Nor could rejected conscience claim the power To improve the respite of one serious hour I durst not look to what I was before, My soul shrank back and wished to be no more.

The claims and objections for the townships of Everton and Kirkdale were first deposed of, after whioh those for West Dorby were taken, ifte objections were of the same character as those which came before the court on the first day, and resulted merely the rectification of the number or the misdirection. So numerous, indeed, were the objections on account of the numbers of the houses, that Mr. Brether-ton suggested that the court should not for the future require the insertion of the numbers of houses outside the immediate town of Liverpool.

The corporation were empowered by law, he believed, to number all the houses within the borough, but whenever they omitted to do so, the inhabitants themselves bad numbered them. If they had numbered them wrong, it was not their fault, and therefore it was hard that they should be thus brought trom their business to attend the court oa such trivial objectionsobjections which they themselves had done all in their power to obviate. Mr. Bremner said that the court could make no suoh rule, as the act of parliament distinctly required that the number of the house should be set forth. The court asked if the oorporatidTi were empowered by law to number all the houses in- the borough.

Mr. Bremner said he thought not but Mr. Bretherton believed that they did bo under a bye-law which, of course, when adopted, was as as any law. No rule was made in the matter. The town-elerk.

We are sorry to learn that the institution is much in debt, and that the number of inmates has been considerably reduced for want of support. Subscriptions and donations, also washing and plain sewing for the inmates which we understand is well done, and on moderate terms are respectfully requested by the committee, to enable them to keep open the institution. Five applicants were refused admission on Tuesday last, for want of funds. We shall, of course, be very glad to receive any subscriptions in aid of the institution.

Attempted Suicide. On Tuesday last, Peter Hau-buck, a German, 23 years of ago, jumped off the Prince's pier into the river.

A report has reached our office, to the effect that a lugger which left this port on Friday night last was run down shortly after off Douglas-head, by another lugger, which also left this port the same tide.

Sailing of the Merlin. -The Merlin, of the Fox" line of Australian packets, sailed for Melbourne and Svd-ney ou Tuesday, with a full complement of passengers in every class. The owners (Messrs. Magee and Livingston) had to refuse several persons who applied for berths in this fine ship, as they ware determined not to overcrowd the vessel, allowing all comfort and convenience to a certain number only. The Merlin rode out the gale of Sunday the river in first-rate style, and was towed out on Tuesday evening, amid the cheers of hundreds who had assembled to witness her departure.

She returned the salute by discharging four guns. She made her former voyage out in 89 days, and it is expected she will make a first-rate run this trip. Zoological Gardens. This is the last gala day of the season at this popular establishment, which announcement alone will doubtless draw a crowded attendance but the fact that it is Mr. John Atkins's benefit will add considerable eclat to the occasion, and we sincerely hope it will be a bumper.

Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Mr. Durandu, the proprietor, for the very liberal manner in which he has catered for the amusement of the public, having presented a series of entertainments quite unprecedented at these gardens. From the programme put forth for the evening it appears he is determined to make it every way worthy of the closing night. In addition to a grand vocal and instrumental concert (in which Mr. Emidy's splendid brass band, augmented to 26 performers, will appear, and also Miss E.

L. Williams, the Welsh Nightingale), Mons. Leclerq's popular ballet company will play an entirely new ballet, in which the celebrated danseuse Miss Laura Leclerq will appear; there will alsobe a ball, at which 25 musicians will officiate. The gardens will be beautifully illuminated, and the name of Mr. John Atkins will be quite a sufficient guarantee for the display of fireworks which may be expected on this occasion.

We would therefore advise all those who have the opportunity not to miss the last occasion which they will nave during the present year of visiting these gardens, or at least of participating in the amusements.

Mr. Robinson said the account had always been so debited The chairman remarked that Mr. Austin, in making out the account, placed 383,000 as the amount debited to the cost of the warehouses.

The average profit of the three ysfctrs was 18,393, or 4vfo per cent, per annum on that coat, a quarter per cent, to be added for implements which they still had the use of. Mr. Bigham thought it should be put in another light. Last year the net profit was 16,363 which, on 383,000, would give and Is. or 2s.

per cent. while they were paying 4 per cent, for the money instead of having a surplus, tliey would be losing money. The chairmaii said they had been losing this year in consequence of not raising the labour rates. Mr. Robinson remarked that Mr.

Bigham seemed to forget the materials. Mr. Bigham The rental does not pay the interest of the money. The chairman said they could not raise and lower rates every month or two, as it would be iu opposition to the act of parliament. It might, perhaps, be a matter for consideration whether they should get the act altered.

Mr. Robinson remarked that it was found that 20 per cent, would cover the additional cost of labour. Mr. Bigham said the chairman had urged that the rates should be as low as possible, in order to encourage the trade of the port but if 383,000 was laid out on a property, they ought to have a sufficient return to cover the interest of the money bor-roiyed, and for depreciation of property. If they gotthat which all private owners obtained, they would then not only have an adequate return, but act 'justly toward private interests.

By letting the property at a less price than would cover those items, they were bringing public property to bear injuriously on private interests. No one could object to the rates being raised to give a fair return for the money expended. Mr. Brocklebank thought the next year would show a very different account. If tney raised the rates, though some articles might beari it, it would be the means of half emptying the wre-houses, and placing them in a worse position.

The chairman said there was no intention to work the warehouses so as to interfere with private warehouses. It was only during the last three months that the warehouses had been full. Mr. Bigham It is quite clear the warehouses cost too much to give us an adequate return. Mr.

Shand: They did cost too much. Mr. Bigham Then it is not very encouraging to go on building more warehouses. Mr. Shand admitted that they eost too much, and the committee had gained experience in building.

Mr. Bigham It was) dearly bought. Mr. Shand replied that it was not so dearly' bought. They would get a return for their money, and all future erections would be built at a much lower Brocklebank thought they ought not to separate the.

docks and warehouses. Mr. Gregson said the docks and warehouses produced 30,200. The Chairman Take the docks and warehouses together and they pay handsomely. Mr.

Shand said there was a great advantage in having warehouses round the docks. The matter then dropped. In reply to a question by Mr. Bigham, the surveyor stated that as regarded the progress of the warehouses at the Stanley dock they were on the seoond story; they would be completed by about Midsummer next. The time for the completion of the oontract would expire on the last day of November.

Mr. Shand said the contractors had had notice that the dock trust would come upon thein for the penalty alter the time they would not release them from it. An observation was made by Mr. Littledale relative to the channels, when it was stated that the surveyor thought a channel was opening out northward more favourable than the Victoria Channel in its best days. The harbour-masters com-r mittee recommended that Mr.

White, master of "the Coburg dock, be superannuated (he being unable to continue his duties) at 100 per annum; he had been thirty-three years in the employ of the dock committee. In reply to a question, the chairman stated that White had, when on duty, a salary of 180 per annum, 40 being allowed for a house. Mr. Bigham asked what right there was that he should have 100 per annum.

Fad. 0 0 ii 0 0 St. Jago del Cuba, mid. 0 On 0 0 Liverpool, rne insolvent acted as tne London shipping agent of the opposing creditors, and in that capacity received a bill of lading of a quantity of Swedish iron, which, on arrival, it was his duty to clear and forward to Liverpool. The insolvent, however, deposited the bill of lading with a person named Thomas, as collateral security for the due honour of a bill of exchange for 75 10s.

Upon the arrival of the iron Messrs. Bailey found that their bill of lading was thus pledged, and they had to pay Mr. ThomaB's claim and various costs, amounting, in the whole to 135, before they could recover their bill of lading. The insolvent, upon examination, admitted the transaction, but said he expected to have been able to redeem the bill of lading before the arrival of the iron. Mr Commissioner Murphy thought there had clearly been a breach of trust, an offence which had struck at the root of mercantile credit.

The insolvent ought to consider himself very indulgently treated by the opposing creditors," who might have indicted him for the misdemeanour. He could not be discharged by this court until he had been in custody for twelve calendar months from the date of the vesting order. An adjournment being necessary to complete a service, the formal adjudication was postponed. Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Meeting. The half-yearly general meeting of shareholders was held at the Royal Hotel, Chester, on Wednesday afternoon, John Williams, chairman, The secretary read the report, of which the following is an abstract.

The directors report that there has been a considerable increase in the traffic of the line during the half-year ending 30th June last. The total amount of goods and passenger traffic during the past half-year is 50,428 8s. which shows an increase of 38,822 tons, 30,660 passengers, and iu amount of receipts 6942 23. or 267 per week for the last half-year over the corresponding lialf-year in 1852. Although there has been this large increase in the total receipts, the amount received on the through traffic has considerably diminished, which is attributed partly to the London and North-western Company having practically reduced their passenger fares to a lower rate than is charged on our line, and partly to this company having lately declined to continue carrying a certain description of through traffic at the existing low rates.

The rise in the price of labour and materials has increased the working expenses of the line. The expenditure in the locomotive department will be very considerably reduced under the new arrangements which have been made. The directors anticipate a great increase of traffic on the opening of the line from Ludlow to Hereford and Abergavenny, which will take place in the course of the present half-year. From the accounts of this company it appears that they are authorised to raise 1,131,000 on shares, and 407,000 on mortgage total, 1,538,000. The amount raised on shares was on loan 407,000, leaving 151,140 to be raised on shares not created, and 10,414 on shares in the hands of the company, and from arrears of calls; together 161,554.

The capital account to the 30th of June shows that 1,379,025 had been received, and 1,438,673 expended, including 1,147,675 for the line and stations, 247,493 working stock, and 42,796 for interest on shares and loans, leaving a balance against the company of 59,647. The general balance sheet shows a total of 108,819, of which 20,095 is due to bankers, 2712 on acceptances, 53,194 to Messrs. T.

QENTLEiiEN, Having read in your copy of the 23d instant an article underthe heading of Customs Regulations," bearing oh the examination of free goods by the water-guard officers at this port, in justice to the parties so virulently and so basely libe led, we beg you will, in the spirit of fair play, give the following a place in your valuable journal.

In the first place, it is argued that the parties performing the duty of examining free goods at certain. docks are persons of the lowest position in society, whose only recommendation is that they have been in the habit of smoking and getting drunk in ships' forecastles, and are totally ignorant of the duty they have been directed to perform. To this our answer is, those officers were some time back selected from the tide department as men of sober habits, respectable appearance and address, possessing some ability, whose honest integrity had been well tested by day and night for years under many trials, temptations, and privations te which no other class is exposed, in the midst of which they have maintained unblemished characters. On this account alone they were promoted to superior duty. As to the manner in which the examination of free goods is being performed by them, they court the fullest inquiry, at the same time challenge any merchant or other person to point out a single instance in which he has been subject to inconvenience or delay at their hands and reference to the disgust expressed in the article alluded to as felt by merchants coming into contact with those officers, we attribute that foul calumny to its proper cause, as drowning men will grasp at straws, so our assailants, feeling chagrined and disappointed at the unexpected efficiency of the water-guard, and fearing to meet them 'face to face, either before a committee of merchants or deputation from the board, to discuss the case, or to put it in a straightforward, tangible shape, they covertly tly to the press, in the hope by a foul libel to prop! up their emmbhng fabric, and enlist public prejudice against a class of officers whose only crime is that, by meritorious conduct, ability, and experience, they have won their way to their position, which is hot the case with their assailants.

The article continues It was to one of those officers Mr. Brown, M.P., was indebted for the destruction of his property." How far that charge is substantiated appears by the sequel. A strict investigation having taken place, the whole proceedings were laid before the ohancellor of the exohequer. We will quote an extract from the document reoeived after the eiidence had been considered by that right honourable gentlemen, which will prove how that calumniated, misrepresented class, the water-guard performed their duties "Mr. Gladstone, the chancellor of the exchequer, has had under consideration the evidence taken upon tho recent investigation arising out of a complaint of Mr.

Brown, M.P., relative to the examination of ice-houses of the ship Baltic, in January, 1851, and Mr. Gladstone has expressed his satisfaction at finding that the issue of this inquiry is so entirely creditable to the officers of customs, as respects the discharge of their disagreeable duty on the occasion in question." In continuation, the article asserts it was in opposition to the inspector-general and seven landing surveyors the experiment was commenced. Of this we arequite aware, some of the last-named gentlemen not having had discretion enough to conceal the hostility of their feelings, of which we are daily witnesses. With reference to the assistance of weighers and porters being required to cook up the books, we fling the base assertion iu their teeth and beg to whisper in then- ears that surely those who dwell in glass houses Bhould not be the first to cast stones, therefore the less they say about cooking up" books, the better. There are many water-guard officers in this port who can unfold, tales respecting their assailants' department which will bring their modesty to the blush and as they have commenced the attack by a scandalous libel, we shall give them a few facts.

In trumpeting forth the superiority of their rank and education, and the pains successive governments have taken to select for those offices individuals whose position and integrity would be a guarantee for the safety of the revenue, they seem to forget there are high in their ranks persons who have Sprung from that class which, in common parlance, is dubbed flunkies." Bless the mark ins standard of acquirements neoessary for the performance ot their duty must certainly be of a high rating when, to use their own language, it is taught by weighers and portors-an admission on their parts which argues badly indeed and in charging the board with branding us as unfit for promotion to any superior gradej they must be reminded that in this port, and many others round the Kingdom, some ot the most practical useful officers of 48 0 63 0 Cutch, 00 0 0 0 s. s.

Mr. Gardner, chairman of the ward, introduced the business of the evening, anil after speaking for some time of the earnest, faithful, and satisfactory manner in which Mr. Woodruff had discharged his duties in the town council, called upon Mr. Norman, the honorary secretary, to read the requisition, which being done, Mr.

Woodruff rose to acknowledge the high and flattering compliment paid him by the electors of the ward, and particularly by so large and influential a deputation as then waited upon him. Mr. Woodruff dwelt at some length upon his connection with the ward for the last six years, confining himself principally to the duties of a representative, and concluded by stating that he accepted the requisition with honest pride and pleasure, and that should the electors of the ward again return him to the council his exertions would be redoubled for the interests of the ward and the town generally. The deputation, upon the invitation of Mr. Woodruff, then retired into an adjoining room, where there was a handsome "spread" and a right royal welcome.

The deputation consisted of about thirty gentleineu, who were conveyed in cars, starting from the committee-rooms, Castle Inn, Scotland-road. With signatures obtained and promises made, on a partial solicitation, it is said there are six or seven hundred of the electors already pledged to support Mr. Woodruff. Wedding Festivities at Liverpool and Guashere On Wednesday last, at Grasmere, Westmoreland, John Pilkington, merchant, of this town, was married to Elizabeth Hill Holme, daughter of James Holme, of Croft Lodge, Ambleside, and niece of Samuel Holme, mayor of Liverpool. The bride, who was most elegantly dressed, was attended to the altar by six bridesmaids, equally richly dressed in white tulle dresses, with bouquets of beautiful greenhouse plants of the most costly description.

The retinue consisted of a train of 17 carriages, most expensively mounted arches of evergreens and flowers were thrown over the gates of the churchyard and entrance to the church the union jack floated proudly in the breeze at the top of the steeple, and the bells rang a merry peal. The weather was very boisterous, notwithstanding which the churchyard and roads leading thereof were lined with hundreds of all classes spectators to witness the interesting event. His worship the mayor of Liverpool, with about 50 gentlemen and Mr. John Pilkington, left Liverpool ou Tuesday for the scene of the approaching ceremony, and were followed next day by another 50 of our leading merchants and brokers, desirous of being present on the happy occasion.

In reply to a question, the chairman said there was a resolution on the books with regard to retiring allowances, but it referred to new appointments. Mr. Bigham thought that even if they were justified in giving anything, 100 was a large sum was there any clause in an act of parliament which enabled them to give it? The solioitor replied that there was power to do it. Mr. Royden supported the grant, on the ground that it had been the custom to take care of old servants, and that was one reason why the committee had such an efficient staff.

The Chairman The system has been altered as regards the new servants. Mr. Shand said that niany of tho old servants had been in the habit of contributing to some fund for the insurance of their lives and if, when they beoame incapaoi tated from duty, no consideration was shown to them, they would be unable to maintain the premiums upon such insurances. Mr. Bigham said they ought to save up when they were well if they did not, they did not deserve any consideration whatever.

The chairman asked if Mr. Bigham intended to move any resolution, when he replied that he would not he was afraid he would not get a seconder. The recommendation was then confirmed. The resignation of J. R.

He then moved, seriatim, resolutions to the following effect, which were carried unanimously That the report be adopted that a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent, per annum be paid over the ordinary stock of the company that the dividend on the 8 per cant, and 5 per cent, preference stocks be made payable onthel4th of October; that Mr.

Trevor be re-elected auditor; that the appointment of Mr. John Nieholls as secretary, in the room of Mr. Darkin, who resigned from illness, be confirmed. On the motion being put from the chair That Messrs. John Williams, John Boyle, James Haswell (the retiring directors), and Samuel Holme (Mayor of Liverpool) be elected directors," Mr.

Munro protested, and urged that these gentlemen should have retired at the meeting in September, 1852, which was adjourned sine die, in consequence of the confusion which then prevailed. There should, he said, now be eight directors elected. He had consulted Sir Frederick Thesiger, who was of opinion that eight should now be elected. The. chairman said the directors had been advised by Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Mr.

Butt that only four were to be then elected. Mr. Munro then moved that Mr. Kennedy be nominated a director in the place of Mr. Haswell.

The motion was seconded, but rejected by a large majority. The three retiring directors and Mr. Holme were accordingly elected. Mr. Munro next moved that in of Mr.

Roy, who is one of the directors next in rotation to retire, Mr. Gordon Thomson be elected. The ohairman refused to put the motion, and Mr. Munro entered a protest against this course. This concluded the ordinary business of the meeting.

Sir Johnston afterwards moved, That this meeting disapproves of the re election of gentlemen pledged to give effect to the offer of the Great Western Company, inasmuch as it precludes the board from considering with fairness any amended offer from the North-western Company, should Buch be made and further, this meeting declines to entertain an offer from any company short of four per cent, and half profits." A shareholder seconded the motion. Mr. Taunton moved as an amendment, that the meeting desired to testify its approbation of the manner in which the board had given effect to the resolutions of the special general meeting of the 13th instant. Mr. Mather seconded the amendment.

Mr. Roy defended the directors, and called upon the shareholders not to stultify themselves bv renudiatine those agreements which they 37 io 0. 0 0 0 Manilla 41 0 ti 46 0 E.I.,Bmbay...l5 0 ti 26 0 17 28 0 Extra 28 10 24 10 Hides, Ox and Cow, a B. Ayres M. Video, dry.

With referent to the first part ot this proposition, the commissioners, much as the article condemns them, have learnt a lesson in that respect, the immense frauds so prominently brought before the public some six years.being their warning; and as regards the latter part, when the expense was borne by the merchants their complaints were loud and numerous, and justly too!

A sumptuous cold collation was provided in the offices in Water-street at which nearly a hundred personal or business friends of Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson attended during the afternoon of ednesday, and by all of whom the health and happiness of the bride and bridegroom were enthusiastically toasted. In the evening, about 25 gentlemen, in-cludmgsevcral of the captains of ships of the White Star" line, and the principal clerks of the establishment, dined together at the Wellington Hotel.

Mr. Rutherford was in the chair, and ably conducted the festivities, Mr. Tur-ley being vice-chairman. After the usual toasts, the chairman proposed the health of Mr. Pilkington and his lair bride, and in a very feeling though brief speech dwelt upon his uniform kindnesB, and that of the firm, towards all who were brought into connexion with them, concluding with a hearty wish for the happiness and long life fif the newly wedded pair.

The toast was enthusiastically responded to. The health of Mr. Wilson was afterwards given and drunk with equal cordiality. Several other appropriate toasts were given, and the evening closed, "'-ving afforded unmingled pleasure to all present. feT- Helen's Fortnightly Petty Sessions.

Sillar, lft R- Pi'to'-ston, Esq. Peter Marsh was fined a costs for assaulting James Callon on the 19th iinT i Erlwar(1 Hnsworth, of Wldues, was summoned utier the Cruelty to Animals Act, for snooting a cat, on tne lfth belonging to Thomas Plumptim. Mr, jjiarsji appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Ward for mc defeudant. It appeared from the evidence of complainant and his witnesses that Mr.

Unsworth, with three Persons, was out shooting at Widnes, and that, when in a eld near to complainant's house, he shot a valuable cat ii t0 him- Mr- Ward in answer to the charge, mailed the defendant, who admitted the shooting of the Mt, but stated that his dog set at something which appeared to him to be a rabbit or a hare, and that he of course rived that immediately he had done so the up a tree and he suspecting it to be a wt, hred a second time to put it out of its misery Mr Ward also raised an objection to the summons, on the rounds that this case did not come within the meaning of I the act, the words of the act being, cruelly torturing, and that this case it didnot appear that a wanton act of cruelty had been committed, as the defendant had the first instance shot at what he believed to be game, lie therefore submitted that the case should be dismissed! Ihe magistrates, concurring in this view, dismissed the case accordingly. A second information was laid against Unsworth for shooting on the highway, ft appeared that oh the night of the same day on which the former offence was alleged to have been committed, Mr. Unsworth and his men were returning home about eleven clock, and that, when opposite the' house of the last complainatJt, a gun was fired close to the window, fhe inmates were alarmed, and opened the window. One of them stated that he saw Mr. Unsworth with a gun in his hand, but, on cross-examination by Mr.

Ward, he admitted that it was so dark that he could not swear positively to him. Mr. Ward, for the defence, called unsworth and the keeper, who proved that one of the men, named Piatt, fired, the gun, without the previous knowledge or consent of Mir. TJneworth. The case was therefore dismissed.

George Houghton, Escleston, was summoned for breach of Beer Act, in selling nk.n hiwiday last at seven o'clock in tEe morning. Fined 20s. and costs. nTOu. icuoncu appuuaMuu was received xrom the dock gatemen for an advanoe of wages.

A conversation followed, when several members observed that the dock gatemen had ample wages. Mr. Bigham asked if they could not pass a resolution that the dock gatemen send in their resignation. The Chairman It is a question whether you entertain the application that will decide it. Mr.

Royden moved that the applicants have an advance of 2s. per week but the motion did not meet with a seconder. It was then agreed, on the motion of Mr. Bigham, seconded by Mr. Gregson, that the application be refused.

A letter from the Shipbuilders' Association, complaining of the inoonvenience of the place in which the shipbuilders and others had to meet the harbourmaster, for the purpose of regulating the graving docks, was referred to the harbour-masters committee, as was also a letter from Richardson Brothers relative to a space at the Wellington half-tide dock for laying down a supply of coal for their steamers. A letter was read from Mr. T. H. Farrar, of the office af the privy council for trade, calling attention to a clause in the Merchant Shipping Bill, which prevented parties from mortgaging the rates, except where they are used expressly for purposes connected with shipping.

The ohairman said that as their rates were used for the purposes of shipping, the clause did not apply. He had seen Mr. Cardwell on the subject, and got him to insert a Clause exempting the dock trust. Mr. Bigham doubted whether, under the clause, they could give 100 a year as superannuation he did not know how they could, twist that to be applied to shipping purposes.

A letter was read from the Rev. Mr. Maynard, asking that tne rent of the mariners' schools be reduced from 15 to 5 per annum. The request was complied with. This was the whole of the general business.

The following letters afford their own explanation 24, James-street, Liverpool, 21st 1863. TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MBMBBRS OF TUB DOCK COMMITTEE. Gehtlembn, In the Liverpool Mercury of Tuesday last there is a letter in reference to the steam-boats Moha's Queen and Manx Fairy. The letter Is signed by five men as the crew of the Forinby lightship. The statement in that letter is incorrect, as can be proved by many independent witnesses but that is not the point upon which I wish to trouble the committee.

The object of this note is to ascertain if men In the employ of the dock estate are, as such, authorised or permitted to intrude themselves into newspaper controversies respecting rival steamboatssubjects which neither concern them nor the trust they are paid for serving, and towards which all steam-vessels alike proportionately contribute. Had the men written in their private capacities, although their statement might have been contradicted, no objection could have been taken to their proceedings but as they parade themselves before the publio in their official capacities to an incorrect statement, perhaps you will not consider this application out of place.

RfW ihe amendment, embodying a vote or confidence in the directors, was carried by a very large majority but on the motion of Captain Berkeley a poll was demanded, which will close at noon to-morrow.

The meeting authorised the issue of 76,140 preference stock, and the remainder of the sum authorised by the act of 1851. ihe meeting further confirmed the proposition of the directors to issue 7614 shares of 10 each, in the proportion of one share to each 150 stock, bearing interest tL annum from 29th October next, on tht aJ time Paid UP.
