We have quoted at so great a length that we cannot give even a brief notice of the arguments with which Mr. Watson rebuts the few objections which might be urged against his proposition. We must therefore refer our readers to the pamphlet itself, which is well worthy of their attentive There is a certain class of legal pettifoggers and other seedy professionals, who swarm in our public thoroughfares and infest our smaller towns arid villages, in whose upturned and hungry-looking visages, as they snuff the air in search of a corning job, you may read legibly imprinted the imploring query of a certain Scottish official of the olden time—" Wha wants me ?" The poor beings feel themselves growing rusty for want of use and snatch eagerly at any small matter which offers to assist them to keep their hands in. Her Majesty's Whig Ministers appear just now to be animated with the craving spirit of the pettifogging and seedy persons in question; and, in their eagerness to he doing business, are ready to legislate upon any subject, and more especially ready to try their ingenuity upon those which they understand the least. A member has but to put a question in the house, or to furniah an exparte case of grievance, and the assurance glides trippingly from the tongue of some member of the administration, that " the attention of her majesty's government has already been drawn to the subject, and that a measure will be introduced in the course of the session." We had last year to deplore ti►e existence of a very high rate of mortality amongst that portion of our population who were driven to emigrate to our North American Colonies. Of 106,000 men, Iwomen, and children, who left the various ports of Great Britain and Ireland for British America, it is computed, on government authority, that 6100 died on the voyage, 4100 on their arrival, 5200 in the hospitals, and 1900 in the towns to which they pro ceeded—in all, 17 per cent of the whole number. This was melancholy enough ; but that it could excite the least surprise in the mind of any man who had an opportunity of observing the condition of the majority of the poor beings thus expatriating themselves—flying from famine and disease in their own land, to seek health and food and the reward due to ind ustry in a strange country,—we utterly deny. Yet it has aflorded a sufficient excuse for the Colo nial-office to originate a measure—the Pass.- ket A "'ll—by __.nendment ~ n teh the whole onus of the increased rate 9f mortality, observed last year, is laid at the .door of the British shipowner; and - - •••• •• tiCY ail costn ess of which, not to mention their impracticability, 2n to put a stop altogether to voluntary emi aion to our colonial possessions, in British vessels. In addition, moreover, to the deplorable igno rance, on the part of the government, of the subject upon which Mr. Labouchere has volunteered to legislate, the conclusions upon which his proposed bill is founded, as to the share of blame attributa ble to the shipowner, and the defects of the ex isting law, are, in the teeth of evidence in their own possession, furnished by their own commissioners and other authorities at home and in the colonies. Thus, in enclosing a report of the Land and Emi gration Commissioners, forwarded on the Ist De cember last by Earl Grey to the Governbr-General of Canada, and characterised by his lordship as a "very able document," his lordship states, with respect to the emigration of the past year, that " It would have been practically impossibl lave been in that unjust, to ny exercise of ti miry of the to detain at slature or of the Executive Government multitudes, who, during the past ) endeavoured to escape from misery and stars emizrating from Ireland to America and also emigration of so large a number 6f persons previously suffered so severely from the consequences of that visitation with which it had pleased Providence to afflict us, inevitably led to the breaking out of disease, which could not he prevented from spreading itself from the emigrants to the inhabitants of the colonies to which they flocked.

That the appalling mortality which has taken place may he regarded as only a temporary inflic tion is abundantly proved by a return for the five years ended 1846. contained in the same Blue Book, nage 52, in wh; Igrge emigration is shown to 3 a conducted, under the existing law, both not having exceeded half per cent. or five in 1000. It is shown, also, (page 33) that whereas the German tst year arrived in the colonies healthy, there having been no fever in Germany, and the mortality was only slight in vessels from the more it.althyr Ftritich ortri T,.; I-. e 5.4.. it. , a: sels from Liverpool and Cork, where the fever pro duced by the famine was most extensive, was uni formly severe and fatal. And it is even shown that there were instances of vessels from Cork, carrying military pensioners, well fed and under the care of their own surgeons, in which the pas sengers suffered quite as much as other emigrants from the same locality. In short, the ordinary pr. • healthy ports, whilst the best arrangements were Tutile, it they sailed from infected ports_ lowing extract of a letter from Dr. Douglas, a gen tleman who has had great opportunities of observing the condition of the emigrants on their arrival in Canada, is conclusive as to the cause of the high rate of mortality observed : The fol- " All the Cork and Liverpool passengers, he says, are half dead from starvation and want before embarking, and the least bowel complaint, which is sure to come with change of food, finishi.s them without a struggle. I never saw people so indifferent to life. They would con tinue in the same berth with a dead person, until the seamen or captain dragged out the corpse with boat hooks." And again, "It has been said, by people not in formed on the subject, that the frightful mortality and ickness was caused by the over-crowded state of the . and the want of proper food and medi- Now, however much these might have it was laitigated the evil, it could be easily proved tha lot caused by their want. The thousands of German , migrants who arrived this year,_all came in good health, and they were more crowded in consequence of their greater quantity of baggage. The transports Blenheim and Maria Somes, with pensioners and their families from Cork, were just as sickly as other vessels, yet these had nt --11-ventilated - el y of room in welt- vessels, good staff sur geons, and were regularly supplied with good wholesome food, animal and vegetable, daily. The disease was in all cases brought on board the vessels (not generated there), and it found fit subjects in the half-starved rnise '-le wretches who composed the mass.' Mr. Perley, "Aligence and zeal are favourably known to Lord in chiefly attribute - ^..atly in- We have the authority, too, of a highly respect able Liverpool firm, extensively engaged in the passenger trade, for saying that— " The great mortality last year did not occur amongst he ordinary class of - -^ts, viz., t' their emigran—„ _nose who pa 3 —ages, and generally have means to provide lodging, clothing, and food ; but was confined a hat unfortunate class, whose passages were anded proprietors. Thousands of this eta: st season, both for this port and variot state, from our own ( clad, and h lly half of provision for wretches, t hus mercilessly cast off by their natural protectors. The Irish landlords, not the British shipowners, are the parties to be coerced into hu- manitv [lust not is opposed to all legislation upon this subject. On the contrary, he is willing, as shown at the meeting of the body held in this port on Tuesday last, in some points to go even beyond the views of ti framers of the government bill. For instance, M Labou ere proposes that each adult passenger ; allowed 12 feet of space ; and that two between the ages of one year and fourteen hall be counted as equal to one adult. The ship nvners, however, offer 14 feet for each adult, the American allowance. In the dietary laid down for the emigrants, the shipowners are both more liberal than the government, and display more practical acquaintance with the wants and habits of the pas sengers. The clause in Mr. Labouchere's bill allows 31Ibs. of beef and pork, and albs. of bread or biscuit per week ; and, in addition, 61bs. of bread, biscuit, flour, oatmeal. and rice. The ship owners object that beef or pork is generally totally unsuited for the consumption of the class of which emigrants are principally composed, who have been unaccustomed to such food; and that biscuit is po thi viedisposed to sicknen rich naturally suag is a more rigid and strict 10 nn hnarrl of the r•nnrlitinn and cfata a vo .age a THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. unpalatable to them, that they have been frequently observed to throw their rations overboard as soon as received. They propose instead, as the weekly allowance, 3ilbs. bread, 5? - t lbs. oatmeal or flour, peas or barley; *lb. of dried fish, llb of rice, Aoz. coffee, 2oz. tea, and *lb. of sugar,—a dietary ob viously more fitted for semi -invalids, such as the majority of the passengers from Ireland. These additional comforts would come cheap to the emi grant, as they would be supplied by the ship at the prices out of bond. It is, however, against the penal clauses of the bill, which they denounce as most oppressive and to a considerable extent nugatory, and those for providing an additional superintendence of the emigrants, whilst on the voyage, by the appoint ment of an officer for the purpose, that they object most strongly, as calculated, by raising the cost of transport to our colonies, to divert the stream of emigration altogether to the ports of the United States. At present the prestige is in favour of the latter country, and nine-tenths of the passengers proceeding to the Canadas are only induced to go there by the great saving of expense, which, for a family consisting of a male and female adult, four children from a year old to fourteen years, and one in arms, was, in May last year, to British America, about £l6 against £3B 10s. to the United States. The power of a superintendent of passengers, ap pointed by government—(increase of patronage, as usual, seems to form a portion of this as of all Whig measures)—and with his duties and powers laid down by the Privy Council, would interfere injuriously with the authority of the captain, and endanger the discipline of the ship ; and by the captains and owners of United States vessels, which carry out the bulk of our emigrants, would not be submitted to at all. And if it be made compulsory that a surgeon should be taken out, or that the superintendent should he of the medical profession,unexampled difficulties would he created. Last year the Colonial Land and Emigration Com missioners report on this subject as follows :- 1 4, The rate at which people were proceeding was such. that at least 622 surgeons would have been required in the first six months. Nor would they all have been required at a few large towns where a considerable supply of surgeons might be more reasonably hoped for; but some of them must have been found, without delay, at each of the various ports ant: creeks of England, Ireland, and Scotland, from which emigrants may happen to pro ceed ; and in some cases where the condition could not be fulfilled, the consequence would have been, that poor people who had come from great distances to a strange port, and had parted with all their means, would have found the master of the ship unable to give them the , passage for which they had contracted. * * * We , doubt whether any measure whatever would have been efficient, except some one which either directly or indi rectly compelled the great majority of the emigrants altogether to relinquish th e i r purpose ."—Bl ue 'Book, p. 36. - The most important consideration, however, just now, is the question of expense. Dare the govern ment, or ought they, on the ground of last year's increase of mortality, proved to have been of casual occurrence, and to have been produced by causes totally or mainly unconnected with the accommo dation of the emigrants on board, make such alter ations of the present system as may impose a bar to emigration at all ? The season for Canada is just setting in. Within a few weeks time our dock quays will be crowded with Irish famines, en route to these settlements—with poor sickly and half famished wretches, who have left their little hold ings, and, having converted their all into cash, will probably find that they have barely sufficient to pay the expenses of a voyage, under the present arrangements. Are we to arrest these people, now rendered homeless and bouseless, in their passage by our ill-considered interference ? Are we to re ceive them in our workhouses, to become a further charge upon our already overburthened ratepayers, or to pass them back to Ireland to die in ditches or upon the highways ? The question is a serious one; and it would well become her majesty's mini , - ters to pause and to li- 'stionp ten to the sugg practical men before incurring so fearful a respon sibility. We repeat, there is ample room for active and useful exertion and judicious legislation, without rushing upon the evils which we have pointed out. Let government adopt the views of the shipowner, more liberal than their own and more practical, as to the space allowed each emigrant on ship-board, and the dietary to be provided for them; and, above all, let every passenger, before embarking, undergo strict medical examination to test his fitness to undergo the hardships of the voyage. This is the utmost we can do with safety.

A dynasty has been swept away ; and its founder—the Nestor of esterday we saw intriguing for thrones for his family, is now an outcast from his king dom ; and, perhaps, by this time is indebted to shelter and protection from his rebellious subjects to that very Britain which sheltered the obscurity of his earlier days. We give at length a detail of the strange occurrences of the week. so far as they have yet reached us in a connected shape. As to their result, and a possible influence in disturbing the peace of Europe, it would be prenw now to speculate. Unfortunately, we fear that they must be productive of one result, little Europe than war itself, viz.:—the isastrous to powers, of that armed attitude which so effectually pro strates the industry, and checks the commerce of their people, by the increase and prosperity of which the true interests of mankind are alone effectually promoted. The meeting held on Thursday last, to petition Parlia ment against the monstrous Budget of her Majesty's Ministers, must exercise an important influence over the decision of the Legislature, if the calm, manly, and digni fied protest of the first commercial community in the empire is allowed to have its due weight. Seldom have we attended- a meeting in this or any other town the pro ceedings of which were conducted with greater decorum ; and never did we attend one in which the feelings of those present were characterized by deeper earnestness and unanimity, and which was in every respect so worthy of being regarded as conveying the sentiments and the deter mined resolve of the classes of which it was composed. Of the matter and manner of the various speeches ad dressed to the meeting we need say little ; for they are above all praise of ours, and not only reflect infin;«- upon the speakers, but upon 01, produce such men amongst its sons. We may refer, however, particularly, to the manly and eloquent, and at the same time business-like speeches of his worship the Mayor, Mr. Hugh Hornby, and Mr. Robertson Glad stone, which will bear a comparison with—aye, and even shame, by their strict and undeviating pertinence to the questioa in hand—some of the more pretentious displays of the more practised orators of the House of Commons which it is ordinarily concealed ; such fertility and matu rity of thought extemporaneously displayed; suggest to us. as they did to Mr. Rnhertsnn Glnsistnne. and must suggest to the community at large, the question,—why, in this great commercial country, every step of whose policy affects, for good or evil, not only our own commer cial and industrial interests, but those of the whole world, are men possessing them in suc ted to remain in a private static quacks occupy the seats whit strut and fret their little hour upon a stage were never meant and never fitted to occupy. A constituency which should voluntarily select any one of these gentlemen as its representative in Parliament would do itself immortal honour. arge measure permit- demagogues an( alcrht to fill nun Not the least gratifying calculated to add largely amended, or rather added to, in order to meet the views of men of both shades of polities, is the fact of its having been seconded by Mr. Harold Littledale. As the repre . • world, the name and sanction of Mr. Littledale to such a document avouches that the voice which has gone forth from amongst us is not the petty and querulous whisper of petty men, but the voice of the wealth and the enter ' prise of Liverpool uniting with the cry of industry and her outraged sense of justice. We beg to remind our readers that the Arc4sisi Canterbury elect will consecrate the new church in Prince's Park, on Thursday next.

ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, The foundation stone of a new church, about to be erected in Great Nelson -street North, and to be dedicated to All Saints, was laid yesterday at half-past twelve o'clock, by the Rev. Jonathan Brooks. senior rector of this parish. The ground upon which the building is to be placed, and which is situated on the north side of the street, was crowded to excess, principally by the Sunday scholars of the district, and by the working classes, who manifested much interest in the proceedings, and con ducted themselves with praiseworthy decorum. Amongst the company present, we noticed the Revds. Jonathan Brooks, Henry Marlen, (incumbent of the district,) D. James, Dr. Hume, W. M. Falloon, and R. Davies ; S. I Staniforth, E. Molyneux, H. Banner, A. H. Holme, Esqrs._ The Church of All Saints is intended to be built in the ' early English or pointed style, having a tower and spire 120 feet high at the south-east angle next Great Homer. street, the opposite, or south-west corner, being occupied by a smaller square tower, which contains one of the staircases to the gallery. Between the towers is a large and lofty gable, forming a principal feature in the design, having a deeply recessed arch, with lancet window richly moulded. There are two porches below these windows, one on each side, for giving access to the ground floor. The sides of the Church, being hid by the surrounding buildings, are to be built with brickwork and stone dressings. The interior of the Church will present a bold and handsome appearance, although the character of the whole building is plain. Tht, length inside is 70 feet, width 50 feet, and height at the eaves 27 feet, and 50 feet at the ridge. There are galleries on the end and sides. The roof is to be open, covered with boarding under the slates, and the whole stained and varnished to imitate the dark oak. The whole of the ground floor will be free, containing 600 sittings, and the galleries 400: part of the latter to' be let. The arrangements of the seat, pulpit, &c. are as usual, but particular attention seems to have been paid to the warming and ventilating of the building. a matter of no small importance where so many of the poorer classes are to be assembled. The architect is Mr. Arthur Holme ; the builders are Messrs. Duckworth, Nuttal, and Burroughs. The cost is estimated at £4,100, exclusive of the land. The ceremony commenced by the Rev. Incumbent giving out the 100 Psalm, which was sung by the child ren and the crowd in a style highly creditable. EDMUND MOLYNEUX:Esq: then presented the silver trowel to the Rector, and in doing so observed that he was very glad to see so large an assembly collected together on so interesting an occasion. It was no less gratifying to him to observe the great and increasing desire manifested by the people of this country to attend the services of our Church, and particularly in the district of All Saints. The object for which they had assembled was to witness the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a building to be for ever dedicated to the service of Almighty God—that ceremony was to be performed by the esteemed Rector of this parish, who after a long life dedi , ated to the benefit of his fellow-creatures, wrs at all times ready to do all in his power to promote the spiritual welfare of his fellow -townsmen. His object in thus ad dressing the few words he had, was to present the Rev. Rector with the trowel he held in his hand, and in doing so he might be allowed to express an earnest cope that he may live long to witness the 7)lessings of his exertions to the town generally, and to the district of All Saints in particular. The Rev. JONATHAN BROOKS then addressed the as sembly nearly as follows :—I beg leave to assure you, sir, that i feel a great gratification in being present on this occasion, assembled as we are to lay tne foundation stone of whet I trust and believe will be a real blessing to this neighbourhood. Sir, I feel obliged to you for the kind manner in which you have been pleased to allude to my services. There is nothing which gives me greater plea sure than to see the extension of God's Word over this country, more especially in this parish, and to see the erection of buildings dedicated to the worship of God amongst the great mas , of the population. I need not say that in this country the great body of the population has far out grown the extent of accommodation provided for them by the Church. Sufficient attention was not paid to this subject, and the consequence was that for some years the increase of Churches stood still ; but the eyes of all have been opened, and the finances of all have been used to provide for these wants. In this country there was no part where this want was more felt than in the ma nufacturing districts, and in our great commercial towns. Therespected Prelatewhohaslately been elevated toanother sphere of labour—when he first came to reside amongst us, could not out be struck with this want, nor did he fail to do all which lay in his power to make provision for it. His lord ship has acted for a great length of time as president of a 'society called the Diocesan Church Building Society, and secrated between 231) and 241) churches in connection with the established religion of this country—a much greater number than has ever been consecrated by any other pre late. lam one among. those who keenly feel the loss of such a bishop, and I will take this opportunity of express- ing my regret at the removal of his lordship ; but I believe and hope that what will be our loss will be the church's gain, I believe the untiring zeal, patient discrimination, _ , ciliatory temper which he enjoys, qualifies at all times, but more especially at this time, its pozseisor for the high sta tion his lordship is called upon to fill ; I believe his earn, ing these qualifications along with him will be the means of using aright the power and authority with which hob.. been entrusted by the Sovereign, and that he will rale the church with that discretion we shall have reason to rejoice at. His lordship, seeing the wants of the diocese, imme diately took active measures to supply it; and it will be amongst us le esta (Nita SI immeatately atter he came a society, called the Diocesan pride that this town of Liverpool, without any hope of a compensatory return to itself, supplied a large portion of the funds of that society. Its success has been most eminent, and many churches have been erected by its means, particularly in the large town of Manchester. It would be doing injustice to Manchester, however, not to notice what had been done in that town in behalf of the object. They had raised there upwards of £lO,OOO for new churches. Before that, the dearth of church accom modation was much greater than amongst us, but it has now been in a great measure supplied. From Manchester we must come to our own town. You ( Mr. Molyneux) took the lead in this great object—you and your co-as sistant, Mr. Groves, as treasurers of the society, have I set a noble example by which wealth may be applied for "e I the benefit of others by the hundreds. God grant that . n similar circumstances may have the zeal to go and do likewise We raised £20,00-0 iino - wiiiattgseXiieriment has been most successful. The churches have been built—are open— and are now filled. So far from there being any want of inclination on the part of the people to fill them, the churches are so crowded that they want enlarging. The success of the plan has been so great that we have been induced to es tablish a second society for the purpose of building four more churches in districts three of which have no place of worship whatever. These contain a large mass of people who may literally be said to be without government in the world. For the first of these churches the Rev. Mr. Connor, aided by some members of his congregation, not of the higher classes, have raised no less than £4,000 to wards the erection of St. Simon's Church. Most gladly have we voted £2,000 towards that object. That church is now open and will be consecrated in a sho r t time. We have now arrived at this point, that we are now about to lay the foundation stone of a new church here, and soon do we hope to see it opened and attended by the population of this neighbourhood ; but that is not all—there is a churoh building, and it will soon be opened, at the sole cost and ex pense of our present worthy chief magistrate. That church will be a lasting memorial of the advantages derived from an earthly father, and of the pious zeal the sons have manifested in behalf of their fellow-men. In a few weeks more, 1 hope we shall 03 ante to open, in euunexio❑ wirn the established church of this country, a church that was to be built to be occupied by members of the Church of Scotland, and hope in the course of a few weeks more we shall have the pleasure of opening this building ; but still town where it is necessary churches should be built the neighbouring districts of 3evington ar , s of worship id the population is immense Now, I must s tha . iduring our beginning, if I n: ceived whereever we went, and we had raised between £13,000 and £14,000, when the present disastrous panic took place in our commercial affairs.

Having said this much, I onght to apologise for detaining you so iong. I shall now proceed to the work of the day, which is to lay this stone. and I humbly and sincerely pray for the blessing of God upon our ex ertions, that he will bring, to a successful issue, this work which is now to be raised to his honour and glory.

(BY EX P RESS.) THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. LATEST PARTICULARS. Paris, Saturday Night The excitement continues but has taken a more favoura ble turn. The measures of the Provisional Government are producing vast excitement. This morning the red riband was universal. The tricolour of the first revolution has replaced it. The Communists were said to intend attacking the Government. They are now stated to have " adhered" to it, but maintaining a watching attitude. The chalking on the walls "Plus des Bourbons" has given place to " Plus de Royaute." The Union Monarchique (newspaper) has dropped the second word of its title. All " Royal arms," or other emblems of Royalty, have been taken down or defaced. Still there are people who take it into their heads that the Count de Paris or the Duc de Bordeaux have a chance ! Prince Louis Napoleon's name begins to be mentioned, and I have heard one cry of " Vive l'Ecnpereur!" 20,000 of the very finest young men of Paris were enrolled this day as National Guards mobiles. Their appearance was truly inspirating. They have passed through the city singing the Marseillaise. Regiments of the line are arriving in Paris to replace those which had disbanded. The Chamber of Peers has been abolished by a pro clamation, and the Chamber of Deputies dissolved, the republic being declared complete, and the people advised to hold their hostile attitudes till the establishment of their rights and the re-election of the Chamber of Deputies. For the purpose of the election of the cham ber, all citizens who have attained their majority are de clared electors ; and also considered to be enrolled as National Guards. A curious accident happened on Friday. The toll house of the " Pont Louis Philippe" having been set on fire, about one o'clock, the flames caught the jiints where the chains of the bridge are connected with the wood work, they gave way, and the platform was precipitated into the Seine. The shock was tremendous, and several passengers who were crossing the bridge at the fatal mo ment were submerged and finished. The dreadful catastrophe Which took place nearthe Hotel of Foreign Affairs resulted in the death of •52 in dividuals. The Commerce announces that all the departments are " following the sublime movement at Paris." Rouen, especially, has joined the revolution hea r t an d sou l, an d 3000 inhabitants of that city and Havre, with a copious supply of arms and provisions, arrived in the capital on Friday morning by the Rouen railway, and took an active part in the melee SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 28. Orders were received from the Admiralty last night to send all available steamers to the French ports as soon as no, , ,sible. The Monarch and Iberia have just left for Havre and Cherbourg, and the Hindostan. of 1800 tons, will soon follow. The Saumarez arrived at eight a.m., with 86 passengers, amongst whom is Lafitte. Havre is full of English, who are in a very excited state. Railway coin. munication between Paris and Rouen is much interrupted. Some fighting had taken place at Rouen, and a bridge bad been destroyed. The English are flying from Paris to the outports in great consternation : they are much interrupted in doing. so. More steamers will be dispatched as soon as they can be got in readiness. I have just heard that the Duchess of Montpensier is among the passengers in the Saumarez. Nothi e ng t. is known in T Undo,Undo,respecting the prob a bl e ." „, ears io • route of tne ex-ning Lamm rumppe. An unauthenti cated rumour of his death in Belgium prevails ; but it is believed that the Government expect his arrival at Ports mouth, it. being understood th a t h e h as em b arked at Tre port. He had gone to Normandy. rived at Baron and Baroness Lionel Rathschild's resi dence, in Piccadilly, on Saturday, from Paris, and have subsequently removed to Mivart's Hotel.

At this day's market there was a moderate supply of English Wheat, which meta stow sale at the currency o f thi s d a y week. met rather niore inquiry at former prices. Fine Chevalier Barley sold steadily at late rates, but secondary cheaper. We have received during the week a good supply of Irish Oats, but the quantity of foreign and English has become more moderate. The extent of business transacted was only on a limited scale, but factors generally refused to make any further concession to buyers. MONEY MARK ET-YESTERDAY The excitement on the Stock Exchange has been very little ee I j u e s c day tsie diminished. The business has, however, been less extensive than on Saturday ; the violent fluctuations on that and the pre vious induced a great number of the speculators to l eave nothing open in the evening, as they could make no c a l cu l at i on r the future. A little more caution, has, the re f ore, been used this morning, and the extreme prices of Consols h ave been 81 and 83, the latest quotation being 81i to 82k. Pric es have not been made closer than about one-halt per cent. The twice for money has ranged from 811 to 83.

Yesterday afternoon, the general annual meeting of the members and friends of this excellent institution was held at the Asylum, in Myrtle-street. The attendance was as numerous and respectable as on former similar occasions. 11. Wynch, Esq., presided. Mr. HARMOOD BANNER, the treasurer and secretary, read the report. That document set forth that little va riety attached itself to the proceedings of charitable in stitutions when they were once fully established ; but an infant society like that in behalf of whichthey hail met. be came an object of more anxiety and interest. The insti tution had not yet arrived at maturity ; bus it had pro gressed rapidly since its commencement in 1840. In 1841, when it was in Stanhope-street, they had but nineteen children ; in 1842, 42 ; in 1843, 47 ; in 1844, (when the present asylum was built,) 60 • in 1845, 73 ; in 1846, 84 ; in 1847, 100; and at pre sen t, (18480 126 orphans. They were all in health, and very few deaths had occurred since the opening of the institution. The same system of good management and econom, and the same teaching- of the inmates by Miss Davies, (the matron,) and Miss Sandars, the mistress, had been steadily pursued. They had yet room for twenty-four children more ; and they bad ad mitted sixteen within the last two months. Still, in order to increase the utility of the institution. they should re- quire additional funds; and amidst the commercial de- became a c were many parties inv the town and neighbourhood on whom fortune had showered her favours, who had not yet t•ntttrilintarl to cnnnnrt of the. nQultim_ Ha than rand a statement of the accounts, from which it appeared that the receipts for the past year were £1,238 13s. 6d., in cluding £954 of .übscriptions, £27 for needlework done by the children, donations, £49, church collection, £lO6, iture had been, for all 3, medicines, &c., ie bank in favour of egacy, le expend I the institution of XBB 11 CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.—On Saturday, a verdict of wilful murder was returned at the coroner's court Islington, for the murder of a nev gruua UCIAML7II w u uicsan. ---- - appeared to have been produced by tying a cord round it.

Two men, who happened to be passing, kindly took her to Dr. Hymns's, who was not at home. They then took her to Mr. La.. by the Liverpool Church Missionary Society, for which about £13,000 have been subscribed, though the society resolved originally to' collect, if possible, £20,000 for the erection of four churches for the tour new districts in Liverpool, for which the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have provided an endowment of £l5O per annum, respectively. £2,000 was contributed by the society towards St. Simon's Church. A third will soon be commenced for Bevington district, and we hope sincerely that funds will promptly be provided for a fourth church, in Vauxhall district, which requires one as much, or more, than any other, as the extraordinary statistics furnished by Dr. Hume abundantly testify. The young men in the Military University of Paris, to the number of 600, have joined the provisional govern ment. - Peb. SO, iB4B. THE NEW DOCK BILL.-LOCAL ENQUIRY, YESTERDAY. The preliminary enquiry with regard to this bill cgss held yesterday, before James Abernethy, Esq., C. the Sessions House. After the surveying officer es,„u stated the course he would p ursue , M r. T a lb ot, Q. u/ (with whom was Mr. Worthington, the dock solicitor , ) opened the case for the promoters. He said that the onll part of the bill w hi c h came proper l y w i th i n the scope of such an inquiry as the present was the 23rd clause, win related to the purchase of the land at the north end frots the Earl of Derby. All the rest were mere matters for till consideration of a committee of the House of Commons! and if there was a case at all where such an inquiry rniFh'' have been disp ense d w i t h en ti re l y, i t was the present, De' cause all these new works were to be constructed by s plan which was to be approved of by the Lords Commis' sioners of the Admiralty, as well as by Mr. _Evans, the conservator of the River Mersey. Mr. Talbot then pro" ceeded to remark on the inutility of such inquiries that, because the whole matter had to be gone into ags,.in before the committee of the House of Commons. to instanced the late inquiry into the Water Works Bill as s proof of the remark. - Mr. Snowball appeared to oppose the bill on behalf of the warehouse keepers, the master coopers, and porters ' Mr. Wain for the Birke n h ea d D oc k C omm i ssioners, an Mr. Hull for Mr. Eyre E vans an d ot h er gentl e men, w it h respect to that part of the bill which relates to the build ing of dock warehouses round the dock quay of the port- Mr. Hartley and his son were then examined by gr' TALBOT at considerable length with reference to the ex tent and cost of the proposed works at the north end. IC was stated that the extent of the river wall was to be 1,7 53 yards, inside which sea wall it is intended that the timber docks are to be formed, together with a float of 45 acres; which is to be used for the purpose of water storage, and surrounding which there are to be plots of ground /1, 0 1 yva yards, sheds, and such oth er l an d accommo d at i on as L be required. The entrance to this dock will (as now pro' posed) be through one of the half-tide basins which all connected with the present new North Docks, and there'd into the float. This is an alteration in the plan, which has been made in con=equence of the Board of Ordnance having expressed a desire to have the new fort, now ill course of construction, erected north of the proposed works, so as to form a protection for the whole of the ship ping. The plan, as originally designed, had two ea' trances to these docks through the proposed sea well' The cost of the whole of these works was estimated al £340,000 ; that is to say, basin, £34,233 ; entrance , £59,268 ; large float £45,182 ' • river wall, £112,673; sewers, 4'8,500 ; formation o f land, £80,144 ; total , £340,000. Alderman Moore, • Mr. Rankin, and Mr. Smith wer e then examined at considerable length as to the desira bility of the plan proposed for the accommodation of the timber trade, and all of these gentlemen concurred in pronouncing the north end to be the only place in the vicinity of Liverpool, and the plan proposed 'as the only one yet advanced, capable of affording the requisite se commodation for this fast increasing branch of our coal' merce. Alderman Moore stated in his evidence, and be was fully borne out in that statement by Mr. Smith, that in six years the saving to the trade, in carriage, porterage; &c. would nearly cover the whole expenditure proposed to be incurred i n th e cons t ruct i on o f t h ese docks—the' being estimated at no less than £60,000 a-year. Mr. SNOWBALL. on the part of the Master Coopers all Master Porters, was p rocee di ng to cross-exam i ne eac h e* ( these witnesses, with the view of shewing that the erection of warehouses round the dock quays would prove a vell serious injury to th e master tradesmen who were no w with thes e d oc k s , w i t h out producing an now cor responding public good, w h en h e was interrupted by the Surveying Officer, who stated that the interest o f the Master Coopers and Porters should be brought before the Legislature, where he was sure every attention would 1 26 paid to them. Mr. WALK and Mr. HULL also cross-examined the, respective witnesses. Aft er w hi c h the Court adjourne d sine die. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has received £2 from an anonymous correspondent, " being stamp duty e vade* contrary to the wish of the writer." The amount will be paid into the receipt of the Exchequer. THE KING OF THE FRENCH.—The Express, steam' ship, sailed on Sunday from Southampton, for Havre, tr the purpose of bringing over any English residents vow may be anxious to leave France,—report states for the purpose of bringing over Louis Philippe ; this is, bell' ever, improbable, as his ex-Majesty would doubtless em' bark in a French steamer. On Saturday a meeting of the inhabitants of Leeds held at the Court-house of that town, for the purpose expressing their opposition to the increase of taxation pr°, posed by Lord John Russell in his r ecen t i n t ro d uc ti o n °' the Ministerial budget to Parliament. The meeting! which was numerou,ly attended, was called by the gal; (Mr. F. Carbutt), in compliance w ith a requisition, whic was signed in the course of a few hours by 250 persons.
