of this town are celebrating this week as their fourth
anniversary. The celebration commenced on Sunday,
when a series of services were held in different parts of
Toxteth-park. Yesterday a grand festival was held in
the field between Lark-lane and Aigburth-road. Nearly
3,000 " sons of temperance" attended on this occasion,
and the day being fine, the festival was as successful as
its promoters could have desired. The amusements
consisted principally of dancing, punchinello, running
races, and other English sports and pastimes. The
band of the Akbar and a string band enlivened the
proceedings, and formed the main attraction for the
young folks. Mr. Horn and other advocates of the
temperance cause, delivered humorous addresses during
the day; and the proceedings terminated at eight o'clock
in the evening, the whole affair having been most suc-
cessful, and highly creditable to the committee and
others who superintended the arrangements,

terday a woman named Ann Parr, a domestic servant,
was brought before Mr. Barton or a charge of having
stolen a silver watch from the person of a joiner, named

appears that the parties had known each other for several
years. On Saturday, the 23rd ult., they met, and visited
some public houses, and drank very freely. When the
prosecutor reached home he missed hie watch, and im-
mediately gave information to the police. The prisoner
was apprehended at the house of a gentleman in a re-
spectable part of the'township, and the stolen watch was
found upon her person. She said nothing in her de-
fence, and was committed for trial at the sessions.

use of Gill-street market as a drill place for a new
corps of volunteers; and it was left to Mr. Hutchinson,
the markets superintendent to arrange as to what nights
the market would be at liberty for the purpose. The
other business was purely of a financial character.

COUNTY MAGISTRITES' COVRT.-At this court yes-
terday (before Mr. Campbell), Mr. Gray, instructed by
Mr. Cleaver, applied for an order to compel Richard

Custom-house officer, and, up to 4 few weeks ego, his
wife had received nothing from him for 1.3 months. Mr.

RESTORATION OF THE MANCHESTEit
orkmen have for a long time had possession of a
large portion of the BI an chest er Cathedral. The
church has been thoroughly restored inside, with the
exception of a little at the west end. Formerly
there were few places worse ventilated, but now it
Would perhaps be difficult to find one in which the
ventilation is more perfect. New heating apparatus
has been fitted up, so that in winter time the
worshippers may enjoy the comfort and protec-
of this magnitude. Instead of the

font been wooden one one substituted, with windows inserted in it, so
as greatly to improve the lighting of the north and south
galleries. A new pulpit has been erected, ands

for the choristers. The christening

church. The galleries at the east and west ends have

entire length of the noble edifice. The wails We been
thoroughly cleaned, and the mouldings festered ; in
fact, any one who has not been in this place of worship
during the last twelve months, will scarcely recognise
the "old church." The process of restoration with
regard to the exterior is gradually progressing, under
the direction of Mr. J. P. Holding, architect, and from
the advancement already made, there can be no doubt
that in course of time the church will have been festered
in such a manner as to be a credit to the city. The
evening service, which has for some time past taken
place in the Derby Chapel, was held on Sunday evening
in the nave of the cathedral. The Very Rev. the pm
Lt preached the sermon.

caped the attack of one of these ravenous creatures in
