the wo

house, it was referred

consider whether two stipendiary officers, as formerly,
would not be sufficient for the duties. The Medical
Board reported that two house surgeons were required,
and they recommended that the salary of the assistant
house surgeon should be increased to £lOO a-year. in
order to secure the services of a competent person. The
Workhouse Committee recommended that the present
arrangement be continued, and that an apothecary be ap-
pointed at the salary of 21s. per week. Mr. Ferguson
gave notice that, at the next meeting, he should move the
temporary appointment of an apothecary.—Mr. T. A.
Bushby sent a letter to the board resigning his situation
as vestryman. Mr. Scholefield proposed a resolution, to
the effect " that all relief granted by this board to poor
persons residing in other unions 1?1. places, and who have
become irremovable therefrom, in consequence of the
operation of the Removal. Act of 10th Victoria, be forth-
with discontinued, but that authority be given to continue

the relief to other non-resident paupers not irremovable
It was explained that such a resolution was obligator
_ _

not only by the act of Parliament, but in self-defence, in
consequence of other parishes adopting a similar course
with regard to the poor now resident and irremovable in
Liverpool. In the course of a short conversation which
took place upon the operation of the act of Parliament,
the Rev. Rector Brooks said the act seemed to make
parties irremovable, and not to make settlements. it
wasthe most extraordinary act he ever read, and would
make the greatest possible confusion.

GIG APROllB.—Those who love a drive, and there are
few who do not, will find comfort indescribable by availing

themselves of One of Ireland's Buffalo Robes as

apron. There is something pleasing in the idea of being
snugly within shelter during a heavy shower, but it is
still more desirable to be able to resist the keen stings of
hoary winter—to be whirled through the air with rapidity,
without feeling its piercing cold. This may be obtained
in the gig or the carriage by using one of Ireland's
woollen-lined Buffalo Robes, which possess, in addition
to their warmth, the advantage of being handsome ani
fashionable, being now used in leading circles in London.
AMERICAN HAMS AND SHOULDERS.—When we a few
weeks since, announced the importation of hams cured
by Mr. Early, of Baltimore, we expreseed our conviction
that the quality was such as would make them an article
of ready sale in the English market. Our expectations
have been fully realized, the market is nearly cleared,
but their place is being supplied by shoulders (cured by
Mr. Duffield,) of very superior quality; indeed the
greatest difference between them and the hams is the
price, for they possess the same rich flavour, taste as well,
present the same fleshy redness, emit while cooking, the
same aroma, and are entirely free from that reastiness
with which too many of our English hams and shoulders
are touched. A list of grocers by whom they are sold
appears in our first page, and as they are retailed at sd.
per pound, they must, in the present state of the markets,
be highly acceptable to a great portion of the population.
