THE LIVERPOOL NATIONAL STEEPL.
CHASE.

The Liverpool, or, as it has been called, the National
Steeple Chase, came off yesterday at Liverpool, and was
won by M.e. Elmore's Lottery. It is singular that in most
of these Steeple Chases the outsiders win, and the favou-
rites are distanced. The concourse of spectators was im-
mense, and the scene altogether was interesting in the ex-
treme. The running was tremendous, and one horse was
killed in the struggle, but we must defer full particulars
till to-morrow. The following is the order in which the
horses were placed:—
Mr. Elmore's Lottery
Mr. Mostyn's Seventy-Four 2
Mr. Webb's Pauline
Won by sixteen lengths.

A private letter from Liege, of the 23d February, states
' that a party of the corps cf the:advanced guard had arrived,
and the remainder was expected in the course of the day.
' The casernes were so full of troops, that they were obliged
to quarter the troops upon the inhabitants. They are als o
expected at Eupen (frontiers of Belgium). The roads to
Aix-la-Chapelle are crowded with troops.
We have only one foreign arrival this morning, a Frendh
mail, and no ship letters ; consequently there is a very
great scarcity of intelligence to the present time.

The private accounts from Brussels state that the report
on the Protocol was to be made on Monday last, and the
' discussion on it was to take place on Tuesday, which, it
was expected, would last during the week. M. Mole, the
French Minister, is very anxious it should terminate before
the meeting of the new Chambers. It dors not appear
that the project of Government will be rejected, which will
cause a lively sensation, and make a difference between the
nation and the Government, dividing the country into great
factions. The mail from Ostend being due to-morrow, we
shall have the important discussions in the Chambers.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English Grain and Flour since Mon-
day are small, but there is a continuation of the supply
of Foreign Wheat. The few buyers who attended here
to-day purchased Wheat to a small extent at Monday's
rates, which were firmly maintained; In other grain
few transactions have taken place, but prices remain as
bet quoted. The bakers buy Flour rather more freely
than of late, and last quotations are realized.

COLONIZATION.—It appears by the Perth
Gazette (Swan River), that the population there was, in
1838, 2,150, occupying a country as large as Spain.—
" Mankind, thus dispersed," says the Editor of the Cape of
Good Hope commercial Advertiser, " are like the wheels
and springs of a watch spread over the artist's table. Each
sleeps, and the sum of all their adaptations and latent
lowers, is, practically, nothing. Placed in proper connec-
tion, each moves industriously round his own centre, re-
ceiving and communicating impulse and order with all
around. We appeal to the population, we could afford to
appeal to the very pigs of Perth, whether there is not a
kernel of truth in this comparison."
The Tory tactics for the Session are as plainly
marked out as if they were written in a book before us.
They say nothing against Ministers, make no attack,
threaten none at present. It is Hail fellow, well met "
between the political rivals, as if the millenium were ac-
tually arrived, and the lion and the lamb were at peace to-
gether. But the reason is obvious. The seeming calm
is merely the precursor of the hurricane. Sir Robert
Peel is at his old tricks again. He knows the effect which
will be produced through the country by the trimming,
shuffling conduct of the Ministers on the question of the
Corn-laws. He is holding back his forces until Whig po-
pularity falls to zero. When the Whigs have sufficiently,
as he thinks, damaged their reputation by following in his
wake, then he will throw off the mask of hollow friend-
ship which he now wears towards them, and give the signal
for a general attack, We shall then have assault upon
assault, motion after motion, to expel the Ministry and let
in the Tories to the fleshpots of office. The Tamworth
Baronet, in his manoeuvres, is certainly as cunning as the
serpent; but, except the confiding and credulous members
of the Administration, no one believes him to be as harm-
less as the dove. In his treatment of the Home Secretary
he strongly reminds us of the Brobdignac monkey's affec.
tion for poor Gulliver. He dandled the unfortunate tra-
veller on his knee in all seeming tenderness, until, watch.
ing his opportunity, he popped him into the marrowbone,
and there left him to make his exit as he could. Sir
Robert is equally bent upon mischief. Fond as he affects
to be of his darling Corn-law Administration, he will as-
suredly marrowbone them on the first possible occasion
v.hich presents itself to him..—Liverpool Albion.
It was understood, when the Anti-Corn-law
Delegates left London to consult their several consti-
tuencies, that their next meeting would be at Manchester.
The day of this meeting has been fixed for Friday, the Bth
day of March.

MANCHESTER EXTENSION RAILWAY BILL.
—A Birmingham paper states that " the petition from the
landowners against this Bill was presented on Monday
evening. It measured sixty-five feet long by two feet
wide."

SANGUINARY MONSTER.—On Monday last a
fellow was brought before the Magistrates sitting in petty
sessions, at Ludlow, charged with having wounded in a
desperate manner a poor woman living on the Clee-hills.
The monster went into the woman's house and attaoked her
with a spade, with the sharp edge of which he cut the flesh
from her head and face, and fractured her skull. The sur-
geon stated that the sufferer could not survive, and the pri-
soner was committed to gaol. The prisoner behaved be-
fore the Magistrates in the most violent manner, and threa.
tened the life of one of them.—Hereford Times,
CHILD BURNT.-011 Saturday night last, a boy,
six years old, the son of a man named Harris, a carpenter,
residing at Little Mill, near Usk, was so dreadfully burned,
that he died the same night. The father of the child was
at the club, and the mother was engaged up stairs when
she heard the screams of the boy whom she had left at the
fire below, but before the poor woman could extinguish the
flame, it had committed such injuries on him as to render
all assistance unavailing.—Monmouthshire Merlin.
