C lit preserve a proper system or keep people in their
places. Per the, public goed they should carry out these
things on a scale of economy, and purchase the ground at
the lowest price and sell it at the dearest, and 'for these
reasons it w,as essentially desirable that the hole staff
should be. concentrated. tinder one roof, and` that the
situationin Dale-street shoUld recei.C-c the sanction of the
Council. - .
__

Mr. Picton explained that, so far as, he was personally
concerned; it wonldbe tohis ownintere'st that the removal
should take place 'to Pale-street.
Mr. Anthony supported the removal to Dale-street.
Mr. Tobin said, as this report was before the Council
for the first time and involved an outlay of not less than
£lOO,OOO, he thought any defeision upon it should be
postponed to the next meeting' of the Council, and he
moved that it be postponed. (Hear,.hear.)
Alderman Turner seconded the motion.

Mr. Stitt said, the report in favour of concentration in
one building was perfectly unanswerable, and he looked
upon further delay as altogether useless. To talk of the
building on the other side of the road, was to commence
de MVO, and ihrbWasicb all that had been done in the last
three years. lie admitted the full force of the hallowed
feelings which might be attached to the prestige of this
building, but he lo,oked upon other considerations as more
important, and, instead of adhering to this building-, he
considered the proper and wisest course would be.to build
a noble-and suitable building in Dale-street, for all the
public offiees •
-Mr. Turner said he had 'no objection that the question
postpqnQd to the next Council. meeting. (Rear, hear,
and "'No,'no.")

Mr._ Shiel said—after having fully weighed well the
arguments he had heard, and considering that this
question had now baen disCus'sed for three years, he could
not see why a postponement was needed. He thought
he was justified in saying that:3lr: • Tiirrier's• -Views' were
undecided ;" but that was no reason why the 'other mem--
bers of the Council should not exercise their opinion. The
concentration of all the offices in a gOod plain building Would,
and he said it on. the authority of one of their principal
officers, save £6,000 a-year in the time of well-paid
officers and in other respects. The difference between
erecting the proposed new building near the Present .Town-
hall, and erecting it in Dale-street, would' be £82;000.
Here, only 2,000 yards of land could be had; 200. yards
of which would have to be pUrchaied ; and that qamitity
of land would not be sufficient. In Dale-street, the plan
was laid out on -4,000 yards, which would really be
required, considering. the rapid increase of the business
of the town. One important point that could never
be in. a number of buildings, was in-
spection,'
which2eould ' secured in one building.

(Hear,, hear.) If they went on in the way proposed,
instead of erecting a proper building they would 'Sethi
have the same annoyances which had been experienced
by. the Post-office, and Whibll had been found in con-
nection with .the building in.' Cornwallis-street. The
ratepayers would look rather to what was useful,'lnore
than to gratifying a little vanity in. connection with this
building.

Mr. Jeffery denied that Mr. Turner's proposal would
effect any real concentration, or that its busines. could
be conducted effectually. with the offices thus
divided. It would. cost twice as much, and would not
allow of any effifeictit 'working of the staff. At the
time of the town dues struggle, the Towii Clerk
wanted a particular document from. the ' archives of
the building, and it was with the greatest difficulty
he found it, and it was so covered with dlist,•that cart-
loads had to be'removed before it could 'be got -at. He
thought the *convenience of the Mayor was a mere
bugbear. If it were formally arranged that the Mayor
attended from eleven to three each day, all who-desired
to see him on business deputations, 'and who did not come
within those hours, must wait until next day.
He Was opposed, from his past experience,
to their putting the question' into the hands of the
finance committee. That committee told the Council
they had already more than they -Could fairly grapple
with, and he did not think,. therefore, the- Council
ought to be so cruel as -to put anything' more .upon
them.

Mr. Turner, in replying,' assured the Council that he
had well and carefully considered the subject before
bringing forward his motion. He urged that the
finance committee was the most proper body to refer
the question to. '
The Council then divided upon the amendment, when
there appeared: _ , _

For Mayor Aldermen : Bennett, Dover; Parker,
Gardner. Councillors : Messrs. Stitt, Woodruff,'Creliin,
Sheil, Corhalty, Barton, Clerk, Steains, Bowling,
Jeffreys, Ridley, Rogers, Job, Gladstone, Jeffery, Johnson,
Mellor, Kitchen, Hodson, Clint, Beckwith, Anthony,
and Cropper. Total-28.

AOin;<ii—Aldermen : Cooper, Turner, Shand, Houghton,
Hohne. Councillors: Anderson, Turner, Ryley, Shand,
Wag.staff, TObin, Earle, Picton, Robertson, Farnworth,
aneVernon. Total-16.
The amnAment was therefore carried.

Mr. Tobin propocd another amendment, to the effect
that the consideration of the question be, postponed to
the next meeting of the council.

Alderthara. Ti. Turner seconded the amendment.
Subsequently, however' • Mr. TObin consented .to with-
draw the amendment, and the motion was then put. and

carried

THE CLERI 'OP THE PEACE

The-special.committee upon the subject of the Clerk of
the Peace and his fees, brought forward the following

report :
_ The special committee, appointed on the 24th No

•
last, to 'investigate the matter involved in the Report of
the Town-clerk relative to the Clerk of the Peace, and
in the statement of the Clerk of the Peace,

" REPORT

" That they considered it necessary, at the commence-
ment of their inquiries, to be'advised by counsel as to the
legal position of the Council and of the Clerk of: the
Peace, under the circumitances which have taken place.
Your committee accordingly directed the Town-clerk to
prepare' a case embodying the facts, and to submit the
same for the joint opinion of the attorney and solicitor-
general, Mr. Weisby and Mr. -Milward. This has been
done, and these learned counsel are of opinion that the
COrporation have, a remedy against the Clerk of the
Peace should-he persist in refusing to abide by the agree-
ment entered into by him.. Your committee, therefore,
recommend that they be authorised to take such steps,
and adopt such proceedings in relation to the matter
referred to them, as counsel may advise. • .

" JAS. R. JEFFERY, Chairman."

Mr. Jeffery moved that the proceedings of the com-
mittee be confirmed. lie 'should first remark to the
Connell that the original motion appointing the com-
mittee did not 'render that step necessary,' bat the com-
mittee thought it would be only respectful to the Council
and the public to givethem such information as was in their
power and as appeared in the- report. They only asked
permission to proceed, as they should be advised. The
original motion gave the committee full power to do so;
and therefore the Council in` Sanctioning the report;
would not be giving any increased powers.
Mr. Clint seconded the motion.

Mr. Ryley asked whether the committee had had an
interview, or any communication with the Clerk of the
Peace. •

Mr. Jeffery: We
,have not sir. We do not consider
that to be our duty.

Mr. Ryley said the council wouletprobably confirm the
report, but he would simply .snggest, whether it would
not be desirable to have some consultation with the Clerk
of the Peace ? I would be a very unseemly thing to see
the Corporation and the Clerk of. the Peace engaged iii
litigation upon sacra subject.
Mr. Jeffery said, Mr. ,Wright or any of his friendS
were to make any overtures to the committee, they would
gladly- receive any communication, and would be very
happy to meet it in a spirit of fairness. It rested, howoreri
with the council to say whether the committee were to
make any advances to Mr. Wright. His own opinion was,
that if they did so, they would be committing a mistake
(hear,. hear.) The. opinions which they ha . obtained,
were of a very definite character, but.they had no desire
whatever an- litigation, if it could be avoided.

Mr. Gladstone thought, after what had taken place,
the Council would be very much out of place indeed in
going -to Mr. Wright. He thought they were
not requiring any thing extravagant in thinking
that if any arrangement were to be made, the overtures
§hould come from Mr, Wright, and he felt very much for

the
Town-clerk, who certainly had not been treated as a
ruin of honour ought to be. (Hear, hear.)
The repart was then adopted.
' A letter was read troth. Mr. J. B. ,Hughos, father of
the,late Mr. Linton Hughes, expressing his thanks for
the vote.of sypathy passed by the Council on the occasion
'of his son's =death, and, in. briefly recapitulating the
leading eventi; of his official life,: stating that
the labours imposed upon him during the
Rivington Pike question, and the Town. Dues struggle
had led to the breaking down of his mentaUand, physical
powers.

Mr. Gladstone said whilst sympathising in the natural
feelings 'of die=writer, he thought that even in grief some
moderation ought.to.be observed When it t was. stated
that the illness-;of Mr. Hughes. _was produced by his
labotif~s` fn" the 'Town Dues struggle, and other .xnattits
connected -with the Corporation,- he. would. ask - ;any
of - the members of the Council, who had been.-!. in
the habit' of seeing, Mr. HUghes upon the committees,
whether; however -great his • excellence might •-have
been, that statement could • possibly- be received with
anything like authority ? It really was coming it " too
strong" -upon -them. They.; were willing,to do what was
right; and to accord what' was fairly due; but. to state
that what" occurred' had been the, result of:'the, labours
imposed upon Mr. Hughes in his official.position under
the. corporation,*,: he believed in his • conscience to be.
incorrect.-' (Hear; hear.), • I .
Mr. 'Bennett was. exceedingly sorry .to hear such a re-
mark from Mr. Gladstone: The lad, Mr. Hughes had
very heavy duties to perform while the Town-clerk was
in ,London. Hellad seen Mr. Hughes, in his healthier
days, in the very greatest,. excitement, owing to the
pressure of business. In the Town-clerk'.s absence the
bulk of the work fell upon-Mr. Hughes. ,

ILLUKINATED•CLOCKS

A memorial was read from the inhabitants of, St.
Anne-street, praying that the clock on St. Anne's Church
be lighted up at night: •
Mr. Hodson supported the memorial.
The matter was referred to the finance committee.
MR. STITT'S MOTION.

Mr: Stitt moved the following resolution " That a
spec—id committec.be appointed to , examine and report
upon the present inequalities in the rating of the different
districts otthe borough, with. a view to provide a remedy
for the same,. with power to confer with the proper
authorities relative to an assimilation of the poor rates."
Mr. Hodson seconded the motion.

3fr. Cooper objectod to it, and said there were some
biwnships drained and sewered and some not, how could
they, therefore, make the rates equal.
The motion, however, was allowed to pass.

Mr. Stitt then named the following committee—
Messrs.-:
Anderson, Sheil,: Haydock, olden, Tyrer,
Steains, James Holme, Graves, Shand, Tobin, Gladstone,
Picton, Hodson, Aikin, Farnwerth, Anthony,:DJver, and
Stitt. • '

THE ENQUIRY UNDER THE FINANCE CONIMITTEE

Mr. Jeffery said 'there was a paragraph going The
round of the papers, having reference. to a committee
sitting in the hall upon some enquiry, and he thought it
would be. well if some member 'of the finance • committee
would give the ,Council some information as to, whether
there was any truth. in . the paragraph, and, if so, how
much of it was true. .

The Mayor said the Town-clerk - would answqr the
question. •
The .Town-clerk said he might state to the Council the
circumstances which came to his knowledge, which he
thought it necessary to lay before the. finance committee,
in reference to certain persons in his establishment, .and
fin enquiry . being :made , into those, , circumstances,
and if necessary a report would be brought before . the
Council next meeting, but I may State it does not affect
any question of decided wrong on the part of any of the
officers.

Mr. Gladstone : It does not affect the funds of this
corporation

The Town:clerk: No sir. There is no imputation of
dishonesty, or any question of that sort.

THE COUNTY COURT

Mr. Jeffery. asked *what was the present position of
the County Court. Last 'year they,. took some

considerable and trouble to have .-the County.
Court in a more efficient : state;--. and the legisla-
fure;•he -believed, .conferred additional powers ,on the
Lord. Chancellor for this purpose, and- he (Mr. 4-effery),
would be glad to know if any steps, had been taken to
give the public the benefit of this.
• The Town-Clerk replied that the districts had been
altered. Liverpool; Ormskirk, and St. Helens now formed
two districts, and two judges had been appointed, so. that
a judge will sit in Liverpool, continually, throughout the
year—every week-day except Saturday..
The Council then broke up.

LIVERPOOL, POLICE INTELLIGENCE

BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.

Joseph Mattocks, a soldier, was charged for having
robbed man, named Edward Jones, 'of some money.
Mr. Black appeared for the prisoner. It seemed that
the parties met in a public-house, where they had some
drink, and after that they went to the theatre. When
they left, they went to another public-house, where, the
complainant alleged, the prisoner robbed him. Mr
Black, on cross-examination of the prosecutor, elicited
such facts, as induced the magistrate at once to discharge
the prisoner.
Mary Jones, who stood remanded on a charge of having
stolen £.50 from a tailor, named Schwarsenski, who keeps
an outfitting establishment in Whitechapel, was brought
up. for final examination. Mr. Bluck appeared for the
prisoner. The details of this case were published a fevi-
days ago,and the evidence having'been gone into de nero,
his Worship sent the prisoner-for trial.
M,IBEZZLE3tEI4T.—A personi named Frederick Goulding,
an assistant to Mr. Thompson, stationer, was charged for
embezzling certain sums of money belonging.to his em-
ployer. The prisoner confessed having taken certain sums
of money from his employer, and Inspector Horn having
Searched his lodgings, got the greater part of the money
there. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced
to two months' imprisonment.

SMOKE NUISANCES

BEFORE MFSSRS. RANKIN AND CIIALLONER

Mr. Wignall, the inspector of smoke nuisance, sum-
moned the following persons for .violations of the sm9ke
nuisance act. Mr. M‘Gowan appeared for ;the prose-

cation

The. first person summoned was Messrs James Leitch
and Co., sugar • refiners, .Ellenborough-street, who were

charged' under the act, for a violation of its provisions,
on the Ist January. Mr. Leitch appeared, and pleaded
guilty, and the bench fined him -.6'2 and costs.

iNtesrs. John :McNicoll and Co., steam mills, Harring-
ton-street, Park, were summoned, under the same act,

THE PRINCESS FREDERICK WILLIAM.—The Nord
contains a letter, from Berlin, dated Friday last, in which
we read :—" We are expecting the accouchment of the
Princess Frederick William, from day to day. The ac-
coucheur of Queen Victoria, and an English nurse, are on
their way. Another nurse of the Rhenish province will
be at the disposal, of the Princess, who, I should add,
remains marvellously well. On the occasion of her
delivery, some of the political prisoners and refugees look
for an amnesty.". It is mentioned in another letter that
the nurse now in the royal household, is the wife of a
.husbandman in Westphalia.
• EXECUTION AT GlBRALTAR.—Gibraltar, Jan. sth.
Yesterday the whole of the garrison assembled under
arms, and marched. to Windmill-hill, the southernmost
part of the Rock, to witness the execution of a private
soldier of the 2nd battalion of the 6th Regiment, named
'.Connor. This unfortunate young man, who was only
eighteen years of age, was hanged. for having, without
provocation, on Sunday morning, December 19th, at'
eight o'clock, killed Serjeant Taylor, of his own company,
by firing at him ,with his rifle. None of the inhabitants
were, -by strict orders of the authorities, allowed to
witness the execution, which took place at eight a.m.
precisely. ,
WRECK OFF NEWBIGOIN, NORTHUMBERLAND.
Newbiggir, Monday.—At two o'clock'yesterday morning,
lights were observed to burn from a vessel aground off
Newbiggin Point. It was blowing hard at the time'
with a strong east Wind and heavy sea. The life-boat
of the National. Life. Boat Institution, was immediately
launched,. proceeded to .the wreck, took off her crew of
four hands, whom she safely brought ashore., The night
being,.very dark the .vessel was supposed to have' come too
near, the laud. She proved to .be the schooner Betsy,
of Sunderland. Fortunately she was subsequently got off
and safely brought into harbour. The life-boat's crew
of fourteen men have been paid £l4' for their valuable
services on the occasion. This is one of the most com-
plete life-boat stations on the coast, and reflects much
credit on all concerned in its management. The National
Life Boat Institution has life-1)04s thoroughly equipped
on this exposed coast at the following places :—Berwick,

There was. a special meeting of the Netherlands
Lands EnclOsure Company . to-day, Mr. Bidder
in the chair, when the new agreement made

made to the 1,000 acres of land redeemed. having
cost the shareholders £400,000. The new agree-
- ment will exempt the shareholders from further
liabilities involving an additional outlay of £200,000,
which is something for the future., The .ehairnin
• said the arrangement now made was the best that
could be 'done for the shareholders. The report of
the directors was eventually adopted.

Respecting' trade in' the north of Ireland; our
Belfast correspondent states—
The time has not as,yet arrived when it has become
competent on our-part to statQ that, the upward tendency
•in flax has ceased to exhibit itself. ;On the contrary, flax
during the past week attained to prices still higher than
has been previously. reported. Not§tay to onward prices
has as yet manifested itself. The extravagant figures to
which the raw material has attained is a-circnmstance the
• reverse of favourable to the general interest of the trade.
Yarns are in fair request. at late advance, and happily
. stocks do not accumulate. Brown goods generally find
a tolerably ready sale, at lately advandedeurrency, and
in some descriptions of both hand and power-loom mann,
factures an advance of say fd per yard has been obtained;
White and finished goods are in fair demand,' especially
for the home trade, with but little change to chronicle
in prices. .The tendency, however, is towards advance.
