OBSERVATORY COMMITTER.
After the proceedings of the Observatory Committee
had been read. a memorial was presented from several of.
the watchmakers and chronometer makers of the town, in
which they stated that their attention had been called to a
report of the lat meeting of the council, from which it
appeared that chronometers were to be rate I at the Ob-
servatory for captains of ships at a small charge. This
they considered would be unjust to the trade, as they had
gone to expense in obtaining a correct rating of time, and
as they had heavy rents and taxes to pay. They contend-
ed that such cnmpe'ition would be ruinous and they
prayed the council to prevent any such attempt being
made.
Mr. LLOYD said it was well known that the watch ma-
nutacturt r• of this country were much interfered with by
those of France and Switz rl incl. and th,t the council
ought to exercise particular cam on in dem!iorz w'th them.
Mr. AIKIN said his great object was to make the obser-

vations as valuable as possible. for public purposes without
being injurious to individual interests.
After a brief discussion, upon the motion of Mr.
LLOYD, the memorial was 1-eft-I-red to the Observatory
Coin,ittee, with an understanding that the memorialists
should confer with that committee upon the subject.

HEALTH OF THE TOWN COMMITTEE.

Mr. ASPINALL stated that since the appointment of
this committee 5730 yards of flagging, and 3134 yards of
channeling had been laiddown in the north district, and
6507 yards of flagging, and 3974 lineal yards of channeling
in the south district.

Mr. BLACKBURN said the Abbatoir Company was a
great nuisance, arid that it demanded immediate atten-
tion. He asked whether a memorial had not been sent in
against it
The MAYOR replied in the affirmative, but said it had
been mislaid.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Tnrs DAY.

A decidedly good Tuesday's demand for Cotton, and
fully 4000 bales have been sold entirely to the trade at
full market prices current yesterday, viz., an advance of
ltd. per lb. on the lowest point of Thursday last.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, This DAY

<From Messrs. R. Makin & Sons' Circular.)

The fall in the duty on Foreign Wheat and Flour, as
intimated in the foregoing r-port, has been confirmed ;
that on all other produce remaining stationary here until
Friday next.

The arrivals into this port, Coastwise and from Ireland,
were altogether trivial up to the close of last week ; and
except Malt and Flour, of which we have a good supply
fresh in for to-day, that of other articles thence is still
very moderate ; the imports of Foreign produce, during
the same period, consisting of Wheat and Beans, chiefly
Egyptian, with a few parcels of Oats from Embden, and
7219 barrels of Flour from the American States.
In consequence of the improved aspect of the Wheat
trade in some of the inland markets last week, anticipa-
tions of a more lively character were entertained here ;
but the advices received this morning from Mark-lane,
serving rather to check than to promote any extensive
business, the transactions in this branch of the trade to-
day were to a moderate amount only ; good samples of
Irish Wheat, however, were id. per 701 b. dearer, whilst
English and Foreign, though held with unabated firmness,
scarcely exceeded the rates of this day se'nnight. Simi-
lar remarks are applicable to Flour, of all descriptions.
Barley and Malt, upon a limited demand, remained
unaltered in value. Beans and Pease, attended with a
moderate sale to consumers, supported former prices.

Oats and Oatmeal were in some, but by no means
lively request, at our last quotations.
In bonded or floating produce, no sales transpired this
morning.

DEBT,

BANKS V. HALSALL.—Thisitction was brought by the
plaintiff, Mr. Meyrick Banks, of Winstanley Hall, near
Wigan, coal proprietor, to recover from the defendant,
Mr. Thomas Ha!sail, coal dealer, of Liverpool, £33 Gs.
the amount of two boat loads of coals supplied to him in
January and March, 1843 ; but, since the commencement
of the action, £3O has been paid on account by a person
named Everall. The defendant did not receive any of the
goods, and the question to decide was whether he ordered
them. The whole case turned upon two written orders,
and those orders were not forthcoming; but they were
sworn to have been in the defendant's handwriting, and
upon those orders the goods were sent. The jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff; damages £3 65., his lordship
stating that he would certify that the case was proper to
be tried, so as to secure the costs.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

It is intended to open the railway from Darlington to
Newcastle on luesday, the 18th of June, after which there
will be an uninterrupted railway intercourse between New-
castle-upon-Tyne and London.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The bill for
forming the Chester and Holyhead Railway is a volu-
minous document, consisting, independently of the sche-
dules, of 363 clauses; the estimated cost of the under-
taking is £2,100,000, of which the London and Birming-
ham Railway Company subscribe £1,000,000, and take
power to appoint nine out of eighteen directors, by whom
the line is to be managed ; the other nine to be nominated
by the shareholders. The railway is to be completed in
seven years from the passing of the act. It is to commence
by a junction with the Chester and Birkenhead Railway—
to pass under and over Chester by means of tunnels, and
curves, and arches, forcing its way through the walls,
along the Tower field in front of the Infirmary—to inter-
sect the Roodee close by the House of Industry, over-
arching the river Dee near the ship-yard; thence taking
the sea-coast line by Ryhl, Abergele, and Conway, to
Bangor ; crossing by the present Menai bridge into An-
glesea, and thence to the terminus at Holyhead.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sin,—On reading your account of the dedication of the
new Jewish Synagogue, in Pilgrim-street, I was surprised
at the following remark with which it concludes. "It is
to be regretted that the spiritual welfare of the Jews is so
sadly neglected at present in this town. There is no mis-
sionary to them here—nay, not even a tract distributor."
Now, Sir, I have much satisfact on in acquainting you,
as, doubtless, you will have in learning, that so far from
the spiritual welfare of these interesting people being en-
tirely neglected in Liverpool, there is no other provincial
town in England where so much is done for them as in
our own, end that an institution under the title of " The
Liverpool Institution for poor enquiring and converted
Jews" has been in active operation for the last five years,
where such of God's ancient people, as are anxiously en-
quiring their way to Zion, are provided with •a shelter,
and relieved from that anxiety naturally attendant upon
finding themselves outcasts from their own people, and
where they may enter upon the all-important considera-
tion with less distracted minds. In this asylum they are
provided with such food and lodging as are necessary to
their health, without tempting them to enter it from the
unhallowed motive of seeking animal gratification or
creature comforts. The superintendent is a pious bap-
tized Israelite, well qualified, not only from his own per-
sonal experience, to grapple with the difficulties and ob-
jections of his brethren, but from love to them, and zeal
and devotedness in his Master's service. Since this
institution was opened, the God of Abraham, of Isaac,
and of Jacob has abundantly blessed the work. Upwards
of 500 Jews have called upon the superintendent, to all of
whom he has set forth the word of life; 10? leave become
inmates, the first of whom was that devoted young chris-
tianJew, Mr. Margoliouth, whom you refer to as the author
of `• The Fundamental Principles of Modern Judaism
Investigated," and who has lately published a most con-
vincing reply to. Charlotte Elizabeth's letter to the Bish p
or Jerusalem ; 39 of these enquirers have been baptized at
their .own urgent desire—amongst whom there are several
gratifying specirriet.s of true christian piety:;—and of those
who have lett without making a public profession, many
of them acknowledged their belief in Jesus, as the Mes-
siah,.but were afraid to confess him openly.
I cannot venture to trespass so much upon your space,
as to enter into the &Lois of the management of this
valuable institution, or the means adapted for guarding
a.,ainst imposters. It will suffice to rt.y, that txperienee
has shewn them to be generally effective : and should any
of your readers wish for further information, and favour
me with a call, I shall readily supply them with it.
I am, Sir, respectfully your's,
J. RIGBY,
Treasurer and Acting Sec. Liverpool Institution
for Poor Enquiring arid Converted Jews.

MR. EVANS'S EXPLANATION.

Mr. EVANS here rose and said he had been told that
during his absence fram the council a qutstion had been
put as to whether any member or members of the Dock
Comrnitte?, and the council had put their names to a peti-
tion against the dock bill, and used every influence in their
power in favour of that petition. Now, for his own part,
he was the man that did it, and that would always do it
when he considered that the Dock Committee and the
council were pursuing a wrong course. He was told what
was rather more materia , that there were allegations in
the petition which were untrue. He had not drawn it up,
but he had looked it over, and he declared there was no-
thing in it which struck him as untrue. This was not the
first time that an attempt had been made to interfere with
his public duty. Upon a former occasion, there was a long
editorial article in the Albion; and a gentleman of the
Dock Committee got up and complained that it contained
insinuations against himself. He could have told that
gentleman, as he told him then, that if he went and asked
any of the editors where he believed his (Mr. Evans's)
hand was to be distinguished, they had full authority to
give his name up ; and then, if he had any complaint to
make, ;any redress or satisfaction to demand, he would
know where to come ; but not to go and get off all perso-
nal responsibilities by drawing, as it were, public assem-
blies on to shield him and his purposes. He could not
but admire the effrontery of Mr. Birkett. There—(point,
ing at him)—there he is, at the head of the warehouse
interest; and there he and others were, opposing the
Warehouse Dock Bill year after year.
Mr. Br RKETT.—It's not the fact as regards me.
Mr. NORTH having here again pointed out in one of the
petitions, the Manchester one, which he belived to be
similar to that sent from Liverpool, what he conceived to
be misrepresentations,

Mr. BIRKETT denied Mr. Evans's right to impute
motives.

Mr. EVANS, (with emphasis.)—l assure you, sir, that
I have not the most exalted opinion of your motives.
Mr. SHEPPARD rose to order.
The MAYOR.—I ask Mr. Evans to withdraw the impu-
tation of motives.

_....-.
Mr. EVANS.—What motives ?
The MAYOR.-1 understand you imputed motives : I
didn't hear it myself, bat Mr. Birkett says so.
Mr. EVANS.—No : I told him I hadn't the most ex-
alted opinion of his motives: and I hold that opinion
still.
The conversation here dropped.
ST. NICHOLAS'S CLOCK.

A memorial from Mr. Hugh Hughes praying for fur-
ther investigation with reference to the clock lately fitted
up at St. Nicholas's Church, was referred to the Watch
Committee.

MR. BOUTFLOWER'S DEATH.
The MAYOR read a note from Mr. Howard, announc-
ing the death of Mr. Boutflower, one of the members for
Abercromby Ward ; and his worship was authorised to
acknowledge its receipt, and to express the regret of the
council and their sympathy with the afflicted widow and
family.

their estahlishments and sustain the pomp of their high
stations in the church!'

H;:ppy must he the condition of these " mensal
pariAies," whose inhabitants are bled and blistered
under the immediate eye, and for the benefit of, the
chief spiritual physicians.

" 4. Bishops get from £3 to £6 for every altar in every
parish under their spiritual controul, and the money is
called praxis money.' 5. Along with getting so much
from the parish priests, they also must get from one to
two guineas from every curate, according to the supposed
means of his curacy. 6. Bishops get from every clergy-
man whom they may appoint to a parish or parish priest
thirty or forty guineas, or more, according to the nature
of the benefice to which the clergyman may have been
collated. This is called ' collation money,' according to
our language, and is the same as the money the tenants
give for the leases of their houses and farms. 7. In some
parts of Ireland it is the practice for every clergyman to
pay £1 or lOs for the bishop's servant. Thus it is noto-
rious that the servant only gets a small salary out of that
fund ; but the remainder goes, of course, to maintain the
dignity of the mitre ! 8. Bishop:, in fine, have and take
to themselves the annual Chrisetnas and Easter collec-
tions made at their mensal chapels, and do not allow their
curates or administrators one shilling of it to support
themselves."

A goodly collection of profitable items are here,
which our " Roman Catholic cl ergyman" instruct
us how to sum up—thus :
" There are in every diocese, arch and suffragan, with
very few exceptions—such as Galway, Kilmacduagh, and
Killala—at least sixty or seventy parishes, and every
parish produces at an average 100 marriages. Every
Parish has three or four altars—the annual average num-
ber of vacancies may vary from ten to sixteen. Now, let
the marriage fees, the fees for kindred, the praxis money
for every altar, the collection charges, the receipts of the
mensal parishes, the nominal servants' collection, the
curates' episcopal dues—let all this money be added to-
gether, and the public will be able to say that the bishops
are right to oppose with all their power any state provi-
sion for the Irish hierarchy."
We will endeavour to make the calculation for
our communicative friend in our best arithmetic.
Here it is.

the trade firm, and a fair extent of business transacted. at an
advance of fully is per qr. from the rates of last Friday.

LONDON CORN MARKET, APRIL 1.
We receive fresh up this morning a moderate supply of Wheat
and spring Corn, the condition being fully as good as on this

quotat ons of last Monday. Barley is hardly so good as last
week,
except for the very finest samples, which are sca.ce, In
Oa s the t, ansactions have been limited, but they are held for
full prices. Beans in fair demand at last week's prices. Maple
Peas the turn lower In white and blue Peas but little fresh

seeds the demand still rontinues limited; and when sales of
Clover have been made, holders h..ve submitted to lower prices.
Canary and Mustard Seeds fully as dear.

THE COURT.

THE ROYAL FAMILY AT WINDSOR.—On Wednesday
afternoon, her majesty, accompanied by their majesties
the King and Queen of the Belgians and the royal family,
and attended by the royal suite, left town for Windsor
Castle.

His Majesty the King of the Belgians and suite, arrived
at Woolwich in the Princess Alice steam-packet. from
Ostend, at a quarter before eight o'clock OD. Tuesday
evening, and reached Buckingham Palace at ten minutes
past nine o'clock, where he was received by the Queen
and the Queen of the Belgians, attended by the ladies and
gentlemen in waiting.

GENERAL TOM THUMB.—On Monday night, pursuant
toth e commands of her Majesty, " General Tom Thumb,"
the American dwarf, bad the honour of appearing, for the
second time, before the Court at Buckingham Palace. In
addition to her Majesty, the Queen of the Belgians, the
Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice,
and their respective suites, and a distinguished party, wit-
nessed the performances of this extraordinary little gentle-
man. His personation of the Emperor Napoleon elicited
great mirth, and this was followed by his representation
of the Grecian statues, after which he danced a nautical
hornpipe, and sung several songs. Her Majesty, at the
conclusion of the entertainment, was pleased to present to
the General, with her own hind, a superb souvenir, of the
most exquisite handicraft, manufactured of mother-of-
pearl, and mounted with ;old and precious stones. Her
Majesty subsequently presented the General with a beau-
tiful gold pencil case, expressing her high gratification at
the versatile talents of the General, and complimenting
Mr. Barnum, his guardian, on the aptness of his pupil.
The dwarf had scarcely made his appearance at the Egyp-
tian Hall when his Grace the Duke of Wellington hon-
oured him with a visit. At the moment the Duke entered
the room, he was giving an imitation of Napoleon musing
at St. Helena ; and on the hero of Waterloo inquiring
hat the General was meditating up.,n, Mr. Barnum hap-
oily replied, " utmn the loss of the battle of Waterloo.,
His Grace took the dwarf into his arms, and asked him
seve al questions, with the answers to which the Duke
appeared much pleased. On his departure the Duke pre-
sented the General with a handsome present.

at no remote period, worked only for tin, .1 e copper ore

REV. MR. CRAGG AND MR. BRIGHT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR,—WIII you allow me a 'lace in the STANDARD to
correct two essential rrors, which I see in the Mercury's
report of the last meeting of he select vestry, Mr. Bright
has committed, in whit he is reported to have said in re-
ference to my-elf. Rtlort.—" Mr. Bright begged to call
the attention of the we-try to a resolution of the Work-
house Committee, confirmed by the vestry on the 25th of
January last, directing the chaplain to purchase school-
books for the Low-hill school, similar to those which had
been recently introduced in the Workhouse school in
Brownlow-hill, and of which there was a great deficiency
in the Low-hill establishment." The following is the re-
solution, which will show what I REALLY WAS DIRECTED
to do, and the discrepancy in Mr. Bright's statement, and
the simple !penning. Jahuary 25th, 1844, " Resolved.
That the Rev. Mr. C lig; be directed to purchase such
books as he may consider necessary and useful for the
use of the school in Low hill." Such is the plain sense
of the resolution. Report.—Mr. Bright proceeds to say:
" He (Mr. Bright) found that from some cause this order
had not been acted on, and he wished that the vestry
should be made acquainted with that fact ;" and he goes
on in a strain of vituperation. My answer to this state-
ment is, that I HAVE PROVIDED BOOKS, TESTAMENTS,
CATECHISMS, and OTHER BOOKS, SUCH AS ACCORDING
TO THE LITERAL TENOR OF THE RESOLUTION, I
CONSI-
DERED .. NECESSARY AND USEFUL.'
I would gladly hope that Mr. Bright in the above state-
ments did not intend to cist an unfavourable imputation
on n3yself•i but as they have gone forth to the public with
such apparent tendency, I have felt it just to myself, in
my own defence, to seek a public channel to correct tbecn.
Tile favour of your insertion of this letter will much
oblige, yours respectfully, S. CRAGG.
