adios M works. for the purpose of bringing under hie at-
tention the subject of the stagnant and dangerous condition
of the Serpentine, submitted the following plan, proposed
hy Mr. Walker, of Enfield, for cleansing and levelling the
bed of the river :—Late in the autumn excavate, in a eon•
lenient part of the park, to the north of the river, as much
ae will he required to deposit the mud. Remove the mud
to the hole es made, by means of wag. gons, to be conveyed
a a portable tramroad ; the mud to be strewed with lime
during the proem of its removal, so as to neutralise all
offensive exhalations. Reduce the bed of the river to a uni-
form and gradual inclination, filling up the hollows and
dangerous pits now existing there with the gravel taken
from the hole in which the mud is to be deposited. This
done, the parts where the said dangerous hollows were, to
be myna with slayer of concrete. Assuming four feet to
be the average depth of mud in the river, the probable ex-
pense of carrying out the above plan would be about 15,000/.
Lord J. Manners, in reply to the statements of thedeputa-
tion, said there mild not be the slightest doubt of the
existence of the evil and expressed a belief that the expense
had bees hitherto the difficulty in the way of its removal.
He admitted the Mnemsity which existed for giving prompt

RIOT AT LIVERPOOL ON BOARD A PACKET SHIP.—
IN Tuesday evening last, a riot of a most serious character
took place on board the American picket ship Rappahan-
nock, then lying in the Mersey. This vessel, commanded
by Captain William Cushing, it appears, left dock on Sa-
turday last, and, at the time of disturbance, had upwards
of 500 passengers on board, 'principally of the humbler
clam of Irish, bound for New York. The vessel anchored
In the river, opposite Woodside ferry, and it was the inten-
tion of the captain to gallon Tuesday night. The crew were
shipped by Mr. Be Costa, shipping muter. On Monday,
while the surgeon was examining the passengers, a num-
ber of boxes belonging to the emigrant,' were broken
open, and a quantity of whisky and other articles abstracted.
Ou uesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the passengera were
again mustered on deck by the captain, and whilst they
were so engaged, the crew went below, and again beeke
open the boxes of the passengers, and stole whatever money
they could lay their hands on, with many articles of wear-
ing stipend. They also got a quantity of whisky, the pro-
perty of the passengers, of which they imbitied so large a
qaantity, that they became not only drunk but infuriated.
The captain, upon becondag aorasinted with the
disgraceful conduct of the me, renomstrated with them,
when they not only used abusive language to him
in retsina, bat menially rehnsd to obey his orders, or
to d• easy week on bout Captain Cushing, finding
