STEAM TO AUST RALIA.

THE repeated failures of the Australian Steam
Navigation Company to perform their contract
with the Government for the conveyance of the
Mails has led to the withdrawal of the engagement,
and the Government intend to avail themselves of
the ordinary passenger-ships, by making short con-
tracts from month to month. The rapid passage to
and fro of the Marco Polo and other sailing vessels
led to the conviction that the advantages of steam
had not been made apparent ; and though, as in the
case of the Great Britain, the delay was shown to
have arisen from imperfect arrangements as to the
supply of coal, the problem of comparative supe-
-riority has yet to be solved. This is further con-
firmed by the arrival, on Thursday, at Portsmouth,
of the sailing vessel Vimiera, from Sydney, in 83
days, having beaten the steamer Sarah Sands,
which left two days previously; so that the Govern-
ment appear to be fully justified in putting an end
to an engagement which promised no advantages to
the public service, either in speed or safety. It was
an opportunity which was readily seized, owing to
the fact that the existing contracts for the packet
service amount to about £BOO,OOO a-year, which the
Government were anxious to reduce; but the
evidence at present obtained is by no means con-
clusive, nor can the imperfections of the Australian
Company's boats be considered as any test of the
capabilities of such steam-vessels as Liverpool can
dispatch on this voyage. When the Great Britain
and other steamers from this port—for in this
respect also Liverpool has greatly the superiority—
shall be again sent out, and the arrangements
for coaling are complete, we may look to see the
distance between Australia and this country per-
formed in a much shorter time than has hitherto
been accomplished.
While, however, the Government were fully jus-
tified in putting an end to the contract with the
Australian Company, from the manifest incapacity
of the latter to perform its engagements, there is
no ground for assuming that the other contracts for
the Postoffice Packet Service are such improvident
arrangements as Viscount CANNING attempted to
make it appear. When we view the magnificent
fleets of powerful steamers belonging to the Ct•zit RD
line, and the several other companies performing
this service to various parts of the world, the only
conclusion is—that the public money was never
voted for a better purpose, nor more real economy
practised ; as, to the establishment of these lines of
steam-ships may be chiefly attributed the great in-
crease of commerce which has taken place within
the last few years.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

OUR MUSICAL READERS have not forgotten that the
first of Mr. Henry Hadyn Roger's pianoforte soirees will
take place at the Royal Assembly-rooms this evening.
THE WELSH NIGHTINGALE (Miss E. L. Williams)
will give vocal entertainments at the Concert-hall, Lord
Nelson-street.

PARK THEATRE.—Mr. IWlCean Buchanan, the Ame-
rican tragedian, has been engaged, and will shortly appear
at this theatre.

THE RECEIPTS at the Theatre Royal, on Monday
evening last, on the occasion of the amateur performance
in aid of the Licensed Victuallers' Association, amounted
to £197 7s.

MR. VANDENHOFF, in responding to the toast of his
health at the Shaksperean festival, at Stratford, on Wed-
nesday, declared that he had entered upon his professional
career by playing in a barn at Stratford, forty-five yearsago.
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The patrons of the drama
will be pleased to learn that Mr. Vandenhoff, to whose
efforts the prolonged run of Henry V. may in a great
measure be attributed, is engaged to re-appear in that
character on this and following evenings.

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—The next concert of this
society takes place on the 17th instant, when Staudigl will
once more appear before a Liverpool audience, with whom
he has ever been a favourite. Miss Louisa Pyne and

THURSDAY, APRIL 28.

The Oldham Corporation and Oldham Gas and Water-
works Bill was read a third time and passed.
Mr. CHAS. TURNER presented a petition from the Wes-
leyan Methodists, of the Liverpool northern circuit,
against opening the Crystal Palace on the Lord's day.
Mr. DUNLOP presented a petition from the inhabitants
of St. Stephen the Martyr's district, Liverpool, to the
same effect.

TOBACCO AND TEA LICENSES.—In reply to a Aues.
tion from Mr. Labouchere, the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER said he was very sensible that the scale of
licenses proposed would operate with great severity, which
was not at all intended on the part of the Government,
and lie therefore freely gave a pledge that the scale should
be reconsidered and reprinted in time to give notice to all
parties concerned.
CORPORATE PROPERTY.—In answer to a question,
whether property in the possession of corporate bodies
was to be subject to the duty on successions, the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the terms of the
proposal which had been submitted to the House, that
certain duties should be imposed on the succession of
property, in consequence of death, did not apply to cor-
porate property. The Government, however, would sub.
mit a further proposition to the House, having reference
to the property held by corporate bodies.
TAX ON WAGES.—In answer to a question as to the
mode of calculating the wages of a family, with a view to
the imposition of the income-tax, the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER said, that man and wife being, in the
eye of the law, one person, they would be so considered
in the assessment of the income-tax, but it was not pro-
posed that the earnings of the children should be brought
within the scope of the assessment.
DEBATE ON THE BUDGET.

The adjourned debate on the resolution for imposing
the Property and Income-tax for seven years, and ex-
tending it to Ireland, was resumed by Mr. COBDEN, who
spoke generally in favour of the Budget, but condemned
the relief of advertisement supplements only from stamp
duty, as a boon to one paper.
In the course of the discussion which ensued, Sir Chas.
WOOD entered into an elaborate defence of the Budget
against the various objections to it which had been raised.
The debate was then adjourned till Friday.
SCOTCH SHERIFFS COURT.—The Sheriff Courts (Scot-
land) Bill was referred to a Select Committee.

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.

By the United States mail steamer Atlantic, Captain
West, which reached the Mersey on Wednesday, after a
passage of about 10 days 19 hours, we have advices
from New York to the 16th ult. She brought R 261,000
in specie, and 151 passengers.
It is stated that Mr. Buchanan does not intend to re-
lieve Mr. Ingersoll at the Court of St. James till the
close of the present fiscal year, the 30th June.
A despatch from Washington announces that Dr. Kane
has received his instructions relative to the new Arctic
expedition, and expects to sail from New York about the
Ist of May.
CANADA.—The Canadian Assembly had adopted the
bill making various alterations in the tariff, by which,
among other things, goods that ascend the St. Lawrence
Canal will pass the Welland Canal free of duty, and vice
versa. Salt is to be entirely free ; printing presses and
materials, except paper, are to pay 2i per cent. The
produce of the sea from Newfoundland and Labrador is
to come in at the same rate as from Nova Scotia, and will
be virtually free.
WEST INDIES.—The steamer Union had arrived at
New York, with Jamaica advices to the 6th ult., and
$201,757 in specie. The impending disputes between
the legislative council and house of assembly of Jamaica
were not likely to be speedily adjusted. The effect was
very injurious to trade. The loss of the retrenchment
bill in the council had led to the adoption of some reso-
lutions, among which was one declaring the right of the
legislature to reduce, without compensation, the salaries
of public servants immediately, and to remodel, prospec-
tively, the entire institutions of the colony.
Maxtco.—General Santa Anna arrived on the Ist inst.
at Vera Cruz, where he is said to have been very coldly
received. He started immediately for his farm at Lncerra,
near Jalapa.

AMERICAN MORALITY.—There is an interesting couple
in Cincinnati who have been engaged to be married for
the last five years, but no time has occurred, within that
period, when they were both out of prison at the same time.
LIGHTING GAS WITH THE TIP OF THE FINGER.—This
is a feat any body may perform. Let a person in their
shoes or slippers walk briskly over a woollen carpet, his feet thereon, or stand upon a chair with its legs
in tour tumblers, to insulate it, and be there rubbed up
and down on the body a few times with a muff, by another
person, and he will light his gas by
simply touching his
finger to the tube. It is only necessary to take the pre-
caution not to touch anything or be touched by anybody
during the trial of the experiment. The stock of electri-
city acquired by the process we have described is dis-
charged by contact with another object.- A second person
must turn on the gas while the other fires it. The writer
has lighted it in this way, and seen it done by children not
half a dozen years old. We are all peripatetic lucifer

DR. M`NEILE AND PRIEST POWER.

WE need not invite the attention of our readers
to the following letters. They will remember the
letter from Dr. NI`NEILE to the Priest, which ap-
peared in our columns last week. It fastened with
JAEL-like precision the nail which the Reverend
Doctor's former letter had pointed. The Priest
published what cannot be called a reply, and has
thereby elicited a rejoinder. Here they are ; and
the contrast is all that the most sincere lovers of
truth, and the most ardent admirers of Dr. WN EI LE
could desire. When will the intelligent Roman
Catholic laity, if there be such, exercise the prero-
gatives of reasonable beings, and cease to be the
dupes of designing men ? There is no phenomenon
of our common nature more extraordinary, or more
humiliating, than the inveterate hold which preju-
dice or superstition maintains on the mind, in de-
fiance of convincing arguments, and the plainest
deductions of reason.

PRIEST POWER TO THE REV. DR. 111`NEILE.

SIR,—You appear to be deeply mortified at my pro.
longed silence. If you desire to hear the simple truth,
believe me the reason why your previous letter to me was
suffered to pass unnoticed is, because I neither consider
you in your public capacity, nor the fruits of your pen, of
such importance as to deserve my attention. The same
motive will induce me to pay a similar mark of respect to
any future literary production which your sincere and dis-
interested zeal for my spiritual welfare may prompt you
to dictate to me. You assure me that many copies of
your first gratuitous epistle to me have been distributed.
That does not in the least excite my surprise, much less
cause any feeling of uneasiness or apprehension. You
have never yet been accused of neglecting your own in-
terests. The more copies of it that are circulated, the
greater will be the boon conferred on the community.—l
am, Sir, yours, &c., PIERCE POWER.

STEAM TO .:UST RALIA.

THE repeated failures of the Australian Steam
Navigation Company to perform their contract
with the Government for the conveyance of the
Mails has led to the withdrawal of the engagement,
and the Government intend to avail themselves of
the ordinary passenger-ships, by making short con-
tracts from month to month. The rapid passage to
and fro of the Marco Polo and other sailing vessels
led to the conviction that the advantages of steam
had not been made apparent ; and though, as in the
case of the Great Britain, the delay was shown to
have arisen from imperfect arrangements as to the
supply of coal, the problem of comparative supe-
riority has yet to be solved. This is further con-
firmed by the arrival, on Thursday, at Portsmouth,
of the sailing vessel Vimiera, from Sydney, in 83
days, having beaten the steamer Sarah Sands,
which left two days previously ; so that the Govern-
ment appear to be fully justified in putting an end
to an engagement which promised no advantages to
the public service, either in speed or safety. It was
an opportunity which was readily seized, owing to
the fact that the existing contracts for the packet
service amount to about £BOO,OOO a-year, which the
Government were anxious to reduce; but the
evidence at present obtained is by no means con-
clusive, nor can the imperfections of the Australian
Company's boats he considered as any test of the
capabilities of such steam-vessels as Liverpool can
dispatch on this voyage. When the Great Britain
and other steamers from this port—for in this
respect also Liverpool has greatly the superiority—
shall he again sent out, and the arrangements
for coaling are complete, we may look to see the
distance between Australia and this country per-
formed in a much shorter time than hats hitherto
been accomplished.
While, however, the Government were fully jus-
tified in putting an end to the contract with the
Australian Company, from the manifest incapacity
of the latter to perform its engagements, there is
no ground for assuming that the other contracts for
the Postoffice Packet Service are such improvident
arrangements as Viscount CANNING attempted to
make it appear. 'When we view the magnificent
fleetsof powerful steamers belonging to the CUNARD
line, and the several other companies performing
this service to various parts of the world, the only
conclusion is—that the public money was never
voted for a better purpose, nor more real economy
practised ; as, to the establishment of these lines of
steam-ships may be chiefly attributed the great in-
crease of commerce which has taken place within
the last few years.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY, APRIL 26.
The Registration of Assurances Bill passed through
committee with some amendments.

STEAM TO AVSTRALIA.—In answer to a question from
Lord Wharncliffe as to what steps the Postmaster-
General had taken with regard to the Australian packet
service, in consequence of the dissolution of the contract
with the Australian Royal Mail Steam Company, Lord
CANNING said the Government were under contract for
the packet service to the extent of about £BOO,OOO
annually, and had taken the opportunity of the failure of
the Australian Packet Company to endeavour to effect a
saving. The communication with Australia was carried
on by means of the Peninsular and Oriental Mail Com-
pany, and it was the intention of Government to adver-
tise for tenders for the conveyance of one or more mails
in alternate months to the Australian colonies. It was
also their intention to fix the price to be paid for this
service, and to fetter it with as few conditions as possible.

IMPROVEMENTS IN NAVIGATION.—Lord ROTTES•
LEY called Attention to a correspondence between the
United States' Government, her Majesty's Government,
and the Royal Society, with reference to a comprehensive
scheme for improving the art of navigation, and dilated
very scientifically on the great importance of the scheme,
as one well worthy the consideration of the house and of
the Government.—Earl GRANVILLE said the Government
was by no means unwilling to further the proposals of the
United States in this matter. They claimed, however,
the right to see that the money granted for such purposes
was expended with judicious economy, and they had ac-
cordingly abstained from granting aid to scientific investi-
gations which might be more fitly carried on by private
means.

restriction which destroys all the grace of
the boon, and renders still necessary the
interference of the tax-gatherer. The repeal
of the stamp duty on advertisement supplements
must also be withdrawn, as it is a boon of which, at
present, only one newspaper can take advantage,
and which, as a partial boon, is unjust to all others.
Besides, if the increase of advertisements requires
the printing of a supplement, it also provides a
fund out of which to bear the cost ; but by retaining
the sixpence on advertisements, all papers have to
pay, and those who can best afford it have the
saving. The advertisement which represents the
public must, therefore, be free, and the supplement
which represents the wealthy proprietor must con-
tinue to hear the stamp. This is simply a demand
for justice, and of so obvious a character that our
Representatives will not be doing their duty unless
they insist on its being conceded. We can imagine
the semblance of an excuse for such a preference,
had the Times been really what it professes,—the
unflinching advocate of English interests ; but, true
to its title, its politics and its principles have been
as versatile as the fickle breath of popular favour.
It hunted the late KING of HANOVER with reitera-
tion of the foulest slanders ; it libelled the late
QUEEN ADELAIDE with the well-remembered
slander, " The Queen has done it all ;" it was
Conservative when the late Sir ROBERT PEEL was
in the ascendant; it became Liberal when Lord
JOHN RUSSELL succeeded him; it truckled to the
DERBY Cabinet for a preference, which, being
refused, provoked its enmity ; it laboured unceas-
ingly to provoke a war with France by repeated
attacks upon LOUIS NAPOLEON ; and its changes
of opinion are so notorious that its large circulation
is chiefly owing to so many persons liking to read
both sides of a question. It has been by turns the
champion of high Toryism and ultra Radicalism,
and, always desirous to court Ministerial favour, has
at length found the highest bidder in the immacu-
late Mr.IGLADSTONE, at a price which is patent to
all the world. The public should be able now to
appreciate its advocacy of the Budget at its full
worth, but Parliament will be oblivious of its mani-
fest duty if it allows the price to be paid.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1853-05-03

STEAM TO AL ST RALIA.

THE repeated failures of the Australian Steam
Navigation Company to perform their contract
with the Government for the conveyance of the
Mails has led to the withdrawal of the engagement,
and the Government intend to avail themselves of
the ordinary passenger-ships, by making short con-
tracts from month to month. The rapid passage to
and fro of the Marco Polo and other sailing vessels
led to the conviction that the advantages of steam
had not been made apparent ; and though, as in the
case of the Great Britain, the delay was shown to
have arisen from imperfecr arrangements as to the
supply of coal, the problem of comparative supe-
riority has yet to be solved. This is further con-
firmed by the arrival, on Thursday, at Portsmouth,
of the sailing vessel Vimiera, from Sydney, in 83
days, having beaten the steamer Sarah Sands,
which left two days previously; so that the Govern-
ment appear to be fully justified in putting an end
to an engagement which promised no advantages to
the public service, either in speed or safety. It was
an opportunity which was readily seized, owing to
the fact that the existing contracts for the packet
service amount to about £BOO,OOO a-year, which the
Government were anxious to reduce; but the
evidence at present obtained is by no means con-
clusive, nor can the imperfections of the Australian
Company's boats he considered as any test of the
capabilities of such steam-vessels as Liverpool can
dispatch on this voyage. When the Great Britain
and other steamers from this port—for in this
respect also Liverpool has greatly the superiority—
shall be again sent out, and the arrangements
for coaling are complete, we may look to see the
distance between Australia and this country per-
formed in a much shorter time than has hitherto
been accomplished.
While, however, the Government were fully jus-
tified in putting an end to the contract with the
Australian Company, from the manifest incapacity
of the latter to perform its engagements, there is
no ground for assuming that the other contracts for
the Postoffice Packet Service are such improvident
arrangements as Viscount CANNING attempted to
make it appear. When we view the magnificent
fleets of powerful steamers belonging to the CUNARD
line, and the several other companies performing
this service to various parts of the world, the only
conclusion is—that the public money was never
voted for a better purpose, nor more real economy
practised ; as, to the establishment of these lines of
steam-ships may be chiefly attributed the great in-
crease of commerce which has taken place within
the last few years.

PROVISION MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 29.—Beef is dull, and rates for ordinary
sorts tend downwards. Pork continues extremely quiet, and
buyers cannot be tempted with any reasonable concession in
prices. Bacon has been rather more inquired for, especially
from Ireland ; but purchasers only operate in retail. The
sales of Lard, principally to arrive, reach about 200 tons, at full
rates. Cheese is in good demand, and the arrivals have been
cleared off ex ship at extreme figures.
MAY 2.—During the past week new Butter met a ready sale
on arrival, and at the close the market was completely cleared
at 96s to 100 s for the finest brands of Waterford; 96s to 98s for
Carrick and Clonmel ; 92s to 94s for Limerick ; 90s to 92s for
Tralee ; and 86s to Na for fourth, and 76s to 78s per cwt. for
fifth Cork. To-day, holders require an advance of fully 2s per
cwt. on the above quotations, in consequence of the supply
being inadequate to the demand. No old Butter on the market.
Irish Bacon was in fair request at 56s to 58s per Cwt. Hams
led demand; bladdered, 63s to
