Ebr Ktberpool TUESDAY 21101ZNW;G, SEPT. 10, 1850. It is difficult to peruse the proceedings of the Council without being, from time to time, impressed with a feeling that there is something faulty, in the mode in which business is conducted in committees; and that, practically, the Council exercises too slight a controlling power over the acts of these bodies. Public opinion, moreover, ought to exer cise some greater degree of influence over the deci sions of a representative body like the Council itself, entrusted as it is with large powers, and dealing with the revenue of a great public estate. TI e proceedings of the committees come upon the ma jority of the Council with too much abruptness ; too little time to enable members, who have not beard the grounds upon which certain conclusions have been arrived at, to weigh their propriety fully before being called upon to sanction them ; and we have thus occasionellJ introduced into the Council the elements of ill feeling, and such incidents as occurred at its two last meetings, upon the subject of the vs etch Committee. Chairmen of committees, and the members themselves, are too apt to regard their conclusions as infallible, and to he huffed at any ebjeetions being urged; and the Council, by too frequently deferring to this feeling, sometimes discover that they must stultify themselves by retracing their steps. It has been suggested that the evils of the pre sent system would be in a great measure removed by the committees being thrown open to reporters for the press. To some extent probably this course would effect good; but unless a mere abstract re port was given it would entail inconvenience and expense upon proprietors of newspapers to which they might not he dispoSed to submit. Besides, the proceedings of many of the committees are ne cessarily of a routine character, carried on too in so conversational a style as to puzzle a reporter to give them intelligibly; and the discussions in some it would he injurious to the public service•to report at all. The check which we should suggest being placed upon committees is, that in all matters not of ordinary detail, the committee should merely report their decisions to the Council, with the grounds and evidence upon which they had come to such decisions ; that copies of such - reports should be open at convenient places and times, to the in spection of the public ; and that confirmation of the proceedings in such cases s'aculd not be allowed to be given until the monthly meeting after their being brought before the Council. Under a systens Of this kind we cannot think that we should have allowed ourselves to be committed to the Pike scheme, for example, so far that we could not turn back without a ruinous sacrifice ; or that the Council would now have been tratnelled with many other matters in which they have rashly interfered beyond their proper province. Public oninion, expressing itself through the columns of the press, might have rescued them from that head long impulsiveness of feeling, to which corporations, like individuals, are but too prone. NYE published, three weeks since, a paragraph from the Newcastle Journal, complaining both of the quantity and quality of the water supplied to that town by the Whittle Dean Company, which furnishes the town with water on precisely the same plan as it is proposed to adcpt atßivington Pike. We stated afterwards that it was alleged that the quantity might be increased by merely enlarging the reservoirs. How far this is the case let the fol '—'ino• from the same paper, published last Satur day', Ue n,. " DLAN 14 It mli vv t.o water the inhabitants of this town by t Company is still in a very impure state, absolutely nati- ISPOC6 to the palate and offensive to the eye, being of a deep muddy brown colour. It is understood the com pany resort largely to the Tyne, and the water is dis pensed without being properly cleansed of its impurities. This is an unfortunate state of things, bat exactly what was anticipated by all not interested in the boasted Whit tle Dcan.Stherne. A Liverpool paper notices the sub ject, which is one of great interest in that town, where a proposal has been made to collect surface water over an acreage for the supply of the inhabitants. It has been stated that the reservoirs at Whittle Dean are not suffi ciently large for the purpose, tut such is not the fact ; they are - calculated to hold eight months consumption of the inhabitants of Newcastle and Gateshead, without receiving into them au additional drop of water during that period. The fact is that the impounded water suffers a continual diminution, which is not compensated by a corresponding influx, and it is quite .evident, therefore, that such a process must come to an end, however capa cious the reservoirs might be. The .compauy, it is under-. stood, are e7ttcnding the sources of supply at Whittle De:m, by making a cutting towards the Pont, and, till that is accomplished, the inhabitants must be content to put up with the nauseous mixture with which they arc at present supplied." • . Verily-, vve have evidence enough here to make us pause a little before casting away our present mode of supply. The London Times, of Thursday last, contained sonic editorial speculations upon the probable fu- tore range of prices of grain in this country, and the condition of the agricultural classes under a system of free imports, which are worthy of exami nation on several accounts. In the first place we have the fact almost conceded that a permanently low price, which we have not hitherto arrived at, may be expected by the farmer ; and, as the con clusion, it is contended that a complete redistribu tion of the soil must take place, equivalent, indeed, to a social revolution. The Operation of the system upon prices the Times asserts, has not yet been fairly tried, owing to the dearth in Ireland, and a deficient harvest in one year, along with continental disturbances and other circumstances which have rendered the period since M 46 exceptional. The year before us, how ever, if the harvest he well got in, promises no such features, and will probably determine the rate upon which the agriculturist must make his arrangements and his contracts with the landowner and the labourer. Extensive fluctuationsi by which the gain of one year will serve to counterbalance the loss of another, can no longer he looked for; and instead, we are to be enabled " at all tines to pur chase the great staple of our food at the same mo derate cost." And our contemporary proceeds to assure us of the following extraordinary fact:— " This cost once ascertained, the- result to the farmer, who is like any other person applying capital to produc tion, will be in no way iidurious. The transition, indeed,' from the present condition to the one to he prodUced by the chance may be attended by some loss and suffering, but this will be only a temporary evil, to which every mnn in trade is equally liable; while the new state of things will be a permanei4 benefit to the farmer, a s well as to every other capitalist." It is difficult to conceive to what school of politi cal economy the writer of this sad trash belongs, or the process by which the farmer is to be benefitted by low prices, although the yield..of his land may be only half an average crop. The profitable result of most other industrial avocations is governed by the law of supply and demand. If a crop of cot ton, of sugar, or any other commodity fails, the loss to the grower is partially recovered in the increased price which he is enabled to demand from the con ' Burner. The British farmer, however, subject to the vicissitudes of seasons, like all "other men who draw their sustenance from the soil, is to he practi cally bound down to a minimum of remuneration in periods of abundance, with the.certainty of posi tive loss on every occasion when the elements -are unfavourable. This minimum of price being ascertained, will, of course, determine the farmer what he can afford to pay to the landowner for the use of the soil, what he can afford to the labourer for his toil, and whe ther he can afford to till the land at all in competi tion with the foreigner. It is quite possible that he may not be able to do this, and at the same time satisfy the demands made upon him by the state and for local_ purposes, without the property-.of the landlords being - wholly or in part confiscated. How far is such confiscation to be permitted to go ? The question is a serious one and must 1)5 answered. The Times, indeed, contemplates no such result occurring; no diminution of cultivation, or dete rioration in the value of prOperty in the soil. How ever prices may be reduced, and whatever new arrangements may have to be made as to rents, &c., he says,— " It by no means follows that a smaller portion of the iation3l capital will be appli‘:(l to agriculture than before. If we take the different branches of our manufactures as examples, we find that low prices have lcd invariably to the discovery of means by which the cost of production is diminished. and that a decrease in the cost has eventu ally led not only to increased production, but an increase in the number of persons employed. And there are many reasons for believing that this same result will take place with respect to nf#riculture ; and we shall probably find that the chief setiFible effect of the late change will he that agricultural erodece generally will be somewhat cheaper, but tlia ray r,urt of capital employed upon agriculture in the United KinQdom will be increased, and that capital so employed will receive the ordinary return as profit. Such, we believe, will be the effect as regards the commodity produced and the capital to employed in producing it. The effect as respects the persons em ploved in agriculture will, however, be of a somewhat different description." The public, unfortunately, are not so sanguine, as the Times with respect to the effect to be. pro duced by an increased employment of capital upon the soil. High farming has not been found ex tremely- profitable thus far; and there is undoubt.- edly a limit beyond which it cannot be advantage ously carried. And, moreover, there is a certainty looking us in the face that it never Will he carried to the extent of attempting to convert the waste and poor soils of this country into productive land whilst there are rich virgin soils to be found in . the world upon the cultivation of which the industry and capital of our farmers can be so much more profitably employed. Besides, we must bear in ct;iwl that the same prices which are conceived likely to tempt farmers in this country to invest more capital in the soil, and to devise improved modes of i cultivation, will operate equally to stimu late the foreigner to new exertions. Already the opening of our markets has raised prices in every grain producing country in the world greatly above their previous level ; and increased cultivation will go on until that level, or one below it, has been reached. Another important change must take place before we shall he enabled to attain the mini mum cost at which the foreigner, or the settler on his virgin soil can supply us. The taxation which the British farmer and labourer have to bear must be lightened, or swept away altogether, and the tastes. the comforts, the diet, and other wants of each must be cut down to the fcreign standard. The Times, indeed, contemplates a change in another direction, and would create a new state of society. Agriculture, he says, must be conducted upon the same system as the mills and manufac tories of Lancashire and Yorkshire ; " Agriculture must become a manufacture, and a farm be Governed very much as a mill now is. The practical result. from which there is now no escape is. that capital employed on the land. to be prnfitable, must be employed in large masses; and the persons who so apply it can no longer be a sort of upper .faria labourers. The farmer, in short, must be a highly-educated man of business, -wielding a large power, employing many skilful labourers, and using in the business of production all the appliances which a constantly improving science discovers. His mind must be open to receive every new discovery. He must not, with the blind presumption of ignorance, turn away from that. which is new because it is new, nor be content to tread in a beaten path because his fathers trod there before him. Agriculture, in fact, will hereafter require men possesEcd of intelligence, of an order superior even to thfA of ac mere manufacturer." Of course, this is the tendency of the whole sys tem of political economy, under which we are at present governed. Everything must be achieved by the operation of " large masses of capital," between the possessors of which and the labourer, toiling for his weekly dole, there must he no mid dle state. The present race of farmers and yeomer, a race which has been for centuries the glory, the ornament, and the safeguard of the land,—must become the serfs and drudges of the capitalist. The iron rule of the mill must be extended over every meadow and every cornfield; and the same bell summon the ditcher anti the ploughman to his daily toil which now calls the poor factory child from its brief sleep of exhaustion. No weekly returning market day ; no joyous old English gatherings at the perioileal fair will be permitted break the dull monotony of the land.. As in the factory we are to see, the Tines informs us, that " no power is lost, no time is lost, every act is per formed with mathematical precision. (!) The thing produced must be the result of tke least possible expense, every calculation must he so nicely made, and the system of production so accurately appor tioned," &c., that the profit can be determined to breadth. Under such a system pigsovill row kick over the of course never ku milking pail. Poor things, it will be mut.l, 1c are ever permitted to breathe the fresh air, for fear of any loss of that valuable product in the estima tion of the Huxtables and Cairds of this enlight ened age—their ammonia! Blight or smut will be unknown ; and the elements and seasons put un der a new and " mathematical" regularity. It is really almost impossible to treat speculations so absurd with anything approaching to gravity. They describe to us, however, a picture of the future social condition of Great Britain under its newly adopted free trade policy. And for whose benefit is this great revolution to be effected At whose dictation is so important a class as the farmers of great Britain to be reduced to the condition of daily labourers ? For what are we thus to pinch and screw, to convert men, endow-L(1 with souls and senses capable of enjoy ment, into automatons—mere machines ? To cheapen calico and woollen goods; to swell the profits of the mi!lowners and the capitalist; to bolster up the success of a policy which already threatens to dismember the empire, and to resolve the entire social fabric into its original elements. One consolation, however, we derive from the con viction that Englishmen are not very likely to be gulled into submission to absurdity so palpable. Tag evidence, taken before the committee ap pointed to inquire into the subject of the accom modation to be provided for the shipbuilding trade of this port, has just been published in a pamphlet. Its substance we gave in the columns of the tandard several weeks ago in a series of articles written whilst the enquiries of the committee were going on. Neither the evidence nor the .report of the committee will furnish much new matter to our readers, although we should recommend to such of them as are interested in the subject—and there are very few who are not deeply interested—a re perusal of the whole, which is now plac d before them in extenso, It is impossible to arisa from the perusal of this report without being convinced that the shipbuilders of our port have been an ill-treated body throughout, not so much, perhaps, by the.present dock com mittee, as by their predecessors, whose mistakes rendered. the course pursued, during recent years, imperative upon them. These mistakes consisted in the appropriation of the river frontage in the centre of the Dock Estate too exclusively ter the increase of dock water space. We perfectly agree, moreover, with Mr. J. Bramley-Moore that the Finance committee of the day committed a grievous blunder in giving up to other than for purposes intimately connected with the shipping interest, such sites as those occupied by the tobacco wafe houses, &c. ; still it cannot be concealed that the shipbuilding and ship-engineering ,trades of the port have been always too little recog'hised; and,we fear, remain so up to the present moment. From whatever cause this neglect, so strange on the part of the merchants of the town, the corpora tion, and the ratepayers, has arisen, it is clear that some prompt Seri must he now made to keep the population engaged in these trades, within the boundaries of the palish, and, if. practicable, within those of the corporate estate. At present there seems, according to the evidence of Mr. Hartley, the engineer of the decks, but one mode of effct ing this. Mtr. Hartley informed the committee, as his opinion, that, "if the timber trade were re moved to the north, the shipb u ildin g t ra d e m i g ht be accommo.:ated on the Harrington Estate." We may add that a portion of them might be located even nearer to the cent to of the town, and the population employed by them remain occupiers of the property of the corporation, an d con t r ib u t ers to the rates of the parish of Liverpool. "If " Mr. Hartley adds, "you take the timber to the south,. you must accommodate the shipbuilding at the north, but not south of the fort." The site thus to be reserved is wanted, we are told, for the large steamers, the rapid erection of which has somewhat marred the prer.lous calculations of the dock com. THE tIVERPOOL STANDARD. mittee. The adoption of a' site beyond the fort would involve the transfer of the population em ployed in shipbuildin,ct &c., without the parlia mentary boundary to Bootle. This fact is well worthy of serious reflection. -- • - - EVERY age and every locality have their own particular hobby or mania; and we, in Liverpool; have not been witholit our share in the general lot. We have had hobbies of various descriptions, all of them expensive—sanatory hobbies and Roscoe club hobbies—and we are now, it would appear, about to mount a Public Library hobby. Ws are to have presented to us the property of the Royal Institu tion, with its library, museum, &c., upon the con dition that we maintain them in complete efficiency for the benefit of the public for ever; and our acceptance of this offer is assumed to he a step which will confer," incalculable benefits" upon our working classes, and advance greatly their moral and. social improvement. At the risk of being pro notinced behind the times, though we by no means deny that very great benefits will accrue from Mr. Picton's measure, we venture to express our scep ticism as to the results anticipated by the advocates of the proceeding. We deny, in the first place, the assumption that any public library, containing books of reference. or standard literature, will he extensively resorted to by the working classes. Manchester possesses, in its Cheetham Hospital, a most valuable library; yet its reading room rarely contains above three or foul individuals, and these are habitues, of the bookworm class. It is true that the hours of attendance are not, adapted for the convenience of the working classes. The same objection, however, does not apply to other classes ; and that they do not avail themselves of the facilities thus afforded them for mental improvement is an unfortunate fact. The taste of the present age is not for stand ard literature. The newsroom is preferred to the library. Light reading attracts the million, whilst really improving and instructive works are neglected. Of course, this perversion of the public taste is no reason why no effort should he made to provide a superior description of mental food for our popula tion. It has something to do, however, with the question of cost. We are about to entail upon ourselves an expenditure of six hundred a year; and it is proper that we should be aware of the fact that we are doing this, at the public cost, to accom modate, almost entirely, classes capable of paying for the reading which they require. On principle, we object to public bodies provid ing what ought to be furnished for the people out of their own resources. If we are to educate gratis, and provide libraries at the public cost, we shall be called next to take upon ourselves the charge of our dispensaries and hospitals. When we do this, however, we trust that it will not be left to any independent body to dictate to the Council, as in the case of our adoption of the Royal Institution, what is efficiency of management. Mr. Picton, and , the other parties to this contract will, if we mistake not, discover before long that, in admitting the proprietors of the institution to the possession of a controlling power in its direction, they have intro duced an element of future.troublc and increase of expenditure. DOCTOR REID AND ST. GEORGE'S HALL. The public will not bear without surprise the announce ment that Doctor Reid is about to be permitted to expe riment upon St. George's Hall, and to introduce his ven tilating crotchets into a building hitherto conceived to be the perfection of architecture and design. For two months we are to have this eminent gentleman quartered upon the corporate purse of Liverpool, trying his hot draughts and cold draughts, devising turre's, &c. On what grounds, we ask, is this found necessary ? Did the ta lented architect of St. George's Hall leave ventilation unprovided for in his design ? Has it been found by ex perience that there is no breathing room in it ? We have never heard of any such discovery ; and are only amazed at the nonchalance with which the Council confirmed this entiagement. What has Dr. Reid ever done to constitute him an in falliUk authority on ventilation ? He has spent no small amount upon experiments at the new Houses of Parlia acent, with what success no one can determine. He has kept _learned judges and honourable members_of ment in a Lapland winter one day, and a tropical summer the next, wit bout ever reaching the happy medium of a temperate climate. Dr. Reid and artificial ventilation are regardi.d as twin bores—no pun is meant; and are as sneictted with very unpleasant ideas of lavish expenditure. Other public' buildings in our town have done without Dr. Reid. Our Town Hall boasts of no ventilating tower. The Philharmonic Hall, thanks.to its able architect, Mr. Cunningham, is perfectly endurable both to breathe and to hear in. Why St. George's Hall, in particular, is to be indented to the Doctor is only to be accounted for on the supposition that its architect did not know his busi ness. One would imagine it just as natural for a man to arrange beforehand how air is to have ingress and egress as how light is to be secured ; and we never hear of a doctor being called in by a builder to determine, after its erection, where the windows of the house ought to be put. ` The postmaster of Walton Breck has resigned his office, in consequence of the renewal of Sunday labour.

BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—An advertisement appears in the London Times, signed by Baron. Goldsmid, calling a meeting of the bondholders in the Birkenhead Docks on Thursday week, for the purpose of electing a trustee of the docks in the place of James Kennedy, Esq., resigned. BODY FOUND.—Last week, as the sloop Vale of Clwyd was on her voyage to this port, a body was seen floating off the Welch coast; it proved to be that of a man, and was taken on board and conveyed to Liverpool.

CRICKET.—A match was played on Saturday at Bootle, between eleven members of the Bootle Club and 14 of the Belvidere Club, which terminated as follows : Belvi dere, Ist innings, 40; 2nd, 41 ; total, 81 : Bootle, Ist in nings, 127: Bootle thus winning in one innings, with 46 runs to spare. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday Morning a man named Thomas Leyland, died in the Southern Hospital, whither he was taken on the 2nd instant. He had been employed to assist in discharging the schooner Margaret, lying in the Queen's Dock. Whilst at work a piece of timber fell upon his leg; he was immediately taken to the hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the limb ; death cnsued however, and the body now awaits the coroner's inquiry. SOCIETY FOIL THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS.—It has been announced that the an nual meeting of this, the oldest of our. Church societies, will be held in the hall of the Collegiate Institution, on Monday evening next. In addition to the fact, that the Lord Bishop of the Diocese is expected to preside on the occasion, we understand that the meeting will be addressed by the Rev. G. W. Pope, one of the most successful of the society's missionaries from Southern India. This gentleman has laboured in the district of Tinnevelly for many years, and the statement which he has made throughout England as to the progress of the Gospel in that most interesting part of India, has been touching and encouraging in the extreme. We need not say how inva luable the testimony of such a witness must be. We trust that our thus noticing the approaching anniversary will not' only serve to remind those of our readers who are in the habit of attending our great religious meetings; but that not a few of those who have hitherto absented them selves from them may he induced on this occasion to hear for themselves what God is doing by his servants for our heathen and colonial fellow-subjects. Since the above was written, we have been gratified to hear that THE LORD BISHOP OF TORONTO has kindly consented to preach for the. Society at ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH cn Sunday morn ing next, and also to address the meeting at the Collegiate on the following evening. BRITISH AID IRISH STEAM COMPANY.—A highly influential niceting of the exporters and importers of Waterford was held on Thursday, at which resolutions were made to support the Thitish and Irish Steam Packet Company, at reasonably remunerative freights, on the Waterford and Liverpool and Waterford and London lines. It was stated that previous to this Company having sent a steamer to Waterford there was very scanty accom modation to Liverpool. for which a higher rate of freight was charged than from any other port in Ireland, and no steam communication to London. Since then ample accommodation has been supplied; and it was put to the good sense of the meeting that they should come forward, determined to support the British and Irish Company who brought about so desirable a state of things, and not fellow the bait held out in another quarter, of a nominal charge to-day, with a view of making this Company abandon those lines for the want of a proper freight, with the scarcely concealed intention of afterwards, by excessive charges, making up for the losses incurred. Several cases of hardship and intolerance, on the part of vdlat ought to have been a native and fosteLing Company, were mentioned by shippers at the meeting, which was explained by the fact of Its having lapsed into the hands of a mere few, who used it, for the purp o se o f p romo ti ng enormous " . personal gain, instead of charging moderate and steady rates, alike productive of advantage to the shareholders, and , to the exporters and importers of goods. The meeting was well attended, and it. was the cordial and unanimous opinion that the proposition made on the'part of the British and Irish Company should be heartily .responded to, namely, that they would perma nently occupy the London and Liverpool lines for the benefit of the Waterford public in general, if they re ceived only that amount of support which would enable them to do so, without loss, as to profit it was considered, under present circumstances, out of the question. After adopting resolutions, in accordance with the above, the meeting separated.— Waterford News. SERIOUS CHARGE OF 'EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK OF £257. A youth of gentlemanly demeanour, named Frederick Oliver RawUpson was brought up at the Police-court, yesterday, charged with having embezzled the large sum of £257 10s., the property of his employers. The pri soner was in the service of Daunt Brothers, iron mer chants, who carry on business in this town and Man chester. lie was attached to the house in this town, in the capacity of clerk, his duty being principally confined to keeping the books. On Thursday last, about five o'clock, Mr. Thomas. Liveslev Plant, the manager of the Liverpool office, re ceived 257 soverehns and a half-sovereign, from Messrs. Focke and Boult, of Rumford-place. He carried the sum to the office, and handed it to Rawlinson to count. He then desired him to deliver it to Mr. Wm. Henry Daunt, when he returned from Manchester that evening, whither he had gone in the early part of the day to transact bu siness. Having t.iveu these instructions, he left the office for the evening. On the following morning, when be came to business, and conferred with Mr. Daunt, he dis covered that the money had not been given to him. This circumstance, together with that of Rawlinson's absence, spoke clearly as to the destination of the money, and communication was made to the police. What followed will be best understood by subjoining the evidence of Sub-inspector Keaves, of the Manchester detective force, which was to the following effect : On receiving information of the robbery, I proceeded to Birmingham, and kept a watch upon the railway station immediately upon my arrival. I found the prisoner outside the gate. On hisperson were £5O in notes, three sovereigns, eight shillings, a gold watch, and two gold rings. I af terwards went with him to a house where he had lodged the preceding night, and in a portmanteau I found 149 sovereigns, with some- articles of apparel which had been purchased by the prisoner in Birmingham. He said all belonged to his master, and he hoped his master would forgive him, as it was his intention to have returned the sum as soon as he had made it up. On first receiving the intimation of the robbery, I went to a house in Hulme (Manchester), in which his mother resided. At first she denied that her son had been there. On searching the house, the sum of £2O was found. She then admitted that he had slept there the night before, and had given her the money. The prisoner also afterwards confirmed this. Since I came to Liverpool, I have recovered £7 Bs. 6d., a portion of £lO paid by the prisoner to the parties with whom he lodged in this town.—The prisoner appeared to be in a state of the utmost despondency. He held his hand to his face during the examination, and, when called on for his defence, said he took the money without pausing to consider the consequences. He was committed for trial. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT. Monday Night. Yesterday was an exceedingly dull day in almost every department in business. Shares seemed to be almost the only exception, and in these there was a somewhat better feeling than has been lately experienced. We hope now that the accounts of the harvest are more satisfactory than was anticipated at one time, that we have yet a prosperous time before us. The state of things in the manufacturing districts during the past week was gloomy, and most articles were depressed. with little demand. Our Share market continues firm, and there is evidently an increasing disposition on the part of the public to make investments in railways. During the past week a large business has been done at improved quotations. York and North Alidland, Leeds, Midlands, and Dovers . have been the stocks most wanted. The market closes very strong this evening, with numerous buyers and very little stock offered. This day's quotations are:—Birmingham and Dudley, 84 pm.; Leeds stock, 424 43; Do. Fifths, 8a 6/3 4 dip. ; Do. pref., 124 ; \Vest Ridings, i 2 dis. ; Lancaster and Carlisle, 14 pm.; London stock, 110 4 110; Do. quarters, 18/9 . 1 pm.; Do. C quarters. 14 pm. ' • Mid land halves, 241 4 4 dis. ; Do. stock, 36 to 364, buyers ; Southeastern. and Dovers - , 17, buyers; York and North Midlands, 174, buyers. The Cotton market yesterday closed dull and heavy. The sales were 5,000 bales-I,COO for export, and 500 on speculation. Most favourable weather having prevailed throughout the whole country since our last report, all apprehensions as to the still outstanding crops are set aside, and we have consequently to report only a languid trade in the corn market, since Friday last; prices notwithstanding are still maintained, owing perhaps in a greet measure to small importers and continued unfavourable accounts of the yield and quality in the Wheat crop. Indian Corn is only in very moderate demand, holders are however firm, and we therefore have no alteration to note in price. —Other articles nominally the same. The arrivals of Foreign wain in this port during the week have been light, comprising 4,200 qrs. Foreign Wheat, and 3,000 begs, and 1000 barrels of Flour. It is probable that the Wheat crop, both here and in Ireland, will still be defi cient, especially in Ireland, where the breadth of land sown has been much diminished this year below the re duced breadth last year. The potato crop has been cul tivated to an extent far greater than required to make up the deficiency, should the disease, of which we now hear little since the dry weather set in, be fortunately arrested. The harvest is now almost completed, and the results can be pretty well ascertained. The Times of yesterday . . speaks rather more cheerfully on the subject, but we can t! not conceive, from our own information, that there is much ground for congratulation. Our contemporary says :—" Judging by the tenour of the rei.orts which have reached us from every part of the kingdom, we feel little doubt of an average harvest. Of barley and oats there is no doubt whatever that the crops are above the average. The late storms of wind and rain are said to have injured the wheat crop, which is admitted to have been ready for the sickle somewhat earlier than usual. On the whole, the weather has been favourable for the operations of the harvest, the chief difficulty being want of hands." Our market for Scotch Pig Iron is rather inactive, and the quotations for mixed numbers is 435. ; Gartsherrie No. 1, 445. Sales have been made at at 3d less. Bars in Wales at £4 12s. 6d., with few transactions. The following report from the Birmingham Gazette of to-day, ra to the iron trade in that district, is not more favourable that.shose which we have published on several recent occasions : We have no new feature to remark—the same long-continued dulness pervades every department of the trade—local demand for the manufacturing of hardware articios is scarcely so brisk, and upon the whole makers are very partially supplied with orders. Some of them, therefore, are under ti,e necessity of working still shorter time. In the pig trade we have tint heard of any further reduction of make; in sales of this article very little is doing, prices, therefore, are nominally the same. The reports from our principal markets, London and Liverpool, have also a downward tendency, owing, it is supposed, to the unfavourable character of the Export Returns for the last month or two, and at present there seems no prospect of im provement. Coal, ironstone, and limestone are becoming much less in request, the former being sold at lower rates; but the proprietors of mines producing the latter are wisely discon tinuing their workings to a considerable extent, instead of attempting to force sales by further reduction in prices already scarcely remunerative. Some attention has lately been excited as to the unsound state of the Scotch pig-iron trade. M. Guizot has left London for Paris, it is said on a visit of condolence to the bereaved family of the late King Louis Philippe. THE LIVERPOOL HUNT CLUBS—ThiS club will hold its autumn meeting over their course at. Hoylake on Wednes day and Thursday next. On the first day there will be five races, and six on the second day, all of which are ex pected to he well contested. The races Will commence each day at two O'clock, and the last race will take place at five. For the Liverpool hunt handicap there are eleven horses entered, and nine for the short handicap sweep stakes,, of five sovs. each. For the Birkenhead hurdle race, which is the first race on Thursday, there ere nine entries. FLEETWOOD TESTIMONIAL SCHOOL.—The anniversary of these schools was celebrated on 'Wednesday last by a procession and tea party. The children met at eleven o'clock, and at twelve were formed into procession; at one o'clock the prizes were delivered by Sir P. Hesketh Fleet wood and Lady Fleetwood ; at two o'clock the children were regaled• with coffee and buns, and afterwards enjoyed a variety of games in a field. In the evening a tea-party took place. which was honoured by the company of Sir Hesketh Fleetwood and !tidy, Mr. Janaes Heywood, M.P., Mr. Brotherton, M.P., Rev. St. Vincent Beechey, Rev. Mr. Osborne Trossal Hall, Rev. G. Y. Osborne, incum bent of Fleetwood ; several excellent speeches were made,. and the evening was most pleasantly spent. THE SHIPPING.—The continued prevalence of easterly winds. during the past week, has not only retarded the arrival of inward-bound vessels, but literally emptied our docks of outward-bound craft ; this, coupled with the fact of an arrival of more than the average number of emigrants, has rendered the transport trade rather brisk, and passage prices have advanced considerably. The few vessels that are up for emigrants for New York are all, however, first class. The Forest Queen, a heautiful Bath-built ship, with the Jacob A. Westervelt, (1800 tons,) sail to-day,— the latter vessel, the Liverpool, and the new liner Isaac Wright, Captain George Peabody, packet of the 16th, occupy the full length of the north pier of the Victoria dock, which will give some idea of their monster dimensions. It is now generally anticipated that during the autumn Passages they will at least equal, if not exceed, the usual average rate of fare, although it is an nounced the splendid ships -hitherto trading from New York to Charleston wilt be laid on the Liverpool line to give place to steamers now in the course of construction. DEATH UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.—Yester day an inquest was held in the Coroner's Court, touching the circumstances attending the death of a woman named Sarah Nelson, the wife of a shoemaker. living in a court in Raymond-stretTt. From the evidence that transpired, the facts appear to be as follow :—On Friday evening de ceased came home with her husband, both being in a state of intoxication. Soon after they had entered their cellar, the deceased came out into the street. She appeared to be much excited, and in a violent manner charged her husband with having just acted criminally with a woman named Hannah Kaig, and used to threaten the latter. Prisoner then came out, and a great disturbance followed, during which the man struck his wife with his fist. They both afterwards went into the cellar, and returned again to the street. This was repeated. At length the pri soner came out, flourishing a hammer, and bidding de fiance to a number of boys who had assaulted him. Soon after this an alarm was given that the woman was dead, and on entering the cellar this was found to be the case. The deceased was lying on the floor, leaning on the bed post. A boy, named Philip M'Gorian, stated that prior to the man emir g out for the last time, he saw him strike his wife with some instrument. Mr. John Hor rocks, a surgeon, who made a post modem examination of the body, stated that there was a contusion on the left side of the frontal bone, with extravaeation at the base of the brain. There was also general congestion of the j brain ; but as there was no extravasation correspo n di ng to the external marks of violence, he was inclined to think that death arose from apoplexy, the result of natu ral causes. The prisoner was accordingly acquitted. ANNUAL LICENSING SESSIONS, YESTERDAY. The annual licensing sessions for the borough of Liver pool, was held yesterday,' his worship the mayor in the chair. Oa the bench at various periods during the day we observed Charles Turner, Esq., Eyre Evans, Esq., Wm. Rathbone, E-q., Geo. Grant'. Esq., Thomas Bolton, Esq., Robertson Gladstone,Esq., J. H. Turner, Esq. and others. The number of applications was 219, and the court during the day was crowded to excess by anxious ex pectants. Contrary to the ordinary practice, which has been adopted in applications for new licenses, to read over the names of-those only to whom they bad been granted, leaving the other parties present to retire, the court proceeded to call over the names of each seriatim, the unsuccessful as well as the successful, which ery tedious precess occupied the greater portion of the day. The number of new licenses granted up to the close of the proceedines was only ( eight, viz. :—to Thomas Edwards, Gore-street, Kirkdale ; William Rigby, Limekiln-lane; John Smith, Leeds-sheet ; Henry Haves, Church-street; Margaret Jones, Peter's-lane ; Henry Booth, Lime-street Railway • Station; Lydia Bentley, London-road ; and Edward Denson, Islington-terrace. The answer given' from the bench to 'the remaining applicants was, that licensed houses were not required in the respective neigh bourhoods to which their applications referred. After a number of refusals had been made to parties applying, each of whom had been previously called upon to state the grounds upon which be or she applied for a license, Ka Eyre Evans rose and remarked that he had sate there for above an hour listening to the constant plea of the magistrates. that licenses were not wanted in the various localities applied for. He understood, however, that such licenses were worth from XICO to £5OO each, and from the number of applications which they had before them that day, they must conclude that they were wanted (laughter and applause). Several cases occurred in which some sparring took place between parties who had applied for transfers, and other parties who thought that they had previous rights to be favored. The case which created the greatest interest, however, was an application by Mr. Snowball, in behalf of a party named Hughes, for a new licence to a house situ ated at the corner of Great Orford-street and Mount pleasant. Mr. Snowball, in advocating the granting of the license, dwelt upon the fact that there was a large and respectable population in the neighbourhood, and no licensed public-house within any reasonable distance. He understood that the objection to the license being granted would be, that a public-house in that neighbourhood would be an annoyance to the ladies and gentlemen who were in the habit of meeting at the Wellington Rooms, who were afraid that it would furnish opportunities, by which the drivers of their carriages, and their servants, might be encouraged to make it a resort for drinking, whilst they were partaking of the enjoyments of the dance. Mr. Robertson .Gladsfone here rose and observed that he felt. confident that such motives could not be imputed to the magistrates in any course which they might adopt with respect to the grenting of this license. He himself would pay the same attention to the prayer of the poor. applicant as the rich. It appeared that in this district there was a population of between 2,000 and 3,000, - with out the accommodation of a licensed public-louse; and he could not see that the feelings. of the frequenters or the Wellington Rooms, who met only once in three or four weeks, ought to be consulted on the matter so much as the convenience of the residents in the neighbourhood. As to the plea with respect to their coachmen and servants using such a house, they wanted it. They were generally summoned about an hour before they were wanted ; and the Wellington Rooms were principally frequented in winter. Such a house in the immediate neighbourhood was therefore required, and he moved that a license be granted to it. Mr. Eyre Evans seconded the motion. Mr. Bolton explained, as one of the reasons which would induce him to refuse, this application, the fact that a transfer license was asked for a house on the opposite side of the street (Mount Pleasrnt.) Mr. Evans said that he was willing to allow both, and would move that both be granted. What was thought to be a rather hurriedly forced on vote was then taken, and the application refused by 7 votes to 2. Mr. Gladstone was cheered repeatedly during his speech, and it, was generally expected by the auditcry, upon whom his remarks had made a strong impression, that the license would have been granted. LICENSE TO THE REFIZESIIMENT-ROOMS, RAILWAY STATION, LIME-STREET. Mr. tip' AGSTAFFE applied to the bench for a license for the Refreshment-rooms, at the Lime-Street Station of the London and North-western Company, to be granted in the name of Henry Booth, Esq., secretary to the Com pany. Mr. NV. based his claim on tLe ground of the propriety of enabling the company to proNiLle refresh ments for parties going by the early morning trains ; and contended that the station ought not to be regarded as a terminus, but as the connecting link of a railway, and a water journey . , as, for example, from the north or south, to Ireland and Scotland. Mr. SNOWBALL was proceeding to oppose, on the part of the victuallers and hotel-keepers in the neighbourhood, when Mr. THOS. BOLTON rose to protest against an opposi tion being offered •by such parties, who only.wanted to protect their own monopoly. Mr. SNOWBALL proceeded and said that the hotel keepers :in the neighbourhood had a right to complain when they found that the company intended to open a front of their rooms iAto Lime-street. He would with draw his opposition if the directors would assure him that they did not intend to open a dram-shop. This-efier not beirg accepted, the learned gentleman denounced, in strong terms, the injustice of a great public company being permitted to direct their great powers and capital to carry on a competition with private individuals, as, for instance, the proprietors of the Queen's Hotel opposite the station, who had purchased their property from the Corporation, never expecting that the London and North-western Rail way Company were going to become dram-shop keepers. After a few further remarks, and a reply from Mr. Wag staffe, in which it was stated that the opening into Lime street would he solely used as a place of entrance for pro visions, &c., to supply the rooms, the license was pro nounced to be granted unanimously.. There was more than usual the number of magistrates on the bench &Ling this case, who shortly afterwards left the court. After delivering some licenses not previously called for, the court adjourned till Wednesday. THE NEW STAMP ACT. An act which has received the royal assent effects a very important reduction in stamp duties; and it will be of considerable advantage to the middle and humbler classes. The act comes into operation on the 10th October next, and the saving that will he accomplished in dealing with estates will at once be seen by the following tables : PURCHASE 1 PRESENT I FUTURE I SAVING. MONEY. DUTIES. DUTIES. CONVEYANCES OF FREEHOLD ESTATES.

Memorials are only required in register counties ; and leases for a year might, in some instances, as where there was a power of appointment, be dispensed with. The above table only reaches to £2OO, but the comparison can be carried onwards. From this reduction of stamp duties the public will learn at what reduced expenditure estates may be conveyed, mortgaged, or held under lease. There are many other seasonable reductions in stamp duties, which may be seen on referring to the new stamp act. SALE OF MR. 'O'CONNOR'S ALLOTMENTS IN OXFORD SIIIRE.—On Saturday, the allotments at Minster Lovell (ore of Feargus O'Connor's celebrated land schemes) were brought to the hammer, at Oxford, by order of the mortgag,ees, who have a claim of £5,000 upon the whole estate; which comprises 297 acres of land, and 82 cottages, of three, four, and more rooms each. A notice had been circulated previous to the sale, to the effect that any per sons purchasing any portion of the property would thereby involve themselves in a suit of Chancery. One of the occupiers told the auctioneer that it was the intention of all of them to keep possession, or throw the whole into Chancery. Out of 85 lots only 6 were really sold. Several were bought in, and for the great majority there were no bidders. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF A CLERGYMAN.' — A n attempt was made on Friday upon the life of the Rev. R. Atthill, curate of Holy Trinity Church in Hull, which has created quite an excitement. The rev. gentleman was conversing in the market-place with a friend whom he had met, when a man respectably dressed came up , ar d, hold ing a pistol within two or three incises of Mr. Atthill's head, pulled the trigger. Fortunately, although the cap exploded, the•pistol itself hung fire; upon which the fel low walked unconcernedly away, saying, " It does" 7 t sig nify ; we shall meet again." At first the rev. gentleman thought a rather extraordinary joke had been played upon him ; but, recovering from his surprise, he foll Owed the man, who was then taken into custody. Upon examina tion, the pistol was found to be loaded with hall and a proper charge of powder, and a powder-flask and another toilet were discovered upon his person. Had the pistol not providentially been prevented from going off, Mr. Atthill must have been killed on the spot, So close was the weapon held to his head. The prisoner was immediately taken before the magistrates, who were sitting at the time of the occurrence, and by them he was committed to York for trial at the next assizes. His name is Edward Kelass, and, from statements made before the court, he appears to be insane, and to be suffering from a religious monomania. He assigned no motive for the outrage.
