"NOTICT

The minimum rate of interest on bills discounted at the
Bank of England not having more than 95 days to run is
£5 per cent.
April 8, 1847."

As such a step had been very generally anticipated, the
effect upon the market for public securities was not at
first materially felts At a subsequent period of the day,
however, prices began to decline; and on Friday a very
severe depreciation occurred, consols at the close of the
market hiving been done as low as Bf. The demand for
railway and other securities continues to decline day by
day ; and holders for speculation see little short of ruin
before them, all chance of escape being cut off by
theim-
possibility to realize in the present state of the money
markets. It seems to be generally admitted that a severe
crisis is approaching.
Our market for Cotton continues firm, being influenced
by the accounts brought by the last arrival from the
United States ; and in some cases an advance of d. per
lb. has been obtained. Speculation however is checked
by the pressure for money; and the diminished consump-
tion contributes to forward this very desirable end. There
seems at present little likethood of any great increase in
the present demand. Some fabrics it is true are begin-
ning to be moved off by the manufacturers at prices more
nearly approaching the rates paid for the raw material
than were obtainable a few weeks ago-. But buyers. ope-
rate very sparingly and with great caution. The working
of short time is still adhered to ; and the sufferings of the
operative classes are daily becoming more severe.

THE GOVERNMENT PLAN OF EDUCATION.

On Friday, a meeting of the clergy of this parish, con-
vened by circular, was held at the Blue Coat School, for
the purpose of considering what steps it was advisable that
the clergy as a body should take with reference to the plan
of national education recently propounded by ministers.
The Rev. Rector Brooks took the chair, and amongst
others the following clergymen were present, viz. :—The
Revs. John Connor, Hugh M`Neile, Dr. Booth, W. Ban-
nister, J. B. Phillips, E. Roberts, J. Dover, F. Parry, W.
Pollock, J. Dwyer, R. Davies, John Jones, Cecil Wray,
C. Morrall, T. Nolan, J. B. Monk, J. North, James C.
Prince, T. G. Leigh, &c. As the meeting was purely of
a private nature, although in support of a great public ob-
ject, reporters were not admitted, and the discussion
which took place was merely of a conversational character.
Of course the subject of the government scheme of educa-
tion was fully brought before the meeting. Several of the
clergy deplored the apathetic conduct of the people of Li-
verpool in not sending petitions to parliament, and they
called on the lay members of the Church of England to
come forward in support of the plan of education now
proposed by her Majesty's government. There appeared
to be a unanimous opinion that the government measure
was the best which, under existing circumstances, could
be expected to be passed into a law ; and a sincere hope
was expressed that the lamentable indifference of the peo-
ple with regard to this measure would not in any way have
the effect of inducing the government to relax in their
endeavour to pass the bill. Ultimately a petition embo-
dying the views of the clergy, and similar to that which is
now in course of signature was adopted.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 10.

There has been a moderate consumptive demand for Flour
during the week, at former rates ; other articles slow of sale
without material variation in value.
___ _

At Liverpool yesterday, American Flour was offered, in
partial instances, at a slight reduction, but on the whole the
market maintained a firm aspect.
At Wakefield, a good business was done in Wheat, at an ad-
vance of 2s. per quarter.
The falling off of supply from the eastern districts to that
market is most remarkable, and the same observation is ap-
plicable to this place' as regards Flour. A considerable ad-
vance has taken place during the week at several of the lead-
ing agricultural markets.
At our Exchange to-day, the trade exhibits increasing firm-
ness, without, however, much activity of demand. Many
samples of Wheat and Flour are withdrawn from sale, and au
advance of Is. per sack on Fresh flour is generally required,
but without its being so far established as to warrant a change
in our quotations. All other articles in slow request, at about
former prices.

DOCK COMMITTEE.

On Thursday last, the Chairman, (Mr. Bramley-
Moore) drew attention to the necessity of taking mea-
sures for having the water supplied round the Albert
Dock, on the plan which had been proposed some time
ago. It was agreed that the subject should be brought
before the Committee of 'Works—A report from the
Marine Surveyor was read, which stated that an examina-
tion had been made of the various floating light-ships,
&c., belonging to the trust, and they were, with the ex-
ception of one or two trifling repairs, reported in excel-
lent condition ; the Victoria Channel had also been tried,
and it was found that the least depth of water„ during
one of the lowest tides in March, was ten feet six inches.
Thereport also stated, that 2642 vessels had passed through
the Victoria Channel during the last month. A copy of
the report was directed to be sent to the Pilots' Commit-
tee, and also one to the Finance Committee of the Town
Council.-4 letter was read from the Dock Solicitor as to
the bonds required from master porters at the Albert
Dock, and it appeared that some of them were acting
without such documents, and others had had them
made out, but they were not signed. A conversation
ensued upon the subject, during which it was stated that
those who were acting without having executed the bonds
ought to be suspended, and that the expenses incurred by
such documents ought not to be borne by the Dock Trust,
but by the parties requiring them.—A letter was read from
Mr. R. Rothwell, of Southport, stating that he was going
to employ steam power for the conveyance of passengers,
&c., to Southport along the sands, that such power might
be made useful in cases of vessels in distress by convey-
ing the life-boats or in removing wrecks ; and under those
circumstances he solicited the support of the Dock Trust.
No decision was come to respecting the application, but
it seemed to be the general opinion that it could not be
entertained.—The Chairman said he had a matter of some
importance to bring before them, and one which he did
with great reluctance ; it was a letter from Mr. Hartley,
the surveyor, tendering his resignation. The letter,
which was read to the meeting, stated that indisposition
was the reason which induced Mr. Hartley to adopt that
course, and he wished his duties to terminate on the 24th
of June next. Several members of the Board expressed
their regret at losing his services, and the letter was re-
ferred to the Committee of Works.

FINE FLOWING RINGLETS.—The care of the Hair in
Infants and Young Children is, by inexperienced mothers and
nurses, too little regarded. No mistake can be more injurious
than the supposition that neglect in this particular can continue
with impunity. The seeds of strength or weakness are laid in
the nursery ; and the majority of the fine flowing ringlets, or
bald heads of after Years, are traceable to this early period.
OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, long celebrated for
its genial and invigorating qualities, in promoting and restoring
the growth of the hair is peculiarly fitted (applied according to
the printed directions) for application during the tender years
ofinfancy and childhood ; and no nursery where personal ad-
vantages are held in any estimation, should be without it.
