The high morality of the United States, and the popu lar purity of Great Britain, have defeated the designs of those who have advocated a resort to arms. This is the happy result we have so long anticipated, and we feel no small pride at the triumph we were amongst the first to predict, and are not the last to publish to the world. We stood almost alone when we ventured to deprecate Mr. CRAMPTON'S conduct on the recruiting question, and were loudly re• proached, simply for contending that, as our Minis ter had rendered himselfpersonally obnoxious to the Government of the States, he ought to have been recalled before the difficulties which were solely attributable to his presence at the American capital assumed the character of a rupture between the two Powers. The Washington Cabinet have behaved with the utmost courtesy towards the British Government throughout the whole of the painful discussion which followed the discovery of Mr. CRAMPTON'S proceedings, and the dismissal of our Minister was couched in the most polite and friendly language. There is nothing novel or marvellous in the course pursued by the States' Ministry on this occasion. In every instance where misunder. standings have arisen, they have met Great Britain in an amicable spirit, and they have never left us any thing to ask which would add to our national dignity or the most refined sense of international decorum. If there be anything at all wonderful in the history of the late misunder standing, it is confined wholly to the change which has taken place in the tone, temper, and style of the leading articles of the London Times. From Greek and balderdash, swagger and Latin, French and impertinence, war to the knife, and high flown imitations of diplomatic incomprehensibility, our cotemporary has turned round to reason,has become a peacemaker, and positively gives expression to the common sense of the public, but 'let without giving contention a parting kiss, with these words :—" The last indignity which one State can' " pass on another, is inflicted on Great Britain.' Now, " indignity" is a matter which costs nations but very little. Not so, a glaring breach of _faith, which makes a neutral State a disguised belligerent in a distant war. England called on the States, through Mr. CRAMPTON, to remain neutral, in the very war in which Mr. CRAMPTON is charged with having attempted to induce the citizens of the States to engage Weigh an " indignity" against the dangers of compromising a people in a war in which they were solemnly pledged to take no part, and we think that as the States have looked over the critical position in which they were placed by the acts of the British Government, we may pocket the " indignity" complained of without a murmur. The Washington Cabinet have forgotten and forgiven the perils to which they were exposed by our "levity, " and the London Times is forced to admit that, "on purely personal " grounds," Mr. CRAMPTON was dismissed. Mr. MARCY and his colleagues make no secret of their dislike to the late British Ambassador, and lose no opportunity of declaring their friendship for the country he represented. And the " leading " journal," re-echoing the very words we used some weeks since, says, "It is absurd " for us to insist on the presence of a man "at Washington who may be known to have, " with reason, made himself distasteful to " those to whom he is accredited." This rational strain must jar on the public ear, after all the bluster our London journals have given us within the last month, and our readers will be puzzled to know where the sense and moderation came from which dictated these few lines :—" If, " then, we dismiss Mr. DALLAS, we commit our " selves to an approval of a Minister whose conduct " it is impossible wholly to defend, and reject the " friendly professions of the United States, " vouched for as they are by offers of concessions, "as regards the central American difficulty." After all this, we have nothing more to apprehend in this quarter, and we will turn to what Lord PAL MERSTON said, in the House of Commons last night, in answer to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, namely :—Her Majesty's Government would not consider it necessary to suspend diplomatic relations with the United States in consequence of Mr. CRAMP TON'S dismissal by the American Cabinet. A similar assurance was given in the House of Lords by Lord CLARENDDN, and thus, we may say, end the rumours of War with the West. WE publish in another part of our columns the letters of the MAYOR, and the Rector, Mr. CAMP BELL, Chairman of the Reformatory Association, appealing to the public for subscriptions to carry out the important objects which that Society have in view. The intentions of the committee are so fully stated in the Chairman's letter, that we need not recapitulate them. Lieutenant VEITCII, of the Royal Navy, the present superintendent of the Akbar school frigate, had the charge of about two hundred boys on board the guard-ship at Ply mouth, and there, as well as in other difficult positions, displayed that rare combination of kind ness, decision, and tact, by means of which the affections of the governed may be con ciliated, at the same time that the strictest order and discipline is maintained. The composition of the committee is also satisfactory, for it not only comprises some of our, oldest and most philanthropic townsmen, but also such men as Mr. JOHN ATKIN, Mr. PALMER, Mr. GRAVES, and Mr. S. G. RATHBONE, young and active shipowners, whose presence there ought to be a guarantee that the enterprise will be conducted in a practical spirit, and the boys not only reformed, but fitted in F 11 I D AY On account of whom it may concern.

The undertaking is certainly one which has the strongest claims upon us, both as Christians and as political economists. As Christians, we must all desire to see a door opened to those whose present circumstances make repentance almost impossible, while, as political economists, we shall rejoice at seeing an attempt made to mitigate, however slightly, the existing scarcity of seamen, by abstracting boys from the mischievous and dal% gerous classes of society. Sailors are our protec tion in time of war, and the sources of our wealth in time of peace ; and there is every reason to hope the present enterprise may add seventy to eighty trained men annually to the number. It. is only proper that Liverpool, the largest commercial port in Great Britain, should be the first to set an example (which we hope may be followed else where) of carrying out this noble scheme.

No change was expected until the arrival of corn from Poland towards the end of this month. The wheat to be found in the neigh bourhood of Odessa is of very inferior quality. There is neither barley nor rye to be purchased at Odessa, or in the interior, Accounts from Bessa rabia state that there is still a considerable sup ply of wheat of superior quality, but it is held by parties who are not inclined to sell at less than 16 silver roubles the chetwert. The quarantine has been temporarily suspended at Odessa, which is a great advantage to the numerous foreign vessels in the port. The royal mail ship Marco Polo, sailed from Melbourne on the 26th of March, for Liverpool, with 68,737 ounces of gold, and 41,140 sovereigns on freight, valued at upwards of 316,0001. This is in addition to the 700,0001. shipped on board the Medway, Morning Star, and George Marshall, the arrival of which may be shortly expected. A total of more than a million is here shown. The half-yearly Portuguese dividends are adver tised for payment. It must be repeated, however, that the government perseveres in the iniquitous system inaugurated two or three years back, under which the interest upon all classes of Portuguese bonds—Five per Cent., Four per Cent., and Three per Cent—was arbitrarily fixed at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. Portugal shows at length some desire to remove this financial stain, but until the reasonable requirements of her creditors shall have been actually complied with, she remains in the position of a defaulting state. A special meeting of the Great Northern Railway Company is called for the l.st of July to consider two bills now before parliament, one of which refers to the North Western Railway Company, whilst the other enables the Metropolitan Rail way Company to form a junction with the Great Northern line.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SATURDAY, MIDNIGHT. The baptism of the Imperial Prince, which has been so long expected, has taken place to-day,with extraordinary pomp, and has excited immense curiosity. The day was ushered in by the firing ofg artillery. By order of the Government, the Bourse was not opened at all, and the Post-office closed much earlier than usual. This, added to the intense lave of sight-seeing which characterises the Parisians, caused the day to be generally regarded as a holiday ; and, from twelve o'clock, scarcely any business was done any where. Although the Imperial cortege was not to leave the Tuilleries before five o'clock in the afternoon, people began long before mid-day to assemble on the terraces of the gardens of the palace, and at other commanding spots in the line of procession. Somewhat later, but long before the appointed hour, crowds collected along the line the procession was to take ; every window of every house was filled with specta tors ; and on the vacant sites, hero and there, stands were erected, and were one and all crowded with spectators. Before five, national guards, and troops of the line, were drawn up on each sido of the line to be taken, all the way from the Tuilleries to the cathedral of Notre Dame. The houses were splendidly decorated .vith flags, not only on the line of procession, but in all parts of the city ; and at a great many houses the English flag was to be seen, as were also, though fewer in number, the Turkish and Sardinian ; there were likewise some few Austrian flags A large body of cavalry was collected in the Place de la Concorde. About half-past four o'clock the Cardinal Le gate left the Tuilleries to proceed to Notre Dame. He and his suite were in carriages, and a large gilt cross was carried before him as an emblem of the Papal dignity. He was escorted by light dragoons. His presence excited much curiosity, but gave rise to no manifestation of enthusiasm. He was received at the entrance to the Cathedral by the Archbishop and clergy, and was conducted in procession to a throne which had been prepared for him, the music playing Tat es Petrus. The interior of the cathedral was completely changed by the preparations for the ceremony A vast estrage was erected in the middle of the transept, and in the front of it was placed an alter. On the right and left of the transept, were stand ings for the diplomatic body and the great bodies of the State, and above, were two tribunes com municating with the gallery of the transept. Other tribunes were erected in other parts of the church. The roof was painted (a novelty which seemed to many persons to destroy the stern gravity of the venerable cathedral) ; an immense num ber of chandeliers were suspended from it and . velvet draperies decked with gold fringe, and the initials " N." " E." ran from column to column. Outside at the entrance was an immense canopy, and poles bearing streamers. Just after the arrival of the Cardinal Legate, the Church presented a magnificent appearance. It was filled from floor to roof with prelates, judges, ambassadors, servators, functionaries, Sm., &c , in robes or uniforms of every art and every hue, and by ladies wearing ball dresses of the costliest quality, and most exquisite make, and diamonds and precious stones of untold value. At five o'clock the procession, to the great delight of the vast multitude of impatient spectators, began to move from the Tuilleries. First marched the trumpeters and band of the Carbineers ; then came General Korte and his staff; then two squadrons of the Carbineers, two of the 11th Dragoons, with the band, and two of the Guides, with the band. Afterwards came outriders, and three carriages containing the aides de-camp and officers of the Prince Napoleon, Prince Jerome Napoleon, and the Princess Mathilde. Then came three carriages with six horses, with outriders, containing ladies of honour, chamberlaines, and other functionaries of the palace. Next were three other carriages, also with six horses, containing personages of a higher degree—namely, the Grand Chamberlain, the Grand Marshal .of the Palace, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, the Grand Master of the Emperor's Household, &c, &c. In the next carriage, which was drawn by six horses, were the Princess Mathilde and the Duchess of Hamilton, who, being nee Princess. of Baden, is a relative of the Imperial family. In the next carriage, like wise drawn by six horses, were Prince Jerome, Prince Napoleon, the Grand Duchess of Badon, and the Prince of Sweden. By the side of these two last carriages rode aides-de-camp and orderly officers. Then came a carriage with eight horses, containing the little Imperial Prince, his nurse, and gouvernantes. The vehicle was preceded by, six outriders, and the horses were led by grooms. Marshal Canrobert rode at the right hand side door of it, and another Marshal at the left. Then - came the Imperial equerries. and afterwards, in a carriage drawn by eight horses led by grooms, were the Emperor and Empress. At the right hand of the vehicle were Marshal Baraquay d'Hilliers, Grand Huntsman, the General Com manding the National Guards, and the first equerry ; at the left were Marshal Castellane, the General Commanding the Imperial Guard, and the aide-de-camp. Following the Emperor's carriage were aides-de-camp and orderly officers, the squadron of the Cent Guides, and six squad rons of heavy cavalry, with two of artillery, and their bands. _ The procession was certainly very splendid. The varied uniforms, the military parade, the magnifi cent carriages, the gorgeous Imperial liveries of green and gold, and the horses, nearly all of which were of great beauty, formed a tout ensemble which was really pleasing, even to the jaded sight-seer of Paris. As the cortege passed on, with "solemn pace and slow," the National Guards and troops pre rented arms, the people shouted with enthusiasm, " Vive Empereur !" " Vive Imperatrice !" " Vive 1' Prince Imperial !" whilst the ladies at the win dows waved their handkerchiefs. The Emperor and Empress, who were in a carriage of surpassing splendour, and the upper part of the body of which was formed almost exclusively of glass, were very gracious and bowed right and left ; they both seemed very happy, and the anxiety to get a glimpse of the little Prince was very great, but though he was held at the windows few were able to gratify it. The Empress wore a white dress over one of light blue, and had diamonds that must have been worth at a moderate computation almost half a million sterling. In her hair, round her neck, at her ears, on her arms, round her waist, wherever in fact it was possible to display diamonds there she had them. And right well she looked with them. The Emperor was in uniform. Arrived at the Cathedral the Emperor and Empress were received by the Archbishop and Chapter, and after receiving holy water, incense, &c., proceeded under a canopy borne by canons to the place provided for them. The cortege, as it swept up the Cathedral, was of surpassing magni ficence. The little Imperial Prince was enveloped in a splendid mantle, decked with ermine. He was carried by the_ Gouvernante, Madame Bizot, widow of the general killed at Sebastopol. When all the personages present had taken their places—an operation which took some time—the Cardinal Legate went to the altar, and chanted the Veni Creator, the organ and music accompanying him. Whilst this was being done, what one called the " Honors" of the child, that is the chrism cloth, the vessels containing salt, and other things used in Roman Catholic baptisms— were placed with pomp -on creden tables near the altar. The Cardinal then performed some other ceremony, and the child was conveyed to the fonts. The Emperor and Empress then ascended a throne, and all the personages who took part in the ceremony grouped themselves on the estrade. The rest of the baptismal ceremony was then gone through, in the order prescribed by which serv e d as a the Catholic Church. The vase ifont, is in copper, of very curious workmanship, and was brought by Saint Louis , King of France, from the Holy Land, in one of the crusades. When the ceremony was concluded, the child was handed j to the Emperor, and he. held it up in his arms showing it to the people. As his Majesty did this, a chamberlain advanced , cried th ree ti mes " Vivo le Prince Imperial ! —a cry whieh was re peated with entbrasiastn by the vast multit u d e i n th e c h urc h. The exhibition of the child by the Emperor, and the shouting, formed a brilliant and moving spectacle. The child was then taken away, 1 conveyed back to the Tuilleries in grand procession the Empress first clasping him in her arms. A Te Deum was then chaunted in glorious style, the Cardinal Legate afterwards pronounced the Pon tifical benediction, and the ceremony terminated. The Emperor and Empress, the Legate, the rchbishop, the great Court dignitaries, the i llf3reign Ambassadors, &c., afterwards proceeded l 6 the Hotel de Ville, to attend the grand ban uet offered by 'the Prefect and municipality. About 300 persons, in all, were at this banquet, ind they were of the very highest distinction. It is needless to say .that the dinner , was the most exquisite that could possibly be produced, and that the valle in which it took place, and all the adjacent rooms, were fitted up with extraordinary splen dour, and yet with the chaste taste. Everybody was in uniform, with one exception, and that was a gentleman in a plain black coat; he was, (under stand, either the United States minister, or some representative of the United States legation. Doubtless, the Americans have good republican reasons for not putting their ministers in uniform, but oli this grand occasion, and in such a distinguished assemblage, it cannot be denied that the dark coat formed a blot on the pic ture. Both the Emperor and Empress were very gay. It was observed that the latter ate .very heartily, and that she made pretty considerable havoc on a large dish of asparagus A band played several admired morceaux during the dinner. After nightfall, the Hotel de Ville, and all the public buildings, together with a vast number of private houses, were brilliantly illuminated. In the Avenue Victoria, opposite the Hotel de Ville, which was elegantly decked with triumphal arches, tree, and streamers ; blue and red Bengal lights were employed at intervals, and they illuminated the. Hotel de Ville, the tower of Jacques, and the neighbouring houses, in the most brilliant manner imaginable. The spectacle was really an extra ordinary one, and the Emperor and Empress, who viewed it from the Hotel de Ville, were de lighted with it. 'At half-past ten their Majesties left the Hotel de Vile for the Tuileries, and on their way were greeted with enthusiastic acclamations. All Paris was on foot to see the sight, and vast multitudes of provincials were brought into town by cheap railway trains, and everything passed off with the greatest order, and there were no accidents.

To-day is observed as a fete in honour of the Imperial Prince, and the post-office closes at the unusually early hour of one in the afternoon. We have had firing of artillery, and the people are now flocking to the theatres, where there are gra tuitous performances, or to the Esplanale of the Invalides and the Barrier du Trone, to see pantomimes, military spectacles, and climbing greased poles, and at night there are to be splendid illuminations and displays of fireworks. The Cardinal Legate, on his presentation to the Emperor on Friday, delivered a Latin speech, to which his Majesty replied as follows :—" I _am very grateful - to - his - Holiness, Pope Pius IX., for having consented to be godfather of the child whom Providonce has given me. In demanding this grace from him, I wished to call down in a special manner the protec tion of heaven on my son and on France. I know that one of the surest means to merit it, is to testify all my veneration for the Holy Father, who is the representative of Jesus Christ on earth." This list sentence has been a good deal remarked. When Baron Brunnow was received by the Emperor on Friday, Ss stated in my letter of that date, he presented the Emperor, in the name of the Czar, with the Orders of Saint Andrew, Saint Alexander, Newaki, the White Eagle, and Saint Anne. On the occasion of the baptism, M. Rouher, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, the Marquis de Castelbajae, ex-Ambassador, and Vice Admiral Baron Dubourdieu have been appointed servators. A vast number of naval and . military officers, and of soldiers and sailors; have been nominated to, or promoted in, the Legion of Honour. Moreover, 780 civil, and 303 military offenders, have obtained a pardon or a commutation of their punishment, .and 251 petty offenders have had fines imposed, and then re mitted. The ex• Queen of the French, and the Princes and Princesses d'Orleans, have given 25 ,000 francs to the fund for the relief of the victims of the inundations. It is not true, as was stated in the Pays yesterday, that the French refugees in Bel gium, have refused to contribute to the relief of their suffering countrymen ; on the contrary, they have made them a remittance of 150 fr. General Sir W. F. Williams, of Kars, has had the honour of being received by the Emperor, and has had•the dignity of Commander of the Legion of Honour conferred on him. The Journal des Debats considers that the Ameri• can affair has, at last, really become very serious ; but the Assemble Nationale thinks that England and the United States will temporise, and will end by avoiding war. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. TURKEY, MARSEILLES, SATURDAY. The Sinai has arrived from Constantinople with news to the sth instant. The treaty with Greece relative to the repression of brigandage has been ratified. There was a talk of a military occupation of Turkey . ; the English fleet was expected. The Bairam was celebrated with great pomp. The Sultan had held a review of 30.000 men. The Journal de Constantinople pretends that the Rus sians destroyed the fortifications of Kars on the 13th of May. before they delivered up the town to the Turks, and that they have also demolished the fortresses of Reni and Ismail, contrary to the spirit of the treaty of Paris. This news requires confirmation. The news of the destruction of the fortifications at Reni, Ismail, and Kars, had produced a great sensation at Constantinople. Letters from the Crimea come down to the 3rd. The English fleet was expected there to embark 25,000 men before the 15th. Tartars were arriving at Balaklava in great numbers. The English evacuation was going on slowly. Trade at Balaklava is in a deplorable state, and many forced sales under executions have taken place. A. good deal of merchandise is to be re-shipped for France and Egypt. Another despatch of the same date says telegraphic orders from London had been received at Constantinople that - all the vessels in port should proceed at once to the Crimea to bring away troops, on account of the extra ordinary heats. A. new line of French steamers is established between Constantinople and Galatz.

Advices from Breslau to the 9th inst. state that there was been a reaction in the prices of wool, and holders of stocks have been obliged to reduce their demands from 3 to 4 rixthalers per centner, while the buyers are not inclined to make large pur chases, in the expectation of a further decline. Most of the wool is in the hands of speculators, and there is every reason to suppose that they will lose considerably by the change in the state of the market. Very few producers have wool in store, and all those who reserve their produce have it upon their farms. This reaction has been influenced by the sales in England, and the gene ral inferiority of the produce. _ . . The London Corn Market has been active this morning, and a rise of 3s. per guar. on Monday's prices was established. The conciliatory tone pervading the American despatches just published upon the subject of Mr. Crampton's conduct and dismissal, has removed the impression which was rapidly gaining ground in the city, that our amicable relations with the United States would be rescinded ; but there is yet a feeling of anxiety with regard to the probable course that will be taken by our Govern ment. The funds have, however, improved to I. per cent compared with the latest value of Saturday, and the market exhibits a buoyant though quiet aspect. Speculators are cautious, and, as the public are not operating, owing to the transfer books being closed, the transactions ar e rather limited in extent. Consols have been 948 and 946 '7 ; all the morning. The Scrip is 21, premium, The New 3 per cents. are 94i g, and the Reduced 948 K.

York and North Midlawl, NO WAR WITH AMERICA.—WiIIiam Brown, Esq., the excellent and indefatigable member for South Lanca shire, knowing the anxiety of the people of Liverpool on the American question, telegraphed last night to Mr. Hamilton, of the Dingle, for the informeion of the local press, an answer given by Lord Palmerston that our relations with the United States would not be disturbed. Mr. Hamilton at once kindly forwarded to us by special messenger the telegraphic announcement as follows " Lord Palmerston has stated that Mr. Dallis is to I remain, and that they are ready to negociate with him." THE PRINCIPALITIES. The Gazette de Cologne announces the solution of the difficulty which had arisen on the subject of the appoint ment of Monkless Pacha (Prince Stourdza) as one of the commissioners. The Porte remained firm, and in the night of May 31 and June 1, a despatch was received at Jassy stating that the Russian government had withdrawn its opposition. The commission has, consequently, resumed its labours. AUSTRIA A Vienna letter in the Presse says that the proscription of the Russian journal Le Ford in the Austrian states is not a fait accompli, but that the question has been dis cussed in council. .._•____ SPAIN.

Sir Richard Molyneux and Sir William Molyneux havi" that lease, granted a sub-lease to the mayor a nd e 0 and ration of Liverpool, in the year 1557, for one year, an so on from year to year, at the will of both parties. ct , Mr. Shuttleworth here remarked that Mr. Stanistre was ready to produce those leases, and it might, here. fo re, be canistr onvenient now to call him. ceS Mr. Sted, on being examined, produced the le in question, and explained them in detail. In the cour'oc of his explanations, he said that in 1572, Sir. Wil liaj d Molyneux and Lord Molyneux granted to the May erp or an , y ooi Corporation of Liverpool, a lease of the town of Li for the space of 1,000 years. lylr. At the close of Air. Stanistred's examination, Shuttleworth resumed, and after citing further lea.a(eT; from the Molyneux family to the mayor and corporlivv.. ) of Liverpool, he submitted a number of accounts, -ITbv ing the rents which from time to time had been Pa iu the corporation to the Molyneux i n consider s tio of the leases. Lord Hotham : Have you any thing to lay before the committee on this part of the question ? The Town Clerk : Not in the form of doconient s ' now propose to refer to the evidence which has already been given, in reference to the Liverpool dock estate. After some conversation, the Town Clerk commenced by referring to the dock acts, stating that the firs t d i n g was was passed in the reign of Queen Ann. After readi extracts from the various dock acts, and showing from troy. them the separate and distinct interests of the dock tees and the corporation, he said, that when the corpora.: tion got possession of the lease from the Moir" family, they t the value of the property. ln the first in th e a once commenced operations to develop ° corporation gave a grant of four acres for the purp ose the making a dock, and that grant was the origin e t. lie great dock estate, which they now had at Liverp ool. had next showed that in the sales of property which she been made from the corporation to the dock trustees, corporation had always studied the interests of the P er ; the trade of which had gradually increased un der th management which he had explained. In 18 00 t he num : ber of vessels which entered the port of Liverpool 4,746, and the tonnage, 470,060 tons ; in 18 0, the ntl,r g i ber of vessels was, 6,729, and the tonnage, 734.- e tons ; in 1820, number of vessels, 7,276, tonne; 805,033 tons ; in 1830, number of vessel, 11,214, tolu ieg ,„: 1,411,964 tons; in 1840, number of vessels, 2,445,708 tons ; in 1860, number of vessels, 20,457/ t° 11134 „ 0 : ' , 3,536,337 tons; in 1865 , number of vessels, 20,024, to lane' 4,096,167 tons.

John Stewart, who was now the Mayor of Liverpool, and who, from his professional experience, was fully og ie • al l' - ot the affairs of the dock estate for thell years, would be prepared to give the committee the particulars referring to the sales of land from tbe e 9 ' d poration to the dock committee. It had also been ali e g t d . that the corporation, by the power of vetoing the procellati ings of the dock committee which it possessed, ,1&, prejudicially interfered with the management of the a'' of estate. He would lay before the committee the nu n ' c op occasions, and the circumstances under which the ee., poration had exercised its power of vetoing the proceedn,:;s of the dock committee from 1825 to the present time- 4 biti power the corporation had exercised twelve times 1 11 ,. t he that period, but he did not consider that the exercise of 0 veto had on any occasion been prejudicial to the We re last thir of the dock estate. The Town Clerk here laid before hte committee the various occasions on which the corP ereti b °l er had vetoed the proceedings of the dock committee , tog ~s with their reasons for doing so. Some amusement theo caused on the Town Clerk stating that on one occ asion i corporation vetoed a resolution of the dock committee that reporters be admitted to their meetin gs. to Mr. Lowe : What year was it that the proceeding g, admitting the reporters, were vetoed ? th o The Town Clerk : That was in the year 1828. '- year 1810, the question of admitting' reporters to the meeting of the dock committee again came on, and the d° cr i ‘ committee then wished to exclude them, whilst thi n e er t f a t ration were desirous of their being admitted. ~1,„ occasion, therefore, the two bodies had change° - (Laughter.) Reference had been made, before the the mittee, to the purchases of laud in Wallas h e corporation, and it had been alleged that t there.

That clearly showed that the allig'ja to which he had refered was altogether unfound,e,e e ' s the continuation, the Town Clerk laid before the coinnut' a a t entire history of the purchase and re-sale o f the lard of Wallasey-pool, together with the ultimate p . pre n est Vella° the Birkenhead docks by the corporation last year. the referred to the Birkenhead dock bill, p ro moted °Y, e se corporation this year. The corporation, he sa id ' p iing desirous of completing the docks at Birkenhead, aece. rbtio°:r anon, to i nal to a plan by their own engineer, in preference t o the of t he plan sanctioned by parliament.

The c ern ion , under the circumstances, now felt that weretheythe c o regent execute the works at Birkenhead 'according to the .r,- the plans, as authorised by parliament. After sh°% °ll d 7 e 'd to amount of the corporation debt, the witness prooee rat ion enumerate the several sums of money which the build incorPAehad from time to - time expended in improvements enu Le n ot. gs in Liverpool, which were solely for the benefit of t u to r for Included in this expenditure were several large opening and widening streets rendered specially the e coin for dock purposes. Some gentlemen stated before 000 in mittee that the corporation had expended X 1 5,?; b was widening and otherwise improving Bold-street, vralexperise full of shops. That was quite a mistake. N o such e r pora' had been incurred in improving Bold-street . The e e irt tba tion had also spent a considerable sum of ninn e Y at of the erection of buildings which were solely for the bene , t e w ere port and the commerce of the country. ,AMOllgSt thel, the the Revenue-buildings at Liverpool, upon sal e : w ive corporation spent upwards of £ 150,000, T hia of the sum contributed by the governu a l t :s Wu" building, with the exception of portions of I , for pied by the dock committee, was used solely loo t government and national purposes, there being for their advantages, and the corporation receiving nothing f°' outlay.
