TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are compelled to postpone the article on Socialism--it
shall appear on Tuesday if the pressure of Assize Intelli-
gence will admit of it.
The letter of " J. T." has been received, and shall appear on
Tuesday, if possible. We shall endeavour to comply with
our correspondent's suggestion, but he would particularly
oblige us if he would write his communications on one side
of the paper.
We have received, from an unknwon quarter, a copy of the
TVilts and Gloucestershire Standard, of the 28th of March,
in which there appears, verbatim et literatim, as a leading
article, a "leader" which appeared in the LIVERPOOL
STANbARD of Feb. 21. We certainly feel highly flattered
by the compliment paid us by our western contemporary ;
but we should have been better-pleased if the source from
which the article in question was derived had been acknow-
ledged.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 1840.

By the Josepha, Captain Wlntyre, which arrived
here on Wednesday, we have intelligence from Charles-
ton to the Ist of March. The political news brought
by the Josepha is totally unimportant. The commer-
cial intelligence is of a varied character. In cotton

there had been a considerable demand, especially among
dealers in Upland, of which about 10,523 bales had
been taken during the week previous to the 29th of
February. The prices ranged from sto 91 cents per
lb. The following quotations give generally a fair cri-
terion of the market :—Liverpool classification, ordi-
nary and inferior, 6+ to 7; middling and middle fair,
71 to 8 ; fair to fully fair, 8+ to 81; good fair, 81 to 9 ;
choice 91 to 10 cents per lb. There were several choice
lots on hand, which were held at a fraction above the
latter quotation. Dealers in long cotton had taken 274
bags Sea Island, at the following prices : 10 at 20; 16
at 21; 8 at 22; 71 from 18 to 27; 109 from 25 to 40;
and 90 bags Santee at 20 cents per lb.
In the rice market the following were the last quota-
.

tions :—lnferior to fair, 21 to 2i; good to prime, 2'l to
3 ; and a strictly choice parcel would bring a fraction
above the latter quotation. Rough rice had been sold
at 77 cents per bushel. The operations in all descrip-
tions of Flour continued light, as the business was
chiefly confined to the city bakers. North Carolina
had been selling in small parcels, and according to qua-
lity, at from 51 to 61 per barrel. Superfine Virginia
was as high as seven dollars per barrel.

In the absence of arrivals the salt market had be-
come more firm—in fact holders were asking an ad-
vance on stone lots. Liverpool was quoted at 11 to li

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TVESDAY.

There were again many petitions presented on the subject
of the corn-laws, and which gave rise to much interesting
conversation.
Lord MELBOURNE presented a petition from the General
Assembly, Scotland, -representing the state of the church iu
that country, in consequence of recent legal decisions, and
urging the necessity of legislation on the subject, in order to
secure the interests of that church.
The Earl of ABERDEEN said that legislation was so impera-
tively required, in order to restore peace to the church of
Scotland, that if the Government did not, he would, after
Easter, bring forward sonic measure with the view of effect-
ing such object.
Lord DUNCANNOY moved for papers illustrative of the
state of the " Clergy Reserves," Canada, from 1819 to 1829,
&c.
The Bishop of EXETER said he was rejoiced that the
government at last appeared to be alive to the importance of
this subject ; and he was only astonished that information
had not before been called for, especially after the despatch
from Mr. P. Thomson, recently presented to parliament,
accompanying the Clergy Reserves Bill. That gentleman in
his despatch, and after having fixed himself in Upper Ca-
nada for about a month only, declared that no one who had
not been upon the spot, and witnessed the working of the
question, could form an opinion; and yet that said Mr. P.
Thomson had ventured to pronounce most decidedly upon
the whole question ! His lordship declared that he was at
a loss to know by what means he could have arrived at his
conclusion, and how he could have felt at liberty to spe:ik so
positively. The Bishop of Exeter afterwards moved for
such part of a despatch from Sir Peregrine Maitland to Mr.
Huskisson, of the 13th of December, 1827, as relates to the
clergy reserves in Canada; and also, copy of a despatch to
Lord Bathurst, referred to in the above-mentioned despatch,
containing the opinions of the legal advisers of the crown in
Canada on the right of the clergy of the Church of England
in that province to the said reserves.
Agreed to, with the exception of the opinions of the law
officers.—Adjourned.

INCREASE og TRAFFIC ON RAILWAYS.
We find, from a calculation made by an industrious and
able correspondent of the Railway Times, that according to
the published statements of traffic upon the London and Bir-
mingham Railway, the increase of gross receipts, as between
the first eleven weeks of 1839 and 1840, is £33,738, or 34 8-9
per cent. in favour of the present year. The increase upon
the Grand Junction during the present year is £11,013, or
161 per cent. ; and upon the Newcastle and Carlisle Rail-
way, £2,809, or 25 6-10 per cent.—a nice prospect for the
next dividends.

CHESTER AND CREWE RAILWAY AND THE

RUABON BRANCH.

The Bill for uniting the Chester and Crewe with the
Grand Junction Company passed the House of Commons on
the 26th inst., and we are informed that if passed by the
other House (of which no doubt is entertained) the consoli-
dation of the two companies will take place on the Ist July
next, after which period the proprietors of the Chester and
Crewe will participate in the dividends paid by the Grand
Junction. The Crewe line will be opened in August.

A valuable addition to this and the Chester and Birkenhead
railways will be afforded by the proposed branch to Ruabon,
for which, we are glad to find, from the requisite notice being
published in the London Gazette, an application to parlia-
ment will be made next session.

INTELLIGENCE FROM CHINA.

Canton papers to the 22d of February have been received
by the Queen Mab which arrived here on Saturday after-
noon. The principal feature of their contents is the fact of
an after of highet rank than the Kwang-thou-foo, called
the Taoutae, having been appointed by the Emperor, Pre-
sident of the Western district of the province of Macao, to
reside in that port, and manage public affairs, remaining
there "a year or two, until the foreigners shall be brought
to order." The functionary began his career with a threat-
ening proclamation. Captain Elliott had solicited the in-
terposition of the Portuguese Governor of Macao, to pro-
tect the lives and the properties of himself and his country-
men from the attacks of the Chinese. His excellency, who
was well inclined to assist, was afraid to do so openly, lest
his protection of the English should call down on the Por-
tuguese the vengeance of the Chinese Government. In this
very critical state of affairs, Captain Smith, the naval officer
in command on the station, had moved the Hyacinth into
the inner roads of Macao, with the intention of affording
every succour in his power to his countrymen, should the
Chinese carry into effect their threatened attack on the En-
glish residents. This bold step alarmed the Portuguese
Governor, who, having consulted the Senate on the point,
remonstrated with Captain Smith. on the subject. The
result was a correspondence between that officer and his
excellency, followed by the partial withdrawal of the Hya-
cinth. After the arrival of the Mor on the 15th of Feb-
ruary, the Hyacinth, it is stated, returned to her moorings
in the inner roads. Up to the 21st, the day on which the
Queen Mab sailed, the Chinese had not made the menaced
attack on Captain Elliott and the English residents at Macao,
where, the private accounts state, things remained much as
they had done for several weeks previous.
The Mor, which sailed from Plymouth on the 24th of
October, with despatches from the Government for Captain
Elliot, arrived at Latao on the 15th of February, after a pas-
sage of 113 days. On the 20th, Mr. Robertson, who left
London with despatches dated the 4th of November, and
proceeded overland to Aden, arrived in the Ariel.
