TO CORRESPONDENTS, It is strange, that in the present day "An apologist" can ex pect us to palm on the credulity of the public such-fallacies as are many of those with which his letter abounds. Take one point,—how can he presume to deny that popery teaches the value of prayers to the Virgin. Is there not blazoned over the door of the convent in this town, " Mater miseri eordke ora p Nobis." The letter of An enemy of misrepresentation," is quite unfit for publication, and the insertion of it in a newspaper would not be likely to accomplish the writer's object. The letter of " Senex," and much other original matter have been crowded out by the length of several important local reports. "Sentinel" wishes to know when the augmentation in the number of master coopers at the Albert Dock took place, as it is stated that thirty of them recently dined together; and our correspondent says he always understood that there was only one master cooper employed there. "Sentinel" ought, however, to have given us his name, and we might thin have inserted his letfer ZEbt Etherpool &tanbarb. Yearly Subscription : Advance, 158. On Credit, 17s. TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 11, 1848 A highly valuable lesson, and practically instruc tive may be drawn from the doings of Romanism M Ireland, under the light thrown upon them by the recent correspondence between the two English Roman Catholic peers—Lords Arundel and Shrews bury—and the Popish archbishop, Dr. M'Hale. The genius of Romanism is strikingly illustrated : that secret of its influence and strength is brought out into a bold relief, viz., its wonderful and reck less power of adapting itself at once to the circum stances by which it happens to be surrounded ; and the undeviating fidelity likewise, and untiring per severance with which, amidst all its changes and subterfuges, it steadily holds to its great purpose, of humbling every rival, removing every obstacle that stands in the way of the universal• despotism at which it aims. It would be palpably impolitic for the Church of Rome in this country to assume, as yet, at least, the same haughty defiance, or to exhibit the same bold front, that she has held forth for so many years back with impunity and with success in Ireland. Romanism, therefore, as repre sented in England, seems not incompatible with the high and honourable feeling that breathes through the letters of her noble champions. That is the very point to which we would be glad to see atten tion directed. The object of each noble lord, in his written correspondence, is to vindicate the system at the expense of the individuals, such as M'Hale, Slattery, Laffan, and M'Dermott ; whereas the root of the matter lies really in this, that the individuals just named are but the genuine offspring, the legi timate exponents of Romanism as taught at May nooth. _ Lord Shrewsbury has argued well, and esta blished clearly the relationship of cause and effect between the Monday sermon of Father M`Dermott and the Tuesday murder of Major Mahon. The priest denounced him, it is still confidently affirm ed, on All Saints' Day, and the benevolent land lord was barbarously murdered the day after. Does Lord Shrewsbury forget that, in denounc ing Major Mahon, Priest M`Dermott only car riedinto effect what was taught him in May nooth, and what is still taught from the well-known " secunda secundx" of their angelic Dr. Thomas Aquinuas ? And the Romish peasant, in refusing rent to an heretical landlord, and keeping forcible possession of his property, is only acting according to the accredited teaching of his church, on the subject of what +l , 'eve is their re taught to beli ,uch may lawful vered to )erhaps their boc eny that there may be among among personal worth that no amount ofpers( upon as proc which the b( Whatever it le crushing tyranny with sts of Rome are be the feeling - orcea of the is ; and whenever t of "the church" are con- cerned, must b ready, though perhaps reluctant, inless he be altogether abettor of deeds from w recoils.

The stocks on hand are admitted to be very light. The reduction which has taken place in freights will, however, have the effect of adding largely to the supply, unless, as is believed, the result of last year's shipments tends to deter the lumberers from carrying on operations upon their accustomed scale. Prices are expected to run low for the coming year, and, indeed, until money is made permanently cheaper. We come next to the FOREIGN PROVISION TRADE.—From the cir cular of Messrs. Gardner and Co, we extract the following tables, exhibiting the results of the five years since the trade has been thrown open : IMPORTS FROM IST JANUARY TO 31ST DECEMBER ACON CHEESI, Tcs. I 13r1s.

Gardner remark, with respect to bacon, which it will he observed is a new article of import, that whilst a large portion of the eastern cure was of fine quality, the western cure has been almost entirely of an inferior quality, roughly cut, and not well cured. Many of the cargoes which have been shipped along with corn, have arrived out of con dition ; and the trade in this description has, in consequence, been a losing one to all parties. The stock on hand, at present, is chiefly of western cure. Messrs. Badenach and Co., in their circular, give a similar report of the trade, and estimate the stock of beef on hand at 2500 tierces, against 2750 tierces same period in 1846, and 3600 tierces in December, 1845. These gentlemen complain of a practice on the part of the American curers, by which much trouble has been experienced, of giving short weight, the tierces having been, in nearly every instance, from 10 lbs. to 15 lbs., and in some cases 25 lbs., short of the proper weight, 304 lbs. WooL.—The woollen trade has shared fully in the depression which has been the characteristic of the past year ; ancrthe closing rates are from 5 to 25 per cent. below those which were current at the end of 1846. " The fall—we quote from the an nual circular of Messrs. Hughes and Ronald— most evident in Australian, Cape of Good Hope, Russian, Merino, and Buenos Ayres wools, which is partly attributable to theundue quantities brought at one time on the market, at the London public sales. In domestic and some of the useful quali ties of low Foreign, as East India and Egyptian, the fall is less marked, and will range from 5 to 15 per cent.". Upon the future prospects of the trade, these gentlemen say : " We remark during the year a full average demand for wool for export. This branch of the trade seems on the increase. and, since the suspension of the import duty, this market promises to become the great centre for for eign im poi In the export of wool of home growth we )bserve a diminution. In the export of manufactured goods we are sorry to perceive a falling off to most quar ters. This is, fortunately, to some extent, made up by increased shipments to the United States; our extending relations with that country now forming one of the brightest features of our prospects. Stocks of foreign are generally light, and not likely to be increased by any heavy arrivals for some time, as the prices in most of the markets abroad are still too high to allow of shipping to advantage. The stock of domestic wools held by the trade and manufacturers is unusually light; that in the hands of growers will be above an average. But in the present position of the agricultural interest there is little prospect of its being unduly pressed upon the market. On the whole we have every confidence in the maintenance at ler disasters may demand - a continuance of the present salutary caution, we have strong grounds for anticipating a steady and healthy course of trade for the ensuing year." The imports of the year, into this port, have been, Foreign, 70,181 bales; from Scotland, 17,450 bales ; from Ireland, 5308 bales ; coastwise, 1049 bales—total for 1847, 93,988 bales, against 100,371 in the preceding year. It is stated, however, that the apparent decrease of 8000 bales in the number of bales imported, is fully made up by the increase in weight, especially in those from Buenos Ayres. SUGAR.—With respect to this article we cannot do better than quote from the very valuable circular of Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and C 0.,. which, besides being stamped, is in every other respect an Annual Commercial Newspaper. Under this head Messrs. Littledale remark—. " During the past year the changes in the value of Sugar have been considerable, and the continual depres sion in prices for many months has been attended with the most disastrous results, causing the ruin of many old established firms, and the abandonment of a number of estates in our West India colonies. At the commence ment of the year the stocks of Sugar were moderate, and from the impression that it would be allowed in our breweries and distilleries, which, on the opening of Par- weeks the trade, assisted by speculators, and in some in stances brewers, purchased largely, but it soon being apparent that the quantity likely to be taken for brewing and distilling had been greatly over-rated, an d a t the came time emigid.,ahle qnnnlies arrivino- way, an( closed at a decline of 10s, and even of 12s. to 15s. per cwt. from the highest point of the market in January.

The total stock in the four exclusive of Russia, on the Ist Dec. 150,000 tons against 86,000. The present prices of all descriptions of Sugar are extremely low, but we cannot look to any great im provement at present, as the increased production of Cuba, Brazils, and Louisiana, with our heavy stocks, will counterbalance the deficiency from Mauritius and the West Indies; though we think, in the course of two or three mono will be mon l the expo] and a grad Of Brit.

COFFEE.—We quote the following from Messrs. Littledales' circular : " In February there was an animated demand for Coffee, and Native Ceylon advanced from 38s. to 425. per cwt. ; but in the following month prices receded 2s. per cwt., and further declined till the month of November, when they were sold at 335. The decline in plantation descrip tions have been even greater. In foreign, prices rule 7s. to 10s. per cwt. lower than they did this time last year." From the same authority we quote the remarks upon the market for Rum:— " In January, proof Bengal was sold as high as 4s. per gallon. In February, it declined to 3s. 3d., and gradually fell each month. It is now worth Is. 7d. to ls. Bd. West India Rum was also enhanced in value on the government measure being known, but receded as rapidly as it had advanced. Present prices seem likely to be maintained." Messrs. Littledale also supply us with a review of the state of the market for Tea, during the past year; and, although we ought to apologise to those gentlemen for quoting from them so largely, we owe no apology to our readers for giving them such excellent authority : " TEA.--Throughout the past year the market has par ticipated largely in the general dulness and depression of the mercantile community, and it has been our lot to notice each month, without exception, a gradual decline, and especially the last three months a most ruinous one for nearly all descriptions. The importers have generally met the market freely, but the policy of the trade being not to purchase except for immediate want, this, coupled with the large stocks on hand, and the disarrangement of the monetary affairs of the country, has driven prices down considerably lower than they have ever been known since the opening of the trade. " BLAci Congons a fair business has been done during the year, but a decline has taken place com paring with 1846 of fully 2d. per lb. on the common, and 4d. to sd. on the fair to good medium qualities, (of which the conQurnption is large,) and 4d. to -7d. on the fine and finest Moning kinds. The first arrival of the New Con gou brought ls. since then several other parcels have arrived, a portion of which has been sold at Is. 4(1. to Is. 74d ; the remainder very heavy of sale at these rates. Souchong and Flowery Pekoes are much neglected, especially the latter, which have nearly gone out of consu ption • the same remark almost applicable to plain Orange Pekoes and Capers. Scented Orange Pekoe and Capers have been in fair re quest, the former has declined 6d. to Bd., whilst the fine clean qualities of the latter have nearly maintained their rates. .In Greens, all Canton-made sorts and common Twan kay kinds have been very heavy of sale, with but few exceptions, and prices are considerably lower, which will be seen on reference to the quotations. Common to good Hyson and Imperial have also been heavy of sale, and prices are Bd. to 10d. lower ; fine Hyson, Young Hyson, and Gunpowder have continued saleable, and maintain full rates. As regards imports and clearances, we refer you to the tables below. The arrivals for the month are the Lanercost and Selina. We give the concluding remarks of Messrs. Littledale, as to the prospects for the future for the commercial world, which our readers will recognise as being those which we have before expressed in these columns.— " In looking to the future we cannot shut our eyes to the many impediments which must be removed before confidence is restored and trade resume its wonted activity, which may be done by a judicious budget on the re-open ing of Parliament. A prompt reduction in the Tea duty to Is. per lb. would put an end to speculation on that head, and give relief to the China Trade,—some conces sion to the East and West India Sugar planters, to pre vent the total abandonment of our valuable islands, would be well received, and tend to a revival of our exports and the relief of our markets." ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.—We are extremely gratified to learn that, during the past year, the very handsome sum of £547 has been contributed by Si. Saviour's congregation. towards the schools and religious societies connected with that Church. This liberality reflects the very highest credit on both the congregation and their highly-esteemed pastor. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Sunday morning, at a very early hour, a man's hat was found by a police officer on one of the flights of steps at the Prince's pier. A piece of paper was in it inscribed "No. Z, Pleasant street." The wife of a person who lived there has since recognized the hat as that of her husband, and as he is yet missing, the apprehension is that he had either wilfully or accidentally got into the wa•er and was drowned. A report was received at the Police-office early yester day morning, to the effect that a gentleman on horseback had, on the previous night, been maltreated and robbed on one of the roads or lanes in the township of Kirkdale. We have since learned that the gentleman in question (who had probably been giving the new year a prolonged welcome) fell from his horse, and lost some of his effects, but was not attacked, and luckily escaped from the fall without any serious injury. It is now so fashionable for parties to be robbed in the outskirts of the town, or to state that the attempt has been made and most heroically frustrated, that we think it high time that the public should divest themselves of unnecessary alarm—first, because great exaggeration has been abroad, and, secondly, because steps have been taken by the police authorities to give every possible protection to wayfarers. THE WEATHER.—The week ending with our present date was variable—chequered with cold winds, rain, hail, and other wintry elements, interspersed with occasional fine sunshine, until Sunday afternoon, when a rather keen frost commenced, and has continued up to the time of our writing (Monday night), with an appearance of enduring for some time. The wind yesterday was from the south, but it is not unusual fur a frost to last in t his latitude for for some time with the wind in that quarter, and its con tinuance, if not very severe, would certainly be preferable to the wr' nd ..cu and sloppy weather we have generally exp.e -enced so far during the winter, and would, we think, be better for the land, and more conducive to the public health. Farming operations, with the exception of re pairing stone and other fences, carting manure, and in door work, may be said to be at a stand-still. POLICE COURT, YESTERDAY.—Frederick Bedey, for attempting to steal a casket and contents, in Fontenoy street—an old offender—was committed to gaol for three months.—John J. Murphy, for stealing 301bs. weight of lead in Smithdown-lane ; and afterwards Thomas Davies and Patrick Cain, for the same offence ; three months.— Bridget Nelson, for stealing, in Fontenoy-street, two vests: two months.—Two parties were committed for a month each for stealing bread from shops.—Ellen Lion and Catharine Moran, for stealing 31bs of cotton from the quays, were committed respectively for two months and one month.—A girl, named Mary Dillon, for stealing a con siderable quantity of female wearing apparel. from the shop in which she was employed, in the Upper Arcade, and part of which she had pledged, was committed for trial.—William Wright, a man advanced in life, was sent to undergo the same ordeal for uttering base shillings, to various parties. The business throughout the day was OPERATION UNDER' THE INFLUENCE OF CHLORO FORM.—Yesterday, in presence of P. F. Curry, Esq., the borough coroner, and other gentlemen, an operation of a dangerous kind was most successfully performed upon a _ _ mare patient in the Northern Hospital, while he was un der the influence of this deadener of pain. The man had I a fracture, which. rendered kimpyrative that he should have his left leg an - imitated at the thigh. The chloroform was administered, and almost immediately took effect. The operation was most expertly performed by Mr. Bainbrigg, one of the house-surgeons of the es tkblishrnent, and under ordinary circumstances would Nye been one of great and prolonged pain. It was ac complished in a comparatively short time ; and on the . . patient recovering from the soothing effect of the drug, which rendered him unconscious of what had been going on, and apparently threw him into a profound sleep; he . . ny leg off then ? exclaimed with c that's capital !" APPLICATION TO BE RESTORED TO THE POLICE FORCE. —At the Police Court, yesterday, a letter was handed to Mr. Rushton, froth a police-officer named Arthur Jones, with another named Blake, was lately suspended from the force, and committed for trial at the sessions on a charge of unwarrantable assault and maltreatment of a gentleman at the north end of the town. Mr. Rushton calling upon Jones, who made his appearance near the bench, said that his application to him was that he should sign a petition having for its object his restoration to the police force. He (Mr. R.) would not do so. He had sent the applicant and his associate on the occasion (Blake) for trial at the sessions, and though they had been acquitted, he had found from the statements they had made before him that they were unworthy of belief on their oaths. The magistrate. after briefly stating the hich he allUded, said that neither of them .estored to ; the police while he sat there as a YACHT CLUB.—The weekly club took place in the Club ; last, John Grindrod, Esq., the chair. Mr. J. L. Ives, onna (25 tons), was voted in --. On the motion of Mr. R. eral amendments were made in the laws and re -one of them substituting the title of " Vice re for that of " Captain " ; and another re -1 yachts belonging to the club to wear the club •anted by the Admiralty warrant) when within 3 of the MerseY; and elsewhere, when the Corn s flag is there hoisted. Mr. Melling (the hono retary) exhibited a ship's compass ore new and ,yed principle, the object attained being g ter stea d in heavy weather, with an application for increasing maintaining the magnetic power of the needle. This muc h commended. The concluding portion of the I evening was spent in social enjoyment by t he com p an y , which was numerous, considering the season of the year. rll F.

They might rely upon it parliament would never allow them to tax the commerce of the country. Mr. Lloyd said they only asked an enabling power to buy land ;—he (Mr. Evans) only wanted an enabling power to build warehouses. They might rely upon it, that there was not a committee of either House of Parliament that would not replace the warehouse clause in the bill with indignation. They had heard a great deal about the pur chase at the north end ; but it seemed that was only for the accommodation of the timber trade, and not for the purpose of docks. But he should like to know what was to become of timber ships whilst discharging their cargoes. There was enough of open dock accommodation, at least there would be when the 70 or 80 acres now in course of construction were opened ; but there was a scarcity of warehoues. (" No, no.") Mr. HOLME.—One-half are empty. Mr. EARLE.---At least one-third are unlet. Mr. EVANS.-But 'there was a scarcity of dock ware houses. He could have no confidence in any act which was not enabling on one side as well as on the other — which did not enable them to build warehouses as well as to purchase land. The warehouse interest was twice as powerful as ever, and it was his firm opinion they would never let them have another dock warehouse if they could help it. Another gentleman hat] declared that if they at tempted to build warehouses around the Prince's Dock, they would be expelled out of the committee. He (IV4. Evans) believed the contrary; but if they were—what, would they be out of doors ? A great deal more powerful than that Council. If the Council were going to prefer private interest to public, he could tell them that before the country and the Legislature they would lose every particle of power. It wr . s by no means improbable that the Government might put the docks into commission, and take them to the public account. Mr. EARLE complained that Mr. Evans bad made use of threatening language, as he always did, for the pur pose of deterring members of the Council from doing their duty. He (Mr. Earle) had always contended that around the docks was the best position for warehouses, and had voted for their erection there; but, at the same time. he had very great doubts whether a public body like the Dock Committee ought to be allowed to compete with private individuals. Mr. Danson's advice was a great deal better than that given by Mr. Evans. The latter always thought his arguments, because they came from him, were unanswerable. He talked of what the parlia ment would do, of what the country—that was Mr. Evans (laughter)—would do, and he told .him (Mr. Earle), the other day, that he would go to London himself to oppose them, and raise all London about their ears. (Laughter.) Mr. EVANS.—I never said so. Mr. EARLE.—I3ut you told me you would go to Lon don, and oppose the bill; and if you did not say you would raise all London, you promised to raise the opposi tion of parliament against us. Mr. Earle concluded by observing that the matter might be so arranged that the bill could go through parliament without any opposition at all. Mr. Alderman HODGSON was not sorry the rating clause had been omitted, because it would afford time for a just consideration of the conclusion they ought to arrive at. He thought there were very important questions with regard to rating both docks and warehouses. They ought to know why one should be charged, and the'other not — or why either should be exempt ? He was as much alive as any man could be to the necessity of accommodating the trade of the port, and also to the importance of hav ing warehouses around the docks ; but he thought the true test of the wants of the trade was to be found in the prospects of private interests. He was of opinion that public corporate bodies were not the proper parties to have the management of warehouses, for they would be much better and more economically conducted by private parties. There was no occasion for going to parliament this session at all, and if they waited for some time, he had no doubt but arrangements might be made for the building of warehouses around the docks, by private indi viduals, on a much cheaper and more economical plan than by a public body. He was much surprised at the sentiments uttered in the Council that day. He did not mean to say it was intended, but, certainly, the arguments adduced would lead any one to suppose that there were two systems of morality in existence—one for private in dividuals, and the other for public bodies. He held that what was right for a private individual to do. could not be wrong for him in his public capacity. They sat there to do justice, and he (Mr. Hodgson) felt satisfied that he who did what was right and just promoted the general interest much better than by advocating any scheme of his own invention from sinister motives. He contended that leases might be granted in the same way as Corpora tion leases, to private individuals for the erection of ware houses around the docks ; then why should they injure the property of private individuals—nay, their own pro perty—by permitting competition bet vv , rTn the Dock Com mittee and private individuals ? He-did not know whether the Albert Dock warehouses were likely to pay a fair per centage upon the outlay ; at all events they ought to wait until there was a fair trial of them, and it was known what was the result. Mr. S. HOLME said it was not his intention to have said anything on the subject before the Council, but as the Mayor had permitted the warehouse question to be mooted, he should avail himself of the opportunity of saying a few words, as he did not intend the remarks Mr. Evans had seen fit to make with reference to warehouses in general, and warehouse owners in particular, to pass unnoticed. Before, however, he said much upon that subject, he begged to observe that, from-what he under stood, the Dock Trustees had already as much on their hands as would fully employ them for the next eighteen months or two years, and as they were not short of mo ney, (for, under existing acts, they could raise £115,000,) and looking at the fact that all the great railway compa nies in the kingdom are suspending operations, and that half the warehouses in Liverpool are empty, nothing can be lost, but everything gained, by delay. He thought the warehouse owners were deserving of better treatment than they had lately received, and deserved some consideration, when it was known that they had come forward to accom-, modate the trade of the port, by building warehouses, when the Dock Trustees had not a single shilling to apply to such a purpose. He knew of one case where a warehouse owner was now a bankrupt, offering 4s. in the pound. He had let his warehouses, worth £2.000, for £BOO, out of which be had £750 to pay for interest of his mortgage; leaving only £5O for the support of himself and his family. He knew of another instance, where the interest of the mortgage was £7OO, the rental of which was £l5OO, and now let for £9OO. A large family had to be supported out of the balance, and one of that family was a cripple. These were cases, and there were many such, which, at all events, ought to prevent the warehouse owners from being treated with cruelty. If parties who had embarked their capital in gas and water companies, were to be com pensated the f o r the principle, ni on e whyso e x s p h e o n u d l e d d e n y d p b a e r c l o i e me master porters, coopers, and warehouse-keepers, in opposition to private tradesmen ?—why should not some indemnity be given for the deterioration of their property ? With reference to what had been said about the non-rating of warehouses cheapening the trade of the port, he (Mr. H.) was quite as ready as any one to make great sacrifices, but let them have even-banded justice. Why should the mer chant have his cargo in their depot free from local bur dens whilst the retail dealer was taxed ? With reference to what had fallen from Mr. Evans, he did say that gen tleman had added insult to injury; and he (Mr. Holmes) rejoiced to meet him face to face, in order to have an op portunity of answering his arguments. He knew that sundry articles had appeared in the newspapers, to which certain parties were in the habit of contributing; but when they were told that the warehouse owners were a set of harpies, it was language which could not come from any honourable man's mouth, and could not emanate from any honourable man's mind—(hear.)—when they were told that there were widows and 'orphans, but those were designated widows with short beards and orphans of mature growth—such languagewtounbecoming—unfeeling —unchristian ! (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Holmes) could not refrain from expressing his honest feelings ; but Mr. Evans, in applying to the warehouse owners a want of public morality — The Mayer.--I did not hear:that remark. Mr. HOLME.—I took down the words, sir. Mr. EVANS.—I said this council would be wanting in public morality. You have made me talk nonsense. Mr. HoLME.—I have not been making him talk non sense, but he certainly has talked a great deal of nonsense. He would say in behalf of the warehouse owners that they fairly and ID:mom-ably met Mr. Bramley-Moore, and per mitted him to go on with the Albert dock warehouses when they might have prevented him. He thought the obser vations of Mr. Danson were of great importance, and de serving of consideration. Instead of calling names, it would be much better if a deputation from the council were to meet a deputation of warehouSe owners, and settle the question in an amicable way. But Mr. Evans had said that warehouses could be built at half the expense of the Albert Warehouses. He (Mr. Holme) would have no objection to take the opinion of Mr. Evans as to the value of a bale of cotton, but certainly not about building a warehouse. However, if that could be accomplished, it would be much better to give them a fair trial, to see what would be their cost when extended over two or three years, and then they would be in a better position for going to parliament if they thought it would pay. There was some inconsistency in the re marks of Mr. Evans. Formerly he objected to any fur ther increase of works, but now he is not unfavourable to going to parliament for the purpose of having another half million or million of money expended on dock warehouses. Let this subject remain for a year or two—let the present warehouses have a fair trial—let every notice and conside ration be given to the warehouse owners, and the Council would not find them offering any factious opposition to measures intended for the public good ; but they did object to the crude measures now brought forward. Mr. EvANs, in a state of excitement, demanded an ex planation from Mr. Mime. This led to considerable confusion, in the course of which the Mayor requested that order might be restored. Mr. Evaxs.—He talked to me about manliness, and that I must— Mr. HOLME.—I did not make any remarks attributing the authorship of the observations in the newspapers to Mr. Evans ; but does Mr. Evans deny that he wrote them ? If not, has he the manliness to avow them ? I have read them in newspapers supporting Mr. Evans's views, and I remarked upon them accordingly. If the cap fits him, let him wear it. Some further confusion ensued, in the course of which Mr. RATHBONE walked to the centre of the room, and said he wished to call the Mayor's attention to what had just passed. One gentleman had talked of manliness, and the other about bullying. (Hear. hear. The MAYOII.—I did not hear the remark. Mr. RATHBONE.—I certainly heard Mr. Evans say ilis time to put a stop to this bullying ; and I think there should be something done to prevent anything further occurring out of this room. The MAYOR called on both gentlemen to give an assur ance that nothing further should occur out of doors. Mr. HoLME.—I was commenting on what I had read in the newspapers. In one of them the warehouse owners are called a set of harpies. 1 certainly said—Whoever was the author of that observation was guilty of conduct un becoming the character of a gentleman ;—I dia not say who was the author. Mr. EVANS.—If I recollect right, that referred to the master tradesmen. Mr. HoLME.—It was not that article I alluded to The MAYOR hoped that both gentlemen would give an assurance that nothing further should take place. Mr. HOLME.—I have no hesitation in saying in the face of this Council, that I do not consider myself bound by what is commonly called the laws of honour, but which I think anything but honourable. I dare not offend the law by fighting a duel, and run the risk of embruing my hands in my brother's blood. I dare not offend Gob by fighting a duel, and I never will place myself in a position by which I may be either a murderer or a suicide. (This was uttered in such a cool and solemn manner as produced considerable effect in the Council.) Mr. EVANS.—Then you should keep a civil tongue in your head. The MAYOR.—Order, order.) Now, Mr. Evans, I hope you will have no hesitation in giving the required as surance. Mr. EVANS.—Of course he puts himself out of the pale of being held responsible. The MAYOR.—I must put an end to this. Mr. RATHBONE.—Such conduct as this is exceedingly unbecoming. I hope my friend, Mr. Evans, will see the impropriety of it, and give us an assurance that no further proceedings shall take place. The MAYOR (to Mr. Evans).—l must request you will withdraw that expression. Mr. EVANS.—What expression ? The MAYOR.—That any person who refuses to fight a duel puts himself out of the pale. Mr. EVANS.—Out of the pale ! Pale of what ? Fit a meaning to it. The MAYOR.-It is due to the Council that you with draw that expression. Mr. EVANS.—The withdrawal must begin there. (Pointing to Mr. S. Holme.) The MAYOR.—Much has been said on'both sides which might have been spared. Mr. EVANS.-He has put himself out of the pale of being responsible by the manner which has been had recourse to. . The MAYOR..—That is not satisfactory. (No, no.) I must request you to give the assurance that you will take no further steps. Mr. EVANS.—He has put it out of my power. The MAYOR.—WiII you give the assurance? The MAYOR.—That you yourself will not originate any proceedings. Mr. EVANS.—Of course. Mr. ROBINSON then briefly addressed the Council, and after regretting the scene which bad just taken place, pro ceeded to argue that warehouses around the docks would prove advantages, and pay a handsome revenue to the es tate, as the Albert Dock warehouses were already doing. Mr. G. HOLT contended that it was not desirable to proceed with the bill in its present shape, as it was to tally inadequate to the demands of the trade of the port. Mr. Alderman Nicol, recalled the attention of the Council to the subject before them. Mr. BENNETT wished to know from the Town-clerk whether if Mr. flolt's amendment was carried, the rating clause might not be left out altogether in Committee, and the bill passed, and warehouses built without being subject to rates The TOWN-CLERK.—It is possible. Mr. BENNETT.—IS it not more—is it not probable? The TOWN -CLERK.—I cannot say that. It is not un likely, however, that in Parliament the Committee may introduce the railway clause, and not the rating clause. Mr. BENNETT —1 wish to know in the event of Mr. Bramley-Moore's motion being carried, whether members may not insist on a warehouse clause being inserted without the rating clause ? The TOWN-CLERK.—Yes. Mr. BENNErr.—Then I shall vote for the postpone ment of the Bill altogether. The MAYOR. That is not before the Council at present. Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE then replied. He contended that the Council would be stultifying itself by adopting the amendment. The votes were then taken on the amendment, when there appeared—For, 13 ; against, 38. For.—Messrs. Walthew, Rathbone, Evans, Stitt, H. Hornby, Aikin, Holt, Tinne, G. H. Lawrence, Lace, T. Lloyd, Berm, and the Mayor. Against.—Messrs. Woodruff, Morris, Preston, Hill, Littledale, Tyrer, G. H. Horsfall, Henderson, Robinson, Toulmin, Rimmer, Royden, Harbord, Rogers, S. Holme, Tobin, Booker, Reade, Kaye, Gardner, Ranson, Earle, J. B. Lloyd, Bennett, Parker, Plumpton, Jones, Mann, Hodgson, Swainson, J. Holmes, Sir T. Brancker, Nicol, Cooper, Wood, Procter, Bramley-Moore, and Chilton. Mr. H. HORNBY then moved another amendment— " That it is not desirable to proceed with the bill in the present session of parliament." Mr. BENNETT seconded the motion. Mr. EARLE again spoke in favour of the rating of dock warehouses. Mr. PARKER said he would support the amendment, because he was in favour of rating the warehouses. The tank at Green-lane was rated in the parish of West Derby, and why should dock warehouses be exen.pt ? Mr. Alderman HODGSON spoke in favour of delay as advantageous to a final settlement of the warehouse ques- Mr. Alderman NicoL contended that if the amendment were carried, the council would be stultifying their pro ceedings, as they had already affirmed the proposition for going to parliament. He implored them to act in some degree with consistency. Mr. S. HOLME and. Mr. Alderman COOPER declared their intention of supporting the amendment. Mr. A. LACE said it was very important to bear in mind, that if the bill went to parliament they would cer tainly insist upon a warehouse clause being inserted. Al though it was against his own personal interests, he thought the best place for warehouses was around the docks, and so he would vote for them being erected under proper regulations. After a few words from Mr. Bramley-Moore, the Coun cil divided, when there appeared For the Amendm — ent AgLinst Majority 11 For.—Messrs, Walker, Woodcroft, Rathbone, Morris, Preston, Hill, Littledale, jun., Toulmin, Rogers, Hornby, Aikin, Harboard, S. Holme, Tobin, G. Booker, Reade, Gardner, Danson, J. B. Loyd, Earle, Bennett, Parker, A. Lace, R. L. Jones, J. B. Lloyd, D. Hodgson, A. Swainson, J. Holmes, Cooper, and Procter. Against.—Messrs. Evans, Horsfall, G. Holt, Tinne, Robinson, Rimmer, Kaye, Plumpton, G. IL Lawrence, Watson, Benn, Mann, Sir Thos. Brancker, Messrs. Nicol, J. N. Wood, J. Bramley-Moore, Molyneux, Chilton, and the Mayor. _ Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE called the attention of the Council to the position in which the last division had placed them. He thought it would be necessary to nega tive the proceedings of the Dock Committee relative to that bill. . This led to some discussion which, however, was ended by the Town-Clerk ruling, as his opinion, that the passing of the amendment did, in fact, negative those proceedings. It being then a quarter past three o'clock. the Council adjourned until this day at half-past ten o'clock. YEARLY CUSTOMS' REVENUE OF THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—.LASZ nignt, a meeting of this advancing and truly interesting society took place at the Clarendon-rooms ; Mr. Leatherbarrow, jun., in thechair. The attendance was numerous. On the table were exhibited three fine specimens of plants in bloom, namely, a Goodyera Discolor, an orchidaceous plant, grown at Stewart Gladstone's, Esq.. Olive Mount, Mr. Brown ' gardener ; an Abutillon Venosum, by the same ; and, a new Amaryllis, from Pool-bank, (J . G. Wainwright, Esq.,) Mr.J. Mayer, gardener. 'Th e appear ance, verdure, and bloom of these plants w as e q ual to an ordinary flower show, in the eyes of the co g noscenti . A discussion took place relative to the establishm ent of flower shows, under the auspices of,the society ; an d, though some little difference of opinion was manif es t e d, it appeared to b%the genera l desire that exhibitions of plants and flowers should b e established, though not through the funds of the society, who could better devote their means to the promotion, in the first instance, of horticultural improvement in its own proper or legitimate wa y. The meeting separated in the best of humour, after a conversation of some duration, in which the respective .speakers shewed that they could produce some "flowers" of oratory, as well as those lhat adorn the universal gar den of Flora, and which they are gifted with the art to improve. _ _ MENTAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY'S SOIREE.—We per- members and friends of this society intend holding their annual soiree at the RoyalAssembly-rooms,Great George street, on Friday evening next; and that Dr. Hume is to take the chair. If the proceedings be as entertaining as they were at last year's soiree—and we have no doubt they will—those who attend will have an opportunity of enjoying themselves which seldom occurs. In referring to this society, we may state that we have been informed of the members having opened a free evening school in Wilde-street, somewhat on the plan o :the ragged schools." We are happy to hear o ithis, as slissetting an excellent example to other societies of the same nature in Liverpool and the neighbourhood —an example which we trust soon to see them following, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) WATER ARBITRATION. The Accountant appointed by the Arbitrator to invest' gate the books and accounts of the two Water Companies' has been occupied, during the past week, in examining the financial expense of the Harrington Company, for the year just ended. Various objections to the Company accounts were urged by Mr. Hawkesley, on behalf of the Corporation, all of which were however satisfactorily ek plained by the company's officers. The various aceounte of the Company have been subject to a most rigid scrutiny by the parties representing the Corporation—nothing however has transpired to make it appear that these se' counts had been prepared with a view to enhance the value of the Works. The Arbitrator has intimated his desire that the AC' countant should finish his labour to-morrow morning. The decision will in all probability be given during 0 6 present week. Yesterday morning, Thomas Sale, aged 25, was eNecul at Newgate, for the murder o f M r . B e l e h am b ers. wretched man made a full conf e s s i on o f hi s guilt, an added that all which M'Coy had stated was true. LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY. Since our last report, a sharp frost has set in, and this ehtrage in the weather gave more tone to the Wheat trade this moil , : ing ; the English samples were in better condition, and in good request, at fully the currency of this day week. There was also a better demand for foreign at former prices• Barrel Flour in moderate request. Indian Corn ruled dull, but not pressed for sale under our previous currency. The continued dull state of the Malt trade keeps malting barley depressed, and the quality being mostly secondall+ rendered the sale the more difficult, although offered on rather lower terms. In Beans and Peas there was no alteration. The Oat trade remains steady in value, but the sale cor tracted chiefly in small parcels to necessitous buyers. MONEY MARKET-YESTERDAY The operations in public securities are now less affected by the current of external events than by the state of the account* Consols for the opening commenced at 86j buyers, have been done at 868, and are now sellers at 864. The advance was SP' parently checked by the speculators for the advance realising profits. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been done at 81.. to 8, the Three-and-a-quarter per C en t s . at 8 7 , to I Bank Stoc k 190 2, India 233 4. Exchequer Bills have advanced to 90 22 and India Bonds are 10 pm. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO MR. HATCH'', ST. ANNE'S WARD. Yesterday evening, a meeting was held at Mr. Clegg] Pontack Inn, Christian-street, of th e most i n fl uen members of St. Anne's Ward, for the p urpose o f presen t ing to Mr. Oliver Hatch, several valuabl e p i eces o f plate for his services as secretary of the conse rva ti ve comm i t in St. Anne's Ward. After an excellent di nner , th e m interesting portion of the evenin g w a s commence d b the Chairman, Mr. Parker, giving the h ea lth o f th e Queen and the usual loyal toasts, whi c h were d ran k w ith a ll t honours. Mr. PARKER gave next—" Our glorious Constitution in Church and State." The next toast was the toast o the evening —"the Health of Mr. Oliver Hatch." N' Parker paid a very high compliment to Mr. Hatch, fo his services as a leading member of the committee of ward, and then proceeded to present—which he did very touching and appropriate language —a very neatly' designed piece of plate to Mr. Hatch, which was acknovr ledged by that gentleman in very feeling terms. Amongst the company present we observed Mr. J. Bar nett (vice-chairman), Mr. R. L. Jones, Mr. G. H. Hors fall, Mr. Woodruff, &c. It has been settled that the Bishop of Manchester, and not Dr. Hampden will take the vacant seat on the epis' copal bench in the House of Lords. The Times authoritatively contradicts a report which has been industriously circulated, that Prince Albert labouring under a disease of the lungs. Abd-el-Kader and the Duke d'Aumale have met, and the ex: sultan presented the duke with his horse as a token , of gratitude, which the duke received "as an homag tendered to France, and a sign of oblivion of th e p a st.' At the Limerick Special Session, on Friday, a man named Dee was convicted of the murder of a farmer named Nornan, who occupied some land from w hi c h the murderer had been dispossessed for non-payment of rent , This is the second capital conviction at this special session, and several parties have been transported for life. f It is a singular fact th a t th e oppos i t i on to t h e Bi s h o e Manchester is the first occasion in which the election of ° bishop has been opposed since the days of Archbishop Laud, whose nomination of Bishop Montague to the seen' Hereford, we believe, was opposed by the Puritans. The opposer then not having his objections set forth in writing was refused a hearing by the commissioners. On Saturday, Patrick Rid was executed at York for, the triple murder at Mirielgl. More than thi r ty thousand persons were present. On his appearance on the scaffold he seemed perfectly resigned to his fare, though his coon' tenance was deadly pale. He was attended by a Roman i Catholic priest, and just befo re th e f a t a l b o lt was remo ve he said to the officers around him, " M'Cabe is entirelf innocent ; no other person in the world had anything o° _, do with it." Owing to the looseness of the rope, it wn" two minutes before the unhappy man ceased to be any vulsed and the world closed on him for ever. GuANo.—The import of guano into this port in • 18 46 RIM 103.768 tons, of which 76,494 were from Teiwahne' In 1846 and 1847, there being no arrivals from Ichaboe , there were imported respectively 22,513 tons an d 25,02 6 tons. The stock in this port at the close of the yeaei 1845, 1846, and 1817, was respectively 80,884, 46,423, an d 28,660 tons. At the former period there were, however.; 49,344 tons of Ichaboe, which d w i n dl e d d own i n 1811 to 6,790 tons. The consumption in 1846 was 56,9/ 5 tons, and in 1847 it was 42.787 tons. In the former ye there were consumed 34,715 tins of Ichaboe guano' whilst in 1847 there were only 7,839 tons of that island 6 produce consumed. THE IRON TRADE.—The colliers in the iron distric t about Birmingham still continue out, and from the furthe r y i in of he willc obuersceoonfsi, n few dera weeks suspension ks the of increased.f numbero rge forges, i r n oomf a am l probability, setnatuisnt pl unemployed ly ical re' account published i n the Birmingham Journal last week, it appears that the Staffordshire mining district, which six months ago p sented a scene of busy and profitable industry unequalled i in any other part of England, wears just now a change and cheerless aspect. There are altogether 137 blast fur; naces in the district. Of these, 68 are out of blast, an d 72 in, and so lately as since December, 38 out of the 5 / named as blow n ou t h ave b een stoppe d i n consequence of the depressed state of trade. The number of furnaces td blast in the depressed state of trade in June, 1843, was 710 and out of blast 69—total, 141. The ironmasters' meet' ing next week will be looked forward to with considerabl e anxiety both by sellers and buyers, to know what will be done. If the men remain out, several of the ironmastee e , now working short time will close their works a ltogether until the crisis has passed over. METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER, BY MR. C. H.
