19 4 19.( @MORI ?Mt 140ititii4 4Ptlcrukt.(gp mAelva, ate adjourned council, for the despatch of the remaining monthly business, was held, in the Town-hall, on Wednesday. The Mayor presided. CHURCH EXPENDITURE COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee were read. The committee recommended a reduction in the pew rents of St. Michael's Church. Touching the question of the appointment of an organist in the room of Mr. Clough, it appeared that some doubts are entertained as to whether the appointment is in the council. Subsequently a memorial applying for the situation was referred to the committee, and it was under stood that applications were to be made to the committee, which body is to recommend to the council. COURT OF REQUESTS' COMMITTEE. The committee recommended that the salaries of William Worrall, Richard Whittham, William Jenkins, and Daniel Wells, summons officers, and John Whiteside and James Roberts, assistant execution officers, be raised from 21s. to 245. per week. It appeared that one of the officers of the court had been discharged, it having been communicated, in a report from Mr. Lowndes, that he had struck a suitor of the court. A recommendation was embodied that application should be made to parliament to alter the constitution of the court, so that the cases should in future be decided by a jury of five. The proceedings were approved and adopted. Mr. BIRKETT wished to know how many applications had been made to parliament relative to this court. Mr. BRIGHT said several applications had been made, and former committees had requested to have a jury, and against that the authorities appeared to have set their laces. The TOWN-CLERK said their great object had been to ob tain a jury, and this had been met by great opposition in London, where a pretty general opinion was entertained that it was best to leave decisions in courts of this nature to one sole judge, who should be a barrister. Mr. COOPER said the corporation was losing £7OO a year by this court, yet the expenses on small debts were exceed ingly . There was no doubt, if they could get trial by -v could gain £2OOO a year. great jury, the• MEMORIAL FROM SHIPBUILDERS A memorial was presented from certain shipbuilders, whose yards will be displaced by the intended new docks, soliciting ' compensation for the heavy sacrifices which they will have to make for the public benefit. Mr. BOLTON said the Town-clerk would be prepared to in form the council that the parties in question had held the yards with the express understanding that the space would be ultimately required for docks. The TOWN-CLERK said the tenancies were all determinable on six months' notice, and the parties had all known, since 109, that the space would be required for the public service. Mr. COOPER thought, as the parties were old tenants of the corporation, they ought to be compensated for the inconveni ence to which they would be put. Mr. BUSHELL said he had been requested to support this application. He refused, because he thought the proposition most monstrous. No man could for a moment hesitate what to do if it were his own property. He would expect that his tenant should quit on regular notice, and would never think of paying him to do so. Why should they deal with public property in a different manner from what they would with their own ? The TOWN-CLERK pointed out that property like this, let at half a years' notice, must be let at a disadvantage to the owner. The parties had constantly been aware that the pro perty would be wanted. ST INDIA MAILS Mayor. showing that Sir Hesketh 1. Sir ( Strickland, and other members of parliament, would interest themselves for the purpose of making Liverpool the port of arrival and departure for the West India mails. Mr. G. H. LAwits)rc spoke of the address of the Finance for the purpose of having Liverpool appointed the .or the mails in question. He pointed out that the committee had great local interests to contend with, and that they had a difficulty which proved almost insuperable, in the direct promise of the government that a channel port should be used. The matter, however, would not be suffered to sleep, and he hoped that they would he able eventually, not only to make Liverpool a station for the West India mails, Dublin mails to this side of the water. ,k for this, however, they must do all they nmodation of the public, in making good Committ station f but to bring back t Before they coulrl could f Mr. BRIGHT thou the object of such vast importance be appointed specially for the pur- that a committee shoul pose. The MAYOR thought the matter would be vigilantly at tended to by the Finance Committee. ORPHAN SCHOOL A letter was read fr;n3 the Rev. Rector Brooks, applying for a piece of land on which to erect a school for orphans. Mr. AIKIN spoke in high terms of the proposed institu tion, and moved that the subject be referred to the proper committee, with instructions for them to select a suitable piece of land seconded the motion, and expressed a de sire that they should add the building as well as the land. Mr. BUSHELL The motion was carried STANDING ORDERS. The subject of the standing orders and additional amend ments proposed therein, as already suggested and notified by the town-clerk, was taken up. The first of these was, that the mayor, instead of being ex-officio member of all ,omm , -flicio member of all permanent com mitte committees, by an ex Mr..G. H. LAWRENCE supported the alteration, pointing out what he conceived to be the inconvenience of hating the mayor an ex-officio member of sub-committees. He was strongly opposed by Mr. Bushell and Mr. Evans, who ridiculed the idea of not having the mayor a member of the sub-committees, when he, as chief magistrate of the tows, should be conversant with all that was passing. On the motion of Mr. Aticriv, seconded by Mr. BUSHELL, the rule was passed in its original shape, without the word per manent. . . Mr. PROCTER moved, as a standing order, " that every memorial intended to be presented at any quarterly or monthly meeting of the Council shall be presented to the Council by the member to whom such memorial shall be en trusted, and a copy of which memorial shall be filed, in the office of the Town-clerk, before five o'clock in the after noon of the day preceding the day for summoning, in order that the same may be mentioned in the notice and sum mons." His object was that the memorials should be well understood by the Council. He had seen memorials read by the Mayor, and suddenly laid aside, without any of the Council knowing what they were about. Mr. EVANS opposed the motion. Mr. PARKER seconded the motion. Mr. EVANS said such an order would be productive of few of which probably would be de serving of being read. They might have hereafter (he would except the present company), members who might wish to distinguish themselves by making speeches. Such persons would, in a manner, invite memorials, and the council would be entertained by long speeches. Mr. AIKIS, Mr. BUSHELL, the mayor, Mr. EARLE, and Mr. BIRKETT, opposed the motion, being of opinion that it would exclude many memorials. Mr. BUSHELL thought that there would be no harm in ordering that all memorials should be filed, but Mr. Earle objected to this, as it might be desirable to keep a memorial secret till the day it was to be brought forward, and the council had no right to compel a member to make the con tents of his memorial public till he thought proper. Ulti mately Mr. Procter's proposition was lost, all the members present, with the exception of the mover and seconder, more memorials, vt. we please ? The TowN-CLERK.--y es . The conversation here dropped had give corporation's a, voted against it. Mr, Procter's other motion, that standing order No. 38, relating to the schools, be rescinded, was withdrawn. THE DIVISIONS. Mr. BOLTON said that before the standing orders were disposed of, he wished to have a clear understanding upon a certain point. His own impression had been that nothing could be considered as carried in the council when there was not a majority of the members present in favour of it. It would be in their recollection that when the Education Com mittee had been chosen, sixty members were present, twen ty-eight of whom voted for Mr. Harbord, twenty-six for Mr. Lloyd, and six for Mr. Aikin. He then thought that as Mr. Aikin had only six votes in his favour, the question should lie between Mr. Harbord and Mr. Lloyd. He wished to know what the standing order, or what the law was, in such a case, should it occur again ; because, although twenty eight was not the majority of sixty, Mr. Harbord had been declared elected. The TOWN-CLERK admitted that if there was to be a re election between the two, the votes given for the third party might turn the scale. If, for instance, there were twenty for one party, sixteen for another, and five for a third, the one having the twenty would stand the highest upon the numbers ; yet, if there was to be another election between the party having the twenty and the party having the sixteen, the five votes thrown away might be in favour of the one having the sixteen. In point of law, if three persons were put up for one office, and that there were twenty votes for one, sixteen for another, and five for a third, the one having the twenty would he legally carried. This had occurred in cases of election for members of parliament. There was no going over the ground a second time when one only was to be elected ; and therefore, if there was to be any alteration of the rule on the subject in the council, it should be made matter for a new standing order. He recollected only one instance in which it had been proposed that there should be a re-election between the two parties having the largest num bers, and that Ras in the election of a mayor ; but the result in the first trial in that case was such that there was no occa sion to go into it a second time. Mr. BOLTON said that a person having only twenty votes in his favour might be elected a member of committee, pro vided four candidates should happen to be nominated, and that the large number of sixty-four members should happen to be present. Under such circumstances he begged to give notice to the following effect, that no person should be elect ed to any office who should not have the votes of a majority of the members present in his favour. Mr. MELLOR wished to put another question to the town clerk, namely, whether it had not been irregular to allow Mr. Aikin's name to be put forward on the occasion in ques tion. The seventh standing order set forth that when an amendment was made no second amendment could be taken into consideration until the first should have been disposed of. When Mr. Harbord had been proposed, an amendment was moved, and then another member jumped up and pro posed a second amendment ; therefore he thought the rule had been altogether violated in that instance. The TOWN-CLERK was of opinion that the seventh stand ing order referred to amendments on resolutions, and not as to whether one, four, five, or seven parties should be pro posed as candidates.. The notice, however, which Mr. Bol ton had given was perfectly reasonable, and the law would make valid any standing order to such an effect. Mr. BIRKETT referred to the election of a tax-collector, which had taken place a few days before, in which three parties had gone to the poll, and the highest was declared elected. He thought this case precisely similar to the one to which Mr. Bolton had alluded. Mr. AIKIN said that in all popular elections the rule was as the town-clerk had laid it down ; but it was never so in a deliberative assembly. The TowN-CLERK said that the council might adhere to the standing order, or determine that the election should ke place in the manner suggested by Mr. Bolton, because notice given by the latter was a reasonable one. EvANs.—Then we can make a special case of it when THE MUNICIPA L B u su ELL proposed the followingACT. motion, of which he u notice :—." That a committeel? e appointed to take i to consider a tion the various discrepancies c ts, and to make such representations in the municipal : b esentations and to e he said, th a t for the amend )pt such measures as may appear advis ! nt of those acts." He could not imagine, ere could be offered any opposition to this proposal o on any but one which de, because it was not a party question, reefed them all in a very high degree. No one could con emn more than he did an y attempt on the part of ;overning body to interfere with the acts of the general attire, but, in the present case, the council were directly g a ls— d and, therefore, it wa y s collectively affected. They hail been elected under, and th n e were governed by, the municipal laws, of deep importance that those laws should work properly and beneficially. He wou ld ask who so competent to judge o f the working of those la ws as the municipal bodies, or as the H cor poration of Liverpool in particular ? ( ea r, hear.) By reason of the extent of the Liverpool constituency had,, anandper- the great conflict of the contending parties they d haps ever would have, in the town, defects had shown ese them ws selves in Liverpool by reaso n of the working of th la, which might not have e xhibited themselves in any other town ; and, therefore, no corporation could be better ena bled to set an example to the country at large on such a sub ject as the present, than the corporation of Liverpool. (Hear) It had been asked bF Mr. G. H. Lawrence at the time he lits, if ~FE - 11;1"c It;OCti cif 1000 1 4t 5 Ggi wijieil bcoro that during the Ox Years which.thOse municipal sete lied been in operation, he had had occasion to submit to counsel 50 disputed cases, at a cost of 500 guineas. (Hear, hear.) And if he (Mr. B.) went into the Revision Court, and looked at the melancholy proceedings which they had had there, arising out of the ambiguous terms in which the qualification was expressed—and if he looked at the many who had been put upon the parish books who never could have any claim on the parish whatever but for certain circumstances, lie would ask had Liverpool anything to do with these things. He thought she had a great deal to do with them. (Hear.) The govern ment could only receive through the municipal bodies the requisite information ; and why should they withhold it, see ing that they had suffered so much from the ambiguous words in question ? Ile thought it was their duty to submit the discrepancies, and to call on the government to revise them. If it were asked why go to this expense, he in reply thought he had proved that the expense, in order to save ex pense, ought to be incurred in order that they might not have those unfortunate conflicts which they had had hitherto. He regretted that his friends on the opposite side, when they had the power, did not bring the subject forward, but that was no reason why the conservatives should not do their duty in this matter. Mr. AIKIN rose to second the motion, but in doing so he begged to set Mr. Bushell right, because his (Mr. A.'s) party had moved in the matter. He should take credit to himself for having uttered a suggestion which Mr. Bushell had taken up, namely, that instead of expending the corpo rate funds in other ways, he thought it would become the council to expend them in endeavouring to remove the dis crepancies and contradictions which were upon the face of the act. (Hear.) He begged to be allowed to explain what was well known to many—that perhaps there never was a more perfect bill produced than the present bill, but that in its progress through the Lords—certain noble lords—(oh ! oh !)—he was going to show how the contradictions had arisen—in its passage through the Lords various amendments and propositions were stated, which were so much calculated, in the mind of the mover, to disgust those who were carrying the bill through partiament, that it be withdrawn. But those who had the management of the bill said they would take it with all its defects. Had it been referred back to the com mons it would have been lost altogether, and then the mem bers for the several wards in Liverpool would never have met in that council to congratulate each other. (A laugh.) Va rious discrepancies and contradictions had in consequence arisen, and it was with the view of restoring the bill to its original purity that he seconded the motion. He was sorry that various clauses had been introduced into the act which it was not in their power to remedy, and which denuded the Liverpool and other councils of what they ought to have in their various localities. After expressing his regret that the power the council heretofore possessed in the matter of church patronage had been taken from it by clauses which could not be remedied, he concluded by expressing the plea sure he felt in seconding the resolution. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said that the present subject had been before a committee heretofore—that they had done all they could to make such alterations in the bill as they thought desirable, and that nothing had resulted. He thought they should be cautious in interfering with the legislature, for the council was not a legislative body after all. (Hear, hear.) Ile felt that they should be getting into party politics by touching matters of the kind. He did not deny the defects of the bill, on the contrary there were many points in it which he would wish to see rectified. But he was not quite sure that the legislature would let the municipal bodies settle those points. He wished that the power should be left in the hands of the council of settling contested elections •, but he had doubts whether such a power would be given. Under all the circumstances he thought it would be desirable to see what the government would du in the matter in the first instance. Mr. ISAAC HOLMES rose for the purpose of stating, that the very circumstance which Mr. Aikin said he deplored— namely, that of taking away the power of appointing to the church, was a measure which of all others he (Mr. H.) highly approved of. if in the city of Dublin the council had the appointment of the clergy to the church establishment of the country, when three-fourths of the members for Dub lin were directly opposed to the established religion of the realm, what would be the consequence? The MAvon. interrupted. He thought Mr. Holmes ought to confine himself to the subject of the motion. Mr. HOLMES asked why Mr. Aikin had not been stopped. The MAYOR admitted that the question was a fair one, aad said that Mr. Aikin had gone perhaps too far. He con fessed that he had been wrong in not detecting that Mr. Aikin was wandering from the subject. Mr. HOLMES expressed a hope that some alteration would be made in the act which would have the effect of preventing persons from being placed on the registry who were unable to pay their own taxes. (Hear , hear.) Mr. EvANs hoped the council would endeavour to get as much legislative power into their own hands as they possibly could. - Mr. SANDBACH trusted the committee would extend their inquiry to the annual recurrence of elections in the town, involving a fortnight's interruption of business, idleness, dissipation, and a disorganization of society. Mr. EARLE admired Mr. Sanbach's modesty in coming forward on the present occasion on such a subject, and asked why he had not done the same thing two or three years before. Mr. SANDBACI-1. -1 wonder you didn't complain of it two or three years ago. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The motion was then put and carried unanimously, and the following members were appointed upon the committee: —Messrs. Bolton, Evans, Aikin, Lloyd, Sandbach, Birkett, H. Lawrence, Crooke, and Bushell. TUE EDUCATION QUESTION. The MAYOR said the next subject upon the paper was the motion of which Mr. Councillor Bolton had given notice, namely— " That it be an instrruction to the Education Committee, that the children of Roman Catholics shall not, iu the corpo ration schools, be required to use or read any book whatever against which their parents or guardians may have conscien tious objections." Mr. BOLTON rose and said, that, when he gave notice of the instruction to the committee, just read by the mayor, it was under the strong impression that there were members of the Education Committee whose prejudices were so strong and so pertinatious in expressing their opinions, that a ma jority of the committee were not to be free to act upon their own convictions. Under that impression, he had given the notice. He should very briefly state that the schools were supported from the surplus funds of the corporation, and that that the municipal law laid down rules, very distinctly, for the appropriation of that surplus. There were two ways only in which that surplus could be employed, and those ways were clearly defined, namely, for the benefit of the inhabitants, and the improvement of the town. Now as Catholics were a large portion of the community of this town, and were inha bitants, he maintained that any surplus funds to be ex pended in education, could only be employed in such a way that that class of the community should have their fair share —not only their share, indeed, but, inasmuch as they were poorer than the rest of the community, they should have more than their share of that advantage. He would further state that whatever rules might be adopted, he trusted they would be made with regard to the conscientious convictions of the community, and that conscience should, in no case, be violated. Since he came into that room, it had been inti mated to him, that there was a desire, upon the part of the Education Committee, not to forego these considerations ; and induced to believe, as he was, that their case would be considered by the committee, he should not persevere in the motion of which he had given notice : but leave it to the committee, and when their report was furnished, he should then take such opportunities of discussing that report as circumstances might seem to justify. Before he sat down he would just throw out the hint that as this question very greatly agitated the public, it might be expedient and proper before the council came to discuss it, that the report of the committee should be printed for the use of the members of the council. At present he withdrew the motion of which he had given potice. Mr. BusHELL asked the Mayor whether Mr. Bolton had power to withdraw his notice. Mr. BOLTON.—Certainly ; I have not made it. Mr. SANDS said he might state on behalf of the committee that they did not thank Mr. Bolton for the high compliment he had paid to the committee ; that notwithstanding what he had said they would act independently according to their own view of the case, and not be dictated to by any individual. (Hear, hear.) He thought it only right to state that much for himself and the rest of the committee. He was surprised that Mr. Bolton should have cast such aspersions upon inde pendent gentlemen upon the committse. Mr. EARLE was proceeding to make some observations upon the conduct of Mr. David Hodgson, in the course of which he said he could enumerate many conservative gentle mem, in the council who had expressed their regret that he was upon the committee or in the council; when Mr. COOPER called Mr. Earle to order, there being no question before the council. Mr. EARLE protested that he was in order. The MAYOR said, that as there was no motion before the council Mr. Alderman Earle was out of order; the subject had been referred to the committee, and when their report was made would be the time for Mr. Earle to speak. Mr. BusnELL said this motion of Mr. Bolton had created considerable discussion in the town, and had given rise to the question as to how The MAYOR repeated that there was no question before the council, and decidedly Mr. Bushell bad no right to go on. Mr. JOHN SMITH.—I imagine I cannot be heard to-day Mr. Mayor ? The MAYOR.—Certainly not. Many members then rose from their seats, and in a few minutes afterwards the council separated. A MAYOR WITHOUT A VOTE IN THE COUNCIL.—At the election of the Mayor of Davenport, Mr. W. P. Billing, was chosen, and immediately afterwads rejected as an alderman, or in other words, ejected from the council. The council may if they think tit, select a mayor from among the burgesses, and therefore, Mr. Billing can preside over the council, but he cannot vote, being neither alderman nor councillor. THE VILLAGE CHURCH.—The villagers have a feeling of property in their own parish church. Generally venerable from extreme antiquity, and firm as the hills around it, it stands as a part of their native land, and to endure with the country to all ages. It appeals, moreover, to all the affec tions, by motives which penetrate the inmost heart ; bring ing before the worshipper his birth, his domestic happiness and duty, the memory of departed friends, and his own death. Within, he sees the font at which he was baptized, and the altar where he knelt at his marriage; around it he contem plates the graves of his friends, and the spot which one day will probably be his own. These are charms which speak to every bosom. Every one also feels that a picture of English scenery is incomplete without the old grey tower, or the vil lage spire—upon which the eye rests as the lovliest picture of the landscape. And who can hear the distant bells in the cheerfulness of a summer's morning, without feeling their soothing power enter his very soul ?-oastler on the Church. - - TITHES AND THE IRISH PAPISTS.—If the obligation to pay tithes to the Irish church be the great grievance under which the Roman Catholics are weighed down (which I deny), and if this be the only obstacle which stands in the way of restoring peace and tranquillity to Ireland, as Lord Alvanley infers, a much cheaper and more effectual means of ac complishing its removal can be devised than the payment of the priests, recommended by his lordship. There are in Ire land, I believe, about four thousand priests who, on a moderate calculation, for confessions, marriages, burials, extreme unction, masses, months' minds, churching of women, priests' coin, &c., receive about £600,000, thus affording to each a salary of about £l5O per annum. In this sum salaries of bishops are not included. Take, it however, at £600,000, and large as it is, who is there that would not be willing to sacrifice it, provided there were no surrender of principle in volved therein, if by doing so peace and harmony would be secured to Ireland ? A much less sum, however, will be re quired, if the greivance of tithe be all that is necessary to be removed. I have said that the amount of tithe, payable to the clergy of the Established Church, is about £300,000, half the sum necessary to be paid to the Raman Catholic priests, supposing they would be satisfied with it. Let lands be pur chased by the government at every opportunity, producing a yearly amount equal to that of the tithes ; and according as the land is purchased, let the proceeds be applied to the use of the clergy, in lieu of their tithes, the expense will then come gradually o ff the state, without suddenly depreciating the value of m one y or i ncr easing that of land ; tithes will be extinguished in a few years in name and reality, and the pre sumed grievance, arising from the o bli gat i on to pay th em , will be compl e t e l y and for ever removed. The reason for vesting the money in land must be obvious, it will give the property a character of security at d permanence which it clergyotherw Toe fluctuate could n o not c h caovres willinaandtothe c ca h u a s n e ge th s e of in t c h o e m t e im o e f s t .— he Lord Rodex's Observations on Ireland. ticONEY 4,4T o paifipia ItwitAirdzi, 1 'lliac is oo alteration to report in the home itocksi the turn in Consols which closed sellers at 851 instead of buyers as yesterday.

Some excite ment was caused in the market by the reported disappear ance of a party officially connected with the Brighton Rail way Company, who is understood to have been speculating largely in the shares on the wrong side of the account, and consequently therefore turns out a defaulter. Amidst the va rious rumours in circulation it is not easy exactly to ascer tain whether, as said in some quarters, the company are likely to be sufferers by the event. The London and County Bank, which has been rather unlucky in the matter of fail ures of late, is mentioned as likely to be losers to the extent of nearly £1,200, and Smith, Payne and Smiths £l,OOO by the defaulter on banking account. There has been rather a large business done to-day in the general produce markets, at prices not materially different from those obtained yesterday. There were auctions to-day, at the house of the Hudson's Bay Company, of the following articles—viz., 1,000 lbs Castorum ; 2,329 lbs Isinglass ; 707 lbs Sea-horse Teeth ; 12,316 lbs Bed Feathers ; 2,414 gallons of Oil ; 3,512 Buf falo and Deer Tongues, &c. ; and 933,915 Goose and Swan Quills, and Wings. The Castorum, in bond, in 21 lots, sold at 155 to 24s ; some of the Isinglass at 4s 4d to 45 Bd, and the Sea-horse Teeth at 3s 10d to 4s per lb ' • some Caviare at 55 to 15s ; the Oil in 7 lots, at £3 2 to £39 15s per tun; the Buffalo Tongues at 16s Gd to 20s 9d, the highest being the Y.

COURT CIRCULAR-WEDNESDAY This morning his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by General Sir Edward Bowater and Mr. George Edward Anson, enjoyed several hours' shooting in the preserves, near Sandpit Gate. In the afternoon, her Majesty rode out in a pony phaeton, driven by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Countess of Gainsborough, the Earl of Warwick, Lady Caroline Cocks, and the lion. Sarah Mary Cavendish followed in a pony carriage and four ; and General Sir Edward Bowater, Col. Arbuthnot, and General Sir William Lumley, attended on horseback. The royal party entered the park by Spittal road, and returned to the castle by Sheet-street. Her lioyal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, walked on the Terrace this afternoon. Mr. George Edward Anson and the lion. Mrs. Anson will have the honour of dining at the castle this evening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, had a dinner party on Tuesday evening, at her residence, Glouces ter House. The company included their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, and their Serene High nesses the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, the Duke of Saxe Meiningen, Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal, and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. Lady Augusta Somerset was in waiting on the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Baron de Spesshardt (chamberlain to the Duke of Saxe Meiningenl was in waiting on his serene highness. Her Serene Highness the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar left Marlborough House at a quarter past four o'clock yes terday morning, to embark at the Custom House, for the Continent. His royal highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Col. Jones, left town yesterday morning, for his residence at Kew. His serene highness the Duke of Saxe Meiningen, attended by his chamberlain, Colonel the Baron de Spesshardt, took his departure from Marlborough-house, shortly before twelve o' clock, yesterday, for the continent. Mr. George Nicholls had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yesterday, at his official residence in Down ing-street. Despatches from the governor of the Mauritius were re ceived, yesterday, at the Colonial-office. THE EXCHEQUER BILL AFFAIR-MR. RAPALLO (From yesterday's Morning Herald.) " MR. RAPALLo.—The Recorder was obliged to discharge Mr. Rapallo at the close of the session last night, but he had not left Newgate half an hour ere an inspector of police went there with a warrant to intercept his egress, or lodge a de tainer upon another charge connected with the Exchequer , Bill forgeries, but the bird had flown. A good deal of sur prise was expressed that the bill was not submitted to the in vestigation of the grand jury, as forty-nine witnesses were in attendance to give evidence." [\Ve were scarcely prepared for so early, and so emphatic a commentary, as the above paragraph supplies, on the view we yesterday took, (exclusively we believe,) of the singular doubts and difficulties in which the trial and condemnation of Mr. Beaumont Smith had involved all the aspects of the Ex chequer Bills forgery affair. Mr. Phillips, as we observed, was very earnest in pressing Rapallo's immediate liberation ; and the learned gentlemen only discharged the duty he owed to his client in that appeal. But with what view Rapallo could have been admitted approver for the Crown, if no use was to be made of his evidence, (and it was known that Smith would plead " guilty ;")—or of what use his evidence could be, if it was not wanted for the purposes of the Crown,—that should entitle him to avoid the " dock ;" we were, it seems, justified in declaring ourselves unable to comprehend, if the prosecution of Smith did not leave other delinquents, and other disclosures, yet to be produced. Has accident or ne cessity compelled the new proceeding against Rapallo? We shall watch the denownent of this affair with great curiosity. Up to a late hour last night no account had reached us of his capture.] STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER Dec. S.—The depression in this market continues without the slightest relief, and prices of goods and yarn generally continue gradually to decline. There is some demand for very low counts of water twist for the Levant, and perhaps a little more inquiry for good 27-inch printing cloth for the United States ; but generally the market is exceedingly flat, and sales are effected with diffi culty, even at lower prices. We regret to hear, that the last advices from New South Wales announce a number of serious failures at Sydney, where business is represented as being in a most wretched condition. There has also been a failure of a Brazilian house at Rio, the engagements of which are from £30,000 to £40,000; and we regret to learn, that a portion of the loss will fall upon houses in this town. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, DEC. 6.—There has been a better demand for flannels to-day, but no improvement in prices. The wool market still remains dull, and prices stationary. HUDERSFIELD MARKET, DEC. 7.—This was a more ani mated market than for some weeks past, there being more buyers than usual. The demand was very varied ; but orders were exceedingly small, and prices drooping, or, at any rate, not improved. In fancy goods, a few favoured articles are doing well ; but the great mass of tradesmen have to struggle hard against the almost unparalleled long depression in the staple articles. Wools are firm in price ; and warehouse business is a fair average for the season. The Great Western has crossed and re-crossed the Atlan tic for three years without once missing her day or meeting the slightest accident. SHOCKING DEATII OF THE HON. LUCY FORTESCUE.— We have to record the melancholy death of this lady, which took place at Brighton on Friday morning last, in consequence of injuries caused by her clothes taking fire. The circum stances under which it took place will be gathered from the following evidence, which was given at an inquest on the body, held at the City of Hereford Inn, Brighton, on Satur day, before Mr. J. F. Gell, coroner, and a respectable jury : Sarah Cooper deposed—l was maid to the deceased, who re sided in Charlotte-street, Brighton. She was a single lady, and was in her 78th year. On Thursday morning, the 23d of November, between 9 and 10 o'clock, I had dressed her all but her upper garments, and then left her, and retired into an adjoining room, as was my custom, until she washed. In about half an hour I heard a noise as of the stamping of feet. I opened the door immediately, and found the deceased in the middle of the room enveloped in flames. I went up to her and got a carpet and put it over her, and then rang the bell. I screamed loudly. The two female servants and the nurse came up immediately. The servants threw water upon her and extinguished the flames, after which we put her to , bed. I then discovered that her left arm and thigh, and round her throat, were much burnt. She was not able to speak much. She asked me how it happened, but I was un able to tell her. There was a fire in the room, but there was no guard on it. The flames appeared to me to have caught the lower part of her clothes. Medical assistance was imme diately obtained, but she died about half-past two o'clock on the night of Thursday. I had been accustomed to leave her in her room with a fire in it. I had left her gown before the fire to warm it. Mr. R. P. Phillpotts, surgeon, Devonshire place, Brighton, deposed—l was called upon to attend the deceased on the morning of Tuesday, the 23d ult., in conse quence of her having been burnt. Being out, my assistant went before me. On my arrival I found him dressing wounds of considerable magnitude on the left arm of the deceased. Her chin, throat, and left thigh were also very much burnt. I continued to attend her up to her death. She died of fever, the consequence of injuries to the skin from the burning. She was unable to give any account as to how it happened. The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The deceased was sister to the late and aunt to the present Lord Fortescue.—Standard. DEATHS AT LEIGH SINTON FROM POISON. — The inquest on Thomas Jones, the father of the unfortunate children whose deaths were mentioned in our last, was held before Mr. Hughes, on Wednesday, and adjourned to Friday, on which day the investigation terminated. The following de. tail of particulars in the history of this remarkable and tragic occurrence completely overturns the hypothesis of the cause of death given in the preceding account, and irrefragably proves that this lamentable loss of life has ensued from poison—that poison being arsenic, and coming in the way of the doomed family in a manner which, though purely acci dental, will we hope operate as a terrible warning against, we must say, the very culpable negligence with which it ap pears that great quantities of this most deadly poison are suffered to lie exposed about farm-house. Mr. Pierpoint stated, that from his first view of the body, he was of opinion that the man had died from the effects of arsenic, and that the description given by the other surgeons of the symptoms under which he laboured, strengthened that opinion. After the post mortem examination, that gentleman, along with Mr. Morison, went to the chamber where Ann Jones, the mother, was lying, and, after some time had passed in mak ing inquiries, she expressed a desire that the nurses should leave the room, which they having done, and the only parties present being Messrs. Pierpoint and Morison, the ailing woman's father, and her little boy, the fifth sufferer, but who is now convalescent, she said that a thing had occurred to her in the last night which she had forgotten to tell the doctor (meaning Mr. Morison) in the morning, which was that her husband had brought home from his master's an old watering pan. There was a number of rags filling up the holes in the bottom. She had washed the pan and drawn the water used in the house on Monday and Tuesday in it from the well; it was now lying in the well, the string hav ing broke, and she was afraid it was in such pans they mixed the arsenic for the seed wheat. The poor woman, in reply to further inquiries, stated that she had found something adhering to the bottom of the pan, like bean meal. Having obtained this clue to the appalling calamity, no time was lost in searching the well ; in it the old watering pan was discovered, and Mr. Rowberry, who manages Mr. Essex's sowing, being on the jury, at once identified the pan as one in which for years he had mixed the arsenic for the seed wheat liquor, but which he had laid aside last year as worn out. The mother of the ill-fated family still lives, but remains dangerously ill. We are glad however to say that one life, that of the boy, may now be considered safe from this fright ful visitation • and we earnestly en treat the a ttention of farmers to the necessity which this fatal history shows of their dealing more carefully with so mortals poison than it appears they are now in the habit of doing. itco-No. fitiar,to Standard-office, Three o'clock --.~-:- LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tnis D (From Messrs. R. MAKIN 84^ SONS' Circular.) The only change ia the import duties for the ensuing week is a decline upon Foreign Rye to Bs. per quarter. In consequence of boisterous winds for some days past, we have scarcely anything up Coastwise, and except a mode rate quantity of Oatmeal, the supplies from Ireland into this port since Tuesday, are small ; those fresh in from abroad consist merely of a few parcels of Canadian Wheat, Pease, and Flour, 1,000 barrels of the latter from the United States, with 2,380 qrs European Wheat, and 1,200 qrs Beans from Egypt. The prevalence of extremely heavy rain, more or less daily, continues to constitute the character of the weather, still rendering the cultivation of the soil, previously overcharged with wet, wholly impracticable around us; thereby exciting apprehensions for the safety of that portion of the Wheat seed already in the ground, compriSing in this part of the country little more than half the quantity first intended to be sown, and delaying all further operations upon the land to an indefinite period. . . Although we are unable to report any extensive business in free produce between the close of Tuesday's market and to-day, the preceding facts appear to have given afirmer tone to the trade, and for Wheat and Flonr in bond, inquiries have been more generaVresulting in the sale of several car goes of the former tolarrive. Upon a very slender attendance of: buyers at our:Corn Exchange to-day, the demand for English, Irish, and foreign free Wheats was limited in amount ; but without the slight est abatement of confidence on the part of holders the full rates of Tuesday were maintained, and in addition to the sales made for consumption here, about 2000 bushels were again taken for Irish account. States and Canadian Flour, duty paid, moved off rather more freely at an improvement )f 6d per brl ; but English snd Irish continuing to be neg ected, *hardly supported late prices. Some further purchases of Mediterranean Wheat, on the passage, have been reported, and a cargo of Barletta, on the spot has been sold to-day at is 4d per 70 lbs. - - - Malting Barley, upon a very dull sale, receded Is. per quarter, but in grinding samples or in malt we have no change to note.—Beans and Pease were in moderate request and ra- ther dearer. Oats, still commanding very little notice, scarcely sup ported their previous value. Oatmeal was held upon somewhat higher terms, but no general advance being obtainable, few sales were effected.

Of the 23 to be tried for misdemeanor, 5 can neither read nor write. 9 can read and write imperfectly, 5 read imperfectly, 3 read and write well, and 1 concerning whose literary acquirements nothing is stated. FLOATING FIRE ENGINES. - Mr. Ward called the atten tion of the town-council, at the meeting on Wednesday, to the propriety of establishing a 'floating fire-engine at this port. Since then we have learned from our Sunderland con temporary, the Norther Times, that a floating tire-engine, built by Messrs. Tilly, London, was exhibited for trial, by being put into operation on the river Wear, on Thursday se'nnight. It is the property of the shipowners, but its use, we understand, will not be confined to the shipping alone. Its utility in eases of fires in the town was fully evinced on that occasion, by the pipes having been led up Russell-street, and the water thrown over the houses on the south side of High-street—a height of upwards of 120 feet.—Hull Times. DREADFUL FLOOD.—We cannot recollect a more tem pestuous night, since the 6th of January, 1839, than that of last evening. During the day the rain came down heavily, accompanied by frequent gusts of wind. As the evening advanced, a very strong gale arose from the south-east. To wards 8 o'clock, the flat of the city became inundated with a flood, caused by high tides and the great fall of rain during the day. A river flowed through the principal streets ; and in many houses on Hammond's Marsh the water was four feet deep at least. The flood completely subsided at nine o'clock. The rain descended in torrents during the whole of last night, and the greater part of this morning. We have not received any reports of casualities from our sea port correspondents, which leads us to entertain a hope that the gale was confined to our city.—Cork Examiner of Friday. SUICIDE IN CONSEQUENCE OF DESTITUTION.—On Tues day week, a poor man, named Samuel Ogden, put a period to his existence by a dose of opium, under circumstances which induce the belief that he was rendered insane by destitution. He resided at No. 3, Fairfield-court, Grey-street, Charlton upon-Medlock, and had been unable to procure employment, except a few trifling jobs, for the last twelve months. He had sold all his furniture, in order to procure subsistence : and for the last two months, he had not even a bed to lie on. In consequence of this, he had not, during that period, taken of his cloths day or night. He slept at night on the bare laths of his bedstead, with nothing but a coverlid over him ; and had been frequently without food for three days in suc cession. TOKEN OE RESPECT TO MARK HUISH, ESQ. — We under derstand that a valuable and very handsome memorial is about to be presented to Mr. Huish, as a mark of the admiration and respect in which he was held while connected, as Secretary with the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Railway. The memorial is the workmanship of Mr. James Muirbead, jeweller, Buchanan-street, and it does him infinite credit. It is an elegant silver stand for a clock, the base being in the form of a tripod, richly chased with scrolls of the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock, and the arms of Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock, with suitable inscriptions engrav en thereon. On the plinth are two beautiful modelled figures, representing the godesses Pomona and Flora, supporting an elabrotely chased wreath of silver scrolls and leaves, in the centre of which is a patent lever clock, with a very chaste gold dial, the whole being covered with a glass shade. The design is ex ceedingly beautiful, and the matter altogether does much honour to all concerned.—Glasgow Paper EXTENSIVE ADULTERATION OF GINGER. — On Tuesday week, Mr. Harding, solicitor, applied to D. Maude, Esq., at the Borough Court, for a summons against Mr. Edward Lee, of No. 5, Gaylor-street, Oldham-road, to answer a charge of selling ginger adulterated with gypsum, or plaster of Paris. A specimen of the adulterated ginger was pro duced by Inspector Irwin, and was said to be much heavier than the genuine article. Mr. Harding stated that Mr. Lee had been in the habit of sending to the School Mills a quan tity of ginger to be ground, and at the same time a quantity of plaster of Paris to be mixed with the ginger. The case to which the attention of the court was called occurred on the 17th of November, when he sent down half a hundred weight of ginger to be ground. He afterwards brought about three quarters of a hundred weight of gypsum for the purpose of mixing with the ginger. The proprietors of the mill informed him that they could not allow this. However, he mixed the deleterious substance with the ginger, and took it away. The proportions of the mixture were half a hundred weight of ginger and three quarters of a hundred weight of planter of Paris. Other ingredients were added to restore the colour and strength. Mr. Maude said this was a criminal case, and a bill of indictment would be preferred against Lee at the quarter sessions. — Manchester Guardian. NEW SOUTH WALES, James, (216) B.

Kerry is more reluctant than any county in Ireland to col lect the O'Connell tribute. There is no return as yet from any of its parishes. PENRHYN CASTLE.—Penrhyn Castle is constructed on a magnificent scale, in the boldest style of castellated archi tecture, chiefly from designs by Hopper, ably blending with its ancient S axon an d N orman or d ers a ll the modern inte rior accommodations and comforts. The new edifice, built of grey Mona marble, presents an extensive range of build ings, surmounted by lofty towers, some of which are circu lar, while the keep,—in which are the domestic apartments of the proprietor,—and another of the principal towers are square, with the addition of angular turrets. Partially screened by surrounding woods of the most luxuriant growth, through the extent of which the Ogwen winds its way to the sea, the effect as it is approached, is at once pic turesque and imposing; and the elegant and superb character of the internal decorations, chiefly its outward a ground- wor k of the finest marble, corresponds with ts outward ma gn ifi cence. The whole of the accessories, the lodges, and e n t rances to the park, with its walls and massive gateways, are o n th e same extensive plan, the walls comprising a circuit of not less than seven miles. An elegant chapel, hot and cold baths upon the beach, ou tbuildings, &c., altog e th er serve to convey the idea of some royal establishment, rather than the quiet abode of a wealthy commoner .of Great B r i ta i n.— From Iloscoc's North Wales, new edit i on. i OJI Wheat, White, per 75113,4 Ditto, Red Ditto Malting. , „ Ditto, new Barley, per 38qts 0at5..,.. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 8 There was much about the same supply of cattle at market to day, but of Sheep it was better. The demand it was pretty good, just sufficient to clear the market, and at prices varying little, if any, from those of last week, Best Beef 6d to 60, middling sid to 6d ; best Mutton 6id to 73d, Ewes, &c.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 8 The business is very limited this morning, and the prices dull at the rates of the last market day. The samples are generally wet and inferior in quality, particularly the Irish Oats, which are almost unsaleable in the London trade. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 7 We have to notice another very dull market for all descriptions of grain, with a further decline of is per barrel on Wheat, and 3d per do. on Oats. The sales for Oatmeal continues very languid, yet holders are very firm in their demand for last rates. Bakers' Flour extremely dull at a reduction of Is per cwt. BIRMINGHANI CORN MARKET. DEC. 8 During the present week the Wheat trade has assumed a limier aspect, and though few transactions have occurred, last week's prices are fully maintained. Malting Barley continues depressed, and to effect sales lower rates must be submitted to; grinding dull. Oats move slowly at former currency. Beans is per qr. cheaper. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEc. 9 The increase of demand noticed by us on Monday has not con tinued, and the daily business has dwindled down to 3000 bales again, with a very flat and gloomy market, yet Cotton is not cheaper. Holders manifest no anxiety to sell, and yet a fair market price, only yielding an id now and then to close sales of large shipments. HULL CORN MARKET, DEC. 7 A great • deal of rain has fallen during the week, and the land is so much saturated that what remains of the Wheat unsown. will have to w..it until spring. There is more confidence shewn in the trade ; and although the business passing in old foreign Wheat con tinues extremely limited, yet our quotations are fully maintained when sales are made. For Spring Corn there has scarcely been an inquiry during the week. There has been a slow demand for both Rape and Linseed, and our top quotations are with difficuly made, even for the best qualities ; while secondary runs are difficult to quit. Linseed cake in fair demand, and at rather improving prices. Rape cake lower, and but little doing. For to.days's market the shew of farmers' Wheat, although not large, is more abundant than last week—the condition generally very indifferent—low qualities are bad to quit, but any parcels that are in good or decent condition are taken at fully last week's prices. More firmness is shewn by holders of old foreign, and the best parcels are held at rather improved rates. Oats and Beans are both dull, and lower prices would have to be taken could sales to any extent be made. The few parcels of really fine malting Barley that are offering being fully last week's prices, and are sought after by our town malsters ; secondary qualities, of which the great bulk offering con sists, are almost unsaleable. Today the weather is fine and dry. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCII A.NGE, DEC. 7. The arrivals of Grain and!Flour into this port since Tues day last, are inconsiderable ; of Oats, Eowever, a fair sup ply has passed up the river to Runcorn from Ireland, and we have to note a further large accession of Oatmeal thence, part of which has gone in the same direction. At our market this morning the appearance of a tolerable number of country buyers seemed to impart more stability to the trade for the best kind of Wheat than for some weeks past, especially for superior qualities of lower Baltic red, which realized 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. above the rates of this day week. The general runs of Foreign were rather dearer, and in the former a fair extent of business was transacted. Of Wheat from the neighbouring farmers more samples were shown than heretofore since harvest, which, with the best descriptions of Irish, commanded somewhat higher prices, whilst the damp and inferior parcels of each re mained nearly unsaleable. English and Irish Flour, being nearly without demand, must be considered rather cheaper ; but prime brands of Foreign, although not in lively request, were the turn dearer. Malting Barley and Malt moved off slowly at a decline of Is per qr., and grinding Barles hardly maintained our last quotations.—Beans and Peas remained unvaried.
