THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.

The usual weekly meeting of this body was held
yesterday, at the Town-hall. Alderman Dover pre-
sided ; and the other members present were—Messrs.
Beckwith, Haydeck, Bowring, Steel, Job, and Barton.
The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyor, and In-
spector of Nuisances reported various particulars of the
operations in their several departments during the week,
from which it appeared that 210 nuisances complaitild
of by inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken
to remedy; 963 houses in the unhealthiest districts, con-
taining 3,171 apartments and 491 cellars, had been put
under examination, with the view of improving their
sanitary condition.
Dr. Cameron, acting for the Medical Officer of Health,
reported that the deaths in the borough during the past
week were 163, being 54 less than the corrected average
of the corresponding week for the last ten years. Zymotio
diseases had caused 23 deaths, of which 7 were from
diarrhoea, 3 simple fever, 2 typhus, 2 scarlatina, and 9.
measles; diseases of the brain had caused 16 deaths ;
diseases of the lungs, 45 ; convulsions, 13 ; dentition 2;
diseases of the heart, 4 ; liver, 4 ; dropsy, 3 ; diphtheria.
4; debility and decay of nature, 26.
Dr. CAMERON, in answer to Mr. Job, stated that the
fifty-four deaths were fewer than the average corrected
for the increase of population.

The CHARMAN said there was an extraordinary de-
crease. In Scotland he fancied that the mortality was
on the increase.

Mr. BECK.WTTH—What is the annual increase of the
population of Liverpool ?
Dr. CAMERON could not say. The calculations were
all made by Dr. Duncan, and he himself simply dreg
the comparison.
Mr. Jou ocalca ottoution to tLo ♦l.ae the Dotting
up of three.large lamps, with a circular place of refuge
for foot passengers to each, had been already sanctioned--
one at the end of West Derby-road (where the alters'
tions are in progress), another at the top of Bold-street,
and the third at the Prince's Landing-stage. The alte-
rations were now so far completed, that the lamp in the
West Derby-road might be proceeded with. With
regard to the top of Bold-street, the removal of that
portion of St. Luke's railings fronting Berry-street had been
decided upon. The work had been already commenced, so
that the lamp might also be proceeded with. With regard
to the Prince's Landing-stage, it was the opinion of the
commitee that nothing should be done there till the
paving had been relaid.

-The necessary authority for the erection of the twe
lamps mentioned was conceded ; and from a conversation
which followed it appears that the railing will be
recessed at each end of the front of the church, and
that the footpath at the corner of Leece-street and
Berry-street will be rounded.

The remaining business waa merely routine, and after
a short sitting the committee adjourned.

THE MOORS.

We arc now within a month of the 12th of August.
Sportsmen are already making their appearance in the
north, and there is a fair demand for grouse-shootings
in all parts of the islands. The most critical season of
the year for the young birds is just over. The hatching
of the broods takes place during the first eight days of
June, and from that time till the end of the month good
or bad weather affects materially the rearing of full
coveys. In the north of Scotland, and particularly in
this neighbourhood, we have been singularly fortunate
in the, weather. While rain fell in torrents in England)
and the south of Scotland, flooding all the low grounds,
and destroying the nests of partridges, an,d: pheasan,ts, in
the agricultural districts, we bad npt more rain than
usual, and none. to cause destruction among the grouse.
The weather was neither too moist nor too dry—not too
hot nor too cold. The consequence is, that coveys are
numerous, and the birds strong, giving the promise of
good sport next mouth.—lnverness Courier.

The appearance of the moors of Northumheriand
anything but agreeable to the "keen sportsman,'' who,
looks upon the 12th of August as the reddest day in the
whole calendar. The, heather looks very indifferent
indeed, although little else could have been expected
from the long and severe winter. The few flue days of
this week, howeve'r, have had a very favourable influence
upon the heather; and we trust that before the coin-
menceiont of the season it will have put on its wonted
hue. The prospects of sport fox the opening out of the
shooting are, we regret to say, very poor. There co
now be no 4"bt bat that there is a very bad crop of
gTotkse_worse than there kw been—a great number of
the young birds havesbeen destroyed by the storm that
prevailed in the north on Whit-Monday. Partridges
generally look very well, and it is expected that there
will be a capital season. The broods are large, and, in
consequence of the lateness of the iay season, they will
get well "run,"—Nowefislie Ch,zlWolie.
