WEST Daunt BOARD OF GUARDIA.NS. The usual
weekly meeting of the West Derby Board of Guardians
was held in the board-room at the workhouse, West
Derby-road, yesterday. Mr. Pitts presided ; and the
other members present were, Messrs. Shaw, Ledger,
Garratt, J. Edwards, Roscoe, Abrahams, Heyes, Rich-
mond, Smith, Pilling, Metcalfe, Wareham, Parkin, and
Roberts.—Mr. Gough reported that the number of
paupers in the house was 323 last week, and 308 this
week, against 319 in the-corresponding
hospital last week
was 120, this week 125, against 112 in the corresponding
week of the previous year. Of these 47 belong to
Toxteth-park.—Cheques for out-door relief were drawn
as follows :—Mr. Potts, 115 ; Mr. Olney, £3B ; Mr.
Lythgoe, £22.—A letter was read from the Poor-law
Board sanctioning the appointment of Mr. Olney to the
vacant office of relieving officer for the first district,
at a salary of £l3O a year. A letter from the
clerk to the Huddersfield Board of Guardians was read.
That boatel desired to know whether any, and what steps
had been taken by the West Derby Board with reference to
the contemplated Poor-law (continuance) Bill.—Mr.
Ledger thought it would be very desirable to appoint a
committee to consider the subject, and, pending the ap-
pointment of such a committee, the clerk was directed to
write to such unions as would be most likely to afford
information in reference to-the proposed bill.—Mr.
Abrahams gave notice that at the next meeting of the
board he should move the appointment of Mr. Robertson

lIENGLER'S GRAND CIRQUE.—GREAT ATTRACTION.
—Among the new and varied attractions which the
spirited proprietor has latterly introduced into this popu-
lar place of recreation, which thousands continue to visit
every night, is Dan Caitello, the American wit, and his
" educated bull." The latter is a host in itself, and those
who have not yet seen this surprising novelty should
immediately avail themselves of the opportunity now
offered. Besides it, heivever, the great somersault
throwing of Dan Castello over the eight horses—a most
surprising, feat of agility ; indeed, without a parallel.
In addition to these the fine pantomime, in which " Cin-
derella's glass slipper" aids the conquest she gains over
her proud sisters, cannot be surpassed. Apart from
Cinderalla and her triumph, we have " Madlle. Tour-
naire, in her flying scene," which is one of the greatest
and most extraordinary feats that can be witnessed, and
Mr. Alfred Clarke, the " Alpine Bounder," whose per-
performances'call forth rapturous applause nightly ; Mr.
T. Elliotte and his two sons also perform amazing
exploits ; and the Brothers Ethair, as the mid-air
gyranaists, go through their wonderful performances
with the most astonishing success. The Merry Andrews,
Watson, Cooke, And Bibb, are admirable each in his
own department as clown. The Circus, all through, is
worthy of the most extensive patronage, from the peer
to the peasant. Next week the Cirque will be enhanced
as a place of amusement by the important engagement
of the great rider, Davis Richards, who will, we hear,
compete with Dan Castello in his somersault act on
Monday next.
Mears' DISASTERS.—The Tell-Tale, from Liverpool
to St. Michaes, has been obliged to put into Falmouth,
entirely dismasted, and with loss of bowsprit. She has
on board the captain and crew of the American ship
Ann E. Walsh, from Liverpool to Havannah, which
sprang a leak and foundered in lat. 47 N. long. 9 W.,
on the 31st of January.—The John Bull arrived here
yesterday from Charlestown, having sailed thence on
January 9. During the whole passage she encountered
very heavy weather. On the 29th of January, having
broached to in a hurricane, she was thrown on her beam
ends, and lay with her lee dead-eyes under water for
twelve hours, started a butt, and has been making water
ever since.—Among the many instances of the violent
weather lately prevalent on the Atlantic, may be cited
that of the Martha, of this port, which sailed hence on.
the 10th of December, for St. John's, N.B. She has
been obliged to put back to. Queenstown for water and
provisions, and to land the crew of the barque James
Gibson, of and for* Bristol from Demerara, who were
taken off that vessel on January 8. When abandoned
she was in a sinking condition.—A black painted ship,
abandoned, apparently British-American, of about 900
or 1,000 tons, and timber-laden, with sails seemingly
blown from the yards, was passed on January '3l in
lat. 48 N. long. 28 W., by the Rutland, arrived at this
port.—A telegram received from Queenstown announces
that the ship J. J. Boyd, nearly loaded at New York
for Liverpool,' took tire on the 28th of January. The
cargo is badly damaged.
