THIS Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a Floating Dock and Harbour at Silloth Bay, in the SolwayFrith, on the Coast of Cumberland, and connecting the same, by a Railway twelve miles and three quarters in length, with the Port Carlisle Railway, and so with the Junction of the Caledonian, Lancaster and Carlisle, and Newcastle and Carlisle Railways, at Carlisle, twenty-one miles distant. A safe Port on the North-West coast of England, where Vessels may enter and load and discharge at all times of the tide, has long been required—the other Ports on that Coast, as Whitehaven, Workington, Maryport, and Port Carlisle, being dry harbours, and only accessible at tide time. Sißoth Bay, in the Solway Frith, and distant about twenty-one miles from Carlisle, is peculiarly well situated for the construction of Floating Docks, and a Harbour ac cessible to Vessels at all times of the tide, night as well as day, being a safe anchorage, with deep water close to the shore, in, which large vessels may ride the whole of the twenty-four hours -the depth of water at low water of the highest spring tides being from three-and-a-half to five and-a-half fathoms. A Railway is now in course of construction from Carlisle to Port Carlisle, which will be completed early next year, and which at Drumburgh, eight miles and a-half distant from Carlisle, will be within thirteen miles distance from Silloth Bay. It is proposed, with the concurrence and under the sanction of the Port Carlisleßailway Company, to take advantage of this, and to construct a Floating Dock and Harbour at Silloth Bay, and connect the same with the Port Carlisle Railway, by a line of Railway twelve-and three-quarter-miles in length, joining the Port Carlisle Railway. at Drumburgh, thus making the whole distance from Silloth Bay to Carlisle twenty-one miles. A large and increasing trade is carried on by Newcastle and the other Ports on the East Coast of England, with the West coast of England and Ireland, which the existing Ports on the "West coasts are quite inadequate to accommodate. A great part of the traffic is now conducted in sailing vessels round the South of England or North of Scotland, the former being a distance of about 1,000 miles, whilst if goods carried across from Newcastle to Silloth Bay by railway were shipped there, the distance to Ireland would be under 200 miles. The important and increasing City of Carlisle is now one of the greatest railway centres of the kingdom, the Lancaster and Carlisle, the Caledonian, the Glasgow and South-Western, the Newcastle and Carlisle, and the Mary port and Carlisle lines all meeting there, and another lino from Hawick to Carlisle, in continuation of the North British is also in contemplation. The projected Harbour at Silloth Bay would be the nearest deep-sea harbour to this great centre of railways, and as the Solway Frith in which it is - situated runs up so far into the land, as a glance at the Map of England will show, the Carlisle and Silloth Bay Railway, with the Port Carlisle and Newcastle and Carlisle Railways 'would form a direct Railway connection between the Ger man Ocean and the Irish Sea at the narrowest part of the Island. The Harbour at Silloth Bay would thus afford the readiest and best Port for the coal, coke, and manufactures of Newcastle and the surrounding a district sent to, the Irish market. Steamers would also be enabled to ply between Silloth Buy and the ports of Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast, and other ports, by which short and easy passages would be afforded at regular hours, quite independent of the tides. It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a Floating Dock, at Silloth Bay, of about four acres area, which would serve as an Entrance Basin to Docks of a larger area, to be constructed when the increase of trade should require them. The Line from Silloth Bay to Drumburgh, on the Port Carlise Railway, would pass through a fine agricultural country, and a considerable income from local traffic and passengers may safely be anticipated. A single line only will be laid down in the first instance, but sufficient land will be taken and works constructed for a double line when the same may be found necessary. The landowners are in general strongly in favour of the line, and some of them are upon the Provisional Committee, and promoters of the under taking. The country through which the line passes is per fectly flat and level—there will be no heavy earthwork or expensive works of any kind—and it is estimated that, allowing liberally for all contingencies, the total costs of the Railway, including the purchase of land, will not exceed £65,000, being at the rate of £5,000 ,per mile. Contrac tors of undoubted respectability are ready to undertake the construction of the line for this sum. The Estimates for the Dock and Harbour have been pre pared by Mr. J. B. Hartley, of Liverpool , w ho h as h a d grea t . experience in the planning and carrying out of such works. They amount to £60,500. The total estimated cost of the works will thus stand as follows Cost of Railway £65,000 Cost of Dock and Harbour Parliamentary and Preliminary Expenses and Contingencies £135,000 The sources of traffic have been carefully inquired :into, and fully tested by persons'extensively engaged in shipping and manufactures, and in every way competent to make a correct estimate of the various kinds of merchandise that will enter the harbour and pass over the line. Taking into account thepresent actual traffic from Newcastle to Ireland, now carried by a long sea voyage round the island; and which would be diverted into the new line, together with the local traffic, a minimum return of £2O pe r mile per week may be safely calculated upon for the Railway, which, with the receipts from the Dock Dues, would yield a divi del:4 of upwards of six per cent., after allowing 50 per cent. for working expenses. The undertaking has the cordial support of the Po r t Carlisle Railway Company. . Arrangements will be made with this Company, under the sanction of Parliament, for facilitating the carriage of goods over their line.

THUESDA Y, DECEMBER 22, 1853 WHILE the subject of the Alinisterial arrange ments is yet fresh, and public opinion remains in that state wherein impressibility to facts can mould the fUture decision, we are anxious to offer a few words upon one or two matters which we know to be necessary to the formation of sound results, regarding the present Ministerial changes. And the first is the .Resignation of Lord PAL /iIERSTON. , Now, we have already, upon the best deditc tions which we could form, from the facts commu nicated through what are termed the " ordinary channels of intelligence," expressed our sentiments upon the - noble Lord's retirement. And, however, we may have felt upon-the subject to. which. his friends assured us it has been owing, we .have not concealed our sentiments of the antecedents of the late Home Secretary. We have now, however, such information touching this event as forbids us to harbor an-opinion in the face of a fact. 'lVe are in a position to state, and that upon au thority, that:Lord,P,ALMASTON did separate from his colleagues, not upon the question of Eastetn polities, but upon the question of Reform: And, moreover, that the idea of separation does not ap- pear toThave always influenced him in discussing even -Reform with his Colleagues. And, in fact; We can state most confidently,-that the noble Lord . acted in this instance, under the influence which saved him from ati adverse -rote: of the Commons of England, in the case of Don Pacifica ! What .that. influence i 3, how near him it is, we need not further ~~ ~,i:Z'.7L indicate. Indeed, the conventionalities of society forbid it. • While we are upon this subject of politics, and the cohesion or antagonism of various members of the adininistration, we may notice the _report circu lated.in London with great industry —for we find it in the conservative and liberal journals simultane ously—that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was about to-secede from the administration, and that he , like LORD PALMERSTON, was opposed to the scheme of reform contemplated by,the Cabinet—and, indeed, it is broadly intimated, that the Right Hon.. Gen tleman is' opposed to all further representative We have ,the highest assurance for saying that this statement is totally and entirely fabulous reform; The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is not opposed to Reform in the Representation. He has not► therefore, intimated any intention of separating from his colleagues upon that question. We may add that he has no intention of abandoning the Aberdeen administration, of which he is a principal light and ornament; and towards which he bas in an eminent degree secured the good opinion of the best men in the Empire. Whatever differences of opinion may exist in the Cabinet, as at present constituted, we can say with the utmost confidence that they have no reference whatever to the proposed measure of Reform. And this is the second matter upon which we are desirous that facts should supersede fiction. THE late alarming mortality which has taken place on board emigrant ships from this port, naturally enough has given rise to a variety of conjectures as to the cause. Ship-owners and ship brokers, captains and prevision-suppliers,, have each and all come in for an undue and unmerited share of condemnation, as if to their negligence and indifference were to be attributed wholly and solely the cause of the calamity. Generally in such cases the censure falls most where it is least deserved, whilst the origin of the evil remains un traced and misunderstood. In our impression. of yesterday we published a well-written article on this very subject from the New York Courier and Enquirer ; and we must say that .the._ views propounded and the :explication given by our contemporary fully agree with those we ourselves entertain, and seem to us far more rational, logical, and .conclusive than the arguments adduced by others in support of their groundless theories. Much as the excessive mortality on board emi grant ships is to be regretted, we should, neverthe less, exercise great caution and consideration be fore•We lay the blame at anybody's door. Nothing could be more unreasonable than to suppose that the owners and agents of those vessels would be so regardless of their own interests and' character as by any conduct of their's to render themselves obnoxious in public estimation, and amenable to the laws of their country. We speak not At all of the humane feelings and sympathies , by which most men are actuated, and which alone would be . sufficient to prevent the pos sibility of such •an occurrence. We take quite different grounds. Arguing from self-interest alone, 'we say it is absurd to think that those whose direct advantage it is to afford. emigrants every comfort possible to procure, would for a little paltry saving, or from sheer negligence, suffer their vessels to put to sea ill-provisioned, or ill-adapted for the direct purposes for which they are tended. Ship owners •and agents know very well that if their vessels obtain a bad name, it would be inimical to their interests, and become seriously detrimental in A pecuniary point of view. They know that there are government inspectors to exa minetheir ships and to report accordingly. If all the necessary appliances are provided, and all suitable arrangements made, well and good. If not , they must abide the consequences. They know, likewise, that any passenger, has it in his or her power, if there be any just ground for complaint, to go before a magistrate, upon the arrival of the vessel taller destination, and seek reparation, for the wrong. i Under all these circumstances we take it, that it is not possible for the owners and agents of ethigrant vessels to be so wilfully blind to their own profits and characters, as by any means to countenance or connive at imposition of any kind. Their direct interest is to promote the health, com fort, and convenience of the emigrants : and we have every reason to believe that in nearly every instance they perform their duty honourably, effi ciently,- and well. The captains and officers of emigrant ships have exactly the same inc'ntives to promote the welfare of the passengers. Their interests likewise are atstake• Indeed, perhaps they are not only less . tenacious but more fastidious on this matter thin either the owners or brokers. Clippers invariably take no little pride to themselves when their ships and pas sengers all reach port in excellent " trim." Such circumstances add to the weight of their character, a. nd raises them higher in the owners' estimation and the public confidence. 'Tis not likely that com manders of emigrant vessels would adopt a policy fatal to their best interests, and even hazardous to f eir own safety: •If• thro ugh their culpability contagious disease • should' break out on board ship, their own and their officers' lives are just in as much jeopardy as that of the meanest emigrant. The true cause of this fearful mortality must be traced to other and far different Sources ; in fact to the emigrants themselves !. This ,is the cause assigned for the calamity by our New York con temporary, and we fully and conscientiously agree with him. A very large emigration takes place from this port to America. The emigrants are mostly Irish and German people •of the lowest class. Their habits are filthy in the extreme ; and quite enough to engender disease anywhere much more, within the narrow limits of the " between decks" ola ship. ImMediately upon getting down the channel they betake themselves to their berths, and continue thas.stove up, stewing and fretting oughouti the voyage. Too indolent to exert themselves they allow every kind of 'filth to ac cumulate until poisonous, vapour and:deadly mias ma are produced, which acting upon systems, ; already much enfeebled, effect the results we so deeply deplore. - The " finest and best victualled and ventilated ship, that ever sailed would not be safe with emigrants so neglectful of personal clean liness and even decency. The emigrants should be made to feel this. But unfortunately they know nothing of sanitary laws, or the nature of the penalty which must invariably ensue from their violation. The captain of a ship, cannot do much in preserving attention to cleanliness where the emigrants amount in number to eight or nine' hundred. Besides he has not that authority dele gated to him which he once had ; and he has quite. enough to do in' attending to his nautical duties and in .directing his crew. We are not at all sur 7 prised under such circumstances that the mortality on board emigrant vessels should be so excessive.. To us the only wonder is that so few have fallen victims to pestilential disease, considering the active agencies so indefatigably at work. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. We shall return to this subject, and in subse quent articles show what is really required to pre. Tent the evil. THAT portion of the President's Message to the Congress of the United States, which relates to the Reduction of the Tariff, is of the most imme diate importance to the trade of Great Britain. As a concession to the Free Trade policy of England, a modification of the American tariff can scarcely be overrated in a political point of view. By extending great principles, the most enduring institutions become consolidated. The legislation of one country ceases to be experi mental when its views are recognised and adopted by the matured perception of other nations. The Protectionists of America, and the most rabid monarchists of Europe, both united in the most solemn protestations against the Free Trade doc trine of England. Every nation was taught to believe that Free Trade was a means whereby England must rob all the rest of the world, and thus our amiability of purpose would be accom plished before any one could be aware of. the hidden depths of the design. But, lo ! on a sudden, men begin to find that the first Free Traders are taking the lead in the world's com merce —and what is the result? The Zollverein have modified their tariff--France has reduced her import duties—Belgium, in obedience to her growing necessities, has reduced her import duties on coal Brazil is also preparing for extensive measures of Free Trade —and the United States now find that they need a relaxation of the fiscal burthens on trade and commerce, more perhaps than any other people in the world. The President of America points to Free Trade as almost the only means by which the springs of artificial productions can be kept in motion. " The plan sug " Bested by the Secretary of the Treasury is to "reduce the duties on certain articles, and to add "to the free-lists many articles now taxed, and "especially such as enter into manufactures, and are " not largely, or at all produced in the country, is " commended to candid and careful cOnsider. " ation." Here is a triumph for the men of Man chester. They have established a principle of political economy, on which alone one of the first nations of the earth can hope to continue its progressive greatness ! Surely, " Protection" and " Protectionists" will become by-words ever after this. But to comprehend the real and solid advantages which must accrue to the whole of the British Empire from this vast extension of Free Trade , would be utterly impossible, as our past experience is confined simply to -the actual amount of our trading transactions with other States, under a restrictive regime. Yet when great organic changes take place in the systems which surround us, certain deductions may be made, and all ra tional conclusions have a certain value. The changes which are about to be made are exclu sively in favour of industry, which, as a matter of course, is to be rewarded and sustained by increased production. Hence, then, commences the world's race of competition ; and those who can produce at the lowest cost will derive the largest profit. If we admit this as a truism, we must also . view America as a rival of the greatest magnitude. .She enters the great circle of competition with an able supply of the precious metals; and with a national debt of 56,486,708' dollars, or about 11,.297,3411., which comparatively small sum is "in course of liquidation." Now if she owes say 12,00 0,0001., the interest of which amounts annu ally to 600,0001., and if England owes 800,000,000/. the . interest of which amounts annually to, say 26,00 0,0001., the Americans can prodUce a quantity equal to that of England, at 25,400,000/4er annum less than we can, taking into account, simply the amount of taxation, which enters into the cost of prod uct i on i n t h e two countr i es. This strikes us as the point w hi c h assumes t h e greatest i mpor t ance, w h en we come to deal with the ad opt i on o f Fr ee Trade by foreign countries. It is t rue th a t a l most every. country' has some stapl e production peculiar to itself, which enters in the manufacture of another. The States have their timber and agricultural products, and England has her metals and minerals. These are commodities which will at all times sell at prices which will be. regulated by, supply and demand, irrespective of the amount of taxation which enters into 'their production, America wants at the present moment 70,000,000 dollars worth of iron for , railways. BUt the object of her modification of the duties charged on these imports, is to do away with them and to supply .; their place by exports of the very articles she now import's. The, same may be said of France. She wants English coal to enable her to manufacture at a less cost. She also wants about four times, or . abou 1,520,000 tons, more iron than she is capable of producing herself, and she therefore reduces her import duties on these two commodities in order to manufacture for export; and it is not unt we meet these exported articles in our foreign markets that we shall find the advantages they enjoy from the small amount of taxation that' enters into the cost of their manufacture. In viewing the probable and positive effects of such vast changes that are taking place in the •material policy of the greatest commercial countries in the world, our Statesmen will be required to .deal with the question of taxation in such a way as will leave no marginal advantage in favour of the producers in foreign countries over the manufacturers of this. In the meantime, however, we have a.season of commer cial activity before us, which .it is scarely possible to conceive. Looking at the present and growing_ wants of the five count r i es the tariffs of which are to be placed on a Free Trade scale' we see an increased demand for our coal' iron, hardwares, and machinery, to the extent of - 30,000,0001. While the increased production of gold bids fair to be equal Y to 30,000,000/. more, which will flow into the markets for our soft goods. With such enlarged prospects as these before us w e can see no cause for un- easiness as to the future of our trade. And with Such elements of individual and national prosperity in prospectiire we do not Apprehend any great difficulty in bringing about such an arrangement of the fiscal burthens of the State as will enable our producers to hold their position in the mar kets of the world: The subject of taxation, however, is one of such importance, owing to its excessive magnitude, that it is impossible to arrive at sound commercial conclusions without taking it into account and 'weighing its effects upon trade with We have endeavoured so far, under the sense of public duty, to remove obloquy from parties who really, as we conceive, have been most unjustly censured for that over which they had not the slightest controul. Our philanthropic feelings often run away with our better judgments. On the occasion of any terrible calamity, we are glad if we can but lay the blame anywhere. Human nature then becomes appeased. In this respect we act sometimes with - the -impulsiveness and recklessness of the dog which, upon a stone being thrown at him, runs after the stone to bite it, ignorant altogether of the source from which it had,emanated ! THE MINISTRY. (From our Second Edition of Ye3terday.) Every effort is being made to persuade Sir George Grey to accept the Home Office. It is said the adherence of Mr. Gladstone to the Cabinet has become more than doubtful. It is well known that he is opposed to a new reform bill, which would amount to an extreme scheme of disfran chisement. The object of Sir James Graham's vi sit to Osborne is twofold—its first design is doubtless to see how far he can play his game ; and his next purpose, the ostensible one, is to inform Her Majesty that there exists considerable difference of opinion in the cabinet as to the Eastern Ques tion, and that he has been deputed to 'state .and urge the views of that section of the min istry, who .do not think with Lord Aberdeen Sir James will return to town to-day. Ere the close of.the week we shall probably learn whether the break-up of the government be immediate, or whether it can be postponed for a few weeks longer. The Daily News says the rumour a . )out Mr. Glad stone came from the Carlton Club, and met a very , cool reception. COUNTY COURT.- YESTERI).tY. The Court sat at ten o'clock READ V. Mosimitv.—ln this case Mr: JOseph Read,.tailor and draper, of 120, Bold-street, summoned Mr. Moseley. dentist, also of Bold-street, for £3 195., for clothing supplied. Mr. Hughes, solicitor, stated that the real defendant was a young man named Francis Bickley, an assistant of Mr. Moseley, and that this person acknowledged the debt and would pay it on the 15th of January, when his salary fell due. The plaintiff stated that he had summoned Sir. Moseley as the party who got the clothes always represented himself as that gentleman. Under the name of Mr. Moseley he called to the shop and ordered the goods; and the plaintiff stated that he had also received a note from him in which he signed him self Francis Moseley. On the part of the defendant it was stated that several young men who had been in the employment of Mr. Moseley were in the habit of making use of his name. His HONOR expressed a strong condemnation of the habit, and asked the plaintiff whether he had made Mr. Moseley ac quainted with the fact that the young man bad obtained clothes from him under his name. 'rho plaintiff stated that ho always understood the young man to be Mr. Moseley himself. He had only been informed that morning who the real defendant was. His HONOu gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount, to be paid immediately. He added that it was a very gross case of fraud, almost amounting to obtaining money under false pretences, and recommended that Mr. Read should at once inform Mr. Moseley of the practice which had existed in his establishment. No other case of any public importance occurred during the day. THE SOUTH AMERICAN STEAMER:" OLINDA. The Olinda's machinery is being repaired at Queenstown and she may be looked for here daily. During the progres of the voyage out and home, several testimonials were presented to Captain Haram and his officers, among them the following gratifying one after the vessel arrived at Queenstown : On board the S.

Considerable changes in the Brazilian tariff of customs dutiei have for two or three months past been anticipated : the cham bers having in their last session passed a law conferring power on the imperial government to alter those duties; and, though the commercial policy of the empire has from its first existence . as an independent state been that of free trade, some appre hensions existed in our manufacturing districts that the altera tions thus authorised might, to some extent, be of a restrictive or proteCtive character. The last wail Shows. the groundless ness of such fears. A draught of the new tariff has been pub lished, and so far from raising, it materially redtaces, the duties on the principle articles of importation from - England, in many cases as much as from 25 to 30 per cent. The . Proposed alter : - ations were indeed of so satisfactory a character that one of the last acts of the English charge d'affaires, Mr. Jerningham, be fore leavino. Rio de Janeiro, was to press the Brazilian cabi ne t at Once to legalise b the draught it had prepared, *and which pub: Inc opinion had fully sanctioned. This abi:tity to:reduce duties arises from the flourishing . state of the imperial finances and the continued existence of a considerable surplus beyond the ex penditure. A VORACIOUS BOA CONSTRICTOR.—O;I Friday week, Wombell's magnificent collection of wild beasts arrived in this city from Stockton. A few days previous to its arrival in this City a singular circumstance occurred, throwing Charles Dickens' story Of the blanket completely into the shade: Dur ing the cold weather at the beginning of last week the boa eon sttictor, to protect it from the cold, was' carefully wrapped in flannel, and two young crocodiles put beside it, with the object of imparting heat; on the keeper, however, opening out the flannel to look after his charge, to his utter astonishment he discovered that one of the crocodiles had been swallowed by the boa ! This is' considered to be a feat unparalleled in natural his tory.--Durham • " LAmoun. PARLIAMENT."—A public meeting of the operatives of London was held last night, at the Literary Institution, John-street, Tottenham-court-road, to consider the subject of the strikes in Lancashire, and, in -tonnection therewith, "the labour Parliament." Mr. J. Finlen having been called to the chair, said that the object of th e p resen t meeting was to afford substantial and impartial assistance to the men now on strike at Lancashire, where there were 70,000 men out of employment, and on the brink of starva tion. In Preston alone there were 25,000 out of employ, some of whom had struck for an advance of 10 per cent., but he wished to call the attention of the meeting to the fact that out of this 25,000 men, 15,000 only had been assisted by the parties making what they ca ll y a national appeal, whilst the remaining 10,000 received nothing whatever out of the national fund. (Shame.) Those who were sitting at the Old Baihy intended mainly to assist the men at Pres ton, but this wls not in accordance with the requirements or the wishes of the people. If the men at Wigan turned out to the extent of 5,000, they would require similar assistance, as would also de men of Bury ; and for these reasons the amalgamated committee of the Lancashire operatives had determined to afford 'equal assistance to all engaged in the struggle for the rights of labor. He considered that, in order to give eficacy to strikes, it would be necessary to have a "Labour Parliament," and a national re presentation of all trades and from every town, which would obviate the necessity and expense of sending delegates from one part of th 3 country to another, appealing for sup port. (Cheers). By this means assistance would be fairly and equitably afforded 6 ,0 all engaged in the common cause. (hear, hear), capital would soon have less power than it possesses at present, -and labour would meet with its just reward. (Cheers). XL Ellis moved, " That, for the pur pose of pr )vidiug a power to guard' and advance the rights of labour, we hereby sledge .ourselves to render our assis tance to establish as spedily as possible the projected labour parliament." Carried unanimously. Resolutions of sym pathy with the operatives on strike having been agreed, to, the meeting separated, due care. The monetary position of - the United States is - Such ato leave no doubt-as to their power of carrying out all the great works they have in hand, as well as those recommended by the President for the consideration of Congress. A railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean has long been a most popular idea in America,,and now that the government of the States has taken it up, we may look with confidence to its speedy accom plishment. And here again we find another field for the employment of English materials, which must add another very-large item to the increase of trade, at present before us; and, in fact, with six Free Trade countries in existence, and' moved by honorable rivalry, it is impossible to' form the re motest idea of what the greatness of the results may prove MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL• LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY -• xl The London Stock Market opened with in cie d ' e, animation this morni ng, an d at a slight acil.'ty 'but on the entrance of the combined fleet in to ,l Black Sea being announced, the prices ree d" ; and Consols closed heavily at 94 . to 948 - count.
