PROPOSED MEMORIAL TO THE LATE REV. MR.
CALLAGRAN.—A meeting of a number of the laity con-
nected with the Roman Catholic body of Liverpool,
was held, last night, in the School-room belonging to St.
Mary's Church, Ray-street, for the purpose of taking
steps to have a suitable memorial raised to the memory
of the late Rev. Mr. Callaghan, who died in March last,
generally esteemed by the people of all classes belong-
'mg to his persuasion throughout the town. He was,
however, especially regretted by the large congregation
of St. ary's, of which he was the pastor, and which,

consequently, has taken the initiative in this !nove-
-1 ment. Mr. Lomax was called to the chair, and, having

introduced the business of the meeting, a number of
resolutions were proposed, and unanimously carried, in
furtherance of the object on account of which the meet-
ing had been convened. All the speakers spoke in the
most eulogistic terms of their late pastor, and a sub-
scription list having been opened on the spot, the
number and amount of the subscriptions testified to the
esteem in whieh his memory is held. The amount sub-

scribed now reaches nearly °l2OO.
HEALTH COMMITTEE.—The first meeting of the above
committee, since the new election of councillors, was
held in the Town Hall yesterday afternoon. Mr.

chairman; and the other members present were—Messrs.
Crellin, Beckwith, R. Gladstone, Crosthwaite, Avison,
Bowring, Job, and Nickson • the two last named gentle-
men are new members. The board was occupied some
time in forming sub-committees for sanitary, parlia-
mentary, and other purposes. It was resolved, on the
motion of Mr. Bowring, that a special sub-committee
should be appointed for the inspection of singing
houses. After some discussion, the board resolved
to alter the hour of meeting to twelve o'clock instead
of half-past two, as heretofore.—ln reference to a
letter from the government authorities respecting the
new post-office, Mr. Gladstone moved that it be referred
to the General Purposes Committee, for them to discuss
and report to this committee.—Mr. Crosthwaite called
attention to a question existing between the Council and
West Derby, regarding boundary rates ; but, after a
short discussion, the subject dropped without any reso-
lution being come to, and the board adjourned.

TOXTETI BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The weekly
meeting of this board was held yesterday, at the Public

presided. The other guardians present were Messrs.

relief to the poor." The motion was agreed to.—The
minutes of the proceedings of the building committee
were read and confirmed.—Mr. Harrison said he would
take that opportunity of.explaining that, though money
had been promised them by some gentlemen, they had
been obliged to proceed with the erection of the illumi-
nated clocks according to the original contract.—Mr.
Harrison moved, " That Miss Holmes be appointed
sewing mistress in the new workhouse, at a salary of
£lO per annum"—Mr. Moss seconded the motion, which
was carried unanimously.—ln answer to a question by
Mr. Wilson, Mr. Harrison, on the part of the building
committee, said that they expected to be able to give the
paupers a Christmas dinner in the new workhouse. The,
progress had been very satisfactory since the works went
into the hands of Messrs. Holme and Nichol.—This
concluded the business before the meeting.
ONE OF THE PASSENGERS BY THE ROYAL CHARTER.
—On Tuesday. last, under the preceding title, we
published some interesting particulars relative to the fate
of a young man named Anthony Belt, who unhappily
perished in the wreck of the Royal Charter. Among
these it will be remembered that the gallant, indeed
heroic conduct of Belt, at the wreck of the Bourneuf,
by which several lives were saved on that melancholy
occasion. We are enabled now to add the following :
One of the survivors of the wreck of the Bourneuf,
whose life was- saved by the courageous assiduity
of Mr. Belt, was a youth of about sixteen sum-
mers. This boy having been seriously injured.
by a water-cask rolling over him, had three several
times been abandoned by the seamen as dead.
Not satisfied that this was the case, Mr. Belt examined
the seemingly inanimate body; fastened his own life-
belt on the youth, and succeeded in getting him to the
cutter. This same youth survived the dangerous in-
juries- and risks, and is now the third officer of one of
the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steamers.
The captain' of the I3ourneuf, his wife, her sister, and
five seaman, perished.

HISTORIC SOCIETT.—A meeting of the literary section
of the Lancashire and Cheshire Historic Society was
held last night in the Grand Jury-room, St. George's
Hall, A. C. Gibson, Esq., in the chair. The following

1859, from the society; Le Prelate, French newspaper, for
the 18th and 28th October respectively, and L' r 1 bbeoillois,

Owen Connellan, Irish Historiographer to his Ma-
jesty, Dublin,, 1834, from the author ; Report of the

ceedings of the Liverpool Philomathic Society for
1858-59, from the society ; and Lecture on the History
of England; Lectiare I. by Mr. Longman, from Mr.
R. Hunt. There was also exhibited, in illustration of
the paper for the evening, a large number of remark-
able books published in Liverpool; various works of an
early date, includinc, Ciceri de Officios 1468 ; Das
Evangelibuch, a work on the four gospels, 1507, with
curious wood-cuts ; A Treatise on the Worship of Images
and Relics, 1530. The paper for the evening was by
A. S. Mott, entitled, " Books published in Liverpool ; "
but as the author was, from a domestic bereavement,
unable to attend, the paper was read by the secretary of the
society. The paper contained a list of the books which had
been printed in or about Liverpool, from the earliest period
to which the research of Mr. Mott had penetrated down
to the present time. As the paper proceeded, some in-
teresting comments and reviews were introduced, and a
considerable amount of useful information was thus
imparted. The essay having been read, a vote of thanks
was passed to the author, after which the proceedings
terminated.
