as to the ultimate success of the stage. Mr. Hartley, the

contirm the proceedings and to affirm the principle of the
purchase, thus enabling the Dock Committee to carry on
the negotiations with Lord Derby, and to bring them to
maturity. He remarked, in conclusion, that t was the
opinion of the Dock Committee that the purchase of the
North Shore should extend as far as the Rimrose Hotel.
Mr. -Nicol, seconded the motion.
Mr. EVANS complained that there were no data as to the
expense of the proposed plans submitted to the Council,
and that there was a great deal of unnecessary mystery
evinced by Mr. Moore in carrying on the negociations
with Lord Derby/ without ever consulting the Dock Com-

mittee or even mr. rtartiey. ne kivir. Evans) had never
been opposed to the purchase of the land at the north ;
on the contrary, he had always been in favour of it. He
objected to the plan of paying for the shore in the survey-
or's labour, and he was in favour of making an off-hand,
ready money bargain instead. He reminded the Council
that there were now in hands 78 acres of docks not yet in
use ; and he gave it as his opinion, that if the Brunswick
Dock were devoted exclusively to the timber trade, it was
quite adequate to its present purposes. He observed, by
a circular he held in his hand, that there was rather a de-

dine than increase in the timber trade, and that the whole
of the tonnage from the colonies was only 244,000 tons.
He must be excused from giving credence to any of the
statements about Birkenhead. He hardly knew of even a
rewery yet erected which had not ruined the first
But did the Council believe that Birkenhead was
never to get into hands that would,turn it to account ?

Mr. nun, refused to follow Mr. Evans over to Birken-
head. The real question was, whether the port charges of
Liverpool were lower than they were in other places, and
upon that head he was quite satisfied tl3,,take as authentic

sorry tha Dock Committee were not possessed of the
Herculaneum as well as the Harrington Dock ,• and it
might be some satisfaction to Mr. Evans—who had always
taken a fling at the Harrington—to know, that the dock
was now entirely covered with timber, and that it paid a
very ample interest for the money expended upon it. He
then complimented Mr. Moore for the great ability he had

BONDING.—THE PORT OF RUNCORN.—An official no-
tification has appeared, that the privilege of bonding goods,
in general, has been extended to the port of Runcorn,
which already possesses docks and ample wharf room.
Warehouse accommodation has also been prepared for
the reception of bonded goods, and a yard for bonding
timber of all kinds.

ST. Jomv's Sono°Ls, LATHOM.—On Sunday week,
the anniversary sermons were preached in St. John's
Church, by the Hon. and Rev. W. Wingfield, M.A.,
Vicar of Leix, Queen's County, Ireland; after which col-
lections were made for the benefit of the schools which
amounted to £47. 3s. ld. There are four hundred and
thirty children in these schools receiving a sound Scriptu-
ral education, which must be a great blessing to the
neighbourhood.

The crops of corn in this neigh

aourhood are, on the whole, very- promising. Wheat is
excellent, is exceedingly well fed, and in the course of a few
days will be ready for the sickle. Beans promise to be an
abundant crop ; and we may also say the same with regard
to barley and oats, though the latter, in some places, will
be rather deficient. Potatoes are most plentiful;. and if
the blight should happily disappear, the produce will be
astonishing. Mr. John Butler, of this place, commenced
cutting a field of barley on Saturday week, which proves of
exceilent quality.
THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST.—The weather,
during the last fortnight, has been most beneficial in
ripening the crops about our neighbourhood. The genial
sunshine, which had tinged the growing wheat with ver-

dant ripeness, has been succeeded by growing showers,
which fell fast on Wednesday afternoon, and on Thursday
also intermittent rain moistened the parched corn fields,
so that prolific crops are confidently expected. The stalk
of wheat and oats was scarcely ever known so high, many
specimens we have seen reaching six or seven feet in
height, whilst the ears are of more than the ordinary size,
from three to four hundred grains having been counted in
some of the ears, which have been plucked az. specimens
of astonishing fertility. It is to be sincerely hoped that
Providence will realize the ardent prayers of the country,

poor may be satisfied with bread, and famine may be no
longer known, spreading desolation and death throughfiut
the land.—Preston Pilot.
EXTRAORDINARY FREAK. A JUVENILE DELIN-
QUENT.—Never, perhaps, since the new act " for the
more speedy trial and punishment of juvenile offenders
passed, has its I

.sefulness been more fully evidenced than
There was, also, a canal in the neighbourhood ; and any in a case which was heard in Salford, on Wednesday,
timber going up the river southwards could be towed up before Mr. Trafford and the Mayor. A boy, twelve years
at the young flood, thus preventing every kind of annoy- of age, named Nehemiah Jones, was charged with having
ance. in this way—by a reduction of charges and greatly robbed his own father of a box, containing two £lO notes,
increased accommodation—the timber trade would be 35 pounds in gold, two silver watches, and a number of

and more into use for shipbuilding, and Liverpool was the committed on the previous afternoon, when the young

Amongst other purchases he had bought a donkey

which he paid 265., and astride this animal he had been
riding up and down until both he and the donkey were
fairly tired out. Whilst thus enjoying himself, the young
urchin carried his box of treasure in front of him, and

when it began to grow dark he dismounted and turned
the donkey into a field. Looking at the whole circum-
stances, the bench very wisely came to the conclusion
that it was a case in which it would be exceedingly impo-
litic to send the young rascal to be contaminated in a
prison, and he was accordingly ordered to be well whipped
and discharged. T

THE MoonE itENTAL.—Under this title, the twelfth
volume of the historical and literary remains connected
with the palatine counties of Lancaster and Chester,
printed by the Chetham Society, which has just made its

roll raisonlie; drawn up by Edward Moore, of Bank-hall,
near Liverpool, and of Old or Moore-hall, in that town,
It bears the date of 1667-8 ; and even if the fact were not
known from other sources, it would show him to have
been a considerable magnate in those days. The rental'
is preceded by a variety of scriptural texts, enfilrcing for-
giveness of injuries ; but the body of it imposes on his

son John, for whom it was written, the perpetuation of
malice and hatred.- His tenants and lessees appear to
have been eminently guilty of the peculiar sin of which
defeated candidates at parliamentary and municipal elec-
tions complain to this day ; and in consequence he be-
camp n onnri hntpr ncino fn +heir.

before he came of age the greatest use made of
the rental was to enlighten a curious posterity as to the
state of social feeling existing after the close of the civil
wars. Many details of Liverpool history are given, Par-
ticularly concerning the families of Stanley, Molyneux,
Norris, Williamson, and others ; and the introduction
from the pen of the editor, Mr. Thomas Heywood, F.5.A.7
