THE BRAZILIAN ROYAL MAIL STEAM NAVIGATION
COMPANY.—Most flattering testimonials from the pas-
sengers who sailed with him in his last homeward
voyage, have been presented to Captain Richard Eus-
tice, of the screw-steamer Jason, now lying in Haskisson
Dock. The Jason is one of the noble fleet of the above
company, appointed henceforth to sail from LiverpoOl
to the Brazils. These speak in the highest terms of
Captain Eustice's kindness and courtesy to those en-
trusted to his care.

BunGLAuv.—On Wednesday night, or early on Thurs-
day morning, the cellar of the house No. 34, Roscoe-street
was broken into, and a quantity of clothes, the property
of several individuals, stolen therefrom. The thieves
entered by forcing the lock and staple of the door. The
articles were left for the purpose of being mangled, and
we regret to say that the poor woman in whose charge
they were can ill afford to make good the loss, as she
obtains a livelihood for herself and husband, who is a
cripple, by what she can earn at mangling clothes.

LIVERPOOL INSTITUTE.—The annual examinations
of the two schools connected with this institute were
held yesterday, between the hours of ten and one. The
various class-rooms were thrown open for inspection by
the public, and the pupils were examined in all the
subjects which are taught at the institute. There was
a numerous and fashionable attendance, and the rooms
were thronged throughout the day. Each of the
departments is so well conducted at this excellent insti-
tution that it is altogether unnecessary to particularise.
Great satisfaction was expressed with the able manner
in which the system of teachiug is carried out, and with
the efficiency of each of the classes. The examination
is to be continued to-day. This evening there will be
a meeting in the Lecture-hall for the distribution of
prizes.

HEALTH COMMITTEE.—The usual weekly meeting of
this committee was held yesterday. Alderman Dover
presided, and the following gentlemen were present :
Messrs. Beckwith, Sheil, Haydock, Holden, Nickson,
Ridley, Job, Bowring, Steel, Barton, and Crellin. The
borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspector of
nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations
in their several departments during the week, from which
it appeared that 212 nuisances complained of by inha-
bitants had been inspected, and means taken to remedy

them; 1,287 houses in the unhealthiest districts, con-
taining 3,901 apartments and 615 cellars, had been put
under examination with a view of improving their sani-
tary condition. The medical officer gave in the usual
report of the number and causes of death during the
week. The other business was of the usual routine
character.

CRUELTY ON BOARD SHlP.—Thomas Gergin, third
mate of the Harvest Queen, was brought up yesterday
at the Birkenhead Police-court, before the Rev. Mr.
Fielding and Mr. J. B. Case, charged with assaulting
Henry Barker and other seamen on board the vessel.
It appears that a regularly systematic mode had been
pursued of illusing all the seamen on board the vessel,
and when the ship came into the river the prosecutor
swam ashore, and obtained a warrant for the apprehen-
sion of the prisoner. Some difficulty was. experienced
in executing the warrant. The officers on board the
vessel refused to point the prisoner out ; the men were
intimidated against doing so. The superintendent
of the county force obtained the assistance of some
of the • men of the Majestic, line-of-battle ship,
and the prisoner was ultimately apprehended. There
was no corroborative evidence to substantiate the charge,
and therefore the prisoner was dismissed. The vessel
will get into dock in a day or two, when the men will
receive their discharge. What course they will then
pursue with regard to the officers is, of course, not
known. Probably the charges will be preferred before
the Liverpool stipendiary magistrate.
