This body held its usual weekly meeting in the town-
hall at half-past two o'clock yesterday. Mr. Alderman
Dover occupied the chair, and the other members present
were Messrs. Godfrey, M`Guffic, Beckwith, Sheil, John-
son, Halhead, Holme, Haydock, Gladstone, Crosthwaite.
The medical officer reported that the mortality of the
borough continued to be considerably below the average
of the same period of former years. The deaths registered
last week were 210 against a corrected average of 240 in
the corresponding weeks of 1848-55. Of the 210 deaths
last week, 149 were in the parish, and 61 in the out-town-
ships; 47 deaths, a smaller number than usual, were
caused by diseases of the zymotic class; of these, 15 were
from hooping cough, 11 from scarlatina, 5 from diarrhoea,
4 from typhus, 2 from measles, 1 from small-pox, and 1
from syphilis. Diseases of the lungs were fatal to 75
persons-16 fewer than in the preceding week. A female,
formerly a domestic set.% ant, died in St. Andrew-street
at the advanced age of 100 years.
Some conversation took place in reference to the subject
of the gas-refuse on the gas company's works. It appeared
that Mr. King had been before the sub-committee for the
pupose of showing that the refuse was not dangerous to
the public health !
Mr. Shell finally moved that the town clerk be directed
to take steps to have the nuisance removed. This was
agreed to

Some conversation took place as to the necessity of
improving the lower part of Wellington Road, Toxteth
Park, in reference to which it was agreed that a deputa-
tion of members should inspect the locality, and report to
the general meeting.
Some conversation also arose with reference to the
unlighted state of Newby Terrace, Belmont Road. It was
agreed that permission be given to the watch committee
to place lamps in front of that terrace.
The borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspector
of nuisances, reported various particulars of the opera-
tions in their several departments during the week, from
which it appeared that 153 dilapidated privies and ashpits
were altered and repaired, 1177 cesspools had been dis-
charged, 109 nuisances, complained of by inhabitants, had
been inspected, and means taken to remedy them, 1170
houses in the unhealthiest districts, containing 3867 apart-
ments, and 449 cellars had been put under examination,
with the view of improving their sanitary condition.
A letter was read from Mr. W. R. Colborn, stating
that in consequence of the advice he had received from
counsel, he had withdrawn his appeal against the magi-
strates in the case of the Wallasey steamboat not con-

suming her smoke.
This concluded the public business of the committee,

BIRKENHEAD POLICE COU aT.—YESTERDAY.

Magistrates present—The Rev. Mr. Fielden, and Messrs

Bryan and Barlow.
SUNDAY TRADING.—Thomas Wingfield, the keeper of a
public house in Grange-lane, and in Birkenhead, was
summoned for keeping his house open on Sunday for the
sale of liquors during the hours proscribed by act of Par-
liament. The case was proved by police-officers Davis
and Hodgson. For the defence, Mr, Bretherton called the
barmaid, Miss Courtney, who stated that her instructions
from the defendant were, not to open the door to any
person, but on:this occasion she heard a "knocking at the
door," which she opened, when the man said he was going
to mass, but as he felt rather queer, he wished to have a
little rum. She drew him a glass in consequence of that
representation. Mr. Fielden said he, and the bench,
thought that the barmaid was more in fault than the
house, but it was clear that the result must be a convic-
tion. As the barmaid had only been a short ;time in the
house they would only inflict a penalty (of ,10s and the
costs.
George Hunter, a publican, living at the Chester Hotel.
in Chester-street, (late Herdinan's), was summoned for a
similar offence. Hodgson stated at twenty minutes to
nine o'clock he visited the house and found a man dr inking
there. The two females attending on the vaults admitted
that they had given the drink because the person had
stated that he was a traveller. Hodgson swore most
positively that the man had drunk a glass of gin
but the two females and the man himself distinctly swore
that the glass of gi❑ had been drawn, but had never been
drunk until Hodgson tasted of it. The bench dismissed

the case.
John Evans, a beer houqo keeper, was fined 303 and
costs for selling beer on the Sunday. The defendant had
been repeatedly fined for similar offences.

EDINBURGH ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH

EMPEROR

A special meeting of the Town Council of Edinburgh
was held on Tuesday forenoon for the purpose of consider-
ing the propriety of voting a congratulatory address to
the Emperor of the French, on the occasion of the birth
of an heir to the French throne. The Lord Provost, who
presided, proposed the following address, which was
unanimously agreed to:—" To his Imperial Majesty the
Emperor of France. We, the Lord Provost, magistrates,
and town council of the city of Edinburgh, humbly
approach your Majesty to offer our warmest congratula-
tions on the auspicious event of the birth of an heir to the
throne of France. We cordially sympathise with your
Majesty, your august consort, and your peoplc, in your
joy. We hail with delight the advent of a prince allied to
our country by hereditary descent, and destined, we trust,
to draw, still closer than even hitherto, the bonds of amity
which have so long subsisted between the French and
Scotch people. The efforts to restore tranquillity which
are now being made by France and Great Britain, in
conjunction with our Allies, will, we earnestly pray, be
crowned with success, and thus constitute the prince the
harbinger of peace to the world. It is our fervent hope
that the prince may be spared to realise the fondest
wishes of his illustrious parents, and that he may ------

;)rove a

signal blessing to the French nation, whose prosperity we
shall never cease to regard with anxious solicitude. Signed
in name, &e., Joutv MELviLLE, Lord Provost."
