TO ADVERTISERS

With a view of affording additional advertising facili-
ties to a class upon whom, our present scale presses
rather heavily, we have been induced to make an
alteration in our charge upon all advertisements
which relate to Situations for Clerks or Household
Servants, Houses to Let, Apartments, and other
subjects which come under the head of " Wants."
In future we shall insert all advertisements of this
description, not exceeding FOUR LINES, for THREE
SHILLINGS each; and we need scarcely impress
upon the attention of advertisers that the well-known
respectable circulation of the LIVERPOOL STAN-
DARD at all times insures valuable notice being
drawn to their advertisements.

FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1842

If the cargo of the " brig Creole" be tile property
of brother Jonathan, it is a species of property which
in this country we do not recognise, and in which,
within the British dominions, we do not allow that any
man, whether native or foreigner, can have a rightful
possession. This being the case, it necessarily follows
that we must negative any claim to compensation for
loss of such property, by whomsoever it may be made.
Our readers are aware of the facts connected with the
case of the Creole : they are briefly these. The Creole
sailed from Richmond, U.S., to New Orleans with a
cargo of 133 slaves. On the voyage, the slaves rose
against their masters and keepers, killed one and
wounded others, and compelled the crew to carry them
to the English port of Nassau, New Providence. On

arriving there the Arnerican Cotisul

ged tlio tlo,

vernor to place a guard on board and prevent the slaves
from landing-, which was accordingly done, till the
matter had been investigated by two magistrates
captain took the testimony of the passengers and crem,

19 slaves were identified as having participated in the
mutiny and murder. They were placed in confinement
until further orders, the Governor refusing to have

them sent to America under the circumstance
other 114 slaves were liberated by her Majesty's au-
thorities, on the ground that the slaves must be con-
sidered and treated as passengers, having the right to
land in boats from the shore whenever they thought
proper.

Upon these facts the Americans pretend to found a
claim for compensation against the British authorities.
The case is thus argued by the New York Courier and
