LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 22.

The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been considerably less
as to number than the preceding week, but the market has been
tolerably good, and there were a few large Beasts of extraordinary
good quality, which realized last week's prices, but the market has
been rather heavy, and at the latter part of the day, the holders of
Cattle gave way in price a little on Beef of second and ordinary
quality, and a few sales were made, notwithstanding there has been
a good few large Beasts and some of inferior quality left unsold.
The number of Sheep has slightly increased from that of the pre-
ceding week, and pretty good as to quality : buyers were numerous,
and all sold up at about last week's prices. The best Beef may be
quoted at from bid to 7id, middling 6d per lb, and ordinary at a
shade less. Good Wcther Mutton realized fully Bd, middling and
ordinary 7d down to 7id per lb. Number of Cattle at market :
Beasts 1008, Sheep 2720.

COMMITMENTS.

Yesterday a stout man, apparently a labourer in destitu-
tion, named George Holt, was brought before Mr. Hall, on
a charge of stealing a watch from the window of Mrs. Mary
Lane, pawnbroker, Sir Thomas's-buildings. Pierson Jen-
kins, Mrs. Lane's shopman, stated, that about half-past two
on Wednesday, he heard while up stairs, a crash of a pane of
glass in the shop, and on running down saw the prisoner
with his hand through the window, in the act of taking out a
silver watch—(produced). Witness got over the counter
and overtook the prisoner about three yards from the shop.
A person had previously seized the prisoner. On being
asked to give up the watch, he threw it with violence on the
flags. The prisoner was afterwards given in charge. The
watch, before it was broken, was worth six pounds. The
prisoner stated to the officer at the time, that he wished to
be transported. The informations being taken, the prisoner
being asked what he had to say to the charge, said—" I wish
you'd transport me ; that's all I have to say." To a
question from Mr. Hall, why he wished to be transported,
he said he had no wife or family ; that he had had no work
for seven months ; and that he had nothing to eat. He was
committed for trial at the sessions.

A young man, named John Ritchie, was committed for
. .

•
trial under the following circumstances :—A police officer re-
ceived some information, which led him to a stable in Back
Ashton-street, in the occupation of Mr. Johnson, where he
found the prisoner holding open a bag, into which, another
young man not in custody, was putting a cart saddle and
stays, for the purpose, doubtless, of being carried off. An
entrance had been effected by sliding back a window, and
bursting open a folding door. The prisoner said he had been
asked by the other young man, who said he was Mr. John-
son's servant, to go and help him to bring the gears from the
stable. He was fully committed for trial.

FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.
Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half-a-pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London,. Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
`those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
Sold in bottles, at'4s. 6d., 7s. 6d., 10s., 155., and 21s. The
larger sized bottles are the cheapest.

NOVA SCOTIA

Halifax papers to the Bth of liitti;tve been received to-
day. The only important information which they coatain is
respecting the British fisheries of Nova Scotia. The Nova
Scotian Recorder mentions that the eastern shore of that por-
tion of our North American settlements was again infested by
a fleet of fishing vessels from the United States. As many as
seven of them were said to be anchored in Taylor's Bay, and
the same number in the vicinity of St. Mary's. Similar in-
stances of encroachment are believed to have been displayed
along almost every league of the coast from the Gut of Canso
to Beaver Harbour, if not higher up. Quere—What has be-
come of the efficiency of long-contracted treaties and the su-
premacy of the British flag ?—Herald.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1839-06-14

on such a day the thoughts and time of Englishmen!)
—Lord John Russell, who has described secret suf-
frage as " an unendurable anomaly," will either openly
permit, or silently connive at, the democratic and un-
English section of his cabinet voting for its introduc-
tion. No dismissals will this time punish the muti-
neers in the camp. In private the radicals will be told
that the majority of the ministry are for the ballot, and
mysterious hints will be thrown out about opposition
from " a crotchetty being" whom they hope soon to
get rid of; and thus will this ballot quagmire be once
more safely passed. "Household suffrage" and "non-
payment of tithes" will soon, under the auspices of

our present government, be elevated as open questions
to the dignity of the corn-laws and the ballot, and the
tender consciences of the maderlings of office will
be eased in the former as in the latter, by a ple-
nary dispensation to vote exactly as they individually
think proper,:without any fear of dismissal from a mi-
nistry which, as a ministry, denounces these questions
as ruinous and revolutionary. But no words can bet-
ter describe the character of such a line of policy than
those of Lord Brougham, in his last work, " States-
men in the Times of George III." They are to be
found at the end of his able portraiture of Lord North :
"We allude to the unworthy, the preposterous, the
shameful, the utterly disgracefol doctrine, of what are
called 'open questions.' Its infamy and audacity has
surely no parallel. Enough was it that the Catholic
emancipation should have been taken up in this fa-
shion, from a supposed necessity, and under the pres-
sure of fancied—nay, factitious difficulties. No one
till now ever had the assurance to put forward, as a ge-
neral principle, so profligate a rule of conduct ; amount-
ing, indeed, to this,—that when any set of politicians
find their avowed and recorded opinions inconsistent
with the holding by office, they may lay them aside,
and abdicate the duty of government while they retain
its emoluments and its powers." We have not space
for further extract, but we recommend the whole pas-
sage to the perusal and consideration of our readers.

IMPROVED SODA POWDERS

It has been observed, that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ;
and that from these inconveniences, its use has been confined
chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these
objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and effica-
cious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the
public.—Sold in boxes at ls. 6d. each.

CANADA.

Lord J. RUSSELL said, that with regard to the motion of
which the noble lord the member for North Lancashite had
given notice, it might be convenient to the house that he
should state that the course which he took upon the Canada
question depended upon the course which would be taken by
the noble lord ; and when that was explained, it would be
for the government to determine whether they thought it
necessary to press the question to a division. If the noble
lord could not agree to the principle of union between the
two provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, then he should
press the first resolution ; but if, on the other hand, the
noble lord did not think it advisable that the house should
pledge itself to a measure before it saw the details, then he
would withdraw the resolution, move for leave to bring in a
bill, and lay the bill on the table of the house.
Lord STANLEY had no objection to repeat the precise
terms of his motions, which were these :—that on Thursday
next he would take the sense of the house as to the expedi-
ency of pledging the house, by an abstract resolution, to the
principle of union between Upper and Lower Canada.—
(Hear, hear.)
Sir R. PEiti, said, that it seemed to him it would be advi-
sable to come to a distinct understanding upon the subject of
the motion given by his noble friend the member for North
Lancashire, and he could not but think it inconvenient that
the course to be pursued by her majesty's
iovernment was
to depend on the speech of the noble lord.— Hear, hear, and
a laugh.) If the noble lord intended to wit draw his reso-
lution, and to bring in a bill for the purpose of effecting a
union, he apprehended there -.‘ ould be no opposition to such
a course. _ _ _

Lord J. Russzm, thought that there would be great evil
in taking a division upon chi, cpiestion, which might be in-
terpreted in Canada as a division upon the principle of an
union, whereas it would only he a division upon the expe-
diency of proceeding by resolution or by bill. He should be
ready, therefore, to withdraw his resolution, and to bring in
a bill. (Hear, hear.)
Sir R. PEEL wished to know whether there had been any
change in the noble lord's intentions of legislating upon this
subject during the present session, or whether the bill would
be merely laid on the table of the house.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, that, after the very strong protest
against a union by the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada,
the government would certainly not feel justified in pressing
forward legislation upon the subject during this session.
(Ironical cries of " Hear, hear," and laughter.)

THE MAURITIUS.

Commercial advices have been received 'from the Mau-
ritius, to the 16th of March, confirming our previous state-
ments that the governor was about to issue a proclamation
announcing the final termination of the negro apprenticeship
in that colony.
It appears, as we have previously anticipated, that the go-
vernor issued his proclamation on the 11th of March, which
decreed that the apprenticeship system should terminate on
the last day of that month.
The publication of this important proclamation was also
attended by that of an order in council, dated Windsor, on
the sth of November, 1838, which provides for the regulation
of the contracts made between the landholders and the free
labourers they, may require on their properties, which appears
to be extended to the domestic connections or relations which
prevailed between all classes of employers and servants.
Sugar was rather more iu demand, at even an advance.—
The exports from the commencement of the year, to the 12th
of March amounted to 55,967,2261b5, Exchange on England
for government bills was 24 to 3 per cent., and freights 41.
per ton.—Herald.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY.
The Beer Act in part Repeal hill went through committee,
Ltd the report thereof was ordered to be received on Tues-
day-
Lord LYNDHURST presented petitions from cotton-spin-
ners of Glasgow, complaining of an evasion of the Factory
Act ; and especially of the representations in the report of
Mr. Stuart, one of the factory commissioners.
Lord STansoironn adverted to the notice given by Mr.
O'Connell for a bill to enable Roman Catholics to hold
offices in the spiritual courts, and to occupy the office of Lord
Chancellor of Ireland. The notice having been received by
a cheer front supporters of the government, he wished to
know whether the measure was introduced with the sanction
of government.
Lord MELBOURNE answered that it was not introduced
with the sanction of her Majesty's government.
Some curious conversation followed, in consequence of the
Marquis of Londonderry's denunciation of the language at-
tributed to Mr. O'Connell and Mr. H. Grattan, regarding
the insecurity of the Queen's life under certain circum-
stances.

The Marquis of NORMANBY presented papers regarding
Canada, the conduct of Colonel Prince, and the Mauritius.
His lordship remarked that the order in council regarding
slaves had been promulgated in the Mauritius.
Lord BROUGHAM observed on the melancholy fact, that
the slavery had been continued six months longer in the
Mauritius than in any other colony.
The Bishop of EXETER presented several petitions from
the clergy of his diocese, &c., against the Church Discipline
Bill. _

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY then moved that the
bill should be referred to a " select" committee, which was
agreed to, and the committee appointed, and ordered to meet
on Wednesday.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY.
NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP.
Dr. LUSHINGTON inquired whether the government had
received any notification of the abolition of negro apprentice-
ship in the Mauritius.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said the government had no knowledge
of the fact from official despatches ; but he had no doubt
that the order in council had been received by the governor
of the Mauritius, and had been acted upon, and that negro
apprenticeship had in consequence ceased since the 31st of
March, because he had seen a Mauritius newspaper in which
a statement to that effect appeared.

STOCKDALE V. HANSARD.
Lord HowicK brought up a special report from the com-
mittee of privileges to which had been referred the considera-
tion of the proceedings in the case of " Stockdale v. Han-
sard," which was read at the table by the clerk. The report
stated that the attorney-general had reported to the commit-
tee that notice had been that day given to the defendant of a
writ of inquiry having issued to assess the damages sustained
by the plaintiff in the action ; and that it appeared to the
committee, that, while it was expedient to enquire into the
circumstances under which the judgment was given, it was
not expedient that on the assessment of damages the defend-
ant should appear by counsel.

rpHE ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE, in one ele—
gant volume, small folio, comprising also " A COM-
PLETE CONCORDANCE of the OLD and NEW
TESTAMENTS," is strongly recommended as decidedly
most appropriate and best adapted as a present to a new
married couple ; as a token of remembrance to a distant
friend, or on birth days or other occasions ; as testified by
the following extracts from a considerable list of critical
notices :

Copy of a letter from the Rev. Dr. RAFF7r.
Edge-hill, Febru y, 1839.
" Gentlemen, —I am exceedingly obliged to ou for having
afforded me a sight of the elegant volumes you sent for my
inspection. Your edition of the Bible, kthe beauty of its
typography, and the taste displayed; in its decorations, is
certainly unique; and I trust that many will be induced to
make a book, so precious as to its contents, and so graceful
in its ornaments, the medium of expriessing their regard for
those relations and friends to whom they desire to present
some token of their esteem.

" I am, Gentlemen, yours very truly,
" THOMAS RAFFLES.

" Messrs. Fisher, Son, and Co., London.
" This is an age of wonders as it respects the efforts of the
Press. Never was the art of printing so well understood as
it is in the present day. ' The illustrated Family Bible' is a
striking proof of the truth of these remarks. As a specimen
of typography it will be regarded by the best judges as unri-
valled in taste and beauty ; and in economy to the public it
is no less remarkable. With pictorial illustrations, eminent
for their skill and adaptation, a Commentary long established
in the public confidence, and a Concordance written on a new
and improved principle, it is offered to families at an incon-
ceivably moderate sum. As a present to a newly-married
couple, just entering on the responsibilities of domestic life,
it may prove the means of extensive good to generations yet
unborn."—Evangelical Magazine, February, 1839.

lished in TWENTY PARTS, at 2s. 6d. large, or is. 6d.

THE BELGIAN QUESTION.

Viscount PALMERSTON laid on the table the treaties by
which was concluded the final settlement of the Belgian ques-
tion.—(Hear, hear.) The ratifications were only exchanged
on Saturday last, and he now laid the papers before the
house. He also laid on the table a post-office convention
between Great Britain and France, for the purpose of facili-
tating the transmission of letters between the two countries.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

Letters and newspapers to the 21st of January have been
received from Sydney via Van Diemen's Land, from which
it appears that although the agricultural, commercial, and fi-
nancial prosperity of the Australian colonies was greatly in-
creasing, their progress was yet retarded by the want of a
speedier and more certain communication between the dif-
ferent and remote parts of their extended coast-line--a defi-
ciency alone-to be supplied by steam navigation.
In the present state of those colonies it was felt that go-
vernment alone could adequately effect this great object,
which, by facilitating the communications from port to port
by means of powerful and efficient vessels, for the transit of
passengers, goods, live stock, grain, and other products,
would give an increased value to the Crown lands, and open
many districts for colonization at present almost inaccessible.
This is the course pursued by the Russian government in its
colonies.

• PORT PHILIP.—The Thomas Laurie, the first vessel that
had ever sailed from Port Philip to London direct, was to
depart in a few days. She had taken on board 400 bales of
wool, valued at £6,500. The intelligence conveyed by this
vessel of the wealthy resources and flourishing commerce of
this district will no sooner be spread than the advantages to
be reaped by interchange of trade will be eagerly seized by
the LICI chants of the metropolis of the world. It has been
stated by a merchant that sufficient wool has arrived at Mel-
bourne this season to have freighted seven ships of the same
tonnage, if they could have been procured.
SYDNEY.—The weather had been exceedingly hot for some
days, the thermometer ranging at 90 in the shade.
At this period a cargo of ice had arrived from America, and
excited no inconsiderable sensation.

Captain Collins, late of the 13th Light Dragoons, had re-
ceived authority, from the Madras government to ship annu-
ally from New South Wales a number.of horses sufficient to
remount the Madras Cavalry.
CAPTAIN STUART.—This gentleman, celebrated for his ex-
plorations, has been appointed Surveyor-Peneral for South
Australia.

BANK OF AUSTRALIA.—The Directors of the Bank of
Australia have ordered a dividend of eight per cent. for the
half-year, to be paid to the holders of their Bank Stock on
all capital paid up.
DEFENCES OF THE PORT OF SYDNEY.—Any reasonable-
sized armed vessel—even a pirate—might lay this town under
contribution. The banks and treasury might be pillaged at
any moment.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.
JPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
• particularly to call the attention of his Fr'i•nds and the
Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly-cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID-
LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet
discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style
of preparing PRIESTLEY'4 SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combines scientific skill with great accuracy,
and although numbers of people acquainted with the business,
and others, have of late years attempted imitations, they have
invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither pos-
sessing the agreeable flavour nor the medicinal properties of
the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in boxes 2s. each, containing twe ty-four powders, to
make one dozen tumbler glasses, and i tin cases 10s. each.
The latter are put up in a very eligible for& for exportation,

mates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIESTLEY, No.

SPRING.

(From the Cork Constitution.)

Oh ! where's dark Winter's sorrow fled—
His mourning robe—his sighs and tears ?
Is he, too, numbered with the dead—
Entomb'd with the departed years ?
Yes! Heav'n in mercy bath withdrawn
The shroud from Nature's lovely form ;
No longer may sad Winter frown,
Or speak in tempest and in storm.
His captives, that in anguish lay—
Flow'rets withering o'er the tomb—
With rapture greet the Spring-beams play,
With Nature share those hours of bloom.
Bright contrast to the night-watch lamp,
Of sunless gloom and sufrring's woe !
The Spring-like feeling what can damp?
'Tis the reviving spirit's glow.
The element of purest air
Brings health on its etherial wing ;
And Sorrow lays aside its care,
To smile again with lovely Spring.
To sip the dew from morning's flow'rs,
And bask at noon in each bright ray,
To muse at Eve, those calmer hours,
And praise kind heav'n for such a day.
The little warblers now regain
Their happy home, their budding tree,
And note to note responds a strain
Soft as Love's whisper'd melody.
Dear—oh ! how dear, the joys of Spring—
Those joys that knows not sin's control!
Creation's beauties touch one string—
'Tis GOD ! 'tis GOD within the soul.
HE speaks in ev'ry opening flow'r
That rises from its Wintry grave,
Sweetly reminds us of that hour
When ransom'd treasures earth shall leave.
Yes ! soul-fraught picture ! we shall rise
Upon redemption's balmy wing—
With kindred spirits in the skies,
Chant Heav'n's high joys—Eternal Spring.
