' propositions of th e deputation, appointed t o draw up and forward the bill, was, that the number of guardians and magis trates was to be equal. This, however, by the suggestion of Mr. Hume, has been altered ; and by the bill as printed, the hands of the rate payers have been strengthened by the proportion being made two-thirds guardians and one-third only magistrates. It is generally thought. however, that the original proposition will be adopted in committee. Not less than one-fifth of the entire number is to constitute a quorum. The board would accordingly consist in this county, there being 24 unions, of 24 guardians and 24 magis trates, or 48 in all, of whom ten would form a in irons. tie (prisoner) then called out,—" Come aft here men !" when Frank Merry, Levi Jenkins, Alfred Brown, and some others came aft, and swore the prisoner should not be put in irons, using also much abusive language. The captain saw from the disposition cf some of the crew that he could not put the man in irons without blood being shed on one side or the other ; and he ordered the refractory off the quar ter-deck, but they and the prisoner refused at first to go. He ordered Alfred Brown to take the wheel, but he would not. The prisoner meantime stood laughing and sneering at witness, who, about an hour atter, ordered him to go aloft and grease the masts, to which he replied " Yes ! and I'll grease you after." Witness then ordered the irons to be brought, when pri soner got up the fore rigging, and, when ordered down, used abusive language, as did Merry, Jenkins, and others.

We have also seen copies of several letters, ad dressed to Messrs. Milner, from parties in Glasgow, whose books and papers have been preserved by means of their safes, during the late conflagration in that city, whilst others have been totally destroyed. Another correspondent says—" Our Milner's safe was attempted to be broken open last night; but, notwithstanding the great and persevering violence with which the robbers have worked at the door and back of the safe (bath of which are beaten in and cut through the outer plates in numerous places), the lock and bolts remained true, and saved the contents." Mr. Owen, before proceeding asked permission to see two of the witnesses, which was of course granted. On his return be said he should not on his own responsibility call any of the witnesses. Mr. Rushton then ordered Merry, Brown, Todd, and two others who had come as witnesses for the prisoner, to be taken into custody, and they were placed at the bar; but the two not named were discharged, as they were not stated in the log-book to have resisted the Captain, but only to have used abusive language. Merry and Brown, In hearing the log read, attempted a defence, but it was THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We have now had for some weeks an almost continuous succession of cold winds, varying chiefly within the north-east quarter of the compass, and the spring has consequently been kept in check, so that with a change, we may almost anticipate summer at a bound. The air during the past week has been rather unusually thin and piercing, night and morn ing, for so advanced a period of the year. In eleva'ed unavailing - Rushton, addressing Forrest, said that he had been brought there on a charge of mutiny, but that charge could not be legally sustained by the evidence, although his conduct had very nearly approached to it. He had certainly been guilty of a gross assault on the captain, who, in the exercise of his duty, would have been justified by law in firing upon him. It was the cap tain's duty to maintain strict subordination, as he was entrusted wiih the safety cf the ship and such valuable property, which were endangered by such di sgrace f ul con duct. The court required that he should pay a fine of £5 or be imprisoned two months, and further to find two sureties in £lO each to keep the peace, or be further im prisoned. The other two must, he said, pay £2 105. each, or be imprisoned for a month. The con. duct, too, of all of them had been such that they had no t only forfeited their characters as faithful seamen, but would lose the whole of their wages for the entire voyage. He (Mr. R.) concluded by saying that he had never known a case in which the master and mates had exhi bited greater forbearance. He ordered a warrant to be taken out for Todd, who was not in the court. ..eed, a little ice has appeared at dawn, and vegetation has been covered with a hoar frost. On Friday morning many parts of the Welsh mountains were covered with snow, and a few flakes fell even in this town. No injury, however, has been done to the crops, nothing being sufficiently forward to be affected. The field crops, ..specially wheats, look well and healthy, and as the down 'l since the first of January has been below the usual , showers and sunshine are alone wanted to push Jn vegetation at a rapid rate. The moon entered her last quarter on Sunday, and a genial change of atmosphere may now be looked for. The glass has ranged during the past week between fair and change, and yesterday morn ing the thermometer, in the open air, stood at 50 degrees. The easterly winds have retarded the arrival of many ves sels from the westward. The same cause has prevented the tides from rising quite as high as usual in our outward channels and estuary. Yesterday forenoon the wind veered to the N.W., but was still cold. The change in this ciirec tion, however, augurs the approach of a more genial season. Rain began to fall yesterday evening. We regret to hear that the potatoes in Wallasey—which are generally the earliest in the north of England, and on which the market gardeners of the locality depend much for their support— have suffered severely by the cold winds, many of them having been destroyed.

After expressing his opinion that the whole system of rating, general as well as railway property, was defec tive, he stated that his advocacy of the object for which they had met could not be assigned to interested motives, as ho possessed very little railway property, and as far as Childwall was concerned,the desired alteration in the rat ing of that parish would probably he attended with a loss to him. Mr. Holme went on to state that the subject was one that had been exhausted, and consequently little was left for him to remark upon. He alluded to a meet ing held at Birraingham,at which a pamphlet had been read on the subject, and from which he quoted. He alluded to one railway, which in 1848 paid in rates for a single parish the enormous sum of £300,000, during which time there were only two paupers to be maintained ; other instances shewing the disproportionate amount of assess ment on railways were adduced. The statute of Eliza beth assessed neither personalty nor stock-in-trade, but The MAYOR having complied with the motion, said, he since then we have become refined.

The following are a few of the names : the Earl of Sefton, J. Bramley-Moore, Esq., L. Heyworth, Esq., D. Hodgson, Esq., W. Earle, Esq.,Esq., T. Booth, Esq., E. Arnaud, Esq., John Stewart. Esq., C. Lawrence, Esq., and Messrs. Samuel Holme, James Holme, E. J. Mozley, Falcon, Harrison, Harvey, Sidney, Hall, &c., &c. The object which brought these gentlemen together is one rife with interest, not only to this town, but to every town and district in the kingdom, where capital is to be found. It was to take into consideration the propriety of petition ing parliament to amend the laws in respect to the rating of railways. Mr. E. J. MOZLEY moved that the Mayor be called to the chair. wen ought to be taxed, if this system of railway rating was just, for what was done now but taxing the same kind of property consumed in the service of the railway. So far from railways inducing poor-rates, as had been observed before, they brought employment in their train, and the railways of England would be wanting to themselves and the in habitants generally, (for he contended that the public were interested in the question, (if they did not rise up and procure the alteration of the present system.

English jurisprudence strictly guarded against this. If they talked of a beneficial interest in extenua tion, the overseers should be constituted judges, for they were interested in a greater degree than the magistrates. Mr. H. also impugned the Court of Queen's Bench, on the ground that in matters of practical import, such as the one they were discussing, sach men as Mr. Stewart, who had seconded the first resolution, were better able to give an opinion than Lord Denman, notwithstanding the deservedly high character of the latter, as a judge and a lawyer. In speaking of the heavy expenses attending the moving in cases at present, Mr. Holme stated that the law expenses for taking a case to Kirkdale amounted to £5O or £6O, and an appeal carried to the Court of Queen's Bench was £1,500. Mr. Holmes concluded an admirable speech by proposing the resolution which, with others, will be found in another part of our paper. Lord Stan ley's name occurring in it, he desired to add that of Lord Sefton. Mr. J. CROSFTELI seconded the resolution, after which The Earl of SEFTON addressed himself to the meeting in a brief speech, in which he concurred in the justice of the objects of the meeting, and concluded by applying the old motto, " fiat justitia ruat ccelum." The MAYOR read the petition, after which Mr. C.

The burdens were such that the vast capital invested, up to the end of 1848, produced only a return of £3 12s. 4d. per cent. Even the ten lines which were sometimes, as investments, likened to the Californian " diggins," yielded up to the same period a per tentage of not more than £5 2s.

PASSING BASE COIN.—At the Police-court, yesterday, four men, Thomas Barnes, John Dun, Robert Kane, and James Kane, were charged with having uttered several bcco.h.c.lf ...d hoc. chilling, lltr “kykocaretl biliSIG LIM persons were seen together, and that Barnes had uttered a bad half-crown at 'Mr. Simcos', druggist, on the 15th inst., and a bad shilling at a Mr. Day's, a retail beer house. The whole four were followed, and it was found that they or some of them uttered base coin at a beer house kept by one Bradford. Dun also uttered, and on Sunday, when the whole were apprehended, he also threw a bad half-crown over a yard wall, which was afterwards found. The evidence against the two Kanes was not so strong as against the ether two. They wereall committed for trial. 38,555 16,793 58,649 19,491 22,834 33,125 24,367 14,513 13,930 SMUGGLING WHISKY.—At the Police-court yesterday, an Irishwoman, named Margaret M'lntyre, was charged with this offence. A Custom-house officer said that on Sunday afternoon, from information which he had re ceived, he went to the steamer Sea Nymph, from Newry, and there saw the prisoner. Observing her to be bulky, he asked her what she had, when she became very violent. She had a bandage round her neck, and stated that it was her purse. On the officer attempting to see what it was, she got out a bladder of whisky, which she attempted to tear open ; but not succeeding, she bit a piece of the skin out with her teeth, and the whisky flowed out. The offi cer, however, succeeded in saving about half a gallon of the liquor, a sample of which he produced. The prisoner was ordered to pay a fine of 405., or to be imprisoned for two months. FELONIOUSLY ENTERING A DWELLING-HOUSE.—YeS terday, at the Police -court, a young man named James Wright was charged with entering the house of Mr. Dutton, in Beau-street, on Saturday night at eight o'clock, and stealing therefrom several articles. On Saturday night, Mr. Dutton being from home, Mrs. Dutton had occasion also to go out for a short time, and in doing so secured all the doors. On her return she observed a light in one of the rooms, and on entering with other persons, the prisoner, who was within, ran out, but was soon afterwards appreherded. He was seen in the house with a candle. A crowbar or jemmy was found under one of the windows, but it appeared that he had effected an entrance by means of a false key. He had opened threedrawers, and alsoaboxcontaining money, but was disturbed before he found the latter. Upon him were found a gold watch key and a silk apron, which he had taken from the house. He was committed for trial at the sessions. Had the offence been committed after nine o'clock it would have been a burglary. Loss OF THE BARQUE TYNWALD, OF LIVERPOOL, BY FIRE.—We are put in possession of the facts relative to the total destruction of the barque Tynwald, 203 tons, Captain Mills, of Liverpool, in lat. 50 i N, long. 8 31 W, bound to the Cape of Good Hope, with a general cargo. It appears that the ill-fated barque sailed from Liverpool on the 16th of March, and that on the 24th the fire was discovered, and from the rapidity with which the flames spread, and the hold it had on the barque, attempts t , sub' Hartord, where, prior to the existence of a railway, the poor-rate was nine shillings, but now that the railway fur nishes a large proportion of the rates, it is reduced to one shilling and sixpence ; thus railway property has relieved those of burdens to whom they legitimately belonged, at its own cost. Mr. J. STEWART seconded the resolution, and illus trated the case as though a millowner was called upon to show the amount of his profits, from which, after deducting incidental expenditure and rent, he was allowed to appro priate a small per centage—the residue—the larger por tion being demanded for rates. The present system would never be allowed, were the parties involved as in dividuals, instead of in their capacity as constituent parts of a public comnan's ie objected to the mode of assess ment : it:taxed the industry, skill, and trading power s of the ~due it were rendered impossible, and the captain and crew were compelled at once to abandon her to her fate and proeeed to the barque OTerrall, bound to Malta, which ship they reached in safety, at the time steering towards the burning ship, having observed the flames. country. Mr. E. J. MozLEY moved the second resolution. He trusted that it would not be considered for one moment that there was any intention or wish on their parts to escape the demands to which property is necessarily liable ; they had met there to decry a system of unjust taxation. He attributed the evils of the system of which they com plained to the fact of the law which regulated the assess ment having its origin at a period anterior to the existence of railways, and charged the railway commissioners with omissions of duty in not bringing the question before parliament. Mr. Mozley referred to the items adduced by the chairman as making out a strong case for parlia ment. After reading the resolution which had been entrusted to him, Mr. Mozley concluded by repudiating the notion that the movement had been commenced on the ground of the smallness of the returns of railway pro perty; that was a matter of fortune to which, as speculators, they were liable. But the fact was they had found their property yearly decreasing in value, and the annual paro chial assessments increasing, which as ratepayers they naturally were anxious to remedy, and it was with this view they came there. If railway property had been represented in parochial and vestry meetings as it was entitled to be, it would not have been necessary for them to have met there. For instance, in the parish of Kenyon, in which railway property was so heavily taxed, six farmers of that parish possessed more power than the proprietors of the railway property ; it was not to be wondered that they legislated for the relief of themselves. He felt con vinced that if they went before parliament, with a simple statement of their case, they would obtain that redress to which they were so well entitled. Mr. WM. STEWART seconded the resolution, and be- fore it was put from the chair, Mr. SIDNEY rose to make a few remarks relative to what had fallen from previous speakers. With reference to the heavy assessment in the parish of Childwall, three fourths went to the county expenses. He thought Mr. Mozley should have propounded some remedy for the evil, for without a defined object all their meetings would be unavailable. Mr. HALL said a few words condemnatory of the pre sent system of rating, and Mr. MOZLEY, in reply to Mr. Sidney, said it was not his business to propose a remedy ; he had merely to pro pose the resolution entrusted to him, but he doubted not it would be no difficult matter to find a remedy. Mr. S. HoLmEs proposed the third resolution. At ris ing ho said, when he looked around at the wealth, influ. vvlng twaIUUS so renaer assistance. Having taken the captain and crew on board, they proceeded on their course, it being found impossible to near the Tynwald, as at this time she was in a complete blaze, and there was not the least hope of saving anything out of her. It is the captain's opinion that the fire had been generating for a long time, and must have originated in Liverpool; otherwise it could not have broken out so suddenly, not more than 15 to 20 minutes elapsed from the time the smoke was first observed until the vessel was in a complete mass of flames. Nothing was saved except the chrono meter, which the second mate (Mr. Russell), at great risk of suffocation, ran below and secured. GRAND CONCERT ON THE 20TH.--This concert, as ap pears by our advertising columns, is to be given by Miss Emily Grant. and comes off on Friday next at the Con cert Hall, Lord Nelson-street, under very flattering pa tronage, that of the officers of the 46th and 62d Regts., and the consuls representing foreign states at Liverpool. For general novelty, distinguished composers, and their most favourite compositions, nothing can be superior to what appears in the programme, which presents the names of Horsley, Bellini, Guglielmi, Benedict, Mayseder, Do nizetti, Kallawoda, Dibdin, Bishop, T.

We are glad also to perceive that Miss Sara Flower will now have a fair o p portun i ty of displaying her contralto voice, and sing several pieces in which she has given such general satisfaction at the leading concerts in London. Another novelty will be the first appearance at the Con cert Hall of Mr. C. A. Seymour, the distinguished vio linist and leader of all the musical performances in Man chester.
