The Churchwardens and Select Vestry, in conformity with usual custom, present to the Parishioners a Summary of Receipts and Expenditure for the year ending 25th March, 1811. Notwithstanding the high price of the necessaries of life, and the scarcity of employment amongst the operative classes, particularly those connected with building, in con sequence of a section of them being so ill-advised at the commencement of the last year, as to turn out for wages, together with the severe and trying winter we have just gone through ; it will be satisfactory to the Parishioners, as it is gratifying to the Select Vestry, to observe the nett expenses not to have so much increased over those of last year as they reasonably might have anticipated. To this favourable result, however, they must attribute in part, the timely aid afforded by the District Provident Society, and the opening of the soup establishments, from which many honest industrious families have been supplied with nutritious food at a cheap rate, whereby they have been enabled to preserve that inde pendence of character which the Select Vestry are happy to observe is gaining ground so much amongst the poor belong ing to this Parish. The Overseers have visited the Parish Apprentices in the several districts, and have found them as comfortable and as satisfied with their situations as they had the pleasure to report last year. The Churchwardens and Select Vestry have to announce the resignation of the Rev. H. S. Joseph, the chaplain to the workhouse. It is to be lamented that in the course of last year, there has been in the parish seven cases of death, alleged to have been caused by the " want of the common necessaries of life." In several of them, however, money was found upon the person—one was of a respectable family, and brought on by imprudence; all the others were entire strangers, and in no case was any aid sought for from the parish, or any inti mation of the distress given i n any s h ape ; but when it is considered that this being the. principal port of communi cation from the Sister Island, from whence the emigration the last year exceeded that of any former period, and the consequent disappointment in not meeting that employment for their families in the manufacturing districts they were seeking—the wonder is, considering the reckless unprovided way in which they come, that more of these deplorable casu alties have not happened. Th e parish cemetery attached to St. Martin's Church, where all the poor inhabitants have burial ground gratis, is, i n consequence of the natur e o f the ground being filled-up clay pits, in some places very wet, at the depth it is proper th e graves should be made. Au opportunity now offers by the deep sewer made through Vauxhall -road, effectually to drain it. The same cause has occasioned the foundation of the chapel, appropriated for the reading of the burial service, to give way, and requires for the more decent observance of the funeral rites, and deference to the feelings of the rela tions and friends of deceased poor, that a more commodious one should be erected. The Churchwardens and Select Ves try have therefore obtained plans and estimates of the cost of these improvements, amounting to £916. 16s. Od., an expen diture which they trust the parishioners will unanimously sanction. In conformity with the instructions which the Select Ves try received from the parishioners in Public Vestry, and being unable to obtain a private Act in reference to the Parish of of Liverpool, the Select Vestry have the satisfaction of stat ing that after considerable delay, and unexpected obstacles, they obtained the passing of the Act of last session, 3d and 4th Vict. chap. 28, intituled "An Act to explain and amend an Act of 2d and 3 years of her present Majesty for more equally assessing and levying watch rates in cert a i n Boroughs," and and it is a just subject of congratulation to the Parishioners that the Corporation no longer possess the power of adding to the Corporate Treasury from the pockets of the Parish ioners, so large an additional impost as £12,000. per annum, the amount of which they would have been empowered, if not compelled to levy upon the Parishioners if the Act ad verted to had not been obtained. The Select Vestry have also to inform the Parishioners, that in conformity with the discretionary powers conferred upon them by the Parishioners at large, they opposed the Liverpool Dock Bill in the last session of Parliament and eventually the Bill was withdrawn from the session. It will be felt by the Parishioners, that the discretion thus vested in the Select Vestry was not abused, when they are informed that although the Dock Trustees would not recog nise the demand by the Persil, that the warehouses proposed to be built by the Dock Trustees, should be subjected to all the local imposts to which private warehouses were liable ; vet in the Dock Bill introduced in the present Session of Parliament, the Dock Trustees have conceded all for which the Parish contended in the last session. The Select Vestry also watched the Inland Bonding Ware house Bill of last session, but more active means became un necessary, from the Bill being withdrawn by Government. The Select Vestry have the satisfaction to state, that with the exception of the balance due to the Bank, amounting to £2,930., and a few accounts of no particular moment that may be outstanding, the whole of the liabiliti es o f the Parish are liquidated. To meet this debt to the Parish, the collect able amount of the outstanding rates may be fairly estimated at £16,000., leaving a balance in favour of the Parish of £13,000. It now only remains for the Churchwardens and Select Vestry to announce that their office is at an end, that the ad ministration of the affairs of the Parish and the Government of the Poor are transferred from them to the Guardians of the Poor, elected under the Poor Law Amendment Act. The Parishioners in their late Petition to the House of Commons, have borne testimony to the working of the Select Vestry System in this parish, an d have shown, th at under it, the Poor have been humanely and considerately treated, and at the same time j us ti ce h as been done to the ratepayers. The Select Vestry are not without hope, that the feeling and wishes of the great body of ratepayers of this Parish, thus presented to the legislature, will have their d ue we i ght, and will lead to some mo dification of the Bill now passing through Parliament, by which the Parish of Liverpool, in common may be left in the mana gement of i ts with other large towns, own parochial affairs.

Tea and Rhubarb), in order to get a motion in their bowels." This is the advice of Ke-shin, the most influential minister at the Court of Pekin, and now appointed Fxaminer of the English. Our unsuspicious Admiral, all-powerful whilst relying upon his carronades, has been cajoled by the wily Ke-shin into exchanging them for a goose-quill, and is to meet him, not on his proper element, but in Ke-shin's own city, Canton. CAPT. PIDDING's predictions have been verified to the letter. No part of the £3,000,000 is paid, or even promised. Instead of our demands being granted, the inquiry into them was not begun—the Court, at which, Ke shin of ten years' tea-stopping celebrity is to preside, was not even formed. All, therefore, whether content with Fo kein Bohea or patrons of Captain Pidding's Teas, will act prudently in laying in a good stock ; for if Ke-shin acts as he advised the Emperor, tea will treble itself. The public— the best judges of all that concerns the palate or the pocket —having purchased above a million cattles of CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS, is sufficient proof of their superior quality ; but besides being used at the Palace, CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS are the only kind admitted at the table of fashion, while the frugal find that their strength renders them the most economical. Be particular in askieg for CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEA, and observe that all pack ages have the signature of " CAPT. JOHN RHODES PIDDI2sIG." The present reduced price of Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture, Black Tea, is 6s. 4d. per lb., being Bs. 6d. the catty package ; and f or H owq ua's Small Leaf G unpowder Tea, is 9s. per lb., b e i ng 12s. the catty pack age , h alf and quarter eatties in proportion.

JPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street net s particu • larly to call the a tt en ti on o f his Friends an d the Public to the undermentioned selection of Preparations, compound edli at his Labor a to r y, a t r i a l o f a 5 , of which will con v i nce the most sceptical of thei r d ec i super i or i ty. THE FLUID EXTRAC F SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &o. trom the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.

THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.--If this notorious per sonage is really " abroad," he has not visited Berry-street in his travels; for, on passing up that street yesterday, we perceived the following announcement in a draper's shop window :—" Mens Sox 6 pence each." CONVICTS IN VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.—A letter has been just received from John Jones, who was tried and sentenced to be hanged for the attempt to fire Birmingham during the chartist riots of 1839, but whose sentence was afterwards commuted to transportation for life. After stating other sufferings, he says, " What little meat we do have is what is brought from other colonies, and of the animals that have died on the passage. The next is our water, which is not fit for a beast to drink; and then there are our overseers who are over us, they will not even allow us to stand upright, nor to turn our heads during the time we are at work, which is from six o'clock in the morning till half-past five in the evening. We have our break fast before we go out in the morning to work, which is a drop of wheat water and a pound and a half of brown bread, that serves us the whole day ; and if it rains all day, we must endure it till it is time to leave off work, and then we come to our barracks, and when we are mustered together, we are marched off to bed, which is a bed of straw, with one blanket and one rug to cover us. Our shoes, which are supposed to last us four months, will not, with the greatest care, last us more than two months ; then we all go barefoot the remainder of the time. Then there are the clothes that we wear, which have to last us six months, they are all off our backs in a deal less time ; and every morning when we rise from our beds we are in danger of getting into trouble, as, if it is but the look, it will get us into trouble and expose us to the severest punishment, as that is all they look for on purpose to keep us as long as they can on government's hands, and in tke greatest of misery." The convict then proceeds to deny his guilt, and calls on his friends to intercede for a mitigation of his sentence. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.-01 1 Wednesday week a most extraordinary circumstance occurred between Workington and Maryport, by which the turnpike-road, for a considerable distance, was literally strewed with gold ! On the morning of the day above-mentioned a servant man be longing to Mr. Walker, of Maryport, was sent to the White haven bank to draw the purchase money to which his master had bought, amounting to 419,500 , it ap pay for an estate pears, however, that the sum of £2,000 bad been paid through the bank, and consequently, the man received the sum of £BOO, the whole of which was in sovereigns, care fully packed up in brown paper. This amount, in sove reigns, being deposited in the saddle bags, the man in stantly mounted his horse, and set off on his return home to Maryport, and was seen on the road proceeding at a rattling pace. The man, however, had no sooner reached his master's, a n d had dismounted, than he discovered that many of the sovereigns were loose in the bags, which had burst, and no less than 238 of them were missing. messenger immediately began to retrace his journey back thet)- wards Workington, in search of the lost gold, and art less bridge-end, on coming out of Maryport, he found no than 17 of the sovereigns, lying nearly "" toge`r h teL The Pro ceeding onwards, he picked up several more road. nea A man same place, and a number of odd ones named James Graham found d 21 ;these ' were sovereigns and G e ill W e alker's servant pro. another loan named Richard gathered:near Flimby.

We are not aware of the precise amount of sovereigns miss ing ; but through the activity of the police-officers, and the honesty of other individuals, Mr. Walker's loss is much less than could have been calculated on under such extraordinary eircumstances.—Carli4le Journal.
