and it appears that the usual custom in the township has been for the outgoing overseers, on receipt 'of a precept from the high co stable, and as a ml:terpurelyofcourtesy, to consult the parishioners in vestry .assembled as to whom they should nominate to the magistrates-in petty sessions- for appointaient to the office, in the, then ensu ing year. But little doubt as to the law seems to be felt by most people, but there are not a few who say that the retiring overseen have not only violated the law, but h e ave outraged custom—immemorial custom —which they take to be the lex non scripta, and which, in the event of the absence of a specific legislative enactment; they say will be taken as the rule that ought to govern the overseers. In Burns' Justice of the Peace it is stated that " With a view to the selection of proper persons for the office, two justices onf . ., , ht to issue a precept to the High Con stable, directing him to require the petty constables to enjoin all the overseers within their respective con stablewicks to deliver in a list of qualified inhabitants within a certain time." Now this, direction does not appear to have ,been repealed, and the absence of the precept this year for the first time is stated to have Placed the overseers in a difficulty from which they sought to relieve themselves by an appeal to the magis trateS who are the parties bound - to direct the precept to issue. This they did in a letter addressed to the magistrates assembled in Petty Sessions at Neston, and . the following is the copy of the 'body of the letter in question Not having received a precept from the Righ Censtable requiring us to submit a list of sub stantial householders to the magistrates in the Petty Sessions for the appointment of two overseers of the poor for the township of Trannsere, and no public meeting of the ratepayers having been called to make O.ut such li st, we wish to know if a public meeting of the ratepayeri is requi s ite, and if so- on-what d a y must we make the return of such list P'• The bench did not consider a vestry meeting necessary, and no doubt, relied upon the well-known tenor of the law, which is briefly stated i n "The Justice of the Peace" in the following ms:—M a gi strates in our opinion, are not bound to elect overseers from the vestry list, but may appoint any other du ly qualified persons, if they think fit to do so. The statute of Elizabeth (43 Eliz. e. 2, s. 1,) requires the ihagistrates to appoint overseers, and throws the whole Qe re 9onsibility o f d o i ng so upon th em . I n: or d er t o en ableen them to ascertain who, are the proper parties h usual the -e appointed,it is for the magistrates to require P °a tgoing overseers to furnish them with a list of ersons qualified and liable to serve the office." The d el ;ch' having required the overseen to hand in a list of °l' qualified persons, we understand the retiring over irrs complied, and that -from that list Mr. William _ oulter and Mr. William Stewart were selected by the rgistrates, and 'appointed as the successors of Messrs. ti ,lock and Langley. .

AND PRESENT, Three centuries—but a short period. in the history of our country—have wrought stupendous changes in the once " decayed town of Liverpool." Cities and towns, Once the pride of the land and the envy of surrounding communities, have, frOm a variety of changes, fallen from the pinnacle of fame, and are now scarcely called to remembrance, save in the recollection of some memo rable encounter between a troublesome sovereign and a contentious people, or in the similarity between what was once a great emporium of trade in Britain, but now ' the, site of a few wretched houses and an oozy haven; and some of the ancient seaports of the East, who pos sessed the arts [of civilisation at an extremely remote epoch—who were celebrated for their riches, their manufactures, and their diffuse commerce. And yet, this once little fishing village hai become the second city of England, in point of population and of wealth ; and has even'provoked the envy of its great neighbour in the cotton district. Indeed, tke most remarkable feature of the history of our town is the rapidity with which it has risen into importance—a rapidity without example in the history of any other town in the world; and yet we are daily adding to the immense proportions of our borough. Our citizens have a considerable amount of wealth and with their large fortunes and industry contribute to the prosperity of their town by using every legitimate exertion to increase its trade. We can all appreciate the desire of the opulent to follow the example of the ancient Romans, who were very sensible of the fact that when a people increase in wealth they may justifiably add the pleasures, after having provided for the neces saries of life. Anti thus we'find that when Rome was in its greatest glory, the renowned warrior of Britain— Caractacus—was carried prisoner there; and, observing the beauty and magnificence of the buildings of that proud metropolis of the world, is said to have expressed great surprise "that the Romans, who had such magni ficent palaces of their own, should envy the wretched cabins of the Britons." The merest schoolboy is very sensible of the arts used by that great nation to tempt - the rich to live among them—the breadth of the streets, the airiness of the public squares, and the combination of usefulness and elegance in the buildings—all united to command inhabitants. And why should not the same rule apply now to Liver pool ? They were giants of greatness and skill in those days of Roman magnificence ; but we moderns are very unsophisticated in Our attempts at rendering our cities splendid and imposing. Still, if by the means of our architecture we have a test from , which we shall be enabled to infer the comparative cultivation .and pro gress. of intellect" amongst us, then we may predict for Liverpool a high place in the scale of a - refined and elegant taste"; for, have not our architects in Liverpool —our Stubbs our Holmes', our Pictons, our Hays', our Verelsts, our Boults, our Hornblowers, our Nevr lands, and many mote most excellent men—by the beautiful edifices that they have erected in various parts of the town—monuments, splendid although simple in design demonstrated that they under stood construction as well as effect that they knew the value of a combination, always most difficult to effect, of usefulness, and ornament, and that they have succeeded in nearly every instance in achieving success ? Our object, however, is not to discuss the changes and chances by which ancient architecture rose to its meridian grandeur, then declined with an equal decline of intellect, and eventually sunk, but happily to rise again ; it is rather to draw attention to the coin- parison that exists between the incipient attempts of architecture in the great bulk of our commorcial edifices, and the mailed improvement in taste that has manifested itself recently in that respect. The noble suites of offices that have been erected in Water-street, Chapel-street, Dale-street, Oldhall-street, and thereabouts; the - splendid establishments of Messrs. Elkington and Mason, and of the spirited proprietois of Compton House, Messrs. Jeffery, Morrish, Jeffery, & Co., in Church-street, are amongst late instances of what has been done in quick 'succession to grace our principal thoroughfares. ,Within the last few tnonths, 'indeed, very much has been done towards the - architectural embellishment of Church-street,' by the erection of a superb building for the rapidly extending business carried on at Compton Hoise ; nor can we conceal from ourselves the fact, that the Corporation, by the erection of the new public offices in Dale-street, will do an infinite service to the Own, especially in that particular locality. A densely populated area, covered by narrow streets and filthy hovels, the abodes and haunts of 'depraved and lawless characters, will be swept of its contaminating influences, and spacious and handsome buildings (the plans of which the public have had an opportunity of inspecting fqr themselves, and of which we have already given an ela borate description) will most probably be shortly erected. Of the new premises in Church-street, built by Messrs. Jeffery, Morrish, Jeffery, and Co., •it may not here be uninteresting to say a few words on the planning, erect ing, and finishing of the undertaking. The premises known as Compton House now extend along Basnett street to Leigh-street, and occupy a space of about 3,222 yards ; and an altogether new branch of business has been introduced—namely, cabinet-making, uphol stery, and general fnrnishing. The magnificent front which opens into Basnett-street has been universally admired. It is of the Corinthian order, the pediment being supported by four freed three-quarter columns, the caps and architrave elaborately enriched and orna mented, and the spaces between the columns filled up with large squares of glass: The interior is in accord ance with the exterior, and is filled up with. halls, galleries, &C., above all of which rises an elevated dome. Beneath are suspended three elegant chandeliers, which light the whole building . in the evening, producing a most dazzling effect. The floors are covered with rich carpeting, and in the windows is displayed a variety of articles, of the most choice design and beautiful workmanship. The new portion of this monster establishment will, we believe, be opened for business on Monday next. The style adopted is a free adaptation of the Italian, and corn prises a frontage of 55 feet, which is carried up five stories, or 60 feet above the level of the street line, the whole being. executed with stone from the Grinshil Quarries, Shropshire. In architecture, we are told, there are two general rules with respect to buildings of this kind. One rule, dictated by utility, is that they be firm and stable ; another, dictated by beauty, is that they also appeai• so ; and thus the pleasing emotions of beauty's, realised. blow, Mr. Thos. Haigh, of Liverpool, who bas been both the architect and builder, in this case has, certainly acted up to the general rnie that every. building Should be adapted in appearance and style to, the purPose for which it is erected.' The. front of the gronnd floor consists of massive polished bronze supports relieved with bright brass. The heads of the windows and entrance to this front are of elliptical form; and their spandrils are enriched with scroll ornaments in bold relief. The frlexp is bronze also, panelled . and 'moulded, the uames of the pfqprieturs I.lolg introduced thereon in projecting letters. The plates of glass ill this front are of larger dinierisions than hitherto used for similar pur poses. The first fluor will also be devoted. to business, and consists of a range of segmental-headed windows, having moulded and carved suppoils and archivolts, and crowned with an enriched and panelled string course, on which is inscribed the name of the establishment, " Compton Houie." The second and third floor windows have panelled' pilasters, frieze and cornices, moulded ftrebitraves, and trips blocks. &Tie qqd ornamental i f o 4 i i alcoiiies are attached to these windows; the front is surmounted bybOld projecting cornice carried on trusses, and the whole finished with a panelled nAdoPen balustrade parapet. We shall now briefly glance at the—internal arrange ments . of the building ; and hara we may safely pro. , nounce this a sumptuous edifice. One was very much struck With the large . size of the principal rooms, which are well proportioned to the 'size of the whole. The internal arrangements of the buildings, on the basement, ground, and first floors, are entirely appropriated to business purposes, and occupy thrOughout the premises 4 1 1 411 of 4,10 q square yards = whilst the vortion applied te - , domestic iise covers a spate of I.lpvirsirds of 6„ooqyairds. Some idea of this extent May lie formed by the iinpro fvssim4l reader, if we state that, if reduced to a pavement three feet - wide, pip a ff Siti f Bs pOrtiOn alcq would extend three miles, ar from thvgkohaage t4e,Old Swan. ThC domestic portion, if added, starting from the same point, would reach the extreme 'end of Waterloo, a dis tance of six miles. And' speaking of the domestic portion of the new erec tion bids us remember that the chief object of human concern being health, pleasure, and convenience, these three excellencies, have been studied with careful atten tion by the architects. Indeed there can be no doubt but that, by the erection of this noble building, Messrs. Jeffery, Monist', Jeffery, and Co. have done au infinite service' to humanity, because the workpeople whom they employ are numbered by hundreds ; and it -is a source of but too common complaint that the business establishments of our towns are most unwholesome. This portion of the building contains a large; spacious, ant well-ventilated library, which, in addition to being well supplied with newspapers and the more enduring periodical literature of the day, will be enriched with upwards of 2,000 volumes of standard works, embracing every department of science. Sitting-rooms of capacious dimensions-and elegance are provided for the buyers and superintendents—young men, young ladies, and appren, tices respectively. And a commodious and superior room, specially erected, is added as a smoking-room. Each floor contains baths, &c., plentifully supplied with, hot and cold water; all of which have- for their object the improvement and elevation of the habits and character of the young people employed. The interior decoration is simple and chaste, the aim of the design throughout hav ing been the production of an edifice partaking more of they " business and domestic" than of ornate character. The rear of the new part of .the building is lighted by a well of, ample dimensions, 25 feet square and 62 feet high, the upper portion of which is glazed with ground and polished glass, and finished with a lantern light. We may be pardoned here for reverting to the earlier portion of our notice, for nothing can be more dis agreeable than to see a great glare of light in one part of a roopl and. to End another part certainly in a strong shade. It is one of the great merits of this magnificent structure that the windows are in proportion to the dimensions of the rooms they are intended to illuminate, and have a very pleasing effect upon the eye ; indeed, there is an entire absence of all deformity caused by an unequal distribu tion of light. The principle of artificial lighting is by sunlights, and every attention has been paid to ventila tion. The whole building will be heated by steam pipes, and, in a word, we 'may say that every modern improvement that can add to the comfort and con venience' of the public, the supporters of Compton House, and the employits of Messrs. Jeffery and Co., will be introduced. 'Liverpool in the past was great, in the present she is great, and we must predict for her a future of magni ficence that shall win the admiration of all who pass through her ample and splendid thoroughfares. That future will be the result, to a greirt extent, of private enterprise and munificence, such' as that , which has shone so conspicuously in the case of the spirited proprietors of Compton House. SHIP DAWN OF HOPE. (From the Melbourne Argus.) This celebrated Black Ball ship, 1,214 tons, George M'Kie, commander, which sailed from this port on the 18th of October last, arrived lately at Melbburne. She experienced generally very fine weather throughout the passage, except on the Bth January, in lat. 44 deg. 14 min. S., lon. 105 deg. 15 min. E., when she encountered the last of .a hurricane, which continued' about four hours. Every preparation, however, was made for it, and she did not sustain any damage. The cabin passengers consisted of Mr. and Miss Tate, Mrs. Sinclair and family (2), Miss, Dolan, Captain H. Morwick, Mrs. Morwick, and child, Miss A. Wright, Rev. Mr. Begg, Rev, Mr. White, Messrs.. D. M'lntyre, G. Barton, Dr. Rochlitzk ; and 200 in the steerage.' W. H. Cheyne, Esq., surgeon. Bright Brothers & Co., agents. The following testimonials were presented to the captain before landing : January 27, 1860. • To George M'Kie, Esq., captain of the ship Dawn of Hope. Sir,—We, the saloon passengers, fully appreciating the benefits you have conferred upon us during this voyage, are desirous of expressing our gratitude in such a manner as may be acceptable to you. We are con scious that to you, chiefly, we owe our relief from the many anxieties and discomforts incident 'to a voyage of so many thousand miles. We may be allowed to remark that we have frequently taken notice of your devotion . to your duties, your anxiety, your 'watchfulness, and caution, in the management . of the ship; and seeing these, we have felt that, to you, uuder God, we are indebted for such a pleasant and comfortable voyage. ' Although, from the frequency ,of light winds and continued calms, our passage cannot be reckoned among the sliortest,lyet we have not felt it long; and we feel assured that in similar circumstances there is no other captain who could have made a 'shorter passage. We have also had experience of your watchfulness and skill in regard to the storm which overtook, µs on, the morn ing of the 18th of this month. Our escape, without any loss or dathage, is, under God, entirely owing both to your having the ship prepared for it, and to your knowledge of the laws of these storms, , Your desire for our individual comfoxt, your' kind sympathy, and your gentlemanly manners have given you a lasting place in our respect and esteem. In an addiess of ibis kind it would be culpable neglect did we forget to mention your officers, Mr. Geale and Mr. Morrison; whose faithfulness in the discharge of their 'duties has not escaped our notice, and whose' continued courtesy and kindness have merited our grati tude and respect; and also your whole crew, who have shown so much civility and devotion to duty. In closing this address to you; sir, permit us to mention Mrs. .M 4 Kie, of whose disinterested kindness and sympathising manners we all have had thefullest experience. WiShitig that you and Mrs. M'Kie may long enjoy health and prosperity, and be 'the !Ileitis of conferring upon others the same courtesies that you have shown to us,' We remain yours very respectfully, Mrs. Sinclair, Duncan M'lntyre, Grace Sinclair, 11. Morwick, - Ellen Tate, D. Rochlitz Kalmark, Charlotte Dorian, George Henry Barton, Annie' Wright, Edward H. Tate; Elizabeth Morwick, William E. White, Andrew Begg, T. A. Sinclair. Ladies and Gentlemen,—To one in such a position as it has pleased God to place me during the last few months, surrounded by dangers, with the lives of so many under my care, and the anxiety of navigating a ship over so many thousand miles, it is indeed a great gratification to find that we are so near the end of our voyage without a single mishap, and with a ship per fectly sound, and all the passengers in the enjoyment of good health ; but how much is this gratification increased by the additional pleasure of receiving from you an address so kind and so complimentary as that which I have just now had the honour of hearing read. I am not conscious of having done anything to merit such an address. It has always been my care to do my duty to all the passengers, as well as to the owners; but, as it has pleased you to express your 'gratitude in such a manner, allow me to return you my warmest thanks. Your kind approbation of the conduct of my chief officers, Mr. Geale and Mr. Morrison, must be - to those gentletnen, as it is to myself, exceedingly gratifying, also your mention of lily crew ; and in their name, and in the name of the' crew; I thank you. For the complimentary manner in which you have been Pleased to speak of Mrs. MlCie, I beg you to accept our grateful thanks. I cannot conclude without thanking Dr. Cheype for the manner in which he has discharged the duties of vice chairman at this table, as well as for his readiness and kind attentions to every passenger who stocd in any need of his assistance. , • With heartfelt thankfulness to Almighty God, who has in his watchful Providence brought us safely thus far on our voyage, let me, in anticipation of a safe and successful landing, bid you farewell. And may each of you enjoy a full share of happiness and prosperity in these new and'rising colonies; and I trust _that here after, whenever you recal this Toyage to, mind, you will not think it too much to bestow a kind, thought on the Dawn of Aope, and on Your gratefq savant, QKR,GkE MCK.tr. To George M'Kie, Esq., Captain of the ship Dawn of Hope. - -Sir,—We, passengers on board this ship, beg to take this opportunity of returning ow thanks to you for the ability you have, by the goodness of God, displayed in navigating the ship from Liverpool to Melbourne, where in a few days.we hope to arrive. We have much cause for congratulating ourselves and the owners of the ship for the good fortune which placed you in your. present difficult position, and im posed upon you the disagreeable duty of pleasing every one—wherein, we believe by your urbanity and 'readi ness at all times to afford redrm fay.

The annual general vestry of the ratepayers of the parish of Liverpool was held in St.•Nioholas's parish church at noon yesterday. The Rev. Rector Campbell presided. The attendance was somewhat smaller than on previous occasions, and the proceedings throughout svere orderly, quiet, and decorous. The accounts, which have already been published by us, were taken as read ; and they were passed on the motion of Mr. Bairstow, who congratulated the church. wardens on the favourable state of the finances. -Mr. J. W. Cropper was appointed senior church warden without opposition. Mr. BAIRSTow moved the appointment of Mr. Thos. Smith as junior churchwarden, which was seconded by Mr. Critchley.. Mr. CROPPER moved, as an amendment, that Mr Denton be appointed, which was seconded by Mr. Chalk. On being put to the vote, Mr. Smith's name was car ried. Mr. Chalk demanded a poll on behalf of Mr. Denton, but ultimately withdrew the request. Messrs. Tyndall and Livingstone were appointed sides men ; Mr. G. Nickson and Mr. T. J. Watkins, church wardens of St. John's; and Mr. J. R. Jeffery and Mr. W. Roberts, churchwardens of St. Paul's. Mr. CROPPER moved that no church-rate be laid for present year, but that in place of it a voluntary rate of a penny in the pound be levied. It had been paid willingly and handsomely even by dissenters. Alderman WOODRUFF, in seconding the proposition, said he did so upon the firm conviction that after a trial of the voluntary rate in this parish for five years, it had proved satisfactory to the great bulk of the com munity. When the voluntary rate was first collected, the amount received was only one half what it had been last year; and if they found the parish churches were largely attended and kept in better repair, and that the voluntary rate was paid cheerfully, he did not know how the most sanguine churchman could wish such a state of things to be altered. (Hear, hear.) He firmly believed they had sufficient resources in the Church of England to maintain their own establishment unimpaired, outwardly or inwardly. They could do it without intrenching upon the funds of those who differed from them; and he trusted there would still be that spirit of liberality which would always stimulate the members of the Church of En - gland to put their hands into their own pockets and pay for that which was a personal matter between themselves and their God. The motion was agreed to unanimously. Mr. ROBERTS then, moved that the churchwardens be authorised to expend about £lOO out of the voluntary rate for supplying stoves, cushions, carpets, , and other things necessary for the decent performance of divine worship at St. Paul's Church. Mr. CROPPER seconded the motion. Alderman WOODRUFF did not think, that it was a proper thing to defray out of the voluntary rate, which was intended for the parish churches only. Mr. JEFFERY (having been called upon to "say some thing" by his brother church Warden, Mr. Roberts) said they found the church last year in a most deplorable state. They found the clergymen differing and acting separately and distinctly, and by no means pulling together. He was happy to say, however, that that state of things had. altered. The two clergymen who had to perform. the duty of that church were now about to act in concert. They had mutually arranged to officiate together, one taking the reading-desk, while the other occupied the pulpit. The Church Extension Committee of this town. had also taken an interest in the services at St. Paul's Church, and they had appointed a gentleman to occupy the pulpit on Sunday evenings. Hitherto the attendance had been excessively meagre, and any Churchman going there would have distress of mind to see sucli a noble edifice so thinly attended—an edifice which had cost thin community, by a rate of a shilling in the pound at the time, a sum amounting to £13,000 or £14,90—a noble building, capable of accommodating from 1,800 to 2,000 persons. The attendance had been down as low as 44 during the past year, and at the highest 130. Since the appointment of the gentleman to do duty on Sunday evenings, the congregation had already doubled itself. Re could not object to part of the voluntary rate being expended, as proposed, on St. Paul's, if the public were made clearly to understand it. Speaking for many dis senters, provided the Gospel was preached under that, roof, and such an example was set as ought to be set by ministers professing to be followers of Christ, the dis senters generally would be happy indeed that so much of their contributions should be appropriated to the requirements of St. Paul's. The CHAIRMAN suggested that the resolution should be worded thus :—That the churchwardens be requested to assist out of the voluntary rates in the maintenance: of St: Paul's Church, in such things as could not be paid out of the parochial rate. Mr. URQUHART objected to the voluntary rate ever being applied to any but parish churches. Mr. BRAXELL should like to know whether Mr. Ur quhart had ever paid anything towards the voluntary rate. (Laughter.) Mr. K. LIVERSEDGE was in favour of the proposition, if it was not to form a precedent. Mr. HAIGH, as a dissenter, would pay the voluntary rate, and support the proposition. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said he was glad to hear that many dissenters paid the rate ; but he was sorry to hear that some who ought to be his friends did not pay it. The rate, in this parish, always really was voluntary; it had never been a compulsory rate in Liverpool, to his mind ; Nobody ever was compelled to pay it. He did not be lieve that dissenters generally entertained anything like enmity towards the Church. After all, the Church ought to be, and he trusted they were, a valuable body of men to the whole community. it bad been his wish to tender all the service he possibly could to the whole community, whether they belonged to the Established Church or not and he ventured to say that a consider able portion of his time was employed in rendering ser vices just as valuable to dissenters as to members Rf t ? he Established Church. He wished, with a hilt heart and soul, to live on the best temk of friendship. and amity with all the pari t sbioAers, whether they belonged to the Established Church or. not. (Hear, hear.) The motion, as, suggested by the. Chaikraan, was agreed to., On the motion of Mr. et appo, a, tate of a farthing in the pound was laid towards the completion of Walton parish cemetery; and as to the, parochial rate, it was estimated that the u.saal halfpenny rate would he the assessment for the ensuing year, Mr.; George Nicksou aid Mr. Thomas Wylie were appoiUted assessors, and the collectors were re-appointed. The, confiroaatiou of Mr. Edward Byford was carried unanimously, Mr. CROPPER moved Mr. John Lightbound in the place of Mr. Archer, who had been disqualified by reason of non-attendance. Mr. CHALK proposed Dr. Whittle as an amendmm\t, but meeting with no seconder, Mr. Liglitb,oußA was declared elected. Mr. Francis Lee Jones was elected a. member of the Vestry in the plaou og• Mr. T. H. Satchell, who had been apP4;trecA overseer.; and the- following gentlemen were alo, elected• :—Messrs. Ambrose Byford, Joseph Cafferata, Josepb Hughes, Qearge Melly-, H e n r y J .

"In the Parliamentary session of 1857-a, 4\ bit' was, at thei instance of the then ChurchwuAen,a and o,ver seers, laid before the House o.t 0 9Mm9P.s, Which had for its object the rating of Vic lover/Jo:A i docks. This was subsequently ahagonek it being considered by the law advisgii of the Ruh to, be a preferable course-Ist. To endeavour, to, obtain the insertion, in the dock bills then before • Parliament, of 4 rating clause; and, 2nd. To again bring Ware the superior courts the question . as to the rateability of the (leeks. The, application for the insertion of a rating clause was negatived by the Par liamentary committee, but the churchwardens and over seers were successful in obtaining the introduction of a clause in the Mersey Docks Consolidation Act, .to the, effect that nothing in that act contained should . akect the rateability of the estate. The question Y4ks then raised by action. In the summer o 1,858, proceedings were taken agaioo ‘ st the Mersey bock Bo ar d f or payment of that Xca.V.S raAe, theft due. A warrant was obtained and seizure made; upon which the board commenced an action of replevin against the ohurchwardens and over seers. 'This aetiau is still pending, and the church wardens awl overs eers regret that, although they have made every effort to expedite the settlement of the question, they have, as yet, been unable to obtain a decision. " Shortly after the Dock Rating am was abandoned, the corporate and parochial authorities, in many loca lities in which large Government establishments are situate, commenced an agitation for the purpose of bringing such establishments within the area of rate ability; A Select Qgmmittea of the Rouse of Commons was appointed to consider the qpestion, and they report ing unanimously in favour of rating all property, whether in the occupation of Government or of public companies, the Government undertook to bring in a bill embodying this principle, _ As it was no t cer t a in that the tiovernment bill would cover the case of the Liver- Taal Dock Estate, it was considered advisable to again apply to Parliament, in the last session, for power to rate both it and the property in the occupation of the Town Council; and, accordingly, the churchwardens and overseers, in co-operation with the corporate autho rities, and the overseers of Toxteth-park and Icirkdale, introduced a bill for the purpose. T* hill was lost on the second reading, ostentlibly on the .ground that the question was 4 411 Pending ill the la,w courts, and that the Government measure, haying reference to the rating of public property generally, was at that time before the Douse. " The bill introduced by the goyerument was, after being read a second time, abandoned by them, in con sequence of the combined resistance of the manufactur ing interests, the Mersey Dock Board, and the trustees Of charitable institutions. But the Government have so fa r conceded the principle involved as to grant from the public revenue large sums in aid of the rates in those districts in which the large naval and military establish ments of the country are situated. "The churchwardens and overseers are glad to be able to state that they have' succeeded in obtaining rates from the dock trustees in respect of certain of the ' permanent berths,' or such portions of the estate as are appropriated to the exclusive use of mercantile firms." Mr. CROPPER moved that a halfpenny dock rate be laid in the present year again, as proceedings in the matter were still pending. Mr. Scorr seconded the motion, which was agreed to unanimously. A vote of thanks to the rector for presiding brought the proceedings to a close. ENGLISH OPERA AT THE THEATRE ROYAL. "Dinorab," as we anticipated, attracted a large audience. The theatre was crammed, and the audience appeared pleased; but if we were not critical we should be nothing; at the same time, it would scarcely be fair to pronounce an unfavourable_ opinion on the work of a celebrated composer, whose style is learned and elaborate, on the first hearing, we therefore confine ourselves to a record of our own first impressions, and the manifested feelings of the audience. The overture struck us as peculiarly unmeaning and ineffective, rind it 'certainly produced no effect upon the audience. The opening chorus, or rather the chorus before the opening—for it is sung before the curtain is drawn up, as if it were part of the overture,—is pleasing, but nothing more. It recurs at the end of the opera with better effect, but does not appear to be of either original or striking character. The opera, strictly so to be called, that is, after the curtain rose, dragged its slow length along, until, in the second act, Miss Pilling sung the goatherd's song, which is of very agreeable character, and was executed with great taste and expression. More than one bouquet was thrown to her, and the song was called for again, when she repeated it with equal effect, and brought down more applause and more bouquets. After this the opera again lagged till the last few bars, when the opening strain was repeated with advantage. As an opera, the impression upon us was most unsatisfactory, and certainly, except in the case of Miss Pilling, to which we have referred, no enthusiasm was excited .by the music. Mr. Harrison's acting, and Miss Pyne's elaborate execution, kept up what interest was taken by the audience, which certainly was not excessive. We reserve any other particular criticism until we have heard the opera again, as we presume i will be repeated. THE `DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1860. AMPHITHEATRE. Mr. Proctor appeared last night as Richelieu, before another crowded audience—the boxes being much better filled than on Mdnday night. The early part of the performance went rather heavily, and it was not until about the close of the fourth act that matters mended ,much, when both actors and audience became decidedly more lively, and mutually reacted upon each other with the most desirable good effect . At the close of the fourth act, when Barracks remarks, aside, as the disgraced and distracted Prime Minister retires from the scene— lila Mind And life are breaking fast ! and the Cardinal, overhearing him, taming back, breaks out with great vehemence— Irreverent ribald ! If so, beware the falling ruins ! Hark ! I tell thee, scorner of these whitening hairs, When this snow ingite!th there shall come a flood! Avaunt !my lam e Richelieu--I defy thee! Walk blindfold on; behind thee stalks the headsman. Ha! ha!---how pale he is. Heaven save my country. When the old man sunk, exhausted, into the aims of the Capuchin, there was u perfect thunder of applause, which did not subside with the fall of the drop-scene ; and there was no help for it but that Mr. Proctor should come before the drop and bow his acknowledg ments to the enthusiastic audience. The fifth act (of course) went off with dazzling ease ; and this popular actor was loudly called ou to receive, for the second time during the evening, the plaudits of the whole house. THE ST. SAVIOUR'S BAZAAR. Apart from the high respect in which the deservedly 6steemed incumbent of St. Saviour's is held by his con gregation, we were not surprised to find that the bazaar in aid of the fund for defraying the cost of the second infant school in the St. Saviour's district, was crowded from morning until night ;. that the money taken at the doors for.admission was large in . amount; and that the sales of beautiful articles of ladies' work far exceeded the • sanguine expectation of the promoters. We can cnly attribute the success of the bazaar to the innate love for the yet unblemished infant that exists in the breasts of sincere church-people, who know that if the child is not trained up in the way he should go, he will infallibly follow the dictates of desire, and in the end become a pest to society. Thus, we have in the minds of the thoughtful a high moral lever produced, which in its effect is of wonderful importance to us. The bazaar is' hit upon as the means to the end; it engenders kindly feelings as between the minister and the congregation, the friends of the uneducated child and the Church, and works an unspeakable amount of good in that direction. We earnestly trust that shall be the result of this under taking. The bazaar is being held in the Liverpool Academy Exhibition Rooms, Old Postoffice-place, and the spacious apartments have been tastefully 'decorated by the very skilful decorators in the employ of the eminent pro prietors of Compton-house. The stalls are Seven in number, the whole forming a circle, and each dis tinguished by letters of the alphabet. The stab were presided over by the following lad !

We need scarcely say that everything that ingenuity could suggest, or taste devise, has been done to make this a charming bazaar. the ladies' work is of the most superb description ; but there is, nevertheless, an abundance of extremely useful articles on the stalls. ,Bijouterie and articles of vertu, from all parts of the worlel, are to be found on. the richly laden stalls, and whilst the most humble taste can be accommodated, the most gorgeous and fastidious will and ample scope for the exercise of their acquisitive &cult!. The bazaar will remain open for two days longer, and as it com mends itself so strongly to the support of the general publio—for let it be remembered that the cause is that of the uneducated infant, the future parent—we can have no doubt but that it will be very largely patronised' THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY'S SPRING CATTLE SHOW. DUTILIN, April 10. The _Evening Post says. the spring cattle show of this year, held under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society, is the most successful, extensive, and illustra tive of the progress of agricultural science in •Ireland that has ever been presented in Dublin. The breeding stock, particularly in the short-horns section, are not only healthy and in fine condition, but perhaps the finest specimens of their respective kinds ever entered for eon/petition, The bulls in the short-horns section Ague—comprising 194 first-class bulls—are well worthy of having a show established for themselves. Two superb specimens are exhibited by the Earl of Charle- Mut. The cows and heifers in the West Highlands, Scotch poles, Ayrshire, and Alderney breeds are all most creditably represented. The , Anglo-Scotian attracts particular attention, as being exceedingly well recom mended. The Earl of Charlemont exhibits of bull of the true Kerry type ; and Sig Edward M'D . onnell a splendid collection of Kerry heifers and bulls. The show of fat stock consists of fat auction cows and heifers tivt shorkborn, Hertfordshire, Devon, Scotch, polled, aid, Keny varieties, besides various fine specimens of mixed breeds. The show of sheep is good; the specimens are numerous, and in fine condition, comprising not less than eighty lots, numbering 464 animals. The entries for poultry are numerous. The show of swine is not numerous, but the various kinds are well represented, The lawn of the Society House is set apart almost exclusively for the display of agricultural machinery and implements—steam engines, stationary and portable, for the more speedy preparation of the soil, and for the sowing, reaping, awl realisation of crops. The English contributions arc unusually numerous. Nothing can be finer than the agricultural implements displayed by Messrs. James and Frederick Howard, Britannia Works, Bedford, and by James Clayton, Shuttleworth, and Co., Lincoln. Liverpool, Manchester; Bristol, and other naanufacturing localities send in vast amounts of material for exhibition. The exhibition was thrown open to the public after three o'clock. 11051 E-MADE SHIRTS.--NOWICE.—AII Shirts made to order at the Golden Glove Establi,hment, 18, Derry-street, are made by Liver Pool Needlewomen. • d The Lora Mayor on Monday night gave the usual Easter banquet, at the, Mansion House.

(Before EDWARD JAMES, Esq., Assessor.) CARPENTER V. WATSON.—The plaintiff in this case was a boarding-house keeper in Charlotte-place, Salt house-lane ; and the defendant a shoemaker in this town. The action was brought to recover the sum of 112 7s. 9d.; as commission on goods supplied to sailors whom the plaintiff had introduced to the defendant. The defendant pleaded as a set-off that the accounts between himself and the plaintiff had been settled up to July, 1858. The jury allowed the set-off; and found a verdict for the plaintiff for £5 7s. 6d., the balance of the account. TURNER AND ANOTHER. V. VINE.—In this case the plaintiffs were the assignees of the property of a gentle man named Titherington, who formerly carried on businesa as a spirit merchant in this town. In the baginning of 1858 Mr. Titherington became involved in pecuniary embarrassments to such an extent that he found it necessary to employ the defendant, who is an accountant, to examine his books. In the course of this examination the defendant must have been aware that Mr. Titherington was insolvent, but notwithstanding his knowledge of this fact he had received from the insolvent four jars of spirits, which the assignees had never since been able to recover. Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Temple con ducted the defence. The first charge which the learned counsel for the plaintiffs endeavoured to prove was that there had been an illegal preference given to the 'defendant, and he should therefore have returned the spirits. Mr. Temple' objected to this proceeding of the plaintiffs' counsel ; the objection being allowed, Mr. Aspinall proceeded with his' case on the ground of a conversion or appropriation of a security. The facts of the case were briefly these:: — Mr. Titherington being indebted to the defendant for some professional services, sent to him, as security, four jars of spirits. These spirits were broken into, and from two to three gallons consumed by the defendant's family. The main point in the case was, whether the spirits were sent as a security which was to be returned when payment was made, or as a part payment of the debt. In the latter case, as the learned assessor ex plained to the jury, the plaintiff could not sustain his action.; but, if the former view of the case was taken the question would be, what was the amount and value of the spirits abstracted. The jury, after a short con sultation, found a verdict for the defendant. JORDAN v. HILLIER.—This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, to recover the sum of £l3 10s, which he, as the defendant's surety, had been compelled to pay to a loan company. The action was undefended, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. FENNELY 4'. TOBIN.—This was a claim for the sum of £l7l, alleged to be due to the plaintiff for boarding, clothing, &c. Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall for the defendant. It appeared that at the beginning of the year 1850• the defendant, who was mother-in-law to the plaintiff's wife, called upon him, and finally settled herself at his house, where she remained for about five years. During this time the defendant left plaintiff's house once or twice to travel by rail, and on such occasions her fare was paid. For the defendant it was pleaded that she had fully earned her board and lodging by working for the emigrants ; and in proof of this story the defendant was called, and she said that during her residence at the plaintiff's house she was constantly employed in mending the clothes of his boarders. It was also further contended, on behalf of the defendant, that there was no evidence of any agreement to pay the plaintiff for his board and lodging. The jury, after some deliberation, found for the defendant. ACTION FOR ASiAULT.—SPOONER t. SIMPSON.—III this case the plaintiff, William Spooner, sought com pensation for a number of injuries *hibh the defendant had inflicted upon him in thatgentleman'spublic-house. It appears that in consequence of an advertisement which appeared in the local papers, the plaintiff, who is owner of .the Ship Inn, went to the defendant's house, and had a conversation'respecting the sale of the adver- tised house. In the course of their interview they fell out, and, the plaintiff says, defendant struck him in such a way that one of teeth was shivered to atoms, his eyes turned conipletely black, and even his nose did not escape uninjured, for that prominent feature was slit up in a plurality of directions, which bore incontro vertible testimony to the strength of the assailant. The plaintiff further stated that after receiving all these insults he was brutally kicked by defendant. Upon further investigation, however,, it turned out that the case was one in which each party was to a great extent blameable, and the jury accordingly found for the plaintiff; damages one farthing.—Mr. Littler was for the plaintiff, and Mr. TemPle for the defendant. PROPOSED NEW PUBLIC OFFICES. PROTEST FROM TOXTETH-PARK. A public meeting of the ratepayers of Toxteth-park was held yesterday forenoon, at the Public-office, Park place, for the purpose of memorialising the Towu Council against the erection -of the Publle,oftices, in Dale-street, as proposed by the Health Committee • • requesting that the long prataised improv. , and ,Park-lane might be carried out. lir. 1— ' mutts in ' sided; and amongst the rateps- Alexander Miller " Hughes, J ' "J.

Hr _. oa y dr e r r . : jso p n, re j se j n os t sme w pi e ht : l 3 l jr f ia e l s sm srs oens: Mr. JOSEPIi HARRISON,a in introducing the subject, said he had stated to the Vestry that the enormous amount of £300,000 was to be borrowed by the Corpo ration for the new Public Offices and improvements ; , and be was informed that, in addition to this, any sur plus which might be derived from the Corporation for the next ten or a dozen years would be devoted to the same purpose. He considered the proposal a great hard ship to the Park, which would not be benefitted one farthing. He objected to the removal of the Public Offices from Cornwallis-street; and he thought it unrea sonable that they should be called upon to pay so large a sum for the petty convenience of some members of the Health Committee. (Hear, hear.) He would not object to improvements in Liverpool; but they must recollect that every low house which was pulled down in Liverpool increased pauperism in the out-townships. (Hear, hear.) Now, he could recollect the time when the local rates only amounted to ls., but they had now got up to 6s. He complained that the Council had not proceeded with .the improvements in Park-lane when they had the power. (A Voice : They had the power thirty years ago.) If they ought to pay anything at all to the rates, they ought to have a share of the good things that were going; They seemed in Toxteth-park to be isolated, and left alone with nobody to care for them. If their representatives really did their duty they should hear something of it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Graves, one of the members for. Pitt-street Ward, had acted in the matter of the improvement of Park-lane most zealously; he had never relaxed in his efforts, and he hoped to succeed in stopping any extravagant expenditure, and to see that Toxteth-park had its share of improvements. Mr. Harrison concluded by moving that a memorial be sent to the Council against the erection of the public offices in Dale-street, and in favour of proceeding with the improvements in Park-lane. Mr, HUGHES seconded the motion. The progressive taxatibn of the Health Committee had, he thought, reached its climax, and Toxteth Park should protest against it.. (Hear, hear.) ; How. was it they should be called upon to bear the cost of improvements in Dale street, when the rates In Liverpool proper were only is 8d as against 2s 8d for sanitary purposes in the Park ? It was time that a stand was made. He thought the out-townships in general ought to be up and doing. They had looked too much to the politics of their representa tives in times past ; but in future they should vote -for those who would keep down expenditure. dk The CHAIRMAN wished to remind the meeting that the Town Council had referred the plans of the Public Offices to a committee, to see if they could not be reduced ; and, after full discussion, the Council had decided that it was expedient to remove the Public Offices from Cornwallis-street. With regard to the widening of Park-lane, that was a matter which ought to have been done years ago. Mr. ALEXANDER MILLER said, on behalf of my brother overseers and self, being in the position of trus tees for the rate-payers, of this township, and further, being deputed by the Toxteth-park Local and General Improvement Association, of which I am president, I enter my protest with those gentlemen who signed the requisition for convening this meeting, against the extravagant and unnecessary expenditure of public money which is proposed to be laid out In the form of erecting large and commodious offices with splendid capacious apartments for the better accommodation of a few well-paid servants and inert councillors, who consi der it too much to fide, not walk, from Cornwallis-street to the Town-hall, or from the Town-hall to Cornwallis street,,though these same councillors, were we to meet them at the expiration of their term of office, or on the day of election, I'll venture to say they would be ready to tear off the rims of their hats in courteously saluting you, and would not object; if required, walking like . pilgrims* any distance—nay, more, without their shoes and staff—providing they could obtain a seat in the Council Chamber. I need 'not remind you of the plebeian garrulous twaddle and nonsense uttered by some of these gentlemen, more particularly when contrasted with the solid good sense displayed by others whose ability and sound judgment has raised them to the high position they hold in public estimation. I need not remind you of the audacious assurance of one gentleman who has made the most of his position in both the Town Council and on the Health Committee in connection with jerry builders, and who now wishes to strengthen his position and. the .jerrys by currying favour with the Head Constable, and in order to do it the more effectually, he positively proposed to raise the stipend of the worthy beadle before he intimated that he was the least dissatisfied with the salary he was receiving. Surely the apathetic owners of property, and rate-payers gene rally, will rouse themselves ,from their torpid stupor, and throwing politics to the wind, exert their utmost endeavour'to stem the tide which. has already swept away to a fearful extent the hard earnings of the inha- %UM=Xi&i bitants. In the remarks I have made, Ido not wish to be understood to speak disparagingly of erecting magni ficent edifices to beautify our town when we have funds at our disposal, much less would I advocate the principle of not fairly remunerating an efficient servant. But we do not require the buildings proposed, nor does our financial position justify such a procedure. Mr. ROBERTSON said that the proposal to remove the Public-offices had never received the slightest sanction from himself. On the contrary, he had given it his most decided opposition, and he thought the extent to which it was now proposed to go was perfectly ridicu lous. (Hear, hear.) He could assure them, as far as his vote and influence went, the present plans would have his most strenuous opposition. Mr. SMITH characterised the proposal as a wilful and gross expenditure of the rate-payers' money. - Mr. ~COURFIELD thought they should totally oppose the removal of the Public-offices, and liave no compro- Mr. S. R. GRAVES here entered the room, and was received with applause. , He stated that he was greatly interested in the subject of the widening of Park-lane. He was afraid, however, that smile misapprehension was existing on that particular point in the minds of the meeting. An idea had got abroad that it was not ____ ....... intended Co include the widening of the residue of Park-lane in the improvements that were going to be submitted to the Council. Now, no such intention existed, he was glad to say. The .widening of the whole of Park-lane was one of those subjects which had been already discussed and settled, by the, Council. The Council stood pledged to it, and he trusted in a very. few years to see the whole of the promises fulfilled. (Hear, hear.) He had seen the Town-clerk that morn ing, and he had authority for stating that it was the intention of the committee to include in any bill for ' town improvements the widening of Park-lane. At present they had the poWer, by consent, to wid en the ' whole of it; and the only alteration required would be to seek powers to take property by compulsion. lie Would, therefore, suggest that the word " priority" should be attached to•that part of the resolution refer ring to the improvements - in Park-lane. As to the re moval of the Public Offices, he had at first opposed the measure;' but, after the deliberate vote of the Muriel!, and mature consideration, he had come to the conclu sion that it would be advantageous to centralise the Public Offices. The motion, embracing the suggestion made by !dr. Graves, was put to the meeting, and agreed to unani mously. Votes of thanks to Mr. Robertson, Mr. Graves, and he Chairman, terminated the proceedings. BANKRUPTS. George Oldfield, Robert Oldfield, and lolAtt Clark, Lich field, millers and corn dealers.

AN EASTERN GENERAL'S NOTION Or CANISTER.— There is a good story told of Meolraj, a native East Indian general. His followers took from the English a lot of hermetically-sealed provisions in tin cases, and not seeing the like before, he mistook them for canister shot, and fired nothing from liis guns for three days but fresh lobsters, pickled salmon, and other delicacies, supplying the .British camp, which he was trying to starve into a surrender with a shower of the freshest English provisions: FEARFUL FALL INTO THE SEA AT SCARBOROUGH.-- A most appalling accident (which has not terminated fatally, as might have been expected) has just occurred here. A private of a detachment of the 45th Regiment, now stationed at the Castle, while walking near the edge of the cliff in the castle-yard, was either blown or fell over into the shallow water among the rocks, the 401 rising here to the hei g ht of 305 feet.

He went to have his likeness taken at a pho tographer's, and put on his surplice in an ante-room. When ushered into the manipulating room, he wan not a little; disconcerted on seeing a Circassian beauty, in full costume, chained and on her knees, her countenanoe,es , pressing the pleadings of a broken-hearted girl ail:being dragged before the llfussulman proprietor of a happy harem family. The rev. gentleman, as soon as he had recovered from his surprise, took an interest in the high art proceeding, and ventured to suggest that the veil fell too much across the face. " Would you kindly show me what you mean ?" The rev. gentleman was kind enough to do so. The flash of electricity was wickedly employed; for to his horror it.may be related, if h e sees this anecdote, that the popular preacher has bead taken in dramatic attitude, with a Circassian slave appealing to him to release her from her thraldom. Thi s i s a pri vate studio joke, and will, doubtless, never go further. —Court Journal. MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT AT .YORK. ---A very melancholy accident has occurred on the river Ouse, near York. A young woman, named Clar a H ampson, whose parents reside in Manchester, and wh o h as acted I as shopwoman in the wholesale millinery establishment of Mr. Purdy, of York ; Jabez Davies, a clerk to Mr. McCulloch, coal agent to the Great Northern Railway; and Jonas Smith, in the service of the North-Eastern Railway Company, hired a boat at King's Staith, for the purpose of proceeding up the river. Davies took the oars, Miss Hampson sat near the stern of the boat, and Smith sat behind her for the purpose of steer ing. After the party had reached the curve of the river near the Waterworks, about a mile and a half from the place where they had started, Smith, at the request of Davies, rose for the purpose of having a turn at the oars. As he was passing up the boat his foot caught in Miss Hampson's dress. The young lady imme diately arose to her feet, when the boat becoming suddenly overbalanced, Smith fell backwards in the water, followed by Miss Hampson. The latter in her struggles in the water seized the former by the throat, and they went to the bottom together. Smith, however, by some means liberated himself, and, on rising to the surface a second time, was saved by Davies. 'Miss Hampson was only_seen once after she first sank, and, abOut tuilio - ur afterwards, was taken out a corpse. At the inquest, it was stated that only a few minutes before the fatal occurrence, whilst joking. with her com panions, Miss Hampson had remarked,' " If I should fall overboard I should not drown on account of my crinoline." A verdict of " accidental death by drown ing" was returned. A CRY OF ANGUISH FROM IRELAND.—The.DubIin Nation, speaking of . the renewed stream of emigrati on setting out from Ireland, exclaim's :—" And, God of Justice ! this goes on—this most mournful spectacle of all modern times—proceeds without a voice being raised in Europe, where crowned gamblers load th e di ce, and play, and heat with Italy's cry of angui s h' on th e i r li ps. What grief has Italy to compare with this ? What testi mony, of oppression has ever been seen upon her plains to compare with this exodus of a whole race ? It is one of the penalties of misfortune that the lazy beggar may mimic by his whine the cry of actual suffering, and parody the words of its petition. So Ireland, while her hard-working, patient, faithful people prove daily the depth of their anguish and the reality , of their oppression, must hearken to the indolent compounds of half beggar half highwayman, who, calling them selves Italy,' shout to Europe about their cry of anguish' Anguish! In one hour upon our quays during the past week more anguish might be seen, the result of heartless misgovernment, than in Italy during half a century. And this steady disappearance of a whole people, this flight without a parallel in the records of oppression, goes on beneath the hand of England— England that meanwhile swaggers in Naples as a monitor of rulers—a friend of suffering subjects ! Is there no Sovereign in Europe with humanity enough left to raise a voice for a brave and virtuous nation perishing --dis appearing for ever from their own land—while the power that sways their destinies with brazen hypocrisy struts abroad as a firebrand revolutionist, inflaming populations. against their legitimate and paternal native rulers ! Is there no Sovereign in Europe with chivalry left to tell this false-faced incendiary to look at her own shores-- to look upon her own subjects flying heartwrung and despairing from a land which it is to them all but death to leave ? Will no humane king tell her to listen to the cries, to mark the tear's, of those poor emigrants, and account before God and man why it is that they Must quit for ever the land of 'their fathers ? Is there, oh ! Europe, no one of all your Princes to hearken to 'lreland ' s cry of anguish ?' SUBsTITUTO Felt COTTON.—The annual report of the Secretary of State on Foreign Commerce, for 1859_, con tains a despatch from F. s: Cliatori, - Our consul it MO; cow, in relation to the economical use in Russia of a fibrous plant as a substitute for cotton in the manufac ture of coarse cloths. This plant, whose botanical name is Ascelepias Cornuti, he states, is said to be a native of Canada, to grow wild and without cultivation, and, after undergoing a process, as yet a secret, to be in every way suitable for manufacturing purposes. The sample of the cloth T have seen, and of which a specimen is promised me, compared favourably with cotton goods, Nos. 50 to 60 "picks" to the inch. It is represented as a hardy plant, withstanding well the climate or this latitude, and is propagated fison' seed sown in May and maturing in September`; it is then cut and dried in the open air, or water rotted, like lump, to , L be afterwards broken .`and husked in the s ame manner. Its subsequent treatment is the secret of the inventor, who has the sole privjlege in Russia for ten years, 'which he has disposed of at a large price, and which he Foposes ,securing by patent in England and Fr a ffe e. , The estimate put upon the value of this process for the United States is extravagant, con sidering the price of cotton and its probable deprecia tion, in case all th a t i s c l a i me d for the invention is realised. I think the secret may be purchased by a little management f or 2,000 or 2,500 roubles. The inventor admits that to manufacture wholly from this material will involve some changes in the "speeders and spinners," but asserts that, mixed in equal proportions with ordinary cotton, no change will be necessary. lie estimates the cost, all labour,. &c, included, at four (kopecks per lb.---one hundred copecks equals one rouble, States Economist, one rouble seventy-five cents.— United ssgrating 3itttiligtna.
