THE FORESTERS' BALL.—The Foresters' soiree and ball, which was advertised to take place in the Teutonic Hall last, evening, has been, it appears, unavoidably postponed till a future date. ANNUAL TEA MEETING.—The annual tea meeting of the inhabitants of the " Dock Cottages" was held last evening, in the Trinity Church schoolroom, near the entrance to the park, Birkenhead. The meeting, which was well attended, was in aid of projected new school rooms. After tea the Rev. J. Burnett, 8.A., took the chair, and the audience was addressed by several gentle men. DEATH OF MR. HENRY CURRY.—Great regret was universally expressed on 'Change yesterday, at the announcement of the death of Mr. Henry Curry (of the well-known firm of Curry, Kellock & Co.). who expired at his residence at Claughton on Sunday morning. Few mercantile men in Liverpool possessed more sterling or varied talents than Mr. Curry, whose place will not easily be filled, and who posessed in an eminent degree the art of making and keeping troops of friends. WAVERTREE BOARD OF HEALTH.—The first meeting , of the new board was held last night at the Public offices, Waverteee. According to the provisions of the act under which the Wavertree Board of Health is con stituted four gentlemen retire annually, but they are eligible for re-election. The retiring members on the present occasion were Messrs. W. Rushton, D. Cargill, John Lewis, and Patrick O'Connor, which gentlemen were re-elected without opposition. The following members were present last night—J. A. Picton, John Bradburn, Rushton, George Pennington, P. O'Connor, Lewis, and Anderton. On the motion of Mr. Rushton, it was unanimously agreed that Mr. Picton be re-elected chairman. Mr. Bradburn was appointed vice-chairman; Messrs. O'Connor, Lewis, Cared], and Pennington were nominated as the Finance Committee. It was com plained that on Good Friday the town had been par tiCularly dark, and it was suggested that on future occasions the lamps should be lighted. It was stated that the payments made to the Gas Company were at rate of £2 per lamp, for which they were entitled to barn gas 2,000 hours in the course of the year. It was further observed that though the price of gas had been lowered to the public, there had been no reduction to the board. Mr. Gore was appointed to investigate the matter, and communicate with the Gas Company. This was all the public business of any interest. LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—WHO INVENTED DUNCAN'ii WATER METER ? —The ordinary monthly meeting of this society was held at the Royal Institu• tion, Colquitt-street, last evening. Mr. Maxwell Scott, the president, took the chair. Mr. John Abraham, the hon. sec.,. stated that he had communicated with Mr. W. Brown, relative to a proposed plan for the exhibi tion of models or applications o practical science, in a department to be specially set aside in the new Free Library and Museum, in Shaw's-brow. He believed both Mr. Brown and the Town Council were ready to . make arrangements for the exhibition in question.—The President said Mr. Duncan, the borough water engineer, was present to contradict the statement in reference to the water meter made by Mr. M'Donald, at the last meeting, who claimed the invention as his opn.—Mr. Duncan then, at some length, entered into a detailed account of the circumstances relating to his invention of the present water meter. He also pointed to the fact that on a former occasion Mr. M`Donald claimed as his invention another model, which was substantially different to the one be now claimed. The statements made by Mr. M'Donald were altogether without correct ness. Had the statements been made to gentlemen who knew both parties, he would never have taken the trouble to contradict them. Much grosser imputations had been thrown upon him, but he never deigned to reply ; but when he was accused of avaricious ness, and every other crime in the catalogue, it was high time, as he held a public position, that he should say something to vindicate his character. He was not indebted to Mr. M'Donald for the invention, and he never had a drawing from him of it. The whole statement was a tissue of fabrications from bee-inning to end.—Mr. M'Donald said he had' simply to reiterate the statement he made previously, and it would be assertion against assertion, and each could go for what it was worth. They often heard that it was the tailor who made the man, and he often dressed up a splendid villain in fine clothes. (Order, order.) It was equally possible for an ingenious mechanic to garnish a machine like this so as to disguise it; but neithers tailors nor machinists could make principles. He could only repeat what he had said, and add that what he had stated admitted of the fullest and most conclusive proof.—Mr. Duncan, in reply, said he could tell them most distinctly and most solemnly that Mr. M`Donald never gave him any drawings ; ho never described the machine, and. the whole thing was one tissue of fabrication from beginning to end. He never saw any drawing of Mr. M'Donald's, except a drawing of a cock, which - was found to be utterly worthless, and an old invention, well known in gas works. He was sorry Mr. M'Donald should have so 'far perjured him self, and so far forgotten what was due to his own character and the character of others, as to come forward and. reiterate that which had not the remotest founda tion in fact. To Mr. M'Donald he bore no malice ; he was more to be pitied than blamed. He (Mr. Duncan) defied the world to say he ever purloined from.any man that which was his, or ever wished to defraud him of one single iota of merit which he had a right to claim. He would scorn to do such a thing, or he vould not be worthy of the position he occupied in Liverpool. (Applause.) He would never enter the arena of contro versy with Mr. M'Donald again.—The subject then dropped.--e-The paper for the evening was by Mr. James Smith, " Upon the Employment of Water as a Distri butor of Mstive . Power." INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THE WOMAN WHO WAS KILLED AT EASTHAM. Yesterday, at the Ferry Hotel, before Henry Churton, Esq., an inquest was held on the body of the unfortu nate woman, Fitzgerald, who was trampled to death on the slip on Good Friday night. No new facts were presented in the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of " accidental death," with a presentment " that without attaching any blame to the lessee of the ferry, the jury consider that the permanent arrangements on the slip and its precincts are inadequate for the safe management of the large incidental traffic on Sundays and holidays." LIVERPOOL BOROUGH SESSIONS. The usual Quarter Sessions for this borough were held yesterday morning, before Gilbert Henderson, Esq., Recorder. The following gentlemen were sworn on the Grand Jury : Mr Peter George Heyworth, merchant, North John-street, . . Foreman Mr Thomas Stephenson, merchant, Rumford-place Mr Alexander Dunlop Anderson, merhant, Cook-street . ... Mr Alexander Balfou'r, merchant, Cook7street, Mr Samuel Marshall broker, Peter's-place Mr George Barnsley, broker, Tithebarn-street Mr James Bulser, shipowner, &c., Great George-square Mr Joseph Coltart, shipowner, Chapel-street Mr Robert Crooks, merchant, Molyncux-olace. Water-street Mr William Parkinson Clarke, broker, Rumford-street East Mr James Daiglish, merchant, Oldhall-street Mr George Langford Fosberv, merchant, Tithebarn-street Mr Edgar Garston, merchant, Rumford-place Mr Ralph Heap, wholesale grocer, Malthew-street Mr Charles Paul Phipps, merchant, Cook-street Mr Richard R•inkin, ironfounder, Manchester-street Mr William Tarbet, jun., merchant, Tower-buildings Mr John Tyner, agent, Hanover-street Mr Caleb David Watson, shipbroker, Water-street - - The proclamation against vice and immorality having been read, the learned Recorder delivered his charge to the grand jury. He said it was peculiarly gratifying to him, at this holiday season of the year, to find so good an attendance of the grand jury; to see so many gentle men like themselves ready to come forward and set an excellent example, by devoting their time to assist in the administration of justice. There was one topic upon which he might venture to congratulate them ; and that was the present state of the jail. The new building was constructed fur 1,080 prisoners ; but during the years it had been open it frequently happened that the number of cells was insufficient to carry out the original system of accommodating the prisoners ; but at the pre sent time that was far from being the case, as on Friday last the number in the jail was only 726. This diminu tion might probably be accounted for by the increased severity with which incorrigible male offenders had lately been treated. Instead of oscillating between Liver pool and Walton oakum-picking and thieving, numbers of those under sentence of penal servitude had been sent to Portsmouth, Chatham, &c., where they had been compelled to labour at the public works. Perhaps, in some degree, to the same cause might be attributed the fact that the number of females now charged with felony is greater than the nuthber of males. The calendar, however, on the present occasion, is not light. After a lapse of five weeks they would find eighty names, probably to be increased to ninety before they separated. There were several cases of embezzlement, one to the amount of £2OO. ' The heaviest charge of theft was one in which a pig dealer from Ireland got drunk and was robbed of £BO, of which, through the vigilance of the police, £6O has been already recovered. This was one of many cases in which crime in Liverpool was increased, and great trouble given to the authorities and eipense to the public, by the profligate conduct of strangers who visit the town. The offence of pocket-picking seemed to have increased. In two instances the scene was laid in an omnibus. There wore also a number of persons charged with passing base coin. About two years ago a number of persons were convicted and punished by the present court for fraudulent plunder by means of mock auctions. Several cases of a similar description would come before them, and he thought that when such practices were brought within the reach of the law it was highly desirable that they should be suppressed. According to the evidence in one case a poor labourer was induced to pledge his property in order to raise money to buy for 6s. a brass chaia, not worth 6d., and a watch for £l, whose extreme value was 55., and which was utterly worthless as a measurer of time. There was also a case of a very discreditable description, in which a woman, to mark another against whom she had some ill-feeling, actually picked away part of her eyelid. He believed there was not a single case in the calendar of a juvenile offender—that was, a prisoner under six teen years of age. There were several cases in which he thought nice points of law were likely to arise, but he preferred dealing with them when the facts of the case were exactly ascertained on the trial before him. If, however, when the cases were under consideration by the grand jury, they found any difficulty, he would be most happy to give them his assistance and advice. At present he did not think it necessary, as sound sense and good law went together. The jury then retired, and the trial of prisoners was proceeded with. The following sentences were passed :—Eliza Riley, stealing three yards of shirting, one month ; Samuel Heenan, embezzling £l4, five months; Thomas Harvey, stealing 10s., one month ; Catherine Quinn, stealing 6s. 11d., six months; Ellen White, stealing nineteen yards of plaid, eight months; Catherine Kirk, stealing a coat, five years penal servitude ; Ann Stephenson, stealing two petticoats, &c., three years' penaliservitude. circular from the Horse Guards reduces the bounty for recruits to £2, and a free kit of necessaries. LIVERPOOL PROTECTIVE BURIAL SOCI ET ir. SOIREE LAST NIGHT. A tea-party and soirée, to aid the benevolent fund of the above most excellent and prosperous institution, was held last night, in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. About 900 persons partook of a bountiful tea, provided by Mr. Milbourn. Amongst those present were James R. Jeffery, Esq., Town Councillor ; T. Martin, Esq.; Dr. M'Clellan, and Messrs. Joseph Shepherd, Henry Smith, Henry Taylor, Michael Murphy, Frederick Phillips, IV. Edmonson, Edward Vaughan, J. Carroll, Patrick G. Murphy, D. M'lntyre, Scc. It may not be uninteresting to state that this society was established in 1856. The treasurer is Robertson Gladstone, Esq. ; and the trustees and guardian com mittee comprise, amongst others, the names of Francis Shand, Esq., James Holme, Esq., Charles Turner, Esq., Gilbert W. Moss, Esq., J. R. Jeffery, Esq., J. B. Aspi nall, Esq., Alderman Woodruff, &c., &c. The progress of the society would appear to have been marked ; for it appears from the published returns that whilst in the first quarter of its existence the income was £217, in the twelfth quarter, ending the 31st of December last, the income had risen to £963. The amount paid in the twelfth quarter was £4BO, and there is cash in the bank to the amount of £1,588. We learn that the causes which led to the founding of a benevolent fund in con nection with this society have not ceased to exist. It is found that notwithstanding all the efforts of the mem bers, And the regularity of the collectors in calling upon them for their subscriptions, from want of employment, and other circumstances beyond their control, many have been found at the time of their decease to have no claim to the benefits of the society under the rules ; and as the committee and officers have no discretionary power to dispense the funds of the society except as pre scribed by the rules, they have had great pleasure in distributing to the most deserving claimants a portion of the fund placed at their disposal, comprising the surplus of the late annual tea-party and soiree, and the donations of benevolent persons. The entertainment referred to having met with the approval of the mem bers, the promoters at their solicitation renewed their appeal last evening to them and to the public. The CHAIRMAN, on rising to respond, was received with loud and repeated cheers. He said—My friends, as a member of your guardian committee, it is with feelings of unspeakable pleasure I meet you here this evening to witness such an assembly as that which I see before me, and to unite with you in exchanging mutual congratulations on the success which has attended your efforts in forming such an association as that of the Protective Burial Society—(hear, hear) — when I find, as I do, that the friends who have contri buted over so short a period, comparatively, as that of three years—that you have been enabled to soothe the sorrows, and to allay the troubles, of no less than 800 families during that time, it is, indeed, a subject of con gratulation to find that there is, notwithstanding the expense that was so incurred to the relief of those whose troubles and sorrows, without that assistance, might have been materially increased—l say, still to find that you are in possession of so large a sum of money to the credit at your bankers as £1,600, after a period only of three years, redounds greatly indeed to the honour of those who have had the manage ment of your affairs, as well as to the spirit with which you have joined the society, numbering, as I am told it does now, so many as 22,000 members. (Cheers.) Whenever the history of the early period of this association shall be written, the names of Frederick Hull and Joseph Shepherd and Timpron Martin and Henry Smith will be read with feelings of admiration and of gratitude by all who take an interest in the well being of the working classes. (Cheers.) Those gentle men have faced difficulties, have !encountered conflicts, have suffered privation of mind that few indeed would venture to undertake, not for their own benefit, hut for the benefit of those who are, have been, or may be, members of such an association as that which we, as members, constitute. I find that during the first six months, that there was a surplus of nearly £260, during the second year £460, the third year £454, and the balance—that is the six months together with the first six months—making the difference up to £1,600 surplus, after defraying all expenses. (Cheers.) Now, there is something more, as it appears to me, than a mere burial society in connection with such an institution as this. It encourages, it cultivates, it promotes, in the highest degree, I think, feelings of self-reliance. (Hear, hear.) Self-reliance, when fully promoted, leads to self-respect, and self-respect commands respect from others; and who ever happens to be in that position will find himself on the high road to a higher position in society (hear, hear). Now, I look upon it that this society is placed upon a firm footing —it is firmly established, and so long as it is presided over by men of such honourable conduct and honest intentions as those who have the management of your funds at present, it cannot but be a success. (Hear, hear.) Well, now, if self reliance - is so valuable a thing—you having taken one step in that direction, I hope you will not stop short there, but that you will take a second, and, it may be, a third. Allow me to suggest to our friend Mr. Shepherd, and those who have worked so nobly with s him to bring this institution to its present position, that I think an admirable adjunct might be found in the establishment of a Penny Bank. (Hear, hear.) You have already in this association estab lished a fund that will provide for decent interment in ca se of death. I ask you, then, to make provision against a time of need, whether that time of need arises from a want of employment, or from a want of ability through sickness to be enabled to discharge your daily labours. (Hear, hear.) Make the provision yourself, and depend upon it that whenever you have occasion to have recourse to that fund, the money will be in finitely sweeter than if it be obtained from any charitable source whatever. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) That is the second development that I would suggest to you, carrying out the spirit of self-reliance. Then there is a third, which probably cannot be so easily attained as the second, because the same machinery in every respect may be made available for the second as for the first, the place of residence not interfering in any way with the full development of either one or the other. Places of residence, however, will interfere, and that materially, with what I am about to present to you as the third means of self-reliance—l mean a school, a weekly school established for the education of the children, where a decent and respectable education may be obtained for a penny a week. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I should like to see such a school established in every ward of the town of Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) I should rejoice to find that one school was found to be insufficient ; but that the encouragement that the one school would receive would be the means of causing the establishing a second ; yea, and a third, whenever it may be found necessary. (Cheers.) Education, depend upon it, is more than even necessary. It is to be found, in my opinion, as the chief corner stone upon which an edifice will have to be erected, that self-reliance will be able to construct. The day is fast passing away when any labour, comparatively, but that of skilled labour, will be materially in demand. Happily machinery of all sorts is being rapidly introduced, improvement after improvement, to supply the place of unskilled labour. The demand, therefore, in my opinion, for unskilled labour will diminish in proportion as science and mechanism shall be found to develop itself. Then the skilled labourer must of necessity be a man of some education. (Hear, hear.) It is, indeed, indispensably necessary for a skilled labourer to be able to read, to write, and . to•be able to cypher. Let the schools, then, to which I refer pay special attention to reading and to writing.and who u A n d n ie y nr s o t ma n n e yd w as p h t ih o nei o e a no r n , d irneaad character well and rube esi nogf arithmetic, t V a r k ieenwi into will always, account—unsullied character—will always be able to obtain an amount of employment that will be sufficient for him to subsist upon. (Cheers.) Then let me say, so far as the arithmetic is concerned, let that embrace addition, enumeration of course, subtraction, multiplica tion, fractions, practice, the rule of three, and decimals. Now I desire to go no further than that—particularly decimals—(hear, hear)—for if we can once have the masses convinced of the immense saving of time that would be obtained by the application of the decimal system, I am perfectly sure the Government, who aro convinced of its utility, would be obliged to adopt that system in the next session of Parliament, after the masses of the people shall be convinced that it is the preferable system. (Hear, hear, and applause.) I have one subject more to which I would desire to call your attention, and to unite my feeling of gratitude with yours, and that is to find that there is a benevo lent fund in connection with your society. (Applause.) There are many, no doubt very many, who are members of your association, who continue to pay their weekly pence in the full expectation and hope that when it shall please Providence to take them away from their families, they shall, at least, have left a provision to place them decently below the sod, so that they shall not be a burthen upon their friends, and that the feel ings of those who survive them shall be wounded as little as possible. But circumstances, over which they have no control, may prevent them contributing for a short period the pence which will keep them in benefit. It perhaps pleases Providence to remove them whilst out of benefit, and your rules, which I conceive to be highly proper, specify that if a member dies out of benefit, the survivors of his family shall receive no consideration for the money that has been paid by the deceased. Strictly acting up to your rules, that is so ; but those who have charge of the association have. taken a paternal view of your position, and they have very wisely established a fund, from which assistance can be obtained when the officers of the association, after due inquiry, shall have found that the parties so circumstanced, not from any neglect or inattention on the part of the deceased, or from any carelessness, but from absolute want of the means to sustain their contributions. (Applause.) Therefore it is that this fund is provided, so that the survivor shall not wholly suffer loss, but that some small contribution suitable to the necessities of the mozneqt shall be made available, ig order to alleviate the suffering that would - otherwise be increased. I - think, therefore, from every point of view that we can take of our present association, we have great reason, indeed, for our congratulation. If we go on for the future for many years as we have done for the past, the amounts to be paid out at the time of death, most unquestionably, will have to be increased. (Hear, hear.) It is our duty to commence with the minimum scale, and to increase that scale in proportion to the increase of the reserved fund. Establish a fund first, in order to secure you against the contingencies of the future. Having established that fund, it is growing, increasing in amount, and prudence will show you that it is your duty to increase, to each individual in propor tion, that scale which has been laid down for the guidance of your officers as the contributions shall have been made to the funds. (Loud cheers.) The splendid band of the 4th. Lancashire Volunteer Artillery played an overture in admirable style, and then the following programme was followed:—Glee, "From Oberon in Fairy Land," Messrs. Sweetman, Nicholson, Wilkinson, Mrs. Sweetman, and Miss Sweetman ; Song, " Maleteer," Mr. Nicholson ; Song, "The Bucket," Mr. Adam Gibson; Duett, " A.8.C.," Mr. Nicholson and Miss Sweetman ; Song, " Coming through the Rye," Mrs. Leeny; Song, Dan Lowry. Captain GEORGE MELLY, who was received with loud applause, next addressed the meeting, and seconded the remarks of the chairman in reference to education. The second part of the programme, which was as follows, was then proceeded with :—Overture, Band ; Glee, "All among the Barley,". Messrs. Sweetman, Nicholson, Wilkinson, and Miss M. J. Sweetman ; Song, "The Drunkard's Ragged Ween," Mr. Adam Gibson; Song, "Heed not their idle Tales," Miss M. J. Sweet man ; Song; Glee, " Spring delights," Messrs. Sweet man, Nicholson, Wilkinson, and Miss M. J. Sweetman. Mr.• Shepherd, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Martin having briefly addressed the meeting, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Dancing was kept up until a late hour in the large room below the hall, and altogether it may be said that a pleasant evening was spent in furthering a most laudable object. IHE DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1860. tATER COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of the Water Committee was held yesterday afternoon at the Town-hall, Mr. Hodson presiding. The other members present were —Messrs. Vernon, erellin, Estill, Beloe, Jeffery, Fern worth, Rae, Turner, Wagstaff, Woodruff, and Bennett. Mr. DUNCAN, the water engineer, reported that the quantity of water received from Rivington during the week ending Saturday last was 68,170,716 gallons, and that the quantity of water pumped from the wells was 23,825,629 - gallons, making a total supply of 91;996,245 gallons. There had been a rise during the week in the following reservoirs :—Roddlesworth, 3 inches; Rake, 3 inches; Anglezark, 21 inches; Rivington, 1 foot 5 inches. The Prescot No. 1 reservoir was steady, and the No. 2 reservoir had fallen 61 inches. On the pipe line one leaking joint had been discovered near Platt Bridge. This was under repair. The movement of the ground is this locality is becoming gradually less, and the engineer trusted it would soon be at rest. In answer to Mr. Farnworth, Mr. Duman stated that there were six filter beds. Mr. FARNWORTH.—Then supposing you require half as much more water than at present, will they pass more water . than they now do ? Mr. DuNcA.N.—Yes. Mr. FARNIVORTH.—Then you could give an increased quantity ? Mr. DUNCAN.—Yes. Mr. FARNwourn.—lt was so intended ? Mr. DuNc.ax.—Yes. Mr. WAGSTAFF.—If you force the water through it will not be properly filtered ? Mr. DUNCAN.—Thd slower the better. Alderman BENNETT.-But did not Mr. Hawksley say that three filter beds would filter sixteen million gallons a-day. Mr. DUNCAN thought it would be better to filter more slowly than that. Mr. JEFFERY then brought forward his motion, of' which he had given notice. He said he did so with a view to their financial position. There was no doubt, he thought, that the water now coming from Rivington was better than it was some time ago. Seeing, then, that their financial difficulty was so great, as prudent men it was their duty to consider what they could do in order to relieve themselves. It appeared that the condition of the cottage holders, as laid before them, would reduce the present revenue received from them by something like £2,500 or £3,000 a year. It was true they would have a slight increase by an average rate of charge of 6 per cent. from- the higher priced property. But ho did not think that would amount to anyt'aing like what was anticipated. The consequence was that they were bound to turn their attention to see how they could economise their expenditure. He found that during the last week they received 68 millions gallons from Rivington, and the engineer told them they might calculate on -a con tinuance of that. Prom Bootle they had received 3 millions. Now, the cost of pumping Bootle was about £650. Then they had the cost of all the other stations, amounting to nearly £5,000. If they could save that £5,000, he took it that it was imperative upon them to do so. From cottages of £l3 and under the revenue was about £19,000 a year. Now, when they took off the various amounts for rates and for gas—which in all equity .and in law they should be 'obliged to take off before they could impose their charge—they should reduce their revenue by about 121 per cent. That would amount to at least £2,500, or near £3,000 a year, plus the present deficiency. Seeing that a con siderable portion of the town was already supplied from Rivington, he thought they might venture, at this sea son of the year, to give a trial to the proposition he had submitted to the committee ; and he hoped the com mittee would give it that consideration which their financial position demanded. Now, he understood the agitation of their financial difficulty" had occupied the attention of those who held their bonds. It was only right and proper to say they would in no way be affected by the financial position of the committee, because the bondholders had the security of the ratepayers. He concluded by moving that the supply, for the future, should be confined to Rivington and to Bootle. Alderman BENNETT seconded the motion. It would only be an experiment, and they could resort again to the wells if Rivington fell short. Mr. VERNON said no doubt the time would come when Mr. Jeffery's motion would have to be carried, but he thought this an inopportune period for such a proposal. The spring was approaching, there was every probability of a dry summer, and the wells therefore ought to be continued in work, for it was a fact that a quarter of a million of gallons of water were daily escaping from the millstone leak. Another reason why the pumping stations should rot be closed was that by ceasing to use the engines and boilers for any length of time, there would be a serious depreciation in the engines. In answer to Mr. Crellin, Mr. DUNCAN stated that if they stopped pumping the wells, they could not on returning to them retrieve their lost ground. Mr. FARNWORTH Was sorry he could not support Mr. Jeffery's resolution. Mr. Emu, supported the motion, and suggested that at least the pumping might be stayed for two months. Mr. JEFFERY said the Green-lane and Windsor pumping stations cost £2,830. together, per annum. To stop them, therefore, would be a great saving. Alderman BENNETT supported the motion. Se far as the boilers were concerned, no harm would accrue to them by standing a few months, and that fact was proved by large manufacturers having two sets of boilers to their engines. As to the engines, they would take no harm if properly prepared for being thrown out of use. He considered that this was the only time when the committee could prudently adopt this motion, and pointed out that the season had been alleged on other occasions as a reason for not supplying the town solely with Pike water. They had indeed been bandied about on this point merely to hide the capacity of the Riving ton works, which would never yield more than they did at present. The ENGINEER said the yield would very much depend on the rainfall. Alderman BENNETT said the watershed per se would never be more productive than at present. Mr. BELOE said Mr. Jeffery had fallen into con siderable error, for,the amount he proposed to save was entirely insignificant compared with the total amount of the deficiency. He held that it would not be wise to risk this experiment; for the only thing that made the Rivington water palatable at all was the mixture of the well water. Alderman WOODRUFF would be very glad, if he could see his way to do so, to vote for saving £5,000 a-year ; but, that talked-of saving had dwindled down to £3,000, and against such a trifling sum he would put the many contingencies that might arise, and the terrible results that would flow from a curtailed supply of water in the heat of summer. Mr. JEFFERY, in replying, said, he would first refer to quantity. The Health of Towns Act said that twenty 'gallons per head was the extreme of sufficiency for all purposes whatever, and that being so, the present mode of distributing the water now received must be highly discreditable to the town, for this week the supply was ninety-one millions of gallons, whilst, it the maximum necessary amount for all purposes whatsoever, under the Health of Towns Act, were given, only fifty-six millions of gallons would be required. Me held that the argu ments that had been used that day against the motion were the most conclusive condemnation of the whole Rivington 'scheme that could possibly have been ad vanced. The motion was then put and lost, the only members who voted for it being Messrs. Jeffery and Bennett. Mr. Estill then moved, and Mr. Jeffery seconded, that the Green-lane and Windsor engines be stopped for two months; but this motion was lost, only the mover and seconder and Alderman Bennett Toting for it. The oemmittee then adjourned. COURT OF PASSAGE. (Before EDWARD JANIES, Esq., .Assessor.) BATES v. RElS.—This was an action brought to recover compensation for the nonpayment of a bill of the Plaintiff's for £l5O, which the defendant had advised. Mr. Aspinall appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Brett for the defendant. From the statement of counsel it appeared that on the 27th of December last the plaintiff having a bill for .£l5O which would be due on the fol lowing day, called upon the defendant, who is a banker in Lord-street, for the purpose of getting it advised. At the interview which then took place the plaintiff got an advice note, the defendant telling him that it would be all right, and the bill would be accepted. On the 30th of December the bill came back dishonoured from the London and Westminster Bank. The plaintiff, in com pany with the holder of the bill, then called upon the defendant, who told them that there must have been some mistake in London, as he had compared the advice note with the bill and found it quite correct. The defendant also said he would write to London and pay the bill himself on the following Monday. The plaintiff pressed for payment immediately, but the defendant persisted in postponing the matter until Monday, giving as his reason that a bill in the same name and for the same amount might have been paid a few days previous to the presentation of the plaintiff's bill. On the Mon day the money was paid to the holder of the bill, Mr. Williams, as promised to the defendant. In consequence of this refusal on the part of the defendant, the plaintiff had brought the present action to recover damages for the injury which his character as a business man had sustained. The defendant stated that at the interview of the 27th he had told the plaintiff that he could not guarantee the acceptance of the bill, as it was payable at the London and Westminster bank ; but he had no doubt it would be all right. The defence fur- ther stated that the present action had been brought oat Of the spite, as the defendant had refused to discount a bill of the plaintiff's on the 29th. The jury found for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. CHUBB AND ANOTHER V. HOLLAND.—This was a claim for £33 17s. for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Brett, who appeared for the plaintiffs, stated that they were the celebrated manufacturers of fireproof iron chests, and the defendant was Mr. George C. Holland, a gentleman who appeared to get his living by obtaining goods on credit, and then pawning them two or three days after. The defendant took an office`in Hanover street, and, on representing that he was established in business as an agent for some concern, obtained from the plaintiffs a fireproof iron chest and other articles, which were pawned shortly aftei delivery. The case being clearly proved, the jury at once found a verdict for the plaintiff to the amount of £3l. - HALL v. ENVING.—The plaintiff in this case is a fur niture dealer in London-road ; and the action was brought to recover from the defendant payment for a quantity of furniture worth about £62 3s. 9d., which was supplied to her. The defence in this case was, that the goods were not supplied to the defendant but to her son, who should, therefore, be made the responsible party. The jury found for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. PILLING V. BENrcarr.—ln this case the plaintiff was the owner of some cottages in Clarence-grove, Everton, and the action was brought to recover damage for injuries which his property had sustained in conse quence of some blasting operations which the defendant was conducting at the back of the cottages. Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.. Aspinall conducted the case on behalf of the defendant. In the beginning of Jane last the defendant purchased a quarry at the back of the plaintiff's cottages, and commenced blasting operations upon it. The stones from the quarry were repeatedly thrown on the roofs of the cottages, and towards the end of June the plaintiff's tenants complained to him of the injury caused by the stones. In consequence of these complaints the plaintiff went to the defendant, and the latter said he was sorry for what had happened, and would see that it did not occur again. Early in July the plaintiff received more complaints from his tenants, and upon inspecting the houses found that in many places there were large holes in the roof. At one of the houses he was shown a crow-bar which had been thrown into the yard from the quarry. The plaintiff then wrote a letter to the defendant, stating that, as the injuries had been caused by the defendant, he ought to pay for repairing the houses. In reply to this letter the defendant said that he had now sold the quarry, and had nothing to do with it : but he had restricted the purchaser so that he could not blast to the injury of the plaintiff's property. The plaintiff had repaired the houses himself, and had brought the present action to recover the expense which had been incurred in so doing. Oa behalf of the defendant, it was stated that he had repaired the damage done by the first explosions, and also the flag in the yard which the crow-bar had broken. This was not denied by the plaintiff ; but he said that the latter explosions had injured the cottages to the amount of £l7, none of which had been paid for by the defendant. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £6. BARK V. RESNINGTON.-This was an interplesder issue to try whether certain property seized under an order of the Court of Passage belonged to the plaintiffs as trustees. 311.. Aspinall appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Brett for the defendant. The plaintiffs were Mr. Henry Bark and Mr. Sylvester Matheson, jun., and the defendant was an attorney practising in this town. It appeared that Mr. Matheson, being a man of very extravagant habits, disagreed with his wife, and they ultimately separated, the husband going to America. The friends of Mrs. Matheson purchased some property for her, which they arranged in such a manner that none of the husband's creditors could claim it for debts. Now, however, the defendant claimed it, and the present action was consequently brought. In the course of the case 3,fr. Brett withdrew his claim, and the jury found for the plaintiff. CLAIM FOR COMMISSION.—HAYWARD v. PRICE.— The plaintiff in this case was a commission agent in this town, and he sought to recover as commission the sum of £B3. The defendant had a mill which he wished to sell, and accordingly made out an advertisement, but, the plaintiff introducing him to a customer, he did not insert the advertisement. The evidence clearly showed that there was no actual or implied contract between the parties, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. The court adjourned shortly before six o'clock. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT._ YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) PICKING POCKETS.—WiIIiam 'Wright was charged with picking the pocket of James Bennett, 23, Chris tian-street, of a silver watch. The prosecutor was listening to a sermon in Islington market place, on Sunday evening. He felt a man's hand in his pocket and turned round and immediately collared the prisoner, at 'whose feet the watch fell. Mr. Bluek appeared for the prisoner, who was committed for trial. A CHARGE or STEALING A COAT.—Edward Ellis, an elderly man, residing at 4, Cavendish-street, was brought up on a charge of stealing a coat, the property of Mr. George Horner, commercial traveller, who stayed at the . Stork Hot e l. On Wednesday. week the prisoner was engaged to . carry the prosecutor's parcels ; at dinner time he was given a shilling to get dinner, being desired to meet his employer at a Mr. Rigby's at two o'clock. Ho kept his engagement, and he was sent to the Stork Hotel for Mr. .rforner's overcoat. He went to the hotel, obtained the coat, and was not seen . again until apprehended on Saturday. The coat was offered at a pawnbroker's in Whitechapel, but has not as yet been found. Remanded. A CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—George Cribb, tra velling assistant in the employ of Messrs. Gabriel, den tists, was charged with embezzling £6 of his master's money. Mr. Samuel appeared for the prosecuti on , an d applied for an adjournment. Three weeks ago, it appears, the prisoner. was entrusted to deliver a piece of work to a person named Reed, residing at Bolton, and it was his duty to hand the money over to his employer on bis return; but instead of doing so he related a number of contradictory stories to the effect that the wor k was not delivered to the 'party, hut left at the Bolton branch establishment of the Messrs. Gabriel, who wrote to Mr. Reed on the subject, and found that the £6 had been paid over t o th e p r i soner , aga i ns t whom there was a number of other charges. In his defence the prisoner stated that the work was made of t i e old silver, and was not worth 18s. The case was re minded. GAROTTE P.ORBERY.—A matt, who gave his name as Wiliam Armstrong, was brought up on suspicion of beit concerned in a garotte robbery on a seaman named Wilsam Burney, in Gloucester -street, on the 2nd of ()etcher last, for which offence another man called Clarke was sentenced to ten years penal servitude at the last assizes, but the prisoner then managed to estate, the vigilance of th e po li ce. F rom a want of e vidinee he was now discharged. (Before Messrs. PEEL and BOOTH.) S;AMAN'S WAGES CASE. —Mr. M`Pherson, captain of the Relief; was summoned at the instance of 'William Sykes, chief mate, for £l9 1 ls. 4d. Mr. Black appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Cobb for the defendant. On arriving . in Liverpool the captain wanted 'to make the mate responsible for yellow metal valued at 1.',•14 7 s . •id , lost while discharging the cargo at Bombay; andsought to deduct the amount from his - wages.—The ma Ostrate found that the metal was lost through no ncgigenee of the mat e , an d th ere f ore cons id ere d t h at he ras entitled to the full amount. INACCOUNTARLE DEATHS.—The Joru•nel de Mont brisil tells a strange story :—" Three peasants of Saint Jea-Solymieux (Loire) went a few days ago to a fair at mint Genest-Lerpt, and when they had transacted thei business they entered a public-house to drink. In retcning home they lost their wey, and one, named Modon, became separated from the other. two.' Those. two sought for him, but in vain ; • the Search .having bee: resumed the.. next morning, the dead body of the man was found at the bottom of a ravine ; but then was nothing to show whether he had died of con estion of the brain, caused by a fall, or had bee. killed.. The body was .conveyk to the nearest villge, that-of Saint Marcellin, and placed in an aban dond building, which formerly served as the mairie,, to ucait the examination of the magistrates. At night, onePerret was eharged to keep watch at the -place ; but, at lidnight a person going home found near the building thedeid body of a man, and it turned out to be that of Peret! There was a .deep wound in the head, but thu far no one can say how it was occasioned. Some perens conjecture that, hating gone up stairs, the man accdentally fell .headforemost out of the window ; others —e -being of indifferent character—that he had attmpted to rob some person who happened to pass, and ha been felled to the ground by a blow from a heavy std," UNIVERSITY LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.
