CONSERVATIVE SONGS.

THE QUEEN, IN A BUMPER!
The Queen, in a Bumper !—We'll drink to the crown,
To the sceptre so wildly held o'er us;
For dear are those symbols of ancient renown—
They were dear to our fathers before us !
And, 0! when the spell that is in them falls dead
On the ear and the heart of a Briton,
That moment the glory of England is 110—
That moment her destiny's written!
The Queen of the Isles is no tyrant to fear,
And no faction shall keep her a vassal!
The peasant is free in his cottage—the peer
Is free in the light of his castle ;
And shall not our Queen be, in word and in will,
As free as her people around her ?
0, death to the traitors who, baffling her still,
In fetters would bind, or have bound her.

THE WIVES AND MOTHERS OF BRITAIN.
Let each fill his glass, fill it high to the brim,
For my toast is well worthy a full one;
Nor would I give much for the feelings of him
Who should deem it a vapid or dull one
For him nct the wine-cup deservedly foams,
Whatever gay room he may sit in :
I give you the WOMEN, that brighten our homes—
" The Wives am/ the Mothers of Britain!"
'Tis a toast comprnhensive—it leaves no one out
Whose smiles nn\ke an English hearth pleasant,
From the fair cottage matron that, rosy and stout,
Delights the bold heart of the peasant—
From her to the dame of the stateliest hall

Our proudest nobility sit in ;
And up to the Queen, who presides o'er us all,
The Wives and the Mothers of Britain.
Nor will we forget the sweet rose-buds that glow
Beneath the kind eye of those mothers,
Whose hearts are their own, yet not lung may be so,
But devotedly, meekly another's.
Let us hope that their sons will be patriots true,
Like those in the room that we sit in;
And still be it felt there is reverence due
To the Wives and the Mothers of Britain !

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 28

The imports of British Grain, &c., for the past week, have been
very light, being, for the most part, comprised in :5,850 qrs of Wheat,
4,140 qrs of Oats, and 4,470 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. The
only arrivals from abroad consist of 50 brls of Flour from the
United States and 2,530 brls from Canada. There have been
realised from Bond, during the same period, 1,069 qrs of Wheat,
260 qrs of Barley, and 1,530 qrs of l'eas. Since the date of our
last report, when we had occasion to note rather a better demand
and full prices for Wheat, there has not been much animation in
the trade. Yesterday we had a few buyers at market, and, had
sales been pressed, a somewhat lower range of prices would have
ensued. Flour has met a moderately fair demand : United States
sweet at 335 to 345, Canadian at :12s to 32s 6d : sour parcels have
been sold at 305 per barrel. The very limited supplies of Oats, and
Oatmeal have enabfed the importers to realize rather higher rates :
3s Id per 4801bs has been paid for good Sligo Oats, well-dried, and
263 gd per 2401bs for the best Meal. The purchases, however, have
been confined to the wants of necessitous buyers. The market is
bare of malting Barley : fine English chevalier would bring 40s to
423 per imperial quarter. Most of the recent arrivals of Foreign
Oats have been cleared off at 410 to 43s per quarter. No change
in the value of Beans. A few hundred barrels of United States
Flour, in bond, have been sold at 24s per brl.

The conveyances on

North River are, consequently, in full activity

confidence in the future, from the result of the elections.
CorroN—Maintains its quiet appearance. Prices have not
varied materially, but show a tendency to recede. At Boston,
the market has been very inactive. The arrivals of new cot-
ton have not been offered in the market. A few small parcels
New Orleans were sold at 111 a 12. In the southern ports
the influence of the recent warlike news upon the market
tends to check operations. The new crop, in most quarters,
continues to promise well. The fine weather which has ge-
nerally prevailed for the last few weeks, by facilitating the
most important operation of the planter, that of " picking
out," has materially increased the probabilities of a bug;
yield. The following were the quotations. Liverpool classi

" Newport Iron Foundry, 21st July, 1840

" GENTLEMEN By your request I have, for several weeks
ast, experimented your Bricks in my Works. I have used
iem in the Cupolas, and find them wear longer than any we

have used before. In the Reverberatory 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 maintain their shape much
better than any I have yet tried.

CANADA

All the British provinces appear to be in a state of com-
parative tranquillity. The occasional acts of incendiarism
along the Canada border produce some local transient irrita-
tion, but it amounts to nothing. The preliminary arrange-
ments for the elections to the United Parliament are in
progress, and the canvass 'seems to excite an unusual degree
of interest. The measure of the union of the two provinces,
is gradually becoming acceptable to the people, and all active
opposition has ceased. In whatever way the policy of the
British cabinet may be viewed, it will appear obvious that a
strong disposition to promote strength in the American
Colonies is fully established.
The Canadian papers announce that the British Govern-
ment has directed a survey and report of the condition of all
the harbours on Lake Erie in the Province and the roads
leading to them, with the view to their improvement. The
construction of a M'Adam road from Hamilton, Westward
through Brantford, and the survey of other routes for rail-
roads, indicate the fact that Great Britain is not unmindful
of the agricultural and commercial interests of its people.

CANADA

All the British provinces appear to be in a state of com-
parative tranquillity. The occasional acts of incendiarism
along the Canada border produce some local transient irrita-
tion, but it amounts to nothing. The preliminary arrange-
ments for the elections to the United Parliament are in
progress, and the canvass seems to excite an unusual degree
of interest. The measure of the union of the two provinces
is gradually becoming acceptable to the people, and all active
opposition has ceased, In whatever way the policy of the
British cabinet may be viewed, it will appear obvious that a
strong disposition to promote strength in the American
Colonies is fully established.

The Canadian papers announce that the British Govern-
ment has directed a survey and report of the condition of all
the harbours on Lake Erie in the Province and the roads
leading to them, with the view to their improvement. The
construction of a M'Adam road from Hamilton, westward•
through Brantford, and the survey of other routes for rail-
roads, indicate the fact that Great Britain is not unmindful
of the agricultural and commercial interests of its people.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-12-01

JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENING.—In the English stocks the business
was not very extensive, and the market was rather flat than
otherwise: This is attributed to the continued delivery of
stock in the course of the day. However, the settlement has
passed over altogether satisfactorily, but money, though easy,
now commands 4 per cent. upon Consols, and 5 per cent.
upon all other English stocks. Consols opened at 903 for
money, and 901 for the account, and closed 904 to 4 for
money, and 901 to 1 for the account. Bank Stock is flat at
1581 to 94, but India Stock is firm at 241 to 243. Exchequer
bills have improved par to 2 premium.
Some large purchases of Spanish caused an advance of full
per cent. in the price of that security, and the improvement
in Portuguese was nearly similar. Spanish Atives left off 21
to 4 ; Portuguese 5 per Cents, 354 to 36 ; Portuguese 3 per
Cents„ 22 to 4; Belgian Scrip has reached 14 to 1 premium.
Dutch Stocks are firm, the 24 per Cents. being quoted 51i
to 21 ; Ditto 5 per Cents, 99 to # ; Colombian, 254 to I ;
Mexican 30 to 4; and Danish, 77 to 78.
Railway shares are marked at a shade of decline, and very
few bargains were done. Birmingham are 75 to 77 premium ;
Great Western, 21 to 22 premium ; Gosport, 3 to 4 premium ;
Blackwall, 41 to 1 discount ; Brighton, 12/ to 12 discount ;
South Western, 53 to 54 per share ; and North Midland, 30
to 28 discount.

There was rather more business doing to-day in the foreign
exchanges. The exchange on Hamburgh was a trifle higher.
Paris and Amsterdam remain much the same as last post.
SATURDAY EVENING.—The funds continue to improve
and Consols closed to-day at 90/ to for money, and for the
opening at 901 buyers. Bank Stock was 158 k to 94. India
Stock 242 to 4. Exchequer bills improved to 4s to 6s pre-
mium.

Business in the Foreign market was without any interest.
The Peninsular fancy concerns, called bonds, were on the
decline. Portuguese Two-and-a-Half per cents (falsely
called Fives), were 35/ to /, the One-and-a-Half per cents.
(falsely called Threes), 22 to 1. Spanish Active with the
Coupons 231 to 4, Brazilian 73 to 4. Mexican 304- to 1.
Colombian 251 to 11. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per cents 51i
to 21- the Five per cents 99 to -1. Belgian 97 to 8.
London and Birmingham Railway Shares were 76 to 8,
Great Western 22 to 3 premium. South Western 53 to 4
per share. North Midland Old Shares 28 to 6, the New 4
to discount. to 3. Brighton 12 to 111, Black wall 41

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 28

The imports of British Grain, &c., for the past week, have been
very light, being, for the moat part, comprised in 3,850 qrs of Wheat,
4,140 qrs of Oats, and 4,470 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. The
only arrivals from abroad consist of 50 brls of Flour from the
United States and 2,530 brls from Canada. There have been
realised from Bond, during the same period, 1,069 qrs of Wheat,
260 qrs of Barley, and 1,590 qrs of Peas. Since the date of our
last report, when we had occasion to note rather a better demand
and full prices for Wheat, there has not been much animation in
the trade. Yesterday we had a few buyers at market, and, had
sales been pressed, a somewhat lower range of prices would have
ensued. Flour has met a moderately fair demand United States
sweet at 333 to 345, Canadian at 32s to 32s 6d : sour parcels have
been sold at 305 per barrel. The very limited supplies of Oats, and
Oatmeal have enabfed the importers to realize rather higher rates
3s Id per 4801bs has been paid for good Sligo Oats, well-dried, and
26s 9d per 3401b5 for the best Meal. The purchases, however, have
been confined to the wants of necessitous buyers. Tho market is
bare of malting Barley : fine English chevalier would bring 405 to
425 per imperial quarter. Most of the recent arrivals of Foreign
Oats have teen cleared off at 41s to 43s per quarter. No change
in the value of Beans. A few hundred barrels of United States
Flour, in bond, have been sold at 245 per brl.
