ORMSKIRK CORN MARKET.

TT having been suggested to the Lessees of the Ormskirk
Market, that it is highly expedient and desirable to
re-establish the once extensive Corn Market, held in the
Town of Ormskirk, and the Earl of Derby, the Lord of
the Manor and Owner of the Markets of Ormskirk. hav-
ing concurred in that view, NOTICE IS HEREBY
GIVEN, that a MEETING of all parties friendly to, and
interested in the prPject, will be held at the TOWN-HALL,
in Ormskirk, on MONDAY, the 29th day of January in-
stant, at Twelve o'clock at noon precisely, to take into
consideration and determine upon certain resolutions to
be submitted to the Meeting, having for their object to
carry into effect the re-establishment of the ORMSKIRK
CORN MARKET, and to arrange certain details neces-
sarily connected therewith.
The attendance at the said Meeting of Land Owners,
and Dealers in Corn, Grain, and Seeds, whether as Buy-
ers or Sellers, is earnestly requested, that their accom-
modation may, so far as practicable, be consulted in the
arrangements to be made.

CHANDELIERS, LAMPS,

MI L. HAUSBURG takes the liberty of announcing
• the completion of his extensive STOCK of
CHANDELIERS, LAMPS, CANDELABRA, &c.
for the present season, in every variety and style, inclu-
ding the latest and most elegant designs, at exceedingly
moderate prices, and respectfully solicits the honour of a
visit from his Patrons and Friends that he may have the
pleasure of submitting them to their inspection.
F. L. H. begs leave also to direct attention to the cele-
brated

BLIDE LIGHT,
at present an object of so much attraction ; and, having
illuminated his spacious Show-room (formerly the Post-
office) with the most powerful burner in Liverpool, for
interiors, the practicability and advantage of the applica-
tion to large rooms and Public Buildings generally, is
fully demonstrated. F. L. 11. is the only person in Li-
verpool thoroughly acquainted with the nature of the fit-
tings, and is prepared to supply and fix the Light wherever
it is required.
F. L. H. has further to introduce to the notice of his
Friends

THE UNIVERSAL LAMP,
which, after a trial of Eighteen Months, he can confi-
dently recommend as a most superior article; the simpli-
city of the arrangement (the trimming being divested of
all difficulty) and the purity and brilliance of the flame
Jendering the Lamp in every respect particularly desirable.
He has also just received a new importation of
BOHEMIAN GLASS,
in LIQUEUR SETS, FLOWER VASES, TOILETTE BOTTLES,
CHIMNEY ORNAMENTS, &c., of the newest design and
most beautiful tints, an examination of which will amply
repay the trouble of a visit.

The London Polytechnic Magazine.

We have received the first number of this work, which
promises to become highly useful, if conducted with its
pristine spirit and ability, in the promotion of Science,
Literature and the Fine Arts. It is stated, in the intro-
duction, to be established " for the purpose of communi-
cating, in as popular form as may be consistent with
scientific accuracy, those inventions, improvements, and
discoveries which are constantly being made in every de-
partment of science." It will also embrace " mineralogy
and geology—botany and zoology,—the comprehensive
living world," and •' will also devote itself to the higher
branches of literature." The present number contains a
number of highly-talented articles, including one by our
townsman,,Dr. Sutherland, on "The Infiltration Theory
of Glacier Motion," and a review of the paper, by Dr.
Duncan, also of this town, " On the High Rate of Mor-
tality in Liverpool." The article on " The Ventilation of
Mines to prevent Accidents, by Dr. A. Jamieson, is also
well worthy of perusal by thos: interested in subterranean
operations. An anonymous paper on " The causes of the
Daguerreotype Image," gives the result of some experi-
ments in the extraordinary art. There is also an account,
at the close, of all the Metropolitan literary and scientific
societies ; their objects, and meetings for the present
session. A few short extracts from the work will be found
in another column.

Just published,
MISS LAMONT'S IMPRESSIONS of FRANCE
and SWITZERLAND. E. MOXON, London, 1844.
The merit of this book is in the freshness of its facts
and the naturalness of its manner. We do not call to mind
any publication that gives so good an idea of French Do-
mestic Life. There is much grace as well as fluency in
thy style.—Spectator. The Author has produced not
merely a readable but an instructive and interesting vo-
lume. We know of none that contains so much real in-
formation on the characters and manners of the two coun-
tries. The letters are invested with the ease and grace
which they might have for a parent's eye.—Globe. There
is much cleverness in these letters. The Author displays
an extent and variety of reading, especially in historical
matters, not often to be met with in ladies.—Observer.
The writer has no new scenes to speak of, but she has new,
and happy springs of thought. Her tour was through
France and Belgium, to Frankfort. Baden, Lausanne, and
has attractions which might never be met with in the de-
scription of professional tourists.—Morning Post. Miss
Lamont's criticisms on the books she has read betoken a
clear head and a wholesome taste. The sketches are
taken en pension, and the speculator on female education
will thence glean some details which may be useful and
new.—Athenevum.

Miss LAMONT continues to give PRIVATE LES-
SONS in the FRENCH, ITALIAN, and GERMAN
LANGUAGES, and to receive CLASSES for the
STUDY of those LANGUAGES, and for HISTORY
and ENGLISH COMPOSITION.

IMPORTANT TO LADIES.

IT EARSLEY'S ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S
FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated
for their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to
the notice of every lady, having obtained the sanction and
approbation of most gentlemen of the Medical Profession,
as a safe and valuable Medicine in effectually removing
obstructions, and relieving all other inconveniences to
which the female frame is liable, especially those which,
at an early period of life, frequently arise from want of
exercise and general debility of the system : they create an
appetite, correct indigestion, remove giddiness and nen,.
ous headache, and are eminently useful in windy disorders,
pains in the stomach, shortness of breath, and palpitation
of the heart : being perfectly innocent, may be used with
safety in all seasons and climates.
*** It is necessary, owing to the numerous imitations,
to inform the Public that KEA RSLEY'S is the only
ORIGINAL and GENUINE MEDICINE of this de-
scription ever made, and has been prepared by them for
more than FIFTY YEARS 11 Purchasers are particulrrly
requested to remark, that as a7testimony of authenticity,
each Bill of Directions contains an affidavit, and bears the
signature of " C. KEA RSLEY ," in writing, also en
graved on the Government stamp, and each is wrapped in
white paper.

COTTON MARRET, JANUARY 15

On Saturday forenoon, the Hibernia, Boston Packet, was
telegraphed off Ormshead, and the intelligence by her was
looked for with considerable intersst. It was very evident the
Brokers would not dispose until the upshot was known, and no
sconer did they receive her papers, than a very brisk demand
sprung up for Speculators account, and 5000 to 6000 bales were
sold at full and advancing prices. This morning, the market
opened with a very active enquiry, Prices fully id per lb
teas readily paid, and in some instances id per lb. was asked at
this advance. About 20,000 bales have been sold, 14,050 of them
to speculators ; the remainder to the trade, and at this advance
holders seem unwilling to bring out their stocks. Consumers
have been taken by sarprise, and it yet remains to be seen in
what light they may view it. An advance of id per lb. has
been established on the prices ruling last Friday week.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

The pleasing result which has attended the change
made in the mode of publishing the
LIVERPOOL STANDARD

six months ago, ;ridis -every week more satisfacto-
rily developing itself, induces its proprietors, while return-
ing their sincere thanks to that portion of the public, to
whose kind appreciation of their labours it is due, to lay
before them a brief statment of their present position, as
compared with the past. At the close of the half-year,
previous to the enlargement of the STANDARD, its circu-
lation was about 1,100 copies each publication. At the
end of the first quarter after that period its circulation
had risen steadily to an average of 1,500 copies; and at
the end of the last quarter, as will be shewn so soon as
the usual Parliamentary returns are published, the circu-
lation of the STANDARD had reached a weekly average of
upwards of 2,000 copies. The proprietors beg to direct
the attention of advertisers to this gratifying circumstance.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

1302 AND HIS PIRATES.—In the Vice-Chancellor's
Court, on Wednesday and Thursday, Mr. Sergeant Tal-
fourd, on behalf of Mr. Dickins, obtained injunctions
against several publishers for adapting and otherwise pla-
gerising the Christmas Carol, to the injury of Mr.Dickins's
pecuniary interest in that work.
COSTS IN SESSIONS CASES WHERE THE BILLS ARE
IGNORED.—At the Lancaster quarter sessions on Wed-
nesday last, the chairman, E. G. Hornby, Esq., decided
that in all cases in that court, where the grand jury cut
the bill, the only costs that would be allowed by the
court, were those " out of pocket." The same practice
has long prevailed at the Preston sessions, under the
chairmanship of T. B. Addison, Esq., but we are not
aware that it has ever been pursued either at Kirkdale or
Salford sessions.

Late accounts from Hobart-Town and Launceston, the
date from these colonies being the 9th of September,
have been received. Sir Eardley Wilmot arrived on the
20th of August, and had taken the reins of government,
but the conduct of Lady Franklin and other persons con-
nected with her suite on his arrival are not spoken
of in terms of much commendation. However, his
welcome by the colonists was of the most enthusiastic
character, and he had taken a tour through the interior.
with the view of making himself acquainted with the
localities, as also to present himself to those whom he is
about to govern. Sir Eardley Wilmot was about to bring
into force new regulations for the convict service, and the
exertions of the new Bishop and his assistants in their
endeavours to improve the conduct of the unfortu-
nate persons connected with it promise much for a
better moral and social condition among them. A
notorious bush-ranger of the name of Caeh had been cap-
tured and tried for murder ; and though by professional ad.
vice, technical objections had been taken in arrest of the
penalty due to his crime, the judges held out no hope
of escape from the extreme sentence of the law. There
is no other news worthy of special reference, and there
appears to be no change in the state of trade. The abun.

(From the Spectator.)

The revenue accounts, for the year and quarter ending
on the sth instant, are published this morning ; and on
the whole they are not unsatisfactory. The usual at-
tempts are made to prove a good deal out of them ; but
there is in the details so much balancing of " increase"
and " decrease," that the opposite parties contrive to get
up very opposite appearances. In almost all branches an
increase on the year is set against a decrease on the quar-
ter, or vice versa. The excise is an exception, for while
it has made a trifling advance on the quarter, it has ad-
vanced £387,000 on the year ; indicative, of course, of
the improved condition of the people. The greatest
quarterly increase is in the Customs—£ss2,ooo ; hut
then there is a little decrease on the year, mid the inter-
preters of these things will conclude that trade has been
stationary. Miscellaneous has a large increase on the
year—£l,oss,ooo ; and the income-tax still does its work,
showing an increase on the quarter of £197,000, and of
£4,678,000 on the year. The result is, that the net
increase on the quarter is £725,000; on the year,
£5,742,000: a better state of the national accounts,
whatever the state of the nation itself.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

Commons, and a large majority in the Council Cham-
ber, it was a matter of surprise that the conservative
press did not stand foremost in the town especially as
two of the journals (the STANDARD and Mail) had, in
order to comply with the taste of the public, turned their
papers into weekly publications. It was in the power of
the conservatives to afford considerably more support than
at present to the conservative press, and he was of opinion
that they ought to do so, instead of giving it to their radical
opponents. (Cheers.) He concluded by passing a deserved
compliment on Mr. George Clay, who had not only been
of general and essential service in the wards, but had re-
cently been instrumental in inflicting two inglorious
defeats on the emissaries of the anti-corn-law league
who had made their appearance in North Toxteth. The
toast was drank with due honours.
Mr. CLAY said that he was more a man of deeds than
of words, and should therefore but briefly r=spond to the
toast. Allusion had been made to the upsetting of two
anti-corn-law meetings, and he had to state with regret,
that the battle was left to be fought almost entirely by the
operatives themselves. He was prepared at all times to
assist the cause which they had all so much at heart, but
he really thought that those whose interests were most
deeply affected by the present agitation, should come for-
ward and lend their assistance. (Hear.) If other wards
would energetically come forward after the example of Tox-
teth, the anti-corn-law lecturers would soon be swept out
of the town altogether. (Cheers.)
" The Chairman and Committee at the late election"
was next drunk, and was replied to in a neat manner by
Mr. A. SMITII. _ _ _

Mr. SH EPPARD then gave ;" the Protestant Tradesmen
of Liverpool," which was drunk with much applause.
Other appropriate toasts followed, concluding with the
health of " mine host," and thanks to him for the splen-
did entertainment he had provided.
Mr. BRIGHOUSE briefly responded, after which the
party rose, it being nearly midnight. A number of the
gentlemen present walked in procession to the town, pre-
ceded by the band, which played a number of loyal tunes.
They formed a semicircle opposite Mr. Inman's door, in
Windsor-street, and shook the welkin with their cheers—
the band playing " See the Conquering Hero"—" Rule
Britannia," &c.—after which " each took his several
homeward way."
The articles presented to Mr. Inman were a siver
coffee pot, teapot, sugar basin, and cream ewer, a dozen
spoons, and sugar tongs ; tea and coffee services of beau-
tiful china buff and gold, and a splendid papier macho
tea tray.

which, after a trial of Eighteen Months, he can confi-
