the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuableehina,

matched, as of course cannot be mended. The latter want
ha;ssheen obviated by an extraordilary and effective invention,
by Mr. Ads:head, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is. a cement
that, may be said to heal in a perfect manner, all cracks .and
breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in

Right Hon. C. P, Villiers (the chairman of the late eomini the
on.publie houses.)
The magistrates of the borough of Liverpool beg to repTe"
sent to the Right Hon. Lord. Palmerston that in their opird°s
Vie present law' of licensing public-houses inunsatisfactory
requires amendment ; that, while they do not presume to mai,e.
any suggestion of their own for its improvement, they mat
remind his lordship that the whole Subject. has undergone a
thorough investigation by a more appropriate tribunal—a coin"
Mittee of the House of Commons; a committee moved for a
their instance and obtained by one of their own body—Mr. Vi t°'
Brown, the late honoura'ole member for Sorth Lancashire--
and they have much pleasure in referring his lordship to the
italunble suggestions contained in the report of that committee
to' the House of Commons (a copy of which they
..h?v,e.
the honour to enclose) and, whito they may and do
frviit,some of these suggestion; on points of detail, they des
to intiniate to his lordship their acquiescence in the gene'''.

peeZtilly'call his lordship's attention to the fact that, thong°
the Parliamentary committee emeluded their investigation
and runiletlatir report to the House of Commons so for' tag

Mr. H. EARLE asked if the Council could vote [Leer-

the expenses should be' paid out of the fees, aid

. WYBER,OH. said, in answer to a question, that,.t.l2:
Town Council were -only bound to provide suitable po_lll.,
offices for •the administration of justice by the 111;
traces ; and they were also bound to pay the magistra
clerk a fit and; proper salary. That was all.

The CHAIRMAN said, when the magistrates thought
desirable to prosecute certain parties for keeping,a,A to
putable houses, the magistrates' clerk was directed
furnish the Finance Committee with the notice or
_,ice
intention of the part of the magistrates. This ilf'be
was thought quite sufficient, and the prosecutions to
at the expense of the Council.
Mr. GI ADSTONE submitted- that there should be
frect
communication sent to 'the Town Council to the eec.,
that tha , magistrates felt themselves hampered in cua
ed
ting several matters'of public good which was occasion
by the absence of funds. He thought Mr. Aikin P7t
paid his own expenses on one or two occasions when

The CHAIRMAN said he could put that as a motion
he choose.
After some further observations, Mr. "Wybergh rpre3d,

magistrates to pay their own expenses,
