The cindering and gravelling of the drives ..
and also of the play-grounds, has been a work of consi-
derable time anti labour. The quantity of material con-
sumed for this purpose has been enormous. For instance,
there has been laid on the four small play-grounds in the
Queen's Park, 125 loads of gravel.
The trees have, generally speaking, borne transplanting
very well. Some trees of more than 30 fart in height
have been removed without sustaining any injury. Alto,.
gether, The trees and shrubs, purchased for the three
parks, in addition to those already on the ground, have
cost the committee about £BOO.
A great number of plants, including a collection of
American plants, a number of flowering shrubs, roses,
annuals, &c. have been planted in the flower-garden of
the Peel P,rk, the roses-iron and borders of the Queen's
Park, and in the parterres of the Philips Park; and owing
to the long drought and extreme heat of the weather, it
has been absolutely necessary to water these regularly for
some weeks past ; and in this way, the peculiarities of the
weather and the temperature have involved an expendi-
ture of not less than £2O a week ; of herwise about £5OO
of valuable shrubs, ptintt;, and flowers would have been
totally destroyed by the heat and drought.
We may just notice that prudential considerations have
led the committee to abandon their original intention of
having a b )wling-green at each park. Not only would
the outlay be large; but the cost of keeping them in good
condition would be very heavy, involving for each green

substitute gymnasia, with all the usual apparatus of
climbing and leaping poles, swings, horses, &c. Sixty
open seats (20 feet long and a foot broad), are about to bet
constructed, 20 for each park; these are to put in shady,
cool places; and there are also to be a number of rustic
seats of old tree stumps, logs of timber, &c., placed in

where they were required. He therefore expressed hionlym-
self cordially in favour of the clauses.
Mr. HUGH H ORNBY said the vote of the Council would
be whether they would accept of the bill as it was now re-
turned to them, or reject it. The two clauses had been
introduced by the House ot Lords. If they obtained the
powers which they were required to apply for, th, y would
not be called upon to build warehouses where they were
not requisite--as, for instance, round the timber docks. or
docks for coasters. He had never been an advocate for
the clause, but, having gone so far, he was of opinion that
they should accept the bill.
Mr. Alderman EARLE enquired of Mr. Moore what
amount of xpense bad already been incurred in forward.
Inc the hill ?
Mr. B. MoonE said not so very much, and that the
whole had arisen from the opposition to it. (Ilear.)
Mr. EARLE—Will the warehouses clear five percent. ?
Mr. EVAN S--Aye and more. I should beglad to lease
them for 124 per cent. (.1 laugh.)
Mr. 13RAM LEY MOORE said the bill was R most impor-
tant one as regarded the effect it would have in affording
means of export and imuorr at a cheaper tate. It would
enable them, indt ed, to underwork every other port in the
kingdom. Here they would have a dock at the east end
of the King's Dock, in immediate contiguity with the
railway tunnel, which would be accessible without car-
tage. [Mr. Evans remarked that that was the case now
as regarded the King's Dock.] Another great advantage
would he that cattle, sheep. &c., could be conveyed to the
bottom of the tunnel, by toe intended railway along the
inner quays, trom the North Docks ; and this, he con-
ceived, would have the effect of bringing back what they
had lost of that trade, in favour of Fleetwood, and
would also increase it—the inconvenience of driv-
ing the animals through the town to the Edge Hill
station hieing done away with. %%NI respect to

that on Friday morning, ahout eleven o'clock, while he
was in the packet, about two miles outside the Bell Buoy,
he saw the body of deceased floating in the water. He
had the corpse taker on board, and it was on the vessel's
arrival at. the port, taken to the dead-house. The face was
much disfigured.—Thomas Perry, a boatman, said that
he knew the deceased. Eleven days ago, deceased, ano-
ther man, and himself, were in a boat in the Formby
Channel. The wind was blowing fresh, and there was a
heavy swell on the bar (or bank). The boat got broad-
side to the sea, and a wave struck her and upset her. By
this, they were all three thrown into the water, and the
boat got under it. Witne-s got hold of the mast, and

DEATH BY FIGHTING.--On Thursday, about one
o'clock, John Frost and John Davies, together with some
other parties, were drinking together at a public-house in
Vauxhall-road. Davies took Frost's cap from his head,
supposed in a joke, and handed it to some of the other
men, who were in the house. Words then ensued, and
Frost struck Davies a bow on the side of the head, just
under the ear, which proved almost instantaneously fatal.
At the inquest, a verdict of " manslaughter" was re-
turned against Frost. .
