TO THE SURVEYOR OF THE BOROUGH OF
LIVERPOOL.

SlR,—May I request a favourable notice, or report, from you
to head quarters, if you agree with me that a most beneficial
acconamodation may be given to the public, by opening a pas-
sage for pedestrians from the west end of Gascoyne-street to
Carruthers-street, in order to allow at approach (through Mr.
Carter's marble yard, as now permitted) to the foot-way over
the Canal, whereby people can advance to ttie northern docks.
&c., with a celerity and conveuience to which the natives of
that crowded neighbourhood at present appear to be utter
strangers.

Again,--That passengers may be allowed the great advantage
of .a thoroughfare (on sufferance) from Shaw's-brow to St.
John's-lane, through the Old Infirmary Ground, or else through
the Church-yard; iu the latter case a moderate extra com-
pensation might be given to the beadle of St. John's, for un-
locking the gates for twelve hours every day. No doubt this
short approach towards the heart of Old Liverpool would be
found a Wan of considerable value and estimation by every one.
Your's respectfully,
SENEX.

TO CAPTAIN GRIFFITHS, OF TTrn SHIP
"POW H AT TAN."
SIR,--I beg leave, on behalf of self and crew, to return yon
my very grateful thanks for the extreme kindness and attention
shown to us from the date of your relieving us from, the wreck
of the " Byron," until our landing in Liverpool.--I am, Sir,
yours respeetfudy, CHRISTOPHER FORREST.
