THE TOWN COUNCIL. The monthly meetimr of this body was held yester day, at the Town-hall; T. D. Anderson, E-q., the mayor, prLsiAing. There was but a limited attendance at the commencement of the proceedings. TUE. FINANCE. COMMITTEE. The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the Finance Committee, comprising,—Recommendation that the discretion given by, and contained in the Act of 7 William IV., and 1 Vic., cap. 19, as to the appoint ment of an assistant, or deputy-recorder, should, at the • next sessions, be exercised by the recorder. Recom mendation to increase the salary of Mr. Edward Fitz gerald, clerk in the Town Clerk's office, from £156 to £2'lo per annum, and the salary of John Andrews, from £52 to £BO per annum. Recommendation to accept the tender of Mr. William Tomkinson, for the erection and completion of the new bridewell in Argyle-street and Campbell-street, according to specifications, for the sum of £2,223. it appeared from the reading of the minutes, that the committee have had under their consideration the dis position of the Sessions House, now that the Police Courts have been removed, but that the subject had been postponed.—With reference to setting back the pro posed buildings at the corner of Lime-street and Roe 'reet, the surveyor had submitted plans, which were - approved of.—A resolution also appeared on the books V.th reference to the disposition of that part of the Newsharn-house estate lying on the north side of West Derby -road. It was that in consequence of the attempt to' sell in one lot having failed, the committee were of opinion that it should be divided into four lots, and that the property should be submitted for public compe tition; that the surveyor should report on the restric tions which should be attached, having regard to the protection of the interests of the Newsham-house 'estate on the south side of the road, and also upon the laying out of a road to render the whole lots more accessible.--It further appeared that £279 had been paid for the expense of post mortem examinations and analysis in re Winslow. Mr. Joux STEWART, as chairman, moved seriatim the confirmation of the proceeding. He began by moving the adoption of the first formal recommendation as to the appointment of a Deputy Recorder. Alderman TURNER seconded the motion, which was agreed to. Mr. STEWART said the next recommendation as to the increase of salaries would have to stand over pursuant to standing orders. The next was a recommendation to accept the tender of Mr. Tomkinson for the erection of the new bridewell. He was a respectable tradesman, his was the lowest tender, and he moved therefore that it be accepted. Alderman COOPER seconded the motion. Mr. STEWART then proceeded to move the confirma tion •of the general proceedings of the committee. Those gentlemen who had attended while the proceedings of the committee were being read by the clerk, would have *discovered that they embraced among ordinary business, an arrangement for carrying out the improvement in - Park - -lane, at the end towards Canning-place. An arrangement which, to do it properly, involved an ex change of property with Mrs. Needham, and he had reason to believe that the terms would soon be adjusted. 'Mr. Stewart next called attention to the plan which lay upon the table for setting back the proposed build inTs at 'the corner of Roe-street and Lime-street, by arrangement with Aldernian Bennett, and showed that • by the present plan whilst the great object of opening out the view of St. George's Hall was fully effected, the Cost would be less, in respect to the other parts of the Curve than by that plan which had appeared to meet the Concurrence of several members of the council. The Council would have heard also in the minutes that the 'whole question of a very complicated and extensive arrangement between the Dock Board, arising out of the 'Widening of Wapping, had now been concluded. The clacks had retained two lots of land with which the Cor poration was formerly charged, and the money paid for it lied been restored, with interest, to the corporate funds. Another loug•pending question had been satisfactorily settled—ithat was as to the repayment by the Treasury of 'PA legal costs ,of prosecutions. The Corporation had succeeded at last in coming to terms with the Treasury, -land he was happy to announce to the Council that they lad received payment infutl, on a principle agreed upon 'with the corporate treasury, as far as their accounts were delivered, which were up to December, 1859 ; but although there was an accruing demand, they could not inane out those accounts further while that troublesome *rid annoying question stood over with the Clerk of the !wee. But he was sure the Council would hear with pleasure that the main iuestion, which had given rise to ' 'deputations, 'discussions, and correspondence with Out end, Riad been finally settled and the anoney.paid. Probably the Council might expect to have heard something on the . subject of the finances of the Corporation, which had been ,Ueussed so much at the last meeting, and which had beau veferred to the Finance Committee. That committee held a special meeting for the purpose of taking the subject into consideration ; but it seemed the opinion 7 10 f ok ge ir n u tlemen there, and they were probably right , that at the expression of opinion which had been given by many gentlemen in Council upon that subject, and considering that they were on the eve of the period 'when they should have to submit the usual summary of accounts—that in e, very few weeks they should have 1 the whole statement a accounts before them—it was thought better to postpone 4lie matter, especially as the 'Town-clerk was then absent, and therefore there was / 1 0 official report on the subject then to be submitted. Ile was not aware of any other circumstance of import 4thee in the general proceedings except those to which he had called attention, and therefore concluded by Iroving the confirmation of the proceedings. Alderman COOPER seconded the motion. Alderman WOODRUFF wished to call attention to a latter, in reference to the widening of Park-lane. He congratulated the Finance Committee on having effected a great improvement in that neighilcurhood ; but called :attention to the fact of the old parapet remaining pre cisely where it was, although the buildings had teen set h ack, so that the public had not received any advantage , f rom the c harge, and accidents were daily taking place. If the matter were remitted to Mr. Newlands, he could remote fthe obstruction, and make t he alteration re q uired 4 11 twenty-four hours. • The proceedings were then confirmed. THE CLEHIC. pE THE PEACE'S FEES. IAYOR said there ?Fes a letter from the Secretary of state for the Home Department, suggesting £l,OOO a - year as a salary for the Clerk of the Peace. Was it the pleasure of the Council that it should be read. 1 (" The TOWN-CLERK then.read as follows : Whitehall, 16th August, 1860. , Sllt4-1 am directed by Secretary Sir George Lewis to acknow edge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, and to 'return to you herewith the tables of fees (in duplicate) pro :Poeezl to be in future received by the Clerk of the Peace for The borough of Liverpool, with Sir George Lewis's approval of the same certified under his -hand. With respect to the resolution of the Town Council trans; tnitted in your letter of the Ist instant, recommending that the 'C'lerk of the Peace for the borough of Liverpool be paid by ealary in lieu of fees, and that each salary should be DM per annum, I am to acquaint you for the information of the Town Council that Sir George Lewis is o f opinio u pptt a salary of •C 1,003 per annum to the Clerk of the Peace for the boroug4 of Liverpool will be a fair amount for all fees of every descriptien, the Council paying the printing, advertising, and stationery, And tindin g a repository for the records, -b u t not d e f ra yi ng the 14 xpenses of his clerks or office of business, and Sir George 1 4Pwis has little doubt ,that the new table of fees will be amply ‘uffl ne , ^ reimburse the Corporation ; but if it should ta • '.e, the fees can Igo -.4,0. - to the required In out to be otnerv4.4.. 4 ' 4 ount. for the cowl neorge Lewis requests that yo u WILL _ cleration of the Town Council his recommendation that, Clerk of the Peace for the borough of Liverpool be paid a salary ( 4 ' £l,OOO per annum in lieu of all fees, &c., except as before tioceified.-1 have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, G. Cum (Signed) Mr. JEFFERY said he thought it desirable that that letter should be referred to the Finance Committee. I ! e fore any discussion took place upon tha t S c lieet, th ere should be some report upon it by a committee; 4M that committee, it appeared to him, should be the Financ e Committee. He thought it would be rather crude to discuss it then. Probably the Town-Clerk " 141 d give them some information. He saw by the Dahlia prints that a discussion, as it was called, 104 ta ken place in St. George's-hall, before the Recorder, a s to the table of fees and the crier of the cot. The TowN-CLERIC said he had seen the report refer - I - I V to, and there was some mistake is the mind of the • 14 ecorder. The fees to the crier had always been but amongst the fees to the Clerk of the Peace; ;it it w as never i n t en d e d t o a b ro gate them in any way. Then he saw that in the paper, he had sent to see if t he Recorder was in town or not, that he might have a l i ) a ets bnal interview with him, and put him right; but e bad left town. ePuty JEFFERY—I see the duty of crier is done - by The TOWN-CLERK — Yes. 1 1‘ , t r. WOODRUFF—IS that legal ? tt4e TOWN-CLERK—Yes. ldernen TURNER could not see any adva nta g e in re fl 'erl 'in the letter of Sir Q. C. Lewis. The F i n ance 34 inii ttee had sent up a deptation to him on the 3°4 ; 410 When they left they had every rea son to " that the salary would be fixed at 801 ) PPose +iT ROBERTSON' asked if the table of fees was calcu- eel to produce only 800 ? The TowN-CLERK—Yes. 01 -1 ;:1 1 '• ).vrso N —Supposing the salary of the Clerk of 'ath e f eace is fixed at a certain sum, would the sum ps' criei is entitled to be paid to the Cler k of the eace , ?• • • th a The TO WN - CLERK said it would be paid as part of b e °Bt of p rosecut i ons , in 'the 'nine .way as it was fo re charged in the bill.

Mr. BECKWITH—It is not uncommon among lawyers to use strong language. (Laughter.) Mr. STEWART said he was really so bothered with this question, and unfamiliar with its details, that if he put a question which the Town-clerk thought ridiculous he hoped he would excuse him. Suppose the table of fees produced much less than the salary, were they not bound to pay the £BOO a year, even if the fees fell short, ? The TOWN-CLERK--Yes, sir. Mr. STEWART said—lf that were so, he was at a loss to understand what the Clerk of the Peace troubled his head about the fees for. (Hear, hear.) He could not understand what he had to do with the fees. He had only to do with the question of whether the salary should be £BOO or £l,OOO. They had been six years in getting the slow gentlemen connected with Government to fix on a salary. It appeared now as if the Recorder had to give his consent to it. How many more people had to consent to it? (A laugh.) The TowE-CLERK could not understand how the dis cussion before the Recorder had taken the turn which it did. The application which he bad instructed counsel to make to the court was this. The accounts for prose cutions had been all seftled with the Treasury up to December last, but they had not been able to send the others, because the Clerk of the Peace refused to give up orders of the court, pretending they had' not paid him the table of fees. He (town clerk) had gone carefully through the fees, and came to the conclusion that they had paid him fees to which he was not legally entitled. The application was, that as he was an officer of the Court, the Court should order him to give up those papers, and bow the discussion should have taken the turn which it appeared to have done he could not understand at present. Under the Act of Parliament the Council was to recommend the payment of a salary to the Clerk of the Peace, and also to recommend the amount, and the Secretary of State was to fix the salary. Alderman BRAMLEY-MOORE said they had got into a rather irrevalent discussion as to the point in dispute with the Clerk of the Peace. The point really at issue, and which they were called upon to discuss, was the £l,OOO a-year ; therefore he should sink minor points, and endeavour to bring the Council back to the true state of affairs. This he could do without presumption, having been a party to the original arrangement in 1844. He thought they should not at once assent to the proposition of the Home Secretary, as they ought to be the best and most competent judges of what their officers ought to receive. It was the glory of our land that our freedom rests mainly upon our municipal action ; and he thought if we were not to govern our selves, we should be very badly governed if we had to apply for counsel and direction to the higher authorities in London. He thought it desirable that a power should be reserved by the imperial government to control under certain circumstances, the government of the municipal authorities; but in ordinary matters he main tained that they were the best judges of what was for the weal of the town, and the best judges of how their own officers ought to be remunerated. And he thought, when this matter was properly brought before Sir G. C. Lewis, he would readily consent to the liberal recom mendation of that Council. Now he should, as briefly .s he possibly could, explain the true state of this busi ness. As well as he could remember; the Clerk of the Peace was appointed in 1844. He was a party to that arrangement, and therefore might state what really took place. When the vacancy occurred, Mr. Wright, along with others-etwo or three others—were candidates to fill the office of Clerk of the Peace. He ought first to state that the Town-clerk who preceded their present one, then held both offices—those of Town-clerk and Clerk of the Peace. He was remunerated by the Corporation in his capacity of town-clerk, and there was an honourable understanding that the whole of the fees of the Clerk of the Peace should be handed over to the Corporation fund, and this was honourably carried out to the time of his death. On his death, when Mr. Wright was ap pointed, he was appointed on the honourable under standing that he was to receive a salary of £5OO per annum, and to hand over the surplus fees to the Cor poration fund. This went on for a considerable time, and he made application for increase of salary, which was most readily assented to,, and ,most liberally so, — the salary being advanced to about £7OO per annum, with the same understanding that the surplus fees should be paid into the Corporation fund ; and he believed that he himself had paid over those fees until 1852 ; but from 1852 to the present time he had paid nothing into the Corporation fund. Now, no cir cumstances whatever could alter that honourable under standing, which took place in 1844. It was perfectly true the Corporation could not enter into a; arrange ment with Mr. Wright upon parchment, because it would have been against the law : hence the necessity for entering into this honourable understanding. Well, this was carried out till 1852 ; and from that time to the present he believed the Corporation had not received anything from that officer. He (Mr. Moore) believed that Mr. Wright" had received above his salary the sum of £3,832. That sum, he maintained, was due- from him to the corporate treasury. He made this state ment with regret ; but, as an honourable man, Mr. Wright was indebted to the Corporation to that amount. Well, be would go on and say that a former committee had recommended that the Clerk of the Peace's salary should be £BOO per annum, and that exclusive of the expenses of paper, printing, and stationery. The chairman of the Finance Committee had just reminded him that this was the recom mendation as proposed by the Home Secretary. The Finance Committee recommended that the salary should be £7OO per annum, and that also included the item for rent and everything except the item for clerks. lie felt perfectly assured that the salary of £BOO per annum as offered by the Corporation was a very liberal offer and a most ample remuneration for the extra duties the Clerk of the Peace LAW t o discharge. It must be borne in mind that the time of the Clerk of the Peace was not entirely occupied in fulfilling the duties of the office ; and it must also be borne in mind that it did not preve nt him from taking private practice, and whether the ei4ce of Clerk of the Peace was or was not a benefit to such pri7.ate practice, he must leave to those who were more acquainted with that point than he was himself. Well, as he had the benefit of that private practice, which be (Mr. Moore) believed no other servant of the Corporationoo w enjoyed, a mostjoyed,he th o ught the recommendat i on 9i i ample remuneration for the Pe* oaf the Yea , e o . L et them look to the salaries p aid to the other servants of the Corporation. He believed the head clerk to what the ' magistrates had only £ 7OO p er annum. But salary did the head of the court, in which Mr. Wright sat es a servant, get ? He was only paid £5OO per annum, and 41:0 for all extra sessions; and assuming that there were six extra sessioU.s ilt the year, even then his salary would only be equal to that of the Clerk of the Peace. The Home S ecre tary had recommended that the salary s h ou ld be £l,OOO per annum. But he believed he should be cor rect in stating that, in addition to his enjoying the pri vilege pf his private practice, he was in the receipt of other fees, tiesidea tl.e salary which was paid to him by the Corporation—fees tiiiat he receiyed from Mint cases, and for appeal cases, tried at the sessions. The TowN-CLERK—Suppose that the Clerk of the Peace is paid by salary, all the fees which he has been in t 4 *it of receiving will be paid to the borough fund. Mr. Alderman BRAMLEy-740ORE—Then what is the amount he has received, and which would go over to the funds of the Corporation. Can you giye 4.1 any approximation as to the amount ? The TOWN-CLERK—I cannot. Alderman BRAMLEY-MOORE—It is quite clear that he has Came fees in addition to his salary. He is in receipt of certain fees over and above what he is paid as salary. The TOWN-CLERK—If his salary is fixed he will have to account for all those fees. Alderman. BRAMLEY-MOORE, in continuation, said he did not think 4 would be worth occupying the time of of the Council with further discussion on the point. He had given them a brief epitome of the case from the time of the appointment of the Clerk of the Perwe, and he should suggest that the whole case should be placed before the Home Secretary. There was no doubt but that Sir qeorg,e C. T•ewis, both as a man of business and would properly and carefully ' honourable ran, ren,w factson take a proper view of the him. There had been placed before h • a resolution passed an question, by the Council that the salary should be fixed at £800; therefore, he (Alderman Bramley-Moore) would suggest that this ,Council take such measures as the y ma y think proper to place the 001 C of the facts before the Home Secretary, as to the 40 0 the Pie* of the Peace would be called upon to perform, and the remuneration which 4e ought to receive for his services. Mr. lEITERY said, probably as chairman of the com mittee which had been appointed by the Council during the negotiations with Mr. Wright, he might state that they had desired him to furnish tllOl4 with an account pf the fees received over the period of t1:0! which Mr. Braraley-Moore bad T amed to: gr. Wright had decliged to do so ; they told - him their object wa ve s to adjust the differences between them aq ar as they able to do, and as the Horne Secretary bad r ecom m ended his salary to be £BOO a year, they should h ave ad j usted the accounts upon that basis, and not upon the £660 which had been hitherto paid. The committee there fore took into consideration and proposed that the basis of the negotiation should be £BOO a year. lie felt it his duty, as chairman of the committee, to ascertain if, possible, seeing that the Clerk of the PeaCe had re fused to give them information, what the additional fees might be estimated at, and he believed they would exceed the amount which he mentioned—they would exceed SISQ a: year. Now, if they exceeded £lso a year over a period of seven Years, excluding this year; that added to the sum which Mr.' Bratnley.:Moore bad quoted would make the amount about £4,850, or probably, in road numbers, £5,000. • The interest on that, at 4 per cent., would give him £2OO a year ; and, from the spirit which he had hitherto manifested, he, did not think that he would return the sum which Mr. Bramley-Moore had stated he had unduly recciTad, and, 414 1149 11 9RM* PP, he ought to disgorge. But seeing no disposition of that kind, it represented in perpetuity a salary of £2OO a year to him and his family ; so that if they gave him £BOO a year, his income would , be £l,OOO in spite of anything the Council could do. He' thought, therefore,'that if a proper representation were made again to Sir G. C. Lewis, it would be attended with success. The MAYOR said, that of course he could not have the slightest objection to their sending up a deputation again ; but he could, as one of the deputation whO had gone, confirm what Mr. Turner had stated. They had gone very fully ink the matter before Sir George Lewis ; they had first stated the different salaries which the Clerk of the Peace had agreed to take—£soo, increased to 1;660, then increased to £7OO, and, on the recommen dation of Mr. Secretary Walpole, that it ought to be increased to £BOO, their present offer was based. They had then showed that in comparison with other corporate salaries, £BOO was an ample salary ; they had showed that the Clerk of the Peace at Manchester has only WO a year—(hear, hear)—and the deputation felt that they had made an impression upon Sir George Lewis. With Mr. Turner, he confessed that he felt disappointed•at the communication now made,; they should have been glad of the assistance of two gentle men—the chairman of the Finance Committee and Mr. Gladstone—who were not present, but he did not think that the matter could have been stated more fully. The Town-clerk was present, and went into it at great length. He was afraid, and he though Mr. Turner would agree with him, that no great result would be got by another deputation; still, if it were the pleasure of the Council to send up another deputation, he had not the slightest objection. Mr. MOZLEY asked if the fees of the Clerk of the Peace's office, and for mint prosecutions, would merge into the borough fund, would the Clerk of the Peace have nothing but his salary ? The TOWN-CLERK—He would receive the fees, but they would all come to the borough fund. Mr. MozLEY said that Government would alter the table of fees so as to make it commensurate with the amount of salary. After the explanation given by his Worship he felt that they would do little good by dis cussing this question over in the Council. If he under stood rightly, the power of fixing the salary was abso lately vested in the Home Secretary ; consequently, the recommendation of the Council would amount to nothing more than what was already done, and which had received the sanction of the Home Secretary. Under those circumstances he felt that to send a deputation to London, - or to raise the question again of MO per annum, Would be to some degree useless. Re therefore ventured to suggest that they refer back to the Finance Committee the letter of the Home Secretary, for them to take such a course as they thought best. It would relieve the Connell of the responsibility of sending up a deputation, and it would narrow the question. It would almost be better for the Council to accept the Home Secretary's recommen dation, and to get this vexed question set at rest, and thus do away with the acrimonious feelings which it had eTcited among several members of the Council. He therefore nioved that the letter be referred back to the Finance Committee, Mr. AVISON seconded the motion. It appeared to him that no further good could possibly accrue from their discussion. He fancied that the Home Secretary had had all the facts before him. Mr. JEFFERY.—Mr. Turner told you that he left with the impression that the salary was to be fixed at £BOO a year. Mr. Avisom said ke 4qd then the whole of the facts before him. The Secretary of State had 4044 after hearing all that could be urged, for fixing the salary at £1,090 a year. He thought.he had been very bountiful to the Clerk of the Peace. He was the arbitrator in the matoF,, and he had given his award, and they must be bound by it. t appeared that the Clerk of the Peace had the option so long as the question was unsettled of pocketing the fees himself. Therefore, the longer the - question was kept open the larger the sum which would go into his pocket, assuming, of course, that the gilarY 4C.4 fees would amount to £l,OOO a year. There was one question which he wished to say a word upon. When the Clerk of the Peace was originally appointed, there was no act of Parliament•which gave power to make an arrangement appointing him at £5OO a year. In 1851, there was an act, and it was under that act the application was made to the Secretary of Stat,l lx the salary. Mr. Wright did not consider himself bound by tb.c 4rrangement which had been referred to. Each man could best judge for bintself, and he (Mr. Avison) should not have taken the course followed by the Clerk of the Peace. It appeared to him, however, that the Secretary of State having said t h e 62 4 4 7 Should be £l,OOO they could do nothing but assent. _ _ Mr. STEWART, addressing the 1 1 9 74 -**, appFe 7 hended it was entirely optional with the Council whether they paid a salary or not. (Town-clerk : " Yes,") And if he understood right, the table of fees had been calcukted to proclilce £BOO a year ? The Towx-CLERK.--_-The £BOO a year, and the cost of printing and stationery. Mr. STEWART said that was the lower scale of fees. Now, he could not understand why the Corporation were to undertake the risk, and give a guarantee for a certain amount. lie saw no compulsion ; and if they were not bound he should rot be a party to the payment of £l,OOO. Let the Clerk of the Peace take his fees. • The MAYOR-Mr. Stewart, might I ask you to con sider that the Council came to a resolution that it is expedient the Clerk of the Peace should be paid by salary. Mr. STEWART said, that the Connell adopted such a resolution was true, but they adopted it on the gilder standing that the salary should be £BOO. Alderman J. BRAMLBY-MOORE really did not see any use in referring the matter back to the Finance Com mittee. Any resolution would come with more weight from the Council itself. He would go to the root of the evil at once. If we were not compelled to pay a salary, he would not give anything. If he understood the Town-Clerk aright, they were not compelled to do so; and if it be so, he should let the Clerk of the Peace receive the fees on the new scale, and withhold the salary altogether ; for it had been well said by the chairman of the Finance Committee, why should the Corporation guarantee a salary, more especially after what had been said on this subject. He would come at once to the point. They should take action themselves, and not refer it to the committee—take action at once, and say i4Qy would not give a salary ; or that they would make a further recommendation to the rfome Secretary to reduce it to £BQO. Mr. ROBERTSON said gr. Bramley-Moore and Mr. Stewart should remember that as business might increase, the fees would double in amount. Mr. Mo7Ami said lie lia4 placed in the hririris of the Town-clerk a alight deviation from the original motion, and that he now wished to submit. The Town-clerk then read the resolution, as follows : " That in the opinion of this Council the sum of £l,OOO, recommended by the Secretary of State as the salary of the Clerk of the Peace, is more than an ade quate remuneration for the duties performed by that officer; that it adheres to its recommendation of £BOO per an4uu4, a s affording a must, lihcral salary for those duties; and that the 'letter' tho Secietarl of State now read be 'referred tb the 1 1 '411'$:dice' COmfrattee, With instructions to take such steps as they think fit; 'with the view of giving effect to the wishes of the Counbil." • Alderman BRAMLEY-MOORE said he saw no objection to that. Mr. CLARKE AsPrriArSupposing the Council say, "We won't pay the Clark of the Peace a salary at all," would he fall baek upon the new or the old scale of fees ? The TOWN-CLERK--.I don't think he cctild fall back ife added that in strict law the upon the las old t ratis;eadlew: was ill e only legal table ip twee ; ht l it the Council should understand the circumstances under which they had fixed that table. - Besides, the Secre tary of State had their resolution that the Clerk of the Peace should be pa id by salary, and so long as that remained he had the power of fixing the salary. Mr. CHARLES TURNER—And this remains,—that the Home Secretary agreed to that table of fees, having your resolution before him. /gr. Mozley's motion, as amended, was then put and unanimously - agreed to. THE WATCH C ONIIIII7F.• The proceedings, res'elutions, and reports of the Watch, Lighting, Pire-poliCe, Fire Prevention, Hut.: neY Carriage, Licensing, and Gas Committees, com prised a reComruenclation to rate to the ighting and Fire-police Rates those owners of property who have refused to compound for such rates. Mr. CLINT moved the confirmation of the proceedings, and mentioned that Colonel Woodford, the Government Inspector, who had been present last week, and reviewed the fope, eprPgqd generally in I:.err fa 1 : °11 r" able terms of the Police of this town. Je was sure it would be satisfactory to the Council and the town generally. Mr. JOHNSON. seconded the motion. Mr. SEI:FERT should like to know whether OM 1 10 any printed Instructfona for the gqiclance of that portion of the force understood to be the fire brigade; wh eth q there were any particular instructions ; whether they undergo drill, and hour freqnentli they are put through that exercise ; also, what is the nature of it , 'he *Avon said no douht the Chairman of the Watch Committee would answer that question. Mr. °TINT thought he had some reason to complain of Mr. Jeffery not having given notice of his intention to ask such questions ; but he had a document at hand , which would enable him to reply. _ At each of the five stations there were three firemen turucocks, one being always on duty day and night. These men were held responsible for the efficient discharge of their duties. These fire-turncocks, instead of busying themselves in getting out the engines or reels, at once proceeded to the place vfhere the fire was, and hUsied themselves it betting a supply of water. was siirprised 6 see in'a report the'other day, made by a snb L comini'ttee 'to the Water Committee, but which had not been confirmed by the general cQ uirgittee, an apegatiou which, on the part of the Watch Committee, he felt it his duty altogether to deny. It seemed altogether an irregular report ; it had n9t received the sanction of the Water Committee, and why it should find its way into the papers—more particularly reflecting rather seriously as it did upon the affairs of the police force —he was at a loss to know. The committee felt aggrieved at seeing such a report; and had requested him, as their chair man, to give that allegation a denial. He had great objection to coming into collision with any other com mittee of the Council ; but when charges of that nature were made, without, as he thought, proper considera tion, he thought there was no course left but to take that notice which he had now done. He could only assure the Council generally, that the Watch Committee give perhaps more attention to that branch of service than any other, seeing the great importance of having it in a state of efficiency. The three tire-turncocks were in attendance, and immediately attended every locality where a fire breaks out. They were on the spot as soon as possible to get a supply of water , and he did not think that any amendment or improvement could be made in that respect. He hoped this answer would be satisfactory to Mr. Jeffery and the Council. Mr. JEFFERY must state that he did not consider the answer that had been given at all satisfactory. It was not an answer to his question. The question that he had asked was, whether the fire brigade received drill--whether they received especial instructions, and the answer he received was, that there was three turn cocks at all the stations. Mr. BFLOE was greatly surprised at the position taken by Mr. Clint. There was not one word of that report which he, as the chairman of the sub-committee, had had the honour of making a draft of, contained a single reflection on the Watch Committee, and as it was lying at the Town-clerk's office, that gentleman could, if he had thought proper, have made himself acquainted with its contents. The only portion of the report to which allusion could be made was this :—lt said, " but it does not appear from the evidence whose duty it was to instruct the fire police." When the evidence of the men came before the Council they would find such questions as these—" How are you instructed?" The answer was, "We get up our infor mation the best we can, and experience teaches us a great deal." Now, he must say that he was surprised that a man of Mr. Cliut's intelligence took the course he had done, and made use of irregular reports from a newspaper. What he should have done would have been to have awaited quietly until the whole report had been brought forward and discussed. Mr. CHARLES TURNER said he would tell the chairman of the Watch Committee that the Water Committee was most desirous that the report should not be published Ii until such a time as it had been fully discussed in the committee. They were desirous that it should not appear in the papers until the whole matter had been fully ven tilated, because they thought that until it had been dis cussed and considered that it might reflect upon indi vidual charaeters ; and so desirous was the Water Committee that it should not appear, that he had himself requested the reporters not to publish it, and he thought that they left the room with that understanding ; but through some means a report had appeared, which was far from correct, and upon that incorrect data Mr. Clint had based his arguments. Mr. Alderman DOVER begged to he permitted to, put a question to Mr. Jeffery relative t o w h at steps had been taken in regard to the public offices. (Laughter.) The Mayon—You are out of order in putting such a question ; it is not on the minutes. [As the Water Committee particularly requested that neither the brief discussion which took place upon the reading of the report nor the report itself should be published until it had been regularly discussed, in order that the " antidote," as Mr. Chas. Turner had observed, " might go forth with the poison, - the reporter complied with the request, but our contem poraries did not do so.] The proceedings of the Watch Committee were then confirmed. THE HEALTH COM*ITTEE. The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the Health Committee, comprised a recommendation to rate to the Sanitary and Improvement Rates those owners of property who have refused to compound for such rates ; and a recommendation to appoint Mr. William Swift Inspector of Smoke Nuisances, at per annum. On the motion of M. Alderman Dover, the above recommendations were unanimously adopted. The MAYOR said he had received a letter from the West Derby Board of Health, and perhaps it would be better to have the letter read. The TOWN-CLERK then read the letter, including an extract from the proceedings of that board, and was to the effect, that ar, the board were about to make some new drainage, which would to some extent interfere with the borough drainage, they expressed a desire that the Corporation would permit them to have the services of Mr. Newlands, the borough engineer, in the con struction of such drainage. Mr. HODUsON thought the letter should he referred to the Health Committee. Alderman DOVER moved a resolution to that effect. Mr. SHEIL did not see the necessity for referring the letter to the Health Oommittee, because it was one that the council must decide. The application in the letter for the assistance of the borough engineer, involved a great principle. It must be manifest to the whole town that Mr. Newlands hack as much as he could pro perly attend-to in the town ; and he did hope, thp4 ;be Counoil would not consent to his performing duties in other places. Again, there was a large staff connected with the borough engineer's department, and he objected that the services of their servants should be devoted to other parties, to the injury of the ratepQyers, Mr. Alderman BENNETT expressed a wish that the letter should be referred to the committee, and that it should be properly considered and discussed, and that then the committee would be in a position to report upon the subject. Mr. Alderman DOVER said he would withdraw his motion. (Cries of "No, no ;we will not allow you.") Alderman BENNETT, in continuation, said that he hoped that the Council would accede to the request, and permit the borough engineer to render the West Derby Board all the assistance in his power. Mr. J. A. TOBIN was very much in favour of the e tt er being referred to the committee, and he, was also sure that any service rendered by Mr. Newlands would be most advantageous to that board. The application w as for his valuable assistance in preparing the drainage. That was a most important subject, and required a great deal of consideration. Mr. CLINT concurred in the sentiments which had been uttered by Mr. Sheil. The question involved wars one of principle. It, no doubt, was essential that in making drainage it was necessary to have best infor mation, and that could be had from :fir. Newlands and his staff; but whether or not he was to receive pa for ,y it, was another point. Mr. ifITTLELIALE thought the Council should mu ,_ ply with the request, and let Mr. Newlands continue to do all that he could to benefit the community. Mr. J. R. JEFFERY fully appreciated the talents and abilities possessed by Mr. Newlands and the services he rendered the Board of Health for Toxteth Park of whi c h board he (Mr. Jeffery) was a member, thought that if it did not interfere to . much with his dit ties that 1-,te should be allowed to give his services. There w as one thing, boweier, which he did not agree with, and that was, he could not see that there was any necessity f or three gentlemen to go to Scotland to, the Social Science Meeting. There, were three going, Dr. Du ncan, mr. Newlands, and Mr. M‘Gowan. He could not see that either the lawyer or the doctor were required. Mr. Alderman DOVER protested against Mr. Jeffery going into the domestic characters of their officers. After a few words from Mr. Alderman Parker, Mr. C. Aspinall, Mr. Avison, and Mr. Weedy?, Mr. Alder4an Doynit begged to say u few words in reply. He might have been led to take a different view of this question, if ho had not recollected the treatment Liverpool received from these out-tow ns hi ps some time ago. It was proposed that an act of Parlia ment should be applied for, and that all the places adjacent to Liverpool should be included in it for sani tary purposes. But no sooner was it proposed than meetings were held at Garston, Walton, Aigburth, an d West Derby, and for ten miles round, and the eo9ora tion was held up to odium by them all, because a * as thought right that there' should be one act, and that those ryas 'shOtild t P 4 a portion of the expe nses. They wanted to get the benefit of Mr. Neti at o: s experience and knowledge, hnt they were not willing to pay for it, nor for the expenses of the large staff under him. That was their conduct, and now they came cap in hand and criedpeceavi. Such had been the conduct of the out-townships, and he did not believe that they had yet repented of their folly. Mr. CHARLES TURNER—Yeg, they - 13,M. 410,qman DolErt said—Under all the circum stances of the case, he should support the motion, that the letter lie on the table. The Council then divided on the motion for refgri ng the letter to the Health COmmitte, which was carried by 2i to 11 The folloving was the voting : For referring the letter—Councillors S.heil, Barton, Littledale, Tyrer, Turner, Estill, Avisoa, Steains4 Graves, Jeffreys, Tobin, S,olutson, decry, godson, Beckwith, Steel, liobertson, 'Vernon, Livingston; Alder men Bennett, Preston, Parker, J . , H. Turner, Woodruff, and the Mayor. Against it : C ounc ill ors A sp i va ll, H a y dock-, Clerk, Bowring, Beloe, Nickson, Aikin, Clint, Cropper ; Alder man Dover and Houghton. THE HEALTH OF THE TOWN. Mr. Alderman DO V ER said, in moving the confirmation of the general proceedings of the Health Committee, he could but allude to some remarks made in the Registrat- General's repo - it in reference to LiverpoOr. appeared that the assertions had been made without sufficient inquiry, and were perfectly erroneous as' to facts. it,here, was no doubt that M a, pla ce lik e tiverpocki thew wasa great number of deaths,' bikt, iu ‘?„ l aT,, , ,f,f,aiy point of view there were fevi pla.co to equal it. Ey the returns, they found that the death -rate for the little agricultural village of Eastbourne was 15 in the 1,000; but what did they find, that in Liverpool the death-rate was only 171 in the 1,000. It was clear that with such a rate of mortality, only 1717 Liverpool was not so bad as it had (MI j'_i rJI THE DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,.1860. been represented. He hoped that that statement would be published to the world. There was no doubt that Liverpool had, at one time, stood in a very unenviable position in a sanitary point of view ; but she had gone on gradually improving, for in 1837 they found that the death-rate was at 39 in the 1,000, and now it was only 171. This statement should be made known, and it was only fair that the London papers which had pub lished the Registrar-General's statement should these facts. He hoped also that the ratepayers would consider these facts, and not be again deceived. The committee had spent nearly four millions of money, and everything had been done that could be fur the improvement of the sanitary state of the town. Mr. Dover, then, in reply to the observation made by Mr. Jeffery, said it was perfectly true that Dr. Duncan, Mr. Newlands, and Mr. M'Gowan were about to attend the Social Science meeting in Glasgow, and he knew that such visits were of great advantage to the town, and he was surprised that Mr. Jeffery should have alluded to it in the manner he had done. Those gentlemen did not drive the committee to any expense; they paid all their own expenses; and by so doing rendered great and valuable services to the town, as they got informa tion at such gatherings which was extremely useful. In conclusion, he said he had been requested by the Health Committee to complain of the want of accom modation at the Cornwallis-street offices, and to request an answer 89 to what pusition they stood in in reference to the new public offices in Dale-street, and whether it was likely that there would be soon any steps taken on that point. The MAYOR said it would be out of order to answer that question until the Finance Committee had sent up their report. Mr. BELOE thanked Mr. Dover for affording himself and the public so much valuable information as to the state of the town in a sanitary point of view. He urged upon the committee the desirability of having the most accurate returns, and suggested that in consequence of the great number of strangers who visited Liverpool (20,000 at least.) that there should be a distinction made in the returns of those who had only lived seven days in the one place, and those who might be considered as the real inhabitants. Mr. BOWRTNU thought that considerable benefits would accrue from the visits of the three gentlemen to the Social Science meetings. Mr. CROPPER said that at the last meeting of the association, at Bradford, he had attended, and be could assure them it was a most painful exhibition to hear the hour's discussion between Mr. Theodore Rathbone and Mr. M'Gowan, in reference to the lodging-house ques tion. That squabble lasted for upwards of an hour, and he hoped that if suoh another scene was to be enacted, that none of their officers would be permitted to take part in it. Mr. Clint was proceeding to comment upon the Health Committee sending their servants to Social Science meetings, when Mr. DOVER said—We do not send anybody. Those three gentlemen go in their own time, and pay their own expenses. It was all very well for persons to make statements and say that the committee had sent them, : e nd then base their own argurneLts upon such asser tions. The committee had not, nor did they intend to send anybody. The general proceedings were then confirmed. ST. GEORGE'S HALL COMMITTEE. The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the Courts of Law and St. George's Hall Committee comprised 1. A recommendation to adopt the plan and estimates submitted by the Surveyor for a fiooring for St. George's Hall, at a cost not exceeding £4OO. 2. A recommenda tion to adopt a scale of charges for the use of St. George's Hall for concerts, which was to the effect that, for cheap concerts, the Hall should be let for 16 guineas, and the next price should be £2l, and the highest £2B. On the motion of Alderman J. H. Turner the pro ceedings were confirmed. THE MARKETS COMMITTEE. On the motion of 'Att.. Alderman Woodruff, the pro ceedings of this committee were read and confirmed; stud it was stated that during the past year there had been an increase in the revenue of something like £1,400. Everything connected with the markets was going on most satisfactorily. THE CLOSING Or THE MARKETi. A memorial, signed by 2,459 persons, requesting that the markets should be kept open until eleven o'clock on Saturday night, instead of closing them at ten—on the ground that it would be a great boon to the working classes, who laboured under considerable disadvantages from not being able to get their provisions from the market—was read. Mr. Alderman Cooper moved, and Mr. Shimmin seconded, a resolution that the memorial be l'eferred to the Markets Committee. Mr. T.ivi 7 nzston moved, and Mr. Aspinall seconded, an amendment to the effect that it be left on the table. Mr. VERNON protested against a petition, signed by so many working people, being treated in that way. It was the working classes who performed the work—it was they who tilled the Corporation exchequer—and therefore they had a right to be treated with respect. After a brief discussion, Mr. Alderman WOODRUFF said the memorial was essentially a working man's memorial. The Council divided, when it was decided that the memorial should be referred to the committee. The voting was as follows Eor----Mr. Clarke Aspinall, Mr. Edward Estill, Mr. Thom Avisou, Mr. James Steains, Mr. David Rae, Mr. Henry C. Beloe, Mr. Samuel R. Graves, Mr. Thos. Ridley, Mr. John H. Wilson, Mr. T. Ll. Hodson, Mr. Francis A. Clint, Mr. James Robertson, MP. J. %V. Cropper, Mr. J. G. Livingston, Aldermen William Preston, J. Hayward Turner, and the Mayor. Against—Mr. Richard Sheil, Mr. Roger Haydock, Mr. John Shimmin, Mr. William Barton, Mr. James Tyrer, Mr. W. P. Jeffreys, Mr. George Nickson, Mr. R. M. Beckwith, Mr. Thomas Vernon, Aldermen Thos. Dover, Joseph cooper, Jan Woodruff; and R. W. Houghton, conmITTEW APPORTS, The, proceedings of the , following committees were than read and paused without the slightest comment : Education Committee ; the Gaol and Rouse of Correc tion Committee; the Town-hall Establishment Com mittee; the Gardens, Library, and Museum Committee; the Water Committee ; the Baths Committee ; and the Audit Committee. THE CORON . E33.,'S ACCOUNT, The Coroner's account, amounting to £59, was then qrdere4 to b,e paid. INCREASE OP SALARIES. The application from Mr. Thomas Poole and Mr. C. Robinson for an increase in their salaries, were referred to the Finance Committee. The whole of the business baying been disposed of, the Council separated. SERIOUS CIA.RGE' AGAINST A ROLIGENIA N. DEATH OF A WOMAN FROM ALLEQED VIOLENCE, An [invest will he held, to-day, at the Coroner's Court, on the body of a woman, who died yesterday under the following circumstances :—lt appears that, some weeks ago, a drunken row occurred in London road, amongst some men and a number of fallen women. A constable was called, who attempted to take the deceased, who appeared to be the ringlead er , into custody. Assisted by the mob of girls, 19,er companions, she strenuously opposed, hie_ efforfs . , and the constable whisqed fox aid s , which was soon rendered. In the meantime, however, the constable was rather roughly h;indled ; it appears that he was trod upon and unmer cifully kicked, the violence resulting in a rupture, from which he suffered for a considerable period. In the conflict he drew his baton and struck the deceased on the head. She fell, and seeing her fall, the crowd yelled fearfully. She was immediately , con veyed to the Royal Infirmary, where she received every attention. Next day,, however, she expressed a strong desire to be . releaSed; and at her earnest and repeated solicitations, she, was diischarged at the expiration o two days. At thattiro:,it would appear she was still suffering severely from the effects of the blow on the head, find also from bruises on the It is ;Alerted that she has since been seen in a d iAn ken state about the streets. However, she died yesterday, and we are told that Major Greig has ordered the constable into custody. Various rumours are circulated about the matter. How far the constabl e i s ans werable for the death will be seen tc-clay at the inquest. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS. ANOTHER DISGRACEFI,T.L S.CE. The usual weekly meeting of the cot DPrby Board of Guardians Was held yesterday, in the Board-room, a t the W,.erki.tor.q. The chair was occupied by M r . *yes. The other members present were Messrs. W. Edwards, Ledger, Pilling, Wareham, Roberts, Abra hams, Roscoe, Medealf, Richmond, Smith, Shaw, and Garratt. Mr. Gough reported, the number of paupers in the house to be---dr.,st week-308 ; admitted since, 16 ; born, I discharged, 5 : total, 320. Corresponding week of last year, 275. Cheques for out-door relief were issued as follow : Mr. Potts, £ll2 ; Mr. Roberton, £3B ; and M r. Lythgoc, £22. After the usual f or mal business had been compl e t e d , a scene, scarc e ly equa ll e d i n th e days when the guardians were in their b es t fi g hti ng t r im, occurred, and the board room assumed the appearance of d'bear-garden rather than of an asylum for the poor and aged, and the guardians had more of the appearance of bears in an arena than of ivell;edueated 'gentlemen having the control, the managenient, or the guardianship (4 a bole parish in their bands. F or a eOnsiderable sPce of rime the whole . affair, M ore ' a ppr o p r iately designated h ear - t i ght, (whilst to describ e it b or ders an the impossibl e ,) was anwinl4 to recorded in any journal. Everybody eape charges against ever` body else; and everybody else in return eithe r c h eer ed or jeered, or threw b ac k indignities into everybody's face. The veteran, 'ATI% Smith, took up his old gauntlets, and impugned the conduct of the Governor about some firkin of butter which the peaceful chairman desired him to ta s t e or weigh, or do any other delightful thing with ; er do r i og him at the same tim e , in a stentorianirOice, to k ee p silence. When the i4soya'afill ttibt, was at a n end the Rona 'ypilt;.' 4 the "business"eing YAClVicied, THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCASHIRE LINE ..' (FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.) The report which we published yesterday of the cir cumstances connected with this accident were substan tially correct, with the exception that it turns out that the number of wounded amounts to fifty-six, thirty eight of those injured having received contusions about the head and face, and twenty-four fractured limbs. The only wonder is, however, that a greater loss of life did not take place, for six of the carriages which ran back from Helmshore down the incline were literally smashed to pieces. There is a curve about fifty yards lower down the line than where the accident occurred, which would prevent the driver of an engine coming from the direction of Manchester seeing any carriages coming down the same line from an opposite direction. As soon as the third train (the one which ran into the carriages) rounded this curve, Ramsbottom, the driver of the engine, and Mr. Goodier, one of the inspectors under Mr. Shaw, saw the car riages advancing towards them. Ramsbottom at once . . shut off the steam, and did all he could to bring the train to a stand, hut as there was only a distance of 50 yards to do this in, and as the carriages kept running down the incline, his efforts were unavailing, except so far as they went to (limioi4 . l the force of the shock. Strange to say, that both Ramsbottom and Mr. Goodier escaped unhurt. It has been stated in some of the newspaper reports that the engine which Mr. Shaw took down the up-line, ran over some of the passengers and injured them. This statement is entirely untrue, as the engine proceeded at a very slow pace, and the whistle was blown all the way. The following is a correct list of those who were killed, which we were unable to furnish yesterday : KILLED. Richard Heap, mechanic, of Colne, aged 25 years. Has left a widow and five children. Starkey Harrison, tailor, of Barrowford, aged 21. Single man. Samuel Duckworth, beamer, of Ewood Bridge, aged 50. Has left a widow and eleven children, nine of whom are under age. John Hartley, labourer, of Accrington, aged 21. Single man. Thoma 9 Blythe, weaver, of Garden Dale, Colne, aged 24. Single man. Thomas Lofthouse, cotton spinner, of Huncoat, aged 64. He was a widower, and has left nine children. Mary Hayes, of Mangholeq, hand-loom weaver, 51 years of age. Unmarried. Alice Hartley, of Burnley, parer-loom weaver, aged 24, Unmarried. Mary Fell, of Darovrford, power-loom weaver, 19 years of age. Unmarried. iabella Hindle, of Buxendeu, 22 years of age, the wife of Thomas Hindle, collier. The number of wounded is about 66 ; and although many of the sufferers have received fractures, we are informed that none of them are in imminent danger. THE INQHEST. The inquest upon the bodies of the ten persons killed was opened yesterday at the Turner's Arms, Helmshore, before John Hargreaves, Esq., the coroner for the Black burn, hundred. Mr. Grundy, solicitor, of Bury, ap peared to watch the proceedings on the part of the East Lancashire Railway Company ; and Mr. Henwood of Manchester, on behalf of the friends of Samuel Duck worth and Isabella Hindle. The jury having been sworn, and Mr. John Hoyle appointed foreman, The Coroner said it was only his intention to take evidence as to identification that day, in order that the bodies might be removed, and interred as soon as practicable. The occurrence which had brought them together would require very strict investigation, and he had no doubt the jury would bestow the requisite trouble upon it in order to come to a satisfactory con clusion. The jury then went to view the bodies, and afterwards to inspect the place where the accident occurred. They were accompanied by Mr. Shaw, the passenger traffic sii,perintencient; Mr. Myles Fenton, the secretary to the company ; Mr. Newall, the carriage superintendent, and other officials. On their return the ocroaer pro ceeded to take evidence. Edward James Taylor, of Colna, the first witness called, identified the bodies of Richard Heap and Thos. Blythe. lie said he went from Colne on Monday morning along with Heap by an excursion train to go to Belle \rue Gardens. Heap left the Salford station by the second train, and he had intended to go with him, but whilst he was getting some refreshment the train went away, and he was left to go by the third train. The third train left the Salford station at a quarter after eleven o'clock as near as ha could . tell. The third train went on without any interruption, except calling at several stations, until they arrived at the spot where the catastrophe occurred. After the train had got about two miles past the , Ramsbottom station, he heard a crash, and as he felt that the train had come into collision with something, he jumped out of the carriage. He saw volumes of steam issuing fr,ora the engine in front ; people were rushing out of the car riages in various directions, screaming, and there was a general alarm amongst the. passengers. He saw two carriages broken to pieces, two thrown upan the embank ment, and several others were in a very shattered oondi tion. Many of the passengers were thrown out of the carriages, and he saw many lying amongst the fiag ments, both dead and alive. The passengers who were not injured got out of the third train, and rendered all the assistance they could. He recollected seeing three dead bodies di awn out from amongst the car riages. Richard Heap was taken out alive, but he died about five o'clock in the morning. Witness did not recognise him, but he told him his name. He was much injured about the bottom of his abdomen and his right thigh, and his left leg was twisted, and must have been broken. Vie collision took place about half-past twelve o'clock. He did not know how many carriages there were in the third train; but he counted the car riages which ran down the. incline, and there were sixteen of them. The carriages appeared to be very much crowded, but he did not know that they were overladen. He was in the fifth or sixth carriage from the engine, in the third train, and he only saw one carriage in that train which was much in- Jared, and that was the next to the engine. The two front wheels of the engine appeared to be off the rails ; the engine, boiler, and tender, were all injured, but he could not describe the injuries minutely. The train in which he was was running at the rate of from tea to fifteen miles an hour, and those in charge appeared to be acting cautiously, knowing that trains hadgone 'be fore. There were five carries broken that he had assisted to rescue t 4 pikssengers from. He thought it only prop,er te n state that Mr, Shaw and the men under him rendered, every assistance possible to the sufferers, and gave him authority to get assistance, and do what he could. By a Juror : He noticed a break in the thir i d, or• fourth carriage from the end of the 16th, gc oak not say whether the break had beer, applied. They pushed the carriago hftek about three feet without applying the bre* at as these was a space of three feet between it and the'next oarriage. Those killed were all found near to the engine of the third train. He believed that there was no one in the carriage next to the engine in the third train. If there had been they must have been killed. Mr. Grundy said the company had in attendance the whole of their servants who had anything to, do, with the working of the train iq question. Tbey, had present not only the guards and the enginemen, but the superior officers from Salford, Accrington, Aninahottom, &c. ; but if they should not be wanted that day, he should be glad if they could be. libmted to attend to their duties until they shoe11:1114 required. The. Coroner said they would not be wanted that day, and some of them were at once liberated. Samuel Duckworth, who identified the body of, his father, said he went from Helmshore to Ma;itester with his father, on Monday. They left the Salford Station, in the second train, a little after eleven o'clock. The train went on a!,l right until they got to Helmshore. He knew that there was a train behind them, waiting. at RamsbottOm for the second train to get c 4 of the way. He and his father were in that part of the train which went, In fact, he was in the third q4giagP i'VgIA the lower end of that part of tttp. tyai,n which went down the incline When, he perceived the carriages moving back, he became alarmed and jumped out of the carriage, hut his father did not do so, and was killed. /ie could not see the train behind, owing to the, eime, but he heard the crash. He walked, e,avoa the line to see what had happezted, anti found that the collision had taken place. His father was buried amongst the carriages, and was one of the last to be got out. He assisted to carry him up to the Turners' Arms. By a Juror —That part of the train which he was in, did not come within a hundred yarn of• the Helmshore, Iy Station, owing to th e l eng th o f th e train.hen he fiest : perceived the carriages meting brick Wards he sao, ; am going out, father ; r think he cannot hold: it.." father had left eleven children and, a w,1(19.W. !

Mary Fell bad her skull fractured and back injured, .tqoupiresogim Isabella Hindle's skull was fractured, and she was bruised in various parts of the body. The Coroner here inquired if any of the other per. sons injured were in danger. . . . Mr. Shaw said he went round with Dr. Harrison on the previous day and saw many of those injured. Dr. Harrison was of opinion that the only dangerous case was that sent to the Manchester Infirmary, as it was probable that the amputation of the patient's leg would be necessary. In answer to the Coroner, Mr. Newall, the manager of the carriage department, said he had got the side chains from the carriage which had broken away from the rest, but they had not yet been able to find the shackle. He hoped yet, however, to find it. The inquest was then adjourned to Saturday, and it will then be held at Haslingden. From inquiries which we made at the Royal Infirmary last night, we learned that Mr. Hartley Butterfield has had his leg amputated, but that he is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. WHO IS PRINCE GEORGE GALITZIN The arrival in England `of this illustrious nobleman and justly celebrated amateur, although occurring so late in the season, has produced a sensation of no ordinary kind in musical circles, The two concerts of Russian music, vocal and instrumental, given by the Prince in the splendid and capacious locality of St. James's-hall, and attended by crowded and enthusiastic audiences, will long be remembered. The programmes, full of interest of a wholly novel character, not only introduced national Russian music—by Bortniansky, Glinka, and others—hitherto unknown to England, but enabled the Prince himself to figure both as composer and conductor, with brilliant and well-merited success. His " Sanctus" and " Pater noster" showed his intimate conversance with the ecclesiastical style, while hiErlier zen Valse and Kozlow-Polka (or Surprise-Polka, accord ing to its English denomination) proved him no less a master and inventor in the domain of Terpsichorean harmony. More recently, at the concerts held in Floral hall, connected with the Royal Italian Opera, the Prince has met with an equally flattering reception, his Russian Quadrille and Lelia Polka—which have nightly raised a furore—more than sustained his high reputation as a 'composer of dance-music. In short, the appearances of Prince George Galitzin before the London public have led to a series of veritable " ovations." If he were not illustrious on account of his rank as one of the first dignitaries of the Moscovite Empire, and as a scion of one of the oldest and most influential Russian families, Prince Galitzin, would be entitled to consideration in the musical world, as the son of that aristocratic and distinguished amateur of the " divine art," Prince Nicholas Galitzin, for whom the renowed Beethoven composed and to Whom he dedicated three of his most famous quartets, which have always been esteemed as the most remarkable of the so-called "Pos thumous" works of the master. But, independently of his birth independently of the fact of his being descended from Prince Soltykoff, Field Marshal and Regent Of the Russian Empire in the historically-critical year 1815, George Galitzin has done more than, sufficient in the musical art to win for his name an honourable eminence. Educated at the Imperial Court, he studied composition under Glinka, and singing under Tamburini and Lablache. So profound a knowledge did he acquire of the vocal art, that.he trained up.a number of serfs on his estates in, Tanalaoff, in his own private " chapel," and his private choir ultimately became noted as the most admirable in Russia.' At the coronation of the Emperor Alexander H., in Moscow, Prince Galitzin'a Tamboff Choir excited almost as much curiosity and interest as that magnificent and imposing ceremonial itself. His services in promoting the civilisation and instruction of the masses at length becaroo so unanimously- acknow ledged, that he was c,ppointed Grand Marshal of the Tamboff nobility, and Chamberlain, successively, to the Emperors Nicholas and Alexander. The cause of Prince Galitzin's quitting his native country and adopting music as a profession was purely, political. Notwithstanding his exalted rank, and the high place he held in the Imperial councils (which, among other things, led to his being attached to the staff of Prince Gortschakoff, Generalissimo of the Russian army, in the Crimean war), George Galitzin was so wedded to the cause of liberal and constitutional govern ment, and the general welfare and happiness of the people, that he became insensibly' implicated in move ments that in this free country would simply have been styled "progressive," but in a pure-despotism like the Empire of Ityslia4 were denounced as revolutionary. Convicted of ei;etertainiug, a political correspondence of a tendency with England, he was condemned to reside on an estate of his own at Kozlow, where for the space of two years he lived in comparative exile. Relieved from this involuntary seclusion, he was taxed with connivance, more or less grave, in what was termed a conspiracy against the Russian Govern ment, but which was really only another innova tion in the direction of Kberal politics, To avoid banishment into Siberia, he contrived to elude the vigilance of lr accusers, and effected his escape from the country of his birth, Concealed in a post cha,ise, covered over with straw, he travelled for up wards of two months, tilt, reaching the frontier, he with great danger end difficulty obtained a passage to Constantinople. Thence he made his way to Egypt, and ultimately, by the kindness and hospitality of Captain Park, commander of the Sophia (Sociid Grecque Orin dale), he found means to bathe the pursuit of his enemies, and arrived safely in Great Britain. His visit to our shores, under these extraordinary circum stances, has provided the English public with what has long been a desideratum--viz., something at once interesting and new in the way of musical composition and performance. Prince Galitzin would have been welcome merely, as a martyr to liberal principles, is doubly welcome, combining, as he does, and with this, the capacity of a meritorious and thoroughly original musician---an accomplished professor in short, of' one of the mast delightful and humanising of the arts. [Prince Galitzin, as will be seenfrorn our advertising columns, will appear at the Philharmonic Hall, at the Jullien concerts, on the euring of the 14th and the morning of the 15th of the present month.] CLEVER, CAPTURE OF AN ABSCONDING COLLECTOR. On Saturday last, while officer John Scott, of the Liverpool detective force, was pursuing his inquiries respecting a person who was " wanted," he visited the New York liner William Tapscott, Captain Bell, in the „river, outward hound, and in the course of conversation with one of the saloon passengers, who gave his name as Morton, Scott was led to the belief that although he was not the party he was in search of, at least he was an "absconder." By dint of inquiries, Scott discovered that the name of the person whom he suspected would at no distant period be " wanted," was not Morton, but Greigg, and that he‘was from Blackpool, in Lancashire. Scott at once placed himself in communication with, the authorities of Blackpool, and the result was the receipt by Superintendent Kehoe of a telegraphic message, directing hint to arrest John Greigg, on a Charge of embezzlement. It appears that ha, was a surveyor and collector for the town and district of Blackpool, and in that capacity had been guilty of the offence charged against him. Accordngly Scott proceeded on Monday morning on. board, the William Tapscott and arrested Greigg aias Morton. On being taken into custody, he appea,red astounded, at the suddenness of the capture, but at once admitted that his name was Greigg. It was also found, that in addition to the first cabin passage taken for himself to New York, in the name of Mr. INforton, there was another for Mrs. Morton, who turns out to 'be . a Miss Nickson, the keeper of a boarding house in Shore-side, Blackpool. St.e is a young lady of about eighteen years of age, of 'attractive appearance, and for a short time past has been living at New Brigh ton, where she h.lareoeived frequent visits from the man •Greigg,w,ho has a wife alive and residing in Blackpool. Eventually both male and female were scut by train on Monday night to Blackpool, in charge of an-offieer.

The Teeth influence the form and expression of the countenance more than is generally imagined, and the limit face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. • • - When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when speaking or smiling, a fascination present which prevents further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the middle period of life who have lost their Teeth; for, how-. ever clear and perfect their utterance may have been. before their less, it is impossible to regain it without sup— plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.
