Gentlemen,l have tasted several times the sample of Im- Perial Green Ginger iVine with which you favoured me, and Vrn. of opinion it is much superior to most home-made Wines. It may, indeed, be considered a good nachic, and, even when taken diluted with water, wi found a safe and very refreshing beverage.—l am, G emen, your most obedient servant, D. MACRORIE, M.D. Duke -street, May 6, 18 IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL. Worcester, March 23, 1846. Gentlemen,—l have tasted (conjointly with others conversant with the qualities of Wines) your Imperial Green Ginger Wine. I have also subjected it to Chemical Analysis. It is in our opi nion a RENVINE ARTICLE, but also as a home-made Wine, one that may fairly compete with any beverage of similar preten sions. ,As a STOMACHIC, 'taken undiluted, it is warm and wholesome, and diluted with water, or added to Lemonade, it is a very s a l u b r i ous an d refreshing drink. —.I remain, Gentle men; 'your most obedient servant, JONAS MAI:DEN. To Messrs. Hiles and Co. E HILS ANO. Most respectfully call the attentio D C n of 'the Public generally to the above Testimonials, from two Of the most eminent Gentle men of the Medical Profession, whose names will be a sufficient guarantee for the article they recommend. H. and Co. also consider it their duty to state to the Public, that in consequence of the very great demand for, and . the ex tensive reputation of, their IMPERIAL GREEN GINGER WINE, several persons have beets induced to imitate their labels on the cork and bottle, and advertise them as Green Ginger Wine. The only GENUINE IMPERIAL GREEN GINGER WINE will have the signature of MILES and Co., LIVERPOOL, on the label covering the neck and cork of each bottle, and all Without will be spurious imitations.

GENTLEMEN, AS the approaching Election of Commissioners for this township is exciting considerable interest on both sides of the whter, and as the great majority of the Ratepayers of Birkenhead have located themselves in the township within the last few years, it appears desirable for their information to take a review of the history of the township, of the causes which have led to its rapid increase, and of the men by whom it has hitherto been directed, and who have hitherto originated the great public works that beautify, and, if properly carried out, will enrich your town, First—As to the persons who first directed public attention to its great capabilities. The first person who saw the commercial caphbalities and foretold the future greatness of fillenhead was the late Mr. W. Laird, who, in the year 18 , established the works on Wal lasey Pool, now carried on • is son, Mr. John Laird. A short residence in Birkenheao o n convinced the late Mr. W. Laird of the great natural 'vantages which Birkenhead possessed for commercial p ooses, and, in the year 1828, that gentle man, in conjun on with Sir John Tobin, employed the late Mr. Telford a • o Mr. Nimmo, with Mr. Stevenson, to survey Wallasey Pool, for the purpose of converting it into Docks— though they could not then be fully developed for want of pro per support from the public. In the same year, in connexion with Mr. Thomas Forsyth,, he laid out Hamilton-square, (so called after a mutual relative of both parties,) with the main streets leading from it, and introduced that complete system of sewerage, which has since been followed out with Such advan tage to the township, and which, more •than anything else, has contributed to make your township the healthy and favorite residence it at present is. Up to this time all the streets had run in the direction of the old Turnpike-roads. TO prevent this great evil, Mr. Laird got Mr. Price, the Lord of the Manor, to employ Mr. Gillespie Graham, Architect, of Edinburgh, to lay out the whole township to a plan, and to sell land by it, giving in the streets, without charge, which secured the main lines being eventually carried out. From this plan, Mr. W. Potter and Mr. Staniforth, on Mr. Laird's recommendation, purchased, in the year 1828, several large parcels of land, in the Bile of prices -street, At this time, therefore, the two great features which distin guished Birkenhead over other towns, viz.—the perfect system of drainage, and the regularly formed streets were established, and its - commercial advantages demonstrated by the eminent engineers employed as before mentioned. About this time also Mr. W. Jackson made his first purchase in Birkenhead, from the late Mr. Laird, of a small piece of land in Cleveland-street. In 1828, the first Chester and Birkenhead Railway was pro jected by the following parties Heyes Lyon, Esq. R. Bryans, Esq. W. Ravenscroft, Esq Sudworth, Esq John Aspinall, Esq. W. Wardell, Esq. Joseph Harrison, Esq, And others. After a severe parliamentary other application was made t auspices of the following gentle R. Bryans, sen., Esq. W. Dixon, Esq.- C. Bentham, Esq, M. Humble, Esq. John Laird, Esq. J. It. Pim, Esq. W. Stevenson, Esq. And this bill was successfull3 In the year 1833, the first Im was passed. The following nt bill F. R. Price, L.

How these measures originated, by whom they were carried, and who have been throughout and are at present the active promoters of them, I shall now point out to you, and to this part of my letter would wish to call your particular attention; as on the success of those measures, and the energy, good faith, and activity with which they are prosecuted, depend more than on anything else the success and continued prosperity of Bir kenhead.

In the five years previous to that period, during which years the act for establishing a Market;the act for establishing Gas and Water Works, that for making a Park and Cemetery, and that for the purchase of Woodside Ferry and Monk's Ferry had passed, the assessment had only increased from £33,694 to £51,153 in 1843, or an average yearly increase of £3,290 per annum. From 1843 to 1846, during which time the two Dock Commis- increase of .t'23,000, thus clearly proving that, although the in of Birkenhead had been progressing previous to the passing of the Dock Acts, yet that the true foundation of its present prosperity and its future greatness lays in the carry ing out of those successful acts, and of the Railway to Man chester.

In those works Mr. Jackson has no interest, having sold his in .terest in the Dock Company some time ago, and disqualified as a Director. There is another subject on which I should wish to say a few words before I close this rather lengthy letter, and that is the sale of the Township Land. by Mr. Jackson. Among other up, 1846 . , he givesthe.following • - "He declared the principal object in advertising his own land for sale was to enable him to purchase the land offered by the township. It was quite natural that he should dispose of his own dear land in order to purchase a larger quantity of the Commissioners' cheap land." At the same meeting, Mr. J. Laird proposed, Mr. Brownrigg seconded, and Mr. Wm. Laird voted in favour of an amend ment to the effect that the land be sold, and that the Finance Conimittee be empowered to accept eligible tenders for the same. The foregoing statements are made with a view to point out to you that the rise of Birkenhead is not owing to the exertions of any one man, but to the , united exertions , of many—and to show that with the principal works now in progress in Birken head, and the Railway to connect those works with the great manufacturing districts, Mr. Jackson has no connection, and has in two cases, that of the Warehouse Company and that of the Railway Company, disqualified• himself from taking an ac tive part in either.

( Continued from page 3.) the Sea Nymph, I saw her to the larboard of our paddle boxes. After the word was passed to me from the gang way, Peter M'Farlane, the second mate, said—" There are two lights on our larboard bow ; you must port a little more, William." After the Sea Nymph was reported, and before the collision took place, a very short time elapsed. The night was clear, and could not be called dark. If I had been leaving the river at that time, and known it to have been clear, I would have taken cne or other of the shores. By Mr. Myers.—lf I bad been for going down the Rock Channel, I think I would have taken the Cheshire side. In leaving the Clarence Dock, an hour before high water, the action of the tide would have the effect of throwing her head up or across the river for some time. By Mr. Harden.—Two steamers passed us about the breadth of a vessel from us as they approached the dock. One was the Hercules, and the other, I believe, was the Dundalk. it might have been the Foig-a-ballagh. I was called out to port the helm before we came up to these vessels in order to pass them. Did not observe that either of these steamers had to stop her engines to prevent a col lision. There were a great many steamers in the river that night, but I have no doubt the vessel with the lights of which I have spoken, was the one which ran f ou l o f us . Peter M'Farlane (who was examined on Saturday) was recalled and cross-examined by Mr. Harden.—When the light ahead was first reported we were about a minute round the buoy ; at that time we were so close in shore that we could not go safely any closer. The man at the helm said he could not port any more without running the vessel ashore. I was standing close to the side looking over the quarter, right opposite the helm, when I first saw the smoke of the Sea Nymph past the paddle-box. I then saw her starboard light and her funnel light, and afterwards her larboard light. It ap peared to me that she was taking a sheer. She must have been porting her helm. To the best of my knowledge, the Rambler was aground at the moment she was struck ; because, the next day when the tide was out, we found the head-rail on the ground, close to the paddle-boxes. We could not tell whether it was knocked off by the collision ; but there was every probability of it. The ship never moved after she was struck ;'she lay with the same list the whole time. The lead was thrown after we were aground, and not be fore. The night was so light there was no occasion for it. John Walker being sworn, said—l am a fireman on board the Rambler. Just before the collision, on Mon•- day night last, I was standing on the crank hatches. It was my duty to pass the word from the captain to the engineer. I heard the mate sing out to the captain there was a steamer coming out from the docks. After that, I saw her lights bearing on her larboard bow. The captain cried to the steersman to port the helm ; and, shortly after, the captain and the pilot, both at the same time, called out port—hard a-port ;" and shortly after that the captain ordered the engines to be stopped. I passed the order to the engineer, and they were stopped. In about a minute and a-half after, the Sea Nymph struck us. By the Foreman.—Did not see them heaving the lead ; but they might be. The engines were not reversed ; there was no order given to that effect. James Macgregor, engineer of the. Rambler, confirmed the testimony of the last witness as to the stopping of the engines. It was fifteen or twenty seconds from the stoppage of the engines to the collision. By Mr. Hassall.—About two minutes after she struck, I received orders to back her ; and, after about two turns, the captain ordered her to go on as hard as I could ; and he came to me and said, " Jem, stand by the engines as long as you can, we can do no more." I then kept the engines going until I was up to the middle in water. John Brodie, a seaman on board the Rambler, con firmed the foregoing testimony. He conveyed the word " port" from the chief mate to the captain, who after wards transmitted it, by a sailor named Campbell, to the steersman. Thomas Hargardon, pig jobber, a passenger in the Rambler, described the approach of the Sea Nymph, and the circumstances connected with the catastrophe. The only new fact elicited from him was, that the captain of the Rambler told the captain of the Sea Nymph to take his vessel off; and that the latter afterwards stood a mo ment or two, at a short distance, and it was expected that she would take the passengers of the Rambler on board, but she did not. Some conversation took place between the coroner and the legal gentlemen, respecting the witnesses to be called, in the course of which, Mr. Hassell stated that the cap. tam of the Rambler was confined to his house by the inju ries he received, and a medical certificate to that effect was produced. William Daniels, pilot, recalled, said—He hove the lead twice himself; the last time, which was about a quarter past ten, they were in two and a half fathoms; and after that another man heaved it and they were in two fathoms. At the rip-rap it was heaved and the water was three fathoms deep. t he f r h o a m n d : h o e on captainboard a h n e d Ram bler, m pilot - t b o l eßtrh,oebpassed helmsman. the Campbell, ord H e r: s n t o e e - v p ° i f o d r e t evidence was confirmatory, differ. ing only on one point from some of them, as to the vessel being aground at the time of the collision. He believed she was not then aground. Samuel Easter, chief mate of the Sea Nymph, said— Our steamer's engines are of 350 horse power; she was bound for Newry, Point Warren, with a general cargo, and from 80 to 100 deck passengers, and 7 or 8 in the cabin. We sailed from the Clarence Dock on Monday night, May the 25th, at 20 minutes past 10. Captain Joseph Thompson is the commander of the Sea Nymph. The night was fine and clear, and the tide was about three-fourths timid. Helf-na,st nine was the time we were auvertised to sad. After clearing the dock-gates, the tide turned the vessel's head up the river, and her helm was put hard-a-port, in order to bring her head to. We then took our course down the river, so as to clear the vessels at anchor on the '7:hest:tire side. 1 saw the coal hulk in the river, which is stationed off the maga zines, to supply the New Brighton boats with coal; we passed her on the larboard side about a ship's length off ; the hulk is a sort of mark for steamers going out. We then made for the Rock Light, which was three-fourth of a point on the larboard bow; just so that we might give the riprap a buff as we passed her. I was on the forecastle head, and shortly after passing the coal hulk I saw a light coming round the rock, which turned out to be the Ram bler's masthead light. I asked the captain if he saw the light on the starboard-bow ; and he said, " Yes, I do ' • all right." The light came at a tremendous rate round the Rock. When I spoke the light was on the starboard bow. I stood about 100 feet from the captain, and did not hear any command given to alter the course of the Sea Nymph. The next thing I heard was the steam blowing off. In aboutaminute and a half after I spoke to the captain I saw the Ramblers white light on the starboard bow ; and then I became aware that it was a steamer. I had seen no steam or anything before to make me think so. I then told the captain it was a steamer, and that it would be best to keep the helm " hard aport." I did not hear him make any answer, the steam made such a noise. I do not know whether or not he heard me. I then saw the larboard light of the Rambler on our starboard bow, and I could then see she was porting her helm. I could by this time see the full length of the vessels hull, and that she was flying up to the westward with her helm aport. I could also notice our vessel's head going off to the east ward, though it was but slowly, as we had lost a good deal of our way, and were only going four knots through the water. I sung out to the captain again that it was impossible for the vessels to clear, the way they were both going, both helms aport; I did not hear him make any an swer, and in a few minutes the collision took place. We struck her nearly stem on, on the larboard bow. We stopped some seconds entangled together, and after we were clear of her, I went down the forecastle to see if there was any water coming in. I found her stem and cutesater and both bows gone. Both steamers were iron. I told the captain he had better run ashore, or get back to dock, but he would not do that, and ran our bowsprit over the mizen rigging of the Rambler, and asked if he could give any assistance, but I do not know what answer was given. We returned to the basin. If both vessels had continued their course, they could have passed each other, as the Rambler was coming right up the middle of the river. Our vessel was too broad off to clear the Rambler, by putting the helm bard aport. If the vessels had been more ahead of each other, they might have cleared, by both helms being ported, but as it was there was not space enough left to get the head of our vessel properly round. If the Rambler had stopped her engines at the same time that we did, and reversed them, the collision perhaps might have been avoided, but its result could have been very trifling. As we left the dock, the cargo stage fell into it, because it had not been unhooked properly. If the captain made any remark, I did not hear it. I was perfectly sober; I bad not drank a glass of grog for 14 days. The captain was perfectly sober also. About four minutes elapsed after we saw the Rambler, before the collision took place. By Mr. Harden.—lt was quite possible that the Sea Nymph's helm should be hard-a-port at the moment of the collision. It was both porting their helms that brciught the vessels together. . Mr. Harden had been illustrating his questions by refe rence to two small model steamers ; and the Coroner said, as he had been given to understand that had both vessels had their helms ported collision was impossible, the jury must be kind enough to note the manner in which the queries were put. Cross-examination continued by Mr. Harden.—When I first saw the light by the Rock light, it was going to the eastward. The Rambler was then making a broad sweep round the Rock. . At the time I first reported the light to the captain, no collision was apprehended. if the Rambler had held on that course, she would have cleared us by a quarter of a mile. A few seconds before the collision I saw what was going to happen, and drove all the people and some of the hands off the forecastle. I found the mate of the Rambler and others on board the Sea Nymph. I told the mate that they might get on board their own vessel if they liked, when we went up the second time. Our compartments, which were damaged, were full of. water as high outside, and if she had not been built in compartments, she would have sunk and gone down.

RAPID PASSAGE.—The last trip of the Princess Royal steam-ship, from Glasgow to this port, at which she ar rived on Friday, was accomplished in fifteen and a half hours, or at the speed of upwards of fourteen miles an hour.

Facilities for this kind of mischief are afforded by the loose mate rials of the macadamized highways, now so generally in Not a Monday now arrivps but a number of lads are brought before Mr. Rushton for the offence, and he and his brother magistrates appear to be determined to put it down with a strong hand. Yesterday several youths, who had been essaying their powers in this way, were each fined ss. and costs, or, in default, ordered to be imprisoned for three days. Complaints of the nuisance, and of alarm to females and others, in all quarters, have latterly been very general. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES OF SPlRlTS.—Yesterday, at the Police Court, two men—Robert Johnson and Thomas Kitts—were charged with having stolen a quantity of spirits, from a warehouse; and two others—James Kitts, senior, and his son, James Kitts, junior, with having been receivers of part of the stolen property. Mr. Davenport appeared for the Kitts's of the same name, and Mr. Owen for Johnson. The prisoner Thomas Kitts bad been for some time warehouseman to Messrs. R. W. Preston and Co., wine and spirit merchants and rectifiers ; and Johnson was warehouseman to Messrs. Woolley, Bell, and Co., merchants, Rumford-place. The police had, from information received, heed watching the movements of these two parties for some time past. Constable Lloyd said that on Saturday, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, he saw the prisoner Thomas Kitts, come out of a bonded spirit warehouse, in Lann celot's-bev, (of which 'he had the key), and heard him call on Johnson, who was in the street, and to whom he banded a bottle. Police-officer William Cunningham, of the detective force, was with Lloyd at the time, and Johnson was followed and detained . Upon him, besides the bottle given to him, were found several other bottles containing spirits—one of them in his bat. He said, at the time, that he could prove whence he had obtained them, adding (as we understood) that he had got them from the mate of a vessel that bad gone to sea. Lloyd, on apprehending Thomas Kitts, aiso found on him several bottles of spirits ; and proceeding to the house of James Kitts, senior, who is a shoemaker in Eaton-street, Vaux hall-road. He there found several other similar bottles, two of them up stairs, said to be the property of James Kitts, junior. Police-officer Cunningham also searched the house, and got access to all except to a drawer in the kitchen, the key of which he inquired for. The old man said the drawer was his younger son's, who had the key, and was then out. Shortly afterwards the latter, (James Kitts, jun.) who lived next door, entered and brought the key In the drawer some small quantity of spirits, in imilar bottles,.was found, but it was intimated for the defence, that this and the other bad been provided against a christening, which the younger prisoner was about to celebrate. There were produced in court about two dozen and a half of apparently pint sample bottles, a tin bottle, &c.; all of which contained spirits, chiefly rums, with the exception of eight which were empty. One contained rum, much diluted with water. Mr. Preston examined several of the bottles and their contents. but could not swear positively to them, with the exception of one found on Johnson, which contained Guernsey gin, an article in which the firm to whidh he belonged, alone dealt in this town. They had rums similar to those in the bottles, and bottles similarly made of unusual thickness, to avoid breakage. He added that they had lost great quantities of sample bottles, of which he had been robbed over a length of time, and could not account for it. Mr. Rushton said, that the case as against Thomas Kitts and s too plain to admit of a doubt as to the course he should take with regard to them. With respect to the old man and his youngest son (James) he scarcely could divest himself of a suspicion that they knew the spirits found in the house bad been wrongfully come by ; but he should give them the benefit of the doubt that hung upon his mind, and accordingly discharged them. The other two, Thomas Kitts and Johnson, were then committed for trial at the sessions. , hnson w MR.

The course we took on that night was the one usually taken by steamers going out. Lawrence Heagan, seaman on board of the Sea Nymph, stood beside the last witness on the forecastle head, and was on the look out with him ; and saw the light ahead coming round the Rock. It was about two points on our starboard bow ; and on it being repoited, heard the cap tain say " all right." The light seemed to approach us ; and witness did not hear the mate report it again, or say anything about it. Heard the steam blown off, but heard no orders given as he was too far distant. He remained on the forecastle until just before the collision took place. I was driven off. About a quarter of an hour elapsed after seeing the lights before the collision took place. About twelve minutes elapsed from the reporting of the light to the blowing off of the steam. Saw the starboard light broad off, about two points, when the Rambler came round the Rock. _ Timothy Hagan, second mate of the Sea Nymph, was at the wheel ; on leaving the dock he put the helm hard aport, and kept her about north. When they got across with her head on the tide, steamed northward until they reached the coal hulk. Witness did not see anything him self, but he heard of a vessel being ahead. In two or three minutes after, an order was given by the captain to port the helm. Witness did so, and continued porting until the collision, no other order being given. The collision took place about three minutes after first porting the helm. Before he received the order to port the helm, the captain told witness to " steady starboard." Could not say whether the first order given before the vessel was reported ahead. He only put the helm a spoke or two starboard to steady her ; was doing that when witness was ordered to port. By Mr. Harden.—The first order on leaving the dock was " hard-a-port," to put the head of the vessel down the river. When about the coal-hulk, the order to star board was given ; and in a minute or a minute and a half after, the order was given " port," and then " bard-a port." The captain gave the last order vary loud and quick ; witness did so, as hard as he could, and a seaman named Fisher helped him. Had been in the habit of going backwards and forwards for three years, and that was the course they always took against a flood tide. The captain of the Sea Nymph was sober. The Sea Nymph answers her helm readily. By Mr. Hassell.—Were not far from the Cheshire., shore when the order " hard-a-port " was given ; were close to a little pleasure-boat lying at anchor there. It being a quarter to six, a conversation ensued as to the course to be pursued, the coroner being anxious to adjourn. so as_ to .meet the views of the legal gentlemen. and that of the Cheshire coroner ; and it was agreed to meet again at twelve this day (Tuesday), and the court was accordingly adjourned. It was understood that Mr. Churton would adjourn the inquest on the thirteen bodies in Cheshire, which was summoned for to-morrow, until that on Roach and Geoghan was concluded.

The German Gazette of Frankfor from Breslau, 21st ult., that the Jesuits were seeking to obtain a footing in Prussia.

The reason assigned for this horribl e act i s t h at the M orocco troops were advancing on all sides against the Deira, and that he, for the purpos e o f comm i tt i ng to his cause the Alga rine tribes who had emigrated with him into Morocco, had ordered his prisoners, with the exception of the officers, to be shot. INSURRECTION IN PO RTUGAL. — Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the 20th instant. The insurrec tion in the north of Portugal had been successful, owing chiefly to the treachery of the Governor-General (Vm haes), who had consented to an armistice with the insur gents, and to forward to Lisbon a proposition on their part for a change of ministry and a modification in tlic system of local taxation. Upon this intelligence reaching tit metropolis, ministers, no longer able to cope with the revolt, tendered their resignations, which were accepted unconditionally. This occurred on the 17th, and the Queen immediately sent for Count Villareal to form a new Administration. His efforts for twenty-four hours were utterly unsuccessful.
