LIVERPOOL and :11ANCHESTER RAILWAY BILL,

It is understood that many of the promoters
of the Railroad from Liverpool to Manchester have travelled
through Ireland, and, by every means in their power, have en-
deavoured to impress the inhabitants of that country, with an
opinion that it would tend to the advantage of its agricultural
interests, by aff)rding a cheaper and quicker communication
with the populous manufacturing districts of England. When
the facts are sufficiently known, it will be left to the Gentle-
men who represent Ireland, to consider whether there has not
been an attempt to mislead them.
The corn vessels from the different ports in that island are
unloaded in the docks at Liverpool immediately into the vessels
of the Trustees of the Duke of Bridgewater, and those of the
proprietors of the Mersey and Irwell Navigation, as well as
into the vessels of other carriers navigating the respective canals,
and by them their cargoes are conveyed to Manchester, loch.
dale, Wakefield, &c. with regularity and dispatch, and without
changing bottoms.
It is clear that Irish corn could not be removed from the
Docks at Liverpool to the Railroad to be carried in waggons,
without being subject to an expense and risk which are not in-
curred at present; and as it cannot be carried in bulk with
safety in these waggons, the wear and tear and frequent loss of
the sacks, which it would be necessary to use in the one case,
and not in the other, would certainly prevent the trader in
Corn from adopting that mode of transport to advantage, espe-
cially as the freight paid on the canals will be found to be 'as
low as the projectors of the Railway offer to the public, and, it
is apprehended, much lower than they will be able to realize
Ishould they be authorized to establish the Railroad. The
freight+ of Corn is ten shillings per ton between Liverpool and
Manchester.

It is ridiculous to suppose that they can make good their
promise of effecting the transit from Dublin to Manchester in
sixteen or eighteen hours. The loss of the consumption of oats
would be felt by the Irish grower, and the breeders of horses
there would no doubt experience a decreased demand In conse-
quence of the adoption of the very objectionable power pro-
posed to be used in this undertaking.
Can any man suppose for a moment, that a few hours gained
in time, and a reduction °fon,' fourteenth, or at most one-tenth,
of a farthing per pound in carriage, which would not amount to
one thirtieth of a farthing per yard on manufactured goods,
could have any effect in bringing the surplus labour of Ireland
to :Illanchester ? and yet these are all the advantages whic'i
111 r. andars has to offer in support of that part of his case„, and
even these will not be realized.

There will be a conjunction of the Moon and
Georgium Sidus in Capricorn at half-past four o'clock to-mor.
row morning, and a Quartile of the Sun and Georgium Sidus
from Aries and Capricon at midnight.
As Mr. PITCHER, of Blackwall, was crossing
the river in a boat on Thursday, it was run down by a steam-
boat, and Mr. Pitcher was drowned.
