TO CORRESPONDENTS. We are obliged t~ postpone our Plan of the Liverpool Docks for about a fortnight. in a paragraph in our last paper noticing the great success of the " Rat ler." which is propelled by Mr. F. P. Smith's patent screw, we. by mistake, stated her burthen to be 668 tons, in stead of 888 tons. The difference in the dimensions of the ship gives a still more favourable result in relation to her steam-power, the full extent of which we c rrectly furnished. We have been requested to state on authority that the meeting convened last week " for the purpose of rescuing All Saints' Church from the grasp cf Popery," was not sanctioned, or in any way authorised by the officiating minister. When we saw the placard, we never for a moment supposed such was the case; but as many persons are impressed with the idea that it was, it is as well to set them right. Although we have condensed as much as possible the important meetings held here during the past week, we ;.re compelled to forego for the present the publication of much interesting n atter. Ely Ktbrrpoot kvtanbarb. TUESDAY 2110RAING, OCT. 29, 1814. In another part of our paper we have presented to our readers an abstract of the corporation ac counts for the year, and added to it, for the conve nient reference of those who wish to compare the income and expenditure of the present with those of the past year, a similar abstract for 1843. We here take the liberty of directing attention to, and explaining a few of the items of these ; and at the same time of congratulating our fellow-towns men upon the results which they chew. It must be an object of great satisfaction to the community to observe the increase which has this year taken place in the ordinary income of our cor poration. In IFi43 the total amount at the credit side of its accounts was £122,230 Bs. 6d., whilst this year it is £132,072 Os. 21d., skewing an excess in favour of the present year of nearly £lO,OOO. And this, a very cursory glance at the comparative statement which we have given will skew to have arisen precisely in that branch of our local revenue which indicates the progress of the commerce of our port, viz. in that of " town dues," the amount of which was last year £63,364 15s. 7d., and which has risen this year to £73,132 15s. 4d., making an in crease of, in round numbers, £lO,OOO on the year. A gratifying increase is also to be noted in the "floes on leases," and, particularly, in the particular item of " fines in lieu of ground rent on leases," %•hick exhibits the progress of the demand for the unoccupied land of the corporation for building pur poses, and shows this year a surplus, over the ' amount of the same item last year, of £l,OOO. The other items on this side of the account, it will be seen, pretty nearly balance those of last year. With these gratifying facts presented to them, it may naturally create surprise in the minds of the public to find on the debtor side of the account a decreased surplus carried forward,as compared with that of last year; and the conclusion will perhaps be formed that the ordinary expenditure is increas ing in an equal ratio with the receipts. We are enabled, however, to assure them that this is not the case, and to shew that such increase of the former is more apparent and casual than real and perma nent. Thus, under the head of " law and parlia mentary expenses," we find an amount of £BO5O set down for the present year, against £4861 for 1843. It must be borne in mind, however, that the Council have had this year a more than ordinary amount of business before Parliament ; and there is certainly little chance of this item being an average of Sears to come. Again, the expense of the police force this year is put down at £17,668, against £13,347 last year. But there was a diminution last year, from £16.989 in the previous year, which chews that this is a fluctuating item. In fact, the amount brought into the accounts under this head represents the gross cost of the entire force, less the Various amounts coiitri6uted towards it by the Dock Trustees, the Parish, and the Out-townships; and is thus influenced by the satisfactory, or unsatisfactory state of the rate-collectors' books, and their pay ments to the borough fund. It must be explained, however, in addition, that the numbers of the police force this year have been augmented, in order to provide for the more efficient watching of the ware house property of the port. The " Lighting, Cleansing, and Fire-police," has increased about £l5OO this year, in part for the reasons given for the increase of the last item, and, no doubt, in part from the increase of new streets in the out-town ships, which cannot as yet have been made to con tribute for the cost of their lighting and security. The item, which has told most, however, upon the diminished amount of the surplus, is the in creased payment made this year on account of "county expenses,"—viz., £ll,OOO, instead of 4000 paid last year ; or an excess of £7OOO, a large por tion of which might have been carried to "extra ordinary account" or to Borough capital. We may remark, in explanation, that the exact amount of the County's claim upon the estate of the Corpora tion has not as yet been settled, and is at present under arbitration. It may probably amount to between fiveand six thousand poundsperannum ; and the Finance Committee, under the circumstances of their flourishing condition, and for other wise rea sons, no doubt, have preferred a temporary over payment to the County to an under -payment which would increase, only apparently however, the sur plus at their disposal. Upon the whole then, the financial results of the present year must be con sidered highly satisfactory; and viewed in conjunc lion with the circumstances at which we have glanced above, promises to be even more so in years to come. But another, and the most important feature in these accounts, is presented in the "General State ment of the Financial Affairs of the Corporation," to which we direct the especial attention of our readers. This noble estate owes a bonded debt of £1,137,106 19s. Bd., after paying the interest of which, it provides and supports the public build ings of the town, contributes largely to the maintenance of its police, its watching, cleansing, lighting ; its churches, cemeteries, public walks and gardens ; its courts of law, and gaols ; its schools and charities; and is able to boast of a yearly surplus over and above its ordinary expenditure. But the statement to which we refer holds out to us assured prospects, of abilities and usefulness to come, infinitely greater than any which have already been experienced. The interest of the bonded debt of the estate, at present 4 per cent, is now in gradual course of reduction to 31 per cent, per annum, by which operation, when completed, a large accession of nett income will be derived. A portion of the unproductive property of the estate—Wallasey Pool—has this year been sold, of the purchase-money of which the sum of £315948 Bs. id. is now at interest at 5 per cent. — The property of the corporation at the north shore bas been disposed of to the Dock Trustees of Liver pool, the purchase-money of which, £254,830 ss. sd, is at interest, at 3 ,7 ,- per cent. From these sources, we may calculate, in the year to come, upon an in crease in the "ordinary income" of the corporate estate, of no less than TWENTY-FOUlt THOUSANDS PER ANNUM, applicable to purposes of public im provement, or to the gradual liquidation of its bonded debt ! Or looking further still, to the pay ment of these and other sales and obligations due, the debt of the estate will, after no long course of years. be reduced by the amount of the present balance of £665,573 19s. 10d., and the proceeds of the sale of the land referred to in the note appended to the statement, now valued at £42,500. In other words, this estate, held for the benefit of the borough of Liverpool, with a rerenue vastly increased in pro ductiveness, will only have to provide for the interest of A DEBT DIMINISHED BY UPWARDS OF SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. Is it possible to estimate sufficiently the import ance of such a consummation ? Or can such a state of things, as we have here humbly endeavoured to bring clearly before our readers and the public of Liverpool, be paralleled elsewhere in the United. Kingdom ? We submit that it can not ; and, al though much of the credit of our present position y be fairly attributed to the wise foresight of "the rotten Corporation"—save the mark !—of former days, which providently accummulated, despite of the would-be-wise, p ro p er ty w hi c h h as s i nce b een f oun d so valuably available for the increase of the revenue of the estate, a just rneed of admiration and gratitude is fairly due to the sagacity and prudent care of the present Finance Committee. Bodies of men may perhaps be found, who deal in larger and more mag nificent measures; more flashy chancellors may pre side over the exchequer, and regulate the finances of other towns or empires ; but we are satisfied—fully satisfied—with those who have, through this state ment of the result of their honesty and prudence, enabled us to challenge surrounding localities to produce a result equally satisfactory. In the name of the present generation of our fellow-townsmen— in the name of future generations who will be pri vileged to enjoy the full amount of the benefits now in prospect, we thank the members of the present Finance Committee. It would be ungenerous in us were we conclude our gratifying task without expressing our sense of the ability with which these accounts have been prepared by Mr. Wybergh, the treasurer, and his efficient clerk, Mr. Neilson. Their lucid arrange ment has rendered our own labour lighter ; and must be infinitely satisfactory to the Committee, the result of whose labours they record, as well as to the public. We have only room for a single sentence, which is applicable to the constituencies of every ward, at the municipal elections on Friday. We ask them to look at the present position of the affairs of the borough, which we have elsewhere referred to, and to say if it is not sufficiently satisfactory to warrant their confidence in the present constitution of the Council. Let them compare, too, the calm business like tone of its pi esent proceedings with the strife of past years ; and say, whether the former ought to be interrupted by such pettifogging attempts to in troduce disorder as those which are now being made. RESIGNATION OF THE HEAD CONSTABLE From what appeared in the columns of our local journals last week, as well as from rumours abroad, our readers must have been prepared to learn on an early occasion, either that Mr. Miller had resigned, or that he had so far accommodated his opinions to the practice hitherto pin.. sued by the Watch Committee, that some mutual arrange ment would be come to, so as to avert the necessity and inconvenience of a change. Of the latter alternative he did not avail himself, and being thrown upon the former, Mr. Miller, on Saturd y last, tendered his resignation, which was accepted, with a liberal allowance, in the shape of salary to a given day, in consideration of the domestic expenses which he incurred in removing with his family from Glasgow. Of the peculiar circumstances that have led to his retirement from the service of the borough, we are in possession of some particulars ; but details, as the matter now stands are unnecessary, especially as the busi ness will be gone into at the Council meeting to-morrow. The following is a copy of Mr. Miller's letter of re signation:— Liverpool, 26th Oct. 1844 GENTLEMEN hegleave to resign into your hands the situa noel to which you did me the honour to appoint me last March. On accepting that appol: tment I resigned an office which I had held, not only with the general approbation of the public autho rities, but of the citizens of Glasgow, for nearly eight years; and in coming to Liverpool I subjected myself to great domes tic expense and inconvenience; but finding that I cannot any longer satisfy either you or myself, I deem it due to the public and my own sense of right, to challenge the worst conse quences, rather than continue in an office the duties of which I can no longer fulfil with satisfaction to myself. In retiring I hope to leave behind no unkind feeling : 1 entertain none. I am, Gentlemen, yours very respectfully, (s,idned) H. MILLER On receipt of this communication, the following resolu tion was agreed to by the Committee; and a copy of it transmitted to Mr. Miller by the Secretary : Resolved —That this resignation be accepted, and that, in con. Weration of the heavy expenditure to which Mr. Miller has been subjected, in removing and establisl•ing his family in Li verpool, it he recommended to the Council to allow him his sa lary up to the 27th February next, on which day in the present year his appointment took place. To Mr. Henry Miller. LANDSEER'S PICTURE OF " SHOEING." We have seldom been more delighted than by an in ' spection of this chef d'ceuvre of Landseer's art, which is now on private view for a few days at the rooms of Mr. Grundy, in Church-street ; and we regret much that our limits will compel us to be brief in our notice of it. The subject of the painting is a simple one, and one peculiarly suited for the artists peculiar powers,—the interior.of a smithy. The figures are limited to four, unless a black bird may be included,—the horse, a fine animal, in the act of being shod; the smith engaged in placing the shoe; a donkey tethered to an anvil, and a fine bloodhound in the left corner of the foreground. These are given with a truthfulness and beauty, both of design and colouring, which we have never seen equalled. The sleek skin of the horse is especially, and we may even say wonderfully painted ; and the exquisite rounding of the body is so well brought out, as almost to stand out from the canvas. The whole details of the picture--the minutiae—are wrought with wonderful effect. The tool-box on the floor in the foreground is in itself a perfect picture. The " red bottle '' to the ri4ht of the foreground is also managed with wonderful effect. The anvil, too, is a fine piece of painting, as is the forge and its paraphernalia. The floor of the smithy, strewed with hoof pairings and cooled sparks of iron, is a perfect illusion—so real, so exquisitely finished throughout. Altogether, a painting, so fine of its class, by this or any other master, never came under our eye, and it ought to be seen by every connoisseur. This painting, which was the great attraction at the Royal Academy exhibition, was presented by the artist to Jacob Fletcher, Esq., one of the earliest of his patrons, the horse being drawn from one in that gentleman's pos session. Her Majesty, we understand, was so struck with its merit, during her private view of the paintings at the exhibition, that she expressed a wish to be its pos sessor, and the sum of l SOO guineas has been offered for it to go abroad. The terms, however, of he gilt to its present possessor prevented either of these offers being gratified. We understand that it is to be engraved by Lewis, the engraver of Landseees celebrated painting of "Bolton Abbey in the olden time," probably the only man who can do justice to its peculiar excellencies. UNITED STATES.—By the packet ship, Patrick Henry, which arrived yesterday, we have received New York papers to the 7th instant, being three days later than the advices previously received. The intelligence is unim portant. The Caledonia arrived at Beston on the 3d instant. We shall, in all probability, receive in the course of this morning, our despa'ches by the Fost.in steamer. ALGIERS.—A letter from this place, dated the 20th instant, states—" I have only time to inform you, that the Governor-General received at two o'clock the impor tant informa►ion that the Kabyles had risen en masse, and that several hitherto friendly tribes had declared against France. Three steam-boats have been ordered to be got ready to convey troops. The steam-packet ready to convey dispatches for France has also been or dered to re-land the dispatches, and to prepare to receive troops and ammunition." THE FUNDS, SATURDAY NIGHT.—At the Stock-Es change to-day business was not of any great importance, and prices were rather flat, Consols for money leaving off 991 to I, and for the account, 998 to 100. Bank Stock closed 202 to 204; India Stock, 286 to 288; Exch,quer bills, 71s. to 735. premium ; Three per Cents Reduced, 99 to 1i New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1018 to 102! Long Annuities, 12 1-16; and India Bonds, 90 to 92. In the foreign market there was not much doing. Portuguese was firm at the advanced rate of 521 to 53} Spanish scarcely supported opening prices, the Five per Cents. leaving off 233 to z, and the Three per Cents., 341 to 1; Peruvian closed 241 to 251 ; Mexican, 344 to the Deferred, 158 to : Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 621 to 63 ; the Five per Cents., 988 to I; Da nish, 88 to 89 ; Chilian, 101 to 103 ; Columbian, 14 to ; Buenos Ayres, 36 to 37 ; Brazilian, 85 to 86 ; Belgian, 103 to 104 ; Austrian, 114 to 116. Some time between nine and tenlo'clock on Sunday evening some thieves entered the Cotton Sales-room in the Exchange-buildings by cutting through the door and shooting the lock. Fortunately they did not obtain any booty. The North Lancashire Steam Packet Company held their half-yearly meeting at Fleetwood on Monday. A dividend was declared of 21 per cent., to be paid on the 29th, out of the clear profits of the vessels, atter provid ing for the reserve fund. - - - THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHlP. — This noble ves sel is at length released from her protracted confinement in the float. The necessary alterations in the upper lock leading from Cumberland Basin into the floatng havi been made, she was on Friday evening, betwee❑ six arid seven o'clock, removed from her moorings on the sea-banks, and proceeded majestically down the floating harbour to the entrance of the lock, where she remained for the night, and on Saturday morning at seven o'clock she was brought safely through the lock into Cumberland Basin, where she will remain for a few days to have the screw affixed, &c. It is then intended that she shill make one or two trial trips, after which she will proceed to London. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—At the Court of Passage, on Wednesday, Ann Depledge sought to re cover from Mr. Duncan Campbell the sum of .£l9 19s. for a breach of promise of marriage. It appeared, from the evidence, that Miss Depledge lives with Mr. Lucas, eating-house-keeper, Bath-street, who is her relation. The defendant, Mr. Campbell, is a cartowner. He is forty years old, and a widower, with several children. Some time since he declared himself attached to Miss Depledge, who is about seventeen years old. It was agreed that she was to be sent to sch oo l f or a year, an d h e would, at the expiration of that tim e , marry h er. Th e i girl was sent to a school n Yorkshire, but th e d e f en d an t broke his promise and married another woman. The jury found for the plaintiff: damages, £l9 19s. EXTENDED SUPPLY OF WATER.—Last week, a meet ing was held at Manchester, in order to secure a much larger supply of water for the town than can at present be had. Among other plans, Mr. Bateman's seemed to have the decided preference, and a resolution was adopted that an Act of Parliament should be applied for to carry it into effect. He (Mr. Bateman) proposes to procure a supply from the Swineshaw Hills, to the east of St dy bridge, about ten miles from Manchester, and six from Gorton; to erect impounding reservoirs there (at a level of about 400 feet above the higher parts of Manchester); and to convey it thence in pipes, either to Gorton or direct to Manchester, as shall hereafter be judged most expedient, The supply will he obtained from the area of 3,700 acres, producing 7,700,000 gallons per day. The cost is estimated at £96,000. DESPERATE B Saturday night week, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, the dwell ing -house of Mr. Thomas Worthington, at Mancetter, near Atherstone, W arwickshire, was broken into by a gang of ruffians, wearing black masks, and their persons otherwise disguised by black linen, which they wore over their clothes. The house is in a very lonely spot, and a considerable distance from any other dwelling, It seems the hurg!ars commenced their operations by cutting a hole in the front door. This awoke the inmates, and Mr. Worthington and his niece proceeded to the door, and, though the old gentleman is eighty-nine years old, he made a gallant resistance. They were at length, how ever, overpowered, and the house was ransacked, A reward of £lOO has been offered for the apprehension 9f the burglars.

EXTENSINE ROBBERY FROMTIIE PERSON. — Elizabeth Peters, and Margaret Cummings, young women, were yesterday charged at the Police-court with robbing a cat tle-dealer, named Charles Hamilton, of the sum of £lOl. The complainant said that he had come with cattle from Ireland, and had, on Saturday night, been drinking in Langan's, near the Clarence Dock. On coming out he found the prisoners at the door, and they persuaded him to go with them. A young man, a relation from the same part of Ireland, was with him, and wished him not to go — taking his purse from him to take care of, but which he returned without opening it, and he (complainant) put it safely into his inside waistcoat pocket. He afterwards went with one of the prisoners—the other being at hand— and she eventually got hold of the purse and ran away, leaving him no chance of pursuit.—The young man al luded to was sent for, and corroborated the testimony so far—also identifying ie prisoners. Both had before been committed, and they were sent for trial. Nothing had been heard of the money. PUBLIC WASH-HOUSES AND BATIIB. - At a time when the desirableness of providing institutions like the above, for advancing the cleanliness of the working classes in great towns is being so strongly urged, it may be interest ing to know the actual working of tbose recently estab lished in the borough of Liverpool. From the Corpora tion Accounts of toe past year, just published, we find that the total working expenses of the Liverpool new wash-houses and baths for the twelve months ended 31st August, 1844, including salaries of keepers, wages of firemen, coals, gas, water, &c., were £37 3 ls. 10 d. The receipts for the use of the same were £3lO 7s. Od., leav ing a balance to the debit side of the account of only £62 14s. 10d. We are informed, however, that the receipts are steadily increasing ; and, bearing in mind that the institution is new, there is every probability, and indeed a certainty, that when the poorer classes begin to experience the undoubted benefits of its use, it will be come a self-remunerating one. Such a result of an ex periment, decided at the time of its first being proposed, ought to be an encouragement for its adopt 4 on here on a I k rser scale ? and its trial in other towns.

On Thurs day evening deceased was much burnt by upsetting a jug of hot water from a table. Erie died the following day. Verdict accordingly. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE DOCKS.—Yesterday, about mid-day, as a man named William Sloane, about tif; y years of age, and who was generally employed in assorting timber, was passing a lorry discharging cotton under the crane at the South side of the Union Dock, a bale, which the carter was moving with his hook, fell upon him from the top of the load, and crushed him so dreadfully that he never again spoke, and it is supposed he died almost in stantly. The deceased has left a wife, but no child. The inquest will be held this day. BEGGARS.—Mr. Gray, of the Parish-office, appeared yesterday at the Police -court, to hear the informations preferred before Mr. Rushton, against between twenty and thirty persons who had been apprehended for begging, and receivin the magistrate's directions respecting them. Amongst them were many poor creatures, young and old, including destitute females with infant children, and others who had been deserted by their husbands. Some of them consented to be passed to their parishes; relief was or dered for others, and a few were discharged with a strong caution. STEALING A WATCH.—Yesterday, at the Police -court, a woman named Margaret Hewitt was charged by Edward James, a warehouseman, with stealing his watch. Com plainant said that at two o'clock that morning (yesterday,) he had gone to a house with the prisoner, who there seized his watch, cut the guard, and, throwing the article under the bed, endeavoured to make off. He got hold of her, and held her, until. giving the alarm, a constable came, and took her into custody. The watch (stated to be worth £7 75.) was not fund ; but a hole was observed in the floor, near the spot where it had been thrown. The pri soner was committed for trial. We understand that Messrs. Seeley and Co., the Lon don publishers, have in the press an important and seasonable letter on the rumoured concessions to Popery in Ireland, addressed to Sir Robert Peel, by a clergyman of this diocese. CASH-BOX FOR THE KING OF ASIIANTEE.—We have seen, at Messrs. Chubb and Sons', of St. Paul's Church yard, a very elegant cash-box, which they have just com pleted for the King of Ashantee. It is made of solid silver, and weighs two hundred and seventy-six ounces, the size being seventeen inches long, twelve inches wide, and seven inches deep. The ornaments and chasing, consisting chiefly of lions, tigers, and elephants' heads, designed by Mr. T. Sharp, are of the richest description ; and the box, which is intended to hold his Majesty's gold-dust, is secured by one of the detector locks, haying a massive gold key.—Morning Chronicle. 73129 14 1 864 16 0 2002 0 4 7532 8 0 13229 3 10 1957 8 1 7045 2 2G4 2 3 6174 3 2 400 12 0 1685 6 01 10527 1 7 4082 0 1 277 10 0 209 3 10 2675 1 04 497 1 3 2948 3 6 2751 2 5 176 11 3 53 16 11 2 10 0 1 118067 1 8 615 13 1 3507 13 9 50 0 0 923 11 5 10204 11 8 4054 15 9 82 10 0 217 11 4 3128 10 6 200 12 3 3154 14 3 2060 9 8 162 0 7 151 13 2 128365 15 9 696 15 7 12 5 11 2947 2 11 50 0 0 X a. d 63364 15 790 11 1686 4 8161 18 10745 14 950 2 DEATH OF THE TOWN CLERK. We have this day the painful task of announcing to our readers the death of Richard Radcliffe ' Esq., Town Clerk of this borough, which took place at Leamingto n , about half-past eleven o'clock on the night of Friday last. For some months past the health of this universally esteemed gentleman, and excellent public officer, had been in an un atisfsctory state; and he was urged by his family and friends ta endeavour to recruit himself, by a temporary absence fr , m the labours end cares of his highly responsi ble office. It was not, however, until about three weeks ago that he was induced, at the instance, mainly, of several leading members of the various committees, who feared for the effect of the incessant pressure of business upon his then shattered frame, to comply with this request; and he proceeded, accompanied by Mrs. Radcliffe and his son, to Leamington. Since his arrival there, his health has continued with a slight and treacherous intermission, to decline, so rapidly es to excite the serious alarm of his friends; and it was rumoured about on Saturd a y, th a t death had terminated his labours in this world. Tae rumour, however, though unfortunately it has since proved too correct, was at that period supposititious, and had arisen apparently from his having had an attack of para lysis about four days previously, which partially deprived him of the use of his left side, and caused the worst ap prehensionsto be entertained by his physicians. Numerous and anxious enquiries were made at the Town Hall during the day ; and the accounts given led his friends to expect that the post on Sunday. or Monday morning at furthest, would bring an account of the melancholy event; and on Sunday it was accordingly communicated to the Mayor and to the members of his family at home that he had ceased to live. Mr. Radcliffe was the son of Mr. John Radcliffe, guager in the Customs; and was educated at the school of the Rev. Mr. Fearon, then situated in Mount-pleasant, in this town. He served his clerkship to the late Mr. Joshua Lace, (father of Mr. Ambrose Lace, of the firm of Laces, Myers, Rigge, and Roscoe,) by whom he was highly valued and esteemed, and who predicted, when he had only served the first three years of his clerkship, his future eminence in his profession. As an instance of the esteem of Mr. Lace for the lamented deceased, we may mention that aftcr Mr. R. had been for some lime in prac tice, he presented him with a handsome service of plate. In 1813 he commenced business on his own account, and was for many years at the head of the eminent firm of Radcliffe and Duncan; and, in 1836, he was appointed Town-clerk and Clerk of the Peace, at a salary of £2,000 per annum, which offices he held up to his death, a period of eight years, with credit to himself and satisfaction to the public. He presided, during the whole of that time, over one of the subordinate courts, where numberless complicated questions came continually before him. His decisions on each were always considered sound, and given with remarkable judgment and perspicuity, and there never was a case tried before him which was after wards sent for adjudication elsewhere. The records of the Town-hall contain many testimonies from the judges of the land, as well as from the most eminent counsel of the day, respecting his abilities as a lawyer, and his saga city and foresight as a man of business. In his early youth Mr. Radcliffe's, politics were of the conservative school, as were those of his father. He was an ardent supporter of the late George Canning in all his contests in Liverpool ; and although, during the agitation for the Reform Bill, and previously, he entertained liberal views (as it is well kown did many conservatives) with respect to the necessity of this and other ameliorating measures, he never identified himself with the vvhig party, and, indeed, always disclaimed any change from the opi nions of his early days. Considerations of politics, how ever, never entered into the performance of his public duties ; and he succeeded in the very difficult task of performing them to the satisfaction of both parties, and of winning the confidence of all. By the death of Mr. Radcliffe the borough of Liver pool has sustained a loss which will be deplored by men of all parties, as well upon private as upon public grounds. There are few who have had the pleasure of enjoying his society in his private circle, who can readily forget his amiable and engaging character ; and none with whom he has ever been brought in contact in the course of his pro fessional career who will not readily acknowledge the clearness of intellect and judgment, mingled with deep legal knowledge, which on every occasion he displayed. Nor were opportunities wanting to test any of these qualitie s , especially since his entrance upon the arduous duties of Town Clerk and professional adviser to the Bench. In all the multifarious, and some of them in tricate, questions which have been presented to him in these capacities, a general correctness and soundness of information and judgment have characterised his decisions, which have stamped him as a lawyer of the highest order, and an authority upon whose opinion no individual or public body need fear to act with implicit confidence. Mr. Radcliffe was married to Miss Mary Anne Hayton, (the daughter of the late Mr. John Hayton,) by whom be had five sons and two daughters. Mrs. Radcliffe, the two daughters and four of the sons, are left to mourn the loss of one of the best of husbands and most affectionate of fathers, in which they will recei ve th e h ear tf e lt sym pathy of this community. A most important question now arises, and unfortunately too, with respect to the party to be appointed to fill the cffiee, held so efficiently by Mr. Radcliffe. Upon this subject we should have hesitated to offer any suggestions or even remarks; but a contemporary has given to the public the names of three gentlemen, as aspirants to that position, which circumstance releases us from any difficulty upon the score of delicacy at least. The names in question are those of Mr. Ambrose Lace, Mr. John North, Mr. W. Shuttleworth, and Mr. John Buck Lloyd. All these gentlemen possess in every respect unexceptionable claims to the office, but they are evidently mentioned without authority as we know that neither of the two first has en tertained the slightest idea of offering himself to the Council ; and we are reminded, moreover, that in ac cordance with the resolution of the Council two years ago, adopted on the recommendation of the paid officers' Com mittee, it is extremely probable that the duties performed by the late Town Clerk will, for the future, be apportioaed between two distinct officers, the one performing the duties which belong to the office of Town Clerk, and the other that of the Clerk of Peace. The salary recom mended for the former of these two offices is £2,000 per annum. That for the latter remains to be filled up by the Council; but will scarcely, we believe, be one-half that of the Town Clerk, though the gentleman appointed will not be debarred frcm transacting other business. The same committee also recommends the appointment of an additional officer, who shall perform the duties of Clerk of the Council and Prosecuting Solicitor, with a salary of £l,OOO per annum. Of course we are not at present advised bow far these arrangements will be adopted by the council. Presuming, however, that they will in a great measure be carried out, we gather, from the feeling existing at present in influential quarters, that Mr. Shut tleworth, the present most efficient deputy, is likely to be strongly supported for the office of Town-clerk, with the duties of which he must be intimately acquainted. Mr. J. B. Lloyd, we believe, will offer him. self as Clerk of the Peace ' • and, from that gentl eman ' s known business habits, and his long experience in the du ties of the office, during his connexion with the late Mr. Thomas Foster, and since that period, we cannot conceive that any more eligible selection can be made. We gladly leave the matter, however, to the unbiassed decision of the council. Since the above was written, and at too late an hour to enable us to make inquiry into its truth, a report has rtached us that Mr Peter Wright is a candidate for one or other of the vacant offices. Mr. Wright is a man in all respects qualified fur office, and his claims are entitled to every consideration. Ile stands high —very high—in the profession, and has devoted gratuitously his time and talents to the public service for a considerable period. MARRIAGE LAWS-PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS,—We having issued a proclamation, on Tuesday. October 31st, 1843, (that being the festival d.ty of Hallow-eve,) for increasing the number of marriages in the borough of Livertool, and the said proclamation hav ing the desired effect of remedying, in a great measure, this local grievance, it has been resolved, by a court of in quiry, that the law stand the same and be extended to Hallow-eve, Thursday, 0 tober 31st, in the present year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-four.
