THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.

The usual weekly meeting of this committee was held
at the Town Hall yesterday,—Mr. Alderman Dover
presiding. The following gentlemen were also present—
Messrs. Sheil, Crellin, Hodson, Holden, Haydock, Bow-
ring, Steel, Crosthwaite, Beckwith, Barton, and Ridley.
The medical ollicer of health reported that in the
week which ended last Saturday the deaths registered
in Liverpool were 165, being 36 less than the average
without correction, and 57 less than the corrected aver-
age of the corresponding week of the preceding ten
years. The deaths within the parish were 91, and those
in the out-townships 74. The deaths from diseases of
the zymotic class were the same in number as in the
previous week, viz., 38, less than half the actual average.
Of these diarrhoea caused 9, (average 15) ; typhus, 8 ;
measles, 8 ; scarlatina, 6 ; croup, 4 ; diphtheria, 1 ;
syphilis, 1 ; carbuncle, 1. From diseases of the lungs
the deaths were 48, being the exact average of the same
week of the prece4ing ten years—one-half the number
was from consumption.
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 109 nuisances, com-
plained of by inhabitants, had been inspected, and
means taken to remedy them; 1,485 houses in the
unhealthiest districts, containing 4,661 apartments and
909 cellars, had been put under examination with the
view of improving their sanitary condition.
The report from the Sub-committee upon Common
Lodging-houses was as follows :—Read letter from Mr.
Theodore Rathbone to his Worship the Mayor of the
Bth September last, and letters accompanying same from
Mr. Cross, Captain Elgie, and Mr. Fowler. Also read
letters from Mr. Theodore Rathbone to the chairman of
this sub-committee of the 20th and 24th September last.
Also read letter from Mr. Theodore Rathbone to the
chairman of the Health Committee of the 2nd October
last,—all which letters stand referred to this sub-com-
mittee. The same having been fully considered it was
resolved, that inasmuch as such letters relate to matters
in controverAy between members of the Association for
the Promotion of Social Science, this committee do not
consider the same a legitimate subject for their delibera-
tion. This report was received with token of approba-
tion from the general committee.
The Chief Constable appeared before the committee to
direct attention to the fact that notwithstanding the
proclamation made by the Mayor for the prohibition of
the erection of platforms in front of houses to accommo-
date the public on this day, some were being erected,
and were of such a temporary nature that they were
unsafe and might lead to some fearful accidents, as they
had not, nor could not, be inspected by the officers of
the Corporation. The committee passed a resolution
that all such erections should be prohibited, and that
the police should be requested to prevent their being
erected or used in any streets of the town through which
the procession passed. •
There was no other business transacted.

THE PROCESSION To-DAY.—It will be seen by the
programme in to-day's Times that Colonel Maclver will
take command of the Volunteers for the day. There are
no other alterations in the arrangements.
THE EASTHA7,I FERRY.—The proprietors of the Rock
Ferry boats have, with due consideration for this day,
in order to afford every facility to the people in the dis-
trict of Eastham, put boats on Eastham station this day ;
and these will run four times either way during the day,
so that people will have an opportunity of crossing to see
the procession, and then be conveyed back in due time.
Louis Cavanagh, a young sailor on board the Ameri-
can ship Rattler, lying alongside of the Nelson-pier,
being at the time at the ship's wheel, yesterday, hearing
the cry of a child being washed overboard from a flat
that was lying there, jumped overboard and saved the
child, after being carried with the tide opposite the
Clarence-dock.

..INTERESTING ARRIVALS FOR THIS DAY LOOK
Orr.—Yesterday no less than 24 returned convicts
agitia ti laltiovrenid !'morning
charged with being drunk. This interesting hatch has
come just in time for " operations" to-day. The public
ought to look out.
PROMOTION OF LIEUTENANT PRlOR.—Lieutenant
Prior, the chief emigration officer at this port, received,
yesterday, a commission, promoting him to the position
of commander in her Majesty's navy. He does not,
however, at present, relinquish his position here. The
promotion could not have been conferred on a worthier
f.ecipient, as NC has justly secured the esteem of all who
have official busines to transact with him. Kind and
courteoZ:s to everyone, and steady in the discharge of
his duties, be ha made troops of friends, both public
and private, who a ill rejoice at his well-merited pro-
motion.
CLOSE OF THE REV:SION.—At the closing of the
Revision Court yesterday, Mr. Bremner addressed the
barrister, and said the revisiOn had lasted much longer
than heretofore, but it was :roe from the asperity of
former times ; and this was, he raid, due perhaps to the
courteous and gentlemanly manner' in which the revising
barrister had conducted the -business. He then took a
review of the whole proceedings, am? said the course
adopted by him was found to be the right one, namely
to brim, the voters objected to forward to prove their
claim, otherwise they would have been struck off instead
of remaining on the registry. After having thanked
the barrister, Mr. Brumfitt added that he had pleasure
in corroborating the observations of Mr. Bremner as
regarded the courtesy of the barrister. The business
then terminated.
THE Wonxirousn COICOTTEE.—The usual weekly
meeting of this committee was held yesterday instead
of Thursday, that being appointed as a general holiday,
at the board-room, Brownlow-hill. Mr. Churchwarden
Cropper presided. The other merobers of the com-
mittee present were—Messrs. Byford, Williams, Smith,
Peck, and Denton. The business transacted was purely
of a routine Oar/actor, and the following reports were
read :—The medical officer reported that the Lumber of
persons under treatment was—remaining from last report,
558; new cases, 110; discharged, 110; deaths, 9; now

CONWMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE.
_.,1 believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound
and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas-
hill, Lirerpoo7,) will prove of snore value, in cases of bron-
chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy
ertant.- It relieves the most irritating cough ma few minutes ;
and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces
Sound and •refreshing sleep, soothes the nervous system, and
restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above
all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thontson's
Materia Medico, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr.
lirett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore-
hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant
and efficient cough remedy, and I fullyagree with sir Alexan-
der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc-
tion with cod liver oil, it is an admir4ble remedy for e
