His lordship ought not uch a mistake on this great tea-drinking I auestion. to ma When we remarked last weelr upon the state- ment of the accounts of the working of the Albert Dock warehouses, as given by Mr. Henderson in Council, our object was to elicit some informa atisfactory than the conflicting opinions which appeared to prevail, as to the profitable character of that establishment. We had only Mr. Henderson's figures, and his remarks respecting them, to go upon ; and we do not see how, from those figures, any other conclusion could be come to than that which we formed, viz.—that the ware houses were not remunerative to the Dock Estate. We have now another statement before us, furnished in accordance with a motion of the Dock Commit tee, apparently with a view to remove the im pression conveyed by Mr. Henderson's statement; and intended to shew, whether satisfactorily or not our readers must determine, that the warehouses in a per tentage of eight per cent. tion more ion are payin, upon the cost of their construction.

AUSTIN, Principal General Off Albert Dock War 31st Janitary, 1848 We must express our wish that the account now furnished had been more explanatory and less liable to the same objection as that which we com mented upon last week. Moreover, it is a pity that the account, as furnished by the committee for the half year, is, in our minds, quite irreconcileable with the account now furnished for the last three months of that half year. In the first item it will be seen that the account gives, as the " amount received on account of rent on goods from 25th September inclusive " to 24th December, the sum of £4,608 ls. 6d.; and as " outstanding, ac crued since 24thDec."—(the italics are not our own) —a further sum of £4,742 ls. 5d.; sheaving the total earnings for the quarter to have been £9,350 lered, that, , in the account against which we last week objected, it was stated by Mr. Henderson, and not denied, that the amount set d vn as "received and outstanding on the 25th December, included the receiptss - in part of the outstanding debt and the remaining portion of that debt itself. The present account, undoubtedly, gives us the outstanding only as " accrued since the 35th September "—as strictly earned in the quarter. But with respect to the amounts " received," there is nothing in the face of the document to satisfy us that it does not in clude all payments during the quarter, whether of previously outstanding debts, or of rent earned during the quarter. Should it he the case that of this £9,350, set down as the rent for the quarter, any portion consists of monies p a id f or rent pre- 1 left ou viousiy earnea ah, —standing, it will make a very material difference in the estimated balance of P• rofit The same remarks apply to th e s t a t ement of accounts from 24th December to 24th January. We are not assured that the sum of £1,567 2s. 4d., - Ivecl during the month, does not include pay on account of debts left outstanding on the )4th December. _ _ --- When we examine the details of the accounts closely, we cannot but feel convinced that such a mistake has been committed ; and that the sum set clown as received does include payments so made. Thus we find that on the 24th December there was a total amount for rent outstanding of f 6968 12s. 4d., and a further amount accrued in January of £2,218 16s. 7d., making together £9,187 Bs. lid. Yet we have the total amount outstanding given us on the 24th January, as only £7,658 28, 10d, There must, therefore, evidently THE LIVERPOOL STAIVDAItIi. have been a liquidation during the month of Jan uary to the extent of £1,529 6s. id.—the difference between the two amounts. If the committee's ac countant had assured us that this sum had been separated from the receipts, there would have been no ground for observation. But there is a further circumstance which calls for remark. The account for the half year, it will be remembered, gave the earnings and out standing on rent account at £13,600 ; and of this it has been understood that a sum of upwards of "3,000 of previously outstanding rent had been -1 ” - included, leaving the actual rent for erroneous) the half year somewhere abo"ut £lO,OOO. Now, it is a little singular, and only accounted for on the supposition of a similar error having been com mitted, that the rent for the last three months should be £9,350, or within a few hundred pounds as great as the total rent of the half year. The one or two additional warehouses open in the last three months could not make the difference; and, if it is urged that the business of the docks had sustained so rapid an increase as to produce such a result, we can only hope that so gratifying a business will continue permanent. The estimate given in the memorandum at the foot of the statement, we must submit, appears to us extremely fallacious in its principle, as shewing not what the warehouses are, on the average, likely to pay, but what they would pay if they continued full as at present. The committee tell us that the rent on the goods which they held on the 24th of December last would amount to £685 16s. 9d. per week, and multiplying that sum by 52, and adding an item for yearly rent on rums, they assume the probable annual rent to be £35,937 Os. 4d., which would pay, it must be acknowledged, a very hand some interest upon the capital embarked. But what was the peculiar feature with respect to these warehouses on the 24th of December ? We know that they were unusually filled—inconveniently so for working. The very quays, which were to have been open for carts to approach the vessels dis- ith produce. We have the reason for their being so unusually occupied from the Dock Chairman himself. On Wednesday last, he stated, in his place in the Council, that " there is merchandise lying in the Albert Dock at the present time on which actually £107,000 remains unpaid; and unless the trustees go to Parliament to amend that act, that amount must remain unpaid so long as the owners of this mer chandise desire to let it remain there." Now, take this £107,000 to have accrued upon an average freight of £5 per ton, which is perhaps beyond the mark, it represents merchandise to the extent of 21,400 tons, the bulk of which would probably never have come there had the existing system not afforded facilities for their placing it in pawn, and spared the importers the necessity of making prompt pay ment to the shipowner. The chairman evidently contemplates seeking for powers to compel removal and payment; and, when such powers are obtained, a large portion of this produce will no doubt go at once into consumption, and cease to be tributary to the warehouses revenue. It is not, therefore, very fair to take the condition of the warehouses on the 24th December as the foundation of an estimate for a year. Put out of the estimate two thirds of this 21,400 tons, thus, as is admitted, oppressively pledged by the importer to evade the payment of his just debts, and we shall probably arrive at something approaching to what ought to have been our prospect of remuneration from these warehouses. Or if it is presumed that they are likely to remain nearly filled up as at present, we ought to have an account on the debit side of the balance sheet of the salaries and wages going on whilst the various employees,—warehouse-keepers, clerks, porters, lumpers, coopers, &c.,—will have little else to do than to look at each other. UNPROFITABLE RESULT OF THE COTTON MANUFACTURE IN 1847, AS COMPARED WITH PREVIOUS YEARS. We gave in our last the statistics of the cotton manu facture for the past year, so far as regards the amount of goods imported, in comparison with the exports of the preceding year. These statistics exhibited a falling off most considerable in its extent, and significant when viewed in connexion with the policy in which the country has re cently embarked. In the important article of cotton yarn, in which shape 116,512,874 lbs. were exported, or one third of the total manufacture, which is calculated by Mr. Burn in his Commercial Glance, to have been 336,512,637 lbs., we had a large decrease in the exports to no less than 24 of our chief markets, amounting in the gross to 41,288,944 lbs. ; and a small increase to only six markets, amounting in the gross to the inconsiderable quantity of 671,793 lbs. The return of our exports of more perfected manufacture shews a similar result, ; those to the United States exhibiting the only increase worth noting. It must be borne in mind, too, that, with respect to the monetary result of our shipments to America, a large por tion of which must have gone out on consignment, at the risk of the British manufucturer or merchant, we have been compelled to accept of remittances at a rate of ex change extravagantly high, and which will sweep away a large portion of the margin of profit, which might other wise have been secured, if not the whole of it, An ex change of three or four per cent above the ordinary rate is a heavy drawback against the reasonable mercantile profit, which alone we can expect to derive from a near market, in which we have to compete both with the fo reigner and the native manufacturer. Bad, however, as has been, the condition of the manu facturer, as shewn in the decrease of exports, and the compulsory resort to short time of working, it has been even worse considering the low prices to which all classes, but the spinner in particular, have been compelled to submit, as compared with those of the raw material. In proof of this fact, we give a few data from the Glance. The prices of Upland, Orleans,. and East Indian cotton, in the last week of December of the two years 1846 and 1847, were as follows : _ _ __ • 1846. 1847. Upland Orleans Madras and Surat 44d. 6d. ad. od. Thus we have a decline of 22d. per pound in Uplands ; in Orleans, the decline was 2td. to 1-. 1 2 11 ; and in Madras, of 1111. per pound. The prices of water twist at the same dates were— 'os. 6 to 12 common seconds . best ditto . 40 common seconds . 7, 77 best ditto..... Mule twist. 6to 12 common seconds . 7, 1 , 9 best ditto . 40 common seconds . 77' 79 best ditto 80 common seconds „ best ditto 1846. 1847, Sd. 6d. 61d. 14d. 110. 151 d. 121 d. 1846. 1847. 70. sd. 9kd. 61d. 100. 71d. 11td. 9d. 19d. 14d. 22-0. 16d. At these comparative prices of the raw material and the manufactured article, it is well understood that the trade cannot be profitably carried on ; and a glance over the figures will show that the spinner's position at the end of the past year, with cotton nearly at its lowest point, had not been materially improved. It must be borne in mind, too, as against the spinner, that during the early portion of the year the price of the raw material was maintained without any corresponding advance in the price of yarns, and that at its close the yarn market exhibited a firmness, arising from more hopeful views of things entertained by shippers, whilst the cotton market was weighed down by extreme commercial pressure. A comparison of the circumstances of the trade of 1847 with that of 1844 will, perhaps, better show the extent to which profit has disappeared. In the last week of De cember, 1844, Upland cotton was id, to id—per lb., Or leans, id. to 11d.. and other American sorts id. to id. lower than at the corresponding period of 1847. At the same time the price of No. 40's common seconds water twist was ld. per lb., and of best seconds N. higher in 1844 than in 1847. The price of No. 40's mule was 11d. higher for common seconds and ld. per lb. for best seconds. The spinner, therefore, in December, 1847, was working with cotton from an eighth of a penny to a penny farthing per lb. higher than in 1844, and at the same time receiving from five-eighths of a penny to a penny three farthings less for his goods. The manufacturer of some description of cloths seems to have fared better than the spinner ; but the majority must have suffered severely. Thus a s 27 in. 72 reed printed cloth was worth, on the Ist January, ss. 9d..t0 6s. 3d. per piece, and on the 31st December 4s. 101 d. to ss. 3d. ; 9-Bths in same proportion. In shirtings, and especially those calculated for the China markets, the depression has been most severe. _ _ _ . We must repeat that our only reason for recur ing to this subject, and, as it may seem, question ing the accuracy of the principle upon which the statement above furnished has been drawn up, is to elicit some explanation which shall be satisfactory to the public. For ourselves, we shall be most happy to be convinced, if we have been starting .maginary objections We understand that the Lord Bishop of Chester will consecrate St. Paul's Church, Prince's Park, on Thursday, the 2d March. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a meet ing of the board, held on the 4th instant, Mr. David Rowland, jun., third officer of the Britannia, royal mail steam-ship, was found duly qualified for a first-class mate's certificate; and Captain Thomas Hawkins, late master of the Penang, of Liverpool, was found duly qualified to re ceive a first-class extra master's certificate. LONDON PROVISION WAREHOUSE.—The advertisement of Hamilton and Co., who have opened a provision ware house in Elliot-street, in the London style, appears in our first page. The superiority of the Wiltshire ham and bacon, and other southern cured provisions, is acknow ledged, and the means of obtaining them retail will be ad vantageous to the public. THE LATE FIRE IN UNION-COURT.—The following gratifying letter, which sufficiently explains itself, has been received by the parties to whom it is addressed : " Liverpool, 11th January, 1848. " GENTLEMEN,—We are desirous of conveying to you our bEst thanks, for the assistance afforded by you, and the men under your charge, on the occasion of the late fire in Union court, and for the order which you then ably maintained, thereby enabling the fire police the more efficiently to perform their duty.—We are, Gentlemen, your obedient servants, " GLADSTONE and CO. " To Messrs. Quick, Brown, Redin, Anders, Clough, Super intendents ; Messrs. Bibby, Chew, Rimmer, Inspectors Borough Police." IRISH BEGGARS.—Yesterday, no fewer than 15 to 20 natives of Ireland, of both sexes and of all ages, were brought before Mr. Rushton, being found begging in the streets. Mr. Gray attended for the parish. Most of them refused to be passed to Ireland, where there is now a poor-law provision for them, and were committed for a month, or, in some cases, a minor time to gaol. A few, who were real objects of parochial care, from long resi dence, illness, or other causes, it was agreed should be re- ceived into the Workhouse. 'Some of the cases were re ally pitiable and affecting ; and Mr. Rushton affectionately recommended them to Mr. Gray, but he expressed his determination to put down the systematic pursuit of street begging. LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.— The upper school of the institution resumed its duties on Tuesday last, on which day we were much delighted by the nume rous attendance at morning prayer in the lecture-hall of the college. The service was conducted by the Rev. W. J. Conybeare, the principal who, in point of health, has evidently derived much benefit from the Christmas recess and its accompanying cessation from duty. The part of the service chanted was done in a steady and reverential manner, one of the pupils presiding at the organ. It may not be generally known that the public have free admission to the lower gallery during daily morning prayer at nine o'clock. Upon enquiry at the secretary's office, we were informed that each of the three schools has an increase of numbers this half-year; a gratifying proof that the advantages of this valuable institution are deservedly appreciated. .....A0III ! ERY FROM AN OFFICE.—A young man, named Richard Chadwick, was yesterday charged, before Mr. Rushton, with having (with others not in custody) got into the warehouse of Mr. Adams, early on Friday morn ing, or late on Thursday, and robbing the counting-house of from £25 to £2B. It appeared that the parties had got within the premises, and secreted themselves. Some noise was heard, but no one could be found, and the par ties. no doubt to their own wish, were locked in. They had escaped by the jigger loft. Five drawers were found to have been forced. The prisoner had been employed on the premises, and was a regular hand at the employ at the time. It was proved that he had, after the robbery, deposited money for safety with persons in different parts of the town, in large amounts for a man in his circum stances. As further evidence was expected, on inquiries being made, the prisoner was remanded. ELECTION FOR SCOTLAND WARD. — Yesterday was the day fixed for the election of a gentleman to serve in the Council to the Ist of November next, in the room of the late Mr. Thornhill. The candidates were Messrs. Henderson (brother to the member for St. Peter's Ward), and Mr. Thomson, of Benson-street. Owing to the growing desire in the town that " tradesmen" should become the representatives of the burgesses, may in a great degree be traced the defeat which Mr. Arthur Hen derson has. on this occasion, experienced. For several hours after the polling commenced, the contest was both sharp and animated; the respective aspirants for corporate honours being within a few votes of each other, but towards the close of the day it became evident that the reform candidate--Mr. James Thomson—would be re turned ; as the sequel proved, he being elected by a At the close of the poll, the burgesses majoritirof ,ere addressed by the successful candidate, Mr. Smethers, and Mr. Danson ; after which the assemblage dispersed 1 if no political display had taken place. G OF PUBLIC HOUSES ON SUNDAY.—A public meeting was held last night, in the Wesleyan School room, Jordan-street, for the purpose of adopting a peti tion to Parliament, for closing public houses on the Lord's Day. The Rev.W. Elton, of Altrincham, A. Dun lop, Esq., and other gentlemen addressed the meeting. The Rev. P. M'Owan occupied the chair. The petition prayed that public houses might be closed from eleven on Satur day night until six on Monday morning. The prayer of the petition was grounded on the facts, that the sale of liquors on the Lord's Day exercises an injurious influence on the morals of the nation ; that several persons in the trade have desired to be relieved from business on that day ; that the servants employed in the traffic are deprived of the blessings of the Sabbath, whilst no class needs more its sanctifying influences; that the places for the sale of liquors on Sunday prepare a resort for the idle and worthless, who are allured thereby to crime, and that they form one great reason why working men are generally unable to provide education .for their children, who are not sent to the Sunday-school, but are taught evil and injurious habits. CLOsns It is most earnestly to be desired that a revival of in dustry should visit the manufacturing community ; but we fear much that no very early prospect of such revival is before them. The complete disorganization of our colo nial trade, and especially of the East Indian trade, must take time to pass away ; and, in the meantime, those countries. for whose trade we have bid so largely in our recent commercial policy, must exhibit a greater inclina tion for reciprocity in sacrifice than we have hitherto wit nessed in their conduct towards us. Moreover, we must be released, by a remodification of our currency system, from the constant liability to which we are now subjected, of seeing the fruits of the best directed enterprise swept away by monetary panics, which no one can foresee or provislo themselves against when they come, before pru dent men will enter upon operations in which their means will he removed very far from their ready grasp. A gradual improvement is all that we can at present look for. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.—No bulletin was is sued yesterday, but his Grace passed a quiet night on Sunday. LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY Our market was but moderately supplied with Wheat this morning, by land carriage samples from the near counties, and the condition of a large portion of the supply was very indif ferent. Although prices are not generally quoted lower, the trade was without animation, with a tendency downwards. Very few transactions took place in foreign Wheat, but previous rates were about maintained. There was an increased quan tity of Barley on sale this morning, the inquiry for the article was far from brisk and much of the supply remained unsold, though offered at a reduction of Is. per qr. In addition to the arrivals of Oats noted, several vessels have since come to hand from Ireland and our own coast, making a good show of sam ples, but little progress could be made in sales, at a decline of fully 6d. per qr. upon last Monday's quotations. Beans were Is., and white Peas 2s. cheaper. Grey and Maple Peas sup ported last week's prices. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. The supply of Beasts was large, and of tolerably good qua lity. The weather being very mild, trade was exceedingly slow. with no improvement on Friday's quotations. The number of Sheep was unusually small; the demand was also very limited. Some of the choicest Downs were readily sold at rather more money ; but other kinds cannot be quoted dearer. English Calves were very.scarce, but it was difficult to obtain any ad vance. Trade was dull for Pigs, owing to the mild weather; but, the supply being short, prices were not much lower. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY. The French rentes come rather lower from Paris. The fact, however, in the absence of any particular event which should influence prices, has produced no effect on the funds here, which are in a dull and passive state, dealers and speculators evidently waiting the promised demonstration of the financial situation which the Prime Minister has undertaken to afford shortly. We have Consols now at 89} to for money and time, which are a fraction lower for the account than the opening quotations. The transactions are upon the smallest scale. Reduced Threes we quote 89i to March Exchequer Bills, 255. to 30s. premium ; the June 28s. to 30s. PRODUCE.—MINCING-LANE.—The refined Sugar market has opened heavily to-day, and prices are with difficulty sup ported.—Cotton is very firm, and wears an improved appear ance. The speculative demand for native good ordinary Cey lon, which existed the last two days at 335. 6d., has caused holders of this description to be very firm ; and there appear to be but few sellers. COUNTY COURT OF CHESHIRE, Holden at lirkerthead Insolvency Court, befoi:e J. W HARDEN, This court was held on Saturday last, when seven peti tioners for protection came up for their first hearing. They were Richard Hale, John Robinson, James Thomp son, John Shakeshaft, senior, John Parr, William Thomas, and John Griffiths. In re Hale, Mr. Hilliar applied for an adjournment, for the purpose of enabling Use petitioner to amend his schedule.

In the matter of this petition, Mr. Greene, the insolvent's attorney, applied to his honour to fix a day for the final hearing. He stated that since the first hearing the insolvent had satisfied creditors to the amouttt of £3OO, including two who had obtained judgment against him in the Birkenhead County Court. His honour granted the application, and named the 7th March. Attorneys in court. Mr. Dunstan, Mr. Millar, Mr. Greene, and Messrs. Reade and Searle. The Rev. A.

So much for the expression of public opinion." T. BARNABAS SCHOOLS.-011 Sunday last two ser mons were preached in St. Barnabas church , by the Rev. T. Nol an , after which collections were m ade t owards liquidating the debt yet standing against the schools, when the sum of £35 was contributed. We have been much gratified by learning that the congregation of St. Barnabas have generously subscribed the whole amount (X 3000) required for the erection of their schools, and that nearly 700 children are receiving there a useful and scriptural education. The portion of the debt still remaining consists of an amount required for the fittings up and oth er ar ti c l es which could not be calculated on at the time, and which was originally £ 2OO , but has since been reduced. We are glad to find that (as may be seen by an adve r ti semen t) W. M, Fisher, Esq. has consented to deliver a popular lecture on the 3rd March, on astro nomy ; the proceeds of which will be devoted to the (we hope) complete liquidation of the remaining debt. The lecture will be illustrated by splendid diagrams, and a series of dissolving views of scriptural subjects will be introduced for the first time. We sincerely hope that this effort will be abundantly successful, for the schools have conferred the very greatest benefits on the crowded district in which they are placed, and the never-ceasing and affectionate exertions of Mr. Nolan deserve to be rewarded by the entire removal of the balance of debt. This action was brought for an alleged breach of contract. The damages were laid at .20. The defendant had paid £4los. into court, the amount admitted to be due to the plaintiff. The plaintiff was a young man who, on the 30th of September last entered into the service of the defendant, a grocer, in Great Honier-street, at a salary of .t'3o per annum, with board and lodgings. On the 12th of November, the plaintiff gave the de fendant notice to leave in a month, and on the 22d of Novem ber the plaintiff left his master's service for three hours, having previously received, as was averred, the defendant's permission. The morning afterwards the defendant, in the presence of a police-officer, tendered him his wages up to that date, and requested him at once to leave his service. The plaintiff refused the tender, stating that he was willing tore main in defendant's service until the expiration of the notice , on which the defendant stated that if he did not leave he would compel him to do so, and the plaintiff then left flub premises. Two master grocers were placed in the box, who stated that a month's notice_ on either_side was the custom of the tnde. NIr.'Bi.AIR, for the defence, contended that the plaintiff, , without permission, absented himself from the defend an t' s service on the 22nd November, and that, in consequence, he was at liberty at once to discharge him. The jury found a verdict for the defendant HUBERT V.

THE NEW GAS BILL The surveying officers appointed by her Majesty's Woods, Forests, and Landßevenues (G. B. Walley, Esq., barrister, and Samuel Clegg, Esq., civil engineer), to make preliminary en quiries with reference to the bill now before the House of Commons, having for its object the amalgamation of the two , gas companies, attended yesterday in the parish-office, Fen wsck-strfet. Mr. Carson and Mr. J. B. Lloyd, solicitors, appeared as pro moters cf the bill. The Town-Clerk appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Town Council of the borough. Mr. Reay appeared on behalf of the gas consumers of Liverpool, as a consumer himself, and also on th e part o f t h e Li v erpool Guardian Society for the protection of trade. Mr. CARSON then read a statement of the objects of the bill. A long discussion then took place as to the mode of pro ceeding; after which, Mr. CARSON proceeded to open the case on behalf of the promoters. He entered into a concise and luminous history of the progress of the companies, the nature of the opposition they had met with, and the reasons which had induced the two companies to seek the present amalgamation — a suggestion wiqich had emanated from theTown-Council—indeed, he might add that it was in accordance with their request; for they were of opinion that the effect of one company only having mains in the streets would enable the Corporation to effect a more com plete system of sewerage, which was much required on sanatory grounds, and also prevent the too frequent breaking up of the streets. He added, that in addition to the advantages to be derived to the public, the proposed system would have the effect of placing gas property on a more secure foundation, as it was only reasonable to suppose that the Town-Council would stre nuously oppose the establishment of a third company. After a short address from Mr. Lloyd, The Engineering Barrister proceeded to propound the first requirement : . "A block - plan, on a scale of not less than thirty inches to the mile, showing the site of the gas works, the mains and branch pipes, the position of each public lamp or burner, the oil lamps distinguished by the letter 0, and the gas lights by the letter G." Mr. Carson, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. King, and the Town.clerk, all replied that there was no such plan in existence; and Mr. Carson said such a plan would cost several thousand pounds, and would take at least twelve months to . make it. In answer to ieveral of the other requirements, Mr. Carson edneucnetsilary this todareyp.eatTike c A o t in fo m u i r ss o i ' o c n o'clock commissioner: propose to survey the works in the course o: to resume the enquiry at two o'clock. handed in a report of the last year's commissioners, and also a printed copy of the evidence then take n ; bu t this did not se em entirely to satisfy the commissioners, who proceeded t o exam i ne several witnesses on the subject; but as their evid ence di d not exhibit any facts beyond thos e so fully reported. at the last en the - ctuirY en' n ciu - e hy do v i a o s t a t d li j ionukr it the morning, Wila COTTON MARKET -Y ESTERDAY We really regret to have occasion to report agradually ad vancing cotton market, knowing, as we well do, that the posi tion of the trade is such that it cannot be responded to in the manufacturing districts.

He had been drinking freely on the day it is supposed he fell into the water. Yesterday, the Assessor in the Court of Passage, in directing the jury in a case which involved the alleged conversion of a winch worth only a few shillings, made some strong remarks as to the impropriety of occupying the court with such a tri fling dispute. Such a case, lie said, should be taken to the County Court, and some compulsory provision with that view should be adopted by the legislature.

The following is a copy of the memorial of the master porters to . the Town Council : That, by an arrangement of the Dock Committee, your memorialists were encouraged to take out licenses as mas ter porters, by which they were to be enabled to under take the receiving and delivery of the whole of the cargo of any ship for which they might be engaged. That upon the faith of such understanding, your me' morialists took out such licenses, and made contracts in volving considerable outlay ; that your memorialists, 0- 4 the condition of their conducting such porterage business on the dock quays, are made subject to the penalty of making good any loss in cargo which may occur; and In every respect by the security which they have to give, the importer is insured against loss, from the bad conduct 0 the servants engaged under them. That it appears to your memorialists that such guaran tee, gives by the master porters, ought to be sufficient for all the purposes of merchants and importers. Yet your memorialists have to complain that they are as a bodY proscribed, and prohibited from entering the Albert Dock and Warehouses. Your memorialists appeal to the work ing of the other docks, since the licensing system was adopted ; and fearlessly contend they can do the work 0' the public as cheaply as it can be done by any of the ser vants of the Dock Committee. Your memorialists therefore humbly pray, that until the above allegations are met by proof of their inability to perform the porterage of the port upon as reasonable terms, and as expeditiously, as the porters of the Doc]; Committee, your honourable council should suspend for the present your approval of any further extension of 0 system, which thus prohibits the master tradesmen of the, town from exercising their fair sha r e of the b us i n ess 0; the port. The representations of the master porters are entitled to every consideration, and we should be glad if their grievances could be redressed ; for all unnecessary inter ference with the business of tradesmen should be avoided• IMPORTS INTO LIVERPOOL FROM THE ENV OF JANUARY TO THE srn FEBRUARY.

The proclamation against vice and immorality having been read by the Clerk of the Peace, The RECORDER addressed the Grand Jury at some length. He said in effect that he found from the returns before him that there were no fewer than about one hundred prisoners for trial on this occasion. These cases had all been sent for trial within the short space of the forty-five days which had elapsed since the last sitting of the court. Large, however, as was the number 01 prisoners, it was not perhaps larger than might be expected, from the severity of the season, the want of work, and the distress that had prevailed amongst large portions of the working and poorer classes of the community. The cha racter of the offences generally with which the prisoners were charged was not very aggravated. He found but very few artisans or mechanics amongst those to be tried ; and from this fact it appeared to him that many of the unemployed workpeople had borne with exemplary patience and forbearance many sufferings and privations. Still, from the nature of the offences committed by those now in custody, it became natural to inquire how those on whom devolved the administration of the law for the prevoition of crime had executed their trust ; and he thought that all those who watched the proceedings of that court, would admit that every case that was brought be fore it underwent the fullest investigation, and that the offences proved were visited with adequate punishment. But it should be remembered that offences were committed which the law could not suppress, or even sometimes reach. The law could not of itself implant those true principles of morality and feeling which were the principal safeguard of society against vice and aggression. These could alone be disseminated by religious and moral instruction. He had lately seen a statistical table, show ing the deplorable condition of a large proportion of in habitants in Vauxhall Ward, and he had himself seen such a want of instruction in religious and moral princi • ples, amongst the poor in that quarter, as would be scarcely credible were it not known. Other parts of the town were no doubt nearly or perhaps as much debased. Again, they had had a constant and great influx from Ireland of per sons in a state of destitution and ignorance which rendered them quite unfit to mix with civilized society. He would ad vert to an instance in point. A young girl, whose name was in the calendar had left Ireland in quest of employment here ; her parents had died of fever; her uncle had paid for her pas sage, and she arrived in this town with but one shilling and sixpence in her pocket. On telling her story, she was fortu nate enough to get a place as a servant ; she was but a few days there when she robbed her master. It was then found that she was lamentably ignorant of all religious or moral principle. She had never been to school, or at any church or chapel. It was a difficult , consideration how to deal with such culprits. The law, however wielded, could not do all; neither could courts of justice, or gaols. Punishment must of course be in flicted, but much was wanting beside in cases so deplorable, in order, if possible (as we understood him to imply), to bring such offenders to a sense of rectitude of conduct, so that so ciety might not he affected by a continuance of their reckless conduct. With regard to the manner in which the grand jury should perform their duty, it would be superfluous in him to offer any remark to so intelligent a body, and he should there fore dismiss them to consider the bills that would be laid be fore them. The grand jury then retired, and in a short time several true bills were found. The trials were then proceeded with, but none of the details were of peculiar interest. The following was the result of the principal cases yesterday : Richard Colefield, 17, for stealing wearing apparel from Wm. Williams, in Liverpool, ten years transportation ; Ann Mack, 15, Wm. Handley, 16, for stealing boots from R. Davies, and John Jones, fora repeated thefts, ten years transportation. COURT OF PASSAGE. — YESTERDAY. (Before C. CROMPTON, EsQ., Assessor.)
