The Board have authorized me to say they decline ro or
ing from the price of 425. per yard for 40,000 to
60,000 yards of Land and Strand adjoining the 1)."„.
Estate, and this you will consider as their resolution.
There is not any anxiety on the part of the Directorsd;;
part with the whole estate, but, as your note of ye3ter te,
requests their decided views as to it, lam desired to sta,..
that if the Dock Trust open any negotiation with you I"
the whole estate, the price will be 40. t. per yard.

As it would appear from your note that Mr. —an t-
not authorized to buy the whole, it seems likely the ivaouo
ter may remain for negotiation some time. You slither
endeavour to press decision as far as consistent, asi%ce,
parties are urgent to know our views for the bag-000

detriment to the general value of the Estate, be

THE

ASSIZES

OPENING OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION

Mr. Justice Tiglitman left London on Friday, slept at
Birmingham that night, and arrived in Liverpool by the
train at four o'clock p.m. on Saturday. Immediately
after he repaired to the Judge's lodgings, in St. Anne-
street, where he was met by Wm. Garnett, Esq., the
High-sheriff of the county. From the lodgings, after
having robed himself, he proceeded to Court in the High-
sheriff's carriage. He entered the Nisi Prius Court at
five minutes to five o'clock, accompanied by the Sheriff,
the Mayor, and the Town-clerk.
Mr. Shuttleworth, the Clerk of the Crown, read the

commission, after which the precept for summoning the
Grand Jury was handed by the High-sheriff to the Judge,
and by the Judge to the Clerk.
The Court was then adjourned to eleven o'clock on
Monday (yesterday) morning. The calendar contains the
names of ninety-four prisoners, six of whom are charged
with murder; nine with offences against the mint; and
seventy-nine with burglaries, felonies, and other offences

manner, and twenty-six can neither read nor write.
On Sunday morning Mr. Justice Wightman attended
divine service at St. George's Church, at eleven o'clock,
upon which occasion the Rev. Mr. Parkinson, the high-
sheriff's chaplain, preached an excellent and appropriate
pl,n, from the 14th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles
and the 17th verse :—" He left not himself without wit-
ness." The rev. gentleman, having shown in the outset
that God had, in all ages of the world, caused the su-
premacy of His divine character to be recognised and

acknowledged in some way or other amongst men, pro-
ceeded to descant upon the privileges and duties of all the
inhabitants of this country. He concluded his discourse
by earnestly entreating of employers, as well as of em-
ployed, each in his respective sphere, from the monarch
down to the meanest subject, to acquit themselves of the
. .

responsibilities under which they labour, and to be vigi-
lant in promoting that universal spread of Christian

The anthem on the occasion was taken from the 150th

official authority were present. Immediately after the

Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN took his seat on the bench
precisely at Eleven o'clock. yesterday morning; when,
. . „ ~ _

atter the usual tormalities of caning over toe roil, ecx.
had been gone through, the following gentlemen were

sworn of

THE GRAND JURY.
The Hon. Richard Bootle Wilbraham, M.P., Foreman

James Aspinall, Esq., Liverpool.
Thomas Brockhurst Barclay, Esq., Wavertree.

James Simpson, Esq., Foxhill Bank.
Charles Tavleure, Esq., Parkfield.

John Abram Tinne, Esq., Aigburth, and
Humphrey de Trafford, Esq., Trafford Park.
The Clerk of the Crown having then read her Majesty's
proclamation against vice, profaneness, and immorality,
His LORDSHIP proceeded to address the Grand Jury in
nearly the following terms. He said :—Gentlemen of the
Grand Jury, it having been found that in some parts of the
country the number of prisoners committed to gaol in the
interval between the summer and the spring assizes was
so great that it was expedient it should be reduced by an
earlier gaol delivery than has usually taken place, her
Majesty has been pleased to cause commissions to issue for
the delivery of such gaols in which the evils appear most
particularly to predominate, and, amongst others, for the
delivery of such prisoners here as would otherwise have
remained in gaol at Kirkdale until next assizes. 'What-
ever may be the case in other counties, the present state
of the gaol in this county is such as fully to warrant this

special administration of justice. I have already stated to
you that the commission does not extend to the trial of
prisoners who would be tried at the sessions, hut is limited
to those for trial at the assizes, and who, but for this com-
mission, would remain in gaol to take their trials at the
ensuing spring. The period, gentlemen, which has elapsed
since the last summer a

s is little more than three
..ionths, and it comprises a period of the year when there
is comparatively less distress arming the poor than at any
other time; and yet the calendar contains the names of
upwards of 100 prisoners, including those added since the
list was printed, and. I understand, there are others, mak-
ing the whole 106 to 107, and probably even this number
will be further increased before your labours shall have
terminated. This is undoubtedly a startling natalogne; I
and who were have further to regret that the character of the offences
I
I charged is, for the_ most part, ieither • slight nor_ trivial.

offences which had previously been cognizable, and fre

secondly, by the institution of a more effective system of
police, by means of which many offenders are detected
who would otherwise escape undiscovered. T.
no doubt, to some extent, make the increase of crime,
indicated by the calendar, more apparent than real. But
there is too much reasoi.l.to fear that there is an actual
increase of crime, requiring the earnest attention of all
those who, from rank, fortune, power, and ability, are
most deeply interested in improving and ameliorating the
condition of the lower classes.

men, to detain you by entering in detail into the conside-
