LAIRD said he would object to any such arrange -441t being entered into because of the indemnity which exacted. He Should. like to know when the board 4 oris e d this indemnity to be asked for. He had tPok 41 en to the secretary pn the subject, and that gentle- 4 t ll had furnished him with' a resolution of the beard ; i 4 the only reference made in it was'to goods.' He ' ll , l ed t o as k w h e th er c i rcums t ances were similar on h ot %idea of the water. 0,4 me CHAIRMAN, in reply, stated that it would be in 4 , r ecollection of the board that the following minute It a, , B ?reught up from a meeting of the Warehouse Coin ,4l7e, held on the 25th July, 1859, and confirmed at a 'equent meeting of -the board— The solicitor sub, et 7 u the form. of application for the admission the ' v essels with cargoes intended for stowing in warehouses,- calculated to secure the board from to claims for expenses that may be incurred by ' t 'ility to deliver by water. Notice was given to holders q produce now lying iri the 'Warehouses that on or bout the hi of October the great float will be run dry.' Iti 'tt• LAIRD maintained that this did not apply to the • %lion which he had asked. That' ivas' a resolution a. ` l e' the board, but it said nothing as to a ship Lcargo. , CHAIRMAN—The document was tread to the b: t ehnuse Committee, and recommended to be adopted kithe beaid: It is referred to specifically in the ti_atei now read. 4 1. LAIRD remarked that; from this resolution as th to the board, no man could give his opinion as to 4 : distance to which the indemnity should extend. re they had the case of the Warehouse Committeeoff Ott to take cotton . at ; id. per bales at Birkenhead, " t he parties sending it there would have to bear the I ,;rnse, of taking it there and bringing it back again, le ss they were willing to sign an indemnity, which he "elt a e :' (l was never asked for in Liverpool before. Now, vih h 0 wanted to ask was; whether it was a 'general u tt er or simply an indemnity on this side of the at er 4 • The CHAIRMAN.—The circumstances are not the w 'e• We have already incurred expenses. Mr. Laird Perfectly aware that, during a comparatively 4 0 4 period the board had had a great many vexatious i th ir rit upon them ea from time ,to time for thecaepenses, and asked to make arrangements for ccomnawl a-40,. of shipping at Birkenhead, they bad tried to do all it ' e Y could for the purpose of effecting that objoot. But should be remembered that, as a' necessary conse elleaof this accommodation, the engineer was subjected s fte inconveniences in prosecuting the labours of his ,cl/lEtnen, in consequence of the passage of the goods ‘ O O the ware h ouse. Thi s reso l u ti on was d r awn up by the 1 h eitor for the express purpose of protecting the board il re 'ra claims which might be made. It was perfectly ~esary. They had a great deal of expense going on, 1 d at present there Were many claims raised upon ti '; eln ea the other side of the water, because they had awed the float to dry. Injury had been done toll gh this means to certain parties, and he had no h t eitati on in saying it Was the opinion of the engineer and solicitor that unless the board had some form Of indemnity when taking goods to the other el l(l e'cl the water they would be subject to a good many fti ras• With regard, to whit had been done on thi s o ie'of th e wa t er h e wa s n o t i n a position to say. With ,_ Bard to the other side they might have adopted a ,_ te extreme course, but they thought that a medium , I4 rse was the best to adopt, viz., to give all the accom modation they could, and at the same time to protect th em from vexatious claims by an indemnity. NKr. LAIR.D—That 'is not at all to the purpose, and ° es not touch upon the point on which I spoke. The CHAIRMAN—Mr. Laird has already spoken two ct three times. 11 r. LAlRD — There is nothing in the res olution re ' f e rred to which entitles this board to take an indemnity. ,The CuAinusx--Thii resolution is here, and it refers vecifically to the form of indemnity drawn up by the k lieitor. -„The Warehouse Committee recommended this board to adopt the resolution, and it did so. ti Mr. LAIRD-Well, nest week I will get the resolu (l, and will show you that the resolution and the •, in demnity are not at all in accordance with each other. 6 Ought not to be asked to confirm a r esolution which li se no direct reference to the indemnity. The CHAIRMAN remarked that if the board moved. /I ' 4l l its eyes open, they would 'no( willingly lay them selves liable for actions of damages if they could help it. , 'Pe thing was clear, that they must either shut their ooeks altogether or obtain a bond of indemnity. Mr. ARNOLD concurred with the chairman, and 'loped that the discussion which had arisen on the ques tion would not prejudice the arrangement they had entered with reference to the storage of cotton. The arrangement was altogether a desirable one, and the railway company had given the use of their wharf. He Would wish it to be understood, however, that there was nothing in this which would prejudice the storage of cotton. Dock Office, 24th May, 1860, The CHAIRMAN — Yes ; but in taking away the cotton t heYrinight give an indemnity for its safety. Mn. ARNOLD—The danger is, too remote for any con lideration of the sort. Mr. FonwooD thought that the board _ought, by eery means in its : power, to meet any emergency that bight arise. He referred to the use which was being reade of the transit sheds at Prince's-dock, and suggested t hat. some means should be taken towards rendering t hem more valuable to the harbour tbau they at present were. H e would recommend members of the board to turn their attention_to a return which had been issued t he previous day, with regard to, the use that had been Made of the transit sheds. _ _ The CHAIRMAN did not think the board should go Ito- the whole question of, the storing of cotton. Mr. Fonwoork said, in continuation, that , the time Was now come, when they ought to examine the whole question ; they should know accurately what disposable *Pace they possessed, for he was certain that if merchants l 'ould only pay an adequate rent for the storage of their g o ods, plenty of room would be found. They ought but, however, to be forced, into such a position . ; but If they. had. any available space let them put it into r equisition. With respect to the form of indemnity, he Considered that they ought. to make the accommodation as cheap as possible; and for this end, should be inclined to put up with a little inconvenience. _ Bourn observed that the whole amount of dis- Posable space was only one and a half or two berths, and it was therefore impossible that cotton ships could he admitted there to discharge at present. Mr. BROCKLEBANK said that it was mismanagement °n the part of the Docks and Quays Committee, in making arrangements so that these sheds did not become Vhat they really ought to be, viz., transit sheds. Now, according to the .section of the Act of Parliament, any Olipowner could demand from this board one of those % hods to discharge his vessel in; and, in his opinion, that precluded the possibility of making them stores for "1011. By putting a vessel of 1,200' or 1,400 tons close to the quay, she might discharge in two or three (l ays, thereby leaving the quay open for others to come in and discharge ; whereas, in the ordinary way it s ometimes took_ seventeen or eighteen days. While E ndeavouring toy increase the accommodation, he did not think they should be found fault with, and he eon 'sidered that the proposal of the committee was very reasonable. CHAPEL. Mr. ARNOLD replied. In the course of his observa tions he said that he found, on going to the transit sheds that morning, thge were three bertha open, but they had all since been taken up. - Ile wished to remind the board that these transit sheds, werefrequently used for the purpose of storing damaged goods. .A vessel -imed the Vanguard lately arrived in the river with a C" - -‘ discharged at the transit sheds. The charge damaged cargo. and the cargo had been there for a in.. was id. per square yard per week for the first moritil, and 14ci. per week afterwards; so that about 760 seitiare yards were occupied at a rent of only £3 ss. 10d. per week. In his opinion this was not the proper Use to which these sheds should be put. Ike had ban desirous of geeirig the alitharity ori which the sheds Were diSposed tif iii tftig tritidiler, add it Went as far back as 180, by order' of the Engineer. Afterwards, in 1856, hy order of the boas and Quays Committee, permission was given to Store cargoes in the transit shiids; and the system ltdgtine on Until now; and this at the titisiircilYr io-A; Tent sshieli .they got fdr it. The minutes ivete theti toriflthie4. • : On the reading of the minutes oi the Marine Com- mittee, : . .. , Mr. ,BOULT enquired if there, was,amytbing Itirther to Communieate4ith,re§peot to thetnew.lifebo%t ? t , Mr. .MoNr,EL retitled. tht if Mi.,•EOult had been attending to the 'busiess of the bcatd he would have known that the boat was now complete. Be under stood the trial trip was to be made en Saturday. If Mr. BOult chose he could, no doubt, be accommo dated with a passage, and if a heavy gale came from the west he might have an opportutity of testing its capabilities. (A laugh.) Notwithstanding the fury of the late , gale, he was happy to say that no fatal accident had occurred on the river. He might mention that the lifeboat at Hoylake succeeded in rescuing a boy—the only boy—from a vessel which was stranded on the beach. The accidonts in the river to shipping, &c., had been very numerous, and some of them were of rather . a serious description. The:CHAIRMAN—That is exclusive of those that may have occurred outside. Mr. Mengionr.---Yes. The minutes were confirmed, .• The minutes of Committees on Pilotage, Docks and Quays, and Master Porters, were read over, but : they contained no feature of interest. A petition, signed by William Brew and Helen Brew, was then read, which set forth that the female peti tioner *as iiiepe of a Certain Thomas Lucas, who died intestate in 1778; lea÷ing certain Mehies in the hands of the trustees, and prayed that the said sdms shOhld be handed over to Helen Brew, as the nearest lineal descendant of the deceased‘Thomas Luca.. ' The matter was referred to the solicitor. A communication from Messrs. Robert Thorp & Co., Birkenhead, requesting permission to place a buoy in the river, at a short distance from the shore, for their own use, and subject to such conditions as the Board might impose, was referred to the Marine Committee for consideration. A memorial from Peter Cappen, measurer of foreign vessels, was referred to the Finance Committee. A communication was read from Mr.' Maxwell Hislop, on behalf of the tobacco manufacturers of the town, urging upon the Board the advisability of granting them a piece of ground near the docks, on which a warehouse might be erected for the purpose of storing tobacco leaf. They left it to the Board to look out for the best site, if the propbsal were entertained, but at the same time they suggested as a suitable spot the land opposite the Stan, ley-dock, lying between Great Howard-street and the railway. The CHAIRMAN remarked that the proposal was one well deserving of the attention of the committee. As to the proposal for the unoccupied piece of ground near the Stanley Dock, that of course was a matter for serious consideration. BROCKLEBANK said the 'Warehouse Committee had had an interview with a deputation from the tobacco manufacturers, and they had made out a very strong case why the board ought to take up the snbject. The expense of storing their tobacco in Liverpool was considerably more than it was, in London, and it had been represented to them that letters had come from America. stating that unless the charges hero were reduced, they would require to send the go,* some where else. He considered that it was a subject which the committee ought to take up. Personally, he could see no difficulty in the way of giving them the land they pointed at,.but in the meantime the question was whether they would build a warehouse of their own, or merely take the land on lease. Mr. DARBYSHIRE said that great inconvenience was caused to the tobacco manufacturers by the present unsatisfactory storage accommodation. The CHAIRMAN remarked that no •doubt the board was aware of the circumstances of the case. The warehouse at present in existence was the property of the Corporation, who leased it to the Customs. The Customs authorities desired the Corporation to take it all in their hands, but the latter refused. It then passed into the hands of a private individual, who, having only a lease of four or five years, no doubt wished to make as much out of it as he could. Referred to the Warehouse Committee. A communication from the Board of Trade was then submitted, calling attention to the fact that certain old Liverpool captains were in the habit of acting as pilots to outward-bound vessels, after the regular licensed pilots had left them in the Channel. The communication also requested the board to censidcr the expediency of giving these parties a license. Mr. LAIRD thought that if the Dock Board had any jurisdiction, it' would be a very desirable thing, although there wag,' no doubt, a difficulty in getting men they could depend upon. The CHAIRMAN said' it was clearly out of their juris diction, but what they had to consider was whether or not they should apply for it. Mr. MONDEL was in favour of the proposal. Ile said it was a common thing for some captains to take on board a fisherman, at Cape Clear, to gnicie the ship into the Mersey ; but if a captain was not able to do himself he should not hold such a position. Mr. BiOCKLEBANK remarked that there was an, instance the other day of a captain commanding a ship owned by his firm, engaging one of those fishermen pilots, and the result was that the vessel was run ashore. 'After some further conversation, the subject was remitted to the Pilotage Committee for report. Mr. LAIRD gave notice that at the next meeting he should ask for a cripy of any indemnity referring to the Liverpool docks, and also that ho would ask the engineer what were his particular reasons for recommending this indemnity. The reporters then withdrew. With reference to the letter of Messrs. Leech, Har rison, and Forwood, read at the Dock Board meeting last week, the following report had been received from the treasurer, and confirmed by the Finance Committee's proceedings:- Dock Office, Liverpool, 30th ➢lay, 1860. TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FINANCE comarrrzr,. Stn,—with reference to the letter of Messrs. Leech, Barri sOn, and Forwaod, of the 24th instant, I have respectfully to report that on the afternoon of the 23rd instant, upon being made acquainted with the provisions of the new Customs Act, which came into, operation on the previous day, I authorised the receiver of dues on goods outwa , ds to receipt one Dock and Town Dues Bill for any number of Bills of Lading by the same vessel and same shippers on the same day ; and in accordance therewith the following notice was posted at the receiver's desk at the commencement of business on the 24th :-- NOTICE. Only one Dock Entry required with any number of Bile of Lading by the sense vessel on the samo day. By order. In fact, had separate Dock and Town Dues Bills for each Bill of Lading been necessary, it would have been impracticable to have got through the business with the present stay. As it was, the number of outward dock bills passed on the day pre viously to the act coming into operation was 764—the greatest number in one day ever known. I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) GEO. J. J EFFERCON, Treasurer. : LAYING THE :FOUNDATION STONE OF A Yesterday afternoon, at Croston-street, North-end, in the, presence of three or feur hundred persons, the foundation-stone of a new chapel, in connection with the Primitive Methodists, was laid by the Rev. James Garner, who was presented, previous to the ceremony, by the Rev. James Travis, on behalf of the trustees, with a handsome silver trowel, bearing a suitable inscription. Copies of various newspapers, and a slip of paper containing the names of the trustees, the ministers stationed in the town, and the contractors ; the amount of the contract—£l,l4o, and the sum paid for the land—£s42, was placed beneath the stone after which the Rev. James Macpherson, of Birkenhead, addressed the assemblage upon the origin and -history of the connection, which it appears was:inaugurated by ten persons on the 14th of March, 1810. In 1811 it had increased to 200, in 1820 to 7,842, in 1830 to 35,733, in 1840 to 78,990, in 1850 to 104,762, in 1859 to 123,863, while this year the advance has been even more marked than before, the returns showing an increase of 8,251, making a gross total of upwards of 132 000, including the Australian stations. The official returns showed that there are in connection with the body 600 travelling preachers, 11,000 local preachers, 2,250 connectional chapels, 3,176 rented chapels, 1,950 schools, 170,000 scholars, and 30,000 gratuitous teachers. At the close of the ceremony a collection was made, which amounted to £lO ; and the proceedings were brought to a close by ,singing and prayer. In the -evening a tea meeting took place at the Shore-mill Room, Boundary-street. Four or five hundred partook of the cup "which cheers but not inebriates." A number , of hymns,were sung, and addresses were delivered by the Revs. Messrs. Macpherson, Garner, Hawcroft, and: Travis. The evening was pleasantly terminated at an early hour. The _Daily News asks What has become of the report of the National Defence Comtnissioners, which has now for many weeks been in the hands of the Minister of War. The Times again expresses its belief that it will be quite out of the question for Government to carry through the Reform Bill under the conditions imposed upon them by the state of business during the present session, THE - ACCIDENT AT 'ROBt ADJOURNED, 'INQUEST The adjourned inquest on the body of William Taylor took place yesterday, at the Sheziff's Court, St. George's hall, before Mr. Wyhergh, the deputy coronet. The "^wino evidence was given. T'-nwer, a general broker, who W2B Mr. George "--.• • ' 3 - , nnened, stated in the train at the time the accident, that when the express train stopped, he looked out ... saw the other train coming up, and he had 'just time to jump out of the carriage and save himself. He helped to get deceased from under the carriage. There is a consisletable curve in the line there, and there is a clump of trees abodt the middle of the curve ; and his impression was that the signal was defective, and he attributed the accident to that. He thought the trees obscured the signal. Mr. thothasr. Sheppard, who was a passenger in the train, was examined, and said he saw the coal train coming up, arid he jumped out of the carriage in time to save hithself: Ho saw the signal man waving his flag,, but he agreed ..v:rith the fast :Witnesis in thinking there must be some , deficiency in the'signals there. Mr. George Glynn,,a, merchant, o(Liverpool, was the next witness, and 'his ,evidence les a corroboration of the two other gentlemen. • Mr. Roberts, the station master at Roby, was examined at length. The amount of his evidence was, that all t'iat was possible had been done to prevent the accident. The signal was raised, and the signal man ran 100 yards with the red flag, to stop the coal-train, and he thought the driver ought to have seen the signals. That was the first accident that had happened at Roby. Joha AskeW, a porter, in the employ of the company, stated he was at the dangerous signal post, Roby; that he heard the coal-train coming, and ran down with his flag about 100 yards, to stop it. It was about 400 yards off then, and he waved the signal all the way. The steam was shut off when he first saw it, but the train came on at some six or seven miles an hour when it passed him. Saw the engine chain of the coal train jump off before the trains struck. Went up to him and said; 'My God, what have you been doing ; did you not see my signals ?" and he said, " I did." He said no more. The train could be seen eight or nine hun dred yards from the station, coming round from the curve. Can't say in what distance the coal-train could pull up, To Mr. Blenkinsop,the witness said he had always been able to stop a train with Elie danger.signal before, and that was the first accident that happened there. If the engine man did not expeit the passenger train then, he might not have seen the signal. John Berris, :a, plate layer on the railway at Roby, saw the accident, and said the steam was shut off the coal train when he first saw it coming up. Richard Church, a guard who was on the passenger train, said when the train stopped he looked for the driver, and found him under the engine doing some thing with the damper chain, and the deceased said he would not he a minute. He saw the accident, and saw the deceased under the carriage and the wheel on his To• Mr. Illenkinsop, the witness said he called " Get out," or "Look out." If the fireman or the engineer had been on the enginp and got on the steam, it was possible they might have got out of the way. George Fowler, the fireman, on the coal train, statei that John Platt was the driver of the train. Ho saw the danger signal about 500 yards from the passenger train; both saw the signal at the same time, and the driver shut off the steam, and witness put the break on. The driver whistled directly after. The rail was so slippery with the rain they could not stop, and besideA the other train used never to stop at Roby, so they did not expect to find one there. Noticed the danger signal before he saw the train, and szw the latter instantly then. The driver reversed the engine. In reply to Mr. Blcnkinsop, the witness said there is a danger signal for three minutes, and a caution signal for five minutes, after the train passes. The caution signal was up at .Brc%dgreen when they passed. Had 20 empty coal waggons, and but for the slippery state of the rail they might have stopped in the 500 yards. They were going about 18 or 20 miles an hour at the time. Mr. John Ramsbottom, the superintendent of the locomotive department, was examined as to the stopping of trains; and in his opinion the train with twenty empty waggons, on a favourable day, could be pulled up in 250 yards, and at the rate described he thinks it could be done in 400 yards. A train going thirty miles would not be pulled up under over 500 yards. Mr. Robert Mansell was examined as to the distances of the danger signals, and stated that he could see the danger signal at a distance of 860 yards, and at 708 yards from the station it was a clear sky blue. It can be seen all the way. There were men at all the signals to manage them. That coal train was tied to twenty four miles an hour. Mr. Blenkinsop read the rules laid clown for engine men, and said they were obliged to observe them rigidly. The inquest was then, at nearly six o'clock, adjourned to two o'clock this day.

Yesterday morning the ordinary meeting of the Workhouse Committee was held at the Parish-offices, Brownlow-hill. Mr. Churchwarden Cropper occupied the chair. Messrs. Churchwarden Smith, Denton, Critchley, Peck, Scott, Browne, E. Byford, Lightbound, Goodacre, J. Whitty. Mr. Carr, the governor, reported that the number of paupers at present in the establishment was 1,86.5, being 11 less than last week, and an increase of 61, compared with the corresponding period of last year; vagrants relieved in the sheds during the week ending the 26th instant 172 men, 89 women, 27 children, total 288, being an increase of 34 persons over last week, and a decease of 8 persons compared with the corresponding week of, last year. The medical officers reported that there were 596 persons in the sick wards last year ; new cases, 167 ; cured and discharged, 153 ; died, IS ; remaining under treatment, 02. THE REMUNERATION TO THE OFFICERS FROM THE INDIA BOARD. Mr. DENTON inquired who were the recipients of the money received from the India Board, and suggested the propriety of making the names of the recipients public. The CHAIRMAN, whilst unwilling that the list of officers who received money from the India Board should be made public, was ready .to afford the com mittee full information on the subject. When the soldiers from the Great Tasmania were sent, to the workhouse, some misunderstanding arose as to whether the India Board were ready to compensate the Work house Committee and the officers ; Mr. Rathbone was communicated with, who desired that the soldiers should receive every attention, end the India Board would amply compensate them. A question arose as to the amount of remuneration the officers should receive, and it was at last determined that the two senior surgeons should reeeive ,an army sturgeon's full pay of 245. pet day for three weeks, and the two junior officers 10s. per day—the pay of army surgeons in time of peace. The other officers, with the exception of the governor, who refused to receive any remuneration, were placed down for sums varying according to their several positions. Mr. Rathbone consented to this arrangement. The communications which passed between him (the chair man) and Mr. Rathbone were private. The governor having refused to receive any remuneration, he thought it would be preferable that the matron also should not receive any. The governor, however, had told her that she was to get some money, which had given rise to some unpleasantness. When he (the chairman) received the letter and the"money from the, India Council, he confessed he had made, a mistake in not laying them before the committee; still he thought all the gentlemen constituting the committee would have acted precisely as he had done on receipt of the communication—viz, distributed the money amongst the officers. Mr. DENTON said that since the chailman had con fessed his fault, all they could do was generously forgive him. • Yet he was strongly opposed to the chairman, or the vice-chairman, acting on their own responsibility without consulting the committee. In the present instance some unpleasant rumours had spread about the matron not receiving any part of the money. The CHAIRMAN did not think that their head officers should have desired a £5 as a gratuity. Mr. PECx did not see it in the light of a gratuity at all. The board gave meritorious rewards to meritorious officers. Mr. SCOTT took a similar view of the subject, and Mr. WRITTY remarked that it was a kind of a shame or penitential offering on the part of the Government. They had committed a crime, and they were anxious to s h o w their penitence. Five pounds was ordered to be dittributed amongst the nurses who attended upon the soldiers, and the subject dropped. TILE CRY FROM TILE CELLARS. The CHAIRMAN read the following 'report by the governor: — With reference to the. memorial of the aged men of the wor kh o use, addressed to the Poor-law Board, under date the 19th instant, complaining of their dap oom accommodation, I beg to inform the committee that the aged men occupy two dayrooms—one 58 feet 3 inches by 21 feet 9 inches, and 10 feet high ; and another 59 feet 9 inches by 24 feet 10 inches, and 10 feet high. Each of these rooms has two fireplace., for which an abundance of fuel was issued during the winter and spring up to the 13th instant. Each room has five full-sized windows facing the south, and five full-sized windows facing the north, as well as a ventilating shaft communicating with the roof of the building; there is also a covered pasFage from one day room to the other. The yard accommodation measures exactly 812 yards. From the dayrooms you enter the yard by two doors, and in doing so descend 6 inches, thus showing the floor of the dayroons to be 6 inches above the level of the yard. Now, the yard itself ranges from 3 feet 8 inches to 7 feet 1 inch above the level of the footway fronting the offices on Brownlow hill, and the average height of the dayrooms in question is fully 5 feet 6 inches above the relief offices and dayrooms close by, all of which,, it is well known, are above the level of the public road running close by. The committee can at once satisfy themselves that the alle gation that these men are located under ground is not correct, by looking from the boardroom window into the yard below and the dayroom opposite, both of which form the subject of complaint. It is worthy a note that the sleeping room of the officer in chirgp of t 143 Farfsh olly4s is several feet below the dayroom in question, although initnealltel, adorning. It is true that at the south side of the es' ounitt the high level yards of other departments, to which the aged s`tto!e, an access, stand several feet above the level of the aged men's dat rooms, but there is a four feet wide open area standing between, to provide against damp or injury to the health of the Efged men. Tho,rooms of the letter are in no part pre , sed by the earth of inc higt-level yards, nor are they approached nearer than four feet at any Wm'. It,itkowlteg to the different levels of the different roads and yards of tWe' Itorkttiottse that the steps referred to by the aged men are introdaCell * . Tife - fr -' however, alter the fact that the yards and dayrooms considerably above the adjoining Brownlow-hill referred to tu, road. Fires were not withdrawn from that! 1 14 yrooma tid the 13th _ _ - instant, and on that day the medical men ordered that fires be withdrawn from all the sick roams ; hence I discontinued them in all healthy dayrooms. This is never a popular proceeding in the workhouse. I beg here to invite the committee to inspect the accommo dation set apart for the aged. They have well-fitted lavatories, large and airy bedrooms, a private stairs for their own use, and are located with a view to keep them as far as possible from annoyance from the rougher classes. It is hardly necessary to add that there is no truth in' the statement that the inspector was kept from visiting this por tion of the Workhouse. On the contrary, both Mr. Mainwaring and Mr. Farrell visited these dayrooms in my company. One of the rooms was originalfy the Wye schoolroom, and in this room` Mr. 13i:9wn, her 4a/ fifty's Inspector of Schools, repeatedly examined ther. On no occasion Vas a" c v ehiP/41if, been made to me by any inmate of the workhouse against thbse rooms. The CuistamAN,added that the cellars were in the exact condition reported by the governor. It was quite aburd to suppose that there was any cruelty in the matter. The cellars and the yard where the old m l en' , spent their time were certainly rather gloomy and dreary, and the governor had expressed his readiness to remedy that defect as far as possible. - - - •• • - - vv Mr. DENTON agreed with the chairman that the place looked rather uncheerly ; beyond that there was nothing to grumbl&at ; and this was the first time that any com plaint had been made. THE COMPLAINT AGAINST MR. TOMLINSON. The CHAIRMAN said that the committee had inspected the beef supplied by Mr. Tomlinson, the contractor, and he desired that some of the gentlemen should express their opinion on the matter. Mr. DENTON replied that as one of the deputation appointed to inspect the meat, he must say that the quality of what he saw was very fair ; on the average, it w as as good as might be desired, on the workhouse or any other table. Mr. BYFORD had some years' experience in btiying moat; and hA must say that it WWI not "such as he should likP to have upon his table. Mr. Whitty, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Turner (who is himself a btitcher) differed from Mr. Byford. Mr. tEcx said that rather than eat the meat which he saw on Wednesday he would starve. The Cliiiin4Art eiplairied that it would not be expected that all the Meat shoirld he of the finest quality, Unlike families who selected faimirite Joints, the Workhouse Committee bought whole, or nearly whole, carcasses ; therefore they should expect to find some parts rougher than others. This was deemed satisfactory, and the subject dropped: This was the whole of the business. FLORAL & HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION AT THE BOTANIC GARDENS. Yesterday the Liverpool Floral and Horticultural Society held their first exhibition, for the season, of plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, dn. ; and, considering the state of the weather, it was astonishing to find such a splendid show, and so great a number of visitors. Notwithstanding the early date of the meeting, and the backwardness of the season, the display of flowers, tie., was certainly equal to that of any former opening exhi bition. Rain fell almost without intermission all day, and yet the marquee was continually filled by a most fashionable company, including, we are happy to say, a very large proportion of ladies, whose fair looks and bright eyes challenged a comparison with the most elegant and tasteful attractions there collected from the vegetable creation. The number and variety of colour displayed on the bonnets and dresses of the fair portion of the company were certainly sufficiently attractive to lead us for a moment to hesitate whether the moving or the stationary display of elegance and taste ought not to have carried the prizes. Certainly, although the ladies did not con stitute the objects of the exhibition, they were not the least charming part of it. On entering, the visitor could not fail to be at once fascinated by the magnificent display of gorgeous azaleas of various hues. Next in splendour came the fuschias. The orchidaceous planti, though not so numerous as either of the two classes we have named, were perhaps one of the greatest attractions of the show. 'We never saw a finer set of calceolarias than that which gained the first prize. The pelargoniums were, as usual, very numerous, and perhaps of more than ordinary variety and beauty. The achimenes and ver benas were also plentiful, and were much admired. Some of the baskets of flowers, and miscellaneous collections and devices, presented a most luxurious colour-treat to the eye, and displayed the highest taste and skill. Among the vegetables, we observed some excellent specimens of cucumbers, cauliflowers, cabbages, lettuce,' potatoes, French beans, parsley, onions, asparagus, rhubarb, and mushrooms. Excel lent order was maintained by Inspectors Tomlinson and Gardner, and twenty police officers; and the light fingered gentry who infest such gatherings were taken charge of by some half dozen detectives in plain clothes.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) CHARGE OF MUTINY. Captain Woods, of the ship Alliance, belonging to IVr. M. I. Jones, charged eight men belonging to ship for mutiny and continued disobedience, and refusing to proceed to sea. .Mr. Flluck was for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb for the defence. It appeared that the ship sailed on 'Friday last for Aderr, with a general cargo. She is a clipper, of 552 tons, and had pro ceeded as far as the " Smalls," when the got into the storm of Saturday night and Sunday mornieg, when the men rebelled, and said they would not proceed to sea, as, they alleged, the vessel was making too much water, and would founder. They wanted the captain to put into some port or harbour, and to lighten the cargo, but he refused, as he had every confidence in the seaworthiness of the ship. The men then absolutely refused to work, so the captain was obliged to return to port, and gave the men into custody. The captain was examined nt some length, and cross-examined by Mr. Cobb, when the above facts were elicited. George Newenhar, the chief mate of the ship, said the ship WAi quite seaworthy, and only made a very small quantity of water, not so mach as an ordinary ship would in ordinary weather, although it was as great a gale no he had ever experienced, but the ship rode it out in gallant style. and was now as tight as ever, and spars and all perfect. He was going in her again. Tbh men absolutely refused to work, but they were good men otherwise. They thought to . bear up for Cork, but they could not rea c h i t in c on s eq uence 6f the storm. Mr. Cobb addressed the court at some length, and contended that the men were afraid of the ship foundering, andthey only wanted the captain to put into some port, to lighten the ship, to save themselves. Mr. Raffles said he thought the case a very bad one ; no one could tell the loss that would happen to the owners in consequence of the con duct of the prisoners, although it was proved that the ship was quite seaworthy. Four of the men seemed to be worse than the others, and the. , e were sent to gaol for twelve weeks, and the others for eight weeks each. HARI) SWEARING SOME PLACE. James Cottrell, a beer-housekeeper and watchmaker, living in Lord-street, Edge-hill, and Thomas Watersort, a lodger in his house, were charged with having assaulted police-officer 33. Mr. Cobb defended. The officer stated that about two in the morning he heard a great noise in the house, and persons playing cards. They were making a great riot, and he knocked at the door, when Cottrell came out and struck him. He then entered the house, and the officer followed him, when a row took place, and the other prisoner endeavoured to rescue Cottrell. This story was corroborated by police-officers 554 and 353. Mr. Cobb cross-examined the police, and endeavoured to show that they entered the house improperly, and that the parties who were inside were not playing cards. The officers admitted that they did Rot see any cards, but they heard the people playing. Mr. Cobb contended that the police had acted improperly, and that they had no right to enter the house at all. He would cell witnesses to show that there was no card playing, and that officer 33 had used most abominable and insulting language to Cottrell, and called him down to open the door, and when he refused he came over the wall at the rear, and broke into the house, and behaved in the most outrageous and illegal manner. He would bring an action against the police, and try if they had a right to net in such a manner. He called John Coldwell, and a young woman, who swore that the police came over the back wall, and broke in the door. They called Cottrell all sorts of vile names. There was no card playing in the house. They negatived all that was sworn to by the police; but his Worship said ho did not credit the evidence, and fined the prisoners 10s. each. Mr. Cobb geld he would certainly bring an action, and try the right of the police in the case. DISHONEST WORKMAN. John Edwards, a foreman in the employment of Mr. Lin ford, an extensive wheelwright and cart-maker, in Park•lane, was charged for having plundered his employer. Mr. Cobb prosecuted; and from his opening statement, and the evidence of Mr. Linford and others, it appeared that the prisoner was for sixteen- years in the employment, and that latterly he was found out in the following plunder. He used to take wood belonging to Mr. Linford, and make it up into shafts and other articles, and sell them to several persons, making out bills in his own name, and receiving the money, which he did not account for. Besides taking the wood, he got Mr. Linford's men to make it for him. He pleaded guilty, and Mr. Raffles said it was a very bad case, and sent the prisoner to gaol for three months with hard labour. (Brfore Mosra. AIKEN and J. H. TURNER.) THE STORY OF TWO WIDOWS. A pretty woman, summoned as Henrietta Wernick, a native' of Flanders, appeared to answer a complaint preferred against her by another handsome young female, named Sarah Pearson, for detaining over £l2 worth of wearing apparel. Mr. Cobb,i was for the complainant, and Mr. Bluck for the defence. Both persons were described as widows. The defendant keeps a public-house at 31, Standish-street, and, as the complainant stated, in April last, she (the defendant) felt lonely, and asked the complainant to go and live with her as a companion, to lighten her heavy hours. She refused at first, but some time after, having quarrelled with her sister with whom she resided, she consented to go to the defendant, as the latter promised to give her " diet, washing, and lodging," for nothing. She went, and they lived together up to last week, when they had a "burst up" about a supper for a child of the ,com plainants, and then they separated. Mrs. Pearson then demanded her clothes, &c., but the defendant refused to give them up, unless the gat over £6 that she alleged was due to her by the complainant for " eating and drinking." Mr. Pluck asked Mrs. Pearson if she did not owe the money, and she said not, as she had rendered more services than what she got. Mr. Bluck : Were you ever drunk? Witness: That's an unvirtuous and unlady-like question ; but as yon seem to want some information, I tell you I never was drunk in my life. Mr. Block Lucky lady. Witness : Very. Mr. Bluck : This ease cannot proceed any further, as the defendant is a married woman, and she is summoned in her own name. Mr. Cobb (to complainant) : Is this lady married, for both are &Scribed as widows ? The complainant said her fair friend bad got mar ried on Tuesday last. Mr. Cobb then had the defendant sworn, and he asked her, what is your name ? Witness :My name now is Henrietta Woods. When were you married; Last Tuesday. What is your husband's name ? Woods. What is his Christian name ? I don't know. Mr. Cobb : What, not•know the name of your husband ? No, he has two names. What do you call him? I cell him Willy. Where do:s he live ? Sometimes in his own house in Marybone, and sometimes in my house. Mr. Cobb : Very well then, we will summon Willy Woods and Henrietta. Woods for tomorrow, and withdraw the present summons, for this is a tale of two widows. The summons was then withdrawn, and a now one issued against the new husband and his new wife. THE GREAT STORM. UPWARDS OF 100 VESSELS WRECKED AND LAMENTABLE LOSS OF LIFE. The terrific gale from the N.W. on Monday last, a most unusual occurrence at this season of the year, told with most disastrous effect upon the shipping off the coast, and the destruction of life and property has been truly appalling. As far as the present accounts furnish, no fewer than 150 wrecks and casualties occurred during its ravages. Several steamers are missing, and one, on • an excursion trip, foundered with 80 people on board. The steamers from the North Sea, which arrived in the Thomes on Wednesday, report that the gale almost equalled the hurricane which swept the coast in the latter part of last October. The cattle boats from Hamburg, Rotterdam, Flushing, and other Dutch port& had most of their live stack washed overboard, amounting to some hundreds. The decks were swept, bulwarks stove, sails split, and boats carried away ; and, in some instances, it is a miracle how the ship outlived the storm. It was upon the eastern and north-eastern range of coast that the gale produced such dreadful results. During the height of the hurricane on Monday about mid-day, eight ships, having from forty to fifty souls on board, went down in the sight of thousands of spectators on Yarmouth beach, and not a band was spared of the crews. The fearful character of the gale became unmistakably apparent before noon, and the sea rase and lashed with terrible fury. About twelve o' c l oc k a fine brig was seen to drive upon the Scroby Sand s , abreast of Yarmouth. She was almost instantly sub merged. The crew, eight men, were seen to take to the hose on t.to r hs i f : e g ht life ; -boat, hol o i,o.en w pr ii.dl a d a ls e ;c:h t va h rteri e ri caps to attract the attention fiv e idwiia which. cel toot oed a s tg e a; d i in t oet, l o ffd r . a to wlo b e c oa ;: t , li tii . •I • • • • however, wrangle • • A boattnti on shore, ai* thikqriarie' was' going on the poof ic . liows who were clineti' to the wreck were observed 014 av,,,;shed one by one out e.i "he rigging, arid' the3K peii.i,zld. Shortly after this tutai troph, dtabbtibargo , went over the sand, and went down with all ofi ibazsif. tie course of an hour or so, another brig and adioolier Were 'obeeried to be driven upon the Scroby, a'nS fir a feOr niintites the brig disappeared—her crew iiiittritie pro bably about eight. The schooner •stood tofury o r t tile, sea for a quarter of an hour, and did went ligp!c.s.. Three or four of the seamen were noticed ciinOlig`fil the masts. Three other brigs were seen to go down in Me eticle Gat, with the whole of their crews, those on shore tbingirtrabfe to render the least aid. On the Horsey heath,' re' the vicinity o f Yarmouth, the brig Ening, Peet and lif&arde f bound to the Thames from the Tyne, coal laden, was daSltft to pieces in a few minutes, and the whole of the crew were drowned, with the exception of the mister, and a man named Thomas Miney. The Maria schooner, of and for Yarmouth, was also totally lost on the Horsey beach. A fleet of disabled vessels, with loss of masts, spars, &c., put into the port for shelter and to repair damage. In the adjacent roadstead, off Lowestoft, there were hundreds of colliers and coasters, and the confusion amongst them to run for a place of refuge was most exciting, and led to innumerable collisions. Upwards' of fifty put into the harbour with the loss of sails, anchors, cabfes,. and' other damage. Off Southwold a large brig was seen . to female'', eight miles from the shore, and the weast feats ate . entertained for the fate of the crew: At Lowestoft a portion of a piano ware house was blown dblan upon the railway just after a train had passed; and' the country inland seems to have. suffered severely. At Ifolkham-park, the seat of the Earl of Leicester, hiindreds of fine oak au other trees were torn up by the roots. Higher up the coast, to the northward of Plani borough Head, the most serious havoc was occasioned'. The gale suddenly burst forth on Monday morning with the fury of a hurricane, and on the south shore of Filey Bay thirteen fine yawls were driven • on to the rocks at Speeton, - entailing a loss of up-rands of tio,orio to that fi-hormen of the place. In the neighbourhood of Redcar, at the mouth of the Tees Bay, the gale raged with destructive fury, and about twenty-five sail were driven ashore. Between seven. and eight o'clock on Monday morning, while the gale was at its height, a fine barque, called the Jane Green, Captain Taylor, was driven ashore near the Black Hall rocks, four or flse miles to the north ward of Hartlepool, and speedily went to pieces, the unfortunate master and six of his crew perishing with her, five being saved. The barque was from London, bound to Sunderland. The names of those drowned, in addition to Captain Taylor, were—Wm. Keeley, of London ; Wm. Glance and Hugh Pottinger, of Hartle pool; Henry Satan and Paul Calvert, of London;, and John H. Plummer (boy), of Sunderland. The captain was much respected, and has left a family of ,eight 'children. A tug steamer, named the Robert and Mary; belonging to Sunderland, is supposed to have foundered, with all on board, during the storm. She left Sunderland on Sunday night, and has not since been heard of. Every part along this district of coast furnishes sad tidings of the severity of the gale, and it is feared that the full extent of the mischief is yet to be learned. ,The Belgian steamer which arrived in London on Wednesday, reports a frighful catastrophe on the coast, at Flushing, where a Dutch steamer, bound on an excursion from Rotterdam to Zwolle, encountered the hurricane and foundered with all on board, off a place called Moerdyk. The number who perished is stated to be 80. Another steamer was lost about the same time at Scherening. She was the Theresa, screw steamer, on a voyage.frotn Leith to Rotterdam, but no mention is made of her crew. The snow upon the Cheviot Hills, in Northumber land, was three feet deep on Monday morning ; and Framlington and other hills, in that county and in the adjoining county of Durham, were white with snow. FASHIONS FOR JUNE. (From Le Follet ) Summer toilet is no longer a matter of prophecy. The bright and genial weather with which we have lately been favoured has enabled the fashionables-of Paris to display their taste to the best advantage, in adopting the light and elegant materials prepared for the present season. At present, for out-of-doors dress, silks of a light shade have been mostly worn, and these generally made with flounces. Dresses of stripes, alternately white and coloured, trimmed with a broad flounce of the colour predominating in the material, are also seen. The paletot is the mantle most generally in vogue, made with large sleeves and a pelerine. This is of gni= pure, of taffetas and guipure, or of plain taffetas, with a ruche or trimming of straw. The bottom of the sleeves and palettit should correspond in trimming with the pelerine. This form is very stylish and becoming for ladies above the ordinary stature. Long casaques are generally only worn by young girls. Shawls of Indian muslin, with a wide Mechlin lace, will be greatly in Summer Zouaves are made to wear with the quilting dresses, and are very pretty. They are of white quilting, or the same as the dress, and are of the same shape as those worn in the winter, and generally bound with a white braid. Light Cashmere Zouaves are still trimmed with gold, bat those of quilting may he trimmed with straw. Many dresses being made without flounces, or any similar ornament, passementerie is made in a variety of styles for trimming the fronts of skirts and bodies. The prettiest are in imitation of guipure; others are little bells, or fuchsias, small rosettes, of lace, plaits of silk, and cords of all kinds. This ornament is often used for bonnets. The cord then is made of straw, or a particular kind of silk ; and is twisted twice round the crown, and caught together at the side by a small bouquet of flowers. Straw ornaments are very much in vogue, both for bonnets and dresses. Not only are dresses embroidered with straw, seen, but also light silk and harege dresses have ornaments of straw upon them. Thin dresses must be made very full, and the skirts not set on in hollow plaits, hut. gathered. They are still trimmed round the bottom of the skirt with bouil lonn6s, plissé h la vieille, &c., of the seme material. For in-doors or walking dresses, grisailles (or black and white mixed). taffetas, worked with little silk flowers of a contrasting colour, groseille, green, violet, or blue, is suitable, or foulards—a material much patronised just now. These may be made with a Polonaise, with .a wide flounce, headed with a ruche. The bodies are usually open in front, with revers trimmed with a little ruche or frills. There is nothing particular in the make of sleeves. Light sleeves do not fit quite so closely, and are opened and rounded at the bottom. Bonnets are worn still larger than they were last month. They are raised over the forehead, and much trimmed inside with ruches. or flowers. The ruche is generally of crape, with white blonde at the__ cheeks. The trimming for the outside is very varied, but generally too voluminous to be elegant. Black lace, mixed with white tulle, ribbons, flowers, and feathers, are all worn. White•craue bonnets, covered with black spotted net, and trimmed with blws of lace, mixed with groseille, blue or violet velvets, are much morn. - Straw bonnets have generally a soft silk crown, and are trimmed with ruches of the same, and frequently have large bombes of flowers at the side. The Clotilde bonnet, made of pink crape, with a scarf of tulle illusion across, veiling a, cluster of roses at the side, and falling over the pink strings. The crown entirely covered with small roses, and fullingsof tulle. R u ches of tulle, and small pink roses inside complete this charming bonnet , which is worthy of th; name it bears. The insides of the hornets are very much trimmed— in many cases, far too much to be either becoming or elegant; but this is a fashion we hope that will not be Lon; in favour. For dress bonnets, crape, tulle, rice -strew, leghorn, silk, mixed with tulle or straw, are equally fashionable. It has been said that the mixture of black and white could no longer be used. This has proved to be an error, as it is still very much worn, but generally with rose, lilac, or blue, which we think an improvement. Morning bonnets are trimmed very simply. A black or brown straw bonnet should have merely a bouquet o wild poppies, corn-flowers, or wild roses with black strings, and black or brown curtain: Dress bonnets have frequently a blonde veil ; those more simple a Chantilly; and morning bonnets "are worn without a veil. Hats will be worn again in the country, hut we fear that they will not gain favour in the city ; we wish they would, as they are certainly very becoming to most faces, and scarcely unbecoming to any. It is surprising how each recurring year the Parisian provides for the wants of fashion. At the close of each successive season our arti,Rtes appear to sink into apathy, and to think that art is exhausted and fancy beyond recall. A visit to Paris dispels the illusion, and shows that, while listlessness had cast its rpell at home, genius has quickened the faculties abroad. These facts are made peculiarly manifest in the late, arrivals of mantillas at the Messrs. She Hard and Hodgson's, 40, Bold-street; each particular style giving diginity to the wearer ; and if this be beyond the reach of art, it is, at least, guiltless of vulgarising dignity, or marring its , attendant graces.

CORRESPOT4TANCE. THE PRIZE RING. Tll EVITOR OE THE DAILY TIMES ant glad to see by an advertisement in yours of to-day, that Bet* trettle, of nirmingharn, and his tioupe of boxers are coniing to the Adel Phi Theatre, on next Itimiday night, to exhit)it their superior style ed and when We think of the pluck an courage of Brett!!'' in fighting our little champion, and flooring bini tivice bekve Heenan floored him once—and when the Liverpool pm* ree what a small man he is to even Sayers, and much mord Ikenan, I think they will acknowledge that he deserves an equal; share of praise. Itut it is Brettle's urbanity of manner and unassuming straightforward demeanour out of the ring that has secured him' the goodwill and esteem of the highest and the lowest of all Ames in Birmingham and the locality. I hope, on MondayOt, to see him display as I have often done upon the tattle field.—Yours, Liverpool, May 31. FISTIAIiA. TESTIMONIAL TO GARIBALDI. TO' li/fl EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES, Sin,—At a putlit meeting held in St. Martin's-hall on Tuesday evening, the 22nd of May, for the purpose of expressing the sympati of the tritish nation for the Sicilians, the following resolution was moved and carried by acclamation " That, in order to afford the fitierr6s of the brave Garibaldi an opportunity for showing their high admira tion of his pure patriotism and heroic valour, this meeting is of opinion that a committee should be appointed to receive subscriptions, to be presented as a testimonial to the General." In accordance with the above, a committee, consisting of the following gentlemen were then appointed —Mr. Frederic Lanrence, Temple, (Chairman) ; Mr. Beal, 209, Piccadilly ; Mr. G. J. Holyoake, 147, Fleet-street ; Mr. George Leverson, Bloomsbury -square ; Mr. H. J. Slack, Camden Town ; Mr. W. Wilson, Royal Exchange; with power to add to their number. Asa friend of liberty, and an admirer of Garibaldi, your support, and that of your friends, to the fund is respectfully solicited by the committee. Subscriptions will be received by either of the above, or by yours most Obediently,. T. P. F. noDGr, Eon. 5...

TO THE EDITOR OF DAILY TIMES Stn,--I have read the two letters in your pages upon Irish Emigration, and I must say that neither of them are bright specimens of diction, as one writer uses the term, but I will vouch for the truth of what I state, that if things in Limerick are only half as bad as they are in the west of Mayo, Mr. Leeming's letter, bad as it is, deserves attention. He says that things are the same all over Ireland, more or less. lie is quite right; but I think that Limerick, although it is bad enough, is one of the best counties in Ireland, where things are not so bad as they are elsewhere. In Mayo, which is so ex posed, the distress of the people is heart-rending, owing principally to the operation of a prolonged winter upon a people whose condition is always precarious. Here is an opening for the benevolent, for the relief of the poor who are literally starving, and who must depend for subsistence from that class until the ripening of the harvest. Hoping that you will insert this,—l remain, yours respectfully, Liverpool, May 30, 1860. PETER MALONE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sin,—l have been reading en attempt at criticism, by a person who signs himself as G. Scholefield, upon a short letter which you had the kindness to insert in your paper, on the subject of Irish emigration. I do not intend to occupy your valuable space with any explana= tions of my letter, for it does not require them, but I will answer his first question—" Whom do I com miserate the employing farmer or the employed labourer ?" My answer is "both." I pity them both, from my heart, and I also pity his attempt to shut the eyes of the public to the true state of things in that country. I will not deny that my diction may be entangled (for my diction was never very good), but I do deny that my meaning is obscure. True, it seems so, from the few unconnected and picked extracts which he has asked an explanation of ; bat an attentive reader of my letter. bad as the diction of it may be, could not fail to see what tho writer's intentions were. I pictured to the best of my ability, and without any colouring, the state of Ireland. I have done my duty in giving publicity to that state, and I care not what other per sons, or Mr. Scholefield, may think, or what diction they may use, to hide that pitiful state from the public. Trusting that you will kindly insert this, and oblige,_ J yours, &c., J. LEEMING. Liverpool, May 30, 1860. THE COURT. On Tuesday her 'Majesty laid the first stone of a new church at Chippinghani. TRADE TO INDIA AND CHINA. Our exports to India during the quarter ending 31st March, amounted to £3,754,146 against £4,557,007 in corresponding quarter of last year, showing a reduction of about 21 per cent. compared with the same period in 1858; however, there is an increase of 7 per cent. to China. The total has been £1,40,881, showing an excess over the first quarter of 1859 of £490,755, or more than 60 per cent. THE SORROWS OF "THE STAR." In rain I spend my eloquence, My arguments let fly, To tnach the peorle how to he Pirsatisficd, and why. I poke the British Lion up : 'ln his dull ear I scream; I stir tlio tiro. I hlncr the coals. But can't get up the steam! There's flogging in the Army ; There's jobbing in the Fleet; Corruption is the Treasury ; Tntr!gue in Downing -street! That horrid Volunteerin— g• For sarcasm what a theme ! But vain my skill, do what I will, I can't get up the steam! Vain, morning after morning, My preaching up Reform; The more I beat the iron The more it won't get warm: On indirect Taxation My attacks would fill a ream. Yet none will buy or back my err, I can't get up the steam At all the age's vices I've gone in left and right; I've written down Torn Sayers— I've written up John Bright ; 'Painst cakes and ale in genial I've turned my vitriol stream; But cakes and ale do still prevail; I can't get up the steam! It's awful to contemplate A nation like our own, Going headlong to perdition (As the Star has often shown). They tread the Bowery pathway, Wrapped in their fatal dream, And turn deaf ears to all my fears, — I can't get up the steam! AVoen our Commons' rights invading, The Peers' presumptuous vote Keeps up the excise on po.per, In vain I swell my throat, — Vain an "outraged consti,ution" And a " down-trod people" seem, E'er. a " bloatod ari.toeraey " Wi I not get up the steam! In short, the country's apathy To Times, Peers, Church, and Crown ; Must sicken one who fain would see All things turned upside clown ; Who'd make the Star its country's guide, For the Titres' delnsive beam ; But the more I preach the fewer I reach, And I can't get up the steam! Oh, what this Ergland yet might he, If Blight were at the helm, With a graduated income tax All t tact to o'ervrhelm-- And universal suffrage-- But hence too pleasing dream, For that bright page--that Golden Age-- I can't get up the bteam!--runch.
