PRIVATE VIEW OF THE UNIVERSITY PORTRAIT
OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
PAINTED BY JOHN LUCAS, ESQ.
I‘4ll. GRUNDY has the honour to announce that he has
obtained permission for the ORIGINAL PORTRAIT
OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON,
presented by his Grace to the University of Oxford, painted
in his robes as Chancellor of that University, to be on PRI-
VATE VIEW for FIVE DAYS, at the. LYCEUM, BOLD-
STREET, commencing on Monday, the 27th instant. Admis-
sion by Ticket only.

This Portrait, which the Duke has declared to be THE
LAST FOR WHICH HE WILL EVER SIT, was commenced at
Walmer Castle, in November last, and finished about six
weeks since, is acknowledged to be the most striking and
characteristic portrait that has been painted of him.
Numerous as have been the portraits of "the greatest
commander of the age, and the most eminent.s4,mintifti
the veneration and the learning of 'the. uni-
vesity over whiah he presides. Honoured and distinguished
by the choice of that learned body—an honour which reflected
lustre on themselves—the accession of the Duke of Welling-
ton to the chancellor's chair of Oxford is, and will be, one of
the most remarkable epochs of its history. This portrait,
which is unsurpassed as a faithful likeness, cannot fail of ob-
taining that popularity (and especially among the members of
the university) which will become one proof of the respect
and veneration which they feel for its head, and of their gra-
titude and admiration of the great man, whose name stands
the most proudly pre-eminent in the world.
The Nobility and Gentry desirous of obtaining Tickets of
Admission to view the Portrait are respectfully requested to
apply at the • Committee-room, Lyceum, or to leave their
cards with Mr. Phcenix, Lyceum, or address a note to Mr.
Grundy, at the Lyceum.

GEORGE'S PIER.

From the Floating Church I sauntered to the Pier-head.
The day was cloudy and inclined to rain, but the air was
mild, and the water smooth. and hundreds were hurrying, on
pleasure or business, to and from the river steam-boats.
The shouts of the boatmen were ever and anon heard—
" Now for Eastham !"—" Now for Woodside !"—" Now
for the Rock !"—" Now for Birkenhead !"—nor did they
shout in vain, for multitudes crowded their decks, and over
the hum of conversation rose the sound of little bands of
music, with horns, the scraping of a fiddle or two, or the
tinkling of an Italian wire organ, from on board. Sailing
and row boats were also in requisition, so smooth and in-
viting was the bosom of old Mersey, upon which the light
air from the northward scarcely raised a ripple. The white
houses on the Cheshire shore were, in the morning, but
visible through the haze, which mellowed down, to apparent
clouds, the more distant and elevated parts of the landscape.
What a contrast did this placid though busy scene present
to that witnessed from the same spot during the last great
storm, when the tide driven from the western ocean by the
fury of the hurricane, rose much above its usual height, and
roused into tumultuous waves, rolled over the whole line of
sea-wall, and rose in showers of foaming spray that reached
across the whole extensive aera, between the pier and the
dock ! When some vessels were dragged from anchorage and
wreckedor disabled, while others that held on rocked and lifted
on billows scarcely inferior to those of the Atlantic in a storm ;
when the basins and quay walls were strewed with pieces of
wreck, and many lives as well as much property fell a prey,
on shore and on the water, to the indiscriminating devasta-
tion ! These awful visitations are, however, rare, and I re-
vert to them only as a reminiscence which may tend to lessen
the arrogant pretensions of our species, to teach them that
all our science, our philosophy, our mechanics, are vain and
impotent when placed in contact with the elements, thus
wielded for inscrutible purposes by the great Author of the
universe. I continued my ramble to

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 23.
There has been a good inquiry for Cotton to-day, and the sales
are 4000 bags, including 500 on speculation, and 200 for export, at
very steady prices.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 21.
The imports since Tuesday last of Wheat, Flour, and Barley,
from Foreign ports have been rather large, from Ireland and Coast-
wise very moderate ; but the demand here and in our country
markets have been very languid during the past week, at a further
decline on Wheat of 2d to 3d per 701 b, and on Flour of Is per sack
and per barrel; Barley has also been sold 2d to 3d per 60Ib. lower,
and every other article in the Corn trade has been very dull, and
last quotations barely obtainable.
The only alteration this week in the duties on Grain from Foreign
ports is a reduction of Is 6d per qr. ou Beans ; there is a great pro-
bability that on the Ist of May the duty on Wheat may be reduced
to 13s 8d per qr. and 8s 2id per barrel on Flour. Several parcels of
Flour in bond have changed hands at 27s 6d to 295, and some under
particular circumstances reported at 27s per barrel ; Oats in bond
sery dull at 3s 6d to 3s 10d per 451 b. At this day's market there
was a fair attendance and a better demand for good Wheat and
Flour, and the above decline was a little recovered ; for all other
articles in the trade there was but a very limited sale at about the
prices of this day week. •

THE TRAFALGAR DOCK

is a little further north, the intermediate space between these
north docks being occupied by quay-room and sheds, and
the whole enclosed within one circuit of wall. This dock is
almost exclusively occupied by steam-vessels receiving their
engines, or under finish or repair. On the north side there
is a handsome and powerful crane, for the depositing of heavy
pieces of machinery on board of the largest steamers. It
was made by Messrs. Fawcett and Co., engine-builders,
of this town, and is in itself an admirable specimen of
the science of the proper and useful application of iron
by tension. When a heavy casting or boiler is hoisted
by this machine to the requisite height, the whole being
on wheels, it can be propelled to the brink of the quay,
so that the pending mass may be deposited perpendicularly
in a vessel's hold, though the hatch were 40 or 50 feet from
the wall. I, yesterday, saw one of the cylinders of the steam-
ship United States, weighing upwards of 8 tons, hoisted up
by a few men, and safely placed in the vessel in a few minutes.
Had the Pyramids of Egypt again to be built, the time and
human labour would by such means be reduced to a fraction
of what was expended upon them.
In friendly proximity to the United States, lies the still
larger steam vessel--The President, which has already re-
ceived on board all the heavy frame-work, cylinders, &c ,of
her engines. When the United States has received her Own
proportionate quantum, she will, this week, I learned, give

THE WATERLOO DOCK,

which is upwards of six acres in area. Opposite to the dock
on the east is the Rotunda, an inn, of conical shape, formed
out of the bottom stories of what was once the north wind-
will. Immediately in front of this building, and a few an-
cient detached cottage houses in a line with it on the south,
was, only about 18 or 20 years ago, the river bank—or sea
beach,—the resort in the summer of thousands of bathers,
from the town and the neighbouring country. The site upon
which they disported is formed into quays and docks, to
within a short distance of Bootle Bay, nearly the whole
ground having been reclaimed from the river, and secured
by strong sea-walls.
In this dock another ship, the Alhambra, full of emigrants
to America, was about to sail. The vessels it receives are
chiefly American, and the quays were strewed with cotton.

THE VICTORIA DOCK,
the next on the north, is about the same size—apparently a
little larger, and is also devoted to the accommodation of
large vessels. The mural masonry of all these docks is
highly creditable to the Dock Trust. There is a continuous
line of communication, by locks and basins, from the Prince's
Dock Basin, on the west side, between these docks and those
to the northward of them ; and the stonework, chiefly of
granite, is beautiful and most substantial. From this dock
a fine ship, the Richard Anderson, was towed out, on her
voyage with emigrants to New York. The entrance to this
dock from the river is beautiful—the wall on the west termi-
nating near it, on each sjde, in a lodge or office, built in the
Egyptian style of architecture, and of fine gray granite.

Total increase of currency.. 5,060,708 dollars.
A large proportion of the increase of specie in the banks
came from Mexico. On the 13th inst. 88,746 dolls. arrived
from Tampico. Here we have not speculation, but figures
sworn to by the bank officers, which show an increase of 50
per cent. in the currency of New Orleans since the suspen-
sion of the banks,

Immediately after the suspension, and during the panic
incident upon that measure, specie rose to 8 a 9 per cent.
prem., and then gradually fell to 3 a 4 per cent. about the
Ist March.

This was the natural result of the great shipment of crops.
The banks in New Orleans previous to the Ist of January,
1839, were preparing to resume. The contraction incident
upon that measure was healthy, and the movements of pro-
duce brought the balance in their favour in February and
March. This encouraged purchases at the north ; at this
season the premium was nominal, although a good southern
business was done at the north ; what different views do the
rates for the year present, althouth the exports from New
Orleans have been about the same in value this year as last.

In this we and that the quantities exported have been much
superior to those of last year, while the value has been much
the same. The increased quantities have augmented the
freight 100 per cent. over last year. The following is a table
of the receipts of produce :

ROCK SAVAGE.

Here a splendid mansion was erected in 1565, by Sir John
Savage, from whom it was named. The original building was
called Clifton Hall, from the township in which it stood. His
Majesty King James I. was here sumptuously entertained,
after hunting in Halton Park. It afterwards fell into the
possession of the Barrymore fiimily, and finally into the bands
of the Marquis of Chohnondeley. It is delightfully situated,
amongst woods and lawns, overlooking the waters of the
Weaver, and the rich marshes that surround the eminence
on which it stands. It is described as having been in 1640
a splendid mansion, in a most delectable spot ; but very little
of it now remains to gratify the researches of the antiquary.
A portion of the ruins, about 40 feet in height, and about
twenty broad at the base, with an ash tree growing close up
to it and some feet over it, rises abruptly at the north-east
corner of what appears to have been the site of the structure,
and is probably a part of one of the sides. in front, too,
there is an ancient buttressed stone wall, with a gateway in
the centre, enclosing a square space, now apparently a gar-
den, which was probably occupied by the building and its
courts. There are also dilapidated walls and arches, at dif-
ferent points ; and a sort of well, covered with boards, was
she s•n to me, said to lead to a culvert or vault, under some
dilapidated remains, running along the top of a field. On
the west very handsome detached offices of stone, forming
three sides of a quadrangle, were built by the Barrymore fa-
mily, in a modern style, and these are still in good paeserva-
tion. There is also a large antique farm-house, said to have
been built out of part of the ruins. This house and the farm
are tenanted by Mr. Richard Jenion, who, it is said, occu-
pies from eleven to twelve hundred acres, and milks from 80
to 100 cows. At a short distance, and on the opposite side
of a deep hollow or ravine, there is another tine farm-
house, with a garden and orchard in front, in which there is
a remarkable circular arbour, clipped, with a conical top.
The valley of the Weaver, which blends harmoniously with
the rising ground on each side is exceedingly beautiful from
the eminences near this point. There is a road from Rock
Savage to Runcorn, by way of Halton village, but it is cir-
cuitous, and as I purposed to visit Halton Tower at the close
of my excursion, I preferred that passing through
