THE NORTAIMIN TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1859 tiie toiOugh engineer's department kr the north district, in the place of Mr. Richard Blades, deceased, at a salary of .1150 per annum, tile consideration of which was postponed at the last.mouthly council, pursuant to the standing orders. Aikiu, said, the inspectors of lodging-houses found their dutiei very disageeable,, as ventilation was carefully excluded, the smell 'being often intolerable, and. in many cases producing Vomiting. He thought there was something more to be done than to pay the,inspector £5O a year for such duties He thought it would be better if the health committee ,would see if that intolerable state of things could beremedie'd. Aid he wished to say a word, but not in dis paragement of the health committee. It was very well to speak of their remedying this or that, but . hettought that they had not the power to do that which was absolutely necessary for the .health .of the town. His Attention had been brought to the matter by a magistrate, who_ pointed had been done in Wootton - , Avhercs: the bTlging aerii were well satisfied with the better arrange hat had a .in de. 234 hoes, In fou ;ts in Liveric?l in th In these are 5,314 inhalitants ?,re are 13 registered, and ets, and 451 in Of these 14tered.

In these streets the occupants of the houses w-, - ;re people of the lowes classes, and the houses were in most easesara dreadful d it was sure the •eflections on I. de of Mr. Dover : Is this fair ? .1t is throWing the health conunittm. Mr. Earle :T de 't care a straw for the health committee or any body else. (Laughtm . .) If yon allow me to go oul with it, I will answer any questions you may think proper t o ask. After a few more remarks, Mr. Earle brought forward the 'following resolution of which he had Om notice at last ,council :—" That the health committee be requested 'to furnish - a report to the council. showing"the operation of the Lodging-House Act in Liverpool, in 45rder to ascertain whether 'any better arrangements can be "made for ate regulation Of with dwellings ; the report to -ccntain a return of the number of registered houses within the borough ; the proportion which they bear to these not registered ; the mode of proceeding with regard to them; the length of time occupied between the application for the license and the granting of it; the nature of the inspection of the houses, and by whom it is made." Mr.'Xitchen secor.ded the motion. Mr. Dover said, he thought the character ef.the health would suffer in the meantime commit Mr. Earle said, he had his information from a police- Mr. Dover said, thefact 'was if they turned out these people, and their bedding, the moment the police officers backs were turned, the' people were back into the houses a,„...ain, and their beds along with them. Mr. Robertson Gladstone said he was a member of the health committee, and he would admit that the information laid' before that committee, to his mind had never created that consideration which, under the circumstances he thought 'it ought to claim. He believed that every member had , a desire to do his duty, but it was beyond their means. He took that opportunity of expressing his pleasure that .the subject had been brought before the council. Mr. Alderman Cooper said he was much indebted to 31r. Earle for the information he had brought forward Mr Anderson also expressed his satisfaction at what had 'been said. Mr. Sheil said he entirely concurred with Mr. Gladstone in -the remarks made by him, but he believed that he might say the Health Committee had done all that was in their power. if any man would get new power, and get it placed in the hands of the committee, they would be very happy in bestowing their attention to benefit the town. He thought that a second question was involved in that one, and that was the expenses that were being incurred. If they wished to carry that out, they must b very economical in other matters. Rome was not built in a day, and the evils of Liverpool could not be remedied in that time. If they went on expending money in other matters at such an ex travrant rate,the present matter could not be done. Mr. Earl said he gave the Health Committee credit for what they had done. The motion was carried, and the proceedings of the com- anittee were confirmed COURTS 07 LAW AND ST. GEORGE'S HALL COMMITTEE The proceedings of this committee were read. "Mr. Alderman Turner moved their confirmation Mr. Ryley asked when the report ordered at the last council, as to the probable cost of St. George's Hall, and the time of its-completion, might be expected? Mr. Turner said the report was now in preparation. Mr.' Gladstone : Mr. Mayor, I feel, in reference to the proceedings from time to time of the St. George's Hall Committee, that I, as well as every other member of the council, are responsible for the very serious outlay which is being incurred. I wish, therefore, to ask, on behalf of the public, whether the system of torture which has been adopted towards the façade of that noble structure, with regard to the ground immediately around it, or rather to the eastward of it, is to be continued ? There are loud complaints made of two things,—first, of the raising of a stone wall at the south end, more especially; and also of the placing of, I think, four lions to the eastward (laughter). I was under the impression that it was our intention to get rid of - those deformities altogether. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) For myself, I confess that I am utterly at a loss to understand , why 'it is that we should, all of us, pin our faith upon that very striking specimen of the brute creation, the lion. • The day, if it has not gone by, ought to have passed away when we would select, 'for the expres sion of our views, a mass of stone carved into all sorts of shapes and forms, to represent our determination to break that'law which enjoins that we should regard others equally as we regard ourselves. It would seem to me much more in harmony with the professions of many men in regard to religion, that, instead of a lion, we should have either a dove.or a lamb, or some similar animal consistent with what we read in Holy Writ, as emblems of our opinions. A work has lately appeared which, doubtless, has been read by many, if not by most gentlemen in this room— I refer to the work of Dr. Livingstone on Africa. In that work it is set down that, instead of btng ' the animal many persons suppose I him to b e , 'The lion, when fairly met by any brute. of equal strength, is little more than an arrant coward. (Laughter.) In more than one instance other members of the brute creation have proved themselves -to be more than a match for him. I should mention one in particular, which is a race pretty well known - that of the buffalo. (Laughter.) Against the buffalo, I believe, under ordinary circumstances, the lion has no chance whatever. (Laughter.) I refer to this matter because I think it is high time that we should give up these kinds of devices. (Hear, hear.) I think, if we placed a little lees dependance 'upon any such inanimate expression of our views and feelings, it would be greatly to our credit. Some persons have remarked that the lions have been retained because they resembledcertain members of the St. George's-hall committee. (Loud laughter.) I cannot say that I, myself, have been able to trace any particular resemblance - (laughter) —'but if there be any, I hope each member of the committee will say which lion he fancies the most, and walk off with it—(laughter)— for they are most inconsistent with the structure itself, with the style of the architecture, and every other circumstance, and I was in, hopes, and I believe the public out of doors were in hopes. that we should have no more of the lions. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) _ Mr. Alderman Holme said, with reference to the wall, level surface or nearly so, to 'throw off .the water, in con sequence of the ground being so much out of level. The committee, could not, therefore, carry out the direction which the council itself gave, without building the wail to which allusion had been made. The plans had been laid before the council. He could not quite follow Mr. Gladstone in his essay on natural history (laughter) ; nor was he able to say what member of the council by the lion, who he now learned was not so courageous an animal as he had always -supposed him to he. (Laughter.) In the spirit of peace 11 ith Mr. Gladstone introduced, he could only say he if the council wished to choose the aymbol he 44 Rug,,,rested, and to introduce at one end of the building a lamp, and at the other end a dove, he hoped they would take the liberty of asking Mr: Gladstone himself to do them the honou r of letting the artist take him as a model. 41-lear,thear, and loud laughter.) Mr. 811(41 thought the lion was ver unfairl treated in being represented by such animals as those y around the hall, which were like nothi ng e i t h er in this other. (Hear, hear, and lau g h ter ) world or the Mr. Earle hoped the committee 'would be allowed to finish what they had b%un. Until they had finished it, the effect of the design could not h e judged of He were nd li. th il a s t they f orme d reminded the council that there w outside the Fitzwilliam Museum, in Cambridge a coninion architectural ornament in other towns of the Continent. Veil' 1(..e , and many Mr. Alderman Bennett congratulated the committee the recent changes which they had introdueediitite up t approaches to the ball during the last few months. (1)11 le sure the committee had risen in public estimati on because of o what they had done.. He presumed that the lions f would have a superior finish given to them which would snake them become much more sightly animals (Hear, He approved of such ornaments himself, and so long as they were not out of place he did not care whether thy were buffaloes, lions, lambs, or doves. (Laughter.) The subject then dropped. A nsevorial was read from the Festival Choral Society, praying tkat the additional charge of £l, lately imposed for every concert given in the St. George's Hall, might not be nforced. gr. Alderman Bennett moved that the meutg- on the occasion, accordi comAtrrEE was to 1 the gppointinent than in favour of it ;punts, otc tial be referred to the St. Georea Rall com mittee.' _ _ The motion *as agreed to, and the goiktral proceedings of the committee wete then confirmed. MARKETS The proceedings of this committee were read Mr. Johnston moved their confirmation, which' was seconded by Mr. Ridley. Mr. Farnworth then rose to move the following resolution, of which he had given notice: —To rescind thefollowing resolution of the council, passed at their meeting en the 2nd inst., so . far as relates to the appointment of a ge neral superintendent of the markets, viz., " That a general superintendent of all the markets be appointed, at a salary not exceeding £3OO per annura." He mast confess than he was very much sntrised that the 'council should sanction any such proposition, - and he did hope that when the motion was carried by the casting vote of the Mayor, that the committee would have paused before carrying the motion into effect. It had been ,his pleasure since he had the honour of -sitting in that room to hear many arguments in favour of propesitiOns brought before the council, but he never heard any matter carried with such weak arguments._ The argments which were used 'rime against the matter had arisen out of the •appointraent of a stih-committee, to ingnire into the mode of collecting the rents, the mode of keeping the accounts, and tho general management of the markets. • The sub-committee reported that they had ex anined these various matters, and that "'they had gotten every assistance from the superintendants and other officials in the investigation of the and the committee made various suggestions as to the mode of collecting the tolls and rents, and other matters; whiff were since adopted. They found several tenants in arrears, and ordered immediate payment. Regarding these arrears his impressiOn was, that when this subject was brought before the council last month, that some very serious losses had accrued to the corporation funds in consequence of the neglect of these superinten dants and their officials in the markets. The gross income of the markets was something like £13,000 per annum. Now, he 'believed these arrears, upon which so much stress was laid on the last occasion, really did not exist. That such • a thing as loss of any importance had never been discovered. Re had taken the trouble to inquire from the auditor and others ; and from three years experience on the Markets' Committee, he was perhaps as well, if not better acquainted with the matter, than some of those who recommended this appointment. He would ask Mr. Bowring, or some other gentleman on the Markets' Committee, if any loss really had accrued. In 18.54 certain alterations were made in St. John's Market, which,. it was alleged, caused a great decrease in the revenue, and it was suggested that a reconstruction should take place. Thiswas quite right, as the council was a changing body, and so was the markets committee. The markets committee thought it right to make these alterations four years ago, and the council sactioned it. The effect of these alterations, Mr. Bowriug said, caused a loss of £.500 per annum to the corporate funds. It was because of the crowded state of Great Charlotte-street, that these alterations were made in order to give room for the country produce. He saw no objection to the stalls which were then removed being replaced, if the present com mittee thought they . could derive additional revenue by it. It 'did not require a general superintendent to remove the stalls, and -he did not see that it required a- general superintendant to replace them. (Hear; hear.) In reference to the differential rates in sheds and stalls considered to be of equal value, he begged to say that this would always be the case, they could not avoid it. Nor could the markets commiteee say, that because Mr. Luya, of St. John's market, was unfit for his duty, they, therefore, required a general superintendant. Mr. Kitchen seconded the motion. Mr. Stedins said, the course which Mr..Farnworth asked them to pursue seemed to him to be somewhat irregular and invidous in asking them to reconsider a decision come to so lately as the last month. He had listened in vain for any new argument in the speech of Mr. Farnworth. A speech more bold in argument, and more destitute of any additional information on the subject could not be put together. He had read extracts from a report of which they were all previeusly acquainted. It was notorious that the whole system on which their markets were conducted was faulty. .(Hear, hear.) The whole system was rotten to• the very core. He would not stop to inquire whether this opinion was right or wrongly founded, but, looking at. the gentlemen who composed the markets committee, he thought they were as anxious to do their duty as economically and as faithfully as other committees. And when it was considered that they appointed a sub comnaittee - to inquire into the state of the mar kets, that sub-committee reporting to the general committee, and. the general committee recommending to the council, and then the council adopting that recom mendation, he thought this was quite sufficient. (Hear, hear.) He thought it would lead to great inconveniences if members were to keep asking the council to rescind a resolution which they had just passed at the previous meeting. There might be a small meeting, and with • a judicious use of the " whip" the decision would be reversed. He thought, at all events, g entlemen who took such a course were bound to bring forward some new arguments to induce the council to take such a course ; and he had listened in vain for . that. He would feel it his duty to support the decision of the council. Mr. Bowring said, he thought it was right, as his name had been mentioned, to say a few words : When he saw that notice of motion put upon the books, he certainly did expect that some new, arguments would have been brought in opposition to the course which had been adopted by the markets committee and by the council. But the speech of Mr. Farnworth was a com plete rehash, if lie might use the term, of the whole arguments that _had been brought before the council at the last meeting. A complete turning over again and again of the old thinp until they were quite surfeited of them. He thought it was a misnomer to call them arguments, because he thought there was no argu ment in it. He protested against -a ich waste of the time of the council by Mr. Farnworth, an old member of the council,, from whom he would have expected better. Mr. Farnworth was mistaken as to the appropriation of that part of St. John's Market which had been altered. It was now 'appropriated with large packagesoef American apples, &c.; and, in fact, made a complete storehouse of it. That portion originally pro duced. £654 per annum to the corporation, and now it only produced £155, leaving a loss of £469. This was a broad fact, which he .defied Mr. Farnworth to gainsay. It was a fact which spoke volumes as to the inefficiency of the management of the markets. He believed the appointment would be most economical. They would then not be obliged to pay so much to the present superintendent of St. John's Market, where, as the central market, most of the general superintendent's time would be spent. They might reduce the wages of the present superintendent £lOO a year, and they would thus reduce their extra outlay to £2OO. The income of St. John's market was now some thing between seven and eight thousand a year, and he would be disappointed if it did not extend to between nine and ten thousand a • year by the new arrangement. He would ask the council to • have faith in the present Markets' Committee—to have faith in those men who were being brought into contact with these markets, and who knew their wants, and who were seeking to produce girder out of disorder, and to replace incapacity and inefficiency by eiorgy and ability. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman Parker opposed the appointment, and in doing so, said he considered the proposition so monstrous, thathe did not see how any person could support it. He denied that it would be attended with economy, but asserted that it would be more expensive. It was also unjust to the present superintendants. There had *ever been any com plaints made against them. Then why remove them'? He trusted that, the council would not impose a burden of £2OO per annum upon the Corporation estate by making such an appointment, but would reject ;t by a large majority. Mr. Job said he was ready to confess that he gave•a, reluctant vote at the last meetneg, and, if he had not had the utmost confidence in favour of the committee; he should k.ave voted against it, because he did not think that they had made out a strong case. Haling supported the cern mittee on a former occasion, he should do so at preseut, and vote for it as a matter of expediency, in order that the committee might carry out their own views. He hoped that they might be right, and that the appointment might prove a saving to the corporate estate. Mr. Jeffery rose amidst cries of " vote, vote," and said, at the last meeting, he had voted for the appointment, and he was wistful to say a few words in justification of that vote. Ile could assure the council that, when he heard that there was no general superiattendant to the markets, he felt greatly surprised. Now, they had ,no less than ten markets, virtually eight, and they were aot governed by their own superintendent. , Re would ask who was responsible for the well conducting of these •markets, was it the committee or was it the chairman of the committee? It was evident the responsibility must rest somewhere. It could not be the chairman of the ,eoromittee, for he was only the axletree on which the wheel revolved ; then as such was the case, he contended that there should be only one superintendent to all the markets, aad that that one superintendent should be responsible to the committee, the sam e as in all large private establishments. • Mr., Alderman Bennett exressed his regret that he had not been present at the last meeting to have given his oppositi on to the decision that was ,rived at; but, very Unusually turn for hi m , h e h a d b een called aN7ray, and did not return until it wa s t oo l ate to record h i s vote. . He denied that th e appoi n t ment of all the markets would of and then there . Inspector a general superintendent supervision, as h e . i the other, have the desired effect of a gvneral have to travel from one marker to a complaint to, nor would would be no person to make was, so that if he liked to do his duty, he could, and if not there was lira eohlitel over liim. He contended that it would be more radvisAle, if any charge was reiuired, that they should apptit an efficient man to each market, and so have Et thtirt.ugh control; but by the appointment of one over the Whole, that could not 'be. He concluded by ex pressing a hope that the eVancil would support Mr. Farnworth's motion by a large majority. Mt. Gladstone admitted that it was always open to any Member of the Council, to dispute any measure carried by Om Council, and if he conscientiously believed that anything wrong had been done, to move that it be annihilated. He, therefore, did not complain of the course adopted upon the present occasion, although he was a little surprised at the source from which the opposition had proceeded ; for he remembered that Mr. Farnworth was some time a member of the markets' committee, and a very regular attendant there, taking very great interest, especially in matters of finance, and who always joined in the expression of regret that the system of management was, it not rotten, grossly defective. . Nothing • could be . more necessary, Mr. Gladstone 'contended, than that the markets Committee should have united. in one person, as in the head of their police force, the power, the will, the superiority of education, and the energy to grapple with the difficulties inseparable from the present cond'tion of the management of the markets. He denied that there had been one single rational argument, or one idea suggested that day, which conld by any possibility lead the coancil to decide upon the rejection of the proposal which had been adopted by them as a correct, desirable, and economical proceeding. The orders given by the committee would meet with a much more speedy execution if they were given to one man. The difficulty they had at present arose , in a great measure from the fact that there were three superintmdents in existence. It had been said that day that the committee ought to see that their instructions were carried into effect. Would not this be more easily effected if the committee could. impart their instructions to one officer instead of three ? and were not the odds and , chances - that their instructions would not be faithfully carried out, as three to one, while they had three superintendents instead of one ? In replying to the arguments used in favour of Mr. Farnworth's motion, Mr. Gladstone referred to the remarks of Mr. Alderman Parker, and took occasion to remark that the sooner the aldermen of the council appealed to the test of popular representation—the sooner they were put upon the public hustings—the sooner they were called upon to make a public expression of their 'faith —and the sooner the dis covery was made that, in proportion as progress was going forward, they were receding in a retrograding direction, the better would it be for the community. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) [Mr. Gladstone was proceeding with his remarks, when some interruption appeared to take place, and he stopped, declaring that if vulgar interruptions of that kind was allowed, the council never could maintain its respectability.] Mr. Alderman Parker : I should like to know what Mr. Gladstone means by vulgar interruption. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gladstone : Any man who interrupts me as I have just been interrupted is guilty of vulgarity, Mr. Parker : I did not interrupt you, sir. • Mr. Gladstone : I did not charge you, sir. Mr. Alderman Bennett: Oh, Mr. Mayor, this excitement is very unseemely. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gladstone : Let those who make complaints of what is unseemly take care how they throw the first stone. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gladstone then at considerable length argued in favour of the recommendation of the committee, which he declared was brought forward after the fullest consideration, and was founded upon the truest principles of economy and honesty. Mr. , Ald j erinan Holme said he should not have spoken upon this question at all, if it were not that, during the very vehement speech which had just been uttered, there had been imported into the debate an attack upon a body of gentle men the equals of Mr. Gladstone in intelligence, his equals in position, and his equals in everything which could make men valuable as public men. (Hear, hear, and applause.) That was not the first time that the aldermen of Liverpool had been twitted with being in that council in opposition to the spirit of the constitution. They were there—as Mr. Evans stated before a committee of the House of Commons, when twitted with being an alderman—as the elect of the elected. (Hear, hear.) When Mr. Gladstone said he (Mr. Holme) and others, ought to test popular election, he could reply that he had tested popular election in no less than three wards of the town, and that upon two of those oc casions he had been returned almost without a contest. He never was, or would be, wanting in readiness to make a confession of his faith, and to avail himself -of the • privileges of . speech, which the constitution gave him. It was bad taste of Mr. Glad stone to be constantly attacking the aldermen, because any reflection upon them must rest upon the whole council, and upon Mr. Gladstone himself, who elected them. Mr. Glad stone ought to have objected at the time the aldermen were chosen, or to have used his legitimate and powerful influ ence to obtain an alteration of act of parliament. He (i Ir. liolme) begged to say, on behalf of himself and of other aldermen, that they entered the council in a spirit of as perfect independence as Mr. Gladstone did himself. (Hear, hear.) If he (Mr.•Holme) were desirous of remain ing in the council, he should have no hesitation in saying he should be glad of an opportunity of again testing popular election. (Hear, hear) The aldermen were in that council in a spirit of as perfect independence as the gentleman who made the remarks they had just heard, and which reflected no credit upon his judgment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Holm then proceeded to arzue in support of Mr. Farn worth's motion, and against the recommendation of the committee. He declared that he could see no reason why, if one superintendant were necessary for the markets, the baths' committee might not demand with equal justice, one superintendant for the baths (Hear, hear.) If the present superintendants of several markets were not able to discharge their duties properly, let them be sent to the right about. (Cries of hear, hear.) In concluding his remarks, Mr. Holme declared that he would vote against an appoint ment, which appeared to smell very much like a job. (Hear, hear, no, no, and cries of order.) Mr. Alderman Turner said, he felt great regret that Mr. Gladstone had thrown out some personal remarks against the whole body of aldermen. Mr. Gladstone : I threw out no personal remarks. I objected to the system. - Mr. Turner said it was unworthy of the council to throw out such insinuations, which were as unmerited as they were uncalled for. (Hear, hear.) *He had not the slightest objection to have any vote which he had given during the last eighteen years tested by those which Mr. Gladstone had given, and he believed it would be found that his votes were given as conscientiously, and as much to the benefit of the inhabitants of Liverpool, as those given by any other member of the council. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Sheil said, he was sorry to hear that anything personal had been said. He would ask the gentleman who had dwelt on personalities to tedium how he could have the temerity to accuse the markets' committee of perpetrating a job. He had never heard a more outrageous insult perpe trated, and he wished to know who was meant or to whom the remark was applied. No such thing had ever been done, and the person who mentioned it must have taken it from his own mind. Ile said that for the purpose of defending himself and others against the base attack which had-been made on the committee of which he was a member. The question was ohe of finance, and they were bound to look to it with mature consideration. With repect to what Mr. Farnworth had said about being astonished at the markets committee, it was not necessary to reply to as it would be going over what had been already said ; but when he was first elected a member of the markets com mittee, the conviction was established in his mind that a superintendant was wanted. He spoke to several members of the committee, and all attn. ed to what he said. The council must rely, to a great extent, on the honesty of the members of the committee in reeeiwing a recommendation ; and then again they were to rely on the soundness of the judgment of the committee; and then it would be seen that it was the duty of the council to adopt the resolution. Mr. Stuart said lie was very sorry to hear that members of the council were casting imputations on each other in discussing the question. If any one took a different view from another, let him hold his view, as he held his. He did not hold the same view with the committee, but be hoped he would be allowed to take that view without im peaching.their right-mindedness. Mr. Ridley said, he would never sit quiet, as a member of the markets' committee and hear Mr. Holme tell the committee that their proceedings were smelling of jobbery. Mr. Holme : I am not infallible ; and if the word "jobbery" fell from me, it was because I was heated, and that it looked like it at the time. I will withdraw the statement. Several members made a few observations on the o• subject, tuisin out of what had been said, and in which there was nothing new, after which Mr. Farnworth said, he thought it necessary to say a few words in explanation ; and first, when he brought the matter before the council, he had no idea of making a speech, but simply to brillg it before the council for consideration, and he was still of same opinion that he was when he proposed that the resolution should be . seconded. When it was brought up before, he voted against the proposition. He hoped that they would feel it to be their duty to vote for the resolution which he had moved. He would never shrink from that course which he believed to be his duty. (Applause.) On the motion beine , put, the recommendation of the committee was lost by 31 to 16.

The memorial wad referred to the markets committee EDUCATION CONLMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read and coaiiirmed without comment. ROUSE or CORRECTION COMMITTEE The proceedings of this committee were also read and mfirmed without comment. LIBRARY AND :SIUSEUM COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were confirmed. ' THE WATER COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read. Mr. Hodson said, in moving the confirmation of the proceedings 'of this • committee, he had only one matter specially to refer to, and • that was, that time ago Mr. Earle moved that, when the reservoirs were full, the inhabitants should be supplied with the Rivington water. All he had to say was, that at the present time:the reservoirs were full, and this is a good season of the year to try the experiment, and it was the unanimous wish of the committee. that it should. be done. For his own part, he would not give an opinion on the matter, but would leave the matter in the hands of the council. Mr. Cooper begged to second the motion. Mr. Parker had stated that the reservoirs were not full, and that they never ,would ,be full, Now he had the pleasure of telling Mr. Parker that he had himself seen them full, even full-to overflowing ; and the chairman of the committee himself says that they are full. The proceedings were then confirmed, Mr. Bennett observing that he supposed the month's trial of the Rivington water would at once be proceeded with. Mr. Ryley moved that such should be the case. It had been decided that as soon as the reservoirs were full the experiment should be tried, and as they were then full he could see no objection. - Mr. Jeffery said he did not think the chairman of the committee had pat the motion before the council as he should have done, and if the chairman would permit him, he would offer a correction. At the last meetitr , of the committee, it was unanimously agreed that the council should be asked permission to have the pumping stopped for one month, and that the town should be supplied with the Riviugton water for one month. Mr. Cooper had said he had seen the reservoirs full and overflowing. Mr. Cooper : I saw them full. Mr. Jeffery uOderstood that he had seen them over flowing. The resevoirs were full, and the committee thought that this was .a proper time to try the experiment, and for this great reason—for the object of testing the supply of the water for the borough, and whether the people would be satisfied with it in its entire state, and the Second great object was one of finance. If the inhabitants will be satisfied with the unmixed water, the committee will be able to save, according to Mr. Oxley's plan, £13,000 per annum . If that can be saved, it will materially reduce the deficiency of last year, which was £23,000: it would reduce it to £lO,OOO, which the increased trade, and other causes, might soon make up the deficiency of last year. Therefore, on the ground of testing the working, and on the ground of finance, he asked the council to give their sanction to having the pumping stopped during that period. Mr. Farnwortli: Am I to understand that the request has been made by the committee, that the Rivington water should be supplied for one month ? Mr. Hodson : Ye s . Mr. Farnworth : And that it is the unanimous wish of the committee. Mr. Hodson : Yes. Mr. Farnworth said that he was quite well aware that there was not a member of the committee, who thought that the Rivington water would give satisfaction to the in habitants, and as they had got th wells, they had been paid for by the corporation, he did not see why the experiment should be tried for even a month. He was quite sure that if the works were individual property, they would not act so. He then directed the attention of the council to a resolution passed in the month of October last, stating- that by a better system of filtration, the colour of the-water would be improved, and asked if any steps had been taken in that report. If that was not the case then he should protest against the Rivington water being tried, and should certainly vote against it. Mr. Alderman Parker urged that the committee should revise their rates of charge, and suggested that, in some cases, they might charge as the gas company did, by metre. Mr. Earle said, with regard to the supply to th e t own entirely from Rivington, he had a little suspicion, on account of the quarter whence the movement came. If the town were supplied entirely by Rivington Water, it might give rise to some cavil about it not being good water, &e. The people were satisfied at present if they let them alone. (Hear, hear.) He, personally, had no objections to using the Rivington water unmixed. Mr. Ryley said, as a matter of explanation, it was him that the matter originated with. Mr. Crellin begged leave to tell Mr. Jeffery that the com- mittee, on Mondai, were not exactly unanimous. He, for one, objected to the water being let into the town in its present state from Riyington. Ile suggested that it should be tried at some future day, and not at present. The town was per fectly satisfied with the quality of the water now, and he saw no reason why they should adopt the plan suggested by Mr. Jeffery. Mr. Jefferisaid, it was quite true that Mr. Crellin did make a suggestion, bnt he did not divide the committee. He made no objection. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Bennett said that, fearing something migh t arise, he put the question to the chai rman w h e th er they were unanimous, and die chairman replied that they were. He urged that there never was a better time than the present for testing the Rivington water. Their reservoirs were all full, their filtering beds all in good order, and the season was most appropriate. It would be a great saving, as Mr. Jeffery had stated, and their finance wanted economising, their expenditure being largely over their income. He, for one, would be delighted to find that the Rivington water was supported by the people of Liverpool. He trusted the Council would have that con fidence in their own bantling, as to let it walk by itself for one month. Mr. Hodson, in replying, expressed his satisfaction at Mr. Bennett's admitting that the works were all in such good condition. As far as his own opinion went, Mr. Hodson declared he would rather they were al lowed to go on as at present until they had brought the water to a higher degree of perfection ; but as there was a strong desire expressed by many mem bers, he should not object to the trial being made. If a fair trial were given to the water, without prejudice or passion, it would be found a good domestic water. If the inhabitants expected to find it as bright in colour as the water which percolated through sandstone, they would be disappointed ; but' if it were looked upn as an excellent soft water for commercial purposes, and also a healthy water, he had no doubt it would give very general satisfaction. The Council divided on the motion, when there appeared For : Aldermen Bennett, Parker, Gardner. Councillors Stitt, Sheil, Shimmin, Corbally, Haydock, Barton, Ryley, Avison, Bowring, W. P. Jeffreys, Rogers, Gladstone, J. R. Jeffery, Kitchen, Hodson, Vernon-19. , Against : The Mayor, Aldermen Bold, Dover, Cooper, Houghton, Holme. Councillors Anderson, Crellin, Steains, Ridley, Shand, Job, Earle, Hutchison, Johnson, Clint, Aikin, Stewart, Fain worth, A n th on y —2O. The motion was therefore negatived. . The other proceedings •of the water committee were confirmed. The proceedings of the baths' committee were confirmed. The amount of expenses to be reimbursed to the town clerk (L 212) was ordered to be paid, and the accounts divided among the several townships. The Coroner's account, amounting to £3O 3s, was passed. A letter from Mr. J. Morrison, clerk in the building surveyor's office, asking for increase of salary, was referred to the finance committee. A letter was read from the Association for the Abolition of the Doty upon Fire Assurances, praying the council to aid them in their efforts towards the repeal, or at least the equitable adjustment of the duty on fire assurances. The letter was referred to the finance committee. A memorial was read from the St. Chrysostom's Working Men's Association, praying for the establishment of public baths, or at least of a plunge bath, in the district of Everton. Mr. Alderman Cooper moved that the memorial be referred to the baths' committee, and observed that they had a ps'.ece of land in Everton, which he thought they might apply to that purpose. _ _ _ Mr. Anderson seconded the motion, and strongly advocated the object of the memorial. _ The motion was unanimously carried. A presentment from the Grand Jury of the:Quarter Sessions, declaring certain premises in Gascoigne-street, Cleveland-square, and Argyle-street, to be in a dangerous, and delapitated condition, was referred to the finance com mittee. The usual permission was given to the Recorder, upOn his application, to hold a second Sessions court, tke first week in the ensuing month. The next busine; was a motion, of which Mr. Aikin had given notice, as follows :—" To rescind so much of a roc lution of the council of the 9th of November, 1858, ast empowers the finance committee to grant licenses for using weighing machines in the borough, and to move that the power to grant all such licenses be vested in the watch committee." Ur, Aikin explained, that the resolution was merely a formal one to rectify a mistake made in the arrangement for the granting of licenses. - The motion was unanimously adopted. The council then rose shortly after four o'clock. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening. There has been no abatement in, the activity of the Liverpool Cotton Market, and a large business . has again been done at full prices, the sales reaching 12,000 bales, of which about a fourth were taken for speculation and export. The Produce Mar lets have again been quiet, and very_ few transactions have been reported in any article. The improvement noticed in the Liverpool Share 1 Market continues, and to=day there has been a good business done at improved prices. The sales were :- Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire, 63 ; Cale donian, 851 ; Eastern Counties, 121 ; East Lan cashire, 931 - ; Great Western, 571 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 951, 94, 951, 954, 954, 951, 95'4 ; Lon don and North Western, 951, 95 : 4, 95%, 951, 954, 951 ; ditto one-eigth shares; 13-6 d ; Midland, 1004, 1002, 1001 •, North Eastern-Berwick Stock, 921, 921, 921 ; York Capital Stock, 771 ; St. Helen's Railway and Canal A, 881 ; South Eastern, 21- 1 ; ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 8 9-16, 84-, 8 9-16, 84, 8 15-16, 84 ; Great Luxembourg, 6 15-16, 64; Great Western of Canada new, 41 d ; Lombardo- Venetian, 11 p ; Rec.. and San Francisco, 7-16 d; St. Helen's Railway and Canal, 41 per cent E, 991.

At the opening of the London Stock Exchange this morning, the quotations- for Consols and other public securities were barely so firm as at the close" of yesterday, but the tenor of the continental news being still of a peaceful character, they subsesquently again improved, and at noon the Consols stood at 954 to 96, and they kept steady and firm at this point until the final close. The London . Share Market was not as active as - yesterday, and the buoyancy in prices gave way at the opening, and throughout the day there was very little variation. Prices closed as follows :- 0 Ambercrate, 6, 61 ; Caledonian, 85, 851 ; Ditto Preference, 103, 105 ; Eastern Counties, 60, 61 • East Lancashire, 93, 94 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 71, 72; Great Northern, 103, 1034; Do.

The attendance at the London Wool Sales, this afterdoon, was moderate, and the biddings toler ably steady, sustaining former prices with great regularity. The stoppage of electric communication between Malta and Cagliari will cause a delay of about three days in the receipt of Indian, Chinese, and Austra lian intelligence in London. In the ordinary . course news is telegraphed from Malta on the arrival of the mail steamers from Alexandria. An immense rebound has taken place in Austrian securities in all the Continental markets. At Vienna, on Friday last, the Five per Cent. Metalliques were quoted 71.40, and on Monday afternoon 75 to 751, showing a rise of about 4 per cent. The exchange on London was quoted last Friday 112.50, and yes terday 106 to 106;—a difference of 6 per cent. The demand for Money in commercial channels yesterday was more active, many of the dealers them selves running short, and few transactions took place, even in choice bills, below 21 per cent. The appli cations at the bank are still moderate, but are ex pected to increase as the month draws on, the accumulation of • government deposits in that establishment being now very large. An instalment of 20 per cent. falls due on the Chillian Loan of 1,554,800/. on Tuesday next. The balance remaining to be paid will then then be 22 per cent. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.—Lancashire and Yorkshire, 24,344/. ; increase, 3,833/. Manchester and Sheffield, 10,001/. ; increase, 1,332/, London and North Western, 63,0231.; last year, 55,8241. ; increase, 7,199/. The resignation of Prince Napoleon caused the Funds this morning to open with a firm appearance, at an advance of i t per cent. ; although the partisans of that personage announce that his retirement will rule but temporally, and that the Emperor still cordially approves his policy of promising the support of France to Piedmont, in case troubles should break out, in the Italian Duchies. Late in the day the operations for the arrangement of the settle ment, led to a further improvement. The scarcity of stock continues to have a great effect in stimulating every upward movement. The shipments of silver for Bombay, on the 12th, are expected to be over £300,000. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Avon will take out to-morrow £85,867 in specie for Brazil, of which £43,367 is gold, and the rest silver. It is understood that the project for the National Bank of Turkey will be introduced forthwith, and the shares are nominally quoted at a premium.—Times City Article, Tuesday Evening. A fresh stimulus was given to the Stock Market, this morning by the official announcement that Prince Napoleon, whose warlike sympathies are notorious, has quitted the French Cabinet, news of a further improvement at the com mencement of business on the Paris Bourse, and of the prevalence of extraordinary excitement in all the Stock Markets of the Continent. The partial reaction on the Paris Bourse not being known here until after the close of the Stock Exchange, the English Funds left off at almost the best point of the day, and nearly per cent. higher than yesterday. An immense rebound has taken place in Austrian securities in all the continental markets. At Vienna, on Monday, the Five per Cents. were 75 to 751, showing a rise of about 4 per cent. since Friday. On 'Change, this afternoon, the principal feature was an extra ordinary_ fall in the Exchange on Austria. Last Friday bills on Vienna were quoted about 12 per cent higher than on the Ist January. This afternoon the quotation shews a fall of nearly 7 per cent. since Friday. The rates for paper on Frankfort and Hamburgh were quoted rather less favourably for this country. About £12,000 of the gold by the Red Jacket was taken to-day to the Bank. The rest has been purchased for exportation.— Daily News City Article, Tuesday Evening. YESTERDAY'S MARKETS.
