WALLASEY COMMISSIONERS.—The usual meeting,
called for Thursday evening, lapsed for want of a quorum.
The last meeting of the present board will be held on the
17th instant.

SEACOMBE SCHOOL.—The examination of Dr. Pogei's
school, at Seacombe, will take place on the 16th and 17th
instant, and will be conducted by George P. Clarke, A.M.,
of St. John's College, Cambridge.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.--Traffic for the
week ended May 29, 1853:—Railway: Passengers, parcels,
&c., £2,529 13s. 10d. ; goods, £1,122 13s. 3d. Steam-
boats: £359 55.4 d. Total, £4,011 12s. sd. Increase as corn-
pared with the corresponding week last year, £704 6s. 7d.
EGREMONT.—The annual meeting of the Wallasey
Branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held
on Monday, at the Egremont Hotel. The chair was oc-
cupied by Thomas Bouch, Esq., and interesting details
were given as to the operations of the society, more par-
ticularly with reference to this, its year of jubilee, by the
Revs. Dr. M'Neile, Knox, Carter, &c.
NEW BRIGHTON.—On Monday, as Mrs. Donnelly,
the widow of the late Mr. John Donnelly, architect, of
Birkenhead, was walking with her daughter, she fell
down near the New Brighton Inn, Magazines. Some
ladies who were passing immediately helped her daughter
to carry her into the inn, where every needful attention
was paid ; but she was insensible, and in a few hours
breathed her last. A subscription has been commenced
for the benefit of the family, who are left destitute.
THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—On Friday, a contract
was entered into between the Birkenhead Dock Ware-
house Company and Messrs. Peto, Brassey, Betts, and
Jackson, the contractors for the Grand Trunk of Canada
Railway, for the leasing by the later, for 14 years, of
22,076 yards of land on the margin of the Great Float,
Birkenhead. This land is required by the contractors for
the construction of tubular bridges, machinery, locomo-
tives, and carriages for the line above-mentioned, and
others in which they are concerned. 'We are informed
that from 500 to 1,000 mechanics will find'employ on
these works, besides labourers. Mr. Meakin, the agent
of Messrs. Brassey and Co., will commence operations on
the land forthwith.

EMIGRATION FROM SOUTH WALES.—A very large
exodus still continues from various districts in the south
of Wales. The Mormonite emigration is, if anything,
increasing, as large bodies of these deluded people, prin-
cipally from Carrnarthenshire and the county of Glamor-
gan, still continue to leave their native land for the banks
of the Salt Lake. These followers of Joe Smith get to
Liverpool, where they embark in the liners for New York.
As many as 100 persons have left Swansea in one body
for Liverpool. A large number of colliers, principally
from Aberdare and neighbourhood, have left Wales for
Australia, taking with them their wives and families, and
their example will also be followed by many others.
Labour is now scarce in most parts of Wales.

PEWS IN PARISH CHURCHES.—In the case of Lloyd
and Wife v. Brittain, which was a short time ago before
the Birkenhead County Court, the judge has given his
decision. The action was brought to recover two years'
rent of one of two pews in the body of the parish church
of Bebington, claimed by the plaintiffs as appurtenant to
a farm-house in the parish to which the female plaintiff
had succeeded some years ago on the death of a cousin.
His Honour, after citing various legal authorities to show
that pews in parish churches could not be dealt with as
with a house or field, said that trafficking in pews in
parish churches was wholly illegal, and Mr. Brittain's
express promise, though it ought to be, and he hoped
would be, binding upon his conscience, was not binding
at law, and the verdict must be entered for the defendant.
BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB.—The first race
for the season in connection with this club took place on
Saturday week, in the upper section of the Great Float.
Fifteen models were entered for the race, and as this was
a larger number than could conveniently start together,
the race was divided into three heats, five boats sailing in
each heat, and the successful boat in the three heats
sailing for the plate, which was a handsome silver salver,
presented by a member of the club. For the deciding
heat, the Anglia, the Electric, and the Nereid, the suc-
cessful boats in the first three heats, started. The
models had sailed about half way across the pool, the
Anglia and the Electric being considerably ahead, and
the Anglia evidently winning the race, when the leading
boats ran into each other, thus destroying the chance of
both models, and leaving the Nereid to win the plate in
her own way. The plate was subsequently presented to
the owner of the Nereid, who replied in suitable terms.
ABBOT'S GRANGE.—The Senior Wrangler of the pre-
sent year, it will be seen by reference to our advertising
columns, will be entertained at Abbot's Grange, on the
16th inst. We feel justified in calling special attention to
the announcement of the public proceedings on that
occasion, when Dr. Brindley will have the proud gratifi-
cation of entertaining three gentlemen, former pupils of
the school, who have respectively taken the highest
honours the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and
the Metropolitan Medical Schools have it in their power
to confer. This is the first instance of a private school
turning out a Senior Wrangler, while the success of Mr.
Moreton, we are informed, is altogether unprecedented.
In addition to these gentlemen, Mr. Long, of Corpus
Christi College, Cambridge, has just been awarded
another scholarship and an additional prize for his place
at the examination just ended. These facts prove beyond
dispute that the school is a thoroughly good one, and in
recording them we offer no empty praise, but merely
leave them to speak for themselves.—Chester Chronicle.
Of these three gentlemen, Mr. Sprague's name, as Senior
rangier, is well known, but the career of Mr. Moreton
is less public. We had the pleasure of seeing a letter on
the subject from Dr. Solly, who declares him the most
extraordinary and successful student ever known in the
London School, in which he has taken every first-class
prize.]

HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE

AND CHESHIRE

The eighth and concluding meeting for the session was
held in the Collegiate Institution, on Thursday evening
last, the Rev. Dr. Thom, vice-president, in the chair. The
Lord Bishop of Chester was elected a member by accla-
mation, and four other gentlemen, whose names had been
announced in the circular, were also ejected. These were
Messrs. William Collinewood and James T. Foard, of
Liverpool, and Messrs. William Sharp and George Whit.
ley, who are non-resident.

The donations embraced a volume from the Cambridge
Antiquarian Society, illustrative of Ancient Cambridge-
shire; the large Lithographic Illustrations of the Frescoes
on the walls of Gawsworth Church, i. e., " The Doom,"
" St. Christopher," and " St. George." presented by
A. Crabtree, Esq. ; various Tracts on the Slave Trade in
Liverpool, by the Rev. P. S. Dale and Mr. Stonehouse ;
A Guide to the Mersey and its Ferries, by the author,
Mr. Gawthrop ; and A Representation of the Chairs of
Dr. Enfield and Dr. Aikin, by the possessor, Dr. Ken-
drick, of Warrington. An error was corrected respecting
a donation by Mr. Mortimer last session : it consisted of
Adams's Chester Courant for 1747-48-49.

Mr. T. LANGTON BIRLEY exhibited a gold coin of the
Emperor Vespasian, found in a field near Kirkham ; and
Mr. R. J. BUCKLEY twenty-four interesting antiquities
from the neighbourhood of Mexico, consisting of terra
cotta human heads, javelin beads, an arrow head of flint,
and a sacrificial knife of the same material, with beads in
various states of progressive manufacture.

Mr. LAMBERT produced a curious treatise, published
towards the close of Queen Elizabeth's reign, relative to the
succession to the crown ; and Mr. Robinson exhibited
five curious rubbings of church brasses, obtained chiefly
on his excursions in Derbyshire and Yorkshire. Mr.
Mayer exhibited a curious representation of the General
Judgment, in Limoges enamel; also an illustration of the
Judgment in the Journal of the Archaeological Association,
taken from the walls of S. John's, Winchester. Dr.
Hume drew attention to curious woodcuts in a copy of the
vulgate_Bible, in his possession.

The letter '
of Professor Phillips was read, announcing
the favourable reception of the application respecting the
meeting of the British Association for the Advancement
of Science ; and there is a strong probability that the
meeting will be held in this town in 1854.
Dr. HUME announced that 41 new members had been
added to the society during the session, 37 by election
and four ex-mayors by enrolment, with their consent.
Sixteen papers, most of them of great interest and import-
ance, would have been read at the close of the session,
and a similar number was promised already for next
session. _

Mr. MAYER drew attention to the discovery of a
Roman stone coffin, which he had seen last week at the
Minories, London. It contains the body of a female,
whose portrait is engraved on the lid, and the whole is
clasped with iron. He had also visited Pevensey Castle,
at which antiquarian researches are going forward.
The first paper for the evening was a long one, consist-
ing of an Essay, by John Robson, Esq., of Warrington,
entitled, " Materials for the History of the two Counties,
and the mode of using them." The second was a short
one by Dr. HUME, explanatory of the judgment scene, on
the Limoges enamel, and showing its identity of design
with that of similar pieces.
Thanks were voted to the donors, exhibitors, and
authors of papers, and the meeting closed at an unusually
late hour.

HORTICULTURE.

Stove Conservatory, kc.—Rapid growth is now the
order of the day in the plant-houses, and, consequently,
the nice art of the experienced gardener is required to
overcome undue luxuriance and keep plants within bounds.
Nothing shows masterly management so much as a store
or greenhouse with a well-selected stock of handsomely
formed and healthy-looking plants. Size is no criterion
of good growth ; compact, well formed, strong plants
alone indicate correct management. Therefore at this
season, when vegetation is in full career, the proper use
of the knife end fingers, in stopping random shoots and
importance.
Tender irregular buds, is of the utmost
Tender annuals grown in pots should also receive atten-
tion, as they are very useful, if well grown, to decorate
the greenhouse late in the season; for this purpose the
flower-buds should be pinched off as soon as formed, by
which means fine large shrubby plants may be obtained,
when they may be allowed to flower, and will form highly
ornamental additions to the autumn flowering plants.
Shift balsams and other similar plants from time to time
as they require, especially if large plants are required.
Flower Garden.—All the bedding plants being now
planted out, it is very advisable to give them a regular
supply of water, with occasionally a little very weak ma-
~en-'ni

)37 this means strong, free.grouing plants will be
insured, and the risk of losing them will be removed.

.—The Emperor steamer, from
.„,„urgn, has arrived at Hull with intelligence of
the loss of the Neptune steamer, in the Baltic. The pas-
sengers by the Neptune were landed, as well as £40,000
in gold which she had on freight from St. Petersburgh,
was filling fast and would become a total loss.
‘aon to the Emperor, the Lion steamer, from St.
Petersburgh, has also arrived at Hull, and the two vessels
have on board a total of £120,000 in gold, irrespective of
the 40,000 ehiPPed in the Isteptune.

TUESDAY MORNING, 2 o'CLocx.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY, JUNE 6

The Marquis of CLANRIC ARDE gave notice, that on
Friday he should direct attention to the Turkish question.

The Evidence Amendment Bill was read a third time

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved for certain papers
connected with the Burmese War, and, in doing so, con-
demned the policy, conduct, and expenses of the war.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE replied that all the informa-
tion in possession of the Government was already on the
table. _ _

After some observations from the Earl of ALBEMARLE
and Lord BEAUCHAMP, the subject dropped.
The house adjourned at ten minutes past six.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY, JUNE 6

The House met at a quarter to four.
Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER took the oaths and his seat
for Plymouth.
Mr. WALPOLE reported from Bury St. Edmunds Elec-
tion Committee that Mr. Oakes had been duly elected.
The report of the Sligo Election Committee was brought
up by Mr. DIVETT. It declared that Mr. Townley had
not been duly elected ; that the last election was void ;
and that the Roman Catholic priesthood had exercised
undue influence over the voters.

Mr. G. H. Moors, in calling attention to a discrepancy
in the report of Lord Aberdeen's correspondence with
Mr. Monsell, on Lord John Russell's observations with
regard to Mr. Moore's motion on the Irish Protestant
establishment, wished to know whether Lord J. Russell's
opinion was shared in by all the members of the govern-
ment, and, if not, he should like to have the names of
those by whom they were repudiated.
Lord J. RUSSELL replied that he was unable to state
which of the members of the cabinet shared his opinions
with reference to the other question. Lord Melbourne
had very sensibly said that it was sufficient for the mem-
bers of the Government to agree upon a certain course,
and not at all necessary to agree about their reasons for
so doing. (Laughter.)
On the motion for the third reading of the Income
Tax Bill,

Mr. HUME declined to offer any opposition, seeing that
the Government were determined to carry it out, and
considering that the other portions of the Finance scheme
were a counterbalance.
Mr. GROGAN, Mr. KENNEDY, and Colonel DUNNE
objected to the measure as a monstrous injustice to Ire-
land.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER briefly replied,
and after some further conversation the House divided
—For the third reading, 189; against, 55 : majority, 134.
On the motion that the bill do pass,
Sir F. KELLY moved an additional clause, fixing the
amount to be paid for incomes under £2OO and £3OO a
year at 31d. and s?d.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the
motion.

After some conversation, the house divided—For the
clause, 31; against it, 144 ; majority, 113.
Sir F. KELLY moved another clause to deduct 5 per
cent. from incomes under £lOO a-year, for each child
under 21 and born in wedlock.

The amendment was negatived without a division.
Sir A. CAMPBELL moved a clause to allow on lands in
Scotland a deduction for rates and taxes.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the
motion.

After some discussion, in which Mr. CUMMING BRUCE,
Mr. DUNLOP, and other Scotch members, took part, the
house divided. For the clause, 54 ; against it, 98 : ma-
jority, 44.
Several new clauses, principally relating to Ireland,
were added, on the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER. The bill was then passed.
The debate on Sir Charles Wood's motion to bring in a
bill for the future government of India was resumed by
Mr. J. PHILLIMORE, who, in a speech of considerable
length, entered minutely into the whole question of the
previous government of India, under the East India Com-
pany, and reviewed the subject in all its branches, espe-
cially with regard to the administration of law, tenure of
land, and other questions connected with the social con-
dition of the natives of India. He passed a sweeping
condemnation on the East India Company, and strongly
denounced Sir C. Wood's proposition as not grappling
with many of the great and infamous abuses, and as per-
petuating a system which had tolerated and cherished
such anomalies.
Sir J. W. HOGG, Chairman of the East India Com-
pany, commenced by referring to some of Mr. Bright's
observations on Friday, and by defending the company
against the censures then cast upon them with regard to
the present measure. He contended that immediate legis-
lation was necessary for the sake of the contentment and
prosperity of the people of India. He supported the
Government proposal, because he was in favour of the
principle of double government; and entered into a
most elaborate statement to show that India preferred
remaining under the existing form of government.
On the motion of Mr. BLACKETT, the debate was
adjourned till Thursday.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in a
resolution, which was agreed to, affirming the expediency
of the amendment of the law relative to Savings' Banks.
The Bankruptcy (Scotland) Bill passed through com-
mittee.
The House adjourned at five minutes to one.

RICHARD CCEUR DR LION.—On Saturday, a public
meeting was held at Willis's-rooms, St. James's, for the
purpose of promoting the execution, in bronze, of Baron
Marochetti's colossal statue of Richard Coeur de Lion,
and its erection in some conspicuous site in the metropo-
lis, as a memorial of the Great Exhibition of 1851. The
room was crowded with gentlemen interested in the pro-
motion of art, or its distinguished patrons.

ECCLESIASTICAL.

DIOCESE OF CHESTER.

PREFERMENTS.—The Rev. David James Paterson, to
the Perpetual Curacy of Chelford, in the parish of Prest-
bury, in the county of Chester, void by the resignation of
the Rev. Granville John Granville. Patron—John Dixon,
Esq., of Astle, in the same county. Value £135.
The Rev. Moses Margoliouth, to the Stipendiary Curacy
of Wybunbury, in the county of Chester, on the nomina-
tion of the Rev. James Hayes, the vicar.
The Bishop has licensed a building in the township of
Higher Kinnerton, in the parish of Dodleston, in the
county of Chester, recently purchased and titled-up for
the purpose by the Very Rev. Frederick Anson, Dean of
Chester, the rector, for the performance of Divine Service.
Being distant 21 miles from the church, although more
than 2 miles from the extremity of the parish, this place
of worship will afford very great accommodation to those
persons in its vicinity who are at present much inconve-
nienced by their distance from the church.

MARKETS.
MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The tone of this market has suffered a
change for the worse in the present week. The caution of
buyers has been excited by the apparent danger to the peace of
Europe which lies in the ruptured relations between Austria
and Switzerland, and still more between Russia and Turkey ;
while all operations for China are stopped by the seeming
triumph of rebellion in that country; and the hands of the
India merchants are restrained by advices of some decline in
the value of our fabrics at Bombay and Calcutta. The business
effected has therefore been altogether inconsiderable, both in
Yarns and Goods ; but, as spinners and manufacturers are well
supplied with orders, and as they are beginning to have
demands made upon them for higher wages and restricted
hours of labour, they appear indifferent about selling, and the
quotations consequently remain unchanged. On Thursday, a
general notice for an advance of ten per cent. in the rate of
wages was given to their employers by the operatives at Stock-
port, both in the departments of spinning and weaving. Yes-
terday (Monday), a.meeting of the Employers' Association was
to be held, when this notice would be taken into consideration.
ROCHDALE.—The same inactivity continues in the Flannel
market, and the manufacturersare more engaged in fulfilling
their old contracts, than in entering into new ones. In Wool
there has been very little doing, but the dealers hold out for
the old prices.
LEEDS.—Prices remain firm, consequent on the firm tone of
the Wool market. Business has been dull in the warehouses in
the home trade; and, except in heavy goods.tlie foreign houses
are doing less business iii goods of a general description than
for some time. The mills, however, continue in full operation.

tinent of America, are still in good request, and it is probable
the orders for the class of goods required for that market will
be prolonged through the summer.
LEICESTER.---There is but little change in trade since our
last report. Prices of material remain the same. The bands
continue fully employed, as although some of the manufacturers
are stopping the frames, others require the services of the men
thus set at liberty.

--- in Butter as to demand, but prices since

last week receded From 83 to 10s per cwt. Tins rapid and ex-
tensive tall will, to a certain extent, be checked, as most of the
grocers here bold no stocks ; and this great and sudden decline
will prevent Irish shippers from operating. Waterford and

fourths 765, fifths 708 to 71s; Sligo, 74s to 808; Canadian, 66s to
70s ; Belfast, SOs to 82s ; Belfast crocks, 82s to 86s. Bacon in
good demand, and fully Is dearer, 588 to 60s being demanded,
and stocks almost exhausted. Lard steady, Irish kegs 625,

diately upon arrival at 58s to 62s per 112 lbs.
