TO-MORROW ial Council will • . be held, to which the Dock Committee will sub mit their draught of the bill for the purchase of lands. and the construction of additional wet docks, and the erection of s upon their qua To the scheme itself and to the granting of the full powers required, we do not anticipate that any general objection will be raised, although, perhaps, y further extension Mr. Eyre I that with his favourite of dock space, c_ warehouses surrounding our existing docks, such extension, and the expense to be thereby imposed upon the estate, will be rendered unnecessary. But, with respect to one point, we are of opinion not only that a strong opposition will be offered, but that it ought to be offered by the Council, as trustees of the interests of the burgesses at large. We refer to the omission of any clause imposing upon the Dock Committee's warehouses the same contribution to the rates of the town, which is paid by private owners of the same description of pro perty. We are not aware of the object of the Dock Committee in not, in the fi in their bill, this concess on to public opinion. Idy been established by the The p: insertion of a clause in a former hill, rennermg the Albert warehouses liable to be rated; and the )le, if sound in one case, is equally so in another 137' warehouses on one part of the dock estate shou - ld be taxed to wards our local burthens, and in another be free. We are about to permit our Dock Committee to appropriate a large' plot of land, covered at )resent with valuable property, paying a large amount in rates ; and when it is not asked that we should be empowered to tax that portion of such property which will be covered with docks, or converted into open quay space, we have, at least, a right to stipulate that for the buildings which they erect upon it they should pay. in proportion to the burthens borne by those who will be cilled upon to enter into com petition with them. It may be that there is some point of form involved, which prevents the committee, from themselves, offering such a clause, It is so very obvious, however, that the burgesses will insist upon it, and that Parliament will grant a demand so reasonable, that we cannot believe that either the Dock Committee or the Council can think of offering any hindrance to its being made a part of their bill. The proper course, would, therefore, he to concede the point at once; and not to throw upon either the public estate, or the ratepayers the intolerable expense of an opposition in committee. We believe, in fact, that such a course will be adopted. THE effect of our free-trade policy, if carried out, in determining the fate of our West Indian colonies, is no longer a question for speculation. Furnish • whatever facilities for immigration we may; give to the planter a supply of labour, procured and paid for by the government of the mother country ; the aid thus afforded is only prospective, and will not tempt • the present race of proprietors to continue the cultivation of the soil, with the certainty before them, for some years to come, of a ruinous sacrifice upon every crop which they raise and bring to market. We have now before us a report of an important meeting of planters, held on the 30th October, in the parish of Metcalfe, Jamaica, by the speakers at which this fact is fully established. " From my experience in the management of estates in this quarter, (remarked the first speaker at the meeting in question, Mr. Westmoreland) I am satisfied it costs us not less than 255. per cwt. on good estates to produce sugar, all charges included, excepting interest of capital. Now the Gazette price of sugar by the last packet was 255. 10d., exclusive of duty ; if, then, you deduct from this the cost of freight, insurance, and other charges, which amount to Bs. per cwt., it will give us a nett value of 17s. 10d. for what under favourable circumstances it costs us 255. to produce. It is therefore very plain that to go on with the cultivation of sugar must involve a certain loss — besides there is every probability of its value being more depreciated, when the product of the additional properties, which have been settled in the slave colonies since the equalisation of the duties is brought into the market." Howrnany yearsmust elapse before the planter can be enabled to cheapen the cost of production 7s. 2d. per cwt., or 30 per cent., besides meeting the further deterioration in price which will take place when the foreign producer has brought a largely-increased quantity of land into cultivation, we need scarcely inquire. Still less need we glance at the fact that such reduction of the cost of production must, in a great measure, be relieved by a reduction of the wages of the free labourer, and the lowering of his social position and comforts to something near the level of the slave labourer, with whose products he has to compete. To the professing friends of the negro,' this consideration has always operated powerfully as an argument against any interference with the supply of labour to these colonies. The planter has been accuse( cheaper labour. I - I wished to reduce that of serfdom fishness in se id of him that he e condition of the free negro to r him from his plot of sugar canes as an inevitable necessity of his lot. The introduction of an increased quantity of African labour"was utterly , to change the face of society in that negro's paradise, which British humanity had created ; to check the progress of cultivation in our colonies, and to deprive the negro population of all but the bare name of freemen. Yet our free-trade which compels that population to embark in struggle of Competition with the slave labour of " countries, renders inevitable the course, ' " the supporters of emancipation have „len protesting, unless, indeed, it is t the attempt to raise tropical produce be abandoned.

We make no apology for quoting his remarks entire : " Mr. Smart (a respectable black inhabitant) next spoke.—l feel extremely sorry to see how we are getting on.

Human nature is the same under whatever skin we find it, and it has been the cha racteristic of human nature in all ages of the world to be averse to change of country without the prospect of bettering its lot. rade - 1 ot at a gislators of Great Britain He asks for " protection" indeed, and the term is an unpopular one. But it is protection from a monopoly which is demanded. He says to us— " You have surrounded me with restrictions, and ri you are power cast upon me - to enforce upon my foreign competitor. The re sult is that you give him a monopoly in your mar kets." He asks us only to afford him a prospect of being able to compete on fair terms, and shows us convincingly that we have framed the scale of our fiscal policy so as to shut him out from that prospect. He takes, moreover, a higher ground than this, and reminds us of the national hypocrisy which has made him its victim. Upon this part of the subject we cannot resist quoting the eloquent appeal of Dr. Clarke, one of the speakers of the Metcalfe meeting : " If." says Dr. Clarke, "it were a question purely of free-trade in the fair acceptation of the term—that is of the free interchange of commodities between people all obtaining their goods by the same honest means, or with out any obvious dishonesty, we might be contented to confine our views to those resources, and others of an in ternal nature. But our position is such that unhappily they do not touch the fatal wrong which has laid us pros trate. There is an antecedent—there is a paramount consideration, which even with abundant labour and capital, and with ample resources, must be guaranteed not less to whole communities, before they can lay their account with any profit upon mere honest industry, and that consideration is PROTECTION AGAINST CRIME. Slavery is robbery : robbery of human life ; and before we can pursue our honest cultivation with any prospect of suc cess, we must look for a defence against this robbery. We obtain our labour and pay for it under the sanction of . _ legal obligation and moral principle—we recognise as civilized beings their claims, and exercise our calling under their just restraint, and under the severe but just tax which in a thinly-populated country they impose upon us: and Government forces us to do this. Is it an un reasonable purpose,' or is it a reasonable expectation of ours, to ask that the power which denounced and prohi bited the crime of Slavery on our parts should protect us against that crime at the hands of others ? _ Is it right - , or is it not rigbt,that the State—die'paternalState-- which has stripped us of our weapons of labour, on the ground that they were cruel and unjust, should forthwith turn us out unarmed and naked to an unequal contest with others in full possession of tadr weapons, equally cruel and unjust and exercised by them with ten-fold cruelty and injustice? Is it consistent with national honesty, with sound policy, or with the common principles of right and justice, that Slavery, denounced by you as guilt—prohibited by you here as guilt—should in foreign colonies, and for exchequer purposes, be by you suborned to our ruin ?" We really know not with what arguments such an appeal as this to the justice of the nation can be kssuredly, if ever there was a case in which the princidle of free trade might with propriety be departed from—if ever there was a class which should be excepted from its general application— these are to be found in the British West Indies. Should parliament persevere in subjecting the plan ter and the free labourer to the cruel competition to which they are now subjected—should the nation thus doom to destruction property worth millions, and a population which, cherished by paternal legislation, might be made the most potent instru mentality in human hands of civilizing and spread ing the blessings of Christianity over an entire continent—should it wilfully abandon one of the most noble efforts of philanthropy on record—the British nation will deserve to be branded through out all time as having been guilty of hypocrisy more glaring than has ever before been exhibited to the world. We may withdraw our cruisers from the pestilential coast of Africa, strip off our boasted garb of humanity, and stand up in our true charac tet of a people willing, for selfish saving, to sacrifice " the freedom of man for the freedom of trade." tow - n, and personally seeing that both inspectors, superintendents, and their men, are doing their duty.

One, however, is sufficient, viz., the fact that Parliament has to legislate for the religious institutions of•a Christian people; and the Jew believes Christianity to be a fable and Christ himself an impostor. We have already established the necessity of a limit to the conces sion of civil privileges somewhere. We give the Atheist the protection of the laws. We allow him to vote for members of Parliament, and tolerate him in the possession of other civil rights. But we deny to him the right to give his evidence in a witness box in cases either involving the security of life or of property. We grant our contemporary the truth of all that he says as to the respectability of the great body of the Jewish people, both in Liverpool and elsewhere. We know them to be charitable to their own peo ple ; and that many of them contribute munifi cently to our leading philanthropic institutions, irrespective of any consideration as to the creed of those to be benefitted by them. We know them to be clever, respectable, and intelligent. But that is not the point. The question is, first, are the Jews aggrieved by not being admitted to the privi lege of sitting in a legislature which makes laws for a Christian church; and, secondly, is it safe or right on the part of a Christian people to ad mit them. to such privilege ? The fact urged by the Albion that they are too few in number to do harm is mere trifling. We are not at all disposed to doubt that the step taken by the Watch Committee in resigning into the hands of the head constable the appointment and absolute control of the police force, has been determined upon by them in the full confidence that in so doing they were promoting the public advantage, and securing the more efficient working of the force. At the same time we much regret that we cannot ourselves arrive at the same conclu sion. To us it appears somewhat at war with the premises on which it is grounded. The effect and the cause stand apart. There is a haste, too, and a mystery about the whole proceeding, which induce a fear that it has received much too little consider ation. It is urged that of late the police, as a body, have decreased in their efficiency, Why have they so decreased ? No doubt there are many causes from which such a body may have become, as it has been said to have become, demoralised. The high rate of wages which the class of able-bodied men, such as are required for the service, have been re ceiving during the last few years may have caused the best charactered amongst them to be drafted off to other employments, and deterred equally qualified individuals from offering themselves to supply their places, We believe that, to a consi derable extent, this has been the case. There may, too, have been something faulty in the system upon which they have been of late controlled. The former of these causes can only be met by offering increased inducements to good men. The latter possible cause affords rather a subject for inquiry than for the withdrawal of the control of the daily board, and vesting almost absolute control in the head constable. 'We want to see it clearly made out that Mr. Dowling's energies have been at all checked by the interference of the Watch Commit tee; We want to discover what regulations of his the committee have upset; what scheme of im proved supervision he has proposed which they have refused to adopt ; what ground there is for the assumption that he will be able to effect alone what he has been unable to effect in conjunction with a daily board. It is not sufficient to tell us that the police in Manchester and Birmingham are under the sole management and control of the respective head constables of those towns. There may have been special reasons for so placing them. The Watch Committee in both may have been unable to devote the necessary amount of leisure to the assistance of the head constable ; but in Liver pool we are not in that predicament. We have a body of gentlemen residing in various wards of the town, engaged in its leading businesses, acquainted with local details and local requirements, and capable, day by day, of offering to the head con stable valuable suggestions and information ; and we protest, we cannot see why that officer should seek to be deprived of their active co-operation. It may be an object to Mr. Dowling to pick and appoint his own men; to punish his own men, or reward them by promotion; but we have certainly never heard that suggestions of his, with respect to such appointments have been lightly treated by the committee, or that his efforts to improve the morale of the force have been obstructed by the committee's introduction of had materials to work with. Obvious enough it is that there has been defective management or imperfect superintendence some where. The men have been too much their own masters ; but why, we are not informed. Perhaps the staff of inspectors and superintendents has been too limited, or they have imperfectly performed their duty; but we cannot discover what additional op portunities of seeing that such duty is strictly attended to will be afforded to the head constable by the change proposed, The hours devoted by him to attendance upon the committee may indeed be a slight tax upon his time; but we should ima gine that the same attendance at the office will have to be given to receive the reports of the various superior officers, and to investigate the truth of complaints ; and, moreover, the hours in the fore noon thus employed are not those in which it is most desirable that the head constable should be engaged in visiting the different divisions of the ing through a transition state," he says; and cer tainly a sad transition state it has been for th British merchant, the weaver, the spinner, and the manufacturer. Keep us from such "transition states." Mr. Cobden tells us that "he never dealt in prophecies," but he " possibly might have told the working men that with free trade in corn we should have American flour at 17 1 2 - - d. 'per lb." He might also have said that "we should have more mills and more employment, more houses, more car riages" !—(for the manufacturer, of course)— " more churches and chapels." Has either of these prophecies been fulfilled ? Neither. The farmer, he says, has not been ruined. Why ? Because American flour has not 'been selling at per lb.; and the farmer has been able, by the price which he has been receiving, and because we have not yet had free trade, to buy from the mann facturer, and to employ the labourer. Without the home trade, where would have been the manu facturing interest at this moment? But the leading excuse of the charlatan is that he has not had cheap Cotton. That material however was as cheap to him as the rest of the world, except to the producer ; and everybody told him that the producer would keep back that com modity from the British Manufacturer, Spinner, _ . and 'Weaver for himself. Then we have the pota toe rot dwelt upon ; but all this time in forgetful ness of the promise that the more we bought of the foreigner the more he would buy from us. We have the railways too flung in our face ; but why not construct more railways as well as more mills, more houses, and more carriages ? The wind-up of this lame and impotent story is the assertion that we may save £17,000,000 a-year in the expenses of the army, the navy, and the ordnance. We could save infinitely more by withdrawing the sub sidies granted in various ways to such shallow empirics as Mr. Richard Cobden. THE PURCHASE OF THE WATER COMPANIES been of much importance ; on Friday an agreement was made with the Harrington Company and the Corporation for postponing further proceedings until after the sth of January, 1848. By this arrangement the Water Company will be enabled to prepare their balance sheet for 1847. The Accountant appointed by the Arbitrator, intends proceeding with the examination of the Bootle Company's books and accounts to-morrow, (Wednesday.) And we believe Mr. Stephenson will visit Liverpool in a few days, for the purpose of making a personal survey of the Works of both Companies. Under these circumstances the award will probably not be made until the middle of next month. MEETING FOR SECURINO THE RATING OF THE DOCK WAREHOUSES. Last evening, a meeting WA3 held at the Clarendon rooms, clnvened by circular, " for the purpose of consi dering what measures should be adopted to secure the insertion of a clause in the Act of Parliament to be applied for by the Liverpool Dick Committee, which shall subject the future warehouses of that Trust to their fair share of the local taxes." The summonses had only been sent to the Conservative and Liberal chairmen of the different wards of the town, consequently the meeting was not a very numerous one. The chair was taken by Mr J. R. Jeffrey, who briefly explained the reasons why they had been called together. Some members of the Select Vestry had intimated to him, as one of the tra•le;min of the town, that the former body were not in & position to op pose the hill, and suggested the propriety of a movement on the part of the tradesmen to use their influence upon the Council to prorrcrre the insertion of the clause required, having been disappointed in not finding in the bill such clause. The Albert. Warehouses, he reminded them, were taxed to the local rates to the amount of £3OOO a year; and, as there was-a technical difficulty in the Dick Committee and the Council ratinz themselves on account of a property in which they had no interest, the only course was for the ratepayers to make a movement them selves to coerce both bodies. The Dock Committee were about to expend £309.000 upon D Eck Warehouses, which object to the ratepayers, especially as to form these ware houses they would have to pull down property paying at present £30,000 a year to the parish funds. It was here proposed that Mr. Payne, solicitor, should be invited to act as secretary to the meeting, who produced the bill proposed. Previous to its being read, the Chairman stated that the present rateable property of the port amounted to one million sterling ; and the £300,000 to be spent on the warehouses would, therefore, produce nearly one-third of the required income. He also read a statement of the amounts for which the Dock Committee were rated, in order to show that they had little interest in the matter as compared with the tradesmen present. Mr. Alderman Cooper attended there to give every aid to the parties seeking for the inser'ion of the clause. He was the first person who mooted in the Council the inser tion of the rating clause in the Albert Dock Bill, which met with such a warm reception in the Council that the Dock Committee were induced Y.', emsent to the clause, which was subsequently pressed in Parliament by the Mr. SMETHURST announced that t ian Society had memorialized the churchwardens to call a meeting of the Vestry on the subject to-morrow, for which meeting circulars were issued. A short, discussion took place as to the power of a ma )rity of the Council to insert the clause, or to refer the stated to be the opinion of the Town Clerk that the parish authorities were too late to give the necessary notices for the insertion of the clause. Mr. THORNELY, on the part of the Select Vestry, stated that they could not give such notice, not having seen the bill in time to learn that the clause was omitted. A gentleman stated, on the . authority of a party who clause required wasinthe rough draft of the bill, which circumstance lulled the parochial authorities into a false security Doctor BRADEEY proposed a voluetary rate being raised to oppose the bill in committee, as, on a former occasion, there being no power in the Select Vestry to allow any of the funds raised for the relief the poor to paying the cost of a parliamentary opposition, as such expenditure would not be passed by the Poor Law Commissionars. Mr. M`MlLLetrt proposed that the chairman of the various wards should wait upon their representatives. He and his friends had waited to-day upon the three members for Pitt-street Ward, and that all would support a ruling clause. Another speaker said he had seen several members to day, who told him that all that was required was to get up a pressure from without. A discussion took place as to the best course to be pur sued, the time being so short previously to the meeting of the Council. It was proposed by Mr. APPLEBEE that the Chaiman of the wards should call at once upon their members. Mr. WATSON proposed that they should strengthen the hands of their members by the adoption of a memorial to be adopted by this meeting, and that a eopy should be sent to each ward for signature. Mr. BRADLEY seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Messrs. Watson, Urquhart, the Chairman, and the Secretary, were then appointed a committee to draw up the memorial, and retired for the purpose. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS. LONDON CORN MARKET -YESTERDAY The attendance of both London and country buyers being good, the demand for all descriptions of Wheat of home produce was somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of from is. to 2s. per quarter, and at which a good clearance was readily effected. With Foreign Wheat we were not to say extensively supplied, and a considerable portion of it was of very inferior quality. Fine dry samples were in good request, at Is. per quarter more money. In all other kinds a moderate amount of busi ness was transacted at full prices. . . The show of barley was small tendency. Iroreign Barley was certainly dearer. The quantity of Malt being scarcely adequate to meet the wants of the brewers, that article was firm, at fully the prices paid on Monday last. There were scarcely any Oats in the market. Fine dry par cels moved off steadily, at a trifle more money, while the mid dling and inferior kinds were quite as high as last advised. Owing to the large imports, the sale for Beans was heavy, at a further reduction in the quotations of Is. per quarter. In Peas, the supply of which was small, exceedingly little was doing at late rates. Indian Corn was dull, but Indian Meal, as well as Rye Flour, supported previous quotations. For Flour we had an im proved demand, but we can notice no actual improvement in value. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, -YESTERDAY The supply of beasts being what may be termed a moderate one, and the attendance of both town and country buyers large, the Beef trade was somewhat active, and, in some instances, the quotations ruled very high. . _. . . .. ... The primest Scots, Devons, and Herefords sold readily, a from ss. 6d. to ss. Bd. per 81bs., indeed ss. 10d. per 81bs. was realised in some cases. and the value of all other breeds had an upward tendency. *. From the north, we received about 1,600 short horns; from the eastern, western, and midland counties, 1,800; Herefords,, runts, Devons, &c. • ' from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; and, from Scotland, 250 horned and polled Scots. With Sheep we were scantily supplied for the time of year, owing to which the Mutton trade was firm, at an improvement in currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of 2d. per 81bs. ; the primest old Downs selling readily at ss. 4d. per Sibs. The supply of Calves was tolerably extensive, yet the Veal trade was steady at last week's prices. In Pigs comparatively little business, but late rates were well supported.

The pecuniary responsibility of Mr. the Chrisf— - - "' " `ves of the present Sian public will avau demse, opportunity of aiding his benevolent exertions. A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.—We have already stated that the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge have petitioned against the admission of Jews into the House of Commons. We perceive from the provincial papers that many clerical meetings have been held in various archdea conries for the same purpose, and we are glad to hear that Dr. Arlsreile has prepared for the signatures of his con gregation a petition of a similar kind—a step which, to adopt the words of the clergy of the archdeaconry of Bed ford, " does not seem inconsistent with the quiet, unob trusive character of our sacred calling, but rather simply incumbent upon us in our ministerial capacity." A CONVERT.—The Albion, which has always been a thorough free-trader; seems now to be in doubt as to the policy of his pet measure: • In announcing, yesterday, the re-imposition, in March next, of the duties on corn, he adds, " The once much-abused ' fixed duty' is now a popular measure, and it :is an axiom everywhere but in Manchester that a moderate duty on all kinds of grain and flour would not advance the price of bread one iota, while it would save us from an empty exchequer." If, a couple of years ago,_ we _had made such a statement, the Albion would have 'laughed at it as the climax of absur dity. Our contemporary is not, however, the first who has acknowledged a similar error. RATING OF DOCK WAREHOUSES.—The churchwardens received last night a requisition numerously signed by the parishioners requesting them to calla meeting of the rate payers, to consider the Dock Warehouse Bill, with special reference to the non-insention of a clause rendering the warehouses liable to parish rates. As it is desirable the meeting should take place prior to the special meeting of the Council to-morrow, the churchwardens have called a special vestry meeting of the inhabitants to-day (Tuesday), at twelve o'clock. Of course it is desirable that the vestry which will be held in St. Nicholas's church, should be as numerously attended as possible, and as every parishioner gy interested ne quest ion, no dou PETITION OF RIGHT.—On Saturday, this form of pr?- ceeding was heard before commissioner. It has its origin in a grant from Magna Charta, which prescribes that pro ceedings against a King must be by petition of right. The case was a highly important one—the petitioners being a—A THE COTTON MARKET. There was yesterday' a very moderate demand from consumers, and the wales did not exceed 3000 bales, with out any change in prices. It would seem as if we had got to the lowest point, for it is understood that offers for large parcels have been refused as low, which looks like holders making a stand. The imports are light, and likely to be so for some months, which, with increased consumption, will tell on our diminishing stocks. A fire broke out on Saturday night, in a hayloft of Mr. Bruce, Beacon-lane, Everton. The damage was trifling. BASE COlN.—Yesterday, a man, named John Clarke, was committed for trial, charged with passing a base shilling.—A woman, named Mary Jones, was committed for passing a similar base coin. Yesterday, Mr. Rushton required a Jew pauper to find two sureties in £lO to keep the peace towards Mr. Woolf, whom he had insulted grossly, whilst that gentleman was administering the alms contributed by the wealthy Jews to their poorer brethren. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a meet ing of this Board hell on lhe 7th instant, Captain John Harrison, late master of the Dorothea, of Liverpool, and now of the ship Thomas Sparks ; and Capt. John Cock shott Bland, late master of the Larpent, of Liverpool, were examined, and found duly qualified for first-class masters' certificates. ABUSE OF CHLOROFORM. — We are informed that a girl, on Friday night, was subjected to a strong dose of chloro form, but did not sleep, and from that time till yesterday she suffered intense pain, amounting almost to paralysis in the right arm and left knee, downwards. The poor girl was relieved yesterday. This should serve as a warning against trifling with so powerful an agent. UTTERING BASE COlN.—There were no fewer than six cases of persons charged with uttering counterfeit coin, brought before Mr. Rushton yesterday ; and, as the offence appears to be greatly on the increase, the public would do well to be upon their guard, especially as regards half-crowns, many clever counterfeits of which have made their appearance. EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—The ship Countess of Sefton, Captain Wheeler, arrived in Liverpool on Sunday last, having performed the voyage from hence to Val paraiso and back in seven months and seventeen days, discharging- about 500 tons of cargo there, and taking on another o flour, in bags, being the first in any quanty of Chilian growth brought to this port. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO OLIVER HATCH, ESQ. —We see in the window of Mr. Mayer, Lord-street, an elegant and richly chased silver tea service, about to be presented to Mr. Hatch, on which is engraved the follow ing complimentary inscription :—" Presented to Oliver Hatch, Esq., by a few Conservative friends, for his devoted zeal and untiring exertions in maintaining the constitu tional principles of St. Ann's Ward. Liverpool, Nov. mneccxnvii. ' The testimonial has been well earned by Mr. Hatch, and its presentation does honour to the donors. The creditors of Messrs. Barton, Irlam, and Higginson held a meeting at the Clarendon-rooms yesterday, at 12 o'clock : about 40 gentlemen were present. John Lockett, Esq., was called to the chair. The following resolutions were put, and carried unanimously :—Resolved,—" That this meeting is of opinion that it is advisable for the benefit of every person concerned that endeavours should be made to procure a supersedeas of the fiat in bankruptcy of the estate." Resolved,—" That the following gentlemen be appointed a committee to obtain information, and confer with the trustees of the Royal Bank, as to the best method of carrying out the above resolution, viz. :—John Lockett, Esq., chairman; James M. Wood, Esq.; Mr. J. J. Hatton, Mr. Thomas Maddock, and Mr. James Brook." Several other matters of minor importance were entered into ; and, after a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, the meeting separated. THE WEATHER.—During the last seven days, we had, at the commencement especially, a good deal of blowy weather, from various parts of the compass, with occasional heavy falls of rain. On Friday there was little or no wind, but a thick and soaking rain fell during the whole day. The late gales have not been so fruitful in casualties to shipping in this coast as on the east side of the island. It has fo r o occasionally iloans last bl fortnight,wn v b e u r y t e f o r e m s h p a i r n a t o i u , r e l o y u l t i tlwardlittle d chan nelsag has been done, thanks to the effectual lighting and buoying of our outward channels. Sunday and yesterday were fine days for the season, and it is probable that, after the heavy i en wouldh thes e localities, b equite q w u e may s sea sonable. The open weather enables the farmer to pro ceed experienced wh frost with field labour, draining, preparing ground for the downfallsreasonably w e expect havea spring, &c. Outdoor labour of other kinds also proceeds. There is still good grazing in meadows that have been attended to. BRUTAL ASSAULTS.—A rough-looking fellow, named Michael Mitten, was yesterday committed for trial for having knocked down and kicked over the face a man named John Rice, in Waterloo-road, on Friday night. The wounds were of a frightful nature.—Another charge of assault was preferred by a woman, named Elizabeth M`Donald, against Patrick Campbell, a mason. The man was quarrelling with his wife, about four o'clock on Sunday morning, and dragging her about the street by the hair of the head, when complainant interfered, for which she was knocked down the steps of a cellar, and in her fall an infant was ejected from her arms, and lay much injured at a distance from the mother. The prisoner con tended that the woman he was ill-treating was his wife, and that, therefore, no third party ought to have inter fered with him. Mr. Rushton took another view of the case, which was shown in his fining the man £5, or in default to be imprisoned two months. He was also re- quired to find sureties, *himself in £2O, and two others in £lO each, or be imprisoned three months. IMPORTANT TO SHIP MASTERS AND SEAMEN.---O n Saturday, William Groves, seaman, summoned Captain Davies, of the " Reogfield," from Quebec, for £7 165., balance of wages for services as seaman, from Quebec to this port. The service and agreement having been proved, Mr. Davenport, for the defendant, elicited from the compainant in cross examination, that he had deserted from the " Egliostoa,"• at Quebec, whereupon Mr. Rush ton declared the complainant not entitled to any wages, and ordered the amount due to be paid into court ; and being informed of six other seamen who had neither register ticket, or a discharge from their last ship, post poned their cases until Wednesday, and said, he was determined to punish men who deserted their ships, and declared that .for the future all mariners who had no tickets or discharge, should first obtain a new ticket from the Customs, and pass through the ordeal of an exami nation there, before he would make any order for wages, and, where a_man confessed himself a deserter, no wages would be granted him, and warned the men present that Catherine Rolisozi and Isabella Ainsly- - who traced ` teal descent back to Sir Robert Troutbeck, who was curate of Newton, Cumberland, in the days of Shakspeare. in answer to a gyestion from Lord Jocelyn, The property claimed by the petitioners interest, to the immense sum of £435,759, and the jury found that .the petitioners were entitled to it as the next of kin of Samuel Troutbeck, the testator. The property was seized by King George the Third. EAST INDIAN RAIL WA VS.—ln the House of Commons, ,_ . , Ermluction of new attractions, which it will be seen is to Mr. C.

THE PRASLIN TRAGEDY.—The Droit states that Mademoiselle Deluzy has commenced a suit against Mar' shal Sebastiani for the payment of an annuity of 3,00 francs (£120), bequeathed by the Duke of Praslin to the governess of his children by a will executed in the year 1843. Mademoiselle Deluzy demands, moreover, that several articles of furniture given her by her former pupill shall be restored to her, and she further demands the re payment of a sum of money which, she asserts, was con fided by her for side keeping to the late Duke of Praslin. THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT OF COUNT MORTIER ON THE LIVES OF HIS CHILDREN.—The circumstances connected with the rescue of the children of Count Mortier, at the Hotel Chatham, in Paris, on the 7th of November last, at the moment when he was supposed to be about to immo late them, must be fresh in the reader's recollectiOn.

POISONED WELLS.—Any one passing Richmond-ter race, Clifton, during the last week or ten days,-must have the neighbourhood. The reason for this formidable dis play was the existence of illness in almost every second house, the inhabitants of which were afflicted with gastric fever. It was not, however, until one death took place► and several were in imminent danger, that the cause of this extensive illness was discovered, when it turned out to be produed by the use of a spring which supplied the place, and whose waters had been imperceptibly poisoned by a sewer breaking into it, and so greatly vitiating their character as to cause gastric fever in every family usingit• —Bristol Times. CULTIVATION Or COTTON IN INDIA.—On Friday a meeting of the. Manchester Commercial Association o' B l held at their rooms in King-street, for the purpose cu meeting Mr. Petrie, assistant to D. Wight, superinten dent of the East India Company's farm at Coimbatore, es'ablished for the cultivation of cotton from American seed. Mr. Petrie produced samples of cotton grown on the farm, which were pronounced to be equal to any that had ever been brought from New Orleans, and which he showed could be produced at a much lower price than cotton from America. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Turner (the chairman) stated that, by the permission of the chairman of the East India Company, the experi ment was made at his (Mr. T.'s) suggestion, and it was a• remarkable fact that the suggestion had been sent to Manchester, and acted upon, and the cotton produced and delivered in Manchester, again in a space of time considerably less than twelve months. The meeting ap peared well satisfied with the experiment. HEALTH OF TOWNS ASSOCIATION.—A public meeting _ _lanover-square Rooms, London. There was a numerous attendance.
