TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1850. IN our remarks last week upon the importance of providing ample accommodation for ship building in Liverpool, we stated that there were many other trades, employing a large amount of population, whose interest was at stake in this question. We propose here to direct attention to one of these trades—perhaps the most important— the engineering trade, which, from combined causes, both of local origin, has been almost driven from the port. A few years ago Liverpool was esteemed second to no other port for the construction of marine engines, boilers, &c. Vessels from other extensive building ports came here after being completed, to have their engines put in or repaired. We were making rapid progress also in the build ing of iron steamers ; and a large and highly remunerative trade was thus growing up, and fur nishing employment for thousands of skilled arti sans. The President, the Hindostan, the Bentinck, and other vessels of large capacity, furnish exam ples of what our builders were enabled to effect in this line ; the City of Dublin Company's boats were built here, and for other steamers of smaller tonnage we never thought of calling into requisition any other resources than our own. The building and fitting of large steamers we have lost altogether. Part of it has gone to the Clyde, and part to London and other ports. And of the smaller craft which frequent our river, such as tug boats, ferry boats, &c., a large portion are not of Liverpool build. What are the circumstances under which this disastrous change has been brought about ? In the first place, and most directly, we attribute it to the compulsory removal of the leading builders and engineers from their yards, before other suit able sites were prepared for their accommodation, and in some instances before any other sites were prepared. When Mr. Wilson, for example, was re moved from his premises at the north end, the City of Dublin Company's business was at once, though reluctantly, transferred to the Clyde ; and there, in all probability, may remain, notwithstanding the accommodation now providing for him at Birken head ; for we are well aware how much easier it is to drive a trade away than to win it back again. It has been urged, however, that although such yards as those of Mr. Wilson and others have been removed, the manufacture of machinery might still have gone on, and the boilers, when finished, have been put in within some of our docks. But it must be borne in mind that the facilities for adopt ing this plan are very few, and the disadvantages and increased expense very great. We have not a dock in the port into which we can take a vessel of the largest size, for the purpose of having her boilers put in, without first taking off her paddle boxes. We have not a crane in the port capable of lowering a boiler of the largest size ; and such a boiler, weighing, say 40 tons, would not be allowed to pass over any of our dock gates. In the yards formerly existing, every facility was afforded ; and vessels of all sizes, whether buiit there or not, could be fitted with engines or boilers at a very considerable saving of the cost involved in the operation as at present suggested, even in the few instances where it can be done at all. The cranage rates, moreover, are exorbitant ; and in certain cases a dock rate is levied upon vessels coming into the docks to receive their boilers, to which they were not liable when put in at the engineers' yards. Add to all these difficulties the expense and annoyance to the public of the cartage through our streets. and the existing disadvantages will be readily acknowledged. But the evil works two ways. It robs both the engineering trade of employment, and decreases, at the same time, the shipbuilding carried on in the ' port. It is of great importance, especially where despatch is required, that a vessel should be built and fitted in the same locality—not necessarily, indeed, in the same yard, but that a reasonable distance only should intervene between the builders' and the engineers' premises. There are many por tions of the work of each which can thus be carried on simultaneously. Thus, the machinery can be erecting whilst the cabin and other work are being executed. Again, many improvements may suggest themselves, which can best be effected by constant communication between the builder and the engi neer. Hence, in all such cases, we are informed that orders which might have come here are constantly being sent to other ports, where the engineering and the building can he carried on simultaneously. The providing of efficient accom modation for the shipbuilders of Liverpool, without at the same time securing accommodation for the engineers, would fail in securing the desired amount of good ; and, on the other hand, accommodation for the engineers, without at the same time increas ing that of the builders, would be of little avail. For example, a large vessel built here to be sent round to the Clyde for her engines must he made thoroughly sea-worthy—planked, caulked, &c.— before undertaking the round ; and the same would have to he done with a vessel built at another port, and coming here for her engines. At either place, the deck would have to be taken up again, and a large sum in labour, &c., thrown away. A portion of the decline in the engineering trade of this port, as of many other trades, may undoubt edly be attributed to other causes besides the want of proper facilities for carrying it on. For instance, the West Indies once gave a large amount of em ployment in the manufacture of engines and machinery for the preparation of the sugar produced in those colonies. After their almost total pros- tration, this branch dwindled to almost nothing ; and the business lately carried on, in connexion with shipbuilding exclusively, is variously estimated at from one-half to three-fourths of the whole. That the main cause, however, of the decline of the trade is attributable to want of local provision for its convenience, and that of our shipbuilders, is obvious from the fact that it has been gradually going on since the end of 1845, when the extensive removals which have since taken place were first resolved upon. The greatest decline has taken place since the latter months of 1847—a period of monetary difficulties which will be remembered by every man connected with the trade and commerce of the country at large. That it was the bounden duty of our local authorities to adopt prompt steps to arrest the pro gress of so serious an injury to the industrious and trading classes of the town will be obvious to every one who will take the trouble to ascertain the numbers of those who have been driven into com pulsory idleness at home, or to carry their skilled labour to other ports or to emigration. Four or five years ago we have been assured that three large firms alone kept in regular employment, on an average, about 3,500 hands, whose weekly earnings, which we may take at 245. per week, or £4,200, gave the large sum of £218,400 as the entire yearly earnings, the bulk of which was of course expended in rents, and in giving employment and profit to artisans, shopkeepers, and others of the town. These firms now, it is confidently stated, employ little above 850 hands, whose wages, at the same rate of payment, are thus reduced to £20,400, showing a falling off of £190,000 per annum in the amount formerly distributed amongst these classes. Need we wonder at the complaints which meet us in various parts of the town, in which this trade was located, of declining custom for the shop keepers, and of untenanted dwellings. At the north end of the town, where a large portion of it was carried on, whole streets of once comfortable cottages, and respectably tenanted houses, are now empty and falling into decay; and the same effect is visible, caused by the decline of the building trade, as well as of this and other trades dependent upon its prosperity. We are not in a position to state what was the precise area of yard accommodation afforded either to the engineering trade, or to the shipbuilders, previously to the recent impolitic changes of the distribution of the dock estate. With respect to the latter, however, it will be admitted to be very insufficient at present, and, indeed, incompatible with Liverpool continuing to be even a third-rate building port, when we state that the extreme ex tent of our existing yards—eleven or twelve in number—does not reach 60,000 yards area, and that some of these are without a water frontage. We adhere to the opinions expressed by us as to the advisability of the increased accommodation required being provided at the south end of the dock estate; and are disposed to lay particular stress upon the sites of the Herculanecum and Harrington estates. With respect to the engineer. TO CORRESPONDENTS. We omitted to state, last week, that parties (lay or clerical) desirous of signing the declaration (a copy of w hich appeared in our last) approving of the proceedings of the Committee of Council on Education may forward their names to the Church and State Gazette Office, Strani, London. the Etberpool &tanbarb. ing trades, we believe it will be found quite prac ticable to accommodate them on the land which is being made north of the Sandon Graving Docks, and which comprises an area of somewhere about 200,000 yards, much of it situated inland, but affording water frontage amply sufficient for the ne cessary conveniences being provided for putting in boilers and machinery for vessels brought there to receive them, either from our own building yards or those of other ports. We have already stated it as the opinion of the trade that it is immaterial whether the builder's yard and that of the engineer are precisely in the same spot. All that is required is, that they should be both on this side of the Mersey, and that the engineer and the builder should be able to work together for the good of their joint clients. This desideratum would be fully effected by the arrangements which we have proposed. We shall not dwell upon this branch of the sub ject further than to impress the important hearing of the whole upon the interests of Liver pool, and of its industrious and trading classes especially. An outlay of half a million to a mil lion sterling in wages may he saved, or lost, to us by the course which we pursue upon this question. Let us, therefore, act in the matter as sensible men, for once, having purely Liverpool interests at heart. And here we feel impelled to offer a word or two with respect to our own advocacy of recent dock proceedings, in relation to this and other matters, and in reply to the remarks of two of our contem poraries, put forth during the past week. The Liverpool Courier has given us the credit of having properly called the attention of the public to the ease of the shipbuilders of the port; but he inti mates that, in so doing, we impugn altogether the past policy of the Dock Committee in extending the dock area of the port, and, at the same time, takes credit to himself for having some years ago given expression to the same views as ourselves. `We cannot, however, remember our contemporary having ever been very decided on dock affairs, except in opposition to the north dock scheme, and in support of the timber trade remaining at the south end. Another contemporary, the Journal, talks in a similar strain as to the south end being sufficient for all purposes—shipbuilders' yards, engineers' yards, and increased dock works as well —and, moreover, quotes Mr. Eyre Evans as an authority upon the subject If we remember rightly, however, it was Mr. Evans who first drove the shipwrights from the neighbourhood of Trentbam street, to secure the site of his pet Albert Dock and warehouses—most paying properties! In reply to both, we think it is now tolerably certain that, without using some of the timber space at the south, we should be puzzled to find accommoda tion for the shipbuilders ; and that the extension to the north is the only event which is likely to enable us to afford accommodation to the timber trade and the engineering business, the importance of which to the port we have humbly endeavoured to show. We beg to direct the attention of our readers to tbe•following commercial document, which, it will be admitted, affords a striking example of the un certainty of business adventures, and especially those undertaken to the new El Dorado. Crockery must he in great abundance in the diggings, when we find it thus selling at less than half the expenses upon its shipment : Ae-ount of sales of nett proceeds of sixteen crates earthenware received per " Treaty," from Rio de Janeiro, for account of the concerned, as under :- 16 crates earthenware for Oct. 16,1849.

AMIDST the wreck of fortunes, and the sufferings of millions, caused by ouriniquitous currency syste the man of money, the possessor of ingots of gold and ingots of silver, or, what is equivalent, of a heavy balance on the right side of the Bank of England's ledger, has thus far looked on with complacency, hugging himself upon the contemplation of his increasing gains, and perhaps debating within himself the question—what fine ancestral estate, what mill, or what mine, the " pressure," and the " crisis," which he loves, will sweep into the meshes of his cunningly-fashioned net. But, if we mistake not the signs of the times, the public, long wilfully blind upon this subject, is beginning to open its eyes to the nature of the process by which the industry of the country is periodically robbed to swell the coffers of the usurer and the monied drone. Men are beginning to see what they pay for the fanciful luxury of "hard money," " the real stuff," or by whatever other name they choose to call their golden idol, which deserts them when they most want it; and inquiring minds by thou sands throughout the country have already fami liarised themselves with the whole subject, and are preparing themselves for the task of securing justice for a wronged and abused people. Amongst those prepared to take a part in the coming struggle of industry against usury we arc glad to observe Mr. Hamer Stansfield, of Leeds, an ardent free trader, an export merchant of thirty years' standing, and a thoroughly honest man. Mr. Stansfield has already done good service by the publication of a pamphlet, which we noticed in our columns; and he has now entered the field again, by addressing a letter to his colleague in free-trade agitation, Mr. Richard Cobden, in which he endeavours to bring that gentleman into his way of thinking, and asks him, now that they !iave succeeded in doing away with protection to agriculture, for his " aid in obtaining from the legislature relief from another species of protection almost as unjust and mischievous—the protection derived by the monied interest at the expense of all other classes from the operation of our currency laws." We rather like Mr. Stansfield's broad assumption that our present system is one for the exclusive protection of the monied interest—of usurers, bill discounters, loan jobbers, and mort gagees. If it had been framed for the express purpose of putting other people's money into these men's pockets, the most astute statesman would have found a difficulty in suggesting an altera tion. True, some of the class for whose benefit it was enacted might have desired a less cycle—for example, a pressure, followed by crisis, every two or three years. But the wily heads that planned it knew better ; that the goose once plucked should be left time for his feathers to grow again before he would be ready for a second plucking, and that a good haul every five years is about the utmost that men not utterly idiotic will allow to be wrested from their earnings by the " monied power." Mr. Stansfield's description of the system is admi rably terse : "The very principle upon which our system of currency is based, and by which our currency is sought to be regulated and maintained, involves the sacrifice of the commercial and agricultural, and all other classes to the moneyed class ; this is openly admitted and avowed by its authors ; they assert that the only way of maintaining the convertibility of the bank note into gold, and thereby preventing its depreciation, is to make money dear when gold is leaving the country, and everything else cheap, in order to bring it back again. A pressure on prices is salutary, they say; a fall in prices absolutely neces sary ; and they seek to produce this pressure by diminishing the legal tender of the country—cancelling the bank notes issued against gold as soon as they are sent into the Bank for gold." His explanation in proof is equally clear. "The natural and anticipated and hoped for consequence of this process, when carried to any considerable extent, as in the memorable year of 1847, is to throw down the prices of the Funds, and of goods and produce of every kind, affording to the foreigner the opportunity at every recurrence, and they are periodical, of carrying away the wealth of the country to the extent of millions, (the loss on interest-bearing securities purchased for foreign account in 1847 being computed at two millions,) obliging the home merchant to indemnify himself for the depreciation of his stock by falling back upon the manu facturer, and claiming lower prices. The manufacturer again endeavours to meet the emergency by lowering the wages of his workpeople, and the power of the latter to purchase being reduced, the farmer cannot get the same price for his produce ; and thus all classes are sacrificed for the maintenance of the system but the moneyed class, who, on the contrary, are bene fitted—the holders of money on such occasions being able to exchange, or, in other words, buy, on more advantageous terms, by ten, or twenty, or perhaps forty or fifty per cent., as the pressure may be. There is no denying the fact that a fall in price is intended; it is, indeed, the end sought to be at tained, and depression, and not steadiness of price, is the means resorted to for support►ngour currency system.,, Mr. Stansfieid might . have gone much f ur th er than this in his descript ion of the calamities caused Till LITIRPOOL STANIAIII. by a monetary crisis, under the operation of these iniquitous laws. There is not a British colony, nor a market throughout the world, where a British commercial house is, in which it is not severely, and often ruinously, felt. The screw reaches to the far westward of the American continent, to the eastward points of Hindostan and China, and to the Antipodes. In all these markets British property must he forced into the market, at what ever sacrifice, to support the tottering credit of its owners at home ; and the sacrifice is not unfre quently made too late, as we know by the sad ex perience of 1847. IT is currently rumoured that for the present all expectations, on the part of the Corporation, of procuring the adoption of the plan sanctioned by the Woods and Forests—viz., the erection of an outer wall extending from Birkenhead to Woodside slip, are at an end. The Birkenhead Dock Com missioners, it is said, decline to concur in the con templated erections ; and as the approval and with drawal of their alleged rights, by the Woods and Forests, are dependent upon the consent of all parties interested being obtained, there is, we pre sume nothing left for the Council but to proceed with the higher wall to Monk's Ferry, as originally agreed upon with Mr. Wilson. The Council Meeting to-morrow will therefore probably be ad journed after the Chairman of the Finance Com mittee has made a statement to the above effect. IT may not be known to all our readers that on the next occasion of a vacancy in the representation of the borough of Wigan, Francis Sharp Powell, Esq., son of the Rev. B. Powell, of Bellingham Lodge, near that town, will be brought forward as the Protectionist and Protestant candidate. This young gentleman is possessed of extensive property, and, though only just of age, has taken high university honours. We have been extremely gratified by the perusal, in the Wigan Times of Friday last, of a speech made by Mr. Powell, jun., at a meeting of the Bible Society in that town last week, and we cannot resist making the following extract ftom that able address : " I cannot but regard this society as a bond of friend ship, and a point of meeting which brings out before the world an union among differences, and a kinship among strangers, which in these days of disturbing doubts, and, I had almost said fratricidal controversies is in the highest degree delightful and consoling. (Hear, hear.) Time was when this union was regarded as neither pro bable, nor possible, nor conceivable. Some of those whose hearts misgave them most, lived to see their fondest anticipations far surpassed, and their warmest hopes com pletely realized. (Cheers.) With us these doubts and painful misgivings are matters of history, and possibly of not unpleasing remembrance. (Loud applause.) I said their union was consoling and comforting to the mind ; it casts to the wind that sarcastic imputation and that bitter taunt, that we Protestants are divided into a thou sand parties, and ten thousand sects, without a common rallying point, a common belief, or a common aim. We have a common rallying point—the everlasting word of the Eternal God. We have a common belief—the belief in its truth. We have a common aim—the circulation of that Word through the length and breadth of the civilised and uncivilised world. (Loud and continued applause.) I am naturally led, from speaking of the union which the operation of this society produces among all men who are called by the name of Christian, to allude to the univer sality of its agency. It is not more definitely accomplish ing its prescribed purpose when among the mountains of Greenland and on the shores of India, than when in a manufacturing town or an agricultural village, (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) To many of those people we owe a heavy debt, and are under a deep obligation. We have demoralized them by imported vices, (habits of intoxica tion for example) destroyed whole tribes by imported diseases (for instance, the small-pox)—kindled an appe tite for war by imported weapons. Let us change our course ; let us alter our policy : let us adopt a new Flan, and let the damage done by the Anglo-Saxon manners— (and by that term I mean to include America)—Anglo- Saxon vices, and Anglo-Saxon diseases be repaired by a new kind of importation—Anglo-Saxon Christianity as embodied in the Anglo-Saxon Bible—(loud cheers)—and in that distant day when the Sun of England shall set, and she is numbered with the nations that are past, there shall be heard amid the confused murmurings and indis tinct voices sounding on the receding stream of time something sweeter than her naval fame ; something softer than her military renown ; something more satisfactory than her mercantile eminence, and more grateful than her intellectual distinction ; the memory of Bible reading, Bible loving, and Bible serving England." It is extremely gratifying to read in these days of apathy and indifference sentiments like the fore going, and to find a gentleman willing and anxious to commit himself not only to a sound political creed, but to adopt the high principles of Protes tantism, and support the cause of religion with his influence and his purse. The electors of Wigan have done themselves honour by their choice, and such men as Mr, Powell, Mr. Butt, and Mr. Young, will make the free-traders in religion and in politics quail before their indignant eloquence. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Night. The accounts from America by the Niagara, which vessel arrived on Saturday evening, bring rather lower prices for cotton from the other side. The weather had taken up, and they had not heard of the improved state of things in Manchester. If the weather were to continue bad throughout the season, instead of securing a moderate crop of two million of bales, it would not reach half a million ; so that we cannot at present see that the pre vious question of moderate supply is at all altered. Our Cotton market opened rather quietly on Friday, but the demand increased as the day advanced. The business was fully 8,000-2,000 of which were on speculation— without change in prices. On Saturday we had a fair de mand, principally from speculators, and the business reached 10,000, half of which were on speculation. Prices of Friday maintained, and in some instances a little more realised. To-day we have had a moderate demand from the trade, also from exporters and speculators. The market was not so animated as on Saturday ; the prices did not decline. The sales were fully 8,000, of which 1,000 American, 1,000 Surat, and 200 Brazils are for ex port, and 1,500 Surat and 1,000 American on speculation. Scotch Pig Iron is not quite so firm as the previous, 445. cash for mixed numbers having been accepted the last week for several parcels. Bars, in Wales, are dull of sale at £4 12s. 6d. £5 here. The public sales of Wool, held here on the 18th instant, consisted of 705 bales Australian, 615 East India, 166 Egyptian, 1622 Peruvian, and 261 Oporto, Barbary, Spa nish, &c.; total, 3369 bales. There was a good attend ance of buyers, who bid spiritedly and spewed great ea gerness to possess the limited quantity offered ; nearly every bag was cleared off, and the result may be consi dered as very satisfactory. The Australians consisted chiefly of a cargo of Adelaide, which realised an advance of d. to ld. upon the last public sales of this description ; fair fleece, rather heavy in condition, averaged 141 d ; handwashed, 13d. to 17d. ; ditto lambs', 141 d. to 19d. ; locks, Bd. to 12d. The East India comprised a choice assortment of useful middle-class Wools, and all sold at an improvement of ;fully Id. The Spanish brought 15d. to 16d. for F. S. and A. Greasy Peruvian, part sold at Gd. to 61d., washed ditto Bd. to 10d., and some superior at 13d., but the principal portion was withdrawn. In Egyptian Bd. to 81d. was offered for white ; coloured and locks sold at 7d. to 71d. Greasy Barbary, from Malta, sold at 3d. to 3d. On comparing the imports of foreign Wool into England during the past six months with the corresponding part of 1849, we find an increase of upwards of 15 per cent. while stocks (particularly of the lower kinds) are much less than at the former period, shewing the consumption to be rapidly increasing. The woollen manufacturers of this country are actively employed, both for the home and foreign markets, with a good business in'prospect. Under these circumstances we cannot but think favourably of the raw material. The Corn markets generally are rather on the decline. The weather intervening between this and Friday last has been everything that could be desired for insuring an early and good harvest, and the trade consequently has remained in the same state as heretofore, holders of Wheat, although evincing more disposition to realise, are nevertheless unwilling to make any concession in prices. Flour being scarce, and in few hands, fully commands previous quotations. Indian Corn has been only in very moderate demand, and with less inquiry for the article in Ireland buyers here are enabled to purchase on rather easier terms.—The arrivals coastwise and from Ireland are inconsiderable ; there has not been a single arrival from Canada or the States ; but from Europe the imports of Wheat reach 21,000 quarters, Barley 3,800 quartars, Beans 2,000 quarters, Flour ( French) 6,000 sacks, and of Indian Corn 1,600 quarters, whilst the export of the latter article during the week amounts to about 8,000 quarters. The last day or two there has not been quite so much life in our Produce markets; but as the consumption continues on a large scale, and is likely to do so, we have no reduction to notice. On Saturday, 200 hhds. of West India and 1000 bags Bengal Sugar were taken by the grocers, and to-day 3000 bags of Bengal and 100 casks Surinam, at full prices. Tea is inquired after, and looking up. Coffee is flat. Brandy : the continued firmness of the market at Cognac has caused some disposition in the trade to buy here, if to be met with below current rates ; holders, however, are firm, and but few parcels have changed hands. In Wines the transactions are confined to ports, in which description a good business has been done, princi pally in low qualities, which are daily becoming scarcer, and consequently command higher prices, the accounts from Oporto stating that further shipments cannot be made except at advanced rates. The Share market has been in a languid state through out the week, and prices tending downwards in most instances. The public are now waiting the half-yearly meetings before entering into future transactions. It would be well if the proprietors were prepared with pointed questions for the directors, who seem to put off as long as possible a correct statement of affairs. Truth should be elicited ; good or bad, let it be known, for there is a doubt as to the honesty of the accounts. We may note a considerable decline in Great Westerns since our last. This company does not, stand well with the public. London and North-Westerns 108 to 109, Great Westerns 55 to 56. Midlands 32 to 32.1. Do. Halves 241, 24i dis. Lancashire and Yorkshire 341 to 35. Li verpool Gas Shares A 195 to 197. Royal Assurance 18s. Ocl. pm. Fire and Life, old, 11 to 1 pm. ; new 21 to 3 prem. These shares are very cheap at present prices. BLUE COAT SCHOOL.—On Sunday morning, after an excellent sermon by the Bishop of Chester, the sum of £63 was collected at ;St. George's Church, in aid of the funds of that excellent charity, the Blue Coat Hospital. The Nepaulese princes take their departure from this country about the middle of August. They proceed to India via France, and the Admiralty have placed a steam boat at their disposal from Marseilles to Alexandria. The County Court in this town has been adjourned to the sth August. We are sorry to hear that Mr. Ramshay, the judge, is in an extremely delicate state of health. The learned gentleman is at present sojourning in the Isle of Man. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Owen M'lntire, a porter, in the employ of the City of Dublin Company, was killed on Saturday. He was raising two barrels of porter from the hold of a vessel in the Clarence Dock, when he received a blow on the head, from the handle of a winch, which caused his death upon the spot. Mutch, the suburban burglar, was apprehended, on Friday, at Leeds, by Murphy, a detective officer of the Liverpool police, who was conveying a prisoner to the former town. A serious burglary has recently been com mitted at a shop in Halifax, by cutting circular holes in the door, and more than £lOOO worth of jewellery was stolen therefrom. OFFICE ROBBERY. — On Saturday afternoon, during the temporary absence of Mr. John Jones, from his office, in Exchange-street East, it vas opened by means of false keys, when property and money, amounting to nearly £2O were stolen. Whilst so many outrages of this description are taking place, the police cannot be too much on the alert. BIOLOGY is the name of a new science, or an original adaptation of the science of mesmerism, introduced into this country by Mr. Stone, an American gentleman. Mr. Stone will lecture this evening at the Assembly-rooms, Great George-street, and as his programme is of the most novel description, we predict a numerous and intelligent audience for the lecturer. DREADFUL FIRES IN AMERICA.—On the 9th instant, a destructive fire broke out in Philadelphia, extending from Race-street to Callor-hill, and from the river to Second-street. Not less than 250 houses were destroyed. Several explosions of saltpetre took place, by one of which a fireman was killed. Four men, two boys, and a young girl were drowned in the Delaware, in attempting to jump on board a schooner.—At Brooklyn, on the 7th, there was also a fearful conflagration, by which many stores, sheds, houses, a distillery, &c. were destroyed. The loss by the latter fire is estimated at five hundred thou sand dollars. _ THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.—Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., engineers and ironfounders, of London, Birming ham, and this town, have taken the contract to supply the building for the Exhibition of Industry of all nations in 1851. It will be constructed from the designs of Mr. Paxton, and will be composed chiefly of iron, wood, and glass. Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co. are the parties who lately erected the splendid iron roof at the terminus of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, Tithebarn street, and are well known to the railway world for their constructions of a similar character. STABBING.—An Irishman, named Gordon. walked into the house of Mr. Pritchard, a collector of rents, residing in Paul-street, on Saturday afternoon, and after a little altercation retired, but returned in a few minutes armed with a sharp chisel. The fellow coolly advanced to Mr. Pritchard, who was seated in the act of writing, and struck him in the abdomen with the chisel. He was brought before Mr. Rushton, to whom a certificate from a surgeon attending Mr. Pritchard, was handed. The magistrate remanded Gordon ' whose only defence was that the poor man who will perhaps pay the forfeit of his life in consequence of the brutal assault, had seized his goods for rent.—Another fellow, by the name of Jack Hunter, was remanded on similar testimony : he stab bed a young man named Robert Wilson in the face with a clasp knife, in Bond-street, on Sunday night. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—To succeed the very attractive concert performances of Maddle. Zingela, the blind voca ist, Madame Reyloff, Mons. Reyloff, and Herr George BigaU, we observe that Mr. Atkin has succeeded in securing the services of Mons. Jullien, whose inimitable band will give a grand concert in the Gardens on Friday •-vc.ning. The great Chef de Baton will introduce some ,f his latest and most fashionable compositions, and the programme amply proves the rich character of the treat •ri store. M. Jullien, who is ever introducing daring no velties :nto that profession in which he is so great a favourite, and which he so eminently adorns, has resolved on this occasion to awaken echo by an unusual outburst of loyalty. At the close of the first part of the concert, his own will be united with the fine military band of the 52nd, and the national anthem will be performed. Here comes the novelty : " Each bar will be marked by a dis charge of cannon," and thus a singular effectiveness will be bestowed. I hose who are going (and of course every body will) may profit by a hint contained in the advertise ment: a ticket may be had at any time before the day of entertainment, for merely the admission-money to the gardens; and with this spur to punctuality, a reference to the pocket at once suggests that it is not wise to " stand upon the order of going," but to apply at once. Last night a very pleasing concert was given by Maddle. Zin gela, a blind vocalist, of extraordinary power. The two talented Revloffs, and Herr George Bigall, an Austrian, but not the less popular on that account, as genius belongs to no country. From the late hour we were unable to attend the concert, but learn that the artistes were greeted with great applause. They are to appear again to-morro w night ; and on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week. POLICE, YESTERDAY. POCKET PICKING.—Mr. John Shaw, who described himself as a surgeon, residing at No. 62, Mount-pleasant, appeared to charge a lad of the name of James Davidson with having picked his pocket of a cigar case, in James street, on Friday afternoon. Mr. Shaw, upon missing his handkerchief turned hastily round and encountered the lad, whom he searched, but without discovering the lost case. Another man at the moment passed, and Mr. Shaw feeling convinced he was an accomplice pursued and searched him, but again without result : the next moment Davidson presented the cigar case, saying he had found it on the ground. The lad, who is well known to the police, was committed for trial at the present Sessions. ASSAULTS ON THE GOVERNOR OF THE WORKHOUSE BY FEMALE PAUPERS.—Between eight and nine o'clock yesterday morning in consequence of some misconduct on the part of two girls in the classification ward, in the workhouse, Quirk, one of the officials, took them before the governor, who, upon hearing the charge against them decided that they should be sent before the magistrate, and a police-officer was brought for that purpose. Upon seeing the serious turn the affair was taking, one of the girls, Elizabeth Jones, produced a bottle containing hu man excrement, which she flung with great force at the governor's head, which, however, it fortunately missed, and coming in contact with the wall was shivered to atoms. Brown, the other girl, took off her clogs, and hurled them also at Mr. Evans's head, but with no more serious consequence than in the other case. The girls have both been in custody before for refractory conduct, and a witness who attended stated that Jones had carried a knife about her person since Thursday last. Mr. Evans, the governor, appeared to give evidence in the case. He stated that he was in a weak state of health, a fact known to the prisoners, and, in his opinion, the reason which prompted the assault. He further stated that had the bottle struck him, the result would probably have proved fatal. Both the prisoners were committed for trial by Mr. Rushton, who observed that mild treatment had no effect in teaching them their duty. SHOPLIFTING.—Three girls of notorious character, named Catharine 141`Grath, Mary O'Donnell, and Mar garet Lowry, were committed for trial for having attempted to steal some shirts, on Saturday afternoon, from the shop of a person named Carver, who carries on the business of a hosier in the Old Haymarket. SHOPLIFTING AND ROBBERY OF AN EMPLOYER-- A youth named Patrick Leigh, residing with his parents in Stockdale-street, was charged with having stolen a number of books. The prisoner had offered for sale, on Saturday afternoon, at Mr. Lane's, Paradise-street, two volumes of " Harcourt's Doctrine of the Deluge." Mr. Lane at once recognised the books as the property of his relative, Mr. Young, bookseller, of South Castle-street. Subsequently, a police-officer was sent to the prisoner's residence, where other books, supposed to have been stolen, were discovered. Mr. Young having identified the books, the prisoner was remanded. Shortly after wards, another lad, named Patrick Doughty, a lodger with the prisoner Leigh, was brought up. His arrest happened in the following manner :—While the officer was rum maging for stolen goods on Leigh's account, be found a parcel of tea and another of sugar, together with £7 and a new suit of clothes. This box was claimed by Doughty, who at once confessed that the property enumerated belonged to his master, Mr. Toole, a grocer, in Marybone. When taken, he had 4s. in his pocket, the amount of that day's peculation. The tea and sugar were identified by Mr. Toole, and Doughty was committed for trial. CHESTER ELECTION. FAREWELL, MY NATIVE LAND ! Written for Kah-ge-ga-gah-bowie (Geo. Copway), a represen. tative from the North West Tribes of American Indians, to the Peace Convention in Frankfort-on-the-Maine, Germany ; and recited by him on board the British steam-ship Niagara, at the hour of sailing from Boston, July 10th, 1850. I. The day is bright'ning which we long have sought, I see its early light and hail its (lawn; The gentle voice of Peace my ear bath caught, And from my forest home I greet the morn. Here, now, I meet you with a brother's hand— Bid you farewell—then speed me on my way To join the white men in a foreign land, And from the dawn bring on the bright noon day. Noonday of Peace ! 0, glorious jubilee, When all mankind are one from sea to sea. H. • Farewell my native land, rock, hill, and plain, River and lake, and forest home adieu ; Months shall depart e'er I shall tread again Amid your scenes, and be once more with you. I leave thee now ; but, whereso'er I go, Whatever scenes of grandeur meet my eyes, My heart can but one native country know, And that the fairest land beneath the skies. America ! farewell, thou art that gem, Brightest and fairest in Earth's diadem. HI. Land, where my fathers chased the fleeting deer ; Land, whence the smoke of Council fires arose ; Land, whose own warriors never knew a fear; Land, where the mighty Mississippi flows ; Land, whose broad surface spreads from sea to sea ; Land, where Niagara thunders forth God's praise, May Peace and Plenty henceforth dwell with thee ; And o'er thee War no more its banner raise. Adieu my native land,—hill, stream, and dell, The hour hath come to part us,—fare thee well. J. S. A CHANCERY PROCEEDINGS.-EXCELLENT AMENDMENT OF THE LAW. Several excellent amendments have recently been made in the practice both of the common law and equity courts, but we are not aware that any of more importance to the public have been effected than are detailed in the following letter, with a sight of which we have been favoured by a gentleman in this town. The expenses attendant on the application referred to in the letter will not be a tithe of what they have hitherto been, and the tedious delay always unavoidable to tho present time on such occasions will be altogether obviated. NEW CHANCERY PRACTICE. 13TH AND 14TH VICT. CAP. 35. It has long been felt to be a great evil that where parties required the decision of the Court of Chancery on the construction of a deed or will, it could not be obtained without the formality of a suit, and the delay and expense of taking a variety of accounts, which no one required, and making numerous enquiries for the purpose of satis fying the court that there really was property on which to adjudicate, and that all persons who might, by any pos sibility ever have an interest in it were parties to the suit, such accounts and enquiries resulting frequently in the subject matter of the suit being swallowed up in costs. To remedy, in some measure, this evil, an act has recently passed to which I beg to call your attention, the object of which is to enable parties, desirous of doing so, to obtain the decision of the court on the matter really in issue between them, without being forced to incur the expense of useless accounts and enquiries ; and to effect this object, the act provides that parties interested in any question as to the construction of any act of parliament, will, deed, or any instrument in writing, or any question of title to property contracted to be sold, or any other matter falling within the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, except matters in bankruptcy, may concur in stating a special case which is to be heard by the court, and on which the court may declare the rights of the parties, without proceeding to make any order for relief; and every such declaration is to be of equal force with a decree in binding the rights of the parties, and to afford complete protection to all trustees and executors acting upon it. l t also provides for the better security of exe cutors, by enabling them, at any time after twelve months from the death of their testators, to obtain by a motion, of course a reference to the master, to take an account of the debts and liabilities of their testators, on which the master will report, and after payment of the debts found due by the master, the executor may apply the assets ac cording to the directions of the will without any liability from any proceedings to bs taken by any other creditor. This is a most valuable provision ; for, as the law stood, until the passing of this act, an executor could never be sure that he was safe in dealing with the assets; and now a very cheap and simple mode is provided, by which he will obtain a complete indemnity. There are no com pulsory clauses in this act, and persons fond of a tedious and expensive suit, may still indulge their taste ; but to persons desirous of settling their disputes cheaply and expeditiously, the act is a great boon, as it enables them, at a comparatively trifling expense of money and of time, to obtain a decision on the question in dispute, and that alone leaving them to carry out the decision without having recourse to the expensive and dilatory machinery of the court. THE POLLING. The polling commenced yesterday morning with great spirit, both parties making strenuous exertions to bring up their men, and great excitement being manifested throughout the town, especially in those streets adjoining the polling booths. For the first hour, the Egerton party took the lead ; and at nine o'clock the state of the poll, according to their own return, was Nine o'clock, for Egerton.. Stanley Majority 3l The return of the Stanley party gave the same majority, although 90 voters more are given as having polled ; and as this discrepancy occurs throughout, and is traceable to the two returns being made up at different periods of the hour, we shall adhere to the return of the Egerton party, although it is quite possible that both may be correct. At ten o'clock the Stanley party had recovered a little of their lost ground, the numbers being, Ten o'clock, Egerton • • .. Stanley .. Majority.. At this period of the day there appeared upon the scene a class of men, who may have been found useful as sup porters of losing candidates in some boroughs, but whose presence we should have thought ought not to have been required, or even tolerated, by a Whig candidate in the Whig city of Chester, and that candidate a Stanley. We refer to gangs of ruffianly navvies and labourers of all descriptions, evidently primed with beer, and appearing, by their conduct throughout the day, to regard getting up a fight and maltreating some of the opposite party as the day's work to be performed for their gratuitous drink. During the afternoon, especially, scrimmages occurred almost every five minutes in the immediate neighbour hood of the various polling booths ; and the ancient city will no doubt be enabled to display to-day as many black eyes and bruised noses as any place of its size. From ten to eleven o'clock, the Stanley party took a de cided; lead ; and at the close of the hour the numbers an nounced were— Eleven o'clock, EE, , erton 476 /f Stanley Shewing a majority for Mr. Stanley of 99. This majority was increased every hour from this time, the numbers being, at Twelve o'clock, Egerton 555 Stanley Majority for Stanley 196 One o'clock, Egerton ~ Stanley Majority for Stanley . . . At two o'clock Mr. Egerton's committee published no return ; and as little way was made on either side from that hour, we give at once the final close of the poll, as announced by the sheriff : FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL.-FOUR O'CLOCK. Stanley 986 Egerton .. Majority for Stanley The number of voters who polled was thus 1,631. There were, we learn, a little above 2,100 names on the register; but many of these being twice on the list, as householders and as freemen, the real constituency may be considered as having been polled to a man. Indeed, we may say even more than this ; for it was ascertained, on examining the returns, that somewhere about sixty parties, long ago called to their fathers, had risen from their graves to vote for the popular candidate. It is we believe, about twelve years since the City of Chester was contested, which will account for the irregularities which took place, and we may mention, lest it should be considered that the defeat of Mr. Egerton is a signal one, that on the occasion of the last contest, the Honourable Dudley Ryder, the conserva tive candidate, did not poll abovehalf the number of votes recorded yesterday for Mr. Egerton. At the close of the proceedings it was announced that the final state of the poll would be declared in the Town hall at 5 o'clock ; and long before that hour it was crowded by the supporters of the winning candidate, who amused themselves, up to the hour appointed, with giving three cheers for every body and every t%ing that could be men tioned. Indeed, so desirous of indulging their lungs were the worthy and independent electors present, and so far had they exhausted the catalogue of their friends, that a gentleman at length proposed " three cheers for nobody," which was responded to as lustily as many other invitations. The official return of the polling having been announced, the necessary forms were gone through, after which Mr. Stanley, the sitting member, briefly ad dressed the electors. Mr STANLEY said that he stood there as their repre sentative to serve them in parliament, by the free, independent, unbiassed, and, in most cases, unsolicited votes. (Uproar.) It was the proudest situation in which any man could be placed. They had achieved one of the noblest victories that had ever been won in that city. He had not come before them on his own merits ; he came to represent principles, and by God's help he would maintain them. (Cheers.) He was proud of being a Cheshire man, but prouder still to be a representative of that city. That had been no ordinary contest ; the eyes of the country were upon them. That was the earliest election since an attempt had been made to reorganise the tory party. For the last thirty years their exertions had been used to carry out the principles dear to their hearts. After a little more similar complimentary talk, and an eulogy on free trade, the hon. member concluded by ex horting his friends to use every forbearance towards their opponents. An hour before the close of the poll the shops throughout the city had been closed. In some localities this precaution had been observed during the day, in anticipation of a disturbance, owing to the unruly conduct of the Stanley mob. LIBERALITY. — Reporters were not admitted to the Palmerston banquet, on Saturday, until after the cloth had been removed, and few therefore submitted to such an indignity. THE WEATHER.—We have had continuous fine we ather during the last few days • the heat has approac hed an easternintensity, the consequence of which is that the land has become much parched, and rain is require.d on many accounts. Still the present genial weather is in many respects acceptable to the farmer. WALLASEY C OMMISSIONER S.—On Thursday Messrs.
