" Newport Iron Foundry, 21st July, 1840.
" GENTLEMEN,—By your request I have, for several
weeks past, experimented your Bricks in my Works : I have
used them in the Cupelas, and find them wear longer than
any we have used before. In the Reverbei-atory Furnace I
find them still better, as they possess a property I have
never noticed in any other make : that of not shrinking
when exposed to intense heat. This quality will be highly
valuable where elliptic arches, of long span, are required.
I have used the Stourbridge make, and also several others
alongside of them, on the bridge, and found them to main-
tain their shape much better than any I have yet tried.--I
remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

GLUT OF STEAM-VESSELS IN AMERICA

In consequence of the competition in steam navigation,
and the increased number of steam-ships running hither and
thither, from the east to the west, the days of departure from
both sides, of the Queen and President, are to he changed
from the Ist to the 10th of each month. This arrangement
is a good one for us, and equally so for the owners of the
steamers. and also for the passengers. Cunard's steam-ships
start from England on the 4th, and hence on the Ist of every
month, and, therefore, if the two " floating palaces" leave
on the 10th, and the Great Western a week or ten days after,
as she probably will, time will be better divided, the com-
mercial public better pleased, and the whole world will move
on its axis easier:and freer, without the aid of so much grease.
The fact is, steam-ships have multiplied so fast that they
interfere somewhat with each other in the way of passengers.
It hac to han. cno.t +b.t r,,,, o+parn pm and the " Preci.

,e left England and America on the

.s thus having two conveyances were
placed like the ass of Buridan. But they divided—some took
to one steamer, and others to another, and neither came nor
went full, whereas if there had been a week between their
departures, both would have bad a fair, if not a full comple-
ment. It has been estimated that the two " floating palaces"
have lost upwards of 400 passengers by Cunard's steamers in
consequence.

Hereafter, however, all will be right, all will be smooth,
except the Atlantic in a gale of wind—all will go fast enough,
and all will go full enough, till a line of American steam-ships
are built and launched, and run as our splendid packets, "the
fastest sailers and the prettiest models in the world," have
been from the year '2O to this day.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Ditc. 17

Some heavy failures in Ireland, have rendered the nerves of
holders of Butter in this market rather unsteady; and more
anxiety, has been evinced to be realising, than we have for several
days back observed. In the mean time prices of fine Butter are
supported whilst middling kinds are to be bought on better terms.
No alteration in pickled Butter,—neither are there any transactions
occurring in Beef or Pork, or Bacon worthy of notice. '

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 15.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 13- Son.)
During the past week the imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal
have again been very moderate, in some degree owing to the
easterly winds which have prevailed; and sales have been effected
to a fair extent of Wheat and Flour at fully the prices last quoted,
and in several instances at an advance of Id to 3d per 70 lbs on the
former, and of about 6cl to gd per sack, and per barrel on the latter
article, sweet and sour; and for every other article in the Corn
trade, our last quotations have been fully supported.
The duty on Rye from foreign ports has increased is 3d per qr
and on Peas Is 6d per qr since Friday last ; on other Grain no al-
teration. Flour in bond has been in a fair demand for export, at 253
to 25s 6d, and some importers demand 26s per barrel; the quo-
tations of Grain in bond are almost nominal.
At this day's market in consequence of the above-noted advance
on Wheat and Flour being steadily demanded, sales of these articles
and of every other article in the trade, were effected only to a very
moderate extent at our quotations.

deration the depressed veluo of agriculture!
produce, and to devise some means to advance the interest
of the farmers. It was agreed to calla general meeting in
Home District, for the purpose of petitioning the Queen to
give her assent to the bill passed by the assembly last ses-
sion, imposing a duty upon agricultural products imported
from the United States ; also, that the Queen would recom-
mend to the Imperial Parliament to admit Canadian wheat
and flour, duty free, into the United Kingdom ; and further,
to bring under the notice of her Majesty the serious difficul-
ties under which the Canadas labour in the transmission of
their expoils and imports.
The Governor-General is ordering surveys and estimates
to be made of the various public improvements which are
most strongly pressed upon his consideration, together with
correct returns of their present and probable revenues, for
the purpose of selecting the more important for immediate
completion. His excellency intends, it is said, to recom-
mend such as he feels will produce competent revenues to
the notice of British capitalists, for the purpose of obtaining
the amount necessary for carrying them into full operation.
There has been some slight local irritation along the fron-
tier and the borders of Lake Oratorio. .A story was put in
circulation that a design was entertained by some sympathis-
ing desperadoes at Rochester to destroy the Canadian steamer
Gore, plying between that place and Toronto, but the captain
contradicted it. As the cold weather approaches, desperate
or mischievous men are setting schemes of evil a-foot, but
nothing serious is apprehended from any of their movements.

ATROCIOUS MURDER AT ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE.

(From the Manchester Guardian)

On Friday evening last, this town was made the scene of
one of the most atrocious and apparently deliberately-planned
murders that it has ever been our lot to record. What adds
to the atrocity of this crime is, that it was perpetrated at no
late hour, but as early as six o'clock in the evening ; nor
was it committed in any secluded spot, but near a great
turnpike-road, and within 140 yards of the centre of the
town of Ashton. The murderous act was committed upon
the premises—a timber-yard—of Mr. Richard Whitfield, a
timber-merchant, joiner and builder, and within 20 yards of
the dwellings of several respectable gentlemen. What ren-
ders the circumstances of this atrocious murder still more
harrowing is the fact, that hitherto nothing has transpired
which can lead to any supposition save that the unfortunate
man has been murdered because he was supposed to be a
" knobstick" by some malcontent sawyers of the town or
neighbourhood. He was almost a stranger in the district,
where he had only worked about two months ; but, in order
to place the circumstances of the case before our readers in
the order of time, it is necessary to commence some time
anterior to the late murderous attempts; for it will appear
in the sequel that there have been no fewer than three, made
at different times, during a turn-out which commenced in
October last.

LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION

The workmen are making considerable progress with the
new building in Shaw-street, and Mr. Tomkinson, the spirited
contractor, seems determimed that no time shall be lost.
Amongst the donations which have been lately received by
the directors, including £5OO from Lord Francis Egerton,
£lOO from Lord Stanley, £5O from the Earl of Wilton, and
£750 from our generous townsman, Josias Booker, Esq., is
one of £25 from Sir Howard Douglas, Bart., formerly a can-
didate for the representation of this borough, and now the
Governor of the lonian Islands. The circumstances under
which this donation was made renders it peculiarly gratifying,
inasmuch as no appeal, direct or indirect, having been made
to the generosity of his excellency, it testifies, in the highest
degree, the interest which he continues to feel in the pros-
perity of Liverpool. We subjoin an extract from the letter
received from Sir Howard, enclosing the donation

" Palace, Corfu, Nov. 23d, 1840

" Gentlemen,—l have read with very great pleasure, in the
Liverpool Standard of the 23d ult., the proceedings that have
taken place in laying the foundation stone of th Liverpool
Collegiate Institution ; and with the most ardent and sincere
hopes and wishes that all the high objects for which that
great educational establishment has been founded may be ob-
obtained, I beg leave to contribute £25 towards its erection.
I trust the smallness of the sum will not be considered
as the measure of my wishes and feelings towards this great
undertaking, but that it will be accepted without adverting to
its comparative insignificancy, &c., &c.

‘1 I have the lionour to he, Gentlemen,
" With m ch respect and regard,
" Your very faithful servant,
" HOWARD DOUGLAS
" The Committee of the Liverpool
Collegiate Institution."

ADHESIVE LABELS.—It cannot be too generally known,
that the very numerous cases of cancer which have lately
prevailed, are attributed by the faculty and scientific men to
moistening the adhesive postage stamps with the tongue or
lips. A little new milk is much preferable, and also causes
them to stick faster, particularly on glazed and smooth letter
paper.—Correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury.—[They
are notoriously clever people at the Liverpool Mercury office;
but we would suggest, notwithstanding, that a glue-kettle
would be more effective, and nearly as convenient as a cream-
ing.—Blackbuns Standard.
