LORD JOHN RUSSELL.

The member now on his legs is Lord John Russell. His
person is diminutive, and he is lame in one leg. His ex-
pression is rather pensive and sedate. As an orator he is
nothing particular, though his matter is generally good. In-
deed, without his assistance in debate, the ministry would be
in a most deplorable state,. -even hi the House of Commons.
Lord John Russell is one of the few consistent whigs which
the cabinet contains. Since he entered into public life, he
was always a reformer, even in " the worst of times." Like
Lord Melbourne and Lord Palmerston, most of the others
deserted the conservatives when they found that the tide of
Opular feeling was turning against them.

SIR ROBERT INGLIS.

The member who has just got up from his seat near Sir
Robert Peel, and who is now leaving the house, is Sir Robert
Inglis. He is a stout-made man, with very broad shoulders ;
his head is rather bald, but his long hair hangs down behind.
He stoops as he walks. His dress is rather shabby, and he
has a sort of farmer-like appearance. The expression of his
countenance is very benevolent. He is a man of much im-
portance in the houscoand possesses considerable talent.

SIR DE LACY EVANS.
Who is that very lanky thin man, 'with a sallow complexion,
dark hair, and sharp nose and chin ; his countenance is lean
and hungry looking, and has a sort of wolfish expression ?
He is sitting on the third bench, on the ministerial side.
That is Col. Sir De Lacy Evans. You may well say he looks
hungry. He has never recovered from the starvation he ex-
perienced during his celebrated career in Spain. We very
seldom hear of him now in his senatorial capacity. The last
notable feat which he performed in that line was of a somna-
bulistic al kind, when he was left in the house during a divi-
sion, in consequence of his having fallen asleep.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-05-08

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 5.

The imports of Wheat, Flour, and Barley, have again been pretty
considerable from Foreign ports, but from Ireland and Coastways
the arrivals of Grain have been very small, since Tuesday last: the
reduction of the duty on Foreign Wheat and Flour, accomplished
very barely on Friday last, was confidently anticipated throughout
the whole of the past week. and in consequence, those articles were
offered free for home use at a trivial decline, whilst in bond they
were held at a small advance, but not :sufficiently decided ;to alter
our quotations, and sales to a fair extent were effected :—for fine
mewling Oats an advance of Id to 2d per 451 b and of Is per 2401 b
for fine Oatmeal was obtained ; Malt, Malting and Grinding Bar-
ley, Beans and Peas, found very moderate sales at nearly our last
quotations.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports was reduced on Friday
last to 13s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 85 *1 per barrel ; on
Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, and Peas is 6d per quarter ; it is
likely duty will he immediately paid on the two first-named articles,
as it is very probable the duties may be again increased next Friday ;
some considerable parcels of both articles in bond have changed
hands, at about the last quotations; duty has been paid on almost
all the Foreign Barley; Oats in bond are almost nominal at 3s 6d
to 3s 10d per 451 h.
The weather has continued very fine, without one drop of rain
since she 11th ult. and with very little since the 10th February!—
nevertheless the previous moisture of the earth, and the nightly
dews cause the country to assume a healthy green and favourable
appearance ; winter-sown Wheat looks very well, but most spring-
sown Grain and Grass reported to be very short, and except in rich
low-lying lands, very thin : but no injury is as yet done which may
not be speedily remedied by warm showers, now certainly very
much wanted throughout this district, and we believe everywhere.
At this day's market sales to a fair extent were made of Wheat
and Flour in bond and free, at fully our last quotations ; Oats sold
at '2d to 3d per 451 b and Oatmeal Is to Is tid per 240th advance, and
for every other article there was a moderate demand at fully our
last quotations.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.

PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST; Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
el • particularly to call the attention °Otis Friends and the
Public to his improved Preparationthe very justly cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWIAIRSi, to form the SEID-
LITZ WATERS, which appromeffnearer•than anything yet
discovered to the Chalybeate Wafers of Germany. The
style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is pe-
culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac-
curacy ;_ and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Wafers.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEST-
LEY, No. 52, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidlitz
Powders in Packets.

IMPROVED SODA POWDERS.
It has been observed that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ;
and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con-
fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate
these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and
efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered
to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at ls. 6d. each.
FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c., from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the

harsh and dry hair as soft as Silk, Curly, and Glossy; pre-
serves it in Curl and other decorative formation—unimpaired
by the Summer's heat, violent exercise, or relaxing tendencies

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We must decline giving insertion to the second letter of the
Rev. W. Bevan. The manuscript is left at our office.
The Liverpool Times of Tuesday last, asserts that " the late
editor of the Liverpool Standard was dismissed by the
proprietors in consequence of not being allowed to speak
the truth with respect to the Corporation schools." The
editor of the Times must know, or ought to know, that
this charge is utterly false. In the first place, no editor
has been " dismissed" since this paper has been under
the control of the present proprietors. It is true that a
gentleman acting in that capacity left this establishment,
not, however, in consequence of " not being allowed to
speak the truth with respect to the corporation schools,"
but because a paragraph relating to those schools, appended
to a leading article, and stultifying all the writer's previous
arguments, was omitted. He left, in short, because he was
not allowed to make a fool of himself.

PATENT PERRYIAN FILTER INKSTAND.

HIS novel and useful Invention insures an instantaneous
T supply of CLEAR FILTERED INK in the cup of the
Filter, whtch can be returned into the Inkstand at any mo-
ment, where it is secured from injury, and not affected by
`the atmosphere. The Ink, thus protected, never thickens
or moulds, and remains good for any length of time in any
climate. Thd process of filtration causes the colouring mat-
ter to be held in suspension ; hence the trouble and inconve-
nience occasioned by unsuitable Ink, generally found in
ordinary Inkstands, are completely obviated by the use of
the FILTER INKSTAND. One of moderate size will
contain sufficient Ink for six or twelve months' writing.

THE PATENT PERRYIAN RAVEN BLACK PEN is not

TUN BALL ROOM,

This room, which adjoins tho last at a right angle, oacuples I
the whole length of the north front of the building. It is 89
feet long, 41 broad, and 40 feet in height. Round the walls,
and, as it were, supporting the cornice and roof, there are
twenty Corinthian pilasters, of imitation Carniola, beauti-
fully polished, richly variegated, and topped by capitals of
the most flowery and elaborate order. The roof is coved in
a gentle segment, and is laid out in ornamented square com-
partments, with bold and chastely gilded mouldings and de-
Corations. The cornicing is also richly gilded. There are
three immense chandeliers, formed of an immense quantity
of crystal, and having a superb effect. The orchestra is on
the centre of the south side, and is recessed, with a light pro-
jecting balcony. The chimney-pieces are, with the exception
of the tops, of pure statuary marble, and are beautifully cut.
The furniture comprises a number of elegant sofas, mounted
on platforms, a few inches from the ground, so as to afford
the ladies who recline in them a better opportunity to view
the dance. The area of the ball-room is so extensive, and
its height so great, that the visitor feels a sense of his own
comparatively diminutive figure, from the insignificant space
he occupies in so large an apartment. What, then, must be
his admiration when this room, and all others which com-
municate continuously with each other all round the build-
ing by folding doors, are filled with a moving throng of indi-
viduals, arrayed in the most splendid costumes of every clime,
and representing every character celebrated in history or in
song. Immediately adjoining there is a refection room, and
the visitor thence, passing a staircase, reaches

tention to orders and moderate charges, will, he trusts, secure

THEATRE ROYAL.

The indisposition of one of the vocalists has, we fear, inter-
fered with the success of Miss Romer's and Mr. Stansbury's
engagement. It would be a sin of omission were we not to
notice the efficient manner in which Mr. Barker acquitted
himself, when suddenly called upon to read the part of the
principal singer in the Love Spell. Mr. Barker " read" the
words well, and sang the music at sight with sustained fault-
lessness. This tri4l through which he passed with more than
credit to himself, proves Mr. Barker—and better perhaps
than could any other test—to be a thoroughly educated and
practical musician. It is with regret that we see a contem-
porary, in an invidious spirit, seeking to fasten on Mr. Bar-
ker as a fatal objection to his success as a singer, his " want
of power." True, power is power—but only when properly
used. Power is only a relative thing, and compared with
other singers of his day, Mr. Barker, though he has not a
deep gong-like voice like Phillips and Seguin, or the great
Lablache with his Falstaff organ, yet there is not a theatre
in the kingdom in which he has not ample power so as to be
heard distinctly—and when heard, heard with the gratifica-
tion which is secured by accuracy and precision, when asso-
ciated with grace and feeling in execution.
The part of Elvino in the Sonnambula was also sustained.
by Mr. Barker: the music well suits his voice and his gene-
ral powers. We heard him as Donald on Wednesday in
Barnett's fine (native) Opera of the Mountain Sylph. He
looked, played, and sung the part to the satisfaction of the
audience, as will doubtless be again the case this evening,
when the Sylph is to be repeated, for the benefit of the most
pleasing and sylph-like spiritualizers of the part—our fair
townswoman Miss Romer. As the charitable revellers of
last night have had time to sleep off the effects of the Fancy
Ball, we hope they will go in tune as well us in time to enjoy
the warblings of a lady who has many unobtrusive claims on
the appreciation of the public.
