CLAIM FOE SEAMEN'S WAGES.-At the Police-court, on Friday, eight seamen appeared before Mr. Mansfield, each claiming from Messrs. James Baines and Co. the sum of £l6 10s., being wages at the rate of £4 10s. per month, on board of the Ocean Chief, from this port to Sydney. It ap peared that on arriving at Sydney, the Commodore Perry, another of Messrs. Baines and Co.'s ships, was lying there short of men. Captain Tobin, of the Ocean Chief, asked if any of his men would volunteer to go in her to Bombay for £2O. Eight agreed to do so ; but Captain Tobin refused to give them either their discharge or their wages for the voyage from Liverpool to Sydney. The men, however, sailed to Bom bay in the Commodore Perry, where each was paid his £2O, and returned to Liverpool in another vessel. Mr. Forshaw, for the defence, argued that when sailors make extra large wages by volunteering from one ship to another, it was not customary to pay them the wages in the first ship, as they made more money by leaving her than by remaining in her. Mr. Mansfield said he would adjournthe case till he had taken the opinion of an experienced shipmaster on the subject, par ticularly with reference to the articles of release, Vublit Notirr.

ON Friday, Mr. JOHN STEWART was elected to the highest honour in the power of the Corporation of Liverpool to bestow, by the unanimous voice of the Town Council, who on this occasion represented most fully not only the opinions of their constituents, but also those of the whole community. A better choice could not have been made ; and whilst we congratulate Mr. STEWART on having attained a dignity which is worthy of ambition, and which no man had more fairly and honourably earned, we also congratulate the ratepayers of Liverpool in having the good fortune to be governed by a chief magistrate so deserving of the elevation. Mr. STEWART has long -been conspicuous amongst the members of the Town Council for the zeal and energy with which he has devoted his great talents and aptitude for business to the promotion of the interests of his fellow-townsmen. That vast addition which was made to the Liverpool Dock Estate by the purchase of the Birkenhead Dock property, is mainly owing to the indefatigable labours of the new Mayor, and his ever watchful regard for the welfare of Liverpool. The architect of his own fortunes, he is a living testimony to the truth that honour and worth from no condition rise. He pre sents an example worthy of imitation by the rising youth of Liverpool ; and in taking his seat at the head of the corporation of this great town, he practi cally proclaims not only that integrity, industry, and perseverance meet with their reward, but that public services are appreciated, and deemed to be the most fitting qualification for the Mayor of Liverpool. We cordially wish him every prosperity in the year of office before him. Succeeding so estimable and popular a Mayor as Mr. TOBIN, the task before him is not an easy one ; but we entertain not the slightest doubt, from all we have known of Mr. STEWART, that the office of Mayor will in his hands lose none of its lustre ; and that, at the close, the unanimous vote of thanks for his valuable services will be mingled with regret for the loss of them. THE MINISTERIAL VACANCIES. WHEN Lord PALMERSTON was elevated into the position of Prime Minister, in seeming accordance with the popular voice, we disputed his claim to the distinction, upon the ground that, notwithstanding the length of his official career, he had never displayed any greater ability than in making plausible excuses for the errors he had committed. His popularity, as far as the public at large is concerned, has long since dwindled away, and the estimation in which he is held by the leading men of parties seems still more illusory. He commenced his career as Premier by a coalition with the Peelites, who quickly seceded from the affi ance ; he took into his Cabinet his bitterest political foe, who was subsequently dismissed ivith tse, i s g Tol n et o n m eride ln ytoo y f, for his treachery ; compelled by necessity, he filled the o Lord highest offices of the State with men untried and almost unknown; and now he has two important his anfi stationsndd Colonialnmoet nws v ioe a t fch c r a sre n teta t san , pr eyd and htgaab i st s i apparently ibet eyeanll toeoffe redgfieidl Raattd them.i Radical predilections of the heir of the House of DERBY, he has declined the proffered honour, upon the advice, it is believed, of his Conservative father. A re-opening of negotiations with the Peelites has been talked of ; but this will not strengthen public confidence in a Ministry already suspected of deficiency of zeal to carry on the war ; and as the next resort is to the obscurity from which the Premier has already recruited his ranks, it is not surprising that an appeal to the people by a dissolution* of Parliament should be seriously discussed as a neces sity almost inevitable. It is a result of the present position of affairs, which seems by no means improba ble ; and it behoves the Conservatives throughout. the kingdom to be well-prepared to take full advantage of it. There can be little doubt that if the intelligence and sound common-sense of the electoral body be fairly appealed to, they will welcome the accession of a Conservative Ministry, which can only be accom plished by returning Conservative members to the House of Commons. Sufficient experience must have been acquired of the folly of trusting to Radicals or Peelites, through whose mismanagement the war has proved a greater evil than it need have done. Much has yet to be accomplished before we can hope to wit ness a return to peace upon a lasting foundation ; but the people may be assured of this, that the most certain means of achieving the object will be found to be under the auspices of a Conservative Adminis tration. THE MONEY QUESTION. Tins is a subject which, however distasteful to ,hose who view it as dry and . almost • unintelligible, must force itself upon public attention preparatory to s discussion by the legislature in the approaching There are far greater interests dependent upon a correct understanding of its bearings than many persons imagine ; and the influences which have been created by the exceptional circumstance of im mense gold discoveries in California and Australia must not be permitted to perpetuate an error m legislation, which, but for such influences, would have proved seriously detrimental. We need not impugn the motives which actuated Sir ROBERT PEEL, in his session.
