TO CORRESPONDENTS

The letter from our correspondent at Birmingham has been re-
ceived, and shall have our best attention.
The Advertisement, " Sale of Property in Crow ton," was not
received until the morning of the 16th instant. For this ilea-
son it could not appear in our Friday's paper.
" A Ship Carpenter" will perceive that we have suggested a
plan which would obviate the unpleasantness to which be
alludes.
"Ben Jonson's Sons" which appeared in our paper last
week, should have been quoted from that interesting work
" Shakspeare and his Times."

TUESDAY MOILVING, JUNE 19, 1838.

ezr The Publication of the STAN DA Rp commenced this morn-
ing of 5 o'cloi•k.

THE UNITED STATES.—By the Sheffield, which ar-
rived here on Sunday morning, we have received New
York papers to the 27th ultimo. The news brought by
these papers is not of great importance. The commer-
cial affairs of the union seem to be improving. The
banks of New York were enlarging their discounts,
which had given an impulse to trade. The Treasury
Notes Bill, the object of which was to relieve the pecu-
niary embarrassments of the executive, had been passed
by the Congress and received the royal assent of the
President. The House of Representatives had received
for their consideration several important communications
relating to the north eastern boundary—a subject whlch
is likely to prove a source of protracted excitement,both
in the United States and in the British colonies..
The Prince de Joinville had arrived at Boston, and
was treated with great hospitality.

A destructive the had occurred at Albany; but confla-
grations of an extensive character happen so frequently
in the States that they almost cease to excite any curio-

Tice following may be quoted as the most important
commercial extracts :

(From the Courier and Enquirer, May 26.)
EXCHANGE.—The transactions for the packets of the 24th
closed at 7 a 71 per cent. premium on England; frs. 5 35 on
France; 39 a S9l ets. on Ho:laud; 378 cts. on Hamburg, and
771 a7B cts. on Bremen.
FREIGHTS—To Liverpool the packets continue to fill at our
previous quotations, a first class ship was however taken up
yesterday at 7-161 for square, and id for round bales cotton.
To Havre engagements have been made at a 1 c.
MONEY MARKET, &c., MAY 26.—The stock market rallied a
good deal yesterday, and a larger business was done, generally
at an advance of 4a 14 per cent, United States Bank sold at
1l94; Phenix Bank, 1051; Del. and Hudson, 801; Harlem.
Railroad, 61U ; Stoaington, 40, and Boston and Providence
1034. Morris Canal declined to 71. Sales were also made of
"Vicksburg Bank at 73/, end Bank of Kentucky at 93. Trea-
sury Notes 4 a 4 per cent. discount, and 6 per cent. do par.

_ .
A Convention of the South Carolina and Georgia Banks are,
we learn, to meet at Charleston on Tuesday next, when the
banks of that city have resolved to propose to the convention,
that a resumption of specie payments should take place on the
Ist November next.

The Suffolk Bank of Boston has agreed to receive for thirty
days, from the Associated Banks, the fractional bills of these
banks whose notes they redeem, fur the purpose of withdrawing
them from circulation.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET, MAY 15.--We yesterday
received, by express mail via New York, Liverpool accuunts to
April 9th, being two days later than those received by steam-
ship,Great Western ; and, although of an unfavourable nature,
our market keeps firm in prices for all kinds, but not so much
doing. We note a sale of 350 bales middling fair Tennessees,
at 9 is per lb , and a few other small lots were sold at our quo-
tations. A belief gains ground here, that the U.S. Bank, front
the various ways her agents raise funds and ask time for the cot-
ton they purchase, she intends monopolizing the balance of the
crop in this country, at the same time get her agents to speculate
in Europe, being, no doubt, carried away by the es,imates
of 16 a 1,650,000 bales. We, however, feel confi.ient, it will
turn out 1,800,000 hales by the Ist of October, having now re-
ceived in the ports 1,530.000, and a large quantity left in the
interior, which will now come in, from the late rise of water and
good prices quoted, Louisiana and Mississipi, 71 a 14c ex-
tremes, fair 11 a Ili; Tennessee. and N. Alabamas, 7 a 12c.,

Lawrence,
CANADA.—The New York papers furnish us with eery
little news from Canada. It appears from the folkviring
extract that the Earl of Durham had arrived at the moult
of the St. Lawrence :
"ARRIVAL OF THE EARL OF DCIIFIAM. in. Forrest, of
the schooner Albion, from St. John's, N.V., and Halifax, states,
that a brig of war, which accompanied the Hastings, 74, front

General of Canada, arrived at Halifax previous to the 16th inst.

Arichat. Captain Frost also states, that the ice extends along
the shore, north of Halifax, for upwards of sixty leagues. 'He
has been familiarly acquainted with the ecwst for twenty years,
and has never before seen it look so formidable a.
. this season o
the year,"—Boston. Adcertixer.

We presume that no person can or will be surprised,
after what they hare seen or heard, at any act of folly
perpetrated by our present rulers, nor at any " blow"
which they may aim at the Established Church, to satisfy
the rapacious demands of those hard and inflexible task-
masters, the Popish and radical members of Parliament,
upon whose fo3tid breath they depend fur continuance in
office.

Finding that their attacks upon our national establish-
ment have signally failed—that thew have covered then
with disgrace and defeat, and have well nigh perined
their political existence—that England, in its length and
breadth, is rising in indignation at their tieachery, anti

eiPtralt

at.-&:;ery -.:iiccessive election rejecting the ctintr,:late who

dares to avow that his principles are iri accordance with
theirs--the only door left-open for them through which
to w'pond ±he church is either in Ireland or in the colo-
nies- Chained down to their bargain with relentless vi-
gour, I.lle Allies of ministers insist upon the fulfilment of
thn " aompact :" the pound of flesh must be given, whe-
tiler she life-blood of office flows or not. The Church in
Ireland, which is part and parcel of the Church of Eng-
land, as that church is part and parcel of the Church of
Christ, stands in. the way of Papal absolutism, and it
must he removed or destroyed before Father can
hreartha,in, freedom, or the " bachelors" of Maynooth
not in the filthy and damnable questions with which, in
pursuance of the education they receive in that English-
paid college, they are required to insult the chastity of
every nation, and familiarize to indecency every fair
daughter of Papal Ireland ; and to obtain this end no
Means arc spued. O'Connell himself, powerful as he is,
would he nothing in one week but an old barrister, with
around hat and a seedy wig, if the 'Popish priests of
Ireland pleased to pull him down, or if his political de-
struction were necessary for the good of their church
raid the advancement of their pernicious and arbitrary
doctrines; and if these same spiritual gentlemen, who
can flourish a horsewhip at-tire host ings as dextrously as
hey can fulminate a curse against the poor peasant who
dares to vote against " tire church" should choose'to
turn her Majesty's ministers out of the well-stuffed
couelles in Downing-street, Lord Palmerston might curl
his whiskers and write protocols in Hampshire--Lord
Gleneig snore in Ondisturbed peace each rosy morn, un-
til this northern hemisphere had got. well aired, and the
widoW's mite would have leisure to add to Russell's
History of England a few pages, in which he might, with
admirable propriety, chronicle his own political abortions.
But Wit4t won't a whiss do
.to retain office ? Sacrifice
Principle ? Bah! With spendthrift prodigality they Wye
expended all they had, and they are now obliged to bor-
row every grain from their noble-minded antagonists,—
Sacrifice the church? Aye, to-morrow; if it would save
their places! And they must soon do the bidding of
PoPery, if they would have its support, for Popery can-
riot flourish where Protestantism exists in full vigour,—
nor can the MiniStry exist an hour if Popery blows upon
it with its withering breath. Let the thirty-nine joints
Of the tail be lapped off, and where is the ministry with
tmjnrity of 20—and that, decreasing at every election
They would he gone to that obscurity from which most of
them ought never to have emerged, and which will be a
great national: blessing whenever it occurs again.
Our readers may prepare, in a short time, to hear that
these wretched officials, not being able to injore the esta-
blishment at home, will attempt to withdraw the whole
or part of the grant made to the Established Church in
Canada, when it is P. well-known fact that that country
is at present most scantily supplied wtill religious teach-
ers—that vast tracts of country have not a single pastor,
and that it is the refuge of the vast numbers of Irish
Protestants, who annually emigrate thither to escape
from the'persecotions which they coffer at home.
The-abotninable Scheme will be introduced when the
ColofriaVEStianirtes are brought forward, and it behoves
our Conservative Senatoralo be on the watch. Their
ifirhads must lie strengthend by the constituency,' and pe-
titions most be forwarded without delay against such a
measure of injustice.. Will it be believed that a Popish
bishop andsa numerous staff are maintained in Canada
at the expense of the British Government, to propagate
that creed which has sworn hostility to her institutions,
and yet, that a most insufficient grant is about to be de-
creased or swept away altogclit.er, when Popish treach-
ery has ended in Canadian rebellion, and that colony
saved to the Crown of Great Britain only by the devoted
loyalty of those Protestant subjects whose spiritual des-
titution is disregarded and their earnest appeals re-
jected ?, `Ye trust that the poor Irish Protestant whose
aeahin is Mired—whose •property is.destrOyed—who
.o'lictaof persecution, and is often hunted over his na-
Aive,Thountains at the imminent peril of his life, and w.bo
is obliged to flee from the land of his forefathers to seek
that,peace.which Ire looks-for in vain at home—may ne-
yrn- pine in misery and spiritual destitution in a far sue-,
Cant land, cutoff from communion with tire Church, arid
separated :se a is' forest of 50 or CO miles in extent
from the re.,,,est place of worship, in order that
‘N retched administration may be kept in office—that the
iusatiable maw of Rome may be filled—and that the life-
blood of England may be drawn away.

Petitions are being prepared in several towns against
a withdrawal of the grant to the:Clmrch in Canada, and
we hope that Liverpool will not lag behind. The sub-
ject is both 'interesting and important. How can re-.
speetable Dissenters permit a government to make na-
tional grants to support the Papal Church, and yet with-
,iraw it from one which is accordaht with Scripture?
They say Popery is liberal—is democratic. Yes! where
she is weak, as in England. But is she liberal where
she is strong ? Let the Protestant peasantry expelled
from the Tyrol, because they refused conformity to the
Romish Church, and who are at this moment driven from
their own land at the mandate of the Vatican—let them,
we say, answer the question.

THE CORONATION.—We have repeatedly expressed
our hopes that the event of the coronation of our gracious
Queen Victoria—an event so interesting in its character
to every loyal subject—would be celebrated with all the
pomp and circumstance which it deserves in this large
commercial town : and we are glad to find that there, is,
at length, some prospect that our expectations will be
realized, and that Liverpool, which has been always
foremost in mercantileentet prise, will signally maintain
that respectable station which its inhabitants have a right
to claim, itLgiving expression to their devoted attach-
ment to the throne.

Out readers will have perceived that resolutions have
been passed for the purpose of making the celebration of
the day worthy of the town. But resolutions alone are
not sufficient. There must he the most active exertions
and the most liberal donations for the purpose of carrying
those resolutions into effect. As yet, we find that little,
comparatively, has been done; but when we take into
consideration the ► ery numerous and respectable list of
gentlemen who are appointed as a committee for conduct-
ing the festivities of the day, we have not the slightest
doubt that a sum commensurate with the exigencies of
tit" occasion will be speedily col!ected.
We are glad to observe that the Mayor has issued a
teenmmendation that all business should be suspended,
as much as possible, for the day. "This is just as it should
be." Allclasses should have an equal ol•portnnity afforded
ttlem for joining in the celebration. The various trades,
q's, societies, &c., of the town are also invited to join
q the procession—a call which we feel confident will be
141-411ptly obeyed. It is. likewise to be hoped that each
Ivard will muster strongly on the occasion, and produce
splendid display .of banners. We would. strenuously
advise the intermix•ure of the party colours as much as
l'nssible, as that would tend to obviate any unnecessary
expression of political feeling on the part of those who
liAglit be mere spectators of the procession. in assigning
the order in which the various trades, clubs, &c., are to
March, we would suggest that the ballot should be
"opted. This wiil satisfy all parties that no undue pre-
fe'elfee its given to any particular class, and will do away
"ith any feeling of jealousy which might exist.
As the time for collecting subscriptions is so very short,
it is advisable that all who intend contributing towards
the " Coronation Fund" should come forwards as soon
Pn3sible, in order that there may be no (I,day in per-
"`lnf; all the arrangements. While upon this subject,
we would suggest that all the innkeepers and licensed
ikictuallets should open a subscription list in each of their
,'"ses'• We are convinced that a very large fund might
derived in aid of the fund by this means. Would it
not be also proper in every large establishment in town
to have a separate collection for the same purpose ?
`lre sure that, even among the operative classes, many
would be found willing to contribute their mite in aid of
:rin object so truly loyal in its nature.

CoNsErivATivE TatumPus.—Within a few days, four
fresh elections have taken Dlace, in consequence of vacan-
cies arising froindifirent causes, and, in every case, the
f.onset vaiive:s have wen successful. In Dungannon, the

Iron. Mr. Knox w.v.= retUrto>,l without any oprsitiol.
lii the county of Inverness, also, a conservative has been
returned without a contest. in Li nlithgowshire the fol
lowing was tie final close of the poll :
Rope (Conservative) 330
Johnson (Whig)

Conservative majority .

The poll at-, MAidstone closed in favour of Mr. Fec for
who was unseated in consequence of the petition recent-
ly promoted against him. The numbers were—
Mr. Fector (Conservative)
Mr. Rob arts [Whig)

Conservative majority

We look upon this last election as a most decided tri-
umph. To April last, Mr. Fector was retuned by a ma-
jority of 123 only—liow his majority is nearly doubled.
If this be not a proof of reaction, we do not know what
can be considered as such.

In the last important decision which took place in the
House of Commons, the ministerial majority was only
twenty. The newly returned conservatives will diminish
that majority to sixteen, and yet it is a favourite boast of
the radical press, that the ministers have "an excellent
working majority !" What this majority Will be after the
coronation, we shall soon have an opportunity of judging.
That it will be materially diminished, we have not the
slightest doubt. ' ' •

RAILWAY SPEED.—The• Son engine, which brought down
the seven o'clock train from- Manchester, on Friday night, ac-
complished the distance-31 miles to the-mouth of the tunnel—
in the short space of 41 imputes.. This is at the rate of one!
mile in 80 seconds, or of- 45 miles per hour.
MottE FEATS IN STEAAL—We have latterly perceived in the
papers, various reports, ostentatiously put forward as "un-
rivalled steam-packet," " unprecedented speed," " unparalleled
expedition;" but none of them, we belive, have exceeded the
usual speed of the Ocean steamer, which sails weekly between,
this port • amid Qiikr:lt': we understand that she made the voyage-
last week, Wenee jo the latter port, a distance of nearly 300
miles, in the short space of 23 hours.—Albion.

PASSENGERS room THE UNITED STATES.—The number of
.gentlemen and ladies visiting ..Europe this year is unprecedent-.
edly great. Not less than 590 had or would leave the States
for this country between the lst of May and the Ist of June.'
The Monongahela, .whiclEarriyed on Saturday, from Philadel-;
phia, had fifty-cabin passengers ; and the Sheffield, which ar-
rived on Sunday, from New York, was full. The Sheridan
and Columbus, , vhich were to sail on the Ist instant, had all
their berths engaged. The approaching ceremony of the coro-
nation of the Queen has doubtlyss, attracted many visitors from
the western continent..

IMPORTANT To THE TIMBER TRADE.—It is mu-inured that
since the New Zealand scheme has been in agitation, Mr. P.
Thompson has consented to admit spars for ship purposes from
thence free of duty, provided they are more than 70 feet long,
the Riga spars seldom exceeding that length. Heretofore it
was understood that no spars of that description should be ad-
mitted at a less duty than fixed to be paid on Riga spars, on the
ground that none other of the size and length requisite, and of
equal quality for the navy, could be elsewhere supplied.

CRICKET.—In, consequence of the unsettled state of the wea-
ther, the match between !he Liverpool and Wavertree clubs,
which was to have come off yesterday, on the Liverpool ground,
is postponed tilt Thursday week. ,

THE BROUGHAM INSTITUTE.—The half-yearly meeting of the
members of this institute was held on Thursday evening, in the
lecture-room, which .was tolerably well filled. Mr.' Lawrence
Heyworth was in the chair. After the reading of the report se-
veral resolutions were moved nod seconded by Mr. Acland, Mr.
Walter Smith,' the Rev. Mr. Martineau, Mr. Gaiter, Mr. H. T.
Atkinson, the Bev. Mr. Giles, and Mr. Lewin. Mr: L. Hey-
worth was re-elected as president.
THE ZOOLOGICAE. GARDENS.—Mr. Atkins has again been
unfortunate in the weather. We shall begin to think his an-
nouncements of a gala as good as a weather glass, and to
cafe rain as surely as the pointer of the barometerwhen it points
at the watery word. Owing to the heavy rain yesterday the
gala has been put off to to-night, weather permitting, or the first
fine evening. -01coul se it will rain to-night.
THE THEATREaCiY AL.—Last evening, Mademoiselle Celeste
commenced het•nngagement of 10 nights at this theatre, in the
drama, writtten we believe expressly for her, entitled, " St.
Mary's Eve." ,Her acting in this drama is singularly beautiful
—it is bold yet chaste; and there is a touching sweetness in her
French pronunciation whilst supplicating for the life of a bro-
ther. As a dancer she is second, only, we believe to Tagiieni.
For our own part We.do not admire the operatic style of dancing,
nor any sort of dancing which would put us to the blush that
we. had brought a lady to witness it ; nor do we much envy the
taste of the admirers of Kieft. There will however be professors
of it so low, as it is patronised. So far as grace of motion, flexi-
bility of limb, and agility go, Mademoiselle Celeste is an extra-
ordinary dancer. But it is in her acting we most admire her,
and in which we think her chief excellence now rests, for ex-
cellent as her dancing' is, we think it on the wane. The house
was ia very good one. , _

SCHOOL .LICAMINATION.—At the examination of Messrs-
Sorley's classical and conitnercial'sehool, Great George-street
yesterday, prizes were presented to the fttllowing young gentle
'non, fur superior excellence in their respective classes, viz.:—
Masters . . Lenox, William B. Hilton, Thomas B.
Robertson, John N. Clarke. Arthur Sinclair, Allan Morison.
Henry Walthew,Gordon Badentirh, Uhar!,-s Bolton, Louis H.
Hernitz,.and Jano>s R. Boyl, Liverpool ; jocelyn A. Mackay,
Beech neat'. Ltirgan,coutity Apittigh; Georgeß. Grant,
Ba'rhados; Jmnesß. Sorley and B. Sorley, Glasgow.

ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH, KEY-STREET, LIVERPOOL—We
understand, that the Rev. J. Leighton Figgins, 8.A., Incutn-
bent'of Linthwaite, near Iluddelsfield, has been licensed by the
Bishop of this Diocese to the pastoral charge of the Church and
district of St Matthew's in this town: and will enter un his
ministrations, on Sunday the Bth Gf July next.
CHURCH PREFER MENT.—The Most Noble the Marquis of
Westminster has presented the Rev.Thonis r rancis Barker to
the living of Farndon, Cheshire.
The Dean of Chester, Dr. Davys. has refused the request of
the mayor and corporation for the use of the Cathedral, to cele-
brate a musical festival in aid of the Chester charities.
TABLET Ti) THE REVAVIII. THISTLETII TTE.—An elegant
marble tablet, which reflects great credit upon the sculptor, Mr.
W. Spence,. of Liverpool, was placed in St. George's Church,
Little Bolton, as a tribute of respect of the congregation to their
late pastor, the Rev. W. Thistlethwaite.
TOKEN OF RESPECT.—We have this week to record another
instance of esteem tir a clergyman. The ladies of Pendleton,
who have lately been confirmed by the bishop, have presented
the Rev. A. Lane with a handsome pocket communion service
—expressive of their gratitude ffsr his kind attentions to them,
and invaluable labours at ail times, but more especially during
the season preparatory to confirmation.

CONSECRATION.—On Saturday the bishop consecrated the
new church at Abram. His lordship was attended by the clergy
of the neighhourfioy. The sermon was read by the Reverend
Rector of Wigan, after which his lordship preached a most ad-
mirable and truly scriptural sermon.
The Old Quay Company's steam•boat made her first trip from
Manchester to Warrington on Thursday. No saving in point
of tune was effected.

LEEDS AND LIVERPOOL CANAL SHARES.—On Tuesday last
Arr. John Holnies, auctioneer, sold by auction four Leeds and
Lit,rpool Canal Shares, at the Hotel, and they each brought
To this add the duty, £l9 2s. ld., and the aggregate is
1:67,1 2s. Id.—aNery high price. Others were bought in at the
same rate.—Leeds Iraelligencer.

FISHER'S INK.—This is a most excellent invention, as it does
away with the necessity of any preparation of the cloth what-
ever: it may be used in the manner of common ink, and it is
indelible. We have seen it subjected to the severest tests.

THE NEW Pooh Laws.—The guardians of the out-townships
composing the Waii ington Union, have unanimously agreed to
petition both liruses of parliament for a repeal of such parts of
the new poor-law amendment act as renders it compulsory on
townships to become parts of unions. Lord Francis Egerton or
J. W. Patten, Esq., will present the petition to the commons.
and the Earl of.. Stanhope that to the House of Lords.
IDENTITY.—A man has been in custody for sometime at War-
rington on suspicion of being an escaped transport. In midi--
,tion to a very close resemblance to the description given in the
Hue and Cry. the prisoner admitted that he was the warty
"wanted." However, the old saying, " Better be born lucky
than rich,'' was, in this man's case, literally verified ; for on an
officer sent frOth the hulks at Sheerness seeing the accused, he
at once pronounced him not to be the titan of whom he was in
seaieli.• o.n Monday, the prisoner was brought before Mr.
Lyon, and discharged from custody, the woi thy magistrate giv-
ing him a trifle to help him on his way home.
THE Oarprisitit—LivEaroot. AND NI:W YORK STEAM-PACKET
COMPA.Ny.—Wriao the Leviathans and the Behemoths of the
steaming hemiriphere, are, with terrific force, puffing and blow-
jowl heir various projects into no:oriety ; at one time detailing
with intrenioustecainicality,-the amazing power and surprising
SN&lleti,Vof their' vt•ssek:—at another, with all becoming diffi-
dence, descanting,..in style most pithy, upini the great bulk of
experienve, gentlemanly attainments, and scientific acquire-
ments, which their commanders will carry with them across the
-Great Western Ocean; it affords us satisfaction • to state, that
the above popularly constituted establishment, (such has been
the great number of applications for shares,) will ere long be in
a position successfully to vie with their neighbours fur a portion
of public' favour. The command of its ships,' we know, will be
confided to men, who, (whether they be adjuncts of the "glo-
rious service," or members of •the " British Commercial Ma-
rine,") have in all respects proved themselves efficient for the
perfOrmance of so important a duty as that which will shortly
devolve upon them.
LADIES' BAZAAII.-0111' readers-will perceive, by the ad-
isauient, that the ladies' connected with the Weslevan Metho-
dist Schools, in Liverpool, intend holding a bazaar, in aid of those
institutions, 411 Tuesday, (this day,) to-morrow, Wednesday,
and Thursday; next, in the Exhibition-rooms. Post-office-place.
We understand that the mit' ibutions-of articles for the bazaar
will be on a very liberal scale; and doubt not, that the inhabit-
ants of our town and its visiters will avail themselves of-this
opportunity of gratifying their taste, as well as of affording
their support to the-Cause of the instruction of the riming gene-
ration. The Methodist schools were aiming some of the first in-
stituted in Liverpool, and have been the means of communi-
cating religious.and useful knowledge to many thousands of the
children of the poor and working classes. At this time the
number tinder instruction exceeds 3.500, the expense of whose
education amounts to little short. of ELMO per annum. The
income of the schools being found inadequate to meet such ex-
penditure, the ladies have been induced to resort to this measure
to supply thedeficiency: we sincerely hope their expectations
may be realized.
Nifr.oNt sits REMINISCENCES.—This is the title of a series of
naval sketches which have appeared in the Metropolitan May-
! (nine. Some of them appeared originally in the Albion., into
%A-filch others were copied from the shone periodical.--,These
sketches are great favourites with the American public, most of
them having been copied into the United States papeis The
popularity ()I' the "Reminiscences" has naturally excited
curs-
osity to ascertain the name of the writer, a curiosity- which we
shall take this Opportunity of gratifying. The author, then. of
Ne'snniall Reminiscences" is Lieutenant Parsons, li. N.,
who, after serving his King, and his country in the navy, and
principally in the scenes which his pen has sit (lovely depicted,
eornmanded, for several Years, the George the Fourth, steamer
between Liverpool and-Newry.' Mr. Parsons is a perfect gen-
tleman as well as a gallant Ake, ; and We feel great pleasure
in adding, that the author of " Nelsonian Reminisences" is a
resident of the good old town of Liverpool. May he continue
to enjoy life, health, and prosperity, and delight the world by
" L'Aghling•bis battles u'er again."—A/bion.
