POLITICAL CHARACTRItaI

(From the Oxford Herald.)

ERILATA.—Two or three little blunders occurred in the
last sketch, which it may be well to rectify. Instead of being
printed half as prose and half as poetry, the lines at the com-
mencement ought to have stood thus :
" Oh ! come (if haply 'tis thy week
For looking pale) with paly cheek ;
Though more we love thy roseate days,
When the rich roue-pot pours its blaze
Full o'er thy face,' &c. &c.

Lord Palmerston was particularly horrifie
compositor had given him th

:d to find that the

waist of a giant

threatened, it is said, to annihilate our unfortu'uate printe;
for so foully libelling him, and he was only induced to
abandon his bloodthirsty intentions on a solemn promise that
every reparation should be immediately offered for th e un-
happy mistake. We have therefore to intimate that the
waist of Lord Palmerston is the size of the waist of a gnat,
and not of that of a giant. His Lordship is prepared to
make an affidavit to this effect, if it be necessary. For the
bitterest of states, &c., read the pettiest of states; and for
his speeches are mere ands, ands, ands, read words, word s
words.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Baltimore Pilot says: " Nineteen cases of small pox
were transferred from the ship Ellen Brooks, lately arrived
from Liverpool, at quarantine, to the hospital."
The amount of property destroyed by lire in New York

city, during the year ending 23d ult., is estimated by the
fire commissioners at 3,225,429 dollars. Number of fires,

IRON IN MAINE.—We learn from Dr. Jackson's last Re-
port on the Geology of Maine, that the most valuable and
extensiue iron mine discovered in Maine is on the Aroostook

FIRST RAILROAD Is BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.—The
Gleaner, published at Miramichi, May 26, gives an account
of the opening of the railroad from the Albion mines to South
Pictou. It is stated, that the delays which have been here-
tofore experienced in loading ships with coal, need not now
be apprehended, as they will henceforward be delivered from
the end of the railroad, on board of all vessels drawing 13 ft.
of water and under.

CROPS OF MAINE.—The Bangor (Me.) paper says that
the prospects in that region never were better for full crops
and an abundance of fruit than at present. Farmers say
that the season is at least three weeks earlier than usual, and
that they have never known a more active spirit in the culti-
vation of the soil.

COMMERCE OF PHILADELPHIA.—The number of arrivals
from foreign ports this season has not varied essentially from
those of the two preceding years. The coastwise arrivals,
however, have materially fallen off as compared with those
of 1839. This decrease is mainly attributable to the great
stagnation which has prevailed in that important staple of
Pennsylvania coal. We learn, however, that the demand is
now on the increase. There is at present a great scarcity of
vessels, with considerable freights offering, particularly to
Boston, and prices have advanced to 1 dollar 871 cents to 2
dollars per ton.
In 1838, from January Ist to May 31st inclusive, the coast-
wise arrivals amounted to 2755, and the foreign arrivals to
154, making a total of 2909 vessels.

In 1839:during the same period, the number of coastwise
vessels were 3235, and the foreign 175—total 3410.
This year the whole number of arrivals have been 3004, of
which 169 were from foreign ports.

MISCHLLANEOUS.

There is It chap in Philadelphia so short sighted that he
can't see to sleep without specks.
HORRORS OF INDECISION.—A judge down west was lately
so equally and strongly divided in opinion upon the question,
whether robbery was cheating or borrowing, that he fell in
two.

Trout are so plentiful in Granville, Massachusetts, that
while one man is fishing for them another is obliged to stand
by the hook, with a club, to prevent more than one from
biting at a time I—American paper.
Compositors in a printing-office are curious chaps. They
love bread and cheese, turkey, ham, veal, porter, julaps,
cigars, and in fact every thing good, except pie—they hate
that as they do the—lack of copy.

EXPLICIT DIRECTION. A gentleman lately travelling
through a certain village not many miles from Halifax, in-
quired of a person whom he met in the street " the nearest
way to Littlebro," and received the following simple answer,
" Yo mun goe as far as yo can see, and then turn to yor left."

LETTING OUT.—An Irish tailor, making a gentleman's
coat and vest too small, was ordered to take them home and
let them oat. Some days after, the gentleman inquiring for
his garments, was told by the ninth part of an Irishman, that
the clothes happening to fit a countryman of his, he had let
them out at a shilling per week.

It has been stated lately that there are still hopes that an

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 2.
There has not been. K) much doing to.day as there has been the
last few days ; the sales are 4500 bags, including 700 on spec ula-
tion and 300 for export : the market steady, but not so buoyant.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 30.
Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat and Flour from Foreign
ports have again been pretty considerable; but of all Grain, Flour,
arid Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastwise, they have been very
trivial.

The weather, during the past week, has continued cold and rainy,
of course unfavourabl for hay harvest, now generally commenced ;
and from reports and information received from those in whose
opinion and judgment on this subject great confidence is placed,
the crops of this article, with some partial exceptions, will prove
very light, even with the best weather henceforward; and the
crops of all kinds of 'Grain, of course with partial exceptions, are
reported as likely to prove very moderate averages, as to quantity,
generally over this and the neighbouring counties for 100 miles
around us, attributed in some degree to injury done by the long
continuance of drought previous to the first week in May, then too
leniently estimated, and to the deficiency of sunshine almost ever
since.

" On the evening of the 25th general Concha beat Bairns-

'ER OF THE INTERIOR

" Balmaseda entered France yCsterday evening by Jarran,
with 300 Men. We are assured that 2000 men will enter also
by the same pass to-night or to-morrow."

This intelligence closes the career of Balmaseda, and puts
an end to all hope of again exciting the Basque provinces in
favour of Don Carlos. We are informed at the same time
that Cabrera is about to follow a similar course. His inten-
tion, as we are informed, is to punish all the persons engaged
in the conspiracy against the Count d'Espagne, next to de-
molish the fortifications of Berge, and then, sweeping the
country to the frontier, seek an asylum in France.
General Segarra, lately at the head of the Catalonian Car-
lists, and whose submission to the Queen we a few days since
noticed, has issued a proclamation, calling on his former
companions to lay down their arms and complete the pacifi-
cation of Spain. He says, that since the submission of the
Basque provinces, the defeats in Aragon, the entrance into
Catalonia of the numerous and invincible troops of Espartero,
and the retirement of Don Carlos into France, the civil•war
can no longer serve any other object than to satisfy individual
revenge and perpetuate intestine discord. He says, that the
cause of Don Carlos is lost without the chance of amendment,
and, therefore, he will not form one of those men who wish
still to deluge the country with blood. He then calls on all
who love Spain, to take advantage of the Queen's journey
into Catalonia, and submit themselves at once to her mercy,
as they may calculate on receiving the same benevolent re-
ception which he has had the good fortune to experience. It
is probable that as soon as Cabrera leaves Catalonia the
people will be to happy to abandon a falling cause and to lay
down their arms.

UNITED STATES

The following are the most important extracts.from the
New York papers brought by the George Washington and
the United States:
THE MONEY MARKET.
(From the United States Herald of June 13.)

The rate of foreign exchanges continue; to fall, indicating
an increased balance in favour of this country ; and, at the
same time the rates on the extreme south are increasing, by
reason of the. greater depreciation of southern funds. The
banks ask such high rates for northern bills, that in many
instances persons prefer to remit certificates of deposite, in
the hope that they will be able to dispose of them here to
better advantage. The agents of the banks then buy up these
bills at an increased discount. This is not the season of the
year that southern bills are in demand. A large proportion
of the crop has gone forward, and dealers and residents are
travelling north for pleasure and business; consequently
northern funds are usually at this season in demand at the
south, and southern funds do not begin to be in demand at
the north until October and November, when the new crop
comes forward. The banks in the fall and winter discount
the bills of the merchants and planters, and, if they pay
specie, when the demand for northern funds
.springs up,
their bills are returned upon them for northern funds if they
have it, or for specie to remit if the premium on exchange is
higher than the expense and trouble of transporting specie
amounts to. This year the bank suspended " to relieve the

people."
NEW YORK MARKETS.—SATURDAY, JUNE 13

ASHES.--An animated demand for both descriptions has
continued, and the sales of the week extend to about 1100 bbls.
pots, at 44 cents. and 550 bbls. pearls at 51 to 51 cents.
CorroN.—The advices tier Unicorn, via Boston, have not
had any effect upon the New York markets. The transac-
tions during the week have been to a moderate extent, with-
out any material alteration in rates. About 5560 bales have
been sold. Uplands, ordinary to middling may be quoted at
6-1 to 9 cents ; fair to good 9191 to 10 cents per lb. ; Tennes-
see and Alabama, 7 to 91 cents; and fine Mobile, Louisiana,
&c., 10, 111, and 121 cents per lb.
SALT.—A considerable quantity of Liverpool has been
shipped from first hands to southern ports. Sales have been
made here to the extent of 11,000 sacks, at from I dlr. 45
cents to 1 dlr. 50 cents. There is a fair supply of every
description, with a very moderate demand.
FREIGHTS.—The Liverpool packets to the Ist proximo are
already engaged at our quotations. To Havre there is less
freight offering, and a small decline in rates will probably be
submitted to.

SECOND EDffION.

Standard Office, Three o'clock

I LIVERPOOL CORN EXC _____._____
HANGE,—Tms DAY.

The late cold winds have been succeeded by a more
temperate atmosphere since the close of last week ; but
the hay harvest, being still seriously interrupted by frequent
showers, an unclouded sky is much wanted to bring it to a
favourable conclusion ; meanwhile the unsettled appearance
of the weather has given a greater degree of buoyancy to the
corn trade here, and during the last two'days the proceed-
ings in free Wheat and Flour have been to a fair amount,
with a tendency in each rather to improve in value—the trade,

at the same time, in most other respects, assuming a firmer

aspect

Upon Foreign Beans the duty is reduced to 25., on Pease

to ss. per quarter, and remains unvaried upon all other

produce

Beyond 300 quarters of Irish and 10 quarters of English,
we have received no wheat into this port, and very little grain
of other kinds since Tuesday last. Of Flour, however, 9765
barrels have arrived within this day or two from the United
States and Canada ; and from the former a few more vessels
are up this morning, but not yet entered.

The improved aspect of the Wheat trade, noticed in the
preceding remarks, has been fully confirmed to-day, by a
good steady demand from town and country millers, and an
advance of 2d. to 3d per 701bs. upon all fresh descriptions of
foreign Wheats ; whilst the lower runs of foreign, and the
general qualities of English as well as Irish, realized ld. to
2d. over the rates.last noted.

In Flour, the transactions this morning were upon a more
limited scale than previously, but the stock of free being
considerably reduced of late, such obtained an amendment of
6d per barrel : and bonded parcels, of which the samples are
generally withdrawn, would bring 6d, and for export is above
our last quotations.

Hawley, near Bagshol,l3l7l Jan. 1840.
SlR,—Guasideriug that the public would be greatly bene-
fited by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I
have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I
herewith send the particulars of my case, and the Medical
Certificate, by which I was invalided.. I was first attacked
with Rheumatic Gout in 1826, from which period to 1833 I
was under the treatment of the lati Drs. Rod, Horner, and
Jacobs, as well as by the present Dr. Davis, all of Hamp-
stead. From 1833 to 1838 I was at St. John's, Newfound-
land, doing duty as a Subaltern in the Royal Veteran Com-
panies, where I suffered moat severely, and was under the
care of Surgeon Hewson, R. V. C., Staff Assistant-Surgeon
Ferguson, and Mr. Shea, private practitioner there, without
being able to prevent the most violent fits of the gout three
or four times annually, which becoming so bad caused the
Garrison Order for the Medical Board, as before named.—
About the middle of last February and the whole of March
my sufferings were dreadful; in fact, I was unable to move
without being carried ; when Major Birch, of Crondale, near
Farnham, a Magistrate of this county, kindly commisserating
my situation, called on me for the purpose of taking my affi-
davit, that I might receive my half-pay ; and seeing me in so
miserable a state, advised me to try Blair's Gout and Rheu-
matic Pills, saying, although not gouty himself, he knew
several who had derived benefit from them. I had previously
been advised by a then neighbour, Mr. Fedgent, of Alder-
shot, to try them, but I declined until the Major recom-
mended them.—l commenced by taking them according to
the directions; and, after taking six pills, found a cessation
of all pain, and the remainder of the bed effectually settled
that fit. I have since had several attacks, but as soon ai I
feel the least sensation of the disease I take the pills, which
have at once removed all symptoms.—l may also mention
that the chalk which had formed on my ears has disappeared,
and where it formed in my fingers is decreasing. I have
ceased to have those very weakening perspirations to which I
was subject before trying the pills.

SONGS OF THE HEART,

No. lI.—THE PAST.

BY T. J. OUSELEY.

(For the Liverpool Standard.)

The past—yes, the past is a beautiful dream,
On whose bright floating fancies sweet feeling will dwell,
As we bask in the light of the murmuring stream,
Which reflects on the mind in fond Memory's cell ;
And the shadows that pass, 'mid the beautiful flowers,
Are hallowed breathings that do not o'ercast ;
Like a light summer cloud, gently veiling the flowers,
We smile at the present—we Mink on the PAST !

We see those we've loved, with a soothing of sorrow,
The home and the hearth, the dear blessing and prayer ;
Such feelings as these bring no joy for the morrow—
They're too blissful and precious the future to share.
The hours of mirth, and the moments of sadness,
When laughter was joy, e'en though grief came at last ;
The silver-bell voice—how it trilled with heart gladness ;
We smile at the present—we think on the PAST !

The voyager looks tow'rds the land of his birth.
O'er the far distant waters ; and Fancy will show
The home of his kindred—the loved spot of earth—
Whilst, in quiet, the tears of affection will flow ;
So on life's desert ocean we fondly recall
Sweet memories, nor heed the black, threatening blast ;
Those star-guides of comfort, when dangers appal :
We smile at the present—we think on the PAST !

THE ANTI-CHURCH EXTENSION MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SlR,—Having taken the trouble to analyze the incongruous
mass forming the signatures to the requisition for the late
Anti-Church Extension Meeting at the Music Hall, I find
the component parts to be described thus :-
6 Roman Catholic Priests
16 Roman Catholics
2 Socinian Preachers
17 Socinians
1 Independent Preacher (i. e., dependant on the liking of
his congregation)
12 Independents
2 Quakers
1 Baptist Preacher
6 Baptists
4 Scotch Secession
4 Religion not yet discovered.
71

Here we have Papists turned Voluntaries—lndependents,
those who profess to be actuated by more holiness than others,
endeavouring to stop the means of grace for the people—dog
in the manger work with a vengeance—men professing to be
religious, acknowledging the spiritual destitution of the peo-
ple, and acknowledging that they cannot supply these wants,
and yet working heart and hand with Papists, Socinians,
Quakers, aye and Socialists, to prevent the Church of Eng-
land doing it. It should be more widely known what a frac-
tion these noisy declaimers form of our population.
The population of England and Wales is now 15,500,000,
and of this the orthodox dissenters of the three denomina-
tions, by their own most favourable showing, form but
1,000;000. I beg to remain, &c. J. C.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-03-24

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—The cloth markets, on Saturday and Tuesday,
were certainly an improvement upon those of the preceding
week ; but the prices were so low that the sellers may be said
to have made no profit. Most of the mills are going short
time, and hundreds of persons are out of work. In the
warehouses, in the course of the present week, considerable
business has been done. Wool is firmly held ; but the ten-
dency is downward. The result of the sales at Liverpool,
yesterday, have not reached us in time for publication this
week. A correspondent acquainted with the locality and the
trade, writes that no material decline was anticipated.
BRADFORD MARKET.—There was not the last symptom of
improvement in this market on Thursday last. The business
done in every department was very limited. The prices of
stuff goods tend downwards, and few buyers. Wool of al-
hTi, c br

.
WAKEFIELD ni no
hitherto no favourable change in the demand for wools,
either combing or clothing; but, in consequence of the firm
ness of farmers, and the lightness of stocks at market on
sale, prices are without variation.
In the MARKET FOR METALS no change in value has oc-
curred, and there have been no public sales of East India tin.
British Iron is accumulating in stock, and the quotation of
£9 for bar is with difficulty maintained.
BIRMINGIIAM•—We are sorry to learn, that the state of
trade in this town still continues most deplorable. • Our de-
pendence is almost exclusively on the American market ;
and from America come neither
money nor orders ; or if the
latter do come, they are such as very few will or can execute.
The complaints of the manufacturers and merchants are uni-
versal. The men are very badly off ; and we fear the sad,
system of pawning their little property, to preserve them
e as it was two
from starving, is now going on as extensively
years ago. The smaller dealers continue to credit, as they
always do in such cases, and will are checked
do so until they
by the wholesale dealers, which they must be ere long. But
for this it is feared there would have been a much greater call
upon the funds of the parish.—Birminghass Advertiser.
