TO THE INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL,
THE NOBILITY,
CLERGY, GENTRY, AND FAMILIES

THROUGHOUT THE
NORTH OF ENGLAND AND WALES.
WE have now been in operation Two Years, and the
result already achieved in so short a period proves,
more than anything else can do, the truth of our state-
ments. The enlarged and increasing patronage we have
received at both our Establishments enable us very ma-
terially to add to the advantages previously offered. Our
system, we repeat, is, first, to sell a good article, and,
secondly, to sell it cheap, FOR READY MONEY.
Mere cheapness alone, unless accompanied with quality,
is only deception, and our success mainly depended upon
keeping this point in view.
Within the last few weeks a limited portion of the new
Season's Teas have arrived both here and in London,
from which we have made selections, and, judging from
the present arrivals, the quality surpasses the average of
former years. Our advices from China intimate large
shipments of superior and useful qualities to arrive in the
English markets, which will become available within a
short period ; consequently, we are justified in anticipating
the means of supplying our supporters with quality quite
equal, if not superior, to any we have doss since our
commencement.
Our present Prices range thus for sound qualities :-

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 9.
The trade, which opened with some improvement on Monday,
has since been held in check by the flagging aspect of the Liver-
pool market, and the week's business has, on the whole, been
such as to require no particular observation.
The agricultural markets of the east of England, whence the
manufacturing districts receive large supplies, continue very
firm, and in some instances prices have advanced during the
week.
Wakefield was steady yesterday: Liverpool flat, and prices
scarcely supported.
Our market to-day is slow for every article : the value of
Wheat and Flour is nominally the same as on this day week.
Oats id per bushel, and Meal 3d per load lower, with very little
inquiry for either. Malt and Beans dull at late prices.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-03-12

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

On Monday last, Mr. Holt, one of the proprietors of
the Age newspaper was tried and found guilty of having
published a libel which imputed to Lord William Paget,
that he had planted Winter, the witness on a late trial,
under the sofa of his house, in pursuance of a vile and art-
ful scheme to extort money from Lord Cardigan. The de-
fendant was brought up in custody from the Queen's
Prison, where he is confined for a libel on the Duke of
Brunswick.
IMPORTANT TO THE HOLDERS OF DISHONOURED
BILLS.—In the Manchester District Court of Bankruptcy,
on Saturday week, Mr. Commissioner Jemmett delivered
an elaborate judgment in the bankruptcy case of Messrs-
J. and J. Potter, to the effect that the owners of disho.
noured bills of exchange were not obliged to give notice of
the nonpayment to the assignees of a bankrupt drawer,
acceptor, or endorser, but notice must be given to the
parties to the bill, according to the custom of merchants.

LORD CAMPBELL'S LAW OF LIBEL BILL.—The fol-
lowing is a sketch of the brief bill introduced into the
House of Lords by Lord Campbell. The bill is entitled,
" A bill to permit evidence of the truth V...facts on the
trial of public prosecutions for libel, or seditious words."
The preamble sets forth, as the motive of the bill, that
" it is expedient that all cases of prosecution by informa-
tion or indictment by her Majesty's Attorney-General,
or on behalf of the crown, for making or publishing any
libel, or speaking any seditious words, which libel or
words state facts alleged by the said information or in-
dictment to be false, the defendant should be permitted,
on such notice as hereinafter mentioned, to give evidence,
on the trial of such information or indictment, of the
truth of such facts." The sole clause of this bill enacts
that in all cases of prosecution on behalf of the crown
for libel, &c. and that it may be lawful on behalf of the
prosecution to give evidence on their falsity, &c. The bill
has been read a second time, and referred to a com-
mittee.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARC n 8,

The duty on foreign Rye has declined this week to gs 6d, and
on Beans to 10s 6d per qr., with a reduction on each of those
articles from British Colonies to Is and as 6d per qr. respectively.
The supplies into this port since Monday last are to a mode.
rately fair extent of Oatmeal and Flour, being nearly all we have
in during that time from Ireland. Of Wheat the arrivals con-
sist of several cargoes from Berwick and Newcastle; beyond
which, with s ‘me parcels of Oats from the West Coast of Scot-
land, and 500 qrs. of Beans from Egypt, we have little fresh in to
notice.

In the interval from Tuesday last we have experienced a very
quiet limited trade generally, but no material change in prices.
Except a few Yorkshire dealers, directing their inquiries to
Oats and Oatmeal, we had very little appearance of country
buyers at our Corn Exchange to-day ; our home millers at the
same time remaining extremely inactive, all sorts of English,
Irish, and Foreign free Wheat continued to meet an exceedingly
dull lingering sale, and in any instance our last quotations were
scarcely maintained. Flour in general was equally difficult to
sell, and the turn cheaper.
Barley, the maltsters and dealers still refusing to purchase,
seemed to be wholly neglected, thereby rendering prices nominal
at present; and Malt was in siow request on the terms previ-
ously noted. Beans and Pease also were in 1 mited demand, but
not lower in value.

Oats, independent of a few thousand bushels taken by country
buyers, moved off sparingly at the rates of Tuesday last; and
Oatmeal, without any speculative inquiry, was very little noticed
by consumers, although freely offered at a further decline of 3d
per 2401 b.
For cargoes of bonded and floating Wheat there are still some
inquiries, but the terms required continuing to be resisted by
those disposed to purchase, no sales have transpired during the
week.

The London Polytechnic Magazine.

The third number is received, and judging from the
number and the merits of the papers by distinguished
men which crowd in upon the editor, and many of which
he must necessarily hold in reserve from want of room,
we should say that the work may be considered as already
established, and will become highly acceptable to the
scientific world. The article "On toe Arts and Manu-
factures of the Esquimaux " is here concluded, and con-
tains many interesting facts relative to that simple and
singular people. The " Observations on the Internal
Heat of Earth "—as indicated by the existence of vol-
canoes, earthquakes, hot springs, igneous rocks, tempera-
ture of mines, &c., is very interesting and curious. There
is also a well written article on " The Mines in the
North of Spain." " The Carriage Ways of England,"
in which the comparative merits of the several kinds of
pavement now in use—macadamised roads, asphalte,
boulder-pitched, granite, limestone and sandstone
roads, and wooden pavements—are set forth. The
author gives a preference to granite paving stones,
as the most durable, which (if they be well laid
down) will scarcely be denied—but they are expensive.
We think, however, he rather underrates the merits of
macadamized roads; and still more those of wooden
pavements—laying far too much stress on their slippiness
in wet weather, which he assumes cannot be remedied
either by a thin coating of sand, or by grooving. We
can only say that we have several portions of street laid
down here with grooved wooden pavement, and that we
have neither witnessed nor heard of horses continually
falling upon it. We may remark, however, that one por-
tion, over which very heavy carts continually pass daily
there are indications of it not standing—the pavement
having become (though not laid 12 months) a little uneven
and here and there somewhat loose, apparently from the
giving way or yielding of the bed of concrete below.
Time will however decide the question. There are other
interesting papers and reviews of scientific works in the
number—to which we can but refer.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY.

On the motion of Mr. Gladstone the following mem-
bers were nominated a select committee on classification
of railway bills, in conformity with the fifth resolution
on railways :—Mr. Baring, Sir C. Lemon, Mr. Rice, Mr.
Acland, and Sir J. Walsh, with power to send for per-
sons, papers, and records.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that no motion, if opposed,
should be brought forward and discussed in that House
after midnight. After some further remarks, the Hon.
member said he was convinced one-half of the time of
the House was now consumed in idle debates. (Loud
cries of " Hear, hear," from the Ministerial benches,
which was several times repeated.) There was great
complaint against the late Government for not proceeding
with important business, but he did not think that a
change of administration had been of any benefit to the
public.
Mr. BROTHERTON seconded the motion, which was
ost by a majority of 146 to 16.
Lord ASHLEY said the House were spared the inflic-
tion of a long and painful statement by the assent of
Government to the proposition of which he had given
notice—that a select committee be appointed to inquire
into the mode of administering relief to the sick poor
under the provisivs of the Poor Law Amendment Act,
and to report the evidence taken before them with their
opinions to the House.
The report of the committee on the army estimates was
brought up, and the House adjourned.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MARCH 6.

During the present week inereased firmness has been mani-
fested by holders of English Wheat, and on the few sales made
a trifling advance was obtained. Malting Barley a dull sale,
and secondary qualities rather lower. Oats have barely sus-
tained last week's currency. For Beans some improvement is
demanded.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

On Monday last, Mr. Holt, one of the proprietors of
the Age newspaper was tried and found guilty of having
published a libel which imputed to Lord William Paget,
that he had planted Winter, the witness on a late trial,
under the sofa of his house, in pursuance of a vile and art-
ful scheme to extort money from Lord Cardigan. The de-
fendant was brought up in custody from the Queen's
Prison, where he is confined for a libel on the Duke of
Brunswick.

IMPORTANT TO THE HOLDERS OF DISHONOURED
BILLS.—In the Manchester District Court of Bankruptcy,
on Saturday week, Mr. Commissioner Jemmett delivered
an elaborate judgment in the bankruptcy case of Messrs-
J. and J. Potter, to the effect that the owners of disho.
noured bills of exchange were not obliged to give notice of
the nonpayment to the assignees of a bankrupt drawer,
acceptor, or endorser, but notice must be given to the
parties to the bill, according to the custom of merchants.
LORD CAMPBELL'S LAW OF LIBEL BILL.—The fol-
lowing is a sketch of the brief bill introduced into the
House of Lords by Lord Campbell. The bill is entitled,
" A bill to permit evidence of the truth of facts on the
trial of public prosecutions for libel, or seditious words."
The preamble sets forth, as the motive of the bill, that
" it is expedient that all cases of prosecution by informa-
tion or indictment by her Majesty's Attorney-General,
or on behalf of the crown, for making or publishing any
libel, or speaking any seditious words, which libel or
words state facts alleged by the said information or in-
dictment to be false, the defendant should be permitted,
on such notice as hereinafter mentioned, to give evidence,
on the trial of such information or indictment, of the
truth of such facts." The sole clause of this bill enacts
that in all cases of prosecution on behalf of the crown
for libel, &c. and that it may be lawful on behalf of the
prosecution to give evidence on their falsity, &c. The bill
has been read a second time, and referred to a com-
mittee.
