A special meeting of the town council was held yesterday, at
one o clock, at the Town-hall. There was a pretty full. at-
tendance.
The Town-clerk read an application from the Liverpool and
Manchester Fish Company for the use of two shops in the New-
market.—Referred to the improvement committee.
Several petitions were read from different persons. The first
was from a person named Jones, which contained an applica-
tion to the council to be appointed a police-officer in the Mount
Gardens.
Letters of thanks were read from Mr. John Wyberg, Mr.
Alexander Neilson, and Mr. Joseph Franklin, for having re-
ceived situations under the corporation.
The Town-clerk announced that a notice had been handed
to him from Mr. John Barclay, stating that the salary which the
council proposed to give him, as assistant surveyor, for the fu-
ture was too small, and that he should resign the situation.—
Resignation accepted.
A letter of thanks, for the council having concurred in the
appointment of the organist of St. Thomas's Church, signed by
the Rev. J. C. Prince and the two churchwardens of that church,
was put in and read.
A petition from James Jones, No. 82, Gerard-street, praying
for compensation in consequence of losing his sitnation at the
corporation baths, was also received, and referred to the finance
committee.
Samuel Thomas, publican, applied for compensation for in
jury which he had sustained in consequence of his license
having been suspended.
Mr.EGERTON SMITH spoke favourably of the petitioner's
character.
Considerable amusement was created by the reading of a
letter signed "John Jenkins, 28, High Levet-street," in which
the writer stated that himself and the public were considerably
inconvenienced by the projection of window shades in the pub-
lic streets. The petitioner stated that he was five feet eleven
inches high, when dressed in his top-hoots and fashionable low-
crowned hat—that he wore a wig, and when his hat was knock-
ed off he felt great inconvenience from being deprived of his
wilt also. He concluded by recommending that a committee
should be appointed, with Dr. Carson at its head, he being the
tallest man in the council, with a view to have the nuisance
complained of removed.—Ordered to lie on the table.
The Town-clerk was stopped two or three times while reading
this document by several members of the council, who expressed
themselves against its reception, especially as it came from an
anonymous hand. Other members, however, coinciding in the
suggestions of the petitioner, desired the Town-clerk to pro-
ceed, remarking that they were very good and ought to be at-
tended to.
Mr. Wm. Taylor formerly of the firm of " Ewart, Taylor,
and C 0.," now resident in London, applied, by letter, on be-
half of himself and his relatives, for power to erect a tablet in
St. George's Church, in memory of his mother.—Referred to
the finance committee, with instructions to the members of it to
confer with the ministers and churchwardens of St. George's
Church. with a view to comply with Mr. Taylor's request.
The MA von having called upon Mr. Hope, that gentleman
rose. He said that, in pursuance of a notice which he had given
at the last meeting but one of the council, he rose for the pur-
pose of reading a petition to the House of Commons, which he
had no doubt would he adopted, praying the house to strike out
of the municipal reform act an obnoxious clause which required
a declaration to be made by every person on accepting a muni-
cipal office, and which had, in Liverpool, been the meap of ex-
cluding a worthy individual—he meant Mr. George Crosfield—
from having a place in their body, because he could not con-
scientiously subscribe to it. It was well known that Mr. Cros-
field was a member of the society of friends; but there were
other persons of a different persuasion—Jews and Moravians for
instance—who would likewise not make the required declara-
tion, but who, in other respects, were in every way eligible to
serve their fellow-townsmen. He thought it was unnecessary

men, and Council of Liverpool, to the House of Commons. It
set forth that the petitioners, in compliance with the municipal
reform hill, had been required, on acceptance of the offices they
now fill, to make a solemn declaration, which has for its pro-
fessed object the protection of the rights and privileges of the
bishops and clergy of the established church ; and that the pe-
titioners object to the requirements of that declaration for the
following reasons :-Ist. Because it includes an unnecessary
appeal to the Deity, and partaking of the nature of an oath, it
deprives the state of the services of many valuable men. 2dly.
Because its vagueness is such as to render it difficult to judge
of its import, or to determine what acts would incautiously in-
volve its violation. idly. Because it is inconsistent with a wise
and liberal policy to demand, from any individual, a declara-
tion on his accepting office, which implies suspicion and distrust
of the principles which govern him in the discharge of its du-
ties. 4thly. Because it is offensive to those who conscienti-
ously dissent from the established church without giving to it
any equivalent advantage, or conferring upon it any additional
security. Lastly, because it violates that great cardinal princi-
ple on which all enlightened reform is founded, viz.—that
eligibility ought to depend upon character and ability to dis-
charge its duties, and not upon the profession of any particular
religious opinions. The prayer of the petition concluded by
asking the house to adopt measures which may lead to such de-
claration being entirely dispensed with. Mr. Hope in conti-
nuation said, that a bill was at present before parliament,
brought forward, he believed, by one of the members for Leeds,
(Mr. Baines) and prepared by that gentleman, assisted by Dr.
Lushington, which went in a great measure to remove the
system of tests and obnoxious oaths in some recent acts of par-
liament but the bill in question did not reach the clause
which the petition prayed to have done away. He had lately
been in communication with Mr. Baines upon the subject, and
his advice was, that the Liverpool corporation should at once
send up the petition he had read to them, and he could not see
any reason why government should resist their application. In
the year 1828 the sacramental test was removed by the Duke of
Wellington and Sir Robert Peel's administration, which was of
a much more illiberal nature than the declaration complained
of; although he (Mr. Hope) confessed, and as they all knew,
the former test was not given up freely but by compulsion—that
administration being guided by expediency rather than by prin-
ciple, and they conceded to public opinion only when they could
hold out no longer.
Mr. BLACKBURN, in a brief speech, seconded the adoption of

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
IRISH CORPORATIONS BILL.
Mr. O'BRIEN, as soon as Lord John Russell had taken his
seat, asked what course government intended to pursue respect-
ing the alterations made in the Irish corporations bill by the
lords. As an Irishman, he was anxious to move that the amend-
ments be taken into consideration that day six months.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was his intention to move
that the amendments be printed, in order that the house might
have a better opportunity of judging of their nature and im-
port. The situation the house was placed in called for the
exercise of firmness and calmness, and he felt assured that the
house woald not be found wanting in either. (Hear.) With
respect to the amendments to the bill, he confessed he was not
minutely acquainted with them, but it would be affectation not
to say that the bill was totally altered, (hear,) and not only
totally altered but altogether 'different from what it was when
sent from that house. Their bill was for the regulation of the
corporations—this left none to regulate, but, on the contrary,
annihilated them altogether. When he should hereafter have
to propose the consideration of the lords' alterations, he should
be, as he had always been, far from seeking any collission with
the other branch of the legslature. He would make many con-
cessions where a principle was not concerned. If the otherhonse
of parliament urged that the franchise ought to be different
from that named in the original bill—if it had said that the
power ought to be differently arranged—or that the municipal
government was far too extended, and therefore ought to be cir-
cumscribed—he should have been prepared to meet the House
of Lords on all these points, and to consider these changes. He
should not have allowed his own opinions to stand in the way
of fair compromise. But beyond that point he could not go;
he could hardly contemplate any consideration or reflection
that could lead him to he a participator in any measure for al-
together depriving Ireland of municipal governments—(cheers)
—thereby 'fixing a mark or stigma union that country, which it
ought to be their object to unite in heart and affections with
this country. (Hear, hear.) If, indeed, he thought Oat six
out of the eight millions of the people of Ireland were alien to
the people of that country in descent, that they differed from
them in language and religion, and were only anxious to shake
off a government which they considered tyrannical and oppres-
sive, then perhaps he might be induced to consent to deprive
them altogether of free institutions, and look to the sword alone
as the Means of governing them; but entertaining no such
opinion, wishing the people of Ireland to be united with us, and
believing that if they were treated—he would not say with in-
dulgence—he would not say with kindness—he would not say
with generosity, but with that degree of justice with which
Englishmen ought to, and he believed would be prepared to
treat their Irish fellow-subjects; believing that if the acts of the
legislature with respect to Ireland Were framed in the same
spirit which dictated the concession of 1793, and the great con-
cession of Roman catholic emancipation in 1829, and of all the
concessions made since the rigour of the penal code had been
relaxed, the people of both countries would be firmly bound to-
gether in the bonds of amity and brotherhood. He was pre-
pared to adopt a course of conciliation rather than of rigour.
nless the legislature was prepared to retrace its steps and to
change the course of policy which it had recently adopted to-
wards Ireland, he thought that the House of Commons would
not consent to deprive the people of Ireland altogether of the
hope of having municipal government. (Hear, hear.) If the
house should do so, they would not only strike a blow at the
union of Ireland—they would not only act unjustly with refer-
ence to the Irish people, but would inflict a wound upon the
spirit of free government itself. (Hear, hear.) Such a pro-
ceeding would be tantamount to a declaration that the princi-
ples of free government were no longer to be approved of, or
even tolerated, by the House of Commons. Having thus, with-
out entering into any argument with respect to the especial
amendments under consideration, merely stated the view which
he would take of any amendments which went to abolish muni-
cipal government altogether in Ireland, he would conclude with
moving that the lords' amendments to the hill should be printed,
and he would presently fix a day for taking them into consi-
deration. (Cheers.)
Sir G. SINCLAIR. said it was well for the protestants of the
empire, and especially of Ireland, that the measures adopted by
that house were subjected to the revision of another tribunal,
which it was not in the power of his Majesty's ministers to
cajole, to intimidate, or to dissolve. (Hear.) No public
assembly deserved or enjoyed at the present eventful crisis so
pronfinent a place in the confidence, respect, and gratitude of
the religious and enlightened portion of the community as the
House of Lords. (Cheers.) By a great majority of those who
had anything to lose, and who were interested in maintaining
the institutions of the country, the House of Lords was consi-
dered as the main bulwark of otirchurch establishment, and the
chief barrier against democratic encroachments. (Cheers.)
Sir George then read some extracts from a letter of O'Connell's
published that day in the Morning Chronicle, and commented
upon them as he proceeded, with great severity and indignation,
of this he said the house might rest assured, that they would find
the courage of the house of Lords unflinching and invincible.
( Loud cheers.) The lords were quite aware of their strength.
Ultra-whiggism and radicalism were like two portentous giants
brandishing enormous clubs, and threatening a whole phalanx
with annihilation at a blow ; but if any adventurous knight ad-
vanced fearlessly to the rencontre, the two colossal monsters
were at once metamorphosed into gaunt corporals, and their
weapont•fell powerless from their hands. They had heard last
year a great deal of bullying and blustering about altering the
constitution of the House of Lords, and sundry formidable
detke.a. wereelicited by the remarks Which he himself took the
liberty to submit ; but from all this vapouring nothing ensued
but a display of vapid declamation. (Hear and laughter.) Be-
fore he concluded, he would once more turn to the noble lord,
and ask him how he expected that, without an organic change
in the House of Lords, he could ever hope to carry the clause
for pillaging the church of Ireland of its property, or any bill
for establishing throughout Ireland a chain of popish fortresses
for endangering the security of the protestant population?
(Cheers.) Did the noble lord recollect the expedient to which
Brennus had recourse for overwhelming that august assembly
of Roman patricians whose constancy he could not subdue?
He led into the senate house " a band of fierce barbarians from
the hills," and immolated those illustrious patriots at the shrine
of theirgods and of their country. And thus the noble lord, if
he wished to carry through these pernicious enactments, must
march into the House of Lords with 150 titled lacqueys in blue
'and buff liveries at his heels. (Loud cheers and laughter.)
The noble lord had quoted the opinion of a distinguished
foreigner with regard to the comparative merits of houses of
parliament; but if we might judge from experience and obser-
vation,• there was a great preponderance in this country of
hereditary over elective talent. How few bills were ever sent
up from that house which did pot bear the most palpable and
humiliating marks of crude and partial legislation. And it was
as much the practice as it was the province of the house of peers
to detect their anomalies, to rectify their blunders, to supply
their omissions, and to reconcile their incongruities. He naked
every one who heard him whether there was any comparison be-
tween the attention paid to their debates and the interest excited
when the same questions were discussed in the other House ?
How few peers were found seated during the commons' debates
on the commodious benches provided for their reception; but
when the very same bill was discussed in the House of Lords,
half the cabinet ministers, and all the leaders of ,the opposition,
and even many of the staunchest House of Lords' reformers
were to be seen standing with great personal• inconvenience at
the bar for hours together, and listening with delight, perhaps
not unminglect with envy, to the wisdom and ability which are
there continually displayed. (Hear, hear.) How grudgingly
do these delighted auditors retire when summoned by a division-
bell to vote upon some question in their own house, of the de-
bate concerning which they had not heard one single word!
(Hear, and 'a laugh.) But he could not be' surprised at this
;superiority in the House of Lords, When he remembered that
there were found in that assembly the most learned of our clergy,
Itie most profound of our lawyers, the most distinguished of our
heroes, and the most influential of our country gentlemen. He
would conclude by reiterating the expression of his conviction,
that the conduct of the House of Lords would create throughout
the country a feeling of confidence and thankfulness on the part
of those whose approbation it must be the object of every go-
vernment and well-regulated mind to conciliate and to possess,
and that the names of thOse noblemen who had stood pre-emi-
nently forward as the defenders of our protestant institutions
would be handed down to the latest posterity among the most,
distinguished patriots of this Age and nation. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Hume threatened to desert from the ministerial' standard
if justice were not done to Ireland by rejecting the bill. The
collision between the two houses had commenced, and it could
only lead to an organic change in the House of Lords.
• Sir .1. GRAHAM submitted that if this were indeed their posi-
tion, then was revolution threatened. He for one should resist
organic change of the House of Lords, deeming it neither more
nor less than resolution. He regretted, that this question Was
raised, and that the calmness recommended was not practised.
As to the bill, he must say that the concessions made to Ireland,
instead of promoting content and 'diminishing demands, only
increased discontent and multiplied claims; and that he, there-
fore, should take his stand against concessions that had only
such calamitous results.
The CHANCELLOR 'of the Excileeußß in the course of his
speech said that when the proposition came originally before
the house his Majesty's ministers were asked if they would be
satisfied with the extinction of the corporations of Ireland, an .t
they emphatically answered "No." That "No" they. now as
'emphatically repeated. ( Loud cheers from the ministerial side.)
But was their rejection of the bill as it hid come down from the
other house unexpected ? Was there any one in this house or
out of it who believed that the bill could be taken in the form
in which it had come from the other house, or that this house
could undo and unsay all that it had said and done as to it ? In.
ordinary cases the house had many opportunities of discussing
the merits of a bill. There was the first reading, the secon4
readings the committee, the bringing up of the report, the fur-
ther consideration of the report, and, finally, the third reading.
But here they were called upon to take at once a great measuie,
and swallow down the whole of it, without any of that cautious
care which was required by the rules of parliament.

EXTENSIVE Roenariv..—An aged man, a native of the sister
isle, named Patrick Henry, charged a prostitute calling her-
self Mary Ann Price, with robbing him on the previous even-
ing, in a house in Charles-street. Henry said he was a dealer in
second-hand clothes, that he arrived in Liverpool the night before
by the Londonderry steamer, and being a little worse for liquor,
and meeting with the prisoner she persuaded him to accom-
pany her to a house in Charles-street. He went, and in the
morning upon awaking about four o'clock he found the bird
had flown, and his pockets had been rifled of upwards of £375! !
all, excepting a bill for £250 being available money. There
were two £lO, one £5O, ten 'ES notes, all of the Bank of Eng-
land, together with five sovereigns, 14s. 6d. in silver, and some
copper. The witness did not know the number of the notes.
The £250 was a bill payable on demand, in London, drawn
upon the London bankers of the Belfast Northern and Central
Banking Company, which, be fortunately had not endorsed,
and which cannot be honoured without the party presenting it
first forging,_the name of the witness. Henry further stated he
resided in Ulster, and was on his way to London to purchase
second-hand clothes. He had now been deprived, of every far-
thing he had and should return home as soon as he could.
Upon a further investigation it appeared that he had been
drinking with the prisoner and had taken so much liquor as to
prevent him from swearing positively that she was the woman
who entered the bed-room with him. The prisoner, in her de-
fence said, that she was in another persons house at the time
the robbery was committed and she could bring a witness who
would say so. A person was put into the box who corroborated
what she stated. The magistrates ordered her to be discharged.
We understand no part of the money has been recovered.
HARD SWEARING.—PoIice-officers Ainsworth and Lowe, ap-
peared to prefer a charge against Mrs. Ellen Bowskill, who
keeps a public-house, 45, Circus-street, for not admitting them
into the house between the hours of twelve and one o'clock on
Tuesday morning, and for having company drinking in it at
that time.—Ainsworth being sworn, stated, that as he was going
his round at the time mentioned, he heard the voices of men and
women in Mrs. Bowskill's house ; and in consequence he, to-
gether with the other officer, Lowe, knocked and demanded ad-
mittance, when a female came to the door, who denied that
there was any company present in addition to their own family,
which the officer contradicted, upon which the female called
him a liar.—ln answer to the charge, a boy, 14 years of age,
who was employed in the house, swore that he heard the officers
knock at the door about one o'clock, when a female servant
went and opened it and let them in. He was quite certain he
saw the door opened, and both of the complainants walked in
and stood conversing with the servant at the parlour door.
Ainsworth was recalled, and swore positively that the
door was never opened, and that neither he nor Lowe
were in the house that night. About an hour after-
wards he saw two persons go out at the back door. A
woman employed as nurse-maid, stated, that she was in the
house in an adjoining room, and she distinctly heard the door
opened, and the officers talking together in the passage. She
did not, however, see either of them. The errand-boy under-
wenta severe cross-examination by the bench, but his first evi-
dence was not at all shaken by it. Mr. Hall said it was alto-
dethera. remarkable case. The errand-boy had given his evi-
ence in a very clear and distinct manner, and he (Mr. Hall)
saw no reason to believe that it was false. It was, however,
pretty certain that one or the other of the parties had sworn
what was untrue. He was inclined to believe the case could
not be made out upon such evidence; but, the fact of the offi-
cers having seen two persons go out at the back door shortly
afterwards subjected the defendant to the usual penalty. It
was stated that Mrs. Bowskill's house was kept in a regular and
orderly manner, and the present was the first charge of the
kind to which she had been subjected. Fined 20s. and costs.
THE TABLES TURNED.—Yesterday, at the police-office, a
respectable looking female named Jane Kinlin was brought be-
fore the magistrates, charged by a middle-aged woman (who
appeared to have much of the virago in her composition, and
having eves sparkling like Shylock's, with malignity, when he
claimed "his bond,") with having pawned some clothes of hers.
The complainant said that the prisoner was in the habit of
washing for her, and had sent her gown, and her cap, and her
chemese, and had pawned them for a shilling. On being asked
by Mr. Hall if she owed the prisoner anything, she refused to
answer the question, and the prisoner was then told to give her
version of the story. From the statement of the.prisoner it ap-
peared that, if not " the best abused" of living women, she was
at least "pretty well, I thank you. It appeared that the femi-
nines of the two families had long waged a dire war of tongues,
and that the day before the complainant had entered the pri-
soner's house fur the purpose of applying ‘ soft" epithets to the
prisoner's sister. The parties mutually interchanged compli-
ments, which ended in the forcibleejectinentof the complainant,
who not having any one on whom to vent her wrath, valourousty'
attacked the prisoner's windows, and " wilfully did damage
them" to the amount of 3s. '2d. The prisoner sent for a police-
man and had the complainant taken into custody, and complain-
ant then made "a faithful promise" that she would pay the
damage if the prisoner would let her go, which prisoner believ-
ing, the policeman departed; when complainant, waxing va-
liant, told the prisoner she might go to
'suppose) for payment. The prisoner, however, not to be "done"
in any such way, sent some of the complainant's clothes which
she had, to pawn for the amount; for doing which complainant
had her taken into custody for felony. Mr. Hall said she had
done wrong to send the clothes to pawn, and she must pay back
the money, and he would then hear her charge afterwards,and
make complainant refundthe damage. The prisoner intimated
her willingness to accede to this; the complainant looked "flab-
bergasted" and rather "down in the mouth." and the parties
then retired to make the preliminary transfer.

directed to Lord Craven, one to Mr. Hawker, one to
Mrs. Craven, one to Mr. Wickens, and another to Miss
Craven; witness delivered the one to Lord Craven on
Friday morning; does not know what become of the

Mary Davies recalled and re-examined : There was
no doubt the deceased had been in his bed and undressed,
for she found his night cap draw ; he must have risen
and dressed himself.

The Coroner then addressed the jury. It was ex-
tremely
clear that he had come by his death by his own
hand, and the only point for their consideration was,
what was the state of his mind when he committed the
rash act ? There was no evidence to prove whether or
not he had lost any money at the Epsom Races, far less
whether any such loss had led to the commission of the
rash deed. They only point for the consideration of the
jury, as he had already stated, was, whether he was at
the time in a state of temporary mental derangement ?
The jury then consulted together for about forty
minutes, when they returned with a verdict, that " The
jury believed deceased had destroyed himself when in a
state of temporary mental derangement."
The Coroner said he could not accept that verdict.
They must not say what they believed, but return a ver-
dict of some kind or other, wittuit any qualification.
The jury then returned a verdict, That the deceased
destroyed himself when in a state of temporary mental
derangement."

The City of Dublin Steam-packet Company's bill has been
read a second time, the opposition having been withdrawn.
THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSOCIATION.—One of our
representatives has addressed a letter to Mr. Brennan, Parlia-
ment-street, in which he states, that it is mainly attributable to
the exertions of the Liverpool committee of the Licensed Vic-
tuallers' Association that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has
given up the duty of 50 per cent. upon spirit licenses.
FIRE IN ST. JAMES'S-PLACE.—On Sunday morning a fire
broke out on the premises, in St. James's-place, belonging to
Mr. Howarth, surgeon, which, by the timely aid of the neigh-
bours, was extinguished before any extensive damage was done.
Two of the fire-police engines were promptly on the spot, but
were not required, the fire having 'been got under. The pro-
perty was insured.
THE ZOOLOGICAL. GARDENS.—This delightful resort is now
becoming daily more attractive. The late fine weather, by
forwarding the vegetation, has greatly beautified its appearance.
The public apparently appreciate the value of so pleasing, so
innocent, and so healthy an amusement as the garden affords,
and since the late fine weather are beginning to flock there fur
an evening promenade.
We are glad-to learn that a Cricket Club, which will be sup.-
ported by several of the principal residents, has just been
established at Birkenhead, Cheshire ; they have taken a beau-
tiful field a short distance from Woodside, and intend to com-
mence playing this week. We are surprised, considering the
number of young men that reside over there during the summer
months. that such a thing had not been started before.
BASE COIN.—We understand there is at present a great deal
of bad money in circulation in this town. Scarcely a day passes,
without some of -the juvenile thieves with which Liverpool is
infested being brought to thepolite-office charged with attempt-
ing to pay away counterfeit shillings and sixpences to publicans
and shopkeepers. Two well known scamps, calling themselves
Dixon and Callaghan, were, on Saturday, committed for trial
at the sessions for offering two bad shillings in part payment
for ale to the servant of Mrs. Hughes, who keeps the Carnar-
von Castle-public-house, near the New Quay.
CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.—On Saturday last a poor
woman, residing in Scotland-road, went out leaving her child
in her cellar, in which was a fire. Shortly afterwards the
neighbours were alarmed by hearing cries of 'distress from the
cellar, and, upon'going in to ascertain the cause, they saw the
poor little creature with its clothes burning about its person. It
was so severely scorched that it expired almost immediately.

the petition.
Mr. HENRY LAWRENCE said he was not aware that anything
very objectionable was to be found in the declaration as it stood
at present.
Mr. W. DUNCAN thought it would be better that the council
should petition the legislature in favour of Mr. Baines's bill.
In his opinion, it was more suitable than anything which Mr.
Hope's petition presented. Indeed, there were some parts of
that petition to which he had an objection.
A copy of Mr. Baines's bill was here handed by Mr. Duncan
to the Townclerk, who read over some of its clauses.
Mr. Everts had a decided objection to Mr. Baines's bill, and
he would move, if necessary, that they should petition agains'

it.
Mr. DUNCAN then moved, as an amendment to Mr. Hope's
petition. " that the council petition in favour of Mr. Baines's'
bill."
No one seconded the motion, and, upon its being put from the
chair, only two persons stood up in its favour.
Mr. Hope's petition was declared to be carried.
The MA YOR suggested that a copy of the petition should' also
be sent to the House of Lords,
To which Mr. HOPE, after a little hesitation, consented, and
moved that Mr. ;!';wart be requested tr. present it to the Com-
mons, and Lord Holland to the House of Lords.—Agreed to.
Mr. 11 THBoNE moved that the report of the education
committee, which had been in the hands of the members of the
council several days, should be adopted.
The report suggested the propriety of enlarging the South
Infant School-room, of ventilating the North Infant School,
and of erecting galleries in the other school-rooms where it is
practicable. The expense of those improvements would amount
to about £829 10s., to be expended as follows :—For enlarging
the South Infant School-room £270; for ventilating the North
Infant School-room, £2l ; for galleries in the four school-rooms,.
£l5; for play-ground at the North Infant School, £23 10s.
The report likewise states that the current expenses of the
schools in materials and management, though partially !educed,
have been conducted with a very censurable indifference to
economy, without any superior result in the education of the
children that might be considered as a justification of the ex-
travagance of the system. The report concludes by stating that
the' committee will proceed to inquire into what plans have been
found most effectual for the physical, intellectual, moral, and
religious improvement of the pupils of similar schools, particu-
larly those adopted by the Irish education board, and cautiously,
to make atrial of whatever shall appear' most desirable,' taking
&are to avoid anything sectarian or exclusive in the regulations
or iu the religious instructions imparted, in order that the schools
may be open to and sought for by all.—The report is signed by
William ituthboue, Chairman.
Mr. Boi.ToN seconded the motion, that the report be received.
The MAYOR said, he should beg to draw the attention of the
education committee to a letter which had been received from
the Rev. Rector Campbell, which contained some important
suggestions regarding the future management of the schools.
It would appear from the report that no notice had been taken
of the rev. gentleman's letter.
Mr. H. La wRENCE begged to move that the question should
• be adjourned to give time for the consideration ,if the rector's
letter, which was of importance. The education committee
certainly could not be put to much inconvenience by postponing
the adoption of their report till the next meeting. Besides he
Understood that some of the education committee objected to
several parts of the report, and that was his principal reason for
moving an amendment.
Mr. RATHBONE contended that the report and the rector's
letter had no connexion, together, and he could not discover why
the adoption of the report should be delayed on that account.
Notwithstanding, it was his opinion that as the schools were
public ones, and as such, were open to receive the children of
parents whatever might be their religious creed. The distinc-
tion of churchman and dissenter, protestant and catholic, ought
not, and he believed, fur the future would not he recognised in
any of them. It was his opinion that the offer of the rector
could not be entertained, although the committee were grateful
for it.
Mr. HOPE said, in reference to an observation made by Mr.
Henry Lawrence, that some of the education committee did not
agree with the report; that the reasons which those gentlemen

MC. Wild's' liege room, in which the inquest took
;place, was crowded during the whole of the inquiry.
[There can be little doubt that the excitement of the
unfortunate gentleman's mind was produced by his losses
exceeding his means of immediate payment, and as he
possessed the nicest sense of honour, this, no doubt,
worked upon his feelings so as to destroy the power of
reflection, for it is well known that had•he made his situa-
tion known to Lord Sefton and others of his numerous
and wealthy friends, they would readily have furnished
him.with the means of saving his credit. Among other
Winners from the deceased was Mr. Greatrex, to whom he
lost £l3OO, and Mr. Edwards, the trainer, to whore lie
lois £3OO. ft is believed the whole of his losses did not
amount to £Booo.]

EXPORT OF MANUFACTURED GOODS.TO THE UNIT-ED STATES.
-;.lVheshipments to the United St ateshave been most extensive
for the last six weeks. They exceed, we told, those-usually
made in the spring for the American market, -and they are in
creasing, instead of diminishing, as the season advances. The
weekly packet,ships cannot take a quarter of the goods that are
offering, several of the latest having been compelled to refuse
merchandise a week before their day of sailing. The-Indepen-
dence, which sails in the morning, had all her space engaged
tea days ago. The consequence is, that transient ships are in
,great request, and freights have risen. Still the goods are de-
layed from the want of suitable conveyances, the American
ships receiving the decided preference 6f shippers.—Albion.
I NQugsr.—Yesterday; at the Sessions'-house, an inquest was
held before P. F. Curry, Esq.. coroner, touching the death of
`William Lewis, who was found dead in the Vauxhall Bridewell
about half-past four o'clock the morning before. The Vauxhall
Bridewell-keeper deposed to his having been brought drunk to
the Bridewell the night before. From the evidence of Robert
Byrom, policeman, it appeared that the deceased had been
fighting with other two men, in Whitechapel, about one o'clock
in the morning, and was very drunk, that they fought for two
or three minutes, and the deceased fell on his back. They were
all three eventually taken to the watch.house. The deceaSed
became alarmingly ill, and .growing Worse a, stlrgt.on was sent
for, and efforts were made to recover him, brit Mr. C.'
Mitchell, from the- North Dispensary, deposed to •being sent for
to deceased at half-past five o'clock in the morning, and 'that
he had since examined the body; there were no marks of exter-
nal violence, and it was his opinion, from the strong sniell'of
spirits proceeding from his stomach, and the great congestion
of the vessels of the brain, that he had died from apoplexy in
consequence of excessive drinking. The jury returned a verdict
of died by excessive drinking.
