TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—In the Mercury of last Tuesday, there appeared
a letter signed by Mr. Purnell, dock-master, addressed to
Capt. Galteau, of the Prince Jerome, lying in the Queen's
Dock, appealing to his good sense whether a flag bearing
an insulting emblem upon it should not be withdrawn,
surrounded as he was by Russian vessels, to whom he was,
by his flag, hurling defiance. Now, Sir, I contend that
this said captain had no right to hoist that flag in an
English port. We are not at war with Russia, and I trust
it will yet be avoided ; and no Englishman with any spirit
would allow insult to be thrown at any class of people who
are at present standing in amicable relations to each other.
The device upon the flag is indicative of the lowest black-
guardism, and is in use only amongst the most degraded
of our population. Had the aborigines of New South
Wales devised a flag, I question if they could have used a
more degrading figure. Instead of calling it "an insult
to a French captain," it should be "disgusting impu-
dence of a French captain." It excited the ire of an
English sailor, who said he had a good mind to cut the
signal halyards, he was so angry about it. The paltry
attempt to make a national grievance of it is ludicrous in
the extreme, and shows very little sense. It is too bad
that a desire to remove a grievance, and prevent unplea-
santness between the natives of two countries, should recoil
upon the head of the agent in this matter. Ido trust,
however, that this captain will be shown the impropriety
of thus acting in a friendly port before he leaves here.
Yours respectfully, AN ENGLISHMAN.

[The letter to which our correspondent refers was brought
to our office yesterday week, but we refused to insert it,
on the ground that it was an ex parte statement, and
we felt convinced that the Dock-master would not have
interfered unless he had more grounds than was stated
to us by the French captain, who said the flag bore only
a half-moon, and was simply intended as a signal flag
to designate his own ship. It now appears, from the
above letter, that the Dock-master was fully justified in
ordering the removal of such an offensive exhibition ;
and in order that no doubt may remain, we subjoin a
rough drawing of the design upon the lag. It will be
seen that it is a grossly vulgar design, evidently intended
to be insulting to the Russian vessels in the port, while
the representation made to us as to its innocent charac-
ter was a positive falsehood.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY, MAscrt 6.

- The House met shortly before four o'clock.
Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE took the oaths and his
seat for Louth.

Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that he should move, on
Thursday, that the issue of writs for new elections for
boroughs now vacant be further postponed.
In answer to Mr. Layard, Lord J. RUSSELL said that
the Government had asked the Czar to evacuate the
Principalities by the 30th of April. If the Czar acceded
to that request, the compliance would not be conclusive
of the war between Russia and Turkey.—Mr. LATARD
then gave notice that, on a future occasion, he should
bring the question before the house in a definite shape.

MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The market has been very dull all
week, and prices are barely maintained. More weakness
prevails in the'value of cloth than of yarns, most qualities
and numbers of the latter exhibiting much firmness, con-
sidering the inactivity that exists, the uncertainty how
soon active hostilities with Russia may be entered upon,
and the failures, more numerous than important, that
have been mentioned, all assist to depress the tone of the
market. Considering the inactivity that has continued
throughout the week, yarns have maintained a firm
position. For many descriptions not the slightest con-
cession can be obtained, this being the case with most
descriptions of India qualities, which.are very scarce in
consequence of the late demand, and for which an inquiry,
though comparatively a moderate one, is still experienced.
The cloth market continues very dull, and in but few
instances are prices fully maintained. The India demand
is this week very much reduced; for other quarters the
export demand is but trifling ; whilst the home trade con-
tinues exceedingly dull and unsatisfactory.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has been quiet in
nearly all its departments, though not more so than
might reasonably be expected in the present unsettled
state of political affairs. Prices are still maintained with-
out indication of a downward tendency, a result no doubt
mainly attributable to the steadiness of prices of the raw
material.

BRADFORD.—There is everything to deter spinners
from buying combing wools ; the high prices sought for
such kinds as are in request, render it impossibla to cover
cost, in ordinary counts of yarns. Yarns are dull sale at
ruinous prices to the spinners. In pieces there is nothing
encouraging, and the most prudential course is to keep
the production limited. At Bristol fair, on Wednesday,
there was a thin attendance of both buyers and sellers,
and the quantity of wool thrown very meagre. Short
wools command a ready sale at full prices, but here the
activity ends, as the demand for combing wools is very
dull, and yet the growers will not submit to a reduction
to enable buyers to come into the market.

NOTTINGHAM.—A little more inquiry for some
description of lace goods, still the trade is dull for the
time of year. Nothing like the amount of German business
to which we are accustomed at this season, and the time
for the spring Leipsic fair is approaching so fast that no
great quantity of goo& could now be sent supposing they
should be wanted. In hosiery but little doing, all persons
seem determined to hold off buying but for their imme-
diate wants. No change in the price of yarn.
LEICESTER.—But little change in the state of trade
this week, with the exception of a few small orders to
sort up stocks. Some additional orders for the United
States' fall trade have also arrived, and a succession of
them is anticipated, it being now time that these goods
should be manufactured. Prices of material remain the
same.

FRANCE.

The latest accounts from Toulon describe the
activity as unremitting. Several steam-ships are
in a state of grdat forwardness for the conveyance
of several regiments of cavalry to the seat of war.
The Asmodee steam•frigate had recently left for
Constantinople, carrying out a large quantity of
tools and other materiel for the construction of a
I.# camp near that ea ' . It is said that the Oreno-
que and Montez -steam-frigates, at present at
Senegal, are to re urn home, without delay, to
carry out troops to the Levant. The men in the
Arsenal at Toulon are working night and day.
The whole of the Atlantic squadron anchored in
the roads of Toulon on the night of the 28th ult.

PROVISIONS,

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 4.—At steady prices the demand
.
for American beef continues moderately active, an. dour
stock, as compared with the same period last year, isin a
much more manageable compass. There has been rather
more inquiry for pork, and the sales for the week are to
an average extent, at full rates. Bacon is in fair request,
and all the recent arrivals have been cleared off as landed ;
but there is a disposition on the part of importers to press
off parcels near at hand, before arrival. At a decline of
Is per cwt., the market for lard is quiet : the sales for the
week are reported at 50 tons. The demand for cheese is
moderately active, at last week's prices.
Mancu O.—There is no material change to report in dur
butter market, which continues firm and steady. There
was a.moderate business transacted last week, and, in
some
.instances, rather more money was obtained for fine
qualities, which are very scarce, but stale and inferior
kinds are not saleable to any extent, although offering at
comparatively low rates. The stock is now in a very
small compass, and all will be wanted for consumption.

The cloth market continues very dull, and in but few
instances are prices fully maintained. The India demand
is this week very much reduced ; for other quarters the
export demand is but trifling; whilst the home trade con-
tinues exceedingly dull and unsatisfactory.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has been quiet in
nearly all its departments, though not more so than
might reasonably be expected in the present unsettled
state of political affairs. Prices are still maintained with-
out indication of a downward tendency, a result no doubt
mainly attributable to the steadiness of prices of the raw
material.

BRADFORD.—There is everything to deter spinners
from buying combing wools; the high prices sought for
such kinds as are in request, render it impossibla to cover
cost, in ordinary counts of yarns. Yarns are dull sale at
ruinous prices to the spinners. In pieces there is nothing
encouraging, and the most prudential course is to keep
the production limited. At Bristol fair, on Wednesday,
there was a thin attendance of both buyers and sellers,
and the quantity of wool thrown very meagre. Short
wools command a ready sale at full prices, but here the
activity ends, as the demand for combing wools is very
dull, and yet the growers will not submit to a reduction
to enable buyers to come into the market.
NOTTINGHAM.—A little more inquiry for some
description of lace goods, still the trade is dull for the
time of year. Nothing like the amount of German business
to which we are accustomed at this season, and the time
for the spring Leipsic fair is approaching so fast that no
great quantity of goods could now be sent supposing they
should be wanted. In hosiery but little doing, all persons
seem determined to hold off buying but for their imme-
diate wants. No change in the price of yarn.

LEICESTER.—But little change in the state of trade
this week, with the exception of a few small orders to
sort up stocks. Some additional orders for the United
States' fall trade have also arrived, and a succession of
them is anticipated, it being now time that these goods
should be manufactured- Prices of material remain the
gam.

THE MEETING AT THE SESSIONS-HOUSE.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STA N'IDARD.
observe that your Radical contemporaries,
writing about the unruly Romanist and Radical mob at
the Sessions-house, on the 24th ult. (which they call a
"town's meeting "), say, "that it was very improper"
of our worthy Mayor to call a public meeting on the
ground of " a party requisition," mentioning as the "only"
precedent the Papal aggression meeting in 1851. Oh !
innocent Radicals ! allow me to show you some Radical
"precedents" for municipal authorities dabbling in politics.
1. The Mayor and Corporation of Birmingham sent a
petition to parliament, last year, in favour of admitting
the Jews!,

2. The Mayor of Southampton, when entertaining as
his guest the rebel Kossuth, gave a toast, " The Liberal
members of the House of Commons !!" 1861.

3. The Mayors and Corporations of Leeds, Greenock,
Manchester, Paisley, and other Radical boroughs, in
presenting addresses to Lord John Russell, Mr. Gladstone,
M.P., in 1853, made use of party language, congratulating
them for their efforts in the cause of " civil and religious
liberty," " reform," " free-trade," &c., &c.
I could show numberless other instances in which
Radical municipal authorities have, in their official
capacity, acted as political agitators ; but the innocent
Radicals can think of no other precedent than the Papal
Aggression meeting, three years ago ! —I remain yours, &c.,

PROPOSED NEW DOCKS AT BIRKENHEAD.

IThe surveyor's report on this subject was read, from
which it appeared that Mr. Laird proposes to construct a
large graving dock, sufficiently capacious to admit a pad-
• dle steamer of larger class than any in existence; and
also to erect three building docks, or slips, from which
ships may be floated when fully equipped for sea; besides
three ordinary landing slips. The plan, according to the
report, would, if carried out, develope a ship-building
establishment of extraordinary magnitude and of un-
equalled capabilities. The report further had in contem-
plation, works intended to be erected near the same point,
by Messrs. Clayton and M`Keverigan, and Messrs. Clover
and Boyle. The estimated expense of these works is, in
round numbers, £70,000, viz.,—X,30,000 for Mr. Laird's
works, and £20,000 each for the other two. By these
works, conjointly, it is intended to reclaim 28,000 square
yards of land from the river. After a brief discussion, the
report was referred to the Finance Committee.

WIDENING OP BOLD-STREET,

An attempt was made by Mr. Earle to prevent a
renewal of the leases of two houses in Bold-street, on the
ground that it was in contemplation, at a future time, to
widen that street by taking down its north side. The
proposal was supported by Mr. Robertson Gladstone ; but
on a division it was lost by a majority of 36 to 3.

STEAM COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN
LIVERPOOL AND ANTWERP.
Next Summer, as soon as the Screw Steam-
ships now building for the Atlantic are completed, a regular
STEAM COMMUNICATION will he established, by first-
class steamers, between LIVERPOOL and ANTWERP.
Goods will be received by these Steamers at Antwerp for
transhipment at Liverpool by the Steam-ships to the United
States ; and the transhipment at Liverpool. as in the Com-
pany's Trade between Havre and Liverpool, will be free of
expense to the Goods.
It is not intended by the Establishment of this Line to cur-
tail in any way the facilities already possessed by the French,
German, and Belgian Shippers of Merchandise to America
from Havre, via Liverpool, but as an additional means for
the expedition of their Goods.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MoNDer, M,►scH &.

Their lordships met at five o'clock.
In reply to Lord Feversham,
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that the second reading
of the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill was postponed till
next Tuesday. - -

A brief discussion arose on an inquiry being put by
Lord ST. LEONA.RDS respecting the intention of Govern-
ment with regard to the Consolidation of the Criminal Mid
Statute Law Amendment Bills of last session. In the
course of which the LORD CHANCELLOR stated that those
bills would be referred to a committee, with a view to their
being submitted to the judges, in order that they might
have the benefit of their opinion.
Lord BROUGHAM suggested that this should be done
only with respect to details, and not as regards the prin-
ciple of codifications.
The subject then dropped, and their lordships adjourned
at twenty minutes past seven, p.m.

LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL.

Tim monthly meeting of the Council was held on Wed-
. nesday, J. B. Lloyd, Esq., mayor, presiding.—The pro-
ceedings of the FINANCE COMMITTEE
comprised recommendations to increase the salary of Mr.
Rishton, building surveyor, from £250 to £3OO per an-
num ; and the salaries of William Johnson and John
Jones, his assistants, from 40s. to 465. per week ; to ap-
point or to concur with the justices of the borough in the
appointment of James Johnston, out-door inspector of
weights and measures, at the salary of £lOO per annum ;
report and estimate of the cost of laying out the Waver-
tree-hall estate as a park; recommendation to sell the
reversion of certain houses in Roscoe-street and Back
Knight-street, as the site of a school in connexion with
St. Mark's Church, on payment of the sum of £2B 10s. ;
report, plans, and estimates of Sir William Cubitt for the
new Landing-stage ; recommendation to increase the
salaries of the following clerks in the town-clerk's office,
viz. :—Mr. Henry Walter, from £250 to £3OO per annum ;
Mr. John Forgham, from £155 to £2OO ; Mr. Edwin
Evans, from £1 los. to £2 2s. per week. Plans and esti-
mates of the works proposed to be constructed by Mr.
John Laird, Messrs. Clover and Royle, and Messrs. Clay-
ton and Co., at Birltinhead, and report of the surveyor
thereon.—On the motion of Mr. Hornby the proceedings
were confirmed, with the exception of Messrs. Rishton,
W. Johnson, and J. Jones, consideration of which was
referred back.
PROPOSED PARK ON TICE WAVERTREE ESTATE.
Mr. Homby, on the plea that the extent of ground in
question was too limited to be of value as a park to the
inhabitants of Liverpool, and that, consequently, the ex-
pense of laying it out as a park should not be incurred,
suggested that it ought to be laid out as a place for build-
ing ornamental villas on. Some discussion ensued, which
ended in a resolution, proposed by Mr. Stewart, as a modi-
fication of Mr. Picton's suggestion—that the ground be
thrown open as a park, with merely a few dry walks
through it, so that the public appreciation of it as a park
may be ascertained.

PROPOSED NEW LANDING-STAGE.

A report by Sir W. Cubitt on this subject was read,
which, after some discussion, was referred to the Finance
Committee. The report was relative to a modified land-
ing-stage suitable for the accommodation of the channel
steamers, but not intended to accommodate the larger
class, or ocean steamers, as they are called. The expense
of the modified plan, it was stated in the report, would be
from £lOO,OOO to £115,000.
