WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.
The usual weekly meeting of this board of guardians was
held, at the Board-room, Mill-lane, Everton, yesterday ; Mr.
IL Edwards presided. The other guardians present were--
Messrs. Wensley, Abrahams, Kirkus, Shaw, Ledger, French,
Parkin, Smith, I. Edwards, Roberts, Medcalfe, Bolshaw,
and oods. •

Cheques were voted for the maintenance of the out-door
poor, to the several relieying officers, to the amount of
£lBO.

The Master of the 'Workhouse reported that the number
of inmates in the workhouse last week was 651 ;,since when
-22 had been admitted, 1 born, 14 discharged, 1 death ; this
week, 659. The. number for the corresponding week last
year was 692; of whom 363 belonged to the parochial dis-
trict of Torteth Park.

APPOINTMENT OP A DISPENSER.
The visiting committee of this board recommended,
-amon,crst other matters, the appointment of a dispenser to
assist ''Mr. Nevins, the surgeon, in mixing the drugs for the
paupers in the workhouse.
Mr. Abrahams moved the adoption of the proceedings.
Mr. Ledger. wished it to be understood that the £3O
recommended to be paid to Mr. Cutts, was more of a
payment of what was really due to him than as a gratuity,
and he wished that to be stated to the Poor-law Board.
The Chairman said there could not be any objection to
the suggestion.
Mr. Abrahams then moved the recommendation of the
committee with respect to the appointment of a dispenser, to
assist Mr. Nevins, at a salary of 30s. per week.
After a pause, Mr. Shaw said, he felt bound to object to
the appointment of any assistant to Mr. Nevins, because
he thought that he was bound to do all the business himself;
and again, because he must consider that the recommenda-
tion of the committee that the salary should be 30s a week,
as it was a most extortionate sum, and they might have a
person for half that amount ; and again, because he had
understood that there was a
_pauper in the workhouse, -it
chemist, who was quite competent to do all the duties. He
then went on to say, that the foreman dispenser had been
taken from the workhouse, and if one was required, they
could take another from the same place, but he could not
conscientiously consent to the appointment, because Mr.
Nevins had now three times the amount of salary he had
when he was first appointed, and did not give
five minutes more attention to them. Mr. Nevins had nothing
to do but to devote a little more time to the paupers, and
that he would be able to do all the work. He did hope
-that the board would refuse to sanction the appointment.
Mr. French said he did not think that there was any
necessity for the dispenser, and then seconded the amend-
ment, moved by M. Shaw, that no dispenser be appointed.
In answer to Mr. Ledger, the Chairman said, the number
of pauper patients in the workhouse were 210.
Mr. Roberts thought that if there was a person in the
house who could mix the drugs for the pauper, he should
be employed, and that no dispenser be appointed.
Mr. Shaw said, his argument was that there should be
no dispenser appointed at all.
' Mr. Ledger urged that Mr. Gough should be asked
whether there was an person in the house who could per-
'form the duties.

Mr. Gough was called, and he stated that there was a
person an the workhouse, Foden, a druggist, but he was so
teompletely paralysed that he was confined to his bed. If
he could,stand, no doubt he would be able to perform the
duties, but he could not get out of bed, and had never done
so since he entered the house.

The Chairman said the question had been so often dis-
cussed that it was a waste of time to go further. it was a
simple question—did the board think a dispenser was
necessary, or not. lie hoped that they would come to a
conclusion, one way or the other.
Mr. Kirkus, after some further introductory remarks,
moved the appointment of a person to mix medicine, for
%three months, at a salary of 20s per week, as it was scarcely
likely that a man of Mr. Nevin's standing would be ex-
pected to give up his valuable time in mixing pills, or
work which any person could do.
The board then divided, when there were for Mr. Kirkus's
amendment 9, and for Mr. Shaw's motion 4. The amend-
ment was therefore carried, and notice was given that a
person would be appointed at the next meeting of the board.

THE GATEKEEPER AND THE POOR LAW BOARD,

Mr. Ledger : I wish to ask the clerk whether he has had
any communication from the Poor Law Board, relative to
the appointment of Camidge to the " important" office of
gatekeeper.
The Clerk replied that he had, and read the communica-
tion, which was to the following effect : " That the board
'requested to be furnished with the particulars of the appoint-
ment of Camidge as porter to the workhouse, and also to
know whether the guardians proposed to continue the ser-
vice of Thomas Moore, and if so, in what capacity ? "
This was assented to, as was also the appointment of Mr.
Thompson as medical officer of the union for the Garston
district.

THE LATE CHARGES MADE BY MR. SMITH, AND THE VOTE OF

CONFIDENCE IN THE OFFICERS.

Mr. Smith then said, that be was about to bring before
the board a subject which he had not intended to mention,
but since he entered the room he had been told he had
better do so, as it effected his character. He craved their
indulgence, but he would not detain them long. Last week,
on the motion of Mr. Stone, a resolution had been adopted
by the board, which he read, and went on to say :
There was a great difficulty in a man speaking for himself,
but he would do so. The question that bad been asked, and
he would endeavour to answer it—Why did he write such
a note as that ? It was simply this. It was in conse-
quence of the appointment of the gate-keeper, which was a
subject that had been often discussed, and had lasted for a
very long time, and was therefore a subject of much impor-
tance. As he was going out of the gate, he told the man
that he was appointed, and after that he bethought himself
that he should have cautioned him as to his conduct on his
appointment, thinking that he might assume airs ; and on
the other hand, after the opposition that had been offered,
he did not know how he might be treated, and wishing to
know, he wrote the letter, and did, not knowing exactly how
to address him, called him " dear Thomas," and he asked
him to go to his house, and then they had a conversation
about the keys and other matters, and he also told him that
he had received the greatest kindness from both Mr. Gough
and Mr. Moore. Had affairs been different he should have
told him to give notice and leave, and make his house his home
until the affair was settled; and also, thinking that he
might require some money, he intended to have supplied
him with it, and also to have given him some old clothes
of his own, as he was about his own size.'
About "spying." He had been called a "spy." A watch-
man was a " spy," a guardian was a " spy," and
if they did their duty they would be all " spies." They
were sent there to spy" into the evil practices of the
officers and some of the guardians. He then explained the
meaning of the word " espoinage," which, he said, was a
French word, meaning " hired spies"—but they were not
hired, they were sent to do a duty. He then, in a very
rambling and incoherent manner proceeded to remark that
ere long he would prove that the sum wasted by two guar-
dians, m extravagance and mismanagement, was nearer
.£2,000 than £l,OOO, and that through the guardians feeding
and being on terms of intimacy with the officials. IL
concluded amidst much laughter by saying that he had
answered the attacks made upon him, and that too when he
was not present.
.Mr. Kirkus then read the following remarks, which he
said he intended to bring forward on that day, because he
thought it the most fit and proper time, as it could not in
the least interfere with the election, as all the voting
papers would have been signed. Mr. Kirkus then said -
This year opened with promises of exposés of a magnitude
unknown almost in the annals of parochial matters. We
were told by Mr. Smith—whom, without any disrespect, I
may designate the revolutionary and democratic poor-law
guardian—that certain stores had been misappropriated,
fraudulently abstracted; and various other epithets of a
like character were used to induce you, sir, and those who
act with you, to believe that a system had been carried on
which, if true, should have buried the perpetrators of it in
everlastinc, parochial perdition, and sealed their lips for
ever, as he says. This gentleman —the blind leader of a
blinder league of followers—told us that he was preparing
his statement and vouchers, and we were led to believe
that he really had some data or foundation for his—shall I
say yillanous attack. Now, what has become of this
"base invention of a still baser mind ?" Why, foiled in
his attempt to fix on any one officer of our board his foul
stigma, he shuffles his cards and turns to Mr. Auditor, with
the vigour and energy of 'his youthful days he exclaims,
" perfidious auditor,"' over and over acrain he utters the
shrieks, and 'the, bubble bursts. Now,e I ask,what has
all the preachment about economy,
ein retrenchment,
ht ll
re-
tribution, abstraction, fraud, &c., n
nothing. Perhaps a few
errors of addition,, perhapsllray

acoo.lints, at all times capable of being twisted into almost
gi
any deformity other than the one you would i
fratifeis. intended—and, indeed, often explained the
circumlocutionists at Whitehall in two by those
precisely
ways, as the case suits. These trifles ofreeicTorym°ay opposite
existed, but I challenge the whole to show anythingwhaich
should lead you to withdraw that confidence which you have
reposed in yonr officers, and which you have good reason to
rejoice that you did so repose in them. Again, Mr. Chair-
man, we have had during the past year many hindrances to
good legislatiOn from the obstacles raised by the Poor-law
Board, and I trust that, whoever may be elected on the next
board, they will raise their voice against the tyranny and
control of that unconstitutional and un-English triad
dubbed the Poor-law Board. As a matter of reference all
is well, but as one of control it is most preposterous.
You are but the automatons or serfs of those learned hum-
bugs ; but I trust the infusion of new blood will create,
foster, and carry on more determined opposition to
their preposterous insults. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen,

my reason for bringing this matter of review before you
to-day is, that I cannot to-day be charged with an
electioneering speech - seeking place on the one hand, solicit-
ing the honour, if honour it may be called, of being again
one of your brother guardians. I feel that it would be
contrary to all precedent, contrary to the feelings of every
well regulated mind, if I did not, before the year closes,
make a clean breast of it, and, in discharging the duty
imposed upon me, utter my firm conviction that the hubbub
and stir raised under the garb of gross neglect and fraud,
were nothing more than a continuation of a system of per-
secution, and, I had almost said, infernal spite earned on
for some time ; a Satanic flame, kindled by base invention,
and wafted by the bitter malignity of those whose previous
career and history at this very board should make them
blush and hide their diminished heads. Mr. Kirkus con-
cluded by moving a resolution to the effect —" That the
board had the highest opinion as to the honour, honesty,
and integrity of Mr. Clough, and the officers connected
with the workhouse." _ _ _

prematureiltitwas
resolution, until the decision of the Poor Law Board was
known upon the complaints made by Mr. Smith.
The Chairman said the motion was perfectly in order,
and it would be time enough to meet the case when it
arrived.

Mr. Roberts thought that Mr. Smith should be called
upon to state what charges he had to make against the
the board, as he had never made any substantial charge
that had been proved.
The Chairman did not see how they could call upon Mr.
Smith to do so, nor did he think it was worth their while
troubling themselves about such nonsense.
Mr. Ledger attempted to reply to some of the charges
made by Mr. Smith, when a most ludicrous scene took
place, Mr. Smith (being very aged and hard of hearing) not
being able to understand the remarks made, kept trying to
prevent his proceeding, and scarcely a distinct sentence that
either guardian said could be heard, from the confusios.
Mr. Smith, however, got on the other side of the room,
and, amidst much laughter, said he had done his duty and
would do it again ; but they must recollect that all were.
opposed to him, from the lowest to the highest, and having
such a mountain to move he would accomplish it.
After an unseemly discussion, the board divided, when the
motion was carried by a majority of 4, there being 9 for
the motion and 5 against it.
The board then adjourned.

The Conference on the Danubian Principalities will meet
at Parision Thursday.
The correspondent of the Daily News says Prince
Gortschakoff, the Russian Minister of Foreign. Affairs, is
expected this week in Paris.
News from the Continent still sounds threatening. From
France movements of large bodies of troops). ins an easterly
direction, are constantly. announced.
The Metropolitan Police force is at present being regu-
larly drilled at the Wellington Barracks by experienced
sergeants now serving in the police office.
Two lawyers dined together, and after dinner they called
in the host, whose name was Honour, and taking the glass,
drunk
_the health of "Honour and Honesty." The host, in
response, drunk the health of " Our absent friends !"
. A Sommos.—The following question having been placed
on the paper for discussion by, the members of the Leicester
Young Men's Christian Association, " Does- teetotalism rest
on a solid basis ?-" a wag answered it by writing under-
neath, "Nor on a liquid."
From the Ist of January to the 27th of. December,, 1858,
49 murders have been committed in the city of New York,
and 79 persons have committed suicide. The number of
murderers hanged during the same period, amounted to
one —New York Independent.

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.—A man sentenced to be hanged
was visited by his wife, who said, " My dear, would you
like the children to see you executed ?" " No," replied he.
" That's 'just like you," said she, "yon never wanted the
children to have any enjoyment'
" The candles yon sold me last week were very bad,';
said Brown to a tallow-chandler. " Indeed, sir," snid he'
"I am sorry for that." " They burnt to the middle," said
the wag, " and then they wouldn't burn any longer."
• What, sir! did they go out ?" " No—they burnt shorter."
There was a terrible riot among the Irish near Baltimore,
on St. Patrick's Day, in which weapons of various kinds
were freely used, and 100 persons were injured, some of
whom have died. The fighting lasted three hours, and was
ai bloody as some skirmishes that have respectale places in
history.
A tall fellow persisted in standing during the perfor'.
mance at one of the theatres, much to the annoyance of the
audience, and was repeatedly called upon to sit down, but
would not.. " Let him alone," said Hood, who was in the
pit, " he's a tailor, and resting himself !" He immediately
slunk dawn.
" A Radical," in the Nonconformist, urges tho impor-
tance, in preparing for the next general election, of
requiring moral and intellectual fitness in candidates. The
moral influence of the Liberal party, he says, is injured by
the number of members who have no better qualifications
than money and assurance.
"No one here," 'says a letter from St. Petersburg, "ever
remembers such a mild winter in Russia as the late one.
The Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia have scarcely been
covered with ice, and in the month of February a vessel
arrived at Helsingfors With a cargo from Copenhagen.
This is perhaps the first that has ever attempted such a
passage in the winter season, when the communication be-
tween Revel and Helsingfors is only carried on over the ice.
The usual promenades on the Neva in sledges have failed
'this year, ice and snow being wanting."
A SINNER AMONG SAINTS.—Deacon Lewis Wilder, of
Boston, U.S.A., was victimised at the Noith-street prayer
meeting lately. A younc, man who sat beside him professed
deep religious feeling, and finally asked for a private inter-
view. The good deacon went to the door with him, where
the young man expressed his penitence for his past sinful
course, and received some good advice. Turning to go, he
asked the time of day, when Deacon Wilder drew out his
gold watch, which the sham penitent seized and made off
with. The deacon gave chase, but soon lost sight of the
rogue.
IRIS II BOROUGHS.—Before the news of a dissolution of
parliament was twelve hours old, the Irish papers were
bristling with paragraphs - some speculative, some bond fide
announcements respecting gentlemen who are prepared to
enter the lists when the new House of Commons is to be
called into existence. Of the realities it may be mentioned
that Mr. John Rea, a fiery Belfast attorney, has addressed
the electors of the borough of New Ross, in opposition to
Mr. Tottenham, the sitting member and proprietor of the
town. Mr. Rea is a presbyterian, and a radical of the
deepest dye.
HOOPS, FALSE HAIR, HIGH HEELS, AND MATRIMONY.—
An act was introduced into the English Parliament, in
1770, " That all women, of whatever age, rank, profession,
or degree, whether virgins, maids, or widows, that shall,
from and after such act, impose upon, seduce, and betray
into matrimony, any of his Majesty's subjects, by the scents,
paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish
wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes, bolstered hips,
shall incur the penalty of the law now in force against
witchcraft and like misdemeanours, and that the marriage,
upon conviction, shall stand null and void."

THE EXCISE DUTY ON PAPER.—An application having
been made to the Treasury and Board of Inland Revenue,
by Messrs. Rawlins, for permissson to use Fairbank's
patent machine, on the platform system, for weighing and
charging the excise duty on thepaper manufactured at their
mills without success, they gave the officers of the Inland
Revenue notice that they intended to weigh their paper for
duty upon that principle, and they have received a commu-
nication to the effect that should any paper be sent out
from the mill without having been charged with duty by the
proper officer, such paper is to be seized.
DECIMAL COINAGE. The commission appoint ed to
inquire into the proposed system of decimal coinage is still
sitting. A report, however, of their proceedings up to the
present time has been prepared, and is published. From
this we find that there are now before the commission a
, series of resolutions drawn up by Lord Overstone, condem-
natory of the system of decimal coinage altogether. He
considers that the number 12 presents greater advantages
than 10, and that a coinage tounded on the first number is
more convenient for the purpose of the shop and market. By
a further application of the system in use in the National
Debt Office, of converting, namely, money into a decimal
number, and reconverting it into pounds, shillings, and
pence, after the calculations are complete, he considers that
many of the advantages spoken of by the promoters of deci-
mal coinage may be obtained without the incovenience of a
change.' These resolutions are now under discussion, and'a
report will shortly be prepared by Lord Monteagle, the pre-
sident of the commission.

TILE EMPRESS AT MAss.—The Paris correspondent of
the Lady Newspaper writes :—On Sunday last we had the
honeur of attending mass with the Emperor and Empress in
their private chapel in the Tuileries. A few privileged
persons are allowed the entree every Sunday, by permission
of the Grand Chamberlain. This Chapel is built in the
centre of the Palace ; though small, it is exquisitely propor-
tioned, a few choice paintings adorn the walls, and the
stained glass windows are considered remarkably fine speci-
mens of the art. The state pew is in the gallery, with
edmson velvet and gold hangings, in the front of which sit
the Emperor and Empress, with all their household around
them. Auber, the well known composer, has the direction
of the choir, which consists of the finest voices selected from
the Conservatoire. The Emperor was in uniform and the
Empress wore a gray silk dress, trimmed with broad bands
of ruby-coloured velvet, and bonnet of the same; a Spanish
lace mantilla thrown over her shoulders. A more interest-
ing spectacle than that presented by the Imperial group
cannot be conceived ; and the genteel and expressive features
of the Empress never appear more lovely than when seen
ab-orbed in her devotions and hallowed by holy thoughts,
