in connexion with the St. George's Presbyterian Sabbath
Schools was held on Thursday evening, in the spacious
school-room under the Presbyterian Church, Islington.
About 500 persons were present.
HEALTH COMMITTER.—At the weekly meeting on
Thursday, the medical officer reported that during the
week ending the 10th instant, 226 deaths were registered
in the borough, being nine more than the week previous,
and 41 less than in the corresponding week of the four
preceding years. Diseases of the lungs caused 106 deaths,
26 more than in the previous week, and a larger propor-
tion than in any week of the preceding four years. More
than one-half the mortality from zymotic diseases was
caused by scarlatina, which furnished 28 deaths, the same
number as in the previous week. The variations of tem-
perature were considerable during the week. The mean
of the week was 42 7-10th degrees, being nearly two deg.
higher than the previous week, and 32 deg. higher than
the average of the same week of the ten preceding years.
The mean reading of the barometer was 29,59 inches,
more than a quarter of an inch below the average. The
horizontal motion of the air averaged 639 miles daily.
The extreme pressure was upwards of 29 lbs. on the square
inch. Rain fell on the last four days of the week; the
amount collected being 47400 the of an inch.

THE LIVER,POOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1852

WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The usual meeting of the
board took place on Wednesday last, Mr. Roskell in the
chair. Present also were the Rev. W. Badnall, and
Messrs. J. Harrison, Bunting, Lunt, Mountfield, Carter,
E. Johnson, Abraham, Shaw, W. B. Jones, Jeffries,
Craig, Alpass, and Tattersall. Cheques were ordered to
the amount of £879 15s. 11d. The business was routine,
and comprised no items of particular interest.
LIVERPOOL MAnnez SOCIETY.—The adjourned annual
meeting of the Captains' Annuitant Society was held on
Tuesday last, at the Clarendon-rooms, when Mr. W. R.
Sandbach took the chair. It was announced that the
income to be divided was £493, and the scale of payment
adopted was £1 a-year more to adults than last year ;
two captains above 60 years old, £24 ; one captain below
60, £2l ; ten widows above 60, £l9 ; eleven widows
below 60, £l7 each. Eight orphans will be provided for,
according to the scale of last year. These payments
would leave a balance to the credit of the annuity fund
of £lOO, the same amount as last year. £lO were then
voted from the relief fund to the daughters of Captain
Jones, recently deceased. It was stated by the Secretary
that several new members had joined during the last 12
months; and though the persons entering now had to
pay an additional 50 per cent., this was still the cheapest
form of insurance in existence.
Liveneoos, NORTHERN HOSPITAL.—The annual meet-
ing of the friends and subscribers of this institution was
held at the board-room on Tuesday last. Wm. Brown,
Esq., M.P., was in the chair. The attendance of sub-
scribers was very small. The report of the committee,
which was read by Mr. R. B. Anderson, the vice-presi-
dent, showed the following results :—Admitted during
the past year—accidents, 1,993; medical cases on recom-
mendation, 504; surgical ditto, 420. In-patients, Dec.
1850, 102; total, 3,019. Discharged cured, 2,294; re-
lieved, and at own request, 423 ; irregular, 69 ; incurable,
12; died, 111; attending as out-patients, 20; remaining
in the hospital, 90. Of the accidents, 396 were fractures,
39 dislocations, 57 burns and scalds, 1,430 wounds and
contusions, 6 suspended animation, 5 attempted suicides,
60 various. Of the whole number of cases, 1,147 were
sent in from the town ; 440 from the docks ; 32 from
manufactories; 203 from ships; 35 from warehouses; 16
from the canal; and 120 from the railways. The locali-
ties whence the patients originally came, were, Liverpool,
505 - different parts of England, 614 ; Ireland, 1,113 ;
Scotland, 70 ; Wales, 92 ; and foreigneri, 625. The
chairman remarked that he was glad the localities of the
patients had been mentioned, as it must show the strong
and extensive claim of the institution to public support.
The statement of accounts showed a balance to the credit
of the institution of £533 13s. The report was subse-
quently ordered to be printed. The customary votes of
thanks were passed, and a committee for the ensuing year
appointed ; T. Littledale, Esq.. mayor, being president.
DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday. Mr. Turner presided. The annual return of
the marine surveyor set forth the number of ships that
had passed the channel, the assistance rendered by the
life-boats, &c., for the year, with the consumption of oil,
and other expenses.—A complaint was made that the
officers of the telegraph station had neglected to report
the Europa on her last voyage from New York. The
matter was referred.—The proposition of Mr. Robinson,
to take a portion of land from the Queen's Dock to add
to the west quay of the proposed Wapping Dock, was
referred to the committee of works.—Mr. Nicol brought
forward his motion relative to the establishment of an
emigrants' home. A memorial was read in favour of the
proposition from 180 commercial firms of the town. This
set forth the great hardships and impositions systemati-
cally practised upon emigrants from this port, the average
number of whom, per annum, was about 200,000 ; and it
was calculated that the amount of which they were yearly
plundered was about a quarter of a million of pounds.
There were about 500,000 tons of shipping employed in
the trade, realising a sum of £40,000 per annum to the
dock estate. The memorialists urged the' necessity of
the immediate establishment of an emigrants' home ; and
suggested that the committee should, for a temporary
purpose, appropriate a warehouse to the object. Mr.
Holme seconded the proposition. Mr. Evans thought
it rather the duty of the Council than of the Dock Com-
mittee to interfere in such a matter. A special committee
on the subject was then appointed.—The committee
shortly afterwards proceeded to business of finance

DEAF AND DUMB SC 1100 LS.—The annual meeting of the
subscribers to this institution took place in the school-room,
Oxford-street, on Thursday last. The Rev. A. Camp-
bell presided, and the Rev. T. Bold, Messrs. H. Banner, A.
Ellis, A. Thompson, R. Rathbone, and R. Rathbone,
jun.. were also present. The reportof the committee was
read by the secretary, which stated that the condition of
the schools was satisfactory ; hut that an institution of
the kind could never be regarded as completely successful
until able to afford its advantages to every poor applicant
free of charge. Mr. Rhind, the principal of the institu-

ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE COUNCIL.
The MAYOR took the chair at the adjourned meeting
on Wednesday last.

HEALTH COMMITTEE.
The resignation of Mr. Parker was accepted. The ex-
chairman stated that no one could be more ready in for-
giving hasty expressions, but he could not feel comfortable
in sitting at the board while certain gentlemen remained
there. The resignation of Mr. Bennett was not received,
and he, therefore, assumes the chairmanship of the com-
mittee. Both Mr. Fernihough's and Mr. Picton's resig-
nations were accepted. The latter gentleman, however,
disclaimed any connection with the matters which have
recently agitated the committee, and explained that his
withdrawal arose entirely from inability to perform addi-
tional duties.

rual regularit

THE OBSERVATORY : MR. HARTNUP'S REMUNERATION.
The proceedings of the committee contained a letter
from Professor Bond, of Cambridge, United States, com-
plimenting the Corporation upon the satisfactory conclu-
sion of the experiments for obtaining, by an exchange of
chronometers, a given point of longitude, in order to
calculate time correctly.—Mr. NEILL, the Chairman of
the Observatory Committee, said that no less than two
hundred chronometers had been transmitted. An exact
point of longitude was now established, and our vessels
could receive from America the correct time just in the
same way as it was obtained from Greenwich. Alluding
to the cost of the anemometer, Mr. Neill observed, that
the sum appropriated by the Corporation was £l5O, but
that an additional cost of £lO had been incurred by the
erection of an instrument to indicate the motion of the
atmosphere.--The proceedings also embraced a letter from
Mr. Hartnup, the astronomer at the Observatory, re-
questing an increase of salary, and a recommendation of
the committee that the remuneration of Mr. Hartnup be
raised from £2OO to £3OO per annum.—The proceedings
were confirmed, the item of salary remaining over for a
month, according to standing orders.

The meeting then broke up

LIBRARY

AND MUSEUM

The Earl of Derby had communicated with the Mayor,
asking whether the subject of the Derby Museum had
come before the Council at large, and whether his lord-
ship might consider the terms as definitively accepted ;
more particularly with regard to the appointment of a
curator by the Council, from two names mentioned by the
trustees. If such were the case, his lordship would call
the trustees together and make the recommendation.
The Mayor, in his reply, on the 27th December, trans-
mitted to the Earl of Derby a Copy of the last resolution

of the Council, explaining that the Town-clerk had de-
layed forwarding it, in the hope of being able to send a
print of the bill. He also, in the absence of Mr. Picton,
informed the Council that he had held an interview with
Lord Derby, from whom a subsequent letter had been
received, wishing the Council to take charge of the mu-
seum, as his lordship was leaving Knowsley on the 22d
instant. In accordance with the agreement sanctioned
by the Council, his worship thought it advisable—Mr.
Picton, and the committee generally, concurring—that
the Council should in some measure sanction, as far as
they could, the appointment of one of the two curators
whom Lord Derby had nominated, in order that he might
commence his duties at once, and, indeed, superintend
the removal of the museum itself from Knowsley. The
name of the party was Thomas Moore, twenty-eight years
of age, who for nine years had been curator at Knowsley.
The committee had recommended £l2O per annum as the
salary, the sum being, in the opinion of Lord Derby, a
full compensation. To this the Council assented, and
the proceedings of the committee were approved.
THE CAR PROPRIETORS AND THE COUNCIL.
A memorial from the coach and car proprietors was
read, at the conclusion of the minutes, objecting to the
bye-law compelling them to light their lamps, and urging
that a requirement which they deemed so grievously
offensive might be abolished, and that the lamps might
be lighted only on the demand of passengers.—Some dis-
cussion took place on the memorial, but finally the pro-
ceedings of the Committee were confirmed, Mr. WOOD-
RUFF stating, that though the law must be carried out
during the remainder of the season, yet afterwards, if it
should appear to the committee that the regulations en-
tailed a hardship upon the owners, their representations,
he was sure, would be taken into consideration.
The minutes and proceedings of the Church Expendi-
ture Committee were read and confirmed.
The proceedings of the Water Committee were approved
and Passed. on the motion of Mr. HOLT, seconded by Mr.
WOODRUFF.—No discussion took place.
The Coroner's account, amounting to £36 75., was re-
ceived, and referred to the Finance Committee forpayment.
A communication from Mr. Theodore Rathbone, Pre-
sident of the Royal Institution, expressing the wish of
the proprietors to make over to the Council as a free gift
their specimens of natural history, works of art, and pic-
tures, was referred to the Museum Committee.
A memorial from a Coroner's jury, respecting insuffi-
cient allowance for proceeding three miles to view dead
bodies, was ordered to lie on the table.
A memorial from the committee of the Liverpool Town
Mission, urging a relaxation of the bye-law in regard to
carmen plying on Sundays, in order to give them time to

attend places of worship, or to remain quietly at hom
was referred to the Coach and Car Committee.
One or two other applications were referred to tl
committees having charge of the business to which the
related. The Council then rose.

commissioners, "of which the Mayor shall be one." As
to what Mr. owland had stated of the willingness of the
officials to give every information to the commissioners,
he begged to say that they were not ready, and he believed
simply because they thought they could not be compelled.
He (Mr. Bigham) bad gone to the office, being made ac-
quainted with his powers as a commissioner, to search the
books, and Mr. Rowland had refused to let him. He—
not to bring the secretary into trouble—promised not to
repeat the demand till Mr. R. could consult with Mr.
Lowndes, who stated that he was authorised. He had
then waded through the books, and made some extracts;
he begged to say that he had had every facility in making
the extracts, and the books appeared to be kept in an
admirable manner. What he objected to were, not acts
of commission, but of omission, in not carrying out the
spirit of the act. He contended that not a single man
sitting on the committee had been legally appointed.
Mr. LOWNDES said it was not imperative by the act that
the Mayor should he present at a meeting ; by signing the
minutes of the proceedings of the ten he adopted them.
After some further explanations from Mr. Rowland,
the matter dropped.

The following gentlemen were thEn elected commis-
sioners, to supply the vacancies and make up the full
number of 72 :—Messrs. Tyrer, F►sher, Lurie, Bushby,
Brice, Saunders, and Freme.
The next business was the election of the committee.
Mr. GODFREY suggested the appointment of persons
not connected with shipping—men who could not be in-
fluenced by being interested in ship-chandlers' stores,
bread-baking, .&c. He had facts to prove that there
ought to be a different set of men upon that committee,
to see justice done between the committee and the pilots
themselves ; for he found that some eentlemen had been
sitting on that committee at times when they should pro.
perly have been absent. In the case of a pilot named
Wm. Morrison, against whom some charge was brought
connected with the bringing in of the Sir John Beresford,
which lielongs to Mr. Benn, Mr. Benn was sitting there.
He (Mr. Godfrey) thought this was not jast, and moved
that Mr. I3igham be placed upon the committee.
Mr. BECKWITH seconded the motion.
Mr.BiGuAmcould not agree with Mr. God frey 'sremarks.
Mr. R. W. HOUGHTON was much surprised at the ob-
servations of Mr. Godfrey. In regard to the Sir John
Beresford, their then chairman, Mr. Benn, presided upon
that occasion; but he (Mr. Houghton) was in a position
to state that ho took no part in it. He thought it desirable
that they should have shipowners upon the committee,
not tradesmen who have other business to attend to. In
the last twelve months there were only three days in which
there was not a quorum. He therefore moved the re-e 1(
tion of 61.0 i. late chairman, Mr. J. N. Wood
not. less

Mr. BIGHAM seconded the motion, which was agreed to.
Mr. JENKINS showed the necessity existing of having
as many nautical men as possible upon the committee,
who had often to examine young pilots.
In answer to Mr. Jeffreys, it was stated that the master
pilots attended the examinations, but they were interested
in the promotion of the parties.
The committee was then appointed as follows, Mr. Wro.
Fisher, who was nominated, giving way for Mr. Brice :
Messrs. Wood, Brice, Bighorn, Houghton, Jenkins,
Shand, Potter, Eyre Evans, Kendall, and Nicholson, new
members • and the following were re-elected,—Messrs.
Mann, Vorrall. and Kneeshaw, making the total num-
ber of 13.

Mr. ROWE, shipbroker, pointed out the desirability of
having the committee meetings open to reporters.
The MAYOR said it was a question for the committee
themselves to decide.
