THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY,

Idemand.—After some discussion the motion was agreed
to by a majority of 173 to 141.

HULL ELECTIO:S"

Mr. LABOUCHERE gave notice that on the sth of April
he should move an address to the crow❑ for a commission
of inquiry respecting corrupt election practices at Hull.—
A similar notice was given by Mr. Gaskell, in respect to
Clitheroe ; by Mr. V. Smith, in respect to Cambridge ;
and by Lord R. Grosvenor, in respect to Maldon.

THE BUDGET.
Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that on the 4th of April
he should explain the intentions of the government on
the subject of education in England and Wales, and on
the same day the Chancellor of the Exchequer would give
notice when he intended to make the financial statement.
An early day would be selected for that:purpose.

THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT OF LOMBARDY.
In answer to Mr. Blackett, Lord J. RUSSELL entered
into some explanation of the state of affairs in Lombardy,
and of the proceedings taken by the Austrian Government
in consequence of the recent insurrection at Milan to-
wards Sardinian subjects. The property of numbers of
these persons had been sequestrated, although they had
taken no part in the disturbances. The Sardinian Govern-
ment had requested the British Government to interfere
with the Austrian Government on behalf of these persons ;
and, in consequence of this request Lord Clarendon had
written a strong letter to our Minister at Vienna on the
subject, but in the mean time he understood that the Aus-
trian Government had stated their intention to remove
the sequestrations from the parties who, upon inquiry,
were found innocent.

LIBERATION OF THE MADIAI

Lord J. RUSSELL said he would take that opportunity of
making a statement on another subject, which had ex-
cited great interest in this country. A telegraphic message
had that day been received conveying the intelligence that
the Grand Duke of Tuscany had liberated the Madiai, and
that they had embarked at Leghorn.

CANADA CLERGY RESERVES.
The House went into committee upon the Canada
Clergy Reserves Bill.—Sir J. PAKINGTON said that, as he
understood that it was the intention of Government to
make alterations in the bill, he should postpone his opinion
until he saw the bill in its altered shape. He proceeded
to point out the discrepancy in the statements of Sir
William Molesworth and the Chancellor of the Exchequer
expressed on a previous occasion, as to certain important
parts of the measure.—After a long and uninteresting dis-
cussion, the first and second clauses were then agreed to.
Lord J. RUSSELL proposed the omission of the third and
last clause, which withdrew the collateral guarantee of the
consolidated fund for payment of certain sums to the
churches of England and Scotland, provided for by a pre-
vious act. He urged that it would be advisable to ascer-
tain whether the Canadian authorities were willing to take
the guarantee upon themselves.—After some discussion,
the withdrawal of the clause was carried by 178 to 110.

MERCANTILE SHIPPING

On the motion of Mr. CARDWELL, certain resolutions
on the subject of mercantile shipping were passed in com-
mittee, and leave was given to bring in a bill founded
thereon.—The bill was subsequently brought in and read
a first time.

The third reading of the Jew Bill was adjourned until
the 11th of April.
The House adjourned until the 4th of April.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET,

FRIDAY, MARCH 18

The arrivals of Beef continue large, and our stock is now
considerably in excess, hence the dealers buy sparingly, antici-
pating a decline in prices ; the sales this week are to a moderate
extent only, and mostly at a reduction on former rates. The
unexpected arrival of a considerable quantity of American
Pork has imparted a dull feeling to the market, and prices
have for the present rather a downward tendency. There is
now a small assortment of American Bacon, which goes off
slowly. The advanced prices demanded for Lard, together
with the increased arrivals, have checked the disposition to
buy, and the sales for the week are only to a retail extent.
Cheese meets a ready sale, at full prices.

MONDAY, MARCH 21

During the past week, Butter of every description met with a
good demand, at full rates; the scarcity of fine fresh qualities
has induced holders to advance from 2s to 3s per cwt. on last
week's prices, which is readily maintained. New is in request;
the small quantity that has arrived is of poor quality, 96s to
100 s is asked for it. Old Butter will be nearly cleared off by
this week's sales :—Belfast, 86s to 90s; Waterford, 85s to 90s;
Clonmel and Wexford, 86s to 93s ; Banbridge and Coleraine,
84s to 87s; Limerick, 82s to 84s; Sligo, SOs to 86s; and pickled
Cork seconds, 88s per cwt., landed. Imported from Ireland
from the 14th to the 19th instant, both inclusive :-1,628 firkins,
221 kegs, 411 crocks, 241 boxes, 302 barrels Butter; 124 bales
Bacon; 21 hogsheads S tierces Hams; and 113 kegs Lard.
