G. W. Warr, incumbent of St. Saviour's, is to preach in this church, on Sunday morning next, in aid of the funds of the Gospel Propagation Society. The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, sister ship to the Atlantic, arrived in the Mersey from New York, on her first outward voyage, on Friday last, after a fine run of about twelve days fifteen hours— a very fair performance under the circumstances of a first trip, and one that will rank highest among the Atlantic achievements of American steam navigation. Daring her run the steam-ship encountered an almost unbroken succession of unfavourable winds, against which, how ever. she steamed at a high speed, covering on one occa sion the very unusurl distance of 309 knots in the space of twenty-four hours. From Cape Clear to Tuskar ran in ten hours and forty minutes, and entered the river, after a boisterous run up the Chan nei, shortly before seven o'clitck on Friday morning. The intelligence received by her was anticipated by our telegraphic report last week. CHORAL PERFORMANCE AT THE PHILHARMONIC HALL.—A grand choral performance of selections from ecclesiastical music took place at the Philharmonic-hall, on Tuesday evening last. The principal vocalists were Miss Stott, Miss Parsons, Miss Emma Stott, Mr. Joseph Robinson, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr, Yoaklev, of Dublin. The choir was composed of two hundred voices. Mr. Wm. Sudlowi acted as conductor, and Mr. W. T. Best presided at the organ. Many of the proprietors were present, and a large number of strangers availed them selves of the opportunity thus afforded of hearing some of the most admired compositions of the first professors, in a room which, for acoustic perfection and elegance, stands unrivalled. Mr. Best commenced by performing a concerto on the organ in the style of a finished artist, and all the performers acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of the audience. LUDICROUS FREAK. — Three men having spent all their cash in a certain public-house, near Oldhall-street, consulted as to the best means of " raising the wind." At length one said, " Put we into a sack and sell me for old rags and bones." The plan was immediately carried into effect. The man, tumbled into a sack, was placed in a carriage—vulgarly styled a wheelbarrow—and in a few minutes was set down at the door of a marine store dealer. This worthy was at his house adjoining, proba bly partaking of his dinner. The two rogues waited upon him, and upon their errand being told, and the probable weight of bones being stated, he promptly advanced them a shilling until the parcel could be weighed. By this time the sack had been put into the slings, and was on its way to the second story, where the cheat was dis covered, to the no small mortification of the dealer in rags and bones. The supposed rags and bones, for his share in the transaction, was left suspended between heaven and earth until he cried for mercy.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. The monthly meeting of the Town Council was held on Wednesday. The proceedings of the Finance Committee comprised a report, on financial considerations, as to the proposed es tablishment of an asylum for juvenile offenders, and a re commendation that Mr. J. Surr be appointed, during pleasure, to the situation of audit clerk in the town-dues office, vacant by the death of Mr. Lloyd, at the salary of £lOO per annum. The proceedings also contained a re commendation to the Council, founded on the report of the surveyor, not to sanction the erection of a temporary landing pier at the south end, in consequence of the ob stacles offered to it by Pluckington Bank. After some discussion, an amendment, moved by Mr. Mann, that that part of the proceedings referring to the landing-pier at the south end, was referred back to the committee, to confer with the Dock Committee. The rest of the proceedings were confirmed. The proceedings of the Courts of Law and St. George's hall Committee having been read, and their confirmation moved and seconded, a long discussion took place as to the cost of St. George's Hall, and on the desirability of the committee publishing a detailed statement of the ex penditure. Ultimately, Mr. BIGHAM moved that it be an instruction to the committee to furnish a statement of the amount already expended on St. George's Hall, the estimated sum which it will take to complete it, and the time when it may be expected to be completed, it being the wish of the Council to know when the building will be ready for public purposes. The motion having been seconded, was agreed to. The proceedings of the Markets' Committee, which re commended the completion of the sale of the Pedlars' Market, having been read, a memorial, signed by about 4000 persons, was read, against the removal of the Ped lars' Market. After some discussion as to its regularity, the Council decided that Mr. Bigham's motion on the subject should now be brought forward. Mr. BIGHAM then brought forward the following mo tion, of which he had given notice :—To present a memo rial from the occupiers of stalls, &c., in the Pedlars' Mar ket, against the removal of that market, and so rescind a resolution of the Council of the Ist May last confirming f 0 much of a resolution of the 25th April last as recom mends that the Pedlars' Market be disposed of; and to move that the Pedlars' Market, except so much thereof RS it may be necessary to remove for the improvement of Elliott-street, be still appropriated for the purposes for Which it has hitherto been devoted. Mr. Bigham having read the memorial, spoke at considerable length against the removal of the market as injurious to the public and as a hardship upon the tenants. Mr. CHALMERS having seconded the motion, A very long discussion took place, in the course of which Mr. Thomson, Mr. Holt,andMr.Hornbysupported the motion, and Mr. Hodson, Mr. Briscoe, Mr. J. B. Lloyd, Mr. Picton, Mr. Freme, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Cooper opposed it. On dividing there were—for the mo tion, 17 ; against, 22 majority against the motion, 5, The proceedings were then confirmed. The proceedings of the Health Committee included wash-houses and baths. The proceedings recommended the grant of £l,OOO towards the approaches to the Sailors' Home. _ _ Mr. PARKER, in moving the confirmation of the pro ceedings, referred to the increased number of people who were now frequenting the baths, and stated that they were now not only self-supporting but profitable. The motion having been seconded, A lengthened discussion, originated by Mr. Alderman TURNER, took place on the resolution of the committee not to allow the inspectors of lodging-houses free access to the baths. An amendment, by Mr. Turner, that that part of the proceedings be referred back to the committee for further consideration, was eventually carried by a majority of 24 to 22. An amendment, by Mr. BENNETT, that Mr. Duncan's removal to the Water Committee be not confirmed, was negatived, and the proceedings were then confirmed. The proceedings of the Water Committee comprised a recommendation that an engineer be appointed whose attention shall be exclusively devoted to the management and distribution of the water supply, and that Mr. Thos. Duncan be appointed to that situation, at the salary now received by him as assistant borough engineer, and a re commendation that the sum of £4OO be granted to Mr. Newlands for his services as engineer of the water works. The proceedings having been read, Mr. Hour said that, before he moved the confirmation of the proceedings, he thought the motion of which he had given notice should now be brought forward :—" To rescind so much of the resolution of the Council of the 29th of August last, as confirms a report then submitted, which recommended that the borough engineer for the time being should be the engineer of the existing water works." Mr. Ilolt, at some length, explained the grounds upon which the committee had recommended the ap pointment of an independent engineer to attend to the distribution of water in the town, TfIE lIITERPOOIy .11111lAKII; Mr. FERNIROUGH seconded the motion. Mr. BENNETT, in a lengthy speech, opposed the motion, contending that the appointment would have the effect of bringing Mr. Duncan and Mr. Newlands into collision with each other, and that ultimately it would entail an ,-additional expense upon the public, as Mr. New lands would require an assistant. He moved a direct negative, Mr. HENDERSON seconded the amendment. After a warm discussion, Mr. Bennett's amendment was negatived by a large majority, and the proceedings were confirmed. In answer to questions from Mr. FERNIHOUGH, The TOWN-CLERK said that the Extension of Time Act, for the completion of the Rivington Works, would be read on W e d nes d ay even i ng , an d t h at t h e act did not authorise the Council to borrow more than £480,000 for the purpose of carrying out the Rivington Works. The Council then adjourned about five o'clock to Monday. ADJOURNED MEETING, YESTERDAY. A meeting of the Town Council, adjourned from Wed nesday last, was held yesterday morning. The business was opened by the Town-clerk reading the report of the committee appointed to confer with the Hon. Mr. Corn wall Lewis, relative to the determination to petition parliament to amend the laws as regards the rating of property. . Mr. Alderman HORSFALL begged before the report was adopted to offer a few observations in reference to a sub ject connected with it. He understood a memorial from the Houseowners' Guardian Society had been sent in to the Council, and he wished that memorial to be read, in order that he might make some statements relative to it. The memorial was accordingly read by the Town-clerk. It set forth that the memorialists had been informed that Mr. Horsfall and other members of the Town Council had had an interview, as a deputation from the Council, with Mr. Cornwall Lewis on the subject of amending the paro chial assessment law ; and that at that interview the deputation had sought to obtain Mr. Lewis's concurrence to a measure which would insure a rating to the poor of the owners of all property of the rental of £l2 and under, and that Mr. Lewis had refused his concurrence. The memo rial further stated that the memorialists believing that the deputation had not the sanction of the Town Council for their proceedings in this resnect, considered that they merited the censure of that body. The memorial was signed " Geo. Sumner." Mr. HonsFALL observed that there was not a shadow of foundation (hear) for the statements contained in that memorial, not a single word had been said at the inter view referred to on the subject about which the memorialists appeared to be aggrieved. (Hear.) He thought it was due to the committees of the council that the memorial be taken no further notice of. Mr. DOVER hoped before so strong a measure as the onr suggested was adopted the council would reflect that the memorial emanated from a highly respectable body, and he was quite sure those gentlemen were incapable of intentionally offending either the council or its commit tees. Was it not probable that they had been misinformed. He had no doubt that was the state of the case, and there fore would suggest that the memorial be received and allowed to remain on the table. The memorialists would be satisfied at this mode of disposing of the matter. Mr, HORSFALL (indignantly)—Satisfied (hear). Mr. HORNBY rose to second Mr. Horsfall's motion for the rejection of the memorial. He did not at all agree with Mr. Dover ; for he thought-before those gentlemen took so grave a course, they ought at least to have in formed themselves on the real state of the case, a course in which there would have been no difficulty. (Hear, hear.) They could have applied to the churchwardens for the information. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WOODRUFF opposed the motion. Mr. HODSON defended it. He considered that an im putation had undeservedly been cast upon the Council, and ought to be resisted as an individual would resent an imputation on his character. The report having been read a second time, Mr. ALDERMAN Nicol, observed that he understood from it that it proposed to rato all descriptions of property, consequently that class referred to by the memorialists, must be included, and therefore that in effect they were not in error. Mr. HORSFALL explained that the report had reference only to public property. It also appeared that Mr, Nicol had not understood the memorialists to have charged the deputation with , an attempt to rate-the 'owners not the tenants of cottage property, he therefore suspended further observation on the subject. The MAYOR observed that the report said nothing whatever about rating owners. Mr. HORNEY said it appeared to be forgotten that the charge against the committee was for having acted with out the sanction of the council (hear, hear.) Mr. HODSON offered some further remark on the sub ject and concluded by again supporting Mr. Horsfall's motion. Mr. MANN said no man was more disposed to listen with attention to anything which fell from Mr. Alderman Horsfall than he was, but he would appeal to him whether it was prudent to reject the memorial. Mr. Alderman HeRsFALL rose to order. The question was, whether the committee which had been appointed for one purpose had not taken advantage of their position to accomplish another object, to suit their own private pur poses. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MANN said his object was to have all property rated, and he considered that Mr. Alderman Horstall would place the Council in a wrong position by calling upon them to give a vote as to whether the memorial should be received or not. He should therefore move that the memorial do lie on the table. Mr. I'AIiNEII. said the question seemed to be misunder stood. The object was to have all property rated ; but the proposal sought to throw the rating off the tenants and place it upon the landlords. (Hear, hear.) The property alluded to was at present rated, every iota of it; but if the committee had gone beyond their province, he trusted the Connell would set them right. Mr. G. HoLT said it appeared to him that the memori alists would make a mistake, and they stated that which really did not occur in the committee at all. As they had made such a mistake, he thought the memorialists ought to be permitted to withdraw the memorial. If not withdrawn, as it stated that which had not occurred, it should be rejected in some way or other. The Mayor suggested that under the circumstances the Town-clerk should return the memorial, and state that they had make a mistake. Mr. THOMPSON joined in the recommendation of the Mayor. _ _ Mr. Alderman HORSFALL had no objection to the me morial being returned, and if that course was persued he would withdraw his motion. This course was agreed to, and Mr. Alderman Horsfall moved that the report of the committee be received and adopted. Mr. H. HORNBY seconded the motion. Mr. HOLT said, he intended to offer his protest against the report, though he should not move an amendment on the subject. Their local rates did not call for any parti cular alteration or amendment by the Council. The parish had attended to the poor-rates, which were now as low as they well could be, and although other local rates, from various circumstances, were at present press ing heavily upon the ratepayers, vet they would soon be reduced. But when he found that the object was to rate all the public establishments, and amongst others the dock estate, he considered that the scheme was ouickotic, out of place, and in every way opposed to their advantage as a community. They now possessed the advantage of receiving from the dock estate a sum of not less than £lOO,OOO a year, and under these circumstances they ought to be the last in the world to moot such a question. He, however, should content himse If with merely entering his protest against the report. Mr. Alderman DOVER rose as one of the committee to support the report, •and in doing so expressed his astonish ment at finding Mr. Holt taking exception to it. The opponents of dock rating had always done so on the ground that other public property was not rated. (Hear, hear, and "no no," from Mr. Holt.) He (Mr. Dover) had always understood that was the ground upon which the rating of the docks was opposed. He, however, on that subject should travel out of Liverpool and go to Porstmouth and Plymouth where the chief work of our navy was performed. Although the sailors and others em ployed in those dock 3ards spent their money, or at least a great portion of it at those places, yet when they became unable to maintain themselves those parishes had to bear the burthen. (Hear, hear.) Let them look to the mil lions which every year were received at our Custom-house by which the country was benefitted, yet the town had to bear the burthens of the poor which that establishment was the means of throwing upon them. Look at Everton. A serious injury had been inflicted upon property by the introduction of barracks, and there not only had good pro perty been depreciated in value, but the poor-rates of the township had been increased sixpence in the pound. He believed that was the fact, but Mr. Langsdale could cor rect him if he was wrong. Mr. LANGSDALE said it was true, and they would con tinue to increase. Mr. DovEn continued—Then if they looked to Kirk dale, they would find that the erection of docks in that township had destroyed valuable property, for houses which formerly let for £2O a year each were now occupied by dock labourers, at a loss of £5OO a year to the rates, which was a serious drawback, and had increased the poor rates sixpence in the pound. He was, therefore, clearly of opinion that there ought to be a general bill introduced for giving power to rate all public property. Again, if they looked at the unequal mode in which property was rated. Their dock estate paid no local rates but the ware houses did. Their markets were rated but their water works were not. But there was a greater inconsistency still. In Kirkdale their industrial schools paid poor-rata, but the gaol did not. Again, the waterworks in that township, from which no beneficial interest was derived, paid parish rates, though strange to say the new docks did not. He hoped the time was not far distant when a general bill would be introduced into parliament for the rating of all property, which would set the question at rest—an event he sincerely desired to see accomplished, and for this reason, that the agitation of the subject had been the means of excluding from the Council many valuable men, who were well acquainted with corporate duties, and whom he would wish to see reinstated. It was not his wish, nor the wish of those who acted with him, to exclude merchants, the upper classes, as he might be permitted to call them, from the Council. As they bore their share of the burthens of the town, he was wishful to see them share also in the work of the Council, though it was not their wish to mix fur ther with them, as between them there was a great and impassable guiph fixed, and he (Mr. Dover) and his friends had no wish either to dine at their tables, or to dance with their daughters. They were not anxious to raise themselves up to their position ; but although they did not wish to do that, at the same time they did:say they should not share honours with them without also sharing their burthens. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman BENT said it was his wish to offer a few observations as to , the reasons which influenced his ink ment, and which inclined him to hope that a large majority of the Council would not only agree with them, but even tually determine to petition parliament to grant such powers as would enable them to carry into effect a mea sure of such interest and importance to the ratepayers of Liverpool. He was clearly of opinion that all property, r hether national or local, ought to contribute its fair quota, not only for the relief of the poor, but for all other establishments for the preservation of life and property, and for the welfare of the community at large. (Hear,hear.) There were great n um b er s of perso ns who were employed at our public works, who often, from adverse times, or other casualties, were thrown upon the parish ; and it was only just and right that those who benelitted by such a description of labour should contribute towards their support. The merchants of the town had the advan tage of the reduction of the dock rates on several occa sions, and it was only right that a small portion of that income should be devoted to the public burdens. The dock trust were now engaged in pulling down an immense amount of rate-paying property to afford further dock accommodation ; and were also about to remove one of the most important branches of the trade—the timber trade—beyond the boundary of the borough, which would materially reduce the rates ; he felt he might urge this circumstance upon the Council as a reason for not permit ting the dock estate to remain any longer free from rates, without at least giving an equivalent for what they were taking from them. (Hear.) Every interest in the town ought to thrive and prosper as the commerce of the port increases, rates ought to become less, and property improved; but what was the fact, though the number of vessels entering the port had increased and the tonnage was larger, yet they found Liverpool paying a larger amount of local taxation than ever it paid before, there were a greater number of warehouses and houses unoccupied, and the general trade of the town had de creased, thus proving that an immense trade might be carried on without a corresponding advantage to the trade of the town. It was his hope that the docks might go on prrsperously,—but there was no denying the fact that they were the means of introducisg a vast amount of pauperism which the rate-payers alone ought not to pay. (Hear, hear.) He considered they were not asking too much from those who traded to the port, and for whose advantage a vast amount of property nad been and still was being removed, should not contribute to the support of the public burthens. He was aware that it was an argument used by those who opposed the rating of the docks, that all surplus revenue should be appropriated to the reduction of dock rates; but if the surplus was not already expended in the increase of new docks, he thought it only right that some portion should be devoted to the local rates. There were also some who were of opinion that parliament would not sanction such a bill, which was a bill for taxing what was called a non-beneficial estate, but parliament had already done so to some extent, and no doubt would go further on a good cause being shown. As to there being any fear of other ports coming into com petition with Liverpool, it was the great highway from the manufacturing districts, such fears were groundless,— (Hear, and cheers.) _ Mr. Alderman 141 COL said, when he ventured, upon a previous occasion, to address a few words to the council, he was rather surprised that Mr. Alderman Horsfall should have taken offence•at his stating that it was an in genious mode of seeking to bring forward, in a new shape, a plan for rating the Liverpool docks, and looking to the speeches that had been made, that point seemed fully proved. He (Mr. Nicol) however, was in hopes that as the vexatious question of the Rivington Pike scheme had been set at rest so would that ; but Mr. Bent seemed de termined that it should not, but hoped that the govern ment would give their sanction to it. He (Mr. Nicol) knew they had tried the government, and he rather thought they had the cold shoulder shown to them—at least a little bird had so whispered to him.—(Cries of "no, no," and " name, name.") He (Mr. Nicol) was in London at the time. Mr. Alderman HORSFALL.—What is the name of the bird ? Mr. Alderman Nicol, was at the home office on the very day the deputation were there, and he need not go further. As to Plymouth and Portsmouth a vast deal of public money was spent, and there was no reason why they should not contribute; but with regard to Liverpool, what would it be without its docks ? who spent such large sums of money in the town ? The merchants, and the tradesmen and shopkeepers got the benefit. The parish rates of Liverpool. were less than most large towns in the kingdom, and where they spoke of the docks producing a large amount of pauperism, they forgot that cholera and other diseases visited the town, and the neglect of sanatory regulations, which entailed a vast amount of ex penditure upon the town which might have been avoided by proper forethought. He maintained that the docks were the means of lightening the rates of the town instead of increasing them, and it was not the duty of the Council to interfere so as to impose ourthens upon them. For these reasons he heartily joined Mr. Holt in protesting against the report though he should not attempt to divide the Council upon it. Mr. GARDNER wished to know whether the charitable property was to be rated. The report made an excep tion in favour of ecclesiastical property, but he wished to know whether charitable property wes also to be excepted. Mr. Alderman HORSFALL said the report spoke for itself. The committee did not think it right to say more than that charitable institutions and places of worship should be excepted. Mr. GARDNER then said—lt was quite clear from what he had seen of Mr. Nicol that they had touched upon a very sore point ; but he considered that the defence he had made - in favour of the parties who were ao ninah raina the docks had satisfied every one that the efforts of the com mittee were just And proper, and that they ought to be persisted in as no doubt they would be. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PARKER said it was singular that those who wished the subject of dock rating to be dropped should be conti nually agitating the question. It was a curious way to put out afire by throwing tar barrels on it. (Hear, and laugh ter,) But it was said what would Liverpool be without the docks ? Why to whom did the docks belong ! They belonged to the corporation. Then again it was said that the town was the lowest rated of any in the country. Why instead of being so it ought not to be rated at all if its revenue was properly managed. Then it was said 'the merchants came to the town to serve it. Why he came to the town as a brewer, no doubt to serve the public as well as the merchants, but the fact was they all came to serve themselves, and the public afterwards. (Laughter.) He urged them to be united and then they need not fear the result, but at all events they were not to be frightened from their purpose by the threats of Mr. Nicol. If the committee would only persevere he had no doubt they would see all public property rated, and amongst it the docks of Liverpool. Mr. BIGFIAM regretted that the question was not amic ably settled, but he could assure Mr. Nicol it never would be unless the rating of the docks were conceded. Mr. TOBIN wished to say a few words in explanation of his views on the subject. He had never said one word against the principle of any such measure as that. He had always stated it as his opinion that all public property should be rated ; but what he had done was to object to the bill for rating the docks, making them an exception to the general rule, whereas we were now receiving from that estate, in the shape of town dues, £lOO,OOO a year. Mr. Bigham, had stated th a t th e merchants did not con tribute their share to the public burthens because many of them resided out of town ; but so also did a great many of the shopkeepers, and he hoped they had heard the last of the merchants being opposed to any portion of the community, for,such a charge was most unjust. Mr. MANN wished to say a few words why he should follow Mr. Holt in protesting against the report. It was not because he was opposed to all public property being rated, for be was in favour of all property being rated, both public and private; but he objected to it on the ground that it was introduced for the sole object of rateing the docks. If he needed proof of this, it was to be found in the speeches which they had just heard, for scarcely one word had been uttered except about rateing the docks. Mr. H. HORNISY said it appeared to him the question for discussion was not whether the docks should be rated or not, but whether public property of every description should be rated. The mode in which many of the rates were laid was most unjust and unequal, and the difficulty was in ascertaining how property could be made to bear its proper and equal share of the public burthens. The question was, how Liverpool, which suffered more from this injustice than any other town, now that the sub ject was obtaining general attention throughout the country—how Liverpool should make herself heard. Mr. Holt had stated that some hundreds of millions of pro perty would be affected by the measure, but the question was why should that property not be rated ? Mr. Nicol had asked what Liverpool would be without her docks ? Why, what would Manchester be without her mills ? Yet they paid local rates. He was of opinion that every kind of property, whether great or small, should be rated. Mr. Alderman HORSFALL, in reply, regretted that Mr. Holt did not see the distinction between making all public property equally rateable and making Liverpool' docks the exception. Ho did not know where Mr. Nicol got the little bird from who whispered in his ear that the government showed them the cold shoulder ; but he could assure him that they were both courteously and civilly received by Mr. Labouchere, though he did not give any opinion on the subject either one way or the other, which was to be expected. Again, Mr. Nicol had called it a foolish crusade. (Hear.) They had all heard of a celebrated character in London, 'Mr. Alderman Wood, who used to characterise every measure which did not originate with himself as absolute foolishness, and at last got the name of " absolute wisdom." (Laughter.) He (Mr. Horsfall) had opposed the bill for rating the Liverpool docks, and lie felt he could do so consistently, for it was making those docks at variance with the law of the land, whereas they wished for a general measure, which should rate not only the Liverpool docks but also all other public property. (Cheers.) The report was then adopted without a division. JUVENILE OFFENDERS. The further consideration of the report of the special committee appointed to confer with the magistrates and parochial authorities as to the establishment of an asylum for juvenile offenders, which had been referred to the finance committee was read. It recommended that the sum of £1,200 per year should be appropriated for that purpose with an outfit of £5OO. Mr. H. HOENBY moved the adoption of the report and that the subject be referred to the same committee to carry it out. When he considered the very moderate outlay and the great advantages to be derived even in a pecuniary point of view, from adopting the measure, he was at a loss to consider what arguments could be ad vanced against it. Should the experiment be successful, the advantage would be considerable, and it was worth trying for, at present the cost of maintaining the children was nearly as great as now. The question was not whe ther they should vote away £1,200, but only the difference between £1,200 and the present cost of keeping the chil dren in the borough gaol. He considered the subject had been completely set at pest by the excellent letters of our Stipendiary, and therefore he need say little more on the subject ; but to show the interest felt on the subject i n either place!, he might mention that Du. Rushton had lately received a letter from-Lady. Byrom - in Warwick shire, offering a large piece of land for the purpose, which Mr. Rushton had declined, on the ground that it was too far distant (hear.) Mr. Alderman HonsrALL seconded'the motion. Mr. HODSOI.7 objected to such a resolution being brought forward without the report being placed in the hands of the Council. He admitted there was an absolute necessity for,doing something for the children of the poor of Liverpool, and he would contribute from his private purse towards such an object; but still he held if they commenced the formation . of a . house for reforming these children, that the expense became a local expense, and would be such as they had little idea of. He instanced the Industrial School, which had caused an irnmenseincreaseof youthful pauperism, and that many children had rot there whose parents were able to support them. He contended that anything which was to be done ought to be done by government. There were sufficient demands on the funds of the town, and he questioned whether the sum asked (Xl2OO a year) would be at all competent for the reformation of juvenile offenders in Liverpool. He, therefore, moved that the proposition be not entertained. (Cheers.) Mr. PARKER seconded the amendment. In doing so he admitted the extent to which juvenile crime prevailed, but designated the plan proposed by Mr. Rushton as a hobby of his, and quoted the opinion given by the stipen diary magistrate, that the industrial school at Kirkdale was lessening the amount of crime. The law at present afforded means for the reformation of these children. The recorder could transport these children ; this was the remedy, rid this country of them, and place them in a new country where they might become useful members of society. If they established this asylum, the fact of its establishment would be known in every gaol in England, and the town would be swarmed with juvenile criminals from all parts of the kingdom. He, therefore seconded the amendment. Mr. DOVER said there was a charity in Liverpool called Molyneux's charity, which amounted to about £7OO per annum. Oue moiety of this money was for distribution amongst the deserving widows of seamen, and the other for the release of persons incarcerated in gaol for debt or otherwise. Mr. Rushton thought that this moiety was applicable for the use of the proposed institution, and he (Mr. Dover) therefore thought that this £350 should be taken out of the public purse. That would be legiti mate ; and he was favourable to granting the difference between £350 and £1,200, inasmuch as they had to keep those children already in gaol ; and they would not be taking more than £3OO or £4OO a year out of the public funds. Mr. FREME was unfavourable to the resolution being passed, and advised that the subject should be referred back to the committee to report on all the details. Mr. CHALMERS felt very deeply on this subject, for, from twenty years experience as a surgeon in a gaol, he had some knowledge and some facts that bore on the case. He had met with many cases in which, from the want of a slight assistance of this kind, youth barely cul pable had become deformed and destroyed ; and he was, therefore, in hopes that something should be done. He remembered the case of a poor boy committed to gaol who had been brought before him (Mr. Chalmers) on his en trance in such a state of starvation and misery that he was apprehensive he would have died within the first two or three days. This lad had stolen a jacket in the country, and was driven to the commission of the crime by hunger, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Two years afterwards, this man came before him (Mr. Chalmer) as a transport. In three months he became inoculated with those principles which were imbibed in a gaol. He came before him a healthy lad, but he said to him, in the bitterness of spirit, he really wished he had let him die. Looking at it in an economical point of view, he thought a great saving would be effected to the town, and he begged the Council to grant the money asked for the establishment, from which great benefits would result. (Hear, hear.) Mr. THOMSON had determined to vote against the motion ; but, after what had been mentioned, he would give his vote for this establishment. Mr. NEILL had great pleasure in supporting the motion. Mr. HENDERSON objected to the Corporation going to such expense in reclaiming these children. Mr. WOODRUFF said the result of his enquiries was, that this measure was not only desirable but necessary. He stated that, a few days ago, he visited the Borough Gaol, and from what he had seen there he was fully con vinced of the necessity of the measure proposed by Mr. Hamby. With reference to the Industrial Schools, he stated the introduction of improperparties into the schools arose from the negligence of the officers connected with the establishment. • Mr. PROCTER said that, as eight months of the present year were gone by, and as this was an annual vote, they should wait and see how the system worked at the end of the year. He (Mr. Procter) should like the establish ment to be connected with the new gaol which they were building. He threw this out as a suggestion, which might not be thought unworthy of the consideration of the special committee. He would, therefore, advise Mr. Hodson to withdraw his amendment. Mr. TOBIN said little or nothing had been done for the reformation of juvenile offenders. Punishment was the basis of their present system, how had it succeeded ? let their gloomy prisons and crowded gaols answer ; let the fact that we are now expending £150,000 to erect a new Borough Gaol ; were they to look calmly at the wreck of their fellow men ; let them look this question fully in the face ; let them grapple boldly with the difficulties, for difficulties thore.pichably would bc, and' lee them" Weigh the balance of good or evil. Instead of a person being re claimed when he entered the prison, he left a worse child of hell. After referring to the cost of criminals and the beneficial influence which the industrial ragged schools of Scotland had exercised on criminal youth, he asked the committee not to allow the sea of misery which sur rounded these poor children to engulph them. Mr. HODGSON supported the resolution, but urged that the foundation of all education should be based on sound religious principles. Mr. FISHER would give his support to the motion, so much good was worth the experiment. Mr. BIGIIAM urged for :delay, but if Mr. Hornby pressed his motion, he would support it. Mr. HORNBY rose, and was about to reply, when Mr. Hodson withdrew his amendment, and the resolution was carried. Mr. Dover's suggestion relative to Mr. Moly neux's charity being allowed to pass as an instruction to the committee. --- ~~~: MAYOR'S COMMUNICATION. A memorial from the shipbuilders, on the Liverpool side of the water was read, asking the council to reduce the rents which they paid. Mr. TOBIN then brought forward his motion for the appointment of a special committee to consider the state of the shipbuilding trade in Liverpool, and the best means of encouraging it. His object was to retain the shipbuilding trade on the banks of the Mersey. Mr. LLOYD seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. Jones, and carried unanimously. Tile following gentlemen were appointed members of the committee :—Messrs. Tobin, Litticdale, Horsfall, Hamby, Holt, Fisher, Lloyd, Lanesdale, and Dover. The TOWN-CLERK read communications from Messrs. Jeffery and M`Donald, on the part of the Parochial Com mittee and National Confederation, stating, in reply to the Town-clerk's communication, that there was a prece dent for the receipt of a protest in the Council, and . directing the Town-clerk's attenti on to th e p r oceedi ng s of the Council of the 18th August, 1848, when they stated a protest had been received, and referring to the Mercury in confirmation of that statement. On a referrence, how ever, to the Mercury, and also to the proceedings of the Council, it was found that Mr. M'Donald and Mr. Jeffery were in error ; no protest had been received ; the docu ment referred to being simply a memorial. The Town-clerk was thereupon directed to inform Messrs. Jeffery and M`Donald that the documents in question conld not be received except as memorials. A communication was received from Mr. J. B. Yates, relative to an invitation to the British Association to hold its meeting in Liverpool in 1851; but as the general im pression was that it would be better not to invite the association to Liverpool until St. George's Hall was com pleted, the subject dropped. THE FERRY. Mr. THOMPSON was about bringing forward his motion relative to the ferries when, The TOWN CLERK stated that it would not be for the benefit of the corporate estate if this subject were to be discussed. An opinion on the subject would be received in a few days, and lie would bring it before the finance corn mittee. Mr. THONIPSON then agreed to adjourn his motion ; also a second motion of which he had given notice rela tive to lowering the rents of the building yards on the Mersey. Mr. FREME moved that it be referred to the markets' committee to consider, and report whether the Haymar ket cannot be made more available for the uses of the public by being thrown open as a play ground, after clos ing it for market purposes, subject to proper police regu lations. _ _ An opposition was offered to the motion, but it was agreed to. Mr. HENDERSON 'moved that the finance committee be instructed to take immediate steps, either by advertis ing or otherwise to procure plans and estimates for laying out Wavertree-hall, Yellow-hall, and Newsham house estates for a park or parks. Mr. HORNBY, as chairman of the Finance Committee, opposed the motion ; and after a short discussion on the Subject, Mr. HENDERSON withdrew his motion. Mr. GODFREY moved that a committee be appointed for the purpose of inquiring into the respective duties of all paid officers of the Corporation, and also the amount of salaries attached thereto, with a view to a thorough revision, and such reduction in the number of offi c i a l s or their salaries as may be consistent with the efficient work ing of the said Corporation. In moving the resolution, he said that the number of persons empl o y e d i n Corn wallis-street was 119, at a cost of £14,065 2s. In the Health Committee they were desirous of economising, but they found that the officers in th a t esta b lishment were so mixed up with the Town-hall, that they were obliged to come to the fountain head. There were 28 surveyors for the town, and the question naturally arose, what had all these men to do. They found many of these men were unfit for the situation, two farriers were build ing surveyors, a bricklayer was the surveyor of flagging, and last, not least, they had under the Corporation a sur veyor who was a tailor.—(Laughter.) There were now two treasurers to the Corporation funds : one paid fill)0 per annum ; the other, £7OO. He thought they might do with one treasurer. The offices of surveyor and bo rough engineer might, he thought, be amalgamated. In the Town -clerk's office be thought some reform was ne cessary, and he instanced one gentleman who was receiv ing income from private business in that office. Mr. BECKWITH seconded the motion. Mr. HORNBY suggested that instead of a special pm. mittee being appointed, each committee should furnish a lat of its officere, and report whore any ratteuchmaM 3 might be - effected to the next'conncil, and that the report should be•referred to a special committee, to be appointed at the next meeting. Considerable discussion followed on the subject, after which Mr. Godfrey's motion was carried, and the follow ing gentlemen appointed members of the committee:-- Messrs. Freme, Avison, Fernihough, Langsdale, Thos. Lloyd, Johnson, Thomson, Bigham, and Godfrey. Mr. BRISCOE rose to bring forward the follawing motion, of which he had given notice :7 _ "That before this Council sanctions the appropriation of any land belonging to it, or the purchase of any, for the purpose of a wholesale or - other market, a Special Committee be appointed to take into consideration whether the application of our exist— ing markets is beneficial or detrimental to the general interests of the inhabitants at large, and if any alterations can be made, so as render our present space sufficient, and to report accord— ingly. He commenced to read his speech. when a number of per sons left the room. Mr. FISHED. expressed a hope that gentlemen would remain. Mr. H. HORNBY asked whether it was not contrary to the standing orders for members to read their speeches ? The MAYOR said there was no occasion to answer the question, as there was not a council. Mr. BRISCOE said, though he was last upon this occa— sion, he would take care to be time enough next time, and then they should have his speech. (A laugh.) The Council broke un at half -past three. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT. Monday Night. Our Share market, after a quiet week, in which prices have declined a little owing to the small amount of bu siness doing, and perhaps in some measure from the re action from the very extensive business of the preceding week, closes firmer to-day, and shows symptoms of another move upwards. Stock continues scarce, and appears likely to he wanting for the settlement of the 14th. The quotations of this day's prices are :—Great Western, 574 ; Leeds Fifths, 91 13/9 d ; London Stock, 1071 ; Ditto, Quarter Shares, 3/9 4- d par ; Midland Stock, 361; Ditto Half Shares, 26i d; Erewash Valley, 56; Dutch Rhenish, d. The Manchester manufacturers appear to have given up all hopes of Cotton getting cheaper, and have set to work in earnest ; and as the accounts from the continent are more cheering politically, and the demand for manufac tured goods having somewhat improved, they are reported to be doing at present an extensive trade. They appear satisfied at length that Cotton cannot be lower for some months, and that under the circumstances it may be higher, when the stock gets into more reduced compass, which it will do in the course of two months from the present time. The demand here since Friday for the raw material has been on rather a limited scale ; 4,000 bales were sold on Saturday, of which 1,000 were on speculation and for export ; and in consequence of holders bringing their stocks forward freely, there was a slight decline, but not amounting to a quotation. To-day the sales did not amount to more than 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which were oa export, with no perceptible change in prices. At the close of last week, after the publication of the brokers' circular, we bad a fair demand for Sugar, and 100 hhds. of West India and 2,000 bags of Bengal were sold at very full prices; also a cargo of Mauritius, consisting of 7,000 mats, at an average of 365. 6d. round. To-day it was telegraphed from Holyhead that the Yankee expe dition against Cuba had failed for the time. General Lopez had returned to the United States, and on his landing addressed a large concourse of the people. He stated that though he had failed in this attempt he would never rest till Cuba was freed. This has caused a flatness, and there has been less inclination on the part of buyers to go into stock.—With the exception of the above tele graphic despatch, the news by the Hibernia arrived too late to have any effect upon our markets. On the Ist June the imperial wheat averages had reached 40s. 2d., the point to which certain prophets said they would never fall, and even now we find that in many of the agricultural districts the latest averages are much lower ; for instance, at Wisbech, 375. ; Spalding, 375. 6d. ; Lynn, 38s. 2d. ; Worcester, 395. 2d. ; with many others. This, then, after many weeks of rising markets, gives but a beggarly account for the British farmer to contmplate. 40s. is now about the value of his wheat ; and, with the present most propitious weather, prices are generally reported to be firm, with little doing. The English of this is, that the tendency is to decline. Dealers have done a pretty good business latterly, and are inclined to work off their stocks, in the anticipation of effecting a resumption at lower prices. There is little passing in Brunswick-street to-day, in any branch of the trade, and prices continue the same as on Friday. Our imports coastwise and from Ireland continue very limited; but from abroad we have received, from Tuesday to Siturday inclusive, nearly 18,000 qrs. Wheat, a similar quantity of Indian Corn, and upwards of 8,000 sacks of Flour front France. The trial of the parties implicated in the late fraud upon the revenue of sugar and coffee is definitely fixed to come off this week, at the Exchequer Court, Westminster. We understand that the government, if they ever had the intention, have abandoned the idea of proceeding against the parties as a criminal case, but intend to sue them for three times the amount of duty, say £30,000. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. On Wednesday, thirteen persons were fined for ille gaily letting off their cellars. A waiter at the Merchants' Dining Room was re manded, on Wednesday, for stealing, therefrom a number of cigars and several small bottles. For some time past Mr. teeny has missed brandy. &c., from his stores. On Saturday, the mate of the ship John H. Gladden and a man, named Anderson, were remanded on a charge of being implicated in stealing 30 bags of Indian corn from the Clarence Graving Dock. On Saturday, two females were arrested in a house in Hornby-street, Vauxhall-road, engaged in making base half-crowns. In the house were found several articles used for coining. Mr. Rushton, on Saturday, dismissed a summons obtained by a young seaman against the captain of the ship Thames, for wages. The defence was, that the complainant had incurred medical expenses which were exorbitant, and which should he deducted from the bill. THE OUTSKIRT BURGLARS.—OUT readers will be aware that the town and its suburbs have for weeks been infested by a gang of burglars, who carried off much va luable property. Notwithstanding every effort of the police, the whole of the perpetrators escaped detection until Saturday last, when six of them were apprehended, and brought before Mr. Rnshton ' —namely, Thomas Mutch, Michael Dogherty, Edward Clarke, Mary Mur phy, Mary Ann Riley, and Elizabeth Wilson. They were taken through the instrumentality of officers Bates and Sullivan. The gang had generally effected their entrance into dwelling-houses by cutting a piece out of the door, and thus reaching the fastenings. The instrument used created little or no noise, and is artfully constructed, with cutting knives. It may bo taken to pieces, and is then so com plete that it may be carried in a coat pocket. By means of it twenty or thirty houses have been entered during the last three months. The list comprises many gentlemen's and ladies' houses in the neighbouring townships, and not a few in the town. Officers Bates and Sullivan had long been on the look-out for the offenders in the outskirts, but without success until Saturday morning when they found the six prisoners in a second-class carriage, just ar rived from Manchester, and last from Newton. They were all known to the officers but one. Dogherty at tempted to rush out by the door, but was pushed back ; Mutch jumped out of the window, scaled a wall, and got into a field, but was pursued by Bates, who brought him back, Sullivan meantime detaining the others ; Mutch had a crow-bar in his possession, also a life-preserver ; Dogherty and another of the men had also each a life preserver. One of the females threw a watch to the far end of the carriage, where it was afterwards found. In a basket in the carriage was found the door-cutting instru ment noticed ; also other tools for house-breaking, ske leton keys, &c. Money was found on Mutch and Dogh erty. It appeared that the prisoners resided together in Dogherty's house„ in Freemasons'-row, It was said in behalf of the female Wilson, that she was a respectable sempstress of Liverpool, and had accidentally fallen into the company of the others in the carriage. She was not known to the police, but had given a false name : all the others were known, and most of them have been com mitted several times for felonies. Theywere all remanded. ~"i YESTERDAY. IMPUDENT IRISH BEGGARS.—Two stout young Irish men, who had arrived from the sod only on Sunday morning, were brought up for begging in the streets. Upon one of them was found (concealed) a sum of 12s 6d in silver, and upon the other 4s 6d ! They were com mitted to gaol for 21 days—the money to he appropriated to their keep. James Smith, a youth, was sent for trial, for having picked the pocket of Mr. William Maxwell, shipping agent, of a silk pocket handkerchief, in Tarleton•street, on Saturday. ROBBERY ON CORN.—An old man named John Stock pole was charged with being implicated with two others (0. Neale, mate of a ship, and William Anderson), who were brought up on Saturday for stealing thirty bags of Indian Corn from the Clarence Dock. The case was then adjourned. The old man was remanded for further enquiry to be made. BASE Com—Catherine Dowling and Robert Flynn were committed for trial for passing a base half-crown at Mr. Bradley's, top of Cable -street, and another at Mr. Hutchinson's spirit vaults, Brooks's-alley, on Satur day last. ROBBERY AT TIIE BRUNSWICK, AND OTHER HOTELS.O We noticed last week the capture and remand of a youth who had bee n emp l oye d as " Boots," at Mr. Whiteman's, Brunswick Hotel, and other inns previously, from all of which he h a d a b s t rac t e d va l ua ble property. He calls himself Thomas Jones, but his real name is James Jeffrey. Mr. Whiteman had taken him from the ragged school. a with a b n ou e t igh se te v e e n n months' e g h iv a i r n a g cte h r i , m an f d ou h v a g d o employed him la a-day, a good bed, and five shillings per week wages. He left Mr. Whiteman's service in January s to et. the N l e io x i t i l s a e m s , t o 'i v n n anditnh morning o a night, by y 31 s the t of skylight of awa t Amade his w e a r -1 o y e in was missed, and a number o f oth er ar twicaltecsh,,awsowrtehll £2O, was belonging to lodgers, which he had taken from their bed-rooms while they were asleep. The watch has not yet been recovered, but part of the chain and a gold seal were produced : a cap was also iden tified as belonging to a boy in the house, and which the pri soner had on when captured. It was yesterday shown that he must have entered Mr. Ward's, York Hotel, ( where he bad also been employed,) and concealed himself until the family retired, on the 22nd May. in the morning, the front door in Tarlton-street was found unbolted and open, and several articles were missed, including a pistol, which was found at a pawnshop. The prisoner had here stolen another cap, and left his own worn out one behind. There was another similar case against him, for robbing an inn in Dale-street, where he had also been employed. He passed for 14 years of age, and said he was unable to write. It appears he is several years older, and can write 'roll, Ho woe fully c o mm itt e d for trial,
