LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

CHILD OVERLAIN.—On Tuesday tight a child named
Ford was overlain by its mother, in Bostock-streot, andi
it is stated that she was in drink at the time.
Mr. W. C. Miller will launch a fine paddle steamer,
of 270 tons, for the Bridgewater trustees, from his
building-yard, Toxteth-dock, at noon this day (Thurs.-
day).
THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. An extraordinary.
novelty will shortly be added to the other attractions of
these beautiful grounds. It is no less than a steam
organ ! and which (when at high pressure, we suppose,)
will be heard three miles off !

Tim QUEEN'S ACCESSlON.—Yesterday was the anni-
versary of the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne
of England, and the 24th year of her Majesty's reign
commenced. The bells of various churches rang out
merry peals from an early hour of the morning, in
honour of the event.

FIRE IN WEST DERRY-ROAD.—Yesterday morning,
at one o'clock, a fire broke out in a workshop in Upper
Baker-street, West Derby-road. Mr. Hewitt, with his.
characteristic promptitude, was soon on the spot, and.
extinguished the fire before any considerable damage
had been done.
The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steamship
Company, in order to keep up the reputation of their line
of steamers between Liverpool and New York, have
ordered Messrs. Tod and Macgregor, the builders of their
steamers City of Baltimore, City of Washington, &a., to
build a new steamer, of about 2,800 tons, to surpass all
their vessels, both in size and speed, and to be called the
City of New York, and to come on to the station early
'next year.
THE FINE ARTS.—" THE DEFENCE OF KARL"—
Barker's noble picture of one of the most striking
incidents in " The Defence of Kars," which is now en.
inspection at Messrs. Agnew's gallery, Liverpool and
London Chambers, is exciting deserved interest amongst
the lovers of art. The picture is decidedly the most
classical in composition and treatment yet produced
from Mr. Barker's easel, and the exhibition will close-
on Saturday, June 30th.
MANCHESTER ASSIZE COURTS.—THE CONTRACTS.—
The Assize Courts Committee of the Salford Hundred
Magistrates have now accepted contracts for the perform-

ennrao of emotion in Bury New Road, Strangeways.
The committee have accepted the contract of Mr.
Samuel Bramall, of Bristol-street, Hulme, the amount
of which is understood to be £69,997.

STEAM ICE.—The novel process of manufacturing ice
through the agency of steam power, is one of the latest
and perhaps the most peculiar of all the inventive
achievements of the age. Yesterday, the works of the
Liverpool Steam Ice Company, Boundary-street, were
visited by a considerable number of ladies and gentle-
men, all of whom appeared to take a great interest in
what they witnessed. Invitations have been sent out
for to-day, when we anticipate a numerous attendance.

CLAREMONT CHAPEL BAZAAR.—Yesterday the wea-
ther turned out very unfavourable ; rain fell in torrents
at intervals, and the town was visited by a very heavy •
thunderstorm, consequently .the visitors to the bazaar
were few in number. The following ladies preside at

and Miss Marsh. B.—Mrs. Joseph Nicholson, Miss -
Nicholson, and Miss Midgley. C.—Miss Barley, Miss

Midgley. Post-office, Miss Nicholson. The room is
decorated in an artistic manner, with the flags of art ,
nations. The articles offered for sale comprise the
elegant, the beautiful, and the useful ; and no pains are •
spared by the fair stall-keepers to allure attendants to. •
buy. The refreshment stall is well supplied with dain-
- -
ties, and is presided over by Miss Ann King and Mrs. .
Dansfield. There is exhibited a handsome Sunday-
school stall, furnished by Sunday-school pupils ; also a
printing press, at work, and a model of a topsail reefing
apparatus. At intervals the proceedings are enlivened
by the performance of Mr. H. V. Lewis, on the piano-
forte. The bazaar will be open again to-day.
WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The weekly meeting of -
this board was held yesterday. Mr. Pilling presided,
and the other members present were Messrs. Abrahams,
Clarke, Haigh, Jeffreys, Garrett, Wareham, Webster,
Green, J. Edwards, M'Connell, Roberts, Smith, Rich).- .
mond. The folldwing cheques were granted for out-door •
relief :—Mr. Potts, £ll2 ; Mr. Robertson, £137 ; Mr- -
Lythgoe, £2l. The number of paupers in the work--
house last week was 312 ; admitted since, 20 ; discharged,,
19 ; dead, 1; this week, 312 ; corresponding week last-
year, 249. In the hospital there were, last week, 61;,
admitted since, 4 ; discharged, 9 ; died, 2 ; this week,,
54 ; corresponding week last year, 95. The proceedings.
of the committees having been confirmed, a letter from..
Mr. Shaw was read by the chairman. The letter was •
with reference to an application made to the board fast. • -ra.:;
week by Mr. Shaw, requesting that his office might be.
transferred to his son-in-law, Mr. 'Wright. At the meet- '54-
Mg last week, the application was not entertained, and
the present letter requested that it might be agaim
brought forward. In reply to some members of the board:
who wished to see the former application, Mr. Cleaver •
replied that he had omitted to bring it. Mr. Abrahams. • •
gave notice that he should move at the next meeting that
Mr. William Lloyd be appointed registrar of births. •
and deaths, in lieu of Mr. Shaw. Mr. Haigh thought:
that the proper time to discuss the question would be•
when the resignation of Mr. Shaw had been -uncondi-
tionally sent in. When that had been done, -he would. •
move that the township be divided into two parts. It.
was most inconvenient for persons to come, as, they now:
had to do, from Bootle and Everton to register the births.
and deaths. By dividing the township into two districts.
this would be remedied. The Chairman said that upon.
this subject he had received a letter from Mr. Pitts,.
stating that that gentleman was favourable to a diTi-
sion of the township; and also, that such was the-
opinion of the ratepayers in those districts. The •
letter, in fact, had been written at the request of:
the ratepayers of Mr. Pitta's neighbourhood. Mr.
Jeffreys moved that the clerk be instructed to apply
to the registrar-general for leave to separate Kirkdale
from Ev-erton for the registration of births and deaths
according to the wishes of the ratepayers of those dis-
tricts.—Mr. M'Connell seconded the motion, which was •
subsequently carried.—After some other members had
expressed their views upon the question, Mr: .M'Connell
again addressed the board. He commented upon Mr..
Cleaver's conduct in reference to the intended resignation'
of Mr. Shaw. Last week, when the application was
made, it was not brought forward until the- reporters •
had retired, and during the sitting of the board an•
endeavour was manifested to conceal the letter until the
moment when it would be read by the chairman.
Again, the document was not produced on the present
occasion, and it was his opinion that that omission was
an intentional one. He also condemned Mr. Cleaver's
conduct in canvassing the guardians aboutthe registration
business.—Mr. Cleaver, in reply, said he indignantly
sott
ohni m
uponby Mr.
the subject
nreeplle.lledlnthtehcohafirrgste
could have been made last week ; all that could have -
pnilaaede,e angoainm
been done was to give notice of a resolution. It had
been further stated that the letter was not intended to
be produced. He had sat at the board for 21 yew?, • •
and they might now believe him when he stated- that
he thought until looking at the file he had brought -
with him. With regard to the canvassing, he had
done no more than he had a right t
do in his capacity
of registrar.—An amendment was then carried that the
letter be not received. •
