By order of the Committee, DANIEL MASON, Secretary. Dock-office, Liverpool, 21st June, 1847. CHURCH PASTORAL-AID SOCIETY. MHE Committee earnestly beg the attention of their 11 friends to the following particulars. The present grants are 374 in number; 301 for clergymen, and 73 for lay-assistants : the largest number that hag ever been upon the Society's books. Unless, however, great exertions are made, the Committee will not be able to maintain tkese extended operations, much less will they be in a position to enter upon new fields of labour. The Committee have made grants to the fullest extent which the Society's present resources admit of ; and for this cause, it is obvious that, much as they are importuned to do so, they must not venture to make fresh grants without an increase of -q. The following are ten of the moat urgent cases out of the Committee regret they are presludecrat present Applicant' Income lid requested. 195 105 170 150 100 rmeet 30 for a lay-assistant. „ 40 for ditto. 60 for ditto. 60 for ditto. 80 for a second curate to have separate charge of 2000 people. for a lay-assistant. for a curate. for ditto. for a lay-assistant. for ditto.

For these grants the Committee appropriated last year of the legacy £2000; and, as the remainder of the legacy, which is invested in Long Annul ties, will only produce £5lB yearly, the Committee trust that the Christian public will give special contributions towards these particular twenty-one grants, to enable the Committee, without interfering with the general income of the Society, to defray the charge which the Scott fund is unable to bear. The Committee need not say how much may be done by the zealous co-operation of their clerical friends throughout the country, if they will but kindly exert themselves in their re spective parishes and neighbourhoods, to procure subscriptions and donations, to form Branch Associations, and to arrange for Sermons and Meetings in behalf of the Society's objects.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL GENTLEMEN, IHAVE have had the honour of receiving a commu nication inviting me to become a CANDIDATE at the ap proaching. General Election, for one of the vacancies created by the resignation of your present Members. In accepting this invitation, I feel most sensibly that I aspire at once to nearly the highest and most honourable distinction in public life ; for such an one I hold to be the representation in Parliament of a constituency so important as that of Liver pool, as well by its numbers and intellige ,as by its industry and its wealth.

The following is an extract from the second edition (page IFS) of the translation of the New Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians of London, by Dr. G. F. COLLIER, pub lished by Longman and Co.:— " It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the NEW PHARMACOPEIA) that we have no purgative medicines but what contains aloes ; yet we know that hmmorrhoidal per sons cannot bear aloes, EXCEPT it be in the form of Cockle's Pills, which chiefly consist of aloes, scammony, and colocynth, which I think are.formed into a sort of compound extract, the acridity of which is obviated, I suspect, by an alkaline process, arid by a fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better and no worse o! it for its being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not hesitate to say, it is the best made pill in the kingdom; a muscular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge com bi ne d , and their effects properly controlled by a dirigent and corrigent. That it does not com monly produce hiemorrhoids, like most aloetic pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly soluble, so that no unnissolved particles adhere to the mucous membrane of the rectum.,' NOTE.—Purchasers of Cockle's Pills ought particularly to examine the Government stamp affixed to each box, and to see that the words " JAMES COCKLE, APOTHECARY," are en graved upon it in white letters, as without this mark of authen ticity none can possibly be genuine. i _._,, COURT OF CHANCERY CORPORATION OF LIVERPOOL V.

THE TRIPLE MURDER AT MIRFIELD..---011 Saturday, the magistrates resumed the examination of the prisoners M'Cabe and Reid, charged with the recent threefold mur der at Mirfield. The evidence brought forward was much the same as that adduced before the coroner. M`Cabe, through his attorney, expressed a desire to make some statement, but as the magistrates could hold out no pro mise that his position would be better by his stating what he knew of the matter, he kept silence. At the close of the examination, the bench determined on committing only Reid for trial. Of course, M`Cabe, as well as Reid, will be arraigned on the coroner's inquisition.

MR. SAMUEL HOLME said it would allay much angry -feeling, and, perhaps, give general satisfaction, if Mr. rainley-Moo - re would explain the reason why certain of Le river steamers were not allowed the use of the new Mr. " BRAMLEY-MOORE replied, that the fear of the Dock Committee was, that if they permitted more than two or three steamers to go alongside the stage in its present state, it might be dangerous and hazardous. Until the large bridges, weighing between 200 and 300 tons, were made, to connect the pier with the stage, instead of the exceedingly ricketty bridges, which were there at present, it would be wrong to permit the different river steamers to land and embark their passengers there, and thus keep up a continual crossing and re-crossing.

[The report concluded with a resolution of the Dock Committee carrying out the foregoing reductions, and spe cifying particularly the classes of voyages on which the tonnage duties were proposed to be reduced. These will be found in an advertisement in another column.] The MAYOR.—Gentlemen, before asking the Chairman of the Dock Committee to move the confirmation of the report, resolutions, and tables of reductions on the dues of the port, which you have just heard read by the Town- Clerk, I beg leave to mention one fact. I hold in my hand a letter from Mr. Eyre Evans, written on the sub ject which is about to come before us, which he requests me to submit to you. Mr. Evans is a gentleman who has ever taken a very lively interest in all that concerns the welfare of the town and corporation, and, in particular, the welfare of the dock estate ; but still I am of opinion, notwithstanding the very high opinion which I entertain for that gentleman, that it is a very unusual course for any member of this Council to adopt in giving expression to his feelings on any subject which comes under the con sideration of this body. To addre - 3s a letter to them, it will be admitted by all, is not the proper method to adopt, particularly on an occasion of such importance as the present. (Hear, hear.) And it is also a course which, if set up for a precedent, might be the cause of very great inconvenience to the Council. (Hear.) However, gentlemen, as Mr. Evans, as we all know, has always felt very much interested in the affairs of the Dock Committee, and as we know he is a gentleman whose opinion should carry some weight with it and as I have asked the opinion - of the Chairman of the Dock Committee whether he objected to the reading of the letter, and as he has _explicitly said that "he does . . not ;" then I say I feel very much inclined to read the document to the Council. Mr. TINNE.—As it is a " Mayor's communica tion," it should be read, as I am of opinion that a mem ber of the Council has as clear a right to address the Mayor as any individual outside this Council. Mr. PARKED recording— —lt is a most unusual course to adopt in THE MAYOR.—Very unusual. Mr. PARKER.—TO adopt in recording his opinions as a member of this Council ; and a course w l •;^' - fair to those members of the Council Ni ally to the discussion of a subject frauf Iportanee to the town and trade of Lii befort li is very un- ho attend person- tt with so vital pool as the one Mr. Mayor, I am therefore of r should not be read. It is the duty in his place on an occasion to be he ; but if, instead of copal] principle of Mr. Evans, ing here, each of and claimed the would be an 'end to the trans- whether it is crest is con vans, I think, ithout the letter, I have not the slightest objection that it should be read; but, on the contrary, I wish that it should be read. I feel very much disappointed that Mr. Evans is not here himself to take a part in this debate. As a mem ber of the Dock Committee, I am strong in the feeling that the report of the Dock Committee will hP nnn4irmarl and properly managed Council for a confirma confident that, when t concurrence of thp ( fore them, that cone conceded.

Mr. BRAMLEY-MCORE then rose and said : Mr. Ma, __ , I have listened to the letter from Mr. Evans which you have just read, and when the proper time comes I shall be enabled to answer it fully. At present I can do no more than to give it a passing notice ; but when I come to that part of my statement to which the subject matter of that letter refers, I shall then notice it in detail; and in the absence of Mr. Evans,—a circumstance which I deeply regret,—l shalt endeavour to pay as much atten tion to the arguments which he has adduced,—if indeed _ they can be called argur' were here to en- force them by his presence and his eloqueneu. with peculiar feelings of pleasure and delight, that, on the present occasion, I feel it my d u t y , as Chairman of the Dock Committee, to'inove in this C ounc il f or the large, the very large reduction, which we at present propose to be made in the dock dues of our important port. But, sir, it is not for the benefit of the port of Liverpool alone that we propose this reduction, although we anticipate that it will more quickly and more immediately feel the effects of that reduction : but it is for tbo I , enpfit and the advancement of all those merce by which the peoy vast emporium of comr le L branches of trade and com- If this coutt enterprise fly live, that we portion to the reductiori which you make in your dock and harbour dues, ' will you increase the trade of those merchants and manufacturers who pay for and deal in those articles which are to be reduced. In placing this subject before you, I will first draw your at tention to the manner in which this reduction will be likely to affect the shipping interest, and, secondly, to the financial statement and the estimates on which we rely for our ability to carry out this project; and, if in dealing with the financial statement and the estimates, I should fail to establish my case, I beg you to understand that the fault will be mine,—the error will be in my inability to make myself clear on the subject, and not for any lack of good and accurate data on which to proceed. If the cause which I now have the honour to advocate should unfortunately miscarry in the hands of a feeble pleader, it will, of course, be for the Council to reject, if they choose, the entire scheme; but if, on the other hand, the accur acy of the principle which the Doc;: _Committee seek to establish should be demonstrated 4.- bly, and unmistakably bare— .Iv, inte - hen I cor tly call upon you for a confirmat them, that principle WI their pro iit" to its hill tse the trade, extent, will be carculat commerce, and prosperity of the port more thantny act of this Council during the past ten years. But whether the Council adopt the proposed reduction or not, I feel strongly in the opinion that the proceedings of the Dock Committee have been grounded on views the most sound and correct by which mercantile men could be guided. As regards this reduction of course ther e w ill b e a diver sity of opinion on those items which will be brought be fore you—it is natural that it should be so—and as we do not propose, at present to reduce the dues on all arti",les admitted into the port, some will be found to find faul' with this part of our plan and some with that ; bu things considered I am of opinion that we have selec, out of the mass those articles, any reduction on which— no matter however small—will operate as a benefit to trade and the working classes of the town and country. Before proceeding to the consideration of the main fea tures of my statement, allow me sir, to notice one or two of the observations made by Mr. llornby. With regard to the notice to the public, I may say that in the first in stance notice was given to the public that cert.- in reduc- tions would be made in the dock rates after a certain date—that notice was a public one and was intended for all the world. After that the various interests likely to be affected by our project entered into communication with us—the Iron interest, the Cotton interest, the Coal interest, and the Salt interest communicated with us, and from them we learned the feeling of the several interests likely to be affected by the alteration ; and having acquired all the information which we could glean from every authentic source, we founded our resolutions ac cordingly. In calling attention to this branch of the subject, I might, if I chose, pay a compliment to the dock committee for the consideration which they mani fested for the interests of trade, as evinced in the small amount which they have taken off the shipping as com pared with the facilities afforded for the import and export of all goods calculated to advance the manufactures or the enterprise of this port. A very large reduction is pro posed to be made on the article of co tt on ; an d why ? For the best of reasons. It is a leading article in the manufactures of this country, it is raw material which we cannot ourselves produce, but which deeply affects the town and trade of Liverpool. It is an article on the manufacture of which a large portion of the people of this country depend; and the more facilities you give to the free importation of an article like cotton, the more yon will increase the trade of the town. ( Hear , hear, hear.) It has been urged that it is the only article which pays no duty coming into the port, and, therefore, that it should not be reduced. That, however, is not my opinion ; and if you were to take the manufacturers of Lane- \at every _ n of the raw material is general. It is well cotton, the Americans can as a fair criterion you would find t no matter how small in itself—t a boon conferred on th known that, in heavy fab r centage-- cut us out ; and I know that, if you approximate as closely as you can to their rates, you will be enabled the more effectually to compete with them in any foreign market to which you may send your goods. You are aware that in such a case, where the labour required in the manufac ture is but small, that even a fraction per cent. on the raw material is an advantage, nufacturer. With regard to occupy your attention for even a moment posed reduction will be very IC ' fifteen pence on long voyages i , to the r It is unnecessar The pro: Inaeea ly one- what is charged in most of tl come to the article of coal, the rates en which are proposed to be reduced to one penny per ton. This is an article which presents a more curious history than one at first sight would imagine. There is no article more worthy of being reduced than coal ; for, from its first discovery, in Newcastle, in 1234, to its introduction[ to London in 1381, and down to the present time, it has contributed more to the advancement of manufacturing skill and scientific kuowl `-e. and commercial prosperity, than any other. Betw , eriods to which I Life p. - have alluded, so prejudiced were the people then against the use of this article, that it was publicly complained of as a by the authorities of the day. But erom the date of its discovery to the present time it has gone on increasing in importance, until now there is no more important article comes into or leaves the port. But owing to the chimsy manner in which the export trade in this ar is : on from this port, and the prohibitory operation of the dock dues, we have scarcely any such thing as an export trade from Liverpool. So that in reducing the article of coal I feel that we are doing that which will mate rially tend to the increase of our shipping. I need not remind you of the importance of coal to the shipping interest. Let me suppose that a ship is waiting here for an outward cargo to any foreign port to which she may be destined; that she wants to get away in time for some important appointment, and that she cannot get an out ward cargo, what would you 1?
