" P.S.—The members of the council who came to t.
meeting retired before the proceedings commenced, feelin,
that, as the subject might come before them in council
it would be better for them to absent themselves."
The following is the resolution referred to in Mr.
Brown's note :
" After the most careful and minute examination into
the charge preferred against Messrs. Sands, Turner, and
Co., in the letter addressed to the Mayor, on the 6th
instant, by Mr. Corrie, receiver of the town dues,
It was resolved unanimously,
" That in, the opinion of this meeting there there is not the
slightest ground to justify the imputati which is at.
tempted to be cast upon those gentlemen.
Resolved unanimously,
"That no definition is procurable from the receiver o
town dues by which to distinguish a bale from a truss, o
a case from a box, but that, on the contrary, in reply t
the chairman, Mr. Ripley, and Mr. C. S. Parker, depute
from this meeting for the purpose of ascertaining the
point, he replied that he was instructed by the Mayor ar

usual half-yearly meeting was held on Monday, at
company's offices, Eden quay, James Ferrier, Esq., in the
chair, when a full report of the proceedings of the com-
pany for the past half year was submitted to the proprie-
tors. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum
was declared upon the profits for the past half year.
WESLEYAN EDUCATION SCHEME.—The Watchman
newspaper, as the organ of the Wesleyan Methodists, in
its number of Wednesday last, furnishes a variety of par-
ticulars regarding the scheme last week promulgated f'
supplying in some degree the educat;-
population in our manufacturing districts
that the Wesleyaus will be able, with'
years, to establish at least seven Ip-
dition to those already in operation.
plish this object, it is calculated that an outlay, amount
ing to not less than two hundred thousand pounds, wilt
be required, in addition to the sums necessary for the
annual maintenance of the schools, above the income
that may be derived from the weekly payments of the
children. Of the aggregate amount thus called for, by
far the largest portion must be raised gradually and lo-
cally, in order to the provision of suitable buildings, and
the discharge of other unavoidable demands ; but it is
resolved that a sum of £35,000 shall be forthwith raised
as a General Education Fund, to be appropriated to the
providing of suitable masters
of new schools, &c. An appeal is made to t
Circuits for the supply, at the earliest
£20,000 of this latter sum.

AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—OH Saturday last, a per- nd I
son was brought up at the County Police-office, charged I is r
ea with having been one of the parties who were poaching 3
on the preserves of the Earl of Derby at Knowsley, and
CA
who shot one of the watchers named Kenyon, who is ex- it C
pected to die every hour. It seems that on Friday morn-
ing
last, about five o'clock, three of Lord Derby's keepers I
off were watching the preserves at Knowsley, when they
heard a gun fired, and having called one or two other
