THE DAY'S NEWS.

The Dock Conamittee held their weekly meeting
yesterday—but the proceedings were of a most
routine character, no business of the least impor-
tance having been entered upon.
We are sorry to say that the Health of the Town
is in a most unsatisfactory state. The deaths last
week were e2eSS, being 31 more than in the previous
week, and 41 more than the averageof the same week
in the preceding nine years corrected for increase
of population. We should like the Health Officer
to answer one question. Cannot this exeessiye
mortality be traced to the Pike Water? Another
question we should like to put to the Water
Committee. Now the 'Pike Water is served to the
inhabitants of Liverpool. Flow is it that the
olenizens -of. -Ev:rton hays not enough of it 1' We
would be glad to be enlightened upon the subject.
At the weekly meeting, of the Toxteth Board of
Guardians yesterday, it. was stated that the plans
for the New Workhouse would be ready by next
Thursday.
A rather singular case was brought beforethe
the County ,'Court Judge yesterday. Mr. Greer,
of the "Anti-Vermin" office, Brownlow hill, sup-
plied Mr. Scott, a baker, of Liverpool and
New Brighton, with a lotion to destroy ants,
with which, Mr.' Scott was sorely pestered. This
lotion was not to be used near a candle. On Mr.
Scott applying the lotion to where the ants were,
an explosion took • place, the' I:ght being behind
him at .the -time. Mr. Scott was ;severely burnt,
and damage-to the extent of some 10/. was caused.
Mr. Scott sued Mr. Greer for 141 1.25. Gl—viz
damage to his premises, 101., price of the lotion'
'l4s. Gd., and doctor's bill for attendance, 3/. 18s.
.judgment was deferred.
Last evening a meeting of the ratepayers of the
rural district of Toxteth Park was held in the
Lark-lane School House. The object of the
meeting was to consider the desirability of incor-
poratingthat part of the township with the borough
of Liverpool. The report of the committee 'ao-
pointedlo inquire into.the subject was submitted,
The reedit pointy out the extent of Toxteth Park,
the area-of,the reraldistrict, and the rates to which
the inhabitants :are subjected, from which it
appeari that • they now-pay something like 3d in
the round more rates than the inhabitants 'of
Liverpool. The committee consequently think
that a 1-4iSitied advaotage wonld accrue to he rate-
payers through an amalgamat ion with the borough
of LiverpoOle. Mr. Boult moved that the opinions
of the '-committee should .:be. adopted, but , Mr.
Gregson, at great length, opposed thamotioh, and,
on the recommendation of Me.-Ceas.Willmer, it
was agreed that the meeting
_should be adjournrd
to another day.
Our London cotemporaries. generallyelook upon
the news from India as 'satisfactory: • The. Times
says that " the only real source of anxiety which
we can discover in this arrival is the fact that a
large ~umber' of our .countrymen and 'country
women areahut :up in the fort at Saugore Unless
relief is speedily afforded to those ttho have sought
refuge .withiu. ,Walls,--abeve a ehoUsand in
number,—fears are --entertained lest our feelings
should be shocked by a repetition of the savage
atrocities committed -at Cawnpore ; but we
trust that the energetic measures taken, to
send troops up the country will avail to rescue
those whose condition excites. so, much alarm
:from their perilous position When we add that
a commission has been issued for the trial 'of:the
King of. Delhi, whose life doer~ not appear to have
been unconditionally spared, that two more of his
sons were to. be shot, that
.the fall of 'Delhi had .
had a wonderful effectsin making defaulters to
the reverree pay up their arrears, that loyalty was '
the order of thaday is the north western provinees,
and that "all was quiet in Scinde, Bombay,
Madras, and the Nizsm's dominions,' we do not
know that any expressions of Our own can add•to
the deep satisfaction and 'relief with which this
Indian: intelligence must be received by the
-country at large." The Daily Arews thinks that
it is by far the most cheering news that has been
received since the outbreak of the mutiny ; and
the Sun, that it is the most satiefaetory one received
since the. commencement of the disturlianee, with
the single exception of that which gave the glad
tidings of the capture of Delhi, an the relief of
Lueknow, et the very neck ,of •tirne. The Star—
organ of the peace partys---is, however, not of the
same mind. .It" silys :—" The ‘coeiking' process is
again going forward, and it will not leer till after the
lapse ofthree orfoundays, that we shill get at the
real truth of matters. The public:may rely- upon it
that Mknisters are breaking the fact of unpleasant
intelligence, and Lind it difficult to accomplish the
task, though their failure in this respect arises not
from the want of practice."
Yesterday, we announced the fact' that the East
India .Company .would, in all likelihood, greet 'a
pension to
,the widow of General Neill. . To-day we
learn that it is the intention, also, of the Court of
Direc`ors of the East India Company to propose
the graht of,:an annuity of 1,0004 a year to Gen'eral
Sir Archdale Wilson, of. Delhi, and 'also-to grant a
pension of 5001. to the nearest surviving relative of
the late General Nicholson. In the case of Gene: a'
Nichoreop'; we believe the 'pension will-accrue to
his mother- We confidently trust, eve a London

paper, that government are prepared to propose a
pension of 1,0001. a year to General Sir Henry
Havelock, of Lueknow, who is a Queen's officer.

Goneral Wilson, as also Generals Nicholson and
Neill, were Company's officers.
We report to-day the facts of a trial at the Old
Bailey, London. It is of considerable interest to
the commercial world. Joha. Marks, Samuel
Marks, and Abraham Simmonds, well kr:own as

coachalakers, were tried on a charge of having
defrauded the creditors of the first named of a

large amount of property after he had been ad-
ju.dgei a bankrupt. The charge of conspiracy and
fraud was made out to the satisfaction of the jury,
and, to the astonishment of the prisoners, the
judge sentenced each of them to eight years' penal
servitude.
A meeting of the Manchester Chartists, in
support of the movement for Parliamentary Reform,
has just been held. An unsuccessful attempt was
made by one of their number to dissuade them

from joining the movement, and to go for nothing
less than the "six point" but the common sense
of the meeting prevailed, and resolutions were
agreed to, approving the receut reform zeetaifeeto,
