A few months—nay, a few weeks ago—we were assured that the corn-law was an atrocious thing which stood between the starving poor and a cheap supply of food. It withered the enterprise of the country, whilst it put millions per annum into the pockets of griping landowners. The League bawled anathemas against it ; dissenting ministers battered it with Scripture texts; young ladies begged pennies and subscriptions from door to door to put it down, and anti-monopoly young gentlemen folded circu lars and posted them out of eleemosynary funds, which were _utterly to route the friends and sup- Well, the corn-law is ast says the favourite organ of the If not dead already, the monster is dying ; porters , of the monster doomed—so at 1 league and one would naturally expect to hear rejoicings over the fate of the bloated and griping landocracy, whose wickedness and selfishness have been the le promise( loud, over the adven and cheap bread.

Hugh M'Neile will deliver, in St. Jude's Church, a sermon, addressed especially to young persons, with reference to their Christian standing, their difficulties, and their duties. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday, Elizabeth Jones, who lived in Back Alulberry-street, was found lying dead at the foot of her own stairs. The deceased, who was left well a short time before, was, it appeared, subject to fits, and had probably fallen during an attack. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A few days ago, James Mavvds ley, a cow-doctor, was employed behind the old Excise office, assisting to get a large piece of timber upon a cart, when the balk swung from the tackle and struck him on the breast. lie was so much injure,] that he died on Friday. _ LIVERPOOL LAW SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the Liverpool Law Society took place at the Adelphi Hotel, on Thursday evening; upwards of sixty gentlemen sat down. Mr. Lowndes presided, and Mr. Edward Guy Deane and Mr. Buck Lloyd acted as vice-presidents. The evening was considerably enlivened by the glee singing.

TUESDAY MO ,ING, DEC. 9, 1845 The past week has been one whose events are sufficient to stir men's souls. When we last ad dressed our readers we had only the dim haze of conjecture to guide us as to the future policy of mi nisters, with respect to one of the most important questions which could agitate the mind of a great nation We could only speculate upon the proba _ _ it demands made upon gOvern of our food crops, by ana tiy examining their past modes of procedure 1 and social pressure ; we have now, however, something more definite to guide us —certainly nothing which is decisive, but yet some nize as the shadow which coming To be plain, we have the nal of the corn-laws—the ble issue of tl _ merit by the critical sta logy— is of politi thing we can reel events cast befor total and unconditional adonment of that protective policy under which n and flourished—announced this country has by an authOrity which we re not :Ike light of, I as a consummation treed upon, and for which we to look forward to see ac- have barely a short month , complished in question was made on the London Times, in the follow- et is no nger a secret announcement Thursday " The decision of the Ca Parliament, it is confidently reported, is to be summoned for the first week in January; and the Royal Speech will, recommend an immediate consideration of to t'aeir total repeal.

Villainy would be too mild a term to apply to such conduct. There are men and' journalists in the world, who, for party or personal ends, would not scruple to be accused of wickedness however gross. But the Times, we know, would not hazard the chance of being reputed a fool ; and such must that journal be deemed if, on slight grounds, or even without a moral certainty of being correctly informed, its conductors had ventured upon an assertion which,:if believed and acted upon erroneously by the public, might bring ruin upon thousands. The approaching repeal of the corn laws we are, therefore, assured is " a great fact;" and the readers of the Liverpool Standard will not need to be told that months ago we predicted this, as the course which would be pursued by Sir Ro bert Peel's government. On the 17th of June last, in commenting upon a speech of Sir James Graham, we stated that " the whole tenor of his remarks lead only to one conclusion, that the measure of total and unconditional repeal is determined upon ;" and that " with one bad harvest and the clamour of the ma nufacturing districts to refer to as their apology, the fate of British agriculture is 'sealed." In the very same article we convicted the Morning Herald of entertaining and expressing the same opinion in the following passage from one of its leaders : " Sir Robert Peel may think as we certainly do think, that if the system of moderate protection be steadily maintained, a time will come when a highly-improved stale of agriculture shall render any Corn Laws needless; but if that is Sir Robert Peet's opinion, he acts with per fect consistency in defending the Corn Laws for a time, in order to get rid of the Corn Laws in the end." Again on the gth September we said : "As our 'pitting words, however, we tell the British farmers and landowners that Sir Robert Peel is prepared to repeal the Corn-laws. See if we are mistaken." We now repeat that remark,—See if we are mis- taken The late Council Meeting has, we should think, satisfied the Advocates of non-scriptural Education that they are not likely to be successful in any effort to overthrow the present system, or even to procure . . now acknowleged beneficial operation can lie impeded. To the granting of the returns moved for, had they been confined to a statement of the numbers of Roman Catholic and Protestant children respec tively, who are now receiving education in the Cor poration schools, we could have had no objection. Those returns would have proved a triumphant fact for the advocates of Scriptural Educatior that Roman Catholic parents are, when not inter fered with by their Spiritual pastors, glad to see their children brought up in the fear of God and the knowledge of his unadulterated word.

The streets of London are to be paved with gold first. Nor is the poor man, who now starves upon half diet, to exchange his potatoes and herring for cheap bread and beef, for " it is not conceivable that wheat can ever become much cheaper." What will the operative anti-mo nopoly associations and other gulls of the sort say to this mortifying falsification of all the glowing pre dictions which have been held out to them ? But we are sick of exposing such hollow inconsistency and deception. Whilst quieting the apprehensions of the farmers and knocking down the hopes of the working man in a similar strain to the foregoing, the Times pro ceeded yesterday to suggest some not very pleasant matter for the consideration of the mercantile and manufacturing interests—the only ones likely to be benefitted by ultra free-trade. The league, he says, do not stop at the repeal of the corn-laws, but look forward to the abolition of all Customs duties ; and asks, " Are the national revenues such as to enable us to dispense with Customs duties altogether ? Can we afford to lose 12 or 14 millions a year at once ?" The question is one which involves some prospects of increased taxation, which are not likely to be viewed with general satisfaction. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS BY THE DOCK COMMITTEE. We referred some time ago to the proposed purchase by this body of the property comprised within a straight line drawn from near the north end of Salthouse Dock to the south end of Wapping, and the present street frontage to the Salthouse and King's Docks. The principal object of the purchase, at that time contemplated, was to pro vide for the intended railway to be carried along the Dock Estate, and the enlargement of the Salthouse Dock, by widening its southern end. The plans as now deposited, however, exhibit a series of much more extensive opera tions on the part of the committee. In addition, the whole of the plot of land, with warehouses, &c., from the West Of King's Dock to Wapping, is to be secured ; and a large dock formed upon the southern end of it fronting the King's Dock. Another dock is to be formed upon the land east of Duke's-place, extending up to Hurst -street, with a connection to the south with the pre viously mentioned new dock, and one to the north with Salthouse Dock, thus affording what has so long been re quired, a communication throughout the entire length of the Dock Estate. It will also have a communication with the Duke's Dock, whose boats can thus pass through to unload in any dock without the necessity, existing at pre sent, of going into the river for an entrance. The Salt house Dock, when enlarged and provided with spacious quay room, is intended to be used as a loading dock, in connexion with the Albert Dock, which is more calcu lated for an inland and bonding dock. Powers will also be taken for carrying outefficiently the Harrington Dock scheme of last year, by the purchase of a projecting corner or bend of Sefton-street, which will enable the committee to afford that dock the same spaci ous quay room at present afforded at the Brunswick. Perhaps, however, the most important feature in their plans is the proposed purchase of the plot of land fronting the river, containing Manchester Dock, carrying wharfs, firc , for the purpose of its improvement as a coasting dock and connect it with the main docks along the, estate, by which the working of that branch of the trade of the port will be greatly facilitated. Without entering into any examination el the details of these extensive schemes, we must congratulate the Dock Committee upon the foresight and attention to the wants of the growing commerce of the port which they display. There cannot be a doubt that before many years pass over us we shall see Liverpool not only absorb profitably the whole of the dock space providing for her, but call for an increased and incalculable amount. The subject of the lecture which will be delivered at St. Andrew's Church this evening is " Family Worship." Potatoes rose in our market on, Saturday a shilling a peck. • . . _ A large piece of vacant ground, to the west of Crown street and south of Falkfier.street, has been reserved by the Corporation, for erecting a new market.

ADVENT. — During this period the Rev. J. Baylee is engaged in preaching a series of,sermons on ett•th Sunday, and also on each wednesdaj evenin;, on the second com ing of Christ. _ WORKS AT BIRKENHEAD For the last few days there have been rumours flying about the town of the possible suspension of the works at the new docks at Birkenhead; at all events, of differences having sprung up, from some unexplained cause, between the commissioners and the contractor, Mr. Tomkinson. We ourselves pad no heed to 'what we heard on the subject. We could trace it to no source to be depended upon ; and when we observed the large progress already made, in an undertaking requiring much skill, prudence, and time, to bring it a successful completion, we could not even suspect the existence of dissatisfaction, either on the side of Mr. Tomkinson or of the commissioners. The perusal of an article in a contemporary paper of Saturday, under the above head, somewhat staggered our faith, in the first place from certain suspicious statements which it contained, in the next from the very inaccurate and over-flattering account which it gave of the state and probable date of completion of the works. Our contem porary set out with saying— The eagerness of the parties on the other side of the river to have the docks completed as soon as possible, has led to the adoption of means calculated to facilitate greatly all the works. New contracts have been entered into for bricks, excavations, &c., Mr. Tomkinson has heretofore, supplying the stme. Every thing is to be prosecuted with increased vigour. Two reside n as istant engineers are to be added to the establishment, and an addition of.several hundred men will be made to the already numerous body of workmen. . . There was certainly nothing to remark upon in the eagerness of the parties to have the works proceeded with as rapidly as is consistent with their stability but the next sentence did and does seem to us not to flow very necessarily from that eagerness. What " new contracts" could be required? We always understood, and the public understood, that the whole works were contracted for by Mr. Tomkinson; and all who know his energy, nis experience and the resources at his command, will say that th;it they could not be in better hands The concluding contracts or new that gentleman's ability to carry o him with the fullest amount of vigour necessity of not any work intrusted to What was the ineen , " we could )nless Mr. Tornkinson were his own superintendence of the work, and his contract at the same time; and that gentleman could just as easily put on extra workmen as any other contractor. The only conclusion to be drawn from the whole tenor of the above paragraph is a corroboration of a previous rumour that Mr. Tomkinson is about to give up, or bas given up, the contract for these works—a circumstance which we regret, and which, from the confidence which the public place in his ability and judgment, is not likely to raise them in the estimation of discerning men. If this is not so, we shall willingly lend our columns for any ex planation which the Commissioners may think fit to - The circumstance of his continuing to supply the does not in the slightest degree alter our The Commissioners probably could not convictions get it from other easily accessible sources - . impress with any high opinion of the soundness of the arrangements and calculations by which the increased exnecbtion of these works is to be ensured. The writer understand that Mr. Rendel, under the new arrnge m?nts entered into, feels confident that he will have the great tidal basin and a constlerable portion of the upper dock ready, r the reception of shipping in 1847. The Bridge-end Dock, about the size of the George's Dock, has, for instance, one-half its wharf-walls completed at present. It will be opened in July, 1846 _ _ _ ST. SIMON'S DisTarcr.—After a very eloquent and impressive discourse by the Rev. H. M`Neile, at Christ Church, on Sunday evening last, which was listened to with breathless attention by a densely crowded audience, From our own knowledge of plans 'and section=, and the sum of £56 was collected towards the erection of the the time required for works so peculiarly situated as these new church in the district of St. Simon's. The extreme dock woilmare, we have by no means the " confidence" destitution of that quarter of the town, and its strong which Mr. Rendel is said to feel, as to the time in which claims on the sympathies of the Christian public, were they may be completed. At ^ Cie in- powerfully pleaded and enforced by the eloquent preacher rough guess, anc pection of the plans and the works which appears to be already completed, we should spy that from 1,500,000 to 2000,010 cubic yards of excavation remain to be got out; and to complete the whole, it will require the large quantity of 700,000 to 900,000 feet of stone to be set each Of the abOve sum, £5 were a special donation from a member of Christ Church congregation. COMMITMENTS FROM THE POLICE COURT, YESTER DA.Y.—A young woman, named Mary Thomas, who had before been in gaol, for felony, was committed for stealing a cheese.—John Williams, who had previously been six times committed, was _sent for trial for stealing wearing year, for three years to come, which, we apprehend, is as rapidly as such works can be safely proceeded with. Under the most favourable circumstances, we cannot see it at all probable that the upper dock can be completed before the end of 1848 ; and, to effect this, they Must be pushed on at double the speed at which the. work already done has progressed ; and, regarding, as all men at all acquainted with such works do the progress made by Mr. Tomkinson as surprising and most creditable to him, it is, perhaps, scarcely reasonable to expect to see any very greatly increased progress accomplished, and we can hardly date the completion of the works earlier than the end of 1849, for it must be borne in mind, that al though upwards of 12 months have been occupied on the works, it is said that not over one-seventh or one-eighth has yet been got through. We have already several eminent names, as likely to succeed Mr. Tomkinson in the execution of the contract, — . amongst the rest, Messrs. Griszell and Peto, Mr. Brassey, and Mr. M'Corrnack. It remains to be seen whether any of these, or other parties, will be able to carry out the sanguine hopes of the commissioners or their en geer. We ourselves have great doubts on the subject, al though they may, perhaps, have some advantage from Mr. Tomkinson 's excellent machinery already erected on the spot. apparel from a vessel.—Two sisters, named - Thomas, servant girls, were committed to prison for fourteen days for stealing groceries, &c., from the shop where they were employed.—Two young men, John Branagan and Daniel Myler, notorious thieves, who had, together, been twelve times committed, having been found loitering about the Brunswick Dock—one of them with a candle and some lucifer matches—were committed to gaol for three moot ROBBERY IN A CART.—David Duncan, and Simuel Morton, were yesterday charged with robbing John Indall, of the sum of about £4O, i❑ notes and gold, on Friday last. The prisoners had been remanded from Saturday. It appeared Mr: Indall was anxious to go to the Clarence Dock about eight o'clock in the evening, and engaged a spring cart near St. John's market to carry him there, when he jumped into the cart, of which the prisoner, David Duncan, was the driver. The other prisoner, with several others, got into the cart at the :wore. r‘sacctintrninno VsknYhall-rrall_ the men in the cart took from . Indall two £lO notes, and some gold, and when they got the money, they all de camped from the cart, leaving Indall and the carter, Duncan. Indall stopped the cart, and placed Duncan in a police c Duncan was discharged, and was again talZensinto custody in Crosshall-street, after the other prisoner was taken. They were committed for trial at the sessions. IMPOSITION BY M Court, on Saturday, two able-bodied fellows, named Joseph Hampson and Thomas M`Grain, were brought up on a charge of haVing obtained the sum of £7 from Matthew Lodge under false pretences. It appears that Lodge was going to America and agreed with M`Grain to give him 10s. fur putting him o❑ board the Virginian which was lying in the river. They had not proceeded far when M l Grain demanded £5, which Lodge said he had no alternative but to pay. He had left home without the knowledge of his father, and was anxious to get to America with all despatch. The next day the other prisoner, Hampson, came on board the Virginian, and said his (the prosecutor's) father had arrived in Liverpool, and that his only chance of making his escape from the old man was to be off immediately into Cheshire. The prosecutor got into the boat without delay, and paid the ide £7 e been £l2, for on the first occasion they demanded £lO for taking him from the pier to the vessel, but be had refused to give them more than £5. Mr. Lodge, sen., stated, hat, in company with officer Tuck, he had gone on hoard he Virginian in search of him. At that time, however, ais son bad left in the second boat for Cheshire; but, i❑ .:onsequence, as we learned afterwards, of information riven by the very bcatmen whom the unfortunate young man bad paid so extravagantly, he was descorered by his father at his lodgings in Liverpool. Mr. Rushton after some remarks as to the extortion perpetrated so frequent ly by the boatmen,•ordered M`Grain to pay a fine of which was done. Hampson was discharged, Mr. Rushton saying that there appeared no false pretence used on the second occasion. SPLENDID SHOW OF FAT CATTLE.-Mr. E. Speed, of Woolfall Hall, Huyton, admitted the public for the first time, on Saturday, to view his stock of fat cattle, in a yard on the vacant ground opposite the south end of the new assize courts, where the whole may yet be seen. They are shown in a range of covered stalls, and (in common.with other visitors) we must say that we never beheld so many fine beasts collected together, and in the possession of one individual. They number twenty, and every one of them prime of its kind, the greater portion having obtained prizes at the late " Dumfries Exhibition of the Royal and Highland Agricultural Society of Scot land," and the whole are intended for our Christmas markets, which will consequently, this year at least, he unequalled for its tempting display of the best beef. We were much gratified by an inspection of the whole lot, and scarcely know how, in justice, to express a prefer ence. Two black heifers, in the first stall, fed tbr the Duke of Buccleugh, and which obtained the premTbm of ten guineas, struck us as peculiarly fine, esppcially one of them of a superb Scotch breed, two years and a half old, with great weight of flesh and remarkably short legs. A more compact and firmer animal was never exhibited. Another fine heifer, solely grass fed by the Earl of Sel kirk, was equally attractive. Amongst the remainder, — all oxen,—are some 'first-rate samples, fed by the same nobleman; also, by Hugh Corris, Esq., Stair H. Stew art, Esq., Colonel M'Douall, and D. Tenant, Esq. Many of these are of large size, and of noble symmetrical ap pearance. Several of them will probably weigh twenty stones a quarter. Judges have pronounced the lot to be the choicest they have seen. They are all extremely do- cite, and may be approached without the slightest danger. The greater portion of them are already sold—some to Mr. Sharp, Copperas-hill; some to Mr. Lowcock. Lon don-road ; some to Mr. Hall, of St. John's Market ; and others—so that those who are fond of " the roast beef of Old England" will have ample choice of the primest joints during the ensuing holidays. In our last publication, we noticed that Daniel O'Con nell had replied to the charges brought against him by the " Commissioner," with respect to the condition of the property and tenantry at Cabirciveen ; and somewhat too hastily expressed our opinion that the former had the best of the battle. The commissioner, however, has re turned to the attack ; and in the following slashing re marks has placed the demagogue in a position from which he will have a difficulty in getting out without the truth of the question at issue between them being fairly tested. What course his wily opponent will adopt under the cir cumstances remains to be seen. We venture to predict, however, that Daniel will be " too busily engaged with Ireland's affairs," and the filling of his own pocket, to have leisure at any time - for going into the arbitration suggested :—" I will not, however, stoop to bandy talk with this man. I came not here to humbug the English people, and I shall at once take a course which every Eng lishman and every honest Irishman will say is a fair course, and offer to appoint six gentlemen, whom I will select from different parts, of Ireland; Mr. O'Connell, if he dare, may do the same ; I will proceed with them, in ten days, or whenever he pleases, to Cahirciveen ; I will show them, and him too, if he chooses t 6 corne, its dila pidation—its filth ; I will show them the inn of which he has said so much, and which (because of the incivility of its landlord to me) I willingly say, that with one excep tion it is the very worst that I have been in in the United kingdom ; I will take them to his estate under Mr. Har top, in the hills behind Wateruille, from which, as a mid dleman, he derives a profit rent of one-third of his in come, and about which, in his laboured defence, he has not said one word ; I will show them his tenants living there in a state of neglected wretchedness such as none would believe who did not see it, in huts not weatherproof, badly roofed, often with sods, without chimneys or win dows, and with literally an iron pot and a turfbasket as their only furniture. The beds, usually a heap of stones, covered with turf and leather; the tables, the turfbasket bottom upwards ; the mud-floor their seat. They shall see the multiplied pauperism, the infinite subdivision of land, the utter neglect and misery of the people, left there in a sta'e of nature, untaught, unheeded, to mul tiply in misery as they list. These poor people must be of necessity removed when the lease is out by Mr. Har top, who will then get all the odium of the misery which this middleman's neglect has created. They shall hear from the mouths of these poor people—this middleman's tenant farmers !—that they are in the habit of migrating to Cork, to Limerick, and to Waterford, in the potato season, in order to earn enough at potato digging, in corn. petition with the poor peasantry of those counties, to pay this middleman's rent. I will take them to Derrynane Beg,—l will let them look for themselves through the hovels there. They shall for themselves hear the stories about " Old Huntingcap," as O'Connell's father was called,—about whom I do not wish to say one word, and they will judge of the weight to be attached to his brag about his ancestry! Before " Huntingcap's" time they were unknown to fame," They shall hear for themselves, too, the stories about his morality, of which he makes so perpetual a boast. They shall hear, too, from tt dozen witnesses, who saw his tenant's cattle impounded and sold for rent but a month due, that Serjeant Jackson's charge against him, on whatever testimony founded, was true. They shall hear and see for themselves all this, and if they do not unanimously conclude as l aid, that this same Daniel O'Connell is the most unprincipled impos tor—the most•unblushing—pardon me ; I will not imitate his foul-mouthed phraseology) inventor of unfoUnded statements that the world ever saw, I will submit to be termed what he pleases. Now, this I challenge him to do, if be dares. Do not let him flatter himself that I shall shrink from the task, hateful as it may be, of fully exposing to the gaze of the world the whole history of his career, the full picture of his tenantry's condition. No glozing over, no cunning, no evasion, no talking about the Cahirciveen convent, and churchyard, and the butter market, shall avail him ; in allits appalling wretch edness, the condition of the poor, neglected, peaceful, and intelligent people on his property under Mr. flartop and under Lord Cork, at Derrynane Beg, shall be ex posed." Daniel has got hold of an awkward customer in this same " Commissioner." SABBATH-BRI FAKING BY TEIE BOARD OF TRAM.

Since Parliament had selected a day, which in fact was no day in law, common sense under the particular circumstances, would have taken the next, and no com mittee of Standing Orders would have dared to declare against the proceeding. It would not surprise us to find that railways which deposited their plans on the Monday should succeed in an argument that they were not prepared to violate the Sabbath, even though an oversight of " Standing Orders commanded, and 0- neither courage to do the right thing, and appoint Satur day, nor the cowardice to keep them from doing the wr. , ng, and taking Sunday.

YF sTF PrAlr* _ THE CORN LAWS.-LATEST INTELLIGENCE. The question of the truth or untruth of the announce ment of the Times, on the subject of the repeal of the Corn-laws, continues to occupy the attention of the Lon don paper", and indeed of every circle. The Globe of last night expresses its firm belief in the substantial cor rectness of the Times. The Standard, of course feebly, however, reiterates its contradiction : " We are at this moment ignorant, we are not asha med to own it—for without a breach of trust and the violat ion of an oath on the part of some one, all but the Cabin et Ministers themselves must be ignorant—to what exten t the Corn-laws have lately occupied the attention of he t Majesty's advisers, or whether they have occupied it at all; but we do know, that the Cabinet has come to no decision upon the subject." This is pure trifling after the charge of " atrocious fa brication," and the pointed and detailed contradiction. In our report of the corn market, it will be seen that wheat declined yesterday 3s. per quarter, at Mark Lan e. The report in the Standard states the decline at 3 s. to 45., and that some quantity remained unsold at the close o f the market, which it accounts for by the circumstance of " the Times adhering so strongly to its original statemen t, which continued to exercise a powerful effect on t he trade, and caused a timidity and reserve on the part of all buyers." —more LIARPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY , A decidedly firm market, and holders do not show their stocks freely.

A FERTILE RAILWAY LOCALITY A correspondent of the London Times has gleaned from Mr. Spacknnan's " Railway Interest of the United Kingdom," the fact that Moorgate-street, London, lrls given out 83 prospectuses of railways, the capit completion of which requires the enormous £90,175,000. _ _ _ _ sum of eight railways where np number. is mentioned; seven at No. 62! six at each of the Nos. 63 and 65 ; five at each of the Nos. 1, 34, 37 ; four at each of the Nos, 8, 29 • three at each of the Nos. 38, 41, 48, 64 ; two at each of the Nos. 3, 23, 21, 28, 46, 69, 61 Gresham- treet has issued prospectuses for 20 railways, requiring for completion the sum of £17,580,000., Eight - railways are planned of No. 5, of this street, which require of this £17,580,000 the sum of £7,950,000. the balance being required by one at No. 4A, two at each of the Nos. 25, 26, 33, and the remaining five at other pertaining to railways done in these localities, the figures are no doubt fair.

Horses were stand ing in _their stilbles for eight and forty hours harnesse course, very heavy charges were made. The parties en gaged in this work were so thoroughly jaded and worn out that they could hardly speak at the end of the journeys They could with difficulty tell what they wanted. At Ivy Bridge horses could not be obtained for love or money. One party, who wanted to come on to Plymouth, was told that he could not have a horse if he gave fifty pounds for it, and he must have failed in his object but for a returned chaise which just then arrived. The horses were scarcely able to stand—but that was of little consequence—the Standing Orders of the House had not been complied with, and come life come death the horses must go on. The state of things at Exeter, we hear, was a very Curious one. Three carriages and four, ordered two days before, had been waiting for the plans and books to come down by special trains to be dc in toe country. there were three special trains down.

The Cambridge Chronicle, of Saturday, says, "We are in a position to state that the London and York Board of Directors will entertain the offer of amalgamation made to them by Mr. Hudson. At their request that-offer has been formally communicated to them, and they will con sider it at their next meeting, to be holden on Tuesday, the 16th inst. The feeling in favour of accepting the offer is very strong amongst the shareholders generally, but .some of the Bedfordshire landholders we understand to be somewhat intractable: they constitute almost the only . obstacle to a friendly and satisfactory adjustment of the affair: Perhaps the signing, or rather non-signing of the new deeds may open their eyes a little to the real state of feeling amongst the proprietors."

Dr. Lyon Playlair has shewn, that in this one item Manchester has been expend ing £6OOOO a year, and that, if the expense of additional painting and whitewashing be added, the actual money loss wo❑ld be double the amount of the poor rates every year.
