This week bas been an unsettled one ; a heavy fall of Wednesday having materially disconcerted operators, and created for the moment a kind of panic, though without any circumstances to justify it. Large sales, an extensive failure, and the efforts of speculators, effected a fall of per cent. But the depression has been only temporary, and is now to some extent recovered. _ _ The market opened firmly at the commencement of the week. Consols for money were done at 951 throughout Monday, and the following day were a shade higher. closing at 951 to I. For the November account the price WIS 951 to 1, and at those -quotations the market closed to all appearance firmly. On Wednesday, the aspect of affairs changed. Sales of stock were effected to the ex tent, it is said of half a million, and Consols fell from 951 to 941. A failure to the extent of £150,000 was re ported.. Though not on the Exchange, the defalcations will severely affect a wide class of comparatively humble speculators. The market partially rallied before the close of business, though the fall was not in any degree reco vered. On Thursday, things looked brighter: Consols opened at 95 to 1, but heavy sales were effected, and prices sank to 241, at which they closed for money. Por the account the figure was 951. Yesterday, a slight im provement took place; in the early part of the day Con sols for money were done at 911, but before the close they rallied to 951. For the account the closing price was 951 to 2.. The fall in other descriptions of English securities has been less marked. Bank Stock receded from 2061 to 2051, but before the close yesterday it had recovered its position. ition Fschequer bills are a little lower : yesterday they were done at I3s. to 16s. p.m. In the Foreign Market Spanish Stock is, as we antici pated it would be, on the rise, though not much is doing in it. Three per cents were done yesterday at 371 ; and Actives at 261. There is little doubt that the settlement of the marriages will tend to give affairs in Spain a firmer aspect and probably produce a corresponding rise in the value of the securities. Portuguese Bands are low ; the Four per Cepa being done at 41 to 1. - Mexican stock continues in a hopeless state ; the last quotations are 23 to 24. Dutch Two and a Half per Gents. are 48i to 591. The improved aspect of the Share Market at the be ginning of the week was checked by the fall of Wednes day. But a larger amount of business has been done, and there seems a better disposition to purchase, though on the ranee of the week we cannot note any improve ment in prices. The amount of stock introduced in the last two years is so heavy as not to be susceptible of any rapid rise. It is calculated that from two to three years must elapse before railway stock can be capable of any considerable improvement. Much of that held now at a low figure is of a very promising description ; but there does not appear available capital in the country, not for any speculative purpcse at least, to raise the value of the millions of shares that are floating in the country. A large portion of the new shares were taken up only as a temporary investment, and the wants of holders now compel a sale at any prices offered. Conjectures are hazarded that as calls become due Consols must fall lower than at present, as sales will have to be effected to meet the liabilities on lines in progress. The country is no doubt deeply engaged, and this view becomes probable, when we look forward to the enor mous sums that will be wanted in this one branch of in dustrial pursuit during the next twelve months. The deficiency of the cotton crop has excited some un easiness. At the last sales at Liverpool the demand was brisk at an improvement of LA. per lb. ; and it is certain that the stocks are getting lower than they have been known for several years previous. Money, notwithstanding the decline in the stock of bullion in the Bank, continues plentiful on the Stock Exchange, and advances are still readily made on first class securities at 3 per cent. The uncertainty which hangs over the Consol Market, and the fluctuations to which it is at present subject, tend to make investment in other good securities more desirable. The price of grain is still maintained; and the arrivals of foreign are small. No considerable quantity can now be expected before the winter sets in. SATURDAY EVENING. The Consol Market has been extremely heavy this morning. Fur the next Account the price has ranged from 951 +a, and for transfer from 95 to 911. The Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities have been sold at 941, and Exchequer-bills at 13s. premium. In Mexican Bonds the fluctuations have been rather frequent to-day—from 23 to 231. Old Portuguese are at 84, the Four per Cents. at 411. the Spanish Actives at 27, the Three per Cents. at 37i, Brazilian at 85, and Dutch Two-anti-a-Half per Cents. at 59. The Share transactions have not been large. The shipments of the precious metals to the continent have rather been on the increase this week. LATEST 'FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NEWS. THE SPANISH MARRIAGES. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 11th instant. The ceremony of the velacion of the Queen and the Infanta took place on that day. At twelve o'clock the royal family left the palace for the Church of Atocha. The cortlge consisted of thirty carriages of the Queen's household and that of Count Bresson, the French Am bassador. The streets were lined with troops and filled with a dense population, but not a single cheer was uttered in favour of her Majesty, the Infanta, or the French Ambassador. The religious ceremony customary on the marriage of the kings of Spain was performed with extraordinary pomp, and at four o'clock the royal family returned to the palace. " All the houses on the passage of the corte'lle," says a French letter, " were adorned with flags and presented a gay appearance, except one— tbe hotel of the Minister of England. In the morning Mr. Bulwer was seen in a job-coach, wrapped up in his cloak, which covered him up to his eyes." Mr. Bulwer was not present at the nuptial ceremonies. There were partial illuminations at night. The public buildings, government offices, and the houses of a number of the grandees were illuminated. The house of the French Ambassador, as a matter of course, was most brilliantly lighted up. It was remarked that the balconies of the Neapolitan Minister, Prince Carini, were quite dark—not a single torch or a candle in the window. The balconies of tha British Embassy were lighted ; but it was solely on account of its being her Majesty's birthday. There were very few private houses illuminated. There were one or two cries of " Viva . el Infante Don Francisco" and " Viva la Reina" heard. But, notwith standing the constant efforts of the Queen-mother, and the French princes to attract public notice by bowing, smiling, nodding their heads, &c.. no notice was taken of them ; nor were their salutes returned. CHANGE OF MINISTRY IN PORTUGAL. We have received advices from Lisbon to the 11th inst. A political counter.movement of the most complete cha racter had been quietly effected by the court and the army in conjunction ; and the people of Lisbon and the sur rounding district, so far from opposing it, had generally demonstrated their satisfaction. The Duke of Palmella and his colleagues were summarily dismissed by her faithful Majesty on the night of the 6th, and a new Ministry, by previous arrangement, immediately formed as follows : President of the Council and _ Minister of War Minister of the Kingdom and, ad interim, of Finance .. Justice • J. J. Valente Farinho. Marine and Colonies e Castro. Foreign Affairs...... No member of the Cabral Administration entered into this combination, but the policy of the new Administra,; tion would be nearly identical with that of the Cabrals. Most of the Palmellapolicy had been revoked by a stroke of the pen. Accounts from the province of Minho were anxiously expected. The Duke da Terceira had_been despatched thither to take 'measures for suppressing any new revolt. THE WEST INDIA MAILS. The 12,-,yal Mail Company's steamer Severn, Vincent commander, arrived at Southampton, on Sunday morning, after a rapid passage. Her dates are,—Demerara, the 18th ; Trinidad, the 20th ; Barbadoes,the.2lth; Grenada, the 26th; St. Jago de Cuba, the 19; Jamaica, the 23rd ; Jacmel, the 25th : Porto Rico, the 27th, and St. Thomas's, the 29th of September • and Fayal, the 11th inst. From the various is lands we have our usual files of papers ; their columns are chiefly occupied by articles and discussions on the new Sugar Duties Bill. Public meetings were about to be held throughout the colonies, and it was intended to memorialize the home Government on their present critical position, and pray the adoption of the most stringent measures for the total suppression of slavery all over the world. At Trinidad a severe shock of an earthquake bad been felt on the 6th September, during the hours of divine service ; it was preceded and accompanied by a rumbling noise ; the motion was at first tremulous, but ended with a violent vibration sufficiently strong to set the bells of the churches ringing. It lasted more than a minute. On the 13th a still more severe shock was experienced, and some part of the congregation in Trinity Church bad a narrow escape of being killed by the falling of a portion of the building. Happily no serious accident occurred at Trinidad, but it was rumoured that Dominica and some other islands had sustained serious damage from the earthquake and a hurricane. Our papers from Barbadoes are to Tuesday, Sept. Bth. As they make no allusion to the earthquake of the 6th, we presume they did not feel it. The weather and the crops are favourably reported. The markets were abun dantly supplied with every description of native esculents. Yams were at two dollars per cwt., and sweet potatoes sizty to eighty cents. The Colonial Legislature was ad journed to the 15th. The heat was intense, but the ge neral health of the island is stated to be good. Arrivals from America have been plentiful. The quantity of sugar shipped to the above date has been 20,888 hogsheads, 1267 tierces, 790 barrels. Rain fallen for the month 6.47 inches. The exchange was 494 and 495 dollars for £lOO sterling at thirty days. Our latest dates from Tobago are to the 3d of Sept. The quantity of sugar shipped for the present year from this island is 2660 hogsheads, 332 tierces, 435 barrels, being a decrease when compared with last year's return of 968 hogsheads, 207 tierces, and 176 barrels. A cor responding decrease in rum and molasses is also reported. KAFFIRLAND.—Cape Town papers of the Bth August describe the advance of Col. Hare's and Sir A. Stocken strorn's divisions. and the retreat of the Kaffirs towards the Buffalo points. By advice's from the Havannah we learn that the town was illuminated upon the arrival of the news from Eng land of the New Sugar Duties Bill having passed ; and it was reported that 12 slave vessels were about to be fitted out to proceed to the coast of Africa. The price of slaves. was said to have advanced 2.5 per cent. ; a boy 14 years of age, with good muscles, bringing readily in the market 400 dollars. The Republic of Hayti have passed a law by which fo reign and national vessels trading on long voyages. after having effected in the port of entry an entir e discharge of the merchandise destined for the country, are permitted to proceed to one or more open ports for the purpose of taking in such part or entire cargoes of produce as they may require for exportation. The same vessels will be permitted to take in a cargo of mahogany at the port of the Great Salina of Artibonite, after having entered at an open port, where they will be measured and inspected. The Customs' duties shall be regulated according to the dimensions and full tonnage of each vessel at the rate of 500 feet the ton. Haytiau vessels built in the country trading on long voyages, or to the neighbouring islands, are exempt from tonnage dues and other expenses of port or clearances. SCARCITN ON THE CONTINENT. — The price of bread in Paris has undergone no change for the second fort night in October. The prospects, however, had not im proved, and there was even every reason to fear that it would increase during the winter, although five or six hundred vessels laden with corn are now on their way from America and Southern Russia for the French shores. A portion of that supply will be required for Al geria, where the heat, which in some places rose to 559 centigrade, had completely burnt up the crops. The quantity of foreign wheat necessary to provide for the de ficiency, which on no former occasion had exceeded 22 days' consumption, will this year probably amount to up wards of 40. Germany is not less embarrassed than France in respect of provisions. Bavaria, Wurtemberg, B a den, and other states of the Zollverein had laid an ex port duty of 25 per cent. on wheat. Switzerland, Sicily, Naples, Portugal, a portion of Sweden, &c., were simi larly menaced with scarcity. Twelve bakers and Nar corn•factors of Paris had failed in the course of last eek. THEATRE ROYAL.—Mr. Jacobs, the most accomplished of modern wizards, nightly draws crowded audienc es to won der at kis caba!htic exhi biting. His apparatus i s ex tensive and costly , and. his wonder ful Aka!, as is we ll known. is unrivalled. His _ventriloqu ism e is perfect, de vo id aßogether of that vulgar i ty which is the charaeristic of the majority of po l yp honic entertainments. Mr. Bateman, a " nigger delineator" of great cleverness, adds to the s um of attraction. On Saturday Mr. Dowling informed the presiding Ma gistrates, at the Police-court. that the town is at present infested with a gang of begging-letter impostors. All our readers should be on their guard when pestered by such characters. VENTILATORS.—Nothing, it is admitted, can be more conducive to health than well ventilated apartments ; but, hitherto, the expense of obtaining that desideratum has been so great as to preclude to a certain extent the adoption of any approved principle. It gives us, hooll. ever, great satisfaction to refer to the advertisement of Mr. Forrest, by which it will be seen that a reduction of forty per cent. has been made in Bentley's ventilators, decidedly the best yet produced. Mr. Forrest bas also produced a new ventilator. peculiarly adapted, from its exceeding cheapness, to cottages. It is worthy the at tention of the Health of Towns Committee. THE ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.—The little 'Liver has during the past week been densely crowded, and the audiences have not only been unusually great, but highly imoortant; indeed, the performances of these inimitable delineators of the American negro are of such a character as to have induced more than the usual theatre-going community to pay them a ,visit, and the boxes have nightly presented a gaxaly of beauty and fashion. The concerts have all gone off most rapturously. Pell (an original and eccentric Yankee) has drawn down the most enthusiastic applause. The accordion player has aroused the admiration of all who have heard him, while White and Harrington have been equally successful ; but it would be uszless to particularise those parts in which they excel, for from first tolastthevha i v n e L re i c v e e i r v p e o d ol t . h a a s t d me of approbation which places them in the enviable position of the tirst favourites of the day. This is posi ttihveeylyarte u he a l n a n s o tw n e c e ed to week of appear f theirperforming at the Music-ball. Dublin, on Monday next. There is a treat in store for those who have not vet seen them ; and as there is a change of pro.• gramme nightly. there is no doubt that they will be revisir ted by many of those who httyc already patronised them, The Queen has approved of Mr. George Papajanni, as Consul at Liverpool for the King of Greece. VALUABLE ADDITIONS TO THE ZOOLOGICAL GAR DENS.—The valuable collection on view at these gardens has been considerably augmented during the past week. The splendid male leopard that arrived by the Henry Moore, Captain Withycombe, has been purchased, and added to the groupe, now one of the best in England. Several llamas, kangaroos, and a variety of pheasants, imported on Saturday last, are also to be seen in this beautiful retreat. Even though the present season is now far advanced, Mr. Atkins seems to spare no exertion or to miss no opportunity of providing for the ensuing year. SOMETHING NEW.—We would recommend our readers, when passing through Church-street, to cast their eyes into the shop-window of Mr. Roberts, ironmonger, and they will be gratified with a sight of perhaps the most splendid and gorgeous design of a drawing-room stove that ever was produced in this country. It almost bids defiance to all description —so beautifully is it worked, and so free and yet so elaborate is the scroll work, which is in style a mixture of Louis Quatorze and the Eliza bethan. It reflects the greatest credit to both artist and manufacturer. Whether it is to warm and ornament the saloon of Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, or William Jackson, Esq., we cannot positively say. It would be come a palace. MR. WILSON, THE VOCALIST.—This pleasing and popular singer, it will be seen by an announcement in another column, purposes to revisit us on Saturday nest. on his return from a tour on which he has justly gained " golden opinions." We know of no vocalist who con veys to his audience more feelingly and tastefully the beautiful songs and 'melodies of Scotlald, that "Land of brown heath and sh tggy wood, Land of the mountain and the tlood." The explanatory or introductory portion s of his entertain ment are also extremely interesting, and the more so as they are derived from authentic portions of history. We feel assured that Mr. Wilson will receive a hearty wel come by all classes of our townsmen and fair townswomen. PLAN OF RAPID COMMUNICATION BY STEAM NAVIGATION AND RAILWAYS BETWEEN Tina EASTERN AND WESTERN HEMISPHERES. In an age like the present, when science and enterprise are so strongly put into requisition for the promotion of commerce, by improving our present intercourse with foreign lands, and, if possible, opening out new channels for the profitable disposal of the surplus productions of our industrial population in countries hitherto estrange& from us by distance, or otherwise difficult of access, any plan that may appear to be practicable, though but crudely shadowed forth, is worthy of the serious consideration of the statesman and the merchant, and (if it be borne in mind that in semi -barbarous lands civilisation will follow in the wake of friendly intercourse) also of the philosopher and the moralist. But a scheme having this grand desi deratum for its object recommends itself doubly to our attention when it emanates from a man of talents, travel, and no little practical observation of the yet undeveloped resources and treasures of many foreign lands, and espe cially of those comprised within the two vast American continents. We have now before us a work, (which has given rise to these remarks,) entitled " Suggestions towards a general plan of Rapid Communication by Steam Navigation and Railways; shortening the time of transit between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres." It is fram the pen of Edward M'Geachy, Esq., crown surveyor, Jamaica, and is addressed, in a prefatory letter dated March last, to Sir R. Peel, Bart., the then prime minister. The wri ter, (who so far back as 1831, when in England, conceived the idea of a comprehensive plan of ocean steam commu nication across the Atlantic especially, and has now the satisfaction of seeing some of his views fully realised), af ter alluding to the daily increasing intercourse between the Old and New World, states that the Americas possesa mines of wealth )et unexplored, and millions of people unemployed, who may look to the influence of resources of science to provide a field for their labour, while Europe would be at the same time benefitted. His plan, which has been most favourably received by Lord Elgin, gover nor of Jamaica, and other distinguished parties in our co lonies, &c., is " the establishment and general junction of railway an steam communication throughout all available parts of the Western World, on a scale sufficiently exten sive to me , t the wants and convenience of every place." He states that the time in travelling by this plan between some parts may be shortened by nearly one-half. The general feature is rapid steam-ship communication to and from the most favourable'points in the Americas and the West Indies, with continuous routes of railway coast wise, or across certain tracks of transatlantic country, so as to form chains of communication as direct as possible, to and from Panama, Jamaica, &c., along the seaboard of the United States and part of Canada, the rail alternating with the ocean high way in rapid succession. So, at least, we understand bis plan to be. The countries and porta within its scope are the West Indies, the Pacific, North arid South America, and Europe generally. The great points of concentration are Panama, Jamaica, Havana, Tampa Bay, (in Flo rida,) Charleston, (and Bermuda,) Washington, Balti more, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Halifax. From the latter place, Valencia, or Bantry Bay, in Ire land, (the nearest point in Eurooe,) would be reached in seven or eight days. Additional steamers will, he consi ders, ere long, sweep the Pacific from China to Chili into this great focus, and by ut.iting all these lines, (through alternate steam-ship lines arid railways,) the author's plan becomes apparent. We have already steam commu nication with many of the principal places, centering in Panama. He is of opinion that additional steamers will, ere long, be employed, and that they will sweep the entire Pacific from China to Chili into this great focus, " which there can be little; doubt will be shortly opened to the world, and then a safe and easy passage from ocean to ocean may be effected in a few hours." He adds on this point, that he himself four times crossed the Isthmus in. 1845, in company with Captain Liot, (General Super intendent of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Com pany,) of whose project he fully approves, but our author unfortunately omits to state what that project is, (though we presume it to be a railway,) and •we have not seen Captain Liot's scheme in print. From the Isthmus there is already a direct line by the West India mail steamers to Jamaica. At this latter point numerous lines are concentrated—namely, to Cuba, Mexico, the Windward Islands, Demerara, Bermuda, and England, and, finally, to the United States, by additional steamers proposed to be put on, and thence northward, by railway, to Halifax. He states of the proposed American coast line :—" From Kingston I propose a line of railway to the west end of Jamaica ; thence, by steamer, to Batabano ; thence, by rail, to Havana. From the Havana a steamer to Tampa Bay i • thence a continuous railway to Halifax. - A great part of this line is already made, and much of the remainder is in contemplation by American companies." The engineering difficulties (be adds) for a railway from Tampa Bay to Halifax are of a minor character. The writer states the probable time that would be occupied in travelling by the proposed lines :—From Canton to Pa nama (the voyage four to five weeks) ; Panama to Jamaica (four days) ; Jamaica to New York (six days), —so that from Canton to England may be estimated at about nine weeks. Taking the rate of steamers at ten miles an hour, and railroad at thirty, he gives the (maximum speed as follows: HOLM. From the City of Kingston to the west end of Jamaica will be about 5 Thence to Batabano by steamer, about Batabana to Havana by railway, d 0.... ... Havana to Tampa Bay by steamer, d0.. Tampa Bay to New York by railway, do. Jamaica to New York, do. .... New York to Halifax, d 0... Jamaica to Halifax about.. Days Hours. or 6 5 Halifax to Valencia, or Bantry Bay 8 0 Jamaica to Ireland . Our author foresees some objections to transhipments, but these are unavoidable on so lengthened a line, and he considers the inconvenience will be greatly reduced by the improved arrangements of railway and water communica tion. Passengers, he conceives, would be the chief source of profit. The traffic of New Orleans would pass over the great coast line, and the immense countries on the Mississipi &c., on the south, and Hurin and Erie north, would largely contribute to support this grand railway. He is also aware that to carry out the great objects con templated, combination and harmony of action is re quisite, in companies and establishments, and in the different governments. The manner in which this can be best effected, he leaves to others to discuss: but so far as governments may be concerned, we think little apprehension need be entertained of any obstacle being thrown, at least permanently, in the way, should it appear that the scheme would be of mutual benefit. The only temporary hinderance would be in the event of war between any of the respective states. The author's views extend also in an equally comprehen sive plan to South America, especially the Brazils, to be connected with Europe by steam ship transit to the west ern point of Africa, and thence by rail along the coast to Gibraltar. The voyage from Brazil to that point, could. he states, be accomplished in five or six days. THE SMALL DEBTS ACT. The Law Times gives an estimate of the encroach ments upon the emoluments of the profession which will be made by the operation of the new Small Debts Act. From statistical accounts of the issue of writs of sum mons out of the Court of Queen's Bench, Exchequer, and Common Pleas, the total annual issue is estimated at 116,685, for the year ending 10th May last. More than halt of these were for sums not exceeding £2O. The operation therefore of the Small Debts Act will be to carry off from the superior courts 58,342 actions, or one-half of their present business. The profits upon' writs of summons may be estimated at an average of £1 Is. Thus at the first step the profession will be de prived of an item of £61,252. 01 the writs issued but a small proportion proceed to trial. Taking into account such as drop in various stages, out of a total of 11,668 actions, the actual trials may be estimated at only about 716. Of these also one-half will be swept away by the new act. Taking the several profits arising at yari ;at stages, the profession will be deprived of 5,824 declara tions, yielding a profit of £11,668 ; of 2,917 pleas, £4.375 ; of 716 notices of trial, &c. yielding £1,432, and of 358 trials, yielding £1,790. The total /ass to the profession, therefore, by the operation of the act, will not be leas than EIGHTY THOUSAND POUNDS per annum. Against this, however, must be placed the 15s. allowed upon actions tried in the new courts, as a sort of set off, the Law Times considers that it can seircely be admitted to be such. There are (says the editor) about 8,000 attor neys in England and Wales, and distributing this loss amongst them, it will average to each the sum of -610 per annum. But it is not so divided. It will fall upon e section, and the first and greatest sufferers will be the London agents,—to some firms equivalent to a reduction of many hundreds per annum. The calculations given by the Law Times are intended not to excite vain regrets, but to make out the case of the solicitors against the certificate duty. " They prove (says the editor) that the law bas deprived them, without compensation, of emolu ments very nearly similar in amount to the tax specially imposed upon them by the legislature in consideration of those emoluments. The argument is unanswerable ; such a plea cannot be traversed." RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A railway carriage in the Lon don train which left Liverpool on Sunday morning, was found in the act of taking fire, and was removed for the safety of the passengers. BE CAUTIOUS IN Caowns.—On Saturday a young man of the name of John Taylor was committed for trial for stealing a pocket book from the pocket of Mr Horatio Shannon, whilst the latter was looking at the 3d Buffs go ing through their evolutions ou the Exchange flags on the previous day. CAUTION TO PAWNDROKERS.-011 Saturday, at th e Police-court, a washerwoman was fined 40s. for having pledged several articles which she had been given to wash. The pawnbroker applied for the an,ouct he bad advanced on the articles, but Mr. Rushton said he would not allow one farthing, because be had taken in some articles; which were marked with the names of the owners. THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—The committee ap pointed by the recent great conference in London " to as— certain and convene the members of the Alliance in the united kingdom of Great Britain and Inland, in order to form the British organisation at a time and place to be determined by them," have fixed upon Manchester as the place, and WedLesday, the 4th of November, as lke for that purpose. THE AT&L ROYAL, ADELPHI.—It will be seen that Mr. Lynn, a talented tragedian, whose life-like ebaracteve we have frequently noticed, takes his benetic this evening. Mr. Lynn plays Claude Melnotle, in the "Lady Henry IV. in the historical p l a y of that title, and also of Lyons," delivers a n a dd ress on t h e pres ent stare of the drama in Liverpool. Miss A. Homer is also annanneed to R Wife." The performa n ces will conclude with "My Neighbour's Oct. 20, l 8-16;) DESTRUCTION OF ST.

The Cargo of each Vessel from any Foreign Port entering and using any of the said Docks or Basins, shall be received, weighed, and loaded off, by one set of Porters only, who shall be in the employ, and under the direction and orders, of one of the authorised Master Porters. The Master Porters are required to act, as far as practicable, in regular rotation. Every Master Porter, upon receiving Goods from any Vessel, is required to give immediate notice to the owner or consignee of the goods, and to proceed, without delay, in weighing and loading off the same, unless the Owner or Consignee of the Goods shall give notice to such Master Porter that the same Goods, or any part thereof, are to remain on the Quay ; and all Goods shall be loaded off, and removed from, the Quay within 48 hours next after the time in which the same shall have been landed. And in case such Goods shall not have been removed, as aforesaid, the Dock Trustees may warehouse the same in any Warehouse, whether belonging to the Trustees or not, and such Goods may be detained in such Warehouse, as security for all expenses payable to the Master Porters, and for all rents, rates, and expenses, payable to the Trustees, or to the Owner of the Warehouse in respect of such Goods, and for the payment of the Freight of such Goods, upon notice to detain the same for such Freight. Every . Master Porter, after receiving Goods from any Vessel, is required to receive, weigh, and load off, all the Goods from such Vessel.

Any if aster Porter may be prohibited from acting, or con tinuing to act,. as a Master Porter, for such period and such cause as may render such proceeding necessary. Any person acting as Master Porter in receiving, weighing, and loading off, or in employing or directing any Porter to receive, weigh, or load on; any Goods, without having given to the Trustees a Bond, with two sufficient sureties, will incur a penalty, not exceeding ..t'so, for every such offence. Additional or substituted persons will, from time to time, be appointed Master Porters, as occasion rally require. By order, DANIEL MASON, Secretary.
