RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

We beg to direct the attention of our readers to the reports
of the proceedings at the half-yearly meetings of the Chester
and Birkenhead and Chester and Crewe Railways. By the
amalgamation of the latter company with the Grand Junc-
tion, and by the mutual agreement formed between that
company and the Chester and Birkenhead, we may anticipate
with certainty the transfer of a great portion of the passenger
traffic between London and Liverpool to the route by
Chester, and in that event we think little doubt may be enter-
tained by the proprietors of the profitable working of the two
lines in question.

It will be observed that the new half shares of the Chester
-and Birkenhead line have been allotted at a discount of £5,
or at £2O per share, and that it is only intended to call up
£l5 per share, that amount being expected to be amply suffi-
cient to complete the entire railway. A reference to the
transactions of our sharemarket of to-day will shew that at
an advance upon the price at which they are issued they have
been eagerly sought after by buyers, upwards of 400 having
changed hands upon our Stock Exchange at au average of
41 premium. It is confidently expected that the line will be
opened to the public in the course of the month of August.

TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD STANLEY, M.P.

MY LORD,-I have just read, with feelings of the ex•.
tremest indignation, a passage, in one of the local prints of
this place, echoing in effect, the fiendish exclamation of Mr.
O'Connell, in allusion to your Lordship's family afflictions,
on a recent occasion.

I am a very humble individual, my Lord, but think, never-
theless, that I am capable of appreciating_ the moral tone of
the inhabitants of " the good old town ;" and I will most
unhesitatingly take upon myself to declare, that if the Editor
of the Chronicle assumes for one moment, that in the article
in question, he speaks the sentiments of your Lordship's
neighbours, he labours under a strange delusion, and in-
dulges in a palpable falsehood.
No, my Lord, in the visitations of Divine Providence, the
people of Liverpool most sincerely sympathise with you as a
man; they glory in you as a statesman ; and they ardently
pray that every member of the noble houses of Knowsley and
Lathom may long be spared to witness the REVIVED
GREATNESS of this country, brought about by the intellec-
tual attainments and patriotic exertions of that indomitable
phalanx in the House of Commons, of which your Lordship
is so distinguished, so excellent a member.
I remain, with every feeling of respectful esteem,
my Lord, your Lordship's humble servant,

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 11.

During the last seven days we have had libel:al supplies of Wheat
and Oatmeal coastwise and from Ireland; and the imports from
abroad comprise 16,170 qrs. of Wheat, 1840 ms. of Oats, 8000 qrs.
of Barley, and 11,000 brls. of Flour. Duties have bean paid upon
880 qrs. of Wheat, 3570 qrs. of Barley, 2500 qrs. of Beans, 110 qrs.
of Peas, and 1620 brls. of Flour. Yesterday the rates of impost
upon foreign Wheat became 16s 8,1 per quarter; and under the im-
pression that a considerable portion of the bonded stocks of this
article will row be released, holders have been snore anxious to
sell, to effect which many have submitted to a decline of fully 6d
per bushel from the prices of this day week; at this reduction,
however, a fair retail business was done here, yesterday ; and, at
Manchester, to-day, more purchases were made, from this side,
than for many previous market days. American Flour is offering,
free, at 3gs to 40s per brl. : about 2000 brls. have changed hands,
in bond, at 288 6d per barrel. Oats have met only a limited de-
mand, and are rather cheaper, Oatmeal has sold very slowly :
good Irish manufacture may be bought at 33s to 33s 6d. The large
supplies of foreign Barley have forced down prices of this article
many shillings per quarter : fine parcels have been sold at about
378 per imperial quarter. Beans are scarce, and maintain their
previous value. No change as regards Peas.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY

Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that, immediately after
Easter, he should move for leave to bring in a hill to amend
the laws relating to the registration of voters in England and
Wales. He deferred, until after Easter, the motion of which
he had given notice for Tuesday, viz., to proceed with a bill
to amend the clergy reserves act; and stated (in answer to
Mr. S. O'Brien) that he should also, after Easter, give his
general views as regarded the registration of voters in Ire-
land. _ _ _

----
Mr. 0 CONNELL gave notice that he should, after Easter,
call attention to the state of the occupiers of land in India;
and also that he should, on motion of going into committee
on,the registration of voters' (Ireland) bill move, by way of
amendment, that leave be given to bring a bill to extend and
assimilate the parliamentary franchises of the people of Eng-
land and Ireland, and to reform, in certain particulars, the
reform acts for both countries.

. -
Sir R. H. INGLIS gave notice that he should, on Thurs-
day, May 7th, call attention to the subject of church exten-
sion.
The printed papers bill was brought from the Lords, with
amendments, which, with the bill, were ordered to be printed,
and considered on Monday.
The tithes composition (Ireland) bill was read the third
time and passed.
Sir R. PEEL withdrew his motion respecting the produc-
tion of the order in council directing reprisals. He asked
whether there would be any objection to lay the commission
before parliament when it was ready, and whether the order
in council gave instructions to all her Majesty's vessels to
seize all those belonging to the Emperor of China, in what-
ever seas they might he found.
Lord PALMERSTON answered, that the order gave autho-
rity to her Majesty's ships of war to detain any Chinese ves-
sels they might fall in with. Their ultimate disposal would
depend on the course pursued by the Chinese government.
After some further conversation, the subject dropped.
Mr. GRATTAN said he should certainly persevere in the
motion on Monday for an order for a call of the house for
May 6.
The house then adjourned till Monday.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There was a slight increase in the demand
yesterday, consequent upon the re-opening of the canals,
and the re-establishment of the communication with London,
and a tolerable business was done in some descriptions of
cloth for the home trade ; but in other respects, the market
was flat, and prices continue to droop.
ROCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 22.
There is no improvement in the demand for flannels to-day,
and the quantity of goods sold is about the sane as that of
last Monday. In the prices there is no change. The wool
market has been dull, and the sales limited. The price of
fine wools is rather giving way._ _

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 23.—Our report of this
market last week was gloomy, and there is little change for
the better. However, it is satisfactory to state, that prices
are firm, and buyers are disappointed who expected to pur-
chase at a lower rate. The fact is, great caution is exercised
in production, and prices have been so low for a long period,
that the manufacturer will stop his works rather than submit
to greater sacrifices. Even if wools fall, prices are not likely
to recede; and should a favourable change take place, a rapid
rise is anticipated. Sales in the hall are not extensive. To
judge of the state of trade, we must look to the warehouses
and shops, where a pretty extensive but almost profitless
business is doing. Wools are heavy of sale at last week's
prices.—Manchester Guardian.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY.

Lord KENYON gave 'notice that Lord Wynford would, in
committee on the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill,
move that Dublin be exempted from its operation.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, adverting to his notice
for Thursday, said he did not desire to press it, if he could
have the assurance that negotiations were going on regarding
the settlement of the claims of the British Auxiliary Legion
upon the Spanish government.
Lord MELBOURNE answered that a negotiation was not
only in progress, but near its termination •, that bills to the
amount of £50,000 had been received in London ; and that
Sir De Lacy Evans had left Madrid satisfied with the pro-
gams of the negotiations.
the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, there were
ordered extracts from the correspondence with the colonial
govertinvxts of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, &c., relative to
the distr-}Anion of patronage.
The Marquis of WESTMEATII moved for the production
of the following series of documents :-1. Copies of any
report or reports made to the Irish government relative to
the conduct of the Rev. Philip O'Reilly, Roman Catholic,
priest, of the county of Cavan, and of informations exhibited
against him by any of the constabulary police, for his having
used language of an inflammatory character in his chapel,
and to the congregatton there, inciting to acts of violence
against any persons relative to the taking of land. 2. Co-
pies of the informations, &c., exhibited against the said Mr.
O'Reilly, or any other Roman Catholic priest implicated
thereby in the same. 3. Copies of all correspondence be-
tween the Irish government and any magistrate, stipendiary
or otherwise, attending the petty sessions of Ballymacue, in
the county of Cavan, relative to this transaction ; and 4.
Copies of any report made to the Irish government by any

THEATRE ROYAL,

Mr. Power on His Last Legs and in oche, pieces, is vcry
funny and very attractive. He has appeared in sonic ()dirt:,
of his old and favourite parts, such as Pat Rr,o,:ey, Gera:d
Pepper, and Dr. O'Toole.
Much as we admire Power's acting, it is much on this side
9fidolatry. He has lent himself more than ever to pander-
ing to the low and depraved tastes of the public, instead of
making a determined stand against them, as if favourites do
not do, who can and who should do so ? Allusion is here
made to sundry obscenities in expression and acting. These
obscenities either are in the licensed copies of the pieces, or
they arc not. They should not be suffered by the public,
whose voice is superior and ulterior to the ex officio perusal
of any delegate of the Lord Chamberlain. Some good people
may affect not to comprehend the meaning of an acted obsce
nity ! If they read Archdeacon Paley's Moral Philosophy, they
will fully understand the force of the remark in all its diversi-
fied bearings. That worthy, when officiating at Carlisle, and'
illustrating different modes of lying, used to say that a man
or a woman might act a lie without speaking a falsehood.
For instance, if, on being asked the way to London, a man
in Carlisle should point with his finger not towards Penrith,
but nod towards Gretna Green, he or she would lie as much
as if they gave utterance to an intended untruth in the most
intelligible phraseology. Now it is a parallel case with some
things that fMr. Power does in dumb show ; they are as
broadly obscene as many allusions that are explicitly spoken.
Whether in the piece or not, is immaterial : they are intro-
duced as " gag" in worse than ordinary bad taste, and the
nuisance ought to be abated. Tne remedy lies less with the
Lord Chamberlain, or any deputy licenser of plays, than
with THE PUBLIC. Mr. Power is a clever and successful
performer and an immense favourite, but the liberties he
presumingly takes " by o'ersteppi;zg the modesty of na-
ture" should be discouraged. He seems to speak or parody
the words of his author according to the nightly state
of his own caprice! How other steady, experienced actors,
mixed up with him in an expected dialogue, get through
their duties, puzzles us not a little. As Dr. O'Toole, the
other evening, several parts of the dialogue he turned topsy-
turvy, and part of page 5 or 10 was rattled off, when some-
thing in page 4 or 9 should have been disposed of ! This is
odd ; but it may be one way of perplexing others, and obtain-
ing credit to himself, alone, figt being perfect, and up to
his stage duty towards the public ! There are various
new ways of doing old things, and assuming credit for ori-
ginality. As good acting, as Charles Young used to say,
" don't depend upon thides (sides)," Mr. Power's new
stage " effects" may be matter for opinion ; but with every
wish for his success and popularity, let him avoid grossness
and obscenity.
