On the previous Monday, however,—prompted, as to the particular period of his communication, by what nfluences we know not, and certainly we are not prepared to impute motives of a personal nature on the part of Mr. Corrie,—a letter was addressed by that gentleman to the Mayor, in which it was stated " a practice had prevailed for a long time past Sands and Co. of entering the packages of manufactured goods exported by them, such as cottons, woollens, &c., almost inva- in the office of Messrs ably as trusses and boxes, rarely entering any as ales, cases ~nests; thus making them charge ble only ith the lower rate of town-dues, the dif- bales, cases, or 3rence of rate on those packages, respectively, aeing Id. each." On his first knowledge of such an imputation, Mr. Sands laid the whole case before ing upon their advice and his his friends own honourable impulse, upon the proposition of his name on Thursday for the office of Mayor, at once intimated his determination not to accept such office, however highly he rated the honour proposed to be conferred upon him in its bestowal, until he should be able, by submitting to a full investigation into the nature of the charge alleged, to stand clearly exonerated in the eyes of his fellow-citizens. The result of that declaration was, that, pending such investigation, the Council decided to postpone their choice of Mayor by an adjournment ; and the sub ject will, therefore, come before them for ultimate In the meantime, as suggested at the Council meeting, a committee of merchants sate on Friday last, Wm. Brown, Esq. in the chair, for the purpose of investigating the facts upon which the charge of Mr. Corrie was founded. The resolutions of that meeting, by which the character of the house of Messrs. Sands, Turner, and Co. was completely cleared of every imputation of dishonour, will be found in another column. Upon this result being known, a meeting of the friends of Mr. Sands was called, which took place yesterday, at which the fol- owing additional resolutions were unanimously come to " Resolved :—That this meeting having already fully exonerated Messrs. Sands, Turner, and Co., from the charges brought against them in Mr. Corrie's letter of the 6th November, is unanimously of opinion that Mr. Sands should withdraw his objection to being nominated as Mayor for the present year. (Signed' WM. BROWN, Chairman of the Meeting." " Resolved :—That the chairman and members of the committee wait upon Mr. Sands with the above resolu- WM. BROWN." Signed To the deputation thus appointed, the reply of Mr. Sands was that he consented to be nominated for the office of Mayor ; and we have no doubt th - at his election will be carried this day by a large ma jority, if not unanimously. And, so indeed, it ought Independently of the great merit of Mr. Sands as a public man, we feel assured that the Con servative members of the Council will be prepared to mark their sense of the injustice which any other course might tend to cast upon his honour, by a ready and hearty adoption of his claims to the dis tinguished position, in which it is within their power ace him In our last publication, whilst referring to the re cent sale, by the Finance Committee, of a portion of their Wall ase y E sta t e , we ex p resse d an opinion that the period was less remote than was generally sup posed, when the people of Liverpool might be com pelled to look towards the opposite shore of the Mersey, in search of accommodation for the in creasing shipping of the port. At that time we were certainly not aware that the question had ar rived so near maturity. It is now, however, before We have remarked elsewhere upon the circum stances which have left, as it were, in abeyance the office of mayor and the choosing of the various committees, by whom are regulated the local affairs of this town. Upon these, therefore, here nothing to say. But upon some matters con sey will t ered the cheapest and most exten- blication of this day we present we have s opinion nected with the case, as between Mr. Sands, in common with other merchants of the port, and the town dues office, there are a few points upon which the present crisis affords us fair opportunity for re mark, and of which we gladly avail ourselves. Mr. Sands was accused of having evaded the payment of town dues, inasmuch as he had entered as trusses what were in reality bales, and as boxes what were in reality cases, thereby paying only half the rates which were properly payable. Now the first questions which present themselves are— " What is a truss ? what is a bale ?—what is a box ? what is a case ?" Obviously, it will be said, a truss is a small bale, and a box a small case. The regu lations of the town office say that for a truss only half-rates are payable, and for a box only half-rates. But who is to say where the term " truss" is limited, and where the term "bale" commences; or where the term " box" merges into the term "case ?" We have had some little experience in these mat ters ; and we never knew that there was any very distinct border line to separate the one from the other. A haberdasher's phrase would call that a bale or a case which a general merchant's would call a truss or a box. The terms, in fact, are in their application entirely capricious—dependant upon the circumstances of the party shipping, and the value of the goods shipped ; and the absurdity of attempt ing to establish any distinction between them is sufficiently shewn by the fact that the differential rates have for some years been abandoned by the Dock Committee. We will give an instance or two in proof of the inutility of such differential rates, and of the impos sibility of founding a charge of moral turpitude on the ground of thier non-observance. In our South American and some other trades, we export, say a bale of printed calicoes, bleached cambrics, or any other similar articles. And how are these packed ? Why, in nine cases out of ten, we put some dozen or twenty trusses into one hooped bale, in order that, on arrival, they may be sold in ready-packed parcels of a size suitable for transport on mules to the inte rior. Or, in the case of yarns, we do the same, that She numbers may be conveniently separated for pur chasers. Is it a moral offence that we thus endea vour to provide facilities for our trade in South America and many other of our markets ? Not at all. We don't look at the paltry penny or halfpenny saved in town dues. The extra cost of packing, of itself, costs us twenty times the difference. The goods are packed to suit the particular trade of a particular market; and yet by packing twenty small trusses in one large bale we injure the town revenue ten times as much as by shipping one bale as a truss. Again, with respect to the difference between " boxes" and "cases :" hots often does it happen that a " case" contains many " boxes." If we ex port laces, nets, sewing cottons, and other similar descriptions of merchandise, we probably—and if we .send an assortment, most frequently—enclose half-a-dozen " boxes" in one case." Why, in doing so, we defraud the town estate of its dues, because half-a-dozen boxes would have been liable to more than one case. But such is the course of trade. Goods are so shipped, and must continue to be so shipped; and merchants and forwarding bro kers, who do not know that they are offending, are doing so every day that they carry on, honestly as they believe and honestly in reality, their ordinary business. Of course this is not precisely the way in which Messrs. Sands and Co. were reported to have of fended. Hundreds, however, do so offend against the letter of the law, as regards our town and dock dues. But, in addition to this, it would have been only charitable, before founding a grave charge against a respectable firm, to have borne in mind one or two circumstances. In the first place, a merchant or a forwarding agent, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, knows nothing whether the packages he is forwarding be cases or boxes, bales or trusses, supposing these terms to have any defi nite meaning, except as he is advised by his consti tuents; and, in the next place, he has much too little controul over the actions of the clerks who make his entries. He has no check on either side. He does not know what the Town-office calls a hale or a case, or what his clerks choose to interpret by these cabalistic terms. He is at the mercy of his own employees, who perhaps have never seen the packages in question ; of the consignees, who have given their own erroneous interpretvtion of them; and of Mr. Corrie, who may call that " a bale" which other men call a " truss," and that a " case" which other men call a "box." The only remedy which we can suggest for the difficulties certain to arise from such a state of things, is the adoption, by the Council, of the re commendation of the Committee of Merchants, held on Friday, and at once give up the attempt to esta blish any differential scale of rates upon packages not clearly definable. It is due to the merchants of the port that they should not be continually ren dered liable to have their personal integrity and ho nour impeached, without having within their reach the power of protecting themselves from the scandal. The present scale of dock rates, we may remark, is grossly unequal, and the whole requires revision. To this subject, however, we shall take another op portunity of directing the attention of the Council. TRAITORS IN THE CONSERVATIVE CAMP ; OR SPIES. We do not imagine that the Conservative members of our Council are much in the habit of perusing a paper so thoroughly popish, and withal so trashy, as the Liver pool Journal. We therefore offer no apology for bring ing before their notice the following paragraph, which appeared, on Saturday last, in an article headed " Notes on the Council Meeting by one who was present." " The inquiry kept the Town-hall in a bustle all the week ; and, on Wednesday, another gathering of the tories took place in North John-street. It was the "fiery caucus." Mr. Sands could not, or would not, be Mayor. The conservative democracy rejoiced exceed ingly; for then Mr. Alderman Lawrence would be Mayor. By no means, said the aristocrats; the Chairman of the Finance Committee has the best title. High words en sued ; much noise prevailed ; and, on a division, 17 voted for the alderman, and 11 for his opponent, making 29 present. The absent refused to be bound by this preli minary division, and the minority most gallantly came nem. con. to the same eentlennanlv and correct resolution. I may vouch for all this, for I have it from more than a dozen of those who were present." Now, either the passage which we have marked in Italics is a piece of impertinent puppyism, and the whole of the facts detailed by this scribbler are purely suppo sititious ; or " more than a dozen" Conservative members of the Council have been pandering to the malicious cu riosity of Radicalism, and betraying the proceedings of a pri va t e mee ti ng o f t h e i r own party. If they have done the latter, they will of course be able to point to the party who thus worms himself into their confidence for the purpose of giving to the public their innocent ad missions, and shnn him for the future. They must now know him ! We are however inclined to doubt somewhat that any dozen conservatives can have been so indiscreet as thus to pour their secrets into the ear of a caterer of gossip for the Radical and Popish press. How then can such gossip have found its way into the columns of the Journal, unless we entertain the supposition that it has been manufac tured? Is there any eaves dropping corporate official by whom the bye-conversation of the members of any Committee can be given to the world ? Is any paid servant of the Corporation the contributor to the col umns of the Journal, or perhaps more directly still aiding to prop up its feeble and flickering existence ? These questions must be answered and the doubts of the pub lic cleared up. A conservative community will not long tolerate a connexion, even the slightest, of any of their paid servants with a paper which can print even from its " correspondents at Rome," such seditious and tnsolent stuff as this, which purports to be the substance of a conversation between such correspondent and the Pope's Nuncio. " He then asked me had I heard any news from Ire land, or was it likely that the prosecution against O'Con nell would be followed up. I then replied it was not likely, but certain. " Well then, said he, he will never be condemned. All Europe knows that he has violated no law. I said that that was quite evident, but that we had in Ireland a bad species of Protestants, called orangemen, of which the jury would be composed, i nasmuc h as the government had the appointment of the sheriff, the sheriff had the selection of the jury, and that when a Catholic came to be tried before such juries, he was sure to be found guilty, no matter how slight the evidence, or unfounded the charge might be. _ " Hie eminence turned up his eyes to heaven, and ex claimed, God help the poor Irish ; God will protect O'Connell, for he has truth and liberty on his side—he has always been the apostle of peace." Surely, anything more directly tending to bring into contempt the laws and to inflame the passions of an ig norant population can scarcely be conceived, than this passage in a journal, whose contributors boast of their intimacy with " more than a dozen" of the Conservative Members of our Council. DINNER AT THE T OWN-FIALL.—The Mayor gave his last civic banquet at the Town-hall, on the evening of Tuesday last, upon which occasion he entertained the Earl of Sefton, the Hon. Mr. Kenyon, the Hon. Bootle Wilbraham, and a distinguished party, ACCELERATION OF THE MAILS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND THE EAST INDIES. We have received a pamphlet on this important sub - ject, by Lieut. Wagborn, R.N., a gentleman to whom the public is much indebted for his successful endeavours in promoting the - overland route to India, in its earliest stages ; and he now propounds a plan for the acceleration of the Indian mails by that route, once a fortnight. He furnishes some interesting statistics of voyages already made, as the groundwork of his propositions. With re spect to the Calcutta line, he suggests that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company should continue their ships (the Hindostan and Bentinck) according to their arrangement with the East India Company in 1841, and that the latter body should set aside one of their steamers of 760 tons, to run between Calcutta, Madras, Ceylon, Aden, and Suez, in those months of the year when the Oriental Company's steamers do not, until that company get a third large steamer to complete the arrange ment. He states—" The Hindostan, up to the present time, has made very rapid passages both ways between Suez and Calcutta, touching at Ceylon, Madras, and Aden, and has given every satisfaction to the public." With re gard to the Bombay line, he suggests that the E. I. Com pany's steamers should leave Bombay every fortnight for Aden, their other steamers being divided between Bom bay and Aden. He would send the mails (through Egypt) in:the quickest way to Alexandria, without reference to passengers ; H.M. steamers at Alexandria to start at once with them for Marseilles, on their way to London : the letters and passengers vid Southampton to come and go as they now do, by the Oriental Steam Company's steamers. The mails to and from India on the Suez side should, he contends, always remain in the hands of the E. I. Company, as " no private company can with cer tainty be contracted with, to fill up the breaks down which any unforeseen accident may occasion, for any private company on the Indian side must have recourse to the go vernment of India only to do the needful i n s uc h cases." On this point our author is certainly under a mistake. If a break down of the Peninsular Company's vessels occurs, it must be borne in mind that they would bind themselves under heavy penalties to do the work without any interruption, and this would oblige them (as we learn it is their intention) to have a spare vessel in India always ready when required. Mr. Waghorn supposes that no company but the East India Company could convey the mails with uninterrupted regularity. In this he is in error. If the Peninsular Company are bound under penalties equal to those imposed on the City of Dublin Company if they fail—namely, one hundred pounds for every hour they have no boat to start with the bags after the time of departure named in the contract, it is not likely they would be unprepared with a spare vessel in India. It is, moreover, the intention of the Peninsular Company to have a vessel at Aden, to go up and down the Red Sea exclusively with the passengers and mails; and the latter will be transhipped at Aden into steamers ready coaled— thus avoiding the delay and nuisance of coal dust at Aden. It is not improbable, we may add, but a year or two will see large steamers running, in conjunction with the Peninsular Company's vessels, from Ceylon to Australia, Van Dieman's Land, and on to our settlement of New Zealand. From Ceylon to Swan River is but a moderate stage for a steamer ; and from that settlement to Port Jackson only a few days' voyage ;—as also is the voyage to New Zealand. By this route the passage from South ampton to Port Jackson can be readily performed in sixty-three days. Our author' details his views as to the acceleratton of the outward mails to India. He also suggests, in a letter to the Earl of Aberdeen (our foreign minister), the com pletion of a steam line of communication to China, by establishing vessels to run between that country and Cey lon, to which the present line already extends. But we must refer our readers to the pamphlet itself, which is well worthy of consideration by all interested in acceler ating our communication with the East. The supplies of flour from Canada during the past week are to the amount of 13,750 barrels. VICTORIA THEATRE, (LATE QUEEN ' S.)—This thea tre which has been entirely refitted and decorated in a most tasteful manner, was opened yesterday evening un der very favourable auspices. The company are talented, and the pieces produced are new and attractive.—See advt. THE FIRE AT ROBY.—A man of the name of Richard Barker was brought up at the County Police-office, on Saturday, in the custody of Inspector Fowler, of the Prescot division, charged with having set fire to the stack of corn belonging to Mr. Gore, of Roby, the particulars of which are mentioned in another paragraph. The pri soner was only brought up to be remanded, when further evidence will be adduced. THE OUT-PENSIONERS.—LOCAL COMPANIES.—We have seen the uniform to be worn by the local companies; it is well calculated for their comfort as well as their mili tary appearance, consisting of a blue frock coat with scar let cuff and collar, dark grey trowsers with the broad red stripe, and a smart forage cap. All pensioners who are in permanent situations, or likely to suffer in employment by being occasionally called out, will be exempt, except in cases of emergency, and in this liberal minded town few employers•would be found who would object to their men being so employed, for so short a time, on a public duty of service to the community, and, what is of more conse quence, may be of use to themselves. The force in Liver pool will be a very effective one, as there is a great anxiety in the men to be selected for these companies, and officers from the half pay list, resident in Liverpool, will isrovi sionally attached to each company, to be ready i_ r ,crvice whenever required. They will be drilled a certain number of days in each year, and well paid for all that is required of them. LAUNCH OF AN IRON SCHOONER FOR THE BAPTIST MISSIONARIES TO AFRICA.—On Saturday last a beauti ful iron schooner was launched from the yard of Mr. John Laird, North Birkenhead, built for the use of the missionaries employed by the Baptist Society, with the benevolent view of spreading Christianity and civilization amongst the benighted tribes on the coast of Africa. Shortly before the hour of launching a number of ladies and gentlemen reached the yard, and an inspection of the vessel, by those who were at all versed in nautical matters, led to the conviction that she was peculiarly cal ellated, in every point, for the service for which she is intended. We do not remember to have seen a vessel of more beautiful model, or one more likely to be found a good sea-boat in a gale, and a swift sailer under ordinary circumstances. She has a hollow, or circumflex bottom, and is very sharp at both extremities,with a fine rotundity of side for bearings. One peculiarity is, that she is cal culated both for sailing and steaming, though without paddle-boxes, the admirable principle of the Archimedean screw propeller, perfected by Mr. F. P. Smith, the pa tentee, being adopted in the "dead iron" abaft. Her length is 75 feet, beam 15 feet, and burthen about 75 tons. She will be rigged as a Ballahoo schooner, with taunt inclining masts, ample spread of canvas; and is altogether one of the most rakish looking craft we have seen. When her steam is not employed, she will, doubt less, be fast under sail alone, as the " screw" can be thrown out of gear, and will scarcely, if at all, retard her speed. She went off, and plunged into her destined ele ment in fine style, amidst the shouts of the numerous spectators, and looked beautiful when afloat. The Rev. Mr. Birrell, of Liverpool, and a large party of friends were present, and the vessel received her name, " The Dove," in the usual form, from the lady of Mr. Birrell. She will draw, when completed, about six feet of water. Her en gines (of 20 horse power) are by Messrs. Geo. Forrester and Co., on the oscillating principle, with tubular boilers, brine pumps, and every improvement which the experi ence and skill of these gentlemen can supply. The ob ject for which she is sent out is to carry the missionaries from one part of Africa to another, and to ascend the rivers when requisite. The Baptists are the first who have commenced this (it is to be hoped effectual) plan of operations; and they have already an extensive establish ment of missionaries at the head quarters, in the Island of Fernando Po. The cabins will be neatly fitted, and with every regard to health and ventilation. The name of the vessel is exceedingly appropriate, and on her flag is represented " The dove, with the branch of olive." BANKRUPTCY COURT.—At the opening of the court, yesterday, Mr. Commissioner Skirrow addressed the so licitors and others present on some irregularities that had taken place during his temporary absence from his judi cial duties ; and, in order that our readers may be en abled to comprehend the subject matter of his observa tions, it is requisite to furnish a brief prefaratory explana tion. It appears that the two commissioners, Messrs. Skirrow and Phillips, had agreed to take a two months' " holyday" in the year, to visit their friends ; that Mr. Skirrow had beeen absent for that period, his duties de volving on Mr. Phillips in the interim ; and that in the interim the latter gentleman had occasion to complain of the conduct towards himself of some of the officers of the court; and it further appeared that some irregularity had taken place in obtaining a certificate from one of the offi cers of the court relative to the practice pursued there which was not usual or legitimate. The latter case al luded to was one in which Mr. Green had complained that the estate of a merchant, for whom he was concern ed, had been wasted in expenses in that court ; Mr. Turner, a merely ministerial officer of the court, had also been called upon to make an affidavit of the practice of the court in such cases, which he had no right to do, and this affidavit had not at first been filed, but was afterwards filed, having (as we understood) been suffered to be re ceived by the court. The learned Commissioner (Skir row) addressed the court at considerable length, and ap parently labouring under painful feelings, on these topics. He said that he had to express his deep regret and his surprise at the occurrences that had transpired in his absence. The learned Commissioner bad complained, in no very measured language, of the conduct towards him of Mr. Owen, messengers' clerk, and also of the official assignees, of the conduct of all of whom to himself he spoke in terms of the highest praise. He was the more sur prised that such a complaint should have arisen. He had ever found Mr. Owen and the other gentlemen most at tentive and polite, and they had all been highly recom mended on obtaining their present situations. If Mr. Owen had insulted the learned commissioner, it was open a do—h t o ofi th mtw tl h i t a e eat t no l po a drft t ahh t vio , rce.e a l Tdh n i d ufßmr l at i nh i pi e s l auer d ty: ai cn t ao y mtnou to d rne o t iui. ts m s t was e a oTra k di hs e ayil outxoocwr ffie caec a osdeni w rmnt e a ogom r fl r r yep ih a t t n mt t aohtpf against . He would advance no opinion on th e mer i t of these cases; o s but there was one case on which h e cou ld not but remark who been ca ll e d upon to give an opinion, by affidavit, permitted in any c ourt, f rom the Court of Queen's Bench The affidavit had not then been filed, and the 42nd order of the Court required that all certificates should be filed. He utterly disclaimed, on his own part, giving sanction to such a system. After some remarks on the newspapers, to which he inferred some erroneous reports bad been carried, and declaring his total independence of such ve hicles of information, he concluded by passing a warm panygeric on the attention he had received from all the officers of the Court.—and the usual business (of an un interesting nature) was allowed to proceed, Ebt Kibrrpool &tanDarl3.
