COURT CIRCULAR

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The amusement on
the lake at Frogmore this afternoon was varied between
skating and sledge-driving. His Royal Highness Prince
Albert was accompanied to the lake by her Majesty (who
was looking remarkably well) and her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent.

The rumour is again revived, that it is more than probable
that Frogmore Lodge will be the future residence of her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.
A story is current at the Castle, that, when the Premier
was asked, yesterday, by. Prince Albert, if his lordship was
disposed to accompany the Prince to Frogmore, for an hour
or two's skating, the noble viscount replied, with a knowing
shrug of his dexter shoulder, " Why, the fact is, your royal
highness, I have had so much slippery work to get through
of late in Downing-street, that, while I am at the Castle, I
hope to enjoy a little relaxation. Your royal highness must,
therefore, be pleased to excuse me."

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN 7

The severity of the weather, hardens the nerves of holders of
Butter, and prices are looking up. There is not any alteration in
the value of pickled Butter—the demand steady. Good Beef is
fully as dear ;—but low qualities are plentiful, and may be purchased
upon easy terms. There is a little enquiry for Pork, but nothing
important will occur until the spring demand has commenced.
Bacon is quite as dear, 50e to 52s being a fair quotation for good
stuff.

STRANGERS' FRIEND SOCIETY

On Wednesday last the annual meeting of this most excel-
lent society took place at the Charitable Institution House,
in Slater-street. Mr. Crossfield having been requested to
take the chair, the Treasurer, Mr. Ashton, vcad a statement
of the receipts and disbursements. He said that at this period
last year the society had one or two hundred pounds in
hand, but he regretted to say this year their funds were quite
exhausted, indeed they were heavily in debt, and unless the
public and the friends to the institution came forward, they
con rfi not possibly carry on. There was a balance due to the
treasurer of £13., and the sum of £223. to the Soup Society

for 107,000 quarts of soup supplied to the poor. He could
not state the reason why it was so, but it was his firm convic-
tion that distress and misery in this town were deplorably on
the increase : it might be either that the wants of the poor
were greater, or from the increase in population. lie would

The Emperor has agreed to pay £3,000,000 for the ex-
penses incurred by the British in making war ; other autho-
rities state £2,000,000 sterling as indemnity for the opium
seized, and £1,000,000 for the expenses of the war. The
emperor, either himself or through his officers, has expressed
pacific intentions to the admiral, and he disavows the actions
of his commissioner Lin. This latter, indeed, has fallen
into disgrace, and the emperor offers to surrender him into
the hands of the British, to be dealt with as they may think
proper. Two commissioners were to be sent either to Can-
ton or Ningpo, with full powers to negotiate a treaty.
Chusan is not to be given up until the treaty be signed.
The above intelligence, which is up to the Ist of October,
was brought by her Majesty's ship Cruiser, to Calcutta.
No movement southward is expected from Chasm before
the 15th of October. The admiral was to leave Chusan for
Ningpo in one of the steamers on the 30th of September,
and the Blenheim was warping out for the same destination.
The emperor is greatly annoyed at our occupation of Chusan,
and his minister hinted " that the' admiral' visit had pre-
vented the march of fierce soldiers to retake the island."

The Malkieca papers have got up a story, that accounts
have been received there that our ships of war had taken the
Bogue forts, and after forcing the passage of the Bocea,
Tigris had proceeded to Canton. It is feared that this is
not correct.

Great complaints are made of the unhealthiness of the
men in the expedition against Chusan ; the weather at this
place is represented as cold and unhealthy. Mortality ap-
pears to prevail. Captain Stean, of her Majesty's 49th, had
died. The fleet, however, was plentifully supplied with
provisions.

The admiral has returned from Peiho and the Gulf of
Pe-che-lee ; his reception is said to have been good, and that
the emperor is anxious for peace. Lin is to be tried by some
Chinese commision, and I have no doubt will be sacrificed.
They want us to give up Chusan and to take Lantao, opposite
to Macao, and they offer £2,000,000 sterling in cash. The
foree, it is believed, will winter here.
_all but a small detach-
of artillery and one European regiment to accompany the ad-

miral to Macao, where it is supposed peace will be concluded.
The troops are dreadfully sick ; quarters are taken, and they
are to leave the .r sick, and come into town, when the rain
ceases, which we have had for some days. The Cameronians
have lost 30 men, the 18th about 24, the 49th about 15, and
the Volunteers about 24, the Artillery only one man, but have
been more sickly than any other. The Cameronians had
yesterday 545 men unfit for duty. This is a dreadful state
of things. This island has been drained of supplies, instead
of their being obtained from the mainland. The admiral
goes to-day with Captain Elliott to Ningpo to try and recover
poor Captain Anstruther (Madras Artillery) and Mrs. Noble,
Captain Noble, and the crew of the Kite, who are all prison-
ers. The Viceroy has written to say that they shall all be
taken care of, and invited the admiral to treat, as the Prince's
guardian had been sent from Pekin for this purpose, as also
a relative of the emperor. Since writing this lam told that
all the troops at present here are to continue at this place
until after the winter.

FROM CHINA, INDIA,

(From the second edition of the Times of Wednesday.)

We have received by extraordinary express from Maisellles
letters and journals from Bombay up to the Ist of December,
as well as advices from Alexandria to the 24th, and letters

and journals from Malta to the 28th.
The intelligence from China is of the highest impOrtance,
—no less than the near settlement of the China question.
Shortly after the capture of Cbusan. Admiral Elliot, in
proceeding to the Pecho river, was met by a mandarin of the
third rank of the Chinese empire. though some accounts say
by the Emperor himself, while others affirm that Admiral
Elliot had arrived at Pekin, and had an audience of the
Emperor.

cheerfully under their

little odd, perhaps, to call

the remission of any
particular imposts, whilst admitting and contending for
the necessity of increased taxation generally ; but the
inconsistency is not real. In medical practice it is not
unusual, we believe, for the constitution of the patient
to be supported, to some extent, by stimulants, even
when under a general course of depletion ; and, by si-
milar relief and encouragement afforded to the com-
merce of the country, we may be enabled the better to
undergo that course of financial or fiscal depletion to
which Whig incapacity has rendired it necessary that
we should be submitted.

We shall not attempt to point out the medium by
which the revenue required ahall be raised. But we
must confess our anxiety that it be something direct
and tangible—something that will not bring a spy into
every household or place a clog upon the ordinary
movements of commerce. It may be thought an ex-
cellent device, for a government that seeks popularity
at the expense of principle and of justice, to impose
the burden of taxation upon objects where it imagines
it will not be felt—to place ten per cent. upon this, or

rIl PRESIDENT's MESSAGE.—This document, which i 4
now looked for with the greatest anxiety. will be brought
by the Sheffield, which sailed from New York on the 13th
ult. The arrival of the Sheffield has been expected fm
several days, and she may make her appearance any tide,
though, ti.e wind is " right in her teeth," much uncer-
uncertainty hangs over her. The Caledonia, which left
Boston on the Ist instant, will probably arrive here on
Tuesday or Wednesday. The Toronto, a London packet-
ship, which left New York almost simultaneously with the
Sheffield, may possibly touch at Portsmouth before the
latter reaches this port; but the probability is, if the
easterly winds continue, the Halifax steamer will bring the
President's Message.

It was our intention to have bestowed some notice upon a
foolish article which appeared i❑ the Liverpool Times of
Tuesday, but our space is occupied with matter which
could not so couve iently be pcstponed. We shall pro-

complement of emigrants for our k\ est Indian Colonies.
It has long been the aim of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD
to diffuse correct information on this subject, which our
correspondent states is much novo:led ; and we shall never
cease to press it with iacreasing importunity on the legis.
