spicuous part.

THE LAND IN CHESHIRE.
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said the Finance committee
had been requested to report as to the tenders for the
land at Wallas-y Pool. He now held in his hand the
resolution which the Finance committee bad come to.
The tenders were not so numerous as he had expected.
There were only eight or nine of them related to property,
which was not advertised at all. The first offer wa, for a
piece of land adjoining Mr: Laird's previous purchase.
That gentleman now offered 15s. per yard for 7000 square
yards. This was back land, and the price for which the
other land was sold was 10s. per yard. The only altera-
tion in the conditions was, that he should pay 10 per cent.
deposit instead of 5 tier cent., and pay half the expenses
of making the road. Mr. Lawrence concluded by moving
that the sale take place on these terms.
Mr. AIKIN moved, as an amendment, that the mini-
mum price should be 20s.
_ _

Mr. EDWARDS seconded the amendment.
After some conversation the Council went to the vote,
when there appeared 21 in favour of the amendment, and
22 against it, namely :
For.—Messrs. Thornhill, T. Holmes, Holt, Chalmer,
Blundell, Edwards, North, H. Holmes, Aikin, Sothern,
Royden, G. G. Hornby, Kilshaw, Parker, Turner,
Plumpton, Barclay, Houghton, Bulley, J. Lawrence, and
Molyneux.

Against it.—Messrs. Blackburn, Thompson, H. Horn-
by, J. Holmes, Tinne, Rae, Birkett, Wood, Bouitiower,
Gladstonei Lloyd, G. H. Lawrence, Leigh, Lace, Trot-
man, Harbord, Sheppard, Brancker, Nicol, Moon, Evans,
and the Mayor.
Some further conversation took place, after wilicb the
Council proceeded to vote on the original motion, au-
thorising the selling of the land. There appeared in favor
of selling, 20 ; against, 18 ; namely :
For selling the Land.—Messrs. Blackburn, H. Holmes,
H . H ornby, J. El Ames, Rae, Birkett, Wood, Boutflow,r,
Gladstone, G. H. Lawrence, Leigh, Trot man, Sheppard,
Barclay, Brancker, Holt, Nicol, Molyneux, Moon, and

North, Aikin, Tinne, Sothern, Royden, G. G. Hornby,
Kilshaw, Lloyd, Parker, Piumpton. Lace, Harbord,
Houghton, Bulley, and J. Lawrence.
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE then stated that the second
te.oler was from Messrs. Laird and Jackson, who offered
for 38,000 yards, and for another quantity of 50,000 yards
more remote from Liverpool. The resolution of the com-
mittee was that they should accept the tender of 14s. per
square yard for the 38,000 yards.
Several gentlemen objected to the sale, on the ground
that the price was too low, and the offer was rejected with-
out a division.

Mr. NORTE then moved a recommendation to the
Finance Committee, that no further sale of the Walla-
sey Pool Estate should take place, except by public
auction.
Mr. PARKER seconded the motion.

Mr. G. 11. LAWRENCE said there was a letter from
Mr. Cole, offering to take 80 acres at £1,200 an acre ;
that subject was still under consideration ; but if Mr.
Noah's proposition was carried that would fall to the
ground.
The Council proceeded to vote on Mr. North's mo-
tion. There appeared in favour of it 19 ; against it, 18;
natnel y,
For the motion.—Messrs. Thornhill, Isaac Holmes,
Chaltner, Edwards, North, H. Holmes, Aikin, Tinne,
Rae, Royden, Kilshaw, Lloyd, Parker, Plumpton,
Harbord, Houghton, sen., Bulley, J. Lawrence, and
Turner. _ .

Against it.—Messrs. Hodgson, Blackburn, H. Hornby,
J. Holmes, Birkett, Wood,l3outtiower, G. H. Lawrence.
Leigh, Lace, Trotinan, Sheppard, Barclay, Brancker,
Holt, Nicol, and the Mayor.
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE.—IS it the wish of the Council
that we should offer this property by public auction!
(" Yes, at once.")
Mr. Alderman! Tuzuvrcx asked who had the manage-
ment of the conservancy of the river as to the firing of
guns ? The Halifax ste irners, on their arriving, tired
guns, and it was a great ❑uisance. The Acadia came in
the other morning at four o'clock, and fired four guns.
He was sure nearly all the people in Rodney-street were
wakened by them, and many of the ladies were frightened.
(Laughter.)
The TOWN-CLERK said the conservancy, so far as that
I went, was invested in the magistrates, who could inflict a
penalty.
The Council adjourned at five minutes to three o'clock.

LIVERPOOL GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLE-CHASE.--
This " crack" affair is fixed to take place on Wednesday
the 28th of February next. There are already upwards
of twenty subscribers to the grand race; and in addition
to the Champion Hurdle Race, there will be a match for
£3OO a-side, between Lord Maidstone's Wiverton and the
Hon. S. Herbert's celebrated old racer, Arctic, over
four miles of the steeple-chase country. The Waterloo
Coursing Meeting comes off on Tuesday, the 27th, and
Thursday, the 29th, so that the lovers of long-tails, and
the sons of Nimrod, may expect a rich treat.
FORGERY .—On Thursday last Mr. W. Taylor, woollen
manufacturer, of Saddleworth, was committed to take
his trial at the Liverpool assizes for having knowingly
uttered a forged bill of exchange for the payment of
.1:224. 14s. to the order of John Brown, of Wooldale,
drawn on the Oldham Banking Company.
CHESTER ASSIZES—THE MORMON MANSLAUGHTER.
—OD Tuesday last, Jonathan Pogmore, aged 44, and
Thos. Cartwright, aged 28, two Morcnonite blacksmiths,
were charged with the manslaughter of Sarah Cartwright,
who, it will be remembered, was drowned whilst the pri-
soners, one of whom was her husband, were baptizing her
in Coppen-hall Biook, near Crewe, on the night of the
23rd of November last. The prisoners were acquitted by
direction of the Judge, in consequence of all the material
witnesses having absented themselves, whilst the prose-
cuting attorney also kept out of the way.
