board. The Poor-law Board having suggested some alte-

fees, would visit the workhouses of Bradford, Coventry,
and Kettering, respectively under the superintendence of
the four candidates. The sub-committee reported that.

There are at present 2,252 paupers in the house, against

to proceed to Cork to inquire into the qualifications of
Mr. Carr, as governor, had returned, and the result. was
so satisfactory, as to render unnecessary the visit of any
deputation to Bradford, Coventry, or Kettering. He
moved that a special meeting of the Vestry should he held
on Thursday morning, to proceed to the election of a go-
vernor. Mr. Clarke seconded the motion, which was car-
ried, an amendment of Mr. Gardner's being lost by fifteen
to six.—On Thursday last, a special meeting of the Vestry
was held, when the secretary having read the names of the
candidates submitted by the committee for the office of
governor, viz. :—Mr. Kelby, of Kettering ; Mr. W. W.
Harris, of Coventry ' • Mr. Jos. Speed, of Bradford ; Mr.
Geo. Carr, of Cork • Mr. W. L. Heathcote, of Liverpool.
The Vestry proceeded to the vote, when there were for
Mr. Carr, 22; for Mr. Heat hcote, 5. Mr. Carr was duly
elected. The new governor will enter upon his duties in
about a fortnight.
THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.—At the meeting of, this
committee, on Thursday last, Mr. Langsdale in the chair,
Dr. Duncan, the medical officer of health, submitted his

throughout the borough. The number of deaths in the
various wards situated in the parish of Liverpool was 8700,
being at the rate of 1 in 291. In the extra-parochial
wards the deaths were 3125, or 1 in 38, thus making the
total mortality of the borough of Liverpool 11,825, or 1 in
