It is a melancholy fact, t thousands fall victims to the Ve . nereal Disease, owing to t e unskilfulness of illiterate men, and who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con. stitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the bead, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin hones, till l at leugth a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 25.91. and Hs, per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases,—gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, seminal weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, Incal 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 days. by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secresy, 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 unison,. purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They note 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 rennire no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of hnsiness, hot effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At 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, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies to those dreadful debilities arising from the ton 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, TiCcasioning, loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sures.

The following particulars respecting this unhappy man are communicated m a letter from the chaplain of the gaol, the Rev. W. Horner, to the Honourable and Rev. Horace Powys, Rector of Warring,ton: "1 have been with Lim many times to-day, and have taken down the few disclosures as to his wicked tife, 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 "lhey know to much of that already, I do not like that to be talked of.' In fact, 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 arbor 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 be deserves his punishment. "The following I save taken down as he spoke it. ' I wove at a hand-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 %ears old. I 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 %vaS from anything but drink. Had I followed going to church, it .would not have happened. About a year ago I was working at B o lt on an d l o d g ed with James 'kitchen, who advised me continually t o g o to church. I .promised him I would, but never went. I spent my time in roving 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 had 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 my duty to God, has led tne 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 hyoid drink, loose'company, and sabhath breaking. It may come to their hit 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, I humbly trust that God has accepted my rep e ntance for Jesus Christ's sake.' " William Hill," continues the chaplain, " has often ex pressed his full forgiveness of all who have injured him. He seems most unwilling that any one shonld bear the blame of his misconduct, which be considers as the natural consequence of a life of drunkenness and inattention to the worship of God. lie 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 Longchamps, the most striking novelty was the introduction of embroidere d muslin *tantelets, 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 fine embroidery, have also been much worn. These are folded cornerways, when worn, and are frequently seen over rose or gold-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 be more graceful than a fine figure, slightly concealed by the ample wares 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, hllt much more frequently embroidered, were see n i n 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 speaking, flowers'_ are worn as a trimming, rather than feathers ; and sometimes the whole bonnet is surrounded with wreaths of ivy, small roses, or forget-me-nots. The bonnets are decidedly smaller, and de scend low on the cheek; indeed, often below the chin. Leg horn and fine straw have been much seen. They are trimmed with spring 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 and shoulder, but much larger in the intermediate 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 hoots themselves exceedingly small at the point.

ROBBERY.—EarIy in the morning of Sunday last, 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 hothouses, and _took therefrom mote than one htindred pounds 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 injury was done to the vines, nor the houses, and it is supposed that the grapes were taken to be sold in the Birmingham or, Londou.market. Every effort has been made to discover the. thieves, but without effect. THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL FOR THE ne.VEPI7' OF MRS. WOOD.

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 keen 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 u.s to embody a greater share of such intelligence as may be generally useful, and to extend our reports of the. various public meet ings, (3-c., which may be held in the neighbourhood, as well as to present to our readers -a mass of amusing and instructive extracts from modern publications, which latter we intend to make a prominent feature in the STANDARD. It 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 extend4d patronage which we 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 MOriarchy, the Church, and the constitution of Great Britain. Are 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 Ail 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 JU NE, after which the LIVERPOOL STANDARD will contain TWELVE COLUMNS OF ADDITIONAL MAT TER PER WEEK, without any increase of price. eciit lLibcrpool ,il.tanZiarb.

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 l i 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 cvele of seven years : COMMITTALS FOR CRIMES. 1823....T0ry misgovernment 14,623 1830....ditt0, ditto 15,749 1837. Mulgrave tranquillity .. _27,396 An increase upon the first period of 1,162 An increase upon the second period of 11,602 " An aggravation tenfold 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. 1836 23,891 620 1837 27,398 722 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 relati 7e character 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. Taking 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 one-fifth 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 402,563, 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 c an 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 boasted "tranquillity" of Ireland ? Is not the falsehood of such a boast made evident by the returns published by the government itself? A few more such years a's the last will suffice to drive away the entire Protestant population of Ireland —the grand object of O'Connell and his protebit's. THE TOWN" COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.—The proceedings in the council Meeting on Wednesday last were a little more diversified than 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 stated that it "was the known intention of the promoters" of the measure of building warehou - Nes at the verge of Prince's Dock "t( extend'' Ilia principle to other Dock ,, . This is jno what we have all along suspected. Alter such an inti- motion, we are sure that no one will condemn the ware house owners for 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 medium of severe injury to the port." Of course the expense that will be entailed npon 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 !attached out into a violent personal 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. Bitch) delivered those aspersions in the tone of humility —nay, almost of intreaty— on th e S c h oo l 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 respecting,the Corporation churches be confirmed, Mr. Bolton embraced another opportunity for displaying his consummate ignorance, and his inveterate hatred iec 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 " organs 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 ? We apprehend not. If he will consult any tyro in Latin he w ill find that it means something cut off or separated from another. He ought to know that the • Church of England is the parent stern 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 rwmtamlNED THIEF.—On Monday, at the Police-office, a well known thief named M'Abeiy 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 wachman who hail knocked, and he told him that the prisoner had knocked a ma❑ down and taken a pair of trousers. Not liking to take him into custody on hear say evidence he let him go. After the prisoner was set at liberty he went up Park-lane after the man he had before knocked down, and knocked hint down again, and he then took him into custody. Mr. Hall—" Is the man here ?" Policeman—" No, Sir." A labouring man here stood up, and said, " Yes, I 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, whets the prisoner knocked him down, and took the trowsers from him. The officer stopped the prisoner, and he got his trowsers again. He was again pro ceeding up Park-lane, when the prisoner came up to him, and knocked hint down again, took away his hat and his neckerchief and 'ls. 6d. in silver, all of which be 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 trial. ROBBING A TILL—On Monday a young man, named Isaac Pierce, in the employment of Mr. Marrow, the keeper of wine and spirit vaults, was brought up. Mr. Alurrow stated, that the prisoner was employed by him at the vaults as a waiter, and on Saturday, he (complainant) sent a lemale . pith some marked money to get a gallon of gin, for the purpose of detecting the prisoner, whom he suspected of robbing his till. He marked three half crowns, and saw them in the tillabout 12 o'clock, after the wouia❑ had paid them. About half an hour afterwards, when he went to look in the till, he missed half a crown, one of the marked ones, and called in a policeman and gave the pis otter into custody. Police officer 131 stated that he searched the prisoner, and found El Bs. 6d. on his person in sNer, and amongst it a marked half crown. In his box he found aquan, thy more silver, and a brace of pistols. Mr. Murrow, 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 intelligepce, 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 15th 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 ROYAL.—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 I'alaiseau," 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 send you the following description," by Ninette, (Mrs. Wood,) La Roche. (Mr. Martyn,) and Delaude, (Mr. G. Horncastle). Mr. Martyn, though a wretched actor, possesses a good musical bass voice. Mr. Wood, as Adolphe , looked th e c h aracter ex tremely well. Mrs. Wood, as usual, sang charmingly. W e perceive that Mrs. Wood takes her benefit this evening, wi t h " Love in a Village," and other entertainments. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The entertainments in this highly popular arena increase every 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 rite rope. Mr. Hughes' delineation of the Homeward bound Indianian, which is really an Herculean task, was admirably performed; and his Polanders, is one of the 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 successful 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 amusement s who have not yet witnessed the talents of Mr. Batty's company, to ensure themselves that pleasure, at the earliest Opportunity. We understand that Mr. Batty takes his benefit on Monday nest, 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 LANCASHIRE 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 meeting, 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. Shvnn's advertisement. Jack's Coffee House is one of the most comfortable hotels in the town, and is second to none for covehient locality. Mr. Robert Al'Neill, son of R. Esq., of this town, was, on Thursday lart elected Scholar of Trinity College, Cam bridge. This gentleman was educated at our Royal Institution School,as was also Mr. J. H. Forsyth, son of Hamilton Forsyth, Esq., whose name recently appeared in the first class at the Classical Examination of the Bachelors of Arts in the same University. The unfavourable state of the weather is so inimical to the introduction of spring fashions, that some of the magazines say —•' for spring fashions see December." The Ottoman Porte has presented some gates for the Museum at Versailles which were made by the Crusaders, and belonged to the Hospital of the Knights of Rhodes, and also to a church attached to that hospital. The Hon B. Paget, brother of Lord Anglesey, is to succeed the late Mr. Plunkett as Chairman to the London Board of Excise. Mr. Berkeley Paget was for many years the confi dential aide-de-camp and friend of the late Duke of York. ROYAL PLATE CLOSET AT WINDSOR.—The royal plate at Windsor is kept in one tolerably-sized room and an adjoining closet, and is valued at 1.1,750,000 sterling! There is one gold service, formed by George IV. to dine 130 guests; some pieces were taken from the Spanish Armada, some brought from India, Burmah, China, &c. One vessel belonged to Charles XII. of Sweden, and another to the King of Ava; a peacock of precious stones, valued at £30,000; and a tiger's head (Tippoo's foot stool), with a solid ingot of gold tor his tongue, atid crystal teeth; numerous amid splendidly ornamented gold shields, one made from snuff-boxes, value 8,000 guineas ; and 30 dozen of plates, which- cost 26 guineas each plate. The magnificent I silver wine -cooler, made for George IV. isenclosed with plate_ glass; its superb chasing and other oinamental works occupied two years, and two full-grown persons may sit in it without in convenience. The Athenmum, of Saturday last, is printed on the kind of paper, with coloured threads inserted in the body of the sheet, recommended to be used tor post-oflice covers, in order to assist in preventing the forgery of them.

MAY 4, 1838 TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. On Wednesday last, a monthly and adjourned quarterly meeting of the council was held. The Deputy To svN-cLuita having read over the minutes of the last me e ti ng , p rocee d e d to read over the FINANCE COMMITTEE PROCEEDING!. Mr. Jordan, who has long been in a state of ill health, en tered the room, and his appearance was hailed with loud applause. It was resolved, that Lieutenant Lowe, the Government. Emi gration Agent, be informed that the committee regret, after every enquiry, not been able to find any engagemeut or under standing on the part of the council to induce them to accede to his memorial, and provide him with lodgings. An applicati on was rea d f rom M essrs. Challoner, praying to be exempt from the liability of erecting warehouses and arcades on the east side of Queen's Dock, on 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.hy the Committee. An application was made from the churchwardens and over seers or Si. 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 be granted. An application was made, relative to leave to make the improvements in a warehouse at the corner of Temple-court, which was recommended not to be granted by the committee. (We mention this, as it was afterwards the subject of a motion.) THE WAREHOUSE QUESTION. The MAYO R then inquired if it was the pleasure of the council to confirm the financecoininittee proceedings. Mr. BOLTON and Mr. BIRCH 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 certainly should h ave o bj ecte d , had he been present in commit tee at the time when it came under discussion.. He alluded le 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 which 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, and be permitted to erect other buildings on the land. It did appear to him that they could not, with any degree of propriety—he would sav even with any regar d f or common justice—enforce that-condk! tion 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, wno would think of erecting warehouses hem even if Ore land were given hint for nothing. (Hear.) He also thought the enforcement of these conditions as impolitic as unjust, for what would that be, but the forcible Cr-ation of a species of property which must ultimately be ruinous to the owners and occupiers of that part of the estate. He did no+. wish to enter into the discussion•o•! the question of warehouses; unfortunately this was likely tot be a source of severe and bitter contention in parliament, and he, for one, should be glad if it did not turn out to be the me dium of severe injury to the port. But though he did that, he did not wish the interests of any other parties to be sacrificed by an act of the eouncil; for he did think they had already done sufficient injury.to the interests of other parties without doing further injury to the interests of individuals. (Hear.) He would then submit a motion, "that the proceedings of the Fi nance Committee be confirmed, with the exception of that part which relates to an application from Messrs.. Challoner and Houghton,to be permitted to erect Offices on land near the Queen's Dock; and that that application be submitted to the reconsi deration of the committee." Mr. CounciHor DUNCAN seeoirded the motion. Mr. Councillor Cum' IE rose, but was interrupted by The Mayon, 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'a was an amendment on the original motion, that gentlemen who had amendments to move might be satisfied that they would not be precluded from moving them after ; Alt, Birch's had been dis posed of., It did not g e t r id o f t h e fi na n ce committee proceedings- Mr. Councillor CURRIE was quiteaware 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 Mayon only made the remark, as he saw one gentleman rather uneasy. Mr. Councillor Comm RIE.—" 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 Saltbouse Dock, and to the east of King's Dock, and that there should be an ar cade around those docks. .With respect therefore to coming to the decision which the finance committee had done, they had only adopted what they considered it their duty todo, toprovide that arcades should be gone on with. „lie did notknow that arcades would be consistent to other buildings than warehouses, hut he understood that it was not the intention to absolve the' lessees from the erection of them, but that arcades should be' erected_ Mr. Councillor Boi.Tota said, in reference to what Mr Birch' , had said, he might further state that several 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 of goods on' this part of the property adjoining the docks. It was therefore very necessary for the safety of life and limb that arcades should be erected, as such a protection as ought to be made for the 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 (lock act, and read the clause referring to the point, from which it appeared, (after reciting that it was a necessary pro tection for the security of persons passing from the accidental falling of goods hoisting in and out of the warehouse;) "that it should be lawful a t any ti me h erea f ter, to make, erect, .and form, tcrthe warehouses hereafter to be erected arcades similar to the arcades now erected fronting to the said docks ; -and th a t arcades eo formed s h ou ld f or ever remain open and be kept in good condition." . Mr. Councillor Birch.—Perhaps the Town-clerk will say that is compulsory upon the council; the words of the act are, "it may be lawful." The,M A YOR said, it was admitted to be obligatory; perhaps the rotincil would say whether they would admit it to be oblige= tory. hlr. Councillor COGLAN could not say how they could en tertain the proposal of Mr. Birch He bad entered into a com'- meat on the persons taking land of the common council, who in so4oing were restricted to erect warehouses with porticos, and called upon the council aswts 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 - Ana which probably a great many individuals en tertained different opinions. But even supposing is would en tail any loss on individuals, they were to consider whether they were in a position to rescind' any decision entered into previ ously. It appeared that the proposition of the council to e rect warehouses was to be discusied in parliament. They were nbt certain of gaining their cause. If they were defeated, those in dividuals could then proceed .in their regular career, and act is accordance with the covenant entered into; but till then, he conceiver! they could not rescind any contract entered into for a specific perpose, till they could prove that the parties 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 TOWN -CLERK said, he had consid ere d th e terms o f t h e section of th e act of parliament, of which he bad 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 hail been done by other parties. It appeared to him that the lease had 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 MAYOR.—Perhaps Mr. Birch would modify his resole-' lion, to be referred back to the Finance Committee to report ? Mr. Councillor 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. What the parties wished' was to be released altogether from the obligation of building: warehouses, but to merely build offices. Mr. Councillor DUNCAN, as time seconder of Mr. Birch's' motion, also consented to withdraw it - Mr. Alderman Evaas 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 has been done 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 inclination whatever of doing it. The last renewal was in 1834. 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 were given up at the King's Dock, Mr. Montgomery getting leave, 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 minner,, and professing that he was not wishful to cast any imputations, or to make an y o b servat i ons on the subject ; but, from the school question up to the one now before the council, I do self• that this council has ieceived mere aggression —more aspersion' —bordering on insult—from that gentleman than from any, other person. (Cries of " No, no.") Ido maintain it—heari the—that he delivered those aspersions in the tone of humility—' nay, almost of entreaty —on the school question. We are hare' taunted with one of the severest anathemas---(" Order")r—or" time warehouse question the other day; and, after this ccaincik had decided upon it, the gentleman renews it under the pretence of another 'notion, and passes the most severe denunciations upon us, as doing evil, as doing wrong and injustice, and as Paving the way, in a great degree, to the destruction of the town. (Cries of " Order," and confusion.) The MAYOR —Mr. Birch in explanation. Mr. Councillor Braces.—As to that—explanation 1 have none to give. It does seem an extraordinary attack, that any Ref son could charge me with insulting the council, when I think that my manner hiss never given any colour to it. Witlsres pect to my onmion on this question I have a right to entertain. it. Mr. Evans entertains his views; so do I : and if I think that thereby the council is unjust, surely it is not insulting Übe coun ' cil in my professing that opi n i on . Wi th regard to the parties. I do no t k now w h at t h e i r notion may be; I do not know them if meetin g them in the street; b u t I d o k now this, that t h e y hold th a t l an d on certa i n con di t i ons, and I do think that after the d ec i sion o f t h e council, that public w are h ouses s h o uld be built by th em , th a t we s h ou ld ma k e that allowance. It is on ly with th e v i ew o f gett i ng t h e counc i l out of an unjust act, 011,, without any of those objects to which Mr. Evans has alluded in a most extraordinary,—l must say its a manner that surprises me.—(Mr. Birch, who was sitting near Mr. Alderman Lynn b ti at the time, shortly aft er h e h a d sat d own, rose and too k is place at the other end of the room.) Mr. Councillor MORECROFT understood that the Finance Committee would have no objection to the party being released from the building of warehouses, if they only continued the ar cades. It would certainly he unsightly if they were permitted to build the offices and block up the arcades.
