PUNCH IN LIVERPOOL.

PONCHPE. MA.NNIIRS FOR MERCANTILE CLERKS.--•
Under thin-title Punch begs to offer his young friends, the
mercantile-clerks of Liverpool, a few hints as to the best
mode of acquiring his own peculiarly correct and amiable
deportment, or, in other words of making Punches of
themselves. In the first place, dear imitative youths, it
is absolutely necessary to have the singularly outrC-cut
coat, longwaisted and broadlapped, and the waistcoat of
the antiquated cut worn by " Young Liverpool." The
cravat must be quite a fancy; and a Brummagem pin, which
can be had for about eighteenpence, is very derirable ;
armed with these, as indispensables, the following ought
to be your made of conducting yourselves to parties call-
ing on business at the offices of your masters—he' begs
pardon, your " governors." When a tradesman presents
himself on a cold winter's day, for payment of an account
or to solicit an order, be standing at the stove rubbing
your bands and, chatting with one or two fellow-clerks ;
and, above all things, let such expressions as these be au-
dible—" Champagne,"" claret," " capital port," " beau-
tiful girl," capital spree," &c. They may lead your
visitor to suppose that your salary is above £4O a-year
and your mother doesn't keep a mangle or, take in wash-
ing. Do not on any account notice him for the first five
minutes, unless it is a wet day, or it snows, and then you
can indulge yourself with observing, with a philosophic
eye, how a man looks under such uncomfortable circum-
stances. If he attempt to obtrude his business upon you,
by addressing you a second time, before you are quite at
leisure to attend to him, walk coolly to your desk, hum-
ming the last new song you have heard at a "Free Con-
cert Room", and affect to be referring to your day book
or a file of bills of lading. If it is the principal of the
office, the cashier, or any particular partner whom he
wishes to see, by all means let that particular party go out
before you inform your visitor of the fact; it is so pleasant
to show him how you could have obliged him if you had
liked. If it is anything in your own department that is
wanted—the petty cash department for instance—walk
out, and say as pompously as possible, that you are going
"on Change". You can afterwards enjoy the thought of
his having to call again to see so important a piece of office
furniture as yourself. If seen by the intruder upon your
valuable leisure, and compelled to attend to his require-
ments, be as surly as you can, it shows your independence.
Never show, by manner or countenance, that you care
anything about his communication, however important to
your master's—pardon again!—your " governor s" inter-
ests ; it shows a jaunty and genteel style of doing things.
In short, be uncivil and disobliging ; it proves you, con-
clusively, to be a Liverpool merchants' clerk, and not a
poor tradesman or shopkeeper's apprentice.
To NEWSPAPER PROPRIETORS.-Mr. Jenkins, of the
Morning Post, begs to offer to conductors of newspapers
in Liverpool.. a collection of his oldest manuscript cri-
tiques, which have been so universally admired, and which
van be altered, as to names, localities, &c., to suit any
occasion; and thus render unnecessary the resort to very
recent publications, from which to pilfer criticism, a prat-
, tice which sometimes leads to detection. Mr. Jenkins
r has also to dispose of, a large collection of Italian, French,
and other phrases, applicable to musical and other sub-
jects, and suitable for interlarding attempts at original
criticism.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTLON.—Master Robt. Williams'
the successful candidate for the Yates Exhibition of £2oo'
is the youth, among the pupils of the High School, on
whom such encomiums for talent were passed at the annual
meeting of 1843. On entering the institution he was
placed in the Lower School, where he remained for three
years and a half, and during that period gave constant
proof of uncommon abilities by gaining at every examina-
tion prizes in each department of his course of instruc-
tion. He was the first who obtained the institution's free
scholarship in the High School, a prize for which only
boys of the Lower School can stand candidates. This is
a youth of great promise, and if his health continue unin-
terruptedly what it has been up to his present age, there
is no doubt but that he will hereafter earn such honours
on the place of his introductory education as will be es-
teemed, by the friends and supporters of that establish-
ment, an equivalent for the patronage they have bestowed
upon him.
THREE BOYS. NEARLY SUFFOCATED ON A BRICK-
KILN.—About eight o'clock yesterday morning, three
boys of from fourteen to fifteen years of age—John Doyle
and John Leigh, (both from Ashey-street) and another
unknown—were found in a state of suffocation on a brick
clump belonging to Mr. Roberts, in Toxteth-park. They
were taken to a public-house, and after being examined
by a surgeon, were conveyed to the Southern Hospital by
Police-constable Muire (539), where they still remain in
a dangerous condition. It was stated yesterday after-
noon that Doyle was not likely to recover. This ought to
operate as a caution to idle and destitute lads and others
who occasionally make a practice of sleeping on or about
brick-kilns, the gas arising from which is extremely per-
nicious, and if long inhaled by persons who have fallen
sound asleep, or from fatigue, or inebriation, may prove
fatal. Parties, moreover, who have no evil intention, and
are destitute of lodging, may, on properly making known
their case to the police, find shelter for the night by being
passed to the Bridewell or the Night Asylum.
ORANGE PROCESSION s.—The following circular, in-
culcating abstinence from all party demonstrations on the
ensuing July anniversaries, has been extensively. distribu-
ted throughout the county Monaghan and adjoining dis-
tricts from the Grand Master
roachiDear friends and bro-
thers.—Another anniversary is appng—the Proces-
sion Act is still in force—for the last four years you have
withstood the taunts of your enemies, and abandoned
your processions, in obedience tc. the laws, by which you
have gained in all quarters the highest honour and praise.
One trial more awaits you before the expiration of the
procession Act. You could not gratify your .enemies
more than by your violation of a law, by which they
would see you dragged, like felons, to a gaol, for the cele-
bration of a day endeared to you by your earliest
trecoiZ-s

TO THE RT. HON. HENRY GOULBURN. M.P.,
ANL/ CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.

Carlton-gardens, London, June 20.

Sir,—l beg to submit that:the nature anti extent of the
injury that will be inflicted on the West India planters by
the adoption of the measures proposed by you, on the part
of the government, for the admission of foreign sugar to
the home market, do not appear to have been appreciated
or well considered in the recent debates that have taken
place in the Elouse of Commons.
The measure proposed is, that foreign free labour mus-
covado and clayed sugars are to be admitted at an addi-
ticnal duty of 10s. ands per cent. per cwt. These are the
only descriptive terms hitherto in use, but sugars are now
improved and partially refined to a great extent by the use
of other means in Java and Manilla, which are not, from
the want of sufficient labour, and high wages unavoidably
paid, practised in our West India colonies; in such cases
grass of a particular kind, united with other means, is
used in place of clay, the sugars are also dried in the sun,
rendering stove heat unnecessary, the processes being at-
tended with increased labour and expense.

Sugars so prepared are equal in quality to such as are
clayed, in colour, grain, and dryness • the loss by them in
waste from drainage on the passage here does not exceed
1 to 2 per cent., frequently nothing; whilst that on our
muscovados is always from 10 to 14 per cent.
In my former letter to you 1 stated that when these
sugars and our muscovados were both refined here, the
produce of the clayeds and improved sugar was on an
average fully twelve Founds more per hundred weight
then from the same quantity of British muscovados; and
that the finer descriptions of foreign that are to be ad-
mitted at 10s. per cwt. will produce from five pounds to
ten pounds more when refined here, and in that propor-
tion increasing the advantage, which, in the first ins,ance,
as I then showed, is equal to 55., and in the second from
7s. Id. to Os. 2d., the last reducing the proposed pro-
tection to 10d. in place of 10s.
These facts must necessarily induce the foreign growers,
from the time they are known to them, with the advan-
tages they possess in having an unlimited supply of cheap
labour, to prepare their sugars intended for this market
of the highest description of fineness that will be admitted
here.

As it is at present the declared intention of the govern-
ment to give 10s. and 5 per cent. per cwt. protection to
British sugars over foreign, I have shown that these inten-
tions must he defeated, and the proposed protection ex-
tinguished, by measures with which the British planters,
from their want of labour, have not the power to compete.
The government have, at the same time, desired it to be
understood that this system is to be the basis of such other
measures as may hereafter be brought forward and adopted,
thus destroying the chance of future relief.
To meet this difficulty, and diminish its injurious effects,
I ventured to suggest to you that a further duty ought to
be laid on foreign clayed sugars, and such others as are of
similar quality and fineness, the amount to be in propor-
tion to the improvement produced by these processes, so
as, in point of fact, the proposed protection of lfis on mus-
covados must be realised, which would require to be not
less than 7s. more per cwt.
At the same time I admitted the fairness of the princi-
ple, that whenever the West Indian planters were in pos-
session of a sufficient supply of labour on such terms as
would enable them to convert and improve the quality of
their mucovados by claying, or other means, so as to be
equal to the foreign, that they should also be made subject
to a similar rateable additional duty, which would not
only he just in itself, but that it was formerly acted upon
when labour was abundant and comparatively cheap in
our West India colonies, which enabled our planters to
clay their sugars, and on which they found it to be to their
interest to pay, an additional duty of ss. per cwt. above
that on muscovados, although I think that on the last
did not then exceed 20s.—a system they would, I doubt
not, be happy to resume,and submit to, for the protection
of the revenue, whenever they may obtain such a supply
of labour on moderate terms as would enable them to do
so ; but until that time arrives, a fair rateable duty on
foreign clayed sdgars, and such as are of similar quality,
would be the means required to protect them to the
extent of the proposed duty on foreign muscovades of 10s„
which will otherwise be rendered nugatory and unavail-
ing, thus defeating the avowed measures of the Govern-
ment.

This duty on British clayed sugars was also deemed
necessary for the protection of the revenue, as the quan-
tity of pure sugar, or saccharine matter, was greater, and
in that proportion the quantity consumed and duty paid
was proportionately reduced.
I hope I may have made myself understood, for the
subject is indeed a vital one to our West India planters,
and that the view I have placed before you, may, whilst it
is yet time, be fully considered by the Government.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
JOHN GLADSTONE.

The members of St. Thomas's Church, Toxteth-park,
who were recently confirmed, have presented their excel-
lent minister, the Rev. Walter Butler, M.A., with a
Bible, Prayer Book, and Buddicom's Christian Exodus,
in 2 volumes, beautifully bound, as a grateful acknow-
ledgement of his indefatigable attention to them while
under examination. We record with pleasure such marks
of respect to the excellent clergy of our Apostolical
church.

GRAND, HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITIOII.-The second
horticultural exhibition of the season, at the Botanical
Gardens, will take place on Friday next, and is expected
to be the most splendid that was ever got up in this loca-
lity, the number of competitors being great, and the wea-
ther being latterly propitious for the growth of plants,
fruits, &c. The exhibition being held in the gardens is
an additional and !strong attraction, as the grounds—in
which the promenade may be enjoyed ad libilum—have
much improved of late years ; and the conservatory, an
inspection of which is itself worth the admission money,
will be thrown open to visitors.
ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—CAUTION TO PASSEN-
GERS.—Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, as the Bir-
benbead steam-boat neared the landing-place at George's
Pier, a seaman belonging to one of her Majesty's steam-
ers, who was on board, in his- anxiety stepped from the
vessel towards the Seacombe ferry-boat, which was be-
tween her and the steps, before the latter had sheered to,
and not having gained a safe footing, fell into the water
between the two. The paddle-wheels of the Birkenhead
boat were still turning slightly at the time, and the first
impression of those on board was that he would be crushed
between the two, or smashed by the floats. By the prompt
and active exertions, however, of the Birkenhead boatmen,
who instantly threw him a rope, he was extricated without
personal injury. This escape ought to be a cantion to
passengers never to leap or step from the vessel they are
in until she is fairly alongside the quay or the outward
vessel.
LIVERPOOL POSTOFFICE.—We beg to call the attention
of our readers to a memorial in the course of signature for
the closing of the Postoffice on Sundays. It appears
thousands of individuals, in consequence of its being open,
are always engaged, more or less, with their usual business
on that day, and thus either entirely prevented from at-
tending to the religious duties of the day, or going through
them in such a frame of mind as precludes the possibility
of deriving little or any good from them. A little altera-
tion in the despatch of the mails from a few other towns,
and a later delivery of letters in Liverpool in the evening,
would obviate any evil which might possibly arise from the
change. As a proof that the measure is very generally
desired, we may mention, that of 1300 householders,
(merchants, agents, tradesmen, &c.,) residing in one
neighbourhood, only nine wish to have their letters on
Sundays. We think no religious person will hesitate to
sign the memorial ; and we trust no other person, after
carefully considering the subject in all its important bear-
ings, will need pressing to do so.
THE WEATHER, during the past week has been con-
siderably more genial in this neighbourhoad than for
many weeks previously ; and its happy effects are al-
ready visible in the improved verdure, and, we may now
almost say, luxuriant appearance of the country. Several
soft showers fell on Thursday and Friday, but still not
sufficient to penetrate the soil to the desirable depth for
general vegetation after so long a general drought—a
soaking downful of some days being " the consumma-
tion devoutly to be wished." We have- since, however,
been still more favored, and are inclined to encourage a
hope that the products of the field, taken generally, will
with a favorable season for gathering in, amount to at
least an average yield. The wheat looks remarkably well,
and will probably be good, and perhaps heavy in grain,
though for the most part shorter than usual in straw.
The oats and barley do not look quite so healthy,
but are yet promising, and may be greatly redeemed,
if feeding rains continue for some time. Much of the
hay-grass has been cut, and a great part of it stacked, but
the crop has been generally very thin. A strong after-
crop is, however, expected. On Saturday the atmosphere
became warmer, and on Sunday the thermometer attained
the greatest beat it has this year indicated. During an
early part of the morning it stood, in a northern aspect, in
Lord-street, at 59°. At 9 A.M. it had risen to 64° at 3
P.M. to 73°, and the extreme of the day was 75°. At 7it
stood at 65°. It is stated, that at the Observatory, St.
James's-terrace (which is more exposed to the sun's rays)
it rose to 79°. We are much indebted to Mr. A.Abra d aam,
optician, for these last interesting statistics. Th

weather in this town, we may here state that it appears
by an intelligent writer in the Times of yesterday, dated
Bermondsey-square, that extraordinary heat was experi-
enced in London on Sunday. The writer states that the
morning was bright, and the barometer steady at 29. 80.
He proceeds—" At two o'clock, p.m. the " shade"
thermometer, north aspect screened, stood at 86, and the
" sun" thermometer was, in the south aspect, 107. At
three o'clock the one in the shade indicated the extraor-
dinary height of 88, and that in the sun 110. At four
o'clock they stood relatively 85 and 99. I placed a ther-
mometer at two o'clock in more direct opposition to the
sun's rays, which raised the spirit to 121 degrees* of
Fahrenheit. The air is still (5 o'clock) indicative of sur-
charged electricity, and the thermometer stands—shade
85, sun 96. I have no recollection of such extreme heat
in London."
* This is probably a mistake either of the writer or typographist,
as, if we recollect aright, the spirit at so high a temperature would,
ut all probability, burst the glass.

WEST INDIES.

The royal mill steam-ship Avon arrived at Southamp-
ton, on S having left Demerara on the 20th ult.,
and Jamaica on the 24th ult.

Rain had fallen in partial showers, and vegetation waS
much improved. Two or three shocks of earthquake had
been experienced.

Great drought is complained at Havannah.

HAYTI.

The dreadful state of affairs in Hayti will be taken no-

tice of ; revolution has been followed by general anarchy ;
the successor of Boyer has been superseded by Guerrier.
an old general of Christophe. A general named A-caat
has felt indignant at this having taken place without his
being consulted, and has issued a counter proclamation;
he is in possession of Cayes ; his followers are represented
to be about 500 ragged wretches, badly armed, but per-
fectly under his control; he bas flogged many of the pri-
soners in the fort Boyer unmercifully, and had others
shot. With his own hand lie is represented to have shot
six, and is said to be one of the greatest monsters that
ever existed, and his natural ferocity is said to be much
increased by an immoderate use of rum. He has been
seen frequently so drunk as to knock down his aides-de-
camp, tear their swords from then, and they only escaped
with their lives by running away.

BIRKENHEAD :DOCK B ILL—The Lords' Committee
on this bill will commence their sittings this day, Tuesday.
A grand regatta will take place on the Mersey, near
Eastham, on Tuesday, the 16th of July.
TnE POLES.—We learn from Warsaw that the Emperor
of Russia has just granted several exiled Poles permission
to return, and to enter into possession of their property,
which had been confiscated.—Galignani.
At a meeting of the Oxford University Convocation on
Thursday. Dr. Tattershall, of this town, a member
and late Fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge, took his
ad eundem degree of Doctor of Divinity.

COFFEE.—The reduction in the duty on coffee is an-
nounced in another column, by Messrs. Hollis, Walford,
and Co.;and if public patronage in any way denotes the
quality of the article they offer, theirs must be equal to
any. The flavour is exactly to our palate.
TEIE IRISH VICEROYALTY.—The Duke of Richmohd
has been mentioned as the probable successor of Earl de
Grey as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but there is reason
to believe that Lord Heytesbury will b e appointed to that
important post.

CUSTOM' HOUSE FRAUDS .—The following verdicts
were found for the crown in the cases specified, in the
Court of Exchequer, on Friday ; Attorney General v.
Candy £2.91& 18s. Same v. Deane £2.918185. Same'',
Candy £2,755 4s. Same v. Dean £2,755 4s.

CARPETS, &e.—We bed to direct the attention of our
readers, particularly those furnishing, to the advertise-
ment of Mr. Hutton, in another column. His stock is
extensive, and of such a character as cannot fail to give
general satisfaction.
Letters from Stettin dated the 18th inst. state, that the
Emperor of Russia,- the King of Prussia, the Prince
Royal of Prussia, the Dowager Grand Duchess of Meck-
lenburgh Schwerin, and her daughter had arrived in that
town, and that the Emperor and the two Princesses had
embarked for Swinemunde.

A CONSIDERITE KIN-G.—The National states, that
the King of Wurtemberg, in order to prove his solicitude
for the welfare of his subjects, has forbidden any exhibi-
tion of rope dancing in his dominions, in order, as be
declared in his proclamation, to spare the spectators den-
gerons emotions.

IMPORTATION OF COFFEE..—It appears that' in 1840
the quantity of coffee retained was 28,664.3411b5. ; id
1841, 28,370,1571b5. ; in .1842, 28,519,7301b5. ; and iu
3843, 29.979,4041b5., of which last-mentioned quantity
20,130,6301b5. was the produce of British possessions,
and 9,848,7741b5. foreign.
SALM=ON.—The Salmon fisheries in Scotland, and in
the north of England, this season, are unusually fftil of
fine fish, large quantities of which have, during the last
fortnight, been taken, as may be inferred from the fact,
that in the markets, fine large salmon are selling at the
reasonable prices of 7d. and Bd. per pound, and salmon
trout as low as 4d. and 41d. per pound of 14 ounces.
THE SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF LONDON.—At
meeting of this society, held on.the 13th instant, at their
rooms at Somerset-place, Strand, the Rev. D. James,
incumbent of St. Mary's Church, Kirkdale, was chili
elected a member and fellow. The rev. gentleman took
his-place among the fellows at their last sitting before the'
long vacation, on Thursday evening last.

A BIRD'S-NEST IN A LETTER-BOX.—A small bird has
built its nest, and at the present time has young ones, is
the letter-box in the gate at the residence of Mr. J. T.
Leader, M. P., at Putney ; and, what is still more sinzular
is, that this is the fourth season that the same bird, or one
of the same species (tom-tit), has built its nest and reared
its young. [lt would seem that the hon. member is not
much troubled with correspondence from his constituents.]

IRISH STATE, TRIALS.—It will be-seen that the circuits
are to be postponed for the writ of error in the slato trial.,
but such postponement is not to exceed ten days. We
confess ourselves unable to perceive the justice of any
postponement at all. Why are some hundreds of persons
to sutler ten days' additional imprisonment, and, still
worse, so many days of the torture of suspense, for the
sake of eight men, whose imprisonment is, as compared
with theirs, a luxurious retreat ?—Legal Periodical.
DISTRESS OF THE WIDOW AND FAMILY OF AN OLD
AND WELL-KNOWN PUBLIC SERVANT.—Patrick Mur-
phy, better known as " Pat of Birkenhead slip," died last
week, leaving a wife and ten children unprovided for, to
deplore his loss. " Pat" was quite a character in his
way, and well known at the ferries, behaving plied on the
river Mersey for upwards of thirty years. Before the in-
troduction of steam on the river Mersey, " Pat" was al-
ways inquired for, as no man was better acquainted with
the navigation of the river or the working of a ferry boat.
This venerable boatman's family, we trust, will not be
lost sight of by the humane, and we shall be glad to re-
ceive any subscriptions on their behalf.

OPENING LETTERS.—Few persons are aware how let-
ters are opened and re-sealed by the Post-office. Wafers
are opened by the application of moisture, and sealed
letters are opened thus :—The letter is laid on an anvil
with the seal up, upon the seal is laid a square piece of
pure lead, and upon this lead descends a hammer with
considerable velocity. The sudden impact converts the
lead into a seal as faithful as an electrotype, and accord-
ingly it is used to re-seal the letter, vrhich is now opened
by destroying the wax bit by bit. For all letters simi-
larly sealed, the lead seal will do. A blunderer in the
management must have recently led to suspicion. la
small country towns, curious postmistresses keep by them
an assortment of seals, with impressions of hearts, dart 4
&c., for the purpose of enabling them to get at littler
secrets.

AWFUL TRAGEDY.—The Dublin Evening Freeman
publishes the following extract from a letter, dated Gort,
June 21:--" A horrible murder took place within a few
miles of this town yesterday evening. A pensioner
residing near Gort went home and murdered his two sons
—one 13 years of age, and the other 15 years • and in.

round her neck, and he instantly cut her right breast off

ADMISSION OF ROMAN CATHOLICS SCHOLARS Of
TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN.—In the Dublin Queens
Bench Chambers, on Saturday, the Solicitor-General ap-
plied to Mr. Justice Burton for an order to restrain the
issuing of the writ of mandamus, in the case of " Denis
