SELECT VESTRY.—The fortnightly meeting was held on.
Tuesday. The Rev. Rector Campbell presided. George
S4-ory was appointed poor-rate collector in the place of
Mr. Perris, resigned. Several applications had been made
for assistance to enable people in a pauper condition to
emigrate to Australia, and the answer in each case had
been that the proposition could not be entertained for the
present. The total number of inmates in the house, on
the 23rd ultimo, was reported to have been 2097, against
1920 at the corresponding date of last year. Among these
there were 597 sick cases. The total number of admissions
to the vagrant sheds during the past week had been 515
males, 216 females, and 94 children : total, 825. A long
and detailed report was submitted on Workhouse manage-
ment, which was not read, but of which Mr. Willmer gave
notice that he would move the adoption at the next meet-
ing. The minutes of the Cottage Rating Committee were
read and confirmed.

ATTENDANCE OF LANCASHIRE 'MEMBERS IN THE
HOUSE.—The divisions during the session of 1852 num-
bered 126, in which there voted—C. Hindlev, Ashton,
104 times ; J. Brotherton, Salford, 103 ; J. Pilkington,
Blackburn, 82 ; W. 3. Fox, Oldham, 76 ; J. Heywood,
North Lancashire, 75 ; Sir J. Walmsley, Bolton, 65 ; T.
Greene, Lancaster, 61 ; J. Bright, Manchester, 60; J.
W. Patten, North Lancashire, 58; T. M. Gibson, Man-
chester, 56; M. Wilson, Clitheroe, 49; A. Henry, South
Lancashire, 48 ; W. Brown, South Lancashire, 44 ; R.
B. Armstrong, Lancaster, 43 ; Sir Geo. Strickland, Pres-
ton, 43 ; W. S. Crawford, Rochdale, 39 ; S. Blair, Bol-
ton, 37 ; G. Greenall, Warrington, 37 ; R. A.Thicknesse,
Wigan, 31 ; Sir T. B. Birch, Liverpool, 19; C. P. Gren-
fell, Preston, 19 ' • Col. Lindsay, Wigan, 17; E. Cardwell,
Liverpool, 14 ; J. Duccuft, Oldham, 10; J. Hornby,
Blackburn, 3; R. Walker, Bury, I. It will thus be seen
that Sir Thomas Birch and Mr. Cardwell have not been

ssiduous in attention to their parliamentary duties

THE NEW LINE OF AFRICAN MAIL STEAM-SHIPS :
LAUNCH AT BIRKENHEAD.—The first of the squadron
for carrying the African mail, under Mr. Macgregor
Laird's contract with the Government, was launched, on
Saturday, from the building-yard of Mr. John Laird,
Birkenhead. Her dimensions are, length between per-
pendiculars, 165 feet; beam, 22 feet ; depth of hold, 12
feet 6 inches. She is 400 tons burthen, and is to be fitted
with the screw-propeller, driven by two engines of 25
horse-power each, from the manufactory of Messrs.
Fawcett, Preston, and Co. She is named the Fore-
runner ; the other three vessels comprising the squadron
being Faith, Hope, and Charity. Her water-lines are
hollow. She has a considerable rise of floor, and a long
run. The screw will work in solid water, and, notwith-
standing the small power, great comparative speed must
be attained. She is of great strength, combining good
carrying capacity with lines likely to attain speed ; and
the run up to the screw space insures the easy and solid
flow of water to that point, a most important matter in
screw-vessels.
ST. JOHN'S CHURCH AID ASSOCIATION.—The quar-
terly meeting of this useful society was held on Thursday
evening last, at the school-rooms, Great Crosshall-street.
The room was well filled, and the proceedings commenced
nt, half-past seven o'clock. The chair was taken by the
Rev. W. F. Taylor, M.A., president. The meeting was
opened by singing and prayer; after which the Chairman
read and expounded a passage of Scripture, enforcing the
duty of preaching the Gospel, notwithstanding every op-
position. The Rev. Mr. Ireland, curate of St. John's,
addressed the meeting in favour of the Church Missionary
Society, and strongly advocated its claims to the support
of the people of God, contrasting the different social, civil,
and religious conditions of those countries where the
Word of God had free course and where it had not, as
exemplified in North and South America, the Protestant
and Romish countries of the continent, and the north and
south of Ireland. The Rev. W. Clementson, M.A., rector
of Kimberley, Notts., next addressed the meeting in
favour of the Jewish Society, and, in a speech of some
length, eloquently urged the duty of complying with our
Lord's express command, that in all our efforts to pro-
mote the CBll9O of God our first attention should be
directed to the Jew. After a few remarks from the Chair-
man, the meeting was concluded with singing and bene-
diction. Subscriptions, &c., were received by the treasurer,
Owen Williams, Esq., to the amount of £l9 ss. 9d.

ANNUAL COUNTY SESSIONS.—The annual general ses-
sion of the peace for this county was held on Thursday,
at. the Court-house, Preston. In the absence of the
Venerable Archdeacon Brooks, T. B. Addison, Esq., pre-
sided. The first subject for consideration was the assess-
ment of money to be raised by rates in the ensuing half
year. The county treaeurer submitted an estimate of
funds required to carry on the expenditure to the end of
February, 1853. A rate of 2d. in the pound will be re-
quired from Kirkdale, yielding £lBOO. Mr. Watts, in
reference to the sum required for general purposes, asked
what was the balance in hand. The Rev. C. E. Kendal
sai3 it was £7773 Bs. 3d. Mr. Watts contended that
there was no occasion for a rate at all for general purposes.
A discussion took place, and explanations were given,
after which the whole of the rates were agreed to. The
salaries of several officers were confirmed. A recommen-
dation of the visiting justices to sell a portion of land
belonging to the Preston House of Correction, for the
enlargement of St. Mary's Church, was adopted, with an
addition, to the effect that compensation should be made
to the present occupant. A discussion respecting the
Heaton-Norris constabulary rate ended in its being re-
ferred to the Constabulary Committee. In consequence
of the recent increase in burglaries, four additional police-
men were appointed for the division of Prescot, and ten
for the division of Kirkdale. The meeting then adjourned.

HEALTH CoreaterTee.—On Thursday, at the weekly
meeting of this committee, Alderman Langsdale, the
chairman, presided ; and the other members present were
Messrs. Nicholson, Fleming, Beckwith, Chalmer, and
Henderson.—The medical officer of health reported that,
during the week ending 26th June, the deaths registered
in the borough, amounting to 206, show a decrease of 28,
as compared with the week previous, and an excess of 22
as compared with the same week of the four preceding
years, excluding the cholera mortality of 1849. Although
the general mortality was lower than in any of the three
weeks immediately preceding, there was an increase of 9
in diseases of the zymotic class, owing to the large number
of deaths from measles, which exceeded the number in
any previous week since the sanitary act came into oper-
ation. Of 7G deaths from zymotic diseases, 34 were from
measles. Of the total 306 deaths, not less than 123, or
nearly 60 per cent., were below five years of age, a greater
proportion of infantile mortality than had occurred during
the previous eight months. The medical officer of health
submitted a letter from the proprietor of the bone-button
works, in Richmond-terrace, stating that he had taken
other premises, and would lose no time in closing his pre-
sent works.—A memorial was read from the inhabitants
of Ellenborough-street, Scotland-road, complaining of a
nuisance occasioned by the re-burning of animal charcoal
at a sugar works in that neighbourhood ; and two gentle-
men attended the committee for the purpose of enforcing
its prayer. It appeared that Mr. Fresh had received nu-
merous complaints as to the nuisance occasioned by the
works in question, and that Mr. Duncan had been, but
always at times when no offensive odour was emitted.
The parties were instructed to send him word when the
nuisance was sufficiently great to sustain an information.
Dom COMMITTEE.-The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday, Mr. Turner in the chair. In reference to the
erection of some buildings at the Huskisson Dock with-
out notice being sent to the Health Committee, the
opinion of the solicitor had been taken, which was, that
the act of parliament did not extend to the buildings on
the dock estate. The secretary was directed to write to
the Health Committee in conformity with such opinion.
Several vacancies having occurred in the warehouse de-
partment at the Albert Dock (one or two of the officials
having resigned to emigrate to Australia), it was re-
ferred to the committee to make the necessary appoint-
ments.—A letter was read from Mr. Braithwaite Poole,
calling attention to the inconveniences experienced by the
London and North-Western Railway Company in trans-
porting timber from the docks, and requesting additional
timber accommodation at the Egerton Dock until some
permanent arrangement could be made. Referred to
the Harbour Masters' Committee.—A letter from a firm
in London (agents to the Royal Academy), calling atten-
tion to the necessity of haying accommodation at the
transit sheds, Nelson Dock, for the more careful examina-
tion of pictures, sculpture, and other works of art, was
referred to the Harbour Masters' Committee. It was
announced that advertisements bad been issued for speci-
fications, &c., in connection with the building of the
Stanley Dock warehouses, and that the plans might be
seen at the dock surveyor's office.—Mr. Gregson wished
to know from Mr. Hartley, the surveyor, whether he was
making a dock at the north end of the Huskisson Dock.
The surveyor replied that they were not forming a dock ;
what they were doing was merely necessary to sustain the
river wall.—Mr. Gregson contended that it was a dock if
anything.—The surveyor persisted in denying that it was
a dock. A. long altercation ensued, in the course of
which it transpired that 800 men were at work, and the
excavation would be finished in a fortnight.—Mr. Shand
said an intimation was given to the committee that certain
men well skilled in dock making should be retained, and
it was desirable they should have employment.—Mr.
Evans : It is keeping up a standing army of workmen
without authority.—The recommendation of Mr. Tobin,
that the committee of works should report on the matter,
was agreed to.

DEJEUNER ON BOARD THE MARCO POLO. On
Wednesday, a number of ladies and gentlemen were
invited to a splendid entertainment given on board the
Marco Polo, on the eve of her departure for Australia.
The Marco Polo has been chartered by government for
the Australian emigration service. She was built at St.
John's, Newfoundland, and is 1625 tons register. She is
the largest vessel that ever went out to Austrklin, and will
carry a greater number of passengers than were ever before
taken by one ship to the Australian ports. The dejeuner
was provided by Mr. Lynn in his best style. The guests
numbered about SO, and included several ladies. Mr.
James Baines presided, and Mr. Mackay, one of the
owners. and Captain Forbes, were vice-chairmen.—Mr.
James Baines propcsed " The town and trade of Liver-
pool," to which Mr. Harrison, an African merchant,
responded.—Mr. Samuel Booth gave " Success to the
Black Ball line of emigrant ships."—Mr. James Baines
responded on behalf of himself and his co-owners of the
Marco Polo. After predicting the most satisfactory
results to the Marco Polo as regards her sailing powers,
he proceeded to speak of the importance of the colony.
So far back as from 1822 to 1829, in seven years, her
art of wool increased from 172,880 lbs. to 1,006,000
or sixfold ; and she now exports 13,262,700 lbs., an
e, in 23 years, of nearly 44 fold ; all which bad been
hen Australia was comparatively unknown, and
