GENERAL NEWS.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH is to be laid down today
between the Italian Opera, the Houses of Parliament, and
all the telegraph-stations.
Mas. STOWE is receiving the homage of Duchesses and
Cabinet Ministers with a simplicity which disarms the
witticiems that may have been provoked by her tour in
the north. She exhibits herself for the sake of the cause
she advocates, but without reluctance or the affectation of
it—liking it apparently. and not ashamed of liking it.
There is a touch of American character in this. Across
the water it is the right and duty of a distinguished per-
son to be stared at, complimented in public, and followed
by admiring crowds—a duty which he owes to society, an
acknowledgment which society owes to him, Hence an
ovation from which an Englishwoman of taste and refine-
ment would shrink, an American authoress takes quite
quietly, without tieing deficient in refinement or taste.—
Guardian.

CITY CENTRAL TERMlNllS.—Yesterday week a very
numerous and influential deputation, accompanied by
the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Members for the City
of London, and several of the representatives for the
Metropolitan Boroughs, waited upon Lord Palmerston,
at the Home Office, to solicit the co-operation of Govern-
ment in carrying out the above scheme. The objects of
the deputation having been explained, Lord Palmerston
said he was led by personal feeling as well as official duty
to promote a measure possessing the advantages which
had been so forcibly suggested. He was aware of the in-
convenience which was sought to be remedied, but he
must reserve to himself a discretion to consider any ob-
jections that might be brought against the scheme. As
far as he was informed, the plan deserved all the support
Government and Parliament could give it.
TERMINABLE ANN UITIES.—A parliamentary paper re-
specting the terminable annuities has been issued. It
appears that on annuities for lives the capital transferred
and cancelled, including stock purchased with money,
from the Ist September, 1808, to the sth of January,
1833, was £28,328,656 7s. ld. ; long annuities trans-
ferred and cancelled, £24,620 ; the annuities granted,
£2,603,819 12s. 6d. ; and the annuities ceased,
£1,545,308 10s. On annuities of terms of years, the
capital stock, Sze., from the same period, was £10,661,791;
the long annuities, transferred and cancelled £141,269 145.;
the annuities, £1,701,427 10s.; and the annuities ceased,
£802,608 15s. In addition, the exchequer bills purchased
and cancelled in the year ending the sth January, 1831,
on account of annuities for lives, amounted to
£144,415 Os. 4d. ; and on account of the annuities for
/he term csf years, £934,500.

EBY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

The notice for paying off the June Exchequer Bills, or
renewing them at ld. per day, did not transpire during
the course of business on Monday, and they remained
without fluctuation, at 2s. to 6s. premium.—The conver-
sion of Consols and reduced amounts of new stocks ac-
cepted yesterday :—£3 10s. per Cents., £17,633 19s. 6d. ;
£2 10s. per Cents., £26,200 17s. fid. ; Exchequer Bonds,
£7OO. Totals applied for up to yesterday, £54,708 Three
and a Half per Cents. ; £1,219,657 Two and a Half per
Cents. Land £4,200 Exchequer Bonds.
AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE, MARCH 3. Gold
advanced to 775., and exchange on London to par, so
that shipments of coin from England may be now expected
wholly to terminate. A lump of gold is said to have been
discovered about two miles from Ballarat, weighing 134110 c.
Boz. The general state of the colony seems favourable.
At Sydney business was exceedingly active and money
plentiful. The emigration to Melbourne had been c,on-
tinuously heavy, and some cases of death from exhaustion.
and destitution are said to have occurred. Total arrivals
in December, 11,699 ; January, 8,101. An expectation
that some part of the overflow would find its way to
Western Australia is mentioned, and in Can Diemen's
Land, even at the beginning of February, landed pro-
perty at Launceston sold at an advance of 400 per cent.
upon current prices of a few weeks previously. The
Melbourne steamer arrived at Melbourne on the 4th of.
February. The finder of the nugget of 1341b5. left in the
Sarah Sands on the 10th of February.
BRAZIL AND RIO] LA PLATAI MAILS.—The
Royal Mail steam-ship Severn arrived at Southampton,
this Tuesday morning, with the above mails.
PARIS, MONDAY.—At the Bourse all the funds expe-
rienced a decline. Threes closed 81i, Four and a Half -
per Cents. 104 10.

ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 6.—Nay.igation was ex-

pected to open in a day or two. English purchases of
tallow and other produce prevented Exchange from be-
coming more favourable for England, Quotation was
38d. to 380. At Riga, on the 10th, weather fine and
warm.

PROVISION MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 13.—For Beef there is a fair retail
demand, without much variation in prices. The stock is large,
and holders of middling and low qualities meet buyers freely.
In Pork we cannot note any alteration; there is a moderate
demand from the dealers, with an occasional export order, and
stock does not accumulate. Bacon continues in pretty active
request, at steady prices ; and a considerable portion of the late
arrivals has been already cleared off. The sales of Lard for the
week reach to about 60 tons, without change in prices. There
is less doing in Cheese. Several parcels have been put into
bond to await the proposed reduction of duty.

- -
MAY I6.—The demand for Butter, of all kinds, was so general
and good last week, that prices of the most esteemed brands
have advanced from 2s to 4s since our last report, and the
supply still being moderate, the dealers had some difficulty in
securing a sufficient quantity to meet their actual wants.
Waterford may be quoted at 106 s to 108 s ; Carrick and Clonaiel,
102 s to 105 s; Limerick, 94s to 98s ; Cork thirds 100 s, fourths
945, and fifths 838 per cwt., landed. The weather is now
warmer, and most likely we have seen the highest point for
the present. Imported from Ireland from the 9th May to the
14th May, both inclusive :-6,395 firkins, 62 kegs, 368 crocks,
355 boxes, 298 barrels Butter ; 79 bales Bacon ; 1 hogshead ;
tierce Hams ; and 30 kegs Lard.

THE STRANGER ROSE.

A young Moss-rose in a hedgerow grew—
'Twas planted there by a merry child—
And fairies fed it with limpid dew,
Till Flora's self on its beauty smiled.
The merchant Berry, and soldier Thorn
(The hedge was a little world, you know,)
Uncurled their leaves with a look of scorn,
Like lips that our world can sometimes shew,
The Dog-rose said : lam thrice as gay ;,
Despised by all was the stranger thing;
And they twined their straggling boughs away,
As if to touch it some harm wouhl bring !
But the Dog-rose soon with envy drooped,
The butterfly left her quite alone;
And lioney-bees all in rapture stooped
To gather wealth at the mossy cone.
The Berry and Thorn looked now askance,
Despising such creatures' tastes, said they :
But next observed that each maiden's glance
To the mossy flower would fondly stray.
So a conclave met in briery sheen,
To find who the Stranger-guest might be
But She was dead ere they owned her Queen,
(Sr Envy's soul could her merit see.

Imperial Legislature returned by priestly influence
and intimidation. With parties otherwise so nicely
balanced, that the Conservatives had the bare ma-
jority, this faction of Romish representatives have
just sufficient strength to turn the scale on either
side; and being open to the highest bidder, as they
were when the notorious Lichfield-house compact
was entered into, they readily seized upon the bait
which was laid for them, and selling their prin-
ciples, found, when too late, that they had sold
themselves. To take the mildest view of the affair,
it was disgraceful to those concerned in it, and
justified the anxiety which was felt to bring the dis-
cussion to a close, as one which would reflect no
credit on a British House of Commons, though,
unhappily, it is a complaint for which it would be
hopeless to expect a remedy.

MR. GLADSTONE'S FINANCIAL POLICY.
AITER a lengthened debate, during which several
amendments to the proposed Income Tax were dis-
cussed and finally defeated, the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER has carried the resolutions for
this portion of his Budged and on Thursday he
proceeded to enter upon the next important item of
imposing a duty on Successions to Real Property.
As this proposal will also meet with much opposi-
tion, and as the Whitstmtide recess has interposed
anotherdelay, we may anticipate that the Session will
be far advanced before the whole scheme will have
received the fiat of Parliamentary approval, more
particularly as several of the items have to undergo
modification. In entering at large into a defence
of his scheme to-subject real property to legacy duty,
Mr. GLADSTONE dwelt with much apparent sin-
cerity upon the alleged inequality of the present
system ; but it must be remembered that though
now exempt from legacy c'uty, real property is
subject to tharges from which personal property
is free, and even when compared with leasehold
houses and lands, the latter has always been pur-
chased at a lower price than freehold, on account
of the •exemption, so that those who have pur-
chased freehold property on the security of the
existing law, have paid more for the fee simple on
account of the freedom from legacy duty, and, if
'the proposition should be carried, will have the
tax imposed on them. Mr. GLADSTONE has esti-
mated the ultimate yield of this tax at two millions
a year ; but it has been asserted by good authorities
that it will produce considerably more, and, if so,
ir will be imposing new and heavy burdens upon
land, although the promises of Sir ROBERT PEEL
'to make compensation for the Repeal of the Corn
:Laws are still unredeemed.

PROSPECTS OF BIRKENHEAD.
THE prospect which was held out a short time since
of an amicable arrangement for a transfer of .the
Birkenhead Docks to the Liverpool Dock Trustees,
seems, for the present at least, to be set aside,
owing to the extravagant demands of the Birken-
head proprietors, upon which we commented last
week, and which were brought before the Dock
Committee on Thursday, when they "declined to

ST. JOHN'S SCHOOLS, BIRKEVHEA T . D.— wo sermons
were preached in St. John's Church, Grange-lane, on
Sunday, last week, in behalf of the schools connected with
the church ; that in the morning by the Rev. C. J.
Hamilton, the incumbent, and that in the evening by the
Rev. Dr. Baylee, Principal of St. Aidan's College. The
collection on the formeroccasionamounted to £l7 Ils. 91d.,
and on the latter to £6 4s. 4d., being a total of £23165.
An earnest appeal was made on behalf of the schools,
which have no other means of support than voluntary
contributions, in addition to the pence of the children,
which amounted last year to £63 2s. 4id. The schools
for boys, girls, and infants, are maintained at a cost for
teachers alone of more than £l4O per annum, and yet
the subscriptions last year only reached £32 17s. 6d. from
40 individuals. There is a debt of £45 due to the trea-
surer, and increased exertions are needed to keep the
schools in their present state of efficiency.
BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS.—The annual election
for members of this body will take place on the first
Tuesday in June. The whole number is twenty-one, of
whom seven are chosen annually ; but this year there are
eight to be elected, viz., the seven who go out by rotation,
and one in the room of John Ravenscroft, Esq., who has
gone abroad. Out of this body four of the Dock Trustees
are elected annually in August. Mr. J. H. Greene, the
present chairman of the board, has issued a circular to
the ratepayers of Birkenhead, of which we subjoin an
extract, and we entertain no doubt but that the good
sense of the electors will respond to the appeal in favour
of what is known as the Blue List, Mr. Greene, after re-
ferring to his last year's appeal, and the consequent change
in the Dock Trust, says :—" That T had not deceived my-
self in the expectations I held out to you of the advantages
of that change, will be manifest from the fact that a contract
has been entered into with Messrs. Brassey and M'Cor-
mick, to the extent of £250,000, for the immediate prose-
cution of the works, which had been suspended for so
many years, comprising the great low water basin and the
reclamation of the north and south reserves ; that there
are now upwards of 500 men at work, being the greatest
number which can be employed until the exclusion of the
water—and Mr. Brassey, a few days since, assured the
trustees that he expected very shortly to accomplish that
object, and would then double the number. It is equally
gratifying to me to be able to state that a negotiation is in
progress with the same contractors for the entire comple-
tion of the outer works on a plan which will admit the
largest class of sea-going steamers. In June, 1852, public
confidence in these works was at the lowest ebb, but such
has been the change since that we apprehend no difficulty
in obtaining adequate funds for all the purposes I have
mentioned."

PARKER'S PATENT FOR BANDING PULLEYS.
MITE Proprietors of Foundries, Cotton Factories,
I Saw Mills, Corn and Rice Mills, Building and Joiners'
Establishments, and all others requiring rotary motion, are
respectfully invited to. examine PARKER'S-PRINCIPLE of
BANDING PULLEYS, which combs a large saying of
motive power, with an increased vel ' of motion never before I
obtained in limited compass, anttrally be applied as well to the
the first motion from the eny,in'e as to the collateral demands
upon the power, which is jatigely saved by avoiding the Com-
plicated Bands, Pulleys,ied Cog Wheels.
The principle is applied with matchless success to Fans,
Blowers, Lathes, Winnowing and Thrashing Corn, Chopping
Hay, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws, of any required dimen-
sions ; but the most remarkable application of this invention
is to the Portable Circular Saw, which is made to perform a
variety of duties that render it the most desirable tool, and
which no mechanic will be able to dispense with.
For the right to use this patented invention, and for the pur-
chase of the royalties of any Town, County, District, or for any
individual establishment. and for directions in its application,
Apply to WILLI A M ROWETT, Commercial-buildings,
Water-street, who is the sole Agent for Liverpool.

Portable Saw can do the work :of a steam-engine of one-hone
power for a limited period.

officer in her Majesty's service knowingly to permit or
encourage any seaman to leave the vessel in which he is
engaged ; and every seaman leaving his ship and entering
into her Majesty's service shall be liable to all the penal-
ties of desertion, any law or custom notwithstanding."
It is almost needless to remark that such a law would
be a manifest injustice to the seamen, and it may be a
serious detriment to the Royal Navy. Desertion should
by no means be encouraged, but British seamen should
know that they could find protection under the British
flag.

THE ROMISH CONTROVERSY.

A meeting on this subject was announced to be held on
Tuesday last, in the Tabernacle, Bispham-street ; but
the owner of the building would not allow it to be used
for the purpose, and, in consequence, the proceedings
took place in Circus-street, Mr. HUGHES in the chair.
Mr. O'DONNELL was the first speaker, and commenced
by directing the attention of the meeting to the letters to
and from Dr. M'NetnE in the Liverpool Standard of
that day. Mr. JOHN MACDOSALD afterwards addressed
the meeting. We have notes of all the proceedings by our
own reporter, but the speakers indulged in such extraor-
dinary statements, couched in such extreme language,
that a regard fcr our readers prevents us from doing more
than referring to the fact. It has, however, removed any
doubt of Dr. M`NExnz having arrived at a correct con-
clusion in deciding not to consent to oral discussion.
Some allowance might he made for party zeal, but when
the warmth of debate melts all the barriers which are
ordinarily imposed by civilisation to preserve the decencies
of society, the partisans are better confined to the colder
proprieties of written language. Some further corres-
pondence on this subject will be found in another column.

NATIVE MANUFACTURE NOT EXHIBITED.

The Dublin Evening Mail asks why it is that among'
the samples of native manufacture exhibited, Doctor
Mac Hale has not a table for showing the stuff that pledges
are made of. A promise-loom after the genuine model,
displaying the various threads in their complications and
entanglements, which produce the perfect pattern of an.
Irish senator, would be a most indigenous production.
The weft of cupidity traversing the warp of sophistry, and"
both so skilfully glazed by the plastic hand of a reverend
artisan as to present a similitude called honour, would
afford altogether a finished illustration of Spenser's famous
definition of an Irish mantle. Such a cloak, with such 0
showman as Doctor Mac Hale to bring out its beauties in
prominent perfection, would send all the paletots and
zephyrs in creation into the shade. Dr. Newman, too,
might help the collection—only that he, unfortunately, is
not Irish—by exhibiting Truth in crotchet work ; and,
we are sure, that Mr. Sadleir, or either of the ScullYs,
would have no objection to add their private collection of
Irish brass to the repository. Mr. John O'Connell 1109
already sent a bar of the iron that many and many a time
entered into his respected parent's soul, and which, strange
to say, is nothing the worse of the wear, proving how
remarkably well tempered that iron must have been. Mr'
Keogh has still a little bit of the oath he took at Cor'
much at the service of the committee; and as it has been
recently polished up, under the immediate supervision Of
the dove-eyed Bishop of Athlone, it looks quite as good
as new. Mr. Norton, the Hon. Solicitor's late opponent,
will show the hand he shook with that gentleman after
the contest; aye, and defy the whole world to say that it
is not every whit as clean as the other hand. The Hen'
Member for Kerry's head and Mr. Duffy's pluck are both
Irish, and curiosities, too, in their several departments
while Dr. Cahill's fustian is most undoubted and unique'
Other productions, various and valueble, must stand over
for another day ; but we cannot omit to mention, wan
admiration, Mr. Cecil Lawless's Tipperary Shammy.
It is almost quid to the reel thing.
