Great Charles-street, Birmingham; of whom may he had (gratis) with each box of pills their Treatise on Venereal Disease, .Gonorrhma, Gleets, and Stricture, in cluding Practical Observations on Seminal Weakness, arising from early abuses, so that all persons can obtain an immediate Cure, with ease, secrecy, and, safety. It is a Melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve nereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness 'of illiterate tnen, who,liy - the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution, and cause' ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness, in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleetS, 'and "noose on the shin bones, till at length a 'general debility and decay of" the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. PERIMSPI44,IFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 91, and Per'WX, a . tertain, safe, and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal rliseases,.—:gonorrhcea, sleets, strictures, seminal weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages.-frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three clays, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secresv, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove The disease, but renovate by their action the differ ent functions of the body, expelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. A t any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventatiVe, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. MesSrs. PERRY, Snrgeons, continue to direct their studies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indis criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgMent, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of banefal habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vi;zurous health. PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore `throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal pains in the head anti limbs, depression of spirits, and all diseases arising from an impure state of the blond. These Pills are worthy a place in the cabinets of masters and captains of ships, the more so, as they till keep good in all climates any length of time. Letters from the country, post-paid, containing a remittance far medicine, will he immediately answered. 23, SLATER-STREET, NEAR DUKE-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

The following' particulars respecting this unhappy man are communicated is a letter from the chaplain of the gaol, the Rev. W. Horner, to the Honourable and Rev. Horace Powys, Hector of Warrington : "I have been with him many times to-day, and have taken down the few disclosures as to his wicked life, which appear below. He is a man of few words, and I have not ventured to change any expression which he has used. He is altogether unwilling to speak of his conduct to the deceased; always answering, • They know to much of that already, I do not like that to be talked of.' In tact, strange as it may appear to an inconsiderate person, it will not appear so to you; that a man, who, by the grace of God, has been brought to abhor his sinful conduct, should have great reluctance to dwell, even in me mory, on such a filthy as well as cruel transaction. He speaks generally of his wickedness, but cannot bear the mention of the particulars, but says he deserves his punishment. " The following I have taken down as he spoke it. ' I wove at , a band-loom from the age of nine to twenty-one when I went to Mr. Eskrigge's factory. I left off going to church When about fourteen •or fifteen years old, and spent my Sun days in walking about with other young men, often spending . my . evenings in drinking I have been about two years in the union; we paid only at times when there was a turn-out. I began to drink hard when about twenty years old. J drank both ale and spirits, but not much spirits, and led a sad wild life. I do not blame any particular person, I was ready enough, and cannot say that my bad conduct was from anything but drink. Had I followed going to church, it would not have happened. About a year ago I was working at Bolton and lodged with James Kitchen, who advised me continually to go to church. - I promised hint I would, but never went. I spent my time in loving about and drinking, but never joined any thieves, nor was intimate with any I thought such. We had bits of larks , and all kinds of bad habits such as drinking leads to, as card playing for money or ale. The worst company I joined was them who were given to drinking. which, and neglect of tni , duty to God, has led me to this*. I should not wish my friends' to be blamed. My mother was at me every day about drunk enness, till it brought me here. I hope all young men will take warning by my example, and avoid drink, loose company , and sabbath breaking. It may come to their lot to die suddenly, and they may not have even the same opportunity of repenting that I have had. Though 1 have been a very great sinner:l humbly trust that God has accepted my repentance for Jesus Christ's sake.' _ _ _ " William Hill," continues the chaplain, " has often ex pressetWfis full forgiveness of all who have injured him. He seems most unwilling that any one should bear the blame . of his misconduct, which he onsiders as the natural consequence of a life of drunkenness and inattention to the worship of God. He was patient and resigned to the last. He said he felt the weight of his sins a very heavy load, but yet could not think that he repented as much as he ought. He said his punishment was just, because he was the cause, through his wicked attempt, of the poor woman's death. He never for a moment allowed me to suppose that she had in any way been consenting to his conduct—she was merely cheerful and good natured. He expressed a most earnest desire for the welfare of his family and friends; and especially for their being prepared for their great change." FASHIONS. At the late promenade at Longebamps, the most striking novelty was the introduction of embroidered muslin mantelets, richly trimmed with lace, which bear the title of " Andalusian." Nothing can possibly be more graceful than these elegant ar ticles of Spanish origin. They are light as zephyr, and set off to great advantage the fair forms they cover. We have seen them also made of silk, but thought the effect inferior. Square shawls of India muslin, richly trimmed with lace, and adorned at the corners with a lavish display of fiue embroidery, have also been much worn. These are folded cornerways, when worn, and are frequently seen . over rose or gord•coloured silk. The effect is exceedingly delicate; we have no doubt that during the summer they will be worn without any relief from under neath. Nothing can he more graceful than a fine figure, ' slightly concealed by the ample waves of these gossamer cover ings ; there is poetry in their very appearance. The square black shawls, lately so much in vogue, were scarcely seen, Silk bonnets, covered with muslin ; sometimes plain, but much more frequently embroidered, were seen in abundance. The transparency of the muslin serves to set off the silk. Bonnets and capotes of grey silk have also been much worn ; they are generally adorned with feathers, and have a small flower underneath, near the hair; generally sneaking, flowers are wot a as a trimming. rather than feathers; and sometimes the whole bonnet is surrounded with wreath's of ivy, small roses, or forget-me-nots. The bonnets are decidedly smaller, and de. scend low on the cheek; indeed, often below the chip. Leg.' horn and fine straw have been much seen. They are trimmed wlth spriug flowers. Shot silks have been in great request for dresses, and striped silks are also much worn. The corsage goes high up behind, and comes low in front. The wings cross at the side, and the waist-belt is ornamented with a rosette at the point, where the fastenings take place; the stud, or hook. eye, are thus concealed. The sleeves are tight at the wrist chid shoulder, hitt much larger in the itiifinediate space. However, some ladies of high fashion still wore a tight sleeve at the late promenade. Sun-shades are worn much smaller than those of the last year, and almost in every instance were of striped silks. The ground is generally white. and the stripes of various colours. In some cases they are edged with lace. All the fair eques trians who figured at Longchamps wore trowsers exceedingly low on the boot, and the boots themselves exceedingly small at the point. We forgot to mention that but little riband is worn on the bonnet. A single turn and the ties are thought suffi cient, Pelisses have a garniture en bias, which runs the whole length of the skirt. No new stuffs have appeared this season ; we have still the old ones befcire us; but they are rendered new by the change in the manlier of wearing them.—Court Gazette. • ROBBERY.—EarIy in the morning of S un day ""'last, alit, some thieveS entered the premises belonging to the Rev. Thomas Sleigh, of Wavertree. After pulling up some rhubarb in the kitchen garden, they proceeded to the pleasure garden, and with a lever broke the lock of one Of the othouses, and took therefrom more than one hundred poitniis h weight of very fine grapes. They then forced their way into the second hothouse, but not finding the fruit sufficiently ripe for their purpose, they contented themselves by taking away - the thermometer. No iajury wis done to the vines, nor the houses, and it is supposed that the grapes were taken to be sold in the Birmingham or London market. Every effort bus been made to discover the thieves ; but without effect. THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL. FOR THE BENEFIT OF MRS.

Owing to the very liberal encouragement which we have received from our advertising friends, and for which we beg leave to tender our grateful acknowledgments, we have come to the resolution TO ENLARGE THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TO THE EXTENT OF SIX AD DITIONAL COLUMNS - Hitherto we have frequently been under the necessity of excluding various articles of local interest, and a large proportion of general news, in consequence of the great press of advertisements with which we have been fa voured. We have often, also, been forced to the alter native of materially curtailing our reports as well as our editorial remarks, on the same account. The pro posed enlargement will enable us to embody a greater share of such intelligence as may be generally useful, and to extend our reports of the various public meet . ings, which may be held in the neighbourhood, as well as to present to our readers a mass of amusing and instructive extracts front modern publications, which latter we intend to make a prominent feature in the STANDARD. // will also afford us great pleasure to avail ourselves of the opportunity which the contemplated enlargement of the STANDARD will give us for advocating more fully those conservative principles for which we have uni formly contended. The extended patronage which the enjoy shall operate as a stimulus to increased zeal and energy in defence of that glorious cause to which we' feel an ardent attachment—the cause of the Monarchy, the Church, and the constitution of Great Britain. We are happy to announce that arrangements are in progress for considerably increasing the number of agents for the sale of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. When these arrangements are matured, we anticipate a material increase in our circulation, an advantage which we feel confident will be duly appreciated by our advertising friends. We also flatter ourselves that the great increase of matter which the STANDARD will contain in its enlarged form will procure for us ad ditional support from the conservative public in Liverpool. The proposed enlargement will take place in THE FIRST WEEK IN JUNE, after which the LIVERPOOL STANDARD will contain TWELVE COLUMNS OF ADDITIONAL MAT TER PER WEEK, without any increase of price. tube liwiturpoot gitanbarb. FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 4, 1838. The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this Morn- iag► at 5 o'clock. STATE OF CRIME IN IRELAND.—From returns made according to the provisions of an act of parliament, we learn that the " tranquillising" sway of Lord Mulgrave has been characterised by a frightful increase in the num ber of crimes in Ireland. Compared with the period of Tory government the last seven years present an alarm ing contrast. In the Standard of Wednesday the fol lowing very striking exhibition of the blessings of whig radical and Popish ascendancy is afforded : "Mr. Colquhoun succeeded in obtaining a hearing for his twice artfully evaded motion upon the persecution of the Protestant clergy in Ireland. Before alluding more particularly to the debate that followed, we will take leave to offer a few facts from the parliamentary return to which we referred yesterday, illustrative of the pre. sent state of Ireland, and of the effect of the system of tranquillization against which Mr. Colquhoun raised his voice. These facts are vouched by the returns which ministers have been compelled to present to parliament under the salutary provision of an act of parliament, or they would never reach the people of England so abund antly authenticated. " It has cost us much trouble to extract them in the short time at our command ; for, as we have already ob served, the return is advisedly mutilated and confused so as to render the extraction of the truth as difficult as Possible. If we can help it, however, the artifice shall not succeed. " In order to observe the progress of Irish crime, it is necessary to take a term : we shall therefore begin with the year 1823, as giving a repetition of the convenient and customary cycle of seven years : COMMITTALS FOR CRIMES. 1823....T0ry misgovernment 14,623 1830....ditt0, ditto 15,749 • 1837 ....Mulgrave ttanquillity ... .27,396 An increase upon the first period of 1,162 An increase uvon the second period of 11,602 " An aggravation lea- fold of the rate of progress in the respective cycles. "But the horrible rapidity of advance will be most clearly seen by comparing the last two years . . .• Crimes. Homicides. 23,891 620 27,398 722 1836.. 1837.. An increase in ONE YEAR of 3,505 lO2 "This increase of homicides, too, is all in the murder class—for the committals for murders in 1836 were stated at 340, and in 1837 they are, exclusive of Tipperary, 453, and in that county—the return from which artfully con founds homicides—there were ten murderers convicted, making certainly 463 committals for that crime." The same returns afford a very convincing proof of the relativecharacter of Protestantism and Popery in their effects upon national morals. It appears that in 1837 there are altogether 27,396 crimes and 722 homicides included in the returns; and as the numbers for each county are specified, we are enabled to estimate the pro portions for the Catholic and Protestant districts of Ire land. 'faking the ten northern counties, the population of which amounts to 2,314,103, or one-third of the total population of the island, we find that the number of crimes is 5,605, and that of homicides 111, or onefifth of the aggregate of crimes and one-seventh of the whole number of homicides. This fact shows very remarkably the blighting effects of Popery upon the morality of a nation. In the single county of Tipperary, with a po pulation of only 402,5G3, almost exclusively Popish, the number of crimes is 4239, and that of homicides 124, the latter exceeding those committed in the ten Protes tant counties by thirteen! Does not this prove to de monstration that there is something in the very charac ter of Popery which is inimical to the public virtue of a nation ? How can we account for the glaring discre pancies which exist in the statistics of crime in Ireland without attributing to the disciples of Peter Dens the authorship of by far the largest share of crime ? But what can be said now in support of Lord Mul grave's boaSteli "tranquillity" of Ireland ? Is lot the falsehood of such a boast made evident by the returns published by the government itself? A few More such years as the last will suffice to drive away the entire Protestant population of Ireland--the grand object of O'Connell and his proteges. THE TowN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.—The proceedings in the council meeting on Wednesday last were a little more diversified titan usual in their character. The first topic on which any discussion took place was, the ware house question, which led to `•a scene" of no ordinary interest. Mr. Birch very explicitly slated that it " was the known intention of the promoters" of the measure Df building warehouses at the verge of Prince's Dock "to extend" the principle.to other Docks. This is just w bat we have ali along suspected. After such an inti mation, we are sure that no one will condemn the ware house owners fur so strongly protesting against the scheme. Mr. Birch also very justly remarked that the contention on the subject in parliament would in all pro babiliiy prove severe and bitter, adding that "he should be glad if it did not turn out to be the medium9f severe injury to the port." Of course the expense that will be entailed upon all parties by the struggle will be enor mous. But then what do our "economical" reformers care about the lavish expenditure of the public mo ney ? The very harmless remarks of Mr. Birch, who always speaks temperately, seem to have had a very potent effect on Alderman Evans, whO launched out into a violent person'al attack. He accused Mr. Birch of con duct the most atrocious. He said that "the council had received More aggression—more aspersion—bordering on insult—from that gentleman, than from any other person." This charge he reiterated by observing "that he (Mr. Birch) delivered those aspersions in the tone of humility—nay, almost of intreaty—on the School question." What relation the School question could possibly have with the Warehouse question the pugna cious Alderman has not condescended to explain. His allusion to Mr. Birch's " anathemas" and "denuncia tions" are to us equally incomprehensible. We have paid considerable attention to the proceedings in the Town Council from time to time, and we must candidly confess that we have never have seen anything in Mr. Birch's conduct which, in the slightest degree, merits the language to which Alderman Evans has thought pro per to resort. We have not a doubt that the real cause of the Alderman's hostility to Mr. Birch will be found in the circumstance that the latter was returned the last time into the Council with the full approbation of the conservatives. On the question that the report of the Finance Com mittee respect ing.the Corporation churches be confirmed, Mr. Bolton embraced another opportunity for displaying his consummate ignorance, and his inveterate hatred to wards the church. His attack upon that part of the report which related to the erection of a gallery in St. Michael's Church was quite in keeping with his celebra ted speech about " grgans and grinding•stones." This very vulgar personage scarcely ever ventures to open his mouth in the Council-chamber but to attack the church or the clergy ; and on every occasion when he makes such attacks he equally displays his wonderful ignorance and his malignant spite. In the course of his harangue on Wednesday last he spoke of the church as " a sect." Does this conceited councillor know the meaning of the term sect Y We apprehend not. If he will consult any tyro in Latin he will find that it means something cut of or separated from another. He ought to know that the Church of England is the parent stem from which all the .sects in the country have been separated. We are compelled to postpone any further remarks on the proceedings of the Council until Tuesday, when we shall recur to the subject. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. A DETERMINED THIEF.—On Monday, at the Police-office, a well known thief named M'Abay was placed before the Magis trates, on a charge of robbing a labouring man the night before, and severely assaulting him. Policeman 306 stated the night before he heard a watchman's knock from a street leading into Park-lane. He went to see what was the matter, and found that it was a private watchman who had knocked, and he told him that the prisoner had knocked a man down and taken a 411 pair of trousers. .-- t liking to take him into custody on hear say evidence he I ins go. After the prisoner was set at liberty he went up Park- ne after the man he had before knocked down, and knocked him down again, and he then took him into custody. Mr. Hall—" Is the man here 7" Policeman—" No, Sir." A labouring man here stood up, and said, " Yes, 1 am here." This man then stated, that he met the prisoner and three others in Park-lane, on Sunday night, and had a pair of new trowsers under his arm, when the prisoner knocked him down, and took the trowsers from him. The officer stopped tilt prisoner, and he got his trowsers again. He was again pro ceeding up Park-lane, when the prisoner came up to him, and knocked him down again, took away his hat and his neckerchief and 4s. 6d. in silver, all of which he had lost. Parkinson said the prisoner had been in custody on Friday last on a charge of stealing some wood. Mr. Hall said, he had robbed the man twice; he should commit him to take his tiial. ROBBING A TILL.—On Monday a young man, named Isaac Pierce, in the employment of Mr. Morrow, the keeper of wine and spirit vaults, was brought up. Mr. Murrow stated, that the prisoner was employed by him 0t the vaults as a waiter, and on Saturday, be (complainant) sent a female with some marked money to get a gallon of gin, for the purpose of detecting the prisoner, whom he suspected of robbing his till. lie marked three half crowns, and saw them in the till about 12 o'clock. after the woman had paid them. About half an hour afterwards, when he went to look in the till, be missed half a crown, one of the marked ones, and called in a policeman and gave the pris oner into custody. Police officer 131 stated that he searched the prisoner, and found £1 Ss. 6d. on his person in silver, and amongst it a marked half crown. In his box he found a quan tity more silver, and a brace of pistols. Mr. Marrow, in an swer to a question from Mr. Hall said, the prisoner had been with him tour months, and he gave him £2O a year, besides his board and lodgings. Mr. Hall said there were some matters he wanted to inquire into connected with the prisoner; he should remand him till Thursday morning. THE GREAT WESTERN.-It will be seen, by reference to our shipping intelligence, that the steam-ship Great Western has been again spoken, on her voyage to New York. The first time she was fallen in with, was on the 15tb ult. ' in lat. 46. 26., ' long. 32. 13. having at that period been out 7 days . By the Beta, arrived this day from New Orleans, we find that she was seen by her, steering west, on the 16th ult., in lat. 45. 50. long. 38. 40. THE THEATRE ltovA r..—The Theatre has been exceedingly well attended during the week. A new opera—Rossini's English version of the Italian opera of " Ninette, or the Maid of Palaiseau," has been brought out Some strikingly beautiful passages of music occur in it. We were much pleased on 'Wednesday evening with the recitative and trio—" I scud you the following description," by Nine:te (Mrs. Wood,) La Roche, (Mr. Martyn,) and Delaude, (Mr. G. llorneastle). Mr. Martyr), though a wretched actor, possesses a good musical bass voice. Mr. Wood, as Adolphe , looked the character ex tremely well. Mrs. Wood , as usual, sang charmingly. W e perceive that Mrs. Wood takes her benefit this evening, with Love in a 'Village," and other entertainments. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. —The entertainments in this highly popular arena increase ev er y week in merit , and , in conse quence, the house is better and better filled as each night passes. During the last few days, Mr, Batty himself has been in Liverpool with some of the principal performers from his circus in Manchester, But we miss the elegant and graceful Hengler on the lite rope. Mr. Hughes' delineation of the Homeward hound Indianian , winch is really an Herculean task, was admirably per formed ; and his Polande rs , is one of th e most astonishing feats we have ever witnessed. Mrs. Hughes is an elegant equestrian, uniting the fearlessness of an accom plished rider, with the most pleasing feminine gracefulness. Mr. Batty's stud have proved by far one of the gayest and most rsuccessful speculations of the season, inasmuch as the audi ences have been numerous, and of the first class of fashionable visitors. It is intended that the Amphitheatre should close in about a fortnight, and we can confidently recommend all ad mirers of equestrian amusements, who have not yet witnessed the talents of Mr. Batty's company, to ensure themselves that Measure, at the earliest opportunity. We understand that Mr. Batty takes his benefit ou Monday next, and we earnestly wish him a bumper. A meeting of the master cotton-spinners of Bolton was held, at the Swan Hotel, on Friday evening last, the 27th instant, when it was unanimously resolved to commence working four days a week only, on and after Monday, the 30th of April. GREAT L ANCASHIRE COURSING MATCH.--We are now enabled to inform our readers of the amount of the stake which has been paid to Mr. Reid, the owner of the dog Sultan, who won the head prize at the late Southport me e ting, which amount is £396. The dog Rocket, would receive £BO as the second best, and Smuggler £2O as the third best.—Preston Pilot. JACK'S COFFEE HOUSE. —We beg to refer strangers in town to Mr. Shynn's advertisement. Jack's Coffee House is one of the most comfortable hotels in the town, and is second to none for covenient locality. Mr. Robert Al`Z , Teill. son of R.

Ou Wednesday last, a monthly and adjourned quarterly meeting of the council was held. The Deputy TowN-cLEak having read over the minutes of the last locating, proceeded to read over the FINANCE COMMITTEE PitoceEntNGs. Mr. Jordan, who has long b ee s in a stata of ill health, en i - tered the room, and his appe ar an ce w a s hailed wth loud applause. It was resolved, that Lieuten a nt L o we, the Governmentbil gration Agent, be inf o r me d th a t th e committee regret, alter every enquiry, not been able to find any engagement or under standing on the part of the council to induce them to accede to his memorial, and provide him with lodgings. An application was read from Messrs. Challoner, praying to be exempt from the liability of erecting warehouses and arcades on the east side of Queen's Dock, en some land leased by them there under that proviso, and that they might be allowed to erect offices in their stead. The application was grounded on the recent determination of the dock committee to erect ware houses on the brink of the docks, which they contended would make their erection of warehouses according to the provisions of their tenure, a very unprofitable investment. It was not ac ceded to by the committee. An application was made from the churchwardens and over seers of St. Michael's Church, for a grant of about £270 for the erection of a children's gallery in that church, which it was de termined upon to recommend to b e gran t e d. An application was mad e , re l a ti ve to l eave to make the improvements in a warehouse at the corner of Temple.courl, which was recommended not to b e gran t e d b y t h e comm itt e e : (We mention this, as it was afterwards the subject of a motion.) THE WAREHOUSE QUESTION. The Mayon then inquired if it was the pleasure of the council to confirm the finance committee proceedings. Mr. Bot. Tors and Mr. Bitten rose simultaneously, but the Mayor called upon Mr. Councillor BIRCH, who said there was one part of those proceedings which he could not consent to, and to which he cei tainly should have objected, had be 1. , e2n present in commit tee at the time when it came under disc assion. He alluded to the decision of the Finance Committee on a memorial from certain parties who were lessees under the corporation, to be allowed to erect offices on land at the Queen's Dock. This was one of the rather numerous cases in wnich land had been sold upon a special covenant that the buyers should erect no build ings but warehouses upon it, and the memorialists now prayed that, under the altered circumstances in which they were placed, they should be relieved from that condition, ant] be permitted to erect other buildings on the land. It did apAar to him that they could not, with any degree of propriety he would say even with any regard for common justice—enforce that condi tMn upon their lessees; because, after the recent decision of the council upon the subject of building warehouses at the verge of one dock, and the known intention of the promoters of that measure to extend those warehouses to other docks, there was no private individual, in his proper senses, woo would think of erecting warehouses here even if the land were given him for nothing. (Hear.) lie also thought the enforcement of these conditions as impolitic as unjust, for what would that be but the forcible creation of a species of property which must ultimately be ruinous to the owners and occupiers of that part of the estate. He did not Wish to enter into the discussion 0 the question of warehouses; unfortunately this was li!:ely tor be a source of severe and bitter contention in parliainent a And he, for one, should be glad if it did not turn out to be the'ine dim of severe injury to the port. But though he did that, be did not wish the interests of any other parties to be str:rificed by an act of the council; for he did think they had already done sufficient injury to the interests of other parties W;thout doing further injury to the interests of individuals. (Hear.) He would then submit a motion, "that the proceedings of the Fiz mince Committee be confirmed, with the exce;ition of that patt which relates to an application from Messrs. Challouer and Houghton,to be permitted to erect offices on land near the Queen'a Dock; and that that application be submitted to the reconeiP deration of the committee." Mr. Councillor DUNCAN seconded the motion. Mr. Councillor CURRIE rose, but was interrupted by The MAYOR, who observed, that as there might be. other' amendments moved on the finance committee's proceedings, it would be better that it should be understood that Mr. Birch's was an amendment on the original motion, that gentlemen who had amendments to move might he satisfied that they would not be precluded from moving them after Mr. Birch's had been dis posed of. It did not get rid of the finance committee proceedings. Mr. Councillor CURRIE was quite aware of that, that it only got rid of that particular in the finance committee proceedings, and that afterwards any other amendment might be discussed on its own merits. The MAYOR only made the remark, as he saw one gentleman rather uneasy. Mr. Councillor CUR R lE.—" I dare say he will not lose his op portunity." (A laugh.) The council would be aware that some time ago it had been determined to lay out money in the improvement of George's Dock, to the east of Salthouse Dock, and to the east of King's Dock, and that there should be an ar cade around those ducks. With respect therefore to coming to the decision which the finance committee had done, they had only adopted what they considered it their dut r to do, to provide that arcades should be gone on with. He did not know that arcades would be consistent to other buildings than warehouses, but he understood that it was not the intention t. , Asolve the lessees from the erection of them, but that arca , es k.hould be erected. Mr. Councillor Bot. Tots said, in reference to what Birch"' had said, he might further state that severe! individuals had lost their lives by being exposed to the danger of loading and unloading carts from warehouses. Mr Harrison had lost his brother, and Mr. Harvey a niece, by the falling i:f goods err this part of the property adjoining the docks. It therefore very necessary for the safety of life and limb that a: eades should be erected, as such a protection as ought to be nude for the public. The TOWN-CLERK said, his impression was, that the corpora tion was bound to maintain the arcades; at least to provide that they should be maintained. The Town-clerk then referred to the dock act, and read the clause referring to the point, from which it appeared, (after reciting that it tr:9 a -necessary pro tection for the security of persons passing from the accidental falling of goods hoisting in and out of the warehousee,) "that it should be lawful at any time hereafter, to make, erect, and form, to the warehouses hereafter to be erected arcades similar to the arcades now erected fronting to the said docks; and that arcades so formed should for ever remain open and be kept in good condition." . Mr. Councillor Birch.--Ifterhaps the Town-clerk will say th at is compuls o ry up on th e cou n c il ; the words of L b. a ct are, ' may be lawful." theTth. o e uti lklt il y w o ce tt a s id ai s d a , yitwwhaesthaedrmtihteteydwotoulbdeaodtmiliigt a i t t o t r a y h ; e p a e h r l h i a g ps a. tory Mr. Councillor COOGAN could not say how they could en tertain the proposal of Mr. Birch He had entered into a com ment on the persons taking land of the common council, who in so doing were restricted to erect warehouses with porticos, and called upon the council as an act of justice that those indi viduals should be released from their covenant, because if car ried into effect that would be injurious to their interests. This was a matter ab& - tit which probably a great many individuals en tinedtwaeeir Ir t a ea lny al o d pssa i sn ff pwsa e piaa r etsi e a,i n itranoe t ddti r i ev p i i i hrdd n aeai i sts o a: i tii i uhsn s :e . ds et phda ß reloiy u i yini t owsd e pei y ea: ice e roi n i nsti aai om s )en u fae p atne l bs i t, o ei. td s ec i er n ,orre g udhwn i eh t eiyen: wt h o ot ee u o,rr l ,ee d rtrehn e eveco n jytt. - ... nu l se t o w u a s r l e y h . certain of gaining their cause. If they were defeated, those in dividuals could then proceed in their i egular career, and act in accordance with the covenant entered into; but till' then, ho' conceived they could not rescind any contract entered into fur a specific perr , se, till they could prove that the oarties were likely to be injured. Let the question be discussed, and gained, and then let Mr. Birch bring forward this measure. He' had no doubt it would be listened to by the council, as to the line of conduct they should adopt. The 'DOWN -CLER K said, he had considered the terms of the section of the act of parlianeeete of which he had a general: recollection Before he could say that the council had the• power of releasing the covenant under this lease, he should' go. into the inquiry as to what had been done by other parties. It appeared to lion that the lease bad been pursuant to some . general understanding, according to which arcades were to be erected for the general convenience of the subject. He there fore proposed that he should be allowed to inquire into the subject, and report to the Finance Committee, or to the council. ( Hear, hear.) The Mon.—Perhaps Mr. Bi rc h wou ld mo dif y hi s resolu tion, to De ferred back to th e Fi nance C omm i ttee to report ? Mr. C BIRCH said he could have no objection. As to the observations of Mr. Currie about the building of arcades, . it was quite clear they were necessary. Whet the la irties wished was to he released altogether from the obligation of building warehouses, but to merely build offices. Mr. Councillor Discae. as the seconder of Mr. Bilth's motion, also consented to withdraw it. Mr. Alderman EVANS next rose. He said, I wish to get up on the subject, though it is referred to the Finance Committee. But I do not wish that the public should remain under the im pression that this hips been dune in consequence of the late proceedings of the Dock Committee. This land has been in possession of the parties a great number of years, and they have' never built warehouses upon it, and have had no inclinat:ore whatever of doing it. The last renewal was in 1831. They never had it in contemplation to build warehouses there. That - . part of the town has been long abandoned for warehouses. And. with regard to giving up arcades, we also know that they a: e•e• given up at the King's Dock, 111 r. Montgomery getting, not only to build up the arcades, but to fill up another, which is , there now no longer. Now this has nothing whatever to do with the dock question, but it is no doubt deemed by the party. a very good opportunity to get that end accomplished under the, umbra—under the shade of this question which they have been, desiring to do for a number of years. Therefore it has nothing to do with the question. But let me observe, that we have the member for Castle-street Ward getting up in his usual and professing that be was not wishful to cast any imputations, , ' or to make any observations on the subject; but, from the school question up to the one now before the council, I do say that this council has received more aggression —more aspersion y r --- nriilaei l iy ,_ e o : r zt, d pil, e :i r rt i : i o l sh g tne o itte : el:ciitecivit i le: i ii : .:ief s seea u tsditt l oiy t itoi — ;:hf ( f ltoss r ,henei, o ev i aNe n t:l)r)op i es h esti a .nesr t aiohdon.o F tazoty e s): h u i:ei t lu l liau e tend m has,oesti a 7i to l acti, (nar.; t iee, t n i zo a ntl ? ;tv.rhidhleilue f s i arm it :t i r: l il n lu—ithtni a yeeco n —rain the ta a " warehous e with .had decided upon it, the gentleman renews it under the f neteuce • paving the way, of another motion, passes the most severe denunciations upon us, as doing evil, as doing wrong and injustice, and as • great degree, to tho destruction of the town.
