Now, gentlemen, these are the two facts, and I have now to state the natural result, not in my own words, but in those of my Lord Stanley, who, at the meeting of the National Reformatory Union held recently at Bristol,remarked that about one-tenth of the whole population of the United Kingdom consisted of youths between the ages of 15 and 20 (horn into the world since the establishment of the Church of England schools in this town), and that one-fourth of the whole detected crime in this country was committed by youths between the ages of 15 and 29 ; and that in the year 1853, 11.513 children under the age of 15 were committed pri a whole army of chidren it to excite our u t most sympathy a amount of detec'ed crim d to 0 Who cau NORTHERN .~ `iM S after all'is only the clearinc , away of obstru c ti ons . (A p • planse.) I have, now, gentlemen,b only to thank'you for he very kind and patient attention you have given to this somewhat imperfect expression 'of my sentiments on those s ibjects I thought moat likely to interest you, and before I sit down I will do what I have been asked to do—sbow my political colours. lam not one of those who think that politics have little or nothing to do with the Tdwn Council. I think that politics are so interwoven a d mired up with our social, civil, and municipal institu ions, that we cannot altogether ignore them. What are If we refer to any modern dictionary, the words " statist," " politician," "statesman," are synony. maul, and the word "statistics" is explained as a system of municipal philosophy, by which the strength, resources, and means of a nation are arrived at. I can quite understand that a man may be a strong political partisan, and yet, if he be a man or correct mind and straightforward principles, he may faithfully and efficiently discharge the duties of the muni cipal office. Still, I think it better for all parties that the political bias of a representative should be in unison with that of those whom he represents ; and in order that there may be rfo mistake as to my political bias, I will now unfurl my colours. They will not be "red," they will not ba " blue," and I am very sure they will not be " orange." Some or.e has slily hinted that a "tea colour" would be appropriate ; others, a " quiet drab." One kind and highly prized friend has suggested 'a "neutral tint;" but, gentle men, I can adopt none of these. The banner I raise to-night is of a pure '• white," fitting emblem of the purity of my motives in accepting the trust you are pie - sed to offer me but it will not, cannot be mistaken, for the standard a fear or for the flag of true or compromise, for on it will be emblazoned one word—a thrilling, mighty word, pregnant with meaning, and indicative of social, civil, commercial, nd religious advancement : that word will be " Peogress." rnlitics ? (Loud applause.) A Burgess b, Another expected that they would have ver 3nd it would be his duty to get as.larg as he could many parties ing his grata: m chosen as a. caw:ll .g r e and I ha be 11 .come when Would be found of peculiar lvantage minority, But he w ;ed to ask Mr. Steains if he thought it necessary to zo to Rivington for water? : Why, the 'Water will be here before you get home. (Laughter.) Mr. Steains replied that the question referred him hack to the origin of this question, and be should tell them candidly that he was one of those who thought at the time that Bala Lake was the proper place to go for water. The distance was undoubtedly greater, but the land was level, and he believed that. the cost would h ave been less. That was not done, but, under the present circumstances, he was now an advocate for bringing the water from the Rivington Pike. (Hear, hear.) The question ws now settled, and they should make the best of it. (Hear, hear.) He large bilis brought in, a discount on them Mr. Christopher Rawlins proposed the first resolution, which declared that, in the opinion of the meeting, Mr. James Steains 'was a fit and proper person to represent the ward in the 'Pawn Council, and pledged the meeting to use all proper means to secure his return. In advocation of the resolution, Mr. Rawlins remarked that Mr. Steains had, in the address he issued, referred to his past services, and had done well in making the allusion. If high and unfailing honour as a merchant, if intelligence as a citizen, if liberal ity and moderation as a politician, may fairly entitle a man to your suffrages, he thought they could have secured no better man for Castle•street Ward that evening. During the time Mr. Steains had been in the political arena, there bad been no doubt many more active men, and he was sure there had been many much noisier men than Mr. Steains but public influence was not always to be estimated by the acts and wards which found their way into public prints, or were recognisable by the public eye and ear. He thought that in the quiet advocacy of every scheme which had for its object the improvement of his fellow citizens— in the liberality with which he had contributed towards the means by which such schemes were placed be-. fore the Government of the day, and the country at large ; in the suffrages he had given to whomso ever, and whatsoever might contribute to the well•being of his fellow-citizents, his country, and his kind—he believed that Mr. Steins had been eminent, and that he was well entitled to represent the constituency which he had so long and sl ably served. (Hear, cheers, and applause.) They were just now on the eve of losing the services of a gentle man who bad long occupied a very prominent place in the respect and esteem of his fellow townsmen. ( dear, hear.) c 1 estimtina the character of Mr. Holt, he did not think he was called upon to point out that that gentleman had never been guilty of an error of judgement, Errors of judgment were a common attribute of humanity, and let him who was without them, cast the first stone at Mr. Holt. (Hear, hear.) But, although Mr. Holt might have committed some errors of judgment during the long time he had been before the public, he did not think there was any min in Liverpool whom he could poitit out to a aspirant after public honours, for the pu r p o z e o f savin%- .t,t;o, and do likewise;" with greater e)nfidence, than Mr. Holt. (Hear, and applause.) But while the public did undoubtedly lose great and valuable services in Mr. Holt, be thought it was a fond and foolish fancy among n't when a man of great importance dropped . , away from the scene, tho could hardly carry o n without him.' Valuable as were the services of Mr. Holt, and of others who went before him, he thought the blank they had left could be filled up and the want supplied. For this lrpose they could have chosen no better man than Ur. --, (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Mr. Rawlins, in uca a nian as Mr. Strains referred to some of the principal questions on which he hoped the services of M „ Among d to the question of th e town dues, and observed, that although he felt perfectly certain that if a poll were taken of Liverpool, nine tenths of the community would go with Mr. Steains and in favour.of the town dues, yet he himself (sfr. Rawlins) was one of the glorious one-tenth, who disagreed in tba'( view is glad to find such a man as Mr. Steains going ito the Council, because he hoped that that great Question would be settled upon-no more parchment chims, Liut upon the claims of equity and justice. He, therefore, wished to see such men as Mr. Steains represent them in Council, who 'Raton, anu le-strePt -apt of the undetected crime —what statist.exp; ore it ? No ; it. will never 139 revealed leulate it ju Much of this vice and igno. ance may b.: charged upon the criminalty of parents, but much more upon the neglect of the state and the intil the:4y of rigment. I rope neglect of the state and the public Education alone will - rest the evil; the crimes olintemperance and drunk• ust be repressed, if they cannot he suppresed, let me not he misunderstood. .I h a v e no thi ng t o _ _ v against the respecta' knd h€ le license-I victualler, who has to pursue his callinzas the butcher,'or she It is the abuses of the r, or any other tradesman . ..... abuses of a good principle is no argument against the principle itself. No, it is the vile debauching saloons, the gambling, vice engendering beershops, that require 'controlling by the strong arm of the law. And I can see no good or valid reason why the sale of intoxi- ed under d maddening liquors should nt be pla ions, just as it is proposed to do the sale of poisons_ hear.) But education and the repression .of nness will not altogether meet the evil The nust be reached and touched, and that can only be done by means of moral and religious training. And here begin the difficulties of the subject. But surely t our rising statesmen some one will be found to solve this tearful problem. It cannot he long p os tp one d ; eating into and undermining the very foundations of our social system ; it is like an avalanche threatening to overwhelm us ; it is the spectre of the banquet, marring all our enjoyments; it is—with reverence he it spoken— the handwriting . on the wall, and we shall do well to heed it. (Loud applause ) It is not for me to suggest any plan by which such great and conflicting claims can be reconciled, such deeply rooted prejudices removed ; bat by large and natural concessions, without the sacrifice of great .principles, I venture to hope that ere long sot thing will be accomplished; and I believe the first and the right step will be in the establishment of a national or compulsory system of education—(applause) —leaving . the moral and religious training to the volun tary system, as at present, but enforcing nationally all else besides, (Loud applause ) I could not help thinking the.oths.r evening, when it teas my good for tune to listen to that transcendently eloquent speech of the Right Hon. W. E Gladstone, at the Collegiate Institution, and marked the high intellect which beamed from every feature of that thoughtful, eare• face, that there was a statesman to whom in this her hour of need, could still look up to, and who, under God's guidance, might undo this Gordian knot, eand solve this mysterious pro blem. Be that time near or distant, 1 will, upon every suitable occasion, do my utmost to extend the blessings of education and moral and religious training to the masses of the people, giving my utmost support and CO_ operation Wall the kindred institivions, such as ragged schools, night schools, parochial and national schools, which may be calculated to advance this all_important subject. (Loud applause). The next question is the sanitary condition of the town ; and here, I am happy to say, the improvement is. daily, almost hourly, visible; and thinks to the exertions of your health committee, aided by the advice, and guided by the abilities, of your able and much-respected borough engineer, Mr. New lands, hope, continue to improve, and when we get the promised supply of water from Riving'on, much more may be done. (Hear, bear) I trust then to sec public fountains adorning the town. (Applause). I know of no greater humanising, civilising element than water—cleansing, purifying, refreshing, and invigorating all around. It is the greatest boon that nature gives; it. is life nr death and nn 171,fitOr 0.,..1.0. .try We receive than a large, Continu ous supp ly o f - wa t er We cannot have too much for the this rapidly augmenting population lighted to sec the public ciste and noble-minded TAP- increasing wants of I have been de_ ns which, thanks to a young nthropist, now form so con - spit:a - - oils an object in the town ; and often, during- the recent have I stopped to watch 'the wayworn ' , art' toiled artisa" -, Tor, frail, to slak , and the to the i I say, parching. thirst. ,iatpe of Charles Melly, who, at his, inch that no inconsiderabl e one —h as eon this blessiug on the poo (Applause), Ther throng mimes to whom Liverp‘;ol . iet owes a dobt of titude—tuari who, at the sacrifice of health, and -what is dear to some men—popularity, hive, motivta teadily par6u( nest and purest la out trom - the hig 1 for the town ; and the time [tames will be remembered and enshrined in the whn hare the good of their fellow•creiture neroui nublic libraries lelioration o Then, to public fountain and everything that tends to the he Condition, the improvement of the Con of the tastes, the enjoyment and amusement of the humbler and woking classes, I shall always be found a warm and steady supporter.

Therefore, on his matter I shall be prepared to join the general chorus, to government and to Manchester," Hands off, gen (Applause.) As a commercial man and a shipowner, I may be expected to say something about, the Birkenhead estate, and what is called the Cheshire In this matter I shall lay down for my guidance I and distinct've principle—" that the interests Aire side of the river and the Lancashire side (Hear, hear.) The rise and prosperity of ahead and iti adjacent coast, are the rise and pro yof Liverpool ; and vice versa, (Hear, hear.) The rsey is - of the C are identical the highway for the commerce of the port, and I can recognise no more distinction between the two sides of the river than I should between the Surrey end Middlesex side the Thames, or, what perhaps. is "more familiar, than between the east side and the west side of Castle street. (Hear, hear.) With this broad and distinctive principle shall allow no class influence, nor .breeches pocket interes's to divert me from carrying' it out, whenever my vote or advice may be reciaired, (Applause.) I am rejoiced to see that the subj.ct of the approaches to the river has been taken up. They have long been a standing disgrace to the town, and I only wonder that s rangers have not, ere this, united to indite them as a public nuisance ; and if Mr. Alderman Bid will steadily pu sae h" [afore It plan for Emending them, he will became the most popular, instead of the most unpopular, man in the town. (Hear, hear.) To this ward, it is a very important matter. Such is our local situation that we clnnot have a public park, but we can have a broad handsome street -or promenade, a continuation of Lord street carried on the high level on arches, passing on the left or south side of St. George's Churnh to the Prince's Pier ; thus enabling the inhabitants of the ward to enjoy a delightful walk and obtain the refreshing breezes ocur noble river withogt danger to life or limb, and without being well slushed with mud, as at present is too often the case. (Applause.) As a trustee called upon to assist in administering a large and important trust, it will be my duty to make myself acquainted with what the corporate estate consists of, and I do'not apprehend the difficulty which some seem to imagine James 1 there ,s. I cannot for one moment believe that with such gentlemen on the finance committee as Mr. Hugh Hornby, Mr. Stewart, Mr, Preston, and the Messrs. Hobile, there is anything to conceal, or any occasion for mystification. (Hear, hear.) It may be that by the lapse of time and alteration in the value of property in different localities the fall rent is not obtained in some cases, but beyond this I believe everything to be just and right. Economy—that wise end prudent economy—l shall ever advocate, but y that I will give way to a false economy, a and pound foolish system of dealing with the corporate estate. (Hear, and applalse.) I think the ex pression which has been used elsewhere of " princely paid officials," is an unfortunate one, inasmuch as it is not a eorregt one, and, much as I admire the energy and respect the ability of the gentleman who used it, I think he did not intend to convey the meaning which triany person's have , ttached . to it. Ido not think the public officials of the •are overpaid ; and it must be borne in mind that, ace of the wonderful discoveries of gold, the f used property' and labour is to advance, and that the - cost of living, and labour are dearer now than they were 15 or 21 years since, or, in other words, £1 now will not go further 'than 15 s would 20 years ago. Therefore, gentlemen, on all such questions I shall be v the pringiple "that the labourer is worthy of his what is more farailiqr, tl a fair dayls Wan f, - o . aunot penny wise house rent, aided t fair day's tipplaus and respectful manner three or fohr of the burgesses to whom X am an entire stranger, whether I am . a member of the Church of England.. Now, although this ts . a question . entirely and partiCularly pepson4.l t') myself, will publicly . answer it. I am an humble though unworthy member of the Church of Englatad.L.dovoted to her mild and tolerant . forms of worship—loving her institutions and venerOlog all that is good belonging to her, Ardently attached from my earliest youth to the principl es o f c i v i l and re li g i ous lib er ty. I have not now in my more m a t ure age any recan t a ti on s to make, any professions to offer. I may also add that I have always been an advocate for that system of trade usually designated and generally known to free trade, but which deal with them would probe the question to the bottom, and enlighten them, he hoped, much more than they had hitherto beon enlightened, for he thought a great deal of ignorance existed upon the question even up to the present day. He passed on to allude fo the Corporate property, of which he remarked thit no inventory had been made out for many years. From this fact had arisen some very awkward. mistakes. They had' heard within the last few days of one gentleman holding offices beneath the very shadow of the Town-hall, who had been exceedingly chagrined to find that while all the rents of the private property were rising everywhere around him, his rent still remained the same very small amount he had been paying some fifteen years back. (Hear, and laughter.) In the question of the corporate property, he urged the attention of Mr. Steains. Alluding to the rating of docks and dock warehouses, he remarked that, although it was rather a serious question to give a decided opinion upon that night, still his principle was that in general they ought to tax property wherever they foiled it, and that, in the rating of the dock warehouses and the docks, they would find the time and legitimate source for the compensatioc they might receive _for the less of the town dues. Mr. Rawlins dwelt at same length upon the question of education, remarking that although he bad heard many promises made last year upon that subject, he did not find that any step in re ference to the great subject of education had been taken in the Council during the past year. He strongly condemned the course pursued in the Connell by which the principle upon which the cJrporation• Schools were estab lished had been altered, and, as an inveritable result, all the Roman Catholic children sent upon the streets. (Hear, hear.) He urged that the proper course to he pursued was to hack back upon the original principle, or, if that were now not be achieved, at least to maintain that principle in any future established institution. Having deprecated the system of making political principles the test of selection for municipal honours, to the ignoring of practical qualifi cations by general acquaintance with the subjects usually involved and ability to engage in them, Mr. Rawlins concluded, amid loud applause, by proposing the resolution. Mr. Robinson seconded the motion. The Chairman called on Mr. John Aikin to support it. (Applause.) 114 r. Aikin sail the chairman had taken him rather by surprise ; and after the admirable manner in which the resolution had been moved by Mr. Rawlins, he thought any support upon his part would be perfectly unnecessary. He .. nate not, however, altogether sorry to have afforded to "him nd an opportunity of saying a few worth, not only because he the could most fully and satisfactorily endorse all the good ais I qualities and promises which had been laid at the door —that of Mr. Steains, —and he trusted, that when at the ce, but end of there years Mr. Steains again appeared corny, a before them, some of those p:omises would have been with the redeemed—but also to assure Mr. Rawlins, and other gentle nk the ex- men in the room, that, however sincere gentlemen might be incely paid in making professions, and however earnest m;glit be the it is not a expression of their own desire to carry out great measurer,. of ,y and respect public improvement, yet there were BC4 many difficulties to .ink he did not be encountered, that they must not expect these difficulties .y pereona have could be too speedily or too easily surmounted.

The motion «as carried. late in reference The report of the governor of the gaol was read, from which it appeared that the number of prisoners during the - past year, was—from the . assizes : 372 males, 66 females total, 438. Sessions : 15t males. 61- females— total, 212 Under summary e..nvictiou.: 989 males,. 363 females—total, 1,352. County Court debtors : 158 males, military, 166 males; total, 1,836 males, 49) remales— total,.2,326. Average number : 318 males, 78 females —total, 396. Greatest number at one time, 510.

The number and description of ---* in the gaol that diy was as follows : —For tr assizes -total. prisoners ; m:sde- meanants 'emales— th tt they bad ti in acq•iiring that knowledge of perty, which .perhaps every citizen had a right to have access to. '(Hear,' hear). He, therefore, thought, that it s highly trapertint, however great the knowledge might d within the Walls of the Town Hall of could La rendered more (Hear, heat). Mr. Steains had referred to the services of Mr. Holt ; but he (Mr. Aikip) thought that be might be allowed to exprefs what he felt so warmly—that a very great debt of gratitude was due, from that Ward in particular, and from the town in general, to Mr. Holt, for the time, and for the ability, and for the zeal Which he had brought to the promotion of every goo(' measure for the last quarter of a century. (Applaus'-). Ho was sure that Mr. Holes name would be that was ppssel the Corporate . property, that public and more eas y accei,•ibt never be forgotton in connection with Castle-street Ward (hear, hear)—and it should be their desire to return to the Council Chamber gentlemen who were capable of sustaining the high character their Ward had hitherto held. In selecting Mr. Steains, he believed they were selecting a a gentleman worthy to tread in the footsteps of . Mr. Holt and Mr. ifornby, and one whom he thought hereafter they would have reason to thank for his services. (Applause). The resolution was carried by acclamation. On. the motion of Mr. Steains, thanks were voted to the chairrniu ; after which the meeting separated EVERTON .8.1 ^ND KERKDALE WARD Last evening, a meeting of the friends and supporters of Mr. Stitt, was held at the house of Mr. Japha, Church street, Tiverton. '['he room in which the meeting was held was most densely crowded. Mr. Hall, the chair man of the' committee, presided, being supported by many of the most influential ratepayers in the town. On Mr. Stitt presenting himself to the electors, he was most rapturously_ and enthusiastically received by theelectors present. The chairman, after a few brief and suitable observations, introduced Mr. Stitt, as the. candidate for the representation of that Ward in the Town Council of Liverpool. _ Mr. Stitt, on rising to address the meeting, was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause, and, after a few introductory remarks, proceeded to reiterate his former opinions on the principal topics which engaged the attention of the public mind at the present time, and then went on to say that the commerce of the town was extending so rapidly, that they would have a right to encourage it to the utmost of their power, and, therefore, the man whom they should have to represent them in the Town Council should be a man entertaining large views, and of a liberal mind—(applause)— and not a man with one idea. In reference to the distribution of the taxation of the town, he conceived that it should be distributed with a wise economy, and, with a due regard to carrying oat the great and important schemes that would come under consideration ; and to do so, their representatives must deal with the public funds with the same care and pro dence as they would bestow in disposing of the funds out of their own private pocket. (Applause.) The time was at hand when they would have to consider schemes of the most gigantic magnitude—schemes s ich as the Birkhenhead docks, the extension of their own docks, and the water supply— and there was another scheme of equal magnitude just being brought forward— the improvement of the approaches to the river.. There was no doubt but that these schemes would tax their energies to a serious degree, and would hence make a large demand upon the public purse, therefore they would claim every consideration. There had been a great deal said with reference to the town dues. H e thought that by some this question had been viewed, iu too narrow a light—it had been looked at in a . narrow point .of view. It had been viewed as a pounds, shillings, and pence question There was no doubt but that it was an important question, partieularly if they referred to the corporation accounts just published, from which it would be seen that the income amounted to• the sum of £130,000. For his part, he did not think that that was the most important : view to take of the subject, because there was a greater principle involved in. it—the principle of self-govern ment. He did not think the late attempt of the Government to deprive the town of those dues was for the amount, so much as it was to get the management of those dues into their own hands, and thus deprive the town of managing,its own affairs. (Applause) If they once lei the town dues go, the next thing that wouki be taken from them would be the dock estate. Of Government management, they hid seen quite enough of the Balaklava bffair, not to wish them to interfere with the affairs of the town. (Applause.) There was an all important point, and that was the commerce of the port. Liverpool - was essentially a commercial port, and all that related to it was of importance, and required the greatest attention, therefore, they had a right to encourage all that would effect it. He then proceeded to advocate the social and moral education of the Poor and industrious classes, to achieve which it was, he said, essential to improve their dwelings, for it was scarcely likely that any improvement could be made in mankind, when they had to locate in hovels. That, he also thought, would be the means of decreasing the amount of crime, which he saw cost the town £40,000 during the last year. • He concluded by saying that, if he was returned, he would, .to the best of his ability, discharge Iris duty faithfully, fairly, and honestly. (Applause.) Mr. Robinson, the secretary, th-n called the atten tion of the electors to the report of Mr. Wise's remarks, reported in a local paper. lie commenced by asking the chairman whether it was a fact, that Mr. Hodgson had solicited him to become a candidate ? (Mr. Hall : Most certainly not.) He also st a t e d that he was instructed to deny that Mr. Rathbone bad ever been soli cited to become a candidate, and said that that gentleman had said, that be believed that Mr. Stitt would make a good and efficient representative, if elected. He next referred to Mr. Wise's statement, that he objected to the crew and not to the craft. For his part, the friends of Mr. Stitt thought themselves quite as respec table as the friendsnf . Mr, Longton. Ile denied that there bad been forty Committee-rooms engaged, and stated that no more had been engaged than was actually necessary for conducting an election in such an extensive a ward, which contained 40,000 inhabitants. He then strongly animad verted on the means that had been adopted by Mr. Longton'a friends, in the course of the canvass, and stated that he should, at the neat meeting, be in a position to prove that Mr. Longton was not of the ancestry to which be had laid claim to, that he was not so old a resident, nor was he so charitable ; and as for his business habits they were only so-so. The Chairman said they had heard Mr. Stilt's opinions, and some of them had heard Mr. Longton's, and those who bad not, be should advise to do so; and then, on the day of t 3 leo tion, vote for the best rran, and then he had no doubt as to the result. Having briefly referred to Longton not having publicly repudiated the state ments'made by Mr. Wise, after he had canversel with him on the subject, he concluded by saying that he should regret to see Mr. Stitt returned by' any but the most honourable means, and by calling on the electors to use their time and exertions in securing his triumphant return. This concluded the meeting, and, after three most ener, getic cheers, the electors separated. A meeting of the electors of theie wards will be held this evening, at the Derby Arms, Kirkdale, when Mr. Stitt, and several of his supporters, will address the electors The European and Australian Mail Company rece:ve half the postage on letters and newspapers they convey to Australia via the Cape of Good Hope. They will not be paid the 4185,000 a year, according to the terms of the new contract, until they commence conveying the 'Austra lian mails via, India and Egypt. . EIU/413ARTQN.— LIE INTERDICT ON THE PRESS.—The Dtpnbarton Hercad, of Thursday, says :—" After mature consideration, and being, no doubt, well advised in the matter, Sheriff Steele does not seem inclined to bear the odium which would assuredly be thrown upon any one in his position who attempted to curtail the just liberty of the press. Qn the interdict in our case being brought under his lordship' s not i ce on T ues d ay , h e pronounce d aninterlo cutor, announcing that, in accordance with an opinion previously over to his p rinc ip a l, Sh er iff Hunter. He seeks to throw expressed, he had consigned the whole matter off all responsibility, by consigning his work to that principal who, as yet, is guiltless of sanctioning such an interdict, and who, indeed, would have formed our court of appeal bad it remained in the hands of its original author."_ PARISIAN SPECULATION.—A 7 question of considerable _'ance in Stock Exchange operations was on Friday submitted to the Paris Tribunal of Commerce. M. Roblot, stock broker, on the 17th September, last year, wrote to M. Paulin, one of his clients, to demand payment of 1,928 fr. which were due to him; and to inform him that if before the end of the mantli he did not bring to a close an operation on fifty shares of the Credit Mobilier Company, he would sell the shares To this letter M Paulian paid no attention. and M. impor Roblot accordir sold the shares on the 30:h September The saleeaUsed Vim of 9,522 fr., so that M. Paulian owed him altogether 11,450 fr. i and it was to obtain payment of 01 1 '4 a4rl tbat be brought his action. M. Paulian not onl y disputed the demand, but brought a cross-action against M. Roblot t o o bt a i n f r om him the value of the shares in auestiou, on the ground that he ought not to have proceeded to the sale without sending him a summons by lassier, a simple letter not being in the eye of the law a sufficient n otifi c a t i on. The Trib una l, however, decided that the notice by letter was quite sufficient, and it therefore condemned M. Paulian to pap M. R.Oblot 11,450 fr. with costs, at the same time dis. ! ! missing his action against that gentleman.: not had felons, 33 ma{ s, 9 females -- • F.l, Sessions females-24 ; misdemeanants, 3 males, Under sentence from a-siz, Felons, 69 males, 19 females —B3 ; tnisde mean an t s. 42 males. 8 females Felot 50.

The es'imate submitted by the bridgemaster had been examined, and the committee recommended that £350 be granted for the repairs of bridges. The balance shown by the abstract of the bridge accaunt- was £29 19s ld, which would be sufficient for the require ments of the surveyor during the ensuing quarter. The report was agreed to. A sum not exceeding £l2O was granted for abridge at Ashton-in-Mackerfield, on the condition that the remaining sum of £BB6 be paid by the township. The several committees were rerappointed.- 'The report of the chief constable for the quarter ending Sept., 1856, was real. It appeared that the palice force of the county at present number 612. The return of persons apprehended by 1113 county con stabulary during that period was 2,448, of whom 174 were sent for trial, 1,536 summarily convicted, 120 bailed, and 638 discharged. Persons summoned by the constabulary were 2,231, of who u 2,007 were summarily convicted, and 157 dismissed ; 67 did not appear; against 63 there were warrants granted. Persons summoned by the parish authorities were 3,435. It was reported that in. the lunatic asylum, of Hay dock Lodge, Ashton-in-Hackerfield, were 134 inmates, of whom 21 were male private patients, and 21 female private patients, 31 m tic pauper lunatics, and 51 female pauper lunatics. Several routine matters were disposed of. 11Ir. Edward Gibbon qualified as a magistrate for the county. The trial of prisoners will commence this day. The calendar is unusually light, there being only 38 cases for rial. Under the recent act, 69 cases were summarily disposed of, which should otherwise have . come' before the Sessions.
