The Bordeaux is the property of Van Hoey Smith, hsq., of Rotterdam, and is intended for the wine trade ietween that port and Bordeaux.—A beautifully. modelled steamer, named the Tiber, lately launched by the ame 'builders, is now receiving her machinery, and is ex pected at this port about the 12th of next month. She is property of Messrs.

The first case was that of a child named William Veal, aged nine years, whose clothes caught fire on the 29th of September, when he was severely burnt. After lingering for some weeks in great agony, he died last Saturday.—The other was that of Mary Ann Cavanagh. aged four years, who resided with her parents in Lightbody-street. 'On Sunday, while drying her pinafore, her clothes caught fire, and she was severely burnt on the back. She was taken to thellor thern Hospital, hut died the following day in convulsions. DARING ROBBERIES IN EVERTON.—'OR Sunday even ing, between seven and eight o'clock, three men, with their faces blacked, entered the house of Mr. Stanriek, Ellesmere-terrace. Everton. TEe servant girl was the only occupant. They dragged her into the kitchen, one man guarding her, while the others went up stairs and rifled the drawers. The thieves soon afterwards made their escape, carrying off as a booty a £9OO dock-bond, a will, and plate to the value of about '£l4 On the same evening also, the house of Mr. Lancaster, in Sussex street, was entered by means of false keys. Mrs. Lan caster, who was in the house at the time, gave the alarm, when the thief ran away. AectnENTs.—On Tuesday last an emigrant, named Betsey Norris, who, along with her husband and family, were on board the ship Compromise, about to sail for America, fell into - the hold of that vessel, and received several severe contusions on the bedy. The injuries are of such a nature as to prevent the poor woman and her family from sailing for several weeks.—On Friday Richard Richardson, sixty years of age, in the employ of the Cor. poration, attempted, for the purpose of shortening his route, to climb over some boarding which had been placed in front of some repairs which are being effected at the Clarence pier, when the frame-work fell upon upon him, and fractured one of his lees immediately above the knee. ST. HELENS.—COAL PIT FATALITIES.—An inquest was held on Tuesday, at the Sefton Arms, before Mr. Driffield, on John Gregson, aged twelve years, who worked in the Royal Colliery, at Eccleston, belonging to Messrs. Bromilow, where, on Saturday last, an explosion of fire damp took place. It was supposed that the fire caught from the deceased's lamp, which was very dirty. The jury recommended that an hispector be appointed to see that the colliers' lamps are cleaned before they descend the pit. Verdict, " Accidental."—An inquest was . held on Saturday, at Black Brook, on Thomas M'Guire, aged 20, a hooker-on at a colliery, who, as he was descending the pit in a basket, on the 16th instant, fell out, and was killed. Verdict, "Accidental." —Manchester Courier. THE LIVERPOOL ADDRESS TO KOSSITTIE.—On Satur- day, an adjourned preliminary meeting was held at the Clarendon-rooms, to determine on an address to Kossuth. The attendance was numerous, and Mr. George Holt was called to the chair. The committee appointed last week presented their address,which was deemed too long, and it -was referred back for reduction. The address was sub sequently reduced and agreed upon. On the motion of 'Mr. H. M. Haylock, seconded by Mr. Wm. Rathbone, it was resolved that a public meeting of the inhabitants should be called to adopt the address ; and the committee was deputed to arrange for the meeting and for the presentation of the document to Kossuth. A subscription was enwed into to defray the expenses. It will be seen by advertisement that the meeting will be held in the • •I A'mphitheatre, on Thursday next. THE PRINCIPLE OF 'VOLUNTARY EDUCATION.---The advocates of the voluntary principle of popular education having held a series of meetings in Manchester for the promotion of their views,have now opened the.campaign in Liverpool. Nearly the whole of Wednesday was de voted .to a conference in Newington Chapel for free dis cussion.on the general subject of national education, and especially the consideration of the plans adopted by the Educational Board of the Congregational Union; while, on the previous evening, an introductory address was.de livered by.the Rev. G. W. Conder, of Leeds. A public meeting was held in Great tGeorge-street Chapel, .on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of hearing the advo. cocates of the voluntary system state their views at length, and of forming a branch society in connexion with the Congregational Board of London. The Rev. Dr. Raffles occupied the .chair; and after making a few remarks in advocacy of the principle of voluntary education, intro duced Mr. E. Baines to the meeting, who read a paper on " Our Educational Position, with remarks upon the two Manchester plans of Education." FIRES.—On Saturday evening, a little before seven o'clock. a fire broke out in the cellar of Alessrs. Speers and Saunders' paint warehouse, Brook-street, and, from the combustible nature of the materials, the greatest appre hensions were entertained for the safety of the surrounding property. Mr. Ilewitt, with a portion of the fire-brigade, engines, and other apparatus, was speedily in attendance, and, by great promptitude, succeeded in extinguishing the flames before much damage was done. It may be stated, as a remarkable and fortunate circumstance, that some casks of naptha which caught fire had the hoops burnt without communicating with the inflammable material which the casks contained. The fire is attributed to the very careless use of a candle in looking for a shilling which bad been dropped in the cellar. We believe Messrs. Speers and Saunders are insured in the West of England and Phoenix-offices. The engine of the former com pany was on the spot soon after the fire broke out.---At noon, on Saturday. there was an alarm of fire on the pre mises occupied by Mr. John Noble., Canal-banks, but very little damage was done. BAZAAR.—ST. MATHEW'S CHURCH AND SCHOOLS,--- A bazaar in aid of the funds for the completion and con secration of St. Matthew's Church and Schools, Hill street, Toxteth-park, was commenced on Tuesday, in the Royal Assembly-rooms, Great George•street, and con tinued till last evening. The articles exhibited for sale included a beautiful and costly assortment of ladies' work. There was, however, a preponderance , of the useful over the mere decorative, Irish linen fabrics being present in great bulk, of the best quality, and selling off, if not at a " tremendous sacrifice, ' at least at unusually low prices. The stalls were presided over respectively by Miss Tails,. Mrs. W. M. Smith, Mrs. Bogeart, Miss Watts (of Mac clesfield), Miss Wright, Mrs. Tickell, Miss Goode, Miss Forrest, Miss Henderson, and other ladies, nearly all of whom were handsome contributors also. The Rev. Mr. Brewster had charge of not less than three stalls, and was most courteously attentive to visitors, whilst Mr. Tickell, at the other end of the room, displayed some beautiful statuettes, and the rarest of China pottery from Stafford• shire. Emidy's brass band enlivened the proceedings by playing the most popular airs at intervals. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Right Rev. Chancellor Raikes; E. Cropper, Esq., R. Bickersteth, Esq., an d th e Rev. James lioldenStewart, are the patrons of St. Matthew's Church. Tile receipts are expected to reach about £3OO. LECTURES AT ST.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL 'SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, at the Savings' Bank, Bold-street, the Rev. Rector Campbell in the chair. From the statement of accounts, it appeared that there was a balance of £137 in favour of the society. The report showed that the society's operations during the past year had been satisfactory, and that the whole of the schools under its control were in an efficient state. The half-'yearly examination of the children was highly satisfactory. The report was ordered to be printed. The new committee was appointed, and the proceedings termi nated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY The annual meeting was held on Monday evening, Mr. J. B. Yates, president, in the chair. The report of the retiring council was read. The council, after referring to a variety of other matters, congratulated the members on the publication of the biennial volume of the society's procee,dinsq lOnatin.,- ' A long list of donations during the past year was reported.

Howson, J. Hartnup, J. A. Piston, Dr. Time, and Mr. Byerley. The vice-presidents were then elected. The choice fell upon Dr. 'Dickenson, Dr. Duncan, and Mr. Robert WAnclrew.

Holman Hunt. This is one of the most remarkable pictures in the Exhibition; there is no denying its talent, but it is impossible not to regret that a painter of such abilities as Mr. Hunt should have fallen into the vagaries of the pre-Raphaelite school. The colouring is good, and the expression of the dramatis personce is masterly, but the tapestry style of the picture displeases. No. 33, " Just ripe," is a pretty and clever little picture by Mr. R. Clothier. No. 34, " Raglan Castle, Monmouthshire," by Mr. F. Watts. This picture has but little merit ; it is harsh, and without any interest as a landscape. •No. 35, "Cart-horses Watering," by Mr. J. Dearman. The animals are well drawn, and the general arrangement of the picture is good, but the colouring is cold. No. 36, " Goodrych Ferry, on the Dart," by Mr. F. Watts. The perspective is admirably managed. No. 37, " Monte Pellegrino," by Mr. J. W. Carmichael. This a clever, br . ght, and masterly picture, showing much merit in its details. No. 38.

No. 39, " Rustic Children," by Miss E. Goodall. A nicd little cabinet picture. No. 40, "The Hayfield," by Mr. H. Shirley. Another small picture of but little merit. No. 41, " Musing by the Way," by Mr. H. M. Anthony, and No. 42, " Dead Game, Capercailzie," &c., by Mr. W. Davis, are crude attempts. No. 43, "A Country Road," by Mr. E.

A picture of no great merit, either in execu non 'or design—giving rather the idea of a theatrical tableaux than a pair of Highland rustics making love.

No. 49, RUstic .Bridge, near Nantlie, Carnarvon shire," by Mr. J. W. Oakes. A very clever sketch, the colouring good, and the distances well managed. Mr. Oakes studies nature closely, and has an excellent appre ciation of the picturesque. No. 50, " Cattle in a Farm-yard," by Mr. John Dear man.

The bench had some doubt whether they ought not to send the prisoner for trial • but, taking all the Circu ms t ances of the case into account,' and as no fatal consequences had ensued, they thought the ends of justice would be satisfied by dealing summarily with the `sP.

Stubbs and Alcard—the remainder being chosen from councillors ; and the consequence is, certain members served their time out, and refused to stand again, and n o w _ the cry is, " Wanted a Mayor, ex-Mayors be re-elected, there is not one member in t Council of sufficient talent who will accept the office.
