librrlig*"Y // -,,touut :Qtattbarb. T.eILK IN TOWN. (FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.) Temple, Monday. LONDON is once more beginning to recognise itself. It presents no longer that strange, wild, uncouth nqpect which it wore a month ago. The turbid stream of impe- tuous provincialism and of continentalism has run out, and the decorous tide of polished metropolitanism has set decidedly in. The aristocratic Piccadilly is no longer de- secrated by interminable waggons, by rough-and-ready excursion omnibuses, by atrocious advertising vans three stories high, and by heterogenous hordes of barbarians dressed in all conceivable kinds of outlandish garments, trudging backwards and forwards for the hare life, with- out order or ceremony, and pushing and driving each other like a troop of Irish pigs on their way to a fair. Bushy, unkempt beards, and prodigally larded moustachios, are become the exception, not the rule ; and the compara tively unattractive hirsute facial ornaments worn by my eccentric friend, Col. Sibthorpe, have a fair chance of again creating a sensation. The lawyers are pouring in, from the long vacatio❑ rambles, to their chambers, not to do business, for their occupation, like Othello's, is gone, but, in accordance with the time-honoured custom of their ancestors, to be ready in case any solitary client might by Icome brief. Toe gentry, who houses on the inroad of the Guths, aro ous retreats, and are having the a miracle drop in with a shed from their reception-rooms, not lied from ti g from their 1' dust and c for the purpose of keeping up the hospitality and gaiety of past days—for, alas ! few of them have money now to spend on superfluities—but to preserve them in case the long-promised " good time coming" should ever revisit the glimpses of the moon. Some few coronetted car- riages have even made their appearance, and the eques- trians of Rotte d the charioteers of the ring are all aspiring tailors tuous publicans, and such-like rabble rout as have had these courses to them- selves for many a dreary day. An occasional dinner or soi► ee is given by some fair leader of ton, whose fortune has sur vived the general wreck ; and first in rank and tasteful munificence, the amiable Duchess of Somerset takes the lead. Other kind and fashionable hostesses are preparing to follow the Duchess's example, so that the votaries of pleasure, and the youthful members of distinguished houses may still encourage the hope that good society is not quite extinct, and that all the once-hospitable and magnificent mansions of the high nobility may not for ever present the desolate appearance of Chandos House in Pall-mall. The low Kossuth fever still, I am sorry to say, rages in certain unsavory localities, and in one or two places seems to have attained a virulence beyond the cure of hellebore. Several members of the Corporation, morbidly liable to all sorts of infections, have caught it, and they are pronounced incurable by all who are acquainted with their tempera ments and habits of life. They rave about Kossuth, they run wild after Kossuth, and if they don't stand on their beads and dance fandangos, after the manner of Barry, the clown at Astley's, hi frantic honour of Kossuth, it is only because their short necks and ponderous rotundity of person prevents such gymnastics, except on pain of instant death by apoplexy. It may do very well for that sincere patriot, and devoted friend to all mankind in general, and the happy and contented tillers at Snigs-end in particular --Mr. Feargus O'Connor—to declare that he would die for the great citizen, that he would shed his blood for him, and give him his heart ; but a plethoric Common Council man of London cannot die so easily. nor spare the little blood in comparison to the blubber that is in him so conveniently, nor part with his heart, which is a solid substance, not a nonentity, so readily as Red Feargus. Of course the Chartist self-elected champion would give his life, and his blood, and his heart, aye and his body, bones and all—that is, figuratively,—to any friend—for a proper consideration ; but your Common Councilman does not comprehend these nice distinctions between words and things, which Feargus understands thoroughly, and there fore the patriot of Guildhall will freely give his voice to Kossuth ; but when it comes to the question of a donation of his scanty reservoir of blood, or of his gastronomic organs, he stands in pause, and his enthusiasm incon tinently halts. In plain unvarnished truth, the greatly puffed metropolitan demonstration of honour to, and sympathy for, the illustrious Hungarian run-away was a paltry affair. Fancy the opinions of the nobility, gentry, commercial respectability, and general inhabitants of this vast capital, represented by that amiable but silly person, Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, by Mr. Alderman Wire, and by Mr. Gilpin—the lineal descendant of the famous Johnny, who run the comic race from London to Ware and back ! The amusing part of this ridiculous (eating is, that the dupes of ignorant puffery and bombastic roman_ cing are beginning to find out that the idol they have been worshipping is a cheat, that he is an aristocrat in disguise, and that all the fine flourishing things said about him as a liberator, a regenerator, and a man of the people, are claptraps, without a word of truth at the bottom. They are-discovering that he was a backbone aristocrat, and a military despot in Hungary—that he was a red republican at Marseilles, that he is a gentle agreeable limited-mon archy man in England—in short, and in expressive verna cular, that he is a precious humbug, as all professional agitators are. " Men change with fortunes, manners change with climes, Tenets with books, and principles with times." What this political chamelion will be across the Atlantic, remains to be seen ; but that he will lavish his Magyar blarney on the people of the States, and upon all their in stitutions, north and south, in turn, I have little doubt. You may judge how far his fervid eloquence will carry Lira in New York and Carolina, when in the sober Guild hall of London he indulges in such outrageous and fulsome rhodomontade as the following :—" Even the grass which will grow over my grave will cry out to Heaven and to man—' England and America, do not grant a charter to the Czar to dispose of humanity,' " &c. But lam sick of the hero and the hero. worshippers, and shall say no more about him ; He is a bore, A charlatan, a coxcomb, and has been, At best, no better than a go-between. Talking of honour given where honour's due, what do you think of the unusual crop of full-fledged knights that have sprung up within a few days ? We may give over sneering at Polish counts and German and Hungarian barons, for, if we go on manufacturing knights at the rate they have been turned out lately, every hodman, glass bower, policeman, and carpenter in the United Kingdom will belong to the equestrian order. In Elizabeth's days knighthood was indeed a distinction, reserved only for those who were the foremost men of all their time ; but now knights are made by the score, and " Sir Joseph" or " Sir Charles" ami "my Lady" will soon be, like the Magyar nobles, honourably employed holding horses in the thoroughfares, or crying " mackerel—fresh mackerel." in the thoroughfares, or crying " mackerel ! fresh mackerel." The Lord Mayor of London was once asked by his lady, immediately after he had the royal sword laid on his shoulder, 4 ' Well, well, my dear, I know you're a real knight, but what sort of a knight ? Are you a Knight of the Garter ; or of St. Patrick ; or of the Golden Fleece?" This question was a poser. The poor Lord Mayor could only reply, " Upon my life, my love, I forgot to put that very important query ; but I will run this instant to the Minister, and make the inquiry. Of course it is only fit that I should know to which of the illustrious orders I belong." My lady was grievously disappointed when she found out that her portly spouse was only a carpet knight after all, and, what provoked her beyond endurance, that she was henceforth only to be received as the " lady of a Bachelor." I understand that some of the new knights are sorely puzzled to find appropriate arms and mottoes, and, therefore, I think, it is o n ly an act of common good nature for any one who can to assist them in this difficulty. I take the liberty to suggest to Sir Joseph Paxton the adoption of the Crystal Palace, of course, for his arms, with the following motto : Fortuna vitrea est, qua, cum maxirne splendet frangitur , If he can get a better, so : if not. there is one for him cut and dry. The Bloomers have come out this week in great force, and with extraordinary eclat. They have had their first grand ball (and most probably their last) for the season, in Hanover-square-rooms. Every variety of Bloomer costume was represented there in perfection, and all the charming agaceries of Bloomer manners were played off with an ease and freedom worthy of the regenerators of old-fashioned womanly modesty and womanly reserve. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1851. About fifty nymphs assembled there, in the midst of five hundred male admirers, to show off the new invented attire ; and unquestionably they exerted themselves to the utmost to win golden opinions from all sorts of persons, if not in favour of the dress reform, at least in favour of the individual reformers. Curiously enough, the waltz and the polka, which we believe the Bloomers proscribe in the lecture-room, were furiously patronized in the ball-room; and the delicate Bloomeristes twirled away - long and fast until supper-time arrived, when a new phase of the man ners and customs of the novel school for ladies was exhibited. Then, indeed, I might say or sing : There was a sound of revelry by night, And England's capital had gathered then; Her Bloomers, with their pantalettes so tight, And lamps shone o'er bad women, and worse men. The orgies within reached the crowd without, and if there was queer and boisterous behaviour in the Hanover-square supper room, there was a row-royal in the street. Had the moh caught hold of any of the fair refugees, I suspect they would have given a new pattern to her costume. The police had enough to do to cave the ball-room from being As it was, they had to capture several assailants ; and two schoolmasters, a gentleman, an ironmonger, and stormed a butcher, were sent to prison for seven days, another gentleman was fined 303., and another 103., by the magis. trate next day, for the opposition to the Bloomer diver sion. So ended the first Bloomer hall in London, an ex hibition which I hope will not be allowed again to be held in any respectable assembly room. This unaccountable caper reminds me that the annual ball for the Polish and Hungarian refugees will be given in the Guildhall on the 13th inst.,the corporation having again consented to allow tne hall to be used for that purpose. I should like to know when there is to be an end of this stupid harbouring and supporting of the raff of all rations. Charity begins at home in every country but England. We have thousands of our own people perishing of want, and no one to relieve them, but all the outcast foreigners on the earth come here to dance, and England pays the piper. What a melancholy exhibition is just now being made of the It‘dical M.P. chymist of Oxford-street. He who is so famous for analysing queer compounds has been him self subject to the process ; and what ingredients he is found to be composed of ! The engineer has been hoist by his own petard. Who would have thought the mild, prim, unsophisticated Friend Jacob was the sly corruptor of the innocent electors of St. Alban's ? This is, indeed, a deceitful world—app'arances should go for nothing. Where will the abashed Jacob hido his burning blushes ? He cannot conceal them under his broad brim, for he has discarded that convenient bonnet, and has lately doffed the Quaker habits in more senses than one. It is a well noted fact that the men who talk most noisily about purity and all that, are generally found, upon examination, to be much more corrupt than ordinary. Women of bad morals invariably speak loudly and incessantly about their honourand virtue. So your Radic.l Reformer is even fright fully vehement in denouncingbribery at elections, yet some how when his practices are minutely inquired into they are found to differ from his precepts as widely as falsehood does from truth. It is now incontestible that sterling and attractive Bell. metal, to the amount of, say £3,000, found its way to St. Alban's, at the last election, though, of course, simple Jacob knew nothing whatever about it, and would not for the world have thought of soiling his tongue by asking any dirty question—and his partner in the chymicals did not feel it to be his duty to mention how the brass, bronze, or whatever it was, was departing in heavy packages of £5OO worth each. What charming innocence on all sides What a picture of the primitive pastoral simplicity of the age of gold ! And Mr. Coppock, too, the gentleman who " manages" the election business for the government, what a pretty agent he is in the affair! But commend me to Edwards for a first-rate electioneering hand. What a broth of a boy he is, and what superlatively-persuasive powers he does possess ! Why, he would persuade any free and independent elector of St. Alban's to vote against his own father, nay, against his own self ; and that by merely whispering a few cabalistic words in his ear, and holding up to view a little bag inscribed with the necromantic characters "£5." " Oh, he is the boy for bewitching them, Whether good humoured, or coy, They cry out while he is beseeching them, — Do what you will with me—joy I" Ah, Jacob ! Jacob ! I fear your buttonless and unbaptised friends of the drab habiliments are little proud of you at this moment, and that they do not consider you any great honour to the cloth. That indefatigable confectioner of dramatic bon-bons, Morris Barnett, has brought out a new farce at the Strand Theatre, in which a young gentleman, whose imagination is as strong as his common sense is weak, and who rejoices in the poetico-penny-a-lining name of Byron Jenkins Scraps, plays divers antics as humorous as they are absurd, and in which he is aided and abetted by an intel lectual pot-boy of his intimate acquaintance. A soul subduing little clear-starcher is at the bottom of the plot, which, of course, is brought to a finale in a manner the most agreeable to all parties, includ ng the audience. Mr. Belton and Mr. Rogers performed the respective rCles of Scraps and Pots with great animation ; and the piece went off, as all Mr. Barnett's do, most successfully. A Miss Laura Keene has made her debilt on the London stage, at the Olympic, in the character of Pauline, in the " Lady of Lyons," and has made a good first impression. She is pretty, with a graceful figure, and a voice capable of modulation. In the present dearth of theatrical news I may mention that Miss Glyn has been reading Shakes peare's plays at the Whittington-club. The other night she read King John," and read it well and effectively, particularly the part of Constance. These readings of plays, now becoming so common, are well enough when theatres are closed, but they are no more to be compared to acted dramas than the dry bones of a turkey are to the entire bird. So Lord Campbell has returned at last from his mission to Rome. He arrived at Stratheden House on Friday. I wonder if he has brought the draft of a concordat, with the " Sovereign Pontiff," in his pocket. I should not be surprised if he has. The Ecclesiastical Titles Bill was all moonshine. It was intended to be so. It is vio lated openly every day here in London, not to speak of Ireland, where it is scoffed at. At the Athlone dinner, the other day, given to the leader of the Roman " brass band," W. Keogh, M.P., the first toast drank was " The Pope," and after that " The Queen." Where's supremacy there ? Think of that Mr. Ferguson ! But look at the signs of the times. Mr. Frederick Peel, who opposed the bill in Parliament, is the first man who is taken into high office by the government. Mr. Gladstone, too, whom Lord Palmerston is now cajolling with con summate art, will be hooked in by-and-bye. Sir James Graham and Mr. Cardwell will glide in, in due course. Then heigh for Popery, and what you will! Cleopatra's needle is coming at last ; Captain Lord Edward Russell is at Alexandria, with Mr. Tucker, the engineer in her Majesty's ship Vengeance, to inquire into the best mode of conveying it. It is to be placed, 'tis said, in Hyde Park, on the site of the Crystal Palace. What an absurdity it will be The thing is not worth removing. All the hieroglyphics on the exposed surface are defaced, and it is generally believed that those on the sides and bottom are likewise obliterated. Heaven knows we have enough of these old stones already, but if we must have more of them, let us select some that are in a good state of preservation ; there are plenty such to be had for the asking. COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR NEWCASTLE SEVEN LIVES LOST. On Friday morning another of these disastrous accidents which, unfortunately, are of such frequent occurrence in the coal-mining districts, took place at West Moor Pit, near Kil lingworth, a colliery village on the York, Newcastle, and Ber wick Railway, and about six miles from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The colliery formerly belonged to Lord Ravensworth, but is now the property of Messrs. John Bowes and Co. About one o'clock in the afternoon, the pit being in full operation, and upwards of 100 men at work, an explosion occurred in the metal coal drift in the south district of the pit. 14 men were working in that part of the pit where the explosion took place. Attempts were immediately made to rescue the men, and in a short time eight, who were very severely hart, were brought to bank alive, and conveyed to their homes. Six others were still missing; and at half-past two o'clock the first dead body was brought up, and subsequently five others, all of which were very much blackened and disfigured. It was ten o'clock in the 2vening before the last body was brought to bank. At seven o'clock in the evening a boy of the name of Mason died from the injuries he had received, making a total of seven deaths. All the men, we regret to say, have left widows, and many of them children. ANOTHER LECTURE - ON BLOOMERISM, &c. 7 -Last night Mrs. Catherine 'Winter delivered a lecture in the Concert-hall, upon " How Ladies may be called to the Bar, and on Dress Reform." The lady was attired in a very unfavourable specimen of the Bloomer costume. The whole affair was an entire failure, both as regards the lecture, and also as to the attendance,—the house was not more than one-sixth filled. The auditory in the gallery consisted of a b ou t 33 i n di v id ua l s. Bl oomer i sm ma y ren der itself notorious through the agency of lady lecturers, mounting not only the unmentionables, but a public plat form also ; but by these means it will never become popular. The Bloomer lectures this week are more plen tiful than Sowers in May. PUNCH IN LIVERPOOL. WRITTEN FOR THE LIVERPOOL .STANDARD. " Unlike my subject will 1 frame my song; It shall be witty, and it sha'n't be long." Lord Chesterfield. Good lieges of this loyal town and port ! Know ye, that I, great PuNcu, the Prince of Wit, Finding my London, where I hold my court, Just now deserted, dull, and quite unfit For merry monarch, have resolved, for sport, To take my note-book, and pack up my kit; And LIVERPOOL, my bag in hand, to visit, T'inspect, review it—and perchance to quiz it. 'Tis now the fashion for great potentates To make progresses through their towns delighted. It adds, no doubt, a trifle to the rates; But then the Mayors all get praised and knighted Besides, the streets get swept—and oiled the gates, And places dark before for once get lighted. All this is good for some. So here am I, King Punch, to use my royal nose and eye. I've seen your Docks; and really they're splendid And shew great progress since my cousin Bess The rivalry with antient CHESTER ended, And made " creek" LIVERPOOL " a port"—no less. They've even—l say it—very much extended Since JEMMY'S time, when four-and-twenty ves sels was the number of your merchant fleet — None quite so large or swift as some I weet. Looking at these huge Docks and Ships so cheering, And pond'ring what they sprung from, I declare I feel my human feelings strongly veering. The trade in " Niggers" brought in profits rare ! I'd like to have a little privateering, Or a small " venture" on the sly ! But there I'm stopped by black philanthropists. No more Can town or prince grow fat on Afric gore ! COUNTY RATES and EXPENDITURE B'LL, MEETING AT NEWTON YESTERDAY Yesterday (Monday), a meeting of deputations from boards of guardians and other persons interested in the expenditure of county rates, was held in the large room of the Horse and Jockey Inn, Newton-le-Willows. The chair was taken a little after twAve o'clock by Robert Townley Parker, Esq., of Cuerden Hall, near Preston. The meeting was well attended by guardians and other gentlemen from various unions in Lancashire, North Staf fordshire, Suffolk, &c. The following members of Par liament were also present :—William Brown. Esq., M.P. for South Lancashire; Alexander Henry, EQq., M.P., South Lancashire ; James Heywood, Esq., M.P., North Lancashire ; W. H. Barrow, Esq., M.P., South Notts ; J. Wilson Patten. EQq MY., Nort., Lancashire ; James Kershaw, Esq., M.P., Stockport; John Bright, E=q , M.P , Manchester ; Joseph Brotherton, Rai.. M.P., Salford; and J. Pilkington, EQq., M.P. for Blacklurn. Mr. Roberts, the clerk of the Rochdale Union, officiated as secretary. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that the object they had in view might be said to have made some progress, though in another point of view they had not made any progress, inasmuch as they had got a bill which could not be worked No gentleman present would like to take the responsibility of working it. He there fore objected to the bill, and utterly repudiated many of its provisions. He objected to the principle of centraliza tion, which had been introduced into it,—to the Govern ment endeavouring to secure more patronage by it. The Chairman concluded by calling upon Mr. Roberts, the secretary of the committee, to read the circular calling the meeting, and the letters of apology from gentlemen unable to attend. Letters were read from Mr. Greene, M.P., Mr. Armstrong, M.P., Mr. Crawford, M.P., and many gentlemen in various districts, highly approving of the ob jects of the meeting, but regretted their inability to attend. Mr. LIVESEY, of Preston, read the report, for which we regret we have not space. Mr. ROBERTS then briefly recapitulated the proceed ings on the bill before parliament last session, and said that the promoters of the bill had got the worst over, having already gone through two committees, namely, one to hear evidence, and the other to consider the bill. The promoters, however, proposed a new principle in the bill. They proposed that the whole financial hoard be elected by the guardians. As the bill at present stood one half were elected by magistrates, and one half by guardians ; and in those elected by the guardians some magistrates would probably be appointed. They were endeavouring to carry out the representative system fully, and had no doubt it would work well. Wm. HODGSON BARROW, Esq., M.P.,rose to move the first resolution. He said he felt the ull importance of this bill. It was one of the oldest principles of the constitution that the people should. in some sort or other, be represented in the expenditure of their taxes. He agreed with the chairman, that the bill in its present shape could not work well, and considered it a great absurdity that the government should have the power of altering the salaries. The local boards were best able, from their local knowledge, to fix the salaries. No supe rior power should have the right to alter those salaries. The Financial Board should fix the salaries of its officers in the same manner as the House of Commons fixed the salaries of the officers of her Majesty's Government. He was a county magistrate, and he felt no jealousy respecting this movement; on the contrary, he should feel happy to see his fellow-ratepayers represented. He thought that the Board of Guardians should send two members to the financial board—one a magistrate and the other one of themselves. After some remarks on the unneces sary holding of inquests, the hon. member concluded by moving—" That the proceedings of the committee be approved, and that the report which has been read be adopted and printed by the committee." Mr. KERSHAW seconded the resolution, and in doing so made some remarks on the tardy and equivocal conduct of government in the matter. He concluded by exhorting the delegates to persevere, telling them that " their views were founded on right and justice, and must ultimately prevail." The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. JOHN BRIGHT. Esq. M.P. moved the second resolution, which was seconded by Mr. GARNETI, and also carried unanimously, "That the irresponsible power of the magistrates to raise large sums of money, by way of county rate, and ex pend the same uncontrolled by the ratepayers, is a prin ciple so unjust as to require forthwith the interference of the legislature, in order that the ratepayers may obtain some direction over the funds that are expended ; and this meeting, still sensible of the continued pressure of local taxation, of which county expenditure now consti tutes one of the most important items, feels it imperative that renewed and decisive steps should be taken for effect ing a reduction of such expenditure, at the same time pro viding a more economical administration in future." Mr. JAMES HEYWOOD, M.P., moved the re-appoint ment of the committee, and that they be authorised to obtain a good and efficient bill. Mr. JOHNSON. of Wickham Brook, Suffolk, seconded the resolution. Carried unanimously. Mr. LIVESEY, of Preston, moved the fifth resolution— " That the pest thanks of this meeting are hereby pre sented to the Right lion. Thos. M. Gibson, for his kindness in undertaking the management of this question in the House of Commons during the last two sessions ; and he is hereby respectfully requested, in the event of the deputation being unsuccessful with govern ment, to introduce another bill, embodying the sugges tions contained in the committee's repert presented this day; and the committee are hereby authorised to prepare such for Mr. Gibson." Mr. OUSEY seconded the resolution, whicn was carried unanimously. Thanks were voted to Mr. Barrow and the other mem bers of parliament. and also to the chairman, for his very zealous and able support to the movement for effecting a reform of county expenditure. The proceedings then terminated. a good sea•aoing ship, and reflects no ordinary credit on Capt. R. Loper, under whose sucierintendeace she was constructed. She is commanded by Capt. a gentle man with whom we are not acquainted, but whose nautical character is summed up in the words, " He is a sailor and a gentleman." She is consigned here to Messrs. Harnden and Co. I've seen your Storehouses of corn and cotton That rise like batt'ries proudly to the skies; I've seen great bales and bags piled every spot on, And, crowds of speculators with anxious eyes; And, though I fear the trade is forced and rotten, I cannot help expressing my surprise. Ah ! all this wondrous credit, and this cash, May break down some day with an awful crash. I've glanced at all your Churches, and they're various; Handsome without—not always fill'd within. Your congregations are not so gregarious As in some towns, less pious, I've been in. Perchance your faith and doctrine are precarious I'm told so, but know nothing. I'll begin Some day a lecture on this vital point," Will make you, sinners, shake in every joint, I've noted well your flashy thoroughfares, Your LORD•STREET, CHURCH-STREET, BOLD-STEEETJ and the rest — Their plate-glass shop-fronts, and attractive wares; I've ey'd the donzels fluttering in their best ; I've mark'd the Broadway swell, who struts and stares, And all the tribe of Gents profusely drest. But midst this show and dazzle I've been shocked By objects loathsome against which I've knocked. 'Tis dreadful to behold the innocent Group'd with the guilty, even in the street; To see the maiden pure, on pleasure bent, Compell'd the vicious and the foul to meet ; To hear the language of the vilest blent With youth's fond questionings, and accents sweet. At times even I, the not-fastidious Punch, Have sought to hide my blush beneath my hunch. I passed into the bye-lanes Such a sight, This in a Christian land ! Here women, men, And children countless, naked, toil, and fight For the bare life, like wild beasts in a den ; But worse, for wild beasts have both air and light, While these poor creatures crawl about their fen In dirt and darkness. Pah ! my royal nose Can't bear the stench—eyes, ears, and nostrils close! I don't think, when my sister Vie. was here, That she was shewn these realms of shame and woe: The well-drest Mayor, plump Aldermen, the Peer, Were all Exhibited, of course; but no One showed the Queen what I have seen, I fear. Yes, this would have been an instructive show For any monarch to behold. Ah ! wise Sov'reigns, like Punch, see things with their own eyes! Men who've enquired declare that Lancashire Stands first in England for mortality, And that this town of LIVERPOOL counts higher Than any other place even there. And why ? Because here is a mass of muck and mire, And people crowded in it fade and die. 'Tis vain to point to tower, and dome, and hall ; They're grand, but rniery cowers behind them all. I can't help thinking that a little water— And water surely might with ease be had— Would save some victims from the annual slaughter That is recorded in the regions bad Of this great, showy, wealthy, boastful daughter Of British Commerce. Ah ! 'tis very sad To think what hearts, hopes, souls, are killed—what slaves Are born and buried in these living graves. But Punch is moralising. Ha ! ha! Away ! Let's shut our eyes to scenes and thoughts like these. Let's to the MERSEY—on its bosom gay Breathe the refreshing, bracing, sea-borne breeze — Watch the light gambols of the dancing spray. Ah, here's a sight a monarch's eye to please ! Yes, this is LIVERPOOL—this glorious tide, This is its strength, its riches, and its pride. How nobly floats yon matchless LANDING-PIER. Bearing its myriads gently on its back ; Whether the waves roll wild or crouch in fear, Whether 'tis calm serene, or tempest black, The crowds embark and land, from far and near, And forth the ferries hie them o'er their track. From night to morn, from morn to dewy eve, The waters bright those sleepless steamers cleave. And this is BIRKENHEAD, the mushroom city, Sprung into full-blown greatness in a night. Such squares, such streets, such houses! What a pity They should be tenantless and lonely quite ! Their solemn gloom induces a cold fit ; I . . _ Feel as though ghosts were gliding on my sight. This is indeed a city of the dead, Or of inhabitants asleep in bed. A car before a horse is Irish truly ; A town before a people 's not less funny. I don't think those who built these piles unduly, Will reap a harvest from their ill-sown money. The hive is here broad, large, and finished newly, Bat where 're the bees to make the precious honey ? The " slow" old Monks who whilom kept the ferry Grin in their shrouds at all this steam-fast hurry. This place a rival to yon bustling mart ? 'Twill never be so, or I'm much mistaken. Let us return. I'm tired of this dull part. Here is a sight far other thoughts to waken 1 How vast the line of docks and ships—how smart The churches, buildings, look ! from here to Pekin There's not an equal to this active port, Where all the trades of all the world resort. I see you've chosen a Common Council—truly Conservative, respectable, and trusty. I hope the blades you have selected newly, Will keep their edge and polish—not grow rusty. West Derby wisely threw o'er Earle unruly; And Toxteth South cast Hindley mute, not crusty. St. Anne's did well to have no Freme ; your Rads When they get uppermost are fearful lads. Between two doctors it was hard to choose; So if she erred, we must forgive Vauxhall. I'm sorry, though, that she should Hodson lose. But Bradley, Banner, Houghton, Beckwith tall, Stewart, and Royden, Aked—are no " screws," But worthy councillors, and good men all. I see you're to have Albert Smith here—pleasant " feller ! The greatest living Eastern storyteller. I see you've got your concerts—right, quite right. " The man who bath not music in his soul" — You know the rest—'tis very true, though trite. You've had Sims Reeves, too, whose harmonious roll Thrills the rapt bosom with supreme delight. You've got Jack Buckstone, merry old King Cole! You've got the wizards Robins ; I'll be bound Their magic tricks the " natives" will astound. Well, now I think I've ta'en a general glance. Some other day, perhaps, I'll be particular, And state minutely whatsoe'er I chance To note while saunt'ring through your streets reticular. I'll mark down all your sins, and then perchance Will make a full confession, and auricular. And now 'tis time to take my royal lunch. Adieu, good peoplel You're great sovereign, PUNCH. WARRINGTON.

A charge of ne glect was made against Mr. Beckett, relieving-officer, who was ordered to be prepared with an explanatio❑ next week. From the report of receipts and expenditure for the borough for the year ending August 31st, just published. it appears the total receipts are £2893 3s. 31.; the total expenditure £2441 7s. 81, leaving a balance in hand of £451 138. 7d. On Monday last a meeting, convened by the rector, was held at the Public Baths, Church-street, to take into consideration the position of the baths, and to adopt measures for their permanent establishment and support. It appeared that the total expenditure, exclusive of the building, has been £540 18s. 11d., of which £2OO had been raised by mortgage, and £BB 15s. by donations, leaving a balance to be now raised of £252 3s. 11d., in addition to the mortgage. On payment of this sum, the rector was willing to pass over the baths to any body or trustees to be appointed by the subscribers. Ultimately a committee was appointed, to solicit subscriptions to liquidate the amount, and the meeting was adjourned to such day as the committee may appoint. LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY.

We have from time to time noticed the efforts which are being made by the American merchants for the esta blishment of fleets of screw steamers from the principal Atlantic ports ; efforts that bid fair to secure the great mass of the carrying trade between the two countries, and facilitate our commercial communications. The opening of a line of a railway from Boston to Canada gave rise to the " laying down" four large screw steamers, and one of which, the S. S. Lewis, is now in this port. She is not the first American screw vessel that has arrived here, but she is the first that has been built expressly for transatlantic voyaging, and is consequently an object of some attraction to those interested in maritime matters. The S. S. Lewis is a very beautiful model, and though she is particularly fine fore and aft, she has more bearings then has of late been given to some of this class of craft. This is by no means a detriment, as it will give her increased steadiness, enable her to carry a greater amount of canvas in case of any accident occurring to her propellor. Her lines are neatly moulded, and her appear ance is most imposing. She has an almost upright stem, and her bow well formed swells boldly outwards at the upper works. She has a clean run, and her stern, which is square, is light and beautiful. A gilded spread-eagle ornaments her counter, whilethebowhas carved and gilded billet-head, the ornaments of which are continued along the trail-boards and around the hawse-holes. The lower moulding of her plank-sheer is gilded throughout her en tire length, and with this exception the hull is painted black down to her copper line, which comes up to eighteen feet forward and nineteen feet aft. This fine ship is over all 225 feet long ; she has a beam of 33 feet, and a depth of hold of 28 feet, measured from the main deck; she is 1850 tons burthen, and has accommodation for upwards of 100 first-class, and about an equal number of second class passengers. The Samuel S. Lewis is as strong as a castle ; her frame is entirely of white and live oak ; her floor timbers are packed so close from 'mid-ship aft] as to form almost a solid bed. The hanging and lodging and all other knees are very heavy, of great depth in the throat, and side well. The frame is bound together with diagonal iron braces, each 66 feet long, 5 inches wide, and 1 inch thick ; these braces, which cross one another, are let into the timbers, bolted through them and rivited on the outside, and at every intersection are bolted together. In iron fastenings alone, exclusive of the frame braces, she has 125,000 lbs., besides 10,009 lbs. of copper and 5,000 lbs. of composition. Below the main deck 12,000 bolts have been driven from the outside, through all, and rivetted on the inside. The number of knees used in her construction is 848. She has on deck a house 190 feet in length, the top of which forms a spacious promenade for her passengers, the sides being protected by a tasty brass railing. The after division extends across the deck, and contains the wheel house. On either side of the house there is a gangway of 71 feet wide. The house contains a smoking-room, panelled in satin wood, state rooms for the officers and engineers of the ship, captain's cabin, hatch ways leading to the cabins and engine-room; and forward of the cabin entrance, which is well protected, and may be entered either from the larboard or starboard side, are the officers' mess-room, the galley, which is large and commodious, the bakery, ice-house, and other apartments. The cabin saloon is of immense length, and is lighted from cupolas, through the deck house, and by stern lights. The state rooms run the full length on each side, and are each separately lighted and ventilated. The deck beams and carlings 'divide the " roof" into pannels, which are heightened in effect by mouldings. The partitioning forming the saloon is divided by pities ters, intervened with numerous " relieves" of plain orna ments, and contrasts of gold-tipped embossed composition designs. The contrast between the white and gold, aided by the splendid green upholstery, the handsome furniture, and the general taste displayed, produce an effect not easily described. The saloon is at once neat, and, without gaudy pretensions, classically beautiful. Forward of the cabin entrance is an aperture, admitting to the engine room. This apartment is ventilated by two large tubes, with wind cowl heads, which, by a neat contrivance, suit as tubes to convey up the refuse of the fuel from the fire room. We may here, by the bye, mention that the coals are got on board by shoots, shutting by ports, so that no fuel has to be carried on deck, and all dust and annoyance is obviated: The engines and accompanying machinery have been constructed at the Franklin Iron Works. The cylinders are placed at angles of about 45 deg., and are 60 inches diameter, and 40 inches stroke. They act on a driving wheel eight feet in diameter, geered to the shaft, and increase the speed of the propeller from one to one-and three quarter turns at each stroke. The propeller is 14 feet in diameter, and has four , blades. The S. S. Lewis is but rightly sparred, for her beam, but her masts are so far apart that she will be able to asprooeaudnt aloft is tooagoodamoutnria lowtivofi to careen forenhde-r.aft c anvas, but the The 8..8.
