TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN OF VOSZ.

The year's last hour with solemn sound
Es pealing on the list'oing ear;
.Friends. pass the goblet; I-t's drink round
Our blessing on the parting year!
To join the former years it goes,
The vanish'il years alreooy sped;
It brought fall many joys and woes,
Nearer the gaol our steps it led.

Time, on swift wing•, for.evermore
Round in his circling course proceeds;
Life blooms, matures, decays,—'t is o'er,—
And dull oblivion succeeds.
Scarce the worn grave-stone can proclaim
Who sleeps within the mould'ring tomb;
And beauty, wealth, power, honour, fame—
All sink with time in night's (Jeep gloom.

Are all of uR asserahled here.
The merry band, who full of life,
Together met on this day year,
And mirth and social glee were rife?
Alas! we've seen full many sink
In death's still sleep, too early doom !
Pledge me, my friends, and let us drink
" Peace to each lost companion's tomb!"

Who knows before this year be gone,
How many in the grave msy lie !
Death, without warning, hastens on,
And calls us ere we deem him nigh.
So e'en the genial spriug•tide air
Oft o'er, the falling lean will sweep—
Those who survive shall breathe the pray'r
"Peace to each friend's still grave !"-7and weep.

The good man does but calmly close
His eyes in gentle sleep awhile;
And (lop, to sweeten his repose,
'Bids zladening dreams around him smile.
Earth's sorrows o'er, his Gon awakes
-The slornb'rer from his bed of rest;
And bright upon his vision breaks
That better world where all are bleat.

Then, cheer ye, frientl;i nor let the thought
That we must part onr joy repress;
The men whose soot's with goodness fraught
In l►fe or death finds happiness.
Yet. shall we meet again in bliss,
Again our songs of gladness pour!
Drink round ;—our New-Year's toast he this :
" May g.,odness prosper evermore!"

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

pelted to "cut the painter" and send this, the most beautiful
and heathfut colony in North America, adrift, to, enj,y the
blessings of a "pure. republic"—the reptiblic of infidelity and
the williotine—such a one as tiorished in the happy days of the
directory and Robespierre—such a one as MOnswur Papinean
won lit wish to se! e-4 i Wished. s

, It will be collected front the Foregoing observations that the
sirievance-mongers con,i•it almost entirely of the habitans, or
French Canadians. They are the descendants of the original
French setters, and they entertain towards the I!:nglisii set-
tlers, or Britisheis, as they are called, the ancient national
feelings of hatred and enmity, and, that, too, in a degree of
virulence which it is evident cannot be softened by time, nor
friendly intercourse, our the application of conciliatory mea-
sures. At the head of these French malcontents is the afore-
said notorious Papineau, who started in life as a needy lawyer,
and who, to the disgrace of the province, has been for 20 years
the speaker of the House of Assembly. This man unites in his
own person all the bad quallities which a ftimehter of sedition
and a crafty and cowardly conspirator may be supposed to pos-
sess. In fact, he may not inaptly be compared to :another agi-
tator near home, in the racklessness with which he goads on,
his deluded followers to their distinction, and the cunning with
which he- contrives to secure himself from the consermences of
his sedition.

* Captain Basil Hall said he was positively assured that the
greater part of the House of Assembly could not even sign their
own names ! What sort of a House of Commons should we see
at home, if there were not property qualification?

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Courier.)

MANCHESTER.—There is but little variation to notice in the
state of business since last week. The present is a period at
which there are seldom any extensive operations entered into,
and the market generally remains in almost a quiescent state
during the close of the present and the commencement of the
ensninv, year. There is, however, every disposition on the part
of the spinners and mannfactuters to hold at the present ad.-
vanced prices, from the general impression that exists, that a
better business is likely to be done in the early part of the year;
and, also from the opinion that any probable variation in the
prices of cotton, cannot effect. the present prices of goods and
yarn, Unless it be to cause a still further advance.

Bugry.—Trade seems-to be reviving a little in this town and
neighbourhood; the printing establishments, and the business
dependant on them, are in more 'general and active operation
than they have been for some weeks. In other branches there
is little or no variation.

TO THE PUBLIC.

In entering upon a new year, we beg to tender our cue-
' tomary acknowledgements to our friends and the pub-
lic for the very liberal support whichivj have received
during the year which has just expired. Our best
thanks are due to those who have favoured us with a
eontinfiance of their patronage as subscribers to the
LIVERPOOL STANDARD ; Whilst we can scarcely find
terms sufficiently expressive to signify our sense of
obligation to those who have so liberally contributed
towards augmenting our advertising business. Thanks
to OW advertising' friends in general, we have been
enabled to occupy a truly proud position among the
provincial newspapers. As the last returns
.fully
proved, there were only nine newspapers out of Lon
don which had received credit for a greater number
of advertisements, during the first half year in 1837,
than the LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
We are happy to assure our friends that our circulation
continues to be on the increase.
Nothing shall be wanting on our part to render the
LIVERPOOL STANDARD still more deserving of that
patronage and support which it has hitherto received.
Our unremitted exertions shad in future be devoted
to this object.
The LIVERPOOL STANDARD presents peculiar claims
to the support of the public as an advertising medium.
Its circulation Is-chiefly among the mercantile classes.
and in private families, thus offering that advantage
of which Advertisers are generally in search—the
most eligible mode of communicating with the more
wealthy and respectable portions of the community.
In conclusion we have great pleasure in wishing our
friends "a happy new year, and many returns of the.

season."

20,000 bales, which would tnake the consumption less by about
350 bales per week, than it appears in the above s'atenient.
Prices, during the past year, fluctuated considerably. At its
commencement, Uplands ranged from 7id toll per tb; prices
began to decline towards the end of January, and stood, at the
close of May, from 4id to 72d; at the beginning of August,
however, they rallied, and at the end of the year, ranged from

On her outward voyage, the Great Western left. Bristol on
the evening of' the Bth ult. arriving at New York on the
evening of the 24th, having experienced very rough and bad
weather, with head winds for thirteen days out of the sixteen.
An American paper states that she took out 134 pasengers,
and that berths tor 30 or 40 more were applied for, but neces-
sarily refused.

As an instance of the superiority of steaming over sailino-,
we may mention that the Great Western, leaving New York
on the afternoon of the 4th inst. arrived at Bristol on the
morning of the 17th; while the Sheridan liner, which sailed
from New York on the 25th ult., after a favourable voyage,
with westerly winds, arrived at Liverpool yesterday, the 19th.
The steamer leaves the same port nine days after the liner,
and brings the news so much later, and yet arrives in Eng-
land full two days before her less rapid competitor.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 22.
The great abundance of Foreign Butter, and the decided prefer-

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—Upon the whole the business done in the Cloth
Halls has been good since our last. There is not so large a
supply of goods in stock as usual. The operatives, we are
glad to state, are generally pretty well employed.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY, OCT. IB.—ln the wool market
business was much in the same state as last week. Prices
stationary, and staplers were rather firm. The demand for
yarn is good, large quantities being required for export, with
no variation in price. There was no improvement in the
piece market, and prices gave way a little.

INDion.—At the public sales of East India yesterday,
buyers came forward with increased spirit, and only 200 out
of 1036 chests which passed the chair were bought in; the
prices obtained are rather above those of last week for con-
suming descriptions, and fully equal for export kinds. To-
day at public sale the demand was very brisk, both for home
consumption and export; the prices established
_yesterday
were fully supported; 152 chests passed, of which 800 were
sold. Up to the present time 6581 chests have passed the
sale, out of which 5081 have been actually sold; prices ale
generally now 2d above those of the July sale. The total
deliveries of indigo for home consumption from the warehouses
for the week ending Oct. 13, were 36,8701b5. of East India,
and 10581bs. of Spanish.—Price Current, Oct. 17.
LANCAST4,I‘ CHEESE FA IR.—A large quantitiy of cheese
was pitched, and readily taken; the prices varying from 50s.
to 60s. per cwt., and a few prime dairies fetched 635. to 645.
At the close of the day the fair was almost cleared.

On Thursday morning a labourer, employed on a mine
near Horra-bridge, was struck by a small stone thrown from
the firing of a rock, under the ear, which cut the juglar vein,
ar.d the man died in a few minutes.— Western Luminary,
STIRLING, Ocr. 11.—On Tuesday last a woman, of the
name of Ann Stirling, of rather weak intellect, while wan-
dering in the glen of Kippenrait, had incautiously ventured
too near that fearful chasm called the Byke, and fell over the
precipice, seventy feet in height, upon the rocks into the
foaming burn at the bottom, by which she was killed. A
number of men had to be let down by ropes from the top of
the precipice, and by this means got the poor woman up, and
had her conveyed on a cart belonging to a neighbouring far-
mer to her house in Dunblane.

FIFTH DIVIDEND TO THE INSURED,

HIDERSONS Insured against Fire to the extent of £3OO
and upwards, whose Policies continued in force at
Christmas 1837, and who had then been Insured Two Years
at least, are hereby informed that the Fifth Dividend, calcu-
lated on the Nutt Amount of the Premiums paid by them,
from Christmas 1832, to Christmas 1837, is now payable at
the Company's Office in Exeter, and by the Agents with
whom the Insurances were effected, or renewed.
FIRE INSURANCES continue to be granted on the
above plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of
the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the
Public have already derived considerable returns.
LIFE INSURANCES.

A Bonus has been declared on Policies by adding to the
Sums insured, payable at the decease of the Life, or an equi-
v-alent reduction of the future Annual Premiums, at the
option of the Insured. This advantage, added to the re-
duced rate of Premiums, tenders the terms of this Company
particularly favourable to the Insured.

The Company's business is still increasing, and the esti-
mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred
from the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in
the Kingdom; and, as a Life Office, the ex:eut of its busi-
ness is not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies.
The following Fire Policies, amongst many others, are
now receiving the Bonus attached thereto in the Liverpool
Department :
