Marriages :—These, for the quarter ending June 30, 1851, were 38,498. being less by 520 than the number in the corresponding quarter of 1850. The proportionate returns of different parts of the country vary considerably. It is remarked, that there is generally an excess where cholera was most fatal in 1849. The marriages in Cheshire and Lancashire de creased. The decrease was considerable in Liverpool, and greater still in Manchester. Births:—The number of births registered for the quarter ending September 30 were 150,584. This is the greatest number ever registered in this season. Deaths:—The number registered was 91,600, which, deducted from the deaths, leaves an excess of 58,984 in the population. Emigration:-85,603 emigrants left the ports of the United Kingdom, at which there are emigration officers, in the quarter ending September 30. This is at the rate of 930 a-day, 13,963 were from Irish and 67,262 from English ports, the largest number (54,401) being from Liverpool. The emigration this year has hitherto being greater than in the year 1850.—Tn Man chester the decrease of deaths is considerable. Diarrhoea prevailed in many districts. The registrars mention seven cases of cholera in Liverpool, two in Toxteth-park, two in Wigan, seven in Warrington, and three in Little Bolton. In Hulme, Chorlton, forty children and eight adults died without medical assistance. The registrar of Market street, Manchester, says,—" The improved health and, it may be added, temper of the people of the district, may assuredly be ascribed to the cheapness of provisions, which are not only abundant but also of better quality, because the temptation to adulterate food is not so great." ST. JUDE'S SCHOOLS.—On Friday afternoon the foun dation stone of new schools, in connection with St. Jude's Church, which are to be erected at Low-hill, on the site of the old West Derby Workhouse, was laid by Dr. M'Neile. Amongst those present were the Revs. W. Pollock, J. B. Lowe, Jones, Butler, Duck, Wallace ' So. ; and Messrs. Charles Cotesworth, Joseph Hubback. G. rider, Thomas Milner Byford, George Sanders, Richard Sanders, and several other influential members of St. Jude's congregation. The school children, accompanied by their teachers, and with their banners waving, were also present. After an appropriate prayer had been offered up by the Rev. J. B. Lowe, incumbent of St. Jude's, a hymn was sung. The rev. gentleman then entered into a brief statement in connection with the schools attached to St. Jude's Church, remarking that of late the population of the district had very much increased, and now numbers 8,000. Their present schools were totally insufficient to accommodate the scholars ; but they had at last, after many discouragements, not only raised nearly £lO,OOO, but they had procured a site on most advantageous terms. The rev. gentleman alluded to the efforts of Dr. M'Neile in the cause of scriptural education, expressing the plea sure with which he met him there on such an occasion. He then, in place of a silver trowel, handed to the doctor an elegantly hound copy of the Bible, in the Hebrew, Greek, and English languages. Dr. M'Neile congratu lated the meeting on the cause which had drawn them together that day, and, with his usual powerful elo quence, dwelt upon the advantages and necessity of a scriptural education, which should make the kno - Wledge of God paramount to all other knowledge. At the con clusion of his remarks, Dr. M'Neile laid the foundation stone in the usual manner, and, after the hymn had been sung, the crowd dispersed. The schools are to be crected . by designs from Mr. C. Sherlock, architect, and will be calculated to accommodate about 700 children. DISTRESSING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening an accident of a very serious nature happened to Mr. Thomas Castle, the respected lessee of the George Hotel, in Dale-street. About half-past five o'clock, Mr. Castle, in company with Mr. Henderson. of the Feathers Hotel, in Clayton-square, was riding along the Bootle road, near the Victoria Cottage, when they became aware of a gig coming sit furious speed in the opposite direction. Mr. Castle attempted to get out of the way of the gig, but before he could do so the shaft of it struck him on the leg, carrying away a portion of the calf and throwing him from the horse. The gig drove off, the driver takin ,, no notice of the accident. Mr. Henderson immediately 'dis mounted, and finding that no one was within call, and that Mr. Castle was bleeding profusely, he thought the best thing he could do would be to eet a car to convey him to Liverpool. He immediately did so, but the car, in the dark, missed Mr. Castle, who was, however, found by a countryman driving a cart, who conveyed him to town, where medical advice Was immediately procured. The efforts of the medical men, however, were unavailing, and Mr. Castle breathed his last at an early hour on Thursday morning, from the loss of blood which he suffered, It RoPec:i-s that the gentleman who drove the gig which carne into collision with Mr. Castles was Mr. M'Cormack, ship chandler, of Bootle-road, who stated that the night the accident happened was very stormy and wet, and that the wind and rain were in his face all the time he was driving. He was not aware that he had injured Mr. Castles till he read of the accident in the newspaper, and the reason he did not stop was that his man told him no ane was hurt, and his daughter, who was wet through, urged him to proceed. On Friday an inquest was held on the body of Mr. Castles, when several witnesses were examined, who detailed the particulars of the accident, after which the jury returned a verdict of " accidental death," qUalifying it with a remark that Mr. M'Cormack bad not manifested as much care in driving as lie ought to have done. It is only just to state that, after hearing the evidence in the melancholy case alluded to, the coroner remarked that no moral blame could be attached to Mr. M'Cormack, and we are sure that those who know that gentleman's kindly manner, would not for one instant doubt that it was one of those unfortunate calamities which it seems no mortal precaution can avert. BANKRUPTCY COURT.—In Re Joseph 21r2ificrrav : This bankrupt appeared on Thursday, before Mr. missioner Stevenson, on an application for his certificate. He was opposed by Mr. J. Yates, jun., and supported by Mr. Bretherton. The chief points urged against the bankrupt were—that he made a fraudulent preference in New York—that he came over to England on the eve of bankruptcy, and appropriated a large sum of money which he bad not accounted for—that he made a fraudu lent preference in favour of his nephew, Joseph M'Murray —that he received moneys and appropriated them after filing his petition in bankruptcy, he having then no claim on the estate—and that, since the last examination, he had tried to obtain possession of a large sum of money which was due to him. His honour further adjourned the case to allow time for the production of some letters, which, it was alleged, would afford information relative to the bankrupt's affairs.—Re Sidney Sherlock : The bank rupt came up, on Friday, for choice of assignees. Mr. Simon appeared for Messrs. Allsop, brewers, of Burton on-Trent and of Liverpool, who were large creditors in the case ; and Mr. J. Yates, jun., and Mr. Dearden, solicitor, of Manchester, appeared for Mr. William Woolfall, bottle merchant, of Manchester, a creditor to the amount of £l,lOO. It appeared that the bankrupt, on the 14th October, 1850, had executed a deed of assign. ment, by which he assigned over to Allsop and Sons all his stock-in-trade, stores, and other property in his warehouses in Liverpool and Birkenhead, and all his farming stock, implements, &c., at Halewood—he being at that time indebted to them in the amount of £3,048 for goods supplied and money lent. The deed of assign ment empowered these creditors to sell to the amount of £5,000 if their debt was not paid by a certain day in the year 1852. Mr. Dearden contended that the assignment was a fraudulent one, as it, in fact, transferred the whole of the bankrupt's effects over to one particular creditor. Mr. Simon argued the case at length, to show that on the face of the assignment it did not appear the whole of the bankrupt's effects were transferred to Messrs. Allsop; and that, in covenanting with the bankrupt, these cre ditors were actuated by the best motives, viz., to enable him to carry on his business ; for the covenant was pros pective, and was merely a surety on past and future advances. The Commissioner was of opinion that the point for consideration was, whether the execution of the deed amounted to an act of bankruptcy or not ; and that would depend on the fact of the transfer applying to the whole of the bankrupt's property or not ; for, though the deed comprised all the property in Liverpool, Birkenhead, and Halewood, there might be effects somewhere else. With a view to arrive at this fact, Mr. Dearden put several questions to the bankrnpt, whose answers were to the following purport :—That in October, 1850, he carried on business in King-street, Liverpool, having an interest also in a business at Birkenhead. He resided at Halewood, where he was engaged in farming pursuits. He had no other place of business than those named in the deed ; but he had goods abroad. In answer to Mr. Simon, the bankrupt stated that he had also, exclusive of the pro perty enumerated in the assignment, furniture, plate, a policy of insurance on his own life, anotheron the life of his wife, as well as a reversionary interest in a will. In answer to a question by the Commissioner, he stated that, at the time the assignment was made, he had shown Messrs. Allsop that he had property in bonded ware houses, exclusive of that in his own, to the amount of £3,000 or £4,000, as well as the private effects above named. He also assured them he was solvent (though he had his doubts of such being the fact). Messrs. Allsop had advanced as much as £4,000 subsequently to the assignment being made. The substance of the bankrupt's evidence went to show that it was in consequence of the false statements which he had made that Messrs. Allsop had advanced the large sums which they did. In answer to further questions, Mr. Sherlock admitted that his fur niture, farming stock, &c., at Halewood, had been mort gaged for £750 to Messrs. Barton and Robinson, previously to its being included in the assignment to Messrs. Allsop. The stock in the bonded warehouses, he admitted, had also been mortgaged to the extent of two thirds of its value. Mr. Simon again addressed the court, with a vi,sw to show that the whole of the bank rupt's effects were not embraced in the deed ; and defended his clients from the suspicion that their object was any other than honourable. They had received the bankrupt's assurance of his solvency, and also had proof of his possession of property to a considerable amount, exclusive of that embraced in the deed, before they con sented to assist the bankrupt further. The Commissioner pointed to the fact that Messrs. Allsop possessing a power under the deed by which, at a single day's notice, they could have taken possession of certain effects of the bankrupt, of course to the detriment of other creditors. Mr. Dearden, with a view of showing that all the property possessed by the bankrupt was included in the deed, observed that the stock in bond, referred to as exclusive, was in fact Sherlock's prop er ty, an d therefore embraced in the general descripti on . Th e C omm i ss i oner , in sum ming up, addressed himself t o th e po i n t s o f th e ca se : he said tne whole of the bankrupt's property did not appear to have been included in the deed, which, moreover, pointing to future transactions, could not be considered as being drawn up in contemplation of bankruptcy, which ,would have constituted it a fraudulent act ; it was not, therefore, an act of bankruptcy. By this decision Messrs. Allsop and Sons will be able to prove for the sums a i x (1 sullecquent to the signing of the deed. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. • The municipal election took place on Saturday last, and was attended with very little excitement. The weather was most unpropitious, it having rained almost incessantly throughout the day. There were opposing candidates in eight of the wards; but in one, St. Paul's, the retiring councillor, Mr. Briscoe, withdrew, and yielded the field to his adversary, who was escorted to the Town-hall by a band of music. The new members are Messrs. Bradley, M'Guffie, Banner, Houghton, Royden, and Stewart ; the rejected, Messrs. Hodson, Briscoe, Clarke, Freme. Fisher, and Hindley. In all the wards where opposition occurred the successful candidates took the lead early in the morn ing, and kept it throughout the day. In North Toxteth the friends'of Mr. W. Fisher confidently assert that Mr. Royden, the successful candidate, is disqualified by his residence not being within the boundary of the borough. Mr. Royden resides at Kirby. It is stated that a protest to this effect has been sent in, signed by twelve burgesses.

Howard read a lengthened paper on " pre-Rlphaelitism," in which he forcibly condemned the works of that new school. A discussion ensued, during which Mr. M'Bride maintained that the " pre.Raphaelite" school, although imbued with many defects, had in its principles much to admire. After a few observations from Mr. Huggins and the chairman (Mr. Picton) the further discussion on the subject was adjourned.

SELECT VESTRY.—The fortnightly meeting was held on Tuesday, at the Parish-offices. The Rev. Rector Campbell presided. The Vestry-clerk announced that Mr. Johnson had resigned his seat at the board, and Mr. Gardner gave notice that, at the next meeting, he should move the appointment of a gentleman to fill up the vacancy. The report of the Workhouse Committee showed that there were 662 sick cases in the Workhouse, 99 being of fever, and 69 of itch. The admission to the vagrant sheds during the past week had been 773; of these 463 being males, 198 females, and 72 children. The total number of persons in the Worknnuse on the 22nd of Oct. was stated to be 2.007, against 1.752 in the corresponding week of last year.—lt appeared that some blankets fur nished by Mr. Johns, as contractor, were deficient in weight. and he had offered to give a few pairs over; but Mr. Willmer moved that the whole of the light ones should he returned. The motion, however, was lost by a majority of 12 to 6.—A long and somewhat personal dis cussion followed in reference to the appointment of Mr. Heathcote as assistant-governor ; and Mr. Hughes moved a vote of censure on Mr. Willmer for having, in his indi vidual capacity, written to the Poor-law Board, requesting their interference in the matter. This was withdrawn, however, and a communication from the vestry-clerk, detailing all the circumstances of the case. ordered to he sent up.—The board then adjourned.

The Sub-committee of 'Works, after recon sidering the subject of the gates to the King's and Queen's basin, again recommended that two pairs of gates ahould he placed at the river entrance, one 70 feet wide, and the other 50 feet wide, at an estimated cost of £75,000. By this plan 41 acres of additional dock space would be ob tained. The recommendation was confirmed.—The origi nal plan for the new dock at Wapping, with entrance gates fifty feet wide, was confirmed.—The Sub-committee of Works recommended that warehouses should be placed on the east side of the dock at Wapping. A long discus sion ensued, in the course of which Mr. Evans proposed that warehouses be built on the site of the Wapping dock, but that the works be not proceeded with further than the foundation until the warehouses were erected on the Stanley Dock, of which, the Dock Surveyor be directed to prepare plans. On this proposal the committee divided, when only Messrs. Evans, Barbour, and Tobin voted for Mr. Evans's amendment, which was consequently lost. Mr. l3igham then proposed that the further consideration of this subject should he postponed for three weeks ; the surveyor, in the meantime, to furnish plans and estimates of the warehouses on the Stanley and Wapping Docks. This was agreed to, there being only five dissentients. — Several other matters of minor importance afterwards engaged the attention of the committee. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. ♦ MR. ALBERT SMITH.—This gentleman will give entertainments at tho Philharmonic-hall, to-morrow, Thursday, and Friday next. THE LIVERPOOL FESTIVAL CHORAL SOCIETY give their fifty-second performance at the Music-hall, on this (Tuesday) evening, when the oratorio of " Isaiah" will be produced. _ _ LIVERPOOL MUSICAL UNION.—The second of Mr. Haddock's delightful reunions will take place in Mr. Elliston's rooms, Nelson-street, Great George-square, on Monday evening next. TURA' TRE It(3YAL. - M. Robin's performances at this place of amusement were brought to a sudden standstill, on Tuesday evening, by the indisposition of Madame Robin, and in consequence of the small amount of buFi. ness doing, attributable, no doubt, to the large audiences attracted to the Amphitheatre to see Mrs. Fitzwilliam and Mr. Buckstone, they have not since been resumed. We hope, however, that before long they will pay us another visit, when our friends must not lose the opportunity of witnessing their wonderful and most extraordinary accomplishments. MISS CATHERINE HAYES.—This talented lady is pro gressing with little less popularity than Jenny Lind. She has arrived in Boston. A New York paper of the 14th says :—" Catherine Hayes has now been fairly tested in every style of musical art ; and coming, as she does, after ono of the most popular vocalists that ever lived, her success is enhanced, and her genius is stamped as of the very highest order. There can be no better proof of her merits than the fact that the enthusiasm increased night after night as the concerts proceeded, and the last was marked with greater excitement than the first. The receipts on Saturday evening exceeded 5000 dollars. It is curious that whilst some have preferred her in English ballads, others have been better pleased with her songs from the Italian opera; while both maintain that she stands A No. 1 in the department in which they best like to hear her. There can be no higher tribute than this to the versatility of her genius, and the finished cultivation of the wonderful organ with which nature has gifted her. For our own part, we find it impossible to determine where from wha e have witness, She is powerful in all ; but ed of her singing, as well as who have heard her in opera, from the judgment of thos we incline to the opinion that, great as she is in the con cert-room, she is far greater on the stage, and that the full extent of Miss Hayes's powers has not yet been realised." audiences ROY AL AMPHITHEATRE.--The crowded which have nightly assembled at the Amphitheatre . the last week or two, to witness the performances of IN., Filzwilliam and Mr. Buckstone, tend more to remind us of what was wont to take place when the dram, days," than of the meagre support wh, .ars been accorded to theatrical entertains. ,own.

Those of the defendants who attended were fined I s. and costs. Upon those who did not attend a penalty of 2s. 6d. and costs was inflicted. AN INCORRIGIBLE DRITNKARD.-011 Wednesday, an old Irishwoman named Martha Fearon, who, during her residence in this town, has been a large recipient of parish relief, was brought up for being drunk and disorderly at the Parish-office. The bridewell-keeper stated that she had been brought before the court upwards of a hundred times. On promising amend ment, and receiving from a parish official a character fur in dustry and quietness when sober, she was discharged. PUBLICAS' CASES—On Friday, J. Staines, publkan, Gilbert street, was fined 10s. and 4s. 6d. costs, for selling liquor at im properhours.—H. Williams, publican, Clayton-street, fined 10s. and costs.—James Shepherd, beerseller, Highfield-street, fined 10s. and costs.—Mary Mason, beerseller, Hill-street, Park, fined 10s. and costs.—Rowland Hughes, beerseller, Circus street, fined 108. and costs. EMBEZZLEMENT OF WATER RATES.—OR Friday, R. Jones, a collector of water rates under the Corporation, (who had been remanded from Sal urday week), was ag ain brought up. On the previous examination he was charge d with receiving various sums of money and not accounti.g for the same. It was proved that in October, 1848, the prisoner had received two stuns, amounting to £ 45 16s. Bsl., from Messrs. Littledale, on account of water rates, which had not been accounted for. He was committed for trial. Em BEZZLLM ENT—On Friday, J. Liddington , (who had been re manded), was again brought up, charged with embezzling seve ral sums of money belonging to the executors of the late James Whalley, coal merchant. The prisoner was employed as solicitor and collector, and had been discharged front his em ployment in July last, since which time a number of defalca tions against him had been discovered. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had been misled by his employer, having been engaged for 15s a-week, and a commission likewise, which he considered would have amounted to a-week, during the three months of his servitude ; and this would be about the amount of what he had embezzled. This was denied, as 15s. a-week was the amount for which he was employed. He was committed for trial. STEAM-BOAT COLLISION ON THE RIVER.-011 Tuesday, Mr. Shackleton appeared for the owners of the steamer Defiance, to claim damages to the amount of 4 , 18 6s. 6d. for injuries received by that vessel in consequence of the Woodside steamer Queen running into her whilst lying at anchor oppo site the Canning Dock entrance on the morning of the 13th September last. Mr. Conway appeared to conduct the case for the defence. From a multiplicity of conflicting evidence It appeared that a dense fog prevailed on the morning in question, and, notwithstanding the greatest precaution was taken o n board the Queen, sh struck the Defiance on the starboard paddle-box, breaking the staunchion and shores, and causing damage to the above amount. Mr. Conway objected to the evidence, as his clients had offered to make a survey, which was declined by the complainants. Witnesses on board the Queen at the time of the col ision were called, who stated that the fog-bell was rung almost continually, whilst that on board the Defiance was capped, and confined the sound. The magis trate was of opinion that every due precaution had been used on board the Queen ; but, as to the evidence regarding the ringing of the bell on board of the Defiance, there seemed to be a question as to whether the crew had kept so good a look-out. Whether there was a bye-law or not to compel parties on board vessels lying at anchor to ring their bells, he apprehended that in foggy weather they ought to do so for their safety, as well as to warn other vessels approaching. The summons was there fore dismissed. On Tuesday two butchers in St. John's Market were fined for exposing unwholesome meat. The offenders were Sarah Isher. wood and John Thomas. On Tuesday, Jane Kelly was charged with striping a child, named Mary Williams, about five years old, in Hope-street, of a shawl and its shoes. Sent for trial. MANCHESTER TOWN CouNcii..—The elections for Manchester passed over with but little excitement. The only contests were in St. George's Ward, where Mr. Thomas Greig, spinner, was returned, defeating Mr. W. D. Fullalove, auctioneer; and in Medlock Ward, where Mr. Michael Angelo Bell, builder, defeated Mr. Redfern. The following were elected new members of the:Council without contests :—Mr. J. W. Bennett, for Ardwick Ward ; Mr. Philip Lucas, for Cheetham ; Mr. Hugh Shaw, for New Cross ; Mr. Thomas Worthington, for St. Michael's; Mr, James Woolley, chemist, for Exchange; and Mr. M. Brougham, builder, for Oxford Ward. It is expected that Mr. Robert Barnes, spinner, will be the new Mayor. BISHOPRIC OF SIERRA LEONE.—In our advertising columns will be found an appeal on behalf of the fund now being raised for establishing a bishopric in Sierra Leone. In this colony a fearful amount of heathenism prevails, —yet, by the exertions of the Church Missionary Society, the number of persons at present attending pub lic worship, in connection with the Church of England, exceeds 10,000—of whom 2,000 are regular communicants ; and there are upwards of 6,000 children receiving instruc tion in the church schools. Many of the native teachers are eligible for, and desirous of, episcopal ordination— but this, as well as the rite of confirmation and the gene ral pastoral superintendence of the native ministry, re. quires the presence of a bishop. We trust Liverpool will do her duty in this matter, and that many others of our townsmen will follow the example of those gentlemen whose names are mentioned as contributors to the fund. REV. S. MINTON'S LECTURE.—On Tuesday evening, the Rev. S. Minton delivered a lecture at the Concert hall, in answer to the Rev. Mr. Noble, the Roman Ca tholic priest, on the doctrine of Intention. The Rev. Dr. M`Neile presided, and opened the proceedings with prayer, after which he briefly addressed the audience in a humorous speech, showing that Roman Catholic priests generally, and Mr. Noble particularly, had thought discretion to be the better part of valour. He compared the officers of that great general of Antichrist, the Pope, in this country, to something like cowards, in exhibiting so great a disposition to run away when they had a chance of coming forward to meet such men as Mr. Minton, and thereby prove the excellence of their doctrines, sup. posing such doctrines to be really defensible. He then called upon the Rev. Mr. Minton, who delivered an elo. quent address upon the subject of " Intention," as held in the Romish Church. PRESENTATION OF THE MANCHESTER ROYAL STATE CHAIRS TO THE QUEEN, BY SIR JOHN POTTER.—A few days ago, Sir John Potter, from a feeling that her majesty would perhaps like to possess some slight memorial of her visit to Manchester, respectfully offered, through Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, to her majesty's acceptance, the three chairs of state, which were placed upon the throne in the Exchange, for the use of the Queen, Prince Albert. and the Prince of Wales. On Friday, Sir John Potter received a letter from the Hon. Colonel Grey, conveying to the mayor her majesty's best thanks for his obliging offer, and signifying that her majesty had been pleased most graciously to accept the state chairs. After having, in past years, adorned the palace of the proud Doges of Venice. and lent a temporary grace to the fallen glories of ducal Stowe, these chairs, in their now regal attire, are destined to still higher honours, and will henceforth find , a fitting place within the castled towers of Windsor, or the metropolitan residence of the sovereign, lionkinghem Palace.—Manchester Guardian, TOWN COUNCIL A special meeting of the Town Council, for winding up the affairs of the municipal year, was held on Wednesday, Sir J. Bent, mayor, in the chair. THE JUDGE OF THE COUNTY COURT At the request of Mr. Samuel liolme. a memorial from the burgesses and ratepayers of Liverpool was read, urging the Council to defray the cost of the proceedings against Mr. Ramshay. Mr. Samuel Holme supported the prayer of the memorial in a speech of great length. It was seconded by Mr. Avison, but opposed warmly by Mr. J. Bramley-Moore. The Town-Clerk was asked whether the Corporation could legally expend a portion of the surplus fund for this purpose. He replied that he did not think they were warranted in doing so, and read the opinion of Mr. Crompton upon the quPstion, which coincided with his own. The original memorial to Lord Carlisle, upon which the present was in some degree founded, was then read, and a lengthy debate ensued on the motion of Mr. S. Holme. Ultimately, however, it was resolved, " That, in the opinion of this Council, the circumstances which have taken place in relation to the proceedings of the judge of the county court, arc such as to call for an inquiry before the proper authorities ; but this Council having been advised t. ,ney cannot legally spend the corporate funds in the prosecution of such an inquiry, regret that they cannot comply with the prayer of the memorial." --- The proceedings of the Finance, Watch, and Improve ment Committees were then read and :!onfirmed. The Law Courts and St. George's-hall Committee recommended that a contract be entered into with Mr Henry Willis for the construction and erec an lan and organ for St. George's hall according to the sp ec ifi c ation submitted, for the sum of £6,250, exclusive of case. It was recommended also that the organ be placed at the end, instead of at the side of the building. The proceedings were confirmed after some discussion, as were those of the Markets and Education Committees. The Health Committee's minutes comprised—a recom mendation that the Town-Clerk be authorised to give the usual parliamentary notices for an amended sanatory act, and to adopt all other proceedings necessary for the standing orders of parliament, and additional regulations respecting lodging-houses. On the motion of Mr. Parker, the proceedings were passed. The Water and Church Expenditure Committees' minutes were then approved, and also those of the Observatory Committee. _ _ _ The appointment of Mr. John Stewart Dalton to the situation of public librarian was confirmed. His salary will be £l5O per annum. The report of the general committee of the whole Council, appointed to make the arrangements for the Royal visit, was passed without readinr. Mr. PICTON made a proposition to the effect, that some permanent memorial should be erected in commemoration of the visit. He pointed out the two pedestals at the southern front as suitable for equestrian statues of the Queen and Prince Albert. A somewhat heated discussion took place between Mr. Bramley-Moore and Mr. Chalmer on the subject of the ball tickets. _ _ The report of the Paid Officers' Committee was re ceived, but the discussion of it postponed ; and the pro. ceedings terminated by a vote of thanks to the Mayor, to which his worship gracefully and with someemotion replied. KIRKDALE SESSIONS.—These sessions commenced on Tuesday, at the Court-house, Kirkdale, before a full bench of magistrates. The chair was taken by the Rev. Archdeacon Brooks. Mr. Benjamin Heywood Jones took the oaths, and qualified as as magistrate for the county. The bench then proceeded to the ordinary business by receiving the reports of their various officers for the past quarter. The governor's report was consi dered favourable, as recording a less number of persons in custody than usual. The chaplain's report was ordered to be printed. From the chief constable's report it appeared there was a total of 507 officers, being eleven short of the permanent strength of the force. The great number of resignations arose from persons joining the force who found the duties harder than they expected. The total number of persons arrested during the quarter amounted to 2,733, of whom 237 had been sent for trial, 1,651 summarily convicted, 191 bailed, and 686 discharged. The police had issued 2,062 summonses, of which 1,893 had resulted in summary convictions. 'The summonses issued by the parish authorities, common informers, and others, amounted to 4,563, of which 3,262 had been sum marily convicted, and the rest discharged. The surgeon's report stated that the gaol was healthy. There had only been six deaths in the last twelve months, amongst which was that of a negro. Very few negroes could live in that gaol fora long period, twelve months' imprison. ment being equivalent to a death sentence. A license for the ilaydock Lodge Asylum was refused. The Walton Asylum, under the care of Drs. Lichfield and Fernley, had its license renewed. A motion was made to recom mend an increase in the salary of Mr. Stevenson, the inspector of weights and measures, from £63 to £9O per annum, at the annual sessions. This was agreed to with one dissentient. The trials commenced on Wednesday morning, before the 'den. Archdeacon Brooks. The calendar contained fifty-two cases for felony, and two misdemeanants, The oft%mces were almost all of a trivial character.

We may again remind our musical readers of the forthcoming performance of Mendels sohn's "St. Paul." In the pressure of winter amuse ments this oratorio should not he overlooked, the more especially as Miss Birch, Miss Williams, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Phillips are announced for it. PHILHARMONIC BALL.—The ball of the Philharmonic Society will take place on the 20th instant. We under stand the assembly will be an unusually brilliant one, and that the Countess of Sefton, with a large party of friends, will be present. THE IRON WAn•STEAMER PRUTIFI.—This vessel, built for the Russian Government by Mr. Laird, and fitted with engines by Messrs. George Forrester and Co., arrived at Odessa at the end of September, after an excellent passage, during which she experienced some very bad weather, but maintained throughout the high character she had obtained for speed and general sea-going qualities on her various trials here. _ THE PACKET-SHIP PARLIAMENT.—The fine ship Parliament, Captain Sampson, (one of Train and Co.'s line of Boston and Liverpool packets,) arrived in the Mersey on Saturday morhing, with twenty-one passen gers in the cabin, twenty-six in the second cabin, and twenty-six in the steerage.

The passengers held a meeting on board, and unanimously adopted the following reso lutions:—" 1. That we have been exceedingly gratified with the seamanship and constant vigilance of our re spected captain during our late voyage. 2. That his gentlemanly conduct throughout the whole passage, in fair weather and foul, his kind attention to our comfort and happiness, have elicited from us our heartfelt and sincere esteem, gratitude, and remembrance. 3.
