FETE CHAMPETRE AND FANCY FAIR.

This undertaking, for the benefit of three of our most
excellent charities, progresses most satisfactorily. Indeed,
all that is required to^ render it one of the most successful
efforts of the kind, which has hitherto• been made in
Liverpool, is favourable weather on the days when the
fete is to be held. Offerings of contributions of every
description are daily pouring in upon the various commit-
tees ;- and the pecuniary contributions-already amount to
upwards of £5OO. Since our last notice, the following
money contributions have been received :
Joseph Brereton, Esq.
George Larke, Esq.
111`Cormick, Essq
J. A. Thine, Esq.

It is now confirmed that the London and North-West-
ern Railway Company have offered to bring down the
military bands from Manchester and Preston free of
charge each day. By the suggestion of his worship the
Mayor of Liverpool, a poor's box has been put up in the
passage of the Town Hall, to receive the contributions of
visitors ; and yesterday it was found that the proceeds had
yielded £4 Os. 9d.
We learn that the ladies are still most active in their
efforts to add better attractions to their several stalls ;
and we can only impress upon those who meditate pre-
senting articles to them, or supplies to the committees,
the importance of the motto " bis dat, qui cito dal."
Our readers probably will be quite unprepared for the
announcement that there will be not less than twelve
bands of music on the ground, four of these being military ;
and with the other endless attractions, and the throng of
beauty and of fashion, it would require a vivid imagination
to realize the picture that the Prince's-park will present
during the three days' faney fair. Perhaps one of the
most pleasing and scientific amusements on the ground
will be the electric telegraph, which Mr. Cross has arranged
shall transmit messages across the lake. The powers of
the galvanic battery will also be exhibited under the same
superintendence. Many curious uses of this now im-
important apparatus will be shown, amongst which we
may mention that fireworks and other explosive materials
will be ignited under water. The affair will appropriately
terminate by a grand miscellaneous concert, which is to
be held at the Theatre-Royal, on the evening of Saturday,
the 11th, at which the leading amateur musical societies of
the town and many professional ladies and gentlemen will
give their assistance.

ST. ANNE'S CHURCH, ST. ANNE-STREET:—The Rev. I
W. Wheeler, perpetual curate of Ainsworth, near Black-
burn, has been appointed to the incumbency of St.
Anne's Church in this town. The rev. gentleman was a
student at St. Bees' College, and after his ordination,
officiated as curate at Trinity Church, Bolton. We
believe the Archbishop of Canterbury, when presiding
over this diocese, appreciated highly the talents and min-
isterial services of the rev. gentleman, which we are glad
to hear are calculated to advance the moral and spiritual
condition of the densely populated district to which he
has been appointed.
A FONDNESS FOR. TITLES OF Horrou.—A ludicrous
instance of this craving for flattery, so common to liberals
and other professing deriders of the honours of aristo-
tocracy, occurred lately in the person of Laurence
Heyworth, Esq. The collector of his district—very
likely a plain man of business—sent a schedule of assessed
taxes to be filled up by the worthy member, and unfor-
tunately addressed it simply to Mr. Laurence Heyworth.
The document was returned by Mr. Heyworth's livery
servant, by his request, with instructions to wait until
it was properly filled up with his fitting title of honeur—
" Laurence Heyworth, Esq., M.P:',--which was at once
done. Laurence Heyworth, Esq., M.P's horse is re-
ported to have gone back a hand higher as the conveyor
of his owner's proper title.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROFS.—Since our last pub-
lication, we• have, in these districts, had plentiful and
most welcome showers of rain, which have given a fresh-
ness and verdure to the whole of the vegetable world,
which is delightful to the eye and gratifying to the heart,
inasmuch as all gives promise of an abundant harvest.
The showers have not had the effect of " laying" any of
the grain crops, though the wheat is getting heavy in the
head as• well as long in the straw. The potatoes continue
to look well and healthy, and the grasses (before almost
parched up) are again reviving—exhibiting a lively and
virgin green. The oats and barley are equally promising,
and all garden stuffs are abundant and fine, including
fruits. The currants, particularly, are more than usually.
excellent; most of the black, which loaded the bushes in
bunches almost resembling grapes, have already been
consigned to the " brass pan." Great difficulty has existed
in the light soils about transplanting broccoli, winter
cabbages, &c., through want of moisture, many of the
plants put down having absolutely been burnt out of the
soil.

- THE PACKET-SHIP " CONSTELLATION": NAVAL VEN-
TILATION.—This splendid American " liner," under the
skilful command of Captain Luce, and measuring nearly
1,800 tons register, or 3,000 tons burden, and, it is super-
fluous to add, the very largest of the recent build of superb
packet-ships, has had a remarkably quick and prosperous
passage from this port to New York, in 24 days, having
on board as many as 860 emigrants whom she delivered in
good health ; and, as we prognosticated in vessels, where
a great altitude is given between decks, the promotion of
health is greatly facilitated. Before this vessel sailed from
Liverpool, we stated our belief that her lower deck space
was far better ventilated and more healthy than the ordi-
nary 'tween decks of the generality of ships, and this is
carried out by the fact tnat she had hardly a single case of
sickness during the passage among nearly 1,000 souls,
comprising crew and passengers. We learn that this gra-
tifying result is mainly attributed to the scientific and
admirable manner in which she is ventilated. The para-
mount advantages of an improved ventilation in vessels
carrying passengers, have been wisely urged by Lieutenant
Hodder, R.N., the head of the Government Emigration
Office here, and the subject is increasingly occupying the
attention of shipbuilders and shipowners. Were the
salutary example of the " Constellation" more universally
followed, we are persuaded that disease and death on
board emigrant ships would be wondrously diminished, if
not reduced to the ordinary ratin,l
