Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1847-12-28

the newspapers published a note signed by the renowned
cantatrice, in which she stated that in order to give her
native country a souvenir that might last beyond her exist-
ence as an artiste, she had determined on devoting the
whole profits of her performances to the establishment of
a school for poor young persons of both sexes, born with
happy dispositions, in which they should gratuitously be
taught music and the dramatic art.

AT HARD CASE.—John H. Winston, a coloured man,
who left this city last spring as a fireman on a steam-boat,
was committed, for want of freedom certificates to the jail
of Henderson County, Ky. He was expected to be sold
into slavery for his jail fees. We are informed his evi-
dences of freedom have been forwarded, and we trust they
will reach their destination in time to relieve him of the
calamity which threatens.—Pittsburg Gazette, 1847.
" This,' adds the Courier, " is well styled a hard case.
Even the old Roman laws required, that in cases where
persons were claimed as slaves, the presumption should
always be that they were free ; and they allowed their
freedom until it was proved that they had no good title to
it. One of the most touching tragedies of Roman legen-
dary history, that of Virginia, grew out of the violation of
this wholesome law by a magistrate whose tyranny was
made the pander of his lust. It certainly seems reasona-
ble that Southern citizens should enact laws at least as
favourable to liberty as those of ancient Rome."

The arrivals, with the large quantity left unsold last week,
form a fair show of samples to-day. The sales have not been
very extensive, until the full rates of last week were generally
paid for all qualities. In Barley a fair business doing, and on
as ghod terms as those current this day week. Both Oats and
Shelling worth quite as much money.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Dec. 24.
Without any considerable business during the week, prices
have been fully maintained.

Our market to-day is held out of its ❑sual course, and we
have a thin attendance, with but little passing. We repeat last
quotations, with the exception of those for Indian Corn and'
Corn Meal, the former being 2s. per quarter. the latter 6d. to
Is. per barrel dearer. The appearance of the trade generally,
firm and steady.

LEEDS CORN MARKET. Dec. 21.
We are largely supplied with Wheat and Beans, and fairly
with other articles to-day. All grain met a slow demand, and
where sales are pressed rather lower prices are submitted to,
particularly for Beans, which sold folly Is. per qr. cheaper.

HULL CORN MARKET, DEC. 21.
We had at to-day's market a good supply of Wheat from our
farmers, but less new foreign than of late, though not charac-
terised by any briskness, the market Is. dearer, a good sale for
old foreign at a like advance. Barley fully supports its price.
Oats without alteration. In Beans next to notbing doing. Pease
dearer.

THE JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL

Our readers will ask from us no apology for presenting
to them the following address from a true fri

constitution and religion of England

"-Weldon, Dec. 18, 1847.
" Fellow Countrymen,---To those amongst you who
have not been imbrued with the falsely-styled Liberal,
but truly Infidel principles of the present day, and who
still value the inestimable blessings which Christianity has

comerreu upon our country—to those amongst you who
still regard it as your highest duty, and your most exalted
privilege, to uphold that blessed religion which our cru-

cified Lord and Saviour bequeathed to us as the most in-
valuable of all earthly possessions, I call upon you at this
hour of national apostacy and infidelity (by every duty
which you owe to yourselves, your children, your country,
and to your God, and by that awful account which we
shall all have to give before His tribunal) boldly and
firmly to declare to the majority of the nominal professing
Christians of the lower house of parliament, who, by their
votes last night, have placed Christianity and Judaism
upon the same footing within the walls of that house,
that you are prepared to bury yourselves under the ruins
of your country, rather than suffer the Christian charac-
ter of the legislature to be destroyed, and the foul unbear-
able stigma to be attached to our land, that England has
become a Christ-denying people.
" I have the honour to be, with every respect,
" Your most obedient faithful servant,
" WINCHELSEA and NOTTINGHAM."

• PORT OF RUNCORN.
VOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the privilege
111 of BONDING GOODS in general has been extended to
the Port of Runcorn, situate on the River Mersey, in the County
of Chester, about eighteen miles above Liverpool.
Docks are already provided at Runcorn, and there is Wharf
room sufficient for the accommodation of a large business.
Warehouse accommodation has l'een prepared for the reception
of Bonded Goods, and a Yard for Bonding Timber of all kinds
has been completed ; there is also a large provision for Merchan-
dise not for Bond.

The Warehouses being immediately contiguous to the Docks,
there will be no expense for Cartage of Goods to them from the
Vessels.

Powerful Steamers ply twice every day between Liverpool
and Runcorn, and Ships with Cargoes for these Docks, or for
or from the Canals communicating therewith, are towed by
them free of charge.
No 'Dockage charge will be made on ' s using the Basins
or Docks for the purpose of tra nless they remain longer

The proximity o uncorn to the Manufacturing Districts of
Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, the Potteries and
Iron Districts of Staffordshire, Wolverhampton, Birmingham,
&c., and their Vicinities, and to the Inland Towns of the Mid-
land and Northern Counties of England, renders the Port
especially eligible for all purposes of traffic in connexion with
these places. The Coal-fields of Lancashire, the Salt-works of
Cheshire, together with the usual Exports of the Manufacturing
and Trading Towns, give facilities for Ships procuring Export
Cargoes with the least possible delay. Ready and economical
communication exists with all these districts, by which means
Goods are speedily forwarded to their destination.

From official returns it appears that the amount of
traffic for the last week, on upwards of 3,237 miles of
railway, was £150,900, thus accounted for :—£70,753 for
the conveyance of passengers only, £45,099 for the car-
riage of goods, and a remainder of £35,049 for passengers
and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being
an increase of £17,875 over the corresponding week of
last year, when the mileage was about 2,525. The aver-
age earnings per mile for last week were £46, whilst in
1846 they were £52.

OPENING OF THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—The open-
ing of this important railway, as a through line of commu-
nication between London and Edinburgh, may now be
announced as an event on the very eve of consummation.
On Friday, the 17th instant, Mr. Addison the resident
engineer of the company at Carlisle, accompanied by Mr.
Mould, chief agent of Mr. Stephenson and Co., the con-
tractors, and a party of their friends, performed the
journey between Carlisle and Edinburgh in one of the
London and North-Western Company's first-class car-
riages, which had arrived from Euston-square; the only
interruption experienced having proceeded from the work-

" cheer them on their way," which they accordingly did,
in good style.

READ THE FOLLOWING

From Mr. P. Roberts, Chemist, Ranelaqh-street, Liverpool.
`a January 2d, 1845.-
" OENTI BMEN,—I send you two cases of cures •ilThave
received since my last, and I think it wool( oing good to
advertise the Wafers in Liverpool, as th ve very great satis-
faction to all who take them.—Your c., "P. ROBERTS."
RAPID CURE OF COUGH - FFICULTY OF BREATHING
" To Mr. P. erts, Ranelagh-street.
" Hale ear Liverpool, December 10th, 1844.
" SIR,—I write form you of the great benefit I have re-
ceived from taking Locock's Wafers, which you recommended
to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that, when I lay
down, a coughing fit came on with such violence that I have
often thought I should not live to see the morning; but now I
can sleep a whole night without coughing, after taking only two
boxes of Wafers. (Signed) " J. HAYES."

ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS.
" To Mr. P. Roberts, Ranelaqh-street.
" Parliament-street, Liverpool, Jan. Ist, 1845.
" SIII,--It is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the ex-
traordinary powers of Locock's Pulmonic Wafers. I had been
troubled with a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years,
without relief, when, by your recommendation, I was induced
to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of which were soon visible,
for one large box (2s. 9d.) has quite cured me. 1 have since
recommended them to several of my friends, and they have also
experienced the greatest relief from them.—l remain, yours,
ever grateful, "JOHN WILLIAMS."
The particulars of many hundred Cures may he had from
every Agent throughout the Kingdom, and on the continent.
DR. LOCOCK'S WAFERS give instant relief, and a rapid
cure of Asthmas, Consumptions, Coughs, Colds, and all Dis-
orders of the Breath and Lungs.
To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable,
as in a few hours they remove all Hoarseness, and increase the
Power and Flexibility of the Voice. They have a most pleasant
taste. Price Is. lAd., 2s. 9d., and lls. per box.

SEVERE CAS 'OF HOOPING COMM,

" Sir —A child of milie was very ill in the hoop`ng cough ;
when the fits of coughing came on she was frequently black in
the face. My medical man made use of the ordinary remedies
without much apparent effect, telling me it must take its
course ; but, having seen the advertisement of ROPER'S
ROYAL BATH PLASTER, I applied to you for one, when, to
my great joy, the fits became less violent and at much longer
intervals, until, in less than a week's time, she was as well as

SEVERE PAIN UNDER THE LEFT BREAST.
" To Messrs. Roper and Son.
" Gentlemen ,---The following very important testimonial has
been received from Mrs. Mary Turner, Spring-street, Bury,
who has been under the care of several eminent medical prac-
titioners, for a severe pain, of long standing, under the left
breast. I prevailed upon her to try one of your ROYAL BATH
PLASTERS, which, in three days, entirely removed the pain,
and she has 'been perfectly free from it ever since. You may
make what use you please of the above information, as Mrs. T.
is willing to answer any inquiries.
" I am, yours, Sze., "• 11. MAIDEN, Chemist.
" Bury, February 12, 1847."
Observe the words "Roper's Royal
_ Bath Plaster" engraved
on the government stamp, and the Proprietor's fa* eimiles oa
the back. .
