WORKS COMMITTEE.

The proceedings of this committee comprised a recom-
mendation. to accept .the tender of Mr. A. Robinson, for
a supply of :picked oakum ; and to accept the tender of
the Chillington Company for a supply of strong cable
iron for making chains, It was also recommended that
a shed should be erected at the east corner of the
Canada timber ground, for the accommodation of the
-labourers employed there, at the estimated cost of £lBO..
to be repaid by the lessees of the different :yards; and'
that the tender 6f Mr: Thomas Robinson be accepted for
the supply of 1,00 tons of iron railway bars, of the
Ebervale Company's manufactilfe, Messrs: Lloyd, Jones,
and N. had written Withdrawing the notice which they
had given to give (up their land on the Harrington
estate and it had been agreed that they should continue
tenants as heretofore.

Mr. linoefailiithi haiing moved the Confirmation
of the proceedings,
Mr. LAIRD said, so far as he Wald heat from 'the
accounts which had been read, there had been about an
equal expenditure of wages for labour on both sides of
;the river—being in one case £2,295, and in the other
£2,286. It was quite evident that the men who ought
to be at work on the .low-water basin had been taken
elsewhere. The IoW-water basin was much behind, and
it Was evident to any , one going over the works at -
Ilitkenhead'that there had been a great slackening of
Work ; and it Was known to all the members ,of the
board that till they had the low Water basin Completed,
altho'ugh they, Might open the Mont; the could not
o have abodt feet 6 inches of
,Water helm+ int' Old dock
sill,. so that it would not be fit for large ships td in.
Looking to the fact that the lOw-:water basinwas, by
the act of Parliament and the agreement entered into' to
hate been completed about this time, it. appeared to
him that they were not doing all they could to comply
with the act, for the anal:hint authbrised to be expended
'at Birkenhead was a Million and a half, and on this
side only £300,000 ; yet they were now expending as
much on the. Liverpool side as at 'Birkenhead.' Any
one going over the works could judge for himself:
Mr. BROCKLEDOK. thought that Mr. Laird should not
draw the inference from the expenditUre for wages
being eqUaLon one side and the other that the works at
Birkenhead were not going on in that satisfactory
manner in which' they ought to he. 'He thought it
might have been desirable, before Mr. Laird had made
such a statetnertif that he should have enquired as to
What was the real state of the case. He (Mr. B.)
apprehended that as they got their works nearer com-
pletion—;that was the great entrances into the float—it
was net possible to employ as large a narnber of men as
When the mole ostensive works were going on. As to
the IoW water basin, he knew that oh the sonth side
they were making every prep'aration they. could for the
purpose of getting in tho Wall. The. subject 3itas,
however, worthy . the consideration of the Works
Committee. He pledged himself that further
inquiry should be made; and if there had been arty
neglect. it should be remedie4 forthwith.
The CHAIRMAN regretted with Mr. Brocklebank-that
Mr. Laird should not have enquired into the circUmstences
of the case. He must remember that the expenditure
on Birkenhead was not. only the two thousand odd
pounds, but that there was a contractor there to whom
they were paying a large sum of money. Surely Mr.
tait4 did not mean to send it forth to the public- that it
With their ddty to do 'lathing on this side of the water.
-Even if it wereVaMible; Whieh he believed it was not,
to transfer the whole of the laboiirers to the other side,
it should be borne in mind that a Considerable portion
of the wages expended here were absoluteiy necessary
to keep the docks in repair; it did not all go for addi-
tional works at the north end of the town. It so hap-
pened that the engineer's state of health obliged him to
be out of 'town; but he could say confidently that he
lead had instructions to push the work on the other side
as fast as he could. He (the chairman) had told him
thig ofef and over pin, and he had told him that he
was doing so to the iitnitist of his power ; but Mr. Laird
wished it to be inferred that ineritt-se they were doing
.some work here, they were not going oil-as fait as they
should at the other side. It was possible; if they stop-
ped everything . here that they might spend about £4OO.
or £5OO. more at Birkenhead; but taking the immense
traffic to be provided for into account, it was unreason-
able, and no one could expect the tremendous works of
this port to, be stopped in order that a small portion
Might be eexpended on. the other side. He could state
positively that the engineer had had instructions from
both the Works Committee and himself individually, to
do all he could ; and they knew Mr. liartlO's honesty.
and straightforwardness of purpose, when he assured
_them that he was doing so. The engineer not being
present, they were placed at a 'disadvantage in giving
answers to questions of this kind.
Mr. RANXIN .could confirm everything- which had
been said-"as to .the anxiety which existed to push the
works on. the other side, and everything was being done.
He thought the 'board sheUld not forget the great
necessities of the steam trade on this.sidbe of the river,
and the absolute necessity existing to push forward the
new deck as quickly as they could. The works in
progress to the north of the. Canada Dock were as abso-
lutely necessary as anything. could be to the estate, for
the water carriers and others were urgent in the appli-
cations for accommodation. So long as Birkenhead
Was not neglected it would be very wrong to delay the
works in progress on this side.
. Mr. LAIRD did not wish to make another speech, hut
simply to comment on a word which the chairman had
Used. He had said that he (fr. Laird) wished it to be
"inferred." Now, he was prepared to prove the state-
ment which he had made, and to go into' the subject
with the Works Committee.
Mr. BROCKLEBAWK replied, that Mr. Laird was a
motnbor or tho Worlso Ci....."22;++00 14,ncole ;.anti ha
not see why he should not have put his questions to the
committee, who were the proper parties to put right
anything which might,be :wrong.- ,
The proceedings were then confirmed, as were also
those of the Warehouse Committee.
The proceedings of the Marine Committee comprised
a recommendation to transmit the thanks of the Board
to all land=owners and others who have permitted and
facilitated the passage of the electric telegraph through
their property; and on the motion of Mr. Mendel,
seconded by Mr. Langton, they were confirmed.
The Pilotage Committee's minutes were next read
and confirmed.

THE DOCKS AND QUAYS COMMITTEE.
The 'proceedings bf this committee 'comprised a recom-,,
mendatton to fix 26 mooring posts on the east quay,'
Brunswick Dock; and another to appropriate.the south-
west corner of the Prince's Basin, and the north side of
the entrance to Tosteth Dock, for the purpose of landing
gunpowder. The mooring; posts, it was estimated,
would coSt.XISO.
Mr. LOCKETT, in moving the confirmation of the
proceedings, was understood to say that the committee
had had under their consideration the fact that fishing
vessels and yachts now went into the graving docks
without paying dues for going in ; but it was thought
that this exemption should cease, and all vessels be made
to pay. He also mentioned that it had become neces-
sary for a time to close the Canning Basin, from the
fact of two large fenders, crushed from a vessel's side,
having sunk and impeded the proper closing of the gate.
Some regulations would .be made as to the size of fenders
llsed.by ships hauling into' dock, which wowld prevent
such an occurrence in future.
Mr. LAIRD referred to some difference, not explained,
which had occurred between the Canard Company and
the board, and said he understood it had been left.to
some parties to.compromise. He trusted no compromise
would be made ; it was a serious matter if they admitted
such a liability as that.:
The CHAIRMAN was sure the Docks and Quays Com-
mittee would do nothing- to compromise the board; but
it was unusual, and would be very detrimental to the
interests of the board, for matters not'ripe for discussion
to be brought forward there.
Mr. MorsnEr, moved that that part of the proceedings
as to the landing of gunpowder should be referred back
for further consideration. He knew that by the Act
they had power to appoint the places named for the
purpose, but there were grave objections to them. From
the first place the powder must pass through one of the
most populods places; and the other, though nearer the
outskirts of the town, adjoined valuable property, and
was still very dangerous. The magazines had been
objected to on account of their supposed danger ; bUt
be thought there was less danger in deposit than in
transit, and there was more danger in the powder pass-
ing through the town than when it was lying in the
magazines.
The CnisinsrAsr said the question had been fully con-
sidered in all its bearings. They must, as far as they
could, do what was desirable for the trade of the port,
at the. same time considering the safety of the inhabi-
tants. With regard to the passage of the powder
through, there were very stringent regulations by law
affecting it, and no doubt these would be enforced, Mr.
Mondel would he aware that there was a good deal of •
powder used in the town and its neighbourhood for
blasting purposes; and it was desirable that it should
he landed as near as possible to the railway stations..
The floating depots were for gunpowder for shipment :
these were for powder to be used in the town or its
immediate neighbourhood. All the matters Mr. Mondel
urged had been considered.
Mr. INformEr. had no doubt of that; but he wished
time to be given for an expression of the public opinion
as to so great a change. There had been no place
assigned for that purpose in the docks before.
Mr. LOCKETT said Mr. Mendel was under a mistake.
The Prince's basin had been used for years for that
purpose.
Mr. DARBicSHIRE—It was landed at the east side
before. This will be at the south-west corner, which it
is thought will be better. The board had power at any
time to alter the places.
Mr. Mosrnm, then consented to withdraw his motion,
and tho proceedings were confirmed.
Mr. ARNOLD, in moving the confirmation of the pro-
ceedings of the Master Porterage Committee, which were
next read, stated that the committee had fixed T'uesday
next to receive a deputation from the Underwriters as
to the appointment of a surveyor.

CO3IMUNICATIONS.

A letter was read from Messrs. D. and C. Buchanan
and Co., calling the attention of the board to the rate
charged in the dock warehouses for sampling East
Indian cotton, which they contended was out of all
proportion to the rates charged in private warehouses,
where it was sampled by their own men.
The letter was referred to the Warehouse Committee.
A communication was next read from Messrs. Spartali
and others, complaining of the non-delivery of a quan-
tity of fustic consigned to them, and which had been
deposited in one of the dock warehouses. This also
was referred to the Warehouse Committee•for enquiry.
Applications for increase of salary were read and
referred, from Joseph Wood, master of the Queen,i
Dock ; Samuel Stevens, gauger at the Albert Dock
Warehouses; and David J. Irving, assistant on the
Holyhead Telegraph Line.
THE OPENING OF THE FREE LIBRARY.

......_...... .... ...___
The CHAIRMAN stated that a letter had been just
received from Mr. Shuttleworth and Dr. Hume, the
secretaries of the arrangements committee, with respect
to the' opening of the Free Library. This he read.
It was an invitation to the hoard to take part in the
procession from the Town-hall, to the Library,---The
Chairman added : There is our meeting en that day.
Mr. LAIRD said he was a member, of the Committee,
but was away from home when the tickets Were appro,

priatcd so' that on-his return, although a member, he
was told that hie' could not get one. (Laughter.)

' fiivour to. send }lfni one as representing are board.
They might meet a little rapier next Thursday, so as to
give liberty fo".lroiegentletiien 'op to attend'.
Mr. LAIRD said they fSittlft meet the day before.
Mr. ARNOLD thought that Ott tit* Thursda_y sufEcient •
members would easily be found to go' through the
• business. • - /t,
Atr. NORTH, the solicitor, said three only were re.)
quired to form a quorum.
Mr. FORWOOD thottbLit was a question, of feeling
with the chairman himself/a to whether he wished the
board to accompany him.
The CHAiR3IAti did not think, So. It was a question
for the toard themselves to determine. Ile' thought it
proper and desirable that they should pay every iitrrk of
respect to Mr. Brown upon an occasion of that kind.
After same further conversation, it was agreed that
the usual weekly meeting should be held at one o'clock
OA Wednesday next, so as to permit such of the mem-
bers as chose to take part in the procession on the fol-
lowing day.
THE CORPORATE PROPERTY AT BIRKENHEAD.

1 • Mr. LAIRD should like to know whether it was com-
petent for the Parliamentary Committee', without special
ntitiee of motion, to give the usual Parliamentary notices
for a bill for the purchase of the reversionary interest of
the Corporation at Birkenhead. He asked for this rea-
son,-11e stw that last Wednesday a report on the
subject had been presented to the. Council, the considera-
tion of which had been deferred till the next meeting,—,
that ine'etiny; not taking place till the 31st of this month.
The Council then brake tip, and they should be too late
to give the usual notices.
The CHAIRMAN said that had °tamed to himself;
and he had seen the solicitor, and instructed him by no
means to let the time pass for giving the necessary
notices. . The notices must be advertised three times.
Mr. NORTH, the solicitor, said the notices must be
given before the 16th of November.

Mr. LAIRD thought the matter was of so much im-
portance that the parliamentary committee should have
the notices published, whether they came to an arrange-
Meat Or not, so that they might proceed if the negotia-
tions should

The CHAIRMAN agreed vtith Mr. Laird, and repeated
that the solicitor lied riceii,ed instructions on the
subject.

VESSELS TN THE TRACK OF TAR FERRY STEAMERS.

Mr. MONDEL said there was a letter from the
manager of the Woodside Ferry sent to the Marine
Comirdittfic, but it was addresSed to the chairman of the
board. lie had not heard it read. It was about vessels
anchoring in the tracli of the ferry steamers. Similar
communications were sent r:ery week, and the com-
mittee did not know what to do With them : they could
not ignore them.
The communication referred to was read. it wit-
tained simply a list of vessels which had anchored
during the week in the track of the ferry steamers.
The CHAIRMAN—It is the usual weekly letter.
Mr. MoNDEL—It is addressed to you.

Mr. SHAND —ls it lithographed ?.
Mr. MoNotr, said the managor of the Ferry Com-
mittee assumed a position towards that board which
was hardly justifiable, and he hardly knew how the
committee should treat such letters.

The CHAinStax—They, gentlemen, call attention to
the facts, And you give them the attention they deserve.
If there is anything in the letters which requires notice,
no doubt yoti will give attention to them.
Mr. Mor nEL thought, as one of the Pilots Committee,
the proper answer Would be to give a renewed order to
pilots to avoid the prescribed bounds.
Mr. LAIRD thought it was very evident why the
letters were sent. The board had full power to keep
that track clear; and he thought the Commissioners
were entitled to give a weekly notice, so that if an acci-
dent occurred the board could not say they were igno-
rant of the state of matters.

Mr. MONDEL made some reply which we did not
distinctly bear, and
This closed the public business.

THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.

The usual weekly meeting of this committee was held
at the Town-hall yesterday. Mr. Alderman Dover pre-
sided. The other members of the committee present
were—Messrs. Sheil, ereilin, Haydock, Ridley, Nickson,
Bowring, Steel, Job, Stitt, and Barton.
The minutes of the last meeting having been con-
firmed, the following reports were read :—The Borough
engineer, Building Surveyor, and Inspector of Nui-
sances reported various particulars of the operations in
their several departments during the week ; from which
it appeared that 368. nuisances complained of by inhabi-
bitants bad been, inspected, and means taken to remedy
them; 1,561 houses in the unhealthiest districts, Con-
taining 4,951 apartments and 689 cellars. had been put
under examination, with the view of improving their
sanitary condition.
The. Medical Officer of Health reported that the
dieths registered in the borough during the first week
of October were 184, being 54 less than the corrected
average of the same week of the preceding ten years, or
37 less than the Uncorrected averah,re. Of the 184 deaths
116 were in, the parish, and 68 m the out-townships.
Zymotic diseases occasioned 38 deaths, less than one-half
the average. Of these nine were from scarlatina, eight
typhus, &c., seven diarrhoea (average 18), three each
from flimsies, hopping cough, and syphilis, and one each
from small pox. croup, and infantile cholera. The
mortality from diseases of the lungs was increased by
the cold of the previous week. The deaths were 66,
one half more than in the week preceding, and ten more
than the corrected average.

THE SANITARY IMPROVEMENT.

The Deputy Town-clerk brought up a report from
the sub-committee appointed some time since relative to
the more speedy removal of the night soil and other
offensive matter from the Burlington-street depot, with
the plans for carrying out the arrangement. The plan"
proposed is to have quay space upon the canal at Bur-
lington-street, extended suffieienty to accommodate
eight barges, and covered sheds with stabling for the
contractors' horses, and other necessary erections. The
committee recommend mat an me onetime oupostus
shall be at once placed in the barges front the carts,
which would prevent all offensive effluvia escaping,
and that the street sweeping and ashes might be depo-
sited in the yard. The cost of this alteration would be
about £B,OOO but, the rent paid by the contractors for
the stables, &e., would go a great way in liquidation of
that- expenditure.
Mr. BOWRING moved the adoption of .the report, and
in doing so said the subject was one of great interest
to all large towns. It was the removal and the dis-
posal of all offensive accumulations in the best possible
manner, so that they were not injurious to the health of
the town. He said the question had been before the
committee some years since, and the surprise was that
the alterv:tion had not been carried out before. The
borough engineer would produce the plans and explain
them to the committee ; and lie hoped that they would
be adopted and carried out before they entered into a
new contract for, the ensuing year with Mr. Rose for
the removal of the night soil.
The OnAialwag did not think that the subject could
be considered in such baste. He had never before
heard of it, and it was of too nineli importance to be
dealt with without more consideration.
Mr. BOWRING—The plans have already been approved
of by the Council.

The thimnm.i.): said he did not mean to object to
the adoption of the report, but he wished to know what
was to be done with the farmers coming from the south
side of the town for manure.

The llorough Engineer—They will be the same as now.
Mr. HAYDOCX said it was a most important question,
and suggested that the report should be referred to the
Tiesday's committee for them to report upon.
The CHAlnina-s thought that the present contractors
should be consulted upon the subject, as it might be
that they had already provided themselves with stable
accommodation. The more information was got upon
the matter the b'tter. The plans were sanctioned by
the Council in 1849, before many of us were members
of the Council.

The report was then referred back to the committee
for further infotmation, with the understanding that it
was to be brought up next week.
OPENING OF. THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
A deputation; consisting of Lieut.-Colonel Bousfield
and other members of the Arrangement Committee for
opening the Free Public Library on Thursday next,
attended to request permission to place barriers at the
end of several streets along the route the procession of
volunteers will take on that day.
The committee granted the permission, subject to
their being erected under the approval of the borough
engineer, the Arrangement Committee having agreed
to pay all the expenses.

MR. ELLIS JONES AND MR. BECKWITH.
Mr. BECKWITH then directed the attention of the
committee to a letter which had been inserted in a
daily paper from Mr. Ellis Jones, complaining of an
observation he had made, that "Mr. Jones was a trou-
blesome customer." Mr. Beckwith then went on to
explain that in the year 1859, there was a complaint
made of a nuisance existing in the house in which Mr.
Jones lived, that he had been repeatedly served with
notices to remove that nuisance ; and it was not until
the 16th of August in the present year tkat, in conse-
quence of the nuisance not having been abated, that he
was summoned before the magistrates, when those gen..;
tlemen took a very 'lenient view of the question, and
ordered it to be done in seven days. Then there was
other property for which he had to be served with
several notices. Front that he thought that Mr. Jones
must have "been a very troublesome customer " to the
officers of the committee, and he (Mr. Beckwith) had
said so ; but helvas sorry if it gave him any pain, nor
when he said it did, he not intend to give him any
offence.. With regard to the other charge, that the,
committee had charged him £43 for sewerage, and that
upon his complaining,
.they had reduced it, it would be
for Mr. M`Gowan and the Borough Engineer to explain
that. He stated that £2,F; 'had been taken off the
account, which implied a charge.
Mr. 1114 Gown, the Borough Engineer, and the Chair-
man explained the circumstances of the case, observing
that when property was severed it was difficult to fiud
the owners of- the property. Such was the case in this
instance; and after. Mr. Jonea had explained that iris
property was not benefited by the sewerage to the extent
it was first thought, and therefOre, as was alMost daily
the case, the bill was readjusted, and each party had to
pay their proper proportions.
Mr. SHELL observed that there was nothing extra-
ordinary in the.matter. 'The bill was sent in and after-
wards readjusted. There was nothing to complain of in
that, as it was constantly occurring in merchants' offices.
It appeared to him that'all had been done that could be
done by the committee.
bro There being other business before the committee it,

with stealing two towels from Arm Walker, an eating-
house keeper, and an apron frOin a person in Egerton-
street. • The thief was caught with the articles in his
possession, by police officer Clark. He was sentenced
to one month's imprisonment,
BANKRUPTCY COURT.—IC re Charles Denea : This
was the day fixed for the last examination of this bank-
rupt, a general merchant, recently carrying on business
in Liverpool. As the bankrupt failed to come forward
and surrender, at the close of the court the proclamation
of outlawry was made against him in the usual form.—
In re R. and G. Carratbers : The bankrupts, who carried
on business in Liverpool as trawlling drapers, crane up
on their adjourned last examititition. Mr. Rymer sup-
ported, and Mr. Evans appeared for the assignees. The
bankrupts having been examined by Mr. Evan& .aa to
their accounts, were allowed to pass, some further ques-
delta being reserved for the certificate meeting.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—Hereditary DlisealCS.
The tendency to particular diseases transmitted from parent to
child exercises a wide influence in producing disease. Few are
free from hereditary predispositions. Consumption, gout, and
scrofulous disorders are from this cause ever present. and
yearly rob us of our dearest treasures. Holloway's Ointment
and Pills have the power of removing from the blood the
morbid qualities, in which lie the essence of all hereditary
diseases, and not only do they cleanse the blood, but purify
every living tissue throughout the frame, whether situated
externally or internally. They are soothing, yet searching,
and never can be wrongly used or do harm. Being free from
noxious ingredients, the most delicate and timid may fearlessly
employ them.

and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with' sir Alexan-
