TOWN COUNCIL, A. special meetirg of the Town Council was held in the Town Hall, at eleven o'clock, cn E_laturday, fir the purpose of fix;ng a day fir the monthly meeting, in const (pence of the Queen's Proclsmatiiin having fixed We inesday next fo:. the cliq of general fast and hum liation. The Mayor, Frenc!s Shand, Ef q , presided. The ATAYon, in is fpw words, explained the object of the meeting, and s. ggetled that next Friday would be a con venient day for the meetiog of the Council. Me. lioussr said he would move that the standing - orders be suspended, and Friday fixed mcordinkly fir the day cf meeting. Mr ROBERTSON GLADSTONE a-ked if there was any objection to the appointment of Wednesday week for the meeting. Toe Cuor ca would r ecollect, that for every day in ths week, with the exception of Wednesday. committees were apdointed, awl it was extr:: . niely inconvenient to indivi •ual members of the Council, as well m, he thought, injnrioits to the public interests the, the regu lar routing should be interfered with, (near, hear.) There coal be very little differenea between Friday and Wed -nes lay as far as the business of the Council was concerned. They would have another Council at the end of the month for winding up the basiness of the year, and be did not think any inconvenience could result 'from the delay from Friday to Wednesday. At the same time, for himself, be should take that opportunity of saying that h could not discover, really, what that. C tuned had to do with the order , for humiliatim and prayer. Of the necessity for humili ation and pm; er, and the duty which was iticutnbent upon each r f them in respect of those two object-, he did not pretend to bold any coration for a moment. 800, con sidering that the pia-ties really in fault were the East India Company, who had had golden oppor tunities of doing good. but had neglected and abused the trust rep)ssd in them, why other parties were to be held responsible, in the r 4 glit of God, for the acts t f that ct m-any, was ready a matter which he for ore conkl not e,rnp . rehn He did not purplse upon thi.n owasi;•xn going into are tubject. He felt lAry sti ongly up )12 it, and perhaps ( n no point more than this did he outer his protest against it than because a day in the werk was selected, a day of labour, when th 3 poorer eas•!.3; must of necessity be the sufferers by the lass of that day's w. , rk Why they could not have imiwed their brethren of the Roman Catholic Church, and fixed Snr dsy m a day of humiliation, he could nt,t comprehend. 11)werer as it Was posstble another cpp ,rtnnity might preient its=elf for g ing into the matter, he would reset vs himself for that occasion, ri he MAYOR said he did rot thin'i that there c Ad be any objection to Wednesday next. Mr, BANNKR thought it would throw the C3nncil meeting ra her late in the month. . Mr. Efoniox approved of th 3 aaj)urnment t 3 Wednesday week. Th 3 ArAY)ft remarked that his time would, pi obablv, 133 fully occupied during the ensuing week with attending to tho Municipal Clurt. Mr. Alderman Coorwnsaid be believed he elyntld have to &lend- daily for four or five days in the visi ,n C. urt to defend his v0!.3. To his great annoyance, although a burgess of twenty-four years' statv'ing, he would have to give up his time in th.t manner, by daily attendance at the court, in order to maintain his vote. Mr. Kr, cuts : I dare say a g-eat many of ut are in the same position, The. MAYOR presumed the Council would ogres to fix Wednesday week for the day of meeting. No objection being further u-ged the Councl adjourn.d Wedneday week accordingly. CORONER'S COURT.

Mr. A snworret 'sal; plea the health Mayer had as him to ttis terlders of Bro ler Jonathan—the Pr • Ildessre eg'a • - —kuea*, near) —wile deserved so much credit for the vasei they had that day launched. If, however, honesty and ability were ingeedieets of success, these gentlatnen possessed all in an! eminent degree. (Cheers ) Ttseir energy an ',enterprise. g'addeeed the hearts of their friends, and ehewed that they were equal to meet the necessity of any -case thae might arise, and success was the . result. (Hear, hear.) The vessels buil: by them gave the greatest satisfaction, far they never dono things by halves —they stopped not entil they were successful. He then prepooed the firm, ane wished them every success. The toast, was drunk with all the honours.. Mr. OGLE (one of the firm) returned thanks, and said— he could hardly find woids to express his obligations. He felt that one of his partners, (\lr. Robiusoni, who was older than he was, Mould have performed the duty, but he felt relieved of . mach Anxiety during tie la-t hour. ((leer, hear.) No doubt all felt anxious to know how the vessel would "go cif,' and as she did go oil so well, he was relieved of much anxiety. (Hear, hear.). That was a great comfort, hut when he heald the owno s express their approbation of her, it emb;rras,ed him again, and he, almost knew not what to say. They had alt seen the hull of the vessel, so of that he need not epeek. The e.""gines were made with' equal care and strength, and perfecly adapted to the vessel. So, the ship and the engines were fitted to each other, and, like vol mai and wife, would s ;ck to each other f.tr Ffe. (Cheers and laughter.) He then alluded to ship bu;:ding at Preston, and said it seemed herd to bring peope to believe that ships were really built at Prete,: n, but it was 'a fe t after all. (Hear, and laughter.) And all for whom they had built ships expressed their eatisfamien at the manner in which the wo , k was perrorrned (tfe%r. hear.) On the same " ways" that Brother Jonathan had been lauached from, another vessel would be laid down in a few days, and, he trusted, it would not be long until the: would be asgernbled there again • to fling another bottle of wine at her head, too. (Cheers.) _That was a fac., ard ha hoped . aft r this that I people would believa ships ware actually built at Preston. ( fleae, hear.) It was also a source of great setisfecrion to him to kno at that the connection of the firm with the United Steam Tug Company gave seti4action to that body, and their Captain (Nywton), who was not- a• man that could be misled in a'ly way.. (Hear, hear.) His practical knowledge gave him superior p tw.ert, and he woull no; say a word that wa not correct in all respects. Ha meant what he said and nothing else. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he aasured the assembly that the Cl 3 de, the Thames, nor the Tyne, should ever beat Preston in meverials and work manship, and, having duly thanked the company, he sat down amid loud applause [The Dilavoa having been called nut on public haziness, the chair was talon by Me Ashworth.] Me. Routssorr, one of the fine of Ogle anti Co , also re . tuned thanks. He said he attended to the engine depart ment of the concerns, and it was eleven years since he commenced, and, duritg that period, he bad made 150 engines of all sorts—amine, locomotives, and factory— (bear, hear)—amounting in the aggregate to over 30 000 horse power. They were made from 30 to 600 and 1,000 horse pewee. (Ilea-, hear) Nine were marina engines. So that the house was not quite a novice in making engines, and he c , uld assure them the engines made for the boat were about the hst he ever made of between two and three hundred horse-power. (Loud cheers.) Out of all these engines there was not a word of complaint, and in the pre;ent case he had no doubt that engines and ship would, as had Ixten remarked welt h srmoniously tegathee, like man and wife. (.Cheers) He then thanked the company, and sat down amid cheering. Wirt,t tat OGLE also returned thanks. Mr. Jour/ Da CesTs, of Liverpool, being called on to propose a toast, said he felt great pleasure in doing so, and he would therefore, give them " The Health of Captain J. C. Stouffer, cf the Antarctic," the g .ntlae_an alio bad performed the interes'ing ce-emony of baptising Brother Jonathan. • (hear, hear.) It would, perhaps, be interest ing for them to know that the .:Pant and brave conduct of that gen - lenian had aav:d the lives of 300 soldiers fr tm the wreck of the San Francis le, that was burnt at sea over two years yr. (Cheers.) -It was true that he (Captaln Stotiffer) belonged to the Unite States--(hear, hear) - but he took a deep interest ia the prosperity of the Company, and his ardent wish was, that B other Jonathan would be as prosperous in all her voyages as she was on her first voyage that day into the water. (Hear, bear.) Besides being a brave and generous A merican g-ntleman, he had that day performed the cffice usually assigne i t r ladies, in as graceful and feminine style es any lady—God bless tly-m ail —could have done - (cheers and laughter) —and no one was more c-p kble of doing. that duty than the Captain, and it was a pleaeure to have such a gentleman among them, who heard from competent authority that neither the Thames nor the Clyde eonld beat Preston in the product on of fine vess4s. (Cheers.) He was glad, also, t) find, by the presence of several gentleman connected with the press, that the proceedings of .he day would not oily be male knew.i though Greii Brilain, hitt would be eireulatei through the United States --(hear, hear)—and that would sho M what WS3 doing in Preston (Hear, hear.) tie had great pleasure in giviog the " krealvi of Cap',ain Stouffer.

BEFORE MANSrItLD, Wm; DESICRTION.—TEIOO2IS Dei ViSS, of 21, Bevington Hill, was brought up by Air. Williams, relieving. officer. and out. door inspector Hughe., ch•-2rged with having, is April last, deserted his wle and family, who became chargeable to the parish a week ago. The prifoner was found working at Cecsby, upon a farm belonging to his brother. He complained. in defence of himself, that his wife had sold :a horse and fhat belonging co him, and that she had beau living with another man. The wife was herself examined, and psitively denied both the allegations. Th 3 prisoner was orderad to be rent to gaol for one month with hard labour. _ _ _ . THE DAY ow GENIERAL FAST.—Mr. Mansfield stated, in answer to Mr. B uck that he would act in regard to Wed nesday next as he did on Good Friday--open the 'court at ten o'clock, only far light cases, each as drunk and dis orderly cases; and then adjourn. He did not Think he thoald be treating the Qaeen's procleimation with sufficient respect if he di I not make any divinetion between . that day and others. He added that he did not thiuk there would be any occasion foe the attendance of professional gentlemen. ' A Deeraiiiiiiiteea — Col TIIIEVEEY.—A man named Nixon William was brought up. -charged with having stolen a boss tap from on board the screw steamer lonia. balenging to Illeetsrs Peep;anni and Mussabini, lying in dock The pries tour, it a peered, walked on beard the vessel, deliber Ately unecrewed the tap and waked away with it. He had gene some 'distan'ee befoee it wee discovered vibes. he had been doing. Ha was then followed and the tap found in hie pessession. It was stated that the tap belonged -to the engine, and that if a . fire broke out on board the vessel, its loss might have entailed very serious c msequencee. Mr. Mansfield said this was ono of these things which chewed how necessary it was to repress thievery. Here was a trumpery piece of • brass, worth not more than half-a crown, and because ' a fellow choose to carry it off,, if afire broke out in' the, vessel, which carried pa.steni,ere, three or four' hundred persons might possibly have 1 - At their lives. He ordered the prisoner to be imprisoned f)r three, months with hard labour, and aided that he intht consider himself very leniently dealt with. MAre crone Peosecui ore - -George Dowbell, a bailiff, in the empleyeef Mr.' Kirby, sheriff's offL-er, Silks charged by Isebella Harreld. a girl of the town with stealing a silk epeon and two broochee. The prisoner, with two other bailiffs, went to the brothel in which the prosecutor lived, in Frederick-street, to exacta's) a distress warrant for 3s. 9d. Two of the bailiffs, se ernpanied by the keep r of the house. went to pledge some clothes, f r the purpose of raising the money, and the prosecutor alleged that while they were out the prisoner, who h id rem fined in possession, went up stairs and opened a box, and took a Bilk apron in which the brooches were r died up. Mr. Black appeared for the prisoeer, and said that he would prove that there was not a mere respectable man in his bueiness in Liverpool. Mr. Clough said that when the parties came to the Police Office to prefer the complaint, their first charge was of illeg+lly pledgibg. but they afterwards changed it to that of robbery. The only witness to' support the charge of robbery was a 'girl, who said she saw the prisoner lift tha lid of the box, but though she promised to attend the Court that morning, she yet strangely absented herself. The warrant was served to get the people out of the house, which sves a brothel, and in ost disorderly, and the prix tier always bore a Most respectable character. His piece waz immediately sesrebed, but no trace of the property was found. Mr. Mansfieli said there could be.no doubt that it :was a malicious and malignant prosecutio-, for the perpose of annoying Dowbell because of hie having served the warrant. It might be that, on- consideration, Mr. Black and his client might think proper to institute a prosecution against three parties for conspiracy. It , was °dap to Diwbell's character that it should, be done. and it was also important that the powers of criminal jostice shouhl not be made available for the purposes of annoyane's bse such eii- , greeeful strumpets and the bawds ..who maintained them. Dowbell wee dschit-ged. Severely) FttO)f TIS DUCK'.—A • man named Thomas M‘Guinitss was charged with stealing c , ppar fc qta the Sandoa Graving Dock, and committed for threeettenthe as ngne and vagAb mi. Mr. M4,:a,field a-ked why it wecr that such parties weie not keet out of 'he graving dock? They had as litle right to go there as into any priirau work yard.. Mr. Clough replied that if th t graving deck, were under the charge of the regeler police such persons would be prevented frou. entering than. T, e docks were a' present under the charge of the dock rollers, who ea* appeiroted by the Dock Trus'ees, and they were mere cyphers in preventing such parties from frequenting th 3 docks. Mr. M tnefiall said it should be ,represented to ilia authorities, for scarcely a week passel without parties twing brought up for theft from the graving decks. A "loafer," na ned J.lues Hughes, was placed in the deck, charged with !Pealing a number of plates from the ship Tiptree, now lying in the Wepping Dock It appeared that the prisoner was Seatenced, in 1853, to ten yeses' trantportation for coining, but obtained IA ticket-of leave some time since. The meta of the vessel com plained •cf the annoyance which they suffered in the doCke from Bitch pert;e I, who stole everything they could Jay hands on. Mr. Mansfield thought the' police shout l be instructed to being up parties who had been elm- mitted to priori, and were, hfer their d•szha,rge, to be found about the 'docks. Jf such persons were brought • before him, he would commit them as vagrants for three months. Nir. Clough. said that such an order.. W 9,9 issued in Mr. Bushtcn's time, but that it was carried too far, and many poor men in consequence were prevented from earning their livelihood. The officer, before tvresting any r-f such parties, should be sr.ti,ll:d t`sat hi 3 object in going about the docks was not to seek enploymant, but with a telonius intention, and therein lay the diffieu!ty. Mr. Mansfield recommended that the - matter sh - .:uld be mentioned to, Major Greig. RICCKLESS DRIVING —A young lad, named Wlliam . • WoldA, driver of a .* privg-t;trt, .the do;•k . „ . charged with causing the enathof a cluld, by driving ever, ir, in Parliament-street, on Friday night.

Even after this awful and painfil event, the prisoner' still drove on, and it was only at er the ti3liceman, by swift running, headed the cart, that he stopped.

Mr Tytriall appeared' - for the prmecution Mr. Black appeared for the defendant, and called witnesses to show tl.at he was out of town on the day the erasure was alleged to have been made. Eluperintendent Murphy, of the Sailors' Rome proved, however, that he not only saw him, but hid him under surveillance on that day. Mr Mansfield said, he had no doubt that :his practice had been exceedingly contra* in Liverpool, and the off,nce had not been hithert looked after with the vigilance which it des rved He had no doubt that it was worth the while of the def-ndant to run the risk, even for the small sum of 24., but, for the future, parties would be shown thst such c: - induct way . attended with very great p -ril. The defendant should thin me pay £2O and costs, or be imprisoned for two months. ASS MVP BY A BOARDING lIOIPE KRIIPER ON A SAlrar/It Wdliam Eheridan, bultdir g hone kseper of Gibraltsr row, was cha;gad.with having commit e i a series of un provoked eP saults on a .seaman, name].

He was paid off at the Sailors' Home, on the 19 h, but, acting on' good advice, instead of taking away his moaev ha banked it at the Dome. When the defendant learned this, he at once, even in the neighbourhood of the Efoins, knocked down the complainant, and when they returned to Gibraltar row, he, aided by his wife and a third pa , ty, again assaulted Davidson. put hint in irons, and kept him a close prisoner until Monday the 218 t, whp be 1y45 duced to go to this home and draw hie money. The first assault was clearly proved, but from the evidence of shipmate, and a• fellow-lodger,: Davidson's ao^..:,ant of the subsequent tram sac. ion was rather apocryphal. • Ile, lo,ked a thorough old salt; the mangier in which he detailed his mishaps, and the dangers which he had passed through, was most amusing; but his intellects seemed none of the clearest. Mr. Campbell appeared for the defence, rid suggested that he must have dreamt, whilein his cups, of having been placed in it The defendant was fined for the first assault £5, e.r two months imprisonment.

Scarcely had our townsmen made themselves acqhainted with the facts which we published in our last, with reference to the condition of the Hull Flax and Cotton MiUs—its decline from an apparent state of exuberant prosperity to one of disastrous collapse - than they were alarmed and astounded by an announcement of a far more portentous character. Last Thursday mooning, -instead of the resunap ion of business, at the rteual hour, Messrs. Harrison, Watson, and Co., the bankers, .of No 54, Whitefriargete, in this town, posted up a notice to the effect that they were under the necessity of suspending their paynae ate. This came on the town like a thunder-clap. Up' to the very moment of closing, the bank had maintained the highest reputation. Not the eleghtest suspicion of the inte grity of the partners o, the solvency of the firm hao been entertained It was known that the two principals we. e lauded proprietors of same extent, and coupled with the fret that the bank was 'chiefly one of deposit, we may simply say that its character was on a-par with that of any 'eatataishment in Hull. On Thursday, then, the whole town was moved from its peepriety, as well it might be. Knots of basine's men were evoryWhere to be seen dis cussing the various rimy: Airs which were allele. The Cotton M.ll collapse, the anonymous though perfectly well -underetood proeeedings in. the Bankruptcy Court on Wed nesday (which we reported in tier last), and the closing, of the bank in q-iestione seemed to be immediately connected with each other; and out of that sudden and lamentable conjuncture.'spennletion found eb mdance of food where with to cram public ru flour. Ner di I this cease for s 3 days ; nor, in fact, has it ceased yet. One cause of Messrs. Harrison and Watson's suspension was said to bs the fact that theyiwere under heavy advanced to the. moribund Cotton Mills ; another statement was to the effect that the advances: to the Cotton Mill Company amounted to only £22,000, and that the etoppege had -been precipi tated by. the' fact that two depesitors, whose united balances reached £70,000 ; wished •to draw out' a .large proportion of • them. We believe that neither of these statements is correet. Tee suspension cross from other circumstances. ' It is confidently stated that the whole of Wedoesday'a business was completed in due form, and that ; teeth as regards theiraull business (with one 'exception) and the London agency, 'nothing omit-rod to precipitate the bank's elesing. Wednesday week's preceedioge, - whicO were well known to have reference to Me. H. S. Bright, furnish the best aolathen this lamentable catastrephe. A.s soon 119 the suspension was anuouncel, most extraordinary rumours of the balk's liabilities came into circulation, and 'various' estitnwes were formed as to the prebable dividend which wou d . accrue to the 500 depositors whose confidence had to uedeviatingly been extended to it. There were not wantieg those who refused to believe anything but that the event had been caused by unwonted pressure, arid.becauee the per nets were noti able in ainoinent to extricate thenneelves from a • sudden concentration 'of diffieulties:• ' But it ie not too much to say that, ae every day revelled the existence of other depositor., some of theta to a serious aniennt, so vanished' the hope of a resumption of business by the bank, and the payment In fell of all demand , ., as atfiret ant'cipated.

Hassell, another of the C otton Milt directors, is on their bo Ice to the extent of £130,000. We 'are not in'a peeitierrto contradict either of these statements. But we may add, that the joint slim', owing on these • two ac :milts, is 'something verging on a quarter of a million of money. - Of theliabilities and assets of the bank, no statement has yet been issued; but reports place the fi at ra about £400,000, and the available assets t £225000. -The lande I property of IVIr.

Of the effect of this disaster upon the trade of the town for the remainder of the se at, there unfortonately is but one opinion Nor can there be arty doubt that. the calaimity will be severe to maly individnale. whose ``entire resources wore looked up in the concern: One very . sad case was menti - med the other day with reference to the -failure of the British Bank. • Three ladie., pest the prime of life, had quite sufficient to live comfortably on for their lives, but it was all invested in B hide Bank shares ; every penny is 1 and even their furniture was been taken, and they are now in situations ail governesses. Were went liberty to publieh names, we c mid give instances equally as 'pains, ful, in the ease of the bank Under notice—where the entire savings of in .ny years have been 'swept away at once, and - when teeMing•peverty has soddenly fatten upon those who up to this day week esteemed themselves in safe p Seesi,ion of a comfortable reso _tree. In addition tcethel6s.es individuals in this way sustained, the various friendly societies find themselves serious loeers. The West bulk of them deposited their eurpin4 foud3 in al essrs. e llarrison, Watson, and Co.'s bank. We ate inforMed that-the ameetat of the Shipwrights' Eociety deposit was ne less than £925. The Manchester 'Unity of aid Fellows is a loser • to a very seri nis extent. Nine lo gses of this ,soeiety were depositora to the amount of -£2,250, which with the large sum of £705 belengiug, to the eviJows', and orphans' fend of that body, :.makes a total -of £2.955, It is true that this is only apportion of their funds,, but she,on ly amount ef the latter 'fund at present in the treasurer's hands is £55 Us.

The •-uspension of the fine of Messrs.
