night, and the " observed of all observers" were led,
decorated with the ribbons and medals they had gained, to
the several chambers of slaughter, there to be sacrificed to
appease the hunger of the good citizens of London during
the forthcoming carnivorous festival. This week the
butchers' shops will be gaily ornamented with those huge
products of grazing and stallfed skill, and the " gentle

The dramatic and musical gossip of the week is com-
pressible in a small space. Webster has brought out a
piece of his own, an adaptation from the French, entitled
"The Man at Law," which is just tolerable; nothing
more. The cast is of course the best he could make, and
the admirable acting covered the defects of the play.

AFRICAN PALM OIL TRADE

SlR..—Seeing in the Mail, of Saturday last, a letter,
signed " Humanit ' " stating the prodigious quantity of
23,180 tons palm o had been imported from thence, in
eleven months this year, andhaving a strong philanthropic
feeling towards the natives of that country, who formerly
exported nothing but slaves, I am rejoiced to see their
attention turned to the . productions of their soil.

It may be gratifying to the abolitionists of slavery to
know there are the following vessels shortly expected to
arrive from Africa with palm oil, viz. :—Hants, 700 ; Lord

INDUSTRIAL RAGGED SCHOOLS, SOHO-ST

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SlR,—Having been an eye-witness of the destitute state
of: many, indeed of most, of the children admitted into
the Industrial Ragged School, Soho-street, perhaps you
would kindly allow me to make your paper the medium
of informing those who may be disposed to assist this in-
stitution, how very thankfully old cast-off clothing, of any
description, would be received, and how acceptable con-
tributions of provisions, of a plain kind, such as meat,
bread, rice, &c., would be. We have been much indebted
to one or two kind tradesmen, who have sent us, on a
Friday evening, some of their old stock, and I daresay
others would follow their benevolent example if they were
reminded of our necessity.—l am, sir, yours, &c.,

GREAT PROTECTIONIST DEMONSTRATION

IN LONDON.

On Friday, a public meeting, called by the committee
,tional Society for the Protection of Native
, was held in the great room of the Landon
crn, which was densely crowded not only by the lead-
ing agriculturists now assembled in London, but by per-
sons connected with the colonial, shipping, commercial,
and manufacturing interests. His Grace the Duke of
Richmond, K.G., was in the chair, supported by the
Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Glengal, Earl Stanhope,
Lord Berners, Major Beresford, M.P.. Captain Vvse,
M.P.. Mr. G. F. Young, M.P., Mr. T. Barrow. M.P.,
Mr. Ball, of Cambridge. Mr. Baker, of Writtle, Essex,
Mr. E. Powles, Mr. Cayley Worslev, and a great number
of delegates from various parts of England.
A ghost that will not suffer himself to be laid, is a very
ugly customer. A living man who will not consent to be
coffined and buried, according to the instructions of his
next heir who reports him dead, is, no doubt, more pro-
voking still. In spite of all the funeral orations and ne-
crological notices which The Times, the Chronicle, the
Economist, and their colleagues, have bestowed upon the
Protectionist body, in the hope of giving the Free Trade
clique undisputed possession of the family property, the
former still and again rises up, and gives those unmistake-
able signs of life which are described by the familiar
phrase alive and kicking." In proof of this fact, we
refer our readers to the great Protectionist meeting held
on Friday night at the London Tavern, his Grace the
Duke of Richmond in the chair. We call particular
attention to the concluding paragraph of the declaration
adopted at the meeting, which affords the most satiafac-
factory and incontestihle proof that, as we have all along
assured our readers, there does not exist in the minds of
the leaders of the Protectionist party, the remotest idea
of flinching from the principle of " Protection"—taking
the term in its literal, grammatical, and natural sense—
"to British industry." " Aware of the discouraging
effects," says the declaration, " that must be produced
on the friends of Protection by an ambiguous, uncertain,
or wavering policy, we deem it our bounden duty to call
lon British producers of every class to direct their united
and undivided efforts towards the restoration of just pro-

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

MONDAY NIGHT.
Tun recent events in Paris, and the probable results
which will eventually follow, continue to exercise an un-
favourable influence on trade in all departments. The
produce markets are therefore exceedingly languid, the
sales of most articles have been limited, and holders
obliged to accept slightly reduced rates. This remark
applies to sugar, tea, coffee, &c. &c.
There is no lack of money, and discounts continue to
rule easy, 3 per cent, being the rate demanded for good
first-class paper, and 21 per cent. on Government secu-
rities. The Bank of England returns. as gazetted on
Friday last, present the same encouraging aspect which
have marked them for several weeks past. The amount
of the return gives the following results, when compared
with the previous week :

Public deposits £8,077,344; Increase .....e332,290.
Other deposits
Rest 3,126,495; Increase .... 2,959.
On the other side of the account—
Government securities.. £13,241,768 ; The same as before.
Other securities 11,547,043; Decrease 26,422.
Notes unemployed
The amount of notes in circulation is £18,854,505; be-
ing a decrease of £368 960; and the stock of bullion in
both departments is £16,518 584, shewing an increase of
£384,507 when compared with the preceding return.
Considering the present state of the exchanges between
this country and America, we may expect that further
large importations of specie are yet to come forward.
India has of late been drawing away part of our silver,
and this has caused the price to advance, while Brazil has
taken some of our gold ; but for this the Bank of England
return would already have stood higher. With respect to
the employment obtainable for surplus cash, we would
gladly recognize an extension ; but trade will certainly
not absorb even a moderate proportion, and there is
scarcely a resource between accumulation and investment
in securities that yield a very limited interest. The open-
ing afforded by the projected branch railways will next
year give some relief, and other companies started are
competitors.

There has been a better feeling in the market for Eng-
lish securities this week, and prices generally have been
pretty well sustained. The monthly settlement has gone
off better than many anticipated, no failures being an-
nounced. The Electric Telegraph thus reports the clos-
ing prices of Stocks in Lrsndon this evening :—Consols
for Money and Account, 963 ex-div. ; Exchequer Bills,
48s. to 51s.wpm.
Cotton has been in slow request during the week, and,
to effect sales, holders of American and Surat were ob-
liged to concede per lb. on the rates current at the
close of the week ending Dec. 6. This is owing to the
unsettled state of affairs in France, for spinners are mostly
well employed, and the Manchester market is steady,
with a fair inquiry for both goods and yarns. The stock
of cotton on hand is certainly min h smaller than last
year, and as the consumption is greater, should peace
prevail on the continent, the likelihood is that prices will
not be lower at least for some time. The advices brought
by the Africa do not add anything new respecting the
crop. _ _

There is another pause in our grain markets, and the
demand being limited to present wants, holders of both
wheat and flour have accepted lower rates. At present
there is a total absence of speculation, and seeing that the
question of supplies from abroad is very uncertain, as to
extent, the buying must for some time longer be confined
to a legitimate demand for home use. The deliveries of
wheat are considerably in excess of those of the two
last years.

There is a steady demand for most descriptions of
Foreign Wool, and more business might be done if there
was a better supply to offer, but most of the late arrivals
are held for the public sales now at hand. The sales of
Scotch have not been to any extent, but prices are firmly
maintained.

We regret to state that a firm extensively engaged in
the American trade in this town was obliged to suspend
payment on Saturday. It is expected that arrangements
will be made whereby the parties alluded to will be ena-
bled to resume business in the course of a few days.

LATEST STATE OF THE LIVERPOOL MARKETS.
Our Share market opened and has cortinued good
throughout the week. It sustained a slight shock on Sa-
turday from some unfounded political rumours, but the
effect of this was but momentary. It has rallied today,
and closes this evening about the best of the week, with
stock scarce, and every prospect of a further and conti-
nuous advance. The stocks chiefly in demand are Mid-
lands and Leeds. it is said that the fusion of the former
company with the London and North-Western is all but
decided upon. Mining shares have recovered from the
decline caused by the French disturbances, and the three
bond fide su'-stantial companies continue to be asked for
at good premiums. The Aqua Fria's have been done at
14 pm., and close at about 4 pm. The Noveau Mondes
are 2 -A., the Anglo-Californians 4. We annex this day's
prices :—Blackburn preference, 164: Caledonian, 154

CoTTorr.—The market since the publication of the
broker's circular has been quiet, and prices compared with
those current on Friday, are about id. per lb. lower.
The transactions of Saturday and today are about 10,000
bales, of which speculators and exporters have taken
2,000.

SUGAR.--A fond demand has prevailed (Inrine the last

SUNDAY-SCHOOL SOCIETY FOR IRELAND.

Amongst the many appliances which Christian benevo-
lence has called into operation for the spiritual ameliora-
tion of the condition of Ireland, we consider those educa-
tional institutions, founded on the principles of the Word
of God, to have 'been signally and largely blessed. Our
attention has been called to this matter by a paper which
has fallen into our hands relative to the working of the
Sunday-school system of instruction amongst the Irish
population, lately published. It appears that
"There were in connection with this society on the Ist of
January, 1851, 3,004 schools, containing 226.512 scholars, and
20,000 teachers, who devote their time. gratuitously, to the work
of Sunday school instruction. _ _ _

''''ls:l;e-CO;nilteefitWenOl information of such extent or
accuracy as to enable them to state, with any precision, the
number of Roman Catholic children attending at Sunday
schools, but their documents shew that a considerable number
has been in attendance for many years; and they rejoice to
add, that they possess the clearest evidence that the number
has increased, during the last two or three years, in an unpre-
cedented degree. . . _

" The society has been called upon to give its assistance to a
number of Sunday schools, lately established, principally in
the province of Connaught, composed almost exclusively of
Roman Catholics or converts from the Church of Rome. The
elementary books issud by this society—spelling books, with
Scriptural reading lessons—have been found extremely useful
to the youthful classes of the scholars in these schools, as well
as the. Bibles and Testaments, which are used by the more
advanced scholars and adults, of whom many attend. In ad-
dition to grants in previous years, nearly 4,000 Bibles and Tes-
taments, and nearly 7,000 portions of Scripture and Scripture
reading books, were granted by this society during the present
year, almost exclusively for the instruction of Roman Catho-
lics or converts from the Church of Rome, principally in the
west of Irel'ind ; and the agents of this society have also aided
in the establishment and general organization of many of the
schools at which they attend.
" From the last census, it appears that the population of
Ireland is 6.515,794, and it may be computed that at least two-
thirds of its inhabitants are capable of receiving instruction in
the English language, and thus come within the scope of the
society's operations. It appears, also, that in districts, parti-
cularly in the west of Ireland, here the adult population are
only or chiefly accessible to Scriptural instruction through the
medium of the Irish language, that in proportion as the light
of Divine truth spreads amongst them, an earnest desire exists
that their children should be instructed in the English lan-
guage. And it should be remembered that with the increase
of the Protestant population, additional Sunday-schools for
their instruction will be required, and that thus the demands
for the co-operation and aid of this society will be proportion-
ably augmented also. . . _ .

,
"The demands upon this society from the schools during
the last four years, occasioned principally by the failure of
local funds, and the new openings which have been made for
its operations amongst Roman Catholics and converts from
the Church of Rome, have exceeded those in any correspond-
ing period since its establishment."
We cordially wish this good, old, and honoured insti-
tution " God speed" ; and we hope that those who labour
in its cause may be upheld, strengthened, and encouraged
by the Christian philanthropy and pecuniary support of
the friends of the Bible in every part of the United
Kingdom.—Eddowes's Journal.

CONTINENTAL COMMERrIAL LEAGUE

AGAINST GREAT BRITAIN.

We have received the following information from our
German correspondent, on whose accuracy we can most
thoroughly depend. We invite especial attention to its
purport, as proving that any notion of reciprocity on the
part of the continental powers is more absurd than ever:—
" I wish to be the first to communicate to you, and to
England, that something is going to take place in Ger-
many with respect to the Zollverein. It now appears that
a sort of congress of all the deputies of the!German states
is to take place at Vienna on the 2d of January, in order
to join Austria to the Zol tariff, which is very high, and
therefore would work most severely against English ma-
nufactured goods. It is to be divided into three parts.
The third class of goods, i. e., the coarsest, will have to
pay 60 thalers (equal to £9 English) per cwt. ; the second
class 130 per cent. ; and the first class, i. e., the finest
goods, 160 per cent., which is tantamount to prohibition !"
We commend this intelligence to the manufacturers of
Great Britain, as an utter falsification of all the predic-
tions of Messrs. Cobden, Bright, Wilson, Villiers, and
Co.—Bell's Weekly Messenger.
