ANNE'S WARD.—Last night, a meeting of the Radical electors of this ward was held in the Oddfellow's Hall, St. Anne-street, with a view to promoting the return of Mr. Clarke Aspinall. Mr. Simon Frazer took the chair, and amongst the gentlemen present we observed Councillors Stitt and Kitchen, Mr. J. B. Aspinall, barrister, Mr. Geo. Melly, Mr. Enoch Harvey, Dr. Cooper, Mr. Philip Rathbone, and Mr. Chesney, &c. The Chairman, who said at the commencement that he was going to say .. but a very few words, deli vered a lengthy and very violent party address, and then introduced Mr. Aspinall to the meeting.—Mr. Aspinall, at great length also, then addressed the electors, giving a most egotistical account of himself and his family. His grandfather, he stated, was 56 years ago chief magistrate of Liverpool, and he himself was born on the 2nd of December, 1827. He was the father of five children ; the son of a rector ; he had been turned into the world with nothing but the most valuable thing, an education ; and if he had so gained the good opinion of his friends as to be the subject of a deputation inviting him to represent them in the Town Council, all he could say was, that if he was not worthy of the trust, he was not worthy to be the father of five children. (Laughter and applause.) A brother, younger than himself, had been elected Speaker of the Victoria Legislature. Mr. Aspinall then addressed himself to the public topics set forth in his address. He was in favour, he stated, of rating the docks for parochial purposes ; and once had a conversation upon the subject with one of our most esteemed and useful citizens —Mr. Christopher Bushell. If any man could have con vinced him, upon the principles of unrestricted trade, that the docks ought not to be rated, that .man was Mr. Bushell ; because, in addition to his argu mentative powers, he had such venerable suavity of manners, and such an absence of dictation, even when a young win, as always won his heart. He told Mr. Bushell there was a deal in what he said, and left him with the conviction that there was also a deal in what he himself thought. (Laughter and applause.) He was for rating the docks of Liverpool and all public property, and could not for the life of him understand why they should not be rated. Mr. Aspinall then, in succession, spoke on the subject of public parks, free l s i t b a r g ari e, esan, d sa t v h m e g p s ri b li a c n ip k i s e , t o h f e e a lee pp ti r n o g aches to the Landing- Middlehurst proposed a resolution, to ald t e h rni e effect en— th f a r t . the meeting had heard with satisfaction Mr. Aspinall's views, considered him qualified for the office of Town Coun cillor, and pledged itself to use their efforts for his re turn.---Mr. R.

PUBLIC MEETING ON CHURCH RATES. Last night apublie meet ince on the question of Church Rates was held in St, Paul's Church school-room, Tox, teth-park, for the purpose of taking into t.onsideration the Bill now before Parliament for the abolition of chUrch rates. The Rev. Dr. M‘NErin, incumbent of St. Paul's, pre sided ; and amongst those present were the Revs. Dr. Hume, J. Bardsley, and other gentlemen. The proceedings were opened by an impressive prayer, appropriate to the object of the meeting, which was offered up by the rev. chairman. The CiikinuliN then came forward, and stated that the buildings which composed the fabric of the Church were, like all other buildings, liable to the influence of time, and subject to decay. There was no reason why any of the churches should be exempt from . decay, in any greater degree than their own houses. They knew very well, in their own in', ividual cases, that their houses required constant repairs, and if these repairs were taken in time, a comparatively small sum would be necessary, whereas if it were delayed a large sum would be obligatory. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to that their forefathers, in connection with the established religion of :,this country, were far seeing and excellent men, when they sanctioned the principle that, in anticipation of the fabric of the churches in the country 'being in danger, a certain charge on the property of tl7e country should be levied for the purpose of keeping those edifices in repair. Up to the present time, thousands and tens of thousands of our churches had been kept in repair by this small charge on the property of the country ; and until a com paratively recent period, the justice of it had never been disputed. They all knew that there was a large body of people in this country connected with those who were knoWn as Dissenters, and not members of the Established Church. Included in this body there were those whom, he believed, upon conscientious grounds, would not oppose themselves to the principle of church rates; but there were also others amongst them who were resolutely determined to set themselves in opposition to it. Athon z e;st these was a society in London, called the Church Liberation Society,—a society, he presumed, formed to keep the Church in tontrol; and one of the aims of this society was to put an end to ' this charge upon property, one of the principal objects of which was to keep the fabric of the Church in repair. Their argument was, "we have no right whatever to do it. We are not called upon to do it." Well, supposing that he was addressing Dissenters in that room who wished to purchase pro perty which, irrespective of the charge of church rates, was worth £5OO. But there was a small charge upon that property, the interest of which, at four per cent., amounted to £5O in principal. Well, in consideration of this, the value of this proerty, it was agreed, was reduced to £450, and un der these circumstances he purchases the property for £450, and in so doing he makes himself hat le to the annual charge of the amount, which, in church rates, reduces it to a value in principal of £450, This party gets possession of this property upon these terms, and for a number of years he pays, accordingly, the church rates , subject to which he pur chased the property. Was it not, under these circum stances, obviously unjust for that party to seek to rid himself of the liability because in after years a number of agitators sought to abolish that charge under which he knew he had obtained the property at a lower rate than lie otherwise would have been enabled to do ? The rev. doctor next adverted to the conscientious part of the question on the part of those who objected to the church-rates, and endeavoured to show, from a number of instances which he adduced, that the objections of Dissenters to pay church-rates were unfounded, both in a religious and secular point of view. After some further remarks, the rev. chairman called upon Mr. Hume. The Rev, Dr. HuME next addressed the meeting, and in the course of an eloquent speech, showed, by the sta tistical tables which he adduced, that it would be detri mental to the interests of the Church of England, and of the education of the working classes, if church-rates were unconditionally abolished., The ReV. JAMES BARDSLEY, incumbent of St. Silas's, next came forward and addressed the meeting. He con tended that, inasmuch as the Dissenters consisted of not more than one-tenth of those who paid church rates, it Was obviously unfair on'the part of the dissenting body to agitate the entire abolition of church rates, when nine-tenths of those who paid them were members of the Church, and who, on principle, were, willing.to continue to pay them. The Rev. Dr. Huaiu submitted a memorial to the effect that, inasmuch as a bill for the abolition of church rates was before the House during the last cession tf Par ' liament, it was undesirable that such bill should become law without provision being made for some compensa tion to the Church for the abrogation of church rates. The motion having been seconded, was carried unani mously; anti, after sonic other addresses from the chair man and other gentlemen, the proceedings terminated. BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Birkenhead branch of the above society was held last night in the Argyle-rooms. The Rev. A. Knox occupied the chair, and there were also present on the platform the Rev. S. 11. Booth, Mann, Lundy, Simpson, Linton, &c. There was a very numerous attendance of the friends of the society, the large room in which they were assembled being com pletely full. After prayer had been offered up on behalf of the society, The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by remarking that it was with great pleasure he met them once more on this deeply interesting occasion—the annual meeting of their branch association. They had met together for the noblest purpose in existence, that of promoting the circulation of God's Word through the uttermost parts of the earth. Ile would repeat, their object was anoble one for other reasons,—there was a machinery connected with the society which showed in an unmistakeable manner the great success which, by God's help, had attended the efforts of the society. He would not enter upon the particulars of the society's operations, as there were several gentlemen present who would speak on that subject; and it was the duty of a chairman, above all things, not to make a speech. He had no doubt it would be interesting to them to know what the society had been doing during the last twelve months in and around their litee world of Birkenhead. Their population was a very large and a rapidly-rising one; but Birkenhead, like many other rising places, found itself the habitation of a people coming from ungodly places, and therefore without the fear of God in their hearts; among these people it was necessary the Bible should be circulated, and this was one of the principal objects of the society. But its sphere was not confined to Birkenhead ; it was eminently a missionary society, as it extended its opera tions to foreign cou nes n tsgihta t ti r etn i wt e :h 1 nsa the humbler s they being blessed so far with the greatest success. lie concluded by calling upon Mr. Simpson for the annual report. Mr. SIMPSON then proceeded with his report, which showed that the free contributions during the past year amounted to £147 Os. ld. ; payment for bills, &c., £49 ls. ld, which was an increase of £l6 16s. Id. over leaving the result in the hmaienhialtisuomarnimnooobsdffalteGteaiirnhbootrnedcroe. the preceding year. The remainder of the report was also very satisfactory, and it was received with evident marks of approbation by the audience. At its close, The Rev. Mr. LINTON rose to move the first resolu tion, namely, that the report just read be adopted by this meeting. In a lengthy speech he advocated the claims of the society, at the same time calling attention to the wonderful success with which God had blessed their efforts. But, he added, even supposing the Bible Society was ignorant of these successes, it would not detract from the necessity of their continued labour, inasmuch as it was their duty to work as instruments, I a: introducing relative teniouvgfec Speakingtuthhm t o ee s Bta I ri t nbi h scol h e eef The resolution having been seconded, was unanimously adopted.

COUNTY COURT.---YESTERDAY. (Before W. A. Itui.ToN, Esq., Judge.) IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERS—DURAND V. BRICE.— Mr. Wine appeared for the plaintiff in this case, and stated that his client, who was captain of the ship St. Ives, sought to recover the sum of £46 16s. from the • defendants, Messrs. Brice and Co., shipowners, Water street, for work done on account stated, for the hire,_ demurrage, or detention of a ship of the plaintiff's, let to hire or detained by vie defendant, and for. that the plaintiff would forego the demurrage due to him, under a charter -party elite: e I into by the plaintiff with Messrs. Hickie, Borman, and Co., of London, dated - the 4th August, 1859. The defendants agreed to give plaintiff sufficient coal to ballast him in Birkenhead Dock, and to send him a further ouantity of 300 tons alongside in the river ; and the defendants also under took that the ballast should be ready in Birkenhead Dock notlater than the 24th September last. Although plaintiff did all things on his part necessary, and although defendants gave plaintiff sufficient coal in Birkenhead Dock to ballast him, arid the plaintiff proceeded to the river; and it . Was also afterwards agreed that the plaintiff should proceed to the Stanley Dock to get the remainder of the coal, the defendants had only sent 175 tons of coal along sijebywhicltthoec p to l b o, i e n r, n ti a ffl d i had been sustained a from thethe sth to t iie 12th amount claimed. The captain entered into a charter party with Messrs. Hickie and Borman, and was to be• loaded in fifteen days. The ship went into the Birken head Dock on the 28th of the month, and he gave notice that the ship was lying in a berth on the 10th September, and when the lay days were expired, notice was given. He (Mr. Hime) wrote Messrs. Hickie and Borman, claiming ,t 5 17s. for one . day's demurrage, 'and he received in . reply a reference to Messrs. Brice and Co., who had undertaken the loading of the vessel. That letter was handed to the captain of the ship, who afterwards en tered into an agreement with Messrs. Brice, that he would forego any claim for demurrage, in consideration of which the defendant was to*give the plaintiff as much, coal in the dock as would ballast his vessel, the remain der was to beput on board in the river. The object of this was to save dock dues. This was signed by the captain, at the ship-broker's office, on the 21st September, and on the. 22nd and 23rd the defendant sent 165 tons to the ship while she was in the dock, and on the 26th the ship went into the river. , The weather was very tempestous, and she broke her anchor, and it was after this accident occurred that a mutual agreement was come to that the residue of the coal should be shipped in the Stanley Dock. 'On the 4th October 115 tons of coal were sent alongside, whiCh still left the cargo incomplete, but, since the action had been brought the coal was shipped. It was clear that the defendants were liable, because they had induced the captain, by representations, to forego the demurrage against Trickle and Borman. Witnesses were called to prove this statement. Mr. Deighton, for the defence, said: First of all, the de fendants were only acting as agents for Hickie and Bor . man, who were the parties liable. There was a certain quality of coal wanted, and a strike took place among the pitmen, which prevented the coal being shipped ; and as nothing had been said in the charter party about any particular coal, the consequence was, that the de fendants asked the complainant to sign the agreement, by which he undertook to forego any claims for demurrage. In the memorandum, the only date mentioned was the 24th, the day that the vessel was to leave the dock and go. into the river. That agreement had been fulfilled, for the coal had been alongside the ship, and she had proceeded to the river on the day specified; and as regarded the ship ping of the remainder in the river, there was no time mentioned. Several witnesses were examined, who said that the ordinary time allowed for loading such a vessel as the St. Ives was fifteen to twenty days ; his Honour having previously said that the only question was whe ther there had been sufficient time allowed. The case occupied four hours in hearing, and, at the end, his Honour said he would deliver judgment on Wednesday next. ' 5 CORRESPONDENCE.
