THE ROAD COMMITTEE

MALLABY read the proceedings of this committee,
from which it appeared that the owners of property in Price-
street and Beckwith-street were constructing sewers in those
streets, and that the Road Committee had directed the sur-
veyor to inspect the works as they proceeded, without the
owners having given any notice to the commissioners, or the
streets being upon the towns books as public streets. Mr.
Maßaby, after reading the proceedings, submitted, with

THE REVENUE

The abstract of the net produce of the revenue in the
years and quarters ending sth January, 1841, and 1842, was
published on Wednesday, and is satisfactory, as showing a
gradual, though only a small improvement in the public
finances. The increase for the year terminating on Wednes-
day is £506,095, of which £338,549 accrued during the last
quarter. Every source of ordinary revenue during 1841,
with the exception of stamps and crown lands, has slightly
improved; while, during the last quarter, the customs ex-
hibit the very considerable augmentation of £411,368.
Though the falling off in the excise during the quarter is
large, it must be recollected that the excise for the quarter
ending the 10th of October, 1841, had exhibited an increase.
In stamps, which are a sure test of the extent of business
transactions, there is an increase; as also in taxes, crown
lands, post-office, and miscellaneous. It is very satisfactory
to notice the very marked improvement in the sugar duties,
during the two last quarters of the past year; this improve-
ment bears out the predictions of Sir Robert Peel, Mr. W.
E. Gladstone, and the other ministerial opposers of a re-
duction of duty on foreign sugar.
The improvement in the customs revenue is, we trust, a
sign that the commercial stagnation under which the country
laboured during the greater part of 1841 is gradually passing
away under the influence of conservative government.

HULL CORN MARKET, JAN. 'l,

The Corn trade here during the past welik has been nearly at a
stand, almost without a business transaction in any description.
We do not therefore alter our quotations for any article of grain.
Linseed and Rapeseed are both unaltered in value, and the demand
for them exceedingly limited; Linseed Cake, Rape Cake, and
Bones partake of the general dulness, and the business passing in
any of them trifling, but where sales arc made my quotations arc
paid. In addition to this particular period (wherein there is
generally less than usual passing), there is a languor and heaviness
hanging over the trade ; nor can much, if any impetus be given
either in value or demand until something definite is generally
known what ministers intend to do with the present Corn-laws.
To-day's market is met by very few country buyers—we have con-
sequently a limited trade for old foreign Wheat, and prices without
alteration ; but, could any business be done, lower prices would be
submitted to. The farmer's supply is moderate, and the millers
supply their wants on the best conditioned parcels, at a trifle below
last week's prices—all qualities below this description are fully 1
per quarter lower than last week. Very few Beans offering, and
the demand for them limited. Oats are offering freely, and arc
bought with rather less money. Fine malting Barley cannot be
bought to • day any lower than last week, but the great bulk offering
is of very middling quality, and scarcely saleable by submitting
even to very low prices.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 4

The demand for Cotton to-day has -been only a .moderate
one to the extent of 2500 bales at yesterday's prices, with a
very firm and steady market. " Old Cotton ' is becoming
scarce, the bulk of that offering is of the new crop, and by no
means in great favour with the generality of buyers, owing. in
a great measure, to the inferior manner it is got up.

COTTON MARKET, JANUARY G.
The improved tone and feeling in our Cotton market noticed for
the last week or two has continued, and there is decidedly a healthi-
ness about it that is more satisfactory to both buyer and seller,
enabling them to transact business in a more coafidential manner
than has been the case of late. The Indian news by the overland
mail this evening, is not of au exciting nature, and ought to have
no material effect upon our market : to keep it steady and firm
should be the desire of all parties, and spinners can do this by
coming only for their immediate wants. This would keep specu-
lators at bay, and prevent any sudden rise in the market, which
always recoils upon the consumer with doable power. Yesterday
4000 bales were sold, and to-day about the same quantity, all to
the trade. Common Surats more plentiful, and rather easier to
tray than last week.

)n of the hero's landing in Ireland stance

LAYCOCK observed that Mr. Cole had stated in the
first place that the Surveyor reported that the work was not
done according to the commissioners rules; now, he wanted
to know how often be reported after that ?
Mr. COLE replied that the Surveyor reported that he had
visited, and was satisfied with the construction of the work.
Mr. APPLETON said the work was progressing in a way
that was not satisfactory to him, and he found fault with it.
He was anxious it should be done properly, otherwise serious
expense might have been incurred, but he was'not aware that
there was any point of law to stop the committee.
Mr. COLE complained of the non-attendance of the clerk
at the meetings of the Road Committee, to record the pro-

\ .
ceedings.
Mr. JACKSON asked the law clerk a question, with regard
to the power of the commissioners to fill up the cellar-holes.
Mr. MALLABY replied, that any holes made in the public

missioners might fill up without any notice, and charge the
party with the expenses of it As to any holes in the public

streets before that time, or any nuisance, such as projecting
steps, the commissioners could not remedy them without
expense. Ile suggested, however, that all such cases should
be adjudicated upon by the general body before proceedings.

pen se
Mr. GREEN suggested, that whenever any thing was re-
commended to be done by the Road Committee, they should
also send an estimate of the expense. If there was any
committee of that body which required a great deal of look-
ing after, it was the Road Committee.
Mr. JACKSON said, he liked vastly this perpetual rapping
at the Road Committee ; but he would say that this com-
mittee bad hard work to do.
Mr. GREEN : No doubt—because you do a great deal too

bought with rather less money. Fine malting Barley cannot be
bought to day any lower than last week, but the great bulk offering
is of very middling quality, and scarcely saleable by submitting
even to very low prices.

MARKET COMMITTEE

This committee's proceedings being read, Mr. JACKSON
pointed out the necessity of the prison being better lighted.
The proceedings were confirmed with the understanding that
the subject of complaint should receive attention.

NUISANCES

The LAW-CLERK reported, that after much discussion it
had been arranged that Mr. Ball should plead guilty to the
indictment preferred against him, upon condition of being
allowed till the Ist of June to repair the road, and if he did
not do it then, the commissioners should do it and charge
him with the expense. The court were applied to for the
costs of the prosecution, and although it was resisted the
court granted it, for they directed Mr. Ball to pay the costs.
In answer to a question from Mr. COLE, it was stated that
notices had been served upon Mr. Stephenson to remove an
alleged nuisance on his premises in Church-street, but no
further steps had been taken in the matter.

r
Mr. COLE and other commissioners called upon the
general body to follow up the notices by a prosecution.
The meeting then separated.

he was in some •difficulty, because his brother committee-
men might think he was acting with partiality. He listened
to Mr. Hodgson, and at last said, the letter should not go.
His impression was, that he had carried it away with him,
but there were two copies, and he took away the wrong
one ; but that letter was never signed by him.

Mr. MOLYNEUX then replied very briefly, and the coun-
cil divided on the amendment, when there appeared

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 4

We continue to have but a very dull trade in our Corn market for
the past week, and only the hfst descriptions of grain were attended
to. Oats is a most difficult sale at the reduction of Friday. Oat.
meal rules dull at the quotations. The receipts of Flour are still
on the increase, particularly new, which is almost unsaleable ; old
and mixed Flour are a moderate vend at last days's rates ; inferiors
and thirds a slow sale.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1842-01-07

ItEVE!,

The abstract of the net produce of the revenue in the
years and quarters ending sth January, 1841, and 1812, was
published on Wednesday, and is satisfactory, as showing a
gradual, though only a small improvement iu the public
finances. The increase for the year terminating on Wednes-
day is £306,095, of which £338,549 accrued during the last
quarter. Every source of ordinary revenue during 1841,
with the exception of stamps and crown lands, has slightly
improved; while, during the last quarter, the customs ex-
hibit the very considerable augmentation of £414,368.
Though the falling off in the excise during the quarter is
large, it must be recollected that the excise for the quarter
ending the 10th of October, 1811, had exhibited an increase.
In stamps, which area sure test of the extent of business
transactions, there is an increase ; as also in taxes, crown
lands, post-office, and miscellaneous. It is very satisfactory
to notice the very marked improvement in the sugar duties,
during the two last quarters of the past year; this improve-
ment bears out the predictions of Sir Robert Peel, Mr. W.
E. Gladstone, and the other ministerial opposers of a re-
duction of duty on foreign sugar.
The improvement in the customs revenue is, we trust, a
sign that the commercial stagnation under which the country
laboured during the greater part of 1841 is gradually passing
away under the influence of conservative government.
