Mr. Haddock, the director, has already given so many proofs of his superior judgment in catering for the public, that we predict great success for his present undertaking. By the recent bylaws, carowners are obliged to hive lighted lamps to their cabs every night after dark. This would cost these tradesmen £6,700 per annum, and they protest against the law. They are prepared to light lamps when fares require it, but not otherwise to keep them lighted. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. Two lectures were de livered in this institution last week, bv Professor Nevins,on "The Mechanism of Animals." His drawings, which we understand have been prepared specially for the occasion, are upon a large scale, and well executed. On Friday evening he exhibited a restored view of the megatherium, which, with his description, would doubtless, to most of his auditors, be novel and instructive. In these two lectures Dr. Nevins disposed of the quadrupeds ; in the remcining two he will treat of birds and fishes. PRESENTATION OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY'S MEDAL TO CAPTAIN CHRISTIE, OF THE IRON DUKE.—At the meeting of the Humane Society, on Saturday, a silver medal of the first class was voted to Captain Christie, of the steam-ship Iron Duke, and fifteen shillings to each of the men who manned the steamer's boat, for their praise worthy exertions in saving the life of Capt. Brocklebank, the only survivor of the crew of the schooner Eliza, of Preston. which vessel was wrecked near Burbo Bank, on Thursday last. Captain Brocklebank had been seventeen hours on the wreck when rescued by Captain Christie and his men POPISH IDOLATRY.—An eye-witness informs us that, on Saturday, the 20th instant, about twelve o'clock at noon, as a respectably attired female was walking down the centre aisle of St. Martin's Market, she met a Romish priest, and immediately fell on her knees before him, with her hands placed in a supplicating manner before him, and would not rise until the priest touched her, and took hold of her bonnet and raised her up. The " good father" appeared much excited ; and both he and the worthy daughter of the " tolerant" church took their departure amidst roars of laughter from the bystanders, at the ludi crous farce they had witnessed.—Mail. FIRE AT HUTTON.—A. serious fire, which resulted in the destruction of buildings, besides farming stock, &c., intelligence of the - fire was comet about half-past ten, when Mr. Hewitt, accompanied by a large number of his staff, proceeded with all despatch to the scene of the conflagration. The owner of the premises where the fire broke out is Mr. Nathan Loyelady, an exten sive farmer, who has been resident at Huyton for a num ber of years. The granary, with its contents, comprising a large quantity of new wheat and June straw,•was totally destroyed. The loss cannot be estimated with certainty, LECTURE TO Dn. FISHER'S PUPILS.—The Rev. H. Hampton delivered an admirable address to Dr. Fisher's pupils•on Thursday last. The subject was the "Omnipre sence and Omniscience of God." It was fully illustrated and affectionately applied to their thoughts, motives, open to Divine inspection. The lecturer concluded by saying that it would be quite superfluous to wish the prin cipal additional success, as the number and respectability of the young gentlemen present bore ample testimony to his high reputation and popularity as a faithful and effi cient instructor of youth, and from all that he had seen and heard, he considered Dr. Fisher's educational esta- THE NEWCASTLE INFIRMARY AND THE SOUHTERN HOSPITAL.—The building committee of the Newcastle on-Tyne Infirmary have forwarded the following resolu tion to the officials of the Southern and Toxteth Hospi tal :—" At a meeting of the building committee, held this day, Sept. 18th, 1851, it was unanimously resolved, that the cordial thanks of this committee be and are hereby given to the medical and other officers of the Southern Hospital, Liverpool, for the great courtesy and attention which they showed the deputation of this committee on their recent visit to Liverpool, and for the very important information they communicated ; and further, that should any of the officers of the institution which our deputation visited be desirous of examining our establishment, this committee will have great pleasure in showing them every attention in their power." THE COUNTY COURT.—ANONYMOUS LETTERS TO THE JUDGE.—At the opening of the court on Tuesday morn ing, the judge referred to some private communications which he had received, and announced his determination to put a stop to parties sending anonymous communica tions to him, of whatspever character they might be ; and he was fully resolved, more especially in any case where an insult was offered to the judge of the court by an anonymous letter, to spare no cost or trouble, however great, to discover the offending party, and to make an example of him, le'. his situation or circumstances be what they might. In this country every man, at least every respectable man, was as much interested as himself in upholding the respect which was due to the judge of this or any other court of justice, and he was determined to put a stop to the insulting line of conduct towards him, which some parties deemed it right to pursue. He would measure swords with them for the future, and see whether law or rude insolence was to prevail. Several of the soli citors present expressed their entire concurrence in his honour's remarks.—OßDEßS OF PAYMENT AGAINST DEBTORS.—In the course of the proceedings on Tuesday his honour intimated that he was determined to enforce the judgments of the court most rigorously against debtors who broke faith with the orders made upon them. De fendants, must therefore look to the judgments of the court, in regard to the payment of their instalments, as matters not to be disregarded, except under very especial circumstances. 'CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The Rev. Samuel Crowther, a native African, from Abbeokouta, and th e Rev. 0. E. Vidal, M.A., ho is about to proceed as a missionary to Sierra Leone, will visit Liverpool on Mon day next, for the purpose of obtaining funds to found a bishopric in Sierra Leone. Mr. Crowther, as we Lave said, is an African, rescued in youth from the hold of a slave-ship by a British cruizer ; he was edusted in the society's school, in Sierra Leone, and subsequently ordained by the Bishop of London. He has just arrived in England, having been labouring among his heathen countrymen in connection with the Church Missionary Society, and will, no doubt, give much interesting information in reference to missionary work in Africa, particularly in Sierra Leone and its flourishing off-shoot Abbeokouta. The Church Missionary Society has long been anxious for the esta blishment of a bishopric in Sierra Leone; and the present aspect of the missions, coupled with the sanguine hopes expressed by Lord Palmerston, that the philanthropic efforts of this country for the suppression of the slave trade are now beginning to tell with great efficiency, ren ders the present juncture a very suitable one for pressing the establishment of the see on the friends of Christian missions. It will be seen, by advertisement, that sermons in aid of this desirable object will be preached in various churches on Sunday next. A public meeting will be held at the Collegiate Institution on Monday evening next. Meetings •will also take place at Seaforth, Bootle, and Bir kenhead in the course of the same week. SCHOONER RUN DOWN ON THE RIVER.—A serious accident occurred on the river on Wednesday evening last. At half-past nine o'clock, the steamer Fanny, belonging to the Messrs. Willoughby, left the landing-stage for Tranmere. The night was exceedingly dark, but the va rious lights on the river were, it is said, visible. Opposite Birkenhead-ferry several vessels lay at anchor, with their usual lights suspended. When the Fanny had reached opposite the Birkenhead slip, she ran with tremendous force into the schooner Dove, of Amlwch, laden with salt, from Runcorn, So violent was the shock, and the injury sustained by the schooner, Oat she did not remain afloat many minutes after the accident. There were three men on board at the time, who, finding their vessel was sinking, instantly took to the small boat, and escaped. It is said that the schooner had her light up according to rule. Maurice Jones was the captain of the schooner, and Mr. Trevick, of Almwch, the owner. At four o'clock on Thursday morning, one of Mr. Willoughby's steamers re turned after having towed out a ship, and reported having seen part of a schooner floating above water between the Crosby and Formby light-ships. As there appeared to be no doubt but that this was the wreck of the schooner which had been i un down by the Fanny, the Britannia was despatched to recover, if possible, the unfortunate vessel, in which she succeeded, and the floating wreck was towed to the Tranmere beach, where shenow lies shattered and almost irreparably damaged.—[A passenger who crossed to Tranmere in the eight o'clock boat,—previous to the accident—states that be observed the schooner in ques'ion, and that her light did not appear to be suffi ciently elevated to be observed by boats coming in the direction which the Fanny was steering.] ACCIDENTS.—On Tuesday last Thomas Phillips, ship wright, Robertson-street, and John Hughes, of the same street, fell a distance of upwards of twenty feet, on board the ship Unicorn, lying in the Queen's Dock. Phillips sustained a severe contusion of the scalp, and Hughes a contused wound of the elbow.—John M'Ginn, of 14, Bird-street, whilst fighting with another boy, was shoved off the footpath, and run over by a car, which fractured both the bones of his leg.—A boy, named Hobson, the son of parents residing in Lace-street, was killed on Wed nesday, by falling down stairs.—On Wednesday two labourers were severely injured ; one of them by some earth falling upon him at a sewer, and the other from the fall of some bricks.—Robert Jones, of Frederick-street, whilst working in a well, received a severe injury on the back, by a bucket, containing clay, falling on him whilst he was in a stooping position, the rope by which the bucket was being hoisted having broken.—George Jamie son, engineer at Mr. Pearce's foundry, Jordan-street, received a severe injury in the abdomen by slipping off a boiler.—George Neale, aged twenty, was crushed in the saw-mill of Messrs. M'Nicol and Every, and sustained a serious injury in the side.—William Page, a seaman, was severely hurt by the falling of a stage on board the Great Britain steam-ship.—On Thursday a man, named Solo mon Armstrong, was accidentally crushed between two waggons while working at a coal-yard.--A seaman, named Huth Davis, fell from the rigging of a vessel in the Brunswick Dock, and had his head and limbs dreadfully lacerated by the fall.—Thomas O'Neile, an emigrant, fell into the hold of the ship David Cameron, lying in the Stanley Dock. He was severely contused, and now lies at the Northern Hospital in a precarious state. AN EXCELLENT CURE OF A DISORDER IN THE STOMACH EFFECTED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—A ladrran intimate friend of the family of General Rosturrgovernor of the republic of La Plata, declares tha e wa s lAtely cured of a disorder in the stomach, an estored to perfect health by the use of this adnaira remedy. She had consulted jeer" ? the most eminent ph ' :tins of the country, but had not been able to obtai ny relief from the complaint that was killing her, as e said; by inches, until she took Hollo way's Pills, ohn Eastman, Esq., an eminent merchant lof Buen Ayres, communicated these particulars to i Professor Holloway, in a letter dated 4th Sept., 1t349, NEW CHURCH AT PRESTON.—We understand the clergy of this town are anxious to secure sites for three additional churches, to be erected as soon as funds can be obtained for that purpose. Their present intention is to build one in or near Ribbleton.lane, another on the Maudlands, and a third on the Oxheys or Greenbank estate. Land for the latter, accompanied with a donation of £5O, has been presented for the last named one. The donation is on the wholesome condition that no burial ground is to be attached to thechurch.—Prestonehronicle. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT.— On Thursday evening last, the Rev. J. P. Murphy, who, for the last eight years, has been master of St. Bartholomew's Schools, Naylor. street, was presented with a handsome gold watch, in the name of the late and present ministers, the teachers, and scholars of St. Bartholomew's, and a few other friends, on occasion of his removal to Macclesfield, as curate to the Rev. W. R. B. Arthy, of that town. An address was prepared for the occasion, hut indisposition of the gentle man who was to undertake that duty, prevented it. It is intended, however, to forward it to Mr. Murphy. AN OLD DODGE.—Last week, an elderly gentleman" called at the shop of Mr. Pentony, boot and shoemaker, of Commutation-row, and purchased a pair of pegged boots for Bs. He requested them to be sent over to a house in Islington-terrace, together with 125., the change for a sovereign. The boots were sent accordingly. The pur chaser was waiting on the door-step. He knocked at the door, took the money and boots from the bearer, and told him to wait a moment and he would bring him the sovereign. We need not say that he an. - stranger t, t l. -f the b o ne occupants co) .ionse which he had entered ; he made some observations to the inmates about, taking lodgings, sidled to the back door, and " bolted." THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1851. same individual PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—The concert of this So ciety, which takes place this (Tuesday) evening, is ex pected to be very fully attended. The principal performers will be Miss Louisa Pyne and Herr Formes, and Mr. Chisholm will perform a solo on the bassoon. The en gagements for the ensuing winter are likely to prove ex ceedingly attractive. An extra choral concert is to be given on the 14th October, when selections from the hitherto unknown vocal works of J. S. Bach are to be produced, while, on the 22nd and 24th of October, we are to have a great treat by thP exertions of the glee and madrigal party, Albert, gained great popularity in London during the past season. There is also a talk of Mr. Sims Reeves appearing in the oratorio of " St. Paul." A FEW HINTS ABOUT BLOOMERISM.—The " lady" (Mrs. Dexter) who has been lecturing about the female dress reform in London, and who has exemplified the matter practically. is well known to those members of the press who have dived into the dens of infidelity in which the metropolis abounds. The "John-street Institution," in which the lecture was delivered, is one of a number of infidel institutions regularly advertised in the Reasoner and similar publications. This fact alone throws a sus picion on the movement, which is by no means a novelty _ in gland. It was regularly adopted more than a dozen years ago at the Socialist Ihil, Liverpool, when scores of females joined in the dances at that s tired in a precisely similar costume, Tian REFOIUJATION IN IRELAND.—A placard with the above heading, and to the following effect, has been exten sively posted over the town :—" Rev. P. O'Dwyer. R. C. P , having in writing accepted the challenge from the Rev. Thos. Atkinson and Rev. W. A. Darley to a public dis cussion in Liverpool on his denial of their statements with reference to the number of converts from Romanism and the persecution endured by them in the district of Doon, a public meeting will be held at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. on Tuesday evening. The chair to be taken by the Rev. Dr. M`Neile." It will be seen whether Mr. O'Dwyer will meet his opponents this evening. We very much doubt it. PACIFIC MAIL STEMMER SANTIAGO.--This fine steam. ship reached the harbour on Wednesday morning. She has completed in Glasgow the alterations necessary to perfect her for the company's mail service in the Pacific; and we learn that the run from Greenock to the Bell Buoy has been accomplished in the unprecedented short snare of 13 hours and 42 minutes, and adding 40 minutes; the time occupied thence to the Rock Light, gives 14 hours and 22 minutes for the whole run. The Santiago, on the voyage from Glasgow, was under the able command of Captain Boyd, well known in the Glasgow and Liverpool _ _ trade, and we have his authority for stating that, by three successive trials with common log, tie ascertained rate of speed of the Santiago was upwards of 14 knots an hour, without the aid of wind and tide. We understand that the other three steam-ships huilding by Mr. Napier for this company are larger and more powerful vessels, con ecirvvvrAwt Its in gavrtnntari thnf ehnfr great performances now recorded of the Santiago.

EXPERIMENTS WITH PHILLIP'S PATENT FIRE ANNT HILATOR.—On Tuesday afternoon, the directors of the Fire Annihilator Company gave a demonstration of the power of their machines for extinguishing tire,—first on a wooden house, erected for the purpose on a piece of vacant ground at the extremity of the new north docks ; secondly on a reservoir of pitch adjoining, and then upon an old vessel moored in the Sandon Basin. The object of the fire annihilator is to diffuse through the atmosphere of an apartment on fire, a quantity of carbonic gas and steam, and thus render the continuance of flame impossible. The portable fire-annihilator is less in size than an up right coal-scuttle, and consists of a machine composed of four tin, or thin iron, cylindrical cases within one another, the central one containing a chemical preparation, in the form of a brick, composed of charcoal, nitre, and gypsum, which, whenever occasion requires, will discharge with the power of steam a vapour in which flame cannot exist In the centre of this inner case is a small hole to receive a phial of the chemical compound which fires the inside substance and creates the vapour, on a pin t t the top being sharply struck. A large quantity of planks and shavings were piled in a temporary wooden house, put up in the centre of the ground, and set fire to, having pre viously been well sprinkled with turpentine. The flames, as may be supposed, were not long in acquiring great in tensity, and soon they burst with fury from the windows of the house, threatening to envelop the whole erection in their fiery embrace. The vapour from four of the portable machines, however, which the firemen directed into the house through the doors and windows, sufficed almost in stantaneously to extinguish the raging element ; and when the thick black clouds which for a few moments obscured the building rolled away, not a spark was visible. The invention was next tested in the extinguishing of 250 gal lons of ignited pitch, which had been placed in a tank not far from the house. Shavings were thrown here and there upon the surface of the pitch previous to firing it, and tur pentine liberally sprinkled also ; but, notwithstanding the furious nature of the fire, it was dashed out with only one machine. The third experiment consisted in the equally speedy extinction of a fire kindled in the hold of an old steamer, which had been brought into the Sandon basin for the purpose, and crammed with tea and sugar casks, shavings, &c., sprinkled with turpentine. Similar experi ments were conducted in the evening, both demonstrations being under the superintendence of Mr. F. Morton, of the firm of Messrs. F. and H. J. Morton, (agents for the pa tent,) and Mr. Miller. one of the directors for the company. -We understand that on Tues. ting. consisting of at Marshall's upon. The association also determined to request a per sonal interview with his lordship. MARRIAGE-LAW REFORM.—A meeting for the purpose of originating a branch of the Marriage-Law Reform Asso ciation was held on Tuesday evening, at the Adelphi Hotel. Resolutions were proposed and seconded by various speakers, and at the termination of the proceedings a sub scription was entered into to agitate for a repeal of Lord Lyndhurst's act. MEETING OF CLERGYMEN.—On Friday a meeting of several of the clergy of the town was held at the Clarendon rooms, for the purpose, we believe, of organizing a public protest against the Government grant of £7OO to the Catholic schools of this neighbourhood. Reporters were in attendance, but were informed that the proceedings were purely private and preliminary. About 20 c!ergymen were present, the Rev. Dr. M'Neile being of the number. BAPTIST MISSIONS.—On Tuesday evening a meeting of the friends to the missions was held in the Baptist Chapel, Bootle, when addresses were delivered by several gentle men present. The annual meeting, took place on Wed nesday evening, in the Pembroke Chapel, and the building was crowded to excess. The speakers were the Rev. Mr. Makepeace and the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel. A collection was made during t mornine t 3e friends to t at the Concert Ile evening ,e mission a public breakfast resided at • 14 AUNCH OF A BRAZILIAN STEAM-FRIGATE.-011 Thursday morning a large war-steamer, for the Brazilian government, was launched from the building-yard of Mr. Wilson, at Birkenhead. She is of the following dimen sions :—Length 192 feet, breadth 32 feet, and depth 19 feet 3 inches. She is about 1,200 tons burthen, or 950, carpenters' measurement. She is a wooden vessel, and the materials used throughout the ship are East India teak and English oak. Her framing is remarkably strong, the ship being strengthened with diagonal braces of tim ber and iron combined,and the materials are more strongly bound together than is the custom of the royal navy. The ship has a round stern, and she is in every way con structed with a view to strength. Her sides are pierced for an armament of six sixty-eight pounders. She has flat paddle-boxes, for carrying life-boats, and her arrange ments throughout are of the most approved kind. There has been more attention paid to strength than speed in the construction of this ship, but it is expected that she will attain a speed of from ten to eleven knots per hour. Notwithstanding the unpropitious weather, a very large comr•any assembled to witness the launch ; and we should think that there were not less than 500 persons present in the yard, including a few ladies who had dared to brave the weather. The vessel was decorated with flags, and displayed at her stern the Brazilian standard. All the preparations having been completed, the word " down daggers" was given, and in a few moments the noble vessel glided gracefully into the river, receiving her sponsorial honours, in a cracked bottle of wine, from the hand of Miss Grenfelll, one of the daughters of Admiral Grenfell. She was named simply " The Brazilian Steam-frigate," as there were no instructions upon the point, and her future name will not be given to her till her arrival in the South American waters. The new vessel was immediately taken in tow by a steamer, and carried into the Birkenhead dock, where she will receive her engines, which are to be furnished by Mr. Hick, of Bolton. We may mention that Stubbs' band was present on the occasion, and helped to keep the drenched spectators in good humour by play ing, from under the shelter of a saw-pit roof, some lively and appropriate airs. The launch over, such of the com pany as had been invited repaired to a large marquee ad joining to partake of a dejeuner given by Mr. Wilson, the builder, and furnished with his usual taste and elegance by Mr. Gleave, of the Woodside Adelphi Hotel. The tables were loaded to profusion with the delicacies of the season. After the removal of the cloth several toasts were given. The first was that of " His Imperial Majesty the Emperor, of Brazils"—received with all the honours. This was res ponded to by Mr. Froes, who gave " The Queen" —drunk with the most enthusiastic cheering, the band striking, up the National Anthem. " Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family," was then given from the chair, and duly honoured. The rain here began to saturate through the canvass covering of the tent, and it was evident that there could be little speaking.—Alderman Proctor, in a ne a t address, proposed " Success to the building of Brazilian steam-frigates in this yard" (loud cheering).—The health of Admiral Grenfell, now absent in the Brazils, was drunk. Mr. Froes acknowledged the honour on his behalf. He was, he said, a very gallant officer and his sincere friend. From the lastaccounts there was a probability that he would be in Liverpool again next month.—" Success to the officers of the new frigate" was drunk •, and Lieutenant Torreas responded, proposing the health of Mr. Wilson,—a toast which was received with three-times-three.—The health of Mr. Froes was next drunk ; and, after " The ladies," not forgetting the sponsor of the vessel, and one or ,two tumor coMplipacntary toasts, the company broke up, WEST DERBY GUARDS ANS.—Mr. Roskell 1, the usual meeting of the board on Wednesday. The balance in hand was stated to be £2,022 is. Cheques to the amount. of £2,033 19s. 3d. The committee appointed to divide the township of Toxreth.park into two relief districts recommended that the No. 3 district (Mr. La. thorn's) comprise the north side of Warwick-street and the portion of the township lying north thereof, including the rural portion of the township and Windsor; and that the No 4 district (Mr. Tomkins') comprise the remainder of the township. The report was adopted. A resolution was also carried granting £lOO per annum to the Southern and Toxteth Hospital, to be charged (like all other gt ants in future) to the common fund. GENERAL SCREW ST EAM SITIPPING COMPANY Satur , v the 3 - - ^t: of —,ua ) halt-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, 2, Royal Exchange-buildings, Mr. Currie, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the committee appointed by government to consider the postal service between England and Australia had reported in favour of having screw-ships by the Cape of Good Hope line, and tenders had been invited. The directors could not recommend a el' -ivideno, as there was no surplus last year, in consequence of a number of debts outstanding having been paid off. The receipts of the half-year amounted to £38,390, and the disbursements to £37,395 7s. 9d. The report, after considerable discussion, was agreed to ; and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. MEETING OF FINANCIAL AND PARLIAMENTARY RE FORMERS AT MANCHESTER.—On Wednesday evening, a public meeting was held at the Freetrade-hall, Man chester, to receive a deputation from the National Parlia mentary and Financial Reform Association. The ball in which the meeting took place was originally calculated to afford accommodation, it is said, to nearly 10,000 persons, but since the objects of the Anti-Corn Law League were accomplished, the building has been, in some measure, curtailed of its fair proportions to adapt it to the purposes of dioramic and other exhibitions. The spacious hall was, however, filled to repletion, and, probably, at the lowest computation, there could not be less than from 6,000 to 7,000 persons present, many of whom were evidently, from their dress and appearance, mechanics and onera- fives. The chair was taken at half-past seven o'cloc'k by Mr. George Wilson, formerly president of the Anti- Corn Law League, and the deputation included Sir Joshua Walmsley, M.P., President of the National Reform Association ; Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P. ; Mr. G. Thompson, M.P., and Mr. J. Williams, M.P. The meeting was addressed by Sir Joshua Walmsley, Mr. Dyer, Mr. Heywood, of Bolton, Mr. Fox, M.P., Mr. Williams, M.P., Mr. Thompson, M.P., and others; and the proceedings terminated at a late hour.—The follow ing are the principles recommended by the association as the basis of a representative system :—" 1. The extension of the suffrage to every occupier of a tenement or portion of a tenement ; 2. Vote by ballot.; 3. Triennial parlia ments ; 4. A more equal apportionment of members to population; 5. Abolition of the property qualification. HEALTH COMMITTEE.-At the weekly meeting, on Thursday, Mr. Alderman Parker, the chairman presided. There were also present :—Messrs. Bennett, Fernihough, Lloyd, Beckwith, Johnson, Hornby, Hindley, Langsdale Thomson, Chaltner, and Godfrey. The medical officer of reported a great decrease in the mortality of the week, the deaths registered having been 204 against 275 in the pre vious week—an average of 222 in the corresponding week of the preceding three years, excluding 196 deaths from cholera in the same week of 1849. One-fourth of the mortality had taken place in the extra-parochial wards, and three-fourths within the parish of Liverpool. Zymotic diseases had caused 72 deaths against 130 in the previous week. The mortality from consumption and diseases of the lungs rose to 5-1 from 45 in the previous week. Two men aged 38 and 58 had died from excessive drinking anal delirium tremens. Of the total deaths, 143 were children, and 61 adults ; 89 were males, and 115 females. One case of fever in a registered lodging-house was reported. The mean temperature of the week was 57 3-10ths degrees, li. degrees higher than the previous week, and two-thirds of a degree above the average of the same week of the prece ding five years. Mr. Fresh, the inspector of nuisances, submitted an analysis of the lodging.house returns ob- tained in preparation for carrying out the provisions of the General Lodging-house Act, passed during the late session. The returns embraced 3.254 lodging-houses containing 13,510 rooms, in which were found residing 32,966 persons, of whom 19,548 were lodgers; and the remainder consisted of 13,418 persons who were the keepers' families. Of these houses 173 were reported as monthly lodging-houses, 2,539 as weekly iodging-houses, 672 as nightly lodging houses, and 127 as places where lodgers are taken for less than a week and more than a night; 239 of them were also reported as emigrants' lodging-houses, 166 as medicants', 214 as sailors', 9 as soldiers', 19 as drovers', 2,170 as labourers', 65 as tramps', 353 as brothels, and 53 as beer houses where lodgers are taken. Mr. Chalmer complained that a road in Kirkdale was being repaved when it did not in the least require it, as the traffic was very slight, and the pavement in excellent condition. He had told the men that if they proceeded beyond a certain line (which he pointed out to them) he should bring the matter before the committee. Mr. Davies, the deputy-surveyor, said that, doubtless, Mr. Newlands could explain satisfactorily to the sub-committee, which met on the following Tues day, the reasons for repaving the road, and the matter was therefore left over, TOWN COUNCIL.—The usual monthly meeting of the 1 ROBBERY BY A SAILOR FROM ASH Town Council will take place to-morrow, (Wednesday.)

J. J. Collins, the Catholic priest against whom a summons had been issued, for an alleged assault upon a police•officer in Crossliall-street, on Wednesday week, appeared before the magistrate on Wed.; nesday last, as did also the/man named Burke. who was charged with a similar offence. Sir George Stevens, barrister, appeared on behalf of Mr. Collins. The evidence on both sides was m'st conflicting, the witnesses on behalf of the priest deposing that the rev. gentleman had endeavoured, in reality, to rescue the officer from the assaults of others, instead of himself assailing him ; while the evidence on the part of the policeman w totally different character. The bench , dismissed the case. On Thursday John Jameson was fined 7s. and ss. costs for travelling on the Lancashire end Yorkshire Railway from Nor: mutton without a ticket. The prisoner was to be imprisoned for seven days in default of payment. A USEFUL CAUTION TO MARINE-STORE DEALERS.-Wm COX, a maine-store dealer in Mersey-street, has been deprive of his license, and, in addition, committed to prison f month, having been convicted of receiving a quantity nails which had been stolen from the ship Victoria, the Salthouse-dock, and afterwards selling them to another dealer for .'s On Friday, three young women, from Brownlow•hill work house, were placed in the dock on a charge of refusing to work, being violent and abusi•;e, and pulling down a wall in the house.
