THE WAREHOUSE QUESTION.

The MAYon. read a memorial from the associated bo-
dies on the subject of preventing fires, and praying that a
clause be inserted in the Fire Bill, for enabling the Dock
Committee to proceed with additional warehouses at the
Albert Dock, and to erect the sheds on the west quays of
the Prince's Dock, into fire-proof warehouses.
Mr. EVANS supported the memorial, contending that
the owners of warehouses ought, as well for their own
sakes as for the public good, to concede the point. What-
ever might be the views of those in council those out of
doors would no more feel themselves restricted by the late
act, than the public ever felt restricted by any other act
of the legislature.
Mr. AIKIN said if they persevered in the insane system
that had been pursued, the warehouse interest would be
the first to cry out, because our cotton would go to Man-
chester, and our sugar to Lancaster, and our other goods
elsewhere.

Mr. H ARBORD said if the warehouse owners had car-
ried their opposition still further it would have been
better for the town, for it would have prevented the
Dock Committee from wasting the money which they
would do if they were permitted to proceed. The Albert
Warehouses would not pay 2 per cent. The warehouse
interest would oppose to the utmost any violation of the
agreement.
Sir T. BRANCKER moved that the memorial lie on the
table.
Mr. AIKIN thought it would be much more respectful
that the memorial should be referred to the Finance Com-
mittee, which he accordingly moved.
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE seconded the amendment. He
thought such a memorial ought to be treated with all
respect and courtesy. The present warehouse system was
bad. We were doing all in our power to help Manches-
ter to obtain the inland Bonding Bill. Mr. Bramley-
Moore proceeded to contend that there is not sufficient
warehouse accommodation in Liverpool. He had seen
carts laden with cotton proceeding to Aigburth. Under
the present system the robberies that were committed
were alarming. There were not less than 1000 bales of
cotton pilfered in a year, under the present system, besides
indigo, and other articles that could be carried away with
greater facility.
The TOWN-CLERK gave it as his opinion that it would
be out of the question to think of introducing such a clause
in the Fire Bill. It would not be permitted.
Mr. AIKEN- said, after that opinion he had no course but
to withdraw his amendment. . . .

It was agreed that the memorial should lie on the table,
and that the mayor should communicate the result to the
delegates of the associated bodies.
The council broke up at a quarter before four o'clock.

a special meeting of the council, to consider the Fire
Bill, was helJ on Saturday, for a report of which see ano-
ther column.

TRIAL TRIP.

The Bentinck left the Coburg Dock early on Thursday
morning, and proceeded on atrial of the ship and engines,
hence to Holyhead and back. She was found to meet the
anticipations of all connected with her. There were on
board, her experienced and polite commander, Captain
Kellock, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Wilson, the builder, Mr. Faw-
cett, constructor of the engines, and several other gentle-
men. She started about six o'clock, the wind then blow-
ing fresh from the westward. The following is a statement
of her progress :

GOING.

h. m.
At 6 10—abreast of the Rock.
6 55 " N. W. Buoy.
12 15— " The Skerries.
1 5 " At Holyhead.
RETURNING.
2 16— " Point Lynas.
515 " Light-ship.

6 4 " Rock Lighthouse.
Making the trip out and back, a distance of upwards of
130 nautical miles, in 11 hours and 56 minutes. Her
speed was occasionally twelve knots, and she was found
to be remarkably easy,. and without perceptible vibration.
The engines worked beautifully, making from 13 to 151
revolutions per minute.
She will, we learn, proceed to Southampton, via Dublin'
on the 17th instant.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY.

Mr. BLEWITT, asked Sir R. Peel what position was
now occupied, and what control enjoyed, by the Duke of
Wellington in the Government?
Sir R. PEEL said, that the office held by the Duke is
that of Commander-in-Chief; that he is a member of
the Cabinet; and that he has a great control in the Go-
vernment, arising from the willing deference of his col-
leagues, who are proud to be associated with such a man.

,
Mr. Hurr made his annual motion respecting the
Stade Tolls, which, on the recommendation of Lord
PALMERSTON, he withdrew.

Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN then moved the following resolu-
tion :—" That this house will resolve itself into a com-
mittee, for the purpose of taking into consideration the
causes of the discontent at present prevailing in Ireland,
with a view to the redress of grievances, and to the esta-
blishment of a system of just and impartial government
in that part of the United Kingdom."

A debate on Irish grievances then ensued, in which
there was nothing new advanced on either side, and which,
on the motion of Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, was ad-
journed at one o'clock.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1843-07-11

THE FIRE HILT.

The TOWN-CLERK reported that this bill was lodged,
and would go into committee next Tuesday. Copies
would be in his hands on the following day, when the ab-
stract would be banded to the members of the council.

PAID OFFICERS' COMMITTEE.
A very voluminous report of this committee was pre-
sented, It was taken as read.

Mr. LLOYD moved that the report be. printed, and a
copy sent to each member of the council, and that it be
taken into consideration at the next monthly council.
This was agreed to. The increase of Mr. Fox's salary
was likewise postponed, but it was understood that it
commences from the present month.

THE ALBERT DOCK WAREHOUSES.

---
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE asked what the estimate for the
Albert Dock warehouses was. Were the warehouses to
be fire-proof! There were various assertions on these
subjects. Some said the warehouses would cost £3B per
square yard, others £ll.
Mr. SANDS said he had been greatly astonished to see
in the papers, an assertion, that the warehouses would
cost as much as £4O per square yard. Mr. Stewart could
bear him out in the assertion, that with the vaults they
would cost £lO per square yard, and without the vaults
£B. It was intended to make the warehouses fire-proof,
and, when finished, he believed the insurance offices would
insure them as low as any warehouses whatever.
Mr. EARLE.—Does the estimate include the making:of
the ground?
Mr. SANDS.—Not the making of the dock-wall, cer-
tainly.

M. EARLE.—Then I think they will cost £4O.

IMPROVEMENT AND COURTS OF LAW, &C. COMMITTEES.
Mr. HODGSON moved Mr. Stewart, a member of the
Improvement Committee, in the room of Mr. Samuel
Holme.

It was necessary that the question be postponed in com-
pliance with the standing order.
Mr. EARLE gave notice that be should move that Mr.
Stewart be a member of the Courts of Law, &c. Com-
mittee.
ARTIFICIALLY-DRESSED MEAT.
The new bye-law for extending to the whole borough
the regulation against the exposure to sale of blown and
stuffed meat was read, and ordered to stand over till the
next council.

BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS

The first general meeting of this body, as ht present
constituted, was held on Tuesda} evening last, at the
Town-hall, Birkenhead. The following gentlemen were
present:—Messrs. J. S. Jackson, W. Cole, J. R. Pim,
A. Kerr, R. Fry, C. Bentham, T. A. Dale, J. H. Hind,
W. Homer, J. Laird, W. Jackson, W. Adamson, D.
Appleton, D. M4Nicol, S. Stansfield, and J. N. Wood.
In the absence of Mr. J. D. Case, Mr. Win. Jackson,
vice-chairman, took the chair. Several of the newly-
elected members took the declaration required by act of
parliament.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1843-07-11

NEW MARKET AND TOWN-HALL.

Mr. Wood said that, a few months ago, a committee
was requested to enquire into the necessity for building a
new town-hall and market, and he wished to know whether
they had reported?
The CHAIRMAN said it had been deemed prudent to
wait until the new act was passed.
Mr. WOOD said it was time something was done, for
there were loud complaints about the present market.
Mr. Woo]) asked if they were going to warehouse cot-
ton at Birkenhead ?

The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt that they
would soon not only warehouse cotton, but all other
kinds of goods, and he hoped they would soon discharge
ships there.
In reply to a question from Mr. WOOD,
The CHAIRMAN said that, including the entire pur-
chase money of the ferry, £83,000 had already been bor-
rowed. The £14,000 now to be taken up was to pay for
a portion of the land for the park, and would make £97,000.
They would want a considerable sum to carry on their
operations. At the first meeting in August the ferry com-
mittee would be able to make such a statement to the
board that would prove to them that they were not going
beyond their tether.
Mr. MALLABY said the statement would be to the effect
that, after paying the interest of all this money, there was
a clear surplus.
The Commissioners then adjourned till that day fort-
night.

MILITARY DONKEYS.-A very amusing and highly
laughable race with donkeys, ridden by 13 of the officers
of the 2d Life Guards, for a sweepstakes of one sovereign
each, with nothing added, came off a few evenings ago,
after mess, in the park of Captain Bulkeley, at Spittal,
near Windsor; feather weights, and the winner to be sold
for all it would fetch. After a well contested race of a
mile, which was got over in something less than a quarter
of an hour, during which time there were about six times
as many falls and " pitches over" as there were donkeys,
the prize was won, entirely through superior jockeyship,
by Captain Bulkeley, the President of the Mechanics'
Institute.

There is a lobby on the starboard side, close-et, the

On the lows~ deck, below the saloon- and upper cabins,

story of state-rooms, or dormitoriss, with wide passages,
all well lighted by side-lights, ventillating hatchways, &c.,
and fitted up as handsomely as those above.

The subsidiary arrangements are on an eqw.±l scale of
costliness and efficiency. The ship is divided by iron
bulkheads into five compartments—giving her great safety
in case of accident—and there are large cisterns for water,
approved pumping apparatus, &c. &c. Coolness and ven-
tilation have been especially studied, and in every depart-
ment the marine superintendent of the vessel, Mr. Shaw,
who has had long practical experience, appears to have ex--
celled even his former efforts.

RAIDVAY INTELLIGENCE

We hear that the directors of the Grand Junction Rail-
way have it in contemplation to contract for the whole of
the locomotive department.
Arrangements have been come to for carrying the
Northen and Eastern Railway to Cambridge, and thence
to Ely, and most probably that will be followed by a
branch from Ely to Norwich.
LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—The effect of
the railway is evidently felt in the intercourse by this
route between London and Paris. On Saturday last the
Dart sailed for Dieppe with about 60 passengers, and re-
turned on Tuesday with 40. The Dart sailed again yes-
terday with 60 passengers.—Brighton Gazette, June 22.
RAILWAY FROM WORCESTER TO CARDIFF,—Mr.
Edward Powell, a civil engineer, is taking measures for
the establishment of a railway between the above places,
and which is to connect the great population of the mid-
land counties and the north of England with the populous
districts of South Wales and the South of Ireland.
DUFFRYN AND LYNN RAILWAY.—At the annual Ge-
neral Meeting of the proprietors, held at Glamorgan—
Sir Digby Mackworth, Bart., in the chair—the report an-
ticipated an augmentation of traffic, and a dividend of
four per cent. to the shareholders. The receipts for the
Tear amounted to £5,277, leaving a balance, after the pay.
ment of expenses, of £2,200.

RAILWAY TO HOLYHEAD.—The government has at
present under consideration plans for quickening the in-
tercourse between England and Ireland, by forming a rail-
way from Chester to Holyhead. The line will cross the
Dee just below Chester race ground, and will keep the sea
coast along nearly the whole of its course, winding round
the base of Penmaenmawr and others of the Welsh moun-
tains, crossing the Menai Straits by the present bridge,
and terminating at Holyhead.

- - -
RAILWAY EXPEDITION.—A few days ago the clerk at
the Spondon station, on the Midland Counties Railway.
having occasion to send a written message to an individual
al the Leicester station, despatched his epistolary message
by a train at 20 minutes past 5 p.m., and received an an-
swer at 50 minutes past 6 the same evening ! The dis-
tance is 54 miles, and 7 minutes was occupied between the
arrival of the message and the departure of the train bear-
ing the reply.
The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Committee
have published their report, and on the whole it presents a
cheering aspect. A reduction in the working staff of
about £4OOO. per annum is recommended, but it appears
to be a question whether some of the higher salaries might
not be cut down, instead of making the weight of this sav-
ing fall upon the lowest class of servants in the company.
The opening of the Bristol and Gloucester line is expected
to increase the traffic of the line.

neral Meeting of the proprietors, held at Glamorgan—
Sir Digby Mackworth, Bart., in the chair—the report an-
ticipated an augmentation of traffic, and a dividend of
four per cent. to the shareholders. The receipts for the
year amounted to .£5,277, leaving a balance, after the pay-
ment of expenses, of £2,200.

RAILWAY TO HOLYHEAD.—The government has at
present under consideration plans for quickening the in-
tercourse between England and Ireland, by forming a rail-
way from Chester to Holyhead. The line will cross the
Dee just below Chester race ground, and will keep the sea
coast along nearly the whole of its course, winding round
the base of Penmaenmawr and others of the Welsh moun-
tains, crossing the Menai Straits by the present bridge,
and terminating at Holyhead.

RAILWAY EXPEDITION.—A few days ago the clerk at
the Spondon station, on the Midland Counties Railway.
having occasion to send a written message to an individual
al the Leicester station, despatched his epistolary message
by a train at 20 minutes past 5 p.m., and received an an-
swer at 50 minutes past 6 the same evening ! The dis-
tance is 54 miles, and 7 minutes was occupied between the
arrival of the message and the departure of the train bear-
ing the reply.

The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Committee
have published their report, and on the whole it presents a
cheering aspect. A reduction in the working staff of
about £4OOO. per annum is reccm mended, but it appears
to be a question whether some of the higher salaries might
not be cut down, instead of making the weight of this sav-
ing fall upon the lowest class of servants in the company.
The opening of the Bristol and Gloucester line is expected
to increase the traffic of the line.

The Ladies' Cabin, on the larboard side', iS at the other
end of the corridor, and is fitted tip' hi a more deli-

The Fore-cabin. with its wide approaches,. is quite equal
in convenience and almost in elegance to the after cabins.
There is a lobby on the starboard side, close to the outer
wall of the ship. by which the passengers may go from the
fore-part of the principal corridore to the forecastle.
On the lower deck, below the saloon and upper cabins,
and also forward, there is what may be called another
story of state-rooms, or dormitoriss, with wide passages,
all well lighted by side-lights, ventillating hatchways, &c.,
and fitted up as handsomely as those above.
The subsidiary arrangements are on an equal scale of
costliness and efficiency. The ship is divided by iron
bulkheads into five compartments—giving her great safety
in case of accident—and there are large cisterns for water,
approved pumping apparatus, &c. &c. Coolness and ven-
tilation have been especially studied, and in every depart-
ment the marine superintendent of the vessel, Mr. Shaw,
who has had long practical experience, app3ars to have ex-
celled even his former efforts.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY.

The house resolved itself at an early hour into commit-
tee on the Arms (Ireland) Bill.
The ninth clause, which had been postponed on the
ground of ambiguous phraseology, was now brought for-
ward in en eltm-ed share.
Lord J. MISSELL, and other honourable members on
the opposition side, contended the total reconstruction
which had taken place in this clause proved that the bill
had been clumsily constructed, and fully justified the per-
severing opposition which had been hitherto given to its
progress.
Some discussion then took place on the clause, as
amended, and it was carried by a majority of 128 to 69.
The discussion of the next three clauses occupied the
remainder of the night, and after disposing of the other
orders of the day the house adjourned.

DISPENSARY AT BIRKENHEAD.

A letter from the Rev. A. Knox, including a resolution
of the committee of the Birkenhead Dispensary, was read.
The resolution was as follows :—" That the commissioners
be requested to say whether they would give or sell a piece
of land for the purpose of a dispensary and hospital, and
supply a portion of the stone for building the same."
The CHAIRMAN said that, considering the way in which
everything was improving, it was a shame there was no
place in which they could put their sick. He had been
told by the clergy, and many of the medical men were of
the same opinion, that many lives were lost in consequence
of the want of proper treatment.
Mr. PiM said he had lately had occasion to send two
men over to Liverpool, who had had their limbs broken.
Mr. BENTHAM said he would cheerfully unite in dedi-
cating a piece of land for such an object, and he hoped
that every Commissioner would feel that he had a duty far
beyond that, and not only open his own purse, but use his
utmost efforts to prosper the work. Referred to the Im-
provement Committee.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1843-07-11

GENERAL BUSINESS.

The arrangement to be made with Mr. Mallaby, as
clerk to the commissioners, was referred to the Finance
Committee, to consider and report at the next meeting.

The CHAIRMAN said he had received a communication
from the Corporation of Liverpool on the subject of the
Bridge-street road, and he was gratified to find that the
corporation had acceded to the wishes of the commis-
sioners, and allowed them to proceed at once with the
improvements there.
The CHAIRMAN said the Finance Committee were also
anxious to know for what the commissioners would under-
take to keep in repair the road from Canning-street to
Bidston-road. This was referred to the Road Committee.
An application from Mr. Scott, for the situation of
surveyor to the township, was deferred until the act of
parliament authorising such an appointment should come
into operation.

CAUTION TO FAMILIES

MANY SHOPKEEPERS of apparent respectability,
but destitute alike of honour and of talent, for the
sake of gaining a trifle more profit, basely attempt to
impose their pernicious compounds upon the public, as
the real MACASSAR OIL, for the Hair, and KALY-
DOR, for the Complexion ; they copy the bills and labels
of the original articles, substituting eihter a FICTITIOUS
NAME, or the word " GENUINE," in the place of
" ROWLAND'S."
To frustrate such imposition, it is necessary on pur-
chasing either article, to see that the word " ROW-
LAND'S" is on the wrapper, as follows—without which
none are genuine.
Under the Patronage of Her Majesty "The Queen,"
the Royal Family, and the several Courts of Europe,
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.

vents it from falling off or turning grey to the latest period
of life ; changes grey Hair to its original colour—frees it
from scurf, and makes it beautifully SOFT, CURLY, and
GLOSSY. In dressing Hair, it keeps it firm in the curl,
uninjured by damp weather, crowded rooms, the dance,
or in the exercise of riding. To Children it is invaluable,
as it lays a foundation for a BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR.
On purchasing, (beware of Counterfeits ! !) ask for
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and see that these words
are on the wrapper.
*** To insure the genuine article, see that the words
" Rowlaud's Macassar Oil" are engraved on the back of
the envelope nearly 1500 times, containing 29,028 letters
—WITHOUT THIS NONE ARE GENUINE.

Price 3s. 6d. ; 7s. ; Family Bottles, (equal to four small,)

cating all pimples, spots, redness, tan, freckles, and other
unsightly cutaneous defects, in reducing inflammation,
and in rendering the most rough and uneven skin, plea-
santly soft, and smooth. To the complexion, it imparts
a juvenile roseate hue, to the neck, hand, and arm, a
delicacy and fairness unrivalled.

Gentlemen will find it peculiarly grateful after shaving
in allaying the irritation of the skin.
Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per Bottle, duty included.

AT THE POLYTECHNIC EXHIBITION,
COLLEGIATE INSTITUT,ION.
MESSRS. MACLURE, MACDO ALD, and MAC-
GREGOR avail themselve o he Polytechnic Ex-
hibition at the Collegiate Institu to draw the attention
of the Public of Liverpool and urrounding towns to the
Art of LITHOGRAPHY, which, of late years, they have
so much improved in Glasgow and Liverpool, and which
has been found so eminently adapted for all the varied
purposes of Illustration, the production of PARLIA-
MENTARY and GENERAL PLANS, MAPS, and
CHARTS, MERCANTILE FORMS, &c. &c., nu-
merous specimens of which they submit for inspection
at the above Exhibition, and which best show their claims
to superiority over every House out of London, which is
proved by their already extensive and extending con-
nexion, by the numerous unsolicited compliments gene-
rally paid to them by the London and Provincial Press, as
Lithographers and General Artists, while reviewing their
elegantly-illustrated and illumined work, " QUEEN
VICTORIA IN SCOTLAND," as well as by other
works of a high quality.
They particularly solicit the attention of Engineers
Surveyors, Architects, and others, to the fact that their
Lithographic Machines for Mapping, &c. are the largest
made, and that they possess, within their Establishment
every facility and talent requisite for the speedy and
careful production of every variety of work, however
extensive, and are themselves all practical Lithographers.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 8

The weather since our last, though variable, has on the whole
been favourable, for the growing crops, which, particularly of
Spring Corn, must have been much benefitted by the rains which
appear to have fallen to a greater or less extent throughout the
kingdom. The trade during the week has been firm, and sales
of all articles have been made to a fair extent at prices gradu-
ally improving upon the rates of our last. At Liverpool and
Wakefield yesterday (particularly at the latter), the trade ex-
hibited much animation, and a large business was done, at an
advance of full as. ler quarter. Influenced by this, our market
this day has exhibited a more de idedly improved and confident
appearance than for some tin.. past. Very little Wheat is offer-
.

ing, and all qualities are saleable at an advance of 3d. per
bushel. Flour is Is. to 2s. per sack higher, but little is offering,
and there is a fair sale at the improvement. Oats Id. per bushel
and Meal 6d. per load dearer, with a good enquiry for choice
qualities. Malt fully Is. per load, and Beans Is. per quarter
higher. Peas, Barley, &c., rather dearer.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 4.
Rather more business in Cotton to-day. The sales ar
estimated at 2500 to 3000 bales, at yesterday's prices,
with a steadier tone and feeling in the market.

COTTON MARKET, Jr:Lit 15.
If we remark upon any change in the Cotton market, it
certainly is rather steadier, and better in tone than it has been of
late. Holders seem more disposed to shut up their stocks until a
greater demand is forthcoming, and in this way the buyers have
less choice. On Saturday 4000 bales were sold, and to-day
5000 bales at full market prices.

COTTON MARKET.--WEEKLY REPORT.
The demand from the Trade has improved, particularly during
the last few days, and holders of common American being less
pressing to sell, the market has exhibited more firmness, but no
change can be noticed in the quotations of any description.
Speculators have taken 750 American, and Exporters 650
American, 350 Pernambuco, 250 Surat and 100 Madras.

YESTERDAY

Another meeting was held yesterday. There were

field, J. Holt, W. Bathbone, W. Stewart, Jos. Heap,
Robt. Gill, Thomas Todd, R. C. Crosbie, Ed. Pilcber,

Geo. Holt, John Marriott, James Miller, and Robinson
Duckworth.

The CHAIRMAN (Mr. W. Brown), before entering upon
the business of the meeting, stated that a strong impres-
sion had arisen amongst the porters and others of tl
working classes, that what they (the associatior
e

avouring was adverse to flick interests, in which
they laboured under a very erroneous view, inasmuch as

SEA WALL

The CHAIRMAN said that the usual notice to the con-
servators of the river as to the erection of a sea wall had ex-
pired, and that it would now be proceeded with. As the
erection of a sea wall would cause a vast improvement to
the property of the Corporation of Liverpool, and would
prevent their property being washed away, he (the chair-
man) thought they ought to bear some portion of the ex-
pense. Yards of their land were daily washed away by
the water, and £l,OOO or £2,000 spent on the road would
improve their land very much.
. _

In reply to a question from Mr. J. N. Wood, the
CHAIRMAN added that the sea wall was to be only eight
yards wide on the old road which had existed for many
years. The Corporation would gain more yards of land
by the road being made than would pay the expense of
making three times over.
Referred to the Improvement Committee.
