Sir F. Baring and Sir J. Pakington complained of the coure , taken by the Government. %reply to Mr. Kinglake, terd J. Ro nner. said that the Government had supported from the first the Swiss demand for a Conference,gend would con tinue to do so as long as Switzerland desired it. Mr. Lirtome called attention to the report that Lord A. Paget ' 11 " 8 connected with the ship-building establishment of Messrs. Green. It would be a satisfaction to the noble lord to have the ° PPortunity of denying it. Lord A. PAGEr said that the report was entirely untrue. 8e hod, in 1857, been a shareholder in certain vesselsengaged in the Australian trade, belonging to Messrs. Green, but he hail disposed of all his shares before bringing forward his: Motion for reforming the dockyards.

Votes amounting on the whole to zioo,ono were taken, on account of education, the Irish constabulary, and other items Lord A.

The Solicitor-General, Mr. J. Hankey, Mr. John Loelt, Mr. nubbard, Mr. Matins, and Mr. Butt supported the bill on the ground that it was a needles impediment in the way of commer cial transactions ; that it was a dead letter, and a gross anomaly in Our law, as making certain transactions illegal, which under Mother form were perfectly legal ; transactions of pure gambling were still prohibited by the act of 1815. - ...at was oppo se d by M r . E. J ames , Mr. Bovill, and Mr. 11a nleY, Sir H.

On a division, the second reading was carried by 181 to 58., Mr. SPOONER, who had voted for the bill, was loudly cheered 2' hits 'party as he walked up the House. When the motion 7 t t'first put there was a general laugh, and but little disposi iOtt throughout to treat the discussion in a serious manner: In committee on the Excise and Assessed Taxes Act, tu T he CHANCELLOR of the EEC/TERI:ER proposed resolutions ,„". s t t Persons should be allowed to take out game certiticateS at for half the season, and . for bringing deer under the opera tion of the Game Laws.

MISSION TO CENTRAL AFRICA. OREAT MEETING IN THE PHILHARMONIC HALL: Last night, a brilliant Meeting was held in the Philharmonic Hall, in this town, to promote the objects of the Oxford and Cambridge and Dublin mission to Central Africa. It had been announced that the Lord Bishop of Chester would preside, and that the meeting would 'be addressed by Lord Brougham, the Lord Bishop of Oxford, Archdeacon 111`Kenzie (the head of the mission), and others. The admission was by ticket, at Is., 25., and 3s. each seat ; and, at these prices, the hall was filled in every part by a mixed but fashionable assemblage, including the elite of the town and neigh- , bourhood. Among those present we observed Anthony Swainston, Esq. of Southport ; the rtevs. S. J. Jackson, R. Gladow, M.-Coxson, T. 11.1. Lester, J. B. Ovsgan, T. C. Dear, G. , Tronghton, Dr. Burton, J. Bush, J. Haines, J. Cs Reach, W. Newenbam, J. Gardiner, J. Crump, Grey, '.T:TRichard;on, Postance, J. Twist, Ball, R. Greenball, P. Robin, Hecker, A. Tattersal, Payne, Vernon, Parley, Mooyart, F. L. Payne, C. Guest, J. Hiley, Pattison, Levison, Roberts, Pugh, J. S. Howson, Smytham, J. C. Upperton, Stewart, Rector Campbell, the Bishop of Oxford, Archdeacon M'Kenzie, Lord Brougham, W. Brown, Esq. ; Archdeacon Jones, Rev. Mr. Rawson, Seafcrth, Dr. Raffles, Adam Hodgson, Esq.; Dr. Hume, Rev. C. Wray, W. Preston, Esq., ex-mayor; J. A. Tobin. Esq., &c. • The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. Rector Campbell: The Loito Btsettols of the diocese, on taking the chair, said,—My friends, I have come amongst you many times :to join with yOu in support of Christian missions, and I have always come with pleasure, but never with greater pleasure thari now--(applause)—for as you have at all times been liberal supporters of missions in general, I am confident that you look with warm interest, and with ardent hope, to the new field that is now opening to us in Africa, especially in those parts of Africa hitherto unexplored, but which have now been penetrated by that intelligent traveller and Christian philanthropist,—our respected friend, Dr. Livingston. (Applause.) 'When that excellent man was, on the point of departing from this' country to return to Africa, some of the 'merchants of Liverpool joined together to pay marks of public honour and respect—honour justly due to him--and I may say, also, honour reflected back on them ; and highly as I know he valued that kind farewell, I am sure it will be still a greater pleasure to his benevo lent' heart to know that the track he has opened in Africa, will, through God's blessing, ere long be trodden by , the feet of Those—relic) preach the gospel of peace. (Applause.) I come, my friends, to join with you' in showing my sympathy for that great object; but I have come also, and at some little personal inconve nience, to join with you in showing my respect to the distinguished visitors who are present here to advocate this cause. (Applause.) There ace no names more honourably distinguished in every way, but more honourably distinguished in the cause of humanity, and in the cause of Africa, than the two names of Wilberforce and Brougham. (Applause.) The nobleman near me here, on my left hand [Lord Brougham]—(applause)— has_entered many paths to fame, and has won for himself a foremost place in all,—whether it be as an advocate at the bar, or an orator in the Senate, or a judge in the higher courts of law, or as a man of science and letters, — he has touched everything, and whatever he has touched he has adorned. Just now the University of Edinburgh, the scene of his early studies and his early fame, has done itself honour by doing him honour. It has con ferred upon him the highest office of honour that, older its new constitution, it has the power to give. It is an honour nobly bestowed, and he has nobly celebrated it by a display of eloquence there worthy of the meridian of his powers, and worthy, I will not say of the meridian, but still increasing lustre of his fame. (Applause.) But whatever may be the triumphs of his eloquence in any scene—whatever the lustre of his fame—l hope that neither you nor.he will take it amiss if I say this, that his truest, his highest, and greatest praise, is that his voice has been ever raised in the cause of liberty and of humanity—(applause)--that it has been raised to pro mote social progress and popular education, and moral improvement here at home ; and more than all, that in past years his voice was nobly raised to rouse the people of England to break the fetters of the African race ; and that now he is here again to rouse us to give to all the people, all the Vibes of Africa, that higher, holier liberty with which the Gospel of Christ has made 'us free. (Applause.) And most fitly is he accompanied en this occasion by my right rev. brother; and most gladly do I, for myself and for you all, giie kind welcome to the Bishop of Oxford. (Loud and continued applause.) His honoured father was pre-eminent amongst the friends and benefactors of Africa; and gladly should we honour the son, were it only for his father's name ; but my right rev. brother does not stand upon hereditary claims, at least not upon hereditary claims alone : he stands on claims as great of his own, personal to himself, by his having devoted himself, all the energies of his powerful mind, all the eifte, of his inexhaustible eloquence, to the sacred cause of truth and humanity,—following in his father's steps, and equal to his father's fame. (Applause.) And I wish, also, a kind welcome to his companion, th e head of the new enission, who is come here to plead its cause, Archdeacon M'Kenzie (applause); and to him, for us all, I beg to assure him of our wishes and our prayers that God may bless and speed him in the noble.work in which he is engaged. And now I will add no more, because I do not want to occupy any of your tune thiS evening. I would only add one word. As I passed through Chester early to another place, I heard bells ringing cheerfully there, and was reminded it was the birthday of our Queen. I don't know whe ther Liverpool bells did honour to thp day, because it was publicly held on the 18th of the month ; but I do rejoice it does so happen that the day of this great meeting at Liverpool is the birthday of the Queen. M a y God bless her with many years of happiness and peace ! She deserves that wish from all of us. The desire of her whole heart is the happiness of her people and the peace of the world. Let .other rulers and other nations seek to grasp the spoils of warfare and ambition. Let Spain . covet the barren coast of Morocco, and France covet the sunny slopes of Savoy ; the Queen of England and the People of England covet no such spoils. Our wish is to spread the benefits of commerce and the blessings of peace throughout the world, and to extend nototir own empire, but the empire of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (Applause.) The--Rev: Archdeacon M'KENzIE proposed the first resolution, which was, " That the mission to central Africa is, and ought to be, an object of interest to the people of Liverpool, and of every commercial town." He said the' resolution he had read had his own most strong and ardent interest. He believed that the regions of central Africa, particularly that part explored by Dr. Livingston, is not only a field for missionary labour, but also for commercial enterprise. He was glad that this resolution embodied both these points. He had no doubt that their truth was admitted by those now pre sent, as they had had the pleasure (one which he never enjoyed) of seeing Dr. Livingston himself. He had bee in Liverpool, and they had no deubt heard from his own lips the nature of the people and the nature of the coun try to which these missions are to be sent. It was, therefore, but natural that they should take an interest in those districts; the knowledge of this fact gave him great confidence. The central districts of Africa, as explored by Dr. Livingston, are a field of interest to us, not only because there is an opening for missionary labour, but because there is an opportunity of extend ing commerce. And• it was the duty of this country, while it had the opportunity of spreading throughout the length and breadth of that little known country the blessings of civilisation and commerce, to use that opportunity in the best possible manner. The opening was indeed great. The soil of that land was as-rich as that of England ; and, besides that, there was not that overstocking of people which has so much raised the price of land in this country. From the fact that there was a wide extent of excellent soil, teeming with every thing that is' beautiful in vegetation and animal life, he had no doubt that a deep interest would be taken in the country itself. There was, besides, an opportunity of obtaining those things which spread comfort and plenty in the land which possessed them ; for it will be by com munication with our own country that this part of Africa will be improved. And he would tell them that civilisation of those parts, although it was at a very low ebb, bad began. The people were gathered together in tents ; they have chiefs, and these chiefs have regular laws, by which their people are guided. Each of the chiefs has his particular set of advisers, with whom he generally confers upon impor tant occasions. From these things it would be seen that they had at least the rudiments of a form of consti tutional government: In addition to this they had cul tivated the soil, and produced many of those things needed for food. As Dr. Livingston himself had told them, they had begun to manufacture cotton for them selves. He says that as he proceeded up the country every one appeared able to spin and to weave. This showed that the people were already making use of those arts which are the foundation of our own commerce. if we feel the blessings which GP(' has given to us—the blessings of a regular government, and others which follow from a high state of civilisation—it is our duty, said the speaker, to spread them as far as we can. But it was not for this only that they should approve of the resolution he had moved—they should do so first and foremost for the extension of the missionary enterprise. It was for this purpose that they had been called together that night. Anything that is done in the way of missionary labour is but the carrying out of the same principles by which our great towns are christianised. There was in Africa a great field for missionary labour, which must be cultivated in a manner akin to that which we use with our own fields at home. But there was this difference between the people at home and those abroad. Some of the former might, and probably had, heard at least something of the truths of the Gospel, but it was impossible that the latter could have received even one ray Of the light of Christianity. They had perhaps read Da. Livingston's book, and if so they would probably remember readirig of His conversation With one of the African chiefs who; having heard Livingston's discourse of those truths which were preached by the Apostles, asked—" How long have you known these things ? Did your fathers know them ? " To which Livingston replied—" Yes ; we have known them for a long time." " Then," said the chief, " why did yoh note ome to us and tell us those thrilling truths which you are now telling us for the first time?" He had never himself been in the district to which it was now proposed to go forth, but he had been in other parts 'of Africa aiid had seen hundreds and thousands of human beings who had never heard of Christ. He could speak of that which •he had seen with his own eyes, and he must say that as far as he had had an opportunity of travelling amongst these people, he had found them to be without Christianity, and without intellectual knowledge of any kind. Many of the tribes were living under systems of heathenism and entirely opposed to the introduction of Christianity. These systems very often presented great difficulty to the missionary. Some of the people, again, have never been in the habit of believing anything, or, at all events, any thing requiring to be constantly. practised. They were prudent so far as this world was concerned, but they had no belief in anything connected with a ritle of faith. The results of Christian teadhirig Were already being seen in the smithern parts Of Africa, and these results trete greatly encouraging. In Natal there were'several Missionary stations, in which the natives were no longer barbarous, unclothed and ignorant as their fathers were, and as they themselves were before their conversion,— but living with their-families, and bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The children could be trained in the schools of the missionaries, so that a good foundation will have been made before the young mind has been defiled by the wickedness of the lives which their fathers are leading. The children were peculiarly docile and willing to learn. Then there was the hope that these children as. they grew up might not only enter the"church by being outwardly b a ptised, b u t might also receive into their hearts the truths of Chris tianity% Towaids the • conclusion of his addresei the speaker stated that according. to his calculations the expense of the mission for their first outfit, Conveyance, &c., would be between £4,000 and £5,000. They bad estimated that in future years the work could be carried on for much less, probably about £2,000 a year, £l,lOO of which would be for salaries, and £l,lOO in expenses .of maintenance, &c. He hoped that they would be able to raise a capital of £20,000, and obtain annual subscriptions to the amount of £7.,700 a year. He was glad to say that they had already received in contribu tions from this country about half the sum he bad named, viz., £ll,OOO down, and £9OO as annual sub scriptions. (Loud ‘ applause.) That which was near to the sea was near to LiVerpool, and to their hearts ; and he therefore hoped they would give this mission their greatest support. (Applause.) The Rev. Rector -CAmrnsm„ in seconding the reso lution, said,—My Lord Bishop, ladies and gentlemen, I rise to second the resolution which has been proposed by Archdeacon M'Kenzie; and in deference to the dis tinguished individuals who will follow me, - I shall feel it my duty to trespass as briefly as possible upon your time. The obligation of missionary work rests apon the command of the Saviour that the Gospel, should be preached to every creature ; and I am prepared to maintain that our first Christian duty is to preach it to our heathens at home ; still, when that duty is done, we are not to leave the other undone. We are bound to teach all nations. We are celled upon to teach them, and I think, as a, commercial community, we are called upon to apply commerce to a higher and holier purpose than as a mere means of acquiring wealth, and to endeavour through its means to carry the light of Gospel truth over the world. This truth being acknowledged, it will be admitted, I think, that Africa has peculiar claims to Christian sympathy. The people of England owe a debt to Africa, which has not altOgether been cancelled by the great and noble and self-sacrificing act of negro emancipation. And if England owes a debt to Africa, I think, perhaps, it may be admitted that Liverpool is burdened with a vast part of the obligation ; for there was a time, as you may well know, when Liverpool, so to speak, was the great slave state of the British empire, and when a considerable portion of its wealth was gained In that which I may now he'permitted to call an unholy traffic. I say I may now be permitted to call it that unholy traffic, because there was a time when it would not have been quite so safe to call it so in presence of a Liverpool audience. I have been told that when the benevolent Clarkson—the pioneer of that emancipation which was fought for by Wilberforce, the father of that distinguished prelate who will shortly address you, aided as he was by that noble lord who will also address you, and who I am very happy to welcome to Liverpool as a very old acquaintance of the town—old in years, but young in vigour and in benevo lence,—when Clarkson announced his intention to pay a visit to Liverpool, the merchants of the day said that they had such a vested right in the slave trade that they were resolved to throw him into the river if he came. Now, I was told this anecdote by no less a man than Mr. John Bright—(ironical cheers)"—and although I do not suppose that you will expect me to endorse everything he has said—(laughter) : -(I assure you I am not going into the views or projects of Mr. John Bright)— (langhter)—but I suppose you do not expect me to endorse everything he has said—certainly not everything he said in this very hall recently—(lene ter) —still I have no reason to doubt his accuracy in this respect ; and at any rate we all know that Liverpool, at one time, was the head quarters of the slave trade, and therefore Liverpool owes a debt to Africa which I hope you, my friends, will now be diposed to pay. And in order to facilitate the payment I will venture, if I may bo per mitted, to enlist the sympathy of my fair friends whom I see before me—my fair parishioners, if I may so call so large an assembly ; but yost know mine is dot a little flock. It is not often that a bishop has a charge of 280,000 souls. I would appeal to the ladies to assist the women of Africa in return for the kindness which they showed to Park, the English traveller. Any of you that have read his travels may have perceived that whenever he was ill-treated it was by the men, and whenever he was well treated it was by the women. On one occasion when the men bad beaten him and stripped him and left him for dead, a woman, like the good Samaritan, gave him wine and oil to heal his wounds. There is one other pleasing instance of that kindness ; - when he - was waiting in a miserable state of suspense, hardly knowing what his fate was to be; a woman invited him into her dwelling —she was the mistress of a family, and a person of some consequence.. She prepared food for him, and afforded him the means of comfortable repose and sleep. The females of the family pursued their ordinary avocations of spinning and singing; and, as he could not sleep, he could hear that he himself was the subject of one of their songs, the burden of which was— " Let us pity the white man — No mother has he to bring him milk; • No wife to grind his earn." Park adds that he was so much moved, that instead of going to sleep, he passed the great portion of the night in tears. Now these ladies, as you know, were no fair ladies. But they were tender-hearted ; and if in faith they were heathens, they were Christians in charity. I I can hardly fancy that the fair ladies who now hear me will be less to the women of Africa, than they were, to the weary traveller. And as I may now plead for emancipation without the fear of a watery grave, I may entreat you to do all in your power to raise them to the glorious liberty of the children of God. Archdeacon M'Kenzie, as I Cambridge,believe, 6 r f after e d h a h v g is b rattained prospects high h n t o h u e r s r e t a o t devote himself to missionary work in Africa. He has devoted himself to that work, in company with his sister, for four long years, and, I believe, for love, and not for money. Well now, it has been rather industriously reported in the town that he bad committed an act which I should consider to be an act of insubordingion to the Bishop of Natal; that be refused to receive the sacrament at his bishop's hands. I am enabled to assure the assembled company that there is not one single word of truth in the statement. (Great applause.) Something look place between the bishop and some other clergyman, with the circumstances of which I am not acquainted, but at the time of its occurrence Archdeacon M'Kenzie was many miles off, and, therefore, could not have been a party to the act with which his name has been erroneously, not to say falsely, connected. The resolution was carried unanimously. Lord BROUGHAM, who was received with uproarious cheering, the audience standing up for some time, then stepped forward to move the next resolution. He said, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, I heartily thank you for the kindness, the great ki n d ness , w i th which you have received the mention of my name. Ido not think you could have received me more kindly had I not been prevented, by a shocking accident, eight and forty years ago, from being your representative in Parlia ment. (Laughter and applause.) It is very well known here that on the Saturday night of that election, a pro position was made by the friends of, our adversaries— Mr. Canning and General Gascoigne—that you should return one and one, Mr. Canning and myself, leaving out on one side Genelcal Gascoigne, and leaving out on the other side my friend Mr. Greevey, who by that time bad been returned and Was member of Parliament, having been returned for ThetfOrd. So that the proposition was a very reasonable one, and ought past all doubt to have been acceded to by our party. I left my excellent friends to determine whether they would accede to it or not ; and they, unfortunately for me, (for it kept me three sessions'out of Parliament,) determined on Satur day night, at a great increase of labour and an enormous increase of expense, to go on with the election for the next two or three days, whereby I was left out, an,d the other two were returned. (Laughter and applause.) I have always since then considered myself in the nature of, as lawyers say, member for Liverpool, though not actual member for Liverpool and, as I said a little while ago, I do not believe you could have received me.with greater kindness had I filled that capacity, instead of having failed to obtain it. (Applause.) Well, it is barely possible you might leave received me with con siderably less kindness, because we all know that in the best-reguleted. in the best-dispo4d Censtiteents; and with the lest-inclined member, occasional differences, occur, which have been prevented—good arisitigoutof evil —have been prevented from the possibility of arising because of the connection never havine been established. (Laughter and applause.) Now, I really know not whether I ought to have referred to the election of 1812, had it not been for a statement made by our reverend Rector in his speech, which he has just concluded before I rose,—l mean the statement which he said he had on the authority of my good friend, Mr. John Bright. He said he could not endorse all Mr: Bright's statements-- any mere, perhaps, than I do; but that he might safely endorse ; for I know it lee Side the authority of Mr. Bright-I had it from Thomas Clarkeou himself. It was notified to him, and he was warned to take care how he came here, in consequence of the watery grave pointed out. (Laughter and applause.) Now, gentle men, at the election in 1812 a confirmation of that anecdote happened to myself. I had two years before the great happiness of carrying a bill through Parlia ment, which for the first time treated the slave trade not as a commerce to be put down by pecuniary penal ties, but as a crime, as it really was, to be severely punished—the Slave Felony Act. It was passed' in 1811, bat introduced in 1810; and at that election (I remember it as if it were but yesterday), the statement of the reverend rector brought it fresh back to me to-night,--I remember it as if yesterday. a placard was exhibited upon the hustings by way of patting me down-s" Will yod ehonse a marl who has proclaimed slave trading to be a felony ?" (Loud applause.) I answered to that, I recollect, " Then you ought not do choose Mr. Canning any more than me. I say nothing of General Gascoigne ; I know nothing of his opinion ; but Mr. Canning. as well as myself, was for aeclaring it a felony, having always been a strenuous adversary of the African slave trade." But these are different times now! (Applause.) You in vain could try to raise not only a clamour—not only a hostile cheer, but you in vain could attempt to raise the slightest imputation against a candidate for any office in Church or State -by representing him as an enemy of that detestable crime, the African slave trade. (Loud applause.) And as the rev; rector well observed, Liverpool is now entirely free from that stain, and it becomes the people of Liverpool to testify their sense of their freedom from that enormity—from even the vestige of the remains of that enorniity--by heartily stipportirig tie° present niotion. (Loud applause.) The venerable archdeacon, who has been himself in those parts, though to the southward of the scone of, we hope, the labour of the missionaries now proceeding—the venerable archdeacon bas described, in touching terms, the character of this simple people. I believe that in the north, upon the Zambesi—upon the scene of Dr. Livingston explorations—they are still better adapted to receive not only the lights of civilisation, and the blessings of religion, but to receive also instruction and helps to commerce and manufactures by the instruction and the helps given to their agricul ture,—in the raising of cotton above all,—that produce which is of such essential importance, nay, such absolute necessity, to hundreds of our fellow-country men, here, in Manchester and Liverpool, and all this neighbourhood. We are most likely to obtain their help in that cultivation, and in that manufacture—we are most likely to obtain it as the result of the missionary labours to spread civilisation and the blessings of religion among them. ( Ap plause.) . The Archdeacon gave you his account of the character of those natives. and the reverend Itector has given a very touching anecdote of some parts of their character, in setting forth the kindly treatment of travellers—amongst others of Dr. Livingston, and it was the same with Webber in formertiines. His panegyric on the women as comparatively free from all cruelty practised by the men, has been supported by both of those travellers, as you are reminded by the rev. rector to-night. I was much struck by his account of the sable colour having no effect upon the traveller, and of the white colour having no sinister ef f ect upon the negrues ; and it reminded me of an anecdote I heard related in the presence, I think, of my excellent friend the present Lord Lyndhurst. We were dining in coin pany of a French gentleman of the name of Dalzac, who had been engaged diplomatically, first in Holland, originally in the West Indies. and that gentleman was then an ex-minister. He had ceased to be a miitister ; lie was on his way to another station, but on his way to the station he arrived in England, and we were honoured with his-company on that occasion. He said he had been in Cuba, and gave us a number of very curious particulars in respect to the state of the negro inhabitants of that island, now completely emancipated, and living in comfort, in a great state of civilisation, and.. even refinement; and he told us that one day be went to the house of one, a negro gentleman. He was received, entertained hospitably, nay, with very great elegance, not to say sumptuously, in this country house of this negro gentleman : and lie was very much amused with what happened after dinner one day, when, as he was giving his opinion of the great liberality and kindness which seemed to reign in the household of this gentleman, this negro proprietor, landowner—a negro country gentleman : Oh, I ant a man," said the negro, "quite free from all prejudice. If I find a person who is w, 11 bred, well educated, well behaved, I hold out the hand of fellow ship to him if his colour were as white as that table cloth." (Loud laughter and applause.) This only shows that the prejudices of colour are not confined to whites,—for that negro gentleman had the same pre judice, and got over it apparently with difficulty, but seemed to take pride to himself in having overcome that prejudice. I only wish our brethren—our white brethren all over the world, and most especially in the United States, where th a t p re j u di ce ex i sts to a degree to be met with in. no other part of the world,—l only wish they could, like the Cuban country gentleman of sable colour, overcome their prejudices and treat their black and mulatto fellow-countrymen, as he was disposed to treat Mr. Dalzac, the Frenchman; and to hold, if they find a Negro or mulatto well b re and deserving of their ; s ociety, and of intercourse with them upon equal terms, that they should treat him with as great courtesy and respect as if his colour were the colour of the table cloth at which they were seated. (Applause.) Now, it appears to me that we have great efforts to make for the purpose of undoing the effect which still linger of African slave trade, and of West India slavery now happily abolished, and there can he no better means of accomplishing this desirable end than by encouraging this mission, and encouraging all those who, with the mission, will improve the agriculture, and, to a certain degree, plant manufactures among this simple people—who are disposed to work—who, if the Portuguese traders would let them alone, would be inclined peaceably and profit ably to work for themselves, and to abandon that traffic in their own persons which these Portuguese governors, and all the persons employed under them, never cease to carry on by all means in their power, to the extinction of all other industry, to the extinction of all hope of civilisation, to the frustration of all attempts at improve ment, religious, political, or moral, of this people. If we can, by encouraging this people, which from the statement of the Archdeacon it appears a great sum has already been provided for, and only about as much more is required to ensure their succets.—t,hen I really think we might have the pleasure of being able to take pride to ourselves for havin g done the utmost in one p ower t o undo the effects of the former misconduct of this country, —which is to be laid at the door, not of the people of Liverpool, but of the Parliament of this country, which in all ages, from the very first down to the last moment when the traffic was abolished ;—and here is certain vindication to be offered for the Americans themselves, Or the Southern States of America themselves,—Parlia meat has insisted on their having slavery, which they refused to have, and now we have abolished it ourselves, we think fit to wonder that they had not followed - our example. (Loud applause.) I wish before I sit down to express how gratefully I felt it a duty to come here upon the present occasion. It is nove,sixty years since I have been a labourer in this cause, and at any one time during those sixty years, bad the proposal been made to me to come to Liverpool upon an occasion like the present. I should, as a matter of coarse, have executed it. I had suffered, this morning, some disappointment in not being able to attend three other engagements. I would fondly have been present 6t the meeting of Queen's College, f rom th e S ena t e of which I had - aemost kind and affectionate address. I would fain have been present at the library which we o we to the munificence of your fellow-townsman, and my friend and host, William Brown—(applause)—an unexampled munificence in extent, and equal to all other acts of munificence in the wisdom which has directed it. But instead of being able to go there, all I could do was to take off my hat in passing the building, in token of my profound respect for that patriotic individual. (Lend applause.) And the last disappointment I had was this, that I would fain have attended a most im portant movement, that of the Early Closing Associa tion--(applause)—whose labours I consider to be of the utmost possible importance. Whether I regard the religious improvement of the working people, or their moral improvement, or their comfort, that Early Closing Association has my most hearty good wishes. I could do no more than attend this meeting, and I heartily wish the same success to this meeting and to all con nected with it, and to the mission which is about to go out. I move—" Resolved : That this meeting is deeply interested in the object of the Ozford and Cambridge Mission, in the confident hope that it will not only pro mote pure and undefiled religion, but by the advance ment of eivilisatioe, science, and the useful arts, tend to the final extinction of the slave trade." Mr. ASPINALL TOBIN, ill6econding the motion, said that even if he had had the presumption to wish to make a long speech on this occasion, he might well have been deterred from doing so after listening to the eloquent language of the noble lord who had preceded him, and who was s) closely associated with that noble band of Christian philanthropists who had so long struggled in the cause of liberty and religion ; and who had come again among us accompanied by one who bears the honoured name of Wilberforce. Their object was to carry the light of the gospel and to teach the glorious truths of Christianity to those whom England has so deeply wronged ; whereby, t o some extent, we m i g h t a tone for the injuries which this country has irflicted upon Africa. He had been urged by the Rector to be present as one who had been long connected with the coast of Africa, and taken a deep interest in the civilisation of that country. Dr. Living ston himself had pointed out the great want, of a christianised commerce ; and he would call to mind that in 1850 a committee of the House of Lords reported and declared their views to be_ identical with those of Dr. Livingston—that the slave trade would never be permanently suppressed unless mecum were taken for fostering a legitimate n a ti ve commerce . To foster such an effort should, therefore, be one great and chief object of their exertions. He entirely concurred in those remarks made by the Rector of Liverpool. England had inflicted great wrongs on Africa; but to s nee extent she had endeavoured to repair those wrongs. Over a vast extent of the coast—for some '2,000 miles — the slave trade had been abolished, and in his opinion all that was required for its complete extinction was, that the Government should employ an efficient fleet of swift steamers. A great change had been going on in that country. He had received many native letters from that region as well expressed as could be desired, even from fellow-countrymen. The successful establishment of a white mission could not fail to rouse the spirit of the natives. Even in a physical point of view the country had greatly improved, for their rivers were no longer found to be the great sources of pestilent disease they formerly were. The exports from this to that country now included some of the finest silks and satins; and the quantity of finest coral required for the trade to that country now exceeded ordinary belief. The native princes Were no _longer content to sail in wretched canoes rowed by equally wretched paddle men. His friend, Mr. Horsfall, was nest propar ing for the King, of Old Calabar, a fine steam pea, for the navigation of the rivers of that country. He concluded a most able and eloquent speech by a well conceived and well-merited compliment to Lord Brougham for the part he was now taking in teaching the present generation of Englishmen their duty to Africa, and sat doWn amid much applause. The Bishop of OXFORD, irhd vrae greeted with pro longed applause, then moved—" That the Clt ford and Cambridge mission is entitled to g enera l suppor t at this particular time, not as a new society interfering with others already engaged in missionary work, but as temporarily organised with the special view of meeting a want, for the supply of which no other instrumentality at present exists; and this meeting therefore undertakes to use its best endeavours to assist in procuring the necessary funds." His lordship began by thanking the chairman for the Welcome accorded him, and the audience for the kind way iii sfhleh he had been received; Re had come amongst them cOmpiiratifely a stranger, and yet surely upon an errand of Christian love, we were strangers nowhe re , b u t me t brethren in the Lord wherever ye go. The resolution which he had to speak to sounded, as he road it, a little dry—(a laugh) ; but it was necessary, he believed, that it should be dwelt upon. It was - the organisation of the unorganised body which they were asked to support. The resolution stated that this was not a new society, and that it did not come into competition with any existing society. Now that he thought was an important fact. He was not at all fond of multiplying upon every occasion new societies, to which there were two great objections; first, the Waste of fund s w hi c h aug ht to ire Conce ntrated upon the Object; and the next, the rivalry and party spirit which was apt to spring up. Now they were at no expense for organaatiori. The idea of an organised society was soniesihat as folloWs : First, a house, a goodly inkstand, a supply of pens; a quantity of paper. a well-dressed man at a well-covered table; and looking respectable.—(Laughter and applause.) • Well, they had none of these. They met in the room of the Gospel Propagation Society, for which they paid nothing.; used its paper, for which they thanked them ; employed its pens, for which they were grateful • wrote with its ink, and made the best use they could of them. The whole expense was that, for six months, they had engaged a clerk at £1 a week. From the charge of multiplying societies, therefore, he thought the people of Liverpool would say that they were tolerably free. (Applause.) This attempt was an echo, sounding from the battlements of Christianity in England to the voice of that good arid holy man, Dr. Livingston. The right rev. prelate glanced at the spirit evoked in the Univer sities by the visit of lir. Livingston, and said there arose a settled purpose, commtinicated front Cambridge to Oxford, that this call of his should be answered, and that England's church should send forth men to tread upon the pathways he had opened, into the fastnesses of error and of' woe. (Applause.) And thus, with this object, the leading men in those two universities con sulted together. They agreed to collect funds to carry out the work ; and the same good spirit which induced them to begin thus induced them to give •up their universities, and work in Africa. They might not know how great a sacrifice it was to do so—to leave all the honours and comforts of collegiate life, and proceed to a barbarous and almost unknown country. The master of Trinity College said that M'Kenzie was the only man he grudged to the Colonial Church from the University of Cambridge. In point of fact, their mission was not a society, it was the Christian feelings of England appealed to on behalf of a number of men who were Without Christ. If it pleased Gol to allow the plan to prosper, they would fall back upon the Gospel Propaga tion Society, and also the other great society_ of the Church-4he Church Missionary Society. He had expressed his desire to the secretary of that society, that they should use the opportunity by sending their niissionaries to labour with the other brethren in the great Work of evangelising. Africa. Ho wished it to be distinctly understood that, it was more the Church acting through the instrumentality of a society, than the creation of a new religious society. This being the case, the resolution called upon them to pledge them solves to aid in this work. Of its magnitude and extent they had already heard from the speakers who had preceded him. They could, perhaps, form some idea of what a land must he over which Christianity has no influence by taking a similar case at home. If there was one particular spot, one street, from which all religious influences were absent, they would find that there the evil crowd together, and sin dares to show itself in the most open manner. But even in these places there is a perpetual breaking in of the rays of Christianity, whereas in the places where their mission would work, no such thing could possibly have happened. It was, therefore, necessary for a Christian people to bestir themselves. He had great confidence in asking for their support, in asking them to aid a simple and practical endeavour to plant in the Southern part of Africa those blessings they now enjoyed here—in England. The plan was not to make a n English colony, it .was for quite a different purpose—it was that there might be English Christianity and English civilisation, and so make a good negro population, but not an English one. He would would. ask them to make some real sacrifice in order to carry out this work. The money they have already got has been collected mainly from the poorer and agricultural districts of England, which have really far less to give than those great commercial emporiums like Liverpool. He lied recently received letters from Dr. Livingston himself, urging upon him the importance of their present attempt, amid in which he had said that if he (the Bishop) would only give himself to this work, and secure a Christian settlement of our fellow-countrymen in that region, the work of a whole life would thereby have been accomplished. There were many circumstances of the day which ought to be urged upon Christian philanthropists as induceinents to do all in their power to forward this.undertaking at once—with all the means in their power. There was the all impor tant fact of the valuable assistance of Dr. Living ston himself being now constantly and enthusiastically available to them in the promotion of the interests of such a settlement. They could scarcely fail to appreciate the value of such assistance. There was also the counte nance and aid of the present Governor of the Cape, Sir G. Grey—than whom they could not expect to find one in so influential a position more disposed to help them in a manner which only one in his influential position could do. Then, again, if they allowed the corning autumn to pass without accomplishing their object, who in the present disturbed state of the moral and political horizon could tell what might occur to break into the harmony of Christian enterprise. War may break out. Eng land had raised herself immeasurably in the estimation of Europe, and of all the world, by voting for the emancipation of the slave at a cost of twenty millions sterling; and by at once entering upon this new and glorious enterprise she would add to her lustre, fame, and power. Her opportunities and resources were undoubtedly great, and equal to the task, but if she neglected them they might become lost to her forever. Mr, ADAM Hoflososr seconded the resolution. He did not hesitate for a single moment to express his deep interest in the movement. This was not the grst meet ing of the kind which had been held—he referred to these which had been held for the purpose of strength ening the hands of Lord Brougham and Mr. Wilberforce in their efforts for the abolition of slavery. He regarded this meeting as one of those steps by which England was endeavouring to retrace the course she had pursued, and the injury she had inflicted upon Africa. Ile hoped that this was connected with the prophetic obserrations of Mr. Pitt in the House of Commons, when be &flounced in terms of vehement and withering eloquence, the injuries we had inflicted upon the natives of Africa. We - had - given them, he said„ just so much of our own knowledge as would enable them to perfect themselves in the art of self-destruction, and turn Africa into a ravaged wilderness. Three score and ten years have passed away, and much that Mr. Pitt depicted has been fulfilled. They were now invited to enter the interior of this injured country, and assist in propagating the blessings of Christianity. He trusted that we would find not only that this town, but that the empire at large, would imitate the universities of Oxford and Cambridge with a response that would show the heartiness and the vigour and the determination with which we shall enter into an enterprise so full of promise to the best interests of humanity and religion. (Applause.) The resolution was carried by acclamation. Lord BROUGHAM, in a few humorous and complimen tary remarks, moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was seconded by Dr. Raffles, and carried amidst great applause. In reply, the CHAIRMAN said the thanks of the meet ing should be given where they were most due, add that was to his rev. brethren and the noble lord who had favoured them with their presence. He would accept the vote as a compliment intended for them as much as for himself, and thank them accordingly. With respect to Archdeacon MiCenzie, he paid a high compliment to that rev. gentleman's learning, zeal, and ability; and also to the Right Hon. Lord Brougham. The proceedings clomd with the benediction, which was pronounced by the Bishop. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT. YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.) In Re SYLVESTER MAnsoN.—This bankrupt, who was formerly a butcher and publican in Waterloo-road, Liverpool, came up on application for his certificate. Mr. Copeman appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Wynne for an opposing creditor. The bankrupt was examined with reference to his conduct, particularly as to his losing money at cards, also as to the origin of the debt due to the petitioning creditor. Several witnesses were also examined, who deposed that the bankrupt had lost as much as £3O at one sitting. Mr. F. Fair burn, the petitioninc , creditor, was then examined as to the origin of the debt slue to him by the bankrupt, which he stated was for money lent upon bills of exchange, but could not give dates without going to the bank. Mr. Wynne afterwards addressed the court, and con tended that the bankrupt had brought himself within the 201st section of the 13ankruptcy Law Consolidation Act, 1849. which enacts that any bankrupt who shall in one day the sum o f £2O, shall n o t b e toa certificate. He also urged other grounds o f entitledl lose by gaming objection. Mr. Ccpeman, after reviewing the evidence given by the various witnesses, and combating the objections of Mr. Wynne, asked for an immediate certificate. His Honor said, with regard to the 201st section, he considered that, looking at the provisions of the old statutes, it was never intended that the loss of £2O in one day by gambling, at any time, whether the bankrupt was then a trader or not should disentitle him to a certifi cate,. but that such loss by gaming, to come within the provisions of the statute, must be within twelve months next precedini, the bank ruptcy ; therefore, that objec tion must fail. ° And, with regard to the other grounds of opposition, he would refer to the proceedings, and deliver judgment next clay. The reports received at Mark-lane, state that the weather continues most satisfactory for the growing crops throughout the United Kingdom. A Cabinet Council was held on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Gcorae Seward, the secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph ComPany, has addressed a communication to the morning papers in refutation of certain statements made by a deputation which recently waited on Lord Palmerston, desirous of promoting the laying down of a cable to America, via Greenlana. He (Mr. Seward) shows that 'from rectnt scientific experiments, and the experience now accumulated, greater facilities than have been believed in by the most sanguine do actually exist for the safe and permanent establishment of telegraphic communication between Ireland and America, THE DAILY LIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1860. ;1 .0 -i';'4X . :l . `i , ... MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR BOARb The usual weekly meeting of this body was held yestel;(3ab, in the board-room a t R evenue -b u ildi ngs.

Mr. BROCKLMiNK said he wished to explain that the chairman was necessarily absent, with the engineer and other members of the board, having to meet the War offi6 relatite to the defences of the port. tammns. . WORKS. It- appeared from the p'toteedings of this committee that a deputation from the tobaccO' trade will be received on Saturday next ; also, that a deputation from the Birkenhead Railway Company; consisting of Messrs' Holdcrness and Titherington, accompanied by Mr. Chas. Mason, the secretary, had been heard at length on the subject ot' the accommodation wanted for their traffic on the Liverpool side of the river. The following tenders were recommended for acceptance :—Messrs. Jones & Jump, for the erection of a Pilots committee-room and Offices, on the south-edst, quay of Prince's Dock, at a cost of £507 ; Messrs. Francis Morton & Co., for a supply of four tons of white grease ; and Messrs: Lloyd, Jones, & Co., for 1,700 lineal feet of English elr 700 feet of ash butts for cleaving. THE WAREHOUSE COMMITTEE. The procec.dings of this committee having been read, Mr. ARNOLD, in moving their confirmation, said he took that opportunity of correcting a statement which Mr. Forwood had made at the last meetin g —that the transit sheds on the - west side of Prince's Dock were doing, little or nothing. Although the transit sheds were not prodUctive of much revenue to that estate, he be ` ged to remark for the information of the board that onThursday last, at the time Mr. Forwood was speaking, there was only one shed out of the ten unoccupied ;• and when the report came from the superintendent to the committee last Monday, the same was the case—there was only one unoccupied. It should be borne in mind that there were legal difficulties in the way, even if they thought they could appropriate those sheds to general goods. Mr. RANKIN did not know whether more vessels could be introduced into Birkenhead docks of Dot ; otherwise, the Birkenhead warehouses might be made available for the storage of cotton. He suggested' this for consideration. Mr. Foawoon said the question had been before the Docks and OfiriyA Committee, but was not considered ripe for discussion this week. He thought it would then be found that the sheds were not made of that use which they might be ; and that in the superabun dance of imports it would be beneficial to keep them employed: Mr. Anivotri said It would be seen by reference to the Act of Parliament that those sheds c ould only be appropriated to particular uses. The suggestion of Mr. Rankin would be considered by the committee, but there were obstacles in the way. Mr. LAIRD was going to ask whether that question had been considered by the committee. The warehouses at Birkenhead would store from 40,000 to 50,000 bales. On this side they were charging three-farthings per week, and private warehouses much more. They might get cotton sent over in flats, btit, after entering the docks, it would have to be carted to the warehouses. Mr. EvAms thought this was a time when the board should look to the use of the sheds on this side. He knew the origin of the whole thing. The warehouse interest at that time was the sole cause, by the imposi tion of heavy penalties, of preventing those sheds from being made useful. There was the greatest anxiety, acknowledged and avowed, to prevent their 'Ewing made any use of as warehouses whatever. He considered this was a time when the board should give the sheds on this side the greatest possible latitude of utility. The CHAIRMAN was very glad that the question of the Birkenhead side had been ventilated a little. Mr. Evarts said the pressure was on this side, and the relief should be given over here. He maintained that there was nothing in the Act of Parliament to pre vent it, and not to do so was to pander to private interests Mr. RANKIN said cotton was bein g stored in .open yards, and they had not yet reached the maximum quantity by 250,000 bales. After a few words from Mr. Arnold, Mr. LAIRD expressed his wish that the Warehouse Committee should take the question up, and let it be known that they were willing to store cotton there. The proceedings were confirmed, as were also those of the marine, the pilotage, and the master-porterage com mittees, with those of the committee for the manage ment of the docks and quays. It appeared that a special meeting of the Master-porterage Committee had been held. with the view of considering a complaint from Mr. C. Wolstenhohne against Mr. Corrigan, a profes sional master-porter, of having, on removing fifty bales of cotton belonging to him from the dick quay, and depositing them in the Albert Dock warehouses, had them booked in his own name. The committee had passed a resolution in reference to the case that goods so taken should be - deposited in the name or consignee of the owner of the goods, subject only to a lien for the master porter's charges and expenses. The death of the Canada dock-master was reported. A letter from a mercantile firm was read, stating that in a cargo, of which there were twenty-one hills of lading, but which had all been entered at one time, the clock officials Ind, to their great inconvenience, required a separate bill for each. The Chairman observed that they were in a transition state between the old and new act, and it was scarcely, known yet which would be the best plan to facilitate business. The communication was referred to the Finance Committee,—Mr. Boult also suggesting that it would save much trouble if, instead of having two manifests, the Customs manifests could be handed over to the board. MR. MONDEL'S MOTION. The next business in order was the notice of motion given by Mr. Mondel last week, i‘ That no work, the estimated cost of which exceeds 110,000, shall be con tracted for or commenced without the approval of two thirds of the members of the board present when such contract or work is recommended." Mr. LAIRD asked whether Mr. ;Wonders motion, if carried, would be legal,' because the Act of Parliament said that alt votes were to be carried by a majority of the parties present. The CIIAIRMAN read a letter from Mr. John North, the solicitor, on the subject. Mr. - North said it was illegal, and could not he put from the chair. Mr. Motlnnr., however., notwithstanding some im patience manifested by the board, proceeded to propose it. His object, he said, was to prevent the hoard rushing into large expenditure recklessly. He had no wish, •he said, to go back into the proceedings to prove the necessity for such a resolution; but as an illustration, they were now promoting a bill for an expenditure of £40,000 or £50,000, and which contained four provisions. The first was to effect improved communication with Birkenhead by Woodside ferry; the second, tolls were to be exacted for traffic ; the third, to establish a depot for powder- on this side of the river ; and fourthly, there were two clauses altering the government of the pilots. Such a bill, he said, would never have been carried if his motion had been on the books. After several adjournments of the question, it was agreed to proceed - only by a majority of two- vote; ; he was himself absent., or the majority would have been only one. Such a majority did not justify an expenditure of £50,000. Their had opposed the bill, and expressed grave do.i:,ts as to the legality of any such application of enrit. nioney.—Mr. Tobin . here. called to order, and Mr. Mollie] contented himself with simply. moving the resolution, hut there was no seconder, and the subjec dropped.; the Chairman stating that. the bill which Mr. Mondel had objected to was purely permissive, and might either be carried out or not. This was the whole of the public business. WORKHOUSE. COMMITTEE. The weekly meeting of this committee was held yesterday, in the board-room, at the workhouse. Mr, Churchwarden Cropper occupied the chair; and the other members present were—Messrs. Smith, Denton, Scott, Satchel', Broome, Peck, Byford, Williams, Light bound, Critchicy, Goodacre, and Owen. From the governor's returns, it appeared that the number of paupers in the house on the 23rd instant, was 1,876, showing a decrease for the week of 47, but an increase over the corresponding week of laSt year of 79. The medical report showed that the number of sick cases was 596 rainst 614 last week. During th e wee k, 16 4 new cases had been admitted, 166 cured and discharged, and 16 had died. Of the total number 25 were cases of fever, and 24 of itch. The admissions to the vagrant sheds during the week had been 254, being 69 fewer than last week, and 23 fewer than in the corresponding week of last year. The Governor reported that, on Monday last, he had to return to Mr. Tomlinson, the confractor,'3 qrs. 18 lbs. of beef, which was of a very inferior quality, and he was sorry to be obliged to report that the quality of the beef received since bad not been such as to give satisfaction. Dr. Gee and both the medical officers in the workhouse had complained to him that it was unfit for the sick. The rice, supplied daring the week, weighing two tons, not being equal to sample, was rejected, and notice to remove it sent to the contractor. Mr. Goodacre, as visitor, approving. One small kog of mustard was also found by Mr. Goodacre as inferio r t o sample; but it could not be returned from its having been supplied under the last contract. Mr. Evionn said he never saw such beef in his life. Mr. PECK said Mr. Turner, who had seen it yesterday, had said it was only too good. Mr. Byroan—Did you see it yourself? Mr. PEcit said he had, and would not touch it unless he were starving. The CHAIRMAN observed that there would always be other than choice pieces in a largo quantity. Mr. SCOTT said their contract stipulated that they. should be the first quality of meat. Mr. BYroan said when Mr. Turner came in and saw the meat, he simply said, " well; he is losing twopence, a pound upon it ;" but they had nothing to do with with that. Mr. DENTON said there seemed a want of firmness on the part: of the committee in dealing with the piality of the stores supplied. He thought they should fall back upon the old usage—go into the market, buy what was wanted, and charge the contractor with the diffe rence. They should never do justice to the other tradesmen who tendered for their contracts if they did not act in that way. It was becoming a serious evil, • and week after week arose. Mr. &tar said there seemed a difference of opinion at the committee as to the quality of the beef. Mr. DR,NioN said one thing suggested itself to him. He could understand that it was a delicate thing for gentlemen at that board to give an opinion, and h e thought it would be bettor , especially as regarded m ea t , to market inspector, itispeetor, and then they 'ahead have The N said the Corporation would not allow k r a l on i fli n iieme t trp h i,to e i rti m iczo a lm e there. His unprejudicedis duty opinion.WAS to pr onounce t Ct thei on the soundness of the meat, and not 'on its quality or value. Mr. PECS said he could enter any privat.3 shop. Mr. GOODACRE, in reference to the mustard con demned, said instead of being all but the best, as it should have been by the contract, was all but the worst made. The storekeeper and governor were' both called in with. regard to the meat, and, the ether business was then proceeded with. The next subject brought up was the question of fees received by the medical officers of the house for post mortem examinations, and attendance on coroner's inquests. Mr. Left; who had attended the board -11- invitation, recalled a resolution which had been passed at his instance about six years ago, that the. medical officers should hand over all fees which they received to the parish. 14 the conversation which followed it allea?ed that this had never been done, so far. at least, as inquests .ciere concerned ,; and it was agreed that the governor's attention sboirld be called to the reEolution, with instructions to carry it oat. The committee shortly afterwards adjourned. HEALTH COMMITTEE. At the weekly meeting of this body yesterday, Alder ieare Neer presided ; and the other members present 4+6 . i . e? RessYs. Crelfin Vernon, Stitt, Barton,. Nickson, Ridley, Sieel e Ciosthwaite, Haydock, and Hodson. The Borough Englneet, ku l iffte gu'rveyor and In spector of Nuisances reported, terions ptettieulare of the operations in their several departments during' dee week, from which it appeared that 322 nuisances complained of by the inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken to remedy them ; 1,123 houses in the unhealthiest deetrisets, containing 3,559 apartments and 544 cellars, had been pit under examination, with the view of improving theft sanitary condition. The Inspector of N'`uisances reported that on Wed nesday several summonses fet dollar occupation were heard before the magistrates; Med as the bench had recently held that they can only convict when beds are proved to be in these places, Mr. M`Gorert attended, and argued the question. There were three magistrates present—Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Castellaire--- and they were unanimously of opinion that proof of bees was unnecessary, and that it was sufficient to show that the cellars were used for habitation. Fines were inflicted as follows :—Three cases of letting condemned cellars, ,5s and costs ; in the five adjourned cellar cases, the parties not having removed in the time allowed, were fined lOs and costs in each case. Three nuisance informations were also heard—one for allowing stagnant water to remain in a middea, fined lOs and costs; and two for defective spouts, were fined lOs and costs each. The adjourned hearing of the Margaret -street delf•case was also genie into, and the party allowed seven days to make arrattgemetits to abate the nuisance. The Medical Officer of Health reported that in the week endin g Saturday last the mortality of Li verpoo l was lower than in arty week, with one exception, for the precedin ten years. The deaths f or th e corres ponding wee'k of this period, corrected for increase of population, were 233, but the actual deaths were only Ao6 ; showing a falling off of 77 compared with the aeerage. The deaths in the parish were 110 ; in the out-townships 46. Zymotic diseases occasioned 26 deaths, of which Z were from typhus, 6 from measles, 3 from diarrhoea, 1 front cholera, 2 from diphtheria, 2 from syphilis, 1 hooping code!, and 1 carbuncle. A discharged soldier, a passenger by the Tasmania, died from scurvy. The mortality 'from zytnotios has not been lower in any week of the preceding ten years. It was less than half the average. From diseases of the lurid the deaths were 58, including 34 from consumption. The number is 21 less than the corrected average of the same week of former years. The mean temperature of the week was 55 6-10 degrees, the average being 54 degrees. One inch of rain fell during the week. A report was submitted from the various heads of departments under the committee, stating that it would be quite practicable to close the public offices in Corn wallis-street at one o'clock on Saturdays. A conversa tion on the subject ensued, when Mr. Haydock sug gested that somebody at least should be left to receive rates. Mr. Bowring suggested that they shoule not be closed till two o'clock, and this was agreed to. The repairs and repairing of several streets were ordered, and the committee.soon afterwards adjourned. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) ASS %TILTING A MOTHER. Elizabeth Porter, who wis remanded on a charge of haying nearlc cut the eye out of her mother, Ann Hayes, was breught up. A surgeon stated that the wound was serious, but not dangerous. The prisoner was bent to gaol for six months with hard labour. A BAD HUSBAND. Thomas Welwood, a boiler-maker, living in No. 1 Court, Chapel-lane, was charged with having assaulted his wife An ne . The story told by the woman, who seemed to be a respectable person, was a sad one. The prisoner, it appeared, is a very drunken man, and has been away from his wife and family for the last three years, during which period the poor woman supported herself and children by her industry and exertions. The prisoner wrote to her from * London, promising to amend and become sober, and she agreed to let him come back: but after a short time he became much worse than ever, and was in the habit. of beating her dreadfully. On the previous night he knocked her down and kicked her fearfully, and but for the interference of the policeman, who came up and saw him kick her, he mieht have killed her. The prisoner, in a dogged way, denied that he kicked her. He was sent to gaol for three months, and at the end of that time he was ordered to find sureties to keep the peace, or six months' additional imprison.. meat. POCKET PICKING. A well-dressed young woman, of handsome appearance, who gave the name of Elizabeth Danson, but refused to tell where she came from, or anything about herself. was charged with having picked the pocket of a female named Elizabeth Hughes, of Jersey-street, Everton. The complainant said she was in Churcb-street, looking into the window of Compton-house, on Wednesday, when the prisoner passed her several times, and at last she wieceeded in picking her pocket of a purse contain- IBs. She at once seized her, and then the prisoner h an d e d h er back the purse, and begged be let off. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and begged to be sentenced then ; but she was remanded, in order to make enquiry about her, as it is supposed she is a first-rate " hand" :t the "trade." (Before Messrs. LLOYD and RATHBONE.) A BIG BITE. Ellen Gibrcy charged Mary Duffy with having assaulted her, by nearly bit ng her finger off. The parties live in Crosshall street, and from the opening statement of Mr. Cobb, and the evidence given on the part of complainant. it appeared defen dant owed complainant some money. and having gone for it, some altercation followed, when a fitiefl, and then the defendant caught Gibrey's finger in h ott i ith and nearly hit it off. The defendant said the complainant called on her and asked if she were "game," and then began t 9 beat bee, and of course she stlod on her own defence. She was fined Al and costs, or fourteen days' impri-anment. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A POLICE-OFFICER. Police-officer Russell, 158, was summoned by a car-driver named Richard Reynolds, for having assaulted him. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant, and Mr. Muck for the defendant. on the night of the .The complainant said, at a quarter to eight brother about not being on 15th, I was on the stand in Lime-street, wh en the defendant came up and was speaking to my the stand, when he struck me, and I would have fallen, but for the wheel of my brother's cab, against which I fell. In answer to Mr. Block, the complainant said himself and his brother were before the Watch Committee, on the 16th and were suspended on the complaint of Ru-sell. The complainant did not take out the summons for the assault till the 17th. The suspension was for a week, by the Watch Committee, for abusive language. Williana a car driver, said he saw Russell strike Reynolds, and the latter would have fallen het for the 'wheel of a cab. The complaisant did not give air provocation for thn assault. The witness WWI cross-examined by Mr. Muck, but there was no alteration of his original evidence. John Rey nolds, the brother of complainant, was examined, and stated that he is a car owner, and WWI on the stand in Lime-street, when Russell came np and said he was not in the proper place, and thenritussell struck him. In reply to Mr. Bluck, the wit ness said he was a little out of his place, and he believed Rus sell went there, being told to go there tIS a public servant. Russell and witness had a few words about some shillings that Plisse,' owed hint. Witness was suspended fora week, but he did not give abusive language. Mr. Muck then addressed the bench for the defence, and repudiated the c'iarge, swing the cabmen of Liverpool h Id the police in great dislike, because they are obliged to do their duty. lie dwelt on the fact of the watch Committee having suspended the two brothers fur ill conduct. The ir agistrates, after a short consultation, said the eomplainan , brought the case on himself; but an officer should be cautious in raising his hand, which might be construed into an assault, but they esuld not treat the present case as of that character, and therefore dismissed the summons.
