owing to its grrAt.elevation, was
.visible from every part of

wore a red, white, and blue rosette, with a vignette of gold
etters in time eentrf;:, inscribed " Traumere Inkerman Celebra-
ion, 1855." After -the .firework dis Flay, the stewards were
uvited to the house of Mr: W. W.Parrey (who had contributed
£6 toward the fund), le here-they were;provided with the most.
fiberal entertainment by that
_gentleman. Mr. Perrey had

alecorated, in honour .cif the occasion. The stewards after-
words marched in prooossion ,to the Britannia-rooms, Lower

4Gliairman of the Geieboation ,Comtnibtee, . and various
.apprtpriate toasts were drunk. The .committee en-
trusted the getting up of the decorations ,to Mr. Daniel
31:Grums3, for many years decorator .at, the4...eatres of this
town, :cud- he fulfilled his task in a manner that elicited
the,loutl Approbation of all the spectators. •The farmers of
Tramnereeontributed their quota of fuel-to ,time ,bonfire, and
the,varions joiners and builders had been collecting shavings
for sometime, in anticipation of the display. Messrs. Corns
*sad garrison very liberally provided all the wood required
for erecting -the designs. Many parties fill Limerpool also
subscribed to the fund, and contributed fuel.
In conclusion, we may add, that the display was one of the
most complete and picturesque that has ever taken plaee in
this neighbourhood, And will, undoubtedly, be long remem-
bered by those who witnessed it.

DEA= op Two 3,10 AE OF THE STARVED CIIILDREN.+
It must he in the remembrance of all our readers, that
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 Ten-
dered still more miserable by bath 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 now 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 inmost 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,—Manchesfer Courier.
