TO CORRESPONDENTS. WM observe that a vestry meeting is announced to take place on Thursday next, for the purpose of determining whether the money raised by the vo luntary rate shall he applied towards any further opposition to the bill for the construction of the Rivington Pike Works. Our objections to this scheme have been again and again urged; and we shall, therefore, not be open to the accusation of a wish to turn our hack upon our past professions, in the remarks which we feel it our duty to make. It does, however, seem to us that the opposition to this scheme has been carried to its legitimate ex tent, and that any further outlay of money is wasteful, The public refused to be warned in time, and upon the public be the onus of their own ne glect. We receive in perfect good humour the remonstrance of the Chester Courant. Does our contemporary deny the exist ence of two parties in the church ? If not, can he furnish us with a distinctive appellation for one of tkem which will not offend him, and we promise to adopt it. The terni we used originated with that high-minded and aged churchman, the Rev. G. S. Faber, -and our contemporary ought to exhibit a little more modesty when he differs from so able and mode rate a divine. Eig Etheypoot otanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1850. WE are afraid that posterity, in passing its judgment upon the policy which has governed our local bodies in providing for the accommodation of the commerce of this port, will be constrained to express itself in rather unsatisfactory terms. We pride ourselves upon the length of strand occupied by our magnificently constructed docks. Yet experience is telling us day by day that, in availing ourselves of the facilities afforded us by nature, we have committed many sad mistakes, and that we should have done better had we allowed ourselves to be guided by the example and "the wisdom of our ancestors.' Our csnversion of the Old Dock of Liverpool into the site of a Custom-house was a mistake. Nature suggested to us that locality as the commencement of a series of docks running inland in the direction of the old pool, now unfor tunately built over, and inhabited by a dense population. We seized, instead, upon the frontage of the river for dock purposes, neglecting almost entirely the adaptation of that frontage for a trade so necessary to the prosperity of a great commercial port as shipbuilding. The occupation of the site upon which the Albert Dock and Warehouses are constructed was another mistake. We destroyed in that locality a valuable position for shipbuilding and the trades connected with it. Further north, we committed, more recently, another mistake. We might have secured for a very trifling conside ration a very large tract of land between the Clarence Dock and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal which would have furnished all that we required of dock room for years to come. This land is now built . over, and, by its price, placed completely beyond our reach. And what is the result of this series of blunders ? The business of shipbuilding in Liver pool is almost extinct from sheer want of accommo dation ; and we shall shortly be at a loss for the means of even performing casual repairs. For years we have submitted those engaged in the trade to every species of inconvenience. They have been driven from spot to spot, and prevented, by the insecurity of the tenure upon which they have held their various yards, from erecting the necessary conveniences for their business; and the result is before us in the declining condition of an important portion of our population. It is estimated that nearly thirty thousand persons connected with the shipbuilding branches of business have been driven from the port, at a loss to us of from £200,000 to £250,000 of annual expenditure. In the engi neeribg business connected with shipping, the firms of Messrs. Bury, Messrs. Fawcett, M`Gregor, and others, were not long ago in the habit of employing as many as six thousand hands ; they do not now employ more than three hundred. We are glad to observe that a committee of the Council has been formed for the purpose of inves tigating the causes of the decline of these trades, and providing, if possible, a proper provision for their convenience. A more important subject can not occupy the attention of any committee ; and we trust that the gentlemen engaged upon it will enter upon their duties impressed with a full sense of the responsibility which is attached to them, and of the advantages which they may confer upon the industrious masses of their fellow-townsmen. When we state that the parties interested in their enquiries consist of carpenters, engineers, rope makers, chain cable makers, sailmakers, painters, blockmakers, shipsmiths, anchorsniiths, boat-buil ders, and others, the vital interest of the town, in their well-being, cannot be denied. Upon the de tention of these trades in Liverpool depends the occupancy or non-occupancy of large masses of cottage and other property, and the custom to the merchant and the retail tradesman to he derived from the expendithre of their wages. Already the depression caused by their secession is being se verely felt, and is seen in the increasing number of tenantless houses and shops in every part of the town; and, unless some decisive steps are taken to arrest the present crying evils incident to their po sition, a further serious decline in the prosperity of the town is inevitable. We should suggest to the committee, as the best means of making themselves acquainted with the subject, the propriety of invi ting deputations from the various trades interested, to attend before them and state in detail their griev ances and their wants ; and to those trades them selves the importance of being prepared for such a course of proceeding, and; if necessary, of present ing their evidence for examination. •It would, also, be a material advantage, if reporters were admitted to take notes of, and give publicity to, the commit tee's proceedings. We are perfectly satisfied, after a careful review of the capabilities of our existing Dock Estate, that it is still within the power of the Council to provide a fair amount of accommodation on this side of the river for ship-building purposes. And, when we say on this side of the river, we take into considera tion the deep interest which the Burgesses of Liver pool ought to feel in such accommodation being given within the boundaries of their own estate. From the Exchange, running eastwardly up Dale street to Moss-street, thence along Crown-street to Windsor, and westwardly thence to the river, is an area of land densely built over and populated, four fifths of which, it is estimated, is held under lease from the. Corporation of Liverpool. It is easy for gentlemen connected with the trade of the port, in their capacity of members of the Dock Committee, or otherwise, to agree that it is immaterial whether their ships are built and repaired in Birkenhead, in Bootle-bay, or eliewhere. It makes every difference to the rate-payers of Liverpool, and to the burgesses who are interested in the prosperity of the Corpo rate Estate. The accommodation required by our ship-building trades ought to be furnished and we We submitted this matter to the arbitration of a most honourable man, Mr. Robert Stephenson. The evidence, pro and con, was adduced in public. Every scientific intelligence within our reach was brought to bear upon it ; and if the verdict has gone against us, however firmly we may still retain our previous convictions—and we confess that we do retain our own in favour of a local supply—we have no right to cram, those convictions down the throats of the public at the public's expense. It is an excellent thing for a portion of the commu nity which dissents from the will of the majority. or the powerful minority, to have a public purse to resort to; but, in this case, we see no prospect of good to result from their exertions. The House of Lerds is, in many cases, the people's hope ; but they will scarcely stir to overthrow the decision of the other House in this matter. Much censure has been cast in certain quarters on the Parochial Water Committee; but we are convinced that those gentlemen performed their onerous and responsible duties faithfully, and only retired when there was no further occasion for their services. THE NEW AMERICAN SHIP " HEMISPHERE." Since the establishment of steam to America, the time occupied in the accomplishment of an Atlantic passage has been decreased from eighteen or twenty days to.nine or ten. 'ln sailing ships a progressive improvement nearly as rapid has been achieved. Scarcely a week passes that we are not called upon to notice some new effort of the naval architects of the western world—some ship whose monster proportions, or whose adaptation to her peculiar trade, renders her unequalled by any predecessor. The Americans justify the title of a " go-a-head people"— but in nothing is this more exemplified than in the energy they have of late years evinced in ship-building. So great has bsen the accession to the tonnage of Livecpool docks that we now stand unequalled, " the port of the world ;" and London, the once great seat of commerce; with all her string of colliers, is left in our wake in num bers, while in tonnage, in imports and exports, we now stand A 1. In our shipping intelligence we recorded, last week, the arrival of the Hemisphere, now on her first voyage from New York. Having been invited to inspect her, we were received by her commander, Captain Whittlesey, from whose polite attention and erudite description of parti cular minutice of the construction of this noble craft, we may glean that she is placed under a command the most able. The Hemisphere is in length over all 183 feet; she has a depth of hold from the main deck of 231 feet ; but her beam being somewhat narrow (36 feet) in proportion to length, she looks "the rake." She is clean in the run, her entrance is fine, and her midship beam is carried well forward to stiffen her for cracking on all canvas. Her side is beautifully rounded, and to the eye she pre sents that happy medium between the clipper and the merchantman, that, while carrying the large cargo of the latter. she will sail with the speed of the former. A neat scroll of floral carving, richly gilt, with trail boards appropriate, heads the stem ; and on the stern, which forms a graceful segment of a circle, is emblazoned in bold relief the eagle of America, whose spreading wings are extended in protection over the star spangled banner. This splendid ship is all but a three-decker. Her topgal lant forecastle is carried aft close to the main hatch, while the poop is carried forward of the main mast, the one forming a splendid promenade for the steerage, the other for second-class passengers. The cabin of the Hemisphere is somewhat English in style, the decorations being more than ordinarly bold and massive. The panneiling of satin wood, with deep-toned rosewood, is large, rich, and effec tive, and the coluams headed by a simple architrave of gold and white give it an aspect of home and comfort. Adjoin ing the main is a second cabin which will accommodate about 100 persons in permanent state-rooms. The topgallant forecastle, we have already stated, is carried well abaft, one portion forming an excellent house on deck, while the other serves as an ample rendezvous for the divided watches. The forecastle and the poop are connected by moveable bridges, thus forming at sea a com plete spar-deck. The lower deck forms one apartment, lighted from side, stern, and deck, and ventilated fore and aft, which is fitted with iron berths throughout. From the lightness of the rig of the Hemisphere, all her spars being solid, but lofty sticks, her strength could not be judged. She is put together most faithfully, no ship of similar material could possibly be stronger ; she has every weight of wood and metal required. Her frame-work is entirely of live oak. Her guardboard streak, of the same material, is 14 inches square. Her bilge-planks or piecesare 15 inches, gradbally diminishing to 9 inches at the clamps. Her breast-hooks are numerous; one alone is 40 feet long, and is bolted from the timbers with 80 rooved fastenings. The keel and kelsons are 5i feet through. The hanging and lodging knees are thickly placed, well formed and finished, and are all white oak. The planking is white oak and yellow pine, and the fas tenings carried through and through, are double rooved. numerous and strong, as required to attain strength. The Hemisphere, American measurement, registers 1,000 tons, but from her clipper build, that capacity will bo exceeded in English register tonnage. She was built by Messrs. Hayden and Cod watb, of Med fort, near Boston, under the personal superintendence of her captain, and as the beau ideal she is not eclipsed by any. M`Gaw, .justly Foster, and Co., of New York, may feel proud of so admirable a craft. She sails as one of the St. George's Line of Packets ; and we cannot refrain wishing ' her a success commensurate with the enterprise of her deserving owners. SUDDEN DEATH. — Yesterday morning, Miss Alice Haves, aged 57 years, who lived upon her own property, at No. 33, Bute-street, (out of Fox-street,) was found dead in bed, and partly dressed. It appeared that she had been ill for some months with a nervous complaint. ACClDENT. — Yesterday afternoon, as George White, a groom in the service of Mr. Goodwin, of Aigburth, was riding a horse belonging to his master, the animal became restive, and both horse and rider fell together: the latter when raised from the ground, was bleeding from the head rather copiously, and was taken to the Infirmary, when he soon recovered and was dismissed. On Saturday, in the Admiralty Court, judgment was given by Dr. Lushington against the British and North American royal mail steam--ship Europa, having run down the Charless Bartlett, emigrant ship, in the Atlantic Ocean, in January last year, during a fog, when, as will be recollected, a great loss of life occurred, and the Chas. Barlett sunk. conceive may he furnished, within the limits of that estate ; and it is within the power of the Council to render their port one of the first in the kingdom for the trades in question. Very shortly it is most probable that we shall see the timber trade transferred almost entirely to the north end of the Dock Estate ' • and it is essen tial with regard to the interests of owners of pro perty in the locality, that its place should be sup plied by some other trad; capable of supporting a large population. The west quays of Brunswick and Queen's docks, with the land now occupied by ACCIDENTAL DEATH.--John Thompson. aged 32, re siding at 4 court, Adlington-street, was at work at Mr. Howard's, brewer, taking in some malt, on Saturday week, when the strap of the hoisting engine gave way. Several of the men went up to the jigger loft to hoist the remainder into the warehouse by hand. Deceased fol lowed them, and accidentally fell from a height of about 12 feet, He was taken home, and thence to the Infirmary, where he died from the injuries yesterday morning. CRICKET.-A match at cricket was commenced on Saturday afternoon between the first eleven of the Wirral and the second eleven of the Victoria cricket clubs, on the ground of the latter, in Birkenhead Park. The play was resumed yesterday, and the result was in favour of the Victoria by a majority of seven runs, the scores being : Victoria, Ist innings 35, 2nd, 60, total 95; Wirral, Ist innings 48, 2nd. 40, total 88. As the Wirral is quite a new club—this being their first match—this result is not discreditable to them, considering that the Victoria is an old-established one, having been formed upwards of six years.--A match between the Olympus and the Preston clubs will take place on . Thursday, next, on the ground of the former, Prince's-park • Wickets to be pitched at ten o'clock ; a considerable degree of interest is excited as to the result of this match, in consequence of their superiority in the respective towns.—A band of music will be in attendance. the Engineer's office, are capable of affording ad• mirable sites for ship-building purposes. The Corporation ought to provide to every builder a graving dock, as they are about to do to Mr. Wilson on the Birkenhead side ; and a further accommo dation might be afforded, which would confer a eery material advantage upon the working classes en gaged in the ship-building trades. At present a serious drawback is felt, arising from the exposure to which the workman is submitted. And this, perhaps, accounts for the fact that a higher rate of wages is paid in Liverpool than in most ship-build ing ports. London, for example, pays 6s. per day to carpenters ; Liverpool ss. per day. In Scotland the wages of a carpenter are 3s. 6d. .per day, and in the North of England 4s. Hence we find that, whereas in the Tyne at the present moment we are informed that about ninety vessels are in course of building, we have barely nine vessels on the stocks in our own town. In Liverpool our carpenters can work only three days in the week on the average, being continually driven from their avocations by stress of weather. Provided with sheds to protect them, our carpenters, even at the wages paid in the North of England,—say at 4s. a day, --would be able to earn a much larger wage than at present with the nominal wage of ss. per day. We are quite aware that provision is proposed to be made for the ship-building business at the north end of the Dock Estate. Graving docks are, at all events, to be provided in that locality. But ship building yards are necessary adjuncts to graving docks; and it is said that the demands of the timber trade will prevent the possibility of supplying these to the extent required. Besides an impression pre vails amongst the trade that the exposure to weather at the north end will be severely felt by the evak. men ; and there is the additional disadvantage of the trade being seated in that locality, that the large population employed by it will be extra paro chial, and contribute by its expenditure nothing to support the burthena of the town. The out town ships, it must be remembered, contribute nothing towards the expense of that pauper immigration `from Ireland, which has of late so unmerially de pressed the interests of the tradesmen Aud rate payers of Liverpool. SCRIPTURE AND THECHURCH.--The Scripture is the sun : the Church is the clock, whose hand points us to, and whose sound tells us, the hours of the day. The sun we know to be sure, and regularly constant in his motion: the clock, as it may fall out, may go too fast or too slow. We are wont to look at, and listen to the clock, to know the time of the day ; but, where we find the variation sensible, to believe the sun against the clock, not the clock against the sun. As, then, we would condemn him of much folly, that should profess to .trust the clock rather than the sun ; so we cannot but justly tax the mis credulity of those, who will rather trust to the Church than to the Scripture.—Bishop Hall. SONTAG ANDMALIBRAN'S FIRST DUET.—The presence of Mademoisselle Sontag at the Italian Theatre was fresh stimulus for Maria's talent, and contributed to its per fection. Each time that the former obtained a brilliant triumph, Maria wept and exclaimed Mon Dieu? why does she sing so well ?" Then from those tears sprang a beauty and sublimity of harmony, of which the public had the benefit. It was the ardent desire of amateurs to hear these two charming artists sing together in the same opera ; but they mutually feared each other, and for some time the much-coveted gratification was deferred. One night they met at a concert at my house; a sort of plot had been laid, and towards the middle of the concert they were asked to sing the duet in Tancredi. For a moment they showed fear, hesitation ; but at last they yielded, and approached the piano, am id s t th e ac c l ama ti ons o f a ll present. They both seemed agitated and disturbed, and observant of each other; but presently the conclusion of the symphony fixed their attention, and the duet began. The enthusiasm theifsinging excited was so vivid and so equally divided, that at the end of the duet, and in the midst of the applause, they gazed at each other, be wildered, delighted, astonished; and by a spontaneous movement, an involuntary attraction, their hands and lips met, and a kiss of peace was given and received with all the sincerity and vivacity of youth. The scene was charming, and has assuredly not been forgotten by those who witnessed it.—" Madame Malibran," per le Vern. tease Merlin. TAE LIVERPOOL Mr. HoRseALL agreed with Mr. Hamlett; that the present site was a very convenient one; and 'might be en - - larged to snit the wants of the public. (Chesrs.) The motion was then put and carried unanimously. . Mr. P. SHAND. Chairman of the West India Associae tion, rose to propose the second resolution. They ex pected the Post-office would be removed to a more con convenient situation, and as to that proposed by the authorities, bis friend Mr. Earle had not made up his mind as to its being a convenient site. Neither had he (Mr. Shand), but he had made up his mind that it would be most inconvenient, and was very much surprised that government should have fixed upon the site without con sulting the mercantile interests of Liverpool. As to the observation that it might be convenient to the railway, that, after all, was only,one half of the question, for there was the railway station in Tithebarn-street, now of very great advantage and convenience •to the public. The speaker then referred to the memorial forwarded to the authorities in 1847, which recommended the Sessions'- house as most convenient for the purpose, mid concluded by expressing his surprise that so inconvenient a spot should be fixed, for he was convinced nine-tenths of the commercial community against it. (Cheers.) Mr. TORR seconded the motion. The question of in convenience to the town had been touched upon, as well as that of the mercantile body. If, however, it was merely a question of convenience to the inhabitants, or simply relating to common letters, all he had to say was, that for their accommodation there were the receiving houses; but, when commercially considered, they must look at the question with regard to the transmission of money-orders, and money by means of registered letters ; and on this point, so far from Mr. Earl's argument being in favour of the present site, he (Mr. Torr) thought it told against it. (Applause.) If the Postoffice was re moved to London-road, there would be greater risk in the transmission of motley ; but the most important con sideration was with reference to the registered letters. Of these, on an average., one hundred was received each day. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Torr) had been at all the banks in the town to ascertain the money letters trans mitted daily. He found that every one were in the habit of doing so ; but the different amounts could not be made up at once. At ono bank, however, he found that in one week £50,000 were sent; and in many instances £70,000, making a' total of not less than £2,500,000 a year. If they took the whole of the banks in tow then they would find, on a moderate calculation, that something like £25,000,000 a yeai was transmitted. That was only one Class which made Use of registered letters. In his own firm on an average they sent one registered letter a day, and some times for very large Sums. He had known one firm receive In one day no less a sum than £50,000 in half notes. They might, therefore, put down the sum thus annually sent at £50,000,000, and if all this was to be risked to boys and 'clerks, passing along some of the least respectable streets in the town, it was a consideration which far outweighed , : any advantages likely to arise by thu removal. (Hear, hear.) The motion was pue and carried unanimously. MreCILOSSIE chairman of the East India Association, had very great Pleasure in proposing the next resolution. When it was first proposed to remove the Postoffice from its present site to the School for the Blind, the East India Association presented a strong memorial against it. They had then an interview with the head Inspector of the Postoffice, and from'what then took place they were under the impression that.it would be abandoned. They were, "T. B.

Again, on the ground meeting had been ascertained. Being a merchant and of cheapness it would be of no advantage, and, therefore, and engaged in the manufactures of the town, he had there could he no reason whatever for the proposal. He often considered the question of a site for the post office, considered a site in Dale-street excellently situated, as it and having in 1847 gone round to obtain signatures to the was about midway between the termeni of the two great memorial which had been read by Mr. Shand, from what railway stations, and either the Saracen's Head, Sir he had learned, and had that day beard, he could boldly Thomas'-buildings, or the Gas Works would answer the say the whole of the public were opposed to the proposed purpose.

(Hear, therefore, the only question which could remain for con- hear.) The speaker complimented the tradesmen of the sideration was that of cost; but he could not conceive town on the unanimity they had displayed on the subject that it would be greater in the places alluded to than in of the bickerings which of late years had been manifested. the higher part of the town. He could scarcely credit; He thought that Liverpool's greatness was now well that the government would—he could not conceive what known, and the true means of attaining it p ro p erl y could be their moving cause to take away the Post-office I understood.

PUBLIC MEETING. A public meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held yesterday, pursuant, to a requisition to his Worship the Mayor, for the purpose of protesting to the Govern ment against the intention of fixing upon the School for the Blind as the site for the new Post-office. The meet ing was numerously and respectably attended, amongst those present being Messrs. T. B. Horstall, Robertson Gladstone, W. Earle, W. P. Freme, J. Bennett, T. L. Hodson ' Woodruff, -Mulleneux, Titherington, Shiel, C. Holland, M'Fie, n Shand, Preston, G. Holt, Rankin', W. Rathbone, Minden, Harold Littledale, Turi, Crosby, H. G. Ireland, 4. smith, Gardner, Tyrer, &c. Precisely at twelve o'clock, John Holmes, Esq., the respected chief magistrate of the borough, took the chair amid warm expressions of applause. - His Wonsniii said the meeting was aware of the object for which they were called together,—namely, to take into consideration .the site of the intended new Post. office, and that it wts the intention of the Government to adopt the present ;Blind Asylum, which many gentlemen considered most inconvenient to the merchants and tradesmen of the town. ( Hear, hear.) Mr. DRIFFIELIi, at the request of the Mayor, read the requisition and. notice calling the Meeting. Mr. Alderman. HORSFALL, President of the Chamber of Commerce, rose to propose the first resolution. He said, permit Me, Mr. Mayor, in the first place, on behalf of this commercial community, to thank, you, sir, for the promptitude with which you have attended to the wishes of the community in convening this meeting. (Hear, hear.) And permit me, in the next place, to express my deep regret that any necessity should exist for having called you, gentlemen, together. But, sir, if a calm, un obtrusive, and respectful memorial to the Government is not attended to, then, Mr. Mayor, I think the time has come when we must adopt what to me is a more objec tionable, but what has ever been found a more effectual course, by holding a public meeting. (Hear, hear.) You are well aware, sir, that the site of the Postoffice of this town, has been, and must necessarily be, a subject of great interest to .the commercial community. (Hear.) So long ago as 1847 I believe a memorial was presented to her Majesty's Government, praying that whatever site was selected it should be within a moderate distance of the Liverpool Eitehange, the acknowledged seat of busi ness ;-:—(hear). = aud in February last, hearing that a site at an inconvenient distance from the Liverpool Exchange had been selected, another memorial was sent to the Postmaster-General, which, in a very short period or time, received the signatures of between three hundred and four hundred firms, praying that a site not more than a quarter of a mile distant from the Liverpool Exchange might be selected. The memorial did not presume to dictate any site, but merely prayed , that it should be within a certain distance fronythe.Exchange. What• was• the effect of that memorial ? Why, sir, it was trans mitted to the Postmaster-General,'-and the only answer which the Postmaster-General has tonfle,Nended to give to the community is merely a printed official fOrm to this effect, signed by Charles Sqhnson : , General Post Office, 2Sth :Feb., 1850. am- commanded by the Postmaster General, to acknowledge the receipt of the Memorial from the . Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, forwarded by you on the 25th instant, and to inform you, that it will receive his Lordship's conside ration. I am, Sir, "Your obedient humble servant, "CHAS. JOHNSON, "for the Secretary. . Mi. EARLZ wished to retiel the insinuation that he came there to oppose the object of the meeting, because he -happened to have a bother a director of the London and North-western Railway. He spurned such an in sinuation. He merely came there to make suggestions, and said there were two sides to the question, and to say it was just possible there might be some advantage even to the merchants. He believed, however, no influence would be used, but that the government had fixed upon the site for their own convenience. As Mr. Holland had alluded to the Chamber of Commerce, there was a subject in which he (Mr. Earle) was interested, and in which he .trusted he should have their assistance. Mr. M'Ffi also exPlained. He had not intended to attribute any wrong metives whatever to Mr. Earle, for he believed him incapable of being so influenced. Mr. EARLE said he was not a director of the London and North-western Railway. and had very little interest in It. The resolution then passed unanimously. ' Mr. RAABBONE moved the next resolution in a brief address, urging similar arguments to those already ad vanced. Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE seconded the motion. He quite agreed' with all that had been said, that the site was a most inconvenient one to the mercantile classes of the community.. The counting-houses and places of business were all centered in the neighbourhood of the Exthange, and, although the government might save money by havinethe post-office adjoining the station, yet the interests of the town required a more central situation, such as the Saracen's Head, or the gas works, which, he believed,.would shortly be for sale. It would be a great inconvenience to sand their clerks to such a distance se veral times during the day ; and he thought there must be some need for an opthalmian institution by those in office to select such a spot (cheers and laughter.) Mr. TYRER, who had been alluded to by Mr. Rath.- bone as having entered into a contract with Government for the site, rose, and said negociations had been entered into, but they were not closed. He had no wish, how ever, to dispose of the property, if by doing so he should be, acting injuriously to his fellow-townsmen. (Loud cheers.) He must say, however, that he should press the Government for a speedy decision one way or the other. The property was bought for an investment, and heihad no doubt would improve before icing. As to the insinuation of Mr. Holland, that there had been back stairs influence at work, he denied it so far as he was concerned. (Hear, hear,) Mr. RATHBONE did not say anything about back stairs influence; and all he said about the contract was,= that if had beeu entered into, the bargain ought to be cancelled, and Mr. Tyrer'compensated. Mr. HOLLAND seid he had no indea of applying the terms to any one, but applied them generally. The resolution then passed as the others. Mr. HAROLD LITTLEDALE moved a vote of thanks to his worship the MAYOR for his conduct in the chair, which was carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated. LATEST INTELLIGENT E.

The market has been very good all week without even an hours' flagging, and the quotations con tinue to creep upwards. London and North-Western stock has been done as high as 110 1, and currently dealt in, in large quantities, at 110, being nearly 3 per cent. over the average of the preceding week. The traffic of this line reported on Thursday shows an increase of £5,120 over the corresponding week of last year, making th 3 whole half year's increase nearly £65,000, which will enable the com pany, for the current half-year, to pay a dividend of 5 per cent., and leave a surplus of about £120,000 ; or si, and leave £80,000; or 6, and leave £40,000, which being for the lesser half year of the two will no doubt give great satisfaction, and very much advance the market-value of the stock. The traffic returns generally (excepting that of the Great Western) have been favourable, and tending to stimulate the demand for investment, which is evidently on the increase. To-day our market is quiet, from so►ne Russian 'rumour, and the American news, and the dealers have laboured to lower prices, but with very little success, as will be seen from the quotations which we annex, which are those of the day's business. Caledonian, 9i; Leeds Fifths, 9 11/3 d; Ditto £32-shares, 9# d; London stock, 1094; Ditto Quarters, 11/3 p; Ditto Fifths, 1 p ; Midland stock, 374 ; Ditto Halves, 26k, 26, 26 1/3 d; Birmingham and Derby, 16a ; Newcastle preference, 5 d. A decree has been issued by the Portuguese Govern ment, dated Lisbon, 29th May, '5O, by which, in future, the bond upon shipments of wines from Oporto to places out of Europe, will not be released without a certificate of their having been landed and cleared for home consump tion at the port of destination, or some other port not in Europe, and that they have not been re-exported to Europe within four months of such clearance. This mea sure will, in all probability, put a stop to indirect supplies to this country. The decision in the Court of Exchequer last week, in the case of the Custom-house frauds, has given great satisfaction. The wish to have this business brought to a conclusion, has amounted to anxiety on the part of the members of the mercantile community, and the heaviness of the penalty inflicted is such as to render a repetition of the offence so dangerous a proceeding, that it is not likely to be again attempted. The arrival of the Europa has had little effect generally upon our markets. A little more activity has certainly been observable in the cotton trade ; but no improvement in value has taken place in consequence. We see that Mr. Stewart, in his New York circular, characterizes the crop recently planted as " unquestionably the most un promising ever grown in that country since it was an article of export ; ' and this gentleman also predicts that " if the peace of Europe is preserved an era of high prices is inevitable." Be this as it may, the demand to-day has been well supplied, and, in fact, the recent arrivals have been so freely brought into the market during the last few days that the retrograde movement of the past week may be attributed to this cause alone, as the reasons for an advance remain fully as firmly established as hereto fore, by the latest intelligence from the States. Another result of the receipt of the packet's advices is, that the tendency to decline in the price of sugar has been checked, the intelligence from Cuba being of a character calculated to destroy the hopes of those parties who were waiting for lower rates. Since Friday there has been no change in the value of cotton. On Saturday there was a more extensive de mand from the trade, and the market was more animated : the sales amounted to 5000 bales, (of which 500 were for export), including 500 Brazils, and 300 Surats, (100 export). To-day the business is 6000 bales, including 1000 on speculation and for export. The value of Wheat has slightly improved this week in many of the English markets, and in the remainder pre vious rates are readily obtainable, the London trade re maining unchanged both on Friday and to-day. The continental markets are also firm, but it is said they are kept up more by speculation than anything else.—The Irish markets are more diversified—some higher, some lower—except for Indian corn, which is generally about 2s. 6d. to ss. per ton cheaper.—ln Brunswick-street the trade'remains firm since Friday. The arrivals have been unimportant during the five days ending Saturday, com prising principally (frown abroad) 10,500 qrs. Indian corn, 2,300 qrs. Wheat ( which is small compared with what we have had lately), and 769 sacks French Flour ; the arrivals coastwise and from Ireland are very trivial indeed. The steam-ship Pacific will sail for New York tomor row, and the Europa for the same place on Saturday. The Welsh Choral Society which has now become so popular, will give their first public performance to-morrow evening, under the superintendence of Mr. Thomas, leader of the Philharmonic society. CHURCH ScHooLs--The anniversary of the national schools in connexion. with the established church will take place in the parish church this morning, at eleven o'clock.
