TO CORRESPONDI,2NTS.

A correspondent, who signs himself " A Ratepaydr of Toxteth-
park," but for whose letter we cannot find room, suggests that,
instead of en argine the present St. James's Market, it would
be preferable, and, at the same time, more ecomanical, to erect
another market further to the south of the park. lle says,
if the Corporation would purchase the field above St. Joh.,
the Baptist's Church, say about five acres, from the Earl of
Sefton, at a cost of about .ret 2,f700, and erect a market on the
portion adj:,ining Park-road, extending to Essex-street,
Church-street, and a new str' et on the oath side. occupying
altogether an area of about 800 or 900 yards. tue remainder of
the land, from its increased value for building purposes,
NTOUM realise the full cost of the whole. About .t'5900, he
thinks. would build a market sufficient for the wants of the
district; whereas, to would be required for the
proposed enlargement of St. James's Market. Such new
market, he states, would be near the intended new landing
slips at the south end of the town, and would accommodate
the increasing population at the Potteries, the intended new
yards at the south of the town, the Prince's Park, and the
inhabitants of the neighbourhood. fie adds that since the
site for St. James's Market was fined upon, the population of
Toxteth-pa.k has increased by about 33,-, 0 inhabitants, and
that another marke is required in the district where the in-
crease is principally located.
We are not much in the habit of complaining, after the fashion of
some of our contemporaries, of plagiarism from our columns
without acknowledgment, although we have frequently sufficient
occasion. But. when a whole column of otiginal description,
which had cost us both expense, time, and trooble, is adopted
without a word to intimate our claim to authorship, we cannot
submit to the liberty with our usual philosophy. Last week the
Macclesfield Courier copied verbatim our description of the
course, revels, &c , of the. Birkenhead and Manchester Railway,
and passed it off us his own. which was shabby, if intended.
The worst of this practice is, that your extensive pilferers have
seldom any thing in their columns with which we can make free
in return.

We have not been able to obtain the information sought for by
" A Constant Reader."

STABBING ON THE HIGH SEAS.

The case of Samuel Brown, charged with stabbing and
wounding Launcelot Reed, on the high seas, in Novem-
ber last, was postponed until the next assizes. The trial
was deferred on the affidavit of Mr. Deane, surgeon,
which was to the effect that, in consequence of the wounds
under which the prosecutor was suffering, he would be
unable to attend and give evidence, without great risk and
danger, during the present assizes.

T lIE CHRISTMAS CHIMES!

Oh ! merry were the olden days when Christmas was at
hand,
When peace and plenty smiled around and blest our happy
lend ;
Oh ! glorious were indeed the scenes enacted at those
times,
And blithely welcom'd every heart the merry Christmas
Chimes!

The holly and the ivy green around the halls were hung,
And songs of love and chivalry were oft by minstrels sung ;
The titled great, the lowly poor, then, festive, met be-

times,
And every bosom heard with joy the merry Christmas
Chimes !

Then love and laughter, joy and. bliss, made up the festive
scene,
The youthful danc'd with lightsome hearts beneath the
evergreen!
Whilst grouped around the aged sat, talked of the olden
times,
And counted, too, how oft they'd heard the merry Christ-
mas Chimes!

The poor were fed, the naked cloth'd, and, though we
must confess
How little then of style and taste were shown in homely
dress ;
But di ff'rent 'tis since one rose, the King of modern times,
Por Hyam's fame extends where ring the merry Christ-
mas Chimes!

His Clothing, matchless in extent, in beauty, and in shade,
Profusely now for Christmas time are gorgeously dis-
played ;
Then, if you would revive again the scenes of olden times,
First buy a Suit of Hyam's Clothes ere peal the Christ-
mas Chimes I

For favours shown throughout the year B. Hyam would
express
His gratitude and heartfelt thanks for all his great success.
He would see Commerce far extend, restore the good old
times,
Till all should welcome once again the merry Christmas
Chimes .'

BEGS respectfutly to invite universal attention to his
unrivalled MELAINABAPHE, or LIQUID
HAIR-DYE, which, in a few moments, changes Gray
Hair to a beautiful Black. Unwilling to lower the value
of this unequalled preparation by having recourse to the
puffing system, G. E. begs but a triakof this incomparable
Dye, which, he is confident, w' -e found to equal, if not
excel, any of its competi . Amongst the delicious
novelties of his Lab ory, he can recommend The
Restorative Balsam- or weak Hair, which, if once used,
must retain the first position at the Toilet in preference
to the numerous grosser compounds of the present day.
He is also happy in being enabled to offer his choice and
fragrant perfumes, The Neu Essence of Verbena, and
The Prince Alfred's Nursery Boquet.

GREAT PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION.

Last evening, a public meeting of the Protestants of
Liverpool was held in the Commercial-hall, Gloucester-
street, to receive the Rev. T. D. Gregg, from Dublin,
and several deputations of loyal Orangemen from other
towns. The large room, capable of accommodating up..
wards of 2500 persons, was cramed almost to suffocation ;
and amongst those on the Platform we observed the Rev.
1 W. Irvine, Rev. S. Cragg, Rev. S. Fenton, R. Harbord,
Esq., J. Parker, Esq., T. Inman, Esq., G. Clay, Esq.,
Dr. Taylor, Slaiter, deputation ; Dr. Gouthwaite,
Jackson, Esq., Ball, A. Byford, J. Payne, Watliam,
E. D. Triton, H. Bentley, S. Wilson, J. Harrison, W.
Wagstaff, Capt. Easton, and J. Wilkinson.
The room was very tastefully decorated with orange
and purple, and a sort of canopy formed over the platform.
Immediately in front of the chairman the Bible and crown
was placed, and behind it, in varigated gaslights, the
letters V. R. On the rev. gentleman appearing in the
room be was received with loud and long-continued ap-
plause and the Kentish fire.
Shortly after half-past six o'clock, Mr. Councillor 'lar-
board took the chair, and on doing so requested the meet-
ing to be as orderly as they conveniently could, considering
the crowded state of the room.
The Rev. W. IRVINE was then called upon, and he
offered up a suitable prayer.
Mr. Councillor PARKER then rose to propose the first
resolution, and was received with very loud demonstrations
of applause. lie had been requested to move the resolu-
tion he held in his hands, and he had great pleasure in
doing so. It began as every resolution ought to be which
was connected with Protestantism, namely, that the prin-
ciples of the Established Church, if fully carried out,
would remove the evils the community now labours under.
This should be the basis of all their actions. It was a
glorious sight for both him and them to see such a meeting
of sound and loyal Protestants, because they had lately
seen the town, from ward to ward, deluged with the
minions of the Anti-Corn-Law League; but a few such
assemblages as these would show such enemies of the
church that their efforts would be unavailing. It was
true their cry was cheap bread, but they cared little about
the poor—they sympathised little with those who were in
distress; their language was " down with the church."
(Hear, hear.) But it would soon be seen that the opera-
tions of the whole community were truly Protestant. He
congratulated them on having now established in the
schools of the town a sound Scriptural education; and he
trusted, having now obtained that, they would not !dn.-

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGi, JAN. 27.

During the past week the value of Wheat and Flour has re-
mained without alteration; that of Oats, Oatmeal and Beans
has rather tended upwards, but the business done in each has
been of a limited character.

. .
There is a fair arrival of Wheat and Flour from Ireland,
whilst the supply of Meal falls off.
From Canada there are 1632 barrels of Flour, and from other
quarters the imports are small.
The proceedings at this day's market afford little subject for
remark. But little is doing in Wheat or Flour, and the prices
of both remain as last quoted.
Fine Oats, and the best qualities of Oatmeal, are held at an
advance of Id per bushel, and 3d per load : but it is complied
with to a very trifling extent.
Beans are is per quarter higher, with a fair inquiry. Malt is
held firmly for late prices, and for fine qualities there is a steady
demand.

LONDON WINE SHADES,

ESI DENT Gentlemen and Visitors to Liverpool are
IL respectfully informed, that the above new and ele-
gant Establishment IS NOW OPEN for their recep-
tion.

UFDER THE MANAGEMENT OF
MR. SIMON WOODS,
For many Years Superintendent of the celebrated

WOODING'S SHADES, LONDON-BRIDGE.
The design and appointments of this Establishmem
being totally novel in Liverpool, it may be necessary to
explain that it is arranged on the plan of the most cele-
brated London Shades ; is intended for the accommoda-
tion of a select society only, and to supply its Patrons
with first-rate Wines and their epicurean accompaniments
at extremely moderate charges. In the high and rare
character of its Stock, and in the luxury of its appoint-
ment, this Establishment addresses itself exclusively to
refined taste, and, it is hoped, will be favoured with a
liberal high class patronage.
Though scarcely in accordance with the spirit of this
advertisement, it may be well to quote. partially, the
charges of the Establishment, in order to justify the em-
phatic assertion as to their extreme moderation.
