The report was approved, and the rate of Bd. adopted.—
It was decided that the rates should commence on the Ist
day of April, 1853, and be collected and paid by one yearly
payment. The collectors having been appointed, the
Council authorised the laying of the lighting rate and the
fire-police rate (the latter not less than 4d. in the pound),
by assessors, Messrs. John Whitby and James Denton.—
The proceedings of the Finance Committee comprised a
recommendation to grant al increase to the salary of Mr.
Shuttleworth, town-clerk, of £5OO per annum. It also
contained a recommendation that, in consequence of the
resignation by Mr. M. D. Lowndes of the appointment of
clerk to the justices for the parochial business, the addi-
tional duties be performed by the present clerks to the
justices, and that they respectively be paid the additieoal
salary of £lOO per annum, and that one of the clerks
lately employed by Mr. Lowndes be engaged permanently
in the magistrates' clerk's office, at the salary of £lOO per
annum ; the whole arrangement effecting a saving of £lOO
per annum to the borough fund.—A report by Mr. Fell

which he pronounced discreditable.—The Council then

THE POET OF THE PRESENT.

A Poet must ere long arise,
And with a regal song sun-crown this age,
As a saint's head is with a halo crown'a;—
One, who shall hallow Poetry to God
And to its own high use; for Poetry
The grandest chariot whereon king-thoughts ride;—
One, who shall fervent grasp the sword of song
As a stern swordsman grasps his keenest blade,
To find the quickest passage to the heart.
A mighty Poet whom this age shall choose
To be its spokesman to all coming times.
In the ripe full-blown season of his soul.
He shall go forward in his spirit's strength,
And grapple with the questions of all time,
And wring from them their meanings. As King Saul
Called up the buried prophet from his grave
To speak his doom, so shall this Poet-king
Call up the dead Past from its awful grave
To tell him of our Future. As the air
Doth sphere the worlds, so shall his heart of love—
Loving mankind, not peoples. As the lake
Reflects the flower, tree, rock, and bending heaven,
Shall he reflect our great humanity;
And as the young Spring breathes with living breath
On a dead branch, till it sprouts fragrantly
Green leaves and sunny flowers, shall he breathe life
Through every theme lie touch, making all Beauty
And Poetry for ever, like the stars.

spinners and speculators may soon push up prices to a
point dangerous for all connected with the trade, and in-
stead of abundance we shall perhaps he reduced to a state
of artificial scarcity.—We think the importance of the
reduction of 64,000 bales in our stock will be more appre-
ciated after due reflection.
It appears now the consumption is steadily on the in-
crease, and is at present at least-40000 bales per week.
Take the American consumption at 13600 It
„ remainder of Europe - 23154 9t

It shows a total of - - 76750 „ weekly.
or 3,991,106 „ for the year
Estimate the crop of America at - 3,300,000 bales.
21 East Indies in '52 - 222,000 - 350,000 „
Brazils as in '52 - - - 164,000 „
Egypt - - - - 180,000 „

3,994,000 bales
it gives only about 3000 bales more than the estimated
consumption.
With an American crop estimated as above at 3,300,000
bales, there would be barely sufficient for the actual con-
sumption, without adding to the stocks, which at the end
of the last season were comparatively small, viz., 914,000
in all Darts of Europe, or scarcely sufficient for seventeen
weeks' consumption last year, or twelve weeks in the
present year. These facts should give consumers cause
to look forward with anxiety to the next crop, and if they
did so, then they would not blindly persuade themselves
that the present temporary accumulation of stocks will
be sufficient to counteract any future rise in prices. The
market closes steadily ; sales 7 to 8,000 bales at full
prices.

NATIONkt EDUCATION.

THE promised measure of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to
provide more extensively for the education of the
rising generation, 'has -made but little progress since
its first announcement, owing to the lengthened
discussions on the 'CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER'S Budget, and the episodes to*.rhich it has
given rise. Sufficient, however, has transpired to
show that the whole plan is comprised in an exten-
sion of the aid granted to schools conducted under
the existing regulations of the Committee of Privy
Council. From the discussion which "has taken
place on the subject out of Parliament, it would
appear that this =will merely involve 'additional
expense, without in any way meeting the difficulty
against which it is proposed to provide. Schools
have been already established to a very great extent,
,efficient instructors are being trained under the
grant already voted by Parliament, and the want
more often apparent is • scholars rather than the
means for their instruction. So long as parents,
from ignorance, or cupidity, or carelessness, see no
necessity nor advantage in their children 'being
educated, their hapless offspring will grow ,up in
ignorance and its attendant crime, notwithstanding
the many schools that maybe open to receive them,
and the earnestness of the <invitations to them-to
enter.

Even the required penny a week will, in too
many ,cases, prove an insuperable obstacle; where
that would be overcome, the ,necessary neatness
and cloanliness will be withheld, and there are the

further hindrances of many being occupied in labour
and often begging, and the unwillingness of parents
to restrain the natural inclination of children to
play and idleness. All these aids to ignorance will
not be .overcome by building schools and making
grants of money to maintain them. What is really
required, whether practicable or not,-is the compul-
sory instruction of all who need it, and ,Lord JOHN
RUSSELL will never accomplish the .object which
he professes to have in view unless he can devise
some means by which every child shall be compelled
to receive, the education provided by the State,
unless its parents provide for it by some other
means. This was partially attempted during the
administration of Sir ROBERT PEEL, by the bill
which proposed to forbid the employment in fac-
tories of any child who had not a certificate ,of
having attended a certain time at school ; but the
Dissenters took the alarm, and commenced such a
vigorous agitation against the bill that the Ministry
gave it up ; but something of a similar nature,
though more comprehensive, will have to be done
before a step will be made in saving the country
from the fatal consequences of its poorer popula-
tion growing up in ignorance and infidelity.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 4

Mr. DUNLOP presented a petition from the incumbent
and inhabitants of St. Bartholomew's district, Liverpool,
against opening the Crystal Palace on the Lord's Day.
PROBATE OF WILLS.—On the order of the day, moved
by Mr. HADFIELD, for the second reading of the Probate
of Wills and Grants of Administration Bill, a short dis-
cussion arose as to the expediency of proceeding with the
bill, the SOLICITOR-GENERAL having announced that a
bill was in preparation, embracing the whole testamentary
jurisdiction, which would be introduced by the govern-
ment after the commissioners had made their report. The
bill was read a second time pro forma.
PAYMENT OF WAGES.—Sir H. HALFORD, in moving
the second reading of the Payment of Wages Bill, ex-
plained its object, which was, he said, to bring within
the scope of the existing law certain practices contrary to
its spirit, and which, by an unfortunate construction of
its letter, had been exempted from its operation. He
detailed the distresses of the stocking-weavers, the abuses
and evils connected with middlemen, and the hiring of
knitting-frames, which it was proposed to subject to a fair
competition in open market.—ln the course of the dis-
cussion Mr. CARDWELL said, if he believed that the
grievances of the framework knitters would be met by
this bill, he should recommend the house to adopt it ;
but he was convinced that its effect would be directly
opposite. and recoil upon the very class it was intended
to relieve. On a division the bill was thrown out by 188
to 127.

COMBINATION OF WORKMEN.—The third reading of
the Combination of Workmen Bill was opposed by the
SOLICITOR-GENERAL, but six o'clock arrived before a
decision was come to.

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 17, 1853.

INSPECTION OF NUNNERIES.-DEFEAT
OF THE GOVERNMENT.

ONE of the most satisfactory evidences of a return
to a better feeling in the House of Commons was
•exhibited on Tuesday, when the motion of Mr. T.
CHAmlsEas for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate
the recovery of personal liberty in certain cases,
was carried by a majority of 140 to 117, notwith-
standing the opposition of Lord JOHN RUSSELL
and his Romanist allies and the adverse votes of
the members of the Government. The Bill is spe-
cially directed against Nunneries and other Monas-
tic Institutions in this country, which are noto-
riously on the increase; and the remedy proposed
is that the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment shall have the power of appointing one or
more persons (where there are reasonable grounds
to infer the exercise of coercion and restraint
towards any female anywhere), to go, in company
with a justice of the peace, to the house, see the
party, ascertain the facts, and, if necessary, put
the ordinary law in force by writ of Habeas Corpus.
It might have been thought that in a country like
England, where a jealous regard for the liberty of the
subject is a popular passion, forming the burden of
our national songs, and constituting, as it were, a
national sentiment almost peculiar to Great Britain,
such a motion, which proposed to remedy an
evident deficiency of the law to provide against a
flagrant and growing abuse, would have met with
no opposition but from rabid Romanists. If
nunneries were not the prisons, or something worse,
to which ardent Protestant writers have compared
them, there would have been nothing to dread
from the inspection which could only originate
from reasonable grounds of suspicion, and we
might have accepted the version of Lord E.
HOWARD, that the iron bars and other accessories
of the dungeon, with which these places are secured,
were designed rather to keep intruders out than to
confine the inmates. The Bill, however, met with
other opposition from professing Liberals, and from
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1853-05-17

TO Mit. JOHN reIACDONALD.

" Sir,—Aa•not one of your supposed priests, either in
Liverpool or-elsewhere, has yat -ventured to stand up crva
platform and•atterapt to prows -that he is a priest on his
own principles ; or, in fact, that the supposed Church .of
Rome has any.pope, priest, sacrament, or rule of faith,
although a thousand pounds has been offered to any priest
who can do so, you can scarcely expect me, nor do you,
expect me, ::am sure, to enter the lists with a layman..
" There may be corrupions'' (as you say) in the
practical working of the Established Church ; but, surely,
you are scarcely in a position to attack them, while you
remain a member of that churcit.which the Spirit of .hod
has declared'to be ' drunken with the blood of the saints,
the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.'

" If yon really wish, however,- for a discussion, your
own priests are the persons to .ply. Hosts of clergymen
are ready at a moment's notice. One solitary priest that
dare stand up on a platform is -all that is wanted. Do
try and find one. And when .you have found him, if-you
can prove that he is a priest an the principles of your own

PROVISION MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 13.—For Beef there is a Lair retail
demand, without much variation in prices. The stock is large,
and holders of middling and low qualities meet buyers freely.
In Pork we cannot note any alteration; there is a moderate
demand from the dealers, with an occasional export order, and
stock does not accumulate. Bacon continues in pretty active
request, at steady prices ; and a considerable portion of the late
arrivals has been already cleared off. The sales of Lard for the
week reach to about GO tons, without change in prices. There
is less doing in Cheese. Several parcels have been put into
bond to await the proposed reduction of duty.

• -
MAY I6.—The demand for Butter, of all kinds, was so general
and good last week, that prices of the most esteemed brands
have advanced from 2s to 4s since our last report, and the
supply still being moderate, the dealers had some difficulty in
securing a sufficient quantity to meet their actual wants.
Waterford may be quoted at 106 s to 108 s ; Carrick and Clonal el,
102 s to 10Gs ; Limerick, 94s to 985 ; Cork thirds 100 s, fourths
945, and fifths 83s per cwt., landed. The weather is now
warmer, and most likely we have seen the highest point for
the present. Imported from Ireland from the 9th May to the
14th May, both inclusive :-6,395 firkins, 62 kegs, 368 crocks,
355 boxes, "98 barrels Butter; 79 bales Bacon; 1 hogshead 1
tierce Hams ; and 30 kegs Lard.
