RAPID SAILING.—The ship Constantine, Captain Winsor,
which left the bar of New Orleans on the Ist December, ar-
rived at this port on Friday morning, after a passage of 33
days. She had strong westerly winds until near the Channel,
when she encountered the prevailing easterly gales. The
Constantbie ran 3255 miles in 15-successive days, averaging
217 miles per day ; a very extraordinary run for so many days
successive.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JAN. 4.

'During the last seven days we have had a considerable arrival of
Wheat coastwise, chiefly of free foreign from London and Hull.
The imports comprise also 21,500 qrs of Oats, and 18,560 loads of
Oatmeal from Ireland, On Thursday, previous to the advance of
the impost on Wheat to 20s 8d per quarter, about .410,000 were
stated to have been paid in duties on Wheat and Flour, particulars
of which have not yet appeared in the published Customs' list.
During the former part of the week there had been released from
bond 2600 qrs. of Wheat, 338 qrs. of Barley, 1015 qrs. of Beans,
687 qrs. of Peas, and igso Wis. of Flour. With a moderate de-
mand, which has continued to include purchases for shipments to
Ireland, old Wheat has maintained its value, but new has been sold
on rather easier terms than holders would submit to last week. A
fair business has been done in American free Flour at 42s 6d to
43s 6d per brl.: 31s 6d per brl. has been paid in bond. The large
supplies of Oats and Oatmeal have somewhat depressed the value
of both articles. Thebest melding Oats will not exceed 38 10d, and
good may be bought at 3s 8d to 3s gct per 451bs. Oatmeal 54s to
35s per 2401b5. No change as respects Barley, Beans or Paas.

MR. SPRING RICE.

That pert, smirking, smiling personage, sitting near Lord
John Russell, is Mr. Spring Rice. • His, features are sharp,
and he has' a quick expression of countenance. If he be not
pleased with the state of affairs as regards the• government,
or with the house, there is at least one subject which you feel
assured affords him infinite satisfaction, and that is himself.
He is not a bad speaker, and is a very serviceable member of
the government—it is said, however,'that heis the most un-
popular member in the house.

SIR FRANCIS DURDETT.

You observe an elderly, and rather remarkable-looking,
man, sitting on one of the back benches, on the opposition
side. He wears a white hat, is dressed like a sportsman, and
has a riding-whip in his hand. That is Sir Francis Burdett.
His face is red, his nose long and prominent, his eyes small
and sunk, his hair white, and his forehead very high. The
John Bell, in describing him at a public meeting some years
ago, compared him to " a snipe out of season.'' He is a
capital picture of an old English gentleman, and a perfect
gentleman he is, of which he has every appearance. Ile
looks, too, like a thoroughly-independent man. There are
none in the house who can at all compete with him in this
respect.

ART OF FLOATING..-Ally human being who will have the
presence of mind to clasp the bands behind the back, and
turn the face towards the zenith, may float at ease, and in
perfect safety, in tolerably still water—ay, and sleep there,
no matter how long. If, not knowing how to twim, you
would escape drowning, when you find yourself in deep water,
you have only to consider yourself au empty pitcher • let
your mouth and nose—not the top part of your heavy head—
be the highest part of you, and you are safe ; but thrust up
one of your bony hands, and down you go—turning up the
handle tips over the pitcher. Having had the happiness to
prevent one or two drownings by this simple instruction, we
publish it for the benefit of all who either love acquatic
sports, or dread them.—Walker.

FIRE AT BRIDGE-HALL PAPER-MILLS NEAR BURY.—
A dreadful fire broke out on the premises belonging to
Messrs. James Wrigley and Son, at Bridge-hall Paper-
mills) on Sunday last, which at first threatened the des-
truction of the whole of the premises, but, owing to the
exertions of Messrs. Wrigley's neighbours, and the in-
habitants of Bury, along with the soldiers and police
stationed in the town, and by the great advantage of a
staircase which went tip to the roof of the building, the fire
was arrested in its progress when about half the building had
been destroyed. It would not, however, have been stopped
when it was but for the number of fire-engines and plentiful
supply of water which were upon the premises ; there were
no fewer than eleven engines working at once, all of which
were private property belonging to the mills round Bury.
We are happy to add that- the Premises are insured ; also
the stook to the full amount of the loss ; and as the fire did
not extend to that part of the mill where the machinery is
situated, -the works will not be stopped more than three or
four days. We understand the loss will be from £3,000 to
£4,000 to the three insurance offices in which the property
was insured.—Munchester Guardian.

PRIESfLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA

A pure transparent solution, in which all the-virtues of
that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid
and Cooling Medicine for grown persons or children it can-
not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will
take it without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of
Citron it forms an effervescing draught.
The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le-
monade, and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can
be more agreeable.
PRIESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS.

Thege pills are purely Vegetable, and to those troubled with
Endigestion or sensation► of fulness at the stomach after meals
ley are invaluable.—ln Boxes at Is. and 2s. 6d. each.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL

Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and
renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou-
rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau-
tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft-
ness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in Bottles
at Is. 3d. and 3s. each.
CHEMICAL MARKING INK,
For Writing on Linen with a Common Pen.

This is very suporior to the generality of what are called
Permanent Inks. It gives a most brilliant black, which can-
not be removed by acids or any other causes, without at the
same time destroying the linen. Families may be accommo-
dated with the Improved Permanent Ink and Preparation
separately, if required.—Sold in Cases, Is. 6d. and 3s.
VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.

A pleasant Tonic Tooth Powder, which simply removes all
tartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and by its peculiar
properties preserves that necessary covering.—Sold in Boxes,
2s. 6d.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.

j PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
el e particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the
Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID-
LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet
discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The
style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is pe-
culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac-
curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEST-
LEY, No. 52, Lord-street. where also may be had Seidlitz
Powders in Packets.

THE ROODEE-CHESTER.

(From the Chester Gazette.)
The establishment of the races at Chester is of great anti-
quity. We find mention made of them in our annals at a
very early period. There is a remarkable note of them in
the year 1609, when, we apprehend, the present races were
commenced. During the mayoralty of Mr. J. Leicester,
Mr. Amery, the sheriff of the preceding year, gave three sil-
ver cups to be run for on St. George's Day. Two of the
cups were to be given to the first and second horses,
while the other was to be run for the same, upon the said
Roodee, upon St. George's Day-7-being thus decreed " that
every horse putt so much monie as made the value of the

At the Roodee the ancient city games were celebrated.

stood upon it from the cross which stood at St. Peter's
Church. The cross marked the boundary of the land belong-

SECOND EDITION.

Standard-office, Three o'clock.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,--THIS DAY.
We have no Wheat or Flour to report from Ireland since
the sth inst.; and of other articles thence and generally
Coastwise, the arrivals are unusually small ; while of foreign
produce we have merely to notice 5685 qrs. of Wheat, 26 qrs.
of Barley from Europe, and 600 barrels of Flour from the
American States.

The duty on foreign 'Wheat is again raised to 16s. Bd. per
qr., on Flour to 108. Old. per barrel, and reduced on Beans
to 6s. 6d. per qr., remaining in all other respects the same as
last week.

From the Ist to the stb inst. inclusive, 21,649 qrs. of foreign
Wheat, 5938 qrs. of Barley, and 23,816 barrels of Flour, were
released from bond here ; since then a further large amount
of duties have been paid, the particulars of which are not yet
officially declared.

In the course of yesterday we had a fine genial rain for
several hours, and with warm forcing weather since, the im-
proved face of the country is already apparent : notwith-
standing which, arid the large quantity of foreign Wheat and
Flour, now available for consumption, the trade has remained
firm, and since Tuesday a fair extent of business has been
transacted.

At our market this morning good descriptions of duty-paid
foreign Wheat, although by no means in lively request, were
taken off upon a moderate scale, principally by our local
millers at the full rates of Tuesday, and in a few partial in-
stances, a slight advance was realized ; but on country or
Irish account, we had little passing to-day, and English as
well as Irish Wheat, appeared to meet very little attention.
To the exclusion of home-made and Irish Flour, free Ame-
rican commanded a fait steady sale at our last quotations.
although the stock in bond is now mostly entered for con-
sumption.

Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, continued to rule nearl
the same as yesterday.

Oats, in the absence of fresh supplies and very few offer-
ing from Granary, were held on rather higher terms, but
being taken off sparingly, it was difficult to obtain any actual
amendment ; and to the trade fur Oatmeal similar remarks
were applicable.

good business
for some time past, and the number of buyers at present in
town is more than usually large.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MAY sTH.—This market to-
day may fairly be termed animated, there being -
many Lon-
don, Irish, and Leeds buyers present, who bought freely of
qualities
all sorts of saleable goods, especially in superior-
and
new styles ; in fact, the supply in fresh goods was not equal
to the demand. Prices, however, do not much improve ; but
now that the demand is greater than the supply, it rests with
the producers mainly as to what remuneration they get for
goods to order. Wools were very firm, and the demand is
greater. Business in the warehouses is rather better. On
the whole, improvement is certain, but very gradual.—
Manchester Guardian.
BLACKBURN.—During the past week a slight improve-
ment has taken place in some descriptions of band-loom
goods ; but with this exception we are not aware of anything
either in cloth or yarns that has at all changed for the better ;
and with respect to some fabrics of power-loom goods the
manufacturer is doing worse than he was six or eight weeks
ago.—Blackburn Standard.

We have heard it stated that, for the last forty years, a
seed-time of such extreme benignity has not been experienced
in this country. Whether this be the case or not we do not
pretend to say ; but it is quite certain, at all events, that one
more propitious for the labours of the farmer could not be
wished for. The last few days have been as full of warmth
as though we were in the month of July, and the country is
already bursting into beauty, and becoming rich in the leafy
treasures of summer. The great proportion of the agricul-
tural operations are well advanced to completion, and a few
days more fine weather will finish much of the farm-work in
this district, so far as sowing and planting are concerne4.—
