(Signed) • Chairman of the said Meeting. THE MASTER BUILDERS wish to inform the Public of the concessions made to the Workmen last itZrLand the fresh demands that the Workmen are ordered by full Union t o make, during the present, and which they respect- Ty earnestly request the Public to aid them in resisting. di tt VLconces s i ons made during last year, with respect to the ab ou 'illitinn of the hours of labour were these, that the men u come to work one hour later on Monday morning, and h a T f e a nff one hour sooner on Saturday afternoon, and to have formenebour allowed for breakfast during the winter, which was bp b y : I T not taken, being two hours and a working er week given formerl e Masters, which, as the number of hours was Master YfosixtY-two, increased the cost of the labour to the The Br lir Per cent. week layers demanded that they should receive 2s. per which demand, and a similar one from the Labourers, was ge omplied with. As the Bricklayers' . wages were 245. their 1 ek' the addition of 2s. per week increased the cost of that about. to the Masters rather more than 8 per cent., and -„„ of the Labourers in a still higher proportion, so that the filasters, from the concessions made last year, in diminution of Urs Which was universal, are which 4 per cent. more for labour, and an increase of wales, was general, 8 per cent. More, together 12 per cent. This year the following notice was ordered to be sent by the Union to the Master Masons : " On and after the 9th day of March next, the hours of labour rn Liverpool and its vicinity, for the Stone Masons, shall be limited to 54 hours per week, to be divided in the following Manner to commence work at seven o'clock on Monday morn ing, and at six every other morning (luring the week, and to leave work on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, at five o'clock, and on Saturdays at three, taking half an hour for breakfast, and one hour for dinner each day." This further diminution of hours from 591 to 54, (5k,) now demanded, would further increase the cost of labour to the Masters 10 per cent., making, with 12 per cent. already sub tinted to last year, a total increase of 22 per cent. on the prime cost of labour, thus increasing its entire cost in all Buildings nearly ONE-FOURTH. In Manchester, the workmen, in many ) 2rancbes, are now standing out for sixpence per diem extra, a ndto leave off at twelve on Saturdays; as their wages are at Present 4s. 6d. per diem, the additional sixpence would in crease the cost of th e i r l a b our H per cent., besides the half un daY on Saturday. at..,The Bricklayers in Liverpool were ordered by the Union to juice when the Masons had conquered, and all the other Build ;ll...Trades were to strike in succession, till the demand this th r e Was, like the first demand last year for the diminution of ~hours of labour, complied with. i li aatt the Masters given way in the belief that the present de aC". ds would be final, and on this belief taken large contrac . t , s kmr,enormous additional cost agar the public, they would stid e „,.e nad no security whatever gnst further demands. The fre`ii s el ence of the past shows that the Union could have ordered rui demands to be made, to their certain loss and probable for the demands of the Union have at all times been raised are',„ r° Portion to the concessions made by the employers, who A. "..nw compelled to unite and lay their case before the public. the 'ew Maste rs ' have kept aloof from the great majority, on whigound that their men have no connection with the Union, this re they affirm, their men and themselves alike disapprove; !xpi ai anon is stated at large by Mr. Haigh in a published letter, gs i t he after taking a prominent part in the proceed ter of the Masters he left them.

A T a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS Tv of the BOROUGH of LIVERPOOL, convened by the Mayor, and holden in the Sessions House, on MONDAY, the 13th day of April, 1846, "To take into consideration the Bill of the Liverpool and Harrington Water Works Company now before Parliament," DAVID HODGSON i Esq., Mayor, in the Chair, It was moved by WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., seconded by GEORGE GREEN, Esq., and resolved unanimously, That the quantity of water now furnished to this town is very deficient, and the mode of distribution in many rospects faulty and imperfect, more especially in the districts inhabited by the workingslasses ; that no effectual change for the better can be expected so long as this prime necessary of life is made an ar ticle of merchandize, and dealt in with a view of profit, and that it is therefore the interest as well as the duty of all classes of the community to unite in securing an abundant supply at the lowest possible charge. It was moved by Thos. BLACKBURN, Esq., seconded by THOS. MooRE, Esq., and resolved unanimously, That this object is most likely to be attained by concentrat ing the necessary powers in one public body, appointed by, and responsible to, the inhabitants at large, and who shall under take the duties as a trust for the benefit of the town : that in the opinion of this meeting an ample supply can be obtained if the requisite outlay be made for the purpose, and that no ex penditure of money could be more advantageous, nor event ually, more economical, and that keeping the mains constantly full,and thereby having the water always at command, is es sential to cleanliness and salubrity, and to the facility of extinguishing fires. It was moved by JAMES REAY, Esq., seconded by the Rev. Was. BEVAN, and resolved unanimously, That for the foregoing reasons (as well as others) the bill now before Parliament, brought in at the instance of the Liverpool and Harrington Water Company, is highly objectionable: that the bill is calculated to perpetuate the vicious principle of pri vate competing companies, and while it confers great and op pressive powers, it gives no guarantee for any increase of the quantity of water, or any improvement in the mode of its dis tribution : this meeting therefore resolve to petition Parliament to refuse its sanction to that bill, and to adopt in its wisdom such measures as may secure the objects pointed out in these resolutions. Resolved—That the following Petition be adopted, and signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting, and that he be requested to forward the same to the Members for the Borough, for pre sentation. To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. -- . The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the Borough of Li verpool, in the county palatine of Lancaster, in public meet ing assembled, convened by the Worshipful the Mayor of Liverpool. pursuant to a requisition signed by upwards of 700 Inhabitants of the said Borough, Sheweth,—That the Liverpool and Harrington Water Works Company, have recently introduced a Bill into your Honorable House, entituled, "a Bill to amend the provisions of the several acts passed in the 3rd and Sth years of his Majesty King George the 4th, for supplying with water the town of Liverpool, and Harrington, and Toxteth-park, in the county of Lan caster." That this Bill appears to this meeting to be highly objection able in system, inasmuch, as it seeks to perpetuate a principle which has proved to be incompatible with the cheap and ade quate supply of water for the public. That your petitioners are of opinion that their object can be best accomplished by entrusting the supply to a public body, whose duty will be to improve the sanatory condition of the Inhabitants, and reduce their burdens by providing a cheap and continuous supply of pure and wholesome water. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Honourable House to reject the Bill, and to refuse its sanction to any mea sure which may not tend to recognize and give effect to the principle which your Petitioners have taken leave to suggest to your Honourable House. And your Petitioners will ever pray. (Signed) DAVID HODGSON, Mayor. The Mayor having vacated the chair, It was moved by J. BRA MLEY MOORE, Esq., seconded by GEO. GREEN, Esq„ and resolved unanimously, That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be presented to the Worshipful the Mayor for his kindness in convening and pre siding at this Meeting.

D OWLAND'S ODONTO, or, PEARL DENTI FRICE, Patronized by her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family of Great Britain, as well as the several Sovereign and Courts of Europe. . . The importance Of possessing A FINE SET OF TEETH is uni versally acknowledged by all who attach due value to per sonal advantages and the blessings of health. A regular, firm, and pearly row of Teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while the indispensable agencies which they fulfil in respect to the functions of health demand our utmost care and attention in their preservation. Disorders of the Teeth, however slightly regarded, are inevi tably attended with evils which affect the whole system. What ever renders mastication painful or imperfact, not only lessens our relish and enjoyment of food, but also prevents that perfect comminution and mixture of it with the saliva, which is indis pensable to perfect digestion, and hence orises an endless train of diseases of the stomach, while at the same time the body is deprived of the wonted nourishment, and the whole system languishes in a state of discomfort and disease. Perhaps among all the disagreeable consequences that follow fast the decay of the Teeth—an impure breath must be the most mortifying to its possessor, as it is the most generally offensive in society. The DECAY OF THE TEETH arises from various causes; but, principally, it may be attributable to early neglect, ill health, oe the use of Tooth Powders containing mineral or other deleterr ous acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the teeth, whili they corrode the enamel I—The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment. To this fact, in deed, is principally to be attributed the long botanical research, which has happily terminated by the most felicitous discovery ever given to the world for the PRESERVATION OF THE TEETH, Gusts, and BREATH, viz., ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, a White Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the choicest and most recherche ingredients of the oriental herbal ; the leading requisites of cleanliness and efficacy being present in the highest possible degree. It extirpates all tartar oils adhesions to the Teeth, and insures a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties exercise a highly-beneficial and salutary influence, they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indicative of perfect soundness ; while, by . confirmi ng their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication; the BREATH also, from the salubri ous and disinfecting qualities of the ODONTO attains a sweet ness arid fragrance truly grateful to its possessor. It speedily removes those ravages which children sustain in their Teeth, owing to improper use of sweet and acid articles, which imperceptibly destroy them. The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves, that its efficacy in preserving and embellishing the Teeth, far surpasses anything of the kind ever offered to the Public. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic purifier of the BREATH, TEETH, and GUMS ever known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility through out Europe ; while the general demand for it at once announce s the favour in which it is universally held.

Sin,—Varions circumstances prevented the possibility of my thanking you before thiS time for your politeness in sending me your pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of send ing you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect ; nav, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad.

A WONDERFUL CURE OF DROPSY OF FIVE YEARS' STANDING. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Thomas Taylor, Chemist, Stockton, Durham, 17th April, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,—I think it my duty to inform you that Mrs. Clough, wife of Mr. John Clough, a respectable firmer of Acklam, within four miles of this place, had been suffering:from Dropsy for live years, and had had the best medical advice without receivirg any relief. Hearing of your Pills and Ointment, she used them with such surprising benefit that, in fact, she has now given them up, being so well and quite able to attend to her house hold duties as formerly, which she never expected to do again. I had almost forgotten to state that she was given up by the Faculty as incurable. When she used to get up in the morning it was impossible to discover a feature in her face, being in such a fearful state. This cure is entirely by the use of your medi cines.—l am, Sir, yours, &c. &c.,, (Signed) THOMAS TAYLOR.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NoTniNci.--At the police court yesterday, Capt. Hamlin, of the Royal Engineers, urged a formal complaint to Mr. Rus.htnn, of what he conceived the derogatory conduct of one of the police officers (No. 213.) towards one or his corps of Sappers and Miners. It appeared teat the soldier, who appeared in his foraging • attire. hafl on Saturday gone into the court to attest to two recruits ; that he was seen to wear his cap while the business of the court was going on ; that he was requested by two police officers to take it off ; that he refused to do so, alleging that he was .on military duty; and that a third (213) took it off, hut without violence. The Captain stated that it was the custom in the army not to doff the hat or cap in any court, or elsewhere, unless the party were taking an oath, or atte,ting upon it; and as the soldier had refrained from chastising the offence at the moment, he (Ihe captain) trusted that his forbearance, and his seeking redress by an appeal to the magistrate would not be in vain. The soldier stated the case as re. lated, adding that his orders were not to uncover except in the case mentioned. The officers proved their case in defence, 213 stating that he was ignorant of having acted wrongly. Capt. tiamlin said he was anxious to have the point of etiquette decided, and that it was decidedly wrong for a police officer to lay hands upon a soldier who was not an offender against the laws. Mr. Rushton said that in that respect the officer was certainly wrong. His duty was to represent the case to him at the time. Had the soldier corm lained to him at the time, he should cer tainly have advised him to take off his cap, with.an inti mation that he (Mr. R.) should consult his commanding officer. Colonel Falkner, on the point. He admitted soldiers were jealous, and properly so. of their privileges, and as he wished a good understanding to exist between them and the civilians, he should take care to mention the circumstance to the commanding officer of the corps that very day, and he regulated by his opinion. Capt. Hamlin exp-essed his thanks, and the parties lea the court. Two brigs, the Belfast of Liverpool, and the Admiral, were wrecked off the north-east coast of Scotland. during the late gales. Thirteen lives were lost in the Belfast and twelve in the Admiral. THE THEATRE ROYAL, WILLTA MON- QU ARE wall re-opened (s ter having been closed fora short time) last night, with Shakspeare's tragedy of " Romeo and Juliet," in which Miss firlen Faucet personated Juliet, in a man ner that will in no way deteriorate the laudable opinions we have hitherto entertained and expressed. No piece could be better calculated to display the relative talent of the. Company than that selected, and it gives us plea.• sure to award to them, individually, the credit of having sustained these characters in a most creditable manner. Mr. Henry Farren's " Nicholas Flam," in the laughable farce of that title, was beyond excellent. The scenery by Messrs. Cordon and F. I.l)yds, was most splendid, and it is only through extraordinary press of local matters of yesterday that prevents our entering into detail. .

At this day's market we had a moderate supply of English Wheat, the fine runs of which found ready buyers at the cur rency of this day week. The transactions in bonded were chiefly in small parcels to millers, who clear by certificates, the value of which has ad vanced to 16s. per qr. Fine Barley was alone in request; other sorts the turn cheaper, which remark also applies to Malt. No change in the value of hog Peas. Boiling sorts are fully Is dearer. Beans Is lower. We have a good arrival of Irish oats, but the quantity of Eng lish and Scotch is only trifling. Good fresh horse corn was taken by consumers at the currency of this day week, but par cels out of condition of light qualities were difficult of sale, and could have been bought on somewhat lower terms. THE TURN OUT OF THE WORKMEN. We have little that is new or precise to report relative to the turn out this week. We can only state that the men, renerally, remain firm to their purpose, be it for good or evil to themselves. A considerable number, how ever, of principally joiners and bricklayers , have signed the "declaration" required by the masters, and returned to work. Bat the stone-masons yet stand out strongly. It is a remarkable fact, which we learn from good au thority, that few or none of the latter body of operatives (and in they the are vicinity ver o t.hr u their numerous)saural places eto be s o e en f inth streets,e or employment. They appear in fact, in this respect, to have made up their minds to undergo a silent and occult struggle, so long as their resources will avail them. We repeat that we never yet knew, in our experience of years, any good to result to the workmen from these emeures, but, on the ( ontrary, an injury to themselves and families. At: the same time, as public and private works of mag nitude are going on. (or should be,) tending to the general good. we sincerely hope that some amicable arrangement will shortly be come to, satisfactory to both parties. At Bradford there is not the least appearance of any arrangement being come to between the masters and the journeymen. The trade of the town of Bradford at the present time is such that the masters are benefitted by the absence of the men, and under the circumstances we are reminded of the woolcombers' strike in 1825,—it, as the present, was unfortunate for the working men. At Manchester the strike still continues; the employ ers are gradually filling up their shops with applicants who are willing to work, and who sign the declaration. The turn.outs keep up the system of piquetting, and of intercepting the bands whenever it is practicable, and en ticing them away. On Sunday la•t tour gentlemen were drowned in the Thames off the new pier at liungerford Bridge, by the displacing of a plank on which they were walking from one lighter to another. The subject of Taw : ell's confession was again bef o re i the the magistrates, at the Buck s Fes ,i ons , fast v s eek ; a re a s t o chaplain, pl w ai a n s , t p h a e sse ß d e , v b . y m a r. rn ( t x r , i tyshoofuladixptroodt,h,rereet e docu , h ment. The rev. gentleman, however, said that he bad made a soletin promise to Tawell not to part with the statement, and that no power on earth should ever induce him to do so. It remains to be seen what further pro ceedings will be taken. On Saturday, Samuel Yarham was executed at Norwich for the murder of Mrs. Candler, at Yarmouth. He did not make any confession but maintained a sullen silence. 20,000 people were present. This execution stands in one respect almost unparalleled in English history—that of a man being hanged for a murder after he bad been allowed to give evidence against three supposed accom plices in the same ofreoc... He is also executed upon statements which be himself made whilst under the im pression that, in consequente of giving such evidence, he was free from any ulierior proceedings. CATTLE FROM THE CA+ E.—A vessel called the Sir Edward Ryan arrived in the St. Katherine's Decks a few days since from Canton and also the Cape of Good Elope, at which latter place she had called on ber homeward voyage, bad on board, in addition to an extensive cargo, comprising every ankle usually imported from China and the Cape respectively, 60 bags oj flour, 63 bags of barley, sundry packages of onions, apples, seeds, and flowers, and 80 sheep, the produce of the latter place. The im portation of cattle from the south of Africa is certainly a novelty, and it remains to be seen to how great an extent such importations from that distant quarter of the globe may profitably be carried. NEW RAILWAY lioTEL.—Much alarm has been cre at .d amongst the hotel-ke-pers in this town by a rumour that the Grand Juncti. n Company are about to possess themselves of the whole of the land from Lime-street to Hoth3m-street, and from London-road to Lord Nelson street, including the whole of the Blind Asylum, for the purpose of erecting an hot , l upon it for railway passen gers. It is said 'hat, having teen disappointed in pro curing the site of the Islington Market, they have now set their eyes on the land in question, and are determined to purchase it from the several owners. The hotel keepers view the design as an infringement upon their private rights, and are likely t 3 call a meeting shortly with the view of memorializing the Council on the sub ject. Tne result of the neentiations of the Cheater and Ho lyhead Company with the Government for the immediate formation of a harbour of refuge and railway pier at the latter port, is that if the company agreed to contribute towards the outlay a sum of £200,00U, the works should be carried out to the full extent described on the plans, and be immediately commenced, and prosecuted' with the utmost expedition. The inner pier is to be appropriated to the company's traffic and the use of her Majesty's go vernment, and the present harbour deepened for the pur poses of the railway by giving accommodation to the lar ger class of steam-packets, until such time as the new harbour and pier can be n ade available. Government has undertaken to pay £30,000 annually for the carriage of the mails for five years, to be subs 'quently increased on a scale with the interest accruing to the line. The shareholders have consented to the terms proposed. THE WEATHER.—Never was the precarious nature of our c iniate more fully demonstrated than within the last ten days. On Sunday week, we had (as we have before stated,) a heavy downfall of snow, sleet, and rain, with the attendant cold and dreariress of the middle of win ter. On Sunday last, particularly in the afternoon, the atmosphere became warm, it not sultry ; and to crown all, we had in the evening, between six and seven o'clock, a brief but somewhat alarming thunder storm ! Friday (Good Friday,) was a truly delightful spring day, and the Dicky Sams, a - nd their wives. relatives. and friends, turned out in perfect shoals. like midges on a cious summer day. Those who reside don the Cheshire side of our noble river were under the impression —from the vast ' multitudes who there landed from the steam-boats, that Liverpool had disgorged nearly its whole population. We can assure them they were egregiously mistaken. Otir own streets, as well as those of Birkenhead and its park, were thronged throughout the day. We in truth wondered where all the people came from. We have li terally bad fine April weather—" smiles and tears,"—and yesterday afternoon, a downfall in which the " tears" amounted to an absplute " flood." Meantime, vegetati on, released almost at once from the rigours of wintry cold, progresses with great rapidity, and, it the same tem perature and genial showers continue, the country will ere long present one flush of verdure. .41 ...-. 935,
