the 13th instant, respecting the trial of John Higham, for
felony ; although my name is not mentioned, it was well
known that I was the attorney who defended him, and
the paragraph, therefore, accuses me of misapplying a sum
of mom.), given me for the purpose of retaining Mr. Wil-
kins. I suggested that as the matter was now so old, and
the profession would be well aware that all special re-
tainers are paid before counsel leave their chambers, it
would hardly become so humble an individual as myself
to obtrude upon public notice. My friends thought dif-
ferently, and, in obedience to their wishes, I beg to state
the facts.
On the 3d instant my agent paid to Mr. Wilkins and
his clerk, £34 55., whose receipt for the same was pro-
duced to the recorder by my clerk. On the 6th, Mr.
Wilkins was here on another retainer, and wished Higham
to be tried on that day. This was prevented by circum-
stances over which the latter had no control, and Mr.
Wilkins refused to remain another day. 1 was conse-
quently obliged to instruct another counsel, and applied
forthwith to Mr. Wilkins for a return of his fees, which
he has positively refused to do until he has consulted the
Attorney-General. I trust, therefore, that in justice to
me, you will insert this letter.
Very obediently, yours,
JAMES OWEN.

Their Mr. SIDNEY SHERLOCK having been engaged in
the Wine and Spirit Trade for more than Fifteen Years in

General average.. 4 10 to 5 11

A queer kind of calculation this, Mr. Mercury,
as we shall endeavour to show you anon. In the
first instance you state, as you say, " upon high
authority," the freight from every port higher (by
Is. per quarter) than it really is; and in the next
you introduce a shuffle into your calculation, which
stamps it as fraudulent. For what reason, pray,
do you specify separately the rates from Italy and
Odes,a, the United States and Canada, whilst so
many of the ports of the North of Europe are com-
prised in a convenient " Sze." ? Simply to raise
average. The bulk of the freight paid on foreign
corn—three-fourths of it—is paid at something less
than the rates in the three first lines of the state-
ment; and yet, by this Jesuitical juggle of figures,
we are to be made to believe that the average freight
paid is between five and six shillings. Average in-
deed ! A speculator would have a nice bargain
who should undertake to pay the freight of this, or
any other year's importations, according to such an
average
But leaving this question of figures, with a re-
commendation to our contemporary to rub up his
arithmetic, we come to the use which the Mercury
makes of it. The lowest average freight is 4s. 10d.
Our contemporary then goes on to enume-

that Birkenhead is in the hundred of Wirrall—so famed
as it is in Nizon'S Prophecies. Not one in a thousand
of you know that it contains most celebrated towns,
which existed long before Liverpool was heard of--
to wit, Frankby,.lrby, Thurstasion, Prenton, Barnston,
Saughall, Gayton, Moreton, Caldy, Brbbington, and
a dozen more which were known amongst what my grand-
son calls the haut ton of Cheshire, when yet your two
generation ance,tora,steered their own fishing punts and
mended their own nets. Having therefore antiquity on
our side, the commissioners are about applying to parlia-
ment to have the name of our young city changed to PORT
JACKSON, because owl, body is transported with its
blibiant prospects. Will it not be quite euphonious?
Port Jackson Docks—Port Jackson Park—Port Jackson
Ferrv—Port Jackson Market—Port Jackson Bills of
Lading! !! Sir. 1-am proud of my country—as proud as
Mr. Smith can be ' • and although a few hundred men may
at first be ruined by buying land a leetle too dear; for
such a consummation.as that which I behold in the vista
of my imagination, why. Sir, looking to the benefit of our
posterity, it will be cheep, though three generations are
ruined to obtain it. Nothing risk, nothing have, has long
been an Americanism,. and depend upon it, that before
you are three years older Port Jackson dock bonds will be
more valuable than Pennsylvanian scrip, by at least iths
per cent ! If my old and valued friend Attwood would
only throw up his seat in parliament, and come and esta-
blish a bank here, so as to give us plenty of paper money,
I would guarantee him a fortune in the twist and twink-
ling of an eye. As to Peels currency bill, there ought to
have been some special exemptions, because nineteen-
twentieths of us on this side of the river don't know what
it means. There was a sovereign in real gold paid some-
time ago as a deposit for some land, which was bought at
Is. 9d. per yard and sold at four guineas, (at least I am
credibly assured so, although I did not see it;) and the
fortunate possessor, it is said, has taken special care of
it, and intends to present it to the Port Jackson Museum.

POETRY.

MY PASTOR'S VOICE.

(For the Liverpool Standard )
I love to hear my pastor's voice. the sound Is truly sweet,
This ,nessage from the Lord he brings,—" Prepare the Truth to
meet."

Away with vain and foolish thoughts, begone thou drowsy feel
Fill me, my God ! with faith and love, with hope and fervonl
zeal.

love to hear my pastor's voice, the sound is very dear,
I hail it as the voice of GA, and feel that Christ is near,
A dying Saviour is his theme, ‘• the risen Lord" his song,
And every new-born babe in Christ, the music shall prolong,

I lore to hear my pastor's voice, through him, as from above,
A Saviour speaketh words of peace, of never dying love :
0, Lord of Lite ! to thee I cling, thou art my only stay,
And ne'er I trust shall Satan draw my heart from thee away.

I love to hear my pastor's voice, proclaiming Israel's rest,
"Though scatter'd and benighted now, that nation shall be
bless'd."
This Truth divine, his spirit loves, my soul caught up the strain,
And longs to see those outcast tribes restor'd to God again.

I love to hear my pastor's voice the gospel trumpet sound,
For till those words of peace I heard. my heart was error bound •
I love to hear the Truth from him, glad tidings doth he bring,
Glad tidings of great joy from thee our Prophet, Priest, and
King.

THE COURT.

The Queen remains at Windsor, nearly as much
secluded as ever ; the sharp weather, however, not
altogether preventing out-door exercise. Divine ser-
vice was performed in tne private chapel, at the Castle,
on Ash Wednesday.
In consequence of the recent bereavement in the royal
family, her majesty and her royal consort and illustrious
family are not expected at Buckingham Palace for the sea-
son until after the Easter recess, the second week in
April.
CHRISTENING IN HIGII LIFE.—The christening of
the infant son of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland,
takes place at the commencement of the next month, when
Prince Albert will stand sponsor. A sumptuous enter-
tainment will be given on that occasion. Their graces will
proceed to Brighton on the 9th or 10th of February; and
the Marquis of Stafford and the Ladies Gower will then
go to Trentham Hall.—lnverness Courier.
The Leipsic Gazette, a journal generally cautious and
well-informed upon home affairs, states that the late Duke
Ernest of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha has left personal pro-
perty to the amount of twelve millions of florins, and has
not disposed by any will or testament of this large fortune.
According to the laws of inheritance in Saxony personal
property left by a father is equally divided between the
children, and there only being the now reigning Duke
Ernest and his Royal H ghness Prince Albert, the latter's
share will be about six hundred thousand pounds, if the
statement prove correct.

A PRESENT TO THE PRINCE OF WALES.—An elegant
little arm-chair has been manufactured of English oak,
grown in Norfolk, so beautifully veined as in some degree
to resemble zebra-wood, and highly polished by friction.
On the upper part of the back, above the needle-work,
are a lion's head, with coronets on each side, also a rose
and a thistle, and entwined oak branches. The front legs
of the chair rest on lions' paws, each grasping a ball.
The chair was manufactured for Mrs. Paul, widow of the
late Dr. Paul, whose needle-work adorned and finished
this u ique and elegant article. The cushion of needle-
work displays on a buff ground the royal arms richly em-
blazoned, enclo§kd in the garter and motto. The edge of
the cushion ismbellished with a beautiful wreath of
flowers, the upper edge finished with blue and silver cord,
and the lower edge with blue and silver gimp. On the
back is worked the Prince of Wales's plume arid motto,
surmounted with an ornamental shell and scroll, and be-
neath are roses and lilies.—Suffolk Herald.

WIRRAL FARMERS' CLUB.

The annual ploughing match and dinner of this justly
popular and influential society took place on Friday, at the
Rock Ferry, and notwithstanding the very unfavourable
state of the weather, which prevented the attendance of
many who had announced their intention of being present,
went off in a most spirited manner. This club, which
may be considered only a juvenile one, may be said to be
lusty and vigorous, and we have no doubt when it comes
to the age of maturity, to which it is fast approaching, will
prove a most valuable aid to the agriculturist.
The ploughing match took place in a field at Woodhead,
near Rock Ferry, in the occupation of Mr. Sparks, and
attracted a considerable party of gentry, but in conse-
quence of the frost which has existed the last few days, the
ploughing did not commence before twelve o'clock. The
ploughing was excellent, and received the approbation not
only of the judges, but other experienced parties.
The prizes were awarded:as follow :
CLASS FIRST.

First Prize, £s,—To the ploughmln who executed his
work in the best style—to Edward Williams, ploughman
to Robert Ellison, Esq. of Woodchurch.

The dinner was laid out in a spacious marquee behind
the Rock Ferry Hotel, which was neatly fitted up for the
occasion, adorned with a considerable number of loyal
banners, and brilliantly illuminated with gas, presented
by W. Jackson, Esq. of Birkenhead. The company,
which, though not so numerous as anticipated, from the
cause already stated, consisted of nearly one hundred per.
sons. H. Congreve, Esq. of Burton Hall, presided, and
