Cheques were ordered to the amount of £879 15s. 11d. The business was routine, and comprised no items of particular interest. LIVERPOOL MAnnez SOCIETY.—The adjourned annual meeting of the Captains' Annuitant Society was held on Tuesday last, at the Clarendon-rooms, when Mr. W. R. Sandbach took the chair. It was announced that the income to be divided was £493, and the scale of payment adopted was £1 a-year more to adults than last year ; two captains above 60 years old, £24 ; one captain below 60, £2l ; ten widows above 60, £l9 ; eleven widows below 60, £l7 each. Eight orphans will be provided for, according to the scale of last year. These payments would leave a balance to the credit of the annuity fund of £lOO, the same amount as last year. £lO were then voted from the relief fund to the daughters of Captain Jones, recently deceased. It was stated by the Secretary that several new members had joined during the last 12 months; and though the persons entering now had to pay an additional 50 per cent., this was still the cheapest form of insurance in existence. Liveneoos, NORTHERN HOSPITAL. —The annual meet ing of the friends and subscribers of this institution was held at the board-room on Tuesday last. Wm. Brown, Esq., M.P., was in the chair. The attendance of sub scribers was very small. The report of the committee, which was read by Mr. R. B. Anderson, the vice-presi dent, showed the following results :—Admitted during the past year—accidents, 1,993; medical cases on recom mendation, 504; surgical ditto, 420. In-patients, Dec. 1850, 102; total, 3,019. Discharged cured, 2,294; re lieved, and at own request, 423 ; irregular, 69 ; incurable, 12; died, 111; attending as out-patients, 20; remaining in the hospital, 90. Of the accidents, 396 were fractures, 39 dislocations, 57 burns and scalds, 1,430 wounds and contusions, 6 suspended animation, 5 attempted suicides, 60 various. Of the whole number of cases, 1,147 were sent in from the town ; 440 from the docks ; 32 from manufactories; 203 from ships; 35 from warehouses; 16 from the canal; and 120 from the railways. The locali ties whence the patients originally came, were, Liverpool, 505 - different parts of En g l an d, 614 ; I re l an d , 1 , 1 13 ; Scotland, 70 ; Wales, 92 ; and foreigneri, 625. The chairman remarked that he was glad the localities of the patients had been mentioned, as it must show the strong and extensive claim of the institution to public support. The statement of accounts showed a balance to the credit of the institution of £533 13s. The report was subse quently ordered to be printed. The customary votes of thanks were passed, and a committee for the ensuing year appointed ; T. Littledale, Esq.. mayor, being president. DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on Thursday. Mr. Turner presided. The annual return of the marine surveyor set forth the number of ships that had passed the channel, the assistance rendered by the life-boats, &c., for the year, with the consumption of oil, and other expenses.—A complaint was made that the officers of the telegraph station had neglected to report the Europa on her last voyage from New York. The matter was referred.—The proposition of Mr. Robinson, to take a portion of land from the Queen's Dock to add to the west quay of the proposed Wapping Dock, was referred to the committee of works.—Mr. Nicol brought forward his motion relative to the establishment of an emigrants' home. A memorial was read in favour of the proposition from 180 commercial firms of the town. This set forth the great hardships and impositions systemati cally practised upon emigrants from this port, the average number of whom, per annum, was about 200,000 ; and it was calculated that the amount of which they were yearly plundered was about a quarter of a million of pounds. There were about 500,000 tons of shipping employed in the trade, realising a sum of £40,000 per annum to the dock estate. The memorialists urged the' necessity of the immediate establishment of an emigrants' home ; and suggested that the committee should, for a temporary purpose, appropriate a warehouse to the object. Mr. Holme seconded the proposition. Mr. Evans thought it rather the duty of the Council than of the Dock Com mittee to interfere in such a matter. A special committee on the subject was then appointed.—The committee shortly afterwards proceeded to business of finance DEAF AND DUMB SC 1100 LS.—The annual meeting of the subscribers to this institution took place in the school-room, Oxford-street, on Thursday last. The Rev. A. Camp bell presided, and the Rev. T. Bold, Messrs. H. Banner, A. Ellis, A. Thompson, R. Rathbone, and R. Rathbone, jun.. were also present. The reportof the committee was read by the secretary, which stated that the condition of the schools was satisfactory ; hut that an institution of the kind could never be regarded as completely successful until able to afford its advantages to every poor applicant free of charge.

Lewis and King for their gratuitous exhibition, as well as " to the officers of the institution for their kindness in aiding them to attend the same." for the been filled r ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE COUNCIL. The MAYOR took the chair at the adjourned meeting on Wednesday last. HEALTH COMMITTEE. The resignation of Mr. Parker was accepted. The ex chairman stated that no one could be more ready in for giving hasty expressions, but he could not feel comfortable in sitting at the board while certain gentlemen remained there. The resignation of Mr. Bennett was not received, and he, therefore, assumes the chairmanship of the com mittee. Both Mr. Fernihough's and Mr. Picton's resig nations were accepted. The latter gentleman, however, disclaimed any connection with the matters which have recently agitated the committee, and explained that his withdrawal arose entirely from inability to perform addi tional duties. rual regularit THE OBSERVATORY : MR. HARTNUP'S REMUNERATION. The proceedings of the committee contained a letter from Professor Bond, of Cambridge, United States, com plimenting the Corporation upon the satisfactory conclu sion of the experiments for obtaining, by an exchange of chronometers, a given point of longitude, in order to calculate time correctly.—Mr. NEILL, the Chairman of the Observatory Committee, said that no less than two hundred chronometers had been transmitted. An exact point of longitude was now established, and our vessels could receive from America the correct time just in the same way as it was obtained from Greenwich. Alluding to the cost of the anemometer, Mr. Neill observed, that the sum appropriated by the Corporation was £l5O, but that an additional cost of £lO had been incurred by the erection of an instrument to indicate the motion of the atmosphere.--The proceedings also embraced a letter from Mr. Hartnup, the astronomer at the Observatory, re questing an increase of salary, and a recommendation of the committee that the remuneration of Mr. Hartnup be raised from £2OO to £3OO per annum. —The proceedings were confirmed, the item of salary remaining over for a month, according to standing orders. The meeting then broke up LIBRARY AND MUSEUM The Earl of Derby had communicated with the Mayor, asking whether the subject of the Derby Museum had come before the Council at large, and whether his lord- ship might consider the terms as definitively accepted ; more particularly with regard to the appointment of a curator by the Council, from two names mentioned by the trustees. If such were the case, his lordship would call the trustees together and make the recommendation. The Mayor, in his reply, on the 27th December, trans mitted to the Earl of Derby a Copy of the last resolution of the Council, explaining that the Town-clerk had de layed forwarding it, in the hope of being able to send a print of the bill. He also, in the absence of Mr. Picton, informed the Council that he had held an interview with Lord Derby, from whom a subsequent letter had been received, wishing the Council to take charge of the mu seum, as his lordship was leaving Knowsley on the 22d instant. In accordance with the agreement sanctioned by the Council, his worship thought it advisable—Mr. Picton, and the committee generally, concurring —that the Council should in some measure sanction, as far as they could, the appointment of one of the two curators whom Lord Derby had nominated, in order that he might commence his duties at once, and, indeed, superintend the removal of the museum itself from Knowsley. The name of the party was Thomas Moore, twenty-eight years of age, who for nine years had been curator at Knowsley. The committee had recommended £l2O per annum as the salary, the sum being, in the opinion of Lord Derby, a full compensation. To this the Council assented, and the proceedings of the committee were approved. THE CAR PROPRIETORS AND THE COUNCIL. A memorial from the coach and car proprietors was read, at the conclusion of the minutes, objecting to the bye-law compelling them to light their lamps, and urging that a requirement which they deemed so grievously offensive might be abolished, and that the lamps might be lighted only on the demand of passengers.—Some dis cussion took place on the memorial, but finally the pro ceedings of the Committee were confirmed, Mr. WOOD RUFF stating, that though the law must be carried out during the remainder of the season, yet afterwards, if it should appear to the committee that the regulations en tailed a hardship upon the owners, their representations, he was sure, would be taken into consideration. The minutes and proceedings of the Church Expendi ture Committee were read and confirmed. The proceedings of the Water Committee were approved and Passed. on the motion of Mr. HOLT, seconded by Mr. WOODRUFF.—No discussion took place. The Coroner's account, amounting to £36 75., was re ceived, and referred to the Finance Committee forpayment. A communication from Mr. Theodore Rathbone, Pre sident of the Royal Institution, expressing the wish of the proprietors to make over to the Council as a free gift their specimens of natural history, works of art, and pic tures, was referred to the Museum Committee. A memorial from a Coroner's jury, respecting insuffi cient allowance for proceeding three miles to view dead bodies, was ordered to lie on the table. A memorial from the committee of the Liverpool Town Mission, urging a relaxation of the bye-law in regard to carmen plying on Sundays, in order to give them time to attend places of worship, or to remain quietly at hom was referred to the Coach and Car Committee. One or two other applications were referred to tl committees having charge of the business to which the related. The Council then rose. MEETING OF THE PILOTS COMM On Thursday last, a meeting of the commissioners pilots was held at the Town-ball, ISSIONER . . pointing seven gentlemen to fill vacancies caused by deal in their own body, and of electing a new committee. THOS. LITTLEDALE, Esq., the Mayor, presided ; al amongst the commissioners present were Messrs. Kei dell, Beckwith. Dover, James Tyrer, Nicholson. Jone Henderson, Jeffreys. Lloyd, Godfrey, Bigham, Ho Fisher, Rowett, R. W. Houghton, Bennett, Jenkin Mr. David Rowland, the secretary, and Capt. ( the superintendent of pilots, were also present The following letter was re - "Sir,—A very strong charge of neglect of (bit) to the assembling of the pilot commissioners, bath. by a member of the Town Council at the last meet. much of what fell from the honourable councilman is in fact, I trust yon will permit me, on the first pr after the accusation, to disabuse the minds of any persons wt may have read that statement.

The committee. therefore, have been dnly appointed, and their proceedings are. consequently, not illegal. With respect to information as to the commissioners and members of the committee of pilots, I beg to say that I hav( been at all times ready to afford information, when applied by any commissioner, and that I have never been applied by the honourable member for information on that particul subject.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient burnt servant, "DAVID ROWLAN I "Pilot Committee-room, 15th January, .cretars Mr. BIGHAM said he would at once ack he had made P mistake, in saying that the It present at that meeting. He should have s;: .d the meet ing was not legal because the Mayor was not one of the ten who signed the notice calling the meeting, and each proceeding since that had been illegal. Mr. LOWNDES, solicitor.—T beg pardon, I deny that Mr. BIGHAM said he found in page 8 of upon the death of commissioners or of a cler to be elected at a meeting called by ten of the survivik. commissioners, "of which the M a y or s h a ll b e one. " As to what Mr. owland had stated of the willingness of the officials to give every information to the commissioners, he begged to say that they were not ready, and he believed simply because they thought they could not be compelled. He (Mr. Bigham) bad gone to the office, being made ac quainted with his powers as a commissioner, to search the books, and Mr. Rowland had refused to let him. He— not to bring the secretary into trouble—promised not to repeat the demand till Mr. R. could consult with Mr. Lowndes, who stated that he was authorised. He had then waded through the books, and made some extracts; he begged to say that he had had every facility in making the extracts, and the books appeared to be kept in an admirable manner. What he objected to were, not acts of commission, but of omission, in not carrying out the spirit of the act. He contended that not a single man sitting on the committee had been legally appointed. Mr. LOWNDES said it was not imperative by the act that the Mayor should he present at a meeting ; by signing the minutes of the proceedings of the ten he adopted them. After some further explanations from Mr. Rowland, the matter dropped. was not the act, that, .k, others were The following gentlemen were thEn elected commis sioners, to supply the vacancies and make up the full number of 72 :—Messrs. Tyrer, F►sher, Lurie, Bushby, Brice, Saunders, and Freme. The next business was the election of the committee. Mr. GODFREY suggested the appointment of persons not connected with shipping —men who could not be in fluenced by being interested in ship-chandlers' stores, bread-baking, .&c. He had facts to prove that there ought to be a different set of men upon that committee, to see justice done between the committee and the pilots themselves ; for he found that some eentlemen had been sitting on that committee at times when they should pro. perly have been absent. In the case of a pilot named Wm. Morrison, against whom some charge was brought connected with the bringing in of the Sir John Beresford, which lielongs to Mr. Benn, Mr. Benn was sitting there. He (Mr. Godfrey) thought this was not jast, and moved that Mr. I3igham be placed upon the committee. Mr. BECKWITH seconded the motion. Mr.BiGuAmcould not agree with Mr. God frey 'sremarks. Mr. R. W. HOUGHTON was much surprised at the ob servations of Mr. Godfrey. In regard to the Sir John Beresford, their then chairman, Mr. Benn, presided upon that occasion; but he (Mr. Houghton) was in a position to state that ho took no part in it. He thought it desirable that they should have shipowners upon the committee, not tradesmen who have other business to attend to. In the last twelve months there were only three days in which there was not a quorum. He therefore moved the re-e 1( tion of 6 1.0 i. late chairman, Mr. J. N. Wood not. less Mr. BIGHAM seconded the motion, which was agreed to. Mr. JENKINS showed the necessity existing of having as many nautical men as possible upon the committee, who had often to examine young pilots. In answer to Mr. Jeffreys, it was stated that the master pilots attended the examinations, but they were interested in the promotion of the parties. The committee was then appointed as follows, Mr. Wro. Fisher, who was nominated, giving way for Mr. Brice : Messrs. Wood, Brice, Bighorn, Houghton, Jenkins, Shand, Potter, Eyre Evans, Kendall, and Nicholson, new members • and the following were re - e l ec t e d,—M essrs. Mann, Vorrall. and Kneeshaw, making the total num ber of 13. Mr. ROWE, shipbroker, pointed out the desirability of having the committee meetings open to reporters. The MAYOR said it was a question for the committee themselves to decide. FREEDOM FROM COUGH IN TEN MINUTES AFTER USE, IS INSURED BY DR. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS.—From the Rev.
