' The motion was therefore lost. Mr. Ryley moved that the surveyor be requested to report to the Council whether it would not be practicable to illuminate the clockiof the Town Hall. Mr. Woodruff seconded the motion, which was carried lanim o usly. The confirmeu general proceedings of the committee were then 1 WATCH COMMITTEE. Mr. Clint moved the adoption of the report of this committee, and Mr. Robertson seconded it. The report passed the meeting without observation. HEALTH COMMITTEE. • Mr. Dover moved a recommendation that Mr. John Jones be appointed assistant -surveyor in the , borough engineer's department for the north district, in the place of Mr. Richard Blades, deceased, at a salary of £l5O per Snnum. Mr. Shiel seconded the motion, and the attention of the chairman of the health committee having been directed to the state of Mill-street, Torteth-park, the resolution passed without opposition. • ST. GEORGE'S HALL Mr. Turner said, it would be remembered that a recom mendation to increase the salary of Mr. M'Kenzie had been referred to the law courts' committee. That com mittee had taken the matter into consideration. Now, he would say that he thought it very hard 'that Mr. M'Kenzie should be kept in that hall by evening parties to eleven, twelve, and sometimes one o'clock, without remuneration. He would therefore.move that a further charge of £1 be made for the use of St. George's Hall for an evening performance, such, sum to be paid to Mr. M.'Kenzie for his personal attendance in charge of the machinery for warming and ventilation. Mr._ Kitchen wished to know if the salary paid Mr. M'Kenzie was not sufficient ? That hall . was principally for the use of the working classes, and he thought that any additional charge would have the opposite effect from what was intended. He thought it would be altogether wrong to increase the '.barge, as the Saturday evening concerts had been mostly failures, in consequence of the high charge for the hall. If Mr. M'Kenzie undertook the :management of the hall at a salary of £2OO a-year, he ' must have understood that he was to give his attention to the evening performances as well as the day. He (Mr. Kitchen) thought it a very fair salary, and would move as an amendment that it be referred back to the committee. Mr. Woodruff seconded the amendment. Alderman Parker was of the opinion that if the other officers were paid extra for their attendance on such oc casions, Mr. M'Kenzie was entitled to the same con- sideration. Mr. Woodruff said he ought to show his reasons for seconding the amendment, as he thought Mr. M'Kenzie a most intelligent man, and had done his*duty well in the situation whch he tilled, but he would, nevertheless, object to this extra charge of one pound. He would say,,' howdver, that if Mr. M'Benzie was not properly paid he ought to be, but not in the way mentioned. That was his reason for amendment. He wished to ask the chairman - whether ho had been informed right in having heard that Mr. Mgienzie had the power of letting the hall on application ? If so, on a recent occasion, ap plication had been made to him for the use of the hall, by the -Rev. Mr. Newton, to deliver a lecture, and Mr. -M,Kenzie refused to sanction it, appealing to the chair man:and the chairman would not allow it; and, there fore; the concert-room was not made available to the lec turer. The hall had cost a great deal of money to the town, and he wished to know what was the use of it to the town if it were not let ? What was it to. he ? A show-i•oom ! a tax to the committee ! One oppor tunity hid been presented within the last fort -night 'to let the - hall for a lecture by Cardinal Wiseman. Now, he would say, that when an application was made, it should be understood, whether the- Hall could be let or not. He did not believe it mattered much in the case that he referred to, as the parties had been able to obtain a more suitable place. But what was the use of the Hall if not let when required, and that by parties willing to pay. Mr. Turner said, it was quite true . that applica tion had been made for the use of the Hall. He had.lbeen dining out that day, and he was called out from dinner to answer the question of application. He went hack into the room and consulted two other gentle nen'who were there, and they did not feel authorised to give the use of the Hall, because it never had been let for the purpose of holding a political or religious meeting, and he thought' he wag quite right in refusing. Mr. Woodruff: I am not satisfied with the explana tion. (Cries of " spoke, spoke.") I asked a question, and-now I want to finish the speech. The Mayor : You are quite out of order. Mr. Woodruff : I am going now to a new question. I want to know if the chairman of the committee had anything to do with the management of the Burns' Centenary, and if he has given satisfaction to the losers of the hats and cloaks. (Laughter and " shame.") Mr. Shell said he was not satisfied with the 'answer given by the chairman of the committee. What were the regulations in letting this ball ? The chairman made one remark that surprised him a little. When he had been called out from his convenient dinner, he would not grant permission that the lecture should be d e li ver ed in the hall, because it had not been let for religious purposes. Now, it was not intended that the lecture should be religious, and it was not a religious lecture, but merely a lecture on education. He &d not hear the lecture himself, but from what he had heard he believed it to be a fair, general, and impartial lecture, and not a w or d in it calculated to give offence to any class, and he thought they were bound to have a regulation in the letting of the Hall. seconding th Mi. Gladstone could not understand why any party could not claim a right to have th e h a ll, on pay i ng for it. lle thought that the power of letting the room should rest wia, one party. If Mr. M'Kenzie had not the authority, he, or some one else, should have the authority. What possible mischief could ensue from letting the hall for such a purpose ? On one occasion there had been something of that kind, but nothing of any consequence. Now I think that Mr. Woodruff is perfectly justified in ,• - t :s. He would say, for once and all, and let it tool, that the council would draw no line leparty and another, but all would be to them the was au opportunity of listening to the opinions entertained views at variance with his own " that he could have listened with I over anything be and betweer same.

He thought it was not at all wrong, as those parties should pay some little more than persons who Went away early iCiichensaid, after the explanation which had been ing Mr. , WEenzie, he begged leave to with- given r lraw his motion. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. Johnson asked what was being done with regard to the approaches to St. George's Hall, on the Islington side, where the thoroughfare was at present almost alto ; Aber obstructed. Mr. Alderman Parker stated that arrangements were - being - made - - for — the immediater-completku of - these approaches. Mr. Ryley moved that a return be presented to the next meeting of the Council, of the entire cost, up to dig Oresent time, of St. George's - Hall, together with an esti mate of the further outlay, and probable time which would be required for its completion. He stated that he . Was .much rejoiced to hear, that arrangements had been made to finish the approaches, and at the - same time he expressed a ; ,hope that having taken down the tall pill a rs, they were not .going to put little ones up. Very solid foundations seemed to be dug there, as if they were ,going to have another attempt of the same kind. The lions put up there were quite bad enough. Mr. Picton expressed a hope that Mr. Ilyley would withdraw his, motion for the present. They all knew what a handle had been made, in times gone by, by the opponents. of Liverpool, and of Liverpool affairs, in. reference to the cost of 'St. George's Hall. It had been a standing grievance. They were not yet out of danger, andt render here it prudent n were other matters to to be such a motion consider m ed on which might at the present_ moment. Mr. Shell seconded Mr. Ryley's motion, and strongly condemned the advice given by Mr. Picton. He con tended that the Council, as representatives of the public, had a full right to have all, the information as to the amount of money they had expended, and would yet have to expend, and he expressed a hope that no loan in the Council-room would again dare to propose that such information should be withheld. Mr. Aikin demurred to the motion, not because he objected• to, give any information, but because he be lieved it could be easily had from the treasurer, without the necessity for any motion. The council then divided, when there appeared For : Councillors Woodruff, Sheil, Corbally, aydock O. Turner, Tyrer, Ryley, Graves, Ridley, Wagstaff, Tobin, Gladstone, Johnson, Kitchen, Clint, Beckwith, Farnworth, Vernon-19. Against : The Mayor; Aldermen Parker, Cooper, Gardner, Houghton • Councillors Cronin Littledale, Avison, Bowrin b ,o- P. Jeffreys , Job, Earle, J. R. Jeffery, Picton, Aikin, Stewart, Anthony, Cropper---18. The motion was therefore. carried. Mt. Shell asked whether there were any .regulations with regard to the letting of St. George's Hall and the Concert-room for public meetings or lectures.. He also wished to ask to whom the management and carrying out of those regulations was entrusted ; and whether there . was not a deviation from the regulations in regard-to: the application . made by . the Rev. Mr. Nugent ? Mr. Turner said, in answer to the first question, there were resolutions sanctioned by the council for the regula tion of the hall, and the: only positive prohibition was, to the hall being let for a political object. With respect to all other seets, it was left to the discretion of th e committee, and they alone had the power to decide whether the hall was to be let or not. Mr. Shell: Still that does not exactly answer my question- To whom does the committee entrust the carrying: out of the arrangement ? Has the manager the power to let the hall and concert-room under any cir cumstances ? Mr. Turner : For mere common concerts Mr. M'Keuzie has the power to let them upon the usual terms ; but it very seldom indeed happens that he lets the rooms without consulting the committee. • Mr. Beckwith : Has he the power to let them to any ,gentleman wishing to deliver a lecture ? Mr. Turner said he had not the, power. M. Woodruff begged leave to move an amendment upon the proceedings. He thought the explanations given were not satisfactory, becau s e th ere a pp eare d a decided want of uniformity in the letting of the hall. He scarcely thought the committee themselves precisely knew what were the rules and regulations which governed them. He knew of one or two cases where the Hall was let for religious purposes. On one occasion it .was let for a concert,, the special object of which was to provide funds for the erection of an organ in a church, Was not that a religious purpose ? (No, no.) At Christmas it was let for the purpose of exhibiting Christmas trees for the benefit of schools in connexion with certain churches. (Oh, oh.) Was not that a religious object ? (No, no, and laughter.) More recently an application was made for the use of the hall for a lecture upon the question whether the - education of the poor was answering its purpose, a cpiestion which affected all sects and classes alike, and the application was refused. Mr. Turner, I beg your pardon, it was not refused. (Hear, hear.), . Mr: Woodruff.: Well, you did not grant it when it was asked. Mr. Earle : Nor could we. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Woodruff : There is an impression abroad that the use of the room was refused because the gentleman to give the lecture was a Roman Catholic. (Oh, oh.) , Mr. Earle : That is all nonsense. Mr. Turnor; I totally deny such a thing Mr. Woodruff thought the council ouglt to be exceed ingly careful how, with so large and respectable a Roman Catholic .poputation in the town, they allowed such insinuations to go abroad., He did not care by whom an application was made, provided it was for a legitimate object sanctioned by the council. He; therefore, moved an amendment, declaring that the explanation given by the chairman of the committee, in reference to the refusal to grant the use of the room for a lecture by Cardinal Wiseman, was not satisfactory, and that the regulations sanctioned by the Council, for the use of St. George's Hall and the-Concert-room, be now read. _ _ _ After some conversation, Mr. Woodruff withdrew the first part of the amendment, and merely moved that the regulations be read. Mr. Gladstone seconded the motion, which was carried without any objection. Mr. Turner read the regulations, which vested in the committee, a general discretion to let the rooms, except for " political purposes." Mr. Woodruff said, the committee would have had a perfect right to let the hall under the eircum.staneesi but the chairman was permitted to give- verbal orders, and all the applications for the use ,of the hall had not been submitted to the committee_ Mr. Turner said, in the instance referred to, he would not take upon himself the responsibility ; but he offered to call a special meeting of the committee, on the following day. The Mayor said, Mr. Woodruff had heard the explanation given by Mr. Turner, at an earlier stage of the debate, and still he persisted in taking a one-sided view of the subject Mr. Woodrak said, all he had stated was that the chairman of the committee, had, upon other occasions, given the room upon his own authority. Mr. Picton said he claimed the right to make a few remarks on the subject before them,because it had alway s been his wish and desire that the utmost possible scope should be given to every class in attempting to secure for all the use of this noble building for public meetings; but it had been decided that there should not be any religious or political meetings. He would like to know what a p3htical meeting was ? He would like to know what a religious meeting was ? And he should like to hear any person define what is the difference ? But why should they not let the hall for such, purposes, as all took a great interest in such • matters ? He did "t beautiful and spacious hall should But reference had been not be used for such. purposE made to the committ He should like to know what and during that time the hal once, but, if there was any trouble about the matter then a special meeting was called at once, and the committee decided. He considered that the chairman of the committee was exonerated from all blame in the late application, and could not have acted otherwise than he had, and in conclusion said, if any gentleman could suggest a better mode of managing the hall, the committee would gladly receive those sug- gestions veil sai there was any restrictions as to rel which had been read. Mr. Robertson Gladstone said, after what had taken place at the early part of the discussion, when it was said that religious meetings were not to be held in the hall, he had retracted some of the observations he had made, but now he found that the exception only alluded to political subjects—there was not a word about religion—therefore he found that he was replaced in the position in which he was when he first started out. He thought that the use of the room had really been refused because the application was not consented to. If that was not a refusal, he did not know what a refusal was, and' he must say, under the circumstances—the applica tion coming from the Roman Catholics—a large body of whom constitute the population of the town, that they were as much entitled to it as any other persons. gious meetings in the resolution; ... The proceedings of the general, committee were then confirmed. THE MARKETS COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read. Mr. Johnson, in moving their adoption, said, that a sub-committee had been appointed by the general com mittee, to inquire fully into the management of .the markets, and they had come to the determination of re . commending the appointment of a general superin tendent, at a salary of £3OO move that it be confirmed. per annum, and he begged to Mr. Kitchen rose to object to the proposition, and said he felt surprised that the chairman had not given more reason, or explanation, why the appointment was necessary.

Mt.

P. .Jeffreys, Wagstaff, Tobin, Johnson, Kitchen, Clint, Aikin, Robertson, Farnworth, and Vernon. Against: The Mayor ' Alderman Turner ; Councillors SheilcShimmin, Corbally; Littledale, Ryley, AvisOn; Bownng, Graves, Ridley, Mozley, Job, Earle, Gladstone, J. R. Jeffery, Picton, and Beckwith: The numbers being,equal, the Mayor gave his casting vote against the amendment,- which was ' conseque ntly rejected. _ _ . Mr. Alderman Parker also objected to the recommen dation, as not at all necessary. Mr. Bowring said, as he hadthe honour of being chair man to that sub-committee, for the consideration. of the appointment of this officer, he begged leave to, give a feW of theireasons which led them to the conclusion to.appoint a General superintendent. The especial committee ex amined the markets very carefully, and, they fOund there was.no uniformity in the way the _markets were managld, that each superintendent was king of his own little domain, and in .point of fact was a little despot... He was answer able to ne one except to the geueral Market committee, which sat fortnightly, and the superintendent brings up anything which may occur in his district, and there _was no person at the present time to see that the orders 'of the market committee were carried out by the superin-. tendents, and the committee had practical proof ,that, the persons who .had complaints to make to the committee,. were prevented appearing before the committee to make their complaint. He stated the case of an old woman who had been thus preheated by one of the superintendents. He joined with Mr. Vernon in his very frequent arguments in favour of economy, and it was for economical reasons that he would appoint an officer of this kind. The revenue of the markets were not at all developed. It had come under the notice of the committee that, in several depart ments, there could be a vast increase in the revenue. They stumbled upon a fact accidentally, and :found that in one small part, of the market there could be, by a re arrangement, a saving of nearly £5OO in St. John's Market to the corporation. Mr. Jeffery : Is that £5OO annually Mr. Bowring replied in the affirmative, and said that he held a return in his hand, given to the special committee, which showed that one district yielded . a revenue of £l5O, and some time ago it yielded far more than. this ; and, if it was properly arranged, it would realise a revenue of 642. They had at that moment stalls which they could put in places that were only used for lumber rooms. The purposes for which these stalls would be appropriated Would be for butcher, provision, pork, and farmers' stalls, and they would have abundant applications for them—every one of them would be let, and they would get the revenue which he stated. Such matters ought to be brought before the market committee by the superintendent, 'and if they had had. a general superintendent it would have been brought before the committee. He would therefore ask the Cotlncil if he was not looking at this upon economical reasons. Another thing had come under the notice of the committee, and that was, that the stalls were let at wonderfully variable rates, although there 'was not the - The,other recommendations of the council havinpi'been confirmed; including the appointment of a female in St John's Market, The Council adjourned until Wednesday week. ADELPHI LO4.N AND DISCOUNT COMPANY (LIMITED).. The annual meeting of this company was held on Tuesday., the Ist inst., at the Head: office, Renshaw street, Liverpool, when there was a large attendance of shareholders. - Mr. John Davies, chairman of the com ry, pa, in the chair. _ _ _ Me business was .formally commenced by the Chair man,, who called upon the, Secretary to read the report and statement of accounts, of which the following is an abstract ; :— " The directors call the attention of the shareholders to the large increase which has taken place in the business of the company, in connection alike with the head-office and the various branches.. Loans have been advanced and bills discounted, to the amount of £177,483 14s. The total amount outstanding is 04,996 Bs. 9d. A reference to the accompanying statement of accounts will show that the transactions of the year have been of a very favoura ble character, whereby the directors. have been enabled to add £2,110 Os. 7d. to the reserve fund, which, including £9& 53. 2d. received on account of loans previously declared bad, now amounts to £10,470 ss. This result is mainly attribu table to the fact that, with the exception of a very short period, the entire capital hai been kept fully employed. The directors have to report .that the of of the com pany in every department are in a very satisfactory state, and .that experience, has perfectly justified their proceedings in previous years in opening branch offices in Manchester, Birkenhead, and St. Helens. During the past year, the directors have appropriated an additional part of the premises in, Renshaw-street, to business purposes, vith,a spparate entrance to Cropper street, - behind the head office, where an business is transacted .in connection with -loans under 151. The principal office is thus kept more select, and rendered more- convenient for the transaction of the general business of the company. The directors have declared the usual dividend at the rate of ten per cent. per annum, - clear of income tax." _ _ _ least difference in these in any way. Some were let at is 6d, and others at 7d a yard. Now, had there been a general superintendent this "would not have taken place; The committee could not ga after these small matters, and there was no way of carrying them out efficiently, except by a genersil superintendent. He considered such an appointment would increase the reve nue of the markets, their comfort, and usefulness to the town generally, and the interests of those who brought wares to sell would be very much increased. There were arrears, and there was no person to see that these arrears were paid up. He was quite certain it would work effi ciently and satisfactory to all parties concerned. Mr. Earle asked how much was the superintendents of the markets now paid. Mr. Woodruff : The superintendent of St. john's market gets £275. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report; made. several explanatory statements, and congratulated the shareholders on the fact, that during the term of his chairmanship, extending over fifteen years, the affairs of the conipany had .not been in so flourishing a,condition as at present. Mr. W. It. Camidge very ably seconded the motion, and entered at great length into the financial condition and prospects of the company, and the motion having been supported by . Messrs. Henry Greenwood, and James W. Bell, was carried unanimously. The four retiring directors and the chairman were re-elected. Messrs., H. J. Fowler and John Jones were chosen as auditors, and, after the usual votes of thanks were passed and acknowledged the meeting terminated. Mr. Earle said it struck him that what Mr. Bowling had been saying was against the superintendents. (Hear, hear.) When they gave such a considerable salary to the inspectors of these markets, he thought they ought to make them do their duties before they came there to ask for more money to pay another superintendent with. He thought the blame lay with the committee. Mr. Hodson thought nobody could listen to Mr. Bowring without being ,struck with the painful picture presented of the state of the markets. If he thought such complaints could be remedied by appointing another officer, he would support the appointment ; but he considered that the blame lay with the committee in not making the present officers do their duty, and censuring that neglect, which ought to have been rigidly censured on the part of those who conducted the markets. Mr. Alderman Cooper said, Mr. Bowring had stated that, with the present large number of superintendents, they had no person to see to the carrying out of the orders of the committee. It wits only required that the market committee should see that the persons under them performed their duty, or to have persons who would per form it. (Hear,' hear.) He }Aped the committee would endeavour to make the superintendents perform their duty. He denied that the committee would ever 'raise £5OO out of that part of the .market alluded to by Mr. Bowring. He had no hesitation . in telling them that they could not do any such thing. It had been changed and tried before, and nothing came of it. Mr. Sheil said, Mr. Bowring had stated the case to the Council with great clearness,. and certainly with perfect impartiality. He had told them what Mr. Cooper must know, or ought to know —that there was a great difficulty in dealing with old servants. They might as well come to the point at once. (Hear, hear.) They had to deal with old servants, and he would confess at once that he had not nerve enough to dismiss a man from employment without any sort of pro vision, who had been upwards of twenty years in their service. (Hear, hear.) It therefore was for the council to decide whether they would take that course, or agree to the recommendation of the committee. Mr. Shiel contended that whatever might be the' defects of the present arrangements, the arrangement of the markets had, - upon the whole, greatly improved under the conduct of the present committee. Mr. Woodruff contended that nothing like the increase of revenue which Mr. Bowring anticipated would be received from the market. He demanded why if the officers or any of them were not doing their duty no complaint of it had ever been entered upon the books. Mr. Tobin thought it would he highly. desirable, what ever the results of -this question might be, that the committee should report = upon what they con sidered would be the necessary staff for the working of the markets in future; because he feared that if a superintendent should be appointed at £3OO a-year, and a vacancy should occur in one of the other depart ments, it would be filled up at its present rate, under the impression that the. Council had sanctioned that rate as a permanent arrangement. • Mr Beckwithdeclared that lie had, upon several oc-• casions, pointed out the inefficiency and inattention to his duties of Mr. Luya, and it had been proved to the perfect satisfaction of the committee. He accused 11Ir. Luya of not attending to his duties, of asserting, as an excuse, that he had not received orders, which were actually found upon his order file ; and added, that he was unable to ryo into the market and insist upon regula tions being folloWed out, because the tenants of the LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD, CHARGE OF WATCH-STEALING.--Edward. Reed, the second mate of the ship Lord Dufferin, was charged with stealing a valuable watch. Mr. Black defended. The evidence went to show that the prisoner, prosecutor, and other persons went into a public-house on Waterloo road, and whilst drinking there son* dispute arose, and, as the allegation was, the prisoner, during the row, took the watch out of complainant's pocket, and ran into a cellar or coal-hole with it. The watch was-subsequently found there. Mr.. Black contended that there war no evidence such as would convict the prisoner. The watch being found in the place as described, was no proof that the nrisoner had taken it. The very person who stated so, might have been the very person who pnt the watch there, and he might have put it there t avoid being charged himself.

Since that time he (Mr. Gladstone) contended that there was a vast improvement in the mana,gement of the markets, as compared with what it was under the reign of Mr. Cooper. Mr. G I have not seen it Mr. Gladstone called upon the Mayor to protect him from vulgar interruption. .He thought the remarks which M r . Cooper had made upon that subject, came with an exceed ingly bad grace from him, and that before he attempted to pick holes in the conduct of others, he should first of all have undertaken to reform himself. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Glad Ston e. then .entered into the proposal of the committee, upon grounds of general economy and advan tage to the markets, and contended that it .would be of very great advantage as a matter of economy ; that it wotild aid in increasinc , the revenue . derived from the markets, and would tend improve their general arrange ments. Mr. Ridley rejoiced, from what be had heard Mr. Woodruff state, that he had not been so long connected with the markets, and said they reflected the utmost disgrace upon those who had had the management of them so long, and that the evils that existed should be remedied as soon as possible. Mr, Wm. Earle said he had been so convinced of the necessity of the appointment, from the able argument of Mr. Gladstone, that he should vote for it. After a few words from Mr. Mozley, who thought the proposition most monstrous and absurd,. and would entail no did of expense upon the Corporation, if such a system of appointing one officer to look over another was pursued.

The "fair daughter" of Israel, Mrs. Lyons partook of the appearance of the Jewish maids who wandered by the waters of Babylon, and hung their harps on the willow tree, chaunting, "No more shall the children of Judah sing the lays of a happier clime." The parties lodged in the house of a certain lady, called "Miss Smith," in Sir Thomas's buildinms No. 23. The lady complainant, in telling her story, exhibited allthe Eastern impetuosity of the ancient race, and caused a great deal of laughter by using certain expressions, such as " oh dear ! ought you not to be ashamed of yourself ? " and when it was insinuated that she had imbibed too much liquid, she stamped and laughed, and vowed, and cried " Oh, shame on you, to say such a thing." Miss Smith was called, and quire disproved the story told by Mrs. Lyons, , and the charge was dismissed. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YESTERDAY. • BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER PERRY. In Re EDGAR AUGUSTUS GLOVER.—This bankrupt, late the proprietor of the London Restaurant in Clayton square, in Liverpool, came up on his last examination. Air. Evans, who appeared for the assignees, stated that an adjournment would be necessary, the balance sheet not beinc , filed, in consequence of the bankrupt' s .0 books being in the hands of an accountant for the London creditors. His Honour, directed that the books should at once be applied for, and -if not at once delivered to the official assignee he should direct the messenger to seize them. The bankrupt was afterwards examined by Mr. Evans, with reference to the application of a sum of £165 received in his business, between the Ist November and the 30th December, which the bankrupt satisfactorily explained had been expended in carrying on the business. The meeting was then adjourned to the 24th February. In re llENity GREATOREX. The bankrupt, an Hotel keeper at Llanwrist, North Wales, applied to pass his last examination. Mr. Evans,, for the assignees, applied for an adjournment, to investigate the balance sheet, which his Honour granted, till the 16th day of February. GORE'S DIRECTORY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIME Sir,- , --We beg to suggest to the publishers of this work the great advantage the public of this town would derive if they would issue mouthy a sheet with any alterations or additions that might take place. In the present edition our address is put as Roscommon-stre e t. Thi s certainly is a most glaring mistake, and it has occasioned us many inconveniencies. Letters have conic directed in that way, and have lain some time at the post-office ; and, again, strangers coming into town look at once to the Directory fora party's address. In our opinion, a directory, without it is correct, is valueless. It is natural to suppose that, in a town of such magnitude as this is, alterations must daily take place, and we would propose that any one changing his address should com municate the same to the publishers, and pay a certain charge to defray the expense of sending out the amended sheet. If you think this idea worthy of insertion in your next publication, we shall be glad.—We are, sir, your obedient servants, - W. HYDE & Washington-buildings, Brunswick-street, Liverpool, Ist Feb., 1859 MONETARY AFFAIRS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—,We have been long troubled by what they call an " incubus" or " nightmare" on financial matters, especially in 'a " panic" when. the Bank of England rises her discount from 21 to 11 per cent. The Bank 'of England went to Governinent to get permission to relieve the suffering tradesmen, shipowners, bankers, &c., of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Why did not they declare each Bank of England note as good as consols at par?? No need for gold or silver. Consols are the thing.—l am, &c., GREAT KING. Birkenead, Feb. 1, 1859. • MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening. The Cotton market remains in the same active state, and prices.of all descriptions are very well maintained. To-day the sales reached 10,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation and - for export.' There was not much business done in the Liver pool Shan Market to-day, and at the close a slight decline was quoted._ • - The Market for , the Public Funds and Securities Was flatter to-day, and the advance of 1-16 to a., quoted yesterday, has been - entirely lost. Con sols opened At 95i to_ 95L but afterwards became dull, and at noon had declined t 9 951, 95k. The dulness continued, and the market closed at its weakest point, a further decline having been submitted to during the afternoon. Consols for both Money and the Account closed . .at 951 to 95 1 , and at these prices " Sellers" predominated. Exchequer Bills were pretty steady at 34 to 37, and the New Threes closed at 951 to. 96k, with " buyers" at the former figure. _ _ • The London Railway Share Market opened steadily, but subsequently became lower, and prices closed at their- weakest point. Foreign Stocks also left off lower. There was little business doing in the New Austrian Loan, but prices were very firm, closing_ at Ito pm. Banks, Mines, and Miscellaneous" shares, were steady at previous rates. The following were the closing prices : —LAmbergate, 61, 6g ; Caledonian,, 851, 851 ; Eastern Counties, 611, 621 ; East Lancashire, 94, 9 . 5 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 69, 70 ; Great Northern, 1044, 1051 ; Ditto, A. 86, 88 ; Great Westerns, 554, 55: 7 1; Great Western of Canada, 161 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 81, 8, 1; Great Southern and Western, 1044, 105 i ; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, 051 954; London and North Western, 941 1 , 94(4- ; London and South Western, 951; Leeds Northern, 481 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 374 ; Midland Stock, 1021; North British, 621 ; South Vastern and Dovers, 734, 734 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 934 York and North Midland, 7 74, 78. The traffic returns on the London and North Western Railway for the past week were 60,9211., being an increase of 5,1691. when compared with the corresponding week last year. At the meeting of the National Discount Com pany this morning, a satisfactory report was read and adopted. A dividend for the half year was declared at the rate of 5 _per cent. per annum. The General Produce Slarkets Were steady to, day, but little hilliness was transacted. Prices of the leading articles were much about the same. At Mincing-lane, to-day, Sugar was quiet, no public sales' having taken place. Coffee was scarcely so firm; plain Ceylon sold at 66s 6d to '73s 6d. Tea was firm, common Corgou being quoted at 121 d to 13d. For Rice.there_ was some inquiry, but no transactions are reported. Saltpetre is qUiet, but holders are firm. At the London Corn Market to-day, English wheat was fully as dear as on Monday, and foreign firm. Importers of floating cargoes were asking more money. Oats, met with a good consumptive demand. Barley was a fair sale at Monday's decline. Durinn the month of January, the sales of Tobacco in London were extensive, summing up 1,658 hhds., viz. 1,033 hhds. Kentucky Strips and 208 hhds. La . - Leaf; 116 hhds.. Virginia Leaf, and 59 hhds. Strips ; Ohio and Marylantl, 242 hhds. The principal feature the market presented, was. a sale of 800 hhds. of Kentucky Strips, pre sumed to be on speculative account, the exact price has not trfinspired, but it is generally understood-that a liberal concession was made to the huyers;. we are not aware that this transaction has been followed by any purchases deserving attention,, nor have holders of the finest parcels been influenced to press sales below current rates ; it may nevertheless be observed, that the.operation alluded to, must to . a great extent govern the prospective views of importers, and may result in placing the market in a • more reliable position. Messrs. Grant, Hodgson and Co., state that "the trade have purchased of most descriptions to 0, fair extent ; and we have altered our quotations to correspond with actual sales. -For exportation a moderate business has. been transacted, and the sales effected have been mostly of ordinary and very low qualities. Latest advices from the United States represent the: markets as generally quiet, with a limited enquiry. Planters continued very firm, and, for fine.crops, were reluctant sellers, at an ,- advance on last year'sprices." The demand for the chief articles of consumption has been pretty good in Glasgow during the past month, and prices - were well maintained. In Cotton, however, a decline of id. per lb. took place. All kinds of grain have been in request, and prices have decidedly advanced Messrs. Counal and Co., in relation to the Pig Iron trade remark :—" The fluctuations during the month have again been trifling, with a quiet market, and we close dull, about is 6d under the quotations of last month. The stock of Iron in yards is 156,500 tons, against which warrants are in circulation for 155,350 tons." Various orders received in the manufacturing districts from transatlantic markets are left un executed on account of too low limits. As Messrs. Du Fay and Co., of Manchester, say — Our export trade has been a one-sided one of late ; the East has absorbed most of our production, but in order to have a healthy and permanent trade, we require all markets, and particularly those which take highly finished articles. As the selling prices in some trans atlantic markets are below those ruling here, and diminished supplies are consequently sent out, it is hoped that an improvement will ere long ensue. The consumption of heavy cotton fabrics in this country, and consequently the proportion the home trade bears to the export trade, so far as this branch is concerned, has diminished of late, because the condition of the working classes of the population on the whole is im proved. They are able to wear woollens instead of fustians, worsted goods or mixed materials, instead of prints, and frequently silk and linen garments instead of cottons. The proportion a te high.prices paid now for worsted, woollen, flax, and other raw materials, notwith standing increased supplies, fully bears out what we state. Yarns have been in requeit for immediate deliveries for India, and prices have been maintained throughout the month, with few exceptions. Buyers are acting with extreme caution, particularly the Contivental houses. Stocks may accumulate here, but so far the demand has 'been quite equal to the production. The higher numbers of both single and double yarns are not: much in request just now, but prices have bean well maintained. Manu factured Goods : The purchases and contracts entered upon for India have kept our market bare of goods, par ticularly 5/4 shirtings, which advanced early in the month, have receded since, and are now less inquired after, in consequence of late advices from Calcutta. In yesterday's Monetary article a most singular mistake crept in. We quoted the circular of Messrs. Radford and Sons as being published in Manchester ; whereas, as our mercantile readers will be fully aware, the firm is a Liverpool one. The letters from Constantinople are strangely silent respecting the loan of 90,000;000 piastres, alleged to have been rai se d th ere by th e T ur ki s h government. They state, however, that a loan of. 30,000,000 piastres, or about £220,000, has been raised locally, with the assistance of the Ottoman Bank. This loan is for a short period, being repayable within the present year. The rate of interest is 8 per cent., besides 2 per cent;commission ; and the proceeds are to meet a portion of the debts of the Sultan's Civil List. It is further mentioned that the government acting upon the sound' advice given to them, have de termined to call upon the merchants who, by a very lax system, have been allowed to obtain credit for arrears of duties, to give at once three months' bills. The amount involved is said to be considerable. Increased heaviness at opening, but English Funds closed with a better appearance, prices still deriving the chief support from steady investment on the part of the public. In the Discount Market little increase of activity In the Stock Exchange money is so abundant that loans for the March acconnt, can be effected almost on the same terms as for immediate delivery. In the Foreign Exchange this afternoon, there was no alteration of importance. About £76,000, in Australian and American gold, was dent into the Bank to-day. The bulk of the' remaining Australian supplies will go abroad. On the Paris Bourse to-day a further decline of I per cent. took place. Accounts of many speculators unable to fulfil their purchases, have summarily closed with lose.—T'° City Article; Tuesday _Evening.
