SHIPBUILDERS' ASSOCIATION. An adjourned meeting of the members of this Association was held yesterday, at ten o'clock, in the Regulating Office, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Com mittee appointed to meet the Committee of the Journey men's Association, and to treat with them on the disputed questions in the trade generally. Mr. J. W. GREEN in the chair. The other members present were Messrs. Ladmore, M'Keverigan, Johnson, J. Evans, Potter, Smith, Dawson, M'Elroy, Clarke, Cato, Grayson, Paul, T. B. Jones, Legg, Fitzpatrick, R. Williams, Robert Evans, Honorary Secretay, and Mr. Crosbie, Assistant Secretary. The CHAIRMAN having obtained leave, in the absence of the report, to state verbatim what had taken place in the interview between the Committees, said—Your Com mittee met the Committee of the men on Monday evening, and the first question submitted to them was, or nearly so, " what have you done in any way to increase the number of men" ? The reply was " nothing." The next question was to the effect, ' Have you any proposition to submit to our Committee" ? And they submitted that they would agree to work by piece -work, and if that proposition were enter tained by this Association, then its Committee to draw up a scale of prices, and to submit it to them ; then it should be arranged by the two Committees, and submitted to the body in general. There may be opinions for and against piece -work, but probably, under all the circumstances, it would be the means, I don't mean to say that it would be a requisite means, but it would be the means of getting a fair day's work at all events, they would only get value for the work they did. And if this Association agrees in that system, then, probably, it may be carried out. This suggestion is partly ours, as well as theirs, so that, probably,. there may not be much difference of opinion on the subject. Mr. CATO said, as one of the Committee, he might men tion that it was nearly unanimously agreed to, that the system of piece-work should be adopted and tried, to remedy the present evil, which he had no doubt it would have a great tendency to do. And if there were any one present that had anything to say respecting it, either for or against, it would be as well to state so, and discuss the question at once. There was, he might say, one unanimous opinion on the matter, as Mr. M'Elroy alone dissented from the system. The CHAIRMAN : But I suppose that Mr. M'Elroy did not dissent from it on principle, but merely through considera tion that it would not be efficient in itself. Mr. GRAYSON thought there was little doubt that the ..+o —.11. % by v ieue-work would be a decided im provement on the present mode of acting, and would enable them to get through the work with comparative facility. The only fear was that, in avoiding Scylla they would run on Charybdis--that was, instead of not getting sufficient work as they thought now from the men, they might be getting too much. He hoped, also, that there would be no fear of not having the work well done, which was a still more important consideration than the time which it occu pied in having the work done. He was no advocate for piece-work generally. He thought the samples which they had in their iron -knees, which had been forced on them within the last twelve months, were, he was sorry to say, a very different description of article, to that which they had formerly taken pride in turning out of their own shops. He did not wish to make any objection to the proposed system, - but they should take such precautions that whilst adopting measures to increase the facilities for carrying on the work, they would at the same time look to the more important consideration of having the work well done. And he thought the committee, before they proceeded to draw up any scale of prices, should endeavour also to have a fair understanding about the amount of work that could and would be well done in the day's work. MR. CATO What does Mr. Grayson mean by saying having " too much done" ? The CHAIRMAN : I was going to make the same remark, and to say that the wages as the value of so much work would regulate that. Mr. W. B. JONES thought that the quantity of work would be regulated by the price. It would be considered what a man was able to do, and to do well, and then the price could be regulated by the London book, though in some things he thought that very high. Mr. Grayson, how ever, had justly observed that it would facilitate the carry ing out of the work, and so keep the business in Liverpool. Manyshipshasleft this port andgone elsewhere to be repaired, butifthepresent system were adopted it would give much less trouble tothe masters than the oldsystem, and the ship owners would be able to get away their ships in time—a matter of by far the greatest importance to them. As regarded the work being well done, the men, he observed, for the last twelve months, on putting the ship into the graving dock, spun out the oakum from the ship's side till they got to the lower part of the bilge, which they ran over in the last two or three days of the neaps, and thus the work was not efficiently done. Now he thought by working piece work, if there were a good foreman to look after the men, and it was the master foreman's duty to keep a sharp eye on them and see that the work was done properly—that what some members feared would be completely prevented. They saw ships constantly coming from St. John's and America that were built on the contract system, and they were splendidly finished. There was no difficulty in the matter. If they looked sharp they would get the work quite as trAl rinno oc Apr am limy if not a littla }lath, in his opinion. And as the report of the Committee in favour of the system had now come before the Association, he hoped and trusted that they would agree to it, and have the matter carried out as speedily as possible. The CRAIRMAN: Does Mr. M'Elroy make any objec tion ? Mr. MTLICOY could not see very clearly how they were going to better their condition to the extent which Mr. Jones thought, and as Mr. Grayson had very properly remarked he thought it would be an inducement to the men not to do the work so well. Now they had no such inducement. They were paid for doing a day's work, and it was not their business, it was nothing to them, nor had they any advan tage in doing a great quantity. He.thought the great con sideration was, over and above having a great deal of work done, to have it well done, and he thought the system pro posed would be an inducement to the men not to do it quite so well. The masters had their own foremen to manage the business now, as well as under the other system, and he thought by the latter there would be only a greater difficulty in getting the work well done. M. JONES replied that under the present system, many of the men spent a great part of the day in the public houses, and when they came back they just hopped over the job. Ire did not think that the work was as well done as it would be under the other system, because the men would then look after one another. When men joined in a party to work they would compel each other to attend to the work, instead of being, as many of them now were, drink- in g and idling. Mr. M'Eutor said if it would all turn out as Mr. Jones was representing., he should be very well satisfied, but he had great doubts. He could not see how the system proposed would cure the drinking. If the men slopped over the work now, why did not the foreman look to it—and would the foreman have more power when piece work came into ope ration ? His impression was that he would have much less power. The CHAIRMAN: But there is this check over him that ho cannot be paid until the work is done. Mr. M'Eutor : If all the gentlemen present are as san guine as Mr. Jones, I shall certainly make no objection. )1y only object is to hare the work done, and to have it well done, The CHAIRMAN: Well, gentlemen, you may draw the matter to a very short conclusion now. Mr. DAWSON said it was not a new principle, but one which had been tried twenty years ago, and the work was then better done. The men tried to outvie each other in doing the work well. They went in gangs, as it were, with a head to each number of men, and there was full satisfac tion given, and they did their work in half the usual time— it was well done, and much cheaper than at present. Not withstanding its being cheaper done, the average of wages was 18s. to a guinea a day; but the men worked extremely hard. The CHAIRMAN : Well, I imagine the opinion of the Association is, that it be tried. (Hear. hear.) Mr. DAWSON: Decidedly. I was conversing with one of the greatest shipowners in Liverpool, and he ageed with me that it was the true principle. The CHAIRMAN : The only question seems to be whether the work will be done well or not. Mr. DAWSON : There can be no doubt upon that. Mr. LEGG : I am of Mr. Jones's opinion that the work will be done more properly. The good men will lOok after the bad. Mr. GRAYSON: But I suppose if a shipowner should de cidedly object to have a ship repaired under that system, it will not be so universal that there cannot be an excep tion. The CHAIRMAN : I don't imagine there is any ship owner in the present age, who would do so. Mr. JONES : But we must have a fixed rate of wages, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN : Oh, your Committee must arrange that. If you will allow me I will read the report. I had not the document before. The uestion was, have you any objec tion to wo r k pi ece work ? q The answer was, No ; our Asso ciation recommends pike work, at prices to be arranged by the masters, and submitted to our (the Shipwrights' Asso ciaton), and then the Committee of both Associations to ar range and agree upon them. Mr. W. B. JONES moved that the report be adopted; that a book of prices be got up and submitted to the Aisociation, and then, that a meeting take place with delegates from the operatives. Mr. MTLROY : Would it not be well to have a book of prices for the men ? The CHAIRMAN: The men recommend the masters to pre pare it. Mr. MTLROY : Why not recommend them to make it. They have it ready. That we know, and why not submit their prices ? The CHAIRMAN: There was a difference of opinion on that ; it was supposed better to have one list than two. .1 Mr. W. B. JONES thought the book of prices would look better emanating from the masters than the men. Mr. DAWSON : I'Vhy not adopt the London prices, which have been found to work well ? The CHAIRMAN : They will have to be examined ; in some parts they are too high. All this will come out in detail. If any member seconds Mr. Jones's proposition, we shall then know what the sense of the meeting is. Mr. OA.TO seconded the motion. Mr. M'ELROY; Mr. Jones will guarantee this will cure eveqthing. Mr. JONES : No, no. Mr. M'Eutoy : You talk so sanguinely about it, one is led to imagine you would. Mr. DAWSON : I guarantee it will cure all the inferior men. They will have to run from the trade. They cannot keep up with the good men,and it will drive away all the in ferior men. The CHAIRMAN : Should the same Committee draw up the scale of prices, or will you form another Committee ? Mr. CATO thought they should get some of the older firms to join them, such. as Mr. Royden, Mr. Chaloner, and Mr. Clarke. They , ought to be invited to join in forming a book of prices; and he begged to propose that six additional members should be added to the Committee, to include the names of some of the oldest members of the Association. Mr. PAUL : Why not leave it an open Committee, and solicit them to come in. On the motion of Mr. Cato, the following names were added to the Committee: Messrs. Royden, Chaloner, Clarke, and Miller. — Mr. DAwsoN said, there would be no difficulty in draw ing up the prices. They were quite sufficiently acquainted with the trade to carry out a book of prices, even if it were left to three or four of them. The CHAIRMAN intimated that Mr. Cato had something to communicate. Mr. CA.TO : Yesterday an occurrence took place in my yard respecting my apprentice boys, which is a very grievous affair. lam in the habit of binding my apprentices, or most of them. Within the last eighteen months I have neglected this ; but, however, the great proportion of my boys are bound, and yesterday my managing man at the yard was about to bind a young boy who had been there some six months, and on being .brought into the office to be bound, he refused to sign the indentures. He was then told, as he refused, he must walk about his business. When this became known to the rest of the apprentice boys in the yard, they discontinued their labour, and said they would work no longer. They all assembled outside the gate of the yard, and I went and asked them why they left their work. They stated it was in consequence of my manager discharging a boy because he refused to be hound, and they added, they would not allow me to bind my boys, as it was coutrory to the rules and regulations of their club (great laughter) ; and that they would not work for me. There are 60 uf them left my yard, and gone, Ido not know where. I hope and trust the masters belonging to this Association will not en courage or employ them. I have sent a list of their names to each respective master, and when they get that list, I trust they will give them no encouragement. Out of the 56, there are 8 or 10 who are bound, and I shall take speedy and immediate steps for their apprehension. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIIIMA.N : I think you may take it for granted that no master of this Association will employ them. Mr. APELROY had all his apprentices bound, with three exceptions, and those three boys having objected to be bound for the same reason, he ordered them to go about their busi ness, until they had made up their minds to be bound. They had since been travelling around. They offered to return if he would not insist on binding them, but he objected to that—they should be bound. Mr. CATO : I would strongly recommend every master, whatever apprentices he takes, to bind them. Mr. GRAYSON had all his apprentices bound. Mr. DewsoN had tried the binding system, and he had no less thanseven'apprentices at one time in the House of Cor rection (laughters, and instead of being improved he found they became worse. _ _ The CHAIRMAN suggested that some arrangement should be made with the men not take them into their club. Mr. CATO had spoken to Mr. Neill on the subject, and he said he would bring the matter before the men to-night, and that he would do everything in his power to prevent the men giving them encouragement. Hitherto the boys were under an impression they could be employed by the men. Mr. W. B. JONES suggested that whilst the book of prices was in preparation that it should be submitted to the men to take contracts for _vessels in the meantime, so that the work of the port might not be delayed. Mr. M'ET.Ror : Yes, and let the prices be fixed between the masters and men. - Mr. M'KEVERIGAN said there was an understanding to that effect at the meeting. Mr. FITZPATRICK was of opininion that a clause should be introduced into each indenture compelling apprentices to attend the Mechanics' Institution nightly. To induce them to do so, he would suggest that a premium should be given to him who was most attentive. Some of the masters gave their boys 9d. a-day allowance, and the result was he could not go into a public-'house to get a glass of ale without meeting there a half dozen of boys drinking in a shameless manner. The people of Liverpool would be glad to see those boys attending school in the evening. One of his (Mr. Fitzpatrick's) boys had taken prizes at the Mechanics' Insti tution for two successive years, and he wished that all the the apprentices would follow this lad's example instead of spending their evenings learning to smoke and chew tobacco at the corners of the streets. He trusted this subject would be taken up and carried out by the association. On one occassion he paid, at the Mechanics' Institution, for every lad hit hati_ and thn first rennrt hn hair Prim lb.. was that not one of them had attended there more than seven nights. Mr. CATO said he was a member of the Mechanics' Insti tution, and a great number of his apprentices went there. Mr. GRAYSON explained that the 9d. a-day allowance given to apprentices was paid in money, in addition to their wages, not given in drink as parties might infer from Mr. Fitzpatrick's remarks. The CHAIRMAN : The original intention of this allowance was to compensate for the additional injury done to boys clothes in the graving docks. Mr. W. B. JONES thought it would be an improvement if the association raised a fund to take the park theatre and turn it into a school. (Laughter). He saw plenty of those boys around there now in the evenings. — Mr. FITZPATRICK said the matter should not be made a joke of. • Mr. Peur. : Are we to understand that this Association givesup the idea of introducinc , strangers into the town or of making them free. The great object of this association was to break down a monopoly which exists here—a monoply which does not allow any other shipwright in the kingdom to work alongside those men in Liverpool. The CHAIRMAN : That certainly was my object. Mr. PAUL : I thought it was the object of all those meetings. Mr. M 4 ELnoy : The question was put by me directly, so that there was no getting clear of it in any way, " have you any objection, or will you allow even the men who are now in Liverpool, not belonging to your club, to work with you ?" The answer was, "we cannot and will not" Mr. PAUL: Let that go to the world fully. Let the world understand that this is a monstrous monopoly which you cannot break down: Mr. JONES : Strangers can come and take work. Mr. GRAYSON : It won't prevent strangers from coming here. Mr. M'ELnoY was of opinion if they had a sufficient number of men, the system of working by the day would be better. That was why he dissented from piece work. Mr. CLARKE said his firm had employed strangers for the last six months, owing to arrangements made at that period. They could not nor should they think of turning those men out of their yard. (Hear). The CHAIRMAN : Strangers will be encouraged as they have been, and perhaps more so. It is a matter for the consideration of the committee. The proceedings then terminated. ADVERTING TO ADVERTISE3IENTS.—It can scarcely be denied that the times have placed a number of persons in unpleasant situations ; and it is equally certain that a number of unpleasant situations are not unfrequently placed in the Tintes.—Diogenes. CHOLERA ON BOARD THE GUIDING STAR.—The Belfast News Letter of Monday, says: —lt is with deep concern we have to announce the following facts, the accuracy of which may be relied on. A la rge an d splendid emigrant vessel, the Guiding Star, 2,000 tons burden left Liverpool on Thursday se'nnight,anchored in our Lough en Saturday morning, after being nine days in the Channel, in a disabled state, and with Asiatic cholera of a very fatal type rife among hn passengers. Shortly atter leaving the Mersey, she experienced violent gales, lost her main-topmast, main-yard, and several of her spars and sails. and finally was obliged to enter Belfast Lough to refit. Before drop ping anchor off Cultra, six further deaths hed occurred on board from cholera, or choleraic diarrhoea, and during the day (Saturday) two more had died, making nine deaths in all. On the intelligence of her arrival, under these circum stances, in our Lough, Captain De Courcy, the Government emigration officer,accompanied by Dr.M‘Gee,Mayor, and Dr. Pirrie, medical officer of the Mercantile Marine Board, visited the ship. Dr: Piarie, on his return, stated that eleven perso ns were lying ill on board, of whom ten had been seized with cholera, and that of these several were in the collapsed stage. Measures were at once taken for the interment on shore of the dead, and for the separation of the sick from the healthy. The captain of the ship sailed. on Saturday evening for Liverpool, for the purpose of bring ing over a powerful steam-tug to take the Guiding Star to her own port. The ship has a medical officer on board, who, we have been informed, has been unremitting in his care of the sufferers. Ne have been assured that all proper precautions were at once adopted to prevent the spread of contagion—if, as some believe, the epidemic be really contagious. Since Friday night five new cases of cholera occurred on board the vessel. According to information received at a late hour last night, we learn that the total number of deaths has been thirteen—viz., one at Liverpool, six at sea, and six in Belfast Lough. The dead bodies remaining on board were yesterday evening conveyed to the burial ground of the Belfast Workhouse, and there interred. The sick, in number twelve or thirteen, have been removed to the workhouse hospital. The ship was left free from disease. JUST THE DIFFERENCE.-- , The enthilsifistle ad mirers of the "greatest tragedian since the days . of Edmund Kean" (vide advertisement), now boast, that since Mr. G. V. Brooke h as r i sen to the top of the tree, Mr. Phelps has gone to the Bottom.—Diogenes Illi THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. [The following appeared with a part of onr impres sion of yesterday.] The American mail steamer, Atlantic, Captain West, has just arrived in the Mersey, from New York, whence she sailed on the 29th ult. By her we have received our usual files of papers and private correspondence from that port to the date on which she left, which are four days later than those previously to hand. The Atlantic has brought 500,000 dollars in specie, and 98 passengers. During the passage she experienced strong S.W. winds, and was de tained several hours in the channel by fog. She also waited at the bar one hour for water. The steamer Niagara, from Liverpool, with ad vices to the 16th ult., reached Boston at three o'clock p.m., on the 28th ult. Her mails were delivered in New York on the morning of the 29th. The steamer Hermann, from Southampton, ar rived at New York on the morning of the 29th, after a rough passage. The steamer Northern Light had arrived at New York (after having put into Norfolk), from San Juan, with 1,500,000 dollars in specie, and advices from San Francisco to the Ist of October. The commercial news from the Golden State was deemed to be rather unsatisfactory. The markets generally are represented as being depressed, owing to accumulated stocks, and a general decline had taken place in nearly all the leading articles. Goods upon which an advance had heen obtained in August, and which had been stored in anticipation of better prices, were in some instances, being forced upon the market at ruinous prices, owing to the scarcity of money. No immediate improvement was looked for, as merchants were compelled to pay large sums for freight upon goods arriving, which were being stored to save shippers from serious losses. The inrisct sums obtained as advances on goods stored, had, it is stated, Peen, 111 alui o ovowy ni ce. re mitted to the Atlantic States ; renewals were con sequently made with extra difficulty. The great staple of California—Gold Dust—came in slowly, but prices were unchanged. With the commence ment of the rainy season increased receipts were calculated upon. The Californian mails of the Ist of October had reached New York by the steamer Ohio, and those for England have come forward by the Atlantic. The British mail steamer, Conway, is reported to have put into Savannah, disabled ; her passen gers and mails were all safe. Our New York correspondent writes—that the bark Howard, from Newport, Wales, bound to Norfolk, Vr., with railroad iron, went ashore on the 22nd, on Watchaprigne shoals ; the crew were all saved. The ship William Sturgess, of Boston, and the ship Lapland, from St John's, N. 8., both bound to Liverpool, have been reported ashore ; the former, 24 miles west of Quoddy Head—a tow-boat has gone to her assistance ; the latter was ashore at Trescott, Me., her masts were gone, and had ten feet of water in her hold—she would be almost a wreck. From Washington we learn that John Duffy, of New York, has been appointed Consul to GalwaY, Ireland, and A. D. Gall, of Indiana, to the same office at Antwerp. At Pittsburgh a serious Irish riot had occurred between some railroad laborers, from Cork, and some from Connaught, in which two men had fallen victims,=.and . several others were injured. , At Providence, on the night of the 26th, a serious fire occurred: It broke out in a dry goods store, in the Howard Block, which spread so rapidly that before the flames could be subdued nearly the en tire Block was consumed—the Theatre and Mu seum included. The total losS is estimated at from 300,000 to 500,000 dollars. In New York the Free Soil Democrats lAA held a great Mass meeting in Tammany Hall, for the purpose of ratifying the nominations made by that party for City and County Officers. The Free Democrats also assembled at the Stuyvesant Insti tute, which was thinly attended. The ship Plymouth Rock had arrived at Callao, from Melbourne, Port Philip, she sailed on the 20ths of August, and arrived at Callao on the 20th September—thus making the voyage in thirty-one daysL--=the shortest on record. The advices are not quite so late as those received direct. The general advises brought to New York by the steamers 1V ortiletn Light and Ohio are of general interest. The health at the Isthmus was good, and the roads in good order. A rumour was current in San Francisco that another expedition was organizing in that place, or other ports of California of a revolutionary character, against the ;date of Ecuador. The officials are said tope upon the look out for the purpose of suppressing ,such Movements. From Oregon we are informed that a treaty has been concluded with the Indians on Rouge River. The Indians were to be paid 60,000 dollars for the land, 1,500 dollars being witheld as indemnity to persons who have suffered by their depredations. The Alta-California states that a number of Russians (12,000) are preparing to emigrate to the Sandwich Islands, under the immediate auspicies of the Emperor. The same paper calls upon the United States government to look into this matter, as assuredly such emigration cannot be supposed. to be for the sole purpose of colonization; and that it is improbable that England, or France, will look upon it as such. From Valparaiso we learn that two hundred thousand dollar's worth of property had been destroyed in the city by fire. A Brazilian war vessel—the first—had entered the harbour. Twb destructive fires had occurred in the province of Capaipo.. Freights were firm at Valparaiso, and flour had advanced in price. At the Chincha Islands there were upwards of one hundred vessels loading or waiting their turn to receive cargoes of guano. Several of these ves sels must remain for months at the islands before they can be supplied. It was said that the Peruvian government had agreed to allow full compensation for the insults and injury to the Americans. Queen Pomare, having been cured of the small pox, issued a decree to the Constituent Assembly of Tahiti, which is published, as is also the address of the United States Consul to the King of the Sandwich Islands upon the occasion of his presen tatiou to his Majesty. We have later advices from- Central. America. Our dates from the.capital of Costa Rica are up to the Bth ult., and in the journals which we have received from San Jose we have dates from Gua temala to. the 2nd of September, and from San Salvador to the 9th. Hostilities were still being carried on between these two last-named republics. party of men, under one Senor Rubi, had inva , (led the territory of Guatemala, and sacked some towns. On the other hand, a party of three hundred men, under the command .of Colonel. Zabala. had landed in the port of Omoa, belonging to Honduras. The commandant of the latter port was shut up in the Castle with his garrison, being only provisioned for eight days. Forces had been sent to the assistance of the garrison. The Central American papers were discussing the question of the proposed Spanish protectorate, and .. had mostly aeclared opposition to that scheme. The commercial news is, upon the whole, per haps, rather more satisfactory ; the demand for money continued active ; and, although there had been no reduction in the rate of interest, yet there was evidently more confidence felt in in commer cial circles. On call, money was freely offered, but long commercial paper was with difficulty negoci ated at the current rates. The contraction on the part of the banks, from the 15th to the 22nd instant, they contracted their discount lines 2,469,000 dollars, making since the 6th August upwards of twelve and a half millions of dollars. The decrease in the deposits last week was 3,319, 000 dollars. Some of the merchants complain that the banks treat them illiberally. The latest report of the Stock market says,—Stocks have fluctuated a good deal during the week ; the tendency is now up ward, but the improvement will hardly be extensive or lasting until we have an easier money market. Prices of nearly all the speculative descriptions stand higher than at this time last week. The imports of dry goods continued large, and as the fall trade was over they would prove a dead weight. Foreign Exchange was depressed by the scarcity of money. The quotations on London were from 109! to 1091. Our correspondent gives the folloWing statement of the condition of . the markets for bread stuffs. On- Wednesday, only a limited business was done in flour, owing to the extreme rates asked for freights, the late unfavourable advices brought out by the Asia, and the tightness of the money mar ket. On Thursday, upon the receipt of the Nia gara's news via Halifax, (by telegraph), which is considered favourable, some activity sprung up, and more was doing in almost all descriptions of brands, at improved prices. This continued, throughout Friday. The commoner kinds of flour being most in demand, Southern was somewhat less asked for. The advices from California report the departure from San Francisco of the steamer Pacific for San Juan del Sud, with 460 passengers and $1,500,000 in gold, and the steamer Panama, for Panama, with $1,100,000 in gold.

MONEY AND STocßs.—We are unable to quote any ma terial improvement in the market for Money, so far as it effects mercantile paper and time negotiations on Railway Securities. The former, when strictly prime, is done at 12 per cent., the lower grades meeting little encouragement, even at more extravagant rates. The rapid rise in the Stock Exchange since Monday was partially checked, and the market closed dull, and at a de cline of 1 to 11 per cent. on Railroads, both speculative and investment, while the Coal Stocks continued moderately firm.

DISPUTE' BETWEEN THE CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM PACKET COMPANY, AND THE CHESTER AND HOL Y HE-AD I€A4L WAY UOMP ANY_ The half-yearly meeting of tbe City of Dublin steam Packet Company took place in Dublin, on _ , ,londay.. Sir. J. K. James in the chair. The greater part of the Report was taken up in referring to the dispute with the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. On this subject the Report says ; At the last meeting of proprietors the directors commu nicated the progress of the negotiations with the Chester and Holyhead, and London and North Western Railway Companies, and of the interruption, by those parties, to some arrangements which had been agreed to under their seals. The directors have now to state that all efforts on their part to induce the railway companies to submit any ques tions, arising out of the sealed agreement, to settlement by arbitration, have proved unavailing. This is the more to be regretted, and is the more indefensible, from the fact, that that mode of settling di-putes had not only been expressly provided for by the sealed heads of agreement, but had ac tually been requested by the 'directors of the Chester and Holyhead Company. The reluctance subsequently . mani fested, and the refusal finally given to adopt. the fair prin - eiple of arbitration, must necessarily lead to the conviction that the railway company felt too sensibly the groundless ness of their views to allow of their trusting their case in the hands of any disinterested and impartial tribunal for de eis;on. " The - directors of the Chester and Holyhead Company scon afterwards proceeded, in direct violation of their sealed agreement with this company, to discontinue complying With such parts of it as they considered not to be in accor dance with their own interests ; while the London and North Western Company declined to fulfil their engage milts with our company for the establishment of the same through rates for goods as well as for . passengers, by way of Live-pool, as had been previously in operation on the Holyhead line. " This breach of agreement might have rendered it diffi cult to maintain our goods traffic, had not the friends and supporters of the company, and the public generally, refrained from pressing for the adoption of the through booking system, and which (in perfect reliance on the English railways carrying 'out in good faith their engage ments) the directors had expected to have established via Liverpool. "It is, however, satisfactory to state that there are other lines and modes of conveyance from the great manu facturing towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire to Liverpool, equally advantageous to the pubtic, and which, being equally interested with our company in retaining the traffic in its accustomed channels, the directors are now working inharmonious co-operation with them on the through booking system. It is right to communicate to the proprietors, that a few days prior to the commencement of the negotiations which were soon after ratified under the respective seals of the Chester and Holyhead and London and North Western Companies, a letter was received from the Chairman of the Chester and Holyhead Company, in which he stated that there was no desire on their part to divert to Holyhead any of our Liverpool traffic ; their object being, to cultivate a new traffic, none of which went in the vessels of our Company. " With such a pledge, your directors felt neither difficulty nor hesitation in entering into the proposed traffic arrange ments. The directors are unwilling to impute to the Chair man of the Chester and Holyhead Company a deliberate intention of missleading, or of lulling them into a false state of security, but they feel abundantly warranted in maintain ing that,- after having given so distinct an assurance of not interfering with our goods traffic, he should in good faith have refrained from seeking to divert our Liverpool trade to Holyhead, as soon as the arrangements of his company were ripe for the attempt. Happily the attempt met with but limited success. " When your directors obtained the mail contract they felt called on to perform it with the utmost regard to the public convenience ; and influenced by this motive they did not hesitate, notwithstanding the reduction in the fares, to accede to the ioroposal made by the directors of the Chester and Holyhead Company in 1851, that the through tickets should be made available in the mail packets on the same terms as by the morning express boats of the railway com pany. Your directors aye never since interfered with any of those through booking arrangements, all having been left in the hands of the railway boards, and when the differences took place between the companies no retaliatory measure of terminating an arrangement so acceptable to the public was adopted on the part of this company. The directors of the. Chester and Holyhead Company have, however, recently given public notice that from the let December next, they will confine the through booking system to their own boats. Your directors have considered that the effect of this pro ceeding will be to induce a considerable portion of the traffic to adopt the cheaper route via Liverpool, have not hesitated to decide on sailing the passenger vessels from Kingston harbour every evening as heretofore (Sunday excepted.) last—sales 1800 bbls., the markets closing steadily at our revised quotations. The sales besides include Thin Mess at $l5 25c. ; Sour db: $l4 50c:; Sour - Prime $8 to $8 25c.; and Rumps $l2 to $l2 25c. Prime Mess is quiet and no minal at $l4 50c., and Clear, $lB 50c. to $l9.

Beef Hams continue scarce ; small sales of new are making to arrive at $l5. Old are quiet and nominal at $lO to $ll. Dressed Hogs come forward slowly, and there is nothing of importance doing.

FREIGHTS —Previous to the arrival of the steamer, were dull, but the market, since her advices were received, (by telegraph,) has become firmer again. To France there has been less going, owing to the high rates demanded. There is a demand for vessels, but owners ask high pricas. To California, there is less offering, but the number of vessels loading being small, rates are sustained.
