CLAPHAM begs to announce to his Friends and
• the public that he has combined the TAILOR-
ING with the WOOLEN DRAPERY BUSINESS, and
respectfully informs them that he has engaged a Foreman
of first-rate cutting celebrity, H. C., pledges himself that
he will not be wanting in dilligence to have every descrip-
tion of Clothing made in superior style, and to fit well.
H. C. has found from experience that it is a matter of
delicacy with many parties who may have Cloth, purchas-
ed elsewhere, to apply to Tailors who keep a Stock to
make up, without furnishing alt materials; but to obviate
that, he begs to assure Gentlemen feeling such delicacy,
that equal attention shall be paid to them, and at a mode-
rate scale of charges.

THE FACTORIES' BILL.

The following peroration to the speech of Lord Ashley,
in the House of Commons, on Friday night, in moving in
committee on the factories' bill that " the night instead of
being computed from eight o'clock in the evening should
be computed from six o'clock," will well repay
.perusal.
It is as eloquent in language as it is just and true in senti-
ment. " Let me remind the house of the mighty change
which has taken place in public opinion on this question
since the year 1833. (Cheers.) I then could scarcely
number the support of a dozen masters of mills ; I can
now count them by hundreds. (Loud cheers.) Already
a petition has neen presented to the house, signed by no
less than 330 millowners, in favour of a restriction of la-
bour to 10 hours. (Cheers.) I lave in my possession
letters from many millowners, in which my proposition
is assented to, but they for the present hesitate to pro-
claim publicly their adhesion to the proposed alteration in
the hours of labour. I have also the advantage of num-

LIVERPOOL cpßr! E3cCiIANGE, MARCH 12.

The arrivals into this place since the sth instant contain
a good supply of Oatmeal and Flour from Ireland, but
very little Grain of any kind thence : from the English
coast, however, the receipts of Wheat, Barley, Malt, and
Flour, are to a moderately fair extent, with some parcels
of Oats from Scotland ; the imports of Foreign produce
comprising 440 qrs. of Oats and 500 qrs. of Beans only.
Our market this morning was tolerably well attended,
but without any apparent cause, an almost total want of
spirit on the part a buyers was so decidedly manifest in
every branch of the trade, that, even upon the most li-
mited scale, the sale of any article was nearly impractica-
ble ; and we have to note a decline, more or less, from the
general currency of this day se'nnight.
All descriptions of Wheat were offered with little effect
at an abatement of 2d. per 701 b. ; and Flour at a reduc-
tion of Is. per sack. Batley was also nominally depressed
in value ; and Malt, Beans, and Pease, scarcely main-
tained late prices.
Of Oats, the few trifling sales made to-day, were on
rather lower terms; and Oatmeal, in the absence of de-
mand for investment, and nearly so for consumption, was
fully 6d. per load cheaper than on this day week.
With the exception of 700 to 800 qrs. of Egyptian
Beans sold at 18s. per quarter, no transactions in bond or
afloat, have been reported today.
Throughout the last month and up to the present date,
the weather in this district of the country has displayed
all the realities of winter; frost, snow, wind, and rain,
having occurred in frequent succession, with a fine day or
two, suspend vegetation: the Wheat plant, therefore,
which from the mildness of the season during autumn,
had on some lands become too forward at that early
period, has received a check, favourable, in all' proba-
bility, to its future advancement.

LONDON CORN MARKET, M
ARCH 11.
The arrivals of English Wheat are small, and the supply has
been readily cleared off by our millers, at fully the rates of this
day week, and we have bad a fair retail demand for duty paid
foreign wheat at late prices. There is more inquiry for ship
flour, of which our stocks are small, and the prices of this day
week are rather exceeded. The trade is very dull for barley,
and the prices for this day week are with difficulty maintained.
Beans meet a dull sale, and Pease se I pretty readily at last
week's currency. We are liberally supplied with Oats, and the
trade is dull for this article, at a decline of 6d per quarter from
the prices of this day se'nnight.

BARRINGTON DOCK COMPANY.

On Wednesday the annual general meeting of the mem-
bers of the Harrington Dock Company was held at the
Clarendon-rooms. The chair was taken shortly after one
o'clock by LLwIN MOZLEY, Esq.
Mr. JOHN NORTH, the clerk of the company, having
read the advertisement convening the meeting, and a
statement of the accounts for the past year, proceeded to
read the report of the directors. It commenced by stating
that the general affairs of the company for the past year
had been increasingly successful and important, but that
the detail would have lost much of its interest with the i
proprietors, n consequence of the sale which had been
effected, of the bulk of the estate, to the Trustees of the
Liverpool Docks. It might, however, be well to mention
that the anticipation of last year. of an increased income
from the property had been
.tully realised, the amount up
to the Ist of April next being £4,351 6s. ; and it was
worthy of remark also that the portion of this amount
contributed by dock dues was no less a sum than £892
19s. 4d., being more than three times as much as had de-
rived in any previous year from that source. The expen-
diture during the year had been .1,838 13s. 3d. ; and there
was a balance ia favour of the company of £3,772, appli-
cable to a dividend. `With all the
c, circumstances attend-
in the long-pending negotiation with the Liverpool Dock
Trusteesm for the sale to
.them of the whole of the compa-
ny's estate on the west side of Seftou-street, containinn.
nearly 128,000 square yards, at the price of 31s. 6d, per
yard. the shareholders were made fully acquainted by the
special report of the directors on the 13th of December
last. There was much in the progress of that negotiation
of a painful character, the directors having been made the
object of a charge, through the public press, of urging the
purchase upon the Dock Committee on terms unfavoura_
ble to them and the public, by means of influence, sup-
posed to be exerted in one or
both of the public bodies
with whom they were contracting. An imputation of this
nature, most discreditable, if true, but made without sha-
dow or pretence of truth, appeared to the directors neces-
Y tobef
othe 13th of December, detailing most mi-
u contradicted ; and they, therefore, circulated
ustheir l y report
every step which had been taken in the contract,

HOUSE OF LORPS.—MoNDAY.
In reply to a nuestion from Lord LILFORD, respecting
the Rev. H. C. Marsh,
The Bishou of PETERBOROUGH said, no person could
be more proper than the noble lord, from his well-known
interest in the cause of religion in his diocese, to put to
him the painful question. It was true that in The Times
newspaper of that morning there had appeared some ob-
servations which went so far as to accuse him of conni-
ving at the violation of his duty by a rev. gentleman,—
that, although a charge of immorality had been made
against that clergyman, no notice of it had been taken by
his bishop till just before the trial. Now, the first word
he (the right rev. prelate) had heard of these grievances
was in September last. The rev. gentleman had been ab-
sent nine months from Peterborough, and bad just con-
cluded his residence as canon (for lie was a canon of Pe-
ierborough as well as rector of Barnock), and as soon as
he (the bishop) had heard of the matter, he communicated
with his friends. The great difficulty was, not that
(the right rev. prelate) was unwilling to proceed, br.
now there was no remedy in the power of a his,-
a proceeding under the Church Disciplin"
act was not applicable to offences cr-
than two years, and this crime h
years ago; therefore his hand
was this : of course crirr'

that
...op but by
Act, and that
dintitted longer P'6o
-ad been committed four
,strerr. tied. What he knew
`Conduct had taken place, but
,eeti at Paris; and there was another
4efell 'Discipline Bill which gave power to
to take notice of crimes committed only in his
...,yeese. There again he(the bishop of Peterborough)
.Astxcladed. (Hear.) Ike could have no wish to screen
`the gentleman. If he had selfish objects in view, of course
he should have taken advantage of the conduct of this
rector, for the Irving was in his own patronage, and he
could have found many excellent persons who would have
been thankful for it, even if he had not put a friend into
it, to serve his own interests. He was not to blame, but
the law of the land. He had no authority to interfere;
but he said.tb the friends of the person, " Do not allow
him to take env duty in the diocese till he hears from me
again." 'lle (the right rev. prelate) said, " I cannot bear
to think of his doing duty until this matter has been in-
vestigated; until it is proved that he is innocent of these
crimes." That had been the case. Mr. Marsh had kept
a curate, and was frequently absent from his residence at
Peterlyarough, unhappily in this great metropolis and in
Paris. His curate had done duty regularly and properly
since that time, at least as far as he (the Bishop of Peter-
borough) knew. The offender had not done any duty, and
therefore it was not true that he had connivedat his doing
duty.

CIRCULATION OF THE STANDARD.

The issuing of the Government Newspaper Stamp
Returns for the six months ending December 1843,
affords us an opportunity of saying a few words
with respect to our own position. We commenced
our present plan of weekly publication at the com-
mencement of July last, up to which period our
circulation had averaged little more than 1,000
per publication. In the first three months after
such change, our circulation, according to these
returns, rose to 1,500 per week. In the next three
months, ending December 1843, we had reached,
as the same returns testify, 2,000 per week, which
makes up the number set down to us for the six
months in the return. Our circulation for thefirst
three months of 1844 will show a considerable fur-
ther increase.
As it is, according to this return, we stand in circu-
lation above our Tuesday's contemporary, the Li-
verpool Times, upwards of a thousand copies each
publication ; and above Gore's Advertiser 350,
above the Mercantile Gazette 650, above the
Journal 500, and the Chronicle 700 copies, each
publication.
This result, which is a change of our position from li
the occupation of nearly the lowest place amongst
our contemporaries, is one highly flattering to us,
and for which we feel most grateful to our friends
and the public, and will encourage us in our exer-
tions for the attainment of a still greater measure
of their approval.

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-03-19

THE APPROACHING FANCY DRESS BALL.

The interest attached to this fete, which increases as the
day appointed for it draws near, needs little from our pen
to stimulate it. Our townsmen and our fair townswomen
have never been deaf to the calls of charity. They have
borne in mind that for the noble object of benefitting a
number of valuable institutions, which dispense the bless-
ings of health and consolation in affliction and poverty to
the poor of our town, this ball has been originated ; and
we are happy to find, that they are bestirring themselves
in earnest to advance that object. The gorgeous and va-
ried costumes which have been provided by the various
purveyors in Liverpool, for which the metropolis of Eng-
land and that of France havebeen ransacked, and which have
employed the talent and taste of so many of our townsmen
and townswomen, have already met with an almost unex-
ampled demand, which is not yet exhausted, and is daily
demanding fresh supplies and additional novelties ; and
we may venture to express our hope, that we shall be able
to witness on Monday next one of the most attractive and
interesting spectacles which this or any other town has
ever produced. _ _

One remark, however, we may address upon the subject
to our readers and the public of Liverpool. We are in-
formed that it is the puprose of the committee, if the
prospects of attendance warrants such a step, to form a
communication from the Town-hall across the Exchange
Area, and to throw open the Newsroom as a place for re-
freshments. his will, however, be attended with a great
expense, which they do not feel justified in incurring, and
thereby risking a decrease of the surplus to accrue to the
charities, unless assured, in time to make the necessary
arrangements, of a large assemblage. We are, therefore,
induced to suggest, to parties purposing to attend, the pro-
priety, and, indeed, the advantage to the charities, of
taking their tickets early. By so doing, they will enable
the committee to carry out their project, and thus to in-
crease the comfort of their guests, and add very materially
to the splendour of the spectacle.
We may here correct an error into which parties are liable
to be led by a statement made by the Mercury of Friday
last. Our Contemporary complains that many Pro-
testants and Roman Catholics will be deterred from at-
tending, on account of the Ball taking place in Passion
Week. We need scarcely say that it does not take place
in Passion Week, but the week before, as our contempo-
rary may find if he chooses to take the trouble to en-
quire.
