about 70 tierces found buyers at 50s for good ordinary, to
66s cwt for good middling; 250 bags Para Cocoa are
reported at 27s 6d cwt; and 50 bags Pimento, at 6d lb.
Of Rice 7,000 bags Arracan have brought 13s; and 1,000
begs Bengal to arrive, at 12s to 15s cwt, for broken to
fine.

TEA.—There continues a good demand for most descrip-
tions at advancing rates, but holders shew increased firmness.
IlinEs.—The market continues inactive, and there is no-
thing to report to-day.
Of Tallow 100 pipes South American brought 55s cwt,
for fair to good quality.
By public sale 250 bags Myrobolams went at 9s to 9s 6d;
and about 50 tons Iralonia, fair to good Smyrna, at £l5 23
6d ty ton, ex ship.
Corrox.—We have had a dull market to-day. The sales
are 5,000 bales, 1,000 having been taken for export, and on
speculation.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.-YESTERDAY.

There is a better general attendance of the trade to-day
than for several markets past. Foreign Wheats have met a
more extended sale, and the transactions, though not large,
have been to a fair extent, the value of all fine qualities fully
maintaining, and that of middle descriptions, such as Medi-
terranean, exceeding by a Icl to 2d ? bushel the currencies
of this day week. The farmers brought forward a good
supply, considerable disparity in the quality and condition ;
the best samples sold readily up to 10s 4d 70 lbs.
In Flour a good business has been done, chiefly at the
rates of Tuesday last for general good brands; extra super-
fine qualities are quite in small compass, and comparatively
high prices are being realised.
Irish Barley is in excessive supply, and all but the choicest
quality is offered 3d to 4d I) bushel cheaper.
Beans are dull at the quotations.
. Fine Oats are scarce, and command full prices, but in-
ferior descriptions are ld 3 bushel cheaper; and Oatmeal
has also declined Ocl to 9d 4)9 load.

Indian Corn in fair request at previous rates; several
floating cargoes are in hand, but being held above the value,
do business can at present be done.

THE BIBLE SOCIETY. - The annual meeting of the
Manchester and Salford auxiliary to the British and
Foreign Bible Society, was held last night in the Friends'
Meeting House, Mount Pleasant, Manchester. The meet-
ing was numerously attended. The chair was occupied by
the Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, and a great.ntim,
ber of clergymen were present.

SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SELECT '
VESTRY—THE CHARGES AGAINST MR.
BRADLEY.
A special meeting of the Select Vestry was held on y.ester-
day, at ten o'clock. The Rev. Rector CAMPBELL in the
chair.
The other members present were—Messrs. Whitty,
Gardner, Bradley, Denton, Mellor, Hand, Crawford, Blain,
Shaw, Hughes, Kitchen, Moss, Hutchinson, Whitley, Came.
Mr. DENTON begged to know if they had sufficient grounds
for such a meeting? With regard to its object, having re-
ference to certain charges made against Mr. Bradley in the
council, he (Mr. Denton) did not think they were justified
in taking up the subject, inasmuch as it had nothing
whatsoever to do with them.
The CLERK replied that the meeting had been called in
pursuance of a resolution of the finance committee. The
clerk then read the minutes of the committee, from which
it appeared that at their last meeting Mr. Bradley called
attention to the charge preferred against him by Mr. Hodson,
in the council, and moved that a special meeting of the
vestry should be called to consider whether any, and what,
steps should be taken in reference to such charge.
Mr. CARNE said, that considering two members of the
board had a right to summon a special meeting, he had
complied with the representation of the finance committee
in doing so.
The CHAIRMAN said, that all that appeared in the news-
paper quoted by Mr. Bradley, was that a direct charge had
" been made against him with respect to his conduct in the
municipal elections. That was all he knew about the
matter, but he did not think that they could act upon a vague
speech reported, and most probably accurately reported
in a newspaper. It was said, however, that the council had
appointed a committee to investigate into Mr. Bradley's
conduct ; but even so, he could not imagine how anything
thrown out vaguely by Mr. Hodson, without specifying any
particular' should be an affair in which the vestry was at all
concerned. It did not come before them officially, and even
if it did come before them in such a shape, it was so vague
that he did not see how they could undertake to investigate
such a charge. They were appointed, for a particular pur-
pose—for the transaction of parochial business, and this was
not parochial business. If the town council should decide
against Mr. Bradley, then, perhaps, the vestry might call a
meeting to consider what steps should be decided upon; but
at present he should say, in his humble judgment, it was a
matter with which they had nothing to do.
Mr. GARDNER observed that he should have a very poor
estimation, indeed, of Mr. Bradley if he did not call for an
investigation into his conduct by the vestry. There was no
doubt that they were implicated in the charge.
The CHAIRMAN : How ?
Mr. GARDNER : Mr. Hodson said "at another Board,"
and we all know that Mr. Bradley is only. connected with
this board and the council. Mr. Bradley, then, is entitled
as a member of this Board, and as a gentleman, to call for
an investigation into this charge.
Mr. DENTON : I object altogether to the principle you are
laying down. If it were admitted every little squabble that
takes place outside doors should be brought before this Board
as a matter with which we were concerned.
Mr. GARDNER : This is not a squabble outside—it is a
charge against a member of this Board.
. Mr. BRADLEY : I did think it my duty to bring this mat-
ter before this Board, inasmuch as Mr. Hodson has charged
me with having used in my position at this board means to
carry on unduly the election of Councillors. The words are
to this effect—" But this is not the only case against him ;
for he (Mr. Hodson) was sorry to say that he knew of two
or more instances not only in the council, but in another
public body, in which he was connected, and in which he
used the influence of his position to carry an election." Now,
I am not a member of any other board besides the council,
with the exception of this, and it must therefore necessarily
allude to my position at this Board. And as a member of
this board I did consider that it was my duty as a public
man to bring before the notice of this board the public charge
made against me. It affects us in two ways: first, as against
the Vestry, who are bound as a Board to investigate
it ; and secondly, as a charge personally against me, which
as sach you are likewise bound to investigate. I therefore
upon both those grounds considered it my duty to bring it
before your notice, so that I might place myself in your
hands—ln the hands of the Board, to say fearlessly that this
is a charge groundless in every respect, either by insinuation
or by, act. I do think, that when public men, at public
Boards, are charged in this kind of manner, affecting their
personal character, it does become a strict matter of duty
that the Board should be composed of such men that the
public could have the fullest confidence in them (hear, hear),
in carrying out that public duty which they are authorised
as a board to perform. I don't know that I have at any
time, while a member of this 'board, placed myself in a posi-
v--- -....,trgrr to that principle. It is for you to say whether
you have seen any [dn.., my conduct that could have
given rise to such a charge. I need not, my feel-
ings in some degree are much mixed up in a matter of this
kind, the more particularly when I see, that in some degree
there is a decided attack publicly made upon me, and that
there is not that kind of sympathy expressed
which the principle pronounced and at stake in
the matter should have called forth from the public press
of this town, with the exception of one journal. And it
afforded me very great pleasure to see, in the Albion of yes-
terday, the principle upon which these kind of mnttcrs
ought to be undertaken ; and T do hope that that principle
may come under the cognizance of the other
.papers of the
town, and then, if they will do that, I am quite satisfied I
shall have that fair, strict, and impartial inquiry, which
I don't think, under the surrounding circumstances in which,
as it appears to my mind, that I am placed, I should have.
I shall now say no more, than that it rests with this board
to say whether they will permit a member of this board tos-
be under the unjust remarks that have emanated from Mr.
Hodson in his charge against me.
The CHAIRMAN : There is no evidence before the board to
prove that Mr. Hodson made use of those words ; and even
if he had done so, it is not at all proved that they have any
reference to the Select Vestry ; and if everything any man
pleases to say, either in a newspaper or in the Town-Council,
is to be brought before us, we shall have special meetings here
every week to inquire into every description of charge. I, myself,
have been attackedby a most influential member—influential,
probably, in his own estimation—of the Town-Council; for that
in his opinion, I wouldbe much better employed in going about
through the back streets of Liverpool, than in presiding—
I do not know if he did not call it a "bear-garden"—but at
all events, that I could occupy my time much better than in
presiding here on the top of Brownlow Hill. That was a
charge against me—
Mr. BRADLEY : That is a matter of opinion.
The CHAIRMAN : But I might have called a vestry to
vindicate my character from such .an insinuation as that I
was grossly neglecting my duty as the Rector of Liverpool
in attending to the select vestry instead of going about the
back streets of Liverpool. The word "Vestry" has not,
however, been• used by Mr. Hodson at all. We do not know
if he refers to it; and therefore it is quite extrajudicial on
our part to go into this basin, ss at all. We are appointed
by law for a specific purpose as guardians of the poor of
this parish to conduct its parochial business—
Mr. BRADLEY : But it is the conduct of the business by
this board that the charge affects.
The CHAIRMAN : The charge has reference to elections
altogether.
Mr. BRADLEY : Precisely so.
The CHAIRMAN : It insinuates that Mr. Bradley com-
mitted a misdemeanor with respect to the municipal elections;
but it does not say that he committed a similar misdemeanour
with respect to the select vestry elections.
Mr. BRADLEY : If it were a mere insinuation such as you
were alluding to, I would treat it with the same silent
disdain ; but here is a public charge affecting the acts of a
public man.
The CHAIRMAN : But not the select vestry.
Mr. BRADLEY : lam a member of no other board, and
the charge is, that I used the position I have at the board
to carry out certain matters.
The C1LA.11012%.1,1 /our position to carry out an
election. What election is rt ? I never read anything so
absurdly vague as it is.
Mr. BRADLEY : But take the context of the speech.
Mr. Moss said that he had listened with interest to the
remarks which the chairman had made respecting his own
peculiar case, and that of Mr. Bradley, and he confessed
that he could not see any parallel between them. The
observations that were made by that distinguished
member of the council, whom he, (Mr. Moss)
had the honour to call his friend, though, perhaps, to
some extent somewhat vague, yet met with his concurrence.
He (Mr. Moss) also thought that the clerical position
would be much more efficient if removed entirely from
secular pursuits, and that it would be better for the chair-
man to attend to his sacred functions, than to preside over
what he believed had never been called a "bear garden."
That word he (Mr. Moss) had never heard from the lips
of Mr. Robertson Gladstone, but though the justness of
the observation might be a mltter of opinion, it did not
reflect on the chairman's private character in any shape
or form ; but this, on the other hand, was an attack on
Mr. Bradley's private character. He was accused of using
the influence which his position at that board gave him for
the purpose of carrying elections out of doors.
The CHAIRMAN : What sort of elections ?
Mr. Moss : Suppose that distinguished member of
the council had stated that you had exerted your influence
as chairman here to carry elections, how would you have
felt ? You would have felt, as Mr. Bradley feels, that there
had been a gross insult, and a gross wrong inflicted on
your character. Without prescribing to Mr. 13radley or the
board what course you should pursue, I think it is neces-
sary that the board should take up this matter and appoint
a committee, and ascertain the truth or falsehood of this
charge as the council did. Ido say that if it remains un-
contradicted, the public will naturally conclude that Mr.
Bradley allows judgment to go by default, and that he
submits to the charge because he could not repudiate it. I
do think that this vestry should institute some inquiry—
that a communication should be made to Mr. Hodson
demanding whether not or he alludes to this vestry, and what
particular charge he has to bring against this board, and
not sit down, sub silentio in the way the chairman suggests.
I feel the position in which Mr. Bradley is placed, and I do
think that it is the duty of the board to throw their mantle
of protection around him, consistent with what is right and
proper.
Mr. DENTON moved--" That as in the question bafois
