LIVERPOOL UNION MILL AND BREAD COMPANY. — On Tuesday the annual meeting of this company was held at the Clarendon-rooms, Mr. Francis Boult in the chair. The chairman opened the business of the meeting by reading the report of the directors, which stated, amongst other things, that the directors regretted they could not announce that any progress had been made during the past year, in the erection of the mill, or otherwise in car rying out the designs of the company. Mr. R. Rathbone moved, and Mr. Jos. Williams seconded, the following resolution, which was passed unanimously : " That the directors be instructed to take the most vigorous measures to collect the first call, and that a special general meeting be then summoned, to consider what further course shall be adopted." The accounts showed that the total amount received for calls, interest, and sundries was £2914 IGs., and disbursements amounted to £lBB6 ss. 4d., including £5OO deposits on land, and £7OO paid to Mr. Fairburn, as per special agreement, leaving a balance to the credit of the company of £lO2B 10s. Bd. AMALGAMATED GAS COMPANIES.—The first meeting of the `• United " Gas Company was held on Thursday W. Fosberry, Esq., in the chair. The report stated that the capital of the company already raised and paid up, and which amounts to £423,750, has been divided, as i required by the act, into 7140 shares, namely, 3270 share of £lOO each an 4870 shares of X 25 each, so as to corre spond with the shares of the late companies. The Amal gamation Act confers no additional benefit on the share holders of the late companies as respects the appropria tion of shares. The company have now four stations for the manufacture of gas—the Dale-street, Vauxhall-road, Athol-street, and Grafton-street. The directors contem plate dispensing with the Dale-street station, and dispo- sing- of the entire property in that and the adjoining streets. They propose also to centralise the offices and management at Newington. £5OO per annum was voted for the directors ; and Mr. H. Steele was appointed trea surer and manager to the new company, at his former salary. Mr. Carson and Mr. Lloyd were appointed law clerks, at salrries of £2lO per annum each, but not to.be entitled to charge any legal business except parliamentary. Mr. L. Mozley stated that the directors had ample means of paying the ordinary dividends, and they had an im mense reserve fund to make up deficiencies. THE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BANK.—On Tuesday the twelfth annual meeting of the shareholders in the Borough Bank was held at the Clarendon-rooms. There was a with the liberty of the subject. lam responsible for what I do. (To Cuddy :) You must be committed ; I will take care that it shall be for as short a time as I can possibly arrange.—Cuddy : Can I have bail ?—Mr. Rushton : No. You, too, O'Brien stand committed.—O'Brien : There is nothing against me--I think otherwise, sir. The boy Kavatt may remain here, (with a view to his discharge.) I think he has been an instrument in other hands.—Sub sequently Cuddy again appeared at the dock.—Mr. Rush ton said : I have received your note, and cannot comply with your first request. There is against you another class of evidence which it is of importance should be pre pared. Your other requests may be complied with ; you may have all that is necessary for your health. STABBING.—FEROCIOUSASSAULT.—Threemen, named Patrick Grimes, Henry Kelly, and Anthony Kelly, with two women, Bridget Sheridan and Bridget Searle, were placed in the dock, charged with a serious assault upon, and stabbing John Joyce. From the evidence it appeared that on Sunday night, the 16th instant, about twelve o'clock, a quarrel and conflict took place in Sawneypope street. The prosecutor, according to his own statement, ran out, hearing that his brother was almost killed, when he was immediately set upon by Grimes and both the Kelleys, receiving a serious stab from each. The female prisoners, it was stated, had furnished the men with the knives, accompanied with the charitable injunction, " Go to work with them : cut his belly out !" Joyce was re leased from their grasp by police-officers attracted by the noise, who took him to the dispensary. He had been stabbed in two places in the back, and also in the right breast. He bled profusely, and his boots were found to be filled with coagulated blood. Mr. Lyr.ch, surgeon to the dispensary, stated that he was not yet out of danger. A document on behalf of the defence was produced, to show that Joyce had agreed to compromise the matter for .#3 Ids. which he admitted he had received. Mr. Rush ton said he would have no murder or bloodshed of that kind in the streets of Liverpool. He ordered the evidence to be taken as far as it had gone, and remanded the pri soners. CORRESPONDENCE THE WATER QUESTION TO HENRY DANSON, ESQ, SlR,—During the debate on the Water Question at the last Council meeting, you are reported to have said that the reports addressed by me to the Water Committee were a mass of trash and rubbish, and that they appeared to have been written by a man not in his right mind. In thus, Sir, taking advantage of your position n the Council Chamber to insinuate a charge of insanity against an individual who had no opportunity of vindicating him self, you have perpetrated an outrage which I feel assured will be reprobated by every right thinking man, whether in the Council or out of it ; and I am well convinced that no other member of the Council would have made a statement so calculated to wound the feelings and damage reputation of the meanest servant of the Corporation. thus, Sir, publicly charging me with insanity, you ' l4 -^ ,, d some proofs that you were war- Why not put the Council and the ited in so doing public in possession of the documents on which you ground your accusation ? Do this, Sir, and I shall willingly abide their fiat as to the extent of the madness. This, however, you have not done, and until such time as you do so you must excuse me if I tell you that you have made a statement to the Council which is an unmitigated calumny. In making this accusation, Sir, you had evi dently forgotten that I had feelings ; that I had a family and friends, both here and at a distance, to whom such an announcement made, under such circumstances, must necessarily have caused unqualified pain ;—you must also have forgotten to what an injurious extent such a state ment might operate on my future prospects in life. But above all things you had evidently forgotten that circum stances had placed you in a position demanding at you 4 bands conduct and language becoming a gentleman. I trust, sir, that no portion, either of my reports or con duct, throughout the arJuous and unequal contest in which I have been engaged, will admit of the construction you have been pleased to put upon them ; unless indeed, an individual is to be set down as insane, 'who honestly and earnestly endeavours to perform his duties to the public. Such, sir, may possibly be your opinion. In acting as I hare done throughout this affair, I have studied only the interest of the Corporation, and the well- fare of the ..._ _„. Laverpooi. And with the ledge which I possessed of the extent of our local water supply, I should have . grossly failed in th e f a ithf u l per formance of my duties If I had suffered the Council to be misled by certain parties in regard to that supply. I re gret exceedingly, that the course which I have felt it in cumbent on me to pursue in respect to this question, should have given offence to individuals whose good opinions I have laboured so long . and earnestly to gain. And I regret also, the probable injury I may have entailed upon myself by acting as I have done. But I have the satisfaction of feeling that I have been influenced by no motives, save and except, an ardent desire to promote the best interests of that community whose servant I have so habitant long been fshall conclude this letter by expressing a hope that you will, as a gentleman and an honourable man, embrace the first opportunity which may present itself, in order to set me right in the estimation of the Council and the pub lic, or else to furnish me with the grounds, on which you Lr, your obedient servant, Liverpool, 31st July, 1848, JAMES - MPONALD Mist rut D.C1.1)5.

In Lancashire and Yorkshire there is certainly very little, and there is no doubt many of the statements, in the London and other journals, of the crops being much affected in other parts of the country, greatly exagg the facts of the case.

The woman, however, was resolute, and refused to live with him again. He rose early on Tuesday morning, de termined to meet with her, and took out with him the two pistols found in his possession. He saw her in New, ton-street, on her way to work, and urged her to go home with him. She declared she would not go with him, when he took a pistol from his coat-pocket, and levelled it at her head. It missed fire, but he pulled out another pistol, pursued the young woman, and fired at her, when she fell.

The coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder." LOVERS FOUND DROWNED.-011 Monday morning, the bodies of a young couple were taken out of the canal be longing to the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal Company, at Whitacre Bridge, about two miles north-east of Huddersfield. Their names are, respec tively, David Carter, aged twently -four years, soh of and employed by John Carter, of Caine Bridge, who carries on a whitening mill, near Whitacre Bridge; and Elizabeth Sykes, an orphan girl, who was employed at one of the cotton mills at Colne Bridge. An attachment had existed between the two for sonic tine pnylou§, and it hack been August 1,1848• arranged last week that their marriage should take Ple a on Sunday five weeks hence. They spent some time t°' gether in company at the Peacock Inn, on the Leeds' road, about one third of the distance between the Pl ca where they were found drowned and Huddersfield. 13 ! e landlord states that, whilst there, they were in good slo' rits, and the youn man in paticular was in a joking 1 1 1 1 ' mour.

The father of the young man was surprised to find, on Monday morning, that his 6 ° 3 had been absent all night ; and on inquiry, he found.als° that the young woman had been absent from her lodging_j and it was supposed from this circumstance that they had gone to be married. On Monday morning, a hat and a bonnet were found on the banks of the canal, near to the place above stated ; and on drags being procured , th e body of the young woman was drawn out of the wate r ,! and sliortly afterwards also that of the young man, hot' from the same place.
