WALLASEY BOARD OF HEALTH Yesterday the first meeting of the new board was held, at the publid offices, Egmont, Mr. Pooley presiding. The other members present were, Messrs. Hill, Holmes, Parr, Harrison, Ball, Caine, Fishwick, Kerford, Hughes, and Byerley. The law-clerk read the result of the late election of commissioners, which we have already published. The expense of this election was £lO 14s. 6d, and Mr. Hill moved that a cheque to that amount be granted for the payment of that expense. The Chairman said, as the notice paper, calling the rneetin was much shorter than usual, it would occupy a very short tin t) transact the business, and with that knowledge he wou venture to ask their indulgence while he addressed a fe observations to them at greater length than was his custo usually to do. He hoped they Would do him the kindnei to bear with him while he addressed himself to some of the most important duties. • :He then proceeded as 'follows The first meeting . after the election appears to me th proper time to review the functions of this board, its power for their discharge, and the extent of its past proceedings combined with something like a programme of futnr operations; and this is the more seasonable because, althougl the public confidence has been manifested very clearly by thi re-election of the retiring members, yet several gentlemen elected to fill vacancies are, quite new to their position, an( others have not, perhaps, had their attention drawn comprel:ensively to the important and varied works whicl we are appointed and empowered to do in behalf of ou district. The board is constituted under several acts o Parliament, each of which embodies, in whole or in part several other and general acts. Our first is the Wallase Improvement Act of 1845, so far as unrepealed by subsequen Alta. Our second is founded on the Public Health Act 1848, applied to this district in 1853. Our third is th Local Act of 1858, which extends the powers under the t , former special acts in several important particulars • our fourth is the Local Government Act of 18" 58, whi confers some valuable faculties not embraced by former acts. I take the liberty of very earnestly advisinz every member to procure and carefully study all thes, statutes, without which I venture to say he cannot posses an adequate knowledge of what he undertakes to administe when he consents to become a commissioner. On the presen occasion I do not intend to enter into particulars, but dwel only on the'several features of our work, and these may bE classed under the several denominations of external and internal communications; sanitory arrangements, preventive and remedial; public order and convenience; general im provement ; finance. With regard to our external commu nications, I may remark that we possess the fullest powers to deal with the ferries of Seacombe, Egremont, New Brighton, and any other which may be hereafter commenced between this parish and Liverpool, so as to provide and maintain everything necessary to a safe, frequent, regular, cheap, and convenient transit to and from either shore. So vital to every public and private interest is such communication, that he who does most to accomplish it will deserve best of all classes of the inhabitants. Towards this object much preliminary work bas been done; the first and greatest difficulties arc removed, and the present proprietors of the ferries are brought into a position of treating for their transfer. Par ticulars of the negotiation will come under immediate review by the new ferry committee, who no doubt will steadily follow up the_ course of action begun by their predecessors .esired consummation upon become our duty t° take the improving the landingplaces, purchasing steambo:, best construction, and placing the whole department u, such a bnsiness-like: system of management as will ensure in the first place the great desiderata of comfort, safety and regularity of passage to and fro at all times; and in the second place, at the earliest practicable period pay its own expenses and yield a revenue for reduction of rates. Akin to communication with Liverpool is that with Birkenhead, which since it has become at peace with its great neighbom and its docks amalgamated with those of its parent town bids fair to advance to importance and prosperity. Beside our road to Birkenhead over what has been Popp where a toll is still levied both on foot - most efficient means of vehicles (which impost must be watched and Caused to cease), we are to have aood roads not only acros s th e en t rances to the docks hut also across the central embankment dividinc , the treat Float, as part of the present dock plans. Up to the present time we have no reason to doubt the intention of the Harbour Board or their engineer to give as much accommo dation both to foot passengers and carriages as is consistent with the proper working of the docks ; an d if t hi s b e done, it will give great advantage and convenience to both Birken head and Wallasey. Our internal communications, that is to say, all the roads thoughout the district, are a b so l u t e l y vested in the board, and it is our duty to see that they are maintained and improved where necessary, so as to preserve them in an efficient state for public use. Other roads may constantly bo expected to be opened in such a district as ours, which is a combination of the rural and the urban. Before adopting such for maintenance at the public charge, we must be careful to use our powers in adjusting their width and levels carefully to the public cor venience, and also that their construction is of, such substantial character as to be upheld without undut the ratepayers, and tbeir surface such as, under all cit.( stances, is most favourable for cleansing. • Since 1855, the board . has constructed, at the expense of the adjoining owners of land, three miles of roads, which will bear com parison with any in the county, the total expense being £7,664, rather more than £6OO below the proximate estimate of the surveyor ; the lowest tender has in every case been accepted if the contractor was a responsible man. The sanatory arrangements for the district are our special charge ; these consist partly of the main drainage. which is much connected with the roads. Its chief scheme of con struction, embracing its general courses and points of outfall, are settled; and they are accurately delineated on the excellent survey of our district, which was our first great work , but the scheme has received cansiderable modifica tion and improvement by the formation of a marginal sewer along great part of our southern boundary current with a great road which is in• course of execution by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, with its outfall at Seacombe. This sewer will convey the entire drainage of more 'than half our district, and have ample means of flushing. With this exception, all main drains which have been constructed within the last six years, and all that are now in progress, forms parts of the general plan, which had in the whole a length of three miles and one-third of large brick sewers, and than all are alrea ipe drains are laid; at authorised estimate forward these works with all diligence till the wh facilities open to us for comprehending all those parts of 1 district to which the general scheme did not extend, and this keep pace with the progress of building and the increase of population. House drainage requires our constant. attention, in order that the sanitary advantages of our main drainage may be effectually realised. Already much has been done in this way, 594 houses having been drained under the supervision of the board, either by new drains formed, rmer inefficient branches with our - of ashpits and cesspools has 'er our own direction, and by ory evils whic streE and 14hol to this ergy can pipes, which are 1 in their places our own men, and the subject of surface cleansing alleys, and small streets, has recently / commenced as .mport ant. sanitary work, and will req o be diligently prosecuted It may be necessary to e tions under one of our acts to the in of habitations, whose I might enzender disea recently absolutely to prevent ti built aa.dangerot these provisions fc ave det our work I depend surfac tory a and clothing and abundant supply of put which I fully believe are tower Work coma are advertised . all will h e cm, lrainag, already in our possession, ready for :service to every house. water supply and as a valuable sanitory a,.., '— have powers t o erect pu b l i c b at h s an d was hh ouses 'and other appliances which the growing population will soon call for; to provide thos e a d vantages .at t h e pro p er ti m e and in the proper manner, will exercise your discretion, with due regard to the capabilities of the district to bear the cost. - Public order and convenience will require our attention ; an important promoter of these will be the supply of gas for lighting our roads, places of worship and education, docks, workshops, and dwellings. Works for the manufacture and main pipes for the distribution of gas are now in course of construction, and will, I fully expect, be ready to supply the district for the ensuing winter. The management o f t h ese works and the public and private supply of gas will require much diligent attention, in order that their great advantages in promoting the comfort and. security of the public may be also accom a good revenue f or reducing our rates, At panied by ed with the ingemnt, we me ild ew present the.pipes are being laid, and the gasometer, tank, and buildings are in a forward state. Relating to public order, we have duties imposed on us by one of our acts which we are at present powerless to perform, for by the recent general police act we cease to have the management of the police, a n d fi n d considerable difficulty even in carrying out our by-laws. I entertain the opinion that the board will soon find it necessary to employ a class of officers as special constables or orderlies for the purpose, or else obtain a re s t ora ti on of our former district police, in the manner enjoyed by neighbouring commissioners. Public convenience may sooner or later requ i re the establishment of a mark e t. F or th i s we have t h e requisite powers under on e o f our acts. There are several objects pro motive of general improvement not expressly specified in any of our acts which yet, .as the only governing body sitting by the free election of the inhabitants, it seems fitting for us to take up ; I w ill name one only—it is a free public library, and perhaps museum. In a community of at least 13,000 people there is the usual proportion of young persons, and . of badly edu ca t e d persons of riper years, and these have claims upon us w h ic h, in t h e present advanced state of civilisation, are gene ra lly recog nised. To provide means of rightly occupying leisure by the cultivation of the intellect, and by storing the mind with sound and useful knowledge. would be one of the greatest checks to social deterioration and crime. Granting this, I trust an early institution of such an establishment may receive the attention of the board in such degree as may be legally practicable. I shall complete this general view of our position with the subject of our finances, and these, I am happy to say, stand on a sound and satisfactory basis. Our liabilities consist, first, of a bond debt of £5,900 borrowed in five sums by the former Wallasey commissioners ; and, second, of moneys borrowed by us from the Public Works Loan Commissioner, for sewerage works and roads, amounting in the whole, at present, to £8,500, with pros pect of increase to £15,000. The latter is in course of payment by equal annual instalments, and will be cleared off in twenty years from the date of loans; and it seems desirable to pay off the former also, by a reserve of funds for the purpose. Besides these two items, our liabilities will include the cost of gas and water works, which will be repaid by their own revenue in twenty annual instalments ; and ultimately also the purchase money of the ferries, which will become a bond debt whose interest will be paid out of revenue. Our ways and means are, first, certain lands wuose value is at least equal to the old bond debt; and, second, the general and special rates upon an assessible value at present £46,405; but this value is constantly and rapidly increasing, which will be apparent when I state that in 1819 it was only £32,927, showing an increase in ten years of £13,478; but those figures do not present a fair c3mparison, because ten years ago, previous to the introduction of the Public Health Act, lands were assessed in fall as were the houses, but that act relieved the landholders to the extent of £3,000 in their assessment, besides laying the expense of all sewerage upon the occupiers. Now, adding that sum to the present assess able value, it gives £49,405, ma ki ng t h e actual increase on . • assess _..gents. in ten years no less than 50 per cent. Supposing only the same ratio of increase in the ensuing ten years, we shall have a total value of £70,000 ; but, from the vast works hastening to completion in the docks, and our own progressive operations in rendering the district ir- - morr resirable as - 4 a place of residence,- with upwards of £3,000 acres of surface in a locality of great natural salubrity and beauty, that ratio will be vastly accelerated, and we may reasonably expect that in 1869 it will touch the sum of £lOO,OOO. Our general district rates were at one period 2s in the pound ; they are now Is 3d only, and inclusive of the special district rate in the highest rated township, they are only is 9d in the pound,and this notwith standing the large works of drainage and other improve ments which have been carried forward during the last -gra]. years. The total of local burdens, inclusive of poor 9s 10d in the pound. Comparing eleven ibouring parishes or districts (including ev- rates,_ averages Liver . iimpal expenses are defrayed by GLIe oorougn estate, and therefore enjoy an advant;ge), find their average local burdens are 3s 7d in the pound, being 9d more than ours. Birkenhead is is 6d more than ours. Toxteth-park is is 10d more than ours. We have, indeed, to look forward to a lighting rate and water rate, which may at first be felt, but will gradually become insig nificant as burdens, whilst they will lessen the other items of our taxation, as one valuable feature in our accounts will be that whilst each rate will be kept distinct the whole will be virtually one, the surplus from and one being appli- cat. ,ne deficiency in any other one, excepting of courst. the special district rates for sewerage, the costs of which will be met by those who reap the advantage of the works —.441 - - au are pain on. On the principles of finance on which our operations are carried on, it is obvious that the district, at no very distant period, will be in a state of great comfort and independence. Oar sewerage, roads, gas, and water works, will be entirely free from debt, and the expenditure •,, 1 on ineir Demur wit/ ne confined to maintenance and exten sions, which will then be much more than covered by revenue, so 'that the general district rate will have very few and light demands upon it, over and above salaries and establishment expenses, with ordinary wear of roads and sewerage. The sketch I have now presented may suffice to show that ours is no light or unimportant office, but that a work of greater interest or responsibility can hardly engage the time or attention of any gentlemen. There is nothing to hinder our making this large district one of the most healthy and comfortable, and the very cheapest for residence, within any reasonable distance of the great town where. our business avocations are carried on. The area lay before us at first almost a blank, few of the moral or sanatory evils attendant on growing aggregations of men had obtained footing. and consequently the removal of such as had com menced was no difficult work ; no great constructive mistakes had been committed whose rectification would have been costly ; no financial burdens rested on the inhabitants like an incubus forbidding all effort at improvement ; blunders of neighbouring places becanie our beacons; modern science had directed parliament to enactments empowering non corpora' e communities to govern themselves in such Manner as to secure the best practicable sanatory conditions and social well-being, and we took hold of those advantages at a time when they can be most fully carried into effect. The accomplishment of these objects is the trust which we have accepted at the hands of the ratepayers. I hope that any Cattempt to draw your earnest and careful attention to them all will not be altogether useless, and that the results of this most critical and important year may entitle us to receive from our constituents the praise of fidelity. (Applause.) APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES tr. Hill said, he wished to make a motion relative to the appointment of committees, and in doing so he would state, for the information of new members, that they had had two standing and one special committee. From the experience of the works and health committees, it was considered desir able that they should have another committee to attend to the gas and water; and he would, therefore, move that there be four committees, namely, the works and health, the finance, the ferry, and the gas and water committees. This motion was agreed to. It was moved by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Holmes, that Messrs. Hill, H ug h es, P arr, Fi s h w i c k, Littledale, Eyre, Marshall, and Byerley compose the works and health nmitte The board approved of the nomination. Mr. Hill moved, and Mr. Ball seconded, that Messrs. Holmes, Kerford, Ball, Fishwick, Roberts, Byerley, and Harrison compose the finance committeE Mr Tf;11 moved, and Mr. Hughes seconded, that Messrs. Littledale, Hughes, Fishwick, Caine, Hill, Kerford, Ball, and Holmes compose the ferry committee. Mr. Hill moved, and Mr. Fishwick seconded, that Messrs. Hill, Marshall, Hughes, Eyre,- Ball, Holmes, Fish wick, and Parr, compose the gas and water committee. "" 1--- ard were unanimous in their approval of this nomination, Mr. Hill said there was another matter to which he would call attention, in reference to a sort of committee which he might call the plan committee. Mr. Caine and the chair man bad been appointed as a committee to look after the interest of the board in a part of the land called the Hooks. He moved that they be re-appointed and empowered to take such steps as might be necessary. to enforce their claim. The board then adjourned till the 21st instant, at seven o'clock in the evening. S. HELLEWELL, 2 and 3, Quadrant, and 53, Castle-street, Liverpool, gratefully acknowledges the entensive patronage he has received from his friends and the public generally, durinp the eleven years he has been engaged in the Indian Rubber and G utter Percha trade, both as a manufacturer and dealer. His success in uic ; ,,, t7oduction of every variety of waterproof and airproof fabrics, and their .ipplio.tion in the manufacture of garments, life belts, beds, deck, ; sea,. and fishing boats, &c.; and the equally important adapta tion of the same materials to mechanical purposes. He, therefore, deems it due to himself, and to those who may intrust him with their orders, either for export or home use, Ito state, that he is prepared to afford them every advantage he enjoys from lrong experience - a thorough acquaintance with the market—and the preference he has established with the best manufacturers, both us to terms, and the prompt exec'ation of his orders, either here or else,. where ; and, for large wholesale ot•ders he is open to treat with consrmers, or exporters, OP, the most liberal term.— , +* am , tat delgtertissinent. THE NORTHERN TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1859 EXTRAORDINARY AND :USEFUL INVENTION.—There is nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful ness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention, 4 y Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a per fect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articlesspoken of , and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be dwelt oil. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by looking in at his establishment.

VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS, Our patriotic, practical, and facetious friend, "the Butter man," this week gives a satisfactory answer to the question, HOW ARE THEY TO BE " GOT UP?" At 7 A.m., a F ifleman, in heavy marching order, armed to the teeth, mounts guard in front ,f the Butter Place, and there remains on duty to 7 P.M., with the exception of the few minutes he spends before dinner in discharging his rifle, and rubbing up his arms. In his pretty uniform, the ladies unanimously pronounce him "a duck." Mischievous people say he's soiled by Bd. Butter; but that is—untrue. The number of persons that called to see him up to Six on Friday Evening, was exactly 25,500 GENTLEMEN ! 500,000 LADIES ! ! JUVENILES, INCALCULABLE! Am —" The British Grenadiers." The Mayor a public meeting On Friday did convene, At which a mighty concourse • Of every rank was seen; Our worthy Mayor was in the chair, Surrounded by his peers, To hold a debate o n the present state Of the Rifle Volunteers.

The LIVERPOOL REFORM CLUB has been established for the P pose of disseminating political knowledge, by means of Mee • Lectures, Discussions, and otherwise; and for the advanceinelitt enlightened Legislation, Parliamentary, Municipal, and Paros DEFINITE OBJECTS. I.—To carry out the Policy of Free Trade, and to resist all attempts to reverse it. 2.-10 obtain an equitable system of Parliamentary Representation; an extension of the suffrage; and protection to the Elector in the independent exer cise of the Franchise. 3.—To promote the honest and enlightened administra tion of Loc 1 and Municipal affairs. 4.—To act as the Organ for the expression of liberal It is intended that the Club shall be provided with News Roots* and Pubile Committee Meeting Rooms, together with such other accommodation as the Council from time to time may consider necessary for the convenience of the members, in order that the Reformers of Liverpool may be induced habitually to assembl e ogether for the discussion of public measures and public men,-"" expose abuses, and confer end co-operate for their remedy,—con; stitute a rallying point from which the agitation of measures 0 ' reform can be directed,—and generally to render effective aid to the Liberal party of each ward during the various contested election , therein. • In order to promote the expression of public opinion, it 18 pro' posed to hold Periodical Meetings of the members, to consider the more immediately connected with the Town of Liverpool, whereb/ the opportunity will be afforded of publicly discussing the measure and the Representatives, whether Parliamentary, Municipal, 10 , Parochial, will have the advantage and benefit of the expreeiw opinions of their constituents. The entire absence, and consequent loss of power, of other that; individual communication between the Electors, and the 'Elects , ' has been long felt ; and the utter want of organisation has virtuall/ deprived the Liberal party of its real sti ength, because that strengl has been allowed to remain unknown. These, and other defects, b is expected the Council will afford easy means of remedying. The advantages of such an institution must be manifest to all who take an interest in public affairs, and cannot fail to merit the co-opera• tien and support of the great body of the Reformers of the town. On questions of a political and parliamentary nature, the direct operation of the centralised force of such an institution will, it is hoped, be recognised as a great and powerful auxiliary to the Reform Association already in existence, without in any way inter fering with its valuable labours and usefulness. The management of the Club is vested in a Conned of sixty-four members,--one half elected from the body of the Club in public meeting assembled, and the remainder from the Wands, in propor tion of two from each Ward in the Town. The Club will be registeredunder the Limited Lialrility• Act ; the responsibility of members wilt be limited to the amount of their übscriptions. _ _ ee comma, THOMAS COPE. non. See. EE T H. A NEWLY-INVENTED APPLICATION VULCANISED INDIA RUBBER, AS A BASE FOB ARTIFICIAL TEETH, GUMS kLATES MAJESTY'S RY TIER !I t Y2, m - Y ROYAL LETTERS P A T ENT. MESSRS. GABRIEI nave the honour to introduce au entirely novel addliion to Mechanical Dentistry, being the adaptation, with absolute perfection and success, of Vulcanised and Mineralised India Rubber, as a base for Artificial Teeth, &c., being an admirable substitute for the ordinary bone or gold frame, as generally used. In Messrs. Gabriel's IMPROVED MINERAL TEETH, WITH .FLEXIBLE GUMS, there are no springs or wires, and no extraction of roots, while the fit is of the most unerring q,----- extraore Unary results of this invention may be thus briefly enumerated ;—All sharp edges are avoided ; ; no spring wires or fastenings are required; a greatly increased free dom of suction ii supplied; a natural elasticity,* hitherto wholly unattainable, .and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are secured, while, from the softness and flexibility of the agents employed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when loose or rendered ten der by the absorption of the gums. The acids of the mouth exert no agency on the vulcanised india lubber, and, as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature may be re tained in the mouth, all unpleasantness of smell and taste being at the same time provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation. Messrs. Gabrie - 1 are enabled to offer the advantages of first-class materials and workmanship at charges lower than any advertised, from being manufacturers of every speciality appertaining to the profession, only at their ESTABLISHMENTS, 13 4 ~ DUKE-STREET, LIVERPOOL, . . , Opposite Berry-street; • i glav 33, LUDGATE-HILL .
