IMPORTANT TO LADIES

KEARSLEY'S ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S
FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated for
their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to the no-
tice of every Lady, having obtained the sanction and appro-
bation of most Gentlemen of the Medical Profession,. as a
safe and valuable Medicine in effectually removing obstruc-
tions, and relieving all other inconveniences to which the
female frame is liable, especially those which, at an early
period of life, frequently arise from want of exercise and
general debility of the system they create an appetite, cor-
rect indigestion, remove giddiness and nervous headache,
and are eminently useful in windy disorders, pains in the
stomach, shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart :
being perfectly innocent, may be used with safety in all sea-
sons and climates. Sold by SANGER, 150, Oxford-street,
and by most respectable Medicine vendors in town and
country, at 2s. 9d. per box. The following is one of the
numerous cases .recently received by the proprietor :

To Mrs. Kearsley.—Madam—l think it my duty to state
the very great benefit I have derived from taking your inva-
luable Pills, they having restored me, I consider, from the
brink of the grave. I lived servant in the house of an emi-
nent physician, where of 'course I had the very best advice
and every attention, but at last, in consequence of extreme
debility and'confirmed dropsical symptoms, I was obliged to
leave my place, and was considered in a deep decline. I
then, through the recommendation of a friend, purchased a
box of your Widow Welch's Pills, which, with the addition
of two other boxes, have at length restored me to perfect
health.—l beg to subscribe myself, Madam, your much
obliged and humble servant,

TO CORRESPONDENTS

CLEARING TILE FOOTPATIIS.—T. G. complains that while
the inhabitants of the town are required by a bye-law to
clear the footwalks opposite their houses, particularly after
a fall of snow, and while too, a large sum is annually levied
for scavenging, the public thoroughfares where there are no
houses, have not, during the frost, been cleared of snow,
and rendered safely passable. He instances the whole
length of the footwalk on the east side of the east wall of
Prince's Dock, and indeed the whole line of walk from the
bottom of Chapel-street to the Clarence Dock have been
left without cleansing by the police or proper authorities ;
that they have been in a very dangerous state ; and that
delay in the transaction of business, and some serious falls,'
threatening limb and even life, have been the consequence.
He thinks that if it be not the duty of the police to do the
needful, it would be well, at such a season, to employ a
number of the destitute poor at moderate wages in the re-
quired work.
" Query" will perceive, from an article which appeared in
our last publication, that his communication has been, in
a great measure, anticipated.
The lines on " Farewell" are marked for insertion in our
next.

"An Inhabitant of Toxteth 'Ward" wisher us to put the
public on their guard against a man who is going round,
in that neighbourhood, on the mornings of each Sunday,
collecting small sums, as he says, for the purpose of build-
ing a new churn, to be called St, Mary's. This "new
church" is a Roman Catholic Mass House. Many parties
have been induced to contribute thief mites, under the idea
that the proposed erection is to be in connection with the
Established Church. If the individual alluded to has a
spark of honesty about him, he will immediately refund
those sums which have been given under this false im-
pression.
Several poetical contributions which have been forwarded to
us shall appear as soon as we can find room for them.

depraved taste of sight-lovers in England, for the greater the
danger the more liberal are they in their rewards. After this
Scott dived a number of times from a coal-ship moored oft
Cherry-garden-stairs. • Rotherhithe, then off the Custom
House and Southwark-bridge, and took his "last leap" from
Waterloo-bridge. The diver, invariably before taking a leap,
performed a number of tricks and antics for the amusement
of his auditors, some of which were quite terrific to witnesss,
particularly his suspending himself by a rope round his neck,
and he has frequently been advised to dispense with it, but
he always replied that not the slightest danger attended the
performance of the trick, and generally used to observe on
such occasions, that he had been assured by a fortune-teller
that he should never die by either hanging or drowning. He
was consequently not at all apprehensive on that score. Scott,
though by no means an intelligent man, was a very civil, un-
assuming fellow, and very abstemious, seldom taking any-
thing but a dram of neat rum after his immersion in the
water. He was very anxious to jump from the top of the
Monument, and was asked if he would attempt it if two or
three loads of straw were placed below for him to alight upon,
which he refused to do, but was willing to attempt it if the
corporation of London would provide eight or ten feet of
water for him to fall into; and he talked of applying to the
Lord Mayor on the subject, but he never did so.

tion, and set matters right. My remarks were not made im-
mediately after the singing, nor during the reading of pray-
ers, but in the midst of my sermon : so far then, all things

were done decently and ino;We;,lifter the best usages in our
parish churches. But before I proceed, I will say one word
upon that dreadful evil—extemporaneous prayer, so often
reiterated in Mr. Batcheldor's evidence. May not the custom
of freely calling upon God in prayer, be at the ,foundation of
his thoughts of my orthodoxy ? His suspicious that my object
was to lead the auditory into other opinions than those held
by the Church of England ? Ido not dispute his extreme
orthodoxy, but I think you will suppose me to be ridiculing
you, if I should say, I thought him either in intellect, or in
habits, a competent judge of the soundness of my sentiments,
or of their accordance with the revealed will of God. _

His testimony, however, on this subject, will at least show
something of the bias—l do not mean intentional bias—of his
mind against me—evidently arising out of my religious senti-

nents only.
" I have the cpPortunity of' knowing whether Dr. Buck
performs his duty ill or well. I should not apply the word
' skulking' to any part of his conduct. Ido not think that
he, with a view to escape his duties, ever went through them
ling I in a slight or frivolous way. I do not think, though the

deviation in the church service is made by the chaplain, it is
done with any view to escape his general duties ; but with a
view to impress a different light upon his audience, on reli-
gious opinions, than is contained in-the church litany. My
impression is that he intended to throw out a different opinion
on religious subjects than that contained in the church
ritual.''

Now, hear what Mr. Buck!

" When living at Kirkdale, I usually attend Mr. James's
ministry. I have heard the chaplain preach pretty often. I
do not think the doctrines be preaches are opposed to those

proceed, according to our

pro Loise, to point out a feW'uf those duties to which we,
then alluded, the modification or abolition of which
would; we conceive, .be desirable, and the amount of
which we would gladly see levied in some other and
less objectionable form.

The first to which we shall advert is the duty upon
cotton woolthe staple of our most important manu-
facture. The impolitic nature of this tax—of all taxes,

in fact, upon the raw material of, articles of export—
was fully admitted by Lord Althorp, when conceding
the abolition of the duty upon printed calicoes ; and a

distinct promise was then held out that its continuance
was to be merely temporary. Yet a period of nearly
ten years has now elapsed, and no effort has been made

to procure its repeal. The duty is one of that nature
which does not press itself upon the attention of the
masses, but effects its portion of mischief silently and
unobserved. Its pressure affords no handle by which

hired agitators or an incendiary press can work upon
the passions of the many-headed multitude; and

hence, it is left out of the catalogue of grievances with

which these ingenious gentlem(

LIVERPOOL COTTON

MA.RKILT, JAN 13

Speculators (acting upon advices per packet o'fth-elgtkiultimo,
of short crops) for the laet three or four days had operated to a
large extent, but this morning it was evident the fever had abated,
and the trade had the market to themselves ; their demandiwere
large, and as the day advanced, speculators came in, causing a
♦ery extensive business to be done, say to the amount of 12,000
bales, at prices very similar to those of Monday and Tuesrlay.
The market, ac is usual, when much excitement prevails, Was
very uneven, and •many desirous of realizing at the late advance,
made some little concession to the buyer.

THURSDAY EVENING

The spirited demand so prevalent of late, has materially subsided,
and it is evident that consumers will proceed very cautiously in
their purchases, merely supplying their. immediate wants. This
has caused a tamer market to-day, and the change is in favour of
the buyer. Cotton is more freely shewn, and a desire to realize is
very evident. The arrival of the steamer is looked for with con-
siderable anxiety, as her accounts of crop, &c. will rather establish
the advance, or cause a reduction, not perhaps to a large extent.
She would leave od the Ist instant, and may be hourly expected.
The market 'loses with a quieter appearance, and the business of
the day is estimated at 6,000 bales. 1500 American and 800 Surat
on speculation account.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN 14.
The Inland navigation having been closed by the frost, we are
not able to report any important transactions in Butter for actual
consumption. There are however several speculative inquiries,
and the currency of all descriptions is well supported. Pickled
Butter is a free sale, and commands 103 s per cwt. Beef and Pork
are dull—so is Bacon ; some revival is. shortly expected in the
former articles.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JA.

There was only a poor show of cattle to-day, whether as it re-
gards quality or quantity. The best Beef was rather dearer,
though we do not alter the quotations. Prime wether Mutton was
also dearer, and in one or two cases as much as 8d per lb was paid,
but the general run for prime stuff we quote at 'ad per lb, or id per
lb advance on last week's rates. Every thing was sold. Best Beef,
5-ild to 62d • middling and ordinary, 4id to .54d. Prime Mutton did
to lid, and Ewes, &c., 54d to 64d per lb sinking the offal.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, JAN. 13

Foreign : Low, and unwashed wools have been purchased to a
considerable extent, for the American and Continental markets,
but the home trade has had a quiet appearance, in a great degree
,owing to manufacturers having been engaged in stocks taking,
and the prevalence of frost. Imported this week; 3040 bags.
Scotch : owing to the causes as signed above, there was very little
inquiry for any description of Scotch wools. The imports 'how-
ever, continue to be limited, and there is a fair prospect of a speedy
improvement in prices.

True it is, undoubtedly, that the tendency of mo-
dern "philosophy" is to represent colonies as worse
than useless—as " burdens"- on the parent state. Let
it not be forgotten, however, that the tendency of the
same "philosophy" is to represent a large portion of
our labourers—the real strength of every country

a surplus population," and, consequently, as " a
burden" on the country which their energies enrich
and defend. The beautiful "philosophy" in question
describes, in like manner, the monarchy as a " bur-
den"—the order of nobility as a " burden"—the church
as a " burden." Private charity, too, is, (if the tenets
of " liberal philosophy" may be accepted) a pernicious
thing ; while a public provision for the helpless poor is
classed amongst the unforgivable sins. The best af-
fections of our nature, as well as our most honoured
institutions, rank, in short, according to the Malthu-
sian and free-trade " philosophy," in the category of
" hurdens"—if not in that of " nuisances." Our no-
ble colonies can afford to be classed with our labour-
ers, our monarch, and our nobles.

► tion, and set matters right. My remarks were not made int-
mediately after the singing, nor during the reading of pray-
ers, but in the niidst of my sermon : so far then, all things
were done decently and in-order, after. the best usages ui our
parish churches. But. before I proceed, I will say one word
upon that dreadful evil—extemporaneous prayer, so often
reiterated in Mr. Batcheldor's evidence. May not the custom
of freely calling upon God in prayer, be at the foundation of
his thoughts of my orthodoxy ? His suspicions that my object
was to lead the auditory into other opinions than those held
by the Church of England ? Ido opt dispute his extreme
orthodoxy, but I think you will suppose me to be ridiculing
you, if I should say, I thought him either in intellect, or in
habits, a competent judge of the soundness of my sentiments,
or of their accordance with the revealed will of God. _

Ilis testimony, however, on this subject, will at least shew
something of the bias—l do not mean intentional bias—of his
mind against me—evidently arising out of my religious senti-
mots only.

1` I have the opportunity of knowing whether Dr. Buck
performs his duty ill or well. I should not apply the wort!
skulking' to any part of his conduct. Ido not think that
he, with a view to escape his duties, ever went through them
in a slight or frivolous way. I do not think, though the
deviation in the church service is made by the chaplain, it is
done with any view to escape his general duties ; but with a
view to impress a different light upon, his audience, on reli-
gious opinions, than is contained in the church litany. My
ion is that he intended to throw out a different opinion
objects than that contained in the church.

Now, hear what Mr. 'Buckley, your taskmaster, (who was
for reporting me to the bishop), swears.
" When living 'at Kirkdale, I usually attend Mr.
ministry. I have heard the chaplain preach pretty often: l
do not think the doctrines he preaches are opposed to thost
of the Church of England."
Well, then, we arrive at this conclusion, that I made

elsewhere) made upon their feelings as men and christians in
behalf of the Moravian missions in Greenland. The hard-

in that appeal. The present cold weather can but faintly give
us an idea of the bitter winds of the north,-and if we complain
when the thermometer is hardly below Zero, we ought to
extend to our christian brethren much sympathy, kindness,
and support to enable them to withstand " the pittiless pelt-
ing of the storm," braved for a work indeed of love, when it
stands with them at 50 degrees below that point. We are
certain that no one perusing the highly interesting statement
to which we refer can refuse them succour. It will be noticed
that in St. Petersburgh there is a society formed for the pur-
pose of gathering subscriptions and affording relief to these
kind-hearted creatures, but the funds at present are low, and
require the aid of the benevolent. It will be observed that
several ladies and gentlemen in this neighbourhood have un-

JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET

MONDAY EVENING.—This has been a flat day in the
funds, and the Globe's gentleman of the leading article will
be surprised no doubt to learn that the prices of Stocks
which he " sent up" a few days since with such smirking
self-complacency have been " sent down" again to-day with
just as much rapidity as they went up. Consols, in spite of
Chinese triumphs and Indian victories declined to-day to
891 to-1. Bank Stock 163 i to Exchequer Bills 9s to
Ils premium.—ln Foreign Securities there has been little
doing. Spanish Active with the Coupons were 2-Ig. Portu-
guese Five per Cents 31i to 4-, the Three per Cents 191 to
201. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents 50} to , the Five
per Cents 981 to Belgian 971 to Bi. Brazilian NI to
Mexican 28-ito 9. Colombian 231 to 4. Danish 77i to Bi.

TUESD AIEVEN IN G.—The Stock market continues heavy,
and a decline may again be noted in Consols, which left oil
only 891 to 4 for money and account. Exchequer Bills were
9s. to lls. premium. Bank Stock is still in demand, and
improved to 1644 to 54.
The Foreign market remains in an inactive state. Spanish
Active with the Coupons 241 to I. Portuguese Five per
Cents 311 to 21, the Three per Cents 191 to 20/. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents 501 to 4, the Five per Cents 984

to 7 premium. South Western 57 to 8 per share. North
Midland 22 to 20 discount, the New Shares 2 discount to par.
Eastern Counties 1.15 to 131, South Eastern and Dover 15 to
145, Blackwell 45 to 31, Brighton 61 to 5 discount.
WEDNESDAY Evy.mstG.—Without any very great deal of
business having been transacted, the English funds assumed
more firmness, and a slight advance took place. Consols for
money and the accoant, closed 891 to 4 ; Bank Stock, 164 to
166; India Stock, 248 t0'250; 3 per Cents. Reduced, 894;
355 per Cents. Reduced, 985; Long Annuities (expiring Jan.
5, 1860), 13 1-16th ; ditto 30 years (expiring Jan. 5, 1(.130),
12 13-16ths ; India Bonds, G to:.B.discount and Exchequer
Bills (Is. lower than yesterday), Bs. to 10s. premium.
The foreign securities have not been influenced in any
way, and with a trifling amount of business remain as yes-
terday. Spanish Actives left off 245 to ; Portuguese 5 per
Cents., 311 to 21; ditto 3 per Cents., 191 to 205 ex. div. ;
Dutch 25 per Cents., 505 to -4 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 985 to 1;
Mexican, 285 to 1; Colombian, 234 to 1; Danish, i 74 to
785 ; and Belgian, 97 to 8&.
Railway shares have not recovered the late decline, al-
though the bargains transacted to-day were at rather better
prices. Blackwell shares closed at 4 to 35 discount;
Brighton, 51 to discount; Birmingham 81 to 83 prem. ;
Great Western, 29 to 30 premium ; South Western, 574 to
85 per share ; North Midland, 21 to 19 discount ; ditto new
shares, par to 1 premium ; and Gosport, 65 to 7-5 prem.

House and Southwark-bridge, and took his "last leap" from
Waterloo-bridge. The diver, invariably before taking a leap,
performed a number of tricks and antics for the amusement
of his auditors, some of which were quite terrific to witnesss,
particularly his suspending himself by a rope round his neck,

and he has frequently been advisedto dispense with it, but
he always replied that not the slightest danger attended the
performance of the trick, and generally used to observe on

such occasions, that he had been assured by a fortune-teller
that he should. never die by either hanging or drowning. He
was consequently not at all apprehensive on that score. Scott,
though by no means an intelligent man, was a very civil, un-
assuming fellow, and very abstemious, seldom taking any-
thing but a dram of neat rum after his immersion in the
water. He was very anxious to jump from the top of the
Monument, and was asked if he would attempt it if two or
three loads of straw were placed below for him to alight upon,
which he refused to do, but was Willing to attempt it if the
corporation of London would provide eight or ten feet of
water for him to fall into ; and he talked of applying to the
Lord Mayor on the subject, but he never did so.

his skill and dexterity as a seaman, his bravery and good con-
duct, would have secured him promotion in either service, if
he had not abandoned a naval life and become a mountebank

to please the depraved taste of mobs. Notwithstanding the
multitudes he always collected to witness his singular feats,
and his great popularity, his remuneration seldom exceeded a

few shillings, except on two occasionsof exhibition off the Cus-
tom House, when £4. was collected at one time, and £3. the
