THE PROPOSED PILOT BILL.—At a meeting yesterday
of the Pilot Committee of Liverpool, the Mayor (Samuel
Holmede, Esq.) presiding, a petition to the House of
Commons was adopted, praying that a deputation might
be heard in opposition to the proposed bill, but especi-
ally to the clauses proposing to grant pilots certificates
to masters and mates of ships.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—LIVERPOOL, April 4.—The
quantity of gold brought by the passengers on board the
Great Britain, was very large, almost every passenger
having from 1501. to 2,0001. in his possession, which
was in most cases placed in charge of the chief officer.
The Great Britain brought 135,000 ounces on freight.
Six passengers who went out by the ship have returned
by her, and all give a most favourable account of her,
both as regards the ship herself and the accommodation
on board. They have written a letter to Messrs. Gibbs
Bright, and Co., congratulating them upon the success
of the voyage, and speaking warmly in praise of the
ship. Some f them are again going out by her next
voyage. Captain Matthews, Mr. Cox (first officer), and
Mr. Grey (second officer) have each received testimonials
from the passengers. The success of the various pas-
sengers by the Great Britain was very curious. One
man had made 20,0001. in 10 months by keeping a
public-house in Melbourne ; another upwards of 30,0001.
by a circus, in a short space of time. A sailor who had
deserted from a ship had 2,0001. with him ; and a com-
mon carter rather above that amount. One passenger
displayed a lump of pure gold weighing upwards of 81b.
and valued at 4001., which he had picked up with his
own hand. The ship brought some wool from Sydney
and the Cape, and 500 boxes oranges from St. Michael's
The specie has all been placed in the Branch Bank of
England.

LONDON FARMERS' _LIJB.—An interesting discussion
took place at the London Farmers' Club, last night,
upon the economy and advantage of covered farm build-
ings. The subject was ably introduced by Mr. Wm.
Cheffins, of 62, Moorgate-street, and spoken to by Mr.
Fisher Hobbs, Mr. Robert Baker Mr. Sherer, Mr.
Jackson, and other gentlemen. The discussion termi-
nated with the adoption of the following resolution
That after the variety of systems advocated this even-
ing, the club will not undertake to recommend any one
in particular ; the great point being to adapt the build-
ings to the occupation they may be erected on ;,soil,
climate, and situation being carefully considered." The
