KELLY'S BUTTER PLACE,

) PRESERVE

THE PEACE OF EUROPE,

The aspect of the Continent
Now fills us with alarms,
When we behold Sardinia, France,
And Austria in arms.
Not that we tremble for ourselves,
Here in our home sea-girt;

Yet still we would the scourge of war
From other lands avert.

The skilled n foreign politics
Their brains are racking now
Peace to preserve in Europe
By all means, no matter how.
A General Congress they propose,

By means of which they trust
The various points of difference
To speedily adjust..

With all respect for such -wise heads.
I rather think I can
Propose a much more simple
And a much le,s tedious plan.
The self-same plan which I propose,
When India re_belled,.
Which plan was tb.,,,n adopted,
_ _

And behold the mutiny'quelled

Let every one who peace desired
To Kelly quickly hie, •
And him beseech each army
With his butter to supply.
On tasting which all thoughts of war
Within each breast would cease,
And every voice break forth in praise
Of butter and of peace.
And tell me, would each hostile host

A whit more glory gain
By struggling like " Kilkenny cats."
Till tails alone remain!

nt suggestion referred to appeared thus, is Jll3*.

" In re" - greased cartridges—
" Th• Government should really send to Delhi,
" Some Butter from the celebrated Kelly,"
Aid we all know what followed.

As some uneasiness was felt by the people of Liverpool,
with respect to a continuation of this yellow Butter at Bd.,
we beg to inform them, we shall have quite enough to meet
the demand to the 12th May.

EXTRAORDINARY AND USE-I'UL INVENTION.—There is
nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful-
ness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass,
valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such
things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended.
The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary arid
effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near
Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal, in a per-
fect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articles spoken of ,
and not only in these, -but in marble, alabaster, &c. The
benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen
some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the
glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part
than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house
can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale
in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by
looking in at his establishment. Agent for Liverpool, E.
T. Hall, 23, South John-street. Sold in bottles, is each,
or sent free on receipt of sixteen postage stamps. N.B.—

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
LIVERPOOL, Monday Evening.
There has been a decided improvement in the tone
of the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day, and, with an
active demand, a large business has been done, the
sales amounting to 12,000 bales, about 3,000 of
which have been taken for.speculation and export.
Prices have been improved to the extent of an
eighth per pound since Friday last. The following
are the

The London Stock Market has been much more
buoyant to-day than for some time past, and in the
absence of stock offering, and without an increasing
demand, prices for Public Securities have improved.
Consols opened firmly at the closing quotations of
Saturday, and at. noon they had advanced to 911,
and from that time continued to improve until the
final close, when they stood at 914. The closing
quotations for. other Securities were- Three per
Cents., 901, 904 ;,.Bank Stock, 216, 219 ; Exchequer
Bills (large and small), 16, 23, prem.
The London Share Market, influenced -by the
improved tone of the Stock Exchange, showed much
greater activity this .rhorning, and with a fair
amount of business,.. prices throughout the day
showed a gradual iniproVe.ment until the final
close, when the quotations stood as follow :-Amber-
gate, Nottingham, and Eastern Junction, 51,
54 ; Caledonian-s, -73, 75 ; Preference, 98, 100;
Eastern Counties, 52, 53 ; East Lancashire,

The London Corn Market was not so firm to-day,
and with a plentiful supply of wheat, prices were
from 3s. to 4s. per quarter below the currency of
Monday last. Foreign was sold at a decline of from
2s. to 3s; In other articles the decline was not quite
so heavy.

In the general business of the port of London,
during the past week, there was less activity.
The number of ships reported inwards at the Custom
House, from foreign ports, amounted to 143 ; there
were 5 from Ireland, and 157 colliers. The entries
outwards were 81, and the clearances 107 vessels,
besides 18 in ballast. The departures for the Aus-
tralian colonies have been 8 vessels, viz. ; 4 to Port
Philip of 4,194 tons, 1 to Sydney of 825 tons, and
3 to New Zealand of 1,546 tons ; total tonnage,
6,565.

There was a meeting of the shareholders of
the Central Oude Railway Company to-day for
the purpose of considering the question of coafirming
the amalgamation of the company with the Oude
Railway Company •n ceftain terms, and by an in-
crease of the deposit of five shillings per share, to
correspond with the deposit of the Oude Railway
Company. There was some discussion, but the
proposed amalgamation was agreed to unanimously.
The demand for Money at the Bank on Saturday
was rather active, but not pressing. In Lombard-
street the business was only moderate. The discount
establishments are almost oppressed by the mass of
money poured in upon them now that their rates
for loans have been raised, yet, having no longer
the Bank of England to fall back upon, they are
very cautious indeed in all their transactions. First
class bills having a few weeks to run would not be
refused at 41 per cent , but the bulk of the current
business is transacted at a decided advance upon the
bank minimum.

The drain of gold from the Bank continues. The
amount withdrawn on Saturday was £92.000, mak-
ing a total of £176,000 since the date of the return
last published.

Some of the Paris letters mention an impression
that the Bank of France will ere long be compelled
to raise their rate of discount from 4 to 5 per cent.
The monthly return of this establislunent will be
published next Friday.

Immediately, upon the conclusion of the June
settlement, Consols *ill be quoted ex the half-yearly
dividend.

Throughout the Stock Exchange the feeling to-day was
more cheerful. The Funds exhibit a • fresh rise o' nearly
per cent. Most of the English Railway Stotts have
recovered 1 to 1 per cent. The demand for money at the
Bank to-day was rather active, but not pressing. In
Lombard-street the business was only moderate. The drain
of gold from the Bank continues. The amount withdrawn
this day was £92,000. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent.
Rentes closed at an improvement of about 4 per cent. It
is said that the Government is supporting the Bourse,
in order to facilitate the issue of the new loan.
The fact that the French Markets has twenty millions of
pounds of new Stock hanging over, ought to render Consols
almost insensible to its variations: The British Three per
Cants are now quoted 30 per cent. higher than the French
Three per Cents. The returns of the leading French
Railways exhibit a considerable increase, owing to the
transport of troops and munitions of war. The increase in
the receipts of the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean Co., for
the last week, was £20,000 compared with the previous
week.—Daily News City Article, Saturday Evening.
There has been very little business in the Stock Exchange
to-day, and, in the continued absence of political news from
the seat of war or elsewhere, prices have shown comparative
firmness. The adjustment of the account has been com-
pleted, but there are about 22 members who have not as
yet paid their Consol differences in full. Money continues
in good demand at the Bank minimum. The government
broker continues his purchases on account of the Savings'
Banks. Possibly the check that will be given by the war
to many branches of employment, coupled with the sudden
advance in the price of bread and other articles, may not
merely stop the accumulation of these funds, but lead to
withdrawals, in which case the old evil will be repeated of
the government having, when prices are low, to realise the
investments they have effected throughout on a rising
market. Times City Article, Saturday Evening.
