Second, a report pursuant to the inttrut . tions of the Council at the last nieetitig, on ihe pdvets, . duties, and obligations of the Council in reference to the . property of the Corporation and the income thereof, and • - as to the disposition thereof', by sale, in fee, or on lease, or . on the renewal of leases, and the application of the proceeds of such sales, leases, or renewals. After the passing of the Municipal Corporationl Act, the corporate property became under that act subject to certain public trusts to be exercised by the Council only in the manner and for the purposes prescribed by that act, and-the Council are restrained from selling, ;caging, or alienating the lands, tenements, .heredite meats, or estate of the Corporation without the consent of the Lords of the Treasury. When it is intended to make application to the Lords of the Treasury to author 7 rise the sale, mortgage, or alienation of any part of such property, the act prescribes that notice of such intention shall be affixed for one calendar month in front of` the Town-hall, and that a memorial representing the circum stances of the case shall be sent to the Treasury, such .memorial having been previously .deposited 'for one calendar month in the , Town-cleik'soffite, freely open to the inspection of every burgess at an seasonable hours. ." By the Municipal Corporation, Mortgages, Act, the Lords of the Treasury are empowered as a con &tip of their approval of any mortgage, to require that, the money borrowed shall be repaid with interest in thirty_years, or tiny less period, and either by instal menttor. by means T of a sinking fund or b ot h ; and, if such repayment is directed by means of a sinking fund, Council are required,. out of the wills and profits of the heredita.menla or rates; to invest such sums as the tanninissioners Of the Trea sur y may di rect in Govern • - rnt annuities, and in like manner to invest their divi-. tiends thereon, so that such PUil25 rIOMPOUnd interact, accumulate at uuu no such interest can be.aold or transferied without the written consent .of the Lords of the Treasury. "This act further prescribes that where any purchase money or. compensation has, been paid into the Bank of gogland, in respect of the purchase of any lands from a Municipal Corporation, under act of Parliament, or of • • permanent damage to any such l an d s , th e L or d s o f th e ,Treasury may, if they approve of the paynient of%silch ss. purchase money or compensation, for damage to the Corporation, require provision to be made for raising •a f !Inking fund, as before prescribed, and investing the Same and the dividends thereof, and when it appears to the Lords of the Treasury that an amount of annuities equivalent to the, amount paid to the Corporation has `,been raised by investment under the act, they may direct the investment to cease, and the annuities and • dividends will thenceforth be applicable, as the same would have been if such annuities had arisen from investment under the act under which such purchase. money or compensation became payable'. ‘f This. act further provides that where the Lords of the Treasury approve of the sale of any houses, their UpPioirul may tie subject to such conditions, in relation Ito the investment of the proceeds of such sale, for the of ,tee body corporate as-they may see fit ; and, where they direct the same to -be invested in Govern ment annuities, the before-mentioned provisions as ,to . "the mode of investing, payment of dividends, and tram ter of annuities shall apply, but -not so as to render Liestssary any accumulation ; or, if they see fit to con; .„' bent to the application of the proceeds of any sale, 'or. part thered, for the benefit o f th e i nhabitants of the borough, they may,. as a condition to their consent, ilelitire the establishment of an equivalent sinking fund, • a before prescribed in other cases ; and this enactment. ▪ sto apply as well to 'moneys received for equality of , • , exchange as to the proceeds of the sale of any heredita .l34l4- . . " The Lords of the T reasur y are further authorised , to • consent to the application of any annuities arising from such investments for the benefit of the inhabitants of, the boroughs, and, as a condition of their consent, may . 4v t rwttre the lik e p rov i s i on for a sinking fund, with a ....kirOviso that it shall not be imperative 'on the Lords of „ the Treasury to require such , provision as a condition' of their assent to the application of such annuities or intmays, or to the payment of any purchase money, or itomponeoli.a, o= money bo arise from the 'sale of the inVestments thereof, where, by reason of the application ~ sikah annuities or money to improvement of the pro _ petty or the Corporation, or for the permanent benefit the borough or otherwise, under the special eirctim starkees of the law, they may, in their discretion, think :At to dispense with such provision. "..The foregoing enactments of the Municipal Act and of ,the..

If the borough fund shall not be sufficient for these purposes, the Council is required to levy a boicinih rate to supply the deficiency. "As to the proceeds of sales, as distinguished from leases of Corporate property, it has been shown that, under the municipal acts, no such sales can be made without the consent Of the- Lords of the Tre aeirry - , and that they. May direct the investment of Well proceeds as condition of such consent.

".The proper - application of theii fines some time ago" received the careful consideration of the committee, and they were advised by the most eminent - Counsel 'that the amount derived-:root both di these tOurces ;Is 06:: Orly 'applicable, Mid might:to be applied . ; as income accruing at-the-line of its beinr, reeeiVed.

From this itfollows that no specific fine or fines in respect of any particular property can. be specially applied to any par ticular' purpose; but that all fines - received in any year must be carried to the credit of the bororigh fund of that year, together with the income of the Corporation from all ether sources, and be applicable .to the: payment- of the obligatory apetidittlre of that year.. " The amount received as tints; In any" ode year; is subject to some years in which sales of property -(-Whieh has fallen 603 possession) occur, the amount- it tery-.large;' !did, in other years, When this doet • iirit happen, and the fines received are only these - upon the ordinary renewals of leases, con., !lidded: by the Council' a - each monthly meeting, .thi - 3 amount is .comparatively, small. Tfiese7 onisideiations; and others connected *itli the iectitite intottie , and nipenditrire of the torpnration, influenced your com mittee in reporting to : the Council on the 4th April last ' That in the present financial position of the COrporatiori no sufficient funds can be provided out of the corporate estate for the purpose Of carrying out im provements on an extended scale, and. it appears - to this committee that fends for that purpose can only be pro vided by levying rates_ under the authority of .the act of Parliament, which would be necessary to enable the completion of such comprehensive improvements as thi Councilmay atitherise;-• and nocireurastaltes hare since arisenalter t:et:toEtli t their a opinion in thig taped. It Me Council- rarlianit4ia ..... fti Viers to Sorrow money uniir6yetnents or any other purpose, they must show.a. sufficient security for the money propoied to be borthwed, and if that security were the 'corporate estate and borough fund, the latter.wotild be chargeable. with • tire! ‘ interest of the:borrowed monex, and .the. sinking fund for its redemptlOn ; and if in any year that fund was insufficient for . .ibis purpose, and also to meet the ordinary obligatory :paymenta; chargeable upon it, : a: borough-Tate - must be laid to supply the deficienpy. In 'that cast the Council would be. at once deprived of all discretion in respect to expenditure as to minor imp Fore - and other payment's Out . of surplus ineama, and be limited to a-strict — administration of a trust estate for tha defined objects specified in the acts. If , however, the Conicil should decide upon .applying . for powers to effectiinprOiernents and to borrow money- on.the credit of an improvement rate, it would be coinpeferit'fOr the Council to; votcl• 'in any •yenr . a • sum out of ascertained surplus to be appropriated-towards effecting such improve.. ments as may be . authorised,..or . in 'aid' of the impsO Ve inent,rate • Mr. Alderman meiing -the confirmation . et the proceedings, said the report recorded on the 'pro ceedings was of so much importance that it would* impossible for the members to,devote proper considera tion to it that morning. It . appeared to him, to be one of the -most'-important . subjects` which had - ever keeti brought before this Council: Ile Sit'oUld therefOre pro pose that the report should 'be printed and cirenlrited, and that the debate should be adjourned till the next meeting. Mr. Kitchen suggested that the report should be circulated before the question of town improtreinents -was considered. The suggestion having been adopted, Mr Turner' said that on the general proceedings there was nothing which required any particular observation, except that relating to the erection of the. Wellington testimonial mi the'site 'of the . Islington market.: (Cries of "Tea .- .") " • , • . .. _ A letter from the Mersey-Dockßoard,asking if that body nii,?iht be pifinitted %o Continue to work the chain limit*. inAcliine x for . another year was referred to the in . airce Colimittee...'.f . . : The Vow'Sr-: - cteitlc ar, : corresporldence _relative to the'feti and salary of the 'O4IF. of 'the Peace to . the borOugh; ftfat - geatlerapiiiaintaining„ that. the fees allowed - by Lord Vihn ilot - idfcrid more than; a fair rDmiiii - e,70 - iiiik;Kirilil . ,ikork done ;` ::while the .Council maintained -that the , - Clerk of the Peace wis considerably crierpaict, and suggested that he should be remunerated by a fixed salary. The last communication received was from the Secretary of State for the Home Department, asking if the Council would be willing to allow to the Clerk of the Peace a salary of £l,OOO per annum. Alderman TUnNER then moved the confirmation of the general proceedings. . Alderman 030 PER seconded the motion. PICTON said he could not refrain from making an obsriation with reference to the Finance Committee and the lilers6 , pockS and Harbour Bill. The 31;i : 0n. - iiicrili6re was nothing on the proceed . - ingi of tlig'Fiikalice CoMmittee this month with respect to the bill: gr; Prprox said that was the very thing he had to complain of. On a former occasion instructions were given to' the Finance Committee to take action on that bill, then'befOre the fionse of Commons; and whA he_ had to complain of was that no action bad been taken that they, being owners of a considerable estate at. Birkenhead, the interests of which were seriously affected by that bill did ItOt act in a way to protect it—and that although their Own tenant stated that the loss on the Birkenhead ferry would be several hundreds per annum, and, that it. would . seriously .affect the getable value of that property, the bill was allowed to pass the Commons • hopeless. and go to the Lords:, as if opposition were lt • was left telitivate indiViduals to put 'their own hinds in their pockets, and stand forward at considerable trouble and expense when the principle involved in matters of toll was eonsiciered so extraordinary by their lordships and so 'unfair - to the ferries,that it was unanimouslyagreed to' reject the- Claue as to the old landing stage, where matters were left precisely ashefOre. Mr. CHARLES _Tußicpa wished to correct a misappre hensiOn of Mr. Piction as to what the Lords -did. it was never proposed by the bill to levy tolls uporrOOP landed at the south stage. There was a clause pro hibiting such goods being landed there altogethei; and all that. the Lords did was to strike out .the word "goods" from that prohibition ; while, as it stands, cattle, horses, and vehicles are_ prohibited. It was a question whether by other 4ts goods also • were not •- already prohibited. Mr. JEFFERY rose to speakupon the •'question, but the Mayor stopped the discussion as irregular, the. matter having already been disposed of at thelast meeting. Mr. JEFFERY said the queStiou Tao : of. $0 niUch im portance that it would raise the,question how far the members of the Mersey Briar& ht`id a.right - to sit there. ("Oh !" and uproar.), sheuld like tele.) , a word upon this matter, and therefor!) he.would move tho journment of the .c . 11fr. seconds it? ,MT. PICTON did. - r The MAYOR, ruled that Mr, Jeffery was quite out of order. Air• PICTON—Can a member not move an.. adjourn ment The MAYOR —Ho cannot, merely to raise a question which has not been legally-entered upon the paper for the day. Dir. j ""itY —Are we not under the, same rules as the Rouse of c6 mmons ? The ToWx-cratax—No: , . M r . jEriEnv then said he :Wished to ask a question r which eco m had ii u p o n another point:---that W as whether, by referring the corresponden ce iee, hey been read to the Finanee Cora tt tted,in anyway to giving the Clerk of the Peace a salary of £l,OOO a year ? ' rnt Alderman Tr ANEIt Was sure stlie -comniittee would never commit the Connell to thy. - payment of anything like £l,OOO a year. : He thought the Mayor , and' the Town-clerk should go to.tondo!i• and have an interview with the Secretary of State nron•the subject. . - • . Mr. SHEIL said he mould like to know the salary, which Mr. Wright agreed to accept in takilig this:Once of Clerk of the peace in 18-1.4.. ' - • ..- : . . The TOWN-CLERK said £5OO •, but two yPall after,. in consequence of a representation of increase of business necessitating the employment, of additional' clerks; he was allowed an addition of £l7O. _ • Mr. JEFrERY—TeII us what .the recorderireceived . last year, and what the clerk of the peade. The TOWN-CLERK said—The recorder 700 guineas;aild the clerk of the peace, upon public prosecutions alone, had received last year £1,294 18s.; a sum something less than the preceding year, because during 1659, that table which had been provisionally sanctioned by the Secretary of State had been in operation for three years. Mr. JEFFERY thought he had heard it stated, in one of the letters read, that it had amounted to £1,900. Then there were extra fees. Assuming them to amount to £3OO, that would make the sum £2,200, as against 700 guineas paid the recorder. The proceedings were then confirmed. LIGHTING ARID WATCHING COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee included a recom mendation to alter regulation No. 12 of the hackney carriage bye-laws, by striking therefrom the restriction against the drivers smoking whilst attending to their carriages ; and also the bye-laws for regulating omnibuies and the owners, drivers, and conductors thereof, laid on the table at the last meeting of the Council. - Mr. CLINT, in moving the confirmation of the pro ceedings, said that with regard to the first reuommenda- tion that w6tiid halcre to' stand oven aCe,isrding to the gtandingOrders, tilt the neit meeting ;ariatheY could not 0 on - with the as there were not fOrty-: thi : eeMenihers pi:e4ent.

A memorial was read from car dri , (ers, . asking the • Council consider, in framing the bye.:laws,.the incor rectness of the_ map by which distances were determined in - cases of disitite ; and iskitlg that a tiook of tares should gliciriiiig tlis uniot nt f6 . 11b }raid from each stand to any part of the town.

Coilrtraild urged that • when parties refused to pay the rare the police alionlA be adtliorlsed to interfere, and to take them into custody when found necessary. Mr • CLINT said. that when .Mr. Raffles took the appointment of stipendiary magistrate, an arrangement was made that the comirnitee should only take cogni sance of cases which he reported to them. The sur veyor had beeri,./or some time engaged in preparing a list of fares hut as it was a *OA of considerable labour, -it tirdald doctipy: sortie bole Still. - As to the suggestion that the edniatittee shotild enable the car proprietors to recover their fares, they could rio more do that than the/ could assist tiny otlief mart to Colle6t his dbbts. : M that 11 they protected the agaieLt the car driker, they should protect, the car driver against the public.; and he suggested, that in the • nest bill Connected with the Watch Com , mittee, a clatiie.shduld be inserted on the subject. Il e congratulated the 'cOnimitteeson Wing, with success, taken nfeAiiiiea pieiedtidri of pia; Mr. EriciTiN suggested_ that. the warehouse keepers should - themselves contribute to carrying out the arrange ments for The prevention Of fire, and said he was quite sure that if the- owners and occupiers of warehouses made proper regulations, it would be impossible for a fire to occur without being immediately extinguished. ' Mr: DOVER reminded the Council that the warehouse keepers contributed- more largely to the local rates than atty. othervlaiss.d. the inhabitatits. lieSideslhis, it was ,the cheapest money, as there was no. expense attending its collection, arid attended tly.no bad debts. • 'the Itietnotial:Wlo - iiifeired to the committee for con iidernidd, general - ptOceedinis were then con &died:— • _ - co3fmlifEi. On the recommendation of this cOrninittee tlte_resig natiOn of Mr. Wignall, smoke inspector, was accepted, and Alin Committee was -anthorised to advertise for a person to fulfil the office:: Mr.. Tbs. EARLE desired ipforrnation with regard to the number of lodgiug•houSes which had been registered., nr. BowniNG said he .wasifot prepared With s4tisties, but he might state generally that a larger number of houses had been.registered reecntly, and were now sub ject to inspection more than at any-previous period, and. that the regulations were working extremely well. Mr. RIDLEY complained that the Health Committee had charged Z2O for cleansing the Islington market. _ _ Ald. DOVER was-sorry the - matter bad been mentioned, and tie hoped. that any caw() of complaint would be . shortly removed by the abolitio.n .of .the market alto gether, That was the only classical part of Liverpool, and he thottght - it *ds'a refrcetienlupoti the taste of the Council that it should be turned into a cabbage garden. - Mr.- Itini,Et moved that that part,of the proceedings With reference to the charge for cleansing the market be not confirmed; 'but lie agreed to virithdraw it on Mr. .Dover stating that he did-not think it 'was worth while troubling the Council'on the 'natter* - - The general proceedings were then-confirmed.... • .71,W 0-6 01.ngs of. the, Cp ; grt#3 of Law and of the St. ' . s`t. *'George' s CoMmittee Vieiil) then' read and 400firnied. • • THE. MARXETS- COMII/TTCE.-=-411E . EAiILIER CLOSING. The- proceedings,. resolutions, and reports of the Markets Committee comprised :-1. Recommendation to , adcipt'a scale of charges to be taken at the cOrpora loot weighing machines, in lieu 'of the charges now made.. 2. Recommendation, to alter the bye-law for closing. the markets at 'ten o'clock on Saturday night to - eleven : o'clOck. 3 Recommendation to accept the tenders *of '!ft. Samuel White,. for uniforms, _liveries; and .hats.- Recommendation to *appoint William - Bolton . and John Banks, as market constables, at the. weekly wages of 225. each. Mr. RIDLEt moved the confirmation of these recom r mondations seriatim. The new charges for weighing did. not alter the•formet :scale, but made - them more regular, and they were also more inaccordanee with the charges for private weighing machines. • Ttie'MAYOR said there were three memorials upon the subject of the closing of the markets. As the Council were. aware,- the bye-law Could not be rescinded -that day, but the matter would have to stand over for another month. The Memorials were then read. The first was from the tenents of Gill-street market ; the second from the tenants of St. James's market ; and the third from the Early Closing Association. - - In answer to Mr. Aspinall, Itionzv stated that seven-eighths of the tenants of all the markets had signed memorials praying per mission to keep open till eleven o'clock on Saturday nights. He said, also, that many of their tenants were leaving them in consequence of the early closing of the markets - : ihey had taken shops outside, which they could keep open till 12 o'clock at night. The effect of the . earlierclosiug had been to benefit the shops outside the different- markets. He moved that the memorials be referred to the Markets Committee, and that the question- staid . over for a month. - . - - Mr.T.knt.ElSaicl he had listened with great attention - TO Mr. Ridlers arguments, but he thOught them poor ones. (A- laugh-)' Going to parties interested for information was like. going to lawyers to improve the the law they never would improve it; and the Church was the - same, the parsons would never improve it: The ' establishment of shopS in the neighbourhood- of - the markets would last a _ very short time,. and poor people would take good care not- to go there for their bargains. It was strange to ask for the abrogation of a law before they saw the effect of it. Let them first see what effect the closing of the markets would have upon the disorderly part of the town -; 'let -them have in a few months a report from the police as to whether there is less rioting and drnukenness in the neighliourhood : Mr. BOAYRISO though the experiment had not had a fair trial, and it-would be trifling - with the question to make an alteration at the present time. - Mr. GL4nx.E A4I:'IIrAIL said,. after Toting .on the former occasion for closing at ten o'clock, he had asked himself the question whether the tenants of the markets were not tied up for, twelve or eighteen months to their tenancies, and whether, consequently, the change did not 'involve some hardship and injustice. iRe found, however, that the . bulk of: them were weekly tenants, and therefore - they had' not much reason to complain. If they were told they were all at liberty to quit the Market, it.was probable there would not be one .resigna tion. If the Cottncil were to make. a_ byelaw one day, ; and alter it the next, they would not hold a very digni fied position out of doors. lie 'charged the Markets .Comraitteemith having beenlirejudiced from the first been made.:- .: against the changehad Mr. JOHNSON supported the recommendation of the committee. Tie Ouitnts , had: to compete with shop• • keepers in back 'streets,' and in such places as Vauxhall road, which. were not compelled to close early. Mr. Stu* also supported the recommendation. Al though the *mutts paid weekly, thorwera actually yearly tenants; and ,many, of them had be(M.sueh before Mr. Aspinall was' born. MinY of the commodities brought to the market wereperishable' 'articles, which were arriving at all hours, and•some -of Whiclf,traist be sold late. As to the payment, .of wages on Friday nights, Mr. Sheil said there were many tr a desmen. :who no not able to do so; but w'era dependent upon, their daily collections on the•Saturclayto Meet Ufa demand.

Mr.RroLey asked if it were true that it was the intention of the committee to dism'iss the curator of the Botanic Gardens, if he had not resigned. Mr. PIcTON replied that he had no means of answering a question as to what the committee might .have done. The proceedings were confirmed ; and, .on the motion of Mr. Hodson, the proceedings of the Water Committee were adopted, and also those of the Baths Ceinmittee, the consideration, of a plan for the -conversion of the Ererton reservoir being postponed for an indefinite period.

Great cr ue l t i es were sometimes practised . by these men, and the - committee , recommended that the most stringent regulations should be adopted . 0 prevent this. • MAYOR'S COMMUNICATIONS. An application from Edward Edwards; a porter at the ,Town-hall, was referred to. the Town-hall Establishment Committee. - - THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW. The following letter was submitted:— TO THE MXTbI OF LIvERTOOL. large number of thc.officers of the artillery and n n e volunteers of Liverpool haying assembled this day, to carry 011tk to the best advantage, the official review byCOL -41 rao, Inspector-General of Volunteers.; of the Lancashire yelunteisrs at Aintree Racecourse, on the 14th of July, they desire me, respectfully, to ask theldaycir to nae.

BOrRNE, Major. • Liverpool, 4th July, 1860. . The MAYOR asked 'what - stops the COuneil woulthake in the matter. • _ My. TURNER suggested that the matter should, be made as public as possible, but did not.think they could do anything further. Mr. GRA.VES said he was• at the review of the Volunteers in • Hyde Park, and he• did feel that Liver pool was rather behindhand with', regard to-the move ment. Unless the employers came forward and counte nanced the movement, he feared that whatever zeal is shown, it would be of very little . avail. The review at Aintree would -be supposed to be the only occasion within the year on- which the employers would be asked to forego any portion of the services of the employed, and he did think it was an occasion when the Council might express its opinion as strongly as they could prudently do. ➢ir. ROBERTSON said that the reason that Liverpool was not as well _ represented at the review as Man chester was, that a subscription had been raised in the latter town to defiay their expense up to London. _ _ Mr. JEFFERY warned them not to create too much excitement with regard to the volunteer movement. tie knew of several instances where young •men had lost their situations in consequence of_ having their mind wholly engroised in that movement; and he maintained hat unless it were kept within reasonable grounds, instead of being beneficial, it would prove highly. per nicious. Persons engaged in mercantile pursuits,.'with comparatively small establishMents, had no idea what might be the mischievous influence of an undue eithu liasm.

Mr. Block was for the prisoner. The officer who had the pril goner in custody Said he was called into the house, No. 23, Great Newton-street, when the prisoner -was given into ens: tody for stealing a twenty end a five-pound note from Richard Hartley. Mr. Raffles : What sort of a house is this ? Officer It is a private house at present, and seems respeitahle; 'The man who has it is going to get out a beer or wine license for it. I told the prisoner the eharge, and she denied it, but she threw some silver omit of her hand: * Mr. Hartley was. then . called; but behave 1 In such a strange manner in the witness -boa that kts.'Worship rebuked him several times, and told him to conduct himself properly.

The female searcher at Hotham-street station, stated' that she searched the prisoner, and the latter endeavoured to burn soMetliiiig,:ind then to swallow it; but she prevented her, and found a twenty and ..a five pound note. . Mr. Bluck then addressed the court, and said the conduct of the prosecutor was most disgraceful, said 'that he was a scandal to the married state. He trusted the. prosecutor would take some of the newspapers of the next day home to his wife, in order to lot her see•his conduct. Mr. Raffles quite agreed wiih Mr. Black, that the prosecutor stood in a most disgraceful petition ; bat still the case of stealing the notes Was quite clear. Mr. Bluck, in that case, said he would. advise the prisoner to plead guilty, as she was not known to ,the police for felony. She pleaded guilty, and was sent to jail for three months.

ENGINEER etlAltS: • LAST NIGHT. A meeting of getittletnim and artisans interested' the formation of a Voldifetii'earP 4 of Engineeis was announced to take. place last . efetWat f the 'library of St. George's-hall - . At the bout of nteetilig—=seven (Muer, the library was crowded to excess by wcirkifik tnen,.(4;34 it was found. necessary to adjourn to the PaYgi hill. Amcat: ihn gentlemen present were—Messrs. Newlands . (Borough' ttginkr), DUncan (Water Engi neer), Clarke Aspinall, I;ei f ce,. NOVver, Kilpin, Bicton, 31‘Bride,- and many others; ' -.- Captain Milvta was voted 'to the efiai.Y.- He. eon tended, at great length, that the time had arrlfet . hen the pablie bodies—the - Dock Board, and the:Corpora tion—should find means within - themselves for self- . defence in ease of invasion; and set aside the puerile excuses of inability to do- so-from:the . state of laws and want of money. . . • Mr. Etrasow, the secretary pro. tcnt, made a: few per tinent rentayks; aird•read communications from General Sir John Burg,oyne;• Colonel M‘licirdel,r Lord Stanley, Lord Elcho, Captain Mends,.: Messrs.- Brown, Horsfall (M.P:), Ewart (MP.), and others;-- Mr. gIIXIN moved-.." That this meeting recognises the absolute necessity for a Local Volunteer Engineer C:orps i - as an adjunct .to the Artillery and Rifle Corps of Liverpool ;. and pledges itself to use its utmost exertions toe promote the immediate formation of such corps." After referring to the-defenceless state :of_ . the country, and the Means of defence Which had 'be e n taken by the Vohruteers, •he asserted that no body of Volunteers could be efficient, in case of need, without theco-operation of corps of engineers:, sappers, and miners; nor could such corps be established without the cordial go-operation of: the gentlemen, the public bodies, and the artisans. In case of invasion, he asserted that Liverpool wot4cl, - be the first. place attacked; and it was therefore necessary that the town should be prepared for any exigencies, - Mr. Ptc-rom seconded the resolution. Ile Said that the introduction of steam and the telegraph had rendered it peculiarly easy fo r an enemy to make a sadden attack upon oar shores; and be thought that to secure peace they should. make - themselves ready for war, and the country not a menace, but perfeCtlyiniccessible to au invading foe. Believing that an Engineering Corps was. 'absolutely necessary as supplemental to the Artillery and Rifle Corps, he very strongly urged the immediate forma tion of the one propoSed. - . - Mr. Councillor AsrtNA LL moved=-"That, itithe opinion of this meeting, - the engineering staff of the Corporation and Dock Board should form the nucleus of the pro- - posed.*:corps ; and that. the Town• Council and Dock Board - be respectfully Inemorialised to give their sanc tion'-and ,it is further resolved that a deputation be appointed to wait upon his .

During the week considerable excitement has been felt at Bebington and Tranrneie, - ,ltestating from the very sudden, death and hurried burial of a woman named Phillis Amelia Paterson, the wife of David ratasen, an assistant chemist, in ehargeof 'the Bebing ton -branch establishment of - .the - lksideis el' Messrs. Costine and Dyson, the chemists, of- Tithebani-street,. Liverpool. - . . . _ . The deceased was abbut thirty-two years of, age, and had four chjldren by her husband,. Mr. Paterson, with whom, it appears by the evidence of a Miss Berry, she lived comfortably.. She was in an advanced 'state of pregnancy, which was attended with oceasional vomiting. On Friday morning, about eight o'clock, she was seized with what appeared to be. strong convulsions and vomit ing. She continued in a state of insensibility until about half-past nine, then she died in the greatest agony. Dr. Gorst, who Was"called in the early part of her morning illness, gave a certideate; and; in consequence it is alleged of continued frothing - from the Mouth, and rapid deconipOsition, she was burieil on Sunday Morning. All these facts together gave rise tosuspicion of foul play ; the circumstances' reached the ears of the 'Head constable for the county; Nit.: M'Dirmot, who imme diately communicated With the coroner ; the result was that a poet tnortern examination of the body was ordered, and an INQUEST was held yesterday at'the Rosa and Crown publie--house, Lower Bebington, before Mr. Henry Chtirton and a teapeetable jury. The following evidence was elicited Jatie- Williams, wife -of Griffith Williams, of Trail mere, deposed that she was a inidwife. • About a hionth • agci she was engaged to attend - Mrs: Paterson 'in her • confinement, which was expected *would take . placie about the 15th of July. She was "sent for on Friday morning last about - half-past eight - o'plock. The 'de ceased appeared" to be iii-istiong convulsions at the time, which continued •*ttntif half-Past nine O'cloCk, 'when she expired. There-was a good deal:of frothing from the month. Mr. Gorst saw: her about twenty minutes to ten o'clock. Mr. Paterson continued going in and out of the room, and appeared in a very excited ttate. • • • Elizabeth RUdge, wife of Edward- fudge, tinsmith and brazier, of Tranmere, stated On' Friday morn ing, shortly after eight o'clock, Mr. Paterson-came to her house in a state of excitement, and - desired her (wit ness's) husband to go for Dr. Gorst, as his .wife was in convulsions. Her husband went for the doctor, and she went to the deceased, whom she found in her bed in convulsions, attended with much frothing at the.mouth. She also vomited. The vomitings were yellow. About a fortnight before the death the witness was sent for, and the deceased complained of illness, pain in - the bowels, and she stated that she frequently vomited.- She did not usuallpinjoy vory good health. On Friday the continued in a state of insensibility for about "an heut and a half or two hours. . • The Coroner remarked that the lasttstatement of .the witness did hot tally with the doctor's tertifiege; which stated that she was ill for three hourS: Amelia Beripleposed that she had lodged , with Mr. Paterson for fire months, and cocroborated the former witness's evidence with respect to Fridaymorning. She had seen the deceased about eleven o'clock on 'rhtirsdp.y. night, • when she felt very much better thin siie;had done 'for the fortnight previously. The deceased "tad had four children, two being !stillborn, a third had died, and one Was still alive, a boy about .four Tears.- • • Recalled—The deceased and her husband - lived very comfortably together.. . . r. .• Robert Ellison Gorst—l visited the deceased on - Friday. morning about eight . o'clock..

There was no other evidence of violence. The skull itself was not injured in any way. Within the skull I - found the . - brain - -generally 'healthy.' There was nothing remarkable about the membrane—that was also healthy. I found on the brain, on the inside of the cap, a plot of blood corresponding in position. with that over the left ternOS'iefternally. .It might have half an ounce iii weight.: • ThiS clot communicated with another and much larger one between the lobes of the brain. The cause ordetith, I Consider,. was an effusion of blood on the braii: There were not all thosYmPt•Pi ns of apoplexy present:. /The Marks and the blood . were . not: the fesalts of natural causes, but of vior _ t bloWby a fall, or a blow from a blunt ins: e rnm nsti e e . is my opinion that insensibility would imrxe perpetrated, but soon diately after the injury had been afterwards. I cannot say i n what time been received would not be 'i mm ediate. The blow might en received the day before, but - she would suffer from headache from , the time of the injury.• The Coroner remarke d that Miss Berr y bad said the 'deceased was well in her health at eleven o'clock the .previous night. Mr. Gorst continued —It is common for women in a state of pregnancy to vomit. I forgot to say that the deceased was in an advanced state of pregnancy. Labour, however, had not commenced, 50 that that had i• nothing to do with the.appearance of the brain. It was possible for-her ttEreceive.itijury in the manner already explained without there being . any traces of it exter rrially:.• The hiiir - of the head; would in a measure protect the head.

T agree with Mr. Gorst with regard to the tom' of death—the effusion of blood on the brain. cositter that the effusion resulted from itury. It is posslble that it might have been occasioned by a fall ; but more likely, from the appearance, by a blow. The position of the Mucci on the pericranium, corresponding with that on the inside, leads me to suppose so. The fall might have been against a per pendicular object. Violent sickness might have caused an effusion of blood on the brain, or apoplexy ; but the marks on the outside of skull would lead one to sup pose that the effusion in this instance was the result of violence or injury. There was a thick covering of hair on the head which prevented the blow resulting in external marks of the violence. There was a slight swelling of the scalp, but no one could have seen it while the deceased lived. There• were three or four ounces of blood alto gether on the surface of the brain. Beside the smaller . portion of bloodthere was a stain indicating that the blond had escaped at that part. I differ in one particular from Mt. Gorst: the blood was found, I should say on, not in the brain. The Coroner stated that as the CtlB3 had now assumed a very important shape, it would be better to adjourn the inquest until next week, in order to enable Mr. MlDermot to bring further evidence. The inquest was adjourned accordingly, 'until Tuesday next, at two o'clock in the afternoon. The husband of the deceased has been detained in custody. The coroner refused to accept bail. .1--AIki'S'S•TEWART AND CO., . ~._. It, .. : P rllia THEIR C r:LF.I3 ItAl ED "JJ " WItISKY.,B puny old. at -, ISt. per Gall. Martell's Qiii.BRANDY.
