FREE-TRADE CONVERSIONS.

A corres3ondent of our Whig contemporary, the
Albion, gave us recently a nice little morceau, on the
subject of the effect of Free Trade. He says, in reply to
some observations in the Mail:—

"The state of the home trade, I presume, A cotton-
broker does not take into :account at all. I have been
accustomed to consider it the most important, but what
is to become of it with wheat at 30s. to 355. per quarter.
the probable price, for at an important port abroad I
understand it was lately sold at 20s. per quarter. I hope
the Mail's correspondent will answer the question • and
it would be an additional favour his telling us if the
French and other foreigners, ship-carpenters, who are now
to build our ships for us, will come over to Manchester
and buy their jackets and trowsers, as our own ship-
carpenters have done, for I do not think they will send for
them with the high tariffs as applies to cur manufactures
in their respective countries."
Go on gentlemen all ! You will come round to us bye
and bye.
What, however, is the amount of thanks which we are
reaping for our free trade concessions,from these foreigners,
whom we are subsidizing at the expense of our artizans, our
ship carpenters, and others-, for whose benefit we are
ruining our agriculturists and destroying our home trade ?
our thanks are—ridicule!! We have before us a very
beautifully got up illustrated publication—a sort of Ger-
man " Punch," which conveys the continental impres-
sions as to our present commercial policy. One engraving
represents a figure of death bearing the banner of free trade,
introducing the products of Swiss and German handicraft
into Great Britain. The Gallic cock looks on in the rear of
the procession, whilst the British lion, " with spectacles on
learned nose," is welcoming death's contribution to the
comforts of cur poor artivms. The companion picture
shows German handicraft in the enjoyment of luxury and
joviality. The pincers are waltzing with the plyers, the
vice, with pipe in mouth, sets to the callipers, with ditto ;
the hammer and the nail are dos a dos, and the sleeve
board is stealing a kiss from the needle, behind the friendly
stride of the sheers. Pipes and beer are in abundance.-
And in the distance are smoking factory chimnies, and all
the signs of well employed industry. In the left fore-
ground are the British Lion, sweating boneath the weight
of a bale of woollens, and the Gallic cock, travelling by
rail towards the happy land, with a bale under his left
wing, and an expectant purse in his bill. But there is a
bar, double locked, on either side, guarded by the German
eagle, beyond which neither may pass. The lesson is
altogether most instructive, but not at all encouraging to
the suffering English artizan.

ST. JUDE'S ScnooLs.—On Sunday last, the sum of
£72 was collected in St. Jude's Church, after sermons by
by tbe Rev. Drs. M'Neile and Carpenter, in behalf of the
schools in connexion with the church.
EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a meet-
ing of the Board of Examiners on Friday, the 28th ult.,
held at the board room, No. 8, Exchange-alley North,
Captain William Daly, late master of the "Abigail," and
of the " Condor," of Liverpool, was examined and found
duly qualified for a first class master's certificate.
FATAL ACCIDENT, LAST NIGHT.—Last night, a poor
lad, named Hopkinson, who obtained a livelihood by sell-
ing chips, met his death while in the pursuit of his avoca-
tion. The accident occurred in Paddington, the particu-
lars of which we were unable to ascertain, further than
that the deceased was knocked down by a brewer's dray,
the wheels of which passed over his body, and that he
died almost instantaneously>
THE ART UNION OF LIVERPOOL.—This society has
been established for the general advancement of the fine
arts, and it oTers (as may be seen from an advertisement)
unusual advantages to the members. The obActs of the
society will be carried out according to the provisions of
the act for legalising art unions, and not with a view to
private gain. Not only will the subscribers encourage
a more chaste and correct taste in the fine arts, but they
will themselves become entitled to the full value of their
subscriptions in some work of art.

COLLECTION AT TIIE COLLEGIATE SCHOOLS FOR POOR
FAMILIES WHICH HAVE SUFFERED FROM CHOLERA.—
The schools of the Collegiate Institution having been re-
markably preserved from cholera (only two cases having
occurred, and but one of them fatal), a feeling lately arose
among the masters that a day of humble thanksgiving
ought to be appointed, and a collection made for the suf-
ferers in the town. Last laturday, being the day which
concluded the quarter, was set apart by the principal for
this purpose,—special mention was made of the subject
at morning prayers, and the sum of £2B ss. led. collected.

THE SEACOMBE AND EGREMONTFERRIES.—A corres-
pondent of the Albion of last week complains of the un-
civil conduct of the officials connected with the Egremont
and New Brighton Boats, and also of their great irregu-
larity, At present, he says, they have become a mono-
poly, and he adds—
" The term of the lease of the Seacombe Ferry is drawing to
a close, and I am told that the proprietors of the Egremont and
New. Brighton Ferries are trying to obtain the renewal of it.
Should they succeed, the inhabitants of our peninsula will be
entirely at their mercy, both as to the quality of the boats and
the terms they may see fit to charge. I trust this will never
happen."
We can console him as to the Seacombe Ferry. The
lease of the Messrs. Parry has several years to run ; and
as to any treaties being negotiating for the ferry, seven or
eight years is a long time to. negotiate beforehand.
THEATRE-ROYAL.—Mr. Copeland, the spirited mana-
ger of the Theatre-Royal, has announced another musical
treat, to consist of six operatic performances, the first of
which will be given on Thursday evening next, and the
others on each consecutive evening. The principal names
in the programme are familiar to Liverpool connoisseurs ;
they are Sims Reeves, Whitworth, Miss Lacombe, Le-
-1 venu (conductor), &c. &c. The operas selected are
equally familiar with the artistes, leading off with " Lucia
di Lammermoor" and "La Sonnambula." Every lover
of music and the drama must appreciate the exertions
made by the gentleman who at present presides over the
affairs.of our Theatre-Royal to provide for the public en-
tertainment of the first class.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--A serious casualty oc-
curred on the night of Saturday week near the Edge-hill
station, the particulars of which, strange to say, have not
previously been made public. From information con-
veyed to us by a party residing in the immediate vicinity
of the scene of the accident, it appears that about nine
o'clock on the night referred to, a girl, sixteen years of
age, whose name is Mary Jane Jones, and who resided as
servant with a family occupying one of those neat and ru-
ral-like houses so well known as the Spekefield Cottages,
was sent out on an errand, for which purpose she had to
cross the Liverpool and Manchester line of railway, as
well as several lines of rails beyond, which have recently
been laid down to effect a junction with the tunnel lead-
ing to the docks. This wide area of rails was passed over
in safety by the girl on going, but not so as she returned.
As the poor girl was re-crossing the main line, she was
knocked down by an engine which with a tender was com-
ing up with considerable speed from the Victoria tunnel.
The wheels of the engine passed over the poor creature's
legs, which were so frightfully fractured as to render it
necessary that immediate amputation of both limbs should
be effected ; the sufferer is at present lying in a precarious
state at the Infirmary, whither she was conveyed imme-
diately after the accident took place. We hope that the
railway company will take some steps t'o prevent the re-
currence of a similar casualty, and as we believe they have
already adopted some regulation with a view of guarding
against it, we may as well inform them that according to
the opinions of well-informed persons in the locality, the
regulation in question will act in direct opposition to their
presumed intention.

INTERESTING BOAT-RACE ON THE MERSEY,
BY RIVER BOATMEN.

Yesterday, the Jong-expected rowing match between
two Liverpopl river gig boats, rowed by boatmen, (and
which, owing to a preliminary contest, had roused public
curiosity,) came off on the Cheshire side. The contest
was between two crews, belonging the one to the north
and the other to the south end of the town, and amongst
whom a spirit of rivalry (and we hope a generous one)
has for some time existed. The match was but for a
small amount—RlO a-side—but it was not the less
vigorously contested. The race was announced, by pla-
card, to commence at two o'clock ; but four was the
real hour of starting. The Tranmere river steamer
William Fawcett was hired for the occasion from Mr.
Willoughby, of the ferry, by Mr. Charles Church, inn-
keeper, of Denison-street, to convey parties desirous of
accompanying the race, at a moderate charge, (with
excellent refreshments,) and the assemblage on board was
numerous, though not so great as might be expected,
owing to the shortness of the notice by placard, and the
consequent general impulse to land at Tranmere slip, and
thence view the contest. The William Fawcett was gaily
decorated with flags, and a good brass band, from Mr.
Joliffe's, enlivened the proceedings. The other Tranmere
steam-boats were crowded to excess. and towards three
o'clock the entire length of the long pier. and the vessels
near it, presented dense masses of company. There were
also great numbers of open boats, fishing-boats, little
yachts, &c., under oar or sail, all densely peopled ; and,
but for the haziness of the day, with a slight drizzling
rain, the sight would have been most animating. As it
was, the view, generally, was distinct, and all was highly
satisfactory.
The course was from off the Tranmere slip, southward,
round the most southerly quarantine hulk, abreast of the
New Ferry, and back to the place of starting. The whole
distance is about four miles. The wind was almost due
east, and very light, so that the rowers had no seaway to
contend against, though a strongish tide in pulling up the
river. Many little contests took place between rowing
boats before the starting, for mere fun.
The two boats entered for the contest were "The Star
of Temperance," and " The Helen," or, (as we were
otherwise informed,) " The James." The " Star" was
painted blue, was manned by boatmen belonging to our
North Shore, and the "James, " (or " Helen, ")
painted green, by boatmen belonging to the South Shore.
Both boats were built by our townsman, Mr. William
Jones ; both were about 22 feet in length, over all ; and
as both presented nearly similar and fine lines, there was
little to choose between them ; but considerable betting,
nevertheless, took place on board the Wm. Fawcett,
many of those present being sporting characters in aqua-
tics.

The crew of the " Star," (four oars) were—Cornelius
Green, (stroke oar) ; Samuel Bunn, (Red Sam) ; John
Fitzpatrick, William Aller, (or Adams,) John Lock, (cox-
swain.)
"The Helen"—Joseph Davies, (stroke oar,) Thomas
Lewis, Wm. Humphries, Thos. M`Nab, and William
Collins, (coxswain.)
The toss between the respective coxswains for berths
was won by the blue boat, and she took the shore, or
inside course. The crews wore white Guernsey shirts,
and each crew had distinguishing and uniform caps.
At the start, which was highly exciting, the blue boat,
the Star, took a decided lead in a few strokes of her oars,
and maintained it throughout. It was, however, a close
and remarkably well contested race. At the close of the
run of about four miles, the Star, North-shore-man, beat
the southerner by about six to eight boats' length. Both
boats were loudly cheered on reaching the goal, The
distance was accomplished in 28 minutes. There was some
slight dispute relative to the starting, but this was settled
by the umpires, Mr. Luke and Mr. Cole, and was ad-
judged to be fair.
Another race, got up at the moment, took place be-
tween two Liverpool gigs, the Mary and the John and
William, over nearly the same course. This was even a
more close contest, the first beating the other by only a
length and a half. It is remarkable that the crews of the
winning boats were, for the most part, comparatively old
men.

MISS WHITNALL'S GRAND ANNUAL CONCERT

This great musical treat, which has always been looked
forward to as one of the events of the season by the mu-
sical world, was given last night, under distinguished
patronage, and introducing to the Liverpool public the
first musical talent of the world. The house was an ex-
cellent one, so far as the boxes, stalls, and pit were con-
cerned. As to the other portions, we were not in a posi-
tion to see them •, but we trust. for the sake of the fair
beneficiare, that they were equally satisfactory. The ex-
pense gone to by Miss \Thitnall was enormous; and so
much enterprize was deserving of the fullest reward.
The first piece given was the duetti from Donizetti's
Elisir d'Amore—"Venti Sicudr—by Signors Calzolari
and Belletti, which was very nicely sung. In fact, the
excellence of both singers put the audience in great good
humour. The great basso, Lablache, appeared next, and
rave " Non pin, Andrai," in his•own unequalled style.
• He was received most rapturously, and heartily applauded.
Madame Sontag next gave the recitative and aria from
Donizetti's "0 Luce di quiest Amina" in most splendid
style. We have not ourselves heard this celebrated vo-
calist since hor retircmcnt, some years ago, from the stage
into what we trusted was the prosperous and happy walks
of private life, in a distinguished position. But if it was
possible for such talents as hers to rust in such a life, this
effort proved at once that they had nut done so. Her
forte was that of other days—full, deep, rich ; her piano
the most beautiful that we ever heard from any artiste.
The lowest, most subdued of her notes were heard as dis-
tinctly throughout the house as if every delighted listener
had' been in immediate proximity to her, apparently,
effortless warbling. 'She was encored most enthusiasti-
cally.
Signor Calzolari sung next a beautiful aria from Mo-
zart's Don Giovanni—" 11 mio tesoro"-very beautifully.
His fine natural voice, without the slighest approach to
falsetto, was admirable ; and the feeling which he threw
into the attain elicited an unanimous encore.

Signor &Heti followed, in Rica's " Sulla Poppa,"
which he sung splendidly, and was rewarded with an en-
core.

M. Thalberg played a fantasia on subjects from Lucretia
Borgia in his usual fine style.
Miss Whitnall's song. " Sandy and Jenny," was very
finely sung, and was enthusiastically-encored. We have
little time left to remark upon more than Thalberg's
splendid fantasia, which was encored, Sontag's duetto
with Miss Whitnall's sul aria, which was a fine piece of
vocalism, and the duetto by Signor Lablache and F. La-
blache, and Sontag's bolero, which was a most splendid
performance. _ _

In the second part the gems were the singing lesson—
Sontag and Lablache—and " Home, sweet home," by
Sontag, which was sung three times. A more beautiful
English piece of vocalism we neverheard. We regret that
we are compelled to pause ; but we must state that no con-
cert in this town was ever more satisfactory to the audi-
ence. and we hone that its results will prove equally so
to Miss Whanall.

ALDERLEY EDGE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

week or two since, I made up my mind to rest
from my labours, and rusticate. But where : that was
the question. In Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, lam an
old traveller, and felt quite undecided which of the sister
countries to visit. Come, said my friend, 'tis not always
distance lends enchantment to the view ; I know a beauti-
ful spot in the neighbourhood of Manchester. How I
laughed at the idea. Nevertheless, as he seemed per-
fectly in earnest, I joined him, and we put ourselves in
the railway, and I made up my mind to be disappointed.
Every journey has an end, and ours ended at Alderley
Edge. Come, said I, as we paced the magnificent hotel,
and prepared for a good dinner, (which, by the bye, quite
answered our expectations,) this is not so bad. But now
for the scenery, said our friend, and away we trudged up
a moderately steep hill, beautifully studded with mansions,
cottages, and gardens, and after a pleasant hour's stroll,
we arrived at the top of the Edge. Here, a view burst
upon us, which, as we are neither painters nor poets,
excels our powers of description. The Edge, or hill, is
broken and precipitous, but can easily be traversed by the
footpaths, which run in every zigzag direction, inter—
spersed with trees and wells of pure water. The scenery
from the top excels, in beauty and richness of landscape,
the Vale of Clwyd. As far as the eye can traverse it is
one huge park, variegated with mansions and cottages,
which appear only to have been placed, or rather dropped,
into their positions to add effect to the scenery. We
slept soundly, and arose the next morning like giants re-
freshed. It was Sunday, so after a hearty breakfast, we
started for Alderley Church, which is about two miles
from the hotel. We had seen many beautiful villas and
mansions, but these all sunk into insignificance after visit-
ing the rectory. The venerable and splendid church, with
its old ycw trees—in the inside of one of which, by the
bye, eight or nine persons could find shelter, we availed
ourselves of its hospitable trunk, and as we gazed upon
the lovely scene before us, we mentally exclaimed these
people can know nothing of the sin and misery with
which the world abounds : everything seemed so tranquil,
peaceful, and happy. We left the spot with regret and
many a lingering look. We cannot speak in too high
terms of the civility and attention we met with at the
hotel. Everybody seemed desirous to please, even the two
large and beautiful Newfoundland dogs belonging to the
hotel who accompanied us in our rambles.—Yours, &c..
A LOVER OF THE COUNTRY.

THE NEW TWO-SHILLING PIECE.—We are informed
by a gentleman from London, that the government have
stopped the issue of the new coin, in consequence of the
strong popular feeling manifested at the absence on it of
the recognition of the supreme sovereignty of God, in the
letters " D. G., F. D.," hitherto imprinted on our whole
coinage. The coin is to be re-issued with the letters
added. We are sure this will be highly satisfactory to our
readers.

CHURCH EXTENSION.—An advertisement in another
column directs the attention of the public to the opening
of the new church of St. Matthew's, Toxteth, on Sunday
next, when two sermons will be preached, on behalf of the
building fund, by the Lord Bishop of Chester and Rev.
Fielding Ould. St. Matthew's, Toxteth, has been erected
in the midst of a poor and dense population ; and a con-
siderable portion of the sittings which is contains will be
free, or let at low rates, adapted to the circumstances of
the labouring classes. We understand that the money
hitherto raised by the building committee is not sufficient
to defray the necessary expense, which has been unex-
pectedly increased during the progress of the undertaking.
We trust, therefore, that the appeal to be made on Sun-
day next will be followed by liberal collections. Such
calls upon Christian benevolence deserve the serious
attention of all who have the ability to respond to them,
and who desire to relieve the spiritual destitution of their
fellow men.
