At a time when the Government is adopting every pos sible means to centralise its power of action at 'Whitehall, the Local Marine Board at Liverpool has set an example that will tell with some effect upon the,despotic authority of the Board of Trade t and hfrards another insa):ee of the manner in which it ..t;riutd c':i.er6ise its tower over other branches of local eovernmant, if once placed w;thin its grasp. The posi tion of the Local Marine Board at f ,i7erpoal cannot be viewed as an isolated case which has no bearing upon the general interest of the coontrv, f.)r it is purely a national one. The story is easily told, and the consequences are sufllc;ent to speak for themselves. For some . . time past there has been a differenca of opinion existing between the Local Marine Board, and the authorit'es of the Board of Trade, with respect to the salary of a very worthy person, Mr. Towson, their secretary, who, by his knowledge iked industry, is justly en,itled to the Consi deration of his townsmen ; and it was the opinion of the Local Board that Mr. Towson's arduouS duties entitled him to an increase of salary; to thiS the Board of Trade have refused to accede, on what ground we cannot tell; But we cannot supooge that its conduct has been very agreeable, when it is found necessory for the whole of the gentlemen who comprise the Local Board to resign. We ha , e always considered the extension of . power c inferred upon the .Board of Trade one of the most den gerols tendencies of .modern legislation; for there is an appeuance of local authority, it, exists only in name, and here we have an illustration. A number of merchants, who rank amongst the most respectable and influential men of the largest port in the .TJnited King dom, and treated as if they were only so many tools to perform the biddinq of a few individuals, *hose Combined knowledge i tars , .

It is, in deed, to much for the logic of a man of philosophic and reason. " Yours, " Dn. Rms." This respectable gentleman would thurst his services on the English authorities, and was sent about hig busi ness. The testitnoney of such men, and of tar worse scoundrels than such men; Was studiously hitched together, and the result was—what we know. It has been said that the journalists of England have blown up this quarrel by angry periods. Here is the American notion of moderation exemplified. The extract is from the Pennsylvanian, quoted by Mr. Crampton:— " 'England for centuries has been bullying and bribing the world ; " her insolence is astounding.' In the Pacific, in the Atlantic, on the Isthmus, everywhere, that haggard voluptuary, Great Britain, who has been so long drunk with the blood of other nations, that she now reels and totters with her own inanity, glares upon us with her red eyeballs, and bids us depart.' England is a harlot'—' a whitened sepulchre,' &c. Sir Gaspard le Marchant and Mr. 'Crampton are 'base conspirators,' and, in the opinion of the editor, a disgrace to the Order of the Garter,' to which, he thanks God, he, being a simple Republican, does not belong.'

The Knights Brethren of the order having been robed in their mantles of green velvet, and wearing also their gold collars, assembled in the Green Drawing-room. The Queen and Prince Albert entered the Throne-room, in which the chapter was held, and her Majesty was conducted by the Lord Chamberlain to a chair of state. The Queen wore her mantle or green velvet as sovereign of the order, together with the collar, and the Prince Consort also wore the mantle and collar of the order. His Royal Highness was seated on the Queen's right. The Knights Brethren were then called over by the Secretary of the Thistle, when the following answered :—The' Earl of Aberdeen, Earl of Rosebery, Duke of Montrose, Earl of Elgin, Earl of Eglinton, Duke of Atholl, and Lord Pantnure. The Queen signified her royal pleasure touching the election of a Knight into the order. The Knights Brethren proceeded to the election, and the suffrages having been collected by the secretary (ending with the senior Knight), were presented to the Soverein, who was pleased to declare the Most Noble George Douglas Duke of Argyll had been duly elected a Knight of the most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle. By command of the Queen the Duke of Argyll was received at the door of the Chapter-room by the Duke of Atholl and Lord Pan:pure, the two junior Knights present, and conducted between them to her Maj►sty, preceded by the secretary (carryinz the ensigns on a crimson velvet cushion) and the Gentleman Usher of the Green Rod. The Sword of State was delivered to the Sovereign by the Marquis of Breadalbane (Knight of the Thistle), Lord Chamberlain ; and the Duke of Argyll, kneeling, had the honour of Knighthood con ferred upon him by the Queen, and his grace, rising, kissed her Majesty's hand. The secretary of the order administered the oath to his grace. The Duke of Argyll again knelt near the Queen, and the secretary presented to the Sovereign the Green Riband and Jewel of the Thistle, and her Majesty placed the same over the duke's left shoulder, and under the right arm, after whien his grace had again the honour to kiss her Majesty's hand. The Chapter being ended, the secretary, by command of the Sovereign, again called over the knights, who, with the officers of the order, retired from the royal presence— ' Prince Albert rode on horseback with the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, took a drive in an open landau and four, in the afternoon. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, honoured the Princess's Theatre with their presence in the evening. BUCKINGHAM PALACE, Saturday.—His excellency Baron Brunow, 'the Russian Minister, arrived at the palace about a quarter before three o'clock this after noon, to have an audience of the Queen. His excellency was shortly followed by Lord Clarendon, who presented the Baron to her Majesty. His excellency appeared in the Russian diplomatic uniform—dark blue with silver embroidery, and wore the insignia of a Knight Grand Cross of a Russian order of knighthood. After his audience the Russian Minister returned to Chesham place. Her Majesty gave a dinner to a distinguished circle in the evening, comprising her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Northumberland, the Marchioness of Ely, Lady Mount Edgcumbe, Lord Waterpark, Lord Spencer, Sir Edward Bowater, and the Hon.

A despatch from the Earl of Clarendon tr, Mr. Dallas, dated Foreign Office, April 30, es the correspondence, from which we make the 1856, do' follow= ing extracts, which show the precise 'situation in w } ':ich the dispute between the tWO countries at present stands : "The real questions at it - sue between her Majesty's govertm'ent and that of the United States are, whether the British government ordered or contemplated any violation of the neutrality laws of the United States ; whether if the British government did not order or contemplate such violation, those laws were nevertheless violated by p-rsons acting with the authority or approbation of the British government ; and, lastly, whether, if any vi elation of the law of the United States did take place, sufficient satisfaction has been givon by the government of that country, "In regard to the first point, the British government neither ordered nor contemTlat , A any violation whatever of the laws of the Milted States, but, on the contrary issued the most positive and rep-ated orders that those laws should not be infringed by any person acting under their iutbnrity "Tnr j egard to the second point, Mr. Marey.alleges that, notwithstanding the orders of the British government, officers and agents of that government did within the United _ _ States do things which were. a violation of the neutrality laws of the United States, Old Mr. Marcy specifically makes this charge against her Majesty's consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelnii;a, and New York " With respect to Mr. Crampton, the undersigned has to s'a'e that Mr. Crampton positively and distinctly denies the charge brought against him; he declares that he' never hired, or retained, or engaged a single person within the United States for the service of her Majesty, and that he never countenanced or encouraged any violation of the law of the United States. The charge brought agAnst Mr. Crampton is mainly founded upon evidence given by Strobel on the trial of Herz, and on the so-called conies. inn of Hertz himself. One of these p?rsons Strobel, was, in conscuence of his misconduct, dismissed from employ ment by the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, at Ilali- fox, atid - afterwards applied to Mr. Crampton, and en deavoured to extort money from him by a threat, which was of course disregarded. The undersigned has the honour to transmit, as inclosures to this note, documents which suf ficiently prove that both Strobel and Hertz are wholly unworthy of credit. It is impossible for her Mjesty's government to set the assertions for such men as these aszainQt the declaration of Mr. Crampton, a man of unques tionable honour. _ " The undersigned must, indeed, remark that the whole proceeding, in regard to the trial of Hertz, was of such a nature, that while her Majesty's minister and her Majesty's consuls might be, and indeed were, inculpated by the evidenca of unscrupulous witnesses, that minister and those consuls had not any means or any opportunity of rebutting the charges which were thus incidentally and indirectly brought against them. " With regard to her Majesty's consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New York, they all equally deny the charges which have been brought against them, and they declare filet they have in noway whatever infringed the laws of the Untied States..._ " With respect to Mr. Rowcroft, her Majesty's consul at Cincinnati, the undersigned has to observe that legal pro ceedings against that gentleman ar e still pending. As to the origin, character, and nature of those proceedings, the undersigned might have much to say ' • but, as they are still pending, he abstains from doing so. He must, however, be permitted to remark, that it would, at all events, be incon sistent with the plainest principle of justice to assume as established, charges which are still the subject matter of judicial investigation. " The accusation against Mr. Mathew, her Majesty's consul at Philadelphia, rests entirely upon assertions made by flerlz. Those assertions are positively denied by Mr. Mathew, and her Majesty's government can scarcely believe that the government of the United States, with the know. ledge which it will have obtained of the character of Hertz, will hesitate to concur with the government of her Majesty in giving credit to Mr. Mathew. " With respect to Mr. Barclay, her Majesty's consul ri,t, New York, he declares that he neither favoured the all ged recruiting, nor participated in it, nor was informed of the hirinw, retaining, or engaging any man for that ourpose. " Her Majesty's government cannot but ace ,- ,pt the denial of those gent'emen as more worthy of belicii than the asser tions and evidence of such men as Hert:. and Strobel. " Rut Mr. Marcy considers that the conduct of Mr. Bar clay in the affair of the barque NI awry ought to be an addi tional reason why her Majesty's government should rec,li him. 'Eldon this' the undersigned must observe that Mr. Barclay received information e,n oath, from persons in the service of the United States, I .eading to the belief that the harrine Maury was fittin, out with designs hostile to British interes!s, and P , 'variance with the neutrali'y laws of the United S'at e :« It was Mr. Barclay's bounden duty to communicat, that information without delay to her Maj sty's rr:rniwn. at Washington. Mr. Barclay did so, and his :street action in the matter was then at an end. Mr. ~ton submitted this information to the proper authori es of the United States in order that they might determine 'what proceedings, if any, it might be right to take there upon. 'the officers of the United States considered the prima facie case against the Maury to be sufficient to call for proceedings on their part. such prec edings were accordingly instituted by them, and not by Mr. Barclay, whose conduct in regard to the Maury was in strict per lorm ince of his duty, and received the approval of her Majesty's government. " With regard to the last point, the undersigned must refer to the offers of satisfaction, and to the explanation; already made, and to the repeated expression of sincere regret of her Majesty's government, if, contrary to their intentions, and to their reiterated directions, there has been any infringement of the laws of the United States. " The undersigned has now had the satisfaction of com municating to the government of the United States the statements and declarations of her Majesty's minister at Washington, and of her Majesty's consuls at Cincinnati, ?hiladelphia, and New York, as to the conduct imputed to hem. " The government of the United States had been led to suppose that the law and the sovereign rights of the United Statei had not been respected by her Majesty's govern ment, and relying upon evidenee deemed to be trustworthy, they believed that that law and those rights had been in fringed by British agent. If such had been the case, the government of the United States would have been entitled to demand, and her Majesty's government would not have hesitated to afford, the most ample satisfaction, for no dis credit can attach to the frank admission and complete repa ration of an unquestionable wrong. Her Majesty's govern ment, however, unequivocally disclaim any intention either to infringe the law, or to disregard the policy, or not to respect the sovereign rights of the United States, and the government of the United States will now, for the first time, learn that her Majesty's misnister at Washington, and her Majesty's consuls at New York, Philadelphia, and Cin cinnati, solemnly affirm that they have not committed any of the acts that have been imputed to them. The govern ment of the United States will now, also for the first time, have an opportunity of weighing the declarations of four gentlemen of unimpeached honour and integrity against evidence upon which no reliance ought to be placed. The undersigned cannot but express the earnest hope of her Majesty's government that these explanations and assu rances may prove satisfactory to the government of the United States, and effectually remove any misapprehension which may have hitherto existed ; and he cannot doubt that such a result will afford as much pleasure to the govern ment of the - United States as to that of her Majesty, by putting an end to a difference which has been deeply regretted by her Majesty's government; for there are no two countries which are bound by stronger ties or by higher considerations than the United States and Great Britain, to maintain unbroken the relations of perfect cordiality and friendship.—The undersigned, & (Signed) to that plwer influential class of shi po woe! A of I a disensaion of the merits of Mr. Tow on ; we may safely leave that to the consideration of the gen'lcurm who corn prised the board for whom he is secretary. The bearing which the question exercises upon the public interest is, whether a board of gentlemen, sitting constantly to decide upon the van ions questions that come before it, are not servant, than capable of estimating the i . a few individuals. sitting at Whitehall. There is also this distinction in favour of the former, that their conduct is open and avowedly before the public, while in the later else, the tribunal which gives its decision is a Clesed one, frequently deciding contrary to the law itself. We do not pretend to enter upon the merits of the case in diSpute, as we have said the parties most competent to give their verdict upon it, are those who are daily cognisant of the services of those whom they employ; and if the Board of Trade arro gates to itself the power to supersede all local experience, and entirely set aside local opinions, the sooner such autho rity is put an end to the better. If the board of trade would set about reforming the salaries of its own department, it would find none that more needed the pruning knife. I3ut while they are thiii tenacious about the increase of salary paid to a loCal officer, it is remarkable that th ey should have increased the amount to all the officers in London. To piste it beyond doubt here they are : OFFICE OF MERCHANT SEAMEN 1 Registrar 1 Assistant Registrar 1 Chief Clerk • 1856. 800 531 400 1613 2373 2.'65 1250 5 Clerks, Ist class 1537 10 Ditto, 2nd class 12 Ditto, Srd class .. 14 Ditto, 4th class 1 Assistant Secretary, Ma- rine Department .. 2 Professional Members 11,004 11,582 Here we find the salaries of 47 individuals increased by more than £5OO in one year, while the Board is contending against any increase being made to the income of a man who by his nautical acquirements have conferred great advantages upon the shipping interest, and who, by his assiduity, has gained the approbation of the entire board in whose services he has been employed. Perhaps the Corpo ration of London will take a hint from this little incident, and learn in time what they may expect if they come within the grasp of " My Lords of the Treasury," or the " Privy Council for Trade, &c."—Bankers' Circular. CONDITION AND PROSPECTS OF THE MONEY MARKET. The state of the money malket as indicated by the returns of the Bank of England up to the 26th ulimo, and during the week just ended, has not afforded any increasing facili ties to commerce. The further decrease of gold in the bank coffers, though not bearing on the immediate condition of the market, had been sufficient tl prevent any alteration in the rate of discount, a result which we foresaw and expressed at the time when the Government contracted the last loan ; and so long as its wants are held in anticipation, we do not think any permanent improvement can take place few ears since, rumours were rife that 10 or 12 millions would be immediately called for. The subject has now sunk into quiescence, and it is said that. nothing will be asked for till June. These delays in the production of the financial statement are excercising the most injuri ous influence upon trading and commercial transac tions, while the best part of the Ses,ien is being lost, with out any single measure of importance having been passed. There is some difference of opinion as to t'oe future pros pects of the money market ; for while some persons antici pate a gradual increase in the importations of gold, and a consequent reduction in the rate of discount, others enter tain the opinion that the number of speculations afloat, of a foreiem description ' will lead to an extensive export of the precious metals, of which the Bank of E tgland is only the medium. The drain upon the Bank during the last few weeks has evidently been of a special character, and as such, can only be temporary, so that as soon as its operations have resumed their ordinary course, the imports of gold will probably be sufficient to strengthen its position. But it must, at the same time, be remarked that the bank at former periods, when it has been independent of a drain for war purposes, has never been able to maintain a very large stock of bullion under an active state of commerce ; and if we add to an improved state of commercial enter prise, an increased amount of speculation in foreign tran sactions, the great probability is that the bank will not rapidly accumulate its stock of gold, nor will it hastily reduce its rate of discount. And in forming any estimate of the future, the demands of the Government, and the shape they may assume, must be taken into consider ation, The mode in which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer will provide means to cover the expenditure for another financial year, wilt be certain to effect, more or less, the state of the money market, and the prospects of trade, and hence any delay in making his intentions known are so far injurious to the public interests. We are, therefore, of opinion, that we cannot look for a speedy reduction in the value f money ncr to a very rapid recovery from the position to which the war has reduced the country, unless the Government clears away the uncertainty which hangs over its intentions.—Bankers' Circular. NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE The 15th article of the treaty of peace has caused a terrible panic among the holders of the shares of the Danubian Steam Navigation Company. It is felt that the monopoly of the Danube by the Austrian Company must soon be at an end, and consequently the shares have fallen 30f1. (.C3) within two or three days. The Vienna press does not question the right of English and French steamers to navigate the Danube, but it is inclined to fancy that the Austrian Steam Navigation Company, which has invested capital to the amount of 30,000,000f1. on the strength of its " exclusive patent," ca❑ claim some kind of indemnifi cation from the Austrian government. LAW INTELLIGENCE In the Court of Criminal Appeal on Saturday, the Court, in delivering judgment in the case of the QuEEN V. ROEBUCK, said the prisoner was charged with obtaining 103. by fraudulently and falsely pretending that a certain chain was silver, well knowing at the time that it was not so. He took the chain to a pawnbroker, who advanced 10s. upon it on the representation that it was silver. Subsequently he went to another pawnbroker, when he was searched, and a large number of the same description of chains were found in his possession. The prisoner was tried and convicted before the Recorder of Liverpool. The question for their consideration was, whether the prisoner was guilty of a false pretence within the meaning of the statute of the 7ch and Bth Geo. IV., cap. 29. They were of opinion, acing upon the authorities cited and the cases which had been decided, that the conviction was right. Conviction affirmed. in steady prices, excepting t e p t t h i e ngin week, g r al with i,no which particular has im. different customers ‘, ~... .s , „ s -•-__ es 01 tor s so. the concern, or crediting th e firm with the mon ey r eceived T he evid e nc e upon the convtction was, that the prisoner, been e av d tieo s rn i y nce last quotations.

At his lodging. there were materials for coining found by the officers. The prisoner was sent for trial. A. RUNAWAY JUROR A very curious case, that xeited some merriment, and not a little surp:ise et the time, took place a day or two ago at the coroner's court. 'A gentleman, a member of that respectable society coiled Quakers, had been sum moned on a jury, and, in obedience to the mandate, he came to the court. He entered the jury box with his hat on, as it is not customary for members of the religious body to to which he belongs to remove the head covering in such cases. Ele was told, in rather a peremptory tone, to " take off his hat," but he took tio notice Of the order, sitting down very crtietly. Mr. Cooper, the summoning officer, then, as is usual for officers in such cases, removed the gentleman's bat, and all was right so far. The deputy coroner, ror it was that gentleman who happened to preside, having sworn the jury, the members were ordered to proceed to view the bodies upon which the inquests were to ba held. Mr. Cooper (the summoning officer) had ears provided, which were standing at the court door, and he told the jury to " take their places" to proceed to view the bodies. On his looking into the cars to try if he had his men "all right," he missed his " friend" the Quaker, who was not to be found " high or low." He sought him, but in vain ; and, at last, he rushed into the court in a fearful state of excite ment, and addressing the worthy beadle of the court, cried out " Mr. Blake! Mr. Blake the Q iaker has cut—gone— absconded—mizzled 1" The beadle, who was just then drawing on his gloves, in order to accompany the deputy.: coroner, said very cooly to Mr, Cooper, "Then go and fled him again!" This piece of advice only seemed to increase Cooper's excitement, for he shouted as loud as he could (and that is tolerable enough), " lie's gone—ran away, sir !" This caused a shout of laughter, which was much increased when the worthy clerk observed, " li e h as g i ven you the slip, Cooper, for the indignity you ocfdred in pulling off his hat." It was now too late to procure another juror and so the place of the " friend ," had to be filled up by the summoning officer himself, who, from his experience and intelligence, made an excellent substitute for the miss ing juror. The beadle, in due course, reported the fact to the deputy-coroner, and that gentleman ordered a fine of £1 to be recorded against our " friend." A communication to that effect was made to the gentleman, and he subsequently called on the deputy coroner, and explained the matter, which showed that he had not " run away" (although at first it seemed so) nor did he intend the least slight on the coroner or his office. It seemed that the gentleman is quite inexperienced in such matters, and is young in the world also ; and, he imagined, having been sworn on the jury, was all the duty required of .him, and, therefore, he went home, thinking it was all over ! The explanation was deemed satisfactory, and the fine was remitted, so he thanked the deputy-coroner, and said he would know better whea sum moned on a jury again. MR.
