OASTLER LIBERATION FUND.
A T a MEETING for the promotion of the above ob-
ject, held at the Commercial-hall, Gloucester-street,
on THURSDAY, the 28th December,-
Mr. JOHN WILKINS° in the Chair,
le(N
The following Resolutions were animonsly agreed to :
Moved by Mr. T. SMITH, sec ded by W. B. FERRAND,
Esq., .P.,
" That this Meeting, looking upon Richard Oastler as
a true and devoted friend of the human race, as exhibited
in his long and unwearied exertions in defence of the fac-
tory children and the labouring classes generally, and feel-
ing assured that his unflinching advocacy of such cause
has been the means of his long imprisonment, feel bound,
by every tie of benevolence and Christian duty, to exert
themselves for his liberation."
Moved by Mr. WHATHAM, and seconded by
Mr. G. CLAY,
" That collecting books be provided, and every legiti-
mate means used to carry out the foregoing objects, and
that the following gentlemen constitute a committee for
the purpose :—Mr. R. Harbord, Mr. H. Bentley, Mr. T.
Inman, Mr. T. Smith, Mr. G. Clay, Mr. J. Harrison,
Mr. H. Harbord, Mr W. Wagstaff.
Moved by Mr. ROBERT M'CLAY, seconded by Mr. Joint

HOWARD,
" That the hearty and sincere thanks of the Meeting be
given to W. B. Ferrand, Esq., M.P., for his kindness in
attending as a deputation."
The cordial thanks of the Meeting were then voted to
the Chairman.

Subscriptions in aid of the object will be received at
the offices of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Mail, and
Courier, and by any Member of the Committee.

FOREIGN .5- COLONIAL _INTELLIGENCE.

INDIA AND CHINA.

We have accounts from Calcutta to 19th November,
Alexandria to 13th December, and Malta to 18th instant.
Nothing of importance had transpired regarding the army
of exercise, except that each man is to be provided with
100 rounds of ammunition extra. Opthalmia to a consi-
derable extent had broken out in her Majesty's 10th foot.
Sickness prevailed at Sukkur. Dost Mahommed has
been murdered by order of the King of Bokhara.

We regret to announce the death of Mr. Morrison, the
eminent Chinese scholar. Paymaster Routh, 15th Hus-
sars, has been sentenced to seven years' transportation.
The Great Liverpool having sustained damage, went on
from Malta with one engine only.

. From Loodianah there has been received news of the
probable existence of Colonel Stoddart, but Captain
Connolly, it is said, has been executed.

The whole Lushkur, since the 26ulf-. has been in a state
of riot, the Maharaj having again revclted, and the troops
of the Grand Jinsee havirg joined. All is tranquil in the
Lower and Upper Sciode. Disturbances continue in
Schekawate, and are likely to prove very serious. The
report- of Heer Singh's murder is positively contradicted.
The Marwar succession has been settled in favour of
Ahmednuggur. Tokhl Singh has been unanimously
elected King of Mal war, and his son accompanies him as
Prince• Royal. Mr. James Thomason has been appointed
Lient-Governor of the northwest provinces. Lord Ellen-
borough has resolved on revisiting the northwestern pro-
vinces.

FREIGHTS.—In the absence of very numerous arrivals
lately rates of freight for dead weight have somewhat ral-
lied, and should there not be any great influx of shipping
during the next few days, it may be expected that a fur-
ther improvement will take place, probably, however,
of only a temporary nature, as a considerable quantity of
vessels will be arriving from the Mauritius, and other
ports ; light freights no change.
EXCHANGE.—Bnt little alteration has taken place in
exchange since our last. Bills with documents, at 10
month's date, are offering at from is llid to is llid, but
purchasers are disinclined to take them under 2s. A
transaction, we hear, to a large amount has been effected
at is 111 d, 10 months' date, against a consignment of
indigo, at Co's rupees, 160 per and advance. Treasury
Bills, is 10.3,d to is 100.

ARRIVAL OF THE " INDEPENDENCE. "-RE-
CEIPT OF THE PRESIDENF'S MESSAGE.

By the packet-ship Independence. which arrived in the
Mersey about two o'clock on Wednesday, we have re-
ceived the President's Message to Congress, and New
'York papers to the 7th ult. inclusive. Of course, the
all-important topic of discussion is the message, which
was delivered to Congress on the sth instant, and occu-
pies between three or four columns of the American jour-
nals. We subjoin a summary :
It appears that negociations have been prosecuted in
London to procure the settlement of the Orregon bound-
ary ; but they have thus far been unavailing. Congress
is advised to establish military ports on the line travelled
by emigrants, to extend the laws of the States over them,
and to urge the claims of the States to the whole country
.on
the Pacific and to the 54 deg. 40m. line of N. lati-
tude.
The cases of detentions of the American vessels by
British cruizers are in a fair way of adjustment.
Great Britain admits rice from Africa to her ports at a
duty of Id a quarter, and taxes American rice 20s. This
is said to be contrary to the treaty of 1815.
With all the other European powers the relations of
the States are in state quo. The negociation of a treaty
with the German states, comprising twenty-seven mil-
lions of people, is in progress.
I%lexico has threatened America with a war if they at-
tempt to annex Texas to their territory. The message
advises Congress not to be terrified, sketches the eight
years' unsuccessful war which Mexico has waged against
Texas, and endeavours to show that it is the duty and in-
terest of the United States to end the war in some effec-
tual manner. It says—" The high obligations of public
• duty may enforce from the constituted authorities of the
United States a policy which the course persevered in by
Mexico will have mainly contributed to produce; and the
Executive, in such a contingency, will with confidence
. throw itself upon the patriotism of the people to sustain
the government in its course of action." Mexico has
—injured the trade of the States with hcr, and virtually pro-
hibited the trade of.the States in the Santa Fe. The in-
, stalments of the Mexican 'claims have been promptly
. paid.
With ail the other American States relations are per-
fectly amicable.

With regard to the Home Department, it appears that
the treasury receipts for the fiscal year, ending July 1,
are stated at eighteen million dollars. Expenditure, ex-
clusive of public debt, twenty-three million dollars.
There are outstanding treasury notes to the amount of
4,600',000 dollars. The loan of '4l, of over 5,500,000
dollars, falls due on January Ist, 1845; and unless the
' resources be increased a deficiency is apprehended, at the
close of 1845, of above four million dollars. The finan-
cial and business condition of the country has greatly
improved.
The message regards the Public Lands as the founda-
tion of the public credit; and by preserving the credit of
the general government untarnished, it thinks that of the
States will be best supported. It urges the security to
settlers of their pre-emption rights.
In revising the tariff, the message recommends a regard
for permanency and stability in legislation, and says that
these can only be secpied by moderation.
Mr. Tyler repeats is recommendation to issue treasury
notes to form part of the paper currency of the coun-
try. He thibks this plan decidedly preferable to the es-
tablishment of a bank. The operations of the treasury
now rest on the act of 1789 and the resolution of 1816,
and are said to be productive of good.
The war expenses have been reduced.
The navy is commended to attention, and Congress is
advised to reimburse the losses sustained by the officers
and crew of the steamer Missouri.
The post-office department is said to have been rigor-
ously conducted, and some reforms are needed, of which
the suggestion is left to the post-master.
Navigation on the lakes and rivers of the West is com-
mended to attention, so also is the disposal of the Smith-
sonian bequest.
The message concludes with a summary of the evils
which oppressed the government when Mr. Tyler was called
to the presidential office, and of the results which followed
his secession. The only desire be feels in connexion with
the future is, " to leave the country prosperous, and its
institutions unimpaired."

With the exception of the message the American papers
contain little of interest. The Acadia has reached Bos-
ton. Full prices continue to be obtained for cotton.
Bills on London were quoted at 1081 to 1081, but little or
nothing was doing in them.
