GRENADA.

In the House of Assembly of Grenada on the 23d Septem-
ber, the report of a joint committee of the Council and As-
sembly, appointed to devise the best means for the immigra-
tion of labourers into that colony, was brought up and is as
follows :--

" That it was the opinion of the Committee that the report
of the Joint Committee of the Council and Assembly on im-
migration be adopted as the report of the Committee, and
that a committee of both branches of the Legislature be ap-
pointed forthwith to bring in a bill for negociating and per-
fecting a loan of £lO,OOO stg., upon the most advantageous
terms possible to the colony, for the purpose of carrying into
effect the objects of the report of the Joint Committee of the
Council and Assembly, for obtaining an immediate increase
of agricultural labourers."
. It was also resolved, on the motion of Mr. Waddilove,
" That a committee of both branches of the Legislature he
appointed, to fix on locations or stations to obtain land for
provision grounds, and the erection of the necessary cottages
for the reception of the Maltese on their arrival in this colony,
and that such committee do, with the least possible delay,
report to the Legislature their proceedings, together with es-
timates of the probable expense of locating such immigrants,
in order that no time may be lost in finally fixing on such
stations and erecting such buildings.

Jewish Institution.

The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary
asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen
months' experience, it has amply answered the benevolent
intentions of the promoters.
While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he
may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren,
the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to
false or insincere professions. Much good is being done;
but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends come
forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu-
tion must be given up.

BONUS.

At the Annual General Court of Proprietors, held on the
20th June, 1839, bonuses were declared'to the assured in the
Fire Department of £lO per cent. on the Premiums received
during the five years previous to the 25th March, 1839, to be
paid on all insurances of two, or more, years standing : and
to the assured in the Life Department, on all policies for the
whole duration of life, of four, or more. years standing, on
the 25th March, 1839, of very nearly 26 per cent. on the
amount of the premiums received thereon, improved at com-
pound interest, to be added to the suns assured by such po-
licies when they-become claims, or an equivalent reduction
to be made in the annual premiums upon their, at the option
of the parties entitled thereto.

Trinitarian Bible Society.

The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to
publish faithful Protesta4 Ver.!!oux of the Holy Scriptures,
in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the
translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be
the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in.addition
to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em-
ploy an intelligent pious person, as an cgent, to visit the abodes
of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of
reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte-
rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by
weekly or monthly subscriptions.

Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly-cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the EID-
LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than avthing yet
discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany' The style
of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDER ' is peculiar to
himself, and combines scientific skill witl rest accuracy,
and although numbers of people acquainted ith 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 twenty-four powders, to
make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in tin cases 10s. each.
The latter are put up in a very eligible form for exportation,

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEc. 26.
There has been a fair business done to.day Without change in
prices—the sales are about 4000 bales of all kinds.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DEC. 24.
The imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, from Ireland, coast-
ways, and from foreign ports, have again been to a pretty fair ex-
tent, since Tuesday last, particularly of foreign Wheat from Lon-
don and other ports coastwayS, and with a very limited demand,
sales have been only to a moderate extent here, and in all country
markets, with little or no variation in prices during the past week.
The only alteration in the duties on Grain, from foreign I)orts,
since Friday last, is an increase on Oats, and a decrease on Nye of
Is 6d per quarter. Sonic large parcels of American Flour, in bond,
have changed hands at 31s per barrel, but it has been more difficult
to buy than to sell at this price—the holders of bonded Flour being
generally more confident: of Oats, in bond, some further sales
have been made for export at ss 1041 to 4s per 451 b.
At this day's market there was a very thin attendance, and sales
were effected to a very small amount of every article in the Corn
trade, of which purchases were made at a small decline, but not
such as to justify any decided variation in our prices of this day
week.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 2G.
Our Butter market appears just now in the curiously anomalous
situation of advancing and declining at the same time. Fine But-
ter bei so very scarce that they command very high rates, say
os to Os for Belfast, Kilkenny, &c. whilst middling and inferior
descriptions are so over-abundant that the same can be had at
almost any price. Some brands of Cork Pickled Butter at 80s; tip-
top marks are, however, still as good as " Gould," being steadily
held at 83s to 84S.—Beef and Pork only in limited demand.—The
same remark is applicable to Bacon, &c.

JAMAICA.

(From a Correspondent of the Times.)
I send you an authentic fact, calculated to show you the
real state of Jamaica, and that without some prompt and
vigorous proceeding on the part of the home government,
that most valuable of our sugar colonies is lost, and Mr.
Spring Rice must find some substitute for his £5,000,000 of
sugar duties. I will give one instance :
An estate netted in the year ending 1837.. • •• • 2000
Ditto
The negroes refusing to work, and the produce sent
home being reduced nearly one-half, the mer-
chant states it will be in 1839
(and worse ; the estate will be in debt, though
the annuitants are unpaid.)
And this upon an estate where the negroes were kindly
treated, and the proprietor was a friend to emancipation! ,
It is monstrous, that whilst, in many parishes in England,
able-bodied labourers cannot earn above 6s. a-week, in a
country where the vegetable food upon which the negro prin
cipally subsists can be had for scratching the ground, the
working man is to insist upon from 15s. to 20s. a-week for
his labour. The government of this country has heretofore
properly interfered to protect the slave : the tables are now
turned, and they ought to come forward to protect the pro-
prietor.
The grand experiment of gradual emancipation, prepara-
tory to free labour, was proceeding most favourably, beyond
the expectation of the most sanguine of its friends ; when, in
order that Lord Brougham might recover his waning popu-
larity, agitation upon the subject was set on foot, and with
such effect, that the Jamaica legislature was compelled,
against its own sense of expediency, from the known unfit-
ness of the apprentice, and the hiding-places in the .nnndy
intct tor of thp island. to _car,rv_opt..tidiApnaPltirtliiii
their own level, where one of the contracting parties is half-
civilized, that level will be the extinction of all civilization
and cultivation. A fair remuneration for labour should be
secured to the negro, but, for a few years to come, the rate
of labour should be fixed with justice to both parties by the
legislature, a vagrant act passed, to deal with the incorrigibly
idle and disorderly, and the stipendiary magistrates, while
retained at all, employed in enforcing its provisions. At pre-
sent, the continuance of those functionaries in office depends
upon their finding employment for themselves, which the
colonists think they will always, under such circumstances,
contrive to do, by fomenting discontents. Such suspicions
may be unfounded, but they are the necessary result of their
situation.

, 0000

If strong and independent courts of justice were esta-
blished (as was recommended by the West India commis-
sioners), and confidence inspired in the due administration
of the laws, these occasional and ever-mistrusted jurisdic-
tions would be far better dispensed with. The " locust sti-
pendiaries" are very obnoxious, as much so as the governor
at present.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 25.

The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been somewhat larger
than that of last week, and the quality generally pretty good. Al-
though the number has been large, we cannot note any material
alteration in prices, saving on a few of ordinary quality, which
were sold at a shade less. The number of Sheep has been consider-
ably smaller than the preceding week, but prices are much the same.
Beef may he quoted at from Sid to 7d ; Mutton from 6d to od,
varying in price according to quality. There have been a number
of Beasts left unsold, in consequence of the very high prices ; but
from the scanty supply of Sheep, all have been sold up. Number
of Cattle at market—Beasts 1081, Sheep 2866.

THE ENGLISH ANNUALS.

Beyond question, the character of the Annuals has dete-
riorat2d ; the fashion, we might say also the passion, for
them has gradually declined. In proportion as they became
unprofitable, exertions were relaxed ; and if we look through
any of the volumes published within the last five or six years,
we shall perceive only mediocre engravings from mediocre
paintings, while among the contributors to their literary con-
tents we shall now- find scarcely a man of eminence. Pub-
lishers who used to pay largely for the assistance of authors
and artists, have been compelled either to abandon the spe-
culations or dole out recompense very sparingly ; and their
value as literary works, or as works of art, have nearly, if
not altogether vanished. Yet they have undoubtedly been
useful as well as agreeable—profitable as well as pleasant— -
both to literature and to art ; and the sneers directed against
them, just at the commencement of their decline, were as
unmerited as they were unwise. Before their introduction
into England, the Christmas gift books were, as we have
stated, and our readers know, paltry pocket books . their
successors contained much to interest, and somewhat to in-
struct. The prints which used to' ornament the chimney
pieces of houses of the middle class, were tawdry coloured
daubs, prejudicial to taste' and very often injurious to mora-
lity : they were displaced by engravings after the choicest
works of our greatest British painters, executed in such a
manner as to cultivate the eye, and to give employment to
the mind ; and we are by no means to put out of sight the
fact that the popularity of the Annuals spread through vari-
ous channels a very large sum of money every year—such
sum being divided among persons whose occupations were
beneficial to the country. For some years, indeed, nearly
£lOO,OOO per annum were thus expended. We shall not be
wide of the mark it we assert that for several years 150,000
volumes were circulated. We made in the year 1829 a cal-
culation of the expenses incurred, and on now referring to it,
we have no reason to change our opinion of its accuracy : it
may interest or at least amuse the curious in such matters,
at the same time that it will sustain our argument as to the
benefit conferred by this class of works.—For 150,000 vo-
lumes (including the " guinea" books, of which there were
always two or three), the public paid about £90,000. This

TATTERSALL'S.-MON DAY.

The betting this afternoon, without being by any means
heavy, was far less dull than on the previous Thursday ; the
prices quoted below will show that it was not altogether with
out interest :—Brother to Euclid and the Angelica colt were
each backed at 16 to 1, the former freely ; and, as it appeared
to us, with a trifling call ' • 15 to 1, in fact, was taken about
him to a hundred pounds, but the average was as we have
stated; 17 to 1 was offered against Muley Ishmael, whose
friends were neither numerous nor sanguine ; a point more,
however, would have been taken. Launcelot (with backers)
and Warden were at 20 to 1 each, and Bokhara, at 24 to 1,
laid once or twice, but not offered afterwards; Ottoman was
backed several times at 33 to.l ; and the Velvet colt first at
35, and afterwards at, 40 to 1 ; the latter odds were laid
against Prince Albert to a hundred pounds. The Oaks were
noticed to some purpose : 8 to 1 was laid, and afterwai ds of-
fered repeatedly against Crucifix, and offers made to back
Currency against her until within an hour and a half of the
close, when 10 to 1 was laid against Currency, two or three
parties volunteering at the same time to take those odds
about the Stockbridge filly. Closing prices :

sentiment not breathing .the most devoved loyalty to my
Sovereign. If the Queen's name is, according 'to the liberal
doctrine, so identified with that of leer ministers that, in ex-
ercising the birthright of an Englishman, of censuring their
administration, I am supposed indirectly to reflect upon her
Majesty, the fault is not mine. I was at first disposed to
treat this contemptible attack as personal, and with entire in-
difference ; but as through me an attempt is made to impugn
the loyalty of the party with which I have the honour to act,
I have thought proper to give this public denial to your
assertion, and trust to your candour as a political opponent,
to give this letter a place in your paper.---I have the honour
to be your obedient servant,

INGESTRE."

Comment on this letter is unnecessary. It fixes still
more indelibly than ever the stigma of " deliberate
liars " upon the unprincipled ►ministerial hacks.

We have much pleasure in referring our readers to
ke advertisement respecting the Liverpool Collegiate
tstitution which this day appears in our columns.
7hilst the Prospectus holds out advantages to all

Trinitarian Protestant parents and their families, such
as none of our local institutions, at present, present,

he gentlemen whose names are to be found upon the
Provisional Committee and in the list of Donors, adhrd

the best guarantee which could be °tiered, that the
objects which it contemplates will be fully carried into

The Donations now amount to nearly £B,OOO,
but as at least £30,000 will be required for the pur-
poses of .the Institution, a large addition has yet to be
made. The liberality of the public, however, always
keeps pace with the claims which are made upon it,
when such claims are well founded ; and as no Institu-
tion ever bad stronger claims upon the public support,
more especially upon that of the friends of Scriptural
education than the one now presented to their notice,
we trust that they will rally round it in great numbers,
and mete out such an abundant measure of liberality
towards it, as will enable its philanthropic projectors to
carry their praiseworthy intentiohs into immediate exc=
cution, so as to secure to the town one of the greatest
blessings which can be conferred upon it, namely, that
of a sound Scriptural education for all ranks and
classes of the community, according to the doctrines
of the Established Church.

In another column we have furnished our readers
with a full report of the important proceedings at the
adjourned meeting 'of the magistrates for the county,
held on Wednesday last at -Preston. It will be seen

that Captain Woodford has obtained the lucrative and
responsible appointment of chief constable of the rural

police. For the maintainence of this force the county
is to be taxed to the tune of E 30,000 a year, or probably
much more, and an immediate county rate is to be
laid for the purpose of raising a temporary fund of
£15,000.

AN ENGLISHMAN'S WIFE.
(INSCRIBED TO QUEEN ADELAIDE.)

The merry bells ring, and the merry boys shout,
The matrons are gazing from window and door ;
For a blithe wedding train the old Church !lath pour'd ou
And the green lane is crowded behind and before.
A fair village maiden bath promised to-day -
To love and to cherish her chosen through life,
And she walks by his side in her bridal array,
- To be from this moment an Englishman's wife.

And 0 ! if he knows it, a treasure he gains,
To which all the gems of Golconda are dim,
A counsellor kind, who, in pleasures or pains,
Will think for his welfare—exist but for him !
His children to train " in the way they should go,"
To ward from his Dwelling the entrance of strife,
To soothe him in anger, to solace in woe—
Is the duty, the boast, of an Englishman's wife.

Scarce heeded the light of a long sunny day,
We love, when the sky is o'erclouded, to mark
A sun-burst on hill or in shaded vale play—
A type of her love when the atmosphere's dark !
Her smile, in success which unheeded may beam,
Will shine like that sun-burst when sorrows are rife.
Ay, pour round his death-bed itself a bright gleam !
For true to the last is. an Englishman's wife.

It is so in the cottage; and who can forget
How deeply 'twas'so in the PALACE of late,
When, by the sad couch of her dying lord set,
QUEEN ADELAIDE'S watchfulness sweetened his fate ?
Unwearied, and sleepless, her task to fulfil,
She sat and she soothed the last tremors of life ;
And her love for our WILLIAM endears to us still
That model revered of an Englishman's wife! _ _
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1839-12-20

MILK PUNCH !

THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.

It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; nod :itibrt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their-g taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY, .

by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR
is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while
THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX •
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendent merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of
PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
iiizgi•oves by age.
LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
• biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.

Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

SPORTING' INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.
We have to communicate the commencement of specula-
tion in the Chester Tradesmen's Cup. There was a desire
last evening to " show fight ;" but it was not until noon to-
day that one gentleman " came out " in great force, and at
once placed Abraham Newland and Malvolio conspicuosuly on
the carpet ; coupling them at 10 to 1, and backing them
singly at 20 to Ito . win a considerable sum. This seemed
quite to startle the fieldsmen, and no snore could be got on.
upon those terms ; 20 to 1 has since been offered " beat the
two," or 100 to 6 against either of them. 200 to 9 was laid
against Sir Thomas Stanley's Cowboy this morning, and
offers made to back Colonel Peel's nomination v. any horse.
The copious odds of 100 to 1 wese laid against Charles XII
of course all bets, except otherwise arranged, are considered

THE DERBY.

The abut of the Chester event will, no doubt, coupled
with the holidays, affect the quantity and quality of business
on this great race. A few horses only have been backed
since Friday, say 17 to 1 against Muley Ishmael to-day—
taken ; 500 has been laid at evens between him and Ange-
lica c. Ottoman has been freely favoured at 33 and 35 to 1,
and some money laid out. 500 to 15 was offered to-day,
and the same against Velocity colt ; 33 to 1 was taken on the
latter last night. 50 to 1 against either Janus or Confederate
f—offered.. Offers to back Wardan, but no one made " a
bid ;" the same may besaid of Maroon, &c.
