or the. respective entrances or :appreaches thereto, and may demand and take at such gates or bars such tolls as they shill from time to time appoint for or in respect of all carriages, carts, and other vehicles, goods, cattle,, and other animals passing through the same." A max-, imum rate of tolls is contained in the' schedule attached to the bill, and this is done with a view to enable the board to, compound with the other ferries on the Mersey, either- existing, or hereafter to be established, for the tolls payable by them in respect of the accommodation afforded • theni by the . .new works, . the' plans , of which show that the Seacombe Basin, hitherto used by the pnblit free of rharge, for conducting - the _ferry goods traffic, will be interfered with as to render it practically useless fot that purpose hereafter. kresults that the Whole of the goods traffic 'of the ferries between Liver ikkd and Cheshire will have to pass over the new works for' the George's stake is to be devoted solely to pas senger traffic—and will become subject to a • toll that has not hitherto been laid upon it. • • Mr. Charles Turner, in his very able speech in the Town Council, 'on Wednesday last, stated that this improvement was not primarily made for the benefit of the docks ; lint it is - argued, in reply, that the. Dock board viiinid not make it at all for the benefit.of the public crossing the ferries;' that seeing , the dock estate is divided by the - River Mersey, there will be required by and bye, no doubt, "steamer:flats" for carrying goods from , the docks or warehouses on this side of the water to the docks and warehouses at Birkenhead, or that goods imported on this 'side may require to be -exported from the Other; - and that; therefore, what the Dock Board are propoging this scheme for is, and very-properly so, to give additional facilities between the two sides of the river; which will bepractically bringing the docks nearer together. It is said by some gentlemen that, as that, is so, and the . public are to be deprived of the Seacombe slip, the Dock Board should surely give, the public an equivalent forthat which they take away without charge, but that should it be shown - they are giving more than they are taking away, the Council would, no doubt, meet theni in a fair and liberal spirit ;—that the Finance Comniittee would entertain any proposition based in equity,=that 'appears to them requiring a contribution from the funds of the Corporation, and that if they were to- bring up a report to the Council recommending a contribution of a few thousands of pounds, rather than a toll should be levied on. traffic passing= into 'the , Great .Landing-stage, the Council would willingly' contribute the necessary sum. On the othet hand, adVocates of the bill declare that the Council rejeeted- the- invitation to contribute, and that conse quently there was no other course open to the Dock board than to proceed - with their bill, but that as the town clerk went up to Lehdon.bn. Friday, no doubt the matter will be arranged to the satisfaction of all con cerned. The rejoinder gives rise to a delicate question. The opponents of the bill say', seeing that the corporate funds provided' the Great Landing-stage' entirely, at a cost of £130,000, before the two estates were transferred to the present trust, the Liverpool ratepayers should be congidered as haVing contributed their full quota, not withstanding'any alteration which the new arrangements of the dock trust may find to be necessary. It is asked; supposing these approaChes that were provided by the Corporation were proved'to be insufficient for the pur poses of the public and the dock estate licith; and sup-i. Dosing the cost of then/. therefore to be entirely thrown away, would any one dispute but that the . Corporate funds had Contributed at least £lOO,OOO towards the erection of this landing-stake ? - And, again, we hear it suggested, that had the Corporation continued to receive the town dues, and the 'dock estate had required the contemplated alteration, it* is quite possible, the sng gestion being made to the Corporation that the amount Of that revenue would have made this alteration, and that . without charge to the dock estate; but as the dock estate'are now the recipients of that fund, and avowedly having paid no more thadlOs in the pound of its value, by ')4tr. Tobin's estimate; the 1)Ock Board are pressing too severely on the inhabitants of Liverpool when they require either a large contribution toward this expendi ture, or an impost to levied upon everybody for its use. These would appear to be strong arguments; but there are two sides to the picture, it is said, - and , gentle Men take exception to the statement that the pec;ple of Liverpool have paid for the Great Landing stage. For proof one's attention is directed to the Act of Parliament, and it is there enacted that the Mersey Board shall pay to the Liverpool Corporation the sum of £1,590,000 as compensation for the Town dues, the• Observatory, and the "Great Landing,stage. As_to the second point, attention is drawn to the fact' that up to the transfer of the docks the Corporation of Liverpool ' received, in the shape of Town-dues £3,295,000 ; that it expended' n the ll port same period £1,702,000 that it • dnring the ' : to make such sacrifices in ftiturew'i' not be called updii , d and that that being the ease, 10s.. in the poun , without any obli ation 'to spend any pOrtion of it on the, clocks, amounted g to the same thing' as h av i ng 20S. in the pound, and a moral , duty y attachin g t o diSburSe one-half at at least, in th e f ong run, in giving facilitio to tiailc. Thus, whilst one side can see dearlythat theeentern platedlmpost will, practically, he a prohibition for very much of the present intercourse between the two sides of the river, theuther are as certainly convinced that the town is getting the best 'of the bargain; and that trade between Liverpool and the Cheshire side will beivonder" 7 fully augmented by the new systein'of conducting ferry traffic. Both sides are agreed upon one point, .however, and that is that nothiiig should be permitted to be intro duced but what will facilitate,, and certainly not preju di mutual exchanges of trade. , 0, The question, in its entirety, is a deeply-inteteSting one ; and, having placed before, our readers a few of the more cogent arguMents adduced by public men, in 64 . 7 P c; rt of; Or'in - opposition to, the hill, we must leave the whole matter in their iandl, well assured that their penetration and discernment will result, in the end,. in a decision that shall be for the public weal, and that shall , not be am ''heard in v the local councils, of the good old town" and port of Liverpool.

TURIN, March 10. • The official Gazette publishes Farini's reply to Cavour's message of the 29th February. He says if the form of the new vote is not decided upon, Ihe should chose universal suffrage. The acts of Rome had destroyed any pos:Ability of a vicariate, as proposed by France upon the Romagnas. He guarantees full and absolute liberty in voting. r A dispatch from Cavour to Ricasola, dated the 29th February, communicates the French ideas relative to the settlement of Central Italy. Cavour says the assurances of the French Government show that the election of a prince of the house of Savoy would be opposed by France. Whatever may be the result of the new vote for Tuscany, the King will accept it beforehand. Ricasola in a dispatch to Cavour, dated 4th of March, denies that Tuscany aspires without reflection to an union with Piedmont. 'He s4s " Everything confirms the opinion that they were right in freeing, themselves irom Austria.'

Thouvenel, which replies to Count Cavour's despatches of the Ist and 3rd March. M. Thouvenel .points out the essential difference which exists between the question of the annexation. of -Tuscany to Piedmont and that of the annexation of Savoy to France; arid says that the principal difficulty which opposes the first is to obtain its recognition by Europe, which has guaranteed the possession of• Tuscany to:the dynasty,of Lorraine., .In the latter this difficulty disappears in presence of the arrangement' betvieen France and Sardinia relative to the spontaneous cession of Savoy. Consequently the Emperor of the French requests the regulation of the question. of Savoy by a simple cession to be settled by mutual consent, and without having recourse to - universal suffrage. M. Thouvenel thinks that, to become acquainted with the wish of the country, it would 'suffice 'to consult the municipalitieS of Savoy. As regards the annexation of Tuscany, M. fhonN.-eriel, repeats that France could not fol low Piedmont in a perilOus course. If King Victor Emrnannel accepts. the annexation Of Tus cany, 'he would necessarily be exposed to, the risks of such a policy, without being able . to reckon upon the support of France. AUSTRIA.

PARIS, March 9, The Pays, of this evening, publishes an article signed by M. Granir de Cassagna, on the manner in which the project of the annexation of Savoy and Nice has been discussed in the English Parliament. M. de Cassagna calls to mind that France left England full liberty to take and fortify Perim, because England had to protect her interests in the East, and says, France is now in a similar position in regard to Savoy and Nice, and he cannot understand why such noisy discussions criael lieries take place in the English Parliament, which might compromise the alliance between the two countries. We must understand that the Emperor has not frivolously demanded a modification in the French frontier, which the aggrandisement of Sardinia has ren dered indispensable. lie will take into consideration the disposition of the inhabitants, and the estimation of Europe, but it would be unreasonable to suppose that the Emperor would renounce that which regards the security of one of the most important frontiers of the empire. THE FRENCH TREATY. The Times, referring to the debate - and division on the treaty, ascribes the unanimity of the goun of C 0427 mons to a re..%rd for the great principles of kindness, justice, and truth. When it is objected that our measures are too good for France, we answer that if they are good for France, they must be good for England. That should be no objection. The British House of Commons, an assemblage of business men, representing_ all interests .and all classes, declines, to let any consideration of percentages stand in the way of that solemn_approval it has been pleased to give to this measure. Mr. Jas. Clarke Hook is the new Royal Academician. The Times says that measures are in progress for the formation of a Batik of India on the principles indicated in a recent despatch from Mr. Wilson. In the produce markets, during the week, prices have been very steady, although the distrust respecting the future course of European affairs still prevents large operations. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sultan, which sailed on Wednesday, from Southampton for Lisbon, has put into Falmouth, with damage to her screw. The. Euxiae has been sent from Southampton to take on her mails. • The Times has received communications from extensive importing houses in the butter trade, entirely disputing the statements as to the prevalence of adulteration in the foreign supplies ; they likewise offer explanations of the diminished receipts from Ireland at this period.

THE 'DIVISION ON THE ADDitESS.—Mr. Ewart voted with the majority on Friday night, but Mr. 'Horsfall does not appear to have been present.

The minority of 56 includes the names of Sir John Pakington and Lord John Manners, mem bers of Lord Derby's Cabinet, but not of Mr. Disraeli. Sir Hugh. Cairns does not appear to have voted at all.

TESTIMONIAL TO MIL COBDEN.—The friends of Mr. Cobden have spontaneously, and it is said without his knowledge, got up in the course of some three weeks a princely testimonial to him. The first promoter of the movement is a gentleman in Lancashire; who thotight that the best way to show his gratitude WAS to present Mr. Cobden with a large sum of money. He communi eated With others upon the subject, and headed the list of subscriptions with the munificent sum of £.5,000.

SERviai, Ydit NoN-enuncir-GOERS.—Last evening the second of a series of Sunday evening services took . place at Hengler's Circus, for the especial benefit of non-attendants at places of worship. There were present about two thousand persons. The best seats were crowded with respectably-dressed persons, most of Wiidth held books in their hands. The second-Class seats were filled partly with boys and girls, who did little else than prattle to each other, or • otherwise amuse themselves ; and it wasin vain that two or three men endeavoured to quiet the'M. There was a mixture of the working classes, but, judging from appearances, the place seemed I remarkably void of the class for whom the services are nominally instituted, and there seas a greit deal of run- Ping eat and bi among the people. . The Rev. Mr. Lowe preached a practical sermon from the 14th verse of the the 3rd chapter of John, " And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted ap."

It appears that the deceased was much addicted to drink, which produced despondency. On Thursday night he returned home intoxicated, retired to bed, but in the course of next morning. he sudde n ly th rew o ff th e bed clothes, jumped out of bed, and, saying to his wife he was only going to the yard, rushed downstairs.

IMPORTANT JUDGMENT IN BANICRTIPTCY, IN RE DavrEs AND DewEs.—These bankrupts for merly carried on business as soap boilers, &c., at Elles mere Port and Welshpool. This was a petition of the North and South Wales Bank, upon which Mr. Com: missioner Perry gave his decision on Saturday last. Mr. Deighton appeared as counsel for the bank, and Mr. Aspinall a 9 counsel for the issigneei. His Honour, in delivering judgment, said—ln this case the North and South Wales Bank claim to be entitled as equitable mortgagees of a soapery and dwell ing house at• Ellesmere Port, where, the bankrupts carried on the business of soap manufacturers, and of a house at Welshpool, which had been at different times, by deposit and written memoranda, mortgaged to the bank to secure the banking accounts of the firm of C. and E. Davies and the separate account - of Edward Davies. Au additional security was given by the guarantee of the father, Edward Davies, sen., for the sum of £3,000, which was divided in the proportion.of £2,000 for the account of C. and E. Davies and £l,OOO for the:separate account of E. Davies the youngek. The total amount now claimed to be due, exclusive of interest, is. £2,208 lls. 4d. I have read through the whole of the documentary evidence and the several examinations which have Feen taken or referred to in this case, and I am of opinion that the weight of testimony is decidedly in favour of the fact that the overdraft which the Davies' were to be allowed on their accounts taken collectively was •not to exceed £3,000, though the bank, through their ,agents, submitted, but not without continual complaint, to an excess over that amount for many months. Mr. Beck, one of the managers of the North and South Wales Bank, in his examination of the 23rd of. February last, says there was no alteration of the limit of the overdraft ever agreed to, but after it got up we were obliged to continue it. Early in the year 1856 the bank was led to expect that in the month of June the balance of the bankrupts with them would be reduced by the payment of a sum of £3,000, which was to be advanced by Mr. Jubb, the trustee of E. Davies, junior's, wife, Upon the security of the leases held by the bank. This is alluded to in a letter of E. Davies, jun., of the date of the 11th of February, 1856,' to Mr. Jones, the manager of the Welshpool branch of the bank. He says—"l. am glad to say I have arranged to take up as much cash in Yorkshire as will enable me, if necessary, to :dispense with the balance on our accounts, but a short time must elapse, as the parties are obliged to have notice." At an interview between Mr. Rae, the general manager Of the . bank, and the bank rupts, they explained that the slim Of £l,OOO Mentioned in the lettek of- the 11th of Pehrtlary was to be received by Mr. E. Davies, jun.,' from his wife's trustees in June. Afterwards, at another interview, it was promised that it should be paid in September following. On the 4th of Angust, 1856, when the overdraft stood at £4,970, the state of his account ttas again brought under the notice Or Mt. EciNtafd bavies, Itheji lie gate the letter of that date. That letter contains an under taking to deposit the lease of a house and premises - at Welshpool; "to be held by the bank as collateral Secu rity for all sums of money, then due, or which may here after beCome due, in any manner of way from the firm of C. and E. Davies, or on my individual account, it being understOod that the said lease is to be given up to me on payment by me of the sum of £3,000, as also the lease Of a plot of land at Whitby, dheshire." When this was under discussion, it _was objected by Mr. Aspinali that it was not competent td the counsel for the peti tioners to inqUike *hit slim of £3,000 was herd meant ; but Ras cit Opinion that Mr. Deightert Wight put the question to the witness under examination, iilastritiCti as there bad been a specific sum of £3,000, the subject of treaty between the parties, and the answer was that it referred to the money expected from Mr. Jubb. This money was not forthcoming in September, but on the idth of that victual E, Ilaoigs *titer; to Mr. Jones that on his return from Yorkshire he had found that the 43,040 had been paid over to his solicitor by the parties to whom it was advanced, and he desires him to tell Mr. Rae that he expects about £5OO will be paid over, in addition to the- above, from- the same quarter.. Mr. Rae says this was the first time he had heard that more than £3;000 was expected from Mr. Jubb. That it,was hot paid to Mr. Daiies 4 s solicitcir is athitidantly evident; but it -appears from a letter of Mr. Jubb, dated 16th October, 1856, that the money (£3,400) had been in the bank since the month of June. Some negotiation takes place on the subject of this advance ; and, finally, on the 2nd of May, 1857, Mr. Jubb informs Mr. Rae, for reasons stated in a letter of that date, that he has made Other arrangements for the investment of the trust money. here it is evident, if other proof were wanting in addition to the proof furnished by the statement of Charles Davies, that the two cheques of £5OO each paid in to the account in March, 1857, and disposed of as stated by Mr. Rae, formed no part of the originall3,ooo to be advanced by him. Mr. E. Davie also had been in Liverpool on the 25th of March, 1857, to deposit the lease of the Welshpool property with the batik ; and having then explained to Mr.: Rae that Mr. Jubb declined to- advance more than £2,400, Mr. Rae, .by instructions from the directors, writes to Mr. E. Davies a letter of the 30th March, 1857, insisting on the promise made by Mr. Jubb- being fulfilled, and the £3,400 being paid in reduction of the eeecifints. In consequence of the refusal by Mr. Jubb being a final one, a meeting is held, at the bank in Liverpool, at which both the bankrupts were present, on the 11th of May, 1857, when the state of their accounts is con sidered,.and it is found to be as follows:—Joint and separate account Of C. and E. Davies and E. Davies, £4,614 ; accommodation bills, £3,000; and other lia bilities, £2,646. The Davies' were then reminded that the original limits of their account (£3,000) must be covered by approved guarantee of that amount, and that the excess of overdraft beyond that,. viz., £1614, and the three bills then mentioned; must be cleared a in cash, ' and to facilitate their doing so, the bank had agreed, on receipt' of £3,500 of the amount, to give up the lease of the house at Welshpool, the lease of the soapery, and the lease of the dwelling house, Mr. Rae afterwards writes the letter of the 13th of May, 1857, to Mr. Jones, the manager at Welshpool, in Which, after stating in one lice tho sums which I have given before, and which amount to £10,200, he con tinues thus The arrangement which the directors will agree to is this : £1,614 of the overdraft, and all the accommodation bills, to be paid off; and for the £3,000 of overdraft left unpaid, the guarantee of three or four undoubted parties to be,given. To facilitate the arrangement the directors will give up the lease of the house at Welshpool, also the lease of the soapery and dwelling•house at Ellesmere Port, on receipt of £3,500." Mr. Jones said he did not communicate the tenor of this letter to Mr. E. Davies. I waited upon him per sonally." lipon this and the conversation at the inter view which took place on the 15tk of May turning principally upon the question of guarantee, Mr. Aspinall has founded an argument that Mr. Jones's evidence given on his examination of the 25th of February, which is to the effect that he placed the letter of Mr. Rae before Mr. Davies, and that he thinks he read it, is not to be relied upon when contrasted with the statement by Mr. Davies that he never saw the letter, and that Mr. Davies's statement that the guarantee Was to be accepted in sub stitution of the sum which had been promised to be advanced by Mr. Jubb must be taken to be the true one. Ido not accede to that argument, first, because there is nothing inconsistent in the two statements of Mr. Jones. He denies that he communicated the tenor of the letter to Mr. E. Davies, using " communication" in the sense of sending the letter to him. "He waited upon hini personally," Next, we have seen, upon the examinations taken recently, that Mr. E. Davies has answered as positively to another matter of fact, and then has been obliged to retract the statement made when his own handwriting is placed before him. I allude here particularly to his answer as to Mr. Yearsley, whom he says he never saw after Mr. Maginnis's guarantee was given. I am, therefore, of opinion that the letter was placed in Mr. Davies' hands or on the desk before him, an 1 that he made himself acquainted at least with its principal contents. They were besides not new to him, as he had been present at the meeting of the bank of the 11th May. In consequence of this resolution of the board of directors so communicated to Mr. Davies, he obtains the guarantee of Mr. Maginnis, a customer of the bank, for £3,000, a guarantee in which he is joined by Mr. E. Davies, sen., though the bank, entertaining an unfavourable opinion of Mr. E. Davies, sen.'s, cir cumstances, looked to Mr. Maginnis as the responsible person. This may have been very unfair towards a customer, but upon that question I am not called upon here to give my opinion. Mr. E. Davies, the bankrupt, stating as he does in this court that the £3,000 of guarantee was taken in substitution of the £3,400 of actual money to be paid by Mr. Jubb, is nowhere found to give expression to that opinion either to Mr. Jones or to Mr. Rae. Naturally a person so convinced that such was the arrangement would have applied, either by himself or his solicitor, to the bank for the delivery up of the leases. He says, "It was no use unless I was prepared with the money ; they would not give them up again. He never did request them to give up the leases. I concluded they would not give them up." The money mentioned in one of those answers is evidently the £3,500 stated in Mr. Rae's letter of the 13th of May and in the minute of the board of directors of the 11th of May. Added to all this, there are the two applications to Mr. Yearsley and another gentleman at Chester, made for the purpose of obtaining the money necessary to liberate the leases. Having, then, expressed my opinion that the discount of overdraft agreed upon was only £3,000, and having stated also the grounds by which I arrive at the conclu sion that the guarantee was not in any way a substitu tion for the £3,400, which was to be advanced by Mr. Jubb, it only remains for me to state that the circum stance of the merger of the joint account in E. Davies's separate account, which took place on the 2nd of July, 1857, does not, in my mind, alter the case as regards the rights of the North and South Wales Bank, who , have, in my opinion, established their title as equitable THE DAIL/ 111$1ES, MONDAY, MARCH 12, 180. mortgagees to be paid the amount which, upon taking the account by the official assignee, may be found due to them. As to the filtures, it have been decided by the cases of "Exparte Broad*ood" (1 Mont., D. and D., 631) and ‘• Exparte Heathcote" (2 Mont., D. and D., 711) - , that an equitable mortgage of leaseholds will carry fix tures though not mentioned in the memorandum of deposit. I think, therefore, that the bank is entitled to the three cast-iron soap pans, and the evaporating pan, the rosin pan, small icon boiler, steam boiler and crane, and to any wrought or cast-iron tanks which may be sunk in the ground. The case of "Barclay re Gawin" (5 D. M. and G. 410) having expressly defined " fix tures," in the case of a mortgage, to mean such things as are ordinarily affixed to the freehold for the conveni ence of the occupier, and which may be removed with out material injury to the freehold. LIVERPOOL SOCIETY OF FINE ARTS. The annual meeting of this society was held on Satur day afternoon, in the Public Salesroom, Liverpool and London Chambers. Mr. Leicester presided; and the general attendance was large. Mr. JOSEPH BOULT, the secretary, read the report, o which the following is an abstract The council of the Liverpool Society of Fine Arts, in again bringing the position of the society before the members, have pleasure in being able to present it in a very satisfactory and encouraging aspect. "From the balance-sheet of the financial results of l!"the first year's proceedings, as audited, it will be seen that, when the council now retiring entered office, the liabilities at that time outstanding amounted to .£855 7s. Bd. This large sum, which consisted of the expenses incurred in establishing the society and in adapting the Queen's-hall for the exhibition of paintings, is now reduced, in the balance-sheet audited for the year just closed, to £416 12s. sd. There are some liabilities the extent of which is not perfectly ascertained, as some accounts have not been rendered, and some assets which were not received before the close of the financial year; but it is believed that the debts and credits will about balance each other. Taking the liabilities now out -standing at, in round numbers, £420, it appears that £435 of the debt have been discharged ; and against the remainder may be set the picture purchased for the per manent gallery, the furniture and fittings in the Queen's- Ilan, and the proportion of rent paid in advance.' . " The working expenses will be less in future than they have been, as increased experience shows that judi cious retrenchments may be effected without in any way impairing the usefulness of the society, or departing from the liberal principles upon which it is established. " The formation of a permanent gallery of modern art, to become the property of the town at large, being prominent among the objects to be realised through the instrumentality of the society, the council have been anxious to make a beginning in that direction ; and they hope the diversion of a portion of the surplus income to the purchase of Mr. Tyrer's admirable pictures, as the first of that collection, will meet with the cordial approval of the members. "Much, regret has beea felt that the state of the finances did not permit of more being accomplished towards the formation of the permanent gallery ; but Until all outstanding liabilities have been exthiguished the Mandl feel that the chief portion of the surplus revenue must be applied to that o'xtinction. They beg, however, to -urge the importance of securing further compositions from subscribers for life; and, considering the increasing stability of the society ; its claims for conficlemce from the fact that the ordinary receipts are in excess of the ordinary expenditure ; and the valuable privileges which are secured t o d onors to i ts f un d s, t h ere can be little doubt that these strong inducements will attract a portion of the public spirited liberality of this great and enlightened community. " The season of the year most favourable for the exhibition of *orb of art is, unfortunately, not available under existing circirrastartces for the annual exhibition of the Works of Living Artists but it was suggested 1 that an exhibition might be opened of works now in private collections, and of proof engravings and photo graphs. Invitations for contributions have been issued accordingly, and have elicited very liberal and satisfac tory offers to contribute , works of ancient and modern masters, notwithstanding the numerous applications to which the owners of valuable works are exposed.. "In the photographic department the council enjoy the important assistance of the photographic section of the historic Society of Ladcashire and Cheshire. The photographete of this neighbourhood are so honourably distinguished by their zealous devotion to their pursuit, it is anticipated that this department of the exhibition will be richly supplied: " It is intended that the exhibition shall be opened on the 4th of April next ; and annual and life subscri bers will enjoy the same privileges of admission as to the usual autumn exhibition. The subscriptions for the current year became due on the Ist instant. " 'the Annual Exhibition of the Works of Modern Artists will be held iii geptember as usual. As it is rumoured that the forthcoming season will be more than usually prolific in works by eminent artists, it is expected that the exhibition of next autumn will not be inferior to either of its predecessors. " The amount realised by the sale of pictures in the late exhibition was £4,850, an amount so large and' unprecedented as to justify special notice. It is a parti cularly hopeful indication of the growth in Liverpool of a taste for art, and encourages very sanguine expecta tions. About £1,600, or one-third of the whole amount, were spent in the works of foreign artists,whose pictures have proved an important and valuable feature in the exhibitions of this society. The council trust that their introduction will not prove in any respect injurious to the British school. The amount realised by artists of that school, in the season just closed, they have pleasure in observing, was unusually large for any place oat of London. "A considerable proportion of the sales was effected through the assistance of the Liverpool Art-union Society. The substitution of the shilling subscription for one of a guinea induced a much larger portion of the public to interest themselves in the art-union, and consequently the amount realised was very considerable. Several of the prizes fell to members of the working classes, who exercised very judiciously the right of selection reserved to them by the rules of the Art union Society, The example of a shilling subscription is being adopted, with great success, throughout the country " During the past year very excellent lectures have been delivered upon sculpture, by Richard Westmacett, Esq, R.A. ; and upon engraving by J. C. Hall, Esq., S.A., editor of the Art Journal. " According to the laws five of the retiring council are ineligible for re-election; of • these two must be artists. The council recommend that these vacancies be supplied by the election of Mr. Samuel Walters and Mr. George Rickin, associates ; and Messrs. Septimus Booker, Horatio N. Hughes, and Thomas Norris, subscribers. ." Liverpool, 10th March, 1860." The CHAIRMAN said he was glad to hear such a re sult as that detailed in the report, for there were sad prophesies about it when the society was commenced ; and they were charged with endeavouring to create ill will and jealousy. He was glad, however, that event, had justified their buidnAss ; and lie believed the society was undertaken, not with any bad feeling, hut with the determination to have one side of the question repre sented as well as the other. He was sure that the society had contributed to the good of the town, in various ways, to all classes. On the motion of Mr. Frank Walker, seconded by Mr. Storrs, the report was unanimously adopter!. The Right Hon. the Earl of Sefton was appointed president for the enswing year; and the list of the vice presidents comprised the names of the chief noblemen and gentlemen of the neighbourhood. On the motion of Mr. Dawson, seconded by Mr. Baruchson, the council for the ensuing year was appointed. Mr. SMITH, in reply to certain letters which had appeared in the newspapers, read the following state ment :—He thought the present a most fitting oppor tunity for the artists to express how proud they feel to be connected with a society in whose constitution the lay and artistic element was so beautifully organised. The success already resulting from this happy combina tion augurs well for the future, and as the representative of one branch of art, we rejoiced that it was too well founded to be shaken by their opponents. Their success had resulted from the various reforms which had been carried out by their able, zealous, energetic, and courteous lay members. He wished to say a few words in refer ence to sculpture, for he thought the money expended on the recent exhibition would be very beneficial in ' promoting local art. Since the exhibitions of sculpture at Post-office-place bad fallen off, no less than three of our local studios had closed. The sculptor who was not altogether fully employed upon commissioned works, so devoted his time to such as are likely to meet with purchasers at these annual exhibitions ; and the painter could not look forward to the same with more sanguine expectations. But the lay members had always been excluded from the hanging committee of the Liverpool Academy, who were always opposed to the interspersion of sculpture throughout the rooms, so that it never had a proper position allotted to it. And in his recollection, he knew that in consequence of not selling his works through this, a sculptor who was most anxious to keep his works before the public, on one occa sion was compelled to convert into a Saxon chief a statue that bad been exhibited there the previous year as a heathen divinity. (Laughter.) This ought not to be, and he felt sure that if they continue to keep up a moderate exhibition of the works of celebrated sculptors, it would not only make such an impression on the minds of our youths as to cause many in this town to have to follow them in their pursuits, but would eventually con tribute a warmer taste for the art amongst the profession at large. He begged to tender on behalf of his profes sion their thanks for the united efforts of this society to promote their welfare. (Hear, hear.) Votes of thanks were passed to the auditors, to the directors of the Wnion Bank, and to the chairman for presiding ; and the meeting then broke up. Lire-BOAT StutvNEs.—Tynemouth, Shields, Thurs day night.—This morning a fishing-Coble, called the Honor, having on board three men named W. Dodds, A. Taylor, and R. Storey. when off fishing about eight miles from the land, were suddenly overtaken by a heavy sea, and strong wind from the northward. They attempted to make for Tynemouth haven, but the entrance being very dangerous they durst not for some time venture to attempt it. Under these circumstances the new life-boat, which the National Lite-Boat Insti tution recently sent to Cullercoats, was immediately manned by twelve fishermen, and launched with much promptitude from her new carriage. She soon reached the distressed coble, and afterwards safely escorted her into the haven. The Cullercoats life-boat, in promptly going off to a scene of danger, is often the means, in cases where our fleet of fishing-boats are overtaken by sudden storms, of saving many lives and much valuable property, f or the presence of the life-boat inspires the fishermen with renewed courage to combat nobly and successfully with the raging elements. REDTVITOV OF TIMBER DUTIES:- TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES Sin,—Although the subject treated of in the enclosed .correspondence is now a settled question, it may, never theless, be interesting to your readers to know for whose benefit an additional income-tax of half-a-million has to be imposed. I therefore beg to request the Wont of its insertion in your columns.—l am, sir, yout most obedient servant, Liverpool, 9th March, 1860 Liverpool, Feb. 29, 1860. SlN—Being aware of the extent of your present engagements, I think I shall best consult your con venience by writing to you, instead of asking for an inter view, on the subject of duties on foreign wood, which you now propose to place on the same footing as Colonial. Owing to the cheapness of labour in the Baltic, their wood can be brought to the ports of shipment lower than it can be done in our North American colonies, and owing to the shortness of the voyages from Norway and the Baltic, freights from thence range from one-half to two-thirds of, what must necessarily be paidlfor the longer voyage from Canada and New Brunswick, conse quently in these two items the Baltic merchants possess natural advantages to the extent of 15s. per load ; and as the Baltic cannot supply all the wood that is required in this country, there is an absslute necessity that some portion should come from our North American colonies, these being the next nearest point of supply, and as no country can long continue to supply goods under cost, it follows that the best and only way to obtain a good supply at the lowest first cost at the ports of shipment, both in the Baltic and in the colonies, is to establish such a reasonable scale of differential duties as shall at least compensate for the unavoidable difference in freight. The differential duties, as they have stood since 1851, are much in favour of the Baltic merchants; and of this they have not failed to avail themselves, as in every remission of duty since 1842 they have on an average added at least two-thirds of it to first cost, whilst con sumers have only been benefited to the extent of one third ; and I have no hesitation in predicting that the reduction now proposed, if made, will share the same fate In the year 1840 the import of forein wood was Ditto ditto ditto colonial 927,050 „ 1,511,581 „ while in the year 1859 the import of foreign wood was - - - - - - 1,366,557 loads. Ditto ditto ditto colonial 1,248;069 „ 2,614,626 „ Thus, in a period of twenty years, the import of foreign Wood has increased 782,026 loads, or 134 per cent., whilst colonial has only increased 321,010 loads, or 341 per cent. The effect of now reducing the foreign duties to the same scale as colonial, will be a loss to the revenue of this country, computed on the quantities entered for home consumption last year of about £423,000, and with the reasonable prospect of a large annual increase, equivalent to, and causing the unnecessary necessity of an additional income tax to the extent of a halfpenny in the pound, , and that, as before stated, without benefiting consumers as much as one-third of that sum. It will be a great discouragement to our North American Colonies who have been most loyally attached to this country, and in proportion to population are our best customers. ' It will further depress the shipping interest, inasmuch as any impulse given to" increase the supply froM the Baltic leads to the carrying being done by foreign ships. You may say that the shipping interests have sought for a reduction in duties in order that ships might be built cheaper in this country ; but the relief could be more effectually afforded by giving a drawback on all foreign timber used, equivalent to the reduction which you now propose making, and considering that the class of vessels which will hereafter be built in this country will consist largely of iron, I am persuaded that the claims for drawback which could be made in any one year would never amount to £25,000, and in this way builders would enjoy the whole sum, instead of the small portion that would be obtained with reduced duty and increased first cost. There is, no doubt, an objection to drawbacks, but under certi ficate of actual measurement by Lloyd's surveyors of the quantity of wood used entitled to drawback, I appre hend that little or no difficulty weuld arise. Believing that it is your earnest and anxious desire to do that which will the most tend to the national pros perity, and as you have invited suggestions which perhaps my long experience in the trade enables me to give, I hope I need make no apology for offering the foregoing remarks ; and I earnestly request that they may have your serious consideration, and I sincerely hope that you may be induced to defer making the proposed reduction, and requesting the, favour of your reply,—l remain, with much respect, sir, your most obedient servant, (Signecly ROBERT RANKIN. To the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer. 11, Downing-street, Whitehall, March 7, 1860. SIR,—I am directed by the Chancellor of the Exche quer to acknowledge the favour of your letter of the 29th nit., and to say that he regrets to inform you her Majesty's Government cannot accede to your suggestions. am, your obedient servant, JAMES F. STUART WORTLEY. Robert Rankin, Esq. The following correspondence has just been pub lished Saddle Hotel, Liverpool, March 3, 1860. The Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sin,—My private affairs have required me to make a hasty visit to this country, and since my arrival I have learned, -to my great surprise, that you intend to equalise the duties on foreign and colonial wood. I feel confident you cannot be aware of the extent of injury which the proposed change in the duties in wood would inflict on her Majesty's subjects in New Bruns wick, and more especially on those engaged in the manufacture and export of deals for the United Kingdom. I deem it incumbent upon me, on behalf of my fellow colonibtz in New Brunswick, to respectfully remonstrate and protest against any alteration in the present ar rangement of the wood duties, until they shall have had the opportunity of submitting for your consideration the rootzlicer Lardl.hipa of Flair nova I believe that my fellow colonists, who have expended large sums of money in saw mills and in the other re quirements of the deal trade, on the faith of the con tinuance of the present wood duties, have on this as well as on other grounds a just claim to be heard before any change be made ; and I beg most respectfully to express my conviction, that should the proposed change be made without notice, and with out their having a reasonable opportunity of being represented, such a hasty proceed ing would undoubtedly cause serious discontent among a people who have always been conspicuous for their attachment to the institutions of this country. I purpose leaving for America by the North Briton, on Wednesday, the 7th inst., and I hope you will enable me to inform my fellow-colonists that they will have an opportunity of presenting their case to the consideration of her Majesty's Government before you make a change in your policy so destructive of their trade and their property.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, THOMAS M'AvITY Mayor of the city of St. John, New Brunswick. (Copy.) Downing-street, March 6, 1860. feel some difficulty in replying to your letter of the 3rd, which I received yesterday afternoon on returning to town. In that letter you " protest," as well as remonstrate, against any change in the duties levied in this country and paid by the English people upon wood from the colonies and from foreign countries respectively, until the inhabitar.ts of New Brunswick shall have had an opportunity of stating their views upon the subject. Were I to examine your language critically I could not admit your title, even individually, to protest against any legislation which Parliament may think it right to adopt, for the equalisation of the duties on foreign and colonial wood. And when you desire to remonstrate "on behalf of the inhabitants of a colony," I must observe that such remonstrances ought to be addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, who would exercise his discretion as to bringing them before the Minister of Finance. As, however, you are about to quit England without delay, I waive all regard to these considerations, and I must beg leave to apprise you that I am aware of no circumstance or argument which could have led any person interested in the colonial timber trade, and exercising ordinary prudence, to reckon on the per otnyn o e f d the on manence of a law which charges di fferential duties u pon timber the produce of foreign countries. At the former periods when those differential duties have been reduced, I am a ware of no p led g e that has kind been should b gi h v oed nthat e i pern permanently maintained.nthiiaanpeanrtticularcaseancy d.d If no su c h expectation could be f ormed from a dist inct pledge of the the generalßfitis ph policy cy Government,and legislation still less could thisituntry. beo fu That legislation has for a long series of years been founded upon the p olic y of abatin g , and then destroying, or of destroying at once, differential duties. It was applied with great stringency t o some cases of colonial produce, even u nder peculiar circumstances. It h as been applied in the case o f woo d from British North America with much caution ; an d b y d egrees so slow that the wonder is, not that Parliament should now decline, without a dissentient voice, to sanction the continuance of the differential duties, but rather that it should, for so long a time, have permitted them to continue. You describe this change as destructive of the trade ate fhe property of the colonists. If so, it can only be so because the differential duty exacts from the people of England, who provide for the Military and naval (Idol* of NeW Brunswick at their °wilt charge, an artificial price for its produce ; and the demand for the permanent mainteriarree of that artificial price would thus be a demand, in efted for the per manent payment of a tribute from the mother co•untry fl not, indeed,' to the colony at large, but to a portion of its inhabitants." arri, note -.however, prepared to ad m i t that the change deserves the character which You give it. The predictions of relict which you and some others now tender to the Government are not new. They have many times been repeated, and were much more loudly uttered in 1842 than they now are, by much more numerous witnesses, not less informed of the circum stances, and with not less unquestionable good faith. Yet the result has been of a character totally opposite to what was anticipated; and the very statements which are now . sent in to deprecate the present change are based upon allegations of facts with reference to the present state of the colony, that th emselves bear witness of the fallacy of their sinister prophecies. To place the colonies in any respect wider the p ressure of legal inequality would be repugnant to every feeling of the British Government. To give them the benefit of freedom in trade has been their early and anxious desire; but they cannot decline to make proposals upon a proper opportunity, which will at length extend these benefits to others, and among them to the people of England. As this letter, with your own, touches on a matter of public interest, it might perhaps be convenient that they should be published; but I shall take no such step as to your letter, if I am given to understand that you disap prove of it.—l have the honour to be sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) W. E. GLADSTONE. J. M'Avity, Esq. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-surt-RDAy. (Before Mr. RArru,s.) GAROTTE ROBBERY.—William William s, William Sheehan, and John Jones were brought up and charged with having garotted a matt in the neighbourhood of St. John's market on Thursday evening. Mi. Cobb defended. The prosecutor, an engineer, arrived here on Thursday last in the screw steamer Kangaroo, and on that evening went from the " Edinburgh Castle," where he had stopped during the day, intending to take a train from the Lime-street Railway Station. On the way he met two men who volunteered to direct him to the station, and, having missed the train, he accompanied them to a public-house. Here they were joined by a third man, with whom they went to the Star Hotel Concert-room, Williamson-square, and had more drink. On leaving this place the prosecutor was accompanied by the three men, and led into a back street near St. John's market, where he was seized and held by two of the men, while the third took all his money, amounting to £l2, from his pockets. On being released, he gave an alarm, and afterwards ;reported the robbery to the police. The prisoners were apprehended by Carlyle for another offence, and were afterwards identified by the prosecutor as the perpetrators of this. The case was sent for trial, and the prisoners were also remanded on suspicion of being concerned with several females who are in custody, and will be brought up on Tuesday, charged with the robbery of a Mr. M‘Mahon. A PREMIUM TO CRlME.—William Smith was charged with having stolen a coat from the shop of Mr. Davies, Byrom-street. Mr. Raffles, having ascertained that the coat had been placed outside the door of the shop, con demned the practice of shopkeepers placing their goods outside. It was, he said, a most horrible system ;it was holding out a premium, and was a great temptation to people who were disposed to commit crimes of that sort. The prisoner had, however, committed a most impudent robbery, and must go to prison for three months with hard labour. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—A well-dressed, apparently respectable female, named Maria Trelfall, described as a dressmaker, was charged with having stolen a large amount of property_ from her late employer, Mr. M a ddy, 25, Bold-street. Up to Christmas last the prisoner was employed by the prosecutor as a dressmaker, but, in con sequence of some property having been missed, and the suspicion that she bad stolen it, she was discharged. Mr. Maddy, after that time was doubtful of being able to bring the charge home, and, therefore, did not give her into custody ; but, a few days ago, the prisoner re moved from her lodgings, and left there a few articles which Mr. Maddy identified as his property. This led to inquiries, and Detective Eaton searched her boxes, and found stolen property valued at £l5. ' Mr. Maddy said he had no doubt that the pri soner had robbed him to the extent of £5O or £lOO. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty to having stolen some of the properv, was sent to gaol for six months, with hard labour, Mr. Raffles remarking that robberies by trusted servants were about the worst robberies that could be committed, and in order that they might be checked, and employers protected, should be severely punished. PICKING POCKETS.—Two youths, named respectively James Ellison and Edward Marshall, were brought up for picking pockets o n th e p re vi ous d a y. B e i ng i n rather low water they thought probably they might obviate the difficulty by taking a walk down to the Landing -stave to see the monster tide. There Ellison, who had been already initiated into the secrets of the light-fingered craft, as was testified by a previous conviction, the record of which appeared on the police books, suggested to his companion that in the crowd they might find profitable employment. The suggestion was adopted, and the youths having great horror of the sin of scandal,-plied their avocation as secretly as they could, but it happened that they tried a pocket once too often, were caught, and apprehended. Ellison was sent to gaol for three months, with hard labour ; Marshall was remanded for seven days, to ascertain whether he was a fit subject for a reformatory. INFORMATIONS UNDER TILE PASSENGER ACT.—Lieu tenant Hay, R.N., of the Government Emigration Office, appeared to support an information against William Freckleton, for a breach of the 71st section of the Emigration Act. Mr. Almond appeared for the defence. It appeared that a man named Michael Neylan, desirous of proceeding to America, applied to Michael Hynes, who is the defendant's correspondent at Gort, and paid to him £4 10s. He received no contract ticket, as he should have done under the 71st section ; but a letter was given to him, addressed to a man named Kirwan, a boarding-house keeper in Liverpool. On arriving at Liverpool, not having a contract ticket he was unable to procure a passage ; and having applied to the Emigra tion Office, the summons was issued. Mr. Almond said that Mr. Freckleton had never heard from Hynes ; and Mr. Raffles having been informed by Lieutenant Bay that Hynes was not only agent for Mr. Freckleton, but also for Messrs. Tapscott and Smith, dismissed the case. It was also stated that the complainant had been offered a passage by Messrs. Tapscott and Smith.—There was a second information against the defendant, for having charged more than th proper amount for a passage to America, but this case was also dismissed. MUSICAL, DRAMATIC, LITERARY, AND ARTISTIC NEWS AND GOSSIP. A plan is rumoured for giving operas in English at the Princess's Theatre during the months of spring and early summer. Mr. Smith announces that he will open her Majesty's Theatre on Easter Tuesday, and advertises as engage ments already made those of Mdlle. Titiens, Mesdames Alboni and Borghi-Mamo, and Mesdames Ferraris and Pocchini. Mr. Benedict and Signor Arditi are :to be the conductors. At Eden , Lodge, Kensington Gore, says the Athenaeum a large collection of historical letters and papers has been brought to light. The collection consists of, among bthers, private and secret letters from George 111., Lord Mansfield, Sir W. Blackstone, Lord North, Wed derburn, Woodfall, Adam Smith, Burke, Fox, and Pitt. ITere ought to be found something about Junius ; here will certainly be found much about Howard. About the private life of Pitt there is some deeply touching and romantic information. On subjects of more public— not more popular—interest, we may mention, that the collection contains the whole secret correspondence of Mr. Pitt and Mr. Eden (afterwards Lord Auckland), who negotiated the commercial treaty of 1786—a sub ject of very groat interest at this present time. Lord Suffolk, Lord George Germaine, Lord Granville, Lord Lord Hawkesbury, Lord Melville, Lord Thurlow, are among the names of Mr. Eden's confidenti a l terrespon dents. Altogether, these papers are of the greatest value ; and selections from them, at least, should be given to the world. The Messrs. Black write to the Atheneum, " W e beg to thank your correspondent, W. S. Johnstone ' for his excellent hint t€ publishers to cause th e weight of a book to be indicated in such a way as to facilitate the use of the book post. In a book (" Macaulay's Biographies") we are now getting bound by Mr. Burn, of Kirby-street, he has promptly availed himself of the suggestion ' as you will observe by t h e above adhesive label, which, besides bearing his name as a binder, con tains conspicuously in the centre the words "Postage 4d ," so that any one wishing t o sen d t h e b ook by the post sees at at once the postage without being obliged to weigh it. We consider that Mr. Johnstone and Mr. Burn have thus redeemed the binder's label from the charge of deformity that used sometimes to be cast upon it, and have turned it to good a ccount.—yours,&c A. C ~ AND C. Belex," A remarkable trial has just been concluded in Leipsic, namely, that of a Dr. Linder, Professor in the Univer sity of that town, who has been convicted of the erime of stealing and mutilating some of the books and MSS. in the public library. The sentence passed upon him is a severe one, but not disproportionate to the aggravated nature of his crime —six years' imprisonment, with hard labour ! Let the delinquents in the British Museum reading room take warning in time by this example, since the law in this country is, we believe, fully as severe as that of Saxony with respect to such offences. In the course of the debate on the abolition of the duties on silk Mr. Bright said that as to the superiority of French designs, all our English silk manuf acturers had to do was '''to cross the Channel and bring bottle a car Pet ba g f u ll of designs; the freight of which would not be heavy. Yes, says the Literary Gazette, that is the Manchester idea of competition. Now it is a popular error, that of the excellence of French designs for silk, or anything else. Th e y are dexterous in executi on, b ut in principle vicious. So long, however, as English designers are simply set to copy and vary and pirate them, so long, of course, will the copyists be behind their originals. Set the English designer to think out designs, adopting hints from Nature suitable to textile fabrics, and a different result would be obtained. The manu facturers and warehousemen need schools of taste to instruct them. Till they mend, schools of design are idle, and unfit the poor designer for his ultimate hapless fate. The usual notice has been given to artists proposing' to send their pictures to the Royal Academy, for exhi bition. This year, the latest day for sending in pictures, Will be Tuesday, April 10. The pictures are being hung for the seventh annual exhibition of the French and Flemish artists, at the Gallery, in Pall-mall. A private view will be given at the end of next week—that is to say, on Saturday, March 17. COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OSBORNE, March 10.

On Saturday, the election of a member to represent the western division of the county of Surrey in Parlia ment, in the room of the late Mr. Henry Drummond, took place at the Town-hall, Guildford. The only can didate in the field was Mr. George Cubitt, who came forward upon Conservative principles. Mr. Evelyn, the High Sheriff of the county of Surrey, presided. The How. F. Scott proposed Mr. Cubitt as a fit and proper person to represent the electors of the county of West Surrey in Parliament. Mr. Nathaniel Alexander, of Epsom, seconded the nomination; and there being no other candidate proposed, the High Sheriff then declared Mr. Cubitt duly elected a member for West Surrey. Mr. Cubitt came forward, and said he thanked them for the honour they had conferred upon him in electing him as their representative in Parliament, an honour which was. the highest they could confer on him. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for the impartiality he had displayed throughout. (sporting 3nteligrart.
