LONDON, LIVERPOOL, AND NORTH AMERICAN SCREW
STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.—The Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce held a special meeting on Thursday, to consider
the propriety of memoralising the Board of Trade against
the proposed charter, upon the principle of limited revon-
sibility, to the above company. The president, Hugh

discussion, the meeting agreed to defer the consideration

SHARE TRANSACTION.— In the Court of Queen's Bench,

was an action by the plaintiff, a share-dealer at Bristol, to
recover damages from the defendant, a share-broker in
London, for not selling scrip for 200 Goole and Doncaster
Railway shares, and in not re-delivering to the plaintiff
100 Goole and Doncaster shares and 150 Worcester and
Warwick Railway shares, which had been deposited by the
plaintiff with the defendant in the year 1845. The sum
claimed as a balance of account between the parties was
1,7251. The jury found a verdict for the defendant.

That constitutes a tolerably fair specimen of the

whole transaction !
said the orator,

"May we not now feel,"
" that we have reached his

grave ?" (They were on a platform in the Metro-
politan Hall.) " The grave of akrairr. WEnsTER!
What though he moulder beneath the turf of

his beloved Marshfield, the whole of our broad
land has au equal title to his tomb as to
his services and his fame. We are beside

his grave !" Mr. J. T. BRADY was not only
beside that--he was obviously beside himself !
For thereupon, after calling upon his hearers to
imagine him and themselves to be standing on
the brink of the grave of WEBSTER, he turns with
a sort of ferocity towards a distant land on the

other side of the ocean, and begisst bespattering
an illustrious man, who had nothing whatever to

do with the ceremony, with the mud of a hybrid
kind of abominable Yankee Billingsgate. This, re-

member, was at " the grave of WEBSTER"-mean-
ing the platform of the Metropolitan Hall in New
York. Surely it was THERSITES in the robe of

BOSUET standing over the tomb of one of the

GRACCKI.

Elsewhere than through the Funeral Oration of
Mr. J. T. BRADY, the memory of the illustrious
deceased was insulted by an indecorous affectation.

Take in testimony of this some of the very prepos-

terous and tawdry decorations displayed from the
'windows or upon the walls of the houses lining
the pathway of the procession. Look at the in-

scriptions hung out by the haircutters and confec-
tioners. Sometimes, no doubt, the simplicity of
these inscriptions was not unworthy of the man
and the occasion--one being, for instance, simply
WEI3STER another, " DANr Fs-. WEBSTER, 1852 ;”
another, "To the memory of DANIEL WEB-
Occasionally, too, one of these in-
scriptions rose to eloquence, as where it was
said by one of the placards " Webster is Dead,
yet Speaketh." But elsewhere the banners were
inscribed with the most silly
tality, tokens of sentimen-
with the. most hackneyed verse, or the most

AMERICA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING.
The United States Mail Steam-ship Pacific, Com-
mander Nye, which has so long been delayed by
adverse winds that the greatest anxiety was felt
lest any disaster should have befallen her, arrived
in the Mersey at midnight with 34 passengers and
150,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Pacific
did not sail from New York on the appointed day,
but remained until Sunday morning at seven, a.m.
On the 4th inst. the Pacific fell in with the wreck
of the barque Jesse Stephens, of Quebec, bound to
Belfast, dismasted and waterlogged. This was in
lat. 48, long. 40. The Pacific took off the crew,
16 in number, and the passengers on board the
steamer raised a subscription of 500 dollars for the
crew of the boat that went to the rescue.
Discussions relative to the affair of the Crescent
City occupy the New York papers. Captain Devon-
port has been withdrawn from the command of that
vessel by command of Government, and no navy
officer has been since allowed to go out in her.
Whilst the ever-to-be-remembered Purser Smith is
on board, no mails are allowed to go by post as far
as the Crescent City is concerned, and the various
insurance offices have declined insuring the Crescent
City. She has put into port for repairs, but the
Cherokeeon board. The latter left for Havannah on the 27th,
and
the Government has
disavow all responsibility.
When the Pacific sailed stocks were firm at New
York • very little business was done, however, as it
was Thanksgiving-day on Thursday, and a very
heavy rain fell on Friday. Money was abundant.
The Breadstuff Market less active, and prices rather
lower than previously reported.
The Cotton Market was in very nearly the same
state as when the Canada left Boston.
In provisions there was no change.
Exchange on London was in moderate demand at
10i to . The continental rates were nominally as
before, very little paper offering, and no great
necessity existing for transfers.
London, England, 1852-12-11

GERMANY.

At the sitting of the First Chamber in Berlin, on,
the 17th, the Minister of the Interior, M. de.
Westphalen, communicated to the Chamber the,
provisional electoral ordinances on the formation of,
the Second Chamber of the month of August last,
'and presented the project of law relative to the
future composition of the First Chamber. As these
projects of law ho,d_been mentioned in the Royal
Speech, they were of course expected, but the pro-
position of the Minister, for prolonging the period
of the Parliament for six years, and only to con-
voke them every second year, was quite unexpected,
and cauf4ca much astonishment.
It is reported that the right of the First Cham-
ber will support these propositions, as they hope
that thereby the political importance of the provin-
cial diets will be re-established.
The Prussian Moniteur contains the following
bulletin on the health of Prince Albert of Prussia :
—"His Royal Highness has passed a better night,
and this morning his pains have ceased."

GERMANY.

At the sitting of the First Chamber in Berlin, on
the 17th, the Minister of the Interior, M. de,
Westphalen, communicated to the Chamber the
provisional electoral ordinances on the formation of
the Second Chamber of the month of August last,
and presented the project of law relative to the
future composition-of the First Chamber. As these
projects of law had been mentioned in the Royal
Speech, they were of course expected, but the pro-
position of the Minister, for prolonging the period
of the Parliament for six years, and only to con-
voke them every second year, was quite unexpected,
and caused much astonishment. _ _

It is reported that the right of the First Cham-
ber will support these propositions, as they hope
that thereby the political importance of the provin-
cial diets will be re-established.

The Prussian Moniteur contains the following
bulletin on the health of Prince Albert of Prussia :
—"His Royal Highness has passed a better night,
and this morning his pains have ceased."

AMERICA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING.
The United States l4lail Steam-ship Pacific, Com-
mander Nye, which has so long been delayed by
adverse winds that the greatest anxiety was felt
lest any disaster should have befallen her, arrived
in the Mersey at midnight with 34 passengers and
160,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Pacific
did not sail from New York •on the appointed day,
but remained until Sunday morning at seven, a.m.
On the 4th inst. the. Pacific fell in with the wreck
of the barque Jesse Stephens, of Quebec, bound to
Belfast, dismasted and waterlogged. This was in
lat. 48, long. 40. The Pacific took off the crew,
16 in number, and the passengers on board the
steamer raised a subscription of 500 dollars for the
crew of the boat that went to the rescue.
Discussions relative to the affair of the Crescent
City occupy the New York papers. Captain Devon-
port has been withdrawn from the command of that
vessel by command of Government, and no navy
officer has been since allowed to go out in her.
Whilst the ever-to-be-remembered Purser Smith is
on hoard, no mails are allowed to go by post as far
as the Crescent City is concerned, and the various
insurance offices have declined insuring the Crescent
City. She has put into port for repairs, but the
on board. The latter left for Havannah on the 27th,
Governmentehasbeendispatched, with Purser Smith
disavow all responsibility.
