"YANG,"
THE CENTRAL FIRE

WHEN Ke-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint-
ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal headed
the intelligence then received with " Settlement of the Chi-
nese Dispute—Three Millions to be paid the English—Trade
resumed at Canton," &c., CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 18
years' experience of the Chinese told hind that his country-
men had been duped ; and he predicted that, " though Ke-
shin might promise millions, he would never pay a dollar ;
that, instead of resuming trade, he would enforce its stop-
page, to keep the English without tea ; " and that " Elliot
would rue the hour" when he first relied on Ke-shin's pro-
mises. The public now know whose judgment of the Chi-
nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CAPTAIN
PIDDING'S ; and they see that CAPTAIN PIDDING'S predic-
tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG," the Chinese
definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc-
ceeded Ke-shin. " Y ANG " has officially recommended
" the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup-
ply is quite exhausted, when he foretels that " they will
become reverently submissive, and give gold for the precious
leaf." Commodore Bremer's despatch mentions that " the
Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the
statement that " 200,000 Chinese were ready to sack and
burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name.
CAPTAIN PIDPING still thinks that the force sent out will
be found insufficient to coerce China, that no tea will come
out whilst bullets pour in, and that " teas will be dearer
than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold
under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and ".Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea-
dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he
aloneimports, and which they found it impossible to procure,
have given the same title to rubbish of their own mixing, so
that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's,'
" Mowqua's," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Agains
such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME."
This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every
really genuine package. For country agencies, address Cap-

LIVERPOOL CARTAGES

HAVING seen a second edition of Mr. Hardman's Cart-
age Lengths, and a notice in the Courier vouching for
its accuracy, I beg respectfully to state that it is very incor-
rect, giving the distances in some places' in favour of the
Cartowner, and in others the contrary;And therefore calcu-
lated to mislead. I have proved to sreral Merchants and
Brokers its incorrectness, and shall be glad to point out
to any gentleman wbo may call, that the publication is not
only incorrect, but so limited in its application, that it is of
little use ; and therefore propose publishing one upon an
extended scale, trusting that upwards of thirty years, prin-
cipally devoted to measuring cartage distances, will enable
me to draw out a useful and correct statement of the diffe-
rent lengths, and I pledge myself for the accuracy of what I
shall submit for general approbation.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday evening, at seven o'clock,
Mrs. Thomsett, of the Seven Greys, Westborough, dropped
down and died immediately. The deceased was in her usual
health till the moment of the awful event. An inquest was
held, and a verdict of " Died from a fit of apoplexy', was
returned. It is singular that the deceased was conversing,
while at tea about an hour previously, respecting the kind of
coffin in which she should like to be buried, without the
/liai de-
most distant anticipation that she should so soon have to be
placed in one. The deceased was 48 years of age.--

COTTON MARKET, APR IL 21

In the early part Of the day our Cotton market appeared very
quiet and rather tame, all speculative enquiry having ceased, and
the trade disposed to fight shy of the late advance. The day's
business vas only estimated at 3,000 to 3.500 bales, when at the
close of change, to the surprise o all parties a speculator sprung
up, and bought within a fraction of 2,000 bales in one hand (at
about Ad per lb,) making in all about p &too 'pore say 6,000 bales.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AvalL

_ .
A change of wind having brought in many vessels which
had been previously detained off the port, we have to note
since this day week a fair quantity of Barley and Malt coast-
wise; a considerable increase in the supply of Oats, with a
moderate arrival of Oatmeal, from Ireland ; and from abroad
a liberal accession of Wheat, amounting to nearly 15,000qr5.,
chiefly from France and the Mediterranean, besides 1360 qrs.
from Calcutta.

At the opening of this day's market, good English, Irish,
acd foreign free Wheats were held with rather more firm-
ness ; but the millers remalping for the most part inactive,
very moderate sales only ,vPte practicable, and the trade
clOsed at a decline of Id: to.2d: per 70Ibi. from the rates of

Here and in the country markets towards the end of last

From the proximity of Haekin's-hey to the Exchange,

C. EISENSTEIN'S mode of making Coffee and Chocolate
is totally different to any person's in this country. The
Coffee is the best that can be purchased, and undergoes a
simple cleansing process previous to being roasted, by which
means, none but the sound berries being used, the finest
flavour is retained. The Chocolate manufactured also by C.
Eisenstein will be found of a rich and delicious flavour, and
which will prove its superiority to any other.
The Berlin Coffee House is supplied with the Liverpool.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 9

There is no new feature to notice in our Cotton market, the dis-
astrous commercial Indian news may have lulled the demand a
little, but prices remain steady and unchanged. Yesterday's sales
amounted to 3500 bales, and to-day they may be fairly estimated at
4000, all to the trade. The fact of large business having been
done for four weeks consecutively, and the trade having tempo-
rarily supplied themselves, may account to a certain degree for the
last quiet week, as well as this.

LEAF THAT REMINDS OF THEE

(From "Handy Andy," No. 6.)

How sweet is the hour we give,
When fancy may wander free,
To the friends who in memory live !
For then I remember thee !
Then, wing'd, like the dove from the ark,

heart, o'er a stormy sea.
i back to my lonely bark
:af that reminds of thee

But still does the sky look dark,
The waters still deep and wide ;
Oh ! when may my lonely bark
In peace on the shore abide?
But through the
mfuyture far,
Dark though course may be,
Thou art my guiding star !
My heart still turns to thee !

When I see thy friends I smile,
I sigh when I hear thy name ;
But they cannot tell the while

MR. T. DUNCOMBE AND THE CHARTIST

PETITION ;
SAID TO BE SIGNED BY 3,000,000 OF CHARTISTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR,—It appears to me that Mr. Duncombe and his
" national petition," as it has been called, have been allowed
to pass by too quietly, and many even of sound men are in
the habit of speaking of the Chartists as a very large portion
of the community, which is not at all the case.
The best way of investigating a tale of romance is to
reduce it to real life; and the best way of analysing a peti-
tion of this sort is to reduce it to figures. The case then will
stand thus :
Mr. Duncombe admits that 1,000,000 out of the 3,000,000
were the signatures of women and children.
Now, the population of the United Kingdom is .. 26,870,144
Of which two-thirds are children

Leaving of adults
Half of which, or

8,956,716
4,478,358

are females.
We have, then. Mr. T. Duncombe, with his usual effron-
tery, declaring that half the adult male population of the
United Kingdom are chartists, a matter which every man
must know to be a perfect absurdity. But Mr. O'Connell
has declared that there are no chartists in Ireland ; and as
the adult male population of Ireland amounts to 1,367,563,
we have to deduct them from the 4,478,358, leaving but
3,110,795. This same leader of these mighty men of straw
would then have to admit that two-thirds of the population
of Great Britain are chartists. Where are they to be found ?
These national petitions are all very fine, for nobody can
scrutinize them ; but I would like to throw out a challenge
to Mr. Duncombe.
This town of Liverpool contains a population of say.
300,000 persons, the male adult portion of which would
amount to 50,000, and I will challenge this chartist leader
to shew that one-tenth even, or 5,000 of them are chartists.
I had the pleasure not long since of taking the chair at an
anti-chartist meeting. in this town, when they were specially
but to attend and defend the charter, and they atideo:
but about 200 to 300 mighty men of valour were all traigamaid_
be found, and I believe they were made up
tion of those beautiful ingredients, viz., chartists,
and socialists, d that all such
by trtbfstas, papists,
I doubt not that it will be invariablyefolin

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JUNE 15

During the present week we have had a very limited demand for
Wheat, and all but the finest samples must be quoted Is per quarter
lower. In Barley little passing; both the supply and wants of the
trade being trifling. Beans and Oats are held for Is per quarter
advance, which checks the sale for both articles. The weather
continues hot and dry, though some parts of Shropshire, Cheshire,
and Lancashire, have been visited by thunder storms, in a few
instances of considerable duration.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 13.
So favourable a season for Cattle, in one important point of
view, as the present has not been known for some years past, but
it is attended with after evils. The crops of Hay are in all dis-
tricts represented as very inferior, void of sufficient juice, and very
thin, from the want of rain, and the under grass is exceedingly
backward. The supply of Beasts this morning was rather short,
consisting of 2,356, but large of Sheep and Lambs, the number
comprising 30,210 head. Of Calves and Pigs the supply was an
average one. From the excessive heat—a drawback to slaughter-
ing—the wants of the butchers were on a much more limited scale
than ordinary. The trade consequently resumed its late dullness,
and many head were turned out unsold. Prices are already at so
low a figure, that an increased heaviness in the trade has no further
depressing effect upon the prices. The rates of to-day were un-
altered from Friday last in all instances.
