A reservoir,. 9 0 feet by 30 feet, and :2 feet deep, is in the course of construction to receive the water brought from a sprin g a t i L o ddingt'on. The Dien bad completed two arches of ,Hi feet span over the top, ,supported in the middle by a centre arched wall. Several 02, them had gone below for the pa t tse of cementing the skies, when the fo reman discovered a sinking, and gave instant alarm, when every ,one :from below hastened through the trap-door, by . which - t h e y descended. The last man had just got „through when the arch gave way with a tremendous crash, and no .lees than 8,000 bricks, besides 100 tons of earth, fell in.—Nuidstone Journal. • SINGULAR ACCIDEXT,T.-0 11 Swishy the wife of Mr. South, farmer, of Messing, was ;returning from church with - her family, whe4, ne ar th e _pason age farm, their horse,was suddenly a tt ac k ed .by ,a-ew,arm of wasps, which so irritated the animal that he,ran away.

TIIE MU/ME& OF ELIZA. ag i3l ivockl4 which occurred in May, 1838, and of which the perpetrator has never been discovered, placed another supposed criminal at the bar of the Southwark Police Court on Monday week. It turned out that a ,poor bootmaker, tanned Peter Lamisclial, Is Daneby birel„hut long resident in London, had quarrel led with a woman with whom he had ,eohabited, and, while drunk, lad threatened, as she deposed, to " serve her as he had served Eliza Grimweod." Being sober and frightened in court, he endeavoured to explain his words into another meaning, declaring that he 'lead merely threatened to serve his female ' friend" as Eliza Grim wood was served. The prisoner was young still, so that he could have been lout barely eighteen at the time when the murder was committed, and there was no:ovidence to associate him with the crime, except the casual expression already mentioned, helped out by a new statement, wolun teered by the woman Jennings from the witness4boT., that "he was always talking about it in his dreams*: The magistrate, however, thought the Case sufficiently -su.vici (cius to warrant his sending the Dane to prison, on remand, ;in order to give time for further inquiries. Re was brought up again on Thursday and discharged. • FALL OF A HOUSE IN THE STRA.ND.—A most alarming accident happened shortly after 8 o'clock - On Thursday rimming, _by the falling of a four-story house in the OeCupa tion.of _Mr. Thompson, situatein the Strand, 'at the north west angle of .Arundel-street, London, by which three of - the inmates—consisting of Mr. And Mrs. Thompson, and a young wan, their shopman—lost th e i r li ves . Th e building has long 'been in a tottering condition; through the pull ing down of the adjoining premises, or the site of which the ground was being excavated, preparatory to erecting some large building. The excavators, lit is supposed, partly undermined the gable end wall of Mr. Thompson's pre mises. To that cause is the accident attributed. Mr. Thompson, with his shopman, were' engaged in the shop at the time; and without the least warning the walls were seen by the passers by to collapse, and, with the roof, fall inwards, with a Imd crash. It was nearly three hours before the sufferers were got out ; they were shockingly mutilated, and seemed to have been crushed to death. The servant girl had gone into the cellar under the pave ment, when the next moment the house fell in, but the arching of the cellar preserved her life; she was extricated in the course of an hour, and was found not the least in jured. Part of the gable end wall fell outwards upon some labourers engaged in the excavations adjoining the build ing, and one named Roe had both thighs broken, besides other injuries. TREASURES or NATURE.—II has been well remarked, that there is not an imperfection that flesh is heir to, for which a remedy is not at hand, to discover which we have only to search the vast laboratory of Nature. A more apt illustra tion can scarcely be offered, than in the application of a natural production, of American growth, namely the BALM OF COLUMBIA, in cases where the human head has beer, deprived of its, becoming and natural ornament. As a pro moter of growth, strengthener and restorer of the Hair, C. and A. Otnainou's BALM OF COLUMBIA, is unrivalled, and - in cases of baldness its virtues are inestimable. The further advantages of th e Balm may b e sum med up in its freeing the hair from scurf, producing a beautiful curl, e to the nurser pre serving it from pre ma t ure greyn ss and its excellent adapta tionclimate destroys its efficacy, and it has proved a mos t valuable article of trading speculation.

Mr. BRADLEY moved that the matter be again referred to the Finance Committee, and, on the vote being taken, the amendment was lost by 33 to 14. The purchase from Mr. Swarbrick was sanctioned by the Council. It was understood that all the recommendations, except those relating to Messrs. Brade and Kaye, were to stand over for a month, according to standing orders. Ultimately, Ater some discussion, the recommendations were confirmed.

TOWN IrtIPROVEMENT4S.—The Improvement Committee recorded recommendations to apply to Parliament for powers to widen Hatton-garden ; to make a new street from North John-street to the front of St. Georges-'hall, and to nrake the high level alteration o f Shawls-brow, shown by 'the plan proposed by the surveyor, and referred to in the report of the Improvement Committee of the 30th September, 1852. In consideration, however, of the urgent recommendation from the committee appointed at the recent town's meeting to postpone the consideration of the new street, it was agreed to reconsider the improve ment question at a special meeting in a fortnight It was elicited that the cost .of the proposed new -street would be £235,700. The proceedings of the Markets, Education, Gaol :and House •of Correction, and Town-hill Establish ment'Committees were then confirmed. FITAVIII COMMITTEE : MR. LAN GSDAVE AND MR.

The -resolution of confidence in Mr. Langsdale also formed aTortion of the proceedings. `The proceedings having been read, 31r. DOVER, deputy-chairman of the Health Committee, said,. when I came into this room I was - prepared to ex pect, on the part of several gentlemen who have unfortu nately mixed themselves up with events of the last tkrancil, certain concessions ; but I find tiatt no proceed ings of the kind have taken place, and I am almost tempted to go somewhat out of my way, 'because I am ,commissioned by a gentleman, who is nowabsent (allud ing to Mr. Langsdalem owing to family afiliCtions. lam - - prepared to make an admission and a' concesion, though -bat g entleman, gaps, in order, was not the first to ,effend, he is not uuwaTaing to be the first to eaologise.

I think, as Mr. Dover is now prepared, on the part of Mr. Langsdale, Ito withdraw an expression made use , of by Mr. Langsdale, which was not justified, whether calied for or not, by the words which fell from Mr. Fer iiihengh, it is not necessary for me to give 73-I. opinion ; but I am satisfied of 'this, from what has -occurred be tween Mr. Fernillough and myself, that if ..Mr. Langs- Ilkleiis prepared to withdraw that expression, I am sure Mr.vFernihough, in a spirit of generosity, 'and for the purpose of relieving this !Council and myself feem an. un pleasant situation, and one which causes me-very deep regret,—l am sore Mr. Fernihough will, in oche same spirit, respond and express likewise his regret that any thing: of the sort shouldianniiltingly, and in tatc beat of argument, have taken place.

Mr. HENDEaSON moved, as an amendment, that the salary be increased by £3OO, making it £l,OOO a-year. After avod deal ordiscussion, the antendmentwas carried by 24 ts;2o. The increase of Mr. Davies's salary was sanctioned wtth out opposition. Mr..DovEn observed that he never felt himself placcl in a more difficult situation..

Tns MAYOR. — When I saw that resolution of the com mittee, it Ivas clear to my mind that the Health Committee were unquestionably departing from the usual course. It is not usual for any committee to refer to what has taken place in.the Council, and this resolution would amount to nothing, without it was confirmed by the Council. I think the mistake has been here. If the gentlemen form ing the Health Committee, in their individual capacity, had expressed their opinion of Mr. Alderman Langsdale's character, and had chosen to send it to him, it would h ave been perfectly tly right; but I think it would be introducing a precedent extremely dangerous for any committee to put resolutions upon their proceedings which came after wards to be discussed by the Council. I was, therefore, exceedingly desirous for the Health Committee to have expunged that resolution, and I now sugg est, and ask members of the Health Committee to consent to its with drawal from their proceedings, and thus remove what I believe to be the bar to Mr. Fernihough makin make apo. logy which he authorised me to say he would if it was removed. After a discussion, in which Mr. Beckwith, Mr. Bigham, Mr. Holt, Mr. Picton, and Mr. Gladstone took part, The MAYOR, took the votes on the motion of Mr. Hornby, that the proceedings of the committee be con firmed, with the exception of the resolution in regard t o the chairman. The motion was carried by 25 to 13. Mr. FERNIROUGII then rose.—l congratulate this Council (he said) upon the firmness they have shown in preventing a precedent being established, that I believe would be fraught with the most serious • future conduct and character of the Council. 11th That to I have e been the instrument of that firmness being maid, • ed, is to me one of the most painful circumstances that ever Occurred3A T ll 7 ; and had this censure been a matter STRANGE FISIT Ling in t uncouth monsters of the deep known amongst stu a " devil-fish," which strove hard to appease its hunger by a tit-bit from the lad's bare legs.

After speaking of Mr. Lister fts a valuable °Meer, he added that, before the new hospital could be made efficient, - it would require a better staff of officers than they had .at• present. He would suggest -.whether, supposing they could arrange with Mr. Lister to.obtain a qualified assistant, who should act as surgeon, and be master of the house, say at a salary of £3oper.annum with rations, that would meet the object the board had in view. After some discussion, Mr. Lister was called in, and said it was probable he could get such a man for £4O or 440 per annum with rations ; and he added that, if he relieved him, he had no objection to allow him something out ,of his own salary. A committee was then appointed to re port upon the subject to the next meeting.—Mr. Brawn, the government inspector of schools, attended the board, and stated the result of an examination of the three schools attached to the Workhouse. The infant school was in a very satisfactory state, and ,ereditable to the teachers; but the boys and girls' schools were not equally so. There was one point to which he wished to call attention, and which he regretted to have to remark upon, and that was the large number of children who absconded, amongst them some of the pupil teachers: He suggested that West Derby should erect a similar establishment to the Kirkdale Industrial Schools, but the proposition was not enter tained.—The office recently held 'by Mr. Stanfield Deane, as medical officer, having become vacant, it was agreed that the necessary steps be taken to appoint a successor. —The contracts for provisions, &c.„ for the workhouse and hospital, being about to expire, the clerk was instructed to issue the usual advertisements for fresh tenders. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— On Friday, at the Police Court, Agnes Morris, a respectably dressed woman, was charged with picking a lady's pocket, in Bold-street, on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Theresa Rebecca Smith, from Stoke, Staffordshire, who is staying at Seaeombe, stated that, in company with two other ladies, she was looking in at a shop window, in Bold-street, when she felt some one pull her shawl. She turned round and saw the prisoner standing beside her, and immediately missed her purse, which contained £1 12s. Bd. She felt so satisfied the prisoner was the person who had robbed her, that, along with her friends, she followed her through the Arcade into Renshaw-street, where the latter went into a shop. On her coming out again, Mrs. Smith taxed Morris with having her purse, whi c h the latter, who was much excited, admitted, and gave it up. Mrs. Smith, at the earnest appeal of the prisoner, was inclined to let her go, but her friends called a policeman and she was given into custody. Mrs. Smith, in reply to the mag is trates, said the money appeared to h ave b een disturbed, as a sovereign was taken out of one end and put among the silver. The prisoner acknowledged the crime, but said it was her first offence, and begged hard for mercy. She stated that she followed the business of an embroides,at St. Alban's, and had only come to town th e (lay before,mving been induced to accompany a gentleman, who n, had since de serted her. Not having any resources to get back l again, she had been tempted to commit the crime. magis trate said he saw no reason to doubt her story, but r disgraceful position had arisen through her having trans gressed in the first instance, and she must go to for two months. The prisoner was removed, sobbingp on bitterly. She was evidently a novice, from the clumsy manner in which she had performed the theft. IKON tIGHTIIOUSE.-A new cast-iron lighthouse, in tended for the Falkland Islands, has just been completed by Messrs. H. and M. 3). .Grisfell, of London. These gentlemen have recently executed a similar lighthouse for )3ermuda. The total height of the tower is 67 feet, and its weight, including_that of the ,lantern, nearly 50 tons. .CoLirsion.—On Monday evening Hli. steamer Rha damanthus came into collision, off Plymouth, with a large passenger vessel, supposed to be an American liner. The Ithada3nanthus struck the merchantman obliquely about the mizen chains, her bowsprit graziug the whole length of her side. The vessel, however, appeared to have sus tained little damage, for she continued her course, al though ;the steamer followed her for an hour and a half, firing guns and signal lights. POOR NEDLEWOMEN. — A large number of sempstresses employed at the most inferior description of under cloth ing have at length refused to work for the miserable pit tance doled out to them ; female waistcoat makers, and those employed in slop clothing, have also turned out for an advance of wages ; and the tailors, cap makers, and others employed in the large exporting houses, have made a demand for an increase of pay, alleging that the advance that has taken place in the prices of bread, meat, coals, and other necessaries requires that a proportionate ad- vance should be made in their pay. CHOLERA. AT NEWCASTLE.—Between twenty and thirty cases of Asiatic cholera have occurred in Newcastle and the immediate neighbourhood within the last few days, all terminating fatally. It appears to have broken out at a place called Bill Quay, on the smith bank of the Tyne, towards Shields, the first case reported being that of a woman residing there, who was seized on Thursday week, and died the day following, shortly after she had been brought to Newcastle. Since then five more cases have occurred at Bill Quay. Diarrhoea is very prevalent in the district. POSTAGE STAMPS.—There is a provision in the new Stamp Act (16th and 17th Viet. , cap. 59) which will take effect from the 10th of next month, envelo to fatate the pur chase of postage stamps or stampedenvelopes without a license. It is provided by the 15th section that the Post master-General, in writing, may authorise and appoint any person in the service of the Post-office to sell postage stamps at any particular house or place to be specified for that purpose ; and also any messenger or other person employed in the delivery of letters sent ty post to carry about for sale and to sell at any place postage stamps ; and all such persons shall during the period that such authority and appointment shall remain unrevoked, without any license, be at liberty to sell at any house or place specified, or, if authorised, to carry about postage stamps, and shall not be liable to any penalty or forfeiture. right to express my c Mr. Glad would hrt Mayor) a word or words and high -posit Thich v t with the d .ght to hold words ?ell i one who has on every occasion, wh ,ddress the Council, endeav, has taken the lil to do so in language not unworthy of a gentleman to move the adjournment of the ( The MAYOR havir cheering of the Council, from a char vindicated himself mids partiality Council journed to Wedne LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Besides the stock of horses, horned cattle, sheep, and pigs, there was also an extensive collection of poultry, which attracted ;xcitecl great interest among the spectators, particularly the raffles. The agricultural produce, seeds and vegetables, were likewise favoura bly looked on, and met with much commendation. In connexion with these latter classes of entries, we under stand that Messrs. Dickson and. Co., seedsinen, of Man chester and Chester, forwarded a collection of choice seeds for exhibition, which were entered at page 4 of the catalogue; but, in consequence of some Misarrangement on the part of the railway company, the seeds were not 1.1-n frur pybibition. in compliance with the regulations and they were therefore with held from the show. 'The implements were numerous and well arranged for display; and conspicuous among them were many excellent specimens, the manufacture or inven tion of individuals or firms immediately, or almost imme- diately connected with Liverpool. A lift-pump, or liquid manure spreader, manufactured by Messrs. Forshaw and Co., of Liverpool, attracted much attention, on account of its efficacy, and the ease with which it can be worked. In addition to its capabilities as a liquid manure spreader, it _ engine ; two men being able to project a powerful stream of water, by its agency, to a distance of about seventy feet. The feed-pipe of this apparatus is of corrugated gutta percha, and is said to possess peculiar advantages of an important kind. This lift-pump seems also suited for use in cases of fire on ship-board. The same gentlemen ex- ley recom- pest sow or the sr e two. It —lst (disputed), : application L.

Among them were beautiful re presentatives of the Dorking ; black, and silver Spanish ; Bolton grays ; Bantams of much beauty of symmetry and plumage; and Cochin. Chinas were also in great force, and of various degrees of excellence. There was likewise a choice collection of geese and ducks, of different kinds. The entries for exhibition amounted to 545, and the specimens were forwarded by 135 exhibitors. The stock consisted of 245 animals, of which 51 were horned cattle, 87 were horses, 57 were sheep, and 50 were pigs. Of the latter class of animals there were some admirable speci mens, both as regards symmetry and fat. The horses were generally good and received deserved commendation.

Still, ho wever, the 70 practically were as light as a feather when compared with t h e feel s ings which they represented, because the t est i monial ..., .garaed as a proof of the confidence they had m Mr. Williams as one of their ministers.

These things rendered the life and duties of a Christian minister great and solemn. And what, under these circumstances, was the great encouragement which a clergyman received ? It was not in the amount of his income. Neither did it consist in the acceptable sermons which he might preach, but it arose from a feeling that h e had a hold upon the hearts of his congregation—that they were cordially labouring with him in the great object of his mission i and he had no doubt that Mr. Williams would regard this testimonial as a mark of the sympathy of the congregation with his labours amongst them as a After seine further complimentary remarl,. minister on Mr. Williams, the reverend gentleman concluded 1 presenting him with the testimonial.
