AFFAIRS OF THE ESTATE Of Tll°l [MATE'S OF ;HE LTV,. RPOOL DOCKS. "The Memorial of the Liverpool Shipowner: Aseociaion. adopted at a special general meeting held on Saturday, the 17th October, 1837, Sheweth,—That very serious inconvenience lies been for some time experierced by the mercantile and shipping interests of the pert ef Liverpool, in cmsequetece of the great went of snfficient dock accommodation, and as the trade of the port is constantly increasing to an extent beyond all contempbetion, the evil complained of requires the earliest possible remedy. " That cur memorialists need only refer to the published returns of the shipping fc qnsntieg the port, calling your attention to the large tonnegA, great length, and mode of coestructicn of Vent's at this time, and elpeeieliy steamers, which have doubl d thEir tonnage in five years, to show the enormous increwe of trade ; aid it frequently happens that ships have to lie for weeks in the river till dock space can be found to admit them, and, when admitted, here to wait days before quay vpsce can be provided to berth them either for discharging or lording, to the serious loss and great inconvenience of the owners and charterers of those khips, and all persons interestel in their cargoes. "That your memorialists are aware of vessels being diverted 'from Liverpool by the want of dock accommoda tion, while the ships engaged in the Queb:c trade rarely can make th , it two voyages wi,hin the season, owing to the certain detention which awaits them at this port : thus causing a heavy loss to the income of the dock estate. "That your memorialists are aware that provision has been recently made by Parliament for the eomple:ion of the Birkenhead - docks, and your memorialists trust thst no delay or impediment will exist in the providing that addi tional accommodation; but your memorialists are satisfied that fhe Birkenhead docks, when completed, will not provide all the space reqeired by the mercantile and shipping interests to meet the pregreseive requirements of the trade of the port, and bearing in mind the fact that there is a vast amount of trade for which provision must be made exclusively on the Liverpool side of the river, a greatincrease Of dock room in Liverpool is necessary. "That you memorialists have been informed that appli cation for ar ew Dock Bill wid be made in the ensuing seesion, and that the parliamentary notices for the same will shortly be given; and your memorialists are of opi nion that your committee will be ftely justified in including in Che application the obtaining of - powers to borrow a aufficient sum to enable the dock trust to extend the dock accommodation at Liverpool ; and that, locking to the wants present and pro'pective of the port, your memo rialists would submit that it is the duty of your coma mittee to apply for such powers." "Your memorialists therefore respectfully request that your e ramittee will include in the notices for a New Dock Bill the intention to apply for powers to borrow money to such an amount as will enable the Mersey Docks snd Harbour Beard to provide within the earliest prac ticable - period a very great increase of dock space, and especially quay space on the Liverpool side of the Mersey. " S R GRAV , ,c, Chairman." With the above was the following let er:— "TO 'DANIEL MASON, FSQ., SECRET Ala TO THE DOCK COMMITTEE. " Sh'powner's Association Liverpool, Oct. 19,`1857. "Sir,—l have been directed by the chairman of the Liver pool Shipowners' Association to transmit to you the en closed memorial for the Dock Committee, upon the subject of dock extention on the Liverpool side of the Mersey, and to request that you will be so good as to lay the same before the committee at their meeting on Thursday next.— I am, sir, your very obedient servant. "T. CARSON, Secretary" The following letter was received from the hle: Hrs. Booker on the same subject : " TO THE Tin/STELE OF THE LIVERPOOL DOCNIE. " Liverpo Al, Oct. 21, 1857. "Gentlemen—We bag to call your attention to the wan' of dock accommodation in this port, alike detrimental to the merchant as well as to the great trust under your management. "We have a vessel that arrived some days ago, after a long passage, with a cargo of shipbuilding timber; but, owing to the crowded state of the south docks, we have been nnable to get a~commoda'ion, although the harbour master hts done all in hit power to serve us. We, there fore, had no alternative but to allow her t 3 remain in the river, or squeeze her into some other dock where there is no pcss bitity of discharging a cargo of the kind, and bow long we may wait no one can tell; for, besides the vessels in dock, a number are waiting, having a priority of claim to curs. " We have three other vessels on their way home with similar cargoes, which we shall be compelled to send to some other port. We did hops and trust, in common with many other merchants, after a parliamentary cireer of no ordinary lengLl-, your representations would have been fruccersful in obtaining permission to extend the docks on ibis side of the river, encouraging rather than discouraging the trade of th:s port.—We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants, " GEORGE BOORsR & CO " At a subsequeni period of the meeting the following commutications from 'he Chamber of Commerce-were also read, and had reference to the same subject : 6 .

Ale ter was read from the Poor Law Commissioners, intimating that they would offer no farther objecion to the appointment of a pay. clerk for the township, but asking to be informed, at the end of the jeer, whether the ee'rvicet of such an officer were still considered necessary. Mr. ROBVISON called attention to a letter which appeared in the Daily Post of yesterday, signed by Mr. Whittle the medical officer of the union. He thought it would have been an act of courtesy, and one which he, as an officer of the Board, should have performed, to have informed the Board of the cFrcurnstances of the care to which he referred in his letter, before writing such a communication to the editor of a newspaper. (Hear, hear.) Had he mentioned the case to the Board it would have received every atten tion and consideration, because, if they had erred, it was from want of full information (Hear, hear.) They had just given relief in the case from a sense of its necessity, and not under the restraint of that letter. He expec:ed that, as an officer of the Board, Mr. Whittle should have communicated the case to the guardians, from whom it would have received every attention, before writing such a letter to a newspaper.. (Heir, hear.) The CUAIRMAN quite agreed with Mr. Robinson. The Guardians could not know the circareLta,nces of every case, but if at any time any respectable person in the Union called their attention to any case, it would receive every consideration at their hands. (Hear hear). This concluded the general business. COUNTY COURT. Yest-rday M.

About five o'clock in the morning, the gill went into the shop and asked for some drink, which stie was refused, and then she went into the street and smashed the glass. She was sent to gaol for two months, in default of paying the amount of damage. FtarsLs BURGIAR.B.—Two females, named Bridget Devitt, and Catherine Costello, were charged with having br ken into s cellar (a dwelling) in Duko-street, and stolen a quantity of wearing apparel, belonging to the occupant, a man named Patrick Brannan. It appeared that about three in the morning a police officer got the prisoners leaving the cellar with a bag containirg wearing apparel belonging to the prosecutor. It appeared also that the prisoners entered the place by breaking through the window. It wask stated that the prisoners, although rather young-looking, were old burglars, and were formerly convicted cf such offences, They were sent for trial at the ass;zes. BIMODB Mrssrts 'CROSTRW4ITR AND SHIM. Mr. Tyndall appeared on behal of the Beard of Trade, to prosecute Lewis Jones, the master of a ship called the Irena, for having employed an unlicersed person to ship seamen for him. The case was brought under the 147th section of the Shipping Act. Mr. Snowball was for the defendant, and proved that his c ient was the person who engaged the men, and that he was entitled to do so by the act. In fact, the witne swh cams forward to support the prosecution, clearly proved thie, and the case wasdismissed. There were then five charges brought against James W. Gordon, of 1, Duke-street, for having acted as a shipping master, without a license. In these cases it was proved that Mr. Gordan had not acted, and the charges were di ,miste d CORONER'S COURT-YESTERDAY. The Coroner proceeded yesterday with the inquest on the body of the chill named Fredari.'k Fendle, four weeks old When th.e inquest was opened, Mr. Whittle, a surgeon, said the child was brought to him on Friday evening last in a comatose state, and evidently labouring under the it fluence of some narcotic. The child was eelica.e and died. On a post mortem examination of the b xly, he found congestion of the brain to be the cause of death, and be believed this had been caused by medicine that was given to the child. Mr. Erwin Taylor, who gave the medicine to the child, was examine', but, previously, he was,given the usual caution. He said he w a a e h ym i s t, an d had a shop in Richmond-row. The mother of the child brought it to the shop on Friday last, and a'ked for something to allay the griping pain in the child's bowels He gave her an ounce of a mixture which he had already made up for su.th ailment. He put a label on be bottle, with directions that a teaspoonful should be given for a dcse. The mixture was made of calcined magnesia, half an ounce ; of powdered rhubarb, one drachm ; paregoric elixer, two cunces ; spirit of nitre, one ounce ; trettee, four (sums ; spirit of sal vola tile, one ounce •, water, one pint. About from one eighty to one hundred part of a grain of opium would be contained in a teaspoonful of the mixture. The paregoric wan, so far as he knew, prepared according to the London Pharmacopeia. The child's mother said she measured half a teaspoonful as well as she could. Mr Taybr, in reply to the jury, said ha kept the mixture in a bottle chiefly for his own family, and not for the purpose of sale, and dii not retail it out generally. Dr. J. B. Eiwards. lecturer on chemistry, said he received from the beadle of the court a bottle containing five fluid drachms, and on examination he found the presenc- of morphia and nar cotic acid, two cf the constituent parts of opium, but in very small quantities If th e m i x t ure contained half a drachm of paregoric, the quantity of opium under analysis would not exceed one-ninth of a wain, corresponding to . ope-ninety of a grain of morphia, and one hundred and eighty of a grain of narcotic ac:d There were three fluid drachms of the mixture missiug, which would contain in like proportion one-fifteenth of a grain of opium, equal to one one-five hundred and fifty of a grain of morphia, and one-three hundred of a grain of narcotic ad I. The smallest f teal dose on record was one twelfth of a grain of opium, which was given to a child two days old ; bat the action of opium on young infants was extremely uncertain. To the Court : He considered the practice of chemists prescribing opium, in any "quantity or shape, to young infants, injurious and much to be condemned The coroner then charged the jury, summing up, very carefully, the evidence, and pointed out the difference between a verdict of " Chance medley,'' which was not punishable, and other ver het& The jury returned a verdict of " Chance Medley .

THs BOILER EXP,LOSION IN REOCNT BTRI4T.—The next inquest was held on the body 6f William Golding, an engineer, 25 years of age, who was killed on Tuesday evening, in Regent-street. by the explosien cf a boiler, at the steam-mills of Mr. Hull, in tha• street. Ralph Boa. thorne, a. miller, was examined, and the amount of his evidence was that he saw the deceased, a short time before the explosion, at the door of the boiler.honse. There was an eng'neer for the night, the deceased being the day engineer. The deceased had some drink at the time. Heard the explosion, and se w bricks, smoke, and steam flying about. Saw the foot of deceased protruding from a heap of bricks, which were cleared away, and the body of the deceased got out ; his face and body were scorched, and he was quite dead. It was the duty of the engineer to supply the boiler with water. The engines and boiler were examined on Sunday last by Mr. Moore's men, who made the boiler, and no fault was found with them He had known the deceased to be in liver, but very seldom, but could not say the employer knew it. John Tempest., a mill p . cker, was next examined : He said she deceased was in liquor, but knew what he was doing. The evidence of this witness was chiefly corroborative of the other witness. Mr. William Hull was examined, and the sub stance of his evidence was, that the engine was 14 home • power; but the boiler was for 30. The deceased was in his employment for five years, and was a practical engineer, and his only duty was to teed the engine. The water was supplied to the boiler by force-pump, wi h conducting pipes. If a man only took care of what be was about, he m•ght set the water on so that he need not go near it durirg the day. There was an index at the point of the boiler to indicate the sties of the water. The boiler was made by Mr. S. Abort), of Mdl-street, and was examined by his men on Sunday last, who reported it to be in first rate order. He was of opinion that deceasel let she water run too low, and then turned it on too suddenly. The deceased was five or six years in his father's employment, and he considered him a steady man ; he heard once that he was tipsy, but he never allowed a drunken man on his premises. Thinks the plates of the boiler would have borne a great deal more pressure than was on it— it would . bear 801 be., but it was never worked beyond 40,bs. Joseph Bradbury, a man in Mr. Moore's emp'oyment, said the boiler was made about five years ago. He examined it on Sunday last, and found it in an excellent state. Thi.3 w tness gave it as his opinion, that the explosion took place in consequence of the rush of water let into the boiler, which would make it go off like a gun Mr. Samuel Baker, an engineer and boiler-maker, was examined as to his opinion of the explo sion, and he gave it as his decided opinion that it took place in consequence of the water being let in so flush— had the boiler burst from pressure, it would have been in a different place from thetrwhere it did buret. He c Ju ddered the boiler a very goad one. David Hugginson, the night engineer at the premises, was examined, and said he left the engine well on Tuesday morning The Jury said they had t ufficient avid: nee to found a verdict, and they found that " the death of deceased was caused by the explosion of the boiler, the said explosion being the rectal of his own neglect."

ShTheffieelD d uk on e of w C ed anmetsday,b ;tags and Sir Harry Smith were at upon the occeoion of laying the first stone of a raonament, in honour of those fellow townsmen who fPil in the Russian war. The day was observed as a pr_d3lic holiday The Duke and the General expressed the,ir convictions concerning the rebellion in India. Tbe address of his Royal Highness was popular and discreet. He came to Sheffield, he said, because the feeling of the town towards the al•my was so ht.ndsome. so laudable, and so satisfactory. He expressed a hope that its example in furnishing recruits for the army would be followed by other towns. The only subject which of late had given him anxiety was the recruiting of the army. He would, however, tell them that the ordinary recruiting for the army was progressing in a manner perfectly incredible. The ordinary means of recruiting have, in two days alone, produced 800 men. That is a result which was never obtained during the Bussian war ; a. result which was never equaled in the military history of the country. Adverting t 3 India, his Royal Highness spoke with con fidence of the efforts of England to put down the revolt. I trust, he steel, that no undue leniency will bs adopted That appears a very harsh and unfeeling remark. That is nothing of the kind. What does it mean ? We have an army of 70;010 men who have mutinied—noboay knows why. Are these 70,000 men to be allowed to go broad cast over the country, massacring men, women f and children, without receiving the punishment due to such crimes? Just so, gentlemen,aherefore let us have justice, and stern justice. In noticing the military condition of England, the duke said he had always urged the need of being prepared for every emergency, but our principle of action has been to cut down our establishment until we had nothing for an emergency. Now we , have had two important lessons, one after the other. We have had the Crimean war which found us unprepared, and we have had the la. e disaster in India. Well, gentlemen, two succasive warnings should be a lesson for all times. THE PAPFR DUTY DfIiWBAOK ON ENVELOPE cuTroas. We have already mentioned that the Government have consented to grant a drawback on the duty of that portion of paper which is wasted by envelope cuttings.

The memorialist represented : That In the process of rutting envelopes there is a considerable waste of paper; that this waste is cf view only for the pnrpere of being re-made into paper, for which pa-pose year memortili,t sells it at £l9 per ton, and that the duty on th's sum is .€l4 14s, a duty from which the envelope maker, who is also a mill owner, is exempt, as it's paper 13 not charged till it is made into envelopes, and the waste is thns returned to the mill without the payment of duty. A mem-aria' was also sent to the Beard of Inland Revenue which recited the prec Ain; statement, and added that pasteboard makers aro allows(' to escape the duty.on the paste, that Florentine buttons are exempted from duty, and that a drawback is given on cards used for the Jacquard loom. In reply to which the Board of Inland Revenue say, they Have carefullr cons! hrel 'ha ms mortal, and they desire to say that they see so much diffl3ulty as well as danger to the revenue in the way • of an extension of the indn'gence refereng to envelope makers who are n t p•+per makers, that they cannot consent to give effect to wishes In this respszt. . • • Another appeal was made to the Board, which said:— I confess I do tilt see the dielen'ty of making such ar - anTements as would prevent f and on the revenue. I sell my waste to a paper mss, and it would bs very easy for me to arrange that I should deliver it in the presence of ihe supervi or, who might either give me an order for the drawback, or deduct the am)unt from the mill - owner's ace cunt, with whom I could mike my arrangements. The Board replied— After a careful re-consideration of the whole subje t the Board are unable #o satisfy themselves that the concession in question could be granted with safety to the revenne. The memorialist then wrote to the Treasnry, saying— Your msmorialst whilst acknowledginl the courtesy or the Board, complains that their refusal is not acooms.anied by any specific reason. The principle of giving drawbusks not authorised by the Act of Parrament, having ',een once admittel, it becomes the duty of those who have the power to grant them, to examine every case presented to them and not to reuse any claim which is foundsd on a grievance eqn-1 to any which has been previously redressed, unless it can be shown that such previously redressed grievance can be reireand with less danger of fraud on the revenue than would accrue from the entertainment cf the subseinent Your memorialist therefore priys that your Lordships will grant him a drawback on the waste of his enve'o vs, or, falling this, that rol will call upon the Board of inland Revenue to explain why such drawback woull lead to a fraud on- the revenue, so that your memorialist may have the opoortanity of stating to your Lordships the reasons why he thinks sue a I osition nntera'ole. Tile Treasury replied : The law has made no provi.lon for a return of duty in ouch cases, and my Loris do not thi.ik it wo ;Id be expedintt to com?ly with your application with refdrence to tho case of envelope mak-re. who are el.o mil owners ; their envelopes are mad • from piper befo e the. duty has bees cherged ppm it, and under the supervis'on of the surveying officers cf Exese. No claim, therefore, arises wi h respect to the cuttings; as they areremanu'acturel without leaving the premises the revenue is not exposed to risk. The memorialist again wrote to the Treasury : I hive submitted a plan w:iich. ai it appears to mg, waul I obviate any attempt at frau.% and my regnost Wll3 that If yon did not at once concede the erawback in my me, you would call on the Board of Inland Revenue to explain the:r reasons for thinking it neee , s try to deny it. This part of my request you hare ignored. I the..•aore aTlin call your attention to it, and submit that if you persig in refusing to grant this portion of my prayer, it wi 1 appear that the reason for denying my second request is the jaAlce of the first. Then came the final order from the Treisury, as for 1 0 A'S- I an directed by the Lords Commissioners. of 16 Maje , ty's Tr asury to t nform yon that since the recelat of your farther appl cution of the Ist of August, my Loris hive been 'a commanicalon with the Board of Inland revenue, for the purpose of seeing whether regulations might not be framed, under wh'elt the cor.ceision for which you epply might b 3 made without serious ri.lt to the revenue, and my Loros have now given authority to the Board of Wand Revenue to pay draw'aack of duty charged on a aste cuttings of paper made int) e ivelopes, on proof t) the wilt tion of the commislfotters that th? cutti igi have teen reduced to pulp at a paper mill, or otherwise destroyed. (Signed) CHIAALEC TREYS LEAN. THE SENATOR AT ST. HELENA. The case of the Senator seems to have excited as roue interest and sympathy amongst the inhabitants of St. Helena as it has amongst the mercantile community of England. The late advices from the island state that a demonstration of nearly the whole of the inhabitants had been made to the governor in favour of the captain,and that the governor had been well disposed to release him or send him to England, apart from any legal questions as to the validity of the ti hi, but upon tho merits, and desired the concurrence of the home authorities. The St. Helena Herald says:— About two months ago a 1 etition, praying r the ca , taln's re'etse or far the mitiga'ioa of his sense ce, was prepared, and we were gratified oso withou , our advocation, that the petition was most re , p etably and numerously signed. We believe the sympa.hy of the inhabitants qte. erally has been al-o em t'd tn behalf of Cap'ain Lees by the subsecinen• c nduet of the second mate, the prosecutor, af,r. ing a test of his integrity, who, 'vaunting himself a pugilist, disc/ ate in his habits, appezing in the pub is stree s with disfigure-1 face, abasing himse f.o as to render hospital treatment imreratiye through inebri-ty and his comb ititive ro_ , ensities, manifes ed in c ntinnal broils with oth,rs, we should say w jest the man who delighted in a quarrel. Be 11,4 surprised the inhabi tants, who now have suspicions of his evidence. This petition, accompanied by strong tesbnonials from le ding firms in London, Llverpooi, and Bombay, as to Captain Lce's sobrie y, go d conduct, and humanity, was presented to his excellency by George Moss, Esq. (con u'), and others. It wits anticipated, frcen the ci cum.slan - es . set loth in the petition, the number and respectability of the signatures, and the strong testimorval from such firms as Gibbs Bright, and co. ; Cassells and Co ,or Bombay; ltathbone Brothers. Tobin and Co. ' sad others, that a favourable result wo u ld ere this have followed. lie era Gibbs, Bright, and Co., says :—" always considered him an exceedir gly at and energetic officer, and can speak highly as to his general good char cter and humanity. paracu'arly shown in his general k:nt n -sa to crews and passengers " Mes rs. Caisells says : —i• We can with mach p'easure bear testimony to your excellent conduct. Daring three d:ffrrent periods your ship was consigned to our firm 3on were always most temperate and stsady in your habits, attentive to your duties d discipline. You appeared b art on a high and p oper principle, and gave us the impr scion of a very effis ent commander." Messrs. Etatlitone, the tanners, say :-- 1 Captain Lees has for several yearn been employed in ships under v luso friends Lamport, and Ho t, cnd ourselves; und that is the first cmap!ali twe have ever had age' at him. His charac ter for sobrir.ty, good condu t, and humanity, were such that none of tho , e who had known him here could believe him capable of inten lonely committing the deed chsrged aisinst him." Here, then, we have evidence of the unmicep , ionahls charadt r of the captain sustained during the period ho was in command of several vas'e's. We have the deep interest taken in his beha' fby his owners and others, and, added, the earnest ler:pest of a respectrale pablic, the conduct of the second raatrsince the trial ; and it is not to,, much to say that the publ:c did, reasonably, suatkipate the release of Captain Lees, • Being the first petition to the Crown, pablicly at cued, appearng for mercy and sympathy, where there is so much room for its exercle, we feel di: appointed at the defy. We think the signatures of the leading firms, of the heals of departments, of - all the most respectable inhabitants of the island, claim rome attention and deference. -the retition was not signal to be forgotton ; the friends have been anxious ly waiting the response, and sympathise; week after week, with his painful and ruinous sti , ponse. The home authorities would, of course, sanction any steps taken at once, and we trust that it is his excellency!. intention to comply with this reasonable a.l very Past request.

On Wednesday m , ,rning, as the express train from Southport to Manchester, due about a quarter before ten, was proceeiiing at a slow speed round the Windsor Bridge curve, Salford, it came into c dlisioh with an urattaclqed (rigne which was upon the line acd bfing moved to its proper pace. This curve is an exceedingly sharp one, forming almost a complete cir&e, and the driver, owing to this, could nut see the engine before he was almtst upon it. Neverthe'ess he is of opinion, that had not the nits been rendered s) extremely slippery by the damp, he would have been able t , pull up before the occurred. Some st)ven or eight persons were more or less injured about the head and face; but none are suffering from broken hones. Directly intelligence of the accident was received at the Victoria Station, Mr. B!ackmore, the superintendent, and several of the railway efThrtialp, proceeded to the spot, and the sufferers were placed under the care of Dr. Hir rison, of Piccadilly. Thy sufferers most seriously Bert are--Dr. Wood (late of Manchester, but now of Southport), and his wife, who %vete at once removed to the Clarence Hotel, where Dr. Harrison dressed their wounds. Dr. Wood had received a severe lacerated wound upon his forehead, immediately over the right eye, besides being severely shaken. Mrs. Wood was suffering from a scalp wound, fortunately not a vory serions one. They were sitting opposite to each other in a first cl iss carriage, and some money was passing between them. On recovering sensibility, D Wood picked up some gold which hid been scattereO upon the floor. Taey were ab'e t 3 leave the Clarence lid - el for Southport by the 515 train the some everting. A clergyman, his wife, and ch 1 ,1 , were also injured, hut slightly. Mr. Blackmore, durinz the day, was engaged in ascertaining who was the cause of the accident—whether the pointsruan or the driver. The concussion did not throw any of the carriages off the rails. ESCAPE FROM DROWNING. A correspondent writes as follows :—" The steamer Clansman left Stornoway on Monday, at half past 12 o'clock p.m., wl'h the intention of landing Lord Saltoun and Lldy Saltaun, besides other four of their party, at Balmacarra. The steamer ar ived there at 8 o'clock in the evening, but was usable to land them, on account of the storm which was blowing in upon the shore, or rather upon the rocks The steamer then got started again and proceeded to Kyleakin, the captain expecting to be able to land them there. The steamer reached thst place about half past 8, by which time it. was quite dark, with a strong gale of wind and rain The steamer's bell was then rung, when the ferryman came off in David Hutcheson and Co 's large boat to the steamer. The passengers and luggage were all got safely on board the cargo boat, and the steamer then backed out to anchor, leaving the boat to pull to the shore, besides the tide running out to sea at about six or seven miles per hour. The boat appeared to kee ' her ground for a short tine, when those on board were obliged to give up the struggle and allow her to go as the wind and tide drove her. In a vary sh rt time she was across the sound, and to those on board the steamer it appeared that they had struck the rocks on the other side, as the lamp on board the boat was seen to go out. By this time another boat had been sent off from the Clansman to assist hem, when it likewise disappeared among tee rocks. Another boat was then sent to see if they could learn what had become of the other two boats, which likewise did not return. The steamer's lifeboat was then lowered and manned, and sent to try and fiad out what became of the others, when she made a round turn along the land for some distance and came back to the stern of the steamer, and reported that it was impossible for them to land on account of the surf that was running at the time. She was then sent away again, to go further along the land. to the place were the other boats had been seen last, but she was only a short time away when the first boat from the steamer returned, and told that when they reached the cargo boat she was sitting upon a rock some distaL ce from the shore. They then attempted to tow her off; but were not able, as part of the men in the cargo boat jumped into the steamer's boat, when a quarrel ensued between the men in the twa boats, the wind and tide ii the meantime driving them both over the rocks into a small sound or gully, between two islands, when they managed to get landed, Lady Saltoun's maid having to get into the water to the middle. Of course, between rain and salt water, the whole party were drenched to the skin, in which condition they had to remain for about three hours on an uninhabited island, without any shelter whatever, when tl-ey were all safely ferried over to Hyleakin in the steamer's lifeboat ; after which the steamer proceeded to Porree The steamier lay about two hours in Portree, and then left at 4 o'clock, proceeding on her usual course, when she again lifted the same party at Kyleakin about Bin the morning I understand that Lord Saltoun gave £lO to be divided among all hands for their exertions on his lachalf,"—Gv.., HOW T) MEET THE EXPENSE or TIM INDIAN ARMY EXCEEEQTJER BILLS FOR ONE POUND. TO THE EDITOR OP THE RORTHERI TIMES. Sir,—lt is evident that the Indian rebellion will entail a h avy expenditure on this country. How ever the ministerial papers may endeavour to hide the fact, yet a fact it is, that the Incom3 Tax is again inevitable. But how will the middle classes, who return the parliament, be induced to submit to so odious a b irthen ? I enclose a plan* which.was adopted in William theirhird's time, which was so successful, that the wonder is that it was ever abandoned. Surely. it is time to review our prejudices in favour of gold money, when we find that in spite of Aus tralia to this country, and California to America, both countries are labouring under panics, and that in this country a rate of 7 per cent has to be submitted to by the merchants and traders for the use of money. We are placed; however, in a more favourable position than the Amerinns to adopt the use of a state paper money, as we have no jealousy towards our government exercising an undoubted preroga tive, but the Ametican state governments would throw difficulties in the way of the federal exche- quer exercising so powerful a means of influence Au issue of fifteen cr twenty millions of one pound Exchequer notes, would enable tie people to carry On trade with ampler s3ope, and thus find the sinews of war for the state.—Yours, &3. J. H. * Another, and at that conjunctrre (1696) more effec tual substitu•e fur a metallic currency, owed its existenc3 to the ingenuity of Charles Montague. Ho had succeeded •:n engrafting on Harley's Land Bank Bill a clause which empowered the government to issue negotiable paper at the rate of th - ce?ence a day in a hundred pounds. In the midst of the general distress and confusion appeared the first exchequer bills, drawn fur various amounts, from a hundred pounds down to five pounds. These instruments were rapidly distributed over the kingdom by the post, and were everywhere welcome. The Jacobites talked yin lei tly a;ainst them in every coffee-house, and wrote much detestable verse against them, but to little purpose. Th success of the plan was sue'a that the ministry resolved at one time to issue twen'y shilling bills, and even fifteen shilling bil s, tor the payment of the troops, but it does not appear that this resolution was carded into effect. It is difficult to imagine how, without exchequer bille, the , vernment of the country could have been carried cn (luring that year. MARK MASONS. TO VIE EDITOR OE THIC NORTHERN TIMES.
