THE DAY'S NEWS.

The !quarterly meeting of the Chamber of
-Commerce vats held yesterday. The report of the
Council, which was read, ,was of an interesting
-character, but its purport hes already been in the
hands of -ant. readers. It states that a sub-
committee of delegates from the various Chambers
of Commerce of the country,las been appointed to
-consider the I rovisions of a new bill on commercial
,Jaw; after alluding to the .Mersey Dock and
:Flarbour
_Board. the report *asses on to review
the dock accommodation in Liverpool, in which it
in stated that such is quite insufficient for the
-commerce of the port. The Committee of the
Council have forwarded a communication to Lord
!Clarendon in favour of an expedition to exp'ore the
river imbesi, in Africa. It is also hoped that the
Government Bill for the erection of the General Post
• _ L/0 FtliMbtiU• 111
Directors had appointed a deputation to wait upon
tho:Dire,:tors of tae Bank of England in reference
to ,the suspension of the Bank Charter Act, and
they concurred in such a proceeding. Just after
tho ;meeting of the Council had broken up, it was
intimated that tho.. Bank had forestal Led their reso-
lution, and the deputation did not..of course, pro-
ceed to London. The Chamber ic of opinion
that -the Liverpool . office in London should be
continued.

The charge .of Mr. Justice Wightrnan to the
Granath-11.y, in the Aesize Court, yesterday, was of
a ratherinteresting character. His Lordship states
that Ras two. years. since ho sat on the bench at
Liverpool, and that the crime of the county has
increased, that is, in ,naarabers ; but that, comparing
the peptuation now with then, he is inclined to
believ6allatit has decreased, though very slightly.
He again :made some .very pertinent remarks
upon tls.e.becsetting.sin oUrunkenness, to which he
traces many of the criraes committed, and com-
plained aaf the practice of many magistrates,
in not taearing down and retaining with the depo-
sitiens, tkortatements of the accused, when ,they
make any faeloore the magistrate. " This omission
tends greatly ,to impede the due administration of
justice." 7he , several cases tried yesterday will
be found reporzetl at the full length which their
importance eequiree.
The enquiry ;into the death of the seaman,
Rod erigo, wasa-esuraed yesterday. Several witnesses
were examined—Firmer, whO went out as second
mate, and came2aome.as boatswain in the Elizabeth,
said that Leonia-Ant:v-01e captain ill-use the deceased
on one oceasiott, but that he had often heard the
captain swear at hire, and Roderigo cry out, as if
he -PIL6 being flogged. Rimmer did not think that
the deceased was fit to undertake the duties of an
able.seaman, but Ire coraZd take the wheel. The
cross-examination of thin witness di.l not elicit
anything in favour of the prisoners, on the contrary,
the further he was brtiteel the more he told against
the accused. The steward said that he had gone
out ; tile Elizabeth, and returned :in her. He
alwayasaw Roderigo very ,quiet, and he obeyed
orders. Seale other evidence was given, and the
inquiry was afijourned.
A focrth eff3rt was made to launch the Leviathan
yasterclu, and, so far, it was successful. Jo the
evening the whip was within four inches.of the
water. It is ho-yed that to-day's flood will zee the
ship resting .on ,the mighty waters of the deep.
As far as foreign news goes to-day, we may.nctice
that another Continental calamity has occurred in
the Paris Citadel 'of Vincennes. The interior of
the tower over the entrance fell on fiunday morning
with a terrible craeh,.harying a whole military post
in ruins. The loss of life must have been serious,
as sixteen dead bodies were taken out of the ruins .
in the course of the .day.—The people Sand
Government of Germany are bent upon
ctfind-
ag
in cut the true remedy' ; ainst the ravages
of" the financial crisis. The Assembly of
the citizens of Hamburg, extraordinallily
convoked by the Senate, has empowered the latter
to issue bonds to the amount of fifteen millions
Mark Banco. These bonds will be advanced to
the merchants on the security of deposited goods.
This is an imitation of a measure of the adventu-
rous Prussian financier, M. Hanseman, who, in 1818,
on the same principle, created so-called " Darlehen-
scassenscheine." The Prussian Government has,
by royal ordonauce, repealed for the period of three
months the laws regulating the amount of interest.
The Second Chamber at the Ifague„ on Friday,
rejected the budget to the minister of war, with
the slight majority of thirty-six against thirty-two.
Count de Morny, in opening the legislative assem-
bly at Paris, boasted of the inexhaustible resources
of his country. Telegraphic despat4hes have !open
received of the Australian Mail, which has reached
Alexandria. The Squatter Land pin, which has
been ficf444lQlsly
