COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

On Wednesday the usual monthly meeting of the Town
Council was held at the Town-hall.

THE WATERLOO HOTEL.

The proceedings of the Finance Committee having been
read,
Mr. Nicol, said he observed by those proceedings, that
the Waterloo Hotel, Ranelagh-street, had been offered
for sale to the committee, and that the offer was rejected.
He wished to know whether that rejection had arisen
from the price asked being unreasonable, or whether be-
cause of any legal or financial objection being in the way.
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE replied, that the question as to
any unreasonableness in price had not been considered, as
the committee did not think it one of those purchases
which they could recommend the council to adopt.
Mr. Nicol, said his reason for asking was, not to in-
quire the price, but to ascertain whether it was an under-
stood thing on the part of the committee that they were to
decide against the purchase generally of buildings in the
town which might be required for the widening of streets,
or whether it was the unreasonableness of price which de-
terred them from accepting the present offer.
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said the committee had not at-
tempted to dictate to the council on the subject. He ad-
mitted that here and there there might be purchases most
eligible for the council to make ' • but the present was not
one of them. It had, however, been put on the proceed-
ings, in order that any member who pleased might make
his own observations on the subject. The committee had
declined to purchase, because they were of opinion that a
sufficient extent of improvement would not be thereby
gained. The council were aware that the Waterloo Hotel
was in a valuable situation, and that its purchase would
cost a large sum of money.
The proceedings were confirmed.

THE NECTARIAN SYRUP,
for producing a delicious, refreshing, and wholesome
Drink. The good effects of Acidulated Beverages, during
the Summer Season, are so well known in quenching
thirst, rendering the skin clear and cool, and promoting
general health, that it is nearly superfluous to recommend
them.

Of all preparations of the kind, the NECTARIAN SY-
RUP is the most agreeable ; and, as possessing the above-
mentioned salubrious properties, is particularly recom-
mended.

To Captains of Vessels, persons going abroad, or taking
excursions of pleasure, it will be found extremely useful,
being portable, and so well calculated to allay that dis-
treszing heat and fever which accompanies thirst.

Lord COTTENHAM said, that after the fullest conside-
ration, he had come to the conclusion that the opinion
expressed by the majority of the learned judges was wrong.
He had formed his opinion early in the argument, and had
heard no reason given why he should change it. The
noble and learned lord examined at length the various
cases upon the point of the indictment containing -some
defective counts, and expressed his opinion that on that
ground the judgment, having been pronounced upon the
indictment generally, was erroneous.
Lord CAMPBELL, after stating his opinion that the in-
dictment contained some good counts, that the pica in
abatement was bad,: and the continuance of the trial legal,
addressed himself.to the question of the challenge to the
array. The parties ought not to have been tried by ajury
struck from the defective list, but on the challenge the
panel ought to have been quashed. On that point, how-
ever, after the opinion of the learned judges, lie should
have hardly felt justified in voting for a reversal of the
judgment; but agreeing with Mr. Justice Coltman and
Mr. Baron Parke in their opinion on the point of the
judgment having been given generally upon the ,indict-
ment, notwithstanding the defective counts, he thought
that the judgment could not be sustained. The noble and
learned lord concluded by moving that the judgment be
reversed.
The question having been put by the Lord Chancellor,
Lord AVM ARNCLITFE recommended such of their lord-
ships as were not learned in the law, and had not heard
the whole case, to abstain from voting, on the ground that
their voting might lessen the authority of their lordships'
house as a court of justice.
Lord BROUGHAM, lamenting the decision of his noble
and learned friends, agreed in the recommendation of the
noble lord. _ . . .

The lay lords accordingly retired behind the woolsack.
The amendment of Lord Campbell was then put, and
carried in the affirmative.

The judgment of the court below therefore stands re-
versed.

[Some slight misunderstanding appears to exist in re-
ference to some of the Judges consulted on this important
occasion. The general inference drawn is, that those
Judges who were absent were adverse to the decision of
the court below. This, however, is not the fact. Mr.
Justice Erskine sent in a written opinion, concurring in
the views of Lord Chief Justice Tindal, while the other
absent judges, Mr. Justice Cresswell, and Mr. Baro❑
Rolfe, and the Lord Chief Baron, Slr F. Pollock, (who
left the House of Lords immediately after giving his opi-
nion in Gray v. the Queen,) took no part in the proceed-
ings of O'Connell v. the Queen, in consequence of not
having been present at the arguments on the writ of
error. Mr. Justice Coleridge wrote a letter to Lord Den-
man, expressing himself of the same opinion as his lord-
ship on the right of the traversers to challenge the jury.]

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The letters of " Dicky Sam" and "An Anglican" were received
too late for insertion.

We have for s•,me time contemplated lhe alterations suggested by-
. " A Friend to the STANDUZD," but it requires time to make the
necessary arrangements.
The " Thinking Men" of the Albion states, with reference to the
case submitted by the Watch Committee to counsel, that the
Town-clerk asserts, that "it is impossible to impugn" the
opinion. What the Town-clerk really did say, as may be seen
from his letter, was that the " case is impossible for the fairness
of its statement to be impugned." The difference is important,
as Mr. Rushton appears to ground some objections against the
mode in which the case was stated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

THE LINEN DRAPERY TRADE : IMPORTANT JUDG-
MENT.—On the 30th ult., in the case of Willis and Davy,
linen-drapers, Oxford-street, London, after repeated exa-
minations in relation to the bankrupts' extraordinary mode
of carrying on business, Mr. Commissioner Fane delivered
his judgment upon their application for their certificate.
These bankrupts, said his honour, began business in May,
1840, with £1375 capital, and failed in July, 43, owing
£22,647, their assets having realised £7,524. Only one
assignee appeared, and has thus faithfully performed his
duty. Four offences were charged against the bank-
rupts. 1. That from the commencement of their business
they propped their credit by accommodation bills. 2.
That some of those bills were drawn cn persons whom
they knew to be men of straw, and also drawn artfully so
as to appear like good trade bills. 3. That they raised
money at most extravagant rates of usury ; and 4. That
they deluded Messes. Dillon and Co. into giving them ex-
tended credit, by utterly false representations. His ho-
nour pronounced them guilty on each of these charges.
They began by laying out about £3,000 beyond their capi-
tal on their premises, and were consequently in want of
money as early as Sept., 1840, when they drew an
accommodation bill. Soon after a regular systematic
system of drawing such bills was established; and they
drew bills on a person named Tucker, a mere shopman,
with a trifling salary, giving them a false residence, and
making them payable at Messrs. Barclays, where he had
no account. To make the cheat more effectual, the ac-
ceptances were written in pale ink. Becoming more and
more involved, they raised money at a ruinous rate of in-
terest. In one instance they had paid for a loan at the
rate of 170 per cent. ; in another 100 per cent. per annum.
In March, 1843, in order to procure an extended credit
from Messrs. Morrison, Dillon, and Co., they made a
false representation of the whole state of their affairs, and
thus gained their point. Their circumstances were at the
time hopeless. Considering the whole of their reckless
manner of rahing money, the fraudulent nature t f some of
the accommodation bills they drew, and the magnitude of
the whole case, his honour said he should not be doing his
duty to the public if he were to allow those certificates
earlier than the 31st July, 1848, which would be five
years from the date of the first fiat against them. Upon
an application by the bankrupts for protection, it was
granted them for twelve months.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

THE LINEN DRAPERY TRADE : IMPORTANT Juno-
MENT.—On the 30th ult., in the case of Willis and Davy,
linen-drapers, Oxford-street, London, after repeated exa-
minations in relation to the bankrupts' extraordinary mode
of carrying on business, Mr. Commissioner Fane delivered
his judgment upon their application for their certificate.
These bankrupts, said his honour, began business in May,
1840, with £1375 capital, and failed in July, 43, owing
£22,647, their assets having realised £7,524. Only one
assignee appeared, and bas thus faithfully performed his
duty. Four offences were charged against the bank-
rupts. 1. That from the commencement of their business
they propped their credit by accommodation bills. 2.
That some of those bills were draw❑ on persons whom
they knew to be men of straw, and also drawn artfully so
as to appear like good trade bills. 3. That they raised
money at most extravagant rates of usury ; and 4. That
they deluded Messrs. Dillon and Co. into giving them ex-
tended credit, by utterly false representations. His ho-
nour pronounced them guilty on each of these charges.
They began by laying out about £3,000 beyond their capi-
tal on their premises, and were consequently in want of
money as early as Sept., 1840, when they drew an
accommodation bill. Soon after a regular systematic
system of drawing such bills was established; and they
drew bills on a person named Tucker, a mere shopman,
with a trifling salary, giving them a false residence, and
making them payable at Messrs. Barclays, where he had
no account. To make the cheat more effectual, the ac.
ceptances were written in pale ink. Becoming more and
more involved, they raised money at a ruinous rate of in-
terest. In one instance they had paid for a loan at the
rate of 170 per cent. ; in another 100 per cent. per annum.
In March, 1843, in order to procure an extended credit
from Messrs. Morrison, Dillon, and Co., they made a
false representation of the whole state of their affairs, and
thus gained their point. Their circumstances were at the
time hopeless. Considering the whole of their reckless
manner of rait.ing money, the fraudulent nature cf some of
the accommodation bills they drew, and the magnitude of
the whole case, his honour said he should not be doing his
duty to the public if he were to allow those certificates
earlier than the 31st July, 1848, which would he five
years from the date of the first fiat against them. Upon
an application by the bankrupts for protection, it was
granted them for twelve months.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-09-10

The names of those saved from the brig were—William
Ilichell, mate, (badly hurt); William Cover, and John
Martin, seamen; John Craig, cook and steward. Ano-
ther man. whose name we could not learn, was also saved.
Those drowned were— Wilson, the captain ;
Alexander Stewart, second mate ; George Coates, sea-
man ; also the carpenter and an ordinary seaman. The
captain was, it is stated, a married man, and has left his
wife and fire children in this town to deplore his loss.
A subcriptio❑ was immediately entered into on board
the steamer, on behalf of the survivors, and, we learn,
very soon amount d to about i 7,10.
The only damage sustained by the Iron Duke was the
carrying away of her bowsprit, and a slight but not dan-
gerous leak.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 6.

We have not had so flat a market for some time as during the
past week : the demand has been very limited, and a greater
degree of impatient e shown by cur holders in their desire to
realize, which has produced unsteady and in egutar prices; and
therefore, for American and Surat we reduce our quotations, as
compared with those of Friday last, fully id per lb ; although
other kinds are heavy of sale, the change in price is not worth
notice. No further information. has been received from the
States, bearing upon the present position of the market, beycnd
that Mentioned in our last circular; therefore we forbear fur-
ther comment.—Exporters have taken 0k 00 bales of American,
but specu:ators nothing. '1 here has been rather more inquiry
to-day, and the sales are about 5000 bales of all kinds, with
priced rather more steady.

HILOS O P H Y

Rich and poor—great and small,
Listen—this concerns Tou all;
From the homely rustic shed,
To the palace richly spread !
All will useful lessons see,
In this—our brief Epitome!

"No man acquainted with life can be ignorant of the improve-
ment which genteel apparel produces in the carriage, tone of
thought, and principles of an individual. It gives a man confi-
dence, self-respect, and a sense of equality with his companions ;
it inspires him with energy, independence, delicacy of sentiment,
courtesy of manner, and elevation of language. The face becomes
manly, bold, end free; the brow open, and the eye clear. There
is no slinking through narrow lanes and back streets, but, on the
contrary, the smoothly-dressed man steps out with a daermitiation
not to spare the earth, or to walk as if he trod on knives and razors.
No ! he brushes onwards—is the first to accost his friends—gives
a careless bow to this, a bluff nod to that, and a patronizing' How
d' ye do ?* to a third, who is worse dressed than himself. Trust
me, kind reader, that good clothes are calculated to advance a man
in life nearly as well as good principles, especially in a world like
this, where external appearances are taken as the exponent of
what is beneath them."

Now this is the mighty importance of clothes!
And therefore a word of advice we propose:
At once go to "Tam's," and there you'll acquire
Whatever your fancy may wish to desire
Whilst a double advantage you likewise attain,
For at half the trade prices good clothes you obtain
And believe ma by acting upon this suggestion,
dppearance you gain to the point now in question!
So by a small sum at " B. -RYA M.S" expended,
You'll find all your prospects surprisingly mended !!

5000 SHOOTING COATS, in endless variety, from
Bs. 6d. each.
3000 WATERPROOF WRAPPERS. of the most fa-
shionable materials, from 9s. 6d. each.

ment is made ; any Article Exchanged which is not

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

On Wednesday the usual monthly meeting of the Town
Council was held at the Town-hall.

THE WATERLOO HOTEL.

The proceedings of the Finance Committee having been
read,
Mr. Nicol, said he observed by those proceedings, that
the Waterloo Hotel, Ranelagh-street, had been offered
for sale to the committee, and that the offer was rejected.
He wished to know whether that rejection had arisen
from the price asked being unreasonable, or whether be-
cause of any legal or financial objection being in the way.
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE replied, that the question as to
any unreasonableness in price had not been considered, as
the committee did not think it one of those purchases
which they could recommend the council to adopt.
Mr. Nicol, said his reason for asking was, not to in-
quire the price, but to ascertain whether it was an under-
stood thing on the part of the committee that they were to
decide against the purchase generally of buildings in the
town which might be required for the widening of streets,
or whether it was the unreasonableness of price which de-
terred them from accepting the present offer.
Mr. G. 11. LAWRENCE said the committee had not at-
tempted to dictate to the council on the subject. He ad-
mitted that here and there there might be purchases most
eligible for the council to make ; but the present was not
one of them. It had, however, been put on the proceed-
ings, in order that any member who pleased might make
his own observations on the subject. The committee had
declined to purchase, because they were of opinion that a
sufficient extent of improvement would not be thereby
gained. The council were aware that the Waterloo Hotel
was in a valuable situation, and that its purchase would
cost a large sum of money.
The proceedings were confirmed.
ORANGEISM, THE WATCH COMMITTEE, AND THE
MAGISTRACY.

The proceedings of the Watch Committee contained a
report from the Town-clerk, together with the case and
opinion of counsel, touching the powers of the Watch
Committee and Magistracy respectively, as to orangeism
in the borough constabulary force. The following was
