The arrangements, although on so large a scale, were replete
in every department, for which too much praise cannot be given
to the secretary, Mr. J. B. Leatherbarrow. The company did
not quit the tent until a late hour, and all expressed the enjoy-
ment they had felt at the last show for the year 1856.

WALLASEY LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

Tho monthly meeting of the commissioners of the Wallasey
Local Board of Health, was held at the Public offices, Egre.
moat, yesterday evening. Mr. Potley presided ; and the ether
members present were—Messrs Neville, Hughes, Wilson,
Penny, Fishwiek, E. W. Coulborn, Singlehuret, Odell, and
Littledale. The minutes of the last meeting were read and Con.
firmed. The proceedings of the works of health committee were
read, including a recommendation to erect a pinfeld near New
Brighton ; and were confirmed, on the motion of Mr. Neville.
The proceedings of the finance, watch, and byelaw committee,
were read. Mr. Coulborn, in moving their confirmation,
desired the board to pass two bills from the contractor, which
the finance committee, at their last meeting had not
felt it in their power to recommend. There was
a suspicion that the contracts were actually overpaid;
and, inasmuch as these bills had not been referred to and
examined by the works and health comii;!ftee, the committee
refused to pass them. It was found, however, that the
bills in question were for extras, He therefore moved their
payment on the present occasion. One bill was for £77
and the other for £7B. There had been some minus.,
derstanding on the subject. It had been reported that
lit were withheld by the clerk, but this was not

demanded from the Messrs. Coulborn, in accordance with
a requisition contained in a memorial of the parishioners
to the board. The committee decided that the terms
