They have also purchased from other parties, making the whole quantity held by them about 110 acres. The frontage on the Seacombe side is in private hands.

For the first time since the days of the Commonwealth, and in a reformed Parliament, too (!), we had exhibited to us the spectacle of a majority of 232 members sitting sul kily upon the ministerial benches, ready, like beaten hounds, to obey their master, and to record at his bidding an opinion to which most of them in their consciences objected. Openly, glaringly, this was done. It was known to every man who witnessed the proceedings of that night—to the loungers in the lobbies, and tile very door-keepers in the house, —that, of the poor cowed creatures sitting at the back of the Treasury benches, with all the pomp of station, and the pretence of deliberation, not one in ten was permitted to have a will of his own upon the subject under discussion ; that they had, on that very morning, been lectured and threatened by the minister with his severe displeasure in case of their presuming to think or speak for themselves; that, in a word, they were as completely his—chat tels, goods, things —as the tables and chairs in his house in Chesham-place, whence they had just come, after submitting their necks to bondage. Happily, we have not b een l e f t t o i mag i ne thi s scene, so humiliating and disgraceful to Whiggery. A graphic description of it is given in a letter in the London Times, by a member who was present on the occasion, and to which we alluded last week. With a few honourable exceptions, these in tensely-disgusted gentlemen managed quietly to swallow their feelings—to eat their leek--and, were sumers would be very materially increased by the distance, inland, of the locality in which it is pre sumea the stock would be located, and the large area over which it would be spread. Mr. Bendel, the engineer of the Birkenhead works, in his evi dence given'on the North Docks' Bill, not only contemplated the extension of the stock of floated timber as far as Poulton Bridge, but even to inun date the marsh lands above for the purpose. The task of making a proper selection at such a distance and in such a rough locality, and of bringing it over to Liverpool, would be no small joke ! With respect to the comparative advantages of the north over the existing locality of the timber trade, so far as regards the cost of its transmission to the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, a very striking fact was urged by Mr. Bramlev-Moore, and confirmed by Mr. Rankin and Mr. James Smith. Of the timber at present forwarded to these districts, it was estimated that 75 per cent. at present is forwarded up the river, and 25 per cent. by railway and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. In cartage alone to the terminus of the Canal station, in Old Hall-street, the cost to the trade is put down at £60,000 per annum, an amount which in five years would pay for the entire north docks. The per centage, Mr. Smith informed the committee on thebill,was 3- per cent. upon the,piece of colonial timber. We have already referred to the saving in cartage which would accrue by the canal being brought into connexion with the timber yards and floats at the north, a saving which would be shared by the ratepayers of the town, in the re duced wear and tear of their highways ; and there would be an equal saving in the cartage of the sup- We have en requ m fur :in; recet Lowe is f ~11~.

But it is almost idle to reply to the arguments adduced in • favour of the present locality of the trade in the south, from the fact that no sufficient means can be devised there to meet the increasing requirements of the trade. The nature of the sur face at the south end of the present docks, which is on a steep slope, forbids further extension in that direction, either of yard space for storage, or of docks. It is true that the Herculaneum Dock might be added to the existing amount of water space; but the site upon which it is to be formed is at present covered over with piled up timber, which cannot be removed for the want of other storage room ; and although the Dock Committee have expended a large sum in the necessary plant, &c., for its formation, not a pick or a spade can be got into the ground. Besides, such extension would involve an increased amount of cartage upon every load of timber sent off either by canal or by railway; the cartage to the Wapping Station of the London and North-Western Railway being felt as a serious expense, even at present. In this respect the south is under serious disadvantages as compared with the north, which has both railway and canal accommodation with all parts of the northern and midland counties of England. We would particularly direct the timber trade, who seem of late to be losing sight of the advan tages, as proved before Parliament, of a project which two years ago- met with their general appro val, to one important consideration, which the north locality possesses over any of its competitors. We refer to the fact, that the property available for nutty space, storage, yards, and other purposes connected with the timber trade, is vested in the hands of one public body, by whom it cannot be legally worked to forward any other interests except those of the public at large. The area of the whole space of upwards of 300 acres, at present in course of formation, for the accommodation of the timber and shipbuilding trades, was estimated by Mr. J. B. Hartley, before the parliamentary committee, to cost .€352,917, or about 4s. Id. per yard. In order to provide for contingencies, take the price in round numbers at ss. We have, then, a rental for floatage and land-storage space of 3d. a yard, for which Mr. Bramley-Moore stated in his evidence that it would be let to the trade. This low charge, let it be borne in mind, would be a permanent one. It would not, like that for the land of private individuals, be advanced when the increase of the trade created a demand for it. Much more ,ikely than such an advance would be a reduction, as the result of an active business. Contrast this with the prices paying at the south end. Mr. James Smith, when examined before the committee on the bill, said, " I have 5000 yards of land for which -I pay Is. 6d. per 'ard per annum. 5000 for which I pay Is. 3d., 5000 _, and 12,000 or 13,000, which is at a greater distance from the Brunswick Dock, and conse quently a heavier cartage, that we get at Bd. per yard. We have another plot of about 13,000 yards that does not cost us so much."

We are by no means, however, disposed to award the whole onus of this evening's disreputable pro ceedings to the government party. Most ably and effectively were they aided by the leading members of the Peel section of the house, headed by their leader himself, Mr. W. E. Gladstone being the only open deserter on the occasion. Mr. Cardwell's speech Was the best delivered in favour of the con tinuance of the squadron—plausible, ingenious, and clever. Further, however, in its praise we can not go. The subject would not admit of eloquence, or of an appeal to the higher feelings of our nature; for what is the object which the opponents of Mr. Hutt sought to uphold, and upon the maintenance of which Lord John Russell staked the fate of his ministry ? The continuance of national hypocrisy ! Yes, national hypocrisy of the grossest and most disgusting kind ; an hypocrisy which makes British philanthropy the scoff of the world ; the mainte nance of a policy, the perpetuation of which is al most enough to make the immortal advocates of a noble cause—the departed Clarksons and Wilber forces—turn in their graves. THE LATE FRAUDS ON THE HOUSE OF RATHBONE BROTHERS. What is this policy ? How are we at this mo ment carrying out our professions of humanity to wards the negro race? Whilst we are attempting, by means of our cruisers in the African seas, to put clown the slave trade, we are encouraging the slaver and the slave planters in Cuba and the Brazils, by receiving the produce of their unholy traffic. Since we opened our market to slave-raised produce, the importation of Africans into these countries has confessedly increased, notwithstanding all the vigi lance of the African squadron. Up to the passing of the bill by which slave-grown sugar was admitted to compete with the produce of tree labour in our own colonies, the accursed trade in human flesh and blood was notoriously and rapidly decreasing. Since we opened our markets to that produce, the slave has been submitted to a harder and more cruel bondage. It has been made cheaper to " use him up," to shorten the duration of his life by verer labour, than .to cherish and sustain it by more lenient treatment. Previously he was being regarded as a human being, valuable to his owner, and therefore to he cared for tenderly. We are told by ministers, that by withdrawing the African squadron the national honour would be perilled, If to retire from the effort to raise the condition of CONCERT the African, and to put down slavery throughout the world, be to forfeit the national honour, we say boldly and advisedly that it has been forfeited already. We are at this moment, r:ith respect to this object—for which we have made such heavy sacrifices of blood and treasure, to ad va nce which we have expended millions wrung from the hard toil of a suffering people, and ruined the finest co lonies which ever a nation possessed—the very scoff and byewords of the world. British philanthropy ? The imposition of an extra halfpenny upon a pound of sugar and treacle has long ago scattered it to the winds.

The chairman entered into a lengthened statement of the clauses of the bill, drawing particular attention to two of them, which, if passed in their presentshape, would havethe effect of preventing any gentleman or farmer in the ..re ,e ex tensive premises of Messrs. Wood and Westhead, of Man chester, one of the oldest and most extensive houses in the Manchester trade ; and we have pleasure in referring to the testimonial which our townsmen. Messrs. Milner and Son, have received from Messrs. Westheads of the value of Milner's Safes. These repeated evidences of the practical utility of these securities, bringing their contents unscathed out of destructive fires, must be as gratifying to the patentees as they are serviceable and convincing to the public. In the case alluded to, a large house lose their stock (£lOO,OOO in value) and premises by fire, yet, having used due precaution, and secured their stock by insurance and their books in these safes, are now carrying on their large business in new temporary premises as ac tively as ever. Unless they had taken these prudential dred of West Derby fro - m selling either a horse Trcattle - of any description in any other place but the market speci fied in the bills (with the exception of their own premises,) under a penalty of 10s. The bill had already passed the House of Commons, but it had been done so quietly that the parties interested were not aware of the extraordinary powers contained in it, as it was represented to be merely a bill for the purpose of raising further capital to enable the company to enlarge the market. But, the chairman's attention having been drawn to the subject, it was found to contain a clause giving the company power to include the whole of the Hundred of West Derby in their penal enactment, not only preventing a farmer from buying or selling cattle at his own door, but infringing upon the rights of the ancient markets in the Hundred. Mr. Townsend, of the firm of Mallaby and Townsend, solicitors for the bill, with a deputation from the Market Company, were in attend ance, and explained the nature of the objectionable clauses, offering to meet the opposers of the bill, in order to modify them, but nothing less than their entire with drawal would be listened to. After a long discussion, in which the new powers sought by the promoters o f the bill were unanimously condemned, a petition to the House of Lords, praying to be heard at the bar of the house in op. position to the clauses, was agreed to. It was also deter mined to send copies of the petition to the overseers of all the townships in the hundred for the purpose of pro curing signatures, and that the chairman be appointed to convey the petition to Lord Stanley for presentation, and to obtain the assistance of counsel to oppose the bill. A committee was then formed to further carry out the views of. the meeting and solicit subscriptions to defray the - expense of the opposition, and, after a tote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. Latien these pru.- measures, what a different position they would have been in. " What is the difference, my lord," said a pert sub altern, the other day, to a certain dignified maker of jokes —" what is the difference between an ass and an arch bishop ?" A pause ensued. "Do you give it up?" " I give it up," quoth the di gn it ar y. " W e ll, t h en , , ' quoth young flippant, " it is that the ass's cross is upon his back, while the archbishop's lies upon his breast." " Good indeed ; but let me ask in return" continued his grace, " what is the differe nce between an ass and an officer — say, in the army ?" A longer pause ensued. The sub altern gave it up. " I protest," quoth he, " I cannot make it out. The difference ?—the difference ?—No, cannot see it!' " Neither can I," said the grave Arch- Prelate ; and, turning on his heel, left the malapert querist to meditate upon a distinction without a difference. THE HORSES OF NEW Yong.—The Londoner, who in his complacency brags of the carriages and horses of his native city as the finest in the world, should go to New York to learn wisdom in coach-horse-flesh. There he would see many a pair sold for six hundred dollars that a duke would be glad to get for as many guineas. You can scarcely find a carriage horse that is not a beauty ; and they exhibit all varieties of beauty, from the blood ches nut colt, a-fire in every, muscle, yet gentle and tractable amid a crowd of vehicles, to the heavy grey, sixteen-and a-half hands high, firm as a statue, travelling on with a majestic action and a steady pace. A lover of the noble animal on arriving here congratulates himself on having reached the paradise of horses and horsemen, until he resides long enough to require a mount, when the mys tery is explained. He finds that all the best horses in the country are trpintd to hnruess, and that a good saddle beast is for a gentleman the work of a month to lad.--for a. lady a very phoenix.--Frozer's Idragazine4 It will be recollected that at the April Borough Sessions of 1849, John Meiklejohn, head warehouseman to Messrs. Rath bone Brothers, was found guilty of having defrauded his em ployers of various amounts of money. He was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, and at the expiration of the term to pay .4'200, or be further im; , risoned until that amount should he paid. The term of his incarceration expired on the 4th of January last, and the £2OO was ►aid. Through the instrumentality of Kehoe, one of the detective force, it came to the knowledge of Messrs. Rathbone that Meikle John possessed property to between .t'3,000 and £4,000 invested in various public societies and companies, and through their attorneys they sued him in the Court of Exchequer for the recovery of the property which they could prove they had been defrauded of. Meikie John allowed judgment to go by default. and yesterdy a Sheriff's Court was held in the Grand Jury-rooms, before Mr. Aston, barrister, to assess the amount. Mr. Crompton, Mr. Paget, and Mr. Rushton, barristers, con ducted the case for the plaintiffs. Mr. CEOMPTON, at very considerable length stated the case to the jury, and went fully into the whole circumstances of the frauds carried on by the prisoner, which are already known to the public. He could, in addition to the amounts which would be proved before the jury, shew a vast number of frauds the expense and difficulty attendant upon which had induced the plaintiffs not to bring them forward. Upwards of sixty witnesses were examined, whose evidence fully established the statement made by the learned counsel. It was proved that at the time the defendant was arrested upon the criminal information, although his wages for the greater portion of the time he had been with Messrs. Rathbone had been but 235. per week, one year 275., and never more than 305., he was possessed of property to between .e3OOO :and .'4OOO invested as before stated. He held 2100 shares in the North Britain Loan Society, of which society he had for a number of years acted as chairman of the directois he had sixty-five £lO shares in the Apothecaries' Hall; thirty shares in the Manchester, Chester, and Liverpool Fish Com pany; he was possessed of a coasting trade, and owned several substantial and valuable dwelling-houses in Hill-street, in the Park. The amount of property proved before the jury was £2065 16s. 11d., for which sum they made their aw_rd. MRS. M`DOUGALL'S GRAND MISCELLANEOUS Mrs. M`Dougall made an appeal to the public last evening, at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. A cordial response was given on the part of the public, the large room seldom having contained a greater number of persons on any similar occasion. The artistes were, besides Mrs. M'llougall, Mrs. G. Holden, Mr. Blewitt, Mr. T. M. Bednall, the members of the Apollo Glee Club, &c. The selection was good, and the several parts were executed in a style which gave universal satisfaction. Mrs. M'Dougall sang the Wanderer" in an unaffected and simple style, which called forth an encore, to which she re sponded, by favouring them with a lively composition. This was given with the utmost spirit and good taste; her execution was deservedly rewarded by hearty applause. Mrs. G. Holden sang the winning melody, Norah, my dear 1" with exquisite feeling; and Mr. Blewitt produced immense sensation by his rich humour in " Courting is very, very charming," and "Two Strings to my Flow." A splendid bit of instrumental perform ance was contributed by Mr. Sheppard (flute), MasterJ. H. Shep pard accompanying on the piano -forte. This young gentleman promises to excel in the profession to which he has so early become connected; his execution had all the boldness and finish of a matured hand. "The White Squall," by Mr. T. M. Bednall, was well received. In consequence of the absence of one of the persons whose name appeared in the programme, this gen tleman vo'unteered the popular song--" The death of Nelson," which was given effectively, and received with loud applause. We were not able to remain longer than to the conclusion of the first part of the performance —a circumstance which will account for the omission of a notice of the second portion. The concert gave universal satisfaction. LATEST INTELLIGENnE. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) London, Monday Night LOSS OF A STEAMER.—DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE. Considerable sensation was excited at Lloyd's to-day. by the announcement of the loss M a large steamer, sup posed to be the Royal Adelaide, belonging to the City of Dublin Steam Navigation Company. She was one of the most powerful steamers plying between London and Cork, and left the latter port on Wednesday last, being due in London on Saturday last, but was not heard of till this morning, when the captain of the Malcolm Brown, screw steamer, which arrived last night from Guernsey, reported that on Sunday morning, about nine, when off the North Foreland, the weather being very stormy, the wreck of a large steamer was discovered on the Tongue Sands, her stern completely gOne, also her masts, funnel, and every thing swept clean off, and not a soul to be seen on board. Her name could not be made out, and it was evident she was fast breaking up. There had been a heavy gale dur ing the previous night. It is probable the steamer struck on the sands about midnight, and that every body on board perished. A subsequent communication announces that the sup posed number of crew and passengers on board was nearly two hundred. Two bodies have been washed ashore. OVERLAND MAIL. BOMBAY, MARCH 2ND.
