sails on Saturday next for Rio Janeiro.
On Thursday, an. apprentice, named Eaton, on board
the Bess Grant, in Queen's Dock, fell into the hold upon
atone ballast; and was frightfully injured.
ST. MARK'S ScaooLs.—A sermon was preached on
Sunday at St. Mark's. Church, on behalf of the above
schools by the Rev. Wm. Pollock, M.A., and a collec-
tion made amounting to upwards of £65.
Several members of the congregation of St. James's
'Church have presented the Rev. C. A. Graham, curate o
that church, with a gold watch and chain and a purse. as
an acknowledgement of his valuable services.
The hatches of the Emily, from Shanghae, were opened
at nine o'clock in the morning, in the Albert Dock, and
915 bales silk, 26 bales hemp, 1,168 chests tea, and 6
eases, contents unknown, were landed before two o'clock.
GREAT MORTALITY IN LIVERPOOL.—SO great has
been the mortality, in the neighbourhood of St. James's-
reet, that one night last week no less than eighteen
wakes" of dead bodies took place between Crosbie-
atreet and Lower Parliament-street.
We understand that Messrs. Troutbeck and Son, Hano-
ver-street, have in the kindest manner intimated to the
Illen in their employ that their day's wages shall be paid
to them for Wednesday next (the Fast-day), and that they
eznect them all to observe the day strictly in accordance
With her Majesty's proclamation.
Slit WM. STANLEY'S HOUNDS.—OR Thursday, the
last meeting of the season of Sir W. M. Stanley's hounds
took place at Bidston. The day being remarkably fine, a
large number of persons were present from Birkenhead
and the neighbourhood, cars and horses being in great
requisition. The run was considered one of the best of
The season.
The Sarah Sands brought over from New York a large
barrel of oysters, alive, and in prime condition. They
were supplied with salt water on the passage, and occa-
sionally regaled with a little oatmeal. She also brought
several packages of eggs, a novelty in the exports from the
United States, fifty barrels of potatoes, and an immense
quantity of other provisions.
Ma LATE MR. C. S. RowLAND.—lt may not be ge-
nerally known that a subscription has been opened, at the
Parish-office, for the benefit of the widow and five children
of the late Mr. C. S. Rowland. This will, no doubt, be
gratifying to a number of persons who enjoyed his ac-
.quaintance when alive, and afford them an opportunity of
expressing their friendship and esteem. Mr. Litherland,
the cashier, we believe, receives subscriptions.
PROPOSED NEW FERRY.—A. plan has been prepared
" a proposed new ferry at High Seacombe, between the
present ferry at Seacombe, and Egremont. The slip,
'eb will be 90 yards long from low water to high wa-

ras!ing to the north of Abbotsford Hotel to the road
"'ling to Wallasey, Liscard, cutting directly through the
land of Mr. J. R. Pim.
WATER.-111.r. Thomas Rowlandson has taken the field
for the purpose of proving that a sufficient supply of
Water can be obtained from the new sandstone rock in the
tieiglibotirhood of Liverpool, without going to the heart
of North Wales or to the Rivington-hills. He thinks
that not less than 23,733,000 gallons of water could be
obtained daily from the red-stone rock, at a moderate
cost. _ _ _

'ute Highlanders, has received the following sums in aid

4ASTRAM FRARY.—It will be seen, from an adver-
irment in another column, that this most delightful of
Nje/Ties will again become the favourite resort of the
bnil on and after Wednesday next. A new pier is now
fasit'ing, and in addition to the Royal Tar, (one of the
„r t. steamers on the Mersey,) the spirited proprietors
and fpurehased a new and fast steamer, by which trips to
and garde Easham may be made every hour. The grounds
.s-
-proved. have also been very much altered and im-
11i, G
of tb inz.—On Thursday there was the highest tide
hems Year, and the day being particularly fine, the pier-
on the margin of the river were densely crowded by
4:031110nably dressed persons. The wind was from the
eruth-east, and at tide time the water was as calm as that
' a mill.pond. Unfortunately, there was a haze at the
tilt-ranee of the river, and the essels, of which a large
humber went to sea, were lost to the spectators before
th
~ey got far out ; but altogether the river presented a very
'"et.aresque appearance.
esstzE. DINNERS.--Yesterday evening, the High-
toeriff, the Mayor, and the• Grand Jury were entertained

af:lsl, take place on Wednesday evening, the third day
0' the swearing in of the Grand Jury, but Wednesday
-`en the day appointed for the national fast, Tuesday has
-`eAll selected for the issuing of the invitations.
an?.ll. ANTI-MATTIEWITE EXIIIBITION.-011 Saturday
orrnoon, as a sailor was conveying a couple of gallons
ts°randy in a jar on board one of the vessels in the
dot
rge's Dock, the jar was accidentally broken at the
(It"b_ona of James-street. A number of lumpers and
be i's, young and' old, were instantly at the spot, and
4,7 contrived, by going upon all-fours, to imbibe the
4,7113 ting liquid by lapping it from the hollows in which it
it,uPie 21 collected. One very young girl, following the ex-
of others with older heads upon their shoulders,
dpied some of it with a spoon into her tin can, and, no
oubt, took it home to regale her parents. By all who
shared in the spoil the accident was held to be the best
todsend that had occurred in the neighbourhood of the
ead-constable's residence for a long time.
