OPENING OF ST. MARY'S CHURCH,
FINCH-STREET.

The opening of this church yesterday, was inaugurated
by the celebration of Divine worship at noon. A large
and respectable audience were in attendance. The seats
in front of the pulpit were almost wholly occupied by a
number of the clergymen of Liverpool, and persons who
have taken an interest in the erection of this edifice. The
first portion of the service was conducted by the incum-
bent, the Rev. Mr. Baugh, and the sermon was preached
by the Rev. Rector Campbell, " On the duties of the clergy
to the people, and of the people to the clergy." The
sermon was elegant and impressive, and received from
the congregation the greatest attention throughout.
Immediately before the close of the services, the rev.
rector intimated that there would be a collection, for the
purpose of assisting to pay off the debt still on the church.
The , congregation responded to the appeal in the Most
liberal spirit, the amount collected being £33 108.
It may not be inappropriate to refer to the origin and
design of this church. It is the practical embodiment
of a philanthropic movement which has been going on
for fully thin:: years, and in which the Rev, Rector
Campbell has taken the most pc ominent part. Its object
has been to provide for the, spiritual destitution of that
district, the centre of which is Finch-street, bounded
by Islington, London-road, Norton-street, and Moss-
street, —a district which has long had an unenviable
notoriety for the low state of morals amongst its in-
habitants.

The promoters of this church have carried their idea
out to the full extent, by makine the seats entirely free.
Accommodation is thus provided for 800 persons who
may not have the means'of paying for seat rent.
The style of the building is Gothic, of the decorative
period. The materials' are principally brick, with
the mullions and tracery of the windows in stone.
Facing Finch-street there are four large three-light
windows, with lofty gables over each, the most westerly
of which is surmounted by an elegant bell turret, and a
floriated iron cross, about eighty feet from the ground.
Within the walls the church is seventy feet long and
forty wide, consisting of nave and aisles; the aisles with
high arched gables run at right angles to the nave.
The gallery runs round the three sides. The roof is of
open and framed carpentry; which, torether
.with the
pews, is stained and varnished. The Aancel is floored
with Mintow's tasselated pavement; the rest of the
church with ordinary tiles. Altogether, though evidently
not an expensive edifice, it is a most comfortable and
commodious place of worship.

TOXTETH-PARK BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

At the usual weekly meeting of this board, held
yesterday in the boardroom of the Public-offices, Park-
road, Mr. H. S. Alpass presided. There were also
present—Messrs. Moss, John Wilson, H. Leyland,
Carter, Ogden, Harrison, Brundrett, Grindrod, Joseph
Wilson, ifunter, and Baynes.
A cheque to the amount of £95 was granted for the
out-door relief of the poor.
The Governor of the West Derby Workhouse re-
ported that there were in that establishment, belonging
to the Park, last week, 335 ; this week, 363 ; against
372 in the corresponding week of last year. Of this
number, 28 were sick and in the infirmary last week ;
admitted since, 4 ; discharged, 4 ; remaining this week, 28.
The board proceeded to open tenders for supplying the
new workhouse with coals. After some discussion, it
was agreed to accept the tender of Messrs. Bourne and
Robinson, at £147 1 ls. 2d., to be supplied according to
specification.
Mr. Moss asked if the Building and Visiting Com-
mittee had brought in any report for the week ?
The CHAIRMAN said they had not been able to meet.
Mr. Moss said he wished to say to the chairman of
that committee that several gentlemen had been asking
him if it was the intention of the board to illuminate the
clock on the new workhouse. It was a subject that had
been much discussed in the neighbourhood, and it had
even gone so far that some of the parties resident there
had proposed to subscribe something to illuminate the
clock, rather than that it should be in darkness. He
thought it was the duty of the board to accommodate the
public and the inmates of the house, so that they could
see aftg dusk how the time passed as well as in day
light.
Mr. HARRISON replied that the subject had been under
the consideration of Mr. Bulshaw, the architect, and
they wished to know what the people were willing to
contribute, and then the committee intended to lay the
matter before the board.
The CHAIRMAN observed that the subject had been
well discussed when the clock was to be put up. Then
the guardians thought they would not be justified to
expend the ratepayers' money, for the benefit of the
people in the immediate neighbourhood, in a way from
which the great majority of ratepayers would derive no
benefit whatever. At the time the matter was under
consideration, it was thought by Mr. Kulshaw that it
would be difficult to keep the face of the clock free from
the smoke of the gas ; but he thought, as the clock on
St. James's Church was not dirtied by the smoke, the
one on the workhouse would not be dirtied either.
Mr. JOHN WILSON said, if the people in the neigh-
bourhood wished for this accommodation, the board
should take care that they paid all expenses for the
present, and for the keeping of it in repair afterwards.
Speaking of St. James clock, the Corporation paid for
the light, and the poor church had to pay for the keeping
of the clock in order and wiping its blacked face. He
knew it was a tax upon that poor living, and it was only
last year that he had to pay £7 for the repair of the
clock, which he was sure he would never get back. He
would make bold to say, that if the neighbours around

and Co.'s tender was also accepted, for a supply of

A report was read as to the ship Crimea going into
one of the docks whilst there, was a fire in her ho!d,,
although the fact had been concealed from the dock-
master.—The matter was referred to the solicitor.
Mr. FORWOOD said it was satisfactory to know that
the Water, Commissioners had placed before them the
plans, of the proposed new hydrants ; and he wished the
Engineer and members to direct their attention to them,
and see if the sites selected around the docks were those
which would be-most available in case of fire.

A letter was read from Messrs. John and Henry Gre-
gory, solicitors, stating that they had been consulted by
Messrs. Pickup and Buchanan, •in reference, to their
claim against the board. It consisted in a charge for
cranes of £750, and for crosses and switches £319 odd.
They requested the favour of the early attention of the
board.--Referred to the solicitor.
Mr. Court, the secretary of the Underwriters', wrote,
stating the leakir.ess of a shed at the Waterloo Dock, by
which- several packages of goods had been spoiled.—
The Engineer's attention, it appeared, had already been
called to the matter, and the repairs are already in
progress. •
A- long letter was read from Messrs. Itodocanachi,
embodying.a complaint against Messrs. Bibby and Co.,
as to the master-porterage of a vessel in which they were
both interested.

Mr. FORW,OOD thought that gentlemen conscious of
the present position. (if the laws, as to master potterage,
should not be allowed to proceed as they had been doing,
without some public recognition king taken of their
conduct.
The CHArinIAN did not think they should assume
that any one was to blame, until they had had a report.
—The matter' was referred to the Master ; Porters'
Committee.
A letter from Mr. Reid, manager of the Woodside
ferry, enclosing a list of vessels moored in the track of
the ferry steamers, was referred to the Pilots' Com-
Mittee.
