PIDDING'S Chinese correspondent heads his last communication from Fo-kein. " Heaven," he adds, "approving, has rained down blessings on the Central Nation. In the same Season, Peace is proclaimed, and Plenty crowns the Land. Since the year 4448," (A. D. 1811,) " when the Earth was revivified by the broom tailed Star," (comet,) - vegetattotrnag not been so luxuri ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality ; whilst the plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf. Thus has nature conspired with the gods to make man happy." The new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS, just received, realises all that be anticipated from the above communication. Their quality is most assuredly the finest he has known. Their abundance—with a remis sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to reduce the price below what they have ever before been harged. CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA is accordingly REDUCED from Bs. 6d. the Catty Package to 6s. the Pound Package.

THE immense size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH has hitherto enabled its Proprietors on all occasions to present a copious, and, at the same time, interesti n g account of the events of each week. It is, however, now found utterly impossible to give anything like a faithful report of the trial of Mr. O'Connell and his Repeal Asso ciates, without excluding a great mass of interesting do mestic and foreign intelligence. The Proprietors, there fore, feel that their journal, which has been for years, and is now, honoured with more patronage than any other In existence, should be, in all respects, complete; and with that view, they intend to insert a summary of the proceed.. ings during the progress of the trial i n th e i r usua l co l umns, and present to their friends and subscribers TWO SUPPLEMENTS, GRATIS. One of these Supplements will be published on the Sun day succeeding the delivery of the Verdict, and will contain the SPEECHES of Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Shell, Sir C. O'Loghlin, the Attorney-General, and other leading counsel, together with the Summing up of the Judge, the Verdict of the Jury, and other matters of importance that may arise up to the latest hour, for which the services of several Short-hand Writers of eminence have been en flayed. The second Supplement (also of the full size of The Weekly Dispatch) will, in fact, form the early por tion of the trial, and embrace the proceedings from the commencement to that stage at which the other begins ; so that every subscriber to The Weekly Dispatch will be in possession of a complete and faithful report of this great national trial—a trial which must become a matter of history, and be regarded as an event of no ordinary im portance in after time. A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF MR. O'CON NELL will precede the account of the Trial, which will be written by a gentleman intimately acquainted with the " Great Agitator," and consequently one who bas trea sured up many reminiscences that will render the Biogra phy a paper of general and absorbing interest. The Two Supplements, forming NINET Y-S I X COLUMNS, will be printed uniformly with The Des patch, and contain a quantity of matter equal to at least an Octavo Volume of FIVE HUNDRED PAGES. Orders received by every Bookseller in Town and Country, and by Mr. Woon, Dispatch Office, 139, Fleet street, London.

Yesterday, a special meeting of the Council was held at' the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking into considers.. tion and determining upon the proceedings of the Dock Committee, on the subject of further dock accommodse. tion, north and south of the present line of docks, uptr which the Council of the 31st of Oct. last came to the fel% lowing resolution,—" That it is expedient that a special, meeting of the Council should be called for an early day after the 9th of November next, to take into consideration the subject of going to Parliament for power to purchase' land, &c., to the north and south (both or either) of the' present line of docks, for further dock accommodation and also for power to make a communication by water from the proposed new north docks, eastwardly, to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and to purchase land neces sary for that purpose ; and that in the meantime the Dock Committee be at liberty to give the requisite parliamentary. notices, all proceedings thereon being subject to the de termination of the Council, as trustees, at a special meet ing to be called after the 9th of November next," and all, subsequent proceedings of the Dock Committee relating tO, the same subject; and also to take into consideration the proceedings of the Finance Committee, with reference to the town dues, and comprising the appointment of an out door officer at £250 per annum. The M AYOR took the chair at eleven o'clock, at which time there were about 30' members in their respective places. The DEPUTY TOWN-CLERK was about to read the pro ceedings of the Dock Committee, when Mr. PARKER rose and said, be should wish the Town-. clerk to read the sth and 6th of Victoria, chap. 101, s. 2r inasmuch as it might save some discussion. The TOWN-CLERK immediately complied with the re— quest. The section set forth that it should not be lawful' for any member of a town council to vote or take part in any discussion in which such member should, either di rectly or indirectly, either by himself or his partner or partners, have any pecuniary interest whatever. Mr. NORTH said, it had been stated over and over' again before, and that he wished to state it now againr that there was no intention on the part of the Harrington Dock proprietors to take part in the discussions or divi-. sions on this subject. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE thought the Harrington Dock. proprietors might take part in the discussion, provided, they confined themsel v e s t o th a t part o f t h e su bj ect w hi c h' related to the purchase at the north end of the town. He called attention to the fact, that all the members of the council were interested in this great question, either di rectly or indirectly. The TOWN-CLERK admitted that there was a general interest which the law could not possibly be intended to affect. It was difficult, however, to separate the subjects of north and south. Mr. HonGsoN expressed a hope that this preliminary matter should be rightly understood. The question would be, whether the proposed improvements should be made; and then the next question would be, as to how they should deal with the property itself. In other words, the question would be, whether docks should be made at the north or south, or both, and then they would have to de cide as to the land they were to purchase. If, there fore, those who happened to have an interest in the Har rington Company were to be precluded from discussing and voting on the question, others would hereafter be pre vented from considering any improvements in the town. Mr. EvANs said they had to deal with positive law in the matter. With regard to the Dock question, it was either one question or else it was many. It was-either north and south combined in one, or else it was the north • against the south. The question, therefore was, whether interested parties should engage in a decision of the south as a7ainst the north. Mr. H. HORNBY. as one interested in the Harrington Company, expressed his willingness not to take part in either the discussion or the division. He contended that the members of that company could not vote for the pur chase of the estate, nor vote in any way on the subject, as the voting against the purchase of the north might in directly secure the purchase of the south, and vice versa. Mr. HonosoN thought he should have a right to call upon all parties to vote if he submitted a motion, to the effect that docks be made north and south. Mr. RIRKETT coincided in opinion with Mr. Hodgson. _ _ _ _ bmui M tg hw r t . hh ß e an L y A et : e B weightuandsail; distinct n i e d ea that Mr. thiAaoldnrs. not ottdobgenseoonnr th a a n r d g u s M o ue mentioned;lit it was an evasion to put the subject generally. It was a question of simple law; and in a matter of the kind, where parties might be pecuniarily interested, the law ought to be construed strictly. Some further conversation occurred, at the close of which, it was understood that parties interested in the Harrington Company could not take part in the discussion. The DEPUTY TOWN-CLERK having read the proceed- ings of the Dock Committee, Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE asked how the proceedings were to be dealt with ?—whether their confirmation would depend on a bare majority of the Council, or whether the veto would have to be exercised, only two-thirds of the Council being present. The TOWN-CLERK, at considerable length, replied to this question. He first called attention to the origin of the dock estate, and to its altered constitution in recent years ; after which he cited the opinions of Mr. Wight man, Mr. Cresswell, Mr. Starkie, Sir John Campbell, and Mr. Henderson, to show that the determination of the present question must be by a simple majority of the council, not depending on two-thirds to annul and one third to confirm. Mr. BIiiMCEY" -MOORE then rose and moved—" That the proceedings and resolutions of the Dock Committee, from the 28th of September to the 24th instant, so far as the same related to extended dock accommodation, be confirmed ; that the Dock Committee be authorised to prepare and present a bill for carrying the same resolu tions into effect, laying before the trustees the plans so soon as they shall have been printed and prepared, the Dock Committee having full authority to proceed with the bill, the Dock-solicitor conferring with the Town clerk on the subject, and settling the same with him, subject to the approbation of the trustees ; and that the Dock Committee be authorised to affix the seal of the trustees, preparatory to the bill being brought in." In proposing this resolution, Mr. Moore spoke for upwards of an hour and a quarter. He commenced by saying, that some little misunderstanding appeared to exist in the minds of certain members, with respect to the report of the Dock Committee not having contain d any particular recommendation. But no resolution on his head was ne cessaryor called for, inasmuch as resolutions recommend- ing dock extension were i n ex i s t ence th ree mont h s s i nce . And, further, it was unnecessary on the present occasion to deal with the plans. They had five or six w e e k s be fore they need come to any decision as to the plans. It m ight be as well, however, to state that the plans had been under consideration—that a great many others had been submitted, and that the estimates would not be materially altered, probably not more than about £5,000 to £lO,OOO. (Hear.) He believed it would be a waste of time were he to occupy the attention of the council at any length in proving the necessity that existed for dock extension. With such an array of evidence as had been taken, he be lieved they would be all pretty much agreed that dock ex tension was required. He might, if he were so inclined, detain them with a history of the number of times the flags had been flying—the number of years the docks had not been run dry, and the danger incurred by keeping them in their present condition ; but all this was unneces sary. He contended that there had been a great and re gular progressive increase of not only the commerce• of the town, but of the shipping generally. If the, went back, for instance, to 1751, and divided the" yearsending 1843, 676,000 ; and for the past in the eight years ending 1835, 542,000 ; went timethclhBr: ealdat9 eoti s b thni n a eenh c rcatoe k ehdne bbf a cheryo s oeammnd f fi a m: r t2beie a c le s :000c their atsoenvpse progressive ginryeetsa: records riesv ,eeexi eight a e hhn n et dy d y e ew d agor ; rsue i lafedtnt ending findiiennyg. would find thin the 31st December, '43, as compared with m rc e e t o o f t t i h m e e port. ln t eight h T e hey years ending iylneBa2 year, the, ending eight , n ooo t g the year ending the 31st of December, '42, there had been an increase of 210,408 ton s , w i th an increase in the re ceipts of £218,000. (Hear, hear.) This would settle the question as to the increase of trade ; and he begged it to be understood that these returns had been taken from official documents. He had heard it remarked that some persons experienced a difficulty in reconciling the quan tity of tonnage here and that of London with the customs receipts of both places. The Liverpool Customs' receipts were about one-third the amount of those of London. They amounted to four millions in Liverpool and to twelve mil lions in London ; but parties forgot, when contrasting the receipts of b o th p l aces, that the great staple coming into Liverpool paid, compa ra ti ve ly s p ea ki ng , no d u ty at all, while the i mports into London consisted principally of articles for home consumption, which paid heavy du ties. There was, therefore, no analogy between the two places. (Hear.) The Liverpool Customs' receipts ex ceeded the whole of the Customs' receipts of Scotland and Ireland put together; but in order still to show that Liverpool required dock extension more, perhaps, than any other t own in the United Kingdom, he would state a fact —namely, that while the increase of the popu lation of Great Britain had been 14 per cent., the increase in the immediate neighbourhood of I,iverpool had in creased more than double that amount. The increase during the last ten years had been 39 per cent., exceeding Manchester by 9 per cent. It was clear, therefore, that increased accommodation to meet this demand was called for, and that it was the duty of the council, as trustees and faithful servants of the town, to meet those demands in the best manner that they could. ( [fear, hear.) It had been observed by slr. Evans on the last occasion, that with the increased accommodation which would be a E
