tirely the reverse. He was exceedingly sorry that Mr. Rath bone should thus have looked OR it. ( Hear.) He hadthougist that if be then entered into any explanation it wouldappear to inter fere with the argument He intended to have expressed his sorrow then as he now did of the great sorrow he felt that Mr. Rathbone should have felt it. Mr. Councillor RATHBONE said, being himself apt to give of fence unintentionally lie was not willing to take offence. He would now go on. He was authorised to state by that report, that, after mature deliberation, they had arrived at the conclu sion to recommend that there should be a salary of £2,500 given to the town-clerk, and £lOOO for the assistant. lit consistency with that report he therefore moved that the salary of the as sistant should be £lOOO per annum. But one word about h im self; he found some members of that committee came and voted against their own determination. Mr. Maxwell and 31r. Hey worth, who were on that committee, (according to the reports,) had done so. He was sure that the fault was not theirs but his; and that he had not been a competent chairman of that com mittee, to obtain an unanimous opinion, and, therefore, it was his duty not to fill a situation for which he was not competent. • He should therefore after this resign his office as chairman' of that committee into the hands of the Mayor, who was chairman ex officio, to summon them for all further meetings. He did as sure them that he was speaking this in the simplicity which had ever characterised his feelings both there and elsewhere. He had no feelings of pique from personal considerations, and as a proof of that, he would do what he could under an abler chair man; he should be happy to give his most cheerful and ready assistance to aid him in getting through his arduous duties. After those votes given in the council he never could, and he never would be the chairman of a committee where he had not been able to draw from them a deliberate opinion. He was sure it would very much interfere with the business of the councilif such a course was pursued as members of committees voting contrary to the decisions of their own committee. He could easily believe that the council could attach no weight to that report if it was not the deliberate opinion of the committee. Every member of a committee was responsible for a report whether he attended his committee or not; they ought to feel that the rhiirmau was not to take the responsibility on himself. He felt that in moving £lOOO a year as the salary of the assist ant town-clerk, that he was doing it in consistency with the in structions he had received from that committee. He had no doubt a much smaller sum would be proposed by that council. But he hoped the council would not think this sum too much, to use the hackneyed phrase, as a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence. He would not go over the duties of the assistant town-clerk. They were of a multifarious nature, requiring great talents, and, if he might use the term, physical capabtli ties. He would only rest his argument on one ground, that was, they must have a man of conciliatory habits and legal ca pabilities in order to secure the canfidence of the public; be cause from the arrangements they had made he was to conduct the prosecutions. But this was not compulsory, and if he was not a man possessing the confidence of the public they should lose the £l5OO a year they expected to gain by those prosecu tions. Let them not then for a saving of a few pounds select an incompetent person; one who was not from his situation in society and his attainments calculated to secure the confidence of the public, If they did so, they would he penny wise and pound foolish indeed. He should move in consistency with the report " that the salary of the assistant be £lOOO a year. The MAYOR said it might assist the council to tell them that he bad an application before him from a gentleman who pro posed to fill the situation for £5OO. It was right that that should be known before they proceeded, Mr. Councillor MAXWELL felt it necessary, after what had been said b y Mr. Rathbone, to address a few words t o th em . He not deliberated very maturely on this subject, and he had not known that he belonged to the committee of which Mr. Rathbone was chairman; he was not aware till the day that re port was read in the committee that the late town-clerk's com mittee, of which he was a member, and that committee were consolidated. After having been in the room several hours, Mr. Rathbone entered, followed by Mr. Radcliffe and several other gentlemen, and they (the late town-clerk's committee) were about to retire, when Mr. Rathbone said, "No, no," you are on this committee—remain." He was not before aware of it, and bad never deliberated on it. Mr. Rathboneinunediately palled out a report from his pocket, of which he (Mr. M.) knew no thing, and he (Mr. ' M.) made some observations on it which were not very well received. But the salary being supported by Mr. Morecroft and Mr. Rathbone, he did give Mr. Rath bone his confidence. He perhaps put too much confidence in him, thinking that he had m o re inf orma ti on on th e quest i on than he (Mr. - M.) had, for he had none. He conceived there was no inconsistency on his part. He was perhaps to blame in not protesting against £2,500; he was to blame in putting con fidence in Mr. Rathbone and Mr. Morecroft. When Mr. Birch's amendment was put to the vote he was willing to give it a fair trial, and it was carried; and, as it was carried, he con fessed that he was wrong in placing that confidence in Mr. Rathbone that he was inclined to do, for Mr. Rathbone had told him that the town clerk's emoluments were £2,:.',0J a-year, and he would not take less as his salary, and the result had proved otherwise. Mr. Councillor L. HEYWORTH must, as one of that commit tee, beg to offer almost similar remarks. When he entered the committe-room he supposed that they were entering on the bu siness of the late town-clerk, which appeared to him to be all they had in view. Instead, however, of taking the course he supposed they would take, the discussion turned upon the sa laries of the present town-clerk and his assistant. He could not conceive then how this arose out of the discussion he was prepared to expect, and as he entered the room rather late, and as he thought Mr. Rathbone and Mr. Morecroft might know inure about the matter, he did not say anything. He ought to blame himself, and be did blame himself for giving his assent to that report. Mr. Councillor HENRY LAWRENCE said he was originally on this committee, but had not been summoned; after a long in terval he was summoned to a meeting a fortnight ago; and he did perhaps go further on that occasion than afterwards he thought right. He thought the salary appointed for the town clerk not too much. But as to the drawing up of that report he knew nothing at all of it—he had nothing to do with it. The MAYOR would ask if these remarks bore on the subject - under diicussion (hear, hear ;) or was it consistent with the dig nity and character of that council to go into this recrimination. Ile did not conceive if, on the discussion of the report of a com mittee, the council alieted that report, that it implied any want of confidence in the chairman of that committee. He hoped the council would see that they were doing an injury to them selves in prosecuting this subject. (Cheers.) Mr. Councillor RATHBONE rose amidst loud cries of " Order." He begged to state in reply—(" Order," " Order," " Chair.") If he were not perusitted to speak he would sit down. He thought, under the peculiar circumstances under which he was placed, that he ought to have a little forbearance. He seldom got up without having something to say, and he did not so very frequently trouble that council. There had been some thing said about recrimination, he did not - wish any recrimina tion ; but there had beets something said about the getting up of that report. He did feel it his duty, as the chairman of that committee, to work early and late in order to get the assistance of the town-clerk when he was not engaged on other committees. lie thought it important to do so, and be begged the committee to remember why he thought it important—it was that proceed ings were going on likely to lead the town-clerk up to. London, and that matter ought to be arranged before he went up. He remembered exactly the words he made use of at the time, he said, " this is the skeleton of a report for you to decide upon ;" and he said, "if you are not prepared to come to some decision on this report, and I give you the details on which it is founded, it is better to adjourn then come to a hasty decision;" and that report was read twice over, and the particulars of all the infor mation which he had collected were developed as the grounds on which it was drawn up. He thought it was but his duty to himself, as chairman of the committee, to furnish all the infor mation he could to arrive at a conclusion. (Hear.) Mr. Councillor BOLTON considered the proposition for a sa lary of a £lOOO a year was now withdrawn; it had not been se conded. — MT.Councillor MAXWELL said, the town-clerk had just re minded him that he did not enter the room with Mr. Rathbone. On further reflection be believed that was not correct. The TowN-cLeRK.—Not only did he not enter the room, but he was engaged at the time at a meeting with the Mayor on the subject of the newspaper tax; and when he did enter the room the committee were discussing on the terms on which the condi tions of the salary should be stated. When he first indulged the expectation of his appointment being peimanent, he thought that £2lOO per annum was a sufficient salary; but when he found that he was to g ive up his private p rac ti ce, h e di d th i nk that £2500 was not too much. He communicated with his friends, and they thought that £2500 was the proper remunera tion. The question had been decided on by the council, as ar bitrator betwixt himself and the public. He thought their judgment better than his own. He thought he was correct in forming that opinion, and he thought he had proved what he said when he come to the conclusion that £2(xoo was the proper amount, and neither more nor less than the proper amount. (Applause.) Mr. Councillor Bot.TON.—lf no one seconded Mr. Rathbone's proposition he should end with proposing a sum instead. He was quite aware that the duties the deputy town-clerk would have to perform were of a very difficult nature, and that it was proper that the gentleman filling that situation should be of good address, and be able to live in comfort and independence. At the same time, he thought with propriety he might be a much younger man than the gentleman who tilled the higher office of town-clerk. There were advantage s in having a young gen tleman in that situation; it gave him a knowled g e o f business, and brought him into contact with others of the profession; and he thought the salary was not altogether a question to be deter mined by the amount, as from its indirect advantages. With this view of the subject, he believed that a competent person would be happy to fill the office for a less sum than £,lOOO a year. The amount of the sums it appeared to him, in the first instance, ought to be £2OOO for the one and £6OO fur the other. With reference to the person who would fill the office, lie had taken the liberty of asking amongst a few of his friends, and their impression was rather in favour of £70 , ) per annum, with the prospect of placing himself afterwards more advantageously. He would therefore move " that £7OO per annum be the salary of the deputy town-clerk," and, if he was quite in order, he would add, in the manner in which Mr. Birch had done with the town-clerk, Mr. Crook's name for the appointment. The MA yOli.—You are quite out of order in naming any in dividual. Mr. Councillor Bor.ToN.—Then be would propose "that the salary of the town-clerk be £7OO per annum, with the same re striCtions as to fees as the town-clerk." Mr. Councillor EARLE was very sorry that the salary of COO should be named, because it seemed fitted for an individual and not for the office. (Cries of "order.") He did not know that he was out of order; when he heard a gentleman named in con nection with the salary. If he was, the Mayor would perhaps correct him. The MAYOR.—You are not. Mr. Councillor EAR LE.—He understood there was a very able man in the office of the town-clerk, and as in their committees they were extremely desirous of retaining those on the service who were already there, if they could do it consistently with the public good, he for one would never, for the sake of any private friendship, do a public injustice. (Hear.) He was told that there was a gentleman in the office who was quite as efficient as Mr. Crook. He thought £5OO was quite ample payment, and he should propose it. Mr. Suter, would ask if the gentleman who solicited the situ ation for £5OO was in the service of the t own -h a ll . The TOWN- CLE RK said that when he entered this office he found clerks appointed and who had b een p a id b y M r. F oster. (Hear, hear.) Itliecante necessary for him to make some ar -th• a e nge tne ts with th ose gentlemen, and the necessity of the case, conceived, gave him authority to come to an understanding with them tha i t ,i tla a ei tir eton: f inued in their officers: subject to re moval on the Wou. the council, and that till that pleasure was expressed they as before. Id continue to receive the same emolu mentsr. Councillor RaTiinotsx-s, oazthe gentleman who called out order" when Mr. Earle e, said he did so in perfect good humour. He must say% ndotleman who assumed to himself independence and disinterestors assumed that others heewxpense of the public, were serving private friendships at he was questioning motives of which as unconscious, and was out of order. - Had he been in the situation of Mr Bolton be should have thought it a very unwarrantable imputa tion e, Cause his friend Mr. Earle was a little too flippant in assuming to himself exclusive independence. The MAYOR.—Order! I call order, M r . R athbone. Mr. Co C ncittor n A Tit ONE.-1 beg pard on . Mr. Councillor EA It LE. —1 ou are always offending au db eg i ging pardon. Mr. Councillor RATABONE (with very great warmth.)—l was nut out of order, and 1 do nut think it necessary for him to say 1 was. (Loud cries of " Order.") Mr. Councillor Coo LAN would move that they should proceed to business. The MAYOR would be very glad to do so if they could. Mr. Councillor Coot.a 1 , 1 thought, whether the motion for £5OO salary was seconded' or not, that the office of deputy town clerk was a very important one; and whether a gentleman chose to offer to fill the office for £lOO or £2OO a-year was nut the question. They ought to consider what was due to them selves in giving a salary adequate to what they considered ought to be a ieruuneration for his services. He thought the sum fixed on by Mr. Bolton was the haypy medium. They ought to argue on the broad scale of what was right. He should therefore second the •proposition of Mr. Bolton, that the sum fixed be £7OO a-year. Ur. COuncillor E. SMITH would ask if he was in order to second Mr. Earle's motion ? Tire MAYOR.—He was really too late; he should collect him self in time; but he might put it to the council. (Cries of "A 0, no.") Mr. Councillor E. SMITH would then move a fresh amend ment, and would state his reasons. It, had been stated that £7OO a-year was only an adequate compensation. He under stood they had a letter before them tendering services for £5OO a-year. He thought it would be better for them to ascertain whether the gentleman making that application was a fit per son, in order that they might not fix £7OO a-year as the salary and afterwards find that the gentleman making the offer of £5OO was equally competent with any other. His amendment would be rather different froth Mr. Earle's ; he should take the medium of £6OO, and would move "'That £6OO be the salary of the assistaut town-clerk, and that it be left, to the town-clerk him self to choose his assistant, subject to the revision of the council . (Loud cries of "No, no.") The MAYOR said Mr. Smith had stated a point independent of the question before them. He wished, however, to take the opinion of the council whether the question as to the gentleman offering his services for £5OO per annum should be answered? (Cries of " No, no.") Mr. Councillor EA aLE.--Were they to resist information on so important a question as this ? Mr. Cooncilho.l3t , LTuN.--We don't. require it. Mr. COuncillOr EauLE.—l do require it. (Cries of "So do y fly Mr. Alderman RoßiNsoN.—Then, injustice to the other gen tlemen who had applied, they must have a god-father for every application. After some further conversation, in which it was u rge d b y Mr. BLACKBURN that they should consider the question ‘. ab stractedlv," and in Which,M r. BOuroX justified his motion, as si milar to 'Mr. Birch's; the MAYOR stating that there was no simi larity whatever, Mr. S'NIITH withdrew his motion. Mr. Councillor HENRY LAWRENCE sa i d if there was no 1110- tion before the meeting, he would move " That £6OO be the salary." Mr. Councillor EA II LE'seconded the motion. Mr. Alderman Ev es supported the motion of Mr. Bolton. He conceived that the man occupying the situation of deputy town-clerk ought to have a salary nearer th e t own - c l er k. And with regard to the offer made, ,if they were to make the salary Eltrd a-}'ear, they would have offers made, • if they made the salary very low now; perhaps, after a few /ears, there would be an application to raise the salary to wolf than £7OO. A man ocOupying that situation ought to live respectably, and th e y all knew what £7OO a-year was. The MA Y .—A motion was made-for £7OO a-year, and an amendment fur £6OO a-year. They would now proceed to the division. The votes were then taken, when there were for the amend ment, 15; against it, -11 ; viz. :—For the amendment—Messrs. Horsfall, E. Smith, M'Gregor, Barton, Birch, H. Hornby, Maxwell, Aikin, H. Lawrence, Earle, C.,..H01t, Tayleur, Freme, T. Smith, and the Mayor. Against it—Messrs. J. Holmes, Logan, Thornhill, Shed, Harvey, Thornely, Ravvdon, H. Holmes, L. Hevworth, Mellor, Walmsley, Bolton, 'Woollright, Rushton, Rathlcone, Preston, Lassen, T. Holt, Carson, Brockle bank, Morecroft, Blackburn, Roskell, Coglan, E. Cropper, Alison, .I'. Cropper, Jordan, Duncan, Evans, Blain, 0. Hey worth, Moon, Bulky, Barclay, Robinson, Stuart, Booth, Brown, Jones, and Benn. The 'MA YOR.—They would now decide on the individual. Mr. Councillor BIRCH thought that many gentlemen might have made application thinking that the sal ar y wou ld b e £l,OOO per annum. He thought it better. to name some other day. He wquld make a motion, " that the question be postponed till the next council," (No, no.) •• Mr. Councillor H. LAWRENCE seconded the motion. Mr. Councillor BLACKBURN proposed that they should imme diately proceed. They were in precisely the same circann stances as they had been with regard to the town-clerk. Mr. Councillor ROBINSON seconded the motion. Mr. Councillor MO RECROFT said he was instructed to with draw Mr. 'Worthington's application. Mr. Councillor EA RLE would support the postponement. He wished to ascertain some particulars respecting an individual applying for the office. Mr. Councillor H. LAWRENCE thought that many rnightcome forward at a salary of £7OO a year, who would not presume to offer themselves at a salary of £l,OOO a year. He would always support modest merit. Mr. Councillor SH tEL had listened to the question of postpone ment, but all arguments offered in its favour appeared to him to be offered on wrong premises. Mr. Lawrence told them that many men might think themselves worth £7OO a year, who might not think themselves worth £l,OOO. They had not time to waste on such absurdities. Every man was likely to fix his full value upon himself. All they had now to do was to name the best man that had applied. If he should think proper to refuse the offer, they might at their next meeting substitute another in bis place. Mr. Alderman BROWN was afraid the public service would suffer if the deputy town-clerk were not appointed then, as the town-clerk would in all probability have to proceed to London. The question was then put, " Whether they should proceed or not?' and it was carried by a large majority that they should proceed. The MAYOR said it was now his duty to lay before them the applications he had received. The TOWN-CLERK then read an application from Mr. Fisher, of Temple-court, stating that he had been twelve yi.ars an at torney in the town, and was otherwise qualified for the office. An application was then read from Mr. Holt, which Mr. Councillor Holt, on behalf of his son, begged to withdraw. An application was read from Mr. Lowe, of the town-clerk's office, stating that he had for three years managed the business of the town-clerk's office, and was otherwise qualified for the office of deputy town-clerk, and offering to fill the situation for £5OO per annum. An application was read from Mr. Frederick Rowlandson, of Drury-lane, representing himself as capable of fulfilling the duties. An application was made by Mr. William Crooke, offering himself for the situation, and stating that he had been in private practice eight years. An application was made by Mr. Keighley for the clerk of the peace's office.—A member of the council begged to with draw the application, stating that Mr. Keighley thought it " beneath his notice." The MAYOR begged to speak, as a member of the council, as to one of the candidates, Mr. Lowe. He had asked the opinion of the assessor as to that individual. and he had told him that he thought he had perfect experience in his practice; that he was a man of unwearied diligence, perfectly acquainted with his duties, and of much ability, though diffident in his manners. He should not he doing his duty if be did not mention this. Mr. MORRCROFT said, after the Mayor had mentioned the merits of Mr. Lowe, it would only be fair to mention the merits of other individuals. He should propose Mr. Fisher, and he did so having a perfect knowledge of his abilities and his effi ciency as a notary, a lawyer, and a conveyancer ' and as having sound legal knowledge and a happy measure o f health to 'fit him for the office. If elected, he would be a right arm to the town:. clerk. He would submit that they should as a council elect no gentleman who had been in. office under the late toWn-clerk. Mr. Lowe would do. all he could to obtain the late town clerk coin pensation. The M A YOR.—No member of the council had a right to make any insinuations against any gentleman whatever. Mr. Councillor MoriEcaosT knew it for fact that Mr. Lowe had stated that he ought in gratitude to Mr. Foster to do all be could to hely Mr. Foster. Councillor Dr. CARSON spoke as to the merits of Mr. Fisher; he was a man of scientific attaininents,as well as great legal know ledge, and those qualifications would give ease and dignity to the situation if he were called to fill it. He waS . alSo a man of liberal principles, if that was considered of any influence, ("to be sure.") He would therefore second his nomination. Mr. Councillor SHIEL would be doing a great injustice if he did not bring under the notice of the council one of the candi dates for the office; he alluded to Mr. Crook; and he believed the council would bear him out that he had on several occasions evinced a very great share of intelligence, industry, persevff ance, and real, which he had seldom seen equalled and never surpassed. His exertions in the municipal election had claims of gratitude on that council. Mr. Crook was 32 years of age, as good a man as he ever would be. He had served his appren ticeship with Mr. Ambrose Lace, and had been some time in a special pleader's office in London, and he was therefore per fectly fit for the situation. With regard to Mr. Lowe he felt it his duty to state that he did not think him a•fit man. He could not forget what had been said by the late town-clerk, that dur ing his absence in London 1100 freemen were placed on the roll of the Liverpool burgesses who had no right to be there. This was a proof that he was not competent for the situation, being, as he was, the representativ e of the fete town-clerk. The MAYOR never heard such a report. Mr. Councillor SHIBA. said it was matter of public notoriety. He never had,-and never would enquire into the private afiatr of any individual. lie would second Mr. Crook's nomination.; The MAyou said the statement, with regard to Mr. Lowe, mivht have been a matter of public notoriety, but he never heard of it before. , Air. Councillor EARLE was very happy to hear what Mr. Shiel had declared. After that he should vote for Mr. Crook, who was a personal friend of his. Otherwise he should have vote,' from a sense of duty against his wishes. Mr. Alderman EVANS bore testimony to Air Crook's merits. Mr. Councillor HoitsrALL conceived Mr. Lowe to be very competent fur the situation, and was very much surprised to hear Mr. Shiel's statement. The freemen were passed by the Mayor and the bailiffs, and afterwards confirmed by the coun cil, therefore they were to biome if there were an error. Ile believed Mr. LotVe to be a very honourable man, and believed the statements made by Mr. Alorecroft were not correct. Mr. Councillor SHIEL Only stated facts without any com ments; the late town-clerk • had, on one occasion, said, when the enormous increase of the freemen was alluded to, " gentle men, I am exceedingly sorry, but the thing is owing to my un avoidable absence in London." If the presence of the town clerk would have prevented this, ought not the presence of his representative to have prevented it? lie made that statement merely by inference. Mr. Councillor HolesFeu. said that most of the time that the town-clerk was in London Mr. Lowe was with him assist inF him; the error might have occurred then. I'he MAYOR was not aware of the circumstance. After some discussion as to the manner of taking the votes, it was.decided that the gentleman having the greatest number of names should be elected :—The votes upon the several candi dates were then taken, when there were—For Mr. Crooke 52 viz., Messrs. J. Holmes, S. Hope, C. Horsfall. C. Logan, W. Thornhill, R. Shiel, E. Harvey, E. Smith, J. D. Thornely, C. Rawdon, A. M'Gregor, J. Barton, H, Holmes, L Fleyworth, J. Mellor, J. Walmsley C. Birch, T.

The MAYon.—lt woul • now be necessary to pass a resolu tion for the town dues' committee to take the necessary securi ties, which the town-clerk thought it necessary to give. A resolution for that purpose was then agreed to. THE CHURCH ENDOWMENT QUESTION. The town-clerk reported that it would be requisite, in point of form, acting on the opinion .of conasdl, that a fonnal demand, THE LIVERPOOL STAIN llAlt U. kinports. should be made upon James Aspinall, Esq., the late Mayor, for the suns of £105,000 invested for the endowment of the churches, with legal interest thereof.

Mr. Councillor BOLTON gave notice that at the next quarter ly meeting (16th April) he would propose a petition to parlia ment for the removal of the Jewish disabilities. A memorial from the retail beer-sellers was presented. On the suggestion of Mr. Jordan, it was referred to the Improvement ,Committee. (Great laughter.) THE COBONERSHW. Mr. Councillor RATHBONE stated that Mr. W. S.. Roscoe had withdrawn his pretensions to the office of coroner, on the ground that the public seemed to think that a legal gentleman would be better qualified for the office. The MAYOR said he had several applications for the office of coroner, but the council could not take up the subject utttil the grant of a separate quarter sessions for the borough should arrive. Mr. Councillor BROWN said that as cOnsiderahle discussion had taken place in the newspapers, as to whether the office should be filled by a legal or a medical man, he wished to have the opinion of the town-clerk on the subject. The MAYoR thought it not right that he should raise a hornet's nest about his ears by deciding the question. (A laugh.) NEW STREET. Mr. Councillor THORN H ILL presented a petition, numerously signed. praying for the opening of a new street from the west gate of St. Martin's Market to the Clarence Dock.—Referred to the Improvement Committee. The council was then adjourned (at half-post two) till the 16th instant. • LICENSED VICTUALLERS' PETITION. At the request of the Licensed Victuallers' Society of this town, we copy from a Plymouth paper a letter, embodying the grievances of that important class of tradesmen, addressed To the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the ,Exchequer. SIR,-It is intended to address you with a statement of facts contained in as few words, and conveyed as respectfully as cir cumstances will admit, and as courtesy demands; at the same time it is necessary that the expression of feeling should not be less warm or pointed, than the continuance of oppression prac tised upon an enduring, respectable, and deserving class of his majesties subjects natur a lly p ro d uces. Y ou will then, Sir, do me the favour to receive the present, as the memorial of a body, and not take umbrage at the individual who is the humble in strument of declaring their wrongs. Sir, in the session of 1834, a petty section of the House of Commons, arrogating to themselves the almost exclusive pos session of the cardinal virtues, influenced the kind-hearted Lord Althorp to adopt their futile legislation, for the purpose of suppressing . gin-shops, and his lordship's budget conse quently contained a clause, taxing the licensed victuallers at the rate of £5O per cent. on the previous extravagantly expen sive retail spirit license. It is scarce necessary to refer to the time. Every body knows that after the presentation of the budget, the house was kept together in barely sufficient strength to legitimatize its acts, and that there was nu time to receive the victualler's complaint in 1834; indeed, so much were they taken by surprise, that th e y cou ld hardly believe the imposi tion possible, until the exciseman convinced them of it—murmur and discontent followed. _.... • MEDITERRANEAN.

The restrictions on fair trade, extend the channels of illicit traffic, and the honest dealer is destroyed —for the 'most convincing proofs of. which, I refer you to the Gazette. In good sooth, Sir, had as was the state of the li censed victuallers trade—immense as. was: the amount of con traband traffic, before the passing Lord Althorp's act, ; their bu siness is now infinitely worse, and smuggling has frightfully in creased. Looking, Sir, at this matter in any point ofiview, the licensed victualler, properly so termed, and exclusive of all identifica tion with keepers of gin palaces, was no more an object of Lord , Althorp's legislation than is any. other descripti o n dealing under a retail licence. 7'he li cense d v i c t ua ll ers of' Eng land and Wales have now contrib u t e d upwar d s of THREE HUN DRED THOLISASD Pootas oI trade, Taxes, EXTRA, to the treasury, in the last two years, to try the experiment, and the result is a lament able failure as far as the party in-the House of Commons is. con corned, and a inouAtplis, act of injustice to the trade. Smart ing under this goad,:lhe., licensed victuallers appeal, through you. to the countrySor redress, and they know that they have a a, right to expect it. They will not allow the session to .pass over without demonstra by their petitions the universality of .their grievances, but they know, in common with all other classesohe difficulty of procuring a : majority of the. house_ in their favour, if the minister be opposed to them; they know also the vast difficulty of obtaining redress for grievances, which are only those of a class, and that therefore the cannot have the benefit of the sympathy of the whole community—they however feel firmly convinced that you must now have obtained sufficient information to be well assured of the untenable grounds ..upon which the increased duty was levied—that it is impossible to do the Licensed Victuallers common justice. without at once abro gating the law, imposing the 50 per cent additional duty, uncurl ditionallyand without reservation; and that in doing them this justice, .hey respectfully submit you will be discharging your duty faithfully to the country.

LEEns.—Our market continues brisk for all goods under Ils. to Pls. per yard; finer qualities have been a drug, but are coining into request. The situation of the manufacturers is difficult and peiplexing, as wool keeps advancing. BRADFORD.—The brisk demand of the last few weeks has not been fully supported, and consequently less business has been transacted in all kinds of Wool; no alteration in price. The trade in Yarn on Thursday was as good as for some weeks past. and prices are firm. The activity, hich has prevailed in piece goods for some weeks past has not diminished. Most de scriptions of goods, particularly six-quarter Alerinos, are pur chased with avidity. A further advance in price was obtained on Thursday, and prices of some.quiilities may now be quoted quite as high as during the last three years, while other sorts are not far behind. HALIFAX.—This market was brisker on Saturday than for the two last weeks, especially for says, shalloonS, plainbacks, and fancy goods. Lastings are not quite so much in demand. Prices: are higher, but by no means equal to those of yarns. IRON TR ADE.—A t a meeting of iron masters held at Wake field last week, a further advance of 15s. per ton on pig iron was decided upon. There is a very heavy demand for iron of every description. The proprietors of the Low Moor Iron Works, near Bradford, in consequence of the prosperous state of trade, have lately made a handsome advance on the wages of their worktrien, in the various branches of the trade. 3lnttlttgencr.
