How, when upon thy holy ground I tread,
The ghosts of storied ages, flitting by,
Tell o'er the names and actions of the dead,

A volume vast thou art of varied life,
'Within whose ample pages we may read.
Of kindly sympathies--of passion's strife,
Love, hate, content, ambition's burning creed,
The woes that spring from war's ensanguin'd seed,
Chasing each beauty from creation's face,
The smiles and blessings that, benignly freed
By gentle peace, illumine ev'ry place,—
Here, nature's mingled tale, written by time, we trace !

How oft thy walls have been the changing scene
Of life's gay pageant and of death's grim show !
How oft to sceptred monarchs hast thou been
The house of pleasure and the house of woe !
Here, kings have learn'd their regal state to know,
While, all around, shone joy and beauty's bloom—
And here, with pride's repulsive pomp, laid low,
Hast thou beheld them share our common doom,—
Alike, of glory's dream, the birth-place and the tomb !*
The good, the wise, the noble, and the brave,

The poet, touch'd with inspiration's flame,
The master-minds, that Art and Science gave,
To chase the clouds of ignorance and shame—
Those whose renown hath graved their country's name,
In living letters of immortal light ;
That earth may read, upon the scroll of fame,
Have found a dwelling where the shades invite—
Leaving a nation's tears their epitaph to write !

Successive years, as onward they have flown,
Have stamp'd their hoary sanctity on thee ;
Events that History hath made her own,
Our willing homage to thy walls decree ;
The 4., dead, whose tombs around we see,

Hallow the spot in which their ashes dwell—

All things, with strange and potent unity,
Breathe o'er thy visitants devotion's spell!
And awe-inspiring thoughts within our bosoms dwell !

TO CORRESPONDENTS

SUNDAY TRADING.—We have received a communication
from a person who signs his letter " A Hair Dresser,
which states, that the lower order of that profession dese-
crate shamefully the Sabbath.
In common with our neighbour of the Times, the Liverpool
Journal of Saturday last read us a lecture on the duty of
attending to one's own business, which has amused us ex-
cessively. Speaking of the condition of the Workhouse,
which is pronounced a " disgrace to a civilized commu-
nity," the Journal expresses "astounding" surprise that
the official exposure of its condition should have gone so
totally unnoticed in the local press. " The case," says
our vigilant contemporary, " reported in the London Times
was heard on the Monday, and it is surely due to the cha-
racters of the Liverpool Times and Standard, whose pe-
culiar business it was to watch the proceedings of the day
preceding that of their publication, to explain how it was
that they should overlook—of suppression in the absence
of evidence we shall not accuse them—a statement of the
highest importance, and which in every point of view de-
manded the prompt attention of the appointed guardians
of public morals." Then there follows a violent denun-
ciation of the state of the Workhouse, which would have
been the more intelligible if the Journal had read the
text on which he was commenting. He could not, how-
ever, have put himself to that small trouble, or he must
have done so with gross carelessness. From the third
sentence of the report in the London Times he might have
found that the case, instead of being heard on the Monday,
did not take place till Tuesday, long after our paper had
been published.. This explanation will satisfy the public
that we did not neglect our duty on the day in ques-
tion ; or we hope we have convinced even the assi-
nine Journal that he has discovered, in this
'
stance, the phenomenon usually called " a mare's nest.
Is it not " due to the character" of the Liverpool Journal,
" whose peculiar business it is to*watch the proceedings of
the day preceeding that of its publication, to explain how it
was that he should overlook,—of suppression, in the ab-
sence of evidence, we shall not accuse him,"—the proceed-
ings at the meeting of the Blind Asylum on Friday last.
Perhaps the reporter for the Journal could give some ex-
planations on this subject.

THE CROPS.

The statements from all parts of the kingdom as to the
state of the crops are of one uniform character. The hay
crops are prodigious, and the quality first-rate, except in
some very partial cases where meadows on the banks of
rivers have been overflowed. Pulse of all sorts never pro-
mised so luxuriant a return. Wheat, barley, and oats
also promise above an average. The only failure is in the
potato crops ; but this defect has been in many cases suc-
cessfully replaced by turnips ; and after all, with abun-
dance of bread-corn and forage, the potato crop is a mat.
ter of very secondary importance.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—MAIDSTONE.— Our accounts
almost all represent the state of the plantations as some-
what checkered—growing and vigorous, but greatly en-
cumbered with vermin, the abundance of which must,
it would seem, materially interfere with the crops. Far-
leigh.—The hops here are nqin so healthy a state as we
have seen them ; the vermin increases, the smaller leaves
being covered with lice. Mereworth.—The bine in this
parish is looking very well, excepting some pieces where
the bine is short. Should the weather be favourable, we
may ;expect a tolerable crop ; if it should not, the late
honey dews upon them will turn them black. East Peck-
ham.—The hopbine is going on badly, lots of lice and
honey, and, unless an alteration soon takes place, a blight
must follow. Lamberhurst.—The hdps in this neighbour-
hood are looking very favourably,.►Maidstone jourwit.

FRIDAY

On Friday a meeting of delegates was held, at the same
place, tor the purpose of taking into consideration an ab-
stract of the bill for the better protection of property in
Liverpool from fire, as it had been amended by the fire
committee. The chair was occupied by William Brown,
Esq. and about sixteen delegates were present. The pro.
ceedings were commenced with an announcement from
the East India and Cotton Brokers' Associations, to the
effect that they were not in a position to advance money
for the carrying out of the object in view, but that they
hoped voluntary subscriptions from individuals would be
found amply sufficient for all the purposes of the associa-
tion. Mr. Duncan the❑ read over the several clauses of
the bill, which by many of the delegates were considered
of a very burdensome character, so far as fines and im-
prisonments went, and.almost wholly impracticable in
some of its details. The first clause enacted that the
lCouncil were to appoint a committee out of their own
body to carry out the purposes of the act. Upon the mo-
tion of Mr. Drinkwater, it was resolved that an equal
number of the dock ratepayers ought to be associated with
the committee of the Council, one of the latter body act-
ing as chairman, and having the casting vote. According
to the 19th clause, it was enacted, that, while palm or
cocoa nut oil might be stored in the warehouses, butter
should be an excepted article. The Chairman was of
opinion that palm or cocoa nut oil should not have been
excepted, as it was one of the most dangerous matters
which could be stored in a warehouse : and upon the
motion of Mr. Crosfield, butter was conceived to be such
an article as might with safety be warehoused in places
which were not fireproof. It was conceived advisable to
ask for power to remove dangerous trades from the vi-
cinity of warehouses on compensation being made to the
parties out of the borough fund. Upon the 27th clause
being read, Mr. Todd moved, that nitrate of soda and
saltpetre should only be stored in warehouses separate
from others, and fireproof. The motion was adopted. It
was agreed that a power ought to be vested in the Fire
Committee to allow the windows of warehouses to be open
in cases of necessity, such, for instance, as damaged cot-
ton being likely to ignite of itself in confined apartments,
and that they ought, also, to have the power of making
exceptions from the stringent provisions of the act with
regard to the skylights, windows, and doors of mercantile
offices. When the whole of the clauses had been gone
through, the meeting was adjourned until eleven o'clock
next morning, .to take the regulations contained in sche-
dules A and B into consideration.

THE LATE ACCIDENT TO MR. BRUNEL.-At a recent
meeting of the members of the Medical and Chirurgical
Association, a communication was read from Sir B.

the medical treatmeut adopted in ihe case of the recent
accident to Mr. Brunel, and the extraction of the half-
;n from the trachea. After entering into a detail
of the experiments which were carried on at intervals from
April 3 to May 13, when the coin was ejected, an interest-
ing discussion ensued, from which it transpired that the
case of Mr. Brunel was the first upon record of a coin
having ben spit up, and that had it been allowed to remain
in the trachea disease of the lungs would have been en-
gendered, and, ultimately, death have ensued. It was
owing to the nature of the coin that prevented its produc-
ing irritation ; but had it been of copper, brass, or any
other metal the case would most likely have been fatal.
A similrr instance to that of Mr. Brunel was mentioned
of a gold coin remaining four years in the trachea, at the
expiration of which the patient died of phthisis ; and it
was further stated, that a case was recorded by Duptryen,
in his " Legons Oracles," in which a patient who had
swallowed a half-franc piece lived for ten years afterwards,
but ultimately died of pbtbisis.

IT is with the above appropriate characters— e Eng-
lish signification of which is " Peace and P nty," that
CAPT. PIDDING'S Chinese correspond t heads his
last communication from Fo-kein. " H ven," he adds,
" approving, has rained down blessi on the Central
Nation. In the same Season, Pea is proclaimed, and
Plenty crowns the Land. Since the year 4448," (A. D.
1811,) " when the Earth was revivified by the broom-
tailed Star," (comet,) vegetation has not been so luxuri-
ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra-
grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality ; whilst the
plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf.
Thus has nature conspired with the gods to make man
happy."
The new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS,
just received, realises all that he anticipated from the
above communication. Their quality is most assuredly
the finest he has known. Their abundance—with a remis-
sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to
reduce the price below what they have ever before been
charged.
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA is
accordingly REDUCED from Ss. 6d. the Catty Package

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JttLy 8•.

The weather since our last, though variable, has on thewhole
been favourable for the growing crops, which, partitularly of
Spring Corn, muSt have been much benefitted by the rains which
appear to have fallen to a greater or less extent throughout the
kingdom. The trade daring the week has been firm, and sales
of all articles have been made to a fair extent at prices gradn.
ally improving upon the rates of our last. At Liverpool and
Wakefield yesterday (particularly at the latter), the trade ex-
hibited much animation, and a large business was done, at an
advance of full 2s. per quarter. Influenced by this, our market
this day has exhibited a more de idedly improved and confident
appearance that► for some time past. Very little Wheat is offer-
ing, and all qualities are saleable at an advance. of 3d. per
bushel. Flour is Is. to 2s. per sack higher, but little is offering,
and there is a fair sale at the improvement. Oats Id. per bushel
and Meal 6d. per load dearer, with a good enquiry for choice
qualities. Malt fully Is. per load, and Beans is. per quarter
higher. Peas, Barley, &c., rather dearer.

FRIDAY,

On Friday a meeting of delegates was held, at the same
place, for the purpose of taking into consideration an ab-
stract of the bill for the better protection of property in
Liverpool from fire, as it had been amended by the fire
committee. The chair was occupied by William Brown,
Esq. and about sixteen delegates were present. The pro-
ceedings were commenced with an announcement from
the East India and Cotton Brokers' Associations, to the
effect that they were not in a position to advance money
for the carrying out of the object in view, but that they
hoped voluntary subscriptions from individuals would be
found amply sufficient for all the purposes of the associa-
tion. Mr. Duncan then read over the several clauses of
the bill, which by many of the delegates were considered
of a very burdensome character, so far as fines and im-
prisonments went, and almost wholly impracticable in
some of its details. The first clause enacted that the
Council were to appoint a committee out of their own
body to carry out the purposes of the act. Upon the mo-
tion of Mr. Drink water, it was resolved that an equal
number of the dock ratepayers ought to be associated with
the committee of the Council, one of the latter body act-
ing as chairman, and having the casting vote. According
to the 19th clause, it was enacted, that. while palm or
cocoa nut oil might be stored in the warehouses, butter
should be an excepted article. The Chairman was of
opinion that palm or cocoa nut oil should not have been
excepted, as it was one of the most dangerous matters
which could be stored in a warehouse : and upon the
motion of Mr. Crosfield, butter was conceived to be such
an article as might with safety be warehoused in places
which were not fireproof. It was conceived advisable to
ask for power to remove dangerous trades from the vi-
cinity of warehouses on compensation being made to the
parties out of the borough fund. Upon the 27th clause
being read, Mr. Todd moved, that nitrate of soda and
saltpetre should only be stored in warehouses separate
from others, and fireproof. The motion was adopted. It
was agreed that a power ought to be vested in the Fire
Committee to allow the windows of warehouses to be open
in cases of necessity, such, for instance, as damaged cot-
ton being likely to ignite of itself in confined apartments,
and that they ought, also, to have the power of making
exceptions from the stringent provisions of the act with
regard to the skylights, windows, and doors of mercantile
offices. When the whole of the clauses had been gone
through, the meeting was adjourned until eleven o'clock
next morning, to take the regulations contained in sche-
dules A and B into consideration.

THE WAREHOUSE QUESTION.

The MAYOR read a memorial from the associated bo-
dies on the subject of preventing fires, and praying that a
clause be inserted in the Fire Bill, for enabling the Dock
Committee to proceed with additional warehouses at the
Albert Dock, and to erect the sheds on the west quays of
the Prince's Dock, into fire-proof warehouses.
Mr. EVANS supported the memorial, contending that
the owners of warehouses ought, as well for their own
sakes as for the public good, to concede the point. What-
ever might be the views of those in council those out of
doors would no more feel themselves restricted by the late
act, than the public ever felt restricted by any other act
of the legislature.
Mr. Amu.; said if they persevered in the insane system
that had been pursued, the warehouse interest would be
the first to cry out, because our cotton would go to Man-
chester, and our sugar to Lancaster, and our other goods
elsewhere.
Mr. HARBORD said if the warehouse owners had car-
ried their opposition still further it would have been
better for the town, for it would have prevented the
Dock Committee from wasting the money which they
would do if they were permitted to proceed. The Albert
Warehouses would not pay 2 per cent. The warehouse
interest would oppose to the utmost any violation of the
agreement.
Sir T. BRANCRER moved that the memorial lie on the
table.

Mr. AIKIN thought it would be much more respectful
that the memorial should be referred to the Finance Com-
mittee, which he accordingly moved.
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE seconded the amendment. He
thought such a memorial ought to be treated with all
respect and courtesy. The present warehouse system was
bad. We were doing all in our power to help Manches-
ter to obtain the inland Bonding Bill. Mr. Bramley-
Moore proceeded to contend that there is not sufficient
warehouse accommodation in Liverpool. He had seen
carts laden with cotton proceeding to Aigburth. Under
the present system the robberies that were committed
were alarming. There were not less than 1000 bales of
cotton pilfered in a year, under the present system, besides
indigo, and other articles that could be carried away with
greater facility.
The TOWN-CLERK gave it as his opinion that it would
be out of the question to think of introducing such a clause
in the Fire Bill. It would not be permitted.
Mr. AIKIN said, after that opinion he had no course but
to withdraw his amendment.

It was agreed that the memorial should lie on the table,
and that the mayor should communicate the result to the
delegates of the associated bodies.
The council broke up at a quarter before four o'clock.

a special meeting of the council, to consider the Fire
Bill, was held on Saturday, for a report of which see ano-
ther column.

The arrangement to be made with Mr. Mallaby, as

Committee, to consider and report at the next meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said he had received a communication
from the Corporatioq of Liverpool on the subject of the
Bridge-street road, and he was gratified to find that the
corporation had acceded to the wishes of the commis-
sioners, and allowed them to proceed at once with the
improvements there.
The CHAIRMAN said the Finance Committee were also
anxious to know for what the commissioners would under-
take to keep in repair the road from Canning-street to
Bidston-road. This was referred to the Road Committee.
