MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—UnreIieved dulness has succeeded the
greater animation that prevailed in the market at the begin-
ning of last week. A gradual subsidence of demand has gone
on, but without causing, much alteration in prices? beyond
the difference that invariably distinguishes a sluggish from
an active market. On Tuesday the market was exceedingly
dull, and there has been no alleviation from it since. The
demand for India Yarns has very much moderated, and prices
are decidedly lower. Water Yarns for the German markets
are barely firm, whilst the demand is anything but large, and
Yarns for home use can only find purchasers at a reduction.
The same entire absence of animation that prevails in respect
to Yarns exists also ir the Cloth market. Prices are without
material change.
LEEDS.—There has been a rather brisk demand for low
heavy goods, as Whitneys, mohair cloths, &c., but for any-
thing else the markets were dull, and sales could only be
effected by a reduction in price. Business has also been dull
in the warehouses; the few buyers who have been down pur-
chase only for present need, and to a very limited extent.
BRADFORD.—WooI : The business doing is exceedingly
meagre, and sales in quantity cannot be effected. Noils and
Brokes without change. Yarns : The spinners are doing a
very limited business in the spool trade. The stoppage of
looms is so considerable, that the idle spinning frames, and
those worked short time, are now more than were ever remem-
bered at any previous period ; and the Burnley turn-out will
add more to the number. Pieces : Diminished production
is certainly telling on the stocks in the market; for, without
this judicious course, they would have betn augmented to an
unwise extent ; but, with the present nfarked caution, it is
not improbable their value will be maintained, and at the
turn of the year activity may prevail.
NOTTINGHAM.—The continued uncertainty of affairs in
the East, affecting to a great extent the money market and
price of provisions, may be looked upon as the chief cause of
the unusual flatness of trade at the present time in Notting.
ham. There are many buyers here? especially Americans,
but either from a want of confidence in the future, or the ex-
pectation of goods being lower in price, they have, as yet,
made but few purchases. We have no change to report in the
price of Yarn.

LEICESTER.—A further depression is manifest this week
in business; fewer sales are accomplished; less work is
given out by manufacturers, who are not disposed to accu-
mulate stock. The spinners are either working short time,
or stopping a portion of their machinery. Some have reduced
their worsted id per lb. this week. Wools are a shade in
favour of buyers, although particularly firm under such
depression.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL COURIER.

Sin,—Although very unwilling to come before the public
at this time, I feel constrained to notice a paragraph in the
Standard of to-day, to the effect that the Itiv. Josh. Bardsley
preached always controversially in St. Michael's pulpit.
Nothing can be more untrue. His sermons were argumenta-
tive, which might- have been expected from the character of
his mind, but they were also exceedingly practical. He did
in one sermon allude to the subject of baptism, but in that
sermon he "that was a doctrine on which the wisest,
best, and most learned men had conscientiously held different
opinions, and that it would ill become him to dogmatise on
such a question."- He preached another sermon, showing
the advantages of forms of prayer for public worship, and the
comprehensive and edifying character of our own beautiful
Liturgy. But- in• this sermon, no more than in any of his
others, did he treat his subject controversially. And this
will be easily understood by all who know the kind and
charitable feelings- entertained by Mr. Bardsley towards our
dissenting brethren, a feeling I wish we could see more of in.
those who so unjustly complain of Mr. Bardsley. I have con-
versed with several Of 'St. Michael's congregation on the sub-
ject of this unfair-attack, and they all concur in the correct--
ness of my view of-the matter. HENRY- CARPENTER..

Oct 25th, 1853;
P.S.—I may add that out of ten sermons' preached by Mr.
Bardsley in St. hfichael'B, seven were on practical subjects, in
which no allusionmasmade to points of controversy unhappily
existing between two parties in the church.

THE MISSION OF DR. CHALMERS.

(FROM DR. CUMMING'S BIOGRAPHICAL PREFACE TO
BOHN'S EDITION OF CHALMERS'S BRIDGEWATER

TREATISES.)

,
It was pre-eminently the mission of Chalmers to show
that Christianity was not behind the nineteenth century,
and to prove that he who accepted the sublime but
hufnbling truths of the Great Redeemer was wise in the
highest sense. This was always true. But at the begin-
ning of the present century it needed a master spirit
to make the world see it, and that spirit was Dr. Chalmers.
One great value of the writings of Chalmers is the sup-
ply of materials of thought and illustration which they
furnish to humbler minds. In this way his sermons have
penetrated the theology of every land, and have been re-
produced in endless variety of shape and language. In
his writings, as in a mine, is rich and precious ore. The
best rectories and vicarages of England, and the most
enlightened manses of Scotland are the mints in which
the ore is still coined and reduced to currency. Useful-
ness is after all the highest proof of genius. He is the
greatest man who is the most useful. Let us be thankful
that Chalmers in his works is as useful as Chalmers in his
pulpit. Being dead he yet speaks, and awakens echoes in
the hearts of increasing numbers of every land.

CANOVA'S FIRST LOVE.

(FROM THE " 110YHO0D OF GREAT MEN.")
While studying in the gallery of the palace, he formed
a strong and fanciful attachment, which gave a colour to
his life, and ended in the formation of some of his finest
conceptions. One day he observed a mild, beautiful,
delicate, graceful looking female under the gallery, at-
tended by a friend, who daily departing returned before
the hour of closing, leaving the former to employ herself
in studies, which chiefly consisted in drawing from antique
heads. His eye was arrested as the eye of genius only
can be, and his heart touched with such sympathetic sen-
sations as the pure alone can feel. For some time he
worshipped her at a distance, as an Indian does a star.
Accident first placed the youthful pair near each other,
and henceforth Leonora was irresistibly attracted to select
such models as brought him nearest the fair unknown.
And, while leaning on the shoulder of her attendant, she
praised his work in accents which were like angelic music
to his ear, and long treasured up in the most consecrated
spot of his memory. At length this object of his sweet
adoration was absent, and the young and aspiring sculp-
tor was miserable. Ere long, however, the attendant
appeared, but alone, and habited in deep mourning.
Canova's heart failed at the sight ; but, mustering up
courage as she was departing, he ventured to inquire for
her friend. "La 'Signora Julia is dead," replied she, as,
bursting into tears, she hurried away, leaving the artist
to subdue and digest his agonizing grief.

last one hundred years, stories about China and Bantam,
which ought not to have been imposed upon an old nurse,
were gravely laid down as foundations of political theories

THE FRIENDS WE CAN TRUST.

(FROM A FORTHCOMING VOLUME, BY MISS MARION P. AIRD,
OF KILMARNOCK.)
LONG, long years of trial
The faithful may prove,
The truth of the friends
Whom no change can remove;
The frost-breath of falsehood
The diamond may rust,
But true as the magnet
The friends we can trust.

All joy to the faithful—
The friends ever dear—
Who in sorrow can gladden,
In darkness can cheer;
Let others deceive thee,
And dust cleave to dust,
There are some still, believe me,
"The friends we can trust."

The green leaves of summer
May wither away,
And joy melt like snow-fall
In winter's decay;
The rose.bloom of beauty
May slumber in dust,
But a rock to the ocean
The friend we can trust.

Yes, earth were a desert
Unblest with a friend.
In sadness to soothe me,
In s'ckness to tend ;
Till the last link is broken,
And dust turns to dust,
May Heaven still leave me
The friend I can trust.

Then fear not the faithful,
For truth cannot fail,
Though Satan its pillars
Of marble assail ;
The strength of the mountain
May crumble in dust,
But the shields of the earth
Are the friends we can trust,

LITERATURE.

BOORS FOR REVIEW, &c.—Books, New Prints, Music, &c.
intended for review, may be left at Mr. C. Mitchell's, Red-
lion-court, Fleet-street, London, addressed " to the Editor
of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD," when they will be forwarded
and receive attention.

Notes on Herodotus. By Dawson W. Turner,
M.A. London : H. G. Bohn.

This handsome volume presents at the outset two
substantial claims upon our attention. It is one of
the admirable series of books in Bohn's Philological
Library, and is, moreover, from the pen of an
accomplished Oxford scholar, who now occupies
the honourable post of head master in the Royal
Institution School, Liverpool. A third recom-
mendation will be:found in the suggestive statement
that the present is the " second edition, with
numerous additions and corrections." Mr. Turner's
modesty prevents him from claiming the amount of
credit which he deserves for his tasteful and
judicious commentary; and, while hardly any pre-
tence is made to originality, he has succeeded in
producing a volume which, above all others treating
on the same subject, must be invaluable to students
in the universities, to the higher classes in schools,
and to the youth who is well advanced in the work
of self-education. The type is clear and bold, and,
though not costly by any means, the book is a
credit to Mr. Bohn.

Autographs for Freedom. _ London : John Cassell

Mrs. Stowe and thirty-five other eminent writers
have each added a stone to this little cairn of anti-
slavery testimonies. The hook has been compiled
by the Rochester (U. S.) Ladies' Anti-slavery So-
ciety, and we have no doubt that the English
edition will assist their funds considerably. The
more prominent contributors are Mrs. Stowe, the
Earl of Carlisle, the Hon. Horace Mann, Whittier
the poet, Greeley the journalist, and Frederick
Douglas, the heroic slave.

RAPID CURE OF COUGH & DIFFIC Y OF BREATHING.
Hale, near Liverpool.
Sir,— I write to inform you the great benefit I have re-
ceived from taking Locock' afers, which you recommended
to me. I was so much o essed at my chest that when I lay

down a coughing fit c eon with such violence that I have
often thought I sho not live to see the morning; but now I
can sleep a whole ght without coughing, after having taken
only two boxes, wafers. J. HAYNES.

ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH

Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road,
_ • _ Liverpool.
. .

Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in communicating to you
a case (among many) which came under my own observation.
A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon
her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and
not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She
was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of

consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not
obtain any relief; when, upon the recommendation of a friend,
she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commence-
ment, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly
cured. (Signed) THOMAS DEAN.
ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS.
Parliament-street, Liverpool.
Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extra-
ordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I bad been troubled with
a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief,
when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of
which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. 9d.)
has quite
cured me. I have since recommended them to several of my
friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief fromthem.—l remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIAMS.

troops.
AMOY, DEC. 3.—Serious disturbances, originating in
some irregularities in conducting the emigration of
Coolies, by Chinese agents and brokers, occurred. The
English marines were obliged to fire on the mob. A few
Chinese reported killed, and several wounded. Order
was at length restored.

VARIETIES.

CON.-Why is Palmerston like the measles ?—Because
nearly every administration has him once.
A LADY advertises in the New York Herald, that •she
wants a gentleman for " breakfast and tea !"
DR. Duorr says that during his visit to Ireland he met
a mob of children so ragged that if they had got entangled,
it would have taken their parents a lifetime to have got
them apart again.
MENAGE, the Frenchman, had so short a memory that
he wrote the following note on his tablet !—' Memoran-
dum : lam to be married on the Bth April.' After all he
forgot the day.

A YOUNG FELLOW offered to bet with the teacher of a
young ladies'grammar school, who was boasting of the
proficiency of his pupils, that not one of them would de-
cline a husband.

A LITTLE STRANGER was found recently on the door
steps of Mr. Strange, a gentleman in Boston. A stranger
fact is, however, that Mr. Strange is the son of a gentle-
man who was deposited on some steps, in like manner, in
the same city.
RATHER SHEEPISH.—At a concert given a short time
ago by the Latter Day Saints, at Llanelly, the proceed-
ings, says the Cambrian, included an imitation, by Bro-
ther Ephraim, of the bleating of sheep !

MEDICINE.—The best medicine in the world for most
complaints is abstinence. Upon the first symptoms of
disease stop eating and drinking, kiss your wife and
children, take a pleasant book, and remain quiet. If you
have no wife and children, put your feet into a pair of
soft slippers, make a good fire and take an easy chair by
it, and dream of them in prospective. You have no idea
how like a charm this prescription will work, until you
try it—and it isn't at all in the " doctor's books," either,
good as it is !

CLERICAL OPPOSITION TO CHURCH RATES.—At
vestry meeting held at Frome, on Thursday week, to

Esq., churchwarden, and seconded. an amendment was

CANOVA'S FIRST LOVE

(FROM THE " BOYHOOD OF GREAT MEN.")
While studying in the gallery of the palace, he formed
a strong and fanciful attachment, which gave a colour to
his life, and ended in the formation of some of his finest
conceptions. One day he observed a mild, beautiful,
delicate, graceful looking female under the gallery, at-
tended by a friend, who daily departing returned before
the hour of closing, leaving the former to employ herself
in studies, which chiefly consisted in drawing from antique
heads. His eye was arrested as the eye of genius only
can be, and his heart touched with such sympathetic sen-
sations as the pure alone can feel. For some time he
worshipped her at a distance, as an Indian does a star.
Accident first placed the youthful pair near each other,
and henceforth Leonora was irresistibly attracted to select
such models as brought him nearest the fair unknown.
And, while leaning on the shoulder of her attendant, she
praised his work in accents which were like angelic music
to his ear, and long treasured up in the most consecrated
spot of his memory. At length this object of his sweet
adoration was absent, and the young and aspiring sculp-
tor was miserable. Ere long, however, the attendant
appeared, but alone, and habited in deep mourning.
Canova's heart failed at the sight; but, mustering up
courage as she was departing, he ventured to inquire for
her friend. "La Signora Julia is dead," replied she, as,
bursting into tears, she hurried away, leaving the artist
to subdue and digest his agonizing grief.

Hale, near Liverpool,

Sir,—l write to inform you of the great'benefit I hilve re-
ceived from taking Locock's Wafers. which you recommended
to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that when I lay
down a coughing fit came on with such violence that I have
often thought I should not live to see the morning; but now I
can sleep a whole night without coughing, after having taken
only two boxes of wafers._ J. HAYNES.

Witness, P. Roberts, 4, Ranelagh-street.
ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH

Extrizci;faFetter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road,

Liverpool.

Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in communicating to you
a case (among many) which came under my own observation.
A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon
her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and
not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She
was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of
consumption. She Applied to her medical man, but did not
obtain any relief ; when, upon the recommendation of a friend,
she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commence-
ment, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly
cured. (Signed) THOMAS DEAN.

ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS.
Parliament-street, Liverpool.
Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extra-
ordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with
a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief,
when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of
which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. 9d.) bas quite
cured me. I have since recommended them to several of my
friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief from
J WILLIAMS.
