TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—By the one o'clock train I received the following list
of the supposed starters for the Liverpool Cup—viz., Wine-
sour, Milton, Corranna, Lothario, Extravaganza, Verton,
Little Hampton, Cock Robin, Ironmaster, Rowena, Duke of
Kent, Truehey, Miekey Free, Dog Billy, Godfrey, April
Noddy, and Ambition. I shall still advise my readers to
look to Milton 410 Mickey Free, reserving Lothario
for a " cockboat." Trueboy's running yesterday has sent
him entirely out of the market. For the Derby Handicap
to.day Sweetmeat or Quebec will no doubt prove the winner.
The (Open's Plate to Poussin or Bretwalda.
On Friday tho Liverpool St. Leger will bring the fol-
lowing ten to the post-,-,viz., Pantasa, Vaudeville, Cini-
zelli, Pug, Ada, Wolf Dog, (Mid Ireland, the Bay
filly by Sheet Anchor, and perhaps Mentor, the latter rather
doubtful. Qut of these I stut expect to see Pantasa first,
The Baron, Mentor, and Quid Ireland following close. The
Grosvenor Stakes to Pluto or Sweettne!.-4. The Stanley Stakes
to rug or Lord Harry, the Witch in attmckince ; anti the
Selling Stakes to Poussin, with Dr. Wood or Juvenal second.

BONDED CORN BILL.

The House then went into Committee on this Bill.
On the first clause being put,
Mr. M: GIBSON remarked that the object of the Bill. was
to continue an Act which enabled the owners of foreign v, st ;sels
to victual their ships out of bond, or free of duty, and as tho ex-
tension of railways was likely to diminish the coasting tr ade
very seriously, he trusted Government would take into tl ieir
consideration the propriety of extending the same privileil e to
coasting traders.
The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the Hl'ouse
having resumed, the report was ordered to be brough -1 up
t o-morrow.
THE EXCISE DUTIES BILL (CHANNEL ISLAM' C,S.)
The House then went into Committee upon this Bill.
The clauses were gone through.
The House resumed. and the report was ordered Ito be
brought up to-morrow (this dap).
The Unclaimed "tock and Dividends Bill was then r. sad a
third time and passed.
The Criminal Jurisdiction of Assistant Barristers Bill (Ire•
land) was read a third time and passed.
The Bail in Error Bill was then read a third time.
On the order of the day for the third reading of the Lc matic
Asylum Bill,
Sir R. FERGUSON objected to the mode of inspection , and
suggeered that some improvement ought to be made in this
particular.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, and
the Bill was read a third time and passed.
The report on the Drainage ( Ireland) Bill was brought up
and received.

TAXING MASTER COURT OF CHANCERY (IR E-
LAND) BILL.
On the order of the day for the second reading of this B
Sir R. FERGUSON suggested that the Bill should be • de-
ferred to give time for inquiry into its merits.
Mr. T, B. C. SMITH slid that he had been requested. by
the ft-la:tees in Ireland to introduce the Bill, for such wa s the
accumulation of business it, the Court of Chancery there, that
this I<ill was absolutely necessary to enable them to get throt igh
it. He could not, therefore, think of deferring it until an-
other session.
The Bill was then read a second time.
The Masters and Workmen's Bill went through Committee-
On the motion that the Merchant Seamen's Bill be re ad a
third time,

Sir C. NAPIF.R objected to the Bill, because he did not
consider that it contained one single provison against the per-
nicious end nefarious practice of the crimps. The Ga llant
Officer concluded by urging on the Gcvernment the prop. rsety
of postponing the measure,
Sir G. COCKBURN denied that the Bill was inefficient to
prevent the iniquities of the crimps. It had been introd aced
after mature deliberation, with the express purpose of re, goy
ing them, but as the gallant officer appeared disposed to snl
London, England, 1845-05-15

Resolutions approving of the respective Bills were pat
and carried unanimously.
Mr. J. M. UPCROFT congratulated the Proprietors on
the success that had hitherto attended the exertions
of the Directors to make the line more extensively
useful to the public by the increased accommodation
afforded to all classes, and especially to the middle
and poorcr class of passengers.—(Applause.) He con-
cluded some further observations by proposing that
the cordial thanks of the Proprietors be given to
Mr. George Carr Glyn, the chairman, and to the
Board of Directors, for the success that had hitherto
attended their exertions to establish the property of the
Proprietors on a secure basis, and to render the Company
more extensively useful to the public by the admirable
arrangements proposed at the last meeting, and the
measures since adopted for carrying them into effect,
which the Proprietors entirely approved of, and pledg
themselves to support the Directors in all such other
steps as they may consider necessary to obtain the
sanction of Parliament to their various important pro•
jests.
Mr. WILLIAMS seconded this, and testified to the good
feeling that had always been displayed on the part of
the London and Birmingham towards other interests,
and trihted that they would always be willing to
maintain their own rights consistently with those of
others.

The CHAIRMAN returned thanks on behalf of himself
and colleagues. It had always been their desire to carry
out the concerns of the great undertaking they were en-
trusted with on a footing of perfect amity with their
neighbours, and they had tried in every direction to
evince that spirit to the utmost extent. They bad been
anxious to encourage any opportunity for negotiation
that might be offered, and had been ready, for the sake
of peace, to make considerable pecuniary sacrifioes, but
they had determined upon never submitting to any con-
ditions at the expense or to the disadvantage of their
allies.—(Applause.)
In reply to a question from Mr. Williams,
The CHAIRMAN said that the Northampton and Peter-
borough line had already been partially opened, and
that probably by the 2d of June it would be opened to
the public throughout, The line, it would be satisfactory
to know, had not only been finished within the time, but
within the estimate.—(Applause.)

In consequence of the great variety of counterfeit Envelopes
of ItOWLAND'S KALYDOR, and other disreputable means resorted
to by unpriuciplei individuals for imposing on the public their highly
pernicious compounds under the title of " KALYDOR," the Pro-
prietors and sole Preparers of the Original and Genuine Preparation,
acting under a sense of duty, and regardless of expense in the attain-
ment of their object—the protection of tile public from fraud and
imposition, have employed those celebrated artists, Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Co., who have succeeded, at great cost, in producing from
a steel plate a NEW ENVELOPE of exquisite beauty.
It comprises a highly-finished Engraving of the Grecian Graces
standing on a classic pedestal, on each side of which is a rich pro-
fusion of flowers springing from an elegant cornucopia; these taste-
fully blending with Arabesque-scrolls and wreaths, encircle the Royal
Arms of Great Britain, surmounting the words

The intelligence from Vera Cruz is to the 12th ult.
The Neu, Orleans Picayune of the 20th, says Mexico has
not declared war against the United States ; hut the
official paper, El Diario del Goberno, of the 3d instant.,
announces that it is in possession of certain movements
on the part of the Government of a warlike character,
which it is constrained to withhold from the public, as
secrecy is the soul of military operations ; but that journal
adds, that it trusts that the speedy and successful issue
of these operations will soon relieve the public curiosity
in regard to them. The papers of the capital and of
Vera Cruz are occupied almost exclusively with the sub-
ject of annexation. There are not wanting those who
insist that there is no alternative left to Mexico, to pre-
serve untarnished her honour, but war.
The Sig/o of the 4th inst., contains a letter from Mr.
Shannon to the Mexican Minister of Foreign Relations
in reply to the official note of Senor Cuevas, announcing
the termination of official relations between the two
countries. This note, and a circular addressed by the
Mexican Cabinet to the Ministers of France, Spain, and
England, we laid before our readers in our Thursday's
edition. We will now give 2,1 r. Shannon's reply--
which has undergone two translations, first into Spanish
and now again into English—and also a rejoinder from
Senor Cuevas. It appears to us that Mr. Shannon is
not pursuing a dignified course in pressing a correspon-
dence upon the Mexican Government after the publica-
tion of the documents, of which the following are the
sequel:—
United States Legation, March 31st, 1845.
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary, &c., of the United
States, has the honour of acknowledging the receipt of his Ex-
cellency's, Senor Cuevas', Minister of Foreign Relations, &c., note
of the 28th of March, announcing that the Congress of the
United States has sanctioned the annexation of Texas to its terri-
tory ; that the Mexican Minister at Washington had terminated
his official relations and protested against the said act of the
Congress and Government of the United States, and that diplo-
matic relations between the Leo countries should not be continued.
The liberal and honourable sentiments entertained by the actual
Government of Mexico, had induced the undersigned to hope that
the differences which exist between the two Governments could be
arranged amicably upon terms just and honourable to both. It
would appear, however, from the note of his Excellency Senor
Cuevas, that Mexico declines to adjust these differences in this
manner, and thus preserve the peace of the two countries.
The undersigned c an assure his Excellency Senor Cuevas, that
Mr. Shannor. Government entertains the liveliest desire to

" TVS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the
breeding of the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The
cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and
as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry
of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street,
Tailors to the Court, It may be marked that such was made of this
material. The coat Itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT,

vn`lemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity.
Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."—

notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer-

The CHAIRNIAN—The Auditors have examined the
accounts, which will also be read to you, together
with the statement of tl'e Actuary as to the actual
position of the Society.
The SECRETARY then read the audited accounts and
the statement of the Actuary.

The accounts having been read,
The CHAIRMAN said —Befi:re I put it to the meeting
that this report shall be adopted, if any gentleman
present wishes for any information on the subject of
the report or the accounts it will be my duty to listen
to any questions he may like to put, and to give him
the best answer in my power.
Mr. WALKER, of Northampton, asked what was
the meaning of the item in the accounts of 8,0001.
balance in agents' hands ?
The SECRETARY explained that it was the amount
of the balances in the hands of the various agents of
the Society.
The CHAIRMAN—There is, and must be, always a
floating balance in the hands of the country
agents, because premiums are paid to them
every month ; and, although our Society
makes, I believe, shorter settlements with its
agents than any other, yet it is impossible that
the agents should not sometimes have a balance in
hand. They might not owe it all, because the instant
we send them cut receipts we charge them with them.
There must be a continually fluctuating balance
which they settle by sending us either money or re-
ceipts, but they must almost constantly owe us money.
If the sum were a constant balance in hand, it might
be worthy of remark, but it is a constantly varying
balance.

Mr. WALKER—T merely put the question because
it struck me that the amount was rather large.

The SECRETARY—The gentleman next you, Sir,
Mr. Pressland, will tell you exactly the nature of the
balances in the hands of agents.
Mr:WALKER—The agents give security, I believe!?
The CHAIRMAN—They do whenever the transac-
tions they are engaged in are of any amount.
After waiting a short time and finding that no
Proprietor put any further questions,
The CHAIRMAN continued—lt is now my duty to
move that the report which has rust been read be

EARLY CLOSING OF SHOPS.

A public meeting, called for the purpose of taking
some steps to procure the abolition of the present
system of late business hours, so prevalent through-
out the metropolis, was held last night at Blagrove's
Concert Rooms, Mortimer-street, Cavendish-square,
Dr. Epps in the chair.
The meeting was very respectably attended ; a
considerable number of well-dressed ladies being
present.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the
meeting, said that he was sure that all who were met
in that room must feel that this was a cause which
called for thei- warmest sympathy. It was one
which appealed to their kindest and most innate
feelings, for it only asked that they should
do that justice to others, which they
would wish extended to themselves. He was no
admirer of legislative interference in questions of
this kind, and he was very certain that even if the
Legislature of this country passed an Act to- morrow
limiting the hours of labour, that Act would be set
aside by those persons who were most interested in so
doing. Their legislature should therefore be the en-
lightened public mind of the country, and their mea-
sure of success would be in that degree only, in which
they acted on that mind by agitation, and by
continually hoiding up to their mental vision the
baneful effects which resulted from this system.
He would leave to the gentlemen who would ad-
dress the meeting after him, to give a detailed
statement of their proceedings, and the success which
had already attended them ; and first he should call on
the Secretary to report the history of the Society,
and he trusted that the good they had already done,
would form a foretaste of the greater good which
would result from their after exertions.—(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY then entered into a lengthened
statement of the rise, progress, and prospects of the
London General Association of all Trades, for the
abridgment of the hours of business, and concluded
by exposing the fallacy of the saying, that the present
hours were necessary, because people could not make
their purchases sooner.
Several gentlemen afterwards addressed the
meeting, and the following resolutions were unani-
mously agreed to :
" That the meeting views with the deepest regret
the present protracted system of late hours in busi-
ness, as having a tendency to impair the physical
and mental energies of those who are engaged in the
same, without advancing the interest of the employer,
or yielding to any one branch of trade the least con-
ceivable benefit."
" That in order to facilitate the just efforts of those
who are engaged in the laudable endeavour to remove
the grievance contemplated in the first resolution,
this meeting pledges itself to co-operate with and to
assist them to the utmost of its power in securing so
desirable an object."
Thanks having been voted to the Chairman for his
able and impartial conduct in the chair, the meeting
separated.
