MEXICO

The Mexican packets brings accounts from the city of
Mexico to the 26th of May, and from Vera Cruz to the 29th.
This packet brings only 230,000 dollars on merchants' ac-
count. The republic was in a state of tranquillity, excepting
in the far distant province of Yucatan, where the federalists
were still carrying on operations. But that extensive ter-
ritory is so thinly peopled, probably not exceeding 50,000
souls, and those almost altogether aboriginal Indians, and
withal at so great a distance from Mexico, or any powerful
state of the federation, that the turmoil there created in the
capital or government no greater sensation than a chartist
riot in a country town would here. If the federalists suc-
ceed in gaining the ascendancy, they will probably proclaim
the independency of the country as a sovereign state, and
after the farce has been carried on for a few months, another
bloodless revolution will bring matters back to their former
footing of a reunion with, and submission to, the republic.
Merchants will be glad to learn that the government had it in
contemplation to abolish the 15 per cent. additional duty on
goods for internal transit and consumption which had been so
much complained of, and in effect had contributed to paralyse
the trade and diminish the receipts of the custom-houses at
the ports. An amount of certificates given here in exchange
for coupons, in pursuance of the conversion of the debt ef-
fected by the agents. had been received and presented at the
custom-houses of Vera Cruz and Tampico, equal to nearly
£lOO,OOO, nearly the whole of which had been taken in and
absorbed in payment of customs duties. Hereafter, accord-
ing to previous agreement, and to avoid the inconveniences
-of not being able to make remittances as provision for the
dividends here, from the uncertainty of the proportion which
might be wanted of the custom-house receipts set apart for
the purpose, to meet the admission of their certificates in
Mexico, their emission is to cease, and the remittances are to
be made direct, which—will tend beneficially to simplify' the
business for all parties. The Mexican government has so far
fulfilled its late engagements with honour and punctuality,
and so long as those at present at the head of affairs remain
there is every reasonable guarantee for the public confidence
in future.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

By the Hawk, arrived at Deal, advices have been received
from the Cape of Good Hope to the 17th of May. The
small-pox still continued its ravages. From an abstract of
the revenue accounts it appears that the customs for 1839
showed an increase of £5,000 above those for 1838. The
singularity is recorded of a Caifre chief applying to the courts
of justice for damages on account of injury, done to his cha-
racter flora libel, which was regarded with favour as an ap-
proach to civilization in preferring the legal and authorised
mode to more violent and barbarous means of revenge for
wrong inflicted

RE-ORGANIZATION OF THE CHARTISTS.
late defeats experienced by,the chartists, nor the imprison..
ment of their leaders, and transportation of their chiefs, have
broken their spirits, or fill them with despair ; on the con-
trary, they are again in the field, and are collecting their
scattered forces under the banner of (as they term it) moral
and passive resistance. They have already determined upon
a convention being held at Manchester, and have elected de-
legates
to sit on it. On Wednesday night they held an open
air meeting on Clerkenwell Green, when a man named Spur
was chosen to represent the working men of London. They
intend forming a society for securing, at the next general
election, the return of such candidates as are chartists. No
matter whether their favourite candidates be confident or not
of being returned, the chartists will carry them to the poll,
and get for them as many votes as possible. In places which
return only one member, they will rely upon their own
strength ; but where two members are returned, they will
endeavour to join with the whig or tory party, so as to secure
the return of at least one chartist member to parliament. A
fund will be immediately raised for defravin,, +L.

FOREIGN SUGAR

(From the London Journal of Commerce)

The short supply of colonial sugar has at last brought
the sugars of Cuba and Brazil into the market for
home consumption, on payment of the heavy differen-

nion, has arrived for the temporary opening of the ports
to all foreign sugars, otherwise it is perfectly clear that

REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SlR,—Great as the efforts of the Popish priests and radi-
cals have been, to place on the register great numbers of the
lowest Irish, and others, by paying their taxes ; those efforts
are nothing in comparison with the exertions they will use
when the day of election arrives. They will then—where
they cannot persuade by their deceptive arts—use threats
and compulsion; and when these fail, they will resort to
bribery. lam credibly informed that a certain person of
that party has said he will spend £5,000 to return two mem-
bers for this borough. It therefore behoves every conserva-
tive to be upon the alert in order to prevent the partyfalsely
styling themselves reformers" from accomplishing their
wish. It will doubtless be a great object with our present
chief magistrate to add M.P. to his newly-fledged honours
but I trust he will not be suffered to obtain the honour of
representing Liverpool. I have heard it stated that he ac-
tually shed tears at the last general election, when chairman
of the Reform Association, so much was he grieved to find
that he could only secure about 600 out of 3,000 old freemen.
Every exertion will be used by the radicals to increase that
number at the ensuing election, but I have no fear of the
" old freemen" swerving from the cause of truth, justice,
and the real interests of the country, to vote for a candidate,
even if that candidate has added to his name " the empty
title" of Sir! ! !

Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal
from Ireland have again been very small, but of Wheat and Flour
from Foreign parts, and of Wheat and Malt Coastways, they have
been to a very pretty fair extent.
Notwithstanding the settled appearance of the weather, noticed
this day week, it has rained heavily part of almost every day or
night since, though the temperature has been a little warmer—
thus continuing wet for the last four weeks, it is now becoming
very injurious to a considerable portion of the Hay still unsecured;
and it is reported to be forcing the crops of Grain into straw;
rendering them very liable to be laid, while the deficiency of sun-
shine and summer heat prevents them from progressing in ripe-
ness, and of course postpones the approaching harvest, the com-
mencement of which, in the northern districts, it is at present
impossible to anticipate ; in consequence of which, we have
experienced a .very steady demand for every article in the Corn
trade, free and in bond, during the past week ; a small advance has
been demanded, and in some instances obtained, but sales have
not been very active nor extensive, although some purchases of
Wheat and of Oatmeal have been made for export to Ireland and
Scotland.

The duty on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, and Rye from
Foreign ports has increased since Friday last is tid per quarter—on
Oats and Peas it has decreased Is 6d per quarter—on other kinds
of Grain there is no alteration ; it is now very likely that the duty
on Wheat will be decreased to 16s 8d per quarter, on Friday next;
some very considerable parcels of Wheat, (chiefly Russian,) and of
American and European Flour, free and in bond, have changed
hands at fully last quoted prices ; and on Oats, in bond, duty will
now be paid, anti they will find a steady demand for Provender.
At this day's market there was a pretty good attendance, but
notwithstanding the advance yesterday in Mark-lane, and a con-
tinuance of unsettled weather here, we had a less active market,
and the transactions were to a much less extent than anticipated ;
sales however were effected to a moderate extent of Wheat and
Flour, free and in bond, at an advance of about 3d per 701 b. on the
former, and of about 6d per barrel on the latter; Oatmeal was Is
to is 6d per 240 lb. and Oats about ld per 451 b. higher; the prices
of other articles were fully supported.

Speak it not lightly !—though the young and gay
Are thronging round thee now, with tones of mirth,
the holy promise of to-day
fade like the clouds that with the worn have birth,
But ever bright and sacred may it be,
Stored in the treasure-cell of memory.
Life will not prove all sunshine : there will come
Dark hours for all : 0 will ye, when the night
Of sorrow gathers thickly round your home,
Love as ye did, in times when calm and bright
Seem'd the sure path ye trod, untouched by care,
And deemed the future like the present fair!
Eyes that now beam with health, may yet grow dim,
And cheeks of rose forget the early glow ;
Languor and pain assail each active limb,
And lay perchance, some worship'd beauty low ;
Then will ye gaze upon the altered brow,
And love as fondly, faithfully as now !
Should fortune frown on your defenceless head,
Should storms o'ertake your bark on life's dark sea ;
Fierce tempests rend the sail so gaily spread,
When Hope her syren strain sang joyously;
Will ye look up, though clouds your sky o'ercast,
And say, " together we will bide the blast?"
Age, with its silvery locks comes stealing on,
And brings the tottering step, the furrow'd cheek,
The eye from whence each lustrous gleam hath gone,
And the pale lip, with accents low and weak ;
Will ye then think upon your life's gay prime,
And smiling, bid Love triumph over Time?
Speak it not lightly ! Oh ! beware, beware !
'Tis no vain promise, no unmeaning word ;
Lo! men and angels lisp the faith ye swear,
And by the high and holy ONE 'tis heard ;
O then kneel humbly at His altar now,
And pray for strength to keep your marriage vow !

COASTING FORMS AND DILLS OF LADING,

Every one rejoices to infer, from some late medical ap- 11
pointpaents, that the person to whose ignorance and intrigue'
poor Lady Flora Hastings was sacrificed, has at length met t
with his deserts.
The governor of Guadaloupe issued a decree on 30th May
last, whereby 107 slaves, men, women, and children, were
emancipated. The governor of French Guiana, by similar
decrees, since 29th December last, has enfranchised 49 slaves.
THE ADVANTAGES OF EARLY TRAINING.—The follow-
ing dialogue is reported:to have passed at the Queen's comity
assizes between a medical witness and a barrister :—" Mr.
Hayes (the barrister).-1f a person lying on wet straw were
deprived of all the comforts or necessaries of life, would it
not hasten death ?" Dr. Edge.—" That would greatly de-
pend on whether they had been accustomed to them." Mr..
Hays.--" Do you mean to tell us that if a person lived in a.
horsepond, it would not be injurious to him?" Dr. Edge.--
" I think not, if he had lived for 60 or 70 years in it."
CHAR.—In the autumn of last year T. Upton, Esq., off
Ingtnire.hall, near Sedbergh, put into his lake, Lilley Merr„

LIVERPOOL INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT

The court for the relief of insolvent debtors, within the I
borough of Liverpool, commenced yesterday in the sessions Silt
house, before J.' G. Harris, Eso..

iiavuKell as is in tne pounu, Out he bad frequently known
assignments made in which there was no release. If there
were none in this, every one of those creditors must appear
in the insolvent's schedule. He recommended Mr. Plumbe,
as a rule of practice, not to propound a schedule at all.where
there was an assignment, without having a copy of the assign-
ment along with it. It never could be save. The case was
then postponed. _

Bernard Murphy and Michael Riley were unopposed.
These parties had had dealings together in pigs, and their
debts were inconsiderable. A person in Blackburn was
named in Riley's schedule as owing him £5O for bacon, pigs,
&c., but on being questioned, the insolvent stated that this
person had written him a letter offering a composition of ss.
in the pound.

The 'COMMISSIONER asked where this letter was. Had it
been filed with the schedule?
Mr. PLUMB. (the insolvent's attorney), said his clerk,
who could answer the question, was out of court serving a
subpoena, but he would be back presently.
The COMMISSIONER directed all Mr. Plumbe's cases to
stand overfill Wednesday morning,

0-
Jonas Ainley, tailor, was opposed by Mr. JAMES, for
Messrs. Morris and Co. After a short hearing the insolvent
was declared entitled to his discharge.

Charles Hawkesworth was opposed by Mr. JAMES, and
supported by Mr. VENABLES. The insolvents' debts
amounted to ;£lllB. It appeared that he had been engaged
in building and other transactions, in the course of which
certain deeds were made relative to a house, furniture, and
other property at Seaforth. These deeds were mentioned in
the insolvent's schedule, but, in answer to the Commissioner,
Mr. PLUMBE stated that no one had been subpoenaed to
prove them except an accountant.
The COMMISSIONER ordered the insolvent to be committed
until the case could come properly before the court. Not a
single person had been subpoenaed in a case where at least
three or four witnesses would be necessary.
Wm. Ashton was opposed by Mr. VENABLES, on the part
of a number of creditors. The insolvent in this case was re-
manded for judgment for making away with property, unless
the £lOO should be paid into court, or the property given up.
—Mr. Hickson was appointed assignee.
The following were unopposed, and they were ordered to
be discharged :—Thomas Walton, Ebenezer Irwin, Richard
Wilding, Charles Nicholls, John Neale, John Wreford Hunt,
James Downham, Wm. John Scollay.
Edward Fox, who was opposed, was remanded till Wednes-
day morning, to produce Mrs. Kelly and the detaining cre-
ditor.—Joseph Salisbury was remanded till this morning
(Tuesday) to produce Mr. Ansdale.
The Commissioner having been taken unwell about one
o'clock, Mr. Venables presided for him from that hour. The
court adjourned about four o'clock.

STATE OF TRADE

LEEns.—Notwithstanding the failures and rumours of
failures with which the town has been rife during the week, the
transactions at our markets have been more extensive than fcr
some time past, the principal portion of the purchases being
for foreign consumption. We can scarcely note any altera-
tion in prices, though the markets have assumed a somewhat
firmer aspect.
BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a better attendance of
buyers at market, and rather more
.business was done here
on Thursday, particularly in manufactured goods of the lower
qualities. In the yarn market there was also a fair demand
for yarns of inferior counts and quality. In the wool market
there was an average business done, at former rates ; indeed,
throughout the entire market there was an unusual firmness
with regard to prices. From this we augur favourably as to
the future.
HECKNONDWIKE BLANKET HALL.—There has been more
business done the last few market days than for some time
past, but without any improvement in prices, and until an
advance takes place, the manufacturers are not' benefited by
an increased demand.—Leeds Intelligencer.
LANCASHIRE.—The trade at Bolton may be said to be
rather better than it was a fortnight ago : the hands in the
cotton mills certainly have more work, but wages are lower
than they were. Mechanics and machine-makers are much
the same as we stated a few weeks since. The woollen and
cotton trades at Bury are in a moderately healthy state, and
hands generally are fully employed. The calico block prin-
ters are slack. The flannel trade of Rochdale is in a depressed
state ; indeed it has not been so dull for many years past :
good flannel weavers when fully employed, cannot earn more
than from six to eight shillings per week ; but many are to-
tally without work, and manufacturers scarcely know how to
act. The cotton trade, although rather flat, is much better
than the woollen business. The batting trade at Oldham, at
present, is dull ; hands, on an average, have not more than
four or five days' work per week. At Royton, this week, at
two mills hands have commenced working short time (five
days per week.) At Ashton-under-Lyne, Hyde, Newton,
&c., hands iu cotton factories have full employment, but
wages have lately undergone a reduction of 10 per cent. and
upwards. There is great distress at Stockport. The silk
trade in the neighbouring towns to Manchester is as good as
can be expected, and, generally, weavers are moderately em-
ployed ; but silk dyers at some few shops have not more than
four days' work per week.

THE NEW CORPORATIONS

(From the Dublin Packet.)

For the purpose .of enabling the reader to form some
notion of the benefits intended for Ireland by the framers of
the bill for transference of the Irish corporations to new
hands, we submit the following account of the valuation of
the metropolis and its environs, or rural districts :

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-08-04

TO be SOLD, by PRIVATZ CONTRACT, a handsome and
substantial stone-built MANSION, in the Gothic style,
with Pleasure Ground, Garden, and Forty Acres of excellent
Grass Land, situate at Hassop, near Bakewell, in the midst
of the varied and picturesque Scenery of the Peak of Derby-
shire.
The House consists of a spacious marble Entrance Hall,
Dining Room, 21 feet by 18 feet, Drawing Room, 23} feet by
18 feet, large and convenient Kitchen, Scullery, and Butler's
Pantry, on the ground floor • also seven Lodging Rooms and
a small Sitting Room or Library above stairs ; with excellent
Cellars. Dairy, and Larder below.
The Outbuildings are commodious and well arranged, and
include Carriage House, Stabling for four Horses, Cow-house,
Saddle and Harness Rooms ; with an abundant supply of
spring and soft Water from pumps in the yard.
The House has been built about seven years, is in perfect
repair, and very handsomely and appropriately finished ; it is
fitted up with marble Chimney-pieces, Stove Grates, Kitchen
Requisites, Steam Apparatus, Hot Air Pipes, Water Closet,
&c., and different parts, of it are supplied with filtered soft
Water from an extensive reservoir on the roof.
'rue Land consists of nearly forty acres of excellent old
pasture and meadow Ground, and abounds with Game, being
in the midst of strict preserves.
The situation of Hassop is sheltered and peculiarly healthy,
and almost a central point for the many agreeable excursions
usually made by tourists in this favourite county. The well
known and justly celebrated Trout Streams, the Wye and the
Derwent, are within two miles of the House, which is also
now brought within an eight hours' drive of the Metropolis ;
being only ten miles distant from the North Midland Railway
Station at Chesterfield. _ _

Hassop is fourteen miles from Sheffield, two from Bake-
well, four from Chatsworth, twelve from Buxton, and twelve
from Matlock Bath ; and the roads in all directions are
excellent.

The Mail between Bakewell and Sheffield passes daily.
The Furniture, a great part of which is modern and of a
superior quality, may be taken, if required, at a valuation.
All further information may be obtained on application to
Mr. JOHN HARRISON, Bakewell.

We continue to be well supplied with Beasts, yet Beef of the
first quality is scarce, and readily sold at full prices. The supply of
Sheep and Lambs was numerous. Prime Heifer Beef 6d, middling

ferior Sid; Lambs 60 to 6d, inferior 53d r tb, sinking the offal.

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-08-04

The Supplies of Grain, &c., either of Foreign or British produce.
have, this week, been very moderate. The receipts from abroad
including 1,860 barrels of Flour from Canada and 1,200 sacks from
the East Indies. The have been released from bond 4,176 quarters'
of Oats, 1,348 quarters Beans, and 1,134 barrels of Flour. The only
change in duties is an advance of is 6d per quarter on Barley. We
have now had several days of fine weather, under the influence of
which prices of free Wheat have rather given way. Yesterday*
purchases were effected at 2d and, in some instances, at 3d per
bushel below the rates of Tuesday, and only a limited amount of
business was done. Free Flour was also fully 6d per barrel cheaper.
As regards these articles in bond, the confidently-expected fall of
duty has kept prices steady, .and several parcels of both have
changed hands. Oats have again been little inquired for, and,
tkough in small supply, have barely sustained previous rates.
Oatmeal, for which the demand for Ireland.has subsided, must also
be quoted is ber load cheaper. Beans and Peas each Is to 2s per
quarter dearer
