INSPECTOR FIELD AT ALLSOP'S WAX-WORE EXHIBITION.
—Every one who had seen Palmer, declared that his Hie--
ness at this establishment is the best that is extant, and a
day or two since, Mr. Field, the celebrated London officer,
on visiting the exhibition, was at once struck with the exact
likeness of that notorious person, and declared it to be the
most perfect he had ever beheld.—ddb.
THE LAST ENGLISHMAN IN THE CRIMEA.—The last man
of the Eeglish in the Crimea is said to have been one of the
Land Transport Corps, who, long after the Crimea was
given up and all had embarked, was found lying very drunk
in one of the ditches. He was carried to the beach by six
Cossacks, and puled off to the last ship quitting the port.
So tipsy was he that he had to be hoisted on board. ,
INSTITUTION FORTH, RELIEF OF WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
OF CLERGYMEN OP THE DIOCEASIS OF CHESTER, MANCHES-
TER, AND LIVERPOOL.—The anniversary of this society was
celebrated yesterday. In the morning divine service was
performed in St. Peter's Church, at eleven o'clock, and the
sermon was preached by the Rev. William Qaeckett, A.M.,
Rector of Warrington, preacher for the year. In the
evening the members of the society dined together at the
Adelpbi Hotel, and the chair was occupied by Mr. Thomas
W. Tatton, president for the year.
THE GREAT PICTURE OF THE QUEEN OPENING THE Ex-
lIIBITION.—This fine specimen of modern art, painted by
desire of her Majesty, by H. G. Selons, is now on view at
Mr. Isaacs, Castle-street. As a work of art, it stands high
in the opinion of the best judges. The colouring and
shading are natural—the former being remarkable for its
brilliancy, without overstepping nature. There are nearly
100 well known portraits in the foreground, painted with
fidelity to the originals. We think the picture an excellent
one ; and, although at present so well known and
deservedly appreciated, it will, in aftertimes, be ranch
more valuable, as the subject will endure for ages. The
engravinz from it is executed in the first style of art, and,
no doubt, will be possessed by every one who visit, to pre-
serve a faithful memorial of an e7ent so famously historical.
WALLASEY LOCAL BOAED OF HEALTH.—The usual
nonthly meeting of this board was held last evening at the
ices, Mr. Poolev in the chair. The following members
-et •—Mrssrs. Neville, Rev. E. Roberts, E. W.
William. Chambers, and Single-
, clerk, read the minutes of the last
A. desultory conversation, relative
the district, took place, which ended
without any motion being made on it. Mr. Coulborne
mailed the attention of the board to the necessity of a dead-
house. They could erect a wooden house, at a cost of £3O
ir XIO, which would answer the purpose ; and Mr. Roberts
seed a parish hearse also. It was moved by Mr.
• that an.estimate be taken on the sebject ; and it
was also proposed to apply to the woods and forests for
ground for the house alluded to. After the transaction of
the eeneral and routine business, the board adjourned.
CORONERS EscruEsra.--Yesterday the coroner held
the following inqiiests.--On the body of a child named
Mary Darley, two years of age, who was run over bra cart
in the street. 'the unfortunate affair was purely accidental,
and the jury found accordingly.—On the body of an hostler
named James Ileslip, who was employed by Mr. Ford,
p?blican, Oldhall—street. It appeared that the deceased told
his mother that he was jealous with his sweetheart for
speaking to another man, and that he spent all his money
on her, and had even pawned his clothes to procure money
for her, and that it was too bad she should think more of
another man. He said on Tuesday night he would either
take his mother's life or his own, and it would appear that
he kept the last promise, for he hung himself in the stable
aelonging to Mr. Ford. The jury found a verdict of self
struction, whilst labouring under temporaryu agedin foursanity,
reht on by jealousy. On the body pf aei
named William Holmes, who was suffocated in a

bond a verdict of accidental death, as the child
falleninto the place, and they made a
re and precaution should be used
