We find that in the report it was announced that Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son had offered to the society one of their holdfast and fire-resisting safes, for the custody of their books and records. The Rev. Mr. Dwyer moved a vote of thanks to them for their suitable and valuable gift, which was seconded by the president, W. Bennett, Esq., and warmly and unanimously passed. The follow ing letter was addressed by Messrs. Milner and Son to the secretary : " Milners Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe-works, street and Cable-street, Liverpool, December 27, 1847. " Dear Sir,—Your allusion the other evening, at the Council meeting to the circumstance of the books and archives of the society . having been destroy e d i n M e s srs . Platt's fire, suggested to the writers an opportunity for making the most suitable acknowledgment, on our part, of the high sense we entertain of the service rendered to our invention by the Polytechnic Society,—first, by the patient and severe ordeal to which its capabilities were submitted, in which so many of the members were en gaged day after day ; and, when its sterling claims were brought, after being seven times tried, like gold refined, out of the fire, by stamping them with the sanction of the society, and giving them currency with the public. In return for the good service the society has done our fire-taming principle, by elicitir.g and strongly speaking the truth for it, we beg most gratefully to tender for the future safe custody of its archives one of our most im proved holdfast and fire-resisting safes,' and in doing so we have pride and pleasure in warranting it as the strongest safeguard against fire and robbery extant. So as your documents are entrusting to its keeping, we will venture to ensure them, without charge, against any recurrence of the misfortune which you deplored the other evening. The severe and patient investigation, and awarded sanction of your society, have not been alone serviceable to us, but also in diffusing over the world at large a body of valuable information " on the preservation of documents from fire," by means of Mr. Woods's pamphlet, of which we have ourselves circulated some hundred thousand copies; and though last, perhaps not least, in assisting to place the valuable documentary pro perty of more than 20,000 of her Majesty's subjects in much greater security within as many of our safes than they would have been in any other. And now, sir, allow us to assure you that we have not availed ourselves of the approval which this and other similar societies and scien tific men generally have everywhere accorded us— our theory commending itself to their knowledge, and the fire, in practice, confirming our theory : nor have w e ava il e d ourselves of our patent rights to merely enrich, the e rs m el e v a e n s s of ourselves, but rather to enrich and improve our manufactures. At this preserving moment the documents subject fromof your r e l inquiry, aimmense import ance, the government being engaged in choosing means of securing the national recordy inexcusably neglected—" most neglected—" Domesday Boke 'itself having been left for near a thousand years to the guardian spirit of its great compiler. We claim for our weapons the first place in the fire -resisting ranks, 1000 ° of Fahrenheit in ad vance o f any others ; and as a sample of ourimproved holdfast and fire-resisting safeguards, in a spirit of generous, fair, open rivalry of skill, we wish to throw down our gage for the com ing contest on the safe we now propose to present to the Li verpool Polytechnic Society, and to summon its members to see fair play when the trial comes.—We are, g c , c ., " THOS.

Nearly all of our contemporaries have noticed the subject also; and, though sufficiently varied in many respects, they have concurred heartily in their approval of the statistical inquiry, and in recommending vigorous efforts to be made both by the public and by the minister of the district. An article in the Albion of yesterday draws public attention to the fact that similar inquiries, but less varied and minute, go forward at intervals under the direction of the Town Mission, the agents of the mission or the Scripture readers conducting the inquiry. It is stated that their accounts are in general singularly corro borative of those which Dr. Hume has given. We are pleased to be made acquainted with these facts, and it is gratifying to learn from time to time that individual clergy, in every part of the town, undertake more limited inquiries for similar purposes. This, however, is not enough. There ought surely to be a more general ac count of the whole town arranged in ecclesiastical dis tricts, so that not two or three incumbents only, but that every one would know every important fact respecting the people under his care. It would be of extreme interest to every religious denomination, for the Inde pendent, Me.hodiit, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic would each learn where to find neglected members of his communion ; and the efforts both of Scripture readers and of district visitors would be systematic and regular, instead of at random and indefinite. The detailed list of all the streets and courts, with the names of the families, being put into the hands of the clergyman of the district, and corrected from time to time for changes, he would be able to direct his temporal and spiritual relief into the proper channels. We have just been perusing an important article in Tait's Magazine for this month, entitled " Ragged Churches ;' the idea being taken from what are rather in aptly denominated " Ragged Schools." The writer calcu lates that there is a large number, say 400,000, in England, many grades below the ordinary labouring man, all of them subsisting in some way upon society, but not one of them knowing twenty-four hours before hand where he can eat or sleep, and none of them ever learning good habits. He says that if they were only separated from us by thousands of miles, if they were subjects of the Queen of Tahiti for example, there would be some sympathy for them, and missionaries of acknowleged ability would be sent out to teach them. They are not quite without sympathy here, but it is casual and ill-directed. As for the instruction being of a good quality, no man of experience can dissent from the suggestion. It is too true that there is a monopoly of good preaching, so to speak, _ they can pay for a better article, and while men of science and distinguished linguists, familiar with the ways of Wankind, are ordained for foreign service, the poor at home are often handed over to men who are sometimes their own inferiors in intellect. A clerical friend charged a poor woman with imposture a few days since, and was about to send her begging letter to one of the newspapers as a forgery, though signed by a scripture reader—of what sect we do not know. On making inquiry, however, it turned out to be genuine, though containing several vio lations of orthography. We are glad to find, however, that in London, i►► Leeds, in Liverpool, and in the other populous districts the new parishes are, in many instances, undertaken by men of great ability and distinction. One of the best known is Mr. David Laing, F.R.S., of Trinity, St. Pancras London. There is a close connexion between the different columns of a newspaper which many of our readers fail to notice. One column reports the neglect of the poor in morals and religion, and another reports the assizes or quarter ses sions. One paragraph notices fines for uncleanliness, or is a letter from a correspondent ; another gives the num ber of deaths in a ward from the registrar's report. We announce, in the faithful performance of our duty, in one number of our paper, the lamentable destitution of the people in one district of the town, and the same number conta►ns the reports of footpads and burglars, of additional police, of violence and plunder. What has happened in one district may happen with equal readiness in several ; what has happened last week will occur again. Let us neglect the people who are springing up in thousands on every side of us, and the moral retribution is at hand. There is a close connexion of cause and effect in these matters. and it seems childish to say we must remove the former if we would avoid the latter. If we do not make provision for the people in one form we must do it in another ; if we refuse to do it at one time it will be exacted at another. To get rid of it is im possible. If we spare our pence to feed the hnngry boy, we will lose shillings by his depredations. If we spare shillings in his education, he will cost us pounds in provi ding additional police with sabres and horses, in providing jailors, inspectors, watchmen,—in providing the convicts' bed and board, or the felons' fetters at Kirkdale or the 'Borough Prison. Be assured that it is a wise economy to act in time ; for the formation of evil habits destroys the tendency to learn anything good or useful. The en joyment of plunder is to the thief what the taste of blood is to the tiger : to wean him off the habit is all but an impossibility. Besides, the first depredations are usually committed under superintendence; so that to return to virtuous habits, without the permission of the witness, is impossible. Like Jonathan Wild, the aged thief holds the youth in an iron chain by the few words, " You know I could transport you." With facts and circumstances like these constantly before us, we cannot feel lukewarm or apathetic respecting the efforts to reclaim Vauxhall district, or any similar portion of the town. THE LIVERPOOL INFIRMARY Yesterday forenoon, the annual meeting of the sub scribers and friends of this excellent Institution took place, in the Board Room of the establishment, Samuel Thompson, Esq., in the Chair. There was present a considerable number of the most influential friends of the Institution. No report was read on this occasion ; but it was stated that a report was in course of preparation, and would be presented by the end of February, or the beginning of March. The CHAIRMAN read several statements relating to the Institution during the past year,—of which the following are the heads :- INFIRMARY.—Patients in the house, Ist January, 1847, 194 ; admitted during the last year, 1805 ; cured, 1162 relieved and discharged at own request, 365 ; made out patients, 62 ; irregular, 48 ; died, 174 ; in the house Ist January, 1848, 188. LUNATIC ASYLUM.—In the house Ist January,__ 47, 63 ; admitted during th;;;;,Eilcl;ied, - 32 ; relieved, 1 ; discharged at friends' request, 3 ; removed to County Asylum, 8 ; died, 5 ; in the house Ist January, 1848, 67 ; total during the year, 116. LOCK HOSPITAL. — Jn the house January Ist, 1847, 43 , admitted during the past year, 450 ; making a total of 493 during the year. It appeared from the financial statement read, that the expenditure of the year was £7615 ; being an increase on that of the previous year of about £6OO. The income for the year had been £6731. and some amounts yet to be received would reduce the balance due to the treasurer to about £5OO. This deficiency, considering the increased demands on the benefits of the Institution, during the year,—one in which disease was, from various causes, more than usually prevalent,--is not more than might have been expected ; and we trust a liberal public will extend their contributions so as to meet it. The officers for the ensuing year were elected. Sir T. B. Birch was chosen president ; Mr. Gibson was re-elected treasurer ; and the previous committee were also re instated. Thanks were voted to the physicians, the surgeons, the chaplain, and the general staff of the establishment, for their unwearied and valuable services during the year; and a tribute of gratitude was in like manner recorded in behalf of the clergymen who had devoted their efforts from the pulpit for the benefit of the Institution. Thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. INCREASE OF POOR-LAW EXPENDITURE IN MANCHESTER IN 1847 The Manchester Examiner has furnished its readers with a table of the weekly expenditure for the support of the poor of the township during the past year, of which the following is the substance the first quarter, ended 27th March, the amount paid for out-door relief %yap £7,101, being an increase, aa compared with , the cor responding quarter of the previous year, of £1,805 in the expense of English cases, and £1,630 10s. 9d. on that of Irish cases. In the quarter ended 26th June, the amount paid was £12,387, being an increase of £4,575 on English, and £3,970 on Irish cases. In the quarter ended the 25th September, the amount paid was £15,137, of which £6,445 was an increase on English, and £5,298 on Irish cases ; and on the quarter ended the 25th December; the amount paid was £13,695, of which 5,828 was the increase on English, and £3,752 on Irish cases. _ _ The total expenditure in out-door relief has therefore been £48,321, of which £18.655 is the excess upon English cases, and £14,652 upon Irish cases ; or upon both to gether there hos been an excess over the payments in 1846, amounting to £33,308. There has also been a large increase in the expenditure for in-door relief, the Man chester Workhouse havinc , been filled during the whole year, and four other establishments having been called into requisition during a great portion of the year. The total expenditure of the last twelve months is thus Out-door relief In-door relief Establishment charges. Vaccination, Registration, and Interest £48,321 26,000 31,000 7,000 112,321 The whole expenditnee of the board in the parochial year 1846-7, which includes the first quarter of last year, was 64,000, or little over half the above amount. A four and-sixpenny rate was estimated to produce, from £lOB,OOO to £112,000; and it was accordingly laid; but notwithstanding the use of all possible vigilance in its collection, it is expected to fall short of the amount which will he required before the close of the parochical year. The Corporation estimates its requirements for next year at above £59,000 ; and it is therefore confidently expected that the inhabitants will have to raise a sum of above £lBO,OOO very early this year ; and that the rate required cannot be less than 7s. lid. in the pound. Such an impost is fearful to contemplate, at a period when a large portion of those usually assessed are rather in the position of objects of relief than objects of taxation. WAREHOUSE BREAKING. —On Sat urda warehouse of illr. Isaac Uonolly, in Love-lane. 'Rushton expressed his disatisfnetion with the non i lance of ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE COUNCIL THE DOCK BILL. Yesterday, an adjourned general meeting of the Town- Council was held for a variety of purposes, amongst which were the following : To rescind or vary the following resolution of the Council, adopted at the special meeting, o►► the 15th December last: "That, considering the present state of the money market, and the large worms now in course of construction by the trustees, it is not expedient to appy for the powers sought in the present bill, smith that the bi,l, therefore, be limited by the Dock Act of the 9th and 10th Victoria, section 50, and to such further powers as are necessary for exp.aining or amending the provisions of the Dock Acts reititing to tie management of the existing warehouses, and the goods housed therein, and the recovery of freights and charges." And to !nave that in the Dock nib now before Parliatneot powers be sought not only for the purposes specified in the above resoluti•at, out also for the purchase of land north of the present duck works, for the pur poses of the dock trustees. - - • TliOS. BERRY HORSFALL, Esq., the Mayor, took the chair at eleven o'clock. Mr. J. B. Moowa said there were a number of memo rials applying to the dock bill which they would find referred to in the Council paper. The first matter which would be referred to was the Dock Committee proceedings; then there was the other business on the paper referring to the dock bill ; and then there was a resolution to rescind the resolution of the last Council referring to that bill. Now, some difficulties would arise unless they took alt these matters together. If they confirmed the pro ceedings of the Dock Committee, they would annul the resolution of the last meeting of the Council. If they took the resolution itself, they would got into the same difficulty. The best course would be, that the proceed ings of the Dock Committee should be read after the me morials, and then the other three matters which had been referred to could be discussed. The TOWN CLEttx said that the proper course would be to move the confirmation of the proceedings under the ex isting acts, and the next would be to take the bill and the resolution thereon. • • The MAYOR said the first memorial was from the Guardian Society, to which 260 signatures were appended. The Town Cljrk then read the-memorial. _ The MAYOR said that the next was a memorial from the Select Vestry, in special meeting. This memorial was likewise read. The next memorial was from certain rate-payers of ward against a bill before parliament, to enable the trustees of the Liverpool docks to build warehouses around the docks. Mr. Alderman NicoL.—What ward is that ? TOWN CLERK.—Blank ward; but I see most of the parties signing it are from Castle-street. _ _ _ The memorial expressed regret that the bill did not subject the dock warehouses to rates, inasmuch as a large be pulled down to make way for the new warehouses. The proceedings of the Dock Committee for the last mnnth cr ern then read. and. noon the motion of Alderman J. Bramley-Moore, were confirmed. Mr. EYRE EVANS asked whether the Town-clerk . thought that a majority of two-thirds, or only a bare ma jority, was necessary to set aside the proceedings of the Dock Committee The TOWN-CLERK said he had referred to the clause in the act of parliament, and he was of opinion that a bare majority of the Council was sufficient, notwithstanding the clause to which Mr. Evans had referred, on auy matter affecting the new bill. The clause of the 6th George IV., relating to the Dock Trust, said that the Dock Committee should have, use, and exercise all the forms and authori ties relating to the docks, and of carrying into effect that and the existing acts. The next section provided that all proceedings, &c., of the Dock Committee shall be final and conclusive, unless they shall be annulled at the next Council, or at a special meeting to be held within one week. and unless two-thirds of the trustees or members of the Common Council shall direct the same to be annulled and made void. Now all these acts were to be incor porated and construed as one act ; and the 9th and 10th Victoria said that the trustees shall apply within two years for an act to build warehouses round the quays and docks, under the controul of the said trustees ; and the said trus- Dock, andthe works eastward of the King's dock:Until such act of parliament should be obtained. Now his con struction, upon consideration, of the act was, that it refer red to the management of the estate when it was com pleted. (" Hear, hear," from Mr. Samuel Hohne.) Mr. EVANS.—Then you consider the bill binding on the Dock Committee, except that one clause—that no clause in the bill is binding on the Council; except that one clause. TOWN-CLERK existing work Except in as far as relates to the proceedings under the existing acts, without reference to the new act, and the other matter will come to discus sion in proper order under Mr. Moore's motion. Mr. A. LACE said there appeared to be some mistake. The whole Council together could not annul, nor could two-thirds of the Council annul it. They could not re voke an act of parliament, even if they were unanimous. It was imperative on the Dock Committee to go to par liament within two years ; and,_ if the Council were to pone some of their works for five years, that would be another matter, and it would be for parliament to say whether the Dock Trustees should be allowed to alter that. That was no part of the Council. MR. EVAN of two-thirds of the Council, sou - inai throW out the bill iri )roceedit .gs of the Dock •Tf you haN in two years is part of the existing ct, and requires two- thirds Of the council to annul it MR. EVANS.—Yes. TOWN-CLERK.--My opinion is that it is not. There is a direction that the Council shall, at a certain time, go to parliament for new powers. If it had been anything with respect to management, that question would have to have gone to the dock committee, and they would have put the question upon their proceedings or not, and then it would have required two-thirds of the Council to annul their proceedings. Mr. D. HooGsoN said, that if it required two-thirds of the Council to annul the proceedings of the dock com mittee, that body might take the trustees to parliament every year. If a bare majority of the Council could not stop them he should be very sorry, for he thought that the common sense construction of the act was, that which had just been put upon it by the Town-clerk. The MAYOR said that he thought they ought now to go on with business, on the assumption that the Town-clerk's opinion was correct. _ _ _ Mr. EVANS said he should perform his duty, and pro test against the law as just laid down. Mr. Alderman J. B. MooaE said, that with reference to the confirmation of the proceedings of the dock com mittee, nothing could arise out of that, and he wished to ask which branch of the question he should take first. Must be state the whole case ? otherwise perhaps the Council could not rescind the resolution of the last meet ing. He thought he had better move that first. The MAYOR,--YOll had better state the whole of your case, and then the other resolutions can be brought on afterwards. Mr. Alderman BRAMLEY MOORE said, he would move that the resolution which had been alluded to be rescind ed, and the other confirmed ; and he would endeavour to state every thing with the same candour there which had been his endeavour upon all occasions, upon anything connected with the Dock Estate. It had never been the desire of the Dock Committee to do anything in an un derhand, but in the most honest way. With respect to the veto which they had claimed, they must of course at present bow to the Town-Clerk, but still he thought that common sense required that the veto should be from two-thirds of the Town Council. He was not, however, at present going to raise any question upon that matter, but he should regret if any of their proceedings were car ried by a bare majority. If they had not more than a mere bare majority, it would not be his wish, nor would it be the wish of the Dock Committee, to proceed in any matter whatever. (Hear.) He would call their attention to the Dock Bill as it had been altered, and they would at the last Council (hear)—with one exception—retaining an enabling power to go for the north shore. It would have been a great act of folly on the part of the Dock Commit tee to have attempted to have passed the bill, unless it was in accordance with the wishes of the Town Council. (" Hear, bear," from Mr. S. Holme.) Therefore, the re sponsibility of doing away with the "construction of ware houses," as had been proposed by the Dock Committee, must rest entirely on the shoulders of the Council, and not on the Dock Committee. And now though the Dock Committee had come to the Council again—it was not that the Dock Committee had changed their views, though they could not get the trustees to introduce it in that shape. But the Dock Committee did now put the bill before them in an altered shape. He thought it right to state this on behalf of the Dock Committee, for their sen timents were just the same as ever. He would now state the alterations in the new bill. The powers which had been inserted in the first bill to enable the trustees to build warehouses wherever they thought fit at their dis cretion had been expunged, and others introduced in their •• place asking parliament to allow them to postpone that for two years. Therefore, it amounted to this, that the Dock Committee asked for power to postpone that step for two years longer for reasons which had been stated by the Dock Committee and the Council, and which it would not be necessary for him to allude to there. Another ground of opposition was the purchase of certain ground belonging to the Corporation. There was another matter which bad reference to the Wapping Docks, and he wished to be allowed to remove an impression that was going abroad with respect to the proposed north works on the North Shore—which was, that the Dock Com- mittee intended to construct additional North Docks. (Hear.) Now, nothing of the sort had been con templated, (hear) except for the sake of accommodating the timber trade ; and with regard to that only an en abling power ---- the Committee to become to empower f the land. He repudiated the idea tl )ut or were willinz to make new docks on ❑th to Text all ►ich he might hangre or give_ laugh- ted next to the man), or which the party might exchange for urn of money ,t the party c the bond Mr. Alderman MooßE.—But he is obliged to take the upon ; and before he negotiates it, he is obliged to hay( it registered in the great book, and at the registrar's. There is also a clause that was not in the bill before. It is for permission to take absolute power to remove vessels from the graving docks. We have an instance of a vessel occu pying the graving dock for eight months, at great incon venience on the part of the shippers. This graving dock was rendered useless, because vessels which wanted to go in could not get there ; and there is another most important matter, which is the evasion of rates. That is a thing worth going to parliament for. (Hear.) The dock estate has been robbed to a large amount, and the corporation too, of its dues, to a large amount ; and it has been proved that the most stringent measures that have been devised cannot meet the case. Just to give an instance : A vessel sailed from the port of Liverpool, and some parties com municated to me that the vessel had not paid the dock dues, though she had absolutely left the port fourteen days, and had not paid her dock dues. I laid the matter before the Dock Committee, and afterwards before the (Wick soli citor. The parties upon being communicated with, said that they had entertained no intention of committing a fraud, but intended to have paid. Ido not intend to make any insinuation, but many persons would have thought that, if they had passed fourteen days without mentioning it to the Dock . Committee, they might have passed fourteen th ousand. e have no means, at present, of inflicting a penalty for this sort of conduct. We can at the best only get the money that is due to us, and when the matter was mentioned by me to Mr. Rushton, it was his deliberate opinion that if the party tendered us the money, we should be obliged to sit down with merely receiving it. This clause goes to the effect that if the dues are not paid at a certain time, a penalty is to be enforced.—l will say a few words with reference to the position of the Dock Committee in regard to the rate-paying clause in the bill, and the Council will bear with me whilst I say a few words upon that matter. (Hear.) The Dock Committee think that they act in the capacity of trustees, and as the executive of the dock trust, in the origination of any clause putting taxes upon themselves, or on the property which was left in their charge ; and if the clause to which allu sion has been made had not been departed from, they would have been justified in resisting the clause, at al events. But the principle having been once broken down, the Dock Committee found themselves in this position they could not propose a clause to rate the property of the trustees, unless the trustees or Parliament thought proper to put it into the bill. (Hear.) It is well known that many of the Dock Committee are favourable to the rating of the dock warehouses, but, as trustees, they can not place themselves in an anomalous position. MR. ROBINSON said he would have voted for the inser tion of the rate-paying clause had it been proposed in. the Dock Committee. Holt's Mr. Alderman MooRE said he was no party to the ement about the rate, and therefore had not voted arrai l / 4 for it, th not have received any opposition from him. To illustrate this: if a person were left as trustee for property exempt from local rates, would he volunteer to make speeches in public meetings in favour of rating similar property ? He thought the parish authorities were perfectly right in getting the warehouses rated if they could. He, however, thought it short-sighted policy to tax the warehouses around the docks, inasmuch as their establishment would cheapen the port. When it was first talked of to make Manches ter a port, it was stated that S such a step would ruia Liverpool. His (Mr. Mc that if the best and cheape pool, goods instead of warehouses were in Liver ing to Manchester to be ware- ,uld be wal din Liverpool d as to the pr, A. long conve rescinding the resolution of the last C Mr. HOLT proposed that the re meeting of the Council be rescinded, clearing the way of the Council.

If the Dock Com mittee were sincere in their profession of being anxious for the construction of warehouses around the docks, he thought they had committed a very grievous error by not inserting a clause subjecting them to the payment of local rates ; because it was perfectly clear that, without such a clause, it was a matter of certainty that the bill would not pass the council. That the Dock Committee should be allowed to destroy large piles of warehouses in the town. nd substitute them by others not liable to the same rates is those belonging to private parties, would have been a to rates, he (Mr. HOrnby) thought them perfectly beside the question. There had never been warehouses around the docks until those around the Albert Dock were erected, and it was well known that parliament had affirmed the principle of rating those. Mr. Bramlev-Moore had said that they could not propose a rating clause in the bill, although he admitted it was right that there should be one, but he (Mr. Hornby) maintained that they were bound to do what was just and right, even with their own property. He would do so, and be thought it their duty to do justice not only to themselves but also towards others. He thought the title of the bill ought to be en tirely changed, and it should now be entitled, " A Bill to deprive the Port of Liverpool of Warehouses around the Docks." If they could avoid the compact entered into when the last dock act was before parliament, what was to hinder them, two or three years hence, from evading the present arrangement ? The arrangement about building warehouses around the present docks, was not one pro posed by the Dock Committee, but forced upon them with the sanction, and in the face of parliament, and they were bound to carry it out fairly and fully. As to the purchase of land at the North Shore, there was an incon sistency about that which he (Mr. Hornby) could not understand. In the original bill, power was taken to bor row £340,000 for the purpose of purchasing that land, and to construct docks upon it. Now, the Chairman of the Dock Committee told them he wished to take powers to purchase the land, but not to borrow the money. He thought the wisest course would be to abandon the hill altogether. and he would vote for that. Mr. AIKIN said it had been remarked that it was in cumbent upon them to go to parliament this he (Mr. Aikin) begged to remind them tin session, but ament for dock ware- imperative on them to go hoines, and if they w infringing th went fox so certain :lause forced into the bill, .sting clause.

He would, therefore, take the liberty of suggesting what he had suggested before, namely, that the Council should either rescind the resolution come to at the last Council meeting altogether, and begin again de novo, or that they should withdraw the bill altogether. Mr. EVANS said he considered they ought to go for the rating clause, and if they did not they were playing the game of the parties who opposed the Dock Warehouses. He begged to remind all the gentlemen of the Council, that last year, many ?nonths ago, he got up and expressed a hope that ie Dock Committee might be prepared with a bill and not do as they had now, but that there might be time enotagl fo go back or to_ go .foryvard—in fact te. leave a wide margin so far as time was concerned, What had they done ? Why just the reverse. There could hardly be a gentleman on the Dock Committee but must think the bill could not pass without the rate-paying clause ; and why was it omitted, with the precedent of the Albert Dock Warehouses before them ? He believed Mr. Hornby was in error with regard to the Dock Com mittee of that day, because he (Mr. Evans) was one of them, and so far as- he recollected the rating clause was not opposed by any of them. He quite concurred in all which bad been said as to the property of the warehouses which had to be built being subject to rates in the same manner as those they were intended to supplant. It was very well known that if they could arrive at the position of having the bill unopposed, there would be no difficulty in getting a suspension of the standing orders, so as to introduce a rating clause. He believed the Town Clerk he'll that opinion , therefore that obstacle ought not to weigh witk them at all. Then if they were to take the argument about the secu money, it would be much better to build ware round docks that would make a revenue, than that would not. Could anything be more than that the Liverpool public would allow the subversion of 101 warehouses, for that was the num ber contained in the Wapping a rrangement — were they te allow those to be sweet away without anything being unfortunat placed in their stead ? Were they to allow re the se t Dock hem Committee the direct power to do this,and refuse the direct power to build warehouses ?
