LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 28.
We have had a fair average supply of Stook at our market to-
day, with prices a little lower. Beef, 64d. to 74d.; Mutt0n,741...
to IV.; Lamb, 63d. to 7d. per lb.

HULL CORN MARKET. JUNE 22.
To-day, we had a large supply of Wheat from our own anct
Lincolnshire farmers, and more samples than of late, both of
foreign and coastwise. Very irregular prices were asked and
given, so that it is difficult to quote with accuracy, but no g,reat.
progress could be made in sales without submitting to a rt
duction of 3s to 4s per quarter. Nothing doing in sp:ing Corn.
Egyptian Beans are offering on low terms.

TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1647.

We take the following from the London Times
of yesterday :
Notwithstanding the Hon. C. P. Villiers is likely to be
nominated for South Lancashire, nothing has yet been
said of his intention to decline the representation of Wol-
verhampton. The probability is that he will remain faith-
ful to his first love, and that the electors of South Lanca-
shire, after going through the forms of an election, will
be compelled to solicit the services of some other favourite.
If there be any ground for this anticipation of our
contemporary, we apprehend there is a fine open-
ing for the introduction of a Protestant candidate
to the constituency of South Lancashire.

On Thursday last, an adjourned meeting of the
Conservative Association was held at their rooms,
for the purpose of deciding upon the selection of
candidates to contest the borough. The meeting
was well attended, and the proceedings at that, as
at all the previous meetings, were most harmonious
throughout, notwithstanding the assertion to the
contrary of a Saturday's contemporary. The whole
of the gentlemen present manifested the greatest
willingness to forbear pressing any personal predi-
lections in favour of any particular candidate ; and
not an angry word, or the semblance of any differ-
ence of opinion, or split, was observable. Nothing,
however, of a conclusive nature was determined
upon'; and the meeting was further adjourned to
yesterday at half-past two p.m.
The meeting was accordingly held yesterday,
and was most influentially and numerously at-
tended, the same earnestness and unanimity being
displayed which had characterised all their former
meetings. It will be seen from our advertising
columns that the result was the adoption of Reso-
lutions declaring that Sir Digby Mackworth, Bart.,
should be invited to offer himself to the constitu-
ency, and that Sir Howard Douglas, Bart., should
be requested to come forward again, A deputation
was appointed to wait upon Sir Digby, who is at
present staying at the Adelphi Hotel; and it will
be seen from his advertisement in our columns,
and upon the walls, that he has acceded to the
wish of the Conservative body, and to-day, at
half-past two, will-make his appearance on 'Change
and address the electors. A deputation also pro-
ceeded to London to wait upon Sir Howard
Douglas, who it is confidently expected will with-
draw, at their request, his intention of retiring
from the representation.
We congratulate most heartily the Conservatives
and the Protestants of Liverpool upon this happy
selection of men to represent their interests and to
protect the interests and the institutions of their
country. In Sir Digby Mackworth, as will be seen
from his address, we shall secure a conscientious
and unflinching supporter of the principles of our
Protestant Reformation ; a friend to the mainte-
nance of a fair protection to the national industry,
and one who will not be betrayed into the suicidal
folly of undermining that great interest which has
contributed so greatly to advance the reputation,
the security, and the commercial and naval power
of Great Britain—her shipping interest. Sir Digby
is resolutely opposed to any tampering with the
navigation laws, by which British shipping is pro-
tected against the foreigner; and is disposed to
receive, with the high consideration which they de-
serve, any suggestions from this important com-
mercial constituency with respect to the Currency
Bill of 1844 and all other commercial questions.
Of. Sir Howard Douglas we need say nothing in
praise. He has been tried in stormy times ; and
when, so many others wavered, Sir Howard was
found true as steel. As a man of business, ever
active to press the claims and to protect the inte-
rests of this constituency, he is second to no mem-
ber of the House of Commons, and has given satis-
faction to every deputation from Liverpool which
has waited upon him for counsel or assistance.
He is, a man, moreover, of acknowledged high
personal honour and integrity; and his influence
with men of all parties in parliament or in power
is deservedly great.
The great consideration, however, which should
weigh with the Protestant electors of Liverpool to
put forth their most strenuous efforts to return
triumphantly Sir Howard and Sir Digby, is the
position in which their principles place them be-
tween the Protestant institutions of the country
and the advancing tide of Popery and Infidelity.
There is nothing which will more strengthen the
hands of the defenders of the church and the con-
stitution of the country than the declaration to the
world, by the free burgesses and the electors of
this great and loyal commercial constituency, by
the return of two such men, that they are not pre-
pare& to sacrifice their Protestant consistency for
any mere temporal consideration—that they are
resolved that no further concession shall he made
to agitation, and that whilst they are willing to
remain tolerant, they are not prepared to aggran-
dize and endow, what the laws of the country and
the voice of their church have declared to be dan-
gerous error and abominable idolatry.

IT IS not often that we find ourselves agreeing in
opinion upon questions of commercial or social
policy with our Whig contemporary, the Morning
Chronicle. Just now, however, we have that gra-
tification ; and most cordially beg leave to express
our thanks to the Chronicle for one of the most
damaging blows levelled against the modern panacea
of free trade, which has recently been dealt. It is
true that there is nothing
particularly new in our
contemporary's discoveries. They have been again
and again advanced by ourselves and others. The
novelty,. and the telling quality of the remarks,
consist in the circumstance that they come from a
Whig, authority.
Our contemporary refers to thea fact., as one of a
most dangerous tendency, th, whilst our exports
Pcedng years, 1
i
of late have been equal to those of
being; up to the sth May, this year,re £16,157,969,
against £15,873,858 to the same period last year,
our importations have largely exceeded them, thus
creating a balance against us which threatens
speedily to absorb the entire available capital of the
country. Those importations, moreover, consist, in
a vastly increased degree, of articles of consumption,
whilst the importation of articles intended for re-
production—raw materials, &c., which our industry
• •
canAcxivert• into capital—has considerably fallen
" off.- The forcer class of articles, our contemporary
• remarh• " when consumed, is absolutely gone for
ever ; it leaves no representative behind to com-
mand or exchange for a future supply." Not so
the second, which " replenishes our workshops and
our warehouses, and is always `to the fore' to per-
form the same good offices again." The following
table, which the Chronicle has taken from the
columns of the Economist, shews the comparative
