We care not for such denunciations.

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1843. per square yard." We have now, from the re spected Chairman of the Dock Trust, 'another ver sion ! " The cost of the warehouses, including the vaults, will be £lO 10e. per square yard, and with out the vaults, £8 Bs." How are we to reconcile these conflicting ac counts—first £36 Bs.-; then £ll Ile.; and then, with the vaults, £lO 10s. ? The latter, we are fur ther informed by the 'Chairman, does not include the land,—or, as he says, perhaps more correctly, " the making of the land." The'land cost £2 12s. 6d. per square yard. The " making of the land"— the piling, filling, , &c.—what may that cost ? Any man who has gone over the stupendous works which have been tarried on upon the site of these warehouses, and to form that site, may almost be disposed to believe, with Mr. William Earle, and in accordance with our first calculation and the Surveyor's first calculation of their cost, that these warehouses will not be completed, including land, piling, &c., for less than £4O per square yard When will the Dock Committee solve, beyond dispute—it cannot be very difficult—this most im portant question.? At the present moment, it is all important 1 " He should blush to tell the stranger that Liverpool was under the control of a private interest that oppressed her commerce and her trade; that, whilst every one of these men was at perfect liberty to build any kind of trashy warehouses he liked, 'on hill or dale, or wherever he would, the public were inhibited from building the best of warehouses on the most eligible site. (Hear, bear.) Men must be under the most degrading influence in the world, to suppose that the commerce of Liverpool was to be checked, interrupted, •and curtailed by a few men, whose interests were, after all, comparatively unimpor tant; and there could be no doubt that the corporation ought to be released from such a degrading position a s this. The memorial alluded to a new circumstance—the vast number of warehouses that had been burnt. When these were to be replaced, would they deny the public the application of the principle which they had already con ceded, by allowing half of the proposed dock warehouses to be erected ? He did believe that if the warehouse in terest had effected the conquest of Liverpool just as an other William the Conqueror might have done, they could hardly,bave imposed more destructive and more degrading conditions on the town than they did by the late Dock Act. He did hope that, under all the 'circumstances, and considering the evident want of warehouses, the warehouse interest would withdraw their opposition, and allow warehouses to be built, which would be a model to the world." We, too, should blush ; but it would be to be found talking such empty trash as this, and to be so palpably displaying to the world how totally our judgment and common sense we e obscured by the absorbing. influence of a pet crotchet Mr. Alderman Evans must know, or he ought to know, that any application to Parliament to permit the engrafting of a clause, so vitally important and so extensive in its operation as the clause proposed to he engrafted upon the Fire Phvention Bill, could only tend to prevent the passing of that bill itself. We have the distinct declaration of the Town Clerk that such would be the effect of the application in question; and really, when we see a gentleman, in defiance of such an opinion, persevere in an obsti nate attempt to hurry the Council to the adoption of a course so suicidal, we may almost be justified in the suspicion that he cares less for the Fire Pre vention Bill—less for the providing of a remedy which will contribute to arrest the frequent confla grations occurring in the town—than for the tri umph, by the aid of a temporary ferment in tho public mind, of that hobby with which he has so sedulously endeavoured to ride roughshod over the will and the properties of a large portion of the in , habitants of the town. TIME OF PARLIAMENT CONSUMED IN THE DISCUSSION OF IRISH AFFAlRS.—Referring to the complaint of Mr. W. S. O'Brien, that Ireland is neglected by the British Parliament, the London Times on Thursday remarks— " What proportion of time do our readers suppose has been actually occupied in the two Houses of Parliament by exclusively Irish subjects? The time we cannot pro fess to guess at, but the matter spoken, even as abridged of some of its most superfluous trash by the judgment of our reporters, has occupied in our paper, since the Easter recess only, no less than one hundred and four columns and three-quarters, and seems but too unlikely to stop even there. This at least, if not a disproof of, may be taken by Mr. O'Brien as at least some revenge for the neglect of the Legislature." If to this be added the time consumed by the British press and the British public, in recording and perusing the ruffianism of O'Connell's repeal gatherings, it cannot with any degree of reason be urged that the alleged evils, or the sayings and doings of the Irish people, do not occupy a full share of the attention of the world. A RADICAL GRIEVANCE !—ln the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday last, we find the following somewhat amusing paragraph : " DISGRACEFUL USE OF A COURT OF JUSTICE.--The sessions-room or moot-hall of the borough of Wigan, on Monday last, was set apart for the accommodation of the Orange lodges, who had a grand gala day in that town, and were ' honoured ' with the company of several of the more distinguished members of the order. A band, en gaged by the body, was playing during the whole of the day in the neighbourhood of the hall, and an adjacent public-house, where one of the lodges is held ; and the Orangemen dressed in full uniform, paraded the streets to and from the building, the door of which was kept by one of the fraternity. In addition to the above, several banners bearing the arms of the order, and inscriptions, Church and state,' Loyal Orange Society,' &c., were hung from the windows of the grand jury room, outside the hall, and the members were in deliberation during a great part of the day, with closed doors. What the go vernment will say to this gross perversion of the use of a public court of justice, if represented to them, remains to be seen : it certainly reflects the highest discredit on the authorities of the borough." A shocking thing, truly, that the " sessions -room, or moot .hall," of the borough of Wigan, should be occupied—whether they paid or not for theaccom moaation—by a body of men who, in addition to their other enormities, their " closed doors," &c., could have the assurance to exhibit from its win dows banners bearing inscriptions so offensive to the eye of liberalism as " Church and State," " Loyal Orange Society," &c. ! A repeal meeting might have been held in this same " moot-hall;" and, we venture to say, we should not have had any great outcry against it from .the Manchester Guar dian. A dissenting gathering would have been quite fitting and proper within its walls. But a meeting of loyalists, whose motto is " Church and State"—" what will the government say" to such an enormity ? A place of worship may be desecrated by anti-corn-law meetings ; town councils and ves tries may be turned into normal schools of agita tion ; but a meeting in a court of justice, of men devoted to the support of the Church and the in stitutions of their country, is an enormity which the Guardian thinks ought to be put down by the hand of the executive ! Oh, the consummate im pudence of "liberalism" ! that you can get, but don't promise to give up any- thing'! I WILL TAKE CARE TO FOLLOW SUCH " It was a principle of English law, quite consistent with the practice of the constitution, that p ar li amen t .. . .. .. . ADVICE Is this not warning sufficient ? Can the blindest the maddest, after such a declaration, advise the should give relief wherever an injustice had been perpe trated; and whatever might be their views in that room, however they might feel themselves restricted by the late act, the public at large would feel no more restricted by !oncession of an inch of ground to the demands of it than by any other act of the legislature which they wished to have repealed. It was a rule of law, as the professional gentlemen would tell them, that for every thing valuable there must he an equivalent. Now, the warehou-e interest could not pretend that they had given any equivalent for availing themselves of their momentary political power to impose upon the public an unjust re striction. On these grounds, he believed that the mea sures adopted out of doors, or likely to be adopted, would in all likelihood succeed ; and lie did consider that it would be a great deal more creditable for the warehouse interest themselves to take the initiative in the business, and to abandon a restriction which they never had the least right to propose." a traitor, so daring in his designs, and so insolent in tis menaces A RUNNING COMMENTARY UPON CONTEM PORARY JOURNALISM.—A contemporary of Tues day last, in an article of stupendous wisdom, enti tled " State of Trade," has perpetrated a collection of dicta, upon which we propose to present to our readers a " running commentary : " Indeed, this form of criticism is the only one in which we have found ourselves able, after many fruitless trials, to do anything like justice to the production in ques tion.

They would be fire-proof, as far as it was possible to make them so, and he had the dock trustees ? We rather think, on the contrary, I " STATE OF TRAM " The quantity of cotton purchased in Liverpool, by the manufacturers, in the first half year of 1843, is 648,740 bags, against 568,570 bags purchased i n t h e cor responding period of 1842. This gives an inc rease of upwards of 80,000 bags in the quantity bought f or con sumption in the half year just ended, on comparison with the first half year of 1842, and a still greater increase in comparison with the consumption of 1841." The arithmetical question here given 'i s correct l y enough solved. If the consumption of cotton in THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD the first half year of 1843 was 648,740 bags, and that of the sarne period in 1842 was 568,570 bags, the fact flat there has been an increased consump tion. of upwards of 80,000 bags is one of those truths" " which nobody can deny "—nobody, at least, who has studied Cocker. Again, the Times loquitur " So great an increase as this proves (what indeed is generally admitted) that the last half year has been one of activity and prosperity to the cotton manufacturers, and though business is at present rather duller in the cotton districts than it has been for some time, yet it will be seen from the extracts from one of the monthly circulars just published at Manchester, which we give in another column, that there is even now no reason for complaint." Increased consumption of cotton proves the existence of increased " activity" of manufacturing. The conclusion is most logical and undeniable, and worthy of our philosophic contemporary. We rather apprehend, however, that increased con , sumption does not always " prove " increased " prosperity" to the manufacturer. This question, however, we leave our contemporary to discuss with his free-trade friends. The fact may be true; the proof is not so apparent. We leave out some twad dle, and proceed : " The accounts from Canada, brought by the Acadia, prove, beyond doubt, that there can be no importation to any extent either of American or Canadian grain or flour into this country, except when prices are much higher than they are at present in England." Very old news this ; and we rather imagine that, even with prices " much higher than they are at present in England," we shall have, under a system of free trade, as little American or Canadian impor tation as may be, The free-trade friends of the Liverpool Times will again thank him for cutting from beneath their feet their favourite argument— the extent of the importations to be derived from the United States ! Go on again with our most candid contemporary:— " Owing to the dull state of the timber trade, and the large arrivals of shipping in the St. Lawrence, flour can now be brought to this country at half the usual cost of freight, that is about 2s. 6d. a barrel, and yet scarcely any is coming, the price at Montreal being such as to render the shipping of it unprofitable even at that unexampled rate of carriage. And this, it must be remembered, is not the result (flailing crops either in America or Canada, for the wheat crops have been quite as good in both these countries during the last two pears as they ever are." (!) Good again ! When, we ask, are we to have our extensive imports from the United States, which are so materially to benefit our export trade to that country ? What becomes of all the trash-upon stilts which we have had spouted about the " fertile plaini of the West," &c., &c. ? Messrs. Thornely, Evart,' Rathbone—tell us what ! Ye have told us that America could supply our millions with corn cheaper than any other of the nations of the earth; but hear what says your candid philosopher, the Liverpool Times : " The truth is, that the general range of prices in America is much higher than is usually supposed, (!) high wages there adding nearly as much to the cost of production as high rents and taxes do here, and though farming produce is occasionally sold at wonderfully low prices in remote districts, that proves no more as to the general rate of prices than the equally wonderful cheap. ness of the remoter districts of Scotland, and Wales, and Ireland." (1) Excellent blunderer ! You have as fairly cut your throat, or your reputation, as a free-trade authority, as any philosopher within our remembrance ! But the gem of the production is to come. Hear it, all the wiseacres of the Anti-Monopoly Association, and at your next sitting award the cap and bells to its erudite author ! " It is quite certain that, without an exceedingly low rate of duty, or entire freedom, THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY CORN TRADE OF IMPORTANCE EITHER WITH CANADA OR THE UNITED STATES, except when prices are high in England." (!!) The freight of American or Canadian flour from Montreal is only 2s. 6d. per barrel. The differen tial duty now payable is an absolute protection, and a large one, against the cheap corn of Europe. And yet, with these advantages, the flour of the St. Lawrence cannot he profitably imported into Great Britain, " except when prices are high in England," unless under " an exceedingly low rate of duty or entire freedom"—unless, in fact, you WITHDRAW THE ADVANTAGE WHICH THE DIF FERENTIAL DUTY AFFORDS ! Excellent logician ! Tell us how " a low rate of duty" (which they have at present), or " entire freedom," will better enable the entintripc nn the hanks of tho Rt. Lowronoo to supply the British market, when that "low rate" or that " entire freedom" are enjoyed by their con tinental competitors ? We recommend this production of the Liverpool Times to the consideration of the Anti-Monopoly Association at its next sitting. LOCAL NEWS, During the thunder-storm, on Wednesday, a hay-stack was set on fire at Lark-hilt, West Derby, but some men being in the neighbourhood, the fire was soon extinguished. Two old women, at Prescot, were condemned for drunkenness to sit in the stocks, last week, during the market day, and performed the penance accordingly. Such an occurrence has never taken place before in Pres cot in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN.—It gives us much pleasure to hear that the ladies of the Rev. W. Badnall'. congregation, at Wavertree, have lately presented him with a handsome suit of canonicals, as a token of respect. which is another'proof of their esteem for him, and, doubt less, very gratifying to his feelings. We understand that Mr. Edward Dalton, secretary to the Protestant Association of London, has just been or dained by the Bishop of Cashel, and that the future scene of his labours will be in Ireland. From his untiring and indefatigable exertions in the cause of Protestant truth, we feel assured that the rev, gentleman will, by the biessing of Almighty God, become a most useful and laborious minister of our beloved church. SM UGGLIN G.—Joseph Hayes, Wm. Brown, and Joseph Hampson, three boatmen, were yesterday brought before Mr. Rushton, at the Police -court, charged with attempt ing to smuggle 112 lb. weight of foreign-manufactured tobacco. The evidence against Hampson and Brown was decisive, but rather slender against Hayes. They were all remanded until Thursday next, to know the decision of the Board of Customs.---A respectably-dressed youth was committed for seven days, for smuggling two quarts of brandy, from the Isle of Man steamer Queen of the Isle. COMMITMENTS.—A boy named Charles Summers was, on Saturday, committed for trial, charged with stealing about 21h. of coffee from a bag which he had cut open at Mr. Hollis' warehouse in Ironrnonger-lane.—A woman named Mary M'Noltes was also committed for trial at the ensuing sessions, charged with stealing a basket of clothes from a public-house in Hurst -street.—William Kelley for one month, for stealing a barrel from on board a ship.—Joseph Lythgoe for the same time, for robbing a till; and several women, for stealing articles of wearing apparel, for times varying from one to three months. SHIPPING DISPATCH.—The superiority of Liverpool over other ports, in her facilities and accommodations for shipping, has,, we think, been fully proved in the case of the Phoenix, Captain W. R. Greaves, from Antigua, be longing to Messrs. C. W. and F. Shand ; which vessel, with a cargo consistine of 464 hh,lc. cnwir and 291 pun, molasses, besides a number of smaller packages, hauled into dock on Thursday last, discharged and took on board 100 tons ballast and 150 tons goods, and sailed again for Antigua on Saturday, havi ng b een on l y the short space of sixty hours in dock ! We believe this exceeds anything of the kind ever accomplished in Liverpool before. CASE OF STABBING.—On Tuesday last, as two men, named. Daniel Holland and William Sickle, were return ing to St. H e l en ' s f rom P rescot, they met a man of the name of William Dowdell, a porter, residing in this town. Holland and Sickle asked Dowdell to treat them to a quart of ale. Some altercation took place between the parties, and Dowdell pulled out a broad bladed dagger, and stabbed Holland above the left eye, and Sickle on the right side of the forehead and eyebrow; the police was immediately in attendance, and took the instrument from Dowdell, whom they placed in the station-house. On the following morning the case was gone into by Mr. Earle, when Dowdell was committed to take his trial at the assizes ANOTHER CASE OF STABBING.—On Saturday, at the police-court, a rough-looking elderly man, named James Lunt, was charged with stabbing a coal-heaver named Cornelius Walker. From the evidence it appeared that some dispute had existed between the prisoner and Walker, and that they met on Friday in a coal-yard at the top of Old Hall-street, when, after some words, the pri soner took out his knife and stabbed Walker in the breast and stomach. Little hopes are entertained of his recovery. The prisoner was remanded. LATEST NEWS FROM THE UNITED STATES.—By the arrival of the England, line of packet-ship, we have New York papers to the 19th June. The only event of importance of which they bring us intelligence, is the ce lebration, by a public procession in the city of Boston, of the completion of the monument erected on Bunker's hill, of which the foundation-stone was laid eighteen years ago. It is calculated that there were about 300,000 people assembled in the streets of Boston, and 200,000 more upon platforms, balconies, and the roofs of houses, amongst whom were the President of the United States, Mr. Webster, and 108 soldiers of the Revolution, who were engaged in the action, most of them, of course, ap proaching the age of 90, and one we perceive nearly 100 years old. Much attention was excited towards this veteran band. After marching in procession through the town, Mr. Webster addressed the vast assemblage, from a platform erected for the occasion, in an oration of great power and beauty, but entirely American in interest. The Columbia arrived at Boston on the morning of the 18th. THREE CASES OF STABBING.—At the police-court yesterday, Antonio Lewis, an Austrian, was committed to the ensuing assizes for stabbing, on Saturday, a sailor of the name of Joseph Carter, who, it appeared, was quar relling with a foreigner, when t he prisoner, to whom he bad hot previously spoken, stabbed him in the thigh. The wound was about two inches long and an inch deep.— William Bown was also committed to the assizes for stab bing a young man of the name of Leesome, near St. John's Market. The case was clearly proved. The complain ant, who was severely wounded on the arm, was taken to the dispensary.—The third case is one in which the pri soner was remanded, there being no evidence but that of the wounded man, who is lying in a dangerous state at the Northern Hospital. Both parties in this case are sailors. DEATH FROM LIGHTNING.—On Thursday last, an in quest was held before Mr. Hayes, at Melling, in this county, on view of the body of William Currie, a child between four and Ave years of age, whose death was oc casioned by lightning. Between five and six o'clock the evening previously, the father and mother of deceased, with their six children, were sitting in the house when the thunder-storm, which visited many places on that evin ing, seemed to concentrate itself with fearful violence in the neighbourhood of Melling. The lightning struck their cottage, breaking the windows of the kitchen, and making a hole through one of the shelves ; it theh passed through the ceiling, and cut its way through the mantle piece, making a passage through the back of the chimney into the next house, where it seems to have ended its very eccentric career by cutting a flitch of bacon to pieces. As soon as Currie and his wife recovered from the mo mentary shock which the explosion occasioned, they found three of the six children who were with them struck to to the ground ; the youngest was quite dead, but the two others recovered after being about an hour in a state of insensibility. The deceased had several wounds on his body—most of them appearing as if they had been scorched. The eldest of the children who were struck, is a girl about eight years old, had a slight wound on her back, and the back of her head was slightly scorched. The jury returned a verdict of died by the visitation of God. SERIOUS CHARGE.-At the Police-court, on Saturday, James Malley, Christopher Malley, and Thomas Malley, three brothers, carrying on business as master ropers, in Lodge-lane, were charged with receiving three bundles of rope-yarns which bad been stolen on the previous even ing from the works of Mr. Moore, which adjoin the pri soners'.—Mr. Davenport appeared for the prisoners.— From the evidence of Mr. Moore it appeared that in consequence of property having been missed from his premises for the last three weeks, he had kept a watch during the night, and on the previous evening two parties were observed to try to break open the door of a store room where the yarn is kept, but not being able to effect it they went away, and shortly after returned with a key. After having opened the door they lit a candle, and picked out three bundles of yarn, weighing from two to three cwts., which they took and dropped into the prisoners' walk. He also stated that he knew the patties who had entered the premises, one of whom had served his ap prenticeship with him. Inspector Stone stated that he had received information of the robbery, and saw the three bundles of yarn as deposited in Malley's walk. He advised the parties to watch it, which they did, and he afterwards found the yarns in a loft on the prisoners' premises, and took the prisoners into custody.—Mr. _ _ kxacusual for them to come before six o'clo c k.

PRESERVATION OF D OCUMENTS FROM FI R E.—It W ill e r i k te e d wa a 6se g i reat deal of interest. The pris oners were re mandedbe remembered that, in January last, Mr. Saml. Woods, jun., with a view to ascertain the respective powers of resistance to fire of several of the most approved patent fire-resisting safes and boxes before the public, procured three boxes of equal dimensions, which he experimentally subjected to the test of strong fires, in a field in the out skirts, before a number of our intelligent and scientific townsmen ; and that the result was highly favourable to the plan of Messrs. Milner and Son, of School-lane, whose safes, in this instance, as well as on trials of others of different sizes, forms, and additional media of resis tance, were found to be greatly superior in preventing documents, and even more ignitable substances, depo sited in them, from being destroyed or injured, even So ciety the details of these experi m e n t s , w hi c h h ave s i nce excited so much general interest, that he h as b een in twhhee public, a h k l e i e n h f e o for afterwards hours before fires. the For in duced to publish, in a neat pamphlet, the su b s t ance o f th e laid Polytechnic y h t e e c h il e a n i e e fi benefit o f paper he then read, together with a great num b er o f tes timonials from individuals in thi s t own , hi g hl y recom mendatory of the principle of fire-resi s t ance di scovere d and applied by Messrs. Milner, w h ose d escr i pt i on, i n their prospectus, they fully bear out,—namely, that these boxes, " for the preservation of gunpowder, ledgers, deeds, cash, plate, jewels, and other valuables, are war ranted to bear more heat, without injury to their con tents, than any other arrangement within equal dimen sions, and, if of not less than one cubic font of inside measurement, to preserve their contents under the ordi nary circumstances of casual fires." As we noticed the principle at some length at the time of the experiments, we need not here revert to it, but refer to the book itself, which supplies all requisite information (with illustrative drawings) on a subject which, from the lamentable fre quency of fires in the town, has recently become one of more and more importance to mercantile men and the community at large. Copies may be had at the pub lisher's, Mr. Marples, at a small price; the proceeds of sale to be given to the Blue Coat School. THUNDER STORM.—During the afternoon of Wednes day last several districts near this town, as well as a num ber of other places were visited by a thunder storm of unusual severity. The lightning in this neighbourhood was very vivid, and the rain fell most copiously. At Hilbre Island hailstones fell measuring four inches in cir cumference, and an inch and a quarter in diameter. At Manchester the storm does not appear to have been felt, whilst at Huddersfield a poor man was struck by the elec tric fluid, and died instantly. Mr. Leech's new mill at Ashton-under-Lyne was struck, and several panes of glass were broke, and portions of three iron pillars which sup ported one of the principals of the roof were forced out in a very singular manner. Several trees were torn up by the roots at the village of Armley, near Leeds, and one of them was carried a considerable distance in the air, and alighting upon a cow, killed her on the spot. One large tree was twisted in two in the centre of the trunk, and the fibres of the wood at the point of separation appeared twisted together like the strands of a rope. The corn was very much battered down in the neighbourhood of Barns ley, and upwards of £5O worth of damage was done to the vinery of the Rev. H. B. Cooke, near that town. At Wombwell, near the latter town, the destruction w as ver y great. Not a w h o l e square of glass' remained. At Leeds much damage was done in the way of windows and glass, and at Sheffield a hundred squares in the old church were destroyed, and the dial in the illuminated clock was de molished. At Derby the electric fluid struck the chim ney of a house in Brook Walk, and descended first into a bedroom, partially forcing the window frame from its place, thence into a lower room from which it escaped by forcing a sash window completely out. The chimney was shattered and broke the roof in its fall, but fortunately no one was injured. The effects of the storm were also felt with more or less severity at Doncaster, Selby, Whitby, Nottingham, Chesterfield, Bradford, Wakefield, Newcas tle-on-Tyne, and other places. The centre of the storm appears to have been Sheffield, where its fury was exces sive. At Rangworthy, near Gloucester, a man was killed by the lightning ; his wife was also struck to the ground, but shortly recovered. We have received a letter from a correspondent at Holywell, from which we learn that pieces of ice measuring two and a half inches in diameter fell. About fifty panes of glass were broken in the paper mill of Mr. J. R. Jones, Afonwen. Cucumber glasses were broken to pieces, and gooseberries were stripped from the trees. NEW WOOD PAVEMENT.—Our town readers will be aware that during the assizes the streets round the Court House have hitherto been laid with bark, to deaden the noise in that busy commercial locality. This plan was not found to be very effectual, particularly in wet weather, and we are glad therefore that the authorities have con tracted with the London' Metropolitan Wood Paving Company for the laying of the four streets round the building with their approved wooden pavement. A num ber of this company's men have accordingly been for some felor b (aeomu e rt ms d g. peed a t wj:c t ti nera t ecs h t bloheeser comparatively oia b le,ci o avrere t aoss o tosti m i Tte: e s c. eooarr t nuok h feae e xbdeow n rft. days engaged, and the process—which is here somewhat n new —has excited considerable interest and curiosity-. The first operation is to remove the ground to the depth of about tlm‘iyolaeeuanirdket sdi elevenanbnpemdoc formingoowg unrd mountain, a aeedt powdery sasi t y i eiae c nnsg h :tmhu e o s bane levelled and smoothed, leaving a gentle rise in the mid- On this is placed a layer of concrete of the lime from the new docks,) coarse gravel and sand, and a considera ble proportion of what is called metallic sand, a dark-co mines. This is laid down to the depth of five inches, and, while in a wet state, accurately levelled to the seg ment it sets, so that it may. be trodden upon vi ) :ithout receiving the impression of the foot; and shortly after and final operation is the laying upon thisof the wooden blocks. These are, in this inst of instance, tough Scotch fir, from Inverness, in Scotland. They six • are inches deep, in perpendicular measurement, when laid ; but being cut at top and bottom on a parallel level, giving them clination or angle of 30 odd degrees, their an r in ; crossing the street are about 64 inches, surfaces conse quently also the length of the fibre or grain '' in i le top arid bottom surfaces of each is generally 5 by 5 inches ; and they run lengthways across • the street, form , ing as viewed laterally parallelograms,• perpendi ul rows, each of which alternately inclines ar way and then ; the other. These blocks are not laid down , , in ordinary pavement, but in conjoint " slabs," or oblong squares of about a yard in area across tha street longitu dinally. In this state they have been - brought from Scot- land, and being of equal width, and close together, they are readily placed so as to span the street, like a tight piece of arch -work between blocks of granite or other stone at each side, which form the abutments. Each block in these slabs is dowelled with two pins to the next sideways, and the outer ones are united and held together with simple clamps of thick iron wire, countersunk so that the next row fits up to them. In this manner all the blocks fit close together, without any intervening sub- su stance. The corners ofeach block are sawn or cut off all round, so as to give a hold for the horses feet, and an an gular groove is also run through the centre of the surface of each of them, for the same purpose. Grooves are thus formed across the street about half an inch deep, and two and a half inches apart, as well as grooves between their upper end surfaces parallel with the street, which will probably give the horses a good footing in dragging heavy weights. This pavement is also comparatively smooth and pleasant for the pedestrian ; and if it be found equally safe during frost, (which ex l triers : alone can show,) will be all that can be desired. hard d\tttaiTa: I:aenfcl hedes ase: MAD D0G5....-{hi .seu-Rri-F-at--the police-eo°` old the a p e r t op if ri t e h t e y do gs inf ormations were heard against individuals ,00 ,j, dogs to be at large.
