TREATY WITH PARAGUAY.—The London Gazette, of
Friday, contains the terms of the treaty of " friendship,
_ _ .

PROVISION

commerce, and navigation," between her Majesty and tlie
Republic of Paraguay, which was ratified on Wednesday
last. It consists of 17 articles, and is signed by Sir Charles
Hotham, and "the Paraguayan citizen Francisco Solano
Lopez,"_the President of the Republic, on behalf of the

two high contracting parties. The Republic concedes to
the merchant flag of British subjects the free navigation of
the rives Paraguay as far as Assumption, the capital, and
of the right side of the Parana, from where it belongs to
her, as far as the city of Encarnacion. British goods are
to be admitted on the terms of the most favoured nations;
and, in case of any rupture between the two contracting
parties, the subjects of either who may be established in
the dominions of the other are to be allowed to remain in
the continuance of their employment, and in full enjoy-
ment of their liberty and property, while the public funds
of the two countries are never to be confiscated, sequestered,
.or detained. Full liberty of conscience is guaranteed to
British residents in Paraguay.
BURNING OF A BARQUE ON TUE CLYDE.—On Friday
afternoon, the barque Victoria, 600 tons, of New York,
left the Broomielaw, in tow of a tug, for New York.
When nearly opposite to Whiteinch, three miles down the
river, the master of a tug passing up the river, called to
the master of a tug which had the Victoria in tow that
his ship was on fire. About this time the discovery had
also been made on board the ship, and on the openinc,
of the afterhatch, it was found that the flames had made
so great progress as to render any attempt at saving the
vessel hopeless. She was run ashore, and the crew and
passengers were taken on board the tug, the cook in irons,
charged with being the cause of the catastrophe. He
states that a dismissed steward had declared that the ves-
sel would never reach New York, and the whole crew,
several of whom are Frenchmen, have, in the meantime,
been taken into custody. The master was not on board.
The second mate says he has no doubt, from the disar-
ranged state of the bales in the hold, on the discovery of
the fire, that it has been the work of an incendiary, and
that the vessel must have been on fire before she left the
Broomielaw.

THE SHIP CONTINENT, Captain Drummond, with 180
passengers from New York, arrived in the river on Thurs-
day. During her passage, she met with the following
disaster :—While lying to, on the morning of the 21st ult.,
in a heavy gale from W.N.W., it shifted suddenly to
N.N.W., laid her in the trough of the sea, she was boarded
by a heavy sea, from the main rigging to the taffrail,
which stove in her bulwarks, skylights, and companion-
ways, swept away the wheelhouse and everything contained
in it, all the boats except the longboat, and split the plank-
share to the length of sixty feet, the chasm being in many
parts a foot wide; she was now rapidly filling, when, by
loosening the foretopsail, she was got before the wind, with
her leeward toprail still under water. She came to the
wind on the other tack, but, as the sea was breaking
heavily over her, she was forced to be kept off again. On
sounding the pumps, nine feet of water was found in the
hold, and more than four in the 'tween decks. The
pumps were so choked with grain as to be useless in their
position. At this juncture the Philanthropist appeared in
sight, but was unable, from the roughness of the sea, to
render immediate assistance. Next morning she sent a
boat, as near as she could safely come, to say that she
would remain till the sea moderated, and then take the
passengers and crew on board. The pump was, in the
meantime, working well, and as the ship was considered
out of danger, the Philanthropist sailed away, having
taken 25 of the passengers, who availed themselves of the
kind offer.

LA.IINCIIES.—On Tuesday, a vessel named the Spirit of
the Deep, A 1 thirteen years, and 733 tons register, was
launched from the yard of Mr. J. T. Alcock, Sunderland.

INLAND CARDIAGB OF Timnnn.--We have frequently
adverted (observe Messrs. Chaloner and Fleming in their
circular) to the disadvantages that Liverpool labours under,
as compared with other ports, through the greatly dis.
proportioned rates of inland carriage, by rail and water,
levied on her traffic to the manufacturing districts, where
she is brought into competition with rival ports, both east
and west, which have had the benefit of rates out of all
comparison favourable to their development; and our re-
monstrances have always been met by the declaration that
if other companies carried to a loss those out of Liverpool
would not. The trade, therefore, has been found to submit
to these exactions, not through any
convictions on their
minds of the justice of the reasons assigned, but through
the despotic power exercised by a combined monopoly,
which, holding the only gates of exit from the town in
their control, enables them to dictate what terms they
please, as exemplified by a notification of a further advance
in the rates of carriage to take place on the Ist November,
equivalent to 11 per cent, on square timber, and 21 per
cent. on deals, the more manageable and much less cum-
brous article, but of which more than half the import
consists. This conduct on the part of the inland carriers

interests, that have so largely benefited by their liberal
conduct regarding the dock lines, which they have made
available for the London and North Western traffic free of
charge ; and it now becomes a serious question, (seeing
that one of the chief influencing motives of Parliament in
sanctioning rival lines was the promotion of healthful
competition,) if it is not the duty of the trading com-
munity to bring the matter before Parliament for inquiry
and adjustment.

MARKETS

-
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 4.—ln Beef the transactions this
week have been limited to retail sales, at about previous
prices. Pork, also, has been sparingly dealt in, the dealers
buying only to supply present wants. Bacon sells rather
more freely, but holders meet buyers readily, being anxious
to clear out before shipments of new begin. Shoulders are
in moderate retail demand. About 50 tons Lard have changed
hands, at a shade under last week's prices; the make of
home Lard at this season generally checks consumption of
American, hence, unless prices recede, there can be no great
activity for a few weeks. There is a moderate demand for
Cheese, and where fine, full prices have been made. Tallow
is very dull, at a further decline.

Nov. 7.—The transactions in Butter have been quite on a
retail scale since our last report ; prices have further de-
clined 25., which holds out no inducement to the dealers to
purchase more than to serve their immediate wants. The
strike in the manufacturing districts, and the extremely high
price of provisions, are the principal causes of the consump-
tion of Butter having fallen off, and the increase of stocks.
Waterford, Carrick, and Clonruel, 945. to 955. ; Kilkenny,
Carlow, and Wexford, 935. to 91s. ; Belfast, 925. to 935. ;
