In pursuance of a requkition, most numerously and respectably signed, a special Meeting of the Pro prietors of Shares in the St. Katharine's Dock Com pany was yesterday held at the Dock-house,.for the purpose of returning thanks to the Directors for' their great and successful exertions in fonvarding this great national undertaking. At two o'clock ToOKE, Esq., the Chairman of the Court of Directors, entered the great room, accompanied by many of the Directors. On his taking his seat, Mr. TOOKE could safely say that the influx of business fully equalled the ut most expectations of the Court of Directors ; the establishment of the company had been fully and beneficially employed. (Hear, hear.) How far there was a prospect of that prosperous state of af fairs continuing, the gentlemen present, the greater part of whom were connected with the trade of the port of London, were as capable of judging as the Court of Directors. He and his colleagues were confidently of opinion that the situation of the docks, and the great advantages which they af- • forded, would attract as much business as they possibly could expect. (Hear, hear.) Though the period since the Westerb Dock had been opened was too short to allow any statement of results to be laid before the proprietors, beyond those of a general na• ture, he might be permitted to say that those results were in a high degree satisfactory. On one point, however, short as was the period since the opening of the docks (and the point to which he was about to allude was of very great importance, as it related to the advantages to be derived from the undertak ing), he was prepared to give a decided opinion; and it was this, that their accommodation, with respect both to wharfage and water, did not fall short of their utmost computation. Provided the company got business, they had accommodation for ships of every class that they expected in these docks.—(Hear.) Not the smallest accident had oc curred in entering the docks to ships of the largest size. West India and East India ships, and other vessels full as large, bad entered with perfect safety. For the satisfaction of the proprietors he should read a summary of all ships and craft that had come into the docks, and all without the slightest inconveni ence, accident, or complaint of want of accommoda tion, from the 25th of October to the 30th of No vember last. In confirmation of the correctness of what he had stated, Mr. Tooke then read . the fol lowing A BSTA ACT, Of the number of Vessels and Craft which have entered the St. Katharine's Dock., from the 25th day ofOctober to the 30th of November last, being 31 working days Tons. 55 Vessels with cargoes, total register tonnage 11,559 12 Ditto to load outwards 2,285 67 Vessels, average 207 tons register each, total 13,844 14 Ditto, entered with iron, stone, and other ma terials for the Works 81 Vt-,els. Total 15,408 Number of lighters which have entered with goods to be housed with the Company from the London Docks, East India Docks, Legal Quays, Stand gate Creek, and vessels in the river l3O Hoys belonging to the East India Company to re ceive goods from the East India ships ll Number of Lighters to load goods from the pre mises of the Company, and out of vessels over- - board, and with goods for vessels loading out wards in the Docks Number of Lighters with merchandise 260 Number of Lighters with materials for the works, 38 Ditto, to load earth excavated from the Eastern Dock site Total number of Lighters and Craft 552 Mr. TooKE then observed, that the vessels car rying stone, &c. for the works, were included in this account, because the facility with which they entered tended to show the security of the water way. Mr. Tooke and the Directors then retired. On the motion of R. C. BAZETT, Esq. RIGID. JENNER, Esq. was called to the chair. Mr. HALL, the Secretary to the Company, read the requisition for convening the meeting. He then read the resolutions. Mr. POYNDER would take the opportunity, thus early, of stating,•that when these resolutions were disposed of he meant to submit another resolution to the proprietors. J. CAPEL, Esq. M.P. in moving the first resolu tion, expressive of the deep sense which the proprie tors entertained of the abilities which had so speedily enabled the Company to open a part of the docks for the purposes of income, took a short view of the origin and progress of this great work. 'We un derstood him to say, that it was first determined, in 1824, to form these docks. Great opposition to the project was manifested, not only by the London Dock Company, but in many other quarters. Those difficulties had, however, been overcome by the per severance and ability of the gentlemen whoa they were now assembled to thank. In 1826, the Direc tors had a most arduous task to perform—that of raising the funds necessary to meet claims for corn. pensation, and to see that those claims were just. —Here their exertions were most beneficial to the Company and meritorious to themselves. In the beginning of May, 1827, the first stone was laid; and, in the incredibly short space of 16 months, the work had assumed its present form. (Hear.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the first re solution. (For the Resolutions see the Advertise ment.) J. L. PREVOST, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. T. SIIEPPARD, Esq., said, that it g4ve him great satisfaction to more the second resolution,---that of thanks to the Directors, which he was confident would be carried with acclamation. (Hear.) B. HAwEs,Esq. seconded the resolution. —Carried unanimously. R. C. BAZETT, Esq., proposed the third resolu tion,--for granting in future a remuneration to the Directors. If they paid those gentlemen as they de served, the company would be bankrupt. In his opinion the port of London and the whole Continent of Europe were indebted to the exertions of the Di rectors; and he believed that few would deny this statement, when they considered the advantages which the docks presented. Every security was here afforded to vessels and their cargoes; and, at the same time, the charges were moderate. (Hear.) ILTID NIcnoLL, Esq., felt great pleasure in se conding the resolution.—Carried unanimously. • T. 'WEEDING, Esq. had to propose a resolution ; which naturally sprang out of those that had gone before, and the principle of which had been recog-: nised in the resolution just read. He would propose that an annual sum of 2004 be paid to the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, and of 1.50/. to each of the other Directors. This would be acting on the example of the West India, as well as of the London Dock Company. He entirely agreed with an Hon. Gentleman who had preceded him, that they could not suffiCiently reward the Directors, but still they could act on the principle of quantum possumtts ; and that Hon. Gentleman would besides agree with him, that there was nothing in the resolution which he was about to move, to restrain the Company from hereafter adding to the amount, if circumstances called for it. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the resolution. J. C ATTLEY , Esq., seconded the reso l ut i on. --- MILLS, Esq. did not rise to oppose the mo tion as to the sum to be given to those who per formed the duties of Directors. It had been alleged by the gentleman who proposed s the m o ti on , as a reason for agr ee i ng to i t , t h a t a similar course had been adopted by other Companies. He, Mr. Mills, was aware of the fact, and he believed that the prac tice had been found inconvenient in many inst ances . He could, without naming any particular institution, state, that persons belonging to them, and having a sum affixed to their names, were frequently, in con sequence of infirmity, and various other causes, pre vented from attending to their duties. He therefore thought it would be better to leave the mode of ap propriating the money to the Court itself. He did not oppose the amount named. On the contrary, if the Company had business, and it was proposed to increase the sum, he for one would most eheerfully give the motion his support. But he thought it would be more advisable to vote the gross sum, leaving its appropriation to the Directors, who must be better judges of the duties done by each than the Proprietors could possibly be. PASCOE GRENFELL, Etq. was of opinion that such a proceeding as that just recommended would have an invidious appearance. It was calculated to excite unpleasant feelings amongst men who were iu the habit of associating together, and might lead to ill effects,--- Mr. 11111.1.. s denied that he meant any thing in vidious by the proposition which he had made. Mr. GRENFELL—I do not say that the Hon. Gentleman meant any thing of the kind ; but I ask him, is not his proposition likely to produce the effect which I have stated ? J. CATTLEY, Esq. said, the suggestion of the Hon. Proprietor was talked over when the resolutions were discussed, and it was abandoned, because it was believed that the Directors would establish a sys tem of fines amongst themselves that would lead to the same practical result as the Hon. Proprietor had in view. It might happen, from various circum 'stances, that a few would have to do the work : but if a system of fines 4% , ere acted on, it would have the effect which the Hon. Proprietor argued in favour of. Mr. MILLS observed, that if his suggestion had done nothing else, it had drawn out an important explanation. It must be very satisfactory to the meeting to know that the Directors had adopted, amongst themselves, an effective mode for carrying on the business of the concern. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. POYNDER said, that in his opinion such ser vices as those. performed by the Directors deserved something more than thanks. The Hon. Proprietor concluded by submitting a motion to the meeting, proposing, as we understood, an additional remune ration to .the Court of Directors, whenever the east dock should he finished. Mr. WILSON seconded the motion. - . Mr. GRENFELL conceived that this new-resolu tion would interfere with those that had already been passed. Mr. WEEDING objected to the motion, as having a prospective operation. Mr. POYNDER briefly defended the justice and propriety of his motion. It might be considered inconsistent in him that he appeared to-day with a new resolution, he having attended the meeting where the resolutions just passed were framed, without making such a proposition. Those resolu tions had his hearty concurrence; but since that meeting he thought the Proprietors would not be doing their duty, when they agreed to the great merits of the Directors, if they confined themselves to those propositions. If his motion was likely to interfere with the other resolutions, he would not press it. The CHAIRMAN concurred in every compliment to the Directors, and rose merely to a point of form, — namely, whether that meetiog could give a pledge for the future ? (Hear.) Mr. WEEDING —Suppose when the docks were completed, that they were found not to answer, and that we could not in consequence fulfil this pledge, would we•not be looked upon as imprudent men, who had promised what we could not perform ? The motion was then withdrawn by Mr. Poynder. R. C. BAZETT, Esq., wished, before the meeting broke up, to call the attention of the Proprietors to the gentleman (Mr. Hall, the Secretary) who sat on the right of the Chairman. He hoped they would not leave the room without thanking that gentleman for the perseverance, the zeal, and the ability, which he had manifested in conducting their affairs.-- (Hear.) As a man of business, his services were invaluable. (Hear.) Mr. GRENFELL seconded the motion,. which - ‘s , carried unanimously. • Mr. HALL returned thanks. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. LY.) rate, an d o f ces of IV" It parCe l4 Beans 0 .

DEATH OF TILE EARL OF LIVERPOOL, (nom the Morning Chronicle.) This amiable Nobleman, who so long filled a con spicuous place in the Government:of this country, ; departed this life yesterday morning. The ciretnn , stances relating to his death will be found in the Court Circular. Robert Bankes Jenkinson, Earl of Liverpool, was born on the 17th June, 1769. His father, whose work on the coin is well known to political econo mists, had made his Iray, by ability for the details of office, from comparative obscurity to the wealth and rank of which he died in possession. The late Lord entered on life under mere favourable auspices. After quitting Oxford, where he was distinguished among his associates (of whom the late Mr. Canning was one), rather for assiduous attention to his studies than for those showy qualities which gain for young men a premature reputation for talent, that often leas them to neglect the surest means of success—la borious industry—he visited the Continent, and was in Paris a t that interesting period when the Bastile was destroyed. On his return to England, he en tered Parliament in 1791, and made his maiden speech on the debate on Mr. Whitbread's motion respecting the armament against Russia. This speech was considered one of the most successful efforts ever made by a speaker at the commence ment of his career, and it was said by an opponent, Mr. (now Earl) Grey, whose praise was the more valuable that it was never lavishly bestowed, that " the Honourable Gentleman had delivered his sen timents with such eloquence of manner and correct ness of expression, that if a stranger had come into that house to hear him, be would not have readily supposed it was the first time of his speaking." The speech indeed has none of the characteristics of youth, none of the ambitious display which is al most universal at that period of life. It con tains many notions which would not be received in the present day, though, at the time, they were seldom questioned. It was necessary, at that time, to oppose Russian aggression, on what would appear now a singular ground. "It was necessary," said his Lordship, " to support Turkey, as a check upon Austria; for as long as the Porte maintained its consequence, so long would Prussia be to us an eligible ally. France, when she considered Austria as her rival, had ever deemed it politic to preserve an alliance with Turkey,, well knowing that the Ot toman Power would operate as a check on her rival, and tend to controul her conduct. When, there fore, Austria was allied with France, Turkey imme diately became our natural Ally." Balancing was a nice business in those days ! We have some notions too about the balance of trade with Russia, which did not betray the most enlightened views in com mercial affairs. What he said, however, about France, was characterized by a moderation highly creditable to so young a Statesman. " lie declared he would very readily admit that France was not now in a situation to occasion any alarm ; he would readily admit that she was at present in the most distracted situation; but was it likely, he asked, that she would long continue in such a state? was it not more probable that she would shortly be in possession of a settled and effective Government ? Possibly her ancient arbitrary Government might be restored ; and, in that case, she would once more be a powerful rival, and we should again have occasion to dread those intrigues which had ever been attached to its Cabi net, and which had hardly ever suffered Europe to remain in peace. Perhaps she would obtain a mo derated and free Government, and then, though less fear might be apprehended from intrigue, more would be.to be dreaded from her power; and her rivalship would be still more formidable than ever it hadbeen. France, blessed with almost every advantage that nature and circumstances could bestow, wanted but a well-constituted and well-regulated Government to make her rise again with redoubled splendour, and again prove the terror of her neighbours, and excite the wonder and admiration of the world. During the unhappy dissensions of that unfortunate country, the spirit of forbearance by which our .Ministry had been governed deserved the highest praise. This in dication of generosity and friendship might tend to subvert the ancient jealousies of the two countries, and produce an alliance of a permanent nature, greatly 'to the advantage of both." . So much for the first Parliamentary effort of his Lordship. His Lordship was appointed one of the Commis sioners. for the affairs of India in 1793. In 1794, he received the Commission of Commander of the Cinque Ports Cavalry. In 1796, he was appointed Master of the Mint, made a Privy Councillor, and named one of the Commissioners for Trade and Plantations. On the change of Ministry, in 1801, he succeeded Lord Grenville as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; and when Mr. Pitt returned to office, in 1804, on the renewal of the war, he quitted the Foreign for the Home Office. When Mr. Pitt died, in 1806, Lord Liverpool, then Lord Hawkesbury, attempted to perform a much more prominent part than he bad hitherto done on the political stage; but the public, at that time, by no means seconded his wish to remain at the helm of affairs, and a new Ministry was demanded. When the Whigs quitted Office, Lord Liverpool again took a place in the Percival Administration. On the death of Mr. Percival he became First Lord of the Treasury, and he continued Premier till the termination of his political career. As a politician, his Lordship continued to rise in reputation to the last. He was never supposed to possess talents of the highest order ; and his speeches during the discussion on the Bullion Question—the Orders in Council —the various measures connected with the Bank Restriction and the Return to Cash Payments—the Corn Laws, and commercial affairs in general, indicate great vacillation, and the posses sion deny thing rather than connected views. With respect to foreign politics, he ranked still lower. He does not seem to have properly appreciated the cir cumstances which led to the Peace of Amiens; and at a period when he possessed more power of in fluencing Europe, he miscalculated still more grossly. We allude to the various political movements in the two Peninsulas, which have terminated so unfortu nately for the nations in which they took place. At that time the countenance, or even the neutrality, of Great Britain would have been of incalculable benefit to the cause of regeneration. But it is well known that the British Government looked with the same disfavour on the exertions of the Spanish and Italian Patriots, as that with which it viewed the efforts of the FrenehConstitutionalists of 1789. We are far from wishing to contend that Great Britain should embark in quarrels not properly her own, from a mere abstract love for the cause of good government. But a pow erful nation like Great Britain can easily make itself felt without either drawing the sword, or exposing itself to the hazard of doing so. The moral effect on the struggling patriots of the countenance of Great ,Britain, would have been very great. Be sides, France at that time would have dreaded to expose herself to the displeasure of Great Britain ; and her Government had recourse to ail those dis reputable subterfuges, which betray sufficiently the union of weakness with wickedness. When France was clandestinely fomenting rebellion in Spain, and, tinder the false pretext of a Sanitary Cordon, main taining large armies on the frontier of that unfortu nate country, Lord Liverpool.either believed or dis believed the professions of France; if he believed them, what are we to think of his discernment ? If be disbelieved them, what arc we to think of his want of ability to perceive the proper course for England to pursue ? Without for one moment compromising the safety or the interests of the country, Lard Liverpool could have deterred France from the prosecution of her machinations. With Italy in so precarious a state, Austria must also have been quiescent. If war is to be viewed as the greatest calamity that can beful nations, and if nations, so far faint having an interest in making war on each other. have, on the contrary, the greatest interest in pro moting each other's prosperity, the prosperity of one always re-acting on another, the more we popu-i arise Governments, and render their movements de pen,lent on the general will, the more we diminish the chances of war. Where a Government may be • influenced by a mistres , , as France Was more than once during the last century, a bon mot may lead to war. Madame Pompadour inflicted on France the disgrace of Risbach, because Frederick of Prussia spoke slightingly of her in some couplets. When Governments must take counsel of their respective nations, these contingencies are no longer to be dreaded. Nations may, no doubt, mistake their interests, and the prejudices of the whole or part of a people may sometimes be appealed to with success. Still it is merit to reduce the causes of war to mistaken views of interest; for, with every improvement in the modes of thinking, the chances must diminish. England, the greatest com mercial nation in the world, had, therefore, a de cided interest in promoting the cause of reform, and thereby placing the improvement of nations on a secure foundation. But England looked with an evil eye ors every attempt at amelioration abroad.— The Ministerial Newspapers are not to be taken as a certain criterion, on all points, of th e f ee li ngs o f a Government. But those Papers may be consulted with safety for the feeling of men in office in general, on questions which agitate the world. Now, at the time in question, the English Ministerial Newspa pers seemed to sympathize with every existing abuse throughout the world. Every Ecclesiastical reform in Portugal and Spain, which had for olsject to rescue the people from the worst Popish supersti tions, was made a subject of bitter reproach to the Peninsular Governments. Nay, we remember when ' the Courier spoke with tenderness of the Institution as an ancient Institution (these were the words), which ought not to be touched rashly. We can never be persuaded that the English Government was not actuated at that time by a spirit of hostility to all that was liberal throughout Europe. A new spirit seemed to actuate it when Mr. Can ning became the ally of Lord Liverpool. Mr. Peel, indeed, after that time, justified the invasion of Naples by Austria; and Mr. Canning %, as forced, in deference to the Tories, to profess himself a fol lower of the politics of Lord Londonderry. But the world were not deceived, either 'by the former professions of the Emglish Government or their then professions. Suddenly a spirit of conciliation pervaded the Councils of the Government. Fac tion ceased, the Ministers were supported and ap plauded in many, if not most of their measures, by the Opposition of Parliament, and by the Opposi tion Journals. A disposition to defer to the opi nions of the wisest and best men throughout the country was manifest to all. it may be inferred from this, that Lord Liver pool, with all his official ability and talents for busi ness, was what is called a secondary character; that he gave way to others of a more determined stamp. During the time of Lord Londonderry the Govern ment was actuated by a spirit the opposite of that it afterwards manifested; from which it would seem to follow that that spirit was not Lord Liverpool's. The difficulties with which Mr. Canning had afterwards to struggle do not disprove this inference, because Lord Liverpool might possess talents for conciliation which kept down the jealousies that afterwards broke out, when Mr. Canning was forced to take the first station. There was, too, the pres tige of old possession, in favour of the submission to Mr. Canning, while he acted under Lord Liver pool. Lord Liverpool was fond of domestic life, and we believe greatly beloved by his friends. His cha racter stood always high in the country. He exerted himself much to promote the efficiency of the Church Establishment by the judicious distribution of pa- tronage. He was a patron of Bible Societies, con sequently inclined to Evangelical principles. The death of his first wife, and his subsequent marriage, are fresh in the general recollection. On the whole, Lord Liverpool, whatever his de fects, is one of those names which will appear with advantage in the page of history. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

A letter was read in the AssQc:ation, yesterdav, by Mr. O'Connell, from Lord Viscount Duncannon, which stated that a Bill will be brought in, in the ensilin g Sessions, for conditional emancipation. Mr. O'Connell has expressed himself in strong terms on • this subject, and has anticipated the Ministry, by giving notice that he will, at the Aggregate Meeting, move for a petition from the Catholics of Ireland against any Bill of such a diameter.

No proclamation has been issued; no reward for the apprehension of the murderers ; applications have been made to the Marquis of Anglesca the subject, and strong affidavits, detailing out rages of the most flagrant description, yet no mea sures have as yet been taken to redress the injured Catholics of the North.
