SELECT VESTRY The fortnightly meeting of the Select Vestry was held in the Board Room, Workhouse, at 10 o'clock yesterday, Mr. Churchwarden Wood, u 1 presided, and the other members present were Messrs 0 , ren, Whitby, Mellor, Chesney, Smith, Hughes, Whi:ty, Critchley, Gibson, Bahsto Jr, Williams, Denton, Cook, Richardson, J. Junes, Syers, and Jackson. WhIIKFIOUSE COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee were read. It appea-ed that the number of inmates in the workhouse on the 30th ult., was 2.083 ; the sick ewes on the same date were 545, including 44 fever and 17 itch cases ; the number of vegrants relieved up to the same date was 201 men, 130 women, and 51 children. The minutes, not containing anything of importance, were confirmed. INDU,TRTAL SCIIOIL'S COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this Committee contained the the fallowing: Read, applications from the commandirg officers of the 2ed Battalion 60_h R His, and the 2ed Battalion 3rd Foot, for boys from the schools as musicians, and several cf the boys on being called before the Com mittee, expressing themselves desirous to enlist, it was reeolvcd that the present applications be acceded to. The proceedings were confirmed. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee contained the fel lowing curry : —The sub-committee, consisting of the churchwardens and overseers, together with Mr. Denton an i Mr. Jackson, who were appointed by the Finance Committee, on the 25th of September, to enquire and report as to certai n s t a t ements reporte d in the newspapers, which have been made before the magistrates, respecting the con duct of Mr. Hughes, the outdoor inspector, report —That, in an inves igatton into the truth of the statements, and which lasted nearly six hours, Mr. Hughes being present, they examined the witnea es, some of whcm had been put f ,rward by himself, and after a careful consideration of the evidence adduced in its bearing and effect upon the character and efficiency of the officer, and the evidence belt g such as to des . roy the confidence in him which the Board should be free to feel towards all its officers especially towards one holding his position, they recommend that the services of Mr. Hughes, as an officer of the Board, should be brought to a termination. At this stage of the pre coed ings, a letter from Mr. Hughes was p resen t e d an d rea d , tendering h;s reeignat;on as outdoor inspector, to take effect np on the 25th of December, and it was resolved that the resignation be accepted. The proceedings also contained a report from the Vestry Clerk, upon the claims of the parish clerks to certain fees. The Clerk's report stated that the parish clerk's right to officiate at Walton Cemetery was consequent upon the right cf the Rector to do so. Ihs duties must be per formed, if not in person, by some duly appointed deputy. The fees had been declared by Dr. Twiss, to 'be what was called the new table of fees, applicable to the cemetery. According to the new table, the rector was entitled to 2s. 64 , and the parish clerk to ls. far each interment. The rector, under a compromise with the Vestry, received le., the sum allowed under the old table of St. Mertin's Ceme• tery ; and the parish clerks, under a I,ke arrangement, now claimed. 6.1 if this arrangement were accepted, the Clerk concei• ed that it would deprive the parish clerks of the right to a higher fee. It was agreed by the committee that the account presented by the parish clerks, amounting - to .f.:43 16s. 61., be passed for pa3ment, subject to re payment by them if the amount were disallowed by the auditors. The recommendations of the committee were confirmed. THE RECENT DANCING ROOMS PROSECUTION. Mr. WIIITTY asked how it happened ttat the expenses cf suppressing a nuisance, caused by a dancing saloon in Lime -street, were charged upon the poor's rate of the parish. If that were to form a precedent, and they were to look forward to the expenses of suppressing every such nuisance becoming cha-geable upon the parish rates, it would be a very Serious consideration. Tae CIIAIRMAN said that wes a very important question. If the authorities were resolved to proceed to the fullest extent in putting down such horses, and if it would come upon the parish to provide means out cf the ported rate, the question would become a very serious one. He be lieved it was under an old act of parliament that the ehurchwardens and overseers were called upon either to prosecute themselves or to find the money. He believed that in this instance, the informers, Messrs. Radley and Caine, had teiguified their intention not to receive the penalty to which they were emtieled,which would go towards the liquidation of the expenses. Mr. Witte PY thought the content of the churchwardens and overseers ought to have been obtained as to the course to be pursued. The CHAIRMAN said they were applied to in the first in stance, but it was thought better to leave the matter in the hands of the chief. constable. Mr. Wntrry said there was no information to the Vestry, nor did the Finance Committee recommend any particular course to be followed by the Vestry. If the suppression of nuisances, which concerned the morality of the whole town, were saddled upon the poor's rate, he thong'.t.it full time the Vestry should see that the public were not discontented eita the increase of the, rate, or rather that it should be placed upon a mare just footing. For his part he should feel it his duty, unless some steps were taken by the Finance Coalmine% to call the attention of the Vestry at an early day to the subject, in crier that it might be seen whether an alteration could not be made in the law. The CIUnuUN said the Vestry had, et rely speaking,, nothing to do with it The churchwardens and overseers were called upon, under an old act of parliament, to do a certain thing lie had no doubt the reason the poor's rate was made applicable for such purplses was, that it was the only public rate applicable in tuose days. He agreed with Mr. Whitty that if these nuisances were to be put down, not the parish merely, bit the public ought to bear the expenses. M-. OwEN said it was only in the event of a conviction taking place that the churchwardens and overseers could be called upon to bear the expenses. Mr. JACKSON was very glad to find that there was a law in existence by which suck nuisances enuid be t'ealt with, and he hoped that an impression - would not go forward from th•tt Vestry, that there was anything like an objec tion on their part to pay when a conviction took place. !, The Fnbject then dropped. Mr. D,NroN a'ked whether Mr. Weightman had yet supplied the measurements in reference to Messrs. Holmo's contract. The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative, adding that, a few days ago, he had had a conversation with Me. Weight man, wlio stated that he was considerably relieved in consequence of the business in London having been settled, and that in a short time he would audpiy the measut erarnts. It was a g.ued that the Clark should write to Mr. Weight man urging him to famish the measutemeuts at his earliest. convenience. This concluded the bwiness. GIRSTON LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. The usual monthly meeting of this beard was held yesterday evening. The chair was taken by Mr. Morris. The following members were present—Messrs. Challoner, Watts, Crosbie, atd Sutton. CIIOLI RA. The Law clerk reported that he had received a letter from the General Board of Health, London, to the effect that certain precau'ions should be adopted to prevent chelera in the neighb..)urhood. The letter was referred to the inspector of nuisances. The surveyor, Mr. Standing submitted plans, sections, and specifications for the c instruction of sewer.; on the Mersey Road, Aigburth, and Grassendale roads, and also Gentian (Ad road. The proceedings cf the. Finance Committee, which were cf the usual character, were confirmed. RAISING MONZY FOR TITS SIMMS. A question arose as to the borrowing of money for the purpose of making the sewers alluded to in the plans of ths surveyor, on the security of the rates cf the township ; and it was agreed to advertise for tenders, for the sun of /6,500 altogether, for five or seven years; for the purpose specified. Several letters of a routine nature were read by the Cnairman, and then the Board adjourned. BOYS' CLOTHING MA 'E WE CH GREATJAITE AT LEWIS and coaiPANY'S. ;Ranelagh;street.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-Y_ BBTIRDAY. LIVERPOOL BANK RUPrCY COURT -YESTZEDLY. ALCOHOL; LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. .BEFORE MR. COMKIBSIONII2 STLYANBON OR, THE . BEATING A WlFE.—Ellen Piling, the wife of a master mason, living in Lansdowne-place, Everton, cha-ged her husband, Joseph Pilling, with having violently assaulted her. From the al pearance of the woman's fice, it appeared that she was badly treated, and this was proved by the complainant and a witness who saw part of the prisoner's conduct towards her. He beat her fearfully about the head and face with his han-ls He was sent t 3 gaol for six months, and kept to hard labour. The c lm plainant said she could not live with her husband after he came out of gaol Mr. Mansfield : Come to me after the first of January, when the new act comes into opera ion, and I will sign a certificate for you to live separate, and have your own property from him. [ rhis will be the first case under the new divorce act ] TREAT FOR TREAT !—A well dressed young woman, named Anne Shehan, was brought up by detective officer Sullivan, charged by M 4. J. Morton, forwarding agen-, of No. 8, Galton-street, for having stolen his watch, a few evenings ego, in a passage off Fontenoy-street. The com plainant said the prisoner followed him for acme time in the street, wanting a treat, and in order to get rid of her ha gave her a gls4 of rum. khe then said, " treat for treat is fair play," but he refused to have any, when she got him it, to a passage in Fontenoy-street, where he was seized by two men, who " thrcttled him," whilst the prisoner snatched the watch, and ran off with it. He fully identified the prisoner, who was arrested by Sullivan, on the 'Change flags, on Monday night. She was com mitted far trial at the sessions. In re ANTHOXY O'Dixxsnr..—His Honour gave judge ment this day, on the application made on behs'f of the bankrupt, a few days since, for his discharge from Lancaster Cas le. He said that the petitioning creditor had great reason to complain, because, though the case for a long jyriod . had been adjourned from time to time, and proteedion renewed on the assumption that the bankrupt would file satisfactory accounts and give the information required of him, he had not done so, and he (his Hon our) was therefore at a loss to concaive how the Court could ex end to him any consideration It was impossible, too, to overlook the letter which the bankrupt wrote from prison, because it showed that he was treating the matter with a degree of levity which did not. place him in a rosition to entitle him to the indulgence of the Court. The offence was not one which was passed, and for which a measure of punishment could be apportioned, but was one which continued from nay to day so long as the required accounts were not furnished. It was in consequence impossible for the Court to ( rcLr his dis- charge, and he (his Honour) was not prepared to say that he should not remain the fall twelve months in prison, unless the accounts were in the meantime furnished. The application should therefore be refused. In conclusion, his Honour observed that the bankrupt m;ght apply to be brought up to be again examined. Mr. Bremner said that he could not be brought up, except by habeas, which would be t o expensive. Mr. Pemberton replied that he could His Honour also thought. that the Court had the power of ordering him, on application, to be brought up fir examine. ion. Mr Bremner intimated that he would give notice and make such an application on a future day. MINOR CURSE OF ENGLAND. BEING THE SUBSTiNCE OF A SERtEi OF ADDRESSF:S DELIVERED IN caxxstmoN WITH ST.

Mr. Tyndall appeared to•prosecute for the vocal Marine Board, and said he would tender as much evidence as would enable his Worship to grant a remand, which he intended to ask for. Superintendent Murphy said the prisoner came with a forged certificate, and when eines tioned, ha said be got it from a man named Williams, who WAS clerk to Mr. Evans, in Jordan•street. Mr. Bluck said: I appear for David Witliams, and he is here, and he will state that the story is utterly untrue. Mr Murphy said : Williams is here• and repuliates all knowledge of the certificate.

(To be continued ) THE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE. The Freeman's Journal publishes a part of a letter, aldressed by Dr. Callen, the Cstholic Archbishop of Dublin, to his vicar-Gmeral, the very Rev. Monsignore Yore. dated 25th Septemb3r. The Arehbish )p says— . - It has given me much pleasu-e to learn that a movement is to be male for the relief of oar fe loot conntrymon who have been reduced to mise.y by the dreadfal ant wid o-spre al revo'ntioa now raging in India, and menfacng the safety 0 the British empire. Those poor sufferers are w ,rthy of on- deepest sympathy, and it is to be hopes that the efforts male to relieve them will be attended with success. However, bef ze we take any step I the matter, or cal on our flock, t, flo so, perhaps it would b 3 wet to Loraine how the fund ahout t be raised. is to b 3 m triage I, an 1 whether there is any danger that it may be applied by bigots to proselyt'sing purposes. The recollection of late transactions exciter] doalrs is my mini on this bead. In the year 1854 you sn'oscribed to the Patriotic Fend an I you ware kind eaough to hand is my contribudon for tle same object. I think also that on the same occadon the Catholics of D subscribed very generously, accord ng t their menus. Now how has that nod bean managed? Yon recollect, and C mon Grimley that Catholic clergymen of Dublin appliel to the as snagers of the fond in favour of the widows an 1 orp'ains of ad Hers kiilel in the Crimea; yet, as fir as I coal I learn, not one shilling was then ob:ained by such applications Woe's relief wile granted in Dublin, a parson was always employe I to administer it; and 1 have heard that he generally selec.ed a Protestant chtrch or vest y as the pace of doling it oat, thus ,o ripe' ing poor Catholic wilows to undergo the mortifi cation of via'ting a hence of worship- which it is against their feeling s and conscleace ever to en .er, and patinae& of waiting for him there before they could see the agent from whom they were to receive assistance. After adducing a number of other facts, with a view to show that, Roman Catholics are unfairly treated, the Archbishop concludes as follows: I am mstnnxioui that everything should be done to raHeve tht.• sufferers in Lifts, ; let u=, however, have suns security that the funds cellects i w.ll not be appli d to the foundation of Protestant asylum s for the perver4on of poor Catholiz orphans. The management of the Patriotic Fund shows hem' necessary it 13 torus to be cautious. The continua' complaints of Catholic bishops and missionaries in India about the attempts made by the East India C 'ropily to proselytise should increase our alarm. * Real D octor Fmelly's late parnphl:t, and you will se) to what an extent that Company has attempted to prom )te Protestagtis-so by perverting the orphans of Irish Catholic set lets.

Since then the sum of £2 2s had bees paid for the repair of the same. The further consideration of the matter was referred to the General Beard. `the committee ale) reported that the subject mooted by Mr. Thult, for annexing the Toxteth district with the borough of Liverpool, would be taken into considerati-n at a special meeting of the committee, to be held ou the 16th inst.

A GRUB AMONG TIM PUIP.ICANS.—Th9 Morning Star has an eche tisement which professes to he the preliminary anatomic went of a new paper, the A nglo Saxon. promi ed jr7utnal will be eevo'ed to the discussion of the scientific and ethical departmen's of the temperance Ties- Con, and to the il'usA-ati n of the principles of in'( !Lethal and social progress. This paper is to be edited bf Edward Grubb !—.l. name not unknown in Preston. This platform Ithuriel says that the idea ,:f starting en indepeenent tem- Frame publication, differing in many resp cts frets those already established, was suggested by a report of the gear terly meeting of the Liconted Nrietzale s' Defence League, held in the Mitre Inn, Preston, where that body resolved to establish a newspaper, as thr special organ of the " trade." That meeting op - rnly avowed that the true end of govern ment was to p,omote the interest of the liquor seller, rather than consult the general goo 1 of the community. They unblushingly based t'reir theory of government and national prosperity up m the pernicious maxim that " Frivate vies are public leeefita." Sere was en oppor tunity f:sr showing the wickedness of their morel ideas, and theinfamous character of their traffic, but they were overlooked at the time, or perhaps excluded as too stale and unprofitable for modern temperance men. , From this it would appear that Mr. Grubb has bad a little quarrel with his old friends ; bat he learns, no (I.9ubt, on that head, as he proceecP, in not over elegant style, to consider the existing teetotal papers and the t-mperance readers. Poor Mr. Grubb "sees with alarm that a noble mavemen', based on the principles of eternal truth, has now become a commercial spscn!ation. He has lived, like others, to see the day—for the shameful thing mutt be spoken—Wan those who have devour( d the forgotten trifles, or rejected nonsense of other teen, s2cure a higher e,mmercial value than the original product'ons of an honest mind." The ora'ors wail thus procr eJs .—" We were prepared to witness a defecdoa from the principles of the temperance movement, but we were not prepared to expect that our pseudo-leaders, and the conductors of temperance peri idicals, -would— turn their hosti;ity to the enemy against the oldest of our advo cates—least of all against one who, for five and twmtv years, has 'carried his cup upright,' and walked the world with clean hands. James Teare has been att .ckel in a initialed temperance paper!—the veteran who has never neglected or betrayed the cause, but, true to the instincts of his miscirm, has wandered like a pilgrim to establish, ex end, and keep calve its spirit—against whose reputation malice i'sr:lfe,uld bring no impeachment, and whose integ rity and manliness have won for him the noble designation of 'Hones James Teare.

Patrick Daly, insolvent, was supported by Mr. Gray, and u lopnosei. His fi.ial order W 34 granted. Isaac Perry, supported by Mr. Roby, ani opposed by one of his ci.editors in person, had his final order fixed fur the 10 h of November Thomas Poynter had his hearing adjourned to the 12,h instant - , in consequence of his solicitor, Mr Bremner being engaged in a public duty at the Revision Court dairy Lamport Neilson was not opposed, and had his final order appointe I for the 10th of November. Johnston Lyon applied to ba discharged from custody. He was supported by Mr Hu-band, and unopposed. An order for his immediate discharge was given. James M‘Griff was supported by Mr. Husband, and unopposed He applied to be discharged immediately from custody, and Was or lend to ba discharged im mediately. Corkan waq supported by Mr. H isb opposed by Mr. Hime. Tne insolvent applied to be cischarged, and the c3urt ordered that he be discha"ged forthwith. • Thomas MacDonald was supported by Mc. Husband, and opposed by Mr. Anderson for several creditors. The insolvent was a messenger in the employment of the Len don and North Western Railway Company, and the prin. nine! creditor was Mr. Tnurstoae, clerk in the manager's offal of that company. The oppotition was for money lent by the several creditors to the insolvent. On one occasion Mr Thurstone lent the latter £lOO, receiving £l7 1013 f interest for six months. He also lent him £5 for an equal period, receiving £lO interest. He lent £Bl for six months, and received £l3 lOs interest. On the pert of the insolvent it was st ted that the money was be rowed for a person then in the employment of the company, who had since abscon 'ed and lett the country. This creditor stated, in answer to Mr. Husband, that the money he lent was always his own, and positive'y denied that he ever gave one shilling of the company's money. He also denied that he ever cha-ged 360 per cad:. interest .Mr. Husband' Was proceeding to examine the creditor with reference to transactions with other parties, hut His Honor declined to go into any such question, retnerkieg, however, that he thought the slate of things was discreditable to both the parties concerned in the case. In answer to slr. Anderson, the creditor sta , cd that insolvent always represeatid to him that he had means beyond his salary, and that he kept lodgers, by which he realised a considerable amount. James Marshall, a constable in the employment of the railway company, deposed that he lent insolvent £25, which the latter told him was for a party in the employ ment of the company, but not the party who hai sines left the country. He was also a security for the insolvent in I two loan societies. In answer to Me. Husband, witness stated that the la-gest amount he ever lent insolvent, of his own money, was £25 He once lent him £5O of bor rowed money. It was harrowed from a booking clerk in the employment of the company. Received £l5 of the money back Did not not receive a penny of interest on the £25. Witness said his own wages were £1 a week, and his wife also earned money. His Honor said he did not see the necessity for going .into these matters. Mr. Husband said, in estimating the conduct of the insolvent, it was right also to se what was the c duct of these from whom 66 pppo ;lion came. His Honour sail he quite agreed with Mr. Husband, that the coAnct of the creditor previously examine 1, WAS more blameable than that of the insolvent, for ha was a person who ought to hive knows better. The insolve it was agein placed at the bar, ant examined by Me Has band. He deposed that he had received in all about £3OO fr m Mr. Thurstone, aad that Me. Toeirstone ha :l received about £7O per annum interest. He stated that he bee rowel the money from Mr. Tanrstone to enable the party already mentioned, as having left the country, t o ma k e up his accounts. To His Honour : It was out of' pure friend. ship ineolveut borrowed the money from that party; they had had several bill traneacjone together before, and the later had always paid the money hick Mr. Anderson denied that the insolvent had ever lent any money to the party who had left the country, and pointed to the fact that if the insolvent had filed ris petition a few days sooner, he could have had that party as a witness He con. tended that the loans were oleelined fraudulently, and that the petition ought to be dismissed. Mr. Husband addressed the court on the pa-t of the insolvent. H's Hon° sr thought this was a case which the Court should mark by some expression of disapproval. Tae insolvent was iu a bid position, bat at least one of those who opposed him was much worse. That, however, was no reason why the insolvent should be allowed to go free His Honour dis missed the petition, and remanded the insolvent for four months from the date of the vesting order.

This document ,ll4.l ' was adopted by 6 votes Lo 5, is as follows :-- • I. The near approach of the period when the lianriod• exclusive trade, granted ill 1838 for 21 years, to the. O f son's Bay Company over that north-western P" t y i° dlatt, British Am3rica, which goes by the name of th e Territory, must expire, would alone make it n eces tgi that. the condition of the whole of the vast regions ,o`„a are under the administration of the company eh carefully considered ; but there are other circumstat; which, in the opinion of your committee, would h a .i rendered such a course the duty of the parlianteut" government of 2 this country. e . Among these, your committee would Wel sa liar merate—the growing desire of our Canadian iL tt ia subjects that the means of extension and real/ 10 7 ; 0 ment should be afforded t o th em over a portion 0_ t o territory; the necessity of p rov idi ng suitably fog od bee administration of the affairs of Vancouver's Dian the present condition of the settle m ent which ha s formed on the Red Riv, r. luabl e 3. Your committee have recei ve d much the evidence on these and other subjects connected vvi is er inquiry which has been entruste4 t ) th em , and esP; chief have had the advantage of hearing th e statements o yew Justice Draper, who was commissioned by the ,P4 OO is ment of Canada to watch this inquiry. In adn" t oga this, your committee have received the evidence jo before a committee of the Legislative Assembly, aPP i e uis alo to investigate this subj act, containing much va of information in reference to the interests and fee"M t att that important colony, which are entitled to the gr''' weight on this occasion. 4. Your committee have also had the opinion of L" -: . aA officers of the crown communicated to them on I ti g ° af points connected with the charter of th e Hudaons Campany. elae 5. The territory over whi c h th e company now el-- st rights, is of three descriptions :- Ist. The land held by charter, or Rupert's Lam' sai 2nd.

Yo u r comm itt ee appre hend the districts on the Red River and the Saakatchewar ; among those likely to be desired for early occupation o f is of great importance that the peace and good ord er og y those districts should be effectually secured. Your e l Company trust that there will b e n o diffi cu l ty i n effe ol ; arrangements as between her M•ajesty's Government „",si the Hudson's Bay Cepany by which th ese districtsr,o be ceded to Canada on equitabl e p r i nc i ples, an d ivr t ba the districts thus annex e d t o h er t h e author ity n' Hudson's Bay Compass , would of course entirely esa ee l eal 8. Your committee think it b es t to content theins" with indicating the outlines of such a sc h eme , leallet to her Majesty's Government to consider its details T O ' maturely before the Act o f P ar li amen t is prepared will probably be necessary to carry it into effect. t,ll' 9. In case, however, Canada should not be willing very early period to•undcrtake the government of the.„; 6 River district, it may- be proper to consider whether s o ' temporary provision, for its ad m i n i s t ra ti on ma y net advisable. 10. Your committee are of opinion that it will be pro, to terminate the connecti on o f t h e H u d son ' s B ay CosoP• D e with Vancouver's Island as soon as it can convenient/ 9 of done, as the best means of favouring the development y.' the great natural advantages of that important eow ;0 0 Means should also he pr o vid e d f or t h e u l t i mate e xtens'„ 6 of the colony over any p or ti on o f t h e a dj o i n i ng contiaPot to the west of the Rocky M ounta i ns , on w hi ch perrun ne settlethent may be found practicable. eree 11. As to those extensive regi ons , w h e th er i n RuP jt Land or the Indian territory, in which, for the present , least, there can be no prospect of permanent settlenss'f r to any extent, by the E uropean race fothepurposes„te colonisation, the opinion- ,at which your committee L. ..gs arrived is mainly founded on the following eonsiderati ow "o Ist. The great importance to the more peopled porti o o of British North America that law and order shon l4 l4, far as possible, be maintained in these territories The fatal effects which they believe would'infallibli t or suit to the Indian popul a ti on f rom a system o f open e,lOO petition in the fur trade and th e consequent in•rodun",t of spirits in a far greater degree than is the cag e t o present ; and 3rd. The probability o f t h e indiscrirn%a destruction of the more valuable furbearing animals in' course of a few years. ,aion 1.8• For these reasons, your committee are of 01 3 . e that whatever may be the validity or otherwise °I the , rights claimed by toe Hudson's' Bay Company, under Jai charter, it is desirable that they should continue to er, 9 the privilege of exclusive trade, which theaanow posse: e ; except so far as those privileges are limited by the t ot going recotn nendations.
