SEAPORT"( AID WATERLOO.—A movement is said to be making by a number of respectable individuals in both these places, who have united to introduce into their re spective localities the operations of the Public Health Act, which confers upon a local board nearly all the powers of a special local improvement act. By this act a system of sewerage, a supply of water, the removal of nuisances, lighting and paving, good roads, and various other sanitary advantages, are placed within the reach o the inhabitants of any defined district through the instill mentality and management of a local board. _ s lying in the river, preparatory ILation rk, one of the passengers was appre hended, and his newly-married wife, himself, and his luggage, brought .on shore,• and conveyed in custody to Glasg , ow. It turned out that he was a baker frau the neighbourhood of that city, and having failed to meet a bill due to his corn merchant, he suddenly got married, and eloped with his bride to Liverpool en route to America, hoping 'by that expedient to escape his liab ties. His creditor, hove to sailin: of his - 'whereabouts, sent a messenger afte A n officer ?Rrehensbn, him. armed with a warrant relied all the vessels bout le;;ing the port, while the messer treets in the hope of meeting V ashore on searched the He did ut the ie runaway trivial erranc messenger, not having the warrant, was at a loss how to apprehend him. The baker tried to get rid of his trouble some companion, and at last darted into an omnibus. pedient of giving the runaway inta custody oil the charge of picting.his pocket. Once in the hands of the police, the warrant was soon brought to light, and the baker briciegrooln is now in r briiin bac rAtairripri fa in ;gow ; the disconsolate HEALTH COMMITTEE sided at the supplemental Leld on Tuesday Mr. Alderman Langsdale g l re of this body, which was )osal of one or two miuor plaining that he had to • cart away a quantity of street sweepings, to an extent unanficipated at the time , of his making the contract. After some conversation, .it 'was agreed that Mr. Newlands -should find as much additional carting as might be.required, and that the cost sherd be deducted from the amount of Mr. Rose's contract. A re port was then read from `-Jr. Duncan, the water-engineer, in reference to the -charge brought against him by Mr. Bigham, at the last Ineeting, of having neglected to repair the water-pipes in Crown-street when laidtare, but aftprwartig tearing 111) for the nuroose some street bottom- ing, which had been laid after it had become solidified, and thus causing expense and delaying the , completion of the pavement of the• Street. The gist of Mr. Duncan's de fence was, that he did not know that the level of the street was goingto be lowered, and he said he had constantly en deavoured to work-in unison with the llettlfh Committee officers. A number'•of tenders to contract for the construc tion of sewers-were'then opened. The sewers required had been divided into five batches, in difrerentastricts. The total cost of•tlle sewers on the various contracts was about £7,000. TIMLN.WIT Ar• BURNLEY. — On Friday zthe notices given by the niasterspinners of the Burnley district, which in cludes Colne, Marsden, Barrowford, and a few smaller places, expired . ; and no arrangement having been effected with the men, : about seventy mills were• stopped, many of which, it is said, the masters do not care to start again before 'Christmas. Some of these arc large concerns. One of them, that of Messrs. George Barnes and Brothers, employs about -- a thousand hands ; another employs about 700. Some - are - very small concerns ; -nevertheless, it will be under rather than over the mark•.ta•estimate the whole as emfdoying.l.s„ooo hands, when it is 'borne in mind that the population of Burnley alone is' 2x,000. In Bacup all the factories; about forty in number, are out, with the ex ception of three. The masters appear-very resolved ; and, as they stata.in their notice that "the present depressed v... of the r..obavoo -rrlaCtl ftn in duced them- to take the course of elosing the factories, there -seems no prospect of a speedy resumption. The spinners of the Blackburn district .produce chiefly 32's yarn,•and &few make the heavier count of 18. Those of Bacup produce only 18's. The , effeet - upon consumption of the raw-ins.terial, caused by thesetextensive stoppages, will therefore be much greater than. that of the Preston stoppageovhere the finer counts are produced. It is es timated that Preston is at present- consuming from 4,000 to 6,000 , ba5e.s per week less thanansual. The decrease from.the-steppage in the Burnley district, and in Bacup, will, however, be from 8,000 to AOOO bales, which will create a.groat vacuum in the entire -consumption of the country. MEETITie OP MASTER SHIPWRIGHTS. —On Wednesday, a meeting -ef the Master Shipwrights' Association was . heldat.the Graving-dock Regulating...office, Strand-street. Mr. J. Wilson Greene occupied the -chair. The circular calling the meeting contained the following programme of the business :—" To consider a letter-receivd from Messrs. Joseph M"Lean and Co., stating that, not being able to procure-hands to complete the work sequired at the ship John Howl, in Sandon Graving-dca r at 7s. per day, and the captain having engaged a number of men at Bs. per day, Messrs. M`Lean and Co. wish to_dmow what course the association will recommend them .topursue. Also, to consider o letter received from the •Shipwrights' Associa tion." -After considerable discussion, it was resolved, " That the original resolution, allowing no cartage to be paid, remain intact." Several members expressed their opinion that if the captain of the John Howel persisted in paying the.-Bs. per day, Messrs. M`Lean ought to throw up the job ;and let him finish the ship liimself.—After a lengthy discussion Mr. M`Lean announcedihat they would adopt that- course.—The Chairman then read a letter which he had received from the secretary of the Shipwrights' Association.invitin,, ,, him to attendtheir meeting to be held at noon that day.—On the motiou.of Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Pope, it was resolved that the Chairman should accept the Anvitation. Several .ruembers .e so expressed their intention of being present—Mr. Garrett said he had just come from the Clarence Graving-dock, where he had been given,to understand that the.men inteujed to strike that night for Bs. a day.—The Chairman. said they could not do anytldng till the men had taken some,ateps. The meeting then- separated: Doci ExTZEBION.—It is 'stated that important dock changes have ,been brought before the Committee of Works by the dock surveyor. The first proposition relates to the new docks at the extreme north end of the town, between Beacon's-gutter and the Bootle-landmarks—the land which was purchased from the Earl of Derby, on condition that certain streets, running from west to east, should be made on it, at the expense of the Dock Trust, with a view to -the improvement of his lordship's. Bootle property. On this-site Mr. Hartley proposes to erect two docks of enormous ,extent, which will stover a water area of at lead 70 acres. ,One of these two docks it is intended to devote specially bathe wants of the timber trade, which will include great storing space on the ground, and also the floating of the timber in the dock. The other dock is to be appropriated to .-general purposes—to shipbuilding on the margin, from which vessels, when completed, can be launched into the dock, and to such other purposes as, the wants of the port .may require. The second sugges-: Lion of the dock surveyor is to erect two docks, running .east and west, on the site of the present George's Dock. There will be bridges in the centre, parallel with Bruns wick-street, so that easy access may be had at all times to and from the Landing-stage. The scheme will involve. the removal of the baths on. St. George's-pier. The-third feature in the new plans is .to appropriate the laud be- longeing to the Dock Estate, adjoining the Harrington Dock, for the purpose of anther-yards, for the accommo dation of such portion of the trade as refuse to take advantage of the north end. Jt is understood that, though the plans have been prepared, no estimate has yet been made of the cost of carrying out these extensive works. Skould the plans be sanetioned by the general committee, an application to carry .them into effect will be made in the next session of parliament. DOC% COMUITTEE.—At the weekly meeting on Thurs day, Mr. Turner in the chair, the secretary read several documents showing that Mr. Stewart had been in com mnnieation with the London and North-western Railway Company, relative to the giving up of the land at Wap ping required to complete the street and other improve ments. The chairman directed the surveyor to keep his attention fixed on the matter.—A letter was read from Mr. C. Pothonier, applying for a claim of £4l 10a. Gd., for lifting the Abltese brig Tiger, which received damage by grounding in the King's Dock, when the dock was allowed to run dry. The claim had been before the committee, who decided that it could not be entertained. After some discussion, the matter was referred to the solicitor to re port upon it.—The chairman intimated that the Mayor and Mr. Trafford, the chairman of the quarter sessions at Knutsford, met in order to revise the rates for vessels entering the port of Liverpool and not using the docks ; no alteration was considered necessary, and they passed the usual formal resolution, that the rates now levied should continue in operation for three years longer.—A letter was read from Mr. William Jolifl'e, owner of the steamer Pelham, stating that a sum of £328 Bs. had been expended upon that vessel in repairing the damage she had sustained in consequence of striking against the bell buoy. Mr. Tobin said the matter had been before the Marine Committee, who decided against the claim.—Mr. Evans wished to bring forward a matter, concerning the Harrington property. After alluding to the purchase of that estate, to which he was opposed, he said there was an annua l loss upon it of £B,oooor£9,oooa year, which equalled a loss on a capital of £260,000. He would suggest an in quiry into the matter, in order that they might have such rates as would give a return upon the real value of the land. The chairman said they ought to take the ren t o f the land occupied by the timber trade in connexion with the dock dues which brought the timber. Take it as a objection to refer the matter to the Com rawhitoteele,,4l43, some further couversatlon the heof Works, saw no matter dropped, CIE LIVERPOOI sr.—The 1 xt Thursday E THE NLIELNI DARING I away t money ti got aw TIT - C: RECENT FAUX journed meeti and Son, held 3, -On Friday ul's, Li which they - took MANCHE ST rtild be come to Messrs.

FIBS AT DA.RWEN7MILLEL—On Wednesday afternoon a large portion of Messrs. Potter's paper-staining works, known as the Belgrave Mills, was destroyed by fire. The fire 'broke out in a large building, erected three or form years ago, consisting of three storeys and an attic. This building, and another warehouse which stands a few yards from - it, contained at the time about 790,000 dozens .of 'finished.paper, and many thousands .of es graved rollers, 'besides Alarge quantity of 'drugs. The fire spread rapidly, and the 'men in the upper storeys had barely time to eseape,,for the interior soonrbecame a mass. of flame. In the course of two or three hours three fire engines arrived from Blackburn; but their 'united efforts coedd not save the building. The window •!frames at one end became ignited ; but-ts the firemen now turned all their energies to the protection of the warehouse, they succeeded in pre venting- the fire from spreading'beyond the building where it originated. This was now enveloped in flames, the roof fallingsin . by:degrees till nothing remained bat ;he walls. Meanwhile, the,tenant,s in the igijoining cottages had re , moved.their•furthture, and manythousands of dozens of paper had , been removed to a distance by the spectators. The loss is estimated at from £l5OOO to £20,000.

On Thursday a meeting of throstle spinnenc _ _ 4", yv• was held on the Marsh. Mr. Poaleth - waite (ihrostle spinner) was called upon : to preside. The ,chairman, in the course of his observations, said that the money that was paid to them on Monday last could not possibly keep life in them for another week, the highest paid amongst them only got Is. 6d., somels„ and some only i9d. Ten per cent. of advance was•what 'they came out for, and he had no doubt whatever that the spinners and weavers wouldget it. Mr. Wallace Beevers said they had only to go on as they had done—keep the peace and behave them selves-:and they would have every influential gentleman coming to their assistance. Dinting the coming week there would be 20,000 or 30,000 more locked out in %;ari ous districts, but they were content to have nothing If Preston could only be kept. On Thursday a placard ap peared upon the walls, cautioning the public against giv ing money to aby person or persons whose collecting book did not bear the four stamps of the several committees. Another placard, issued by the overlookers' committee, solicited the aid of tale public for their support. SELECT VESTRY.—The Rev.

Since the last meeting a greater number of the boys had been ern ployed in Clogging.—The Medical Relief Committee re ported that a communication had been sent to the Home Secretary, praying him to order vessels arriving at Hull to ride quarantine there. A resolution had been passed refusing the proffered use of the hulks, on condition that the Vestry should be at the expense of fitting them up ; the grounds of refusal being that they could not be used for cholera cases, and that there was superior accommoda tion at the Workhouse. A communication was read from the General Board of Health, Whitehall, expressing the satisfaction of the Board with the judicious precautionary measures adopted by the Liverpool Medical Relief Com mittee, to meet the threatened invasion of cholera.—Mr. Bradley said he was happy to state that the health of the town was such that it enabled the committee to postpone any further arrangements, and their meetings also, for the next ten days.—Mr. Augustus Somers was appointed to the situation of district medical officer, vacant by the death of Mr. Cripps.—The proceedings were then con firmed.—On the motion of Mr. Shaw, Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Barwise were appointed assistant dispensers.—The appointment of Mr. Kelly, as dist ric t medical officer, in the place of Mr. Durban, deceased, was confirmed.

On Boyles demanding payment, a quarrel ensued, which led to a fight, and terminated in the death of Royles. Hughes was immediately taken into custoly, and he was yesterday brought up at the police-court, charged with the murder. The ease was not gone into at any'length, only one wit ness, a girl, being examined.

Tip AUSTRALIAN TRADR.—At present, there are mon vessels placed on the Australian berths than appear ne cessary for the demands of trade. Of passengers there are but few offering ; and freights are far from plentiful. The current rates are frem 70s. to 80s. for fine goods, per measurement, to either Sydney, Melbourne, or Geelong, and 100 s. to 110 s. to the wharfs of the two latter ports. To Adelaide, 70s. 755., and to Hobart Town and Launces ton, 70s. The rates by the steamers are about 100 s. per ton. There are now in the port of London 14 vessels loading for Adelaide, 4 for Geelong, 10 for Hobart Town, 3 for Launceston, 17 for Melbourne, 6 for New Zealand, 2 for Portland Bay, 20 for Port Philip, I. for Swan River, and 26 for Sydney ; making in all 103 vessels. There are also the Adelaide and the Crcesus steamers, the former bound to Adelaide, to sail on the 4th Nov., at noon, and the latter for Port Philip and Sydney, to sail early in December. At Liverpool there are now 6 vessels loading for Adelaide, 3 for f o r 9S for Geelong, _ Hobart Town, Melbourne, 1 for Portland Bay, 8 for Sydney—making in all 45 vessels ; besides the Golien Age steamer for Mel bourne and Sydney, to sail about the sth November. At Glasgow there are 2 vessels loading for Geelong, 13 for Melbourne, 1 for Port Phl4, and 5 for Sydney—making in aP 21 veF As. At Greenock there is one vessel loading. for Sydney. At Gra-ngemouth there is one vessel loading for Melbourne. At Southampton one vessel is loading for Port Philip, and two for_ Melbourne, besides the Ripon steamer for Port Philip and Sydney, to sail on the 4th November. At Bristol there is one vessel loading for Geelong, seven for Melbourne, and one for Sydney. At Hull one vessel is 'loading for Melbourne. It therefore appears that there arc at the present time, in all ports, no fewer than 187 sailing vessels and four steamers for the various Australian - colonies. FRAUD ox site COIIPOILLTION.—The magistrates at the police court on Saturday were engaged in investigating a charge of conspiracy to defraud the mayor and -corpora tion, brought against Mr. William Rowson, a cnntractor, and Mr. William Clarke, clerk of the works. Prom the evidence of Me. Weightman, surveyor for thecorporation, it appeared that the corporation began building the new gaol at Walton in 1849, and he at that time appointed the prisoner Clarke to undertake the superintendence of the bricks deavered, and it was his ditty to examine the bricks and to certify for the number delivered. He (Mr.Weight man), in `lB5l, entered into a verbal contract with Mr. Rowson;th supply bricks at prices ranging from 15s. to 275. 6d.• per 1000, according to the quality-of the bricks; and, according to the certificates signed -by Clarke, the number of bricks made up to the close Of' the season, on the 13th or 14th of September, 1851, was 6,150,230, and the nuMber of stools were stated to be blue.

On reaching the - police-office the chief constable despatched a message to Mr. N. Eckersley, the mayor, who arrived at the police office in a short time. Mr. Cook, draper, and Mr. Thomas Byrom, grocer, who are magistrates for th borough, were and a cc upon their arrival, which elided in the two latter going the Royal Hotel, with the view of advising the people upon the Royal Hotel was meditated, an( trates, believing no time should be lost, retur two magis- I to the mayor to concert measures of a more vigorous character. The mayor and his brother magistrates having assembled 24 special constables, and six of the regular police, they proceeded to the front of the Royal Hotel, where they found the rioters breaking the windows, and becoming more daring every moment. The greatest confusion pre- veiled. The mob seized stones, and, when they could not find these, laid hold of potatoes, turnips, and other vege tables from the market stalls, and hurled them at the win dows of the hotel. Mr. William Marshall, standing by the side of the mayor, in front of the hotel, was struck in the eye by one of these missiles, and another gentleman was hit behind the head. His worship gave one of the leading ruffians into custody, and four policemen proceeded with him towards the police-office, but he was rescued by the mob, The mayor had two of the regular police still by his side, but, alas ! for the specials —now, when they were first needed, it was discovered that they had " levanted." The rioters from this time had everything their own way. The mayor, finding himself wholly unsupported, hastily consulted his brother magistrates, went to the Electric Telegraph-office, at the North Union Railway station, and forwarded a message to Preston. 164- miles distant, for the aid of the military: He subseqUenily, at half-past eight o'clock, despatched a special engine to Preston, on which was Mr. J. L. Wright, with a written request for the mili tary. The barracks, however, are situate at Fulwood, 3f miles beyond Preston ; and as the soldiers had retired to bed when the message arrived, and as a consultation had to be held whether it was safe for the military to leave Preston, where hn outbreak was not improbable, much time was lost before the troops could be put in motion. During the scene of confusion in the Centre of the town, above described, the shopkeepers were seized with a panic, and most of them precipitately closed their establishments. After breaking the windows of the Royal Hotel, the riot ers, who now consisted of factory operatives and colliers, proceeded, at a little after eight o'clock, down Millgate,, destroying the windows of the police-station, extinguish ing the gas-lights in the streets, and breaking the lamps. They then returned, and went down Standishgate, com mitting similar acts of violence. The less daring in these unlawful proceedings cheered and encouraged those who most distinguished themselves. Many of them had sticks, as well as pockets full of stones, and others armed them selves with staves by destroying the frames of the stalls in the Market-place. About half-past eight o'clock they attacked the Moot-hall and the Town-hall, and broke a good deal of glass. They then proceeded down Wallgate, extinguishing the gas-lights, breaking many of the lamps entirely Off 'the posts, and hurling stones through every window where a light was visible. They broke the win dows of the Clarence Hotel, threw stones into the post office, destroying the glasscases and other property inside, and demolished the front of the Victoria Hotel. Having gone as far as the railway station in this direction, they returned about nine o'clock, and commenced a second attack on the Royal Hotel. This time they entered the house, tore down the curtains of windows and beds, smashed the pier and other glasses in the various parlours, the glass in the picture frames, took away some liquors from the bar, and 'finally attempted to set fire to the house. They entered the house in front, proceeded into the com mercial and other rooms, carried handsome pieces of fur niture out, anti threw them from the entrance of the house into the street, cutting open stuffed chairs, &e. At the rear of the house an attack was made upon the windows of the 'bar-room, kitchens, &c.. where they committed the greatest possible havoc upon the utensils. While here, it is stated that loud , cries were raised to 'blow up the house, and it is believed that, had opportu nity and means been at hand, this would have been done. themob next made another excursion down Wallgate, and, on reaching the opening opposite the Victoria Hotel, pro ceeded up to the house of Mr. James Taylor, of the firm of Taylor and Brother, cotton-spinners, a lofty, three-story building, which they attacked both back and front, demo. ashing the windows so entirely that on the following day many of them had to be boarded up, until new frames could be-made. There was a majority of factory lads and girls among the mob engaged in this attack, who screamed and appeared almost frantic with delight at the wickedness of their proceedings. An attack was made on the shop of Mr. Esplin, watchmaker and jeweller, and the shutters and windows were broken ; but just then a heavy railway train • crossed the • bridge over the street close by, and a false alarm that the soldiers were at hand from Preston being raised, a precipitate retreat was made: The mistake having been discovered, the Overseers'-offices, the offices of the Board of Health, - and other public buildings were attacked, and had their windows destroyed. A cry of "JOhnson" was here raised, and the mob rushed down Queen-street towards the house and mill of Mr. Johnson, cotton spinner, .Mr. Johnson and his family had barely time to effect a retreat through the garden when the ruf fians attacked his house, breaking open the windows and doors, and entering the drawing-room and parlours to destioy the furniture. A -valuable finger organ and a piano -forte, and some fine _engravings and paintings with their frames were'destroyed in a short time, and damage was ,committed to the amount of about £5OO. In the drawing--room they took the fire from the grate, and, placing it in the middle of the floor, heaped upon it table cloths,- furniture, umbrellas, and whatever articles of a .combustible nature came to hand, and so left the house to become a prey to the flames. On their retreat, however, Mr.. Johnson and his family reentered the house, and were in time to-counteract the design. _ Retracing their steps to the centre of the town, from Rbach they were now a mile distant, the rioters next, about ten or half-past ten o'clock, made a third attack upon the Royal Hotel. The masters had met here, and the fury of the Inohivas not so readily to be ,sated; so they now sur rounded the teuse, and attacked it back and front, broke more windows and more furniture, and again proposed to burn it, but without putting the threat into execution. Subsequently two shops, situate in ...distant parts of the borough from each other, were entered and sacked of their contents. One .of these was the shop of Mr. John Liptrot, of Wigan=lane, provision-dealer, and the other that of Mr. Isaac Wright,_ provision-dealer, Darlhigton-street. These persons are supposed to have been singled out for ven geance, because they had refused to contribute to the funds of the tarn-outs. •An attack was made upon the shop of Mr. Collinson, pawnbroker, Standishgate, and property to the value of £s',,or R 6 was taken. Mr.•Ooilinson, however got rid of the rioters by paying to their leader not to destroy his stock sovereign After the bcrough Inal been thus given np-a prey to riot tamd the, most wanton -14olence, generally directed to the pmperty of all persons, without distinction, for many hours, at length came the military. They arrived at the railway-station at , half-past eleven o'clock at night, con .sisting of 150 rank and . file of the 34th Infantry, under the command of Captain J. Wilt. The Mayor and some of • the magistrates placed themselves at the head -of the soldiers, and went through the town, but only came up with an insignificant party of stragglers from the rioters, seizing from among them Ave youths (mostly Irish) who had evidently .taken part in plundering the provision dealers,- the pockets of the prisoners being stuffed with tea, sugar, rice, tobacco, and biscuits. The prisoners were lodgedin the lockups, and the town gradually assumed a state of quietnde, while the soldiers took up their quarters at the Victoria Hotel and at the Moot-ball. On Saturday all was quiet up to a late hour in the even ing. The magistrates were assembled during the greater part of the day concerting measures to prevent a renewal of di s t u rbances, and issued a , notice warning every person to leave the streets after nightfall, .on pain of ren dering themselves liable to apprehension. The fair con tinued, and the town was much crowded with strangers, many of whom looked with wonder, and some, it was thought, with satisfaction,on the evidences of mischief dis cernible as having been committed on the previous evening. LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT,--. YESTERDAY. (Before JOSEPH POLLOCK, Esq., the Judge.) The court sat at eleven o'clock. The first case called was that of CHOPS AND COMERS V. JONES. —This case, which stood over from Wednesday last, was one of "dem urra g e, " in which the plaintiffs, Messrs. Chope and Co., merchants, Bristol, sought to obtain possession of certain goods from the defendant, Evan Jones, master of the b r i g Eigen, which goods he retains till certain alleged claims for de murrage have been paid. Provision for such charg . es, it appears, had been made in the charter, but no allusion is made to them in the bill of lading. The real question at issue, therefore, was, as to whether the defendant Jones was entitled to a lien on the goods or not. The case was set down for hearing at eleven o'clock, and Mr. Aspinal was present for the defendant, but no one appeared for the plaintiffs; under these circumstances the court delayed proceeding till twelve o'clock, at which time there being still no appearance for the plaintiffs, his Honour directed the case to stand over till the court meets again. --Mr. .Aspinal made an application relative to the p resen t costs, consideration of which was also ordered to stand over His Honour then proceeded to hear some few continued cases, none of which were possessed of general interest next. At the conclusion the court adjourned till Monday as th ice fell The Or •sonaily given the " Ail a d e evening which we regret to s 11 was scarcely a third part oc,cl ►tent themselves 'it audience let a litory c a," whict encomiums bestowed on them by metropolit Mrs. Alexander Newton, the vocalist of the had previously appeared before a Liverpool e poet s tey had at 3 the eO/1 evening ;nary to say more than that she is a hi singer. combining with her musics s of demeanour which renders her a ge: favourite; this was shown by the spontaniety of appl and the warmth of the encores she elicited, tributes dered scarcely less to her winning manner than ta Dowers of vocal execution.

The second part of the concert v •em of choice, and admirably displayed. rked by exquisite tenderness and ap propriateness of expression, the sentiment of the music being brought out in charming relief. A prominent and delightful feature of the part, and indeed of the evening's performance, was the " Solo Concerto" on the violin, by Mr. H. C. Cooper, a native artist of rare excellence. His bowing and fingering are of the most finished delicacy, his Its op, symphony was tone and expression charming, and his execution of even the most difficult passages is distinct and marked by fine taste, and a certainty of delivery ; this latter quality was beautifully evinced in his transitions from silver-toned harmonics of ravishing sweetness to the lowest notes of his instrument. The flute fantasia, by Mr. R. S. Pratten, rave nleasinz evidence of his studied skill in stopping, and of his fine embouchure—why, however, should NV e particu larize where all was excellent? The combined instrumenta tion was as perfect in its unity of effect, as if it had been but the sound of one instrument, while the richness and variety of its harmony were full and flowing. As a con ductor, Mr. Alfred Mellon displayed much talent and musical science • and the whole concert was a treat of such sweetness and beauty, that we hope at no distant day the members of the London Orchestral Union will be induced again to visit Liverpool, to meet with, we trust, a larger audience and a more gratifying welcome than has been accorded to them on this their first appearance anion.. us. TIMITRE RorAL.—During the past week the aards of this theatre have been graced by the performances of Mr. G. V. Brooke, a gentleman, who, as a tragedian, hav ing acquired a respectable status in this country, made a professional trip to America, where he met with a most favourable recognition of his talents ; and whence he has returned, with a reputation which, like the " tide in the affairs of men," by him " taken at the flood," has led " on to fortune," or at all events, to the means of achieving it. Since his re-appearance in London, his performances have been greeted with a manifestation of favour rarely accorded to even the highest merit, and, till his time, hardly even realized by brilliant genius. In the course of the past week he has appeared as Master Walter in the " Hunchback"; as Viriiitius, in the tragedy of that name ; as Claude Melnotte, in the " Lady of Lyons;" as Hamlet ; and as Sir Giles Overreach. It is but fair to admit we have not seen his performance of all those characters; still we have seen enough of him in several of them, to transatlantic journey—that" While he is an actor with many excellencies, he is deficient in many qualities, indispensable to a tragedian of the first rank. He is an extreme actor — one who seems resolved to play a conspicuous part in every situation—unable, or unwilling, to lose the slightest oppor tunity of creating a sensation—hence his acting is defec tive in that light and shade, in those contrasted effects, which give truthfulness of character, while they stamp the impress of intellectual excellence upon dramatic represen• tation. As a practical illustration, we may instance hi delineation of the character of Claude Melnotte whei first introduced, the hero of the play, has achieved, what after all, is but an ordinary affair—the attainment of a trivial prize, in some rural competition. This common place success, in the estimation of Mr. Brooke, seems to warrant the simple-minded though aspiring peasant to swagger into his mother's cottage with all the ostentation and parade of a thorough-paced melo-dramatic hero. This, it may be averred, is but a trifling fault, and we admit that taken per se it is so; but remembering the adage e.v uno ,lisce onznes, it assumes a more imposing aspect. Yet in many other points of the character he manifested very considerable discrimination, and an amount of pas sionate earnestness and expression not lightly to be esti mated. In the scenes where he figures as a prince he was peculiarly happy—easy, composed, and gentlemanly—qua lities he must be admitted to possess—and frequently dis plays in very fair degree ; the drawback to his complete success being a perpetual and restless straining after effect. Could he cure himself of this habit, think less of his own appearance, and more of the character he is enacting, his impersonations would be more pleasing as well as more generally interesting. His elocution is effective, and although marred to some extent by the habit to which we have referred, it is on the whole good. In all the cha racters we have seen him act, he has displayed numerous excellences, yet none of them have been free from the faults alluded to. The performances of Miss Cathcart, along with Mr. Brooke, have been generally pleasing and natural ; her Ophelia was in all respects a highly credit able performance. Similar commendation is also due to Mr. Lorraine ; his represention of the Ghost in " Hamlet," although a little whining in the elocution, was neverthe less a piece of good acting. We perceive that Mr. Brooke is engaged to appear at the Royal Amphitheatre, and will perform there every evening this week. An operatic com pany, concerning whom fame speaks favourably, com menced an engagement at the Theatre Royal last night, and during their stay will perform a series of the le-ailing Italian and. German operas. THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE has been enjoying a sort of saturnalia during the benefits. •As those performances are not unfrequently addressed more to the private friends of the benefit recipients than to the general public, remark on them is little called for, unless, indeed, we were to wit ness an attempt at trangressing the bounds which are understood to circumscribe a place of public amusement and resort. THE MAIL STEA.MER AMERICA, Captain Shannon, sailed from the Mersey, on Saturday, for Halifax and Bos ton, with the usual mails and 150 passengers.

Wlsrs LANDS.- - The commissioners for the district of West •Derby *held their annual meeting on Monday last wok, at the office of the county Magistrates, in Clayton square. The chair was occupied by Mr. T. Littledale. From the report it appeared that there was an amount of £490 in the hands of the commissioners. Grants were made in aid of the public schools within the district, and also for the improvement of roads. SOUTH AII...nRICAINT AND GENERAL STEAM COMPANY. — The Lusitania, the third vessel built for this company by Mr. Laird, is now ready for sea, baring had steam up and the engines at work in dock. It is expected that she will make a trial trip in the course of this week. The Lusi tania is a sister ship in model to the Brazileira, that has, on her first trip, made the q uickest passage on record to the Brazils ; and there is reason to expect that the Lusi tania will equal, if not surpass, her consort in speed.

It appears that the father, about five, rose to go to his work, leaving the deceased and another child, two years old, in bed with their mother, who took deceased close to her side and fell asleep. Ou waking about half-past seven she found deceased still quite close to her, but very cold. On further examination the child was found to be dead, the appearances leaving no room for doubt that it had been suffocated. COURT OF PASSAGE.—At the conclusion of the business on Saturday, as the Assessor was about to retire, the little monomaniac, the Miss Flite of the Liverpool law courts, entered the witness-box, and, addressing his Hononr in a shrill, cracked voice, said : "I hope you will go to York assizes, and tell all the other gentlemen to get done with their business. It's now twenty-seven years since I began to fi ght for my rights. I think it is a long, long time. It is • t w enty-three years, come midsummer, since possession was to be delivered up to me by the law of the land, and I should like every man to clear his conscience." Having delivered herself of her customary address, she bowed to the Msossor, and bustled out of court.

NEW CIIITECH AT TRANMEI tifying signs of the times is the increased a..„ tible in providing additional schools for the instruc, the ignorant, more houses of refuge for the destitute, an enlarged extension of spiritual ministration. AnotL encouraging instance of the good spirit now at work, is ity pprcer hibited in the commendable efforts whit \of Tranme the kind al Cheshire e making, (chiefly ta,rden, the respected supply nd, nearly theArl whom we and its Vicinity gency of County C of the industrious el 1 very poor, there is at present on) for less than six hundred, and p-actiL sittings. The promoters of the new CI. pose to provide additional means of attending upon the services of the sanctuary, but they have resolved that the ministrations of the Gospel shall be enjoyed - " without money and without price." St. Paul's, Tranmere, is to be exempt from the charge of pew rents--that modern method of excluding the poor from God's "house of prayer for all people." It is impossible for any devout Churchman to at tend the services at Birkenhead, and, in too many cases, at Liverpool, where for the most part Churches are built as a commercial speculation and pews are let at high rates„ without being pained at the almost total absence of the working classess, or if a few stragglers are visible, they ar huddled into distant corners, or placed on seats where t' word " free" ostentatiously painted on the panels, sc: - ._ imply that they are there by favour, or as objects of charity . and not by right upon the principle of common worship which the Scriptures so b eau tif u ll y i ndicate-- " There the rich and the poor meet together, the Lord is the maker of them all." By the proposal under notice, this scandal will be avoided; an adequate endowment for the minister is to be provided, and the seats are to be all free ; there is to be Christian equality and f ra t ern i ty, a bond of holy brother hoodpri j a p n i e s d unity nin whichth ere' in conformity w ith the original the Church of England is established, and which earned for it, in less selfish and speculative days, the endearing appellation of " the poor man's Church." And surely it is most important, in times like these, that the poor and less informed classes should be brought under the teaching, hallowing, and comforting influences of the Divine precepts and promises, both in public ministrations and private visiting, with a frequency, we may ,almost say a constancy, which no other institution but a Church thus established can supply. Look at the numerous parish churches scattered over the fair face of the country, scarcely a village, from amongst whose trees you do not behold that beautiful and heart-cheering sight, the "heaven-directed " See those churches thronged on the Sunda Y rest discriptii y Church a.ccommkSti urch not on with labour( been trained in the ?f the ix Sunday who have School. _...„, and prep, minister for Confirma, i .or the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper ; and - wl. ), t. ing their whole lives, remain under his plain and affec tionate instruction, seated on the same benches on which their fathers and grandfathers have sat and heard the word of life; and yet, with the exception of the trifling fees for the occasional offices of the church, which occur but rarely in the life of any individual, not one farthing have the occupants of those benches from genera generation ever contributed, or been expected t,, tribute, towards the maintenanc e o f th e church, or ti support of the minister.

It is desirable the ground should be ra ther drier before planting the tulip beds. KITCHEN GinDEN.—Get up and store beet roots, par snips, salsafy, and scorzenera for winter use. In the Chemical Gazette, the eminent chemist, Mr. Herapath, has the following suggestions for preserving potatoes : Let the tubers be stored in the usual way, but in the centre of each heap or sackful let there be placed a quan tity of unslaked lime, not in actual contact with the roots but enclosed in some porous vessel—on old wicker basket, for instance,--and covered over with, and surrounded by, a thick layer of straw or hay. By these means the tubers will be kept dry ; and as the presence of humidity in the air is a great incentive to putrefactive decomposition, one of the main causes of decay will be removed.- The lime, so soon as it has become slaked, may be taken away, a n d employed as manure; and, if practicable, should be re. placed with fresh lime. The experiment I have described, it must be remembered, can be easily tried, and w ou ld cost but little even if carried out on a large scale ; it can not be productive of any injurious consequences, and Will b e doubtless attended with beneficial results. up before the county —9-unradnerledyn( ileesdall, (Connaught; corpo ers omfevarieleyuctlyphassa B lITAL ASSAULT BY SOLDIER Re s. gi en co Flah ß e ral rti r an i n d dew a D p ea ri t ia tin t n e ,nwed of ere t i h n e broA BB au t hg h tehta magistrates, having been remanded from the pr ev i ous ultin g a trial i --Lie Prisoners and a number of civilians were at the Heroe s of Waterloo n c o a u m r e t d public-house, near the Barrack +— da 6 v fley on , a tailor of p. : -; a discussion arose as to the relative merits of the militia and the "regulars," when one of the civilians said " the emilitia were as good as the others."
