Ebr Zibrrpool k-,tanbarb. TUESDAI MO RA /NG, OCT. 24, 1843 We have -.gain and again entreated the attention of the legislature to the mischievous operation of the system of joint-stock banking; and we have this day before us, once more, the affairs of a con cern which, above all others, has demonstrated to the world the ruinous consequences with which that system is pregnant. Need we say that the concern in question is THE BANK OF MANCHESTER? About eight months ago, it will be remembered, the commercial communi.y was startled by the an- nouncement, made at a special meeting of the shareholders in this wretchedly, if not dishonestly, conducted affair, that the entire paid-up capital, amounting to more than £700,000 sterling, had been squandered in propping up a multitude of bubble undertakings and bubble firms ; and that it would still require an additional call upon the already-im poverished proprietors, to the amount of upwards of £lOO,OOO, to raise it from its position of insol vency. 'We had then statements of assets and lia bilities, of bills overdue and accounts overdrawn, the result of which, upon paper, flattered the de ceived victims, whose all had been nearly swallowed up, that, by a little additional drain upon their means—a little extra exhaustion of the savings of past years—they might be enabled to wash their hands of the trade of joint-stock banking, and sit down in their poverty, relieved from the fear of cir cular letters, slips of parchment, and visitors even more unacceptable and less easily evaded. Well, what is the result, as exhibited at a meet ing of the same concern, held in Manchester on Saturday last lised ? led we can find little that is novel accompanied with som ition of " a ten times I probably have passed r exp assertions of fact, and an comparative cost with which he has favoured us, further than to undeceive our fellow-townsmen with respect to the asserted enormous addition to the debt of the dock estate—to the amount, we are told, of a million and a half—which is to be the result of these purchases. The securing of the land is all that is contended for ; and that object, with the docks in the first instance contemplated, can be achieved with an outlay of under half a million. There are few men, save the alderman himself, who will maintain that the same amount of benefit, pre sent and prospective, can he secured by the expen diture of an equal sum in the erection of his favour ite dock warehouses. Independent of a little bitterness of feeling, known to exist in the mind of Mr. Evans towards the Har rington Company, and which he gratifies by an unjustifiable attack upon the motives of that body, and upon those of a gentleman—(the mover of the resolution in the committee, whom he represents as " recently the chairman of the Harrington Dock Association," when he might have known that that gentleman had retired from office a year before the act of parliament was obtained, and is now not even a shareholder)—the animus of the present energetic opposition of the alderman is easily seen through. Extend the boundary of the dock estate, and Mr. Evans's pet warehouse scheme sustains a " heavy blow and a great discouragement." Coop up that boundary, by the erection of valuable property around it, and enclosed docks with warehouses are assumed to be our only resource! This is distinctly admitted in the article under notice. " Had the advocates of dock warehouses," says the writer, " listened to suggestions urged upon them by insi dious or timid advisers, to go for an open dock, and to take chance for getting warehouses afterwards, Liverpool would never have seen a warehouse upon the dock quays; and if the present attempts to im pose open docks upon the public succeed, the fur ther acquisition of those invaluable instruments of trade, dock warehouses, will be rendered for ever unattainable." Cruel deprivation ! May the pro phecy be realized; and so it will be if the council and the public can once be convinced that this op- Iposition of the worthy alderman is only the ware house movement in a new and ad captandum shape! who now discountenances that very forecast policy which, ten years ago, he so strenuously advocated! We shall not follow our new editorial acquaint- rong,h all the calculations and assumptions of nuendo or two, which call for a few words of refu- tation. Referring to a " recent extraordinary resolve of a majority in the Dock Committee to effect extrava gant purchases of land for the purpose of dock ex tension," Mr. Evans (from the editorial chair of our ornporary) addresses himself, in the first in- stance, to combat the position of the Dock Surveyor, who, not having the fear of the alderman before his eyes, recently "volunteered his opinion that further extension of dock accommodation was required by the trade of the port." That opinion, our readers may remember, was a very strong one. It was stated by Mr. Hartley, that such increased accom modation was urgent—as urgent as when he first came to Liverpool, in 1824 ;—and when we look at the vast increase of space which, since then, has been covered with docks, and look at the admitted fact that the trade of the port is now increasing in a ratio equal with that of its past increase, such ur gency will readily be admitted by men whose minds are not preoccupied by their own particular crotch ets. It is urged, in reply, by the editorial alder man, that the inconvenience now sustained by the shipping trade would be obviated by the " simple putting up," in the three southern docks, so con nected at present as to render it impossible to " let dry" each separately, of dock gates in reverse— an operation not quite so simple, perhaps, as Mr. Evans supposes—and by the increased facility for discharging, and the increased space afforded, when the Albert Dock and his pet warehouses shall be completed. We contend, on the contrary, that such remedies are totally inadequate to the evil at present existing; that giving Mr. Evans the benefit of the fullest real►zation of his hopes, with respect to the working of his warehouse scheme, and his " simple putting up" of transverse gates, to disconnect, when required, the three southern docks, the additional dock accommodation gained will barely carry us on to the period at which the earliest portion of the .„._ I measures contended for by the majority of the Dock ...

Liverpool. Oct. 18th, 1843. " Preach the word.' 2. Timothy, iv. 2." ALLEGED STEALING OF AN ANCHOR:AND CHAINS. —At the Police court, yesterday, John Daney, a respect ably dressed young man, was charged with having carried off an anchor and two chains, from the yard of a Mr. Wilson, on Saturday. The prisoner said he had bought them from Mr. Cumming, who had the sale of them. Mr. Cumming admitted that he had been bargaining with him, and it eventually appeared on cross-examination by Mr. Rushton that some agreement had been made about the purchase. Mr. Rushton said there had been a pur chase and sale, and discharged the prisoner. THEFT BY A SERVANT.—Yesterday, at the Police conrt, a female named Elizabeth Glover, in the service of a Mrs. Gordon, was charged with stealing a gold ring and other small articles, the property of her mistress. Some suspicion had arisen, an d s h e was apprehended on Sun day morning, when the gold ring was found on her person. The prisoner, who appeared to be much distressed, said she picked it out of the ashes when she swept out the nursery ; that she bad next day found four sovereigns on the carpet, which she had given to her mistress, and had given her back all but the ring. She was committed for trial. CHARGE POR COMMISSION. HASICAYNE V. FORD.—In this case Mr. James Has kayne was plaintiff, and Mr. Ford the defendant. The declaration was for work and labour done and fir com mission. The defendant pleaded never indebted. It ap peared that the plaintiff was a ship-broker in an bumble way, and the plaintiff was a master mariner, at present being mate of the Jane Stanley, and the claim which the plaintiff sought to recover was the sum of £lO for com mission in assisting to purchase one-fourth of the Jane Stanley, and for procuring the command of that vessel for the defendant. The usual per centage on such tran sactions was 1 per cent. The share cost £440, and the remainder of the charge was for procuring the com mand of the vessel. For the defendant it was allowed that the plaintiff was entitled to 1 per cent on the mo ney actually paid, (which was only £300,) but the charge for procuring the situation of captain was entirely repu diated. The jury found for the plaintiff—damages, £lO. DAWBURN AND DAVIES v. CRITCHLEV.—In this case Seacombe Dawburn and Joseph Davies, tailors and drapers, sought to recover XS from John Critchley, for a suit of clothes.—Verdict for the plaintiff in the sum claimed. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. BEAN.—The remains of Mr. Bean arrived in town on Monday last, per railway, and were interred on Wednesday, in the Necropolis, Low hill. The hearse was followed by six mourning coaches, and the private carriage of Robert Ellison Harvey, Esq. In addition to the large body of Mr. Bean's more imme diate connexion and friends, and who were present at the funeral, there was a numerous attendance of highly re spectable gentlemen, of all parties, on the funeral ground, many of whom gave unequivocal tokens of the respect in which they held the deceased. The service was performed by the Rev. Dr. Raffles. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—On Friday night last the first of a series of lectures on the beautiful and sublime science of astronomy was delivered, at this institution, by one of the first and most popular lecturers of the day, Mr. Wallis. The second lecture will be delivered this evening. The course consists of eight lectures. A large beautiful orrery and numerous transparencies, including a map of the moon, and mechanical apparatus, will be in troduced for the purpose of rendering the lecture additio nally interesting. The lovers of science, and all who possess a taste for the sublime and beautiful, will avail themselves of the opportunity of witnessing this highly interesting and attractive course. FALL OF MR. PLATT'S ROSIN wonics.---On Friday evening, a little before six o' c lock, part of the new rosin works erected by Mr. Platt, in Greenland-street, on the ruins of the late fire, came down suddenly with a tre mendous crash. As there were from a do zen to fif teen men employed on the premises, great alarm was excited for their safety, but fortunately two only were seriously injured. one of whom expired at two o'clock on the fol lowing morning. It appears that the top of the building consisted of a reservoir, filled with water, and that this became too heavy for the walls. The wall on the west side gave way, and unfortunately fell on the two men at work outside. They w ere b oth i nstantly removed to the Southern Hospital. The reservoir did not exactly come down, but st ooped on one side su ffi ciently to flood t h e place and ext inguish all the fires.

The plain tiff averred that he entered into the defendant's employ ment, and served up to July, 1843, according to the terms of the agreement, and was willing to continue up to the end of the term, but the plaintiff illegally, and without reason, discharged him. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff did not serve according to the terms of agreement, that he neglected hi s wor k , wor k e d for other persons in his employer's time, used defendant's materials for such work, and fraudently sold the defendant's materials. Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Arnold for the defendant. The plaintiff was a watch jeweller, and the defendant carried on business in Bold-street, under the firm of Litherland, Davies, and Co. In the beginning of the year 1840, the plaintiff was engaged by the defendant for a period of six years, at a salary of 40s. per week for the first two years, and 50a. per week for the remainder. In 1842 some misunderstanding arose between the parties and another agreement was entered into in November. By y a t n hs t ff thefor plaintiff the rernwa remainder d t e o r continue nthef term thern for s r e 4 r o v B i c . e a of week,the but in July last the plaintiff was discharged, and the ac tion was brought to recover compensation for being so dismissed. On the part of the defendant, witnesses were called to prove that the plaintiff was very irregular in his at tendance at the shop, and also to prove that he sold jewels.to the watch finishers, when they broke them, at a cheaper rate than they wo u ld h ave been furnished by Mr. Davies, and th e . inference which th e l earned counsel wished to draw from the evidence wits that the plaintiff in his em ployers time put in :the jewels for the finisher, charged them a cert a i n sum f or it and pocketed this sum, although he had tak en a j ewel b elonging to his employer.
