Th e Limo For months past the Government of this properly the nation, has been act ing as bankers to the owners of property in Ire land. Hundreds of thousands sterling have been furnished weekly for the making of roads, and for public works of other descriptions, for drainage, and even for coffins,—the former designed for em ploying the starving peasantry, and the latter for burying them in decency ; and all -along this has been done under the understanding, provided for by the law, that the money thus furnished—with out which Ireland must have been in anarchy and utter, instead of partial, famine—was to be repaid by the owners of the soil. We have sent cargo after cargo of food to her shores, always believing that we were supplying it under a guarantee that it should be paid for at some day, however remote. And, whilst we have been doing this, the food which she herself produces has been duly shipped, or at least a large portion of it, to our own markets ; and the money as duly gone into the pockets of the landowner, the mortgagee, the middleman, and the farmer. We have not complained of this anoma lous way of doing things—this selling for cash, on the one side, and at long credit, on the other. We saw the people in a strait—famishing, or in danger of famishing—and the landowners at the moment country, or mo: Ible, or at least not prepared, to employ or to relieve them. We, therefore, advanced them the means ; but for all this, we expected to be repaid. The owners of the soil of Ireland, however; seem now disposed to repudiate their part of the contract. The opening paragraph of their manifesto thus lays down the ground-work of their plea of nil debit : "A greai'calamity has befallen the United Kingdom. The principal food of one-third of the imperial union has been destroyed by a blight from heaven. It is even more a calamity than war ; for war is of man's own choice and provocation ; but famine is here amongst us from causes which no human prudence could foresee, and no human power prevent. We are, indeed, involved in the greatest national calamity." The conclusion drawn from these premises is, that, as the calamity is a national one, the cost of removing it should be borne by the nation. Before considering the correctness of this conclusion, let us briefly examine the premises themselves. " A great calamity has befallen the United Kingdom." Admitted. England, Wales, and Scotland, are sufferers as well as Ireland ; and the next sentence of th( paragraph, quite correct as to the fact, explains the reason why the people of England and Wales, at least, are not suffering so severely as Ireland—why famine is not amongst them. The crop upon which calamity has fallen is not the "principal food" of that people. Famine, the memo rial says, is amongst the people of Ireland, "from causes which no human prudence could foresee, and no human power prevent." To the correctness of this assertion we must demur. The most influential -of those causes has been long foreseen and often foretold. We have pointed to it, and others have pointed to it. That cause is not so much the loss or deterioration of the potato crop as the reduction of the people of Ireland to a condition of sole dependence upon that article of food. Had this dependence not existed—had the Irish peasant been taught and encouraged to depend more upon his own active exertions than upon the precarious produce of a precarious crop—had he been emancipated from the exactions of the priest, the demagogue, and the sturdy beggar—privation there might have been, suffering there might have been, but famine there could not have been. To say that no human power could have prevented such a calamity, or rather the consequences of the calamity—famine— under which Ireland is suffering, is to say that the population of one of the most fertile ns upon he most is tor ever to remain one of +1 degraded and impoverished in Europe. Will any Irish pan believe this ? No. Then we say, what can be done might have been done. But now to the conclusion deduced from the above premises. The calamity, the landowners con tend, is a national one, and, therefore, it ought to be provided for out of the national funds. if Ire land was an independent state, they say, she would have to b:ar the burthen imposed upon her, and to "pledge her land and industry to buy food for her people ; but she would not, unless she desired the "It is said that a measure of this sort would be equiva lent to a confiscation of the land ; but, in truth and reality, it is .the only means by w hi c h it wou ld appear possible thatits confiscation can be prevented. Does any one sup pose, that if the existing state of things be permitted to run its full cdurse, rents will also continue to be paid ? They are already on the verge of destruction ; and can only be secured by providing other means for the pro tection of the peasantry against the extreme of want than the possession of small patches of land. But, indepen dently of these important considerations, when under the present system any circumstance occurs to deprive any considerable number of the people of their accustomed means of subsistence, they are, as at present, (December, 1846,) employed on public works, under the superintend ence of Government servants, by means of money advan ced by the Treasury, to be repaid by the landlords. But it is needless to say, that however well it may be admin istered, this cannot be otherwise than a most wasteful and improvident mode of providing relief. The public works on which the poor are employed are often unnecessary ; and when they are necessary they cost two or three times as much as they would do were they constructed in the ordi nary way. This plan, too, has the further and very serious disadvantage of interfering with the ordinary em.i ployments of the people, and of withdrawing them from husband labour at the very time when, perhaps, it is most necessary it should be carried on. And, to crown all, the landlords are to pay the Treasury the vast sums thus im providently expended. No doubt they all but universally flatter themselves with the belief that this condition will not be enforced, and that England will not demand pay ment of her just claims. In this, however, they may be disappointed. And it is to be hoped that the people of England may at length become sensible that there is no real charity or benevolence, but the reverse, in taxing themselves, and submitting their own poor to serious pri vations, that the landlords of Ireland may be exempted from burdens which are borne by every landlord in Eng land, and the imposition of which is indispensable to their own well-being, as well as that of the Irish nation." By submitting gracefully to this necessity of their position, the landowners of Ireland would earn the respect of their British fellow-countrymen, as well as advance their own permanent interests. The course which, instead, they seem inclined to pursue can only damage them. desiruCtion of her gentry, impose the whole repay ment upon them, as a class, to the exoneration of the rest of the community." With the latter posi tion we have nothing to do at' present. The prayer Put forth just now, for the first time, is for " the Legislature to provide for the calamity out of the public revenue, and to pass an act indemnifying the Irish landlords against more than their rateable share of the burthen." This is about as reasonable as it would be to ask of the landowner of any well conducted estate in Ireland to contribilte for the support of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's rack-rented and squatting tenantry. W THE promoters of the Tidal Harbours Bill, the arbitrary and iniquitous provisions of which we exposed last week, are not, as soiree of our readers may imagine, sleeping over the task which they have proposed for themselves. No ordinary obstacle will stay the Whig appetite for a job. Once upon a trail, like sleuthounds they pursue their prey, quietly, perseveringly, through mire and missiles, never giving mouth until the last spring is made, rnd the hunted object is within their clutches. Already they have their emissaries prowling about from port to port, snuffing the air for abuses, real )r imaginary, upon which to base their claim to absorb so large an amount of property and patro nage. They have their secretaries and assistant secretaries, clerks and officials, of the usual class, Ind have already compiled two blue books, styled reports, which are, no doubt, by this time in the hands of that portion of the public who are privi leged to peruse such documents. At the moment at which we write we have not had an opportunity of seeing either of these ; and as we are not aware that their " commissioner," or any one else connected with the bill, has as yet ventured upon an invasion of this port, we do not feel any anxiety to examine the documents. From communications before us, however, we find that they have paid their respects to Glasgow, made surveys and examined evidence, in the approved fashion of Whig officials who desire to arrive at any particular conclusion—viz., the fashion of hearing only one side of the question. They have also visited the little harbour of Wells, in Norfolk, the commissioners of which harbour,. in acknow ledging the receipt of a copy of the bill and the two reports already published, thus designate the latter : " First, we observe, on the reports of the commission, that, if they may be fairly estimated by that portion which relates to the harbour of Wells, they are totally unworthy of any credit,"—rather strong terms ! " Every state ment in it is untrue, in fact, or false in inference ; but the misrepresentations it contains cannot be contained within the proper limits of this letter. The single commissioner in England, are bearing air share of the burthen, and we, in Liver- who visited and personally inspected our harbour, con ducted his in quiry in the most reprehensible manner. He performed his duties here with precipitancy and indiscri mination ; he received with eagerness, and without inves tigation, every report of abuses ; he set them down as proved as soon as they were asserted, was impatient at every attempt at refutation, and in consequence heard only that which falsehood, malevolence, or ignorance, in vented or believed." We do not wish to sound an unnecessary alarm. It is necessary and wise in all cases to look our difficulties in the face ; and this is a case of no ordinary difficulty : one too for which a remedy may very reasonably be demanded at the hands of the Legislature and the nation. They are not our own poor for which we are being taxed. From a statement given elsewhere, it will be seen that at least three-fourths. of the objects re ceiving casual relief are Irish.. It is not our fault that the port of Liverpool is- the key to the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Cheshire; and it is hardly fair that upon us should devolvethe task of passing forward, or home, or of keeping all the starving wretches whom Ire land can supply, or shows such alacrity in getting rid of. In ordinary years the burden thrown upon us is sufficiently onerous ; and now that it is be coming intolerable, some means might surely be devised to relieve us from its very unequal and unjust pressure. Many modes in which this might be effected suggest themselves. We might borrow funds to meet the temporary emergency, the repay ment to be extended over a given number of years. We might extend the boundaries of the parish, to take in the population of our extra-parochial suburbs. It will be a strange anomaly when we see, as we shall shortly do, a small shopkeeper in London-road or Great Howard-street paying double the amount of poor's rate which is paid by his wealthy neighbour in Shaw-stret, Evcrton, or in Kirkdale. Or the payment of the extra amount levied might be extended over the county of which Liverpool is the port. The nation at large might even be called in aid in a case where a particular locality is so haßlly dealt with. It is not for us to say how much of this is true. A Commissioner employed by a Whig Government to prepare the ground for the perpetration of a Whig job must, however, earn his salary.i He would, no doubt, find plenty of people, malevolent or ignorant, in the town of Wells to invent abuses for him, and to assist in making out a strong case for Government interference. When he favors us with a visit, he will doubtless discover many simi lar people, ready to give him a helping hand—to spy out malpractices for him—to show how rates can be expended in pet projects of their own—to point out s in the river, and other mat ters ; and, out of all this, it will be strange if he cannot establish to his own satisfaction, and that of his employers, quite sufficient grounds why they should grasp the property of the Dock Trustees of Liverpool, and he should have a permanent place provided for him under the Board of Conservators of Tidal Harbours. The Commissioners of Wells Harbour take. the same view of the Bill itself which we have already expressed. They remark that— _ _ _ ar In the meantime, it reflects great credit upon the authorities and the inhabitants of Liverpool that they have not shown a selfish or unfeeling spirit upon an occasion when they might, with so much reason, have grudged the relief which has been so lavishly drawn from them. The greater part of , the land, and all of it at the north end, being taken from the river, some of the originUl strand, with its rivulets, is yet to be seen within the embanked enclosements. At one part the bed of a brook is still left in statu quo—probably; what was called " Beacon's Gutter ; and here, in excavating the s o il, appears to be peat moss, and at one part of it the remains of an ancient forest have been partly dug up. Trunks and branches of trees of considerable size are thrown up, with the bark upon them; and though they are decayed, the grain of the wood is still perfectly developed. We conjecture that these trees were alders, but those knowing and curious in ge,ological research may satisfy themselves by an investigation. The severity of the weather and the haze, during our visit to the works, precluded our obtaining a detailed or precise account f all that is going on ; but we shall recur to the subject, noticing the new fort, yet almost in embryo, at the extreme north of the ground, and trust that we shall be enabled to afford some statistics of the whole which will gratify those of our readers who take an interest in the maritime progress of " the good old town." INCREASED RELIEF AT THE PARISH OFFICE, INFLUX OF IRISH PAUPERS, We have more than, once called attention to the im mense drain upon our parish funds, created by the great number of Irish. poor crowding into our town, and the increasing destitution of the Irish already located amongst us. The evil continues to increase at a rate quite alarming. Every day the doors of nur parish offices are completely blockaded by starving objects, or by pre tenders to destitution, seeking relief, the distribution of which occupies all. the force that can be spared from their ordinary duties. On Monday, the 4th instant, of casual poor, chiefly Irish, and many only just arrived, there were relieved, (with bread and soup tickets) of men, wo men, and children, 3,233 individuals ; on Tuesday, 3,237 ; on Wednesday, 4,511_; on Thursday, 4,692 ; on The annual meeting of the Trustees of this excellent Institution took place yesterday in the Board-roora,of the building, for the purpose of receiving the accounts, elect ing officers, &c. Jolla Crosthwaite, the president during the past year, was inAhe chair, and there was a consider able attendance of members. The report for the -year having been read, the. Rev. Mr. Monk expressed his opi nion that the friends of the institution could not but be satisfied with the statement made, and proposed that it be adopted, printe‘and distributed amongst the subscri bers. This, as indeed all the other resoulutions, was car ried unanimously. The remainder of the business was of the usual routine. Votes of thanks were passed to the chairman for his zealous services during the past year ; to Mr. Gibson, the treasurer ; to the physi c i ans an d sur geons ; to Dr. Brandreth, as consulting physician ; to the Rev.. W. Blundell, the chaplain, and others—all of which were conveyed in highly complimentary terms. Samuel H. Thompson, Esq,, was unanimously elected president for the present year. The following statement we were favoured with.by the Secretary : Patients in the Infirmary on Ist of present month.

A The bill is conceived in a harsh, offensive, insulting, and despotic spirit. . it is unconstitutional in its aim, asserts a vague extent of prerogative in the crown beyond -the limits of all law, commits violence upon all the exist ing institutions, puts in jeopardy—if it is not meant indeed to subvert—the rights of property over considera ble tracts of land hitherto held under the most formal acts, and, by a rude force, most unskilfully applied, annuls in one short clause ' all laws, statutes, and usages, and all royal and other grants and charters inconsistent with its_provisions.' " NEW HOUSES, &c. , IN LIVERPOOL The following is the number of houses and warehouses erected, or in the course of erection, within the municipal borough, from the Ist Jan. to 31st Dec. 1846 : Friday 5426, and on Saturday, the 9th, 8362, making for the week 29,417 cases. The money relief thus admi nistered is £123 3s. 10d. In addition to this, we paid in. money, for the relief of casual: sick, on Monday 4th, £l6 2s. 6d. ; on the sth, £3O ss. ; on the 6th, £29 19s 6d ; on the 7th, £l4 ss. ; on the Bth, £ll 18s ; and on, Saturday the 9th, £43 16s. If we may judge from the crowded state of Fenwick street yesterday, the number of cases would be still more. At the time we write—a late hour—the relieving officers are busy at their work, and have plenty of it before them. The total amount paid for casual poor, relieved in money, bread, and soup, ac cording to the above account, was for the week ending Saturday, the 9th instant, £269 9s. 10d. By way of showing-the increase of the out-door relief, which is being administered, over that of last year, we may state that in the corresponding week of 1846, 3280 cases put down as regular poor, were relieved at a cost of £3Bl 3s. There was no administration of relief in bread and soup in that year. The amount, however, includes the casual sick. During the same week this year, the poor relieved, also including the casual sick, h ave been 4497 cases, at a cost of £546 10s. 10d. ; and, adding to this amount, the casual relief as above £123 3s. 10d., the total amount during the last week is £669 , 14s. Bd, being an increase of £2BB lls. Bd, for the week over the corresponding one of last year.

In addition to this, we must bear in mind that our workhouse is crowded to excess ; and that the drain upon us for casual relief seems only to be at its commencement. Our prospects therefore of a moderate poor's rate next year are not very flattering.

CHURCH FOR FOREIGN SEAMEN.—The church for foreign seamen in Rathbone-street, which has b een li censed by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, for the esta blishment of which Liverpool is indebted to the indefa tigable exertions of the Rev. Joseph Bayl ee , i s now i n active operation under the ministration of the Rev. J. D. Hirsch. Divine service is regularly celebrated in the Ger man language ; and we are most gratified at being able to announce, that the attendance of the class, for whose benefit it is designed, is numerous and increasing. On Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Baylee pleaded the cause of this church before the congregation of St. Jude's, taking as his text the 6th and 7th verses of the 14th Revelations. The rev. gentleman gave a history of the introduction of the new means of bringing the knowledge of salvation to the numerous foreign sailors frequenting the port, and of the eminent success which had attended its progress. The Italian schools, he stated, which had been unavoid ably suspended, were now resumed, and were in success ful operation. A most earnest appeal to the congregation resulted in the collection of about £36 towards the reduc tion of a debt of £4OO for stipends, fittings, and rent. We hope soon to hear that the whole amount is liquidated, • On Sunday morning, a charity sermon was preached in St. Saviour's Church, by the Rev. W. Warre, the incum bent, in behalf of the perishing Irish, when the very liberal sum of £ll4 was collected.

Verner M. White, minister when £227 Os. 11d. were raised. In addition to this, I'B7 in money and clothes were sent a short time ago, making the handsome total of £314 6s. 11d. It may perhaps stir up the zeal of others to know what this young and groWing interest has done during the past year. Collected at the opening of their church, Jan. 25, 1846, £292—year's revenue about £5OO. To missions £4O ; subscribed about four weeks' since, to clear off certain outstanding demands due on the building, £340; and on Sunday .last £3l4—making in all, and before the first t year in their• church has ended, a total o f £1486. AU his, in addition to what was contribu ted towards the erection of their premises in Islington, comprising a neat and commodious church, with lofty and spacious schools underneath, and a minister's house adjoining. This is more remarkable, as the congregation, though rapidly increasing, is neither very large nor very wealthy. We feel confident it has not a single member who feels himself the poorer for what he has given ; and the whole furnishes an example of what diligence, perseveranc e, and united e ffort , accopanied by a prayerful depen dence u p on divin e grace, are m able to accomplish. " Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it ; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain."

The damage is about £lOOO, the greater part of which is insured. The fire brigade were very active, end the on the spot. our own f pool, are bearing, and always bear, mor fair share. We have those whom we make poor, or allow to become poor, to keep. We have also shoals of Ireland's poor to keep. We tax ourselves, year by year, to maintain; by rates, those of our popula tion who cannot maintain themselves ; and we fur ther tax ourselves, by an increased price of labour, to enable our population to maintain themselves. When have Ireland's gentry shewn a disposition to do eithe r of these things ? Never. Surely, then, it is not fair for us, who have not brought it about, to be asked, whenever calamity falls upon Ireland, to repair the evil which Irish improvidence and neglect have brought about. If we have a burthen, than our WORKING OF THE ALBERT DOCK Our new contemporary, " The Liverpool Express," hai fallen into error in commenting upon our statement in last week's paper. We feel assured this was uninten tional, and that he will thank us for setting him right. The Nicholas Biddle he states to be 900 tons register, but it will be found she is only 783 tons. The Waterloo is 983 tons register, being 200 tons more than the Nicho las Biddle. Both are good instances of rapid discharge, and should only be noticed as such,—but the remark, to show that the Albert Dock is not so effective as it might be," and that " the discharge of the Waterloo is not so very extra ordinary," savors somewhat of unfairness, inasmuch as we did not put forth our statement at all in a spirit of rivalry. However, as the matter has been so brought forward, it is infinitely in favour of the working of the Waterloo, of which the following comparison is proof. The Waterloo was discharged at lite Albert Dock, and the Nicholas Biddle at the Transit Sheds. Nicholas Biddle, register 783 tons; cargo, 3516 pack ages and 19,796 bushels wheat. In four days was discharged, and 2853 pack ages, and 19,796 bushels wheat were taken to account and delivered. Waterloo, register 983 tons; cargo, 6701 packages, and 21,088 bushels wheat. In 41 days was discharged, and 4,362 packages and 21,088 bushels wheat were taken to account and de livered, notwithstanding se veral hindrances for want of sacks ; and in addition to which, during the discharge, fifty tons of bar iron were put on board as stiffening. SUPPLY OF WATER The question as to the quantity of water which the present water companies are capable of supplying having been again raised, we have felt it our duty tp make further inquiries on the subject, as, a few weeks since, we demon strated by facts and figures, which no one as yet has ven tured to controvert, that there is abundance of water in and around Liverpool, without going to such a distance as either Bala Lake or Rivington Pike for a supply. We here give the result of our further inquiries, and may state that we have the strongest conviction of the truth of the following particulars. We know it to be a fact that the Harrington Company, by merely boring an Artesian well in the bottom of their lodgment in William Henry-street, obtained a supply of water so abundant that they are actually obliged to allow upwards of 100,000 gallons daily to run to waste, in order that the works may not be inundated. We know, more over, that although the engine at the company's station at Windsor has been kept at work both day and night, for the last twelve months, in order that the mains may be kept constantly charged, in the event of fire, _no impres. Sion has been made on the spring. And we know it is a fact, for we, had the pleasure of seeing it; that there is now constructing, at the company's works, an immense pumping apparatus, which, when completed, will enalfie them to supply from the Windsor station 500,000 gallons more than they do at present. All these circumstances tend to confirm our expressed opinion, that we have at command abundance of water. All we require is to have it judiciously distributed. The full increase of the Customs' revenue at this port last year over the previous one was £189,253. The presentation of a piece of plate and purse will b e made to the Rev. George Dover on Friday next. Sin c e we announced the testimonial in our last it has been in creased to £lOO. . _ The wardens and congregation of St. Philip's have, in the most gratifying manner, presented the Rev. R. L. Townsend, A.M., the late incumbent of the church, with upwards of £126, to 'be expended in a testimonial, as a mark of their esteem, and in remembrance of his valued services during a ministry of 18 years.
