THE FIREWORKS.—Mr. Nathan Knowles has thought proper to write to a contemporary, stating that we were in error last week in attributing the design of " the gor geous Eastern Temple of Fire, with transparency of the Queen receiving the homage of the Four Quarters of the Globe," to Mr. Atkins : our statement was correct—but we were then unaware of Mr. Nathan Knowles having also exhibited " a gorgeous Temple, &c.," as the concluding piece for his display at the south end of the town. ROYAt INSTITUTION Sexual,. —On Wednesday the election of Mr. W. J. Rees to the vacant Canning Scho larship in this school was announced to the committee by Mr. J.

Tn the classical part of the examination, Mr. Duckworth, Mr. Abram, and Mr. M'Cheane, stood next in order; in the mathematical, Mr. Preston, Mr. M'Cheane, and Mr. Abram. THE JUDGE OF IHE COUNTY COURT.—The Earl of Carlisle has forwarded a copy of the memorial lately pre sented to him to Mr. Ramshay, with a request that the latter will reply to the various points of complaint which 'it urges. We are informed that Mr. Stone, the high bailiff of the County Court, has got up a counter-memorial in behalf of Mr. Ramshay, and that it is being sent round to the members of the legal profession for their signature. We understand that Mr. J. K. Tyrer has been appointed solicitor to Mr. Ramshay vice Mr. J. B. Lloyd resigned. THE PORK BUTCHER AND THE QUEEN.—There was a matter of grave complaint against a member of the Man chester council (a pork butcher) who had been guilty of great indecorum in rushing up to the Countess of and shaking hands with her when the royal party were entering the Exchange, tinder the impression that it was the Queen he was thus warmly greeting. The event has caused no little private scandal at the expense of the cor porate body. It is said that the same councillor also caught hold of the Duke of Wellington's hand in the same way.—Manchester Correspondent of the Daily News. ANCHORS.—A memorial from all the leading ship owners of London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, has been addressed to the Admiralty, requesting that a public trial may be instituted of the relative merits of the various anchors shown in the Great Exhibition. The question being one that affects the safety of life and property, and the welfare of the Government service 'no less than the shipping interest generally, it is proposed that a committee of naval and scientific officers should be formed, and that a few well-known practical shipowners and engineers ,should be associated with them in the inquiry. PRKSCOT.—THE QUEEN'S VISIT.--,A meeting of the committee appointed to carry out the arrangements con sequent upon the Queen passing through Prescot was held at the Town-hall, on Monday evening, to receive the treasurer's accounts, and &c. The expenses exceeded the amount subscribed by a few pounds, which were made up before the meeting closed. The vicar was requested to present the thanks of the committee to the Earl of Derby, for so liberally granting the permission to the respectable inhabitants of the town to assemble in his park at the time the Queen passed through. It was also unanimously re solved that a vote of thanks be given to Mr. Superin tendent Allen, for the great energy and taqt displayed by him in bringing to a successful issue the various matters connected with the department under his control. THE SCREW STEAMER GENOVA.—The following highly complimentary letter has been addressed by the Secretary at:Lloyd's to Capt. Cumming. commander of the Genova, one of Messrs. M'Kean, M'Larty, and Co.'s Mediter ranean screw-steamers :—" Lloyd's, 7th October, 1851. Sir,—The attention of the committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, having been called to your conduct on the 27th ult., on your homeward voyage from Marseilles and Gibraltar, with a valuable cargo, when, having taken 10Liverpool pilot on board, off Cape Lynes, and dis covered that he was ignorant of the ship's position, you, by your prompt and skilful measures, were the means of preventing the vessel from being stranded, I am directed to express to you the high sense entertained by the com mittee of your decisive and praiseworthy conduct on the occasion in question.—l am, sir, your ob'dient servant, (signed,) GEORGE A. HALSTED, secretary. To Mr. Hugh Rossiter Cumming, commanding the screw-steamer Genova." WATER FOR ORMSKIRK.—Mr. R. Rawlinson, of the General Board of Health, has suggested a plan of sewerage and supply of water for Ormskirk. Water is to flow per petually through the sewers. The supply of water is to be obtained from neighbouring springs, whose waters have already been submitted to a skilful analyst, and been pro uounced of surpassing excellence. 'Lord Derby, the pro prietor, has offered the land in which they take their rise on the most liberal terms, as well as -a site for a reservoir above the elevation of the town, which will ensure a con stant supply under pressure of every house, available not only for the daily necessities of the inhabitants, but also for the disasters of fire, to meet which no sufficient pro vision is at present made. The expense of the projected work is estimated at £B,OOO, distributed as follows : Sewer age £3,500 ; water supply, £4;500. The board, before - separating, sanctioned an application to the general board for the necessary powers to take up the amount of loan, to be repaid in thirty years. HOLT V. FENTUM.—THE ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.-- 'This was an action (tried on Wednesday at the Westmin ster County Court) brought by the plaintiff, a solicitor, residing at Liverpool, against the defendant, a music-seller and dealer in opera-tickets, in the Strand, to recover the sum of £3 18s. Od., under the following peculiar cir cumstances :—The plaintiff stated that on the 22nd of `July last, he applied at Mr. Fentues, in the Strand, for -nine pit tickets for the Royal Italian Opera, Covent garden. The admissions were paid for, and his company took the precaution to be in the theatre in pretty good time. Upon their arriving the pit was quite full, so that it was difficult to obtain even standing-room. The soli citor having paid for the tickets with the understanding that he would have proper accommodation, at once applied to the box-keeper for a return of his money. The check-taker informed him that the money would be returned had the tickets been purchased there, and in fact, money was being returned to persons who had so procured the admissions. He subsequently applied -to Mr. .Fentum, who refused to return the money. On Wednesday he brought the matter before the West minster County Court, when he recovered the sum paid for the tickets and costs from Mr. Fentum. BANKRUPTCY COURT.—On Thursday, in the case of John Lille) , and Co., African merchants, bankrupts, and which was adjourned from the previous day, the bank rupts were allowed to pass their last examination, after a protracted inquiry into the state of their affairs. The certificate meeting is fixed for the 14th of November. The joint liabilities of the firm are upwards of £lOO,OOO, whilst the separate liabilities amount to £79,000. Re Irlam and Wanostrocht.—The bankrupts, who were brokers and shipowners carrying on business in this town to some extent, came up on Thursday. Mr. Forshaw, solicitor to the bankrupts, applied for a first class certificate. Referring to the good reputation of his clients in the commercial world, he stated that their busi ness produced a yearly profit of £3,000 until the disas trous year of 1846, when, by the stoppage of the Royal Bank and some other difficulties, they became embar rassed. As a proof of the honour of his clients, he wished to remark that their domestic expenses would be found to have been reduced even in a greater proportion than the reduction of the profits.—Certificate granted first class, Re Thomas Richardson.—The bankrupt, who is a cutler, carrying on business in Church-street, in this town, came up for his last examination. On the applica tion of Mr. Francis, of the firm of Francis and Almond, a first-class certificate was at once granted. Re Hailstone. —The bankrupt, Thomas Hailstone, a grocer and draper, at Weelock, in Cheshire, passed his last examination. Re Thomas Harris.—The creditors of Thomas Harris, recently a publican and shipowner, and formerly an auctioneer in Church-street, met on Friday to choose assignees. The liabilities amount to about £9,000. Two assignees were chosen—Mr. Solomon, wine mer chant, and Mr. Cowie, a shipping broker. THE BRAZILIAN QUESTION.—Mr. BralTiley-Moore, chairman of the Brazilian Association, and Mr. Edward Artley had an interview of upwards of an hour, on Friday evening, with Lord Palmerston, at the Foreign-office, on the subject of the British cruizers on the coast of Brazil. His lordship was most courteous, patient, and communi cative, and entered into the subject most fully and frankly. As a specimen of some of the cases laid before his lordship, we may cite the case of the Amalie, bound from Rio de Janeiro to Santa Cruz, in the province of Espirito Santo; the alleged ground and justification for the capture being, that there was no such place designated on the maps, and the answer to which was, that Santa Cruz was a new name given to it on its being recently ele vated into a city, and the old name of Aldea Velha thereby sunk into oblivion. A very strong case was also shown in the case of a vessel with German emigrants, on its way to Rio Grande, and the consequence of the capture was, the emigrants, by the last accounts, were begging in Rio de Janeiro. Other cases of hardship were adduced, and it was warmly urged that measures, at all events, should be devised for affording prompt justice to the parties, instead of sending the captured vessels to St. Helena, for ad judication, where acquittal is ruin to the parties in terested. The deputation were much gratified by their reception. The memorial to Lord Palmerston states that the amicable arrangement between Brazil and this country is at present greatly endangered by the recent proceedings of commanders of British cruizers on the coast of Brazil, who it is alleged, indiscreetly zealous in the interpretation of their instructions for the suppres sion of the slave trade. and apparently regardless of the expressed determination of the Brazilian Government in that respect, have seized and confiscated several Brazilian vessels and their cargoes, engaged in legitimate commerce, and, under such circumstances. affording no just cause for suspecting them to be in any measure connected with the slave trade. That such proceedings have alike exasperated the Legislature and the whole people of Brazil, and to such an extent that, according to the last advices, measures were actually contemplated by that Government for obtain ing for their coasting trade the protection of some powerful maritime nationo—Albion, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1851. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. On Tuesday evening the Philharmonic Society gave an extra choral performance, consisting of motets, chorales, anthems, and chorusses from the works of the great composers, S. Bach, Handel, Mozart, &c. The attendance was very meagre, arising in some degree from the generally heavy and tasteless charac ter of the selection. Some of the pieces were unac companied, the others being accompanied on the organ by Mr. Hirst, while Mr. Sudlow conducted. " God, my King," by Bach, was fairly sung by the Chorus, who paid considerable attention to the crescendos and diminu endos, though they still require drilling in this respect. Farrant's anthem, ' Lord, for Thy tender mercy's sake," was well sung. It is simple, pretty, and devotional. A Romanesca, sung by Miss Stott, solo and chorus. did not take our fancy. It was quite unfitted for the chorus, and, being unaccompanied, the voices fell very much, and be came perceptibly fiat, while Miss Stott's solo was badly snng. • The recitative and chorus from Rossini's " Stabet Mater" went admirably so far as the chorus was con cerned, but Mr. Armstrong did not perform his recitative with his usual excellence, being wanting in the requisite feeling. Besides this, he failed in striking one of the notes with anything like precision. The piece, however, was most deservedly encored. Mozart's beautiful psalm, " Our Soul in God," was well sung, and the first part con cluded with Bach's motet, " I wrestle and pray," which was not liked, though the chorus did its best. The first portion was taken far too slow : besides this, the piece is very uninteresting, the latter part being a chorale in which the composer has exercised his powers of modulation, but without relieving it by a particle of beauty. The second part commenced with the " Hailstone Chorus," which in. spirited the orchestra, and it was well sung, although the conductor was very faulty in his time, and by his irregu larity nearly caused some mischief. On being deservedly encored, however, this was remedied. The next piece of note was Handel's duet from Judas Maccabceus, " Oh ! lovely peace," sung by Miss Stott and Miss Parsons. There is nothing remarkable in the piece, except a few shakes at the end, neatly done, and an encore was called, for. " Alla Trinita," a quartett and chorus—a beautiful and eccentric piece of music—was spoiled as a quartett by two much sliding from note to note. Notwithstanding this drawback, the intrinsic beauty of the music induced an encore. " The Horse and his Rider" concluded the entertainment. and was admirably sung by the chorus. The recitative, " I will sing unto the Lord," was under taken byMiss Stott, who was unequal to it, her voice being dreadfully strained to reach the high notes. This may possibly have arisen from a cold under which she appeared to be suffering. The accompaniments on the organ by Mr. Hirst during the evening were most tasteful and ad mirable, and the two very difficult pieces by Bach and Handel, which he played at the commencement of the parts, showed a thorough command over the organ, and convinced the audience that the society had lost nothing by the retirement of his predecessor. We may state, in conclusion, that the performance on Tuesday evening last was one of the dullest and heaviest that we ever heard in the Philharmonic Hall. The selection was poor and un interesting—the singers were evidently dispirited during the greater part of the performance—and the conductor was evidently in a bad humour with the chorus, as was proved by his unnecessarily frequent and harsh " hush's." It appears that the conductor (Mr. Sudlow) and the gen tlemen of the orchestra had some misunderstanding on the previous evening ; and that the performance would probably have been postponed but for the interference of some peacemakers. Now, we do not enter into the merits of the dispute, but merely remark that when a conductor and his orchestra disagree, it is time that one or other should be removed. If the conductor is to blame he ought to retire ; if the amateur members of the orchestra are in fault, then the body ought to be dissolved. It is quite impossible that any good can result from keeping the two in antagonism, as Mr. Sudlow and the chorus have now been for some time; and it is a matter to which the com mittee's attention should be at once directed. While on this subject we may also mention the great inconvenience of having two conductors in this society. Mr. Hermann generally conducts at the concerts, and Mr. Sudlow trains the chorus at the rehearsals. These gentlemen have dif ferent opinions on various musical matters—the one rehearses music in a particular way, and when the chorus come to perform with the other, a great deal has to be undone, and there is a consequent great waste of time and temper. This also requires remedy. Another source of dissatisfaction in connection with these concerts arises from the fact that the favours of the society are unfairly distributed among our local artistes, for it is a singular fact that the ladies who appeared on Tuesday are the only local singers who have for a long time past—indeed since the hall opened we believe—appeared at these perform ances, and their singing does not satisfy the mind that it is of such a high degree of excellence as to exclude all others. On Wednesday and Friday next the members of the madrigal union (Lockey, Miss Williams, &c.) appear at this hall, and we expect a great treat. RAILWAY BETWEEN GARSTANG AND LIVERPOOL.— We perceive that the Garston Dock Railway Company are surveying the ground between Garston and Liverpool, with the intention, we presume, of applying to Parliament next session for powers to enable them to construct a line of railway between the two points. The terminus, it is expected, will be near the Custom-house. It is scarcely necessary for us to point out to the residents of Garston, Aigburth, and Toxteth-park the advantages of such a rapid communication. The company are also making some excellent roads in the neighbourhood of Garston and Aigburth.—Al ion. ACCIDENT AT Sr. GEORGE'S HALL.—®n Monday morning a serious accident occurred to Mr. Wm. Hawley, second clerk of the works. Mr. Hawley was in the act of leaving one of the corridors, by the north-west door, for the purpose of entering the great hall. On his passage through he had to pass over an unfinished part of the flooring over which a plank had been placed. In crossing over this plank he accidentally slipped, and was precipitated into the cellaring beneath, a depth of twenty-seven feet. Mr. Hawley was immediately conveyed to the Infirmary, where it was ascertained that he had received some severe contusions on the head ; his shoulder was also much hurt, and he complained of a pain in the right side. We regret to add that Mr. Hawley died on Friday morning. SUICIDE FROM POVERTY.—On Wednesday Joseph Key, aged fifty-two years, was found hanging to a hook in the back cellar of his own house in High Park-street. The deceased had formerly been a shipbuilder, but, owing to an accident he had met with three years ago, was disqua lified from following his employment, and, consequently, he and his family were reduced in circumstances. On the day of his death he and his wife set out with the intention of visiting Mr. Tomkins, the relieving-officer, but he was obliged to return in consequence of weakness. He then told his wife to sell their feather-bed and bedstead, after which she left the house, and the deceased was not again seen alive. He was found hanging by one of his children. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." POSTAL COMNUNICATION . BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND DUBLIN.—It is said that remonstrances are being made to the London and North-Western Railway Company, relative to the recent alterations in the postal arrange ments between these two places. The Liverpool route for passengers is now placed at a very unfair disadvan tage, as far as London and the south of England are concerned, inasmuch as a passenger who leaves Kings ton for Liverpool at six o'clock in the evening cannot arrive in London before four o'clock the following after noon, whereas a passenger leaving Kingst own b y t h e boat for Holyhead at half-past seven in the evening is in London the following morning at eleven o'clock, thereby giving him a clear advantage of six hours and a half over the passenger who prefers to travel by Liverpool. CURIOUS MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENT.—The fol lowing is a copy of an advertisement in last Wednesday's Manchester Guardian, leaving out the initials of the advertiser :—" To her who would be wooed and won.— Madam,—l am an Irish old bachelor, aged 47. Ido not think myself good-looking, though called so by some. Some of my English relations, of high respectability, hold extensive estates, which their ancestors possessed previous to the conquest. I have been educated in the Dublin University for a physician and surgeon. My income, independent of my profession, is so very small, that I cannot offer it privately to any lady as a settlement. I therefore place myself at the disposal of any lady who will accept the entire devotion of the heart and hand of, madam, your obedient servant, —, Postoffice, Manchester." A LADY LECTURER.—On Wednesday evening, Mrs. Catherine Winter gave an entertainment, in the form of a lecture, at the Music-hall. She stated that she Oi l pleaded her own cause in three different Irish cou r t s ; the professed object of her lecture was to give lesso n o ladies " how to be called to the bar." She is particularly - anxious to have the chancellorships equally divided between the sexes, from the belief, that if the courts were, partially at least, under the administration of the petticoat, the female chancellors would look at the social, leaving to the males the legal aspect of the cases examined, and that thus more even justice would be meted out. Mrs. Winter announced her intention, if she could find a free and inde pendent borough, to enter parliament, as she thought women were much wanted there. Notwithstanding the apparent attractiveness of the subject, there was a very small audience. LECTURE ON ELOOMERISM.-Mrs. Dexter, who has been lecturing in London and Glasgow on Bloomerism, delivered a lecture on Friday evening on female dress, in the Concert Hall, Lord Nelson-street. The place was crowded to excess—principally by young men. Mrs. Dexter is a little woman, with a very small voice, and appeared in a very ',ugly dress, not a loose t un i c , as had been generally represented, but an ordinary full-bodied frock, reaching below the knees, and made of scarlet and purple plaid, over which a plaid satin scarf crossed the shoulder, in the same style as a Highland dress. The " convenient garment" respecting the assumption of which by the fair sex so many jests and so much virtuous energy have been elicited, was composed of some species of white material. The "continuations" were gathered In around the ankles, and light-coloured boots completed the costume. ' Mrs. Dexter's Bloomerism, however, wanted everything that could make it attractive ; and not one half of the persons present could hear what she said. She read the lecture from & written paper, and parts of it were received with applause ; for in all ages and in all countries female fashions have been a subject of satire and condemnation ; but fashion, • notwith standing, has beaten satirists, philosophers, states men, lawyers, and divines. Whatever is, is right, in fashion—for fashions are invented., .arearding to the French proverb, by fools for wise people to. wear. The lecturess concluded by some short remarks re l a ti ve to ladies' head-dresses, which, alth9ugh, she said, not strictly pertinent to the subject, might not be unaccept able, and retired amidst loud applause.

Bowes in the chair. After prayer, the chairman called upon Mr. A. Boardman, who read a most interesting paper on Pneumatics, illustrating the subject with diagrams. The next paper will be read by Mr. J. L. Murphy, on " The present position and future prospects of the Church Schoolmaster." ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCILEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. — The second meeting of the present session of this society was held on Wednesday evening last, at the Royal Insti tution. The president, Mr. J. A. Picton, F.S.A. in the chair. Mr. Samuel Huggins read a paper on " Fine Art Criticism ; with especial reference to the works of Ruskin." An animated discussion took place on the various points embraced by the paper, in which Messrs. Boult, Frank Howard, Barber, and the president took part. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The usual weekly meet ing of this board was held on Wednesday, at the Workhouse —Mr. Roskell in the chair. The other guardians present were Messrs. Harrison, Tattersall, Brown, Carter, Bunt ing, Lunt, Alpass, Siddeley, Craig, Miller, Shaw, John Birch, Jeffries, Mountfield, and J. Jones. The balance in the hands of the treasurer was reported to be £895 10s., and cheques for the subjoined amounts were ordered to be given to the relieving officers—Allen, £75; Staint, £3O; Potts, £100; and Shearson, £2O. The Rev. W. Badnall was appointed a deputation on behalf of the board to at tend the meeting of the County Rates and Expenditure Bill Committee; and Miss M. J. Evans, the matron, hav ing requested permission to withdraw her resignation, Mr. Tattersall gave notice that at the next meeting he should move that she be reappointed. The rest of the business possessed no public interest. ADDRESS TO KOSSUTH.—On Saturday a preliminary meeting was held at the office of the Financial Reform Association, York-buildings, to discuss the question of an address to Kossuth, on his arrival in this country. There were present Messrs. Charles Hclland, F. Boult, Black burn, J. Taylor, Holt, R. C. Rawlins, jun., Ronald, Stewart, Mott, and Dr. Baylis, Of Birkenhead, Bcc. Mr. Robertson Gladstone, who was unable to attend the meeting, has since expressed his concurrence with the object in view. Mr. R. C. Rawlins, who it was under stood had been mainly instrumental in calling the meet ing together, was unanimously called to the chair. After some discussion, it was agreed that Messrs. Blackburn, Holt, R. C. Rawlins, jun., Taylor, Holland, I3oult, and Ronald should be a committee to prepare •an address, which will be submitted to a future meeting, when the best mode of submitting it to the public will be deter mined on. CHURCH OF ENGLAND INSTITUTION.—On Thursday evening a meeting of the members of this institution was held at the society's rooms, Bold.street, to present a testimonial to the Rev. Henry Moore Mosse, 8.A., secre tary, who is about leaving Liverpool for a short period, on account of ill health. The chair was taken by the Rev. W. Pollock, M.A., and the meeting having been opened with prayer, the chairman reviewed briefly the history of the society, pointed out its early difficulties, and showed that Mr. Mosse had undertaken its manage ment at a time when its friends had despaired of success. That, notwithstanding the odium then attached to it, their lion. secretary, by unremitting exertion, had raised it to its present brilliant position. In presenting Mr. Mosse with the elegant timepiece, manufactured by Mr. Hausburg, which was accompanied with a purse of sove reigns, the chairman said that it afforded him the greatest pleasure that he had been invited to discharge so pleasing a duty ; and he wished Mr. Mosse to accept them rather as a proof of the kind feeling which the members entertained towards him than as an adequate discharge of their duty. Mr. Mosse, in an appropriate speech, thanked the members for their valuable present, and said that the kind manner in which the chairman bad spoken of him, and the cordial manner in which the meeting had expressed their concur rence, greatly enhanced what was in itself ti uly valuable. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the benediction was pronounced, and the meeting separated. SELECT VESTRY.—The usual rortnightly meeting of the Vestry was held on Tuesday. The Rev. Rector Camp bell presided • and the members present were Mess r s. Banner, Willmer, Carne, Wiggins, Fairhurst, Kitchen, Hughes, Blain, Gardner, Mellor, Pemberton, Denton, Luff, Whitby, Shakeshaft. Ireland, and Savage. The Venerable Archdeacon Brooks was also in attendance.— The vexata questioof thegovernor of the workhouse formed the chief topic of discussion. The chairman stated the result of an interview which he and the remainder of the deputation had with the Poor-law Board in relation to the matter. The board had intimated that the Vestry were competent to dismiss the governor, if he were inefficient, from whatever cause that inefficiency arose; and what he ( the chairman) recommended was, that they should ap point an assistant-governor to act as storekeeper, to keep the key of the stores, and to deliver nothing from them without a cheque from the governor ; that he should give access to the governor whenever required, and keep a book, directing the governor's attention to all matters neces sary; that book to be laid before the Workhouse Commit tee. The Vestry would then be able to consider what steps should be taken as to the present unfortunate state of the house- He wished to cast no reflection on Mr. Evans, or to say anything which would injure him, or wound his feelings, but he thought they must all be of opinion, from what had occurred, that he was utterly in competent to havetbe management of such a vast concern as the Liverpool Workhouse. ( Hear, hear.) Some con versation arose as to the desirability of appointing Mr. Heathcote to the assistant-office, his duties as book-keeper being sufficiently engrossing. Mr. Widmer remarked that the governor had expressed his intention to resign at the end of thrEe months, and was it worth while to make any • alteration for this time. The chairman said if they had any assurance that the governor would resign in three months, their duty would be clear. Still he thought that they should appoint an assistant-governor, though he did not say whom. If Mr. Heathcote, somebody should be appointed to take part of his present specific duties. P did not think there would be any difficulty in that. Mr. Willmer said they were assuming a great deal. Let the board have before them what the irrevulf.,..4:-- - house were. They had heard a deal about disorganisation, but they had no proof that such existed. The chairman observed that the workhouse committee had reported al ready on the subject ; and Mr. Savage that the irregulari ties were obvious to any one who went into the house. After some more discussion the report of the Workhouse Committee alluded to was read, and Mr. Hughes pro posed, according to previous notice, that Mr. W. Heath cote should be appointed assistant-governor. Mr. Luff seconded the motion, it being understood that the appoint ment was only for three months, and it was carried. The miscellaneous business was devoid of interest. Dom COMMITTEE.—The usual weekly meeting of this body was held on Thursday. Mr. Charles Turner, the chairman, presided ; and the other members present were Messrs. Shand, Molyneux, Robinson, Brocklebank, Holme, Barber, Bigham, Langsdale, Bold, Tobin, Steele, Rankin, and Nicol.—The tender of Messrs. Meers and Co., of London, to supply brass for the bells about to be placed at the various docks, was accepted, the price being ls. 2d. per foot.—The men belonging to the Formby, Ma gazine, and Liverpool Lifeboats had an additional day's pay awarded to them for their promptness and bravery in going to the rescue of the American barque Cazone.— Votes of thanks were passed to the committee which had charge of the preparations for the Queen's visit, and to the officials of the body, Messrs. Hartley, Mr. Mason, and others who took so active a part in practically carrying out the arrangements.—A communication was read from Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., complaining of the high charges for the use of scales and weights in respect to steamers to foreign ports, and recommending an alteration to be made in favour of such steamers. The communi cation was referred to one of the sub-committees.—A return is to be made by the Dock Committee of the amount of money expended in preparations for the recent reception of her Majesty. A similar return is to be made by the Corporation.—A letter was read from Mr. John Stewart, whose charges for surveying, &c., had formed the subject at the last meeting. Mr. Stewart had understood the remarks of Mr. Bigham to be condemnatory of his charges as unreasonable ; he was quite willing, however, to submit them to any.gentleman accustomed to business of that description whom the Dock Committee might name. Mr. Bigham observed that he did not mean to cast the slightest imputation upon Mr. Stewart ; he rather found fault with the committee ; he did not say Mr. Stewart's demand was unreasonable, he merely called attention to the' fact that they were paying £l,OOO a-year for valuing property. Mr. James Holme and Mr. Nichol spoke highly in praise of Mr. Stewart, and, after some further opinions had been expressed, the secretary was directed to write to Mr. Stewart to inform him that the committee entirely appreciated the value of his services.— The recommendation of the Committee of Works to continue the system of tenders for work, instead of adver tising in the newspapers for contracts, caused some dis cussion. Mr. Shand, who advocated the retention of the system earnestly, said that they thus elicited offers from most respectable tradesmen, while they avoided the incon venience of getting tenders from those who were incom petent. Mr. Bighorn was strongly in favour of public advertisements. It gave the gentlemen on the committees additional trouble, certainly ; but, for the good of the Dock Estate, all tradesmen were entitled to a fair share of the work by competition. He moved, therefore, as an amendment, on the recommendation of the sub-committee, that the Dock Committee adopt as a principle advisable to be acted upon in all cases, unless otherwise determined by the Dock Committee, of offering all work to be done for the Dock Estate, involving a certain outlay, to public com petition by advertisements in the newspapers. Mr. Langsdale seconded the amendment. After some further discussion, however, Mr. Bigham withdrew his amend-, ment on the understanding that, in all important cases, the sub-committees should advertise, and have a discre tionary power either to advertise or to obtain tenders, as at present, in other cases. HEALTH COMMITTEE. — The medical officer reported, at the meeting on _Thursday, that during the week 209 deaths haTocc — urred, being 38 fewer than in the previous week, and 25 more than in the corresponding week of the three preceding years. Zymotic diseases had caused 35 deaths, 5 less than in the previous week. 137 deaths had occurred in the parish, and 72 in the extra parochial wards. There was no increase in diseases of the lungs.— The Baths' Committee announced that Edward JrO" money-taker at the George's Baths had been dis missed for drunkenness. A memorial was presented praying for his restoration. A discussion followed upon the subject, and eventually the matter was referred back to the committee for consideration.—Mr. Rishton, the building-surveyor, Mr. Newlands, the borough-engineer, and-Mr. Fresh, the inspector of nuisances, severally read their reports.—The application of Mr. C. F. Jones for leave to construct a cellar opening to his premises in Lon don-road, was refueed.—The tender of Mr. Tomkinson to contract for the proposed sewer in Back Huskisson-street, was accepted.—Tenders were directed to be obtained for the proposed sewer in Norfolk-street.—The application of Mr. Thomas Mackey to erect a portico in the front of Mr. Hughes's house, in Kirkdale, was refused.—The clerk submitted a report relative to the disputed encroachment on Salisbury -street. He reported that the block of land in question was 36 yards in depth, and Salisbury-street was 18 yards wide. He found, by taking the actual measurement of street, that the wall of the school pro jected four feet eight inches into that portion of the road which should be a street. After a brief discussion, the matter was referred to the Town-clerk to see Mr. J. B. Lloyd, the trustee of the property, upon the subject.—A report was read from the Parliamentary Sub-committee relative to the assessing of property for the cost of the outlet sewers. The committee had seen the represen- tatives of the landholders upon this subject, and they recommended that the usual Parliamentary notices should be given of their intention to apply for an amended Sanatory Act, and that the Town-clerk be instructed to take counsel's opinion as to the arrangements proposed for assessing the cost of the outlet sewers. After some discussion, the matter dropped, it being understood the notices were to be given. —A communication, read from. Mr. Arthur Henderson, calling attention to the very bad state of Sleeper's-hill, was referred to the borough engineer. —A letter, read from the Rev. W.

A recommendation to purchase a piece of land at Everton, containing 4,358 square yards, at the price of £1,089 10s. for the purpose of a salt water reservoir.-2. A recommendation that the provisions of " the Common Lodging-house Act, 1851," he carried out under the superintendence of the Health Committee; and that Dr. Duncan, the Medical Officer of Health, be ap pointed to inspect all houses which may be proposed for registration_ under the act.-3.

Mr. PARKER moved the confirmation of the proposed purchase of land for salt-water baths, which was carried Mr. PARKER then moved the confirmation of the recommendation, which was also carried. Tf- ..rr. THOMSON moved, in reference to the third recom mendation, that that portion relative to the separation of the sexes be not applied to emigrant lodging-houses.

C. Wray, incumbent of St. Martin's Church' pre ferred a charge against Robert Shanning, driver of cab 445, for overcharge. On the previous Thursday the com plainant got into the cab in Giant Crosshall-street. and —On Wi dnesda requested the defendant to drive him to his reidence in Netherfield-road South, the legal fare for which is ls. 6d. The defendant, however, insisted on receiving 55., on the ground that the streets were crowded in consequence of her Majesty's visit. The magistrate said Ile was glad the information had been laid, as it was a most improper at tempt at extortion, and ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 20s. and costs. John WlCenna, driver of cab was also fined 20s. and costs, for making a charg from the Collingwood Dock to Renshaw-street, the pro per fare being only 2s. 6d. CLAIMS FOR SEAMEN'S WAGES.—OR Tnhn Sangster, mate of the steamer Grecian, g e of 5 , inesday, be tween Smyrna, Constantinople, and Liverpool, claimed the sum of £l9 from Mr. Dixon, agent and part owner of the vessel. It appeared that on a previous voyage a bale of wool, valued at £l9, was supposed to have been misse3 from the cargo, and as there was no certainty about the matter, the mate's wages were paid ; but, according to the evidence of Mr. Dixon, on the understanding that the value of the bale should be stopped, if it were found that the cargo was deficient. On the prosecutor's return from another voyage, he was informed that the bale of wool was lost, and the value of it was deducted from his wages.' The complainant contended that he was not liable, inas much as the defendant, when the cargo was unloading, told him to attend to the vessel, and to leave the cargo; besides it was argued, that no deduction could be made from his wages for a loss sustained during a former voyage. A verdict was given for the complainant, without costs. — On Thursday, a seaman on board the vessel Ricardo, from Malta, but under the British flag, summoned Capt. Aizzupardi, the master of the vessel, under the following circumstances :—Mr. Owen, solicitor, stated th at besides the present complainant *here were two others. They shipped at Malta, at 91 dollers per month, and on arriving here they were told that, unless they would accept 7 dols. a month, they should have neither work nor food. This threat had been now fulfilled for a week, and the young men then appeared before the court for redress. After some explanation by the captain, he expressed his willing nees to pay the amounts claimed, subject to certain sums had on account. DESTITUTION-.—On Thursday, nine men (one of whom was a coloured man, and another a Portuguese) were brought up for sleeping in some brick-kilns in Rake-lane, and destroying a quantity of timber, the property of Mr. Roberts, brick-maker. The prosecutor stated that he was sorry to bring the prisoners into court, as he pitied their unfortunate and miserable condition ; but his property was being destroyed. Besides, he had known persons to be suffocated by sleeping in the kilns. He then gave a description of the huts which the prisoners made to shelter themselves from the inclemency of the weather, which was placing the boards against the hot bricks. Three of the prisoners were booked for Ireland ; the others were cautioned and discharged. CAUTION TO SEAMEN.—SIX of the seamen of the barque Thomas and James, arrived at this port from Pictou, were nlanori in the rinrlr n n : --- eaving the p141.X1.1 111 1.116 L-1t...1t V.I. --- - ship against the wish of the captain and before the vessel was in a safe place or docked. The ship arrived on Satur day, and anchored off New Brighton. While the captain was on the point of leaving the ship in a steamer, one of the seamen stated that according to the terms of the agree ment they were now at liberty to leave the ship, and that they intended to do so. The captain urged them to stay until his return or until the ship w!tsin!% place of safety, and then left. After the captain left, the men also le - fi in defiance of the mate, and riggers had to be board to take the ship into dock.
