LATEST NEWS. FURTHER DETAILS OF THE BATTLE OF THE VOLTURNO. IMMENSE LOSS ON BOTH SIDES. THE ROYALIST PRISONERS. ARRIVAL OF 1,500 ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS AT NAPLES. A letter from Naples, dated the 6th inst., just • received, gives some further details relative to Volturno. The writer states that no less than 12,000 of the Neapolitans were put hors de combat, and that the losses of Garibaldi exceed 4,000, besides wounded and missing. There is not suffi cient room for the Royalist prisoners in the diffe rent ports at Naples. Those of them who are willing, are incorporated in Piedmontese regi ments ; and those who refuse to serve are sent to Sardinia, to work on the roads, or on the works in the harbour. The health of General Turr has become so much worse, that he has been obliged to retire from active service. A great reactionary movement, instituted by the priests in different parts of the kingdom, was to have come off on the 4th (St. Francis' Day) ; but it has been sup pressed, though not without considerable blood shed. The immediate arrival of 8,000 Piedmontese troops is announced ; and 1,500 English volun teers arrived at Naples on Friday last, and were immediately forwarded to the Garibaldian camp, in front of Capua. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) VOLTURNO AND CAPUA. PARIS, OCt. 11. The Patrie states that the loss of the Garibal dians in the battle of the Volturno was 4,500 men ' • that of the Royal troops was not so great. The Garibaldians will not attack Capua before the 20th instant. ARREST OF ROMAN CARDINALS. The Roman Journal says the Cardinal Bishop of Ancona had been arrested by the Piedmontese. The Cardinal Bishop of Jesi has also been arrested. Cardinal Archbishop of Fermo was arrested in his palace on Sept. 28, by Piedmontese officers. The Cardinal Archbishop of Benevento bad been obliged to leave his diocese at hall' an hour's notice. THE POPE'S EXCHEQUER. The Roman Journal announces that the sum contributed by the faithful to the Holy See is 1,600,000 crowns, and that it has all been ex pended. THE REPORTED DEATH OF COUNT ORIBABANE, AT THE VOLTURNO. This young nobleman, heir to one of the first families in the , Milanese, was the correspondent of the Daily News, and was with the army in that capacity at the battle on the Volturno, when, at one of the most critical and hopeless moments of the day, Garibaldi asked for 100 resolute men. bribabane drew his sword and rode forward with the General and his companions. He was not seen afterwards. It is hoped he may have been taken prisoner. ANNEXATION OF THE TWO SICILIES. TURIN, Oct. 10. It is stated that Garibaldi is about to convoke the Electoral Colleges of the Two Sicilies for the 21st October, to vote by universal suffrage. THE DEBATE IN THE SARDINIAN CHAMBER. TURIN, OCt. 11. In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies several members spoke for and against the project of annexation. Count Cavour replied that he would to-day give explanatory replies to all interpellation. It is believed that the vote will take place to-day. NAPLES. The Nationalities states that the company who had received the concession for the Neapolitan Railway has now obtained the cancelling of the grant. The new pro-Dictator of Naples, as soon as he was appointed, addressed a letter to Mazzini com plimenting him on on his patriotism, but asking him to give a proof of it by leaving the country, telling him that even without intending it he caused division, and that many used his name with the parricidal intention of hoisting another banner in Italy. The Paris correspondent of the Herald alludes to the probability of a congress on the affairs of Italy. The Patrie says that Garibaldi has sent to thank the seamen of the English line-of-battle ship Renown who served the Garibaldian guns on the Ist. The men were ashore that day on leave of absence. The Piedmontese troops are expected before Capua by the 15th instant. The Neapolitans, it is anticipated, will evacuate Capua before their arrival, and retire to Gaeta. The Debats says that many of the wounded on the field at Volturno died for want of ambulances. PRUSSIA AND SARDINIA. The Presse says that the news of the Dresden journal, that the Prussian Ambassador had been re -called from Turin, is inexact. The Pays, on the contrary, confirm s the news. BERLIN, Oct. 11. The news of a Prussian protest, identical with one of Austria, against the Sardiniau policy, and of the meal of the Prussian Ambassador from Turin, is unfounded. It has become doubtful Whether Baron Sehleinitz will be present at Warsaw. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, Oct. 11, 3 p.m. The Bourse has exhibited a decided improve ment, and business was active at the close. The last price of Rentes was 68f 90c, or 40c higher than Yesterday. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 6. The Grand Vizier arrived yesterday at Salonica. The Russian Minister has presented a note, com plaining of the Grand Vizier's return before having completed his mission. The news has been received here of a great Persian victory over the Turcomans, near Meuir. ROME. PERUGIA, OCt. 10. Advices from Rome confirm that the French are about to re-occupy Viterbo. Pontifical gen darmes are to precede the French by twelve hours. The inhabitants are prepared to repulse the Pontifical soldiers, but to yield to the French. The Marquis de Pepoli has proceeded to Viterbo to re-assure the inhabitants. King Victor Emma nuel is at Macerata. Funeral services have been performed in all th e churches of Rohn for General de Pimodan. General de Goyon was present at the French church of St. Louis. SPAIN. MADRID, Oct. 10. The official Correspondencia Autografa says, the statement of the English journals that Spain had proposod the assembling of a congress of the Catholic powers at Gaeta is quite correct. The Progressista party is preparing for a struggle at the coming elections. THE PRINCE OF WALES. A portion of the Channel fleet will, it is expected, be despatched to meet the Prince of Wales. His Royal Highness will Rot visit the Island of Ber muda, but will sail for England direct from New York. THE BOMBAY MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, OCt. 11. The Delta, with the heavy portion of the above mail, has arrived. The steamer Indus left Gib raltar for the East on the 2nd instant. Gibraltar Exchange on London was quoted 5 01 to 504; Paris, of. 30c. ; Genoa, sc. 31c. Freights unaltered. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, OCt. 11. The screw-steamer Kangaroo arrived off the harbour yesterday morning from New York on th e 29th ult. She brings 281 passengers and. $117,000 in specie. The Vanderbilt and Edin burgh had arrived out. It is now ascertained beyond peradventure that General Walker was executed on the 25th ult. The British war-steamer Gladiator brought the news to New Orleans, together with the remnant of Walker's army. Ten shots, it is stated, were . fired at him amid the cheers of the natives, and 1 1 e was afterwards burned by fore i g ners. Colonel Radler has escaped with a sentence of four years' Plprisonment. General Harvey is still at Wash ulgton. Separate and distinct charges and speci fications of the most serious nature have been Proved against him, the burden of which is con duct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and tyrannical abuse of authority. The New York papers contain lengthy reports of speeches made by the canvassers for the presi dency. prominent among this intelligence is a great variety of utterances on the subject of dis- Union, and the pro bable consequences which would follo w a disruption of the confederacy. The New York Tribune states the number of byers captured by the United States cruisers to over fifty-two yearly. Advises from Savanna were to the 23rd ult. "gar dull. Freights slow. COMMERCIAL. NEW Yoitx, Sept. 28.—The stock market was g2nerally heavy and irregular , with the exception °I Cent ra l, w hi c h c l ose d at 91 to 914. Foreign exchan ge li m i te d. S ter li ng , 109 to 109 a. Cotton arket steady; sales, 2,800 bales. Middling Pika c l o 10 1 ; GIAlf, . 10' a Flour and Meal: The demand for State and Western flour has been less active to-day, and quotations have been somewhat unsettled. The inquiry from shippers has been restricted, and that from the home trade has been very moderate. The increased receipts led buyers to anticipate a decline in prices. The principal holders, though anxious to sell, are not inclined to make any important concessions to purchasers. The reported transactions since our last add up 16,200 barrels grain. The receipts of wheat since oar last have been unusually.heavy, amounting to 337,000 bushels, and the market has given way in most instances from 2c. to 4c. per bushel. At the close considerable irregularity was apparent in the trade. The sales add up 295,000 bushels. Corn and oats in fair demand, and unchanged. Barley irregular, and in good request. Provisions steady. Sugar and coffee steady, and in fair demand. Freights are easier, notwithstanding liberal offers. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 28.—Cotton quiet; sales to-day 34,000 bales, at 101. to 104. SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 11. The U.S. steamer Bremen, Captain Wessels, with the mails for France and England, and dates from New York to the 29th ult., arrived here at 6.45 this evening. She brings 113 pas sengers, of whom 25 are for England and 88 for Bremen. She brings on freight treasure value $573,388, of which $158,000 are for England, $412,388 for France, and $3,000 for Bremen. The Edinburgh had arrived out. Garibaldi was wounded in the battle of the st instant. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was to arrive in town last night. The Emigration Commissioners have taken up the Hotspur from Plymouth for Sydney, at £l5 12s. 7d., and the Zelia for Natal, at £l4 19s. 6d. per statute adult. The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : THE PROTEST OF THE KING OF NAPLES. The Times, referring to this document, says— "No doubt Francis 11. can quote texts of inter national law in his favour, but there are extremities beyond all law, and there are laws which existed before even society was formed. There are laws which are implanted in our nature, and which form part of the human mind. Terrible provoca tions call them forth. It is these which have wrought the events, against which the Xing of Naples is now protesting. This protest is the cry of a wounded hawk or a trapped wolf." NEW SCHEME OF FRENCH ANNEXATION. The Paris correspondent of the Times says, private and trustworthy accounts from the Island of Sardinia, speak of the commencement of manoeuvres by a secret agency there, for pro moting a movement in favour of annexation to France, in the same manner and by the same means as were employed by French emissaries in Savoy and Nice. ! NEAPOLITAN TARIFF. The Daily Netts awards credit to the Bourbon Government of Naples, on account of the very extensive reforms made just before its fall in the old Neapolitan tariff, and says it would be difficult to over-estimate their commercial value. The new Customs' duties occupy several columns. ANGLO-CHINESE COMMERCE. Captain Sherard Osborn, R.N., has addressed a letter to the 'limes, urging views already adopted bs tht merchants of Leeds. He says we have no need to fetch silks from Shanghai, or teas from Canton. We never need enter the China Sea at all. The plan advocated is to bring your Chinese trade from the western provinces of that Empire across Burmah down to the port of Rangoon, and then make your start from the Bay of Bengal, leaving the China Sea and all its dangers far behind. The sugar house of Messrs. Goodhart, Limehouse, was totally destroyed by fire last night. The Daily News says that bill forgeries, to the extent of £l,OOO, have just been discovered. The name forged is that of Mr. Clement Dresser, a respectable wool merchant, of BAsinghall-street. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Mr. Neafie, the American tragedian, continues his successful career at the above house. He appeared last night in a new piece, entitled " Metamora, the Last of the Wampanoags." In this piece he performed the part of ifetainora, an Indian chieftain. The character is particularly suited for the display of Mr. Neafie's capabilities, and at the conclusion of the piece he was called before the curtain. Mr. Cowper, Miss Laura Gray, and Miss Goodall, sustained their characters in their usual happy manner, and contributed greatly to the success of the piece. This evening the performances are for the benefit of Mr. Neatie, when he will appear in the beautiful play of The Stranger. Despite the great attraction at the other theatre to-night, we anti cipate that Mr. Neafie's efforts will be rewarded with a good house. WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of this board was held yes terday, at the Board-room, Brownlow-hill. Mr. Church warden Cropper presided ; the other committee-men pre sent were Messrs. Smith, Byford, Owens, Peck, Dalton, Goodacre, Satohell, E. Byford, Turner, Whitty, and Lightbound. The usual routine business having been disposed of, the following reports were read: — The Governor reported that three bags of rice and two tons of rice had been rejected by the Sample Com mittee ; also six kegs of mustard, from Mr. Henry Tate, as not equal to sample. The whole of the supply of wheat, delivered by Mr. John Phillips, was rejected on the ground that it was " nnsweet." The contractors appealed against the decision of the committee. —The following is the return of vagrants relieved during the week : 208 men, 112 women, 28 children; total, 348; showing an increase of 42 during the week, and 85 as compared with tbe corresponding week of last year. The Medical Officer reported that the total number of individuals under treatment was, last week, 345 ; new cases since, 155 ; cured and discharged, 130 ; died, 10; now under treatment, 558. The Governor reported that the numbers accommo dated in the Workhouse was, last week, 1,975 ; this week, 1,979 ; increase, 4 ; for the corresponding week of last year, 1766; showing an increase of 213. Mr. WHITTY thought it was very strange that pau perism should be on the decrease in Manchester, and on the increase here. Mr. SATCHELL supposed that the increase here was chiefly Irish. The CHAIRMAN—The fact is, that they like to come here for the winter. He knew a ca se where a girl had come from Manchester, and was most anxious to get into the house for the winter. Mr. SMITH—And there is another reason why pau perism is on the decrease in Manchester, —there are a great many factories there, and they emp lo y a great number of hands. THE MUSTARD QUESTION. The Clerk stated that in conseq uen ce of the instruc tions he had received at the last meeting of the com mittee he wrote to the Messrs. Colman's, who had supplied Mr. Pearson, the contractor, with the m ustard that had been rejected. The first answer he received was that Mr. Colman was not in town, but that he should have full particulars by the next post. He had asked to be informed whether the keg he had sent from the workhouse stores was in the same state as when it left his warehouse; and also whether it was according to the sample sent in, and if it answered the descrip tion. In the reply it was s t a t e d that the keg sent appeared to be in exactly the same state as when it left their warehouse. The letter went on to say that they prepared three sorts of mustard—the best brown mus tard, the pure brown mustard, and the genuine brown mustard, and that the keg sent back was the same as the sample except as to colour, which might be caused by the keg having been placed in a damp place, or other causes. They also endorsed Mr. Pearson's invoice ordering the, " best brown mustard," and forwa:ded three kegs as a sample of the different sorts prepared by them. Mr. GOODACRE said that neither Mr. Pearson nor himself.were aware that the Messrs. Colman prepared two or three sorts of mustard, of nearly the same description and material. He should be most happy if Mr. Pearson did exonerate" himself from any blame in the transaction. But he wished it to be understood that there was a great deal of misapprehension out of doors in regard to mustard. It was thought that it was used for the table, but such was not the fact, as it was principally used in the surgery for mustard plasters, therefore it was absolutely necessary that they should have the genuine article. The contractor, Mr. Pearson, was then called into the Board-room, and he said the words " strength and colour" in the order were written by him. He said he w as surprised at what had taken place; and ho hoped, after what had been done and said, that the Board, and especially his friend Mr. Goodacre, would exonerate him from having been guilty of a " contemptible trick," in reference to the mustard. He hoped it would go forth to the public that Henry Pearson was not the man who would ever be guilty of such a trick. He hoped the. Board would see that there had been no fault on his part ; but whether Messrs. Colman were guilty or not, he did not know. in the transaction,.. but he felt Mr. GOODACRE said he perfectly exonerated Mr. Pearson from any blame that he was perfectly justified in taking the steps he had in the matter. Mr. PEARSON said he paid them ls. 6d. per lb. for the mustard, and the saaiple he sent in to the " wor H kh e was ouse was from them, and of their 4 , pure . brown sure he had acted right in the matter. Mr. SATCHELL—Whatever the Messrs. Colman may call their mustard, Mr. Pearson must stand exonerated from all blame. Mr. TURNER was oiad to hear such an expression of feeling. After some further conversation, in the course of which Mr. Whitty said that when the committee were dealing with the characters of tradesmen, they s hould be careful what observations they made, and hoped that this would be a warning for the future, Mr. SitarcnEL L proposed a resolution to the effect that the committee having heard Mr. PCaTEOII'S expla nation, and the, letters from Messrs. Colman, they exonerate him from all blame ; at the same time they thought Mr. Goodacre was perfectly justified in laying the matter before the committee. Mr. TURNER seconded th e resolution, w hi c h was unanimously adopted. It was then decided that the mustard supplied by Mr. Pearson should be rejected, as it was not genuine according to sample, as admitted 'by Messrs. Colman, and no doubt that they would place the matter right with Mr. Pearson, and that the three kegs forwarded by that firm should be kept. Some other business haying been disposed of, the committee adjourned. THE NEW 'REE LIIiRARY AND MUSEUM. We, are sure that at the present time we cannot perform a more acceptable task for our readers than to attempt a popular and familiar description of the noble building whose inauguration next week is to be the occasion of so much rejoicing and public display. This is a duty which we have for some time had in contem plation, but it never could be more opportune than at present. The new Free Library, apart from all consi deration of the princely munificence to which it owes its erection, and the enlightened purpose for which it has been generously designed, possesses high architectural claims to critical attention, ranking certainly amongst our public buildings as one of the leading ornaments of the town. Within a few years old ricketty Shaw's- brow has vanished as by the stroke of a talisman, and the neighbourhood is now classical in more respects than one. It affords a carious contrast and a pleasing proof of progress that during the erection of the library and the clearance of the adjoining land an old cock-pit should have been exhumed. The latter may be taken as beautifully typical of. the popular taste in the eighteenth century; the library, of the advancement in popular enlightenment which characterises the nineteenth. We may state that for some time past the most strenuous exertions have been made to have the building rendered as complete as possible for the formal opening on the 18th ; with this view the work, wherever it could, has been pushed on by night as well as day ; and the building is in such an extraordinary state of advancement, that yesterday the removal of the books from the library in Mice-street was commenced, and the contents of the Derby Museum are at the same time in course of transfer. The Liverpool Free Library and Museum may be described as an oblong building, in the Corinthian style of architecture, having in the centre a projecting portico, supported by ten columns, six in front, and four imme diately in advance of the grand doorway. It shows a frontage to Shaw's-brow. of 230 feet, and runs back from the portico to Clayton-street, a depth of 200 feet. The facade is of white stone, partly from Yorkshire, but principally from Cefn, whilst the beautiful columns were obtained from the celebrated quarry of Barley Dale. The sides and body of the building are of the yellow brick manufactured in the neighbourhood of Rugby. Several counties have thus been laid under contribution in the erection of the edifice. In attempting •a popular description of the building, we glance, of course; first at the front presented to Shaves-brow. Here we observe, as the principal feature, next to the portico, a double row of pilasters at each end of the building, two on each side, with a niche in the centre—an arrangement which tends much to enliven the general effect. There are five windows on each side of the portico on the ground floor, with wreaths in tablets above; and immediately under the roof runs a block cornice, with lions' heads at intervals,—the cornice being heavier at each end than above the portico, and resting upon the pilasters . already referred to, which are decorated with Corinthian capitals: The noble portico itself, which proj elite dLout allay feet, and extends, eichisiVe of its approaches, seventy-eight feet, is surmounted by a pediment, and flanked above with two towers which form a beautiful attic wall ; and it is approached by a flight of steps, which leads the visitor immediately into au extensive entrance hall, about thirty feet in length by twenty-three feet wide. A second and still shorter treble flight of steps, with columns on each side, conducts him into the large central hall, which forms one of the handsomest and most distinctive features of the edifice. Indeed it is only V:hcii. we get into the interior of the 'building that we can judge of its immense extent and capacity of accommodation. The size of the apartments on every floor set aside for museum purposes especially strikes the visitor. 'One of them alone would swallow up the Derby Museum; and what is more, there is capacity for the most indefinite enlargement. When the central hall has been reached, the visitor is apt to suppose that he is in the library probers brit this is a mistake. This majestic central hall is intended for l i the exhibition of statuary an d pa i nt i ngs ; and let; us hope—for its very presence is suggest i ve o f th e thought—that it may form the nucleus in Liverpool of a permanent gallery of art. The proprietors of the Royal Institution, whose treasures of historical art remain hidden from the masses, have here a glorious temple for their display; and the nucleus formed, we might feel confident that private benefaction or public spirit would soon still further etiriCh the Colleetion, till we should at length possess a perpetual Art Treasures Exhibition •Worthy of the town of Roscoe. With the facilities here placed at disposal, it. behoves us to con sider the advantages which we possess in such an effort over those which Manchester is at present so nobly striving to obtain. It must not be supposed, in reference to statuary at least, that abeginning cannot at once be made. With the exception of the statues of Mr. Wm. Brown, of the late Archdeacon Brookes, Mr. George Stephen son, and Sir Robert Peel, the whole of the figures which at present adorn the niches in St. George's Hall are the property of the Library and Museum Committee. The whole of these we may expect will be removed; indeed a place for Herculea has already been pointed out on the landing over the entrance hall. This grand'eentral hall, exclusive of a corridor which runs all round the upper and lower stories to a width of ten feet, is 70 feet long by 30 feet wide, and is open from the floor to the roof, which, with a glared covering, sheds a flood of light into the interior. The upper corridor, supported on semi-circular arches, with moulded pilas ters between, is adorned on each side by a row of twenty stone columns, and the intervals filled in with beautiful balustrading. There is a like corridor below. With this exception, the .hall is practically cat off from the reading-room and museums on each side ; and its floor is diamond-flagged, with white stone from the Craig leith quarries, near Edinburgh, inlaid with small black marble squares. When complete, this will have a beautiful effect. The upper corridor is diamond-flagged, but with white stone alone; and the staircases are of the same material. The ground storey will not be quite completed on the day of opening, so far as 'the plaster work is concerned, but the ceiling has been finished, and the columns have been cleaned down,—the whole work being now sufficiently advanced to enable us to judge of the beautiful tout enseinble which it will be sure to present. Standing in this hall, it may be well for clearness' sake to regard - all that part of the building lying on our right as the library apartments; all on our left. as the museum,—and although some of the former "may tem porarily be used for museum purposes, .we believe it is a condition in the deed of gift, that as the library extends it shall have a precedent right to accommodation. Upon the left side of the hall, and' still upon the ground storey, we have on the south front a museum room, 50 feet by 27 feet ; on the west, one 40 feet by -28 feet, another 70 feet by 26 feet ; and there is also one of equal dimensions on the north. The fitting up of these rooms, with cases and cabinets, is in active progress, and two of them, indeed, are-shelved, finished, and ready for the reception of specimens. We now turn to our right. An immense reading room, 110 feet in length by about 50 feet wide, and which, like the hall itself, is open to the roof, is situated on the east side, where space is likewise found for the reference library, students' reading.room, and class rooms, as also a spacious board-room for the meetings. of the trustees. The reading-room, as will be readily conceived, from the dimensions given, is a majestic apartment, and it is brilliantly illuminated in an even ing with three sun-burners of the most beautiful and elegant design. By day sufficient light is afforded by the domed roof. What we have called the reference library, and which is 73 feet in length by 23 feet wide, is the place where the books are to he deposited. It is already shelved, and access to the various tiers is afforded by means of a light iron gallery of• elegant design. A room similar in size is situated immediately overhead : this will also be used for the storage of books, and access to it will be given from the room below by a spiral staircase, but which has not yet been broken through. The students' room, which immediately adjoins the lower reference library, is a fine spacious apartment, and it has been furnished already with a magnificent glass and mahogany case fur the security and display of the more valuable class of books. The upper storey is approached by a grand staircase from the north, or Clayton-street, end of the building, and contains upon the east side the second library-room, to which we have referred. This storey also affords space for a small lecture-room, and small museum ; whilst at the north side there is a spacious lecture-hall, in the form of an amphitheatre, capable of containing from , 400 to 500 persons. It is lighted from above by four sun-burners, and is now so far complete that only a few seats remain to be laid down. There are lavatories, .water-closets, and every con venience upon each storey, and the basement of the building has already been turned to extensive account. This contains, upon the east side, (1 11 Pacidng , sorting, and arranging .rooms ; on the west, the lower museum, with residence for the keeper, &c., for whom fine lofty apartments have been provided, with ceilings from sixteen. to seventeen feet high, and which will be fitted up with every modern convenience. On the west side of the basement there is a large space, which has just been appropriated to the use of the five principal learned societies of the town, and which will be devoted to the exhibition of new inventions, models, and draw ings,—each of the societies having a portion assigned to them for the purpose. The work here is in an advanced state of progress ; the columns are up, and the roof about to be put on. The furnace-room and heating apparatus are located at the north end. -7 The erection of the Free Library was commenced in March, 1858; and we certainly never knew any public building which has progressed so rapidly in its erection. Mr. Weightman, the . Corporation surveyor, has the honour of having been the architect of this noble struc ture ; and his magnificent design and able plans have been most carefully and efficiently carried out under the superintendence of Mr. Crierie, as clerk of the works. Messrs. Holme and Nicol were the contractors, and Mr. THE DAILY TIAIES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1860. , . • Yates the. 'Mason.; The !plaster 'and stucco 'work. was. ,executed by Mr—BrOmiey ; the plumbing , and. painting : by Mr. bolt; and the glazing by IV(r. Moss. The contract price, we belieie; Wasabout £:31,000 ; bUt the ;plans enlarged in accordance with the development, ,'"f the design, and the actual cost will probably not fall very far short of £50,000. All the work, we need not state, is of a first-class character; and it is a het which speaks well , for the careand Supervision . which have been exercised, that during the whole progress of the works but one accident has occurred ; one poor fellow had his leg broken, but is new as well as ever. The levels of the site on which the building stands have termed 90: or the greatest difficulties: 'which have had to he contended with ; but th e p r i n cipal of these have been successfully otetdome. Architects all know the difficulties which have to be encoitritered in placing d large building, Which must be perfectly letel i Upon a sloping site, without the appearance of extravagance in ,its outline from sortie point of view but 'really these have been wonderfully vatignished. With the' exception of a slight or gradual ; descent toVrards the lower end, the platform or carriage drive upon the esplanade is perfectly level ; and the wall fronting Shaw's-brow, which is made to, slightly die away, is surmounted by the simple yet beautiful balustrade which was laid down experimentally, in the first instance, before St. George's hall. From the foot of Shaw's-brow the esplanade is reached by a treble flight of stairs about nine steps high; but carriages will both enter and emerge by the tipper or eastern end, which Will be perfectly open to and readily accessible from either Islington tit London road. GREAT FESTIVITIES AT KNOWSLEY: . , . .. . , MARRIAGE. OF THE LADY EMMA STANLEY. It has for some time been publicly kneWri that Lady Emma Stanley, only daughter of the Earl and Countess of Derby, was about to be united in marriage to the Hon. Colonel Talbot, brother of the Earl of ,Shrews bury and Talbot, and yesterday forenoon the marriage was solemnised at Knowsley Church, in the presence of a brilliant circle,. consisting of the families of both parties. The invitations were.confined to the immediate relatives of the bride and bridegroom, with the exception of the family of the Earl of Sefton, Lord-Lieutenant. of the County. Long before the hour fixed for the ceremony, every part of the church was filled . with spectators; the churchyard was also crowded, and.all the approaches to the sacred edifice were besieged, by the friends and tenantry of the noble Earl, Whe had Come to witness the proceedin gs .

About twenty minutes past eleYen o'clock, the party from the hall began to arrive at the church. The caval cade consisted of twelve carriages, nine of which belonged .to the Earl of Derby..and three to the Earl of Sefton. The first carriage which arrived at the church contained Colonel Talbot, the bridegroom. He was accompanied by Colonel Love ; who acted as his " best man." The next carriage contained the Dowager Countess of Sefton, the Lady Cecilia Molyneux, and the Misses Hopwood.

In about a quarter of an hour' after the guests had all been seated,' the noble bride, resting on the arm of her brother, Lord Stanley, (who in the absence of the Earl of Derby from, illness, gave the bride away,) entered the church, and as they passed through the churchyard, the twenty girls, already referred to, pro fdsely stkeWed flowers alotig the path of the bride. Lord Stanlev having accompanied the bride to the altar, the brideSmaids, (all of whom having splendid bouquets) surrounded her, and the ceremony was coin menced by the Rev. Frankllepwood,.uncle (by marriage) of the In=idet Aciti — cOnelusion, LadyEinma took the , arm of the bridegroom, .who; along, with his bride, entered one of the carriages, and the whole party returned,to.,,Knowsley-hall, where a splendid dejouner was partaken of. The bride was magnificently attired in White satin, her head being covered bya rich lace veil, and a wreath of floW er a aroun d h e r head. Amongst the guests present were the Dowager Marchioness of Lothian, sister. of 'the bridegroom, the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, the Countess of Shrewsbury, Lord Ingestre, M.P., lriacL Royston, the Dowager Countess of Sefton, Lady, Cecilia Molyneux, Captain Molyneux, Lady Eleanor Hopwood and . the Misses Hopwood, the Countess of Derby, Lord Stanley, the Hon.

The'folloWhig *ere the distingdished ladies, all Con nected by relationship with the two families, whO acted as bridesmaids on the interesting occasion :—Lady Cecilia Molyneux, the Misses Hopwo.ods, Lady -Letitia Kerr, Lady Alice Kerr, Lady Gertrude Talbot, Lady Egerton, and the "MisSes Wilbraham. They were all uniformly attired in white muslin, and:each carried a magnificent _bouquet. In'the course of the afternoon, the happy couple left . Knowsley for Blythe-hall, near' Ormskirk, (one of the seats of Lord Skelmeradale) 'where they intend to spend a pertidn of the hOticynioon, Knowsley cihtirch, which is pleasantly situated in thd' village of Knowsley, and about a mile distant from the family mansion, was originally built about eighteen years ago, chiefly at the expense of the Earl- of Derby. A few years ago it was found too small for the increas ing population, hut until 'within, the last six months the contemplated alterations and extensions had not pro- . seeded. Since that time, however, they have been rapidly pushed forward. The 'designs were furnished by Messrs. Paley, architects, of, Lancaster, and have been executed under . the Superintendence of Mr. Gorton, who has acted as clerk of works. During the last six weeks, more especially since it became , knovirn that the marriage was to take place, every exertion lure been made to complete them. A great portion of the roof had been taken off to admit of the , enlargement being made, but within the last few 'weeks it has been re-placed, and the whole of the interior arrangements are now completed. The alterations and improvements have been made at an expense of upwards of £2,000; 'the whole of which sum has been defrayed by the Earl of Derby, . . CORONER'S COURT. Yesterday the Coroner held the following inquests : On the - body of John Drew, 63 years of age, who kept a public house at 10, Clifton-street, out of Prince Edwin-street. Eliza Drew, his wife, said she went to housekeep for him some twelve months ago, and he married her. He was in the habit of drinking raw rum to great excess. He used to Complain that he would come to poverty, and attempted to destroy himself.three times before last. Sunday. On Sunday last he appeared strange, the same as when lie attempted to destroy him self before, and his .wife missed him about two o'clo c k, and she went - for Thomas Barton, and lie lifted the tr a p door and saw the deceased_ hanging there. Thoma s Barton, a mariner, stated that the deceased and hi s wife lived very unhappily, and she drank as well 'a s deceased. He 'found the body hanging as described in the cellar. He was not dead then, but lived till Tues day.. The wife of the last witness said she saw a rope in deceased's hand, and he said he would put an end to himself. Dr Ackerley stated that he attended deceased, and strangulation was the cause of death. The Jury returned a verdict'of found hanging. On the body of John Connor, a sailor on board the Aniericau ship " Invincible." The deceased fell from the rnizen top of the ship, and was killed on the . sp ot , The, unfortunate affair was accidental, and the Ju r y returned a verdict accordingly. LIVERPOOL CHEMISTS' ASSOCIATION. fee The first meeting for the winter sessions of the mem. bore of the above association, was held last evening, at the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street. Tea and c wcee laid upon the table at eight o'clock; the meeting. commenced half an hoiirafterwards. The was a large attendance. -Dr. •EDWARDS, who occupied the chair, made a f ew remarks,. congratulating the society on the commence ment of its twelveth session. The following gentlemen were elected members of the society,—Messrs. James Pyser, 26, Paddington ; A. E. Livsey, 177, Scotland 7 road ; Thomas Kaye, 12, Church street ; John 13enyon, 25, Ranelagh-street ; rt, Brewer, Custom louse ; Thomas Gibson. '22, Ranelagh- • street ; S. Banner, John Janies Evans, Hanover -street. Kirig, of the Gas Company; J. Thompson, Stanhope-street; and James Janson, Spencer-street, EvErton. Mr. James. Melvin was elected "an associate. The Chairman announced that a number of donations had been received for the Museum. Mr. H. S. Evans exhibited specimens of curious fruit obtained from Africa. They were perfectly unknown in this country ; and he invited inspection, with a view of ascertaining their natural hist or y and discov ering their qualities, arid the uses to which. they might be applied. He had sent a specimen of each to a scientific • gentleman in London, who suggested that they mi g h t belong to- th e f am ily of the Guinea pepper. He had obtained f rom thema resinous perfume, which formed a very agreeable tincture. The secretary (Mr. Walker) showed two books, pre sented to the society by Mr. Thomas Britten. One was "On Dispensing," published in 1682; the other was a copy of " The Dispenser's Vade-mecum." A number of useful books had also been bought and added to the library since the last session. The committee were about to buy a second lot, w hi c h would b e exhibited in due, course. He refe rre d to the resignation of Mr. Shaw of the office of secretary ; and, pressed f as he was, into that p os t, h e would endeavour to fill it creditably until they could appoint a successor. The Chairman and a Member referred to Mr. Walker's services in connection with the library, and they were glad that circumstances had enabled him to receive additional •drities. They hoped that the secr e ta ryship would not be aga i n vacant for a length of time. The SuCarr Arty complained that some gentlemen did not make that use of the library which he -was certain, under other circumstances, they would; because it was stated it involved a certain amount of trouble on his part. Now, he assured these parties that if they desired to please him at .little trouble, they would hasten to make the greatest use of the books in the library. He announced that the charges for the use of the micro scope ,had been decreased from 6d. per day, or 2s. per week, to 6d. for two days, or ls. per week, with the use of objects for inspection inclusive. . Mr. H. S. EVANS read an interesting paper on the museum. Discussion followed. •The CHAIRMAN announced, at the close, - tha t accord ing to the programme f or the 18th October, the learned professions arid scientific societies would join in the pro cession. He desired all the members who could make it convenient to attend at the proper time at the Town hall. The proceedings were then closed.

The proceedings of this committee comprised a recom mendation. to accept .the tender of Mr. A. Robinson, for a supply of :picked oakum ; and t o accept t h e t en d er o f the Chillington Company for a supply of strong cable iron for making chains, It was also recommended that a shed should be erected at the east corner of the Canada timber ground, for the accommodation of the - labourers employed there, at the estimated cost of £lBO.. to be repaid by the lessees of the different :yards; and' that the tender 6f Mr: Thomas Robinson be accepted for the supply of 1,00 tons of iron railway bars, of the Ebervale Company's manufactilfe, Me ssrs: Ll oy d , J ones , and N. had written Withdrawing the notice which they had given to give (up their land on the Harrington estate and it had been agreed that they should continue tenants as heretofore. Mr. linoefailiithi haiing moved the Confirmation of the proceedings, Mr. LAIRD said, so far as he Wald heat from 'the accounts which had been read, there had been about an equal expenditure of wages for labour on both sides of ;the river—being in one case £2,295, and in the other £2,286. It was quite evident that the men who ought to be at work on the .low-water basin had been taken elsewhere. The IoW-water basin was much behind, and it Was evident to any , one going over the works at - Ilitkenhead'that there had been a great slackening of Work ; and it Was known to all the members ,of the board that till they had the low Water basin Completed, altho'ugh they , Might open the Mont; the could not o have abodt feet 6 inches of ,Water helm+ int' Old dock sill,. so that it would not be fit for large ships td in. Looking to the fact that the lOw-:water basinwas, by the act of Parliament and the agreement entered into ' to hate been completed about this time, it. appeared to him that they were not doing all they could to comply with the act, for the anal:hint authbrised to be expended 'at Birkenhead was a Million and a half, and on this side only £300,000 ; yet they were now expending as much on the. Liverpool side as at 'Birkenhead.' Any one going over the works could judge for himself: Mr. BROCKLEDOK. thought that Mr. Laird should not draw the inference from the expenditUre for wages being eqUaLon one side and the other that the works at Birkenhead were not going on in that satisfactory manner in which' they ought to he. 'He thought it might have been desirable, before Mr. Laird had made such a statetnerti f that he should have enquired as to What was the real state of the case. He (Mr. B.) apprehended that as they got their works nearer com pletion—;that was the great entrances into the float—it was net possible to employ as large a narnber of men as When the mole ostensive works were going on. As to the IoW water basin, he knew that oh the sonth side they were making every prep'aration they. could for the purpose of getting in tho Wall. The . subject 3itas, however, worthy . the consideration of the Works Committee. He pledged himself that further inquiry should be made; and if there had been arty neglect. it should be remedie4 forthwith. The CHAIRMAN regretted with Mr. Brocklebank - that Mr. Laird should not have enquired into the circUmstences of the case. He must remember that the expenditure on Birkenhead was not . only the two thousand odd pounds, but that there was a contractor there to whom they were paying a large sum of money. Surely Mr. tait4 did not mean to send it forth to the public- that it With their ddty to do 'lathing on this side of the water. -Even if it wereVaMible; Whieh he believed it was not, to transfer the whole of the laboiirers to the other side, it should be borne in mind that a Considerable portion of the wages expended here were absoluteiy necessary to keep the docks in repair; it did not all go for addi tional works at the north end of the town. It so hap pened that the engineer's state of health obliged him to be out of 'town; but he could say confidently that he lead had instructions to push the work on the other side as fast as he could. He (the chairman) had told him thig ofef and over pin, and he had told him that he was doing so to the iitnitist of his power ; but Mr. Laird wished it to be inferred that ineritt-se they were doing .some work here, they were not going oil-as fait as they should at the other side. It was possible; if they stop ped everything . here that they might spend about £4OO. or £5OO. more at Birkenhead; but taking the immense traffic to be provided for into account, it was unreason able, and no one could expect the tremendous works of this port to, be stopped in order that a small portion Might be eexpended on. the other side. He could state positively that the engineer had had instructions from both the Works Committee and himself individually, to do all he could ; and they knew Mr. liartlO's honesty. and straightforwardness of purpose, when he assured _them that he was doing so. The engineer not being present, they were placed at a 'disadvantage in giving answers to questions of this kind. Mr. RANXIN .could confirm everything- which had been said-"as to .the anxiety which existed to push the works on. the other side, and everything was being done. He thought the 'board sheUld not forget the great necessities of the steam trade on this.sid b e of the river, and the absolute necessity existing to push forward the new deck as quickly as they could. The works in progress to the north of the. Canada Dock were as abso lutely necessary as anything. could be to the estate, for the water carriers and others were urgent in the appli cations for accommodation. So long as Birkenhead Was not neglected it would be very wrong to delay the works in progress on this side. . Mr. LAIRD did not wish to make another speech, hut simply to comment on a word which the chairman had Used. He had said that he (fr. Laird) wished it to be "inferred." Now, he was prepared to prove the state ment which he had made, and to go into' the subject with the Works Committee. Mr. BROCKLEBAWK replied, that Mr. Laird was a motnbor or tho Worlso Ci....."22;++00 14,ncole ; .anti ha not see why he should not have put his questions to the committee, who were the proper parties to put right anything which might , be :wrong. - , The proceedings were then confirmed, as were also those of the Warehouse Committee. The proceedings of the Marine Committee comprised a recommendation to transmit the thanks of the Board to all land=owners and others who have permitted and facilitated the passage of the electric telegraph through their p ro perty; and on the motion of Mr. Mendel, seconded by Mr. Langton, they were confirmed. The Pilotage Committee's minutes were next read and confirmed. THE DOCKS AND QUAYS COMMITTEE. The 'proceedings bf this committee 'comprised a recom-,, mendatton to fix 26 mooring posts on the east quay,' Brunswick Dock; and another to appropriate.the south west corner of the Prince's Basin, and the north side of the entrance to Tosteth Dock, for the purpose of landing gunpowder. The mooring; posts, it was estimated, would coSt . XISO. Mr. LOCKETT, in moving the confirmation of the proceedings, was understood to say that the committee had had under their consideration the fact that fishing vessels and yachts now went into the graving docks without paying dues for going in ; but it was thought that this exemption should cease, and all vessels be made to pay. He also mentioned that it had become neces sary for a time to close the Canning Basin, from the fact of two large fenders, crushed from a vessel's side, having sunk and impeded the proper closing of the gate. Some regulations would .be made as to the size of fenders llsed . by ships hauling into' dock, which wowld prevent such an occurrence in future. Mr. LAIRD referred to some difference, not explained, which had occurred between the Canard Company and the board, and said he understood it had been left.to some parties to.compromise. He trusted no compromise would be made ; it was a serious matter if they admitted such a liability as that.: The CHAIRMAN was sure the Docks and Quays Com mittee would do nothing- to compromise the board; but it was unusual, and would be very detrimental to the interests of the board, for matters not'ripe for discussion to be brought forward there. Mr. MorsnEr, moved that that part of the proceedings as to the landing of gunpowder should be referred back for further consideration. He knew that by the Act they had power to appoint the places named for the purpose, but there were grave objections to them. From the first place the powder must pass through one of the most populods places; and the other, though nearer the outskirts of the town, adjoined valuable property, and was still very dangerous. The magazines had been objected to on account of their supposed danger ; bUt be thought there was less danger in deposit than in transit, and there was more danger in the powder pass ing through the town than when it was lying in the magazines. The CnisinsrAsr said the question had been fully con sidered in all its bearings. They must, as far as they could, do what was desirable for the trade of the port, at the. same time considering the safety of the inhabi tants. With regard to the passage of the powder through, there were very stringent regulations by law affecting it, and no doubt t h e se would be enforced, Mr. Mondel would he aware that there was a good deal of • powder used in the town and its neighbourhood for blasting purposes; and it was desirable that it should he landed as near as possible to the railway stations.. The floating depots were for gunpowder for shipment : these were for powder to be used in the town or its immediate neighbourhood. All the matters Mr. Mondel urged had been considered. Mr. INformEr. had no doubt of that; but he wished time to be given for an expression of the public opinion as to so great a change. There had been no place assigned for that purpose in the docks before. Mr. LOCKETT said Mr. Mendel was under a mistake. The Prince's basin had been used for years for that purpose. Mr. DARBicSHIRE — It was landed at the east side before. This will be at the south-west corner, which it is thought will be better. The board had power at any time to alter the places. Mr. Mosrnm, then consented to withdraw his motion, and tho proceedings were confirmed. Mr. ARNOLD, in moving the confirmation of the pro ceedings of the Master Porterage Committee, which were next read, stated that the committee had fixed T'uesday next to receive a deputation from the Underwriters as to the appointment of a surveyor. CO3IMUNICATIONS. A letter was read from Messrs. D. and C. Buchanan and Co., calling the attention of the board to the rate charged in the dock warehouses for sampling East Indian cotton, which they contended was out of all proportion to the rates charged in private warehouses, where it was sampled by their own men. The letter was referred to the Warehouse Committee. A communication was next read from Messrs. Spartali and others, complaining of the non-delivery of a quan tity of fustic consigned to them, and which had been deposited in one of the dock warehouses. This also was referred to the Warehouse Committee•for enquiry. Applications for increase of salary were read and referred, from Joseph Wood, master of the Qu een , i Dock ; Samuel Stevens, gau g er at the Albert D oc k Warehouses; and David J. Irving, assistant on the Holyhead Telegraph Line. THE OPENING OF THE FREE LIBRARY. ......_...... .... ...___ The CHAIRMAN stated that a letter had been just received from Mr. Shuttleworth and Dr. Hume, the secretaries of the arrangements committee, with respect to the' opening of the Free Library. This he read. It was an invitation to the hoard to take part in the procession from the Town-hall, to the Lib rary , ---The Chairman added : There is our meeting en that day. Mr. LAIRD said he was a member , of the Committee, but was away from home when the tickets Were appro, priatcd so' that on-his return, although a member, he was told that hie' could not get one. (Laughter.) czymA , N ,-- ,;aiii the doiffetrerte ?TOW hit:lllU ' fiivour to . send }lfni one as representing are board. They might meet a little rapier next Thursday, so as to give liberty fo".lroiegentletiien 'op to attend'. Mr. LAIRD said they fSittlft meet the day before. Mr. ARNOLD thought that Ott tit* Thursda_y sufEcient • members would easily be found to go' through the • business. • - / t , Atr. NORTH, the solicitor, said three only were re . ) quired to form a quorum. Mr. FORWOOD thottbLit was a question, of feeling with the chairman himself/a to whether he wished the board to accompany him. The CHAiR3IAti did not think, So. It was a question for the toard themselves to determine. Ile' thought it proper and desirable that they should pay every iitrrk of respect to Mr. Brown upon an occasion of that kind. After same further conversation, it was agreed that the usual weekly meeting should be held at one o'clock OA Wednesday next, so as to permit such of the mem bers as chose to take part in the procession on the fol lowing day. THE CORPORATE PROPERTY AT BIRKENHEAD. 1 • Mr. LAIRD should like to know whether it was com petent for the Parliamentary Committee', without special ntitiee of motion, to give the usual Parliamentary notices for a bill for the purchase of the reversionary interest of the Corporation at Birkenhead. He asked for this rea son,-11e stw that last Wednesday a report on the subject had been presented to the . Council, the considera tion of which had been deferred till the next meeting,—, that ine'etiny; not taking place till the 31 st of this month. The Council then brake tip, and they should be too late to give the usual notices. The CHAIRMAN said that had °tamed to himself; and he had seen the solicitor, and instructed him by no means to let the time pass for giving the necessary notices. . The notices must be advertised three times. Mr. NORTH, the solicitor, said the notices must be given before the 16th of November. Mr. LAIRD thought the matter was of so much im portance that the parliamentary committee should have the notices published, whether they came to an arrange- Meat Or not, so that they might proceed if the negotia tions should The CHAIRMAN agreed vtith Mr. Laird, and repeated that the solicitor lied riceii , ed instructions on the subject. VESSELS TN THE TRACK OF TAR FERRY STEAMERS. Mr. MONDEL said there was a letter from the manager of the Woodside Ferry sent to the Marine Comirdittfic, but it was addresSed to the chairman of the board. lie had not heard it read. It was about vessels anchoring in the tracli of the ferry steamers. Similar communications were sent r:ery week, and the com mittee did not know what to do With them : they could not ignore them. The communication referred to was read. it wit tained simply a list of vessels which had anchored during the week in the track of the ferry steamers. The CHAIRMAN—It is the usual weekly letter. Mr. MoNDEL—It is addressed to you. Mr. SHAND —ls it lithographed ?. Mr. MoNotr, said the managor of the Ferry Com mittee assumed a position towards that board which was hardly justifiable, and he hardly knew how the committee should treat such letters. The CHAinStax—They, gentlemen, call attention to the facts, And you give them the attention they deserve. If there is anything in the letters which requires notice, no doubt yoti will give attention to them. Mr. Mor nEL thought, as one of the Pilots Committee, the proper answer Would be to g ive a renewed order to pilots to avoid the prescribed bo unds. Mr. LAIRD thought it was very evident why the letters were sent. The board had full power to keep that track clear; and he thought the Commissioners were entitled to give a weekly notice, so that if an acci dent occurred the board could not say they were igno rant of the state of matters. Mr. MONDEL made some reply which we did not distinctly bear, and This closed the public business. THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. The usual weekly meeting of this committee was held at the Town-hall yesterday. Mr. Alderman Dover pre sided. The other members of the committee present were—Messrs. Sheil, ereilin, Haydock, Ridley, Nickson, Bowring, Steel, Job, Stitt, and Barton. The minutes of the last meeting having been con firmed, the following reports were read :—The Borough engineer, Building Surveyor, and Inspector of Nui sances reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week ; from which it appeared that 368. nuisances complained of by inhabi bitants bad been , inspected, and means taken to remedy them; 1,561 houses in the unhealthiest districts, Con taining 4,951 apartments and 689 cellars. had been put under examination, with the view of improving their sanitary condition. The. Medical Officer of Health reported that the dieths registered in the borough during the first week of October were 184, being 54 less than the corrected average of the same week of the preceding ten years, or 37 less than the Uncorrected averah,re. Of the 184 deaths 116 were in, the parish, and 68 m the out-townships. Zymotic diseases occasioned 38 deaths, less than one-half the average. Of these nine were from scarlatina, eight typhus, &c., seven diarrhoea (average 18), three each from flimsies, hopping cough, and syphilis, and one each from small pox. croup, and infantile cholera. The mortality from diseases of the lungs was increased by the cold of the previous week. The deaths were 66, one half more than in the week preceding, and ten more than the corrected average. THE SANITARY IMPROVEMENT. The Deputy Town-clerk brought up a report from the sub-committee appointed some time since relative to the more speedy removal of the night soil and other offensive matter from the Burlington-street depot, with the plans for carrying out the arrangement. The plan" proposed is to have quay space upon the canal at Bur lington-street, extended suffieienty to accommodate eight barges, and covered sheds with stabling for the contractors' horses, and other necessary erections. The committee recommend mat an me onetime oupostus shall be at once placed in the barges front the carts, which would prevent all offensive effluvia escaping, and that the street sweeping and ashes might be depo sited in the yard. The cost of this alteration would be about £B,OOO but, the rent paid by the contractors for the stables, &e., would go a great way in liquidation of that- expenditure. Mr. BOWRING moved the adoption of . the report, and in doing so said the subject was one of great interest to all large towns. It was the removal and the dis posal of all offensive accumulations in the best possible manner, so that they were not injurious to the health of the town. He said the question had been before the committee some years since, and the surprise was that the alterv:tion had not been carried out before. The borough engineer would produce the plans and explain them to the committee ; and lie hoped that they would be adopted and carried out before they entered into a new contract for, the ensuing year with Mr. Rose for the removal of the night soil. The OnAialwag did not think that the subject could be considered in such baste. He had never before heard of it, and it was of too nineli importance to be dealt with without more consideration. Mr. BOWRING—The plans have already been approved of by the Council. The thimnm.i.): said he did not mean to object to the adoption of the report, but he wished to know what was to be done with the farmers coming from the south side of the town for manure. The llorough Engineer—They will be the same as now. Mr. HAYDOCX said it was a most important question, and suggested that the report should be referred to the Tiesday's committee for them to report upon. The CHAlnina-s thought that the present contractors should be consulted upon the subject, as it might be that they had already provided themselves with stable accommodation. The more information was got upon the matter the b'tter. The plans were sanctioned by the Council in 1849, before many of us were members of the Council. The report was then referred back to the committee for further infotmation, with the understanding that it was to be brought up next week. OPENING OF. THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. A deputation; consisting of Lieut.-Colonel Bousfield and other members of the Arrangement Committee for opening the Free Public Library on Thursday next, attended to request permission to place barriers at the end of several streets along the route the procession of volunteers will take on that day. The committee granted the permission, subject to their being erected under the approval of the borough engineer, the Arrangement Committee having agreed to pay all the expenses. MR. ELLIS JONES AND MR. BECKWITH. Mr. BECKWITH then directed the attention of the committee to a letter which had been inserted in a daily paper from Mr. Ellis Jones, complaining of an observation he had made, that "Mr. Jones was a trou blesome customer." Mr. Beckwith then went on to explain that in the year 1859, there was a complaint made of a nuisance existing in the house in which Mr. Jones lived, that he had been repeatedly served with notices to remove that nuisance ; and it was not until the 16th of August in the present year tkat, in conse quence of the nuisance not having been abated, that he was summoned before the magistrates, when those gen..; tlemen took a very 'lenient view of the question, and ordered it to be done in seven days. Then there was other property for which he had to be served with several notices. Front that he thought that Mr. Jones must have "been a very troublesome customer " to the officers of the committee, and he (Mr. Beckwith) had said so ; but helvas sorry if it gave hi m any pain, nor when he said it did, he not intend to give him any offence.. With regard to the other charge, that the, committee had charged him £43 for sewerage, and that upon his complaining, .they had reduced it, it would be for Mr. M`Gowan and the Borough Engineer to explain that. He stated that £2,F; 'had been taken off the account, which implied a charge. Mr. 1114 Gown, the Borough Engineer, and the Chair man explained the circumstances of the case, observing that when property was severed it was difficult to fiud the owners of- the property. Such was the case in this instance; and after. Mr. Jonea had explained that iris property was not benefited by the sewerage to the extent it was first thought, and therefOre, as was alMost daily the case, the bill was readjusted, and each party had to pay their proper proportions. Mr. SHELL observed that there was nothing extra ordinary in the . matter. 'The bill was sent in and after wards readjusted. There was nothing to complain of in that, as it was constantly occurring in merchants' offices. It appeared t o hi m t h at ' al l had been done that could be done by the committee. bro There being other business before the committee it, with stealing two towels from Arm Walker, an eating house keeper, and an apron frOin a person in Egerton street. • The thief was caught with the articles in his possession, by police officer Clark. He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment , BANKRUPTCY COURT. —IC re Charles Denea : This was the day fixed for the last examination of this bank rupt, a general merchant, recently carrying on business in Liverpool. As the bankrupt failed to come forward and surrender, at the close of the court the proclamati on of outlawry was made against him in the usual form.— In re R. and G. Carratbers : The bankrupts, who carried on business in Liverpool as trawlling drapers, crane up on their adjourned last examititition. Mr. Rymer sup ported, and Mr. Evans appeared for the assignees. The bankrupts having been examined by Mr. Evan& .aa to their accounts, were allowed to pass, some further ques delta being reserved for the certificate meeting. • REMOVAL AND TRANSFER OF PUBLICANS' LICENSES.

Liverpool, Oct. 10, fBCO. • onion. THE RINGING OF CAURCI DELLS ON THE 18TH INSTANT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. &R, -- I perceive by a letter in yesterday's Mercury, signed by William Thistlevrood, steeple keeper at St. Nicholas's Church, th at t h e bells are not to be rung on the 18th instant, the day appointed for the opening of the Free Library, the gift of William Brown, Esq to the town at large. M r . Thi st l ewood ' s words are, "I waited upon the committee, and told them the usual charge; they refused to g ive me th e or d er, assigning as a reason that the funds at their disposal were too limited, aid also that they considered the bells too distant from the route of the procession." Mr. Thistlewood adds, that therare one of the finest sets of bells in the king dom, and it will be the first time they have not been rung on a public holiday. Is it possible that there can be such wretched parsi mony and total absence of delicacy on the part of the committee ; or is it that the Dissenter predominates, and that he does not relish the sound of our beautiful parish church, bells? Shame ! Where are the Church men on the committee ? Have they not spirit enough to do what is correct in feeling and taste? To say that the bells are not in the route of the procession, is indeed too paltry—they are in the very locality where the procession will form (the Town-hall and area of the Exchange) and .adjoining Mr. Brown's fine pile of offices in dhapel-street. You will oblige me by ascer taining whether the committee adhere to their original determination if so, would it not be advisable to get up a subscription on 'Change to defray the expense ? I am, &c., 'Change, 11th Oct. 1860. DICKY ►SAN. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT--YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) THE NEW ACT. It may not e ' be generally known as yet, that person s who. refuse to ledv 4 publiC-houses, and houses licensed under the' recent act of Parliament,-when requested to do so, are liable' to a fine of 40s. TIC& °Per - ideas of this act have been may brought to bear in one c'a'ke',' geforl the present. Yesterday,. Thom. s Dollison and Augusetiir TeMple 'were charged by the keeper of an eating house for beitlgcdtherderlY, and refusing td' leave his house. It appeared that on' Wednesday night the prisoners went to his' house, where they Vad i remierefreshment, and ,then created a disturbance with the girt Wilts" was in attendance, and refused to leave the house, aitl ; .enttgh itqueeted to do so several times. Mr. Raffles wished it to be understoetll that he would put this act in force in all cases brouglt before: him. He fined the prisoners lOs each or 14 days' impriscannent.. WELSH GAMBOLS. Two persons of respectable exterior, who gave the nameeor Edward Lewis and Richard Roberts, and who said they were natives of the 'Principality, of the Ich dien plume, were' charged by Inspector Moore, who said they were drunk and disorderly in the streets. He advised them to desist and go away, bal they refused, and became worse, so that he was obliged to lock them up. Mr. Raffles censured the conduct of the prisoners, and said it was a shame and an outrage to see persons of apparent respectability disgracing themselves in the streets and annoying the public after such fashion,. He fined them 5s and costs each or 14 days' imprisonment. ARISTOCRATIC BURGLARS CAPTURED'. William Broadbent, a well dressed and rather powerful fel low, but very desperate looking, and George Haskey, a well dressed young man, were brought up by Police-officer 822, on, the following charge. He said at twelve o'clock last night I was inforffled that there were some men at the rear of the in Lord-street, and on going round to George's-court, I saw the prisoner Broadbent en the back wall of Mr. Daniel'e (watchmaker and jeweller) house. I caught him and found this dark lantern, with this bit and brace, and chisel on him. The other prisoner dropped off the wall into the yard, and on him I got this gold *Watch and chain, and a box of matches. I asked Broadbent what he wanted there? and he used an ha• pudent answer, and told me to get him a brush to brush his coat, and a basin of water and towel to wash his hands. (Laughter.) Mr. Daniels' foreman, who resides on the pre mises, said, I was roused up by the private watchman about twelve o'clock, and on going into the back I found the prisoner Haskey there. • The wall is over ten feet high, and one must have got upon the other's shoulders to reach the top of it. I asked Broadbent (when he was brought in) what brought him there And he gave me a very saucy reply, and desired me to get him a brush for his clothes and water to wash his hands. I said I wonder you did not come to housebreak in your gloves and I wonder he did not, for his gloves were got in his pocket. (Laughter) The watch and chain found on Haskey were the e r e t ho from £l4 to £l6. I think I saw Broadbent looking into Prisoner.p be A fo lp re ri n v o a w te , w bu at t c l htn ea a n n 't , w sa h y o t i la s a e t m l pl e o v y e e r d sa h w y t t h h e e sohthoper akeneopiesreslatostlnooi k after the back premises at night, said: I heard theca p t p u o r l e i c, of theilt e g e h rp, t rai a sn nil e g ttisri a:c an alarm, and the result was the reply to Mr. Raffles, Superintendent o o f bo t r h a e t ed e fin din ge Kehoe t said he "implement."s t t h a e te . i p t of le ments" were house-breaker's tools, and the br a ce was used to chisel, or " Jemmy," was used to force out the piece of wo o d f rom do could be made.

Felix Hobin, the master of the French schooner Theophile Felix, of Nantz, summoned Mr. Colbourne, the owner of the ferry-steamer Wallasey, for £l7 15s. 6d., alleged damage, caused by a collision on the night of the 3rd of October. Mr. Block was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Colbourne appeared for himself. The facts were short. Felix Hobin, the master of the schooner, was examined, and said he arrived here, from Nantz, on the 3rd of October, and was at anchor (with two anchors) off Egremont, and had a pilot on board. The crew were on deck at two o'clock in the morning, when the collision took place. It would appear that on the night in question, the Wallasey was at anchor a good way off, and it seemed she dragged her anchor and came in contact with the schooner. The pilot who had charge of the schooner said the steamer must have come to a foul berth, and swung or dragged her anchor, and thus caused the accident. The witnesses were cross-examined by the defendant, and then Mr. Block put in an estimate of the damage, as made by a surveyor. Mr. Col bourne called the captain of the steamer, who stated that the schooner drifted on them at the ebb tide, and said he had lights, but the schooner had none. The paddle-box was broken in by the jibboom of the other vessel. The engineer of the steamer was examined, and stated that the other vessel dragged her anchor and went into the steamer, and made two or three holes in her and stove in the paddle-box. Mr. Col bourne said he would leave the case, on its merits, to thn opinion of the magistrates. The bench reviewed the whole cue, and decided that the steamer was in fault, and ordered the amount claimed to be paid. .skipping ittelligract. Wind yesterday, E.N.E.; at Holyhead.
