TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 1, 1851.

THE evidence given by Mr. Hatfield, secretarY
to the Birkenhead Dock Company, before the select
committee on the Passenger's Act, is curious, as show-
ing the extent to which these gentlemen are ready to
go, in order to raise their own property at the ex-
pense of Liverpool, or of any other interest. It, at
the same time, shows how active they are in avail-
ing themselves of every opportunity to press their
pretensions before parliament. The object of the
committee's inquiries was to ascertain whether
some more perfect arrangements than those at pre-
sent existing for the protection of emigrants from
Imposition whilst ashore, for the more convenient
examination of their stores by the government
officers, and the inspection of their persons by
the medical staff before going on board,
could not be devised. Mr. Hatfield disap-
proves of nearly the whole of the existing
arrangements; and after quoting a memorial, re-
cently presented to government by a number of
American captains visiting this pert, the main ob-
ject of which, it is well known, was to procure the
privilege of having fires and lights on board their
ships, he proceeds to give his notions of the kind
of system which should be put in force.
Of course the leading feature in the plan is the
adoption of Birkenhead as the great emigration
port in the Mersey. We are to transfer a large
portion of the American shipping engaged in the
emigration trade to the Great Float. But this is
not all. Mr. Hatfield urges, as one of the advan-
tages of the change, that " the steamers can come
into the Birkenhead Dock, and they might go
alongside the ship, or to a depot, with their pas-
sengers, without going into the river." Does Mr.
Hatfield contemplate taking from us the Irish
steamers, or are the Woodside ferry boats to mono-
polise the trade of putting passengers on board ?
But then it is not very likely that the American
shipping will voluntarily adopt Birkenhead. They
have the chance now, but do not avail themselves
of it. For that Mr. Hatfield has a remedy. He
would draw a large number of them there by
the following process. He maintains that there
must he a government establishment at Birken-
head, managed by a large staff of government offi-
cers, paid by the country, to which should Le
attached a large " Emigrants' Home," to he
erected—of course on the company's land—by the
company, who are to be paid a rental for it, and to
be perfectly free from all onerous liability. It is
mot, however, to be a Home exactly, for the people
are not to board in it. It is not either to be a pri-
son, for they may go out in the day time, to buy
-their provisions and stores. Mr. Henley, one of
the committee, suggests its resemblance to a sheep
pen. Every emigrant is to register his name in it,
undergo the required examination, and a ticket,
specifying that he has done this, is indispensible to
his being permitted to embark. In short, the
government are to constitute themselves emigration
agents on an extensive scale; and the result of
his plan Mr. Hatfield plainly tells us will he that "it
will extinguish the passenger brokers." By the
way, although in one part of his evidence he states
that he does not intend that all passengers shall
embark from the Birkenhead Depot, he tells us, in
answer to question 1590, that "at all events they
must assemble there before they embark."

Having provided the committee with a depot
system, the witness kindly proceeded to provide
them with the depot itself. The company have
some buildings, called the Dock Cottages, erected
at an expense of about £60,000, which he tells
them would suit the purpose very well, and which,
-so doubt, their present owners would be very glad to
sell !

CONSIDERING his assumed position as a leading
organ of public opinion in one of the most imnor-
-11 int districts of the empire, the Manchester Guar-
dian occasionally displays an amount of ignorance
of commercial and fiscal affairs which is most
astounding. On Saturday last, however, in a
notice of Mr. Duncan's lecture of Tuesday, at the
Corn Exchange, Manchester, he completely out-
Leroded Herod. More complete folly surely never
emanated from the pen of a man professing to be
an instructor of the community. We shall give
an extract or two from this precious production.
The writer is talking about Mr. Duncan's proposi-
tion to base a portion of the money of the country
-upon its taxation, by government issuing one
pound notes in discharge of army and navy esti-
mates, &c., which are to be taken in return as pay-
ment for the taxes due from the people. Upon
this he says:—
" Does Mr. Duncan, then, imagine that taxes are now
paid in sovereigns ; or that, H his taxation one-pound
notes were in existence, they would be used for that pur-
pose ? If he does, we can assure him that he is very
greatly mistaken. The payment of taxes differs in no
respect from the general mercantile and other payments
which take place in the country. The payments through
the London clearing-house alone amount to about twelve
tundred millions sterling annually ; and it would be just
as rational, and just as consistent with sound principle, to
issue the same amount of one-pound notes to facilitate
those payments, as to issue sixty millions to pay the taxes.
How, in fact, are the latter generally paid ? An importer
of wine, spirits, sugar, or coffee,—a soap boiler or a dis-
tiller,—nay, even a publisher of a newspaper,—is called
apon to pay one, two, or three hundred pounds for duties
which he has incurred. Does be proceed to collect toge-
ther sovereigns and hank notes ? No; nine times out of
ten, he draws a cheque on his banker, possibly the same
individual, and the amount is, in due course, transmitted
to London, and paid into the Bank of England, probably
without having caused the movement of a single sovereign
or bank note in the whole process."

Clearly our taxes are paid in sovereigns, or in
bank notes based upon sovereigns in part, and
upon the debt owing by government to the Bank
of England. Our custom-houses and excise-
offices insist also that such sovereigns shall be of
full weight. The payment of taxes does " differ
from the general mercantile and other payments
which take place in the country," because the latter
are sometimes made in bills, whilst the tax receiver
insists upon having legal tender. "An importer
of wine, spirits, sugar, and coffee—a soap-boiler or
distiller," is not allowed to draw a cheque upon his
banker for duties owing. Such importer might just
as well offer the envelope of an ounce of tobacco
to the customs or excise as his cheque. Even a
local bank note is not taken. And with respect
to the newspaper proprietor, the Manchester Guar-
dian must possess some peculiarly friendly relations
with the stamp distributor of his district if he is
permitted to pay duty in anything but bank notes
and gold. Admitting, for the sake of argument,
that he can use the process described by the Guar-
dian, how can money be paid to government or any
-other party, and yet not have " caused the move-
ment of a single sovereign or bank note in the
whole process ?" The government receiver of
taxes in London will insist upon payment in one
or the other ; and, moreover, before a man can
draw a cheque upon his banker, he must either
have previously lodged money with him, or
contract a debt payable hereafter in money. As
to the clearing house affair, money has passed in
some shape for the whole of the twelve hundred
millions mentioned.

But Mr. Duncan's taxation notes, the Guardian
nays, " would become exceedingly ragged and
dirty, so as to be a horrid nuisance" ! Fastidious
gentleman ! There is the consolation, however,
that if the kid gloved manufacturers of Manchester
would not take them, the taxgatherer would. The
" horrid nuisance" might create a demand for eau
tie Cologne, and exceedingly delight Jean Marie
Farina.

The Guardian has an objection also to r ,
Duncan's plan of a money of commerce,
proposed
houses
to be issued upon solid security--lands,
railway shares, &c., the title to which is to be,
lodged with government, with a power of sale in
case of default. Of this money he says
"4 Now, what practical limitation to the extent of such
isques would be in existence ? If a handsome profit could
be made by issuing notes, security would be given to the
extent, probably, of hundreds of millions sterling ; and
the country would be inundated with paper which, not
being payable in definite quantities of the precious metals
or other valuable things, would undergo an exceedingly
rapid depreciation."

The practical limit wonid be the requirements of
commerce. There could certainly be no " hand-
some profit" made by lending money to safe per-
sons, if notes to the amount of hundreds of
millions sterling were pressing upon the market for

employment" ; and we are not aware that men,
who hai pledged their solid acres as security for
their issues, would be very likely_ to lend to
unsafe ones. As to the country being-" inundated
with paper, which, not being payable in definite
quantities of the precious metals, or other valuable
things, would undergo an exceedingly rapid depre-
ciation," the alleged incontrovertibility into "valu-
able things" is simply untrue. The banks which
issued them could always cancel them, and receive
back the property deposited as security. Bearing
the stamp of government, and being legal tenders,
they would always pay a debt, rent, or any other
obligation, and we have no doubt that men could
easily manage to purchase with them gold, if it
was wanted.

The Guardian is fond of adverting, whilst on the
subject of the currency, to the assignats of France,
and the paper dollars of Buenos Ayres. Now, he
well knows that there is no parallel between these
two glaring instances of the abuse of the system
of symbolic money, and the system proposed by
Mr. Duncan. lie might as well argue, that be-
cause a swindler occasionally passes a bill drawn
against an imaginary balance in an imaginary bank,
all bills should be suspected. Surely the British
government, holding, as it will do, real tangible
property as the security for every note issued. will
not be compared to the government of revolution-
ary France, or to the despotism of General-Rosas!

WE understand that a question will come before
the Council, at its meeting to-morrow, which is
regarded as of very great importance by the
farmers of this district. We have been, for years
past, violating the provisions of an act of parlia-
ment—the Weights and Measures Act—by selling
and buying farm and other produce by the cus-
tomary measure of the district. For example :
The stone of hay is twenty pounds weight, instead
of fourteen ; the bushel of potatoes ninety, instead
of eighty-four, as laid down by the statute. A memo-
rial, signed by upwards of 2000 farmers and others,
including some of the leading merchants of the
town, has lately been presented to the Weights and
Measures Committee upon the subject, praying
them to enforce the selling of all articles in the
hay and other produce markets by the legal
standard alone; and to-morrow, we believe, some
resolutions of the committee upon the subject, for
this purpose, will be brought forward.
One evil experienced by the farmers arises,
perhaps. in part, from the liberality of the farmers
themselves, and in part from the exacting spirit
of the dealers and hucksters, who have now become
almost exclusively composed of Irish of a low
grade. If, in weighing a cart load of potatoes, for
example, there be even as much as 86 or 88 lbs.
over, the latter refuse to ray for it as being only a
fraction of a bushel, whilst in reality it is more
than the standard weight. This was not seriously
felt when the price of the article was only from
ls. 6d. to 2s. per bushel. But when prices are
doubled or trebled, as at present, or the crop is
short and delivered in reduced loads, it becomes a
serious matter. The over-weight, in fact, con-
stitutes the retailer's profit. The Council might
remedy a portion of this injustice by a bye-law
prohibiting, by severe penalties, the weighing by
any other than the legal weight at their machines.
At present they have illegal measures—" scores,"
instead of " stones"—upon their printed tickets.
The rest of the movement must be accomplished
by union and firmness amongst the farmers them-
selves.

THE Manchester Examiner of Saturday last con-
tains an article which is strikingly illustrative of
the selfishness of the school to which he belongs.
" No one," he says—

" Can take a thoughtful and forecasting view of the
nature of the employment by which the vast majority of
the population of these districts gain their livelihood,
without feeling considerable anxiety regarding the extent
of our dependence upon the United States for the raw
material of our textile manufactures. Upwards of 80 per
cent of tho cotton worked up in Great Britain comes from
North America. Now, a blight of the crop, as in the
case of the potato in Ireland, in 1847, an insurrectionary
movement among the slave population of the cotton-
growing states ; or, indeed, any cause which should mate-
rially interrupt or diminish our supplies, would undoubt-
edly plunge our manufacturing population into a state of
misery and destitution, from the very contemplation of
which we shrink, and would necessarily cause the most
serious derangement of our entire commercial system.
All efforts, therefore, to promote the cultivation of cotton
in other parts of the world, and thus secure for us a wider
and, consequently, less fluctuating field of supply ; as
well as every attempt to introduce, as a substitute for
cotton, fibrous substances hitherto unused or unknown in
our manufacture. ought to be regarded as questions of
national importance."

It is a horrible idea enough. Mills without cotton ;
manufacturers without yarn to weave, and opera-
tives without wages. Yet all this must result
whenever any interruption to the growth, or the
supply from the United States may occur. The
very existence, in fact, of our great manufacturing
interest depends upon the will or the caprice of a
rival nation. We are told that, under these cir-
cumstances, we ought to look around us for new
textile fabrics as substitutes for cotton, and to les-
sen our precarious dependence upon America..
Very good : do so by all means. But, first of all,
let us see if there is not another course open to us.
We have some splendid colonies in the West In-
dies, which used to supply us abundantly with an
excellent quality of cotton. In British Guiana, in
Trinidad, and in other of our possessions in the
Carribean Sea, the cotton plant is indigenous and
perennial. Its produce is not, like the annual plant
of America, subject to blights, affected by droughts,
or liable to any other serious accident. It is crop-
ped the year round. Why not then look to the
West Indies for a supply ? Why not rebuild the
prosperity of those noble colonies ? The Quaker
member for Manchester knows well how they were
prostrated, and bow far hypocrisy, clothed in drab,
contributed to their prostration. Give the West
Indian planter labour; release him from the
shackles, with which spurious sentimentalism has
bound his hands ; withdraw from around him the
swarm of official menials who, whilst they live
upon his industry, are hourly harassing him with
injurious suspicions, and sowing the seeds of dis-
sension between him and the few labourers who
can at present be got to work ; allow the colonies
to he cultivated, and to get free labour from the
markets of the world, without injurious restrictions
being imposed upon him ; and we may cease to
entertain any fear of that awful calamity which is
to drive us in search of fibrous substance to nettle
beds, China grass, or any other vegetable produc-
tion.

It is an awful thing truly to have to be depen-
dent upon America for cotton. The manufacturing
interest feels its danger. It feels for itself ; and
the feeling is emphatically Manchester. Carry out
the view, however. It is dangerous for any country
to be dependent upon another for any indispensible
raw material. Is it less dangerous to he dependent
upon the foreigner for our food ? Let our contem-
porary take a " thoughtful and forecasting view"
of that question. The time will come, under our
present free trade policy, when the British farmer
must cease to cultivate grain crops. They do not
pay him. What, then, will be the position of this
empire when the change from arable tillage to
grazing and market gardening shall have been
accomphshed, and some future Palmerston shall
have embroiled us with America or the countries
of Europe ? Like the Examiner," we shrink from
the very contemplation" of the misery which must
ensue. It will be in those days a nation asking for
bread. That is worse by far than Manchester ask-
ing for cotton.

A FA CT FOR SIR CHARLES WOOD.—The customs
receipts in America, for the nine months ended March,
show an excess of six millions and a quarter of dollars
over the estimate of the secretary of the treasury, which
was 447.592,000. This is going a-head. When will Sir
C. Wood he able to show an increase of In per cent. ?
THE WRECK OF THE HALc•roikr.—George Allen and
James Taylor, two seamen belonging to the Halcyon,
whose wreck on her voyage to New York was attended
with such disastrous consequences, were charged yester-
day with having stolen a gold ring, a quantity of wearing
apparel, and other property, of Gustave Gutside, a Ger-
man emigrant on board. This unfortunate man, it ap-
pears, also lost his box containing GOO dollars, but could
not say whether the prisoners possessed themselves of
these, though he saw one of them break his box open.
The crew and passengers were taken up by the " Con-
necticut," and brought to this port : the two sailors were
given into custody, on Saturday. They were rommittad

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

Monday Night.

By our private letters by the Asia, we learn that the
weather in the United States and Upper Canada has been
of the finest description, giving every prospect of a great
wheat harvest. At the very moment the news of the
spurt in England was about to be received, the holders of
breadstuffs bad lost hope, and looked to prices for flour
going as low as in 1846 ; so that we may expect large
importations of food from America in the next two
months. The shipping of the breadstuffs alluded to will
be hastened by the evil effect on the New York money
market—sure to flow from two existing causes The
exportation of the precious metals from the United States.
2nd, The return of so many dishonoured cotton bills.
Immense quantities of breadstuffs were being stored at
the ports, which will eventually find their way to this
country.

The advises by the steam-ship Asia, which arrived on
Saturday evening from New York, are generally looked
upon as unfavourable to holders of cotton, inasmuch as
the receipts kept up. Prices were giving way, and the
weather for the coming crop was very fine. The blooming
season was a late one, and so liable to occasional disasters;
and by this latter point will the ultimate range of prices
be ruled. The market here bas been heavy to-day, and
4,500 bales have changed hands, at a decline of 1-16 d. to
4d. per lb.
In the early part of the week there was a good demand
for Sugar, more particularly from the grocers, and prices
improved 6d. Or cwt. Saturday and to-day there has
been less inquiry, but the market closes without change.
Coffee is more inquired for, and prices are rather firmer.
Tea is neglected. Saltpetre has commanded more at-
tention, and .prices are rather dearer.
The Share Market has greatly improved since our last
publication, and it is thought we have seen the lowest.
The public da not, however, buy to any extent, though
there are more inquiries. A few good buyers would
frighten the bears, who are rather uneasy just now. The

The total receipts being £211,851 in 1851, and £178,422
in 1850 ; showing an increase of £33,429. The number
of miles open was, in 1851, 3,234, and in 1850, 3,0111;
showing an increase of 2191 miles. The average return
per mile per week on the above lines was, in 1851,
£65 17s. 64d., and in 1850, £59 4s. 81d. ; showing a
decided increase attributable to the excursion traffic.

We have no prospect of any improvement in the iron
trade, on the contrary, the future is looked forward to
with alarm. The following is the fortnightly report from
the Birmingham Gazette of to-day :
" At the preliminary meeting of this trade, held at the
Stewponey Inn, near Stourbridge, on Thursday last, the resolu-
tion unanimously agreed to was that of not interfering with the
present nominal list of prices, as settled now upwards of two
years ago. From the previous undisguised expression of feel-
ing such a result was scarcely expected; and though from a
combination of circumstances there was a full concurrence
that no better course for the time could be adopted, we have
reason to know that individual members of the trade do not
consider themselves, or each other, pledged to exact any such
figures, so long as they find them impracticable. As it is not
to be expected that gentlemen who conscientiously endeavour
to carry out the resolutions of their meetings will, in such
periods of universally acknowledged difficulty, allow themselves
to he entirely shut out of the market by those whose honour-
able feelings are less acute, they will doubtless avail themselves
of this understanding, and wide as the variation from the list
prices has latterly ranged, there is every reason to anticipate
that the transactions of the forthcoming quarter will show a
still further deviation.—The suspension of the Stourbridge
and Bromsgrove Banks is a matter of deep regret, and follow-
ing as it does close upon the late serious disasters at Liverpool,
it will doubtless exercise a depressing influence upon the ap-
proaching quarterly meetings. The direct connection of
these banks with the iron trade was too slight to lead to any
apprehensions on that score; but being so extensively con-
cerned in the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton and
other Railways, their misfortunes will be more seriously felt
than at first sight might be supposed."
