on the spot, it seems to be the general opinion that in a
mine of such a great extent —one mile and a half from
the pit's-eye to the extremity of the workings—there
ought to be more than one air-pit, and that if this had
been the case, the accident would not have happened. It
is not, however, denied, that the general system of venti-
lation of the mine is good.
It will be recollected that this is not the first great and
fatal disaster which has happened at this mine. In March
last an explosion took place in the same pit, when 60 lives
were lost. On that occasion a subscription was entered
into, and upwards of £1,700 were collected in aid of the
widows and orphans of the victims. A committee was
appointed to distribute the funds so collected, of which
Mr. Winstanley, of Wigan, was elected secretary. An
allowance has since been paid weekly to several widows
and orphans, Saturday being the day of payment ; and it
is somewhat singular that the usual weekly payments had
not been paid more than two hours on Saturday last,
before the present lamentable occurrence took place. In
consequence of several of the recipients of this fund
having from time to time obtained employment, not more
than one-half of the sum subscribed has been expended ;
and it will, very likely, to some extent, be made available
for the support of those who have been reduced to a state
of destitution by the terrible calamity which has now
taken place.
The proprietors of the Ince-hall Company are furnish-
ing coffins, and intend to defray the entire funeral ex-
penses of those who have been victims to the accident.

THE RAILWAY KING.—In the Court of Queen's Bench,
on Saturday, an action was brought by a French Count
(Seraincourt) against Mr. George Hudson, M.P., to recover
damages for breach of contract iu the sale of 20,000 tons
of Scotch pig iron, for railway purposes in France. The
jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict for
the plaintiff, damages £4,000.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.

TO TILII EDITOR OF TEE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Stu,—WZl you allow me, in your valuable journal, the
opportunik of a word or two of explanation and apology
to my friends, in reference to the bill-which appeared on
the walls of this town, calling upon them to assemble at
the Amphitheatre on Friday last,.
A friend called upon me, on .Thursday evening,
with a circular which had been presented to him in the
neighbourhood of Holy Cross Mass-house, bearing the
names of Rathbone. Shell, Aspinall, &anthers, urging the
inhabitants is assemble at the meeting +convened by the
Mayor, and outvote the enemies of civil ard religious liberty.
At the mordent tins bill was presented to me, while
looking at the,names thus appended to it, it occurred to
my mind that ~.the religious toleration of those gentlemen
and their party is well described in the.Mussulman's logic
—" Believe, or.l will cut your head off.;" and, indeed, and
of a truth, bares not mistaken, for the.,conduct of one of
these worthiPszt the Sessions-house in his puny efforts
to drive all out .but his clique,—was an apt illustration,
until brought :in contact with Alderman 'Parker, who
speedily drove him to his Marybone stronghold. I, there-
fore, deemed it }light that the real friends of civil and
religious liberty-sbould have the opportunity of meeting
this conspiracy ,in open discussion, knowing that all
meetings of magnitude and importance had been held in
the Amphitheatve,—never thinking for a moment that
that dread of open discussion which shields the-Vatican
would have its effects in Liverpool, and thousands be pre-
. vented expressing .their indignation at the attempts of
government to unfrotestantize and unelnistianize this
country.
However, I hone :that the castigation inflicted by the
;y'orthy Dr. M`Neile, and the exposure of the designs of
'Popery which the reverend gentleman had the opportunity
,cf making, will not lose their effects upon Romanists, and
Rill atone, in some measure, tor the disappointment Con-
servative Protestants I,ad to endure.—l remain,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-TUESDAY, FED. 21

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presente&ePpetition from
Lord Ebrington,,eomplaining of the lastirection for Barn-
staple; and theikouse shortly afterwards adjourned.

THURSDAY, FEB. 23.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY.—The Earl of DEBBY called
attention to the efforts now being made by the governing
body of the University of Oxford to reform itself, as well
as to the petition which it had presented to the Crown
praying to be allowed to alter the Caroline Statutes. He
believed that the government disapproved the plan pro-
posed by the Hebdothadal Board, and that it was about to
bring forward a measure of university reforni. He asked
whether the government would communicate_ its plan to
the Hebdomadal Board before submitting it to parliament.
—The Earl of ABERDEEN said it was not at present the
intention of government to submit its plans of university
reform to the Hebdomadal Board.

CAVALRY BY STEAM.-ITTSRSWEr to the Earl of Cardigan
whether it were not the intention of government to employ
steam-vessels to transport artillery and cavalry to the
East.—The Duke of NEWCASTLE said it would be impossi-
ble to carry out the force mentioned by Lord Cardigan in
steam-vessels. Even the transport of 20,000 infantry had
been attended with considerable inconvenience to the great
steam companies, whose lines of traffic would be entirely
deranged if any further calls were made by government on
their resources.

hum TENANT RIGHT.—A discussion arose as to the
second reading of the six bills relating to the law of land-
lord and tenant in Ireland, in which several lords took
part, and the second reading of the bills was ultimately
postponed for a week.

TiOOPS IN TiIiIWEST INDIES.—Lord DESAIIT called
attention to the withdrawal of troops from the West India
Islands, a step which had been attended with much alarm
and some danger to the inhabitants.—The Duke of NEW-
CASTLI defended it, on the ground that the troops were
employed in doing the duty of police. He thought the
colonists ought to provide their own police, and that it
was no part of the duty of a government to find troops for
such service. The matter dropped, and the house shortly
afterwards adjourned.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1854.

ter, he thought the expense should be borne by the
national funds.—Lord J. Russzu, justified the abolition
of a test which was not applicable to the present religiona
state of Scotland, and distinguished between the national
system in Ireland and that proposed in relation to reit•
gions instruction. Ultimately leave was given to bring
in the bill. Some minor business was transacted, and th 6
house adjourned at half-past ten. •

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

COT ToN.—(From W.P. Wright's Circular; Feb.l4).
The market here during the past week has suffered by the
adverse accounts received per Pacific, and it has been
difficult to buy or sell at satisfactory prices, buyers
demanding a reduction greater than holders are willing to
submit to. The business, therefore, has been to a.
smaller extent than in any of the fifteen weeks preceding,
and amounts to 3,700 bales, of which 1,229 have been for
export, 1,871 for home use, 451 on speculation, and 149 in
transitu. The southern markets are all lower, under the
accounts per Arabia. In New Orleans and Mobile a severe
monetary pressure is also adding its influence in putting
down prices. The deficiency in receipts at the ports, as
compared with last season, is this week slightly reduced,
and now amounts to 615,000 bales.
The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist September last, as compared with the pre-
vious three years :-
1854. 1853: 1852. 1851.
ReceiptA at the Porte, 1,457,000 2,072,000 1,564,000 1,446,000
Exports to Gt. Britain, 441,000 846,000 526,000 442,000
I France 161,000 146 COO 197,000 188,000

Total Exports 700,000 1,1300 ,0 823,000 734,000
Stock on hand 184,000 670,000 534,000 659,000

From which it will be seen that the decrease in receipts
now amounts to 615,000 bales ; the decrease in exports to
Great Britain, 405;000; other foreign ports, 40,000. In-
crease to France, 15,000. Total decrease in exports,
430,000 bales.

abundantly supplied, rate of interest prime paper four
months being 9to 10; rate on call, 7. Fancy stocks,

FRIDAY, FRB. 24.

HAnnouns.—ln answer to a question, Mr. CATIDVIVI
said, the inquiry of the commissioners into the state °,
the harbours on the coast had terminated, and he expected
to be able shortly to lay their report on the table.
SEIZURES OF GUNPOWDER.—In reply to some rem**,
with reference to -a statement which had appeared tilt.
some seizures of gunpowder had been made, Mr.
WiLsoN explained the circumstances and the measurev
adoPted to prevent the exportation of munitions of rir
to quarters where they might be used against this coal
or its allies, but did not consider that he should be just!'
fled in stating the names of the persons referred to, as it
did not follow that they were cognizant of the whole
transaction.

NAVAL NEGLIGENCE.—In answer to a question whether
it was true that one of Her Majesty's frigates was in great
danger of foundering at her anchor, and, if so, whether
the Admiralty had instituted any inquiries relative to ths
same, Sir J. GRAITAM said, such an accident was nearlY
happening, and from inquiry it appeared to have been
owing to great carelessness on the part of those whose'
duty it was especially to guard against such accidents.
Inquiries were being made on the subject, and the matter
would be fully investigated.
MILITARY DEFENCES.—Sir J. WALsir called attention
to the inadequacy of the military establishments of the
country to meet the exigencies of the impending war,
urging the danger of committing the error of under;
rating its importance. In 1848-49 the army consisted 0!
113,847 men, and it numbered now, with the propose°
increase, less than 113,000 men, which was not a still'
cient provision for a great emergency like the present.
Several members having spoken on the question, Lord
RussEL.t. remarked that the debate was taking a coarse
contrary to all former practice, and suggested that the
house should go into committee of supply upon the army
estimates.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1854-02-28

THE EASTERN WAR.

It is again stated that the assurances given by the
Austrian and Prussian Governments on the Eastern
Question are of the most satisfactory character.
In Paris it is stated that a plan is afoot for detaching
30,000 to 40,000 men of the expeditionary armies, and
sending them to the Crimea, when they would attack
Sebastopol by land, whilst the fleets attacked it by sea.
CONSTIaIIIffOPLE, FEB. 13.—A treaty has been con-
cluded between the Porte and France and England,
relative to future negotiations with Rusia.

The Sheik Al Islam has advanced 100,000,000 piastres
to the Porte, and expressed his willingness to make
farther sacrifices.

One English and two French officers have been ap-
pointed to actual command in the Danubian army-
General. Guyon has been appointed Chief of the
Engineering Staff of the Armenian army.
At Athens the University and Gymnasia' Schools have
Veen closed, so many of the students having joined the
insurgents.

The English Ambassador was extremely reserved, anxt
evidently waited instructions from his government.
ST. PETERSBURG, FEB. 15.—Phince Paskievritch is ap-
pointed to- the supreme command of the Danubian army.
Orders have been sent to the Russian fleets neither to
seek nor to avoid a collision.

INSURRECTION IN GREECE.
(Front the Second Edition V the' 777ne8)

VIENNA,- SUNDAY.—The following. is the tenor of a
most important article in the journal Attstrian Corres-
pondence :—" The latest news leaves no' doubt that the
insurrection on=the frontiers of Greece is extending. This
is to be lamented- as it adds to the complication of the
Eastern Questions The Greek insurrectionOf not checked
in time, may become dangerous to the conservative
interests of Europe. When the official organ of the
French Government. condemns insurrectionary- movements
in general, and that: in particular above mentioned, it has
the perfect approval of Austria. The sentiments expressed
in the Moniteur apply to all cases, and to all the phases
which this ill-omened Oriental question may pass through."
(From the Second Edition of the Morning Chronicled
VIENNA, SUNDAY EVENING--The insurgents- have
taken the citadel of Arts,. and are also reported tatutve
tftken Prevesa.

An insurrection has broken out in Grybos, equal, in
gravity to that in Albania.. Two great Genera and
several Stall-officers have joined the insurgents.
The Greek Government dreads the extensive desertion
of its soldiery. Preliminary measures had been taken,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORpS-TUESDAY,

,Alhe Earl of SHAVTESBURY presented a petition from
Lord Ebrington, complaining of the last election for Barn-
staple; and the house shortly afterwards adjourned.

THURSDAY, FEB. 23.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY.—The Earl of DERDY called
attention to the efforts now being made by the governing
body of the University of Oxford to reform itself, as well
as to the petition which it had presented to the Crown
praying to be allowed to alter the Caroline Statutes. He
believed that the government disapproved the plan pro-
posed by the Hebdomadal Board, and that it was about to
bring forward a measure of university reform. He asked
whether the government would communicate its plan to
the Hebdomadal Board before submitting it to parliament.
—The Earl of ABERDEEN said it was not at present the
intention of government to submit its plans of university
reform to the Hebdomadal Board.

CAVALRY BY STEA.M.—In answer to the Earl of Cardigan
whether it were not the intention of government to employ
steam-vessels to transport artillery and cavalry to the
East.—The Duke of NEWCASTLE said it would be impossi-
ble to carry out the force mentioned by Lord Cardigan in
steam-vessels. Even the transport of 20,000 infantry had
been attended with considerable inconvenience to the great
steam companies, whose lines of traffic would be entirely
deranged if any further calls were made by government on
their resources.
Inuit TENANT RIGHT.—A discussion arose as to the
second reading of the six bills relating to the law of land-
lord and tenant in Ireland, in which several lords took
part, and the second reading of the bills was ultimately
postponed for a week.
TROOPS IN THE WEST INDIES.—Lord DESART called
attention to the withdrawal of troops from the West India
Islands, a step which had been attended with much alarm
and some danger to the inhabitants.—The Duke of NEW-
CASTLE defended it, on the ground that the troops were
employed in doing the duty of police. He thought the
colonists ought to provide their own police, and that it
was no part of the duty of a government to find troops for
such service. The matter dropped, and the house shortly
afterwards adjourned.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

Ifssuftivslan.--The market has been dull and inanimate
all week:; but prices, on the whole, continue firm. The de-
mand fort.the-Indizi market seems, for the present, satiated;
and the upward tendency in the value of yarns having now no
support from the Liverpool cotton market—ithe later Ameri-
can OCCOliti:S having rendered that market dull and rather
weaker—buyers for export are less desirous to give nul their
orderse whilst manufacturers act very warily. The recent
operations for India have caused considerable-scarceness in
sme numbers of male yarns, for which spinners are under
contracts of several weeks' duration, and prices are very
firni. at extreme rates. The cloth market continues dull,
more especially as regards the home trade houses; thus,
printing cloths are still without demand, and stocks begin-
ning to accumiate, buyers claim an advantaLre. The same
want of demand is observable in domestics-for home use, but
the purchases of the lighter descriptions, for export,
p-ices of these steady. T-cloths show little change, -Low
skirtings and jaccoaets, though less inquired for, are scare
and.firm.

Leans.--We have Lad dull markets at our Cloth Halls,and
the business done by commission hands has been of the same
rcharacier. !'rives remain firm, in consequence of the low
state of the stocks and the firm tone of the wool market. The
tttiHs continue to be pretty well employed. Business has
been dull in the home trade warehouses, but there has been
pretty considerable sales made for the Canadian market, yet,
on the whole, the transactions have been below an average
amount.

1314,11 FORD.—Wool: The disposition to sell Wool is in-
creaiins,; but the condition of the spinning trade is so dis-
couraging that no one will buy wool, except on the narrowest
possiltle scale. Frior to Bristol fair (the first Wednesday in
harsh), there is usually n move of stock, tilt this year every-
thing is as dull as it Can be. The high prices which were
paid last clip-day could no be met by the spinners; and the
demand has altogether been one of n very unsteady anti
equally unrernnuerating character to all engaged.—Yarns:
The demand for spools ,a limited, and fur shipping the busi-
ness is very inactive.—Pieces: The manufacturers are all
complaining of the dull state of trade; the inquiries are
almost entirely political, and sales are neglected.
NorriNaltAm.--No change in the condition of either the
hosiery or lice trades, each remaining as dull as for many
weeks past. If any alteration in the price of yarn, it is the
turn in favour of the buyer.

SUPPLY.

The house went into acomiciitee of supply,
Mr. W. WILLIAMS drew attention to the great number
of admirals and captains on the half-pay liak and to various
charges, which he reviewed as extravagant and uncalled for.
Sir J. GRAHAM referred the hon. member to the
arrangement made three years ago as to the number of
officers on the half-pay list, observing that the number
had, been largely reduced, as compared with former years.
A* regards the system of promotion, certain changes would
be found indispensable. The charges complained off had
arisen mainly in connexion with changes lately intro-
duced in our dockyards, in the construction
. of ships.
Various reforms were in contemplation, and would be
carried into effect at a more opportune period.
The first vote for £50,000, for naval coast volunteers,
after a brief discussion, was agreed to.
Sir J. GRAHAM stated that no resort to a system of
bounties had been found necessary, volunteers having
cope forward in abundance.
A desultory discussion arose on the vote for Naval Stores
and several other votes, which were ultimately agreed to.
Admiral I.V.facorr expressed his satisfaction at the
high terms in which the predecessors of the present go-
vernment in the Admiralty department had been spoken ef.
The remaining votes were then proposed seriatim, and
agreed to.
In answer to a question from Mr. WILLIAMS,
Sir J. GRAHAM referred to the great efforts made within
the last fortnight, in conveying 10,000 men to the Medi-
terranean. He thanked the house for the support it
afforded government in
passing the Estimates for the
Naval Service.
Mr. MONSELL, in bringing forward the Ordnance Esti-
mates, stated that the increase in several would, in some
cases, lead to a permanent saving. The increase in ques-
tion related chiefly to
the Royal Artillery, and the
increased recruiting at our naval ports, for which no
reason need be given. He compared the condition of the
present artillery force with that in the peninsular cam-
Paigns, Pointing out its immensely increased efficiency,
in number and condition. Of the horses sent out, the
rise in the price of fodder had caused a great increase of
expense. There was an increase in wages of £20,309,

bin:diens uf men agxims- t masters less frequent. Such an
argument is abanrclly ridiculods, for if masters were
willing to-receive their workmen as partners, the latter,
who have nothingto lose but the capital they have em-
barked, can never:be deterred by any liabilities under the
present system. The objections raised by Mr. CALnwnta,
to granting the-special privileges conferred by Charters of
Incorporation, may, or may not, be founded in 'justice
with reference to the particular cases in which they have
been denied; but they by no means amount to a sufficient
reason for inflicting upon the mercantile community the
far greater evil of altering the law, so that partners may
of their own will set up a right to.limited liability. The
question mainly depends upon the nature of the under-
taking, and the decision as to the validity of the claim is
very properly vested in a responsible. Minister of State
and, it he be neglectful of his duty, in the last Court of
Appeal—the High Court of Parliament. The only excep-
tion to this rule is -the Stannaries Court of Cornwall,
specially applicable to mining, and peculiarly adapted to
this hazardous species of adventure; and a bill is now
before the House of Commons for extending the same law
to the county of Devon, where mining, for copper, lead,
and other metals, is carried on to a considerable extent.
By this, which is known as the cost-book system, calls
are regularly made as money is wanted, and the directors
have no authority to pledge the credit of the shareholders,
or incur any liability, beyond the amount contributed.
Shareholders can also at any time dispose of their shares,
or by surrendering them to the remainder free themselves
from any further loss. This system, it will be seen, is
particularly appropriate to mining adventures, which are
purely speculative, resulting in large profits or absolute
lose, but is in no way applicable to ordinary mercantile
pursuits, in which necessarily third parties as creditors
are largely interested. It may be possible, however, to
show other instances in which a similar system would
beneficially apply, but as all such cases are provided for,
by the means to which we have before alluded, the
position assumed by those who demand an alteration
of the law is not only untenable, but it is fraught with
so much prospective danger to mercantile credit as to
justify the most strenuous opposition to its enactment.
