Organise your testant as ociations Scatter through t your Protestant appeals ! Proclaim to — the world the fact, that he that is not with you, heartily and wholly, is against you ! And if no satisfactory re sponse reach you from Downing-street, and faith cannot be found in the present _Parliament, look Protestant men ! iverpool are perhaps not gene rally aware of the provisions of a bill, and of its being pressed forward in parliament this session, people of g to be a bill to alter the Constitution of the Committee for the Affairs of the Estate of the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks, to authorise the Establishment of an Emigrant's Home, and to alter and amend the Acts relating to the Docks and Harbour of Liverpool." Those of them who may have heard of such a bill probably conclude that it is only an application to parliament for nary powers, and that its promoters are some nece the Dock C omMittee or the Dock Trustees. Such, however, is not the case. It is not an ordinary bill. It is not promoted by the constituted autho rities, or by Liverpool interests at all; and the gin- ly phrase—" to alter the Constitution of the Committee for the affairs of the estate of the Trus ' the Liverpool Docks"—means in reality no an to rob the burgesses of Liverpool of their erty in, and control over, those docks. Upon what pretext the claim of the promoters of the bill—which originated, we believe, with the American Chamber of Commerce—is based, except upon the assumption that the dock estate never was the property of the burgesses of Liverpool at all, em•mc , l • but a mere plane(' lawful pro at its provisions will sufficiently hear out the view which we take of it, viz., that it is an act of direct confiscation which the people of Liverpool ought to resist by every effort in their power; an act no more justifiable than would he one, promoted by private individuals, to " alter the Constitution" of the Board, and to settle the fares of the London and North Western Railway. The Dock Committee is composed of twenty one members, of whom thirteen are appointed from the Town Council, and eight elected by the Dock Ratepayers of the Port. The Chairman is elected by the Council; and that body, as "Dock Trustees " exercises a veto upon the proceedings of the Committee. Thus the substantial power is in sof Liverpool; the dock ratepayers, awever, backed as they usually are in all reason , ble demands by the mercantile members of the Committee and of the Trust, possessing a suffi ciently potential influence to protect their own interests, and those of the great commercial com- The Bill now before us, proposes a sweeping alteration. It recites, at page 5, that "it is expedient that the constitution of the same Committee should he changed, by giving a greater control over the man.T•yement of the said Dock and Harbour, and the Warehouses, works, and property connected therewith, to the merchants and ship owners of Liverpool, paying the rates and duties by the said acts, or any of them, authorised to be raised. levied, or collected." In other words, it is asked that the ratepayers should have the power of fix ing and controlling the amount of dock and ware house rates they are to pay; the customer to have the arbitrary power to determine the price he is to pay for his goods, and to dictate how the shop is to be managed This is modest enough ; hut it is not all. There is a little jesuitry in the back ground. We are told that it is expedient that the " merchants and shipowners of Liverpool" should possess these powers. But, from clause 15, page 11, we find that such powers are to he given not only to owners or part owners of vessels, and to principals, residing within eight miles of Liverpool, and paying rates, but to agents, so residing within eight miles, "for principals residing more than munity eight miles from the said town," and who may reside in London, in New York, or in St. Peters burg, and thus be enabled to dictate whether our docks are to be worked at a profit, or at an annual loss, and whether the dock bondholders, who look to the Dock Trustees of Liverpool for their principal and interest, are to be paid out of Dock revenue, or, as in the case of the Rivington scheme the Corporate Estate is to be pledged as collateral security for their claims. But let us see what is the composition of the committee by which it is proposed to supersede the present governing authorities of the Dock Estate. In sectioa 3, page 6, it is provided that the new committee shall consist of 21 persons, " any seven of whom shall have,use, and exercise exclusively, all and every the powers and authorities," given by this and preceding acts. Of these 21 members five are to be nominated by the Council, and fifteen elected by the Dock Rate-payers ; and the Chairman may either be elected out of the fifteen representatives of the rate-payers, or out of the body eligible to vote for such representatives. One-third of the repre sentatives of the Dock Rate-payers are to retire every three years, the five retiring members being either " determined by arrangement amongst them selves," or by ballot in the committee. There is no veto in the Council ; and from this, the small minority allowed, as in mockery, to sit upon the Committee, and the restriction as to the Chairman being a nominee of the Rate-payers, it is clear that the taking of the whole control of the estate out of the hands of the Council—the present Dock Trustees—is the object sought. The Bill goes also for powers to authorize the Committee to allow fires and lights on board vessels in certain Docks. and to authorize the establishment of Emigrants' Homes upon the property of the Trust. The former power is sought for in the Bill brought into Parlia ment by the Dock Committee. The latter is a tub thrown to the whale, upon which we shall take another opportunity of commenting. We feel that we are not overstepping the bound- ries of polite language when we characterize this as a most impudent measure. It is well known that the Dock' Estate has grown out of the Cor porate Estate—the acknowledged property of the burgesses. Those burgesses presented the land upon which our original docks were built. They, not later than on the occasion of the formation of an the Albert Dock and warehouses, sold the land required at, so far as our memory serves us, about ,£2, 15s. per yard, when private parties would have given L 5 for the same land. And in many other ways the Dock Estate has grown at the expense of the Corporate property of the burgesses. On what grounds then is based this act of aggression on the part of interests foreign to the town ? Has the Dock Committee, as at present constituted, ever failed in its duty of providing, to the utmost of its power, accommodation to the shipping frequenting the port ? It has not ; an we are impelled to state, as our deliberate opinion, that the proposed measure is dictated partly by purely selfish and anti-local interests, and in some measure is the emanation of party disappointment. Putting the motives which have dictated it aside, however, the movement is none the less one of aggression, and one too which ought to be resented by the town. It is intolerable that year after year we are to be pestered by such attacks ; and we would emphatically suggest that, to rebut it, a meeting of the inhabitants should be called forthwith. We may add that it is an affair with which the bondholders of the estate, as well, have to do. There is not in the whole bill a line of acknowledgement that the Dock Estate owes a debt of above four millions sterling, or even hinting at the parties who, under the new arrangem ent, are to be responsible for its payment. We should strongly recommend the Dock Bondholders to look Out, and to endeavour to ascertain what is their position. As a proof that the projectors of This ill-advised measure are not sleeping at their posts, we may intimat e t ha t t h e bill was read a first time on Friday.

If an ugly fact transpires, or an awkward question is asked, on the subject of our imports or exports, just in the nick of time the minister receives an elaborate return from the Board of Trade, with which he can walk confidently down to the House, prepared to throw the enemy into utter confusion. Blue books, full of elaborate statistics, spring up at a moment's notice, as beneath the wand of Harle quin, to hear him triumphantly over every diffi culty. Correspondents from every quarter of the empire drop letters into hie lap with such remark able appropriateness, as to time and subject, that wicked people, not acquainted with the immacu- _ . late character of liberalism, might almost be in clined to imagine the correspondents in question to be abcut as real personages as Sir John Fal staff's " men in buckram," or that their actual locality was a stool in some snug private office in Downing -street. An instance of the value and excellent working of such machinery has just occurred. During the debate on the address, on Tuesday evening last, Lord Stanley and Mr. Bankes expressed their opinions gathered from personal observation, that the condition of the labouring masses was not of that coleus de rose complexion, in which it had been painted by Mr. Peto and Lord John Russell. Now this very question—as to the condition of the country—happens to be one of the most important, according to the admission of the leading minis terial organ, the London Times, which is likely to occupy the attention of Parliament during the pre sent. ssion. We want to know, according to our contemporary, what is " the actual, ascertainable, plight of that large majority of the population who live by labour in its various forms." Well, there are no statistics bearing directly upon the subject. We have no means of guaging the stomachs of our working population, co - tinting the number of coats, shirts, and shoes they are able to buy in a year, or of ascertaining the extent of their dilapidation. Luckily, however, in this dilemma a return of the Registrar General, made up to the last day of 1850, and which the Times triumphantly remarks "com prises the identical period to which the representa tives of the agricultural interests must necessarily refer" turns up at the very moment it is wanted; and from this return our contemporary proceeds to make out a prosperity case to his own infinite satis faction. The report in question, we are told, states that " the returns of the last quarter of 1850 are still highly favourable, and imply a happier condi tion of the population at the close than at the commencement of the year, fewer lives having been lost by epidemic diseases, and marriages and births having increased." Now we are quite ready to grant, as contended by our contemporary, that de ficiency in food, or a deterioration of its quality, is a provocative of disease ; though scarcely of epi demic. Atmospheric conditions are generally con ceived to have something to do with the latter. We ignore the fact of the increase of births being decisive of the improved condition of the people and the increase of marriages is only a doubtful test. We are perfectly ready to admit that a large portion of our labouring masses have been of late enjoying the advantages of cheapness, the price of labour not having as yet been reduced to the level of the price of food. Our middle classes and su perior artizans have been able to command a more generous diet. The shopkeepers and traders in our country towns—and all these cases are embraced in the return quoted from—have not yet been so far impoverished as to deny themselves the food requisite to secure health. The common labourer, too, provided with what he trusts will be perma nent employment, and seeing the staple ar ticles of subsistence within his reach, is not unlikely to have been tempted to risk marriage. But we want better reasons than the registrar's return gives to convince us, against our senses and information, that our labouring masses, or any other great portion of the community, are in a state of advancing prosperity. Which of the various leading branches of industry, upon which the country relies for support and the labpuring masses for employment, is in a state of advancing prosperity ? The farming interest is not : that is admitted. The landowner is being mulcted of a portion of his income, and his tenant is paying rent out of capital, and seeking to dispense with, as much as possible, or to reduce the wages of, labour. The small traders throughout the country find their business decreasing, and experience immense trouble and difficulty in collecting their accounts Commercial travellers and wholesale houses everywhere admit the declining condition of these classes. Is the mining trade in a very flourishing condition ? Is the building trade fully employed, and our foundries and machine shops at full work ? The answer given by every candid man who has made inquiries for himself, and not sought his information from blue books and returns, will be a decisive—NO! The bulk of these classes are progressively declining in condi tion ; many of them are drawing nearer and nearer daily to the gulph of insolvency and despair; and hundreds of thousands of skilled workmen, of yeomen, and sturdy and honest labourers, have either fled already, or are preparing to flee, to other lands, where they hope to meet with that reward for their skill and industry which is denied them in their own country, " But," adds the - Times, " concurrently with this official report, we have the returns of the excise, the statistics of pauperism, and the general accounts of consumption from important localities." These returns, which we should have wondered at not seeing turn up " concurrently" with the other documents requiring cor roboration, the Times tells us all point in the prosperity direction, and prove that " the working men of this country have within the last twelve months purchased for themselves and their families more bread, more tea and sugar, more meat and better clothing, than in years past." In the aggregate, this may have been, to some extent, the case. When employment has been constant, the working man has been well off ; and when only half employed, he has still been able to find a meal for his children. But to supp ose th a t this is proof of a permanently improved condition, is to take for granted that employers will continue to pay present wages ; and are there not thousands of industrious men in every large community, and throughout the agricultural districts, who are daily on the brink of starvation, and who are glad to be employed for the merest pittance? But then, we are told, the poor-rate statistics show no increase of pauperism. To this we reply, that men n e ither deprive themselves of all the comforts of life, nor sink down into the condition of paupers at the first touch of calamity. Beyond a certain demo ralised and thoroughly depressed portion of our population, there are few who will not struggle on, amidst sufferings incredible, and fearful to con template, clinging, to the last moment of human endurance, to the shelter of their furnitureless cottages or rooms, and the society of their wives and children, rather than stain their names and forfeit their liberties by entering a union work house. To argue prosperity, then, from the non increase of pauperism, is but to say that the working-classes have not reached that depth of wretchedness which compels them to become paupers, if it do not previously hurry them into outrage and crime. IT will be remembered by the mercantile portion of our readers that, in August last, there appeared a disposition in the United States to retrace the steps of their government towards a more restric tive tariff. The movement in question was, how ever, shelved for the time, owing to the then hostile position of the Northern and Southern States, caused by the discussion of the Fugitive Slave Bill. It is now, however, as we find by the papers re ceived by the Asia, resuscitated ; and, so far as regards a portion of the American imports, higher duties are proposed to be levied. The proposition in question has been mooted as an amendment to the Deficiency Appropriation Bill in the House of Representatives at Washington; and we quote the following from the New York Herold for Evrope, just received, as showing what Brother Jonathan is driving at : " THE DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATION BILL. " Several amendments were made, when all the clauses of the bill were got through with. " Mr. Strong,(dem.) of Pa.. moved to amend, by pro viding that on and after the first day of April next, all duties required by law to be levied, collected, and paid on goods, wares, and merchandise, shall be assessed on the market value, with the addition of such charges as are now imposed by law, at the time and place of export : Provided that, upon all descriptions of iron, upon ma chinery made wholly7or in part of iron, and upon an chors, chain cables, and anvils, the duties shall be assessed upon the average prices, with the charges added, which like descriptions of iron bore in the principal porta during the ten fiscal years immediately preceding the year of im portation, such values and charges to be ascertained and declared by the Secretary of the Treasury, as the basis for esch succeeding fiscal year, Dulietirn witadow gbAs3 4114 linseed oil shall be thirty per cent ; and upon all descrip tions of iron, upon 'machinery made wholly or in part of iron, and upon chain cables, anchors, and anvils, the duties shall be forty per cent, provided that any excess of duties imposed by act on any railroad iron, imported for the use of any railroad, and actually and permanently laid down for the use of such railroad, within one year after the passage of this act, shall be remitted by the Secretary of the Treasury, on satisfactory proof being furnished that such iron was so imported and laid down. Duties upon all cordage and yarns, composed fully or in part of hemp or grass ; upon all manufactures composed wholly or in part of sheep's wool ; and upon all refined sugars, shall be respectively ten per cent, ad valorem, over and above the rate of duty now assessed by law. We shall merely advert to the effect of such an alteration of the American tariff upon iron and iron goods, which are amongst the most important items of our exports. The highest price of common bar iron is at present about £5 10s. per ton; and the duty at 30 per cent. is 335. per ton upon the iron alone,the duty upon the shipping charges remaining the same under the proposed new regulation as under the old. From the inquiries which we have made amongst the first houses in the trade here, the average price during the past ten years has been little, if at all, under £8 per ton. Take it, however, at £7 lOs., and with the duty at the proposed new rate of 40 per cent., we have a charge of 605. per ton. The same iron, under the present duty, and at the present maximum price of £5 103. per ton, would pay about 275. 3d. per ton. By the new scale of va luation and duties the pig iron, at £3 10s., the average of the past ten years, would pay 28s. per ton; and by the present duty of 30 per cent., and at the present price of £2 10s, the duty would be only 15s. We do not know what our Free-Trade friends may think of this state of things; but to ourselves it ap pears only the precursor of a still more restrictive movement. The cotton manufacturing interest of the United States are grumbling most seriously at the present tariff, as affecting the import of manu factured goods. By the law of 1828, subsequently modified, every piece of cotton goods imported was valued at a minimum price of 33 cents., or Is. 6cl. the square yard, and paid duty therecn. The dimi nishing scale of 1842 has brought the minimum value of the square yard down to 8 cents. or 4d ; and hence, in a great measure, and not to the effect of Free Trade, the increased export of cotton goods to the United States during the past two years. Under the tariff, as at present operating, America has found that she could import from us cheaper than she could manufacture, as is shown by the fact, that she con sumed in 1849-50 31,000 balesof cotton less than in 1848-9, and 44,000 bales less than in 1847-8. Now it must be borne in mind that, so far as the tariff is concerned, the Southern States have always been in favour of reduction of import duties. In 1828, when the Tariff question was under discussion, the hosti lity of the south to protection in favour of the New England manufacturers brought on the agitation of what was called "the nullification question," which threatened to break up the American union into fragments. The planters of the Southern States demurred to being taxed for the protection of the manufacturers of the Southern States. During the last two years, however, the Southern planters have established manufactures of their own, thereby mak ing protection from the competition of the foreigner a common interest; and in any new agitation of the Tariff question, such as that which appears approaching, we may depend upon it that we shall have every portion of the Union banded against us; and that the present assault against our iron trade is only a foretaste of something more to come. THE, ADDRESS OF THE LIVERPOOL PROTES- TANT ASSOCIATION The following correspondence sufficiently explains itself : " Liverpool, 2ith January, 1851. " Sir,—As chairman of a meeting of the members and friends of the Liverpool and Reformation Society, at which an Address to Iler Majesty the Queen was adopted, and a resolution passed that it should be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, I have the honour to forward the Address to you, with our united and respectful request that you will do us the favour to present it to our most gracious Sovereign. " I am. sir, with great respect, " Your faithful and obedient servant, " lIUGII M`NEILE. " To the Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., M.P., &c." " Whitehall, 6th February, 1851. " Sir,—l have had the honour to lay before the Queen the Address signed by you, and transmitted in your letter of the 27th ult., on the subject of the easures taken by the Pope to establish a Roman Catholic hierarchy in this country. And I am to inform you that Her lirajesty was pleased to re ceive the same very graciously. " I am, sir, your obedient servant, " G. GREY. _ _ . _ " Rev. Hugh M'Neile, D,14., Liverpool." A FEW AWKWARD ADMISSIONS. Mr. Richard Cobden is rather an indiscreet speaker, and, when excited by the cheers of his auditories, is in the habit of going much beyond what he probably would have uttered in his cooler moments. At the meeting which he recently addressed at Bradford, for example, he delivered himself of some opinions which, we suspect, he would not have done if he had maturely considered their bearing. A septennial parliament, he contended, was an absurdity. " Why, your opinions may differ widely two years hence, for circumstances may occur which may render a change of opinion both necessary and justifiable ;" and, amongst other grounds for more frequent parliaments, is the fact, he says, that " we have the discovery of California, which may in a short time completely alter your standard of value, and you may have many other things that may make it necessary to have the choice of wise men, and men who are able to meet an emergency." The admis sion of the depreciation going on in the value of the pre cious metals is important, coming from such a quarter ; and we trust that we may hail in Mr. Cobden a convert from the bullionist ranks. It is true, also, that we may want a few " wise men, capable of meeting an emer gency" in the House of Commons ; and the inference we draw from this admission is that the members of the pre sent house are not very wise men, or capable of meeting such an emergency, for example, as the failure of their free-trade policy. A modification of our present septennial bill " would prevent the great danger of go vernment not being in harmony with the wants and wishes of the people." We do not go quite the length of Mr. Cobden with respect to shortening the duration of parliaments ; but, in the mean time, we cannot see how Mr. Cobden, bolding such opinions, can object to the dissolution of the present parliament, a third portion of which, he well knows, in voting for the repeal of the corn and navigation laws, deliberately betrayed their consti tuents, and have been supporting the measures of a go vernment which is any thing but " in harmony with the wants and wishes of the people." In alluding to the rapid passage of the Washington from New York, last week, we erroneously gave the name of her commander as Capt. Funk, instead of Capt. Pitkin Page. Messrs. Milner and Grantham intend to bring before the Polytechnic Society on Monday week, their original design of superseding the powder magazines, by securing the dangerous material in compartments sunk under water from floating depots. DEATH OF AN EMIGRANT.-0a Saturday, Thomas Collanning, an emigrant, was brought ashore from the " Epatninondas," on board which vessel he had received injuries which caused his death. A female child died on board the same ship, on the same day. The United States' mail steam-ship Baltic, Comstock, sailed from Liverpool for New Yo captain o'clock on Saturday afternoon, with the usual waii very large freight of manufactured goods, &c., and thiri s ail passengers. CURIOUS ANTIQUE PORTRAITS.-Mr. Robert Hughes, of Birkenhead, has in his possession a Lumber of full length portraits of the Earl of Chester. These curious specimens of mediaeval art formerly formed part of the gallery at Hooton. They are painted on wood, and at first sight give the idea of sign boards. They are, how ever, by no means unfinished, and though possessing all the rigid characteristics of early art in this country, the features and general expression of the faces are very good. The figures are clad in armour, over which rather unbe comingly is thrown the furred cloak, worn by high officers of state and men of rank. All the uortraits appear to have been executed about the same period— probably the Eliza bethan. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—The first meeting of the Council since the annual general meeting was held yester day, at the offices, at which the election of president, &c., for the year, took place. Thos. B. Horsfall, Esq., was unanimously re. elected president ; Hugh Hornby, Esq., vice-president; and James Stitt, Esq., treasurer. After the appointment of committees, and other routine busi ness, the motion on the subject of the duties on soap was brought forward. and it was decided to memorialize Government for their total repeal. Many communications on various subjects were read, among which wore some relative to the question of the proposed extension of dock accommodation for the timber and shipbuilding trades, and it was agreed that the matter should be deferred until an adjourned meeting of the Council on Wednesday. LIVLRPOOL ARCHITECTS.—It has been frequently re marked that Liverpool cannot boast of her church archi tecture; but we have some reason to be proud of her ecclesiastical architects. After a severe competition of thirty-nine architects—some of the most eminent names in the profession—the premium of fifty guineas has been awarded and paid to Jehn, William, and James Hay, for the best and most practicable design for rebuilding All Saints' Church, Cockermouth. When we know how much is done by private influence and favouritism in deciding upon a matter of this kind, it is not less to the honour of the gentlemen of Cockermouth than it is to the merit of our townsmen, that the committee submitted the whole of the designs to Mr. Atkinson, architect, of York, with the names and mottoes sealed over, when he reported decidedly in favour of the design discovered to be by the Messrs. Hay, Liverpool. We have but to repeat oar congr.tulatioit4 tc these gentlemen on their deoerved tiIiCOONL IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY COMPANIES COUNTY COURT. JEFFERY AND OTHERS V. THE LONDON AND NORTH- WESTERN RAILWAY A case of some interest to railway companies, as well as to the trading community, came before Mr. James, yesterday, who is at present acting as deputy for Mr. Ramshay. The court was crowded with gentle men at the head of the various large retail establishments in this town. The attorney for the plaintiffs was Mr. R. A. Payne, under whose instructions Mr. Atkinson, the bar rister, acted. This gentleman stated the case as fol lows :—The plaintiffs in this case were the well-known silkmercers and drapers, Jeffrey, Morrish, and Co., of Church-street. The defendants were the better known firm, the London and North-Western Railway Company ; from whom it was sought to recover the sum o f £1719.8-d. the value of a piece of silk which was sent by the plain tiffs by the North-Western Company to London, on the 19th of October last. He believed he should distinctly prove that the piece of silk in question was enclosed care fully in a box on the 19th of October, and then given to a porter who delivered it into the custody of one of the company's porters at the Railway Station. The learned gentleman proceeded to state that in all probability the defendants would appeal to the act of the first Wrri IV., called the act for the protection of carriers, in proof of their exemption from the responsibility in the matter. That act was passed when the ordinary mode of conveyance was by coach, waggon, or van, and when the risk of rob bery in transitu was greater than it could possibly be now that railways are the ordinary mode by which goods are conveyed. The preamble of this bill set forth that whereas it had become customary for bankers and others to transmit by mail coach, stage waggons, and vans, bankers' bills, notes, watches, jewellery, and other pro perty of great value, and that by the frequent loss of this description of property by robbery great responsibility had .levolved upon the carriers of such property, it should be lawful that the said carriers should charge on all par cels containing property exceeding £lO in value an extra rate of carriage, and that the parties entrusting such par cels to their care should state the nature of their contents and the amount of their value at the time of delivering them. The learned counsel was of opinion that the act had reference merely to gold, or valuables of small bulk, and not to packages of manufactured goods, though he admitted that among the articles enumerated as liable to the charge for assurance in the act manufactured silk was specified. He supposed the possibility of the goods having been purloined by some of the company's ser vants; for, unfortunately, it was notorious that dishonest men had been discovered among the persons so employed. In making these remarks he entirely acquitted the com pany of laxity in their arrangements, and paid a high compliment to Mr. Braithwaite Poole, the gentleman who has the more immediate control of the company's ser vants. In conclusion, Mr. Atkinson, addressing the jury, said the two legal points for their consideration were, whether an act of misfeasance or larceny had been com mitted—whether the goods had been lost by the com pany's negligence, or by the felonious act of some of their servants ; for if they were satisfied that the piece of silk had been placed in the box, and the bulk had been broken and the silk taken out, then no person could have com mitted the felony but one of their servants. He went on to show tlrat the railways had superseded the old mode of transit to which the act of William applied, and now en joyed a monopoly ; that for the exemption from competi tion it was but fair the public should be assured of the safety of all goods entrusted to the care of railway com panies. He showed that an extra charge of five per cent. on goods of the description in question, as assurance, would act ruinously on the owners, as it would take away the trade profits. Thomas Pugh, a packer in the employ of Messrs. Jef frey, Morrish, and Co., was then called. He proved that on the 18th or 19th of October last he enclosed in e box one piece of silk, measuring one hundred yards. The box was addressed to T. Balmer and Son, Gutter-lane, London, and immediately given to Geo. Mizon, one of Messrs. Jeffrey Morrish, and Co.'s porters, who took it to Wapping-station. The box was nailed up and a rope was passed round it. Geo. Mizon, the porter referred to, stated that he re ceived the box from the first witness and carried it to the Wapping-station, where it was received by one of the railway porters. The receipt was produced. James Nolan, a-porter from Mes-rs. Balmer and Sens', Gutter-lane, London, deposed to having received a two piece box on the 22d of October, addressed to his em ployers, by Pickford's. it was delivered by one of the porters of the London and North-western Co., who de manded the payment for carriage. Witness took out the money, but, on finding the box was empty, refused to pay carriage—empty boxes being chargeable only with porter age. He opened the box in the presence of the man who brought it, and proved it to be empty. Mr. BLAIR, for the defence, addressed the jury at con siderable length. He was of opinion that no case at all had been made out. Taking up the points adverted to by the learned counsel on the other side, he showed that the company could not have committed an act of misfeasance,' inasmuch as that implied a breach of contract, and to have I committed a breach of contract it must be shown that the parties bound had the direction of the parcel during the whole of its transit. He disputed the conclusion, that if a felony had been committed, it must have been by some of the servants of the company having " broken bulk." The box was sent• from this town on Saturday evening, consequently it remained during Sunday at Camden Town. He likewise drew attention to the circumstance of the de livery in London not having taken place until Tuesday, instead of Monday s as was usual, and thence inferred that the box so received in London had never come from Messrs. Jeffery and Morrish at all. He dwelt on the strict terms of the act, and observed that if the principle attempted to be set up were admitted, property to the amount of thou sands might be claimed from the company : if the plaintiffs could recover in this case, the court would be giving them the advantage of having their property assured without payment of the considerations required from other parties. Mr. ATKINSON rose to reply to the case for the de fendants.. Two-defences, he said, had been set up,—one, that the defendants were not liable under the statute; and, secondly, that there was not sufficient evidence as to the identity of the box. It was for the defendants themselves to show that they had performed their duties, not for the plaintiffs to prove that they had not. His friend was wrong in laying down the law to them, to say that it was necessiry that the plaintiffs should prove clearly and distinctly that the servants of the defendants olbeing i eate car riage;wa i ly bad committed a felony. It was the defendants' ser vants who had access to the property, and clearly the com pany Although his clients had not declared th e va l ue o f th e Spropertytaptitio fort a n, a t were the s t iot ptrl company et was tesol responsible e s m n e i 01 would it for u d havetwhile delivered been n in paid their the for Railway personsl clear t h werea thethat calledtrade of uponth e t town o p a pay would beper cent. upon every package sent per railway. The whole point they had to decide was this,—were they satisfied there had been a felony committed ? If to, was there not sufficient evidence for them to infer that it had been com mitted by some dishonest person in the service of the company ? The learned JUDGE, in summing up the case to the jury, said, that in common law all common carriers were the insurers of the goods transmitted by them ; but by the first section of the act no common carrier was held liable for goods where the value should exceed £lO, unless their nature and value should have been declared by the person delivering the same, and an increased charge paid thereon. The responsibility of carriers was limited in certain instances, and it was quite clear that this was one of those instances. But there was another question raised by the same act: although they were not liable, through non-declaration, yet if, during the time the goods were in their custody, any person stole the same, then their com mon Irw liability was re-open ; but it was quite clear that the plaintiffs were not entitled to recover unless they could satisfy them that they came within the Bth section of the act, which made it imperative that the plaintiff should show that the goods had been stolen by some servant in the employment of the carrier. After recapitulating the case, the learned judge concluded thus : " Upon this state of circumstances can you arrive at the conclusion that this property has been stolen ? That is one question ; '.ett it is not the only question, because you must fix the felony upon some servant of the defendants. The law eill not allow you to give the benefit of this act to the plaintiff, for it is for him to satisfy you that a felony was committed by a servant of the company; because if you are satisfied that there was a felony, but not by a servant, the defendant is not liable. If you, think, however, under a:l the circumstances of the case, that the silk could not !lave been taken by any other person but a servant of the company, you will find a verdict for the plaintiff." After a few minutes' deliberation, one of the jury asked the b een ju a d f g e e lo whet nyr h it e w r, as if n t e lr e y ssa w r e y r to e sa fi t x isfi it e u d po ti n ia s t o t m h e er r e a l r i t a i d . cular party ? The JUDGE observed that it was not necessary that they should say that Aor B took the goods : they might say that a felony had been committed by some person unknown ; but they must say whether it was by a servant of the company. JURYMAN ; It is out of our power to do that ? (Laugh ter.) - JUDGE : That is for you, gentlemen, to say. The jury then almost instantly returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. We understand Oa; there is no appeal against this de, cision, the amount recovered being under twenty pounds. The Queen will again hold a privy council . to-day. Chancellorship is prepared.
