LOCAL MEETINGS.

LIVERPOOL GUARDIAN SOCIETY.—OR Tuesday eien.
ing, the annual dinner of the Liverpool Guardian Society
was held at the large room of the Queen's Hotel, Lime..
street, and was in every way worthy of the excellent
landlord of that admirably-conducted establishment, Mr.
Henry Curchod, and of this most popular and useful of
our local institutions. Upwards of ninety gentlemen sat
down. The chair was occupied by the president of the
society, Mr. Richard Crossley. The vice-presidents
were Mr. Wiliam Smethurst and Mr. Pemberton, of
Duke-street. Upon the right of the chair we noticed
Thomas B. Horsfall, Esq., the mayor, several members
of the Town Council, and the leading tradesmen of the
town. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. John Smith pro-
posed, " The Members for the County and Borough."
He hoped the members would still continue to advocate
the reduction of the tea and other duties which pressed
down the energies of the people.—(Applause.) The
chairman; in a complimentary speech, proposed the
" Mayor and Town Council." The mayor responded at
some length in an excellent speech. He alluded to the
efforts the society had made to rethlce the gas and tea
duties, and expressed his abhorrence of the budget the
premier had brought forward on Friday night.—Mr.
Shand returned thanks for the Town Council--The other
toasts were of the usual complimentary character ; and
the company, after a happy evening, separated at a late
hour.

DOCK COMMITTEE, THURSDAY.—The new dock bill, as
altered by the Council, was submitted, and the alterations
adopted. A memorial was read from Messrs. C. and D.
M`lver, praying for an alteration in the present plan of
booking vessels for turns, as such a system was injurious
to them, and would be still more so on the arrival of the
new steamers. The letter concluded by stating if some
alteration were not effected, they should petition govern-
ment for the removal of the station. Mr. Tobin said it
would not do to make any alteration- in the present plan.
Mr. Aikin understood that a dock was especially set apart
for these large steamers. Mr. Nicol said that, as a dock
was enlarged for these vessels, it ought to be kept especi-
ally for their use, and any other vessel in it would only be
on sufferance. Mr. Royden said it might be that a vessel
would meet with adverse winds, and he detained for three
days longer than she was expected, or the time appointed ;
and, therefore, he did not consider it right to keep the
dock free, to the detention of other vessels. Mr. Aikin
said, now that they had railways in every nook and cor-
ner of the kingdom, it was possible that any opposition of
that kind would cause them to move the station. He did
not wish them to act on that principle, but upon the prin-
ciple of doing everything they could for the accommoda-
tion of mail steamers. The Chairman ttionaht a

tion ought to be made with these steamers. The memo-
rial was referred to the Harbour-masters Sub-committee.
A letter from Rooney, as to the theft of copper nails from
• TN 1 . .

the Canning Dock, was referred to the surveyor. Mr.
Aikin said, the custom of captains of vessels selling their
sweepings and rubbish. ought to be prohibited, as it led to
much theft..

seemed to be admitted that the acquiitio❑ of trade to the
docks would he gradual, and it was for the interest of all
that the timber trade should be accommodated as speedily
as possible. The writer was conSeqUently gratified to find
that, during the late government inquiry, Mr. Rendell
had announced such to be the intention of the promoters
of the works. He pointed out that, by the preamble of
the bill and the 41st section, £21,000 of the funds to be
forthcoming from the Woods and Forests, instead of be-
ing so applied, were to be devoted to the less important

object of completing the river wall on the north side of
the pool. Mr. Waln also read a minute, from which it
appeared that the matter had already been before the
Works' Committee' who resolved that it be referred to
the solicitor of the bill and the engineers, to take such
steps as they may deem requisite. Mr. Waln said he
ought to mention that since those amendments were sub-.
mitted, he had received a letter relative to the maintain-
ing of a permanent level of water in the Wallasey Pool of
thirteen feet above the old dock sill of Liverpool. unless
previous notice were given, and the consent of the con-
servator of the river obtained. Mr. Cole thought that, as
the commissioners had acted with the bondholders through-
out, it would be better to consult with them before com-
ing to a determination. He did not think the bondholders
knew the alterations which had already been made in the
hill. It was resolved to leave the matter as the committee
had proposed-. A conversation followed, from which it
transpired that the bill (now before parliament) has been.
divided into two; the one part authorizing the govern-
ment grant. to. be promoted by government; the other
part by the commissioners.

TOWN COUNCIL PRO,

CEEDINGS

On Wednesday a special meeting of the Council was
held at the Town-hall.

The Mayor having announced that the first object of
the meeting was the. Bill of the Dock Committee,
Clauses 1,2, and 3, were read and passed.
Clauses 4 and 5 were proposed to be struck out.
Mr. HORNBY thought it injudicious to haye'the exist-
ing dock quays lying idle, and he moved 0-at the 4th
clause, which provided for the immediate erection of dock
-WfirehouSe4—e-rvnt. lat.rxutic ou.t.

The Council divided, when the motion was carried by

a majority of 25 to

EVANS moved that. clause 5, which related to
transit sheds at the Prince's Dock, be reinstated in the bill.
Mr. MANN opposed the motion, as did also Mr. Hodtt-

Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE said the transit sheds at present
occasioned an annual loss to the dock estate of £llOO.
The Council divided, when the motion for reinstating
the clause was lost by a majority of 25 to 22.
The next clause was a manuscript clause, copied from
the Albert Dock Act, and was to the effect that the oc-
cupancy of the new dock warehouses should be subject to
the payment of all parochial rates and all other local rates,
now or hereafter to be levied in the same manner as if the
occupancy of the warehouses were beneficial.
_ _

The I‘.lAYott.—lt is perfectly understood that the bill
will be wit hdrawn if the rating clause be not inserted.

k,iause i 3 was amenoeu, reserving tne quay space.
Clause 16 authorised the Dock Trustees to purchase the
strand at the North Shore from the Earl of Derby and
Lord Stanley. The reading of this clause gave rise to a
lengthened discussion, but it was ultimately adopted by a
majority of 40 to 5.
Clauses 17, 18, and 19 were passed, as was also clause
20, upon the understanding that the Dock Committee
should obtain the power to construct additional docks,
but would not exercise it unless they were imperatively
called for.

The motion, enabling £500.090 additional to be bor-
rowed for the building of warehouses, was lost by a ma-
jority of 23 to 15.

A motion, by Mr. Tinne, to borrow £500,000 for ware-
houses and other purposes connected with the act, was
carried by a majority of 28 to 10.

Clause 41 was a manuscript clause, enforcing payment
for goods deposited in the transit sheds.

Tile clause was struck out by a majority of 22 to 9.
The remaining clauses were then passed, and the bill
was adopted.

HEALTH COMMITTEE.—COMPENSATION.
The Health Committee reported that Mr. Deane, soli..
citor, had agreed to accept of an annuity of £450 from
the first of January, 1847, and £2OO, being the amount
of costs he had incurred, for his loss of office under the
Highway Board. They thought the case of Mr. Snow-
ball must be decided in the Superior Courts, and they had
accordingly made an application to the Court of Queen's
Bench, and the case was now on the Crown paper for ar-
gument. They had agreed to pay the following sums also
tor the loss of office, and the parties to whom the offer

witness from day to day the number of children, some
mere infants, that are brought up in our Police-court for
petty thefts—some for stealing flour, Indian corn, and the
like, from our quays, and others for purloining the scraps
of metal which lie strewed about the Graving Dock ; and
not a few for the graver offence of entering unoccupied
houses and cutting away the piping and taps. Boys guilty
of the above offences were brought before the magistrates
on Friday, many of them belonging to honest parents,
plunged into poverty from want of work. They were dis-
posed of by, in a few instances, being given up to their
parents ; in some cases they were handed over to the over-
seer, and some were sent to prison. The evil is growing
to a magnitUde that calls imperatively for the establish-
ment of a house of refuge.

STEALING SIX BALES OF COTTON.—Charles Paul, ware-
Gilfillan and Co., was charged with
)m Mr. W. Roberts and Co.'s

houseman to Messr
stealing six bales of

wareho-use, It appeared that Mr. Gilfillan
had 253 bales of cotton in the above warehouse, and a
short time ago sixty of the bales were sold. An order
was produced for their delivery, and, in a few days after-
wards, another order for six more, signed by the prisoner.
The goods were delivered, and shipped by the Old Quay
Company for Manchester. Information_ being received

respecting the robbery, officers Kehoe and Bates went to
Manchester, and found the cotton, which was marked R,
still at the wharf, and consigned to John Roberts. Port-

but no such person being in that street, the
s waited till the prisoner appeared to take the bales
The prisoner was remanded.
OW TO TEACH ENGLISH.—On Tuesday a Welshman,
named Williams, appeared to prefer a charge against a
man named Cain, of offering him counterfeit coin. He
affected to have no knowledge whatever of English ; but
Mr. Rushton, knowing that such excuses were often
groundlessly made, thought that self-interest might elicit
an answer, and asked the complainant if he brought mut-
ton to market. The complainant seemed to understand
this question perfectly well, and replied with great prompti-
tude, and amidst the laughter of the court—" Yes, sir, I
do." Mr. Rushton : " How do you sell it P' This in-
terrogatory seemed to light up the countenance of the
Welshman, who, no doubt, thought the worthy magistrate
was about to do business with him, and he immediately
answered, "0, yes, hur was sell it at 6d. and 7d. the
pound." This caused a roar of laughter in the court, in
which the magistrate could scarcely refrain from taking a
part. •He then told his tale flgentlr, au4 tl prison
wag remanded,

PLAYING AT BILLIARDS ON THE SABBATH.-011 Fri..
day, Alfred Copps' was summoned for permitting gala_
tiling on the Sabbath, in a licensed billiard-room, kept
by him, in Parker-street. Inspector Muir went up at half.
past one o'clock on Sunday morning, the 6th instant, and
found two gentlemen playing a match. Mr. Coppall
stated, in defence, that the transgression occurred entirely
without his knowledge and during his absence from town.
Mr. Rushton inflicted the full penalty of £5 and costs,
and said if another case occured defendant's license would
be suspended. .

OBTAINING MONEY FROM THE BISHOP OF BANGOR
BY FALSE PREITNCES.—On Wednesday, James Gold-
smith, who had been remanded from Monday, on a charge
of rai.ing money by using the name of the Rev. Hugh
M'Neile, was again brought up. Mr. Dowling, the
Head Constable, stated that a letter had been received
from the Bishop of Bangor, addressed to the Rev. Hugh
M'Neile. It was to the effect that the Bishop :iad re-
ceived a letter, with a signature purporting to be that of
the Rev. Hugh M•Neile, soliciting subscriptions on be-
half of the distressed Irish. He understood that exer-
tions were being made on their behalf, and, taking it for
granted that the letter had been sent by the Rev. Hugh
M'Neile, he forwarded the check for X. 5, which had been
referred to. From what had subsequently taken place,
he had no doubt the letter was a trap laid for him to ob.,
tain money by false pretences. He had destroyed the
letter. Mr. Rushton, addressing the prisoner, said,
" You have escaped in consequence of the letter being
destroyed, otherwise I should have sent you for trial.
This exposure will save the public from any more imposi-
tions on your part, but if you are brought here atain, and
the case made out, you shall be punished most severely."
The prisoner was about to speak, and had uttered the
words " Gentlemen of the jury," when Mr. Rushton said
there was no jury. unfortunately, in the case, and- told
him to go about his business.

CONVERTS TO PROTESTANTISM.-011 Sunday week,
four persons, members of the Church, of Rome, received,
the Holy Communion at St. James's Church, in this
town, and were admitted as members,of the Church of
England.—Preston Pilot.

FEROCITY OF THE HAWK.—A few"days ago a large
sparrow hawk, attracted by a caged canary in the window
of a house at Lancaster, dashed through the glass at the
little warbler but missed it, and fell onfit's back in the
room. It afterwards escaped.

THE PORT OP PRES CON.—Arrangements have been
made for exporting salt from this port,—an excellent ar-
ticle of back carriage from foreign traders. The Content
is now loading the first cargo from Preston. to. Rostock,
in Prussia. This will be a great advantage to the trade of
the port, as,. formerly, foreign vessels, after discharging
their cargoes at Preston, had to go round to Liverpool to
obtain salt.—Preston Chronicle.

ALTCAR OPEN MEETING.—We learn that on the 10th
and 17th of March there will be an open meeting (the
last, we presume, for the season) upon the splendid crotnain,
and under tha patronage of the Earl of Sefton,: The
stewards are James Wickstead Swan. Esq., of Chorlton-
hall, near Chester, and W. G. Unsworth, Esq., of Meg.
hull, near Liverpool. Mr. Swan is the honorary secretary,
and Mr. M'George will be judge.
FORCIBLE ENTRY INTO A HOUSE AT BROUGIITONi• BY
ARMED MEN.—At about eight o'clock, on the evening of
Friday last, five men, apparently navvies, with their fueen
blackened, and armed with' fire-arms, entered the farm-
house of Mt. Richard Cottam. Crow-hall, near Brough,
ton, and demanded money. Mr. Cottam and a party of
friends were playing a game at the time the men entered
the house. A gun was fired 'by one of the robbers, but,
we have not herd what property was taken.
POTATOE STORES.—The growers in the neighbourhood'
of Garstang have commenced opening their stores, mad 6,
in November last, to take to market, and find they are •
free from disease, which makes them fear that it will re—
duce the price to at least one half what they obtained last
spring ; but, notwithstanding this, they will pay far better -
than any other produce of their farms' as it is not alone -
the produce of the potatoe that they look at, but that it
is the best means of cleaning the land for a crop of grain
the following year.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—A poor girl, named
Pearsall, occasionally subject to syncope, on Wednesday,
the 16th inst., at the house of her master, Mr. Richard
Tees, blacksmith, of Stourbridge, was descending the
cellar steps to draw some beer for dinner, when her foot
slipped, or a fit seized her, which, cannot be ascertained,
and she fell heavily to the bottom, her mouth coming in
contact with a barrel, which forced two of her teeth com-
pletely through her tongue, and rolled upon her as she
lay in a state of insensibility.. The cellar seems to have
been half full of water at the time, and the unfortunate
girl was found in about half an hour after the fall, im-
mersed in it, with the barrel_upon her, quite dead.

LANCASTER ASSIZES.—The following were the princi-
pal cases :—W. H. Shaw and John Hamer were indicted
for a conspiracy to defraud the Yorkshire Insurance
Company. The prisoners conducted business as cotton
spinners, at Haslingden. The machinery and stock in
the mill was, in November, 1846, insured with the York-
shire Insurance Company, and it was burnt in April,
1847. It was alleged that false accounts had been made
up for the purpose of increasing the amount of the alleged
loss. After a lengthy trial, the jury broug,la in a verdict
of not guilty. Mr. Hamer obtained a verdict on the fol-
lowing day for false imprisonment, damages £39.—Wm.
Myers was indicted for• the wilful murder of William
Johnson, at Dalton, by stabbing hint with a knife,. - Thfc
deceased and the prisoner *ere navigators, and on the 2nd
of October, on receiving their wages, had, with others,
become intoxicated at Dalton. The prisoner and deceased
quarrelled, when the former inflicted a stab on the arm,
which caused death. The prisoner was convicted of man-
slaughter, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
