Retaining still the modified opinions on the whole subject, expressed in our last, and which, we believe, are held by many other parties, much bet ter competent to form a judgment upon its details than ourselves, we must confess that we are startled at the earnestness with which it is now about to be pressed upon our local bodies by the American portion of the emigrant shipping -inte rest.

We look in va i n f or any wor k s o f from measures o f p rac ti ca l use f u l ness, should be this kind. Year after year we have had to be told, avoided. in reply to applications for Corporate aid, that "there were no surplus funds." Our Liberal rulers had been afraid, apparently, of their own munificence, and provided this drain as a barrier against its exercise. St. George's-hall is now approaching its com pletion, and will certainly be an ornament to the town; hut, with a singular blindness, we have not provided even one respectable approach to it. An opportunity was afforded a few years ago, by the dropping in of the !ease of the Queen's Arms Hotel, in Castle-street, to form a magnificent approach, and, at the same time, to add another lung to the town. The old plea, "no surplus," was urged ; the Bank of England offered a good price for the site, and the opportunity was lost for ever. What has been the effect of this and other sad errors committed by our reformed Corporation ? We reply, to add vastly and unnecessarily to the burthens of the town, and, by driving a portion of our population to the outskirts to de-Tease the productive value of the estate itself. Had our local rulers gone to work in a sensible way, and provided the useful instead of the ornamental, (or at all events the useful first), the money squandered upon St. George's Hall would have sewered our streets, opened out good thoroughfares, and added largely to the comfort, the convenience, and salu brity of the town, without their being compelled to borrow :money, or to levy rates, for any of these purposes; - We might point out many similar acts of im providence on the part of our reformed Corpora tion; and to ruinous sacrifices of valuable property, which have been rendered compulsory upon them by the condition of financial difficulty in which, from their first entrance upon the management of the Corporate Estate, they placed themselves.

WhLre neither of these remedies is resorted to, the course is usually to throw the surplus, for liana for home consumption in enlarged quantities, upon the foreign markets, in the hopes that the issue may produce the mini mum amount of sacrifice. It is seldom, however, that this over-export is continued over so long a period as it has been this year to the East Indies and the United States. To the former, in the face of bad accounts by each overland mail, the exports from the manufacturing districts were kept up at an increase over those of previous years until a crash was obviously impend- Tie new council, aria indeed many coun- ing, and those markets are only now beginning to cils to follow, if both themselves and constituents be relieved of the vast accumulations of goods would take this common sense and proper view of forced upon them.

We quote the following upon thi'm subject from acquaintance with the property of the whole town, some remarks in the New York Courier and En ani of the wants of our population of every class, quirer, of the 9th inst., under the head of "New together with his ability of pressing his views upon York dry-goods market :" the attention of the council and the public, render "In comparing the business during the month of Sep his presence in that body peculiarly desirable at the ternber just past with that of last year, wa learn from Mi.- good authority, that the sales did not amount to three quarters of those last year. This must surprise many, when they consider that last year the cholera was pre vailing over a great part of the United States ; that the wheat crop was a bad one, crippling trade in the western section, whilst this year everything looks healthy and the cereal crops have not been better for years. An attentive reader of oar weekly reports, however, will have found, that we predicted this all along in words not to be mis understood, and we have warned importers, jobbers, and other dealers that such a state of things must come, if they did not adhere to their legitimate business. The importation this year has been overwhelmingly large, and the consequence has been that in face of rising prices of the raw materials and of manufactured goods in Eng land, and on the continent of Europe, goods were sell ing all the season long at much less than they could be imported or bought for at the places of production. Yet notwithstanding the low prices which were taken at . private sale, we still see the auction rooms filled with goods, end a short visit to the public Wes will convince everybody that there must be some who suffer severely. But who the sufferer is, remains in nine out of ten cases, a secret between the auctioneer and the merchant, evi dently because the latter fears that his credit may be in jured. Within a few days we have heard of several failures in the West and in the East, and part in our midst, but not to sufficient extent to affect the public confidence." Thus, then, the fact of our increased exports having been sold at all, is not a proof of any legiti mate demand, but rather arises from "importers, jobbers, and other dealers," not having "adhered to their legitimate business." Speculation has been largely at work. Brother Jonathan, acute in his generation, has been keeping up the produc tion of the millowners of Lancashire, and encou raging those millowners to buy his high-priced cotton, by buying up their cotton gnods f —at his own price though—for we are told that "goods were selling all the s2ason through at much less than they could be imported, or bought, for at the place of production !" What a rebuke of the boasted sagacity of our manufacturing friends is contained here. But, more important still, what a proof of the utter deceptiveness of tables of ex ports g and imports, as tests of prosperity ! While our Manchester friends, and the government themselves, were pointing with such a triumphant air to the great increase in their shipments of cot ton goods to the United States, a great proportion of those goods were being sold, on their arrival, at less than they were worth in the country where they were produced. THE CAMBRIAN CHOIR.--We beg to call the attention of our readers to an advertisement under this head in another part of our paper. The choir, we are given to understand, consists of about seventy-five persons, and although they .sing without any accompaniment, they are remarkable for the precision and spirit with which they execute the most difficult pieces. Our musical friends may expect a treat of no ordinary kind. OPEN AIR PREACHING.—A meeting of clergy was held in St. Mark's Church, Duke-street, on Friday, " to consider the propriety of adopting open air preaching as an instrument for improving the spiritual condition of the inhabitants of Liverpool and its neighbourhood." The circular convening the meeting was signed—" John Jones, Hugh M`Neile, Frederick Barker, William Pol lock, D. D. Stewart." We understand that the proposi tion met with general approval. It was, however, consi dered that the campaign should not be commenced until the spring, when the weather will be more genial. GRAND CONCERT.—We perceive that a grand concert will take place on Thursday, the 7th November, in aid of the funds of St. Anne's Dispensary. The splendid band of the 52d Regiment will lend its efficient services, and many of the leading vocalists and instrumentalists are en gaged. No doubt the public will be glad to forward the object of the promoters, as the charity is in nee d o f a ll the funds that can b e obtained. The poor in the district have for a length of time received the most substantial benefits from the institution, which, we trust, will not be allowed to have its sphere of usefulness curtailed. In another part of our paper will be found the ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF A SEAMAN ON BOARD details of two assaults one committed in Ranelagh-st.

The Share market was very active for the first three days of the week, but flagged a little during the latter part of it, owing to the very heavy settlement. On Sa turday and to-day, however, it again shews symptoms of improvement, and promises another advance. London and North-Western and York and North-Midland are asked for this evening at an advance upon the prices of the day. The day's transactions are—Holyhead prefer ence, 101; Leeds stock, 491 4 ; Ditto Fifth.. 74 d. ; Lan caster and Carlisle, 614; London stock, 1174 118 ; Ditt o Quarters, 24 13/9 4 p. ; Ditto C Quarters, 24 p. ; Midland stock, 434 4 4; Ditto Halves, 214 d. ; North British, 71 ; Old Dovers, 204 4; York and North Midland, 244 k 4 4 4 ; Belfast Junction, 28 d. ; Steam Tug, 74.

Bar Iron, £4 10s. to £4 12s. 6d. in Wales, with some tran sactions. The sales of cotton since Friday amount to 14,000 bags, of which 4,000 are taken on speculation and for export. To-day's sales are 6,000 bags, 1,000 being taken on specu lation. Any little depression that took'place last week is fully recovered, and the market seems steady. The arrivals since Friday are two vessels from the United States. Havannah advices of the 21st ul. imo state that the prices of Sugar still show a further tendency to advance. The quantity left for export is very inconsiderable, and the United States will most likely take the greater part of it. Our quotations are as follow :—Whites, 255. 6d. to 28s. per cwt., on board ; ditto,' fine and choice, 295. 2d. to 30s. 4d. ; yellows, 19a.

The following is the report of the West Indian mar kets brought by the steamer yesterday : " KINOSTON, JAMAICA, Sept. 24.—Prices of Breadstuffs— that is of Flour and Meal—have declined since our last. The market was rather heavily supplied at that period, an d, th ere having appeared but little disposition on the part of the trade to make speculative purchases at the prices then current, holders were obliged to submit to lower rates in order to effect sales. There has been, nevertheless, but little business done, the trade holding back under the fear of a glut of ground pro visions, and a consequently reduced consumption of the imported articles The markets on Saturday last were rather well supplied with native vegetables, and fruit was very abundant. The yield this season promises to be considerable. " The produce market is looking un, and prices are likely to be well supported for some time. There has been a rather brisk demand for Rum for exportation, and Sugar continues to improve under a good inquiry and moderate stock. Pi mento is very firm at our quotations. We do not look for Coffee in any considerable quantity until the commencement of the year; but the small parcels which are now and then brought in usually sell at 335. to 38s. per 100 lb."

At several Wesleyan chapels persons cannot be found to carry collecting boxes round to the congregations, on account of the feelings against the proceedings of the Conference. MUNICIPAL MEETINGS.—Since our last, meetings have been held in several of the wards to promote the return of the respective candidates. At a numerous meeting of the burgesses of West Derby Ward on Friday, it was determined to support Mr. J. M. Wood, who declared himself an advocate of rating the docks, and of the sys tem of education at present carried out in the Corporation Schools. Mr. Hardy, in supporting Mr. Wood, denounced the address put forth by Mr. Eyre Evans, as one of the most arbitrary, insolent, dictatorial, and impudent, that had ever been issued : and after inflicting upon Mr. Evans a severe castigation for the part he had taken in dock affairs, said that he had been brought forward by that Judas of the Town Council, Mr. Walthew, who had been induced to do so, in consequence of Mr_ Evans having subscribed £5 towards his election expenses, but against whom (Mr. Walthew) there was a large out standing account on that s , :ore. On the same evening two meetings were held in Everton ward—one of Mr. Wahhew's friends and the other of the supporters of Mr. M-11or. The former meeting was addressed by Mr. Councillor Godfrey and Mr. Jones, secretary to the House-owners' Association, and was very enthusiastic. The meeting of Mr. Mellor's friends was also very cor dial, and the candidate was very favourably received. EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD.—Last night a second meeting of the friends of Mr. Welthew took place at the Phoenix Inn, Castle-street, Kirkdale. Mr. Thos. Hughes occupied the chair, and enquired if any elector wished to put any questiin to the candidate. Upon this Mr. Gandy (attorney) asked Mr. Walthew if the accounts for his former election were paid. This gave rise to great confusion and uproar, and an angry discus sion took place between Mr. Gandy, Mr. Jones, Mr. John Haydock, and several others. Mr. Jones entered into the details of the circumstances which had given rise to the question,and clearly showed that Mr. Walthew had nothing whatever to do with the matter. Mr. Haydock (to whom tlle .ccount was alleged to be due) said he did zr)t say Ati. Walthew had anything personlly to do wth the m fitter, but, as an honourable man, he ought to see the : ccount paid. After something like ord,:r had been re...gored, Mr. Walthew addressed the meeting .and after explf ining that the business of the out standing accounts was without his knowledge, and that the election expenses had cost him more than £5O out of his own pocket, He entered into the various topics which had been brought before the Council during the last three years, and pledged himself, if returned, to do his utmost for the benefit of the ratepayers.—A vote of confidence jn Mr. Walthew was then passed, and the meeting separated. ..ii.. - -;..i. --- .. -- ............ ___-- he, he cannot ben/rooted.

Mr. H. C. Chapman, the well-known American merchant, was the complainant in the case, which had caused some excitement in the court, the bench being occupied by Mr. Turner, Mr. Bradley, and several other magistrates besides Mr. Rushton. A large number of merchants were also pre. sent in the court. Mr. Chapman stated that, on Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, he walked down to the Palatine Club, for the purpose of reading the papers. After the lapse of half an hour, he came out, and stood on the steps of the club-house : while there, he observed the prisoner pass the club. After going a few yards up the street, he turned round and planted himself in front of the door. At this time Mr. Chapman was in conversation with a gentleman, and the fellow obtruded himself on their notice by making use of abusive expressions : he advanced to Mr. Chapman, who felt some misgiving that the fellow's object might be plunder, and consequently congratulated himself on the fact of his coat being closely buttoned up. The man's impudence, however, was not to be balked easily—he walked up to Mr. Chap man and appeared to be admiring the rotundity of. his person ; and although he now proceeded to pass his hands over Mr. Chapman's breast, that gentleman refr-' general" awl moony revna...-- is the ultimate o bj ec t.

At this time it transpired that the man had a companion who was aiding him in the assault, but who, uprn seeing that affairs were growing serious, made off. The police were sought for in vain for some time ;—in the interim, the man was taken by the assist ance of the bystanders, at the club, when he was de tained until a policeman arrived, who, however, refused to take him into custody because he did not see the assault committed. As the policeman would not interfere, Mr. Chapman, assisted by a person named Reynolds, who had been knocked down half-an-hour before, in Rane iagh-street, by the same man, took the prisoner to the Hotham-street Bridewell. Here the charge was also refused by the inspector on duty, who could see that Reynolds's hat was smashed, and that his person offered other indications of having been treated roughly. Mr. Chapman observed that Reynolds was a person in pos session of money—a fact, no doubt, known to the prisoner, whose object he conceived to be robbery. He had to comrlain of the conduct of the police ; for, from what h had seen, he thought there w the inspector at Hotham-street, whose refusal of the charge made it necessary for them to proceed to the police-office in High-street, and even there the inspector refused to book the man for the assault; but, fortu nately, one of the detective officers (Bates) happened to be in the office, and he took the parties over to the Main Bridewell, where he was booked as drunk. Mr. Chapman said be and the other gentlemen present felt it to be a public duty to represent the apparent in capacity of the Inspector in charge of Hotham-street Station, as under the present Police Regulations no per son is protected unless the police force be increased so as to have every street patrolled.

The RECORDER, turning to the gentlemen of the grand jury, addressed them as follows:—Gentlemen of the grand jury : if the sessions calendar may be regarded as any index of the state of crime in the borough, I see no very great cause for alarm ; eight weeks have passed since last the grand jury met together; during that interval one hundred and nine persons have been committed to take their trials. Large as that number may appear, it is less than the average of the two former years and also than that of the same period for the last eight years, still there are various cases of a grave character, and if any one on the grand jury should happen to be there for the first time, he would have the opportunity of considerable insight as to the progress of crime in the borough. There was one case in which a clerk was charged with absconding with £270, the property of his master. There were some cases of embezzlement; and several charges against por ters, and others engaged in warehouses, for plundering property intrusted to their charge and selling the mer chandise of their employers. And there are two cases in which parties are charged with giving assistance offering facilities by receiving stolen property. A warehouse had been broken into at the upper part by opening a wall in the house adjoining, and property as much as two persons could carry away stolen before any alarm was given : in anothercase a man had broken into a house at night, and was taken in the house.—lt is a matter of surprise that a man who could bring a ship safely across the Atlantic should allow himself to be robbed b y t h e stale pretence of " wrapping up," the only novelty introduced being in the mode of effecting the robbery :—the captain was in a pub lic house, when he7was joined by strangers : one of the strangers dropped his glove ; the captain picked it up, when he was overwhelmed with civility, and his money taken care of for him. There were some cases of shop lifting—and one in which a woman had acted as a pick pocket. There were several instances of picking pockets in the markets, and one in which the offence took place in an omnibus. The practice of passing base coin might seem more common than usual, as,there were six persons in the hands of justice on that charge ; but there was no cause for alarm when it was borne in mind that this com munity consisted of 400,000 persons, and the numerous opportunities of, and temptations to, crime were consi dered. Vast quantities of merchandize were stored up in this town, and vast quantities always exposed in tran sit,—under such circumstances they must expect a consi derable amount of crime. It was the duty of that Court, and each of them, and of every jury, to separate innocence from guilt, and, whenever they found out guilt, to pass such a suitable punishment as might be presumed to act as a check to crime. After a few more observations, the learned Recorder dismissed the jury to the discharge of their duties. ACCIDENT.—On Thursd a y l as t a poor man , name d Edward Fraze r , f e ll f rom a p i le of cotton in Stone-stree t sheds, and sust a i ne d a compound fracture of the t hi g h, dislocated his wrists, and received a severe cut on his forehead. He was carried to the Infirmary, where be lies with small hopes of recovery. HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE. —On Friday the second annual genera l meeting of this society was h e ld, a t t h ree o'clock, in the committee -room of the Lyceum, the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks in the chair. The report was read by Dr. Hume, from which it appeared that there were, during the past session, 305 members conne c t e d w ith the society, of whom 74 w e re elected during the session. The new mem bers elected on the council for the ensuing session are : — S ir Phili p Gre y Egerton, Bart, M.P., F.R.S. ; P. with great and Kendrick, John hn R Manchester.
