TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. On Saturday a special meeting of the town council was called for the purpose of receiving and determining on several of the committee reports. The council met at the usual hour, eleven o'clock. THE DOCK ESTATE. The MAYOR announced that the first report that would be proceeded with would be the report of the Dock Committee. Mr. Councillor AMIN, the chairman of the c ommi t tee, then rose. They wer e a w ar e that in the last report the Dock Coin mittee had ,expressed a desire that the dock trusts should be managed on a more liberal scale than preYiously. They had, in consequence of the suggestion thrown out_by the Mayor, waived all manner of technicalities, and bad invited the. Dock Coirf mittee to meet them. The Dock Committee had ap p ointed a time and place of meeting the various:delegated bo dies of Li verpool to be present. They would have preferred a conference with the Dock Committee atone, as they might have suhtnitted to them suggestions which they could ,not bring before those various bodies. The Dock Committee, hoWever, expressed 'a regret that the trustees,. who merely held:Attie ,dock trust pro tempest, should have given notice of their intention to seek for a bill without consulting the town council. The DOck Com-. mittee told them that it would he necessary, in, order to , the framing of a good bill, that the council and the trustees sheuld, act jointly together, and fOr which it was, necessary that there should be certain grounds laid down. The first was, that the council alone ShOuld.remain trustees for the.docks, and that the committee of management should consist of twenty-four, twelve. to be chosen by the council and twelve to be chosen. •by the rate-payers; that this twenty-four, thus appointed, should choose their own chairman, and, in the event of an even division, that the Idayor shOuld decide who should be chairman ; and that the chairman thus appointed should have a second or'. casting vote in the committee. The Dock Committee expressed a desire also that the whole of the dock acts relating to the police should be consolidated, and that the dock police and the town police should be combined. To tbis the dock trustees decidedly objected, and said while they remained in power they would not allow the giving up of the direction of their police to the town, and urged that hitherto their police had been quite as efficient as the police of the borough, anti thatbetween this and November next would be time enough to show whether the new police was more effi cient and ought to supersede the dock police ; and, if it was found to be so, it .might then he desirable that the two police bodies should be united. But they had no power of obtaining an union of the two police forces without the Dock Trustees consented. He dwelt more, on this point because the Watch Committee, in their report, had urged it as a sine qua non that they should make no arrangement without au union of the po lice. lie differed with the Watch Committee on this point, be eause•there was a doubt that the new police might not be so efficient as the dock police, and he should be sorry to bind the dock estate to a system of police that had not vet been tried ; , and on that point the Dock Committee and the dock trustees heilletight, be unanimous. He was sorry to ,say that, having proceeded so near to an arrangement, there was still one point - on which they differed, and therefore an arrange ment had not yet been concluded. The rate-payersdetermined that, after the council had chosen twelve of its body to be on the dock trust, all other members of the council should -be dis qualified from being elected on that trust, because it might so happen that menibers of the council o ho were duck rate-payers might be chosen to serve on that committee on behalf of the rate-payers, and thus give a preponderance to the council. They had arranged all other points except this, and had inti mated to the dock trustees that they should state this point to the council, as they did not thinic it right that they should take it, upon themselves to disqualify any member of that council without its consent. If they Should obtain that consent they should get the matter arranged, hut if not, they remained at variance. In concluding he could not but regret the separation which had taken place between the two police forces. All had formerly been under the management of the town council. Finding that separation had taken place, they must either go on the principle of restoring union altogether, or the rate-payers ought to have a voice in the committee of management. All they could urge was, that if there should be a preponderance on either side, that preponderance should he on the part of the, council. He begged to baud in the report of the Dock Com mittee. The TOWN-CLERK then read the repOrt of the committee pointed by the council on the 6th of January, 1836, to inquire . into the relative position of the dock trust, and particularly with reference to the bill new proposed to be introduced into parlia ment. On the 3d of February the committee had been reap pointed to carry their report into effect, and with authority to bring forward a bill, if necessary, on behalf of the council. The report then went on to say that the committee had had two con ferences with the dock trustees, and had arranged that the trusteeship of the docks should remain in the council, but witbout the veto. That the committee of management should consist of twenty-four, of whom twelve should be chosen by the council, from their own body, and twelve should be chosen by the dock rate-payers. That the chairman should be chosen by the com mittee froth amongst themselves, and in case of an equal division for, chairman, the Mayor to have the casting vote. That the chairman thus appointed should have the second or casting vote. That power should be given the committee of management, in their discretion, to join the Watch Committee in combining the police, to be under the direction of the Watch Committee, the dock estate contributing towards the expense. That the amend ment of the dock laws should be postponed till next sessions. That the committee bad not been able to come to an under standing on the point that members of the council should not be eligible to be elected on the managing committee by the rate payers. With this exception the committee recommended these terms for the consideration of the council. The committee thought the election of members of the council a point peculiarly for the consideration of the council. Were this principal point agreed on, the committee had no doubt but that minor differ ences might be arranged without difficulty. Mr. Giuncillor WA LMSLEY said, however unpleasant it might be to differ from that report, knowing that the gentlemen who had drawn it up had taken very great pains with it, he yet felt himself compelled to do so, especially to that part of it WhiCh alluded to the junction of the two police forces. He considered that that arrangement should not be left to any future arrange ment, tint should now be enforced if they had the power. It appeared the council bad in part that power, or if not that they would have in November next. It might be questionable whe ther the dock estate should not altogether come within the con trol of that council. He apprehended that was the true course to proceed in. But he would waive that, and merely contend that they should have the sole appointment of the dock police force, and combine it with the town police force, in order to greater efficiency. He thought they could not take a different view of it without stultifying themselves in some degree. The council had adopted the following report of the watch commit tee ;-- 4 That this committee do strongly represent to the com mittee on the dock bill that it is essential to the good govern ment of the police that the whole constabulary force of the town should be under one committee acting under the advice and direction of the councii of the borough." It was then a direc tion to the dock committee that this arrangement should not be lost sight of. Mr. Alderman BROWN said it appeared to him a very extra ordinary step to disqualify 52 gentlemen of that council, re turned by the confidence of the town, from being members of the dock estate. Mr. Councillor RATHBONE.—With respect to this disquali-, fying clause, he should hope. there would not be two opinions on it in the council, and it appeared to him monstrous that such a proposition should be made. Those gentlemen who suggested such a thing hail been spending thousands of the funds of the borough to protect a few drunken corporate freemen in the exercise of privileges for which they were unfit, and they now most unblushingly came forward to disqualify men who had 'been proved to possess the confidence of their own townsmen. He trusted that on this point they would be unanimous, and that his friends on the other side of the question would agree with them, so that they should not in this instance at least be a disqualifying committee. With respect to the police, he felt very strongly, and he did think it was wrong where people had been giving days and nights to the consideration of the subject, and had come to the opinion of the advantage of uniting the police, to question their decision. It had been said by Mr. Aikin that the new police ought to be tried before applied to the dock estate, and it hart been said that the dock police was superior. He hoped it was. But before their rising he should read such a display of inefficiency of the town police as would startle every man in that council. The police of Liverpool had been a disgrace, whether they looked at it as moral men or as Christians. The degree of vice which had been nurtured by the police of Liverpool was horrible to look at. But were they to suppose that the new police, as now constituted, would require an experimental trying? It would be a disgrace to the com mittee who had formed them to give them such a trial. He believed the dock police was a very inefficient one, notwith standing what was said; and the more the dock police was looked into the more inefficient it would prove. But they were told that the dock police were willing to surrender up their power at a future day to the town council; he never knew men yet having power wh - o were willing to surrender it. I - le thought it their bounden duty as guardians of the town to protest against any arrangement which did not unite the two bodies together. Mr. Councillor HENRY LAWRENCE fully concurred in what bad fallen front Mr. Walmsley, as to having the two police, forces united. But he (lid not see any reason against the post ponement of this measure, as the power of arranging it would be ultimately in the hands of the council. On the other point, he must say he did not agree with Mr. ltathbone in hoping that they should he unanimous in rendering the non-elected coun cilmen eligible to be elected on behalf of the rate-payers. Mr. Aikin had stated that after the twelve inembers.from the coun cil were chosen, no more here to be allowed to be elected from. the council at large. This was not a novel assertion on the part of the dock trustees; but it was a part of the old bill that a cer tain number of its committee should belong to the council, and none other of the council. He, therefore, thought that after twelve members of the council were elected, that they batt - ob, tamed alt as a body which they could insist on. Brit the council " were to be looked on collectively and individually; collectiveiv they could have nothing. to comidain of, and individually it was more a matter of individual feeling, and ought not to he taken cognizance of by them as a body. He had lately read a very ingenious article on the subject. in the AThion, but in which he did nut concur. Ile did not think that that council was a com plete representation of the town; however, it might be a repre sentation of some parts of it. (Hear, hear.) Ile heard geu- tlemen cry "hear," he thought he could satisfy them on that point. There were 64 of them in that council. From the poll book it appeared that there were 3038 liberal voters. and 2241 conservative voters—not a very small number of conservatives. Fle had divided the number of 5279 votes, the total number of votes which had been given on this occasion amongst the GI coun cillors, and according to that it left 82 votes and a fraction for each member. 2241 conservatives at 83 votes each, would exactly return 27 members of the council. Could there then be any one who would say that in that council the conservatives were faiily represented. There were in that council, as a gen tleman had said, 59 individuals to represent one pals., and four individuals, and as he had been pleased to say, Henry Law rence on the other side. ' (Laughter.) And did they mean to say that five individuals were a fair representation of the con-. iervati ves , whilst the 3038 liberals were represented by 59 indi vidualk. Councillor RATHBONE.—Perhaps the Mayor. would tell tahcMeihow this had to do with the dock police; he did not ex -1,/ePliceive its bearing. should haAvY" did not think Mr. Lawrence out of order, or he mr. Lkwe stated it. subject. ointa;ics: would say that his argument bore on the teer occasions it was said that the council should not be ° e n his the dock trust because they did not represept the town, and ent went to prove that they were not now representatives ",)T the town. And under those circum-. stances he thought it wasamatter for consideration, as they hek come Si) near an arrangementconih with the dock trustees, that they ought to consider the his opinion their actingeorporari, as a lt.l on which they stood ; and in collectiv e body in the dock estate was sufficient. As tothe wouldb e ing stateat , a , future rt re confidenced a y the re positories of the dock trust, he opinion of the most able barrister on the circuit, that on the arrival of the period of the terrninatio m n ihi th h edock act, what wow ye been, so far ever the intention of the legislatur e from the corporation being trustees, they 'n not he at all. trustees Mr. Alderman EvsNs.—lt had baen mentioned by Air.\4ith bone, that he ne v e r kneis,men to depart c from p ower. not the twelve men to he elected on behalf of th e council ere o r . -.porators,.and vionld they not struggle for their power? (near.) It they got all but the union of the police, he did think it was acting in the wantonness of arrogance and power not to make the slightest concession. It was morally certain that, if they got the new constitution, the corporation would ultimately get a predominance to the utmost exttnt they would wish: Mr. Connelller llomisi said it appeared to him that the po lice,tettld not act ellicicutly it it were not under one,head. They could not ascertain where the duties of the doek - police ended and where they 'begun ; and he would 'on no account concede that point. With regard to the other point, that twelve should be taken from the council, andthat the other should not be eli. gible to be elected, he really didnot think it of that importance which others did. Thei, would have twelve to Suppo r t the colin . cil, and it was beyond a doubt but that some of the other twelve would entertain opinions siMilar to these entertained by a m a • jority of the council; and he, therefore, did nut think it a !nat ter worth while contending for,lf all other matters could be arranged. (Heat.) The MAYOR had just had a motion handed; to him by Mr. ,Walmsley, and second e d by Ak r . R at hb one— " Th at it lie an ,:instruction to the committee, in consistency with a former testi to.insist on the consolidation of the town-police and dock; police under one controlling power." Mr. Alderman STUART would ask if all negotiation was at an end? Mr. CoUncillor AIKIN.—By no means. They had fallen back on the council, and the dock trustees on the rate-payers: Mr. Alderman STUART thought the matter in dispute might be arranged by the committee again consulting the duck trustees. The MAYOR said the committee bad gone as far as they thought themselves authorized to go, and before they proceeded further wished to ask the opinion of the council. Mr. Alderman STUART thought it desirable that the two po lice forces should be united, and perhaps the dock trustees would 'not insist on that point if they could arrange the other., Mr Councillor Holism'. said the dock trustees went out of power in November next, when the police bodies might be amalgamated. He wished to state, as far as concerned the dock trustees, that they were acting a middle part with the rate payers on one side, and the council on the other. It. was of no importance to the dock trustees how the thing was arranged. He would caution the council against getting into any , lispote on the dock Ail'', It was a tedious and expensive affair. Ile was one of theiparty fur the separation of the dock estate fron t the council in. 1825. They had a great deal of trouble on that occasion, and the expense exceeded £1,500. Ile would propose , " that the subject of the formation of the new dock trust Corn mittee should be referred again to the sub-cominittee, with full powers to settle all points with the present dock trustees, and report to the council theleon." Mr. Alderman STUART would second that proposition. He understood that it was quite the feeling of the committee that .the police forces should be united if possible. Mr. Councillor lionspa Li. did this that the door of neeocia.; Linn might not be shut. If they shut the door of negociation, the rate-payers would not yield. Mr. Councillor H. LAWRENCE (in explanation.) —If the dock estate were to pay a certain sum, they should pay accord ing to the number of policemen employed in that district. Mr.Ceuncillor RATH coNE (in explanation) had no intention to interfere with the negociatims of the committee, but to give them additional power. Mr. Councillor AIK IN said that, with respect to referring back to the committee with regard to those two points, they had negociated=on both of thew. With regard to the disqualifying clause, he must say that he felt disposed at one time to give way; but the more they had thought on it in committee since, the more they had been led to believe that they ought not to disqua lify any gentle Man of that council. lig hoped a distinct in struction would be given to the committee whether they should give way or not. With regard to the police, ,they were not going to apply for a bill to regulate the dock police force, but to regulate the dock estate for the future. Ile would leave that point to the future committees of management, one-half of the power of which they should have in their own hands to regulate that point. With regard to the police, which Mr. Rathbone had stated to be in a very inefficient state, he must take leave to say that on every occasion he hail observed the dock police to be exceedingly efficient. lie recollected that in a wreck case some time ago the constables of Lancashire and Cheshire failed in detecting the wreckers on all sides, but the dock-police rendered west efficient service. It might also be of advantage to have a little rivalry going on betwixt the two police. He was as much dis posed us any man could be to have an union of the two police; but the fact was, they had not the power to unite them till Nov. .next. The question was, would they instruct their committee to meet the dock trustees in parliament on this point? He was very much inclined to fear that, if it were suggested in the house, the members would say, "These gentlemen are asking for a power of which they will be in possession; they are asking fur a clause to make it imperative that the police should be united, when, in fact, on the Ist of November next, they will have the power to do this if it is found desirable." Mr. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH thought it very desirable that the two police forces should be united, but there was a provision already made for its accomplishment ; and why should they wish to anticipate it. He concurred in the motion made by Mr. Mr. Alderman BENN thought it wrong that fifty-two members of that council should be disqualified. Mr. Councillor BLACKBURN thought it necessary that some resolution recording the opinion of the council should be passed. To decline coming to any resolution would be an instruction to the committee to give way on both points. The MAYOR was just gying to observe that as Mr. Horsfall's proposition could not be considered as an amendment to Mr. Walmsley's, it would be well to decide first of all, whether the council would defer the whole subject back again to the com mittee with full powers. Mr. Councillor Durccer,l would move as an amendment to Mr. Ilorsfall's motion, "that this council do instruct their com mittee appointed to manage the dock affairs on the_ two points now at issue." Mr. Councillor MAX WELL seconded the motion. The Mayon put the question, and Mr. Duncan's amendment was carried by a large majority. Mr. Walmeley's motion was now before them. Mr. Councillor COGLAN, as one of the watch committee, felt convinced it would be very advan►ageous if both the police could be placed under one head. Believing the importance of an arrangement, however, he thought it desirable that they should pause before they entered into a parliamentary contest. He did not think they should "stultify" themselves, to use &lr. Walmsley's expression, if they did not carry the report of the watch committee fully out. He should say that they ought not to spend their funds in litigation Wan arrangement could be ef fected without. On the other point he concurred with Mr Bolton. Mr. Councillor BIRCH would move an amendment on the motion of Mr. Walmsley, "that the committee be requested to resume their negociations with full powers to arrange matters at issue, but on no account to consent to the disqualification of members of the council." The MAYOR.—There were two points; Mr. Walmsley's reso lution was respecting one, and from the resolution they had just passed they must instruct the 'committee; Mr. Birch's motion would do very well for the second point. Mr. Councillor Ai lc IN said the present dock trustees said dis tinctly that while they had the power an union of the police should not take place. If they were instructed to insist on that point on a certain rate being paid by the rate-payers, and if the point were argued in Parliament, how was it to be arranged then as to the proportion of the rate to be paid. He was afraid that by insisting on this point they would make it impossible for the committee to arrange the matter. If they waited till No vember next they would be far more likely to accomplish the desired end. Mr. Councillor BIRCH thought it would be more convenient if Mr. Walmsley would allow the disqualification clause to be put first, and he would move "that it be au instruction to the committee not to consent to the disqualification of the council from being elected on the committee." ,Mr. Alderman BARCLA Y;RCO;:IeCi the motion. Mr. Councillor BOLTON thought it a misconception; it was snot a disqualification. A provision was made that twelve persons should be sent out of that council to represent the whole body. Mr. Councillor EDWARDCKOPPER.—It was a disqualification as to the individual members of that council. Mr. Councillor BOLTON.--If twelve members were,to repre sent sixty-four, could they say that any of the sixty-four were disßuali hed ? Mr. Councillor JIATHBONE said he was a rate-payer. The rate-payers might perhaps in their folly think_him a proper per son to represent them, and by this act of the council he should be disqualified., The MAYOR was of opinion that in taking the votes on this question they should not be satisfied with merely rising and sitting down again, but that the votes should be taken s eriatim. (Hear.) He had not been altogether satisfied with the manner in which divisions bad recently been taken, though they were clearly decided ; he thought the public at large ought to know something . of the manner in which they voted, where principle was concerned. Mr. Councillor RATHBONR concurred with the Mayor. Mr. Councillor BIRCH'S motion Was then put and carried. The following is a list of the division. Mr. Horsfall declined voting on it, and left the room whilst the division was taking. For the motion—Messrs. J. Holmes, Hope, Logan, Thorn• hill, Harvey,E.Smith,Thornely, Itawdon,WGregor,ll.llohnes, Walmsley, Birch, Woollright i Rushton, H. Ilornby, Rathbone, Preston, Maxwell, Aikin, Lassell, T. Holt, Carson, Morecroft, Blackburn, Roskell, Coglan, E. Cropper, Alison, U. Holt, J. Crupper, Jordan, Duncan, Tayleur, Evans, Blain, Moon, Bulley, Freme, Barclay, Booth, Brown, Jones, Benn, and the Mayor. Against the motion—Messrs. Bolton, J. Lawrence, IL Law re n ce, Leigh, Sanrlars, and Stuart. Mr. Councillor HOPE would now move an amendment to Mr. Walutslev's motion, " that the council do leave the question in the hand; of the committee." Alt, Councillor COIi,LAN would move also an amendment, " that the committee be itistrti'cled to 'use their . endetivotifi to consolidate the police, but, in the event of the dock trustees re fusing to comply, not to have a parliamentary contest but leave the management to the present directors." Mr. Councillor 1 - IoPE seconded the amendment and withdrew his own. Mr. ilmincillor EDWARD CROPPER would strongly urge the consolidation of the police, if their opinion were strongly ex pressed on this point they would have no ,difliculty in carrying it: After some further conversation the motion and the amend ment were again read. Mr. Councillor DUNCAN would ask what " the management of the presentdirectors" meant in the amendment? Mr. Councillor EARLE.--A great many gentlemen did not understand the amendment, and wished the gentlemen who moved it to make it clear. My. Councillor Runt 13;qs said if he might be allowed to give an explanation of the amendment it was " as you were gentle men." (A laugh.) Mr. Councillor HENRY LAWRENCE.—Mr. Cog lan merely meant that the police question should not be made a sine qua non in the requisition of the 'committee. Mr. Councillor COGLAN would withdraw his amendment. Yes or no on the motion would perhaps answer every purpose. Mr. Councillor Hopi,: would propose that this council is of opinion that the consolidation of the police is desirable, but do not insist on it as a sine qua non." Mr. Alderman BARCLAY.---They were all agreed on that. After much conversation on the wording of the motion, it was finally agreed on as follows " that it be an instruction to the committee, in conformity with the report already made by, the watch committee, that it is essential that the consolidation of the town and dock : police should be directed under one controlling and directing power, as soon as a legislative enactment can be obtained." The motion was then put and carried by a majority of thirty one to twenty-three. _ _ The following is a list of the division :—For the motion, Messr. J. Holmes, Logan, Thornhill, Harvey, Smith, Rawdon, M'Gregor, H. Holmes ' L. Heyworth, Mello r , W a l ms l ey, Bol ton, Woollright, Rushton, Rethbone, Preston, J. Lawrence, Maxwell, Lassell, T.

Mr Councillor AlKlN.—There being a majority in favour of the last motion, he , should like to know, in the event of the dock committee refusing to comply with it, if they were to oppose them in parliament for the purpose of having a clause intro duced. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. The Me o .--11 ad onb ted ly, in that case, they were to con tend in Parliament. Mr. Citopratt thought it a very improper question. Mr. EARLE thought it a very proper question. Mr. Councillor J. HOLMES.—We have decided that the bill must. be opposed if that motion is not agreed to. Mr. Councillor ''ABLE.--That is speaking out. The MAYOR.—It would be understood by the committee that the bill was to be risked on this point. TOWN-CLERK'S EMOLUMENTS. The next point was a report on the applications of various solicitors on the subject of preparing leases. The To WN -CLE al( then read the report, from which it appear ed that all leases, from time immemorial, had been prepared by the town-clerk, on one uniform system, for which he had receiv ed a fee of one guinea, and•the full charge to the public had been, including all, £3 4s. 6d., and that the system pursued was the same as that pursued generally in other places. The com mittee, therefore, could not concede to this application. Signed Wm. Rathbone, chairman. The M IYOR put the report to the council, and it was adopted. There were other parts of the report of this committee relat ing to the town-clerk, who, from his own personal feelings, wish ed to retire. The town-clerk then left the room. Mr. Councillor RATHBONE said that the parliamentary busi ness connected with the'dock estate might come on, and they would be left in complete confusion if the town-clerk should, under those circumstances, be called to London without any ar rangement being made as to his office. He felt it therefore his duty to submit to them a proposal for a legal arrangement for the Town-hall. A hope had been expressed that the arrangement would not be made to put any political partisan into the office. He begged to state that that had not been the feeling of the committee on this question ; they had looked entirely to the way in which the legal appointment of the Town-hall could be best conducted. The committee had not spoken to any member of the profession on the subject. Mr. Rathbone then proceeded to read over the various duties to be performed bythe Town-clerk, and the various situations he had to fill, amounting to twelve separate offices. The se were t h e legal appointments that were to be filled. He would now read to them the report, which stated, that after mature consideration the committee recom mended that the business of the corporation should be confined to the town-clerk, and that he should have an assistant, That the town-clerk should be clerk of the peace ; and that: his assist ant should act as his deputy in all cases during the town-clerk's unavoidable absence. That neither the town-clerk nor his de puty should be allowed to carry on any private business as at torneys or solicitors but to the corporation of Liverpool, and if this plan were adopted there was a reasonable prospect that the public business would be conducted on an uniform system.. he committee strongly recommended that, in orderto the advantage of the public, the assistant-solicitor should, whenever required to do so, conduct the prosecution of offenders. - That the remu neration of the town-clerk shouldnot depend on . fees, and that what he received as fees should be accounted for to the treasurer. That the town-clerk and assistant-solicitor should have fixed salaries paid by the treasurer; and the committee recommended that the town-clerk's salary s h ou ld b e £2500 per annum, _and that the assistant-solicitor's salary should be £lOOO perannum.. The connnittee had reason to believe, on inquiry,' that by this arrangement such a sum would be raised as, after paying the salaries, would leave a considerable balance of saving .to the borough funds, Mr. - Councillor BIRCH felt that it was a very onerous office to undertake to call into question the services of Mr. Rathbone and the committee; but he must say, as a member of that coun cil, that he for one was not prepared to sanction the payment of sn heavy a sum as £2500 per annum to any officer whatever. lie was folly sensible of the very great abilities of the_present town-clerk ; he must allow that he was a man very highly gifted ; but although he had every respect for him and his great talents, he could not think so very indifferently of the profession at large as to suppose that, in the event of Mr. Radcliffe relinquishing the situation, it would be impossible to find other men to perform the duties he now did, and at a less amount than £2500 per annum. If it was the intention-of Mr. Rathbone to move that that report be adopted, he must move an amendment, for he could not bring himself at all to consent to the grant of so large a slim as £2500. Mr. Councillor EARLE hoped Mr. Rathbone would not pro pose that it be adopted that day. They ought to consider about it a little. He should wish to make some inquiries about it him self.. Mr. Councillor RA TH BONE said it was not his wish to force anything on the council. He had given his reason why he wished it to be brought forward. Perhaps the most convenient course would be to move that the report be printed,"and that it be taken into consideration on Wednesday next. He thought it very desirable that the matter should be arranged as soon as possible. It was quite impossible that that the locum tenens of the town-clerk's office should make his arrangements till he was clerk by a vote of that council. Mr. Councillor L. HEywoRTH would beg leave to second that the report be printed, as the sum was so large that he thought it right that the public should know whether they were doing right or wrong. 'The 111Aveii understood there was no opposition to Mr. Rad cliffe, as an individual, as town-clerk, but that gentlemerywisbed a little time to consider as to the question of emolument. Mr. Councillor HATHBONE must candidly confess, without any disrespect to the profession at large, that there was but one man in the town who was capable of filling the situation of town-clerk. (Cries of "No, no.") Gentlemen might differ from him. Mr. Radcliff e h a d a business, he believed, which brought him in that amount to his own chair, and it was there fore a question with them whether they should offer him an amount equal to his own business to be the servant of the coin mon council during pleasure. He did not think a public body could have any individual, for the honour of being town-clerk, to sacrifice his professional practice for a less amount. if Mr. Radcliffe became their servant they might in three months throw him adrift on the world. On the merits of Mr. Radcliffe it was needless for him to enlarge. He believed that during the last month he had seldom been more than three hours asleep. There were improvements brought forward with a.rapidity which must assure people of his talents and legal acquirements. He must candidly confess that he did not think £2500 was one bit too much—he should rather have said £3OOO than £2500. He did not think that £2500 was too much for that large town to offer for the services of town-clerk. The sum was already well earned by him from what rhey had got out of his brains in the different reports th a t h a d b een submitted. He would con clude by moviug that the report be printed and taken into con sideration on Wednesday, the 2d of March. Mr. BIRCH would merely observe as to one point—as to the exclusive eligibility of Mr. Radcliffe. He had already admitted Mr. Radcliffe's capability. He very well remembered that the same argument was held out about Mr. Foster. He thought Mr. Radcliffe's "exclusive eligibility" just as ridiculous. The profession at large was very enlightened, and many were coin. petent for the situation. Mr. Councillor BOLTON thought they ought to have the town clerk and assistant for £3OOO. Mr. Councillor-Ravinoria thought those remarks were out of place ; if they were going into a discussion on that subject let them go into it at once. Mr. Councillor JORDAN would move that the discussion be deferred until Wednesday next. Mr. Councillor BOLTON said the town-clerk was before them as a candidate for one of the offices, and they knew his merits, but they had no candidate before them for the office of assistant. He thought the salaries should be taken into consideration on Wednesday next. Mr. Councillor EARLE thought the salaries should be fixed before the appointment. Mr. Councillor RATHBONZ believed he was authorised to say that Mr. Radcliffe would not take less than £2500, and it de pended on the emolument whether they had him or not. r. Councillor JORDAN (after much discussion as to the day when they should take the subject into consideration) would move, in order to put an end to a discussion which had no end, "that the report respecting the legal offices be taken into con sideration on Wednesday next, so far as respected the emolu ment of the two offices and the appointment of town-clerk ; but that the appointment of the assistant be adjourned to a special council meeting to be held on Friday next, at eleven o'clock." Mr. Councillor RATHBONE seconded the motion, which was put and carried. _ _ The Ms v oft said the subject was of such importance that they would perhaps take it first into consideration on Wednesday next, which was the monthly s_pecial meeting. The town-clerk now entered the room, and thillsTort an. nounced to him that, after a discussion, the question respecting himself was adjourned until the following Wednesday. The MAYOR announced that he had received a letter from Mr. Thomas Harvey, solicitor, begging to withdraw his claim for legal compensation. ". COURT OF REQUESTS. The TOWN-CLERK proceeded to read the report or the com mittee appointed on the 4th rebrintry last, to consider the sub ject of the Court of Requests, with a view to an application to parliament to extend its jurisdiction beyond its present limits of 405., to secure the strict administ ration of justice, and to sim plify and amend the law by preventing delays. The committee agreed that it would be hi g hly b ene fi cia l if, the practices of the Court of Record were amended and improved, if the vexa .tious removals of Causes were prevented, if the powers of the court were extended to the seizure of goods of parties ab •seonding, if the poWers of the court were extended beyond the limits of the borough, and if the fees of the court were limited, and the salaries of the officers fixed by law in lieu of fees. And, second, with regard to the Court of Requests, that the jurisdiction of the court should, be extended beyond the limits of the old borough; that the constitution 'arid practices of this court required Considerable alteration and amendment; that the amount of small debts taken cognizance of might be extended to £2O. That the committee recommended a. bill to be brought into parliament for effecting those objects. Signed, J. Walmsley, chairman. The MAYOR said they had heard the report read; it was a subject which required very great attention. The town-clerk had corresponded wittr• differenfirrofessional met: in all parts a. the kingdom relating to it. Mr. Alderman Fessin Would ask tke nature of- the debt's generally collected in the Court of 'Requests—if they were not generally ale-house scores? He thought that this bili was cal culated to set aside the trial by jury. • The MAYOR could not inform him as to - the nature of the debts. Mr. Councillor WA imsLigY stated that the trial by jury would he continued, and, with regard to the nature of the 'debts, debts for spirits were nit recoverable there, tut debts for ale were. Mr. Alderman FREME found that the Court of Conscience had been very highly landed in the newspapers, but he thouhY,ht they should n o t 'begin in the new refo r m counc il t o se t them selves up a g ain s t trial by jury. He thought they ought rather• to unite with Lord Brougham in endeavouring to extend the local' courts bill; it admitted of trial by jury, and a man should always be tried 'by his peers. A large portion of unjust. debts were broirght forward at the Court of Requests. Persons were Very frequently charged once or twice over for a debt, and if taken 'before the Court of Requests, the debt was summarily de cided on. And when they considered also that, twiny of those small debts were incurred by the extravagance of the wives of tradesmen who got things unknown to their husbands, who, perhaps, heard of the debt for the first time by a summons from the Court of Requests; and, on the other hand, for debts in curred for ale when the parties did 'not know what they were about, they ought to be very cautious in giving any court sum ry power to arrange those debts. Mr. Councillor RATH BONE, as far as he understood Mr. Freme's remarks, he moved 'that when men got drunk they were not responsible for their debts; and When a man had the mis fortune to have an extravagant wife he was not to be responsible for her debts. (Laughter.) After some further conversation the report *as put and carried. Mr. Alderman BaowN then moved that it be printed and 'distributed amongst the Members of the council, which was se conded by Mr.Councillor J. Cropper, and carried unanimously. WATCH COMMITTEE. The TOWN-CLERK 'then read the watch committee report, which was of great length, and set forth the various arrange ments which have been enteeedinto with regard to the police, and the duties they would have to perform. That there should be a north and a south police station, and that the oil gas works on Rose-hill had been fixed on as a convenient situation for one of the stations. The report was then unanimously adopted. Mr. Councillor WA LMS LEY then moved that the purchase of the oil gas works be•recommended to the watch committee, with full powers to arrange with the director of the oil gas works as to its purchase.• Mr. Councillor TIJORN HILL seconded the motion. Mr. Councillor J. Honies said the watch committee .uneni-, mously recommended that these premises shoed be purchased, and he therefore would submit that Mr. John Cropper and Mr. Wahnsley be authorised to complete the purchase. Mr. Councillor WA LMS L EY expecte d that sufficient land would be sold off so as to. render the expense to the council very small. Mr. Councillor HoLmEes proposition was then agreed to. COMMISSION OF THE PEACE. The MAYOR announced that about a Week ago be had re ceived the colt mission.ot the peace, Wit some doubt had ,arisen as to whether it was necessary to issue detlitnusses to the differ ent magistrates. They had written to London respecting it, and had now received word that dedienusses must be issued as in all other cases. They were written for t and he should have pleasure in meeting the magistrates on Monday. Mr. Councillor RATHBONE wished to' know on whonf the charge of the dedimusses must fall. He should object on prin ciple to pay for them. They gave their time. and their trouble, and he thought that enough. He did not care fur the £3 or £4 expense; he would undertaketo give the amount 'away ; but he objected. to the charge from principle. The MAYOR said an order bad been issued for the payment of the amount to the treasurer ; but that it had afterwards been can celled by the finance committee, who thought the honour and glory of the thing suffi c i e nt i n d ucemen t f o r the members to pay the expense. . _ _ . Mr. Councillor RATHBONE gave notice that he should move that that order of the finance committee be rescinded. The council then separated at three o'clock, and will meet again on Wednesday (to-morrow.) kinporto.

LIVERPOOL POLICE. FRIDAY. (Before THOMAS JAMES HALL, Esq.) FELONY.—John Lalor. and John Holiday were brought up charged with stealing a quantity of squirrel skins, the property of Messrs Roscow and Rigg. Williatn 'Soden, warehouseman to Roscow and Rigg, deposed to Lalor being a porter in their employment. He came to the warehouse ou Saturday night week, and wanted the warehouse No. 6 opening; he said he wanteu to report on some skins to Mr. Rigg. He took him up stairs to the warehouse, and showed him the skins, and saw him pull same down to examine them. Re then left hint' in the room. He was in the room an hour and a half, and then left. He was very much in liqour. The warehouse was in Lither laia-alley. If any thing had been thrown out of the window of the warehouse No 6, he could' not have seen it.—James M aloe deposed to seeing a bundle of skins thrown out of the warehouse No. 6 on the day in question into Laherland-alley by the pri soner Lalor; Ihe priionet Holiday picked the bundle up; and ran down the alley with it.—Margaret M'Muruin, who lives opposite Messrs. Roscow and Rigg's wareho use i n Litherland alley, heating a buhdle fall, shej looked up, and saw Lalor looking out of the warehouse window. Holiday took up the bundle, and ran down the alley with it. The bundle was skins, as she saw the tails. She did not think he was stealing theta at the tirde.—James Coward deposed 0 being head warehouseman of Messrs. Roscow and Rigg. They had many such skins in the warehouse. Both prisoners had - formerly been in their em plovinentas porters. He had counted the skins ill warehouse No. 6, and there were 750 skins missing. —Mr. John Rigg de posed to being a partner with Mr. Roscow, and having a quan tity of squirrel skins iu his warehouse. The prisoners had no authority from him to examine those skins. There were 750 skins missing; they were worth from 60s. to 70s. a hundred.— The prisoners both denied the charge, and they did not believe there was any skins missing, as the man who counted them fre quently 'made mistakes. They were both committed to the sessions to take their trial. MEDITERRANEAN.
