Oa the motion of Mr. Eushdl, seconded by Mr. Groves, Mr. John Cropper was re-elected chairman for the ensuing Yom• The CFLUT,MAN said that the buildings were now cora- Tlete and all paid for. The entire cost was £6,300, being .XI7 under the estimate, a citcamstance which reflected the greatest credit on their architect—(hear, hear) and one the like of which he had scarcely ever met in his experience. The houses were all let, with the exception of six or seven. and if they were all let the gross rental would be £9 153. per week. Such 'houses, hlwer;er, were rarely all tenanted at the same time, and the directors therefore thought it fair to deduct in their calculations a certain proportion, but notwithstanding, he might say with confidence that there was every probability of a dividend of five per cent. per annum being paid. So - far as he was able to ascertain from the accounts of the agents, there was no , fault found with the houses, bat nea r ly one-half of the tenants who had gone into the houses trst, had left them in consequence of change of occupation and other causes over which the Directors had no control. The tints were tolerably. well paid, and the directors had reason to be satisfied with every arrangement which they had made. They had agreed to recommend to the share holders to look out :Immediately for two additional sites, one at the north end, and one if they could find it in the centre of the town. They had two pieces of land in view. They were surveyed and reported on by the Architect, and , he thought they would adopt one, the piece at the north end. If they could not find a piece in the centre of the the town or about ledge hill, they would take up a second piece at the north end so as to employ all the capital of the company at as early a period as possible. From their increased knowledge of the state of the habitations of the poor, the directors were convinced that their undertaking was of the greatest im portance to the best interests— to the moral and social welfero of the poor. The buildings which were being now erected by parties who employed their capital in building were much improved, and contained accommodation Ivhieh did not exist twenty yews ago in any dwelling In con clusion, the Chairman said, that if they sanctioned the recorninexidation, it would involve a call before long. Mr. 8. G. RATIIBONZ observed, that it should not be inferred from the statement that half of the tenants who first entered the houses had left them, that these houses had not been re-let. They were all re-let, but it was to be expected that for same time the tenants would fluctuate. Mr. Gao , . ES asked if they had determined on the site at the Norh end ? The CHAIRMAN replied, not exactly. Mr. GR,ONZ3 suggested that it should not be near the chemical works at the top of Eaton-street, Vauxhall-road. The proximity of the works would prejudice the letting ilouses built in the neighbourhood. Mr. C. BI:i3ELL said the proprietors should under stand that it :.td not been from any neglect on the part of the directors that a second lot had not been taken by this time. It was simply from a desire that they sh;uld see something like aresult from the houses they had built before entering on the erection of any new bloom. That result they now had before them, and it was quite clear that the 5 par cent , as originally proposed as the amount to be ps,id to the proprietor; would be paid. They might therefore g) forward with confidence, and encourage others to go forward with like confidence in the ereztinn of similar houses. He had had many inquiries from.various quarters, exhibiting great anxiety on the part, of the pablic, to know what the Company was doing ; and the fact that houses built by cther orties were greatly improved, showed that Arcady the Company had accom plished a zreat good. People building houses, knowing that they would have the dwellings of the Company to compete with, would seek to give every accommodation to the poor, and in that respect alone the Company had Accomplished a great moral and social g , od. The Company did not .eontemplate building all the houses required by the poor, but to prove to parties who put their money in sa.vings' banks that they would find a safe and excellent :davestment in the building of such houses, while they - -would also enjoy the satisfaction of doing good to their - Lenox creatures. He would recommend the Company to exaed with confidence and he hoped they would have s , wmiaveeted the full extent of the capital entrusted to th, 14 :4- "hanks were then voted to the chairman, after which the mee fig separated. TO_ Vt3TH PARK BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The us lei. weekly meeting of the guardians of thi s eistria w, w held yesterday at four o'clock, at th e publi c office, Mr.. ttiatkas in the chair. The following guardians were in at - endanee—Messrs, Lord, Mercer, Robinson, Grindrod, W Lou, and Pickup. A cheque for £94 was given to Mr. .1. ",utts, for out-door relief. The Board then went into the relief cases. A :letter was read from Mr. 11. , ..gistrar-General,stating that he intended George Graham, to apply to the Searetary of State for the Home .Depart ment, for; leave , , s , unite, for registration purposes, the union of ~oxteth I "sirk to the union of West Derby. It wae egreed to pay the West Darby Guaedians monthly for the poor whom ight be admitted into the workhouse, from the Toxteth Par k .district. Mr. WILSON mov, WI, and Mr. thindrod seconded a resolution to the eft . .• 't that a valuation should be made of the township in rega rd to the proportion of it in the West Darby Union.—Ca n 4 ed• In reference to the le tier from the Registrar-General, there was no objection, a utl the letter was sanctioned. ken transacted, and the Board The routine business was t adjourned at six o'clock. TRADE OUTRAGE AT DRONE M.D.—About three o'clock on Monday morning, it was di. wavered that a serious out rage had been committed o. s the premises of Mr. Rotherham, sickle manufacturer, Drurifield, Derbyshire, a considerable portion of the premises ha.virg been blown up with gunpowder, and a large awn ant of damage having ard been done. The explosive compon. having been placed under the boiler, which was complet tel seaaz.hed to pieces, and the walls of the engine house ad., , 4eitaing were partially thrown down. Considerable damage Las also done to the engine. The search which was i lattitu.ed upon the premises produced tbe fragments of a wo vim barrel, large enough to have contained about a guar ter of a cwt. of gunpowder, and from the appearance of he fragments it was evident that the barrel filled, or par by filled with gunpowder had been employed for the purpcse of blowing up the premises. This outrage appears to harts been caused by the engendered against Mr. Rather halal, owing to his opposition to the rules laid down by the t,•ade union. The feeling has been manifested on a previous . oce,..asion, some year or two ago, when a vessel filled t% - ith gun powder was thrown down the chimney of his mantrfa&ory, and oae end of it completely blown to pieces. For that offence a man was convicted and sentenced to four Tears' penal servitude. It is to be hopeci that the perpetrator of this dastardly outrage will also be detected. MURDEROUS ATTACK OtJ A GAYE,KREPEIR.--At the Wakefield petty sessions, on Monday last, Michael Burnt, Catherine, his wife, and Geo. Lacy (the latter not appear ing), were charged with assaulting William Sims, a .game keeper, is the employ of the West Ardaley Association. Sims is peculiarly active in tha prosecution of poachers. About nine sa'clock on the evening of the 17th, Sims Was sitting on his garden wall, playing with his chrdreu, when Burns, his wife, and Lacy cause up, and without Sias having uttered a word, or giving the slightest provocation, Burns and Lacy seized him, dragged him off the wall on to the ground, whenithey all three kicked him till hi waa in a state of insensibili4—bloed pouring from his mouth, ears, and nostrils. Buras's wife, nut content with thie ran back to her cottage, and returned with a large knife, with which she made an attempt to stab Sims. Fortunately, how ever, by this time a large number of the neighbours had ceflected, several of whom wised the woman, and took the knife from her hand. Till within a day or two Sims had not been able to leave his house. A great many witnesses preved the c3se ; and tbe chairman said that defendants bad been guilty of one of the most wanton assaults that bad ever coin; within his knowledge, and providentially, one of the witnesses L‘d not taken the knife from the woman, the case would hare been one of murder. Burns and his wife were then fined £2 1 1,14, In default of pay men' they were uatenced to two moa l -se' hard Aabour in the 'louse of Correction. A warrant was; .issned fer the apmbonsion of Lacy, The following are the sires•ard materials of the samples sainted to experiment, with the- result : T. C. 31 inch galvanised wire rope, broken at 20 15 31 inch M mina hemp, ditto 5 17 3, inch Russian hemp, ditto 4 15 31- inch galvanised wire rope, ditto 16 10 21 inch galvanised wire rope, ditto 8 10 There were also some experiments made with - soft and hard wire rope, the who'e 'series being as satisfactory to those present, as they must have been to the manufacturers, who proved, by this best of all methods of proof, that their ropes withstand a str tin considerably beyond their trade lists and the Admir tests of strength. The testing of the hempen ropes proving the strength of Manilla to be so far superior to Russian hemp,took many of those present by surprise, as a converse opinion was enter tained by some of the gentlemen who witnessed the ex periments. Mr. Stephenson explained that the method of Messrs. Garnock, Bibby anti Co., in manufacturing Manilla aids greatly to the strength of the rope. All their ropes are machine spun, a method of which admits the whole of the fibre to be extended at full length and the strength of the material obtained, whereas haw:l-spinning does not admit of the like advantage in manufacturing. . The straining tests show the immense superiority of wire rope over that made even of the best fibrous mate rial ; but from a table handed to us we perceive that this is not the sole, or indeed we might almost say the greatest of the advantages it presents. For instance, we observe that wire rope is a fourth less in weight, and not one-half the balk of that made of hemp of the relative strength and enduring capacity. The advantage of this, especially in beating to windward, needs no comment. Moreover, we are assured the cost is 25 per cent. in favour of wire rope over hemp, estimating weight and saving. Again, wire rigging is much less susceptible than hemp of atmospheric changes, the latter continually stretching ; and when, in addition to all these advantages, it is re membered that wire rigging needs no stripping or refitting, as hemp rigging must have every few years, we cannot but come to the conclusion that wire rope seems destined, ere many years. greatly to surpass, if it shall not entirely supersede, hemp rove in ships' standing rigging. Already, indeed, we see that for years it has bean gradually creeping into more general use; and if the apnr)vil of experience can add, as it must, to the value of scientific tests, the use of it will be even more than proportionately rapid, for those who have used it invariably prefer it over hemp. As a proof of this, we may mention a fact significant enough. Three-fourths of all the vessels now rigged out in Liver pool are rigged with wire rope, Messre. Garnock, Bibby, and Co. alune having either fitted or in orders twenty three vessels for wire rigging daring the presant year. From the experiments made, it appears that splicing was the best mode of fastening the dead-eyes in wire-rope. A piece of rope 34 inches, with dead-eyes spliced, bore a strain of 20 tons, and broke in the splice. A piece of same size rope, with dead-eye seized with hemp, gave at the seizing with a strain of 10 tons ; another piece, same siz., seized with copper cord, gave way in the seizing, showing that for that purpose hemp is more tenacious than the copper cord. The experiments made on the comparative resistance of hard azd soft wires were greatly in favour of the hard wire. The hard wire was found to bear 60 per cent. greater strain than the soft. Both wires were the same, the one remaining precisely as when drawn, the other having ben annealed. The annealed is most pliable for splicing ; but being found so much weaker, the decision was, of course, in favour of the hard wire. The Russian war, the consequent scarcity, and great increase in the price of Russian hemp, led our count, yinen to direct their energies and capacity to the discovery of means which should leave us independent in so indispensable an article as ropes and rigging, of the great northern despot. The result of the testing on Monday shows that English energy and skill have been as invaria bly as heretofore crowned with success. Better and cheaper substitutes than Russian hemp have been found for those works of which it formed the great staple. Manilla, so much stronger —as the tests establish—is also one-fourth lighter, as we believe it is also much cheaper, than Russian hemp ; besides it does not require tarring, and, consequently, must run more freely in the blocks. Our cousins (the Americans) were earlier advised of the superiority of Manilla, which they use almost exclu sively ; and to the enterprise, sagacity, and skill of such firms as Garnock, Bibby, and Co., we owe it that we are not still behind them in the use and knowledge of so valuable a commercial product. To them, too, we owe the superiority of the present ovtr the former method of manufacturing the fibre. Messrs. Gar nock, Bibby, and Co. found that the rope they produced by hand spinning cost them considerable more than the same quality was produced for in America, while it was not nearly equal in quality to the American manufac ture. They found that in America the fibre was machine spun, and they determined to test machinery. They ordered at once a complete set of machinery for the express purpose of spinning Manilla hemp. But they had another difficulty to encmanter. No sooner had they erected their machinery, than " their hands with one accord struck work," as the best means to adopt for the purpose of copping that which they supposed—ignor intly, as it has since appeared—would totally supersede hand labour. One' consequence of the strike has been the erection, by Garnack, Bibby, and Co., of double the amount of machinery, producing ropes at much less cost; but we are happy to say, for the sake of the operatives, that another result has been, that they employ double the number of hands alsa. We ought not to omit to mention that during the con tinuance of the war with Russia, and the consequent dearness of hemp, Garnock, Bibby, and Co. manufactured rope from cotton, and also from cair yarn. The latter article is still used extensively—is found to wear well, weighing only half, and costing not more than about one third of the price of Russian hemp rope. It hes great elasticity, and on this account appears particularly well adapted for hawsers, warps, and such like. In conclusion, we may state that the click and baom of Garnock. Bibby, and Co.'s machinery may be heard any day as you pass along the Wavertree road, from six o'clock in the morning until nine o'clock at night, and not un frequently all night through, and showirg all those in dications of prosperity which unfailingly reward well directed skill and ent rprise in commercial as they do in other pursuits.—Tost. NEW INDIAN BISIIOPRICS —lt was stated by the Chair man of the Esst India Company, by the President of the Board of Control, by Mr. Disraeli, and other speakers on the Indian question, oa Monday even ng, that the native inhabitants of India were always ready to converse with missionaries " pure and simple," but that they had a great objection to have anything to do Isith missionaries who were supposed to be ereiasaries from, or to hare any connection with the government. In apparently direct opposition to this view of the case, Lord Palmerston and the President of the Board of Control have at this moment under their consideration a Scheme, recommended to them by the Archbishop of Canterbury and other church digni taries, for the immediate appointment of three additional bishops for India, in direct connection with the govern ment ; one for I gra, for the northern provinces ; one for Lahore, for the Punjanb ; and one for the missionary pro vince of Tinnevelly. PURLIc DRINKING FOUNTAINS.—In Liverpool the want has been felt just as acutely as in London. There was " Water, water everywhere; But not a drop to drink"— unless paid for so C. P. Melly Essq, has,at his own expense, erected in different districts of Liverpool plain granite or cast iron drinking fountains. It is stated that in a day in July the numbers drinking at one of these fountoins ex ceeded 2,500 persons. In no city in the world is there greater need for a due supply of drinking water than in London. A few pumps are scattered in the back streets, and the poor man is driven into the public-11,7 , nint to ex pensively slake with adulterated beer his uncoetrellable thirst in the dog days, instead of seizing a drinking cup at a public fountain and refreshing himself by a pure cool draught of well filtered water. Situations eligible for such acquisitions are numberless. For instance, there is a a gas lamp —and a very ugly gas lamp too—at the circus where Regent-street and Oxford-street cross. Were there arrang-d beneath this a plain granite font, into which four heaes threw small continuous streams of water, whilst many drinking bowls depended from its edges, we believe that hundreds of the poor wou ld bl ess the man that placed it there.—The Lancet The business doing in our Cotton Market con tinues active, and prices of all kinds are firmly maintained. The sales to-day were 8,000 bales, including 1.,N0 on speculation and for export. The Liverpool Share Market was rather firmer to-day, although the business done was not of an extensive character, The transactions reported were as follows :-Caledonian, 38, 381, 38, 381; Eastern Counties, 11, 716 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 100- ; ; Lancaster and Preston Twelfth Shares, 61 p ; London and North Western, 1031. 1031 ; North British, 1.11; North Eastern, 23i, -R„ 1 2 .1, 4, ; Leeds Capital Stock, 221, 221 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 1;4; Bank of Liverpot 1, 221; Liverpool and London Fire and Life, 81 p.

The Funds, to-day, sustained a fall of 1 per cent, sales being pressed, and a less favourable feeling being entertained relative to the prospects of the Money Market, as affected by the drain of silver to the East. Consols for Money closed at 901 to 90*, and for the account at 901. Exchequer Bills 5 dis to par ; and the New Three per 03nts at 90* to 911 Mere has been a very active demand for discount accommodation to-day, and the appearance of the market is decidedly tighter. We have already explained the causes of the increased pressure, and can only remark that in financial circles it is not presumed that a return of stringency need he apprehended. The Bank Directors did not make any alteration in the rate of discount to-day. The London R iilway Share Market to-day was quiet at about previous rates. The closing prices were as follows :-C iledonian, 761-, 761; Oswestry, Worcester, & , 34, 35; Eastern Counties, 111, 11a; East Lancashire, 96*, 971 ; Great Northern, 971, 98; Do.

Letters from Spain and the South of France state that the Maize crop is completely burnt up, and that the failure of that important article of food must be expected to cause a proportionate rise in grain. The various Corn Markets held to-day were very firm—indeed higher prices for the principal articles were insisted upon. Buyers, however, were very slow in acceding to the demands of holders. The half-yearly meeting of the United Mexican Mining Association was held yesterday. The report from the mine was more satisfactory than usual. From the accounts it appeared that a balance of about 3.0001 remained in cash and assets. There being a vacancy for a new director, Mr. Phillips was chosen for the office. The meeting then adjourned. It is reported that the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank will exhibit, at the approaching meeting of the proprietors, profits equal to a dividend at the rate of 6 per et nt. per annum ; but in some quarters it is considered doubtful if payment of a higher rate than 5 per cent. will be recommended. At the London Wool Sales, Messrs. Edenborough & Co. disposed of a full average quantity of wool, chiefly of good fine and useful kinds ; the bid dings ruled steady, but there was no change to notice in prices. The half-yearly dividend on Canada Debentures are advertised by Messrs Baring Brothers and Company. At the settlement in Railway Shares, yesterday, the rates of interest required from speculative holders were generally light. The outstanding speculation for higher prices in this department is evidently diminished, and the market is thus rendered intrinsically steady. Lancashire and Yorkshire Stock is held to some extent on specu lation, but Great Western continues prominently scarce in the market. The rate on the latter stock, as well as on . London and North Western, was sensibly lighter in the afternoon than in the morning. The East India Company have notified a rise of id in the rate at which they will receive cash for bills on India. The rates are now fixed, until fur ther notice, at 2s 011 per rupee for bills on Bengal and Madras, and 23 ld for bills on Bombay. In thus rescinding the reduction of id, which was announced on the Ist instant, the India House authorities probably desire to abstain from adding to the already heavy disbursements entailed upon the government in India. In discouraging remit tances to India through the medium of bills, this measure is also calculated to stimulate remittances of silver thither. The bar silver brought by the Orinoco, from the West Indies, &c., was sold yesterday for the East, at 5s lid per ounce standard, showing an advance of ea per ounce on the price realised for the supply by the previous packet. This advance is, of course, occasioned by the increased demand for silver o❑ the eastern account. Late yesterday afternoon it transpired that M. Giustinani of Constantinople had suspended, and hence, all expectations of the firm of the same name who had failed a few days ago being able to resume payments has been dissipated. It is now said the liabilities of the London house will pro bably exceed 300,0001., and the results of the liquidations, it is thought, may prove unsatisfac tory.

It is, therefore, proposed to declare a dividend of ls. per share, An extraordinary meeting of the Crystal Palace Company was held to-day, at the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark, Mr. Farquhar presiding. The meeting was called for the purpose of laying before it a report, from which it was seen that " the past year's revenue, after paying all expenses for the year, shows a gross balance of 28,4671 is id, and a net balance of 5,6871. 4s 9d, after deducting all interest accrued on borrowed money, and on pre ference shares. The directors are not without hope that further' experience, leading to a more economical expendi:ure, as well as an increase of income from the additional traffic which may be reasonably expected from the opening of the new railways, will show a more encouraging result in future years." The report was adopted. Of this but very little has come in of late, there having been only one vessel of 490 tons arrived since our last. The sales have been few, and altogether of a retail character.

LIVERPOOL TIMBER TRADE. On the 17th instant, the date of our last, we adverted in terms of pleasing anticipation to the promising condition of the approaching harvest, both at home and on the European and American continents, as holding out reason able grounds of hope for an increase of the general busi ness of the country. We also alluded to the recent large arrivals of gold and the slight diminution in the rate of discount charged by the Bank of England as increasing the prospects of prosperity, held out by the promise of an abundant and early harvest. These prospects, we are sorry to observe, have not as yet been realised; the harvest prospects still continue cheering, but, unfortu nately, the disturbed state of our Eastern possessiots and connections are sufficienlly urgent and perplexing to counteract, for the present at least, the golden expecta tions we should otherwise have been entitled to indulge in. Previous to the reception of the last Indian mail, so gloomy an opinion had been formod in the manufacturing districts as to our Indian relations, that many of the first houses in Manchester had intimated their intention of limiting production, until the state of India could be more conclusively understood ; an intimation also given and acted en by some of the Yorkshire and other manufac turers. The intelligence received within the last few days, although by no means such as to justify any additional uneasiness, unhappily is as little cal culated to allay apprehension, and the dullness occasioned in every branch of manufacturing industry congruent upon this state of anxiety, if not of alarm, has acted injuriously upon every item of commerce. The check given to manufacturing enterprise has operated to its fullest extent in arresting the erection or commence ment of buildings which had been in part resolved on to meet the expected necessities of an anticipated extension of trade. It has also in an equal degree operated in stopping the construction of dwelling house accommoda tion for the increased number of workers which the desired improvement in trade must have necessitated. While these adverse causes have been at work in circum scribing the general building operations of the country, and consequently in limiting, if not absolutely diminishing, the demand for wood of all kinds, unfortunately other causes have equally unexpectedly conduced to a similar result. The chief of these may be set down as originating in the very large supplies which, during the last few months, have literally been poured upon our markets. This will be to some extent perceived from the single statement that since the let of February last 98,868 tons of shipping, wood laden, have arrived here, against 63,540 tons during the same period of 1856, and against 75,378 in the same period of 1855. Such a statement requires no comment ; it furnishes at once an explanation of the stag nant state of the wood trade, and a key to the probability of the duration of the dullness. Diminished import for a considerable time to come is the only reliable means of restoring the market to a vigorous and healthy tone. AMERICAN TIMBER, PINE TIMBER : From Quebec since the commencement of the import season, forty-three vessels have arrived against seventeen of the same period last year. This large increase in the arrivals has, in connexion with other causes alluded to in our preliminary remarks, operated in diminishing the value of cargoes. Sales are now effected with difficulty, even at rednced rates. In consequence of this many cargoes are in course of being stored on im porters'. account. Notwithstanding this state of matters, prime cargoes of large average meet with purchasers at moderate prices ; small average and inferior qualities being very difficult to sell. From St. John, N. 8., the arrivals are fully equal to the demand, and 18 inch average is saleable at from 190 to 20d per foot. Of Lower Port the arrivals have been comparatively small, viz., 269 logs against 3 . 182. No sales of this latter are reported. RED PINE : Owing to the large quantity of pitch pine of the United States being of superior dimensions, and ruling low in price, red pine is comparatively neglected ; it is worth from 16d to IBd per foot, according to size and quality. . OAK AND ELM : These are much the same as at our last. Oak has been sold at from 2s 2d to 2s 4J, and for really prime of large average 2s 6d has been obtained. Elm is worth from 18d to 22d, according to size and quality. HARDWOOD: St. John of 14 inch average has been sold at 17d, and 16 inch at 20d per foot. Other kinds in pro portion as in quality and dimensions. N. B. AND N. S. PINE AND SPRUCE DEALS : The Import of these since the Ist February has amounted to 1,452,431 pieces against 943,709 in the same period of last year. For the best St. John shipments, there is but little altera tion in value since our last; they are still worth from lOs to £7 12s 6d, although sales of Richibucto and other Lower Port cargoes, have been made at X 6 15s per standard. QUEBEC DEALS are lower in price. Bright thirds have been sold by auction at from £7 123 6d to £7 15s per standard, separate from cargo ; also a few seconds of middling quality at £8 los. The prices of sales by private contract do not transpire. HEMLOCK LATHWOOD with cargo is worth 40s, sepa rately £4 rer fathom. PITCH PINE: The stock of this article is being slowly reduced, yet not sufficientlyl so to create an advance in value. TEAKWOOD : We still have no arrivals to record, and sales as at our last are still confined to retail from the yards. GREENDEART IS now worth from £lO 15s to Je 1 1 per / o ,:d, according to specification and quality. sh; s ce our Annual Circular, dated Ist February, 136 vessels. 98,808 tons register, wood-laden, have arrived f rom North America, viz :-43 from Quebec, .59 SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
