An application from Nicol and Peers,for berths for their
vessels trading to Constantinople was refused.
A letter from Mr. Charles Mc. Iver, saying that the
refusal on the part of the Dock Committee, to allow lights
to be used on the quays of the docks, would impede pub-
lic business, and requesting an interview on the subject
was read, and referred to the committee of works.
A letter was read from Mr. Benjamin Smith, of Club-
moor, requesting the Dock Committee to convert the
sediment at the Sewers of the different dock basins into
money, by putting it into flats, conveying it to Bootle and
selling it there. There could, he said, be no better ma-
nure ; and he should wish a small share of the profits
(a laugh) in lieu of rendering pecuniary service.

Anson, of Buckingham Palace, enclosing two sets of
prints, one for Mr. Moore and the other for the Mayor,
of the Prihcess Royal, the Prince of Wales and the Prin-
cess Alice, as a small mark of gratitude for the kindness
shown Prince Albert on the occasion of his most inte-
resting visit to Liverpool, one which, and the many gra-

LIVERPOOL LICENSED VICTUALLERS'

SOCIETY

- .
This institution, which has for its objects the benevo-
lent purpose of providing for the widows and orphans of
deceaseo members, as well as the protection of the inte-
rest of the trade, celebrated its sixteenth anniversary on
Thursday evening. About 150 of the members of both
sexes, jolly bonifaces and buxom landladies, sat down to
an excellent dinner, which was served by Mr. Towers, of
the Angel Inn, in a temporary banquetting hall. erected
for the occasion in the rear of the institutionin St. Anne-
street. The dinner comprised every delicacy of the sea-
son ; and the wines and dessert were excellent.
The chair was occupied by William Lowe, Esq., and on
his right and left, at the principal table, were Peter Wright,
Esq., Clerk of the Peace, Mr. Garrett, Mr. Prescot, Mr.
Jos. C. Lowe, Mr. Frederick R. Lowe, Mr. G. B. Den-
ton, Mr. Christopher Hall, Mr. G. B. Hayes, Mr. P. B.
Drinkwater, Mr. E. J. Lowe, Mr. George Aikin, Mr.
James Sharp, Mr. John Bent, Mr, Hugh Bellen, Mr.
Roland Bent.

PUNCH IN LIVERPOOL.

The vice-chair was occupied by Thomas Bold, Esq.,
supported by Mr. Hall, Mr. John Lawrence, Mr. White-
legg, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Sandars, and Mr. Balmer.
Among the ladies present were Mrs. Pearson, Mrs.
Reyes, Mrs. Allinson, Mrs. Condliffe, Mrs. William
Peppit, Mrs. Solomon May, Mrs. Sumner, Mrs. James
Thompson (of Manchester), Mrs. Shilcock, Mrs. H.
Morris, Miss Gore, Mrs. Radcliffe, Mrs. Wildings, and
Mrs. John Owen.

The Royal Albert brass band, under the direction of
Mr. Philips, of Anson-street, was stationed at one end of
the dining-room, and during dinner, and at intervals in
the course of the evening, played many favourite and ap-
propriate airs. _ . _

- The following toasts were then given in succession by
the Chairman, prefaced by neat and appropriate speeches :
" The Queen, and long may she reign in the hearts of
her people." (Three times three.) Air—" God save the
Queen."

" The Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, Prince of Wales,
and the rest of the Royal Family." (Three times three.)
Air—" Hail, Star of Brunswick."

" The Army and Navy." (Three times three.) Air—
" Rule Britannia."
Mr. ROBERT BRYDEN replied.

The next toast was " The Chairman of the day," air—
" See the conquering hero comes," which was changed,
amidst loud applause, when the chairman rose to return
thanks, to " The fine old English Gentleman."

The CHAIRMAN, in a feeliiig manner, responded to the
toast, and wished health, happiness, and prosperity to
them all. He concluded by proposing the " Health of
the Vice-chairman—long life to him." (Three times
three.)

Mr. S. W. MAY, in an appropriate speech proposed the
health of Mr. Clarke, the Treasurer of the Society, and
the Trustees. (Three times three.)
Mr. CLARKE responded.
Mr. SUMNER proposed " The honorary members and
donors of the society." (Cheer s.)
Mr. JOHN BENT, in a most eloquent address, replied.
The CHAIRMAN then gave " Prosperity to the- Li-
censed Victuallers' Society of Liverpool." Drunk with
three times three, and much enthusiasm.)
Air, " Willie brew'd a peck o' maut."
Mr. HENRY NORRIS as an old member and as a trustee
of the institution, sincerely thanked them for the compli-
ment they had been pleased to pay to the society.
The VICE-CHAIRMAN proposed "The members for
the borough." (Drunk with three times three.) Air.—
" Hearts of Oak."

" The members for the county" was then gave with
much applause. Air—

The VICE-CliAlitMAN said, that with the permission
of the Chairman, he would give a toast, which was " The
Local Press." (Cheers.) With their able efforts—and
the press never took up any question unless it was for
the public good—the licensed victuallers need not fear
carrying out the objects they had in view.
The toast was drunk with three times three. Air by
band.

Mr. COOKE, reporter for the Mail, returned thanks in
a neat and appropriate speech. He concluding by re-
gretting the toast did not include the London press, as
the duty of responding to it would then have fallen on a
gentleman (Mr. Hibble, of the Morning Adverlizer)
whose whole life had been devoted to their service ; and
whose eloquent advocacy of their cause was deserving
the highest applause.

The VICE-CHAIRMAN said the Licensed Victuallers'
Society was a local one, and in giving the " Local Press"
be did that which seemed to him most appropriate. His
object was to forward the objects of the Society, and
drink the healths of those gentlemen who had advocated
its claims. (Bear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the correctness of the re-
marks which had proceeded from the vice-chainalan, but
he should be most happy if Mr. Hibble would favour
them with a few observations. He begged to propose his
health, in connexion with the London press.
Mr. S. W. MAY protested against drinking the healths
of particular individuals connected with the London press.
The CHAIRMAN said he was quite willing to give way,
but as it appeared to be the feeling of the meeting that
the toast should be given, it was announced, and drunk
with three times three.

LAUNCH OF A SPLENDID IRON " LINE-SHIP"
WITH AUXILIARY POWER.

On Tuesday last was launched, from the building-yard
of Messrs. James Hodgson and Co., south end of Bruns-
wick Dock, a large and beautiful iron ship "The Sarah
Sands,"—named atter the lady of Thomas Sands, Esq.,
one of the owners, intended to run as a regular" liner," be-
tween this port and New York, and with a steam-worked
screw propeller as an auxiliary to her sails. The day was
fine,, and the concourse of spectators was very great and
of high respectability, including many of the." merchant
princes of our town and their fair wives, daughters, and
relatives. There were various stages and stands erected
for their accommodation around the ship, so as to afford
a good view of the launch.

Mr. HIBBLE said he was extremely sorry at the re-
marks which had fallen from Mr. May, as he had come
down from London at the wish of the editor of a paper
which produced £9,000 a-year for the purposes of cha-
rity, to pay that attention to the benevolent institution
of Liverpool which it deserved. He was glad to say that
-Mr. May was the only chairman in England who would
have made such an objection ; and as he considered it
must have arisen from some personal feeling, he would
throw it to the winds. (Applause.) If a man must have
his own way, he should be content with that, and allow
others to have theirs. (Applause and a laugh.) He
trusted the Liverpool Society would, however, go on and
prosper ; its results would be of the most beneficial de-
scription; and it would tend to place the body in its true
position in society. He wi,s happy to see so respectable
a gentleman in that chair ; and be was still more happy
to say that their claims to respectability were daily be-
coming more generally acknowledged. (Applause.) It
was but lately that in the metropolis 2000 of the Licensed
Victuallers sat down to dinner, with the Lord Mayor at
their head, and their society was in the most flourishing
condition. It had been 111 and truly said, by one of
the speakers, that the people of England were mistaken
as to what the term Licensed Victualler meant • and they
were subject to all sorts of caprice and bad feeling from
the authorities and others. Let those who looked upon
them with contempt come to their domestic hearths, and
see how they brought up their families ; let them look at
their liberality, and view their magnificent institutions.
They might beast of their Goldsmiths' Company, and
their Mercers' Company, but he could tell them that the
Licensed Victuallers of the metropolis had the largest
and best charitable institutions. (Applause.) They
were a united body in London, and he trusted soon to
see them equally united in Liverpool. (Cheers.) He
concluded by observing that they would best consult their

The ship is of very fine model, built from drawings by
our talented townsman, I.Zr. John Grantham, and appears
as if she would turn out "a regular clipper."

She is clencher-built, and double-rivetted throughout,
the strongest system in iron ship-building. When loaded,
she will draw about 18 feet of water, and, though of beau-
tiful fOrm, will carry, in addition to her required fuel,
about 1000 tons of goods. 'Her after-cabins will comfor-
tably accommodate 60 passengers, and there is ample
room for second and third class voyagers.
The screw will be turned by a double condensing en-
gine, of 200 horse-power, working directly upon the
shaft, on the principle patented by Mr. Grantham. The
diameter of the screw is 14 feet, and is on the principle
patented by Mr. Woodcroft, of Manchester. The en-
gines and builers are all some feet below the load water
line, and, in place of causing top-heaviness, will serve as
ballast.

The launch was beautiful. The vessel, on being re-
leased by the daggers being struck down, glided beauti-
fully down the waves; but, as if impatient of her pro-
longed restraint, before her whole, bulk reached the
water, she kicked out the fore part of her cradle, as if
she fancied she would have rocking enough on the ocean
hereafter. She scraped the top of the river wall with her
fore foot, but-so slightly, that no damage resulted. The
cheers, on her floating off and darting towards the Che-
shire side, were loud and enthusiastic. Her name was
given by Miss Sands, the accomplished daughter of the
principal owner, and the young lady performed the cere-
mony in the most spirited manner. We noticed present,
on the platform near Mr. Sands, Dr. Tattershall, Messrs.
James Tyrer, W. Jevons, Joshua Edwards, W. Drury,
Kerr, Mould, Foster, Moulds, Prestman, and many
others of our mercantile townsmen, whom we could not
distinguish in the crowd.

Mr. W. WRIGHT responded. He assured the company
that so far as his humble efforts went, as well as those of
his friends, they would be glad to aid the Licensed Vic:_
tuallers in all their benevolent efforts.

Mr. MELLORPrO;O;ed " The Chairman, Committee,
and Secretary." (Three times three.) Air—" Life's a
bumper."

Mr. S. W. MAY, the Chairman, acknowledged the
toast for himself and the committee; and
Mr. THOMAS ROWLANDSON entered into the position
of the society, showing its usefulness and its flourishing
condition. Mr. Lowe, their chairman. bad handed him
a donation of £lO towards the benevolent objects of the
society, and the other, Mr. Bold, the vice-chairman, had
stated his willingness to contribute £5 as a donation
towards the same object. Mr. R. resumed his seat amidst
loud cheering. .

Immediately after the launch, which took place at
about half• past one o'clock, the invited company, to the
number of upwards of 400 ladies and gentlemen, sat down
to a substantial and superb di:if-liner provided by Mr.
Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, in the spacious mould
room of Mr. Hodgson's establishment, which was taste-
fully decorated for the occasion, Mr. Sands occupying the
chair. After the repast, the usual loyal toasts were given,
and the chairman proposed the health of our worthy dio-
cesan, the Bishop of Chester, which was responded to by
the Bev. Dr. Tattershall, who proposed the health of Mr.
Sands. The healths of the President of the United
States, success to the new ship, the healths of Captain
Thompson, her commander, Mr. Grantham, the archi-
tect, Messrs., Hodgson, her builders, &c., were subse-
quently given ; and, after a delightful entertainment, the
company broke up.
We understand the firm of J. Hodgson and Co. built

and the East. They are also the builders of the first iron

The health of the honorary surgeon was then proposed
by the Chairman, and drunk with three times three.
The CHAIRMAN then read the following list of dona-
tions. As each item was read over, three cheers were
given for the donors :—Mr. Hindley £5 ; Mr. John Bent,
£10; Mr. James Bent, £5; Mr. Rowland Bent, £5.
Mr. Garrett, £5 ; Mr. Peppit!, £1 Is. ; Mr. P. Wright;
£1 Is. ; the Messrs. Mellor, £lO.
The following toasts were then given :
" The Stewards" (Mr. Parkinson responded) ; " The
Lancashire Witches" (Mr. Bryden, as "the Widows
pet," claimed the right of reply, amid loud laughter) •
and " Mr. and Mrs. Towers (Mr.*Towers responded;

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.-MONDAY

The usual weekly meeting of the members of this body
was held to-day. The chair was taken by Councellor
Fitzpatrick.

Mr. O'Connell moved for the suspension of the stand-
ing order, to refer it to the committee to prepare a pe-
tition to Parliament, praying that the Arms Bill should
not be renewed. (Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) had
reason to think that the meaning of the new bill was not
understood in Ireland, and he therefore thought that they
should be prepared to meet it, and protest against its re-
enactment. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. O'Dovvd (barrister) seconded the motion, which
was carried.
Mr. O'Connell handed in £1 from Mr. Constantine
Smith, who said he had hitherto refrained from joining
the association by reason of the conduct of the "
Young
Irelanders." He had now a pleasing duty to perform—he
had to read a most gratifying letter. Here it was—

" MY DEAR SlR,—Although you affirm that a public
letter does not always carry conviction, I am sure you
will not be sorry to learn that your letter to me has done
so. Last Monday's proceedings at Conciliation Hall
have convinced me that the principle of moral force has
been finally adopted by the association, and I, therefore,
no longer hesitate in enrolling myself a member. En-
closed is a five pound note for my first years subscription;
and dear Sir, faithfully ydurs,

** Daniel O'Connell, Esq., .P. CECIL LAWLESS."
He (Mr. O'Connell) had the honour to move that the
Honourable Cecil Lawless be enrolled a member of the
Repeal Association. (Lcud Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Con-
nell availed himself of the opportunity to express his
heartfelt delight that the son of Lord Cloncurry, who had
himself suffered imprisonment for Ireland, and who had
ever been the faithful friend of the people—it was truly
delightful to find that the son of such a man had joined
the ranks of OM Ireland. (Cheers.)
The rent for the week was upwards of £3OO.

MARRIAGE OF LORD MAIDSTONE.—Tbe Morning
Post concludes its account of this ceremony with the
following :—" Among the on dill current in fashionable
circles relative to the above marriage, is one which, if
true, affords a gratifying proof that even in these days of
matter of fact and cold calculation the spirit of gallantry
and chivalry,, for which their forefathers were erewhile so
celebrated, is not yet extinct among the youthful scions
of our nobility. It is said that some time before Lord
Maidstone solicited the hand of his now lovely bride (and,
filing a date at once, we may say immediately before the
last Derby race), his lordship offered to present the Lady
Constance with his celebrated horse Tom Tulloch, from
which it will be remembered so much was expected, pro-
vided her ladyship would accept it. The Lady Constance
consented to a

cept ' the horse,' whereupon the noble
viscount demanded of his fair beloved whether she would
also be content to take ' the master ?' To this arrange-

as the noble lover had small difficulty in removir.,,
hence the interesting event the record of which we thus
bring to a close."
