WAVERTREE BOARD OF HEALTH.

THE monthly meeting of this board was held last night, in
the Public Offices; the Rev. W. Badnall occupying the chair.
There were likewise present Messrs. Halhead, Hill, Bradburn,
Clark, Gore, Chaffers, and Rishton.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap-

proved of; after wEich the business of the meeting chiefly

consisted of the reading of communications from inhabitants
of the township, generally complaining of some matter or
other, the neglect of which occasioned inconvenience or detri-
ment to the complainants.
LIGHTING PIQUE-LINE.—A memorial was read from the
inhabitants of this district of the township, complaining that
although the attention of the board had several years ago
been called to the fact that no public lamps had been put up
in Pique-lane, or, as it was also called, Dryden-road, while the
Liverpool Gaslight Company's mains had been long laid down
in the lane, and craving that public lamps might be put up
before winter sets in.

In reference to this memorial, it was explained that, the
expediency of erecting lamps wherever the gas mains had
been laid down, and such lamps should be applied for, had
been long ago agreed to.
Mr. HALHEAD then moved, and Mr. CHAFFERS seconded
the motion, that lamps be put up in the quarter now applied
for.

Ma. PICTON'S SEAT AT TUE BOARD.—Mr. PICTON, at this
stage of the proceedings, entered the board-room, and ex-
plained that he had come in consequence of a note he had re-
ceived from the Law-clerk of the board, intimating that from
protracted absence from the meetings he had forfeited his seat
at the board. He said he did not know exactly how the
matter stood, but that be had not abstained voluntarily from
attending, he having for some time been prevented by pressing
business. Still he did not think he had been so long absent
as to forfeit his seat.

Mr. ATIEERTON, the Law-clerk, explained that the statute
declared any seat forfeited, the occupant of which had been
absent for three consecutive months. He also, by reference
to the minute-book, showed that Mr. Picton had not attended
any meeting for three and a half months.

PicioN then made his obeisance to the chairman, and
retired.

The CHAIRMAN expressed regret that the board should be
deprived of the valuable services of Mr. Picton, who had, he
said, proved himself one of the most useful of its members.
He suggested that some expression of this feeling should be
made by the board.
Mr. RrsiiToN said such a course would be altogether
irregular and a bad precedent. When a gentleman was
elected to fill any office, he was of course expected to dis-
charge its duties. The matter then dropped.
On .a representation from George Williams, one of the
lamp-lighters, his wages were raised from 12s. to 14s. per
'week.

Parliament will be prorogued to-day, by commission, at two
o'clock. Both houses will meet about half-past one o'clock.
The Post says Her Majesty will no doubt take the opPc,r_
tunity of expressing her regret that the endeavours of tnc
allied powers have been unsuccessful in passing a pacific sokv
tion, and the Conferences at Vienna necessarily broken up. ~,
"Under these circumstances it is obvious that the Queen Wu',
state explicitly and firmly her resolution, with the aid
parliament and the country, to prosecute the war with 0t

vigour that alone can ensure an honourable and perma
peace.
In all probability the speech will make reference toth!
addition of the King of Sardinia to the "Western Alliance, and
will congratulate parliament on the continued cordiality
which pervades all our relations with France, and her 1%104
may be expected to make some reference to events so remark;
able as her interchange of visits between her imperial ally anh"
herself. Reference to the measures of domestic policy, whic ;
have been adopted by the Lords and Commons, during t,l?,
past session, will of course be introduced, and her IVlajesty
doubtless, thank her faithful Commons, for the readiness
wita
which they have voted the supplies necessary for the proseca;
tion of the war. The public may also look for some allusi9_
to the improvement in the health and comfort of the forc3s
the Crimea since her Majesty has met her parliament for c
congratulatory reference, to the improvements recently Latta'
duced into our military system.

THE WAR.

DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON.

The Gazette contains a despatch from General Simpson
dated 31st July.

Notwithstanding the rocky nature of the ground and light-
ness of the nights, the works were steadily though slowly
advanced in the direction of the Redan.

An agreeable change had taken place in the weather ; heavy
showers of rain had occasionally fallen.

Several reconnaissances had been made from the Valley of
Baidar towards Ozenbash, Aitodor, and through Phoros Pass
towards Allupka—the enemy nowhere appearing in any force;
but the narrowness of the mountain road, with the exception
of the Woronzow, makes it unnecessary for them to alter their
concentrated position on the heights of Mackenzie and the
Plateau of the Belbeck.
Health of the troops continued satisfactory.

Casualties from 27th to 29th July, inclusive .—Killed, 1
sergeant and 11 rank and file. Wounded, Lieut. A. Goren,
19th, slightly; Captain L. Thornton, 44th, slightly; Major O.
F. Campbell, 40th, slightly; Captain N. Steevens, 88th,
slightly; Assistant-Surgeon E. Lundy, 79th, slightly; 2 sere.
geants, and 10G rank and file.

Prince Gortschakoff telegraphs on the 9th There is
nothing new. The fire of the enemy is weak.!'

The Times' Paris correspondent writes :—" A private letter
from St. Petersburg mentions that great depression prevails
among all classes in that city, owing to the duration of the
war, which completely paralyses all branches of commerce and
industry. This depression has gained even the leading per-
sonages of the old Russian party, hitherto so warlike, but who
are now beginning to despond. Nearly all labour is suspended
in tlie manufacturing quarters, in consequence of the want of
primary materials, which no longer arrive from abroad, and
also from the want of hands—all being employed in the defence
of the empire. The produce of the soil has no longer a market
abroad, and in the interior business is at a stand still, and
articles of the most indispensable kind have attained an exor-
bitant price. Coffee, sugar, and salt are now luxuries hardly
to be seen, except on the sacrifice of money imposed by the
present circumstances; and the number of Bayards who will
be ruined by the war is beyond all idea."

perfect perception of right and wrong. They are both
Incumbents, and, consequently, are in the receipt of
incomes, to the possession of which they were admitted
upon the strength of certain oaths and declarati):l3,to
which their letters prove that they pay no regard.
They continue to eat the Church's bread, while they
deny what they admit to be her doctrine, and violate
her pfecepts. How different the conduct of those
Scottish Ministers who first constituted the Free
Kirk ! Little as we sympathise with their principles,
we have always respected them as honest men—as
men who proved their honesty by giving up their all
rather than sacrifice their principles : and little as we
sympathise with their views and principles who
deprave the Book of Common Prayer, still we should
respect their honesty if they relinquished those
material advantages of which they obtained possession
by, int,2). cilia, declaring their assent and consent to
the said book. We repeat, they must be wilfully dis-
honest, or else be endowed with a very low perception
of right and wrong ; and, until we have proof of the
former, we are but too glad to suppose the latter.
But besides these, there are clergymen who, hold-
ing certain doctrines, profess their conviction that the
Prayer Book really contains the same : only they
admit that there are some things in it which are capa-
ble of being differently understood, and, therefore, to
prevent mistakes they wish these parts to be altered.
These men occupy a position widely different to that
of the others : they do not deprave the Book of Com-
mon Prayer—on the contrary, they contend that its
doctrines are identical with those truths which them-
selves maintain and teach. All that they complain of
is, that some things arc not quite so clearly ex-
pressed as they might be. In all this they may be
mistaken, and yet be perfectly honest ; but, supposing
theni to be perfectly correct—supposing their doctrines
to be orthodox, and their interpretation of the Prayer
Book the true one, still we are prepared to maintain
that their course is an unwise one, and that if they
could carry out the objects which they have in view
they would do infinite mischief. Of all those who are
discontented with the Prayer Book as it is, it would
be difficult perhaps to find half-a-dozen who would be
contented with the same amount of alteration. We
have not the slightest fear of any alterations, such as
are proposed, ever being accomplished : but we dread
any serious attempt to accomplish them, as calculated
to cause a degree of excitement and animosity, which
cannot but be prejudicial to the best interests of the
Church at large. We must defer till next week any
more particular notice of the papers to which we have
already referred, when we shall endeavour to show
the dangerous and objectionable character of the
Society in question, or rather of the objects which it
proposes to accomplish.

CHARLES MATHEWS AND LADY

BLESSINGTON.

THE following jocose letter from Charles
Mathews to Lady Blessington is given among her
ladyship's correspondence in Madden's " Me-
moirs :"

" Torre del Annunciato, Napoli,
Wednesday Evening.
[1824.]—" DEAR LADY BLESSINGTON,—OR
Wednesday last, at half-past twelve o'clock pre-
cisely, we started from Pompeii, and arrived in
excellent health, covered with dust, hoping your
ladyship is the same. After a scientific walk
through a few of the houses, we returned to our
quarters, and sat down to dinner, which we per-
formed with ease in less than five-and-thirty
minutes. We then went to bed, thinking that
the best way of passing the evening, and though
we had no curtained sleep,' we managed un-
commonly well, and it perfectly answered our
purpose. Angell says that I snored ; but persons
are very fond of throwing their own sins upon the
backs, or rather the noses, of others. _ _

" On the following morning, at break of day,
we were again at Pompeii, and spent the whole
of the day in combining, analyzing, and arranging
our plan of study. The result was this, that we
found nothing in the whole city worthy of being
measured and drawn architecturally' (by which
I mean outlined with the scrupulous accuracy of
measurement usually adopted by architects) ex-
cept the two theatres and the amphitheatre,
picturesque sketches and notes of the other sub-
jects of interest being quite sufficient for our
object.
" On Friday morning we commenced, and by
our united efforts have completed the measure-
ment of the small theatre, which, by the by, was
unquestionably an odium. We are now engaged
upon the other, which I hope to see concluded in
three days ; from all which it appears probable
that I shall have the happiness of seeing you all

Mr. E. begs to state that, in producing a really good Daguer-
reotype, a combination of appliances and favourable circum
stances are required, deprived of which the Art sinks to the
insignificance justly belonging to the very many wretched dis-
torted abortions, claiming the name of Photographs, and are to
be seen in almost every street.
Mr. E.'a long practice in the above Art has resulted in the pro-
duction of Portraits as much superior to the ordinary Photograph
as the leading artist is to the street miniature painter.

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, Auo. 10.—The demand for beet has been more
extensive this week than for some time past ; purchasers confine
themselves, however, to their immediate wants. Prices remain
unchanged. In pork, also, we have to note more activity, a con-
siderable business having been transacted at a slight concession
in price. Bacon has moved off pretty freely at full rates, and the
stock in first hands is becoming fast reduced. The sales of lard
have been very limited, even at a reduction of 3d to 6d per cwt.
Choice parcels of cheese are readily sold at extreme prices, whilst
middling and inferior sorts are very hard to quit. Grease butter
is in request, but there is very little here.
AUGUST 13.—Tnere was only a limited amount of business
transacted in butter last week, but owing to the continued high
advices from Ireland holders are pretty firm, and no alteration
can be made in the quotations of our last report. Waterford,
Dungarvon, Carrick, and Clonmel, 95s to 995; Kilkenny, Carlow,
and Wexford, 94s to 96s ; and Limerick, 88s to 94s per cwt.
landed. Imported from Ireland, front the 4th to the 9th instant,
