MR. TIUSKISSON.

(FROM A LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT.)
On Saturday our worthy Representative drove
into town from Sudley, the seat of N. Robinson,
Esq. our worthy Mayor. About four o'clock in the
afterinn, and other
oon,accompgettlem
accompanied by his Worship, Sir ;tole,
Tobin, n, the
Right Hon. Gen-
Oman, who seems in the enjoyment of vigorous
health, appeared on 'Change. He was, on entering
the Exchange News-room, immediately surrounded
by a crowd of gentlemen, who honoured him with a
most cordial welcome, which must have been ex-
tremely gratifying to his feelings. Mr. Huskisson then
addressed the assembly in the following terms :
" Gentlemen,—Allow me to offer you my most
cordial and grateful thanks for this very kind and
flattering reception. The honour of being thus
noticed and distinguished by vou, at this time, is to
me the more gratifying from being unexpected—un-
expected, because my present visit to my friends at
Liverpool is not on any public occasion, or with
reference to any public event ; neither am I here in
any public character. I am here not to solicit further
favours, but to make my personal acknowledgments
(too tardily, perhaps) for those which I have already
received at your hands. lam here as a private in-'
dividual, a Member of Parliament—one of your
members, it is true, and, as such, justly proud of the
high honour of representing thisgreat and enlightened
community—as such solicitously courting as it has at
all times been my duty and inclination to do, the
most extensive and unreserved intercourse with my
constituents upon all matters of public interest, more
especially those by which your useful occupations
and honourable pursuits are interwoven and identified
with the general concerns and welfare of this great
country. In this my individual capacity tam ready,
gentlemen, to obey your commands upon all points
of local interest. lam anxious to receive from you
suggestions upon those of a more general nature.
The latter shall be considered by me with the most
careful attention, and with the most studious desire
to forward the views arid wishes upon which they
may be founded. I have heard, with great concern,
that the present period is one in which the business
carried on within these walls is rather to be marked
by the extent of the transactions than by the I
amount of profit which they afford. I regret this
state of things. I hope and believe that it will not
be of long duration : but whilst it exists, it affords
an additional reason for my seeking among you any
information which your practical knowledge and ex-
perience may enable you to afford, with a view to
such relief (if any there be within the reach of Par-
liament) as may tend to mitigate the pressure, or to
abridge the term, of the difficulties under which the
industry and commerce of the country now labour."
This speech, which was applauded throughont,
was followed by loud cheers. We saw several per-
sons who did not join in the cheering ; but we did
not hear them utter any audible sounds of disappro-
bation against Mr. Huskisson. Two gentlemen,
who stood near us, seemed desirous of getting up
" three cheers for the shipping interest," in answer
to those raised in favour of the Right Hon. Gentle-
man; but as neither had the courage to propose the
cry, the whole passed over quietly.
From the Exchange news-room Mr. Huskisson
ascended to the Underwriters' room, where his.re-
ception was as flattering as it had been in the lower
room. He addressed the gentlemen present, briefly
recapitulating the remarks which he had made in
the Exchange news-room. " One cheer more"
was then proposed and given, the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman appearing highly delighted with the recep-
tion which he had received from the merchants of
Liverpool. Whilst passing through the lower room,
after he had been up stairs, three or four persons
made an attempt to hiss our distinguished Repre-
seutative.

Mr. Huskisson returned to the Town-hall, accom-
panied by the Mayor and a number of gentlemen.
There is some likelihood of a public dinner being
given to Mr. Huskisson during his stay.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GENTLEMEN AMATEURS' ROWING MATCH

FOR TWO SILVER CUPS.

Yesterday the annual contest between twelve amateurs
for two Silver Cups, superbly chased, took place in the
afternoon, from the Red House, Battersea, to Hammer-
smith Bridge, with the tide. The match excited the most

lively interest among the most distinguished amateurs, and
some time previous to the start the majority of those in
town assembled at Mr. Swayue's. About a quarter to
five the following crack amateurs took their stations from
buoys off the Red House :
J. D. Bishop and H. Clinton Attenburrow...Green
E. Speer and Charles Duke I ight Blue
A. F. Bayford and Henry C. Wingfield Scarlet
J. H. Bayford and Richard Cannon, jun Purple
W. Duke and W. Denison Yellow
W. Wood and A. L. Slater Pink.
At starting, Messrs. Bishop and Attenburrow took the
lead, followed by Messrs. Slater and Wood, but in conse-
quence of Messrs. Bayford and Cannon touching Mr. Sla-
ter's boat on the quarter, they became seo,,nd. They con-
tinued in this manner to Putney, when Messrs. Bishop and
Attenburrow fouled a boat moored off the Star and Garter,
and before they could clear themselves Messrs. Bayford and
Cannon passed them. After a most severe and admirably
contested snatch, the splendid prizes were won by Messrs.
Bayford and Cannon, Mess's. Bishop and Attenburrow
were second, and Mr. Slater and his partner third. Se-
veral six, eight, and ten-oared boats accompanied the match.
