TO CORRESPONDENTS

go. 2 of the " Analysis ofour Exports" on Friday

The lines of ." C. B. G." were received too late.
We cannot find that the " suicide" referred to by our Lon-
don correspondent was ever inserted in the Standard.
Our attention is again called to the illuminated clock of St.
George's Church. When last we noticed it, the defect
was remedied for a night or two ; but the light might as
well be taken away altogether unless some effectual means
be devised to render it of some use. No complaint is
ever made of St. Peter's ; and it is evidently a sheer piece
of neglect that the former is allowed to remain as it is.
It is a complete eyesore..and worse than useless.

We anticipate the radicals will " gain a loss" by the con-
tinued agitation of Mr. Quayle's unnecessary litigation.
A summary of the facts connected with the case appeared
in the Standard of the 31st ult., which could not fail to
impress the public mind with the strong conviction that
the opposition, on the part of Mr. Quayle, to the just
demands of Mr. Shand has been, from the commencement,
trivial and vexatious. A letter from Mr. Hodgson, one
of the members for Everton Ward, appears in another
column, and will, we doubt not, be read with interest. It
treats the whole affair in a common-sense, business-like
way; and if the Council to-morrow agree to Mr. Aikin's
proposal, they will add another proof of their incapacity
for their offices.

We should have been glad to have inserted the report of the
Protestant meeting had we received it earlier.
The Albion of yesterday has the following :—" It becomes
our melancholy duty, as the penny-a-liners say, this week
to inform our readers, that Lord Sattdon is not President
of the Board of Trade." His lordship, we have reason to
know, was strongly solicited to render his valuable services
as a member of the present efficient administration, but
the interests of his constituents are dearer to him than
place and pay, and induced him to abandon the offers
which were made to him. Had Sir Joshua Walmsley,
whom our contemporary is so fond of extolling, been
similarly situated, no doubt his worship would have turned
his back upon those whose sweet voices he is now so de-
sirous of winning.
