TO ME EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—My object in addressing you, is to call, through the
medium of your valuable columns, the attention of the proper
authorities to the shameful state of a portion of Park-street,
Park-road, in which are four unfinished houses, known as
" Jerry built." They are now in a very dangerous state, hav-
ing for a length of time been going to decay, and as a part of
them fell during the last winter, I am anxious that the annoy-
ance should be remedied before the return of that season. Tho
pathway in front of them is also very dangerous, the areas re-
maining open and entirely unprotected, myself and neighbours
being constantly obliged to warn our friends to keep in the
middle of the street for safety.
We are now within the borough of Liverpool, vet have not a
single lamp in the whole street, although rated very high for
lighting. This inconvenience is much felt by a portion of the
congregation of the church of St. John the Baptist, who are
in the habit of coining out at the north gate in Park-street. I
suggest a lamp should be placed as near as possible to this en-
trance, consistently with the arrangement which may be made
for their distances from each other. By the bye I observed in
your paper of Tuesday last, the Town-clerk decided in the
council that the inhabitants of West Derby had no right to pay
for lights if they had them not. I consider the same remark
applies to -Toxteth Park. The sooner these hints are attended
to the better fur the public, and yours, &c.,

On Monday Lord Elliot attended Wadebridge fair, and can
vassed the farmers there, from whom he obtained upwards of 30
promises in less than an hour. His lordship dined at the ordi-

was received with the most enthusiastic applause.—Cornwall

The tomb of Queen Catherine Parr was lately opened, and
the body and feet have been found as perfect and beautiful as
on the day she died. It appeared that the body had been em-

are now engaged in ascertaining the exact nature of the pre-
paration.

Tun LIBERALS.—Of all tyrants the most harsh, unjust, and
inexorable, are your professing friends or liberty. Only show
us a inan who lays claim to a more than ordinary degree of zeal
on this head, and a thousand to one but he will be found to be in
private life, an unkind husband, a cruel father, a harsh master,
or a faithless friend ; while his loud professions in favour of pub-
lic liberty will be backed and illustrated by the ready advocacy
of measures diametrically at variance with the cant of these
professions.
BRIGHTON, OCT. 30.—Our palace is once more, we are happy
to say, enlivened with the presence of royalty. Their Majesties
arrived on Friday evening, at ten minutes past five o'clock, in
a travelling carriage, direct from Windsor, and were shortly
followed by other •• • • the Earl and Countess
carriages, containing
Brownlow, Sir H. and Lady Taylor, Prince Ernest Phillippsthal,
the Rev. Mr. Wood and fir Andrew Barnard. The arrival of
their Majesties had been preceded by that of a body of the house-
hold troops, who had taken the place of the haniskillen Dra-
goons in the performance of the duty at the palace. Colonel
Lambert is the commanding officer. In the evening there was
a partial illumination.
