AT the ADJOURNED GENERAL ANNUAL MEETING of the PROPRIETORS of the LIVERPOOL BANKING COMPANY, held at the Clarendon-rooms, in Li verpool, this 3rd day of April, 1848, GEORGE RAMSDEN, Esq., Chairman, in the Chair, The Report of the Auditors, appointed at the General Annual Meeting of the 7th of March last, having been laid before the Meeting, and having been read, of which the following is a copy i 'VO THE SHAREHOLDERS IN THE LIVERPOOL BANKING CO M PA " In pursuance of the resolution passed at the Meeting held on the 7th ultimo, we have proceeded to investigate the affairs of the Bank. " The Manager placed before 'mall the Books and Securities, and afforded us every facility. " Our attention was, in the first instance, directed to the Books, for the purpose of testing the accuracy of the Statement submitted by your Directors of the last Meeting. The Books have been kept satisfactorily, and as to its mere figures, the Directors' Statement is quite - correct; but with their Estimate of Assets, Debts, and Securities, we do not concur. " Upon a careful review of all the circumstances, we cannot but feel a strong conviction that the Assets have been over rated, but to what extent we are unprepared to state; for some of the Securities are of such a nature as not to admit of imme diate realization in times like the present. The Bank, however, is perfectly solvent, and, after payment of all its liabilities, will yield a considerable surplus to the Proprietors. EDMIiND WARD. • JOHN W. COWARD." Resolved,—That the Auditors' Report, read at this Meeting, be now passed. Resolved,—That, in the opinion of the Meeting, it is not expedient or advantageous to increase the number of Directors beyond the present number of seven, and that no other Direc tors be elected at this Meeting. By order of the GEORGE RAMSDEN Chairman, The Chairman having left the Chair, RICHARD BRIGHT, Esq., being called to it, Resolved,• That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman, for his able and impartial , conduct in the Chair.

What a chance_ for the owners of property in that deserted village ! We should advise the advertiser, however, to preserve a 'strict incognito' during his selection of the pre mises required ; or if he allows his identity to be disclosed, not to trust himself in Birkenhead, for fear of raising a mob and being pulled to pieces by the number of parties who have property wanting occupants. We look forward with hope of seeing " wanted a few streets" in our• own advertising columns, as the next indication of progress. rethaecd by ley have 'her/ re- BeCaiife THAT 4i lotdd _ The assertion hereis palpably that " the existing autho rities," promoted the spread , ef famine and death in Ireland ; and that the extent of such mortality " justifies revolution." An ignorant reader, such as the bulk of those to whom it was addressed, or a foreigner, would nate4ally arrive at the conclusion that we hedged round the unfortunate people of Ireland in their famine and fever, and prohibited every effort of theirs, or of their own fellow countrymen to snatch them from death. Not a word about the eight millions of money spent upon public works in Ireland, and in the gratuitous distribution of food amongst them. Not a word of the bountiful exercise of English benevolence to aid them, whilst the Mitchels and Meaghers, the Smith O'Briens and the O'Connells buttoned up their pockets, or expended their energies as cheaply in brawling diatribes against the hands by which that aid was brought. Such lying statements are not only retailed without shame in the columns of the Repeal prints, and from the platforms of Repeal gatherings, but we are still more concerned to find that they meet with a large amount of belief. It is clear, from the tone of these prints and the ha rangues of the demagogues with whom Ireland is infected, that the mask which treason has so long worn in that Unhappy country is being torn aside. Repeal—a return to the state of things existing before the Act of Union— the regeneration of Ireland by means Af a native parlia ment connected with the British legislifure—is no longer the object held up as sought. - Complete separation is now the object spoken of. A Republic, in alliance with France, or any other country willing to draw a sword against Great Britain, and the confiscation of British property in Ireland and its partition amongst the pea santry of Ireland, are now openly contemplated and pre pared for. We hear of arming and drilling—of the formation of clubs and a National Guard—of signal fires, which are to blaze out from every hill, and to announce that the.work of blood has commenced. The ultimatum which the rebel leaders seek has been pronounced ; and it only remains a question of time when the word is to be given and by whom. In the mean time, the people are utterly misled as to the nature of the power which they have to contend with and overcome. Their press tells I them that Ireland is unanimous in its efforts to shake the British connexion ; that all they have to do is to " smash through the Castle of Dublin/' overpower the garrisons and the constabulary in the provinces, and become at once an independent people —or, as they int er p re t th e meaningni the words, to establish a mob dictation upon the wreck of the institutions of the country. They have never been told of the hundreds of thousands of loyal men, who have declared their adhesion to the governing powers, and are ready to meet force by force to put down and to crush rebellion. Not a word of the recent addresses of confidence presented to the Lord Lieutenant is permitted to reach their ears. Upon another point the peasantry generally are mis leading themselves, and a large portion also of the' Eng lish people are entertaining unnecessary fears. It is their impression that the military force in Ireland cannot be depended upon ; that, in the case of. an outbreak in Ire land, they will be disposed to fraternise with the people, after the example set them by the troops of the line in Paris. The parties to this mistake cannot have suffi ciently observed the difference in feeling and position which exists between the two bodies. The French soldier makes it his proudest thought that he is of the people; and on every occasion of collision with the governing power, he sympathises with the popular feeling and fra ternises with the people. It was so in the revolution of 1792 ; it was so in the revolution of 1830 : and we have just witnessed another display of the same spirit. The English soldier, on the contrary, regards himself as se parated by his duty from the masses oat of which he has been taken. The humblest private imbibes, from the day of his enlistment, a kind. of esprit de corps. 'He considers himself as one of the hands of the executive power, and looks down upon the mere "civilian" as. upon a being a grade below his position. In num'oerless cases of out break amongst our working masses, when the hard duty has been imposed upon our military of acting against the turbulent, whether English, Irish. or Scotch, they have invariably been found to do their duty, mildly and with forbearance, yet without the slightest show of a disposi tion to make common cause with the disaffected, or even to waver in their obedience to commands which may have been distasteful to their natural feelings of humanity to wards their misled fellow-country men. And so; we are confident, it will be found in the crisis which threatens. A few exceptions there may perhaps be to the general rule. A few unruly characters may be seduced from their duty, and desert. But the hulk of the British army will be found willing to do their duty, whether against rebels in Ireland or a foreign enemy. It is not to be denied, and we deplore the fact, that we have serious difficulties to encounter in the effort to re- Eore Ireland to a state o' peace and rest. We have first an agitation to repress, which is harrassing the country and retarding its progress towards a self-supporting posi tion. That agitation must be put down, for Ireland's sake as well as our own. And when it is put down— when ere have " unthread the rude eye of rebellion "—we shall have none more ready to thank us for the effort than the deserving portion of the population of Ireland herself. Despite the howlings of treason which at present salute our ear from amongst the turbulent and worthless iu that country, we are assured that a feeling of strong distrust has already been excited, and is spreading among the industrious classes, of the sincerity of the demagogues who seek to impress upon them a reliance upon outrage and disorder for the removal of the evils which afflict them. These classes are longing to be released from the dictation of-their priesthood and incendiary advisers, from Agrarian disturbance, and the insecurity of life and pro- perty under which they are placed. For them the O'Con nell swindle has had its day. The more rabid confedera tion movement—the rebellious struggle of the men of pikes and rifles—will, we repeat, have to be met with force, upon whatever field may be chosen for the trial. REPORT OF THE WATER COMMITTEE, We have received a copy of this important document which will be laid before the members of the council at the monthly meeting to-morrow. We gather the follow ing facts from it :—Of the sum payable to the Harrington Company, £147,031 has been paid in bonds, and the re mainder in cash. To the Bootle Company, £127,680 has been paid in bonds, and the rest in cash. The nett rental of the two companies for the past year was £33,685, re presenting a capital of upwards of £660,000. The reve nues of the companies have been gradually and annually increasing, and will, doubtless, continue to do so, whilst • the expenditure will be materially diminished now that the works are conducted under one management. From Mr. Hawksley's report it is now an ascertained fact, that the quantity of water distributable from the works of the two companies conjointly does not exceed three millions of gallons daily, and if the quantity be assumed at 2,800,000 gallons, this would only afford a supply not exceeding seven gallons per individual per diem, inclusive of what is supplied for trade and shipping. Twenty gal lons per head per diem are, however, absolutely necessary, and the quantity required for the present population and for the purposes of trade is therefore eight million gallons per diem, which shows a daily deficiency as regards the wells of the two companies of five million two hundred thousand gallons. Towards meeting thigi deficiency the works at Green-lane will yield a daily supply of 1,200,000 gallons, but of this 400,000 gallons will daily be wanted for watering streets and flushing sewers, and the obliga tion still remains upon the Council to keep the mains connected with these works constantly charged, so as to be instantly available in case of fire. There will still, however, remain a daily deficiency of more than four million gallons, and the committee therefore consider it necessary to put in force, with the least possible delay, the powers with which parliament has invested the Coun cil for the purpose of obtaining such supply. The Coun cil cannot give a constant supply from the present sources, neither can the adjacent districts receive any benefit un less a large addition is made to the present limited supply. The committee therefore recommend " that immediate steps be, taken for connecting the mains of the water com panies with those of the Green-lane works," and " that the committee be authorised to take the necessary steps for the construction of the reservoirs and works referred to in the Water Works Act." The power for the com pulsory purchase of land under the act will expire in July, 1850, and for the completion of the works in July, 1852. The committee ask for powers to retain the services of Mr. Hawkesley for the purpose of carrying into execution the new works, and completing the combination and adap tation of the existing ones. Mr. Ashlin (the efficient treasurer under the Sanatory Act) is also the treasurer under the Water Works Act. He recommends the ap pointment of five clerks for the in-door department, and the committee recommend the gentlemen employed at the works, when purchased by the corporation, at the salaries theythen received. Mr. Ashlin states that there are at present employed under him in collecting the lighting, fire police rates, &c., twelve collectors, and he recom mends that six be appointed i n a dditi on to these, for col lecting the water rents. The total salaries of the six persons thus employed will be £lO5O (exclusive of bonus.) There have been hitherto employed by the two companies four teen collectors for collecting the water rents and charges alone, who were paid by a per centage on the amount collected, which per centage amounted last year to £2869, so that by adopting the system nowrecommended,a saving of £1305 per annum will be effected in this branch of the establishment. Mr. Hawkesley recommends, in addition to the general workmen, foremen, &c., the appointments of a principal engineer (versed in hydraulic science); a superintendent of stations and tnachinery : a superintendent of distri bution : a pipe -master ; a superintendent of shipping supplies :, a bookkeeper, and an inspector or assessor. The report of the committee is signed by Mr. Ambrose Lace, the able chairman of the Health Committee, who, in conjunction with the other members of the committee, has contributed greatly, by unwearied exertions, in im proving the sanatory condition of the town. IMPORTANT DEMONSTRATION OF THE SECU RITY AGAINST FIRE OF .MILNER'S SAFES, AT OXFORD. At the meeting of the Liverpool Polytechnic Society, on Monday evening last, W. BENNETT, Esq., ironfounder, the president, in the chair; the SEMETA AT rose and said : Sir, observing from the papers that some.yery interesting experiments have be en ma d e on Mil ner ' s S afes at Oxford,- by a number of scientific gentlemen, and seeing Mr. W. Milner present, perhaps you will request him to give us the particulars. The PRESIDENT having called upon Mr. MILNER., he re plied :-1 would in the first place, Mr. President and gen tlemen, return our best thanks to you and the council for your introduction to the Ashraoleau Society at Oxford, which at once secured for us the interest and attention of that noble scientific body, and of the Universities, under whose sanction and superintendence our public test was arranged and conducted. They saw that the fires were hot enough to prove that it was no sham fight was made against the enemy, keeping the armour of our principle (ow safes) red hot for five hours, and I have great plea sure in reading their high testimony that we brought off our.oolours from the ordeal without a singe upon them. In bringing their manufactures under the notice of the Universities, Thomas Milner and Son had letters of re commendation to the Lord Bishop of Oxford, to many scientific gentlemen, and from the Liverpool Polytechnic Society to the Ashmolean Society, who have kindly inves tigatedthe claims of their invention, by witnessing a se vere public test of its merits, for which the patentees re turn their sincere thanks, and beg to lay the following testimonial, with which they have been honoured, before the public : " Oxford, March 16, 1848. " Having this day attended the testing of Milner's Fire Resisting Manufactures, conducted under the sanction and superintendence of the authorities of the university and city (by kind permission, in Mr. F. Symonds' Close), Milner's Banker's Safe, fill e d w ith b oo k s , gunpowder, a £5 note, a watch, &c., &c., being surrounded with fire for five hours—Milner's No. 1 Safe similarly filled, and kept in red heat for two hours and a half, add an Iron Safe, not of their make, for one hour and a half, (to chew the contrast)) ; its contents being reduced to tinder, and those of Milner's Safes unsinged. We have much plea sure in expressing our decided approval of the principle of these Safes—combined non-conduction and evapora tion—our great satisfaction with these experiments—the fires being made to convey the most intense heat—and, from the very perfect state of the contents of each of Mil ner's Safes, our unhesitating opinion of the perfect secu rity they afford to hooks, deeds, records, manuscripts, &c., &e., against the ravages of fire in all ordinary cases, and we do with great confidence recommend them to the public for general use. • H.

The proceed ings were warmly and loudly cheered throughout. GENERAL TRADE REPORT, Monday Night. The eccentric and mischievous vagaries of King People, with his plaything, monarchy, have become matters o every day occurrence. Exchanges are nearly obsolete, and bank-clerks are taking leave of absence to play at soldiering. Those old-fashioned principles which shave hitherto been deemed essential to national and individua happiness and prosperity, are passing like shadows into the dim obscurity of the past. Functional diseases are to be remedied by organic changes. Democracy stands forth in the face of the world a power acknowledged and obeyed : the denounced charlatan of yesterday is the favoured physician of to-day; and the pill " equality" is prescribed as the universal panacea, gilt over by the spe cialities of the time-serving sophists who have frothed themselves to the surface and may float for a season, until the bubble bursts. Whil e "f raternity " is spouted forth in theory, but forgotten in practice ; and the world is told that nothing can be good which is not new. So long as international policy remained intact, we en t erta i ned hopes that the peace of - Europe would not be disturbed beyond the civil squabbles which had occurred, and were impend ing; but the step taken by the King of Sardinia in the south, and the position of Denmark and Poland in the . _ north, give a warlike aspect to aff • willingly, we are compelle which, ho owledge. present movement is of a character so orrginal control is so far lost for the matter of doubt whether the T kingly ;--that it become if Austria will not rather than impede L.— pendence; and it is more than of the same influence may produce north. But these are only speculations ; of present anarchy is before our eyes, and while it cot. nues so we should not be surprised if public remain at their present low figure, or if trade be limited to the imperative necessit: might have been expected, C and on Friday were done at 8O Saturday, after fluctuating betw& at 81k to 4.

The notes in circulation amounted to £17,603,075, shewing an increase of £155,985, when compared with the preceding return. There has been no great improvement in the SHARE MARKET during the past week; some slight fluctuations in the smaller shares and speculative the jobbers an opportunity of makin g then, to whom the business has been an., confined. We do not think that capitalists present opportunity of investing ; will, shares cannot be much lower socks have afforded rofit now and lost altogether tor, come The ti•affic;re ex ie times are, shew At the I ceedingly good, and depressed as t generally an increase over last year. ..anburgh and Glasgow.meeting, on the 28th, it was unanimously resolved to pay no dividend this half year, but to retain the whole of it (61 per cent.) as a reserved fund. This, strange to say, caused a considerable rise in the stock. London Stock rose, from 124 to 128, +-Shares 1* to 21; Midland Stock from 97 to 101, I-Shares from 54 to 6 dis. We give a list of this day's prices elsewhere. The average per month of railway calls from January to April, 1847, was £3,843,477, or at the rate of £46,121,724 per annum ; during the same period of 1848, it has been £3,194,847, or at the rate of £38,338,164 per annum. At the meeting of the shareholders in the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, on Thursday, an adjournment until the 17th instant was agreed to, with the view of affording time to the committee for comple ting their favours and preparing their report. We cannot better describe the languid state of the COLONIAL MARKETS here than by quoting an apt ob servation made on 'Change to-day, that " the grocers seemed afraid of being caught with a pound's worth of stuff in their possession." The London markets have been all more or less influenced by the disturbed state of the Continent, and nearly every sale effected has been at lower quotations. The inquiries for saltpetre, how ever, have continued, and the article has again advanced about ls. 6d. per cwt. A general and very good demand for COTTON to-day, and entirely from consumers, who have purchased freely at Saturday's prices. There has been some little uneven ness in prices to-day, yet on the whole it is a steady, firm, and satisfactory market. Holders do not press their stock, but are willing sellers at fair market prices. The newly landed cotton is freely brought out, and the sales --.-- to-d 4 reach 5000 bales. On Saturday, the ii.arket was steady, but the trade were buying only in small quantities, just to supply their immediate wants; nevertheless, the sales amounted to 3 5 0 0 bales, all to the trad e . Th e 'market during the past week has shown a slight improve.. ment, and in most descriptions a rise may be quoted of ad. per lb. The computed stock of cotton in Liverpool, on the close of March, was 286,800 bales, against 489,800 bales in 1847 ; the imports had amounted to 2 42,210 bales, against 289,238 bales in 1847 ; and th e exports to 11;805 bales, against 20,940 bales in 1847.

In fact, the country is in such an anomalous state, that, notwithstanding the consumption is going on, the public have lost all confidence, and both buyers and sellers seem resolved to transact as little business as possible. In this town prices are steadily on the decline, and up to the time of writing no improvement had taken place in any branch of the trade.
