Woon SALE.—We perceive that a very large Wood sale
is announced to take place on the Bth. We draw the atten-
tion of buyers and consumers to it. It is gratifying to per-
ceive that Liverpool enjoys so large a share in this important
branch of traffic.

GREAT GEORGE BATHS.—The spirited proprietor of this
establishment has, in, addition to his various vapour and
medicated baths, added one of the artificial sea-water' an
instance of attention to public accommodation which we
trust will be duly appreciated.
NEW SOUTH WALES.—The trade between this port and
-New South'Wales is rapidly increasing; there are now load-
ing eight vessels for Hobart Town, :sydney, and South'
Australia, and all of theta. have good accommodations for
passengers. .
LES CHARMES DE LA VARIETE.—This IS a very neat, and
cl4erly. written little work, and will be found a useful com-
panion in either the ball-room orris-ate party. The figures
of the dances are clearly described, ..nd do the arranger, Mr.
Edgar Webster, much credit.—[lt is not, perhaps, generally
known. that Mr. W. is brother to Mr. Webster, the comedian,
and lessee of the Haymarket Theatre.] t-
. iiii.A•riza ROYAL.—The English vocalists, Miss Shirreff.
and Messrs. Stretton, Wilsod, and Alauvers, have been yerk'''
sell received, drawing good houses. The opera • "
Diavlito" has been twice produced with
.considetiable
and -last evening, the opera of Sminaaibola" was •
broaght out—Amine by Miss Shirreff. Demon is annotinced
to appear on Monday next, when, of course, fresh novelties,
suited to his line of characters, alit he protluccd.•
WALTON FRIENDLY SOCIETY.—OR Monday, the 18th in-
stant, the Walton Vriendly Society held their annual' feast.
In the morning they met together, and marched in regular
order, with Joliffe's excellent 'band at their head, to the re-
sidence of the Rev. Thout4s MOSS, their worthy neighbour awl
vicar, who joined them, and proceeded to the church, where
the rev. gentlenrao preached an admirable sermon from the
7th ch. St. Ilattliew,.v.,l2: " Therefore, all things whatso-
ever ve would that men should do to you, do ye even so to
them; for this is the law and the prophets." After leaving
church. they. went. in marching order to see their neighbours
at Bootle., On their return they were met at the gate leading •
to the'hOsPitable mansion of. George Wright, Esq., by two of
his sons, with each a 'banner,- who conducted them to the
house, whore they were regaled with, some " real double
brown stout," the h,and playing several national airs, and the
society sinAtirg several loyal songs; 'after which they pro-
ceeded to the inn called the " Brown Cow," in Walton;
where the worthy hostess, Mrs. Sherwood, provided them with
a dinner composed of true John Bull luxuries, viz., roast beef
and :plum-pudding.. Many loyal loasts were responded. to'
dUring, the evening, and Wright's real sparkling stingo' was
pushed round to a late hour, when the company separated in.
good humour.
FROOSIIANI AND, NORLEY BAZAAR.—TIie objici of 'this'
splendid Bazaar, to be, held 2nd August, is to raise 'funds for
the support-of the National School for Girls, at Fecidshain,.
and the building and supporting a Sunday 8010'01, in Nor-
lev, in the same, parish. No design can better 'accord with
the feelings of any religious heart; and tve feel ctinfident
that the utmost benevolence will he displayed on 'this occa-
sion. Articles of taste and vertu for the curious and fash-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIFERPOOL STANDARD.
Sitt,—l wish, through the Inetliutu of valuable co-
lumns to ask a 'question or two relative to the state of things
in St. James's Market.. . .

. .
1. Is it-generally. known that the extra Irench.placed in the
principal avenue of the above market, for the. exclusive use
of country People, is nearly occupied by huxters ?
2. Is it generally known thesre huxters pay only Id. per
basket, and that farmers pay 2d.?
3. IT not this a scheme of the buxters, that they may palm
off their stuff as direct from the country?,

4. flas not the fact of the farmer paying double for his
baskets mach of injustice in appearance ?
5. Cannot this state of things be reformed ?
Your, &c., PAUL PRY.

CRUELTY OP THE POLICE.

TO ,THE EDITORIOF THE LIVERPOOL STaND,IRD.

I was much pleased by your sound remarks in your paper
of tbis'morning, the use of the, 'bludgeon by the police
force, because I think that when the preSs brings its artillery
to bear-on any abuse; there is some chance of its being re-
medied. •It is -highly revolting to see the means of inflicting
summary punishment on the unfortunates in the hands,ol
men' who; in mime 'case's, _know no bounds to their cruelty;,
who scruple not to maltreat any one Who may be so unlucky
as to fall into their power; and the
.more incapable he is of
taking care of himielf, the more Will he, be abused._ In-.
stances are common enough in which the police are the wan-•
L.

!prevent a proper knoWlidet of them contingibefore the pub-
one, however, occurred on'Saturday.eVening last, about

man was Most Aat,hgely struck and cut on the head by rt
Ten OrOra dozen'of the bystanders, expressed their
willingness come forward, if a,ny one Would support the:
case, that they might bear testimony to the unwarrantedand

I have -Liken. this method of giving publicity to the affair, in
