Yearly subscription : In Advance• On Cr (lit, 15s. vO, MARCH 30, 1847 TUESDAY MORNIN THE report of the surveying officers on the Liverpool Watenvorks Bill, Messrs. Herbert and rage, is now published, and it is gratifying to -ourselves to find that, upon the evidence adduced before them, these gentlemen have arrived.at very scimitar conclusions to those which we have at- tempted to place b tile report in gnesic our readers. Practically a condemnation of the 19 CYLIU, supply of tihilst it s i from a distance ; )f the practicability of ltity of water for all the tlation under the red emidStone formation of Liverpool itself, within or 'adjacent to the district upon which the works of the existing companies are located. We have already given the evidence upon which _ _ requirements this report is founded at considerable length, and we are bound to say that it has been most fairly laid, in substance, before the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to whom Messrs. 11:rbert and Page have handed in their conclusions. Our duty, therefore, will now be merely to give _ our readers a brief statement of the impression which that evidence, combined with their own local examination, has produced upon the minds of those gentlemen. In doing this, we shall deviate from the order in which the opinions of the sur veying officers are given in their report, and corn h the Bala Lake or River Dee Project. )wledge, in the outset of m this scheme, that the evidence before them was somewhat one-sided, being taken from MI. Hawksley, Mr. Cubitt, and Mr. Rendel, with whom its originator, Mr. Rowlinson, did not mence The rveyors their remarks ui appear to have had licient communication to them to arrive at a just conclusion. Their own objections are its expensiveness, the total enable cost being estin £1,500,000, i I by competent partie - zowlinson himself put it hich might be reduced m of a permanent duct ) feet apart, and 250 down at£s94 for the wale feet as the maximum height in crossing valleys, in lieu of pipes. Another objection, which has weighed with them, is the deficiency of the eleva tion, the fall per mile from Ventre to Kensington tieing only 1 foot 7 inches, which would only have been sufficient to deliver the water into the reser voir without any elevation into the stand pipe. Possibly t .tion might have been obviated tut they obser " Cceieris paribus, the great length of the line, inde renclently of the expense which the passage of the two galleys of the river Weaver at Frodsham, and the river Mersey at Runcorn, would have incurred, (expensive, if executed in the most economical manner,) offers, we may infer, strong reasons for the Corporation not to have pro- Eaded further with the plan than to refer it to the en neers above mentioned. We do not feel it desirable t we should enter into calculations so as to give an Opinion in detail upon its_ merits and its objections, but Ee think it right to . state, that Mr. Rav;linsoli has brought o bear on the subject much research into the works of for- - er ages, and information upon those of the present. Praiseworthy admiration of the former appears to have zestion, the execution em barra of which would apparently, and, in the opinion of those referred to, involve an expense proportionate more to the wants and means of a great district than to those of a town even of the importance of Liverpool; and although the adoption of these may not be necessary for the per fection of the plan, the substitutions for them would still lbe_obiectionable on the ground of delay and expense. "Nevertheless, for a district containing several popu lous towns, the expenses of a plan like this would be far more than counterbalanced by the advantages resulting from an abundant supply of water so free from objections as that of the Dee ; and when our progressive legislation shall have attained to the desiderable point of consolida- and management of public works, so i they may best contribute to the economy, health and comfort of the people, projects like this of Mr. Raw iinson's may equal in grandeur and utility those works of the Romans to which he alludes, or the American aquc- tins the exp of the present day With respect to the Holywell scheme, sug,_ by Mr. Gossage, the surveyors find an objection both in the quantity of water capable of _being furnished and its elevation. The quality both of this water and the Bala Lake they admit to be excellent. With respect to it they state in con clusion : Bested "Besides the insufficiency of the springs, one great de fect in the plan is the want of suflcient head to supply the reservoirs in Liverpool, and the unavoidable expense which would attend any mode of crossing the Dee and Mersey. The great recommendation is the value of the water ; but as the merits of a project must be taken in connexion with the cost of its execution, we are not en abled to state the relation between them in the present In their remarks upon the supply proposed to be derived from Rivington Pike, the surveyors seem to have come to very nearly the same con clusions as those arrived at by Mr. Cunningham, and appear to have attached great weight to his evidence, as to the unfavourable nature of the strata for the retention of water in the Anglezark and Rodnlesworth reservoirs.

That such an arrangement, either under the direct management, or tinder the direct control of the Corporation, would be in accordance with the recommendation of the Committee of the Council, both as to the consolidation. of the works, and to the terms of treaty with the existing companies, "whose clear and undoubted right to be dealt with justly" would appear to have been recognised by the Council.

Free trade was to effect for them wonders. The mill-owner, the calico-printer, the Manchester warehouseman, and the Leeds clothier were to become the salt of the earth ; to step into the mansions and grasp the acres of the old nobility of the land. They were to spin, and weave, and print, and dye for the whole world ; and, in return, the w(alth of the world was to flow into their coffers. Alas for the prescience of the sages! One by one their boldly-asserted prophecies, of the beneficial tendency of their pet measure, have been falsified. The manufacturing districts, which were to have been flooded with prosperity, are in a state of wretchedness and po- he unemployed and half,employ tives exceed in number those who are working. Our foreign trade, which was to have increased in calculably, has diminished ; and, but for the ability to consume, which high prices have conferred upon the British farmer, the warehouses of Manchester and Leeds might, one-half of them, be closed, and their clever occupants have additional leisure given a t I the a to sit down at home and calculate the cost of the success of their injurious agitation One of the most confid( Lt iv-asserted of their doctrines was, that a free trade in corn would have a beneficial effect upon the currency, and would not produce any drain for specie. Our supplies of foreign grain were to be paid for in manufactured goods and British produce exclusively. This dream of dotage or of folly has, however, been dissipated by that best of all tests- nd, strangest thing of all, a league organ has been brought to confess the fact that, whenever Great Britain im ports largely of the rich stores of food, by which she was to be made so prosperous, she may prepare herself for a monetary crisis. The following is a portion of the admission in question, contained in a leading article in the Manchester Examiner, paper, of which it is strongly asserted that Mr. John Bright, M,P., or one of the Brights, is the proprietor, and which is at all events his recognized organ in Manchester : We have, " remarks the Examiner, , " from time to time, since ecember last, when the drain of gold on the Bank of England commenced, brought this important subject before our readers, and, at the risk of being con sidered alarmists, we have not hesitated candidly to state our views, and to warn the public of the unavoidable difficulties in prospect, arising from the disturbance in the currency caused by the demand for bullion for e.rpor tation in payment of 0127 - that the reports We are convinced discussions, entered upon in a proper spirit, and with the sole view to elicit truth, have been attended with the most beneficial results, and that the caution in duced by the warnings of the public press has had the effect of mitigating a calamity which could not altogether be avoided. We make no apology. therefore, for again submitting our reasonsfor the views we entertain. The circumstance which has recently tended most to give an improved tone to the money market, has been the seasonable relief afforded to the Bank of France by the sale of stock to the Russian Government, to the amount of about £2,000,000 sterling. This transaction will, no doubt, have, ultimately, a favourable effect, on our market; but we do not yet see any alteration in the state of the foreign exchanges with this country, which indicates pros pects of a decline in the demand for specie for exporta tion. Corn, and other kinds of produce, are arriving in great quantities from all parts of the world, for which payment will shortly be required either in manifacturea or bullion. Our exports are far from corresponding with the value of our imports,,and there does not appear at present any prospect of such an increase as will be suffi cient to cover them ; the difference must, therefore, be made up by a continued export of bullion, and in the ex isting state of the Bank of England, a continued drain of gold must result in increased pressure on the money market." Of course, all the world knew that this drain for bullion would inevitably follow a largely-increased importation of foreign-grown food, or of any fo reign product. Nothing short of idiotcy could have failed to perceive a fact so obvious. It is as clear as that, if you put a pound weight in one scale, and only half a pound in the other, the latter will kick the beam. We were to have had, moreover, steady prices as the result of free trade. Merchants were to be re lieved from the temptation to gamble in corn, which the sliding scale was said to induce. Has it shown itself thus far likely to effect either of these desirable results ? • We have had more speculation in corn since the passing of the corn law bill than at any period within remembrance. Scarcely a nt can be found in this great port who has I mercha plan; nothing more calculated to ensure from loss both the party paying and receiving. Our stamp act, however, operates as a material hindrance to its • adoption. It operates, in fact, to perpetuate insecurity in all mercantile transactions, and at the same time defeats its own object, so far as the raising of revenue is concerned. Could the legis lature be persuaded to substitute for the present pro rata tax on receipts a uniform penny stampage, we feel convinced that the adoption of Mr. Burn's form of duplicate receipt would be universal, and that, whilst defalcations by parties entrusted with the collection of money would be checked, the revenue would be a material gainer. It is scarcely fair to the inventor of the plan in question to give a description of it here. . We shall, however, bring it under the notice of the Guardian Society, who will do good service to the public by exercising their influence to procure such an alteration of the Stamp Duties as will render it universally available. THE Anti-Education mania, of which Mr. Ed ward Baines, Jun., of Leeds, is a kind of stereotyped promoter, continues to progress. Meetings are being held in every town in Yorkshire, to which the gentleman in question, or his adherents, have access ; and the Legislature and Government are beset with deputations and petitions, got up in the ordinary dissenting fashion, that is—manufactured. It is gratifying to observe that, amidst this well got up storm, the Premier is firm. Lord John Russell is not disposed to succumb to the dictation of the ultra voluntaries, and thereby to condemn the rising generation to remain in their present state of educational deficiency, until Sectarian efforts overtake the march of increasing population and ignorance. One circumstance, connected with this retarding movement, we cannot but deplore. We refer to the support announced to be given to its originators by the Wesleyans of Great Britain. Few religion ists have hitherto been more zealous than the fol lowers of John Wesley in the cause of education ; and it is sad to see them now drawn into the adoption of a course which is only stimulated by hatred to the Established Church to which, if really entertaining the principles of their great founder, they ought at least not to be bitterly inimical. A very little reflection would show them that they are allying themselves with a set of men who are their bitterest enemies, and the bitterest enemies of the cause of which they profess them selves to be strenuous supporters. APPOINTMENT OF A STIPENDIARY SOLICITOR TO THE DOCK ESTATE. We should in all probability have passed without notice an article in the columns of our contemporary, the Jour nal, under this head, could we have imagined it to have emanated from the pen of the editor of that paper. Our t' half-brother " of Saturday, as the Mercury would say, is rather fond of mares' nests—and the world knows it. He does not, however, ordinarily trouble himself to make very minute inquiries as to the facts upon which his con clusions are based ; and as we happen to know that another gentleman has been making rather particular inquiries as to the salaries of former officers of the Dock Committee, and other matters, the Journal must excuse us if we address ourselves to the gentleman in question rather than to himself, and at the same time congratulate him upon the valuable aid which he is acquiring from his volunteer contributor. _ . The complaint of the writer of the article in question is that the Dock Committee are liberal in the matter of salaries beyond the measure of times gone by. In parti cular, the remuneration of the respected secretary of the Dock Estate is complained of ; and the fixed salary offered to the able solicitor is roundly charged as a job. Mr. Mason, it is stated, received as a subordinate £2OO per annum ; was advanced, when made chief secretary, t o £350 per annum and has since been advanced by degrees to £lOOO per annum, his present salary. Undoubtedly such advance appears great ; but we never yet knew that deserving servants of the public were to be debarred from the chance of improving their position along with their increased claims on the score of desert and additional work. We have no doubt that the Dock Secretary earns his present salary quite as well as he has ever earned the reduced one, for which our contemporary says " the committee in power in 1841" (including Mr. Alderman Evans) "is responsible." With respect to the Dock Solicitor's new footin g --a permanent salary instead of variable bills of costs — it is a little surprising that the objection should come from such a quarter. Had we nothing-of the kind when municipal reform was the new broom which was to sweep away all abuses ? We rather fancy that no objection was made by " liberalism " to a Town-clerk's appointment at a large salary, even although an able man had to be pensioned on the corporate estate, on the sole ground of his politics. In the case of the Solicitor to the Dock Trust, the change made is perfectly justifiable upon economical grounds. The Dock Solicitor's business--parliamentary matters apart—has increased, and is increasing. The Wapping property is in course of purchase, and requires the hourly attention of the Solicitor. The Dock Committee, since their possession of warehouse property, have constant call upon them for the services of a solicitor; and on every account we conceive that they have acted wisely in pre • ferring to pay henceforth a stated sum for such services, rather than have heavy bills and costs, as they must otherwise inevitably be called upon to pay.

SPAIN. — It appears from the last accounts from Madrid, that the Moderados were meditating a coup cre'tat, and that attempts were made to seduce the troops of the gar rison from their allegiance to the Queen, and to prevail upon them to declare in favour of the Regency, to be composed of the King (Don Francisco de Assis) and the Duke de Montpensier. General Narvaez was the person relied on to strike the blow, and the signaiwas to come from Paris. Amongst the candidates spoken , of to replace General Manso in the post of Captain-General of Madrid were Generals Armero, Mazaredo, and Jose Concha. The Chamber of Deputies had rejected the amendment of M. Bermudez de Castro, in favour of free trade,.by a majority of 116 to 83. PORTUGAL.—The intelligence from Lisbon, to the 22nd inst., states that the civil contest was brought• to a stand still for want of both money and energy to prosecute it with vigour. At Oporto military operations were sus pended in consequenee of the very inclement state of the weather. Trade "was bad at Oporto i in consequence of the blOCkath FRANCI The Paris papers of Saturday. contain the important result of the vote on the proposition for electo ral reform in the Chamber of Deputies, on the preceding day: - After a severe castigation from M. Guizot, the truant " young Conservatives" submitted, and gave to the Minister a majority beyond the hopes of the most sanguine of his partisans. There were forthe motion, 154, against it, 252 ; majority for ministers, 98. The ministry thus appear to have greater influence over the Chamber than had been expected. Letters from Rome of the 18th instant, announce that among the papers seized on a refugee were several documents,.showing that Austria was• intriguing against the Pope's government. The Pope had an interview with the Austrian Ambassador, which was very animated, and it was said the ambassador was to quit Rome immediately. The accounts from the wheat markets of the French departments are somewhat conflicting, inasmuch as it would appear that while in some cases prices have ad vanced, there has been in others a decline. However, on carefully reading the various reports it may be fairly pre sumed that quotations in most districts have seeu their height, and that the reaction will before long be general.

He there fore begged that the trial should be postponed till the next assizes, in order to give the prisoner's counsel an opportunity of meeting that fresh evidence. baron ALDERSON sWid he was not aware of the exist ence of any such evidence; that even if it were in exist ence it would not alter the facts of the case. ' It he were to grant the application, and postpone the trial, the same circumstances might also arise at the next assizes ; and if so, they might go on postponing it ad infinitum. He did not see any reason why he should put off the trial, al though in doing so he was deciding against his own feelings and inclination when opposing the application of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins : but if postponing it for a day or two would be of any advantage to the prisoner, he should at once have the trial postponed, provided it should be tried at this assizes. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS next applied to the court to make an order requiring the prosecutori in this case to examine four witnesses who had been examined before the magistrates, and also before the coroner, and who were afterwards bound over to prosecute. He wished this be cause they were material witnesses for the prisoner. Baron ALDERSON could not grant the application, as he had no power to make any such order; but such witnesses might be called for the defence if he (Mr. Sergeant Wil kins) pleased. Mr. HULTON engaged that those witnesses should be kept in court, and they might be used for the defence if the counsel for the defence liked. STABBING James Martley was then indicted for having assaulted and stabbed Joseph Burns, at Salford, on the 12th of De cember last. Pleaded Not guilty. This offence arose out of a, quarrel between two bOys, (the prisoner, a lad of about 13 years of age, and the pro secutor, a lad about 12 years old,) about a cap which had been taken off the head of the prisoner, whilst standing looking at a show on Victoria Bridge, Salford, on the night in question. It appeared that when the boy lost his cap he accused the prosecutor with taking it, when a scuffle ensued, which ended in the prosecutor's receiving a wound from a knife on the left arm. _ Evidence was given for the defence to show that the stab was inflicted accidentally. The prisoner received a most excellent character from his master, Mr. lrlam, engraver, Manchester.—Not guilty. MANSLAUGHTER.

I remarked, "Captain, you must remember you are in a Christian country." To which he replied, "A Christian country be d—d ! • What care I where I am to be buried ? Let the parish bury him." Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WitAms.—Deceaseel was indebted to me money when he quitted Liverpool in August last. Got a bill for £4 . lOs from Messrs. Heming way and Co., and got it cashed, but that was not for the purpose of "fitting out" the deceased. I gave part of it to him—that is, paid him £2 Ils., and I retained the' balance. I told the captain that I should like to bury him decently, as he was a poor man ; I did not then know what had occurred. ft was in reply to that that the cap- , thin said he would have thrown him overboard. Mr. G. Woods, surgeon. examined.—On the 11th of February I made an examination of the body of the de seased. I opened the body and the head ; on the left side of the head found a bruise or mark ; and I found the in ternal part to be much bruised also: On removing the skull-cap I found a clot of blood resting on the brain; this corresponded with• the external mark. This tended, no doubt, to accelerate death ; but with sound constitu tions, I have known persons to recover from such wounds. On examining the heart and lungs I found both to be dis eased, and also the spleen. I consider that the pre-dis posing cause of death was natural disease • but the ac celerating cause were the wounds on the head I have de scribed. The injury on the head was such as possibly might have been inflicted by a blow with the fist. The disease of the heart was of long-standing. The deceased was in such a state, that he might have died suddenly. I have known patients die suddenly from such a disease of the heart as he had. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WiticiNs to cold would have effected the disease of the lung it could scarcely have affected the heart. A fall from a ladder down the hatth of , a vessel would account for all the contusion which I saw ; or if he had been knocked down and kicked by another person on the day in ques tion, it would also account for what I saw. Frequent beating would tend to accelerate the death of a person so diseased as the deceased;was.

William Brown, William Wolstenhulme, and James Taylor were then indicted for having broken into the warehouse of Mr. Thomas Taylor, at Lees, near Ashton under-Lyne, on the night of the 11th of February, with intent to rob it. It appeared from the evidence in this case, that Mr. Taylor had been apprised of the intentions of a party of thieves regarding his mill and warehouse ; and conse quently he was prepared to meet them ; but so soon as the alarm was given, the posse decamped, leaving only the accomplice who " split" on the rest, as the " profes sional" term of giving information is called.

The plaintiff agreed for £1,225, to fix up in a mill for the defendant, a steam-engine, and also a boiler, and to pro vide all necessaries for doing so except the brick and stone wort - was to he performed by the defendant __ a, w For the plaintiff several witnesses were called to show that the defendant had expended an unreasonable length of time in not fulfilling his contract, for had Le wished to have carried the conditions out, ample time had been afforded. Mr. MARTIN was addressing the jury for the defendant, when a verdict was agreed to be taken that Mr. Eccles should become security for the payment of £3OO, within a fortnight, from the defendant to the plaintiff, and the whole price to be paid up when the engine is erected, which is to be executed with all reasonable despatch, the defendant consenting to pay the expense for an alteration in the length of a piece of piping. ALDEhSON V. DIXON AND ANOTHEF This was an action for breach of contract. The defendants, Messrs. Francis Dixon and Co. are bottle manufacturers, at St. Helens, mid the plaintiff, Mr. John Henry Alderson, was em ployed as their agent to dispose of their wares in this town. He entered into their employ on the tOth of September, 1841, the terms of the agreement being, that he was to receive a year for his services, and procure security to the amount of 2200. On the Bth of September, in the same year, he was dis missed, and a certificate given to him by the defendant's, as follows:—" J. Alderson has been in our employment for nine months and given satisfaction, and we can give satisfactory reasons for dispensng with him." The surety given had been entered into by the "Guarantee Society, in London," whose agents are Messrs. Hughes and Ronald, wool brokers, Dale- street. The p'aintitf tieing unable to prOve the existence of a partnership between the defendants, a nonsuit was entered. M . LEOD V. CORBIN AND ANOTHER This was an actian in trover to recover possession of certain• goods belonging to the plaintiff, which were alleged to have been converted by the defendants. Mr. Martin and 3l r. Fletcher appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Knowles and Mr. Crompton . fir the defendants. 'the plaintiff is a trustee under a deed of conveyance of property left by one Beulah Colthurst to a Mrs. Crowther, and the defendants, H. Cubbin and George Morgan. are the assignees of the estate of George Crowther, husband of „ .••—• at issue was, whether the goods in question belong to . the de fendants, as trustees under such flat of bankruptcy, or by con veyance to the plaintiff. The maiden name of Mrs. Crowther was CoWorth, and she was married Some years ago, and she has a sister named Beulah Colthurst, who went to live with Mrs. Crowther at a house at Tranmere, and - continued to live there until the year 1840, when her brother-in-law, Crowther, became a bankrupt, and his goods were distrained upon by the land lord, and sold by Messrs. Winstanley and Sons and, subse-- quently, they were appraised at £5O value, and bought by Miss Beulah C&thurst, whereby, of course, they became her property. Upon leaving Tranmere, allouse was taken in Pem broke-place, the furniture, said to be Miss Colforth's, being the furniture with which the house was furnished. Subsequently, another house was taken in St. James's-walk, in the name of Crowther, and an arrangement was entered into that the house should be kept as a boarding-house by Miss Colthurst, whose oyoperty was used to furnish the house, and she continued to make purchases of household property. In 1844, Crowther being in reduced circumstances, a house was taken in Berry street, and alPthe property of Miss Colthurst taken there. In 1846, Miss Colthurst was desirous of transferring her property to her sister,. Mrs. Crowther, and a conveyance was drawn up for that purpose. the plaintiff being:trustee for Alice Crowther under the instrument during life, and afterwards for her chil dren. . In cross-examination by Mr. KNOWLES, Miss Colthurst, to explain how she had become possessed of the money with • which she had repurchased the goods of . her brother-in-law, said that her mailer, previous to her death, had left in trust for her, with her sister, Mrs. Crowther, .e5O and some little ftirniture, and the reason, she supposed, why the furniture was left to her rather than to 'her elder sister was, that her mother had been married twice, and she ( Miss Colthurst) was the only daughter by the second marriage. A few months back, pre vious to Crowther's second bankruptcy, she made a transfer of her property to the trust of the plaintiff for the benefit of her self during life, and after that for the benefit 1 her children. The Junott having directe d the jury, a verdict was returned. for the defendants. is MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN IRISH' RAILWAY COMPANY V. GORDON. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs against the de fendant, as holder of te n shares of 125, in respect of three calls. The reply to• the case w as that the act which had been ob tained was not for the line to. whieh the defendant had subscribed, it falling short of the distance to which it had been intended to , carry it, by . which the realization from transit so ~d elan the+ the Ole g,. would be materially ueterioritteu, anu umu mai in. sum cis nau been sold long before the act had-been obtained.

The exchange on France was 5 40, bat there was very little doing, all shipments being made for this country in the first instance. No later intelligence had been received from Mexico. The cotton market was firmer, but Our high rate of freight continued to retard shipments. LONDON CORN MARKET YESTERDAY. The advices received this morning from many of the leading markets, and the depressed accounts from Ireland, France, and Belgium, had a corresponding effect on our markets to-day, and although we had only a short supp.ly of English wheat, there was difficulty in selling at a reductron of 4s. to ss. per quarter. Foreign was offered 2s. lower, but little business resulted. Indian corn neglected, although floating cargoes are pressed at a great reduction. Barley, malt, peas, and beans are dull, and 2s. cheaper. A lar,ie arrival of foreign oats has =flied a further reductiole of ls. to 2s. per quarter, at which decline the sale was trifling, and only in small pofcels to necessitous buyers.
