ACTION BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.—FULLER 17. STEAINS AND ANOTHER.—In this action the plaintiff was• John 'Henry Lawton Fuller, a commercial yeller, and the defendants were Messrs.

On his return to Liver pool, he hancleet over to the clerk' £2OO, and requested that he might receive back £2O for further travelling expenses. Some dispute having • arisen in London, however, with respect to the travelling expenses of the plaintiff, who had drawn a cheque for £B9 19s 6d, the engagement was promptly terminated, and the plaintiff now sought to recover the amount 'of three months' salary in lieu of notice, it having been previously arranged that •such notice should be, given on either side. gr: James Steams accused the plaintiff of ex travaganOe, rhiit allowed hitt to go on a plaintiff journey, after giving 'him a reprimand .

Mr. Mellish peered 'for the plaintiff, and Mr. 'Wilde, Q.C., and Mr: Millward for the defendant. The plaintiff, it appeared, was principally engaged in discharging vessels for Spain, and on the 26th of ,Noirember he chartered to Wm. France, for six months, at a lump shill of 4 A - t y per month. Ah' Arrangement was (uttered into 010 the sbold be ithit to Barcelona, to Whidll'pQ4'olo defendnUts wished to send some engines aiid coders. Time defetulante, it was originally agreed, were to pay £lO per day deniur rage fer any time' which the vessel might be detained ou the berth here beyond ten days, but that rate was after wards increased to £29 per day. Doubts were enter.; tallied that the engines could be gut into the h o ld a t the vessel, but as the'deferidants•histSW4 that they could be gdeinto the hold, the plaintiff consented to venture, It was stipulated in the agreement that the plaintiff' should put the vessel on the berth in Liverpool immediately after her arrival from London and the discharge of her cargo, and she was not to be detained on the berth more e than ten days. The vessel arrived in the Mersey on the 10th of December, went in to the Clarence-dock on the 12th, re r , ea b d e y th t e o alrosatdofeatrhego, tenwould, aye she Wi t s to be on the berth.

The ten days expired on the rd of leq9 ol 4y, and as the engines were not on board, the . plairititf sent in the usual demurrage note to the defendants, informing them that the vessel Was under demurrage of £2O a day.

Thp usual monthly meeting of the 'Birkenhead Com missiouers was held in the board-room, Hamilton square, yesterday morning. Mr. Hind presided, and the other members preseot were Messrs. Gough, Walker, M'Gill, Barnett, Bradley, Whittle, Keightly, Peck, Wil loughby, Rae, and Baylis. WATCH COMMITTEE. From the proceedings of this committee it appeared that Mr. Bearley had resigned the office of chairman, that the resignation had been accepted with regret, and that Mr. Walker WI tmeu appointed chairman. The proceedings were confirmed. MARKETS COMMITTEE. Mr. Hardisty, the treasurer, had made several sugges-` tions to the committee for improving the mode of keep ing and checking the market accounts, and the sugges tions were ordered to be carried out. On the motion of Mr. Barnett the proceedings were confirmed. HEALTH COMMITTEE. From the proceedings of this committee it appe are d that the committee had considered the complaint of the congregation worshipping at the Unitarian Chapel, Grange-lane, and had directed that for the future only one car should be allowed on the stand near the chapel, 'and that the others should be removed to the lower end of the street. Some cars had been licensed for twelve months, and it was explained by Mr. Bradley, the chair main of the committee, that after that period it was very questionable whether the cars referred to would be fit for use by the public. The license would be for a period not exceeding one) year, and the proprietors would be arqpnahle to, the law to the same extent that they would be if they had an unlimited license. The proceedings were confirmed. ROAD AND IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE. . _ _ The committee had granted permis'sion for a grand review of volunteers in, the Birkenhead Park, on the 28th inst., on the occasion of the preientetion of a Silver bugle -to the Ist Cheshire (Birkenhead) Volunteers. Mr, G. P, Train having attended the committee.on the question of the introduction of horse railways into the thoroughfares at Birkenhead, the committee resolved that the project be recommended to the consideration of the board. The CHAIRMAN said, since the interview, Mr. Train had sent in a modified proposal, which was as follows :- 5, Temple-place, Liverpool, 29th March, 1860. Sir,—Referring to my application of the 9th instant,7for rinis3inn tq lay dgwri korse railways ,in Birkenhead ? and to t e I.1:1:1^ 4 i;k4 and explana.aoh3 idatie be tore your comnuttee this • &nine I notv beg iiiniegiat 'to- modify my proposal, so as to meet the views of your law.:clerk and surveyor.

But I shall be quite disposed to adopt any more preferable routes that may be indicated by your surveyor. I undertake to keep the track in good order, free of expense to the town.

And I will consent to auy'equitable arrangement. whereby the Cornthissieriers may 'beCome 'possessed of the rails and stock, should they so wish.---ram, sir, your most obedient servant, GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.. To the Chairman of the Road and Improveinent - Committee, Birkenhead. The Gtpr.trisjsit in ipoviu# the confirmation of the Oroceedings, said . the eminuittee .had reconsidered the alteration proposed in the mode of making channels in the streets, referred back to them from the last general board, and such alterations were now made as would meet the objections then made. In paved and macada mised sheets of a certain width, the channels would be of,blocks of Penmaenniawr granite, and in other streets it would be left to tke surveyor tq decide wl k ether 'Cheaper 'moue of Chkeelitig norlinAyei the purpose. The 'object ef the committee was not to make the conditions too stringent, or, on the other hand, to make the roads too expensive. The next matter to which he: would call attention was, that applications had been made fromthe proprietors of two private schools, for plots of laud in the park for cricket grounds. .For a long time past one private tutor had bad a plot in a cor ner or toe park, but the committes could not aocommodate Vilb 'other educational cstablislnnents in the township, WithOutinaking thb'park dangeroits fer women, ladiei, and children to walk in. It had been suggested that a plot should 'be set apart Rr the' use of all the schools, and the committee had considered that proposal, but round that if it has adopo4 it would 91y, leo to squabbling, and would notanewer . the piirpoge of my c%e they' ad . declined interfere at tlie . tatiei.` . He had to mention that the COMmittee had received a own. muuication from Mr. Henry' Denson in rp.fnreaae to the sewerage of 9 ton, qq4 he had replied to that gentle man that the cagy way of settling the question would be to refer it to some competent surveyor to say what would be the value to the Oxtonious of the privilege of draining into the Birkenhead sewers. The next matter to which be should refer was a very inwevtont one—a letter from Mr. G. F. Trein x bringing 'tinder the notice of the hoard 'wt at,' th'it' country of least, wets en entirely Jae* mode of locomotion. It had been in use in the United States for many years, and 'particularly in the large towns and cities there with great success. He found that about the year 1852 these horse railways were introduced to some extent in the principal cities in the Union, and were now in operation, in *lv York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Bpston, Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Are,olclyn. In litve 'Wrk 60 mites were s t ow in operation, !Intl , 44 Miles of new trarriroad ids teing' ; i3oston there were 56 miles miles in operatien ; and is Pnilacielphia 90 miles in work, and 70 miles more being laid clown, This; tholtre, although a novelty in this counts, Iffv 110 hew theory, it haying been .prackiarail. iifOreu in Ame r ica th a t t h e • —y using worked well. He dared say many elcirniaers of the board had read Mr. Train's pamphlet, in which there was a._ great deal ot• useful information The great feature of the proposal was the size of the 'bus vfhich Mr. Train iirOulsa` be able to run, on the, tram roads. the length, and breaath, and height made them a much more commodious arid agreeable vehicle than those into which the public wete at present crushed, The piiiposed 'fiuses would he 16 feet long, 7 feet, in the clear, and 12 feet from the rails to the top o f the roof. The spaoe between the seats in the interior was 4 feet, so that instead of a few inches between the knees of pas sengers 'there would be ample r o om f or a ll , and no crushing of the crinoline, as worn by ladies at present, when getting into or leaving the 'buses now on the road. He (the chairman) was sure, that prominent amongst th e advocates of Mr. Train's proposal would be the ladies. (Laughter). Indeed, there would not be ii mother, or daughter, in Eirkeahead, who wished for comfort and convenience who would not be supporters of this scheme. Now, the proposal of Mr. Train seemed to be a most liberal one, inasmuch as he offered to put down the rails and repair the road at his own cost, but at the same time he did not want any exclusive privilege'. Indeed, it should be mentioned that the commisgoilerz had it not in their poAer to grant iitur 54424 exeliAsive ; privilege, and, therefore, gr.. Train &anply relied upon the support of the public. thers might put buses on the road if they liked, and ITELit! would take his change with them, Mr. PEcx-,T.Oan Mr. Evans put a 'bus on the line and Mr, Train not make any charge ? The CHAIRMAN—He cannot make a charge, and the commissioners cannot authorise Min or any other person to make a charge. If the road is laid down it will be entirely free for all the public, and will be used for the public either for omnibuses or other cars. Mr. Train perfectly understands that, and he is willing to take his chance and trust simply to the support of the public. If Mr. Train can succeed in getting a patent for any particular form of car, of course the patent vii,ll nwtect him P 9 far, but any other ear or, omnibus proprietor is eqtally liberty 'to . ot' . patent for an, other forth' of 'bilk 'the chailinan tlre)i went on to show that the streets of Birkenhead were wide enough to . admit 9f the adop tion of Mr. Train's scheme, because tramways were laid in the'streets it} AlAtficiaa c,ertf4rit not greater Width Old streets Ojt,iiirenlittid,' also quoted frau a'rbifoll'of fhp surveyor of Montreal, who stated that after• having seen the horse railways in operation in the United States, he was opinion that the introduc tion of the system into Montreal would be beneficial in in a variety of ways. The chairman then proceeded to . say that the surveyor to the Birkenhead Commissioners, Mr. Edward Mills, had given his attention to the matter and thought that there was 149 ci,b*tion at all to tl4O 4hemo, Nt - l4ic4 he believed Iyeuld he a Very etoellent aid that itits *rail% of"tt 'at' Birkenhead' would Abe equally 'beneficial as' it tied be en •f oun d i to be in the . United States. Now th e Mat ter : wag one that called for the serious consideration of the hoard, r i nd the committee did 401 briq it . beNe tip boaid'accom- paßied by any fOrnial rdi.OlutiOn;'lPstili rather that the question should 'be ventilated in the hoard, and some resolution came to by them RI that the oommittee might merely have to act upon the board's instructions. Mr, M`Gar.---The matter wants a great deal further consideration, I think, The LAw - atidt had a letter from Mr. Thomas Evans, of Woodside, omnibus proprietor, asking that, the question might be referred to a corninittev favfurther; eonsidgration, and tliqt those w h o. f e lt. aggrieved, b' 'the! proposal of M. tram nukht be heard on the question. M. liitiramt eipi'esSed hithself Strongly in favour of the adoption of 'the scheme; adding 'that they all knew the common '.buses were a great public :nuisance, lAnt withal a necessary evil, and contended that with the facts now ' before the board, they cd,uld feNse a T o evest SQ. 1i4AG,414 4 . s 1,44 whit.]; Mr. Train' bad, pTeferred. Iv'fr. l'Ecx.—,But Mr. Evans cannot put a car upon the rails that Mr. Train will lay down. The CHAIRMAN —We can give no exclusive rights or privileges to any one ; and any car, omnibus, or cart can use that railway as freely as they now use the ordinary road. Mr. Gouou said this was a very large subject, and should not be dealt with prematurely. They did not know.who Mr. Train was, or whether he weqld he able to carry out his scheme. Mr. WHITTLE said he bad been at the trouble of making inquiries respecting Mr. Train, whom' he had found to be a man of the highest respectability. Of course before the board allowed any of the work to be commenced, they would reqiiire adequate security for the due fulfilment of the contract. 'The CHAIRMAN said he believed that as Birkenhead was a small place, Mr. Train had . chosen it to 'demon strata • strate to the public the desirability of Wing dOwn horse railways in our town and cities. Dr. BAYLIS was in &void of the scheme, and urged that by permitting. its adoption the 44fird would secure for Birkenheici the position o WO district; frdni liewo Petry to FTeW Brighton, whose inhali4n'ts*Ntoidd tie incli;ited,' T4O? doubt; if there wore adequate given t OM, to take the horse railway 'buses down to Woodside, and cross there, in preference to waiting for half hour boats at the upper ferries. He would like to have the question referred to the Road and Improvement .Committee to EiTe the Board an early and a speedy report. Mr. RAE thought very favourably of the proposal of Mr. Train, but would like to have a report on the question from the surveyor. He could confirm what. Mr. Whittle had said as to the respectability of Mr. Train, and his (Mr. Rae's) belief was that anything Mr. Train might undertake he would carry out, and was able to do so. The Cir Animal.; said there was only one omnibus proprietor in Birkenhead, Mr. Thomas Evans ; and he would suggest that Mr. Evans should meet Mr. Train, wbo he believed would not be indisposed to reciprocate with him, for one party would have the horses and the other the buses necessary for working the traffic. After some further conversation, the further con sideration of the proposal of Mr. Train was deferred for a fortnight, and in the meantime Mr. Mills to prepare a report. It was also thought desirable that Mr. Train should attend at the adjourned meeting to give any infor mation that might be required. FINANCE...COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read and con firmed, on the motion of Mr. Keightley, who, in answer to Mr. Gough, explained that the sum of £9OO voted for ParliaMentary expenses was inclusive of £250 on gas and water account. FERRY COMMITTEE. The following return of the ferry receipts for the month, &c., was produced :-- For the month of March, 1859, £2,029 18s. ld. ; 1860, £1,929 Is. 10d.; from the 24th April preceding to the 31st March, 1858, £27,522 2s. sd. ; 1860, £28,235 Os. 6d.

Mr. M'GILL moved the confirmation of the proceed ings of this committee, which included a recommenda tion to lot to Mr. Thomas Bradley, for the sum of £BO a year, the house and garden at the Waterworks, at pre sent in the occupation of Mr. J. S. Jackson. Mr. Bradley had offered sonic time ago to take the. house, and when Mr. Jackson intimated that he was going - to give up possession, the surveyor valued the house. Mr. Bradley tendered for it, and as he offered 1.5 a year above the surveyor's valuation, the house was let to him. Mr. Gough thought the house should not have been let to a member of the board without having been first advertised to be let, and moved that the matter be referred back for re-considera tion.L,The amendment was not seconded, and the proceedings were confirmed. The proceedings of the Library Co,mmittee were read and confirmed. ASSESSNENT GP PROPERTY. A letter was read from Mr. Joseph Craven, who stated that were many houses in Claughton occupied by the owners which were assessed considerably below their value. There were two houses in Devonshire road, both of which had formerly been occupied by the owners, but were now let—one at a rent double the amount at which it was assessed, and the other at 50 per cent. above the assessment. As the time for remedy ing such inequalities was approaching, Mr. Craven directed the attention of the bcard to the matter. The letter was referred to, the Finance Committee, and the Loard then adjourned. GENERAL VESTRY MEETING, TOXTETH A ge4eval vestry meeting of the inhabitants of the extra-parochial place of Toxteth-park was held at the Public-offices, Park-place, yesterday forenoon. Mr. IL S.

Mr. A. MILLEn, one of the overseers, moved the adoption of the recommendation in Question, which was simply that the rates should be collected within the twelve months for which the rates were laid. It had hitherto been the practice to allow the collectors com mission on money collected beyond the limits of twelve months. He urged the importance of adopting the recommendation, as he felt assured that the plan now proposed would ensure the more speedy eollect;011 of rates, and thus be a 'direct benefit to the rate-payers. Under the old system, he believed aq per cent, of the rates had been entirely lost. THE CHA/RMAN said that some years ago the over seers then in office NxM weedingly dissatisfied with the amount celle4e4 far poor-rates, and after mature con side:Aim, it was thought better that the collectors should be paid as under the present system—that was, to have a fixed salary of £l5O a-year, and when they had collected eighty per cent. upon the amount of rate laid, he should then receive one per cent. for all mo*ey collected beyond that amount. This system had worked extremely well ; it had been the means of keeping down the poor-rate in the Park. But it had occurred to the present gverwe tha,t tire. time was now come to go a step further, and to put the collectors on a different footing. 'Under the present system they got their per centage, however long they might be in collecting the money. It was now proposed by the overseers that they should only have their percentage from the money collected within the twelve months for which the rate was laid. He thought it was a recommendation which the Vestry ought to adopt. The recommendation was unanimously agreed to ; and resolutions were passed revoking the late appointments of the collectors, and re-appointing them under the new conditions indicated. The following three gentlemen were reconimoyled to, the magistrates as overseers during, the. ensuing , year : Messrs. William Layland„Alexanaer Miller, and Alfred Pickup. As & mai t ter of form, nine other names were ordered to b.e snbranted . l6 the magistrates. Mr. John W,ilson'cleclinerto serve again, saying "that he would not take office again if he had £5OO for it ;, 1 ' anti it was resolved that only three overseexa be recommended, instead 9f few., The amounts of the Burial Board were submitted, from which it appeared that the balance last year was £7Bl 12s. 10d.; revenue during the year, &c., £6,249 16s. Bd. • total, £7,14?. The payments amounted to £5,662 is. 9d., leaving a balance of £1,507 19s. 6d. In answer to a question as to what portion of the surplus could be handed over to the poor-rate, • The CHAIRMAN explained ihn,t a tame part of the surplus would be reouired in, respect Ofthe lean-made by the Nei lfipard: l, There,'Was a, legal difficulty as - to whether they COW 'apply surplus to the credit of Ake. Poor-rate before de whole of the hm:r 9 wl l :9 o PAy was paid off; but as such . cireurastexiik viAll be highly unkist to the present generktion, the overseers would take a legal opinion 'On 'the matter, and do all they (POI 4 19. Find, ()wire surplus in ease of the poor-rate. — Mr. 04itutsox said the fact was, the Burial Board was a paying eoncern, and had a surplus of about £l,OOO a.year. Mr. MILLER moved a vote of thanks to the gentle men who had conducted the business of the cemetery during the past year. He had been in many burial.. gouda in this country, and some fey, upon the 'Oa tinent, but he had not seen one to equal the Toxteth Cemetery for, neatness, take,' regularity, and order. (gear, hear.) 114, in additiOn to this, it was a, paying ooncerd.• There was now a surplus, and he hoped the ' mernbers of the Burial R.ar,d would warve their objections, and would at O lisp,n ee.,. °Xer theeg plus to the overseers.

The OHAIRMAN said they could not have the same monopoly when the Liverpool cemetery was opened, and it remained to be seen ' some eighteen mon th s hence, what effect that wou ld have upon their revenue. But it was satisfactory to know, that in the meantime they should have considerably reduced their debt. The auditors of the burial accounts, Mr. J. I). Hughes and Mr. Henry Leyland, were re-appointed. Mr. HARRISON, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman, wished to elude to a 'matter, which was to come lief are the council 'On the following day. There V ia a proposal 'id build a central office in Dale-street, which would not benefit Toxteth-Ork one farthing. They must be alive to this, and take steps to protect themselves.

The fortnightly . meeting of this board was held yes terday morning; in. the Parish-offices, 'Brownlow-hill. The Rev. RecOr_ Campbell presided; a n d th e o th er members present Were Messrs. Churchwarden Cropper, 13airstow, Cook, Williams, Denton; Byford, E. Byferd,• Williams, Satchel!, and Hughts. The proceedings of the Workhouse and Industrial' Schools Committees, were confirmed without opposition. It was stated that the Poor -law Board had agreed with the Select Vestry in their opinion of 'Mr. Leather, and had called upon that gentleman to resign, , which he. has since done. The correspondence was as follows: Poor-law Board, Whitehall, S.W., 29th March, 1860. Sir,—l am directed by the Poor-law Beard to transmit, for the information of the Select Vestry of the parish of Liverpool, the accompanying copy of a letter which the board have this day addressed to Mr. Leather requiring him to resign the office of medical officer to the workhouse.---I am, sir, your obedient servant, C. GILPI, Secretary. To H. Haggar, Esq., Vestry Clerk of th e Parish of Liverpool; Liverpool. Poor-law Board, Whitehall, S.W., 29th March, 1860. Sir,—l am directed by the Poor-law Board to inform you that they have received from their inspector, Air. Manwaring, a report of the inquiry recently held by him into the com plaints preferred against you as one of the medical officers of the workhouse of the parish of Liverpool, together with the evidence taken upon that weasion. The board having carefully considered the evidence, are of opinion that, with the exception of the fourth charge against you—viz, of neglect to visit the workhouse on the 29th mid 80th May, 1i59, respecting which some doubts may exist—the charges investigated have been substantiated against you. It does not appear to the board necessary to enter fully into the , particulars of all the charges ; but with respect to the first and last charge, they think it right to state that your pro ceedings in making the entries in the time book on the occa sion referred to, were irregular, the entries themselves con flicting and inconsistent, and your explanations on the, subject marked by contradictions and inaccuracies. You are aware that the charges in question form part of a report sent to the board by the Select Vestry, containing state ments of various occasions on which complaints had been made and censures passed upon you for irregularity or negli gence in the performance of :our (fatties • that the Select Vestry are dissatisfi e d w i t h t h e manner in which' you have all but uniformly discharged those duties, that they have entirely lost confidence is you, and that they have repeatedly requested the board to, terminate your appointment. Loojaug to the nature of the charges established against you and the manner in which you endeavoured to explain and defend them, and your position with the select vestry, the board bate arrived at the conclusion that they have now no alternative but to require your resignation. The board regret, therefore., to be under the necessity of re questing that you will tendeeto the select vestry your resigna tion of the office of medical officer of the workhouse.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) C. Gurnr, Secretary. To P. W. Leather, Esq., Medical Officer of the. Liverpool Workhouse, Liverpool. 173, Broxrnlaw-hill, Liverpool, April 3, 1860. Sir,—l am much gratified in being enabled to perform at least one act which have reason to believe will be graciously acknowledged by yourself and the select vestry. It is the one of tendering my resignation as senior medical officer of the workhouse, an appointment which I hare uninterruptedly held for the last 13 years.—l am, eir, yours respectfully.

From this it appeared that the number of boys in the schools on the Ist of April, 1859, was 439 ; girls 418; admitted since 138 boys and 137 girls ; re.adinitted from the workhouse 74 boys, 79 girls ; re-admitted from absconding 7 ; re admitted from service 117 ; sent to service 349 ; sent to thcir place of settlement 8. There had been one girl sent back for theft; 36 for bad conduct; 14 for incom petency. The total number in the schools at present is 696. The report included a recommendation to the Vestry, to allow the land in front of the schools to be permanently enclosed. The report was adopted. The proceedings of the Finance Committee Were read and confirmed. A vote of thanks to the Rev. Rector Camp bell was then moved hy Mr. Ekugiws, and seconded by Mr. Bairstow, The latter gentleman had gm% pieastlrt in seconding a resolution, upon which be , It they would all, agree. They were *ply indebted to the Rector for his kindness u p,restdirl pm them during the past twelve thAtkt4h. The rPlotution having been carried unmki,rnonsly, the P..bv. Rector briefly returned thanks ft - ir Oleir kirinsss. He would assure them that cz4 iong as he could preside over the vestry with satis faction to themselves and usefulness to the parish he was most happy to do so. It had always been a source of satisfaction to him to preside over their meetings, because he felt sure that whatever at words might have passed in the heat of disCussion, no one ever intended to give offence, triad for his own part he could say that he had, never taken offence. Their proceedings were generally conducted in perfect harmony, arid if conwesed with thoae of- many other public bodi es , h e citel not think they ne e d bl us h for their conduct. The debates were carried on with due attention to the interests they concerned, and the responsibility of the board. They had the disposal of £120,000 per anunp, and he believed that their business proceedings, were conducted with a view to the comfort of the poor, and the interests of the parishioners, • Tire was no other public business, 1„IvEn1o,oli .

He appeared pale as death, and . too weak to stand. Mr. Raffles ordered an officer to obtain a glass of brandy, which revived him.

At twelve o'clock the coat was searched again, when a quantity of photo graphic glass was found in the pockets. The same clay, as he was going to dinner, Mr. Forrest called hini Into the office and desired him to show what he had in his possession ; and at length he drew out ,nine packages of glass, which, he alleged, he had bought. He was immediately given into custody. Mr. Forrest then accompanied Inspector If to the prisoner's residence in Alice-street, Paddington, where, in a cupboard, were found' ninety-six packages of purple, opal, and pate n t plate glass, several bearing the mark which had been made previaasly at the works. Two pounds of quicksilver *dm also found ; the whole amounting ill value to , £5 10s. Mr. Cobb, who appeared , for the prisoner endeavoured to show, by a number of invoices, that the glass had all been bought from various merchants, and honestly paid for.

CORRESPONDENCE. EWe do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinion: of our correspondents.] THE ELECTRIC CLOCK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TINES. SIR,—I ask the managers of the Electric Telegraph Company, through you, of what use the clock in Castle street is, or of what use the time-b a ll at the top of the building is ? Common sense would t eac h us that the clock and the ball ought to be in unison with each other. I have watched both the clock and the ball for some time past, and they have seemed to me to go by the rule of contrary. To-day, however, one or other was worse than usual; more than seventeen minutes elapsed, after the minute-hand of the clock had indicated one p.m., before the ball fell. One or other must be wrong; and the public only ask what they are fairly entitled to, viz., to be told which is to be believed—the clock or the time ball.—Yours obediently, OBSERVER. Castle-street, Liverpool, April 3, 1860. CULTIVATION OF TOBACCO IN EUROPE. — The E mperor of Austria has published an ordonnance intended to pro mote the cultivation of tobacco in Hungary, Croatia, Transylvania, the Waivodine, and the Banat. The announcement has been made of an amalgamation of the two influential Stock Exchange firms sf Sheppard and Sons, and Cannon, Pelly, and Alcard. They repre sent in their business transactions some of th e l argest of the metropolitan discount establishments, and several extensive provincial banking establishments. The Prince of Wales, on his visit to North America, in addition to his suite of nine gentlemen of honour, will be attended by one of the Queen's Secretaries of State, in consideration of the part he is likely to b e called on to take in public affairs.
