WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1856

AT the Quarterly Meeting of the Town Council,
at which the monster land job was brought
forward, there were only thirty-five votes recorded
out of sixty-four ! Since St. Patrick made his
appearance art ongst toads and snakes, we never
remember hearing. of such a scattering of men
who ought to have been at there post, as there was
on Wednesday last. Many of the ordinary RlP-
porters of the jobbers, kept away probably from
good taste and honourable feeling. The whole
affair may have been rather too much for them.
But where were the "independent" Town Council-

men who have so much to say about corporate
corruption on the advent of each succeeding month
of November? The Ratepayers only had fourteen
men to vote on their side. If it had not been

who to their honour be it said,
the " job" would have been consummated. Such
was the degradation Liverpool had to witness at
the last Council meeting, and the Burgesses will
be curious to see what will be done to-day. Many
Councillors may possibly excuse themselves by
pleading a heavy pre.ss of private business, a
perfect crush of " urgent family affairs," indisposi-
tion, births, marriages, and deaths, and every
thing else which will furnish a colourable pretext
for their absence from the Council Chamber,
where the Borough property was about to be
sacrificed, as they must have seen by the summons
sent to each of them.
We saw what was meant the moment we read
the recommendation of the Finance Committee,
and the experienced eye of a zealous Independent
Councilman could scarcely have been deceived.
It will be hard, therefore, to induce the Ratepayers
to accept an excuse for so gross a neglect of the
public trust reposed in those who stand pledged
to their constituents to oppose jobbery under
whatever guise it may be attempted. To-day may
regain the lost ground, and show the municipal
electors that they are not wholly left to the
mercy of men who one day squander their money
in buying land at 81. per square yard, and who dis-
pose of most valuable building ground the next for
V. 10s. the square yard. The worthy Alderman to
whom we alluded yesterday will, no doubt, explain
these matters ; as well as the propriety of paying
21. I.os. per square yard for a certain bank on the
Cheshire side of the river, on which the earth
raised in making docks is to be deposited, with the
certainty of its having to be removed again, as a
prelude to making excavations, which:are contem-
plated at this moment, and must be undertaken at
no distant date, to complete the Parliamentary
dock plans now before a committee of the House
of Commons ! Should no explanation of these
transactions be given, the public will be puzzled
to know what to think. We would, consequently,
entreat the gentleman who took the lead in them
to speak out, and let the town hear what sort of
commodity land really is, and the conditions
which render a square yard of a semi-wilderness
as valuable as a yard of building ground in the
centre of the greatest commercial town in the
kingdom.

Ifor these gentlemen

The public mind was never before so open to
information as it is in these reading times of ours,
and any instruction an Alderman may vouchsafe to
impart to the multitude will be read with excessive
gratification. But we question the expediency of
giving the site of the Old Gaol to any railway
company, or applying it to any purpose which is
likely to increase the heavy goods traffic in
a thoroughfare which is very much overcrowded
already. Old Hall-street is too narrow now for the
number of people and conveyances passing to and
fro from sunrise to midnight, and if we are to have
the heavy goods and baggage of a prosperous
railway aided to what we see at present, the next
thing we shall hear of will be a plan for widening
streets. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway
Company can get plenty of back land, or building
ground, on the opposite side of their line, and
so divert a considerable portion of the
growing traffic from Old Hall-street and
Great Howard-street. But what do a Railway
Board care about the blocking up of thorough-
fares. They want a site for a station close to, or
within a cartage length from, the docks, and want
it for nothing, or certainly will not give more for
it than the value placed upon it by an Alderman.
If Liverpool was a small country village—a little
fishing town—it might be advisable to make a few
Railway Directors a present of the land they might
ask for, in perpetuity; but this great entrepot of
the world's commerce needs no such patronage,
and can make the purchasers of land pay the full
market price for every inch of ground they may
require.

The Council will, it is thought, pursue a course
to-day which will enlighten the Directors of the
Railway Company in questions on this head. A
railway station on the site proposed, may be a
great disadvantage, instead of a benefit, to the
whole locality, while there are a hundred other
uses to which it could be applied which would
really be of service to the shopkeepers and every
other class of inhabitants in the neighbourhood.
The whole question will, moreover, be warmly dis-
cussed in the Council, and the general meeting of
the Wards, held at the Clarendon-rooms, yesterday
afternoon, and of the Ratepayers of St. Paul's
Ward, last evening, though not numerously
attended, were sufficiently enthusiastic and unani-
mous to show the Corporation what the Burgesses
mean ; and that the adoption of the Finance Com-
mittee's job will be followed by a most energetic
appeal to the Lords of the Treasury to veto a
scheme which cannot be too often held up to
public execration.

THE latest intelligence received from Denmark,
represents the Sound Dues question as being in
a state of abeyance. Russia has agreed to the
capitalisation scheme. Great Britain, the public
will be rejoiced to hear, has declined to pay
1,000,0001. as her quota towards the abolition of a
piratical tax, levied on the ships and merchandise
of her subjects. Whether this refusal was based
on the financial difficulties of the day, or on a
simple principle of equity, remains to be seen.
The CZAR'S ready acceptance of the terms proposed
by the Danish Government, looks as if he fully
approved of them, and would have no oljection
to demand of other States, the fulfilment of the
conditions to which Russia has been the first to
subscribe. We will not, however, speculate at this
moment, on the eventualities which t'_-,ese circum-
stances may lead to, at some future date. The
Sound Dues come under the denomination of
passing tolls on shipping, a species of taxation,
against which the PALMERSTON Cabinet have
taken an oath of abjuration before the
House of Commons. They would fain abolish all
such taxes in this Borough, and, therefore, could
not sanction them at Copenhagen with any show of
consistency. That some determined stand has
been made against the scheme for capitalising the
Danish Dues, is quite evident from the tone of the
Press of Denmark on the subject.

. Having failed to work successfully on British-
sympathy, the cry is, what shall we poor Danes do
if we are deprived of the rich spoil we have made
of the ships and cargoes of all nations? England's
commiseration for the afflicted has been carried
to great lengths before now, but then her suppli-
cants have always had some show of equity and
reason on their side. They have not, after taxing
our trade and industry for centuries, borrowed our
money, and when a day of reckoning has arrived,
said; " capitalise the taxes we demand without
" consideration, or any show of justice, and pay
" yourselves the money due' to you." All that
Russia would have to contribute to the Sound
Dues abolition fund, would be a mere baga'clie, as
compared to England's portion, more particularly,
as she not unfrequently pays her debts to inferior
powers in kicks instead of copper. Still, as it would
be a great matter for the CZAR to divert the friend-
ship of Denmark from the Western Powers, it is

?ME O.OI3,THEEN T:MES..LIV)IipooI

just possible that ALEXANDER may pay Russia's
share of the exaction project. But England must
be no party to the purchase of a right of way for
her ships and commerce on the seas. Once
countenance such a precedent, and where will the
like demands end ? There is no calculating the
danger to be apprehended from the admission of
such a principle.
The histoi y of the Sound Dues are too well
known to the people of this country to think of
their being tolerated for any length of time, and
the British and Danish Governments must make
up their mind to their speedy abolition. Our
scribes who never bestow a thought on the heavy
burdens pressing on trade in these days of com
petition would have us pursue a very
different course. The Copenhagen correspon-
dent of the London Times attempts to give
the whole of the present scheme .a most
singular political colouring. He says :
`` England, whose interest it seems to be to watch
" over the independence of Denmark, has declined

"to enter into the proposed arrangement. It is
" easily understood that the payment of more than
" I,ooo,oool.—the proportional share of Great
" Britain—may awaken apprehensions in a con-
" stitutional Government; and no Government
" can be expected to be inclined to call upon

" the nation whose interests are committed to
" their care to pay a similar sum." This is the old
story of Great Britain's watching over the inde-
pendence of other States, and paying her millions
of hard earned treasure for the high privilege of
intermeddling in the affairs of others.

But our inestimable cotemporary continues in a
still more erratic strain :—" But the English nation
" has interests of a higher order than pecuniary
" ones—interests calculated for future times—
" interests of European influence and hegomony.
" From this point of view I think England might
" try to indentify its own advantage with that of
" other nations, and I am scarcely wrong when I
" affirm that the British sympathy of this country,
" which in later years have greatly increased,
" would be considerably impaired if Denmark's
moderate and reasonable proposals should meet
" with opposition from the very country which has
" the solution of the question in its hands, and
which, of all States, is the one best qualified to
" prepare a transition from the existing state of
" things to another state more consistent with
" the exigencies of the time, without violently
"making away with old traditions," Was there
ever an equal amount of folly put on paper to
justify the expenditure of a million of money ?
What have we to do with the " making away with
" old traditions?" European influence and hegomony
may be too dearly bought. The great influence we
want is freedom for our commerce from all unjust
and arbitrary taxation ! What can Denmark add, or
take away, from our influence as a mercantile or
political Power? She has mulcted us to the extent
of millions in the payment of dues, and will
continue to do so if the people will let her ; but she
was not so ready to side with England against
Russia in the late war. We owe her no homage,
and we are not bound by any rule of international
law or public equity to continue paying her several
hundrecrthousands a•year, for which we receive no
consideration beyond a right to navigate an open
sea way ! And since the British Cabinet have
been prudent enough to decline entering into the
capitalisation scheme, it is to be hoped that they
will not, at the eleventh hour, lack the moral
courage to say " these Sound Dues are a public
" nuisance—let there be no more Sound Dues'"

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING

The Liverpool Cotton Market has been quiet
to-day, and only a small business has been done,
the sales amounting to 5,000 bales, of which 1,500
have been taken for speculation and export. Prices
have been fully maintained.
The amount of business done in the Share
Market hak not been large, but the market has been
steady, and prices closed as under :—Aberdeen, 124

There was only a small attendance at the Liver-
pool Corn Exchange this morning, and the trade
generally was dull. _ _

- In the Manchester Goods Market there has been
but a small amount of business done. In Yarns
there was little done, but prices ruled firm. Cloth
was much the same as on Tuesday last.
The Funds to day were very favourably affected
by the explanation made by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, at his interview with the city capital
ists. Notwithstanding several sales in preparation
for the loan, and an increased demand for money,
there was a steady advance up to the termination
of business, prices finally closing 3 per cent, higher
than yesterday. The Fund quotations were 93_2_
931. The demand for money was to-day active in
nearly all quarters. Until the release of the sur-
plus deposits on the loan next week, the market
must be exceptionally disturbed, as the aggregate
of the subscriptions will, doubtless, be far
in excess of the sum required by Government.
The following were the closing quotations of
Foreign Exchanges :—Amsterdam, short, 11 181
to 11 191. Do., three months, 12 11 to 12 11.
Rotterdam, do , 12 I/ to 12 11. Antwerp, do.;

21 to 10 24. Trieste, do., 10 22 to 10 26.
Petersburg, do., 36k. Madrid, do., 491 to 50.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent Rentes
showed scarcely any variation from the final
quotations of yesterday. The Railway Share
Market was generally better, and prices at the close
were as follows:--Caledonian, 59 592. Eastern Coun-
ties, 9 l 1-16 915 16. East Lancashire, 76 78. Great

THE NEW LOAN.

INTERVIEW WITH THE CHANCELLOR OP

THE EXCHEQUER

Yesterday afternoon, by special invitation, a consi-
derable number of bankers, merchants, and others, had
an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
reference to the proposed new loan of five millions. There
were present the Lord Mayor, Mr. Weguelin—the Gover-
nor of the Bank, Baron Rothschild, M.P., Baron Gold-
smidt, Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P., Mr. Capel, Mr. R.
Ricardo, Messrs. R. and T. Thornton, Mr. Cazenove, &c.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer (who was attended by
Mr. Hayter, M.P.) said he had asked for the present
interview for the purpose of affording any further infor-
mation that might be required upon the subject of the
proposed new loan. He regretted that Lord Palmerston
was unable to attend on account of indisposition. The
terms of the loan wore fully set forth in the letter which
he had addressed to the governor and deputy governor of
the Bank of England. Her Majesty's government proposed
to contract on Mon lay next for a loan of five millions
sterling, to be raised on consolidated per Cent.
Annuities, upon the following terms :

" For ever.* .€lOO subscribed in money, the contractors
will receive £3 per cent Consolidated Annuities. The
biddings to be made in such annuities.
" The interest on the .W 3 per cent Consolidated
Annuities will commence from the sth of January, 1856.
" The days of payment, and the proportions of the con-
tributions to be paid, will be as follows :

"On Thursday., May 22, 1856, a deposit of RIO par
cent.

" On Thursday, June 12, 1856, a payment of .e2O per
cent.

"On Saturday, June 28, 1856, a payment of .e2O per
cent.

"On Thursday, July 24, 1856, a payment of '2O per
cent.

" On Thursday, August 28, 1856, a payment of £lO per
cent.

" On Thursday, September, 1856, a payment of .4'20 per
cent.

" For each instalment after the deposit a proportional
amount of stock will be created for the contributors.
The stock for the deposit will be created at the same
time with that which will be due on payment of the last
ins tal went.

"No discounf win be allowed for prompt payment.
" Script receipts will be issued by the bank in the usual
manner."

He (the Chancellor) did not know whether he could
give any further information

Mr. *Cape' observed that two payments were to be
made in June, one of them on a Saturday, the most incon •
venient day of the week that could be fixed upon. It
would be well if this payment could be postponed until
the 10th of July. _ _

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he could not
postpone, but he could advance it. He had named the
very last day possible.

Baron Roih'schild urged that there would be no use in
putting back the loan, inasmuch as if Saturday was
the day the amount could always be paid on the Friday
previously.

- The Chancellor of the Exchequer was afraid that Satur-
day (June 28) was the last day that could be named for
that particular payment.
Mr. Capel said that, as the governor of the Bank was
present, perhaps the Chancellor would put a question to
him relative to the advances on scrip during the shutting
of the books.

Mr. Weguelin (the governor) said the Bank was always
ready to advance on government securities at the current
rate of interest.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought perhaps he
might mention, that the loan which was now proposed
was calculated to cover the whole of the estimated ser-
vice of the year, with the exception of two millions, and
he should propose to take power for issuing upon this
exchequer bonds, in the event of the market being favour-
able, in order to cover that margin of two millions.
These two millions, however, would not, under any cit.-
cmstances, according to his calculation, be required till
the end of the present year, or probably not until tho
first three months of 1857. That would cover the entire
estimated expenditure which was now before the public
for the present year. It would be for the discretion of
the government whether they would require any con-
tingent vote for any additional expenditure that might
take place. But that would be the extent.
Mr. Capel wished to know whether he was to under-
stand that the Chancellor would not fund the Exchequer
bills ?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said it was not his
present intention to take any steps for funding the
Exchequer bills.

In answer to a question from the Lord Mayor,
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that as it was
difficult to estimate the expenditure of a war, so it was
difficult to ascertain the expense of bringing home the
troops, but at the same time he confidently expressed an
opinion that the two millions would not be required. The
object of the government would be to transact the busi-
ness in a manner best calculated to sustain the public
credit.

Baron Rothschild—The biddings are to take place on
Monday next ?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer—Yes ; on :Monday
the 19th, at ten o'clock, at the Treasury.
Baron Rothschild—And the first payment is to be made
on Thursday, the 22nd inst.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer:—Yes. A deposit of
10 per cent.
The interview then terminated.
