ROYAL MERSEY 71:".A.UnT CLUB.—At the monthly meet-
ing on Tueaay, it was determined to hold a hall this
season, which will take place as soon as the arrangements
can be made. There were seven new members elected ;
and previous to the meeting the members sat down to
dinner at the Birkenhead Hotel. The members will hold
their meetings during the winter months at the club-
house, Duke-street, to commence in November. The
yachts are now laid up for the season.
Craver s DEATH OF A CHILD.—An illegitimate child,
about ten months old, named Elizabeth Maddox, whose
parents reside at No. 21, Lydia Ann-street, died on Wed-
nesday under the following rather singular circumstances.
While at tea, the mother, who had the infant on her knee,
gave it a bit of a mutton hone to suck, and in a short time
afterwards the child appeared to be choking. The woman
did not know what to do, and ran off with the child to Mr.
Woods, a druggist close by. He put his finger into the
child's throat and said he felt a piece of meat in the wind-
pipe, and then returned the infant to its mother in a lifeless
state. An inquest was held, when a verdict of " Died by
suffocation" was returned. In recording the verdict, the
coroner expressed his disapprobation of the treatment which
the child had received from the druggist.
WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—At the weekly meeting,
held on Wednesday, at the workhouse, Mr. Harrison pre-
sided. The other guardians present were the Rev. W.
Badnall, Messrs. Allpass, Heyes, Wainsley, Lunt, Abra-
hams, Craig, Roskell, 31edcalf, Tattersall, M`Gee, Horsfall,
G. Harrison, James Birch, Jeffries, Kirkus, Dry, Davies,
Owen, and Mountfield. The balance in the hands of the
treasurer was stated to be £317 13s. 10d. The emu of
£646 4s. Bd. was ordered to be repaid to the public loan
society. It appeared, from the proceedings of the work-
house committee, that spirituous liquors had been intro-
duced into the house, and it was resolved that legal pro-
ceedings should be taken against the offending parties. A
pauper, Jane Hunter, with two children, having applied
to be sent out to New London, Canada, it was agreed that
the consent of the' Poor-law Board should be requested
with reference to the guardians defraying the cost of her
emigration, Tenders for the supply 'of best seconds bread
until the 25th March, 1854, were received from Mr.
Ambrose Archer, at the rate of tetd. per lb. Mr. Cape was
appointed clerk and bookkeeper to the hospital, at the
salary of £3O a year, with rations ; and the clerk was
directed to take proceedings against Mr. Rose, for the re-
moval of a nuisance caused by the deposit of night soil in
Sefton-street, Toxteth-park. On the motion of the Rev.
W. Badnall, the following resolution was unanimously
agreed to :—" That this board, from an anxious wish to
co-operate with the authorities in Liverpool in devising
and adopting measures for arresting the progress of Asiatic
cholera, do hereby request the medical officers Of such
parts -of this union as are situate within the borough of
Liverpool, to make a daily return of all cases of Asiatic
cholera occurring in their respective districts so the Medi-
cal-officer of Health for Liverpool, at the public-offices,
Cornwallis-street; and, further, that the relieving-officers
do report to this board any nuisance which they may con-
sider injurious to public health, or the filthy condition of
any lodging or other dwelling-house of which they may
have knowledge." After the transaction of some other
routine business, the board adjourned.
MEBTING -OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND PIELI?-
3fAnstrAl Baueurn.—ln our advertising columns it
will be seen 'that the fine picture, painted by T. J. Barker,
of the meeting of the two illustrious military chiefs, at LA
BELLE ALLIANCE, on the evening of the Battle of Waterloo,
is now en -view, at the Lyceum, in -Bold-street. The sule-
ject is one which has often-been 'referred to in story, and
several versions of the incident arc given ; but, as a pictorial
scene, it was reserved for Mr. darker, and that artist RhS
treated it with his well-knoWretact and artistic skill. The
'pittalPe consists of two principal groups, the first consist-
ing of His Grace the Dakeuf Wellington, Lord Arthur
Hill, (afterwards Lord Satdys,) and the Hon. henry
Percy ; the other being Fidd-Marshal Blucher, General
Grreisenau, the son of Field-Marshal Blucher, one ex two
other Prussian officers, andean orderly. All the members
Of both groups are mounted, the Duke on his celebrated
-*charger "Copenhagen,",nd Blucher on the horse he had
ridden throughout the clay. All the parties and animals
are portraits, copied from well authenticated and good
likenesses. In point of artistic treatment the Picture is a
very fine one ; the -grouping and general effect being
managed with a fine eye to pictorial combination. In
colour, the effect el twilight (somewhat warred by the
glare of light under which the picture is shown) is truth-
ful, and in its solemnity contrasts expressely with the
dimly seen action, and smothered conflict of the back-
ground, the distance of which is luridly lighted up by the
flames of the farm-house of Caillou. The sky is clear,
transparent, and :serene, of a deep, cold blue tone, relieving
the fiery glare 'of the battle-field. The drawing, and
varied yet' euileed action of the horses are masterly ;
the subdued -energy expressed in the 'easy calmness of
the Duke's -countenance contrasts finely with the eager
and impetuous spirit of the veteran Prussian ; and, as a
whole, the pieture will bear favourable comparison with
most pictures of the day. From the powerful massing of
its parts and of its light and shadow,lt is well adapted for
producing are effective engraving, and in the hands of Mr.
C. J. Lewis is certain to turn out a-pleasing and impres-
sive work Of art.
DREALFt'L ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE IN PRESTON.
—ln connection with the turn-out in . Preston, there
occurredeon Monday night last, an accident of an alarm-
ing and fatal character. About seven o'clock, the card-
room hands, now out on strike, assembled at the Corpora-
tion Arms, Lune-street, Preston, to receive the weekly
allowance of the union. The lancUord, Mr. T.Wor thington,
refused them the large room in front of the house, which
they had used on two previous occasions, and would grant
them only the use of a hayloft over a coach-house in the
yard. :'phis room, which is only about five yards square,
and communicates with a still smaller one over the gate-
way, was densely crowded by hands assembled to
receive money, no fewer than .200, as it is supposed, being
congregated therein at half-past 7 o'clock, at which time
the beam under the centre of the flooring gave way..
Those:who were in the room were precipitated into the
coach--rhouse below, the gates of which were locked. It is
impossible to describe the confusion that ensued. The
committee, in the smaller room,-were horror-stricken, and
(made their escape through the window, by means of a
ladder, into Wharf-street ; but •as the gates were locked,
theysiould render no assistance to the shrieking mass of
men, women, and girls in 'the coach-house. When at
length the gates were openedae dreadful sight presented
itself. The flooring was parted in the middle, the broken
sidesresting on the floor of theecoach-house, and the sides
that had been wrenched from the walls leaning against
the -letter at an angle of about 45°. A girl named Smalley,
14 years of age, died immediately on being removed to the
kitchen of the inn. Jane 13roasibent had her thigh broken,
and now lies at the house of recovery in a precarious con-
dition, from the effects of that and other injuries. Another
woman, living in Marsh-lane, and a girl, residing in
Apeieton-row, are not expected to survive the injuries they
have received. Many other persons have had arms, legs,
or ribs broken, and nearly nil were dreadfully crushed—a
great many being taken oat of,the building in a state of
-insensibility. We have heard ,also of two or three extra-
ordinary escapes. A woman, -with a child in her arms,
received no injury at aIL Another woman, who also had
a child in her arms, let fall her infant, and clung to a hook
in the wall, from which she remained suspended till her
strength was exhausted, and she-was obliged to let go her
hold; dant neither she nor her child received the slightest
injury. Several gentlemen promptly attended the sufferers,
and rendered the most active assistance.
THE ALPACA MANUFACTrRK.—". Sixteen years ago--
that is to say, in the • year 18343—a huge pile of dirty-
looking sacks, filled with some -filrous materials, which
bore a strong resemblance to superannuated horse-hair, or
frowsy •ilongated wool, or anything else unpleasant and
unattractive, were landed at Liverpool. When those
queer-looking bales had first arrived, or by what vessel
broughteend for what purpose -intended, the very oldest
warehouseman in the Liverpool:dock-couldn't say. There
had been once a rumour, a mere wareewuseman's whisper,
that the bales had been shipped from South America on
spec., and consigned to the agency of C. W. and F. Foozle
and Co. But even this seemed to have been forgotten;
and it was agreed on all hands that:-the three hundred
and odd sacks of nondescript hair-Keel were a perfect
nuisance. Tie rats appeared to be the -only parties who
at all approved of the importation, and ,to them it was
the very finest, investment for capital thaelead been known
in Liverpool .4ince their first ancestors had migrated
thither. Well, those bales seemed like-to rot, or fall to
dust, or to • be . bitten up for the partienlar use of the
female rats. Brokers would not so muchaselook at them.
Dealers couldn't • make them out. Manufacturers shook
ttheir heads at Ile bare mention of them. While the
:agent of C. W. alai F. Foozle and Co. felt. quite savage at
• the sight of the invoice and bill of lading, and ice spoke
.to their clerk about.shipping them out to South America
:again. One day, we won't care what &yet .was, or even
what week, or mouth, though things of far:less,national
importance have beenehronieled to the very If-minute
--Tonotlay a plain, business-looking young ram), .with an
intelligent face, and aquiet, reserved manner, was. walking
alone through those same warehouses at Liverpool, when
his eye fell upon some of the superannuated horse-hair
projecting from one of the ugly dirty-looking bales ; some
lady-ratemere delicate than her neighbours, had found at
rather coarser than usual, and had persuaded her lord. and
master-to eject •the portion from her resting place. Oar
friend took item, looked. at it. smelt it, rubbed it, pulled; t
about ; -infect, he did all but taste it, and he would have
done that if it bad suited
,his purpose, for he was York-
shire.' Having held it up to the light, and held it away
from the light,and held it in all sorts of positions, and
done all sorts of ,cruelties to it, as though it had been his
most deadly enemy, and he was feeling quite vindictire—
he placed a handful or two in -his pocket and walked
calmly away, evidently intending to put the stuff to some
excruciating private tortures athome. What particular
experiments he tried with this fibrous substance I am net
exactly in a position to relate, nor does it much signify ;
but the sequel was, that the &erne .qinet, business-looking
man was seen to enter ,the office.ef C. IV. and F. Foozle
and Co., and ask for the head of the Arm. When he
asked that portion of the house if he would accept of
eightpence per pound for the entire contents of the three
hundred and odd frowsy, dusty bags of nondescript wool,
the .authority interrogated felt so confounded, that lie
could not have told if he had been the head or tail of the
firm. At first he fancied that our friend had come for
the express purpose of quizzing hine ; then that
.he was
an escaped lunatic, and thought seriously of calleng for
the police ; hut, eventually, it ended in his making over
to him the Jell of lading for the goods in consideration of
the price offered. It was quite an event in the little dark
office of C. W. and F. Foozle mid Co., which had its
supply of light. (of a very inferior quality) from the grim
old churchyard. All the establishment stole a peep at the
buyer of the South American stuff.' The chief clerk
had the curiosity to speak to him and hear him reply.
The cashier touched his coat-tails ; the book-keeper, a
thin man in spectacles, examined his hat and gloves ; the
porter openly grinned at him. When the quiet purchaser
had departed, C. W. and F. Foozle and Co. shut them-
selves up and gave all their clerks a holiday. But, if the
sellers had cause for rejoicing, not less so had the buyer.
Reader, those three hundred and odd hales of queer-looking
South American stuff contained `alpaca wool,' at that
time entirely unknown to our manufacturers, and which
would still have been but for the fortunate enterprise of
one intelligent, courageous man. The bold manufacturer
was Mr. Titus Salt, in those days a ere beginner, with a
very few thousands to aid hin in his upward career, but
at present one of the wealthiest amongst the wealthy men
of Bradford, in Yorkshire. His fortune has been altoge-
ther built up by the aid of this same alpaca, to the menu-
factare of which he has for the last dozen years devoted
the whole of hittirae sod energiefer-household Words,

The Taurus screw-steamer, arrived in the Mersey on

A PUBLIC MEETING, held in the Manchester Town-
hall on Wednesday afternoon, resolved to invite the Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone to a public demonstration to-morrow
(Wednesday).
MR. JAMES C. FORSYTH has absconded from New York
in the steamer Atlantic, for Liverpool, having taken with
him between 100,000 and 150,000 dollars in cash, the pro-

SHERIDAN SOCIETY.—On Wednesday, the members met
at the Brunswick Hotel to dinner. The chair was occu-
pied by Mr. Samuel Edwards, and the members were com-
plimented upon the efficiency of the society.
THE WINTER COURSE of controversial lectures at St.
Paul's Church commenced on Thursday. The Rev. Dr.

i`Reile preached, the subject being, " How the Church of
Rome spoils the Gospel of Christ."
AMERICAN Mams.—On Wednesday, the United States
mail steam-ship Atlantic, Capt. James West, sailed from
the Mersey for New York, with the usual mails for the
western continent, 206 passengers, and a full cargo of
valuable merchandise on freight.
WILLIAM WILKINSON, master of the flat Mercator, fell
overboard, on Friday afternoon, off the Trafford Dock, and
was drowned. There was no one but his wife on the flat,
and she could not render him any assistance. The body
was found on Saturday morning, at low tide, lying on its
face, outside the Cockle Slip.
CAUTION.—On Saturday afternoon, a girl named Mary
Eagan, living in Lace-street, was pilfering sugar from a
lorry standing in Back Goree, when she had her foot so
severely crushed, by one of the wheels passing over it,
that, when carried to the Northern Hospital, amputation
of three toes was found necessary.
ST. PETER'S CIIIIRCHYARD.—At the meeting of the
Health Committee on Thursday some slight discussion
took place upon a proposition of Mr. Henderson's, with
regard to the opening of a foothpath through St. Peter's
churchyard. Mr. Henderso:k remarked that the arch-
deacon had no objection to it. Ultimately, however, it
was decided to consult with the churchwardens and other
parties through the medium of the Finance Committee;
the general opinion being in favour of opening the path.
'PRE SHIP NELEUS FOR AUSTRALIA.—This vessel
sailed on Wednesday at noon with mails. The Neleus
took ten first-cabin passengers, 30 second-cabin, and about
1,400 tons of cargo—a great quantity more, which had
been offered to her managers, Messrs. Cowie, Scott, and
Roxburgh, being 'shut out. The mail, the largest ever
conveyed from here, and which weighed between 30 and
40 tons, was taken on board during the last three days,
and comprised about 31,000 letters and 62,000 newspapers,
filling 238 large bags. The list of the numbers and the
destination of the mail made up in Liverpool are as follows :

EVANGELISATION OF IRELAND. —A meeting was held
on Friday in the new hall, Clayton-square, for the purpose
of hearing the statements of several of the ministers en-
gaged in the recent mission to Ireland. The meeting
having been opened by prayer, the Rev. Samuel Minton
took the chair, and iu a very clear and lucid address ex-
plained the objects which had called them together.
Messrs. Dickenson and Kerr gave interesting accounts of
their visits to the sister country, and of the treatment
they received, the details of which have been already pub-
lished. The meeting closed with the usual vote of thanks
to the chairman and the speakers.
THE FEMALE PENITENTIARY.—We regret to 'under-
' stand that the funds of this useful and philanthropic in-
stitution have been found inadequate to its efficient sup-
port, and that it is now nearly £5OO in debt. Crippled
exertion has been a necessary consequence or this in-
adequacy of funds, and numbers of the unfortunates who
have expressed a desire to relinquish the dreadful life they
are compelled to lead, have been unavoidably refused
admittance to the penitentiary. In a wealthy town like
Liverpool, where it is known there are fully 5000 of the
unhappy Victims for whose reform the penitentiary exists,
it is to be regretted that the charity should be so ill sup-
ported. As an instance of the desirableness of such an
institution, we may state that, one .young woman, only
20 years of age, who lately died in one of our public
hospitaLs,.from the severity of burns she sustained by her
dress taking fire, on her deathbed •Eiiid, in the house
whence she had come there were twenty-seven girls, pur-
suing the same debasing and destructive course of life
with that in which she
-had met her untimely fate. To
support them in furtherance of the objects of the institu-
tion; • the committee are very desirous of increasing the
earnings of the inmates, and solicit washing and needle-
work as occupation for them. A book lies at this office to
receive the names of donors or subscribers. Subscriptions
will also be gladly received at the office of Joseph King
and Sons, in Union-court, Castle-street, treasurers to the
institution. _
