TO TAILORS and WOOLLEN-DRAPERS.
BANKRUPT From( at LIVERPOOL—To be
SOLD, by TENDER, all that well-assorted and modern
STOCK in Trade of HENRY CLAP3AM, of Church-
street and Paradise-street, Liverpool, woollen-draper, a bank-
rupt, comprising 1,800 yards of superior West of EDT,land and
Yorkshire woollen cloths, in superfine broads, beavers, pilots,
tweeds, doeskins, kerseys, cords, and velveteens, in great va-
riety of colours and styles. About 1,700 yards of cotton vel-
veteens, moleskins, cantoons, drills, cotton cords, &c. Also
about 3,000 yards of lastings, camlets, cloakings, prunellas,
cashmeres, chalk quiltings, valentias, plushes, satins, s'lk vel-
vets, serges, shalloons, silesias, jeans, ducks, &c., in fashionable
colours and patterns. Also a large assortment of flannels,
parldings, calicos, &a. The trimmings comprise an extensive
variety of plain and fancy metal and covered buttons and silk
twist, edgings, bindings, &e.. In the Miscellaneous Stock
there are about 45 dozens of silk handkerchiefs, a small quan-
tity of gentlemen's ready made linen, satin and silk stocks, and
umbrellas, remnants of cloths, and other articles suitable for
the trade. The Cost Price of Stock will not exceed 1.5001.
The premises have two fronts, one into each of the above-
mentioned streets, and might be used as two shops. They
have been recently fitted up with entirely new fixtures, in a
handsome and substantial manner, at great expense. There
is a large and commodious dwelling-house attached, with a
separate entrance from Paradise-street. The situation is de-
cidedly the very best in Liverpool, and has the advantage of
the business having been carried on upon the premises for
many years past. An in-coming tenant may have the shops
and house for the remainder of a term of fourteen years,
created Ist January, 1839. The stock may be examined, and
an inventory and stock account seen on the premises any
business day, from nine to six o'clock, until the 26th day of
Decemler instant.
Tenders for the stock, fixtures, and possession of the premises,
in One Lot or separately, may be sent in until the last-men-
firmed day, addressed, under cover, and marked "Tender for
Clapham's Stock," to Messrs. Norris, Sykes, and Fisher, Hod-
dersfield ; Mr. Samuel Bowers, fustian manufacturer, Man-
chester; or to Sir. Sutton, 33, Brown-street, -Manchester,
solicitor to the anignees, from whom further particulars may
be obtained.

COLLIS' LADIES' BREAST OINTMENT.
This Ointment is now confidently recommended to the
public as an infallible remedy for all diseases of the Breast,
occasioned by Cold, or the Milk coring in the Breast. It is
a certain cure for Whitlows, Abcess, Scalds, Burns, 13ad Legs,
and all cutaneous diseases; and in consequence of the now
great demand for the Ointment, the Proprietor is induced to
lay it before the public—not as a cure for " all the ills that
flesh is heir to," but in cases as above mentioned it is with the
greatest confidence recommended to the public.

LIFE ASSURANCE.
The Premiums of the Company for the greater duration of
life are lower than those charged by most repectable offices.
Assurances are undertaken abroad as well as at home.
The assured participate in the profits, which are divided at
the expirat.on of every successive period of five years. The
next division will be declared in April, 1844.
The assured may proceed to any part of Europe without
previously communicating with the Directors, or the payment
of an additional Premium. No entrance money or other fee
is charged.
The large capital, and nearly one thousand Shareholders
composing the Company, render the security it offers to the
public undoubted.
FIRE ASSURANCE.
Fire Assurances are accepted at home at the usual rates.
The Company prosecute both Fire and Life Assurances abroad
on reasonable terms.
The receipts for the Renewal Premiums due at Christmas
are ready for delivery at the office in town, and at the agencies
throughout the country. A. HAMILTON, Secretary.

The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of January next, that the same must
be paid within thirty days from that date.
The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly,
on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of
October, either of which several days constitutes the commence-
ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous
of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of
January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Of-
fice, on or before that day.
So various are the plans now before the public for effecting
Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to
make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices
make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium
than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ
in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following
classification may be made :-
Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre-
miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the
Share or Stockholders.

2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions
between Share and Stockholders and the assured.

3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole
of the profit is equally distributed amongst the assured only.
The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have
at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver-
tising rem): ted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre-
ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
41,'

In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af..
pairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing
have been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained
on application at the Office.

the great success which has attended it, since its commence-
ment in 1834.

ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scales
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.

ortNiotts OF THE PUBLIC PRESS IN FAVOUR OF THIS WORK.
"The editor is entitled to the best thanks of the public and to
something more, ito efficient patronage, for having furnished a
series of publications calculated to economise time, and to me-
thodize business; he has skilfully arranged and got up with con-
siderable taste, a series that is decidedly superior to any under-
taking of the kind which has hitherto passed under our review."
—The Atlas, Dec. 5.
" One of the best arranged and most useful diaries that ever
fell under our notice. It contains everything generally y found
in Almanacks, and is prettily bound ; it is one of the neatest of
the kind that we have yet seen ; the mere possession would
tempt the most indolent to keep a daily journal of their idle-
ness."—The National Advertiser, Nov. 19.
" This is the best Student's Almanack we have yet seen, and
we earnestly recommend it as such to their notice."--The
Evangelical Magazine, for December.
" This is a manual to which we can
give our unqualified
commendation. We know not that we ever met with any work
of its class more comprehensive or complete. It must be an in-
valuable companion for the year ; to all classes we therefore re-
commend this work."—The Christian Examiner, for Dec.
~ We were not, however, prepared for this emphatically
valuable companion for the merchant and tradesman. To that
numerous class of our readers, the commercial travellers, we
feel we arc rendering a service when we direct their attention
to the ' Diurnal Recorder ;' which, within the space of a com-
mon pocket-book, furnishes every variety of information they
can require in the transaction of their daily business."—Globe,
Oct. 18.
" This is decidedly the most valuable work of the kind
which has appeared, and will, we confidently predict, find its
way into every countinghouse, and into the hands of every
man of business, when its merits become known."—Advertiser,
Oct. 15.
" But o'ur diary-maker does insist on the imperfections of
former books of this kind, and on the excellence of his own,
and he seems well entitled to hold this opinion. The ' Diurnal
Recorder' is an admirable register of the professional arrange-
ments of all who have money to make, and
, the pleasurable en-
gagements of all who have money to spend. "_Times, Oct. 20.
" He has approached perfection so nearly, that the ' Diur-
nal Recorder,' as it exceeds all other works of that descrip-
tion, must take precedence of them. —Sunday Times, Oct. 30.
" Its great utility, combined with its cheapness, cannot fail to
ensure an extensive sale. It possesses the rare recommendation
of ccon 'raising time, and inethodising business."—Observer,
Oct. 16.
" We believe it will be found that they are deficient in no
good quality by which works ef this class ought to be distin-
guished, and are extended by several striking and original im-
provements."—Menthly Magazine for October.
" It appears to us a decided improvement on those publiea-
tions of this nature to which we have been heretofore Rem-
toured."—The Mining Journal, and Railway and Commerad
Gazette, Oct. 29.
" The printed information is various, useful, and plentiful ;
and the work one to be recommended."—Spectator, Oct. 29.

BIOGRAPHICAL' SKETCH'. OF THE HYGEIST.
James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison,
Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the
year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great
affluence and respectability. and the late Member for Banff-
shire, Juhn Morison, was the second brother of the subject of
this brief sketch. In early life he studied at the University of
Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being in-
tended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his
studies he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and subsequently in
the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India
property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was
obliged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seekinse,
from change of climate, a restoration to health. About the
year 1814 ho settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in gnat
respectability. It is now twenty years ago that, by his discovery
and perseverance, he accomplished his own extraordinary cure.
We cannot do better than transcribe the following interest-
ing particulars given by himself in the " Morisoniana :"
. A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body
and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few,
if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of
this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man,
and been forgotten, and the world could have reaped no benefit
from my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects
produced by the same means on my children. This is a
guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a con-
vincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that ' health
and old age arc within the reach of us all.' "
For the remainder of the case see his " Biographical Sketch,"
by his sons and successors, p. 3.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov.. 16.—This .day Dr. Col-
quhoun, Charge d'Affaires for the llanse Towns,
takes his departure hence. He has just concluded a
commercial treaty with the Porte on behalf of his
Government, and is now bound to. Athens to nego-
tiate a similar treaty with the Greek Cabinet. Con-
sidering he is not
yet seven'and-twenty,it is naturally
thought somewhat remarkable, and exceedingly cre-
ditable to his ability, that this young diplomatist
should already have successfully negotiated treaties of
commerce with Persia and the Porte, and be now, as
I have just said, on his way to. Greece for the purpose
of concluding a treaty of tie same nature between the
Hanseatic Republic and the Government of King Otho.
Horace Walpole tells the annexed anecdote of a
humane jailer in Oxfordshire, who made the follow-
ing application to one of his condemned prisoners :--
" My good friend, I have a little favour to ask of you,
which, from ymir obliging disposition, I doubt not
you will readily grant. You are ordered for exe-
cution on Friday week. I have a particular engage-
rnmt on that day ; if it makes no difference to you,
would you say next Friday instead ? "
Hors.—During the past week several hop-betting
dinners have taken place in Canterbury. The duty
fr next year is, we understand, in every instance set
at 150,0001.—Kentisk Gazette.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS,
FROJI TUE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLCBE.—The Edinburgh Witness, the organ of
the scotch Non-Intrusionists, has the lowing ratlit7
ull^aming paragraph on the approaching euthanasia of
Anglican Prelacy :
"It is rumoured, that within these few days a
letter has been received by her Majesty from the
King of the French, strongly recommending the re-
cognition of the Pope as the head of the Church,
statiog as a reason for such extraordinary counsel,
the universal peace at present prevailing throughout
the world. As might have been expected, it is said
to have created a great sensation in the Palace. We
have also heard that the Pope is expected to conse-
crate in person, of course with unusual splendour, the
Romish cathedral, now erecting in the neighbourhood
of Westminster Abbey."
IVe " believe we can safely affirm," to borrow the
Standard phrase, that these tidings are premature.
Unless in the event of the Whigs return;ng to
office, we do not expect a Concordat with the Papal
See to take place for the next ten years. We have
not, indeed, " authority" to state that nothing of
the kind is contemplated ; and with so staunch a
champion for unity of the Church in the Ministry
as Mr. Gladstone, and so large a phalanx of Oxford
Jesuitry who have megarded that statesman as " the
hope Ot Troy"—it would be rash to say what designs
may not exist of doing the civil to his Holiness. There
is Lord John Manners, who writes in the Church of
• England Quarterly that we should send Rome
an ambassador; but we are not aware that his
'Lordship would go any further in the way of
polite attentions, or would recommend the admis-
sion of a Papal Nuncio to Cabinet Councils. We
should not wonder, if her Majesty should return to
the bosom of the true Church, to see many a Conser-
vative statesman who would attend her, like the Mi-
nisters of James the Second, to the door of the
Chapel Royal, and some who, like those, would ex-
tend their courtiership a step farther. There are
lots of Monks ready made, who like Mr. Faber, in
his " Sights and Thoughts in Foreign Lands," pass
strictures already on the liberty of marriage which Pro-
testant parsons allow themselves (a liberty which
Heaven usually blesses with at least an average increase
and multiplication). There are writers, like those of
the British. Critic, who declare the necessity of un-
protestantising our Church, and deplore " our un-
happy dferences with Rome." There are parsons, up
and down the country, who are making every thing
smart, in the way of wax candles, and embroidered
surplices, to receive his Holiness, if he should visit us.
There is, in short, in a section of our Church, every
desire to shake off the low connection of Protestant
parvenus, and to represent ourselves as the nearest
relatives of " Lord Peter," entitled to take airs ac-
cordingly.
STANDARD.—Of the ten towns that have been
contributing to the League-fund, two, Manchester
and Rochdale, the head-quarters of the "decoy
ducks" of the League, contribute considerably more
than one-third of the whole sum collected, and the
ten comprise much of the greater part, and beyond
comparison the richer part of the territory of the mill-
owner autocracy. The collection of one-fourth of
the projected fund, were it a bona fide collection, in
this millowner-ruled district, would prove little
either for the popularity of the subscription, or for
its ultimate success, is the collection, however, a
bona fide collection? We confess that re doubt it.
Nothing can be easier than to say that any assign-
able sum has been collected, if no account of its
disbursement is to be rendered—pnd, as we have
seen in the case of the missing 100,000/., the League
scorns to render any account. And here we would
submit a caution to persons invited to contribute
their money upon the faith that so much has been
alrealy subscribed. It is no uncommon artifice of
penniless swindlers to solicit a partnership with
simple persons possessing some money, on the pre-
tence that they, the swindlers, will advance an equal
sum, and undertake to conduct the joint concern for
the common benefit. The bait is taken ; the swindler,
who never contributed a penny, or had a penny
to contribute, lives upon the profits of his dupe's
money, postponing the day of account ; and it
commonly happens that the latter, in the end,
finds all lost .in - some wild speculation. Now, may
not the Leaguers be playing this game ? May not
they merely pretend to advance their four or five
thousand pounds, in order to extract from others as
much, of which they are to have the management,
and of which they are to render no account? Such
things have becu done, and we see nothing in the
character of the principal Leaguers to negative the
suspicion that they may be recurring to the old trick.
Men who withhold accounts are always to be suspected

MONEY M.AR,KET and G.TY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

TIMES.—The tenders for the Canada loan will be
made at the Treasury to-morrow morning. Little
notice has been taken of the matter in the City to-day,
but it is rumoured that there are parties prepared to
bid for the whole amount.

The feeling that a thorough alteration is required
in the American tariff, and that the people of the
United States have yet to take a lesson from the com-
mercial liberality of this country, seems, by the pre-
sent American papers, to be spreading more and
more. One great matter which is desired is the ex-
tension of the right of export to goods passed through
the interior of the country, to Canada on the north,
to Texas on the south, or any other neighbouring
people. The laws of England authorising the im-,
portation of almost all sorts of merchandise into
Canada, by way of the United States, are com-
mended for their liberal spirit ; and while the free
trade party are willing to believe that the policy of
England is to turn away trade from the canals of the
United States to the St. Lawrence, they say people
have no right to grumble while they themselves are
diverting trade to a larger amount. Another modifiea- I
tion which is desired in the existing code of commer-
cial law is the introduction of a warehousing system,
by which goods may be placed in the Government
stores, and remain there without payment of duty till
entered for home consumption ;no duty to be paid if
the goods are exported. A permission to the im-
porters to receive their goods from the ship at once,
with liberty to secure the duties by bonds at three
and six months, would, it is thought, be a wise pro-
vision, inasmuch as the present system of cash duties
are found exceedingly burdensome to the merchants

gether seems to be, that it is the present system alone
which hinders the ports of

goods from all parts of the world
intended for re-shipment.
The indictment of Colonel Webb is a common topic
Of discussion among all the American papers, since
not only does the well-known character of the pri-
soner as editor of the Morning. Courier, render him
an object of interest, but the measure of justice with
he is threatened is so very severe, that it would seem
the judicial authorities are determined to make an
example of him, for the
general prevention of that
habit of duelling which is so prevalent in the United
States. The Colonel is neither indicted for giving nor
receiving a challeng-e, but simply for leaving the State
with the-intent of giving or receiving one. The law
under which he is indicted is as follows :
section 1. Every person who shall fight a duel
with any deadly weapon, although no death ensue,
shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment
in a State prison for a term not exceeding ten years.
" 2. Every person . who shall challenge another to
fight such duel, or who shall send or deliver any
written or verbal message purporting or intended to
be such challenge ; or who shall accept any such
challenge or message ; or who shall knowingly carry
or deliver any such challenge or message; or who
shall be present at the time of fighting any duel with
deadly weapons, either as second, aid, or surgeon ; or
who shall advise or give any countenance or assistance
to such duel; shall, upon conviction, be punished by
imprisonment in a State prison for a term not exceed-
ing seven years.
5. If any inhabitant of this State shall leave the
same, for the purpose of eluding the operation of the
provisions herein contained respecting duelling or
challenges to fight, with the intent of . giving or re-
ceiving any challenge herein prohibited, or of aiding
or abetting in giving or receiving such challenge, and
shall give or receive any such challenge, or shall aid
and abet in giving and receiving the same, without
this State, shall- be deemed as guilty, and shall be
subject to the like punishment, as if
,the offence had
been committed within this State."

Marshall, who would have been his antagonist, in
consequence of several violent articles in his paper,
was without the reach of the laws of New York,
not being a citizen of the State, and the offence not
having been committed within its boundaries,
the Colonel remained the sole object of judicial
prosecution. Having pleaded guilty to the indict,-,
meat, Colonel Webb was committed to the " Tombs,"
there to await his sentence. The journalists of New
York, it woul,d s ern, with almost the single exception
of the editor of the journal of Commerce, have sunk

CHRONICLE.—This was settling day in the
Foreign Stock Market. .Money was extremely eau-,
and there having been no speculative action durin?

was easily adjusted. The notice that the fourth hall.
yearly dividend on the New Spanish Threes, due the,

The advices received to-day, by the packet-ship.
Roscius, from 'flew York, state that, by a law passed
last session of the Legislature,, the New Orleans,
banks were ordered to resume payment in specie on
Monday, the sth day of December iost. The banks
whose course is most looked to, in this respect, are
the Bank of Louisiana, the Canal Bank, City Bank,
Commercial Bank Consolidated Association, Louisi-
ana State Bank, Mechanics' and Traders', anti the
Union Bank. Two of these, the Bank of Louisiana
and the Mechanics' and Traders' Bank, are stated to
have resumed at the date of these advices, and the
remaining six were expected also to obey the law.
A large amount of specie had been received in Nesi
Orleans, the total between the period from the 21st
October to the 14th November inclusive, being stated!
at 1,843,013 dols., exclusive of about 300,000 dols..
received per Mobile and the Diver, during the months
of September, October, and November. Specie be-
gan to flow into New Orleans about
.the Ist of Sep.
tember, and large shipments of coin were still ex-
pected.. Exchange on London at New York, fik to
61, with little doing, on the 23d November. The
Philadelphiabanks are said to have two millions and a
quarter of dollars in specie in their vaults, which ex-
ceeds the amount of their circulation. First rate
paper, out of doors, in Philadelphia, was readily nego-
tiated at from 6to 9 per cent. A sale by order of the
Court of Chancery took place in New York on the
24th November, which sold in 1836 for 40,000 dols.
The same property was purchased, at the above-
mentioned date, for 22,100 dols. Several parcels of
Pennsylvania Stock were offered to public sale, in
lots, on the same day, the Governor and Secretary
of State being present. These Stocks, which paid
dividends in 1841, and which cost 2,925,799 dols.,
were not to be sold under a price fixed previously.
The Executive reserved the right to buy in the stocks
on behalf of the State. Of 3,750 shares of the Penn-
sylvania Bank Stock, ten were put up at 50 dols.,
and not sold. Ten shares, out of 5,233 Philadelphia
Bank were then put up at 65 dols., and not sold.
Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank Stock, and Ochryhill
Navigation Company, also passed without bids. Penn-
sylvania and Ohio Canal Company, 90 shares in nine
lots, bid up to 46, 59, CO, 69, 72, and 73 dols., when
the sale was stopped. Ten shares cf the olum-
bia Bridge were bid in at 81 dols. per share. An un-
successful attempt was then made to sell some
of the "no dividend stocks." For the Union
Canal no sales. Twenty shares of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal were bid in by the Secretary of
the Commonwealth, at 20 dol. 'lhe sale was then
adjourned to the Ist of March. We take the above
account of the proceedings from the New York He-
rald, which adds :—" Thus ended the imposing and
novel ceremony of the Executive of a sovereign State
putting up its property to sale for the means of
paying its debts. Mr. Nicholas Biddle has published
a series of letters in the American papers, advocating
the doctrines of good faith, and the sacredness of
public engagements. Ile denounces the " repudiators"
in the most severe terms. What effect such advice may
have from that notorious person remains to be seen,
but we wish the good cause had been in other hands.

POST.—Theadvertisement of the payment of
dividends on the Three per Cent. Spanish bonds,
being for the fourth half year, includes no provision
for the payment of -the Treasury bonds formerly
advertised to be paid off, and now more than six
years overdue. The holders of the said securities,
accordingly, repeat their well-founded complaints of
the treatment to which they are subjected at the
hands of the Spanish Government, as exhibited in
their total neglect of those privileged and preferable
obligations. Down to the present day they have never
received one farthing of their due, either in interest
or principal, although the payment of the one and the
other was advertised in the London journals just as
that of the dividends on the new Three per Cents., a
recently accrued debt, is advertised at the present
time; and the partiality shown in the business is a
very serious aggravation of the more substantial in-
justice practised upon the holders in the long and
dogged refusal of payment of their legitimate de-
mands. The interest of the Three per Cent. stock is
advertised for payment at the end of the month, but
the capital of the debt accrued only at the close of
1840 ; while of the Treasury bills advertised for pay-
ment by the Ambassador, both principal and interest
were due in 18:37. Of course, nothing can be more
tantalizing to the sufferers, or more fatal to the credit
of their oppressors.

cations ? They must be the most Quixotic of dreamers.
General Sancho, the Ambassador, expresses himself
fairly towards the holders of the dishonoured bonds.
lie acknowledges to the fullest extent the preferability
of character of the Treasury engagements in ques-
tion ; the agents do the same ; yet no practical mea-
sure is adopted for the relief of the parties.
