JENNY LIND (GOLDSCHMIDT) AND THE WORKING MEN
or LIVERPOOL.—A short time ago, during her recent visit
to Liverpool. the working men of this town got up a
memorial to Madame Goldschmidt, (Jenny Lind), in
which, after expressing their high admiration of her great
talents. and the pleasure they would experience in hearing
them exercised, they pointed out that, owing to the
necessarily high prices charged for admission to her con-
certs, none of the working classes could enjoy the
privilege of being delighted, like their richer brethren, by
her wonderful vocalism. They begged her, therefore, to
consent to give a concert for the working classes solely, at
prices which would not debar the most humble from par-
ticipating in the rich teat of hearing her " heaven-born "
voice ; and they respectfully suggested in case of her
approval of their request, that the entertainment should
take place in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, as
being the peculiar locale of the cheap and popular concerts
in this town. The memorial was duly presented, and the
fair cantatrice has in her usual good-nature, accorded the
boon asked, but conditionally on measures being taken to
secure the admission to the concert of members of the

working classes only. Madame Lind also intimated au
objection to sing at the Lord Nelson-street Hall, and sug-
gested that St. George's Hall might easily obtained for
the purpose. She also expressed a desire that the pt ice
of admittance should not be lower than half-a-crown. The
arrangement, it is said, is in course of being carried out,
and the concert will probably take place in a week or two
at St. George's Hall. It is to be hoped that those who
are not really of the " working classes," will have too

much good taste and proper feeling, to attempt to take

antage of Madame Goldsehmidt's kindness, to the

CLOSE OF THE GRAND POULTRY SHOW.—SALE AT
MESSRS. LUCAS'S YESTERDAY.—The Liverpool grand
poultry show closed last eve ning, after a most successful
exhibition, both in regard to the number and quality of the
birds, and the sales effected. Of 400 pens, containing 1,250
birds, exhibited, 50 have been sold by private contract, and
yesterday morning some 300 or 400 birds, many of which
had been in the show, were sold by auction, by Messrs.
Lucas, and realised various prices, averaging about £1 a
pen. Of one private sale, the following were the principal
prices :—Pens No. 3 and 4, of black Spanish fowls, the
property of Mr. Davies, of London, were purchased by
Captain Hornby, of Knowsley-hall, for Lord Derby's
collection, at the very high figure of £lOO per pen. £4O
was offered for one Spanish cock, and refused by the owner.
Mr. Brundritt, of Runcorn, exhibited a pen of Spanish jets,
for which he was offered £6O, but he refused to part with
them at that " low price." Pea No. 11, class 1, was pur-
chased by Mr. Lawrence Peel, of this town, for fifteen
guineas. A Dorking cock, belonging to Mr. Alcock, of
Windermere, sold for the extraordinary price of £2O, but
the eterprising purchaser refused to give his name. Pen
169, containing a young game cock, and two game chickens,
belonging to Mr. Hineson, of Buck-lane, became the
property of Mr. Bailey, of London, on payment of ten
guineas. Another Dorking cock sold for £lO, the
purchaser being the Ray. Stephen Donne, of Oswestry. A
pen of bantams, contai,ling a cock and two hens, the pro-•
perry of Mr. Dixon, of Bradford, were bought by Mr.
Conyers, of Leeds, for £2O. The other pens ranged from
eight, and six, to three guineas each.
THE BARQUE CHEROKEE.—On Thursday this case came
before the Court of Admiralty, Dublin. It will be remem-
bered that it was a salvage cause instituted by Thomas
Mitchell and others, the crew of the pilot-cutter Seagull,
fur their services rendered to the impugnant vessel. This
vessel, the Cherokee, of Liverpool, had been bound from
Benin, on the coast of Africa, to Liverpool, with a cargo
of palm oil and ivory, and meeting with stormy weather
had put into Bantry Bay, on her homeward passage,
where a steam tug was chartered to bring her thence to
Liverpool. Owing to the continuing violence of the
gales the tug had parted her towing ropes at sea, off, the
coast of Waterford, and about 9 o'clock, p.m., on the night
of the 31st December last, the Cherokee had got into
the harbour without knowing it, through the darkness,
and let go both her anchors, but one of her chains having
parted, she was dragging her remaining anchor and
going ashore. The mister of the barque, at that time
declined any assistance from the pilot-cutter, but about
one o'clock the following morning, the Ist of January
instant, the barque having then parted her remaining
anchor, was fast drifting with the ebbing tide in on
Creden Head. The master then hailed the pilot-cutter
for aid, and she immediately complying, and putting a
sufficient number of hands on board the barque, after an
hour's work, succeeded in slipping both chains, which
had been trailing after the barque, keeping her
broadQide to both sea and wind, and thus rendering
her unmanageable; got np her foresail and foretop-
her round, and got her up the
' strand. The Cherokee

mast stay sail, wor

"'arbour

had been arrested by warrant of the court, in order
to answer the claim for remuneration for such service,
and had been bailed in the sum of 2,00 W, in order to enable
her to complete her voyage, the bail affording ample
security as, to the issue of the suit. The promovent's
libel having been exhibited, and the cause ready for hear-
Mr. Lee, the proctor for the impughant, make a
50/ to the promovents, and their costs, which
conference, accepted by Mr. Ilarnerton, on the
part of the crew of the pilot cutter. Mr. Lee then prayed
that the stipulation of bail should be subductecl. The
court granted it accordingly.

The dulness and depression by which our
Market had for so long a time been characterised
continued to prevail until about noon yesterday,
buyers having had in the meanwhile a slight ad-
vantage as compared with the quotations of Friday
last in all descriptions except the better classes of
Boweds, .which, being much ,sought after on
account of their superior quality and relative
cheapness, fully supported former rates. On
receipt yesterday, however, of intelligence of the
unconditional acceptance by Russia of the terms
of Peace offered through Austria by the Western
Powers, an immediate and complete change took
place, an urgent desire to purchase being mani-
fested, whilst much of the Cotton previously
offered was at once withdrawn from market. The
business of the day was estimated at 12,000 bales,
4,000 of which were taken for Speculation and
Export, and the prices realized were from id. to id.
per lb. above those previously current. This im-
provevent has been fully supported to day, the
sales being again estimated at 12,000 bales, 4,000
of which are for speculation and export, and busi-
ness has generally been done at an advance of id
per lb. in American descriptiqns below fair, and id
to id in the better classes and in all other kinds of
Cotton on the quotations of 1

The Corn Markets generally are lower. In
Liverpool to-day there was complete stagnation,
and Wheat declined from 4d. to sd. per bushel.
and Flour from is. to ls. 6d. per barrel. In Wake-
field there was very little business done, and sales
of Wheat were made at a decline of ss. per quarter.
Mr. F. J. Eaton, in his circular to-day, gives the
following report of the Tallow trade :

The London market opened quietly this week at 68s to
67s 9d per cwt spot, and Feb. March delivery, but owing to
the large quant ty tendered ex ship gradually declined is
per cwt. on Tuesday and Wednesday ; yesterday, immedi-
ately on the issuing of the second edition of the Times,
asserting the unconditional acceptance by Russia of the
Austrian proposals, there was a complete panic, and the
first price paid was 61s 6d per cwt. Jan: March ; later in
the afternoon, when it was ascertained that Russia only
accepted the proposals as the basis of negotiations, there was
a better feeling, and an improvement of is to is 6d per cwt
took place, at which a fair business was done ; the closing
prices are 62s 6d to 63s Feb. March, 62s 6d to 62s spot,
and 61s per cwt April to June. The stock is now 21,374
cks, against 34,553 in 1854 ; half week delivery 800 cks,
against 708 cks last year. Here, early in the week, small
lots of P. Y. C. brought 69s to 69s 6d per cwt, but since
yesterday's news came to hand the market is very unsettled,
and 65s per cwt „is the nearest price ; 90 cks are to be
offered to-morrow.

At the meeting of Portuguese Bondholders held
to.day the following resolution was agreed to :
" That the agreement dated Dec. 13,1855, between
Mr. Thornton, chairman of Portuguese Bondholders
Committee, and his Excellency Senor Fortes, the
Finance Minister of Portugal, and now read at this
meeting, be approved ; and on the same being
ratified by the Cortes and carried into effect, the
Committee of the Stock Exchange be requested to
give quotation to Portuguese Securities."
The extraordinary excitement in the Stock
Exchange and city circles, has, to-day, in a great
measure subsided, but in nearly- every department
of the security markets, however, the late rise is
well maintained. The extreme fluctuation in the
English Funds, which yesterday was no less than
31 per cent, did not to-day exceed per cent. The
closing quotations were almost exactly the same
the final official prices of yesterda
At ;Paris th

namely, 89/.
Ktroordinary rise is also well sup-
ported. Bank of France shares have risen 150 f.
in two days. At Vienna yesterday an almost unpre-
cedented degree of buoyancy was exhibited. The
Austrian Funds rose sto 4 per cent. All the other
Continental Stock Markets were materially higher.
The following were the closing quotations of
Foreign Exchanges :—Amsterdam, short, 11 163 to
11 17. Do. Three Months, 11 191,- to 123. Rotter-
dam, Do., 11 194 to 12. Antwerp, Do., 25 55 to 25
60. Brussels, Do., 25 55 to 25 60. Hamburg, Do.,
13 9,1 to 13 10. Paris, Short, 25 30 to 25 34.

1203 to 120.& Vienna, Do.. 11 to 11 7. Trieste;
Do., 11 to 11 10. Madrid, Do., 493 to 491;.
The demand for Money, to-day, was active, at full
rates, but with a bare supply. The 180,0001. in
gold, ex Ben Nevis, from Melbourne, was in hand
today. The entire was at once taken for expor-
tation, the demand being active. The Corn
Market to-day, was greatly depressed. To effect
sales of Wheat, the important reduction of • about
5s per quarter from last Monday's prices would
have been necessary. The Tallow Market remains
perfectly paralysed. Yesterday's great rise in the
Railway Share Market, is well maintained, and
the market has resumed a settled appearance.
