LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 16.
The arrivals up to and since Friday, furnish a very large supply of
Foreign Wheat, with a few parcels of English and Irish, and a fair
quantity of other kinds of Grain from various sources, except Oats ;
with these, however, some vessels are in this morning from the West
of Ireland, and several more with Wheat from the Baltic, particu-
lars of which are not yet ascertained.
Although our Corn Exchange to-day was again rather thinly at-
tended by distant buyers, some parcels of Wheat were sold for coun-
try account, and the town millers reappearing as purchasers,
business to a moderate extent was done in the general runs of
Mediterranean samples at a decline of 3d per 701 b ; whilst of good
English and Irish, which are comparatively scarce, and held at
former prices, few sales were made ; and in the value of prime Bal-
tic Vtlh.ta. ¢o h.v. 'atto rhancr. to note.—Flour of all curt., -tinned to meet a dull sale, and must De deemed a turn cheaper.
Barley and Malt in the face of tolerable supplies, fully maintained
our last quotations.—Beans and Pease remained in slow request at
late request.
Oats, with the exception of some parcels taken by one or two
buyers, moved off sparingly at the rates of this day week.—Oatmeal,
though in rather better demand, was 6d per 2401 b lower.
Duties have been paid here this week upon 20,348 qrs. of Wheat,
11 qrs. Barley, 143 qrs Beans, 1 qr Pease and 7415 cwt Flour, Foreign
produce. .

The Foreign exports of the week comprise 752 qrs Oats, 2 qrs

the West Indies.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 38.
The Cotton market still continues very quiet, notwithstanding
prices of American descriptions remain steady, and holders have
apparently little inclination to press sales; in Brazils little doing,
and prices are rather lower. The sales on Tuesday were 1,000
bales, on Wednesday 2,000 bales, and to-day only about 1,200 hales.
The arrivals since Friday last are rather large, namely 5 vessels
from New York, 3 from Charleston, 3 from Savannah, 10 from New
Orleans, 4 from Mobile, 1 from Natchez, and 2 from Apalachicola.

RIVERS, AND NATIONAL TURNPIKE ROADS,

There is a direct communication by steam to
NEW YORK, ORLEANS, PITTSBURGH, RICH-
MOND, BALTIMORE, AND WASHINGTON.

THE VAST RAILROAD'S, HAVE COMMENCED
under the sanction of Government, who have contributed

FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
towards their completion. They are now fast approaching
maturity, and run through a large portion of this elegible
property. - - -

The lands are in.Cabell and Kanawha counties. They are
fertile almost beyond belief, the soil adapted to the pro-
duction of every thing that is useful and necessary for city
consumption—viz., Barley, Wheat, (averaging 30 bushels per
acre), Rye, Oats, Cotton, Potatoes, Maize (averaging 60 to
100 bushels per acre), Turnips, Hay (crops two tons per acre),
Hemp, Tobacco, Fruit, and Vegetables, in the greatest pro-
fusion and perfection. They are alsoculiarly adapted for
RAISING OF CATTLE
of all kinds, and three years absolutely
DOUBLE TRIER NUMBER.

Industry and a little capital, therefore, are alone wanting to
render this one of the
FAIREST AGRICULTURAL PORTIONS OF THE

GLOBE,

in a climate, it must be remembered, remarkable for its
salubrity and invigorating Powers, and the Country, in point
of Health, unsurpassed ; besides which, it may be called
THE LAND OF PROMISE,
from its extraordinary and inexhaustible discoveries and na-
tural productions.
FOR THIS CHARMING COUNTRY

is not only rich in beautiful and picturesque scenery, but
abounds in objects interesting to the Naturalist and Anti-
quarian, inasmuch as the mineral and fossil wealth is no-
where to be equalled, and iron, stone, coal, lead, limestone,
&c., are found in every part in the greatest abundance ; and,
what is now of first-rate importance to the emigrant, in point
of profit or revenue, most valuable and continuous Salt
Springs are to be found on every Acre of the Estate. From
the minerals on this property a fruitful source of commercial
enterprise may be contemplated. It should be observed that
religious worship is unshackled, and there is

A TOTAL ABSENCE OF TAXES, ALSO
VAST TRACTS OF VALUABLE TIMBER,
consisting of enormous oak, maple, poplar, and other trees,
which add in a large degree to the already large profit, being
n great demand for ship-building, steam-boats, and exporta-
tion.

It may, therefore, be stated, in great confidence, that this
sale will secure to those of

VERY LIMITED MEANS WEALTH WITHOUT
RISK ;
. .

possessing only the essential requfsites of industry and talent.
A farmer having saved even from £2OO to £3OO from the
wreck of his fortune will find at this sale an opportunity to
realise all his bright and early anticipation. It is not a specu-
lation founded on theory, experience has demonstrated that
it is a moral certainty, and, consequently, a mechanic pos-
sessing £2OO or upwards, may confidently appear at this
auspicious sale.
One single fact will convince the sceptic that the United
States are sought as a resting place of nearly all emigrants :
during one month no fewer than

LIVERPOOL SCOTTISH CHURCH PETITION.

The following answer has been received from our able and
indefatigable representative, Lord Sandon, by the Rev. Dr.
Ralph, who was requested to transmit the petition referred
to in it, and formerly given in our pages, for presentation by
him in the House of Commons :

"June 20, 1839.
"My dear Sir,—l have had the honour of presenting the pe-
tion of the members of the church of Scotland resident in and
near Liverpool, against the government scheme of education ;
and have had peculiar pleasure in thus conveying to the house
the sentiments of men peculiarly entitled to be heard upon
this subject—whether for their own individual character and
station, or from the experience which they hive had in their
own country of the intellectal, moral, and religious advantages
to be derived from a connexion between the national religion
and the education of the nation.—l am, dear sir, your faithful
servant,
" The Rev. Dr. Ralph."

REGISTRATION OF FREEMEN.—Those freemen whose
names are on the present register, but whose residence is not
properly described, should, before the Ist of July, give a no-
tice in writing to the Town Clerk, stating their names and
actual places of abode, and the number on the present register.
Freemen whose names are not registered, should also send
them in before the time mentioned, or they will deprive them-
selves of their vote for twelve months at least. It is of the
first importance that these suggestions should be attended to

We have to report the continuance of very trifling supplies of

abundantly supplied from granary. At yesterday's market a few
parcels of Wheat were taken by dealers from the interior, and pur-
chases have also been made for shipment to Scotland and to Ire-
land. Still there has been less activity in the trade generally than
during the previous week, and the advance of id to 2d per bushel,
demand on Tuesday, has not been maintained. In Flour there has
only been a moderate business, at about previous rates. Oath and
Oatmeal have each met a limited demand, and any change in their
value is rather in favour of the buyers. Two or three small parcels
of grinding Barley have been bought for shipment at 4s led to
5s 3d per 601bs. Beans and Pease as last noted.

THE ORPHAN'S PRAYER.

(For the Liverpool Standard.)
Creator ! Saviour ! Lord of all!
0 ! hear me whilst on Thee I call,
Nor turn Thy face from me ;
But hearken to my humble pray'r—
Assuage my grief—remove my care—
Silence the murmurings of despair—
And fis my eye on Thee
I ask not wealth—l wish not fame,
To blason forth my humble name,
And wreath my lowly brow !
The orphan's tear Thou (lost descry—
Thy kindness hears his gentl'st sigh--
Thy mercy list's his feebl'st cry ;
See, then, the orphan now !
Alas ! my father breathes no more !
His tongue now still—his troubles o'er—
He sleeps beneath:the sod !
I cannot now his lessons hear ' •
Yet, wherein have I cause to fear?
I find,if not my father, here—
I find—my father's God !
My mother ! Ah ! how sweet that voice !
How was I wont, once, to rejoice,
Whene'er I heard her call !
But gone, Alas ! No longer nigh—
Pleasure, no words of hers supply—
Reproof, she gives not with her eye—
Her Saviour is my all!
Jehovah ! bid my sorrows end !
My parents gone, be Thou my friend—
Watch with a tender eye ;
This darkness from my spirit chace—
" Lift up on me " Thine Heavenly face—
O ! guide me by the light of grace—
And raise me up on high !

A STORM AND A CALM.

(For the Liverpool Standard.)
The day is low'ring, stilly black
Sleeps the grim wave, while heaven's rack,
Dispers'd and wild, 'mid earth and sky,
Hangs like a shattered canopy !
There's not a cloud in that blue plain,
But tells of storms to come, or past :
Here, flying loosely, as the mane
Of a young war-horse in the blast ;
There, rolled in masses dark and swelling,
As proud to be the thunder's dwelling.
While some, already burst and riven,
Seem melting down the verge of heaven ;
As though the infant storm had rent
The mighty womb that gave him birth;
And, habing swept the firmament,
Was now in fierce career for earth.
How calm, how beautiful comes on
The stilly hour, when storms are gone !
When warring winds are died away,
And clouds. beneath the glancing ray,
Melt off, and leave the land and sea
Sleeping in bright tranquillity :
Fresh as if day again were born,
Again upon the lap of morn!
When the light blossoms, rudely torn,
And scatter'd at the whirlwind's will,
Filling it all with precious balm,
In gratitude for this sweet calm,
And every drop the thunder showers
Have left upon the grass and flowers
Sparkles, as 'twere that light'ning gem,
Whose liquid flame is born of them.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

FRIDAY.
BRUTALITY OF POLICE OFFICERS.
John Heron was placed before Mr. Rushton on a charge of
interference with the police in the performance of their duty.
It appeared from the evidence of the officers, 283 and 384,
that the wife of the prisoner and another woman had created
a disturbance in Lime-street about midnight on Thursday.'
The officers took the prisoner's wife into custody, and in the
act of doing so her husband, the prisoner, attempted to
rescue her. The poor fellow's ear was dreadfully cut, and
exhibited marks of severe punishment. His wife and a posse
of women were in attendance, who descanted warmly on the
brutality of the officers. Mr. Rushton asked if they had
any witnesses to produce in corroboration of their statement.
They mentioned several persons living in the neighbourhood,
and to give them an opportunity of appearing, the case was
adjourned for two hours. When it was called on again, a
respectable-looking tradesman presented himself in the wit-
ness box, and, on being sworn, stated that on the preceding
evening he was passing through Lime-street on his way
home, when his attention was attracted by the disturbance.
He saw the prisoner in the custody of the officers, who struck
him with their sticks, and abused him in the most shameful
manner. At length they took him away, and when they had
gone the witness found a piece of one of their sticks, which
he produced in court (it belonged to a heavy, formidable
weapon;) and this he saw them break over the prisoner. The
officers denied that they had used any unnecessary severity.
The prisoner, they said, was very refractory, and they could
not get him along. Mr. Rushton commented strongly on
the brutality of the officers. The greatest virtues in an officer
were forbearance and discretion. To use their sticks in the
manner described against a defenceless man was highly im-
proper. But the prisoner on his part had acted equally im-
properly by interfering with the officers in the proper dis-
charge of their duty. The prisoner was dismissed.
YESTERDAY.
DRUNKENNESS.
. _

A large portion of the time of the police magistrate was
yesterday taken up in investigating the cases of parties found
intoxicated and disorderly in the streets. The fine of 2s. 6d.,
and in more aggravated cases of ss, was inflicted in every• case.
and the number of parties thus mulcted was no fewer than
eighty-five. Yesterday week the number was seventy-five.
One of the men, Michael Quin, brought up yesterday, who
had been found rolling about the streets in a state of helpless
intoxication, a sum of no less than £26 was found upon him,
of the whole of which, but for the interference of the police
officers, he would, in all probability, have been robbed. Mr.
Rushton strongly admonished him, and fined him ss.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There has been no change in the state of
the market since Tuesday ; the demand for all descriptions
of goods and yarn continues extremely limited, and prices
drooping. The agreement of the spinners of Stalybridge,
Ashton-under-Lyne, Hyde, and the neighbourhood, to work
not exceeding four days per week, has been signed by upwards
of fifty-five firms. In addition to these, we are authorised
to state, that a meeting of the spinners and manufacturers
of Stockport and the neighbourhood was held on Thursday
last ; when the proprietors of all the largest mills in the
neighbourhood, to the extent of about 2,000 horses' power,
came to the same agreement as that of the spinners in the
neighbourhood of Ashton-under-Lyne, namely, to work their
mills not exceeding four days per week.--Manchester
Guardian.

LEEDS.—We have had a fair demand for balk cloths at
both the markets since our last, principally of the heavier
descriptions, suitable for the winter trade. In the lighter
kind of goods very little business has been done. The tran-
sactions in the warehouses are at present very limited, and
there is no immediate prospect of amendment.—Leeds Intel-
ligencer.

BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods at our mar-
ket on Thursday was unusually limited for the season, and
the prices of manufactured goods were any thing but firm ;
indeed, to effect sales a reduction was generally submitted to.
The yarn market was equally flat and very little change was
perceptible. The wool market was likewise dull, especially
for combing qualitie, and recent prices were hardly sus-
tained; but for clothing wool there was a small demand at
previous rates.—lbid.
HECKMONDWIRE.—There has been more business done in
the Blanket trade for the last few week, than for some time
past ; prices are not sufficently high, according to the price
of wool ; but, should the demand for goods increase in the
winter trade, (owing to the small stocks in the manufac-
turers hands,) prices must advance.—lbtd.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 20.—We have had a fair sup-
ply of Wool, and a numerous attendance of buyers. The
trade still rules dull, and we have had a heavy trade at prices
tending downwards. Super Super Hog, 16/d. to 17d. per
lb.; Super Hog, 16d. to 161 do. Hog and Ewe, 15d. ; Ewe,
13d. to 14d. Loczs, with Cots, 2d. to 10d. ; Do. without
do. 7d. to Bd.—lbid.
DEWSBURY.—The demand for Blankets at this market on
Monday was extremely limited, and previous prices were
scarcely maintained.—lbid.

Money is so scarce in New Orleans that when two dollars
meet, their owners are obliged to introduce them to each
other, they are strangers.—New York paper.
There are about forty petitions before the Connecticut le-
gislature, praying for bills of divorce in consequence of in-
temperance.

RIOTING IN ANCOATS-STREET.

A man named John Holmes was next placed at the bar,
charged with being the leader of a disturbance in Ancoats-
street. . _ _ _

Mr. Beswick stated, that about seven o'clock, he received
information that the inhabitants of Ancoats-street, (a low
neighbourhood, densely populated with Irish) were greatly
i alarmed by a mob of persons who were parading the town.
He immediately proceeded to the spot with a strong detach-
ment of the new police, supported by the military. When
he arrived there he found that about 1000 persons had con-
gregated, and had formed a procession, with banners, which
the prisoner headed with a flag, on which was inscribed,
" The earth is the right of man—he that does not work,
ought not to eat." The police captured the banners, and the
leader was taken into custody ; and the mob, after shewing
some slight resistance, was dispersed. This mob had been
proceeding to the different mills, and the prisoner, on being
taken into custody, said, " they had only turned the hands
out of five or six mills ! "

On the prisoner being asked what he had to say for him-
self, he replied that he had not been earning more than 5s
a-week since Christmas, and he had a wife and child to sup-
port. He was remanded.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 9.

The Cotton market opened with a considerable demand both from
the trade and exporters, aad prices of nearly all descriptions
advanced id to id. lb ; and although the inquiry for the last few
days has been rather less extensive from the trade, the sales con-
tinue large, and the market has closed at the above advance;
Surat remains in good request at former rates. Speculators have
taken 3000 American, 200 Surat, 1000 Egyptian, and Exporters 2300
American, 400 Pemambneo, 250 Surat and 430 Bengal.

ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1839-08-13

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 10.
The imports.of Grain, &c. coastwise and from Ireland, to our
market, are, this week, on as small a scale as we have had occasion
to report them during any part of the season, and are considerably
exceeded by the quantities re-shipped. Of foreign produce we
have received about 4,600 quarters of Wheat, 3,000 quarters of Oats,
600 quarters of Beans, and 850 quarters of Rye. The Wheat, of
course, goes under the Queen's locks ; but there have been realized
(from the Ist to the 7th instant, inclusive) about 4,600 quarters of
Oats, 550 quarters of Beans, and 400 quarters of Peas. Though the
weather has, at frequent intervals, been unsettled and unfavourable
towards the maturing of the coming crops, there has been less ac-
tivity in the demand for Wheat than during the previous week, and
the advance in prices, noted at its close, has not been sustained .
still, holders, generally, have not shown any desire to press sales.
At the same time a few parcels have changed hands on speculation
at about 2d per bushel below the rates quoted on Tuesday last. No
change in the value of Flour. Oats have met a free sale at previous
prices. Oatmeal in slow demand at 35s 6d to 37s per 2401b5. Grind-
ing Barley has continued in request at 4s 8d to 5s 3d per 601bs. No
alteration in the value of Beans or Peas, nor any but a retail vend
fer either.

STABBING A POLICEMAN.

A desperate ruffian, named Locklay, was charged with
stabbing a policeman. An inspector stated, that early that
morning assistance was called for in Little Lever-street,
where the prisoner was acting in a violent manner. Ile
knocked down a policeman, and on policeman Zackerley
going up to his assistance and attempting to secure the pri-
soner, he stabbed him in several parts of the body. Zacker-
ley then cried out, " Oh, my God, he has stabbed me twice."
He was then removed to the Infirmary, and his wounds were
dressed. Several policemen followed the prisoner, who suc-
ceeded in getting home before them, and locking his door.
The door was broken open, and after a desperate resistance,
he was secured, and upon search the dagger was found.
The instrument which was produced resembled a shoe-
maker's knife.

A surgeon from the Infirmary said, that the wounds in-
flicted were such as could be done with the knife, and had
not the ribs resisted the instrument, the most serious con-
sequences would have followed.

THURSDAY.

On THURSDAY next, the 15th instant, at Ten o'clock pre-
cisely, in Chaloner and Houghton's Bonded Yards,
1858 Logs and Curls, of which 942 Logs and Curls are City
St. Domingo, MAHOGANY,
864 Logs and Curls Cuba DITTO, V)
782 Ditto Honduras DI /
35 Ditto St. Domingo A je/Cl* WOOD,
373 Logs Havana CEDAR,
6055 Logs PENCIL CEDAR;
104 Pieces New South Wales CEDAR,
957 Planks Rio de Janeiro and Bahia ROSEWOOD,
62 Tons City St. Domingo LIGNUMVITIE,
450 LANCEWOOD SPARS.

The St. Domingo Mahogany comprises logs and curls of
the most approved dimensions and figure ; chiefly for tables
and veneers. The Cuba is for the most part of large size,
good colour, and roe, and from the best cutting districts of
the island. Two of the cargoes of Honduras Mahogany
comprise every variety of useful quality, and range from the
smallest size up to 10 tons weight in the log.
The Satin Wood is new, tolerably sound, with the best roe
and mottle in curl and log. Though some are 181 inches
deep, the logs are generally small in size.
The Havana Cedar is very fresh, sound, and well squared,
varying up to 281 inches, and averaging 16 inches in depth.
The Pencil Cedar averages .8 inches, and ranges up to 184
inches square, and although some of the parcels are of mid-
dling quality, others are of the best and largest description of
wood.

The Rosewood, in sawn and split planks, is fresh, and of
good quality and figure. The Rio averages 3c 23, and the
Bahia, 3c 1 3, each plank.
Of the Lignumvitte, 26 tons are mostly from 5 to 7 inches
diameter, and 36 from 5 to 9 inches. The whole, choice
City St. Domingo.
The central situation and mode of business of this market,
have established it in the estimation and preference of the
trade ; but, the above selections of the more esteemed ship-
pers—instance, 942 logs and curls City Wood, merit, in a
more marked degree than any sale heretofore,the attendance
of all parties interested in Mahogany and other Cabinet and
Machinery Woods.
Catalogues will be ready for distribution on the Monday
before the sale.—Apply to
CHALONER and HOUGHTON, Brokers.
