COURSING.

Yesterday the Liverpool Coursing Club met at Altcar, near
this town, to decide their annual stakes. The show of sports
men and others interested in the events was pretty considerable
and the running was of a first-rate character. During the
coursing an accident of a rather peculiar nature took place, but
the consequences were not serious. In the course of a chase
the devoted hare, strongly pursued by the dogs, took refuge at
the feet of a,girl, who was standing near the side of a brook;
the dogs came up rapidly towards puss, and the violence of the
concussion threw the
.girl into the midst of the water. A gen-
tleman immediately jumped in, and rescued her before she had
sustained any
i injury excepting a good ducking, and those pre-
sent entered into a subscription for her by way of recompense.
The All-aged Cup was wou by Mr. Lucas's Linnet, beating Mr.
Hutchinson's Hermit, Mr. Reddish's Harmony, and Mr. Green-
all's Hannibal. The Puppy. Cup was won by Mr. Lucas's Vic-
tory, beating Mr. Reddish's Rowton, and Slr. Kaye's Kenil-
worth. The Molyneux Stakes were won by Mr. Reddish's
Fox, beating Mr. Ball's Steamer, Mr. Ashley's Nelson, and
Mr. Ackers's Vanish. The Sefton Stake was won by Mr.
Hutchinson's Heresey, beating Mr. Ashley's Joe. The Liver-
pool Stake was won by Mr. Hutchinson's Heresey, beatinc, Mr.
Reddish's Achilles, Mr. Kirkpatrick's Pickpocket, and Mr.
Wood's Wildfire. The Croxteth Stake was won by Mr. Red-
dish's Rockingham, beating Mr. Wood's Warrior, Mr. Hutch-
inson's Annie, and Mr. Kaye's Vanish. The Altcar Stakes
were won by Mr. Ball's .I;.r y, beating Mr. Lucas's Sena-
tor, Mr. Lowton's Wowski, and Mr. Tatlock's Tell-tale. The
Orrell Stake was won by Mr. Lowton's Lottery, beating
Mr. Acker's Cognac, Mr. Woods' Lopper, and Mr. Reddish's
Alice.
THE MATCHES.-Mr. Ball's Bess beat Mr. Kirkpatrick's
Retainer. Mr. Reddish's Rachel beat Mr. Ball's Fly.

PIGEON, SHOOTING.-00 Tuesday last a number of the good
shots of Liverpool mustered at Aintree Race-course, to contest
for a silver cup of the value of ten guineas.' There was great
concourse of sportsmen present. lhe nature of the match was,
the best out of twelve competitors to win the cup ; five birds
each. The birds were the best "blue rock," brought from
York Shire for the purpose. After a series of excellent shots,
the winner was declared to be Mr. Greener, of St. Helen's. The
sport was kept up until nearly dark, and "the Liverpool shots"
state that the trap was scarcely discernible.

A warm contest is likely to arise between. the barristers and
attorneys, -as to the propr►ety of attorneys being allowed to
plead as advocates in the sheriffs' new courts, and it is an-
nounced- that the bar have signified their intention to attend
those courts, if the exclusive right of audience be given to them ;
hut that if, on the contrary, attorneys ate allowed to plead, the
barristers will absent. theni:.elves entirely frutu the matte.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

" The commissioners for inquiring into the municipal corpo
rations of England and Wales" must bear the blame which on
sportsmen attach to us for neglecting to communicate to our
numerous sporting readers in England and Wales the interesting
movements and events in the sporting circles for the last month.
With the exception, however, of the coursing meetings which
have taken place, and the fluctuations in the betting books of
the turfites of Manchester, not forgetting thine within the pre-
cincts of Hyde Park, little worthy of record has occurred.—
Sorne-business has been done this week ; and the Derby, the
Oaks, and the Oatlands, have commanded considerable attention,
especially the former, which has been " done upon" to some
extent at "the Apple Tree, Tattersall's," and " the Bush." For
the Derby, Bentley and Subastes are the first favourites, and
are likely to remain in that situation, unless the improving
Plenipo, whiris fastly creeping into favour, displaces the latter ;
but their appears no likelihood of the confidence enjoyed by
Bentley being shaken. £2OO has been laid, even, between
Bentley and Bubastes for the Derby, and a similar bet has been
effected between the same two for the St. Leger. The Oatlands
have attracted, and.s to 4 has been laid on the field against
Lazarone, Claret, Chantilly, and Galatea, and in one instance
the same bet has been taken against the four, with Titus into
the bargain • £5O has also been offered and taken between
Chantilly andi Trustee. There are no other doings on turf mat-
ters-which call for" a comment.

The following is the latest state of the odds :
THE DERBY.-71 to 1 agst. Bentley, (t) ; 7a to 1 agst. Bu_
bastes, (t); 12 to 1 agst. Plenipo • lb to 1 agst. Shillelah; 22
to 1 agst. Emigrant; 24 to 1 agst.' Delirium, (t); 18 to 1 agst.
Guardian; 20 to 1 agst. Olympic; 20 to 1 agst. Comet; 30 to 1
agst. Bee in a Bonnet; 35 to 1 agst. Brother to Kate; 40 to 1
agst. Belluno, (t).
THE OAKS.-7 to 1 agst. Cotillion; 7to 1 agst. Rosalie; 14
to 1 agst. Louisa ; 17 to 1 agst. Dublin ; 20 to 1 agst. Mustard
Filly ; 20 to 1 agst. Mullana.
THE OATLANDS.-6 to 1 agst. Lazarone, (t) ; 7 to 1 agst.
Claret, (t); 7 to 1 agst. Chantilly, (t) ; 7 to 1 agst. Galatea;
8 to 1 agst. Anne ; 8 to 1 agst. Slalibran.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS.

Rumours have been rife for some days past of disagree-
ments and changes iu the cabinet. We have not before
alluded to them, having no landmarks to go by. The
data upon which they have been grounded we can now,
from our own sources, state to be as follow :

.At the close of the last session, Earl Grey did—as the
preceding year he had done—announce to his colleagues
his then decided resolve not to meet another session of
Parliament as minister. This time he intimated that his
determination was final. gilt the noble Premier has a
family, unhappily too numerous, not all provided for even
yet, and those who have the good luck to be endowed, are
not all secure of their places in case of his retirement. To
preserve them to those who were in,and to leave the
coast clear for those who were out, it was deemed advis-
able by that far-seeing gentleman, Ned Ellice, as he is
familiarly termed, (a good sort of fellow in some re-
spects), that some kinsman of the Greys should in any
case take the helm in his stead.

Lord Durham was the man considered to be the most
convenient tool. But his Lordship had been more used
to govern stable-boys than gentlemen and colleague
Ministers ; Mr. Grant and others of the cabinet remem-
bered that even at a cabinet-dinner he would lose his
temper, fall out with and complain of the laquies of his
hosts, and so they demurred; the pulse of the country
too was felt, and there was no chance. The scheme did
not therefore answer so well as the Greek loan and va-
rious other enterprises of Mr. Ellice had done. A great
commotion was the consequence; various combinations
were formed, but none succeeded. Some proposed Mr.
Stanley—he was too young; others the Duke of Rich-
mond—he was to, stupid; nobody ventured to think of
Lord Brougham—he was too slippery. So after dining
in town without resolving, the Ministers adjourned to
Woburn Abbey, to shoot rooks and confabulate without
the risk of eaves-dropping. But neither with dining nor
shooting could they hit the mark ; so the result of this
turmoil is, that for the present Earl Grey remains pre-
mier, and all further discussions are adjourned till after
the holidays—that is, until January. This we have
good .reason to believe is the-status quo—ante bellum.—

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST./IND4RD.

SlR,—Various conjectures are afloat respecting my removal
from the Prince's Dock, and mistakes have found their way in-
to the papers in consequence of an apparent contradiction in
my statement, many imagining that it was in consequence of
bribery that I was suspended, forgetting what was stated in
evidence, viz.,—" that the present system worked so well that
no dock-master had been charged, either directly or indirectly,
with receiving bribes since its adoption." This took place five
months previous to my removal : of course I was not charged
with receiving bribes.
I take the liberty of setting the public right in this matter,
by informing them of the cause of my removal :—I was charged
with neglecting the vessels consigned to the firm of Messrs. W.
and J. Brown, generally, but especially in the case of two
vessels, viz., the Hyperion and the Moss, which vessels I ac-
tually despatched to sea, with each a full cargo on board,
before itbecame their turn for a landing berth. For the truth of
this I .beg to refer to the dock books, and disprove it who can.
But some will be ready enough to lay hold of this statement,
and say, " Here is proof from his own account of his giving un-
due preference." But to such I would say, " Hold! 1. was not
charged with giving too much, but too little." But, at the same
time, I will not flinch (when the proper time comes). from an
inquiry into that circumstance, or anything else, with regard
to my character and conduct during the time I was master of
the Prince's Dock.

In answer to Mr. Brocklebank's observations respecting the
annoyance given to vessels from which nothing was obtained,
I beg to refer him to Messrs. Sandbach and Co., Sir J. Tobin,
Messrs. Horsfall and Co., Mr. Yates, Mr. Lawrence, Messrs.
Booth and Co., Messrs. Gladstone and Co., Messrs. Taylor and
Co., Messrs. Cropper and Co. and many others, from whom I
never received anything, either directly or indirectly, and I
leave myself in their hands. Can it be believed that these gen-
tlemen tamely submitted to be annoved by me for several years
without ever making a single compraint against me, at least to
my knowledge ?
Respecting the Andes, I have no distinct recollection of the
circumstance; the fact of having her in the bason might, from
what was stated, be thought to be an uncommon thing, whereas
the fact is, scarcely a day passes, even now, that I do not have
some vessels in the bason, and this is done, not because they
give me nothing, but because I have not room. There is no
possibility of preventing persons from impugning our motives :
but I will state this fact,—l never asked any person for money
in my life to do anything connected with my duty, and I never
did (and I defy contradiction) receive the value of one shilling
from any person, in any way or shape, for the purpose of ad-
mitting their vessels into dock, the whole time (51 years) I was
master of the Prince's Dock. CHARLES PUUNELL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND4RD.

SIR,-The management of the public schools, generally, in
this town, and of those of the Establishment particularly, having
been censured by a person of the name of Shorthouse, at the
court of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the municipal af-
fairs of this borough, and the North and South Corporation
Schools being most pointedly condemned, as the following
words, said to have been used by him, will show—viz., "the chil-
dren in the North School can scarcely add two columns of
figures, and the South is very little better,"—l think it a duty I
owe to myself positively to contradict this assertion, as regards
this school, and, moreover, to say that Mr. Shorthouse has not
heard my boys examined in any branch of education, nor has
he, to my knowledge, ever been within the walls of this esta-
blishment! the doors of which, through the coartesy of the
gentlemen superintending its management, are open to any gen-
tleman who may wish to inspect it, or to examine the children ;
of which privilege, had Mr. Shorthouse availed himself, the
result would have been, I flatter myself, quite the reverse
of the opipion comprised in the above extract. As to the
South School, Mr. Barrett's abilities are too wellknown and
appreciated, to require from me a single word to show that
his school is In a far different condition to that which could jus-
tify the unfunded and unmerited condemnation of Mr. S.
The system tinder which these and by far the greater number
of schools jti this town are conducted is that of the late Dr.
Bell ; it has stood the test of near forty years' practice, and of
course will continue to be used as the best now known (a sys-
tem which eminently conduces to produce "good Christians,
good men,and good subjects"; and, were it in universal practice,
the wishes of a late" pious and good monarch might be accom-
plished, in "thatevery child would be enabled to read his Bible,"
and, as far as possible, to understand it), until a superior genius
in the person of Mr. S. or some other, may enlighten the world
by his wisdom. Had this self-appointed censor and inspector of
the public schools given the commissioners his ideas on an im-
proved method of instruction- he might have reaped a well-
merited reward in the gratitude of the public and in the admi-
ration of posterity; but to travel out of his way to inflict pain
upon and to injure those who he knew could not be present to
refute his calumny, is anything but creditable.—l am, yours, &c.

TilE DRAMA.

Oar long neglect of the legitimate drama, "as performed at
the Theatre-Royal," has been forced upon us by the duty of
watching the performance of a long, dull, and melancholy
farce at another-Theatre, temporarily fitted up at the Sessions-
house, where the sorriest actors that ever were seen, claimed
the honour of being an appendage of royalty. Released from
this fatiguing duty, we took our accustomed seat on Tuesday
night to see Braham and the opera of " Artaxerxes"—in which
he sustained the part of Artabanes, with Frazer as Arbaces Miss
Turpin as Mundane, and Miss George as Artaxerxes. Judging
by the perfect command that he retains over his voice, and of
its flexibility and volume, we should almost be disposed to ima-
gine that Braham has bribed. Old Time to overlook him altoge-
ther. Frazer is a pleasing singer, but his voice is scarcely
powerful enough to fill a large theatre, and Miss Turpin took
some most unp irdonable liberties with her author. This is the
great error of all second-rate singers. The band was far from
being well arranged;—the fact is the opera of " Artaxerxes,"
unless performed- by first-rate singers and instrumental per-
formers is an intolerable bore, and this is the reason why it very
seldom succeeds any where but in London.
As the season approaches its close the benefit nights follow
each other in quick succession. Monday night is devoted to Mr.
Cooke, whose name is one of the most conspicuous in the play
bills of this theatre. Mr. Andrews entertains his friends and
the public on Wednesday. For this gentleman's talents we
have a high- respect, and we have frequently. regretted to see
him in characters that are not in his line, or, in those that are
beneath his station in the company; but, this we are aware must
frequently occur, where the corps is limited to so small a num-
ber, as that of our theatre. As an old comedian who deserves
a good benefit, we hope he will be honoured with a full house.
i'he company under the management of Mr. Clarke, will
open the Manchester Theatre on the 2.3 d of this month.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SlR,—According to the report, contained in the newspapers,
of Mr. Myers's evidence given before the Corporation commis-
sioners on the subject of the salt trade, it would appear that the
value of the salt exported from this place does not exceed
£ll,OOO annually.
Now, this statement is grossly incorrect; it is either a mis-
print, or Mr. Myers knows nothing whatever of the business;
and if, as I suspect, the latter supposition be correct, what re-
liance can be placed on his evidence ?
Permit me, therefore, through your medium, to inform both
him and the King's honourable commissioners, that there are
swards of 300,000 tons white salt and 50,000 tons rock salt
ipped from this port in the course of the year, which, accord-
in to the lowest average computation, will amount to at least
£200,000 annually. A SALT PROPRIETOR.

By intelligence from New Brunswick, we learn- that the
mining companies there had received a death blow in conse-
quence of their application to our government for an exclusive
mining privilege having been refused, government only con-
senting to grant a portion of the mines to one company, and
that only for twenty or tlfirty years, and the duty required on
the coal raised was 3s. per chaldron. In consequence of this
the companies had abandoned their project, and thus will the
mineral treasures of New Brunswick probably remain undis-
covered for another half century.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, DEC. 27.—A pamphlet printed elsewhere, "On
Reform in Hungary," was fur a short time spoken of here.
We pity the ill-informed, if they can for a moment be induced'
by such misrepresentation to believe; that injustice is in any
way done to Hungary. How willingly would the Emperor
remedy the most crying abuses, and the arbitrary abuses of the
magnates, or introduce a more humane system with respect to
the slavery of the peasantry, (for even vassalage is too mild a
term for this state of things.) But his hands are tied. The
chamber of the magistrates and of the new allies vie with each
other in the strict assertion of their privileges. Nothing can
be more absurd than the complaint of high duties on merehan-
dize entering the hereditary states. The Hungarians have no
land-tax, nor any direct taxes whatever; what can be more
reasonable than that their productions should pay a higher
duty to make up in some measure the difference between Ilun-
gary and the other parts of the monarchy, where land tax and
other taxes are so heavy ? The concession of a national army,
to be commanded by Ilungarian officers only, would be highly
dangerous iu these times. At present the promotion of the
officers goes through all the divisions of the Austrian army
without any distinction of provinces; but the Hungarian
regiments themselves are unmixed; all to to the lowest rank
are national Hungarians. There is at Vienna a distinct Hun-
garian noble guard, and a separate chancery, at which the
Chancellor is always a Hungarian. How many Hungarian
generals and statesmen of the highest reputation are there in
the empire

WEST INDIES.
By the arrival of the Lapwing Packet, a file of Barbadoes
and Trinidad papers have been received to the end of Novem-
ber. It appears that thd Governor of the Dutch colony of
Surinam: had issued a proclamation prohibiting all British mer-
chant vessels trading to that port. It was said this was iu con-
sequence of apprehensions being entertained of having, the
slaves smuggled away, and of the introduction of dangerous
opinions among them. Much public excitement prevailed at
Antigua, and the house of Assembly had presented an address
to the Governor upon the subject of seditious publications being
circulated, and of the general licentiousness of the press.
Showers of hail had fallen on several of the islands; and in
islartinique iu particular, where the temperature had been
unusually cold. At Barbadoes heavier rains bad fallen than
