TUESDAY, JANUARY ST. Junes DISTRICT AND MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. —The first annual meeting of this association was held on Monday evening last week, in the school-room beneath St. Jude's church. The Rev. J. B. Lowe, the incumbent, presi ded, and after singing and prayer, addressed the meeting. Three declaratory resolutions, proposed and seconded by Mr. Hubhack, Mr. Batty, the Rev. Mr. Wallace, Mr. Benson, Mr. Pilcher, and Mr. Green, respectively, were passed ; and, on the motion of Mr. Bainhrigge, surgeon, seconded by Mr. Poole, a school committee for the en suing year was appointed. Thanks were voted to the ladies and gentlemen who had kindly acted as district visitors and Sunday-school teachers during the past year. In making a few observations on the proceedings of the meeting, at its close, the chairman, alluding to missionary effort, said that nearly all our home associations owed their origin to the interest which had been taken in the conver sion of the heathen abroad. He also referred to the proposed great meeting in Liverpool in opposition to the Maynooth grant, and bore his testimony, founded on ex perience, to the value of the labours of Scripture readers, and to the permanent usefulness which had been eff, cted by the St. Jude's Sunday schools. There were, he stated, at the present time in the schools nearly 40f) scholars.

LANCASHIRE EMPLOYERS OF OPERATIVE ENOI• NEERS.—The great employers of labour in this department of trade in Lancashire had a meeting on Tuesday evening at the Clarence Hotel, Manchester, at which they decided on joining and becoming a portion of the Central Associ• T. B. Sharp; of the firm of Sharp Brothers and Manchester. The meeting appeared to be unani mous in their determination to resist every attempt at dictation on the part of the men as alike injurious to employer and employed ; an esta shments had singly resisted such attempts at dicta tion on former occasions, and had been successful. Some, however, had not shown sufficient firmness, and had be come the slaves of their men, and submitted to the grossest tyranny, dictated by a few unseen agitators. We learn that there is a good deal of sympathy with the employers under the extraordinary dictation attempted, and that though many of them are under bonds or engage. merits to complete machinery by a given time, their customers have signified the greatest readiness to extend the utmost amount of indulgence that may be sought in the completion of their contracts.--The committee of the association met on Friday afternoon at the Clarence Hotel, to decide upon the steps to be taken in respect to r. the demands of the workmen. It was reported by sm.. ral of the masters that the members of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, Machinists, &c., had not availed themselves of the opportunity afforded them of disavow ing and withdrawing the demands made upon their em- ployers, and that the same had in several Instances been enforced. It was therefore resolved unanimously that the establishments of the members of the association Shall be closed on the 12th of January (this day week). During the sitting of the committee in Manchester, a telegraphic message was forwarded to the London com mittee to the above effeot, and in about an hour an answer was received saying that the London employers had passed a similar resolution in respect to their esta blishments. We are, then, on the eve of one of those unfortunate turn-outs which are alike disastrous to the interests of employers and workpeople, but we hope that the matters in dispute may be arranged without a pro. longed suffering of the disadvantages attendant on such proceedings.—Manchester Courier. HEALTH COMMITTEE.--At a meeting of this body on Wednesday, neither Mr. Parker, the chairman, nor Mr. Bennett, the vice-chairman, being present, Mr. Langs dale was called upon to preside. The members present were Messrs. Lloyd, Nicholson, Johnson, Chalmer, Dover, Henderson, Atkinson, Tyrer, and Beckwith. The medi cal officer of health reported that the rapid variations of temperature, and the moist and foggy state of the atmos phere, had had an unfavourable effect upon the health of the town, the deaths registered during the fortnight end ing on the last Saturday of 1851 having been 484, while the average of the corresponding period of the three pre ceding years was only 418. The mean temperature of last week was 40 1-10 degrees, and of the previous week 43 4-19 degrees; but the temperature was unusually va riable, the highest being 50i degrees on the 21st, arid the lowest 31 3.10 degrees on last Saturday. The rainfall each week amounted to only 10.100ths of an inch ; but Mr. Hartnup stated that the deposit of moisture during the fog of Tuesday, in last week, was so great, that about 3.looChs of an inch (equivalent to a moderate shower of rain) collected in the rain guage. A return was read of the receipts and payments on account of the establishment of baths and washhouses, for the three months ending the 30th Nov., 1851. They were as follows :—Cornwallis. street, amount received for the use of the baths £330 7s. 11d.; balance, after deducting expenses, .£.38 17s. Id. Paul-street, amount received for baths and washing uten sils, £l4B Is. 6d. ; expenses, £231 14s. 10d. ; deficiency, £B3 13s. 4d.

Recapitulation : Debits, Paul-street, £B3 13s. 4d ; Frederick-street, £29 ls. 2d. ; incidental expenses, £2 9s. 3d. ; total, £ll5 13s. 9d. The credits deducted from this sum, viz.. Cornwallis street £3B 17s. ld., and George's Pier-head £l6 ss. 11d., (total £55 Os. 2d.,) leave a loss to the Borough Fund of £6O Os. 9d. A memorial was read from the inha bitants of Pitt-street and Great George-street Wards, praying for the establishment of wash-houses in that neighbourhood. Mr. Lloyd observed that the plans and specifications for the Frederick-street wash-houses of a very were now nearly ready, and, in ... short time, the engineer would be:prepared to advertise for tenders to get the work done. When these premises were completed, the neighbourhood of Pitt.street and Great George-street would be supplied. Metter was read from Mr. Picton, tendering his resignation as a member of the committee.

T. B. HORSFALL —On Tuesday evening last, a party of friends assembled at the residence o - Mr. Anderson, Northumberland House, Everton, where, for the amusement of the juvenile guests, arrange ments had been made for an exhibition of fireworks. In the course of this display, a fire-balloon was discharged, and ascended at first rapidly and to the perfect delight of the young spectators. Passing over the grounds, how "ae balloon got entangled among the bouehs of a try B. Ho of the premises respected I Liverpool tr.

In doing so, owing to the darkness of the night and the uncertain light of the balloon, Mr. Horsfall — as led to miscalculate the distance of the tree, and to the intervention of a sunken fence which bounds . The consequence was, that he fell with such into the hollow as to fracture the bone of one of between the knee and ancle. He was immedi Am )verloo ately assisted into the hoUse ot promptly attended by Mr. Bainbrigge, surgeon, and two other medical gentlemen. This accident not only abruptly terminated the festive enjoyment of the evening in question, but has occasioned very general regret throughout the town. The public will be gratified to `earn that Mr. Horsfall goes on favourably. - `BATH UNDER MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCES.—An -49 held on Thursday, on the body of Mr. John man most respectably connected.
