Le' Vest rkrby Workhouse, upers in that establishment, ;t week 352, this week 295 corresponding were 1 of £95 weredr Cheques to the amount for the relief of out-door paupers. A. letter was read•from the Health Committee, in reply to one from the Board, in reference to,the state of the houses in 4 Court, Fisher-court. This letter stated that the place had been inspected at the end of May last, and the interior the owners. Since the Commit - 0e had received the from the Board another ingpection took place, and the read from the Health Committee, containing a copy of a portion of theyedical Officer of Irealt i h's report, relative to the death of a child, named Bernard Carver, from small pox, in 5 Court, Hughes-street. The report rtated that the child's life was sacrificed to the new economic mode of relief. The report was published in our columns last week. Mr. Williams, relieving officer, was called, and'he stated that he saw the ease reported in the papers last week, and he looked over the books am found no such :name• there. He remembered a , woman coming to him and asking fot relief. He asked her if she was married, and she• said abc was'; he asked where her husband was, and she said he was working. He then told her that she should not ask for relief- when her husband , was workim.r. and on that RI-. application. He had gone down to the Coroner's Court on Wednesday, and after the depositions had been taken both . muLIC LAU lIILLUe we report to tne medical officer of health, and the case had been attended by that gentleman himself. When he went to make inquiry, the woman told him that the child had been attended properly. That was the second report that , Dr. Whittle had made.: • Mr. WILSON asked if Mr. Williams knew if there was any difficulty in getting medial attendance from the medi- cal officers. Mr. WILLIAMS replied that there was no difficulty whatever, and even in urgent cases they attended without an order form, and waited till next day to have it filled up. Mr. WILSON said he thought such a letter from the Health Committee was very uneourteous and unbecoming, as it was well known to the board th a t' th e i r medical officers were ready, day or night, to do their duty. He thought it was very wrong for the Health Committee to make use of the words " economic system of relief," for, from the very first of the small medical reform which they had effected, never one word was said about relieving on an economical principle. He had always said th a t their object was to get the poor better attended,„ as there had been several com plaints of the medical gentlemen allowing their apprentices to do the work that they should have done themselves. He was proud to say that they had got two such medical men, and up to that moment there never had been a complaint against one of them. Then, to have received sitch a letter as the one they had receive& and that followed up by re - marks in some of the Papers, was too bad. He then,read a paragraph from the Courier of Saturday last, which charged them with manslaughter, in iidglecting the case in questiou. The CHAinmm4 said the Health Committee had made no charge whatever. . Mr. Moss said he agreed, to a gTeat extent, with the re marks made Mr.' Wilson; buf still he could not see how there was to be anything laid to . the charge of the Health Committee. =. They had received the rnnnr+ from n,. , Wh;+_ .w„ twuj uty ovuu rsuuu a, uutannem as tney had sent, t make the, board acquainted with the matter. He thought Dr. Whittle was too much of a gentleman to endeavour to stigmatise the board in consequence of having lost the situation of medical officer. He knew that their present medical men were indefatigable. ~ Mr. WiLsaw.moved that Mr. Williams should draw up a full statement of the case, with depositions before the coro ner, to be presented next week. This motion was agreed to. The proceedings Of the he motion of the Chairman, seconded by and confirmed, on t Mr. Johns.

SERIOUS CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSIS PRETENCES.--A young man, .of highly respectable appear ance, attired in a full-dress suit of black, named William .bliss, appeared in the dock, charged 'with fraudulently ob taining the sum of £2o,under the following cireumstances It appeared that in June last, the prisoner - representing. him self to be a clerk of Messrs. Bonk,' English and Go., at a salary of £250 per annum, called upon Messrs. Hartog, part owners of the ship Jason, and stated, that ho could obtain a good freight for the ship. On the representation of the prisoner that he was in the employ of Messrs. Boult, Eng lish, and Co., the prosecutors were induced to entertain his offer, and ultimately he obtained, £2O from them, by stating that it was for the purpose of paying for the insurance of the freight, amounting to L 500., The prisoner further, re presented that he had paid certain sums of money an account of the freight, in telegrams. It was subsequently discovered that the freight had only been insured to the ex tent of £2OO, for which £6 16s. only was paid, and that the amount which the prisoner alleged had been disbursed in telegrams had not been expended., It was further disco vered that the prisoner's representation that he was in the -employ of Messrs. Boult, English, and Co., was alto , gether false ; and these several facts . having come to the knowledge of the prosecutor, the prisoner was appre .hended by Inspector Horn, of the •dotective force. In his the prisoner he first stated to him that the freight was in sured for £5OO, and afterwards he said that it was not, and that he told Mr. Hartog, jun.; to make an advance of the higher sum of £2O in order to repay himself (Mr. liartog) part of a sum of money which he had advanced to the prisoner on a former occasion. Mr. Hartog, jun. was examined, and said his father was part owner of the Jason. He deposed to advancing the prisoner the sum of £2O for insurance of for £5OO, under the circumstances before detailed. xamination by Mr. Cobb, who appeared for the In cross- an oft of th Mr. LITTLEDALI isance in George - ere terribly annoyed ;ha gin in'Georges.

THE DEFENSIVE STATE OF THE MERSEY Mr, HUBBACK gave a notice of motion that he would call the attention of the Board to the , defensive state of the port, and to move for a committee , to confer with the. Go vernment on the. subject. About a i month ago he calla at tention to the subject, and the chairman was then to, com municate with the mayor on the. subject ; but he had not heard anything more of it. The eIiAIiMAN said he had communicated with the Mayor ; but he had been in London since, on business con nected with the estate. The. Mayor's opinion appeared to be this—that he ought to goto Government, as the organ of the mercantile interests, and on behalf of the inhabitants generally. The different mercantile bodies of the port who were primarily interested, he thought, ought to move in the matter. They were the owners of the property, and the owners of shipping ; and the Mayor seemed to think, and he (the Chairman) could no t hel p agreeing, with him, that if the owners of property did not move, the publiebodies should not go to Government. The Chamber of Commerce had not taken the matter up ; and such bodies, he agreed with the Mayor in thinking, ought to take the matter up first, before he cenld go to the Government with confidence. Mr. BOULT said that the opinion of Admiral Evans was, that a public discussion would be very injudicious on this question. Mr. Iltruu‘ Acx said he had no desire for a publio discus sion. They should see first whether it were at all necessary to go to Government. - - subject, and C a pt a i n M ann was about making a report,Mr. LAIRD said had mitten to the Admiralty on this and he thought it would be well to write to Captain Mann before he reported. The CHAIRMAN said it would be better to take a little time to consider the matter. Mr. Boma , then gave the following notice of motion : " That the Sec re t ary b e instructed to write to the Presi dent of the Board of Trade, the Chairman of the Mersey Conservancy Commissioners, .the Chairman of the Birken head, Commission( anc and, North. Western, Great Western, and Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Companies, that the Board will forthwith proceed to construct and complete, with all despatch, acco rding to the act of Parliament; th e great low-water h.sin at Birkenhead, as laid prisoner, the witness denied that he (witness) had suggested that the prisoner should take an advance of £2O, in order that he (witness) might repay himself the . loan already advanced, and thus defraud his rather ana ..ier owners of the ship. He admitted that the prisoner and himself had been on intimate terms, and visited the Zoological Gardens and other places of amusement in company, Mr; win,* _tinter was next, examined, and, said he was principal clerk in the firm of Bonit, English, and Brandon. The prisoner was not in their employ at all, nor had he ever,been. He recollected the prisoner , coming to their office to enquire for the captain of the " Jason," (of which the captain was also part owner,) and Mr. Boult ;told him that if the prisoner called , again, he was to turn him out.

Itt seems that he is a person of an. : extremely jealous disposition. The itufortutnate woman hadteked out a small income by keeping a huckster's shop. An Irishman came to lodge below thiszesidemee some three ox-four weeks ago, and it appears without the most remote reason for doin g so, I VVelthew became extremely jealous of him., .On Monday evening ; 'smile' children, had bi.en playing about the doors with bricks; and Weltliew upon returning from his, work, observing the bricks lying about, had taken it, into his head that they had been Placed' there by the Irishman, with a view to an assignation: There is little doubt but that Welthew and his wire had quarrelled very much after going to be.d and that thcsn and:there he had determined to mur der .her.' One of their children was in bedlwith them ;, and the•prisoner allowad:hio.wife and family to t fall into a sound Sleepy and then got up, procured his razor, and immediately cut his wife's throaras she lay by the Side of her child. The woman awoke the household by her screams, and. rushedi ,to, the back yard and aroused the neighbours. Welthew had gone outside after the alarm was, given,: and had hacked: at his own throat, bat without doing s himself any sericals. harm. He*then. retiumed to the home, and had laid himself down in a pool. of blood that had flowed from the murdeied woman. He expresses no regret for the murder of his wife, an d seems tolerably cool and indifferent. Welthew, was. once a man in a very respectable station in life. THE Cik.A.N.NRI.
