moved a resolution to the effect, that the meeting pledged
itself to support Mr. Royden at the ensuing election; and
that a committee to formed to adopt measures to secure his
return. (Cheers.) 1 n moving this resolution he begged to
make one or two remarks. Great blame had been attached
to him (Mr. Cooper) for the position he had taken up with
legard to his late colleague, Mr. Robinson ; but he begged to
state that his objection to Mr. Robinson had not arisen from
any personal motive whatever. (Hear.) There was no man
Whom he more highly esteemed, or whose character he had
a better opinion of, or who, in his place in the council, was
more efficient. But he (Mr. Cooper) could not forget that
he had one great principle to act upon from which he could
not depart—that of Scriptural education—(cheers)—and if
his constituents were to swerve from it, he would not go into
the council as their member. (Continued cheers.) And he
begged to add, that if Mr. Royden swerved from that great
Principle, he (Mr. Cooper) would be the first man to oppose
him. (Great cheers.)
Mr. JACKSON seconded the motion, and it was carried
unanimously.
Mr. ROYDEN was then introduced to the meeting, amid
loud cheers. He said that he felt sincerely obliged to them
for the honour they had done him in selecting him as their
candidate. He was, and always had been, a staunch sup-
porter of the constitution in Church and State ; and if they
should elect him to serve them in the town-council, he
should do so to the best of his abilities. (Great applause.)
The meeting then separated.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 21.

The sales of Cotton to-day are estimated at 3000 bales.
Those of the week are 16,030, of which speculators have
taken 1600 and exporters 500. We cannot quote a decided
decline of - for this week, though in many places parties are
taking offers they refused early in the week, and the market
closed exceedingly flat and heavy.

COTTON MARKET, Ocrramt 24.
Since our last circular the demand for Cotton has somewhat im-
proved. On Saturday there was a fair attendance of the trade,
accompanied by a specnlative inquiry for Swats, in all 60.0 bales
were sold, and to-day the improved tone and feeling has been ap-
parent, holders refusing offers which they would have taken last
week. The sales to day are estimated at 4000 bales, and the
market closes with firmness. •

SKIDMORE V. MASON.

In this action the plaintiff claimed £l9 from the defendant
as rent for the use and occupation of a house belonging to
him in Elizabeth-street. The defendant is a landing waiter,
and paid the first quarter's rent, which was due in January
last, to Mr. Byford, auctioneer, for the plaintiff, in the
March following, since which period he had paid nothing.
In answer to an application from the attorney, in Sep-
tember, the defendant stated, that owing to unforeseen
circumstances, he had become involved in difficulties; and
that if proceedings were taken against him, he must defend
them in order to gain time. Some difficulty occurred in
proving the duration of the tenancy, which being overcome,
the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount
claimed, £l9.
several undefended causes were afterwards tried; and the
court adjourned about four o'clock till 9 o'clock to-morrow
(this day.)

'WRITTEN 'UNDER THE FEELINGS EXCITED BY READING
GRAY'S ODE, THE " PROGRESS OF POESY.

(For the Liverpool Standard.)

What art thou, Power unseen,
My spirit's depths revealing,
Waking feelings that have been
Long quenched, or haply now but spring
New-born from some teeming cave
'Neath the soul's unfathomed wave?

Lo ! they rise, in tumult strong,
Bursting from that living deep ;
Burning thoughts upon me throng,
Wild ecstacies my spirits steep;
Too heavy seem these bonds of clay—
My soul would burst them, and away !

Retune my lyre, sweet Poesy !
Awake to life each silent string !
On thy suppliant child—on me
The shadow of thy mantle fling !
Raise my fluttering wing from earth ;
Give these pressing visions birth !
See aloft each glowing car
Through paths ethereal fly !
Gazing, blinded, from afar,
I long to soar with them on high ;
Still, though chained to earth I be,
Struggling, struggling to be free !
But though my footsteps may not climb,
Mighty Parnassus! thy dread steep,
Yet I may pluck the fragrant thyme
That round thy flowery base cloth creep,
And there full many a chaplet wild
Shall twine, Oh muse ! thy lowly child.

Middling and low kind unaltered. Favourite brands of pickled
Butter are limited to price about 3s. higher than our last quotation.

In the letter of " 13. D." on the subject of the Dock Ware-

" premiums are to fall to 6s. 6d. per cent.." we should
have printed " Is. 6d. per cent."

If we bad the ear of " Ignotus baud ignarus" for a few
moments, we could furnish him with a few facts which
would surprise him, and serve to prove to him that his
surmises about our motives are grossly unfounded. It is

selves.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 21.

In to-day's market there were exhibited 10 Beasts from Hamburg;
but from other quarters no receipts have come to hand this week
for sale here. The supply from our own districts being small, the
Beef trade was somewhat renovated, and Monday's quotations were
firmly supported. Prime old Downs moved off steadily, at full
prices; but in other breeds of Sheep exceedingly little was passing,
with a scanty number on offer. We had on sale eight Calves re-
ceived by a steam-ves.sel from Cork, but their quality being ex-
tremely inferior, they did not produce more than 3s. per sibs. ;
otherwise the Veal trade was dull, at barely stationary figures. In
Pigs scarcely any thing was doing at late rates. Mitch Cows sold
at from ..tl6 to £l9. 10s. each, including their small Calf.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE OCTOBER 21.

There is no alteration to notice this week in the duties on
any kind of foreign produce; nor much probability of any
material change for some time to come. _

The arrivals of the past few days are almost exclusively
from Ireland, whence a fair supply of Oats and Oatmeal has
been received, but no increase to the late average quantity of
Wheat and Flour, the manufacture of the latter being less
practicable, on account of the long dry season, and the con-
sequent partial insufficiency of water for working the mills ;
of foreign grain vessels none have been reported since our
last ; and coastwise we have nothing worth- naming fresh in
for to-day.
Since Tuesday we have experienced only a limited retail
inquiry for any article of the trade, and no change has been
observable from the quotations of that date.
Although our Corn-Exchange this morning was by no
means numerously attended by either local or country millers,
the Wheat trade assumed a rather steadier aspect than of
late ; and in addition to a moderate demand for consump-
tion, a few parcels of foreign Wheat were disposed of to
speculative buyers for future re-sale, at prices nearly, and
in son:e instances quite, equal to the current rates of Tues-
day. English and Irish Wheats also, though not in lively
request, were held on the terms then stated.
Flour, without any active or extensive business therein,
moved off gradually, all descriptions remaining unaltered in
value.

Malting and Grinding Batley, as well as Malt, appeared
to meet a slow, limited demand, and scarcely maintained our
last quotations.—Beans and Pease continued to be taken off
sparingly at former prices.
Induced by the considerable decline in Oats and Oatmeal,
during the last few weeks, the operations in both these arti-
cles were more extensive to-day than of late, and each fully
supported the reduced rates noted in Tuesday's circular.

POPRCRAFT.—We understand that letters have been re-
ceived in this city, announcing that the Pope has appointed a
bidele
shop to the see of Jerusalem, under the title of the Bishop
of Babylon.An ominous sobriquet, undoubtedly ! The
policy f the nomination is worthy of the Man of Sin, whose
side at Jerusalemgateisno to reside in the holy city, and retain the hold

also temporary worshippers. and over those

A GOWN TO FIT ANY PARTY,—During the Coalition Ad-
ministration, the Hon. Henry Erskiue held the office of Lord
Advocate of Scotland. He succeeded
after-
wards Lord Melville. On the morning Henry Dundas,
he had an interview with Dundas intl of the apppointment
observing that the latter gentleman had alreadytuter house, when,
ordinary stuff gown which Advocates are in resumed the
i
wearing, be said gaily, that " he must leaven the custom of
off talking
and order his silk gown, the official costume of to go
Advocate and Solicitor General. "It is hardly the Lord
worth while,"
said Mr. Dundas drily, " for all the time you'll want
had better borrow mine." Erskine's reply was exceedinglyit

" From the readiness with which you

made to fit any party ; :but however short my time in office
may be, it shall nc'er be said of Henry Erskine that he

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Amu, 29

The trade has improved both in Beef and Mutton since last
market day, and more partiularly in Lamb, which is quoted at 6s
to 7s, being almost Sd per stone higher. In other articles there is
little change in prices, but there is more demand, and a slight ten-
dency to further improvement.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 29.
The arrivals are tolerably large of English Wheat, Barley and
Oats, with 6000 qrs. of Irish Oats, and about 12,000 qrs. of foreign
Wheat. The Wheat trade is very dull at Monday's prices. Bar-
ley, Oats, Beans and Pease are without alteration, but are a slow
sale, unless for best qualities. The Grass Seed trade is in a very
depressed state, and Tares are nearly unsaleable. Flour unaltered.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, APRIL 29.
We have this week to report large arrivals of all articles in the
trade. Fine samples of new Wheat were in fair request at a re-
duction of is per quarter, inferior parcels of old foreign were
neglected, although offered at a decline of is to 2s per quarter.
The season for Malting being nearly over, Barley must be noted
slow of sale, and is per quarter cheaper. Oats, Beans, Peas, and
Shellings were rather more inquired for than of late, and fully sup.
ported the rates of last week.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 2,
For old Butter it is difficult to give a correct quotation ;—the
trifling business doing, may almost be stated to be at the pur-
chasers own figure. New grass Butter comes to market slowly ;
and its notice will a good deal depend upon the weather. At the
close of the past week 100 s was got for Waterford ; and if the rain
keeps off—much higher rates will be obtained. Beef and Pork of
the finest quality are supported both in price and demand. Bacon
brisk at 478 to 48s. A good deal going into South Wales.

STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, &c,

After the speculative feeling which has pervaded our mar-
ket for Cotton during the past fortnight, the demand has
resumed its previous spiritless tone, without, however, any
material reduction of prices, except in the middling and
lower descriptions of American, which have given way id.
per lb. Holders, however, having been relieved materially
by the late brisk business, shew no disposition to press sales ;
and the market closed on Friday with a tolerably firm feel-
ing, the sales during the week amounting to 20,000 bales.
On Saturday 3,000 bales were sold, and yesterday 3,500, at
last week's prices.

We have little alteration to note in the Manchester goods
market. A fair business is doing, without, however, any ad-
vance in prices ; and the staple manufactures are still im-
moveable to any ,extent which can relieve holders. We are
assured, however, that money is considerably easier than it
has been for some time past ; and manufacturers and mer-
chants only wait for the settlement of the pending measures
of government to resume their wonted activity.

MASSIVE MACHINERY.—In a late number we inserted a
notice of the large shaft made by the Mersey Steel and Iron
Company of this town. The company have since shipped,
on account of the Great Western Steam-ship Company, for
the same large steam-ship, two crank-pins, weighing together
about three tons. Thesa also, of the kind, are the largest
ever made of wrought iron.
DISCOVERY OF A HUMAN BODY NEARLY DEVOURED
BY WATER-RATS.—On Thursday last, as agentleman in a
small punt was fishing in a reservoir at Ratcliffe, near Man-
chester, his line came in contact with a substance in the
water, which, on being taken up, was found to be the body
of a human being in a dreadful state of decomposition, having
evidently been in the water for several months. The water-
rats had made a complete burrow in his body, and when it
was being taken out of the water, one of these noxious ver-
min ran out of his neck between the lower jaw and the
shoulder ! The body was recognised as being that of a me-
chanic who disappeared about six months ago, and, from
other circumstances, is supposed to have drowned himself in
the reservoir.

side of our river, 'When it is generally 'known (which
we believe at this moment is not the case) that this
bill, clothed in the specious garb of the Birkenhead
" Improvement " Bill, has for its real tendency objects
of infinitely greater importance than those of mere lo-
cal " improvement," and such as are opposed to the
best interests of the town and inhabitants of this bo-
rough, it may well become a subject for serious re-
proach how it should happen that this measure should
not have received that bold, active, and determined op-
position to which, from its highly injurious tendency,
it was so deservedly entitled. We have not had an,
opportunity afforded us of going, carefully, through
the details; but we gather, from its sense, that two
distinct objects are attained by it. In the first place,
the Chester and Birkenhead Railway Company have
disposed of a ferry, which, however valuable under the
new arrangement it may prove to the inhabitants of
Woodside, they themselves, as a company, have no de-
sire whatever to retain, and, if report be correct, was not
to he considered as a source of much revenue; and,
in the second place, a power is granted to the same
company to form a tunnel, connecting the terminus of
their railway (distant about half a mile) with the side
of the river at Monks Ferry. To this latter point it is
impossible, as we conceive, not to attach considerable
weight ; for, how can the hotel and shopkeepers fail to
observe that here, surely, in some small degree, their
prosperity is hazarded ? Can they, or any other set of
men, be blinded by supposing that the mere avowed
object of securing a cheap and permanent means of
conveyance between Woodside and Liverpool is in re-
ality the- motive and meaning of .this bill ? On the
contrary, we view it otherwise. Up to the present pe-
riod the Grand. Junction Company have kept clear of
any engagement to permit trains from Birkenhead to
run on their line from Birkenhead via Chester to
Birmingham, and, if they continue in this course,
much may he done to avert the evils we otherwise an-

ticipate;
