THE DAY'S NEWS.

An official report of the minutes oc a meeting,
hell at the Borough Built, will be found in another
part of to-dayls impression. All deposits of and
under £2OO will be forthwith eefunded• Depositors
of sums above ec:2oo will be supplied with bills
extending aver pet iods of six, twelve, and eighteen
months, such bllls to bear iatereat at the rate of 7
per cent. This, on the whole, is a much more
satisfactory termination of the -B ink suspension
than was anticipated, seeing that the negocia.tions
with the brink of I.4;ngland ended whhout any aid
being granted to the Borough Bank.
liirldale`Qaaeter Session, were opened yester-
day, Lord Stanley, M.P., cheirmen, presiding.
After the usual routine boeiness had been disposed
of, a reost interesting decument from the chaplain
of the gaol was road. It was a complete epitome
of all the commitments-for the past three months,
and the worthy chaplain at great length, and with
much force, deplores the increase of drunkenness
Certainly, from the fearful list -of crimes committed
under the influence of ititoxication, as instanced by
the chaplain, the baneful etLets of drink seem to
be increasing.
A full report of an ex'raordinary ease wruch came
before the magistrates yesterday, will be feund iu
another column. Mr. Gough. master of the West
Derby Workhouse, was summoned by a woman,
late one of the paupers in that .Union, for the
maintenance of a child, which the complainant
avers Mr. Gough is the father of. The investiga-
tion occupied upwards of four hours, but the pee-
Biding magistrate., Mr. Holme, dismissed the sum-
mons, being of opinion that the evidence brought
forward by the complainant was not sufficiently
corroborative. Yet, Mr. Jelolme's decision was
"-without any prejudice," leaving it for.the option
of Council to take further proceedings, should he
think proper This, it is uederstood, will be done.
A eno-thee of 111... of
Tae "roxteth Park Commissioners hell a meeting
yesterday. Tee most important portion of the pro-
ceedings was that relating to the maoted question of
incorpktrating the rural district of Tox--etii Park with
the borough of Liverpool. The Committee a ppoiuted
to inquire into the subject, after doecribing the
advautag-s and disadvautages which would accrue
to the parish or township of Toxteth by such
amalgamation, say that the suggested incorpora-
tion with the borough would be in no respect
injuriou either to the owners of property or to the
ratepayers• On the contrary, many minor advan-
tages may .he anticipated in aiditioo to those
before refearred to, as, for -example, ueity of
managemeot, additional foot-erassings and lamps,
the watering of the roads, 1567. ; these latter
convenienees,the Board have not felt justified in
providing, though the cost is small, as the area of
of taxation iseao limited. If it be further considered
that there iN a-ery great diffi.iulty in securing upon
the Board the services of the number of gintiemen
specift ad by ithe,act, your committee think that the
suggested incorporation will appear to be .vety
desirable; anal that year by year, tifs the _popula-
tion inereasFs, rtn4 -the district becomes more and
more assimilated to Liverpoo', the expediency of
such a measure will grow into art urgent necessity.
Your Committee, therefore recommend the.:;a spe-
cial meeting of theeeetenayers be convened for the
consideration of the. sujeet, with a view to the
()peeing of the resaieite negociation,-, should the:
StliNeacion of incocoovation be approved ,a 1 by the
meeting."
