THE CORPORATION ACCOUNTS.

The local financial statement for the year, which 51
subjoined, must be regarded as a very satisfactory one•
The balance in favour of the Corporate estate, against its
bonded debt is £424,004, made up principally by the sale►
to the Dock Committee, of land at the North Shore--
4'250,879, land at Wallasey—£32,37s, and the amount
awarded for the Reversion of the Pool, cost of arbitration
and interest. The amount due on the latter account is

£B,BOl, which, we presume, is something over the interest
for the year.

says the Democratie, found in the drawer of a commode
in the bed-room of the late Duke.
