POOR-LAW SONNETS. (From Blackwood's Magazine for April. ) THE WIFE'S REMONSTRANCE. Good Master Parson Justice : man and wife Were I and Simon, by your honour join'd Some thirty years ago. Mo mortal coiu'd The curse: 'twas taken from the Book of Life, On those should part us. Methinks Satan's knife Alone can cut that knot. Hath he purloin'd The page, and you consent ? Or is't enjoin'd That ye oe ministers of love or strife ? 0, Simon, let us lie down in one grave ! We ask for bread; they offer worse than stones. We'll take with us the blessing that God gave— Hard law, with little care about our bones— And not e'en death shall part us ; for we trust To rise again together from one dust. THE RUINED MOTHER. 0 curse,' is the law that lends its aid To full-blown villany to crush the weak ! Poor Simon's (laughter Jane, a flow'ret meek, Alas ! no wife, a wretched mother made : Scone(' in her poverty and shame, dismay'd, Slewn both herself and babe. Young Farmer Sleek Pass'd by while in the cold trench were laid ! "It broke his heart ?" "He had no heart to break." " Nor would maintan his own ?" "It is the law Young Farmer Sleek approved it, and could quote ; Nor Parson Conscience there could find a flaw. He aw'd the Vestries; gave a liberal vote; Brawl'd for Iteforms"—" There ends the tale." Yet more— Young Fanner Sleek is Guardian of the Poor, PARISH SICK AND PARISH DOCTOR. " Poor Simon's sick." " Then for the Doctor send." " The Union Doctor ? He lives far away— Seven miles, and has seven parishes, they say, And his own private practice to attend. Besides, Sick Simon has no idle friend, Where all must work ; nor has he pence to pay ; Nor comes the Doctor without order penn'd By the Overseer—and this is market-day. " Then there's for med'cine fourteen miles to go, As if the Poor had lacqueys everywhere And the Relieving-officer will know When Simon's dead. He should have better fare. And Simon dreams they're apt to cut the thread, Who farm the Parish sick three farthings by the head." TilE UNION wORKIIOuSE. Nature was strong, and Simon did not die; He had no Union Doctor; but the Poor, When he was up, and sunn'd him at his door, Or came to chat, or chatted passing by. And sometimes brighter beamed the old man's eye, When the good Parson kindly cross'd his floor. Thus life with neighbourhood and kindness wore. A stalling look—and cheered him on to die. Then come the Union Law. Draw❑ in a cart To a far distant Workhouse—there confined; No neighbour to drop in and cheer his heart ; No village sunshine on his face—he pined— Without a crime condeinn'd—imprisoted—died— And thus th' unconscious Law one charity supplied. THE POOR MAN'S BURIAL. • }l.O l . contract coffins for the Parish Poor, Eight shillings each, complete with shroud and nails ! " An please sour Honour, stop within the rails, Poor Simon's scarce will reach the big church door." " Not take him into Choral !" "It will not held, Thu' we have patched it up;' " I hear no hell." " Your Honour, the New Laws won't have it toll'd." " What! stent a Poor Man's soul a parting knell ?" " Go, tell his Lordship that old Simon's dead, And now they bury him, whose honest hands Plough'd, sow'd, and reap'd—his Lordship ate the bread ; Bid him repeal harsh laws, that Heaven his lands slay bless—Gull's poor not unregarded sleep ; Tell hiui new hands may sow, and God given aught to reap."

Plain Tracts. for Critical Time.r. By a Union of Clergymen. Parts I.—V. London : Smith, Elder, and Co. 183 g. This series of tracts has been long looked for, and will be hailed with delight by all those who believe in the strictly evangelical doc rines of the Church of t ngland. They are designed to counteract the semi-popish ten dency of the celebrated Oxford track, which have done so much injury to the cause of " pure and undefiled re ligion," by casting stumbling-biocks in the way of those who are apt to he led away by " divers and strange doctrines." These " Plain Tracts for Critical Times" are intended to illustrate generally the true doctrine of scripture. the Christian Fathers, aryl the Established Church, on the important subjects of baptism and re generation. The arguments deduced from scripture and from the offices of the church, in support of th, views pit forth by'.liens t rants, appear to us most conclusive. To those who really wish to know what the true doctrine of the Church of En7land is, in reference to these vital topics, we earnestly recommend the candid perusal of these tracts.

Yesterday an adjourned sp,cial meeting of the Town Council was held in the Town-hall, at Eleven o'clock. DOCK COMMITTEES, The Deputy TowN-cLatik first read over the proceedings of the above committee. 'I be report embodied a resolution of toe committee to make an application to Parliament for a bill to enable them to erect WAREHOUSES ON THE DOCK QUAYS. The MAYORS said, before they entered upon the debate on this subject, the Town-clerk would address to theca a few obser vations. _ . . The TOWN-CLERK said it appeared to him, the last time he addressed them on that subject, as it did at that moment, that the erection of the warehouses in question, for which it was re quisite to obtain powers from Parliament, was not within the legal powers of the Dock Committee. He was still of the same opinion. By the act of 1811, 51st Geo. 3, the Mayor, Alder men, and Bailiffs of the Common Council were first erected into a corporation udder the title of Trustees to the Liverpool Docks, It was a corporation distinct from that of the town, wbich consists of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses, while the other was the Mayor, Aldermen, and Bailiffs. By the act of 1811, they were the first corporation under the title of Trus tees of the Docks. Then it was that the Dock Committee was appointed a committee of the members of the council. By the act of 1825, eight rate-payers were admitted, and all the powers of the previous committee were determined. The act proceeded to enact all the powers of the new committee. They would ob serve that all the power would be vested in the trustees of the docks, and that any power that was given to the committee was from the trustees. y By the act of 1825, it was determined, that in order to carry into effect the provisions of that act, a com mittee of twenty-one persons should be elected, to be called the Committee of the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks, to use and exercise the several purposes vested in the said trustees. It was plain that the powers vested in the committee were the powers to carry into effect the several purposes of the act. The next section said all their acts should be final and conclusive, if not set aside at the Council (by two-thirds of the members present,) to be held not more than one week from the tune of passing the committee. It was easy to see that to proceed lawfully, they must be authorised by the Council. The resolution with regard to the erection of warehouses was a resolution for that which was out of the Council, and it was a resolution to obtain further power. In going into that matter (speaking legally) Dock Committee bad gone beyond their authority. They had no right to go beyond the acts. There was nothing in this view of the subject that was at all peculiar to the Municipal act. The view would have been the same if the Municipal act had never passed. The authority would have been vested in the Common Council for the time being. In looking into the act they could not help observing the cautious manner in which it was constructed, and he thought his view was the same as the framer of the act. A modern act of Parliament was not to be expounded according to the usuage under the act; it was to be expounded according to the plain and legal meaning. There was no usage under this act that could at all affect the legal construction. He was pre pared to state, that this did not rest altogether upon his opinion. lie had taken the opinion of others, but it would probably de pend upon the decision of that day, what mode of procedure would be ultimately adopted. The MAYOR then put the question, as to whether the report should be adopted. Mr. Boons said as one of the committee, he rose to oppose the passing of that part of the report which related to the building of warehouses on the Dock Quays. As he had stated in his place in that committee, he was willing to afford evey facility to the speedy apd easy performance of the work on the Dock Quays. without touching injuriously the property of the corpo tion, or that of private individuals. He would not rest his op position to the scheme on this: that if it were followed up, it would injure, not only the property of private individuals, but also the property constituting the Corporate Estate. On what grounds did they rest their right to move in making this altera tion ? Had there been any large meeting of the commercial community, expressing a wish for such alteration ?—had any strong wish been expressed in any quarter?—or any opinion that the present warehousing system was not sufficient? No ! there had been nothing of the sort, with the exception of one memorial which had come into the Council on the preceding week. The names to that memorial he could not deny were exceedingly respectable, but it was singular enough, that there was scarcely one signature of a person who possessed real pro perty in the town. There was on the other side a memorial from persons who had large properties, individuals who were identified with the real and lasting prosperity of this commu nity. It had been said, that those who opposed this scheme, were instigated by interested and selfish motives. In such a case where the prosperity of individuals was bound up in the prosperity of the town. they had a right to be interested, they could not avoid it. It was proper that they should under such circumstances be interested. If this were the right and duty of individuals, how much more was it so of the Council ! He trusted they would pause before they gave their votes against that which it was their duty to watch over anti to cherish. Mr. Booth concluded, by moving that part of the report which re solved upon an application to parliament, for power to erect warehouses on the Dock Quays, be not confirmed. Mr. CRAWFORD LOGAN seconded the motion. The M Avoit proposed as the more convenient course, that they should confirm all the rest of the proceedings, before they went further with the discussion of the question which had been opened by Mr. Alderman Booth. A slight discussion arose as to whether the legal opinions al luded to by the Town-clerk should be read. Mr. EA RLE was of opinion that as the Town-clerk was their legal adviser, it was incumbent on them to take the law front him. It was ultimately decided that the opinions alluded to should be read before the debate proceeded further. The TOWN-CLERK said he thought that in a matter of such, importance, he bad done right in taking the opinions of coun sel. He had done so since he communicated his own opinion to them at the last meeting in the preceding week. The Town clerk said he would first read the instructions to advise, which he did. The following was MR. WIGHTMAN'S OPINION. _ " By the 6th Geo., ‘l, cap. 187, sec. 3, provision is made for the appointment of a committee to carry into execution the powers and authorities by the several Dock Acts, and that act, vested in trustees, and the management and conducting of their estate and interest in the said trust; and by section 4, the reso lutions of the committee are to be final. — "lied by a :„. ~..tees or members of the Common Council, present at a meeting held us directed by this act. But the resolutions of this committee which require a majority of two-thirds of the trustees or council to annul them, must be such as are within the authority of the committee, which is to carry into execution the powers and authorities of the Dock Acts. The resolutions in questions in question, however, are not within any of the powers and authorities given by the Dock Acts, and it therefore appears to me that the acts of the Town Council, who are ex-officio trustees, ought, with respect to the resolutions in question, to be governed 13y the same rules that are in force with respect to any other acts to be done by them. Before the passing of the Municipal Corporation Act, the Town Council would have acted by a majority, and by the 69th section of that act, the council still acts by a. majority. 1 assume that the erection of warehouses on the dock quays is not warranted by any of the Dock Acts, and is beyond the authority of the trus tees." The following was, on the same instruction, the OPINION OF Aikt. CRESSWELL. "1 am of opinion that the powers vested in the Dock Com mittee are such as are requisite for the execution and earr!,ing; into effect of the several purposes of Deck Acts, and do not ex tend beyond them. The erection of warehouses isnot a matter provided for by any of those acts, and therefore is, as it seems to me, beyond the scope of the authority vested in the commit tee. The Town Council, therefore, acting as Duck Trustees, are not bound to deal with any suggestion coming from the com mittee as a matter affected by the Dock Acts, but as a matter submitted to their judgment and to be dealt with by them ac cording to the mode prescribed by the sth and 6th Wm. 4, cap. 76, for the exercise of their corporate authority." The MA yuct said, after mature thought and consultation with the Town-clerk, he had resolved that this question nmst be de either way, by a majority in the usual manner. This was the opinion at which he arrived, and the Dock Committee would, in regard to this question, be treated as any other committee of the council. Mr. BIRCH said, this was, perhaps, the most important ques tion that had come before them, that it would be well, therefore, that they give it close and attentive consideration. It involved, not only the interests of a larger body of their fellow-townsmen. but also the prosperity of the corporate estate, and the character and conduct of the Council as the chosen trustees thereof. It appeared that the Dock Trustees. iu the laudable desire to ex tend the facilities of businogs, had not well considered what would he the effect of the mode which they had fixed upon for so doing. They had given exclusive attention to one interest, w h;co was the Dock estate; and, he thought he wes justified in saying this, because a body of men who poesessed a large stake in the property of the town had not had one opportunity of urging their interests. This being the case, it was doubly in cumbent ou the Council to give to the warehouse owners that degree of protection to which they were entitled. At the last meeting of the Council, it was shown, that upon a mere rumour of the intention of extending the bonding system to inland towns, the Finance Committee were authorised to take measures even to send a deputation to look after the interests involved. Upon what principle did they proceed in that matter ? Why, that the extending of the bonding system must endanger the value of the vast warehouse property in this town. Did not this amount to a plain and distinct declaration on the part of the Council that they considered themselves the guardians of the warehouse property of the town ? And would they abandon a principle which they had distinctly laid down ? It was stated, that there was no foundation for • the alarm of the warehouse owneis • that this was a mere experi me nt, a n d that th e buildings would be so inconsiderable that they could not affect the interests of the warehouse owners. lie understood that the buildings were to cover thirty-three thousand superficial yards. This was an extent of 31- Cheshire acres. They would soon ascertain the fact that these buildings would be equal to 20 of the largest warehouses in Liverpool. Besides, the matter would not stop here. It was the application of a new principle upon a limited scale, and if found to answer, it would go on to other docks. They were told that the erection of new warehouses would con tribute to bring them new trade. Ile could not see how this was, nor had he heard any attempt to give proof of it. He could easily see how new trade would bring warehouses, but the con verse of the proposition he confessed was be‘ond iris compre hension. It appeared that one-half the land that warehouses were not built upon, was held in leases under the corporation. If at once they depreciated that land, 30 per cent. in value, they would destroy a large portion of the Corporate estate. It was only last year that they obtained an act of parliament to add 1.:-100,000 to the Corporate debt, and to that they were about to add this loss by the depreciation of the property. Ile hoped he might be aliowed to remind the Council that, with the exception of a freehold building here and there, the total of the property, commencing at Water-street and going southwatd, was built upon land leased from the Corporation. A very considerable proportion of that land had been leased under the express stipu lation that warehouses should be erected upon it. It was only a few days back that a gentlemen had requested permission at the Town-hall to be permitted to build offices on some of this land, and he was informed that such permission could not be granted, as the land had been leased under the stipulation that ware houses alone should he built upon it. The very fact of such a stipulation, implied a mutual obligation, to perform a certain stipulation on the one hand, and to protect on the other.— (Hear.) There was no chance for the public in competition with the Dock Trust, and against such a competition the Coun cil were hound to protect them. What would be said then, if after such contracts they themselves became the competitors ? It would be monstrous. If they confirmed these resolutions, they would become principals in the transaction. He was not much accustomed to speak in praise of the old self-elected mem- . hers of the corporation, but he must say that in all their deal ings with the public, they were guided by consistancy and a regard for individual interest. As a member of that body, he hoped they would do nothing incompatible with the character and honour of an assembly that had been freely chosen by the people. He should support the motion of Mr. Booth. Mr. LEATHOM said, he would submit to them some of the rea sons which had induced the Dock Committee to come to those resolutions. The question of Dock-room was one that had come frequently before the committee. There had been much diffi culty on this subject, as they had been obliged to give up the Trafalgar Dock and the Clarence Duck to the steamers. Com plaints had been made in the Prince's Dock of the crowded state of the vessels. It became a question with them, how they were to remedy the inconvenience, without insuring the enormous expense of constructing new docks. The best mode seemed to ' he, to facilitate as much as possible the discharoing and loading of vessels. The expense of constructing new docks had been enormous, the whole cost or the Prince's dock having been not less than £120,000. In the Clarence dock they had scarcely a remuneration for the outlay, in the small cute of tonnage which the vessels paid in proportion to the room which they occupied. The steamer St. Patrick for instance, paid only £7, when, in proportion to the room which she took up, it ought to be £3O. Other vessels paid low in the same proportion, so that the returns of the Clarence dock were not one per cent. on the outlay. The erection of warehouses on the quays seemed to be the best mode of obviating the inconvenience, and preventing the delays which occurred. Mr. Leathom went on to draw some comparisons between the despatch with which vessels were discharged in London, in comparison to Liverpool. A Jamaica ship of 300 tons, he said was in St. Catharine's Dock discharged in a day and a half, and in the East India Dock in one day. The con trast was very great, and these considerations had stimulated the Dock Committee to bring forward their plan. Several state ments had been made out of doors, that the Dock Committee had proceeded recklessly as regarded the interests of private individuals. This he thought was unfair. Those who had brought forward such statements, ought to rut - ileao,er that the Dock Com mittee were not shareholders in the dock estate. They were not contractors, nor had they any interest whatever in the mat ter. Mr. BENN said they proposed to build warehouses in which goods could be discharged. The trade in indigo seas fast-falling off, in consequence of their not having room for its display. It was necessary also that parties should be assured that their goods were in a place of safety, for pilfering took place to an enormous extent. It had been said that the Custom-house would take care that bonded packages were not pilfered, but in the articles of indigo the duty was paid on the import weight, so that the Customs did not care how such packages-were pilfered. The traoe in shell-lac, indigo, and cochineal, had gone almost entirely from this port. Parties would not purchase it here on account of the insecurity. Light was also especially necessary for the examination of the article, and there was not a warehouse in Liverpool where it could be properly exhibited.—(oh !) If warehouses were on the dock quays, when they wanted to put goods on board they had nothing to do but place the ship along side the warehouse. In London the loading or discharge of a vessel was accomplished in a very short time. Here the system of warehousing contracted much trouble. They had to look from place to place, and probably at last found goods that ought to be kept perfectly dry, stowed away in a damp cellar. The buyers of indigo would not, at this port, pay the deposit of ten per cent. and the warranty of the goods were handed about from one to another like bank notes. The goods were, in fact, as safe as possible from pilferage and damage ; here it was not so. A large proportion of the Brazil trade was drawn from Liverpool, and of those ships that proceded from hence to Rio, there was not one that did not return to London. In London, last year, 37,000 boxes of goods were imported from Havana: here only 800 were imported. If we could bring our expenses below those of London, we should get a large proportion of those goods, as we - had many superior advantages which were not possessed by London. The Dock Committee had a very important duty to perform, which was, to give a facility to the performance of business at the docks. It appeared that within four years there had been built 141 warehouses. They proposed now to build 15. In the course of the same time that it would take them to build 15, more than these would otherwise have been built by private individuals, and why not by the Dock Committee ? The measure would prove beneficial to Yorkshire and Lancashire, as well as to Liverpool, and would be productive of general good; and he hoped the council would look to the general good. Mr. EARLE said, he should he sorry to say that the Dock Trustees wished to injure the interests of the owners of ware house property. He thought, however, if any of them had been owners of warehouse property, they would have endeavoured to have seen whether there was any other mode of facilitating the business of despatching vessels. They said at first that they were just going to erect a shed, and now Mr. Benn talked of the warehouses of St. Catherine's Dock. This was just what they called putting in a wedge, he knew what it was very well. (Laughter.) Mr. BOLTON said the question was, what would be for the general good of the town of Liverpool. Mr. Birch had alluded to the character and honour to the council if that were per mitted to be done. The proposed warehouses would cost £60,000, call it £lOO,OOO. That would give them 1-40th of the property already existing, and it would be for the increased facility in sampling and sorting. They possessed all these great advantages in London, while London was taking from us the trade which we ought to have. There was no doubt but the trade of Liverpool would rally, and become vigorous after the depression occasioned by the great restraint on the American trade had passed away, and then the demand for an increase of warehiyuse accommodation would be as great as ever. Mr. J. SMITH said, the present question involved matters of great interest to the people of this town. He regretted that they had not paused before they had entered upon anything so ruinous to the public. Such a measure must influence to a ruinous extent the warehouse property of the town. The cor poration of Liverpool should not come forward to compete with builders in the market, nor did he think this was a legitimate mode of applying the funds of the Dock Committee. If there was any surplus, they should apply it to the reduction of the tonnage duties, which would do more to induce ships to come to our port than any measure like this. (Hear.) Mr. CURRIE thought it would be well to inquire if the evil complained of, respecting the warehousing system in Liverpool could not be corrected by better management. If it could not, he thought they would experience but little effect from the erection of fifteen warehouses as proposed. It was his wish to protect the interests of the corporation, and he certainlydid not think that the reasons offered in favour of the measure were of' sufficient weight to justify an application to Parliament. Mr. WOOD said, vessels were very frequently detained from want of quay berths. He thought if the Dock Committee were to alter rates of tonnage, it would prove more beneficial than the measure in question. Mr. EVANS said Mr. Nelson Wood was, no doubt, an au thority. He (Mr. Evans) had been supplied with letters and a certificate, one from Mr. Dyson, and another from a- nautical gentleman, and he was able to bring Mr. Aiken and many other gentlemen, to prove that what was done in London in from two to four days, could not in Liverpool be tinder a month. They •-ss., %Loy ~iscitnnen Of the highest respectabil i ty. He had had a letter ft om Mr. Thornelv, who said the difference was enormous. In the London docks they could do the same tonnage in four, in the St. Catherine's in three, and in the West India in two days. The advantages of the scheme, and the benefit to the public, was clear. Mr. Birch had said that the character of the council was involved. It was, and he hoped they would not be content with being merely the owners of local property. He agreed with Mr. Birch that they were the guardians of the rights of the public, and he hoped they would not misunderstand him when he came to talk of the warehouse owners, for he had been employed for some time past in endeavouring to discover what were their rights in law and equity. The were a part of the community under the care of the council. He had not overlooked that. He would have them to have their real rights, but he would not give his sanction to their possessing fictitious rights at the cost of the community at large. For novelty in argument he had looked in vain as regarded Oils question. It was to him like a needle in a bottle of straw. He had not beard anything said that had not been repeated over and over again for nine years past. The first thing that was forced upon them was the injury the corpo rate estate would receive from the plan. The corporation estate was an estate perpetual, and not the lucky hit of a few weeks. It was property fur all time. It was derived not from the ex citement of a moment, not from the absence or plenty of money, but from the prosperity of the public at large. There was a time, not long since, when -property within six miles of Liver pool would have been sold by the acre; now, if they only went over the water, they would find it sold by the yard or foot, and it would fetch more thousands of pounds per acre than a few years ago it would have done hundreds. When they saw such indications of prosperity externally, whatmust be the effect more at home? An external pressure upon the centre that must maintain the value of the corporate estate to all time. He might allude to Bath-street, much of it was offered at El per yard to Mr. Hughes, and it was now selling at twelve guineas per yard. If the rents of lands were so high that the warehouse rent would be high also, it was in vain to take off tonnage when the whole saving would go into the pockets of the warehouse owners. Now, with regard to the warehouse owners, he would ask where were their legal or equitable claims fur withholding such advantages as they had it in their power to give to the public. He found that the corporation had always retained the right of building warehouses on any of the dock quays, with the exception of the Prince's Dock. He would ask them where was the express contract which had been spoken of with the owners of warehouses. There was no such thing. They . complained that the corporation bad laid them under restrictions, but was not the land only proper for warehouses, and were not the ele vations given the proper elevations for warehouses ? It would have been just as good an argument to have said when the land was let on which the Goree-piazza's warehouses were built, that the owners of those warehouses were injured when the land at the Salthonse Dock was leased out for similar purposes. The most unreasonable claims were always made upon the public. He remembered 38 years ago, the cotton sales amounted 40800 bags per week. They were now selling 20,000. The prosperity of Liverpool would, he doubted not, by the time these ware houses were finished, be so great that it would absorb all the existing warehouse room, and there would be a want of more. The great point was to increase their wealth, increase the trade, increase the prosperity, and leave the standing property to take care of itself. Mr. Evans went on very forcibly to depict the great prosperity which he foresaw fur Liverpool, if facility were given to commerce. There was the West India trade, which lie said, he should have to contest-with London for the posses sion of, while the advantages wore insmeriliely on the side verpoot. Take away the weight, said he, and London will kick the beam. All depended on the port charges. The prospect was good. From year to year the prosperity of the port was in creasing. Liverpool seemed but a nucleus, which would grow in interminable wealth. It had withered all around it. They could offer an equivalent for wealth to any extent to the whole world, and here they were pattering about a few warehouses and a few yards of land, more or less, with such a prospect be fOre them. He agreed with Mr. Birch that the character of the council was involved. The Dock Committee had done its duty. he hoped the council would do theirs. (Applause.) Mr SHAND was of opinion that their better plan would be to parcel out the land on the quays to private individuals, and thus the evil to be feared from competition with a public body would be avoided. Mr. BROWN took a similar view, and expressed his fears of the danger to shipping, if the warehouses should take fire during a strong westerly wind. Nit-. BLACKBURN, after stating his reasons, moved the post ponement of the debate for two months, and that in the mean tore a committee would be appointed to gather information on the subject, and report to the council. It was of great import ance he said, that the most ample consideration should be given to the subject. Mr. CoGLAN seconded the amendment. Mr. JosErn Iloemtv, in allusion to what had fallen from Mr. Earle, said that he was an owner of warehouse property, and had been so ever since he possessed any property whatever. He believed the measure would rather increase the value of his warehouses than otherwise. (Hear.) Mr. BIBBY spoke at some length in favour of the resolutions of the Dock Committee. Mr. WALNISLEY read a statement showing the increase of ships tonnage to this port in 25 years. The increase from 1812 to 1837, was 10,439 ships, or 226 per cent. and 1,512.196 tons, or 338 per cent. In 1812 there were entered 4,599 vessels, averaging 97 tons each; in 1837, 15,032, averaging 130 tons each. The TOWN -CLERK, at the request of Mr Evans, read a letter addressed to Messrs. W. and J. Tvrer, from a gentleman, who stated that he had an intimate knowledge of the ports of Lon don and Liverpool, and was ready to make oath of what he stated, that vessels in London of 300 tons register, discharged 450 tons of sugar, cassia, saltpetre, rice, &c. from the East In dies, Brazil, west coast of South America, Ilavanna, &c. in two to four days. In Liverpool vessels of the same size, from the same places, would Le 21 (lays on the average. This was exclusive of the time taken up liefore the entries were passed, which on the average was stated to be about six days. A letter from Mr. Tvrer to Mr. James Aikin to the like effect was read, and it was expressed in this, that great delay arose from the importo. EAST INDIES, CAPE OF 000 D ROPE, 4,c.

The stocks of bonded Grain in the United Kingdom on the sth of March last, by the official returns, were 550,870 qrs Wheat, 245,033 qrs Oats, 35,711 qrs Barley, 9597 qrs Rye, 5299 qrs Beans, 20,934 qrs Paase, '74,728 brls Flour ; of which, about 58,000 qrs Wheat, 3000 qrs Oats. 1500 qrs Barley, 1200 qrs Beans, 600 qrs Peas e , an d 48 . 00 0 b rls of Flour are in bond here at this date ; about 36,0,0 qrs of Wheat have been exported within the last three months to British America and Canada, to which further considerable shipments are expected to be made during the spring, and there is now very little of fine quality, and no sweet Foreign Flour now left in bond here. The only altera tion in the duties in Grain from Foreign Ports this week, is a decrett+e of is per qr. on Wheat, 74d per barrel on Flour, and Is 6d per qr. on Rye. We can note no transactions in bonding Grain or Flour, (except ing a very small quantity of very good Odessa Wheat at 4s 6d, and of old Pomeranean at 5s 2d, bought for export to Halifax,) and no altera tion in the general quotations thereof. During the past week, the imports of Grain from Ireland and Coastways have been to a fair ex tent ;—sales have been more languid for every article, particularly for Wheat, the prices thereef have been barely supported. At this day's market the millers and dealers were purchasers very sparingly, and only for immediate wants, of every article in the trade ;—sales were very dull, though a small decline was pretty generally submitted to, but not sufficient to warrant any decided alteration in our last quota tions, WHEAT, 4Y 70lb d. a. d.

During the brief interval since Tuesday we have had very few ves sels into this port with any kind of Grain, either coastwise or from Ireland ; but of Flour and Oatmeal from the latter source, a further moderately fairquantity has arrived for to-day, and upon the whole, the supplies thence of late have come forward rather more freely. than, from the present high prices there, and the contracted deliveries by the growers, during seed-time, might have been expected. In consequence of to-morrow being Good Friday, our second mar ket this week was held to-day, and corresponding so intimately with the general character of the trade on Tuesday, affords very little in ducement to remark upon the limited proceedings this morning. Having no country buyers in attendance, and our local millers being generally inactive, the transactions in Wheat were few and unim portant;. the sellers, however, adhering to our last quotations, and re fusing to submit to any abatement, prices remained unvaried.—Barlev anti Malt. co,otlitued to zoo,. very .gratittaliv vatxt - tiran***ti-Pens -- slowly iiithouf any perceptible change in value.—Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country buyers, were so much neglected to-day, that, in appearance merely, late prices were scarcely end but nominally maintained.—ln Bonded Grain or Flour, since Tuesday, no sales have been repotted.

We have had a very ample supply of Beasts at market to-day, and the quality throughout has been exceedingly good, there being many prime and prize Beasts from the Dublin show last wee!:, which sold at very high prices. The Sheep have been less in number than for the two last weeks, and the demand large, which has caused an advance of 5d to 51d per lb, but principally at the latter price. Good Wether hI utton, some of which was also from the above show, sold as high as 71d, middling 7d per lb, with a few of ordinary quality at a shade less. The market on the whole may be considered a brisk our., both Beasts and Sheep being principally sold up, saving a very fear Beasts of very superior quality and large size, the prices asked for them could not he obtained, have been kept over until next week.
