LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL.

TIIE monthly meeting of the Council was held on Wed—
nesday, J. B. Lloyd, Esq., Mayor, presiding. The meeting
was also made special for the purpose of considering the
prposed dock extension scheme. _

I.IIIE FINANCE COMMITTEE, in its proceedings,. recom-
mended setting aside the amounts required by the Borough
Fund Acts as a redemption fund, in respect of moneys
authorised to be borrowed under that act ; to purchase,
for the sum of £6OO, a freehold house on the east side or
Drury-lane ; to purchase a leasehold interest on one front
house in New Bird-street, and a back house, for the sum
of £220. The report of the committee contained a reso-
lution authorising the Town-clerk to wait upon the
to confer with him with respect to the applica-
tion to have a, conveyance placed at the disposal of jurors
for taking them to various parts of the town in the dis-
charge of their duties • and the report thereon by the
Town-clerk, stating that he had had an interview with
the Coroner, and that, in consequence of his representa-
tion, the committee recommended that the accommodation
be provided at the direction of the coroner, when, in his
judgment, the number of cases, and the distances to be
travelled, rendered such accommodation necessary, the
accounts for the same being subject to the discretion of
the committee.

The TOWN-CLERK stated that the resolutions forming a
redemption fund were compulsory by the act, whicht
required that not less than two per cent. over and above the
interest of the amount borrowed should be set aside as a
•edemption fund ; and that it was proposed, in this case;
it not less than two per cent., in respect of the
£130,000 to be borrowed for the new landing-stage, and
£90,000 for the purposes of St. George's-hall.
Mr. BIGHIM said it was generally supposed that St

all had been built out of the surplus fund of
ation. How much, he asked, had been bor-

rowed ?

—The proceedir

igs of the

Lighting, Fire-police, and Fire-prevention Com-
comprised recommendation to advance the salary
'arkinson, keeper of the main bridewell, from £22a

to £250 per annum, the consideration of which was post-
poned at the last monthly Council, pursuant to
_the

standing orders ; recommendation to increase the salary
of John Hewitt, superintendent of fire-police, from £l2oinnum ; recommendation to pass by-laws for
and lu

the regulation of errand, mes _
Mr. TOBIN moved that Mr. Parkinson's salary be increased'
from £220 to £240 per annum.—Mr. J. H. Tußrcm
moved, and Mr. Fs RNIEWOO-11 seconded, that the salary
be increased to £27o.—Mr. BRA.NCIEER and Mr. HoEmir

age porters.—

vocated the increase.—The amendment was put to the
vote, and lost by 19 to 26.—The increase to £250, as pro-
posed by the committee, was then approved.—Mr. Toimr
proposed that the salary of Mr. Hewitt be increased to
Prin- I £2=

), which was adopted.-On the proposition of Mr.
ToniN, the by-laws brought before the last meeting 7 were

means of cheating the unwary, were brought under the
notice of the council by Mr. Fernihough. Mr. Tobin,chair-

man of the Watch Coinmittee, undertook to have all done
which the law warrants, in abating this nuisance, and the
subject dropped.
-- _ _ _ .

150CIC EiCTENSION.-The subject of the vast dock-exten-
sion scheme was brought under consideration of the council
by Mr. C. TURNER, chairman of the Dock Committee, on
reading the minutes of the Dock Committee'sproceedinge.
a- I In introducing the subject, he referred, in the first ins

book on

stance,
As-

ceding day, in ;vhich the association- expresses its Col-
lective conviction of the pressing necessity for a speedy
extension of the dock accommodation ; and its approba-
tion of the scheme proposed by the sub-committee, and. re-
commended by the Dock Committee. An attempt was
then made to adjourn any discussion on the subject till
Monday, on the ground that sufficient time had not been

afforded to consider so important a matter in all its bear-
ings. On a division, this suggestion was negatived by n
mpjority of 31 votes to 16. After some further prelimi-
nary discussion, Mr. Turner proceeded with a lengthened
statement of the scheme and its relative bearings, most of
which had been previously elucidated and discussed at the
meetings of the Dock Committee. He moved the adoption
of the committee's report, and proposed the following re-
solution : " The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the
Dock Committee, since they were before the council on
the 2nd August, having been read ; and a communication
from the Shipowners' Association having also been read,
—Resolved, that the said proceedings be and are hereby
approved, ratified, and comfirmed, save that so far as
respects any proceedings, resolutions, and reports relating
to the extended dock accommodation, and improvement
of the dock estate, this council, as trustees of tbe Liver-
pool Docks, approves and confirms only the principle that
dock-extension is now required. - 3 1--

_ —, and sanctions the pro-
posed purchases of land, and an application to parliament
in the course of the next session for that purpose, and for
raising the necessary funds, reserving for further considera-
tions all questions of detail, howsoever arising thereunder"
—The adoption of the resolution was seconded by Mr. Al-
derman SHAND, who argued the necessity of executing the
proposed scheme from the greatly extended and still
rapidly extending trade of the port, which had been twice
doubled within the last thirty years, and affords a fair
reason for believing that it will be again doubled in the
course of the next fifteen years.—Mr. HALUEAD disputed
the accuracy of the statement adduced in favour of the
scheme. He also expressed his disapprobation of the
intended removal of the timber trade from the south to
the north end of the docks.—Mr. HOLT argued the pro-
priety of the dock committee acquiring the land, and then
exercising a wise discretion in carrying out the details of
the dock scheme.—Mr. Alderman PARKER advocated the
propriety of the scheme, and reminded the council that
the question was not of south end or north end, not one of
class interest, but of dock extension. He contended that
the south end docks would be wanted, as the chairman
had said, for other purposes more valuable than that of
the timber trade, and that both the Corporate Estate and
the south end, would be benefited by the removal of
that trade northwards. He hoped the council would
sanction the purchase of the land, as every dock would
be brought before them afterwards in detail. One
word as to Mr. Bramley-Moore. He (Mr. Parker) recol-
lected when Mr. Moore, for his advocacy of the north
extension, was characterised as insane and mad. They
were now, however, taking a step which would show
what Mr. Moore was the wisest man in Liverpool, and
tperfectly competent to fill the position in which he was
placed.—Mr. BIGNAM, in strong terms, deprecated the
proposed compulsory terms sought to bo imposed by the
Earl of Derby in relation to the disposal of the laud. He
went at great length into various portions of the scheme.
—Mr. Alderman BENNETT expressed his satisfaction as to
the explanations given in relation to the land.—Mr.
M`NicoLL admonished the council as to the danger of
being over sanguine in expectation of great results from
such projects as that under consideration ; and expressed
strong disapprobation of any compulsory terms being sub-
mitted to by the dock committee in reference to purchasing-
the land.—Mr. TOBIN, Mr. JAIL HOLME, and Mr. Tu-EsEz
severally made a few observations, and the resolution was
passed without a division. _ _ _

OPENING OF ST. GEORGE'S-HALL.— Mr. STEWART
stated that after Saturday no person (not even if accom-
panied by a member of the council) could be admitted into
the hall, owing to the cleaning and washing operations.
WATER COMMITTEE.—The proceedings embraced re-
commendation that Charles Gibson and John R. Roberts,
collectors of the third class, be promoted to the second
class, their salaries and poundage respectively being calcu-
lated at £lBO per annum. Recommendation to increase
the wages of the following enginemen—namely, Daniels
Needham, Bush-station, from 225. to 245. per week;
Joseph Jones, Hotham-street station, from 265. to 28s. per
week ; Wm. Owens, Water-street station, 225. to 245. per
week ; Maurice Evans, Soho station, 225. to 245. per week;
the consideration of which was postponed at the last
monthly council, pursuant to the standing orders. Re-
commendation to accept the tender of Messrs. Edingtoni
and Sons, for 18, 21, and 24 inch pipes. The only portion
of the proceedings discussed was that relating to the con-
tract for pipes, which Mr. HOLT stated would be about
£20,000. This portion of the report was confirmed, lima
at half-past four o'clock the council was counted out.

SHOCKING MURDER AT CORK.—Eliza Warn r, an el—
derly woman, has been brutally wounded at Cork by Cor—
nelius Mullane, her son-in-law, a returned convict, whoa
had made some money before leaving Aussittnarbtalobiiaan.graOgisae.

SYMPATHY.—SOrrow, shared by two persons, becomes
much lighter—like Palmer's candle with two wicks.—
Punch.

An old toper was heard the other day advising a young
man to get married " because then, my boy, you'll have
somebody to pull off your boots when you go home drunk."

GIGANTIC STATUES, AND THEIR EFFECT ON ARCIII-
TECTURE.—The human figure, says Professor Cockerell,
must ever be the modulus and rule by which we estimate
the apparent dimension of every surrounding object.
Whether the image is in the dimension of a giant or of a
doll, it is always the human figure, varying from 5 to 6
feet, and imposes a criterion of dimensions to all that
surrounds it; thus the Egyptian Pharoah, 60 feet in
height (the great man signified by a great figure, seated
in the court of his temple-palace), defeated the work of
the architect, rendering it insignificant in the comparison,
Bulk may be a convenient escape from the labour of ex-
pression and of thought, but it ever betrays decline of
art. The colossus of Nero and that of Domitian, in
Rome, are signal examples of this disregard to the laws
regulating the associated arts in which the Greeks insisted;
and we msut admit it as a bad system of our actual times.
Artists of merit have fallen into this deplorable error.
Thorwalsden has sacrificed the palace at Stutgard to his
ambition in his statue of Schiller; the French sculptor, in
the decoration of the bridge of Louis XV. with the mar-
shals of France in enormous scale, has fallen into this
abuse, but was quickly so sensible of the disproportion,
that the marshals were removed thence to Versailles,
where, surrounding the vast space called Place d'Armes,
they still dwarf that mighty palace. Nor are our own
sculptors exempt from this vice in nearly every modern
instance, both in interior and exterior statues of our great
men. To the architect this practice is most obnoxious,
and ought to be visited with public reprobation. Cubical
contents offer no apology for want of art. Extra human
dimensions would add nothing to the effect of Charles I.
at Charing-cross, Queen Anne at St. Paul's, or the best
portrait statues of modern or ancient renown. 'Whenever
the portrait statues at Olympia exceeded life-size, Pausa-
nius takes care to mention it. The colossus of Rhodes, or
the bronze colossus of Minerva Promachos, in the Acro-
polis at Athens, were to be estimated on other considera-
tions, namely, as land-marks, calculated to the distant
view of a maritime community, in connection with the
surrounding hills or the ocean ships, and with reference
to the landscape. We may approve also that the Greeks,
in the interior of their temples, should exaggerate rela-
tive dimensions, when the art was employed to do honour
to the immortal gods, as at Olympia and at Athens : the
ivory and gold statues, 34 feet to 45 feet high, occupied
the entire nave of the temple, and the religious purpose
and the homage to the Deity was the accepted apology
for the practice; nor can the effect be doubted, for we are
told that Paulus Amilins, the Roman conqueror, rad%
though he was, so sensibly felt the sublime of the Jupiter
of Phidias, that, for the first time, he burst into a flood of
tears.—The Builder.
