ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Although the weather last week was most unfavourable, thousands congregated to this beautiful retreat, on each of the evenings that the numerous attractions were presented. The proprietor has been happy in selecting a very tdlented company from the metropolis, who have appeared in several vaudevilles and other light pieces on the stage of the concert-hall. The performances of the whole company were warmly applauded. Miss Harcourt is a - first-rate artiste, and goes through the whole of the parts assigned to her spi ritedly and naturally. Mr. Mulford and Mr. Wheatleigh personate their characters admirably, and are most judi cious and finished actors. The singing of Miss Harcourt was warmly applauded. Mr. Ryan is an excellent come dian. This week it will be seen that several new pieces will be brought out. Tuesday is now a permanent gala night. The gardens are in splendid order. CRICKET MATCH.—On Saturday afternoon, a match was played between the Stanley and Birkenhead Victoria Cricket Clubs, on the ground of the former, near the Cattle market, Old Swan. The stumps were drawn at a quarter-past eight, and the match decided on the first innings in favour of the Victoria, by a majority of 15 runs.

Being- the largest vessel ever built on the Clyde ahe at tracted a great number of-spectators, who lined each side of the river, anxious to witness the interesting ceremony. About two o'clock, the tide being then at its height,:pre patations were made for seeding her off the stocks. The ricer being dear, and all the arrangements complete, the Ri174151) tuna nitre, sheglided majestically into the ° water, amid the firing of cannon, and the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled mul titude. When she was moving off, Miss Henderson, second daughter of George Henderson, Esq., stepped•for ward, and gracefully dashing the bottle over her bows, named her the " City of Manchester." We have seldom seen a vessel sit so beautifully on the water—hes extraor dinary size and beauty of mould giving her an extremely graceful and imposing appearance. She is the property. of the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company, and is intended as a consort to the City of Glasgow, in the Liverpool and Philadelphia trade, and in conjunction with the now American screw steam-ships, City of Pittsburg, and City of Philadelphia, between Liverpool and Phila delphia. She has been built wish a view to speed, extra accommodation and comfort to • passengers, her internal fittings :having been finished in a style equal to anv - of those princely vessels that now .cross the Atlantic. She is fitted up to carry 160 passengers in the first and second cabins far whose comfort and acceinmodation no ex has been spared. The folio _wing is a note of her dimen sions __„th of deck, 274 feet; breadth of beam, 37 feet 9 inches ; length from spanker-bOom to jib-boom end, 339 feet; burthen, 2,125 tons. She is to be propelled by a three-bladed screw, which will be•driven by two beam engines of 4400 horse power. Silelas four masts, which will enable her to show a large surface of canvass, and make her easier managed in stormy weather. She is, altogether, one of the finest vessels we have seen, and will, no doubt, add greatly to the already ,world-wide fame of our Clyde ship-builders. When she:visits the shores of the New World Jonathan may "calculate" that she excels in mode', build, and finish any that has ever been sent from the stocks of the "consarned fine builders" of the " smartest nation in the world." She will undoubtedly fully maintain , that high character which her eminent builders have akeady gained, and yield a iandsome return to her enterprising - proprietors She is ,e • , ready for sea in three-weeks, her en gines, boilers, it e.,:being all ready for fitting in.

MATRIMONY MADA tASY.-Truly these are the 'lays of enlightenment 'and civilization, and we have continually afforded to us . fresh proofs that the cause of progress is " goingta•head" most gloriously. It has lately received an extraordinary lift in America, where the fair portion of creation—" the ladies"—have not only asserted their right, but proved, by ocular demonstration. their eligi bility to don the habiliments of the rougher sex. But even brother Jonathan is outdone by ourselves, .for we doubt whether the citizens of the " model republic" enjoy such privileges as we who live in " happy England," where we have an' announcement in the advertising columns of one.of our Saturday's contemporaries of a Matrimonial Alliance Association (!)

Rector CAMPBELL presiding. The proceedings of the Finance Committee showed that a bill of e 747 bad been presented for magistrates' clerks' fees, for removals to Ireland. Amongst the entries was " a wooden leg for the workhouse, 1 45." It was agreed to pay a bill, amounting to ..;e2B 35., to Mr. Roskell, for winding up the workhouse clocks for a series of years, provided that the same were:allowed by the auditor. A petition from the collectors of rates, in reference to tbeir collection of the voluntary rate, had been received, and its consideration postponed. Mr. Harmood Banner, jun., had been aprointed chairman of the committee. The proceedings were confirmed. The number of inmates in the workhouse on the 4th instant was reported to be 1927 against 1640 on the corresponding date of last year. There were 636 sick cases, 101 being of fever, and 73 of itch. The admissions to the vagrant sheds during the week had been 559 males, 224 females, and 79 children. Mr. WooDauvF, in reference to the proposed reduction of the medical staff of the workhouse, hoped that the gentlemm who had come to that - cohclusion bad considered. that, a short time sit a report was submitted from a special committee, showing that a resident house-surgeon was necessary. He should like to know what salary would be given to the assist ant, before the Vestry were called upon to confirm the princi ple. (A Voice: " .e50.") They might shortly have 3,000 per sons in the workhouse, and he thought that the responsibility would be too great for an assistant at such a salary. He should move. without meaning any discourtesy to the committee, that the matter be postponed till the next meeting.—A stormy discussion ensued, which was terminated by the rejection of Mr. Woodruff's amendment, -only four holding up their hands it, its favour. The medical officers of the workhouse. through the Medical Relief Committee, reported that there were wards in the new buildings appropriate for surgical cases. The committee re commended that the grant of 203 guineas annually to the Northern Hospital should be reduced to 100 guineas. The reduction of the grant was postponed, and the other minutes contirtned. The committee which was appointed to examine the return made by the superintendent of the vagrant sheds, and to take into consideration their present state and management, re ported—" That 717 individuals have been sheltered during the fortnight ending 12th May, and during such period 37 females anti 65 males 'have b een admitted oftener than the regulation prescribed (three times). Thus your committee find great numbers are admitted much beyond the regulations; that amongst the aggregate num b er are many w h o s h oul d be taken into the house, or otherwise have the test. These sheds are also used as receptacles by prostitutes, who are waiting to be received into the Lock ; and as the Lock will not accommodate more than 65, there are generally 15 or 20 waiting for admis sion. That, under such circumstances, your committee have communicated with Dr. Burgess and Mr. Taylor upon the de sirability of some alteration for a more speedy reception for this class of patients. Your committee, however, find tit:A, under the present house arrangement, it cannot be done; but they would suggest (having the approval of the medical men) the transposing of the present Lock into medical wards, and the appropriation of the present medical wards into a Lock, by which a.complete sep ara ti on , so exceed i ngly desirable with this class of patients, from the other paupers, would be effected, as well as the adJitional accommodation given; for, by the building of the wall ten yards by three, the proposed Lock would he completely isolated from the house department. Your committee would further suggest the appointment of a separate committee to superintend the vagrant sheds, for the purpose of having greater vigilance over this department; and in case the Vestry approve the committee's recommendation of transposing the Wards, your comma. Lock wards to be classed with the vagrant sheds u committee." The rep,rt was adopted, and P passed, calling the attention of the Workhouse Committee to the sheds, '• with a view to abate the evil which has attended their establishment." te would advise the t rift fielt)s.

Stowell Brown was elected moderator. IMPORTANT MEETING OF CREDITORS.—On Tuesday a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Finch and Willey, of the Windsor Foundry, Liverpool, was held at the Clarendon-rooms. The large room was crowded. Mr. Wickham, of the Lowmoor iron Company, was unani mously voted to the chair, and a statement of the Recounts, drawn up by Mr. 'Bewley, was submitted to the meeting, from which it appeared that the total liabilities of the 'firm were £65,000, to meet which it was calculated the assets from all sources would realise ten shillings in the round. Mr. B. Finch stated that eighteen months ago, on the retirement of Mr. Smith, who is a creditor for £6,000, there was a loss of £6,000 on the concern, and that the completion of contracts then on haiid since entailed a further loss 0f , X7,000. The bank of Liverpool is well se cured, as alsollr. Geach, of Birmingham, on account of Chepstow-bridge. The creditors of J. Finch and Son are creditors , on this estate to upwards of £,40,000. A committee, consisting of Mr. Pearce, of the firm of Jones, Bland, and Co.; Mr. Ledward, and Mr. Langton, were ap pointed to wind up the concern as speedily as possible, and the best feeling prevailed amongst the creditors. HEALTIITOMMITTP:E.—TIIC usual weekly .tneeting was held on Thursday, Mr. Bennett in the chair. The Baths and Washhoeses Sub-committee recommended the ap pointment of an assistant at the Pierhead Baths to 'receive money ;.and had requested Mr. Newlands to make an estimate for the deepening of the four-feet plunge baths. The unseasonable weather had had an unfavourable effect on the health of the town, the deatl.s registered during the week ending the 7th instant having been- 05, showing an excess 007 over the previous week, and being a greater number than in any of the preceding ten weeks. The deaths in the parish were 147, and in the extra-parochial parts of the borough 58. The increase has been almost exclusively in the class of diseases chiefly influenced by atmospheric causes, diseases of the lungs having caused 78 deaths, about the average of the winter season, and exceeding the number registered in the previous week by 29. The daily mean temperature was below the average on every day of the week. The rainfall during the last four"days of the week amounted to 8-10ths of an inch. A letter was read from Mr. Roe, solicitor, claiming £450 compensation for alleged injury to property in Elliott street. by the alteration of the levels of the footwalk. Mr. Newlands said it was difficult to know on what ground the claim bad been made : the footwalk had been raised about six inches, and he would recommend that it be restored to its former level, if this claim were persevered in. Agreed-to. BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS.—The first meeting of the Birkenhead Commissioners was held on Tuesday. The Town-clerk said he had heard that Mr. Webster, one of the gentlemen who had been elected, was disquali fied ; and in that case Mr. Golborne, who stood next in the number of votes, wo u ld t a k e his place. Mr. Webster contended that, although he bad not paid upon the rate able value of C 35, still he was duly qualified. After son:e further discussion, Mr. Webster said he should certainly take the declaration, and leave Mr. Golborne to his re medy, either by .quo warrant() or mandamus.—Mr. Bryans then proposed that Mr. J. Laird should be chairman of the board. Mr. Pike seconded the motion. Mr. Greene did not rise to propose any amendment to Mr. Laird, but as that gentleman had made a large claim against the township, he put. it to the board whether it would not be more prudent that some one else should take the chair. The motion having been carried, Mr. Laird, on taking the. chair, said he was glad that Mr. Greene had given him an opportunity of alluding to a charge which bad been made against him for electioneering purposes only. He distinctly denied that lie had made, or intended to make, any claim against the township. In 1842 or 1843 he sold a quantity of land, at a very low price, to the commissioners, and was perfectly willing to have the bar gain carried out.—The various committees were then appointed.—A letter from the Birkenhead . and .Chester ;Railway Company, respecting a bridge across Tran mere Tool, to be built by Messrs. Willoughby, was referred to the To-It/and Roads Committee.—Mr. Watson as t the chairman knew anything a Mr a stipendiary magistrate •by the commissioners ? The Chairman replied that he never heard of the matter-until he saw it mentioned in the newspapers. DOCK COMMITTEE.—The usual weekly meeting of the Dock Committee was held on Thursday. A letter was read from Mr. W. Gerrard, ‘vharfinger of the Albert Dock, resigning his situation, and thanking the com mittee for the kindness which he had experienced at their hands since his appointment.—A Mr. Hughes, on bilalf of lr was read from stating Health Committee that the,flagging of Light with on the payment of A said it would be a waste 9-street wou: ium of £377 d be proceeded Mr. J. Holme if the curbs were put down, and.a single line of flags laid, it would be quite sufficient. The matter was referred to comet police were deprived of fires in the dock huts.—A letter was read from Mr. John Kennedy, chairman of the mas ter stevedores' committee, again calling the attention of the Dock Committee to the necessity of establishing a test of qualification as to the eligibility of persons to act as master stevedores, and pointine• out the evils which arose from the present system. Some discussion fol lowed, and it was eventually decided to inforniMr. Ken nedy that the Deck Committee had nozuthorily in the matter, but that the Council had power to deal with it.— A letter was read from Messrs. H. Steele:and Co., apply ing for a yard, as a avast and spar yard, at the north end of the Prince's Dock, where the land was to be re-par cAled, and hoping they would not be driven away from e site which they ' tl We should —utt so long occupied.

We believe that, although that 'ntleman b" - of travellers by his cheap s conveyed millions trains, not the slightest casualty has ever occurred TO THE DRINKERS OP THE POPE'S SPIRITUAL REAL7H According to the Church of Rome's own documents, the Pope is Head of the Church, and Vicar of Jesus Christ - , and the dispenser of spiritual blessings, and acts in his spirituel capacity as God upon earth, which so called power constitutes his infallibility. To drink with noisy acclamation the health of this spiritual authority is the greatest impiety ; for this spirituality, said to be derived from Christ, is, according to all Romanist authorities, in itself perfect, full, and complete; it is, properly speaking, the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and in its operations directs and sanctifies the people of God, which the Popo has usurped and pretends to have the power of dispensing to mankind. To drink the health of this spiritual bless in g is en offence against cur Redeemer and Comforter, which very nearly amounts to blasphemy. To drink the health o f th e Pop e i n h' s t em p ora l, or in- diyidual, or personal capacity you did not profess to do, but if you meant it, you insulted her Majesty Queen Vic`oria_by preferring a foreigner before her, and you 'orfeited t characte .glishmen, and your oa•r respectfully, n Victoria.

On Wednesday a man named Flynn was committed for trial, charged with being implicated in a robbery from the dwelling-house of Mr. Chilton, Northumberland -terrace, Everton. The excursionists appear to have been in several cases victimised. .0n Tuesday a man named 'Michael Hamilton, (a duffer,) was committed to gaol by the magistrates, for stealin4 a handkerchief and five shillings from a " cheap tripper," named Joseph Armitage, in a public-house in Oak-street, on the previous evening. This is only one of many larcenies committed on them. mente of the Sanatory , Act, some of whose dwellings, ilc :ording to the statement of the officers, presented a sad state of filth. One man in particular, (an Irishman,) with a family of seven children, lived in a cellar 'not six feet high, and in this wretched hovel they slept, the copse • quence of which was that they were never free from dis ease, the father baying been in bad health for si years. He was ordered to quit the cellar, avid w is. and costs COMMITTAL OF THE MATE OF THE JANDING STAGF Thomas Corlett, mate of the landing stage, and his wife, Catherine Corlett, were committed on Wednesday for trial, on the charge of having stolen £23 ft orn the person of Mr. Robert Redhead, a provision dealer, of Boughton, Chester. It would appear that Mr. Redhead, having been in a state of drunkenness , was taken into the h u t or land- •• V ing station, and there had the money taken from him. A constable heard Redhead asking Corlett to return him his money. Both of the latter were drunk at the time. Su perintendent Towerson asked the daughtcrof the prisoners if she knew anything of some bank notes, when she pro duced those £5 notes which he handed to the court. The male prisoner stated that Mr. Redhead gave him the notes for safety. ANOTHER ROBBERY OF NOTES FROM POST LETTER On Thurs named Thom wareuousetnatt and post-clerk in the service of 11 , A. P.
