THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1853.

Mr. J. D. Fowles, Mr. Glyn, Mr. Dent, Mr. Barclay,
and Mr. Masterman. Sir J. Duke having read an address
expressive of the cordial feeling which those who signed
it entertained towards the people of France, and their de-
sire to maintain peace between the two nations,
His Majesty replied in English s—" I am extremely
touched by this manifestation. It confirms me in the
confidence with which the good sense of the English
nation has always inspired me. During the long stay I
made in England I admired the liberty she enjoys,—
thanks to the perfection of her institutions. Nevertheless,
at one period last year I feared that public opinion was
misled with regard to the true state of France and her
sentiments towards Great Britain. But the good faith of
a great people cannot be long deceived, and the step
which you now take is a striking proof of this. Ever
since I have held power my efforts constantly tend to de-
velope the prosperity of France. I know her interests ;
they are not different from those of all other civilised
nations. Like you, I desire peace ; and, to make it
sure, I wish, like you, to draw closer the bonds which
unite our two countries.

within a few miles of New York, in the short space of 84
days—the quickest passage ever made. Her cargo of silks'
teas, &c., is said to be worth upwards of 4200,000.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.

By the British and North American Royal Mail Steam
Ship Africa, Captain Harrison, which arrived on Sunday
afternoon, we have advices from New York to 23rd ult.
The Africa sailed from New York at 2 18, p.m., on the
23rd, and at 3 56, p.m. on the 24th, she passed and ex-
changed signals with the steam ship Asia, hence, 242
miles from Sandy Hook. On the 25th, at 1 50, a.m., she
passed a screw steamer steering west. On the 29th, at
7 30, p.m., exchanged night signals with a steamer steer-
ing west, supposed to be the United States Mail Steamer
Arctic, hence for New York. On the 2nd instant, at
2 30, p.m., the Africa passed Cape Clear ; and at 5 26,
p.m., the Old Head of Kinsale. On Sunday, at 8, a.m.,
she was abreast Holyhead ; and, at 3 20, p.m. passed the
Rock Lighthouse, having made the run in 10 days, 19
hours, and 17 minutes.
The Africa brought the following sixty-three passengers :
PASSENGERS.-Mr. Cochrane and son, Mr. Hertz, Mr.
W. Moir, Mr. T. Appleton, Mr. J. B. Ulm, Mr. D.
Stirratt and lady, Mr. Dalesme and lady, Mr. Blanken-
stein and lady, Mr. Ballin, Mr. C. Angrave, Mr. W. V.

Mr. L. Brough, Mr. J. De Tisse, Mr. J. Dixon, Mr. W.
Dwight, jun., Captain E. Cook, Mr. Wallace Adair, Mr.
Belpamne, Mr. James Bacon, Mr. Satterthwaite, Mr. W.
H. Guion, Mr. G. Wright, jun., and child, Mr. Z. Meyer,
Mr. J. Parkinson, Mr. L. Rosenfeld. jun., Mr. R. Schultz,
Master A. Turnbull, Mr. Dela Comb, Mr. T. Glen, Mr.
R. T. Gregory, Mr. J. De Gomez, Mr. Birrosse, Mr.
Montinhe, Mr. R. F. Kelles, Mr. Stobart, Mr. G. Blaaue,
Mr. J. M. Binnon, Mr. G. Sardinech, Mr. G. Bigo, Mr..
C. Robinson, Mr. N, Peri, Mr. A. Lutz, Mr. Moncasson,
Mr. Rodow, Mr. Moncasson, jun., Mr. G. Youngson,
Mr. J. A. Allen, Mr. W. King and wife, Mr. J. W.
Smith, Mrs. P. Gourdine, Mr. J. L. Nash, Mr. C. Leigh-
ton, Mr. Nickel, Mr. Vicente, and Mr. Kent.
The United States Mail Steam Ship Atlantic, West,
commander, which sailed from the Mersey on the 9th
ult., arrived at New York on the 22nd.

On Tuesday the Emperor granted an audience to a
deputation of the English company who propose joining
the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean. The ambassadors
from Peru and New Granada joined the deputation, and
were also received by the Emperor, who assured them
that he would give them all the support which their noble
effort so richly deserved.

The Pontiff's visit seems to excite interest and curiosity
n proportion to the mystery which envelopes it. That
preparations of various kinds for the coronation are in
progress is no longer doubtful, any more than that it will
take place probably in May, should the Pope either
definitively refuse his presence, or consent to come at
that season.

SPAIN.—The labours of Lord Howden in the anti.
slavery cause are said to have been crowned with success
at Madrid, the Spanish Government having agreed to
emancipate the slaves of Cuba. All who have served five
years are to be liberated at the end of the present year,
and the rest as their term of apprenticeship expires. It
is supposed that a liberated slave population will hardly
be a desirable acquisition for the United States.
All senators holding public office have been deprived
that voted the other day in support of the recal of General
Narvaez.

The screw steamer City of Glasgow, Wylie, commander,
from this port, arrived at Philadelphia on the 22nd ult.
The President still continued at Washington. None of
the foreign appointments had been decided upon ; and it
was thought the nominations would be postponed till
after the adjournment of the Senate. Mr. Buchanan is
still spoken of for England, Mr. H. A. Wise for France,
and Mr. Soule for Spain.

DENMARK.—The Prince of Schleswig-Holstein Noer,
writing from London, has addressed a letter to the Spanish
Diet, in which he repudiates being a consenting party to
the document by which his brother the Duke of Schleswig-
Holstein Augustenburg surrenders for himself and his
family all claims of succession to the throne of Denmark.

The ship Shand, Of Liverpool, had arrived at Boston,
from Calcutta, with a portion of the passengers and crew
of the ship Golden Light, from New York for San Fran-
cisco. On the night of the 22nd February, in lat, 22 23
N., lon. 47 4.5 W., the Golden Light was struck by light-
ning. All hands were driven to the boats, numbering
(passengers and crew) thirty-five persons. The ship was
afterwards enveloped in flames, and burnt to the water's
edge. The boats, five in number, were abundantly sup-
plied with provisions and water : one of them was missing
on the morning of the 24th, and another parted company
on the fourth night after leaving the ship. After five
days' exposure, the remaining three boats were picked up
by the ship Shand, with fifteen persons in them.
The crew of the American ship Washington, twenty-six
in number, loading for Liverpool, were committed for
trial, on a charge of mutiny, before the United States
Circuit Court, at Mobile, on the 9th ultimo.
The bacon-dealers of Baltimore are reported to have
lost heavily by the decline in provisions. Several failures
had occurred, the total liabilities being about .6250,000.
The navigation of the North River and Lake Erie had
been resumed. Despatches from various points on Lake
Erie announce the ice to be disappearing. Steamers had
already resumed their trips between Cleveland, Ashtabula,
Erie, &c.

TURKEY.—lntelligence from Constantinople to the
15th ult. states that the armaments in the south of
Russia continued. Stores for an army of 150,000 men
are said to be collecting at Odessa. Several Russian
officers have left Constantinople for the Archipelago, for
Greece, and Montenegro. The Semaphore of Marseilles
states that Russia demands not oily the revocation of the
firman on the Holy Places, but also that the Greek Patri-
arch shall receive his investiture at St. Petersburgh, and
that the Greek Church and clergy shall be placed under the
immediate protection of the Czar.

RUSSlA.—Letters from St. Petersburg]] mention a
disastrous fire at the port of Cronstadt. All the principal
timber wharfs had been burnt, and the loss is estimated
at between 500,000 and 600,000 silver roubles. It
happened that the quantity remaining in stock in con-
sequence of the want of shipping last autumn was
unusually large, and hence the evil is more serious than
would otherwise have been the case. Most of the houses
engaged in the deal trade, Russian as well as foreign,
will, it is said, be sufferers, although many of the latter
are protected by insurances. The quantity of deals
destroyed is supposed to be 50,000 dozens of the first sort,
besides the wood of minor dealers, and a very large stock
of lathwood. These advices are to the 22d inst., and the
rate of exchange at that date wai again rather mole
favourable for England, the quotation being 38 7-16 d.
Intelligence has also been received of a fire at Narva,
in the Gulf of Finland, by which about 100,000 roubles
of Russian produce is said to have been destroyed.

MEXlCo.—Advices from the city of Mexico are to the
3rd ultimo, and from Vera Crux to the 6th. In Merida,
the capital of Yucatan, revolutionary movements are in
full force. Of the twenty-three states and districts into
which the republics are divided, seventeen have voted for
the presidency of Santa Anna, and it is believed. with
some reason, that the six which fell back will follow the
example of the rest.
CcsA.—We have advices from Havana to the 13th ult.
A large number of European vessels were in the harbour,
awaiting cargoes. There was no alteration to report in
the markets. Two or three cargoes of slaves had been
recently imported into Havana. and were being sold with-
out much secrecy. The British consul-general had directed
a communication to the authorities, but the advices do
not state whether he had received an answer. _

Despatches received from Poland mention that there
is great activity at present in the Russian army. All
soldiers on furlough have received orders to join their
respective regiments. The Russian fleet in the Black
Sea, composed of forty-four vessels, has been placed under
the command of the Grand Duke Constantine.

MOROCCO.—lntelligence has been received at Madrid
of the deplorable state of the Emperor's health. His
death, it is feared, will be the signal for a terrible crisis.

ST. DOMINGO : we have-advices to the Ist ult. The
yellow fever had entirely disappeared. The weather was
very fine, and coffee was beginning to come in in large
quantities, which bad caused a good demand for European
vessels.

WEST INDIES.—By the Royal Mail steam-ship La
Plata, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday, we
have advises from Vera Cruz to the Bth ; Tampico, 6th ;
Havana, 13th ; Jamaica, 13th ; Demerara, 11th ; Trinidad,
11th ; Barbadoes, 13th ; Chagres, 10th ; and St. Thomas,
20th. She brings specie value $914,569.
The Royal Mail steamer Trent arrived at St. Thomas
on the 17th of March, having on board General Santa
Anna and suite. He was about to proceed to Vgra Cruz
by the next British mail steamer.
The Jamaica House of Assembly had sanctioned the
abolition of tonnage-dues, with the exception of 3d. per
ton, retained as a lighthouse tax. The produce market
was quiet, without being firm, especially as regards sugar
and rum. There was no pimento at market, and coffee
came in slowly. The import markets were heavy. The
island was healthy. In St. Lucia the weather bad been
unsettled, and a good deal of rain had fallen. Two smart
shocks of an; earthquake had been, experienced. The
island was healthy. The sugar crop had fairly commen-
ced, but labour was scarce. Gold was reported to have
been discovered on the windward side of the island of St.
Lucia. The yellow fever had abated at St. Vincent: at
Tobago, also, the scourge was disappearing. Barbados
papers contain no news. A gale of wind had done some
damage to several plantations in the Christ Church dis-
trict. From British Guiana our accounts are to the 10th
ult. The weather had been very dry, and was likely to
continue so, but the crops do not appear to suffer ma-
terially. An extraordinary plague has, however, made
its appearance in swarms of rats, which were doing an
immense amount of injury to the standing canes. Pro-
visions of every kind were scarce and dear. The fever
had disappeared on shore, but still lingered amongst the
shipping.

COMMERCIAL,

NEW YORE, March 23

MONEY MAREET.—The transactions in the stock mar-
ket hay been small, and prices generally have exhibited a
downward tendency, without, however, material decline in
any descriptions.
Money continued in demand at 8 to I'o per cent. for
first class, and 11 to 15 per cent. for second class, mer-
cantile paper. Money on call in request at 7 per cent.
Foreign Exchange, dull. Bills on London sold at 108
to 1081 ; Bankers Bills, 109 to 109*; Paris, 5.164 to
5,181; Amsterdam, 40,1 to 401; Bremen, n to ;
Hamburgh, 36 to 361; Frankfort, 401 to 401.
CormN.—(Frona W. P. Wright's Circular of March
23)—During the whole of last week an active demand
was experienced in this market the daily sales were large
at improving prices, until at the close it was necessary
to advance quotations of last steamer half-a-cent per lb.
On Monday the advices per Canada were received. which
were less unfavourable than had been expeoted. causing
holders to maintain the position as to prices, and thereby
limiting somewhat the business. Yesterday the sales
were again large, and prices firm and well sustained at
the quotations given annexed. The total• sales since the
14th instant to last evening amount to 25,000 bales, of
which the greater portion has been on speculation, and
a fair share for export to Great Britain, France, and the
Continent of Europe. The southern markets have ad-
vanced, and large sales have taken place in each of the
four leading shipping ports.
The receipts at the ports for the week- under review
have been 76,000 bales, against 120,000 bales in the cor-
responding week last season ; and the excess, which, a
week ago, was 521,000 bales, is now reduced to 477,000
bales. Next week a further reduction of about 40,000
bales will occur ; nor is it now at all improbable that the
excess will continue to decrease, not, however, to the
same weekly extent during the whole of April. The stock
on hand is very heavy, amounting to 800,000 bales,
which does not now include about 20,000 bales recently
destroyed in New Orleans.
. .

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—A mail, not only without
fresh hostilities, but with promise of a reduction of forces,
induces belief that we do begin to see something like
peace dawning on Caffreland. By the Calcutta screw
steam-ship, whose praise for sea worthiness, as proved
in a hurricane encountered on her way home, is in the
mouths of all her passengers—a fact to be noted after
recent occurrences—brings news to the 22d of Feb., that
General Cathcart has closed accounts with Mosesh so as
to leave no point to raise a wrangle upon, and that
Sandilli had abandoned his hopeless contest with the
British power, and, agreeably to the requirements of the
Governor, retired from Caffraria. He announced the
fact, acknowledging his defeat, and signified submission.
By the last advices he was beyond the Kei, together with
Macomo, Ante, and Tola, so that the Caffre war to all
appearance was closed. The Governor, on Feb. 14, pro-
claimed that peace and amity" had been restored be-
tween Her Majesty and her faithful friend Kreili, who on
his part promises to be true and faithful to all his engage.
ments, and to regard the rivers Indwe and Kei as the
boundary between Her Majesty's territories and his own.
A less satisfactory announcement, though perhaps a
necessary one, is that General Cathcart was making pre-
parations for holding the Amatolas as a settlement, with
military posts in strong positions, within the distance of
a mile, besides offering to resident settlers allotments of
arable ground on the condition of residence and readiness
to act with the military for the general defence. This
involves the exclusion of natives and Caffres, and the
maintenance of a considerable and watchful force among
the mountains. Settlers are to be reimbursed should the
Home Government disapprove of the project. Reductions
in the various forces hitherto engaged were immediately
to take place. The following corps, &c., were to be dis-
continued at the end of February :—The Albany Rangers ;
the Ist and 2d European Levy, with its officers ; the
Shiloh Fingo Levy and its officers ; the junior captain and
junior subaltern of the Ist European Corps ; the command,
pay, and allowances to Captain Stevenson as commanding
the Mancazana district; and the Garrison Sergeant-
Major at Whittlesea.

The following is a statement of the movement in cotton since
the Ist of September last, as compared with the previous-three
years:— 1853 1853 1851 1850

crease to France, 67,000 bales. Total increase in exports,
212,000 bales.
BREADSTUFFS.—The Flour market has been in a very
depressed condition since the 14th instant, under the
combined influence of the discouraging advices from
Edgland, and the prospect of early supplies from the
interior. The decline in prices amounts to ISc. to 25c.
per barrel on Western Canal and Ohio. The market,
however, closes firm, with an increasing demand for ship-
ment.

PuovistoNs.—The market for all descriptions is rather
dull.

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT BRITAIN FROM
AUSTRALIA,

The delay in the appearance of the Great Britain steam-
ship in the Mersey has for more than a fortnight been
the theme of general conversation in Liverpool, and the
source of many heartfelt regrets. All who have taken an
interest in the character and reputation of that fine vessel
—and that means almost everybody in this community—
felt that her non-appearance was a calamity to the port.
In news-room, on 'Change, in the workshop, and the
street, the inquiries respecting her whereabouts were in-
cessant. Her run to and from New York was so success-
ful, that, when she sailed in August last, it was believed
she would have made the trip to Australia in less
time than it had ever been performed, and the thousands
which lined the quays to witness her departure afforded
the best proof of the deep interest with which she
was regarded. And, though that anticipation has
not been realised, the interest felt in the Great Britain
seems in no wise to have abated ; and when, on Saturday
morning, a telegraphic message arrived with the intelli-
gence that she was off Holyhead, the news ran through
the town like wildfire. The approaching vessel became
the theme of every conversation, and nearly every one
seemed inclined to believe that some reason must exist,
why the fastest screw-steamer that ever crossed the At-
lantic had been so unsuccessful in her first voyage to the
southern hemisphere. In the forenoon a tug-steamer
proceeded down the river, and brought off the mails. As
the afternoon advanced, thousands of anxious spectators
, lined the shore ; and, animated as the sight usually
is on the landing-stage and the pier-head, the eager
throngs who crowded both were such as we only wit-
ness on very extraordinary occasions. When, about
four o'clock, the noble vessel was seen entering the
Mersey, the utmost enthusiasm prevailed among the
assembled thousands, whose private speculations on the
steamer, her gold-laden passengers, and her protracted
journey it was highly interesting to note. From the state
of the tide, the Great Britain had to wait for several
hours at the bar for water. Her mails and despatches
were, however, sent on, withdut delay, in a steam-tug,
and arrived at the post-office shortly after three o'clock.
When the Great Britain arrived off Crosby Lightship, she
met the royal mail steamer America, hence for Boston.
Salutes were fired from each steamer, and the passengers
and crews of both vessels assembled on deck, and gave
several rounds of hearty cheers. On it becoming known
throughout the town that the Great Britain had been sig-
nalized, thousands of persons wended their way to the
pierheads in order to secure places from which to obtain a
view of her massive proportions as she steamed up the
river. The scene that presented itself when the Great
Britain rounded the Rock Lighthouse almost beggars
description ; the pierheads, &c., as far as the eye could
reach, being literally packed with human beings. Salute
after salute, and cheer after cheer,- rent the air, as she
slowly steamed up the river. When she turned round for
the purpose of proceeding to dock, the rush along the
streets leading to the Wellington Dock was terrific; but,
on the arrival of the multitude there, they were doomed
to disappointment, as there was not sufficient water to
allow her to enter. She again turned round, and proceeded
up the river to the Sloyne. When passing the U.S. steamer
Pacific, the ensign of that vessel was dipped, and a salute
fired ; the compliment being acknowledged and returned
by the Great Britain.

The Great Britain brought a very large mail. It con-
sisted of 19,500 letters, and upwards of 25,000'n-ewspapers.
She has brought 260 passengers, and gold dust of the
value of between £500,000 and £600,000 sterling on
freight. There is also a large amount of gold dust in the
hands of passengers, several of whom have nuggets of very
large size and great value in their possession. The pas-
sengers, without an exception, express themselves perfectly
satisfied with the arrangements made for their comfort in
every department. There was one birth and one death on
the passage. The death occurred on the 4th of February,
the name of the person being Mr. Matthew Math, of
Truro, Cornwall. The birth took place on the 25th of
March, the lady who had thus added to the number of
souls on board being the wife of Mr. William Cross Zuilli,
a passenger from Melbourne.

The Creat Britain sailed from Sydney on her homeward
passage on the 20th December, and arrived at Melbourne
on the 25th. After taking on board a large amount of gold
dust, a great proportion of her passengers, and some cargo,
she proceeded to Hobson's Bay to await a favourable
opportunity for sailing, and finally left the Australian
shores on the 6th of January. During her run towarda
the Cape she experienced moderate and light winds. Oh
the 6th of February she anchored in Algoa Bay, and
remained upwards of two:days. At eight p.m., on the Bth,
she left Algoa Bay, and, on the 10th, anchored in Shnon's
Bay. There being but a small supply of coal at Simon's
Bay, and very poor facilities for placing it on board vessels,
her stay there was necessarily long, the whole detention
being upwards of eight days. On the 19th she arrived in
Table Bay. and after embarking the mails, passengers, &c.,
again proceeded to sea at four a.m. on the 20th February.
In consequence of the very light and unfavourable winds
experienced, the sails were of little or no use, and her
steam power alone had mainly to be relied upon. In less
than a month the coals again ran short, and she had to
bear up for the island of St. Michael, where she arrived on
the 19th of March. Here what fuel could be procured
was taken on board, together with a large quantity of
oranges on freight. She left St. Michael on the night of
the 21st, and on the 28th put into Vigo, in Spain. After
a detention of two days she finally started for this port on
the 20th, and arrived off the Bell Buoy at noon on
Saturday, being the quickest passage ever made from Vigo
to this port. s _

From the above it will be seen that the whole voyage
has been performed under very disadvantageous and try-
ing circumstances—that of an insufficient supply of fuel
throughout. On no occasion, during the pissenge. could.
the whole of her steam power be made available : but,
notwithstanding this circumstance, she often, with steam
power alone, logged upwards of 200 miles in the twenty-
four hours. The time occupied in making the passage
from Hobson's Bay, Melbourne, including detentions, to
the Mersey, is eighty-six days ; and, deducting deten-
tions, seventy-two days. The distance sailed over in that
time, according to her log, was 14,688 miles, which gives
an average speed of 204 miles per day. If? a sufficient
supply of fuel could be depended upon at the ports of
call, there is not the least doubt but that the Great Bri-
tain could regularly make the:passage between Liverpool
and Melbourne, or vice versa, under 60 days. The com-
mander and officers were highly complimented by the pas-
sengers previous to their leaving the ship. The Great
Britain spoke very few vessels on the passage. On the
sth January she saw the American ship, Harriet Scott
enter Hobson's Bay ; on the 22d she passed the Lanark,
of Boston ; and on-the 23d the Russian ship, Vesta. On
the 10th Februry she passed a ship a ship flying Marryatt's
signals, No. 7,618, second distinguishing pennant.
We believe it is the intention of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright,
and Co. to again dispatch the Great Britain, to Australia
as soon as possible. _ _
