DOCK COMMITTEE t" ......: `-._= a, The usual weekly meeting of this committee was held at one o'clock yesterday. Mr. Charles Turner in the chair. The other members present were—Messrs. Brocklebank, Robinson, Evans, Gregson, ehaloner, Rounthwaite, Mann, Barber, Mondell, Anderson, Lockett, Hubback, Bold, Rathbone, Rankin, and Smith. It Was agreed that the offer of Messrs. Haigh and C o., should be received for a supply of Dantzic timber; RISO the offer of Messrs. Cato, Miller, and Co., to provide a Il ea' anchor stock, and effect repairs in the Bell Beacon, and the offer of Messrs. Jones and Turnbull, to re-bush the Bell. In the Harbour Masters' department, a plan etas sub mitted for a shed, as a wrecked depot, 130 feet by 75, to h e Placed on the east quay of the Sandon Dock. Mr. Rathbone said, the more he heard of the plan or ` d oable sheds, the more he approved of it. He could not sec ance WhY . a double shed could not be m a d e in this Mr. Lockett said this was to be made a double shed. It was recommended and agreed to, that £6O should be - wed to Mr. H o d gso n, th e sen i or h ar b our mas t e r, to tover the expense of removing into the new residence P r ovided for him. in the George's Dock passage. A memorial was received' from a large number mast er - shipwrights, stating that many shipwrights belt . Vreimentiv engaged on ships in the Prince's and Clarenc . , braving docks, and having to put ships and s . teamersin arter working hours, found much inconvenience f r om the grid-masters residing at a distance, sometimes not known, from the docks, and suggested the advantage of the masters having house, in the immediate vicinity: The memorial was referred to the harbour masters, aniP , m emorial was also read from the p r i nc i pa l master wr ights of the port, e xpr ess i ng extreme surprise and I :. o egrt th at , after their continued and urgent applications I r increased graving dock accommodation, they had been answered by the statement that there were no funds for that purpose; £16,000 had been voted at the pre lions meeting, f or t h e b u il ding of sheds on the quays o f 'bone of the wet docks. The writers _stated : coat they (lid not wish in the slightest degree to -di s p arage t h e Pare ttltt o f this improvement, but they urged that, cone d with the necessity for addliional graving dock acc ommodation, its import ance was b ut secondary. ,The l()Poling of the private graving d oc k s a t ti r k en h aad, the I:oettiorial added, ;tad scarcely had any perceptible effect *, l i e t se ning t'ne increasing pressure; and vesse l s i n port oth ers ee n. waiting nea r ly th ree wee k s f or a b erth, while ha 'whose rep a i rs were o f a l ess urgent character, "....ad t o proceed to sea. . r Barber said, the information he had received with r egard to the Birkenhead docks, was of a very different eharacter for, in one es t a bli s h ment, he believed that 20 vess els had been accommodated during the month of etobe r . So far from having heard that there was that h e e ne pressure in th e i r own d ocks, only the other day intheard of a ve sse l com i ng ronnd from London, getting ° esta t he graving d oc k, an d go i ng away next day. If one bli i )ei . silo:lent could accom mo d a t e twenty, vessels, and, he leved, provide for still more if there were others to g° in, be did not see how there could exist the extreme Pressure 'which had been represented. d a t a Chairman : I do not think the want of accommo can well he disputed. The difficulty is in the rEnt ittee dealing with it. Of course the master ship. 'lizhts can hardly expect that e v er y o th er accommoda „l'M in th e docks should be postponed. We have really Means at our disposal. The money for these sheds, , r ," Yllell were informed last w ee k, must b e b orrowe d i n 14 r e shape or oth er . All our f un d s are disposed of, and N th .e than disposed of. The works in progress, for le h the m one y h as b een a ll owed by Parliament, will ore than cover the whole of the funds we have. thk.r. Br oc kl e b an k thought it was possible some part of tl t ' u nds might be app ropr i ate d to enlarge the graving 1 1) „ . " 8 , or make oth ers , w i t h greater advantage than the ) 31 , - ",e9 expended now in ma ki ng s h eds for some particu be ?VI, es. The memorial, signed as it Was, ought'not to tak e ghtly passed over ; but th e y s h ou ld endeavour to the some practical steps, if they possibly could, to remedy e t u great an d grow i ng want. If they looked at the y ear es of shippin g t o th a t port t h ey would see that that fa,,',fast 11,000 tons ov er th a t o f t h e year previous. So akaTe gravin g dock ac commo d at i on h a d remained at . 1 1 1 3' the same point. e Chairman said not exactly the same—there w ere graving block s or d ere d . B rocklebank said the blocks might accommodate r e „ ves where merely looking at their bottoms was iti l , tllr ed, hut not for any essential repairs. It was 4_utlibent upon the committee to take into their con 411eaat.ion very seriously the great want of such acconi lba'qt ,!on. It was right for the memorialists to know 11 01 t he plans brought before the committee by Mr. 4 4d il le, involved the taking away of two most important 'ar ly p „ us graving eful docks, and sho u ld these pi.ng ht. 4 . 0 itur,.., period carried out, in a ll p ro b a bili ty t h is i ne lt id be done before the committee could give to the great v ia s te ase of s hi pping in the port such accommodation as tiritabsoliviely necessary for it. He did not thi n k th e Po-,. -mead. docks were going to be very useful to the ki-•;;; "n 1 the enquiries he had made.

Mr. i.ereeklebank concluded by moving that theuestion be Batt q . r ed to th e committee of works to take the whole vti e lP . into consideration, and report whether some steps accoml no t b e ta k en f or the purpose of giving the 1t ° .? 113 . °datio n: 4 Rehback seconded the motion. th e r• troekleb3nk remarked that a shipowner told him uv et Zther day that he had been waiting nearly three Nt Bt o get his vessel into the graving dock, and had not ,_eeed ed Alt • ke ue • Bold suggested, that the corporation should . be k r s ted to make graving docks on the Birkenhead side. °tick „.

THE OVERLAND MAIL. I The Overland mail, via Marseilles, has brought advices of the following dates :—Calcutta to Sept. I 22; Bombay, Oct. 3 ; Hong Kong, Sept. 12; Shang hai, Sept. 14 ; Canton, Sept. 10 ; Ceylon, Sept. 17; Mauritus, Aug. 27. INDIA. The Bombeiq Times says—With the exception of of the continuance of the arrangements for the Persian Gulf expedition i which is ,not expected ever to quit our harbour, and some light skirmish ing on the l'eshawur frontier, we have no event to report. In the northern Conran *e are now in the midst of squalls which close up the rainy season. Through India generally the supply seems to have been abundant. In some parts of the Punjab and Sinde, as well as in the upper portion of the Gangetic Delta, the inundations appear to have been disastrous. Upon the whole, the fair season opens upon US auspiciously. The Four7and-a-Half per Cent: loan has hitherto proved a failure, about 2,0004 haying been subscribed, where five millions were required.. Half a per cent or more must be given before what is wanted can be obtained. A flying camp of exercise has been established in the Eusufzale country, on the Peshawur frontier, under command of Brigadier Cotton. It consists of her Majesty's 87th, the -21st and 51st N.L, two squadrons of the sth Light Cavalry, a squadron of the 7th Irregu lars; Sappers and Miners, and some guns. The Governor-General retrains at Calcutta, and it is stated that the Court of Directors have finally decided that unless urgent affairs require his presence in the interior, the expense of travelling should be avoided. The money market had become more sett'ed. Government and other securities languid. Freights remain firm. Arrangements for the despatch of the Persian Gulf expedition continue to go vigorously forward, though few believe that it will ever sail. About 18,000 tons of shipping have in all been taken up, and are now in full pay at 11. per ton for a month. The arrangements seem suited for about five thousand men, and the 'regiments and com manding officers, expected a few days hence to be under orders, are already freely mentioned. Briga dier Gen. Stalker takes command ; Major Pope or Capt. Gordon proceeds at the head of the commis sariat; Major Barr, who accompanies his corps (2nd Europeans), acts as paymaster; Dr. Mackenzie becomes head of the me Heal department, The Feroze, steamer, which, together with the Berenice and Hugh Lindsay, had been telegraphed round from Calcutta, left this on the 19th ult., with officers of the Quartermaster-General's and com missariat departments, to make arrangements for the arrival of the troops. The impression appears to be that the occasion of the Shah's violation of the treaty of 1853, which bound him not to inter fere with the affairs of Affghanistan, or to threaten Herat, will be taken advantage of for our permanent establishment somewhere in the Gulf. The con duct of Persia during the past thirty years fUlly warrants any visitation we can inflict upon her, and it is simply for us to determine whether a detached settlement, so fir remote from our own frontier, be • worth the trouble of acquisition and cost of maintenance CHINA The English mail, of July 10, reached Hong- Kong August 25. The Lancefield, from Calcutta, arrived with intelligence from London of July 25, just as the homeward mail left. The great floods over the country bordering the Canton river have subsided. Canton imperialists admit that their forces have sustained serious and repeated defeats by the rebels in the adjoining province of Kwang-si, and reinforcements were being sent daily. In the Canton estuary a yellow flag has appeared, with the characters " Tai-ping-teen-kwoh" (the flag of the Tai-ping dynasty.) The vessels bearing it were served by the police with a notice to quit Hong-Kong. The British merchants at Shanghai had petitioned Sir John Bowring to help to abolish the system of foreign inspectorships at the Chinese custom-house there. The North China Herald, of August 16, thus sums up the present position in China : Three points appear to he eßt.l , lidied by a variety of concur. rent testimony. 1, That over a region, equal in extent and population to some of the most powerful states of Europe, the people have discarded the Manchu costume, and reverted to that of the Ming dynasty. 2, In a portion, if not the whole, of that extensive territory, the people pay taxes for the support of the Nanking government ; and 3, That, .by the establishment of examinations, they have the privilege of competing for lite• rary honours and civil office. Whence - it is obvious that the revolutionists are, and have a right to be, regarded as a govern ment de facto. In its administration the military code no dotibt predominates. but there are already distinct traces of a civil organisation ; and having existed for more than three years, from the time it planted itself in the capitals of Kiang-su, Anhwny, and Hoopih, as an organised resistance of the Chinese to the Manchu sovereignty; and having, too, in the meantime, greatly extended its bounderies and consolidated its strength, if the way of access , to its capital were not blockaded by an imperial squadron, we might even now acknOwledge its in dependence, without violating neutrality, or• transgressing the limits of historical precedent. The land force besieging Chin•kiang has of late been almost annihilated. General Hiang has been compelled to retire from Nanking, and if the insurgents could only succeed in expelling their anta gonists from the waters of the Yang•tse, or in working their way to the sea-coast by some other route, foreign trade would find a freer vent than it would be possible to provide by any other expedient, and a magnificent field would bo thrown open to commercial and diplomatic enter- COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE BOMBAY, Oct. 3.—The overland mail frt.m London of the 26th August reached Bombay on the night of the 18th Sep tember, per Peninsular and Oriental steamer Cadiz, in the unprecedentedly short period of twenty-two days and twenty _ on( hoots. Since last report our money'market has become more settled, and money for legitimate purposes can be obtained in abundance on easy terms, but as produce may now be expected to arrive from up country in large. quantities, money will be more in demand, and we do not therefore anticipate lower rates of•interest to prevail at the banks, viz. fi ern four to six per cent. The amount paid into the New Four an'd a Half per Cent, loan is so trifling, that it may be now con sidered a nonentity, and if government are really in want of funds, there can be very little doubt but that a Five per Cent, loan must be opened. Government and other securities aro quoted a shade lower than by last mail. In the course of the next week, our rainy season will probably be over, and traffic along the coast and elsewhere will then be fully opened. Cotton Piece Goods: During the past three weeks the market has been steady, and business has been done to a considerable extent, holders freely meeting all demands. Freights have been steady, and kept firm, owing to frequent reports of government requiring tonnage for transport to the Persian Gulf. For present shipment to London and Liverpool we quote £2 lOs per ton ; to China, dull at 7 rs to 8 rs per candy. Exchange: A good amount of business has been done for this steamer, at rates varying from 2s 11,d to 2s Calcutta, 60 clays' sight, 99 rs ; Madras, 30 days' sight, 993 rs ; China, 60 days' sight, 2274 re. CALCUTTA, Sept22.—The London mails of 10th ult were delivered on 16th inst, and on the 19th inst the electric tele graph from Bombay put us in possession of London advices to the 26th ult. The commercial intelligence is not of such a nature as to cause a reaction in our produce market, which has continued without animation since the despatch of the last mail, and with perhaps one or two exceptions our staple articles have attracted little attention. Raw silk has again been dealt in largely, and we are at present bare of stocks. In silk piece goods hardly anything has been done worthy of note. Sugar in but moderate demand, at declining prices. Saltpetre in general demand. Jute has only been bought by the balers to fulfil their contracts. Oil seeds in less request, and value lower. Of rice, table sorts have not undergone any alteration, but the extensive demand for Ballum and Moonghy has reduced stocks considerably and enhanced the value All other articles continue in much the same position as at the date of our last report. In our import market no alterations of any consequence have taken place. The operations during the past fortnight have been satisfactory. Money Market : The position of this . market has rema i ned as satisfactory as could b e washed. While money is abundant and the market is almost in a glutted state, so much so that capitalists are at a loss to find employment for their funds, and are willing to operate on most moderato terms, the loan subscriptions.attracts no su , criptions, Exchange : On London. During tho past fortnight our market has not presented any new feature. The supply of paper has continued on a moderate scale, and j ust k ept pace with the demand, quotations remaining unchanged, i.e., for first class credits 2 to buy, and 2 Ig. per rupee to sell, and for document paper 2 1 to 2 1- per rupee. For some choic e p aper o f t h e latter description 2 I T , was paid, but this is a n extreme quotat i on . The American houses here have been and are very much inconvenienced by the non arrival of the United States mails by the last two steamers, and con sequent l y the non-receipt of the letters o f cre d it which were to suppl y f en d s for the purchase of cargoes yet to h o l a d en . It is surmised that some alteration in tho regulations as to payment of postage has caused this irregularity. Frei9hts With numerous ar r i va l s f rom different parts of the world and with little inducement to shippers to Great Britain, the rates to England have not experienced any material reduction, and the engagements of tonnage during the fortnight under review have been on the whole very moderate.

STITT ME CHARGE, or Bustemv.--Henry Holland was brought up on remand, charged with bigamy. There was a full report of this strange case in our paper of this day Week. .When the prisoner was put to the bar, Mr. Clough asked the officer who had him in charge, if he had been able to find the second wife? and he replied he had not, as she kept out of the way, in order not to give evidence. The evidence, therefore, being incom plete, the prisoner was discharged. He gave one jump out of the dock, and was immediately surrounded by a number of women, who left the court with him, apparently much pleased. • AN " ARTFUL bonnE."—Ed ward Goulding, a sailor, charged his mother_in-law, and another woman, with having obtained £l2 7s 6d from the firm of Hatton and Cookson by means of false representations. It appeared that, in November, 1855, the complainant went out in one of the ships belonging to the above firm; he left his Vvife behind, who was to draw £1 7s 61 a month, half his wages. She was not, however, to commence drawing until January of this year. She died in December, and her mother (one of the prisoners) having got her marriage certificate and other documents, employed the other prisoner to personate the deceased at Messrs. Hatton and Cookson's, which she did successfully up to the 14th of October in the present year, and got the above sum altogether, representing herself as the wife of Goulding. The poor fellow came home on the 15th, and ' found he had been done. The prisoners kept out of the way until Wednesday night, when detective Horne arrested them. They admitted the facts, and were remanded-for further examination. • (BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD BAD Fisn.—Catherine Siddell, the keeper of a stall in St. John's Fish Market, was summoned by Inspector Tyrrell, with having 22 lbs of unwholesome lobsters exposed for sale. The defendant was fined £2. CHARGE OF CRIMINAL ASSAULT.—WiIIiam O'Kell, described as a cowkeeper, living at Rathbone street, was charged with having attempted to commit a criminal assault on his servant, a girl named Anne Kirwan. The hearing of the case was postponed to this day, as Mr. Bretherton, the defendant's attorney, was absent. VIOLENT ASSAULT.—John Brenan was charged with having violently assaulted a Mrs. Ainsworth, who resides in Chisenhale-street. Mr. Bluck defended. The prisoner was drunk and went to complainant's house to obtain some money that she owed him, but she not having it at the instant, he struck her several vio'ent blows on the head, and blackened her eyes. Mr. Bluck spoke in mitigation of punishment, and the prisoner was fined £2. rßy one of those unaccountable mistakes that some times happen in transcribing notes, it was stated in our impression of yesterday, that Alexander Hart, mate of the ship Ferozepore, was fined for an assault on a female named Jennet Douglas. It should have been that he was discharged, as the case was not proved. Curious enough, on looking at our cotemporaries, the same mistake is observable.] BIRKENHEAD BLFORE THE REVS. FIELDBN AND COXON, MR. BARTON, AND JACKSON CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES.— A girl, who gave her name as Maria Myers, was charged with obtaining the sum of Bs. under the following circum stances :—On the night of the 18th inst., a sailor boy was in a stupid state of intoxication at the public-house kept by Mr. Herdman, in Chester-street, in company with a female. He there gave Miss Herdman all the motley ho had iu his possession, for her to take care of, saying that he would call for it on the morrow. He then left the house for the purpose of proceeding home to Liverpool ; but in that be was disappointed, for that vigilant and efficient officer, No. 12, seeing that he was "too far gone" to walk, much less cross the water, took him into custody, and locked him up for safety. This was, no doubt, very proper. After being locked up until he became sober, he was taken before the magistrates, and was discharged. But during this Limo tho defendant, who was in the house at the time the money was handed ever to Miss lierdman for safety, called and stated that the sailor boy had been before the magistrates, and had been fitted si. and the costs, and unless she gave her the money he would be imprisoned. In consequence of this representation, Miss Herdman gave the girl the Bs., which she appropriated to her own use. It was proved that the sailor boy was not fined, and that the money had never been paid by the defendant, and she was, therefore, ordered by the court to be remanded for the present.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY, WITH VIOLENCE.— On Wednesday evening last, at about nine o'clock. as Mr. Thomas Stanger, eldest*son of Mr. Stanger, grocer, High street, Maidstone, was proceeding towards the town, through Vinter's Park, accompanied by a young female friend, when near a bridge which crosses a small rivulet, three men suddenly rushed upon him, and one of them, striking him a violent blow on the mouth, knocked him insensible to the ground. They immediately commenced unbuttoning his greatcoat, with a view, no doubt, of pos sessing themselves of his watch, and other property which he had about him. The young lady, however, raised an alarm which fortunately attracted attention, and the robbers, on hearing footsteps approaching, made off with considerable speed, without having effected their object. It is believed that these were the same men who assaulted Mr. Boakes last week, between the college oast-house and the almshouses. The police are making active inquiries. —South, Eastern Gazette- PRIZE FUND FOR THE SOCIETY OF ARTS' EXAMINATIONS. —Lord Goder;ch, M.P., has sent ten guineas towards the prize fund for the examinations of the Society of Arts for the north of England, to be conducted next spring at Huddersfield. In the letter his lordship says :—" I learn with much pleasnre that it is the intention of the Society of Arts to bring their valuable examinations home to our doors in the north of England, and especially that their next examination is to be held at Huddersfield, in con nection with the annual meeting of the Yorkshire Union. I shall be most happy to co-operate in any way in my power in so useful a work. I have written by this post to Mr. Denison, and sent him a cheque for ten guineas, as my subscription to the prize fund, and I trust that the amount raised for this purpose in Yorkshire may be worthy alike of our county and of the important object to which the fund is to be dedicated."—Leec/3 Mercury.

Yesterday an unusual amount of' interest was manly fested at the Police Court, Birkenhead, which *as attended by a large number of persons anxious to hear the case in which Mr. John Clare, jun., appeared as the complainant, and Mr. Robt. Hetherington, John Cropper, all employee s c o nnec t e d w ith th e w W er h e ite ;l:e defend ants. The magistrates on and Joseph .! r es e e r p ry h ; the bench were—qessrs. Barton and Jackson, and the Revs. Fielden and Coxon. The defendants were stnntnotted for having used violent and threatening language towards Mr. John Clare, jun., on the 25th jest., with intent to provoke a breach of the peace. The complainant, Mr. Clare. on being sworn, said : On last Saturday I left the Landing-stage by the half-past four o'clock boat, for Rock Ferry. When the boat, the Star, was about two-thirds across the Mersey, one of the Rock Ferry boatmen (Cropper), who belongs to the Bee, came aft to me while I was sitting on the companion way, with my wife on one &de and my son on the other, and said to me, "Mr. Clare, you are no gentleman to be writing about poor men in the newspapers." I said to him, "Go forward, you are in liquor. He then came and sat himself down by my side, and was very impudent to me for some time, I repeatedly told him to go forward. He was very saucy to me, and made use of some kind of threats to me. The Bench : Let us know what those threats were. Mr. Clare : He said he would let me know about it, or some thing to that. effect. He then went between the paddle boxes, and was chewing some apples. When I got along side of the ship I called his attention to what he had done, and said I wished to bring his conduct before Mr. Hertherington. I wish, gentlemen, you to bear in mind that this man did not belong to the Star, but to the Bee boat. The Bench: Who is Mr. Hetherington? Is he the proprietor or the manager of the ferry. Mr. Clare : It is that man who sits there (pointing to Mr. Hetheriugton) ; as I was going up the slip, Cropper made some kind of a remark to the man White, but I did not hear what it was. White was standing at the gangway with an ash plant in his hand, and he held up the stick in a threateninu way, and sung out " I will g ive him Home, S wee t H ome. " (L aughter.) I walked up th slip, Cropper following me. and when I got to the 04, which was lying about halt-way up, high and dry, I went on board, presuming that Mr. Hetherington, who calls himself a man, was there. Mr. Bretherton: lie is a man, I suppose. Mr. Clare Ile Calls himself a man. When I went on board, I said to him, " I have a com plaint to make against this man" (Cropper.) When he called out to me—" Aye, come on board, I want to see you." Mr. Bretherton : I thOtight You said just now, that you were - on board the Bee. Mr. Clare : Well, what matter, I was going on board. Mr. Bretherton: It does matter, and I wish you would speak plain, and give up the nautical. (Laughter.) Mr. Clare: He then said to me, "you are a liar, and I will let you see, if you write about my business." When those epethets came out of his mouth, I . said—" Not another word from you—not another word from you.'' I then walked up the slip, Hetherington and Cropper followed me, and made use of .some. threats behind my back. I did• not say another word. The Bench: What were the threats he used? Mr. Clare: He said he would kick me off the slip. When those words came out of his mouth, I turned round and dared him to do it. fie repeated these threats several times, and then I went away and left him. When I was going through the pay-gate, he followed me and again threatened to kick me off the slip, when I told him I would give him the opportunity if he liked to do it. The Bench: Is that all ? Mr. Clare : It is ; and I now ask Mr. Hetherington what it was all for ? Cross examined by Mr. Bretherton, who appeared to conduct the case for the defendants— You regularly use this ferry ? I do, sir. Now, I ask you, are you the author of this letter? I shall not answer it; it has nothing to do with the question. It is not to the point. I will appeal to the bench. Mr. Bretherton : Will you answer my question, sir? Are you the author of this letter ? Mr. Clare: What letter, sir ? Read it, and then I shall know what it is. Mr. Bretherton then read the following letter : UNADJUSTED COMPASSES ON BOARD PERRY AND OTHER STEAMERS To the Editor of the Northern Time Sir,—This morning being very foggy on the Mersey, in crossing, my: attention was called to the compass; to quote the captain's reply, it was of "no use." Now sir, as security-to life is a point the marine department of the Board of Trade profess to protect, may I ask the question, for the good of the public, if ferry and other steamers are entitlechto a passenger certificate with defective compasses, and inefficient water-tight bulk Your insertion of this communication will only Je a confirmation that your disiaterested untrammeled journal is open to expose public abuses, and protect thereby public interest, and, by that rule, you only carry out your duty to that part of her Britannic Majesty's subjects you derive support from.—Yours, &c., JOHN CLARE, Jun., 23, Exchange-buildings, by the Underwriters' Rooms. Llverpool, Oct. 22, 1856. Mr. Clare : It is my writing. - not that letter refer to Mr. Hetheringtnn':. Clare: No more than to other boats on the river. _ on board the boat on the foggy morning. I did address some observations to one of the men about the compasses. I went to look at the compasses, to see if they were out, and the mau(Sparks) .said to me, If we had trusted to those compasses, we should never have got to Liverpool."' I never interfered with the boats, except when they are in bad time. I have rung the bell for the passengers when the boat has been five minutes after the time. I called out " Ship a-head" on that day. I did not call out "Stop her." I called out " Ship a-head" two or three times, because there was one exactly in her track. I did not say . that the rudder was wrong, and then laugh at her passen gers. When I told the man to go away, he was in liquor —I know he was so, because I could both see it and smell. it. I did not say to Hetherington, "If you do not turn that man Cropper off, I will mark you for it." He; did not tell me to mind my own business. [Here the witness. assumed a very rough voice, which caused Mr. Rretherton to request him not to play the nautical in a court of jus tice, but to speak plain.] Mr. Bretherton : You have said that Mr. Hetherington told you that he would kick you off the slip ; Now, I ask . you, did he not say that if it was . not for the law he would kick you off the slip ? Mr. Clare Perhaps he did. Mr. Bretherton : Were not those his words ? Mr. Clare : Yes, they were. retherton: Why did you not state that fact on your first examination ? Mr. Clare : Fact, sir, fact ; why, d---- it, didn't I state the fact. (Laughter.) Mr. Brether ten : I am surprised to hear you swear while in the witness box. How come you to forget that fact? 'Mr. Clare': It is as broad as .it is long—l admit that he did quarrel. Mr. Bretherton : Did 3 boats ? Mr. I was Isay, that if it was not for the law he would kick me off the slip. Ido not think that the man White ever spoke, to me. I did not hear what he said to Cropper, as I was a few yards from them. I presume that the observations were addressed to me. I think he alluded to me. I have interferred and spoke to the men. I have conversed with the cockle women on the boat, and have given them money. The conversation has never been so indecent that respectable females have had to leave that part of the boat. I have never told the men that I was going to make a claim of £50,000 on the Canard Company, because they had adopted my plans, and that I was only waiting until they had made another trip or two, that they might have the money by them. I never told them that I had a claim on the goverment for my gun-boats. All that is fudge— stuff—nonsense. I will not swear that that letter does not refer to the Rock Ferry boats in particular. The Bench : Have you any witnesses ? ➢lr. Clare : Yes, Captain Richardson 's son was standing by my side, and I will call him. Mr. Charles Richardson was then examined. He said: I was on board the boat, but I did not hear what question it was that Cropper put to Mr. Clare. I heard Mr. Clare tell him to go forward, as he was in drink. He certainly had had Rome drink, but was fit to perform his duty. I heard Cropper say that he had as much right there as he had, and after some conversation, Mr. Clare said he would knock him overboard, or do some personal injury. Cropper said that he felt grateful to think that he could not do so, and then left him. I did not hear any further conversation. By the Bench : I think Cropper behaved very civil. When Mr. Clare went to Mr. Hetherington to complain of Cropper, I heard Mr. Hetherington say to him, "I want you, and I will prove tat you are a liar." I did not hear any angry words pass between them. I did not see White do anything whatever. If there had been any such conversation as Mr. Clare has stated, I think I must have heard it, as I heard all except the first question. I did not see Cropper behave with impudence—he was not saucy. I have seen Mr. Clare ring the bell. The boat waiting for a minute or two for persons who have passed the pay-gate is a great accommodation. This concluded the complainant's case. Mr. Bretherton then addressed the bench on behalf of the defendants. He contended that there was not a tittle of evidence against White or Cropper, and with regard to the other defendant, it was impossible they could reconcile the evidence of Mr. Clare with the evi-. dence of Mr. Richardson, and he thought that, as the latter was a perfectly independent witness, that his version of the affair was more to be relied on than that given by Mr. Clare. He then, at. considersble" length and with much ingenuity, pointed out the discrepancies in the two statements, and concluded by earnestly calling on the bench to dismiss the case. In the course of the address, Mr. Bretherton was repeatedly cheered, and at the con clusion received the applause of the whole court. The magistrates consulted for about a minute, when the Chairman said--" Oh, the bench dismiss the case.' The parties who had assembled then left the court. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH- WESTERN RAILWAY. TION OF' THE MAIL. ,ordon mail train, due here at four o'clock, diil not , _ ... arrive until past six yesterday morning, and much anxiety urevailt.d as to the cause, it being feared that samething serious had taken place. We have since ascertained the cause of t?el,ty, and are happy to state that nothing of an alarmingcharacter h a d h appene d . I t appears th a t, near O verton, some coal wag gons got off the lice, but there was no one hurt. Proper precautions were at once adopted to stop the mail train that was coming down, and, fortunately, the efforts were successful. The detention of the train, until the line was cleared, of course, became necessary, and this accounts for the delay in the arrival. Lord Ernest Vane Tempest has, says the Brighton Gazette, behaved in a very liberal manner towards the poor woman who was accideetally knocked down by his drag on the Lewes Road, some time since. It is said that ever since the accident his lordship has allowed her £1 a week, besides securing to her good medical attendance. A fact of this nature deserves publicity. I MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS• LIME-STREET WARD. TO THE EDITOR OF TELE NORTFIERN TIMES, Sir,.---At no season of the year are the local papers more amusing than in the fortnight immediately preceding the .municipal election. Each contested ward contributes to the general fund of amusement, nor has Lime-street ward been wanting on the present occasion. Mr. Jefferyseeks the rejection of Mr. Lloyd, and therefore the election of himself, on the ground of a quarrel between Mr. Lloyd and himself (not, he says, personally, but as chairman of an amalgamated committee) in respect of a pledge said to have been given and broken by Mr. Lloyd. But, good Mr. Chairman; where is the vote of the committee 'authorising you, and where is .the vote of the burgesses of .the ward authorising the committee to empower you, to exact the pledge ? How did Mr. Jeffery know that the pledge he required would be agreeable to the burgesses? We have heard of three tailors in Tooley-street claiming to represent the nation. As much and no more did Mr. jeffdry on this occasion represent the burgesses. But Mr. Lloyd seems, in some measure s to have yielded to the requi sition. Thep, let me ask him, did he think it consistent with his honour to go into the Council Chamber trammelled by a pledge to vote against, or to abstain from voting for, the man whom he thought best fitted to fill the office of alderman ? Is that the way the burgesses are to be treated ? Are they to be sacrificed at the shrine of a noisy chairman of an amalgamated committee ? Mr. Lloyd then invites his committee to dinner other members, either thinking that no pledge had been given, or, if given, it had not been broken, or dead to a nice sense of honour, accept the invita tion. But not so the high-minded Mr. Jeffery. He spurns the intended honour, and sacrifices turtle and venison to patriotism. But the m m whose high-mindedness kept him from Mr. Lbyd's table did not hesitate to stoop to the meanness of extracting from one - of the guests the cenrersa_ Con that passed there about himself, and publishing it to the world Mr. Lloyd is then elected Mayor, and Mr. Lloyd, as Mayor, invites Mr. Jeffery to dinner, at the Town Hall, on the. first open day. The invitation is declined ! It is repeated, and again_ declined ! ! Mr. Jeffery urges the necessity. of revising the rent roll of the Corporation. Will it not be as well to revise the dinner list of the Town Hall. " Last scene of all that ends this strange eventful history Is second childishness," personated by Mr. Robertson Gladstone. Mr. Gladstone professes his desire to rescue Mr. Jeffery from the crush of his affluent and aristocratic opponent ; and what but child ishness could suggest such an idea, or induce Mr. Gladstone to think that Mr. Jeffery needed the shelter of his protect ing arm. Is Mr. Jeffery the diffident, modest, and humble person, who, like a worm, would submit to be crushed ? Let Mr. Jeffery speak for himself, and we have it, on his own authority, that he is a man of sense. Bat, to give Mr. Gladstone his due, he administered to Mr. Jeffery one piece of good advice, when he recommended him not to rest his cause on the narrow ground of a pets 'nal Liverpool, October 29, 1836 LOOKER . ON. TO THE LIBERAL ELECTORS , Gentlemen,—l need not say that the eyes of Liverpool are now fixed on you, and that to-morrow will afford you the opportunity of proving your worth, or worthlessness, as men. Your opponents reckon on finding you subservient to their purpose ; and a good many of you know that they scruple not at the means to make you so. They have openly avowed that they hold you to be nothing better than the canaille of Liverpool—that is their own term, not mine— and that a trifle of money will get over any scruples you may have. Then, again, some of you can speak to the fact, that they have insidiously approached you, on the plea of their being your customers, and they left you in no doubt of what they meant on the point, should you happen to forget the fact. This is the old game, by which free-born men are expected to bo lured into conduct and acts worthy only of the most degraded slave. Yet they fear your firmness, and tremble accordingly. Your fellow liberals throughout the town will anxiously watch your progress, assured that you will not disgrace either yonrsalves or them, and that the cause of justice and good government will receive that support at your hands which is naturally to be expected from men who profess an abiding conviction of the soundness of their principles, and of what is due to their own consistency and honour. You will, therefore, give yours Ices a triumph by the result of the eleciion, which will be a fitting homage to public virtue. And no doubt, as every liberal elector will feel that the battle rests on his own shoulders, he will go to work with that zeal and earnestness which are - neeessary to success. Poll early, and cease not your labours until you have found the fiald to be yours—yours by a large majority. Mr. Lloyd will find gonenlation in his dofeat, by having thn h,ok door of the Council Chamber open for him. His friends will not forget what he has done for them at least, and they will accordingly invest him with the aldermanie gown ; and thus, while you will have Mr. Jeffery in the Council, supporting your interests in gas, water, public improvements, matters of dock extension, rateing and all other subjects which come home to your pockets, you will hare Mr. Lloyd in his new capicity of alderman, doing as much as he can in the other way, as he uniformly did titOng, the fifteen years he RESPICB FINENI. was your representative. Gentlemen, —Strength of purpose is evidenced by promp titude of action. Let us show our zeal in the good c rase by being up and stirring to-morrow. morning ; let us be at the polling both by 9 o'clock ; let us record our votes for Jeffery, as fast as pen and ink can register them ; and let the first hour be presage of the victory that will be pro• claimed at four,—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully, AN &Earn.
