FURNITURE,
AT lIIS DEPOT, IN CHURCII-STREET,

which is allowed to be the most extensive in Liverpool, and
excelled by few in the Metropolis; the Mart thug affording
to the purchasers the best opportunity of securing
HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND EFFECTS
ON THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS,

as every article which domestic comfort can require or wealth
command is exhibited to the visitor in infinite variety.
_

...... -....._ .....
The Rooms are unusually lofty, giving facilities for the
display of every description of Goods. In measurement the
first Sale-room exceeds 90 feet by 20 feet, and the Anti-room
70 feet by 17 feet, together with a spacious Warehouse con-
tiguous, which, having the advantage of being on the ground-
floor, are better calculated for Sales of Household Furniture,
Manufacturers' Stocks, Glass, China, &c. In addition to
which, Mr. HODGSON has recently built a commodious
PICTURE GALLERY at the rear of his Premises, Church-
street, (with dome lights, &c., essential for the proper display
of HIGH CLASS PAINTINGS,) for the reception of
PICTURES and other VALUABLE PROPERTY, thus
preventing the LEAST POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT to the most
RARE AND COSTLY ARTICLES entrusted to his care.
Mr. HODGSON having facilities of procuring the best ma-
nufactured modern Furniture, as well as other Goods, solicits
the attention of
FAMILIES FURNISHING, . . .

to whom every accommodation is afforded, in the choice of
articles from the Mart, on the most advantageous terms.
His long experience in the business he submits as a guarantee
for every attention to their interests, assuring those who may
have occasion to purchase, that the practice too frequently
adopted of procuring New Furniture, manufactured by un-
skilled artificers, is, in very many cases, attended with an
immense pecuniary sacrifice in the first instance, and a serious
loss eventually, from inattention to the material by the
manufacturer

Among the Stock of •
FASHIONABLE HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE
will be generally found a superior description of
SUPERB DRAWING-ROOM SUITES

of real and imitation hosewood ; comprised in Card, Loo,
Work, Flower Tables, Chairs, Couches, Sofas, Tea
Cheffoniers, Canterburies, Screens, Ottomans, &c.
FOLDING CHAIRS AND SOFA BEDS,

O'CONNELL AND THE MINISTRY.
(From the Leeds Intelligeneer.)
While the ministerial papers are vaunting the " tran-
quillity" of Ireland as shown by the withdrawal of
troops, Mr. O'Connell is assiduously carrying on his
operations for the dismemberment of the empire by the
repeal of the Union, and is enlisting all whom he can
induce, not to take a shilling, but tO pay one.
Now one of two conclusions, with reference to this
matter, is inevitable. Ministers are treasonably in
league with the repealer, or the agitator is again play-
ing the hypocrite, and duping his followers for the sake
of the pence which they bring to his bag. In either
case the whole of the parties to the fraud are equally
We believe them to be entirely worthy of
each other.

infamous

Taking O'Connell at his word for once, however, he
himself affords a trumpet-tongued commentary on his
own plans and proceedings.
On Sunday last he held a parochial meeting in Dub-
lin, for the promotion of his purposes ; and one of his
organs gives the following as his language on the ques-
tion of repeal.

(From the Britannia,)

. _
The military fame of the Duke of Wellington is a rock.
The surges of time will lash it in vain. It has withstood all
the detraction of contemporary hatred, and it is so identified
witlithe stirring events of the revolutionary era, that it can
never sink into the comparative oblivion of mere cursory
mention by the historian. It could not be forgotten, indeed,
even had it not that indelible stamp of permanency ; for the
military tactics of the Duke of Wellingto!i are a system—one
that will be followed by men of a certain order of mind as
long as war is a science. That the Duke was not a mere
soldier, even as a soldier, the publication of his despatches
by Colonel Gurwood convinced the world. By that wonder-
ful exposition of the comprehensive, wise, and philanthropic
mind of the man, even his enemies were subdued.
But it is not of the military character of the Duke that I
would speak. Nor am I about to enter into a disquisition on
the principles and tendency of bis policy while at the head of
his countrymen in a civil capacity. Upon that subject there
are differences of opinion—ill-founded, I think, and short-
sighted, when looked at in reference to the course of events.
But it is to his personal character as a politician, and his pe-
culiarities as a speaker, that I address myself.

1. For the due preservation and enjoyment of health,
much judgment and discrimination are necessary in the
choice of the different kinds of food, as .to-their nutriveness
and digestibility. _ _ _

2. It may betaken as a general rule, that the flesh of the
full grown animal is much more digestible and nutritive than
that of its young ; and for this reason, that the flesh of young
animals is of a much more viscid and ►mucilaginous nature
than that of the full-grown animal.
3. Of all meat, tender wedder or wether mutton (which is
the flesh of the castrated animal) is by far the most nutriti-
ous and digestible. Pork and bacon are difficult of diges-
tion.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 29.

Of Wheat there have arrived 5,100 quarters from abroad, since
this day week ; but of other articles of the Grain trade, either of
home or foreign produce, the Imports have been very light. Duty
has been paid upon 4,140 quarters of Wheat, 1,164 quarters of Oats,
2,519 quarters of Beans, 1,827 quarters of Peas, and 5,197 barrels of
Flour. The only change in the rates of duty is a reduction of Rye
to 14s per quarter. We have had some rain during the week, but
with intervals of fine weather, so that harvest is progressing
satisfactorily, and the trade generally, has ruled dull. The millers
and dealers, anticipating an early release of the stocks in bond,
have restricted their purchases of free Wheat and Flour as muck
as possible, and lower prices have been taken for both articles, 2d
to 3d per bushel for the former and Is per barrel for the latter below
the currency of this day sen'night. Oats and Oatmeal have been
little inquired for, and must be quoted fully Is per bushel and Is
per load cheaper. Barley, Beans, and Peas without alteration as to
value. The possibility of further decline in the duty has kept
prices of bonded Wheat and Flour steady, and several parcels of
each article have changed hands : 32s per barrel paid for best brands
of United States Flour.

THE POEMS OF LADY FLORA HASTINGS

The last verses of Lady Flora Hastings were written In
May, 1839, shortly betore her melancholy departure trom
among us. There is a dirgelike tone, even in their versifi-
cation, which is sufficiently striking :

" Break not by heedless w rd the spell
With which that strain bath bound me ;
For the bright thoughts of former years
Are thronging fast around me.

Voices long hush'd are heard again,
Smilei that have pass'd away
Beam on my memory, as once
They bless'd mine early day.
Hopes that have melted into air,
And sorrows that have slept—
And bending from the spirits' land.
The loved—the lost—the wept.

My very heart is young again,
As in the days of yore ;
I feel that I could trust—alas
As I may trust no more."

his words. He says*" He held in his hand the testis
mony of a British sailor, a man in the same rank of

life as the' peasantry theinselve

A. teetotaller, and,

therefore, a man worthy of credit; and his testimony

that when a vessel visited Port-Royal, and re-

mained four or five weeks, the captain thought himself

well off

.f he returned with one-third of her crew. Such

is the climate to which they_were about to be entrapped

- -
by the Enaigratiog, Society." A stay of " four or five

weeks," at an inclement period of the year, on the most
unhealthy part of the coast, is considered sufficient to
justify the assertion that Irish labourers could not
work four hours in the day in the interior of the
island ! Preposterous !
The assertion that the emigration system is " a sla-
very akin to that of the Hill Coolies " contains two
distinct falsehoods. It is false to allege that the Hill
Coolies are reduced to anything like a condition of sla-
very in any part of the West Indies. It is equally
false to assert that the Irish emigrants will be required
to do the same work, or will be placed in the same con-

(litiori,

he Hill Coolies. It is also a falsehood that
' the Hill Coolies cannot work beneath the sun of the
Mauritius or British Guiana." There are official docu-
ments extant, Which abundantly disprove these lying
The Hill Coolies are so satisfied with their
treatment in British Guiana, that they are anxious to
have their friends and relatives out to share their,lot.

statements

It is truly sickening to read the palpable and flagrant
falsehoods which are daily put forth to delude the popu-
laceion the subject of the %Vest Indies, and especially
with reference to the climate of those colonies. These
falsehoods can only originate in consummate and inex-
cuseable ignorance, or in deliberate villany. One thing,
however, is satisfactory—they carry with them their
own refutation.

We rejoice to find that the Soup Committee have
put forth their annual appeal on behalf of the poor,
and that subscriptions. to a considerable amount, hare
been already obtained. Owing to the severe weather
which we have lately experienced, and the non-arrival
of foreign vessels in our port, employment has becoMe
scarce; and the consequent privations under which
the labouring classes are suffering, loudl demand the
benevolent aid of those who are • placed in affluent
circumstance:L.. We trust that the appeal, which ap-
pears in another column, will not be made in vain, but
that a sufficient amount will be speedily realised to
preserve the poor of the town from the aggravated
horrors of hunger and starvation. As there is every
prospect of a. protracted frost it is probable that a
larger outlay than usual will be called for.
