TOM) Man's CHEIsTLtN AssOCIATION.—Some
time ago there used to exist in Liverpool three or four
associations, moving au different spheres, but having but
one- object. There was the Sunday-school Institute,
in Mount-pleasant, out of ,which sprung the Sunday-
school Union. Then there was the Church of England
Institute, having its home in Bold-street. Later arose
the Young Men's Christian Association, with its rooms
.Renshaw-street. All could not exist for the same
,object, and gradually they have been absorbed in the
lowiger and more energetic association which now
ftellPies the place and provides for the wants of the
Toting seen of Liverpool, and the Sunday-school
l'egeherS, angle and female, of all denominations. We
,rife glad to find that at the public breakfast proposed to
be kaki in Mope hall, on Tuesday morning next, the
44ustees ef the late Church of England Institute are to
hand -over to the- Young Men's Christian Association
=heir property, eonsisting of valuable works, suitable for
tPterence. and circulation. It is expected that the
meeting will be fully attended, not only by young men,
but by young and old of both sexes.

STITY•BIGIITH LANCASHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTICERS.—
The oath of allegiance to her Majesty was administered
last night to- the members of this company,.by Lieut.-
Colonel Gladstone, in the hall connected with their head-
quarters, Bold-street. There was a considerable number
of ladies and gentlemen present, who seemed to take a
lively interest in-the proceedings. The hall was gaily
decorated for-the occasion with gags, which added in a
'my great degree to the brilliancy of the scene. The
band ef the 6th Company was in attendance, gild played
number of airs at-intervals during the evening; and
the ball was guarded by detachments of four companies
from flie second battalion, which the 68th has joined.
TU. cerditton'y having been concluded, Lieut.-Colonel
Cilladetone addressed the newly-enrolled company. He
congactulated Captain Bradley on the fine soldier-like
appeareage Of the men under his command, and the
battalien csa the important acquisition they bad made.
/Le stated that arrangements had been made during the
present week for obtaining ground for rifle practice, at
long range, and ent4sed a hope that the Town Council
would yet.see fit to allow the men under Mr. Newlands,
the borough engineer, 40 Biros a corps of Sappers among
themselves,' (Applause). Capin Bradley briefly
returned thanks, Three cheers werA then given for
LieuteColonel Gladstone, Major Tinley, ,the Ladies, and
Der Majesty ; after which the assembly broke up.
DARING AND lIUMAME ACT.—An incident occurred •
on Sunday afternoon last, which, from the daring huma-
nity displayed, ought not to go unrecorded. It is pretty
generally known that at the back of the Zoological Gar-
dens there is a number of expended Flaytsi now
MA with water, which, from the manye3,ns that
Dave occurred in theca, have caused preseutmente of -
eotoners' juries and other representations to be made.
At the time stated above several boys were floating upon
roughly constricted raft, of their own formation, in I
one of the most dangerous ,of these pits, when, in the
deepest part, the raft gave way, and the ;Joys were pre-
cipitated into the water. They all, with one exception,
after severe struggles, succeeded in reaching the side of
the pit. The boy in the ,centre was in the agonies of
towning ; when a young gentleman who was standing
by, witnessing his helpless state, boldly plunged in,
41x-„L eased as he was, and succeeded in bringing the poor
boy to there. We have since learned that the gallant
emir is Mr. George Taylor, assistant to Dr. Rogerson,
of Moss-street, London-road. Doubtless `when the
_Ltattnane Society hears of the gallant act, it will not
-T _ hoped
its usual complimentary tribute ; and it is to
oped that the authonties, with whomsoever the power
?eats, will take immediate steps to have these useless
Una dangerCilli pits filled up; as Numerous accidents,
manY of hem fatal, have occurred by xe.agon of their
onstage.
