THOMAS'S CHURCH, TOXTETH PARK TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SIR,--On Wednesday evening last, one of the most eloquent, impressive, and emphatical sermons was preached by that most indefatigable champion of Protes tantism, the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, M.A., in the above church, in behalf of the Toateth-park Protestant Opera tive Association, to a most crowded congregation, amongst whom I observed with sincere gratification the lady of James Lawrence, Esq., the Misses Gladstone, J. Gladstone, Esq , C. H. Horsfall, Esq., Messrs. Joseph Harrison, W. B. Jones, J. Dawson, Thos. Inman, Jno. Payne, and Thomas Huntington; with many otner gen tlemen of influence and affluence whom I was glad to see joined in the ranks of those who are determined to use all legal means to prevent the subversion of our Protestant institutions in this our native land. The rev. gentleman selected his text from the 4th chap ter 2nd Timothy, and 2nd verse—" Preach the word, be instant in season, out of season ; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine ;" which be expounded in the most sublime manner in connexion with the charge delivered to Timothy by St. Paul, as his uninspired suc cessor in the ministry, and contrasted it with the charge delivered to the holy and inspired apostles by our blessed Lord and Saviour, as written in the 20th chapter of St. John's gospel 21st and following verses—" Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost," &c. I hope and trust, sir, we shall see such associations organised throughout the country, so that the demoralizing spirit of Popery may be suppressed bythe preaching of the word of truth and the spreading of the genuine doctrines of Christianity. Then we shall see the deluded Romanists truly emancipated from the de basing bondage of superstitious horror and deadly aversion to their fellow men. They will no longer believe it is a mortal sin of the deepest die, to enter a Protestant church, or even_ to join with a Protestant in prayer to the Father of us all. They will no longer see the political and religi ous contests brought before them through a false and dis torted medium. Their feelings will be no longer poisoned against their fellow men. Their minds no longer occupied with some vague notions of a revolution, in conformity with some lying prophecies studiously put forward to mislead them. They will forsake their rebellious associa tions to be no longer constrained by every means that superstition can employ to betray the trust reposed in them. The link of good feeling will no more be snapped asunder by the political and ever reckless interference of a papist priest. The British Cabinet of the present day have fondly imagined that a liberal and gratuitous educa tion at Maynooth will impress a higher and more loyal stamp on the character of the priesthood ; but such is a vain imagination, as the studies of a popish priest are of subtle and scholastic logic, which serves rather to prevent than to improve the integrity of the judgment by disciplin ing the mind to invest error with the semblance of truth. I hope, Sir, these few remarks may have the effect of arousing our brother Protestants to a proper sense of their duty—to join themselves heart and mind to main tain the great and holy principles which it is my great pleasure to advocate. _ I remain Sir, Your most obedient and humble servant, A PROTESTANT January 10, 1816 EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—The Rev. Mr. Ewbank, in his " Address," says, " Had there been no expression of sorrow far past un charitableness and no declared resolution of future amendment, I should have considered the proposed al liance as ludicrously, or, to speak more properly, wickedly absurd." p. 11. Dr. Cox, in his speech at the Conference, said, " In order to promote union, you, Mr. Chairman, asked, last evening, that Dissenters should give up this, and Church men that ; and especially that we Dissenters should give up our aggressive movements against a system which I fairly say -xe must utterly disapprove Sir, I cannot give it up. I cannot abandon the aggressive movement." The principle here laid down by Dr. Cox was ratified by the Conference, and has since been adopted generally by the members of the Alliance. It is officially announced by the London Branch of the Provisional Committee. I call Mr. Ewbank's attention to this. Instead of a de clared resolution of future amendment, here is a declared determination of unabated hostility. Under such circum stances, it is impossible to gainsay the justice of Mr. Ewbank's conclusion—that the proposed alliance is " lu dicrously, or, to speak more properly, wickedly absurd." —I am, Sir, yours, &c., SPECTATOR. SPLENDID PAINTINGS AT THE REPOSITORY, UHURC fl-STREET, Mr. Grundy, who is indefatigable in catering for the choicest works of art to gratify his friends withal, has just received four superb paintings by eminent modern mas ters, with a cursory view of which we have been highly gratified. The first we noticed was " The Players' De ception of the Author," taken from the vivid description given by Le Sage, in the 11th chapter of the Ist volume of Gil Blas—and painted by Maclise, R.A. The players ore enjoying themselves after dinner at a sumptuous des sert, seasoned with abundance of scandal, and are in formed that " a man in marvellous foul linen, bedangled all over, and wir, looks much like a poet, wants to speak with them." The principal actress answered, " Show him up, but don't stir, gentlemen, 'tis but an author." The poor author was treated, on his appearance, with the most cutting railery, but durst not retort, as his piece had been accepted, and he feared it might suffer. The mo, ment seized is when, trembling and confused, he presents a paper to the principal actress, say ing—" Be so good, madam, as to accept of this part, which I take the liberty to offer." The picture is full of character and animation. The actors and actresses are in full costume, and their arrogance and contemptu ous treatment of the poor author are admirably and vari edly depict: din their several countenances, The humble garb and demeanour of the more worthy author forms a striking contrast to their gorgeous attire and supercilious deportment. There is also great merit in the architectu ral drawing and embellishment of the apartment, as well as in the furniture, fruit, and auxiliaries.—The second picture, called " The Combat," is by Wm. Ettey, R. k., a fine classical subject of three Herculean figures. This is the property of the Royal Scottish Academy. It is re markably fine in drawing and colouring ; may be consi dered as belonging to the highest range of the art, and reminds one of the greatest efforts of Titian. The third painting is one of the Battle of Waterloo, during the heat of the combat, by George Jones, Esq., R.A., keeper the Royal Academy. It is one of the finest represen tations of that great action we have yet seen, be ing full of life and certainly of " fire." The very sight of it fills one with at once a thrilling and a proud emotion. There are portraits in the smoking field of no fewer than thirty-five distinguished British officers ; and the picture, which is large and beautifully painted, derives additional interest and authenticity from the fact that the painter was himself a partaker of the dangers and the glories of the eventful day. The remain ing novelty we have to notice is •' The Retreating Storm,', by Danby, a truly wonderful and most masterly produc tion. The sun, after the h'-ight of a storm at sea, is re presented as setting with lurid glow, amidst the yet angry though dispersing clouds, and black weltering waters, which his rays here and there tinge in bloodred streaks. Nothing can, we think, be more poetically conceived : the scene, in fine, is not only fearful, vivid, and natural, but embodies a sublimity which true genius could alone achieve. From the shortness of our visit, and our time being cir cumscribed, we cannot, on this occasion, notice these fine pictures in detail. But we strongly recommend the lovers of the fine arta to inspect them, and judge for themselves. They are all to be engraved in the finest style for " Finden's Gallery of British Art," a splendid work now in course of publication. COACH TRAVELLING.—A retrospect on coach travel ling will not be unwelcome in these days, when all the empire is thinking about it. Bourne's history of the Bir mingham Railway furnishes us with the following : The reign of Elizabeth is usually assigned as the period when coaches were introduced into England ; but vehi cles with wheels, under the denomination of chares, cars, chariots, coaches, and whirlicotes, had been long previ ously employed. The term chariot seems formerly to have denoted a sort of wagon ; and in the will of Bartholomew Lord Burghersh (1369), the bier or other conveyance on which his corpse was to be carried is spoken of as a cha riot. Henry, the fifth Earl of Northumberland, was ac companied in his journeys by no less than thirty-six horsemen and seventeen carriages, conveying the house hold furniture and other necessaries. Queen Catherine, the first, and Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII., were each conveyed to Westminster in litters ; that of the latter being of white cloth of gold, led by two palfreys,' and on each of these occasions, ' chariots covered, with ladies therein, accompanied the litters.' When Cardinal Wolsey visited France in 1527, we find that the king's mother, the dame regent, entered Amiens, riding in a very riche chariot, and with her therein was the Queen of Navarre, her daughter.' A train of ladies on horseback followed, besides many ladies—some in riche horse litters, and some in chariots.' Vehicles called chares were prevalent at the same time ; but Mr. Mark land observes, that the ' litter appears to have been the more dignified carriage, and was generally used on state occasions only as a conveyance for a single person age o f high distinction. The last notice of the latter met with by Mr. Markland is by Evelyn, under the date of 1640. Stow informs us that the first coach built in England was in the year 1563. In 1572, Queen Elizabeth visited Warwick in a • coche or chariot;' and in the following year, we find a member of the Rytson family, of Hen grave in Suffolk, paying £34 14s, for what is called in the account my Mres Coche, with all the furniture thereto belonging, except the horses.' In 1619, the Duke of Buckingham first drove a coach with six horses, where upon his rival the Duke of Northumberland, set nil ano ther with eight. Although the use of coaches was at first deemed effeminate, they increased rapidly in number, as shown in a curious pamphlet published in 1636, called Coach and Sedan Pleasantly Disputing,' wherein the number of them then used in London and its immadiate vicinity is computed at more than 6000. Dekker and others satirise the citizens' wives for riding in coaches; and Taylor the water poet appears to consider their in troduction as a national calamity. Speaking of the break ing up of large households he says, The witchcraft of the coach hqi transformed, in some places, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, or one hundred proper serving men into two or three animals.' Wagons conveying both goods and passengers are known to have been in use so early as 1564.—Chambers' Enin. Journal. (From Sir Charles Burrell, Bart., AI.P.)

VISIT TO THE PYRAMIDS. From Memorandums of a Tour in Egypt, by Geo. Keet. At daybreak we started from our hotel in Grand Cairo, a goodly company, consisting of my father, myself, our dragoman, Ali Fadl, three donkeys, their propellers, and a fourth one to carry the eatables, for, during the inun dation of the Nile, it is a long and tedious journey, the distance being greater than at any other time. We rode through the narrow stre:qs, which were crowded even at that early hour, and, passing through Ibrahim Pasha's grounds, went through one of the beautiful gates of this city, and arrived at Old Cairo. Here we had a most magnificent view ; foe arriving at the end of the road, (we were perfectly entranced,) the valley of the Nile spread out, as it were, beneath our feet, dotted here and there with villages and palm trees, the rushing Nile below us, with boats of a bright colour and graceful form, passing to and fro, those in the distance, with their white sails, looking like birds upon the water, and right before us the two great pyramids, with several smaller ones, fading away in the distance. They did not look more than a mile from us, but they were thirteen ; so vast were they, that they deceived the natural eye. We dismounted from our steeds at this place, and got into a ferry-boat, donkeys, dragoman, and propellers ; I call them propellers, be cause these donkey boys establish a raw on the animal's back, and when the rider is mounted, they run behind, and every now and then give the unfortunate animal a dig with a pointed bit of stick, which they invariably carry. We crossed the Nile, remounted, and rode on through mud villages, tenanted by the poorer class of Arabs. The women form a peculiar feature in an Egyp tian landscape, dressed in one simple garment of blue, with veils covering the whole of the face but the eye;. They look like the weird sisters, or the presiding priest ess of an oracle, We travelled along a high bank, the whole of the land, right and It-ft, covered with water, flocks of wild birds floating on the surface. This bank was not straight, but wound round among villages. About half-way we arrived at a ruined bridge, donkey stumbled, and I very naturally fell over his head. Re mounted, and jogged on, the beat most oppressive. When we were within a mile or so from the pyramids, we came to a dead halt. The hick bank on which we had been travelling was broken, and the water dashing through it at a tremendous rate. While we were debating as to what course to pursue, we observed a number of black specks making rapid progress towards us, on the surface of the water. We asked our dragoman" what they were." He replied- " Bedouin Arabs take you up de Pyramid." In a few minutes about a dozen Arabs hounded on the bank, surrounded us, and told us, through the medium of our dragoman, that they would get us a boat. We agreed for the price, and they scampered off ta get the boat, the remainder sat round us, looking at us as though we were natural curiosities. One of them spoke a little English, and endeavoured to engage himself as my guide in the following manner. "Am you go up de pyramid; ver well. Englishman, ver good man; Arab man, ver good man. Two men, two dollar; four men. four dollar. You know Missa Shepard ? he weary good man, too." We waited about an hour in the burning sun, but no boat ar rived. I proposed swimming across the stream ; my father seconded me. We stripped, and swam across ; the whole body of the inundation emptying itself through this break in the embankment. My father got over directly, but I was not so fortunate, being washed down the stream some distance. Our clothes were carried across by the Arabs. Landed on the other side, we pursued our route, but had not got far when we had to be carried on the backs of the Arabs, over a marshy piece of water. They sank up to their necks several times, but we arrived safely at last on the plains of Ghizah, and stood at the base of the great pyramid of Cheops. There we eat qur cold mutton, and drank our bottle of pale ale, with an appe tite it would be difficult to describe. When we had finished, we commenced the arduous task of ascending. Two Arabs above me, and two below ; the two above pulled, the two below pushed ! So was I pulled, hauled, pushed, and dragged half-way up, when we stopped to breathe. I was panting and weary. My guides slapped me on the back, and said, " Englishman, very good man ; Arab man, very good man. Haff-way ; ha I ha! Back sheesh (i.e. charity)." As soon as we were rested, we re sumed our labours, and, after an immense effort, were safely landed at the top of the Great Pyramid. The view from the summit was grand ; the river winding in a serpentine manner through the desert, washing the sub urbs of the city of Cairo as it passed. On the stones, at the top, we found inscribed the names of many great men —Napier, Belzoni, Victor Hugo, &c. &c. At the bottom is the autograph of the celebrated Billy Button, the letters three feet high. The descent was a very difficult one, and perilous in the extreme. One false step, and we were lost. An Englishman, three years ago, was dashed to pieces in endeavouring to descend the second pyramid without a guide. On arriving at the base, we looked over some of the tombs in the neighbourhood Campbell's tomb the great Sphinx—and came to the conclusion, that it is evi dently a burial-place for the dead. On arriving at tht water edge, we were joined by the Sheik of the tribe el guides, and paid him our dollars, got into the boat loaded with water melons, and, as the sun set, bade adieu to these wonderful, vast, and sublime monuments of anti quity, that are marvellous beyond description. I ADJOURNED COUNCIL MEETING. The adjourned meeting of the Town Council was held at twelve o'clock yesterday, for the transaction of the business left undisposed of on Wednesday last. The Mayor presided. The proceedings of the Improvement, Courts of Law, and Markets Committees, were confirmed without eliciting observation. EDUCATION COMMITTEE The proceedings of the Education Committee comprised recommendations to increase the following salaries, viz., Mr. Harris, second master at the North School, from £6O to £BO per annum ; Mr. Pinckney, assistant master, from £25 to £3O per annum. The appointment of Mr. James Lees, as master of the Evening School for adults at the South School, at the salary of £25 per annum ; and of Mr. James Riley, assistant master, at £2O per annum ; the consideration of which several matters was postponed at the last monthly council, pursuant to the standing orders. The following summary of attendances at the Corpora tion Schools during the last month was read : NORTH SCHOOL. SOUTH SCHOOL 183 245 98 179 181 142 464 566 I n (ants ...... Total ....... On the books A sbort discussion took place respecting the salaries, the general opinion seeming to be that they were in adequate, but it was considered advisable not to interfere with the arrangements of the committee, and the proceed ings were confirmed. The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the Gaol and House of Correcti'n Committee were confirmed, corn prising the appointment of Charles Rayner as chief clerk in the room of Mr. Estell resigned, at the salary of £lOO per annum. . . The other committees' proceedings—Town Hall Estab lishment, Health of Town, Borough Court, and Church Expenditure—were confirmed. FERRY COMMITTEE-THE LANDING STAGE The TOWN-CLERK read the proceedings of this commit • tee, from which it appeared that on the 15th ult. a deputa tion from the Commissioners of Birkenhead, consisting of Messrs. Potter, Laird, & Green attended the committee to express their opinion that the public convenience would be better consulted by the erection of two additional landing stages in lieu of the large one now in course of construc tion, which should be divided into two, and that there should be additional flights of broad steps in the wall. There would then be four landing stages, three of which it was suggested should be appropriated to the ferry boats, one to be exclusively at the use of the Monks'-ferry and Woodside boats, and the other for the use of sea-going steamers. The chairman of the committee stated to the deputation that the committee had only the regulation of the landing stages now in use, and that the one now constructing was unde- the authority of one of the Dock Acts. The deputation stated that no obstacle would be opposed to any alteration by the Birkenhead Com missioners, and they expressed their conviction that the large stage would be inadequate to the public accommodation, and that the Dock Trustees would be compelled to afford more. The deputation having withdrawn, the Committee came to the following resolu tion :—" That it appears to this Committee desirable that this important subject should be fullyconsidered, in order to ascertain whether sufficient and proper accommodation can be afforded to the public, and at less cost, by means of additional landing places, in lieu of the large stage now Proposed, and that the Chairman and Mr. Aikin be re quested to bring the subject before the Dock Committee." Mr. PARKER.—Did the deputation state what the com missioners will pay towards the expense? The TOWN CLERK.—NO. Mr. PARKER ex pres Fed his coniriceion that they never would be satisfied whatever might be done by the Corpo ration, and he hoped the Council would not entertain the subject . Mr. MANN moved the confirmation of the proceedings. Mr. HORNBY asked whether any steps had been taken by the committee to ascertain whether the alterations could be made in conformity with the wishes of the Birk enhead commissioners, and at the same time in compli ance with the terms of the act of parliament? Mr. AIKIN said he regretted to find that the chairman of the Ferry Committee was not present; hut at the same time he was well pleased that the question had been put. Mr. Nicol, stated that Mr. Nelson Wood, the chair man of the committee, bad desired him to mention that he would have been present, but that he was obliged to attend another meeting of which he was chairman. Mr. AIKIN, in continuation, said, that inasmuch as he was named in the resolution with the Chairman of the Ferries Committee, to make the communication to the Dock Committee, the Council would expect that some thing should result from that communication. The com munication was made. He, was making it verbally when the Chairman produced a copy of the proceedings, which he read from the chair of the Dock Committee. This led him (Mr. Aikin) to urge for that which he bad already urged in the Council, and more at length before the Ferc y Committee, the very great benefit that would result to the public, and the great saving of money, as regarded the Dock expenditure, upon this large stage, the and less im pediment to the navigation of the river, by the adoption of the suggestion. But whether this could be accom• plished or not, it was clearly his opinion, and the opinion of practical men, that the representations of a deputation so respectable as those who waited upon the Committee, should receive every possible attention. In consequence of the discussion which took place, a question arose whether the application could be legally entertained — whether the clause in the act of Parliament having im posed upon the Dock Committee the necessity of making •a stage, it would be safe to touch the subject at all. It was agreed eventually that the Town-Clerk should confer with the Dock Solicitor upon that subject, that if they found it could legally and properly be done, they might put them into the way of doing that which in itself presented'fio great a desideratum. As he said before, he was about to make this comunication to the Dock Committee as from the Ferry Committee, when the chairman produced and read from the chair a copy of the committee's proceedings, which had been sent or delivered to him by Mr. Wood. The chairman having read that communication, and it appear ng to present the sum and substance of the whole affair, he (Mr. Aikin) moved, "the communication of the Ferry Committee having been read, resolved, that the Dock So licitor be instructed to confer with the Town-Clerk upon the subject." Nothing could be more sa'•e or simple, and it was also agreeable to the arrangement of the Town- Clerk with the Ferry Committee. It was, however, with some surprise and astonishment that he saw Mr. Nelson Wood, who was his colleague, move that the subject should not be entertained ; but at the request of the de puty-chairman Mr. Wood withdrew that motion, and his (Mr. Aikin's) stood in its naked shape as he had given it, seconded by Mr. Henderson. The chairman, however, refused to put it, because he said he had not read any communication from the Ferry Committee, and then he argued that he was not to call that a communication which he had just -read, unless it was signed by the Town-Clerk and the Committee's Clerk. He (Mr. Akin) urged that a communication made by the Chairman of the Ferry Committee was made in the most formal man ner; but in order that that puerile difficulty might be got over. he (Mr. Aikin) requested that Mr. Wood would make the communication in such phrase and form as would be consistent with the views of the Chairman of the Dock Committee. He said, " I have already made a communication," and as Mr. Wood could make no other than that which had been made, Mr. Henderson with drew his seconding of his (Mr. Atkin's) very simple pro position. But even if the suggestions of the deputation did not present any of the advantages which they did, he contended that in common courtesy they were bound to send a regular and proper reply ; but instead of so making a reply, he (Mr. Aikin) found by the public papers that the Chairman of the Ferry Committee had made some verbal communication on the other side of the water, to the effect that the Ferry Committee had no jurisdiction in the matter—that it belonged to the Dock Committee. He (Mr. Aikin) contended they had jurisdiction in the matter, for it was their peculiar privilege and duty to do everything in their power to facilitate the landing and em barking of passengers, and if that great object could be accomplished by a more simple and less expensive mode than the plan of the Dock Committee, it was their bounden duty to entertain it. He meant to say this, that the communication to the Dock Committee was made in the most correct form that it could be made in, and that it was got rid of in the childish and puerile way he had described. Mr. MANN stated there was no arrangement agreed to in the Ferry Committee that the Town-clerk should seek an interview with the Solicitor to the Dock Estate. It was a suggestion to, but there was no adoption of it by the Ferry Committee. The TOWN-CLERK mentioned that it was proposed he should see the Dock Solicitor, and he stated in answer to it that the Dock Solicitor would not see him unless he was so instructed by the Dock Committee. Mr. MANN added that the Ferry Committee were not agreed as to the desirableness of the Town clerk having an interview with the Dock Solicitor. Mr. Ai KiN.—Oh, clearly so. The TOWN-CLERK.-It was proposed in the committee I should see the Dock Solicitor and Mr. Mallaby. I said, of course, Mr. Mallaby woulJ attend by order of the de putation, but Mr. Worthington would not unless in structed by the Dock Committee. Mr. MANN said the deputation stated that the Birken head Commissioners would be satisfied with the ex clusive use of one stage, but would all the other parties interested be satisfied with the use of only half a stage? As to the obstruction to the navigation by the intended stage, he was sure it would be as great from the three stages as from the one, for they would take up quite as much room ; whilst in the opinion of practical men, it would be impossible to work them in the same length. Vessels could not work between the landing stages and the pier-head whilst there were steamers lying there at the same time. He was of opinion, therefore, that upon the merits of the case, the question would have been lost in the Dock Committee. Mr. MOORE said he felt it incumbent upon him to say a few words on this question after the observations which bad fallen from Mr. Aikin. The Council might suppose from what had been stated, that every opposition had been offered to this matter by the Dock Committee, and more particularly by himself. He begged to say he would not call it a perversion of facts—but it certainly was not what he underitoed to be a correct narrative of what bad taken place i❑ the mater—far from it. He ( Mr. Moore) appealed to every member of the Dock Committee present, who had been present on that occasion, whether what had been said was a fair statement of the case or not. Mr. Aikin bad alluded to some document put into his ( Mr. Moore's) hand, as coming from the Council, and said he ( Mr Moore) refused to put a resolution in the Dock Committee, because it referred to that document. He did not refuse to put the resolution to the Committee because he left the matter in the hands of the Committee but he did suggest the impropriety of proposing such a resolution referring to such a document, which was not a document but merely a narrative of what had taken place between !certain parties in the Ferry Committee. The document was handed to him by Mr. Nelson Wood, before the question was brought on, in order that he might give any information to the mittee. But it was no document. It a In fact, it was no more than a mere n had taken place, v 11 . ( h he (Mr. Moor , !nation of the Committee ; and, therefor as every man would in his place, to put stating the impropriety of the resolution so referring to a memorandum as a document coming from that Council. If this were to be done, where would it stop? It was, indeed, nothing more than waste paper, and it belonged to the gentleman who handed it to him, and he might take it back, he said, if he pleased, on which Mr. Wood said, " Please to hand me my parer." He took it, and put it into his pocket. Then Mr Aikin made a statement. from which different inferences might be drawn by different parties, but it so happened he was totally at issue with Mr. Mann and Mr. Wood, both members of the Ferry Committee, as to the course that ought to he adopted ; and as to any recommendation from the Ferry Com mittee for the two legal advis-rs tc ment ever came before the D deed, did the resolution of t the Town-clerk was to st subject.

To this Mr. Aikin that. Why? Because they refused to Moore) as Chairman of the Dock Coma quence of the treatment they bad reg•-• before. (A laugh.)

Far be it from him to sand in the way of anything being done to meet the wishes of the Birkenhead Commissioners. But he did not look upon the landing stage as not concerning them half so much as the town of Liverpool: in making the best landing -stage they were promoting the best interests of the town of Liverpool; for by facilitating the landing of passengers, they would be bringing all the residents on the c" • river to spend their money here. With that Dock Committee were carrying out what they consiu, to be the best plan ; and they were determined to carry out the Act of Parliament in the fullest and m manner possible. But suppose tL nitiative and propose to the Ferry Cu, kenhead Commissioners to make a change in the landings stage, and say,'` we shall save money by making three stages instead of one"—whst posit , when they went to Parliament tbis yeal said money had never been a consider that their only wish was to give the best accornmou., and to spare no expense ; and what position would they be in if they went to parliament with such a proposition as the present emanating from them ?

Mr. MOORE said he was quite ready. He would ask any member of the Council whether the version given by Mr. Aikin of what had taken place in the Dock Com mittee left the impression upon their minds of what bad actually taken place? Mr. Aikin stated that he (Mr. Moore) had produced a document coming from the Town- Clerk or the Council. That alone was an answer to him ; for he (Mr. Moore) produced no such document, and he accounted for it bystating it. had been put into his hands by Mr. Nelson Wood. Nor had he charged Mr. Aikin with perversion. He said he would not call his statement a perversion, but that different inferences and impressions had been made on his mind and would be made on the minds of the Council by the real state of the case. Nor had he refused to put the resolution ; but he had sub mitted to the Dock Committee the impropriety of putting such a resolution as relating to a document which was no document at all. The MAYOR stated that this was a question for the Dock Committee, and what passed there could not be discussed on these proceedings. There was no document mentioned in the Ferry Committee's proceedings as being presented to them, but Mr. Wood and Mr. Aikin were enjoined to bring the resolution before the Dock Com mittee as individual members. Mr. MOORE observed that that made all the difference between a document and waste paper. Mr. HORNBY said this discussion was a complete waste of time. Whether the Dock Committee had acted pro perly in refusing to have the motion made by Mr. Aikin submitted to it, was not an affair of this Council, for the Council had no power to interfere with the proceedings of the Dock Committee, except when they were regularly brought before it. His (Mr. Hornby's) individual opinion was, that Mr. Aikin's motion was of no consequence whatever, whether any communication had been made or not. It was for the Dock Committee to entertain it or not, as they pleased; and if he (Mr. Hornbv) had been a member, he should have refused to entertain it himself, not upon the grounds on which it was refused, but upon the ground of the Birkenhead Commissioner s h av i ng re uonenwceitohf somethk e Ca e i l r i m ng a t n he o y f manner, had a perfect right to refuse to lifdcl ft e ul n ise t e e Dd rt ot a oc ii k ie h d Colo t d o m w am a n r iyt d tc s eoe h m im imn . ueno A nics i a l e y tgi Committee treated in that communica tion with the body so treating them.

In addi tion to this, the doors and windows do not fit close, so that you may sit and roast your body close to your stove, with a draught cutting your ankles off, from a long gap underneath the door, and another draught cutting your throat from the aides and chinks of the window-frame. We have sat at dinner on a cold windy day in winter, in a room like an oven, but with our feet as cold as ice, from the wind of a great stone hall below, that bad a wide staircase opposite the front door (continually open ing), the head of which staircase was directly facing the dining-room door, the said door not touching the floor by at least half an inch all along. As there are no carpets or other impediments to the wind, we had it " fresh and fresh" as any of the doors below leading to street or gar den were opened, to say nothing of open windows. Then the method of warming the rooms in winter by the Ger man stove is deteitable. You are either made hot to suf focation, the horrid thing becoming red hot, or it does not give out half enough heat, and is often the only warm thing in the room. If the stove was light and warm, we were never able to convince any host or hostess of any house, public or private, that this fact was not the princi pal consideration, and that it was the person occupying the room who ought chiefly to be considered—it was whe ther he was warm or cold—that was the point; the stove being warm was, in itself, little or nothing to the purpose —the stove was not lit to warm itself only. It was of no use; they smiled, or took it amiss, avd went away, 6 " Englanders were an ( stoves are lit h times the n aperture from - thi M'tinughtor town dt f the room, _ . so that the regulation of the temperature b billy out of your h an d s , th ey e i t h er f reeze 3 larly bake you, ju-t as th e case ma y h ap pe n ; - - and you have no remedy but to run ou t o f the room.
