LIVERPOOL CANVASS FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLARS.
The finance committee of the Liverpool vestry recently
acceded to an application from the committee foa conduct-
ing the canvass for Sunday school scholars, to allow their
officers to furnish them with the names and numbers of
children in the several streets within their departments, in
order to assist the canvassing committee in their operations
CORONER'S COURT.—Yesterday the coroner held inquests
on the cases reported in our yesterday's imp e,iun, and also
upon the body of a child named William IL Davis, whose
crents reside in Burlington-street. The deceased was
seventeen months old, and died under rather suspicious
circumstances, while its parents and neighbours were in
drink, from the effects of, as was stated, " wetting the child's
head." There being no conclusive evidence that the child
had been wilfully put to death, the jury, after censuring the
conduct of the mother, returned a verdict in accordance with
the fat's deposed to in evidence.
SHIP LAUNCH AT WORKINGTON.—A fine vessel of 520
tons burthen was launched on Monday last from the build-
ing yard of Mr. C. Lamport, Workington, amidst the
cheers of hundreds of spectators. The new craft received
the name of the " Factory Girl." The building of this
vessel is due to the enterprise of Mr. John Leech, merchant
and manufacturer, of Manchester, and there is an appro•
priateness in her name as a companion ship to the
" Shuttle," also belonging to him. The " Factory Girl"
embraces in her construction all the latest results cif expe-
rience and science, tending to produce solidity and symmetry,
and she ranks A 1 at Lloyd's for thirteen years. It is
gratifying to find that she is intended to trade from Liver-
pool, so that we shall have another instance of the manner
in which the property of our manufacturing neighbours tells
directly to the benefit of our " good old town." The judges
of naval structures will soon be able to form an opinion of
this new specimen, in the waters of the Mersey.
