MEMORIAL TO GOVERNMENT OF THE
INHABITANTS OF BIRKENHEAD.

A memorial to the Commissioners of the Woods and
Forests, praying them to give consent to the bills now
before the Lords, was sent up yesterday for presentation
by the members of the county. It was signed by 6000
signatures, being the greatest number of names ever at-
tached to a similar document from that place : and will
he follnwecl un by a similar petition to the House of Lords

. .
praying them to pass the bill :
The humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of Birken-
head, Claughton, Oxton,,Tranmere, Bidston, Seacombe,

Lie count

Sheweth,
That a Bill is now pending before your Right Honourable
House, intituled "A Bill to authorize the Birkenhead Dock
Commissioners to construct an additional Dock and other

Works at Birkenhead, and for other purposes "
That, in the opinion of your Petitioners, the establishment of
Docks at Birkenhead will prove of the utmost importance to
the commerce of the river Mersey, and the interest of Birken-
head and the surronnding districts. _ _

That your petitioners Wailed with much satisfaction the open-
ing by the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Woods, &c., of
a portion of the Dock Works connected with Birkenhead.
That your Petitioners quite approve of the steps taken by the
Birkenhead Dock Commissioners in their application to Par-
liament in the present session for the above-mentioned Bill.
That, in the opinion of your Petitioners, the Dock sought to
he authorized by that Bill, will be of great advantage to the
Town and Trade of Birkenhead and the surrounding districts;
and the immediate establishment of Graving Docks will be a
considerable accommonation to the Trade of the Mersey.

That your Petitioners observed with satisfaction the Report
of the Lords of the Admiralty to Parliament, in favour of the
passing of the above mentioned Bill.
That independent of the importance it is to the Works at Bir-
kenhead, that the New Dock and Graving Docks referred to in
the Bill should be constructed, there are numerous clauses in
the said Bill very essential to the economical and expeditious
carrying on of the Trade which may frequent the Docks.
Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Right Honour-
able House that the said Bill may pass into a Law.
And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. •

NOVELTIES.--A broad-faced good-natured looking
Hibernian was yesterday brought up and charged by one
of those officious persons commonly known as police offi-
cers with having done a little more than " swell the cork"
on the day previously. Mr. Rushton " What have you
to say ?" Pat : " Ocb, nothing plase yer honor ; but I
only tuck a drop yesterday for novelties, and novelties it

me to lave yer honor's company to-day : it's not every
day that same happens." Pat was then informed that a
still greater novelty was in store for him,—that was to pay
ss. or suffer five days' imprisonment.

" BLACK SHEEP."—Yesterday, two bakers, respectively
named Denis M`Gowan, and Thomas Bridge, were
brought up before Mr. Rushton, and charged with com-
mitting a riot and assault upon each other in Whitechapel,
on Saturday evening last.. When asked what they had to
say in their defence, one of them alleged that the other
had applied the opprobrious epithet of " black sheep" to
him, and hence arose the quarrel ; whilst the other as
stoutly maintained that his brother " black sheep" was
in fault, having first applied that offensive nomenclature
to him. They were both fined, and then left the court
STEALING

—Yesterday a very neat and decent-looking
young servant girl was charged before Mr. Rushton, by
her mistress, Margaret Cogrer, with having stolen from
her house various articles of wearing apparel, and a quan-
tity of tea. It appeared that the articles had been stolen
for some time, and that the mistress arrived at the know-
ledge of her having done so from confessions which the
prisoner made herself. The prisoner having stated that
she made these confessions in consequence of a promise of
forgiveness which the mistress made her, the case was re-
manded for further inquiry.
HOUSE BREAKING.—On old offender, named William
Bingham, was yesterday brought up, and charged by In-
spector White with breaking into the house of William
Crumphey, Vauxhall-road. It appeared from the state-
ment of White, that he found the prisoner in the house
about one o'clock on Sunday morning last, all the inha-
bitants of it having previously gone to bed ; and when
found he had a quantity of tobacco, cigars, and some
copper money in his possession, and strewn about him.
He was then in a beastly state of inebriation. The land-
lord of the house deposed that he had locked up the pre-
mises about a quarter to twelve o'clock, when he was
quite certain there was no person in who did not belong
to the house. Committed for trial.
ACCIDENT TO THE TYNWALD STEAIyIER.--Yesterday,
we regret to learn, another accident, trifling in its nature
and consequences, occurred to the fine steamer Tynwald.
When leaving the pier-head for Douglas, her bow got
foul of an American ship's rigging, which was then lying
in the river, having just come out of dock. In the colli-
sion the Tynwald lost her bowsprit and some trifling por-
tions of her forward rigging, but nothing so dangerous
occurred as to prevent her proceeding on her voyage with-
out the least delay. We have been requested to state
that, from the recent accident which occurred to this
boat, no such damage ensued as that stated in a contem-
porary,—the ship's bottom was neither broken nor other-
wise injured.

COMMITMENTS.—Patrick Flyn and John Lancashire,
yesterday committed from the Police-court, for 14 days,
for stealing a bar of pig iron from the Queen's Dock.—
Bidy M'Guiness was also committed for a month for
stealing a loaf from the shop of Robert Howe.—Thos.
Martin was committed for three months, in default of

paying a tine of AZU, tor working a private still in Law-
rence- street.—Jane Taylor, for stealing a pair of boots from
the shop of Mr. C. Waistan, Byrom-st. , sent to the sessions.
James Higgins, was committed for seven days, for break-
ing the " van," whilst being conveyed to the bridewell in
a state of intoxication.—James Jennings, was committed
for three months for knocking down and robbing a sea-

IMPOSITION ON THE PARISH.—A woman named Kelly
was brought up before Mr. Rushton, and charged by Mr.
Reynolds with attempting to commit a fraud on the parish
authorities. He stated that he was engaged as assistant
to Dr. Cullan, and that on Saturday last the pri-
soner came to him, and sought for a note from him,
by which her husband—whom she represented to be
ill of fever—might obtain relief. She said that her
husband was then confined to bed in a court off Mil-
ton-street. He (Dr. Reynolds) visited the abode of
the family, who, when he went there, were all from
home. After waiting for some time, however, the woman
came in, and he asked for her husband. She then said
that he had gone out, as he had got into a great passion

because the .relief tickets had been refused him

THE EAST INDIA SALT MON
Liverpool has addressed his fello

'-electors on this sub-

ject. He urges that they should select such men for rep-
resentatives of the borough as will pledge themselves to
measures of practical utility, and amongst them the
abolition of the East India Company's Salt monopoly.
The writer states :—" The abolition would release several
weeks of the poor Indian peasant's labour; give him,a

great necessary of life at a comparatively trifling cost;
and enable him to devote his time and his savings to the
cultivation of sugar. cotton, and other products of the
earth. But apart from this, the abolition of the monopoly
of the manufacture of India salt would open the ports
of India to the reception of pure, cheap, British salt ;
load our outward-bound ships with profitable cargoes;
afford myriads of natives the means of buying our cot-
ton piece-goods, our hardware, crockery, glassware, &c.
improve the quality of the East India hides, and so
cheapen leather in this country and extend its consump-
tion. These are advantages in which the humblest En-
glishman will more or less participate."

LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL

SPAIN.
(From the Times)
Our accounts from Madrid are of the 4th instant, M.
Murillo and the other members of the last Cabinet had
addressed a letter to the Correo, in which they declared
that, to their knowledge, the King had never manifested
any wish to be invested with the superior direction of the
royal patrimony and the interior of the palace. Messrs.
Mon, Pidal, Sanz, and Caneja, on their side, had written
a similar letter to the Faro, in which they affirmed that,
under their Ministry, the King had never claimed the
government of the palace, nor the administration of the
royal revenues. The Heraldo announces that the
ministry had opposed an invincible resistance to the mar-
tine of the Infanta Josefa with General Portillo, and that
Count Ezpeleta was to be charged with the education of
.the minor children of the Infante Donna Francisco de
Paula. - The journal La Union bad ceased to appear.

Since' the foregoing was in type, the Madrid letters and
journals of the sth instant have reached us.

The Madrid Gazette of that date contains a royal de-
cree for the complete renewal of the provincial deputa-
tions. The elections are to take place in conformity with
the law of the Bth of January, 1845.
Some curiosity has been excited at Madrid by the de-
parture of the Progresista deputy and freetrader, Don
Sanchez Silva, for Saragossa, the bearer, it was said, of a
communication of importance from General Serrano to
Senor Olozaga, who is at present at Saragossa.
The Three per Cents. closed on the sth inst. at 271
cash ; the Five per Cents. at 17i ; Passives, 5i ; and the
Coupons, 13 cash.

ALGIERS

Letters from Algiers of the 2nd inst., state that Abd-
el-Kader, after his success over the troops of Abderrhman,
had occupied various points on the Riff, in order to secure
his communications by land with the interior of Morocco
and by sea with the exterior. The agitation in the coun-
try was very great. Abd-el-Kader had received consider-
able reinforcements, 'and neither wanted arms nor ammu-
nition. " England," says one of those letters, " cannot
be entirely a stranger to what is now passing in Morocco.
Once that Abd-el-Kader shall be seated on the throne of
Abderrahman. English influence will be all powerful in
Morocco. This is beyond doubt, and then will the peace
of our new colony be sadly compromised."

The house met at twelve o'cloel
ThP report of the Committee

brought

On the report of the Navig
brought up,
Lord J. MANNERS proposed to insert a clause for the
purpose of suspending the stamp duties on policies of in-
surance effected on grain-laden ships till the Ist of March,
1848.

'n (No. 2)

Bill being

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that
the clause could not be agreed to, because, from its nature,
it required to he moved in a committee of the whole
house ; and in that opinion he was confirmed by the
authority of the SPEAKER.

Some conversation then took place on the clause, in
which Mr. HUME, Mr. FORSTEE, Mr. THORNELY, and
Lord J. MANNERS took part ; but it was ultimately with-
drawn, and the report agreed to.
The house then went into committee on the Recovery
of Public Moneys (Ireland) Bill; and in the committee a
lively discussion arose in consequence of Lord CLEMENTS
telling the government that it ought not to ask Ireland
for any repayment of the money recently advanced to that
country, and of his denouncing the whole of our recent
TAO-, as havine been in the hiehest degree nn-

just and unfair

So unexpected an announcement roused the indignation
Mr. Hume, Mr. P. Scrope, and Sir J. Graham, who

all insisted that the repayment of the money advanced
to Ireland must be demanded from the landlords of that
country. Sir J. Graham moreover added, that it

distinct intimation should be given that the repayment
would be enforced in all cases where it was possible.
This declaration excited the spleen of Lord Clements
still more, and his lordship, after condemning the conduct
of the legislature and the government in the most violent
terms, observed that the house could not in decency pass
such a bill. If an attempt were made to do in England
that which the government had not scrupled to do in Ire-
land, Ministers would be hurried from their seats by the
indignation of the country.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not suffi-
ciently express the regret and astonishment with which he
had listened to the speeches of Lord Clements. When
the pressure of the calamity was most severely felt, the
landlords of Ireland said,— Tax us as much as you will,
but for God's sake, save the people from starvation!" The
Government had responded to that call, and had saved the
people. The very bill which Lord Clements now opposed
was introduced for the purpose of freeing Ireland from the
incumbrance of one-half the loan granted by the legisla-
ture for the relief of the distresses of the people ; and, if it
were rejected, Ireland would, in point of fact, be charged
with the repayment of the whole. He concurred with Sir
J. Graham in thinking that it was not too much to expect
that one-half of the loan should be repaid; and he now
gave distinct notice, that the repayment of that sum would
be enforced according to circumstances, and where it
seemed just. The repayment, instead of being demanded
at once, was spread over a, period of ten years, and the
first instalment would not become due till this time next
year. The Government knew well that it was easy to

away money in Ireland;

he trust(

Lie gooc

feeling of the population of Ireland would render the re-
payment of it much easier than Lord Clements supposed.
If the Irish proprietors were not willing to maintain their
own poor on the principles recognized in England and
Scotland, it was not to be supposed that the people of
Great Britain would continue to be taxed to support their
pauperism.
Mr. TRELAWNY contended that it was the bounden
duty of the Government to enforce the repayment of this
money, and, if that were resisted, to sell the land and
the landlords of Ireland together.
Mr. W. PATrEN observed, that if he could bring him-
self to believe that Lord Clements on this occasion repre-
sented the feelings of the people of Ireland, he would
offer the most strenuous opposition to this bill. Portions
of this country, and especially Lancashire, were abso-
lutely overwhelmed by an inundation of Irish paupers
cast upon our shores by the desertion of Irish landlords,
who ought to have maintained them ; and was it to be
supposed that the people of England would stand by and
quietly see a grant of £4,500,000 made to Ireland without
even the terms of common acknowledgment being offered
in return by the Irish representatives ? He told Lord
Clements that he had done great detriment to himself
and his countrymen by the speeches which he had just
delivered.

Lord CLEMENTS now became more mild than ever, and
observed, that if there was one part of the globe which
deserved to be taxed for the relief of Ireland, it was Liver-
pool, which had profited immensely by the distresses of
that country. Liverpool might be looked upon as the
capital of Ireland, and was as much bound to contribute
to the support of the Irish poor as any corner of Ireland.
Mr. NEWDEGATE could not conceive any thing more
unjust or irritating to the people of England than the
speeches of Lord Clements upon this bill. In what way
had Liverpbol profited by the distresses of Ireland ? Had
not the rates of that town been trebled by the influx of
the unfortunate Irish poor ? and had not its inhabitants
perished in numbers from the contagion of their diseases ?
He charged Lord Clements with endeavouring to create
in the bosoms of his countrymen feelings of hatred to-
wards Great Britain which were perfectly unjustifiable.
Mr; BjtomEaToN followed on the same side, and ob-

Is of Ir

served, that if our exertions to relieve the _
land were to be met in the spirit of Lord Clements, a
very strong feeling against any further advances to Ire-
land would be excited in. England.
After a few words from Mr. TRELAWNY, retracting his
expression respecting " the sale" of Irish landlords,
Sir F. FERGUSON observed that, as an Irish landlord,
he entertained no doubt but that Ireland would acknowledge
her liabilities, and that there would be no reason to regret
the liberality which England had displayed.
The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY could not but feel
that the language of Lord Clements was not that which
England deserved to have applied to her generosity. But
Lord Clements was not the only person who held up the

Government to reproof

could not but view as uncharitable

Mr. W. BROWN congratulated Lord Clements upon
enjoying the undivided honour of finding fault with the
benevolence of the people of England and the exertions
of the Government. As to the benefits which Liverpool
had derived from the distress of the Irish poor, whO

would have starved by the roadside in their ov

tants were at this moment reported to be suffering from
typhus fever, imported into that town by those unfortu-
nate and neglected wretches.
Lord W. Paulett, Mr. P. Ainsworth, and Mr. P. Scrope
followed on the same side ; after which the house resumed,
and the report was ordered to be received on Monday.
The other orders were then disposed of, and the house
adjourned.

THE DUKE OF CORNWALL, STEAMER, ON SHORE.
The Duke of Cornwall, steamer, from London for Fal-

four o'clock in Gerrans Bay, near the Gull Rock. The
mate was dispatched to the agents for assistance to get
her off, and a lighter was immediately sent.

LONDON CORN MARKET,

,-YESTERDAY

At the close of last week wheat met with an increased demand
at an advance of 3s. per qr.,, and large transactions reported.
The weather has become most splendid for the gTowing crops,
notwithstanding which our market opened this morning with
good spirit, and English wheat soon cleared at an advance of
4.5. to ss. per qr. over the currency of this day week.
A large attendance of country buyers caused a considerable
business to be done in foreign at the improvement noted on
Friday—say 2s. to 3s. dearer than last ➢tonday. American
flour fully is. per barrel higher.
Grinding Barley in better request. No change in Malt or
Peas. English Beans in short supply, at an advance of 28.-
The supplies of foreign Oats being but moderate, and having
an increased country demand, this article obtained fully 6d. to
Is. advance on last week's quotations, with an improved sale.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET .-YESTERDAY ESTERDAY

There was, compared with that exhibited on Monday last, a
considerable increase to-day in the number of home-fed Beasts
on sale, owing to which, and the prevailing hot weather, the
Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at a decline on the
quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of quite 2d. per 81b.
The numbers of Sheep were considerably on the increase,
hence the Mutton trade was extremely depressed, and the
currencies declined from 2d. to 4d. per 81b.
With Lambs we were well supplied. All breeds met a very
dull inquiry, at a reduction in value of 2d. per 81b. ; the ex-
treme range of value of the best Down qualities not exceeding
6s,per

The sale for Calves, the supply of which was small, ruled

rived at the Queen's Head Inn, in this town, yesterday
(Monday) afternoon, for the last time, having being su-

PLUNDERING or GRAIN ON THE IRISH COAST.—
Letters received from Westport and Sligo, dated Thurs-
day, state respectively that the Ranger, from Liverpool,
had been plundered of 150 barrels of Indian meal, and
that the ship Richard Watson, from New York, had been
boarded and robbed of 1,000 bushels of corn. Govern-
ment ought to suppress these depredations, which are
carried on to a most serious and frequent extent on the
coast of the sister island.

Waldemar, of Prussia, at the London Tavern. The en-
tertainment was most splendid. The chairman of the East
India Company presided, surrounded by many distinguished
personages, including Lord John Russell, and other mi-
nisters and noblemen, British and foreign. Many elo-
quent and appropriate speeches were delivered, and the
whole went off with the greatest eclat.

It appears that Mr. More O'Ferrall, not the least effi-
cient of the Irish members, has signified his intention of
retiring from the representation of the county of Kildare.
The Carlow Sentinel states, that Mr. C. Roberts, and
not the Marquis of Kildare, will be a candidate, along
with Mr. Bourke, jun., of Hayes, and Mr. Archbold, one
of the present members. However, it is generally be-
lieved that Lord Kildare will stand for the county with
the almost certainty of his election.

canvass of the city, as are also their opponents at the last
general election, Sir Buiwer Lytton, Bart., and Mr.
Charles Seely, " the citizen candidate." All four parties
are acting independently of each other. In consequence
of a paragraph copied from a local print into most of the
public papers, giving the name of Mr. Weston Cracroft
as one of ten candidates talked of, that gentleman has
published a letter stating that he never had any idea of
offering himself as a candidate. Some other names were
also introduced with just as little foundation.

BATH.—Mr. Roebuck and Lord Ashley are on the
ground in hot competition. A rumour, however, pre-
vailed that the learned gentleman was to be appointed to
the judgeship of Bombay, which had somewhat subdued
the zeal of his friends. We, however, find the following
in the Globe of Friday :—" In reference to a paragraph
which appeared in the Morning Chronicle, stating that,
in the event of Mr. D. Pollock retiring from the Chief
Justiceship of Bombay, Mr. Roebuck will succeed him,
we are authorised to state that Mr. Roebuck will not ac-
cept any appointment which will require him to leave the
House of Commons."

SANATORY REFORM MUST PRECEDE MORAL REFORM.
—lndeed, there is little that can be done towards impro-
ving the morals of the people until some of these physical
evils shall be effectually removed. We ask too much of
any one, and particularly of the young, when we charge
them to retain their purity of heart, their regcrd for de-
dencency of manners and propriety of conduct, while com-
pelled to associate in close connection with characters by
whom the common decencies of life are neither observed
nor valued. We ask too much of human nature, and
especially of the unhealthy, the over-worked, and the
feeble in constitution of either mind or body, when we
require them to retain their strict mastery over their tem-
