Thursday.
DR. DICKINSON, our respected townsman, has been chosen
President of the Lancashire and Cheshire Branch of the Pro-
vincial Medical and Surgical Association.
TICE SCREW STEAMER JOURDAIN.—This magnificent
screw steamer, which was built by Mr. John Laird for the
French mail service between Marseilles and Constantinople,
has made the quickest run on record between Liverpool and
Marseille&

SALE OF THE LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT
RAILWAY.—The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway proprie-
tors, at a meeting on Thursday, confirmed the agreement for
the purchase of the Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport line, by
a majority of 5,327 votes.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD SHIP.—On Thursday, a boy,
named Regan, was employed to store some coals on board a
ship in the Victoria Dock ; and when lifting up one of the
hatches, he by some means slipped and fell upon some casks
in the hold, receiving such injuries as caused his death in
little more than an hour.
CRICKET MATCH AT BIRKENHEAD.—On Thursday evening,
a cricket match was concluded between the second eleven of
the Olympus Club (Prince's-park), and the first eleven of the
Birkenhead Victoria. There was some "hard hitting" on
both sides. The Victoria won, with five wickets to spare.
FINE ARTS.—A very choice and valuable collection of about
three hundred oil and water colour paintings, the property of
Messrs. Agnew and Son, of Manchester, has been opened for
exhibition at the Old Police-office, High-street. The collec-
tion includes the productions of the first men in the English
and French schools of art.
CHANCE FOR THE LOVERS OP THE FINE ARTS.—A fine
collection of paintings, by well-known masters, both ancient
and modern, is at present on view at Mr. Morrish's, Mer-
chants' Dining Rooms, in Tithebarn-street, where they are to
be disposed of, on the 7th of next month, a l'Art Union,
amongst 300 subscribers, at a guinea each. The paintings
include several valuable works.

CRICKET MATCH AT 1100TLE.—On Thursday, a match came
off between the first eleven of the Oriental Club, and the first
eleven of the Derby Club. Special permission was obtained
to use the fine ground of the Bootle Club. The wickets were
pitched at half-past four o'clock, and the game terminated in
favour of the Derby Club, by six wickets to go down. The
playing on both sides was spirited, although the scoring did
not run very high.
THE TRIAL TRIP OF THE LABIIAN took place on Wed-
nesday, and was attended with highly satisfactory results, the
speed attained being about eight knots an hour. The Labuan
is an iron vessel of tubular construction, the sides curved round
so as to form the deck ; and her double bottom will permit her
to carry wader ballast. She is intended for the coal trade of
the Eastern Archipelago, and was built Messrs. W. and C.
Miller, of this town, from the designs of Mr. Hodgson, en-
gineer, for the coal trade of Borneo.
SALE ,OF FIRST-CLASS PAINTINGS.—On Thursday and
Fridaymett, Mr. Branch will sell at his rooms, in Hanover-
street, collection of paintings by modern artists, including
several first-class works by Herring, Ansdell, Etty, Bright,
David Roberts, T. S. Cooper, Greenland, Solomon, Lee, &c.
The paintings are the property of Mr. Flatou, the well-known
collector, of London, and are greatly superior to the average
collections offered for auction sale in the provinces.
STEALING MARKED MONKT.— At the Police-court, on
Friday, John Smith, a yard-keeper in the employ of Messrs.
'Humble, Grayson, and Co., Regent-road, was charged with
stealing various sums of money belonging to his employers.
The prisoner lived under the office, and the taah-keeper
having missed various sums of money, he marked several
pieces of gold coin on Thursday, and left them in 'his drawer.
He then went out, and on his return he found that several
sovereigns and half-sovereigns had been stolen. The prisoner
was taken into custody at his house, with several pieces of
marked money in his possession. He was committed for trial.
THE CORPORATION BATHS AND WASHOUSES—We learn.
that these establishments are in a most flourishing condition.
The great demand forthe accommodation they 'afford is a proof
that the public fully appreciate the benefits which the libera-
lity of the town council and the exertions of the baths com-
mittee have placed withinthe reach of all. During last week
the number of bathers at Cornwallis-street was 6,238, at the
Pier-head 3,521, and at Paul-street 2,657, being nearly double
the number of bathers for the corresponding week of last year.
At the wasbhouses • the number of persons who attended during
the week was 213-at Paul-street, and 290 a Frederick-street
All classes seem equally desirous of enjoying the baths.
DEATH OF MR,. 'JOHN NELSON WOOD.-This gentleman,
who for many years carried on business as -a merchant and
shipowner, in Liverpool, expired at four c'elqck on Thursday
morning, at his residence, Oaklands, Rook Ferry, Cheshire.
Mr. Wood was born in the town of Maryport, Cumberland,
and was 63 years- of age. For ten or eleven days preceding
his death he -was confined to his bed, ,and for some time
previous his health was declining. The deceased was for a
number of years v member of the Liverpool corporation, from
which he retired:in November, 1853, whentthe term for which
he could serve vs alderman without being re-elected expired
according to the Municipal Act. Up to the time of his death
he was chairman of the pilots' committee, .an office which he
held for a considerable period. He was also for some years a
member of the dock committee. Besides serving the public
in these capacities, Mr. Wood was a warm supporter of various
institutionne

the latter portion of that time he held the office of chairman
of the committee.

AN OLD OEFENDER.—A young woman, named Elizabeth
Rimmer, about 23 years of age, of prepossessing appearance,
was charged at the Police-court, on Wednesday, under the
following circumstances :—She came out of Kirkdale Gaol
on Monday, after serving three months' imprisonment for
imposing upon parties in the neighbourhood of Bootle, by re-
presenting herself as a distressed daughter of more than one
celebrated deceased person. The police, having other charges
against her, she -was re-arrested. It appeared that, on the 7th
March, she called to consult Mr. J. P. Harris, surgeon,
Clarence-street, 'and was shown into the surgery. While
there she contrived to abstract a case of surgical instruments,
and also the contents of another, which she afterwards
managed to pawn with Mr. Little, of flrownlow-hill, by a
plausible story about a distressed father. A day or two after
that she obtained-a situation as servant with Mrs. Nicholson,
of Harford-street. There she stole a purse, containing
£4l7s 6d., inadvertently left on the kitehen table, and de-
camped. She was-remanded for a week in, order to complete
evidence in some other charges against her. There are some
singular circumstances connected with this young woman.
In 1852 a great sensation was created in this town by her
mother and aunt being tried on a charge- of attempting to
poison her, becausaehe would not consent to support them by
prostituting herself. They were convicted and sentenced to
death, but subsequent inquiries into the character of their
accuser led to a doubt of their guilt, and they, were pardoned.
WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The weekly meeting was
held on Wednesday, when the balance in hand was found to
be £629 12s. Bd. Cheques were drawn for out-door relief, &c.,
to the amount of £385.35. Bd. The report received from the
Visiting Committee upon the subject of the treatment of luna-
tics in the Workhouse, together with Dr. Nevins' report
thereon, were received and adopted, and copies were ordered
to be forwarded to the ,Poor-law Board. The clerk was re-
<quested to furnish a statement of the aggregate number of
rate-payers in the 22 townships comprising the West Derby
'Union, with the valuation of property, and total Amount of
assessments. Mr. R. B. Reid, surgeon, Bootle-cum-Linacre,
one of the medical officers of the union, having made a com-
plaint to the Poor-law Board-Viat, during the late visitation of
cholera, he had only been allowed 18s. 9d. per week for his
extra services, instead of three_guineas, which he considered a
very moderate charge for a professional gentleman at such a
dangerous time, and the Poor-law Board having written -to the
guardians of the union, inclosing a copy of Mr. Reid'ef-letter,
and -requesting to be furnished with any observations the
guardians might make upon it, -it was resolved that theelerk
do inform the Poor-law Board 'they consider the amounts
ample. The number of paupers relieved in the Workhouse
last week was 704, being an increase of 76 on the correspond-
ing week in last year. The number of paupers who received
out-door relief was as follows, namely :—Able-bodied, 776_;
not able-bodied, 890 ; children, 1,818:: total, 3,484, showing
an increase of 208 on the corresponding week in last half-
year. The amount expended in out-relief was £2ll 7s. 3d.
THE OE4IIO-EMEN AND THE TWELFTH OF JULY.—On
Thursday, the members of the different Orange lodges, in
Liverpool, walked in procession in honour ofthe 12th of July.
Having been forbidden to assemble within the precincts of
the borough, they, by previous arrangement, agreed upon
Wavertree being their head place of meeting. About half-
past eight o'clock in the morning the various lodges, accom-
panied by their bands of music, began to assemble at Waver-
tree-bridge. From-this point they took the route of Brook-
house, Smithdown-lane, where the met the different members
belonging to the southern division of the town. The various
lodges having been placed in order, they moved in procession
towards Gateacre, Woolton, and Childwall, and about half-past
one o'clock the entire body returned to "head-quarters," at
Wavertree. The procession was headed by a carriage contain-
ing S. Burton, Esq., high sheriff of the county of Shropshire
and grand master of the Orange lodges in England and
Ireland. There were also several flags and banners in
the procession, bearing appropriate devices, amongst
the most conspicuous of which was one containing a
portrait of the Rev. Dr. Mlcieile, bearing the following in-
scription :—" Our countryman, our Protestant defender in
Church and State." A beautiful flag of "Cranmer and
Latimer in prison" also attracted much attention. The
different clubs separated for their respective club-houses, on
arriving at the Coffee-house Hotel, in Wavertree; but pre-
parations had been made in the bowling green attached for an
unlimited number of visitors, and about three o'clock Mr.
Burton, the high sheriff of Shropshire, made his appearance
amongst the company, and was loudly cheered. The chair-
man having addressed a few words to the meeting, Mr.
Burton, the grand master, spoke at some length. He con-
gratulated them on the splendid display they -had that day
made. He spoke at considerable length in favour of the loyal
character of Orangemen, and concluded by an energetic
appeal on behalf of the order. After several other speeches
the company retired, but in other respects it was a great day
in Wavertree, and thousands of spectators were present to
witness the procession. At some twelve or fourteen houses
festive gatherings were held in the evening.
Cuarous QUESTION or OWNERSHIP.—A case, involving a
curious legal question as to ownership, was heard at the County
Court, on Friday. John Boyd and George Duncan, coopers,
were plaintiffs, and John Tyson, also a cooper, in Vulcan-
street, was defendant. The claim was for £l5 16s. 6d., for
the value of eleven water casks, of 200 gallons each. In No-
vember last, the plaintiffs supplied Messrs. Millers and Thomp-
son with thirteen water casks for the Australian ship Gold-
finder. There was an option on the part of Messrs. Millers
and Thompson, that they might either keep or send back so
many of the casks as should not be passed by the Government
emigrant officer. Eleven of the casks were allowed to remain
on the Prince's Dock quay until the 20th of December, when
Mr. Tyson, the defendant, went to Messrs. Millers and Thomp-
son, and asked if he could remove the casks in payment of a
previous account he had against them. Permission was given
to him and he removed them. Subsequently the plaintiffs
also applied to Messrs. Millers and Thompson for the casks,
having been inforned what had become of them. Mr. Thomp-
son said they had been given to Mr. Tyson in a mistake, and
wrote a letter asking him to deliver up the casks to the plain-
tiffs. Armed with this letter, Messrs. Boyd and Duncan ap-
plied to Mr. Tyson, but he refused to give up the casks, on
the ground that they had been given to him by the owners in
payment of an account. Messrs. Millers and Thompson be-
came insolvent, and could not pay the plaintiffs. The action
against the defendant was grounded on the argument, that
Messrs. Millers and Thompson never were the owners of the
casks, and had no right to give them to defendant. The
judge decided that Messrs. Millers and Thompson, not having
returned the casks in a reasonable time, had decided to keep
them, so became the owners, and could, therefore, dispose of
them as they thought a, He gave jadgment for the defen-
dant, with costs.
