TMpRRI AL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LOADS.—VzaTERDAT. The Petition of Rights Bill passed through committee. The 'Weights and Meastres Bill, and the Adulteration of Food and Drink Bill, were read a second time. - Lord DUNGASNN , ; called attention to the disturbances weekly g place it the church of St. George's-in-the-past; and 'ed a resolution to the effect that sufficient Vesolution had 'th e been sho wn f or p u tting an end to them, and for bringing t: Perpetrators to punishment. After blaming the conduct of rector, he declared his belief that the police, if they had Thought proper, might hare put a stop to the riots. If the `jdinary power was not sufficient power, he called on the °' - ernment to introduce a sufficient measure. The Earl of Wrem.ow asserted that both the police and the L ° liee authorities had neglected their duty. He wished to ` 4 °Nv if the allegations brought against Mr. Allen were true. Earl 47. -MAzgyiLLE protested against these attacks on an absent ler so , T he Bishop of LoNnoi: explained the circumstances under ' 4l e'll he had appointed M r . Allen to the lec tureshi p of St. Age's-in-thc-East, and declared his disbelief in the charges , : ought against him.

A After lame further discussion, th e resolution was with ,tv, Some feather business was transacted, and their lordships 44 :Jour:RA at five minutes past eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. ---YESTERDAY, The Speaker took the chair at five o'clock. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the House, at its rising, adjourn till Thursday, and gave notice that, on that day, he abould move for the appointment of a Select Committee to '" a mine the journals of the House of Lor ds, and on Frida y , 4 ,4 0 r the appointment of another committee to search for prece- Th en tt as to the proceedings of that House in rejecting the Bill Repealing the Excise Duty on Paper. It was, he said, .Portant that the facts should be ascertained, but hedis • claimed all intention of taking any step which should bring e two Houses into collision. Lord NAAS called attention of the House to the state of the ° . riviet establishment at Bermuda, ae detailed in the report the before Parliament, and to ask the Secretary of State for ' II C Home Department whether it is the intention of Govern bleht to send anymore convicts to that island. The establish- Inent of Bermuda was a national, disgrace. There was no l'roper provision for the prisoners, no accommodation for the 'officers, and no order in the arrangements; all the vices of the old system seemed to be concentrated in this single esta blishment. It could easily be reformed after the improved plan which was now in operation in Ireland, and which had there worked admirably. Mr. WitALLev, adverting to the rejection by the Lords of the Paper Duty Bill, asked if the motion for the appointment of a committee was the only step which could be taken in reference to this unprecedented and important proceeding? Sir G. C. Lewes, amid much laughter, replied curtly that he had nothing to add to the statement of Lord Palmerston. Passing on to Burmuda, he admitted that the confinement of to many prisoners there in the hulks, the - consequence of the want of prison accommodation elsewhere, was no doubt objectionable. The question, however, was one of expense, and the proper time for discussing it would be when the prison v ote came before them. The house would then decide if f urther buildings should be erected or not. Sir J. I'min:owe complained that this answer was scarcely s etisfactory some steps ought to be taken. Mr. Diosv SEYMOUR reverted to the paper duty question ; and asked if the Government was in earnest. If so, why did they not move for the committee that night ? Lord PALMERSTON, as curtly as Sir C. Lewis, said that he law no reason for departing from his proposed course. On, the motion of Lord Palmerston, the existing arrange raents on the order of baSiReSS were continued after Whit suntide. Sir J. TRELAWSET obtained leave to introduce a bill to esta blish county financial boards for the assessing of county rates, and for the administration of county expenditure in England and W a l es . Mr. BAXTER moved a resolution that this House is of opinion that the grant now annually made to non-conforming ministers in Ireland, commonly called the Begium Donurn, should cease and be extinguished as speedily as is consistent with the just e lPectations of the recipients thereof ; and with this view, that no further grant be made on account of new congregations nor tl any existing congregations after the present ministers thereof shall have ceased, by death or otherwise, to be the ministers of such congregations. Mr. CROSSLEY seconded the motion, disclaiming, all intention of interfering with vested interests, but calling upon all sects to support their own pastors as they would their ow/e house holds. Mr. CoNotLv moved, as an amendment, to omit the latter raft of the resolution, and to add words to the effect that the tharge should be removed from the estimates, and placed upon The Consolidated Fund. After due consideration from the house, he protested against members who quitted their proper 'There to interfere in the affairs of Ireland. Mr. R. P. DAwsoN, seconded the amendment. lie contended that the State had been a great gainer by the grant, in the I Yrality, order, and the loyalty of the Irish Pr:sbytcrians, which saved the expense of gaols and police. CARDWELL opposed both the motion and the amend- Cent. None who were not prepared to carry out the volun tarp principle to the full extent could object to this grant, Vhich had lasted through so many centuries. Ho trusted that the general question of ecclesiastical endowments would not be opened by further pressing an attack on that exemplary bo dy, the Presbyterian ministers of Ireland, but that the Question would be settled summarily as had been that of May 1130th. The amendment having been negatived without a division, the Rouse divided on the original motion, which was rejected by 117 to IS. _„. Mr. COBBLTT called the attention of the House to the report the select committee on the office of coroner; and moved -r leave to bring in a bill hi conformity with the recommen dations in the report of the said committee. The main object df the bill was to cause coroners to be paid by salaries instead 451 fees. Sir G. C. LEwis would not oppose the introduction of the bill, and would place his own bill for discussion on the same day. - Leave was given. Sir F. Salmi was moving for committee to enquire into the itate of the gunboats, when the hiotsp was coußtsout. CURIOUS OMNIBUS CASE AT THE POLICE COURT. The court was crowded by gentlemen who reside in Edge-lane, Edge-hill, and the localities, who tattle to hear the details of a charge made by Mr. T. Wil liams, Chemist, &c.; Lord-street, against the driver of oiie Of Mr. bilsby's oinnibtises, for tarrying a patseriger more than lieensed to do. Mi. Cobb was for the defendant. Mr. Williams said : On Wednesday morning last, the 16th instant, I Was a pas senger inside the 'bus; there were eighteen persons in it, and that is two more than it is licensed to carry, , and this was the offence eOinplained of. 'creis-eiaznined by Cobb.—Will fisti aiveir that Viiiit'eeti phisOgers were MOH than the ilumberl—Withesa : It is painted up ; that ,the bus is licensed to carry 'seventeen pas sengers, but the measurement is only for sixteen. Inspector Byres (of .'the carriages) said such was the case; but he had measured the 'bus, and found it ought to . carry sixteen passengers only. Mr. Cobb (to Mr. Williams, the prosecutor) : Who told you that the 'bas was only capable of carrying sixteen . passengers?-=I ascertained that when the inspector measured it. That Morning was very wet, I believe ?-- , s Witness : Yes, it *as very *et. to you ride in the 'bus in fine weather ?—Very seldom. Mr. Cobb : Did you not send a stranger to take a seat for you ?—Yes. And he gotta when the 'bus came to your place, for you to get into it ?—Yes. And did you pay double fare for that? —I did not. Whom did you send?---My servant. Mr. Cobb : You sent your servant, who occupied a place in the 'has for a long way, and then he gets out; and you get in, and rode to town for a single fare did. Mr. Cobb : Do you think, sir, that is h.ellai er dis honest on your part•?—i . 'thin t it perfectly honest. Mr. Cobb: Don't :yet't 'think, sir, you are a mere comrkOn InfeYiner ?—I think I acted quite right. Mr. Cobb : What are you, sir, besides a common. informer?—You know what I am very well. Mr. Cobb : I do not, sir, but I must ; what are you, sir ? A chemist_ and druggist. Mr. Cobb : And an informer also ?—I don't think that observation is called for. Mr. Cobb : I think it is ; and . I Will repeat, you are a common informer in this case. tt *lit a very wet thorn 'ing, you say?-4 say tO, Mr. Cobb : Don't you know the extra pEshenger ran into the vehicle out Of the wet, a the 'time the conductor was on the top, collecting . the fires ?—I don't know. Was it not the conductor ' -who pilled the additional manont of the That was after I Complained. • A. getYtthiLin said, rather than have'the eonditetot ammoned he would get out, and he did `so. twould say the extra passenger rode thirty yards.—Mr. Cobb : Were you very much incommoded ? Very.—Mr. Cobb And had you that white waiscoat on: you too ? (Laughter.) Witness : I think year remarks" are very ludicrous.—Mr. Cobb I think Ya - , are very' ludicrous, and I will make , you More so before I have, done with you. hiliiPose your white waistcoat was incommoded? (Laughter.) Was Mr. Godfrey, the attorney, in the 'bus ? I think he was.—And did you hear him say to an old gentleman win wanted to get in, 'Age before honesty ?" I think so.—And do you think it very proper to lay this information ? I think it quite proper to do so.—Mr. Cobb : It is only skichn . ere:on as you would do so. You only ridb on a wet day ? Generally 50..--Did net the 'boy stop the 'bus and say there was she iiioih 'than the number, and did not Mr. Bales Heil girt out at once ? Yes.—lnspector Byres said he measured the 'bus, and at sixteen inches to each person it would carry sixteen persons, but, there was a notice up that it was licensed to carry seventeen inside, and it has carried seventeen up to this time, and I heard no complaint before this, but I dill iitSt kIA carried seventeen persons nnAl Yia.—Mr. Cobb then addressed the conxt, ithald it was a most contemptible proceeding on the part of Mr.' Williams, the chemist at& druggist, of Lord-street, and who now has turned common informer against an omnibus, out of the most vindictive feelings. (Mr. Williams denied this.) He contended that to send a servant to take a seat in the 'bus, and then to get out to let in the complainant, without paying a second fare, was a downright fraud on the Messrs. Busby, and he said so advisedly as a lawyer, and yet in the face of this robbery he barns common informer ; because the, dignity of his White waistcoat waa infringed on. (Laughter.) He ,said the additional passenger got in whilst the conclncters ail the top of the vehicle collecting the fhre, indiWe 'bits had not gone twenty yards wheA the Passenger was taken out by the boy hiagtif. lie said such a case' as the present tte*l- contemplated 'by the act; but he would pia Minesses in the box, who would put a dif fettlit Construction on the whole affair. He called Mr. Bales, wholesale biscuit-baker, who lives in Edge-lane, and who stated that there appeared to him to be. some fourteen or fifteen persons in the 'bus; there was no complaint made, and two or three more got in at Edge hill, where the 'bus stopped. The con.dtr;tor was at the top collecting at the time when the persons got in, and certainly the vehicle did not go more than eight or nine yards when the lad said there was one over the number in, and be (Mr. Bales) at once got out. Mr. T. Cook, Mr. John Godfrey, attorney, and. Mr. Carter,_who travelled 'in the "bus; gave similar evidence. A long discussion followed on the-law of the age, and Mr_ Cobb certainly &Veit - with great severity on the conduct of Mr. Williams, 'and said it was contemptible in the extreme, and quite beneath the 'dignity of all gentlemen who travelled by that 'bus. Several gentlemen who present seemed to agree in this, and spoke in favour of the Thus," the driver, and tandattor. Inspector Byres said. there were eight inebes in the 'bus over the room for sixteen pertens, and he never heard a complaint before. tt was the excise that licensed the vehicles, but a 'bus carrying twelve paid the same as one carry ing seventeen. At length it was found that the magis trates could not avoid inflicting a fine, but Mr. Stewart thought the infraction of the law was very small, and imposed a penalty of only 255,, being the lowest the act allowed. The suspension .of Messrs. J. Foot and Sons, of Spital-squate, engaged in the silk trade, is announced. ACCIDENTS.--Richard Ross, a sailor, residing in Blundell-street, was knocked down in Oldhall-street, yesterday, and sustained a severe wound on the lip and contusions of the body.—Patrick Malone, a labottret, residing in Cabery-place, Saltney-street, fell off a yard of the ship Middlesex, in Beathley-Moore Dock, and sustained a fractured M'Combe, labourer, residing at 17, Regent-street, received a severe scalp wound on board the same ship at the same time. SERIOUS CASE OF STABBING.—At five o'clock on Monday evening a man named Joseph Lee, landlord of the Plasterers' Arms beerhouse, Stafford-street, Wolver , . hampton, while playing at skittles in. the Vine public house, St. Johnstreet, in that town, was assaulted and stabbed with a pitchfork by a man named Edward White, of St. John-street, who was immediately arrested. Dr. Pope was called, and said that he might get better, but there would be great danger that inflam mation might arise. LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT.—(Before J. K. Blair, Esq.)—A Wine and Refreshment Bill.—Catherine Var nogen,_late "upper servant " at the Saddle Hotel appeared on a claim against her late mistress, Mary Orme, for the sum of 19s. 4d. The plaintiff Mitered into the defendant's service on the 19th of March, in the present year. After remaining with her about four weeks she gave notice to leave. At the expiration of the week, defendant refused to pay plaintiff her salary for the five weeks, amounting to 195. 4d., alleging as a reason that the plaintiff had stolen wines and spirits to a much greater extent than would be covered by her salary. In consequence of the defendant's persisting in this statement, the present action had been brought. Mr. Tyndall, who appeared for Miss Orme, called a number of witnesses, who stated that on the Sunday before plaintiff left, a bottle of brandy was missed from a cupboard of which she had the keys. Plaintiff ap peared very excited during the day, and at night was quite intoxicated. It was also stated that a quantity of wine had been stolen by the plaintiff from the cellar of the house. The judge decided for the defendant.

G E ORGE'S-IN-THE -EAST. —These unseemly proceedings seem to be now drawing to a close, the Bishop of London having on Saturday last issued a monition against the practice of alloming the choristers to have seats within the altar rails. 31r. Thompson, the churchwarden, at once set to work and removed the seats from within the communion raili rigs; and on Sunday morning, previous to the commencer nent of the service, he informed the Rev. Mr. Dove of the effect and import of that monition, and told him dis tinctly that if any procession of these "singing men and singing boys" into the church was attempted he we ,uld most assuredly prevent it. The choristers, to the nun tber of fourteen, were huddled into the rector's pew, w'aich the churchwarden told them he had no objection to their occupying. The morning services accordingly passed off without anything calling for rcniaric, BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS. IMPORTANT MEETING.

He tho ught they had snide the best arrangettient with Mr. 'rain which they possibly could. The general features of the arrangement were that Mr. Train, at his own risk and cost, was to lay from their ferry up to the park, and in other directions, a tram way, whieh other carriages besides his own might use. They believed that it would be of great advantage to that town; that it would save the wear and tear of the. teads; ,and, be a rticans of developing , tbe ,piopertt Of the to rich p J 1U the ratk, and of their land in that district. The committee, considering these circumstances, and believ ing this arrangement was likely to prove not only beneficial in regard to the wear and tear of the streets, but beneficial in regard to the increased traffic to the ferry and the sale of their property, felt that they would not be justified in refusing the liberal terms which Mr. Train had offered. Mr. Train had made terms with the township which he had reftised .to ccntede to other parties, reason ,was that. Birkenhead ,was well adapted for iii 6 irititidtiCtieii of the sy s tem, being laid out like the streets in America, with . wide streets built at right angles; seeing this, and that it, was so near Liverpool Ind Manchester, he had thought it a good place to exhibit the advantages of his plan. Since he (the chairman) had attended the board last, he had had an opportunity, both in Liverpool and London, of talking with gentlemen who had been in America, and who all declared, hearing of what was being done that no greater advantage and improvement could be conferred on Birkenhead than by the introduction of this plan. Now, what was their position ? Mr. Train took np the street, laid down the tramway; he harided bier 16 theni the roils And Allan its d security for the, satisfactory performance of the work, and in addition, had given them the security of two responsible parties to'the extent of £3,000. The plant alone Mr. Mills, their surveyor, considered would more than cover any loss which the township could sustain if they bad to take up the rails. By those means they were perfectly secure in allowing the laying down of a means of com munication not hitherto adopted in this country, but calculated to prove of incalculable value, and which would, do more to improve the property in the outskirts which the township possesses than any other means which could be adopted. He thought it would be iirifaii to Mt, 'train to read and l e t the know all the details of the arrat*errierit, of which he hadstated the general . heads. He should, theiefoie, move the confirmation of the agreeMent as approved of by the committee. Any Commissioner could see it. Mr. HARRISON should be most happy to second the motion. He was quite convinced Mr. Train had offered terms to them which their really hot have ex pected. 'Mi. arrison's) own impression was . that he had done great injustice to himself, and when he was acquainted with it he could not but wonder at his sign ing such an agreement. However, be had some other object in view, and they were to have the advantage of it. Mr. GOUGH—I am not at all objecting to the scheme, but I thought that I was doing my duty in desiring that the public should know the details. You said you know the sureties. Here am I called upon to approve of sureties I do ilot know. The CHAIRMAN—You were present yesterday. and voted that the matter should be left in the hands of Mr. Harrison, Mr. Keightley, and myself. Mr. GouGx—To report. The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Gough or any commissioner might know the names of the sureties ; but he had mentioned before that it was not prudent or usual to make such things public. Dr. BAvids said the chairman had omitted the men tion of one thing. If these railways succeeded they should be connected with the districts north and south along the margin of the river, and Birkenhead would be made really the metropolis of the whole of the peninsula. There was one part of the subject which should have great attention, and that was the course laid down. He wished the chairman would state the streets in which it was proposed to place the railway. The CitamotArr said the first line to be taken would be from Woodside Ferry along the shore to Argyle-street and Conway-street to the Park-entrance. Dr. BAYLIS—That is to be a double line ? The CnAiructs—A double line. Dr. BAYLIS said it was at first proposed to go up Argyle-street and to have a return line down Hamilton street, to connect all that district with the market. He asked the committee to reconsider the question, because a lino through Hamilton-street would be in the centre of the most populous district. The CHAIRMAN said.it had been stated at the former meeting that therewas a strong oppositien out of doors, but he produced a strong requisition begging that the line might go up Hamilton-street. Mr. Trait wished to have permission to lay down rails in that and other streets. If it answered to Grange-lane they should have petitions begging Mr. Train to lay rails in other portions of the town. The committee, however, did not wish to force the project upon the town, but to go on quietly. Re was sure Mr. Train would be anxious to go on further if it answered. It was, however, important that this memorial should come in from Hamilton -street, and he had little doubt that they should shortly have a line in Hamilton-street as well. Mr. HARRISON said there was no objection to Hamil ton-street; the difficulty lay at the corner of Bridge street and the ferry. Ordinary carriages could hardly turn there. Mr. A‘,SI'INALL believed the time was not distant when they should have to go to Parliament, and 4ould s ee the property occupied by Mr. Gough one great horse railway terminus. (A laugh.) It was then agreed that the seal should be affixed to the agreement. £37,962 7 11 Ezpenditurc A s. d _ General Repairs, viz.:-- Steamers Woodside Slips ' Monks' Ferry Slips 35 12 9 Repairs of Buildings • l7 16 7 General Wages £6,801 5 0 Relief Fund Allowances Nals 5 1 105 Miseellaneints ChargeS Rates and Taxes • 761 13 0 492 5 1,111 0 3 Insurance • ' • 75 2 0 Salaries. 691 0 10 I PrintiAag and Stitionery Cotrussion on Bank A ccount Compensation Paid for steamer Newport „ Corporation of Liverpool on account of advanees 750 0 0 R' interest f t 168 13 7 ent (less Income-tax) 4.403 6 8 Total expenditpre • Cash transferrepl to.torhiship. 1860 Balance in 24th April, 1960, viz. the North and South %Vales Bank. viz.:--- On General Account „ Relief FUnd 7O 0 ei „ New Boats' Fond Account 5,930 16 10 „ Sinking Fund Account S2Q 7 10 ,; Contingent Fund Account 1,115 5 3 .26,147 1 9 4,000 0 0 In the hands of the Treasurer. 7,793 5 6 20 0 £37,962 7 11 (Signed), JOHN S.

He also noticed that this increase had not been sudden, or by fits and starts, but regular and steady ; and he thought there was everything in surrounding circum stances to induce them to hope that it would still be pro- gressing. The expenditure of the township had increased, but not quite in Ali diuivalent degree ; and he bad no delibt that fact would have the attention of the various committees in preparing their estimates of expenditure for the present year. Dr. BAYLIS said the income and expenditure were nearly together. He believed there were two causes for this—one connected with dock rating, and the other the less income which had been received froth ftiliway assessments. Mgr BAE should mention that they took credit for a very large amount of arrears—L2,soo from the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board for rates, and £5OO which they still claimed from the railway company. These would form £3,000 towards the £1,500 deficit in the year's accounts ; that was, if the rates were received, in stead of being £1,500 minus, they should be that much in excess. Dr. BAYLIS asked as to the state of the proceedings with the Dock Hoard for the recovery of the arrears. Mr. WALikt said the question was waiting the decision of a special case. Dr. BAYLIS—IS there any prospect of its early settle- merit Mr. WALN—It is scarcely in our power to expedite it, unless we institute proceedings on our own account. asstheyevery had reason b e ton up to a believe that Ih t e h o C s il e k r l a n te m s A w N would be h epaid,trew as short time ; and if they recovered them they would come in this year or the next, and would form a larger amount than was deficient novr. Mr. Gottbar said the statement of Mr. Rae did not t n o t s last consort year, e a r, with thewhich glowing first e st had be wh th ie e h they could pay their way. At that time he (Mr. Gough) ing declaredaee entimeg given s did not take such a sanguine view, and asked if all the accounts were paid. It was stated that all were paid but about £6OO for law expenses. Well, this year, he was sorry to see, it bad not turned out as they had been led to believe. The interest of the bonded debt was £10,70e a-year, and from the surplus available he apprehended that there would be a deficiency upon that amount. This state of things, in his opinion, was owing to the bad management of the committees; one expense was gone into after another, till it led to thousands of decrease. See what an enormous expense they had laid out on the building where they were then met, when they could have had all accommodation required at Monk's-ferry Hotel, now bringing in nothing. He hoped that by future improved management they ahould decrease their expenses. Dr. BAYLIS thought Mr. Gough was under a mistake as to the law expenses last year; there were other accounts due not paid, because they had not been given in. To have repaired Monk's-ferry Hotel would have cost more than they had spent on the present building. It was taken for granted last year that they should have more of a surplus this year from the ferries than had taken place ; but he did not see that the committee were responsible for estimates, when so many unexpected things arose. The CHAIRMAM said ono thing should be observed — the interest was taken out to the end of the year, and before that time th e y m i g h t recover th e amou nt due intot i in t o h n e s a bdyetDa ledgeri r l . be detailed balances. items . l ln i r a . nanps RAE Ee e ar entered n t i n o t eg q r u e s from the Dock Boa r d. l s e a ' s n . ati T o h n e of i s l 7 , 7 B a B l placed opposite the name of Mr. Bootbby, was what he was indebted for land. He was about to arrange it by handing over bonds of the Commissioner to that amount. With regard to the £2,057 put to Ilchester-road Wharf, it was outstanding there till certain arrangements were completed, and it would then be transferred to the general property account belonging to the township. The £l,BOO to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests was the remainder of a debt due to them for certain fore-shore rights surrendered to the commis sioners. [The Chairman—That is payable over 21 years.] The £5,000 owing to R. Watson and A. Wood was a mortgage owed by the market. The £3,250 to the Corporation of Liverpool was for the river wall at Woodside Ferry. Mr. J. Laird's river wall account was a balance they were paying off by an allowance on his rent. It would be geared off, he beloved, in eighteen THE DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 23,. 1860.

A sailor named John M‘lienna was charged by another sailor named. Richard Jones, with having violently assaulted him.

ENCiIiIRY INTO THE LOSS OF THE GARLANII testerday morning, at the Crown Court, St. George's gr. T. 8, Riffles and Captain Harris, R.N., an official enquiry took pack' the, loss of the Gar land, on the Calf of Man, on the 29th of Allan'. Mr. O'Dowd, solicitor to the Board of Trade, appeared on behalf of the Government. From his opening remarks it appeared that the Garland was built at Quebec in 1850. Her length was 152 feet; breadtb, 31 feet; and depth in hold, 22 feet ; registered tonnage 968. Her' owners were Messrs. Edward Walton and Thos, W. Cookson. Captain, Christopher Slater; and her cre* ntimhered 21 persons, She left Liverpool in bal last, on the 28th of April, for Quebec; was tented by steamer seven niiies_46stErly of the tell-buoy, and then proceeded on N.N.W. course, on her voyage, carrying all sail, and with light wind. Next morning abotitidf-past 7, Point Lynes bore S.S.W., distant about 31 leagues. They steered for the North Channel, and about eleven o'clock were within 10 miles of the Calf of Man. At this time the weather was hazy and thick, and she went on N. by E. until about six in the evening, when she was hauled to the N. The fog increased so much that they could not see their way, and at seven the course was altered to N.N.W. About eight o'clock, a light, supposed to be that of a steamer, was observed, and at nine, land *as secti tight ahea d on the port bow, about a distant ; arid the captain afiri cfevii supposed it was the Oast of Ireland. The helm *as put to port, and the ship battled by the wind on the starboard tack. The weather cleared tip a little, and the land was found to be the Mull of Kadtyre. At ten p.rii. an attempt was made to "wear," Or Writ her ffont the ldnd, when she struck. There being a heavy sea, she rolled heavily, made a good deal of water, and was bilged. She became a complete wreck, and at day-light, the crew proceeded to strip her. Mr. O'Dowd went on to state that the assigned cause of the wreck was either defect in the compasses, or the state of the tides ; but he thought the ebb-tide, which had run four hours at the time, would have helped to keep the vessel in her proper course. He thought he would be able to prove that no soundings were taken nor was the anchor 'the following Witnesses We're then called ; David Patrick (15, Lower Aill-street,) was the first witness called. He was first mato of the Garland. They left Liverpool on Saturday, the 28th April, at about eleven e'clock. On Sunday morning they passed the Isle of Man. It was getting hazy and thick as they passed the island. The course steered after leaving the Isle of Man was north and by east ; this course was continued till about six o'clock, when the captain hauled her up north. At seven o'clock it was very foggy, and the ship was hauled to the N.N.W. They saw nothing till about nine o'clock, when they came in sight of the Mull of Kantyre, distant about a mile. At first they were not quite sure where they were. They supposed it was the Irish coast, and set sail, and steered about E.S.E. At ten p.m. the wind began to shift. The ship was dragging round upon the land, and the captain tried to wear her. She would not wear because of the breeze having died away, and the ship struck at about eleven o'clock p.m. They were still uncertain where they were. They had the lead line on deck all the time from leaving Liverpool, but did not use it (witness believed) until after she struck. She struck very heavily, and lay on the ground about an hour and a-half. The vessel began to break up on Monday night. The two compasses agreed, but when the ship was cleared a quantity of iron was found in a locker in the cabin and under the compasses. Witness thought that the iron was too far down to have any influence on the compasses. At eight o'clock on Sunday evening they saw a light, but could not tell to what it belonged, as the weather was too hazy ; they thought it was a steamer's, or else Sandy light. Witness was on deck from twelve o'clock on Sunday morning until she struck. Every precaution was taken ; they had all sail set before the afternoon, when it became so thick that they shortened sail to make her go easy. They tried to 'anchor, but she struck before they could do so. She struck on a reef three quarters of a mile from the shore. Thomas Hook, the next witness, was the second mate of the Garland. At about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning they passed the Isle of Man. It was getting hazy and thick as they passed the island. Their course after leaving the island was north and by east. This course was kept until about seven o'clock, when the captain hauled her sip north. Nothing was seen till about nine o'clock, when they came in sight of the Mull of Kantyre, distant about a mile. They were not quite sure at first, and set all the sail they could, steering about N.S.E. At about ten p.m. the wind began to shift, and the ship was dragging on the sand. They now attempted to wear her, but the ship struck at eleven p.m. The lead line was on deck all the time from their leaving Liverpool. Witness had the management of the lead; no soundings '*ere taken before she struck. They took soundings afterwards, and found from three to five fathoms. There was nearly half a ton of old iron in the after cabin immediately under the compasses and near enough (the witness thought) to attract them. The iron was in a locker, about two feet below the compasses. All that could be done was done to get the ship off—no lives were lost. Witness saw the light referred to by the last witness. All the sails were set when the ship struck, as they were too close to clew up sails before letting go the anchor. Thomas Allan, the boatswain, was called, but did not appear. James Moore, cook of the Garland, gave evidence corroborative of that of the preceding witness. In addition, he stated that they saw Point Lynes early on Sunday morning, and were abreast the . Calf of Man at half-past two o'clock. There was a strong breeze from the southward and westward all day. Witness went below at eight o'clock, and was aroused half an, hour after by the cry, "Land right ahead." He went on deck, and the captain's orders were, " Brace up on the starboard tack." The ship stood on in that tack for an hour and a half, when land was again seen. The order was given to wear the ship, and in making the attempt she struck. This was about ten o'clock. Witness thought that had the captain hauled the ship in on the other tack when first he saw land, she , would not have struck.. The anchors were on the forecastle until she went ashore. Had the anchors been in proper order the captain might, when he saw land, have lowered an anchor, and secured the ship till morning. The weather was quite clear, and there was no wind or sea to prevent her riding . at anchor. The iron was stowed away in the starboard locker, and some twenty feet from the compasses; so that there could be no attraction. Witness saw the iron ; there was about six or eight hundred weight. After the ship struck, they began .to lower -the long-boat. This occupied three heirs; *nd in Vie meantime the ship drifted consider- TILE NEW DOCK BILL. The CHAIRMAN stated that the Dock Bill for im proved landing stages had been read a third time and passed the House of Commons. It would soon be in the House of Lords, and they had every reason to sup pose it would pass, the only opposition being from the other ferries. The main ground of opposition was that it would throw the entire traffic of the district to the Woodside -ferry. Let the other ferries give the.facilities which they did. Mr. GOUGH asked whether the money was really subscribed for Price's trustees ? He was told by one of them that they could not get the money, yet he saw it stated in the papers that the money was waiting for them. The CHAIRMAN thought the Commissioners were act ing just as Mr. Gough would in business of his own. If Mr. Gough bought a property to which he could not have the title, he would say, I will keep the money in the bank till I get my title. Now the Commissioners were in that position. The moment the title was com pleted, a cheque would be given for the money— £lo3,ooo odd. THE MAINE LAW. The CHAIRMAN said there was a memorial last week, requesting the Commissioners to call a meeting on the subject of temperance. A deputation had waited upon him yesterday. to whom he stated that he did not think the Commissioners would or could refuse to call a meet ing of ratepayers, upon a requisition numerously signed. Th e ir requisition, however, was to call a meeting, to listen to some gentleman giving- a lecture. The Com missioners would object to call any meeting but of rate , payers. The deputation thought they saw great force in that. The object of the meeting was to get an expression from the people of Birkenhead as to the bill brought in ; and if it were not a meeting of the rate payers, nine out of ten might be from other places. Mr. RAE—Would it be competent for any one but a ratepayer to speak at that meeting? • • The CRAIRMAN — No, sir. Mr. AerINALL jocularly remarked that he saw Mr. ably. It was not till she was ashore, and high and dry, that the port anchor was let go, the starboard anchor being hung to the bow. Crces-elirmined by Captain Slater—Don't you think the anchors could hale been got over in three minutes ? No; it would have taken at iaart tiers or fifteen minutes. James Gifford, the carpenter, was gee extrudined ;. but his evidence was merely confirmatory of the preceding witnesses. After his examination, the inquiry r►Bs adjourned until to-day. BANKRUPTS.

PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE BETWEEN FRANCE, AMERICA, AND ENGLAND.-It may be interest ing to our readers to know that there is a match such as the abotre talked of, and that a challenge has been sent out to America and France to row an eight-oared race on the Thames in August next, from Putney to Mortlake, either for a large silver cup, nine smaller ones, or nothing but honour and glory, according to the wishes of the visitors to our river. All the crews are to be formed of enigtents and 6onq Ale natives of their respec tive countries, and each crew to find their own boat, of whatever description they please, no matter how long or what shape ; or, if necessary, we believe that the rowing clubs of the United Kingdom will club together and collect a sum large enough to provide boats for all. It is proposed to call a meeting of all the amateur rowing clubs in the kingdom, and request each club to send a contribution towards the great expenses of the match, and also to offer one or two of their best oars men to form the crews, from which the elected com mittee can select the crew. We sincerely hope that this much-talked of match may take place, as, if it does, we can clearly see that it will do more towards increas ing the number of amateur rowers all over the world than anything else, as the excitement of such a novel and interesting race would create would be immense, and far outstrip all other regattas or boat races, and cause the greatest enthusiasm, not only among oarsmen, but among non-rowers also; who would thus be induced to take to aquatics. —Field. )40MCEOPAT HI C COCOA. repared under the most able Homxopathie advice by the largest Manufacturers of Coco. in Europe.
