arose from the price of food. The evil, he contended, would
be most materially obviated by a free importation of corn.
Mr. JAMES questioned Mr. Wallace's prudence and dis-
cretion, and believing that government would, during the
recess. turn its attention to alleviate, in every practicable way,
the distress prevailing, would vote against the resolutions.
Lord Howrcx said he was not inclined to vote for the mo-
tion of Mr. Wallace, believing that such an inquiry as he pro-
posed could not lead at the present time to any practical ad-
vantages. Parliament had so recently decided, by larg!! ma-

jorities, a

gainst the measures which his side of the

thought advantageous, that he could see no advantage in de-
laying the prorogation on account of the prevailing distress.:

disappointed in its hopes of a gradual restoration of prospe-
rity, they would call Parliament together before the cicse of

the year. He could not look to the approaching winter with-
out considerable apprehension, nor could he conceal from
himself the probability that this distress might operate roost
prejudicially on the political opinions of the people. Indeed,
he had received a letter, which stated that a feeling was gain-
ing ground, that it was becoming a matter of necessity that
the middle classes should unite themselves with the chartists.
Mr. MORRISON believed there was no part of the world to
which manufacturers could at present export with profit. He
saw, however, no grounds for believing that this state of things
would continue very long, or any reason for despair, so long
as our skill remained unrivalled, and our supply of coal un-
exhausted. The cause of the slackness of trade was, that
foreign countries could not take more of our manufactures,
because, as we would not take their corn, they had no means
of buying from us. This was the case with America. This
was also the case with the Brizils, though no doubt other
causes also tended to increase the depression of trade thus
created. The trade with China was open thus far, that they
let us have their tea, but they took none of our manufactures
in return. He had no doubt that the dispute with China
would be speedily settled, for our soldiers and sailors must
succeed, but it remained to be seen whether they would be-
come better customers in consequence of our beating them.
Mr. G. PALMER said it was not the price of corn which
had caused the distress, but the vicious system under which
our manufactures had been carried on, forcing trade beyond

its just limits,_ until every market in the world was over-
stocked. _ . . _ _ . _

MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT

Mr. PARKER then moved an adjournment, it being three
o'clock.
Mr. EARLE seconded the motion.

The MAYOR requested of the council to remain a short
time longer, as there were some reports and memorials which
it was necessary to have despatched.
The council remained accordingly.

THE QUEEN V. HARVEY

The TOWN-CLERK reported that the case of the Quetn v.
Harvey now waited for the arrangement approved by the
council being carried into effect, according to which, upon
the opinion now expressed by the Court of Queen's Bench,
a judgment of ouster would have to be entered by consent,
without further litigation ; and that this formal conclusion
was in course of completion. Until this was done there
could not be an election of a new alderman.

PROPERTY AND INCOME TAX

The TOWN-CLERK next drew the attention of the council
to the thirty-second section of the Property and Income
Tax, by which the mayor, aldermen, and common council,
or any three or more, not exceeding seven, were constituted
commissioners for executing the act in relation to the public
offices and employments of profit in the corporation. He
said that by the thirty-third section it appeared that the
election of the u.embers to constitute the number, not ex-
ceeding seven, would have to be made by the council within
one calendar month after the passing of the act—the 22d of
June last. This would make it desirable that there should
be a special council appointed.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 5,

Only a moderate demand again to-day ; about 2,000 bales
sold at yesterday's prices. As yet the Indian news has had
no effect upon our market. Holders are willing sellers.
Buyers only purchase for their immediate wants.

COTTON MARKET, JULY 7

There has not been the slightest change in our Cotton market
this week, it has maintained throughout the same dull and
inanimate appearance. On Tuesday,the transactions barely reached
2,000 bales, yesterday 4,000, and to-day, about the same quantity
all to the trade, with the exception of some little for export. The
overland news seems to have no effect here, though its intelligence
gave a more cheerful aspect to the countenances of commercial
gents in Manchester, on Tuesday last.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC ASYLUM.

Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said he had been guilty of a slight
irregularity in his opening .statement. He had told the
Council that the Finance Committee had refused the applica-
tion for a grant of land to the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum.
It appeared that the committee had not actually refused the
application, but that they had entered the statement on their
books, and referred the whole subject to the Council. It
would, therefore, require a formal vote ; and he would move
with this view, that the council are advised that they cannot
legally comply with the prayer of the memorial.
Sir T. BRANCKER seconded the motion, and it was carried.
THE MAYOR'S COMMUNICATIONS.

The MAYOR read a memorial complaining of a nuisance in
Prince 'William-street. It was referred to the Finance Com-
mittee. He read a memorial from the Rev. Thomas Carter,
on behalf of the Liverpool Benevolent Society for reclaiming
unfortunate females, and soliciting assistance. It was re-
ferred to the Finance Committee. He also read a letter from
Mr. Statham, containing the amount of unclaimed money at
the Court of Requests. It was referred to the Court of Re-
quests' Committee.
The Council adjourned at ten minutes to three o'clock.

PURCHASE OF AN ENGINE

The SURVEYOR requested permission. to order a steam
engine for the purpose of driving piles, on which to erect the
walls of the new dock, in order to expedite the works. He
had made enquiry, and had found three or four engines on
sale, which would answer the purpose.
Mr. EVANS enquired how much piling was already done?
The SURVEYOR said it had scarcely been begun.
Mr. II OLMES asked the surveyor what lie could get a 20
horse power engine for ?
The SURVEYOR in reply, said he had been asked £4ll for
a new engine of that size, delivered on the spot.
A resolution was then passed authorising the surveyor to
procure an engine of twenty horse-power.

CLARENCE SOUTH GRAVING DOCK.

The CHAIRMAN reported that the chairman of the Ship-
builders' Association was from home. The surveyor there-
fore had not received from him the drawings of this graving
dock ; but he expected the matter would come again before
the committee next week.
