(FOR GENTLEMEN),
AND 43, SEYMOUR-STREET,
(FOR LADIES).

MONSIEUR L. P. GUILLUAME LEA, Brother
and Successor to Mr. Fabius Lea, respectfully announces
to the Inhabitants of Liverpool in general, that his FRENCH
CLASSES are now OPENED.
As these Classes are designed more particularly for the ac-
commodation of Gentlemen whose usual avocations render
Evenings the most eligible time for study of whatever kind, as
well as for Young Men whose business or professional engage-
ments occupy the whole of the day, Mons. G. Lea has made
such arrangements as enable him to reserve the entire Even-
ings from the hour of Eight, for the purpose of giving instruc-
tions to such parties, in every branch of the French Language,
whether Elementary, Conversational, or thoroughly Gramma-
tical.
Fully aware of the pleasure as well as service which may be
derived from a knowledge of this Language, Mons. G. Lea has
fixed his terms so as to place it as nearly as can be within the
reach of all who may feel disposed to avail themselves of the
advantages the present opportunity affords.
TERMS, TWICE A WEEK.—Classes consisting of Six, Books
included, ael 6s. per quarter each.
The object of these Classes is by means of readings, conver-
sations on literary subjects, to exercise genius, enlarge inform-
ation, and by interchange of sentiments ensure readiness of
thought and facility of language.
&:7- There are Two Classes, one for Beginners, Mondays and
Thursdays, and the other, Tuesdays and Fridays, for advanced
Pupils. Members of either Class have the privilege to attend
Four times a week, without any additional expense.
Application for further particulars to be made at the Profes-
sor's residence, 43, SEYMOUR-STREET.

ous Plans of Education ;" of the "Abridged History of France,
connected with the English History ,;" of a " French Corres-
pondence on Literary subjects ;" of Occasional Lectures on

PATENT OLMSTED STOVES,

FOR WARMING CHURCHES, PUBLIC BUILDINGS,
OFFICES, B.c.
BENJAMIN HIGGS respectfully invites attention
to the above Stove, which, unlike most others, still main-
tains its fsme. They are now manufactured in a very durable
manner, and the fact of upwards of twenty Churches and Public
Buildings in this town and neighbourhood having been warmed
by them, is sufficient proof of their utility.
The neatness in appearance—the complete safety from acci-
dent by fire—the cleanliness In its use—the ease with which the
fuel is ignited— the constancy, night and day, with which the
heat may be maintained—the trifling expense of fuel required
—and the salubrity and purity of the air where it is used—are
the chief recommendations of this peculiar Stove.
Abundant experience, as well as the highest medical testi-
mony, has proved the entire safety and value of these Stoves in
Dwelling-houses, even in Sleeping-rooms, and the Apartments
of Invalids.

-... -..—.
By exposing a large extent of surface, a sufficient amount of
heat is secured without being intensely heated in any one part;
hence the air of the room remains pure, and, being uniformly
distributed by means of a Circulator, is rendered both health-
ful and agreeable, which no other Stove or Heating Apparatus
ever invented possesses.
The Stoves may be seen in operatiou daily, at

currently growing. disaffection of our colonies, the
ened bankruptcy of India, and the bloody and disgrz.
massacres committed in the name of British authority
the native tribes of Borneo," excite and sadden the con-
templations of our contemporary. " The conquest of the
Punjaub, like the conquest of Scinde, has entailed increased
expense out of revenues which have not increased in pro-
portion. A surplus revenue while the Sutlege was our
boundary, is converted into an annual deficit of two mil-
lions, now that we have conquered all to the Indus. An-
nexation continues to be the theme of resolutions both in
Canada and in some of the local legislatures of the United
States. The Cape colonists resist, triumphantly, the de-
cree of the foreign and colonial office." Thus the Spec-
tator fears for the Cape, because if the Cape revolted,
Australia would revolt, and if Australia, then Canada, and
if Canada, then India, and if all these, and the Mediter-
ranean station to boot, then—last and crowning mischitf—
Ireland also. A pleasant picture this for the contempla-
tion of John Bull, and that, too, from the pencil of the
very parties whom he has been looking up to as oracles of
wisdom, and under whose guidance and instigation he en-
tered on the perilous voyage of free trade.
TILE FRIENDS IN ENGLAND OF AUSTRALIA, AND ITS
PROSPERITY.—A recently arrived newspaper (the Mel-
bourne Daily News) gives, from a London correspondent,
some interesting memoranda of the exertions, at home, of
three staunch friends of Australia, in promoting the wel-
fare and prosperity of that immense and rapidly progres-
sing coiony,—namely; the Hon. Francis Scott, M.P. for
Roxburgsbire ; Mr. Mark Boyd ; and Mr. Samuel Brown-
ing. Mr. Scott, it appeared, is a member of the cele-
brated family of Scotts, of Scotland, of whom was that
ornament of society Sir Walter Scott, of Abbotsford. Ile

STATE OF TRADE

MANCEIESTER.—The dulness which characterised most de-
partments of business on Tuesday last rather increased up to
the close of the week. This is partly attributable to immediate
sympathy with the drooping course of the raw material, but
still more to the season of the year, and the absence of orders
for foreign markets, or the postponement of their execution
under existing circumstances; the last-named cause being
itself a result of doubts as to the maintenance of cotton, and
consequently of cotton fabrics, at their present prices. The
shippers have done extremely little in madapoliams, jacconets,
and the various widths of shirtings, which may, therefore, be
had rather under the rates of last week. Long cloths and T
cloths are still very inanimate, at the previous quotations. In
domestics, the tendency is still somewhat against the makers.
There is a very limited call for printing cloths, though greater
than for any other articles, and slight concessions have, in
some instances, been made from the prices of a week ace,

to Purchasers unusually great, having before the advance in

Midland Florist and Suburban Horticulturist. Lon-

This completes the third year of the most useful work
ever published for the florist. The floricultural informa-
tion is of the best possible description, and distinctly prac-
tical in all its details. It reflects the greatest credit upon-
the conductor, Mr. J. F. Wood, of the well-known Cop-
pice Nursery, near Nottingham, whose thorough know-
ledge of plants has enabled him to make the Midland

John Ryan, LL.D. M.D. London : Simpkin and
Marshall.

Those who advised Dr. Ryan to publish this lecture
conferred a boon upon society, for it would have been hard
to have given more plain information on this subject than
is done in this small brochure, which, though not supply-
ing, or pretending to supply, all the student wants, yet
contains sufficient to stimulate and guide the uninitiated ;
at the same time it supplies an abundance of novelty to
the practical florist.

sound seise. Of the "Oxford Tracts," he says to a cor-
respondent—" We are young and not quite able to decide
on such important matters : let us cleave to the Scrip-
tures as our rule of faith. This I hold as pay life." If
many curates as young as he had followed, and would now
follow, the example of modesty set by Forsyth, the
Church would have been spared an illustration Of the line
of the poet which says—
" Fools rust► in where angels fear to tread."

Our readers will remember, iii the memoir we penned
of Bishop Shirley, the advice of that good prelate to his
son upon hearty play and diligent study. The conse-
quence of too much of the latter to Forsyth was never
forgotten by him, and he never omitted to urge upon
others the necessity of relaxation after toil.
In the summer of 1840, Forsyth went hp to Cambridge
for his M.A. degree. On his return he paid a visit to the
Rev. T. Methuen, rector of All Cannings, near Devizes.
There he saw the daughter of Lord Edward O'Brien,
brother to the Marquis of Thomond. They were a pair
made for each other, and framed to make the same pilgri-
mage hand in hand together through the earth. They
were married in 1842. The union was followed by much
happiness : four sons were born to parents who dedicated
them to God ; but the father was not destined to see them
fulfil their dedication.

The letters written by him between this period and the
commencement of his long agony are beautiful for their
honest, fearless, and charitable sentiment. _

During the few years of his married life his home hap-
piness was clouded by his failing health. He may be said
to have been slain by that which destroyed Bishop Shir-
ley—namely, excessive duty and an unflinching determi-
nation to perform it at any sacrifice. This determina-
tion on the part of the curate of Westoa was suddenly
checked by his one day being unexpectedly attacked by
violent hemorrhage in the throat. It was ti
of death : he to whom it was sent patient

PRESTON CORN MARKET, DEC. 1

The supply of Grain is liberal, of Oatmeal moderate, but of
other articles unimportant. The Corn trade since our last has
continued in an inanimate state, without any material change
in prices. We had a large show of English Wheat at our
market to-day, the demand for which ruled dull at barely last
week's rates. Irish, as well as Foreign, neglected, and our
last quotations remain nominally unaltered. English house-
hold Flour declined 6d per pack ; other descriptions as before.
Beans and Peas offering more freely, but without change in
value. Oats more plentiful, and being in limited request,
barely sustained our previous currency. For Oatmeal the
demand was likewise very limited, but net being pressed on
the market so freely, the quotations of this day se'nnight were
maintained. Other articles unvaried.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, Nov. 30.
The arrival continues good of Wheat, and though holders are
very firm, the trade is languid and the business small, at last
week's prices. Barley is very dull and Is. lower, the commoner
qualities being unsaleable. Oats and Shelling are without
change. Beans are heavy at late rates.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

RACING CHALLENGE.—We do not know whether our
readers are patriotic enough to feel duly interested in the
Pacha of Egypt's challenge to the Jockey Club. If so,
we are happy to inform them that the negociations are in
a state of forwardness, and that the match will probably
come off next spring. As yet, however, we have not got
beyond the preliminaries. Business-like Mr. Greville will
not stir a step without making sure of his ground. "Is
his Highness to be depended upon ?" "In whose hands
are the stakes to be deposited 1" " Should we be quite
certain of fair play, if we had the best of it ?" The Pacha
as promptly responds. " His money is ready," as the
sporting phrase is, at any European consulate John Bull
likes t) name. He offers, paths-like, the fabulously
large stake of £50,000. But he will have no heats or re-
turn matches ; his horses shall run once—if they win, they
win, and there is an end of it. Twelve miles over the
deep stony sand of the Desert are calculated to put to a
severe test the superiority of the English animal over the
Arab, and it is thought that we must give up speed, and
rely upon a thorough-bred steeple-chase horse, accus-
tomed to something heavier than the sound, springy turf
of Epsom Downs. We trust that the gentlemen of the
Jockey Club will remember that the honour of England,
nay, perhaps her prestige in the East, are now in their
hands.

TUESDAY

MORNING, DEC. 4, 1849,

THE commercial advices per American steamer
continue very satisfactory ; the demand for British
manufactures was good, and the orders for the
same received by her are very extensive. Exchange
dull at 92. The Cotton Markets throughout the
Union have been in a dull and unsettled state,
arising from the anxiety of holders to realize, not-
withstanding the accounts from this place of a
further advance having taken place. The accounts
from all parts of the country are much more
favourable to the crop. The weather was fine and
pleasant for picking, and the opinion is gaining
ground in many quarters that it will prove the
largest crop grown in the United States (with the
exception of last year), and that it will not be less
than 2,400,000. Georgia and South Carolina will
make fully as much as last year. Of course there
are opinions of a very different complexion as to
the yield given in other quarters.

ACCORDINGtO the representations of th e free traders
we ought to be just now entering upon a state of
great prosperity. The lately troubled affairs of
Europe have settled down into a calm ; and we
have been increasing our exports to the other mar-
kets of the world. We have at home everything
to eat and to wear, in abundance, and cheap. The
working man ought to be enabled now, by the
saving in his expenditure for bread, to buy more
from the shopkeeper and the manufacturer. Every
-other class, dependent upon labour or the profits
of trade, ought to have been bettered in its condi-
tion. Yet somehow we don't seem to arrive at this
halcyon state of things, although we were to have
reached it long ago. Our philosophers have, over
and over again, demonstrated the fact. Never was
a problem of Euclid more clearly proved. Yet we
are not there. We are not in the enjoyment of
prosperity; but, on the contrary, complaints of
stagnation in trade, diminished consumption, de-
creased profits, and want of employment, are heard
on every side.

An additional reason why we ought just now to
be in a prosperous condition is the fact that money
is abundant and cheap. Nay, more : we ought, in
accordance with past experience of the effect of
cheap money, to be at this moment progressing
rapidly towards excitP— , wild speculation, and
mania 'd has just reduced its
