FIRE IN MILL-STIEET LAST NIGIIT.—The shop of
Mr. Hugh Read, provision dealer, 151, Mill-street, was
on fire last night, and before the flames could be sub-
dued, about £2OO damage was incurred. The goods
injured consisted chiefly of butter and cheese. The
stock was insured against fire iu the Liverpool and
London Insurance Company for £lOO, and the fixtures

for £5O. Inspector Ctimlin was early on the spot, and
the exertions of the firemen were all that could be

desired.

ienaermr.—The cricket match between the two cele-
brated Elevens at Old Trafford, near Manchester, on
Saturday terminated in favour of the opposition Eleven.
The 4, American Champion Eleven" lost the match by
three wickets. The declaration of our transatlantic cousins,
that the Champion Eleven could beat any twenty-two
in England has thus been practically contradicted.
"ANOTHER CASE OF DEFALCATION.—As we learn
from the Mercury, which is always well-informed in
such matters, William Seabrooke Chalkley, late secre-
tary to the Liverpool Tradesmen's Loan Company, has
been missing since the 25th of last month, and a police
notice has been issued offering a reward of £2OO for his
apprehension. The charges preferred against Chalkley
are embezzlement and forgery. The exact amount of
his deficiencies has not been ascertained, but rumour
places them at not less than £5,000. We understand
that Chalkley gave security to the extent of £l,OOO,
and that Messrs. Potts and Tuton are his guarantees.
THUNDER STORM AT MANCHESTER.-011 Saturday
evening, between six and seven o'clock, the storm of
thunder and lightning which passed over Manchester
Caused some damage to property. The electric fluid
struck the top of the large new warehouse of Mr. S.
Mendel, in Portland-street. Several of the thick glass
Tights were smashed, a wooden partition was knocked
down, sued very distinct traces left of its progress. A
leaden gaspipe 'had a piece melted completely out of it,
yet, singularly enoagh, both ends of the pipe were fused
up, so that the gas did not escape. In Clarendon-street
several squares of glass in a window were perforated by
small holes, without breaking the squares.
NA.VERTREE BOARD OF HEALTH.—The usual monthly
;cleating of this board' was held last evening, at the
Public-offices, Wavertree. Mr. Picton presided ; the
other members present were Messrs. O'Connor, Rishton,
Bradburn, Anderton, and Swanden, The Finance
Committee's proceedings, including the rates for the
ensuing year, were confirmed. The general district
fear special rates is. 3d. in the pound. The chairman
desired publicity to be given to the fact that the board
Its tostaised no loss by the defalcations of Mr. Barney,
the late collector. The .usual routine business was gone
through; but there was nothing of importance transacted.
COUNTY this court yesterday, before W.
Ikalton, Esq., an action was tried in which Mr. Lvthgoe
Sought to recover the sum of (5 4s. from William
Ild,ptton, one of his tenants. Mr. klaghes appeared for
,the pluintiff, and Mr. (hay fur the defendant. It
appears that the money, for the recovery of which the
action was,hrought, was due for rent, but the defendant
.disputing ,plaintiff's right of ownership, had paid the
Money to another person. In 1859 the plaintiff pur-
chased from Uenry Tudor his life interest in. the house
in question; and as Henry Tudor died in the mouth of
January in the present year, it was contended, for the
defendant, that the relit was n 9 longer payable to the
Plaintiff. Mr. Hughes submitted that his Honour had
no jarisdictiou upon such a question, and the cause was
accordingly struck off.
GRAND VOLUNTEER DEMONSTRATION AT CHESTER.
---On Wednesday week, the 20th inst., is announced to
take place the first review of volunteers of Cheshire and
the adjoining counties, on the occasion of the presenta-
-li9li of a bugle to one of the Chester companies. The
ciee,
,:::„ester, from its central position, has been
ci
selected for the occailotirnd we doubt not, should the
weather be propitious, a large niinAer of civilians will be
present, who will at once honour theinselves and encou-
rage the cause. There is expected to be upwards of
3,000 volunteers present, as invitations have been
extended to every part of Lancashire and Cheshire ; and
with a view to bring a still larger number of spectators,
the Birkenhead Railway Company, we perceive, have
determined to run special trains during the day. Volun-
teers in uniform will be conveyed at a fink fare for the
double journey.
MARKETS CONMITTEE.—The usual weekly meeting of
this committee was held yesterday at the council chamber.
Air. Ridley occupied the chair; and the other members
present were Messrs. Kitchen, Shiminin, Nickson, Rogers,
Johnston, Barton, Haydock. It appears from the finan-
cial returns of the various markets that the whole of the
receipts,' up to the week ending Bth June, amounts to
£11,043 4s. 7d.; corresponding week of last year
£10,226. 4a. 4d. Mr. Hutchinson reported that the
quantity of unwholesome meat and fish seized *ad de-
stroyed daring the week was .3,087 lbs. Mr. Shimmiu
Protested against the bye-law passed on Wednesday by
tn;
_Ton Council, expelling a tenant front the markets
-wholesome flesh or fish for sale. The
for exposing un -min was out of order, and the
Plgiirman said Mr. Shim.
-11de of the business.

T4s 'ley/ MODE OF PLATING WARSuirs,—The
. .
*neat experiments at the Nore have settled once "ad
forever, that our present form of iron-cased ships, with
upright sides, are not proof against the power of the
N.V.hilworth and Armstrong guns. A shipbuilder of
Liverpool, Mr. Josiah Jones, jun., has recently patented
an invention- which he calls an angulated armour-cased
sided ship, which consists is the sides of the ship being
Placed at a considerable angle to the plane of the water,
a similar angle being made under the line of flotation.
The inventor is confident that shot striking at these
angles must glance and not penetrate. He has con-
structed a large butt of the same scantling as the ship
is specified to be constructed, and havwg applied to the
Lords of the Admiralty to have his invention tested,
their Lordships have promptly granted his request:
We understand that the experiments will take place
shortly at Portsmouth.—.4rnay and Navy Ga:ette.
• WATER COMMITTEE.—Mr. Hodson presided at the
weekly meeting of this committee yesterday, and there
were also present Messrs. Wagstaff, erellin, Bennett,
Win.' Earle, Beloe, and Farnworth. The quantity of
water received from Rivingtou during the past week
has been 73,360,096 gallons; quantity pumped from
the wells, 24,131,202 gallons ; the quantity in store
week is 117,796 gallons. The proportion of
7to 21. Mr. Beloe said

IttuAr

itiviogton to weii-watr is -L...

that at the last meeting he had given notice to mu,,,
that the committee should insert advertisements in the
local papers to the effect that they were willing to treat
with
_capitalists for loans upon the security of the
Liverpool Water Works. He now found that those
advertisements could not be inserted until after the
first of July, but he wiihed the public to know that the
committee would be in a position to receive offers before
that time. This was an excellent opportunity for
capitalists to invest, as the investment would be in per-
petuity and the security was likely to become a very
valuable one. There was no other public bUsiness.
