We must repeat that our only reason for recur-
ing to this subject, and, as it may seem, question-
ing the accuracy of the principle upon which the
statement above furnished has been drawn up, is to
elicit some explanation which shall be satisfactory
to the public. For ourselves, we shall be most
happy to be convinced, if we have been starting

.maginary objections

We understand that the Lord Bishop of Chester will
consecrate St. Paul's Church, Prince's Park, on Thursday,
the 2d March.

EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a meet-
ing of the board, held on the 4th instant, Mr. David
Rowland, jun., third officer of the Britannia, royal mail
steam-ship, was found duly qualified for a first-class mate's
certificate; and Captain Thomas Hawkins, late master of
the Penang, of Liverpool, was found duly qualified to re-
ceive a first-class extra master's certificate.

LONDON PROVISION WAREHOUSE.—The advertisement
of Hamilton and Co., who have opened a provision ware-
house in Elliot-street, in the London style, appears in our
first page. The superiority of the Wiltshire ham and
bacon, and other southern cured provisions, is acknow-
ledged, and the means of obtaining them retail will be ad-
vantageous to the public.

THE LATE FIRE IN UNION-COURT.—The following
gratifying letter, which sufficiently explains itself, has been
received by the parties to whom it is addressed :

" Liverpool, 11th January, 1848.
" GENTLEMEN,—We are desirous of conveying to you our
bEst thanks, for the assistance afforded by you, and the men
under your charge, on the occasion of the late fire in Union-
court, and for the order which you then ably maintained,
thereby enabling the fire police the more efficiently to perform
their duty.—We are, Gentlemen, your obedient servants,
" GLADSTONE and CO.
" To Messrs. Quick, Brown, Redin, Anders, Clough, Super-
intendents ; Messrs. Bibby, Chew, Rimmer, Inspectors
Borough Police."

IRISH BEGGARS.—Yesterday, no fewer than 15 to 20
natives of Ireland, of both sexes and of all ages, were
brought before Mr. Rushton, being found begging in the
streets. Mr. Gray attended for the parish. Most of them
refused to be passed to Ireland, where there is now a
poor-law provision for them, and were committed for a
month, or, in some cases, a minor time to gaol. A few,
who were real objects of parochial care, from long resi-
dence, illness, or other causes, it was agreed should be re-

ceived into the Workhouse. 'Some of the cases were re-
ally pitiable and affecting ; and Mr. Rushton affectionately
recommended them to Mr. Gray, but he expressed his
determination to put down the systematic pursuit of street
begging.

LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.— The upper
school of the institution resumed its duties on Tuesday
last, on which day we were much delighted by the nume-
rous attendance at morning prayer in the lecture-hall of
the college. The service was conducted by the Rev. W.
J. Conybeare, the principal who, in point of health,
has evidently derived much benefit from the Christmas recess
and its accompanying cessation from duty. The part of
the service chanted was done in a steady and reverential
manner, one of the pupils presiding at the organ. It
may not be generally known that the public have free
admission to the lower gallery during daily morning
prayer at nine o'clock. Upon enquiry at the secretary's
office, we were informed that each of the three schools
has an increase of numbers this half-year; a gratifying
proof that the advantages of this valuable institution are
deservedly appreciated.
.....A0III!ERY FROM AN OFFICE.—A young man, named

Richard Chadwick, was yesterday charged, before Mr.
Rushton, with having (with others not in custody) got
into the warehouse of Mr. Adams, early on Friday morn-
ing, or late on Thursday, and robbing the counting-house
of from £25 to £2B. It appeared that the parties had
got within the premises, and secreted themselves. Some
noise was heard, but no one could be found, and the par-
ties. no doubt to their own wish, were locked in. They
had escaped by the jigger loft. Five drawers were found
to have been forced. The prisoner had been employed
on the premises, and was a regular hand at the employ at
the time. It was proved that he had, after the robbery,
deposited money for safety with persons in different parts
of the town, in large amounts for a man in his circum-
stances. As further evidence was expected, on inquiries
being made, the prisoner was remanded.

ELECTION FOR SCOTLAND WARD.—Yesterday was the
day fixed for the election of a gentleman to serve in the
Council to the Ist of November next, in the room of the
late Mr. Thornhill. The candidates were Messrs.
Henderson (brother to the member for St. Peter's Ward),
and Mr. Thomson, of Benson-street. Owing to the
growing desire in the town that " tradesmen" should
become the representatives of the burgesses, may in a
great degree be traced the defeat which Mr. Arthur Hen-
derson has. on this occasion, experienced. For several
hours after the polling commenced, the contest was both
sharp and animated; the respective aspirants for corporate
honours being within a few votes of each other, but
towards the close of the day it became evident that the
reform candidate--Mr. James Thomson—would be re-
turned ; as the sequel proved, he being elected by a

G OF PUBLIC HOUSES ON SUNDAY.—A public
meeting was held last night, in the Wesleyan School-
room, Jordan-street, for the purpose of adopting a peti-
tion to Parliament, for closing public houses on the
Lord's Day. The Rev.W. Elton, of Altrincham, A. Dun-
lop, Esq., and other gentlemen addressed the meeting. The
Rev. P. M'Owan occupied the chair. The petition prayed
that public houses might be closed from eleven on Satur-
day night until six on Monday morning. The prayer of
the petition was grounded on the facts, that the sale of
liquors on the Lord's Day exercises an injurious influence
on the morals of the nation ; that several persons in the
trade have desired to be relieved from business on that
day ; that the servants employed in the traffic are deprived
of the blessings of the Sabbath, whilst no class needs
more its sanctifying influences; that the places for the
sale of liquors on Sunday prepare a resort for the idle and
worthless, who are allured thereby to crime, and that
they form one great reason why working men are generally
unable to provide education .for their children, who are
not sent to the Sunday-school, but are taught evil and
injurious habits.

CLOsns

It is most earnestly to be desired that a revival of in-
dustry should visit the manufacturing community ; but we
fear much that no very early prospect of such revival is
before them. The complete disorganization of our colo-
nial trade, and especially of the East Indian trade, must
take time to pass away ; and, in the meantime, those
countries. for whose trade we have bid so largely in our
recent commercial policy, must exhibit a greater inclina-
tion for reciprocity in sacrifice than we have hitherto wit-
nessed in their conduct towards us. Moreover, we must
be released, by a remodification of our currency system,
from the constant liability to which we are now subjected,
of seeing the fruits of the best directed enterprise swept
away by monetary panics, which no one can foresee or
provislo themselves against when they come, before pru-
dent men will enter upon operations in which their means
will he removed very far from their ready grasp. A gradual
improvement is all that we can at present look for.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
(BY EXPRESS.)

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.—No bulletin was is-
sued yesterday, but his Grace passed a quiet night on Sunday.

LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY

Our market was but moderately supplied with Wheat this
morning, by land carriage samples from the near counties, and
the condition of a large portion of the supply was very indif-
ferent. Although prices are not generally quoted lower, the
trade was without animation, with a tendency downwards.
Very few transactions took place in foreign Wheat, but previous
rates were about maintained. There was an increased quan-
tity of Barley on sale this morning, the inquiry for the article
was far from brisk and much of the supply remained unsold,
though offered at a reduction of Is. per qr. In addition to the
arrivals of Oats noted, several vessels have since come to hand
from Ireland and our own coast, making a good show of sam-
ples, but little progress could be made in sales, at a decline of
fully 6d. per qr. upon last Monday's quotations. Beans were
Is., and white Peas 2s. cheaper. Grey and Maple Peas sup-
ported last week's prices.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The supply of Beasts was large, and of tolerably good qua-
lity. The weather being very mild, trade was exceedingly slow.
with no improvement on Friday's quotations. The number of
Sheep was unusually small; the demand was also very limited.
Some of the choicest Downs were readily sold at rather more
money ; but other kinds cannot be quoted dearer. English
Calves were very.scarce, but it was difficult to obtain any ad-
vance. Trade was dull for Pigs, owing to the mild weather;
but, the supply being short, prices were not much lower.

MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
The French rentes come rather lower from Paris. The fact,
however, in the absence of any particular event which should
influence prices, has produced no effect on the funds here,
which are in a dull and passive state, dealers and speculators
evidently waiting the promised demonstration of the financial
situation which the Prime Minister has undertaken to afford
shortly. We have Consols now at 89} to for money and
time, which are a fraction lower for the account than the
opening quotations. The transactions are upon the smallest
scale. Reduced Threes we quote 89i to March Exchequer
Bills, 255. to 30s. premium ; the June 28s. to 30s.

PRODUCE.—MINCING-LANE.—The refined Sugar market
has opened heavily to-day, and prices are with difficulty sup-
ported.—Cotton is very firm, and wears an improved appear-
ance. The speculative demand for native good ordinary Cey-
lon, which existed the last two days at 335. 6d., has caused
holders of this description to be very firm ; and there appear
to be but few sellers.

COUNTY COURT OF CHESHIRE,

Holden at lirkerthead Insolvency Court, befoi:e J. W

HARDEN,

This court was held on Saturday last, when seven peti-
tioners for protection came up for their first hearing.
They were Richard Hale, John Robinson, James Thomp-
son, John Shakeshaft, senior, John Parr, William Thomas,
and John Griffiths. In re Hale, Mr. Hilliar applied for
an adjournment, for the purpose of enabling Use petitioner
to amend his schedule.

His honour granted the application, and renewed the
protection until the ith March. His honour also renewed
the protections in all the other cases until the 7th March.
which day be fixed for granting the final orders, unlesS
cause be shown to the contrary.

Re Kent. In the matter of this petition, Mr. Greene,
the insolvent's attorney, applied to his honour to fix a
day for the final hearing. He stated that since the first
hearing the insolvent had satisfied creditors to the amouttt
of £3OO, including two who had obtained judgment
against him in the Birkenhead County Court. His honour
granted the application, and named the 7th March.
Attorneys in court. Mr. Dunstan, Mr. Millar, Mr.
Greene, and Messrs. Reade and Searle.

The Rev. A. Boyd, incumbent of Christ Church, Chel-
tenham, will, it is said, be presented to the rectory of
Coleraine.

On Thursday a man, stationed in Rose-hill, was obtain-
ing the signatures of boys of any and all ages, if they
could write at all, to a petition in favour of the admission
of Jews into parliament. So much for the expression of
public opinion."
T. BARNABAS SCHOOLS.-011 Sunday last two ser-
mons were preached in St. Barnabas church, by the Rev.
T. Nolan, after which collections were made towards
liquidating the debt yet standing against the schools,
when the sum of £35 was contributed. We have been
much gratified by
learning that the congregation of St.
Barnabas have generously subscribed the whole amount
(X 3000) required for the erection of their schools, and
that nearly 700 children are receiving there a useful and
scriptural education. The portion of the debt still
remaining consists of an amount required for the fittings
up and other articles which could not be calculated on at
the time, and which was originally £2OO, but has since
been reduced. We are glad to find that (as may be seen
by an advertisement) W. M, Fisher, Esq. has consented
to deliver a popular lecture on the 3rd March, on astro-
nomy ; the proceeds of which will be devoted to the (we
hope) complete liquidation of the remaining debt. The
lecture will be illustrated by splendid diagrams, and a
series of dissolving views of scriptural subjects will be
introduced for the first time. We sincerely hope that
this effort will be abundantly successful, for the schools
have conferred the very greatest benefits on the crowded
district in which they are placed, and the never-ceasing
and affectionate exertions of Mr. Nolan deserve to be
rewarded by the entire removal of the balance of debt.

This action was brought for an alleged breach of contract.
The damages were laid at .20. The defendant had paid £4los.
into court, the amount admitted to be due to the plaintiff.
The plaintiff was a young man who, on the 30th of September
last entered into the service of the defendant, a grocer, in Great
Honier-street, at a salary of .t'3o per annum, with board and
lodgings. On the 12th of November, the plaintiff gave the de-
fendant notice to leave in a month, and on the 22d of Novem-
ber the plaintiff left his master's service for three hours,
having previously received, as was averred, the defendant's
permission. The morning afterwards the defendant, in the
presence of a police-officer, tendered him his wages up to that
date, and requested him at once to leave his service. The
plaintiff refused the tender, stating that he was willing tore-
main in defendant's service until the expiration of the notice,
on which the defendant stated that if he did not leave he would
compel him to do so, and the plaintiff then left flub premises.
Two master grocers were placed in the box, who stated that a
month's notice_ on either_side was the custom of the tnde.

NIr.'Bi.AIR, for the defence, contended that the plaintiff,
, without permission, absented himself from the defendant's
service on the 22nd November, and that, in consequence, he
was at liberty at once to discharge him.

The jury found a verdict for the defendant

HUBERT V. WELLS

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a teacher of
French, to recover the sum of £22 14s. 6d. from the defendant,
a schoolmaster, at Bootle. Verdict for the plaintiff.

THE NEW GAS BILL

The surveying officers appointed by her Majesty's Woods,
Forests, and Landßevenues (G. B. Walley, Esq., barrister, and
Samuel Clegg, Esq., civil engineer), to make preliminary en-
quiries with reference to the bill now before the House of
Commons, having for its object the amalgamation of the two,
gas companies, attended yesterday in the parish-office, Fen-
wsck-strfet.
Mr. Carson and Mr. J. B. Lloyd, solicitors, appeared as pro-
moters cf the bill. The Town-Clerk appeared to watch the
proceedings on behalf of the Town Council of the borough.
Mr. Reay appeared on behalf of the gas consumers of Liverpool,
as a consumer himself, and also on the part of the Liverpool
Guardian Society for the protection of trade.
Mr. CARSON then read a statement of the objects of the bill.
A long discussion then took place as to the mode of pro-
ceeding; after which,
Mr. CARSON proceeded to open the case on behalf of the
promoters. He entered into a concise and luminous history of
the progress of the companies, the nature of the opposition
they had met with, and the reasons which had induced the two
companies to seek the present amalgamation—a suggestion
wiqich had emanated from theTown-Council—indeed, he might
add that it was in accordance with their request; for they were
of opinion that the effect of one company only having mains in
the streets would enable the Corporation to effect a more com-
plete system of sewerage, which was much required on sanatory
grounds, and also prevent the too frequent breaking up of the
streets. He added, that in addition to the advantages to be
derived to the public, the proposed system would have the effect
of placing gas property on a more secure foundation, as it was
only reasonable to suppose that the Town-Council would stre-
nuously oppose the establishment of a third company.
After a short address from Mr. Lloyd,
The Engineering Barrister proceeded to propound the first
requirement : .

"A block- plan, on a scale of not less than thirty inches
to the mile, showing the site of the gas works, the mains and
branch pipes, the position of each public lamp or burner, the
oil lamps distinguished by the letter 0, and the gas lights by
the letter G."
Mr. Carson, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. King, and the Town.clerk, all
replied that there was no such plan in existence; and Mr.
Carson said such a plan would cost several thousand pounds,
and would take at least twelve months to.make it.
In answer to ieveral of the other requirements, Mr. Carson

COTTON MARKET

-Y ESTERDAY

We really regret to have occasion to report agradually ad-
vancing cotton market, knowing, as we well do, that the posi-
tion of the trade is such that it cannot be responded to in the
manufacturing districts. Low and ordinary American is selling
at 4id.—which is id. per lb. higher than it was six weeks since.
Sales to-day 6,000 bales—all trade. Amongst a fleet of foreign
arrivals, yesterday and to-day, We have only three vessels cot-
ton laden. The stock is now in few hands—the bulk of it held
for much higher rates than those now current. Consumers
would do well to stock for a few weeks.

James Ryan, aged 36, who lived near Mr. Muspratt's works,
was found drowned in the canal, on Saturday. He had been
drinking freely on the day it is supposed he fell into the water.
Yesterday, the Assessor in the Court of Passage, in directing
the jury in a case which involved the alleged conversion of a
winch worth only a few shillings, made some strong remarks
as to the impropriety of occupying the court with such a tri-
fling dispute. Such a case, lie said, should be taken to the
County Court, and some compulsory provision with that view
should be adopted by the legislature.
DEATH IN THE NEW RAILWAY TUNNE L.—Yesterday morn-
ing, George Allsop, aged 40, and another man (a miner), were
working in the new tunnel for the North Western Railway, in
Pembroke-street. The former was engaged in drilling a hole
in a. piece of stone, to prepare it for blasting, when his come-
pamon observed the rock giving way, and called to him to,g

of goods; and a remainder of £37,200 for passengers and
goods together, not respectively apportioned; being ea
increase of £15,049 over the corresponding week of the

they were £49.
