FRIDAY,.DECE4BER . 30; 1853 TuE extraordinary mortality which has occurred on board thoSe . emigrant ships whiCh left Liverpool . and other English ports for the United States, and arrived 'at their destination during the month of November, has created no small degree of excitement, both on this and the other \ s . i1.19,1f-itltp:#4lantic, • 'Various causes, have been",assgried 'fel: tin:awful calamity—Some affirm ing t,ii'atiXis oving.4 ,- ?Ae cupidity of ship-owners, th tiadittr,43 and i,;c;' Y o f provisions, and 'the, dtley of Vetito4lsl--, Others again *attribute, 4 5. th:tilt' -eful evil 4,4 . 30..:•.e. diametrically opposite, aneasSert that thO filtlit habits of the emigrants theilisel9C4inAßatititeasure tend to produce c9,n tagion, cholOribsinap r aailit , With the latter, view we entirely concur; , and our readers will remember that we have lately endeayckured to,-sul*tantiate it , and to free ship-owners, and others directly con nected with the ethigration movement, from unjust and; as we consider unmerited censure. We. have been,induced to `take up this melan choly - subject in consequence of a leading article which appeared in the Times of Tuesday last, ..wherein the. onus .is cast upon ,those very parties whom we regard as having neither hand, act, nor part in the matter. And certainly, the Thunderer should have looked before he leaped, and not have so recklessly rushed to a conclusion, which seriously reflected upon the humanity, morality, and Chris tianity of some of the most. distinguished 'indivi duals in this and other seaport towns, whose charac ters • for benevolence, philanthropy, and conscien• tiousness stand unrivalled, and can no more be dis puted than that of the Times editor himself. We can easily conceive how his feelings were wrought upon to a high degree of tension after perusing the complaining scrawls of a few captious, querulous, petulant emigrants, who,, at the best of times, are no novices at fault-finding, and who_would be sure to discover causes of complaint, even if_ they had been' furnished with a- passage at one quarter the cost, and had double the accommodation: They complain of the scantiness and badness of provisions ! Poor n;retehes! many of whom came • from that country, • where, as CARLTON says, " starvation is a diversion ;" and who 'seldom have enjoyed a dinner half so substan tial or wholesome as that which is served on board ship.. Wrought upon by the doleful tales of a few emigrants who wrote from -New York, the , Times jumps at once to a conclusion which certainly re-, fleets little credit, upon its - discriminativness and _still less upon its judgment. All connected with Emigration vessels—owners, agents, officers--all come Within its sweeping denunciation. Hear, 0 reader ! the intellectual AUTOCRAT of Printing-house . Square !—" There is a disgusting and repulsive : "uniformity in-the process by which sordid and. "heartless avarice extracts its booty from helplessi "poverty and ignorance. The emigrant_ is shown; " a berth, a shelf of coarse , pinewood, situated "in a noisome dungeon, airless and lightless, ini ",which several hundred persons of both sexes and " all ages are stowed away on shelves two feet one "-inch above the other, three feet Wide, and six feet , " long, still reeking from the ineradicable stench " left by the emigrants of the last voyage, which no , fumigation can remove, no perfume overcome. " Still he dreams that this plank, which he has " bought and paid. for, is his own ; .and only finds, "when thd anchor is up and complaint unavailing, "that he must share his six feet by three with an "unwelcome bedfellow. He finds that cleanliness' is impossible, that no attempt is made to purify " the reeking den into which he has been thrust, " and•that the thirty days' voyage which he was "promised will.not, from the rottenness of the rig ging and the "unsoundness of the hull, be COM • " pletßd in'less than sixty. He is lucky, indeed, if " the provisions correspond to sample, if the, water , be served out according to contract, or if he can " prevail upon the cook, selected from among the "'emigrants, to dress his meals in such a shape that he can eat them without mortal loathing." We say that this is a inost unjust and unjustifiableattack. We Are - always as ready as the Times to advocate .the cause of the destitute and oppressed ; but we are cautious in laying undeserved accusa tions at the rich man's door. We remind himnf his duties—we inform him of his obligations—but . we dare not visit hith with unmerited censure. Emigration is and ever will be attended with disadvantages. Emigrants cannot cross the ocean in a railway carriage. Ships must convey them to other lands. Few that enjoy comforts at home will seek a livelihood abroad. And most emigrants have been accustomed to long and bitter privations. NOw. those who . pay 21. 10s. or 31. for a passage, to New York cannot expect a state apartment on board. • Nor can ship-owners afford to convey emigrants at that low price if there be not a great number of them. Hence all they, can expect is a space sufficient for health, which we maintain most emigrant ships afford that leave -our port. No " sordid and heartless avarice extracts its " booty from helpless poverty and ignorance." If delays occur, they . cannot be avoided. Ships are completely under the control of the elements. And if by reason of contrary winds an emigrant ship be detained on her passage, why the loss extends to the owner and not so much to the emigrant.. The Times says that "the thirty days' "voyage will not, from the rottenness of the rigging " and the unsoundness of the hull be completed in less than sixty," Now we have before us the list of fifteen vessels that left this port during the months of . September and October, the majority of which performed their voyage to New York within forty days—the Calhoun accomplishing it in twenty nine; the Hibernia in thirty, the New World in thirty-four, and the Fidelia in thirty-one days; the longest voyages being made by the Forest King and the arathon, extending respectively to forty-eight and fifty-days. Out of the eight-and twenty emigrant vessels that left the English and Continental ports for New York immediately pre ceding the month of November, the longest passage was that performed by the Corinthian from Havre, and the Marathon from Liverpool, viz. fifty days. The Times has indeed been employing the decimal System with a vengeance ! • That the fruitful sources of pestilential nuisance and dreaded cholera do not arise from the " noisome dungeon, airless and lightless" as the London oracle describes the " between decks" of a_ ship, is clear even upon its own testimony, independent of-the arguments we can adduce frOm other sources. The Times speaks of the com parative immunity of Australian emigration, and alludes to the . Universe which conveyed large num bers _of_emigrants from our own port to the New World in perfect health and comfort, obsery ing that "in these ships, the personal cleanliness " of the emigrant is strictly enforced ; their dor " mitories are cleaned out every day, their food " and eomfort is strictly attended to, and they, are " encouraged, WI even compelled to take exercise. " and inhale fresh air " We thank the Times for that - W . OM' eamt)elled !" 'lt speaks voltirnes as to the sanitary habits of the emigrant, and tacitly and by implication corroborates all we have-previously said' on" the subject. However, as our space for bids us entering any further into the real causes of the calamity at the present, we shall resume the subject to morrow; and proVe from the diaries of the 'physicians of ernigrantShipS, and the testimony of American journalists, that the Times has been wrong in its deductions, and that neither ill-venti lation; dtbr:croNVding, or want of Proper- and sutli ciet food, have produced ouch excessive mortality as we mutually deplore. MINISTERIAL follies are matters with which we deal without mercy. And we care as little for the unites of ministry as we do for the individual frac tions of the great masses moving around us. We warmly and hopefully regard all ; but we do not deify any man or bet of men. The Press, indeed , has a higher —a more glorious mission in 'hand' . As - the bumble. sentinels on the watch-towers of au ever wayward world, we have industry to foster, j.tiEitiee' to. up6ld:tvirtue u) exalt, and vice and hypocrisy to expose to the world's gaze: We may fall shortookthe prompt and efficient - discharge of the onerous duties we . have4alten upon ourselves, but still the spirit shall speak, even where no other power can be invoked. In measuring distance- with the hypocrite or slanderer we will not be nice. He shall have his own space ; but, like other blind bats that venture put, by day, we promise him a place in our collec tion, of the fossil remains of men and things. Still, as . *.re despise cruelty, the trespassers on ,our path need not dread the torture of being transfixed by a pin, or consigned to a lengthened rest in the glass case. Beauties can be preserved without the aid of brass wire orerystal boxes. Per example, when the French contemplated a movemeiat . which was likely to produce pain in the breast •of their adversary, they were silent ; and when they had the life and fortune of the monarch in their 'lambi, .they: politely saluted 'the man they despised and abjured as . a king. Their barri cades were raised against a ministry, - and - not against the man whom the Collective wis dom of a Cabinet could • not control. We are strongly opposed, - however, to that order of news paper scribbling which •attempts to draw a high moral precept from mere vulgar traditions. If great changes are to be undertaken, we ought, as a practical nation, to see that the means are suited to the end. Flying off ,at. ministerial tar gents, or following the steps of our good street folk, is not exactly the course we should adopt in steer ing our little craft through the mazes of political life. We' . would' rather follow the lamplighter through all hiS meanderings, than expose our ig norance, by asking the way to the Palmerston Billet; or, the Albert Arms, through the Aberdeen Tap, or the Downing street Hypogeum. Here we may be. wrong, but yet we, do not belong to . the circle of Political drunkards. Still we deal heavily with the spirit of the times, and while we have our friends, our. foeS, and all those ties which bind poli ticians to life, -we neither quarrel in our cups, nor outrage public decency in our intoxication. We offer this as a preface to the remarks : we are about to make on the attack which has I)een made on Prince ALBERT by our London cotemporaries. The Prince Consort is simply one of th6Se children of fortune; whose good luck- might be surpassed to-morrow by some of the hurnbleSt mortals around us, but while he has used fortune as a friend,we have never heard until 'now of his having abused the stars andjarters which distinguish him from other men. The London Morning Adtertiser, however, has evidently met the ghost of some " stunted corporal " , who has poured the tale of some stiff-necked military malcontent's. horrors into the Editorial box of that notable • journal. But we beg to assure the organ of the metropolitan "tap tub," that all vows made in wine, :or whis. pered _through a pair of grey- 7 -pesitively grey— monsiaches, are not exactly true. And to the sapient correspondent of the Daily Ne=rs•we would recommend the study of that spirit .of fair play, which may be found even in the wild democratic scribes who direct the republican press of the United States: ,If .Prince ALBERT were in the "land of the free " his acts would be openly can vassed, and his accusers Would be named as openly 'as their imputations were made We should have no anonymous correspondents making charges - and entering into a discussion of great national importance, involving both the purity of the Sovereign power, and the moral properties of the State. They would not use a Prince to screen a Mini ster; .nor - allow a Minister to compromise the State to screen itself from the force of untoward appearances. Impressed with the moral rectitude and political honesty of this ultra democratic spirit of the_ age, if we knew half as much :Ls our cotem poraries and their corres . pondents appear to know, we should at once charge facts, - and stand by the consequences of— "The sober zeal " Of age, commenting on prodigious things." Such is not the manner in which the London journals handle their cause; and, we must say, that if their's are the grounds om which the Liberal journals of London hope to carry the public voice with them,—we cannot conceive anything more dastardly or contemptible. As for our selves, our lot has been cast among the mines, minerals, spindles, .and cotton bales of the North, and magi Cally as we should like to find the figures of Royalty touching upon these sensitive com modities, still we should be ashamed to give place itl our columns to such articles as our readers have doubtlessly seen in. the pages . of the Advertiser and Daily News. They are not only worthy of perusal, but they deserve the severest reprobation from the Liberal party in England. Such advo cates do immeasurable mischief, o the cause with which they identify themselves, and no time ought to be lost in giving them to understand that they have:failed in securing the sympathy and support of those who have hitherto sustained them in the position they hold. The Rev. E. Hartopp, Cradock, son of Sir E. C. Ilartopp, is the new principal of Brasenose college, Oxford. "Vigilans Secundus"' calls the attention of Sir James Graham to the unprotected state of the Clyde. The bishop of Kilmore in Ireland, Dr. Leslie, is very ill. He in consecrated in 1812. DEATH OF RAriowirc.—General RadOwitz died at Berlin on Christmas-day, at noon. His death was tranquil, and without pain. A Cabinet Council will be held at the Foreign-office to-day.. • EASTERN COUNTIES AMALGAMATION. —The amalgama tion of this company's system with that of the Eastern union and Norfolk comes into: operation on Monday next. . NEWPORT. ABERGAVENNT, AND HERESFORD • E,AIWAY. —Captain Wynn, the government inspector, has been over this line, and reported it as fit for publie opening, which will take place on Monday. ‘, A VEsszt FOUNDERED,—By the arrival of the Prince, one of the city of Dublin company's steamers, from Dublin last evening, we learn that a three-masted was seen to founder:by the parties on board the Prince, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, about 20 miles of the Irish light. The quarter boats of the Prince were lowered for the purpose of rendering assistance to the crew, but there was such a heavy sea running at the time, that one boat was swamped and the other stove in, consequently no insistence could be rendered. Six of the crew are said to have been saved from the sinking ship by a fishing boat. THE BURIAL SOCIETY.—Last evening a meeting was an nounced to to take place at the Argyle Rooms, Newington, to transact business connected with this society. Long before the time for holding the meeting a large number of the members had assembled, but were refused admittance. This was the cause of much discontent being manifested, and a large body of police had to be in attendance to preserve order. The meeting was postponed, it being stated on a placard, that the room was not large enough to hold all 'those who kid assembled, _ _ NEXT MONDAY IN MANCHEETEE.—New Year's day ha ing an annual holiday in Manchester, and falling, this year on •Sunday, the holiday will be kept on the Monday. The municipll offices in the Town-halls of Manchester and Sal ford are to be closed during the whole of Monday, as are some of the large warehouses ; and the banks are to close at noon on that day. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF GLASGOW.—The screw steam ship City of Glasgow, Captain Wylie, arrived in the Mersey yesterday, from Philadelphia, after a rather protracted passage of 19 days. The City of Glasgow sailed frimn Philadelphia on the 10th 'instant, and encountered strong easterly gales during nearly the whole of the voyage. When three days out, in lat. 38 N., lon. 66 W., her bowsprit was carried away in a heavy sea. The City of Glasgow had a fair number of passengers, and bring.... about £20,100 in specie on freight FURTHER DETENTION OF TRH BALTIC.-oWillg to the thickness of the fog in the river yesterday morning, the United States mail steam-ship Baltic failed in an attempt to get to sea. It was so thick when she got below the Rock-lighthouse, it was found necessary to come to anchor. The , Baltic has on board 80 passengers, a full cargo, and the usual mails. She proceeds to sea as soon as the weather clears. HEALTH COMMI7'TEE—YEsriiDA.ic: Thenstial weety meeting of this committee was held on yesterday, Mr. LANOSDALE, in the chair. Other members present—Messrs. Beckwith, Moss, God frey, "M'Nicoll, Johnson, Fleming, Stewart, Henderson, Hodson, Roberston Gladstone, and Halhead. Mr. FRESH reported that the nuisance complained of by Mr. Laird, would be totally removed by Mr. Rose in a month or six weeks. He is removing the heap at the rate of 200 ions it week. ° t. A minute WAS made to the effect that Mr. Rose should be required to have the heap entirely removed by the 20th of January. The MEDICAL OFFICER reported that the progressive de crease of the temperature has been accompanied, as in the previous four weeks, with a corresponding increase in the mortality from diseases of the lungs, which, as well as the_ general mortality of the borough, was greater during last week than in any week of the ten months preceding. The deathsfrom all causes were 262, being 15 more than in the week previous, and 26 more than the average of the same• week of the preceding six years. The deaths from diseases of the lungs, were 129, being nearly one halfof the total morta lity, and more than in. any week with one exception of the six previous years. The deaths from other diseases were 55 above the average, and if this excess were deducted the mortality from all other causes is shown to have been last week 29 below the average of the corresponding week of former years. From zymotie diseases the deaths were 66, about the average number. They include 15 from hoop ing cough, 14 from typhus, 5 from cholera, 4 from diarrhoea; 3 from scarlatina, .2 from measles, 2 from syphilis, 1 from influenza. No death was reported from small pox. _Delirium tremens was fatal to a male, aged 35. The injurious influ ence of the extreme cold upon persons in advanced life is shown by the fact that the death above the age of 60 amounted to 42, a greater number than in any previous week, with one exception, since January, 1848. The mean temperature of the week was 37 3-10ths degrees—three de grees below the average of the same week of the preceding seven years. The wind blew from south-east to north-east 'nearly throughout the week. Rain fell on two days to the extent of 9.looths of an inch. The medical officer sub witted to the committee a letter received from the general board of health, with documents showing the advantage, in a pecuniary as well as sanitary point of view; of substituting. Water-closets for cesspools. _The board of health, in the communication referred said that the mortality of Liverpool was 48 in 1,000. To this the MEDICAL OFFICER replied that it was not more than 34 in 1,000. That the number of deaths last year was, as nearly as could be ascertained, 11,150, out of a population of 309,000, _showing that on au average the mortality was only, a fraction, above .28 in 1,000. Mr. HODSON observed that Liverpool had become, from one of the most unhealthy, one of the most healthy towns in the kingdom ; and it was exceedingly bad taste on the part of the board of health to send down their officer to institute inquiries here, when they were absolutely in a worse position in London than in Liverpool. The MEDICAL OFFICER remarked that the board of health probably fell into their error by taking the deaths of the borough, and the population of the parish of Liverpool. Mr. RistrroN the building surveyor reported the inspec tion of 110 delapidated privies and ashpits, 92 of which were undergoing alterations and repairs, and 18 of which required such, together with various other details in his department. Mr. I\ EWLANDS the borough engineer reported numerous particulars of the work done and in hand in his depart ment, and Mr. FRESH the inspector of nuisances reported the empty ing of 1161 cesspools, the inspection of 71 nuisances com plained of by inhabitants, and the reference of 38 others to the borough engineer for remedy by drainage, &c., with a detail of the other operations of his staff, including- particu lars of a sanitary examination of 409 court houses, and 235 cellars, formerly cleitred of inmates in the lower parts of the town; and from which it appeared that the sanitary officers had made special examination during the week of 884 dif ferent apartments in street houses, 1115 rooms in court houses, in the districts named for the purpose of eradicating unhealthiness therefrom, besides the cellar inspections above named. Orders were given to take steps to compel the cleansing and purification of 163 houses reported to be in a filthy and unwholesome condition. Mr. Fuzsn who reported that John Rose is fulfilling his contract in the south part of the town, and that 2000 tons of the old deposits complained of by Mr. Laird had been removed, and the remainder is going away at the rate of two hundred tons weekly. Mr. Rose has at a great expense ex cavated another place for boats, aad where the south manure will during the remainder - of his contract be tipped from his carts into the boats and be at once taken away. ~::~> THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. NEW SANITARY BILL. Mr. STEWART, as chairman of the parliamentary com mittee, brought up the new sanitary bill and explained some of its principal clauses. He observed that the town clerk was anxions that it should first meet with the approval of the committee before it was laid before the council generally. Mr. Stewart being almost— inaudible at the reporters' table We could not fully catch his observations, but we understood him to say that in every building . to be erected the owner should be compelled to drain it into the main sewers, the latter to be made at the expense‘of the town. Mr. GODFREY asked if the building societies and other large owaera of property. bad received copies of this bill ? They were most deeply interested in it, and it would be better to obviate any objection at the outset, than to en counter a parliamentary opposition. Mr. STEWART said he felt sure that those parties, if not already aware, of the principal features of the bill, would very soon be in possession of it; and he also felt sure that instead of being a further burthen to the owners of cottage property, it would be a benefit to them. Mr. M‘Nzeou, wished to know how it would be with a party building a house some 400 or 600 ft. from the main sewer,— w dr h a eth ? er or not he should be compelled to build a connecting Mr. STEWART (as we understood him) replied that the compulsion would only be in the case of a house 30 feet from such main sewer. The BOROUGH. ENGINEER observed that the compulsory powers of the bill would not apply in any case until the council took the initiative. Mr. JonistsoN moved that the bill be accepted and approved by the committee. Mr. HODSON seconded the motion, whichlvas unanimously adopted. ,(It seemed to be the wish of the committee that the bill should be placed as soon as possible in the hands of each member of the council, in order that they might have time to consider its principles.) Mr. Moss observed, in reference to the Lancashire and Yorkshire extension bill, that while the committee were pre pared to oppose in order to have a proper locus standi before the parliamentary committee, they were not, at the same time, indisposed to grant to the company proper facilities under wholesome regulations—such facilities as were required for their increasing traffic, and the convenience of the town. Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE again urged upon the com mittee not to lose sight of the opportunity they now bad for compelling the railways to carry away the sweepings of the town at a moderate rate. A memorial was read from Mr. Balls and Mr. Sainsbury, inspectors of the north and south districts, praying for an increase of. salary. They stated that their predecessors had larger salaries, with less duty than they have. The CRAIRMAN observed that the predecessors of the inemorialists had the one £164 10s. and the other £l6O a year, while the present officers had but £l3O a year each. Mr. GODFREY observed that they had increased the salaries' of those men within the last year, and that it was too soon to make any further addition. Arr. BEmcwrrn said that ability should be no question of time: He 'should, however, have opposed the 'application on principal if there had not been an understanding when the memorialists wore appointed that twelve months should not go over their heads until their salaries were increased to something like those of their predecessors. Mr. GODFREY denied that there was any such under standing. The &AIRMAN replied that there was. Mr. Moss moved, and Mr. HALITEAD seconded, that the salaries be raised from £l3O to 450. The motion was adopted mem con, The CHAIRMAN said that a memorial from the inhabitants of the neighbourhood had been forwarded to the mayor in reference to the vacant land near the Islington market. They complained of the annoyance they experienced from itinerant preachers holding forth there, and also from exhibitions of "Punch and Judy." Mr. Moss declared himself the advocate of "Punch and- Judy," (laughter) and contended that the exhibitors of that immortal couple should not be prevented from following a proper calling. - Ifr. HonsoN thought that the greatest - nuisance was the preaching vagabonds (laughter) and the nut shooters. No resolution was come to on the matter. On the application of Mr. Beckwith, made at the last meeting, it was ordered that Fairelough-lane should bo flagged. A memorial was again presented by the inhabitants of Tithebarn-street, complaining of the nuisance arising from Messrs. MiPie and Son's sugar refinery. A memorial was presented by Mr. Beckwith, on behalf of James Thompson, praying that a certain portion of Port land-street, Scotland-road, might be flagged. _The memorials were referred to the sub-committee. The 13oitouon ENGINEER exhibited a model, showingthe improvement which was sought to be made, in Back Great Mersey-street. The CHAIRMAN observed it world be in the recollection of the committee, that some alterations took place in:1848 in the levels of this street, having reference to some buildings erected by Mr. john Orrell ; but that gentleman now com plained, as did also the inhabitants, that the plans had not been adhered to. The cost of the improvement, we believe, would be about £9OO, £278 of which would fall upon the owners. The matter is to be referred to the finance com mittee. Attended at the committee on Tuesday—Messrs. Langs dale, Robertson Gladstone, Nicholson, Fleming, Beckwith, Moss, and Johnson. • • The committee then adjourned. DOCK COMMITTEE.—YEsTEnDAY. The usual weekly meeting of the dock committee was held yesterday, Mr. CHARLES TURNER, in the chair. The other members present were—Messrs. Robinson, Rankin, Brocklebank, Giegson, Chaloner, Steele, Gladstone, Barber, Malcolinson, Rounthwaite, Lockett, Smith, Tobin, Little dale, and Evans. The sub-committee recommended that the tender of Messrs. Wm. M'Cormick and Co., for work at Wapping, be accepted. The master porters' committee recommended that the sa lary of Mr. Hugh D. Clarke, a superintendent of the weights and scales upon the dock quays, be raised from £7B to £lOO a year. • The recommendation was agreed to. THE PROPOSED NEW LANDING STAGE. The CHAIRMAN read a resolution adopted by the finance committee last Friday, in regard to the resolution of the dock trustees, adopted at the last meeting, with reference to to the land in Prince's dock, required by the corporation for the purpose of building the proposed new landing stage. The resolution of the finance committee was to the effect that, inasmuch as the landing stage was proposed to be con structed azd maintained at the sole expense of the corpora tion for the advantage of the port, by affording additional accommodation for channel and other steamers, the commit tee were of opinion that the land necessary should be given by the dock trust without payment, but the committee being strongly impressed with the great benefit which would accrue to the port from the additional accommodation, would nevertheless recommend the council, rather than the advantages should be lost, to consent to a money payment being made by the cor*iration in respect to one-half of the additional land required, as an exchange of land between the two bodies upon equitable terms for the half referred to, the corporation not, however, being limited to part with that portion of land on the west side of St. George's dock. The chairman said as he understood that the corporation agreed to pay for half the land, or to give land in exchange, leaving it optional whether they would give the land at the west side of George's dock or not. Mr. BARBER said another construction might be put upon it. The words were " one half of the additional land." That might have reference to half the additional portion which the dock committee suggested. The CHAIRMAN I think the word " additional" applies to the whole of the land beyond what at present exists. They take the part which at present exists, and the whole of the land which is proposed to be given, by throwing back the wall, they call the additional land. _ . Mr. ROBINSON asked if they were not placed in a different position since the letter of Mr. M'lver, which stated that foreign steamers would not avail themselves of the proposed landing- accommodation. The accommodation would, it appeared, be only availed of by channel steamers. Now, it was certain that cattle could not be tolerated to land on the Prince's pier, and he did not see why they should make these arrangements when the channel steamers might be accommodated elsewhere. It seemed to him that these steamers would always go into a dock where they could discharge. The CHAIRMAN : You cannot alter your prospectus. You have made a proposal to the corporation, and you cannot alter it. Mr. BARBER thought it would be very injudicious to throw away the advantage which the dock estate now pos sessed. The corporation admitted that they must have the .land, and it could only be got from this estate. Now, the dock estate did not want any land but that pointed out in their resolution, and he thought it would be well that they should adhere to that resolution very pertinaciously. Mr. BROCKLEBANK said there was another portion of land, called the. Corporation dock, which it might be very ad visable that the dock estate should get into their poi - session. Mr. GLADSTONE : Have you seen the circular, Mr. Chair man, to which Mr. Robinson adverted ? The CHAIRMAN : I have seen the letter in the newspapers, and it is to the same effect that the ocean steamers, Mr. M'lver thinks, will not use the landing stage ; but at the same time he stated it as his opinion that the whole of the pro posed space will not be sufficient for the purposes of the other steamers. Mr. EVANS : We should never forget that we got nothing for the other landing stage. . Mr. TOBIN : It was not the corporation estate which made the dock estate pay for that at all. It was by other parties. Mr. EVANS : But the corporation looked on. Mr. BROCKLEBANIC was in favour of the estate getting an equivalent from the corporation in land. The CHAIRMAN .their agreement will be to give you land. Mr. MALCOLMSON thought the terms of the corporation proposition very indefinite. . The CHAIRMAN : Of course if they give us land in ex °hag° we must get it in what situation we choose to take, or they must give us money. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the land upon the west side of the Prince's dock, as valuable as that upon the west side of the George's dock, and therefore it should be exchanged yard for yard. . The Cff.h.nuitsra ; That, I should- think. will be a question for the valuator. Mr Small moved that the proposition or the corporation be agreed to. Mr. ROUNTinAr AITE seconded the motion. Mr. BARBER moved an amendment that the equivalent be in land and not in money, and that the land be either upon the west side of George's dock, upon the corporation dock, at the west side of the Queen's dock. Mr. GLADErroxE thought those who succeeded them would have reason to find fault with them if they did not distinctly designate the land which they would take in exchange. (Hear.) They were called upon to part with very valuable land, and as a plain, straightforward proceeding, he should like to know what land they were to get in return. That was a plain matter of calculation which he wished to un derstand. Mr. EVANS seconded Mr. Barber's amendment. The amendment was then put, when there appeared For : Messrs. Gladstone, Brocklebank, Maleolmson, E tans, Barber, Chaloner, and Lockett. Against : Messrs. Gregson, Littledale, Robinson, Tobin, Rounthwaite, Steel, Smith, Rankin and the Chairman. The amendment was therefore declared lost by a majority of 9 to 7. Mr. SMITH'S motion was then put and carried. The SOLICITOR read a report in reference to a letter from Messrs. M'Lean, suggesting that some means should be taken to prevent fraud in the paying of dock dues, by the party who paid the money . receiving a stamped receipt to return to the merchant, or in some other way. The solicitor stated that the dock trustees were bound to give receipts if required for all money paid over 405., the party who paid the money to produce a stamped paper and deduct the id. from thepayment. He referred to the old plan ofissuing a duplicate receipt which might be handed back to the party paying after being stamped by the dock trustees. This plan had been found to involve considerable trouble and delay and was not always effectual. He suggested that a duplicate dock bill should be produced with the sum to be paid written in words at full length. It was agreed after some conversation that the finance committee should receive directions to renew the old prac tice of stamping the duplicate bills. An application for increase of salary froM Mr. Jackson, one of the book-keepers in the treasurer's department, was referred back to the finance committee. Mr. LITTLEnALE drew attention to tho great importancs of ascertaining with what body the power lay of regulating the mooring of vessels in the river. This was of great im portance especially in such foggy weather as the present. That morning he had heard that one of the Woodside boats, with 300 persons on board, struck across an American vessel moored in the river, and endangered, of course, so many lives. It would be very wise of that trust to take some steps by which they might have the power vested in some one of regulating the mooring of vessels. He would suggest that the chairman should mention it to the finance com mittee. The CHAIRUAN I always understood that that the legal power was in the hands of the water-bailiff. The Soucrron said there was really no adequate power in the hands of any party. The CuirnmAN undertook to make a representation of the matter. This closed the general business. The Cynet, Blyth brig was wrecked in the Tyne on Tues day. The supply was injured, and is in the dock. The rest of the coal flat got clear. _ _ _ CUSTOMS PR MOTIONS.—Mr. Robert Pope, tide-surveyor, of Grimsby, has been promoted to the same office, at the higher classed port of Sunderland ; and Mr. Christopher M'Cain, acting tide-surveyor at Sunderland, has been pro moted to the office of established tide-surveyor at Grimsby. There are now three established tide-surveyors at Sunder land ; and se are glad to say that, from the increased amount of business at the port, they are all kept actively employed. PLEDGES OP EGYPTIAN CIVILISATION.—A letter from Munich, of the 19th says :—" Four young Egyptians have just taken out their den Tee of doctor in physic at this uni versity. They arrived in 1849, and have since then not only gone regu.arly through their medical education, but have learned the Grcek, Latin, and German languages, with music and painting. Before they had left their own country, they were acquaintec with French and English. These young. men have shows an extraordinary aptitude for learning; and in thatpoint thy resemble several other Egyptians previ ously educated lzre."
