At a meeting of the passengers of the steamer Liverpool,
held on board, on' the 25th instant, on motion, Mr. Living-
ston, of Somerset, England, was appointed chairman, and Mr.
Irving, of New York, was appointed secretary.
On the motion of Mr. Duer, of New York, seconded by
Mr. Struthers, of Philadelphia, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
Resolved,—That the conduct of Captain Fayrer during the
present voyage, both as an officer hnd a gentleman, merit our
highest approbation, and has given him a just claim to the
gratitude and thanks of all the passengers.
Resolved,—That the excellence of the Liverpool as a
steamer, the comfort of her accommodations, the abundance
and quality of her fare, the attention and civility of the
steward and attendants, as well as the superior skill and gen-
tlemanly deportment of the captain and officers, entitle that
vessel, in an eminent degree, to the patronage of the public.
Resolved,—That a copy of these resolutions, signed by the
chairman and secretary, be presented to Captain Fayrer, and
another similar copy to the owners of the Liverpool.
ALEX. LIVINGSTON, Chairman.

earliest opportunity of expressing to you our grateful acknow-
ledgements for your courtesy, kindness, and General atten-
tion during the passage.

which to admire most, your skill as'a navigator, or your ur-

of the deck and the comforts of the cabin.
We solicit your acceptance of the accompanying service of
plate, in testimony of our indelible feelings towards you, and
respectfully take our leave; with every sentiment of esteem
and good wishes, dear sir, yours, very sincererely,

RUMOURED FRACAS BETWEEN THE 46TH AND 82ND
REGIMENTS.—A very melancholy account has reached this
city of a quarrel between the 46th and 82nd regiments, now
quartered in Gibraltar. It ended in a regular fight, in which,
it is said, Lieut.-Colonel Campbell, of the 46th, was killed.—

are a little higher, and Egyptians have advanced id to Id l' Ito.
Speculators have taken this week 3500 American, 200 Brazil, 400

CORN LAWS.

Lord BROUGHAM said, i 3 had to present petitions from
certain unhappy persons, who either were or ought to be con-
fined in lunatic asylums in different parts of the island,
because, according to what the noble viscount near him
(Melbourne) had laid down the other night, those who were
in favour of a repeal of the corn laws must, of course, needs
be in a fit condition for confinement in such places. Ac-
cordingly the inhabitants of Great Torrington, and other
lunatics, had signed the petition he held in his hand, and
prayed for a total repeal of all restrictions. The next peti-
tion which he had was from the inhabitants of Great and
Little Woolton, and Childwall, in Lancashire, who only
prayed that a strict inquiry might be instituted on this sub-
ject, and who, therefore, were only verging on a condition
to call for confinement in a lunatic asylum. (Laughter.)
Viscount MELBOURNE said, that his observation was ap-
plied to those who stated that there should be an immediate
repeal, not only of all duties on corn, but also of all other
prohibitive and protective duties at once, without further
consideration.

A HEROIC EPISTLE

FROM THE MARQUIS OF L-SD-NE TO LORD JOHN R--SS--LL
ON THE PRESENT AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF NATIONAL
EDUCATION.

Arise, my Lord John, quit all meaner themes,
The games of courtiers, and the sports of Queens.
Let Erin's wrongs no more provoke thy scorn,
Abjure the ballot, and forsake the corn ;
Give all thy genius to the infant nation,
And let thy soul explode in education.
Guide of my youth, companion of my sire,
May all thy changeful schemes my breast inspire!
Priestley ! grammarian, chemist, bard, divine,
Teach me each settled truth to undermine,
Shake every church, demolish every creed,
Reject each fact, dissent where all agreed ;
Still let thy genius o'er my labours wave,
And Horsley's ghost shall quiver in his grave.
See where they come, each bishop's throne they shake
Cathedrals totter, deans and chapters quake—
Each mother hears her babe, with sweet surprise,
Lisping in heresy, and prattling lies ;
From bench to bench the soft confusion runs,
And Babel's jargon titters on their tongues.
Knights of the black rod ! erst an injured throng,
Cease, cease your woes, and listen to my song ;
Ye normal teachers, speed the glorious day
When priests and bigots shall confess your sway ;
When catechists no more shall bind the soul,
And all belief shall range without control ;
Thus shall " persuasions" storm each stubborn church,
And all shall own the charms of normal birch ;
Then, worse than Pharaoh's plagues, each chapter seize.
Frogs, lice, and chilblains, what were ye to these ?
Yes, we shall floor each Tory institution,
Come, babes and ushers, work a revolution !

STATIONERY FOR EXPORTATION.

CHARTIST BRAVERY.—On Thursday last, at a chartist
meeting held in the Bazaar, Glasgow, Bailie Craig, of Kil-
marnock, gave the following advice as to the tactics which
the chartists ought to pursue, in the event of their coining
into contact with the military :—" In such a case," said the
gallant Bailie, " put the women in the front rank, and then
the military will not dare to fire !" This manly proposal was
loudly cheered by the assembled chartists.—Scotsman.

GLUTTONY.—A few days ago, a young man residing in
the neighbourhood of Pike's-lane, who has long had the cele-
brity of being an epicure, and remarkably partial to fish, pro-
mised a few friends, in discussing their appetites, that he
would eat the largest fluke they could procure, and they might
send for him at any time. In a night or two afterwards, a
fluke was found which weighed 8/lbs., and being put in culi-
nary process, the gentleman was sent for, who seated him-
self, and immediately, to the astonishment of all (especially
mine host at the " Prince,") all vanished, and scarce the
shadow of a wreck was left behind. Having finished his
repast, he said, " dang it chaps, .you should ha'sent for me
sooner, 'cause I'd but just been eating some eggs and bacon
o my supper!"—Bolton Chronicle,

THE MOUNTAINEER.
DEDICATED TO THE SCOTTISH NATION

BY ROBERT 8188, WiIARFDALE POET.

Young Harry was as brave a lad,
As e'er in the Scottish garb was clad ;
And often—when a boy at home
Amidst his native woods would roam,
With fearless heart would climb the rock,
Or dare the tempest's mighty shock—
In search of mountain deer.
And Isabel, a beauteous girl !
With neck o'erhung by many a curl :
Had when in childhood's happy stage,
Been rescued from the torrent's rage,
By his bold arm had been preserv'd,
When other forms—with fear unnerv'd,
Had watch'd her midst the waves !
And nobly she repaid that youth,
By kindness, constancy, and truth!
Her gentle heart amidst the storm,
Would cling around his manly form,
And though the lightning's vivid spark,
Might hover round their fragile bark—
Yet hope was on her brow !
Oh! she was beautiful and bright—
The bud of promise and delight !
Her spotless mind by virtue bent,
Seem 'd in her mountain cot content :
She sigh'd not for a distant strand,
But lov'd her own dear native land,
Her Harry, and her God.
But soon these halcyon days were past,
And cruel wars commenced at last :
The sons of Scotland, bold and brave!
With gallant hearts advance to save
Their home, their country, and their fame,
And strike the tyrant's power with shame,
Who dare invade their land!
Young Harry sought his Isabel,
To hid a long—a last farewell !
They meet—they part—it reeks not how—
Unruffled is that youthful brow ;
And she, like Scotia's daughters free,
Lives but for love and liberty,
With maiden's fondest zeal !
The banners flutter—hark ! the cry
Of " Forward ! " echoes to the sky !
The flower of Scotland leads the band,
Their gallant Chieftain waves his hand ;
He gazes on that beauteous maid,
Then draws his trusty Highland blade
To strike in Freedom's cause !
They meet—'tis on the battle field,
But sons of Scotland never yield !
Their hearts are brave—their sinews strong—
They charge—they charge—the patriot song
Of Victory" thunders from the plain—
Napoleon's host is rent in twain,
The Thistle waves on high !
But where is he ? the brave, the good,
Poor Harry, weltering in his blood !
That lion heart with valour crown'd
Too premature a grave had found!
Without a tear, or sad farewell
To Scotland, home, or Isabel—
He fell at Waterloo !

THE IRISH GOVERNMENT.

Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to ask a question of the noble
lord relative to the notice he had given the other night, in
consequence of the motion that had been carried in another
place. It was. a matter of importance that the house should
know when it was intended to fix this motion for, and the
convenience of members would be consulted if the noble
lord would at once state the day that he proposed to bring it
forward.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that he wished to bring for-
ward his motion as soon after the recess as he conveniently
could, and have it discussed at as early a day as possible.
He had no objection to state, that he proposed to bring it
forward on Thursday, the 11th of April.

ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS SUSPENSION BILL.

The house resolved itself into committee. A number of
clauses were added to the bill. The house resumed, and the
report was ordered to be received on Tuesday.

THE NAVY.

Mr. T. Arrwoon, in a speech of some length, moved that
an humble address be presented to her majesty, praying that
she may be graciously pleased to adopt timely and efficient
measures for obtaining a due supply of able seamen for the
royal navy. The motion, not being seconded, fell to the
ground.
The house having gone into a committee of supply, the
navy estimates were proceeded with ; and, after many inci-
dental discussions on naval affairs, the votes were all agreed
to. In the course of these discussions,
Mr. C. WOOD said that he had stated a few evenings ago
that he believed a pension was vacant. On inquiry he found
that that was the case ; and that the board of admiralty had
met that morning, and had conferred it on Captain Napier.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.

It had become known to the sporting world for some time
past, that the Heaton Park races were to be " adjourned,"
or transferred to the course at Aintree, and " the coining
event had cast its shadow before it ;" and excited very con-
siderable interest, not only as regards the establishment of a
second annual Liverpool meeting ; but, as by the amalga-
mation of the " sporting influences" of the two great towns
of the county, giving promise of increasing patronage and
support to the future assemblages of " men and horse" for
the enjoyment of the legitimate pleasures of the turf. The
anticipations excited have not been disappointed, although
from causes which we shall define, the attendance, though
including a large proportion of the elite in the sporting and
fashionable circles, was not quite so numerous on the
" opening day" as generally anticipated.
In the first place, though the day turned out to be fine,
heavy rain had fallen during the F revious night, and the wea-
ther had for weeks been so showery and unsettled, that the
confidence of those, who, though addicted to the turf, do not
consider a good race sufficient atonement for a wet skin with
its discomforts, was not sufficiently established to induce them
to venture so far from home, notwithstanding the various in-
ducements of gig, car, cart and omnibus. In the second place,
these races, held for the first time, and known but by " name,"
can scarcely be said to have yet " a local habitation" amongst
us,—although, we trust, they will soon become " ours," in
the widest acceptation of the word. In the third place, the
Manchester gentry, who were expected to attend, did not
" come to the scratch," they, it appears, having chosen to
take high offence at the removal of the Heaton Park races
from their own locality. We concur with our contemporary
of yesterday, that we can manage these matters pretty well
without them ; and though it may sound a little harshly in
their ears, we are bound (like him) to state that the causz.,
of the removal of these races is entirely attributable to them-
selves. They, in fact, fell out with their bread and butter.
They enjoyed the sport, dispensed under the auspices of a
distinguished and liberal nobleman, but they shabbily refused
to pay the piper, though the requirement was exceedingly
moderate. In other words they did not meet their en-
gagements. As stated by our contemporary—" the town
of Manchester promised to raise £3OO, and the town of
Bolton £5O towards the expenses of the last (Heaton)
meeting ; but in neither case was the money forthcom-
ing. The Earl of Wilton had to pay for the cup out of his
own pocket; the Earl 'of Chesterfield is minus £lOO for
stakes, Mr. Haseltine £5O, and others want the payment of
smaller sums." Ashamed of having thus dishonoured their
sporting bills, our course, and Grand Stand were enli-
vened by comparatively a few of the countenances of our
Manchester neighbours.

THE COURSE.

On arriving at the southern extremity of the race-course—
which is suddenly seen from an elevation in the Ormskirk
road—the spectator is immediately struck with the beauti-
ful appearance of the ground, the stand, and the surrounding
scenery, all admirably adapted to enhance the pleasures of
the visitant. As the Liverpool races are annually becoming
more and more interesting, it may not here be out of place
to furnish some account of the ground, which was never in
more beautiful order than on Wednesday ; the grass being
unusually thick and verdant after the late rains, and the
brightness of the day affording a clear and minute view of the
country around it.
The course is of an oval form, lying from north to south.
It is as smooth as a bowling green, and in every respect cal-
culated to prove the stamina of the noble animals destined to
run upon it, apart from the undue practice of jockeyship.
When the horses have passed the north turn, the ground all
the way to the winning post, where comes " the tug of war,"
(a distance of half a mile) is perfectly straight, and on a gen-
tle rise, so that nothing but genuine muscle or " bottom"
can achieve the triumph. The whole is handsomely railed
in, and near the winning post on the west side, the fence is
fitted in with upright iron rods for the more effectually ex-
cluding the anxious multitude from taking dangerous posi-
tions within the rails. There is an outer or training course
all round, by the use of which the main course is left undis-
turbed, and in prime order for the grand contests. The area
within the course comprises 23 acres of meadow land. The
inner course contains 3a. Op. 38p., the outer one five acres.
The space occupied by the Grand Stand and the other Stands,
with the ground immediately around them is about seven
acres, and the whole inclosure, including the space land all
round the outer course, comprises 54a. Ir. 34p. There is, also
a central course for training, plowed round within the inner
rails. The Leeds and Liverpool canal runs close to the north
end of the course : the Ormskirk road bounds a portion of
the ground on the southwest, and the Walton and Prescot
road on the east, so that a spot more appropriate from its ap-
proaches, its locality, and its proximity to the town, could
not have been selected. The whole is excellently drained.
The main entrance from the Ormskirk road is ornamented by
a handsome stone gateway. Close to it is the Sef on Arms,
a large and commodious inn. As the land is at this point
considerably elevated, the visiter immediately on entering the
gate obtains a charming view of the whole course, and the
moving multitude in front of the Stands, a short distance to
the northward.
The stabling, at the south end of the ground, is spacious,
being calculated to accommodate, with " all appliances,"
upwards of fifty horses.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1839-09-27

respectable citizens have had it ; some have died. Every one
that can leave is preparing to do so.
" Another letter, dated 27th, referring to the disease,
which the writer terms Yellow Fever," says : None have
recoverecl who have been taken, and many die, in from 3 to
5 days. Softie of our oblegt residents, even of 20 years
standing, have fallen victims to the fell destroyer. Young
and old, strangers or residents—all are subject to this de-
vastating calamity.
" Several are now at the point of death, and two of our
most eminent physicians are at this moment in a very critical
state. Several heads of families, male and female, have
already fallen victims to the disease. You can form no con-
ception as to the alarm and excitement existing among.the
community. Country people who have visited the city, un-
aware of the sickness, immediately flee from us in a panic.
" Our city is likely to be deserted, should the disease con-
tinue, as the inhabitants are leaving by hundreds. The
medical men here have not acknowledged it to be the Yellow
Fever—but one Physician, from New Orleans, who, of course,
has had considerable experience, unhesitatingly pronounces
that it is so. The sickness is chiefly confined to the lower
portion of the town."

Several very severe gales of wind had been experi-
enced at the latter end of August, on the shores of the
State of New York. The shipping, in the open havens,
had been greatly damaged.

Yesterday the election of solicitor to the Dock Trust
took place. It was confidently expected by the liberal
party that Mr. Snowball would have been elected;
but on a scrutiny of the voters it appeared that Mr.
Worthington obtained the appointmept.

Yesterday was a day of triumph to the Radicals in
the Dock Office. There was a majority of nine to six
in favour of the erecting warehouses on the Dock
Quays. We can scarcely persuade ourselves that a
single Conservative can have voted for so destructive a
measure. The vote of the committee yesterday will re-
quire confirmation at the monthly meeting of the coun-
cil to be held on Wednesday next. We shall watch
the proceedings at the next council meeting, and shall
be prepared to offer our opinions on any discussion
which may ensue on the subject.

(Prom the Bombay Times)
BOMBAY, MARCH 9.—The following abstract of a native
letter, just received in Bombay, has been supplied us :
" By accounts received from Candahar in 37 days, it is
stated that Kaniran has arranged every thing with the British
government, and given up Htrat to their entire management,
receiving, in return, a large monthly pen: ion. It is said that
fiur Englishmen, one of whom is l'ottinger Sahib, have taken
charge of every thing. A vakeel had been sent to Hyderabad
by Dost Mahomed to the Am zers, .accusing them of cowar-
dice for having basely delivered up their country, and. direct-
ing them to tell the British to come for ward as fast as possible,
as he was ready to meet and light then.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

On Tuesday despatches, of which the following are extracts,
were received from Colonel Gawler, the Governor and Resi-
dent Commissioner of South Astralia :

" The population, trade, commerce, and sales of land, are
much beyond, what was anticipated in 'England ; and the
work for public servants is increased in the same proportion.
I am assured that the population of Adelaide and its neigh-
bourhood is between 4000 and 5000. In the course of the
last three months nearly 10,000 acres have been sold in the
colony. Cattle stations are extended to a distance of 35
miles eastward from Adelaide, and the coasting trade with
the eastern Australian colonies is very active.
" The colony itself is meat promising. I have great confi-
dence that a proportionably Large revenue may be raised from
it, and that in many things public expenditure may ho re-
duced. Care and exertion shall not be spared, on my part,
to accomplish these objects. *
" The capabilities and advantages of the colony come up
to my expectations. Most extensive districts of the richest
soil extend to the northward, eastward, and in large valleys
to the southward of Adelaie. Port Adelaide is a secure and
commodious harbour for sl.:ps of 400 tons, and these are
large enough for every commercial pureoso. Naval men
agree that, to render it unobjectionable fc,-• eis of that
burden, nothing is required but a steam-tl.:
" The climate and country arc iiaautifai, re-
sembling an English park. The trees beel,tif :-rouped,
very large, and free from brushwood. \. ral and
judicious management, the colony must, bless-
ing, prosper as none other hal ever prospei%.Tl it.
I have the honour to be, Sir, &c.,
