Sands, Turner, and Co., or the motives which induced such choice of time. These questions will form a subject o grave enquiry before the proper authorities. There are, however, one or two features in the letters of Mr. Corrie, read at the last Council Meeting, to which we may here, without impropriety, direct the attention of that body under whom the receiver of town duties holds his very responsible position. In one of the communications in question, Mr. Corrie intimated to the Council and the commercial world that the criterion of honesty on the part of a shipper of goods, as applied at the town dues office, was a faithful adherence to the description of such goods, as given to him by the consignor in his advice note. What the Manchester exporter chooses to denominate a truss or a box, is only to be de.. scribed as such by the forwarding agent here ; and all is en regle. This would be almost to dispense with our consciences, our common sense, and our honesty, and use only those of the public, whose goods are daily passing through our hands. We :t how can we recon- n two articles which constitute utward and inward n of coals is surely of n of salt, difference, in the idles in recognised quanti le most material subject of present mode of collecting some of the heads, we have tions of packages men- cannot agree with this ; and we much question if the Town-clerk, or any other legal authority, views our position in the same light as Mr. Corrie, or is prepared to say that we hold our right to the levy ing of town dues subject to the amount of honesty to be found in Manchester, Leeds, or else where, amongst the shippers who forward their goods from our port. We have a distinct right to certain specified rates, or we have not. If we have, Mr. Corrie's suggestion of the most orthodox mode of escaping the payment of those rates—a sugges tion which will be pretty extensively acted upon— is very indiscreet; and if we have not, it is disho nest in us to levy them from those conscientious people who do not resort to subterfuge to save their pockets.

And ge, which on Wednesday ?eared in the London Standard, the:recog- almost warrants the abandonment of their present posi ated. The Standard says— Another passage in these communications relates to the particulars of an interview which took place at the town dues office between the receiver and Mr. James Parker, the member for St. Anne's Ward,-- not Mr. C. S. Parker, as erroneously reported by several of our contemporaries. Mr. Corrie informed the Council that Mr. Parker had called upon him and gave the conversation which passed, in some• thing like the following amusing and dramatic ) the burgesses of the town, as I shape : Mr. Parker asked to see a book of rates, and after several evasive answers, he said, I want to know the ' Mr. Corrie asked him whether he was a mem ber of the Town Council, and he replied in the affirma tive, adding, Neither the Mayor nor the Town-clerk has any right to interfere with me. (Laughter.) lam independent of the Council and of them both.' Mr. Corrie asked, Do you wish to have a copy of the rates to take away ?' Mr. Parker—' Yes.' Mr. Corrie— ' Then I must state that all the copies are in use.' Mr. Parker—' But let me see it ; I have a right to see it.' Mr. Corrie called for a copy, and Mr. Parker began reading, commencing at A, and going half through. He then put it down without saying anything, and, making a long bow, left the room. (Great laughter.)" Now we would suggest to Mr. Corrie that, in a communication of a strictly official nature, it was not necessary to say whether a gentleman with whom he has had an interview on official business, " made a low bow" before leaving the room, or whether he commenced reading at Aor B. Mr. Corrie's duty was simply to state facts, and as many of them as he thought proper; but he was not required to be at all funny at the expense of Mr. Parker or any other member of the Council. ROBBERY FROM A FLAT.—A youth named James Ed wards, alias Williams, was yesterday charged at the Police Court with having stolen from the cabin of the flat Mary Jane, lying near the Queen's Dock, a cap, a waist coat, a shirt, and other articles of wearing apparel. It appeared that the master of the flat had left her about 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and the articles were then safe and locked in the drawers. It was afterwards found that the locks had all been forced, the drawers upset, and the goods abstracted. About half-past five the same night, police-constable Marks observed the prisoner on the west side Queen's Dock, with a pilot -coat on, and asked him what vessel he belonged to—to which he replied " the Rapid." Suspecting all was not right he apprehended him, and enquiry being made, the owner was discovered and identified all the articles, which, with exception - of the coat, were found concealed about his person. The rtes committed. He was tOt.
