THE LORD IAYOR OF LONDON'S EASTER BANQUET. THE EARL OF DERBY'S SPEECH This annual festivity took place at the Mansion House on Monday last, when a brilliant and dis tinguished company honoured his lordship with their presence. The Earl of Derby and most of the Cabinet Ministers were present. In returning thanks for the health of her Majesty's Ministers the Premier said :—"I am not insensible to the diffi culties under which we have assumed our present position, at the commenceme session, and with little le- nt of a Parliati measures to be su ;tire to mature or to prepare I to that Parliament (loud ); but I believe that friends cries of hear, hear and opponents alike give us credit for this—for having performed our duty in not shrinking from the responsibility which we encountered, nor incur ring the greater responsibility of a protracted Ministerial interregnum at the commencement of a session of Parliament (hear, hear). Ido not pre sume to speak of any political course of action ; but this I say, that I hope I see indications not to be mistaken, in this metropolis, that we are. not looked upon as a set of reckless or careless men, likely to endanger the credit of the country and its great commercial and mercantile interests, or to neglect the great religious, moral, and social obli.4ations which must rest upon us (cheers). A change of Government so total as has taken place could in some countries have been considered only next to a revolution; here we happily see that such changes can take place, not only without disturbance to the ordinary course of public affairs—without ruffling in the slightest degree the serene aspect of society, and without disturbing (I say it with still greater happiness) for a single moment the personal friend ship of political opponents (cheers). And to what is this Co be attrit buted? Is it to any merit in the men who are called upon to administer the affairs of this great country ? No; but it is to the insti tutions of the country itself—it is to the confidence that every man in this country feels that, be the Minister who he may, in the light of the constitu— tion he must walk, by the light of the co stitution he must be guided, within the limits of the consti tution his course must be directed (cheers). Well is it known that no Minister can direct the affairs of this country permanently or for any lengthened period unless he enjoy the confidence and support of his fellow-countrymen (hear, hear). Whether we do enjoy that confidence as a Government no distant time will clearly and undeniably prove (hear, hear). If we do not possess that confidence, I, for one, can say with perfect sincerity that I shall re sign office, and with it the labours and anxieties of public life, with far more of readiness and far ^lf than I have undertaken more of comfi the arduous ort to my and painfu responsibilitie, if we shot men w country words t of cheering drowr ed), then I know I ery one of my co as I say without 14 itation r myself, that no sacri- nce of time, of comfort, be deemed too much to prove -htest degree worthy of the favour of h, of life itself, will rse►ves even in the eroign, and of t: pport of the peo ghty interests 'omnaitted to our cha the hall).

Mr. Feeney, of the Merchants' Dining-rooms, has taken up this subject very warmly, and is, we believe, the originator of the present movement.

Mr. ELLIOTT demanded a poll. Mr. Thomas Savage and Mr. John Smith were reelected as overseers, with Mr. Gardner ; and Mr. Shakeshaft and Mr. Luff were severally nominated for overseers, in the room of Mr. Johnson, who retires. The former, as the Churchwardens' nominee, was elected. Mr BANNER next proposed the confirmation of the election of those gentlemen chosen by the board during the year. Agreed to. These were Mr. Bradley. Mr. Wm. Earle, and Mr. Kitchen. The following gentlemen were then elected or reelected :—Mr. Came Mr. Denton, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Moss (slate-merchant), Mr. W. Jones (timber-merchant), Mr. Luff, Mr. Mellor, and Mr. gentlemen named in opposition were Meacock, and Mr. Urquhart. The s an amendment to Mr. Moss, and, Smith demanded a poll. Troughton.

THE NEW CHURC RATE AND ST. NICIIOI ALTERATIONS 31 . r. BANNER moved that the rate for the ensuing year be 2d. in the pound. Mr. BIGHAM moved an amendment, that the rate be lid. only, but ultimately withdrew it. The rate of 2d. was then carried. After which, Mr. URQUHART moved that the overplus in the expen diture of £337 be paid by the churchwardens themselves, which was supported by Mr. BIGHAM. _ _ A noisy discussion followed, during which it transpired that Mr. Bighacn never paid church-rates at all ! The Rev. CHAIRMAN then put it to the vestry whether the churchwardens should be made to pay for affording more accommodation to the parishioners, or otherwise; when Mr. Urquhart's motion was lost, only six voting in its favour, while a forest of hands were held up against it. Some miscellaneous rates were then passed, and Mr. Dover suggested to Mr. Smith and Mr. Bradley not to go to a poll in the election of overseers and vestrymen, on ac count of the expense and inconvenience it would cause. Those gentlemen said they would consult their friends. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting was adjourned to Alonday at noon, for the purpose of receiving the accounts of the Equitable Rating Committee. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The last weekly meeting of the present Board of Guardians for the West Derby Union was held on Wednesday at the Workhouse, Mr. Roskell presiding. The list of newly-elected guardians was read by the clerk, who also stated that the number of paupers in the Workhouse was 734, in the hospital 30, and receiving out-door relief 4,105. Before the meeting broke up, thanks were voted to the chairman, vice-chair man, and clerk, and suitably acknowledged by those gen tlemen. At the weekly meeting, on Thurs man, presided. The following —Messrs. Shand, Moly- neux, Robinson, Chaloner, Claxton, Barber, Lockett, Mal- Righam, Robinson, Tobin, Bold, Rankin, -son. A report was read from the sub tee of works relative to the liability of the dock .er the levels and the sewers of the streets in The report contained a resolution, come to by - to the effect " That the alterations of ~eis presents. 1 by the health committee, not being '*ry for the construction of the dock works, they not be justified in recommending the adoption of . alterations unless upon some agreement with the lth committee for a division of the expense ; and c , re recommend that such alterations be abandoned ; ->mson, hol, and .

The alterations would incur considerable expense, and the question at issue was upon whom were these to fall ? The dock committee were undoubtedly liable for all such ex penses as might be incurred for the alteration of any street necessary for the dock work ; but their solicitor was of the opinion, in opposition to that of the town-clerk, that they were not called upon to make the street in accordance with the levels proposed by the health com mittee. The proposed levels were to be below the streets, whereas the dock committee held that the street iciently convenient on the opinions of Mr. John Henderson, fr. Cowling, barristers, were then red in some considerable degree ; rder that the healt e committee of works reported mmend the appropriation of 5,000 th end of the town, for the erec- ng the Dock Coon the protection of ill of Mr. Labou ream police to y means of what was left v A.

BLED, ON THE 25TH APRIL, ' ~,,o, riUDMIT REPORT AND STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT. WITH REFERENCE TO THE MANAGEMENT AND DIS , POSAL OF THE VOLUNTARY FUND. Your committee bad already submitted their accounts to previous General Vestries up to the 25th June last. Never theless they have considered it desirable to present, on this occasion, their Financial Statement, as a whole, from the date of their appointment, and showing their entire receipts and expenditure in detail; and it will he seen that this statement has been submitted to the examination and scrutiny of the Official Auditor. Included in the amount expended will be ESTR Y ' THEIR foam] the lar item of £1350, which has been paid to the Parish Parliamen tary Water Committee, since their claim was discussed by the Special General Vestry on the 28th July last. The duty of dealing with that claim had been to your com mittee a source of great and serious difficulty. Airing a period of nearly two years the subject in some form or other had occupied their attention at no fewer than 35 of their meetings. On one side there was the opinion of the legal advisers whom your committee consulted; and on the ether were the direct votes of two General Vestry Meetings—the same authority which called your committee into existence, and even the Voluntary Rate itself. At length, acting under the advice of Mr. Lowndes, and with certain indemnities pre pared by him, your committee decided to pay, so far as their funds would permit, such a portion of the claim as to them seemed legitimate and reasonable. 'fence the payment of the £1330; leaving still to be paid, under the arrangement entered into, a further sum of £3OO, if hereafter at the disposal of your committee. The payment, however, of so large a sum is shown by the statement to have exhausted nearly the whole of the Voluntary Fund. Your committee cannot too strongly urge upon the parish. loners the necessity for the revival of this Fend. Every rate payer, to whom the amount which lie is csiled , upon to pay is of consequence, is deeply interested in its continuance. To show this in the most effectual way, your committee would simply revert to a few of the objects which have engaged their attention, together with the results and conse:inences. Ist. The Triali immigration and fever crisis, besides the in jury inflicted upon Mr. Blanchard, since repaired by the Vo luntary Rate, and the irreparable injury sustained by the widows and families of so many of the parochial: officers then cut off by the fever, cast upon the parish, burdeno exceeding £70,000! To tweet this heavy requirement, the . ratepayers were called upon to pay Is. in the pound twice repeated, in addition to their ordinary contributions; and although. by active instrumentality, your committee succeeded its inducing the Government to institute measures to remedy the' evil, the immigration of Irish- pauperism into the parish, though in a greatly mitigated form, is silently but systematically going on, and will have to be' vigilantly guarded against to prevent a repetition of the former disastrous consequences. 2nd. The Dock Warehouse Bill, as originally promoted by the Dock Committee, was successfully opposed by your com mittee so far as to secure the insertion of the Rating e!anse. rendering the extensive warehouse property of the Dock Com mittee contributory to the local burdens, notwithstanding- the most energetic endeavours for its exemption. 3rd. The rating of the Corporate Estate, one of the great objects for which your eonmuttee were appointed, has been virtually attained by an arrangement with the corporation,-te avoid the expense of parliamentary proceedings. Under this arrangement, the ratepayers are now benefited to the extent-of .-elO,OOO annually—a sum equivalent to 3d. in the pount whkh, during the last three - years, bet for this arrangement,. would have been added to the rates; and also equivalent to• total contribution by the corporation up to the present time of Thus, without further enumeration of your committee's labours, it will be seen how largely the. ratepayers have bene fited by tile application of the - Voluntary Fund to circumstances in which the law makes no provision, and consequently, but for which Fund those benefits would have been lost. The ratepayers of this, the greatest parish in-the kingdom, cannot neglect the Voluntary Rate without detriment to themselves. Legislative measures affecting their intezvsts are continually being introduced into Parliament, Frit' may at any sudden mo ment require steps to be taken as well for their protection as their benefit. General laws, which-may lie - suitable elsewhere, may net work beneficially for thew The Non-Removal Act, passed in 1845, added to their burdens,s4s,ooo annually, to the advantage of other towns.. Liverpool in its magnitude and its position with regard to Ireland, requires special considera tion. 'I he law of Settlement and Removal—the law of Rating, including docks and other public property—besides other great questions- of vital moment to Liverpool—will, doubtless, be shortly dealt with by Parliament ;. but the ratepayers cannot be effectively served with regard to them except by the instru mentality of the Voluntary Ride. But it - is- also necessary that: the Voluntary Fnnd, if revived by the ratepayers, should Lie• placed upon anew footing. Its objects should be clearly defined. The merle of applying a discretionary power in sudden and urgent cases, not met by the strict definition, should be properly , explained and agreed upon, and , the accounts should• be annually reported.—By order, CHARLES , HART, Secretary. Pari.PkrOf t ives, Aprill7, I s 2 Appended to the report was a statement of accounts, from which it appeared that the total receipts of the vo luntary rate, since the committee held (ace (from 1848), amounted to £3442 ; and there had been paid for adver tising, law expenses, expenses incurred bye: deputations, and miscellaneous charges,.£32sl, showing a balance re maining in hand of £I9O. The CHAIRMAN asked if there was any person present prepared to move the adoption of the report.? Mr. Jbnrr SMITH• said there were several members of the Equitable Rating Committee present, but they con sidered their duties as at an end ; and it would be for the parishioners at that Vestry to decide whether they considered the voluntary rate so useful as to desire its continuance, and if so, to nominate the parties to manage it, and to fix its amount. The committee had been long anxious to pre sent their report, but, in consequence of a certain series of claims. which threw difficulties in their way, they had not been able tott do so till now.. It would be in the memory of tha parishioners that after Mr. Stephenson's report on the water question, a number of gentlemen in the town, who, backed by a loud expression of the public opinion, took an active part in opposing a scheme for supplying the than with water, thought it proper to desist ; but other gentlemen took up the matter, and it was an undeniable fact that a resolution was passed in the public vestry, though. it had no legal effect, that the funds of the Equitable Rating Committee should be appropriated to paying the proper expenses of that effort. A claim for X 2,700 had been made, but the committee, after anxious deliberation, had resolved to pal. of this amount £1,650. £1,350 had already been paid, and the remaining .£3OO they wish to be, so soon as there were funds a7ailable for the purpose. The volun tary rate had been the means of achieving much good for the perish ; and it was for the meeting to say, if a rate were to be laid, whether it should be a halfpenny or a penny. After some discussion on a point of formal order, Mr. DENTON moved that the report hi approved of. In answer to a question from Mr. Bigham, Mr. P. S. FOGERTY said the 41,650 would not ewer all claims by a very large amount. Mr. BIGHAM thought the balance on hand of £l9O ought to be paid over to the Parish Parliamentary Com mittee, in preference to the gratuity of ,6100 voted to Mr. Wainwright at the former meeting of the vestry. Mr. JEFFERa said it should be understood that the Parish Parliamentary Committee had no legal claim what ever upon those funds. Mr..BiunAac—They have been advised differently. Mr. JEFIMAY, said they had taken their own course at law, and were so far unsuccessful that they had not thought it right to proceed. The Equitable Rating Committee,. however, felt bound in, honour by the reso— lution passed by a former vestry, and considered, after strict inquiry,, that the Parish Parliamentary Water Committee had legitimately spent 41,650. Mr. Tzvku.saiDGE wished to show, if £lOO out of the £l9O was paid to Mr. Wainwright, the position that it would place him in. The Equitable Rating Committee had agreed to, pay £1,650. The. first payment was to be .£1,200, and the second £450, if they had so much at their disposal. On the payment of the 41,200-, although they acknowledged that the money which he was out of pocket was nearly :6,1000 and that the claim was legitimate, yet they had bound him by arrangement to pay out of that £l2OO, and to satisfy other claims £llOO. This he agreed to do on the promise that he should get the other £450, and he thought the Eqaitable Rating Committee ought in. justice to hand over to him the £l9O. His claim was• for money lent. The Parish Parliamentary Committee was appointed in June, 1850. Of course they were to have their funds from the Equita ble Rating Committee. They applied for £5OO to go on with, but got no answer. The time was urgent ; they must at once take steps to secure a locus standi, or resign their trust.. They borrowed till they got to the extent of £BOO. Something like 30 or 40 per cent. was charged for the interest of this money ; and he sug gested, to avoid that heavy payment, that each of the members of the committee should advance £lOO. That was not responded to, and the result was, that he took the matter into his own hands, and advanced the £BOO, although it was inconvenient to do so, out of his business. This was not all, for there were in addition several actions at law commenced against him, all of which lie had to defend. One for £525 had been settled for £lBO, and another for £6O had been settled for £4O. Mr. S. B. JACKSON moved, " That this Vestry, having heard the report of the Equitable Rating Committee, and seeing that the existence of a voluntary rate is essential to the interests of the parish, recommends that the voluntary rate be again asked for, at a penny in the pound, and that the earlier engagements of the committee be first dis charged by the committee to be elected to-day." Mr. Wit. CRITCHLEY seconded the motion. Mr, BIGHAM believed there was a strong feeling in town in favour of Mr. Liversedge particularly being paid his money. Mr. SMITH said it was the wish of the committee that Mr. Liversedge, who had presented a fair claim, should be paid. Mr. JACKSON thought the report ought only to be received, but after some discussion it was unanimously received and approved. Mr. GEO. ATKINS said there was a considerable sum above £3OO, and the Parish Parliamentary Water Commit tee would be glad to submit them to any impartial tribunal, but they considered that the Equitable Rating Committee were not impartial judges, inasmuch as many of the members had been members of the Old Water Committee, and the appointment of the new committee was like a vote of censure upon them. Mr. BIGIIAM asked if £3OO would cove r M r . Liver Mr. JEFFERY indignantly denied the imputation thrown out by Mr. Atkins, and proceeded to show the character and amount of some of the claims sent in. Dr. Col lins had charged for his services for fourteen day. guineas a day, and others had charged foi Y-h- lays a guinea a day. The total amount of claims , nt in twenty-four Mr. BIGHAM said there were some of those on the Parish Parliamentary Water Committee who were there for the sake of their pockets. Some of thin had made out- rageous chLrge , and the public had no sympathy with her of the committee, had Cireen, a me After some fuith ackson mod fled hi motion to simply moving that a voluntary rate of a penny in the pound be laid. The CHAIR:IIA observed that the rate ought to be ned to strictly parochial purposes. He should never ibute to the rate, if it was to be wasted in the abomi : way in which it had been was question. (Applause.) The motion having been agreed to, Mr. SMITH proposed that a comr the following thirteen gentlemen, be to th upon the Ovate: the man Hugh MOiyn ilittee, composed of formed, in addition Johnson, 1 ... P;,...nr, I'. 'K ht, Brown, aorneley, Jack- and Bradley ITCH LEY secon I the :notion, which -as carrie Mr. Smut' ' in the way of definition as to h ow th e money raised by the rate should in future be applied, moved as a.standing order, That the following be the pri mary objects of attention on the part of the Equitable Rating Committee: to secure justice to all classes of the parishioners, by enforcing the due valuation and rating of all property which ought to contribute to the local paro chial funds; to watch the local and general applications in parliament that might affect the interests of the parish, with the view of promoting those beneficial, and opposing those which might be prejudicial; to afford assistance to such public objects and such persons as the parish was in terested in assisting on clearly public grounds, but for which the law had perhaps not provided funds,—no grant of money, however, being authorised till two-thirds of the committee present had recorded a vote in favour of entering upon the subject. Mr. M'lCNlonr seconded the motion, which was at once agreed to. After some further talk, it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Bigham, seconded by Mr. Jeffery, that the £lOO to Mr. Wainwright, and £3OO to Mr. Liversedge, should be paid out of the funds in hand, and the first reeApts from the new rate.—Agreed to. Mr. ATKINS moved, and Mr. FOGARTY seeendecl, an amendment, that inasosoch as there were claims equally as legitimate as Mr. Liversedge's, these, if approved of, should be first paid out of the voluntary rate now to be collected ; but, on a divislm, there were only three hands shewn in favour of it, and' the original motion was there fore serried by a considerahle majority. Mr.. SMITH was about to' move a vote of thanks to the chairman, when Mr. FOGARTY intimated that the Parish Parliamentary Water Committee had their report to present.. This was handed in by Mr. Hart. It took credit for the committee hawing obtained the clause restricting the money to be borrowed on the Pike scheme by the Corporation to £4Bo,ooff r and stated that there was a balance still due to the committee from the Equitable. Rating Committee of £1,228, which it was respectfully requested that the meeting would order to be paid. Mr. Crtroqutoy charged Mr. Liversedge with having withdrawn £3OO which he had lent the committee at ten per cent., that he might charge a higher interest himself (Laughter.) This Mr. Liversedge denied Mr. FOGAW,Y moved, and Mr. A' the report, be received liinis seconded, that The motion was warmly opposed both by Mr. JEFFERY and Mr. BIGRAN ; and after some further discussion, the motion was lost by a large majority,- two persons only voting in favour of it. The meeting, after the usual compliment to the chair man, then broke up. CHESHIRE AND WALES. WM.

PINGRATION TO AUSTEALIA. —Woodside aiip, on Wednesday evening, was the scene of mucls, bustle amongst a number of persons (about 200, it was said) who had landed from the Princess Royal, from Glasgovr, and who have been selected by the Government agents-for the purpose of being despatched to Australia. The emigrants were chiefly young men, with a sprinkling of married men and their families. They. are principally agriculturists, and appear to be a respectable class of persons. Shortly after landing they were drafted to the Government depUt at Birkenhead, where they will remain until tha:vessels are ready to convey the: to their destination. Other parties of emigrants, from different parts of the kingdom, who , have been carefully selected, are daily expected to arrive in the Mersey, and will also be drafted to the depot until vessels be provided for their transit. SUPPOSED TRACES OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S SHIPS EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT. N.circumstance has been made public last week; which it is thought possible may lead to some conclusions rela tive to the missing arctic az pedition 1h March last it came to the knowledge of Mt. Shore, second master of her Majesty's ship Sampson, that, ac cording to the report of a Sunderland captain, two three_ masted vessels had been seen on an iceberg off Newfound land, in April, 1851, by the brig Renovation, on her pas sage to Quebec. -It being surmised that these might, by possibility, be Sir John Franklin's ships, Mr. Shore made &communication to the lords of the Admiralty, who, not withstanding the improbability attaching to the circum stance of a matter of such interest remaining so long un revealed, immediately instituted a most rigid, investi gation. After communicating with Mr. Shore, the Secretary of the Admiralty addresaed a letter to the Commander of the Coast Guard, at Sunderland, directing him to make minute inquiries. The informant of Mr. Shore was a Capt. Storey, of the Agnes, who at once confirmed the report, and referred, as his authority. to Capt. Coward,. of the Renovation. Capt. Coward, it was ascertained, bad recently sailed for 'Venice ; upon which: Capt. Storey gave the following, &Allis recollection of Captain Coward's statement " When near the east edge of the bank,. in latitude 45 , deg. 30 min. N., wind N.E., fresh breezes and clear weather, as much as I could carry foretopmast-studtling sail, fell in with icebergs, one of which was-very large,, with field ice attached to it, in which there were twa three-masted ships, having their masts struck and. yards down, and all made snug; to all appearance they, had passed the winter together in the ice. At about rive o'clock in the morning, when within one mile of thetn, the mate called to me to see the berg and ships :. by-the time I got up and dressed, and on deck,, my ship was abreast of them ; took spying-glass and carefully exa mined them, to• see if there was any one on board', but could not see-any one. At the time. I did not think of Sir John Franklin's missing ships ; anxiety to get ahead out of the danger, while the weather was clear from fogs, and being too far past before I could make up my mind, caused me not to reduce sail and examine them more accurately. lam since of opinion they might possibly be the missing- ship s ." It being- further ascertained that the wife of Captain Coward and his brother (a respectable surgeon) were living in, 'the vicinity, they were called upon,. and corro borated the above statement. They also referred to the then mate, Mr. Simpson, who had sailed as master of the Queen, for Limerick, to take out emigrants,and to an Irish gentleman who was a passenger in the Renovation. Capt. Storey also mentioned Mr. and-Mrs. Cleugh, of the Pearl, as being present when Capt. Coward made his statement. The whole of these parties have confirmed the original statement of Capt. Storey ; and Capt. Coward, master of the Renovation, will have on board the log of that vessel in which the occurrence ought to have been entered. Many remarks have been made for and against the pro bability of this story. It has been suggested that Capt. Coward probably saw his own brig reflected from two faces of the iceberg ; but to this it is replied, that those seen were three-masted full-rigged ships. An evidently well-informed correspo n d en t o f t h e L ondon Times says : —" If two such vessels were seen (and I take it no man can doubt that they were), and granting that they were the Erebus and Terror, from what part of the arctic regions did they come ? Not, surely, from the head of Baffin's Bay, we have searched there ; nor from Barrow's Strait, as far west as Melville Island, in 117 deg. west longitude ; nor from the region of Captain 0-mrnanney's explorations, now called Prince of Wales's Land ; nor can they have come 120 miles down 'Wellington Channel. The only solution of the difficulty that I sce is, by sup posing that Franklin has penetrated up the Wellington Channel far to the northward of the limit of our search for him, and that he has there met with some land in which animal life was abundant, and in. which he may still be discovered ; that his ships have been frozen in, in the same manner as Back was in the Terror, and that, on their `icy cradle' breaking away, Sir John and his com panions have taken to the land, with all the boats and provisions they could get together; that the berg has taken the course pursued by thousands of others; that is, through the sea to the northward of Spitzbergen down the east coast of Greenland, and so into the Atlantis still more probable, by the route the' shown with such apparent good r, n be searched for in the early spr bla and Spit-1-- nen."

T —A return to the House of Contt _, • ),000 ; and in Ibsl 0),U00 ; THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1852. MONDAY pr Ce , I air, and O. Cooper, D. E M. W brief and appropriate speech, commenced the proceedings by calling upon Mr. James Gaskell to propose the first WLici " That the electors of West Derby Ward, now assem bled, having entire confidence in the Earl of Derby, be lieve it to be their bounden duty to assist in returning to Parliament members who will aid him in conducting the government of the country upon sound Protestant prin ciples; and_ considering that the opinions recently enun- ciated by W. Forbes Mackenzie, E , q., and Charles Turner, Esq., in their respective addresses, fully entitle those gentlemen to their cordial support, they hereby pledge themselves to use every lawful exertion to secure their return as members for this borough at the approach ing general election." Mr. WHATHAM seconded the resolution ; and in an excellent speech advocated the return to Parliament of Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie, as men on whom they could rely, and in whose hands the Protestant Church and Constitution would be safe. Mr. ARTHUR HENDERSON spoke in support of the reso lution at great length, amidst loud applause, exposing in a happy manner the tricks of the Whigs to keep them- selvei in office. Mr. W. Rowan moved the second resolution, con taining the names of an influential committee, to canvass the electors of the ward ; and in an able manner showed the injury done by the repeal of the Navigation Laws, not only to the shipowner, but also to the labouring classes in this town. Mr. WHITBY briefly seconded the resolution, which was_unanimously carried. Mr. Councillor Woo n spoke in support of the resolu tion, and alluded to the interest which Lord Derby had taken in our local institutions. Mr. T. BOLD, who was next called upon, said, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie had since his speech at the Amphi theatre, both by word of mouth and by letter, distinctly asserted that if any motion for the repeal of the grant to Maynooth was brought forward in Parliament, he should certainly support it. This announcement was received with enthusiastic cheers.) After alluding to the manner in which Sir Thomas Birch had been insulted by the Popish faction, because he would not do their dirty work, Mr. Bold said that a few days since he met one of the most influential Roman Catholics in an omnibus. He said to him—" How can you consistently vote for Mr. Cardwell ?" " Oh," said this gentleman, "we shall vote for Cardwell, not for what he has done, but for what he has promised to do for us." (Hear, bear.) A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and, after loud cheers for Lord Derby, Mr. W. Forbes Mac kenzie, and Mr. C. Turner, the meeting separated. WARD MEETINGS OF THE LIBERAL PARTY. Meetings of the Liberal party have been held during the week in some of the various wards. On Thursday evening, the electors of Rodney-street Ward,. favourable to the return of Messrs. Cardwell and Ewart, met at the Arcade Hall, Heathfield-street. The proceedings, we are told, were of a unanimous character. —On Friday evening the Freetrac:e electors of St. Peter's Ward' met at the Brunswick Hotel, Geo. Maxwell, Esq., being in the chair. Owing, however, to the absence through illness of the secretary, Mr. Baugh, the lists and canvassing books were not forthcoming; and the meeting was adjourned to one o'clock on Saturday, when a working committee was to be appointed.—A meeting of the electors of Scotland Ward was also held on Friday night, at the Castle Ta vern ; and, after sundry addresses had been delivered, a Ward Committee was formed.—On Friday evening. the Free-traders of the North and South Toxteth Wards met at the Toxteth-hall. Mr. Alpass was called to the chair; and amongst the gentlemen present were, Mr. Councillor Rogers, Mr. Ambrose Lace, Mr. John Aikin, Mr. C. E. Rawlins, &e. Mr. Aikin nominated a com mittee, the motion being seconded by Mr. Spence, and carried. Mr. C. E. Rawlins afterwards addressed the meeting. HEALTH COMMITTEE.—On , Thursday, at the usua weekly meeting Alderman Langsdale presided.. The medical officer of health reported that the deaths registered in the borough fell last week to 223, a decrease of 30. Diseases of the lungs caused a mortality of 73, against 88 in the previous week. During the quarter ending the 29th of March the deaths (including 119 on which inquests were held) were 2,930, being 238iless than in the previous quarter, and 1€& less than in the same quuarter on. the average of the four preceding years. The mean tempera.. tare of the quarter was 42940'degrees, about the average of the season. The mean reading of the barometer was rather above the average, being 29 9G inches. The wind blew from the eastward on a part or the whole of 50 days. The rainfall amounted to 5 88; inches. but during the last half of the year the amount collected did not exceed 9 1 -10ths of an inch. THIS ARCISITECTURAL SecIETY. The fifteenth meeting of the session was held on Wednesday even ing last, at the Royal Institution, Mr. Charles Verelst in the chair. Several donations tothe library were announced. Some conversation took place respecting the students' designs, which were much praised. The vexed question of the organ for St. George's Hallalso led to a discussion. Mr. Horner explained the leading features of his design, which appeared to meet with the favourable consideration of the society.—Mr. W. Weightman read a paper " On the application of salt water to domestic purposes.".-Mr. A. Rimnier read a paper on " Sepulchral effigies and in scriptions in churches."—The secretary, Mr. J. Boult, read a paper " On the proposed breakwater on the Mer sey." The details of the plan were explained by Mr. Boult, who illustrated his views by diagrams. He ex pressed himself favourable to Mr. Rennie's project, and hoped at some future time be see it carried out.—Some objections to the plan were raised by Mr. Horner, and replied to by Mr. Boult.—Thanks were voted to those members who had read papers, after which the meeting broke up. MEETING OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY.—A meeting of the members of this society and their friends was held on Thursday, in the Lecture-hall of the Royal Institution. The meeting was held in the day time, in order to meet the convenience of many of the country members, who had expressed a desire to be present. Ladies as well as gentlemen were admitted. Sir E. Cust, viae•president, was called to the chair. The numerous antique menu scripts, works of art, and other relics which have from time to time been presented to the society were arranged on the lecture table for the inspection of the company. Mr. Mayer's museum of Egyptian antiquities, &c., and the museum of the Royal Institution, were thrown open before and after the meeting. The Rev. Dr. Hume read a communication from Mr. Boardman, relative to a docu-.. ment submitted at a former meeting of the society, bearing the signature of the great hero, Nelson. The• Rev. T. Moore read a brief account of the society's ope rations from its foundation, in June, 1948, to the present time.—Dr. Hume then proceeded to notice some of the objects in the society's collection. They comprised brass rubbings, models of Roman pavement, &c. ; there was also ancient glass, the whole series of Hoylake anti quities, numerous relics from Pool-hall, in Cheshire,. seals, Roman vases, ancient locks and keys, model of an altar, shoes and sandals, a bone skate, an elegant Saxon torque, the truncheon belonging to the regiment of Liver pool volunteers, ancient shoes, &c., &c. Dr. Kendrick, of Warrington, read his paper respecting the siege of Warrington, in 1643, and of some manuscripts lately discovered there. Dr. Kendrick exhibited two curious chessmen of jet, found in excavations at the Mote-hill, Warrington ; and handed round a printed account, accompanied by a lithographic view. Dr. Hume exhibi ted some Australian shielda, proving that heraldic distinc tions had their foundation in human nature, and then drew attention to a family history, in the form of a roll, of which only a small portion is executed. It contained the line of the ancient Scottish kings, including Macbeth. The company then proceeded to view Mr. Mayer's Egyptian museum, in Colquitt-street. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. THE TYROLESE MtNsTßELs.—These minstrels, who it may be remembered had the honour of singing, and also of executing some of the national dances before her Majesty and the court, and elicited hearty applause, will appear at the Concert-hall next week. HUNGARIAN MUSICAL COMPANY.—These talented performers, whose appearance has elicited much approba tion in the musical circles on the continent, are engaged to appear at the Philharmonic-hall next week. From the accounts which have reached us we look forward to the enjoyment of a rare musical treat. SOCIETY ARWONICA.—The tenth dress concert of this society will be held in the Assembly Rooms, Great George-street, on Friday next. Miss Emma Sorge, with Messrs. A. D. Graham and Armstrong, are announced as vocalists ; while Mr. E. W. Thomas will perform on the violin, and Miss Jessie Hammond on the piano. The selection of music seems very interesting. THE AMATEUR PERFORMANCE, last night, passed off with great eclat. The audience was numerous and fashionable, and the amateurs acquitted themselves with considerable ability. After paying the expenses, a tolerably good sum will he appropriated for the benefit of the Froe Public Library. The comedy was well performed, and duly appreciated by the audience. The burlesque wan too old-fashioned for the present taste, and though the actors made everything of the "points," it was decidedly too "slow." We cannot form a proper judgment of the farce, not having stayed until its conclusion, but from what we saw of it, there was little to enhance the reputa tion of our local dramatic authors. The incidents were tame, the dialogue stupid, and the witticisms exceedingly "far-fetched." ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE—" The Corsican Brothers" has not proved such an attraction as was generally ex. petted ; indeed the attendance for the past week, consi dering it was the Easter holidays, has been unusually limited. We regret this, for the piece abounds with novel effects, which the manager has been at considerable ex pense to produce in proper style. A very clever ballet, entitled " Pug in Petticoats," has been played during the week, in which Mons. Huline apes with considerable agi. lity the mischievous tricks of one of the monkey tribe. Mr. E. L. Davenport, the tragedian, and Miss Fanny Vining, are engaged for a short time, and will appear on TROOP-SHIPS.- - With the calamitous loss of the Bir kenhead fresh in our minds, it is satisfactory to learn that the Duke of Northumberland has decided on one change which the just complaints of military men have never been able to extort from his predecessors at the Admiralty.
