pitalist and Builder. cauL4LLULL w.toes a-
The Land thus offered for Public Sale, is wholly within the
Township of Birkenhead, and under the protection•of its Local
Acts, and has, by its favourable position, participated largely
in the great works carried out and those now in progress, un-
der the powers of the several Acts in force for thelmprovement
of the Town.
THE LAND SURROUNDING THE PARK, and perma-
nently attached to it,' is situated between the carriage drives
and the several magnificent roads lately executed in continuous
and uninterrupted boundary to that property, and within 2000
yards average distance from the Ferries. The gr
acknowledged beauty of, the Park (in the formation a..„
pletion of which no expense has been spared) has secured
nucleus to the Building Land, forming a prospect commanded
by the whole of that Property, of very striking and judiciously
varied scenery. The Park is situate on a gentle slope, gradu-
ally rising to considerable elevation, and from which extensive
marine views, on the Lancashire and Cheshire shores, are
embraced.
ADJOINING the Park Land, with advantages little inferior,
is situated the Land called THE FOREST LND, now under
Timber, and very eligible for Villas 'and other classes of Pro-
perty.
With a due regard to the principles and preliminary measures
upon which Building Land is brought into a condition for im-
mediate realization, the Commissioners have (aided most ma-
terially by the central position of the Property) been enabled to
effect a complete union with the leading and conspicuous
thoroughfares in the Town.
• THE CEMETERY AND CONWAY-STREET ESTATES,.
within a short distance of the large Dock Works, now assuming
an aspect of rapid progressive importance have, in the manner
in which it has been finally decided on trea'ing them, both as to
their connexion with the Agricultural Districts, and the scene
of business in the Great Floating Basin and auxiliary Docks,
secured to that property a permanent character and value that
cannot be prejudiced.
The Land contiguous to the New Market forms the entire
N.W. Boundary to that Building, fronting Hamilton-street,.
and a(mtting Market-street, the latter of which it is decided to.
wideri4b a correspondingwidth of 20 yards, with Hamilton-street,
is divilied into small desirable lots, interrupted only by side
approaches, and other accesses to the New Building.
It is almost needless to draw public attention to the rapid
growth of Birkenhead, or to the Great Works in progress and
prospect, to which, in a degree, may be attributed as the active
agent, in combination with the natural resources and commer-
cial and rural position of the district, its rapid increase.
The rural and commercial sections of the Town have been
distinctly and judiciously defined. The Park is a gift to the
Inhabitants, dedicated in perpetuity to the Town; and while-
this noble public work engaged the attention of the Commis-
sioners, it was happily combined with the consideration of
affording the superior and middle classes among the Merchants
of Liverpool and Birkenhead an opportunity, at a compara-
tively trifling cost, of establishing themselves in a rural district,
at an easy stage from their scenes of business, combining the
features of a Country Residence and Park Range, with the
—fort and safety " wat,' • - regular

vat extent and

lighting anu
tions. This wise provision for the public interest can but meet
with the eminent success it deserves.

"Stn,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely.afilicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was
compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was considered en-
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit
I derived: after a few days' application the use of my limbs are.
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business,.
ad, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my
life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their-
case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trill!".
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their
limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing. to those who can enjoy it, but to
hose who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to
make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am
for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly.

WOODSIDE AND BIRKENHEAD FERRIES.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL• STANDARD.

ucation
and

DEAR SIR,-1 beg to call your attention to what ap-
pears to me a very shabby attempt on the part of the
proprietors of the Woodside Ferry, to obtain custom for
their boats to the prejudice of the proprietors of the
Birkenhead Ferry. lal ude to the board they have stuck
up in their boats with "Birkenhead by Woodside" painted
on it ; and what is worse, the police themselves sometimes
lead you astray by miscalling the boats. Last Saturday
night I was going across to Birkenhead, and seeing a boat
moored c!ose to George's Pier, I asked the policeman
who was in attendance whether it was the Birkenhead
boat, he replied that it was ; but knowing the shabby
attempt_ that is made to take simple travellers in, I further

(BY EXPRESS.)

inquired whether it was to Birkenhead direct, when !o!
it turned out to be the Woodside boat. Now, certainly
the police ought to be cautioned not .to lead travellers
astray. If any meaning is to be attached to names, when
a man inquires for a Birkenhead boat, be means a boat
which will take him to the Birkenhead Ferry ; and when
he inquires for a Woodside boat, be means a boat which
wilt take him to the Woodside Ferry; and therefore, if
the authorities have the power of so doing, they ought to
compel each boat to have no name placarded except that
of the ferry to which they belong. If they bare no power

INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPACY

For our part we urge, says the Herald, in the strongest
manner, the immediate and the large increase of the epis-
copacy of England. But we should be content with forty,
or about twelve or fourteen above the present number,
being at the rate of one bishop to every 400,000 of the
people. But this ratio would leave Bangor and St. Asaph
united; for, together, they have only 354,000.
Meanwhile, however, the chief want of all remains un-
regarded. Can it be borne that Lancashire, With its
1,600,000 inhabitants, should be left any longer without a
bishop? To say that the Bishop of tLester,,exeettent
man that he is,--is Well able to take care of the 2,200,000
of people committed to his charge,' is to s,y, in fact, that
eight good bishops would be enough for the whole of
England ! .

The Paris 'correspondent of the Times, writing from
that capital on Saturday, says—" Never did more diffi-
culty present itself in the way of coming to a satisfactory
conclusion than in this affair of the projected Montpen-
sier marriage. England has most forcibly protested
against it here:and at Madrid ; yet it is the more than
ever likely to be carried into effect. The opposition to
it declared in the protests of Mr. Bulwer and. Lord Nor-
manby is unequivocal. The interview of the Marquis of
Normanby with M. Guizot yesterday was, it is presumed,
a very animated ore, for when M.-Guizot issued from his
cabinet to conduct the noble lord to the entrance, he was
much flushed--;a matter of rare occurrence with him.
Lord Normanby showed quite as much colour. They
had scarcely -separated, when M. Guizot was besieged
by persons anxious to learn what had been the nature
of their conversation. It became known immediately
that M. Guizot professed himself satisfied with the
communication made to him, which (as I am informed)
he described aseouched in terms much more moderate
than he had expected. This naturally produced a-favour-
able effect out of-doors, but to.day there is another ver-
sion of the story in circulation. It is said that the pro-
test presented yesterday to 'M. Guizot by Lord Normanby
expressed in the most energetic terms the hostility of the
British government to the contemplated marriage of the
Duke de Montpensier with the infanta of Spain, vhich,
the document contended, would be in direct contraven-
tion of the Treaty of. Uttecht. It 'added—if I be; as I
think I am, well informed—Ahat even if the treaty of.
Utrecht had ceased to exist, or had never had existence, the
British government would protest with equal energy
against the marriage, on the broad general ground that it
would affect the interests of all Europe, and disturb the
balance of power. The document is described to me as
concluding by the expression of a fear, or a conviction,
that 'the marriage is•e,aleulated iojuriously to affect the
relations subsisting between'France and Great Britair..'
"No reply has been made, I believe, to this protest. It
was immediately forwarded to the king at St. Cloud. His
Majesty came into town in the course of the day, his
face, like that of M. Gnizot, bearing the appearance of
satisfaction. A messenger was dispatched to London•in
the afternoon.

T.
All these new bishops would have larper charges than
the bishop of the united see of Bangor and. St. Asaph.
Consequently, we are not able to consent to the conti-
nuance of two bishops in that little corner of the island,
until t ese larger wants have been first attended to.

Now, for this addition to the episcopacy, we neither
ask additional revenues nor additional seats in Parliament.
Moat High Churchmen are now quite prepared to abandon
all claim to either. It is not long since we read, in a
journal professing very High Church Principles, a pro-
position for 40 bishops, with incomes of £3OOO each, and
the 40 to elect 10 (besides the archbishops) to sit in Par-
liament; these 10 having a further allowance, for town
expenses, of £lOOO a year for each. It is clear, that the
present revenues of. the bishops would suffice to defray
the whole of this charge.
Now we believe a plan of this kind would be received
by all classes of churchmen with delight; and that any
Governmew would have earned endless fame by proposing
such a reform.
Meanwhile, we must once more earnestly deprecate
any retrograde movement. _

MONEY MARKET—SATURDAY NIGHT.•••CORSOIS
closed a shade better than they opened. The amount of
business was limited in the extreme, and long before the
markets shut most of the dealers bad left for the day.
The inactivity of the speculators continues the theme of
general complaint. Consols left off this afternoon 954- to
I for money, aad 95j to 1 for the account. Bank Stock
was done for the account at 2101. Exchequer-bills
brought a rather higher premium to-day, and were quoted
12s. to 15s. pm. The latest kn-gains in the foreign mar-
ket this afternoon were—Brazilian Fire per cents, at 881;
the New Bonds at 66 ; Ecuador, at 3Z ; Mexican for the
account, at 241 and 25 ; Peruvian, at 37 ; Spanish Five
per Cents, at 26f ' • the Three per Cents for the account,
at 36/ and 371 ; Venezuela, for the account, at 42 ;
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 97j ; and Dutch
Four per Cents., Certificates, at 95. Money is in fair de-
mand to-day on commercial paper, without being in any
degree scarce. Nominally, the rate fixed by the discount
houses for first-class paper is 3 per cent., that being the
minimum rate of the Bank of England, but really it would
be hard to obtain accommodation under 31. On the
Stock-Exchange money is easy.
THE DAGENHAM MURDER.—The wife of Serjeant
Parsons, against whom charges were made of being in
some way implicated in this horrid affair, has died under
melancholy circumstances. She had been recently con-
fined, and it is supposed that the particulars connected
with the melancholy event had such an effect upon her
feelings as to accelerate her death. It is stated that there
has been a meeting of the several beads of divisions of the
police at Scotland-yard, for the purpose of devising the
best means of discovering the murderer or murderers of
the unfortunate man Clarke. The result of that meeting:
is, the proposition of enlarging the amount of the reward
for the discoverer of the murderer from £lOO to LAO ;
that as the police feel that a certain odium has been cast
upon the force generally by the non-discovery of the
murderer, they propose to raise by voluntary subscrip-
tions amongst themselves the other £4OO, in order that
the perpetrator may be brought to justice, and that the
scale of subscriptions from constables, inspectors, &c.,
will be settled by the beads of divisions, when it will be
left tothe men's discretion to subscribe to it.—Herald.
REi,I.E.F OF IRISH. DISTRESS.—From multitudinous
reports of baronial sessions meetings, it would seem that
the gentry and cess-payers of Ireland are resolved to act
up to, if notgo beyond, the spirit of the widely-condemned
Labour Rate Act. The moneys continue to be voted with
as liberal a rand as though there were no such gloomy
prospect in the distance as the day of reckoning. Thus,
£198,119 have been already voted at the six first sessions
for the comity of Cork, while sessions, in other baronies
in the same county, are in course of being held. In
Clare, presentments have been made on a still more mag-
nificent scale, the total amounting to upwards of £300,000.
At one baronial sessions in the county of Donegal, the
amount of presentments fiated, without a single remon-
strance or complaint, was £40,000 ; at Castlebar the
enormous sum of £BO,OOO was assessed ; and so on from
one end of the kiegdom to the other. The Evening Mail
complains—and the complaint is universal—that these
sums have been devoted to the purposes, not merely use-
less, but mischievous (as entailing permanent expense)
of making roads not required by any necessities of the
districts; uud that at a time alien every one admits that
there is not an acre in Ireland in which a return of at
least ten per cent, might not be secured upon a judicious
outlay of capital. It is worthy of remark, that in their
zeal to carry out the provisions of the act, the gentry
have, in various instances, assessed baronies one-third be-
yond the value of the rental, a proceeding that may here-
after lead to results other,perhaps, than those contemplated.
RAILWAY METROPOLITAN TERM IN 1.-6—The novel sight
will soon be witnessed of many hundreds of men em-
ployed in the very heart of London in the construction of a
railway. The London and South-Western Company have
now got possession of nearly all the property necessary for
the extension of their line to Hungerford Bridge, and the
most active preparations are making for commencing the
construction of the works without delay. There will be a
magnificent station at Hungerford Bridge. The extent and
style of the erection may be inferred from the fact that
its cost will exceed £lOO,OOO. The expenses of con-
structing the extension line from Nine Elms to Hun-
gerford Bridge, including the purchase of property, will
not, it is supposed, be under £600,000, making, with the
station, £700,000, or the enormous sum of £350,000
per mile. The South-Western Company, though mak.
ing their principal station at Hungerford Bridge,
do not mean to stop there, but are to extend their
line to London Bridge, where means will be adopted
to connect their station with that of the London and ,
Brighton, the South-Eastern, and the various other com-
a the east side of London

" Thus you will see that the first step has been taken
by the British Government in opposition to this matri-
monial union. I know not what ought to be the next
diplomatic move, but,in the meanwhile events progress.
The Duke de Montpensier took leave-to-day of his friends.
He paid M. Guizot two visits, and proposes positively to
depart from Paris next Monday morning. Yon will per-
clove, therefore, that a.crisis of somelind is at hand.
The correspondent of the Morning :Herald, however.
writing on the same day, says that Lord Normanby's note
dichnot contain one word of menace, did not contain a
protest, and did not even demand an adjournment of the
marriages. The note concludes some general observations
on the inconveniences which might arise from the project
in question, by an assurance that such observations have
been offered in the most friendly spirit, and with the in-
tention that the good understanding between the coun-
tries shall not be interrupted. .

LANCASHIRE RAILWAYS.—The ,Railway Times of
Saturday, in introducing a favourable article on the Li-
verpool,.Ormskirk,and Preston Railway, mentions John
Holmes, Esq., as its originator., and says that the meet-
ing to be held on Wednesday, of the shareholders, natur-
ally "suggests certain inferences as to the compensation
which he is to receive." The following is a ,portion of
our contemporary's article :—" if England has reason to
be proud of her railways, Lancashire has local and special
cause for congratulation in favour of hers, all of which
have been uniformly prosperous. The fact is, that Lan-
cashire is not only one of the most:populous sections of
the kingdom, but one which combines within itself all the
chief elements of success. Glancing northward, we per-
ceive Fleetwood, Lancaster, Preston. Blackburn, Chor-
ley, Kirkham, Bolton, and Bury, intimately ,connected
with Liverpool and Manchester to the south ; and on the

portion, it is matter of notoriety, that coal and iron are
abundant; and the value of the cotton manufactures alone,
amounts to upwards of £66,000,000 annually, showing an
average increase of about £16.000,000 every ten years, as
instanced in 1824, 1834, and 1844."
LONDON AND NORTHAVESTERN.—• The nature of the
extensive works now going on at Euston-square is thus
specified by the Morning Chronicle :—The principal en-
trance to the station in Drummond-street will undergo
alteration. In a line with it, however, at the south-west
corner of Wittlebury-street, a receiving-house is to be
erected ; and adjacent to this at the back, running the
whole length of the street, about 800 feet, will be formed
a station, so as to correspond with the one on the opposite
side, both verging into the permanent line. At the head
of this edifice nearest Drummond-street a commodious
pavilion will be built for the express accommodation of
the Royal Family. The building will be of the Doric or-
der. Further up the same side of the above street, ano-
ther entrance to the terminus will be found, leading to a
range of stores for parcels and the auditors' office, They
will be three stories in height, and in unison with the ge-
neral style of architecture of the other parts. To the

immense buildings are in course of erection. One, the
carriage-repairing department, is upwards of 300 feet in
length, and 120 feet in width, the roof supported by fifty
iron columns. There is also a spacioji. smith factory,
with an octagon shaft, peculiarly built, feet in height,

I by that

mistress, and how that tongue, yet lisping, bath caught
the accent of command. Hearken to her dial )gue with
her mute wooden companion, and see how she rejoices in
her conscious superiority. When her mind has become
enkindled with the visions of its own fancy, you may
observe how she is dressing up some gay scene of
future happiness, in which she is to act by far the most
conspicuous part. And 01 now were she a little older,
or a little taller, or had one other dress, or one more
beautiful toy, how loftily would she then carry her-
self, and how full would be the cop of her jiy ! And if
she muse yet farther into futurity, she is thinking about
houses and wealth, and domestics and equipage', and she
is sagely conjecturing how she will act when all these
things are hers. Thus is her soul, just entering or-
being, bewildered in its own deceivings, and fee?
its own vanity with the foolish fictions
imagination. Or you may look upon . your little boa,
sauntering along in his errand, and gazing at every shop
window, and admiring every passing equipage, and
wondering at every dwellinz of opulence and splendour
which he beholds, and which seems to him inhabited
by beings with whom he would hardly dare to speak.
What is it that occupies his thoughts and retards his
steps, as be slowly moves on in his appointed duty ? Ab !
he is thinking of what he would do, were he as strong
as. Sampson, or were his arm as mighty as the giants
of whom be has read in his story book. If this were the
case, how fearlessly would he move through these street,
by day, yes, and by night, too, and how should all
men and the boys tremble at his frown. Or it r•
he is thinking what he would do if he were rich
should now find a purse of gold, or if in some
rambles he should stumble, as some one of whom I
read, did once stumble upon a mine of silver or a he
diamonds, how would he thin put to shame all the
