GAS!

THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC GAS BURNER,
registered according to Act of Parliament? which, for per-
fect combustion, brilliancy of effect, intensity, power, and
economy of light, is certain to supersede every other burner in
present use, being perfectly shadowless, without smoke or
smell, and a saving of from 30 to 40 per cent. In this valuable
invention, the great defects of all other burners are obviated
by the following adjustments :—A solid conical button is in-
serted into the inner air channel, at a certain height from the
top of the burner, which arrests and restricts the supply of air,
and at the same time causes it to be diffused equally and regu-
larly over the inner surface of the flame, and the outer current
is adjusted by means of a conical glass chimney. By this com-
bination, the flame is placed between two streams of atmo-
spheric air, nicely regulated to a proper amount, and distri-
buted in the direction most favourable to complete combustion.
The Burner may be seen and tested at Mr. JOHN NORVALL'S,
Douglas Hotel, 36, Lime-street, Liverpool; Mr. ROBERT
OAK Es. Bread and Biscuit Baker, 26, Elliot-street, Liverpool ;

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 10.
There has been a moderate consumptive demand for Flour
during the week, at former rates ; other articles slow of sale
without material variation in value.
At Liverpool yesterday, American Flour was offered, in
partial instances, at a slight reduction, but on the whole the
market maintained a firm aspect.
At Wakefield, a good business was done in Wheat, at an ad-
vance of 2s. per quarter.
The falling off of supply from the eastern districts to that
market is most remarkable, and the same observation is ap-
plicable to this place, as regards Flour. A considerable ad-
vance has taken place during the week at several of the lead-
ing agricultural markets.
At our Exchange to-day, the trade exhibits increasing firm-
ness, without, however, much activity of demand. Many
samples of Wheat and Flour are withdrawn from sale, and au
advance of Is. per sack on Fresh flour is generally required,
but without its being so far established as to warrant a change
in our quotations. All other articles in slow request; at about
former prices.

THE GOVERNMENT PLAN OF EDUCATION.

On Friday, a meeting of the clergy of this parish, con-
vened by circular, was held at the Blue Coat School, for
the purpose of considering what steps it was advisable that
the clergy as a body should take with reference to the plan
of national education recently propounded by ministers.
The Rev. Rector Brooks took the chair, and amongst
others the following clergymen were present, viz. :—The
Revs. John Connor, Hugh M'Neile, Dr. Booth, W. Ban-
nister, J. B. Phillips, E. Roberts, J. Dover, F. Parry, W.
Pollock, J. Dwyer, R. Davies, John Jones, Cecil Wray,
C. Morrall, T. Nolan, J. B. Monk, J. North, James C.
Prince, T. G. Leigh, &c. As the meeting was purely of
a private nature, although in support of a great public ob-
ject, reporters were not admitted, and the discussion
which took plaCe was merely of a conversational character.
Of course the subject of the government scheme of educa-
tion was fully brought before the meeting. Several of the
clergy deplored the apathetic conduct of the people of Li-
verpool in not sending petitions to parliament, and they
called on the lay members of the Church of England to
come forward in support of the plan of education now
proposed by her Majesty's government. There appeared
to be a unanimous opinion that the government measure
was the best which, under existing circumstances, could
be expected to be passed into a law ; and a sincere hope
was expressed that the lamentable indifference of the peo-
ple with regard to this measure would not in any way have
the effect of inducing the government to relax in their
endeavour to pass the bill. Ultimately a petition embo-
dying the views of the clergy, and similar to that which is
now m course of signature was adopted.

OPERATION OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND

The London Gazette of Friday throws a strong light
on the present crisis. And truly it was a crisis,—such an
one, in truth, as the country has scarcely ever passed
through ; —for we cannot admit that the panic of 1825-had
nearly all the fearful accompaniments of the present long
continued pressure. _ _ _ _

The Bank of England absolutely requires, for its free
and necessary action, to have in its London treasury and
in the treasuries of its branches, a stock of £4,000,000 of
bank-notes. But on Saturday week, we now find, the
whole of its stock of notes was reduced to £1,547,270 !
—exhibiting a reduction, in one week, of no less than
£1,082,845. Thus it was clear, that a very few days more
would have brought the whole establishment to a stand-
still—with no bank-notes in its till, for either discounts,
advances, or any other purposes whatever.
s To show the nature of the rapid decline in the Bank

currency, let us look back for a very few weeks; keeping
an eye on the same item in the weekly accounts.

The notes in the lanking department, then, appear to
have been, during the last three months, continually de-
clining. The weekly accounts state them as follows :

How is this ? We believe it partly arises from the de-
mand for coin, which is caused by the stoppage of so many
provincial banks. Partly, also, from the withdrawals of
deposits from the various savings-banks. We observe a
great diminution under the head of
" Public deposits, including savings banks; &c

10.-RODNEY STREET WARD.

Rodney-street Ward has again become wholly Conser-
vative, in the return of James Aspinall Tobin, Esq., by
the overwhelming majority of 119. Looking at this ma-
jority and the three gentlemen who now represent the
ward (Mr. Wood, Mr. Holme, and Mr. Tobin), we think
it likely to continue Conservative. Our advice to the
Reformers is this,.that if they wish to make an attack on
this ward again, they had better attempt some other mode
than that of wholesale objections. In 1846 the Conser-
vatives made no objections, while the Reformers made
many, we forget how many, and yet Mr. Samuel Holme's
majority was 80;: and in 1847 the Conservatives made 29
objections, and the Reformers 179—and their agent on
the revision (Mr. Hull) acknowledged in open court that
he had not a good objection against 20 of the 179, and
though the Conservatives attended very well in support of
their votes, some 30 were struck off for non-attendance,
and yet in the face of these disadvantages the Conserva-
tive majority is 1.19. For Mr. Lewin's sake we are glad
he is only second best, for he would have been much dis-
tressed to have obtained a seat in the Council through
such unworthy means. At the close of the poll Mr.
Tobin appeared at one of the windows of the Messrs.
Holme's offices, in Benson-street, and in a very excellent
address, thanked the assembled crowd for their exertions
which had been crowned with such triumphant success.

2.-SCOTLAND WARD.

The candidates for this ward were Mr. Woodruff (a con-
servative) and Mr. Thompson (reformer). Mr. Woodruff
has been a resident in the ward for 15 years, and has there
carried on an extensive business. Mr. Woodruff is a man
of intelligence ; and, what is more, of character. He be-
came a member of the Select Vestry, and his praiseworthy
and business-like manner and conduct, in arresting extra-
vagant expenditure, and reforming abuses in parochial
management, rendered him a favourite with the public ;
and he came forward as a candidate for municipal honours
upon the requisition of many gentlemen who were his
neighbours, and who could not help appreciating his worth,
and encouraging an opinion that he would become a use-
ful member of the Council. Mr. W. was not ambitious
for popular honours, but the call was so urgent that he
acceded to the wishes of the constituency.
The polling was animated throughout. In the middle
of the day, Mr. Woodruff was very considerably ahead of
Lis opponent. Towards the close the latter pulled up ;
but Mr. W. was, nevertheless, at the 6nale, in a small,
but, under the circumstances. a triumphant majority.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are sorry we have not room for the insertion of the bene-
volent appeal of "Fidelis."
"Übiquis" wishes us to call the attention of the authorities "to
the disgraceful and dangerous state of Great Charlotte-street,
especially on a market day." He says that it is the resort of
a host of disreputable characters, and that on Wednesday
last, a boy was violently assaulted opposite the centre gate of
the market, and that a gentleman who interfered in his be-
half was instantly assailed by a torrent of abuse.
If a "Non-Repealer" be really "an old subscriber," he ought
by this time to know our opinion on the subject of the Repeal
of the Union. We would recommend our correspondent to
study the History of England, and some authentic Irish
History.
Mr. G. H. Plant has requested us to correct a statement attri-
buted to him by a contemporary in the observations made by
Mr. Plant at the West Derby ward meeting. Mr. Plant did
not bring any charge of 'nal-administration of the corporate
funds. He said that the Corporation received for town dues,
for the last year, £OO,OOO, and did not pay one farthing for
parish rates, being exempted under a local act, and that the
sooner that act was amended the better, as it would tend
materially to lighten the burthens of the ratepayers.
-We must make enquiries as to the statements in the letter of
"Victor."

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

Speaking generally, the public of this town have been
too much occupied for the last few weeks with the mani-
fold occurrences resulting from the present alarming
monetary crisis, to devote the usual attention to the an-
nual election of our local governors. Considerable stir
has however been made in the various districts, as is evi-
denced by the fact that fourteen wards out of the sixteen
have been contested—the Radicals bringing fourteen can-
didates—and this notwithstanding the boastful pretensions
of their press, that they are anxious for the exclusion of
party politics from the Council chamber. This pretence
has been put forward with sickening frequency for the
last two or three years, and it so happens that during that
period they have offered the greatest and the most vexa-
tious opposition. This year they have contested, as we
have said, fourteen of the wards, and last year they did
the same, whilst in 1845 they allowed seven Conservative
gentlemen to enter the Council unopposed, and in 1844
six Conservatives were similarly returned. This is not the
first time that Radical practice has given the lie to radical
profession.

Before entering into any detail of the occurrences yes-
terday, it may be interesting to place before our readers
the following state of the poll at the close, in the wards
which were last year contested.

In two of the wards there was no opposition offered last
year to the Conservative candidates. In St. Peter's, Mr.
Tinne was allowedlo walk over, as was Mr. G. H. Law-
rence, for West Derby, and Mr. James Aikin was returned
unopposed for Castle-street. On that occasion twelve
Conservative members retired, and eleven were returned ;
a goodly proportion, certainly, though not quite so grati-
fying as in some of the previous years. In 1840, twelve
Conservatives were returned ; in 1841, thirteen ; in 1842,
again thirteen ; in 1843, twelve ; in 1844, thirteen ; and
in 1845, ten ; proving that their numerical position in the
Council has fluctuated very little for many years, and if
we may judge from yesterday's proceedings is not likely
to do so for some time to come.

The following is as accural
cure of the state of the pol
wards. We print the reform

to a report as we could pro-
Ll each hour in the contested
ters name, in italics :

9.-GREAT GEORGE WARD.

This has been a somewhat singular election ; Mr. H.
G. Harbord was returned without any opposition. Mr.
G. G. Hornby was the retiring member, and, for some
unexplained reason, did not again solicit the suffrages of
the electors, preferring to offer himself for Everton ward.
On Mr. Hornby's retirement, a committee, composed of
both the political parties, waited on Mr. Harbord with a
requisition to allow himself to be put in nomination, and
having complied, he was honoured yesterday with a unani-
mous election.

mingham, an interview, when after expressing herself in the
highest possible terms of approbation as to their very valuable
properties, and the great relief and comfort she had found from
the use of them, presented -him her autograph certificate,
requesting him to make fr use of it, to give the Lozenge her
own name, and to ass the public, on her authority, of the
great advantages to b erived from the constant use of them.

THE PAN IC. - THE COURSE OF TIME.
The Panic is on—the Panic is on !
Depression now visits each stock :
The richest of traders are ruin'd and gone,
And for hope they all look to the Clock.
The Clock' the Clock, with spring or with weight,
The friend of the poor, the guide of the great.
The mechanic, on rising at morn,
The shepherd who tends to his flock,
And the statesman whose brows knit with scorn,
Alike look to time—to the Clock.
The Clock, the Clock, &c.
Though each country to beat us are vieing,
In variety, quality, stocks ;.-er.
It's no use with DONKIX. their trying,
So valued a name have his Clocks.
The Chia, the Clock, &c.
American makers with rich finished cases,
And dialslis hard as a rock,
Works of brass that time ne'er effaces,
Are only twelve shillings the Clock.
The Clock, the Clock, &c.
Of Germans that run hours thirty and six,
There's always ten thousand in stock,
At prices astounding—some say tire and six—
Each warranted a well-going Clock.
The Clock, the Clock, &c.
His enterprise, then, we must loudly greet,
While his patrons rush in a flock ;
And ere long we shall see "Donking, Dale-street,"
Boldly lettered on every Clock.
The Clock, the Clock, with spring or with weight,
The friend of the poor, the guide ofthe great.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 30.

The general aspect of the corn trade during the week has been
steady, with tendency to advance; the same was the case yes-
terday at Wakefield, and in a still greater degree at Liverpool.
At our market to-day very little fine wheat is offering, and all
good and fair qualities meet steady sale, at an advance of 3d.
per bushel.
Really prime fresh qualities of American and Canadian Flour
are hardly to be met with, and bring an advance of 2s. per ber-
rel. New sack Flour is generally held at prices so much above
what has hitherto been paid for barrels, that our bakers do not
purchase willingly at our quotations.
Oats Id. to 2d. per bushel, and Oatmeal Gd. to I s. lower, with
fair inquiry for both. Indian Corn 2s. per quarter, and Meal
Is. per barrel dearer. Beans and Malt steady at late rates.
