The incident that had arisen with respect to the Moldavian elections was of course ended by the Porte's compliance with the wishes of the four powers—a fact confirmed by the last despatches received, which further add that M. Thouvenel is to pay an official visit to the Sultan to-morrow, and that diplomatic relations will be at once resumed. It was expected at Constantinople that the new Ministry would be constituted by the end of the present week, The oonduct of Lord Stratford and Baron Prokeseh, in abstaining from joining the other Ambassadors in their representation to the Sultan, is now the only point of the affair possessing interest, and requiring explanation. That want of unanimity, concerning which the Paris papers are not sparing of comment, does not appear to be here dwelt upon or taken up in any unfriendly spirit towards England. It is plainly seen and well known that Lord Stratford is the cause of the hitch ; and people generally have left off being surprised at anything he does. They do inveigh against, and wonder at his Government retaining the services of so troublesome and tur bulent a personage. The censure of foreigners,how ever, is not to be invariably advanced as a sound motive for the removal of an ambassador, since he may very often incur it by doing good service to his country. Lord Stratford has so many enemies at borne as well as abroad, and he has so repeatedly been the cause of trouble to his Government, besides having on at least one recent and well known occasion incurred its severe disapproval, thtt one is led to the inevitable conclusion that he has been so long maintained where he is only on account of his possession of , certain valuable qualities and high qualifications for the post. It is presumable that we shall know something, before long, concerning the reasons he held to justify his recent disobedience of orders. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1857. LIVERPOOL PARISH BURIAL BOARD. fhe anetnal meeting of the Liverpool P *fish Burial Board took place, at noon, yeaterday, in St. Nichol ,air* Church ,tor the election of three members in the room o t those who retired by rotation, and for the transaction of 0 thee business. The chair was occupied by the Rev. Rector ( .7avapbell. Mr. E. HaRVRY, Clerk to the Boart 1, stated that it had been agreed by ballot that Mr. Chu! chwarden Woodruff, Mr. Churchwarden Shaw, and Mr. J.. 1. *Stitt, should be the retiring members this your. In, three years the rule of retiring by regular rotation_ would. prevail. Mr. J. R. JINFERY observed that it would be in tile recollection of the parichioners that on the first election of the Board it was nut thought advisable that Rector Camp bell should be appointed omit until certain questions which it was unnecessary further to allude to had been first settled. These questions were now settled, and the objections to Rector Campbell's election were therefore removed. He (Mr. Jeffer3) was informed that Mr. Shaw was anxious to retire in favour cf Rector, and he had, therefore, much pleasure in moving that Rector Campbell be elected in the room of Mr. Shaw, and that Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Stitt be re-elected. (Hear, hear,) Mr. S. THOItsieRY seconded the molion. Mr. WOole itUFF expressed his regret that from the pressure of other public duties, he bad not been able to devote as much time to the business of the Board as he could have desired. If there was the slightest wish to elect any one in his place—(" no, nu")—he would willingly retire, !areal:lse he had no desire to retain a position the" duties of which be could not fully discharge. The CHAIRMAN said that the only thing that could induct him to act would be the anxious wish which he had always, not only professed, but, he hoped, evinced, to render any service in his power to the parishioners of Liverpool. (Gear, hear.) With regard to this office, he could not see how he could perform its duties.. He was getting a little beyond his work, and he would, therefore, rather decline the office ; but if the parishioners thought he could render them any service, he would at once accent the position. (Hear, hear ) Tue motion was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. J. R. JEFFIIRY thou moved that the salary of the clerk be 450 a-year. It was by no means an adequate remuneration for the work which Mr. Harvey had per formed, but it was to be hoped that for the future his labours would not be so great. Mr. Hewn seconded the motion, which was unani mously adopted. Tae following report was then read : • REPORT of the Burial Board for the Parish of Liverpool to the General Vaitry, August 27, 1857, At the General Vestry held on Easter Tuesday last, the board made a report to the pariseioners, containing aa acoutit of their proce-d nes up to that time, especially of their inquir!es for a suit able piece of land to be purchased for a cemetery, and mentioning also the proceedings then in train for obtaining the author' tativo decision of a court of law on the doubtful construction of the Rereads Acts, w.th relation to tee power of the inhAbitan.s in gen eral vestry assembled o elect the burial board for the parish. Those proceed ings, conducted uneer the advice of eminent counsel, tits en in pur suance of the recommendation of the Boma secretary, were shortly afterwards brought to a most satisfactory issue, setting at rest for over the doubts wh eh would otherwise hive axis ed as to the legal construction of the beard and impede . its action. On a motion before the Court of Queen's ileneh, for a rule calling up,:n the mem. bare r,f the board to show cause why an information in the nature quo trarranto should not be tiled against teem. Mr. Pashloy, Q C., as counsel tor the board, showed cause In the first instance, and the court discha,ged the rule, decidieg .11 faveur of the election ote the board by the general vest y, accompeale t by an intimation approving of the course adopted for obtaining a decision on the , point. The board then resumed teeir inquiries fir land, and the con sideration of suce properties as were offered. or which they could ascertain to be on sale— sleeted in the letter duty by the advicea of Mr. Holland, the medical in.pector of the British Act department of the Home-office. The inspee,or recommended the bead to endeavour to obtain a si a which would to convene nt for the poorer classes, and sufficiently near the town to admit or inexpensive access. The township of Toxteth-park being provid el with a cemetery situated near the southern part of the town, ea advised 'he board to turn their attention to the norther,: and eastern neighbourhood; and stated from his experience that cemeter es, proper, lad out and conducted itchier due regulations, so tar from being a disadvantage to the neighbourhood, hail proved advantageous, and popul r and suitable places of resort. He further suggested that, if the site of the cemetery were contiguous to a ranee pa k, tee two migut be Laid out so as to harmonise with each other. The Newsham-house estate, purchase, by tie corporatiea, was suggested as mee ing, in point of situation, the recommendations es tae medical inspect in and it was determ , nsd to ascertain whether tee corporation weeld be willing to part with a portion of that proper y to the Bur al Board for a cemetery, and if their answer should be fa' tearable, to proceed to the requisite exami nation and surveys, to enable the board to judge of its suitability with respect to quality of soil, facility of drainage, and other pal titulars. An application was made by let er to the finance committees of the Town Councelon the leth of May last, requesting an appointment for a deputation from the board to wait upon them on the subject, and en interview took place, purse int to appoi talent, on the lath of June, betweee the flu:taco committee and a deputation from the board, who explained the above v ewe. The ape.icatien was fav„urably enter tained by the Comm use, who undertook to bring the subject before the corn settee fortneir decision. Pressure of o her public business of the highest n geney and im °nailed. and consequent absence of members of the finance conmittee and office s of tne Council, have caused some delay in the matter being considered by the C 'uncle but their decision will now probably be shortly obtained. Should that decision be favourable ' toe board propose to take the necessary measures to obtain the further iurormati 'n required by them respect the estate, and the various de , ails necessary to enable them to form a judgement as to the propriety of its adoption for the site of a cemetery. At present they can express no opinion on that question, nor are they in fact in a position to form an opinion of the desirab lity of the properly in auyp rticuler, except that of situation, until they have had a report ou the retails above alluded to. The board, feel, however, that, write holding themselves perfectly free to r e ject the property, should they, on further inquiry and consideration, deem it expedient to do so, yet that they could not consider they had adeqnateey fulfilled their duty of ascertaining all the land available to theta in the neighbourhood of Liverpool befo o m king their select ion, without learning whether a portion of the News iam Estate can be obtained, and if so giving it a cerefai coasieeration. Other properties have also come under their notice, present ne various tomperative advantages and disalvantages, and the different modes of access by railway, road, and canal, have also ..ad the atter, non of the board. On the suteect of aces s by canal, they have applied to the Home eeeretery for his advice, and he has directed the medical inspector to make a report of the subj et. The board feel strongly impressed, from the information they have acquirel on the different subjects bear ne upon the selection of a site and the mode of using and regulating a cemetery, with the prudence and propriety of not hastily coming to a eetermination. The consequences of any error or Oversight would be p:rtnanent, and the d nit:Laity in n neighbourhood so densely peopled, and where the price of land is so high, as that of Liverpool, of ele , osing a piece of land combining the greatest number of advantages with the fewest objections, renders circumspection peculiarly necess ry. The bill which ha. been introdac el by government in the present session of parliament, for amend ng the existing burial sae has also had the attention of the board. 7 his bill has to dergone various alterat out during its progress through the legislature, but if passed in the form in which it now stand., as it probably will b it will materially affect the quantity et land necessary to be provided for a cemetery. The bid wi 1 short y pass into law, and wll then guide the board on this point Tee feet of its b-ing actually before the house of parliament would, bowers - , have alone rendere I it prudent to postpone making a determination until i s provielous in their final state are known. It may be adder that the board have suggested amendments in the wording of the b 11 considered to be caten• lated to extend its usefulness, which ameudmente have, to some eeteat, been adopted. It is hoped when the Act appears in its final state, its provisions wed be found to enable the trans er of the Walton Cemetery to tee burial board, should such transfer appear desirable to all parties concerned. On tue subj -ct of the Necropoli , an axe angement has been come to between the parties concerned, with the tomurrence of the build board, which, it is hoped, may prose satisfactory t s all parties. It wili be recollected tent tue last report m neons the tact that the committee of grave wi era had proposed to the Templeton of the Necropolis that tee entre management of tilt cemetery shouel he transformed to the bur al b etre, acrd had a.,plied to the b card fa: their assent to mu transfer. The report fur her states that the proposition should have their teteful camera:aeon. A neg. elation lets since taken place, which has resulted in the following arrangement. being agr. el upon between tire pa ties, and assented to by the Burial aeard, so far as regarea the p stout members of the board, though its insure is such, 'hat no compact, permanently binding on the uo .rd, cote r be meets: Tae e acropolis is for the eature t be uncle, - the management of ten gentlemen, et whom live f are to be selected by the propr etors ; three (being grave-owners and net pr iprietore) are to be selected by the g rave -owners; and two are to be named by, and out of, the Burial Board, not bung pr 'p esters. This arrangement necessitat s a supplemental deed of settlement, which is nee being prep ;red by sir. erook, the baeister.

Algeria, on this day of national rejoicing, raises h r voice to the Throne, with the more assurance that she is proud of having merited well of the mother country. While her abundant crops are ficwing to the markets of France, the army of Africa inscribes a fine page in her military history. The conquest of Kabylia is not only a title of glory for the army, but it effects a great progress in our colonization, which stands in need of space, arms, and se curity. The work, gentlemen, advances; prrpeaty becomes secure ; our commercial relations extend more and more every year ; our agriculture improves, and our manufac tures develop themselves; and it is manifest to every eye that our young colony is in the most prosperous state. One wish, however, remains for us to form, which, by being renewed every year, cannot fail to become more ardent. It is that of seeing the Emperor on these shores, of enabling him to judge from person2l observation what we are all doing, each in our several spheres, for the prosperity of the colony, and receiving from his Majesty's mouth those expressions of satisfaction which increase tenfold the happiness of having done well. That day, we dare hope, will -come, and then, as to-day, we will unite our voices in the patriotic acclamations of " Vive 'Frvereur !" " Five e"lmperatrice !" " Vive le Frince Intparia !" AUSTRIA. VIENNA, AUG. 24 The Triester Zeitung learns from the Dardanelles that the Porte intends to summon to Constantino pie delegates from the different Greek communities, and to take their opinion on a project for the future constitution.of their church.

The programme of the solemn entry of the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and of the Arch duchess Charlotte into Milan has already been drawn up. The whole garrison will parade, and a double hedge will be formed by the troops from the railroad station to the palace. The " Place-majors" will lead the procession, and the state carriage is to be followed by the commander of the corps which occupies Milan, and by the military commander of the city. The Lombard aristocracy will he invited to attend in their carriages. It need hardly be said that there will be a great ringing of bells., playing of military bands, and thundering of cannon as the Governor-General of the Lom bardo-Venetian kingdom and his fair bride pass through the streets of Milan.

A telegraphic despatch in the Univers announces that the Pope arrived at Leghorn on the 25th, and was most warmly received. From the Monitore Toscano we learn that on the 21st, his Holiness gave his benediction from a balcony of the Pitti Palace to the Tuscan army drawn up on the square below. He afterwards set out for Plato and Pistoia, and returned to Florence the same day about dinner time. In the afternoon he visited the Hospital of Santa Maria Nueva, in company with the Grand Duke, and gave his benediction to the patients. On his retarn to the palace he was greeted by four bands of musicians, preceded by a detachment of 300 solidiers, wjth torches. The bands continued playing under the Pope's windows until ten at night The Opinione of Turin states, from Naples, that since the discovery of arms and ammunition on board the two Neapolitan steamers, mention( d last week, several houses in the capital have been searched, and some arrests made. A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels says : • The dispute between Naples and Piedmont, on the snbject of the seizure of the Cagliari, is becoming compli cated. The cabinet of Turin insists on the release of the passengers of that vessel, and the Neapolitan government ran' es until the trial of the insurgents of Sapri shall have terminated. The reply of M.

THE RMPRESS EUGENIE AT A BULL FIGHT. BIARRITZ, MONDAY, AUG. 24. The Emperor left this yesterday, at half-past 12 o'clock, en route for Paris, and a telegraphic , despatch re ceived this afternoon announces that he has arrived there. On taking leave of the authorities at the railway terminus his Majesty said " jusqu'a i'annee prochaine." One of the gentlemen in attendance expressed his surprise and regret that the Emperor's stay should be so brief in this part of the country, and his hopes that his Majesty would return during the autumn, were it but for a few days. The Emperor replied that it was very doubtful. After exchanging compliments with the authorities, he took leave of the Empress, who had accompanied him in an open carriage to the station, and, attended by M. Fould, Minister of State, entered the carriage prepared for him. In a few moments the Imperial train was out of sight. The Emperor was met by the Prefect of the Landes at a short distance from Mont de Marsan, the chief town of the department, and visited a property which he has lately purchased in that neighbourhood. The Minister of State returns to Tarbes in order to preside at the Conseil General of the department. The Empress returned to Biarrits, but again proceeded to Bayonne at three o'clock to attend a bull-€ght iu the Faubonrg of St. Esprit, on the same spot where these sports have been held for the last few years. The King of Wurtemburg, who was curious to witness, for the first time, 'I believe, this humanising amusement so dear to Spaniards, took his seat in the bull-ring at a quarter to four, attended by 'his suite : and her Majesty the Empress, accompanied by her sister and the ladies who are in ordinary waiting upon her, was punctual to the moment, and made her appearance in her box pre cisely at, four. The bullfighters only awaited the presence of her Majesty to begin operations. The Mayor of St. Esprit, after the usual preliminaries, gave the signal to the troop (euadrilla). The stall where the animals are kept in waiting was thrown open, and the first bull bounded into the arena. He gave sport the usual times. and , after undergoing the usual process of torture, secundurn artem, to the apparent satisfaction of the amateurs high and low, he encountered the sword of the redoubtable Salarnanquino, who gave him the quietus from which there is no escape. The second anima► afforded for the same space of time a smaller pleasure to the upper and lower hundreds, and met the same inevitable fate as his prede- cessor. The applause from the boxes, which testified to the ability of the bullfighters, and of the matador in particu lar, were scarcely hushed, when the sky became overcast. The very moment when the third bull was about to issue from his stall a flash of lightning shot from a pile of black cloud which hung in the sultry atmosphere, the distant roar of thunder was heard, the heavy drops, announcing the presence of the storm, fell in the arena, and in a few minutes the rain rushed down with violence. The sport was at once interrupted ; but if that was the only casualty of the day there would net be much to lament. To escape the "pelting of the pitiless storm,''—for thunder, light ning, and rain threatened to come in full career—numbers of the spectators rushed to the gallery or platform where the musicians were stationed, and which, except the reserved boxes, was the only spot covered by an awning. The gallery consisted merely of boards laid horizontally, with their extreme ends resting for their only stay on wooden posts, but with no support in the centre. It might have borne all day without accident the 49 or 50 musicians who were stationed there to — cheer the spirits of the spectators, but it could not resist the weight of the hundreds who rushed at once on it for shelter. It was the weakest part of the whole structure; and it was, moreover, immediately over the spot where the mules and the muleteers usually employed in removing from the arena the horses that have been torn and disembowelled by the bulls, as well as the slaughtered bulls themselves, are kept in attendance. Amid the storm and confusion, the fragile structure sud • denly gave way, and the crowd that clung to it were precipitated to the ground. A cry arose from the multi tude. It was feared that several 'persons were killed. The fear was exaggerated ; it is said that one man only was crushed, if not to instant death, in such a manner as to leave but little hope of surviving ; and eight or ten, according to one:account, five or six according to another, have either had limbs fractured or are severely bruised. One of the animals underneath was killed, but he probably saved one or two human beings from the same fate. The confusion was at its height. The rain still rushed down, but it did not seem to diminish the ardour of the spectators for the bull-fight. The manager, naturally enough, thought that the weather, not to speak of the disaster which just occurred and the sight of the victims, would dispense him from presenting the rest of the bulls. He was never more mistaken. The continuance of the " sport " was called for as if nothing had happened, and enraged by the delay of the manager, the most enthusiastic of the spectators shouted at the highest pitch of their voices, gesticulated angrily, and swore, and still no bull making his appearance, they fell to tearing up benches, breaking down barriers, and breaking everything they could lay hands on into pieces. The disaster and the confusion which followed, was not a spectacle of the most agreeable kind to man or woman. The Empress, doubtless, thought the same. Accompanied by her ladies, she returned to Biarritz, not, however, without having made inquiries as to the state of the wounded, and having received assurances that they should be taken cars of. All chance of continuing the " amusement," now that her Majesty honoured the ring no longer with her presence, was of course, over, but the rioters still continued their uproar. The troops interfered, and after some delay and difficulty the place was cleared, and by the joint exertions of the civil authorities and the soldiers, tranquility was restored. The second bull tight, which was to have taken place this day, has been post • poned, until the broken posts, benches, and galleries have been restored. Whether the Empress intends to appear again on some future Sunday at these bull fights is not stated. The Emperor is, I believe, sincerely desirous to restore as much as possible the observance of Sunday among the population of Paris and the departments, the disregard of which is one of the rewants of the revolution. The working men, who are paid by the day, excuse their vio lation of it on the ground of the loss of a day's wages to themselves and their families. They may probably point to the example of similar disregard on the part ot• the Court, but unpaliiated by any such excuse. The Imperial Court has within the last few days augmented its spiritual resources. It has now the religious aid of Cardinal Merlot, Archbishop of Paris. just named Grand Almoner, in addition to the Bishop of Nancy, the First Almoner, not to speak of a considerable number of spiritual advisers of an inferior degree. None of those right rev. or rev. persons will hesitate to declare, if necessary, that the bull-ring, with its ordinary accompaniments, is not pre cisely the place to visit an hour or so after divine service on such a day, and that the presence of the Court on such an occasion is not the most edifying spectacle to present to the people. A CURIOUS BIGAMY CASE. In the police court, on Thursday, Mr. John Henry Bate, an English gentleman, was arraigned, and waiving an examination, was held to 600 dols to trial on a charge of bigamy. The complaint was made at t'te ins'ance of Mrs. Georsianna M. Bate, wiles° story is somewhat singular. The case was about two years since before the lower tribunals of the New York City for examination. and at that time formed the sui-ject of a large number of newspaper paragraphs. It finally died out, however, and was not heard of again unill its revival within a 1 1 , w days in this city. The lady, Mrs. Georgianna M. Bate, allege , that Mr. Bate, the party defendant, was lawfully married to her in England, Soma 22 years since ; that be sub:equsnt'y married anot er woman in England, and was convicted of bigamy there, and that in c msequence of her efforts his punishment w; s only one month's imprisonment. These effsrts in his behalf were made, as Mrs. Bate says, upa 1 his promite to live with her, and i o give up his second wife. The promise was not kept, however, and the next that was heard of the case was about nine years since, as Mrs. Bate repre•ents, she caught her truant husband in Canada, and obliged him, in the language of the p 'pars ofthe day," to pay her handsomely for allowing him to go at large." The story is now, that after leaving England, Mr. Bate was reported to be deaf, and the fam ly went into mourning for him. Mrs. Bate, supposing herself a widow, married again, and was after a while, astonished by the return of her sponse, and was reminded of the nature of her conjugal vows by a judicially irflicted pnnishent for bigamy. The twain was now about even, but the lady soon recovered herself, and following Mr. Bate to this eountry, again procured his arrest in New York, as absve stated. Mrs. Bate says that the case against her husband has failed each time in consequence of the absence of a witness of her marriage with him, and now, having crossed the Atlantic for a third time, she alleges that the cage is, in this particular at least, complete. The maiden name of the proseeut ng la ly was Geergianna Mit'ilda Cartwright, and that of the second wife, to whom the deettlant is said to have 'eon inanied in Suffield, Ergland, in 1833, was Elisabeth Chapman. f m als is the ex . raordleary and almost incredible story of Mrs. Georeanna M. Bate, and her statements are backed up by papers pu-portiing to be ooples of records. Mr. Bate, for his part, chilies any acquaints/ice with the lady who thus claims to be his original wife, and says he 0117 knows of her by reason of the persecutions t o wh c h she has ralsjectet. i him for the past ten years. Mr. Bate we believe, keeps a sort of a pu Michelase int .ie city; he is living with the second wife, who is the Mother of fourteen of his children. The case will be likely to excite sos7 lo interest should it ever reach a trial before a jury. Mr. Augustus Russ appears as counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. James Eagaa for the ,derendatat.—Boston Traveller.

The arrival of the Converer, 101, screw two-decker, Captain Yelverton, C. 8.. at Spithead, is to be accounted for as follows .—When Admit. 11 Lord Lyons was at Gibraltar with his squadron, the transport Abeona, des tined to bring the 47th Regiment to England, arrived from Malta in a disabled state. As the Governor of Gibraltar represented to the Admiral that the authorities at home were particularly desirous of getting the 47th to England with the least possible delay, his Lordship detached the best. line.of.battleship at his disposal for the purpose, and at 24 hours' notice from the time of the Governor's expressing his wish the whole regiment were embarked and the Conqueror under way. She made the passage to Spithead in six days. Her troops were landed on Tuesday afternoon by the steam-tugs Pigmy and Comet at Clarenee.yard, whence they proceeded by rail to quarters. The screw despatch steam gun-vessels Roe buck, Sparrowhawz, and Assurance, 6, Commanders Martin, Ansesley, and Byng, have left Spithead for Calcutta, under convoy of Captain De Courey, in the Pylades screw 21.

Lindsay & Co., fitted out at Deptford to receive the artillery troops for Kurrachee, went down to Woolwich 01 Tues day evening, and has still a number of artificers on board arranging the military fittings. She was expected, however, to be in readiness yesterday for the inspection of the Naval Board, and will probably embark her troops this day (Friday). They are to consist of Lieutenant— Colonel E.

The usual weekly meeting of this Committee was held yesterday, Mr. Alderman Dover in the chair. The other members present were Messrs. Beckwith, M`Giffie Hodson, Stitt, Ilaydoek, Cros'lwaitP, Godfrey, an 1 A. C Stewart. HEALTH OF THE TOWN. The Medical Officer of Health reported that the mor tality of the borough sill continued high; the deaths in the week r;;. 1 !:13.• the 22nd instant being 277, or 3 more than in the previous week, and 20 more than the corrected average of the same week of the preceding nine years, excluding 1819. The deaths in the parish Were 203, and in the out-townships 76. D; . -eases of the zymotic clas caused 114 deaths. Of these, 63 were from di trrhcet, (the corrected average being 57) 19 from hooping-cough, 14 from scarlatina, 8 from fever, 5 from small poi (2 after vaccination) 2 from measles, and 1 from cholera. From diseases of the lungs, with consumption, the deaths were 48. The temperature had been 6* degrees above tie average. Mr. RICHARD SAYE reciaested the sanction of the com mittee for the Construction of a slaughter-house in a yard, entering from Damlie-street, behind his shop in Watorloo road. Messrs. HODSON, GODFIUSY, and STITT were appointed to insp?ct the premises. Ou the motion of Mr. STITT, it was sgreed that a return should be made of the deaths from liarrLim a in 1858-7. The MEDICAL OFFICER of HEALTH said that the deaths from diarrhcel were less last week than in the correspond ing week of last year, and the inere.sed mortali'y was immediately due to the unusually high temperature, which would not continue, he expected, beyond the pre sent week. WATERING Tun STREETS. n answer to the Chairman, The BOROUGH ENGINEER said that they were now enabled to water the streets far more effectually than they were ever done before. Last week two million gallons of water were used for watering the streets and the sewers. In the same week of 1850, the quan.o , of water used was 154,000 gallons. Mr. CROSTIVRAITIII said that that subject had nothing to do with the quality of he water, which was abominable. At his own how', this week, the water direct from the main was not drinkable. RVERTON-E13.0W. A memorial was read from some inhabitants of Evertor' with reference to the dangerous state of Evertor-brow. The memorial, after some remarks in favourof it from Mr. Stitt, was referred to the 133 rough Eigineer. Mr. lionsmr complained that three more children were drowned in the pits at the back of the Zoological gardens last week. He advised that they be filled up. The LAW CLERK said he would enquire if the committee bad-any power in the matter. SANITARY OPRRATIONF. The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and Inspecto'r of Nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations in their severa departments daring the week. from which it appeared that 190 inspections were made of dilapidated privies and ashpits ; 1,129 cesspools had been discharged ; 110 nuisances complained of by inhabitants had been inspected and means taken to remedy them; 878 houses in the unhealthiest districts, containing 3,165 apartments, and 680 cellars, bad been put under exami nation with the view of improving their sanitary condition, and 279 lodging houses had also been examined and reported upon. IMPORTATION OP GUNPOWDER INTO THE TOWN. Mr. M'Guffi3 and Mr. Golfrey, complained that large vantities of gunplwdE. , r were landed at some of the shins on the river side and taken into the town. The Lew CLERK said he would enquire in .o the matter, which he thought ought to be dealt with by the Wateh Committee. • The committee then adjourned. DOCK COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of this Committee was held at one o'clock yesterday in the Dock Offices—Mr. C. Turner in the chair. Other members present—Messrs. Chilton,Talmer, Little dale, Rounthwaite,l4ockett, Mondell, Clint, Anderson, W. Rathbone, jun., and field. The CRAIRMAN announced that the balance due to the Corporation for the year ending June, 1856, on account of the Birkenhead Decks, was 604 17s 4d, and on account of the dock warehouses, £1,872 lOs 31—in all £5,177 8s ld, which the Finance Committee would pay over to the Corporation. The minutes of the Marine Department (sub-committee) were read. They staled that the new landing stage would be opened on next Tuesday by the CJinmittee, when they would proceed on their annual inspection of the light ships. They recommended that the crew of the smal: stage be transferred to it for the present, and that the appointment of officers to work it permanently be at once made. Mr. J. HARTLEY laid on the table the plans of the shed accommodation which would be required on the new eage. Some conversation grow as to the dnty of the Corpo ration to erect those sheds, and whether they were included in the contra3t. Mr. LOCKETT observed tint the men working the stage would require a shed. Mr. PALMER thought the C rporation should act in the matter, as they would no doubt act if the Conservancy Bill were not in existence. Mr. MUNDELL asked if there would be chains on the stage ? • Mr J. HARTLEY replied in the negative, and observed that the stage would be safer without chains. On the old stage wherever anything was to be seen on the river, the people pressed against the chains, and he feared that some day en accident would in consequence occur there. It was resolved that the plans should be sent to the Corporation, with a statement as to the necessity of shed accommodation to the workisg of the stage. Mr. BOLD gave notice, that neat week he would move for a return from the Stanley, Wapping, and Albert ware houtves, of the surp us cargo of ships not given up to the owners or captains since the docks were opened. Mr. CLINT obs , nyed that even at the present moment he had cause to complain of the regulation in regard to tsar plus cargo. There were five bags of rice surplus in the Turin, but her cargo was short by two bags of sugar and one bag of linseed. He had to pay f r the sugar and linseed, but the rice was k , pt by the dock authorities. The CSIAIHMAN replied that the committee acted under legal advice in tie matter. They were bound as Trustees to hold all surplus cargo until some party showed claim to it. Mr. CLINT said that the regulation caused great irrita— lion in the binds of shipowners, and he did not think the legal opinion on the m otter a very deoisive one. Mr. Dforrnsu. wioild be glad to see the question deter mined one way or the e , h: r. He, himself, was a sufferer by the present regulation. Mr. NORTH (solicitor) said that the opinion of counsel had been taken on the case, which had been most carefully stated. There could b no question about the law of the case, so far as his judgment went. The dock trustees received the goods upon an emus trust to account fur them to the legal owners. Mr. CLINT: And if the legal owners never tura up, to keep them. Mr. Noura : The shipowner has no right to them ; they belong to the shipper, who shipped them in mistake. Yee, may hive to piy for short cargo, bit that is no argument why any surplus should be given to yoa. The one may be your misfortune, the other would be a wrong. The matter then dropped. A letter was read from Mr. Eyre Evans, protesting against the appropriation of any of the land at the Huskisson Dock for the purposes of a bonded timber yard. Mr. MoNDELL said he thought it was a very proper letter. Ia his opinion the timber trace should unite as one body, and demand the repeal of the duty on foreign timber. M. CLAYTON : What would the colonial timber trade say to that.? Mr. MoNDBLL : them say what they please. (Lanh+er.) They have now the advantage of building o British flag, compete with ships their ships of untaxed materials. and while enj )osg the pr,vil ges oft he built in this cou n t r y of taxed mht , riAls. This elneluded the general bu Bess. THE ARDDXSUOP OF CANTERBURY AND THE INDIAII REVOLT. -Mg G.-ace the Archbishop of Cauteibury has addressed the following letter to each of the archdeacons of his diocese:— Addington Park, Aug., 1857.
