TONVN-COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. On Wednesday, the Council held its usual monthly meeting. After the deputy Town-clerk had read over the minutes of the preceeding, intermediate, and last meetings, the MAYOR an nounced that he had received a communication from Mr. C shoulrompd - ton, the assessor, stating that he w as in attendance, and have great pleasure in qualifying as a commissioner of the Court of Requests. If the council chose they would send for him, and have the requisite oath adminstered. Mr. Crompton was then sent for, and having taken the oath, bowed, and left the room. The MAYOR said, before they proceeded to read the reports, he would present to them some documents which he had received. A memorial from a Christian Society, signed R. Aiken, was then read, and was an application for the use of the Corpora tion schools, for the instruction of children in the neighbour hood of the schools, and that they . (the society) would be willing to be under the direction of a committee appointed by the council. Mr. RATHBONE moved that it be referred to the education committee, which was agreed to. The next was a memorial from Messrs. Cuthbert, Simpson, & Co., complaining of the vitriol works, carried on by Messrs. Holmes, and Co., as a nuisance, and that their property wa s deteriorted by it. Mr. Councillor BIRCH thought the bye-law relating to these works would come into operation on the 27th of this month, which would take cognizance of the matter. The memorial was ordered to lie on the table. The next was an application from the proprietors of the Apo thecaries Hall, begging that the reversion of that part of the property which was leasehold, and belonging to the corporation, might be sold to them., R e ferred to the finance committee. An application from Mr. Richard Bird, chemist, complaining that he had received notice to quit, owing to the extension of St. James's Market, was referred to the market committee. The MAYOR announced that be had received three memorials, two from butchers, begging that they might not be obliged to remove from the present slaughter-houses, and the other from the inhabitants of Brownlow-hill, praying that they might not be removed into that neighbourhood. Referred to the committee on slaughter-houses. A communication was alluded to by the MAYOR from the debtors of the Borough goal, regretting the death of Mr. Neigh bour. The next was from Mr. Atkins, of the Zoological Gar dens, hoping that the watch committee would not subject him to the expense of the police, who had been in attendance at his gardens from time to time, as he considered their attendance on those occasions to preserve order, as requisite as at any other part of the town. Referred to the watch committee. The MAYoR read a communication from the chairman of the dock committee; embodying a letter from the Lords of the Trea sury, in which it was announced, that after the Ist of November next, the dock estate would come into the management of the Town Council, and that the Town Council would be from that time trustees of the docks. (Hear.) Referred to the dock committee. FINANCE C oMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee, which were not of public interest, were confirmed. LEASES COMMITTEE. A number of applications were read and confirmed. SUB COMMITTEE ON CHURCHES. The TowN-cLertic read a very lengthy report of the sub committee appointed by the finance committee on the 22d of April, to take into consideration the salaries of the clergy, and other items of expenditure of the churches to which the corpo ration were not legally liable. The sub-committee had ma turely considered the matters referred to them, and after several conferences with the town-clerk, with his advice and assistance, submitted the following report. The report then set forth that the corporation were owners of the advowson and patrons of the rectory of Liverpool. As churches to which the corporation had materially contributed, they were entitled to the perpetual advowsons of St. George's, St. Paul's, St. Anne's, St. Luke' s, St. Thomas's, and St. - Martin's-in-the Fields. They had also the advowson of St. Michael's , which had been sold. They had the right of nomination to Trinity Church, St. Mark's, St. Phillip's, St. Bride's, St. Andrew's, St. Catherine's, and St. David's. The endowment deed disputed in the Court of Chan cery secured all stipends and allowances according to the account, seven years previous to the sth of June last, accruing to any of the ministers of those churches. The report then stated the several allowances which had been made to the Rev. Rector Brook, amounting to £7OO per annum, exclusive of £46 18s. IW. for seat rents. By the endowment deed it was in tended to secure to him £7lO per annum in lieu of these sources of stipend. The same allowances were made to the Rev. Rector Campbell. There were four parish curates in the gift of the rector, whose salaries altogether amounted to £720, which seems were intended by the late council to be secured by the endowment deed. The Rev. J. Monk was chaplain of St. George's, and under the act of parliament he was entitled to £5O per annum, or more, at the discretion of the Mayor and council. He had had an allowance granted to him of £265 per annum, more than seven years previous to June and since then bad had £lO5 more per annum granted, making with the £5O, £460. By the endowment deed it was intended to grant him £370, which with the £5O, would make up the £420. On the succeeding incumbent would be secured £250. The Rev. T. G. Leigh, the lecturer, was to be secured £315 for life ; any future incumbent to receive £2OO. The chaplain of St. Thomas's received from seat rents £BO, by a grant from the corporation previous to June 1835, £165, and since then £55 more, making a total of £3OO per annum, which sum it was in tended to secure to him by the endowment. The Rev. J. L. Paine is lecturer, appointed without any authority contained in the act; from similar sources with the above, he has £215 per annum, which it was intended by the endowment to secure. Messrs. Stafford and Formby, ministers of St. Paul's, had each £220 from similar sources, which it was intended by the endow ment to secure. The Rev. Richard Cardwell, the lecturer, had a grant of £lO5 from the corporation, £lOO of which, by the en dowment, it was intended to secure. At St. Ann's Church, the Reverend Mr. Blundell had a total stipend of £2OO, which it was intended to secure. It was intended to secure £lBO to the Rev. Mr. Moss. St. Michael's, St. Luke's, and St. Mark's were not affected by the endowment deed. The corporationr.lid not pay greater stipends to them than were secured by act of parliament. The Rev. R. Davies, of St. David's, had £9O from seat rents, and £lOO as a grant from the corporation, which it was Untended to secure by the endowment. The report then stated the benefices in the gift of the corporation. The corporation have the third avoidance of the advowson of Christ Church, stipend £lO5. St. Mark's Church, stipend £350, has two ministers ; the corporation the presentation. St. Andrew's, one minister- stipend £200; corporation have presentation of the third avoidance. St. Philip's, £135 stipend for each of.two ministers; the corporation the presentation after forty years from the pasiing of the act. St. Catherine's, £250 stipend for one minister; the corporation the presentation after forty years. St. Bride's, stipend £3OO for one minister; corporation the presentation after forty years. St. David's, stipend provided for the minister £9O; one minister; the corporation have the presentation after forty years. Cemetery in Duke-street; the nomination of the .rnineaer vested in the corporation, stipend £100; dwelling-house at the charge of the trust. Chapel for the blind; presentation in the mayor and senior aldermen and the two superiors of, the chapel; stipend £5OO, at the charge of the trust. The infirmary ; the corporation have allowed £4O and £7O for the stipend. The report then stated the allowances as shown by the first table, which were not obligatory nor war rantable under the municipal act. 'The Rey. Jonathan Brooks £150; the Rev. Augustus Campbell, £150; the Rev. J. B. Monk, £105; the Rev. J. C. Prince, £55; the Rev. J. H. Staf ford, £5O; .the Rev. —. Blundell, £4O; the Rev. Mr. Davies, £lOO, making a total of £650 not obli ,, atory. Some otheritems added to this made the total £765. Besides these amounts, the corporation, had been at several other items of expenditure. The first was the expenditure in the churches, in the pews of which the corporation were beneficially interested. In St. George's Church £lO5 of the Rev. J. B. Monk's stipend was not obligatory. Mr. G. Holden, the oreanist's salary of £63 was not obligatory, however proper. The expense of the choir not obligatory; tuning the organ not obligatory ; expense o f music not obligatory. Ll'he other particulars which were obli gatory were also named, but we are obliged to condense our report as much as possible.] The expense per annum of this church was £1,22.5.--4St. Michael's Church. 'The payment for the choir in this church only not obligatory, £62. St. Luke's Church, the choir for one year and quarter £92, not obligatory. - St. Paul's Church, all payments not obligatory. St. Thomas's Church, tuning the organ, the choir, and allowance to the church wardens not obligatory paytnents. As regarded the expediency of continuing those payments reported as not obligatory, and for which the corporation are not liable, the sub-committee did not offer an opinion, referring all to the decision of the council. Mr. Councillor BOLTON begged to propose that this report be printed for the use of the council, and at the next meeting lie would bring forward the subject with respect to limiting the ex penditure to what was obligatory. Mr. BLACKBURN begged to second it. The Mayon said it was a question which regarded the inter est of the C orpora ti on es t ate, h ow f ar it w as e xp e dient , to con tinue expenses which are not strictly legal. Mr. Alderman Buowri said, when the subject came forwards he s)tould move a resolution that none but obligatory charges should be paid. Mr. Alderman Roe iNsoai remarked that he was much struck with the difference between the cost of the churches and the s eat rents. Men must have made strange calculations to build them for speculations. The Council then confirmed the finance committee report and leases committee report. Mr. Councillor E. SMITH wished to make an observation with regard to the printing; it appeared to him that there was much extravagance in executing the work. T he M AYOR said the subject had been referred to two gen tlemen who, he had no doubt, would pay proper attention to it. WATCH COM M ITTEE. It was resolved, that before the Police be paid their salary at the end of the month, tha t the y he re q uired to produce a certi ficate of belonging to some benefit or sick club. part of any change of the s ystem of allowin g the p o li ce a of the fines on informations woul d tend to le ssen the efficiency' of the force, and in the propriety of whic h the lice nsed victuallers had acquiesced. The Committee also proposed to extend the provisions of the local act as to lighting to the new parts of the borough, so that the whole of the borough may be under the same regulation s as the old parts with regard to watching; Report agreed to. The TOWN-CLERK then read an order for the purpose of car rying into effect the resolution with regard to the lighting. Mr. DUNCAN thought that the expenses of li ghting the new part of the borough should not exceed what they had previously paid. Mr. Councillor BIRCH thought that persons who lived beyond the borough limits, and who could not be benefitted by the lighting ought not to be rated for it. The order was then agreed to. IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee, which are not of public importance, were ordered to be confirmed. TO WN-H ALL COMMITTEE It was resolved that the new design for the Mayor's carriage be adopted. Confirmed. MARKET COMMITTEE Resolved, that no alterations be made in the Hay-market a' present. Confirmed. WALLASEY EMBANKMENT. The TOWN-CLERK said that the notice for the appointment of the Commissioners for this embankment came on that day. when appointed, the commissioners would be commissioners 'for life, or till they refused to act, or became incapable of act ing. It had occurred to him that the three members of the -council then to be appointed might cease to be members of the 61 Innil, and the council cease to be represented. He had pre pared a resolution calculated in some measure to protect the council -...—5. Th at • DO members of that council be commissioners on their catchr ceasi ng g to be members of the council, and that it be expedient th at on into the handsto be members they resign their office berg of t ohe council, t e council f or t h e t i me b e i ng. " Th e mem pledge. when elected, being required to give this The resolution was carried. Mr. Alderman Leathern, M erman Browrn. w William Wallace Currie, the Mayor, and Mr. Ald then proposed, seconded, and elected Commissioners of the Wallasey Embankment, each . . giving the requisite pledge. An order, appointing- the three commissioners, was then read by the•Town•clerk and adopted. MAGAZINE COMMITTEE, The committee, appointed to ascertaitt whether amore secure place than the present station of the Powder Magazine could , not be found, reported, that the committee had taken the opinions of the harbour-master, Captain Denham, and Mr. Askew. They had come to the unanimous conclusion, that there was no place on shore more eligible than the present site, and that there were insuperable objections to Hilbre from its inaccessibility and the detention that vessels would be subjected to. It was the opinion of the gentlemen they had consulted, that floating magazines might be placed with advan tage to the shipping, and the danger of an explosion done away with, at about two miles north of the Floating. Light, at Burbo. The committee had not thought it their duty to consider what effect this would have on the trade of the port. Another situa tion pointed out for the Floating Magazine was 'at Waterspool. The committee, according to their instructions, had made en quiries into the value of-land in the immediate neighbourhood of the dep43t. It was stated, that the prices were very much in creased, and were increasing three or four fold, and that land was now sold by the yard and not by the acre, and that land, which two years ago was worth £5 or £6 per acre, had risen to £6OO value five years ago. The removal of the maga zines would enhance the value of land in their immediate vicinity. Mr. Councillor RATHBONE would move, that the committee be re-appointed, with power to investigate the subject in all its bearings, and report to the Council, thereon. He thought they would not find this as time lost. Mr. Alderman Evales was at a loss to know the object of this. With regard to the great risk, he looked upon all these as forced opinions. Nothing would make him believe that, when maga. zines were anchored up where thousands of river craft were always passing, and steam-boats continually passing, the danger would not be increased. But, if they were moored at the Devil's Bank and exploded, they certainly would play the devil with the trade in the river, though where they were the danger was con fined. The only motive, in his opinion, was to increase the value of the land, and, in his opinion, the question ought not to be entertained. It ought to be an instruction to the committee to make the expense of altering the magazines be on the landed proprietors there. Mr. Councillor Moexcaon. seconded Mr. Rathbone's motion. Mr. Alderman LEATHOM thought, that, with regard to adopt ing Waterspool as a situation for the Floating Magazines, the danger would be much increased. About 24.000 barrels of gun powder would pass the town in a year, in vessels past which steam-boats were plying every half •hour. As to the effect the placing the magazines on the outer situation would have on the trade, the merchants would form an opinion. He thought that situation would be objectionable as a matter of convenience. It would be a most costly establishment : two vessels would cost £5OOO or £6OOO each. • Mr. Councillor AIKIN apprehended that it would be absolute ly impossible to get any moorings to hold any vessel outside of the banks. It was well known that the floating-light was continually breaking, with all her immense chains, and though 'only a small vessel. He would venture to say it would be im possible to have the vessels moored outside the bank, and there fore the only alternative was to have the magazines where they were. Mr. Councillor BOLTON, conceiving that the Magazines must remain where they were and that they ought to be built on the safest plan, and conceiving that by delaying this question they were losing the most valuable period of the year for build ing, he would propose that immediate steps be taken for re building the magazines on their present site. Mr. Councillor MORECROFT would ask whether it did not rest with the lessees to rebuild or repair? The TOWN-CLERK said that would be a question for the finance committee. Mr. Councillor BLACKBURN thought that Captain Denham and Mr. Askew were as capable of forming . an opinion on this subject as any gentleman there, and their opinions were en titled to consideration. Captain Denham said that there would be no difficulty or danger whatever in transferring the powder to vessels from floating magazines, as it was now done at the King's ships at the Isle of Wight. The point chosen for moor ing the magazines up the river was in a cur de sac, out of the track of the steamers, and only approachable at high water. It was a mile from each shore, and, even if an explosion did take place, there was a perfect security. The opinion of the master pilots was, that there was perfect security. also at Burbo-bank. It was not much exposed to the turbulence of the tide, and there was not:so much danger of a vessel being washed from her moorings. Captain Denham and Mr. Askew were of opinion that the commerce of the port might be accommodated without any danger or inconvenience with regard to the passing of the powder. He believed gentlemen were not aware of the danger which now existed. Vessels with five hundred or six hundred pounds of gunpowder on board were accustomed to pass between the steam vessels without any protection to the powder. He thought the expense ought to devolve on those persons whose land would be doubled in value by the removal of the Maga zines. He thought that to meet the wish of the public and the general 'anxiety that the enquiry should be continued. Mr. Councillor COGLAN thought they ought not to come to an immediate conclusion on this important subject. He thought the Magazines ought to be considered and treated as a public measure, and leave the onus of finding a proper place to those who profited by the trade. He thought that those, who profited by the trade, and not those who would profit by the removal of the-Magazines, ought to pay the expense. Mr. Councillor LAWRENCE HEYWORTH compared the Maga zines to a railway. The risk and danger was only theoretical; there was no practical danger. . (Loud cries of " Question.") Mr. Councillor RATHBONE spoke in reply. All the argu ments which had been adduced, he thought, went to show that further information on the subject was wanted. The danger was far from theoretical; they had frequently heard of dread ful accidents from the blowing up of magazines. The MAYOR thought, if a stafion were chosen, that Captain Denham's opinions with regard to the changeable nature of the banks should be obtained, in order that they might not. be obliged, perhaps in a short time, to remove the vessels again. The amendment was then put, when there appeared, on a di vision, for it 27 ; on the motion being put, there appeared for it 20. The amendment of Mr. Bolton was therefore declared carried. An application from the Liverpool Agricultural Society, for the usual accommodation at' their annual cattle show, was granted. BOROUGH COURTS COMMITTEE.—SERGEANT-AT-MACE. The subject of the appointment of the Sergeant-at-Mace was 1 taken into consideration, and the committee reported that the salary of the Sergeant-at-Mace had been £l3O per annum, but that his income, with fees, had been £4OO. That the sergeant would, in this case, be entitled to compensation. As the Ser geant-at-Mace was willing to accept the appointment, and abandon his claim for compensation, his continuance in office depending on his own good conduct, the committee thought, under the circumstances, and after mature consideration, that the sergeant should continue in his office, to hold it during pleasure. That the salary of the sergeant shall be £350 a year, in consideration of his whole time being devoted to his office; to have the bailiffs responsible at his risk, and that he provide a clerk at his own expense, to act for him during his absence. That he provide a man to carry the mace. To give security in £100), and two sureties in £2OOO each. Mr. WALMSLEY, seconded by Mr. JORDAN, moved the adop tion of this report, which was carried. COUNTY CLERKS' OF . THE PEACE COMPENSATION. The TOWN-CLERK said he had to lay before the council a claim ' for compensation by - parties who held the office of clerks of the peace for the county, and also by their deputies. The claim was from John Charles Cbalrendon Earl, clerk of the peace for the county of Lancaster, Robert John Harper, to be clerk after the former's decease, and from Edward Gorst and Thomas Birchen, deputy-clerks of the peace, and set forth; that whereas they had been removed, by the operation of the municipal act, from the situation of clerks of the peace for such parts of the new bo rough of Liverpool as bad been included and added to Liver pool by that act; they claimed compensation for the loss of their salary and fees, amounting to about £2OO for the last five years, and therefore claimed as compensation £2087, or £133 per annum for life. The TOWN-CLERK thought the council might reject this claim without pursuing the course observed on former occasions. The claim was then unanimously rejected. GOVERNOR OF THE GAOL. The MAYOR said the next subject for consideration was the appointment of a keeper of the Gaol and House of Correction. A governor had been advertised for, and there had been thirty ndivd namely, five application s f or th e s it ua ti o n, out o f which the sub-commit tee had sel ec t e d s i x f or th e cons id erat i on o f the g aol committee ; and, after ual an ample discussion of the qualifications of the differ rtcandidates, h a d come t o th e reso l ut i o n of recommending one Mr. Batcheldor, the keeper of the present Bridewell. The TOWN -CLERK then read the report of the committee to the above effect. Mr. BLACKBURN thought it would be a satisfaction to the un successful candidates to have Mr. Batcheldor's recommendations read. The letter of Mr. Batchedor applying for the situation was then read, from which it appeared that he had served the cor poration 15 years, 9 of which he had been in the Bridewell, and had become familiar with the persons of most of the bad cha racters in the town. A recommendation was read from Messrs. Ellis and Shuttleworth, the magistrates clerks. A recom mendation signed by Messrs Harvey, Hodgson, Heywood, and Ewart, magistrates not of the council, was read. A; recom mendation signed by eight or ten of the old magistrates, was read. A recommendation sinned by the late Town-clerk, was read. A recommendation signed by Mr. Whitty, superintend ant of police, was read, and a number of recommendations from the various surgeons of the different hospitals, and dispen saries, were read, all recommending Mr. Batcheldor, as eligible for the office. Mr. Batcheldor was then unanimously appointed as governor. ENLARGING THE GAOL. The Towx-contic read the gaol committee report, which re commended a considerable enlargement of the gaolas absolutely necessary, and recommended the alterations proposed to be referred to the finance committee to act as might be found desi rable. A plan of the regulations of the interior with regard to room, was then read. Mr. Alderman RAWDON seconded by Mr. Alderman BAR CLAY, proposed that it shall be adopted. Carried. The MAYOR announced that a deputation of magistrates would wait on the county magistrates at their meeting, at Preston, to enter into arrangements with regard to Kirkdale gaol. All male prisoners would be sent to Kirkdale, and the Borough gaol would be kept for debtors, for female prisoners, and for pri soners before trial. With these regulations, a new goal would not be needed. The TowN-CLERIC said it would be necessary to appoint a day for bringing forward the bye-laws. If that day fortnight were appointed, they would be .ready, and the council might, also, at the same time make the necessary appointment of surveyor of buildings. Mr. Councillor BOLTON moved an adjournment of a fort night, which was adopted. The council then adjourned at three o'clock to Wednesday week, after sitting four hours. The beautiful rotunda of Limbur , erected on the summit of one of the steepest mountains in Germany, near Aix-la-Cha pelle, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 27th. A ball had been given in the evening, which continued till three o'clock in the morning. Soon afterwards the inmates of the hotel were alarmed by cries of fire, and in a short time the whole edifice was but a mass of smoking ruins.—Brussels paper. • Some pitiful miscreant has attempted to disfigure' the eques trian statue of George 111. in London, by throwing over the pedestal a quantity of black composition similar to paint. At races, last week, M. A. P ourrat was perm i tte d to exhibit g b hm e a fore his Majesty his invention for detaching runaway horses from gigs.

TEM COINERS.—On Tuesday Edward Arnett ; sea., who was remanded on suspicion of being connected with the coiners of Virgil•street, was discharged, the mint declining, in his case, to prosecute. JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—On Tuesday, at. the Police-office, a disorderly female, named Margaret Henry, was placed before the magistrates charged with having stolen a watch from a boy named Edward Clark. The complainant, a cadaverous-look ing young man, dressed in a blue trock coat, and who, consider ing the nature of the charge, had a pretty considerable quantity of assurance, addressing the magistrates, said, "My companion and me went to the theatre last night together, and met that young woman, and my companion had a bottle of ruin in his pocket, and he gave her some, and we shared it, and I don't remember whether I went with her or not, but this morning I missed my watch." Mr. Hall.—" Pray how old are you ?" Complainant.—" Seventeen." Mr. Hall.—" Is it notdisgrace ful that a boy like you should be getting so drunk that you don't know what you do, and then going into such. company , as this? Do you live in the town?" Complainant.—" Yes." Mr. Hall. —" What are you ?" Complainant.—" I am a workman with my father." (A laugh.) A police-officer said that the night before he had received information from the complainant that he had lost his watch, and he learned that it bad been pledged for a sovereign. The pawnbroker said that the prisoner had long been in the habit of pawning articles, but had always re deemed them. The complainant said the watch was his father's, and that he had only had it lent. The prisoner said that the complainant had accompanied her home, and had given her the watch to pawn. Mr. Hall decided that as the complainant ap peared to have been in such a state of, intoxication that he did not know whether he-did or not authorise the prisoner to pledge the watch, he should order the prisoner to be discharged. • AN ACCOMPLISHED CH A ACTER,—On Tuesday, at the Police office, a female named Mary Lynch and her husband were placed before the magistrates charged with creating - a violent disturbance in the street the night before. A policeman stated that the night before the female prisoner was creating a great disturbance in Crosshall-street, and he desired her to go home, she went towards home, and shortly after he saw her husband thrusting her out of the house and beating her. The husband was " duly" sober, but the wife was a " little" drunk. An el. derly woman, named Mary Wickley, the mother of the female prisoner, and who appeared with her face covered with bruises, said that her daughter (the prisoner) had abused her shamefully, and at night she came in again, and was going to repeat her conduct when she looked out for a policeman to take her into custody, and not seeing one she asked her (the prisoner's) hus ' band to protect her, and put his wife out, which he was doing when the constable came up and took them both into custody . . " Oh.she is a treacherous bad girl your worships." The pri soner (shrieking out)—" 0 mother, mother ; isn't this hard, isn't this hard ? And the police used me in such a way that they put my shoulder out, and a surgeon had to be sent for to the coal-hole last night to pet it in. Oh dear me, oh dear me !" Batcheldor said that the prisoner was one of the worst charac ters in tho town ; she had been repeatedly brought up for as saulting her mother; and as for putting her shoulder out, she could throw it out when she liked—she was quite mistress of the art. She had even thrown it out in court ou one occasion when brought up in order to excite commiseration. So long as 18'27 she had been put under bail for assaulting her me:her. Pri soner—" Oh, I will be 'good; let me off but this time. Oh my poor shoulder, it aches to my very heart." (Laughter.) Mr. Hall ordered her to pay 40s. and costs, or in default to be com mitted to the borough jail for one month, and discharged her husband. The prisoner was taken down, shrieking out in a manner intended to be very pitiful. A NICE POCKET FULL.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, a filthy looking man named Francis •M'Catarack was placed be fore the magistrates charged with having stolen a glass, the pro perty of a person named Thornton, who keeps a beer-house in the neighbourhood of Scotland-road. The complainant, ad dressing the magistrate, said, "Last night 1 saw this man come into my house, and after looking about him, pocketed a glass off the table; so, going up to him in a gemman-like way, I axes your pardon, sis I, but be so gobd as show me the purse as is in your right-hand breeches poclset. Certainly, sis he, and he forks out this here tumbler glass, and I'm bloomed if it warn't half full of ale ! (Laughter.) We are continocally losing glasses, and it is time we made some sort of an example." The prisoner said he was " werrey tipsey," and thought he was putting hii pipe in his pocket. Mr. Hall said, in that case, according to his own story, they should fine him ss. for being drunk. BEA a BAITING.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office, a person. named Wm. Green was summoned before the magistrates on an information laid by inspector M'Culloch•.charging him with keeping a bear and baiting it. Inspector M'Culloch deposed that on Monday, the 29th ult., he went to William Green's house in Freemason-row, Vauxhall-road, and there saw a large area fitted up as a ring, with fifty or sixty . persons there. In the ring was a large bear, and a dog in the act of baiting him, whilst twenty or thirty dogs were there muzzled. The defendant had been fined 40s. about live months before for the same offence. Mr. Hall said this shameful cruelty must be put an end to. De fendant : Oh; it is no cruelty at all; I have the bear dressed in another bear's skin, and the dogs can't hurt him, and he can't hurt the dogs; it isn't like bear baiting in London, where the bears are quite naked.—Mr. Hall: I think you would find out whether it was cruel or no if you were dressed in the bear's skin. Defendant : I would not care twopence to be bagged and baited myself in the same road.—Mr. Hall : If you will promise me to let all the dogs come at you and worry you in the same way, I may believe you that it is not cruel.—Defendant: Yes, I will; I'll let all the dogs in.

CORRESPONDENCE. CAUTION TO STRANGERS ATTENDING THE ZOO LOGICAL GARDENS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR.,—A few days ago a gentleman of the name of Bradley, a timber-merchant from Halifax, in Yorkshire, visiting the Zoo logical Gardens here, gave the elephant a piece of bread with his hand. From the rough manner of the beast, in taking it, the gentleman was not willing again to risk his hand, but put a piece of bread in his hat, and offered the same to the elephant, thinking he would take it out, instead of which he took the hat, tore it in pieces, eat the bread, and threw the torn hat in the face of the gentleman. I understand it was a new hat, and T. had not been worn many times.—Yours, &c., . THE BIBLE versus MR. BLACKBURN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Stit,—lt must appear evident to every reader of the pamphlet re cently published by Mr. Blackburn, that the principal object of the author was, not so much to defend the system pursued at the corpo ration schools, as to serve a political party. lie seems to be quite alarmed, lest the late proceedings of the councilrespecting the schools should in any way operate to diminish the influence of that party with which they are identified, and of which he is the avowed cham pion. It is not surprising that he should feel alarmed ; for he add his party may rest assured that there still does exist, not only among the people of Liverpool, but throughout the British empire, so much of truly christian feeling and knowledge, as will cause them to spurn, and reject with indignation, every sinister attempt to seduce them from their principles ; nor are they so ignorant as not to see the 'ulti mate designs IF of the pro-popish party, and to perceive that this experiment of education is only put out as a feeler, which. if successfully introduced, would only prepare the way for further encroachments on protestant freedom. The despisers of the word of God will never rest satisfied, until they can banish its sacred truths from the world. lam very far from classing among such the respect ' able author of the •' Defence ;" but it is a dangerous thing to be in close union with such characters: the best of men have often, by such means, been led into great errors. To make use of a vulgar expres sion, these parties, with whom Mr. Blackburn is acting in concert, and whose dark ends he is, I trust unconsciously, aiding to accom plish, have "let the cat out of the bag" too soon for their purpose, which may be hailed by the christian public as a providential circum- stance. '• Fore-warned is fore-armed." It may, surely, be considered a matter of some surprise that the author did not take a little more pains to learn something further about the " national system" prior to his engaging to write in its de fence. Had he done so, he might have easily ascertained the total falsehood of that assertion of the popish priests—that the Roman Ca tholics of Ireland would not allow their children to be instructed in schools where they were to read the unmutilated word of God. — There arc abundance of authentic documents, to which he might have had easy access, which would have proved to him that the above declaration is contrary to fact. It should be kept in mind that ' the views and feelings of the Roman Catholic clergy and of the great majority of the laity are completely at variance on this subject, as shall appear by the following statements. I may here just mention that I have, for the last thirty years, had a perfect knowledge of the state of education in Ireland, and am, therefore, entitled to speak with some confidence on the Subject. About thirty years ago a few English gentlemen formed themselves into a society, called the London Hibernian Society, for establishing schools, and circulating the holy scriptures in Ireland. The funda mental rules of this society were, to give gratuitous scriptural educa tion to the poor of Ireland—to put into the hands of the scholars in theirschools the authorised vernal: of the scriptures, without either note or comment—to allow of no catechism whatever in the schools— and to forbid the teaching of any particular doctrine. When the schools in connexion with this society were first established, nearly all the teachers appointed in them were Roman Catholics, while the priests were solicited to become overseers of the schools in their re spective neighbourhosels, which some of them did. The schools went on in this way for some years, when a great number of the teachers became—by means of reading and teaching the scriptures—protest ants. The scholars also used to carry home the scriptures, and read them to their parents and others; by which means the people ac quired a strong desire to read and possess the word of God, and many thousands of copies of the scriptures were, in consequence, distri buted-among the people. By thus perusing the scriptures many of the Uoman Catholics became arowedprotestants ; whilst many others, although they did not separate from the Church of Rome, yet gave up many of its absurd doctrines, and would not, as they had done for- merlv, allow the priests to domineer over them, nor permit them to lord it over their consciences. Then the clergy look the alarm, and most strictly forbade the. parents— at the peril of their curses—to send their children to these schools. A few of the children were taken away from them ; but many thousands, disregarding the fulminations of the priests, continued to send their children, and the schools went on rapidly increasing; indeed, nothing but the want of funds prevented them from spreading over the whole kingdom, and embracing the whole population of Ireland. During this period, the Kildare-street Society's schools were also making rapid progress, as were also the schools of the Baptist Society. In the year 1832 there were in the Hibernian schools alone about 36,000 Roman Catholics receiving a scriptural education. The other schools were attended, in like manner, by many thousands, as will appear by their reports. While this was the state of education in Ireland, the Roman Catho lic clergy, assisted, I am sorry to say, by many dissenters, had influ ence enough to get the education bill passed. Now if- the author had made himself acquainted with the real state of the case. (and this he could most easily have done,) he would not have gratuitously assumed that the Roman Catholics would rather re main without education, than he educated in schools where the scrip tures were freely read. This fallacy he has deliberately laid down as the premises or foundation of all his reasoning. lf, therefore, his foundation is false, the whole superstructure must necessarily fall. That this is the cause every impartial reader must acknowledge, if he will only take the trouble to consult the authenticated reports of the Hibernian Society, the Kildare-street Society, and the Baptist Society. For further confirmation on thisoint I would refer to the volumes of the Baptist and Evangelical Mas a zines, previously to the year 1832 . Let us next examine what influence the " national system of edi tion" is likely to exert over the minds of the Roman Catholics. Here, it is necessary to mention that the priests impress the minds of their people that the Bible, as a whole, is calculated to lead them into error. The " national system" confirms this impression, and this is its chief recommendation to the priests. It now rests solely with them what instruction they may please to give. The scriptures they never will, if they can help it, permit the people to obtain or to read. In this way this antischirstian system effectually precludes the mass of the poor people of Ireland from all knowledge of the word of God, ex cepting what it may suit the purposes of the priests to concede to .them. Is it not, I would ask, a great crime to cause the ignorant, de luded Roman Catholics to believe that a great part of the word of God is of a dangerous character, and that they should not read it in its in- tees-ay lest it should lead th em i n t o error / Is it not equivalent to telling them that God did not speak the truth, when he declared that all scripture was " profitable, and able to make wise unto salvation ?" This is surely awful impiety ; and can it be deemed a trivial matter for protestant: to countenance so fatal a delusion 1 Air. Blackburn commences his " Defence" by sneering at those who have so nobly stood forwards in this town as the advocates of scriptural education, and who have so ably vindicated the unmutilated word of God. Ile plausibly Insinuates that they are not influenced so much by religious motives, or by love for the . Bible, as by some political purpose. He alleges that formerly they had not evinced any such concern for the word of God. He might have found a reason for their conduct without travelling so much out of his way as to impute political Motives. The melancholy fact is, that for hundreds of years no attempt has been made in this country, by men in power, to Inter fere with the free use of the whole Bible, much less to deny its pe rusal, under any circumstances whatever, to protestants. Reed we wonder, then, that such a novel, hut criminal attempt should be stre nuously resisted by the clergy of protestant England? No language of reprobation is too strong to designate such an attack upon liberty of conscience ; and any nominal christians who join with the oppo nents of the word of God, and.sanction them in keeping it from poor, ignorant, and perishing sinners, must be considered as co-operators with the great enemy of souls. 'lt is under the baneful influence of political bigotry that our author speaks of the meeting at the Amphi theatre, and of those who were the promoters of that meeting. Ido not write either to abuse or eulogise any man; but I must say, as an indifferent spectator, that no nobler motive of action could be evinced by any man, than was manifestly displayed on this occasion. The grand end seemed to be, to vindicate the whole Bible as the only sound basis of education ; and they who assert this enlightened prin ciple are the only true friends of Roman Catholics, whilst those who would sanction their errors, for the puryose of retaining their assist ance, in the prosecution of political objects, must be proclaimed as their enemies—the enemies of their present peace and final salvation, In showing the comparative excellency of the " national system,' one might have reasonably expected to see Mr. Blackburn contrast it with the scriptural system in Ireland, and not with schools set up for children of one denomir.ation only. Such fairness and candour, how ever, did not suit his purpose. His attempt to throw some kind of odium on those who are opposed to his political party, by representing them as willing to apply a dif ferent rule to the rich from that which they act upon towards the poor, is quite characteristic of his loose mode of reasoning. lie lays down false premises, and then proceeds to reason from them as if they were true. Let us hear what he has to say upon this point, lie says, " suppose a gentleman was to call upon any one of these Rev. teachers, and say, ' I wish to place my son under your tuition, but I am a Roman Catholic, and do not approve of the reading of the authorized version of the scriptures, and I must request that you will not in any way interfere with his religious opinions ;' would such an application be refused ? Common sense sass at once and without any hesitation, it ought not to be refused." The case is here very unfairly stated, for it implies that the religious opinions of scholars in the scriptural schools are interfered with, which is by no means the case. Had the author put the case fairly, it would have been thus :—" My son will neither read, nor sit to hear read, the authorised version of the scrip tures :" and I am persuaded that the answer of any of the Rev. tfen tlemen to whom he alludes would have been to this effect—" Sir, I read in my school, and cause my-pupils to read, the authorised ver sion; but Ido not interfere wi their religious opinions ; and if your son cannot conform to this rule, I cannot take him under my care." This, indeed, is the very 1 garage used by the conductors of the scriptural schools in Ireland, It is alleged by Mr. Blackburn that the " national system" is cal culated to create union and cordiality amongst different denomina tions. I would appeal to every man of common sense, whether the system which separates the scholars, and places them under the control of their particular clergy, or that method by which they are instructed in one body in the scriptures only, is best adapted to pro duce peace and harmony. I can spealt,from my own knowledge, of the effects resulting from the two systems ; and my experience informs me that, where children have been educated in scriptural schools, they have grown up in amity and cordial union together, and that their parents have uniformly been assimilated to them in these amiable characteristics; which has never been the case under the national system, the fruits of which have been discord, hatred,land bigotry. A further difference may be noticed : the inhabitants in the vicinity of scriptural schools have been characterized by greater correctness of moral conduct, than is exhibited in districts deprived of this bless ing.no is Mr. to t calculatedl3lack bu rne 's produce rema r mni4 and uncharitableness If directly , l ea u d n t e ot a h r e i t i ab nf l e e r n e e n s c s e i? t l h f theattb Doesis i Bible s really Why does he not originate a " Society for the Diffusion of Scri p tural his opinion, why does he support the Bible S oci et y Extracts 1" What a pity it is that so much ignorance has existed on the subject among pious people 1 How much- treasure has been ex pended—how much labour has been undergone—to bring "peace and good will" upon earth, by disseminating the unadulterated word of God, when the thing couldlae so much better accomplished by banish ing the Bible from the world ! Shades of Owen, Henry. Baxter, Watts, and Doddridge I look upon the degeneracy of modern Dis senters, and shame them out of their hollow profession of attachment to your principles. Mr. Blackburn's criticism on the passage in Genesis is glaringly incorrect ; for if the promise is made to the woman, that she shall bruise the serpents' head, (which promise implies the whole work of redemption,) it is of little consequence what agent she may employ to effect that work ; she must still be looked upon as the ePciesit cause. The promise made to Abraham, which our author states to be of the same import, is widely different. The promise made to Abraham is, " that in him, Sty.," plainly intimating, (as the Apostle reasons in the 3d chapter of his Epistle to the Galatians,) that to his seed the promise was made. Did this mean that the promise was made to Abraham personally? Mr. Blackburn seems to have very little acquaintance with the formularies of the Roman Catholics, when he says, that they pray to the Virgin Mary only as an advocate. A great number of their prayers are addressed to her as if she were the Deity: indeed, the Pope, in one of his letters to his clergy in these realms, la menting the great inroads made on the church, by the circula tion (d . the Bible, and by other means, exhorts thetn to apply for succour to the blessed Virgin Mary, for that to her they were to look for their only hope to console and preserve them in all their troubles and difficulties. He does not once mention the name of our Saviour as having any thing to do with • the matter. I know that many Roman Catholics declare that they only address the Virgin as a mediator, but their practice in this, as in other instances, gives the lie to this declaration. The doctrine respecting conscience, broached in the pamphlet, is absurdly erroneous.

How TO ASTONISH FLIES.—On May-day a German youth in Mazyckburg, North America, strewed some gunpowder on the stole counter, with the view of exploding it, and killing a num ber of flies which annoyed him. Tho flies settled anionK the powder, which the boy set fire to, and effectually accomplished his object, hut he had forgotten to remove the barrel whence he had taken the gunpowder, which also exploded, and took away the roof of the store, lifting it bodily into the street. COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Lyra packet, which reached Falmouth on Saturday, with th' Leeward Islands' mail, has brought advices from St. Tho mas's to the 7th ult., and from the other islands to correspond ing dates. Scarcely an arrival occurs from the West Indies without conveying additional proof of the irregular manner in which Lord Glenelg exercises his functions as secretary for the colonies. At Tobago, it appears, Lord Glenelg had endea voured to appoint the clerk of the House of Assembly, against the wish of that body, and without any precedent for such a step on the part of the colonial secretary. One of the members, on alluding to this subject, said that the colonial legislature in re pelling such competency were not assuming powers higher than those possessed by the English parliament. "It would he a stretch of despotism," continued the member, " that the crown would scarcely hazard, were it to attempt either forcing a speaker, clerk, or other functionary, on the House of Commons at home." The Tobago Chronicle, of the 6th of July, says— " The pedestal on which this most original and most unprece dently acting administration have taken their stand is not so firmly fOunded as that indications of its tottering do not reach above the roar of waters' of the Atlantic. This interfer ence by referring to a judicial decision,' as is expressed, whether the House of Assembly can, consistently with its own dignity, and the suffrages of its constituency, appoint (by ma jority) a clerk for recording their own proceedings, is really, calmly and considerately speaking, one of the most gratuitous interventions which the unprecedented system has furnished us with since whig accession." Mr. Henry Light, the newly ap pointed Lieutenant-Governor of Antigua, who arrived there in the beginning of July, opened the legislative session of the island on the 29th of July. His speech, as well as the replies of the Council and House of Assembly, are only remarkable for the reciprocity of feeling which they sbow to exist between the different branches of the legislature. The reply of the House of Assembly of Barbadoes to the speech from the gover nor on opening the session contains the following paragraph, and which is the only one worth extracting ;—" The very heavy duty of 41 per cent. levied by the mother country on the gross produce of the exhausted lands of this old colony renders fur ther taxation a grievous burden to the people. '1 he changes in our institutions, however, require sacrifices which have not been Unwillingly made, and your excellency may be assured that the expenses of the current year will be regulated by a strict re gard to economy." Our private letters from Jamaica draw attention to a bill in troduced into the House of Assembly, by order of the Gover nor, laying an indiscriminate duty of 2i per cent. on every description of manufactures from Great Britain or her,posses sions, foreign goods in bond alone being exempt from its. opera tion. As no drawback is allowed on the re;exportation of goods, such a duty will be most onerous and oppressive to British im porters and manufacturers. A committee had been appointed, and representations forwarded to the Treasury and the. Board of Trade. 'Our attention has been drawn to the Crown duties on wines and other articles as imported, under the 4th of Geo. 111., into the provinces of British North America. But for the impolicy of the present duties there is no doubt but an impor tant trade would arise with the Mediterranean in low wines, fruits, corn, oil, &c. As it is, the carrying trade is thrown into the hands of the United States, where an alteration of the duties on wines to merely a nominal amount is already contemplated, A pipe of 120 gallons, costing £5 steeling in the Mediterranean, shipped to the United States, brought into these colonies, pays only 71 per cent. ad valorem being 7s. 6d.; whilst, if the same was imported direct by a iritish vessel, it would have to pay £3 10s. It is high time, therefore, that representations should be made to our do-nothing Government in the way of utility to the effect of this ill-judged measure.—Morning Herald. By the arrival of two ships, the Vaniittart and - Thomas Lowry, we have received papers and private letters from Can ton to the 15th April inclusive.

This vessel had made an unusual quick passage from London against the monsoon, having takers out letters of nearly two months' later date than the Thomas Lowry.
