moment ,ances be had named, with which Mary Connolly gave ant, to say that Mr. Morinaud was Tipton's child, and that be had con ' rs. a week. His learned friend `o pay 12s. a week, but he had ,u prove it. There was no evidence to u even introduced the girl to the plaintiff's, special sum to her. He could not call witues.>. At Mary Connolly was, but he should call witnesses who,. , testimony would chew that it was im possible she could have spoken the truth ; and if they found her wrong in any of the facts she had stated be apprehended the jury would receive with suspicion the rest of her evi dence. In conclusion he begged to say be was very sorry that Mr. Morinaud should have been dragged into a court of justice in a case which seemed to put an im before coming to a conclusion, would weigh the evidence given on the part of the plaintiff, and ask their own minds whether it was consistent with the character and position of the plaintiff. The learned counsel reminded the jury that it was not till the plaintiff was about going to France that an application for money was made to him, and he concluded by saying that he should have discharged his duty when he bad examined the witnesses he had to call. Mr. "William Darlington, wine merchant, of Liverpool, was then called as a witness on the part of the defendant. He said he recollected going to the plaintiff's house in June or July, at the request of the defendant. Mr. Snowball, at torney, was with him. Mrs. Connolly said a neighbour, next door, had brought Margaret Tipton to lodge in her house, and that she was in the family way by some gentleman, and that about two or three months after she had been there, Mr. Morinaud called to take her away, at which time he pro mised to pay for her board. She did not pretend to say that he had ever promised to pay before. Nothing was said about her returning into his service. Mrs. Connolly did not say upon what pretence Mr. Morinaud wanted to take the girl away. Witness did not hear the word " France" used. Mrs. Connolly did not pretend to know who was the father of Mar garet's child ; but there was some talk of Mr. Morinaud be ing so. Witness thought that such was the plaintiff's im- 'userved the deuce on tiIIS ler of Margare to ;hew pression. Cross-examined.—Are you not aware, or has Mr. Mori naud never told you, that he went to Shrewsbury, to which parish Margaret Tipton belongs, and that he there agreed to support the child ?—I believe that they compelled hint to do so, and that Mrs. Connolly was one of the witnesses. Mr. Snowball, attorney, examined by Mr. VENAULES.—I believe you have been in the habit of visiting Mr. and Mrs. Morinaud ? I have.—Do you recollect this girl, Margaret Tipton, being there ?—I saw her once ther‘in the year be fore last, in the summer. She was waiting at table : myself and Mr. and Mrs. Morinaud were there. It was a private dinner.—Was she in the family way ? She was very large indeed, in the family way. Have you been in the habit of visiting there ?—I have visited there several times. Do you remember them going to France ?—I remember Mr. Morinaud going to France, and I think Mrs. Morinaud went with him. Cross-examined by Mr. Mußmy.—Did you not go to Shrewsbury ?—I did not. What year was it when she was so large in the family way? I think it was in June twelve months ago. I suppose, Mr. Snowball, you have a little knowledge that way ? (Laughter.) Do you not know that there have been some quarrels between Mr. and Mrs. Morinaud o❑ account of this matter ? I believe quite the reverse ; for Mrs. Mori naun spoke to me upon the subject when the parish made him pay. • Mr. Morinaud had address enough to satisfy his wife that he was innocent of the charge ?—Mrs. Morinaud gave me instructions in fact : I was attorney in the matter, but I did not go to Shrewsbury. What is the allowance, do you know ?—They gave me a paper : it is half-a-crown a-week. (Laughter.) Re-examined by Mr. VENNELES.—Then I understand Mrs. Morinaud was perfectly cognisant of the situation of this girl ?—Perfectly. Did she ever express her suspicions that Mr. Morinaud was the father of the child ? No ; on the contrary, she doubted it very much indeed. With these witnesses the defendant's case closed.—Mr. MURPHY in his reply commented strongly upon Mrs. Mori naud's name having been introduced, observing that it would have been better for the defendant's respectability if he had not instructed his learned friend to mention it ; also upon the attempt to blacken the character of the plaintiff and her daughter; and on the statement made by the counsel for tht defendant that he should prove the defendant was not the father of Margaret Tipton's child, by naming the man who bad seduced her. The ASSESSOR in summing up, told the jury that the only question for Welt- consideration was not whether the defendant was the father of the child or not, but whether the charges of the plaintiff for the board and attendance of Margaret Tipton were incurred upon his credit. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff: damages £l9 10s. SATURDAY, MR. M'CREA'S " VOLUNTARY" CHAPEL AT WATERLOO CASSON AND ANOTHER, EXECUTORS, V. M'CREA This was an action in a common pleas record to recover the sum of £l9 Os. 9d. from the defendant. Mr. JAMES appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. VENABLES for the de• fendant. _ _ . Mr. JAMES said the plaintiffs iu this case were Thomas Casson and Ebenezer executors of the will of Thomas Pearson, deceased, and the defendant was the Rev. John Benjamin M'Crea. The action was in debt for goods sold and delivered by the testator in his life time, and upon an account stated ; the defendant pleaded by denying that he was ever liable to pay. The late Mr. Pearson was a timber merchant, and the Rev. Mr. M'Crea was a gentleman who, having come from the sister country where be had obtained considerable eminence in his profession, settled at Waterloo, near this town, where he acquired to himself a considerable number of friends. There being no chapel belonging to the defendant's persuasion (what it was, whether Independent or not be could not say, for he did not know), in that place, he thought it would be advisable, for the interests of the community, that one should be erected. - He accordingly set about this object in good earnest, and he obtained from among his friends subscriptions to a considerable amount for the purpose of building a chapel. In the course of last year a chapel was erected. After it was erected, the defendant made arrangements with Mr. Waddington for the land; and upcn the 19th July in the present year, the land upon which the chapel was erected, was signed over to Mr. INl`Crea for the term of 500 years. Mr. M'Crea since that time had been in legal possession of the chapel, and of the land upon which it was built. The action was brought to recover £l9 Os. 9d, the amount of timber supplied by the late Mr. Pearson in his life time for the purpose of being placed in the roof of this chapel. Mr. M'Crea, in the most unac countable way, for he (the learned counsel) could assign no reason for it, nor could he imagine what the defence would be, had hitherto refused to pay for that timber. According to his (the learned counsel's) instructions the reverend gen tleman had paid other people who had supplied not only labour, but materials in the erection, yet he refused to pay his clients, the executioners of the late Mr. Pearson. That the timber had been supplied there could be no doubt. He was instructed to say, he should be able to prove this fact in the clearest possible way, for he should call before the jury the very parties who had conveyed the timber from Mr. Pear son's yard to the chapel of Mr. M'Crea, the joiner who had unloaded it, and placed it, by the direction of Mr. M'Crea, in the roof of the chapel, and when he had done that, there could be no doubt whatever of its having been supplied. What Mr. M'Crea could say to this he (the learned counsel) was at a loss to conceive. He should prove that Mr. 111`Crea was in possession of the chapel, and that he was the party who had obtained, and would obtain, every possible benefit that could be derived from the use of the chapel, he being the legal owner of it, having it under his own sole and proper control ; therefore he was the party to be benefitted by the use of this timber. But he (the learned counsel) should go further than that. He should show that Mr. M'Crea had been the party who had paid the workmen, who bad paid other persons for supplying other materials to erect the chapel, and when that was done he should be justified in calling upon the jury to give him a verdict, unless his friend should set up a defence (which he did not at all anticipate) that would satisfy them Mr. M'Crea was not liable. Having produced his evidence, he should leave the matter in the hands of the jury, subject of course, to any remarks that his learned friend might think proper to make. John Clifton, a carter, was the first witness called. Mr. M'Crea's chapel was erected during the course of last year. Sometime during the winter, witness who was in the service of Mr. Brining, was sent by his master to Mr. Pearson's i yard n James-street, for a cart load of timber, which he brought home to his master's house, in Waterloo. Witness had borrowed a cart for the purpose. The timber was left an the cart all night, outside the gates. Could not recollect whether he asked at . Mr. Pearson's yard for timber for the chapel. The timber was removed the next morning, but not by witness Cross-examined the timber. _ —Could not tell in what month he fetched Re-examined.—Believes he fetched it during last winter. The cart was borrowed from John Bradley. James Wright, a carter in the employment of John - Brad ley, proved that in the last winter his master's cart was lent to the last witness to fetch a load of timber. The next morn ing the cart being wanted, witness went to Brining's for it, and found it outside the gate. He took the timber to Mr. M'Crea's chapel, and William Webster, a joiner, who was working there helped him to unload it. Mr. - VENABLEs cross-examined the witness as to the time that this happened, but without eliciting anything material. William Webster, joiner, of Waterloo, said be was em ployed as a joiner in the erection of Mr. M'Crea's chapel. He went there in the mouth of April, last year, and remained till July, in the present year—all the time. He recollected the last witness Wright bringing a load of timber to the chapel ; it was about the 15th or 16th of October, 1840. It was the only occasion that witness was aware of, of his bring ing timber. Witness helped him to unload it. The timber was put into the roof. The witness then described the se veral pieces of timber, and was asked some questions as to the value of them ; but it is immaterial to give his testi mony on these points. Witness helped to unload a second load of timber which came from Mr. Pearson's, on the 27th October. The whole of this load was used in the ceiling. The defendant generally paid his wages after April. The defendant came to the chapel whilst witness was engaged in Putting the timber into the rocf ; sometimes he came two or three times a day, and sometimes he did not come for a day together. He never gave any particular directions. Mr. M'Crea paid witness his wages during the whole time he was engaged in fitting the timber in the roof ; and witness had oftener than once heard him say the chapel was his own. Remembered fet c hi ng ti m b er f rom J o h n P a dl e y an d others at different times for the use of the chapel; had always the directions of Mr. M`Crea to do so, who had given him money to pay for it. H e h a d given witness money more than once to pay for the timber at Charles Padley 's • and he had also given him mon e y upon several occasion s . to pay for other things. . _ Cross-examined—Witnesst was a journeyman working upon his own account at this e_ t Heath about the premises.. He had seen a person time . a Mr. WCrea employed him The chapel was not finished yet, divine service began to be performed in it about May Mr. M'Crea was the to up to the present time. officiating minister, and continued 11 There was a subscription raised build the chapel. Mr. ad received payments Heath was the treasurer. Witness the time the chapel from Mr. Heath, who gave orders during llaj b workmen three was building . Witness had seen him The wor se men a times, but had never seen him pay for Heath r ° men he paid were witness himself and another job from him to make some pews. Mr. orders for the replacing of the roof in witness's hearing, nut give did he ever him say he was going to replace it. ;',,Ting, nor came sometimes when the roof was being replaced, 1,./Icleath it would be a far better roof than it was before, and he gave some directions concerning- it, but witness does not rent-eav ber what. Mr. M'Crea gave no particular orders or directions about it, but he "used to say it would be a good thing when it was done. Witness had been paid for his work in repia e _ ing the roof ; not by Mr. Heath but by Mr. M'Crea. Mr. M'Crea paid him for all the work that was done with the two loads of timber from Pearson's. Swears this positively. Re-examined.—Witness does not know whether the pews, for which Mr. Heath paid him, were erected for himself; but he supposes they were for anybody who would take them. The transaction as to the pews took place about last June but one (1840). Mr. JAMES , s aid he was Charles Thistleton, examined by in the employment of Mr. Pearson during his lifetime, and he remetobered making out and sending by post to the de fendant in December, 1840, an invoice for some timber. It was addressed to "The Rev. J. B.

Witt the directions of Mr. Pearson Cross-examined :—Witness was in the employment of Mr Pearso❑ in October, 18-10. Mr. Pearson died on the 25th of August in the present year. Witness knew Mr. Heath by sight. Does not know who ordered the timber ; it was given to Mr. Pearson, and from Mr. Pearson to witness. Does not know that Mr. Heath ordered it, nor did he ever hear Mr. Pearson say that he had. Saw Mr. Heath in the yard a day or two before the first load went away talking with Mr. e, and cent it by Pearson ; he was not in the counting-house. Never saw Mr. M'Crea there. 13eheyed that Mr. Heath had been appliod to for payment for the timber. Mr. Thistleton, the plaintiff's attorney, was brother to witness ; he did not tell witness of Mr. Heath being applied to, but the late Mr. Pearson did. Reexamined :—Mr. Heath was a joiner and builder. !lad transactions previously to this with Mr. Pearson, but not in the name of Mr. M'Crea. The timber sent corresponded with that described in the invoice. The invoice was then put in and read ; it was as follows : " Liverpool, 23d Dec., 1840. " Rev. J. B. Crea, per Robert Heath. " To Thomas Pearson, Dr. " Timber (detailing the particulars) £l9 Os. 9d. " SlR,—Herewith I hand you invoice of timber, and by instructions I beg to state, that unless the amount is remitted by return of post, I shall take proceedings against you. " Waiting your answer, I am, sir, "*Yours respectfully, " P. P. Thomas Pearson, " CHARLES THISTLETON•" John Deane, who was the next witness, said he was a plasterer residing at Waterloo. He did the plastering at Mr. Crea's chapel, and Mr. M'Crea paid him for it. Some slates were once blown off the roof, and witness replaced them at the request of Mr. Crea who paid him. He paid witness partly in cash, and gave him his acceptance for the re mainder. Witness had heard Mr. M'Crea say the chapel was his, and that he had received money from different people to enable him to build it. The Witness was cross-examined, but his testimony was not at all shaken. William Wall, plumber and glazier, of Waterloo, said he was employed by Mr. M'Crea to execute part of the plumb ing and glazing at his chapel. Mr. M'Crea did not refuse iu the first instance to pay : he paid part of the amount in money afterwards, and the remainder through witness's attorney. Was obliged to give directions to his attorney to apply to Mr. M'Crea for payment; and his attorney afterwards paid him the money so obtained from Mr. M'Crea. Cross-examined.—Mr. Heath gave no directions to wit ness. Mr. M'Crea gave him directions. Witness was after wards employed to put stronger glass into the roof, and Mr. M'Crea gave him directions for that. John Padley, timber-merchant, of Waterloo, was next called. Mr. M'Crea had called upon him for the purpose of ordering timber for his chapel ' • and he had ordered small portions at different times. When lie first called upon wit ness, Mr. M'Crea told him he would pay witness when the timber was delivered, but lie did not wish it to be booked to him, observing that he did not desire to have his name mixed up with secular matters. He paid witness for the timber so supplied in the course of the week it was delivered. After wards he let the account run for two or three weeks, and as he did not call to pay witness booked it to him. He had since paid witness the amount of his account except a few shillings. Mr. M'Crea asked witness about strengthening the roof of the chapel, and asked him to do the job ; but witness declined. Mr. VEIN AB LES cross•examined the witness, but without eliciting anything, except that neither Mr. Heath nor Mr. Waddington, had given any orders to witness concerning the chapel. Mr. JastEs then called for the lease of the land on which the chapel was built, observing that lie had given the other side notice to produce it. Mr. VENABLES.—I have no lease here. The ASSESSOR.—You must first prove they have it. Mr. JAMES.—Then, that is my case, sir. Mr. VENABLES then addressed the court and jury on the part of the defendant. The plaintiff's counsel said this was the case, yet he had not ventured to call either Mr. Wadding ton or Mr. Heath, who could have given the jury the whole history of this transaction, especially as to whom credit was - given for the timber. He had a right to make strong obser vations upon the fact that Mr. Heath was not called, because his evidence instead of involving the case in mystery, would have rendered it perfectly clear. He (thelearned counsel) had no right to say that Mr. Heath instructed or paid the attorney who had brought this action, but he was not called to show what part he took in this transaction, whether as principal, agent, or otherwise; and he (Mr. Venables) had always found that when material evidence was withheld, suspicion was cast upon the party who withheld it. It was the bounden duty of the plaintiff to present to the jury every witness who could make out the material facts of the case. It was not sufficient for him to leave his case involved in mystery, or in a state liable to induce the jury to draw their inferences from part of the facts; but they might have the whole if Mr. Heath was put into the box, for he would be bound to admit that it was upon his credit alone that the timber was sup plied. Mr. M'Crea was a gentleman of eloquence and character, and though not strictly belonging to the protestant church be was attached to a sect which was highly honoured, whose doctrines were pure, and therefore entitled to respect and admiration. He was a man of consummate eloquence, who could captivate the attention of his congregation in an extraordinary degree, and they would leave the chapel much edified by the doctrines there promulgated by him. Although he did not belong to the Church of England yet we were bound to respect a man whether he differed from ourselves or riot on religious topics who did good in his station ; the jury, therefore, would give their best consideration to the observations to be made in his behalf. Mr. M'Crea belonged to the Scotch Secession Church, the same denomination as the respected Dr. Ralph of this town, their doctrines were the same, and they were as pure as those preached by the clergy of the Church of England. In the summer of 1829 Mr. M'Crea visited Waterloo for the purpose of reno vating his health. He there engaged a room far the pur pose of administering divine worship, and his emigre gation were so delighted with him, Mr. Heath among the number, that they entered into a subscription to build him a chapel, Now experience would tell the jury that it was very common for a minister to speak of a chapel as being his own, without meaning more than he had a life in terest in it. Mr. M'Crea had been very active in the per formance of his duties since May, 1840, therefore, strictly speaking, he was inducted into the chapel, and no person could eject him. He might keep it during the period of his natural life, if the life was not extended beyond the term for which the lease was granted, and no human being could eject him. Stripping the case, however, of all the extraneous matter with which it had been clothed, the single point for the atten tion of the jury, was, upon whose credit were the loads of timber furnished. The learned counsel then contended at some length that Jlr. Heath was the man upon whose credit the timber had been supplied, from these facts—first, that he was at Mr. Pearson's yard, and in conversation with him within a day or two of its being delivered; secondly, that Mr. Pearson had applied to him in the first instance for payment, and lastly, that he had taken very great interest in the manage ment of this case. The ASSESSOR, in summing up, told the jury they must look at all the circumstances of the case, and from them say whether Mr. M'Crea had so conducted himself as to have allowed credit to be given to him for these goods ; and before they found for the plaintiffs, they must be satisfied that the goods were supplied upon his credit. The learned assessor then went minutely through the evidence, pointing out the parts most important for the consideration of the jury. The jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiffs, damages £l9 Os. 9d. The business of the court terminated about 12 o'clock on Saturday.

" The committee have no doubt, however, as the advantage expected have not only not been realised, but that increased expense and positive disadvantage have been the result, that by renewed exertion these mails may again be restored to their former and natural channel through Liverpool. " That strongly impressed with the necessity of improve ment and of affording every facility to passengers consistent with the safety of the navigation, as the only sure means of securing for Liverpool the desired preference, the committee have had considerable discussion and consultation with the dock surveyor, the marine surveyor, the harbour master, and the corporation surveyor, and with other parties of practical knowledge, and have maturely considered various plans to accomplish the object ; among others, the committee beg to call the attention of the council to one of a permanent stone projecting pier at the Prince's-parade, together with sections of the banks along the whole of the river walls, prepared by Mr. Hartley, the dock surveyor, which have been of much use to the committee, and will become hereafter of great value ; but taking into consideration the impediment such a projection must have to the navigation, and the effect it might have upon the river itself, and fiirther in the expectation of a material change being effected on the banks by the completion of the continuous line of wall about to be formed by the new dock, and'the probability that a permanent pier may then be more advantageously placed, the committee deemed it ad visable to postpone each erection for the present, and in structed the surveyor (Mr. Franklin) to prepare a plan of a sliding scale from the Seaeombe slip, which, though only temporary, will be effectual in furnishing the means of land ing and shipping carriages, &c., at all times of the tide, with out the use of small boats. " The committee beg to refer to the plan of the said stage, and to the surveyor's report thereon, and to recommend it for adoption by the council, "The committee also recommend another and more suit able barge to be substituted fox the Boydell off George's Pier, and that arrangements be made so that passengers may land by one stage and embark by another-; and, further with a view of relieving the occasional great pressure of so many steamers resorting to that pier, the committee recommend that the Runcorn packets, and steamers with passengers on excursions to the mouth of the river, shall be required to take on board and disembark their passengers on the pier called the New Wall, to the west of No. 2 and 3 Graving Docks, where they have water to go alongside at half flood and half ebb, the usual periods of their departure and return. With a view to carry out these recommendations, and for the prevention of accident, the committee suggest the propriety of directing the town-clerk to revise and to improve the bye laws affecting the landing-places and ferry boats." THE VACANT ALDERMANSHIP, The MA.yonid the last subject on the paper was to ap point a lit person, either from the councillors or from the persons qualified to be councillors, to fill the vacancy in the office of alderman, caused by the resignation of Mr. Alder man Harvey with payment of the fine. Mr. HENRY LAWRENCE begged to propose Mr. William Nicholl, of Abercromby-square, for the office. He was satisfied that Mr. Nicholl would do ergtli t t to the council. (Hear.) Mr. SANDS (we believe) seconded the proposition. Mr. Eva.Ns moved as an amendment that Mr. Robeat Ellison Harvey be the alderman. Mr. J. HORNE/ . seconded the motion. The election was carried by means of voting papers, each member writing on a slip the name of the gentleman whom he supported, and handing it to the town-clerk. When the slips had all been filled, the numbers were stated to be as follow : For Hr. Harvey For Mr. Nicholl Majority for Mr. Harvey —3 Mr. Harvey was accordingly duly elected. The following are the names of the gentlemen who voted in the division : For Mr. Harvey—Councillors J. llolmes, Thornhill, H. Holmes, .Mellor, WalinsleY, Aikin. Woollright, Bright, Priestley, H. Hornby, Yates, Morecroft, Slater, M`Kee, Jordan, J. Platt, and Mather; Aldermen J. Hornby, T. Holt. Bulley, Freme, Roskell, Blackburn, Booth, Shell, Barclay, Earle, Bean, Moon, G. Holt, C. H. Jones, J. Platt, and the Mayor. For Mr. Nicholl—Councillors Shand, Hodgson., I. Holmes, Houghton, Case, Sandbach, Copeland, Wright, Barton, Blundell, Sands, Toulmin, J. Lawrence, Robinson. Cooper, H. Lawrence, Wood, Birkett, Gladstone, Bushell, Procter, Rigby, Kilshaw, Parker,. H. Jones, jun. Leigh, J. Smith, G. H. Lawrence , A. Smith, jun. and Harbord. - - VOTE OF TIIANKS TO THE MAYOR. Mr. BLACKBURN begged to claim attention f or a f ew mo ments while he addressed himself to the council and no t the chair. He had to prop ose a vote of thanks to the mayor, as the present was the last public appearance previous to the election. He believed that the members could not do less than present their thanks to him for the way in which h e h a d presided over and conduct ed the business of the council dur ing the year be had been in office. For his own part, he could 'dr testimony_ to a he had discharged the duties of his office, and lie ure the nriemberi would all say that.he had gone through the duties cf that office in a way highly honourable to the town and highly Lonourable to biroseif. lie bee propose a vote of thanks to him. Mr. JAMES BOUNCY said he could not add a word to what had been so well and truly said by Mr. Blackburn, but begged most sincerely to second the proposition. Mr. ISAAC Horatiss was willing to admit that who undertook the duties of the office of chief magistrate and discharged them satisfactorily was deserving of a vote of thanks. But he could not forget that he had been on two or three occasions interrupted the mayor, when he conceived such interruption uncalled for and unnecessary. (Hear.) Neither could he forget that he bad been present in the revising court a few daybefore when Mr. Pim s name was called. That gentleman, independent of the responsible s ituation he filled in connexion w ith the St. George's Com pany, had, it appeared, paid his taxes ; and yet the Alecision of the mayor was, that unless he appeared in the court he must be struck off the list; and struck off he was accord ingly. (Hear.) He (Mr. Holmes) considered that there was a sort of partiality exhibited by the mayor on that occa sion. He could not, therefore, join in the vote of thanks which had been proposed, and he hoped that whoever might occupy the chair in future would not improperly interrupt any individual in the council. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HODGSON said lie rose with great pain on that occa sion because he wished to pay honour to the chair, and al ways to render honour to whom honour was due. He had endeavoured to do so on every occasion ; but, in giving honour, there was a duty due to himself as well as to those with whom he was connected, and in the discharge of that duty it was painful to him to differ from the sentiments of those who had expressed themselves in favour of the past conduct of the chair. (Hear.) Personally he would take no exception to what had sometimes taken place in the council, because he cared not for the interruptions to which, occasion ally, he had been subjected; but he thought, for the honour of the gentlemen with whom he acted, for the spirit of truth, and for the maintenance of that dignity which ought to be long to the council, that he should be guilty of a dereliction of duty and a want of moral courage if he did not stand up and say that the language which had been offered to him by the mayor at the last meeting of the council ought never to come from the chair—(hear) — and that it was most unpro yoked by anything which had fallen from his lips. (Hear, hear.) He challenged any gentleman to point a word which had fallen from him that was calculated to call forth such an observation as had then been used by the mayor. (Cheers.) He repeated it that it was uncalled-for from the chair—that it was unbecoming as between gentlemen, and that it was such language as in private society could not be use d. (Re- 3, therefore, to ~at every on newed &JR.) Mr. JORDAN rose to order. (Laughter.) If be was out of order he would bow to the chair ; but he felt bound to say that the language complained of had been apologised for by the mayor. The MAYOR requested Mr, Alderman Hornby to take the chair as the present was a personal matter in which he could not interfere. The Mayor accordingly vacated the chair, and Alderman Hornby took it immediately. Mr. HODGSON proceeded to say that the language made use of by the mayor on the occasion was such as could not take place between gentlemen a second time in private so ciety. He was not accustomed to hear such observations elsewhere. At the same time he should be very far indeed from offering a vote of censure on the mayor; but as the question had been mooted he felt constrained to tell him what was not merely his own opinion of his conduct but the com monly-expressed opinion of the public out of doors—(hear, .hear)—and he felt that he should be guilty of a dereliction of that which was due to himself, as well as to the council, if he had not the moral courage then to express it. He would offer no opposition to the course which was being pursued farther than retiring from the council when Mr. Blackburn's motion was about to be put from the chair. (Cheers.) Mr. EvANs rose, but Mr. HODGSON continued to say that he bad recently felt extreme disgust at seeing the mayor preside at a party meet ing. (Hear, hear.) • Mr. PLATT said that, after Mr. Hodgson had made vari ous remarks at the last council in a most uncharitable way, he concluded by saying that he would always express his sen timents in that council in spite of the mayor. Mr. HODGSON—That was afterwards. (Hear.) Mr. PLATT believed it was previous—before the mayor had made the remark which called forth Mr. Hodgson's ire. He (Mr. Platt) was very near saying at the time that, before the mayor recalled his expressions, Mr. Hodgson ought to have been called upon to retract his observations. Mr. HARBORD said he should not take up the time of the council on the subject then introduced, but that they were placed in a very peculiar position, and called upon to express their sentiments. (Hear.) lie could not forget what had been expressed by the mayor towards the party to which he had the honour to belong, He could not forget that the mayor upon that occasion pre expreision to unbecoming language towards himself, because, when he retracted, he said he did not mean it to apply to Mr. Hodgson, but to others. (Hear, hear.) Now, what had he (Mr, H.) said? He had simply asked a question. He had not condemned or reproached any one. And yet the mayor had the audacity to say that his words were intended to apply to others who had spoken prior to Mr. Hodgson! (Hear ' and cheers.) He was the person who had spoken prior. 13ut, further than this, some of the constituents whom he represented, and who had been present at the anti-corn-law meeting lately held in the Amphitheatre, requested him to state that the mayor had no right upon that occasion to show partiality, and that he ought to have given an opportunity to every one to express their sentiments pro or con. • But instead of pursuing such a course he had acted on quite an opposite principle. It might be an error of judgement upon his part, or lie might have been under an impression that he was called upon to preside over a particular party, but whatever was the cause it ought to be explained; for he should have been no partisan, and he should have given protectien and liberty to all who wished to express their sentiments. (Hear, hear.) He, for his part, as one of the representatives of North Toxteth Ward, wished to say that some of his constituents felt aggrieved at not having been aliowed to express their sentiments, and that some sort of apology was expected from the mayor. (Hear.) Mr. EvANs said the co' pail on the present occasion should not forget that the mayor was xAnder their protection. Gentle. men were in the habit of calling £.9x his protection ; but the case was then reversed, and every honourable and laudable feeling on the part of the council were sircngly appealed to to do justice to their estimable mayor. :(80ar..) He had beard a gentleman speaking of moral courage, Wet in Isis opinion that gentleman was decorating one of the worstkel ings of human nature with a very exalted title. If they could get at the beam of the feeling which had prompted his speech . against the mayor, they should give it a different epithet from that of tooral courage. There was no morality about it, neither was theca apy charity. (Hear.) There had been, moreover, a violation of Ad d t the received compacts of human life, that when a hasty ,expeei,,stin escaped any of them, and that it was withdrawii„ y.r4 - „s never to be mentioned again. Mr, Hiatuoitto,—lt is not withdrawn inthis,case. aluar, hear.) Mr. EVANS proceedeel tow that the pursuance 0f such a course was calculated to subvert the principles of peaCe and amity on earth ; but this was. a principle which formed no rule of Mr. Hodgson's conduct. The whole tenor of that gentleman's conduct, so far as he .(Mr. vans) saw, lied been to set man against man in this world, and ,to prodoce dissene sion and bad feeling. Leaving Out the meaning of his words, there had been a wicked eloquence in the tone of his voice which was exciting and provoking, He (11r, Ii,IVADA) should be glad to know—he would not say on charity---fait AO what principles of justice they. could deny the mayor a vote of thanks for his conduct for the past twelve months? Was it because of his having, with the aid of the assessors, given a 'decision in the registration court which had not been ques tioned by much higher authority than any in the council, and, on the peher band, because an expression, which he (Mr. Evans) could meks very great allowance for, but which he could not justifer the mayor altogether in, bad escaped him? Was it because he hael,heee guilty of two such insig nificant instances, for one of whiple be bad promptly com pounded, that they were to deny an act (kr justice and cour tesy to the mayor ? If they were all to e.voe out of this life with having committed no greater transactionstleee these two matters, they would be considered rather above lineeen nature than below it—they should be something very nearly perfect. He felt that the mayor's conduct had been correct, that it had been temperate, that it had been moderate, and that it had been iteflgoOoa4 altogether by a feeling of justice and a determination to do justice, (Hear.) Mr. RoniNsore thought the cone l- irveeives justified in dif— fering from the vote of thank s . He spoe e l e^ the sentiments of thirty in the council when he said,hey tear.) Ay,t,perdially and generally unite in a vote of thanks. Near.) Mr. Touern); said he could not feel juStified in jeevieg the room without expressing his decided conviction of the mayor's gross partiality througheet hio year of office. (Hear.) Mr. BIRKETT said it was with pein differed from the expression of a vote of thanks to the netiyOY, Manse what ever differences of opinion be might have with ;WY g,e4tkawor he never intended to act towa ri j a hi m in a peesonat manner. He felt, however, that the couduct of the mayor " ma " occasions had been grossly pa r ti a l. (agar, hear.) Hs was sorry to say so, but be felt that if he were to give his vote in favour of the motion he should be confounding right and wrong. He begged to recall the attention of the council to the manner in which the mayor bad treated himself. (Hear.) Lie had all along been resolved, no matter what his feelings might he, to submit to the decision of the chair. On the first occasion upon which he had ever addressed the council the mayor allowed the late Mr. Currie to speak three times. The subject was that of the schools. He (Mr. B.) intended to have divided the council and to have stated his reasons for not agreeing to any gentleman being elected on the committee on the principle which the mayor stated — namely, that the school was to be conducted as theretofore ; but the mayor told him that he was out of order, and he sat down. (Hear.) On another occasion when he made an amendment on the Finance Committee proceedings, the mayor stated that he was again out of order. (Hear.) Previous to his having spoken, he consulted the town-clerk, and ascertained from that gentleman that his notice was in order. The mayor said otherwise, and treated-him very un handsomely. Do another occasion a statement was made in the council relative ,to the 494 bill, which he thought it right to answer conceiving that ,the of that hill had been on Lord Sandua's i teemm erWation.; bit lie)l4 scarcely got up when the mayor contradicted him the moat ek-.4 manner, and stated what was anything but the fact respecting the oyi gin of the bill. He (Mr.. 13..) did not wish to use language which was unbecoming either to himself or the council, but he certainly desired to use the strongest terms towards the mayor which the council would permit. for at the time be was a young member, and felt.hurt. (Hear.) He asked two of his friends to accompany him to the noble lord (Sandon) and in their presence read the sentiments of the mayor to him, as they appeared in the pages of a radical journal, and he then asked whether the mayor or himself was right; and he had his lordship's authority for saying that he had been stating what was true, and that, when he was contradicted by the mayor, thncontradiction was anything but true. On another occasion Mr. Gladstone made a statement relative to Mr. Blackburn. Mr. Blackburn replied, and closed his speech by charging Mr. Gladstone with malice prepense." (Neer.) The words had been reported in italics. From that ,day.•to the p resent he (Mr. B.) had never heard the . mayor call on Blackburn to unsay what he did, or to • a • make an apology to Mr. 64,Clatone. (Hear, hear.) On a late occasion language had been used by Mr. Sheil stronger than he bad ever heard in the.coun4, am.llbe Mayor allowed it. (Hear, hear.) The only gentlemanevb 9 ,poke after wards was Mr, Hodgson. In the fiest instance Mr. Hai.- bord asked a question; but the mayor nettled 111 r. ijOdgson, and applied terms to him whirl ,could not be considered other than extremely i m p r oper. (Cheers.) So satisfied was Mr. Henry Lawrence with their i m propriety, that be imme diately asked the mayor why he had used such he langud doneba s huot If, the mayor had not made any apol o gY• he (Mr. B.) wou ld b e th e last man to get up and refer to the circumstance, because it would be unhandsome so to do. The words of the mayor merely' were, that " if he had said ao and so, they were not applied to Mr. Hodgson, but to the speakers generally. " (Loud cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") On another occasio n, at the close of a debate, Sir Joshua Walmsley m a d e a statement regarding him (Mr. B.) and Mr. Holmes. He conceived that it was not common fairness in Sir Joshua to make the statement in question, when he had no opportunity of replying, and that it was not fair of the mayor to interrupt him when be was going to prove that it was anything but the fact. (Hear.) In his opinion the mayor ought to have 410.w.e4 him to proceed ; but the con trary had been the cese. For these reasons he could not conscientiously agree to the vote of thanks, because, if he were, he should be confounding right aPAI wrong: For him self. he would stat e f ear l es sly, that he had an ell occasions, in that room as we ll as ou t of it, paid the mayor that respect which he considered due to his ottice, and that whatever the ; conduct of the mayor might have been towards him, nothiog would have altered his own conduct in 'this respect ; bu could not agree with the vote. (Cheer 3.) Mr. SIIEIL said that, having beep personally alluded to by one of the gentlemen who had just addressed the council, he thought it necessary to trouble them with a few remark's. In the first place he begged to ask what the language was which he had made use of, and which, it was said, should have been stopped by the chair ? Mr. HODGSON rose, but Mr. SHELL refused to give way. He would have the exact language, because he had never sought protection from the chair, and now that he was about to retire from the council, he would not allow the matter to rest unexplained. Mr. HonGSON begged to be permitted to say one word. Mr. SUEIL requested of the e-entleman to keep himself as quiet as possible. (A laugh.) 'He knew that it was a diffi cult matter for some men to keep themselves quiet, but be begged of Mr. Hodgson to try the experiment that time. (Renewed laughter from the radicals.) He would not retire from the council without having an opportunity afforded him for defending himself and explaining any language of which he might have made use. At the same time he was uncon scious of having used any unbecoming language, and he hoped he had never been so far forgetful of what was due to himself and the council as to ba guilty of such a charge. But again he asked—what was the language ? Mr. HODGSON said he had made no such charge. He had told Mr. Shell before that he found no fault with the lan guage he had used. (Hear.) Mr. SHELL proceeded to say Mr. Hodgson was so excita ble a creature that he permitted himself to be carried away to such an extent—so wrapped up was he in his own views, and so overpowered was his understanding—that, no matter what the language used might be, he applied it to himself. (Laughter from the conservatives.) He (Mr. Shell) was glad to see Mr. Hodgson's friends in such good humour. But Mr. Hodgson had no patienee ; he never allowed his judgment to act, but he always supposed that he was alluded to when a man might have no more idea of alluding, to him than he bad of alluding to the man in the moon. (Laugh ter.) In mentioning the man in the moon, he hoped that Mr. Hodgson would not suppose that he alluded to him for a single moment. (Continued laughter.) The CHAIRMAN—Address yourself to me, if you please, not the council. Mr. Sulam admitted that they were a little disorderly on the occasion ; but, as it was the last time they would ever meet again, it was, perhaps, somewhat allowable. (Hear, and laughter.) Again he wished to know the language ; and, in putting the question, he alluded, not to Mr. Hodgson, but to Mr. Birkett. Mr. BiIIKETT—You said certain persons werelinsane, and such language as that was certainly anything but correct. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SHELL admitted that he had made a general assertion that some were insane on the subject of religion, and that their minds were warped ; but Mr. Hodgson had not spoken at the time, and why the gentleman should suppose that lie (Mr. S.) alluded particularly to him was his affair. He hoped he would explain that satisfactorily. lie was glad to have the present opportunity of explaining what he said, and the circumstances under which he had said it ; for it must then be clear that the mayor could not have called him to order for having made use of a general assertion. (Hear.) The statistical returns showed that more men had been sent to mad-houses for having lost their reason on religious sub jects than any other. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear." With respect to the long rigmarole from Mr. Birkett, what had it amounted to? Simply this;—that he was out of order so often the mayor had to call him to it. (A. laugh.) The coun cil would never sanction the mayor in putting down any man if he were not out of order. With respect•to Mr. Harbord, who had been the cause of the whole proceedings, what were the circumstances ? That gentleman had got up and asked a question, the bearing of which was, to draw a distinction be tween the members of the council. (Uproar.) Mr. Hmtuoun.—False, It is not right to have state ments of this kind go before the public which are not true. (Hear.) I asked the question for the purpose of being guided in my vote. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN.—I hope Mr. Harbord will see the ne cessity of withdrawing the word " false." Mr. Hattuoan.- 7 4 withdraw the word "false," and say it's not true." (Hear. If you allow gentlemen in an indi rect way to allude to others, and to call them fashionable names, and that we cannot seek for redress, then I say that there is partiality still in the chair. (Cheers.) Mr. SHELL would prove what he had said. He had already stated that the gentleman asked a question, the tendency of which was to draw a distinction between the religion of the different members of the council. (" No, no," from the conservatives.) Then he would put the question, for he liked to prove his position. The gentleman stood up and asked " Is the person a member of the Church of England ?" and he (Mr. S.) would put it to any one, whether such a question, when asked in reference to a person who was about to be placed over a school, had not a tendency to draw a dis tinction between the different members of the community ? What had Mr. Harbord himself said? That he asked it in order that he.might know how he should vote ; and yet this was not to make a distinction ! Why, it was a sort of insult to the understanding to say the contrary. It was nonesense and the word " nonesense" he hoped was not too strong, (A laugh.) Afterwards Mr. Harbord said that he had a respect fol the Roman Catholics. lie (Mr. S.) expected the ward " love" from him ; but he supposed lie had that sort of love for Roman Catholics which the great patron of his party bad for holy water. (Laughter.) Mr. BLACKBURN said that, as he had been alluded to in the.course of the debate, he wished to observe that the words malice prepense" had been used by him in a jocular man ner. (" Oh i oh !" from the conservatives,) Ile never in tended to apply any such words to Mr. Gladstone, who had studied the newspapers for the purpose of convicting him of inconsistency ; but be had not used the words in a vindictive sense, (Hear.) Ha felt that he had done wisely in pro posing the vote of thanks, because he had heard tiothing of unfair dealing on the part of the mayor. Mr, G.LansTosE expressed himself satisfied with Mr. Blackburn's explanation, He confessed that he had left the council on the day in question under the impression that the words had been used in the worst possible feeling. (Hear, hear.) He knew not what meaning Mr. Blackburn attached to the words " malice prepense," It was language that gen tlemen were not in the habit of using ; it was language that should not be tolerated in the council ; and lie was surprised that the mayor on the occasion had not called him to order for it. (Hear.) He found himself in a painful predicament at that moment, because, although he entertained strong views on political subjects, he never would sell himself to do an injury to any man ; but he must confess that be had been one of those who opposed the election of the present mayor on the conviction, in his own mind, that he was not the most desirable man to be elected ; and that conviction had been ratheic strengthened than weakened since he entered office. (Hear, hea,) With good intentions the mayor had meant to do well, but that hi.i,cdnduct had been marked by partiality there was no doubt inhis•n4o4. (He pointed to Mr. Hodg son as an instance in which it had been exhibited ; and he would ask the council whether the fact of thap gentleman's opinions not being what they formerly were Was not thp real bone of contention against him? (Hear.) On due occasion the very alderman who then sat in the chair entertained the opinions which Mr. Hodgson did at present. There was no doubt Xii. 4 Mr. Hodgson had every right to hold strong religioua',opibipn . s.; but was he, on that account, to he a 'marked . man!? dear.) He ) (Mr. G.) once differed with 'Mr. gOdgson; but gentleman were tolurn to the other side to-Morre4'he wool treat himwith'that respect which his conduct deserved. '.(Chee'Ea.) Ny...RlOgtone con- Anded by again expressing hi's opinion as•nnfayOurable tp the ?payer as regarded his partiality. • Mr. 4itct*pop3plaioed of a want of charity upon the part of those who prided themselves oil their religion and beneVo knee, and expressed a. lope that the tnayOr would overcome tie 4,pwnelatioas of isen whose ,leww4l9o carried little force, Mr, G. if, 1 - .A.w4gNp . p thought the mayor had kepn cently guilty Dian erVgtr in jaCIPPP!'4 ia presiding at a meet ing called for the futile Pni*Pl:oe of PiObar4ssing her Ma jesty's ministers. (Hear.) Fie thought it injOici.o§ of the mayor to have lent himself to such a purpose i 1;3 this was the only ground of difference he had with him, Mr. YATES said the meeting in question had been con vened for the purpose of considering and remedying the dis tress which pervaded the land. The CHAIRMAN here asked whether he was to understand that no amendment had been moved. (" You are.") Then, said he, the motion has been carried with the exception of the Fentlernen who have expressed their sentiments against it. MbSt /AP Conservatives here left the council ; after which The MAYoit returned tliaas. He entered office with an intention of faithfiilly and ittiOrtitiiv 4iccbarging its duties.

Upon a very slender attendance of : country buyers et ow Corn Exchange this morning, the nbseriPo of spFenlatiye in quiry, and our local millers taking merely sufficient to serve their present wants ; the transactions in foreign Wheat were only moderate, whilst of English we had scarcely any. sant= pies offering, and the general runs of Irish were difficult of sale : all descriptions of this Grain, however, continued to support the late value, the holders steadily refusing to submit to lower terms.—Engish, Irish, and foreign Flour ruled nearly the same in all respects as last noted. In Barley, Malt, and Beans, no change was apparent.— Pease, being more saleable, were again ls. to 2s. per quarter dearer, Ofd Acts, heip g scarce, and wanted for provender, rather excekded'the advanced rates, of Tuesday ; but in any kind of NeW thereiva4'.iiii'PriprovclpenP.—Oatmeal, although in rieepest, fully nial`ntaided fformer,r --r, pFiseg. • LIVERPOOL COTTON IORKET, D. Zo. Another dull and tame day in ouk Co4on.:mark.et, the sales not ex c e e di ng 2,800 to :.,090 hales, barely 4t yesterdai's prices. ---The weekly sales amount to 22,910 hales, Of 'N;vliich 1750 are to speculators, and 600 to exporters. Prices on the whole scarcely as high as this dal week, and lie Cjose heavify, COTTON MARKET, Novmussil. We have no new feature in our Cotton market, it is tame,and dull, as it possibly can be, yet prices remain firm an d steady, without any decline ; the quantity sold on Saturday was 3000 bales, and to-day 3500, all to the day. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The Trade has bought sparingly throughout the week ; and, as the quantity offering has been considerable, prices of American have given way id per lb, at which reduction the market closed rather dull than otherwise. Brazil and Egyptian without material 'change, but almost nominal at the quotations. Speculators have taken almost 1600 American and 150 Surat, and Exporters 600 Surat. 800 Surat are announced for public sale on Friday next 160 American have been forwarded unsold into the country this month. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 1 ..•. At this day's market w have had a bad supply of Beasts an Sheep, both as to quality and quantity, but no alteration in price Prime Beef Cd to 40 middling and' inferior 4id to si;P..prtir Wether Mutton ^d to lid rmiddling and Ewes tki to fild;per I sinking the offal, and several lots turned out unsold. Mad Cattle at market, Beasts, 1117; Sheep, 5638. WAKEFIEL D CORN MARKET, OCT. 29 We continue to receive large supplies of Wheat, and our miilers having of late bought freely, the trade to.day was slow at last week's prices, parcels out of condition being quite neglected. The demand for Barley is now on the increase, and fine malting or grinding samples made rather more money. Oats, Beaus, .and Shellings fully supported our last quotations. . LIVERPOOL POTATOE MARKET, NOVEMBER L Since my report of the 28th ultimo, we have had rather a large supply of Potatoes forward by vessels at this early period of tha season, the principal part of which arc from the Isle of Man, (an e all Cup descriptions), awl which has had the effect of checking th operations of nealers iron: the interior for the present consequently the business doing is quite in retail at the quay. Manx and Scotch Cups are selling from 2s to 2s 2d per 90 lbs. . . . . . The Hay market w's pretty well stocked on Saturday with the produce of this immediate neighbourhood, for which there were ready sale, at full.prices. Pink Eyes 2s 2d to 25 ad, Cups 2s to 2s 2d, Short Tops is gd to Is Ild, Cattle is 6d to is 3d per Ps lbs. Turnips 2.4 s tid to 28s per ton. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, OCT. 29 Sugar. There continues a steady demand, with a moderate supply, and 200 hhds. B. P. sold at higher prices. 4700 bags Bengal have been taken at 72s for good to very fine white, and in proportion for other descriptions, and 1500 mats Mauritius at the quotations. Foreign.—The only transaction in these descriptions is a public sale of 1100 bags of low Manilla, which were taken partly by the He_ fibers, and partly for export, at los 6d for low damp, to 14s 6cF for middling brown. The sales of Molasses this week are confined to 200 puns., chiefly Trinidad,:at 25s 6d per cwt. Coffee.—The transac tions in Plantation have been limited to about so casks of Jamaica, at steady rates. 20. frazils Mocoa brought 100 s per cwt. Nothing done in Foreign. 150 bags Brazil Cocoa sold at a price not named, 200 pockets Malabar Ginger at 15s per cwt., and a small lot of black Pepper at 3 : }d per lb. Rice has been more inquired for, and 160 bags Bengal sold at 12s 6d to 13s 6J, 200 bags Egyptian at 10s, and 20 tees. Carolina • at- 36s per cwt. There are no sales worthy of notice in. Rum. Tea.—The demand has continued good, and a fair business has been done at last week's quotations. Some trifling parcels of Indigo have been sold, without change. On Wednesday last 400 chests of Shell Lac were offered, but the demand being so moderate, only 100 sold, at 34s to 52s per cwt., with 300 pockets Bengal Turmeric at 25s lid, some small lots of Arabic and Lac Dye at steady rates, and 280 baskets of Terra Japonica at 16s to 17s per cwt., duty paid. In Saltpetre the transactions, are 400 bags, at 29s 60 for very good quality, and of Nitrate of Soda 700 bags, on rather lower rates. Dyewoods.—The sales reported are 2so tons Tobacco and Cam peachy Dogwood at 47 15s to .t's 12s dd, according to quality, 120 tons St. Domingo, Honduras and Jamaica at .45 .5s to £6, 5s ; 30 tons Savanilla Fustic at £7, and 90 ton Lima Nicaragua Wood at £l4. The demand for Turpentine ha:, become dull, and prices have declined, a parcel of fair. quality (540 brie.) which was offered yesterday having been withdrawn, in consequence of 12s being the highest bid, which the holders refused to accept. No sales reported in Tar. At the close of last week there was a brisk demand for Montreal Pot Ashes, and 300 to 400 brls, were purchased, principally at 30s 6d, but for some small parcels 31s was obtained, below which there are no sellers, although the inquiries are uow only partial. Montreal Pearl Ashes are higher, several parcels have been sold at 31s to 31s•4d, and a few at 32s ; there are sellers, however, at 315 9d, and a few buyers at this price. The demand for River Plate Hides continue steady, and about 10.000 have been sold, at 4d to 40 per lb for Ox, and 4id for Cow. Tobacco.—The sales this week amount to 250 hlls„ of which 100, chiefly stemmed, were taken fur Ireland. Buyers operate with much caution, and priees barely supported. The sales in Brimstone are limited this week to 100 tons, without change in price. There has been rather more inquiry for Sumac ; 300 bags Sicily have been sold at lOs per cwt. for old, and los 6tl to lls for new, als les bags Venora at tis 6d. and 50 bags Tyrol at 9s 3d tier cwt. Nothing done in Argols or Tartar. Small parcels of Madders sold at the quotations, SO bales Turkey Madder Roots at 525, and 100 lilids. Ist Philadelphia Bark, principally at 9s, from ship-side. Only small sales in Olive Oil, at previous prices. Fish Oils have been in much better demand than for some time past ; 30 to 40 tons Seal found buyers at £3O for pale, and proportionate rates for coloured, and about 20 tuns Cod brought 427 lOs per tun. Linseed Oil has advanced to 355, which has been paid, and in some instances refused by holders. Pale Rape is steady, at 57s for good quality. • Oil of Turpentine is ..t'2 to .43 per ton dearer, 454 having having been pretty freely given yesterday and to-day. Palm Oil.— The sales have been extensive, amounting to 800 tons, chiefly at .432 to 432 10s, although 150 tons for export were sold rather lower; tile consumption appears to be very heavy, assisted, no doubt, by the present very moderate price. In Hemp or Flax there is not a single sale to report. The Tallow market has been dull since our last, and the sales of ye:low Candle very limited, at 46s 6d. 300 casks South American, withdrawn from public sale last Satur day, have since been sold privately at from Sys to 46s per ewt,, the quality being chiefly of the finest sorts. &I)tpping FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29.—Wind NJ ARRIVED. — CIyde, from Stettin—Dundee, Gregg, from Dundee—Queen Victoria, Beasley, and Troubadour, 1-lun t, from Dublin—Hope, Tyson, from lilverston—City of Glasr ow.
