THE Lit*Emma. CHAMBER 1W CaHnlEßCE.—Ves-
terilay the quarterly meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce was liebl in the large countil-chamber,'
Exchangc•buildings. T. 11. Horsfall, Faiej., president, in
the chair. The chairman having briefly reviewed the busi-
Heets with which the Chamber had dealt during the last
three months, the secretary proceeded to read the report.
After adverting to the attention paid by the council in some
matters of local import only, it referred to the modifications
recommended by the chamber on the income tax, aud which
now appeared very likely to be carried into effect. An
effort had also been made to obtain ,tome modification in the
present system of bonding; and it had been rcemnineueled
to return to the triennial bonding plan, to effect which all
that was necessary was the withdrawal of the Treasury
orders of 17th May, 1831, which now suspend the whole
warehousing code, framed on the triennial principle, and a
repeal of 12 and 13 Viet., cup 90, see. 30, w hich, on let of
August, 1819, enacted seven years instead of three as the
term at the end of which the Customs could sell. The
council had availed themselves of the services of Mr. Sher-
lock, the Customs agent, and as such an opportunity as that
afforded by the committee of the House of Commune
night not again occur for many years, the council
invited suggestions from practical co Ircial men on
the subject of Customs reform. A committee hail al,o been
appointed to make inquiries into the subject of the for-
warding trade, in regeual to which many injurious discre-
pancies existed in the rates charged by the railway compa-
nies between Manchester and Liverpool and Manchester
and London respectively; that committee had not, how-
ever, yet made its report. Attention had al,n been paid to
the threatened removal of the North American mails beau
Liverpool, and on that subject the Chamber hoped that no
change would be attempted. The subjects of a reduction
in the soup duties, of the abrogation of the Sound dues,
and the appointment of Live:spool as an emigration depot,
had respectie etc obtained the attention of the council, as
also hull the bill introduced by the duck committee for
abolishing fires and lights on shipboard at night, and the
bill to amend the patent laws. llut one subject more than
all had enlisted the assiduous attention of the committee,
and that was the movement to est iblish commercial tribu-
nals. A member of this Chamber had attended in London,
and the In, tropolitan chamber had re-solved to petition par-
liament for en inquiry previous to introducing a measure
for the purpose of establishing such tribunals iu various
Ports of the kingdom. Mr. Stitt moved, and Mr. Arnott
seconded the adoption of tke report. winds was unani-
measly acceded to. Mr. Preston cited entice caws for the
purpose of showing that the bonding system as carried out
hay the Board of Customs was productive of much oppres-
ston. Mr. Heath sulanitted a resolution to the effect that
it was incumbent on the Chamber to eudeas our to promote
the establishment of local tribunals having power to adju-
dicate upon commercial matters, which was adopted, and
the proceedings terminated.

POPCLATIoN OF 1111 E TUNS or PAlBLEY.—Ac-
cording to the government census, the population within
the Parliamentary Burgh in 1811 amounted to 18,116;
in 1851, to 47,951 ; being a 4, crease of 165. If the
whole of the Abbey and Inner Parishes are compared,
their population in 1841 amounted to 60,487; in ltta,
to 60,33:2 ; being a decrease of 1.5.; persons. This
decrease is touch smaller than any person acquainted
with the state of Paisley during the: last 10 years
could have anticipated. The census of 1841 was taken
about the period when the gre it distress of 1811-12
commenced, and it is well known that fur a considerable
time nearly one-third of the entire population was depend-
ant on public charity. The depression continued so long
that many of our best citizens removed with their families
to other places, in the hope of tinning employment; and
from 1813 to 1849 a large extent of emigration took place
to our Australian colonies and to America. As proof of how
much Pas` Icy had suffered between 1811 and 1817, it may
be stated that, while in 1811 the population showed 31,80 b
natives of Renfrewshire, the census of 1451 gives only
32,620, Ling a decrease of 2,186 persons. This comparison
is exclusive of public institutions. As the mortality of the
town was raised by the fever of 1317 and cholera in 1415 to
the extent of 1000 above the average, had the population
been enumerated about three ears ago, the decrease would
not have been less than 3,000 persons. The population
having rather decreased since 1841, while the number of
inhabited houses ha, increased by 186, the state of the
town n.ay be considered more sati4factory in a sanitary
point of view. The following comparison of the results
brought out in 1811 and 1851 may be interesting:—

AN ACCIDENT Ilart'ESEll TO TUE MAIL Ta.tic
which lett the Waterloo Station at half-post $ on Sunday
night. When the train arrived within about 4 miles of
Mnehfield the tire of the wheel of one of the carriages
became damaged, mid thu carriage, which was filled with
passengers, got off the line. The motion of the train be-
, came unsteady in consequence, and the train was stopped.
Fortunately the carriage that was oil the line did not upset.
If it had not been for the timely discovery and the
promptitude with ss hi. 1. the train was stopped, a most seri-
ous accident might have taken place. The train was
delayed an hour in conk:queuee of the accident. On
Saturday night the Dorchester train get uff the Line atter it
I left Southampton. Nu serious accident happened beyond
a two hours' delay.
