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 not in 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 sooa takes place, a blight
must follow. Lamberhurst.—The hops in this neighbour-
hood are looking very favourably.—Maidetone

SEA WALL.

The CHAIRMAN said that the usual notice to the con-
servators of the river as to the erection of a sea wall had ex-
pired, and that it would now be proceeded with. As the
erection of a sea wall would cause a vast improvement to
the property of the Corporation of Liverpool, and would
prevent their property being washed away, he (the chair-
man) thought they ought to bear some portio❑ of the ex-
pense. Yards of their land were daily washed away by
the water, and £l,OOO or £2,000 spent on the road would
improve their land very much.
In reply to a question from Mr. J. N. Wood, the
CHAIRMAN added that the sea wall was to be only eight
yards wide on the old road which had existed for many
years. The Corporation would gain more yards of land
by the road being made than would pay the expense of
making three times over.
Referred to the Improvement Committee.

NEW ROAD.

The CHAIRMAN said a great many enquiries bad been
made why the new road from Sampson's ['it, to Upton-
road had not been commenced, and be begged now to
state that it would be commenced as soon as the turnpike
was removed.

equal to that of 1,000 4iarsels, and will be used to keep in
action, as the means Of propulsion, an Archimedan screw.
The draught of water will be seen not to exceed that of a
first-class West Indiaman. At present this vessel can only
be considered as an experiment; and, should it fail, an
abundance of ridicule will no doubt be cast upon the pro-
jectors by men whose genius would hardly have sufficed
for the invention of a wherry. A great part of the steam
navy of the East India Company consists of iron vessels,
twenty-five of which are now in use in India, among
which are the Nemesis, the Phlegethon, the Ariadne, and
the Medusa,—names well known to the British Public
from the conspicuous part which the vessels have perform-
ed in the war with China. The advantages of iron over
timber, for naval architecture, are—the absence of "wear
and tear" in the hull—no necessity for caulking or cop-
pering—no possibility of injury from dry-rot—greater
lightness and increased capacity—and, what is of even far
more importance, greater safety. The first cost of iron
vessels is somewhat, but not much, less than that of tim-
ber-built vessels : their comparative cheapness results
from their greater durability : after years of constant em-
ployment, they are found to be as sound and as clean as
when first built. Their weight, upon which depends the
nisplacement of water, is—as a general rule—three-fifths
the weight of wooden vessels of the same capacity. The
weight of metal used in proportion to the burden of the
ship varies, of course, with the size. A sea-going iron
steam vessel will take from nine to twelve cwts. of iron
per ton register. Boats intended for river traffic, which
do not require an equal degree of strength, of course take
a less weight of metal.—Porter's Progress of the Nation.

THE COURT.

INTENDED VISIT OF THE PRINCESS CLEMENTINA OF
ORLEANS.—Her Royal 11 ighness (now Princess of Co-
burg) is to leave Lisbon so as to reach London on the 15th
of this month.

The King and Queen of the Belgians are expected to
leave England for the Continent about the 12th or 13th
instant. His Majesty the King of Hanover is expected
to prolong his visit for ten days or a fortnight beyond
that period.

The nuptials of Lady Frances Vane, eldest daughter of
the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, and the
Marquis of Blandford, will be solemnized at the close of
the present month, the wedding day being celebrated at
Holderness-house with becoming splendour.

We have authority to condradict a paragraph which has
appeared in several of the London papers, stating that
her Majesty had taken upon herself the charge of nursing
the infant Princess Alice. Her Majesty never enter-
tained any such intention, nor was the plan recomended
to her, as stated, by eminent medical advice, as " most
conducive to the health both of infant and mother.—
Britannia.

THE LATE ACCIDENT TO MR. BRUNEL.—At 2 recent
meeting of the members of the Medical and Chirurgical
Association, a communication was read from Sir B.
Brodie, containing some interesting particulars relative to
the medical treatment adopted in the case of the recent
accident to Mr. Brunel, and the extraction of the half-
sovereign 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 discnasion 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 bis " Legons Oracles," in which a patient who had
swallowed a half-franc piece lived for.ten years afterwarda,
but ultimately died of phthisis.

DESCRIPTION OF A STORM.

I took some shelter 'neath a forest's edge,
And never felt the regal might of God
So wonderfully grand. The Rhine was lit
With living fire, its waters turned to flame,
And the old castles seemed like blazing ruins.
All was laid bare for miles : darkness and light
Seemed battling for a mastery, and each
I-lad victory by turn,—now day now night.
The thunder seemed the angry tread of G ,d
Upon the air, which shrieked with all its Might;
While nature crouched, a living battle plain,
And shook with dread ! My poor steed shivered,
As though it had an ague. 'Twas indeed a storm,
Worthy the very Alps.

ON A PAINTING OF A GERMAN WARRIOR.

How terribly that warrior scowls on me!
The torture of that dull and fixed dead stare,
Searching with shrouded gaze into my heart,
Like to a fiend who has the hate of hell,—
The justice of a God ! A painter there
Stood for a tew short hours, and Vied his hands,
Active with malice, and upon the wall
Left that dead face to blast me! But I could
Rip it to shre s, and in a moment's time,
With this sharp steel of mine, now bared before me.
And yet -I pause : I dare not strike a picture,
For fear of something standing armed behind
That fragile canvas. Ha! the picture moves !
lvo; it was but my fancy ; yet the eyes
Hare all the venom of a human look.

OUSE OF LORI,S.-MONDAY.

e, on Monday, was occupied with the consi-
deratioiilt an amendment moved by Lord CANIPBULL
upon the first clause of Lord Aberdeen's Bill respecting
the presentation to benefices in the Scotch Church.
The subject was debated at considerable length, but the
clause, upon a division, was maintained by a majority of
2 to 13. A second division was afterwards taken by
Lord Brougham on the same clause, but with equal ill-
success, and their Lordships' then adjourned, the bill
having only advanced by this one clause nearer to matu-
rity.

CAUTION TO FAMILIES

MANY SHOPKEEPERS of apparent respectability,
but destitute alike of honour and of talent, for the
sake of gaining a trifle more profit, basely attempt to
impose their pernicious compounds upon the public, as
the real MACASSAR OIL, for the Hair, and KALY-
DOR, for the Complexion ; they copy the bills and labels
of the original articles, substituting eihter a FICTITIOUS
NAME, or the word " GENUINE," in the place of
" ROWLAND'S."

To frustrate such imposition, it is necessary on pur-
chasing either article, to see that the word " ROW-
LAND'S" is on the wrapper, as follows—without which
none are genuine.
_

Under the Patronage of Her Majesty " The Queen,"
the Royal Family, and the several Courts of Europe,
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.

The only article that produces and restores Hair; pre-
vents it from falling off or turning grey to the latest period
of life ; changes grey Hair to its original colour—frees it
from scurf, and makes it beautifully SOFT, CURLY, and
GLOSSY. In dressing Hair, it keeps it firm in the curl,
uninjured by damp weather, crowded rooms, the dance,
or in the exercise of riding. To Children it is invaluable,
as it lays a foundation for a BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR.
On purchasing. (beware of Counterfeits ! !) ask for
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and see that these words
are on the wrapper.
*** To insure the genuine article, see that the words
" Rowland's Macassar Oil" are engraved on the back of
the envelope nearly 1500 times, containing 29,028 letters
—WITHOUT THIS NONE ARE GENUINE.

Price 3s. Gd. ; is. ; Family Bottles, (equal to four small,)
10s. Gd. ; and double that size, 21s. per Bottle.

ROWLAND'S KAIADOR

Its virtues ale commonly displayed in thoroughly eradi-
cating all pimples, spots, redness, tan, freckles, and other
unsightly cutaneous defects, in reducing inflammation,
and in rendering the most rough and uneven skin, plea-
santly soft, and smooth. To the complexion, it imparts
a juvenile roseate hue, to the neck, hand, and arm, a
delicacy and fairness unrivalled.

Gentlemen will find it peculiarly grateful. after shaving
in allaying the irritation of the skin. •
Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per Bottle, duty included.

NEW MARKET AND TOWN-HALL

Mr. Wood said that, a few months ago, a committee
was requested to enquire into the necessity for building a
new town-hall and market, and he wished to know whether
they had reported?

The CHAIRMAN said it bad been deemed prudent to
wait until the new act was passed.
Mr. Woon said it was time something was done, for
there were loud complaints about the present market.

Mr. WOOD asked if they were going to warehouse cot-
ton at Birkenhead ?

The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt that they
would soon not only warehouse cotton, but all other
kinds of goods, and he hoped they would soon discharge
ships there.
In reply to a question from Mr. Wool),
The CHAIRMAN said that, including the entire pur-
chase money of the ferry, £83,000 had already been bor-
rowed. The £14,000 now to be taken up was to pay for
a portion of the land for the park, and would make £97,000.
They would want a considerable sum to carry on their
operations. At the first meeting in August the ferry com-
mittee would be able to make such a statement to the
board that would prove to them that they were not going
beyond their tether.
Mr. MALLABY said the statement would be to the effect
that, after paying the interest of all this money, there was
a clear surplus.
The Commissioners then adjourned till that day fort-
night.

MILITARY DONKEYS.-A very amusing and highly
laughable race with donkeys, ridden by 13 of the officers
of the 2d Life Guards, for a sweepstakes of one sovereign

near Windsor ; feather weights, and the winner to be sold
for all it would fetch. After a well contested race of a
mile, which was got over in something less than a quarter
of an hour, during which time there were about six times
as many falls and " pitches over" as there were donkeys,
the prize was won, entirely through superior jockeyship,
by Captain Bulkeley, the President of the Mechanics'
Institute.

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. 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
1 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 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 not in 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 hops in this neighbour-
hood are looking very favourably.—Maidstone Journal.

THE MAILS TO SCOTLAND

Mr. ATKIN spoke strongly in favour of a memorial
signed by numerous highly respectable firms, requestin;
the council to petition the post-office authorities for an
additional mail to Glasgow, &c.
Mr. EVANS gave 1 is testimony in corroboration of the
complaints alleged in the memorial.
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE objected to the use of the cor-
porate seal without inquiry, and proposed that the subject
be referred to the Finance Committee, which was agreed
to.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1843-07-11

DISPENSARY AT BIRKENHEAD

A letter from the Rev. A. Knox, including a resolution
of the committee of the Birkenhead Dispensary, was read.
The resolution was as follows :—" That the commissioners
be requested to say whether they would give or sell a piece
of land for the purpose of a dispensary and hospital, and
supply a portion of the stone for building the same."
The CHAIRMAN said that, considering the way in which
everything was improving, it was a shame there was no
place in which they could put their sick. He bad been
told by the clergy, and many of the medical men were of
the same opinion, that many lives were lost in consequence
of the want of proper treatment.
Mr. Pim said he had lately had occasion to send two
men over to Liverpool, who had had their limbs broken.
Mr. BENTHAM said he would cheerfully unite in dedi-
cating a piece of land for such an object, and he hoped
that every Commissioner would feel that he had a duty far
beyond that, and not only open his own purse, but use his
utmost efforts to prosper the work. Referred to the Im-
provement Committee.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1843-07-11

►L STANDARD.

Mr. LLOYD MOVed that the report be: printed, and a
copy sent to each member of the council, and that it be
taken into consideration at the next monthly council.
This was agreed to. The increase of Mr. Fox's salary
was likewise postponed, but it was understood that it
commences from the present month.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 4.

Rather more business in Cotton to-day. The sales ar
estimated at 2500 to 3000 bales, at yesterday's prices,
with a steadier tone and feeling in the market.

COTTON MARKET, JULY in.
If we remark upon any change in the Cotton market, it
certainly is rather steadier, and better in tone than it has neen of
late. Holders seem more disposed to shut up their stocks until a
greater demand is forthcoming, and in this way the buyers have
less choice. On Saturday 4000 bales were sold, and to-day
5000 bales at full market prices.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1843-07-11

THE ALBERT DOCK WAREIIOUSES

Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE asked what the estimate for the
Albert Dock warehouses was. Were the warehouses to
be fire-proof! There were various assertions on these
subjects. Some said the warehouses would cost 438 per
square yard, others

Mr. SANDS said he had been greatly astonished to see
in the papers, an assertion, that the warehouses would
cost as much as £4O per square yard. Mr. Stewart could
bear him out in the assertion, that with the vaults they
would cost £lO per square yard, and without the vaults
£B. It was intended to make the warehouses fire-proof,
and, when finished, he believed the insurance offices would
insure them as low as any warehouses whatever.
Mr. EARLE.—Does the estimate include the making of
the ground?

Mr. SANDS.—Not the making of the dock-wall, cer-
tainly.

Mr. EALLE.—Then I think they will cost £4O.
IMPROVEMENT AND COURTS OF LAW, &C. COMMITTEES.
Mr. HODGSON moved Mr. Stewart, a member of the
Improvement Committee, in the room of Mr. Samuel
Holme.

It was necessary that the question be postponed in com-
pliance with the standing order.
Mr. EARLE gave notice that he should move that Mr.
Stewart be a member of the Courts of Law, &c. Com-
mittee.

NEW MARKET AND TOWN-HALL

Mr. Wood said that, a few months ago, a committee
was requested to enquire into the necessity for building a
new town-hall and market, and he wished to know whether
they had reported?
The CHAIRMAN said it had been deemed prudent to
wait until the new act was passed.
Mr. Wool) said it was time something was done, for
there were loud complaints about the present market.
Mr. Woon asked if they were going to warehouse cot-
ton at Birkenhead ?
The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt that they
would soon not only warehouse cotton, but all other
kinds of goods, and he hoped they would soon discharge
ships there.
In reply to a question from Mr. Woon,

The CHAIRMAN said that, including the entire pur-
chase money of the ferry, £83,000 had already been bor-
rowed. The £14,000 now to be taken up was to pay for
a portion of the laud for the park, and would make £97,000.
They would want a considerable sum to carry on their
operations. At the first meeting in August the ferry com-
mittee would be able to make such a statement to the
board that would prove to them that they were not going
beyond their tether.
Mr. MALLABY said the statement would be to the effect
that, after paying the interest of all this money, there was
a clear surplus.
The Commissioners then adjourned till that day fort-
night.

MILITARY DONKEYS.—A very amusing and highly
laughable race with donkeys, ridden by 13 of the officers
of the 2d Life Guards, for a sweepstakes of one sovereign
each, with nothing added, came off 'a few evenings ago,

near Windsor ; feather weights, and the winner to be sold
for all it would fetch. After a well contested race of a
mile, which was got over in something less than a quarter
of an hour, during which time there were about six times
as many falls and " pitches over" as there were donkeys,
'the prize was won, entirely through superior jockeyship,
by Captain Bulkeley, the President of the Mechanics'
Institute.
