MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL, LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING The total business done in Cotton this week has been 38,880 bales ; of which 7,770 have been taken on speculation, and 3,210 for export. The market throughout has been tolerably steady, and prices are the same as on this day week. The Liverpool Share Market opened this morning with some firmness, and' continued to improve throughout the day, closing at the follow ing prices :—Aberdeen, 13 13/. Chester and Birkenhead, 151 16.

We quote the following report of the Tallow Market from the circular of Mr. F. J. Eaton : Small sales of Petersburg Y.C. are reported at 48s to 49s per cwt, 150 hhds N. American, at 45s 9d to 46s for middling, and 49s for fine, and a few lots of E. I. at 40s to 44s per cwt. The London market again shows symptoms of depression, although the deliveries still keep large; the closing prices yesterday were 45s 9d to 46s spot, and 45s to 45s 3d per cwt for Oct. and Dec. The half week delivery is 1,706 casks, against 806 casks last year, and the stock on the 12,h was 16,607 casks, against 40,843 casks in 1855. We have advices frOin Akyab to the 27th of March, and quote the following trade report from Messrs. Wienholt, Mohr, & Co.'s circular:— Since our report of the 10th inst., we received on the 13th inst. the Overland Mail of the 26th January, and, on the 17th, later advices up to the Bth February via Bombay per tele graph up to Calcutta, and thence, per steamer, both mails reporting falling markets of grain in consequence of the pro bability of peace. It was expected that such news would be accompanied by withdrawals of ships and orders to a considerable extent ; this, however, has not been the case, and, out of the arrivals since last mail, only two vessels have left Belfast. Cholera has been very prevalent in our province, and particularly in Akyab, this season, and the encreasing epidemic has created such a panic amongst the natives, that the labourers—coolies, from Chissagang and the coast, who make a temporary stay here, during the season, in search of work—are leaving by thousands. The work, in some of the storehouses of our shippers, has, consequently, come to a stand still, and the large stocks of paddy, in the interior, cannot be unhusked for want of hands. Arrivals, of rice, therefore, have been very small latterly, the little coming to market is of inferior quality, contains a larger per tentage of paddy, and is not near enough to satisfy the demand for the amount of tonnage waiting for cargo. This caused prices which ruled at from 61 to 64 rupees on the departure of last mail, to pursue an upward tendency, and, during the last week, 63 to 65 rupees (equal to 7s 5d to 7s 8d free on board) have been the ruling rates. We have not to report such heavy arrivals of ships as by last mail, and, as but very little tonnage is expected in April or May, as compared with last year, exports will fall short of last season, and a con siderable stock of paddy will remain on hand. Advices have come to hand from New York, per Arago steamship, dated the 3rd instant. In the Stock Market some large sales had occasioned heaviness in railway securities, and the Money Market was not so easy as it had been at the close of April. The shipments of specie during that month had decreased more than one million dollars, whila an increase of nearly the same amount had occurred in the shipments of do mestic produce. The total imports into the port of New York for April, 1856, amounted to 20,057,835 dols, against 9,107,465 dols in 1855; and the totals from the Ist of January were respectively 71,929,140 dols, and 44,307,831 (lois ; and the exports 31,431,017 dols and 29,407,513 dols. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid of the 15th instant, states that the capital of the General Credit Company of Spain, has been officially veri fied and constituted by the delegate of the Spanish government. This company are to lend twenty millions of reals to the government, and a general meeting of shareholders is called far the 29th inst., to take these matters into consideration.

The Funds to-day showed continued buoyancy, and closed at a further advance of j per cent, the closing prices being quoted at 94 94k. This rise was in face of a general demand for money to meet the ten per cent deposit on applications for the new loan. In the Stock Exchange the rate for short loans on government securities averaged six to seven per cent. In Lombard-street, and elsewhere, the pressure was considerable, and this afternoon the supply of money was exceedingly small, This circumstance is not surprising, considering the magnitude of the subscriptions which are known to amount to many times the sum required by G-overnment. In fact, the prospect of a heavy subscription seems to have induced each applicant to write for as large an amount as possible. Thus, for instance, parties desirous of obtaining 10,0001. stock in the new loan apply for 50,0001 or 60,0001., or even more. All parties concerned in monetary affairs will now look with impatience for the release of the surplus deposits, which will doubtless be effected as speedy as possible after the adjudication of the loan on Monday morning. At Paris to-day the Three-per-Cent. Rentes closed at a rise of an or per cent.

Lord Panmire, Minister of War , has b een s p endi ng a few days at the residence of Mr. 'Whitworth, engineer, the Firs, near Manchester. On Wednesday his lordship visited Peel-park and the races, and dined afterwards with Mr. Whitworth, the Mayor of Manchester, and a few of the leading citizens, at the Firs. On Thursday, his lord ship was to witness some experiments with Mr. Whit worth'd new field piece. Lord Hardinge, tho Commander— in -Chief, visited Mr. Whitworth some day's ago for a similar purpose. There is no doubt that this new inven tion in gunnery is destined to achieve results hitherto unheard of in field artillery.

For particulars apply to _ OSBORNE, MAY 15.—The Queen and Prince and Royal Family walked and drove in the grounds at Osborne yesterday. IMPROVEMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—THE EAST TERRACE.—The absence of her Majesty from Windsor Castle, causes great activity in the works connected with the various improvements now in progress. The east terrace of the castle may be particularly mentioned as one of the works, from the circumstance of its being paved with Seyssel asphalte of pyrimont. This asphalte has been used upon the roofs and other portions of the castle, and is said to answer the purpose admirably. Some years back the royal kennels were paved with it, and are now in excellent condition.— Windsor Express. DINNER TO HER MAJESTY'S JUDGES AT THE MANSION HOUSE.—The banquet proposed to be given by the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress on Tuesday, the 27th inst., to her Majesty's judges and the members of the bar, is unavoidably postponed to the following day. Loup JOHN RUSSELL AT STROUD.—On Thursday night, Lord John Russell, taking advantage of the Whitsuntide holidays, delivered his promised lecture to the " Stroud Mutual Improvement Society," on the '• Study of His tory," and the large subscription room and galleries were crowded to excess, by persons of all ranks and J. &M. HARNETT, Brokers, I both sexes. EVENING EDITION or An Evening Edition of the NORTHERN DAILY Timms is now Published every Afternoon, at Three o'clock, containing the Markets, together with all the News of the Day, up to the hour of going to Press. TRU ANNUAL ►SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES is TWO GUINEAS rER ANNUM. SATURDAY, MA Y 17, 1866 THE terms on which the Government have offered their new 5,000,000/. loan show the urgency of the demands on the Treasury, and the dread the Ministry have of approaching the money market for anything like the le g itimate amou nt of assistance the State requires in a difficulty, such as w ar m oment of extraordinary and other human calamities leave after them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admits that he wants 7,000,0001. to carry him over the fiscal year, and yet he dare not venture to draw on a restricted money power and stringent money market for more than 5,000,0001., leaving the balance of 2,000,000/ only to a chapter of chances. This is one of the most powerful illustrations we could have of the political defects of our present money laws. They cannot be relied on for the defence of the country or the material advancement of the Empire. The utmost the Cabinet of the day can obtain at any moment is a paltry and inadequate loan at exorbit ant rates of interest. The forthcoming Three Per Cent. Stocks will not be taken at less than 31- to :3.1 per cent. interest, with a large bonus in the shape of Acerued and accruing dividends. How much more oppressive and injurious then must those laws, which are so impotent and usurious when resorted to for State purposes, be when resorted to by the subject individually ! The manner in which a loan of so small an amount is spread in little instalments over no less than four months, is the most convincing proof we can have of the feebleness of that monetary system on which the greatness and prosperity of this mighty nation depend for existence. Great credit is due to those who have considered our monetary weakness, and shaped the wants of the State to the smallness of our money institutions. They desire to preserve, or, possibly, to lower the present rate of discount, but they will find they are doomed to disappointment. Within thirty-seven days from the 22nd inst. they will draw on the money market for 2,500,0001., and on the tax-payer from the sth of January for the interest of the amount of stock which that sum represents. Between the 28th of June and some day in. September they will draw for the principal on the like sums, while they reserve a further draft of 2,000,0001. in the shape of Exchequer Bonds for the gloomy month of Novem ber, probably ! With:these certainties, added to the uncertainties with regard to cotton, corn, and sugar crops, who will venture to say that money for commercial purposes will be cheaper, or as low as it is now, for the next six months ? For political purposes it is broadly asserted that the money market will improve, but all prudent men will wait until an actual change in favour of trade has taken place. The man who would suffer himself to be drawn into heavy engagements in the present state of the discount market, would scarcely be entitled to the name of a merchant. The continuance of the rates of interest now demanded for accommodation, must depress prices, and the ordeal of wholesale depreciation must be gone through in obedience to the Bank Charter Act, before gold will flow back to Threadneedle-street. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER speaks confidently with respect to the Government requiring only 7,000,0001. to carry them into the first quarter of 1857. But, while he adds that that sum would cover the entire esti mated expenditure which was now before the public, for the present year, he says :—" It would be for " the discretion of the Government whether they " would require any contingent vote for any addi " tional expenditure that might take place." There is no trifling degree of ambiguity in this portion of the right honourable gentleman's speech. The "discretion of the Government" must be ruled by the wants of the Exchequer ; and, until we know what the estimated income for the year is, it would be impossible to say what their require ments will be. Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS admits that it is as difficult to estimate the cost of bringing home troops as it is to calculate the expenses of war; and, since he made no allusion to the imme diate reduction of our armed forces, the public must wait patiently for his financial statement, in which the sources, and probable amount of revenue on which he relies, are set forth, before any definite opinion can be formed of the future state of the money market. Meanwhile, we know from experience that the entire policy of the present Cabinet is Bearish, notwithstanding a Bullish colouring is given to the existing con dition of things. It, therefore, behoves the merchant to keep clear of shoals, whilst the trader is endeavouring to avoid rocks. Our financial, affairs are in anything but an encouraging state, and we know what follows the most petty fiscal embarrassments in these days of monetary insanity. THE IRISH RAILWAY FORGERlRS.—Yesterday Mr. Knight ing was brought up before the magistrates at the head police office, Dublin, under a writ of habeus corpus, when new evidence was opened. The magistrates (Messrs Magee and Porter), however, refused to take it, there being, in their opinion, suffieent evidence already re ceived in all the cases against the prisoner to warrant his committal. _The prisoner was accordingly committed for trial at the next commission held in Dublin, THE CRIMEAN MILITARY ENQUIRY.—The board met again this morning, when Commissary-General Filder made his statement in explanation and defence of the course he had adopted at Balaklava. Mr. Filder read a number of documents from which to show that the report of the Commissioners was incorrect in several important particulars. At its rising, the board intimated that it will sit again on Monday to hear the reply of the Hon. Colonel Gordon to a written statement respecting his evidence from Col• Tulloch. The board adjourned to Monday. SUDDEN DEATH.—A woman, named Maria Pullen, 44 years of age, was found dead in her bed in Peter's-lane yesterday morning. She had been ailing for some time past. Susincnous Cast.—The body of a new born child wa found at an early hour yester lay morning in Lydia Anne street ; the head of the infant was smashed in apparently by violence. COLLEGIATE INTITUTION.—Mr. Pellew Arthur, the masters exhibitioner, has recently been placed on the found ation of Trinity College, Cambridge, having been elected a full sizar in the course of his first year. Mr. J. S. Per cival has also obtained honours in the newly established Theological Tripos. AMERICAN MAILS.—The royal mail steamer Afrioa will sail this day for New York with the mails, Aze. Letters at General Post (Me up to half-past six will be in time in the ordinary course, and to half-past seven with fees. At the stage the box will be open to half-past eight o'clock a.m., for letters with late fees of one shilling. THE EXTINCT ANIMALS OP TIE ANCIENT WORLD.—A popu'ar course of two lectures upon this subject, rendered so interesting of late by the eloquent discourses of Professor Owen, is announced to be given at the Collegiate Institu tion, by B. Waterhouse Hawkins, Esq., under whose directions the monstrous restorations, now exhibiting at the Crystal Palace, were made. Fp-tn.—Yesterday afternoon, a fire broke out in a stable and hayloft, situate in Bridgewater-street, in the occupation of Mr. E. Okell, cart owner, and in a block maker's shop above, tenanted by Mr. William Brown- The engines, under Mr. Hewitt, from Temple Court, and Major Greig with a body of police were quickly on the spot. The conflagration was not got subdued until extensive damage had taken place. The cause of the outbreak is at present unknown, but we are happy to state that the premises are insured. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. I was enabled to inform you, some days back, that the French plenipotentiary in Vienna, and the Austrian plenipotentiary in this city, were to be promoted to the dignity of ambassadors. A decree, in the Moniteur of this morning, confers that dignity on Baron Bourqueney, the French Minister at Vienna, and the official journal announces that Baron Hubner, the Austrian Minister here, has obtained it from his govern ment. As it is a principle with the Papal See to give nothing for nothing. The Pope, it seems, asked, in return for his consenting to be godfather to the Imperial Prince, that, in France, religious marriages should be made obligatory, instead of, as at present, voluntary (civil marriages being only binding) and that the keep ing of the registries should be restored to the clergy. But the Emperor represented to the Pope that in the present temper of the French people, any such concession was entirely out of the ques tion. As, however, the Pope insisted on having something, it was decided, after a good deal of negotiation, that three new bishoprics in Franc e should be created, and if I am correctly informed, the government is now occupied in chalking out the division of them. In order to prevent any ill-natured comments, the French Emperor, I am informed, has induced the Prince Napoleon to postpone his departure for his long journey to the north, until a day or two after the baptism of the Imperial Prince. In the political circles the talk still is of the Anglo-Franco-Austrian treaty of the 15th April, and it is the belief of many persons that it either contains some secret articles, or that there exists another of a still more significant character. The telegraph announces the death of the Princess Paskiewitsch. BRAZILIAN MAIL. The steamer Avon arrived at Southampton yesterday, with the Brazilian and River Plate mails, and brought 145 passengers, £43,000 worth of diamonds, and £6,329 in specie. Her dates are—from Buenos Ayres, April 3; Monte Video, April 6; Rio Janeiro, April 15; Bahia, April 19; and Pernambuco, April 1. Among her pussengers are Watson Vredebur?h, Esq., her Majesty's Vice-Consul for Paraiba, and Randall Callender, Erq., her Majesty's Consul for St. Katherine's, and family. From Buenos Ayres we have advices to the 3rd of April. The all-important question of a national organisation remains in statu quo. From diplomatic correspondence it would appear that the gulf of separation between Buenos Ayres and the sister provinces of the confederation threatens to become wider and wider. No offensive movement has been undertaken against the Indians. The affairs respecting the Indians is the real cankerworm that press upon the vitals of the state, and blights all prospects, social and com mercial. The markets, in general, present a more animated and healthy appearance, and confidence is once more in the ascendant. Sugar, rice, coffee, and tea maintain high prices, sugar in particular has reached rates unknown except in times of blockade or siege. Coals, lumber, and building materials in general are plentiful, and in languid demand, with but little prospect of improvement. The export produce, with the exception of wool and jerked beef. The stocks on hand are barely adequate to meet pending con tracts. The news of a probable termination of the European war had deranged all calculations, and a temporary suspen sion of saladero operations appeared not unlikely. The actual course of the money market is in favour of the saladerista. Exchange on England is quoted at 65 and 66. Everything was perfectly tranquil at Rio. The cholera and yellow fever were prevalent, particularly amongst the shipping. Cholera and fever also existed at Bahia, but were decreasing at Pernambuco. St. Vincent's, Tenneriffe, and Madeira were healthy. The weather at Lisban was fine, and the town healthy. Exchange was quoted at 27/. The Avon's voyage was delayed by strong head winds. The Tamar, with the outward Brazil mails, left St. Vincent's on the 17th April. The following are the latest commercial reports : PERNAMBITCO.—The French steamer Cadix being expected here to-day from the Southern ports on her home passage, the present number is published for her. The import business since the date of our last number has again been more active than of late, especially of those goods previously received ; the arrivals during the last live days have been one vessel with codfish from Jersey, and another with salt from Trapani, which both proceeded southward ; one Teasel with wine from Spain ; one with codfish from Newfound land, and one with a general cargo from Havre. Sugar : The entries from the interior since the Ist of this month have been 38,400 bags ; prices are keeping up; we refer to our quotations for the rates paid. The only ship ment has been of 140 tons to the River Plate, making a total since Ist November last of 37,392 tons, consisting of 16,231 tons whites and 21,161 tons brown, and being an excess of 1,097 tons over those of same period last crop. Paraiba and Maceio Sugars : We hear of small purchases of former's at 25500 and 25450 per arroba f. o. b. Cot ton; The entries, though a little more freely than of late, continue on a limited scale, having been 187 b ag s on ly since our last numb er , which have been bought up at from 55600 to 0000 per arroba for first- regular and selected. Stock for sale and shipment about 1,777 bags. Maceio and Paraiba Cottons :We hear of sales of latter's but the prices have not transpired. Hides : A sale is reported as having been made at 240 ra per lb, being a decrease for dry salted of about 8 per cent. on the highest price paid. Since Ist November last, 50,680 dry salted have been shipped, against 59,174 within same time 1854 to 1855. Rum : We hear of no sales of moment. The total shipments since Ist November last, exceed those of same period 1854 to 1855, by 405 pipes. Freights : In our last number we mentioned that some cottoa had been engaged for the Imogene at 5/83 per lb, and 5 per cent. from Maceio, we find since that we had been misinformed, and that the freight is from to a d per lb. Vxchange : Some further amounts have been done at 27-id credit, and 271 d cash; we estimate the whole amounts transacted until now to be about £28,000, principally at 27;1 d. Discount s : Th e b ank rate still continues at ten per cent. per annum; money out of doors seems pretty scarce. RIO JANEIRO : An average amount Of b us i ness was trans acted during the month. The arrivals of articles of import were ample, of some articles excessive, the nips were gene rally to a fair extent, in some instances at lower prices. In coffee, which was dull early it the month, the transactions were later of importance ; of hides the market was nearly cleared. An average amount of business was done in freights. The money market was steady throughout the month, in which the amount of exchange negociatud was more than was anticipated. A large cpe4ulative business was done iu shares, APRIL 12.—COFFEE : Until the 7th, the united sales barely exceeded 14,000 bags at 5$ to 59150 for assortments. The intelligence per Avon was decidedly adverse, and since no transaction of moment has been reported, Prices, however remain unaltered, and while purchasers do not come forward at present quotations, the dealers are firm, in the conviction that supplies will yet awhile be limited, in consequence of the continuance of an unusually wet season, by means of which the roads in the interior are impassable. Sugar : Arrived 95 cases, 400 bags Campos, 2,100 bags Maceio, 1,400 bags Parnams. Except about 200 bags Maceio at 4sloo, nothing has been . Clone for eNportation. For consumption, have been taken 460 oases Campos at 39800 to 4$ and at 33100 to 39300, 4,000 bags Maceio at 33900 anl 3sloo, 1,100 bags Pernams at 4$ to 43450. Hides : Neither arrivals nor sales of any moment. Jerked Beef : Stock 22,000 arrobas Rio G;ande. Grande,. '7.5,000 River Plate, quoted at 43100 t o 43600. Freights i No charter has been reported. The continued high prices of Coffee have prevented business, and our quotations, although reduced, must be considered nominal. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. PERNAMBUCO, April 12 . —Arrived : Sitania, from New foundland. Bth —lthuriel, from Liverpool. April 1. —Bonita, from Liverpool. March 29,—Sailed ilaura, for Liverpool.

DEATHS PROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.—The borough coroner held the following Inquests on Thursday :--On the body of lgargt. Bell, aged 50, who resided at No. 6, Cavendish-street, and who was found dead in bed. She, it appeared, was given to exces sive drinking, and the jury found that death w as h astened by that habit.--On the body of William Black, a seaman, aged 37 years, who was also addicted to intemperate habits, and who had been found dead in bed. Verdict same as in the preceding ease.—On the body of Anne Griffiths, who resided in Plumbe-street.

Verdict accidental death. 1 THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING. The following is a report of Mr. A. C. Stewart's speech, delivered in the council on Wednesday, on the Borough Gaol land questipn, which we have hitherto been unable to publish, on accoient of the pressure upon our space : Mr. A. C. Stewart said : Mr. Mayor, there is an unfortu nate desire on the part of succeeding speakers, during discus sions in this room, to ascribe motives, or to give a tone to the remarks of those who have spoken before them, such as the author never intended them to bear, and which they are very much astonished to hear drawn from them. I say unfortunate propensity, because it interferes very much with the order of debate, and takes up the time of the Council with extraneous matter, and this propensity is displayed in three different ways ; first, when an honourable man feels himself misrepresented, or attacked, which seldom happens, he is bound to repel such attacks indignantly; but unfortunately the other two modes are more frequently resorted to. The egotist, and lam sorry to say egotism is very largely displayed in some of us, cannot withstand the glorious opportunity for self laudation, and breaks forth in a rhapsody of his own honour, and his purity, and so forth, and those who have a weak cause, like special pleaders before a jury, seize upon the smallest slip, and endeavour with all their ability to draw away those who have to decide and vote from the real issue, and sometimes save their party from a defeat very richly merited. A great deal of this sort of thing was imported into the debate on a previous day—with regard, for instance, to Mr. Hodson's speech, a worthy alderman felt it his duty to say that he stood there in stern defiance of Mr. Hodson and public opinion, when all that Mr. Hodson meant was simply this, that the best of men, are but men at the best, and that the opinions of au individual of divided responsibility, however honest, should be taken with caution. But I tell that gentleman, that if be stands here in stern defiance of public opinion, he has no right to stand here at all, we are a popularly elected body, sent here for the pur pose of representing the public opinion of the borough, and it is our duty to consult and follow public opinion wherever we can clearly discern it, unless our private convictions are decidedly opposed to it. Then, again, the chairman of the finance committee, for whom I have a high respect, a gentle man who has had a long career of popularity and only because he deserved it, was very inconsistent. Ile said this was merely a proposition of the finance committee brought before the council for discussion. Now, Mr. Mayor, this implies that we had the right to discuss it. If we had the right to discuss it, we have the right to reject it; but at a subsequent period of the day, when we pulled the proposition to pieces, he said—and here is the great inconsistency-- that if we had lost confidence in the committee we should elect another. Now this is very puerile talk for Mr. Hornby. He knows very well that we could not elect another committee now if we wished, and that it is perfectly compatible, with general confidence in a committee, to reject some of its recommenda tions entirely. If this be not so, every proposition of every committee must be accepted, or the eternal bugbear of " lost confidence" is to:be paraded before us; and every member must admit, that if that is the proper course the council had better abdicate its functions at once, and allow the committee to do as they like. During this discussion, I think many of the points which those out of doors lay great stress upon have not been noticed in this room. First of all, they think the situation is a very excellent one, and that there is no back land at all, and in this, I think, they are perfectly correct. Let me ask, Mr. Mayor, where is the back land ? You have an enormous front to Great Howard street, one to the railway, one to the canal, and a fourth by making a short street at the north side of the Northern Hospital. Where, then, is the truth of the assertion that the land has only one front ? But some member says, he has no right to the canal frontage. Will any man tell me that the railway company, who have leased the canal, will not find means to get every facility for loading flats there, if they get the land ? Again, Mr. Alderman Holme says this land is in a well, because it is eighteen feet below the level of the railway. Now, surely, that gentleman does not expect us to be swayed by such shallow reasoning as this. Let me ask him how many stories are warehouses usually built— one or two? Are they not often built five or six stories? But let us be moderate, and take four as an average, and what have we ? This—that only the goods on the ground floor require to be hoisted ; the trucks can be brought into the very centre of the warehouse on the second floor, and the goods actually loaded where they are lying, and those on the two upper stories dropped through a gangway upon the very carriages. Nay, more, the ground floor may be appropriated for canal goods, and thus there woull not be a single bale hoisted in the whole building. Being connected with the wool trade, I have several times had occasion to be in the new station of the London and North Western Railway Company, in Haydon-square, Mine ries, London. There the trucks come into the warehouses on the second floor. The land had no good frontage, yet they gave a long price for it, and all the officials there declare it to be the most convenient station they have for loading and despatching goods. This land is better than it for them, for they have no canal, here we have, which supersedes entirely all hoisting while delivering goods. One gentleman said, the man who would build warehouses except in the margin of a dock, was fit for a lunatic asylum. Now, without going that length, 1 will agree with him as a general principle, but this is not a case in point, because the laud is contiguous to three railways and a canal, thus goods are not imported into Liver pool to remain here, but to be distributed over the country ; it is, therefore, evident that you do not incur cartage on goods when warehoused in a dock warehouse; in a great majo rity of cases you must incur it when taking them out of these warehouses; here you do not, you merely put the goods upon the truck, in the very warehouse itself. I think I have shown clearly that there is no back land here, but that it has four points, and is peculiarly adapted, in every way, for the storing and despatching of goods. With regard to the price, surely enough has been said to show that the price of the land is too small, and that the company have paid much more for a piece of land having only a front on one side to a back street, Love lane, and far behind Great Howard-street. Again, another point upon which great stress is laid out of doors is, that the public have not been offered this land upon the same terms as the railway company, and until that has been done, it is unfair to the public, and we are not doing our duty to our con stituents, to conclude any such sale to any company. Again, there is a decided objection to giving up for ever the control of such an important property, espececially without an equivalent. Now, Mr. Mayor, suppose for a moment, which of course, I do not admit, that 2s 6d a yard rent was the full present value of the land, should the railway company not pay for the reversionary interest in this land? Certainly they should, if even then it were wise to part with it, which I maintain it is not. The worthy Alderman Parker, on the previous day, brought forward the case of a piece of land alienable for ever, fLr the purpose of building a Catholic chapel, no doubt with a holy desire to rouse the religious feelings of his audience, which are generally at overflowing point in this room, and for the special edification of Mr. Sheil, and referred to it as as a case in paint. Now, what are the facts. The gentlemen connected with this enterprise bought 1,400 yards of land, on seventy-five years lease, with one year expired. Now, supposing they paid the value for it, which, no doubt, they did, or they would not have got it, and supposing, for a moment, that 2s 6d a yard is the value of this land, did the corporation say to them—take this for ever ; no, but they charged them £7OO for the reversionary interest, and quite right, too ; and, in the same ratio, the railway company should pay down now £B,OOO for this land, or calculating interest at 3 per cent., £256,000 at the end of seventy-five years. Again, Mr. Mayor, supposing we had sold our town dues fifty, or one hundred years ago, at several times their value, would we have got anything like the income out of them we have got ? Some gentlemen may say there is no analogy between town dues and the increasing value of land; there is more than we suppose perhaps; but suppose we had sold for ever, fifty or a hundred years' ago, the land any where round the I'x-change, at several times its then value, would we have had a tithe of the income from land since then that we have had. But Mr. S. Holme says that it is only the land contiguous to the new docks that is increasing in valu e , and not such land as this. Now, I dissent in toto from this assertion. Why do we build new docks P. Because the present docks are not sufficient for the increasing trade of the port, because more produce is being imported into Liverpool. Now, it is plain that if produce is imported into Liverpool, produce mutt go out of it. It can only go out by railway and eanal ; the more that goes out, the more station room is required, and unless you make new railways and canals with new stations, that land then must increase more rapidly in value than the land contiguous to any docks, I care not where it is. Again, you can only save cartage in dock warehouses, open goods taken out of ships in that particular dock, when they are built, on all other goods cartage would bo incurred. Now, warehouses on this land would be within one length's cartage of the Prince's dock ; they are, therefore, only ono length's cartage behind the best dock warehouse in existence ; but every one will admit that three railways and a canal will carry away, as many goods as can be discharged at ten docks. Let us, however, be very moderate, and say only six docks, Well then, warehouses, or a station, whiCh is the same thing, on that land, according to this reasoning, would be six times more valuable than the warehouse upon any single dock, and increase in value in a greater ratio than any dock ware house, for every new dock that may be constructed, as a 'part at least of the produce landed, as it must pass through this station in its distribution. Again, sir, a point on which great ttress is laid out of doors, is the absolute necessity of carrying out, and that very shortly, one of the improvements adopted by this council, and included in their improvement bill, which they foolishly withdrew after presenting it to radio meet. This corporation has been guilty of many foolish things, but 1 think one of the most stupid was the withdrawal of that bill. Every one who, knows Great Howard-street well, that it is already far too crowded ; and so soon as the docks now being constructed, are furnished, the traffic there will be brought to a complete jam, unless a great improvement is carried out for its relief; and I s a y, w ith ou t th e s li g h test fear of contra di ct i on, that the carrying out of one of the three plans of improve ment, is far more imperative upon us than the making of Cannon -street from London Bridge to St. Pawls. Would it be wise? would it be politic to sell to this company, or to any one else, land for such a miserable price, which we shall be obliged to buy back again At such a fearful cost. Railways are very beneficiel to the country, and Railway shareholders, I may say without fear of contradiction, have been poli o benefactors; but, gentlemen, wo are placed here to look after the corporate interests, that is our first duty let the Railway Company have the land at a fair and full price ; they will still have plenty, after providing fully for town improvements ; they can alter their line, so as to get quit of the nasty and dangerous curve now in it, and by so doing have double facilities for despatching goods, by a station on both sides of the line.
