The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, anti this after the ablest vice and every other Means had completely failed, most *ustly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so un rsally esteemed, is unat +tended with the least danger or convenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and - . utary effects since it was first introduced; and such are .she properties of this invaluable Specific that persons :nring under the most distressing Rh eum atism, Rheut+ + Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapabl f assisting themselves, have been relieved in .a few hours. Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow ing,testimonials Well-street, Cripplegate. R ,—I have been several weeps confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from!my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant :.not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made tnown to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear ; in a,week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will pleaseto send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,— D. W. STONE. itorlen's Hotel. Strand, 18th August, 1846. Sin,---1 have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most erninent Physicians of London and Paris, .I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion.' I think it in gratitude dueto you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a abort but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom from pain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I Base not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, HENRI VILIENNEVI3. 14, Belmont-place, Trandemorth-road, Oct. 26, 1844. SIR, I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours.

Price, Wavertreg COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL SUMMARY. No change of importance has taken place in the aspect of commercial affairs here this week, and we are glad to observe that the large failure, which we announced in our last as having occurred in London, has not been followed by any further casualties of a serious character. Little doubt is entertained, however, that all classes of com mercial men must look forward to very difficult times until Christmas is fairly turned; and especially this is the case with the trading middle classes, upon whom the pressure just now is very severe. In the manufacturing districts an improved feeling exists, and in several of the towns around Manchester the mills are slowly resuming operation. It is known that the stocks of goods in foreign markets, and in the hands of dealers at home, are becoming very light ; and, with a probably early reduction of the rate of discount by the banks, it is hoped that the large orders, which have 'for some time been lying on hand, may at length be executed at a profit. The Cam bria, we learn, brought very favourable accounts and considerable orders for the American spring trade. That country is reported as filled with prosperity, the result of the large amount of British capital which her merchants and manufacturers have been drawing from us during the last twelve months ; and it is hoped that in a while we shall see a portion of it returning to set to work our dis tressed artizans. _ _ _ There is still ittle abatement in the pressure for money in the metropolis or elsewhere, and interest still maintains its high rate. There is, however, greater disposition to invest both in produce, in the leading railway shares, and other securities, for which something like fixed prices are now obtainable. Our cotton market was operated upon at the com mencement of the week by the favourable advices received per Cambria of the prospects of the growing crop, and prices at the close may be. noted Id. lower. The sales for the week have been 22,430 bales, of which 3500 are far export, and 1000 for speculation. The imports have been very light. The corn markets throughout the country have again declined from is. to 2s. per quarter, with little business doing. Gold continues to arrive from all quarters. Exclusive of the import of £400,000 by the Rob Roy steamer, we have received during the past week not less than £ 250,000 , and we learn that a further sum of £200,000 is now on its way, on account of a private capitalist, %pm St. Peters burgh, by land to Ostend. Its arrival expected. These large remittances from St. Petersburgh are under stood to have a connection with further investments in the public funds on the part of the St. Petersburgh Bank. The failure of Messrs. Trueinan and Cook, the exten sive brokers in London, has caused great sensation. The liabilities are set down at £300,000 to £350,000. That is the amount of their actual acceptances ; but the full amount of their liabilities, at least the amount for which their names figure as parties to advance on produce, is some two millions. As.to the ultimate result of what the estate will produce, opinions are very various. By some, who ought to know, it is confidently asserted that not only will all parties be paid in full, but that a very large surplus will remain to the partners ; whilst amongst others the most sanguine expectations that are formed is that it will pay 15s. in the pound. In the meantime, the new firm continues the business without interruption; indeed, it was of such a magnitude, that it. could not have been entirely suspended without much inconvenience, and was, at the same time, of such a nature, that it can easily be transacted without interfering with existing obligations. A fact has been recently communicated to us, which we think worth mentioning here, as showing the tendency of gold to flow into this country. During the last fortnight, some rather considerable sums in English sovereigns, just imported, have been brought to this town by buyers of goods from different parts of the continent, and have been lodged, to meet-their purchases, in the hands of bankers. here. There has been much variation in the market for public securities since our last, but considering the failures that have occurred, it is remarkable that prices should have stood their ground so well. There has been a great scarcity of money both in thg Stock Exchange and out of doors, within the last day or two ; the discount business transacted by the bill-brokers is almost entirely suspended, and the Bank of England continues most stringent in its operations. Some paper of short dates has been done by the discount houses at the rate of 71 per cent, but with a charge for , commission, &c. which brines the actual rate up to abont'9 per cent. In no instance do the banks dis count under 8 per cent. and the great majority of them run from %to 9 per cent. Within a few days some bills have beentaken at the rate of 7 percent. on the condition that the money will be returned when wanted, which is literally following up the principle of keeping it at the op tion of the lender only till it is wanted, and which, irothe very nature of things, precludes the possibility of reliance being placed on its application to regular consecutive in dustry. It is apprehended that several of the fallen houses whose affairs, as arranged at the meetings of their creditors,-were permitted to be wound up by themselves under inspec tion, will be compelled to go into the Gazette. There is no power to compel creditors to agree to the arrangement ; and there is scarcely a case in which preferences have not been claimed by some of the creditors, under a threat, ei ther direct or implied, of striking a docket against them. Nobody, indeed, that has ever had any experience of the difficulty of obtaining the consent of any considerable body• of creditors to a composition has expected any other result. There was little fluctuation on Wednesday 'in the English funds, and the closing prices of the preceding day were maintained. Consols for money and account opened at 841 to 4, advanced to 844- buyers, and then receded and left off at their first quotation. Bank Stock closed 187 to 189; Reduced Three per Cents. 82 to ; Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. 844 to 4 ; Long Annuities, S 4 to ; South - -Sea Stock, 93 ; South Sea Old Annuities, 80; : India-Stock, 230 to 233 ; India Bonds, 255. to los. dis. ; and B-Achequer Bills, 2s. dis. to ls. premium. The English funds opened on Thursday morning with an appearance of firmness, but the market was net well sustained, The first quotation of Consols, for money and the account, was 841 to 4, whence, under the influence of some large sales, they declined to 834. Before the close of business, however, a slight reaction occurred, and the last price was 831 to 84. For the opening, in January, the range was from 844 to 841, and they left of 84k. Bank Stock closed 187 to 189 ; Reduced Three per Cents. 824 to ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 84 to 4- ; India Stock, 231 to 233 India Bonds, 30s. to 235. dis., and Exchequer Bills, Is. dis. to ls. premium. On Friday there was a sudden reaction, and prices at the opening of business rapidly descended one per cent., and recovered almost as rapidly afterwards. The tenor of the accounts from Switzerland was the cause of the fall which, when accomplished, induced buyers to enter the market to arrange outstanding bargains. At the close of the day, Consols, after being as low as 834, left off about fi4B, with a firm tendency. Bank Stock closed 187 to 189 ; and Exchequer Bills, 2 dis to par. On Saturday consols were 841, 4, 4. The ,new three and-a-half per cents. are 844 to 841. Bank stock is at 188, and :India stock 234. Exchequer bills are at ls. to 3s. discount. The failure of Mr. John Williams, ajobber of some note in the Stock Exchange, has had an effect upon the market, as he was understood to have been spe culating recently for a fall, but still there is no marked feature upon it. consequently The Bank returns, :of note sin published the bainnkFinrgiddaey; s ar G tm az e e n ti t, e, w s h h i o c w h something of that increase in the stock of bullion, and it has been -the object of the late measures to produce. The amounts are thus given : Gold coin and bullion 7,647,707 1 Silver bullion 1,200,668 Gold and , silver coin £9,258,520 Last week the total was £8,729,551. The increase, therefore, is 4528,969 in the week. The stock of notes is still more rapidly increasing. It stood, Nov. 6. Nov. 13. Increase, , . £767,625 The overland mail which reached London yesterday (Monday), brings late news from China, India, and Egypt. During the month of-September a fair business had been done at Canton. About 122,000 bales of raw cotton had been sold at rather better prices ; about 80,000 pieces of longcloths disposed of ; grays from 42.20 to 82.65 ; white, 44'2.40 to , 82.50. The prices of yarn had declined, and the stock was heavy. Exchange .on England was 4s. 3'd. to 4s. 4d. ; East India Company's Bills accepted, 214. Freights, £5 to £4 155., with plenty of tonnage. The following is the amount of export of tea from China to Great Britain, from the Ist of July to the date of our advices,— Black 10,714,410 Green .. 904,160 11,698,570 About 4,000 bales of silk were estimated to be shipped from Shanghae and Canton for England. The latest dates received at Canton were—from Lon don, July 24 ; Calcutta, August 16; Bombay, August 12; Singapore, September 7 ; and Manilla, the 17th. Our dates from Shangbae are to the 12th September. Long-cloths had declined, the stock being large. In teas there were limited purchases —none fine. In silk a brisk demand ; prices bad advanced about 12 per cent. from the favourable reports of the June mail ; but fine was not procurable ; for the best Tsatlee, g4lO to 8420 offered.; Taysaam, 280 to 290. Freights, £6 10s. to £7. The Confucius and Francis Burn were ready for sea, and the Achilles was to sail about the 28th September. We have dates from Amoy to the 24th. Markets were generally steady, with a fair supply of goods. From Egypt we learn that the trade of Alexandria has been quite paralyzed by the bad accounts received by the last mails from Englabd and the numerous failures that have occurred there. The merchants no longer knew whom to trust. Prices of produce were quite nominal, as the holders preferred waiting to submitting to a reduction. In cotton nothing had been done, but there was no doubt that prices would rule low. The exchanges were getting up, and foreign coins, especially sovereigns, were in great request. The Markets at Bombay were much the same as in the preceding- fortnight; in that for imports a little more animation was exhibited, with a partial tendency to im provement in prices, whilst the export one is without change. A good and rather general inquiry prevailed for piece goods, and the sales were large, but pieces were without change. A fair amount of business was done in cotton yarn. The briskness noticed on the 17th Sep. as animating the Calcutta market, has been well sustained, owing chiefly to the abundance of tonnage in the port, and the fall in freights. In imports less was doing than usual at the period of the year. Nevertheless a fair business bad been done in some descriptions of British cotton goods and woollens. Copper and spelter had been in good enquiry ; the former at advanced prices. The money market con tinued easy, but latterly some indications of a diminished supply had been evinced by a less disposition on the part of the shroffs in the bazaar to do business at the rates which have lately prevailed, and by declining to renew loans forcing borrowers to resort to the banks, which continue to find ample employment at their former rates. Government Securities had declined a little in value, owing to money being less free in the bazaar. Exchange remained without any material alteration. A good amount of bills changed bands at Is. 11d. to ls. 110. six months' sight, and ls. 11 d. ten months' date, during the first ten days after the departure of the mail, but during the last week nothing has been done of any importance. The abundance of tonnage in the port has caused freights to give way, and the downward tendency formerly noticed has been confirmed, transactions having taken place at £6 to £6 15s. for saltpetre, sugar, and rice. There is not much probability of any further decline for the present. The crop of Indigo was estimated at 113,000 maunds. The transactions in sugar had been extensive at full prices. The native plantations at Benores give promise of an adundant crop. The exports in September to Great Britain were 155,620 maunds. In Exchange, a considerable amount of business was done at last quotations in bills on England after the departure of the mail, but during the past and present week, buyers have been holding back, and little has since been transacted. The amount received by the mail, per Precursor, in bills on the General Treasury is stated to be £63,185. A good many operations have taken place in bills on China. Our quotations are ls. Hid. to ls. ii d. for 6 months' sight, and ls. 111 d. to ls. 11 id. for 10 months date ; hills on England, and on China 209 rs. to 214 per 100 dollars. In Freights, the tendency was downwards. Tonnage was abundant. The freights to Liverpool were from £6 to £6 15s. LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. FIVE DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA. By the arrival of the Ocean Monarch, which sailed on the sth inst. from Boston, we have New York papers to the 4th. The news, however, are very meagre. In New York, the " Empire State," the Whigs have possession of the control of affairsi ; and in New Jersey, both the candidates elected are Whigs. The arrival of the Caledonia was hourly expected ; but she had not been telegraphed up to the time of the Ocean Monarch sailing. The French Steamer had just arrived. The market generally was inactive, parties being indis posed to operate until the receipt of news from Europe per Caledonia. The season was propitious for the keep ing open of the river and canal navigation ; and it was anticipated that the receipts of produce from the interior would be on an increasing scale. The cotton market was dull, and in favour of the buyers. The arrival of the Caledonia was anxiously looked for as the test of this market. In flour, Western Canal was steady in New York, at .W 5.60 to $`6.62}. Corn was firm at 75 to 78 cents. 1500 bai7rels of Pennsylvania corn meal had been sold at 431.44 to 53.50 per barrel. Ashes were scarce and in demand at 4N.621 to £8.75. From Baltimore we have flour quoted at 6.121 to .66.181 for Howard-street flour. In Boston the market was less firm. A lot of Oswego, Gennessee, and Western had been sold at 56.75 to S 7. In Philadelphia flour ruled at 56.50 to S 6.621; sales limited. Good Pennsylvania wheat was worth 140 cents. In Exchange nothing was doing; and no variation had taken place since the departure of the Cambria. There was nothing new from the seat of War. An express refusal of Martin Van Buren to stand again for thePresidentship, on the ground that the war against that country, with whatever shew of justice entered upon, must now be prosecuted to a triumphant conclusion for the honor of America, indicates sufficiently the feeling of that section of the community which that gentleman would represent.

We have received by express from Marseilles our letters from India, China, and Egypt, in anticipation of the Overland Mail of the 15th of October. The dates are from Calcutta to the 3d, Madras to the Bth, and Bombay to the 15th of October; from Shanghae to the 12th, and from Hong-Kong to the 29th of September, and from Alexandria to the 9th instant. The Governor-General of India had put off his departure from the hills, and was not expected to reach Calcutta until after the arrival of his successor. If this information be correct—and we have it on good authority—it is tanta mount to an acknowledgment that the arrangements said to have been contemplated with regard to Oude will not for the present be entered upon. In Scinde the commissioner had commenced his duties It is intended to retain intact the military appointments in civil offices of administration made by Sir Charles Napier. The governor of Bombay will not visit Scinde until about Christmas. A tender had been made by the superintendent of the India navy for the conveyance of mails by steam-vessels three times in the month between Bombay and Kurrachee during the fine season. There is nothing new from the north-west portion of India. Mr. Lawrence had succeeded his brother, Col. Lawrence, as resident in the Punjaub. Our authorities were there on the alert in consequence of the approaching festival of the Dussera, hitherto a season of frightful dis order among the Sikhs, bat every precaution had been taken, and no fears were_ entertained that the public peace would be endangered. Another rapid travesty had taken place in the charac ters of the drama at Nepaul. The personage who, within the last few months, had undertaken the shifting parts of kingly pilgrim, invader of his former dominions, and more recently, of state prisoner, had found means to out-ma nceuvre his adversaries, and to resume his crown. The old Vizier had been confined in a tiger's cage. These movements have not altered our relations with Nepaul, or had any effect beyond the mountain range which is the scene of their action. The foundation-stone was about to be laid of a church at Bombay, to be erected in memory of the officers and men who perished in Atlghanistan. Trade had, it appears, .somewhat improved in the presidences. Another disaster had befallen the Indian navy. The steamer Indus left Bombay, Sor Kurrachee, on the sth of October, and on the 7th she struck on some rocks thirty miles from Diu-head. A large hole was made in her bottom. The crew and passengers are safe. Our dates from Hongkong are to the 29th of Sep tember. The state of affairs in Canton Appeared more satisfac tory, and general quiet prevailed ; confidence seemed in a great measure restored,—money was more easy, with greater activity in trade. The prices in some articles had improved, but in general imports were low. The colonial government seemed to think well of the posture of affairs, for tenders had been advertised for ships to convey the 42nd native regiment to Madras, and the 18th royal Irish to Calcutta, leaving the colony with a part only of the 95th and the Ceylon rifles, which may be considered a small garrison. The French men-of-war ) La Claire and La Victorieuse, reported by the last mail to have sailed north, were both wrecked off the island of Ko-koon-to, off Corea, in lat. 35,47, long. 126.21, on the 10th of August, about 300 ms frOm Shanghae, to which place two boats were despatched. SPAIN. The session of the Cortes met on the 15th instant, when the Queen opened the Chambers with a speech from the Throne. Her Majesty said "it was most satis factory to announce that the pending negotiations with the Court of Rome—the presence of an apostolic delegate in Spain powerfully contributing towards this result—are approaching a happy termination, such as becomes the paternal solicitude, and the well known enlightened cha racter of the common head of the church, and the piety and feelings of a people eminently Catholic." Among " the projects of admitted urgency " to be submitted, her Majesty mentions " the means by which a definite and suitable provision for the clergy and public worship has to be regulated," and another " which will determine the privileges and frights of the press according to the safest principles, and the best constitutional doctrines." On her Majesty passing through the streets, every one remarked how thin, careworn, and even haggard she looked ; and though, when she entered the Chamber, a flush overspread her countenance, yet an expression of sadness was still observable. The display was, as usual, brilliant. Stars, uniforms, embroideries, and ribands were in great abundance, and the lace on Narvaez' coat alone, with his stars and dia monds, might have gone a good way towards paying a half year's dividend of the Three per Cents. LATEST FROM SWITZERLAND. Advices from Berne of the 18th instant state, that on reaching Friburg, in the evening of the 15th, the federal representatives had a long conference with Col. Rilliet, who commands the division of occupation. The greatest disorder and anarchy prevailed in the canton wherever there were no federal troops. The government stated that it was determined on every sacrifice rather than yield, if those to whom it had confided the defence of the country had not declared all resistance impossible. The effective force of the federal army amounted to 94,000 men. La Suisse, Berne journal of the 18th, announces that Lucerne was completely invested, and that its govern ment appeared disposed to surrender. • The Helatie, of the 18th, states that the federal army was in possession of the country round Lucerne, and had already made 1200 prisoners. Zug was believed to have been already occupied. The Ticinese, on the other hand, had been repulsed by the men of Uri, in an attack against St. Gothard, with a loss of 27 killed. The Union Bank of Madrid has stopped payment. It was established about two years since, professedly with the view to introduce, as far as possible, the system fol lowed by English bankers. The capital was £600,000, on which dividends of six per cent have been hitherto paid. it is said that the hedgehog is proof against poisons. Mr. Pallas states that it will eat a hundred cantharides without receiving any injury. More recently, a German physician, who wished to dissect one, gave it prussic acid, j opium, and corrosive sublimate, with the same results. A MONKEY STRATAGEM.—A monkey tied to a stake was robbed by the Johnny Crows (in the West Indies) of his food, and he conceived the following plan of punishing the thieves. He feigned death, and lay perfectly motion less on the ground, near to his stake. The birds ap preached by degrees, and got near enough to steal his , food, which he allowed them to do. This lie repeated several times, till they became so bold RE to come within the reach of his claws. He calculated his distance, and laid hold of one of them. Death was not his plan of punishment. lie was more refined in his cruelty. He plucked every feather out of the bird, and then let him go and show himself to his c om p an i on s. He made a man of him, according to the ancient definition of a " biped without feathers. "--Couch on Instinct. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL. Yesterday a special meeting of the Town Council was held. There was a numerous attendance. The first business of the meeting was the appointment of six members of the Council to the Dock Committee, in the place of those going out of office. Mr. G. H. Lowrance proposed Mr. George Holt, which was seconded.—Messrs. Bromley Moore, Nicol, Chilton. and Molyneux were then proposed and seconded.—On Mr. Robinson's name being proposed, Mr. Tinne said that he thought it would not be desirable to elect that gentleman ' as he was already on several other commit tees. He had otherwise no objection to Mr. Robinson. —The Mayor bore testimony to the manner in which Mr. Robinson had uniformly discharged his duties. Messrs. George Holt, Bramley-Moore, Nicol, Chilton, Molyneux, and Robinson were then unanimously elected members of the committee. The Council next proceeded to the election of a chair man to the Dock Committee. Mr. MAXN, in rising to - move the re-appointment of Mr. Bramley-Moore, said that he felt considerable relief in performing the task assigned to him, inasmuch as Mr. Moore's merits were so well known and appreciated by the Council. In proposing that gentleman for re-election, as the chairman of the Dock Committee, he availed him self of the opportunity which it afforded him, of bearing his testimony to the great ability and uniform courtesy which had ever distinguished Mr. Moore's conduct in dis charging the important duties of the situation he had held. (Hear, hear.) When, four years ago, Mr. Moore was for the first time elected as chairman of the Dock Committee, the tonnage of the port was 2,400,000, and the receipts £lBO,OOO. At the present time the tonnage was 3,400,000, and the receipts upwards of £240,000, being an increase of one million in the tonnage, and £60.000 in the receipts; and, in addition to this, he might say that, since the 24th of June last, which was the commencement of the dock year, the increase had been in a still greater ratio. (Hear.) He was not going to say that that increase was altogether to be attributed to the exertions of the Dock Chairman, but he would say that by his attention, as the chairman, and his general activity, he had brought about a great in crease in the business of the port. (Applause.) Not withstanding the greatly increased facilities which had been caused by the opening of the Albert Dock, their dock accommodation had still been found to be deficient, and the works now in progress at the north end of the town were in consequence commenced, the great credit of which was mainly due to Mr. Moore. (Hear, hear.) That dock extension would give them an additional area of eighty acres, and also give the public the benefit of the connexion which was forming with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. (Hear.) It was expected that the works would be opened next spring. Great credit was due to Mr. Moore for the manner in which he bad forwarded the Wapping scheme. By that a complete junction would be formed with the whole of the docks, both at the north and south end of the town, facilities equivalent to the traffic would be opened, which would not only be a great benefit of the dock estate, but also to the town generally. ( Heer, hear.) So much for the past : now a . few words as to the f u t ure : —M r . M oore ' s i nt i mate acquaintance with the dock estate and the present position of the works in progress, rendered it most desirable that he should occupy his former position. (Applause.) But there were other and more important considerations which should induce the Council to retain the services of Mr. Moore. He alluded to the parliamentary business of the trust. The trustees were now before parliament, having given notice of their intention to apply for a bill in con nexion with the docks. Other parties, not very friendly to the Liverpool dock estate, had also given notice to par liament respecting a bill which involved powers of a mos t extraordinary nature ; powers which, if obtained, wo u ld injuriously interfere with every Liverpool dock. In re ference to this subject, from the manner in which Mr. Moore had hitherto protected their interests, he thought the Council would have grounds to congratulate itself on having his able services as well as those of the deputy chairman, Mr. Nicol, for the ensuing year. The manage ment of the docks could not, he thought, be in better hands, not only for the benefit of the estate itself, but also for that of the town at large. He had, therefore, great pleasure in proposing Mr. Moore as chairman of the dock committee for the ensuing year. ( Loud cheers.) Mr. BUSHBY had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Mr. Moore's services were so well known, that he (Mr. B.) thought he would have the unanimous voice of the council in his favor, and he was sure that the public also would highly approve of the choice made by the council. The MAYOR then said—Mr. Moore has been proposed and seconded as the chairman of the dock estate for the ensuing year. Is it the pleasure of the council that he should be elected ? The resolution was met by the unanimous approval of the council. The MAYOR.—The next business of the council is— Mr. MOORE.—AIIow me for a few moments to inter rupt the regular business of the meeting—Permit me to return you my most sincere thanks for electing me for the third time as chairman of the Dock Committee. I can assure you that I will endeavour to discharge the duties - of the situation to the best of my ability. I have no other object in view than the benefit of the estate ; and the same vigour which I have hitherto pursued shall again be exercised. I; beg, again, to thank the council for the confidence reposed in me, and for the honor it has conferred upon me. (Applause.) THE COUNCIL AND RECORDER.—CLAIMS FOR COMPEN SATION UNDER THE SANATORY ACT. The MAYOR said, the council had next to take into consideration the orders made by the Court of Quarter Sessions in reference to the appeal against the decision of the Council, by the several parties affected by the Sanatory Act. Mr. DRIFFIELD read the judgment of the Recorder on the appeals against the decision of the Council, award ing compensation to the amount of £lO,OOO to Messrs. Snowball, Deane, and the rest of the officers whose claims the Corporation had resisted. The MAYOR said a memorial had been sent to the Council in reference to Mr. Snowball's claim, which the Town-clerk would read to the meeting. The TOWN-CLERK then read the memorial. It was from the burgesses of North and South Toxteth Wards, and prayed the Council not to sanction the large sum awarded by the Recorder to Mr. Snowball, denying that the loss of the office which he had held previous to the passing of the Sanatory Bill, entitled him to the compen sation awerded. The memorialists contended that his salary of £lOO per annum was the only amount of emolu ment upon which he could claim compensation. The parliamentary business which it was contended he had lost, was in reality not connected with his office of law-clerk. The Recorder, in his decision, seemed to have been influ enced by the notion that the offices were one and the same, whilst in reality Mr. Snowball's bills for parliamentary busi ness had always been kept distinct from his salary. The memorialists concluded by stating that as the amount of compensation would fall upon themselves, they hoped the Council would take every means to resist it. In answer to a question from Mr. S. Holme, the MAYOR stated that the memorial was numerously and very respectably signed. A somewhat desultory conver sation here arose, in the course of which The MAYOR observed that perhaps the Council would think it right to refer the matter to the Health Commit tee._ Mr. HARBORD said he knew not whether or not he might be considered out of order, but he was certainly anxious to say a few words upon the subject. He had taken an active part in the affairs of Toxteth-park; and he begged to say that on the part of the burgesses of the North and South Toxteth Wards he was prepared to re sist to the utmost the attempted imposition upon them of the compensation which had been awarded to Mr. Snow ball and others. He would not allude to Mr. Dean's case, but confine himself to the affairs of Toxteth-park. Mr. Harbord then at very great length went into the par ticulars of the case as it referred to the inhabitants of Toxteth-park. Some time before the sanatory bill was applied for, certain gentlemen in Toxteth-park had stated that it was advisable for the interests of the township and the public that there should be an alteration in the mode of managing the affairs of that district. An amalgamation between the various authorities was suggested as the first step to be taken. The board of commissioners and poor law authorities did amalgamate, and in consequence certain officers were considered not to be any longer necessary. They were discharged accordingly, and now they wished the rate-payers of Toxteth-park to pay them a large sum, in consequence of losing their situations. Some of them were retained as the servants of the joint board, and amongst them was Mr. M'Aucliffe, at a salai y of £2OO per year, £lOO being paid by the commissioners and £lOO by the overseers. This person was one of those who now claimed compensation, enjoying, though he did, his salary of £2OO per year, and never having been, even for one day, removed from his o ffi ce . The only difference, indeed, between his present and former position was this, that formerly he had £2OO with something to do for it, and now at least two-thirds of his former labours had been removed. That a person so situated should have had awarded the sum of £3OO was most astonishing. He cast no imputation on the recorder. As the case Itod. been laid before him, he, no doubt, thought in the exec= - cise of his judgment, that these parties were entitled to the compensation which he had awarded, but he (Mr. Harbord) thought the law and justice of the case were irreconcileable. Mr. Rogers, another of those who had had compensation awarded him, was at the present mo ment engaged in the same office which he held before the passing of the act, never having left it for one d a y. M r. Harbord continued to speak at great length in explanation of the manner in which the sanatory bill had been ob tained, and the conduct of Mr. Snowball and others, iu reference to it, and concluded by suggesting that the claims should be referred to a Select Committee of the council, and thoroughly investigated. In answer to a question from Mr. S. llolme, the TOWN CLERK said that the decision might be appealed against, and the case taken before the Queen's Bench by a writ of certiorari, Mr. HORNBY suggested that the subject should be re ferred to the Health Committee. With reference to Mr. M'Aucliffe's claim, lie understood that a written commu nanicyaticolanimwasfotor h c a o N n , e lp b e e n e s n a o ti b o t n a . i n e l d i f i r a o t n eo i , u relinquishing any claim for compensation. That communication, he had since learned, was not got. The Committee had negfleencrteed, be, b neglected to attend the claim ndtoit, a:7lodult(liaebacveentsco begu p ence aTd wou i j ir. d,. he Hornby then moved that the subject be referred to the Health Committee, which, after some fu r the r di scuss i on ,. was carried, and the Council adjourned. THE WEATHER.—It is now well nigh a month since we have had a drop of rain. Day after day the sun rises and sets, and the stars come out in' a sky of peerless lustre, unflecked by a single cloud. The dust in our streets, as a matter of course, is bzcoming more and more annoying. Haw changed from the late summer months ! In eleven days of July last, there fell twenty and a-half inches of rain by the gum , ! a supply for six months ; and of this rain ten inches fell in three hours !—Sar. Republican of 13th October. / //
