She did not pretend to say that be had ever promised to pay before. Nothing was said about her returning into his service. Mrs. Conolly did not say upon what pretence Mr. Morinaud wanted to take the girl away. Witness did not hear the word " France" used. Mrs. Connolly did not pretend to know who was the father of Mar garet's child; but there was some talk of Mr. Morinaud be ing so.

Re-examined by Mr. VEN ABLUS.—Then I understand Mrs. Morinaud was perfectly cognisant of the situation of this girl ?—Perfectly. Did she ever express in was the father Of the chi doubted it very much indee With these witnesses the defendant's case closed.—Mr MURPHY in his reply commented strongly upon Mrs. Mori naud's name having been introduced, observing that it would have been better for the defendant's respectability if he had not instructed his learned friend to mention it ; also upon the attempt to blacken the character of the plaintiff and her daughter; and on the statement made by the counsel for the defendant that he should prove the defendant was not the father of Margaret Tipton 's child, by naming the man who had seduced her. They gave me a picions that Mr. Morinaud No ; on the contrary, she The ASSESSOR in summing up, told the jury that the only question for their consideration was not whether the defendant was the father of the child or not, but whether the charges of the plaintiff for the board and attendance of Margaret Tipton were incurred upon his credit. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff: damages £l9 10s. SATURDAY Ma. M'CREA'S CASSON AND ANOTHER, EXECUTORS, V. M'CREA. This was an action in a common pleas record to recover the sum of £l9 l? s. 9d. from the defendant. Mr. JAMES appeared for tt fendant iffs, and Mr. VENABLES for the de- Mr. JAMES said the plaintiffs in this case were Thomas Casson and Ebenezer —, executors of the will of Thomas Pearson, deceased, and the defendant was the Rev. John Benjamin M'Crea. The action was in debt for goods sold and delivered by the testator in his life time, and upon an account stated ; the defendant pleaded by denying that he was ever liable to pay. The late Mr. Pearson was a timber merchantond the Rev. Mr. M'Crea was a gentleman who, having come from the sister country where he had obtained considerable eminence in his profession, settled at Waterloo, near this town, where he acquired to himself a considerable number of friends. There being no chapel belonging to the defendant's persuasion (what it was, whether Independent or not he could not say, for he did not know), in that place, he thought it would be advisable, for the interests of the community, that one should be erected. lie accordingly set about this object in good earnest, and he obtained from among his friends subscriptions to a considerable amount for the purpose of building a chapel. In the course of last year a chapel was erected. After it was erected, the defendant made arrangements with Mr. Waddington fur the land; and UP,'" the lOth Julr nresent up on liols the chapel was erected, was signed over to Mr. M'Crea for the term of 500 years. Mr. AP Crea since that time had been in legal possession of the chapel, and of the land upon which it was built. The action was brought to recover £l9 Os. 9d, the amount of timber supplied by the late Mr. Pearson in his life time for the purpose of being placed in the roof of this chapel. Mr. M'Crea, in the most unac countable way, for he (the learned counsel) could assign no reason for it, nor could he imagine what the defence would be, had hitherto refused to pay for that timber. According to his (the learned counsel's) instructions the reverend gen tleman had paid other people who had supplied not only labour, but materials in the erection, yet he refused to nay his clients, the executioners of the late Mr. Pearson. That the timber had been supplied there could be no doubt. He was instructed to say, he should be able to prove this fact in the clearest possible way, for he should call before the jury the very parties who had conveyed the timber from Mr. Pear son's yard to the chapel of Mr. M'Crea, the joiner who had unloaded it, and placed it, by the direction of Mr. M'Crea, in the roof of the chapel, and when he had done that, there could be no doubt whatever of its having been supplied. What Mr. M'Crea could say to this he (the learned counsel) was at a loss to conceive. He should prove that Mr. M'Crea was in possession of the chapel, and that he was the party who had obtained, and would obtain, every possible benefit that could be derived from the use of the chapel, he being the legal owner of it, having it under his own sole and proper control ; therefore he was the party to be benefitted by the use of this timber. But he (the learned counsel) should go further than that. He should show that Mr. M'Crea had been the party who had paid the workmen, who had paid other persons for supplying other materials to erect the chapel, and when that was done he should be justified in calling upon the jury to give hint a verdict, unless his friend should set up a defence (which he did not at all anticipate) that would satisfy them Mr. .M`Crea was not liable. Having produced his evidence, he should leave the matter in the hands of the jury, subject of course, to any remarks that his learned friend might think proper to make. John Clifton, a carter, was the first witness called. Mr. Al`Crea's chapel was erected during the course of last year. Sometime during the winter, witness who was in the service of Mr. Brining, was se n t by hi s master to M r. P earson ' s yard in James -street, for a cart load of timber, which he brought home to his master's house, in Waterloo. Witness bad borrowed a cart for the purpose. The timber was left in the cart all night, outside the gates. Could not recollect whether he asked at Mr. Pearson's yard for timber for the chapel. The timber was removed the next morning, but not by witness. Cross-examined.—Could not tell in what month he fetched the timber. Re-examined.—Believes he fetched it during last winter The cart was borrowed from John Bradley. James 'Wright, a carter in the employment of John Brad ley, proved that in the last winter his master's cart was lent to the last witness to fetch a load of timber. The next morn ing the cart being wanted, witness went to Brining's for it, and found it outside the gate. He took the timber to Mr. M'Crea's chapel, and William Webster, a joiner, who was working there helped him to unload it. Mr. VENABLES cross-examined the witness as to the time that this happened, t William Webster, nytl►ing material )iner, of Wa id he was em- He went there in the month of April, last year, and remained till July, in the present year—all the time. Ile recollected the last witness Wright bringing a load of timber to the chapel; it was about the 15th or 16th of October, 1840. It was the only occasion that witness was aware of, of his bring ing timber. Wit ness h e lped hi m t o un l oa d it. Th e ti m b er was put into the roof. The witness then described the se veral pieces of timber, and was asked some questions as to the value of them ; but it is immaterial to give his testi mony on these points. Witness helped to unload a second load of timber which came from Mr. Pearson's, on the rth f i.... October. The whole of this load was . used in the ceiline The defend an t generally paid his wages after April. Th'e . defendant came to the chapel whilst witness was engaged in putting the timber into the roof ; sometimes he came two or three times a day, and some ti mes h e did no t come f or a d ay He together. never gave any particular directions. Mr. M'Crea paid witness his wages during the whole time he was engaged in fitting the timber in the roof ; and witness had oftener than once heard him say the chapel was his own. Remembered fetching c umber from John Padlev and others at different timesNfie,errheae use of the chapel ; had always the directions of Mr. togiven do so, who had given him money to pay for it. lie ha dwitness money more than once to pay for the timber at Charles given him money upon severalesPadleY's : and he had also things. occasions to pay for other Cross-examined—Witness wasivaivjoill‘rineyman working upon his own account at this time.

There was a subscription raised to build th e e a e yments Heath was the treasurer. Witness had received from Mr. Heath, who gave orders during the time th was building. Witness had seen him pay workmen three h times, but had never s een him pay for timber . Ili work men men he paid were witness himself and another who took a job from him to make some pews. Mr. Heath did not give orders for the replacing of the roof in witness's hearing,-nm. did be ever him say lie was going to replace it. Mr. H eath came sometimes when the roof was being replaced, and said it would be a far better roof than it was before, and he gave some directions concerning it, but witness does not remem ber what. Mr. M'Crea gal , e no particular orders or directions about it, hut he used to say it would be a good thing when it was done. Witness had been paid for his work in replac ing the roof; not by Mr. Heath but by Nr. M'Crea. Mr. M'Crea paid him for all the work that was done with the two loads of timber from Pearson's. Swears this positively. Re-examined.—Witness does not know whether the pews, for which Mr. Heath paid him, were erec ted for himself; bu t he supposes they were for anybody who would take them. The transaction as to the pews took place about last June but one (1840). Charles Thistleton, examined by Mr. James, said he was in the employment of Mr. Pearson during his lifetime, and he remembered ma ki ng out an d sen di ng by post to the de fendant in December, 1£440, an invoice for some timber. It was addressed to "The Rev. J. B. M'Crea, Wutedoo Ter. Witi - 7, - e;,;,: wlai:e. iti, the directions of Mr. Pcurioi, seAt it Cross,.examinpd :---Witness was in the employment of Mr. Pearson in October, 1810. Mr. Pearson died on the 25th of August in the present year. Witness knew Mr. Heath by sight. Does not know who ordered the timber ; it was given to Mr. Pearson, and from Mr. Pearson to witness. Does not know that Mr. Heath ordered it, nor did he ever hear Mr. Pearson say that he had. Saw Mr. Heath in the yard a day or two before the first load went away talking with Mr. Pearson ; he was not in the counting-house. Never saw Mr. M'Crea there. Believed that Mr. Heath had been applied to for payment for the timber. Mr. Thistleton, the plaintiff's attorney, was brother to witness ; he did not tell witness of Mr. Heath being applied to, but the late Mr. Pearson did. Re •examined :—Mr. Heath was a joiner and builder. Had transactions previously to this with Mr. Pearson, but not in the name of Mr. M'Crea. The timber sent corresponded with that described in the invoice. The invoice was then put in and read ; jt was as follows Liverpool, 23d Dec., 1840. " Rev. J. B. Crea, per Robert Heath. " To Thomas Pearson, Dr. " Timber (detailing the particulars) £l9 Os. 9d. " SlR,—ilerewith I hand you invoice of timber, and by instructions I beg to state, that unless the amount is remitted by return of post, I shall take proceedings against you. " Waiting your answer, I am, sir, " Yours respectfully, " P. P. Thomas Pearson, " CHARLES THISTLETON." John Deane, who was the next witness, said he was a plasterer residing at Waterloo. He did the plastering at Mr. Crea's chapel, and Mr. M'Crea paid him for it. Some slates were once blown off the roof, and witness replaced them at the request of Mr. Crea who paid him. He paid witness partly in cash, and gave him his acceptance for the re mainder. Witness had beard Mr. M'Crea say the chapel was his, and thnt he had received money from different people to enable him to build it. The Witness was cross-examined, but his testimony was not at all shaken. William Wall, plumber and glazier, of Waterloo, said he was employed by Mr. Isil`Crea to execute part of the plumb ing and glazing at his chapel. Mr. M'Crea did not refuse in the first instance to pay : he paid part of the amount in money afterwards, and the remainder through witness's attorney. Was obliged to give directions to his attorney to apply to Mr. M•Crea for payment; and his attorney afterwards paid him the money so obtained from Mr. Nl`Crea. Cross-examined.—Mr. Heath gave no directions to wit ness. Mr. M'Crea gave him directions. Witness was after wards employed to put stronger glass into the roof, and Mr. M'Crea gave him directions for that. John Padley, timber-merchant, of Waterloo, was next called. Mr. M'Crea had called upon him for the purpose of ordering timber for his chapel ; and he had ordered small portions at different times. 'W hen he first called upon wit ness, Mr. M'Crea told him he would pay witness when the timber was delivered, but he did not wish it to be booked to him, observing that he did not desire to have his name mixed up with secular matters. He paid witneJs for the timber so supplied in the course of the week it was delivered. After wards he let the account run for two or three weeks, and as he did not call to pay witness booked it to him. He had since paid witness the amount of his account except a few shillings. Mr. M'Crea asked witness about strengthening the roof of the chapel, and asked him to do the job ; but witness declined. Mr. \EN ABLES cross-examined the witness, but without eliciting anything, except that neither Mr. Heath nor Mr. Waddington had given any orders to witness concerning the chapel. Mr. JAMES then called for the lease of the land on which the chapel was built, observing that he had given the other side notice to produce it. _ _ . Mr. VENABLES.—I have no lease here. The ASSESSOLL—You must first prove they have it, Mr. JAMES.—Then, that is my ease, sir. Mr. VENABLES then addressed the court and jury on the part of the defendant. The plaintiff's counsel said this was the case, yet he had not ventured to call either Mr. Wadding ton or Mr. Heath, who could have given the jury the whole history of this transaction, especially as to whom credit was given for the timber. He had a right to make strong obser vations upon the fact that Mr. Heath was not called, because his evidence instead of involving the case in mystery, would have rendered it perfectly clear. He (thelearned counsel) had no right to say that Mr. Heath instructed or paid the attorney who had brought this action, but he was not called to show what part he took in this transaction, whether as princip a l, agent, or otherwise; and he (Mr. 'enables) had always found that when material evidence was withheld, suspicion was cast upon the party who withheld it. It was the bounden duty of the plaintiff to present to the jury every witness who could make out the material facts of the case. It was not sufficient for him to leave his case involved in mystery, or in a state liable to induce the jury to draw their inferences from part of the facts ; but they might have the whole if Mr. Heath was put into the box, for he would be bound to admit that it was upon his credit alone that the timber was sup plied. Mr. M'Crea was a gentleman of eloquence and character, and though not strictly belonging to the protestant church he was attached to a sect which was highly honoured, whose doctrines were pure, and therefore entitled to respect and admiration. He was a man of consummate eloquence, who could captivate the attention of his congregation in an extraordinary degree, and they would leave the chapel much edified by the doctrines there promulgated by him. Although he did not belong to the Church of England yet we were bound to respect a man whether he differed from ourselves or not on religious topics who did good in his station ; the jury, therefore, would give their best consideration to the observations to be made in his behalf. Mr. M'Crea belonged to the Scotch Secession Church, the same denomination as the respected Dr. Ralph of this town, their doctrines were the same, and they were as pure as those preached by the clergy of the Church of England. In the summer of 1829 Mr. M'Crea visited Waterloo for the purpose of reno vating his health. He there engaged a room for the pur pose of administering divine worship, and his congre gation were so delighted with him, Mr. Heath among the number, that they entered into a subscription to build him a chapel, Now experience would tell the jury that it was very common for a minister to speak of a chapel as being his own, without meaning more than he had a life in terest in it. Mr. M'Crea had been very active in the per formance of his duties since May, 1840, therefore, strictly speaking, he was inducted into the chapel, and no person could eject him. He might keep it during the period of his natural life, if the life was not extended beyond the term for which the lease was granted, and no human being could eject him. Stripping the case, however, of all the extraneous matter w;th is had been clothed, the single point for the atten tion of the jury, was, upon whose credit were the loads of timber furnished. The learned counsel then contended at some length that Mr. Heath was the roan upon whose credit the timber had be,-a,supplied, from these facts—first, that he was at Mr. Pearson's yard, and in conversation with him within a day or two of its being delivered ; secondly, that Mr. Pearson had applied to him in the first instance for payment, and lastly, that he had taken very great interest in the manage ment of this case. The ASSESSOR, in summing up, told the jury they must look at all the circumstances of the case, and from them say whether Mr. M'Crea had so conducted himself as to have allowed credit to be given to him for these goods ; and before they found for the plaintiffs, they must be satisfied that the goods were supplied upon his credit. The learned assessor then went minutely through the evidence, pointing out the parts most important for the consideration of the jury. The jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiffs, damages £l9 Os. 9d. The business of the court terminated about 12 o'clock on Saturday. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING.

" The committee have no doubt, however, as the advantage expected have not only not been realised, but that increased expense and positive disadvantage have been the result, that by renewed exertion these mails may again be restored to their former and natural channel through Liverpool. " That strongly impressed with the necessity of improve ment and of affording every facility to passengers consistent with the safety of the navigation, as the only sure means of securing for Liverpool the desired preference, the committee have had considerable discussion and consultation with the dock surveyor, the marine surveyor, the harbour master, and the corporation surveyor, and with other parties of practical knowledge, and have maturely considered various plans to accomplish the object ; among others, the committee beg to call the attention of the council to one of a permanent stone projecting pier at the Prince's-parade, together with sections of the banks along the whole of the river walls, prepared by Mr. Hartley, the dock surveyor, which have been of much use to the committee, and will become hereafter of great value ; but taking into consideration the impediment such a projection must have to the navigation, and the effect it might have upon the river itself, and further in the expectation of a material change being effected on the banks by the completion of the continuous line of wall about to be formed by the new dock, and the probability that a permanent pier may then he more advantageously placed, the committee deemed it ad visable to postpone each erection for the present, and in structed the surveyor (Mr. Franklin) to prepare a plan of a sliding scale from the Seacombe slip, which, though only temporary, will be effectual in furnishing the means of land ing and shipping carriages, &c., at all times of the tide, with out the use of small boats. " The committee beg to refer to the plan of the said stage, and to the surveyor's report thereon, and to recommend it for adoption by the council. " The committee also recommend another and more suit able barge to be substituted for the Boydell off George's Pier, and that arrangements be made so that passengers may land by one stage and embark by another ; and, further with a view of relieving the occasional great pressure' of so many steamers resorting to that pier, the committee recommend that the Runcorn packets, and steamers with passengers on excursions to the mouth of the river, shall be required to take on board and disembark their passengers on the pier called the New Wall, to the west of No. 2 and 3 Graving Docks, where they have water to go alongside at halt flood and half ebb, the usual periods of their departure and return. With a view to carry out these recommendations, and for the prevention of accident, the committee suggest the propriety of directing the town-clerk to revise and to improve the bye laws affecting the landing-places and ferry boats." THE VACANT ALDERMANSHIP, The MAYOR said the last subject on the paper was to ap point a fit person, either from the councillors or from the persons qualified to be councillors, to fill the vacancy in the office of alderman, caused by the resignation of Mr. Alder man Harvey with payment of the fine. Mr. HENRY LAWRENCE begged to propose Mr. William Nicholl, of Abercromby-square, for the office. He was satisfied that Mr. Nicholl would do credit to the council. ( H ear.) - - Mr. SANDS (we believe) seconded the proposition. Mr. EVANS moved as an amendment that Mr. Robert Ellison Harvey be the alderman. Mr. J. HORNBY seconded the motion The election was carried by means of voting papers, each member writing on a slip the name of the gentleman whom he supported, and handing it to the town-clerk. When the slips had all been filled, the numbers were stated to be as follow : For Hr. Harvey For Mr. Nicholl Majority for Mr. Harvey Mr. Harveywas'accordingly duly elected. The following are the names of the gentlemen who voted in the division : For Mr, Harvey—Councillors J. Holmes, Thornhill, H. Holmes, Mellor, Walinsley, Aikin. Woo'fright, Bright, Priestley, H.

Lawrence, Wood, Birkett, Gladstone, Bushel, Procter, Rigby, Kilshaw, Parker, R. Jones, jun., Leigh, J. Smith, G. H. Lawrence, A. Smith, jun. and Harbord. VOTE OF THANKS TO THE MAYOR. Mr. BLACKBURN begged to claim attention for a few mo ments while he addressed himself to the council and not the chair. He bad to propose a vote of thanks to the mayor, as the present was the last public appearance previous to the election. He believed that the members could not do less than present their thanks to him for the way in which he had presided over and conducted the business of the council dur ing the year he had been in office. For his own part, he could sure the members would all say that he had gone through the duties of that office in a way highly honourable to the town and highly 'l,,,npurable to himself. Ile begged, therefore, to propose a vote of thanks to him. Mr. JAMES HORNBY said he could not add a word to what had been so well and truly said by Mr. Blackburn, but begged most sincerely to second the proposition. Mr. ISAAC HOLMES was willing to admit that every one who undertook the duties of the office of chief magistrate and discharged them satiafactOrily was deServing of a vote of thanks. But he could not forget that he had been on two or three occasions interrupted by the mayor, when he conceived such interruption uncalled for and unnecessary. (Hear.) Neither could he forget that he had been present in the revisinz, court a few days before when Mr. Pin's name was called. That gentleman, independent of the responsible situation he filled in connexion with the St. George's Com 7 pany, had, it appeared, - paid his taxes: and yet the decision of the mayor was, that unless he appeared in the court lie must be struck off the list ; and struck off he was accord ingly. (Hear.) He (Mr. Holmes) considered that there was a sort of partiality exhibited by the mayor on that occa sion. He could not, therefore, join in the vote of thanks which had been proposed, and he hoped that whoe wer might • occupy the chair in future would not improperly interrupt any individual in the council. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HODGSON said he rose with great pain on that occa sion because he wished to pay honour to the chair, and al ways to render honour to whom honour was due. He had endeavoured to do so on every occasion ; but, in giving honour, there was a duty due to himself as well as to those with whom he was connected, and in the discharge of that duty it was painful to him to differ from the sentiments of those who had expressed themselves in favour of the past 'conduct of the chair. (Hear.) Personally he would take no exception to what had sometimes taken place in the council, because he cared not for the intvruptions to which, occasion ally, he had been subjected ; but he thought, for the honour of the gentlemen with whom he acted, for the spirit of truth, and for the maintenance of that dignity which ought to be long to the council, that he should be guilty of a dereliction of duty and a want of moral courage if he did not stand up and say that the language which had been offered to him by the mayor at the last meeting of the council ought never to come from the chair—(hear) —and that it was most unpro voked by anything which had fallen from his lips. (Hear, .hear.) He challenged any gentleman to point a word which had fallen from him that was calculated to call forth such an observation as had then been used by the mayor. (Cheers.) He rep-eat-edit that it was uncalled-for from the chair—that it was unbecoming as between gentlemen, and that it was such language as in private society could not be used. (Re: newed cheers.) Mr. JORDAN rose to order. (Laughter.) If he was out of order he would bow to the chair; but he felt bound to say that the language complained of had been apologised for by the mayor. The MAYOR requested Mr. Alderman Hornby to take the chair as the present was a personal matter in which he could not interfere. The Mayor accordingly vacated the chair, and Alderman Hornby took it immediately. Mr. HODGSON proceeded to say that the language made use of by the mayor on the occasion was such as could not take place between gentlemen a second time in private so ciety. He was not accustomed to hear such observations elsewhere. At the same time he should be very far indeed from offering a vote of censure on the mayor ; but as the question had been mooted he felt constrained to tell him what was not merely his own opinion of his conduct but the com monly-expressed opinion of the public out of doors—(hear, hear)—and he felt that he should be guilty of a dereliction of that which was due to himself, as well as to the council, if he had not the moral courage then to express it. He would offer no opposition to the course which was being pursued further than retiring from the council when Mr. Blackburn's motion was about to be put from the chair. (Cheers.) Mr. EVANS rose, but _ _ Mr. HODGSON continued to say that he had recently felt extreme disgust at seeing the mayor preside at a party meet ing. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PLATT said that, after Mr. Hodgson had made vari ous remarks at the last council in a most uncharitable way, he concluded by saying that he would always express his sen timents in that council in spite of the mayor. Mr. HODGSON—That was afterwards. (Hear.) Mr. PLATT believed it was previous—before the mayor had made the remark which called forth Mr. Hodgson's ire. He (Mr. Platt) was very near saying at the time that, before the mayor recalled his expressions, Mr. Hodgson ought to have been called upon to retract his observations. Mr. HARBORD said he should not take up the time of the council on the subject then introduced, but that they were placed in a very peculiar position, and called upon to express their sentiments. (Hear.) He could not forget what had been expressed by the mayor towards the party to which he had the honour to belong. He could not forget that the mayor upon that occasion gave expression to unbecoming language towards himself, because, when he retracted, he said he did not mean it to apply to Mr. Hodgson, but to others. (Hear, hear.) Now, what had he (Mr. H.) said? He had simply asked a question. He had not condemned or reproached any one. And yet the mayor had the audacity to say that his words were intended to apply to others who had spoken prior to Mr. Hodgson! (Hear, nd cheers.) He was the person who had spoken prior. But, further than this, some of the constituents whom he represented, and who had been present at the anti-corn-law meeting lately held in the Amphitheatre, requested him to state that the mayor had no right upon that occasion to show partiality, and that he ought to have given an opportunity to every one to express their sentiments pro or con. But instead of pursuing such a course he had acted on quite an opposite principle. It might be an error of judgement upon his part, or he might have been under an impression that he was called upon to preside over a particular party, but whatever was the cause it ought to be explained; for he should have been no partisan, and he should have given protection and liberty to all who wished to express their sentiments. (Hear, hear.) He, for his part, as one of the representatives of North Toxteth Ward, wished to say that some of his constituents felt aggrieved at not having been allowed to express their sentiments, and that some sort of apology was expected from the mayor. (Hear.) Mr. EVANS said the council on the present occasion should not forget that the mayor was under their protection. Gentle men were in the habit of calling for his protection ; but the case was then reversed, and every honourable and laudable feeling on the part of the council were strongly appealed to to do justice to their estimable mayor. (Hear.) He had heard a gentleman speaking of moral courage, but in his opinion that gentleman was decorating one of the worst feel ings of human nature with a very exalted title. If they could get at the bottom of the feeling which had prompted his speech against the mayor, they should give it a different epithet from that of moral courage. There was no morality about it, neither was there any charity. (Hear.) There had been, moreover, a violation of all the received compacts of human life, that when a hasty expression escaped any of them, and that it was withdrawn, it was never to be mentioned again. _ _ _ _ Mr. HARIiORD.—It is not withdrawn in this case. (Hear, hear.) Mr. EVANS proceeded to say that the pursuance of such a course was calculated to subvert the principles of peace and amity on earth ; but this was a principle which formed no rule of Mr. Hodgson's conduct. The whole tenor of that gentleman's conduct, so far as he (Mr. Evans) saw, had been to set man against man in this world, and to produce dissen sion and bad feeling. Leaving out the meaning of his words, there had been a wicked eloquence in the tone of his voice which was exciting and provoking. He (Mr. Evans) should be glad to know—he would not say on charity—but on what principles of justice they could deny the mayor a vote of thanks for his conduct for the past twelve months? Was it because of his having, with the aid of the assessors, given a decision in the registration court which had not been ques tioned by much higher authority than any in the council, and, on the other hand, because an expression, which he (Mr. Evans) could make very great allowance for, but which he could not justify the mayor altogether in, had escaped him ? Was it because he had been guilt y o f t wo suc h insig nificant instances, for one of which he had promptly com pounded, that they were to deny an act of justice and cour tesy to the mayor? If they were all to escape out of this life with having committed no greater transactions than these two matters, they would be considered rather above human nature than below it—they should be something very nearly perfect. He felt that the mayor's conduct had been correct, that it had been temperate, that it had been moderate, and that it had been influenced altogethe r b y a f ee li ng o f just i ce and a determination to do justice. (Hear.) Mr. ROBINSON thought the conservatives justified in dif— fering from the vote of thanks. He spoke the sentiments of thirty in the council when he said they could not cordially and generally unite in a vote of thanks. Hear. Mr. TOULMIN said he could not feel justified in leaving the room without expressing his decided conviction of the mayor's gross partiality througho u t hi s year of office. (Hear.) Mr. BIRKETT said it was with pa i n he differed from t h e expression of a vote of thanks to th e mayor, b ecause what ever differences of opinion he might have with any gentlemen lie never intended to act towards him in a personal manner. He felt, however, that the conduct of the . mayor on many occasions had been grossly partial. (Hear, hear.) He was sorry to say so, but he felt th at if lie were ' to give his vote in favour of the motion he should be confounding right and wrong. He begged to recall the attention of the council to the manner in which the mayor had treated himself'. (Hear.) He had all along been reso l ved, no matter w h at his feelings might be, to submit to the decision of the chair. On the first occasion upon which he had ever addressed the council the mayor allowed the late Mr. Currie to speak three times. The subject was that of the schools. He (Mr. B.) intended to have divided the council and to have stated his reasons for not agreeing to any gentleman being elected on the committee on the principle which the mayor stated — namely, that the school was to be conducted as theretofore ; but the mayor told him that he was out of order, and he sat down. (Hear.) On another occasion when he made an amendment on the Finance Committee proceedings, the mayor stated that he was again out of order. (Hear.) Previous to his having spoken, lie consulted the town-clerk, and ascertained from that gentleman that his notice was in order. The mayor said otherwise, and treated him very un handsomely. On another occasion a statement was made in the council relative to the dock bill, which he thought it right to answer conceiving that the settlement of that bill had been on Lord Sandon's recommendation ; but he had scarcely got up when the mayor contradicted him the most rude manner, and stated wh a t was anythin but the fact respecting the ori gin of the bill. He (Mr. which was unbecoming either to himself or the council, but he certainly desired to use the strongest terms towards the mayor which the counc il would perm i t , f o r at the time he was a young member, and felt hurt. (Hear.) He asked two of his friends to accompany him to the noble lord (Sandon) and in their presence read the sentiments of the mayor to him, as they appeared in the pages of a radical journal, and he then asked wheth er th e mayor or hi m self was right; and he had his lordship's authority for saying that he had been stating what was true, and that, w h en he was contradicted by the mayor, the contradiction was anything but true. On another occasion Mr. Gladstone made a statement relative to Mr. Blackburn. Mr. Blackburn replied, and closed his speech by charging Mr. Gladstone with malice prepense." (Hear.) The words had been reported in italics. From that day to the present he (Mr. B.) had never heard the mayor call on Mr. Blackburn to unsay what he did, or to make an apology to Mr. Gladstone. (Hear, hear.) •n a late occasion language had been used by Mr. Sheil stronger than he had ever heard in the council, and the m s ay o o k r e all a o f w te e r d it. (Hear, hear.) The only gentleman wards was Mr. Hodgson. In the first instance Mr. Mr. Har- - bord asked a question ; but the mayor named Mr. Hodgson, and applied ter ms to hi m w hich could not .'o satisfied was be iconsidered other than e x t reme ly i m p ro p er . (Cheers•) S _ y _ Mr. Henry L awrence w i t h th e i r impropriety, that he imme diately asked th e ma y or w h y h e h a d used such language , but the mayor had no t ma d e any apology. if he had done so, he (Mr. B.) would be th e l ast man to get up and refer, to the circumstance, becau se it wou ld b e unhandsome so to do. The words of the mayo r mere l y wer e, that it he had said so and so, they were not applied to Mr. Ho d g son, but to the speakers generally." (Loud cries of " He ar, hear, hear.") On another occasion, at the close of a debate, Sir Joshua h im (Mr. B.) . and Walmsley made a statement regarding Mr. Holmes. lie conceived that it was not common . fairness question, when . be . in Sir Joshua to make the statement in q had no opportunity of replying, and that was not fair of the mayor to interrupt hi m w h en h e wa s going to prove that it was anything but the fact. (Hear.) In his opinion the ma y o r ought to have all owe d hi m to pr oceed ; but the con trary had been the c ase . F or t h ese r easons he could not conscientiously agree to the vote of thanks, because, if . he were, be should be confoundi ng r i g ht and wrong. For him. self. he would state fearlessly, that he had on all occasions, in that room as well as out of it, paid the mayor that respect which he considered due to his office, and that whatever the conduct of the mayor might h ave b een towards him, nothing Otarlitt9. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 26, The discouraging prospects of the farmers for some time past, occasioned by the heavy rains prevalent, with slight intermissions, during the greater part of the pr esen t mon th, have been relieved by a favourable change in the weather since our report of Tuesday last, affording hopes of their being able shortly to commence sowing Wheat, which hitherto, from the exceedingly wet state of the soil, has been wholly impracticable in this district ; meanwhile every possible effort is being used in order to save the remainder of the potatoes, which, in many situations, but more especially in the low lands recently under water, are found to have been seriously damaged : of this important article of food, however, and of the corn crops around us, the latter having been nearly all secured in September and the first week of this month, a more accurate opinion may, ere long, be formed. We may, nevertheless, observe, that although extremely varied, and in most cases deficient, the bulk of the new Wheat already brought in by the neighbouring growers proves better in both quality and condition than is described by our advices from many other parts of the kingdom. The duties for the ensuing week are increased on Foreign Wheat to 245. Bd., on Barley to 10s. 10d., on Rye to 145., on Beans and Pease to Bs. per quarter, on Flour to 14s. 10d. per barrel ; those on Foreign Oats and on all British Colo nial produce remaining unaltered. _ In consequence of - adverse winds, we are very scantily supplied with Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, coastwise and from Ireland; and from abroad we have none fresh up'for to-day. `Without apparent briskness in any branch of the Corn trade here from Tuesday's market until to-day, we have little business to notice during that time beyond occasional sales of the leading articles upon a limited scale, for immedi ate purposes ; but the sellers continuing to evince unabated confidence, the general quotations of our last circular re mained steady. _ _ Upon a very slender attendance of country buyers at our Corn Exchange this morning, the absence of speculative in quiry, and our local millers taking merely sufficient to serve their present wants ; the transactions in foreign Wheat were only moderate, whilst of English we had scarcely any sam ples offering, and the general runs of Irish were difficult of sale : all descriptions of this Grain, however, continued to support the late value, the holders steadily refusing to submit to lower terms.—Engish, Irish, and foreign Flour ruled nearly the same in all respects as last noted. In Barley, Malt, and Beans, no change was apparent.— Pease, being more saleable, were again Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. Old Oats, being scarce, and wanted for provender, rather exceeded the advanced rates of Tuesday ; but in any kind of New there was no improvement.—Oatmeal, although in li mited request, fully maintained former prices. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 0cT..29. Another dull and tame day in our Cotton-market, the sales not exceeding 2,500 to 3,000 bales, barely at yesterday's prices. —The weekly sales amount to 22,910 bales, of which 1750 are to speculators, and 600 to exporters. Prices on the whole scarcely as high as this day week, and we close heavily. COTTON MARKET, N _OVEMBER we have no new feature in our Cotton market, it is tame, insipid and dull, as it possibly can be. yet prices remain firm and steady, without any d ec li ne ; th e quan tity sold on Saturday was 3000 bales , and to-day 3300, all to the day. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The Trade has bought sparingly throughout the week ; and, as the quantity offering has been considerable,. prices of America n have given way id per lb, at which reduction the market closed rather dull than otherwise. Brazil and Egyptian without material change, but almost nominal at the quotations. Speculators have taken almost 1600 American and 110 . Surat, and Exp orters 600 Surat. XOO Surat are announced for public sale on Frid ay next 1 6 0 American have been forwarded unsold into the country this month. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, OCT. 29. Sugar. There continues a steady demand, with a moderate supply, and 200 'Aids. B. P. sold at higher prices. 4700 bags Bengal have been taken at 72s for good to very fine white, and in proportion for other descriptions, and 1500 mats Mauritius at the quotations. Foreign.—The only transaction in these descriptions is a public sale of 1100 bags of low Manilla, which were taken partly by the Re finers, and partly for export, at lOs Gd for low damp, to 14s 6d: for middling brown. The sales of Molasses this week are confined to 200 puns., chiefly Trinidad ;at 25s 6d per cwt. Coffee.—The transac tions in Plantation have been limited to about 30 casks of Jamaica, at steady rates. 20 frazils Mocoa brought 100 s per cwt. Nothing done in Foreign. 150 bags Brazil Cocoa sold at a price not named, 200 pockets Malabar Ginger at 15s per cwt., and a small lot of black Pepper at Sid per lb. Rice has been more inquired, for, and 160 a bags Bengal sold at 12s Gd to 13s 6d, 200 bags Egyptian at los, and 20 tces. Carolina at 36s per cwt. There are no sales worthy of notice in Rum. Tea.—The demand has continued good, and a fair business has been done at last week's quotations. Some trifling parcels of Indigo have been sold, without change. On Wednesday last 400 chests of Shell Lac were offered, but the demand being so moderate, only 100 sold, at 34s to 52r per ewt., with 300 pockets Bengal Turmeric at 253 6d, some small lots of Arabic and Lac Dye at steady rates, and 280 baskets of Terra Japonica at 16s to I7s per cwt., duty paid. In Saltpetre the transactions are 400 bags, at 29s 6d for very good quality, and of Nitrate of Soda ;00 bags, on rather lower rates. • Dyewoods.—The sale's reported are 2.00 tons Tobasco and Cam peachy Logwood at £7 15s to £8 12s 6d, according to quality, 120 tons St. Domingo, Honduras and Jamaica at .e 5 5s to £6 5s • 3o tons Savanilla Fustic at £7, and 20 ton Lima Nicaragua Wood at .t'l4. The demand for Turpentine has become dull, and prices have declined, a parcel of fair quality (540 brls.) which was offered yesterday having been withdrawn, in consequence of 12s being the highest bid, which the holders refused to accept. No sales repOrted in 'far. At the close of last week there was a brisk demand for Montreal Pot Ashes, and 300 to 400 brls, were purchased, principally at 30s 6d, but for some small parcels 31s was obtained, below which there are no sellers, although the inquiries are uow only partial. Montreal Pearl Ashes are higher, several parcels have been sold at 315 to 31s gd, and a few at 32s ; there are sellers, however, at 31s W, and a few buyers at this price. The demand for River Plate Hides continue steady, and about 10.000 have been sold, at 4d to 41d per lb for Ox, and 40 for Cow. Tobacco. —The sales this week amount to 250 hhcls„ of which 100, chiefly stemmed, were taken for Ireland. Buyers operate with much caution, and prices barely supported. The sales in Brimstone are limited this week to 100 tons, without change in price. There has been rather more inquiry for Sumac; 300 bags Sicily have been sold at 105 per cwt. for old, and lOs 6d to ti s for new, als 100 bags Venora at Os gd, and 50 bags Tyrol at gs 3d per cwt. Nothing done in Argols or Tartar. Small parcels of Madders sold at the quotations. 80 bales Turkey Madder Roots at 525, and 100 lihds. Ist Philadelphia Bark, principally at gs, from ship-side. Only small sales in Olive Oil, at previous prices. Fish Oils have been in much better demand than for some time past; 30 to 40 tons Seal found buyers at for pale, and proportionate rates for coloured, and about 20 tuns Cod brought £27 los per ton. Linseed Oil has advanced to 358, which has been paid, and in some instances refused by holders. Pale Rape is steady, at 57s for good quality. Oil of Turpentine is £2 to £3 per ton dearer, £54 having having been pretty freely given yesterday and to-day. Palm Oil.— The sales have been extensive, amounting to 800 tons, chiefly at £32 to £32 10s, although 150 tons for export were sold rather lower; the consumption appears to be very heavy, assisted. no doubt, by the present very moderate price. In Hemp or Flax there is not a single sale to report. The Tallow market has been dull since our last. and the sales of yellow Candle very limited, at 46s 6d. 3uo casks South American, withdrawn from public sale last Satur day, have since been sold privately at from 3gs to 46s per cwt., the quality being chiefly of the finest sorts. tt)(pp mg in celltaturt. ----~~.

Mr, Sugit., said that, having been personally alluded to by one of the gentlemen who had just addressed the council, he thought it necessary to trouble them with a few remarks. In the first place he begged to ask what the language was which he had made use of, and which, it was said, should have been stopped by the chair ? . . Mr. HODGSON rose, but Mr. SHEIL refused to give way. He would have the exact language, because he had never sought protection from the chair, and now that he was about to retire from the council, he would not allow the matter to rest unexplained. Mr. HODGSON begged to be permitted to say one word. Mr. SHELL requested of the gentleman to keep himself as quiet as possible. (A laugh.) He knew that it was a diffi cult matter for some men to keep themselves quiet, but he begged of Mr. Hodgson to try the experiment that time. (Renewed laughter from the radicals.) He would not retire from the council without having an opportunity afforded him for defending himself and explaining any language of which he might have made use. At the same time he was uncon scious of having used any unbecoming language, and he hoped he had never been so far forgetful of what was due to himself and the council as to ba guilty of such . a charge. But again he asked—what was the language ? _ _ _ Mr.HonGsoN said he had made no such charge. He had told Mr. Shell before that he found no fault with the lan guage he had used. (Hear.) Mr. SuEll, proceeded to say Mr. Hodgson was so excita ble a creature that he permitted himself to be carried away to such an extent—so wrapped up was he in his own views, and so overpowered was his understanding—that, no matter what the language used might be, he applied it to himself. (Laughter from the conservatives.) He (Mr. Shell) was glad to see Mr. Hodgson's friends in such good humour. But Mr. Hodgson had no patienee ; be never allowed his judgment to act, but he always supposed that he was alluded to when a man might have no more idea of alluding to him than he had of alluding to the man in the moon. (Laugh ter.) In mentioning the man in the moon, he hoped that Mr. Hodgson would not suppose that he alluded to him for a single moment. (Continued laughter.) The Cu AlRMAN—Address yourself to me, if you please, not the council. Mr. SHELL admitted that they were a little disorderly on the occasion ; but, as it was the last time they would ever meet again, it was, perhaps, somewhat allowable. (Hear, and laughter.) Again he wished to know the language ; and, in putting the question, he alluded, not to Mr. Hodgson, but to Mr. Birkett. Mr. BIRKETT—You said certain persons were insane, and such language as that was certainly anything but correct. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Swett, admitted that he had made a general assertion that some were insane on the subject of religion, and that their winds were warped ; but Mr. Hodgson had not spoken at the time, and why the gentleman should suppose that he (Mr. S.) alluded particularly to him was his affair. He hoped he would explain that satisfactorily. He was glad to have the present opportunity of explaining what he said, and the circumstances under which he had said it; for it must then be clear that the mayor could not have called him to order for having made use of a general assertion. (Hear.) The statistical returns showed that more men had been sent to mad-houses for having lost their reason on religious sub jects than any other. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear." With respect to the long rigmarole from Mr. Birkett, what had it amounted to ? Simply this :—that he was out of order so often the mayor had to call him to it. (A. laugh.) The coun cil would never sanction the mayor in putting down any man if he were not out of order. With respect to Mr. Harbord, who hed been the cause of the whole proceedings, *hat were the circumstances ? That gentleman had got up and asked a question, the bearing of which was, to draw a distinction be tween the members of the council. (Uproar.) Mr. HARBORD.—FaIse. It is not right to have state ments of this kind go before the public which are not true. (Hear.) I asked the question for . the purpose of being guided in my vote. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN.—I hope Mr. Harbord will see the ne cessity of withdrawing the word " false." Mr. HARBORD.—I withdraw the word "false," and say it's not true." (Hear. If you allow gentlemen in an indi rect way to allude to others, and to call them fashionable names, and that we cannot seek for redress, then I say that themis partiality still in the chair. (Cheers.) SHEII, would prove what he had said. He had already stated that the gentleman asked a question, the tendency of which was to draw a distinction between the religion of the different members of the council. (" No, no," from the conservatives.) Then he would put the question, for he liked to prove his position. The gentleman stood up and asked " Is the person a member of the Church of England ?" and he (Mr. S.) would put it to anyone, whether such a question, when asked in reference to a person who was about to be placed over a school, had not a tendency to draw a dis tinction between the different members of the community ? What had Mr. Harbord himself said ? That he asked it in order that he might know how he should vote ; and yet this was not to make a distinction ! Why, it was a sort of insult to the understanding to say' the contrary. It was nonesense ; and the word " nonesense” he hoped was not too strong. (A. laugh.) Afterwards Mr. Harbord said that he had a respect tn.' the Roman Catholics. He (Mr. S.) expected the wo-4 " love" from him ; but he supposed he had that sort of lo . e for Roman Catholics which the great patron of his pristy iiad for holy water. (Laughter.) . BLACKBURN said that, as he had been alluded to in the c 'use of the debate, he wished to observe that the words ...Ace prepense" had been used by him in a jocular man ner. (" Oh ! oh 1" from the conservatives.) He never in tended to apply any such words to Mr. Gladstone, who had studied the newspapers for the purpose of convicting him of inconsistency ; but he had not used the words in a vindictive sense. (Hear.) He felt that he had done wisely in pro posing the vote of thanks, because he had heard nothing of unfair dealing on the part of the mayor. Mr. GLADSTONE expressed hiniself satisfied with Mr. Blackburn's explanation. lie confessed that he had left the council on the day in question under the impression that the words had been used in the worst possible feeling. (Hear, hear.) He knew not what meaning Mr. Blackburn attached to the words " malice prepense." It was language that gen tlemen were not in the habit of using ; it was language that should not be tolerated in the council ; and he was surprised that the mayor on the occasion had not called him to order for it. (Hear.) He found himself in a painful predicament at that moment, because, although he entertained strong views on political subjects, he never would sell himself to do an injury to ally man ; but he must confess that he had been one of those who opposed the election of the present mayor on the conviction, in his own mind, that he was not the most desirable man to be elected ; and that conviction had been rather strengthened than weakened since he entered office. (Hear, hear.) With good intentions the mayor had meant to do well, but that his conduct had been marked by partiality there was no doubt in his mind. (lie pointed to Mr. Hodg son as an instance in which it had been exhibited ; and he would ask the council whether the fact of that gentleman's opinions not being what they formerly were was not the real bone of contention against him ? (Hear.) On one occasion the very alderman who then sat in the chair entertained the opinions which Mr. Hodgson did at present. There was no doubt but Mr. Hodgson had every right to hold strong religious opinions • but was he; on' that account, to be a marked man? (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. G.) once differed with Mr. Hodgson, but if that gentleman were to turn to the other side to-morrow he would treat him with that respect which his conduct deserved. (Cheers.) Mr. Gladstone con cluded by again expressing his opinion as unfavourable to the mayor as regarded his partiality. Mr. Amu , : complained of a want of charity upon the part of those who prided themselves on their religion and benevo lence, and expressed a hope that the mayor would overcome the denunciations of men whose denunciations carried little force. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE thought the mayor had been re cently guilty of an error in judgment in presiding at a meet ing called for the futile purpose of embarrassing her Ma jesty's ministers. (Hear.) He thought it injudicious of the mayor to have lent himself to such a purpose ; but this was the only ground of difference he had with him. Mr. YATES said the meeting in question had. been con vened for the purpose of considering and remedying the dis tress which pervaded the land. The CHAIRMAN here asked whether he was to understand that no amendment had been moved. (" You are.") Then, said he, the motion has been carried with the exception of the gentlemen who have expressed their sentiments against it. Most of the Conservatives here left the council ; after which The MAYOR returned thanks. He entered office with an intention of faithfully and imparti Ally discharging its duties. He admitted that he made use inadvertently of an expression which ought not to have fallen from him ; but, when he withdrew it, the matter ought to have ended. (Hear, hear.) After replying to a few of the accusations brought against him, he concluded by saying that he had ever endeavoured to act upon the maxim of doing to others as he would be done by. The council separated at two o'clock. SEr,"YD 1 7 DITION at „. 4 Standard Office, Eleven o'clach MUNICIPAL ELECTION RETURNS. W IGAN. Conservatives returned .

BIRMINGHAM, Our municipal elections passed off without a contest in any of the Wards. Not the slightest interest was excited, and the Council remains constituted as heretofore—all whigs and radicals; the latter, however, having an overwhelming preponderance. Overtures were made by the leading whigs to some of the conservative party, to suffer themselves to be put in nomination, with a promise of liberal support, but they declined the honour. DETECTED CONSPIRACY IN BRUSSELS (From the Courrier Beige.) Willa France has been convulsed by emeutes, Spain by insurrection, and the United States and England by agita tion, the world beheld the tranquility of Belgium with astonishment. It was scarcely possible that this state of things could continue, for Belgium is every bit as constitu tional, and, consequently, must " go ahead" as fast as other nations which keep continually progressing in their onward course. The powers that be are not a jot less stronger, therefore, we also must show some signs of life, and thus this night have we also had our conspiracy. It was not the potice, however, who threw any obstacles in the way to pre vent this explosion, which has been inevitable ever since the fetes of September. The funds of the police are inefficient to provide for the safety of the state. There can be no doubt that the conspirators were all in earnest in rhis affair, and " meant business." In one of our suliurbs, two new six-pounders and two field-pieces, with harness, ammunition, &c., all ready to sweep the streets of our tratquil city. Sii persons have been arrested during the night ; amongst them is the intendant of the V. P., together with the captain of those who were wounded in Septen - .ber. Two generals have escaped by flying the country. The foundry at which the balls and cartridges were manu factured has been discovered. Four pieces of cannon have also been seized, and are at the Hotel da Ville. Attempts hove been made to seduce the non-commissioned officers of the garrison, but they immediately denounced them to their superior officers. To-morrow was the day fixed upon for the breaking out of the conspiracy. The conspirators had extended their ramni fications throughout Ghent, Antwerp, Liege, &c. Had it broken out in the night it might have been successful, as the officers who live in the snburbs could have had their throats cut before they could have arrived at the barracks. This is cause of the order given to the officers to return to the town. The pieces of artillery were received at the Ti vo li Gardees. The conspirators consisted partly of Orangeists, and partly of true patriots ; each of which party had its Di ego L eon aepresented by the two Generals. V. D. S. and V. D. M., who have taken to their beds. The brother of the former has been arrested. Of a truth, Belgium is a country of imitators. We have also received the following details : During the whole of yesterday afternoon the police and authorities were on the alert. Thousands of rumours were afloat respecting the goings and comings of those function aries. It was at first thought to relate to a band of robbers, which it is well know► has extensive ramifications in the city. This, however, better informed people said was caused by a conspiracy against the welfare of the state. The law officers, accompanied by the police agents, re paired to the different quarters of the town to make domici liary visits at the residences of the parties suspected.— Amongst others they proceeded to the house of M. Deere hen in the Rue d' Argent. They were compelled to break open the doors, and seized several articles. Gendarmes then went in pursuit of M. Decrehen, who was arrested and taken to the bureau of public safety. He is reported to have had a violent altercation, with the Minister of War. As M. Decrehon alighted from the carriage before the door of the Minister of the Interior, he succeeding in escaping, but was subsequently recaptured. Large bodies of people assembled about the streets, and troops are stationed about the town. M. Decrehen has been interrogated, but nothing is as • ye known. Some other arrests have taken place, and the guard at the posts about the town have been doubled. A battalia of the 10th has just arrived at Brussels. The authorities declare that they have discovered the traces of widely extending conspiracy. The ministers assembled in council this morning, and several expresses have been sent off by the King.
