WAYS AND. MEANS.

On the order for going into Committee of Ways and
Means,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to
Mr. T. Baring, stated the arrangements which had been
come to for taking the financial discussion on the resolu-.
tions submitted to the house. He denied that any change
had been made by the government in the order in which
the resolutions were to be taken.

A short discussion followed, in which Mr. DIf3RAELI
Lord J. RUSSELL, and Mr. GLADSTONE took part,—Mr.
DISRAELI complaining that no opportunity had been
given for discussing the resolutions on Exchequer Bonds.
Mr. GLADSTONE explained that the resolutions were
preliminary only to future arrangements, and by no means
gave government the power to raise money at their discre-
tion for the next six years.
Mr. T. RARING said he should move his amendment on
the inexpediency of issuing any more Exchequer Bonds at
present, the repayments of which could be demanded within
the next six years. He proceeded to criticise the financial
policy of government, which he described as wanting in
prudence and caution, and this point he endeavoured to
establish by comparing the present position of the national
finances with what it was 15 years ago, when there was a
large balance in the exchequer, and every sign of pros-
perity. Mr. Gladstone had, he said, disregarded the
symptoms of danger which subsequently presented them-
selves, in the drain of gold and the rate of interest on
Exchequer Bills. One great error was the successive re-
ductions of interest on such bills, in proof of which
,he
referred to the purchase of Exchequer Bills by govern-
ment, by means of the funds of the savings banks, in
order to bolster up the Exchequer Bill market. This
course he considered wholly unjustifiable, and only to be
adopted in a great emergency and difficulty, which diffi-
culty had been created by the Chancellor:of the Exchequer
himself by his uncalled-for reduction of the interest of
Exchequer Bills. He adverted in detail to various
features of Mr. Gladstone's plan, as developed in his late
speech, stating his opinion that his conversion of stock
last year was not warranted by the circumstances. He
denied the assertion of Mr. Gladstone that there was no
loss on his monetary operations, which had been such as
ought not to have been hazarded, except in times of the
most perfect tranquillity. Mr. Baring further contended
that the balances of the Exchequer had been wasted ; that
we were forced to borrow on Deficiency Bills, which bills
were rendered necessary by the improvident employment
of the balances ; that the stock of the Savings Banks b ad been
sold to pay off Exchequer Bills; and an addition thereby
in§cle to the _debt—all

INDIVIDUAL SKILL AND COOLNESS.

On the 25th several of our officers had chain reins made
for their regimental bridles, because in the last action the
enemy had cut some of the bridles of the 3d Light Dragoons
with their swords, by which their riders became powerless,
having lost all command over their horses. This brings
to my recollection an anecdote told me of the late Lieut.-
General Sir Thomas Dallas, of the Madras Cavalry, well
known in the wars with H 3 der Ali Khan and Tippoo
Sultan, as the best horseman and most experienced swords-
man in the Madras army, having often proved himself the
victor in single combat, and killed his man. One of the
enemy was noted for possessing a scimitar of the first
quality ; Sir Thomas, then a captain, and this man made
an agreement to this effect, that they were to fight toge-
ther, and that the native was not to cut the captain's
reins, nor he to use his pistols. After a long encounter,
the man violated the engagement and cut the captain's
reins, which were not of steel, upon which the latter drew
his pistol and shot his opponent dead on the spot. In a
country like India every officer should go on service fur-
nished with a chain rein, for without it many a man has
lost his life ; besides, it is neither heavy nor inconvenient.
The dragoons and troopers should also be supplied with
them. The natives use them as well as coats of chain
armour, and many of the Sikhs, as I myself witnessed,
wore even breast-plates and back pieces of steel. I picked
up a steel helmet in the Sikh camp at the battle of Sobraon,
which now serves to decorate my father's dining-room.

As many of the half savage horsemen who are
to be found in the Russian army pursue a mode of
attack in numerous respects similar to that above
alluded to, the suggestion of Capt. Humbley seems
peculiarly suited to the present equipments of our
cavalry.

The corps to which Captain Humbley was
attached did not arrive in time to take part in the
serious operations and questionable glories of Mood-
kee, or to witness the whole affair at Ferozesbah ;
and when, after severe exertion, they were enabled
to join the main army, camp regulations and mili-
tary arrangement appear to have been sadly out of
tune. This has often been asserted and not unfre-
quently denied ; the testimony of the " Cavalry
Officer," however, if good for anything, bears out
the assertion to a very great extent, if not, indeed,
to the fullest degree. As evidence take the follow-
ing account of

TO TILE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STAND tED.

SIB,—Being greatly interested in the improvement of
the poptilace in and around St. Matthew's Church district,
Scotland-road, I was very much concerned to learn that,
on the afternoon of the 14th instant, a riot took place,
from an ignorant and superstitious zeal among the respec-
tive processionists of two funerals, mutually contending
for having precedence in the act of interment, as, it was
stated, they believed the soul of the body last consigned
to the grave would be detained as a kind of watcher in
St. Anthony's crowded burying ground until the next
corpse should be brought for interment ! Those attending
the one corpse were reported to belong to Connaught, and
those attending the other to Leinster. From this sturdy
contest, upon such a solemn occasion, it is quite clear that,
according to the dogmas inculcated upon these poor people
by a spurious education or deluding priestcraft, they are
earnestly minded in contending for the greatest imaginary
advantages over one another, though at the expense of
breaking the jawbones of policemen and others ! St.
Anthony's Romish Chapel is not only crowded, but sur-
rounded, on the Lord's Day by people, and there is a large
school edifice in Newsliam-street connected therewith, to
which hundreds of children go. There is, however, no
school edifice connected with St. Matthew's Church (the
church of the district), for the religious or intellectual
training of. the infant and juvenile population. 'What is
called St. Matthew's National School is, as you know, the
cellar underneath the chureh. It would, indeed, be a very
great blessing among these deluded Papists and careless
Protestants, to have substantial school premises in the rear
of St. Matthew's Church. Trusting that something may
be done to effect the desired object, I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

TIMBER.

LIVERPOOL.—There have been no arrivals of timber
or deals from the North American colonies during the
week. The deliveries from the yards are as usual, with
but little change in prices. Of timber, 'one cargo of St.
John pine, of small average, brought 2s lld per foot from
'the yard. Of Quebec pine there are no cargoes on im-
porters' account held, and the stock remaining, which is
moderate, is entirely in the hands of the retail merchants.
The late import of deals is in course of yarding for im-
(wrters' account, with the exception of a small parcel
reaked) sold from the quay. From the North of
Europe five small vessels have come in with timber battens
and sleepers, which are likely to realise fair prices. Of
pitch pine, parcels, as they arrive, continue to realise
ifrom 2s tid to 2s 61d, according to quality and specifica-
tion. There is a brisk demand tOr this article.

LORD RAGLAN'S ADDRESS TO THE ARMY.

Lord Raglan has issued the following order, addressed
from head quarters at Scutari, to the British troops :
The Queen having been graciously pleased to appoint
General Lord Raglan to be Commander of the Forces to
be employed in Turkey in support of her ally, His Impe-
rial Majesty the Sultan, and his Lordship having arrived,
all reports, &c., will be made to him through the channels
prescribed by her Majesty's regulations.
The Commander of the Forces avails himself of the ear-
liest opportunity to impress upon the army the necessity
of maintaining the strictest discipline, of respecting per-
sons and property, and the laws and usages of the country
they have been sent to aid and defend, and particularly
of avoiding to enter mosques, churches, and the private
dwellings of a people whose habits are peculiar, and unlike
those of the other nations of Europe.
Lord Raglan fully relies upon the general and other
officers of the army to afford him their support in
the repression of disorder ; and he confidently hopes that
the troops themselves, anxious to obtain the character they
have acquired elsewhere, will endeavour to become the ex-
ample of obedience to order and of attention to discipline,
without which success is impossible, and their presence
would be an evil instead of an advantage to those whose
cause their Sovereign had deemed it proper to espouse.
The army will be for the first time with an ally to whom
it has been the lot of the British nation to be opposed in
the field for many centuries. The gallantry and high
military quality of the French army are matters of his-
tory, and the alliance which has now been formed will;
the Commander of the Forces trusts, be of long duration,
as well as productive of the most important consequences.
Lord Raglan is aware, from personal communication
with the distinguished officer who is appointed to com-
mand the French army, Marshal St. Arnaud, and many
of the superior officers, that every disposition exists
throughout their ranks to cultivate the best understanding
with the British army, and to co-operate most warmly,
with it; and he entertains no doubt that her Majesty's.
troops are actuated by the same spirit, and that the first
ambition of each army will be to acquire the confidence
and good opinion of the other.

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, tier 19.—The demand for beef is active,
and for fine qualities an advance of about 5s per tierce has
been realised, and the stock in importers' hands is very
low. At full prices there is a fair demand for pork, but
holders asking higher rates checks business. There is a
large demand for bacon, which is met freely by holders,
at about former prices ; the sales for the week, including
some parcels of- damaged, reach to about 3,000 boxes.
Shoulders and hams are saleable, especially the finer
descriptions. Lard is again lower about 6d per cwt.,
without leading to an increased demand. No cheese here.
Grease butter is wanted.
MAY 22.—There has been a good demand for butter
since our last report, and, although the week's supply was
good, all was disposed of up to Saturddy at previous
rates. The most esteemed brands of Waterford may
now be quoted at 104 s to 106 s ; Carrick and Clonmel,
103 s to 104 s ; Limerick, 95s to 100 s ; Cork, 3rds, 98s to 100 s,
and 4ths, 90s, per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland,
from the 13th to the 19th inst., both inclusive, 8297
firkins, 8 kegs, 179 crocks, 252 boxes, 301 barrels butter,
181 bales bacon, 13 hhds. 13 tierces hams, and 8 tierces
130 kegs lard.

Corrox.—The recent large arrivals having been
thrown upon•the market, and middling and lower
qualities being in large supply, there has been a.
decline in prices of those descriptions of about,
1-16 d. to id per lb. Finer qualities are, however,.
scarce, and' previous rates have been well main-
tained. The sales during the week, up to Friday,
amounted to 45,130 bales,—of which 2,900 were
taken on speculation, and 4,290 for export, leaving
37,940 for. the trade. TO-DAY. the sales amounted
to about 0,000 bales, of which.l,ooo were on spe-

TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SlR,—Being greatly interested in the improvement of
the populace in and around St. Matthew's Church district,.
Scotland-road, I was very much concerned to learn that,
on the afternoon of the 14th instant, a riot took place,
from an ignorant and superstitious zeal among the respec-
tive processionists of two funerals, mutually contending
for having precedence in the act of interment, as, it was
stated, they believed the soul of the body last consigned
to the grave would be detained as a kind of watcher in
St. Anthony's crowded burying ground until the next
corpse should be brought for interment ! Those attending
the one corpse were reported to belong to Connaught, and
those attending the other to Leinster. From this sturdy
contest, upon such a solemn occasion, it is quite clear that,
according to the dogmas inculcated upon these poor people
by a spurious education or deluding priestcraft, they are
earnestly minded in contending for the greatest imaginary
advantages over one another, though at the expense of
breaking the jawbones of policemen and others ! St.
Anthony's Romish Chapel is not only crowded, but sur-
rounded, on the Lord's Day by people, and there is a large
school edifice in Newsham-street connected therewith, to
which hundreds of children go. There is, however, no
school edifice connected with St. Matthew's Church (the
church of the district), for the religious or intellectual
training of the infant and juvenile population. What is
called St. Matthew's National School is, as you know, the
cellar underneath the church. It would, indeed, be a very
great blessing among these deluded Papists and careless
Protestants, to have substantial school premises in the rear
of St. Matthew's Church. Trusting that something may
be done to effect the desired object, I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

now be executed on the shortest possible notice.
Devoting himself to this branch of the trade, the most par-
ticular care will be exercised in putting up Ale and Porter.
And as it is well known that BARCLAY, PERKINS, and

taining spurious Porter, John Tyrer has determined, in order
to prevent such FRAUDS for the future, and for the purpose
of affording to Shippers the best guarantee that they are sup-
plied with the GENUINE article, to adopt Bett's Patent Cap-
sule Covering on the CORK, and discontinue the use of tin
foil altogether.

BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES
are now being generally adopted by the Ale and
Porter Export Trade, being the only safeguard against fraud.
See the Sydney Mercantile Journal and Shipping Register,
Dec. 1. 1853 :
"Bottlers should not relax in their best methods of getting
up Beer, or their names will lose the credit which is now
attached to them. A good deal of Malt Liquor of an inferior
quality is bottled in this Colony with English Labels; this is
passed off at auctions as genuine, and the English bottlers are
damnified in credit and of course in profit ; but if they kept
up their quality and Capsuled and wired their bottles, spurious
articles could not be so easily foisted on the public."
As a convincing proof of the appreciation of the merits and
utility of our Capsules, we subjoin the following letter, re-
ceived from Messrs. Barclay, Perkins, and Co.'s Sole Agent,

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna despatch of the 13th inst. says :—" A courier
bearing a very important message is expected from St.
Petersburg. It is said that he will bring a formal demand
from Russia that Austria shall declare explicitly the policy
which she intends to pursue. The answer of the cabinet
at Vienna, according to the Gazette Universalle, may be
easily foreseen ; Austria will not depart from the resolu-
tions embodied in the last protocol of Vienna."
The Moniteur, of Thursday, confirms the levy of 95,000
men by Austria, whose manifesto indicates their destina-
tion in a very straightforward manner. The manifesto
and the measure have produced a profound and favourable
sensation at Vienna. The official Gazette, of May 16,
contains an article on the subject of the levy of 95,000
men. The Emperor desires to protect Austrian interests
against the possible contingencies of a war arising out of
existing differences; but Austria, nevertheless,will continue
to use its best exertions for the re-establishment of peace.

PRUSSIA.

The rupture between the King and his brother, the Prince
of Prussia, continues to engross attention at Berlin. There
is great talk in the diplomatic circles of a letter said to
have been written by the Prince to the King, and passages
are even quoted. If what is stated on this subject be true,
the Prince has declared himself very positively against
Russia. This, to say the least, would be good policy. The
Prince of Prussia, who is now 67 years old, has a large
family, and must feel anxious for it. He is evidently trying
to ward off from his own family the danger which threatens
the King► by his obstinate adhesion to the Czar.
RUSSIA.

From St. Petersburg, under date May 7, we learn that
the Emperor is not over well. The Grand Prince and
heir-apparent lives in a very retired manner, while the
Grand Prince Constantine is uncommonly busy ; for some-
times he inspects the crews of ships, sometimes he travels
to different places on the coast, then he examines the
magazines, hospitals, and the like. The military reviews
are less frequent. The garrison was weakened by the
departure of the guards, but it is strengthened again by
reserves. The Court has experienced a great loss in the
person of General Rochov.

A Berlin despatch of Thursday states that at St. Peters-
burg, on the 12th, a manifesto had been published ordering
new levies for the fleet and army.
TURKEY.

Late intelligence from Gallipoli is to the effect that
General Bosquet has returned from his mission, and
reported well of the good condition of Nam and Schumla.
The Turkish army is composed of good soldiers, now well
hardened to their work, and full of confidence in Omer
Pacha. The cavalry no longer fear the Russians, and the
Turks have full command of the plain of Schumla all the
way to the Danube. •
A Vienna despatch of Thursday states that a general
rising was expected in Montenegro in favour of Russia,
but that Austria was fully prepared to meet it. Six hun-
dred of the Montenegrins had made a foray into the Her-
segovina, and killed several of the Turkish inhabitants.
