DEPARTURE OF IBRAHIM PACHA

-
FOR IRELAND.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.—His Highness Ibra-
him Pacha, accompanied by his attendants, arrived here last
night by special train from Manchester, and immediately
drove to the Adelphi Hotel, where apartments had been pre-
viously prepared for his reception. He was up at an early
hour this morning, set out shortly after seven o'clock, and
drove along the docks for the purpose of seeing the shipping
on the river. He also inspected in his progress one of the
British and North American mail steam-ships, and other
vessels. His worship the Mayor joined his Highness in his
state carriage at the Princess Pier, and accompanied him to
the Adelphi, whither they returned about ten o'clock to
take refreshments. During the day he drove out and visited
some of the leading establishments in, town, and sailed for
Belfast at eight P.M. in the new steam-ship Windsor.

FRIEND TO THE POOR.—The gentleman who has
been instrumental in exposing the harsh and cruel conduct
exercised towards the, agricultural labourers by their mas-
ters, in Wilts, Hants, and other counties, having given great
offence to some who are guilty of what he charged them
with, they therefore sought every means to be revenged upon
the reporter. Hearing he had imprudently become answer-
, able for the debt of another person to the amount of 25L,
several waited upon the creditor, to induce him to sue for the
amount, which he at length consented to do, getting
,judg-
ment, the debt and costs amounting to more than 40/., for
which sum he (the poor man's friend) has been taken in ex-
ecution, •and committed to the county prison, Winchester,
where he now is. His income being very limited, and hay-
ing a motherless family of six children, he is unable to dis-
charge the debt. We trust the generous and feeling public
will not suffer one with so noble a spirit, and who has done
much good to the poor and oppressed, to remain long incar-
cerated for so comparatively small a sum.—(Front a Corres-
pondent.)

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF TRADE.—
The Society of Guardians for the Protection of Trade cele-
brated their anniversary festival in the usual manner on

THE CONVICT BARBER.—From voluminous letters
and papers recently received from Barber, now in Norfolk
Island under sentence for the will forgeries, it appears that
he still ardently clings to the hope of ultimately establishing
his innocence and obtaining emancipation. He appears to
have used the most unremitting exertions for such objects,
and has succeeded in exciting much sympathy, and of en-
listing in his favour clergymen, magistrates, military officers,
and other persons of rank and influence, through whom in-
vestigations have been conducted, and certificates given de-
claratory of their conviction of his innocence, the particulars
of which have been transmitted to Sir James Graham, with
a view to obtaining, an official investigation.
THE POTATO- LIISEASE.—We have now lying before
US a sample of new potatoes, grown near Knutsford, which
exhibit the very worst form of the prevalent disease; and 1
the statement made to us respecting them is, that about a
week before they were taken up there was not the slightest
appearance of disease in the field ; and that at the present
time the entire crop is affected.—Manchester Guardian.
LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL.—We hear that the Duke
of Bedford has received favourable accounts from Genoa re-
lative to the illness of his brother, Lord William Russell. He
had been pronounced out of danger.
