A special meeting of the Board of Guardians, for the West Derby Union, was held yesterday, for the purpose of investigating into certain charges against Mr. William Tristram, one of the relieving officers of the union. The investigation was conducted by Mr.' Austin, Assistant Poor-law Commissioner. There was a moderately full attendance of guardians. The charges against Mr. Tristram were contained in the following resolution :—" It having been stated to the Board by Mr. Peers, a member thereof, and one of the Overseers of the township of West Derby, that James Parkes, labourer, recently and suddenly deceased, had ap plied to the Relieving officer of the West Derby District in this union, on Tuesday, the 15th December instant, for relief for himself and family, consisting of a wife and four young children, the said James Parkes labouring at the time under a severe asthma, so that he was wholly un able to work ; that the said application was made at the workhouse during the sitting of the Guardians, and that the said Relieving Officer dismissed the applicant without taking him before the Board, without relieving him, and without afterwards visiting him or his family, who, as it has been ascertained, were at the time in a condition of perfect destitution, as to food of any kind. That the said. James Parkes with great difficulty reached his home, a dis tance of about a mile from the workhouse ; and that on arriving he told his wife, as Mr. Peers is informed, that his heart was broken, and he died the next day. It was resolved, that this case be duly investigated by this Board, and that all parties acquainted with any circumstances re lative thereto be requested to give evidence thereon. That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Poor-law Commissioners, with a respectful request that the Assist ant Poor-law Commissioner do attend to conduct such inquiry, and that an early day , , not being a Board day, be apointed for that purpose.-JOAN SHEPPARD, Chair man." . . The proceedings commenced by a statement from Mr. PEERS, the main facts of which will be found contained in the following evidence: — Mr. Peter Bradshaw, of Prescot-street; Low-hill, was the first witness. His examination, like that of all the other witnesses, was taken upon oath, and the questions, in the first instance, were put to him by Mr. PEERS. He said, I am a rate-book clerk and assistant-overseer of the township of West Derby.

A friend has sent us a list of her Majesty's steam vessels afloat and not yet completed, by which it appears there are 156 steamers afloat, of which 43 are not yet com pleted-27 of which are for paddles, and 16 with an ag gregate power of 6644 horses, or an average of 4154 horse pOwer each vessel, for screws. The Terrible and Fervent, each 1842 tons, are ,the largest steamers in the navy. They are both paddle steamers, and, with the Retribu tion, 1640 tons, have engines of 800 horse power each. The Simoon is the screw steamer with the greatest power, 780 horses ; when she is finished we shall see how her performances bear comparison with the three steamers (paddles) which arc so near her own power. Next comes the Vulcan (screw), with 700 horse power ; then the Euphrates and Termagent, 620 horse power each ; the Dauntless, 580 horse power; the Greenock, 510 horse power, and many more of 400, 300, 200, and 100 horse power, will, by the time they are all in commission and have been tried, give us some very good idea of the prac ticability of the screw as a means of propulsion for war steamers. The steam-ships of war belonging to the French navy completed, in senie,e, and in course of construction, only number 91 vessels altogether, of which number 19 are in course of construction,"with an aggregate power of 5080 horses, or, on an average, 2671 horse power each vessel. The vessels the French have in course of construction' are, one of 640, two of 450, six of 320, two of 220, six of 160, one of 120, and one of 100 horse power each. Although in numerical strength we can show a great superiority over our neighbours, we arc, we fear, not in a position to rely too much on our practical sunerioritv_ We have a number of completely useless vessels for the ordinary purposes of warfare, or, as experience has lately shewn us, even for the purpose of carrying jiie mails. Every crotchetty old commander with sufficienrinfluence to get an appointment from the Admiralty, has been allowed to construct a steamer, and everybody knows that many vessels have been built in consequence that have turned out perfectly useless. As far as iron steamers, either for paddles or screws, are concerned, we are certain that Liverpool is behind no port in the world, nor her Majesty's dockyards, for turning out beautiful models, substantial work, and engines and machinery that will defy competition. Let our war steamers be built by con: tract, (always under superintendence,) and we are sure the country will be great gainers, both in cost and quality. John Shaw Leigh, Eiq, Josias Booker, Hugh J.

SIJBCRIBED CAPITAL, £500,000 At a numerous meeti ng November, 1846. of the Proprietors, held at th Com: my's Offices, 25, Pall Mall, on the 26th instant, it was e shown by the Report of the Auditors and Directors— That this Company= was the first to Assure DISEASED AND INVALID LIVES in a systematic manner, and on the same safe and defined principles as those on which ordinary Offices assure Healthy Lives ; and't hat at the present it is the only Company furnished with scientific wad well-constructed Tables showing the duration of life in the , ditTerent classes and various stages.of disease. That the Public have feltthe urgent necessity for a Company established on such principles, was rendered manifest by the fact, that during. the periodof five years in which the Society bad been in . business, no%less than 2051 proposals had 'been made to'-it, covering Assurances to upwards of One Million of money. , The nuMber of Policies issued far exceeds the average of that of most of the old and successful Offices in a similar pe riod; and the business has been gradually prooTessive the 7 • ' number Of Policies ;sm.."' ..... thaueu.tiaring the year nearly triple that in the first year of the Society's last existence bei ; n g showing that as the establishment of'the Company has become more generally known, the public have more freely embraced the pe culiar advantages which; it offers, thus affording every reason to believe that the business of the Company will still go on ra pidly increasing. . Obtained possession of a watch, the property of Mr - . Joshua Walmesley. The latter stated that he had bought ...the ticket for the watch (which was in pledge) eight months ago, from the prisoner. It was pledged for 3s. 6d. In June last, the prisoner went to the pawnbroker, and represented that he had lost the ticket. He then, by the usual process of affidavit, redeemed the article, and it was found in his possession. He was remanded until yesterday, and when again brought up, the case being farther confirmed, the prisoner was committed for trial at the next assizes. SEACOMBE SLIP.—For some time past, owing to -the That the number of deaths that have taken place has been under the number estimated by the Tables of the Society li nearly ten per cent.; strong proof of the safety and correctness of the data and principles on which they are founded ; and that these facts conclusively show that busines in INVALID LIVES can be transacted with as much .safety as that in HEALTHY LIVES; that the prejudice which once prevailed against this class of business is rapidly disappearing; and that there are few Companies which are not satisfied that this kind of Areal, new wor ks erecting on t hat side of iVallese “x“.. uun n111(1 tll /11561, ance may be done with security and profit, so much so that se veral have now become anxious for it. That it is also gratify ing to be able to state, that avery large proportion of old-esta blished Offices have latterly co-operated with this Society by sendin ,, it a considerable amount afbusiness. That the public have derived a great benefit from the esta blishment of this •Company, is. shown by the fact, that 66 per cent. of the lives assured had been rejected by other offices; 'thus extending the highly valuable benefits of Life Assurance to a large section of the community not embraced by other companies. This result will be the better understood when it is stated, that in the mature period of life the de a th s ' f rom one disease only, Consumption, in the principal towns of England, are more than one-third of the total deaths in the Ramp npri.ri • A .1 fa. • . _ sand and silt have been accumulating near SeacOmbe Ferry, preventing altogether the landing of small craft on the south side of the slip. On Saturday it was found that the deposit had so greatly increased, that the wheels of the•moveable slip had become too firmly embedded to be moved by the engine; and at high water the sea made a clear breach over the slip and engine, carrying away the engine house,llut happily doing not so much injury to the ma chinery of the engine itself. We imagine that this occur ence will form the subject of litigation betweeti, the owners of the ferry and the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners. IMPROVEMENTS IN I 3 IRRENHEAD. — Amongst the many improvements that are daily manifesting themselves in this locality, there is none more worthy of notice than that of the erection by Mr. G reen o f a su it e o f sp l end i d rooms, to • facilitate his business as an auctioneer and general furnisher.

In about five minutes I asked him what his business was. lie stated he was on his way to the Union Workhouse to see the relieving officer, but he found he could not get there in time, looking up to the clock, and observing it was then past ten. I asked him if he wanted relief. lie said he did, as he had. not tasted any food from the morning not be in time, and that we wo7.ifrirZire' a car for him. During .this time I had spoken to Ralph Orritt, the assistant highway surveyor, who was then in the office, and asked him to join me in paying for the car for the man. This is what I mean by "we." When I told the man we would get a car for him, he seemed much pleased and gratified. A car was then got, and the man sent in it to the Union Workhouse. I paid the fare. I never iw the man again. On the Friday morning I had some r ...ersation with mr. Dolling and Mr. Peers. The man told me he lived on Edge-hill, where I don't know, and that he had been an hour and a half in walking from his home to the Public -office ; and he said it would take him two hours more to get to the Union Workhouse. The Union 'Workhouse • - a mile from the Public- Mr. Tristrain declined to ask this wituess any questions. In answer to Mr. SMITH, a Guardian, the witness said he knew from the rate-books, there was such a street as Back Bolton-street.

I told her that was a case for the relieving officer, and I would report it to him after I had seen her husband. T advised her to put him to bed, and give him the medicine I sent, and a little warm gruel afterwards. She then left me. When I visited Parkes the next day, I found him living in a small court in Back Bolton-street, Edge-hill; he was sitting by the fire,.apparently in a state of exhaustion. I advised him to go to bed and keep warm. I did not see a bed in that room, and I should say there was only one room on the ground floor. I.saw two or three chairs. I did not notice any other furniture. To Mr. PEERS. — Suppose the man had not had any food _ a tau Inn II,IiIK 1L WOUla nave been at all un favourable to his complaint. This man, in the early part, must have had inflammation, and he had been ill fourteen days before I saw him.

To the ASSISTANT-COMMISSIONER.—Parke! was 37 had taken cold there 14 days previously. The witness then described the personal appearance of the deceased. Did not recollect his wife making any observation in the house to the effect that she had no gruel, and no means of getting any. If she had, should at once have given her an order upon the relieving-officer to supply her, but cannot remember whether he gave her such an order or not. Parkes himself said nothing about food. The fire was a small one—in a grate made of bricks and bars. Nothing was said to lead him to suppose there was no bed in the house. Diseased lungs was the cause of death. T.,A. G. Dolling, registrar of births and deaths for the West Derby district, said he registered James Parkes death on Friday, the 18th December. He lived in Back nonan-street, Edge-hill. In. consequence of what took place in the overseers office, as described, witness went to Back Bolton-street, the same day, after registering the death. The witness described the shop in which deceased lived; Margaret Parkes, widow of the deceased man, said : I live now in High-street. My husband died on the 15th of December.

The house was well attended, and, we believe, would have been quite full but for a mistake generally entertained that the first concert would take place on Tuesday (this evening) in place of last night. The attendance was, notwithstanding, highly respectable, and, as regarded the music, enthusiastic. Mr. Holden presided at the piano, and, as usual, did justice and good service to the vocalists, though many of them, as well as the pieces they sang, were to him necessarily strange. In the first part, and also in the second, Mr. Sinclair evinced almost all, if not all, the powers that he displayed in earlier life as a singer.

The witness was evidently confused as to dates, and he explained that the payment of this . . rated in the first instance, but he He added that Mr. Peers put no could not walk, he might stop in the house—that there was the house for him. I told Dr. Greatrex they said he might go into the house. I sent the medical order down to Dr. Greatrex by my little boy at six o'clock. He sent word he could not come, as he had been his rounds, but that I must come down to him. I went at eight o'clock, and the doctor gave me two pills and told me to apply a mustard poultice. He did not give me mustard to make the poultice ; I found that myself. I did not say any thing then to the doctor about relief. I applied the mustard poultice. I bought the mustard, which cost a halfpenny. The doctor called at two o'clock thefollow ing day, and said he did not think he could do anything for my husband, as his hands and his ear,. -mss were going quite black, but if I would go to his house he would give me some pills for him. I told him then what distress we were in, and he said he would give me a n o t e to M r. Tris tram, iiMr. Tristram had not been. My husband would not let me leave him, and my little boy went for the pills. H e did not take any message stating that Mr. Tristram had not been, as I thought I would go myself the next morn-. ing. My husband took one of the pills at nine o'clock; and at eleven o'clock he died. Before he died he said it was a hard thing to die for want in a Christian country. I never saw the relieving officer at our house at all. I never saw him until the Friday after my husband's death, when I saw him here at the Workhouse. I asked Mr. Tristram for a coffin ; and he said, "Is that man dead?" I said, "Yes." He then said to another gentleman who was in the office, " I offered him the house ; and no doubt if he had stopped in the house he would have been a living man now." Mr. Tristram said, " I went out of the office, and when I came to look for your husband again, I could not find him, as he was gone." My husband did not tell me how long he waited at the house ; but he said he had to stop twenty or thirty times before he could get home. The first time I saw Mr. Peers was on the Friday night after my husband's death. I remember Mr. Peers calling at my house on the Monday morning following. He asked me if I wa , going before the board on the Tuesday; and I said "Yes He said he would do without my going, and would me 6s. a.week.

He said, I gave the medical order now produced to Mr. Peers on the Friday week afte r th e man's death. This order was signed by Mr. Tristram, and was to assist James Parkes, who died on Wednesday, the 16th Dec. To Mr. received the order about six o'clock on the evening of the 15th. I did not see Jas.
