TRANMERE INKERMAN CELEBRATION.

THE fifth of November was kept up with great spirit at
Tranmere, yesterday, by a display, intended to be also in com-
memoration of the Battle of Inkerman. For some weeks past,
a committee had been. getting together a fund for the purpose.
Upwards of. '&35, was subscribed by 132 gentlemen ; amongst
them, we are happy to add, a few Greek gentlemen who live
in the neighbourhood. During the day, salutes of cannon
were fired at intervals in a field opposite the mill at Holt
mu, the use of which was granted by Mr. Samuel
Lightbound. The.:field and the houses in the neighbourhood
were decorated with a great displayof flags. A square, formed
of about forty flag poles, was placed in the field, and in the
oettre was a triumphal arch, twenty feet high, bearing the
word " Inkermau" in red, white, and blue lettere, (which
formed.a transparency at night,) decorated with festoons of
evergreens, and surmounted with the four allied flags. In this
fieldt- beautiful display of fireworks took place at night, pro-
vidediby Mr. Nathan Knowles of this town. Several balloons
with/ oatingstars, immense rockets, and 4 andS•inch.shells,
were sent up during the evening. Theres ere fivelargefirework

.eartloacis of sfuivings, old wood, coals, grise„ .&e., was lit at
seven o'clock, on the .highest -part of Holt Common, and,
owing to .its grkat. elevation, was visible from every part of
Liverpool. Aboutfifty gentlemen acted as stewards, and each
wore a red, white, and Moe rosette, with a vignette of gold
etters in the centre, inscribed " Tranmere Inkerman•Celebra-
ion 1855." After the firework display, the stewards were
nviied. to the house of Mr. W. W.:Perrey (who had contributed
a toward the fund), -where they were provided with the inost
liberal entertainment by that gentleman. Mr. Perrey had
also.gone to great expeose in having house fitted up and
decorated, in honour of the occasion. The stewards after-
wards matched in procession to the Britannia-rooms, Lower

trusted the pitting up of the decorations to Mr. Daniel

town, and he fulfilled his task in a manner that elicited
the loud approbation of all the Spectators. Vie farmers of

DEATH OF TWO 3io RE OF TICE STARVED CHILDREN.—
It must be in the remembrance of all our readers, that in
August last a revolting spectacle of parental depravity was
brought to light by the death of two children named Aspinall,
who died from neglect and starvation—the case being ren-
dered still more miserable by both the parents being com-
mitted for trial, under the verdict of a coroner's jury finding
them both guilty of " Wilful murder." Four of the unfortu-
nate children who still survived were at that time admitted
to the Workhouse, and on Tuesday the two youngest chil-
dren died there, within an hour of each other.
MANCHESTER.—The improvement which took effect at the
close of last week is still apparent in this market; and though
prices remain low, there is still more steadiness. The strin-
gency in the money market is rather less severe, which has
had the effect of inducing a somewhat more cheerful feeling,
whilst the upward movement of the Liverpool cotton market
has assisted to steady prices, and to give them an upward ten-
dency. At the same time, it is difficult to obtain any advance;
and though buyers are disposed DOW to give rates they de-
clined to make purchases at last week, as yet the difference in
this respect is but small. Producers are asking more money
in all cases where they are without stock, and this is now much
more generally the case again ; the low prices of late having
induced such purchases as have cleared off stocks in most cases,
and more especially of yarns. Under these circumstances,
spinners more particularly are firm in their requirement of
somewhat higher rates, in which they are countenanced by the
advance in cotton.—Manchester Courier.
