Air, Gardner, ave had. to ve car " -t n Lal original avocations? is the important question which suggests itself for our serious consideration. There are many reasons why we conclude this to be a highly improbable event. In the first place it would be sheer madness, with the present calami tous state of Ireland as a warning, to tolerate any. longer the growth of the class, to which these men belong. A. cottier tenantry, depending for subsis tence solely upon the potato root, cannot consis tently with the permanent amelioration of the social condition of that country, or even with safety to the institutions of the empire, be allowed tu continue in the occupation of the soil. A new and better mode of cultivzition must be adopted, and a dif ferent description of crops substituted for those at present raised. Capital and science must be brought in aid of the natural resources of the land, if Ireland is ever to become a self-sustaining coun try, and to be able to bear the burthen of its own poor. To effect this, an extensive depopulation must take placp; and when we withdraw from the country the employment which we are at present providing for its peasantry, upon public or repro- . ductive works, we shall do so, with almost the cer tainty before our eyes, that a great portion of the labourers, who have at length been taught to live will never be either able, or inclined, to return to their former precarious dependence upon the produce of a patch of land, and the habits of indolence which that dependence creates. .We shall then dtubtless see the present tide of immi uppetinn • A - wages, witness any reflux of the peasantry to their native soil. The effect which must thus be produced upon the condition of the labouring masses in the coun try it is not difficult to foresee. For years past, in all our seats of industry and commerce, the im ported labour of Ireland has been pressing upon the comforts and reducing the wages of the British artisan and operative. Already Irishmen fill all the subordinate situations in our industrial fabric. They work for less, because they can live for less, than Englishmen. They rush with avidity into the worse paid employments, are content with the worst description of habitations, and infect with their filthy and squalid habits every locality in which they settle themselves. The new importa tions, however, which are now arriving amonast us daily, and spreading themselves over the manufac turing districts, are .even of a worse class than any which have preceded them. Many are confirmed and habitual mendicants, and all are in a state of pauperism. We cannot support them either as beggars or as paupers. Gradually they must be compelled to take up the same practices of industry which they witness amongst our own population ; and it is creditable to the national character that, as a class, the Irish labourer or operative has always shown himself in this country second to none in the readiness with which he takes up new pursuits, and the persevering industry with which he is ready to toil. A further and a greater dete— rioration of the condition of the English labourer and operative must inevitably follow the increased pressure which must thus be created upon the laboUr market. Are we now, or have we the prospect of be' g, in a position to absorb this increased supply of hands in any branch of our domestic industry ? We are not. The cotton manufacture, it is clear, cannot employ those already dependent upon it. Had we even a large addition to our customers for manu factures, we have not, and cannot procure, the raw material to supply them. Indeed, as we shewed last week, we are in danger of not having a sufficient stock to meet even a diminished con sumption. Most other branches of industry are depressed by various causes ; and even railway en terprise is insufficient to provide work for all the labour which is pressing upon us for employment A plentiful harvest or two, an increased culth of cotton, and a revival of the demand from foreign markets, may, howe country to a state of greater activity but, in the meantime, the con .ng of the newappli- cants for employment will have succeeueu ing down the price of labour to the minimum upon which existence can be supported ; and the contact with the masses of wretchedness introduced into our manufacturing towns and villages will too probably have produced a sad deterioration in the character and habits of our labouring classes. The remark, that Ireland is the chief difficulty of the statesman, was never more strikingly correct than at the present moment. The povertyand de gradation of that unhappy land is the millstone which England seems for ever destined to have hung round her neck. We are informed, on authority upon which we can place implicit reliance, that the very obnoxious Bill, with which the ports of Great Britain were threatened,—the Tidal Harbours' Bill,—has been withdrawn by its promoters. Thanks, in a great measure, to the press for this triumph of truth and justice over attempted tyranny. But for the warn ing note sounded, and the spirited protests for warded to the Government by the various local bodies throughout the kingdorit, Whig-Radicalism would ere long have had the most sumptuous feast of jobbery and patronage upon which it has ever yet fattened and fed its hungry dependants. OUR readers are; no doubt, aware of the spirited efforts made last . year by the Guardian Gas Com pany to procure an Act of Incorporation, for the purpose of supplying to the public of this town a cheaper supply of gas. The application in question was, it will also be remembered, rejected, on the condition exacted by the Parliamentary Committee from the existing companies, that the price of gas should be reduced from its then present price of 6s. per 1000 cubic feet to 4s. 6d. Thus far. the company succeeded in realizing a saving to the consumers, equal to one-fourth of their consump rion, for which we ought to be most grateful. From an advertisement in another column it will be seen that the same parties are again about to apply to Parliament for an Act ; and we trust that such application will not, on this occasion, be permitted to be staved off in the same way as last year. The promoters of this company are in a positioh to prove that an excellent gas can be pro duced and supplied to c insumers at 3s. Bd. per lop° feet ; and it is a well-ascertained fact, that the facilities for its manufacture are about to sus tain an immense increase. Science, applicable to the manufacture of gas, is progressing day by day ; and, we feel assured that there will be ample room and encouragement for this, or any other company which is disposed to give to the public a fair share of the advantage' which those increased facilities and advanced science afford them. In urging the claims of this company upon the su t of the public, we may correct a notion which we suspect prevails, that the object sought by them is cheap gas, and not a return for capital invested. Such is not the case. Their object is a supply of this in dispensible article at the lowest consumer, with at the same tim 31 1 INDIA We have just now received the West India Mail, by the Trent steamer.

COTTON MANUFACTURE The annual general meeting of the Company. of Pro prietors of the Liverpool Exchange was held in the Cotton Sales Room yesterday, and as the business was of ordinary routine, required by act of Parliament, the attendance was limited In the present state of the cotton trade, with prices, as, some think, extravagantly en h ance d by s p ecu l a ti on , or , as others think, only so much so as the short crop war rants, is is important to ascertain how far the spinners and manufacturers are able, from the existing prices of yarn and goods to pay the prices at present demanded for cot ton. We shall endeavour to throw some light upon this question by an examination of the data furnished us by Mr. Burn, in his last Commercial Glance. In the last week of Dec. 1845, the price of Upland cot ton was 3rd. to 41d. ; and in the corresponding week of 1846 the price of the same staple was. 6d. to lid. The advance was thus nd. to 3d. per lb. in the latter year. In. comparing the price of yarn for the two years, we select No. 40 as affording the best and most regular criterion. In 1845 the price of this num b er w as, for " common seconds," water twist, 121 d. and in 1846, 14d. ; for " best seconds" 13d. in 1845 and 15d. in 1846. The advance is therefore only 10. upon " common seconds" and MArrnEw GLFNTON, Esq., was called to the chair, and stated that the committee had to report a gradual progressive increase of revenue, which would admit of a larger dividend to the . shareholders than they had been in the habit of paying for some years past. The sources from which this was derivable were—first, the increased rental obtained for the offices, &c., in their buildings (amounting to a b ou t 25 p er cen t., while, at the same time, great liberality h a d b een observed to the tenantry) ; and, secondly, to the increased subscriptions to the rooms. The committee had to announce that they were enabled to pay to each shareholder this year a dividend of seven guineas per share, and besides that an additional sum of three gmneas to those who did not attend the rooms— that difference arising from the subscription not being .• ms, the advance o material in 1846 is ad. to lid. more than that of common seconds water twist, and Id. to lid more than that of best seconds. .In 1846 the advance was id. on common seconds mule and . lad. on best seconds, the advance of the raw material being thus 11d. to lid. more than that of common seconds, and lid. to lid. more than that of best seconds. t. that_ with th.cp rplative rwirPc. seconds due by the latter. The TREASURER then read the accounts, from which 't appeared that, after appropriating a sum of £167 as a -erved fund, there was a balance of £5BBO, out of which the dividends would be paid. The CHAIRMAN said that the committee had given facility and information to le News-room below, he raw reserves which had undergone extensive improvements. New furniture had been provided, and new maps. He had also to state that the Lords of the Admiralty had announced their intention of presenting them with all their valuable maps (or charts) from time to time, an instance of liberality for which they could not but express their best the spinner's loss must be ahaost ruinous. The perfect fairness of the calculation is obvious, from the fact that the price of cotton in 1844 and 1845 being nearly the same, the price of this number of yarn► shewed no variation. Assuming, therefore, a fact which, indeed, is known, that in both these years a fair or even a good profit, over and above remuneration for capital and wear and tear of ma posed and unanimouslk passed. Five gentlemen were separately elected as members of the committee, in place . - an article costing in th e l a tt er y ear Ind, a loss of lid. to• lid., or /22 per cent., can be spared out of profit alone; unless the trade be a far more remunerative one than the world. imagines. In comparing the relative prices of goods in the two yearsove shall select the staple article of iths power-loom printers, 72 reed. On the Ist of January,. 1846, the price of this article was ss. 3d. to ss. 41d. per piece of 29 yards, and on the Ist of January instant, 6s. ld. to 6s. lOid. As there is at greater difference between the first and second quality in one year than in the other, we will take the ordinary cloth as our guide. The advance is therefore between ss. 3d. and 6s. 10., or 100. per piece. Assuming the price of labour to be the same at the two periods, this sum on a 51b. cloth gives an advance of 2-14. per lb., the advance on the yarn being lid, only, and the advance on cotton 2d. to 3d. of the five who retire by. rotation Thanks being voted to the officers and to the chairman` (who had been most active for the interests of the com pany) the meeting separated. PROPOSED ALTERATION OF THE BIRKEN- HEAD DOCK PLANS It will be remembered by our readers that the original plans of this great scheme comprised a coasting dock, of 16 acres, which was offered to the coasters frequenting our river as a compensation for the enclosure of the beaching ground in Wallasey Pool, which has been used by those vessels from time immemorial. A clause in the Act of Parliament provided that no vessel of more than. 200 tons burden was to enter this ground.

Shand, and intended for the Eastern trade, was launched on Tuesday last from the yard of the builders, Messrs. Clarke and Son, Etna-street. The weather was propitious, and the attendance of spec tators most numerous. The Marian is nearly 700 tons register, n.m., and has in her model combined all those essential requisites for which Liverpool-built ships are famed—a clean entrance and a fine run, with a capacity for storage, and bearings that ensure her carrying her canvas. She has a full poop, and the saloon and after cabins are fitted most splendidly but substantially ; in deed, in the whole ship, internally and externally, is dis played gbxcellence in workmanship and material. The . daggers were removed shortly after twelve o'clock, and having rgceived her title from the fair hand of Mrs. Alex ander M.awe,—whose Christian name she bears—she moved, after a momentary pause, to the bosom of the Mersey, where her appearance was a them e e of general, anten splendid om collation y l yea, universal admiration.

M`NgiLE.—The Coleraine Chronicle corrects several errors in a sketch of this eminent divine, contained in a work just published, entitled " Orators of the Day." As the sketch has appeared in a local contem porary, we may as well give the correction of our contem porary. It is as follows :—" Mr. M`Neile, we need`hardly say, is the son of a country clergyman of good estate, from whom he inherits considerable real property in this neighbourhood, and who was a deputy-lieutenant, and one of the oldest magistrates of the county of Antrim, in which, also, he served the office of High Sheriff, which has been more recently filled by his son ; by his maternal relatives Mr. M`Neile is equally well connected, his mo ther having been a member of one ofethe oldest and most respectable families in Antrim—now represented by her brother, the Chairman of the Ballycastle bench of magis trates. We do not believe it derogatory to any gentle man to bring up his son to either branch of the legal pro fession ; but Mr. M`Neile never was in an attorney's office, nor was he ever a tutor in the family of the Arch bishop or any other—indeed the wealth and position of his family rendered it improbable he would have accepted such an office, pe r fectly respectable though we admit it to be. In what manner Mr. M`Neile first became ac quainted with the family of the late Archbishop of Dub lin, we cannot pretend to say ; but as we rather believe Dr. Magee was Bishop of Raphoe when Mr. M'Neile re ceived his first nomination to the Curacy of Stranorlar, in that diocese, we presume it took place in the usual inter-. course of society ; for although the position of Mrs. M`Neile, as daughter of the Primate of Ireland, rendered her a suitable wife for any gentleman, still it is erroneous to suppose that Mr. M`Neile thereby attained or now oc cupies a higher position in society than he inherited, and was entitled to fill, or than is occupied at present by the raprestutative of his family ill Ireland." • • committee was appointed, and voluntary collectors were appointed, to whom books were delivered, and who were to hand over their receipts to the secretaries, to be transmitted to the general committee in Dublin.

The meeting was perfectly harmonious through out, and concluded with thanks to the chairman and others. SUSPICION OF AN ATTEMPT AT HOUSE-BREAKING.-- A man named John. Craig, was yesterday brought bef ore Mr. Rushton, charged with this offence. The testimony of a servant girl belonging to a public-house in Baker= street, near the Zoological Gardens, was to the effect that The amount received bf Mr. H. J.

We found the premises large and commodi ous. There.is a large ante-room, in which seats; are pro vided for those who purchase the soup, ttnd wish to take it en pcissant. These pay for it a halfpenny a quart, and . . at four o'clock on Sun - day mornin he heard the voices that on giving the alarm, a police-officer came up, and apprehended the prisoner, who was then standing against the house, apparently drunk. This witness, and another 44.- officer said That the' prisoner was, when he got to tne, station, shortly afterwards, quite sober. The prisoner said he was very drunk, had lost his way, and did not know how to get home ; that he believed he knocked at the house to get information, but had no intention to rob, and had never been in custody for any such offence as that stated. His master Mr. Ellis, of Renshaw-street, with whom he had been employed for 9 years, was called at his request, and said that the prisoner had been long: with him-(as stated) ; that he had never known him to 'be ii LIM 1J erb us Luem, wno were provided with it smoking ho., in cans, were supping it with spoons, also provided. dishonest—the only fault being that he • sometimes last Much greater numbers brought their own cans or vessels time by the effects of drink.

By some it is viewed as a movement, by the bank, to prevent excessive prices of corn and cotton, and as directly levelled against a certain description of paper by which operations in these articles have been fomented ; and it is broadly asserted that the directors are determined to go on until, their ob ject is accomplished, and business resumes its natural state. The prevailing impression, however, amongst well informed people is, that the bank is only acting in self defence, and taking precautiOns in time. The dangerous position of the Bank of. France has not been overlooked in Threadneedle-street ; and added to the necessity of providing for a possible demand of assistance from that establishment, the increasing importations of foreign breadstuffs are considered as likely to create a very serious drain of specie from this country. All these considera tions and circumstances with the fall of what may be con sidered the national financial pulse—consols—have com bined to produce an uneasy feeling amongst our commer cial classes generally, and to enable buyers of most com modities to purchase upon better terms. The announcement of the ministerial measure affecting corn, has not had any very material effect upon prices. Free grain is a trifle lower, having come down to meet the price of bonded, which has not advanced, although firm at the highest price previously realised. The arrivals within the past few days have been large ; but it is thought that, being already sold, they will not materially affect the market. A change of wind, however, which has prevailed for an unusually long period from the eastward, and southward and eastward, must bring in still more heavy supplies, as a vast number of grain -laden vessels are now on their passage and overdue. The Cotton Market has receded during the week, with very little doing, even at the reduction submitted to. The anticipation of tightness in the money market has affected the spirits of speculators, whilst the adoption of short time is limiting the operations of spinners. An important article—" A Few, Facts on the State of the Cotton Manufacture"—which will be found in another. column,' will be found worthy of perusal by parties in terested in this great staple. The effect of the announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, containing the terms upon which s ugar will be allowed to be used in breweries and distilleries, had the effect, upon its being known here, of raising the. price 2s. per cwt. Our dealers and the trade, however, had been prepared for the adoption of such a measure ; and some of the brewers and distillers have been ope rating largely by anticipation. On this account a con siderable rise had already taken place, which, from • may down at is. transactions the market was very firm, at. full - prices. Our share market is quite prostrated, and nothing doing BIRKENHEAD HOSPITAL AND DISPENSARIES, Jan. 24, 184 t. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (By EXPRESS.) LONON CORN MARKEL—YESTERDAY.

Public Securities have been much agitated during the whole of the morning, and.the fluctuation in Consols has been pet cent. The prices from Paris .were generally expected to come 'lower, but instead of that there was an improvement both is the dentes and shares, and this had considerable influence in turning the tide here. Consols for Money have been donefmns 90} to 904 and for the Account from 90# to 91f, and are not sellers at 91#. There has been a large amount of business done, but the principal part of it is presumed to be in checking accounts. The amount of money required bygovernment for the distres9 in Ireland is anoth er po i nt which is dwelt upon in the calcula tions of the speculators, and on that, as a matter of course, different views are taken. Reduced Three per. Cents. have been done from sin to 91, the Three-and-a -Quarter per Cents. 920 to f, Spanish Stock last at 2041, and India 2.0.• Exchequer Bills have ranged from 3 to 7 pm. THE TEA DUTIES. It haloften been urged by the advocates of the present high duties on tea, that by lowering those duties we should merely injure the revenue, without benefiting anf but the Chinese producers, who, from the increased demand, would be enabled to obtain a higher price. This objection has been forcibly met in an able address just issued by the Liverpool association, and the following extract from Messrs- Hnghesdon and Co.'s monthly tell circular, dated Canton, November 27, 1846, also sad)" confutes it. " We think an extensive field will soon be open for exchange operations in China ; the quantity of tee brought forward increases annually, and as it is a perish , able article the tea-merchant is forced to submit to the terms of his customers—for as yet he has been seldom willing to speculate in a foreign market—but the disastrone result of shipments to England during the last two year§ will curtail purchases for that side, which have been oftelt made for the sake of filling up a ship only ; so that the te a man will thus be forced to ship on his own account under advances. A reduction in the tea duties at home may again induce extensive operations on English account; but larger quantities will soon be produced, and we h a ve little doubt the supply will be in excess of the demand. It may be seen by reference to our tea-table that the'quarititY exported during the last season has increased 51 million IN. since 1844 :—At th e expiration of the East India Cora"- pany's charter, in 1834, the shipment s amoun t e d to on ly . 321 million pounds, s o that in twelve years the quantity 01 tea shipped to England alone has increased seventy-five per cent. ! and during this time the cost price has de creased about thiity per cent. !! and, what is more, sur priiinestill, this result has taken place notwithstanding the restrictive duty at home of 200 to 300 per cent. on the value of the article !! ! Reduce this enormous duty, -and_; thus allow the poor- man also to be a consumer, and—but it is impossibl e t o calculate to what extent the export would be increased. The question more nearly affects the cotton and woollen manufacturers, who would then be called on to furnish more extensive supplies of their re spective fabrics." The Rev. Dr. Croly hr.s been elect e d to the office of afternoon preacher at the FOundling Hospital. The Morning Herald of yesterday contains intelligence from Lisbon to the 20th instant, but the news is not im portant. OMINOUS appears that Sir Edward Coffin R.N., is the officer employed by the Commissariat, to convey re lief to Ireland ! Perfectly appropriate to the Premier'S present policy._ THE SUPT.'S'S( OF CORN AT SJDESEA.—The Journal (leg D6bats. publishes the following letter, dated Odessa, Dec. 30th : The mildness of the temperature is really extra ordinary this year, which has permitted the accumulation of a vast quantity of corn in this port. Henceforth, how ever, we do not expect further supplies from the interior until April or May next. The total number of ships which arrived here between the Ist of January and the 25th of December, 1846, amounted to 1,400, an d t h e d epartures to 1,190 or 1200. It is worthy of remark, that the ships which came here to load corn this year were of more than ordinary tonnage. We have still in the stores here more than 250,000 hectolitres of wheat. Since the commence ment of the month, more than 200 or 300 ships have taken in cargoes of wheat. This corn was part of the crop of 1845 ; we have not.yet drawn on any part of the crop of 1846, which has been as deficient in Russia as in Western Europe. Still a less than ordinary harvest in Russia pro duces much more than is necessary for the consumption of the empire." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. MONDAY, 25th JANUARY.—Wind S., fresh breeze.
