KIRKDALE SESSIONS.

The usual quarter sessions for this division of the
county commenced yesterday, in the Court-house, Kirk-
dale. The Right Hon. Lord Stanley presided ; and the
other magistrates present were Messrs. W. Hall, J. W.
Harden, J. S. T. Greene, S. J. Steers, G. Artingstall, R.
Theakstone, R. Benn, T. W. Rathbone, G. M'Corquo-
dale, Major Chambers, R. Neilson, J. A. J.
Myers, and J. G. Morris. _

Mr: Gibbs, the governor of the gaol, reported that the
number of prisoners under his charge on the 30th inst.
was 3211, consisting of 255 males and 65 females.—Mr.
W. H. Lee, the bridgemaster, submitted his report,
which showed that the various bridges and roadways in
Connection therewith belonging to the hundred of West
Derby were in a state of general efficiency. His require-
ments for the ensuing quarter amounted to £l4O, which
was allowed.—Capt. Elgee, the head constable, reported_
that the constabulary force was in a satisfactory state ;
its total. strength was 687. There had been 2,224
apprehensions ; summonses by the police, 2,686 ; sum-
monses by other persons, 3,253. 'Total number of
apprehensions and summonses, 8,163.
A letter was read from Dr. Formby, who has been
physician to the committee of visiting justices of lunatic
asylums for a period of 40 years, tendering the resigna-
tion of his situation, and expressing his thanks for the
kindness which he had on all occasions received from
the magistrates with whom he had acted.—An applica-
tion for the vacant situation was made by Dr. Nevins,
medical officer of the West Derby Workhouse, and the
name of Dr. Trench was also mentioned in connection
with the appointment. After a short conversation, in
which the chairman and two or three other magistrates
urged that it would be very unsatisfactory to proceed to
the appointment on such short notice, it was resolved
that the question of a successor to Dr. Formby should
be deferred until to-morrow. when some other civil
business would come before the court.

THE STATE OF THE GAOL.
The following letter was submitted by Mr. Johnson,
medical officer of the gaol :
TO TUE RIGIST RON. LORD STANLEY (CT/AIRMAN) AND MAGIS-

TRATES ASSEMBLED IN QUARTER SESSIONS, RIREDALE.
My Lord and Gentlemen,---In making up my annual report
I find the sanitary state of the gaol contrasts favourably with
any former period, an unusual exemption from disease arising
within the establishment requiring hospital treatment having
prevailed throughout the year, although the average number
of applications for medical relief or. the books since last
Michaelmas is greater than ordinary, owing to each complaint.
however slight or spurious, having been regularly entered,
either when made spontaneously or elicited at the monthly
inspections.. These inspections are systematically carried out,
whereby every prisoner has the fullest opportunity of making '
any statement he or she may be disposed to make, whether
as to disease, diet, or any other matter respecting which it
is my duty to take cognisance. 1,993 is the number of appli-
cations for the year, viz., 162 males, and 373 females ; and the
hospital cases 44, viz., 39 males and 5 females, 7 being the
greatest number under treatment at one time.
With three or four minor exceptions, the hospital cases had
their origin outside, and were of long standing. This was
especially so in each instance where death ensued, one male
and one female dying from affections of the brain, and one
male from consumption, three being the number of deaths.
In the former case the disease in the female was traceable to
a fright experienced when milking in a thunderstorm, whilst
the man had been addicted to intemperance and sensual excesses.
Three prisoners have been sent to the lunatic asylum, viz.,
two females and one male :--Ann Scholes is confirmed epileptic
and homicidal, Emily Smith suicidal under the delusion she
was to be murdered in gaol, and John Robinson, dangerous
from his violence and malicious disposition. The latter has
escapes! from various prisons and asylums. He is now in the
criminal lunatic asylum in London, sent there consequent upon
a report to the Ilome Office, the case being an exceptional one
requiring restraint, restraint not entering into the treatment
pursued at the asylums to which lunatics are usually taken
from this gaol.
Two prisoners have had the remainder of their sentences
remitted on medical grounds. viz., Thomas Willison and Jas.
Morris; and one, Andrew O'Brien, who wts acquitted on a
charge of murder on the, ground of insanity, is still here during
her Majesty's pleasure.
The food furnished liasi been wholesome, and the year closed
without a complaint respecting it—an unusual circumstance.
Correction and discipline have been so sustained; that in no
case where pleas have been urged for exemption of the task
imposed, or penalty incurred, has it been necessary to make
any remission.

The substitution of a hot-water apparatus for open fires in
the hospital has answered compktely, a suitable temperature
during the most inclement period of the last severe winter
having been kept up throughout the whole building with no
more fuel than was formerly necessary, to keeß one grate' sup-
plied.—l have the honour to be, my lord and gentlemen, your
most obedient servant, JAmks JOILSSON.

The criminal business of the sessions will be com-
menced this morning.

The tests of Monday were instituted by Captain Dallas,
overlooker for Campbell, Cross, and Company, and
occurred in this way, as Captain Dallas stated :—Having
purchased the rigging for the ship Fiery Cross, from
Ncwall and Company, wire-rope manufacturers, Gates-
head, he desired to test it with others of the like make.
He therefore cut some lengths from the rigging supplied
and prepared for the testing of Monday. He then
informed Garnock, Bibby, and Company that he intended
making a public test, and they allowed him to go to
their manufactory, and select at will from their stock.
From the houses of Whalley and Fenton, and Hutch-
ings, his specimens were provided through third parties.
On Monday at one o'clock, many gentlemen connected
with shipping were present at the machine to witness
the processes, and the interest taken in the proceedings
will be understood, when we say that the gentlemen for
the most part remained until nearly six o'clock.
Among those present were Capt. Luckraft,
H.M.S. Hastings, Messrs. Fenton, Russell, Captain of
the Cultivator, Henderson, Laird and Son, Edwards,
Jackson and Ronalds, and Lieut. James, emigration
surveyor.

The following is an exposition of the testing. In
every instance the means we have adopted were to take

resistance gadranteed for wire-rope of a given circum
ference, and in the opposite column is placed, the strain

LIVERPOOL AND HER BANKING SYSTEM.
[SECOND LETTER.]

TO THE EDITOE: OIF THE DAILY TIMES.
SIR,—In my previous letter,. which' appeared in your
'paper of Tuesday last, I noticed' generally the inade-
quacy of the present banking power of Liverpool; and
briefly traced some of the disadvantages under which all
classes of the community suffer in consequence. The
saject is one of such deep importance, and is yet so
imperfectly understood, from the fact of its being
:regarded by the general public as a dry subject, that it
may not De unprofitable to examine somewhat more
minutely, and without recourse to statistics or techni-
calities, the present pOsitiote of the question, and
analyse the means capable of being rendered available
for effecting a change. The present position, and
future prospects of commerce seem tot only favourable,
but to invite a consideration of the qUestion. I have
already shown that, under existing arrangenients, and
with the present institutions, only one-half of the' deta-
inanity can enjoy the advantages resulting from the
practise of het king; and whether they can be extended
2iVile other half oy the existing banks reversing their
amental principle of business, or whether such can
be more successfully-accomplished by the introduction of
new and independent institutions, based upon other and
more comprehensive principles is a question which must
every day more forcibly press '
itselfupon public atten-
tion. It will net be denied, for every day's experience
forbids it, that the whole of the present banks have not
only as much business as they require, but even more
than they can at all times accommodate with
con-
venience; and it is, for the most part, of that class best
suited to the continuance of those principles which have
so
long prevailed, and it does not, therefore
desirable that any attempt should be made to effes:tema
change with them. Independently of this, there is the
risk which is inseparable from the introduction of any
change in the mode of conducting any description of
business already established, and which applies with
double force to the business of banking, besides it
being very questionable whether a combination of the
"deposit" and the " advance" business- of banking
could be brought into harmonious and successful action
by any institution whose age has assimilated and, indeed,
consolidated conflicting principles. Possibly it might
be done if the banking capital was in excess of the
requirements of trade; but in a town where this is
notoriously not so, the experiment becomes exceedingly
hazardous—so dangerous, in fact, that few would be
found' possessing the courage to recommend, much less to
adopt it,
The trade of eery district possesses some peculiarity,
the result of local circninetances, and that of Liverpool
forms no exception to the rule. Banking, which is
simply a department of trade,. naturally accomodates
itself to the peculiarity. Here the characteristic dis-
tinction has been an extraordinarily rapid expansion of
c,ommerce, and the consequent natural attraction to the
place of a large number of people who, while possessing
all the qualifications for becoming first class merchants,
had only moderate capital—capital quite inadequate to
render them independent of banking " accommodation."
Hence the fouridation of these principles of banking which
almost exclusively prevail here, and through which it may
be said the oil for our machinery of commerce is supplied.
Bankers finding the need of their customers, and that
large profits could be made by supplying their wants,
were not slow to occupy the ground thus presented, and
hence the customer became rather the bank of the
banker, than the banker the custodian of the customer's
cash. There can be no question that the system contri-
buted immensely to that unparalled development of
trade, which has rendered Liverpool notorious through-
out the world s and so long as its population consisted
entirely, of may merchants, and there was no accumu-
lated wealth in the district, the system fully met all the
requirements of its people, and there was no necessity
for the introduction of that system which would foster
the concentration of surplus capital, and render it
available for the still further expansion of commerce.
In short, so long as all men were "borrowers," there
was no necessity of any institution for the reception
and custody of accumulated wealth. Every day's
experience, however, clearly demonstrates that this
state of things no longer exists. Although Liverpool
still possesses amongst her traders a very considerable
proportion who constantly need "accommodation," she
has also an equal number of really independent men,
who not only require no advances from their bankers,
but who have it in their' power to provide them with
large deposits or balances, For the accommodation of
these no adequate provision has yet been made. They
are, to a great extent, excluded from the present banks
by reason of being taxed a quarter per cent. upon their
transactions, and the effect of which is to induce them
to make as few payments through them as possible.
Again, in old communities there are to be found
various classes of people whose existence is unknown in
young. There are the retired men of business, profes-
sional men, gentlemen holding official and lucrative
appointments, thrifty tradesmen, and others who are
perpetually saving money. All these accumulate per-
haps but small sums individually, yet collectively they
amount to a formidable figure. Generally these classes
are careful and calculating, and the charge made by
bankers for taking care of their small savings effectually
forbid them from using banks, and they adopt the prin-
ciple of hoarding, or " old stocking" banking until the
amount becomes so large as to excite fears for its safety,
and then it is possibly invested in some real property.
This process is repeated over and over again, and by its
practice an immense amount of capital is withheld from
active circulation, and thus the available means of trade
are foolishly and amazingly abridged. In Liverpool,
and particularly in the districts surrounding it, this sys-
tem prevails to an extent little understood or appreciated,
and the amount of this " old stocking" money if accu-
rately ascertained, would astonish afew of our most
intelligent bankers.
It is not, however, from these sources alone that the
available means of trade are abridged, and vast amounts
of capital perpetually withheld from active circulation.
The nature or character of a very considerable portion
of Liverpool trade, and the principles upon which it is
conducted have to be considered. 'We must not ignore
the fact that no mean proportion of Liverpool trade is
transacted upon commission ; that in many instances
this commission is very small in amount, and that the
recipients are necessarily careful to save all possible
expenses. Let me instance the ship broker, who con-
fines himself to his legitimate business ; not those who
depart from it and enter into all sorts of speculations
with the money belonging to their clients. His
course of business is somewhat this. A vessel from
some foreign port arrives consigned to him. The
cargo has to be discharged, the freight collected,
and an outward cargo obtained. This may occupy a
month or two, or even more, but the average may be
taken at about six weeks. The first business is the
collection of the inward freights—this may amount to
one, two, three, or more thousands of pounds. It is
received by the broker within a week or ten days of the
vessel's arrival, and it remains for the most part in his
possession until the vessel is again ready for sea, when,
after deduCting the disbursements of the ship, which
forms a very inconsiderable portion of the whole, it is
handed over to the person authorised to receive it.
Now, it might be supposed that the money thus received
would be paid into the broker's bankers for safety as it
was received, and thus be rendered available for trade,
and no doubt in some exceptional cases it is so, but as a
rule it remains in the broker's cash-box, which is nightly
deposited at Jones' or some other strong safe, and for
the very cogent reason—the broker is independent of
his banker, he requires no advances, and he considers
the charge of "a quarter per cent," for safe custody
rather too formidable a sum to he deducted from the
small commission he receives for transacting his busi-
ness. Other instances of a similar character might be
adduced, but this one illustration will surely suffice to
Carry conviction to every unprejudiced mind.
Now, when we' remember the very large numbers of
vessels that arrive in Liverpool upon these terms, and
the immense amount of money which their inward
freights would represent, and that this is perpetually
dormant capital, we surely cannot avoid the conviction
that 'our principles of banking require amendment.
Supposing, for argument's sake, that the average
amount of money thus locked up in brokers' cash-boxes
does not exceed £500,000, and that if this amount was
deposited in banks it would discharge an obligation
every alternate day, it follows that a capital is rendered
idle which would discharge or adjust commercial obliga-
tions to the extent of £78,000,000 in a year. But it is
contended that the amount of money thus perpetually
locked up in Liverpool, instead of being only what I
have named amounts to two millions and a half ; and
if this be so, it follows that by our absurdly deficient
banking arrangements we sacrifice a capital which would
conduct a commerce equivalent to £390,000,000 per
annum. These figures may appear very formidable,
and out of all proportion to the declared value of our
imports; but it must be remembered that the amount
of the value of the imports by no means represents the
full extent of commercial engagements. One thousand
pounds worth of produce may and often does create
liabilities to ten times its own amount, as the same
article is,sometimes sold and resold many times before
reaching the actual consumer. Then again there are
the obligations involved in the conduct of our export
and internal trades. What the actual amount of these
created in Liverpool in a year may amount to it is quite
impossible to state with accuracy, for as a very con-
siderable portion of the business is carried on independent
of the bg,nks there exists no reliable data upon which
to estimate the extent of the monetary engagements of
Liverpool in any given period. I must now close.
Next week, however, I propose to follow up the subject,
and show how the present deficiency of banking capital
would be relieved by the adoption of the system of
payment by cheque. W.•

THE SELECT VESTRY.—The usual fortnightly meet-
ing of this board was held yesterday, at the board-room,
Brownlow-hill. The Rev. Rector Campbell presided.
The othei vestrymen present were, Messrs. Denton, E.
Byford, Scott, Owens, Smith, Bairstow, Goodacre,
Cropper, Williams, Cook. A. Byford, Peck, Whitty,
W. Whitty, and Luff. The proceedings of the Work-
house Committee were read and confirmed, a brief
discussion taking place upon the recommendation to
advance the salary of one of the workhouse officials 2s.
per week, which was agreed to ; as were also those of
the Industrial School Committee, a long, but exceedingly
interesting conversation taking pl”,^ nn the subject of
the grocery goods supplied by Mr. Tate, the contractor,
not being equal to samples, which ended in the store-
keeper, Barivise, being reprimanded, and an increase of
his salary refused, because he had neglected to examine
the goods supplied with the samples. Several of the
officers' salaries were advanced a trifling sum annually
on the unanimous vote of the vestry, and the business
terminated.
CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE. •
I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound
and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, (122, Copperas-
hill, Liverpool,) will prove of more value, in cases of bron-
chtis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy
extant. It relieves the most irritating cough ilia few minutes;
and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces
sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and
restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above
all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson's
jfateria Medica, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr.
Brett, the eminent chemist I consider the balsam of hore-
hound • and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant
and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan-
der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc-
tion -with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con-
sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. 11. Brett, Ph. Dr.,

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY.

(Before Mr. RAFFLES.),
NEARLY A FATAL FIGHT ABOUT A LODGER.

Margaret, Julia, and Edward Burns, and Edward
Gibbon, were brought up by police officer 32, on the
following charge. He said he was called into a house
in Standish-street, at eight o'clock on Monday evening,
where he found a woman, named Mary Naughton, lying
on the floor in a state of insensibility. She was bleedings
from wounds on the head, and had bruises on several!
parts of her toddy. The prisoners were pointed out to,
him by the sister of the injured woman as the persons
who had assaulted her, and he took them into custody.
He then called in a doctor to the injured woman, and
he is in attendance on her since. She lies at home in a
precarious state, and the officer said she was not able to
speak since. He produced a certificate from the surgeon
which stated the woman could not be removed with
safety to her life. The sister of the injured woman said,
last evening I was with my sister passing the prisoners'
door, in. Itattxhall-road, when Margaret Burns spat in my
face, and began to abuse me and my sister. We then had
some words;
,they followed us into the street and knocked
us doltii. We ran away and got into the house frx
Standish-street, where they followed, and the four of
them fell on my sister and nearly killed her. The pri-
soners alleged that the fault was all on the part of the
witness and her sister, and arose in this way.—Some
time ago the prisoner Gibbons lodged with the last
witness and her sister, but he left and went to lodge at
Burns's, and this caused an ill-feeling on the part of the
Naughtons ; and the prisoners stated that the latter
were in the habit of annoying them on this account.
On Monday evening the witness and her sister (as stated
by the prisoners) attacked Gibbons in the street because
he had gone to lodge at Burns's, and this created the
row; but they denied having treated the injure&
woman as described, and the eldest of the female pri-
goners made rather an extraordinary speech, designating
his Worship as "my dear sir," and " asthore machreer
and other like terms ; but his Worship interrupted her,
by asking what she bad to say as to half killing the.
woman ? She denied it, of course. The prisoners,
were remanded until the result of the assault on the'
woman can be known.

ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.
John Rimmiugton, formerly a car-owner and beer-
house keeper in Queen's-square, was brought up on a
charge of having assaulted a female, named Emma Bay,
the proprietor of cars, having stables in Mill-lane. Mr.
Cobb appeared for the prosecution, and said the case
arose in this way. Some time ago' the prisoner had a
number of cars, and being in want of money the com-
plainant lent him a considerable sum, he giving her a
bill of sale on his cars. That bill of sale was disputed
and broken, and the cars, horses, &c., were sold at
Lloyd's, Newington, and Miss Kay purchased them, so
they became her sole property. Since that time the
prisoner had attended to the cars, and received the
money the same as if the property was his own.
The prisoner, no doubt, would say that he lived with
the woman as her husband, but Mr. Raffles
Suppose he does, he has no right to beat her. Mr.
Cobb : That is exactly it, sir ; and this is not the first
time he has ill-treated her. He has been before year,
and she has forgiven him. Last night, about two.
o'clock, he came to her place drunk, and called her bad
names, nud then struck her on the face several blows,
the marks Qf which she has at present. I will prove
this case, and then ask you to call on him to find sure-
ties. Mr. Cobb further observed that the complainant
denied living with the prisoner as his wife. The com-
plainant was then called, and proved the assault, which
was visible on-her face. A police-officer stated that be
saw the assault committed, and when he interfered to
prevent it, the prisoner tore his cape off. The prisoner
told some sort of incoherent story, and said the police-
man punched his head against the wall of the yard.
His Worship sent the prisoner to gaol for three months,
and ordered him, at the expiration of that time, to find
two sureties of £25 each, to keep the peace for three
additional months.
THE ASSAULT ON BOARD THE AMERICAN SHIP.
Robin J. Piot, the second mate of the American ship
George Hulbert, was brought up on remands charged
with having violently assaulted a Bohemian named
Alwar. Mr. Gluck appeared for the prisoner. Mr:
Wilding, the secretary of the American Consulate, was
on the bench to watch the case. In addition to the
evidence already published in our paper two or three
days ago, Peter Storey, John Pierson, and Charles
Smith, three Chilian sailors, who were on board the
ship, were examined, and proved that they saw the
prisoner beat the injured man in the face and head, and
kick him, when down, on the legs and in the side and
neck. The poor Bohemian, who is still labouring under
the injuries he had received, was examined through an
interpreter ; but the poor fellow was so stupid that he
was not able to give any account of the trans-
action. Mr. Raffles said it was very clear that the
man was quite imbecile—no matter from what cause.
The sargeon from the infirmary said the man was much
contused on'the shoulders, hips, loins, and arms. His
head and face were injured and much swollen. Mr.
Illuck then made a speech for the prisoner, admitting
that his client had once assaulted the man in the river ;
he eulogised the prisoner for good conduct, and called
the captain of the ship, who gave the prisoner a good
character. His impression was, when he saw the
Bohemian, that he was half a fool. Mr. Raffles said he
was sorry to see a young man of the prisoner's appear-
ance in such a position. He would say, for the infor-
mation of American and other sailors of different
nations, that the English law reaches them as soon as
they came into English waters. He made this observa-
tion because the prisoner had told the officer, when he was
arrested, that the English law could not punish him,
but he wished it to be known to all foreigners, that the
English law did reach all parties who committed offences
in the jurisdiction. He did not think the evidence
sufficient to send the prisoner for trial, which he
would have done, had it been sufficient. The prisoner
must have seen that the poor fellow was imbecile, and
that should have induced him to be more kind to him
There were two common assaults proved, and for each.
of these he would fine the prisoner £5 and costs, and
order one £5 to be paid to the injured man. The fines
were paid by the captain of the ship, and the prisoner
was discharged.

- ROBBERY OF A PUBLICAN.
Two well-dressed young fellows, named William
Mitchell and John Bennett, were charged for having
stolen a watch from Mr. Andrews, publican, Scotland-
place. Mr. Cobb defended. Detective officer Lees,
and other officers, along with the bar girl in prosecutor's
house, were examined, and gave a rather funny account
of how the " ticker" went. The facts seemed to be as
follow :—The prisoner went into the public house kept
by Mr. Andrews, and he being somewhat stricken in
years, they surrounded him, something after the fashion
of the " Green Islander," who in his proper person
surrounded and captured some ten of his enemies. They
got out the watch from his pocket, but his niece saw
them and raised an alarm, when one of them cried out to
the other " sling it." They did sling it behind a
stove, and then tried to get away, but they were
"grabbed" and secured. It was stated that Mr.
Andrews had lost three watches recently in the same
way. Mr. Cobb cross-examined the. several witnesses
to show that a mistake had taken place, and that the
case at most was only one of suspicion, upon which his
Worship would not convict the prisoners. The prisoners
were many times convicted previously, and they were
now sent for trial again.

Medicine always aggravates chronic diseases, but Du Barry's
delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably cures them is a
very short time. We extract a few out of many thousand
expressions of gratitude from invalids :—Cure No. 36,418, Rev.
Dr. Minster of cramps, spasms, and daily vomitings. Cure
26,418, Dr. Harvey of diarrhoea and debility. Cure 39,628,
Dr. Wurtzer of consumption. Cure 46,270, Mr. James Roberts,
timber merchant, of Frimley, of thirty years diseased lungs,
spitting of blood, liver derangement, partial deafness. Cure
No. 47,121, Miss Elizabeth Jacobs of extreme nervousness,
indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies. Cure
48,314, Miss Elizabeth Yeoman, Gateacre, near Liverpool, often
years dyspersia, and all the horrors of nervous irritability. (17)
Let invalids avoid the fearful dangers of spurious and injurious
imitations offered under a variety of false pretences. Nevill's
imitations are prohibited by the High Court of Chancery under
a penalty of £5,000 against Alfred 'Hooper Nevill and his
agents ; and the pretences that Nevill has a patent for Arabica
Food, and that Du Barrys are connected with such patent are
utterly false. No canister is genuine without the name Barry
Du Barry & Co., 77, Regent-street, in tull, on the seal and
wrapper. Shopkeepers
who attempt imposition in one article
most expect to I)" distrusted in all others. Packed in t;ni, a;
