'them to decide with confidence upon the external' form: and con-
struction of the cable, its specific gravity, its insulation, and-t4e
size of its conductor-
The directors are fully alive, to the importance of a It g t
economy, and it is expected that a sum far less than that w
power has been taken to raise will be ample to cover the man -
ture, insurance, and submersion of the cable ; but the first object
of the directors will be to secure the most perfect and the Not
manufactured cable that can lac &instructed. : '

Proposals have already been received from respdctable contractas,
which, if accepted, will ensure the manufacture of' the new eakle
at the smallest cost consistent. ith eifieieacy and durability.. Tivpse
offers aro such as would ensure; under the protection of effeefaive
' penalties, is careful submergence and its efficient working for one

As a further precaution, the directors contemplate being able to
take out a policy of insurance to cover the risk of the successful
submersion of the cable from shore to shore.

ELECT VEST

''-::*iesterday, the fortnightly meeting of the Select Vestry of
the parish of Liverpool was held in the boar&rooM, Brown-
low-hill ; Mr. Churchwarden Jones in the chair. The

Ether members present were—Messrs. Smith, Owen, Bair-
st,ow, Denton, Cafferata, A. Byford, Williams, Satchell, E.
.Byford, Hughes, Cook, Archer, Gair, Peck, and Whitby.
The proceedings of the Workhouse Committee were read,
n—d,-On the motion of ilfr..Cafferata, confirmed.

- The prom ings of the Industri4l. Schools Committee
were read. They contained a recommendation to increase
the salary of Mj. Sinclair, officers' cook, from £l2 to £l5 ;
also a recommendation to appoint Mrs. Pennington head

-nurse.
31r. BArnsTow moved the confirmation of the proceedings
In reply to Mr. Byford,, Mr. BAIRSTOW said it was :the

iiise---dining-hal:, that served out the meat to the children.
Mr. BYFORD said he had paid a visit to the school, and
he found that the children got one-third-too much food. A
large, quantity was left on the dishes after the children had
finished their meals. Ire would like to know what was
done with that which was thus left.
Mr. BA.tusTow said they were compelled by law to give
the children a certain quantity of meat, or rice, as the case
might be. Mr. Byford might have noticed the scales there
for weighing the quantity; as regulated by the Poor-law
Board. It might seem a large quantity for children so
young; but they were compelled to give it. The remainder
went into the swill-tub.

Mr. I3YFORD said some alteration should be madE

The CnAlltmAx said they could make ne alteration. The
diet was regulated for them,. Some children eat more than

others.

Mr. DENTON said Mr. Byford. was perfectly justified in
asking the question ; and it broUght out amore important
question to that board, whether they were to take the
leavings of those children and pass it into the swill-tub.
In all well-regulated families the leavings of children were
taken up and served again next day, in sconce or something
-else. Re had himself seen the third part of the meat left
on the plates after the children had finished. If this meat
:was to, be thrown into the swill-tub, he could then see the
necessity of increasing their number of pigs. If the Poor-
law Board compelled them to give too much to the elidhlr,en,
they did not bind theme to throw what was left into the
Mr. BAIRSTOW said he would like to,know if Mr. Denton
would serve up the rice again at the end of the week, which
le children got at the beginning. As to, the meat-that
was left, scouce was: made of it. They' could not make

sconce from rice. - -
The Cniuniakif said, judging from the cost of maim
tenance, the children were very economically kept, and, as it
appeared, with superabundance... They cost only 2s. 2d. per
head, and there could not, therefore, be much loss. - '

said, if they Could save twopence per head,
they had no right to pay 2s. 2d. . ~)
•The proceedings were then 'confirmed.
:The proceedings of the Finance Committee were read and
confirmed.

Mr.. CAFFERA.TA, ia accordance with a notice of motion,
moved that all the relieving7officbrs of the parish be re=
quired, within seven *days, to reside within their xespectiv
districts, and .that any of such officers fOund not complying
tolhis, be suspended. I
The:, motion was s&d.tided 'brDir. Whitby, and carried;
after some remarks. *
