FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

The Standard says, " We are able to state from 'the
very best authority, that the Archduke John, as Grand
Vicar of the Empire, has resolved to call out an army of
50.000 men, as a reinforcement to march immediately in
support of Marshal Radetzky, to settle finally the Lom-
bard question.
LATEST FROM HUNGARY.—It appears that the news of
the defeat of Jellachich by the Hangarians is not correct.
and the report of Charles Albert having again taken the
field at least premature. No despatches have been re-
ceived from Vienna by the French Government, but it is
stated, on the authority of accounts received by a banking-
house here, that Jellachich and the other Austrian gene-
rals have changed their plan of operations, and, instead of
attacking Vienna have advanced against the Hungarian
army, after which they will return and quell the insurrec-
tion at Vienna.
INSURRECTION IN CEPHALONIA.—One of the Paris
journals quotes a letter from Cephalonia, of the 2d inst.,
announcing that a serious insurrection broke out in the
lonian Islands on the 26th ult. " The peasants of
Cephalonia," it says, "rose en masse, and with arms in
their hands, entered the town of Argostoli, crying, ' Viva
the Union !" Viva Greece and Liberty for ever !' The
English garrison fired upon the insurgents, and some lives
were lost. An engagement also took place at Lixuri.
The people are determined to free their country, at any
price, from the absolute oppression which England exer-
cises under the name of Protectorate, over the lonian
Republic." The Presse adds, that the insurgents, after
losing ten men in an engagement with the British troops,
had fled into the mountains ; but that it was feared they
would return on the following day in greater force.
COUNT LATOUR.—This nobleman (the Austrian Minis-
ter of War) who has just perished in the insurrection at
Vienna, was a Belgian by birth. He was the son of Gen.
Latour, who served a long time in the French army du-
ring the revolution.
STATISTICS OF AUSVRIA.—The different provinces
composing the Empire .of Austria contain, says a German
journal, a population 0f35,000,000, in which are 19,000,000
Selavonians„ 6,509,000 Germans, 5,000,000 Italians,
2,500,000 Romauns'or Moldo-Waliachians ; and the rest
are Armenians, Jews, or natural foreigners. The popu-
lation gives an army of 436,000 men, not including the
landwehr, nor the levy en masse as practised in Hungary.
In time of peace it is on furlough. The Austrian navy
consists of 57 sail, of which 3 are frigates, 2 corvettes, 9
brigs, and 46 smaller vessels armed in all by3lo guns.
A BLACK REPRESENTATIVEC.—At the sitting of the
National Assembly of France on Friday last a consider-
able movement took place in the Chamber in consequence
of the appearance of M. Mainline, whose admission was
lately pronounced for the colony of'Martinique. The re-
presentatice, who is of the very blackest hue, walked up
to the extreme end of the Chamber and took his seat im-
mediately under the clock. His features were then
visible, nand presented to view the time negro type. The
movement through the Chamber •continued to increase,
and arrived at its highest pitcluwheri the new comer coolly
drevrout an eye-glass and proceeded to leisurely examine
the ,different parts of the Asserrdcly. It was some mo-
ments before the President ceuldprocure sufficient atten-
tion to allow the discussion on 'the constitution to proceed.

*The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster arrived
dt Eaton Hall, Chester, last week, from Motcombe House,
!Dorset.
The Marquis of Salisbury •Las joined the Marchioness,
'at Hatfield House, Herts, 'from visiting his extensive
property at the Isle of Rum, off the north coast of Scot-
land. The noble marquis-and marchioness -will shortly
receive a succession of visitors at Hatfield.
ROYAL MUNIFICENCE.---The Queen Dowager has been
pleased to forward to the Rev. Robert Joynes, rector cif
Gravesend, the sum of -17,0 to wards the erection of a new
church in the parish of Gravesend.
The directors of the South Devon Railway have 're-
solved to reduce the -salaries on their line. The porters
and policemen are to have 14s. weekly, instead of 15s.,and
those of .a higher grade will be reduced about 20 per cent.
ALLEGED 'PoisartmG.—ln the month of June, `1847,
a Mr. Smith, living at Old Weston, near Huntingdon,
died after a sudden but violent illness. He was a man of
robust health, and of temperate habits, but was suddenly
seized with severe retching and purging. Twelve months
after his wife married again, and shortly after discharged
the servant, who was in her employment at the time of
Mr. Smith's death. From this servant the serious
charges against Mrs. Smith (or ?arsons), have arisen.
She states that'Mr. Smith was taken suddenly ill, having
previously exhibited no symptoms of indisposition, and
that his wife administered to him a mixture which pro-
duced the consequences already described, and which
speedily resulted in his death. The body of Mr. Smith
has been exhumed, and the contents sent 'to London for
analyzation.
THE GREAT SEA SERPENT AGAIN. —Captain Hen-
derson, master of the ship Mary Ann, of Glasgow, in a
letter datedi•Glasgow, October 19th says, in allusion to
the monster seen by the crew of the Daedalus, that he
spoke the American brig Daphne on the:3oth ult., and
that the mate of the latter told him that on the 20th
of that month (September), a most extraordinary animal
had been seen—from his description it had the appearance
of a huge serpent or snake, with a dragon's bead. Imme-
diately upon its being seen, 'one of the deck guns was
brought to bear upon it, which having been charged with
spike-nails, and whatever other pieces of iron could be
got at the-moment, was discharged at the animal, then
only distant about '4O yards from the ship; sit immediately
reared its,head in the air, and plunged violently with its
body, showing evidently that the chsrga bad taken effect.
The Daphne was to leeward at: the time, but was put
about on the starboard tack- and stood towards the brute,
which wac seen foaming and lashing the water at a
fearful rate; upon the brig nearing, however, it disap-
peared, and, evidently wounded, made rapidly off at the
rate of 15 or 16 knots an hour, as was Judged from its
appearing several times upon the surface:" It was pur-
sued for some time by the,Daphne, but night coming on,
the master was obliged to continue his voyage. The
mate described the brute as 100 feet long, and his account
agrees in -every particular with that forwarded to the
admiraltpby the commander of the Daedalus.
•ON LISTENING -TO EVIL REPORTS:—The longer I
live the more I feel the importance of adhering to the
rule which I have laid down for myself in.relation to such
matters I. To bear as little as possible whatever is
to the prejudice of others. .2. To believe nothing of the
kind till .I am absolutely forced to it. .3. Never to drink
into the spirit of one who circulates an ill report. 4.
Always to moderate, as far as I can, theunkindness which
is expressed towards others. 5. Always to believe that,
if the other side were heard, a very different account
would be given of the matter."—Carus's _Life of Simeon,
SOMETHING LIKE A PUBLIC ExittemoN.—Your no-
velty inventors in the old country, lovers of the awful,
gala and fete attendants will sink into .a nutshell at the
bare mention of the latest invention in the way of ex-
citement and sight seeing on-this side. Instead of views
of Rome, bombardments of Acre, takings of Seringapa-
tam, and such like trifles, we send real, bona fide fire ships,
" right slick.away, and no mistake," over the fall of Ni-
agara. It is announced in the Niagara Fails Ira, by Mr.
W. Conklin, that he will send two vessels over the Falls
on the. 29th ofSeptember. At twelve o'clock, the Pirate,
.a vessel ofloo-feet in length, with several wild and tame
animals on board as passengers, with appropriate flags and
-streamers, will be started from her moorings, two miles
above the Falls. It is intended to have this craft so well
secured, hatches down and all tight, that she will make
the awful leap entire. with spars and rigging all standing.
At.eight o'clock on the evening of the same day, a fire-
ship, loaded with all manner of combustibles, will be
ready to slip her cables, showing a ship on fire, until after
two miles through the rapids she will make the fearful
plunge in a blaze, forming one of the greatest scenes ever
beheld at Niagara Falls.—American Correspondent.
CODINESS AND DETERMINATION.—The Rev. Mr. Sage,
of Lochearron, had been often grieved and annoyed with
the barking and fighting of dogs in church. However,
on one occasion, seeing a posse of them fighting, and
defying the kirk-officer to separate or put them out, he
most coolly and deliberately came down from the pulpit,
and; being a strong and powerful man, instantly separa-
ted them, and put them out, two of which he killed by
dashing their brains out against the door-way. During
this time, not one of the congregation offered to move
out of their seats. The worthy divine, with equal cool-
ness, took his place again in the pulpit, and resumed his
sermon thus—" As we were saying." This reminds us
of another divine, minister of a parish on the borders,
who used to be also greatly disturbed by dogs, a conside-
rable portion of his parishioners being shepherds, and
generally brought their dogs along with them to church.
One day he was so much annoyed that he very sharply
rebuked his hearers for bringing their dogs at all with
them on the Sabbath day. A poor woman, an idiot, who
sat in an obscure corner of the church, roared out from
the top of her voice—" Ye hypocrites, leave your dogs at
home, and bring your wives to church." This admoni-
tion, though from an idiot, had a far better effect than
that of the minister on the shepherds, who ever after took
good care to' leave their dogs at home on Sundays. Mr.
Sage was a man of profound piety, and was an instrument
of much good in nis day and generation. He was the
grandfather of the Rev. Mr. Sage, Free Church minister
of Resolis.—Rossshire Advertiser.
DIVISION OF LABOUR AND SELF GOVERNMENT
AMONGST THE LOWER ANIMALS.—Among the moun-
tains of Chili, and in the extensive plains of Brazil, the
horses, aye, and even the asses of the Spanish settlers
have established a progeny that ought to give a new turn
to the natural history of their species. Associating in
vast multitudes, they have established symbols of com-
munication with each other; they march in due order,
rank and file, with greater regularity than the best
trained military troop ; they mount guard in peace as well
as in war ; they have officers to command them, to whom
they yield implicit obedience; they have a regular system
of tactics, according to which they invariably fight ; and
all offenders against their code of discipline are regularly
punished.—Wherever we find gregarious animals, we
generally find the division of labour ; a principle which,
as Dr. Adam Smith observes, can only exist where there
is an extensive demand. For example, the horses mount
guard in turn ; the wild geese lead in turn, and thus each
combats an equal portion of resisting atmosphere; the
beavers have their carpenters, masons, plasterers, their
hewers of wood and their drawers of water ; the male and
female birds sit upon the eggs in turn ; the bees gather
honey, or build the cell, or lay the eggs, according to the
station assigned them : and even the selfish and hated
wolf, like the leader of a band of highwaymen. assigns to
each of his fellows a station on the flank, bead. or neck of
the noble steed. Now, every political economist knows
that commerce is little else than an immediate result of
the division of labour ; and though I have never seen a
well authenticated instance of interchange taking place
among the inferior animals, I am prepared to believe that
they do exist, and I have no doubt that more accurate ob-
servations will bring su di facts to light.—Dr. Hume's
Paper, read al the Lire Tool Literary and.PhiNsophical
Society.

GENERAL TRADE REPORT.

MONDAY EVENING.

For some time past, the probable limit to the progres-
sive downfal in prices has formed the subject-matter of
inquiry ; and the question " Where will it end ? " has
met the ready response, " It cannot go much further ;"
while, in railways particularly, premiums have dwindled
away, and even London and North-Western shares have
gone to discount. The emergencies in railway circles are
at the same time driving many holders of produce and raw
and manufactured goods into the respective markets, to
realize, at any cost, the amount required to meet their
calls ; and, with a declining continental trade, very few
orders having been forwarded thence lately, manufac-
turers are talking about working short time, the low
price at which yarns can now be purchased in Manchester
deterring them from flooding the market with any amount
of goods. The query now is, " Where is relief to come
from ? " As we have before said, we possess all the
means, and are, in fact, labouring under a plethora of
riches ; but we cannot use them. We have everything in
excess of stock ; the great staple, cotton, especially, with
the large anticipated crop, shows a surplusage of about
half-a-million bales over average requirements ; and we
are not likely to consume so much as usual. Everything
is favourable for the easy working of the social machine ;
but its wheels are clogged, and we are fast coming to a
dead lock. We have frequently given our opinions as to
the errors which prevail in our present financial code, and
we will only add here that we think the machinery wants
a little more oil. The English funds still wince under
the latest European infliction, and although Consols
opened on Saturday at an improvement of an ti;hth,
which was maintained until nearly the close of business,
some speculative sales rendered the market heavy. The
first quotation of Consols was 8411 to 1, and they left off
at 84a, sellers, both for money and account.
Prices in the SHARE market continue declining daily;
still money is said to be extremely abundant, and stock
scarce. The sellers in nearly every transaction are bears.
That prices should recede under these circumstances,
betrays a great want of confidence on the part of inves-
tors. London stock is to-day 99; do. 4—shares, 2 dis.;
Midland, 65 ; do. I-shares, 16 dis.
The arrivals to our CORN stores since the publication
of Friday's circulars comprise—Wheat, from Ireland 173
qrs., Europe 1170; Barley, coastwise 32 qrs., Europe 84 ;
Malt, Ireland 10 qrs., coastwise 65 ; Oats, Ireland 273
qrs., Europe 250; Oatmeal, Ireland 505 Ids., coastwise 9;
Flour, Ireland 252 sacks, coastwise 35. The exports are
—Wheat, for Ireland 397 qrs., coastwise 368; Barley,
coastwise 10 qrs. ; Malt, coastwise 20 qrs. ; Pease, coast-
wise 5 qrs.; Indian Corn, Ireland 3929 qrs., coastwise
103; Indian Corn Meal, Ireland 170 brls., coastwise 50;
Flour, Ireland 20 sks. 580 brls., coastwise 105 sks. 113 brls.
Notwithstanding a partial decline in the value of,kmost
articles of the trade in the English and Irish markets,
(particularly Indian Corn in the latter, to the extent of
2s. Gd. to ss. per ton at Belfast, and ss. per ton at Cork.
owing to the glut of Potatoes caused by dieging out to
prepare for Wheat,) no reaction of the advance obtained
at oar torn Exchange on Friday has been perceptible
here. There is a paucity of information in the agricultu-
ral letters which have come to hand, particularly as re-
gards the POTATO crop
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 21: From Tuesday Ir at till
Thursday we had an uninterrupted fall of snow which lay in
'places several inches deep. A large breadth of Oats and some
Beans still in the fields have suffered greatly. The Potato dis-
ease is also spreading.—Belfast, Oct. 19: The harvest is now,
even in the latest districts, closed, and scarcely a sheaf remains
out. Our farmers are busily engaged sowing, or preparing to
sow, winter Wheat, and in raising the Potato crop, for which
the weather is particularly favourable.—Waterford, Oct. 21 :
Our Potato market is kept well supplied, and good qualities
are 10. per stone cheaper than last week.
In the absence of news from the States, with regard to
the progress of the COTTON crop, owing to the missing
mail from New York, we are still without the latest in-
formation as to the probable yield, which, as the steam-
ship America will be up before we go to press, will be
found elsewhere. With a moderate demand, an eagerness
has been displayed this week to sell, and prices ale fully
kel. lower, which represents the market in a much worse
state than heretofore, inasmuch as a quotable decline
upon the 'present unprecedentedly low rates forms s
larger percentage. There was a slight improvement in
the demand on Saturday, but prices remained unchanged ;
and there has been a fair inquiry from the trade TO-DAY;
the sales, however, will not be more than 4000 or 4500
bales, fincluding some little for shipment,) chiefly Ame-
rican, from 21-d. to 5d., principally 3d. to 31(1. On the
whole, the market has assumed a steadier appearance,
and prices more regular. At the same time holders seem
disposed to meet the demand fully (but without the same
urgent anxiety) at Friday's quotations, which have been
rather more easily obtained.
We copy the following remarks on the TEA trade from
Messrs. T. & H. Littledale's hi-monthly ciroular :
The market continues inactive; holders have generally been
more disposed to effect sales, but the trade continues to refuse
increasing their stocks, consequently for the limited business
transacted the prices have been in favorof„the buyers for nearly
all kinds. Congous of fair to good common descriptions are
heavy of sale at 4d. per lb. decline ; also the blackish leaf and
Ho-How sorts are not so saleable, and for the good and fine
Pekoe kinds easier rates have been submitted to. Scented
Caper and Orange Pekoe—the former scarce and wanted, the
latter is id. told. per lb. lower. Greens—A fair demand exists
for Canton Imperials and Gunpowders at about previous rates;
nothing doing in these kinds of Twankay and Young Hyson :
good and fine Imperials and Hysous are ld. to 20. lower, hut
Young Hyson and Gunpowder maintain former prices.
On comparing prices with last month we find a decline
of id. per lb. in common, and 4d. to Id. on good and fine Con-
gous and Scented Orange Pekoes, and l d. to 2d. on good cad fine
Imperial and Hyson; Scented Capers are 10. per lb dearer.
We have seen a few musters of the new Congous, but they were
so much spoiled on the voyage home, that it is impossible to
judge of their quality, but in appearance and make of the leaf
we consider them quite equal to last season's."
With the exception of a large sale of Cheese, by auc-
tion, amounting to about 3,000 bales, which took place
last week, realising an advance of fully 2s. per cwt. upon
ithe previous sale, the AMERICAN PROVISION trade is very
barren of interest. Grease Butter is 2s. lower. The
present prices are.:—
•Cheese—(duty paid)—Fine, 4Cs to 52s per cwt. ;
40s to 45s ; ordinary, 30s to 28s. Beef—U.S. (free)—Prime
.mess, per tree. 3041 b, 87s 6d to 95s ; ordinary, 80s to 85s,
old —s to —a; extra, India, family, &c., —s to —s; ditto, per
half-barrel, 26s Gd to 38s ;—mess, per barrel, 2001 b., —s to —s ;

an salt, (free,) 30s to 345. 'Lard—(free)—Fine, in kegs and bar-
rels, 42s to 43s per cwt.; good, in do. do., 419 s to 41s; ordinary
to middling, 38s to 40s ; inferior, and grease, 30s to 365.

40s to 445. Soda Itscuit—(duty paid)-26s to 28s per cwt.
Apples—(duty paid)-12a to 17s per barrel.
There is positively nothing doing in lasses Butter.
The last-quoted prices are purely nominal, no sales hav-
ing taken place to effect any alteration ; and as the arri-
vals still continue large, (i.e., 10,244 firkins 1057 crocks
I for the week ending this day,) a fall in value appears in-
evitable. Bacon and Ham are nearly, if not quite, with-
out inquiry; and Lard is little better.

The transactions in the Scotch Pig IRON market have
been very limited, and prices are again in favour of the
buyer. For mixed numbers the price may be quoted
425. 6d. at Glasgow. and 51s. 6d. for No. 1, good brands,
f. o. b. here; 525. 6d. to 535. Gd. No. 1 Gartsherrie.—
The prices in the METAL markets generally are as fol-
follows :—Copper : braziers', 9d per lb. ; sheathing, 9d ;
tile and cake, £7B lOs per ton. Tin Plates, 1.C., £1 5s
to £1 lOs per box. Iron : Swedish, assorted, £l2 per
ton ; English bar, £5 17s Gd to £6 2s 6d ; nail rod, £6
15s •, sheet, £8 ; hoop, £7 15s ; nails, £25 to £3O.
Lead : sheet. £l6 lOs ; pig, £l5 ; red, £l7 ' • white, £2l.
Spelter, £l6 10s. Steel : Swedish, £l3 to £l4 per ton.
Quicksilver, 3s 6d per lb.
There is no change of moment to notice in the WooL
market. Business continues as dull as it well can be. A
sale of 950 bales East India, held here on Thursday, was
but thinly attended, and only half of them were sold, in
consequence of the low prices offered. There will be a
sale of East India and other low Wools on the 27th inst. ;
a good portion of the East India is of the better class.
Scotch has been in moderate demand, without change in
price. Imports for the week :—Foreign, from Bombay
474, previously 62,889 ; Scotch, 656, previously 13,497.
As an exception to the general tenor of this day's re-
port, the price of SILK has advanced Is. @ Is. 6d. per
it being considered that the crop in China will be small
this year. In the large business done latterly nearly
all the low and middle qualities have changed hands at an
advance of Is. per lb. The transactions have been con-
fined to the speculators. There has also been some im-
provement in the best qualities, which are 6d. to Is. per
lb. higher. The trade generally are waiting the result of
the public sale declared for 2nd of November, to see if the
advance is supported, as well as a confirmation of the
former news of a short supply. In Bengals the prices are
6d. to 9d. higher, and the stock very much reduced. In
Italian, Brussa, and Persian silk there is less disposition
on the part of the importers to sell, and the market is
firm, and but little offering. The deliveries at this port,
of China Silk, from 11th ult. to 19th inst., are 213 bales,
and our stock only 502 bales. In Silk Piece Goods,
during the month, there has been but little inquiry and
less disposition shewn by the importers to sell at present
rates.

MANSLAUGHTER.—On the 10th instant, an Irishman,
whose name is not known, and several others, were at an
inn in Oakhill, Somerset, where for some time they re-
mained drinking together, but nothing of any importance
was said by either party. The Irishman was very noisy,
but did not molest any one. Having left the house, he
was followed by a man named Sidney Bendall, a scuffle
ensued, the Irishman was thrown violently on the pave-
ment, and received a severe blow on his head, which caused
his death on the following day.
DEATH FROM THE FALL OF A BALE,—On the 9th of
Jane, while a man named Thomas Threlfall, aged 56
years, a carter, was receiving in his cart a load of hemp,
from Messrs. Jackson and Co.'s warehouse, in St. James'
street, a bale of the article, weighing between two and
three cwt., fell upon him, from the door of the third
story, just as it was about to be lowered by the teagle,
and seriously injured him. It appeared, at the time, that
the cane band by which the hemp was slung had given
way ; and it is stated that it is usual and safer not to trust
to this, but to secure such package by a regular rope
string. The man was sent to the Infirmary, where he
1 ngered from the effeas of the injuries until yesterday
•
morning, when he died.

LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY TO THE LONDON
SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY
AMONGST THE JEWS.

At a committee meeting, held on the 20th instant, at
the Clarendon Rooms, the Secretary having called atten-
tion to a letter from the Rev. Wm. Withers Ewbank,
Everton, addressed to the editor of the Liverpool Courier,
and which appeared in that paper on Wedneseay last, the
18th instant, the following resolutions were adopted :
" That this Committee regard with feelings of extreme
regret the distressing occurrences which took place at the
annual meeting of the Liverpool Association of the Society
for Promoting Christianity amongst act Jews, on Monday
last, and especially as they involved a very painful collision
between two of its most valued and respected members.

" That without pronouncing any opinion a= to the right
of any member to address the meeting, this Committee
believe that it is competent to the chairman, in his nificial
capacity, to pronounce whether such member is or is not
in order.

" That this Committee is further of opinion that the
recognition of a right of discussion, on theological sub-
jects, at our anniversary meetings, would be the intedue-
tion of a most dangerous and inconvenient precedent.
" That this Committee regrets exceedirgly that Mr.
Ewbank, as one of its members, did not think fit to com-
municate his intention in Committee on some ocree-ion
previous to the holding of the meeting on Monday last ;.
and that when his intention became known during the
meeting he did not yield to the earnest and affectionate .
remonstrances addressed to him by several of his clerical
brethren before he arose to speak.
" That this Committee altogether disclaim the desire to
confine the advocacy of the Jewish cause at their anniver-
saries, within the circle of those who hold the views of
unfulfilled prophecy, usually denominated ;
and that upon the other hand it appears that a well-known.
clergyman of the town, holding the opposite opinions, was
in fact solicited by the secretaries to speak on last Mon-
day evening.
That this Committee cannot separate without record-
ing th2ir opinion that Dr. M'lsTeile, in the exercise of his
undoubted right, in a sudden and difficult emergency,
acted with a simple view to the promotion of the best in-
terests of the Society ; neither can they refrain from ex-
pressing their regret that anything should have occurred
in the management of the meetiug, or, otherwise, to create
an impression, however mistaken, in the mind of Mr. Ew-
bank, of an intention to deal unfairly or unkindly_ by
him."

That the resolutions now passed be published in the
Liverpool Mail, Standard, and Courier newspapers,•to-
gether with the letter of Dr. M'Neile, addressed to the
Secretaries, and read at this meeting.
(Signed) C. W. LAWRENCE, Chairman.

TO THE SECRETARIES OF THE LIVERPOOL
AUXILIARY TO THE JEWS SOCIETY.

MY DEAR Sias,—As Chairman of your recent Annual
Meeting, I beg your attention to the few following re-
m irks, and request that they may be laid before our Com-
mittee.

I th'nk that no member of any of our Committees whet
allows the arrangements of our Anniversaries to be made,
without any remonstrance in Committee, has any right
after to intrude an interruption to those arrangements at
the public meeting, such arrangements being the act of
the whole Committee, whether all the members have ac-
tually assembled to discuss them or not.

The case is different with a subscriber to the society
who is not a member of the Committee, and who has no
opportunity to remonstrate, except on the occasion of our
annual appeal to our constituency ; though even in that
case, I think if he were indeed a friend of the society, he
would appeal first to the Committee, either by letter or
by personal communication to some friend on the Com-
mittee.

if Mr. Ewbank thought our Jews Society Committee
was one-sided, and their arrangements, year after year,
one-sided, he should, I think, have said so, kindly and
frankly, in committee, and proposed the addition to our
numbers of certain names calculated to make the com-
mittee, in his opinion, a fairer representation of our whole
constituency.
Not having done so, his attempt to interfere with our
proceedings by an appeal to the public meeting, was, in
my judgment, such a departure from established usage
and order, as called for the exercise of the chairman's
authority to resist it.
If I be mistaken in this oinion, I shall be happy to be
set right. But whether it shall appear, on due inquiry,
that I was right or wrong on the occasion, i hope you will
agree with me in thinking that ➢ir. Evrbank ought to have
yielded, for the time, to the decision of the chair, reserving
an appeal on what he considered his right for a calm and
competent tribunal, instead of resisting both the autho-
rity of the chair and the manifested feeling of the meeting,
in a way which could possibly lead to nothing but con-
fusion and noise.

Mr. Ewbank complains of want of f it play—but, I
think it is the committee who have cause to make the
complaint against one of their members, who, without
friendly remonstrance, attempted a public reproof.
Mr. Ewbank says, he has spoken upon the subject re-
peatedly to the secretaries, and has recently stated his
views in writing to one of them, Mr. Boutfiower. All I
can answer to this is, that I never heard of it before—no
communication of the kind having ever, to my knowledge,
been the subject of discussion in the committee. And, I
feel confident that, had Mr. Ewbank come to the com-
mittee and expressed a wish to speak at the annual meet-
ing, his name would have been put upon the list.
Should the committee decide upon any public statement
in consequence of what has occurred, I respectfully re-
quest that this letter, as it stands, may be included in such
publication. _ _ _

In conclusion, I beg to assure you that should the com-
mittee eventually resolve that my decision in the chair
was incorrect, however well intended, I will most cordially
acquiesce, and receive your vote as a ruled instruction to
chairmen, whatever may be the result at any of your meet-
ings. I feel that without full and hearty submission in
such matters, to the voice of a majority, we cannot main-
tain even the semblance or unity ; and I value unity far
beyond any one side of any of our conventional arrange-
ments in which no vital truth is compromised.
Believe me, dear Sirs, very faithfully your's,
Aigburth, 0ct.19, 1848. HUGH 111'NEILE.

CIRQUE NATIONAL DE PARIS-ROYAL

AMPHITHEATRE.

Mons. Dejean, the able director of this unrivalled troop
of equestrians, fought with his regiment against the in-
surgents at Paris on the memorable days of June last,
and received three wounds, and it was not until he was
totally disabled, after receiving his third wound, that this
brave soldier left his post during that severe contest for
the destinies of his country. He ranks high in the esti-
mation of his countrymen, and we feel assured he will
be equally respected in England, if for nothing else than
his endeavours to merit public support for his enterprise
in crossing the British Channel. After innumerable diffi-
culties encountered at Havre in transporting so extensive
an establishment, the first representation took place at
our Amphitheatre last evening, and we have to congratu-
late our townsmen upon the great treat again afforded to
them in witnessing the variety of entertainments in store
for them during the winter evenings. In addition to all
the distinguished favourite artistes of last season, there
are several new ones who make their first appearance in
Liverpool. Mdlie. Caroline Loyo displayed her extra-
ordinary powers of saddle riding on that fine animal
" Jupiter," cheval de haute ecole ; Mdlle. Hadwiger her
bold and adventurous feats, without either saddle or
bridle, and Mdlle Palmira Annato, by her grace and the
perfect manner in which -she executes her exercises,
meriting a continuance of the high enthusiasm ' with
which she is received wherever she goes : some novel
music, expressly composed for her, accompanied her per-
formance. Young Loisset and little Marie Annato ap-
peared, in that beautiful, but perilous, exercise the
` Highlander and Sylph." Mdlle. Paul and Mdlle.
Augustine Cerg are the names of the new female eques-
trians, and are talented riders. Messieurs Auriol L'Erlair
and Young Auriol were all alive and stirring, which,
together with a new comique, named " Mahothet,"
amused the audience with their eccentricities and extre-
ordinary feats. Mons. limner, the skilful director of the
band, is again come from Paris with it, and his taste in
selections which accompany the performances adds much
to the general gratification.
ROYAL TENDERNESS. —At the Mayor's dinner, on
Thursday, his worship, in proposing the health of her
Mnjesty, alluded to her liberality on the occasion of the
loss ofthe Ocean Monarch, and stated thathe thought it was
due to her Majesty to mention a little circumstance of
which they were not aware, connected with the loss of
that unfortunate vessel : -A little child about three years
of age was saved—it was unknown—unclaimed by any
one and unable to give any account of itself, it formed,
amidst the general distress, one of the most touching,
because the most destitute, cases. This circumstance
reached the ears and arrested the maternal sympathy of
her Majesty, who immediately, with that quiet and unos-
tentatious benevolence whici, ever characterises her, pri-
vately intimated her intention to have the child taken care
of, respectably educated, and put forward in the position
in life to which it appeared to belong. This benevolent
intention, which, if carried into effect, would probably
not have been allowed to have transpired, has only been
frustrated by the discovery of the natural guardians of the
child, to whom it has been restored.
" Boz's" JUBA, AND G. W. PELL'S CELEBRATED
ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.—From the high tribute of ap-
plause bestowed on this company, by the whole of the
editors of the London, Brighton, and Manchester journals,
who have witnessed their performances within the last
two months, it gives us great pleasure to announce that
the Liverpool public will shortly be equaliv gratified with
the many thousands who visited them in those localities
They will appear at the Theatre Royal, Williamson-
square, on the 7th of November, for the first time. Mr.
Pell is himself the most celebrated player on "the bones"
the world has yet produced ; and the whole of his com-
pany, in their ;respective departments,—sing negro
melodies of great novelty, playing the banjo, dancing, &e, ;
but the wonder of the wonders of this humorous band is
"Juba," a youth only seventeen years of age, whose feats
as a singer and dancer must be heard and seen, for our
contemporaries acknowledge their inadequacy to do them
justice by description. His drollery and volubility of ut-
terance, when required, are truly astonishing. His
dancing casts all previous efforts in this line into
the shade, and is so flexible, so rapid in change,
and is so altogether novel, as to establish, in
his own person, what may be called ar vpicty of
physical phenomena, before deemed beyond 'tlielischieti 1.
of man. We way add that he is the ver:table youth whom
" Boz," (or " Dickens") so graphically describes in his
" American Sketches," and say no more -to conciliate a
warm reception of these foreigners on
.their -arrival.
When we have seen them we shall enlarge upon their per-
formances more particularly.
