such appointments ; therefore,vhe should urge the neces-
sity of each district sending in the names of such persons as
were willing and competent to undertake such visitation
should it be required. If such a course were adopted, they
would be prepared, in case such an emergency should.arise.
Mr. ALPASS said' the-salary for, such services would be
L 2 per week.

-'lifter a brief desultory conversation the recommendation
was adopted, and the Clerk received his instructions
accordingly. • -

The CLERK
,then referred to the number of orders which
had been made for the removal of nuisances, scarcely any of
which-had been attended to, the result of which was, that
the orders had become a dead letter. He recommended the
appointment of a person to enforce the removal of the
nuisances, after the order for such had been obtained. An
n official named Downes, who had comparatively nothing
whatever to do, should render assistance in that department.
Mr. SHAW moved for a return of the expenses attending
upon the removal of nuisances, and. what the Union had
received.

The CLERK said, with the exception of one case, the Union
had not lost a single farthing.

Mr. ALPASS, after alluding to the defective state of the
drainage in Springfield-street, Old Swan, and some of the
rural parts of the Union; particularly Bootle, moved a reso-,
lution to the effect, that it would be impossible to perma-
nently remove the nuisances existing, 'unless the Public
Health Act was applied to that district.
This resolution was unanimously adopted, and directed it
to be forwarded to the overseers, as the opinion of that Board
on the subject.

Mr. Martin's contract, for repairs Co beaT)ne to the Hospital,
amountirg to £355, was accepted. The other contract for
the same work was £456. A, clock was directed to be pur-

TOTAL WRECK OF A LIVERPOOL SHIP.
EIGHT LIVES LOST.

An account of the distressing wreck of the ship Bourneuf

.7 •
The vessel' sailed from Hobson's Bay, Australia, on the
15th July, and on the 3d August got on shore on the reef,
and became a total wreck. In attempting to leave the
wreck, the Captain (Bibby), his wife, her sister, and five of
the seamen, were drowned, a sea having struck the boat
when half lowered, which broke the davits and drove the
boat under the ship's counter. The rest of the crew miracu-
lously escaped, six seamen and a young apprentice, Alfred
Brownless, a native of Liverpool, are reported as badly
bruised.

Everything* was lost, and many of the crew were naked.
Those saved, thirty-one in number, were picked up by a
Dutch vessel, the " Everdina Elizabeth," bound from Sydney
to Batavia. Afterwards six of the men were drafted to the
British barque, "Earl Grey," bound to Bombay ; • the chief
mate is coming home in the French barque, " Julius Cesar,"
bound to Havre. The statement does not furnish the names
of the men that were drowned. •

The "Bodrneuf" was a new ship, of 1400 tons, and com-
menced her first voyage on the 26th May, 1852, f;•om Liver-
pool to Port Phillip with a large number of government
emigrants.
