AIRS. MARY PARKES' PICTURES.

It will be seen, on reference to our advertising columns
to-day, that the valuable collection of engravings, the
property of Mrs. Parker, is about to bepurchased by a
club subscription. There are few who have not heard of
this enormous collection, the value of which, at publishing
price, exceeds eleven thousand pounds, and which, in
point of talent, cannot be outvied by any extant. Yet
they are about to be disposed of for two thousand four
hundred guineas ; so that each subscriber of one guinea
will be entitled, at the lowest ratio, to a print valued at
one guinea and a half, while the more fortunate may ob-
tain prizes worth over one hundred pounds. The follow-
ing list of the prizes will fully illustrate the scheme:-
2 of 100 guineas ; 1 of 60 guineas ; 1 of 35 guineas ; 1
of £35 ; 1 of 30 guineas ; 2 of £25 ; 1 of 24 guineas ; 2
of 16 guineas ; 1 of 15 guineas ; 5 of 14 guineas; 1 of
£l3 15s. ; 1 of 13 guineas ; 1 of £l3; 8 of 12 guineas;
4 of £ll ; 207 of 10 guineas ; 3 of 811 guineas ; 2 of
£8 10s.; 25 of 8 guineas; 15 of f:8; 5 of 71 guineas; 4
of £7 10s. ; 1 of 7 guineas; 4 of £6 165.; 280 of 6 gui-
neas ; 2 of 14 guineas ; 445 of 5 guineas ; 6 of £4 17s. 6d.;
1 of £4 16s. 6d. ; 2 of 41 guineas ; 155 of 4 guineas ; 2 of
31 guineas ; 403 of 3 guineas ; 1 of 21 guineas ; 457 of 2
guineas ; 50 of £1 12s. ; 295 of LI Ils. 6d.
The total value of the prints to be distributed amongst
the 11,400 subscribers is £11,040 ss. 6J.; but we must
call the attention of our readers to the fact that to-morrow
is the last day on which subscriptions can be received
and, as this is an opportunity seldom presented, there is
no doubt many will avail themselves of it.

The Telegraph reports that a steamer, on Sunday night,
ran ashore on Great Burbo Bank in No. per chart thirty_

APPREHENSION OF TurEvEs.—We yesterday learned
at the Police-court, that two gangs of thieves who were
wont to infest this town, and who committed many ware-
house and other robberies, have for the most part been
secured,—one gang at Warrington, and the other at Bel-
fast, after numerous depredations in these towns and their
neighbourhood. The conduct of Mr. Jones, chief con-
stable of Warrington, in detecting the gang there, was
most praiseworthy. Two of the fellows had robbed the
bed-room of a lodging-house of £lO in gold. and other va-
luables. and one of them had broken into a warehouse,
and abstracted a quantity of tea and tobacco, which he
sold in Liverpool. The gang at Belfast had committed
two desperate burglaries. They have all been committed
for trial at the assizes to be held in the respective coun-
ties.

DISASTER TO THE GREAT BRITAIN.
LATEST PARTICULARS.

At ten o'clock yesterday forenoon the adjourned meet-
ing of passengers by the Great Britain was held at the
George Inn, Mr. Rennie, president. A deputation (in-
cluding the chairman) immediately proceeded to Messrs.
M'lver and Co's to learn whether they could send the
Acadia out to America as had been contemplated and
expected. The interview lasted about an hour, and on
their return Mr. Rennie requested Mr. Watt to state the
heads of what had resulted. _ _ _

Mr. WATT said they had waited upon Messrs. M'lver
and Co., who said they had examined their government
contract, and they had it on the table for the inspection of
the deputation. The substance of it was that the penalty
they would incur if they had not a spare vessel ready to be
dispatched was five hundred pounds for every twelve hours
of delay. The contract, moreover, must be taken all
through as a whole, and a difficulty occurring at any one
time might produce, they said, a recurrence of difficulties
which might extend throughout the whole term of their
contract. On that ground, they were under the necessity
of declining to send out any vessel of theirs. They said,
in further explanation, that in the event of any difficulty
to any vessel of their line, there was no vessel in the
kingdom which they could take up or charter to meet the
emergency—none, indeed, that would pass the required
Admiralty survey. Their vessels must be. of a certain
power, and were not to do more work than was allotted
to such power. They also stated, that in this matter
money was of no consideration to them. They would
desire to accommodate the applicants, and if they could
do so, the rate of fare would be altogether of secondary
moment. This was the substance of this interview.
In reply to a question put to the chairman, why they
were not told on Saturday about the government con-
tract, the Chairman replied that Mr. M'lver was not
then in town. _ _

A passenger thought it desirable to send a deputation
at once to the Admiralty, to ascertain if they would, as
regarded this particular case, waive that portion of their
contract alluded to. _ _

A. member of the deputation said that Messrs. M'lver
were averse to running any risk. They were asked if
they would reconsider the matter for two hours, and
emphatically declined. It was urged by the deputation
that from the 4th of November they would have to send
out only one vessel a month, and other arguments were
used, but without avail. It appeared, too, that even if
the Admiralty entertained their application, the post-
office authorities (whom they must afterwards petition)
might demur, or refuse, and much time would be lost
before they could obtain a final reply, and the passengers
could not, in the meantime, be kept together. There
was, therefore, no hope for them in that quarter.
A passenger suggested that application should be made
to the captain of the New York, or some other comman-
der, to fit up the steerage for their exclusive aconmmoda-
tion ; but it appeared that the New York had already her
complement of passengers, and the suggestion was not
taken up.
At the instance of the Chairman, who said there was
now no alternative but to separate without coming to any
satisfactory result, the committee was absolved from fur-
ther duties, and the meeting adjourned sine die.
Prior to the return of the deputation from Messrs.
M`lver's, a number of passengers had signed a paper in-
timating their intention to proceed by the Acadia, pro-
vided the passage money per berth did not exceed £4O.
Most of them took one berth each, but some two,—a few
14, others 3, and one 44, making in all 651 berths certain ;
with a prospect, especially if the vessel went to New York,
of making the number up to 100, or upwards. It was
stated by a gentleman present, that the passengers whose
final destination is the Havana, would sail from South-
ampton.
Several passengers have advertised for berths, at a
considerable premium, in the Caledonia, which sails on
.Sunday next, the 4th October.

The fallowing letters from Lloyd's agent at Warren,.
Mint, the Lieutenant of the Coast Guard at Dundrum
Bay, and Captain Hosken, were received yesterday :
Warrenpoint, September 26, 1846.
SIR,-1 wrote to you from Tyrella yesterday, which
letter was forwarded over here to go per Sea Nymph, last
night, for Liverpool. I left the Great Britair last evening
at seven o'clock. The steam-tug No. 1 reached the bay at
four o'clock from Liverpool, and anchored. Captain
Hosken had a second bower anchor and chain all ready
to be taken out by the tug this forenoon. I fear they
will not be able to accomplish it to-day. We have had
a very severe night of rain and wind, from the south-
west, up to one o'clock to-day. The wind has veered
round to the westward, and moderate. In my letter to
you of yesterday, I mentioned that an anchor of three
tons, with chain, would be required, and in readiness on
board the steam-tug. We will require to be well pre-
pared, and to act with promptness when an opportunity
offers on the next springs, say from 3d to ith October. By
the tide table, we are t have twenty feet tides. Captain
Hosken has succeeded in securing the rudder to act, which
wilt be a great matter, with the machinery uninjured at
present. I arrived here this morning, and will return again
on Thursday or Friday next. I forwarded two anchors this
morning, ten cwt. and five cwt., to the ship, at the request
of Captain Hosken. No further as iistance can be rendered
more than discharging a portion of the coal on shore.
No 1 steam tug will return with all the Great Britain!.
cargo to Liverpool to-morrow. It would be advisable
to have two steam-tugs, of good power, to be in attend-
ance to act on the next tides. Sincerely hoping this fine
vessel may be got off the shore, I am, sir, your obedient
servant, " LEONARD WATSON."

" Thomas Court, Esq."
" P.S. I would recommend a good rope, of nine or ten
inches, ninety fathoms, to be put on board one of the
steamers, in CM it would be required to use in towing."

" Tyrella Watch-house, Sept. 26, 1836, 3 30. p.m.
" GENTLEMEN,—Captain Hosken, of the Great Bri-
tain steam-ship. having deputed me to write to you in the
event of his nct being able to get a letter on shore by post
hour, four o'clock, I beg to inform yt u grit it is now
blostin2 a hard gale from the S.S.W., with a very heavy
sea, preventing any communication with the shore until
low water.

" I am happy to say they have got the rudder straight-
ened ; consequently have now the power of the screw,
which was before jammed. They have also got three
anchors out astern, which Captain Hoskin laid out as
well as he could. Had the weather been more moderate,
it was his intention to have tripped and laid them out
further, but, in consequence of the heavy gales, the tug-
boat from Liverpool has been compelled to get under
weigh, and, I think, has gone to Newry, as she went in
that direction.

" The Great Britain, under all circumstances, has not
worked so heavily as might have been expec'ed, and up to
this morning, nine, a.m., had made little or no water ;
and I trust sincerely that, should the weather be favou-
rable at Fpring tides, she has every chance of getting off.
The gale has moderated considerably within the last hour.
—I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your obedient ser-
vant,
(Signed) " N. W. MORRIS,
" Lieut. R.N., Commanding Coast Guard Station."

" DEAR SIRS,—It came on to blow hard from the S.
and S.S.E., with a heavy sea, last night, and continued
until about an hour since, when it moderated. About one
o'clock our chain parted, and we lost our eight-inch haw-
ser at the same time. The ship had been forging on all
the morning, bringing our anchor home. The rudder-
post is broken off at the upper part, and there is a plate of
iron broken away at the upper end of the st-rn-post,at the
top of the rudder-post. The ship makes but little water in
the bottom. I am now preparing cargo and storesfor getting
out. The former I will, if I can, send by No. 1 Liverpool
steam-tug, who get here yesterday about four o'clock,
but was this morning compelled to leave the bay from bad
weather. I presume she has taken shelter in the neigh-
bourhood.

" I am glad to say everything is going on as orderly as
possible, with all our difficulties, and we have received
and continue to do so, all assistance and attention from
the authorities and the respectable inhabitants of the
neighbourhood they can give us.
" I am, dear sir, yours truly,
" J. HOSKEN.
" Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co."

We understand that a proposition has been made by the
Conservatives, in answer to one from the Reformers.
wherein they urge a partial withdrawal of the municipal
objections, that they (the Conservatives) cannot agree to
this proposal, but they are perfectly willing that the whole
shall be removed nn both sides, and a note to that effect
has been sent to Mr. Hartley. the secretary of the Reform
Association. The Conservatives have made about three
hundred more objection! than the Reformers.
COMMITMENTS AT THE POLICE COURT YESTERDAY.

BODY OF A CHILD FOUND IN A CHAPEL YARD.—
Yesterday an inquest was held before P. F. Curry, Fsq.,
on view of the body of a new-born female child. Police-
officer John Carter said that while he was on duty in
Scotland-road, on Sunday morning, soon after 8 o'clock,
a little bov told him there was a little chill in St. An-
thony's Chapel Yard. He went there with another officer,
and they found the body wrapped in a linen rag, and a
sort of shawl, and placed beside the chapel-yard wall.
Mr. Woods, surgeon, who examined the body, said it was
a full-grown female child. The body wag in a state of
great decomposition. lie was of opinion that the deceased
had been still-born, and the jury returned a verdict ac-
cordingly.
FATAL ACCIDENTS.—A man named Peter Nowlan,
employed at the new gas works, in Toxteth-park, whilst
lately blasting a portion of rock, was much injured by an
explosion, and died on Tuesday.—A man on the Liverpool
and Bury railway named William Clayton, met with such
serious injuries, while at work in the tunnel at Walton,
on Friday, the 18th instant, that he exvired on Thursday
last, at the Northern Hospital.—On Monday, an infant,
14 months old, son of James Bell, of Spitalfields, was
standing on a settle placed under the window, before
which there was a wire blind. The child got hold of the
blind, which be pulled down, falling with it. He received
such injuries that he died on Thursday.—On Monday,
James M`Corville, two years old, was standing in the
middle of Stewart-street, and was run over by a cart. The
child survived until Wednesday. An alarm was given to
the driver, who continued to drive on, not bearing the
alarm. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of man-
slaughter against the driver, who has been, committed to
Kirkdale for trial at the mixes.

THE POTATO DISEASE.-IMPORTATIONS OF
FOREIGN CORN.

We are glad to state that, within the last few days,
accounts have appeared in the newspapers and letters
received from Ireland, and also from most of the pro-
vincial towns in this country, of a far more cheering cha-
racter, relative to the potato crop generally, than the
alarming statements of interested parties, as to the pre-
sent, and their still gloomier forebodings as to the future,
would, had thee been well founded, have warranted us in
anticipating. That the disease has prevailed to a great
extent ire many localities there is no question, but other
parts of the country have almost (it appears) escaped the
disease; and when the immense breadth of land occupied
by this edible in the present year is taken into account,
and which, bad all been well, would have yielded much
above an average crop, a deduction of say one-third or even
one-half, from the weight that was expected iu the
middle of the summer, will still leave a considerable
supply. The present high prices will also, no doubt, in-
duce economy in the ;zonsumptiun, at least for the present,
and from the favourable facts that have now transpired,
the evil will not, in all probability, be nearly so extensive
as was some week's ago apprehended. The general tenor
of the accounts is, that the general crop, and especially
the wint, r kind (forming the lareest and most important
portion,) will turn our sound and good ; and that In some
places, where the greatest despondency had existed from
the decay of the tops, the roots are healthy and abundant.
The speculators in corn have, as usual, been busy in en-
deavouring to screw up prices still further, but holders of
grain would do well not to rely upon their statements, for,
in the first place, the importations from abroad have al-
ready been heavy, and in the second, still heavier easgoel
are in preparation for shipment to this country, in the
United States and elsewhere, of immense quantities of
flour, grain, and " any quantity " of Indian corn, both
from America and the shores of the Black Sea. Last
week, five ships alone brought to this port, from America,
25,000 barrels of flour. In two or three days, too, 5000
qrs. of wheat and a large quantity of Indian corn, were
also landed, and other vessels similarly laden have since
arrived. Our own farmers would therefore do well to
bring their own stuff to market, while prices remain at
their present point, for keeping back in expectation of
a still greater reversion, will, in all probability, only lead
them to disappointment and unavailing regret that they
did not "make hay while the sun shone," especially as
the large stocks being purchased in America, at a com-
paratively low figure, will, if sold at our existing quota-
tions, realize an immense profit to the shippers. Let them
remember that "a bird in the hand, is worth two in the
bush."

The packet ship Shenandoah, from Philadelphia, brings
back upwards of one hundred returning emigrants.
The Rev. J. Cordeaux, minister of St. Silas's Church►
has paid to the treasurer of the Penitentiary, a Bank of
England note for £5, No. 02 189, which was sent to bins
anonymously, in June, 1845, and intended for a person
for whose benefit he could not conscientiously apply it.
Having failed to discover by whom it was sent, be has
given it as above.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGSI
THE JEWS.—The ennual sermon for this society in SI:
l3arnabas', which had to be postponed on the evening of
Sunday, the 20th inst., owing to the indispo-ition of the
Rev. T. Nolan, was preached by him on Sunday morning
last, and a collection made of £l5 12s. towards the funds
of the society.
FURS.—We were not a little surprised in visiting, t
few days since, the fur-manufactory of Mr. Ireland, 01
Bold-street. There are few in Liverpool, we believer
that did not conceive us to be dependent on London fa,
manufactured furs; but if they examine the extent of
these premises, they will find that the growing importance
of Liverpool is spreading in this as in every other branch
of business so rapidly, that we may even shortly surpt.ds
the metropolis itself in extent while the economy With
which the country manufacturers work, has fully demon'
strated their ability to supply really good, articles at $
price that cannot be competed with. Mr. Ireland hat
just completed many extensive alterations, and though
we may not be warranted in saying that it is the molt
extensive concern out of London, we are perfectly justi-
fied in saying that the retail establishment is unequalled
in beauty or facility by any in town ; indeed, those of our
fair readers who may be provided for the chilling cold.
of the coming winter would do well to visit this establish•
went, for if extent or variety be any promoter to a par"
chase, each will be found in this establishment.

the principle of the " Exposition Nationale," lately held in Pa-
ris, Mr. JOHN CRIPPS has the honour of announcing to the
Nobility, Gentry, and Visitors in Liverpool and its vicinity,
that his plans are now complete, and that with the aid of ap-
pointed Foreign Agents, and at an immense outlay of capital,
he has brought together an assemblage of Shawls, Scarfs, &c.,
of truly regal splendour and magnificence, in India, Chinese,
Persian, French, German, Swiss, and British Manufacture,
from the real Cashmere, at Fifty Guineas, to the useful Nimes
And Paisley, at One Guinea ; together with several hundred
new and beautiful Mantles, Visites, &c., from the first houses

PICTURP: FRAVES.
it
WE direct the especial attention of all persons
interested on this subject, to the frames for pictures,
Thanithictnrel by Mr. Ilielefie!il. Th-y are of papier inarhe ;
and the advantages they possess over the ordinary composition
frarnes, are so strong and so numerous. that they must, inevi-
tably, be brought into general use. First, they are deeper;
text, they will not "chip" in carriage; and next, they are so
much lighter in weight, as to supply an important item in their
favour to those whiiare in the habit of transmitting large pic-
tures from one p'ace to another, This remarkable "lightness"
rIR, indeed, desirable everyw:iere; for in many rooms, w'iere
e walls are thin or aged, it is impossib!e to hang large pic-
vincialnres in the usually ponderous frames. To exhibitors in pro-
exhihition4 these are no ordinary recommendations.-
ut we refer chiefly to the appearance of these frames, which
Interests the collector as well as the iv•tist, and, indeed, all per-
. !Zs who adorn their homes with pictures or prints, he they
i:IY Or They look exceedingly attractive, and are, in
alit as much so as if they had passed through the hands of
in7"3"ver.nuil been produced at ten times the expense. The gild-
e tells with very brilliant eff,ct ; and no matter how elaborate
`n,e pattern luay he, they have a cleanness and sharpness that
tharve tileldilm or ever seen obtained in. composition. Now
so ninny frames will b. required for the prints about to he
convey by theneveral Art-Union societies, we conceive we may
tflt_vey useful information to thousands; by recommending
_e,n to examine these frames; the patterns are infinitely va-
Z"; some have been designed expressly to meet these parti-
"l Durpos.s; and their advantages are so obvious as to be at
~ge appreciated by all by whom they are seen."—The Art
pion,Nov.,Nov.lB42.

OBSERVE,—This exhibition is on a scale unknown in the his-
tory of the Shawl Trade: parties will at a glance be enabled to
select Shawls, displayed under their different classifications
from those narts of the world where these luxurious and indis-
pensable articles of Ladies' costume are manufactured.
Amidst the importation of Mantles will be found 3 boxes
"Les Visites." New shapes and trimmings. designed by Ma-
dame Payan, Rue Vivienne' Paris, in rich Brocade Silk, Wa-
tered Ducape, " Armure" Satin,' Velvet, &c., from One to
Three Guineas.

SOLE AGENT FOR
HUDSON'S CELEBRATED MILK PUNCH,
a beverage allowed to be unequalled, either as a stimulant or ns
a refreshing and exhilirating Cordial, by any Liqueur extant.
The multifarious encomiums that have been bestowed on it
by the Provincial and Metropolitan Press, and the high, distill-
guished, and daily increasing patronage it is receiving, are
sufficient guarantees of its excellence. The following passages
are, however, culled from a few of. the paragraphs in its praise
" A most delicious rompound."—lferald.
" The patronage of the highest lady in the land has been ex-.
tended to it."—lponp.vilire Advertiser.
" It speaks volumes for her taste."—Punch.
" It combines the sweetness of the grape, the fragance of the
I mom, and the exhilirating qualities of champagne."—Liverpool
Ceittrier.

CONCENTRATED DECOCTION OF FLUID EXTRACT OF THE

JAMAICA SA".-ICA A•P ARILLA.
THIS most efficient and agreeable preparation of
that well known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SAR-
SAPARILLA, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific method,
by which the whole of the aromatic and wont i'e parts are' pre-
served ; and the experience of many years has fully established
the reputation of this Medicine, as containing more of the vir-
tues of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial ef-
fects have been particularly striking in the following com-
plaints :—Nocturnrnal Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous En-
largment of the Glands, Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheu-
matisms, &c., &C. ; in freeing the system after a course of
Mercury, its beneficial effects are very powerful. It purifies
the blood, and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy and
regular action, it removes . that disposition to Erysipilatous
. Illation, from which so many persons periodically suffer;
and when taken in the Spring and Fall of the Year as an Altera-
tive Medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the
constitution which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good aPpe-
tite, and freshness of the complexion.
Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIESTLEY, 52, Lord-
street, Liverpool, in bottles at I Is., 225., and 335. per bottle.
N.B.—For the convenience of parties in the country. box.B
are safely packed up. containing Two 22-shillingbottles for .k 2,
and Cases equal to Five for .t-5, upon receipt of a Post-office
order.—The Preparation will keep in any climate.

" Hudson's Milk Punch leaves all other libationt at an im-
measurable distance "—Sun.

" As delicious a mixture as ever passed the palate of great
Jove himself."—Mer!pool Albion.
" More easily imagined than described."—Kentish Observer.
" Decidedly the most delicious cordial ever tasted."—

" It combines everything that is congenial to the constitu-
tion."—Stm.
