E!berpoot tanbarb, FRO3I OUR LONDON COR RESPONDENT. Monday Morning. THE venomous RUSSELL-COBDEN faction—which extends from its head the crooked-minded puny lordling who so ridiculously misrepresents the merchants and traders of the first commercial city in the world, to its tail, the im pudent, brawling cotton-spinner who caricatures the re presentation of the West Riding of Yorkshire—has been remarkably active during the week at its congenial voca tion. Its labour has been emphatically a labour of love. Nothing has been too hot, too heavy, or too dirty for its handling. Unsettling everything, and settling nothing ; obstructing, annoying, stinging, spitting poison, and sowing mischief, out of pure hatred and malice : such has been its constant employment, and to the performance of which it seems to be "to the manner born." If ever there was a base " organised hypocrisy," it assuredly is this odious faction, which, sanctimoniously pretending that it is panting to make its appeal to the country, has recourse to every vile and contemptible artifice to prevent that appeal from being made. Quousque tandem abutere Catalina patientid nostri ? The people, so often duped, are at length beginning to see through the wretched flimsy veil with which it audaciously attempts to cover its selfishness ; and this time the Chesham-place confederation of intriguing Whigs and restless Revolutionists will be caught in its own toil. In spite of all its numerous tricks and devices to postpone the hour, Parliament will be dissolved in June, and the general election will take place in July. Ah ! the faction has found out that it was a little too precipitate in crying out for a dissolution, and a little too sanguine in antici pating a result favourable to its pretensions and its paltry personal interests. It has had a report from its famous " man of business"—the notorious COPPOCK—and that report has been such as to throw the hereditary Whig officials, and the expectant place-holders and " pickers up of unconsidered trifles" into a state of dismay and despair. No one doubts the ingenuity of COPPOCK in finding the ways and means, or his unscrupulous application of them when found, in the purchase of the free and independent voices of the reformed constituencies of the Ur.ited Kingdom ; hut even the great genius of COPPOCK can, in this instance, accomplish little for his employers, so thoroughly are the people disgusted with their shameless spirit of cabal and their unparalleled political profligacy. The very utmost that COPPOCK can procure the RUSSELL and COBDEN faction—allowing him unlimited use of the money bags, and all the aids to be derived from the various kinds of liberal electoral machinery established throughout the length and breadth of the land—is, that they may not be in a much worse" condition in the new than in the old Parliament, so far as England and Scotland are concerned ; but as to Ireland, they must make up their minds to be there infallibly " licked." In plain, unso phisticated English, this means that Lord J. RUSSELL'S game is up ; that he has sold himself to the Manchester demon for nothing ; that the DERBY Ministry will gain by a dissolution all they want to make them a powerful Government—a majority in the House of Commons—and that instead of returning to office in six weeks or two months, as the late Ministers fondly flattered themselves when they retired from Downing-street, they will rusti cate in the shades of opposition for many a long day to come. There let them stick "'Till famine and the ague eat them up Were they not leagued with those that should be ours, We might have met them dareful in the field, And beat them"- intc good behaviour and an honest mode of life. But the good time is coming when we shall give them such a drubbing as they never dreamt of when they cried out so lustily for an appeal to the country. Poor JOHNNY RUSSELL ! He is truly to be pitied. I can't clearly make out what has come over him. Like Hamlet, he " has of late lost all his mirth," and has be come transmogrified into a sour, crabbed, cantankerous, venomous " shrivelled adder,"—as HENRY GRATTAN would say. In fact, his good genius has deserted him since Fox Mat-Lit was translated to the House of Lords. Fox MaxLE, to do him justice, is a merry. jovial soul, overflowing with fun and good nature ; and, when he was the constant companion of his chief, he drove the spleen out of him, and brought out all the amiability that was in him. But he is gone to " another place," and Lord JOHNNY has become morose, vicious, spiteful, and—worse than wicked, according to diplomatic morality,—unfortu nate. llehas taken to the companionship of that pragmatical coxcomb, " the Right lion. ROBERT VERNON SMITH," a thorough snob, and no very great Solon, who affects the juvenile dandy, and makes frantic efforts to sink the patro nymic SMITH, and adopt the aristocratic nameofVEßN - ox. Whether or not he exercises any malign influence on Lord JOHN, it is certain that, since he has been substituted for Fox MAULE, the noble lord's temper has sadly dete riorated, and his parliamentary conduct and manners very much changed for the worse. But if the factious proceedings of the past week have been extraordinary, those in store for the coming one are to be prodigious. The notice given by Mr. DISRAELI, of his intention to propose substitutes for the disfranchised boroughs of St. Alban's and Sudbury, has set the whole rookery of Reformers in commotion, and they threaten I don't know how many kinds of opposition. Strange that these creatures, who are continually 'making such a noise about reform, should make objection to it the moment that it is actually brought forward. Strange that they should vow and organise a furious opposition before they even know, or can guess at, what will be proposed. Yet so it is. Never was there more hurried rushing hither and thithz:r, more junketting, and closeting, and scheming, and manoeuvring., amongst the several joints of the Whig-revolutionary tail, than since this announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to fill up the blanks in the representation of the people left by his predecessors in office. Of course they want to have all the credit of reforming to themselves ; and to be able to shout at the hustings that Lord DERBY'S government is the enemy of all representation of the people. But they will find to their cost that Lord DERBY'S Government is a reforming one in the true sense, and that all it desires and all it will sanction is a bond fide representation of the intelligence, the respec tability, the property, and free will of the nation. It is not, I feel pretty sure, to the creation of a new metropo politan borough of the same stamp as that of Finsbury, Marylebone, &c. that Mr. DISRAELI will ask the House of Commons to consent. These new metropolitan boroughs and their representatives are the opprobrium of the house, and to add to them would be madness indeed. Such a pack of inefficient, brawling, intriguing, corrupt, and disreputable members are not to be found elsewhere, as these said men who sit for Finsbury, the Tower Ham let, and the other new metropolitan boroughs. Fancy one of them, Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON, who had been over in America to improve his manners and to learn democratic politeness, telling his constituents a day or two ago that " he had fought with the beasts at Ephesus, and was not afraid of the ' Painted Vultures' and the ' Green Dragons' of the Tower Hamlets. He would take his principles to the House of Commons; or, if not elected, he would take them home again as not suited for the market of the Tower Hamlets." The market of the Tower Hamlets ! There's a pretty commercial electioneering phrase for you. But, depend upon it, these said pure and simple republicans don't confine their ob servations upon the state of the markets to words only ; they understand well, and apply too, when they can, their favourite Free-trade maxim of " purchasing in the cheap est, and sellingin the dearest." If the immaculate GEORGE THOMPSON has not yet sold the seat which he so cheaply obtained, it is because no minister would give twopence halfpenny for it—that is, for the conceited empty-headed donkey who has possession of it. But enough of politics. Let us find a fresher subject, and a purer atmosphere—no very difficult search, I cal culate. Spring. genial and gentle, and warm, and exhilarating, has atlengthburstuponus,and theabominable east wind, which made man and beast shrink into half their natural size, and which racked the bones with rheumatics, has, after an unprecedented visit of two months' duration, gone to old Hookey Walker. The showers have not yet come, but we have the sunshine and the soft south wind, and an occasional puff of the refreshing west . The lovely spring was fairly inaugurated on Saturday at the great horticul turalPte at Chiswick. Wonderful to relate, the day was magnificent, and not a single drop fell from the clouds to flutter the gentle hearts and spoil the charming b onnets of the peerless beauties assembled to grace the first me tropolitan festival to the goddess of fruits and flowers. The geraniums, the roses, the heaths, the rhododendrons, the azalias exhibited were superb ; and the multitudes of green-house plants and new varieties exceeded all former Expositions. But the fruits were what took possession of my weak fancy. Gazing at them—at the immense bunches of purple grapes, with the autumnal bloom fresh upon them—at the Brobdignagian straw berries, large, lustrous, and luscious beyond the power of words to describe —at the splendid pears, divine melons, and fragrant pines ; and yet unable to pluck and taste, (for they are there to be admired, not eaten,) I fully felt the temptation to which Eve was subjected, and from my heart forgave her her little peccadillo. To behold such tempting beauties, to inhale their delightful fragrance, and yet to keep one's hands off them, is one of the strongest proofs of the high civilization of the eye that I know of ; although peradventure the salutary influence of the new police and of the police laws may have something to do with our self-restraint. Lords and ladies of high degree were there in great numbers, getting up a little stock of bloom to carry them through the fatiguing pleasures and hot atmospheres of the gorgeous salons of Belgravia and Tyburnia. Sooth to say, the artificial ladies of fashion, however glittering in light colours and bathed in delicious perfumes, do not look to advantage in close contrast with ►he nure creatures of nature's world; and even that mag nificent beauty, Madlle. de BRUNOW, and that attrnctive young belle, the Lady JANE ST. MAUR STANHOPE, and the ever-blooming Duchess of SUTHERLAND, lose half their glory when placed in contact with the roses and the peaches, the strawberries and the grapes from CHATS. WORTH and ARUNDEL. Among the festivities of the week, her MAJESTY'S state ball, on Thursday, takes the pas. It was truly a regal affair, and Buckingham Palace never received a nobler assembly of " fair women and brave men." The new decorations and arrangements of the town residence of the court were brought fully into use and view, and the coup d'ceil was grand in the extreme. The entrance-hall, the staircase, the long suite of state-rooms, were all crowded with the two thousand guests commanded to this royal entertainment ; and the dancing and conversation kept up before and after supper was as lively as due respect for the place and due deference to royalty would permit. Her MAJESTY was all affability and vivacity, and her spirit of welcome and gaiety communicated itself to all around. She opened the ball with the Duke of Buc- CLL'ECH ; and after the banquet, which outshone in magnificence what we read of in the Arabian tales, she indulged in divers graceful measures until the small hours of the morning interrupted the amusement, and sent this grand state ball to sleep with the things that were. Talking of festivi ties, the grand dinner to Ministers given on Saturday, at the Mansion-house, is deserving of par ticular notice. It was not only a splendid banquet. that reflected credit on the hospitable character of the Lord Mayor of London and the corporation, but it was one that is memorable as having elicited some declarations and opinions from the PRIME MINISTER of incalculable value. Lord DERBY took the occasion to give the lie direct to those absurd rumours so industriously propagated that he and his CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER were at log gerheads on account of the . right bon. gentleman's budget speech. Lord DERBY not only passed a eulogy on Mr. DISRAELI'S talents, but commended in the highest terms the very budget speech referred to, and made it absolutely manifest that he and his CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCIIE• QuErt are perfectly d'accord in their financial sentiments and determination. The noble lord likewise took occasion to declare that the foreign policy of his government is and will be an entire and absolute non-interference with the internal affairs of all other countries ; and that they will leave no efforts unexhausted, should the occasion arise, to prevent, by frendly exertion and friendly expostulation, any disturbance, in any quarter of the world, of the peace which prevails at this moment. These assurances are of great importance, and must put an end to the silly stories and calumnious reports that are set afloat by interested and scheming parties. The WAGNER problem is not yet solved. For two mor tal days counsel have been talking, and for another day, at least, counsel will yet talk, ere the Vice-Chancellor will be able to say yes or no—whether the German warbler shall sing at Her Majesty's Theatre, or at the Royal Italian Opera House, or shall " go back to the place from whence she came," without giving a note of music, or taking the English bank notes in return, which she prizes so highly.

Gd. per quarter, have been sold; also, 265 bales Jute, at Xll 10s. to £l2 15s. per ton, for middling to fair. _ _ GRAIN AND FL - OUR.—The market was dull on Saturday and yesterday. No change in price, how ever, can be noted ; but the fine rain which fell on Sunday night has produced a downward feeling. COUNCIL MEETING, YESTERDAY. An adjourned meeting of the council was held in the council chamber yesterday. The following members were present :—His worship the Mayor, Messrs. C. Turner, J. Stewart, J. Parker, J. H. Tyrer, J. Lawrence. J. Bram ley-Moore, Woodruff, Jeffreys. W. Bennett, J. Turner, H. Banner, Sir J. lent, A. F. Jones, Fernihough, Beck with, Lanesdale, Holden, M'Guffie, H. Hornby, John Holmes. Wood, Johnson, T. Lloyd, Wagstaffe, Avison, Aked, Tobin, Chimer, J. Nicholson, Royden, Moly neux, Bradley, R. Houghton, W. Horsfall, Gardner, Ro gers, Procter, Toulmin, Piston, Gladstone, and Thomson. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of the Finance Committee comprised a recommendation to grant, subject to the approval of the Lords of the Treasury, a piece of land in Myrtle-street to Mr. Harmood Banner, on condition that he build a church thereon within three years, and that sufficient accommo dation be at all times reserved in the church gratuitously for the use of the children, teachers, and others connected with the Female Orphan Asylum and Orphan Boys' Asylum ; the plans and elevation of the church to be subject to the approval of the Council. They also ex pressed the determination of the committee to enforce the contract entered into between Mr. T. Wilson, shipbuilder, and the Councl. Mr. 11. lloasnr rose to move the confirmation of these proceedings. In doing so he alluded in compli mentary terms to the liberality of Mr. 11. Banner, who had undertaken to erect a church if the site were given by the Council. This would require about 2,140 square yards, which, with the former grant of the site of the asylum with which Mr. Banner was connected, amounted to upwards of 8,000 square yards, which the Council would have contributed to the purposes of the charity. But, at the same time, it must be borne in mind that many of the objects received into the Orphan Asylum would, were there no such institution, become burdensome to the inhabitants, as they would no doubt be inmates of our workhouses, hospitals, and prisons. Mr. J. HoLmF.s seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimous:y. Mr. H. BANNER could not suffer the proceedings to he confirmed without saying a few words on the matter. He acknowledged the observations applied to himself, which had been made by Mr. Hornby, and quite agreed with him that in supporting the resolution referred to, they were doing good to generations yet to come, on the prin ciple that prevention is better than cure. (Hear, hear.) WATCH COMMITTEE.-THE JOUGHIN CASE. The proceedings having been read, the MAYOR drew the attention of the council to the report of the committee to whom the resolution of the magistrates of the 20th of December last was referred. This report, it will be re membered, had reference to the Joughin case. Mr. Toor thought it desirable that the reading of this report should be postponed, as he understood it was in tended that it should be printed. Mr. 13ENNETT objected to the report being printed, on the ground of its great expense. Mr. THOMSON inquired of the Town-clerk what the probable expense of printing the report would be. The TOWN-CLERK said it was not intended to print the evidence. The report itself was very voluminous, and would cost probably £5O. After some observations from Mr. C. Turner, Mr. Par ker, and other members, it was stated that the report was already in the printer's hands. Mr. TOBIN explaini•d that in taking that step he had consulted with the Town.clerk, and pointed to a prece dent in justification of the course he had taken as chair men of the Watch Committee. The Watch Committee's proceedings were consequently confirmed, with the understanding that the report re ferred to was to be printed. The proceedings of the CHURCH EXPENDITURE. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TITESDA 'V, MAY 11, 185/. Mr. MOLYNRttk went into the subject in detail, and showed that in fact the matter had been settled six or eight years ago ; and after consulting the most eminent doctors of music, the north end had been fixed on as the most proper place for the organ. He admitted that Mr. Horner's design was very pretty ; but as the space left for the organ was too small for the purpose, it was useless. Mr. J. BRAMLEY-MOORE hoped Mr. Bennett would see the propriety of withdrawing the motion. Mr. J. TURNER also shewed the necessity of confirming the report. The question was really whether they were to have an organ or not. It was absurd now to alter the arrangement decided on already. Mr. Cockerill had been over and over again consulted, and no other con clusion could be come to than that the organ must neces sarily occupy the north end, which it must be remembered the late Mr. Elmes, the talented architect, had intended to assign for that purpose. By this course the very beau tiful vista would be preserved.—The proceedings were at length confirmed, Mr. Bennett having abstained from pressing his motion to refer the matter. The MAYOR drew the attention of the Council to a letter received by him from the Recorder of the borough, requesting the use of the Crown Court in the new law courts during the sessions, and assigning, as a reason, the Inconvenience and unwholesome atmosphere of the old Crown Court when crowded. Mr. JAMES PARKER moved that the letter be referred to the committee. Mr. COOPER held the same view ; and Mr. TURNER showed that the committee had every wish to oblige the Recorder, but his request would impede the operations of the works in progress at the present time. Mr. FERNITIOUGH supported the application. Mr. ARTHUR HENDERSON then proposed an amend ment, to the effect that the request be complied with. It was seconded by Mr. FERNIIIOUGH. On a division, the amendment was carried by 24 to 6. MARKETS. The proceedings of the Markets' Committee were read and approved, as were those of the Education Committee. GAOL AND HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The proceedings of this committee were read. The Town-Clerk read, in connection with these proceedings, a presentment of the grand jury which was made at the quarter sessions on the sth of April. It showed that more than half the prisoners convicted were 20 years old and under, and that many of these were convictions for the second or third time. The grand jury re commended that either the plan proposed by the late Mr. Rushton for a juvenile reformatory, or some similar one, should be adopted by the Council. The Town-Clerk informed the Council that the subject was about to be brought before the House of Commons in reference to the entire country—Referred. The Town- Clerk also stated, in reference to the exposure of articles for sale at shop-doors, that the law was in a material point altered : formerly it was an infringement of the local act ; but, by the change eff ec t e d by w h a t was ca ll e d the mode bills, the - offence was only recognised when the goods so placed caused an obstruction, which did not at all meet the requirements of the case, as it was quite pos sible that goods might he so exposed as to be a means of temptation to acts of theft, and yet not be any obstruction in the sense of the art of parliament. TOWN-HALL ESTABLISHMENT. The proceedings of this committee were read and ap proved. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. The proceedings of the Health Committee having been read, Mr. LANGSDALE moved their adoption, and in doing so drew attention to the economy which the present com mittee had practised. Under the old Highway Board the rate used to be 15d. The rat• laid by that committee for the current year was only ls., last year it was only 10d., and the year before 11d. In speaking of the paving ex penses, he admitted they had been heavy in Renshaw street, where £9OO had been expended in laying down the square sets, but in the end this would prove a saving, as the same street when Macadamised cost £lOO a-year. They intended to pave South Castle-street, Great Orford street, and Pembroke-place in a similar manner. Mr. CIIALMER seconded the resolution. Mr. Parker, Mr. Fernihough, Mr. Cooper, and Mr. Beckwith made some remarks, after which Mr. GREGSON observed that the square sets were very dangerous, and he trusted that the principal streets would still be Macadamised ; and as to the economy of the question, even according to the chairman's own showing, there was none ; for £9OO had been expended on the street in question, and it cost £lOO a-year before; there fore, taking the capital at 10 per cent. there had been little or no saving. Mr. PICTON advised the committee, if they purposed going to parliament for a bill, to lose no time in preparing it. Mr. T. LLOYD contended that the square sets for paving were a great improvement over the Macadam method in an economical point of view ; and if they were not wider than 31 inches, no danger would result from their use. The proceedings were approved • and Mr. John Ste war t and Mr. John Bigham were added to the committee by a resolution of the Council. GARDENS COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read and confirmed. brought to bear on the pipes in the way of pumping could reduce the water below six feet ? Mr. LANGSDALE replied that it had been brought to the level. Mr. Fr.rtxtuouGH made an elaborate speech in vindi cation of the adherents to the home supply. He referred to an opinion given by Mr. Stevenson, that the water supply was solely from the rainfall ; hut he asked, if, after our recent experience, any one would contend that we depended for our supply from the fall of rain on a particular area ? Mr. JAMES lIOLME observed that time proved all things, and it would prove who were right on the present question. If there were an apparent good supply of water now, they would find that all the private wells were being drained for the supply. The proceedings were approved. LIBRARY AND MUSEUM COMMITTEE. Mr. PICTON, in moving the adoption of the report of this committee, observed that the building intended for the reception of the Derby Museum was progressing favourably, It would be necessary to erect a gallery for the receptio❑ of the Harrowby collection of books, which would cost about £BO, but the gallery would be made available for the permanent building. Mr. AVISON seconded the motion, which was carried after a slight opposition. The reports of the Coach and Car and the Baths Com mittees were then confirmed. Mr. LANGSDALE brought a charge of drunkenness against Mr. Clarke, the superintendent of the Corn wallis-street baths. Mr. WAGSTAFFE and Mr. FERNIHOUGH defended the The Coroner's account, amounting to £1,284, was p3ssed ; and, after some routine business, the Council se parated at twenty minutes before four o'clock. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. MONDAY EVENING, MAY 10. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY.—It is generally rumoured that the troops will be forbidden to cry " Vivo le Empereur" on Monday. Above 120,000 strangers hare arrived. Lodg ings are extremely scarce and exorbitantly dear, and pro visions have more than doubled in price. The operatives in several manufactories have intimated their intention of working on Monday, contrary to their usual custom, no doubt as a silent protest against any cries in favour of the empire which may be heard from the troops or people. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING, SIX O'CLOCK.—The file has pased off with perfect order. No imperial manifes tation. BERLIN, MAY 7TH.—The hostile robs of the chambers to the government will, it is expected, lead to a proroga tion of the former. Accounts of the Leipsic fair, dated May sth, says, busi ness progressed in the same manner as at the commence ment. Leather was Ito 2 rixdollars per cent. cheaper. LONDON. The Standard states that a large amount of British gold coin has been received from Paris this morning in consequence of the scarcity of paper on London in the French capital. The &uric paper aays the market for public securities has, on the whole, shown more firmness this morning; the idea that Louis Napoleon will seize the occasion of the tiles to proclaim the empire having diminished very materially. AIONDXY NIGHT. 'NOTWITHSTANDING the occurrence of a holiday this week—for Chester Cup day is emphatically one— there has been a large business done in our leading markets, gen:rally at advanced prices. SUGAR, up to Friday last, is quoted at an advance of from 6d. to ls. per cwt. over last week's rates, with a very good demand for all descriptions. For COFFEE, the improved demand continues, and prices tend upwards. With respect to TEA, however, we have little that is satisfactory to report this week. The speculative demand which prevailed last week, and was probably caused in part by some undefined no tion prevailing as to the probability of a reduction of the duty, has ceased ; and prices of most des cription have a downward tendency. DRYSAL TEIIIES are generally firm in price, with a good consumptive demand. MONEY continues abundant, and discounts low. It will be seen from the usual return subjoined, that the bullion still flows into the Bank coffers, the increase this week being £313,730, and the total stock £19,901,400. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the Ist of May gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Public deposits .. £3,194,817 ; Increase £201,444 Other deposits .. 11,365,920; Decrease 106,678 Rest .. 3,102,037; Increase 3,927 , On the other side of the account — Government securities £13,338,023; Increase £2,244 Other securities.. .. 11,022,332 ; Increase 22,713 Notes unemployed .. 11,585,615 ; Increase 85,310 The amount of notes in circulation is £21,832,160, being an increase of £233,315 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £19,901,400, show ing an increase of £313,730 when compared with the precedin T return. OUT SHARE MARKET has again been extremely quiet all week. The races at Chester having taken away most of the speculative operators, the busi ness has been confined to transactions made for investment. Stock continues very scarce, and it is said that some bear accounts have been opened in anticipation of disturbances in Paris to-day, to sup ply which no stock comes forward. In case, there fore, everything passes off quietly (which there is every reason to expect), a considerable advance may be looked for. We annex this day's quota tions :—London quarters, 51 p ; Midland stock, 70i 1; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 73i- ; Do. fifths, 5 13-16 d ; Do. £2O F shares, d ; Do. West-Riding fifths, 4 1-16 d; East Lanchashire pref. quarters, 9 t +; Eastern Counties, 9 3-16; Old Dovers, 211; Chester and Birkenhead, 13}; York and North Midland, 253:; Caledonian, 201; North Staffordshire, 7+ d ; Oswestry and Chester, 111; Dutch Rhenish, 3+ d. COTTON.—We have had large arrivals of this raw material, amounting up to the publication of the Weekly Circular of Friday, to 144,855 bales. Yet the demand has met the import; the sales having been 88,180 bales, at an advance of id. per lb. on American descriptions,i-d. to id. on Egyptian, and Id. on the common, and 2d. on the finer kinds of Sea Island. Of the total sales reported, 23,650 were for speculation, and 11,190 for export. The sales on Friday were 10,000 bags, of which specu lators and exporters took 3,000; on Saturday they were 8,000 bags, 4,000 of which were for specula tion and export. The market closed quieter. On Sunday morning we had further advices from the United States, by the arrival of the royal mail steamer America, bringing accounts of a rise of Id. on better kinds, and id. to Id. on the lower, with continued large arrivals at the ports. The general tone of the reports given of the crop, which the New York Courier and Enquirer still estimates as likely to be under 3,000,000 bales, and the rumours of freshets and frosts, convey the idea that consumers in this country will have to pay higher prices for that portion which remains to be sent forward. This is almost rendered a certainty by the abun dance of monetary facilities in America, to which we attach far more importance than to alleged frosts. Under ordinary circumstances, Cotton must have come here to provide for the coming due dividends upon American stocks held in Great Britain and Europe. The state of the Exchanges, however, and the quantity of disposable specie, renders it probable that this commodity will be made the chief remit tance. The impression cawsed by the arrival of the America has been to produce to-day a very strong market. 15,000 bales have been sold at rather stiffer prices, speculators and exporters taking 7,500. The following were the prices of the three descrip tions of American fair, as quoted in Friday's Circular : 1852. 1851. 51,21. .... 61,d. per lb. New Orleans ........ 51d. • • 6 4c1• Mobile.. Uplands .. Stocks Import since Ist Jan.. 814,388 ~.. 658,700 . „ Taken b y t h e tra d e .. 672,690 .... 4/ . 9,810 WooL.—There was rather less doing in foreign Wool last week, owing principally to the poor as sortment there is offering by private sale ; but as it appears to be the prevailing opinion that we shall not see wools lower for some time to come, holders are firm at former prices. In Scotch there is no thing particula r to notice. Since the p ub lication of :the w ee kly p ro d uce cir cular, on Friday, our market for SUGAR has opened with increased activity, and, in a ddi t i on to t h e busi ness done with the grocers and refiners, some considerable purchases have been made on specula- DOCK COMAIITTEE were read next, when Mr. CnALNIErt asked the Chairman whether he was to understand that the committee had refused to assign any land for the purpose of erecting the necessary works for pumping salt water, in order to supply the different bath establishments. Mr. TURNER explained that the engineer of the baths had conferred with the dock surveyor on the subject, but as the latter represented that the views of the baths corn. mittee appeared to be extremely crude, they (the dock committee) had not assigned any particular site. Mr. HORNBY observed, that it had been the course of the council, in order to serve the dock committee, not only to apportion to them such land as they required, but actually to reserve land in anticipation of their wants, and he thought this should be borne in mind by the dock com mittee, now that they were applied to by the baths com mittee. They ought to remember that they had appro priated the whole seaboard, (hear, hear,) and in return something was due from them to the inhabitants. Mr. BENNETT and others made observations on the im portance of the question in a sanatory point of view, to which Mr. TTTRNER replied that the dock committee were willing to do anything to meet the wishes of the baths' committee, short of allocating the dock frontage. He was sure the committee would not be justified in such a course, for considering the extraordinary extension which had taken place during the last forty or fifty years of the port, it was quite impossible for any one to say what might result in a few more years. Under these circum stances, the dock committee would be erring to apportion a permanent site to the front of the river, which would perhaps have to be re-purchased at no very distant day. Mr. CHALMER objected that everything should be sacri ficed to the mercantile interest, and so little to the sana tory requirements of the town, which he considered were of paramount importance. Ho should oppose the ceding of the site of the pierhead baths until they had an equi valent. Mr. WAGSTAFFE, the chairman of the baths committee, stated that when he and his colleagues entered upon their duties, it was understood that a site near the Rimrose Hotel, Bootle, had been assigned to them ; and their engineer actually proceeded with the necessary borings, when they were apprised all at once that the land did not belong to the Dock Trust at all. (A. laugh.) In answer to a question from Mr. M'GUFFIE, it was stated that the Pierhead Baths had not been sold. The proceedings were then confirmed. ST. GEORGE'S-HALL. Mr. J. TURNER moved, and Mr. AvisoN seconded the confirmation of the proceedings of the Law Courts Com mittee. Before the resolution was put, Mr. W. BENNETT said that there was a plan on the table of the organ intended for St. George's Hall, and its proposed position in that edifice. He regretted that a sufficient number had not been prepared to allow more members to have seen it. He described the organ as being ugly and completely spoiling the architectural effect of the interior of the beautiful building in which it was placed. He said the whole cost of this organ would be £9,000, a most enormous sum. He must hope that the proceeding would be referred. Mr. J. STEWART agreed with Mr. Bennett so far as the objection to the intended position of the organ and its de teriorating effects on the hall went, but he was at a loss to know what the Council was to do. He referred to an interview he had with Mr. Cockerell, in which that gen tleman concurred with him as to the truth of this, but then it had already been agreed by the committee that the proposed plan was the only one practicable. (Hear, bear.) Mr. HORNEY thought that it was competent to that Council to reverse the resolution of the committee, if such a course were desirable. If it were true that the organ might be reduced in size so as to effect a saving of £2,000 or £3,000, and at the same time accord more with the design of the building, it would be expedient to make such alteration. Mr. AvisoN referred the Council to a resolution passed on the 29th of March, by which the measures were adopt.. ed which led to the arrangement in question. He did not think with Mr. Bennett that, when the organ was erected, the architectural effect would be deteriorated. Besides, they must never forget the original intention was to build a music hall. Mr. BANNER observed that every one appeared to agree that the plan was objectionable ; even Mr. Cockerell, its designer, only pretended that it was the least objection able. It was a question whether there was any necessity for such a large place as a music hall ; they had the Philharmonic-hall already. Mr. THOMSON observed that the contract had been entered into with the organ builder, and the council would have to pay for it, whether they had it or not. Mr. PICTON felt very sorry that the chairman of the law courts committee was not present, but as he was not he (Mr. Picton) would offer one or two remarks. The committee had been placed in a very critical position. They had endeavoured to carry out the instructions of the Council, but in doing so they had incurred very great opposition. The matter had been discussed over and over again ; but it seemed to be forgotten that the Hall was designed to be a music hall, where festivals and cheap popular musical assemblies were to take place. If it had not been so intended, did they think £200,000 would have been granted to St. G. orge's-hall ? In fact, it had been held out as a boon to the inhabitants, that a por tion of this edifice should be appropriated for their enter tainment. It Ras quite true they bad the Philharmonic (Mr. BRANILEY-MOORS : And we pay for it) hall, for the aristocracy ; but what was wanted was something of the kind for the poorer inhabitants. A good deal had been said about the vista of the hall. It ought to be remem bered that it never was intended in the original design ; it was an after-thought of the architect. Mr. Picton then referred, in a very complimentary manner, to a design by Mr. C. Horner, who proposed to place the organ so that the vista would be preserved. Mr. PARKER showed that both Mr. Cockerell the archi tect, and Mr. Willis, the organ-builder, did all they could to preserve the vista; they found there was no way of having the organ fixed but the one proposed by the present plan. The hall was intended for a music hall, and they must submit to the organ being placed v‘hera alone it could be efficient. The proceedings of this committee having been read, Mr. BANNER rose, and said be had been looking round the room for the chairman to move the adoption of the re port; but as he was not present, he (Mr. B.) would propose its adoption. He then proposed a motion recommending the whole of the pews in the gallery of St. George's Church to be appropriated as free sittings for the poor of the district. He went on to state the circumstances of St. George's Church. It was a source of considerable expense to the council, the pew rents scarcely paying the expenses of the choir. They had a right to expect some thing in return for the outlay, and he called on the coun cil to regard their profit as obtained by throwing open the galleries to the poor of the district. It was proposed to accommodate 340 persons at an outlay of £5O. He then showed that there were no free sittings in the district. It was true there were churches in the neighbourhood which, it might be said, were not well attended, but that was not a reason for sending people from another district ; besides, St. Thomas's was a proprietary church. There was one family, if he might so term them, that would be much benefited by the measure—the inmates of the Sailors' Home. Mr. JEFFRIES seconded the motion. Mr. T. LLOYD said, the Sailors' Home was situated in St. Thomas's district, in which church there was ample room for all the sailors. Mr. J. TURNER opposed the motion, on the ground that the galleries were well filled at present by respectable persons, such as shopmen and clerks, who, in his opinion, were quite as much entitled to church accommodation gratuitously as the very poor : lie understood, too, that the Rev. Mr. Monk, the incumbent, was opposed to the proposition. Two-thirds of the poor in the district, in fact, would be found to be Roman Catholics. Mr. Monk was then engaged in making a visitation of the district ; he should, therefore, propose that the motion be post poned for one month. _ _ Mr. A. HENDERSON said he came there for the pur pose of voting for the motion, but, from what he had heard, he should second the amendment. After some other members had made remarks, pro and con, Mr. BANNER replied. He admitted that the Roman Catholics were numerous in the district, but that was not a reason for denying accommodation to the Protestant minority. He contended that St. Thomas's was not in the district in which the Sailors' Home was situated, and that the free seats, moreover, were few. He also ad mitted that Mr. Monk had not promoted the change, but surely they were not to desist on account of the coolness of Mr. Monk ! Mr. J. TURNER thought Mr. Banner had made use of an improper expression in referring to Mr. Monk, who was a much respected clergyman. Mr. BANNER also testified to the excellenee of Mr. Monk, with whom he was likewise acquainted, but thought he was right in attributing coolness to him in the matter. Mr. Turner's amendment was finally carried by 20 to 16. WATER COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read, in the course of which it appeared that the quantity of water pumped for the use of the town in the week ending April 3, was 31.835,432 gallons. Mr. PARKER rose to congratulate the water committee. He was sorry the chairman was not present, but (turning to Mr. Cooper) he doubted not the worthy deputy would appreciate his remarks. (Laughter.) The supply of water was then greater than it had ever been before— (hear)—the pipes were full to high pressure, and there was enough to supply their neighbours. He did not mean to say what this proved, yet he asked what it did prove. (Hear.) But after praising he should slightly blame the committee. Mr. Parker then stated that he was riding out in the neighbourhood of Kensington the other day, and was attracted to the operations in progress for laying down the pipes. He found that in a length of two miles thirteen pipes were damaged merely in the operation of fixing, and required to be cut and re-fixed by means of a collar. Mr. BENNETT asked Mr. Quick to read a letter which had been received by Mr. Hawksley, in reference to the subject of these injured pipes. The letter was dated 16th April, 1852. The writer says, that in laying down such pipes, many might be expected to be found damaged, but he thought the number stated as so damaged was greater than it should be, and the contractor would he required to make a deduction. Mr. Bennett proceeded to comment in strong terms on the flippant style of the letter on so serious a subject. If the breakage was so serious in the mere process of laying the pipes in the earth, what would it be when they were subjected to the pressure of the water. He was positively unable to give expression to his feelings on the subject. It was one of the greatest errors that ever Liverpool fell into. And then they were told they could recover from contractors, some of whom were insolvent. Mr. PicTos said, at the risk of being charged with relating a twice-told tale, he would make a few remarks with reference to the yield of the wells. According to the theory of philosophers, they had been told over and over again that a drought of a few weeks, not to say months, would leave them without water ; but what had been the case ? Tney had had a continuance of dry weather never before experienced—(cries of " Oh, yes") ;—he repeated that no one ever remembered so long a continuance of dry weather, yet the yield of water had increased. What ever demand had been madeon the wells, the yield had been commensurate, and they had actually been supplying their neighbours as well as themselves from these wells. In allusion to the Rivington scheme, he said he feared it would be found that they had been forsaking the foun tains beneath their feet, to rely on broken cisterns. They had Lad the first sample of the consequences of their folly in the broken pipes spoken of, and he trembled to think of the probable consequences of that scheme. Mr. llonNwe confessed he could not see the use of discussing this question. It were easy to reply to the remarks which had been made, but what could the dis cussion end in. There was no motion on the subject before th e C o uncil. H e con t en d e d th a t th e Rivington scheme was rendered imperative by the increase in the population, and denied that the late drought had proved that the works were more productive than Mr. Hawkesley had allowed.—Mr. Langsdale stated that the water stood at an elevation of 6 feet 3 inches in the pipes at Green lane at that moment, and that twelve months ago it was 23 feet deep. Mr. I.le.cicwrrii asked if all the force that could be HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. Their lordships met at five o'clock. The Masters in Chancery 13111 was read a second time, and referred to a select committee. Lord REDESDALE moved for the production of copies of writs used for summoning and prorogation of the con vocation of the clergy in the province of York. The mo tion, after a long discussion, was agreed to. The Bishop of LONDON signified his intenti'm of in troducing, early in next parliament, a bill providing that all questions of false doctrine should be referred to bishops for their consideration previous to a decision thereon by the Privy Council, and expressed his earnest hope that it would receive the favourable consideration of her Majesty's government. _ _ The Earl of DERBY expressed his approbation of the pro posed regulation, considering that the opinion of the bishops must be most valuable upon such questions. The Burghs (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. Adjourned at five minutes to seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY. The house met at four o'clock. Mr. Butt took the oaths and his seat for Harwich, in place of the Solicitor-General. The Aberdeen Boys' and Girls' Hospital Bill, and Dumfries and Maxwelltown Water Works Bill, were seve rally read a third time and passed. In reply to a question from Sir R. INGLIS, Sir J. PAKINGTON said the anxious consideration of her Ma jesty's government would undoubtedly be given in the next session to the distress which existed in the West Indian colonies ; but he could not undertake to say whether any measures would be introduced upon the subject. Air. WALPOLE, in answer to a question from Lord J. Russell, said the report of the University of Oxford would be laid before the house in a few days. Mr. lionsmAN gave notice, that to-morrow he would put a question to the government, as to the result of the inquiry into the case of the Rev. Mr. Bennett, and the parish of Frome. The house went into committee upon the Militia Bill, pro forma; and leave was granted to sit again, in order to enable government to bring on a motion relative to the disposal of the four vacant seats. APPROPRIATION OF THE VACANT SEATS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Bien moved for leave to bring in a bill to appropriate the four seats now vacant by the disfranchisement of Sudbury and St. Albans. He commenced by stating he had all along, since the accession to office of the present ministry, held that, before the dissolution, measures would be proposed to make up the constitutional number of representatives of that house. He contended that it was the duty of govern ment to see that this number was complete; and he declared that in doing so they had no wish to postpone or Procrastinate the dissolution. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to examine the claims put forth on behalf of the learned societies of London, the London University. and the Inns of Court. The Government, after due de liberation, had come to the conclusion, that those bodies did not contain the elements of a popular constituency. He proposed, as a preferable scheme, to assign two of the members to the West Riding of Yorkshire, and the re maining two to South Lancashire. In the former case the division should be into the Northern Division, with 17,965 electors, and the Southern Division, with 18,755. In the latter case, the natural division would be Salford, in which the number of electors was about one thousand two hundred, and West Derby, in which it was 9500. Mr. Disraeli concluded by assuring the house that, in making these proposals, Government was actuated only by a high sense of public duty. Mr. GLADSTONE argued that under the existing circum stances it was impolitic to take up and discuss so impor tant a subject. He should therefore meet the Ministerial proposition, not by a negative, but by moving that the house should pass to the orders of the day. It was the un derstanding that none but urgent business should be brought forward, and this was certainly not a measure of that character. No member rising to prolong the discussion, the house divided, when the numbers for Mr. Gladstone's amend• ment were, 234 ; against it, 148 ; majority against Minis ters, 86. The house then resumed the consideration of the Militia Bill in committee. Upon the question that clause seven stand part of the bill, Mr. WAKLEY moved, as an amendment, that the chairman report progress. A lengthened discussion took place, Mr. IlumE, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. Fox, and other members, insisting that, after their defeat this evening, the prospect of an early dissolution, and in the absence of any apprehension of immediate danger, Government ought to postpone the measure until after an appeal had been made to the people. Upon a division the amendment was negatived by 15G to 85. The committee shortly afterwards divided upon the principal question, which was affirmed by 169 to 82. The Bth clause, after considerable discussion, and the insertion of some verbal amendments, was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Friday. The other orders were dispatched, and the house ad. journed at half-past twelve. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT-MONDAY. LUMLEY V. WAGNER.-Mr. Heslop Clarke on behalf of Lumley, and Mr. Bethell in reply on behalf of Wagner and Gye, having concluded their arguments, the Vice- Chancellor gave judgment. He said, in a case which had created sensation of no ordinary interest, it was obvious the Court could not make an order dissolving the injunc tion, which would he settling the whole question between the parties. The Court could not but feel that all the materials were not before it ; the affidavits clearly dis closed that. It was said that the contract was not binding, there being no authority to enter into it. It was also said that the plaintiff had failed in his part of the contract ; and next it was stated that the bill pro ceeded on misstatements. Ho (the Vice-Chancellor) then went at length through the facts of the case, and concluded as follows : He did not think that the mere non-tender of the money, before the period agreed upon, justified the Wagners entering into the agreement with Mr. Gye, or entering into the protest of the 6th of April with respect to the misstatement alleged to be contained in the bill. He did not tliink they were such as ought to deprive Mr. Lumley of his right, if a b reac h o f the agree ment had taken place, and which he was of opinion was clearly the case; and he, therefor e , th ought the case a p r oper one for an injunction, and that an action might be maintained at law, and he exp resse d t h at opinion at the time of granting the injunction, Following the cases of Morris and Coleman, and the decision of Lords Eldon and Cottenham, he was of opi n i on t h at he ought to con tinue the injunction ; and th ere f ore the motion to dissolve theinjunction, obtained by Mr. Bethell, must be dis charged. Mr. Bacon asked if it would be with costs ? The Vice-Chancellor replied, that in a case like this the costs must be costs in the cause. lle did not wish to impose an action, but if neither party wished it, he would direct the plaintiff to undertake an action. The motion to dissolve the injunction was discharged without terms. It was stated that the defendants would appeal. - .... +~c~rr~ TATTERSALL'S BETTIN'fa.
