HEALTH COM/lIMEE,

The usual monthly meeting of this Committee was held
at half-past two o'clock yesterday, in the Town Hall, Mr.
Alderman Dover in the chair. Oth.er members present.—

with, Crosthwaite, Hutchison, Johnson, Anthony, Haydock,

HEtI.IH OF THE TGIVN.

The Medical Officer of Health reported that the deaths
in the borough, for the week ending Saturday last, were
257, being 40 fewer than in the previous week, and ten
less than the corrected average of the same week of the
preceding ten years. Bet if the year 1847 be omitted
from the estimate, (in the corresponding week of which
the deaths were 578), the mortality of last week beceenes
23 more than the average. Of the 257 deaths, 160 were
in the parish, and 97 in the out-townships. From Zyrnotic
diseases the mortality was lower than in any
week of tee preceding ire months, the deaths being 59,
of which there were from scarlatina 23 (showing a pro-
gressive decline) ; hooping cough, 8; typhus, 8 (both of
these being less than in any week of the previous three
months) ; diarrhoea, 6 ; small pox, 4 ; measles, 1 ; chicken
pox, 1; and mumps, 1. '1 he mortality from diseases of
the chest, with c .nsumption, still continues high, the
deaths having been 114, or 24 more than the corrected
average. One death was registered from gout. The
temperature was high throughout the week, the mean
being 49 degrees, while the average of the tame week of
the eleven preceding rare was only 434 degrees. Very
light rain fell daring the week.
The Borough Engineer, the Building Surveyor, and
Iflspector of Nuisances reported various particulars of the
operations in their several departments during the week,
from which it appeared that 199 nuisances complained of
by inhabitants had been inspectee, and means taken to
remedy them; and 1,206 houses in the unhealthiest dis-
trict!, containing 3,880 apartments and 712 cellars, had
been put under e.larasination, with the view of improvinz
their sanitary condition.
A letter was read complaining of the state of 'llount
Vernon-road.
M. Sheil observed that the work now asked to be clone
to this street would have Lem dons long since but for want
of money. (Hear, hear.) The committee were not only
willing, but were anxiously desirous of making every street
in the torn and out-townships as good as it could be
made, but to do so would require money, and that could he
procured only by levying high rates, which all cuffed out
against. (Sear, hear.) He saw a complaint in the
newspapers as to the state of Brunswick-road, which, by-
the-bye, was as good an example as could be cited of the
expense of the Machdana pavement, but there also the same
answer applied—want of money. (Hear, hear.)

PEMBROIZE-PLACE PAVER NT.

The following letter relative to this subject was read :
TO THE HEALTH COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL OF LIVERPOOL

Gentlemen,—l have not, until this evening, looked over
the report of proceedings at the Council of Wednesday, the
2nd inst., and may be too late, for any practical purpose,
with the few observations which I am about to take the
liberty of submitting to your committee. Tne subject is,
"The proposed Macadamising of a portion of Pembroke-
place."
For the accomplishment of this object you have, it
appears, received a memorial, purporting to be signed by
69 persons, the first uarue being that of " Mr. Richardson"
—a gentleman whom, or whose residence in the street, I
have not the plecsure of knowing, although I have been
accustomed, during the, past twenty-two years, to pass
daily up and dawn Pembroke-place—not quite inattentive
to the things around me. And passing thus, and observing,
as I have done, the condition and the treatment of the
road of Pembroke-place, I deem it something of a duty, en
my part, to state to yoer committee what have been my
impressions on the subject.
The road of this place, five or six years ago, was, and
for years had been, Macadamised. During the sixteen
years which I had noticed it in that state, although no
more interested in the expense than any other ratepayer, I
could not, without serious dissatisfaction, see the employ-
men't about every two months, as I thought, of a band of
men, together wiih materials, to dig op and repair the ruts
and hollows which, in wet weather, served for puddle-holes
or lakes; while, in dry weather, the ground and powdered
stone proved no small annoyance to passengers—awl must
have proved a yet greater evil, as I presume, to the
immediate residents.

There ire, then, I presume, two distinct objections to a
re- Macadamising of this road. First, the great additional
expense, which, I doubt not, a reference to your accounts
for the last ten or twelve years will amply prove ; and,
second, the annoyance, of which I have spoken.
To the members in the Council who have taken rp the
case of the memorialists, I would say—Look at the road
in question now, and inquire of some of. the long-settled
'"""'" ~1-i it was before the pavement-with square
sets. Ask Mr. &aye, and his .eiglitwur,
Wilson, and Mr. Byford, and Mr. Kaye, surgeon. I know
nothing of the opinions or wishes of any of Ilase gentlemen,
but they are some of the longest residents. If they have
signed the memorial, it msy be well to pay favourable
attenrion tl it.

But it has been suggested that the noise of vehicics
over the square sets must be hurtful to the church, and
the small Lying in Hospital. Gentlemen who offer this
as a reason cannot be aware that there is a solid and
smooth road opp,sito those buildings ; nor can the
gentlemen who think that scpare sets are out of place as a
pavement for Pamb:oke-place, be aware of the traffic
passing on that road. Besides numerous omnibrissez,, carts,
and wsggans heavily laden with stone for building, road
making up the country, and numerous ether heavy loads to
and from the extensive rope and cable makers, there are
enormous boilers and machinery taken up this road, both
for use and for conveyance, to the railroad, Crown-street.
Apologising for this intrusion on your tine and
attention,—l remain, gentlemen, yours most obediently,

THOMAS SMITK.
To the Health Committee of the Council of Liverpool.
43, West Derby-street, Dee. 10th, 1357.
This concluded the business.

TOXTETH PARK BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

The weekly meeting of this Board was held yesterday
evening, at the Board-room, P,;rk.place, Mr. florsfall in
the chair. The following guardians • ware present :
Messrs. W. B. Jones, C. Batten, Alpus, Robinson,
Harrison, Mcreer, Wilson, Siddeley, Millar, Grindrod,
Ogden, Briscoe, and Leyland.
Mr. GougL'e return from the West Derby Workhouse
showed that there were 396 paupers chargeable to the
parish in the house last week. This week the Dumber was
406. In hospital this week, chargeable to the parish, 35.
The Cle►k lead the following letter, addreased to Mr.
Gregson, regard ng the new workhouse :
Poor Law B.,nrd, Whitehall, 10th Dec., 1857.
Sir,—l am directed by the Poor Law Board to acknow-
ledge the r, ceipt of yours of the 3rd inst., of a memorial
and its enclosure, sigeed by you as chairman of a meting
of the townsldp at Toxteth Park, held on the 19th ult.,
respecting the contemplated new Workhouse of the town-
ship. I am directed to inform you, that after careful
consideration of the statements set forth in that memorial,
the Board have arrived at the conclusion, that there are
sot sufficient grounds to justify them, in interfering with
the decision of the guardians, as to the extent of the
Workhouse accommodation, which should be provided
for so populous and increasing a district as that of Torteth
Park. (Signed) COURTNEY, Secretary.
To M. Gregsou, Chairman,
A letter was reed from the Poor Law Board, approving
of the appointment of medical and relieving officers.
