WATER COMMITTEE.

The proceedings of the Water Committee comprised a
recommendation to appoint Mr. Scott managing engineer
of the water works, at the salary of £4OO per annum, and
a recommendation to appoint Mr. Rodgers secretary and
in-door manager, at the salary of £3OO per annum.
The Council agreed to pay Mr. Gage £357, the amount
of his taxed bill. They also agreed to pay Mr. Rawlinson
engineer, the sum of £l6lO, being the balance of his
claim for the Bala Lake project.
Mr. Procter moved that all proceeding in reference to
the scheme of carrying water from the Rivington Pike
dstrict, for the supply of Liverpool, be suspended for
twelve months ; and that, in the meantime, the whole
of the present water works be placed under the superin-
tendence of the borough engineer, and that he shall re-
port from time to time to the Council the amount of defi-
ciency, if any, which may be found in the supply afforded
by the present works to keep up such supply to the quan-
tity necessary for use by the inhabitants, and for all other
requisite local purposes.
Mr. BOOKER seconded the motion.

A. long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Nicol, Mr.
Harbord, Mr. S. Holme, Mr. Aikin, and others took
part.

Mr. LACE replied.
The Council divided, when there appeared, for Mr.
Procter's motion 15, against it, 30.
The motion was consequently lost.
Mr. TINNE moved that the borough engineer be gene-
ral manager and superintendent of the stations and ma-
chinery, having under him an assistant engineer, and
such a staff as is required for the purpose.
This motion was also lost by a majority of 20 to 15.
The proceedings were confirmed ; and the Council ad-
journed to Monday.

THE WEATHER.—Since our last publication, the
weather has been extremely unsettled, with very heavy
rains, particularly on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,
which may have done some injury to the grain crops, by
laying them, as they are now heavy and approaching to
ripeness. We have not, however, as yet heard of any
particular damage, and, if the weather should take up, all
will be well. The other crops are rapidly advancing.
ANOTHER TRIAL.—It appears that the hangers-on of
Conciliation-hall are already boastingoftheirintention to re-
open that nursery of treason the moment the country is
permitted to enjoy even temporary tranquillity by the
suppression of the " King of Munster's" abortive effort
to overthrow British supremacy in Ireland. Mr. John
O'Connell, it seems, actually contemplates his restoration
to the dictatorship, which, when matters grew serious, he
was but too happy to surrender.

MOURNING.

IT has ever been a source of inconvenience and
regret, on occasions when Mourning attire has been re-
quired, that its purchasers have at such a time been compelled
to the painful necessity of proceeding from Shop to Shop in
search of each distinct article of Dress. This may be com-
pletely obviated by a visit to the

LONDON GENERAL MOURNING WAREHOUSE,
where every Material for a complete Outfit of Mourning, in
SILK, PARAMATTA, COBOURG, BORNEO, MERINO,
CRAPS, BAREGE, and MUSLIN, for MOURNING DRESSES,

can be bought on the most reasonable terms, and, if required,
made up at the shortest notice, by experienced Artistes (em-
ployed on the Premises), with the strictest attention to taste,
elegance, and economy.

I have much pleasure in certifying tiiit Mr. Levi extracted
several corns out of my feet eighteen months since, and upon
a thorough examination I find there is not the least sign of any
others having taken their places, and I have been perfectly free
from pain in consequence.

I certify that Mons. Levi removea a very troublesome corn

skill and without the least pain.

on WEDNESDAY, the 16th instant, at Eight o'clock in the
Evening, the GOODWILL, FIXTURES, and FITTINGS of
that old-established and e '-known INN or lUB LIG:HOUSE,

been occupied fourteen years by the present Proprietor, who is
declining Business, and will grant the Purchaser a Lease at a
moderate rent, with liberty to alter the front into a Vault,
which may be done at a trifling expense so as to be equal to
any in the town.
Mr. GRICE would call the attention of the Trade generally to
this most eligible situation, being in a densely populated neigh-
bourhood, with the immense thoroughfare of Byrom-stre
within ten yards, and that of Richmond-row crossing the front
door, as well as an entrance to Circus-street at the back.

A NEW WEAPON OF CIVIL WARFARE.

When it was supposed that Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher,
and the other rebel leaders, had taken refuge in the col-
lieries in the neighbourhood of their defeat, it was con-
ceived that it would be a rather perilous feat for the police
to attempt to dislodge them from amongst the " black
boys." An eminent tactician of our acquaintance sug-
gested, as an efficacious movement, the propriety- of
throwing down each shaft a few dozen hives of• bees,
whose stings,. well applied, would promptly place-both
the pikes and the pickaxes of the said " boys" hors' de
combat.

WATER COMMITTEE

The proceedings of the Water Committee comprised a
recommendation to appoint Mr. Scott managing engineer
of the water works, at the salary of £4OO per annum, and
a recommendation to appoint Mr. Rodgers secretary and
in-door manager, at the salary of £3OO per annum.
The Council agreed to pay Mr. Gage £357, the amount
of his taxed bill. They also agreed to pay Mr. Rawlinson
engineer, the sum of £l6lO, being the balance of his
claim for the Bala Lake project.
Mr. Procter moved that all proceeding in reference to
the scheme of carrying water from the Rivington Pike
dstrict, for the supply of Liverpool, be suspended for
twelve months ; and that, in the meantime, the whole
of the present water works be placed under the superin-
tendence of the borough engineer, and that he shall re-
port from time to time to the Council tho amount of defi-
ciency, if any, which may be found in the supply afforded
by the present works to keep up such supply to the quan-
tity necessary for use by the inhabitants, and for all other
requisite local purposes.
Mr. BOOKER seconded the motion.

A long discussion ensued, in which. Mr. Nicol, Mr.
Harbord, Mr. S. Holme, Mr. Aikin, and others took
Part•

Mr. LACE replied.
The Council divided, when there appeared, for Mr.
Procter's motion 15, against it, 30.
The motion was consequently lost.
Mr. TINNE moved that the borough engineer be gene-
ral manager and superintendent of the statione and ma-
chinery, having under him an assistant engineer, and
such a staff as is required for the purpose.
This motion was also lost by a majority of 20to 15.
The proceedings were confirmed ; and the Council ad-
journed to Monday.

From R. Steele, Esq.
Mr. Levi has this day operated upon a corn under my great
toe-nail with the greatest skill, and in a short period of time.
The corn has been under my nail a long time, which caused it
to grow into the flesh, and thereby inflammation was incurred ;
but I am happy to state Mr. Levi has cured my toe entirely,
and I can walk now with the greatest ease. I can, therefore,
recommend my friends who are suffering from the same cause
to pay a visit to Mr. Levi. R. STEELE.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—The market, or. the whole, has remained
quiet since Tuesday. There has been, perhaps, a little more
doing, the firmness in price having stood the test of a.few days
forbearance on the part of buyers, such .as- have orders that
require more immediate attention, are coming into the market,
and the prices asked are more readily conceded. In the yarn
market the demand is chiefly for Russia, Germany, and by ma-
nufacturers; and in the cloth market the home trade houses
have been operating somewhat more freely.
LEE D S.—The improvement which we noticed as having taken
place in the woollen trade, a few weeks ago, in this town and
the neighbourh)od, still continues. Our public market on
Tuesday was well attended by buyers, and a large amount of
goods changed hands at firm prices. Many of the manufactu-
rers are engaged on orders, and the aspect of the trade is
tolerab'y good. A very general opinion prevails, that if the •
harvest is well secured, trade will be better than it has been
for a long time past.
BRADFORD.—WOOL : Thisbas been, another week of dulness.
The spinners, having got into stock, evince no disposition- to
huy, except for immediate use. The supply coming to market
is on the increase, and the quality and soundness of new wool
is favourably spoken of. In. price, there is no change from our
last. Noils and Brokes are in steadyrequest, at a shade higher
price. Yarns: There is• no improvement in the demand this
week; the accounts from Germany having a less pacific ten-
dency, deters those engaged in business with those disturbed
countries from acting. For Russia there continues to be a little
doing. The home trade is taking a large quantity of dyed
yarns, which operates strongly against the Scotch trade, who
previously took large supplies to be dyed in the hank. Pieces :
The demand for fancy goods continues active, and no stock in
the market. The small quantity of fancy goods the looms pro-
duce, when compared with orleans and other plain goods,
keeps the market bare. Fine cobourgs are scarce, and better
prices obtained. Orleans are fast moving off, with few making.
HALIFAX.—But a small amount has been done at our Piece
Halls this week. Yarns are much the same as for some time
back, the dema^d being limited. Wool still continues in the
same dull state, the staplers holding heavy stocks, and not
much demand.

HUDDERSFIELD.-Our market this week has been a good
one, rather an improvement upon last week than otherwise.
Dark fancy goods, of plain ,styles, are much in request. The
low price at which wools have been sold lately, induces consi-
derable contracts, at a fair remuneration. Stocks have not
been so low as they are now for the last two years.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MA RKET. —The market this week has
been rather dull, owing, it is said, to the reported disturbances
in Ireland,. and the agitated state of the Chartists and Irish
Repealers Lancashire. Buyers only purchase small quanti-
ties of goods. Prices, both of flannels and wool, remain much
the same as usual.

AN UNREASONABLE DEMAND GOT RID OP

Mr. H. Grattan, in a recent speech, mentioned, as one
of Ireland's grievances, the want of brick and slate
houses for the peasantry, which, he maintained, the
landlords ought to build them forthwith. After the
slating which the said peasantry received at the widow
Cormack's house, we suspect that houses of the mud and
thatch kind will be preferred. as bricks and slates are
likely to recal unpleasant reminiscences for some time to
come.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 5

The weather during the week has been fine though not of a
settled character; and business in this and the neighbouring
Markets, has consequently been restricted to the supply of
present wants. The prospects of the harvest, so far, do not as
a whole, promise more than an ordinary result, if that, as
regards either quantity or quality. We had a return of rain
last night and this morning, with a declining barometer. Our
Market to-day is quiet: there is no stock of an thine, and the
current arrivals of home produce both here and at Liverpool,
are no more than sufficient for the consumptive demand, which
takes all articles off slowly at the rates of our last. Potatoes
are broughtto market in great quantity, and of good quality
at low prices.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1848-08-08

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY.

A conversation of some interest, which originated from
some comments made by Sir De L. Evans on the report
of _the election committee for. North Cheshire, relative to
the general system of treating adopted by both candi-
dates for that county, then took place. in which Lord J.
RUSSELL and Mr. S. WORTLEY laid it do.wn that giving
refreshments to county electors on their coming to the
poll was not treating, unless refreshment was given for
the purpose of influencing the vote.
Mr. V.'SMITH, on the other hand, contended, that so
long as the customs of England remained as hospitable as
they now were, some refreshment must and ought to be
given, to county electors who came from a distance to
tender their votes.
This doctrine was controverted by Mr. BRIGHT, who
declared himself an absolute purist both in county and
borough elections, and pronounced the giving of any kind
of refreshment as an act of corruption.
Colonel SIBTHORP fired up against this doctrine, and
stood up as usual for the extension of hospitality and
Christian charity to the poorer portion of the constitu-
ency by the more wealthy representative.
Sir R. PEEL took the same view of the law as had been
taken by Lord John Russell and Mr. S. Wortley, in
which he was corroborated by Mr. HENLEY, who never-
theless thought it advisable that some clear and distinct
rule ought to be laid down, distinguishing the treating
which is legal from that which is illegal.
At the close of the conversation, the House resolved.
itself into committee.

Considerable discussion and several divisions on amend-
ments proposed to various clauses of the bill then took
place, but no essential change was made in it, although
several amendments were agreed to. The schedules,
however, were not passed, with the exception of that part
of the first schedule which includes the boroughs of Derby,
Great Yarmouth, and Carlisle.
The house then resumed, and shortly afterwards re-
solved itself into a committee of supply on the Museum
Estimates, which were moved by Sir R. Peel, and agreed
to after some slight discussion.
