SHOCKING OUTRAGE. —A ruffian, named :Michael
Corbel, has been committed to .Kilkenny gaol to take his
trial at the next assizes, for setting fire to his house, with
the design of burning his wife and mother-in-law. The
fire was observed before it had made much progress, and
his intended victims were saved. Jealousy is supposed to
have caused him to commit this shocking outrage.
The judges of the Queen's Bench, Dublin, have deci-
ded against the points reserved by the judge of assize in
the case of P. Rice and P. 'Hayes, convicted at Nenagh of
a conspiracy to murder the late Patrick Clarke, &c. The
sentence of death passed upon the prisoners was respited
to the 19th instant, on which day it will be carried into
execution. Patrick Fogatty, who was also convicted at
Nenagh, and for whom points were raised, is also ordered
for execution, putsuant to sentence, for firing at Mr.
Nl'Donald.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The weekly meeting of this
body was held on Monday. The building was crowded,
owing to the circmrnstance of Mr. O'Connell being pre-

sent. Henry Grattan, Esq., M. P., presided. The first
remmittance was from Dr. Nl' Hale for £127. The Ro-
man Catholic Bishops of Meath and Derry also sent re-
mittances. Mr. O'Connell then proceeded to eulogise Mr.
O'Brien for the manliness of his conduct, and alluded to
the rumours that were afloat respecting a division in the
Repeal camp. It was said that the association was divided,
and that he was against Smith O'Brien, and Smith O'Brien
against him. It was no such thing. What would their
enemies think that day ? {Cheers.) lie could tell them he
would not consent to continue a member of the association
one hour unless Smith O'Brien was his comrade, his col-
league, and co-equal in the struggle. (Cheers.) If any-
thing would make him despair of Ireland, it would be that
they should do anything to induce Smith O'Brien to quit
the ranks in which he had so bravely fought for Ireland.
What!—leadership! He.would be very touch obliged to
him for becoming leader; he would have his warm and
he,irty support, and he knew that was a sentiment Smith
O'Brien would reciprocate. There was no division in the
Repeal Association—there was no division amongst the
leaders of that Association—there was nothing but good
feeling and fellowship; and above all, the sacred claims of
patriotism bound them heart to heart throughout the land.
(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing a series of resolu-
tions to the effect that a public banquet and entry be given
to Mr. O'Brien, and that Mr. O'Brien be requested to
allow this Association, acting on behalf of the Repealers
of Ireland, to refund to him the fees paid on his discharge
from the custody of the Sergeant-at-arm•. The rent for-
the week was £355. During the proceedings, Mr. O'Con-
nell referred to a speech delivered be a Mr. Archdeacon
on Sunday week in Liverpool, as a Repealer, and proposed
several resolutions calling upon him to know if the report
of what he said was correct; and, if so, to inform him
that he could no longer remain a member of the Repeal
Association. (Cheers.)

Sir THOMAS BRANCKER moved the confirmation of
the proceedings of the Finance Committee, and that the
salary of Mr. Wm. Fox, chief clerk in the Surveyor's
office, be increased from £2OO to £250 per annum, the
consideration of which was postponed at the last monthly
Council, pursuant to the standing orders. He also moved
that the lease of certain premises in Lime-street be granted
to Mr. Gardner. The Finance Committee, he said, had
investigated the particulars connected with the renewal of
the lease, and they bad arrived at the conclusion that no
party would be aggrieved thereby. It had always been
the poliCy of the G u to renew leases except on spec:al
grounds, such as where the premises might be wanted for
some public improvement. His own opinion w,,s decidedly
in favour of renewing Mr. Gardner's lease, and it was that
practice w, ich for years had given the lessees under the
Corporation great faith in their tenure.

Double skirts of tarlatan, appearing to form but two
flounces, are pretty ball dresses; these flounces are some-
times richly worked; they are also pretty edged with
fringe.

Turkish pink is a favourite colour for evening wear.
For coiffureg flowers are much worn ; some as double
wreaths drooping; also foliage of every kind, mixed with

roses, niignionette,

Caps are worn very backward on the head ; the orna-
ments of flowers, velvet or ribbon, are quite confined to
the ears, the lappets arranged to cover the headpiece, and
fall behind on the throat.

Many redingotes of taffetas are embroidered en tablier
either au pass 6 or with stik braid ; some are with tiers of
narrow flounces of the two shades of colour of the dress,
or with several rows of fringe en tablier. Numerous
mantilets have appeared suitable to the season ; the es-
pagnot is of black lace lined with black, rounding off at
the waist, and finishing with lace half a yard deep ; the
mantilet jeune Jeanne is of light showy colours trimmed
with ruches. Pardessus are also made of tarlatane or
white barege over light colours, and are particularly suited
to young people. Leghorn bonnets are always fashiona-
ble in Paris ; they are worn without bavolels—are of a
very open torn], ornamented with a long ostrich ftather.

Some conversation then ensued respecting the con-
struction of a marine parade for the recreation of the
inhabitants of Toxteth-park. Mr. MANN opened the
subject, and explanations havine been given by Sir Tnos.
BRANCK ER, Mr. BRA MLEY INIOORE, and the TOWN -
CL Eli K, the subject dropped.

Mr. PROCTER expressed his surprise that a report had
not as yet been presented, pointing out a new site for the
erection of a gaol, in lieu of that at Wavertree-hall.

A CURIOSITY.—A short time since, we noticed in our
paper a well-authenticated instance of a snail having been
found in an egg. This wonder is, however, completrly
east into the shade by the discovery of a fish of about do
inch and a querter long in a new-laid hen's egg. The
fish was found ,by Miss Pearson, housekeeper to Mr.
James Dakeyhe of Toadhole, and has been seen by many
persons, who all agree in describing it as a perfectly un-
mistakeable fish of some kind, the head being somewhat
large for the proportion of the body, and the rudiments of
eyes, gills, and scales, being distinctly visible. Tne shell
of the egg, previous to its being broken, was much mis-
shapen (?)—Derby Mercury.
FIRST ARRIVAL AT HULL FROM PETERSBORGH.—
The Rob Roy, Lieut. Knocker, R.N., commander, ar-
rived at Hull on Friday, on her return from the first voy-
age to St. Petersburgh this season, being also the first ar-
rival at this port from the Russian capital. The Rob
Roy left Hull, outward bound, on the 4th May, and
has made the passage home in ra'her less than eight days.
She has had full cargoes out and home, also a large num-
ber of passengers. The prospects of trade at Constadt
were considered not bad for the season, although it could
scarcely be said to have opened, for no wool had come
down the river, and indeed none of the interior craft had
arrived, but they were daily expected.
A terrific thunder storm passed over Todmorden,
Ashton, Oldham, and the neighbourhood on Wednesday,
and did considerable damage. The lightning struck
Winter's mill at Todmorden and the chimney fell with a
dreadful crash, part of the roof of the building being
forced in, but happily, although the whole of the hands
were at work, no one was injured in the slightest degree.
The electric fluid entered the lower room of the mill and
set fire to the cotton, straps, and other combustible ma-
terials ; but the workpeople set heartily to work to ex-
tinguish the flames, and by their timely exertions the mill
was saved from the destruction by which it was threat-
ened. The damage done to the building and machinery
is estimated at about £3OO. Much injury was also done
at other places. _ _

Mr. EARLE objected to the renewal of Mr. Gardner's
lease, in Lime-street. He said it would be a most un-
sightly thing to have a livery stable, about which there
was always something slovenly, immediately opposite St.
G orge's-hall, one of the most magnificent buildings he
had ever seen.

Mr. H icciss observed that it was not intended to con-
tinue it as a livery stable.

THE BISHOPRIC OF jERUSALEII.—The Bishop of Ex-
eter has addressed a protest to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury against the consecration of a new bishop of the
English communion at Jerusalem, on the ground of the
proposed dispensation of certain canons, made for the
express purpose of securing uniformity of public worship,
and for the establishment of consent touching true reli-
gion.

After a few snarls from Mr. EARLE, to which Mr.
HIGGINS replied, Mr. RATLIBONE opposed the renewal
of the lease.

Alter which, the Council divided, when there appeared ;
—For the renewal of the lease, 23; against it, 24.
The renewal was accordingly refused ; and the pro.
ceedings of the Finance Committee were confirmed.

DOCK COMMITTEE-AN EXTRAORINARY SCENE.
The proceedings of the Dock Committee comprised the
consideration of clauses introduced into the Dock Bill
now befure parliament.
For the purpose of considering these clauses the Council
resolved it.elf into a committee.
The TOWN-CLERK read two clauses relative to the Duke
of Bridgewater's trusts.

Mr. tH A I.MER said a number of tradesmen felt them-
selves aggrieved by the Dock Committee not offering their
works to public competition. He contended that the
master tradesmen of the town ought to have opportunities
afforded them to enter upon the dock works.
Mr. BRANILEY-M °ORE replied that a great portion of
the works were done by public contract. He then ex-
plained the nature of the clauses read by the Town-clerk.
One of the clauses was to save the rights of the Duke of
Bridgewater's trustees. The other was, that during the
time the alterations are being made in the Manchester
basin, temporary accommodation should be afforded to the
Duke's trustees, until such time as they could go back
again to the Manchester basin.

CHARGE OF MURDER.— On Tuesday last, a man
named Benjamin Gibbins was brought up at the Thames
Police-court, on a charge of murdering Jane Slowman, a
woman with whom he had cohabited. The deceased was
found lying in the lobby of the house, with wounds upon
her head and face. The evidence against the prisoner
consisted almost entirely of marks of blood having been
found on his person. In his defence he pleaded that he
was not at home on Monday night, and not being able to
obtain admission, obtained a ladder on the following
morning, and on entering by an upper window, found the
deceased, who it was evident had been drinking, in the
position described. The fact was brought to light that an
illicit distillation of whiskey had been going on ;in the
house, and the still had on that evening been hastily car-
ried away. The prisoner was remanded.
A MAN KILLED BY A BULL.—An old man met with
a frightful death near Stratford-on-Avon, about noon on
Tuesday last. The deceased was sent by Mr. Atkins, of
Milcot, near Stratford-on-Avon, to fetch home a bull that
had been hired out for the season, and he was returning,
at the time having hold of a chain that was attached to a
ring that passed through the bull's nose. Some persons
passing along the road saw the old man, as they supposed,
overcome with heat, sit down by the bank on the road
side, and immediately after the animal was seen to rush
at him as lie sat, goring and ripping the poor fellow in the
most horrible manner. Several persons ran to the spot,
but the bull kept trampling upon and ripping open the
poor man's body and head, until his features were almost
obliterated. By this time a general alarm was given, and
one man drove a pickaxe into the animal's back, with
which he made off, and others fired at him in every direc-
tion. tine man, a shoemaker, residing near the spot,
battled with him iu a most extraordinary manlier, facing
his fierce and frightful rushes, whilst others kept loading
and firing at him at every point. At length a butcher,
named Waite, seized him by the tail, and courageously
forced him into an adjacent shed, where a barber, named
Thomas Harris, terminated his existence by shooting
him in the head. The scene was of a most frightful
description.—Birmingham Advertiser.
DREADFUL OCCURRENCE ON ULVERSTON SANDS.—
An accident of a must awful nature occurred on Utverston
Sands on 'I hursday night, and that not by the rising of
the tide as has before too frequently happened, but by a
supposed mistake in the road. It appears that on 'I hurs-
day morning a party of young folks set out from Carttnel
and Flookburnugh, to pay a visit to Ulverston fair. The
party consisted of Thomas Moore, in whose cart they
went, Robert Benson, 'I homas Tomlinson, Ellen Inman,
and Jane Inman, from Flookborough ; Guy Crossdale,
William Hanson, and Jane Sefton, from Cartmel; and
John Brooks, from Holker. They spent a pleasant day
at Ulserston, and set out to go home in the ev ning. A
young man named Butler, who also bad a cart, and was
coming home across the sands, followed almost close be-
hind them. It was, Butler says, about five minutes past
ten when they were crossing the channel, and the tide was
running out ;in fact, they were rather soon. Butler ar- Mr. EVANS said he must positively demur, not that he

Mr. EVANS opposed the passing of these clauses, and
said that if passed they would involve a considerable ex-
pense, about £13,000 a-year. He believed that the scheme
relative to the Manchester basin, and various other schemes
of the Dock Committee, were introduced merely for the
purpose of spiteing the people of Birkenhead, who were
supposed to have had some designs upon the Manchester
basin. He moved that that part of the plan which re-
lated to the alterations in the Manchester basin be struck
out.

Mr. STEWART agreed with Mr. Evans that the utility
was not equivalent to the cost of the plan.
Mr. Anctic thought the wisest course now to pursue
was, to withdraw the bill altogether, and not to proceed
any further with a measure b 0 crude and ill-digested.
Mr. JAMES LAWRENCE said it was very dangerous to
pass such a scheme as the present, without the Council
having some previous intimation of it.
Mr. EARLE asked whether there was any probability of
the bill being passed ?* for if there was not, there was no
use in spending the public money in a fruitless contest in
parliament. £13.000 had been already spent, within a
very short time, in paying men with wigs and gowns upon
them to walk about the lobbies of the House of Com-
mons.

Mr. EVANS said he was prepared with some overwhelm-
ing arguments in favour of the withdrasal of the bill.

Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE agreed to postpone the clauses
for the present. Mr. Moore the❑ referred at considerable
length to the clauses which it was proposed to introduce
before the Lords, and referred to certain evidence which
had been given before the committee of the Lords, and
argued that the Dock Trustees were bound to adhere to
the contract entered into with the warehouse-owners, to
which Mr. Evans was a party, with respect to the erection
of warehouses on the dock quays, quoting the fact, that
on Mr. Gladstone being asked before the Parliamentary
Committee whether he considered that contract binding
on the parties in the present day, the answer retur.ied was
" undeniably so." In this portion of his remarks he was
interrupted by Mr. Evans asking, " Do you quote from
the short-hand writer's notes?" in reply to which Mr.
Brantley-Moore appealed to Mr. Mann whether it was
not so, and received that gentleman's confirmation of the
exact words. Mr. Moore then continued to state that
a great deal of abuse had been indulged in towards
the Dock Committee, and that their want of sincerity
and faith had been called in question. Air. Mann, for
instance, had been asked in the Lords Cornmilee if he
was sincere. But was there, asked sir. Aloore, a man upon
the Dock Committee who would say one thing and mean
another ? There were some, he believed, who entertained
the notion that the sincerity of the Dock Committee had
not been diminished but improved within the last six
months. Mr. Evans sated before the Lords that the
acreage and tonnage bad gone hand in hand; that the
acreage had more than kept pace with the tonnage, and
that he anticipated a considerable decline in the tonnage
of the port of Liverpool.

Mr. EVANS then commenced a long harangue, which,
after the exciting scene just ended, produced oo the Coun-
cil all the effects of a soporific. After an allusion to op-
position given to the bill from various parties, Mr. Evans,
in reference to the compact, observed that whatever obli-
gations these men might have in their Corporate or Dock
Committee characters, out of doors, and not acring on
public grounds, he considered they were quite released
from all these circumstances. He looked upon it that it
was competent for every merchant and manufacturer to
take up and protest against such restrictions which were
received, lot which no kind of equivalent was given. In
law, it is a well known axiom, that a transfer of right of
property, without a valuable consideration, was not bind-
ing. What had the warehouse owners given them for
withholding from them the quays, which- were worth £l5
a square yard, and which, if they had been sold, would
have cleared off the duck debts, and relieve I the port of
Liverpool from all port charges. He concluded by
moving, "That the present bill be withdrawn in order
to afford this Council an opportunity of more maturely
con,idering the plans, and agreeing upon such a bill as
shall aprear to meet the exigencies of the port."
Mr. H. HORN BY scouded the resolution.
After a few words from Alr. BIRxETT, in favour of pre-
serving the compact inviolate,

HORSFALL remarked that much of this discussion
on the gener .1 principle of the bill was Put of m-der, as it
had already been affirmed by the Gained. (Hear.) He
was surprised t , hear a lengtbened discussion on the
clauses proposed to be introduced into the bill, because
any such interference, with an express agreement, nfr

pound to carry
out honourably the terms of that compact, and, it they
went for powers to build warehouses on the existing dock
quay,,, the honour of the Council would be compromised.

_ Luc appointment or a com-
mittee to arrange the tt-rms on which they were to go for
the act of the 4th of Victoria ; they were to get rid of the
opposition o' the worehouse owners; and in that commit-
tee a unanimous resolution was passed that a pledge should
be given, that, within a certain time, no application should
he made for powers to erect warehouses on the dock quays.
Mr. Horsfall then proceeded to quo e the clause from the
act, and showed that the compact was then recorded. He
then proceeded :—This was not binding on the merchants
out of doors ; they were at liberty to take any course they
might think proper ; they were not parties to the com-
pact; but he regretted that Mr. Ripley, who was otie of
the parties to that compact, should go up to London to
get insert, d into the bill such clauses as those now sub-
mitted to the Council. (Hear, hear.) He regretted still
more deeply that dlr. Evans, who was a member of the
Dock Committee at that time, and of the Council, and
also a member of the Special Committee, which unani-
mously agreed to the clause he had just read, approving of
the compact—(applause)—should go up to town to oppose
the bill framed with a due regard to that compact, and
which had been sanctioned both by the Dock Committee
and the Council. He c.uld not understand how gentle-
men could act in their public capacity differently to
what they would in private. If they did not deny the
existence of the compact, he could not imagine how they
could get over—how they could reconcile it to their con-
sciences to act in a public concern in a way in which they
would scorn to act in their private capacity. (Applause.)
Mr. MANN expressed regret that Mr. Rend& had been
brought to give evidence in disparagement of the docks of
Liverpool. It was an excellent advertisement for the
Birkenhead Dockr•.

Mr. Alderman MOORE said he had beard a great deal
about the Birkenhead docks and the accommodation
there ' • but 180 of the acres there were in one dock, and
those 180 acres would give no quay space compared with
the quay space in the Liverpool dicks. But however
that was, he was legislating there for the interests of Li-
verpool, and had the interests of Liverpool solely in view.
It was perfectly immaterial to him whether they were
making 180 acres or 180.000 acres in Birkenhead. The
more they. attempted to do there, the greater the stimulus
ought to be for the Dock Committee. He had no private
interest to serve—no private passions to gratify—nothing
to urge him but the interests of the town of Liverpool,
and it was his opinion that in promoting dock extension
in Liverpool he was promoting the interest of the town,
and when the opportunity should arise of having dock
warehouses, he believed they would add to the prosperity
of the town ; but he felt they were not in a position to ask
that at present beyond the fourth of Victoria. In order
to show the interest he took in the dock warehouses, he
might state that he wrote down from London on Friday,
requesting a gentleman to meet him on Saturday morn-
ing, as early as possible, to state the point at issue as to
the introduction of the clauses. lie saw that gentleman.
and talked the question over with him, in order to see if
the warehouse-owners, by meeting again, would or would
not withdraw the restriction altogether. That was de-
clined. He could do nothing else but lay the matter be-
fore them, arid give them an opportunity of witbdrawing
the opposition. It had been quoted to them from some
of his previous statements, that the eighty acres at the
north end would accommodate two millions of tons, but
it was only fair and right that the council should be put
in possession of the average acreage and tonnage of Liver-
pool at stated periods of time. In 1815 they had 52 acres
of docks and basins; the tonnage was 709.849 tons; and
the actual tonnage per acre during that period 13,600
tons. In 1825, there were seventy-one acres of docks
and basins. the tonnage was 1.233,820, and the 'tonnage
per acre 17,200 tons. In 1835. there were ninety-n'l
acres of docks and basins, the tonnage bad increan'
to 1,768,426, and the tonnage per acre had again increased
bad u -
to 17,8'00 tons. In 1845. the docks and basins
n°
creased to 120 acres; the tonnage to 3,016,531. d the
tonnage per acre had al. o increased, for they
must have
been 25.000 tons per acre. What, therefore,
ato
been the state of the docks when they were required
five
times of tonnage? It was five

notwithstanding that enormous increase, unprecedented
in the annals of the docks of any nation, up to last night,

time, had been 152,5C9 tons. He thought he need nog

Mr. Evans was again on his feet, ready to address the
Council once more, but was stopped by the Mayor, who
took the votes for or against the amendment. Eleven

Mr. A IKIN then proposed as a second amendthent, that
that part relating to the Wapping docks and basins, the
widening of Salthouse Dock, and the alteration of the
Manchester Basin, be withdrawn for the present.
Mr. THOMAS LLOYD seconded the resolution.
The votes were then taken upon the second amend'
ment, when there appeared 8 for it and 27 against it. The votes were then taken on the confirmation of tba
