The " Reminiscences of men and things, by one who has a good memory," are directed this month to the career of Leopold I, king of Belgium. They are, like all the wri tings of this contributor, lively and faithful, as to His torical facts ; but the medium, through which the charac ter of his subject is looked at. strikes us as somewhat too flattering. The acknowledged virtues of Leopold are brought into the strongest light, whilst his• defects are either thrown into the shade, or glossed over, too much after the mariner of a thick and thin apologist. " The History of a week " is the production of a graceful pen and a mind stored with reading of the best description. Fitzboodle's slashing notice of the last production of the author of " Random Recollections " is tremendously and almost cruelly severe. So very small a twaddler as Mr. James Grant, scarcely required such heavy hitting to crush him ; and yet the provocation, repeated time after time,—the continual drain upon the pockets of the gullible public by this and other" small deer"—demanded a castigation sufficiently severe to be effective. Amongst the remaining portion of the numbe-, the most attractive and lively are the letters of " the incomparable" Fanny Engler, describing her triumphant career at Ha vana. We have hitherto been delighted with Fanny as dancer which presents to us so many graceful combinations, CO; tains a mind graceful and even poetical. Dublin University Magazine.--Mr. Lever, in this number presents us with the concluding " Fragments " of " The loiterings of Arthur O'Leary" : and we are really sorry to part with a character who has for so many months delighted us. Doubtless, however, we shall next month be introduced to some other creation of the same fertile pen, who will assume the position in our affections, which Mr. O'Leary h as j us t res i gne d . " Arrah Neil" is this month very brief, and the story very little advanced. We cannot refrain from offering, by the way, our advice to the Editor of the Dublin UnivPrsily, upon the subject of these continued tales. If we are to have romances in three volumes published in Magazines, they should not be divided into such very small fragments. Readers can t carry with them the early inp;d.nts of a story through period of twelve or c " helm] i sixty kind to most I " Madden's United Irish men " receives very proper treatment at the hands of its Reviewer, as does the letter of Mr. S.

The literary articles are well written; but we have pe rused with the greatest interest the narrative, by Major- General Elphinstone, of the events preceding and during the disastrous calamity of the British army in that blood stained land ; and Major• General Elphinstone, from his position there, is an important witness. Ainsworth's Magazine, for the present number, affords us ample proof of the continuance of the editor's praise worthy exertions to afford amusement and instruction to his numerous readers. His own contribution—" Modern Chivalry"—is here braught to a conclusion, and will, no doubt, be published in a separate form. It possesses many beauties and much knowledge of life ; and though in a different style from his most popular and best writings, will, we have no doubt, find many admirers. We observe that a new Romance, by the same writer, " St. James's, or the Court of Queen Anne." A Companion to " the Tower of London," " Old St. Paul's," and " Windsor Castle" is to be commenced in the January number. Tom Burke of Ours.—We have this month two num bers of this—in our opinion, best of the productions of Mr. Lever—in which the first volume of Tom Burke is concluded. We are taken through that portion of the stirring events of the wars of the French empire, which terminated in the important victory of " The Field of Austerlitz ;" and which are described with more than the author's usual graphic power. This first volume is in scribed, in a beautifully appropriate dedicatory address, to Miss Edgeworth. Martin Chuzzletvit.--The machinations of Mr. Peck. sniff are further developed in this number.

He scarcely could have heard this prayer in the min.. of the hootings of the crowd ; but that voice, that sup pliant attitude, those features so well and fondly che- rished in his memory, electrified the young man.

On Monday week a cow was cut in two by the afternoon train from York to Castleford. Lieutenant-General Sir Peregrine Maitland has been appointed Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, in place of Sir G. Napier. The town-council of Yarmouth have resolved to abolish the dues previously exacted from vessels for "anchorage" in Yarmouth Roads. Balfe has sold the music of the " Bohemian Girl" for £4OO to Messrs. Chappell, who have given Bunn £lOO for the words of the songs, &c. RETURN OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT.—On Thursday the royal party, after their provincial trip, re turned to Windsor in perfect health. Up yards of 40 vessels cleared out of Limerick on Fri day, laden with corn, flour, butter, and provisions, for ports in England and Scotland. . - we have it now i n ev id ence that tne form LONG SERVICES.—The 55th regiment, now in China, has been abroad since 1821; the 3rd, since 1822; and the 13th and 40th, since 1823. Mr. Aldam, M.P. for Leeds, who is now on a tour in the United States, has just purchased the Frickley Hall, Yorkshire, estate for £63,000. The butchers in the neighbourhood of Darlington have commenced killing cattle and sheep for the London mar ket, and sending them regularly by railway ; which they find to answer their purpose. ALL PEWTER.—A few nights since the Baptist Chapel situate in Vere's Yard, Stratford, was broken into. The burglars finding the plate to be all pewter, they decamped, leaving the booty behind. A Mr. Wyett, of Cheapside, has complained to the newspapers that the League have set his name down as a subscriber to their fund, whilst, in fact, he is opposed to NATIONAL CHESS MATCH.—Eleven games have played between M. St. Arrant and Mr. Staunton, 'aris. Mr. Staunton, the English champion, has won eight games, M. St. Amant two, and one game was drawn. From an oificial return just presented to the govern ment, it appears that since the year 1829, no less than forty-five thousand new houses, forming seven hundred and fifty new streets and squares, have been erected, or on and its suburbs. a very nova are in a THE DAILY PAPERS.—It is said that the proprietors of the daily papers intend to raise the price of their papers from sd. to 6d. Assuming the circulation of the Times to be 12,000 a day, this will give to that paper an addi tional profit of 4:15,650 a year. It will give some idea of the loss sustained by the holders of t ..e shares of the United States Bank, when we state, that 100 shares, which sold, on Saturday, in London, for £9OO, originally cost the holder £22,000. — Standard. 'art °f I PEDESTRI Ism.—On Tuesday evening last, at twenty minutes to five o'clock, John Perry, the American black, commenced, in Ripon, the arduous task of 'walking one mile and a quarter every hour for a thousand successive hours. His average speed appears to be about 161 minutes for the hour's distance. The indisposition of Earl Grey has increased so much during the lest few days, as to excite the most serious ap prehensions of the family, nearly all the members of which are assembled at Howick. The venerable earl is confined to his room, and is said to be gradually sinking from exhaustion, arising from decay of nature. A NEW FEMALE OCCUPATION.—The School of De sign at Somerset-house has established a class for the in struction of women in wood engraving. It is already well attended, and has added another to the very limited op portunities for the occupation of female talent which exist in this country. INCREASE OF HOUSES.—In Leeds it appears by the late census returns, about 6000 houses were built in the ten years from 1831 to 1841 ; and in Manchester about 12.000; being an increase of 36 per cent. Between 1831 and 1841, half a million new houses were built in England and Wales. STEAM CARRIAGE. -Mr. Waller has made two or three experimental trips with his steam carriage during the week. On Monday afternoon he steamed along Tyr rel-street, Market -street, up Cheapside, and along Man ningham-lane. By these trips he has discovered some trifling defects in the details of the machine, and ascer tained that its principle is sound.—Bradford Observer. LOSSES AT SEA.—On referring to the list of vessels registered at Montrose at the commencement of the pre sent year, we find the shipping of that port stated at 127 vessels, and 16,300 tons. The total losses during the year already amount to 12-1,725 tons ; say upwards of a tenth of the gross tonnage of the port.—Montrose Re view, Dec.]. AN EXPENSIVE PAUPER.—John Harris, a pauper be longing to the parish of Writtle, died in Chelmsford Union workhouse, on the Ist instant, in his 84th year. This man had been chargeable to the parish of Writtle, from his birth, and it is presumed that his average weekly cost for the whol ?eriod of his life has not been less than 45., amounting in the aggregate, to £837 12s. !—Essex Herald. HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—It appears that the amount already voted, from the year 1835 to 1842, was £438,500, of which £38,483 was expended in February last. It is estimated, to complete the buildings, that a further sum ,f £598,424 12s. 9d. will be required. In the return it is tated that a further expenditure will be wanted for corn - 'se landing-places, for providing furniture, fit , for the several offices and official residences. tines, &c., TIIE Ps NT POSTAGE The profits upon Postage are as to be scarcely worthy of ; and ( AN U N SAFE BANS.-An old man named Rider, living at Tenbury, a short ti m e ago rece i ve d a b out £4OO from a gentleman in London, who had held the same at 5 per cent. interest, but'who then had no further use for it; the old man and his wife agreed it would be the safest place to deposit the property in a small box, to be buried in a deep hole in his garden ; this was accordingly done ; but having subsequently found another customer to invest the money with, the old man went on Sunday last to dig it up, but found to his great amazement that the box with its contents had vanished.- Worcester paper. SALE OF TEA AT HULL.-The entire cargo of teas brought by the Raymond, from Canton, direct to Hull, was on Wednesday submitted for sale by auction. The cargo consisted of 4897 chests of Congou, 200 half chests Souchoug, 191 half chests Orange Pekoe, 200 half chests Black-leaf Pekoe, 200 half chests Flowery Pekoe, 600 boxes, 1000 half chests Twankay, 150 boxes, 200 half chests Hyson, 170 half chests Hyson, 165 half chests Imperial, 204 half chests and 150 boxes Gunpowder. Total, 8327 packages. Prices were expected to rule a little below those now obtaining in the metropolis. They, however, realised full current London rates, and in some instances ruled rather higher, particularly Twarkays. REVIVING TRADE .-Among the signs of reviving trade and returning commercial prosperity, we may mention that during the month of November last, the amount of receipts at the National Security Savings' Bank, in Hut cheson-street, was no less than £20,970 19s. 10d., in 4,262 transactions •, while the amount of repayments was only £14,131 18s. 9d., in 2,625 transactions. Consider ing that £lO,OOO at least of the repayments may have been, as in previous years, for Martinmas and half-yearly dwelling-house rents to landlords, the above simple facts are peculiarly remarkable and gratifying. We learn also that in the same sbort month of November, there were no fewer than 669 pass-books opened to persons who were never at the bank before.-Glasgow Argus. THE COMET.-The new comet has been observed from Paris and London. It is thus described by Sir James South :-" This comet was observed here with the five feet equatorial, whose object-glass is 4i inches aperture, about eight o'clock last evening [3oth Nov.] ; with the large achromatic, of 11 inches 9-10ths diameter, its nu cleus, with powers of 150 and 300, seemed not round, but elongated in the direction of the tail ; which latter, after moonset, extended about 11 minutes. It does not bear much illumination of the field, although it was easily found with an a c h roma ti c te l escope of 2 1 . inches aperture. At 48 minutes 37 seconds after midnight, its right ascen sion was about 5 hours 21 minutes and 37 seconds, and its northern declination was about 5 degrees 34 minutes and 32 seconds ; and it is very near the star a Orionis." INCENDIARY FIRES IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE. -On Wednesday and Thursday last two extensive fires oc curred on farms in the vicinity of Cambridge, and no doubt is entertained that both were the work of incendi aries. The first was at the farm of Mr. Kirby, of Rox worth, and, notwithstanding every exertion that could be used, the barns, outhouses, carts with manure, horses, cows, pigs, &c., were destroyed. The loss exceeds £2,000. Mr. Kirby is insured to the amount of £1,600. The other fire occurred at the farm of Mr. Tyson, of Fen Dutton, whose property, chiefly corn, to the valueof £5,000. was destroyed. It was all insured in the Nor wich Union Office. It is believed that the authors of these diabolical acts will be brought to justice. MILITARY PUNISHMENT.-Monday morning, two pri vates of the Grenadier Guards, John Finnimore and Isaiah Hawkins, underwent corporeal punishment in the Sheet-street Barracks, Windsor. Parade was called as early as half-past seven o'clock A square being formed in front of the guard-room, the prisoners were brought forward by a file of men and placed in the centre. The sentences of the courts-martial held last week were then read by the Adjutant to the following effect :-" That John Finnimore receive 150 lashes, and Isaiah Hawkins receive 120 lashes ;" the former for having struck his sergeant, as he was coming off parade, on the back of the neck with the butt-end of his musket, intending to have struck him on the head. This man's offence was aggra vated by his afterwards having declared that he was sorry he had n o t kill e d t h e sergeant. H awk i ns ' s offence was that of striking his sergeant whilst in a state of drunken ness. Finnimore was the first tied up, and he received his punishment (which occupied about twelve minutes) without uttering a word. Hawkins was then tied up, and he also recived his punishment without flinching. THE MAYOR AND THE MACE OF LEICESTER.-During the Isineen's visit to Belvoir Castle, the seat of the Duke of Rutland, on Tuesday last, Mr. Harris, the Mayor of Leicester, waited on her Majesty to present an address from the town council of that borough. One circumstance attending this ceremony is deserving of remark. The Mayor of Leicester appeared without a mace or any of the u-ual insignia of office. It seems tbtt when the first " reformed" corporation entered upon their duties, one of the earliest acts which their wisdom dictated was to eco nomise in the expenditure of the town by disposing of the mace and the other insignia of office. What made the matter worse is, that this mace was originally the gift of Queen Elizabeth, and, to crown the series of mai apropos incidents, the mace was, when offe ed for sale, bought by the landlady of a small inn, or shop licensed for the sale of liquors and beer. This person, proud of her prize, not unfrequently walks to church with her mace carried be fore her : she is, in short, a sort of quasi mayor on those occasions. It may well be supposed that the Mayor of Leicester must have been placed in no very pleasing situa tion when before Royalty in presenting his address, with the full consciousness upon him that all these peculiar in cideq ere well known to many, however much his sta tion a character entitled him to respect. THE TEA TRADE, DEC. 4.-The deliveries last week fell off to 439,389 lb. We regret that we cannot notice the least improvement in the demand.

MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.-A brutal and deliberate act of murder has been committed in the neighbourhood of Stockport. The murderer is a middle aged man, named George Fox, a bailiff attached to the Stockport Court of Requests, and the victim his wife. The injuries which have caused the unfortunate woman's death were inflicted on Friday night, at the Robin Hood public-house, M'ddle Hillgate. Death resulted about 10 o'clock on the following morning. On this Fox imme diately absconded, but gave himself into the custody of Mr. Sadler, superintendent of the Stockport police, at the house of his father, at Maple-bridge, on Sunday after noon. The deceased was drunk at the time of the mur der, which had so enraged the husband, that he took her round the waist and dashed her head violently against the slop-stone, which immediately became covered with blood. A person present said, " You have killed the woman !" upon which the prisoner said, "If I have not finished her, I will do so.' On being told that it was a great shame to use a woman in that way, and that he would be hanged for it, he replied, he hoped he should be. The mother of the deceased stated, that the prisoner and her daughter bad been married ten years. She was a bonnet-maker. Witness on Friday nightWinnl;i home, and found deceased pressing a bonnet. Prisoner came home about half-past ten, the worse for liquor, and ap peared very fierce. He said, " Thou's been at the Robin Hood this afternoon ;" and she said, " I've not." He said, " Wilt thou swear it?" She said, " I will." He went and fetched a Bible for her to swear it. During this time deceased made her escape out of the house. He said, " She's gone on no good errand ; she's a very drunken woman." He then went to bed, and witness sat up. Prisoner afterwards got up, and said that he would go out too. Other evideiice was given, which left no doubt that the prisoner had caused the death of the de ceased, and the jury at once returned a verdict of " Wilful murder," and the prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next Chester assizes. THE COLLIERS.—On Monday week, the colliers of St. Helen's and the neighbourhood presented their employers a statement of the rates at which they demanded hereafter to be paid. The present rate of wages, we believe, is about 6s. " per work," and it is said the men now demand 10s. " per work ;" but of the correctness of this state- ment we are not, as yet, fully assured. Another demand of the miners is, that they only wo r k fi ve d a y s i n th e week. The coal proprietors of St. Helen's held a meet ing of their body on Thursday last, to take the demands of the men into consideration. Some difference of opin ion was manifested ; but the general opinion seemed to be that the increase demanded is too great, and that it can not possibly be submitted to under present circumstances. The proprietors are of course extremely anxious to pre vent a strike, which, if it should take place, will be gen eral and not local, and must so largely enhance the price of coal as to cause serious inconvenience in all those branches of the manufacturing industry of the country in which coal is largely employed ; 'but at the same time, they are disposed to let the strike take place rather than submit to what they consider an exorbitant demand. The meeting separated without coming to any decision as to the demands of the men •, but another meeting will shortly be held to take the subject into consideration. 'We are informed that the stocks of coal in the St. Helen's district are now so reduced, that were there were 1,000 tons there are not now 10. This is owing to the colliers having for some weeks past systematically carried out the advice of their delegates so as to reduce the daily " get," that the stocks would be entirely exhausted previous to the period at which the general strike, if decided on, would take place. If the men should not lower their demands, which is somewhat unlikely, seeing that they are the result of the deliberations of the delegates of the combined colliers of Great Britain and Ireland, and if the masters, in the present state of the trade, feel th a t th e y . . cannot consent to those demands, the strike must take place ; and as the most vigorous exertions would no doubt be made to procure a supply, however inadequate it might be, of a mineral necessary, not merely for domes tic purposes. but for the continuance of the. manufactur ing operations of the country, the result would be that labourers would be procured from the general market and i ponic yed as drawer and the publi TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS The usual monthly meeting of the Council was held on Wednesday. THE CASE OF SANDS, TURNER, AND CO Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE considered the report of the special committee appointed to enquire into the charges brought against the firm of Messrs. Sands, Turner, and Co., should take the precedence of the ordinary business of the Council, as it involved a question of privilege. This course was then decided upon, and the Mayor having retired, Alderman Nicol took the chair. Mr. SHAND said that, in the absence of the chairman of the committee, (Mr. Bushell,) who had been indefati gable in his atten.dance, but who had unavoidably left home, he begged leave to hand to the Council a copy of the report. The DEPUTY TOWN-CLERK then read the following REPORT "That your committee having met on the 21st ult. and having considered the matter referred to hem, so far as the same appeared from the papers delivered by the late Mayor to his successor, proceeded to ascertain the dues payable in respect of the articles in question in this in quiry. "That, under grant of the Crown of the ctistoms of the water of Mersey, there are payable to the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Livi , rpcol, upon the exportation of dry goods in general, the follow ing dues : - For a case, chest, or bale.. Fora box, or truss " That your committee next proceeded to take the evi dence of Mr. Corrie. the receiver; and, after such evi dence had been taken, your committee, on the 29th ult. came to the determination of offering the perusal thereof to Messrs. Sands and Co. and of giving them the op portunity of making any communication to your com mittee. "That on the Ist instant, your committee received a letter from Thomas Sands, Esq. and Charles Turner, Esq. making the following communication ; " Mr. Turner having read the evidence given by Mr. Corrie before the committee appointed to inquire into the subject of his letter to the late Mayor, of the 6th ult. and having related the import of that evidence to Mr. Sands, we beg to assure you most solemnly, that, in pursuing the practice imputed to us in that letter, we believed that we had acted correctly and uprightly, and we respectfully, but strongly, assert that we did. This assertion, we sub mit, is supported by Mr. Corrie's own testimony, which confirms what we have always understood to be the pre valent impression, that the difference between bales and trusses, and between cases and boxes, cannot be defined by himself, or by any one employed in the town dues de partment, and thei e is no legal definition of such differ ence. " That part of our business, viz. the entry of goods, both for customs and town dues, has been left entirely to our clerks, without any knowledge by either of us of particulars.' " That your committee further report, that, it appear ing upon the evidence of the Receiver, as stated in his letter to the late Mayor of the 6th ult., that between the Ist of January last, and the 3rd ult., 4239 packages of goods were entered with him by Messrs. Sands and Co. thereon ; your committee, on the Ist instant directed the Town-clerk to obtain information how these packages were described in the bills of lading of Messrs• Sands and Co. " That on the day following, the Town-clerk laid be your committee a letter from Messrs. Sands and Co. as follows : " We have no difficulty in answering your inquiry. No other terms have ever been used in our bills of lading for dry goods, but bales for packages in canvass, and cases for packages in wood, without any reference to size, weight or mode of putting up ; it having always been con sidered a mere matter of form. You may, therefore, assume, that all the packages referred to in Mr. Corrie's letter, are described in the bills of lading, as bales or cases.' "That your committee further report, that it appears that Messrs. Sands and Co. have pursued this system, with little variation, since the year 1834. That it ap pears that, in that year, this course of Messrs. Sands and Co. was remonstrated against by the Receiver to their clerk ; but, after that year, it was allowed by that officer to proceed, without any further objection thereto being signified to Messrs. Sands and Co., or any communica tion thereon being made to the Council, or any committee or authority under the council. " That, in the opinion of your committee, this system of Messrs. Sands and Co. so long allowed to be pursued without objection,.will, on investigation, be found to be at variance with the just rights of the Corporation. " That the Receiver, in allowing this system to continue without objection or report until the 6th ultimo, properly acknowledges that he isopen_for censure, " That the Receiver, in at length bringing the subject under consideration, appears to have acted without any personal motive, and not by the inducement, or at the in stigation of any one. r ` That your committee, lastly, report, after mature consideration, and particularly after weighing the want of some declared rule of distinction for preventing doubt in instances of approximation of the box and the case, and the truss and the bale—the omission ever since 1834 of objection on the part to the Receiver—the man ner in which this charge has been met by Messrs. Sands and Co. in the prompt admission of facts and production of papers, and, moreover, the solemn assertion of Mr. Sands and Mr. Turner, that they considered that they were acting correctly, your committee are of opinion that these gentlemen proceeded erroneously, yet they did so without any dishonourable intention. "And your committee recommend that this report, if approved, with the evidence taken, be referred to the Finance Committee, along with a particular instruction, so far as regards the taking into consideration whether some satisfactory rule of distinction in instances of ap proximation of the box and the case, and the truss and the bale, could not be fixed ; which, meeting general ap probation, and erring only (if at all) in favour of trade, could be declared, to prevent the possibility of any fair difference, or any delay to business, or other inconveni ence hereafter. " Town-hall, 4th December, 1843. Mr. SHAND said that at the present moment he was not prepared to offer any observations, but to propose that the report be received and adopted. .Mr TINNE seconded the motion Mr. BLACKBURN expressed his regret that members had not been informed that the subject was coming Mr. NORTH said nobody was more unfeignedly glad at the termination of the matter than he was. Much had been said about the inability to define the difference be tween the various packages about which these charges had arisen. He would only say, that he might not be misunderstood, that he dissented entirely from that ex pression. His opinion was, that every man carried about, in his own breast, a perfect knowledge of the definition. Mr. H. HORNBY thought the report did not do full justice to Mr. Corrie. It was not stated that he had made a representation to the Finance Committee in 1834, and that he was directed by that committee to take no fur ther notice of the matter. It was due to Mr. Corrie that this fact should have been brought prominently forward. Mr. SHAND said that subject was not brought before the committee, but in the examination they found much ground for extenuation in the proceedings of Mr. Corrie, and it was difficult to put the report in a shape to bring it before the Council in a concise form. Mr. H. LAWRENCE agreed entirely with what had fallen from Mr. North. lie did not think there was any difficulty in distinguishing the packages. He went over the docks with a gentleman yesterday, and they had a long examination, and there were only a few packages in the docks that could be considered as doubtful. In his humble idea, he did not think any gentleman was justi fied in entering any package in one name when it was known to be of another. No ignorance on the part of the returning officer was a justification. As the report of the committee confirmed his opinion, he thought there was wrong conduct on the part of Messrs. Sands and Co. If Mr. Sands said he had done wrong—and he (Mr. Law rence) had done wrong many times, and was proud to set himself right again —if he would only say he had erred-- had taken an erroneous view of the case, and would never do so any more, the matter might rest here. Mr. HODGSON thought the report by no means satis factory. It appeared to be a report got up under some circumstances of difficulty, which seemed to have shut the mouths of the committee. They were appointed to make an investigation, and they now came forward in a very lame position, and recommended that the report be sent to another committee, to whom the matter was not referred. After a remark from Mr. Lloyd and Mr. H. Lawrence, Mr. HODGSON asked whether what was stated in the re port to have been a communication from Messrs. Sands, Turner, and Co., was the whole of the commnnication. (" It is not.") He would ask, then, why part of that letter was suppressed ? It would be seen that Messrs. Sands, Turner, and Co. had manifested the utmost desire to meet the question fairly, openly, and honestly, and he thought the party accused, even though acquitted, should not be half acquitted. The remainder of the letter cor roborated the whole, was highly important, and ought to have been given. Mr. LLOYD said that what was in the latter part of the letter was not to the point. Mr. HODGSON, who held a copy of the letter in his hand, and was about to read, after a few minutes' consul tation with Mr. Alderman Crook said, that if the com mittee felt there was besides that, other evidence unde sirable to go into, he would not press it. Mr. EDWARDS suggested that the evidence be printed. Mr. ATKIN would beg to suggest, as a matter of dis creetness, that each member of the council, who was de sirous of reading the report should do so, and if, after having read it, they were desirous of having it printed, then there could be no objection. Mr. H. LAWRENCE wished that all the documentary evidence produced before the committee should be open for the inspection of the council. Mr. Aiiiirr would say that Mr. Hodgson had not made a very discreet speech —one at all calculated to do good to the friends whose cause he advocated, nor to the trust which it was his bounden duty to protect. Mr. Corrie's duties were in doors. All he had to do was to see that the note presented to him corresponded with the Customs' entry, and, if so, he was bound to receive the dues. It was ridiculous to say there was no distinction between a bale and a truss. There were instances when the shading between the difference was so small that it was difficult to tell, but to say that a bale measuring 100 feet v or a bale measuring two trusses was try to the general understanding and ' ' • -' • - :city of ti IFFITII was in favour of having the evi of the cou )uld withth: -. aw it HOLMES did not tt uk the distinct vas 1 m oogCt It was actually a conundrum.

He hoped they would be mindf ul v e rcis° North's suggestion, and that they would call into . b oo this court of conscience, of which, he would hope, all other men, the merchants were not devoid.. too IS Mr. BIRKETT said the report was not so satistae re he could have wished it.
