PICTURE AND GLASS FRAME MANUFACTORY,
PAPIER MACHE WAREROOMS,
52, BOLD-STREET.

ROBERT J. KEYS respectfully informs the Public
that he has purchased from Mr. C. F. BIELEFELD
the above Business, with the SOLE RIGHT of SALE
of his Improved PAPIER AIACHE for Liverpool and
the whole of Lancashire, from the Ist instant ; and
as he purposes Manufacturing on the Premises, is now ex-
tending the STOCK of ENRICHMENTS, &c., so as to
enable him to execute all orders he may be favoured with
IN THE MOST PROMPT AND SUPERIOR MANNER.

The very beautiful, novel, and elaborate designs pro-
duced in Papier Mache surpasses any that have ever been
before manufactured ; its extraordinary toughness, dura-
bility, and lightness render it applicable to works of the
highe&t relief, equalling many of the finest productions of
the celebrated carvers in wood of the seventeenth century.
Many Specimens are to be seen, fac-similes of fine old
OAK FRAMES, which, being similar in colour to the
original, cannot be detected by the most experienced eye.
ROBERT J. KEYS invites the attention of all who are
desirous of encouraging the Arts in works of British
manufacture, and begs their attention to the extensive
STOCK of PICTURE, GLASS, and MINIATURE
FRAMES, WINDOW CORNICES, SCREENS, &c.,
now on view at his Warerooms.
The PATENT QUAQUAVERSAL TOILET GLASS
STAND, now so much approved of, may be had in great
variety, either in solid Mahogany or richly ornamented
with Papier Mach&
A miniature illustrated tariff of the PICTURE FRAMES
may be procured on application at the Premises, or will
be forwarded FREE, on the receipt of six Post-office
Stamps.
GENTLEMEN BUILDING, ARCHITECTS,
DECORATORS, &c. &c.,

are respectfully informed that the PAPIER MACUE
WAREROOMS, 52, BOLD-STREET, are now fully
Stocked with every Pattern that has beeit produced at the
Works in London. The arrangements on and after the
Ist of May will enable the Proprietor to supply the vari-
ous articles manufactured on the same terms as if ordered
from London, with the advantage of being able to
execute all orders with greater facility.
The superiority of the Papier Mache for architectural
purposes, is now so well known and appreciated, that it
would be superfluous here to dwell on its merits. The
fact that many of the finest buildings in London, and
throughout the country, have been decorated with it,
proves that its advantages are acknowledged.
Many beautiful Specimens of ENAMELLED SLATE
PAN ELLINGS, for Steam-boat Cabins, can be seen ;
and the Papier Mache for the purposes of ship decoration
will be found most appropriate.
Gentlemen requiring Ceilings Ornamented can have
Designs submitted to them by an Architect connected
with the establishment, and long accustomed to the
adaptation of the manufacture.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 13.

Th• demand for new Butter has continued very brisk since
our last, and prices are fully supported. The finest descriptions
of Cairick, Carlow, &c. bringing 80s to 82s. Brands not so
well known or appreciated, however, are a slow sale at 72s to
78s. Old Butter is not asked for. Prime Beef and Pork with-
out aleration in price; holders generally are inclined to lighten
their stocks. Bacon is tolerably easy to sell at 39s to 41s for
Belfast middles.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 8.
We have had refreshing showers throughout this district
during the last few days, but no continuous rains, which alone,
after such protracted drought, can be permanently effective.
In Wheat little has been doing. Fresh Flour has met a steady
demand for consumption, at late rates; other articles have been
held at the quotations of our last, but the change in the weather
has checked the demand which was springing up for Oatmeal,
and the various descriptions of spring Corn.
The principle feature in the list of arrivals, are the foreign
imports of Wheat, the holders of which are in many cases
paying the present rate of duty.
Liverpool and Wakefield, without material change, yesterday.
At our market this day, there is a moderate sale for Wheat,
at about late prices. Fresh Flour goes off steally at former
rates, but warel oused lots are difficulty of sale, except on lower
terms. All other articles in moderate request, at fully late
prices, with the exception of Oatmeal, which is offered at a re-
duction of 3d to 6d per load, without meeting more than a very
limited sale.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 4.

The demand for Cotton to-day has been very good for
Tuesday. and fully 2500 bales have been sold at steady
prices, with a better feeling.

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT.

Notwith2tanding an import of 103,440 bales this week, the
demand for American and Surat descriptions of Cotton has
been general and somewhat animated, find prices of the ordi-
nary and middling qualities are kd per lb. dearer. Brazils and
Egyptians are still neglected; Sea Islands move off very slowly
at previous rates. 4600 American and 400 Surat have been
taken on speculation; 600 American for export.

RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

(From the Railway Magazine of Saturday.)

The following calculation of the last weekly returns of 46
railways, 1,670 miles in length, given in our present number,
will, we believe, be of interest:—Number of passengers on 2g
railways, 463,076. The receipts for passengers on 46 railways,
.W95,37k); ditto for goods on 44 railways, .e:25,556; total,
.t 120,926. This is an average of £724 per mile per week. The
receipts for the corresponding period of last year on 1,573
miles were .egg,234, or at the rate of £63 per mile per week.

POETRY.

LINES ON MUSIC.

(Written for the Liverpool Standard.)

Music. thou soother of the troubled mind !
Whose sway is felt in every feeling breast;
E'en now thy spirit tre,:bles on the wind,
That glides in stillness from the placid A est,
And, gently playing, fans itself to rest;
Thy peac tul influence calms the aching heart,
That deeply orrows, though it once was blest,
Those which have known how sad it is to part,
The anguish that succeeds to love's deep-wounding dart.

Thy notes come stealing on the opening air,
From some melodious cornet's silver t.me,
Whose gentle breathing wafts the listener there,
To wish the thrilling sound: might be his own.
Fainter and f :inter has the murmuring grown ;
The lingering strain eems loth to die away;
And all were silent, motionless. and lone,
Save that the echo still is heard to play
Around the circ ing cliffs, that answer back the lay.

Haste we to where a lighter music floats,
In heavenly w rblings on the twilight hour,
To where the night ',gale's melliflue t notes
Issue so sweet y from the adjacent hewer,
Where blooms in beauty many a.. unseen flower;
The bum of bees resorting to the spot
Conveys a music of a drowsy power.
Oh, Solitude! how hap;•y is thy lot !
For thou caust know the bliss which busy man Can not,

In brighter regions, in the destined home
Of Christian sufferers, who wander here,
And in oppression's chains are doomed o roam,
Upheld by Him who dries the mow net's tear;
Thee music bath its source, and doubly dear
Is it to those bright seraphs who have striven
To sing th sweetest t that Out isci nt ear.
By whom this blessing was to mortals given,
To purity their souls, and lilt them up to heaven!

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE ENSUING ASSIZES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sta,--I understand that Sir Frederick Pollock, Lord
Chief Baron of her Majt-sty's Court of Exchequer, and
Sir Cresswell Cresswell, are the judges who will attend
the next Liverpriol Assizes. Can yun inform me which
of these learned judges will preside at. Nisi Prius?
Yours, obediently,
A SOLICITOR.

7th June, 1844.

[This being the first circuit of Sir F. Pollock, Chief Ba-
ron of her Majesty's Court of Exchequer, he will,
probably, though the chief justice, try at Nisi Prius;
and we come to this conclusion from the recollection
that the late Lord Chief Baron Abinger, on going hid
first circuit as judge, tried here at Nisi Prius.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY.

Mr. Entw•isle was introduced by Mr. W. Patten and
Mr. J. Blackburne, and taok the oaths and his seat for
South Lancashire.
On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, the Liverpool
Docks Bill was read a third time and passed.
The report on the Birkenhead Dock Bill was further
considered and agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought for-
ward the following resolutions on the sugar duties—
" 1. That towards raising the supply granted to her
Majesty, the several duties now payable on sugar be fur-
ther continued for a time to be limited, save and except
that from and after the 10th day of November next, there
shall be charged on Brown, Muscovado, or Clayed sugar,
certified to be the growth of China, Java, or Manilla, or
of any other foreign country the sugar of which her Ma-
jesty in Council shall have declared to be admissible, as
not being the produce of slave labour,
" The hundred weight, £1 14s.
" Together with an additional duty of £5 per centum
on the aforementioned rate.

" 2. That, from and after the 10th day of November
next, her Majesty be authorised, by Order in Council, to
give effect to the provisions of any treaty now in force,
which binds her Majesty to admit sugar, the produce of a
foreign country, at the same duties as are imposed on
sugar the produce of the most favoured nation."
Lord J. RUSSELL advocated the necessity of approach-
ing as nearly as possible the principles of free trade, and
concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the differ-
ential duty of 345. should admit all foreign sugars, whether
free-grown or otherwise.
Mr. GLADSTONE argued at great length in support of
the resolutions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and
combatted those advanced by Lord John Russell, whose
amendment, he urged, would operate as a direct incentive
to slave labour, by throwing open the markets of Great
Britain to slave-grown produce. He thought they might
claim credit for the sincerity of their anti-slavery declara-
tions when they brought in a measure like this, which
combined the greatest amount of good with the least pos-
sible amount of injury. . .

Mr. LABOUCHERR contended that the measure was
unsound and mischievous in principle, and would not in
its operation carry out the expectations of its framers.
Mr. T. BARING was of opiniun that importation under
fraudulent certificates could not be successfully carried
into effect. With respect to the measure itself, he agreed
in its principle, though he did not think it well timed in
reference to existing interests.
After some observations from Dr. Bowring, Sir C.
Hanmer, and Mr. Ewart, the committee divided, and the
resolutions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were car-
ried by a majority of 197 to 128.
The house adjourned soon after.

TIM " RUNNING REIN" CASE.—It was arranged in
the Court of Exchequer on Thursday, that the issue in
the action brought by Col. Peel against Mr. Wood, the
owner of Running Rein, to try the title of the latter to
the stakes won by his horse in the Derby race at the late
Epsom Meeting, should he tried at one of the Miiddlese%
sittings after term, and that the questions should be--'
whether " Running Rein" was foaled in 1811, whose sire
signified
was " Sadler," and whose dam was " Mab." Mr. Ogle
then applied, on behalf of Messrs. Weatherby, who held
the stakes, which originally amounted to 36,000, but
which, since the commencement of the action, have been
considerably augmented by various large sums which the/
have received, to be no parties to the action, and to be
1
allowed their costs.—The application was acceded to b
the Court.

BANK FAILIIRE.—The failure of Messrs. Thomas
Johnson and Co., bankers at Romford, was advised in
London on Thursday. The concern is, it appears by no
means a large one; but nevertheless much inconvenience
is expected to arise on the spot, the notes having some-
what extensively found their way into circulation.

rftHE BRITISH HONG-KONG TEA COMPANY,
faithful to their professed principle of supplying the
public with none but genuine Teas, of superior character,
have to con ratulate themselves on the liberal patronage
they have hitherto received. It would be easy to pretend,
as some advertisers do, to sell Teas at lower prices than
charged by the Company ; but the very fact that the duty
alone amounts to 2s. 2d. per lb., must convince all
thinking persons that much which is offered to the public
under the name of Tea, can be no other than a spurious
article ; and it would be easy to prove that such trash is
as injurious to health as the genuine leaf is wholesome and
exhilarating. The Company would particularly recom-
mend their

BLACK
STRONG and RICH FLAVOURED WIRY-LEAF CONGOU.
at ss. per lb., being all that for ordinary occasions
can be desired.
Their IMPERIAL PEKIN MIXTURE, at 6s. per lb.
is a combination of the rarest and most exquisite Black
Teas exported from China, and is peculiarly adapted to
the taste of Connoisseurs.
The following can be confidently recommended :
s. d.
Genuine Breakfast Congou 4 0
Strong full-flavoured ditto 4 6
GREEN.
Bright-leaf, Hyson kind, fresh and strong 5 0
Fine Hyson, with choice flavour 6 0
Pearl-leaf Gunpowder 7 6
MIXED.
Kong-Kong Mixture 5 4
By those who prefer Mixed Teas the Company feet
pronounced unequalled, for
confident that this will be
strength and flavour, by any combination of Black and
Green Teas that have yet been offered to the Public at I
the Price.

The Company's Teas are sold in Catty Packages,in the
pure state in which they are imported, in Quarters,
Halves, and One Pounds. Each Package is sealed with the
Company's Seal, and bears the Signature of .1. CASSELL,
their London Manager, without which none are genuine.
Teas at U. per lb. and above may be had in Two Ounce
Packets.
COFFEES.—In consequence of the numerous applica-
tions which the Company have received from their Agents,
requesting to be supplied with Coffee of a superior quality,
they have made arrangements to supply the following de-
scriptions, which will be 'found of singularly exquisite
flavour, and will be packed in Lead, in Quarter, Half
Pound; and Pound Packets, and scaled, to prevent the
possibility of the Aroma escaping.

OPERATIVE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.

An application from the Secretary of the Operative
Protestant Association, for the use of the North Corpo-
ration School, in which to hold the monthly meetings of
that body, was read and declined.
ST. LUKE'S BELLS.

The MAYOR read a letter from the Rev. Mr. Law-
rence, one of the ministers of St. Luke's Church, in
which he requested that that building should be placed
in a more effective condition. The beautiful peal of bells,
he said, suspended in the tower, were being spoiled from
neglect and want of use, whereas a small sum annually
would enable them to be rung for half an hour on Sundays.
Mr. G. A. LAWRENCE objected on financial grounds.

Mr. TURNER said that when they were rung they were
a great nuisance to the inhabitants of Rodney-street.
Mr. Busnum, thought the better way would be to take
the bells down, and let them be sold for old metal, if, on
financial grounds, they could not be rung, so that, at all
events, the town might derive some notes from them—(a
laugh.) _ . . _ _ _

The application was referred to the Church Expenditure
Committee.

THE MAGISTRATES.

The MAYOR acknowledged the receipt of a long memo-
rial from the Protestant Operative Association and Refor-
mation Society of Dublin, compkining of the conduct of
the Borough Magistrates, with reference to Orangemen in
the Police Force. It was entered as read. It has already
appeared in our columns.
ALLEGED VACANCY IN ST. ANNE'S WARD.

The MAYOR read a memorial from certain of the
registered burgesses of St. Anne's Ward. The memori-
alists stated their belief that Mr. Robert Jones, one of
the councillors for that ward, was not duly qualified, ac-
cording to the provisions of the act to hold the said office.
The act required that a councillor should be an inhabitant
householder within the borough, or seven miles thereof,
and that he should be rated to the poor at the annual
value of £3O. The memorial then went on to say that
Mr. Jones resided not within the borough, or seven miles
thereof ; that he had lately ouitted his house at West
Derby, and gone t 3 reside at Hale; and that his brewery,
at Rose-hill, and in respect of which he had been rated to
the poor, was now occupied by other individuals. The
parties, therefore, contended that he had become disquali-
fied, and that the ward ought to he declared vacant forth-
with.

The MAYOR said that he had received that morning a
note from Mr. Jones, (then in his place in the Council,)
in which he stated that he had not been made a bankrupt,
or taken the benefit of the insolvent act, or compounded
by deed or otherwise with his creditors, and that he was
ready to satisfy him, (the Mayor) or the Town-Clerk
upon the subject.
Eventually it was agreed that Mr. Jones should com-
municate with the Town-clerk upon the subject.

prices.

IN SUPERFINE BROAD CLOTHS our T. M. has
been particularly careful in selecting only such goods as
we can with the utmost confidence recommend. On very
low priced goods there is certainly a small advance, but
middle and superilna qualities are quite as cheap, if not
cheaper, than at any former time.
The FANCY TROUSE RING department contains
every novelty in Doeskins, Tweeds, and Cashmeres ; also
a great variety of Merinos, Gambroons, &c.
In FANCY WAISTCOATINGS we have almost every
new design in French and British manufacture.
The extent of our recent purchases, combined with the
immense variety of Fancy Goods, render our present Stock
unusually inviting; a larger, cheaper, or superior Stock
of WOOLLEN GOODS will not be found, not only in
Liverpool, but in the Metropolis.
The great increase of our WHOLESALE TRADE
has encouraged us to a corresponding effort to render our
House worthy of the support we continue to receive ; and
we now feel persuaded, should you favour us with a visit,
or intrust us with your orders, it would be the means of
extending that confidence which has hitherty been so
largely bestowed upon us.

We are, your obedient Servants,

That he has ever yet imported, and comprising numerous
exquisitely-finished Specimens by Italian Artists of the

Feeling assured that Models from the celebrated Works
of CANOVA, THORWALDSDEN, BARTOLINI, BARUZZI,
TENERANI, &c., &c., cannot fail to prove interesting to
the Connoisseur, F. L. H. very respectfully solicits a
visit, and trusts to have the honor of submitting them to
all his Friends and Patrons.
He also takes the liberty of stating that he has just
received an assortment of larg
MUSICAL BOXES,
Rich and powerful in tone, d playing the compositions
of AUBER, ROSSINI, W HER, HEROLD, STRAUSS,
JULLIEN, &c., &c., with t most favourite Airs of the
day, at very moderate ric s.
F. L. H. avails hims of the present opportunity to
tender a respectful invitation to the numerous Visitors in
town, and, flattering himself that an examination of the
assemblage of elegant Articles of utility and luxury would
be deemed amply compensatory for the trouble, would
have much gratification in submitting the whole of his
Establishment (acknowledged to be unequalled in Europe)
to their inspection.

He begs further to intimate, that Visitors will be re-
ceived with equal politeness and attention, whether it may
be their pleasure to make purchases or otherwise.

NOTICES.

Abbotsford Edition of Waverly. Robert Cadell, Edin-
burgh; Houlston and Stoneman, London.
Part 56 of this splendid edition is now before us, con-
taining a portion of the fine novel of Kenilworth ; and we
are bound to acknowledge that the same spirit, on the
part of the publishers, with which it was commenced, is
stild apparent. The illustrations in this part are equal to
my which have appeared in former parts, and the typo-
graphy, &c., faultless.

Simmonds's Colonial Magazine. Foreign and Colonia

Office, iB, Cornhill.

The present is a valuable number of this well-conducted
magazine. The first article—the conclusion of the Prize
Essay, by Thomas Henney, Esq., on the Defects of the
Agricultural System hitherto pursued in Jamaica, will be
read with interest by all parties connected with the pros-
perity of our tropical possessions. The narrative of the
Niger Expedition is a racy sketch of the progress of one
of the most astounding pieces of humbug in which even
British philanthropists ever embarked. The remaining
articles possess above an average amount of merit; and,
in particular, the " Colonial Intelligence" is excellently
compiled, and must be highly interesting to those con-
cerned us our foreign dependencies.

The Asiatic Journal. London : W. H. Allen and Co.,

Leadenhall-street.

The present numbor is a little less literary and more
instructive than some of its predecessors have recently
been. its " Biography of Literary Characters" contains
a sketch of the life and character of Sir Henry Hardinge,
the new Governor-General of India, which, although
written with an apparent spirit of fairness, yet scarcely
does full justice to that gallant officer. The Chronicle of
Indian Affairs is as usual well arranged, and must be most
valuable to all who are interested in Indian affairs.

Torn Burke of Ours. Curry and Co., Dublin.
The present number brings our adventurer a portion of
his way on his route homewards, and is not so eventful
as its predecessors. The interest, however, connected
with the fate of the young officer is still kept up; and we
are as much in the dark as ever as to what is likely to be
the unwinding of his tangled fortunes. We hope we shall
mot, after all, be left with anything unexplained. In
works of fiction, even although containing, as this does,
much of historical facts and description, affairs of the
heart, such as those in which our friend 'fom is engaged,
must be arranged with a proper degree of adherence to
poetical justice and the gratification of the curiosity of the
reading public.

Martin Chuzzlewil. No. 18. London : Chapman and

Flail.

Our author is in this number making himself up for the
close of his story. Detection hangs over the head of
Mr. Joseph Chuzzlewit, and Mr. Picksniff is revealed to
Ms intended dupe, old Martin Chuzzlewit, and is about
to be revealed to the world. One scene in this number,
between Mrs. Gamp and Mrs. Prig, is inimitable. Where
does Mr. Dickens pick up such characters as these two
hospital nurses ?
