LBY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII.I By the arrival at Southampton of the mail steamer Tay, we are in possession of dates from Jamaica to Jan. 7. It was asserted in Jamaica that another prorogation was inevitable, and that it would be announced shortly before the re-assembling of the house. Another rumour was, that the house would be prorogued at no distant pe riod after its re-assembling, and that a resolution to receive the ordinary revenue unconditionally to the end of the year would be managed. This is to be done in the absence of the county members. The planters of Demerara are recommended to allow their properties to go under sequestration. From Barbadoeswe learn that ten and great numbers of men belonging to the 66th and 73rd Regi ments had died there of fever. Maracaibo and destroyed the fleet of Paez LONDON MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY The funds have been flat this morning, and prices were in decline, when a leading broker, known to act usually for the Scotch and some West-end banks, made a purchase of .e 100,600 in Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, the price not stated ; and another broker took a considerable amount of Reduced Threes, also as believed for banking account. These operations arrested the tendency towards a further fall in prices, without, however, improving them otherwise. We quote Consols 91i to both for time and money, which, as will be seen, are lower than the quotations of Saturday.

Surely it is quite as rational to suppose that the great choice of houses here at a greatly reduced rent, together with the increasing rates of Liverpool, and perhaps an idea of greater security, should the cholera visit Liverpool in the s; ring, have unitedly exercised a much greater influence in determining those parties who have come to reside here of late. The figures in the Journal appear to have been selected to suit the opinions of the writer ; but the ac count is exceedingly confused, whilst the estimate of the revenue for 1849 is arrived at by a process glaringly unfair. In support of the charge of confusion I will quote a portion as follows :—" We give in a tabular form the comparative monthly receipts for the years 1847 and 1848," arter which follow the 12 months in each year, with the comparative amounts placed opposite to each. Now, surely twelve months (commencing Jct. - wary and ending December) make a year. Therefore, by add ing the receipts for the twelve months of 1847 together, finding the sim total to be £14,721 17s. 3d.. you would naturally conclude that was the revenue cf 1847. Nothing of the sort : the writer in the Journal estimates the pro bable amount of revenue of 1849, and takes that of 1847 as a basis, in that calculation the amount is stated to be not £14,721 17s, 3d., but as follows :—" Revenue for 1847, was £20,399 13s. 10d.," and there is nothing in the account itself that will explain this great discrepancy ! Are we, then, only presented with a partial view of the accounts? If so, why? Such a proceeding invalidates every estimate that is formed through such a medium. I prove the unfairness in which the estimates are taken in this way, In the tabular statement of comparative receipts. There is a great and unaccountable increase in December, 1848, over November, a thing which the ac count says has never happened before, and which it is rather bold to ascribe to the reduction of the fare to Id., because it is out of proportion with all the previous months since the reduction was made ; in fact, there is a gradual diminution in every other month since the sum mer. Supposing that there is no mistake in the matter, and that there really was an increase in December, that month's receipt. when taken along with the preceding months since the reduction of the fare, for the purpose of comparing with the same number of months in the *evious year, ought to have its due weight. But it a , It IS not honest to single out one particular month, in two dif ferent cases, in one of which it is actually made the basis upon which the whole year's estimates for 1849 are calcu lated. if either of the preceding months had been taken the calculation would have amounted to about £3,000 less, so much for the unfairness of the estimates. I would ask the writer in the Journal, if, in his estimate of the pro bable receipts and expenditure for 1849, he has taken into account a small " leakage" at Monk's Ferry. Is he aware that just before twelve o'clock in the evening preceding the election of commissioners, in June 1847, a deputation of two of our commissioners met a deputation of the rail .. way directors, at which an agreement was signed binding the township to ferry across the river, by their boats, the goods and passengers of the railway company, at such prices that the Monk's Ferry will be a dead loss to the township of £2OOO a-year in consequence? Poor Birkenhead ! She was a good ship once; vide the speeches at the banquet given when the first stone of her docks was laid ; but she has been badly sailed ; and after making all due allowance for events which have occurred, and which the wisest men could not forsee, it is plain that, in too many instances, the men at her helm have had pur suits and interests at variance with her interest, against whose solicitations their virtue has not been proof. Surely the past will operate as a warning for the future.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully, Birkenhead, Feb. sth, 1849. A RATEPAYER. EXCHANGE NEWS-ROOM TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Few people will take the trouble of endeavouring to remedy an anncyance, however irritating that annoy ance may be—hence grievances remain unredressed until they become too vexatious to be longer borne in silence. T allude to the perpetual noise in the Exchange-room, arising from the perpetual slamming, or banging, of the doors, for it is difficult to find more expressive or appro priate terms, though certainly this is not very elegant phraseology. As this violent banging of doors occurs per petually through every minute of the day, accompanied by a most intolerable noise, the comfort of the subscribers ought certainly to be consulted by some remedy—and this - remedy seems simple and easy; for, as I have seen in )7 so- it is merely /me papers, it is merely necessary to have double doors, as they have at the Corn Exchange and the Custom house, and the evil would be cured.• T here are other ar rangements which ought to be made to render the room more comfortable, but this one grievance ought to be re formed instanter. A. F. R. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. MONDAY EVENING Without doubt, whatever may 6eii;;Overreacilingsor shortcomings of our present legislators, we are now fairly drifting in a tide of prosperity. Certainly much will be achieved, although, had our energies been wisely directed, more might have been accomplished. Meanwhile the indefatigable industry of the British producer is over coming all obstacles, and American advices bring the gra tifying information that on that continent our manufac tures are meeting with a better market. On Saturday Consols for money closed at 911- showing a reduction of only k on the week, despite the unfavourable character of much of the continental intelligence; for the next ac count the last quotation was 911 to i. Our SHARE market has been steady all week, prices re maining at the slight decline we noticed in our last. London stock is TO-DAY 1361 @ 81, Midland 94 5 ,having been at the highest point this year on Saturday week -138 40, 99 100. There has been, however, a considerable amount of good buying each day, and a reaction in prices has been prevented only by the dealers in London making the most of the unsettled state of Paris, and the blow our own Government received by their small majority on Lord Stanley's motion, to lay in for themselves a good stock of securities, well knowing that the rise must come, and soon. We think we see a large speculative business sp) lining up in the small shares of the old lines, it being pretty surely ascertained that where interest is paid in calls—higher than the current rate of the day—calls will cease; we mean such shares as Midland half-shares gua ranteed 5 per cent. till paid up. Mr. Hudson being able to borrow at 41, has stated it to be his intention to call no more on these, and also Newcastle and Berwick preference gua ranteed 6 per cent. On these the secretary,in reply to an in quity made this week, has stated it is not intended to make any further call • in all shares of this description, a tt ac h e d to a respectable line, large purchases have been and are being made on speculation by the knowing ones, and we may consequently expect to see them- -not being clogged with the prospect of calls—pushed to a price far beyond t'ieir value. The calls of February are about one million and a half. We give a list of the approaching meetings : Chester and Birkenhead .. 10th Feb..... at Birkenhead.

Many parties were in hopes that something would have been said in the Queen's speech about the reduction of the duty on Tea; but as no allusion was made, we have had a quiet market since; prices, however, are firm, Coffee is also dull. There is still a very good demand for Sugar, and some inquiry on speculation. 2000 bags of Khaur Lave been sold To - DAY at 32/; 33/6 has been re fused for something rather better. The prices of Molasses are firm, and if anything rather higher. Rice is in very good inquiry, and the market is well supported ; fine qua lities are scarce, and higher prices demanded. No change in Rum. There is not much doing in Saltpetre; but 50 tons of Nitrate were sold to-day at 11/ off the quay. Except for fine TRISH Butter, which nearly maintains previous prices, the market is dull, and holders of mid dling descriptions are eager to sell at a reduction. Com mon Sligos have been disposed of at 60/. New Bacon sells TO-DAY at 48/ @ 50/. Fine Leg Lard 40/ @ 42/. The demand for AMERICAN Lard has improved, and 1/ @ 1/6 v- cwt. advance has been obtained. Holders of new Bacon are firm, and operations have been limited : 43/ ® 44/ has been paid for a very choice article. New Hams, of ordinary quality, have realised 45/ v• cwt. Cheese maintains its price. The tendency of Canadian Butter is rather lower. The sales of Beef for the week ending Friday were 400 @ 500 tierces, at 80/ @ 85/ I) , tce. Pork has sold freely, at an advance of 2/ on the lower sorts. _ _ _ There has been a very good inquiry for CmTON TO-DAY, with a firmer market, and the sales amounted to 10.000 bales, 4000 of which were on speculation. The intelli gence by the steamer is of a nature calculated to raise prices; but as the Manchester people have not had time to get down since its arrival, the effect has not yet been felt here, nor will be, probably, until Wednesday ; but the general impression is that prices will be higher. The receipts at the American ports were only 70,000 bales, against 125,000 the previous week ; and the shipments for the week ending the 17th of January were only 21,600. which is very little at this period of the season. In addi tion to this, the market had risen ic., and the estimates had been reduced to 2,400,000 bales. We refer parties immediately interested in the consumption of this article to an excellent letter signed " Hindoo ," which will be found elsewhere.,. The demand for Wool. continues lively, and prices improve. TO-DAY holders were asking 2d. '9 lb advance for Alpaca, but we did not hear of any sales at that en hancement. . _ - In consequence of the rise in the value of Indian CORN in Ireland, several buyers from that country made their appearance in Brunswick-street TO-DAY, and the in creased demand resulting has sent th e pr i ca o f t h at article 6d. @ 11-p qr. in advance of F r id ay ' s rates. O ther arti cles remain firm at that day's quotations. We give the Saturday : Wheat, Arrivals B d a u r ri lg 7 t 9 h 9 e q fi r l s r .. e ; ditlalalt,s el sl l 7 in q g rs. ; Oats, 2085 qrs. ; Beans, 1856 qrs.; Pease, 2 qrs.; Indian Corn, 10,462 qrs. ; In , 9166 loads ; Flour, 1348 s d a i c a k n s C , o 2 7 6 l 3 A b le r a i k 500 b_rls_. ; Oatmeal Exports :—Wheat, 1307 qrs. ; Oats, 7 qrs.; Beans, 100 qrs California Pease, 5 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 11,566 qrs. ; Indian Corn Meal, 594 brls.; Flour, 188 sacks, 2907 brls. Both the English and Irish markets are rather on the advance, though in some cases we find parties are playing a cautious game. A letter from Cork, dated Feb. 3rd, from Messrs. J. and J. Morton, states that " the trans actions in Foreign Wheat, since its release under the new law, have been unimportant, neither sellers nor buyers having made up their minds as to the times value; we, therefore, look for nothing material for a few days." The Scotch Pig IRON market has been rather dull this week, and the demand has been more limited. We have sellers at 51/ ® 52/, buyers at 50/; sellers at 49/ @ 49/6 cash mixed numbers, and at 48/ @ 49/ for No. 3. Bar Iron has been sold at £5 7/6 f.o.b. at Wales, and the price appears to have an upward tendency.—The business transacted during the week in the Mining Share market has been unusually good, especially in dividend-paying mines ; and an active inquiry continues to be maintained for shares in the leading companies. The mercantile advises from Vienna mention a decline of between one and two per cent. in the funds, in conse quence of increasing fears of a new war in Italy. A memorial has been addressed by the Prussian Com mittee of Spanish Bondholders at Berlin to the Assembly at Frankfort, seeking for their co-operation in sending an agent to Madrid for the purpose of negotiating a settle ment of tha debt. LATEST FROM THE UNITED STATES ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. The royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Leitch, arrived in the Mersey on Sunday, with advices from New York to the 23rd ultimo. She left Boston on the 24th and Halifax on the 26th ultimo. She has performed the passage from Boston, including the stoppage at Halifax, in eleven days. The enthUsiasm about the gold in California is still in creasing, and the accounts are more exciting than ever. At New York no fewer than fifty vessels were loading for California.. There seems to be now no doubt that quick silver is found in the country in great abundance—a fact equal in importance to the extraordinary discovery in gold. F. Jerome the celebrated seaman of the New World has Much excitement was occasioned of Stock Exchange by the publication of the letter from California, which we insert elsewhere. The Herald, al luding to other private accounts, says that they have re ceived a confidential letter, which " contains intelligence so astounding that they forbear to publish it, lest they should be only langhed at." There had been no arrival at Panama direct from San Francisco, and there had, therefore, been no opportunity to make shipments to any American Atlantic port. As soon, however, as the line of steamers on the Pacific commence running, the gold, it is said, will come along fast enough to satisfy the most vora cious. The fact that pieces of pure gold, 22 and 24 carats fine, weighing 161b5., have been fdund, seems beyond belief, but there seems little doubt of it. The gold is re presented as becoming daily more plentiful, and the dig gers find lumps weighing from three to sixteen pounds. The Indians, in their love of spirits, freely give an ounce of gold for a single glass. There are other accounts still more flattering, authenti- cated by, officers of the United States navy much sickness, but very few deaths, at the diggings. The following is an extract from a letter from Thomas Larkin, Esq., late consul of the United States, and dated Monterey, November 16, 1848:—•' I have had in my hands several pieces of gold, about 23 carats fine, weigh ing from oriel() two pounds, and have it from good au thority that pieces have been found weighing 16 pounds. Indeed, 1 have heard of one specimen that weighed 25 lbs. Taere are many men in the place who, in June last, had not one hundred dollars, tow in to twenty thousand dollars, which they made by digging gold and trading with the Indians. Several, I believe, have made more. A common calico shirt, or even a silver dollar, has been taken by an Indian for gold, without re ..ard to size ; and - 'f .say £8 to Half to one ounce of gold—. now considered the price of a shirt, while from three to ten ounces is the price of a blanket. One hun dred dollars a day, for several days in succession, was and is considered a common remuneration for the labour of a gold-digger, though a few work over a month at a time, as the fatigue is very great. From July to October one half of the gold-hunters have been afflicted either with the ague and fever, or the intermittent fever, and twenty days absence from the placer during those months is necessary to escape these diseases. There have not, however, been many fatal cases. The gold is now sold, from the smallest imaginary piece in size, to pieces of one pound in weight, at $l6 per troy-ounce, for all the purposes of commerce; but those who are under the necessity of raising coin to pay duties to the government, are oblige,' to accept from 4310 to .611 per ounce." _ The accounts fram Mexico continue to exhibit features of turbulence and demoralisation, unchecked by an inca pable government, In Durango, Guanajuato, Guadal spara, and Aquai Calietas, the work of plunder and assas sination was carried on to a very great extent. The Con gress was to assemble on the 13th ultimo, but a quorum was not expected. The government was devoid of funds. The articles of agreement for the construction of a rail road across the Isthmus of Panama had been signed. A grant of £'250,000 a year, for twenty years, to Messrs. Aspinwall, Stephens, and Chauncey, the contracting par ties, was recommended. It is proposed to complete the line in three years. There are several more matters of importance alluded to in the papers by this arrival, to which we have referred with prominence in other parts of our present publication. NEW YORK, MONDAY, Jan. 22, 6 p.m. There was a general disposition prevalent among . dealers in produce to wait the arrival of th e s t eam - s hi n Tlintpd gtntne now uue at trns port, with about eight or ten days later news: Flour was dull, and sales quite moderate for home use, atabout the closing rates of Saturday. There were no transactions in Wheat. Some lots of Western were offering, without finding buyers at the rates demanded. Corn was dull, and sales con fined to a lot of old yellow and to parcels of Southern white, without material change in prices. There was no change in meal. Rye was nominal. Provisions exhibited no material change since Saturday. Western pork, at the late decline, as sumed greater steadiness, but sales were light. Beef continued in fair demand. Lard continued quiet. There was no change worthy of notice in provisions. Sales of cotton were made to a fair extent, without material change in prices. ASHES.—SmaII sales of pearls were reported at .88, and of pots at 41'6 87/ to S'7.

The letters by this conveyance, as also the annual Cotton Circulars, which were received next day, appearing to be uniformly written with a glow of confidence on a decided advance there, provided the popular estimates of our crop can be kept at or under 2,500,000 bales, and as that is, in the opinion of caveul observers, the probable extent of it, (in which, however, I do not coincide, being inclined to favour 2,600,000 bales, equal in average weight to the last crop, notwithstanding the great increase of bales will be found in the Atlantic section,) the market continued strong, and sales to the extent of 1,000 bales without change in rates. On Wednesday, the business was quite limited, and the market felt sensibly the heavy arm ivals, amounting to 30•,000 bales since Saturday morning. On Thursday, buyers for export having a wide choice of samples, 2,000 bales were sold at the previous decline—as several tare lists were still on the market unsold, the inducements to buyers were increased the next day, and the transactions amounted to 4,000 bales, the market recover ing one half of the previous decline later in the day. On Satur day, the tables were comparatively clear of cotton, and the market was strong at the closing prices of the preceding day, et which 1,500 bales were disposed of.

THE CALIFORNIAN GOLD REGIONS.-LATEST NEWS PER MAIL STEAMER, The news from these regions, and from the whole of the United States, present a picture which we venture to say the world never looked on before ; wilder, indeed, than the wildest dreams of romance. The dates come to the 16th of November, from Monterey, some weeks later than any previously received and made public ; and the accounts are mostly from official sources. Their general tenor pourtrays a state of things even more flattering than those received previously, too highly coloured al they were generally thought to be. It is now proved that the extent of the gold region on the San Joachim and Sacramento rivers extends a distance of 800 mil e s in length, by 100 in width, and contains not only gold, but quicksilver and other minerals of incalculable quantity. Even a small population, by well-directed working, could, it is estimated, export 100 million s o f d o ll ars an nually ; hut an additional population, such as it seems likely that a couple of years will draw to the locality, would easily triple that amount. The effect of such an inundation upon the value of the precious metals through out the world, and upon the condition of those countries who have adopted those precious metals as the regulator and standard of their currency, 'it is difficult to predict. At the date of the late advises from the United States their passage, many now be able to leave Panama teamer." - it was said that the excitement on the subject was dee:urg ing. By the present we learn that this is far from being the case ; that it pervades the whole Union, and the po palation of the countries alonx the whole seaboard of the Pacific. We have authentic accounts of vessels which were known to have actually sailed from various Atlantic ports from the 7th Dec. last up to the 18th January. this year, carrying to the gold reg i on 3,093 passengers. Of these 2,283 have gone via Cape Horn ; 2 via the San Juan ; 215 via Vera Cruz ; and 519 via Chagres. The numbers preparing to sail it is impossible to ascertain, in addition to which numbers are setting out from the Western States overland. It is worthy of remark, too, that our American brethren are proceeding to the El Dorada in their usual astute business-like manner. The hulk of the ships sailed, or to sail, carry out companies composed ne ping young fellows, fully armed, and wifl implements, stores, &c. the property of the adventurers them. contain the framework of houses, &c. ceed overland are hardy young men, inured to tt or the hunter's life, and banded together for nr tection.

It is the subject of conversation in all quarters ; and as not less than 1200 ladies and gentlemen have been invited, it will be one not only of the largest, but of the most interesting reunions ever held in Liverpool.

With but a few exceptions, the inhabitants are " woolly headed negroes ;" and it was a funny sight to a live New Yorker, on his going on deck the day we ar rived, to see about a dozen canoes surrounding the ship, and the persons in them without anything on larger than the fig leaf that Adam wore, and many of them not with that.

LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY The supply of English Wheat by land-carriage samples from the near counties was but a moderate one, and was for the most part cleared off at an early hour, at an advance of Is . , to 2s. per qr. upon the quotations of last Monday. A si m il ar improvement was realised upon foreign, but the business transacted was not extensive. There was no alteration in the price of town-made Flour, but ship and country marks were rather dearer. Choice malting Barley was saleable at an improvement of Is. per qr.; other sorts unaltered, Good fresh horse corn was the turn dearer, but other descrip tions of Oats were a heavy sale at last week's rates. Beans and Peas fit for seed, were inqu red for, and being scarce, were Is. to 2s. dearer, but there was no advance upon these articles generally. SMITHFIEUP CATTLE MARKET -YESTERDAY We have not quite so many Beasts as on Monday last; the supply is, however, fully adequate to the demand. Trtde is slow, owing to the mildpess of the weather, and late quotations are with difficulty realised. The number of Sheep is again small, but so few are wanted, that it is with great difficult that a little more money is obtained for some — of the choice descriptions, Calves meet with a dull sale, but the supply being short, prices remain about the same. ADELPHI THEATRE.—This theatre was opened for ti e season last evening. The attendance was more numerous than might have been expected, and the performances went off with eclat. As the company has been selected from various quarters, and to each other strangers, we shall refrain from particularising—suffice it, however, to say th t many of them exhibit extreme talent. THEFT OF• MONEY. — Yesterday at the Police-court, a woman named Mary O'Donnell was charged with robbing a woman named Margaret Carlton of eight half-sow - x.o;ns, which she had sewed up in the band of her peticoat. Tl e complainant was in a state of insensibility, from the effects of drinking at the time, and the prisoner carried her to bed, and stripped her of the garment named, on the plea that she would sleep more safely. On the person of the prisoner the officer who apprehended her ound seven new farthings, similar to those which she had put into the band of the peacoat, in lieu of the half-sovereigns. She was committed for trial. THE WILL FOR THE DEED:—On opening the will ef a gentleman who had expended an extremely handsome foe tune, amongst other articles it contained the following : " If I had died possessed of a thousand pounds, I would have left it to my dear friend Mr Thomas B—; but as I have not sixpence, he must accept the will for the deed." The illustration of Punch, last week, was capital, and mcst apropos, namely, Mi. Cobder, in the character of "the schoolmaster at home," addressing to Master Rus- sell, Master Peel, Master Wellington, and the rest, this s4nif.cant warning :—" Mind, young gentlemen, more attention to arithmetic, this half !" CORRESPONDENCE. WOODSIDE FERRY, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—lnthe Liverpool Journal of Jan. 20th is an article which professes to furnish the ratepayers of Birkenhead with a detailed account of the present state and future prospects of Woodside Ferry. The objects of the writer appear to be—first, to prove that the penny fare will pro duce more than the twopenny fare ; and, second, that the reduction of the fare to a penny has induced parties to come over here to reside, thereby increasing the township rates by about £lOOO a-year. It may seem ungracious to look with a suspicious eye upon that statement. merely because it seems to emanate from some party mixed up with the ferry management ; but it is no doubt fresh in the memory of many of your readers, that the Commissioners of Birkenhead have in times past mat forward statements which have subse quently turned out erroneous; for example, in the course of the inquiry made by the Government Surveyors in reference to the Gas and Water Bills promoted by the Commissioners, a written valuation of the township assets was produced, in which it was asserted that the annual profit of the ferry was £ll,OOO, and its value £275,000, being 25 years' purchase. Query :—Can the Commis sioners shew, taking the many years they have have had the ferry, and putting all together, that they have handed over to the credit of the general account, out of the clear profits, a sum equal to what was stated to be one year's profit ? I trow not. The Woodside Ferry, if well managed, at prices that will pay, is about the only remunerative thing which the ratepayers have got for the half-million sterling they have run in debt. But even in prosperous years, and at two penny fares, it has done little if anything more than pay its own way, probably owing to gross mismanagement. The corporation of Liverpool, some time ago, committed the egregious blunder of lowering their fares by their boats, from 2d. to Id. Their plea being that it would pay better at Id. than 2d., a reduction which they pro bably would not have mae had they been proprietors instead of trustees. The result has been ruinous in the extreme, as they too well know. Bad as this policy was. the Woodside ferry committee had no alternative but to be guided by it as required by the laws of competition, and with a similar result, as, I believe, time will show. The Messrs. Willoughby have latterly made a proposition to take Birkenhead ferry again, and raise the price of both their ferries to 2d., provided the commissioners will also raise theirs—now we should be just before we are generous, lam one of a numerous class who believe it cannot pay its way at one penny. Even in the year 1846, when the receipts were more than £20,000 (the fare being 2d.), it did no great things—yet it would require that five millions of persons should pass the gates annually to produce the amount of that year's revenue at one penny each—being at the rate of 15,000 per day ; and this is moreover a very inopportune time to try an experiment, the effects of which, should it not succeed, will be of a serious character, inasmuch as we have no means of sup plying the deficiency, if one arises. This very committee must be "hard up," whilst they cannot afford to pay £3,000 to save £lOOO a-year. For they have allowed the Admiralty to sell their new boat " Wirral' " for £3,000, which a short time since cost £6,400. and have taken it on hire for three years, at £lOOO per year (or £2l per week). This very Ferry Committee must be rather pinched, that they have paid no interest (which is equivalent to rent) for the last eighteen months. The commissioners have power by their acts of parliament to borrow on the ferry property £150,000; the general impression is that they are charge able with interest upon that amount, say £7,500 a year. They have a fleet of nine or ten sail to keep up ; a neces sarily expensive establishment ; an arrear of 11 years' interest ; and yet it appears they imagine they can afford to ferry people across the river, some at ld. ' some at -d., son at Id., and some for nothing. 1 am of opinion that the majority of your readers, who can look beyond their qwn interest, will say that justice to the bondholders and to the ratepayers forbids the attempt as highly impolitic. They are only trustees of the township property, and whilst the public have a right to expect all the accommo dation and convenience which they can consistently afford, they are first and chiefly responsible to the bondholders and ratepayers, that their interests shall not suffer from crude and ill-dijested novelties. The notion that, even if a little is lost to the ferry receipts, the township rates have been increased by an additional number of persons having been induced by the penny fare to come and reside here—is not worth much. To persons residing in good houses, the inducement held out by the reduction must be very small, because, if such persons cross by the ferry &ten, they contract, and then it does not at all affect them, and if they go but seldon the difference in the fare is not material. The class to whom the difference would be material occupy houses which bring in little or nothing
