'ORRESP

DENT.

MONDAY MORNING.

THERE is no doubt whatever that the junior Treasury
Lord's defeat at the hands of an Trish constituency, over

which, for so many years, he exercised almost magical
control, has caused considerable annoyance and disap-

to more than

pointment in Ministerial circles, a
one Cabinet consultation. Lord ABERDEEN is very sore
indeed at the result of the Carlow electon, and the diffi-
culty of finding out a seat for .I.lr. SADLEIR is said to be so
involved, that even the boasted talents of the great coali-
tionists fail to master it. Up to last Wednesday week all

went on swimmingly with the RUSSELL-A=ERDEENITES,
who accepted office and presented themselves on the hus-
tings for re-election ; but the good old Tories of Carlow,
aided by the "great Bishop of the West," as that huge
quack Quaker, FRED. LUCAS, designates AP HALE,
thought it high time to upset the Ministerial chariot, and
they certainly succeeded with a vengeance. As a matter
of course,Masters CorrocK and HATTER intend getting up

petitions against ALEXANDER'S return. The subject was dis-
cussed at the Reform Club, in secret conclave, on Friday
night, when JOHN SADLEIR made his appearance among
his political friends, and recounted the various devices by
which hehad been robbed of his ho-^

parliamentary ti.

tle. But it seems, according to rather authoritative rumour,
that we are to have something more formidable than com-
monplace pellets pelted at the chosen of the Carlow
Tories and their new frier' -a-place Tenant-

the Beresfo

suers. Lord ABERDEEN thinks an example should be
de of that section of the Irish people who cffered insult
his Government, by rejecting their newly-installed
,asury Officer. When Parliament meets, ail the cir-

cumstanccs connected with th, recent contest are to be
brought under the consideration of the House of Com-
mons, as the basis for demanding the appointment of a

committee of enquiry, with a view to no lers an important

BEERHOUSES AND SINGING ROOMS.

Tun great moral and social evils arising from the preva-
lence of cheap singing-rooms in Liverpool, attached to
public-houses and beer-shops, has led to the formation of
a " Liverpool Association for securing the better regula-
tion of Houses of Public Entertainment." John Crop-
per, Esq., is the president, and there is also an influential
committee, comprising some of the leading Clergymen of
the town. A. petition to Parliament is now in course of
signature, and the object of the association may be
gathered from the prayer of it, which is as follows :
" Your petitioners pray your honourable house to grant
to magistrates, or other local authorities, an effective
check over the issue of licenses for the sale of beer; and
at the same time to take out of the hands of licensed vic-
tuallers and beerhouse-keepers the providing of public
amusements for the people, at present undertaken with a
view to the promotion of tippling, by extending to the
whole kingdom certain provisions of the 25th George 11.,
(by which a license is required for the opening of any
place of public amusement, within the cities of London
and Westminster,) and by rendering unlawful the sale or
consumption of any kind of intoxicating liquor in any
place so licensed for public amusement."
It can need but little argument to show the importance
of providing some effectual remedy against the growing
evil complained of; and the difficulty of legislation on the
subject is considerably lessened by an act which partially
meets the case being already in existence for the metropo-
lis, but which requires to be extended to other large
towns.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1853-02-01

sent 'for investment here without any regard to the
theory of our Manchester contemporary. Apply
the case to America, and it will not be much al-
tered ; for the United States is only too glad of a
market for her Cotton, as the Manchester men are
desirous of a market for their produce. Our con-
temporary cuts down his own argument by refer-
ring to the payment required for the large impor-
tations of foreign corn ; so that, according to his
own showing, had it not been for the gold supplies
from Australia, the rate of interest would have been
much higher than it is, and, therefore, they have
had the effect predicted. His concluding remark
about gold being only capital in the same sense as
Cotton, or Wool, or Sugar, is much of the same
character as the foregoing, leaving us little surprise
at the mental calibre of Manchester men when re-
presented by such an organ. The latter articles
' constitute the materials for actual consumption, and
vary in market value according to the comparative
supply and demand ; whereas gold, as the standard
of value and medium of exchange, circulates from
hand to hand, being in a very slight degree actually
consumed, serving over and over again, and finding
a market everywhere for any article that may be
required. Our contemporary has much to learn
before his value as a commercial oracle will be com-
mensurate with his pretensions, and he should con-
tent himself with inflated laudations of the theories
of the Manchester School.

THE LICENSING SYSTEM

THE Magis

Itrates of Liverpool ha

ing appointed a Sub-

Committee to consider the present system of licensing
public-houses, have received their report, and agreed to a
series of resolutions recommending the abolition of the
present system ; the throwing open of the trade upon
payment of a certain annual sum ; the restriction of the
license to the individual to whom it is granted, without

power of transfer, except to widow or son, until the next
licensing day ; and the merging of beer-house licenses
into the proposed new system. With every respect for
the magisterial wisdom which dictated these resolutions,
we have the strongest objections to their adoption. The
throwing open the trade would at once put an end to the
investment of capital for superior houses of accommoda-
tion, by increasing the competition, while the charge
being simply an annual payment, would operate as a great
injustice to the small trader when compared with the
larger one. What is chiefly required is a more active
authority by the Magistrates for the removal of licenses
where the number of public-houses is too many, into
increasing neighbourhoods where they may be wanted.
A. more strict surveillance should also be kept over the
management of public-houses, so that a forfeiture of
license may follow a breach of the regulations. In the
plan proposed, however, a great sacrifice must be made
by the owners of property, from such houses being gene-
rally constructed purposely for the trade, which could not
be the case if licenses were merely personal.

HORTICULTURE.

A week of tolerably dry weather has allowed the out-of-
door operations to be commenced in some gardens. The
most advisable beginning this season will be to raise the
soil of the flower beds deeply but lightly with the fork so
as to facilitate evaporation. Many of our spring favourites
are pushing forth much earlier than usual ; even in this
cold and bleak locality snowdrops are in full bloom, roses
open from time to time, crocuses are sbewing their
flowers, the Winter Aconite has done flowering, and the
various primulas are opening their buds, violets are in
full flower, and the beautiful hardy shrub Pittosporum
tobirum, which ought to be in every garden, is covered
with its exquisitely fragrant blossoms, but our plant-
houses, owing to the want of sun and the excessive damp-
ness, are much duller than usual at this season. This is
a good opportunity for giving a supply of manure to
roses ; it should be old and well mixed with well rotted
turf and loam. Our readers will be glad of the following
valuable suggestion respecting one of our most favourite
winter plants :
Eitphortia Jacquinifora.—Allow me to offer a few re-
marks upon this valuable winter-flowering stove plant,
which, if well-managed, in my estimation, stands un-
rivalled. Nevertheless, one scarcely ever meets with a
well-grown plant ; they are generally very tall and de-
ficient of good foliage; the only point left to recom-
mend them is their long wreath of orange scarlet blos-
soms near the ends of the shoots—certainly an object
r edtifbuyl flmoewreelrys.
stopping Howworthy of admiration, but how much more would the
plantsiie plantot
s b e
wphre,
ol-
plant be admired if it formed a well-grown bush, display-
ing its fine dark green pencilled foliage along with its
dbeu
young. 7am aware that many consider it wrong to stop
this plant, or Begonia fuchsioides; but as I have tried
both ways,l certainly give the preference to stopping. •
I have at ,the,present time plants grown on both plans,

CATTLE MARKETS

SALFORD, JAN. 26.-At to-day's market there was a de-
crease of 310 Beasts and 570 Sheep ; but the general quality of
both kinds of stock was good. There was a tolerably good
attendance of buyers, and the Beef trade was rather brisk
throughout the day, at, in some instances, rates slightly over
the quotations. A good clearance was made. Although the
supply of Sheep was not a large one, the demand was some-
what languid, but last week's prices were fully maintained.
Nearly all were disposed of. Of Calves, there was an increase,
but all were sold early at .former rates.-Beasts, first quality,
sid. to sid. ; second, 4id. to 54d. ; inferior, 4d. to 40. Sheep,
sid. to 7d. Calves, 54d. to 6d.-Beasts, 1,460 ; Sheep, 4,694 ;
Calves, 120.
LEEDS, JAN. 26.-At this day's market we had 670 head of
Cattle, of fair quality, and a good attendance of buyers. Nearly
the whole were sold at advancing rates, viz., Os. Bd. to 7s. and
7s. 4d., and some in very prime condition realised 7s. Bd. per
16 lb. Sheep, 4,400; all cleared off at 6d. to fully 7d. per lb.
DUBLIN, JAN. 27.-We had a short supply to-day of Beef
and Mutton, which sold readily, and the clearance over early.
Beef, 4-Is. to 505., and prime 51s. per cwt. ; Mutton, sd. to
54d., 64d. to 60. ; Veal, 7d. per lb., all sinking offal. The Pig
market, from the demand, was very busy, at 455. to 465. Bd.
per cwt. 725. 6d. each were given for Sheep to-day, and two
guineas upwards for heavy Pigs. Mitch Cows and Calves also
commanded good sales.

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

MONDAY NIGHT.
IT is now pretty generally acknowledged that the
advance in the rate of discount by the directors of
the Bank of England was simply a measure of
precaution, and this view is further confirmed by
the continued steadiness of the public funds, and
the absence of all alarm as to commercial security.
Indeed, the general state of trade may be considered
more than ordinarily satisfactory, especially in our
staple article Cotton, the market for which has
maintained its firmness without showing any undue
tendency to extravagant speculation. With refe-
ference to monetary affairs, our attention has been
drawn to an article in the Manchester Guardian of
Wednesday last, which displays the utter incompe-
tency of our contemporary to treat upon a subject
upon which he assumes to be an authority. A
short time since we exposed the folly of his con-
clusions on the extraordinary speculations in the
Corn trade, and we have now a further proof of his
verdant ideas. He commences with a wholesale
accusation against the Protectionists of having pre-
dicted a reduction of the rate of interest as a ne-
cessary consequence of the increasing supplies of
gold,—a belief which he admits was largely shared
in by many others, and then exultingly refers to the
late advances in the rate of interest as a complete
falsification of the hope. There is an old proverb,
" Do not halloo until you are out of the wood ;"
and our contemporary would have done well if he
had followed the advice. The rise in interest was a
precautionary measure especially directed against
thegambling
in the funds in Paris, and in Iron in
England; proved no check to legitimate has it
com-
merce, and the increased supply of gold will yet
have the effect anticipated when it comes to be ac-
tually realised, which has not yet been the case.
lie then proceeds to argue, with an increased degree
oft absurdity, surdity, that we only import gold like any
; and says, if we receive more in gold we
ortceodmmodity in exchange for our manufactures
exp
receive less in Sugar, Cotton, Wool, and other
commodities. Such an assertion is almost too pre-
posterous for seriousreit of d refutation. Has Australia, in
e
doubt of the England, withheld any of
her supplies of Wool, for which there is here such
a ready market, from fear thatbin sending gold also
the balance of trade would e too much in her
favour ? She has been anxious to send all she can
realise, and many a consignment of gold will be

CREWE.

THE LATE CHARLES LAWRENCE, ESQ.

Tue death of this lamented gentleman has been deeply
regretted by the inhabitants of Crewe. As a tribute of
respect to his memory, the ensign was displayed half-mast
high on the church, and the bell tolled at intervals till the
period of his interment. A funeral sermon was also
preached on Sunday last, by the Rev. E. Hastie, curate
of the district, from the words, "The faithful fail from,
among the children of men."—Psalm xii, 1. After dwel-
ling particularly on the many benefits which the town has
derived from the late Mr. Lawrence, he noticed the duty
of faithfulness to the obligations which worldly influence
and the possession of the world's goods impose. The late
lamented gentleman was mainly instrumental in originating
the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, which, by its
success, gave so great an impulse to the construction
and extension of railways. The town of Crewe, with
upwards of five thousand inhabitants, has sprung up
within the last ten years, in consequence of the London
and Northwestern Company having erected there their
works, which, for the temporal and spiritual welfare of
the inhabitants, and the promotion of their best interests,
Mr. Lawrence ever manifested the deepest anxiety. He
was a steady and liberal supporter of the church and
schools : his donations to the Mechanics' Institution', and
the religious societies connected with the place, were most
munificent. Though his loss is deeply lamented, there
will still be found in Crewe a lasting memorial of those
labours and exertions, which were continued to a period
of life to which but few attain.
