His hand was ever open to the call of benevolence; and hundreds whom he has left be hind him have reason to attribute to his bounty much of the comfort of which they are in tl ae en- joyment. He was one of the originators of the Collegiate Institution ; and to his exertions and influence the success of the effort to found that valuable institution is greatly indebted. He was also a liberal supporter of the Blue School; and, indeed, of every local institution or work ,which had for its object the benefit of his fellow human, beings. The endeavours made to promote an im provement of the health of the town had, in him, an active labourer, until within the last few months, when the state of his own health imposed upon him the necessity of a temporary sojourn in a place (Cheltenham,) which he always found to agree with his constitution better than Liverpool. .H e was a warm friend of the Church of England, and actively suj ,ported every e fort to maintain anc end its efficiency Mr. Aspinall vas a Tory of the old school, never swerving from his consistency to follow the doc trines of expediency, or hestating to devote to the cause his means or his mental and bodily energies. He was the life and soul of many of our most keenly contested elections; and as chairman, for many years, of the committee for Castle-street Ward, his exertions, and the tact with which they were put forth, will be remembered by many who worked with him, poor as well as rich. To the former, in particular, he was always most approach able. He was a member of the old Corporation, and in 1835 was Mayor of Liverpool, which office he held over the year, vacating it only' when the new body came into power. In 1841 he entered the Council again as a member for Pitt-street Ward, defeating one of the most popular men of the the Whig party, Mr. Hugh Plornby, by a raaj of 42. In 1844 he presented himself for re-election, and, although the ward had, in the previous year, the es ion in which was held ie electors of all classes and shades of opinion, that Mr. Aspinall's return was unopposed. We believe it was his intention to retire from the Council at the next November election. The colour was placed half mast at the Town Hall, the Parish Church, and other public build- amongs ings, in honour of the deceased The funeral, we understand, is to take place to-morrow (Wednesday); and his body is to be deposited in the churchyard of Wavertree.

Our contemporary thinks there must be some miss prehension on his part, and is sure that the Reverend Doctor did not intend to imply "a doubt of the correctness of our statement." alas ! when people begin to throw stones or mud, and lose the command of their temper and discretion, they sometimes hit those whom they would least attempt to injure. In his abuse of us, he terms our version of the disputed passage as "a tinkered and nonsensical perversion of the lecture." Yet it is that very tinkered and non sensical perversion which the Reverend Doctor himself has adopted and has printed, as conveying the he expression of his opinion and meaning. Indeed, our contemporary himself, with an amusing fulness of what he had previously been at the close of his remarks sufficient to have warranted any one in so "With regard," he says, " to what the reverend doctor meant to say at the Amphitheatre. we have met with but one opinion, either amongst parties who heard the lecture iongst those who have read it. That opinion is, that as willing to have but one member Conservative, ___ded that both were Protestant. This was the idea in his mind. The proposition is'a good one, and consist ent with the soundest wisdom in the present crisis of affairs, when the points at issue between Conservatives and Liberals are insignificant, but when everything de pends upon the great point at issue between Protestantism and Popery." - This is precisely our case. A proposition to waive the question of Conservatism in the case of one member without securing Protestantism in both would have been utter absurdity, inconsistent with the whole tenor of the lecture, and of the object he had in view. WE present our readers with a verbatim report of the able speech of Mr. Alderman Bramley- Moore, yesterday, in introducing to the Council certainly the most important proposition, as affect- Tests of Liver which was ever addressed to that body. Although not re ceived without some slight objections by those to whom it was made—although its liberality and its bold and comprehensive character seemed to have staggered some of the more timid spirits in the Council—we have not a doubt that it will be re ceived by the public out of doors with gratitude and universal satisfaction, and win for the Dock Committee and their able Chairman an ample meed of the gratitude of this community. At the late hour at which we write, it is not our intention to enter into any examination of the merits or alleged demerits of the plan. In honest truth, the Dock Chairinap has so completely exhausted the subject that anything beyond giving a faithful report of his speech is quite surplusage. THE LIVEftPOOL 81ANDARD. LITERARY CZMNEM - NOTICE, The Church and the Churches ; or, the Church of Cod in Christ, and the Churches of Christ Militant here on Earth. By the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, D. D., Hon. Canon of Chester, and Incumbent of St. Jude's, Liver pool. London : Seeley, Burnside, and Seeley, Fleet street ; and Seeley's, Hanover-street, Hanover-square. We rejoice to see that a second edition of this valuable work has been printed, reduced in size and price, and thus placed within reach of another and larger class of readers. This edition contains a new preface, in refutation of the only objection to his book, which had reached the reverend author. He says, that "as yet he has met with no attempt, by either Romanist or tractarian, to gainsay the conclusions he has arrived at." It is good policy to be silent, when an answer is inconvenient or impracticable; and certainly, in the present state of the controversy in this country, the dead silence of all adversaries for a year, after such a book from such a man, is no small testimony to the power and conclusiveness of the author's reasoning. We ourselves have heard an attempt made, not indeed to answer the book, but to disparage the man. The ready cavil is, that Dr. M`Neile wishes to alter the Prayer Book, placing some passages in brackets ; and this without fur ther explanation, is used to create a damaging prejudice against him. This is the .more inexcusable, because his proposal is accompanied with the explanation, which, while it attests his own thorough churchmanship, proves also the Chris tian tenderness of his feelings towards others. Speaking of the required declaration of unfeigned assent and con sent to anything prescribed by the Book of Common Prayer, he says : " There is a wide difference between disapproving of this declaration ourselves, and disapproving of its enforce ment on others. It is not because of any personal re pugnance to it, that we deprecate its enforcement. In fact, it exercises no force upon us ; we make it with per fect freedom, so far as our own individual feelings are con ' cerned. But others, and truly devoted Christians, can not view it as we do, and we most highly disapprove of compelling such men either to submit to it with wounded consciences and injured self-respect, or to separate them selves from the National Church."— The Church and the Churches, p.p., 86-87, first edition. Here we discover the mind of a man who is not sel fishly content to attend to his own things, but who, with a genuine Catholic spirit, feels also for the things of others. It should be remembered, also, that Dr. M'Neile's proposal did not involve any alteration in the Prayer Book. When he first made it, it was prefaced thus : " The suggestion which I venture to make has this advan tage, that it would not erase a word, nor add a word, nor alter a word, in any of our services."—Lectures on the Church, first edition, p. 247. If a true Churchman be one, who, not content with cordially approving of the Book of Common Prayer him self, is devoid of any feelings of kindness or consideration for those who cannot conscientiously agree with him ; if such narrow selfishness, such excommunicating bigotry, be indispensible to genuine churchmanship, then we readily grant that Dr. M`Neile is not a genuine churchman. He certainly is not of that one-eyed hard-hearted school. But if a churchman be one who altogether prefers, faithfully ad ministers, and ably defends the Book of Common Prayer, while at the, same time he frankly avows his willingness and even his anxiety to abate somewhat of his own indi vidual preference for the sake of the extended unity and increased efficiency of the Church, then Dr. M`Neile is a churchman of whom all Christian members of our Esta blishment may justly be proud. If the Christian laity of the kingdom are to be made warm friends and liberal supporters of the English Church ; if they are to be induced to make pecuniary sacrifices for the sake of multiplying her temples and endowing her ministers, it must be done mainly by such churchmen as Dr. M`Neile. The following passage from the second edition of " The Church and the Churches," pp. 504, 505, will at this moment be read with interest : " Under such circumstances, is it not plainly impracti cable to separate our political acts from our religious principles and motives ; our duty towards our fellow-men from our duty tower& God ? Where is the anatomist in theology, or in the metaphysics of public and private mo rality, who can trace the line of separation between the religious principle which secures 'just weights and mea sures' in the shop ; and the absence,of it, which utterly dissociates religion and politics at the hustings ? If it be alleged that religion has nothing to do with ' just weights and measures,' then, upon the principle which separates morality from religion, I quite agree that it is consistent to separate politics from religion. This is to make reli gion an exotic indeed, so delicate as—it is to be feared — to be at the withering point unto death. The man, or the nation, who puts away a good conscience towards God in his outward duties, of whatsoever kind, will, with awful certainty, make shipwreck concerning faith. If religion be not welcomed and entertained as the practical guide of life, both public and private, she will refuse to remain among men as a visitor, or a vision to be made a conve nience of, for hypocrisy or deceit. If the revealed will of God be discarded by rulers, as no longer practicable be cause of the varieties of conflicting opinions among men ; what have a set of servants' to expect, who while endea vouring to please one another for present ease, are all com bined in a course displeasing to their master ? I do not mean to say that every interference with the British con stitution, as it now is, must be offensive to God. I ad vance no such untenable position. No arrangement of human sagacity, however wisely constructed, can with safety be pronounced perfect. The distribution of power between the various estates of the realm, which has wrought so well. and under which the country has so wonderfully prospered, may possibly have been improved by those recent changes which have very decidedly turned the balance in favour of popular influence, and I will not take upon me to say, that—all things considered—still further changes in the same direction might not be made, leading to still greater improvement ; but the experience of the world, as well 'as the sound philosophy of government grounded on what man is, pronounces against the destruc tion of the balance on either side, and gives warning— which only infatuation can despise—that - to destroy it on one side, is to provoke the recoil which is sure to destroy it on the other. Authority of some kind there must be for civilization, and if the people would avoid a military despotism in the end, they should manifest the increase of wisdom which it is said they have attained, by avoiding impatient insubordination in the beginning. On all such questions the true Christian will manifest moderation. Anxious for improvement and open to conviction, he will nevertheless, as a general rule, bear in mind the warning of divine wisdom against them who are given to change.' " It is when the law of God is set at nought by the civil rulers of a state, that the Christian church, in that state, should bear her faithful testimony against the transgres sion ; addressing herself to every ruler of every degree and grade of influence, from the Sovereign on the throne to the poorest freeholder whose name is, or ought to be, on the registration lists ; and reminding them all of the re vealed will of the King of kings. and Ruler of princes— which may indeed be neglected and despised for the pre sent, but certainly not with permanent impunity—that all who rule over men should rule in the fear of God.' " MEETING OF THE 'BIRMINGHAM & OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. On Saturday, an adjourned extraordinary meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held at Dee's Royal Hotel, Birmingham, for the purpose of considering the conduct of the directors, the propriety of instituting a suit in equity in the name of the company, oftalpa Parliamentary proceedings to carry the resolution of t dwith the March into effect, and other purposes a nn gr c ectors. The dispute between the shareholder?an meeting was well attended, and included several members of Parliament and some of our townsmen. P. H. Muntz, Esq., chairman of the company, presided. Mr. MozLny, of Liverpool, having found that the chairman did not intend to make any remarks or offer any explanation, said he regretted that fact. He complained of the conduct of the directors, who, immediately before the hour of meeting, when the shareholders assembled to elect six new directors, delegated the whole power of the company to a sub-committee. On behalf of the new directors, of whom he was one, he protested against such conduct, which was clearly intended to nullify the election .of those gentlemen. In itself, however, he believed such a delegation to be illegal. He moved a long resolution in accordance with his views, and which would put an end to the committee altogether. Mr. C. H. JONES, of Liverpool, seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said that the directors had appointed the 13th of March, from an apprehension that the new directors would stop the works. The powers of the com mittee were, however, confined to matters already sane- tion ed. Mr. MOZELY was not satisfied with this explanation, and repudiated, for himself and all his friends, the idea of stopping the works. . - The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. G. TURNER then moved a resolution to the effect that the directors had expended large sums of money belonging to the company, and without their authority, &c., and embodying a remedy. Mr. CROSSFIELD, of Liverpool, seconded the motion ; but the question not being within the terms of the requi sition, it was withdrawn. Mr. PARSONS, of London. was opposed to the course pursued by the Birmingham and Oxford Directors, and also objected to the agreement with the Great Western, which was prejudicial to their property. He moved a strong resolution, condemnatory of the arrangements on these subjects, and appointing an adjourned meeting on the 30th_of June, to furtherconsiderthese._ Mr. MozLEY seconded this in an able address, in which he warmly urged the propriety of an amicable settlement of the difference between the shareholders and the directors, from which so much evil had resulted. motion, inasmuch has he could not say that a suit should be raised that the directors had acted illegally, or that they had done anything but what they were empowered to do by the shareholders. He gave Mr. Mozley and Mr. Parsons credit for the courteous manner in which they had put the resolution Mr. MOZLEY ther in order to show that the share -3 exhibit an amicable feeling, moved COUNCIL MEETING.—CoxTricuED FROM PAGE 5. 1 Visit their harbour will the ft de and welfare of the town increase. (Hear, hear, hear.) The next article to which I shall allude is salt ; and most of us are old enough to remember the effect which the reduction of the duty on this article, which took place in 1823, had upon• our trade. I believe that the enormous consumption which has since taken place has been chiefly owing to that reduction of duty : for then it was a well-known fact that the poor man who kept his pig was obliged, in many instances, to sell it at any price, salt being too dear to enable him to keep, cure, and eat it himself. Salt is also an article which is taken to every part of the habitable world in ships ; and we will derive great advantage from any ... increase in its exportation which , we can also add that ii be an advantage to the shipping to have the duty re duced on this article, inasmuch as they are just placed in the same position with regard to it as tilt:, are with rPnarri to enfll -_" vied, as I hope it may, with a reduction of the town dues on this article, the trade in it will be enormous ; and more especially so if the odious monopoly of the East Indies was abolished. It may well be said of the poor man there that he " cannot earn salt to his porridge," when it takes more than one-third of his earnings to pur chase for him that which is the commonest necessity of life here. This fact is fully shewn in a pamphlet written by a Mr. Aylwyn, which the talented chairman of the Salt Association of Cheshire, Wm. Worthington, Esq., has politely forwarded me. That, sir, I may add, is mainly the cause of barring from those poor people the intro duction of Christianity. In this pamphlet he beautifully exposes the injurious effects of this monopoly on our trade and on the physical condition of the people. On these four articles proposed to be reduced we have estimated the reduction to be a gross sum of £24,000 ; or on the whole, say on iron £1,500, on cotton £18,700, coals £l,OOO, ships £14,000, and on salt £3,4oo,—thus making a total of £38,000. Having stated this, I will come to the discussion of the financial part of our esti mates. Before doing so, however, I was going to notice that portion of the letter of Mr. Evans, in which he states that our actual debts are £5,000,000 ; but, sir, this asser tion is so easily refuted, and will be so fully refuted in the course of my observations, that I need not now do more than.refer to it. Mr. Evans has on more than one occa sion—in fact, year after year, he has been reminding us of the failure in the cotton crop ; and still the trade of the port has gone on increasing ; and I hope it will increase, notwithstanding all thse " reminders." (Hear, hear, and laughter.) I shall now proceed, how ever, to notice the extravagant statement in that letter, wherein our debts are set forth at £5,000,000; and, in answering that assertion, if I can make a statement so clear and correct that any member present will understand me, I feel confident that he will be answered. For one moment I beg to direct your attention to the report. In it we have estimated the debts as being £3,600,000; but of this sum it will be borne in mind that a large portion will not be due fora long time to come yet ; that it is only the estimated figure of what our debts will be. The cost of the south works will be, when completed, £260,000 ; and the north works will be £240,000 ; to this we have added the debt, which, when due, makes the total £3,600,000. I think, therefore, that they deal very unfairly with the matter ; but I will deal differently with it : for I will prove that the present debt is but £3,256,000. The sum required for the north, south, and central works is £l,3oo,ooo—less cash in hand, £190,000, which leaves us to borrow £1,110,000. This makes, assuming the whole works to be completed, our debt then, but which will not be contracted for many years to come, the sum of only . £4,366,400. Our income we have had made up to Satur day last, in order that we might have it brought down as near the present time as possible, and we find that up to that date it has been £275,000. _ AMBROSE LACE.- - tOr what period ? Mr. BRAMLEYMOORE. - For one year, less than the time from the 19thinst. to the 24th inst. , which time will complete the year. and during which we will receive £5,000. That will make our increase £280,000. To this, however, we must add £30,000 for the Albert warehouses. You, Sir, are aware that the parliamentry estimates for these ware houses was £36,000 ; and, therefore, we are quite safe in taking £30.000 on that item. This makes a total income of £310,000. I wish you to bear in mind that the £280,000 of income is not one to be anticipated as the result of future years :it is the fact of the present year. From this £210,000 you must deduct £32,000, the interest on £4,366,000, at 41 per cent., or £195,000, and the cost of management, which may be taken at £43,000. These sums, when added, makes the reduction to be made from our income £271,000, still leaving a surplus supposing our debts to be the full amount estimated, which they are not—of £39,000. I trust after that statement no one will say that we are dealing rashly with the dock estate ; but that the Dock Committee are looking after the affairs of the dock estate and the interests of the shipping of the harbour in the same vigilant and attentive manner which they have ever done. I should have stated that I have not gone into any nice calculations ; but that I have left myself ample room and margin for all contingencies. If I had been particular as to my calculations, with regard to the item charged for interest, there is £700,000 of the sum for which we are paying only three-and-a-half per cent. ; but I take the whole at four-and-a-half, thus leaving sufficient margin on that item—a course which I have pursued with refer ence to all the others. To talk of one debt being £5,000,000 is, as I said before, an extravagant notion. Tt does not follow because we have the power to borrow a large sum of money that we are, therefore, to plunge in debt un necessarily. We, have still the power to borrow, if we like, £417,000 more than we require, but our having that power is no reason why we should do so. Sir, in the statement which I have just made, I have taken no credit for several large sums which we have yet to receive : for instance, from the Battery, £20,000, from the Corporation, £40,000, and the new landing stage, £20,000 ; and when these things are considered, I think that the alarm raised against the proposed reduc tions are very groundless. If in future,—and Ido sin cerely hope it will be one of the first things that will occupy the attention of my successor in office,—the clumsy and inconvenient system now pursued relative to dock bonds was altered, I have no doubt but the estate would be incalculably benefited by it. In refering to the manner in which the debts are taken up by the Dock Com mittee of London, I find that though they are far more oypressive than ours, the system of management of them is much better. When you attempt to make your bonds available, as in London, then you will secure your debts, and make them independent of all changes which could take place in the money market. There are thousands of persons prevented from putting money into Dock Bonds, because of the badness of our present system of management in that particular. Mr. Nicol calls my attention to the landing-stage, but it is unnecessary to notice it; I have already stated that I take no credit for £20,000 on this item. I feel too deeply, and too anxiously, the responsibility which devolves upon me in bringing this matter before the Council, to enter into any close details in this statement ; yet, while I feel anxious about the welfare of this new scheme for the advancement of" Liverpool, I am also quite confident, relying as I do on the judgment, intelligence, and sagacity of this council, that the report which I had the honour to present from wished the Dock Committee ll tboekanpopwrovifedmarn.cl Moore confi confirmed. Mr. esd. Mr. ROBINSON quite correct the in Dock hiastacom statement relative to the interest on the debt Mr. BRAMLEY-T100!-I thought, sir, that I had made myself very plain ; for I took every possible pain in the statement which I have given to make it as plain a I could. If, however, I have failed in doing so, or in making out a case before this Council, then of course you will exercise your discretion, and say whether you will approve of the resolutions before you ; but if on the other hand you are satisfied that I have demonstrated the ability of the Dock Committee to grant this great boon to the public, then I know that I can have no difficulty in anticipating your decision. Mr. RoniNsoN.—Pardon me : I was merely asking a question of Mr. Moore relative to -. The MAYOR.—Oh, Mr. Robinson, if you would listen to and reply to Mr. Moore, instead of interrupting him, to would be better. Proceed, if you please, sir. Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE.—I have done, your worship. Alderman Nrcot seconded the adoption of the report, and the resolutions founded thereon. Mr. ROBINSON was opposed to the reduction on cotton, be cause it would, he thought, go into the hands of the foreign grower. He -ght also that the duty on sugar and tea shy ' have been taken off before any reduCtion wilts made in such articles as cotton, coal; salt, and iron. lie wished to ask Mr. Bramley Moore whether it was a gross or a nett estimate which he had formed in making the calculations on which he relied Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE.—I am not particular. Mr. ROBINSON contended, that if they made the proposed reductions they would have no surplus whatever. The interest statedin the report on the £4,366,000 was £162,000. Mr. BRAMLBY-MOORE.—II is £193,000. Mr. ROBINSON.—But in the report it is no more than what I have stated. ._ _ Mr. RonlNso there is no surplu lies. that is the' matter that strikes me; Mr. BRAM LEY-MOORE.—The interest amounts to £193,000; and the income.is £280,000, on which we have a surplus of £42,000, or thereabouts. Mr. EARLE.—lnsaead of £59,000, as stated before. Mr. BRA AILEY-MOORE.—That calculation was run up in haste, and there may have been some mistake in it ; but still it was•not, on the whole, incorrect. Mr. HUGH Ho RN B Y regretted that some gentlemen who had hitherto taken a warm interest in the affairs of the Dock Com mittee were absent on the present occasion. He alluded to Mr. Aikin and Mr. Evans. Ile thought the question before them one of such importance that the members of the Council should not be called on to discuss and vote on the' question so Tking hastily. Bramley all tI)P With regard to tne _ j-Moore, he had but fewobservations to make. amounts which they must incur into' consideration, ht calculated that their debts came to £4,590,000, the interest on which would be, say .t'193,000; but in his estimate, Mr. Brain ley-Moore had not made any allowance for the increase of officers and salaries consequent on the completion of all his works. In his opinion, a great addition ought to be made to that account for that particular item. From his balance of £42,000 he how proposes to take £38,716, being but a very small sum for surplus. He thought the Dock Com mittee and Council were taking a very rash step in making the proposed reduction ; and, at all events, it was a subject on which the members of the Council should take more time than an hour or an hour and a-half to deliberate on. He gave' the Dock Committee every credit for their industry, zeal, and issi duity.in.the affairs of the town; for he was certain that they were influenced by no other feeling than a desire to benefit the town—(hear, hear) ;—but still they should pause before they made so hold a step. He also thought that the present mode of changing the dock dues was objectionable: inasmuch as it left THE PARISH AND THE IRISH POOR, The expense to which this unfortunate town is , to be put in the effort to administer to the wants of the Irish poor, and, at the same time, to protect our own population from the ravages of fever, seems to have no ascertainable limit. Week after week, we find the demands upon us increasing ; and not a prospect appears of any early cessation of those demands. Certainly if any community ever possessed a just claim to the assistance of the Legislature, in the emergency, into which for no fault of their own they are thrown ' it is this com munity of Liverpool. Yet we see every attempt made to bring our case before either House treated with careless indifference ; and we are even assured that we are sufficiently gorged wiili wealth to bear all our burthens without being injured in the slightest degree. One noble lord remarked distinctly, on a recent occasion, that we had profited so much from our com merce with Ireland, that it was only fair that we should put up with our present difficulties without grumbling. We have previously directed attention to ,our grievance, arising from the quarantine regulations enforced in the case of vessels twin's' leek - -nrrers from Ireland—viz., the t „- immense cost to which the parish authorities are put in order to carry out the regulations of the Home Office, and the deten tion caused to the Irish steamers. The hire of the vessel, alone, employed for the conveyance of the med i cal officers, is nearly .e 4,000 per annum ; and with additional salaries, &c., .t'6ooo will be the minimum cost per annum of the regulations, if persevered in ; yet not a case of fever has yet been found on board of the steamers. This large sum might be saved, and the object of government equally well answered by a strict examination being enforced at the ports in Ireland where the passengers are taken in. On Saturday last, the Maiden City, steamer, arrived in the river at eleven a.m., with passengers, and a cargo of salmon for that day's market. She was boarded ; and a case of suspected fever, which turned out to be not fever at all, being discovered, she was ordered to the lazarettoes, and detained until four o'clock. The market for the fish was, of course, lost, or, at least, the productiveness of its sale mate rially lessened. It has been suggested to us, as worthy of the consideration of the authorities, that the quay of the Clarence Dock might be temporarily bricked up at both ends, and passengers examined there, by which the expense of a steamer for the medical men would be saved, and any detention prevented. THE APPROACHING ELECTION, It is now an ascertained fact, as will be seen from his letter in another column, that Lord Sandon declines not only volun tarily to offer himself as a candidate for the borough, but to allow his name to be put in nomination by his friends. _Under ant electors of Liverpool once wi We have heard the names of two such parties mentioned — Lord Mandeville and Sir Digby Mackworth—and are given to understand that both of them would come forward ifinfluen tially invited to do so. Lord Manderville is the eldest son of the Duke of Manchester, who is chairman of the National Club. He is besides a young man of great talent and influence, a sound Protestant, and an active and energetic Conservative. Sir Digby Mackworth is a leading member of the same club, an excellent and experienced man of business, a staunch Protes tant, and a fluent and able speaker. He possesses, moreover, most courteous manners. The position which Liverpool would be enabled to command, by securing the services of two such men would be a most potential one. It is well known that the national club will rank amongst its members the most influential section of the next parliament; and, by returning Lord Mandeville and Sir Digby Mackworth, any deputation upon Liverpool business will always be assured of their representations being promptly and anthontively brought before the ministry, and before parliament. We should be rejoiced to see some active steps taken to achieve this end. There is no time to lose if the Protestants of Liverpool are in earnest. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES. —At 'a meeting of the' Board of Examiners, held on the 18th instant, Mr. William Pearson, late second officer of the " Ann 'Bridson," of Liverpool, was found duly qualified for a first-class master's certificate, that he had applied BODY OF A CHILD FOUND.—On Thursday last, a labourer named Patteson, while passing along the bank of the Leeds and Liverpool canal, observed something float ing in the water, and on pulling it out found it to be the body of a full grown male child, tied up in a bag. The child had been still born. CHILD BURNT TO DEATH.—A female child named Reid, aged .5 months, and who lived with her parents in William-street, Great Howard-street, had her clothes ig nited five months ago by some soot that fell down the chimney, and she was so severely burnt that she died on Sunday. THE WEATHER. though coldish for the season, has, zinee our last, been favourable for the gr owin g cro p s, all of which, with very slight and partial exceptions, look beautiful and promising. We have had frequent and heavy rains, peculiarly favourable for backward grass lands, turnips, &c., but sun and warmth would now be accep table for haymaking, and seeding of wheat and other crops. The potatoes look well, with little or no symptoms of disease. HERBERT'S PAINTING,-Our readers will see that this picture, which has created so much excitement in this town, is still on view in Bold-street, where it is to remain for four days longer. As this will certainly be the last opportunity we shall have of noticing this extraordinary picture, we trust that none will lose the opportunity of ng it, which may be done before Saturday. From our lelen's correspondent, we bear that the picture is to be exhibited there three days next week, on its route to the south of England. DEATH AT THE NEW RAILWAY WORKS.—An inquest was held before Mr. Curry, on Saturday, touching the death of Thomas Plunkett, a boy of 7 years of age, who lived in Gerard-street. On Friday afternoon the deceased was observed to be entangled in the spokes of the wheel of a•cart drawn by one horse, which was in the act of drawing from the mouth of the shaft. Before any as sistance could be given to him his head was jammed by the off wheel against the pailings round the shaft. He fully injured, and was quite dead when taken up. sATH THROUGH AN ACCIDENT.—An inquest was , fore Mr. Curry yesterday on view of the body of was dread `• That, with the view of affording a further opportunity 31anation or statement to be given by the of any ex directors at a furthE Ijourned meeting, and for enab rour-nment June 22, 1847. wilt on their completion' but if he (Mr. N.) was rightly in formed those warehouses were required even then for use, would arise from them. Another objection made was, the trade increased the expense would also increase; but if Mr• Hornby did not ilke that the remedy was simple,—let him lock up the gates and there was an end of all expense, for docks did not require to pay insurance., (Hear, hear, hear, and loud laughter.) Faults had been found that the reduc tion was made on some articles and not on many others ; but he, for one, felt that those articles which were not now reduced were not of so much importance to the public; but he hoped that another year would not elapse until they also would be re dnced. Mr. Hornby thought that the present reduction would be setting a bad example to other committees ; but on that head he (Mr. A.) was quite easy, fos as the Comicil had the . _ power of electing the greater part of the members of that body they would not elect such men as would so injure the public. Mr. BRAM LEY-MOO RE.—And the Council have also the veto in their own hands. Ur.

HOLM i begged leave to call the attention of Mr. Robinson to the fact, that at least two or three years must elapse before the Dock Committee would have incurred all the debt which was stated in the estimate; and the chairman having debited the committee with it all from this date in his calculation, at the rate of 4 per cent., the interest of all that money which was yet to be contracted for of course went now to Locks, wh( they were awar there was a great want of dock accommodation, they should bear in mind, although the chairman had laid no stress on the fact, that the committee were entitled to credit for any increase which took place in the revenues from these docks. And they should also bear in mind, that almost all the docks in Liverpool are new, or recently so ; and, therefore, the coat of repairing them during the next ten years, will be less than during those just past. This was an item on which the committee should take credit. However, he thought that the reduction might have been made on more suitable articles than those which had beee selected. He would have been disposed to take less off cotton, and to take some off earthenware and hardware. When he remembered that a large portion of the inhabitants of Staffordshire were living by the manufacture of the former article, he would have done so in order to increase their means of subsistence. He would, however,feel no hesitation in voting in favour of the adoption of the report and the resolutions. Mr. H. DANSON supported the adoption of the report. Mr. PARKER congratulated the Chairman of the Dock Conl mittee on the very large majority by which he would be Stl tained. He also congratulated him on the fact that a certain gentleman, whose opinion was as grod as any in the Council had, in his endeavours to find fault witlytheproject, been unablil to make one single tangible objection to the whole scheme And as to the opposition of the other member for St ivr M. Anne's Ward„ it was most effeminate. (Laughter.) And, continued Mr. Parker, seeing all this Mr. Chairman allow me to give you my most cordial and hearty support. (Hear, hear, hear.) Mr. HORNBY explained that he was not then in opposition to' the measure. Mr. EARLE did not object to the report being adopted; but his friend on his right (Mr. Parker) did not understand the English language. (Laughter.) Mr. GRIFFITHS was of opinion that the duties ought to be taken off other articles instead of those selected for reduction- Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE then rose to reply, and, in doing so , proceeded at some length to confute the various arguments which had been adduced against it. He sa id th at an applica tion had been made to the Dock Committee to see if they could accommodate four large steamers, which were being built at New York, having 76 feet beam. That application was under the consideration of the Committee, and also in what manner theY could accommodate all the shipping which came to the port, for it was the desire of the committee to give all the accommo dation which they could to the vessels trading here. There was no place in England in which such steamers could be accommodated ; and Liverpool was the only place in England having dock gates so wide as 72 feet. Yet he hoped they would be able to accommodate these vessels. Mr. EARLE.—WiII the dock gates have to be taken down to accommodate them ? Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORS .—Oh no The MAYOR then rose, and put the motion for the adoption of the address of the Dock Committee, of the 17th instant, and the resolutions founded thereon, which, without a division, wos carried unanimously, and the Council adjourned at a quartet to one. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY (TAUNTON AND CASTLE CARY BRANCH). • The Committee met at the usual hour, and commenced the business of the day by the examination of the Earl of Fortescue. His lordship's evidence went to show that in his opinion the Great Western Railway was entitled to the possession of the western districts of the country, that the broad gauge was pre ferable to the narrow, and that it would be unwise to admit the narrow ~ a uge into the broad gauge district, as it wou ld cause great inconvenience from the various breaks of gauge which would result therefrom. LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY The weather continues cold, wet, and_ stormy, cr creased fears for the growing 'crop 'of Wheat, but spring corn has much improved. We hear, however, more general report s of rot in potatoes in England and Scotland. At this day's market we had only a short supply of English Wheat, which sold about 2s. per quarter over the currency 0 ' Monday last. In foreign there was a good steady consumptiv e demand, at better prices than were obtainable last week. Floor is depressed, and some quantity of inferior quality from Aire' rica is pressing at low rates. . -The trade in Indian Corn is paralysed for the present, owing to the heavy supplies at Cork and Falmouth.
