THE GIPSY BRIDE, which sailed for Melbourne on Monday,
was reported off Waterford at five o'clock, on Wednesday
morning, wind S.W., and would clear the Irish land that day.
All well on board—no sea sickness.
THE NEW STEAM-SHIP CITY OP WASHINGTON, originally
built for the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steam Company,
sailed from Greenock on Thursday for Marseilles, having been
purchased as a transport by the French government.
A RESERVOIR for water has just been finished at Higher
Stack, Bacup, Rossendale. Its length is 453 feet, breadth
330 feet, depth 25 feet, and it is calculated to contain nearly
800,000,000 cubic feet of water. The embankments are 150
feet broad at the bottom, and 14 feet at the top.

AN experiment is making at Manchester to filter the water
of the river Medlock, which has long been a filthy abomina-
tion, and has polluted the Bridgewater Canal, of which it is
the principal feeder. The mode of filtration adopted is to pass
the water through lime, and it is said that the experiment is
likely to prove successful.
DRAWINGS BY THE ROYAL FAMILY.—The drawings exhi-
bited at Burlington-house, in London, last season, by the
members of the royal family, in aid of the fund for the relief of
the widows and orphans of officers engaged in the war with
Russia, will be on view this week at Mr. Grundy's, in Church-
street. Several other drawings, by eminent amateurs, will
also be exhibited with them.

LODGING-HOUSES IN MANCHESTER.— From Captain Willis's
returns, it appears that at the end of last year there were 393
low lodging-houses and cellars in that city ; 355 being houses,
and 38 cellars. There were 56 of the houses or cellars known
to be the resort of thieves, 255 the resort of poor travellers and
mendicants, and 72 the resort of hawkers. In 200 of the places
the sexes slept indiscriminately in the same room.
JUVENILE REFORMATORY.—The Admiralty has placed the
Akbar, an old frigate of the fourth rate, formerly employed as
a lazaretto ship, at the disposal of the Reformatory Committee.
This ship has been taken into the Great Float, at Birkenhead,
where she is now undergoing the necessary alterations to
adapt her to the objects for which she is destined. She is ex-
pected to be ready for occupation as a training school for boys
in three weeks or a month.
ACCIDENT TO 'THE MAIL STEAMER LLEWELLYN.—Soon
after four o'clock on Saturday morning (the weather at the
time being thick bnt moderate), the ship Lady Sale, from
Liverpool for Maranham, struck the Llewellyn before the pad-
dle-box, carrying away the foremast and damaging the hull to
some extent. After ascertaining the extent of the damage,
the steamer proceeded for Kingstown, and landed the mails
about an heur after the usual time. In the course of the
morning the Llewellyn proceeded to Holyhead to repair
damage.
THE HIGH-LEVEL RAILWAY.—In accordance with the re-
solution of the Dock Committee, workmen have taken down a
portion of the wall at the Wellington Dock, to erect the girder
bridge continuing the line of railway to the north docks. The
line already reaches the east side of Waterloo-road, and within
the dock walls most of the arches are sprung. The bridge
icgl cross the road by a noble span, and will rest on substan-
tial stone piers on each side of the read, one of which is al-
ready built.
BURGLARY AT WINDLE.—John Rigbye, Geo. Rigbye, and
James Leyland, were charged before the St. Helen's magistrates,
on Wednesday, with having, on the night of Sunday, the 9th
instant, broken into the house of-John Melding, labourer, at
Island's Brow, in Windle, and stolen a Linsey petticoat and a
piece of gingham. The prisoners, who had their faces blacked,
made an attempt almost immediately after to break into a
beerhouse, at Blackbrook, keptlley a man named Thomas Gore.
The alarm was given and the prisoners were apprehended.
John Rigbye, it was stated, was a returned convict on a
ticket of leave. They were committed for trial at the assizes.
—Leyland was also committed for trial at the Kirkdale ses-
sions, on a charge of stealing five pumping buckets, two hose,
and five callipers.

BANKRUPTCY OF AN OFFICLA.L MEssaNGER.—On nitlay,
James Augustus Harding, an insolvent, who, from the
passing of the bankrupt 'law consolidation act, has filled 'the
office of official messenger in the Manchester Court of Bank-
ruptcy, came up before John Addison, Esq., the commissiener
of insolvents at Lancaster, for the purpose of applying for his
discharge from custody. The commissioner, in giving.ijudg-
ment, said he had some sort of compassion for a man 'with a
numerous family, but no one could justify the conduct of a
public officer in not seeping accounts, and he thought that
justice would be satisfied by his remanding the insolvent for
four months from the date of his vesting order.
OMNIBUS CRUELTY.—On Monday, Messrs. W. and D.
Busby, 'bus and‘ear proprietors, were summoned before Mr.
Mansfield for crueltyto a horse, in working it in harness with
a raw shoulder. The offence was proved by a police-officer.
Mr. Mansfield-: " They are the worst used horses :in Liver-
pool.' I have heaid people frequently complain of them, and
I have seen thenrin a shocking state myself. There must be
a fine of 10s. and costs." A second information was then
preferred against the same parties for a precisily similar
offence. Mr. Busby said : " There is a term in the summons
that I don't understand. It is wantonly ill•using: " Mr.
Mansfield : "That is, cruelty without a cause. There must be
a similar fine in this case.

AccinEwT /To TTHE MoNA's QUEEN.—The steam-packet
Mona's Queen, in her returning excursion from Queenstown
to Douglas, rannpon some sunken rocks just off Scarlet Point,
not far from (_,stletown Bay, at about half-past one o'clock on
Friday morning. She was running at full speed at the time of
the accident, and the shock in consequence was 'very severe.
The alarm on board was great, and attempts weremade by the
passengers.tollower the boats ; but they were prevented by the
crew and the chief mate, Mr. Robinson, whose conduct, in the
absence of Capt: Quayle, was very praiseworthy. They endea-
voured to .get'her off, but this for three hours was found to be
impossible, .and-she drifted backwards and forwards off the
Point. At:length the tide enabled her to float ont of Castle-
town Bay., having previously cast her anchor, ty means of
which her stern was brought gradually round. In conse-
quence of the accident she was prevented coming-to Liverpool
on Saturdarmorning, and the Ben Machree had-to take her
place. The -Manx Fairy, which had an excursioav trip at the
same time, also got out of her course, but she kept more out
to sea.

WEST Danny GUARDIANS.—The weekly -meeting was
held on Wednesday, the Rev. Mr. Badnall in the chair. Mr.
Mann •reported that the number of patients in the union
hospital was-53 against 57 in the corresponding period of last
year. The inmates in the house last week were 590; admitted,
21; ,aischarged,tl3.; dead, 6 ; remaining in the house, 593 this
week, against 557 in the corresponding week of last year.
The 'visiting •tommittee reported that, in pursuance of
a resolution of:the board last week, they had inquired into
the misunderstanding bewe3n Mr. Collyns, a Dish priest,
and Mr. tGough, the master of the workhouse; and, after
having heard the ,evidence, they found that it eonfirmed the
statement of Mr. Gough in his letter of the -20th ultimo.
Mr. Shaw moved the adoption of the report, which was
unanimously adopted.—The following return of the balances
due to the union -from the several townships, on qhe 18th
September, was presented :—Great Crosby, £3413 6s. Bd.
Everton, £404 ,6s. Bd. ; Kerby, £53 19s. 2d. ; airkdale,
£176 ,Ss. Bd. • Orrell and Ford, £4 is. ; Sephton, £7 13s. 4d. ;
Thornton, • Os. -8c1.; Toxteth-park, £3499 18s. 4d. ; West
Derby, £1356 3s. 31..; -total, £5872 is. 9d.—The board then
adjourned.
Pnorosnn INCREASE.OP DocK RATES.—At the meeting of
the Dock Committee on Thursday, after the public 'business,
the Chairman brought -forward a financial statement for the
year ending.the 30th of .11une next. He showed an-estimate
of the expenditure for the year, including £200,000 for new
works and the repair of , existing works ; and taking 'the in-
come of the ,present year at the same amount as last year,
there would probably be a deficiency of upwards of £lB,OOO in
the receipts as compared with the expenditure. In order to
meet this deficiency it was presumed that it would be:neces-
sary to increase the dock rates on ships and goods to the ex-
tent of ten portent. A member of the committee thought
that the Chairman had over-estimated the deficiency, which was
not likely to lbe more than £12,000. Mr. Evans thought it
would have been well if the committee had taken their petu-
niary position4nto consideration before they had made the
purchases of land from the Earl•of Derby and Mr. J. S. Leigh.
These purchases amounted to £E40,000, the interest on which
was £12,000 per annum, and the bargain was completed in the
face of the-fact that the land cannot be made available for the
purposes of the dock estate for some years to come. These
startling revelations took most of the members by surprise,
and the discussion of-the subjectwas deferred till next Thins-
day.—Mercury.
HEALTH CombursEE.—The heath committee met on
Thursday in the Council-chamber, at the Town-hall ; Alder-
man Dover in the chair. The other members present were
Messrs. Beckwith, •Crosthwaite, Shell, Johnson, 3/Muffle,
Godfrey, Halhead, Robertson Gladstone, and Hodson. The
borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspector of
nuisances reported various particulars:of the operations in
their several departments during the week. The medical
officer of health reported that in -the week ending last
Saturday 223 deaths were registered in Liverpool, of which
163 were in the parish, and 60 in the out-townships. This
shows a decrease of 10 per, tent. in the mortality as compared
with the same week in former years in which no epidemic was
prevalent. Mr. John Leach requested .the committee to
sanction the construction of a slaughter-house in a yard in
Gore-street North, Scotland-road. This site was sanctioned
by the committee in August, 1853, but, some unavoidable
delay having taken placee, the work had not yet been com-
menced. The consideration of the application was deferred
for a week, in order that the officers of the committee might
inspect the site, and report. The other business before the
committee was unimportant.
AN INQUEST was held on Saturday, on the body of an
infant named Robert Price, who had died under the following
circumstances :—The parents of the child occupy a house in
Nile-street, Toxteth-park. The deceased was born on Thurs-
day, the 6th instant, and in the course of the day the doctor
ordered it to have a dose of castor oil. A girl in the room was
told that she would find a bottle containing oil on a shelf
down stairs. On going to the place she found two bottles, a
small one containing vitriol, having been placed there some
time previously by the father, who at this time sat in the
kitchen, but made no attempt to ascertain whether the girl
had got the right bottle. Up-stairs went the girl, who gave
the bottle to a woman in the room, and the nurse asked her
to pour out half a tea spoonful. This was done, and the nurse
poured some into the child's mouth. The infant screamed,
and the nurse then put the spoon to her own lips, which were
burnt by the touch. The doctor was sent for, and every
attention was paid to the child, which lingered in dreadful
torture until Thursday, when it died. The jury returned a
verdict of " Chance medley," which the coroner said was as
near as possible to manslaughter, and had been passed as a
mark of censure upon the nurse for not using more care on
the occasion. He wondered her nose had not detected the
difference between castor oil and sulphuric acid.
A SUSPICIOUS HELHET.—On Friday, at an early hour,
Mr. John Clivens, who keeps a public-house in Whitechapel,
was met on Shaw's-brow by Sergeant Austin, of the 36th
Foot, who is on recruiting service. Mr. Clivens was in or-
dinary attire, with the exception of his head-dress, which con-
sisted of a brass helmet and plume of the Royal Dragoon,
Guards. The sergeant asked the wearer how he became pos-
sessed of it. Mr. Clivens said he had been celebrating the
victory of the Alma with a friend, who had lent him the
helmet on the condition that he walked home with it on his
head. The sergeant and a police-officer accompanied him to
the house of Mr. John Lee, 13, Boundary-place, where they
found a pair of Royal Dragoon uniform trousers, some cap
boxes and ordnance caps, a Liverpool policeman's baton, and
other articles. Believing that no person out of the army had
a right to possess such things, Sergeant Austin gave Mr.
Clivens and Mr. Lee into custody, and they were brought up
at the Police-court, on Friday. Mr. Lee stated that the
clothes and accoutrements had been sent to him, as a relic of
the war, by his brother, a sergeant-major in the Royal Dra-
goon Guards, and he produced a letter from him, dated " On
board the transport ship Wilson Kennedy, Bosphorus, Oct.
22, 1854." Upon this both parties were discharged? and the
property given up to them,

THE Pacific, Capt. Nye, sailed hence for New York, on
Saturday, with the mails and about 180 passengers.
THE QUEEN has appointed the Earl of Ellesmere Lord
Lieutenant of Lancashire.

Mr. John B. Randleson and Mr. Patrick Walsh have been
appointed tidewaiters at this port.
THE local authorities have been consulted as to the advisa-
bility of the judges trying civil as well as criminal causes at
the winter assizes.

THE Rev. Dr. Vis'elle preached in the open air on Monday
evening last, in the vacant ground near St. Paul's Church,
Prince's park.
PUBLIC LECTURE.—We refer our readers to an advertise-
ment in anOther column, announcing a lecture, this evening,
on the Trial of the Bishops in the reign of James the Second.
THE CHILDREN OF THE CALEDONIAN SCHOOL, to the
number of 300, were conveyed across the Mersey and back,
free of cost, by the bounty of Messrs. Willoughby, on Wed-
nesday.
EMBEZZLEMENT.—On Saturday, at the police-court, before
Mr. Smith, Robert Stevenson, remanded from that day week,
charged with intercepting a post-office order for £4 45., di-
rected to Mr. Baugh, mar manufacturer, was committed for
trial, having stated to Inspector Murphy that he had stolen
the letter, signed the order, and drawn the money.

THE TELEGRAPH steamer, which was employed on account
of her rapid sailing qualities to bring General Simpson's recent
dispatch from'the seat of war, is chartered by the Admiralty
from Messrs. Grainger, Bristow, and Johnson, of Liverpool,
and formerly traded between Belfast and this port. The
fastest steamers, whether screw or paddle, which have been
employed in the transport service since the commencement of
the war, have been taken from Liverpool.
THE LIVERPOOL PERsloNEßs.—During the last few days
this local corps has been undergoing the usual term of drill,
on the vacant ground at the top of Hill•street, Toxteth park.
The drill has been under the direction of Colonel Swan, and
the term, being seven days, was completed on Wednesday.
On that day the men marched through the town and drew up
on the Exchange flags, where their band played a variety of
popular music, including the English and French national
anthems.

WORKHOUSE ACCOMMODATION IN LANCASHIRE.—A series
of important returns has just been issued, showing the popu-
lation of every union or parish in the kingdom, according to
the last census, and the amount of workhouse accommodation
therein on the 31st of Dec. last. Lancashire, with its enor-
mous population of 2,094,800, has workhouse accommodation
for 17,282, or about 1-120th of the.population ; the proportion
of workhouse accommodation to the population of all England
being about an eightieth. Liverpool (population 258,236) has
workhouse accommodation for 4,096 including accommodation
for 1,250 at the Industrial Schools, at Kirkdale. This is in the
proportion of about 1-65th part of the population. West
Derby, with a population of 153,243, has workhouse accom-
modation for 900 persons, which is a much less proportion than
Liverpool, or even than the entire county.
THE ROYAL MERSEY YACHT ann.—The yachting season•
was closed on Saturday, when the several craft belonging to
this club had their final cruise this year. The weather was
fine, and a gentle breeze from the northward scarcely caused
a ripple upon the water. Although not sufficient wind for a
race, there was just enough for a pleasure excursion, and each
yacht had a party of friends on board. About eleven o'clock,
in pursuance of arrangement, several beautiful craft worked
down the river with the ebb tide, and hawled their foresails
to windward, off New Brighton—The place of rendezvous.
Amongst them were the following :—Rosalind, N. Burchell,
Esq. ; Nimrod, H. Brideson, Esq. - Jasper, J. Clarke, Esq. ;
Simber, T. Brassey, jun., Esq. -,Sea Bird, H. Melling. Esq.:;
Blue Bell, R. W. Grenell, Esq. ; Electric, Williamson,
Esq.; Mirage, G. R. Woodward, Esq., &c. On a signal from
the commodore's yacht, the foresails were let go, and the fleet
proceeded to sea in beautiful style. About midday, however,
the weather became hazy, and the wind did not increase.
Nevertheless, the yachts continued their cruise seaward, and
a very pleasant cruise was -enjoyed. They returned: in
the evening, and came to -off Birkenhead Ferry, their usual
place of anchorage, where they were gaily dressed" with
bunting. On board some of the larger yachts there were
dinner-parties, and the yachting season of 1855 was thus
terminated.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON JUNCTION RAILWAY.—The
report of the directors of this company states that the net re-
venue for the past half--year amounts to £26,620, which, after
paying the interest of the unliquidated debt and other tnitgo-
ings, will provide a dividend on the share capital little short of
9 per cent. per annum. 'To proceed with the capitalization of
the mortgage debt, afurther call of £1 15s. per share will be
made on the £ll ss. shares, and the same will be due on the'
31st of Oct. next. The future meetings of the company will
be held at the Castle station, Lancaster, where the new offices
are now nearly completed. This arrangement will be attended
with a saving of aboutone-half of what has hitherto'been'paid
as rent for the premises now occupied. The directors recom-
ment a dividend of £2 Is. 3d. per whole share, of 21 7s. 4d.
per three-quarter share, of 10s. 10d. per quarter share, of 3s.d.
per twelfth share, and of ls. 9d. per new £ll ss. shares, less
Income-tax. The receipts of the company for the hilf,yerrr
ending the 31st of iluly last amounted to £26,B49,ine.luffing
£9O from the last account, and the expenses to £228, leaving a
balance of £26,e20. Out of this is deducted £21,627 for the
proposed dividend, 'and £1676 interest on borrowed money,
leaving a balance of .2316. The capital account .shows 'that
£478,516 was anthoiisdd to be raised on shares, and £113,000
on loans—total £591;516. The amount actually paid on-shares
was £466,106; the amount not called up, £17;866.; to be
raised in lieu of loans, £108,044; making together £591,516.
In addition to the £466,106 paid up, £62,500 was 'added as 'a
bonus of £l2 10s. per share on the three-quarter-Shares, and
£39,165 as a bonusof £4 14s. per share on the quarter•shares,
making £567,7 .upon which the full dividend is paid. The
total expenditure' on capital account was £465;734. The
mortgage debt account shows a total of £87,300 borrowedl,y
the company.
