STATE OF TRADE.

MANCEIRSTER.—The dullnes4 which prevailed last week in
the yarn market still continues; and pur-hasers, expecting a
further decline in cotton, will not buy, except at very low ',rives,
which, however, the spinners were not quite so much inclined
to accept yesterday as during the; last week. In the goods mar-
ket there-is very little charge to notice: business, considering
the season of the year, is not brisk; but that probably arising,
in some degree, from the great accumulation of goods in the
hands of the carriersduring the frost. which has prevented them
from undertaking the conveyance of those recently delivered,
and has thuchada strong tendency to prevent fresh purchases.
—Guardian.

N OTTING H A st.—We are sorry to say that things do not im-
prove; on the contrary, every thing is very flat; and the late
trade, especially during the last ten o,,vs, has been nearly at a
stand. We have heard, and ac fe,ir, from too good authority to
be discredited, that a bill has been introduced into the Ameri-
can legislature, imposing a duty a 25 per cent on foreign
manufactured silks.. this be true, it will be a heavy blow to
blond laces, and to the sill: hosiery And glove trades; a hich.
together, form so important a portion of Nuttingham nmnu-
facture.—Nuttinyitant Reuiew.

THE I-1 A ND-COOkl WEAVING DISTItICTS.—We are glad to
learn, that in consequence of the impetus given to trade by ihe
c,pening, of the canals, the hand-loom weaving trade of Pad iham,
Colne, Burnley, Ste. has been somewhat more brisk. and that,
generally speaking, the people eve employed. The wueq,
however, are low; and the weavers a,e raj,idiv bejnniti.%
make the discovery, that their trade, having t;) compete w:th
steatn potter, is not, and•cannot be, a remutierlaing occupation.
—Preston Chionicle,

LE ICI,STER TRADE.—The demand for goods is -dull; and the
absence of Amer ludo orders is seriously felt. The finer s „I, of
combing wools ver% scarce, and fetch go.rrl prices; but
the lower kinds and short %%orris arr. a trill- flatter. The farmers
continue firm holders at:3Bs. to 4Us. ; but little is doing in lots.

mm ket has been dull to-day, and less business has been done;
but prices have been. steady.- The wool market also continues
flat, and the manufacturers buy merely for immediate use.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

Mr. HUME.—The hon. member states what is not correct.
(Cries of " blear, hear," and " Chair.") He was not out of
order, and roust call for the authority of the chair to protect
him from the disorderly conduct of disorderly gentlemen oppo-
site. ( Hear and laughter.)
Lord STANLEY said the hon. member was clearly out of order.
He could not rise to make a motion whilst a question before the
house was not decided.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought they were all
out of order.
The SPEAK ER repeated that the better way would be to with-
draw the petition, for the sake of regularity.
Mi. HOME again rose amidst a scene of great confusion.
He wished to rebut an impertinent observation of the hon.
member opposite. (Order, order, chair, chair. )
The SPEAKER was sure the hon. ireinber for Kilkenny must
be aware that he was using language that was not sanctioned
by the house. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. HOME.—WeII, then, if the word impertinent is unpar-
liamentary, I will sav improper observation. (" Hear, hear,"
and " Order, order.'") The hon, member attempted agai❑ to
address the house, but was unable to succeed.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL then withdrew the petition.
IRISH POUR LAWS.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he should procead with the Irish poor-
law hill on Friday.
On the motion of the Marquis of CHANDOS, certain papers

THE LIVERPOOL PILOT&

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL'STANDARD.
SIR,—Through the medium of your valuable paper, permit
me to inform the public that Mr. John Bibby, at a late common
council meeting, passed- a very severe censitre:on the whole'
body of pilots, for the, faults of a few. Mr 'Bibby also asserted
that the pilots were. a 'very inefficient body of men—that they
can do nothing without steam-packets. Now,, for the informa-
tion of the public, Mr. Bibby seldom has a vessel towed in by
steam, and his outward-bound vessels never employ steamers
but for his own convenience, that is, when he has advertised
them to sail as packets, on a particular day, which, may be
calm or with foul winds; they also frequently leave the dock
with nothing clear or ready to work the ship, which makes it
necessary to have a steamer. lam astonished that a gentleman
like Mr. John Bibby does not know better, for he Ought to
know that pilots have nothing to do with employing steamers;
they are frequently employed a week -before the pilot takes
charge of the vessel, when outward bound, and, when inward
bound, the pilots cannot or dare not employ a steam-vessel
without orders from the captain or some person in authority.
I coniider what Mr. Bibby has stated of the incompetency of
the pilots generally a very unhandsome and unwarrantable
censure on the pilots as a body, and well calculated to injure
them in the estimation of the public,—l am, &c.,

hoped it would be the last." Poor Sir ".Dead for a

RADICAL DISAPPOINTMENT.—The members of the radical

In answer to a question from the Marquis of CHANDOS,
Lord Joux RUSSELL said, that while Lord Durham was at
St. Petersburg he received the salary or an ambassador; and
the expenses of the noble lord, in his mission to Canada, would
be paid by the country as the expenses of a special mission.
He would receive no salary while iu Canada.

In answer to a question from Mr. O'CONNELL,
Mr. P. THorasoN stated, that the English ambassador had

trusted that the additional impost would not be persisted in.
Mr. HumEthen moved as a resolution, "That the appoint-
ment of the lion. Mr. Primrose to the office of castier and
receiver-general of the postoffice revenues in Scotland, being
a person not previously employed in the post-office department,

ral, in 1831, injurious to the public service, and prejudicial to
the interests of the established clerks and officers in the post-
office establishment.

amendment was rejected by ,t majority of 121 to 11.
Several sums were then voted fur the different branches of
the service, after which the chairman reported progress, and
asked leave to sit again on Wednesday. Adjourned.

THE FIGURE AND ORNAMENTAL DRAWING AND MODELLING

DE PA IiTNI EN T

Continues under the superintendence of Mr. Seddon, and
consists of 26 pupils. '['he average Attendance is 14. A decrease
has taken place in this class also, and the remarks made of the
architectural class apply with equal prom iety to this department.
The teacher ascribes the falling off in the number, and atten-
tion of his pupils to the deficiency in the supply of casts, models,
&c. to draw from, which has distiouraged the pupils. The direc-
tors have taken some steps to remove this well-founded com-
plaint. At the same time they recommend to their successors
to make further inquiries into the present state of this class, and
to devise some means that will place it on a footing with the
other classes in the institution.
In the ornamental department some specimens are placed be-
fore you, creditable to both the master and the pupils. The
directors, however. lament that there are so few who have been
deemed worthy of competing for the prizes offered. They hope
their successors will be enabled to give to the next annual
meeting a very different report of this class than that which
they feel compelled to lay before you.

THE ORNAMENTAL PAINTING DEPARTMENT
Continues under the superintendence of Mr, William Bishop,
Member of the Liverpool Academy. At the opening of the new
institution, this class consisted but of eight pupils. It has
since increased to twenty-five—the average attendance about
twenty. Although the scarcity of casts and models has operated
against this class also, it continues to increase in number.
The pupils are principally painters, young men from 16 to 18
years of age, who ardently desires to obtain knowledge; there-
fore their conduct is excellent, and their progress-1n spite of

•
all obstacles—has been great, as the specimens submitted to
this meeting fully testify.
It is with great pleasure the directors are enabled to commu-
nicate that they have secured the services of Mr. Bishop, as
drawing master ►n the high school. After the Ist of April the
whole time of ►his excellent artist will be devoted to this institu-
tion, and they feel satisfied that the progress of the pupils in the
the several departments under ➢lr. Bishop's care will be such as
to justify their choice and the opinion they entertain of his
talents as a teacher and an artist.
THE ENGLISH AND WRITING DEPARTMENT,
Under the Rev. Mr. Rutherford and Mr. Emerson, was establish-
ed in January lasi, and has already shown symptoms of becom-
ing one of the most important classes in the institution.
Seventy-eight pupils are enrolled on the school list; the average
attendance is about forty. The pupils are taught reading,
spelling, grammar, derivations, geography, and writing. They
take great interest in their studies, and are quiet, orderly, and
atteutive.

Sermons preached in the Parish Chafe!! of Mendle-
sham, Suffolk,- by the Rev. Henry Thomas Day,
L.L.8., Vicar. London : Painter.
These sermons, though issued from the office of "The
Churchman," ate characterised by a very different
spirit. The praiseworthy zeal, and the anxious desire
for the spiritual welfate of his charge, which are dis-
played in this volume, are truly commendable. The
sermons are chiefly of a practical character. The sub-
jects are " Paul's Commission''—"Christ the Demon-
stration of God's Power and Wisdom"—"The Building
of the Spirit"—"Tire teaching of Grace"—" Chris-t
the Bread of Life"—" The Baptism of the Holy Soirit"
—" For the Freed Slave"—"The Confession of God"—
" The Chief Object"—" The State of the diSembodied
Spirit"—" The Love of the World incompatible with
our Calling"—" The Danger of Procrastination"—
" Christ our all"—" The Recompense of Heavenly
Love"—" Life is a perpetual Trial"—and Christ the
Way." The style of this voinme is concise and forcible.
The sentiments ate strictly evangelical. We wish the
work every success.

GENTLEMEN,
ir Beg leave to return you my sincere and warmest thanks for
1 the honour you have conferred upon me, by ELECTING
me to the suruATiox of APOTHECARY to your bene-
volent Institution, and I hope by assiduity and sedulous atten-
tion to those duties which will devolve upon me, to merit that
confidence which you have so kindly reposed in me.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen
Your most obli'ed and humble servant,

intend to meet on the 19th day of March instant, at Twelve of

THE CHEMICAL CLASS,

Under the superintendence of Mr. John Wilson, consists of
thirty-six pupils, who are most exemplary in their conduct and
display more than an ordinary desire to obtain a knowledge of
the delightful science of chemistry, which has become of such
vast importance to this town, in a commercial point of view,
and which Mr. Wilson is so capable of conveying to his pupils.
This interesting class meets every Thursday evening, and the
lectures and instructions delivered on these occasions are
amongst the greatest of the attractions which bind the pupils to
the evening department of the institution.
Mr. Wilson's talents as a teacher have been so highly appre-
ciated by the directors that they feel most happy in having been
able to obtain his services as principal master of the chemical
departinera in the high school, and they trust his exertions will
spread still wider a taste for this valuable science.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL CLASS,
Under the superintendence of Mr. Phillips, has been established
too recently and has been subject to so many interruptions
in consequence of the ill health of the master that the directors
are obliged to confine themselves to the expression of a hope
that this class will ere long prove useful and efficient. , At
present it is not numerous, but the few who do attend have ex-
pressed the pleasure they have derived from the lectures of Mr.
Phillips.

THE FRENCH CLASS,
Under the superintendence of Mons. Theodore Eugene Sulint,
Principal of the French Department, in the High School, was
commenced about the middle of January last; it, already con-
sists of thirtv-ftur pupils, some of whom are rather irregular in
-their attendance, the others, about two-_thiTdi' of the whole,
have been punctual, diligent, and attentive, and have made
very satisfactOry progress.

- ti ILE AGO.

BY L. E. L.

Still hangeth down the old accostom'd willow,
Hiding, the silver underneath each leat.
So droops the long hair from some maiden pillow,
When midnight heareth the else silent grief;
There floats the water-lily', like a sovereign
Who'se lovely empire is a fairy world,
The put.ple dragon-fly above it hovering,
As when its fragile ivory uncurl'd

A long %v bile ago.

I hear the bees in sleepy music winging
From the wild thyme when they have past the noon—
There is the blackbird in the hawthorn singing,
Stirring the white spray with the same sweet tune ;
Fragrant the tansy breathing from the meadow,
As the west wind bends down the long greeu grass,
Now dark, now golden, as the fleeting shadow
Of the light clouds pass as they wont to pass
A long while ago.

There are the roses which we used to gather
To bind a youn,g fair brow no longer fair ;
Ah ! th.nt art mocking us, thou summer weather,
To be so sunny with the loved one !—Where ?
'Tis not her voice—'tis not her step—that lingers
In lone familiar sweetness on the wind ;
The bee, the bird are now the only singers—
Where is the music once with theirs combined
A long while ago ?
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1838-03-16

As the lorn flowers that in her pale hands perish'd
Is she who only hath a memory here :
She was so much a part of us, so cherished—
So young, that even love forgot' to fear,
Now is her image paramount, it reigneth
With a sad strength that time niuy not subdue;
And memory a mournful triumph gaineib,
As tne slot looks we cast around renew

A. long while ago.

Thou lovely garden ! where the summer covers
The tree with green leaves, and the ground with flowers ;
,Darkly the past around thy beauty hovers—
The past—the grave of our once happy hours.
It is too bad to gaze upon the seeming
Of nature's changeless loveliness, and feel
That with the sunshine round, the heart is dreaming
Darkly o'er wounds inflicted, not to heal,
A long while ago.
