TUK MEXICAN WAR, &r.

The packet-ship Joshua Bates, which arrived here on Satur-
day, brings accounts from New York to the 21st, and from
Boston to the 22d ult. inclusive, The Caledonia steam-ship
arrived at Boston on the 20th ult. The advices she took had
advanced the price of flour 50 to 75 cents. The siege of Montery
(Mexico) having been completed, affairs had there become qui-
eter. It is now said that the loss of life was greater during the
siege than before stated. Quiet advances were being made into

thf;lnterior by the several columns of invasion. Dysentery
bad broken out amongst the American forces. These accounts
notice no naval operations, either in the Gulf of Mexico or in
the Pacific. According to an address of the Dictator, the war

States electioneering affairs attracted growing attention. Snow
had fallen at Buffalo and Utica, and ice been formed at Phila-
delphia a quarter of an inch thick.
'1 he intelligence received at Boston of the safety of the Great
Britain's passengers had created much satisfaction. Previ-
ously to the receipt of the intelligence an insurance of twenty-
five yer cent, upon property on board the steamer was refused
in New York. _

The gale of the 12th ultimo had been experienced with great
severity along the whole coast. A Government steamer, with
a large number of persons on board, was believed to have been
lost in the Gulf, between the Rio del Norte and New Orleans.

SHORT TimE.—Free trade is working smartly in the manu-
facturing districts. At Rochdale, the principal mills (including

Mr. Bright's) are working four days a week. At Bury, the same.
THE LONDON GAZETTE.—On Saturday a London Gazette
was issued, for the purpose of giving publicity to a large batch
of parliamentary notices. It would appear that the next ses-
sion will be pretty nearly as productive of private business of
various kinds as the last. _ _ _ • _ _

On Saturday, the Court of Queen's Bench, at Dublin, granted
a rule nisi for a criminal information against F. D. Finlay, Esq.,
proprietor of the Belfast Northern Whiq, for a libel, charging
Joseph Napier, Esq., (Queen's Council,) with partial and im-
proper conduct as assessor.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COLLECTING
On Saturday, a respectably-dressed young man, named Whittle
was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having em•

Mr. Alexander Sleigh. It appeared thai the prisoner was
ployed to collect the rents of cotton warehouses, and no sus-

Clay,) when one of the clerks informed witness that he thought
prisoner was spending more money in various ways, including
betting, than the amount of his Salary would justify. Inquiry
was made of several of the tenants of the warehouses, and it
was found that he had received rents in two instances, and had
not accounted for them. When charged with the fact, prisoner
said he was very sorry for it, that bad company had led him into
it, and that he had received other sums besides those stated for
which he had not accounted. One case was gone into, by which it
appeared that the prisoner had received 7, which he had not
paid over or entered in the books. It appeared that he had re-
ceived a high character from his former employers, Messrs.
Paten and Roberts, cotton-brokers, which he deserved at the
time. Mr. Rushton said that it would be necesary to put only
two or three ,of the most recent cases into the indictment;
upon those he should send the prisoner for trial, and he mean-
time remanded him until Monday.—Yesterday, the prisoner,
who said nothing in his defence, was accordingly brought up,
when it was stated that Mr. Sleigh declined to come forward to
prosecute, as he believed the prisoner had been led away by bad
company, and that as his family were highly respectable, the
exposure so far would be a lesson to him. Mr. Rushton had
'on
and that
therefore no resource but to discharge the prisoner.
CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT FROM A LOAN SOCIETY.--On
Saturday a man, named Joseph Dixon, was brought before Mr.
Rushton, on a charge of having embezzled various sums of
money belonging to the British Queen Loan Society. it ap.

the re-
payment of a loan granted to her of ..5, and that he had not
paid over this sum to the society, so that the woman still re-
mained indebted on the books. It came out, however, that he
had received the 55., in two sums of 2s. and 35., at different
times ; ihat'he said to the woman that it was not his part to re-
ceive it: Mit he would take it and pay it over onthe following

Tuesday. ' Fe also acknowledged to several of the officers of
the society that he had received it, and that they were cognizant
of, and had not for some time objected to, his receiving pay-
ments; some of which he had paid in,. but not this amount.
The prisoner was himself a shareholder in the society,. Another
female, living at Aintree, had received a loan of .tl, and had
sent the amount back in small sums, to be handed to prisoner
by a friend in the town, but out of .el 145. thus paid to him, he
had accounted only for Ms. On one occasion he had received
..f6 from the treasurer (a female), which, he said, was for the
committee on stairs. but which he retained as a loan for him-

self; but the signatures to the bond had not been written in
presence of any of the officers; and upon it was the name of a
man called Jones, who, the prisoner had said at the time, had
no existence. There was, therefore, no direct proof of embez-
zlement. One of the officers admitted that he had sent a mes-
sage to prisoner, on finding out his deficiencies, to the effect
that he had better pay up, or get out of the way,.for the sake of
his family. The books and accounts of the society were kept,
it appeared, in a very careless and imperfect manner, and as
none of the cases brought forward involved sufficient evidence
of embezzlement, the prisoner was riher remanded.

MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL-ELEC-

TION OF MAYOR

The first meeting of the Town Council, as re-consti-
tuted by the late elections, took place yesterday at twelve
o'clock. There was a full attendance of members, almost
all being present at the commencement of the proceedings.
The retiring Mayor, Mr. D. HoncsoN, having taken the
chair, and announced that the first duty of the Council
was to elect his successor,

Sir THOMAS BRANCKER immediately rose and said,
that, as the first duty of the Council was to elect a gen-
tleman to occupy the seat which Mr. Hodgson now so
worthily filled, he rose for the purpose of putting in nomi-
nation a gentleman who, in his opinion, and, he trusted,
in the opinion of the Council also, was in every way qua-
lified to act as Mr. Hodgson's successor. The public and
private worth of the gentleman. the zeal, the ability, and
courtesy which he had at all times exhibited in the dis-
charge of his various duties, as well as, above all, the ad-
mirable manner in which he had filled for several years
.one of the most important offices under the Corporation,
were too well known to require any eulogium from him,
(Sir Thomas), and would plead far more eloquently than
any words of itis could do. With this feeling, and looking
at the cast amount of business which the Council had to
get through that day, he would not presume to occupy
their time further than at once to proceed to move that
Mr. George Hall Lawrence be elected Mayor for the
borough for the ensuing year. (Applause.)
Mr. Alderman TURNER said it afforded him very great
pleasure to be deputed to second the nomination of Mr.
Lawrence, for he believed that that gentleman's election
to the high office of Chief Magistrate would be confirmed
by the unanimous vote of the Council, a circumstance
which materially enhanced the honour of the appoint.
ment, and rendered the election doubly gratifying to his
friends. (Hear, hear.) But Mr. Lawrence's friends
were not the only persons interested in the proceedings of
that day. He (Mr. Turner) might congratulate the
Council at large on the choice they were now to make,
for the gentleman they were about to appoin to the
honourable post of Mayor was well qualified in every re-
spect for the situation. (Hear, hear.) He need scarcely
remind them that Mr. Lawrence had been nine years in
the Council, and that, during that long period, he had
devoted the best energies of his mind to the performance
of the various duties required of him. They were wit-
nesses of the untiring exertions, the unremitting zeal, and
unwearied assiduity he had displayed ; and what stronger
evidence could they have that, in the more exalted sphere
to which they were now about to send him, be would be
found equally zealous and faithful. They had an assur-
ance in the past that he would pursue the same meri-
torious line of conduct and discharge his more responsible
duties with fidelity, and that, in his bands, re rights and
privileges of the burgesses, and the honour and dignity of
this great Corporation, would be maintained during his
year in office in full integrity. He (Mr. Turner) had only
to add a hope that Mr. Lawrence might enjoy his new
berth with satisfaction to himself and advantage to the
community. (Applause.)
The MAYOR having asked whether there was any other
candidate to be proposed, and there being no answer, Mr.
G. H. Lawrence was declared unanimously elected.
Mr. Lawrence then walked up the room amic loud
cheers and clapping of hands, and took his seat as Chief
Magistrate. He was cordially shaken by the hand by the
retiring mayor, and was also congratulated on his eleva-
tion by several of the members. The usual preliminaries
upon the acceptance of office having been gone through,
The MAYOR addressed the Council as follows :
Gentlemen, before we proceed to the ordinary business of
the day, I feel it incumbent upon me to thank you most
sincerely for the honour vou have done me in requesting
me to preside over your -deliberations, and to act as chief
magistrate of this important town for the ensuing year.
I do indeed thank you for this vote, which abundantly
requites me for all the little difficulties and discourage-
merits which the Chairman of the Finance Committee of
a popularly constituted body such as this, is destined to
encounter. I cannot but fed this encouragement to ex-
cite me to still further exertions to secure your favour,
and to prove myself wor by of this great reward. Gen-
tlemen, impartiality anti moderation have always been the
chief characteristics of this chair ; and I hope front what
I know of my own character, I shall not prove defi-
cient in this respect. But I am fully sensible of the
most onerous and important duties which devolve upon
me as mayor of Liverpool. I am fully aware too of my
own deficiencies. I an, fully aware how much I shall stand
in need of support, assistance, and, at times. of advice.
But, gentlemen, I will not allow the difficulties that
present themselves to my mind to press too deeply upon
me, lest I despond. I will rather, upon the contrary,
take courage ; I will rather, upon the contrary, call to
mind that I hare the opportunity and the power to look
to the example of my excellent predecessors, who are my
guides—whose steps I shall be anxious to follow, teaching
me what to do and what to avoid. I shall rather call to
mind the kindness and partiality you have shown me this
day, believing as I do that that kindness and partiality
will not be withdrawn from me upon slight grounds, but
that, upon the contrary, you will put a favourable con-
struction upon all my actions, 'fully convinced of the
honesty of my motives, believing that I have only
those objects in common with yourselves—to maintain
the honour and dignity of this council, and to promote as
far as I can the best interests of the great community
over which we have been called to rule. (Hear, hear.)
With these observations. I again thank you most sincerely
for the honour you have done me • and we will now
proceed to the business of the day. (Hear, hear.)
The Mayor's allowance was fixed at £2OOO.
In reply to Mr. ASPINALL.,

The MAYOR said be should have great pleasure in
attending St. Peter's Church, next Sunday, according to
the custom of his predecessors.
Mr. BRAMLEY MOORE here rose and said—lt was my
intention to have claimed the attention of the Council for
a few moments regarding a question of privilege affecting
myself. An attack has been made upon me by a member
of the Council, but I understand th 4 member is not
present, therefore, with your permission, I will, upon his
arrival, if th- Council will indulge me, draw attention to
the subject, which I believe affects my character as re-
turning officer of the ward.
The MAYOR.—Most certainly.
The minutes of the last Council and the proceedings of
the Dock Committee were read and confirmed.

The three quarterly meetings were appointed for the
first Wednesdays in February, May, and August.

The annual officers of the Corporation were next ap-
pointed, and the Council were proceeding to the election
of the Finance Committee, when

Mr• WILLIAM EARLE rose toAask whether he was in
order in stating previously a few reasons why a change
should be made in the mode of appointing the Finance
Committee? Hying received permission from the chair,
he proceeded to complain of some acts of narrow economy
which had characterised the conduct of that body, and re-
ferred particularly to Victoiia-place, and to the leasing of
some houses in Commutation•row, when he was inter-
rupted by the Mayor, who thought he was entering into
details upon a subject which was not precisely before
them.

Mr. AmouosE LACE said that there was no question
before the Council. The proper time was when the com-
mittee was moved.

—Sir THOMAS BRANCKER said a few words as to what
were, in his opinion, the duties and proper policy of the
Finance Committee, and proceeded to move a list, Mr.
Earle promising to make his observations as soon as he
came to Sir Thomas's own name. As this was the second
on the list,

Mr. EARLE went on with bis comments, and com-
plained of the conduct of the committee with respect to
allowing the land in Cook-street to be built upon, with
expensive buildings, which precluded any good commu-
nication being formed hereaft,r from Castle-street to St.
George's-hall ; and after referring to other similar alleged
shortcomings, moved that Sir Thomas Brancker be not
appointed to carry into the Finance Committee the views
which be had just expressed.
Mr. PARKER rose to oppose the motion, and con-
tended that the Council should, instead of providing
magnificent thoroughfares and statf-ly buildings, devote
itself to improving the sanatory condition of the people,
many of whom in his own ward were sleeping upon
damp straw.

Mr. RATHBONE approved of Mr. Parker's remarks as
to the importance of sanatory regulations,, but did not
agree wish him in his objections to spending money npon
improving the entrances to the town, which was most
important to its health
Th

le committee was then appointed, consisting of Mr

James Aspinall, Sir Thom; Brancker, S.-Holme
George G. Hornby, Hugh Hornby, Richard Houghton,
jun.. James Lawrence, John Shaw Leigh, Thos. Sands,
J. Stewart, J. H. Turner, D. Hodgson, A. Swainson,
and J. Proctor.
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOOlM—Mr. Mayor, I believe Mr
Danson has now entered the room.

The MAYOR.—Is it a matter of privilege?
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE.—Yes Sir, It is.
The MAYOR.—Because it iS only upon such grounds
that you can be allowed to interfere with the regular
course of business.
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE.—I have already introduced
myself to Mr. Danson, and communicated with him ; and
I hope the time of the Council will now be spared.
Mr. DANSON.—It was in consequence of an insinua-
tion thrown out by myself in an address I published to
the electors of Lime-street Ward. Mr. Moore has, in
this room, assured me upon his honour as a gentleman,
there is no truth in the public report upon which I
grounded the insinuation ; and I believe it my duty, in
consequence of that assurance, to make the amende
honourable, and to say—in consequence of bis saying
there is no truth in it—l believe it to be so. (Hear.)
The MAYOR.—I am very glad to hear what has fallen
from Mr. Danson. If Mr, Danson had known Mr.
Moore as well as we do, be would not have felt it neces-
sary to make any insinuation at all, for I am perfectly
sure there are no grounds for any insinuations. (Hear,
hear.)
The standing orders for the regulations of the proccd-
ings of the Council, and for the government of the Com-
mittees, having been read,
Mr. RATHBONE moved a standing order to the effect
that no publican, spirit dealer, or brewer, be a member of
the Watch Committee. In moving the adoption of this
order, he wished it to be distinctly understood, that he
meant no reflection or dis respect to the gentlemen be-
longing to those professions who were members of the
council. In the case of the magistracy, it was the law of
the country that no gentleman in those trades should sit
at or interfere with licensing sessions; and it was his
opinion that a similar provision had not been inserted
in the Municipal Act simply from an oversight. He con-
tended that gentlemen in these trades who were upon the
Watch Committee had an influence over the police. He
knew of one instance in which the name of the hon.
member for St. Anne's Ward- bad been mentioned as
having wished to bully a watchman, but it was contrary
to fact.
Mr. DANSON seconded the motion, and said he was

satisfied that Mr. Parker had not sanctioned the use of
his name in the case mentioned by Mr. Rathbone. At
the same time, gentlemen in the trades referred to were
placed in an invidious position by being elected upon the
Watch Committee. _ _

Mr. PARKER considered that a direct accusation had
been made against him, and that he was the most perse-
cuted man in the Council; but he bid defiance to all
attempts to injure him. As to the constitution of
the Watch Committee, tbat was a matter for the decision
of the Council, and he cared not one straw about it ; but
he contended it was quite as 'expectable to be a common
brewer as a master porter. This proposition was a direct
attack upon the tradesmen and shopkeepers of the town,
who commanded all the wards of the town except perhaps
two.

Mr. RATHBONE disclaimed having made any accusa-
tions against Mr. Parker.
Mr. HODGSON asked the Town Clerk whether it was
competent for any member to propose a motion for the
exclusion of other members from any committee? If it
were competent, it was most extraordinary; and more
particularly so, seeing the quarter when it proceeded. If
particular members could he excluded from one com-
mittee, they could be excluded from all, although they
bad been elected to discharge their duties as members of
the Council. It was, indeed, the most monstrous as-
sumption of power, and one contrary to law, that could
possible have been made.
Mr. EARLE supported the motion. Mr. Parker had
said, that if next year he ceased to be a member of the
Council, a great deal of his time would be spared. He
(Mr. Earle) was sure a good deal of the Council's time
would be spared too. (A laugh.)
The TOWN-CLERK, in reply to Mr. Hodgson's ques-
tion, said that a standing order like that now proposed,
could not be supported. It was disqualifying certain
members for performing certain acts, upon which the law
was srlent. Any gentleman might be objected to, but a
standing order, to the effect suggested, would tie up the
hands of the Council from proposing any person of those
trades. It would be a disqualifying clause in relation to
those gentlemen.
Mr. PROCTOR and Mr. JAMES LAWRENCE both called
upon Mr. Rathbone, or any one else, to prove, if they
could, any interference on their part with the police.
Mr. RATRIVONE said be did not allege interference, but
he contended that the police officers could not do their
duty effectually against publicans and spirit dealers, when
gentlemen in connection with those trades were upon the
Watch Committee.

After some further discussion, the motion was with-
drawn.

Mr. JAMES LAWRENCE moved the appointment of the
Watch Committee, to consist of the following twenty-five
gentlemen, viz., Messrs. James Proctor, Wm. Atherton,
J. Booker, Wm. Earle, G. G. Hornby, Hugh Hornby,
R. S. Henderson. R. B. Hill, Thomas Littledale, James

T. Robinson.

Mr. BRAMLEY•MOORE stated that there was only one
vacancy upon the Dock Committee—that of Mr. James
Aikin, and moved his re-appointment.
Mr. J. B. LLOYD moved that the following eentlemen
form the Courts of Law Committee, viz. :—Messrs. J.

mund Molyneux.

Mr. kATHBONE announced that, on a future day, he
should move that the schools should be remodelled and
managed upon the original system.
Sir THOS. BRANCKER proposed the appointment of the
Gaol Committee, viz. :—The Mayor, Messrs. Jas. Aikin,
Wm. Earle, Eyre Evans. John Holme, H. Hornby, R.
Houghton, jun., D. Hodgson, W. Rathbone, Thomas
Sands, and Robert Benn.
Sir THOS. BRANCKER moved that the following gentle-
men form the Town-hall Establishment Committee, viz. ;
the Mayor, Sir T. Branoker, Messrs. D. Hodgson, C. S.
Middleton, J. B. Moore, J. Plumpton, and A. Swainson.
Mr. A. LACE moved that the following gentlemen form
the Health Committee, viz. :—The Mayor, Messrs. W.

ton, sea., R. L. Jones, Thos. Kaye, A. Lace, J. B.
Lloyd, J. G. Morris, Jas. Parker, W. Rathbone, C. W.
Reade, C. Robertson, J. A. Tinne, and T.. Toulmin.
Mr. RATHBONE opposed the appointment of Mr. Tout-
min, on the ground that he would not work if elected, as
he was known to have stated that be had only come for-
ward for the ward to keep out a worse man.
Mr. TOULMIN, however, declared that he was ready to
work on the committee, but would not withdraw his ex-
pres•ion that he cameforward for the ward " to.keep out
awo se man." (Laughter.)
Mr. CROOK moved the appointment of the Gardens'

and G. G. Hornby.

Mr. HIGGINS made some remarks upon the costliness
of the Corporation Churches to the boroul,h fund; and
wished that something could be done by which they c,uld
be better filled, and made to pay their own expenses, like
some other churches in the town, which not only did so,
but left a handsome surplus to those who had invested
money in them. After a few words of explanation from
Mr. J. Lawrence.

Sir THOS. BRANCKER moved that the following gentle-
men form the Observatory Committee:—Messrs. Aikin,
Higgins, Hill, R. Houghton, sen., Nicol, Plumpton, F.
Shand J. Tyrer, and H. Danson.

Mr. Nicol. moved the appointment of the Fire Corn-

Messrs. Aikin, Booker, G. G. Hornby,_ H. Hornby, F. Shand;
Stewart, Swainson, Turner, S. Hotme, and Nicol.

Mr. florisFALL gave notice, that at a future opportunity he
should move, as an instruction to the committee, that the old
practice of holding inquests in cases of fires be revived.
Mr. J. N. WOOD proposed that the Ferries Committee con
sist of Messrs. Aikin, Atherton, Evans, Mann, hoyden, Stew-
art, and Wood. -
Mr. W. EARLE, on rising to move the appointment of a spe-
cial committee for the purpose of devising a comprehensive
plan for the improvement of the borough, entered into some
remarks upon the great importance of the subject. They had
the borough extending itself in all directions ; and the vacant
land in the outskirts was being rapidly covered with buildings ,
of all descriptions, including confined courts, with no compre-
hensive plan adopted to secure good openings and wide tho-
roughfares for the purposes of health and ventilation. He was
not afraid of having to incur the necessity of a borough rate
for the purpose of carrying out this important object ). and
pointed to what the inhabitants of Manchester were doing• to
improve their town. The expense of a rate would fall upon
those who were best able to pay it. He concluded by moving
the appointment of the committee.
Mr. PA RKER opposed the appointment of the committee, and
stated that although a similar one had been appointed on the
sth of March last, they had done nothing until October, when
they presented a report, which he requested to have read for
theinformation of the new members before he proceeded.
The report having been read, detailing the present powers of
the Improvement Committee, and the streets which they had
the power to improve, contended that they had sufficient work
cut out for them for some time to come. He was confident the
Council would never submit to the imposition of a borough rate
to improve the approaches to the Town-hall and to St. George's
Hall. They all remembered how they had mismanaged the
funds under their former acts of Parliament, when, to get
something more sightly to the eye, at the bottom of their new
street on the site of Pool-lane, than a few coasting vessels, they

present clumsy-looking Custom House. He asked Where the
money was to come from for any comprehensive schemes ? The
public would not allow them to put their hands into their pock-
ets. They had no powers now to move at all, but must go to
the public for a rate, and thus place the Council in opposition
to the mass of the people.
The Committee was appointed, consisting of Sir T. Brancker,
W. Nicol, T. B. Horsfall, J. Stewart, J. H. Turner, J. A. Tinne,
H. Hornby, W. Earle, Samuel Holme, J. Aikin and A. Lace.

On the name of Mr. S. Holme being put to the Council, that
gentleman expressed his wish to be excused, although he fully
approved of the object of the Committee being appointed, and
its usefulness in preparing information. He was most favour-
able to the principle of opening out new and wide thoroughfares
for the ventilation of the town, and regretted that it had not
been earlier attended to. He had himself, when in the Council,
and the land in Cook-street was in their possession, proposed
the carrying of a street of 24 or 25 yards wide from it
onwards, crossing Sir Thomas's-buildings to the Law Courts,
by which a view of the portico of St. George's Hall could have
been obtained from Castle-street, and' the present thorough-
fares of Lord-street, &c., have been relieved. This improve-
ment he was convinced might have been effected at a compara-
tively trifling cost. He was defeated, however, on the question,
and it was now rendered impracticable. Another great mis-
take had been committed in not carrying Burlington-street
down to Regent-street, by which the current of air from the
river would have been carried up to Bverton. The Committee
would act as an excellent pioneer for such improvements. Mr.
Holme ultimately withdrew his objections to sit.
Mr LACE moved the re-appointment of the special committee

appointed on the 24th of August last, to make the necessary
preparations for carrying out the provisions of the Sanatory
Act, which conies into operation on the Ist of January next,
and to take all necessary steps for securing an adequate supply
of water to the borough for domestic, manufacturing, and
other private and public purposes. It was due to the Council,
as the notices for the Water. Bill would appear in the Gazette
of Tuesday next,• to. give some explanation respecting that
measure. When the committee was first formed, their in-
structions were to consider the best means of providing a
plentiful supply of water at the cheapest rate—that was twenty
or thirty gallons per head per day. The first consideration

was, whether that supply co'uld be obtained near Liverpool.
The committee immediately upon their appointment made in-
quiry; and although there was a general impression, from the
known strata of-Liverpool, that it could scarcely. be obtained,
they considered it their duty to obtain the opinions of scien-
tific men. The first gentleman who gave them information
was Mr. Cunningham, the architect, who was also a geologist,
and he was decidedly of opinion, from the strata in and about
Liverpool, that the supply could not be obtained from this
neighbourhood. Professor Ansted was next consulted : and he
alluded more particularly to this gentleman, because, when he
first arrived here, he did not see any difficulty in the way of
obtaining an ample supply, but, as a prudent man, he declined
to give any positive opinion until he had examined the whole
district. He had now done so, and on the 31st of October he
made a report, well worthy of the perusal of the Council. That
report satisfied him (Mr. Lace) that it was totally out of the
question to expect to obtain a supply of water from this neigh-
bourhood. The committee had also the opportunity of con-
sulting Mr. Reside! and 14Ir:Cubitt, both of ivlionl stood very
high in their profession ; they deferred to the opinion of geolo-
gists, but both expressed a conviction that a supply from or
near Liverpool was not to be expected, Mr, Bendel referred

Nov. 10, 1546.

the committee to the case of Edinburgh, which for years had
collected water from springs, but had been obliged to go for an.
adequate supply to the Pentland Hills. Mr. Cubitt considered
it impracticable to make the attempt here. On the other
hand, there was only Mr. Simpson, who had made a report to
the Highway Board, in which he stated that from the two
sources of springs and surface water, together with the Green-
lane works, ten millons of gallons daily could be obtained-
That, at the extreme of 30 gallons per head per day, would
about supply the town of Liverpool, as it now was, but there
would be no provision for the wants of a future time. (Hear.)
Gentlemen would see, on looking over Mr. Simpson's report,
that four millions of gallons were estimated to proceed from
springs, and no doubt they would yield, at the first, that
amount. But the question was, how long that supply would
last, if four miliions of gallons daily were pumped up? (Hear.)
On that point, Professor Ansted and Mr. Cunningham had
given very valuable information, showing that it could not be
expected. The red sand-stone might be perfectly saturated
now, but it would not remain so very long. Four millions of
gallons more, daily, were to come from the surface; but as-
suming there would be that quantity, it was admitted, upon att
analysis, that the water would be of a brown colour. The
Council would agree with him it would be most impolitic
to begin a great work, at great expense, and when it was cosn-
pleted to be obliged to tell people the water, when they saw it,
was clean. (Hear.) Mr. Simpson's was the only report the
committee had in contradiction to those of the other parties
and when the names of Cunningham, Ansted, Cubitt, and
Bendel, were mentioned as taking a contrary view, it was from
no disrespect to Mr. Simpson that their opinion was pre-
ferred. He (Mr. Lace) did not mean to say that ten millions Of
gallons would not be found, but it was doubtful whether one-
half of the quantity would be of a character fit to be given to
the town. (Hear.) The committee had, however, taken the
precaution of looking elsewhere. The first scheme that pre-
sented itself was the Bala Lake scheme. No doubt it was
grand scheme, and if it were not for the expense, was the scheme
that ought to be carried out. It had a great many good pro-
perties, besides the immense extent of water; but without going
into detail, the committee were borne out in estimating the ex-
pense at from ...t'1,000,000 to £1,500,000; and as one great objects
next to an ample supply, was cheapness, it behoved the com-
mittee to look nearer home. They turned their attention to
the scheme mentioned to them in April last by Mr. Hawksley,
which was to supply the town, from the east side, towards
Chorley, and in the direction of Rivington Pike. They found
that 20 millions of gallons per day could be supplied thence-
The distance was about 25 miles ; the water would come along
the roads most of the way; it was of good quality; and the
expense would be about .4'450,000. This, of course, did not
include the pipin4 in the town, but it would include even"-
thing that the Bala Lake scheme included for £1,000,000 or
.41,500,000. The committee, therefore, had thought it their
duty to give the notices for this scheme, and with the approba-
tion of the Council they would carry it through. At the smile
time, they would continue the investigation into the goodness
and plenty of the water, and if they found they had been mis-
taken, they would at once go to the Council and say so. They
had no predilection for Rivington Pike, nor had they any pre-
judice against Bala Lake; but they considered that next to a
sufficient quantity was its cheapness. Gentlemen must recol-
lect that an expense of £1,500,000 would be somethinr, like*
rate of 2s. in the pound upon the town for water, and that it
would almost preclude the element being given cheap to tA6
lower classes. It was, therefore, of the utmost consequence to
keep to the cheapest scheme. It would be seen, from the
parliamentary notices, that power was taken to purchase the
two water companies. This- was not upon the ground of any
fear of the suthciency of the supply by the new scheme, but
because it might be desirable hereafter to treat with those
companies upon a fair and liberal footing, and to prevent an
opposition to and destruction of private interests.
Mr. PROCTER was sure the Council would affort the Corot
mittee every facility in prosecuting this great object, but the
purchase of the two water companies upon fair and honourable
terms should be insisted upon, because they had the power 01
increasing the value of their property. He hoped the bin
would be vigorously prosecuted in Parliament.
Mr. LACE was satisfied the committee would go on with the.
bill ; and the ground upon which the existing companies would
be purchased would be that of giving a fair remuneration Pr
private property. (Hear.) If the companies required an inor-
dinate amount, or if they expected' that by waiting till next
year it would be doubled, they would be much mistaken. I,"
any such case, the new works would he found able to supply
the whole town, and the existing companies would find they
had made a great mistake.
Mr. Hum 'Ns expressed his regret that the committee had
decided upon the Rivington Pike scheme in opposition to the
Bala Lake. By one the supply would be accidental and casual;
by the other constant and certain. The distance from Riving'
ton Pike was twenty-five miles, and it would cost half a million-
Bala Lake was not more than twice the distance.
Mr LACE said the distance to Bala Lake itself was a hundred

miles.
Mr. litooncs contended that in this case economy was not
advisable, as it must be recollected that the population was ra"
pidly increasing

" The patronage of the highest lady in the land has been ex-
tended to it."—Hampshire Advertiser.
" It speaks volumes for her taste:"—Punch.
" It combines the sweetness of the grape, the fragance of the
lime, and the exhilirating qualities of champagne."—Liverpool
Courier. _ .

Milk Punch leaves all other libations at an im-
measurable distance."—Sun.
" As delicious a mixture 'as ever passed the palate of great
Jove himself."—Liverpool Albion.
" More easily imagined than described."—Kentish Observer.
