IMPORTANT TO THE CONSERVATIVE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY. THE Revising Barrister, J. H. PATTESON, Esq., has decided that,- all objections made to the Conservative county voters by Mr. BRUMFITT; Secretary of the Reform Association, are invalid and of AO effect. This is a v ery important decision in several rejects ; but it is especially necessary for the Conservative electors whose names have bee n objected to by Mr. BRUMFITT to keep in view that this decision is liable to review by the Court of -Common Pleas, and may yet be wholly set aside. It is, therefore, clearly the,imperative duty of every Conservativetlecter to act as If no such . clecisfon haa been given . Tip hevising Barriaier. Itl alrei 'wo'rd's, all who have been served With objections must still come forward to the Revision Court and use the proper means to' prove their right to the vote, as they would have done had no such decision been given against Mr. BRUMFITT. A single word will prove the necessity of this being attended to. Thus, sup- Posing that any Conservative electors, relying upon the nullity of Mr. BRIDIFITT'S objection to their votes, should not appear before the revising barrister to substantiate their claims, then, in the event of the court above being of a different opinion from Mr. PATTESON, the objections made by Mr. BRUMFITT will be held valid, and those who have not come forward to vindicate their rights will be struck off the list for the Present year, and their vote will not be available to the cause at the next election, should ittake Place within that period. We, therefore, earnestly entreat ;who have been summoned by the Con- Itititional Association to attend before the Re- Vi.sing Barrister, not to omit answering that in order that there may be no doubt as to their being placed on the list now being Made up. , The importance of every 'exertion being used 1 1 Conservatives, at the present time, to Strengthen the great party under whose honourable banner they have hitherto been enrolled, cannot be over-estiMated. Great pro gress has already been made in this loyal and Patriotic movement, and a little further effort is all that is required to secure that predominant position which properly belongs to the great Liberal-Conservative party. " England expects that every man this day will do Ms duty." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PRANCE. (FROM OUR' OWN CORRESPONIANT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening, Oct. 4. Francis IL is still in the kingdom of Naples, at the head of a -by no means inconsiderable body of troops ; and he is plainly intimating that, before his territories can be annexed, he must be conquered. Up to the date ot the last intelligence, he had shown no Signs of giving n. It may be that he la slow to believe that Victor Emmanuel will allow his troops to join with the Garibaldians in attacking him without some more formal declara tion of hostilities than any he has yet received — fact, his accredited minister to the Court of nrin has not yet, so far as I am aware, left that capital).. or it may be, that he is emboldened by the aspect of affairs at Naples : by the number of troops on whose loyalty he can still rely ; and by , some visionary prospect of aid from Austria, and perhaps RusSia, that all is not yet lost ; in which case he is clearly in the right to :; remain on Neapolitan soil as long as he is allowed a footing . on it, and not to leave his kingdom till he is drawn out of it by force. It is announced in a German absolutist Paper, the Ost Deutsche Post, that it is at present under consideration, in the counsels of his ex- Majesty, whether the command, of his troops should not be offered either to General Bedeau or to General Changarnier . but as this journal at the *same time rightly remarks, the career of General Lamoriciere in a similar capacity in the Pontifical army does not present-an encouraging example. As to Garibaldi; the latest accounts mention, that he .had returned from the camp before rapua, and had held a counsel of war, to which he had invited all,the chiefs of his army ; that at this meeting, he had proposed to concentrate all his disposable •forees, , and fight a decisive battle With the' Royal army; as previously determined upon, but that the proposal, was not approved of, and. it was accordingly , decided that the bom bardment of the place should be resumed as soon as the requisite siege materials which he was ex pecting, arrived. The royal army, on its side, appears To be actively engaged in fortifying the positions which it has taken up, and is continuing to introduce, from time to time, into Gaeta, ammu flition and provisions in large quantities. :On the left of the place, which is its only weak point, an entrenched camp has been formed, which is to be defended by numerous and well armed works,, 'Gaeta will thus be in a position to sustain a siege '°f several months duration; and if : Garibaldi Were left to his own resources, it would -be quite impossible for him to take the place, so long as treason did not break out among the defenders. Yesterday King Victor Emmanuel made a solemn entry into Ancona. The official Gazette of Turin, of the Ist October, publishes a• decree by which his Majesty names as Lieutenant of the Kingdom, during his absence from his capital, his cousin, Prince Eugene, o f s a voy : Carignan. Royal Highness .arrived at Turin on that day, and immediately assumed , the reins of government. A letter from Turin, dated the Ist, 'eporting his. arrival, says:— Yesterday (Sunday) the King held a general review at Bol og na, near Caprera, and afterwards 'received`the authorities at the Royal residence of Bosco. M. Valerie, 'who has been named Commissioner Extraordinary to Ancona, has fast left Turin. He is to receive the' King 'on his arrival at Ancona.. General Lamoriciere will . be presented to his Majesty, and afterwards conducted to, where a residence has been prepaied for him in the citadel. The General is very much cast down and exasperated, not so much by his defeat, as by the treason and cowardice of those by 'whom he was surrounded. He complains , loudly of the native soldiers who formed Part of his army. Troops are daily leaving for,Genoa, from whence they will proceed direct onwards to Naples. This letter also contains an extract from a com tuunication received by the writer from Naples, containing a sad picture of the disordered con dition of affairs in that city, and expressing the Most earnest hope that the coming of the Pied- Montese will not be much longer delayed The Ministry does nothing. Bertami is master of everything. The provinces are in a chaos. The Gover nors, with their unlimited powers, do and undo according to their own pleasure. The greater part of them belong to the Man= sect. If Piedmont aoes not intervene 'We are lost. Happily for the Neapolitans and, for the future of Italy, the interference is, by this time, an a ccomplished fact. According to the Espero of Turin, it is rumoured that , a Congress will shortly meet , whose only I ) °.leet will be the solution of the Italian question. is said that the Emperor Napoleon has either Made, or is about to make, this proposal; but what is there new to solve ? All that a Congress, !f it meets, which is not the least likely, would h ave to do would be to consider whether the new , 41 :raugement of affairs in Italy should be recog sed and accepted, and to receive the protests of t hose Powers which were dissatisfied with them. -there is a constant departure of troops, of one kind or another, to Rome, still going on. Lieut.- Colonel d'Obexi, who has been appointed to the co mmand e of the artillery under General de Goyon, t Vincennes on Tuesday for Italy ; and the, first and second s qu adrons of the 4th Hussars, in gar 80n at t Marseilles,forming an effective and force 280 men, left the same day by railway for Toll lon, f rom w h ence th ey a re to emba r k f or Itcone. the A considerable body of sappers preceded In• I shall forward as early as, possible a n etitline of th e recent addroi4 of his holiness to the Consistory ; it is to be made public in a day or. two. You have of course seen the telegraphic summary of the preliminary proceedings of the Sardinian Chambers, which is all We have yet heard On the subject here. It is riinaciiired that the Archduke Albert has been appointed by the Emperor Joseph to the command-in-chief of the Austrian army in Italy. The Gazette de Cologne mentions that this appoint ment is the subject of a good deal of discussion in the military circles, of Vienna.. But General Renedeck will probably be associated with his Imperial Highnegs in the command,. and acCom pany him as chief of the command,. Notwithstanding all the dedlarationg to the Contrary, it would seem that Austria still . expects to be., attacked not only in Venetic; but in the Italian Tyrol, where Gari baldi is said to be able to-count on no, inconsider able number of partisans. At Milan, Where there is supposed to be a whole crowd of committees de voted to him, he has just formed a Tyrolean Com mittee on a similar footing with the Venetian Com mittee at Naples, whose duty it will be to cor respond with all the various opponents of Austrian rule, and , to encourage, by every possible means, agitation among them. This is hardly either fair or reasonable, I must say, and it is to be hoped that proceedings of this kind will meet with no encouragement : from the Ministry of Cotint de Cervour., Italian bishops, as well as Italian general offi cers, continue to arrive in Paris almost daily. The Cardinal,Sforzi, who comes, from Rome, and the Bishop of Castellamaregrom Naples, arrived yesterday; but ' all are welcomed, whatever may be their antecedents. At the Bourse, yesterday, there was scarcely so much activity as on the previous day ; but the price of .Rente and of most descriptions of stock make still further progress on the ascending scale. Rente has risen from 69f. to 69f. 25c., and the Shares of the Bank of France have again reached the satisfactory figure of 2,850. The Railways also share in this general improvement, ITALY , (FROM OUR OWN OORRESpONDENT.) MILAN, Sept. 28. A stranger arriving in Milan within the last four or five days, and being acquainted with the political state of this country ) must have been brought to a sudden halt, and seriously inquired, What in the name 'of Heaven is the meaning of this wild rash of men with beds on their backs, a pillow .under one arm, the other hand struggling with the head 'of a bedstead:l old * * when hugging a cat in a basket, Others .a bird cage and, swing lookint-glaks, Waggons, carts, trucks, and bar rows hying about in every direction of the city, in the most awful confuSion, which was height ened by the continual collisions taking place, owing to the narrowness of the streets or the net very artistic turning Of the corners—then a loud cr-r-rch overturning one or both of the above named vehicles, throwing mountains of household goods into the most lovely disorder and 'ruin, that would make an i?.pholsteter, M.'6lter, or glue-pot dance With joy, of tairie always accompanied by the liereekt, iftstieulation and Babel of sweet voices, indulging in that peculiar exclamative language which is not to be foUnd in any, of the ancient or modern dictionaries of the Italian ; language'? In fact, b. nervous traypiler walking to the nUerho,..ivity Mitritys Guide of Northern, Italy under his arm, would imagine that the city was On the eve of being bombarded by the .A.Ustrians, and at once dash off to his hotel, 'call for his bill, pay the same without waiting to exercise his addition, leap up stairs to his room, hastily cram his travelling stock into his portmanteau ; hire a post-chaise, and fly off to Switzerland or some other quiet conattt, to get out of the way of the shells, which. w ould be by no means pleasant ''to a peacefitl subject of her Britannic Majesty, who lert his comfortable little codage in the suburbs of the great metropolis, -to spend the 'irkea.tion in seeing the beautiful sky, arts, arid monuments, of Italy. But at present , the Austrians are still at the other side of the Mincio, and there is no far of Milan heing bom barded. The secret of .this great movement of furniture is,that i the apartments in this city axe only ant or one year, that is from the' 29th of •Stptember to the same period the follow ing year. By a most extraordinary whim of numbers of families, especially among the poorer class, they change every Michaelmas; and this year more than any previous 0116, owing to the iniquitous combination emetics, the household pro prietors in raising the rent 20 per cent., which is one of the *advantages (?) of the liberty we at present enjoy. Now, a few words to the political question. Every hour that passes more clearly brings before the eyes of Europe the cunning and successful Comedy that, has been played by. the Emperor Napoleon, Victor Etninanuel, and Garibaldi. I have frequently explained to your readers that darilialdi s invasion of Sicily, and the Piedroontese entry into the Marches and Umbria, would never:have been undertaken, un less Piedmont secretly assisted the former and Napoleon as secretly pushed on Vic tor Emmanuel to the other. Ido not here intend to enter bite the merits of the " justifiable interference" of Gari baldi or the King of Sardinia but rather in two' words to point out the politica:l influence it must give to the Emperor of 'the French, in having by his side so powerful and " only sincere ally that he can find in Europe," it being to the:interest of both to support and dill to each other; the more so as Piedmont is bound by, all the humao ties of gratitude to Prance for placing her in her present position. 'We are told that the garrison of Rome is to be reinforced—nay, even some assert that a corps of 15,000 men has received orders to embark for Route, and ;that Marshal 'Valliant is to have the supreme command. Your readers must not imagine that this movement of the French to Rome is Ito 'protect His Holiness, put a stop to the bombastic threats of the Mazzinians, or to say to Victor Emmanuel, " I will not permit you to usurp the temporal power of the. head of our church, or take up arms against a 'monarch who has committed no act against your states," but the real fact is, that the Emperor Napoleon and King Victor Emmanuel are persuaded that AUstria, in the face of Present circumstances, 'Cannot remain an inactive spec tator to the menacing attitude of Piedmont, and the revolutionary party that are now unceasingly organising an attack upon her possessions. The French troops at, and to :be sent to Rome, are destined to be united to Piedmont should Austria cross the Po. This, I believe is the real object of the expedition of the French to the Eternal City. Can we' wonder that England, Prussia, Austria and Russia should mistrust such a subtle monarch, as the man who now rules the French people.? It is this morning positively asserted on the Exchange that Victor Emmanuel wilt proceed from Bologna to the Marches and Umbria, where he will issue a' proclamation to the people , and then go on to Naples and do the sa me, after which Garibaldi will consign to the Kin g the Two Sicilies, which, of course, he will accept; and then the general will retire to his solitude at Caprera. The words in italics is the (excuse the expression) humbug we continually read in the Italian journals. ,Cialdini is on his march to Naples, if not already there, and b y this time has his instructions to proceed to Gaeta, and attack the troops of Francis IL without the slighest - provocation on the part of the King of Naples towards the King of Sardiuia. It seems almost impossible that the other Powers will sanction such an usurpation on the part of the Piedmontese Government. Lord Sohn Rus sell's note of the 31st of August to Sir James Hudsoil) anticipates the policy of Cavour, as regards the Papal and Neapolitan States, and points out the danger that is likely to arise there from, and which would urge the King to his final struggle with Austria. Whatever the ultimate result of the present policy . of France and Pied- , mont may be, it is almost impossible to foretell, but there cannot be the slightest doubt that all will not finish without drawing the other Powers into the question: Our 'Bourse has been for the last week very unsteady. The prices of the Sardinian fives were maintained with a slight tendency of im provement. The Lombard Railway shares had great difficulty to reach the prices quoted last week, and .were negotiated at our exchange at lower prices than at Paris. • Sardinian fives closed at 781- for cash, and 78 for account to the end of October Lombard.

THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of this committee was held at the Tikin n hali yesterday. Mr. Alderman Dover iireSidddi Thg dthdi gentlerneti viedeo.:w.ere Messrs. Sheil, Crellin, liodgson, BovVring, Ridity, Nickson, Haydock, Job, Beckwith, Stitt, Steel, and Barton. The borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspec tor of nuisances, reported various partic u l ars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 191 nuisances com plained of by inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken to remedy them. 1,847 houses, in the unhealthiest distiiotsi ethitaitiing 4,059 aPartmeritS, arid 1,1.77 cellars, had been put under 4itli the +iew of impro ving their sanitary Condition. TAB HEM;TA OP, TAB TOIV ; N. The metlical'officerof health reported that the mor tality of Liverpool . .in the last week of Beriterriber was lower tban in any week, previously recorded. The deritliS in the parish were PI, atid iii the cidt-td*ifsliipi 47, making a total of 138, against 254, the corrected average (without cholera) of the same week of the pre ceding ten years. The mortality of last week was thus little worse than one-half the corrected average. From zyrnotic diseases, the deaths were 29, the average (with out cholera) being 82 ; diarrhma. caused 7 deaths, average 27; measles, 5; fever 3, average 10; syphilis, 3; searlatina, hooping cough, croup, diphtheria, scurvy, and infantile cholera, one each. Diseases of the lungs occasioned 41 deaths, of which 21 were from consump tion ; the average mortality from this class of diseases in the coirespotididg,*eelt. of forrti6r teats *as Sd. The teniperature was IoW thioilghthit tic 6 itte 'fifth 50 . 9 degrees, or 61 degrees less than the average: Rain fell during seven hours on Thursday, and the amount collected was rated more than one-fifth of an inch. , Mr. Bownixa expressed a wish that the reporters' attention should be directed especially to the report, as it was most important. _ _ Mr. Ilonosos—The mortality this week is lower than was ever before known. Is it so, Dr. Duncan.? Dr. DuricANL—With the exception of one week ten years ago; then there Wes a population of 90,000 less than now'. P The OllAlaAN—That is most' satisfactory. Mr. STITT then moved for a series of returns, embrac ing the number of deaths and thepopulation of the town and out-townships from the . year 1840 up to the present time, to:be made out in accordance with a form he had 'drawn out. If that was done, it would tend to disabu se the mind of the public of the mistatements which had been set forth as to the real mortality of the town. Mr. BowarNG seconded the motion, which vas assented to, Itoriadv eoulii riot help Wondering wheie people who did not .belong to Liverpool got their. information. Mr. NICKSON also moved a resolution to the effect that the medical officer should add some additional information to his weekly return, somewhat similar to that asked for by Mr. Stitt. He alluded to the speech delivered by Mr. Ch9.dwick, at the social science gather ing at Glasgow, and said, that when that gentle- Arian stated that the mortality should be simil ar in large towns to what it was in, goals arid *orkhouses, he *as iii crret. The rhatality of such places had nothing: to do' With the case, for he (Mr. Chadwick) . must recoiled that when people entered these institu tions, whether it Was crime or poverty, they Were deprived of their liberty, and had to coniply with the orders as to . cleanliness. That principle could riot be brought to bear upon densely populated neighbourhoods. For his part he had paid much attention tii the sani tary state of the town; and he believed that the mode ode adopted by the committee for promot in g the healt h of b the town Was most salutary , and th e exertions the committee had been most beneficial. There was one subject he did regret , and that was the high rate of infant mortality. He concluded by requesting to have the informiiflon he had asked for. THE OPENING OP THE FREE A deputation (consisting of Dr, Raffles, Mr. Alderman Bennett, and Mr. Gibson) from the Sub-arrangement I Committee for the opening of the Free Public Lib rary on the 18th instant, was %len introduced to the con, mittee. The DEPUTY TOWN-CLERK explained that the depu_ Cation attended by invitation to ask for the use of the piece of land on the west side of St. John's Churchyard, which was then occupied as a stone-yard by the Health Committee, on the occasion of the o p enin g of the Fr ee Public Library. Dr. RAFFLES said the land was most eligibly, situated for affording a large number of persons a view of the ceremony on opening the Free Public Library. It would accommodate between 7,000 and 8,000 persons, who could watch the whole proceedings. If the sub committee could have the use of the land for the day it would be a great relief to the crowded streets, and might be the means of preventing many accidents. Mr. Alderman BENNETT said the land only wanted to be levelled, and as there were not many stones upon it, but principally sand, that could easily be done. The CHAIRMAN—Who will pay the expenses? Dr. RAFFLES--Of course all the expenses would be paid by us. Mr. Alderman BENNETT did not exactly agret with Dr. Rattles on that point. It might prevent many accidents. The BOROUGH ENGINEER said there was nothing to prevent the land beinn. levelled and the wall pulled down, and he did no t su pp ose th e whole expense would reach £2O. The application was unanimously acceded to. LODGING-HOUSE INSPECTOR. The CLERK, after reading the proceedings of the sub committee on lodging-houses, sa id there was a letter from Mr. Theod ore Rathbone upon the subject of lodging-house inspection. The CHAIRMAN --It had better be referred to the sub-committee. Mr. STirr—l am afraid this committee are making this sub-committee the receptacle for such a letter. Mr. BOWRING—They are all referred there. The'letter was then referred as suggested. MR. BECKWITH AND MR. JONES. Mr. BECKWITH said he had seen a letter in a paper from Mr. Jones attacking him.- T -He asked the Borough Engineer for some returns, but he had not prepared them, therefore be would not be able to answer it until next week, when he would be able to give a full account, and then Mr. Jones might have all the balance. The proceedings of the committee then terminated. HORSE SALE.—On Tuesday, M r . Joseph Asberry, the well-known auct i oneer at Ll o yd' s Newington Repo sitory, sold a splendid lot of h orses i n f ron t of the Grand Stand at Aintree. The sale was considered a first rate quoted were g oo d. one, and prices as WALLASEY COMMISSIONERS. The monthly meeting of this board was held yester day evening, in the offices at Egremont. Mr. Pooley presided; and the other members present were Messrs. Maude, lierford, Boyd, Holmes, Marshall, Hosack, Harrison, Hill, Hughes, Fishwi, and Caine. The proceedings' of the - Works and Health Committees were reaa and &cal:lined ;: at were also those of the Gas and Water Committee'. Pre' ratter included a report from the engineer, stating that the tower and well were nearly completed. Mr. HUGHES said he was far from being sutis NCI that the well was nearly completed. He thought that Mi. Rawlinson's attention ought to be called to the matter. The CuAuct AN also considered this a most impor tant subject' it struck him that the progress which had been made with the well was anything but creditable to all concerned, and the consequences 'ere very serious, The ratepayers would be kept out of the use of the well through the bad management that was being carried on, He thought that Mr. Rawlinson's attention should be drawn to it, as there vas no obstacle which ordinary diligence would not reinove: A Member asked where the blame lay ? _ The CHAIRMAN said h'e had mentiorn;cl the engineer and contractor r he bladed theni both for the delay. It' the Contractor did not act up to his iristruCtions i it was the engineer's duty to stop him. He was *my sorry to have suck a meagre report from the committee oil this'subject. Me proceedings were then confirmed, with the under standing that the law-clerk should write to Mr. Raw linson on the subject. The proceedings of the Ferry &limit tee were next considered. The committee, after inspecting the carious models which hat' been sent in for improved boats and lauding-stages for Egremont and New Brighton, had come to the conclusion that Nos. 18 and 14 were the best. With the author of plan No. 19, however, they had not yet been able to communicate, to ascertain the mode in which t'h'e plan could be carried into effect. The board, after a slight di l s'OnssNrii i decided that an adjourned meeting should be held oil' Wedpesday, the 17th instant, and that in the meantime "Alpirar the author of the plan, be communicated with. he toe The thiiaed s C ahla n ed A o r tti a .n s t r hi a ne s r t ef el e vr f ri e t ws h , e wa in F t dh e r h3 r ley Mr. ‘. vashaP enny, pCommitteepwy with ho statedsa reference y tt that a a t t that gentleman had spoken in the most friendly manner. Mr. PooLEY (chairman of the board) said it was a very pleasing prospect to see this amalgamation of opposite feelings which had pervaded, not only the board, but the parish also; token they came to look things in the face, the obstacles were merely like nightmares, which soon disappeared: lie must congratulate the board on such ai termination to what had been a very long and tinpfodtictive diserission. The following is the portion of the proceedings of this special fer-9`t committee referring to the trans fer With a view to' gate' the fo'card to' take possession at once of the ferries, Mr. Smith's trustees would probably consent to their taking possession under the lease, on condition that they applied for and obtained Parliamentary powers within two years to raise an additional sum of money to purchase the ferry, at a sum to be agreed upon if possible, but if not, to be settled by arbitration, such additional sum to rank par' passu with the £75,000 already authorised to the board, the board not to be obliged to pay the purchase money and take up their title until within one month of the expiration of the lease, but With liberty to' do so at any earlier period. In case of defaiilt of p'aym'ent at the alJefe mentioned period, Mr. Snrith'S trustees to have power to re-enter and sell, arid tO Come on the &Yard for any deficiency in price. if the hoard omit or fail to' obtain such Parliamentary poiers, Mr. Smith's trustees to be at liberty to determine the lease at any time after the expiration of two years by giving siX Months' notice. "Whereupon it was resolved by the committee, "That, in their_ opinion, the terms suggested appear fair and reasonable, and .that they be recommended to the board as the basis of a negotiation for the purchase of the Seacombe Ferry." .The CnArnausr said it Was necessary to elect a par liamentary comnlittde for the.ensuing year. Mr. CAINE then proposeta: list of naMes, which was seconded by Mr. Hill, and appointed as the parliamentary committee. The following resolution was then proposed and seconded, and carried unanimously :—" That the requi site notice be prepared and given for an application to Parliament, in .the next session, for an act to empower the hoard to raise such further sums of money as may be required fo'i edmllletlng the purchase of the ferries, preyiding steam and other boats for working the same, and for *roving the taiidiiig Plaoes and approaches thereto ; also for coniplethig the gas and water Works, and eiteridiii4.the supply o'f gas and Water to all parts of the township:" Also the following motion negotiation having been opened by the special committee with the trustees of the late Mr.' Richard Smith, with regard to the transfer of Seacombe Ferry, and. a fair prospect of an amicable settlenient of the whole question on the prin ciple of the board becoming possessors in perpetuity of the ferry and of certain rights and privileges connected therewith upon fair terms, resolved that it be an in struction to the parliamentary committee to prepare "OM, for next session, sO as to comprehend that object." THE SEACOMI3E MEMORIAL. Mr. Mu said there afas a memorial front the inha bitants of Seacombe orl 6e su'bsict, of the transfer of the ferries, but their wishes hafe already Veen met by the present arrangements. • Mr. CAINE—I should like to know whether this is the memorial which emanated from the meeting which this represents ? (holding up a long newspaper report on the meeting at Seacombe.) Mr, 11iLt—I don't know ; let me see. Yes, that ifs it, _ f CAtin—ltcE; sir, I take it for granted that it is. I belieVe that there fs kg a iilail et this board who will suppose that I WORld for one nioniedt laCifele in the slightest degree with the ,free and full expression of opinion liv the yieople of this cblifity on all M atters and grievances that tlieY niay. feel either politically or socially. We, as the represiliitatiieg of the people of this parish are responsible to them for the Cate of the* affairs, and I for one would most respectfully arid earnestly invite them to examine our proceedings, and put what strictures they pleased upon them. This is the privilege of Englishmen ; but while we respect this privilege, We should be careful to see that we are not having things palmed upon us to serve the purpose of Some designing man. I say that this document. is nothing but a sham en the f ac e of it. It w as brought forward at a nieetiug. Which w.as began by Mr. Hill, Continued by Mr: Hill , a nd ended by Mr. Hill, The reltildticins ,embodied id this memorial Were not oral carried. Now, I dare say that Mr. Hill will tell us that he did not suggest to these siX injtired ratepayers who c a ll e d upon him and invited Lint to deliver an address, that they should take such proceedifigd: No doubt he will say that he had nothing to do with the appointment of a chairman. Still there was the fact of the meeting being held, and now see what it is like. Th' chairman tells the meetin g that he is not "up" in the thi ng —not "up" in the business of the meeting! )''hat a it that he did not consult Mr. Hill , I „di ani sure that gentleman could 'have put him up 3 to a t at : tip, Epanghter.) But, unfor tunately, a s it happened, the elan:rad afa.l riot tip to snuff. However, he reads the resolutions, and. I ant told that, when the first resolution was put, he iVaS appealing—for pity's sake, for the love of heaven — for some one to move it. At last it was moved, and at last seconded; it was then put, and not more than seven or eight hands held up in its favour. So that, in fact, the chairman doubted whether the motion was carried; but Mr: Hill was at his elbow, and said, "My dear fellow, it's earried--:-It's all rights" Well, there's -a second resolution, and we ate told that the chairman again appealed, but in vain, for thiS tiuie no due would resp on d. And yet Mr. Hill has the unblushing effreiv. tory to tell us that this memorial contains the opinion of that meeting. I say it is an outrage and an insult upon the common sense of this Board. Mr. Hill, I see (for he was the only speaker present), thought himself very unhandsomely treated by this Board, and said that some one managed to get him removed from the Ferry Committee, and that, as the oldest member of this Bowfin, lie tholight himself very badly treated. He appeals to their compassion as if he would say, "Pity the sorrows of it poor old man''—the oldest member of the Board. (Laughter.) I will not occupy year atten tion further than to move that this memorial, which I would otherwise treat with the greatest respect, be allowed to lie upon the table. Mr. Alit, in replysaid. that seaeral members of the township, and also the ratepayers of Seacombe. com plained of the course which the board had adopted, and they mentioned this to him. He said to them—" You must call a public meeting, and if vou want me to speak I will come and do so, but I will not interfere at all with the getting up of the meeting." Now, it seems that these persons were not at all accustomed to public meetings, and, in fact, did not know to manage them. Mr. CAINE—No, it seems they were not " up " to it. (Laughter.) Mr. HILL, continuing, said he had asked who was going to be chairman, but the gentleman at first intend al for that post had left town. In this enter gel by they applied to another, who consented to fill the office, but as the gentleman said at the meeting, having been called upon o n the s p ur of the moment, he was not perhaps up to the business about to be brought before them. The consequence was that the persons calling the meeting stood in the room, and though they were *Ming to sign the memorial, they did not like coining forward to speak. The first resolution was carried, as was also the third, and a great number signed the memorial. The latter was afterwards talien round to the householders, when a great many additional signa tures were obtained. Mr. HoLMES said, as one who bad attended the meet ing, he felt upon leaving that the people appeared to have sufficient confidence in their representatives to let the matter be entirely in their hands. Mr. HILL having stated that he considered the wishes of the memorialists complied with, the subject dropped. The CHAIRMAN having stated that the models of boats would be open for public inspection after next Wednes day week, the proceedings terminated.

THE FUNERAL OP THE LATE JAMES ROBERTSON, ESQ.—The remains of this respected and much lamented gentleman will be removed from his residence, Peel street, Toxteth-park, for interment in the cemetery at Smithdown-lane, at a quarter past nine to-morrow morning. Mr. Robertson was chairman of the 19th (Scottish) L.R.V., and the o fficers and men of that division have signified their inte ntion of bei ng present. A detachment of the 71st Hig hland L.R.V . will also take part in the procession, out of respect for the memory of Mr. Robertson. The police force under Major Greig will also be largely represented. Th e Volunteers will march from the storehouse of the 19th, in Great George-street, at 8.15 a.m., h eaded by the band of the 2nd Battalion, 1 MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR BOARD. The listed vfecl ly,meetino. of this body was held yes terday, at the Doct Oltces in Revenue Buildings. Mr. Charles Turner presided ;' acid the other members pre sent were Messrs. Rankin, Prnoifl, Segar, Mendel, Lockett, Darbyshire, Littledale, eaves, Farnworth, Hubback, Tobin, Shand, Forwood, BOiAlt,. Langton, Bushell, Inman, Brocklebank, and Evans. THE COMMITTEE OF WORKS. The proceedings of this committee comprised a re commendation to erect staircases, with pipes and hydrants, at each end of the warehouses at the Stanley i D'ock and also to accept a tender of M essrs . J ones an d Yinielpria, wed, at Bi ali n su h p e p ad lY . .ing sliding-doo rs t o th e I A letter. it leemed; had been received from Messrs. Rankin, Gilnicraic attls Co. ; relinquishing 3,475 yards of land which they oecity . on' tho Harrington estate,— Accepted. Mr. BROCKLEBANK moved the' covfirmatikm of the proceedings. The question of a shed for the labourei alt Canada Dock had been postponed for a week. Mr, FORWOOD called attention to one entry in the books—that which meant that an additional staircase simply should be added to each end of the Stanley Dock Warehouses. Was that, he asked, the only new provi sion intended for such a valuable property ? The CHAIRMAN said that was all at present. The committee could not see their way clearly to more. Mr. Fogwooro had noticed that the police regulations were deficient. There was simply one policeman pre sent at, the origin of the fire. He had expected, after • what he had heard Mr. Holm say, that there would have been a general report on the subject of extinguish ing fires. The different insurance companies had ex ' pected a valuable opinion to be rendered to the Board. Mr, DRO'CKLEBANK, in reply, explained that it was impossible to put tanks on' the roof, but that the stair cases suggested would be varuahle, as they would afford access to every storey, and the present provision was such that every floor in an emergency eotild be flooded. With reference to any future danger, the committee had given it no thought, as they considered that the present pipes and hydrants would be sufficient. k recommendation from the Engineer, or his assis tant; was then read, to let the Morpeth and Egerton Docks at Birkenhead run dry, preparatory to the letting of the - *afar into the Great Float. Mr. LocKtrir said` lie had heard nothing of the subject before. The CHAIRMAN said there cold be no harm in it. There was very little business doing at Birkenhead. Mr. LOCKETT thought just the reverse. The applica tions were most numerous, and there was neassity for care on the part of the Harbour Master that ships might not enter there and claim damages afterwards. The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt the matter would be considered by the Works Committee. Mr, BROCKLEBANK said it was absolutely necessary that the dock should be run dry, on account of the Great float being opened early in November. We had now reached October, ii;:i;cicinirtionght they were all unanimous that the necessary notices should be given; and the subject ilia dropped: The proceedings of the Warehouse Committee were then read and conffrmed, on the motion of Mr. Hubback THE mmairm odiumrrtgE. In the minutes of this committee was included a recommendation to accept the tender of Messrs. If, M. Lawrence and Co., for the supply of eiuht buoys, four of them nuns and four cans, for Hilbre Wash. Mr. Hubback and Mr. Mondell having joined the committee at one of their meetings, a report had been read from Mr. Gisborne, in which it was suggested that a portion of the submarine cable intended to be laid between Point Lynas and the Great Ormeshead should be laid down between the Rock lighthouse and Bootle Bay, with the view of carrying the link so far as the Piirice's Landing 7 stage,—this to be by way of experi ment, and that the wite should be carried in a line to bye suggested by the engineer, which should be north of the north Nit. Mr. Momekry Moral the c'onfirrnation of the proceed ings, and mentioned the fact that the t e l eg r a ph li ne had been completed between Birkenhead and Holyhead within the last few days, and it had, been working most satisfactorily. The Board would understand that the line was complete and efficient for its ordinary prirpbse, ' but it was still incomplete for the other object contem plated, that of saving life when a shipwreck h a p pene d on the sandbanks. They had a lifeboat at present, with a steamer attending at all hours ; but it was desired that they should have a further Wire across the Mersey, to connect that in Cheshire along with the landing -stage, so that at midnight, if necessary, the steartgroat could take the lifeboat out, and with that view he hoped that would be about £5O or £6O, with this advantage, that the Board would sanction the necessary expenditure, which in so doing they might test the question whether further electric coninionieation could not be made across the river. He thought that a fitting opportunity to suggest to the Board and the committee that they should record a vote of thanks to the overseers and landed proprietors who had se' kindly aided them by granting their permis sionclatnatotior.) along their property with th e wi re . (Ac clamation.) Mr. GRAVES said that iti listerridg to the minutes, he had heard a reference made to a letter from the Board of Trade respecting one of the buoys in the Channel, and he wished it to be read, and that the chairman should state its purport. With regard to the vote of thanks, he thought it better that the usual course should be followed. He should be glad to see it done propprly, by a recommendation coming from the Marine Com mitteet which should mention the names of those con cerned, because some of them might have formed an exception; and as proposed they would be included with those Who had given assistance. The Cniiingloi—Perhaps they will bring it forward as a specific motion next week: Mr. EVANS—And give sufficient reasons for it. (Laughter.) Mr. LOCKETT could not understand Mr. Mondel's statement about having the lifeboat ready at nights. Mr. MONDE', replied that the present was an experi- Merit to see whether the cable could be laid down suc cessfully or not between the two sides of the river. What he meant was, that when the communication was complete, intelligence of a disaster could readily be corn municated to' the landing-stage, where people were alway's on the alert, night and day. The points from which such dontrittnications were received would be the Leasowe lighthattrie, and perhaps the Point of Ayr. From those two stations and B'idston notice of an acci dent might be conveyed to the `landing-stage, and mea sures taken to afford relief. With reference to the com munication from the Board of Trade, a schooner had got aground at Waterloo, and this being reported by the coast guard had led to the correspondence ; but the Marine Surveyor's report, which was read to the board Mt Tuesday, had shown satisfactorily that the result arose from the want of knowledge on the part of those in charge of the schooner. The vessel had got wrong by steering a wrong OHM. In answer to Mr. Tobin, ilr. McigriEL said, as a nautical man, he should say that the seltdo'ner had' stranded in consequence of those on board, when comino' up the east side of the channel, having kept a c h anne l course: The CHAIRMAN called attention to the fact that by the statement of the Engineer the cost of laying the telegraph wire across the river would be £3OO ; but that meant the laying it along the entire route from Wal lasey Bridge to the other point on Bootle shore, and thee to the landing-stage. The object was princi pally- td deposit the wire, with the view of seeing if the commtinidatiolt could be made perfect across tile river, before they inehered the elpense of the line across the land. Mr. BROCKLERANK said that the laying of this cable was merely experimental, to see if a wire could be laid clear of the anchorage of vessels. If. that succeeded, they should bring it, up the Liverpool side, and carry it down to New Brighton. The cost of the whole would be £300; but, the cost of this experiment would be only tAi, so that the electrician might test the wire f or a month of two, to se e if it k ep t intact. If so, it would be brought lip to the landing-stage from the Bootle landmarks. The proceedings of the l i iiatac., , e Committee, and of the Committee for the Management of the Docks and Quays, were read and confirmed,'as Were also those of the Master Porterage Committee. COMMUNICATIONS. _ _ The following letter from Mr. John Fazakerly, with reference to the retention of the timber trade at the smith, was then read : TO CHARLES THRNEII, ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE MERSEY DOCKS ANI) lIARBOUR BOARD. DEAR Strs,—Knowing your courtesy I presume to address you, and, through you, the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, on the subject of south dock accommodation for the business in which I ani engaged. That there is not sufficient water or land space at the north end is self evident, and, as I know that the whole capacity of the nortn docks (Canada and Huskisson) can only accommodate the discharging of the same number of vessels, timber laden, that the Brunswick Dock alone can do, and that in fo-nrer years the trade required the use of the Huskis'on Dock as a relief, I feel that it is not beyond the province of my duty to call your attention to a few facts which may ha've some weight with you as to the desirability of the Brunswick Dock being still appropriated to the use of the timber trade of the port. Prior to the thiskisson Dock beimg opened, many and great complaints were made during the time of the spring and fall imports for want of room in the Brunswick Dock for vessels timber laden, and it was no un common occurrence for some of them to remain in the river for weeks. It was then that the slip on the east side of the Huskisson Dock was formed, so as to be a. relief to the south docks at the time of pressure, and for a time it answered the, purpose. Further accommodation was also taken into con sideration, and since that time the Canada Dock has been com pleted, and a number of the merchants engaged .in. the trade have removed their establishments to that locality ; but that a number of dims engaged in the trade having gone there makes it unnecessary further to continue the Brunswick Dock for the use of the trade is a mistake. The traderequireseVen more ac commodalimthan it did when the Huskisson Dock was used merely as a relief to the Brunswick Dock, and, if fairly dealt with, it will go on increasing, and the Brunswick Dock will he required ere long in its entireness for the use of the trade, aicd it would be a short-sighted policy indeed, on your part, to alter it for any other purpose until you have some other dock prepared for the reception of vessels engaged in the timber trade. It is, perhaos, superfluous for me to tell .yon that, during a considerable part of the winter months, the traffic up the river from" the extreme north docks will be next to impossible. For this, I think, you are in some measure pre pared. A very short time, however, will settle that point. At all events, the south d oc k s will always be , preferred in the fall. Therefore, it is not altogether a selfish object we have in view when asking you to let the Tironswick Dock remain as a timber dock for our use, but for a general and beneficial good. I remain, dear sir, very respectfully, your most obedient servant, JOHN FAZAKERLY. Queen's Dock, Sept. 29th, 1860. The letter was referred.

The weekly meeting of the Liverpool Workhouse Committee vras htld yesterday, in the board room at the parish offices, Broviilow-hill. The chair was occupied by Mr. Churchwarden Owen ; mid the other members present were Messrs. Oluirchwurden Smith, Critchley, Goodacre, Lightbound, Peck, Byford, and Denton. Mr. Carr, the governor, reported the number of inmates in the establishment to be last week 1,888; 'this week, 1,975; corresponding week last year, 1,808; being an increase over last week of 87 inmates, and over the corresponding week last year, 167. The hospital returns were as follows :—ln hospital last week, 511; admitted since, 14/ ;; cured and discharged, 102; dead, 13; remaining under treatment, 535. Vagrants sheltered in the Right sheds during the week, 133 men, 118 women, and 55 children, making a total of 306, shewing a decrease of 37 persons during tlie past week, and au increase of 6 as compared with the cornsponding week of last year. Mr. Pnex drew attention to the woollen aml flannel goods supplied by Mr. Peter Williams. The flannels were not equal to the samples; and this was not the first time that complaints had been made upon the same subyeet.- Bad articles had been sent again and again, and he kit that it was now high time that such conduct should he sever e ly d ea l t w i th. Mr. DEN -rtx,t concurred in Mr. Peck's remarks, but felt that perhap s it was premature to recourse to extreme meamres. The Governor explained that the contractor had not only sent in flannel of bad quality; he had not supplied the blankets rordered months ago:, Arr. Churchwarden SMITH remarked that they must take decisive steps in the matter. On the motion of Mr. Byford it was resolved to return the inferior articles, and allow Mr. Williams one week to supply the house with the necessary articles, accordin , .' to contract. In case the order be not complied with, the governor was instructed to purchase elsewhere. " FAMINE IN THE WORKIIOUSE." The Clerk read a report by the Governor with re spect to • the supply of wheat and flour sent in by Mr. John Phillips,, of Itedcross-street. The following is an extract from the report :—" I have now most respect fully, but earnestly, to call the attention of the com mittee to the contract for flour and wheat. The question is referred to in my last week's report. Since then, with the exception of some sixteen sacks of seconds flour, every delivery of flour or wheat was rejected, by order of the sample committee. The contractor has suffered his stock of flour to run so low that I have had either to use the rejected flour or else to fall back on my limited stock of house-ground flour; and while I now write I am without flour of any kind." In answer to a question, Mr. Carr stated that the weekly consumption of flour amounted to about 100 sacks Of the 382 packs sent in by Mr. Phillips for the houss supply since 6th of September last, 340 had been rejected, being unequal to the sample. That which had been passed as all right had been supplied from day to day; and in consequence he had had to fall back upon the rough house-ground meal, which was such as the committee had disallowed the use. Mr. DENTON, seeiug that this offence was repeated from time to time, and that cautions and remonstrances were unavailing, suggested that the governor be in structed to go into the market to buy a supply for present use. This, he contended, was the only way to meet the case • and punish persons who treated them so badly repeatedly, and in spite of all remonstrances. He moved a resolution to the effect that the governor be instructed to buy 100 sacks of flour, the excess over contract flour being debited against the contractor. The motion was seconded without comment by Mr. Lightbound. The Clerk remarked that Mr. Phillip's contract had expired eleven days since, and he questioned their ability to recover the excess over the prices mentioned in the original contract. Mr. Carr explained that the deficiency had existed for several days, and therefore Mr. Phillip would be liable for the excess up to the 10th day after the date of the expiration of the contract. Mr. DENTON remarked that he acted upon principle, irrespective of Mr. Phillip's liability for the excess. The motion was put to the vote, and carried unani mously. MR. PEA.RSON AND THE COMMITTEE.-SUSPECTED FRAUD. The Clerk read the following report by the governor : "I beg to refer to my report of last week on the subject of the mustard supplied by Mr. Henry Pearson, and to add that six kegs have since been supplied in lieu of those rejected, and that those also have been condemned as inferior to sample. This is the fourth time that the mustard delivered on the order of the 23rd ult. has been rejected, while at the present moment the greatest want exists for a supply for the hospital." Mr. GOODNCRE referred indignantly to certain calls m a de upon him, at his private office, by Mr. Pearson and otheri', with reference to the question of the quality of mustard. He thought it enough to attend the Vestries and the committees without being intruded upon during his hours of business or leisure. With reference to the quality of the mustard supplied by Mr. Pearson, he asserted that it might be seen at a glance that it was vastly—probably two-thirds in value—inferior to the sample. In company with Mr. Peck, the draper, he had inspected the kegs, and finding them inferior, the contractor promised to send for a quantity equal to the sample, to the house of Colman, in London. He had subsequently seen those which arrived ; and he must say that it only resembled the sample of Colman's in the outward appearance of the "keg." Of this he was satisfied. He never complained on the first occa sions that inferior articles were supplied by contractors, because he considered that through the carelessness of servants mistakes might be occasionally made ; but when he found that these mistakes amounted to three or four he thought it but right to speak out. He had scarcely any hesitation in saying that the mustard in the six kegs supplied last was not from Colman's, and he could no less than denounce the whole transaction as a contemptible trick. Mr. BYFORD knew something about mustard. The kegs (" Colman's") which he had seen on Tuesday was not marked- as honourable people marked their goods when he was in the trade. Further conversation took place. The Clerk suggested that a keg of the mustard last supplied should be sent to the Messrs. Colman, in order to find out if it had been really supplied by them to the contractor. Mr. DENTON proposed that the mustard be returned, and the governor instructed to buy three casks for im mediate use. The CHAIRMAN remarked that if fraud had been attempted there was another important consideration. Mr. Churchwarden SMITH—If there is any ground for Mr. Goodacre's suspicion, it is a very black matter indeed. Mr. BYFORD seconded Mr. Denton's motion. After same further conversation, Mr. DENTON withdrew his motion, and Mr. Churchwarden SMITH, in proposing that the con tract be cancelled and the mustard returned, remarked that that would meet all the requirements of the case. In all cases of this nature there was a difficulty to prove fraud. Mr. BYFORD concurred in that remark. The CHAIRMAN, however, replied that the process was simple, and the correct result easily attainable. Mr. Smith's motion was put to the meeting and carried. It was ultimately resolved, on the motion of Mr. Goodacre, seconded by Mr. Critchlev, that a keg of the mustard be sent for examination to Messrs. Colman, and that they be requested to state whether it was their genuine best brown mustard. Applications from Mrs. Morton and the matron, for advance of salaries, were read, and ordered to lie over until the next meeting. This was the whole of the business.

THE LATE FIRE IN HARRINGTON-STREET.—The premises, yesterday, looked much worse than on the morning after the fire. The heat was so intense that it burst the iron bars and smashed the stones in the windows of the front, and caused several splits in the rear of the building. Tt is questionable if a portion of the walls will not have to be taken down. The fire was first discovered by Mr. John Woods. hatter, of Lord street, the rear of whose premises adjoins the handily*, and he first communicated to Mr. Superintendent Quick that a hose should be got in through his shop to play on the burning premises. This suggestion, and its adoption, was most effective ; for had not the back been played on with such success, the entire of the warehouses in the place would have taken fire. Mr. Woods' premises suffered much damage, but had it not been for him, and the presence of mind he exhibited, along with his exertions, backed by two young gentlemen from Man chester, the Messrs: Lyster, who were stopping at his house, the consequences would have been much more calamitous. Mr. Wood directed the firemen, by a ladder, from his yard on to the back part of his house:, and also on a shed in the yard, from which they had a complete command of the fire by direction of the hose. Major Greig and Mr. Quick expressed to Mr. Wood their sense of his valuable assistance. Crowds collected yes terday to look at the ruins. It is a curious fact that this time twelve months there was a fire in the same warehouse. THE MUFFLED PEAL OF BELLS, LAST EVENING. — Last evening considerabk excitement was created by a I muffled peal of bells, rung in the tower of St. Peter's Church. A large number of persons congregated near the churchyard, and were exceedingly anxious to know the name of the departed. By inquiry in the tower, we were told that the peal—"grandsire's triples" —was rung in honour of the late Mr. Charles Ball, traveller for a London publishing house—ono of the " College youths" —who has been an occasional ringer at St. Peter's __‘...- Church for the last twenty years. " Colle.ge Youth" is the designation of a society of ringers. The following persons were engaged at the ropes on the occasion : John Heron, jun., (conductor,) treble; Rich. Williams, seconds ; Isaac Meadows, thirds William Heron, fourths; George Crute, fifths ; Thomas Gay, sixths ; John Burkiushaw, sevenths ; and John Aspinwall, tenor.

VOLUNTEER MOVEMENTS ilsr HIGHLAND RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. This corps was officially inspected last night, at their store-house, in Back Canning-street, by Major Bu chanan, assistant inspector of volunteers for the district. Colonel Gladstone and Major Tinley of the 2nd Batta lion (to which the 71st belongs) were also present. The company was put through the manual and platoon exercises and several manoeuvres; at the end of which Major Buchanan expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with the efficiency to which they had. attained, daring the short time they had been embodied, and had consequently much pleasure in passing them for firing.. He urged upon them the necessity of being most particular in their position drill, and not for one moment to fancy they could not all with proper attention to this most important practice become excellent shots. M a then called the officers to the front, and urged upon them the necessity of qualifying themselves in every respect for the important parts they occupied. He said he would be most happy to give them every assistance in his power at any time, and would be glad to attend their drills occasionally if they would allow him, and give them every information they would require. The company were then addressed by Colonel Glad stone and Major Tinley—the former urging them to compete for the company and other prizes at the forth coming match at Hightown ; and the latter assuring them that, although the time was very short, still, if made good use of, they might be able to acquit them selves creditably. Three hearty cheers were then given for Major Buchanan and the same compliment was most enthn siactically accorded to Colonel Gladstone and Major Tinley, after which the inspector proceeded to examine the store-house, and expressed himself as greatly pleased with the excellent arrangements made for keeping the arms. ME PRESS CORPS OF VOLUNTEERS, No. 1, COM PANY.—From au advertisement in another column, it will be observed that the members of this corps will be sworn in by J. R. Jdffery, Esq., at the drill-room of the Lycedm Company, Bold-street, on Saturday evening next. - We believe that arrangements have been made for the attendance of a guard of honour ; and several members of other corps, and numerous influential gen tlemen connected with the press and the printing pro fession, have been invited to attend. MAGHULL FLORAL AND HORTICUL TURAL SOCIETY. The first meeting of this nemly-established society was held on Tuesday last, at Mr. Mason's, the Hare and Hounds Inn, Maghull. There is no district in the vicinity of Liverpool which possesses advantages for the encouragement of horticulture equal to that of this locality ; being intersected by railways, and having the advantage of canal communicaton and excellent roads. The facilities for obtaining natural, as well as artificial, manure from populous districts was well established by the display of horticultural and agricultural produce. It is scarcely possible to conceive culture carried on to a greater extent than were the various diversified speci mens—the objects of competition. Everything was giant-like ; and the most experienced admitted that in quality, in quantity, and beauty of growth, the show excelled anything hitherto witnessed. The room, though spacious, was scarcely sufficiently so ; but great credit is due to the manner in which everything was staged by Mr. Stephen Atherton. Mr. Chas. Rylance, of Town-green, with Mr. R. M'C. Walker, of the Mansion-house, Liverpool, were the judges. The former provided a large quantity of flowenng plants, in pots, for decoration, which, from their lightness and delicacy, produced a pleasing effect in contrast with the monstrous productions of that highly cultivated agri cultural district.

Mr, Robert Mawdsley presided, and Mr. D. Cordingly occupied the vice-chair ; and each did nobly his duty in addresses redolent of loyalty and patriotism, and alike encouraging to the advancement of the nobly-striving agriculturists. THE GREAT GAME AT BOWLS.—This great game was played on Tesdav and Wednesday, at Mr. John ston's, Cattle Market Inn. The first prize, a splendid silver cup, was won by Mr. Crane, of Dale-street, who is considered the best player in England, and the second prize, a snuff-box, was won by Mr. Bulmer, of the Old Swan. We understand the playing was splendid. Mr. Crane was loudly applauded on his success. ANOTHER FIRE YESTERDAY.—A fire occurred yester day about two o'clock, on the premises of Mr. Rogers, musician, Mary Ann-street, off Brownlow-hill. The fire originated and terminated in a joist attached to the chimney. An engine was immediately despatched from Hatton Garden. Happily, however, a few dozen buckets of water quenched the flames. There was little or no damage done. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.—On Wednesday evening, a presentation, from the congre gation, was made in the school-room of St. Matthew's, Toxteth-park, to the Rev. H. R. Hartley, the curate of the church, on the occasion of his entering on another sphere of duty. The presentation consisted of an ink stand, card-basket, and portfolio, with a purse of gold. The Incumbent of the church, the Rev. S. W. Moeran, spoke in the strongest manner of Mr. Hartley's services during the two years that he officiated as curate. THE LITERARY AMATEUILS.—Our readers should be made aware that the new volume of the Welcome Guest (price 5s 6d. ready October 1), contains contributions from all the literary celebrities who are so generously performing in aid of the Brough Memorial Fund.

They are like Medea's celebrated drug, which renewed to old (Eson, King of Thessaly, his youth and strength. They gently stimulate the too enfeebled vital organs. Naw NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.-•••A greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with--the difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean . without any chance of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes' . quick writing. The Pen itself is of the finest description, and in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be found to till a want felt by every one up to this time. We have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. nall, South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour.
