CAUTION.
HALL'S PATENT STARCH

IVIR. LAWRENCE HALL deems it a duty to himself
and the Public to guard them against the many spurious
imitations which are daily foisted upon them under the va-
rious denominations of ' Best Patent Starch," " Best White
Patent Starch," " Patent Glazed Starch," " Satin Faced
Starch," " Superior Patent Starch," &c. &c. These inva
riably disappoint consumers, and greatly injure them by an
inferior article being imposed on them as his make.

_ .
It is a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr.
HALL took out a Patent for his invention before he brought
the Article to the perfection for general use to which it has
now attained; and it is better known still, that all the imi-
tators have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S Patent. Starch, other makers being ignorant
of his present mode of preparing it; and if such were not
the case, their premises and situation would not be suitable.
Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not
to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully
requested to ask for
HALL'S IMPROVED PATENT STARCH.

No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it.

IMPORTANT NEWS

FROM THE

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.

Despatches have just been received from the Governor of
the Cape of Good Hope, containing accounts from the officer
commanding the troops at Port Natal. The intelligence is
important. The following is a summary of it :
Advices have been received from the Cape of Good Hope,
dated 15th July, bringing advices from Port Natal of the 3d
of the same month. They announce the junction of the re-
inforcements sent from Cape Town with Capt. Smith's gal-
lant little band, who, with 26 wounded within his closely-
confined camp, and no other food than horseflesh for more
than a fortnight, and a desperate and vigilant foe around
him, had managed to maintain his post. Aided by the
Southampton frigate. Captain Ogle, and the Conch
schooner, commanded by Mr. Bull, Colonel Cloete landed
his troops, although the headlands at the entrance of the
harbour were armed with guns, and the Boers had col-
lected in force to oppose him, with very few casualties.
Immediately after his disembarkation, Colonel Cloete
marched with detachments of his force, and two days' only
provisions, upon Congella, the Boers taking flight with
the utmost precipitation. In this place were found their
stores, and a foundry for shot. The Boers had retired to
their encampment, 12 miles off, where they had mustered to
the number of 400. Col. Cloete, having had no time to
land his stores from the Southampton, was unable to make
any forward movement, but in the event of the Boers not
accepting his terms, would lose no time in so doing.
Meantime, the Caffres, who have been so cruelly treated
by the Boers, have attacked and killed several of their body,
whilst several of the inhabitants of Congella had volunteered
to take the oath of allegiance. The Boers had offered to
confer with Col. Cltote between their camp and Congella ; but
the colonel declined any negotiation not prefaced by their sub-
mission. Hitherto the colonel bas very properly declined to
enlist the Aborigines in his cause. The Boers are, it appears,
labouring under the absurd notion that they will be protected
by the King of the Netherlands, and this on the authority of
' a person wholly unauthorised, whose sole object was to excite
disaffection to British government. The last of Colonel
Cloete's dispatches announces that Petorius and his band
were retreating to Maritzburg, having heard that Panda and
the Zoolars were marching against them. There appears to
be no dopbt that the Dutch settlers must immediately come
to terms, for they are now between two fires, and must feel
that they had better accept the conciliatory proposals that
have been made to them than persist in their present course.
The conduct of Captain Smith and his devoted little band ap-
pears to have been most praiseworthy. Notwithstanding
the extremity to which they were reduced, they persisted in
refusing the proffered services of Panda and his hordes.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT.I6.

The duty has again advanced on Foreign Wheat to 165.,
on Rye to 10s. 6d. per qr. ; on Flour to 9s. 71d. per barrel ;
upon Colonial Wheat to 35., on Rye to is. 6d. per qr., and
on Flour to ls. 91d. per barrel, with the prospect of these
articles shortly attaining the highest rates payable from
British possessions.
Of English, Irish, and Foreign Grain, the arrivals into this
port within the last three days have been unusually small;
and of Flour, scarcely more than about 4000 barrels from
Canada and the United States.

Notwithstanding the preVailing impression that the imports
from abroad will not be repeated so extensively as heretofore
for some time to come, and that meanwhile we shall have to
depend principally upon supplies to be derived from the
growth of this country and Ireland, the transactions here, in
any department of the corn trade between Tuesday and to-
day, have been very unimportant, and the general quotations
specified in our last circular barely maintained.
Upon a very slender attendance of town and country buy-
ers at our Corn Exchange to-day, and more than ordinary
indifference on the part of millers to increase their engage-
ments, we have to report an exceedingly dull trade for all
descriptions of Foreign Wheat, which were decidedly easier
to purchase, and had sales been practicable to any mate-
rial extent, somewhat lower terms would have been
conceded. Of English Wheat no fresh samples appeared ;
the few small lots of Irish New, therefore, were mostly sold,
yet not without submitting to a decline of 2d. to 3d. per
701bs. from the rates previously noted.
States and Canadian Flour, being in limited request, were
the turn cheaper. Having no English or Irish offering,
prime marks would readily command late prices.
New Oats, meeting little attention, must be noted Id per
451bs. cheaper, but old, upon a rather better inquiry, are
unaltered in value. With the exception of 2000 to 3000
loads of old Oatmeal disposed of at an abatement of 6d per
2401b5., and a few small lots of new at a similar decline,
very lile.business in this article has been transacted to-day.
Being without any supply of Malting Barley, no exact
value for such is yet ascertainable, and grinding qualities are
little more than nominal to-day. Malt and Beans. moving
slowly into consumption, scarcely support former prices.
Boiling Pease are also difficult to sell ; of the slow kinds of
foreign, however, several parcels have been taken for feed-
ing at 295. to 31s. per quarter.

PRICE'S PATENT COMPOSITE, OR IMITATION
SPERM CANDLES.
THEY give a brilliant and steady Light, withoufrequiring
to be Snuffed, and are equally applicable for Family or
Counting-house use, and are now much used4n the Metro-
polis for Lighting Churches and Chapels anti Public Build-
ings generally, at Is. per lb., which, compirred with the light
given, is cheaper than the commonest Tallow Candle.
These Candles are supplied by most of the Chandlers
throughout the Country, but where they cannot otherwise be
had, on remitting £5 to EDWARD PRICE and Co., Belmont,
Vauxhall, Surrey, any private customer may be supplied
with 1001bs., and no charge will be made for the box, the
value of which will, in most cases, cover the expense of car-
riage. The box will be charged for any smaller quantity.
The great success of these Candles has given rise to many
imitations also called Composite, but unlike E. P. and Co.'s
in everything but name • and these imitations are often re-
commended by the Retailers, because they get more profit on
the sale of them than E. P. and Co. can afford on theirs.

" The new scale of corn duties is extending its effects to
the continental speculators. Many failures in the north of
Europe, we are given to understand, have occurred, from
the extensive fluctuations noted in the value of wheat in our
market, but none have occasioned so much regret as the
stoppage of Messrs. Lubienski and Co., at Dantzic, an-
nounced in the letters received thence yesterday. It has
been before rumoured that they would be obliged to arrange
with their creditors, but from their high connexions in
Poland it was not for a moment apprehended that they
would be reduced to the painful necessity of closing their
doors. From what has transpired on this subject in the
city, it does not seem that their whole burden of misfortune
has been created by the operation of the new scale of duties,
though there can be no doubt of its having hastened the
catastrophe, for it is universally believed that the firm had
sustained damage in connexion with failures which have taken
place here and in Ireland. The continental houses are ex-
pected to be the greatest sufferers by this event, It is yet
hoped that their family connexions will come to their assist-
ance. Their debts and liabilities are stated to spread over
£lOO,OOO to £150,000, and their assests are reckoned at not
more than a tenth of that amount."

To say that we did not anticipate many such failures
would be gross hypocrisy. We knew that speculation,
whether by the foreign or the home corn merchants,
would be heavily mulcted by the working of Sir Robt.
Peel's measure. The present sliding scale, and the
late jumping scale have, accordingly, been found to be
two vastly different affairs to deal with. The Quakers
of Mark-lane have been astonished, and their efforts to
victimize the native grower and the public paralized ;
and however much we may grieve for the fate of such
misled men as the parties mentioned in the remarks of
the Times, we augur every good result from the ex-
ample which it furnishes. In future " men who play
at bowls will expect rubbers."

DISNIISFIAL OF MR. ROWLAND HILL.

(Prow the Morning Herald.)

Tim C'h;•onicle complains bitterly of the dismissal from his
situation of Mr. Rowland Hill, " the individual to whom
the country is indebted for the inestimable advantages of the
cheap postage ;" and adds with a howl, like a hired mourner
at an Irish wake, " Mr. Rowland Hill is no longer to have
even a share in the working of his own plan." Before we
lament the irreparable loss to the public service of the " in-
dividual" alluded to, it may perhaps be worth while to ask
what are the " inestimable advantages " resulting from this
highly-vaunted scheme. It is true it has promoted letter-
writing amongst " the million "--footmen and ladies' maids
correspond with each other more freely now than heretofore
—" literary dustmen," unfettered by distance, appeal now
to the penny post—and begging-letter writers have increased
in the proportion of ten to one. They whose hands were
formerly familiar only with the spade or the flail, have be-
taken themselves to calligraphy, and, instead of enjoying
their wonted evening pipe and pot of beer, write letters to
Chronicle, and sign themselves " Clodpole." " Whap-
straw" and so forth. These advantages are manifest, but
there is one which the Chronicle keeps in the back ground ;
the loss to the revenue of something very like a million
sterling per annum, in consequence of the adoption of Mr.
Rowland Hill's " plan." How far that portion of the pub-
lic, not given to sentimental or political scribbling, benefits
by the " plan " we leave to the Chronicle to explain in its
next article on taxation.
But the gravamen of the ()Wenn charged against the
Government is not so much the actual dismissal of Mr. Hill
as the refusal to allow him to continue " to have a share" in
the " working" (the Chronicle calls it) of the " plan," by
which we suppose is meant the profits arising from it.
Let the acute and well-instructed officials at St. Martin's-
le-Grand perform the labours of the penny-post system, but
give Mr. Hill a recompense for the " plan,' which costs the
nation a million annually. May we not exclaim with
Falstaff, " Didst thou not share? Hadst thou " not fifteen-
pence 1" Or rather fifteen hundred pounds a year ? And
is not this a sufficient reward for the " plan ?" But, as the
Chronicle says, Mr. Hill has evidently "a large and com-
prehensive grasp," and thinks himself an ill-used man if he
be not saddled for life upon the country, like the old man of
the sea on Sindbad's slfoulders.

he owners of property will not protect and cleanse

it—will not close up their dark and filthy passages—
the authorities, we presume, are fully empowered to
compel them, or to proceed themselves to do so. The
want of a proper legislative protection has entailed
upon us the existence, in the heart of the borough, of
a mass of crowded, ill-ventilated, ill-severed buildings.
We cannot now remove them. They constitute an es-
tablished evil. Their owners are, to a certain extent,
beyond the control of law; but they are not entirely so.
When this property becomes a nuisance, dangerous to
the public health, and obnoxious to the sight of every
passer-by, we can at least compel its owners to abate
the nuisance if we cannot accomplish the far more de-
sirable consummation, the removal of the property.

Whilst upon this subject, may we ask what do the
authorities purpose doing with the large space of
ground fronting the post-office ? At present we ob-
serve that it is boarded round and converted into cart
sheds, timber yards, &c., with a reasonable number of
narrow passages for the bestowal of offal and the con-
venience of skulkers and thieves. It cannot surely be
for any object of profit that this valuable ground is
thus appropriated, and the property of the surround-
ing neighbourhood depreciated ; and we would respect-
fully call the attention of the Council to its proper dis-
posal. We do not suggest to what it should be ap-
propriated. Building upon it, however, we presume
is out of the question. Some day we must connect by
a road through this very ground the north and south
parts of the town. In the mean time, throw down
these cart sheds—sweep away these wooden alleys—

throw open this space and pave or flag it ; and imme-
diately you make the property at the bottom of Hano-
ver-street, in Canning-place, and in places adjacent—
at present in a most dilapidated condition—worth the
notice of the capitalist ; and our splendid Custom-
house, instead of being surrounded by unsightly ruins
and half-finished erections, will be surrounded by well-
built and well-occupied warehouses and offices, and
become, as it ought to be, our central and best busi-
ness locality.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

SIR,—In the report of the Catholic meeting, held in the
Queen's Theatre on Thursday evening last, your reporter
ascribes certain remarks which I made in reference to
" calumniators then present," to a disposition on my part to
assail " the representatives of the Protestant press."
Allow me to assure you, that the remarks in question had
reference to certain Catholic Marplots, whose names it is
unnecessary to specify. lam not, be assured, of that dicta-
torial class of politicians which would resent with harshness
the strictures of an avowed opponent. It is the unmasked
foe, not the open enemy, whom I despise, and I ever shall
despise.—l am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant,

E. C. GRIFFIN.

5, Surrey-street, Kent-square,
lith September, 1842.
[ln reply to the above we can only say that, whilst fully
crediting Mr. Griffin, we can readily excuse the conclusion
to which our reporter came upon hearing the remarks of that
gentleman. Romanism is not apt to split upon its humblest
members ; and we are convinced that even Mr. Griffin, much
as he may despise " the Marplots," masked or unmasked,
of whom be speaks, dare not denounce them " by name 1"
Our columns are open if he likes to try the experiment.—

ROMISH CONTROVERSY.

On consideration we find several sentiments in the letter of
" Episcopalian" which forbid us to publish it.
We have received from Mr. Holden, of Whitechapel, the
sum of ten shillings, to be handed to the widow of the late
W. B. Evanson. Need we commend this excellent ex-
ample of true Orange feeling to the brethren of the order ?
We shall be happy to be made the vehicle of conveying aid
and comfort to the bereaved, of whose real worth and
necessities we can confidently speak.
