LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 3

Ous market is kept very bare of good,—indeed of all descriP-
tions of Butter, and prices appear to harden every wcck.
consumption of the manufacturing districts is immense'
a good augury I Still, but little doing in pickled Butter, and of
currency is unaltered. An opinion prevails, that the price 01
Irish Provh-ions will be well upheld this season ; in consequence
of a great likelihood of there being very diminished suPPlie!
from the other side of the Atlantic. In Bacon, we hear of 13';
brisk operation as yet ;—though it is looked upon with rather
an eye of f vour by speculators.

LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRK, AND PRESTON
RAILWAY.
THE Chairman of the North Union Railway Com-
pany, in presiding at the late meeting of the Com-
pany, having expressed himself in a perfectly unauthorised
manner with respect to my connexion with the Liverpool,
Ormskirk, and Preston Company, I feel it to be a duty
to the other Gentlemen engaged in that undertaking, as
well as to myself, to state that the address to the Share-
holders, of the 11th of December, subscribed by ne,
was published with my full concurrence; that every opi-
nion therein expressed I still fully maintain ; and, so far
from seeing anything in the North Union Chairman's
arguments to shake my belief in the soundness of the
scheme, or make me wish to withdraw from it, I look
upon it as a measure of such unquestionable public utility
that it shall have my warmest support both in and out of
Parliament.
