John Deane Case, Esq., took the chair. Only about a dozen commissioners were present. CONFIRMATION OF PROCEEDINGS. Mr. MALLABY, the law-clerk, read the proceedings of the last monthly meeting, held on the 7th ult., and also the pro ceedings of adjourned meetings on the 21st and 28th. It appeared that on the 21st an improvement rate of 9d in the pound, and a lighting and watching rate of 8d in the pound were laid, also that a mortgage of £lOOO upon the improve ment rate was signed by Mr. Craven. The Law-clerk, in the course of reading the proceedings, stated that it would be necessary to secure the sum of £l5O about to be borrowed from Mr. J. S. Jackson on the sewerage rate, as there would not be sufficient left of it to secure him after the execution of the mortgage to Mr. Craven. Mr. Jackson was agreeable to accept this security, and all that was required was the confirmation of the commissioners. The proceedings were then confirmed. THE PARISH CLOCK Mr. LAYCOCK said, that before the commissioners pro ceeded to any other business he had a question to ask with respect to the parish clock. He understood that an annual charge of £4 was made for attending to it, which the last meeting agreed to pay for the last three years ; he wanted to know whether it was intended that that annual charge should be continued ? The CH AIRMAN apprehended that it would. In Liverpool a regular charge was made for winding up and regulating the public clocks, and that charge was defrayed by the corpora tion. Mr. GREEN said the circumstances of the Corporation of Liverpool were very different from those of the Commission ers of Birkenhead. He understood that many parishioners had expressed their determination to oppose the payment of any money for this purpose, on the ground that it was illegal. He had been told that when the charge was first brought be fore the commissioners they rejected it; but when it was carried the other evening it was upon the understanding from Mr. Mallaby that it had been promised to be paid by the commissioners. Mr. MALLABY explained that he then stated that the clock was put up at the instance of a section of the commis sioners, Mr. Russell and others. Mr. GREEN.--Bat not of the board .. ---- Mr. MALLABY thought there had been no order regularly made for it, and he had stated that there was no minute of it in the books. Mr. GREEN repeated what he had heard, that when the proposition was before them in the first instance the com miesioners rejected it. Mr. LAYCOCK said the proposal was at that time made that the charge should be made upon the parishioners, but it had not been formally brought before the commissioners, and indeed he himself well recollected that Mr. Russell de termined not to press it. The matter consequently dropped. He now asked the question—and his object was not so much to undo what had been done as to have the matter thoroughly understood—whether that board would sanction Mr. Knox, or Mr. anybody else spending £4 a-year upon a clock, or upon anything else, without the commissioners having some cognizance over the clock ? He would suggest that the re pairs of the clock, and the duty of attending to it, be assigned to some committee who probably might get done whatever was wanted for less than £4, in which case there would be a saving Mr: MALLABY said it was upon the express condition of the clock being considered public property that the com missioners agreed to pay the bill submitted to them by Mr. Knox. Mr. LAYCOCK observed that if some committee were re quested to direct their attention to it, they would see that there was only a proper expenditure on behalf of the clock. Mr. GREEN enquired whether the clock had been ascer tained to be public property ? Mr. MALLABY replied in the affirmative. Mr. GREEN said he had been told that some parties con nected with the church objected to the clock being considered public property. Mr. MALL ABY.—Then if they do I should object to the payment of the money. - A CommlssioNEß 'mentioned that the money had not yet been paid, and expressed an opinion that the parties would not allow the clock to be considered public property. He enquired whether they could not remove it if they thought proper ?_ Mr. MALLABY considered that they had no right to take it down any more than they had to take down the church. Although the pew rents were the property of Mr. Price, and he had a right to them as a remuneration for his expenditure, the church itself was the property of the parish, and the clock and the bells were as much the property of the parish as anything else. Mi. LAircocic suggested that if the committee to whom the business of the clock might be apportioned, were to put themselves into communication with the authorities of the church, all might go on harmoniously. Mr. MALLABY said that Mr. Robinson had been directed to forward a copy of the resolution of the last monthly meet ing on this subject to Mr. Knox. Mr. GREEN repeated that he had been told some parties intended to oppose the rate on the ground of the illegality of this charge. He wanted to know whether the commissioners could lay a rate, and whether such a charge would be legal? Upon the poors' rate it would be illegal. Mr. MALLABY said it would be illegal on the poors' rate. Mr. GREEN enquired then what right the commissioners had to make this payment ? Mr. MALLABY replied that whatever the commissioners might think was for the public good, whether in the erection of buildings, or the maintainance of clocks, that they were allowed by law to do. If they choose to set up a clock in the market-place they could do it. Mr. GREEN observed that that case would be different from the present, inasmuch as the clock would be upon their own premises, and for the public benefft. A COMMISSIONER expressed his opinion that the clock was the property of the parish because the church was the parish church. Mr. GREEN thought the church was not, strictly speaking, the parish church. Mr. INIALLnny said the act of parliament expressly pro vided that it should be considered the parish church. Every man had a right to be buried there—not that he chose for himself (laughter), but his succecsors might bury him there; and he must say that the fees were less in their parish than in any parish around. The ministers' fees, including all expenses, for a pauper buried were 65., whilst in no other parish in the hundred were they less than 7s. or 7s. 6d. Mr. GREEN said it would be'a pity for the sake of £4, or whatever the amount tn:ght be, to excite any ill feeling in the parish ; but he was led to believe that such would be the effect, because there were parties who strongly objected to it. A COMMISSIONER observed that there were discontented spirits in every parish. The CHAIRMAN said there could be no doubt that this clock was a public benefit. Mr. GREEN : I think not. I cannot see it from my own house, for instance. The CHAIRMAN : But you can hear it. Mr. GREEN : No, I cannot. The CHAIRMAN : I can, and 1 live further: from it than you. A COMMISSIONER: Mr. Green, you have no ear for a church bell. Mr. GREEN said he wanted only that which was right. The CHAIRMAN : To show the utility of the clock, I regulate ray own clocks by it. Mr. GREEN said he objected to the charge, because he was fearful that it might not be proper and just. After a few words from Mr. APPLETON, the conversation dropped. THE ROAD COMMITTEE Mr. MALLABY read the proceedings of this committee, from which it appeared that the owners of property in Price street and Beckwith-street were constructing sewers in those streets, and that the Road Committee had directed the sur veyor to inspect the works as they proceeded, without the owners having given any notice to the commissioners, or the streets being upon the town's books as public streets. Mr. Mallaby, after reading the proceedings, submitted, with great deference, he said, that this was most irregular on the part of the committee. Every check that was vested in the general body was violated if the committee would take upon themselves duties which did not devolve upon them. He wished to speak with all respect upon this subject, but at the same time he wished it to be understood that when the commissioners delegated specific duties to a committee, it was to those duties that they ought to confine themselves. They did not know the legal consequences of recognising what they had no control over. They seemed to have drawn a sewer under the cogniiance of the commissioners, as if done with the approbation and recognition of the commissio ners, when, in reality, there was nothing of the kind, If gentlemen thought proper in Qconstruction of their streets to lay down seIN ers, and give pe commissioners notice of their intention, the commissioners could direct their survey ors to see that those sewers were constructed in a proper manner, with specific exception against their being consi dered adopted, or binding upon the commissioners to adopt ; and it would be of great importance if the Road Committee were not to recognise any of them without directing the atten tion of the general board to the subject. Mr. COLE said the attention of the general board had been directed to this matter. The Road Committee had reported, in the first instance, that the work had not been done well, and the report was read in their proceedings at a former meeting. If there had been any objection to what they had done, it should have been taken at the time. Mr. MALLABY said the general body ought not to be driven to the necessity of watching every step of the commit tee. He did not know whether there was anything in the books before on this subject ; but if there was, the attention of the commissioners should have been directed to it, and if he had been aware of it he would have so called their atten tion. It was, however, just as easy for Mr. Potter, when the work was about to be begun, to call the attention of the com missioners to it, and to see that it was carried on properly, without binding the commissioners to adopt it. Mr. COLE observed that regular notices would have been given to that effect, but the surveyor had taken cognizance of the work in the first instance, and called the attention of the committee to it fron-s the commencement to the comple. tion. It would be well, however, for the future, if the Road Committee were given to understand, and all parties making sewers as well, that their sewers would not be recognised except the proper notices were given. A COMMISSIONER observed that this was very proper. Mr. COLE added that what the Road Committee had done in the present instance, they had done more from ignorance than anything else. Mr. AIALLABY said, then, in confirming the proceedings of the Road Committee it should be expressly stated, that the general body would not adopt any sewers made in this man ner, unless the proper notices had been given in the first in stance. Mr. LAYCOCK observed that Mr. Cole had stated in the first place that the Surveyor reported that the work was not done according to the commissioners rules ; ❑ow, he wanted to know how often he reported after that ? Mr. COLE replied that the Surveyor reported that he had visited, and was satisfied with the construction of the work. Mr. APPLETON said the work was progressing in a way that was not satisfactory to him, and he found fault with it. He was anxious it should be done properly, otherwise serious expense might have been incurred, but he was not aware that there was any point of law to stop the committee. Mr. COLE complained of the non-attendance of the clerk at the meetings of the Road Committee, to record the pro ceedings. Mr. JACKSON asked the law clerk a question, with regard to the power of the commissioners to fill up the cellar-holes. Mr. MALLABY replied, that any holes made in the public streets since the act of parliament was passed, the com missioners might fill up without any notice, and charge the party with the expenses of it. As to any holes in the public streets before that time, or any nuisance, such as projecting steps, the commissioners could not remedy them without expense. He s ugges t e d, h owever , th a t a ll suc h cases should be adjudicated upon by the general body before proceedings. giving the parties proper notice, and doing it at their own ex pense. Mr. GREEN suggested, that whenever any thing was re commended to be done by the Road Committee, they should also send an estimate of the expense. If there was any committee of that body which required a great deal of look ing after, it was the Road Committee. Mr. JACKSON said, he liked vastly this perpetual rapping at the Road Committee ' • but he wou ld say that this com mittee had hard work to do. Mr. GREEN : No doubt—because you do a great deal too much. . ------ Mr. JACKSON : The best way to silence you is to put you upon it. The proceedings were then confirmed in a motion which ~.el~r~' LIGHTING AND WATCHING COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read and cc firmed without any comment. MARKET COMMITTEE This committee's proceedings being read, Mr. JACKSON pointed out the necessity of the prison being better lighted. The proceedings were confirmed with the understanding that the subject of complaint should receive attention. NUISANCES The LAW-CLERK reported, that after much discussion it had been arranged that Mr. Ball should plead guilty to the indictment preferred against him, upon condition of being allowed till the Ist of June to repair the road, and if he did not do it then, the commissioners should do it and charge him with the expense. The court were applied to for the costs of the prosecution, and although it was resisted the court granted it, for they directed Mr. Ball to pay the costs. In answer to a question from Mr. COLE, it was stated that notices had been served upon Mr. Stephenson to remove an alleged nuisance on his premises in Church -street, but no further steps had been taken in the matter. Mr. COLE and other commissioners called upon the general body to follow up the notices by a prosecution. The meeting then separated. MEETING OF THE DOCK COMMITTEE The weekly meeting of the Dock Committee was held yesterday, in the Custom House, Revenue Buildings. The following members were present :—Messrs. Sands, Horsfall, Holt, Holmes, Middleton, Molyneux, Nicol, Bulley, Shand, Smith, Ripley, Tobin, Chapman, Chilton, Aikin, Sandbach, and Barclay. CANNING DOCK The Sub-Committee of works recommended that the ten der of Mr. John Orrell for, excavating and deepening Can ning Dock, should be accepted.—Ordered. MESSRS. i3AYLEY'S IRON The SURVEYOR reported that the iron belonging to Messrs. Bayley, was still lying on the west side of Prince's Dock, and that it was so inconvenient that the works of the transit sheds could not be proceeded with. The works, in fact, were stopped. The Secretary was directed to write to the parties again. SUNDAY WORKING The CHAIRMAN said he had received a letter from a person who called himself " an eye witness," who said that a great number of the men in the employment of the dock estate, were working on Sunday last, at the docks, to his very great surprise. About sixty altogether were so employed. The SURVEYOR dared say this was the case, for such things must occur occasionally. If the committee would give him orders that no body was to be employed on the Sunday, he would adhere to those orders, and their commands should be attended to, but, at the same time, he must not be held answerable for the consequences. Mr. RIPLEY said, he had seen men at work, but he did not know how it could be avoided at times. Mr. HORSFALL enquired whether there was any necessity for them to work on this occasion ? The SURVEYOR said, if he did not get them on at spring tides in this way the work would be prevented from proceed ins till the following great springs, which would be a month. Men were never set to work on the Sunday if he could help it. Mr. HORSFALL : And it only occurs once a month ? The SURVEYOR: That is all, sir. The CHAIRMAN observed, that it was in this case a work of necessity. The SURVEYOR said, this matter had often been before the committee, and he would assure the committee there was no work upon the Sunday when it could be helped. Mr. CHAPMAN remarked, that the dock-masters and gate men worked on a Sunday, so did the telegraph ; to begin here, therefore, was to begin at the wrong end. The CHAIRMAN said, that those works were necessary works. Mr. CHAPMAIq did not know that the telegraph was necessary, except under special circumstances, on the Sunday. The conversation on this subject then terminated. THE TELEGRAPH. The MARINE SURVEYOR presented a report, through the committee for that department, recommending certain changes among the several telegraph keepers. The changes were read, but they are unimportant. The salaries to the stations are to remain as usual. The report stated, that on reviewing the telegraph establishment, it appeared that the stations on which the whole system mainly rested were Holy head, Point Lynas, the Great Ormshead, and Liverpool ; and the Marine Surveyor therefore recommended that the men best capable for the duty should be placed at these stations. The Marine Surveyor further recommended, that in future none but the most active and vigilant men be placed at these stations. The report was received. The Sub-committee of Works reported the leases of the several stations, and they were confirmed. SERVICES OF THE LIFE BOATS The MARINE SURVEYOR reported the services rendered by the life-boat establishment during the year 18-11. The total number of vessels assisted was 14; and the total num ber of lives saved was 283-270 of whom were the crew and passengers of the emigrant-ship Urania, the loss of which may be in the recollection of our readers. THE CHANNELS, &C. - - _ _ The MARINE SURVEYOR reported that the number of vessels which had passed the Victoria and the other northern channels in the year 1841 was—of inward vessels, 8,570 ; outward, 9,137 ; total, 17,707. The number of vessels which passed through the Rock Channel in 1841, in and out, was 12,319. The MARINE SURVEYOR further reported that the depth of water upon the bar of Victoria Channel, on the evening of the 29th December, 1841, at low spring tides, was 12 feet, and on the morning of the 30th December, 1841, 11 feet 6 inches ; shewing that there had been no diminution of depth since the same time last year. The weather was very favour able for these observations, the water being smooth, and the wind for several days previous having been light and mode rate, so as not to have any disturbing influence upon the ebb and flow of the tide. Several members expressed their satisfaction at this report SHIPBUILDERS' ACCOMMODATION The SECRETARY read the following motion, of which Mr Chapman had given notice at the last meeting "That the land at the north-west corner of the South Boundary Dock, adjacent to Messrs. Grantham and Page's iron foundry, be appropriated for the purpose of ship-build ing, and that the same be let, on the usual terms, to the ship wrights who have been obliged to quit their premises in Trentham-street, on account of the land hitherto occupied by them being required for the new dock." The SunviiYori, in reference to this motion, reported that the land in question could not be allowed, as it would be wanted for the use of the new works; at least it could not be allowed until the new works were in a state of great forward ness, otherwise the works could not be carried on as they ought to be. He feared, indeed, the ground would not be found sufficient, and he expected, after the 15th instant, a quantity of pine and oak timber, which must be counter manded if this land was not prepared for it. Mr. TOBIN inquired what quantity of land was required for that timber ? The SURVEYOR replied all that the committee now had. Mr. TOBIN said he wanted to know whether it was 100 or 400 acres ? The SURVEYOR, in reply, said he could not speak to the quantity. Mr. SHAD inquired whether there was any of it that could be applied to the purposes proposed by Mr. Chapman ? The SunvEYon said he was not aware of any. Mr. CHAPMAN said, his object in submitting this motion was to bring the subject more immediately before the com mittee, as he was satisfied it was the wish of all the members to alleviate the distress and sufferings of the ship-builders who had been so hastily ejected from their premises when the purposes of the new dock required it. He understood that the master builders had been put to very considerable inconvenience and expense in consequence of having been obliged to remove; that all had been able to finish their work, launch their ships, and look out for other places. There only remained Mr. Clarke, who had just lately launched his vessel, and he was now left without any accom modation. In fact, he was now driven quite in a corner; he did not know where to remove with his stock ; and unless some provision was made for him, very serious injury would be done to one of the most respectable in the profession. The land at the south of Messrs. Grantham and Page's yard had lately been reclaimed ; it was made land, in fact ; and he only wanted about 6t) feet of it, just a narrow slip, which would leave a very large space to put timber upon, besides the other part of the docks. The south-east part, the dock surveyor had said, might be spared besides, but what was required for Mr. Clarke would be quite in the other corner. He looked at this also in another point of view. If the committee got £2OO a-year rent for this proposed ship wrights' yard, surely they might find a yard some where else to put their timber in, so as not to inconvenience the shipbuilders. Indeed, if we were deprived of them the port would suffer. They suffered enormously from the shutting up of the two docks ; no person could cal culate their loss ; hence it ought to be the duty and pleasure of the Dock Committee to put up with some little temporary inconvenience as far as the new dockyard was concerned, in order to accommodate them. It was incumbent upon this committee to consider the case of the shipwrights, for he found in the acts of parliament that their forefathers had pe culiar care about these matters ; that they pointed out what their duty via's, to encourage shipbuilding, for the act returned one moiety of the dock duties to ships built here. Hence it was clearly contemplated, that, whenever the Dock Commit tee could entertain the thing, a sort of protection should be extended to them ; and, considering the circumstances of the case, if this convenience could be given it would satisfy Very much the public demands. The question having narrowed itself so much, he trusted the committee would take it into serious consideration, and grant the small strip of land to Mr. Clarke. The CHAIRMAN observed that there had been several ap plications to the same effect. _ _ Mr. CHAPMAN admitted there had, but none of the par ties had been dispossessed. The CHAIRMAN had no doubt that the committee would be very glad to grant the application if they could. Mr. CIIAPMAN said that those who were dispossessed had clearly a claim upon the committee, and let the new claimants wait till the quays were clear, and then they might have a site. He confined himself to those who were dispossessed, upon whom it was a great hardship. He thought it highly impru dent to drive our shipbuilders to Harrington Docks, to Whitehaven, or the Isle of Man, or anywhere else, and to substitute mere Irish excavators inlheir places. Mr. TOBIN suggested that the sub-committee of works should examine the plot, in order to see what land they could spare without inconvenience, for he did not think the ship builders had been well used. Mr. HousrALL said the committee generally would ac quiesce in the observations of Mr. Chapman, and he was sure there was every disposition to afford the shipbuilders every accommodation in their power. He went over the ground himself yesterday, and it appeared to be a large space certainly, and he should be glad if the surveyor could tell how much it contained. If the land could be granted it was desirable to do so ; but in order to enable the committee to come to a proper conclusion, they ought to know first what the land was. There was no occasion for a finished plan, but just sufficient to give the committee an idea of the property. Mr. AIKIN would rather ask the Surveyor whether he could spare any of the ground for the present, for if the new works were delayed but a single day, it would not be com pensated for by a year's rent. Although the parties would be yearly tenants, vet if once located there, they would he likely to remain. They could scarcely ever expect to dis place them. The question simply was, whether in the pre sent state of the works the committee could grant the land, and he should apprehend they could not spare it after what they had heard from the surveyor. Mr. SHAND thought that as Mr. Clarke had suffered in jury from being turned out, though he agreed with Mr. Aikin that the committee ought not to postpone the works, his case required special consideration. Mr. Tonis inquired whether anything was to be put upon the land except timber? The SURVEYOR said stone as well would be placed there. Mr. HORSFALL thought that when they came to measure ments, he really thought that 60 feet was as nothing com pared with the whole piece of land ; but he could not make up his mind upon the subject till he knew what extent the land was. After a few remarks from Mr. SANDBACH and Mr. A IKIN, a resolution was passed, referring the matter to the Sub-com mittee of Works to report thereon. The business of the meeting then terminated. FALMOUTH, JAN. 3.-The West India steamers left this port this afternoon, the Tay having 60 sacks of letters and 30 of newspapers ; and the Thames, which it appears now will be the first to come home, a proportionate increase for Demerara, Mexico, &c. ItEVE! , The abstract of the net produce of the revenue in the years and quarters ending sth January, 1841, and 1812, was published on Wednesday, and is satisfactory, as showing a gradual, though only a small improvement iu the public finances. The increase for the year terminating on Wednes day is £306,095, of which £338,549 accrued during the last quarter. Every source of ordinary revenue during 1841, with the exception of stamps and crown lands, has slightly improved; while, during the last quarter, the customs ex hibit the very considerable augmentation of £414,368. Though the falling off in the excise during the quarter is large, it must be recollected that the excise for the quarter ending the 10th of October, 1811, had exhibited an increase. In stamps, which area sure test of the extent of business transactions, there is an increase ; as also in taxes, crown lands, post-office, and miscellaneous. It is very satisfactory to notice the very marked improvement in the sugar duties, during the two last quarters of the past year; this improve ment bears out the predictions of Sir Robert Peel, Mr. W. E. Gladstone, and the other ministerial opposers of a re duction of duty on foreign sugar. The improvement in the customs revenue is, we trust, a sign that the commercial stagnation under which the country laboured during the greater part of 1841 is gradually passing away under the influence of conservative government.

The improved feeling which we noticed yesterday a week ago continued without change; and many of the spinners, with some of the manu facturers of printing cloths, demanded higher prices, which, however, the buyers were not disposed to give, and conse quently but little business was done. Indeed, at this season, and especially with some probability of severe frost and con sequent interruption of the canals, not much activity can be expected in the absence of speculative inquiry ; and the ten dency of prices has been so long and so uniformly downward, that some time must elapse before buyers can be induced to make any considerable purchases in anticipation of their actual wants. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAN. 3-- The market to-day is scarcely deserving that name. Few buyers have attended, and very little business has been trans acted at any prices. There has been another failure this last week amongst those manufacturers who make for the Black water market. The " new market," which may be consi dered as the opening of the business for the year, will be held on Monday next, the 10th instant. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JAN. 4.—A general dulness pervaded this market, and the business done was of the most unsatisfactory description, both in quantity and price. Buyers were numerous ; but evidently reluctant to give any thing like fair prices. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF OSSORY.—The Right Rev. Dr. Fowler, Lord Bishop of Ossory, Leighlin, and Ferns, died on Friday last, at the Palace, Kilkenny, aged 75. The paragraph stating the death of Mr. Charles Scott, of Abbotsford, at Teheran, has not been corroborated by any letter hitherto received either by Mr. J. G. Lockhart or at the Foreign-office.—Dumfries Courier. DUBLIN ELECTION..—Monday, the 24th instant, is stated to be the probable day when this election will take place. The liberals have determined to nominate Lord Morpeth. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday last Mr. James Spicer, a retired gentleman of Uxbridge, left his home in his accus tomed health, for the purpose of proceeding to London by the Great estern Railway. Shortly after the train had started he complained of indisposition to the person who sat next him, who happened to be a surgeon. When the train stopped this gentleman tried to bleed Mr. Spicer, but life was extinct. THE MURDER OF THE BOY MAGUIRE.—Another knife has been found near the place where the murder was com mitted, which was marked with blood. It was brought to Kilmainham by Sub-Inspector Durham, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it could be identified by any of the wit nesses confined there ; and, on its being exhibited to the sister-in-law of Delahunt, she fainted, but, on recovering herself, acknowledged that it was her property. A woman who resides in Britain-street, next door to Mrs. Delahunt, also stated that she knew the knife to be Mrs. Delahunt's, as she had often borrowed it from her. The witness also positively states that she saw the prisoner sharpening the knife in Mrs. Delahnnt's room, on the Saturday evening previous to the murder.—Dublin Paper. FRIbLITFUL MURDER OF AN IDIOT.—We have copied from a contemporary an account of one of the most diaboli cal outrages ever perpetrated in any country, even amongst savage tribes. It is the murder of a poor idiot, under cir cumstances of the most shocking barbarity. Unwilling to believe in the possibility of such a fiendish crime, the per petrators being described as military gentlemen on a visit near Philipstown, we expressed our disbelief of the statement; but justbefore going to press we learned, with horror, that the outrage actually occurred, and that the description given by our contemporary is correct in all material particulars.— Dublin Evening Post. ANOTIIER CALAMITOUS FIRE IN MANCHESTER.—OD Friday evening last, about nine o'clock, an alarm of fire was given, which was found to be at the weaving-mill and calender-house in Bateman's-buildings, Manchester. The fire commenced on the part occupied by the late Mr. E. Dickinson, calenderer, acc., and which raged with such fury that in about an hour that part of the premises, six stories high, was a complete ruin ; not anything worth notice was saved. The loss will probably be about £5,000. There were two rooms over the calender-room filled with looms, which were all burnt. The principal part of the weaving establish ment being separated from the premises burnt down by a wall, did not receive much injury ; but, as the steam-engine was much damaged, all the bands employed will, necessarily, be thrown out of work for some time t o come . N o li ves were lost, nor is any one injured. FRAM) ON LORD STANLEY.—In the early part of last week a middle-aged man of respectable appearance and plau sible manner, called at the colonial office, and enquired for Lord Stanley, who, he was informed, was on a visit to her majesty, at Windsor Castle. He then said he was commis sioned by the principal officers of the custom-house to deli ver to Lord Stanley the box he had with him, and which con tained a magnificent chandelier, intended as a Christmas pre sent to Lady Stanley, from some of the foreign courts, and he was instructed to say that thirty-five cases of wine had been received, as a present to his lordship. He gave direc tions that the package he had with him should be carefully attended to, and then pulled out of his pocket some papers which appeared to be regular Custom-house certificates, signed George Lamb. The regular dues, he said, amounted to £3 ss. 4d., which was paid to him, and for which he signed a receipt. On the return of his lordship to his man sion in St. James's-square, the package was opened with the .greatest caution, and the valuable contents were found to consist of a few brickbats. It is perhaps needless to say no more of the wine has been discovered. The prisoner has been apprehended. THE TEN HOURS BILL.—The deputation of the short time committee have had an interview with Mr. Gladstone, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and the impres sion left on the minds of all the members of the deputation by that gentleman's bearing, was of the most favourable de scription, and gave rise to hopes of a cheering nature as to the ultimate results of their labours, and the intention of the Government, both with reference to the Ten Hours Bill, and also to other measures deeply affecting the operative classes. In the course of the conversation Mr. Gladstone said " You may rest assured that I will devote my best attention to them, in conjunction with the cabinet, and with an earnest desire to discover and adopt those measures which may be best calculated to put a stop to the evils you have described. Where we may happen to differ, I feel a confidence (consi dering the candour, moderation, and intelligence which have characterised your representations) that our motives and opinions will receive from you a fair and liberal construction. But, indeed, it is not fair to assume that we do or shall differ, for the evils are palpable, demand immediate remedy, and your claims are just and reasonable. The spirit and tendency of your views are alike rational and conciliatory." WILFUL MURDER AT BURNLEY.—On Friday last an in quest was held at the Turf Tavern, Burnley, before John Hargreaves, Esq., touching the death of an old man of the name of William Dugdale, who lived in a court in Eastgate. The entrance into the court is effected by ascending some steps from the street. The old man and his wife occupied one of two cellars, the entrance to which is in the gable end of the house. By the side of the steps which lead down to the cellar of the aged couple, there are some other steps, lead ing to the upper part of the house, or first story. The ad joining cellar is occupied by a female of improper character. It appears that, on Sunday night, about half-past twelve, two men came into the area, and knocked at the old man's cellar door, inquiring whether there were any women there. On being answered in the negative, they ascended the adjoining steps, and the old man went out to see what they wanted, or who the men were. Previously to this, however, Ellen Nut tall, a female who lived in the other cellar, had gone out, and on inquiring what the two men wanted, they threw some ashes at her, and then ran away. It is supposed that the two men, who were on the upper steps when the old man came out, were not the same that had knocked at his door. While the old man was talking to the two men on the steps, two boys, named Benjamin Sugar and Thomas Stuttard, came into the yard, and asked whether the men had been breaking any windows. Immediately afterwards, as appeared from the testimony of the boys, and from the old man's dying de claration, the men seized Dugdale, and threw him down the cellar stairs. They then ran away. The old man, when he was taken into the cellar, seemed to be in great suffering, complaining of the pains in his head and sides. He lingered in great agony until eight o'clock on the following morning, when he expired. From the subsequent examination of the body, it appeared that he had sustained serious injuries in the small of his back and also in his head. The jury returned a verdict of " wilful murder against some persons unknown." CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—By the following letter, which appeared in the Belfast Commercial Chronicle of the 3d in stant, it will be observed that Dr. Cooke continues to enter tain sanguine hopes that there will be a satisfactory adjust ment of the unhappy differences that at present exist in the Church of Scotland. We trust that the Doctor's most san guine anticipations may be fully realised, and we should hope that in saying this we but give expression to what is the fer vent desire of every Protestant i❑ the empire : " To the Editor of the Belfast Commercial Chronicle. " Dear Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the ministers, elders, and people of the General Assembly, to state, that, according to the latest information I have received, my 'con fidence' in the settlement of the affairs of the Church of Scot land, in a manner satisfactory to the Non-intrusion Com mittee, not only remains unchanged, but, in so far as any thing human may be called certain, amounts to certainty. " In making this statement, I wish it to be distinctly under stood, as I formerly stated, that I disclaim all knowledge of the opinion either of the premium or of the Cabinet. But, at the same time, I have friends who, I believe, confide in me, and in whom, at all events, I confide—and, relying upon whose judgment, I do not hesitate to make this announce ment, as one that, I believe, will fully be realised.

THZ W THE LATE CASE OF POISONED SOClP.—Since our last, Mr. Lees, the surgeon, has completed the analysis, both of the oatmeal arid of the soup ; and in both, which he examined separately, he has detected the presence of arsenic. Nothing is yet known as to how it came there ; but we believe sus picion has fallen on some individuals who, some short time since, were inmates of the house.—lllancliester Guardian. THE PROPOSED SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL COLLEGE.—His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, and Mr. J. Gladstone, of Fasque have contributed £l,OOO each for the purpose of founding, in a central part of Scotland, north of the Frith of Forth, and removed from the immediate vicinity of any large town, a college, to be called, " The College of the Holy and undivided Trinity." The following subscriptions have also been made for the same purpose :—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, £100; Archbishop of Canterbury, £105; Bishop of London, £lOO ; Bishop Skinner, Aberdeen, £lO5 ; the (late) Marquis of Lothian, £5OO ; Lord Douglas, £5OO ; Mr. R. W. Ramsay, of Whitehill, £5OO ; The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, £5OO ; Mrs. W. E. Gladstone, £2OO ; Mr. J. Hope (theological books), £lOO. The following have also subscribed £lO5 each, which gives them a perpetual right of nominating one to the proposed college—viz. :—Mr. T. Gladstone, Mr. J. W. Gladstone, Mr. R. Gladstone, the Rev. Lord H. Kerr, Mr. J. Cay, the Rev. T. Bowdler, Sir G. Stirling, Bart. • Mr. A. Falconer, of Falcon-hall ; Mr. A. Cay, the Earl of Dunmore, Mr. C. A. Moir, Mr. J. Stir ling, and Sir P. M. Threiplend. The total amount of sub scriptions already received is upwards of £9,000 ; but it is calculated that the lowest amount of capital which would justify the commencement of the institution is £20,000 ; and as soon as that sum is raised, a meeting of the subscribers is to be called to confer with the bishops on the permanent constitution of the college. The proposed Trinity College in Scotland is to be capable of accommodating hoarding from 150 to 200 youths from 8 to 18 years of a,;c ; ;And also afford a sound clerical education to young gentlemen destined for holy orders, " of whom a considerable number, in addi tion to those required in Scotland, may be usefully employed in supplying the demands which are now made for clergymen in the British colonies." DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 4. We continue to have but a very dull trade in our Corn market for the past week, and only the best descriptions of grain were attended to. Oats is a most difficult sale at the reduction of Friday. Oat meal rules dull at the quotations. The receipts of Flour are still on the increase, particularly new, which is almost unsaleable ; old and mixed Flour are a moderate vend at last days's rates; inferiors and thirds a slow sale. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 3. The supply of English Wheat is very moderate to this morning's market, and tile quality being indillerent and the demand very slack, the prices of this day week are barely maintained, unless for dry samples. Barley is in large supply, and very slow of sale, ex cept for fine malting, which still commands 34s per quarter. The arrival of Oats is most abundant, consisting of e 8,005 quarters, of which above 40,000 are Irish. The trade is Cd to Is cheaper for low qualities of Irish, and other descriptions barely maintain last Monday's terms. Beans and Peas of all kinds are in slack de mand at last week's prices. In other grain there is no particular variation to notice. Flour continues nominally at last quotations. The Seed trade is steady at last week's terms. TUESDAY, Jan. 4. • The business is dull in the extreme this morning, the only transactions being in supplies for immediate use, at the prices of the last market day. There is no movement whatever having the appearance of business of a speculative kind. Obipping TUESDAY, JANUARY 4.—Wind N.E. moderate. ARRIVED.—LeiIa, Higgins, from New Orleans—Wm.

The wants of the butchers from small purchases since Christmas having increased, and the favourable change in the weather during the past night brought a more numerous attendance at market this morning. The supply of Beasts was small, and moderate of Sheep. For a Monday the number of Calves was large. Of Pigs there was an average supply. A pleasant trade was done in all kinds of meat, and total clearances were made. Beef of superior quality fetched 4d advance on Friday's prices, and inferior 2d. Coarse 'Mutton was 4d higher, and prime quality ad. Fine Veal also realized better prices. Pork was unaltered. (Per stone of sibs, sinking the offal.) LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, January 6.

" Old Cotton " is becoming scarce, the bulk of that offering is of the new crop, and by no means in great favour with the generality of buyers, owing. in a great measure, to the inferior manner it is got up. COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 6. The improved tone and feeling in our Cotton market noticed for the last week or two has continued, and there is decidedly a healthi ness about it that is more satisfactory to both buyer and seller, enabling them to transact business in a more confidential manner than has been the case of late. The Indian news by the overland mail this evening, is not of an exciting nature, and ought to have no material effect upon our market : to keep it steady and firm should be the desire of all parties, and spinners can do this by coming only for their immediate wants. This would keep specu lators at bay, and prevent any sudden rise in the market, winch always recoils upon the consumer with double power. Yesterday 4000 bales were sold, and to-day about the same quantity, all to the trade. Common Surats more plentiful, and rather easier to buy than last week. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, .AN T . 4 The new year having commenced with frost and adverse winds, we have, in consequence, to report a very limited supply of either British or foreign Grain fresh in for to-day, except Pease, of which the quantity is again rather large, and of Flour, of which upwards of 17,000 brls have arrived from Canada and the American States ; whence we had a similar import in the course of last week, and from the latter country further shipments to some extent are coming forward. The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st De cember, 18-11 : IN BOND.—Wheat, 45,262 qrs. ; Barley, 5258 qrs. ; Oats, 14,892 qrs. ; Rye, 1757 qrs. ; Beans, 15,575 qrs . ; P ease , , 5069 qrs. • Flour, 26,388 brls. FitiE.Wheai, 150,000 qrs ; Barley, 10,000 qrs ; Oats, 25,000 qrs ; Rye qrs ; Beans, 35,000 qrs ; Peas, 13,000 qrs ; Flour, 95,000 barrels and 10,000 sacks, and 70,000 loadi oatmeal. Our market to-day opened with au exceedingly dull as pect, and all the leading branches of the trade suffered more or less depression. The millers and dealers conti nu ing to buy with extreme reluctance, scarcely sufficient to serve the wants of the mo ment, holders were induced to submit to a decline of ld to 2d for the best, and 2d to 3d per 70Ibs. for other descriptions of English, Irish, and foreign free Wheats ; at this redaction, however, sales to a tolerable amount were effected for ship ment to Ireland, constituting the only transactions in this grain deserving notice. Flour of all sorts, moving off very sparingly , S t ate s a nd Canadian receded 6d per barrel, and English as well as Irish is per sack below the rates of this day week. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being nearly without in quiry, were very difficult of sale, at an abatement of is. per quarter each. Oats and Oatmeal, partaking of the general languor, so conspicuous in other articles of the corn trade, were the turn cheaper.

New WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, JAN. 4. Total quantities. Total amount. Price per quarter Wheat, qrs. 138 Barley .... 50 87 10 0 115 0 Oats ...... 216 SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 5 There was a better show of both Beasts and Sheep to-day than than there was last week, and the quality of the Beet particularly was very inferior, the best qualities of which supported last week's prices, but middling and inferior was a little lower. The best Mutton in great demand, and fetched 7d to 7id, and well sold up ; Ewes, &c., inferior, tijd to 7d per lb. A few inferior Beasts and Sheep unsold. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, JAN. Short-horned Hides sold this day at 12s each ; Hides 60 to 721bs 3d per lb., 721bs. and upwards aid per lb. • large skins (Irish and Yorkshire) 4s to 55 6d; Cheviots and half-bred 3s to 4s 6d; Scotch 2s to 3s. Tallow 55 per stone of 141bs. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JAN. 5. During the present week, the Wheat trade has been dull, and holders of good qualities would not submit to any reduction in price. Malting Barley has maintained its value, with more enquiry for best supplies. Grinding neglected. In old Beans, no alteration. New rather lower. The few sales its Oats were at last week's rates, but buyers are holding off, in expectation of a decline. HULL CORN MARKET, JAN. 'l, The Corn trade here during the past welik has been nearly at a stand, almost without a business transaction in any description. We do not therefore alter our quotations for any article of grain. Linseed and Rapeseed are both unaltered in value, and the demand for them exceedingly limited; Linseed Cake, Rape Cake, and Bones partake of the general dulness, and the business passing in any of them trifling, but where sales arc made my quotations arc paid. In addition to this particular period (wherein there is generally less than usual passing), there is a languor and heaviness hanging over the trade ; nor can much, if any impetus be given either in value or demand until something definite is generally known what ministers intend to do with the present Corn-laws. To-day's market is met by very few country buyers—we have con sequently a limited trade for old foreign Wheat, and prices without alteration ; but, could any business be done, lower prices would be submitted to. The farmer's supply is moderate, and the millers supply their wants on the best conditioned parcels, at a trifle below last week's prices —all qualities below this description are fully 1 per quarter lower than last week. Very few Beans offering, and the demand for them limited. Oats are offering freely, and arc bought with rather less money. Fine malting Barley cannot be bought to • day any lower than last week, but the great bulk offering is of very middling quality, and scarcely saleable by submitting even to very low prices.
