TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,-1 beg to trouble you with the following remarks
respecting a nuisance attending the arrival of the Boston
and New York steamers, w Inch, I feel confident, might
be done away with, if the inhabitants of the town and
neighbourhood would only come to a resolution chewing
their entire disapprobation of it.
Between twelve and one o'clock this morning, I was
awoke by the roaring of cannon, and the windows being
nearly forced out of their frames ; in a minute or two the
report was repeated, which, to me, sounded louder than
the loudest clap of thunder I had ever beard, I remem-
bered that the Great Western was due, and concluded it
must be her, which proved to be the case, and to the best
of my knowledge the noise was repeated six times, at
intervals of two to three minutes ; on crossing the water,
on my way to business, I named the subject to several
gentlemen, who, nearly without an exception, said that
they and their families had been disturbed, and lost
several hours of rest.

In cases of sickness, I feel sure, the consequences might
be very serious. If there were any object to be gained by
the continuance of such a nuisance, it would be another
matter, but whilst the steamers arrive so punctually, and
are regularly telegraphed, I do think exhibiting the usual
blue lights and sky rockets as they come round the Fort,
ought to be sufficient to have steamers, jarvies, hotel
omnibuses, in readiness.

It is an evil which has grown up since steamers first
crossed the Atlantic, and it it be not now put a stop to,
it will increase; as our friends on the otberside the
Atlantic are building steamers to run between this and
New York. I feel confident if a few of the leading inhabit-
ants of the good old town would represent the matter to
the wcrthy chief magistrate, that be would take steps to
prevent its recurrence. _ .

I don't wish to make the slighest reflection upon the
commander or any of his officers, being perfectly aware
that they only did in this instance what they considered
customary. The Hibernia, which arrived late on Satur-
day night, was also the cause of much annoyance.
Your obedient servant,
ALPHA.

doubt, all be unanimously elected. One of the laws of
the Club renders it imperative that every gentleman pro-
posed should be balloted for on his becoming a member.
A DETERMINED MAN.—The patient perseverance
of some of those who have come determined to see the
Queen, is at once ludicrous and affecting. On man in
particular, a few days ago, took his post on the road-side,
opposite the grand entrance, and there bivouacked for
about 12 hours at a stretch, with no other amusement
than noticing the passers by, or observing the periodical
change in the relief of the guard, whose time of watch
fell so far short of his own. Nothing could, however, di-
vert him from his purpose. He coolly took his seat on the
dike, took out his bread and cheese, and allowed observa-
tion and refreshment to go on tot ether, till at last he was
rewarded, as perseverance is always sure to be, by two
excellent views of the Sovereign he had come to see, as
she went and returned from her afternoon drive of that
day.—Scotch paper.

LATEST FROM THE RIVER PLATE.

By the arrival of the Danish barque, Sara Johanna,
Wittleren, at Falmouth, we have papers and advices from
Buenos Ayres and Laplata, the latter to the Ist of August.
There is no allusion in these to the rumour circulated here
of the assistance said to be provided by the Imperial Go'
veernment to Monte Video, and the 'reported relation of
Rosas may be treated as equally fallacious. The follow-
ing letter, dated Buenos Ayres, July 26th, the day before
the vessel's sailing from that port, appeared in the Time
of yesterday.—

By the packet which sailed a few days since we sent
you a newspaper of this city, which contained a kind of
declaration of the causes of complaint which this Govern-
ment has against that of Brazil. The publication is not
in an official form, but everybody here knows that noth-
ing political can be published without the express consent
of the Governor, and that almost all political ,articles are
published by his order. This declaration will, however,
be of no importance, if General Paz, and the officers who
embarked at Monte Video with him, do not commence
fresh hostilities against the Government either by attack-
ing Oribe from the Brazilian frontier, or by passing
through the Brazilian territory to the province of Corri-
entes, and there joining the enemies of General Rosas.
" Should the Brazilian Government permit either of
these things, serious consequences may follow, but we in-
cline to think General ltosas will hesitate about declaring
war against Brazil, for the result would be most serious
and fatal to him. Thus far the question has had but
slight effect on the price of specie, which is the best cri-
terion of public feeling here.
" It is not unlikely Monte Video will soon fall into the
hands of Oribe, for want and misery are very great there,
viz., in the city which under Rivera's Government, be-
fore 1843, was the most flourishing city in all South
America without any exception.
" Should the Brazils get into a war with Buel3o Ayres,
it would probably ultimately lead to the free navigation
of the rivers Parana and Unaguay through the interference
of England and France."

7 P.M.
Since writing the foregoing the Peterel packet, Lieut.
Creser, from the Brazils, has hove in sight off the Mana-
cles, and is now working into port. The Peterel's ar-
rival will solve the question about the commercial treaty,
which has been so anxiously alluded to of late in the
papers, in connexion with the Peterel's presumed deten-
tionat Rio for its completion.

SPAlN.—lnformation was received at Perpignan on the
22nd, that a revolutionary movement had been made at
Carthagena: that similar movements were discovered in
many parts of Catalonia : that the authorities had taken
measures to suppress them : and that the Directors of
the Posts, the Director of Customs, and one of the
Judges of Mataro had been arrested.
The subscription for the Manchester Parks has now
reached £21,000.

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The receipts at
this festival last week amounted to £530, being £3 less
than the sum received at a similar festivity in 1841.
Tqe barque Winscales, of this port, arrived off Fal-
mouth on Saturday night and landed a mail from Rio de
Janiero.

WEST RIDING REGISTRATION.—The Conservatives
are triumphing gloriously at the Registration Courts for
West Yorkshire. Up to Thursday night they had a clear
gain of fifty-one. _

- INVITATION TO LOUIS PHILIPPE.—His worship the
Mayor has endeavoured to procure Liverpool the honour
of a visit from Louis Philippe by inviting his Majesty to
a dinner at the Town-hall.

NEW VILLAGE OF STANLEY.—The inhabitants of the
rapidly increasing neighbourhood near St. Anne's Church,
West Derby, have given the name of " Stanley" to their
improving locality.
GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.—A handsome service of
silver plate, weighing 605 ounces, has been presented to
E. H. Phillips, Esq., of Pontypoool for services rendered
by him in the Bankruptcy of the Ebbw Vale Iron Works,
in winding up the affairs.
MR. LATHAM'S TRIPE SUPPERS.—We call the at-
tention of our readers to Mr. Latham's advertisement of
the resumption of these suppers, which last season gave
such great satisfaction. We can assure them that Mr.
L. does not do things by haves, but on the contrary,
when he provides tripe, provides something to assist it.
A sermon was preached on Sunday last in St. John's
Church, by the Rev. Mr. Falloon, in behalf of the
Church of England School Society, after which a collec-
tion was made amounting to £26 3s 5d., inclusive of £5
—being a donation from the Rev. Jas. Heyworth, nephew
of the late lamented Jas. Heyworth, of Everton, Esq.
TOM THUMB.—The General has been recefved at his
levees during the week, with such unequivocal applause,
that he has announced his intention of prolonging his stay
for seven nights longer, which will enable our fellow-
towns-men and towns-women to pay him another visit.
If there are any who have not seen the "little darling,"
as the ladies call him, they must not lose this, perhaps
their last opportunity. We can assure them they will not
regret the visit.
THEATRE-ROYAL.—Madlle. Fanny Ellsler and her
talented companions concluded their engagement on Fri-
day evening ; and last night John Parry, the amu:ing
Buffo singer, who joined the Theatre during the week,
took his benefit. The regular company is now reinforced
by the services of that old favorite of the Liverpool public.
Mr. Baker, and are playing a succession of Standard
Tragedy and Comedy. To-morrow, it will be seen, the
Patrician's daughter will be performed for the first time
at this Theatre.

ANDERSON'Srr
MR.
of figures cut in frie-stone, by Mr. Anderson, the self-
taught Scottish statuary, and illustrative of a most inter-
esting passage in Burns's poem of "The Cottar's Satur-
day Night,' continue to attract much attention ; and those
who hare a taste for this high branch of art, will lose a
treat if they fail to inspect them. They consist of six
principal figures, male and female, and also an infant and
two dogs, all as largs as life. The attitudes are natural,
the countenances most expressive, and the whole a
perfect embodyment of the purpose and meaning of the
bard. In the details, even of the drapery, they are so
accurately wrought out as to excite surprise, that, in a
material comparatively so rude, an effect so striking and
characteristic of virtuous rural life could be achieved. We
would fain dilate, but are restrained, for want of space,
until another occasion. Mr. A previously exhibited in
our town his " Watty ann Meg," his " Tam o' Shanter,"
&c.; but in the present groug he outshines all his former
productions. _

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—At the Police-court,
yesterday, a youngish man, named John gisb, was charged
before Mr. Rushton with having appropriated sundry
sums, the property of his employer. Mr. Thomas Col-
lins, corn-factor, Brunswick-street, stated that the pri-
soner had been in his service, as a clerk, for six or seven
months, but that he had discharged him about six weeks
ago. The prisoner's business was to receive money dur-
ing his (Mr. Collins') absence, and to band it over to him
on his return, when he was out of town. He was also
authorised to collect debts in the town, and regularly to
account for the same. It was at length found that he had
received a sum which be had not paid over; and, after
being apprehended, other amounts were, it appeared, un-
accounted for,—the payment and his receipts being sworn
to by the clerks of the respective parties. He had called
upon them in the name of Mr. Collins, and received from
Messrs. Richardson Brothers and Co., commission mer-
chants, £lO 10s. 4d. ; from Messrs. Archer, Daly, and
Co., 17s. 10d. ; from Messrs. Blain and Co., £1 Ils. 4d.;
from Mr. T. Scott, £1 18s Od., and other sums, at various
times, from the Bth of March to July, and had not paid
the amounts over. The prisoner, on being apprehended,
and told the charge against him, said to the officer
(Greaves)—" It is a bad job for me ; I wish I were dead."
He was committed for trial at the sessions.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 30.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, SEPr. 30.
There has been a good deal of excitement in our Butter Mat'
yet during the last week, in consequence of an influential house
in the trade having bought every thing good that was offered'
Prices are fully 2s. to as per cwt. higher. The sellers of Cori‘
pickled Butter are few in number, and we ncte an adance 0
price of the article of about 3s. per cwt.—The government coil',
tract of beef and pork is taken at a high price; and the stock

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 30. 5
Thro ,ghout the whole of last week the Cotton market 06
almost inanimate; on Friday and Saturday, however. there 0,
more inquiry, and a firmer tone about it. Tne arrivals of
two steamers (as noticed elsewhere) has caused no change'
otherwise than that holders shew their stocks more freely ill 4.
last week, and buyers to-day have done business more to Ole'
minds than of late. 5,;00 bales have been sold entirely to CO°:s
sumers. All seem to thiuk that the accounts from the Stitt
will tend to keep prices steady.
