Gaston is also to have a reading room, which will be supported by subscriptions, and from the unanimous feeling of approval evinced at a preliminary -meeting held in the village last night, there can be no doubt of its ultimate success. Intending subscribers, or persons desiring the details of the plan ,upon which the reading, room is to be conducted, should communicate with Mr; Harvey, solicitor. TOSTETH PARR GUAEDIA.NS.—MT. H. S.

HEALTH COMMITTEE. —Yesterday, the usual weekly Meeting of the Health Committee was held in the Council-ohamber,—Mr. Alderman Dover presiding. The other members present were —Messrs. Shell, Crellin, Crosthwaite, Haydock, Ridley, Nickson, Steel, Job, Stitt, Bowring, and Beckwith.—The borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspector of nui sances, reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 256 nuisances had been inspected, and means taken to iemedy them. 995 houses in the unhealthiest distriats, containing 3,013 apartments, and 569 cellars, had been put under examination with the view of improving their sanitary condition.--The medi cal officer reported that the number of deaths registered in Liverpool during the week ending last Saturday, was 187, being 37 less than the average of the corre sponding weeks for the last ten years. The deaths in the parish were 125, and in the out-townships 62. Deaths from zymotic diseases were less than ever recorded, 23 —or about 12 per cent. of the general mortality ;10 were from measles, 8 typhus, 2 croup, 1 hooping cough, 1 diarrhoea, I syphilis. From small-pox and scarlatina no death was recorded. The average zymotic mortality in the corresponding week of former years was. 55, against 23 last week. From diseases of the lungs the deaths were 74, being about the corrected average, but 7 more than in the week previous. An application was read from the chairman of the Houseowners' Association, desiring tables of the number of houses built annually since 1846; and the rental at which they are estimated to be let ; also the number of houses erected in Toxteth-park since 1846, and the rental of each .of them. It appeared that these returns would neces sitate the employment of extra clerks, and the application was considered most unreasonable, and was therefore refused. Mr. Stitt introduced a deputation from the inhabitants of Everton, consisting of Messrs. Leicester, Morrison, and M'Connell, praying that the- Council would clear out and place rails around St. Domingo pit. Large concourses of persons were said to assemble at the pit, especially on Sundays, and swim their dogs therein, occasioning a very great nuisance. A member said the expense must be sustained by the ratepayers of Everton ; and Mr. Leicester replied'that he had no doubt the ratepayers of Everton would gladly pay for the removal of the nuisance ; if not, the deputa tion would pay for it themselves. The subject was referred to the Sub-committee, which meets on Tuesday. WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE.—:The usual weekly meeting of this committee took place yesterday. Present Mr. Churchwarden Cropper (chairman), Messrs. Denton, Smith, Satchell, Peck, E. Byford, Williams, Lightbouwl, Goodacre, and J. Whitty. From the accommodation returns it appeared that the number of paupersin the este bliehment last week was 1,865; during the week there bad been a decrease of 5, but as compared with the corres ponding week or last year there was an increase of 76. The returns of medical officer stated that the num ber of sick paupers in the wards last week was 592 ; new cases since, 136 ; discharged; 113 ; 'died, 30. The number remaining for treatment was 05, including 28 fever and 20 itch cases. The number` of destitute persons relieved in the vagrant sheds during the week Vag 176- men, -116 women, 28 children ;- total, 319, being an increase of 31 persons Over tMi• return 'of the previous week, and,- when' compared with the corres liondbig leek of list year, an increase of 31 peraorss. The governor, Mr. Carr, reported that the butter sup plied by Mr. Price was bad, and that daring the week he had returned five firkins to the contractor. Some conversation took place as to 'the mode of supplying beef, and ultimately Mr. Denton moved that they , return to the old system of contract, by buying an entire carcase instead of pieces "as now. On a vote being taken the motion was lost by 4to 3. A letter was read from Mr. ChillinglaW, Ilately dispenser in the Work house, stating that owing to the trouble he had been put to in attending to the sufferers from the' Great Tasmania, the sum of £2 10s, voted since by the committee, was totally inadequate, and he therefore enclosed a note of his fee, amounting to,£lo 10s. The sub-committee appointed to consider and report upon the applications by the resident medical officers for an improved scale of rations, submitted their report. It stated that after having given the subject their best consideration, they had come to the resolution of recommending a more liberal scale of rations to the matron and medical officers, viz., 2 oz. of tea, 4 oz. of coffee, Q lb. of moist sugar, t lb. of currants, f lb. of raisins, lb. of bacon, and 1 dozen eggs weekly, in addition to the rations at present allowed. They also recommended a bottle of ale or porter instead of the draught ale now supplied, and that vegetables, other than potatoes, should, when in store, be occasionally issued to these offi Applica tions were also read from various official:eors. of the Work house, representing that the quality of some of the rations supplied to them•was very indifferent, and that -the-- quantity of others -furnished -was not sufficient. Mr. Critchley, chairman': of the sub-committee, .being Absent, it was agreed that the subject shOu r l ed dlie over till next meeting. The following lett er was a TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE. SIR,—We, as the contractors for the last ten years alluded to by Mr. Turner, during last Thursday's proceelings, beg to 'protest against his unjust remarks, reflecting discredit on our selves and the officers of the Workhouse. His insinuations with regard to our dishonourable conduct towards a fellow tradesman we repel with disdain. confident it would in no degree influence the gentlemen of your board. At the same time, it was most unjustifiable and ungentlemanly to mix up our firm in an affair with which we could have no concern. It appears that what we have hitherto considered a mark of distinction, in being chosen for so long a time to supply the Workhouse, is no proof, in Mr. Turner's opinion, we merit approval,---rather does it show some sign of injustice in the administration of parish affairs. However superior the meat reguired by Mr. Turner for his "private trade," we cannot permit him to deprecate the article we supply to the general public ; but we believe it is without precedent a man in the discharge of his public duties vaunting the excellence of his own wares, to the disparagement of his .neighbours."—We remain, your obedient seftants, JAMES ItALL AND SoU. 76, St. James's-street. and 2, Preeson's-row. June 6, 1360. Considerable diseusiion then ensued with respect to the necessity for paying some attention to the memorial sent by certain old men to the Poor-law Board, setti ng forth certain grievances under which they laboured. -The...Governor having been examined as to making their situation more comfortable, it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Williams, that the floor of their sitting room be boarded, and that fires be again lit, The other business was of minor importance, MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR BOARD ' The usual weekly meeting of this' board took place yesterday. • Mr. C. Turner,' chairman of the board, presided, and there Were present Messrs. Laird, Little :dale, Mondel, Segar, Smith, Shand, Langton, Evans, Hubback, Boult, Darbyshire, Holme, Arnold, Bushell, Lockett, Graves, Forwood, Moss, Rounthwaite. The minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed. WORKS COMMITTEE, The minutes of this committee were then submitted. They stated that the engineer having represented the necessity for caulking the marts of the Princes Landing stage, they hall agreed tci recommend that the same be e:meuted, They else contained a recommendation to the effect that the offer of Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Son, to construct a landing-stage at, Woodside be accepted, the contract price being .E 74,624 9s 9d, and that the securities, Wm. H. Dawes, of Birmingham, and George Dawes, of Barnsley, be approved of. The minutes also included the following letter from. Messrs. W. and H. Laird:— TO THE CHAIRMAN OT THE H REOURMASTERB' COMMITEEE, LIVERPOOL. Sin,---We ship annually a large quantity of cannel and other coal for the United States, in the North Docks. It would be a convenience to Us, and the tradetienerally, if we were allowed to take it alongside in rail Way wais, the low-level on Wellington or Sa n d on D ock ; butt on the, Price you charge for the use of the rails, viz., 6d. per ton, is altogether prohibitory. At present vessels loading this kind of coal take in their car goes in Stanley or Collingwood Dock. They are limited to these docks, as the canal boats, being very shallow, are not fitted to go.from one dock to another without great risk. The rate by the canal to the ship side is 2s. per ton; the rate by rail to the North Docks is ales 25., and landage on to the quay 6d., so that this 6d., with the 61. added by you, stops all business being done by rail. As this Niel pays the Harbour Tr u st 31d . p e r ton i n e x port dues, and as some advantage will be gained by relieving the ; Stanley and Collingwood Docks of ships, for which there is hardly accommodation there, may we enquire—First. Whether you Will sanction the use of the low-level rails for loading cannel ? Second. Whether you will allow the use of the rails without charge, seeing that no charge is made for the use of the docks to Platt or lighters for Idading vessels in illy of the Liverpool Docks? !• We may remait, respeeting the cannel coal, that it does not make the same amount of dust as other coal.---We are, your obedient servants, w. & H. LAIRD. Mr. SHAND moved the confirmation of the minutes. Mr. HOLME having made a few remarks, The CHAIRMAN said that the letter raised many dif ficult questions, which would require to be decided by one. committee or another. One question which it raised was, whether they could give the "use of the rails free of charge. On this point he thought that if they granted them for coals they, of course, must grant them for all other classes of goods as well. He did not say whether or not this proposal should be agreed to ; but he 'considered that the matter was a very serious one. Then .again, the question occurred as to whether it was possible .to use the low level railway for coals. If it was put in use for the shipment of coals, it was quite clear that it must be used for something else ; and he was afraid there .was not sufficient space at their disposal for doing so The entire subject was one which both the Works Com-. 'mittee and the Harbourmasters Committed 'should take into consideration, with the view of bring up a recommendation to the general board. In the mean time the engineer might give his opinion as to how far it was practicable to ship coals by the low level line. Mr. HARTLEY, the engineer, said the only quays at their disposal for the purpose were those at the north end; and to have the quays crowded with quantities of coal waiting to be shipped, would cause a great deal of inconvenience. Mr. HOLME was su►e this was a question which would press itself upon theft- attention when the opening of the Birkenhead Docks was under consideration, for certainly the different railway companies would not consent to be taxed sixpence per ton when they could have free rails on the other side. He could not see how there was any difficulty in the way, because suffi cient opportunities could be granted for the shipping of coals. It was a matter to which they ought to give their most serious attention. When they saw the very great facility on the Thames, and found that a consi derable portion of trade was being diverted from Liver pool in consequence of the insufficiency of their accom modation, they ought to give the subject all the consi deration they could. Mr. LOCKETT considered that there was not sufficient space at their command for the more speedy shipment of coals. Mr. EVANS remarked that if there was no room, then it was no use entering any further into the matter. With regard to the other side of the river, he did not think that facilities should be given gratuitously there. The CHAIRMAN suggested that the whole subject should be referred to the Harbourmasters Committee, and the Docks and Quays Committee. (Hear, hear.) He might state, with referenCe to the remarks of Mr. Rolme, that he was as anxious as any one to make the facilities as great as possible, but they must remember that the circum stances of the two sides of the river were totally different. , Mr. LAIRD remarked that the question had been asked several times as to whether the corinnittee were bound to accept the lowest offer for building the landing -stage at Woodside. They were bound by no such condition ; but for the satisfaction of the public, he might state that the tender of Messrs. Vernon and Son was the.owest. (Hear, hear.) • Mr. BOULT said he understood they were about to pro ceed with the constructing a stage upon plans which had not yet received the sanction of Parliament; and it was quite possible they might be defeated when they applied for that sanctien. In the meantime, therefore, it would be competent for any interested party to apply for a man damus to the Court of Queen's Bench, to stop the work. He considered that it would be inadvisable to a ccept any tender before receiving the requisite power from Parliament. _ Mr. HARTLEY observed that the landing -stage to be constructed by Messrs. Vernon and Son was exactly that which had been already sanctioned by Parliament. The other bill was a matter to be considered sub sequently. • Mr. BOULT—Then we have not the whole cost of the erection before us ? Mr. HARTLEY—Certainly net. The suggestion of the Chairman with regard to Messrs. W. and H. Laird's letter was agreed to. The minutes were then confirmed. WAREHOUSE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were then read. Mr. HU33BACK, in moving their confirmation, stated that with reference to the storing of cotton in Birken head, arrangements for storing 24,000 bales had been made, and they were in course of transit thither. Mr. GRAVES inquired whether it was intended to store guano at Birkenhead ? Mr. LAIRD said that the allusion made at last meeting, was only to the warehouse, and he wished now to ask whether it was intended to store cotton in the mahOgany shed ? Mr. HUBBACK stated in reply to Mr. Graves that the committee had received a letter from Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co., requesting storage room for a quantity of guano in the warehouse at Birkenhead, but without stating when the cargo would arrive. The committee could not consent to allowing the space to lie unoccupied in an ticipation of this arrival, but they were willing to receive and consider any future application. , They wished to retain the guano trade, but still they could not consent to allowing the premises to be left empty. In reply to 31r. Laird; he said it was contemplated, to store part of the,cotton in the mahogany shed. Mr. FORWOOD wished to know if the cotton was to be turned out to accommodate the guano. Mr. GRAVES said that Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. had done everything they could to induce shipowners to go across to Birkenhead, but, in consequence of the extraordinary indemnity demanded, they had refused to do so. Mr. LAIRD was desirous of knowing the total quantity that could be stored in the warehouse and mahogany shed. Mr. ARNOLD said he estimated them to be capable of accommodating about 35,000 bales. The CHAIRMAN understood that cotton could be stored here on the same terms as it could anywhere else. The minutes were confirmed. MARINE COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee included a report from the Marine Surveyor as to the capabilities of the new lifeboat. It stated that the trial had not been made — in favourable circumstances, as the water was compara tively smooth. It stated further that the crew had objected to her construction in some respects; but he would not advise that she should be altered in any way in the meantime. Mr. MoNDEL moved that the minutes be confirmed. Mr. GitAvEs suggested that as the lifeboat had only been tried in smooth water, and considering the discus sions which had taken place at that board on the subject, some early opportunity should be taken of testing her full powers in rough water. He thought it would be advisable to experiment before putting her into actual service ; and he hoped, therefore, that a competitive examination of the boats would take place on the first occasion a gale of wind was blowing. (Hear, hear.) The minutes were then confirmed. ..P...E s become i what 'half of twat• ots and ?nt the ) Houee present on, and classes The" ;faction nplored ray safe aid wai oa e the )t to be u ntil la year. the bill r.

The proceedings of this committee did not embrace any feature of interest. On the motion of Mr. Shand they were confirmed. DOCKS AND QUATS COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee having been read and their adoption moved by Mr. Lockett, Mr. ARNOLD said he wanted to call attention to the stowage of pig iron at the north-west corner of Canning Dock, and also at the Graving Dock. The iron had been lying there for several weeks, and in one particular instance it was stowed over the roadway, so that only one cart could pass. The pig iron he understood was discharged from the Glasgow traders. He considered this was not a proper appropriation of the quays. Mr. LOCKETT said he had spoken to the harbour master on the subject, and he stated that all the pig iron lying there came from the Glasgow traders. The attention of the committee was called to this !natter, and the minutes were 9onfirmedl MASTER PORTERS COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee embraced no matter of importance. On the motion of Mr. Arnold they were confirmed. OBSTRUCTION AT SEACOMBE. A letter was read from Mr. R. Jaap, of SeacoMbe, ,complaining that a railing had been erected in that locality whereby - the people were prevented , taking a walk along the sea-wall, which had hitherto been a favourite plad of resort. He had brought the subject .before the board with the view of having its legality tested. The CHAIRMAN—The engineer informs me that the railing has been erected by the owners of the property, and cen§eghently we have no control whatever. Mr. Jaap had better be informed that such is the case. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, A communication was read from Messrs. A. and J. Reid, of Chester, bringing under ,the notice of the board the fact that they carefully executed any mechanical engineering that was entrusted to them. Remitted to the Works Committee. A HARD CASE. A letter was read from Mr. George Welsh, marine store dealer, 23, Standish-street, representing that recently, when waiting, with his horse and cart on the landing-Stage, the arrival of the Itiggage goat from Tranmere, his horse stumbled, when it was precipitated into the water and carried away. He had some difficulty in saving himself, and the loss thus entailed on him would amount to £2O. Ho therefore asked that, if the board might see fit, the board would indemnify him . for his loss. Mr. MONDEL said this was a claim which they could not at all admit. The communication was therefore declined. ACCOMMODATION FOR STORING TOBACCO. The following letter was then submitted : TO CHARLES TURNER, ESCI,,, CHAIRMAN OP THE MERSEY DOCKS AND HARDOVR BOARD. take the liberty of addressing you, as Chairman of the Mersey Docks and Harbdiir Board, relative to a represen tation Which has been made to you by Mr. Maxwell Hyslop, complaining of the heavy charges the importers of tobacco are subject to on depositing the same in this warehouse. To this I would respectfully beg to observe that this representation is not fair towards me, inasmuch as the allegations are not founded on fact. • - Mr. Hyslop has appealed to the Treasury and to the Board of Customs on several occasions, and I presume had there been any just cause of complaint either the Treasury or Board of Customs would have interfered, which they have not done. It was inferred in the committee that the charges in Liver pool are higher than those in London or Glasgow, but such is not the case for even at the Victoria Docks, where the charges are said to be the lowest in the kingd - m, the actual cost of warehousing tobacco, taking all expenses into' con sideration, is about equal to that of Liverpool. The porterage charges are, I presume, those to which alln don is made, but these are in exact accordance with the rates paid by the trade before I took possession of the warehouse, a list of which I received from Mr. Hyslop's Own bands, and which are considerably lower than similar charges at the Victoria Docks. As to the rent, the rates were retinal' by me immediately on becoming lessee from 41d., the charge made by the Crown, to 3d. per hogshead per week, and - which higher rate is still . _ levied:l)y the Crown on all tebaeco deposited previous to my occupancy, and still remaining In the warehouse. In London, too, with the exception of the Victoria Docks, to which I have already alluded, the warehouse charges are one-third more than they are here. The best proof I can offer that the charges do not press unfairly upon the trade is that the average receipt and delivery during the past year has exceeded that of former ones. Had I the power to remove the tobacco out of this ware house, I could realise a larger rent by other goods. I trust, therefore, that you will excuse me thus addressin? you, as it appeared to me the most 'suitable means of freeing myself from insinuations'which r consider most . unjust.---I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, DAVID ATWOOL, Lessee. Queen's Tobacco Warehouse, Liverpool,, Ist June, 186 '. Mr. DARDWIIRE said that as an importer of tobacco he could bear- out what was stated by Mr. Hyslop in his letter. He then quoted some statistics to show that the charges made in Liverpool for storage and porter age combined were more than those of London. He observed also that from a calculation made, it would seem that the present lessee was making about £3,000 a-year by porterage alone. Mr. EVANS considered it was a case of most injurious monopoly. Mr. LocKtrr said it would be in the recollection of the Board that representations were made to thetn—he believed by Greeks—to the effect that it was impossible to import tobacco from Turkey as the charges in Liver pool were about 30 per cent. of the cost of the article. The CHAIRMAN thought that if any complaint was to be made it should be made against Government. The Government bad, in the face of their own assurances to the contrary, refused to license any other warehouse in Liverpool than this particular one, knd in this way a complete monopoly was created. THE DOCK GATES. A letter from a Mr. Clare containing suggestions for making better dock gates was referred to the engineer. RAILWAY - A CCOWSIObAT/ON. Communications were read from Mr. James Smet hurst, of the Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Mr.-Henry Bradshaw, of the London and North-Western, with reference to the establishment of a Suitable timber depot contiguous to the line of docks. Remitted to the Works Committee. A proposal from Messrs. Horton, Smith, and Co., to lease two plots of land at Huskisson Dock; was remitted to the Works Committee. A letter was read from Zezenia Brothers and Co., requesting permission to allow 3,500 bags of Indian corn, ex Annie Laurie, to be stored in the transit shed, at the warehouse rent, as it was impossible for them to get room at present. The CHAIRMAN said there would bo some difficulty in granting the request. Mr. Bouvr said that permission was : given them to grant the liberty in special cases. • Remitted to the Docks and. Quays Committee.! Mr. LAIRD wanted to know whether the Warehouse Committee could consider and decide on warehouse accommodation, or whether it required 'a special resolu tion of the board? If there was any , difference of opinion on the subject he would give a special notice of motion. Warehouse accommodation was very badly wanted ; and be thought the board should take the initiative before railway companies and private indi viduals would inevitably do so. Mr. Horzrz remarked that it was almost essential ,that the warehouses should be on the Liverpool side of the river. The. CHAIRMAN said the difficulty was, that on the Liverpool side they had no money, whereas on the other side they had an unlimited expenditure. This, with several other communications, 'were re mitted to various committees for consideration. _ • TILE INDEMNITY QUTSTION. The CHAIRMAN then made-an elaborate reply to the questions asked by My. Laird at the last meeting as to wheikthe resolution was passed authorising the board to enter into a bond of indemnity with shipowners. He quoted extensively from the minutes to show the history of the subject The resolution which bore closely on the matter Was the folloiving At'a Meeting of ,the Committee for Warehouse Management, held the 25th day of July, 1853; present Joseph Ilubback, Esq., Chairman, &c., The solicitor submitted a form of application, for the admis s'on of vessels with cargoes intended for storing in the ware houses, calculated to secure the board from liability to claim for expenses that may be incurred by inability to deliver by water; also, a form of notice to holders of produce now lying in the warehouses, that on or about the Ist October the Great Float will be run dry, which were ordered to be adopted. , (Copy.) I am instructed on behalf of this Board to give you notice, that the portion of the Great . Float , adjoining the Birkenhead Dock Warehouses, and now used as a dock to such warehouses, will, under the terms of the Acts of Parliament for the construc tion of the Birkenhead Dock Works, be necessarily run dry on or about the. ' next, whereby all water access to or from such warehouses will be interrupted, and such interruption will or may continue for six months or upwards after so running such dock dry. It will he necessary, therefore, in such state of things that any goods belonging to you now stored in such warehouses, which you may desire to remove therefrom by water carriage shall be so removed before the said next; and' am further to give you notice that, with respect to any goods which you may not so remove you will not be entitled to claim any compensation or allowance in respect of-any damage, loss, cost, or inconvenience which you may Sustain by being deprived of such water access, or consequent thereupon in any wise. And you are hereby reqaired to onvey the purport of this notice to all persons to whom you may sell or assign any of the goods now stored by you in the said warehouses. BIRKENHEAD DOCKS. I request permission for my ship to enter , the Dock; but I do so with full knowledge on the part of myself and my owners, that the dock is (of necessity) at present in a defective state of repair and subject to much leakage; and that if from the latter, or, any other cause, my ship shall ground , in the dock, and receive damage either as to her hull or cargo, such damage is to be at the sole risk of her owners, and that they are to indemnify the board from all'consequences. Mr. LArmi stated that when he first brought forward this subjecthe had said that the resolution and the indem nity were totally at variance with each other. He now found that he was correct in saying so, as there was no distinct resolution authorising this indemnity to be taken. It had been said that the indemnity was asked for on the suggestion of the engineer; but he thought that in an important matter like this they should not he guided by a servant of the trust, but should have brought it fully before the Board. In taking the course he had done, he was solely influenced by a desire to lay the full facts before the Board. The CHAIRMAN said it was no doubt an oversight of the Harbour and Docks Committee that the matter of the second indemnity 'was not entered on the minutes, but he did not think there could be any difference of opinion as to the necessity for this indemnity being asked for. INIT. LOCKETT understood the Docks and Quays Committee considered the single notice was quite sufficient. The CHAIRMAN suggested that the better mode of correcting the error would be , to put a resolution in the minutes. Mr. GRAVES objected to this course. If a resolution was proposed, he perhaps might have occasion to object to it. The matter was therefore left in the hands of the Docks and Quays Committee. This concluded the public business.

LIVERPOOL LICENSED VICTUALLERS Yesterday afternoon the usual monthly meeting of the Licensed Victuallers' Association was held, at the Institution, Mr. Warrener presiding. The other gen tlemen present were Messrs. LUMb, Coward, Jones, Goulter„ Curwen, Sarbuck, Hornby, Calderbani, Crane, and Allinson. After some minor business had been transacted, The SECRETARY said that he had received a.letter from. Mr. Atkinson (the deputation appointed to oppose the Wine Bill), stating that he had been obliged to proceed to London, without givii a reason ; and another letter which was as follows :—" Having had the honour, in conjunction with Mr. Danson and Mr. H. Lumb, of 'being elelected (by year) one of the deputation to represent your association at the General Conference of ,the Trade, held in London, on the introduction by the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Wine Licenses Bill, I beg respectfully to report that, having been further elected one of the six deputies to represent the country trade on the Parliamentary Committee, ;appointed in conjunction with three members of the London trade, to oppose that bill, that I have attended the various meetings of the committee, and that we have endeavoured as far as possible to carry out the instructions given us to oppose and modify, by every means in our power, the bill introduced by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. In conjunction with my col leagues, we have had interviews with nearly seventy members of Parliament at their private residences, ex clusive of consultations with numbers of others in the lobby of the House; we induced a spirit of opposition to the bill at every stage ; and, so far as the trade is concerned, its provisions have been so modified as to render it nearly harmless. The first clause, which enabled any person keeping a shop for the sale of of any commodity to retail wine in any quantity to be consumed on the premises has been restricted to the sale of wine in bottles only; the number of grounds on which an objection can be taken to the granting of a license has been considerably enlarged, and instead of the indiscriminate sale of wines originally contemplated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, licenses can only be granted to houses which held refreshment licenses, and where eating is the principal business carried on. Very stringent and additional police and excise restrictions and penalties are imposed, and they are further subject to all the special regulations governing public-houses. The Parliamentary Committee further endeavoured to carry out the instructions of the 'trade,' to endeavour to secure the granting of the licenses by the magistrates in the same way that wine and spirit licenses are now granted . by them ; this amendment, proposed by Mr. E. James was, on a division, defeated by a majority of 37 ; but an analysis of the division list shows that the minority represents a considerable number of the electors, population, and wealth of the United King dom. The committee were further instrumental in getting up and presenting a vast number of petitions against the measure; Ithe number of petitions up to May 14th, being 2,201, with 242,729. signatures, whilst the petitions in favour of the measpre, chiefly from beerhouse keepers, did not number more than 8,000 sig natures. I may further observe that the hostile spirit induced by the varied documentary evidence published by the Parliamentary Committee, against the pass ing of this bill has had the effect of bringing the whole of the licensing system under review ; and the feeling evoked, not only in the House of Commons, but in the country generally, is, that instead of extending and increasing facilities for obtain ing licenses, they ought to be still further restricted and controlled. The parliamentary committee with whom I have had the honour to act, have not felt it expedient to offer opposition to the measure in the House of Lords, but have requested the committee of the London Pro tection Society to watch the measure on its introduction, and to summon the committee, in case of emergency only.

The SECRETARY also announced that he had received a copy of the Wine fill, as it had passed through the House. of Lords the second time, and said that great modifications and alterations had been made in it. He read various clauses, illustrating his statement, among them one which required a notice be placed on the door of the premises for which a license was applied, and also on the church door. - ' • The CHAIRMAN stated that the bill, as it had been amended, was completely a new bill. - A general conversation ensued as to the new clauses, and their effect. A letter was read from the London Association, returning thanks for the assistance which had been rendered by Mr. Atkinson ; and after some unimportant business, had been transacted, the public meeting terminated. FDARFUL ENCOUNTER IN CARDIGAN GAOL.---The other =ruing, Jacob, the turnkey at, Cardigan Gaol was opening the cells of two desperate burglars, named John Stuart and Henry Williams, when they both sprang upon him, and,. seizing him by , the neckerchief, twisted it so tightly as almost to throttle him. His cries brought down Mr. Evans (the governor) and his wife, the former armed with his sword, and Mrs. Evans with a loaded revolver. On seeing these unexpected weapons, one of them immediately let go his hold of Jacob, and ran to his cell. Williams, however, retained his grasp, and it was not until Mrs. Evans presented her revolver at his head through the iron gate, threatening to blow out his brains,- that he was induced to let go. Jacob then, with difficulty, opened the kates, and Mr. Evans entered, when Williams sprang at him.in a most determined manner. Mr. Evans, hewever, kept him off with' his sword, the point of which he made him feel, and he then ran trembling into his cell. They were both shortly afterwards put in irons. As a proof of their determined character, it may be mentioned that Mr. Evans found that they had displaced a brick from the fireplace, , and had put the same in the fo o t o f a stocking as a weapon of defence. When -Mr. Evans visited Williams on the following evening he found that he had made an attempt to commit suicide by bleeding. He had opened a vein in his left arm with a piece of glass, and had lost nearly a quart of blood. It appears that Williams, under the name of Jack Grant, fought Tom Sayers, who, in the 64th round, vanquished WALLASEY LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH The monthly meeting of the Local Board of Health was held last evening at the public ,offices, Egremont ; Mr. Pooley presiding. The other members present were Messrs. Hill, Tishwick, Caine, Eyre, Marshall, Hol mes, Kerford, Hughes, and the Rev. Mr. Roberts. The proceedings of the several adjourned and usual meetings having been confirmed, the proceedings of the Works and Health Committee, which were of a formal character, were read and confirmed; and the surveyor was instructed to put String Hey-road in repair. The, pro4edinga of the Gas and Water Committe having been read, Mr. HILL congralulated tlie board on the forward state of the works; everything was being done to insure their immediate completion. An increase of thirty con sumers had taken 'place since the last meeting. The CHAIRMAN announced that 30,000 gallons o f water per hour was yielded from the present bore holes alone—a supply equal to the wants of over twice the number of inhabitants, allowing twenty gallons for each individual. Competent judges assured them that the water was good, and the supply was not likely to fall off. The only subject of complaint was the slow pro gress of the water-works. The minutes were confirmed. On the motion of Mr. Caine, seconded by Mr. Fish wick, the proceedings of the Ferry 'COmmittee. were confirmed. Mr. EYRE enquired if any member could give infor mation as to the time when the ferries would in their possession. The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative. But not one moment should be lost, or had been lost, that he could help. The finance proceedings were read and confirmed on the mltion of Mr. Holmes, sec onded by Mr. Caine. They contained a recommendation to award Mr. Thomas K. Roberts, "the auditor, fifty guineas for his services. The CHAIRMAN stated that the next business was the application of Mr. Braithwaite Poole for the office of general manager of the ferries. Mr. CAINE complained of the resolution come to by the Ferry Committee deferring the appointment of a ferry manager, notwitbitanding the resolution of the last board meeting that Mr. Braithwaite . Poole's application be postponed to the next meeting. Mr. Eyq moved that Mr. Braithwaite Poole be a ppointed. He highly eulogised him, and expressed an opinion—that the board would be. fortunate if they procured a man of his experience and ability as ferry manager. The motion was seconded by Mr. Caine. Mr. HILL opposed the motion, and protested against Mr. Caine's attempting to thrust Mr. Braithwaite Poole down their throat. Mr. ?oole might be a very good . man, but why be in such a hurry to appoint him, when, by advertising, they might secure the services of a better, perhaps ? Further, they might not be in pos session of the ferries for the next twelve months, and they would become the laughing stock of the community if they appointed a ferry manager when they had no ferries to manage. After some further conversation, The CHAIRMAN said that the feeling of the meeting was evidently against the immediate appointment of - a manager, though he expressed his opinion that when the motion would come on for discussion they could have no better man than Mr. Poole. Under these circumstances he recommended that the motion before the board be withdrawn.. Mr. Carriz immediately withdrew hismotion. Die wailhe whole of the business. SERIOUS FIRE LAST NIGHT. About five o'clock yesterday evening, a fire of a ir:(00, alarming nature was discovered in a warehouse, No. 3, Denison-street. The warehouse is owned by Messrs. Jones and Holmes, and contained about 2,500 bales of cotton. The cotton is the property of Messrs. W. and J. Bonn, Messrs. Bates, and Chambers, Pringle and Co., Lawson and Co., and other cotton merchants. At the time that the fire was discovered the men were employed in taking in cotton, and'whilst thus engaged smoke was seen issuing from the windows of room No. 3. Infor mation of the fire was communicated to the station at the Prince's Dock, and the reel from that place was 'immediately in attendance. Mr. Hewitt's engine, from Hatton Garden, followed soon after ; as did also the West of England, under the able superintendence of Mr. Barrett; and relays from Hatton Garden. The cotton must have been smouldering a considerable time before the alarm was given, for upon the arrival of the firemen it was found that the flames had made considerable progress and had extended to room No. 4, which is directly above that in which the fire originated. The fire-engines which were in attendance commenced to play upon the fire from the front and back of the build ing. The firemen were aided in their indefatigable efforts by a plentiful supply of water ; but the difficulty which was experienced in obtaining good positions from which they could play upon the fire, materially lessened the influence which would otherwise have been felt in the subdue' of the flames. To this cause must be 'attri buted the length of time during which the fire raged with apparently unabated vigour. Between 6 and 7 o'clock the whole of room No. 4 was on fire, and tre mendous volumes of smoke issued continuously from the two rooms. It being found that the fire was spreading to that portion of the warehouse in Gibraltar-row, five of the ten branches which were at work were "removed from Denison-straet to Gibraltar-row; but even this appeared ineffectual in subduing the progress of the conflagration. From 7to 9 o'clock the whole neigh bourhood was enveloped in clouds of smoke, which still proceeded with unabated vigour from the two rooms of the warehouse. In the latter portion of the time we have named, it was seen that the flames were extending to No. 5, the upper room of the building, and the firemen accordingly changed the direction from which they were impelling continuous streams of water. Seeing that their previous efforts had been so ineffectual, and seeing also the necessity for a more commanding position for the hose, it was resolved to remove a por tion of the roof, and thus play upon the_ fire from the top of tha building. This was soon carried out, and the effect upon the fire was almost immediate. From that time the flames decreased, and the whole fire may be said to have been subdued by half-past nine o'clock. Immense quantities of smoke, however, still continued to issue from the rooms, and the engines will, probably, continue to play upon the embers during the whole of to-day. At six o'clock the fire was distinctly visible from the opposite side of the river, and its appearance at that distance was such as to cause much alarm and anxiety. The serious character of the fire, indeed, can scarcely be overrated, when it is remembered that 2,500 bales of cotton were in imminent danger of being burnt. As it is, however; the damage is by no means small, £4,000 being the lowest estimate, During the progress of the fire, several members of the 4th Lancashire Artillery Volunteers rendered great assistance, and exerted themselves in subduing the flames. Amongst the other gentlemen on the spot, who assisted in extinguishing the fire, were Major Grieg (who arrived soon after it was discovered), R. C. Janion, of the 'Northern Assurance Company ; Mr. Curtin, the surveyor of the: Royal Insufanee Company, and Mr. Boult, secretary of the Liverpool and London;' Mr. Kitchen, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Crain. We believe that the property'was insured in the Royal, and the Liverpool and London. One of the policemen, NO: 326; fell from the roof on to the floor of the first story, but fortunately escaped without much injury. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT;-YETLRDAY. (Before Mr. •CASTELLAIN.) A DISHONEST SERVANT. Mr. llaskayne, auctioneer, 37, Scotland-road, clinged a female, named Mary Kelly (a fictitious name), for having stolen a gold ring, value 355., out of his house. It appeared that the prisoner was a servant in the complainant's house, and that she obtained the place by giving a false name and a falso character. She referred to her own mother, who told Mrs. Haskayne that the prisoner had lived with her, and gave her a" gond' cliaracqr, *ithadt telling she was her mother. Some time ago the ring was missed—the Was not-sus pected at first ; but in consequence of something else being missed, she was taxed with stealing the ring,- and after some time she produced it. On inquiry, it turned ourthat she had stolen things from her former place.. She was sent for trial to the sessions. ' _ : . • IMPROPER HOUSE.• . • A female named Mary Anne Dixon was brought tip on a warrant, by Inspector Hough, on a 'eha,rge of keeping an. improper - tioUse- Dansfesstreet. Mr: Pluck dttentled the prisoner. It appeared thgt the prisoner was warned to leave the house, aspic neighbours had prpsented a rrientorial against it: : She :at first promised to go away, but slie subsequently defied the police. Two or three witnesses were examined and proved. to the.disorderly state in which the prisoner kept the house. An efficcr, in reply to Mr. Bluck, said the prisoner had remold her goods from the house. Mr. Bina said the object was to get rid of the nuisance, and the prisoner had removed her things, and would leave the house. The woman was remanded till Saturday in order to see whether the house would be given tip. SHOCKING PARENTS. Detective officer Patrick brought up a boy, named Jobrl Morrison, the son of a sawyer living in Trueman-street, charged with having stolen a flute, value 305., from Mrs. Clare's, London-road; a net from Mr. Dyson's,Tithebarn-street, and a parasol from the shop of Mr. Griffith, Lime-street. The The lad was an assistant to a paper -hanger, and had been working in the houses of the prosecutors, and whilst there he contrived to steal the articles in question. When the officer arrested him, he confessed having.taken the things, and stated where they were pledged for 10s. He said, in presence of his mother, that he might thank her and his father for it all, as they used to beat him, take he wages and spend it in drink, and turn him out in the streets viithi v mt food. The officer said he believed the boy's story to be' true, for the parents were very ibad indeed. He got the . : t,ickei" of the articks in the pocket of the prisoner's Mother .The property was identified, and the lad was pointed out .as -having pledged the articles. lie was remanded fOr the 'present. . (Befor'e PA RSER:) THE FiGH,TING SOCIETIES AGAIN. Mr; Edward Marki, tailor and draper, Browialow-hill, sum moned Mr. Timothy :proWley, of Great Newton-street, for having used vile, abominable, and abusive language towards him. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant, and Mr. Block for the defendant. Mr. Cobb Said the defendant was the president of the Victoria Burial Society, and the complainant was con nected with another society, and on the night of the 30th May, about ten o'clock, the complainant was at supper with his wife, when a knock was heard at the door. The wife opened the,door,..when the defendant presented himself, and used the grossest and most abominable language to her and to the com plainant, called him a receiver of stolen watches, an* wanted him out-to fight in the street. When the magistrates would haire heard the language used by' the defendant, they would judge what he deserved. Now, the only provocation that the complainant ever gave to Mr. Crowley was, that on one ore ision, when the defendant was looked up by the police, Mr. Marks bad the indiscretion to go. bail for him, and that was the only thing be ever did to annoy him: Mr. Cobb called Mr. Marks, who stated that when his wife opened the door the defendant used vile language to her ; and when he came out, Mr. Crowley called him a sanguinary Christ-killing Jew, and asked for stolen watches; he wanted him to go out into the street and fight, at the same time taking off his coat. He used the most horrible language, and threat ened him. Mr. Cobb Did you ever.give him any provocation for such conduct? Never, except at one time, when he was locked up by the police, and I was roused out of bed at three in the morning to bail him out of Bridewell. Mr. Bluck cross examined the witness, but did not alter the complexion of the case.. The complainant's wife was examined, and corroborated the statement, and said Mr. Crowley alleged her husband was a receiver of stolen property, and wanted one of them cheap. Mr. Bhp* addressed the bench on behalf of the defendant, and said if.-he could examine the defendant's wife she would alter the case. The defendant was fined Its. and costs. ILLEGAL WEIGHTS AND SCALES. • Inspectors Johnston and Jones summonedthe following per sons for having illegal weights and scales : -- Hart, butcher, St. John's Market, for illegal weights; fined ss. and costs. Thomas Dumphy, provision dealer, for a false scale, fined ss. and costs; and on a Second information for false weights, he was fined 10s. and costs. Hannah Lockwood, provision dealer, Bond-street, was charged for.having an illegal scale ; fined ss. and Mts. Daniel Clark, potato dealer, Pownall-square, was' charged for having a scale against the purchaser; fined ss, and costs. James Kelly, salt weigher, was charged for having twelve light weights Weighing salt on board a ship; fined 20s. and costs. Henry Cohen, grocer, 43, Brownlow-hill, was charged for having the selling scale against the purchaser. The defendant produced a witness to show the scale Was correct, hitt he was fined ss. and costs. Arthnr Nicholson, green grocer, Upper'Warwick-street, was charged for having selling scale against the buyer ; fined 10s. and costs. Wm. Grace, pro vision dealer, was summoned for having a penny on the bottom of the selling scale; fined 10s; mid costs. Mt. Thomas Dismore, silversmith, corner of .Church-street, was summoned for refusing to allow an inspection of certain weights in his pos session. Mr. Wybergh said Mr. Dismore had called at the court in the morning, and stated that he could not wait. He was under the impression that troy weights were exempt from inspection, but he had since found out his mistake, and was sorry for it. The magistrates fined bim ss. and costs in this case. SEAMENS' WAGES. William Nisbitt, a sailor, summoned Messrs. Stewart and Douglas for wages. There were 15 cases pending on the decision in this one. Mr. Husband was for the complainant, and Mr. Deighton, iastructed by Mr. Collin, for the defence. The case was like another that was decided on last Saturday. The points in dispute were that the men were insubordinate, and continued for a long time in wilful disobedience of orders, and therefore -had forfeited their wages. - Se'verarNicinesses were produced OR either side, and, at last the magistrates decided that only thirty days' 'wages were to be deducted from the men, and ordered them to be paid the balance. ARRIVAL OF TILE MISSING EDWARD, HAWKINS, ST.

GENERAL WILLIAMS AND UM OtrioEns PARTING WITR THE CITIZENS OF KARS. Painted by T. zones 'Barker Esq., K.L.H. Messrs. Agnew and Son have just placed for exhibi tion, in their Art Galleries, in the Liverpool and London Chambers, an admirable picture of a subject which, v ie these volunteering times,, should have an enthralling interest for the British public—the parting of General Williams and his staff of officers from the inhabitants of Kars, in which devoted city he had conducted such a heroic defence as to have commanded the honour and respect of the conquering General Mouravieff, who wrote, "That in admiration of the noble and devoted courage displayed by the army of Kars, the officers shall be allowed to retain their swords as a mark of honour and respect." The picture has been painted from the description of the scene given by Dr. Sandwitb, who was one of the sufferers in those trying vicissitudes. This description, as given kills diary, is in the follow ing words : "Early this morning the sounds of musketry aro heard in all parts of the camp. The soldiers are empty ing their muskets and piling arms. The people and the army have now learned that they are to capitulate ; the word teslim (capitulation) is in every mouth, and what a scene is this ! The poor staggering soldiers obey their orders mechanically, but some there are who dash their muskets to pieces against the rocks, exclaiming - , Thus perish our Pashas, and the curse of God be with them, may their mothers be outraged.' Some of the officers break their swords, and, caring' not who hears them, heap meets on the Sultan and the whole government of the Empire—awful werds which I had never heard oven whispered before. The citizens gather together in groups, exclaiming, ' God is great, and has it come to this ? How is Islam fallen! Yai, rat, (alas, alas,) and do my eyes behold it ? Would to God we had never been born ! Would to God we had died in battle ! for then bad we been translated to heaven, then had we been purified and acceptable. The Ghiaours are coming, and our arms drop from our hands ! God is God, and Mahomet is his prophet. How has the All-Merciful forsaken his children and delivered us up to be a prey to the spoiler !' Thus are the sounds of grief said indigna tion heard from each turbaned warrior, while woman's softer soul in woe dissolves aloud.' Let us draw a veil over this distressing scene ; scarce was there a dry eye that witnessed it, while grey-bearded soldiers sobbed aloud. In the midst of these lamentations, General Williams rode through the camp. At once the citizens crowded round him, kissing his stirrups and praying for blessings on his head. Nere'ye, nere'ye, (Where, where, are you going, Pasha ?)' they asked. am a prisoner,' he answered.

He has written a testimony to Mr. Barker's success in this respect : . . • • ' "April 20,'1857. "My dear Mr. Barker ' congratulate you on your Kars Picture, which is truly admirable.

It may be observed that Miss Aylward has not confessed where the child is, nor given any clue as to its place of concealment. A GRAVE QUESTION OF ETIQUETTE. Sir John Crampton, (known as Mr. Crampton) the British Minister at St. Petersburg, married that charming young person and enchanting singer, Miss Balfe, daughter of the talented composer of that name. A momentous question is raised upon that in court circle's in St., Petersburg! The Russians are aghast at the idea of a singer having precedence of the ladies of the whole foreign Corps Diplonuxtive, twrethei with the entree to the palace. They cannot see how the daughter of a musical composer, the leader of the orchestra of the Opera House, (herself a public singer moreover,) can worthily represent the Majesty of Eneland • They say "it is true a noble Earl married England'. actress, Miss Farren ; the late Earl of Essex, Miss Stephens, the singer; the late Duke of St. Albans, an actress, Miss Mellon ; the late earl of Harrington, an actress, Miss Foote ; the late Earl Craven, an actress, Miss Brunton, &e., but none of these noblemen were ambassadors or other representatives of British Sovereigns." INFANTICIDE BY A YOUNG LADY.—Miss Sarah Ann Tyre, daughter of Mr. Thomas Tyre, of the Deepfield Ironworks, Coseley, Dudley, is in custody on the charge of murdering her child. She is an interesting g,irl, about eighteen years of age, and has not long returned from a boarding school. She had been suspected and accused of being enceinte, but she denied it. On Wed nesday morning a woman, who was taking her husband's breakfast, happened to go into a privy at the hack of the residence of Mr. Tyre's, and she saw that bl oo d h a d r ecently fallen on the floor, and .had been dried u. Procuring a match and candle, she discovered the body of the child, which was taken out and found to have been ill used. There' were marks which excited - the suspicion that the head of the child had been dashed against a wall. SUbsequently an afterbirth 'was found in a garden, in a part to which there was no road, and, as there were no footprints, it was concluded that the afterbirth had been'thrown over the wall. Miss Tyre herself was amongst the crowd which gathered when the discovery was made, but when the police went to the house she was in bed. She said something had been the matter with her, but she did not know what. As she was too ill to be removed, she remains at home in charge of the police. _ HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINIMENT.—In angry or indolent sores, and all skin diseases originating in impure or weak blood, or depraved secretions, the joint agency of Holloway's Fills and Ointment is perfectly irresistible. It is of little con sequence how long thise disorders may have lasted, or how sluggish, obstinate, or malignant they may seem, the daily application of the Ointment to the parts affected, and a course of these matchless rills, will most certainly effect a cure, not temporary or superficial, but complete and permanent. Bath the Ointment and Fills are. composed of rare balsams, unmixed with mercury or any other deleterious substance. They` are, accord . ingly, as mild and safe as they are powerful ant efficacious.

It appeared that MiSsfNottidge died at the " Agape mone," near Bridewater, of which . Mr. Prince is the head;. she joined the Agapemone . in- 1848, just after she had been released by order of the fonacy commis ; sioners from the private asylum of Dr. Stillwell. Mr. prince,' a Clergyman of the Church of England, was 61)1 . 1+4 of his license by the biihop . of the diocese. Mr. Prince. Mill - tined at Brighton till May, 1845, and the Misses Nottidge went to Tauirtos,' where they met him and soml i of his followers ; and while at Taunton, in June, 1845, Mr. Prince sent for three of the Misses Nottidge separately, add informedd - them that it was the will of God and that it would give great glory to God if they married three of his followers, namely,. brother Price, brother Thomas, and brother Cobb's. Upon Miss Agnes Nottidge, who was thus orde:ed to marry brother Thomas, objecting to marry him before a settle ment had been- made providing for any family she might 'have, Mr. Prince immediately replied . that there Would be, no need of anything of that kind, that it would not be in accordance with her present calling, and that her marriage 'would be purely spiritual, to carry out the purpose of God. Prince then informed them that it was the will of God that they should be married at Sw4nsea in a few days,' and upon their objecting that it., would cause great sorrow to their mother if they married Without first goinp; to see her, Prince told them that they must not be influenced 'by such, feelings, and that if they 'read the Book of Jonah they would learn the result of acting contrary to God's . command. The three marriages took place shortly afterwards —in July, 1845—at Swansea. z From Swan sea Prince rcmoved• to Weymouth, and thence to the Agapemone. ' A•considerable amount of evidence. was adduced on both sides as to the state of mind of Miss Nottidgi, and of the circumstances nuclei which she made the transfer to Mr. Prince. .. • The followingletter was read by Mr. Malins Windsor-terrace, Brighton, June 21, 1843: My very dear Agnes,-- , lt gave me pleasure by a letter ftom dear Brother Cobbs to learn that he bad seen you off safely by the mail on Thursday Morning. By this time you are either with, the beloved 13retlier Williams, or else with the dear Sister Mabel. I know their love in Jesus, and that' they will do everything' to render your sojourn in Swansea good for you; but I know something more, 1 know the boundless love of Jesus, ht will be with you, for his eye is on you, and whatever is good, that he will bestow, whether it be joy or sorrow, ease or trial, comfort or difficulty, 'all things are yours, for you are Christ's, and Christ's is God's. Let not your heart be troubled under your present circumstances, neither let. it be afraid Of what friends or foes may suggest. Abide in the spirit and will of God; then yotir peace be like a river, wide and overflow ing, and your soul still be sweetly borne along the stream of time until it reach the ocean of eternal love and rest. What I say unto you, I say also unto. your sisters Harriet and Clara. Assure them of my love, and let them trost themselves to be carried by faith in the arms of Jesus, whithersocrer he will—not whithcrsoever they will---and they and you will find he will do you good at your latter end. My beloved Agnes, I must write to you just•what the Spirit leads me to do. This Ido with the more confidence because I believe you have an ear to hear what the tatfrd may say unto yow through him that loveth you. You mentioned your desire to hare a settlement of your property upon yourself. This I assured you would be very agreeable to my feelings, and is so still; but last evening, waiting on God, this matter unexpectedly was brought before me. I had entirely put it .away from my thoughts; leaving it to take its course as you might be led to act, but God will not have it so. He shows me that the principle is entirely eoninry to God's Word, and altogether at valiance with that confideriC.: which is to exist between us, who are one spirit. This desire on your part must be abandoned, Give it up to God, and show that you can trust hii faithfulness, and I can assure you - repose in Jinn will net. bo disappointed. I 'know God ? and I knoW that none wild-trust in him shall ever, eon ever be con, .• founded. He that hath an ear to heat- let him hear. Ai regards the. prquayoui re,ade your parents, I would merely say that any irrefrilifi Ma - de when 'you were Unconverted, and which was not in accordance with the Word of God, you are .not bound to,,ne#her would it be right in you to !Adhere to.. I must bid you farewell, and believe me to 'abide, in much love, " Yours affectionately in the everlasting covenant, • - " BROTHER THOMAS." Ac;coidingly no settlement was made. Mr. Malins, Q.C., and Mr. Wigram submitted flint the transfer to Mr. Prince was made by . Misi Nottidge when she was under his spiritual influence, and labour- inn under such delusions that he was God Almighty, or that the spirit of :God dwelt in his body, as amounted to insanity, and contended that the court could not under such circumstances uphold the gift to Mr. Prince. Mr. Bacon, Q.C : , '(With him Mr. Smale) for Mr. Trince, submitted that if there was spirituarinfluence, it was of such a general nature that the transfer.by Miss Nottidge could net be: attributed to it, and that the spiritual infatence alleged to havubeen exercised by Mr. Prince over his followers was not greater than that exercised by the Roman Catholic priesthood, and exercised over the followers of < many other religious sects. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., had only just commenced the defence when the court rose. - • - .• • • . • - TAME S' S T'oE A-R-T 7 A-N D--C o'. l .....
