So much for the " frivolous objections " of the Bro-

a majority for his party, on the result of the registra-
tion, we shall not stop to inquire, until• he has made
his figures intelligible. It is sufficient for us that the
Conservatives have a clear majority of 126; and it
now only remains for us to congratulate BROTHERTON
—which we do most sincerely—on the certainty of
his being " relieved" from the pernicious effects of the
late hours and heated atmosphere of the House of
Commons. Does he not sigh for a general election ?

ANOTHER SUICIDE AT THE MONUMENT.

(From the Times of Saturday)
Yesterday afternoon, at a quarter past five o'clock, the in-
habitants of Fish-street-hill were again thrown into great
consternation in consequence of another suicide of a youth
from the top of the monument. About the above hour, a
boy ran to police constable Dogherty, 52, who was on duty
in Gracechurch-street, and informed him that a lad had
thrown himself off the monument. The officer instantly ran
to the spot, and found the body of the lad about twelve feet
outside the railing directly opposite the door at which visitors
,n4•n. Ar. a ;in invanvirina,,Sb nt ter. flts. Mill .be
subsequent inquiries of Jenkins, (the door keeper) it was as-
certained that the deceased went up about half past four
o'clock.

Although the back patt of the head was completely beaten
in, and both legs broken, the one at the socket of the thigh,
and the other about the middle, not a single feature of the
face was the least distorted.

Clarke, the officer of the London-bridge Wharf, states
that he has seen the deceased about the wharf for several
months past, that be seemed a very quiet and peaceable lad,
and that he (Clarke) had often conversed with him, but did
not know either his name or address.

The deceased was dressed in a snuff-coloured round jacket
with gilt buttons, brown checked Valentia vest, and black
trowsers, with course linen shirt, black silk stock with long
ends, and Blucher boots. He is supposed to be about 18 or
19 years of age.
The news of this melancholy occurrence quickly spread,
and in the course of a few minutes several hundred persons
had assembled round the spot, where the greatest exertions
were required on the part of the police to preserve order.
Up to half past 7 o'clock the name of the deceased had not
been discovered.

It is perfectly true that a large number of objections
were made by the Conservatives, and that the majority
of them were not sustained ; but they pursued this
course in self-defence. They were informed that their
opponents intended to " swamp" them; ergo, they
were determined to fire shot for shot. The lex talionis
has long been recognised and practiced in Salford, and
we do not see why the Conservatives should lose sight
of it when their opponents threaten them with annihi-
lation. if the Rev. JOSEPH BROTHERTON is the
honest and disinterested man he claims to be esteemed,
surely he will subscribe to the propriety of our re-
marks, even if he should foresee relief from the one-
rous and uncongenial duties of the senate, in the
practical application of them.
In the absence of his senior, the junior editor of the
Guardian has broken loose, and kicked up his heels at
the " Salford Tories." In one part of his paper on
Wednesday, there is a " result of the revision," con-
sisting of a strange admixture of prose and figures,
meaning anything but the truth; and in another we
are treated with a most elaborate and amusing essay
on " the spirit in which electioneering warfare is car-
rion on by Mr. Garnett's partizans."—Poor Mr. Gar-
nett ; how we pity you, that your supporters should
be so immoderately zealous in your cause as to provoke
the ire of the redoubtable personage who blows the
little trumpet of the Guardian, Oh, but our Whig
friend is really in earnest, for in order to prove that he
is telling the truth—occasio rara—we are introduced
to a list of Turners and Tinkers and Colliers, and
other sweet personages, on whom, it is alleged, frivo-
lous notices of objection were served by the Conser-
vatives. Well ; suppose those important people were
" put through their facings" by " tones," what then?
As we have already explained, it was only part of the
extensive game of tit for tat, with which both Whigs
and Conservatives have been amusing themselves in
Salford. We can also furnish " a few of the names"

LORD EBRINGTON AND THE RADICAL
PRESS.

(From the Dublin Evening Mail.)
For several months past Lord Ebringdon was at a
ruinr_is discount with the radical press. They durst
not denounce—and they would not commend—him.
But now our radical—aye, and our repeal brethren are
in a universal rapture of applause ! And for what ?
for any thing his excellency has done? No : but for
something he has said. And what was that ? Why,
truly, he said at Barnstable, that he had found Ireland
peaceable and tranquillized by the judicious adminis-
tration of his predecessor ! Now, that this was a very
foolish saying we are free to admit ; and that it is quite
untrue, we have taken (in our last) the liberty of prov-
ing. But if his excellency, however, persevere in that
discrepancy between his sayings and his doings (in re-
spect of the Normanby policy), which has hitherto cha-
racterised his Irish government, we see no great reason
for radical triumph on the one hand, or conservative
regret on the other. We have hitherto given our ho-
nest and sincere support to Lord Ebrington's adminis-
tration, on the fair and open ground that his practical
policy supplied an interpretation of his speculative pro-
fessions, at variance with the evil sense in which they
were understood by those who wished to find him
pledged to a factitious administration of the affairs of
Ireland. The sulky silence of the liberal press justified
us in the views taken. Such support as we have hi-
therto given him, we hope, notwithstanding his Barn-
stable manifesto, to be still enabled with justice to be-
stow.

But we must take the liberty of remonstrating against
that perversion of political truth, which gives in his
excellency's verbal adhesion to a course of policy to
which every action of his executive government gives
a practical denial. No two things can be more at va-
riance than the misrule of the late, and the constitu-
tional administration of the present, chief governor of
Ireland. Lord Ebrington declares his predecessor's
course to have been the perfection of wisdom ; but he
proves it to have been a course that, in his judgment,
were more safely praised than discreetly followed. It
is evident his excellency does not believe in his own
theories.

RESULT OF THE SALFORD BOROUGH
REVISION.
(From the Manchester Courier.)
As no cases of more than ordinary interest have
occurred during the revision of the lists of voters for
the borough of Salford, we have not thought it worth
while to occupy our columns with reports of party
differences that can only have the effect of creating and
perpetuating political animosity in a quarter where it
has too long prevailed. It is sufficient for us that the
revision has again resulted in an accession of strength
to the Conservative cause. The account, without
going into detail, stands thus :

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 18

Although the demand both for consumption and export, particu-
larly the latter, has continued steady, the market still wears a flat
appearance, and qualities of American below fair have been offered
on easier terms; Surat also is scarcely so saleable at previous rates,
but other descriptions are fully as high as last week. 2700 American
and 125 Surat have been taken for export, and 2000 American on
speculation. The sales of 70 Sea Island and 520 Stained to-day
went off steadily, at full prices, near the whole being sold.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCT. 19.
The arrivals of British Grain, at this port, for the past week, have
been very small, and the chief imports, from abroad, consist of
5175 barrels of Flour, all from the United States. Duties have been
paid upon 3310 qrs. of Wheat, 430 qrs. Barley, 930 qrs. of Oats;
and 160.1 barrels of Flour. Though the demand from the interior
counties has latterly been much diverted from this market, we have
continued to experience a good sale for old Wheat. The local
millers have been free buyers, and almost daily purchases have
been made for shipment coastwise and to Ireland. These sources
of vend, indeed, have not only been sufficient to keep prices of this
article steady, but to give them a tendency upwards. At yester-
day's market Id to 2d per bushel over Tuesday's rates was realized;
lOs 9d to 11s being paid for thesbest Baltic red, and 9s 6d to gs 10d
per 70bs. for Odessa soft. New Wheat has been difficult to quit :in
fact, the arrivals from Ireland have been, for the most part, of very
inferior quality and condition, ranging in price from 6s to 8s gd per
701 b. Foreign Flour has met a good demand at 38s to 42s per brl.
From the very scanty supply of new Oats, they have brought
rather better prices, best Irish, kiln dried, 3s I Id to 4s per 45!bs.
There are several lots of foreign old offering, which move slowly
at 3s gd to 4s 2d per 451bs. Our stocks of old Oatmeal are nearly
deal ed off. Few brought, to day, at Manchester, 36s 6d to 37s per
2401b5. Grinding Barley continues in modetate request at 5s 3d to
5s 9d per 601b5.; a little finer roundland new malting has brought
51s per quarter. Peas have been in demand at 438 to 455; and
Beans are held at 45s to 52s per imperial quarter. .

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 21.
The number of Beasts at market has been larger than any pre-
vious day this year, still the demand for good Beef was brisk at
Sid for second and inferior qualities ; the trade was rather dull,
and sales effected at a little lower prices, say 5d to sid, but con-
sidering the great supply, which exceeded 200 head, they were
mostly cleared off at the close of the market. Thy supply of Sheep
was smaller than last week, good Wethers readily sold at 7d, secodd
quality 63d, inferior and Ewes 6d.

HER MAJESTY'S APPROACHING NUPTIALS.

(From the Morning Herald.)
We give the following precisely as we received it, last night,
from an occasional correspondent :
WINDSOR SUNDAY EVENlNG.—Notwithstanding the
strong assertions which have been made to the coutrary, it is
not only currently rumoured here, but positively stated in
those circles which ought to be well-informed on the subject,
that at the privy council, which will be held at the castle to-
morrow, parliament will be prorogued to an early day before
Christmas, " then to sit for the despatch of business, when
the intended alliance of her Majesty with Prince Albert of
Saxe Coburg will be officially announced to the legislature.
It would be idle to speculate upon the probable time when
this event will take place ; although we may state it is ru-
moured that it will occur in the month of March, or early in
April next.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—We are glad to observe that the improvement in
the demand for balk goods which we noticed last week has
continued during the present, the principal purchases being
of course winter goods. The sales in the warehouses have been
correspondingly brisk ; but it is generally considered that the
business now doing is scarcely equal to the average run of
the market. The wool market is rather less firm, the recent
Liverpool wool sales have exhibited a tendency to a decline
in the price of that article.—Leeds Intellipencer.
BRADFORD MARKET.—Our market on Thursday was but
scantily attended by merchants and agents, and the business
transacted in manufactured goods was proportionately limited.
The yarn market was very inanimate, the dealings being very
limited. Several of the specimens have begun to run short
time. There was a fair demand for wools of middle and in-
ferior qualities, and as the supply was somewhat limited,
prices were fully maintained ; but in the higher qualities of
wool very little business was done.—lbid.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, OCT. 18. —We cannot
alter our report of the long wool market from that of last
week ; prices remain the same ; while anything that is offered
continues to be taken out freely. Blanket wools are without
alteration. Fine clothing sorts a shade lower.—lbid.
BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE.—Business here remains mo-
derately good; foreign orders continue to be received, which
finds profitable employment for the weaver. The home trade
is steady, with a fair demand.—lbid.
BURY.—There is little variation in trade in this town since
our last, generally speaking. The calico-printers yet seem
busy, some of them working almost night and day ; and in
the cotton-spinning and power-loom establishments there is
no variation since our last. The scarcity of money is, how-
ever, very generally complained of.—Manchester Courier.
DUNDEE TRADE.—We can state no alteration in trade
since our last. There are more inquiries after Osnaburgs,
Hessians, and some of our coarser fabrics, which are getting
scarce ; but our manufacturers complain that the prices
offered are not such as would yield a remunerating profit.
The favourable accounts from America which we noticed in
our last, and which are fully borne out by letters from other
agents to their correspondents here, encourage our merchants
to look for a revival of their intercourse with that country,
grounded on the abundant crops of cotton, grain, tobacco,
&c. for which the Americans are like to meet with a good
market in Europe.—Dundee Courier.

THE ARCHIMEDES STEAMER.

Another experimental trip was made by this vessel yester-
day, in presence of a number of distinguished naval officers
and engineers. On starting from London Bridge, which was
covered with spectators, the pool was much encumbered with
vessels, in navigating through which, at considerable speed,
the facility of steering was well demonstrated, and the ab-
sence of the paddle-boxes was evidently of much advantage,
as, in spite of all the usual bustle, no accidents occurred. On
getting clear of the pool the engines made 22 revolutions per
minute, and the speed of the vessel by the log was 71 knots,
which at Woolwich was increased to 81 knots, with the tide,
and the wind on the starboard quarter. This speed was
maintained to Greenbithe, when it was determined to try the
vessel under canvas as well as by steam. All the sails
were set, and after proceeding to Gravesend, where the British
Queen was met steaming up in all her majesty, the Archi-
medes turned and started for London, having the tide and
wind in her favour. The distance from Gravesend to 'Black-
well was accomplished in two hours, which would give a
speed of nearly 13 miles per hour.
This experiment, although made under the disadvantage of
new boilers, adapted to engines which evidently require con-
siderable alteration in many of the working parts, proved
satisfactorily, that the screw propeller, as it is now altered,
may be advantageously applied for river navigation, and in
some cases for war-steamers, where the protection afforded
by the depth at which the screw works in the water will be of
importance ; but the tremulous motion given to the vessel by
the centirifugal action of the propeller, and the rumbling
..;Re occasioued by the spur wheels upeessAry to get up the
speed are objectionable for vessels intended to carry passen-
gers. Considerable improvements may be made in these
points, and we recommend the inventor to turn his attention
to them, as without these changes his ingenious invention will
not be brought into notice as it deserves.
Among the numerous visitors on board we noticed Sir Ed-
ward Parry, Sir William Symonds, Col. Acklom ; Captains
Basil Hall, Austin, and Smith, R.N.; Messrs. D'Este, P.
Ewart, Miller, and Manby, C. E.: all of whom appeared to
pay minute attention to the action of the machinery.—Stan-
dard of Friday.

THE GLANBRANE ESTATE, IN WALES.

The principality, near to Llandovery, extending to 10,000
acres of land (several thousand are mountain land, it may be
observed), has been in the market some time, in consequence
of a supposed defect in the title. Mr. Lewis Loyd, the emi-
nent London banker, bought it a few years since, and in con-
sequence of a misnomer only in the Christian name in the
marriage certificate, became dissatisfied with the soundness
of the title, and objected to complete, although the opinion
of Dr. Lushington, as to the validity of the marriage, and
Mr. Preston and Mr. Knight Bruce, as to the validity of the
title, were all favourable. However, it was a defect that re-
quired a tedious process of law to overcome, and the conse-
quence was, the great and rich banker was relieved from his
purchase. Mr. Gwynne, the proprietor, then sought the
assistance of Mr. George Robins, to find another purchaser.
Mr. Loyd, it should be observed, gave £85,000 without any
previous knowledge of a technical defect in title. Yesterday
this princely domain was sold by Mr. Robins to Mr. Cray-
shaw Bailey, the wealthy iron-master at Merthyr Tydvil, for
eighty thousand guineas, independently of timber, and with
all its supposed infirmities on its head. We are led to these
remarks because there is a diversity of opinion as to the pro-
gress of agricultural pursuits, and much argument has beeu
expended on both sides of the question, to illustrate the va-
ried opinions. One thing is happily demonstrated this sea-
son, viz., that land is rising in public estimation.
Capitalists have at length preferred the solid security of
terra firma to the visionary schemes that almost overwhelm
the country, remembering (it may be presumed) that all those
who realise their three per cent. at 91 or 92, and convert it
into land to pay 31 per cent. have this certain advantage in
perspective ;—first, they realise their stock at a very high and
unhealthy price, and whenever a war takes place, have not
only secured a profit of 20 per cent. (or, perhaps, 30), but
insure at least 30 per cent. increased revenue. It would be
exceedingly difficult to point out, amid the contesting claims
to speculation which the new light has discovered, anything
so cheering as a sound investment in land. " Facts are stub-
born things," and we will illustrate the argument by one or
two apt conclusions. The Nunnington estate, in Yorkshire,
belonging to Sir Belingham Graham, Bart., has just changed
hands, through the instrumentality of Mr. Robins. The
rental was £4300 a-year, and he sold it for £150,000 guineas.
An estate within a few miles of Canterbury, although away
from the high-road, was sold the other day by Mr. Robins
for 33 years' purchase ; and to this list many more might be
added, within his single professional labours. It is said that
the applications to his office alone for landed investments,
would just now require a million of money to accomplish the
whole.—Sun of Friday. •

at the lowest rate consistent with safety.

so as to meet the views of all classes of Assurers by an as-
cending scale, or by a scale of limited payments where the
premiums are exhausted within a certain period.
3. Advances are made by the Company on Redeemable
Annuity, or otherwise in connection with Assurances.

An appeal is now made to the Ladies of Liverpool and its
Vicinity, in behalf of this Church. They are earnestly and
respectfully solicited to contribute useful and ornamental ar-
ticles, which if forwarded to Mrs. CRAWFORD, Berkeley-
street ; Mrs. STOKES, Everton ; Mrs. LEATHER, Upper Par-
liament-street; or to Miss SIMMONS, Duke-street, Secre-
tary to the Ladies' Committee, will be thankfully received
and acknowledged. When it is considered that this large
and beautiful Church is now in progress of erection, whereby
comfortable and convenient accomodation will be afforded to
the wealthier portion of the community—that the same ad-
vantages will be extended to tha middling classes, and at a
moderate expense,—that Four Hundred Stttings will be ap-
propriated to our poorer brethren ; and that the blessings of a
solid and Scriptural Education, through the medium of Sun-
day, Daily, and Infant Schools will, with God's assistance, be
placed within the reach of not less than One Thousand Chil-
dren, the Committee do hope that this Appeal will not be made
in vain, but, that all who are indeed friends to the church of
our fathers, to the pure, chaste, and Scriptural system of re-
ligious worship and instruction which she maintains, will, by
their presence on this occasion, or as opportunity may serve,
promote a work which must be deeply interesting to Chris-
tians generally.
As it is intended to have Refreshments in one room, Con-
fectiondry, Fruits, and Flowers, will be accepted with many
thanks.

The BAZAAR will be open each day from 10 a.m.,
to 5 p.m.
Admission first day, 2s. 6d. ; second and third days, ls.

N.B.—lt was originally intended-that this Bazaar should
take place in the month of October, but several circumstan-
ces have conspired to induce the Committee to alter their
determination.

Wednesday, the 13th day of November next, at twelve
o'clock at noon, at the Clarendon-rooms, South John-

street,
SEVERAL Parcels of Valuable ND, some on the east
k-.) side of Vauxhall-road, and ol LAiers fronting streets run-
ning from thence into Scotland-road, and which it is intended
to offer for sale in sixteen lots, all of different dimensions.
Also, several Parcels on the north and south sides of a new
street, extending from the Iron Brigde over the Canal, into
Great Howard-street, and which will be divided into seven
lots, two of which (of large dimensions) are on the west side
of the Canal, and adjoin the Banks. _ _

This Lana is Freehold of Inheritance, and Part of the

The Lots into which it is intended to divide this Land are
much varied since it was before offered for sale, and Plans

SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum
Mows. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility
at the following Paris charges :
A single Artificial T00th....
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.
