Under a bright clear sky, with a fair wind, and every thing propitiotis, at 10 a.m. If Wednesday. the 27th Aug., 1856, we broke ground and left Hobsoe's Bey, made good way down to the Heals, but the 'wind being very light and rant, dropped anch or off the Q tarantine station at 6 p.m.- The next day started early, and at 11 a.m. were fairly outside, and bade adieu to our pilot. The wind was fair, and, as we left the land, gradually increased, and in the evening we dashed along with a fine strong breeze. September lst.—C .ntinued rattling wind At 5 p.m., weather Ming very thick. ran close to Enderby's Island, t ff the Aucklands; hauled on the wind on the port tack, but not being likely to weather the bluff, tacked ship to the westward, and, cleverly luffing round the Bristow R )cks, went round to the southward of Auckland Island. Next day resumed our course to the eastward, and cintioned, sometimes at a greet rate. and making on the whole a fair average speed, to run off our distance, until the Bth, when there was a flaw of foul wind for twenty four hours, and then there was a fair strong breeze till the 14th Oa the 19th, sighted an iceberg, fortunately the only one during the vlyage. On the 15th, a calm for a few honrs, but soon a strong fair wind returned, with plenty of snow, which continued until the 19 h, when we rounded the Horn, with light winds, in 21 days 16 hours from the trees. Exchanged signals with the Patriot King, beating to the westward. For seven days very slow progress, light vari ble airs, sometimes no wind at all, and at others fool. Oa the 27th a strong fair wind till the 31st, when it became rather scant, heading us off our course. At noon of that day were on the parallel o Rio Janeiro, the island of Trinidad bearing NE. by N. N., distant 191 miles. At 1 p.m. had entered the Tropic of C:pricorn, and from our successful run so far, great hones were entertained that we should accomplish another 04 da• a' passage. • But October begen. badly, with winds from the north ward, and calms. From the 4th to 10th did pretty well, having a light favourable brerv. On the Bth, an enter tainment was given in the evening, on the poop deck, in honour of the captain and his lady, that day being the anniversary of their wedding day. During the night crowed the line. 11th, boarded the Prosernine, from Boston. 14th, signalised the American clipper Tornado, and had a very exciting race with her, of course the Lightning won. Marie very little progress, in consequence of the light variable winds and calms, until the 10th, when the NE. trades commenced, bl ,wing moderate'y fresh for three days only, after which we were obliged to endure nine consecu tive days of light airs and calms.. 21st, boarded the Marie Leocadie, from Liverpool, and obtained newspapers of the 6:h September. •An " Extraordinary" was published in the evening, giving extracts of the must important intelligence. 26th, boarded the Meteor, from Liverpool, and by the captain were kindly suppled with some claret, and Liver pool papers of the 221 September. Two ladies also came on board from her, being anxious to 'return to Liverpool. 29 b, light northerly breeze sprung up, stood to the east ward, three or four ships in sight. 30 h, wind from the east, tacked ship to the NNW.: sighted the James Baines a-head, and on the following day came up with her; wind agnin light. 'Yea. Ist —Wind changed from NE. to NW., the James Baines, the C.d, and another Hambro' vessel in - company, all of whom we left far behind befare sundown : then three days more of light variable winds. sth. strong breeze from the NE., gradually working to the NE., and then fell almost a calm. 11th, sighted the islands of Pico, F iVal, ate. John Robinson, seaman, died on the morning of this day, and was buried at 11 a.m. Neon, light SW wind, steered a curse to pass to the southward of Tetceira. Bth, were h calmed off that island until 10 e.m . then a strong NNW. wind blew to cheer us un for a few hours, succeeded by a strong gale from the ENE. for two deys ; tacked ship, and did the hest we could, but made very little real progress. 11th and 12 . 14 wind rather lighter, and shifting a point nr tw t, but still mo Vs , to the northward of E., heading us too much to the northward; however, one consolation wo could mike northing. 13 h, wind became more southerly, but very light, until it fell calm. Evening of 15th, a hreeza from SW. greatly delighted us all, arid we made " berm)" progress for 48 hoers. All night of 16th squall' end changeable, and the ntxt morning strong wind from NNE. An address and testimonial were presented by the cabin pass•nze re to our estimable captain : an address and testimonial, from the second cabin, to Mr. Bartlett. our sailorlike gentlemanly first officer : also addresses, from both first and second cabin p:ssengers, to D. Wood, our urbane and attentive medical attendant. 18 , b, we are abreast of Cork, and heading up for the Small Rucks, %vied still from the northward. Evening, after a few hours of light, wind, breeze sprang up from NNW., when in sight of the Smalls Light. By dint of careful watching all night, and keeping her "close at it," we sighted Berdsey Island next morning, and. after a few tecks, rounded Holyhead with a fair wind, at 2 p.m. At 43, Mr. W. Harris, pilot, came on board and took charge,,off Cape Lynes, Our passage was thus accomplished under 84 days, THE RUN.

The usaal periodical meeting of the liturature section of the Lancashire and Cheshire Histor'c Society was. held in the grand jury room, St. George's Hall, last evening. Mr. J. Mayer, occupied the chair on the occa ion. There was a large attendance of the members present. Several gentle men, who had previou3ly been proposed, in accordance with the rule of the society, were ballotted for, and unanimously elected. The ban. secretary, Dr. Hume, announced that a very valuable donation had, amongst others, been presented to the society, namely, fourteen volumes of the " Memoirs of the Real Astronomical Society ;" he also presented a gutta percha impression, from a matrix, of a seal of Edward IV., for the Chancery of Monmouth, as parcel of the Duchy of Laneastr. This matrix was found in a river in Monmouth. The matrix was explained in detail by the Rev. Doctor. He likewise exhibited a curiously carved pine, which he said was an illustration of smoking under difficulties during the last war ; one of the soldiers in th , 3 Crimea had lost several pipes, perhaps from cannon balls, and finding a piece of soft stone, he made himself another, very neatly carved, the tube being formed out of a piece of cherry wood. Also a small state seal of Oliver Cromwell. The chairmen said, it had often occurred to himself, and to the hon. secretary, that there should be an evening set apart for the purpose of having some conversation, not on things present, but on things exhibited, as it frevently occurred, that the articles presented were just looked at and then removed, without being strictly. examined. For the purpose of commencing evenings c.f conversation, he begged to invite gentlemen to his museum in Colquitt-street, on Thursday next, when he should ba happy 'to explain its contents, and to make the 'evening as comfortable as possible. (Apnlatise.) The paper of the evening was read by Mr. Newton, and was on the theory of the stereoscope and binocular vision. He explained the structure of the human eye, and the details of the sensation of vision, the history and structure of the stereoscope. He combated the position of David Brewster, that the perception of distance was i n t u i t i ve, an d was as p er fect in infants as in adults. Several interesting pictures were placed on the table to be viewed through the stereoscope, which were very much admirA. After a few observations by the Rev. Dr. Hume, a vot e o f t h anks was accor d ed to Mr. Newton, for the interesting paper he had read.

DOCK COMMITTEE The usual weekly meeting of this co•nmittee was held at one o'clock yesterday, Mr. Charles Turner in the chair. The other members present were—Messrs. Rankin, Palmer, Halhead, Chaloner, Mann, Littledale, Clint, Holden, Hubback, Barber, Lockett, Bold, Smith, Mon deli, Rathbone, gladstone, Rounthwaite, Anderson, and Robinson. The snb-committee of works reported that Messrs. Cato, Miller, and Co. offered to relinquish the shipbuild ing yard they tenanted in the Brunswick Dock in favour of Messrs. R. and J. Evans and Co., whom the sub committee according'y recommended to be accepted as tenants. The recommendation was confirmed. A letter was read from Mr. Myall, thanking the com mittee for their donation of £5O, granted to him on the 14. h inst., in consequence of the injuries he had received in the Stanley Dock. THE APPROACHES TO 7HE RIVER. The Chairman said the next business would be the con sideration of the resolution of the town council's special committee on the approaches to the river, which was post poned from the last day, in order that the dock committee might at the same time take into consideration the motion of which notice had been given by Mr. Bold. Since th , n the f„ flowing resolution had been received from the special committee of the council, dated Monday, the 17 t h November, Mr. William Earle, chairman :—"ll?.solved, that the dock committee be requested to nominate some members of their body to confer with this committee upon the various (motions referred to the committee by the council.' Mr. Bold said it now became his duty, in consequence of the notice he gave last week, to move his resolution. During the interval between last Thursday and this day, after consulting with the chairman and other friends, he found it was considered by them, and by the chairman more particularly than any body else, that he ought to extend the sphere of the operations of the committee. Perhaps, therefore, his best plan would be to read the altered resolution he now inte ded to propose, if the com mittee would consent to his then introducing it, if not he should defer it until next week. The resolution, of which he gave notice last week, was, "That a special committee I3e appointed to take into consideration the present defec tive approaches lo the hurling stage, and to report as to the best means of improving. them." He now connected with that subject the consideration of laying out the pro perty which would soon come into their possession, between the Prince's Dock and the Canning. Dock Basin. He, therefore, now proposed the following reso:uLion:— " That a special committee be appointed for the purpose of taking into consideration the best plan of laying out the land between the Prince's Dock and the Canning half tide dock, and whether any and what alterations should be made in the existing docks and basins, with a view to give improved facilities to the trade of the port; and also to take into their consideration the present defective approaches to the landing stage, and to confer with the special committee of the council as to the best means of improving them—and to report to the dock committee." The Chairmln put the question whether the com mittee would agree to proceed with the amended resolution forthwith, which was unanimously assented to. Mr. Bold said as he had read the resolution, and the subject had been so frequently, not only before that cord mittee, but before the town, he thought it unnecessary for him to say further than he had previously stated. He therefore should simply move the resolution, reserving to himself the power of replying to any observatios made upon the subject. _ Mr. Barber had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Mr. Smith said it anpeared to him that the question now assumed a very different shape from its appearance in former discussions, and one in which there did not appear to be any difficulty.whatever. There had just been read to them a communication from the council, requesting them to appoint a- sub-committee to confer with their special committee upon the suhket. He did not think any gentleman at that board would say „ no" to that request. (Hear, hear.) The council had now taken the initiative, and the dock committee, he was sure, would be prepared to join that body heart and hand to devise, if possible, the very best mode of laying out the whole of the property between the Prince's dock and the Salt.house dock ; all of which must necessarily be re—arranged. But he did not think Mr. Bold's motion assumed exactly the shape which he should desire. He thought the first thing to be known, was the extent to which the council was prepared to carry out the improvements which were contemplated in the bill of 1854. It was, therefore, his intention to move that a special committee be ap pointed to confer with the council upon the subject to which they referred in their request, and he thought this course would be much better, than the double sort of view which Mr. Bold's motion had. The latter motion seemed to begin to deal with the property, before they knew whether the corporation were prepared to carry. out those improvements, which must be dove sooner or later. It was desirable that, in the first instance, they should know what the corporation were prepared to do, and then they could deal with the question as a whole. It was not desirable for them to begin to deal with their property, with the view of giving improved facilities for access to the landing stage, which might lead to some plan suitable enough for the present ; but, which, the carrying out of the improvements he had referred to, and which must be done s ,, oner or later, would interfere with, and cause them to feel how much better it would ha.vo been, it; in the first instance, they had dealt with the question as a whole. (Hear, hear.) He, therefore, intimated that he would bring forward a ['notion of the character he had mentioned. Mr. Rankin said before he was aware that Mr. Bold intended to alter his resolution, he thought it would be better t , • appoint P. special committee, to take a very general view of the extension and improvements which were necessary, both to accommodate the shipping with wet docks, and graving docks, and also to give facilities for approach to the landing stages. Of tl , e necessity for such increased accommodation, he thought there could be no doubt when they looked at the extension of the trade of that port which had taken place during a century back. It had doubled itself every fifteen years during that period, being now about 130 times greater than it was a century ago. Even since he came to Liver pool, eighteen years since, the increase had, by the last return, been 113 per cent upon what it was in 1838. So far as he could judge, the next return would be at least 125 per cent increase. It was, therefore, beyond all doubt, necessary and proper, that every possible facility should be afforded to the trade of that great port as it inereas d. There need be no jealousy whatever between Liverpool and the Birkenhead side, because it was merely a question of time—they would both be required. The motion he should therefore propose was—" That a special sub-coni mittee be appointed to consider and arrange plans of dock improvement and extension, and to confer with the sub committee of the council regarding the approaches to the landing stages, the widening of the streets along the line of cbcks, and the transfer of the baths' and the adjoing land from the corporation to the dock trustees and to report thereon from time to time to the committee." The object which he (Mr. Rankin) had in taking that com prehensive view was, that the dock committee could not begin to shape their ground in the slightest degree betwixt the Waterloo and Albert docks, until they knew whether the corporation were desirous of widening the streets and of disposing of the property where the baths now stood. If the council were inclined to do so, then the dock com mittee would be enabled to form the docks and approaches in a very different manner from what they could do, if they were confined to their own grou n d. Th e d oc k com mittee had increased their rates by 10, and in some cases 15 or 20 per cent upon ships and goods, and that increase was borne by the ratepayers without a murmer. It was, therefore, the duty of the committee to see that the interests of the ratepayers were thoroughly protected in anything that was done, and to see that all facilities were given for trade. It was as necessary that the committee should go into those points, as into those which related to the landing stages, important as they of themselves were. The two might be blended together with more propriety than taking either one by itself. Mr. Lockett seconded the motion. Mr. Smith said he Shouldut once withdraw his motion in favour of that of Mr. Rankin. It embraced all tho points which he proposed, and more, to which he had no objection. Mr. Bold said the only objection he had was, that that was doing little more than he proposed. Mr. Rankin wanted to go into the whole question of dock extension. Now, they had been told by parliament, that at present that would not be listened to again. The object, therefore, of the committee should not be directed at the present moment, especially to that purpose. He had • also the objection, that matters of that kind generally devolved upon the works' committee. This was more a question of a special nature. As to the taking down of the Goren warehouses and the widening of Bath-street, 411 these matters, when the conference was held between the special committee or that hotly and the committee of the council, would very naturally arise; indeed they must arise. Also with regard to the property on which the baths now stood, and all the land to the west ward of the George's Dock must naturally be a part of the considerations which would -arise when the sub committees came to confer together. lie had no objection to the views embodied in Mr.. Rankin's -resolution in themselves, and he did not pretend to say that they should not ask the council to bear a larger proportion of the expense of the improvement than that estate would do. But all of these matters would, when the parties met, grow out of the conference. He (Mr. Bold) had confined his motion to the docks and basins now in existence, and to the laying out of the land which would come into the possession of the dock committee in the course of next year. Mr. Rathbone suggested that Mr. Rankin should modify his motion by substituting the words, !` improved dock accommodation' for "extension.'' Mr. Rankin said he could hardly do So, because it was obvious that it would be a great improvement if the corporation were to . widen the streets he spoke of while they were shaping out the whole plan. If the corporation would not do so, then the committee Must only report ' to the dock trust, and go for powers to deal with the ground as they had it. The first step, in his opinion, was to ascerta,n what the corporation would do with regard to those points. It was obvious that the trade of"the port rrquired (Ex* aoemmelatiori to • an increased extent, wet docks and graving docks, as well as the approacheS t ti,the lardi.,g stage. Ile could not see any reason why the one should be dealt with more than the other. They were equally important, same.tlnte. !loci °light tp talsrn nt the Mr. Barber saw very little objection to Mr. Rankin's motion, and if he could see in it any improvement at all upon the motion of Mr. Bold, he shoal certainly be dis posed to support it: But he thought everything in Mr. Rankin's motion was provided for in Mr. Bold's, with the exception of dock extension. He should have no objection to the words, were they not coupled with some ohserva. t ions. from Mr. Rankin, which might lead it to be supposed that the chief otrkct, of the resolution was the extension of the docks. The remarks of Mr. Rankin, in alluding to the doubling of the trade of the port, might appear to the public to be the ground work of the resolution. Now, he did not thinkthe dock committee could adopt that view, or the conclusions at which it would seem Mr. Rankin would arrive. Sueh a geometrical progression continually going on was out of all reason, and must come to a stop some time. If the trade of the port went ori, as Mr. Rankin seemed to think it would, doubling itself every fifteen veers, where was it to be accommodated. In a very short time there would be no possibility of findingaccommodation ror it in the estuary of the Mersey, or even in the Irish Sea, (Gear, hear, and laughter.) The committee came back after their former application to parliament with rather a snub, and they must only make some better use of the deck since and accommodation they already had. The improvement, therefore, of what they hid, he thought of much greater importance, and more likely to meet with the sanction and approval of parliament, then an endeavour for tee further extension of their docks. (Hear, hear.) 11Ir. Anderson supported Mr. Brld's motion on the same ground as Mr. Barber did—that it was more specific, and dealt with the matter they had in hand more in or der than Me : Rankin's motion. The special committee of the council was appointed to take into consideration the approaches to the . landing-stage, and they asked the dock trustees to form some committee to confer with them. Now, although be thought, at another time, it would be very important to take the larger question into consideration which ,etas propo - ed by Mr. Rankin, he did not see exactly what it h-id. to do with the matter which was immediately under oonsideration at present. The introduction of that great additional question would p►obably complicate the matter, and . he, therefore, much preferred the motion introduced by Mr. Bold. Mr. Gallstone thought there could be no doubt that Mr. Rankin's motion was infinitely more comprehensive in its extent than Mr, Bold's, but then comprehensiveness, as he understood the matter, was not the point at issue at this moment. So far as he could form a judgment, he thought tbeir going to parliament to ask for too much would in all probabi'ity result in their c 'ming away without getting anything at all. So important a subject as dock extension should really stand upon its own b tsis and form the subject of a separate committee. He agreed with many of Mr. Rankin'. remarks, but his opinion was that it they went to parliament iu the manner proposed by that gentleman, the great question of dock extension alone would be considered, and the object which Mr. Bold had in view would be entirely defeated. Mr. Lockett - telt satisfied that with regard to the property between the Princ anti the Salthouse dock, Mr. Rankin's motion might be advantageously included in some way. It did•not refer to dock extension so much as to the arrange ment of a certain part of the property. • Mr. Bold : I say so in my motion • Mr. Gladstone : I would like certainly to have the ques— tion of the ground on which the baths stand introduced into Mr. Bold's motion. (Cheers ) Mr. Bold.: I have no objection whatever to *add --" the transfer of the baths and the property adjoining to this com rnittee." Mr. Smith "suggested that it might perhaps better meet the case if Mr. Bold were to 'put the latter part of his motion first. Mr. Bold : Well, this is a most extraordinary thing. I had that very portion first and the Chairman asked me to put it last. (Laughter.) The Chairm zn : Q tire true, indeed. Mr. Rankin : I must still urge the necessity of dock extension. I cannot look at the central position of the port of Liverpool, surrounded as it is by the population, the wealth, and the science of the manufacturing districts without being convinced in my own mind that the trade of Liverpool is as yet only in its infancy. If you set aside the idea of impreveraents for the trade of the place, for the tnere . purpose of giving facilities of approach to the landing stages, you will have many parties who will eo against you. I will for one. I am as desirous of giving good apprOaches to the landing—stages as any one can be, but I will not sacrifice the money of those who have paid the dues for the take of that object alone. Hu must be a. bold man indeed, who will say that the trade of the Mersey is to be restricted to its present amount. There is n) reason, that I can see, why it should not go on progressively increasing as it has done heretofore for many yews to come. I therefore certainly do attach a very great importance to the word " extension," to giving accommodation to vessels in wet docks, and vessels iu graving docks, to the landing stages, to the basin entrances, and also slips for carriages with loads coming across from one side to the other. But all this requires to be done hand, in hand, or else it will receive no support from me, and I fancy that in this respect I am expressing the opinion of two-thirds of the - ratepayers of Liverpool. Mr. Barber said be did not express any opinion against duck exte,,sion in moderate and reasonable style, but he did not wish the committee to adopt the conclusions which Mr. Rankin appeared to adopt by the figures he made use of.' Mr. Anderson slid he, too, was no opp meet of dock extension. He 'quite agreed with Mr. Rankin, that the trade of the Mersey was in its infancy, and thu it would requ're every p'.:ssible accommodation. Mr. Rankin : The inference from s3rne of the remarks made would be, that that question was secondary to the approaches to the landing•st ige. Mr. Anderson : I only objected to mixing the two things up. I should support Mr. itankin's motion at any other time for a special committee to take into consideration what extension of acommolation might be , ffordt d. Mr. Mondell said Mr. B dd's motion had been so much chopped and changed by putting the second part first at the suggestion of the chailman, and by subsequent alterations, that he could scarcely understand what it meant. Mr. Rankin's motion, on the contrary, was sufficiently plain, comprehensive, and clear. lie did not think they could sepirate the question of dock extension from the other considerations at all. The trade of the port should be the first consideration, and the approaches to the landing stagfs the second. The Chairman said, Mr. Bold had done him the favour of eh ming him the resolution he had prepared, and the only point on which he suggested alteration was that he recom mended to Mr. Bold, as desirable, that the laying out of the land should , be put prior to the consideration of the approaches to the landing stage. Mr. Bold was quite aware that, although agreeing in a good 'deal of the resolution, he (the chairman) thought it desirable to throw the question open still wider, and, of the two, he certainly should prefer Mr. Rankin's motion, although he thought there was a great deal to be supported in both, and should be very glad if the committee could come to some unanimous determination. (Heir, bear.) Mr, Hubback said, seeing that Mr. Bold had brought the subject first before the committee, it would be only respect ful on their part that his motion should be considered well before any amen bumt, introduced that day, without previ ous notice, was adopted in preference to it. (Hear, hear.) As the distinction between the two se eme d t o b e almost a distinction without a difference, he urged that Mr. Bold's motion ought to be adopted. Mr. Bold remined the committee, in order to correct what appeared to ba an impression, that the only fears of approaches to the landing stage, of which he knew nothing, did not of necessity involve the taking down of the Gloree warehouses, although no doubt that question might come under consideration. Finally, after a protracted and irregular discussion, in which some members spoke over and over again, a division was taken on the amendment of Mr, Rankin, when there appeared — For the amendment: Messrs. Littledale, Rounthwaite, Rankin, Smith, Palmer, Mondell, Chaloner, Lockett, and Turner-9. Against.: Messrs. Clint, Mann, GlAdstone, "fathead, Holden, B Ad, Robinson, Anderson, B irber, Rathbone, and Erubback.-11. The amendment was accordingly lost. Mr. Bold's m)tion was then put, in the following amended form : "That a special committee be appointed, for the purpose of considering the best plan of laying ont the land between the Prince's Dock and the Canning half-tide Dock; and whether any, and what alterations should be made, w - th the view of giving increased facilities to the trade of the port; and, also, to take into their consideration the present defective approaches to the landing-stages, and the transfer of the baths and adjoining land to.this committee; to confer with the special committee of the council as to the best means of improving them, and report to the com mittee' In this amended form, beside the addition relative to the baths, the words confining the alterations to "existing docks and basins," are omitted. Mr. Rankin said : If the motion had been introduced in these words, it would have saved a great deal of discussion, as it now quite expressed his views. (Laughter.) The committee then divided on the motion, when there appeared. For : Messrs. Clint, Mann, Gladstone, Halhea3, Holden, Bold, Robinson, Anderson, Barber, Rathbone, Rubhaok, Littledale, Rounthwaite, Rinkin, Turner.-15. Against.: Messrs. Smith, Palmer, Modell, Chaloner, Lockett.--5. The motion was declared carried. Mr. Bold proposed that the committee consist of eight members, as follows :—Messrs. Rankin, Braekleb au k, Hubback, Barber, Turner, Holme, Anderson, and Bold. Mr. Lockett, and other gentlemen, objected to members already . on the councii'l subcommittee being placed on that committee. The names were howeyer, put seriatim, and carded. NIL% Loc4ett then proposed that Mr. Smith's name be added. Mr. Hold objected, on the ground that Mr: Smith had opposed aril thwarted, by : ev er y means i n hie spt,r)tocneythe T. 3 , 'Ws of the maj.prity. Th'.! 'motion was carried by l 0 to 8. Mr, Bold proposed that Mr. Mann be added. The motion was carried. Mr. Palmer proposed that Mr. Mondell be added. Mr. Bald protested against the irregularity of thus in creasing a committee which his motion bad fixed at eight. 9hOrmau thought the board could not be prevented I from adding to the number of the committee if they thought fit. . Mr. Rathbone strongly objected to the commi t t e e being so consti•uted that thosa who were th 3 minority in the board on the principal question would form a majority of the com mittee.. Mr. Barber demurred to the conrs3 which some members were pursuing. Mr. Holden said that course was placing them in a very unpleasant position. Mr. Palmer nevertheless persevered in his motion, and the name of Mr. Mondell was aided, by eleven to seven. Mr. Bold proposed that Mr. Holden be added, which was seconded by Mr. Bt ber. Mr. RounthwAte thought they might as well now add all the Birkenhead commissioners to the c )mmittee, as they were interested in the questi n. (Laughter.) The moion was carried by sixteen to three.. It, may,,perhaps, b 3 added that the four gentlemen pro posed, subsequent to :the criginal formation of the com mittee, fill vou:d against their own names.respeetively. Ratinione gave noqee that, at the ne x t mee ti ng , h e would move that the number of the committee be reduced to eight,.hy ballot. The application of the council's special committee, for the aid of N.lr; H trtley, was then granted. The harbour wstsr, Lietzteoant Parkes, were authorised; on the motion of Mr. Bold, to attend the council's special committee, on the duties of water bailiff. The chairman, the deputy-chairman, end Mr. Brockle bank, were appointed as a sub-committee, to confer with tt:e airmen's committee on the porcha.?, of the Birkenhead docks, at the request of the latter body, in their ,t Insulta tions with Mr. Brunel on the laying out of these docks, Mr. Hartley was also authorised to attend the committee. This concluded the general business. HEALTH COMMITTEE, The usual weekly meeting of this committee was held at half-past two o'clock yesterday, in the Town Hall, Mr. Alderman Dover in the chair. Other members present—Messrs. Beckwith, M‘Grufri., Shell, Robertson Gladstone, Holden, Godfrey, Ilaydock, Johnson, Anthony, and Crosthwaite. HEALTH OP THE TOWN. The Medical Officer of Health reported that, up t;) last week, commencing the 9:h inst., there was a con tinuance of the low rate of mortalLy which had prevailed during the previous seven months. The deaths in the borough in the three weeks ending 25th October, Ist and Bth November, were 172, 186, and 178, respectively, giving a weekly average of 179, against an average of 218 in the same period of the preceding eight years, corrected for increase of pnpulation. ' The mortality 133 thus 18 per cent below the average. In the week ending Saturday last, there was a considerable increase of mortality, owing chiefly to an increased prevalence of inflammatory diseases of the lungs consequent on the somewhat sudden fall of atmospheric temperature. The deaths from all causes were 235, being about the cor rected average of the same week of the preceding nine years. From diseases of the lungs there were 76 deaths last week, being a greater number than in any preceding week since March - In the three weeks preceding, the deaths from these diseases were 161. From diseases of the zymotic class the deaths in the four weeks were 245, giving a weekly average of 61 ; while that of the same period of former years was 80. Of the 24:3 deaths frOm these diseases, 86 (more than one-third) were from scarlatina, 35 from typhus, 34 from diarrhcei, 28 from measles, 21 from h opinz cough, 18 from croup, 8 from small pox, 3 from syphilis. Of the eight who died from small-pox, four were stated to have been vaccinated. The only disease whose .mortality is higher than usual is scarlatina. The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and In spector of . Nuisances,, reported v.,rious particulars of the operations in their several departments during the last five weeks; from which it appeared that 288 nuisances, complained of by the inhabitants, had been inspected, and means taken to remedy them ; 2 888 houses, in the unhealthiest districts, containing 9,378 apartments, and 1,042 cellars, had been put under examination with the view of improvng their sanitary condition, and 282 lodging-houses bad also been examined and reported upon.. APPOINTMENT OF TREASURER. The report of the j drit sub-committees of the health, 'watch, and water committees, as to the appoin`ment of a treasurer in the room of the late Mr. Gapes Ashlin, was brought up and read. It recommended that Mr. Thos. White, assistant to Mr. Ashlin, be appointed to the office. at a salary of £5OO a year, 7-16ths to be paid by the Health Committee, and the residue by the other • sub-committees, and the security to he £5,000. Mr. Beckwith moved that 11r. Whi!e be appointed. He was conversant c‘ith the duties of the office, and, if after the able manner in which he had discharged the labourS'of his previous position, they did not appoint, or rather promote him tl the vacancy, they would not be doing what was just and right. (Tl , ar, hear.) Mr. Go !trey seconded the motion. In answer to a member. The Chairman said that Mr. White's present salary was £270 a year. The motion was unanimously adopted. The other recommendations in the report were also confirmed. Air. White was then called in, and in brief terms thanked the commi tee for the confidence they had reposed in him, by electing him to the office of treasurer. A letter waS iceeived - from the Home Office, stating that an Order in Council had been made for the closing of the common graves of St. John's, St Michael's, Christ Church, and St. Martin's churchyards. The family vaults and brick graves may be opened under certain conditions. 111 r. Crosthwaite presented a memorial from the inha bitants of Back Stanley-eresent, Kirkdale, complaining of a nuisance in that quarter. It was referred to the Borough Engineer. Mr. Beckwith called attention to other nuisances, which were likewise referred to the Engineer. This concluded the general business. Commerrta , ittenigence. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARK KT.—Nov 20.
