of Ducdanion Castle, Cork, together with specimens of
amethyst mid wavellite. Another addition to the museum
is a case of snelian lepidoptera, and some specimens of
fossil ferns, presented by Mr. J. W. Gilbert Cummins.
SEAFORTH AND WATERLOO.—A movement is said to
be making by a number of respectable individuals in both
these places, who have united to introduce into their re-
spective localities the operations of the Public Health
Act, which confers upon a local board nearly all the
powers of a special locaktimprovement act. By this act a
system of sewerage, a 'supply of water, the removal of
nuisances, lighting and paving, good roads, and various
other sanitary advantages, are placed within the reach of
the inhabitants of any defined district through the instru-
mentality and management of a local board.
ELOPEMENT TO LIVERPOOL.—A few days ago, while
the ship Constellation was lying in the river, preparatory
'to sailing for New York, one of the passengers was appre-
hended, and his newly-married wife, himself, and his
luggage, brought on shore, and conveyed in custody to
Glasgow. It turned out that he was a baker from the
neighbourhood of that city, and having failed to meet a
bill due to his corn merchant, he suddenly got married,
and eloped with his bride to Liverpool en route to
America, hoping by that expedient to escape his liabili-
ties. His creditor, however, got wind of his whereabouts,
and sent a messenger after him; armed with a warrant
for his apprehension, An officer searched all the vessels
about leaving the port, while the messenger searched the
streets in the hope of meeting the runaway. He did
meet him, just come ashore on a trivial errand, ut the
messenger, not having the warrant, was at a loss how to
apprehend him. The baker tried to get rid of his trouble-
some companion, and at last darted into nn omnibus.
The other stuck to him, however, and hit upon the ex-
pedient of giving the runaway into custody 'on the charge
of picking his pocket. Once in the hands .of the police,
the warrant was soon brought to light, and the baker
then disclosed how very nearly he had ,eseaped. The
bridegroom is now in prison at Glasgow; the disconsolate
bride has returned to her parents.
HEALTH COMMITTEE.—Mr. Alderman Langsdale pre-
sided at the supplemental meeting of this body, which was
held on Tuesday. After the disposal of one or two minor
matters, a long statement was read from Mr. Rose, corn-
plaining'that he had to cart away 'a quantity of street
sweepings, to an extent unanticipated at the time of his
making the contract. After some :conversation, it was
agreed that Mr. Newlands should-find as much additional
carting as might be required, and that the cost should be
deducted from the amount of Mr. Rose's contract.. A re-
pert was then read from Dr. Dusman, the water-engineer,
in 'reference to the charge brought against him by Mr.
Bighorn, at the last meeting, 'of having neglected to
'repair the water-pipes in Crown-Street when laid bare, but
-afterwards tearing up for the purpose some street bottom-
ing, which had been laid after it had become solidified,
and thus causing expense and delaying the completion of
the pavement of the street. The gist of Mr. Duncan's de-
-fence was, that he did not knew that the level of the street
was going to be lowered, and-he said he had constantly en-
de,avoured to work in unison with the Health Committee
officers. A number of tenders to contract for the construe-
' tion of sewers were then opened. The sewers required had
been divided into five batches, in different districts. The
total cost of the sewers on" the various contracts was 'about
£7,000.
TURN-OUT AT RUBNLHY.—On Friday the notices,given
by the master spinners of the Burnley district, which in-
eludes Collie, Marsden, 'Barrowford, and a .few smaller
places, expired ; and no arrangement having been effected
with the men, about seventy mills were stopped, many of
which, it is said, the masters do not care to start-again
before Christmas. Some of these are large -concerns.
One of them, that of Messrs. Georgeßarnes and Brothers,
employs about a thousand hands ; another employs about
700. Some are very small concerns ; neverthelesss it will
be under rather than over the mark to estimate,the whole
as employing 15,000 hands, when it is borne in mind that
the population of Burnley alone is 25,000. In Bacup all
the factories, about forty in number, are out, with the
• of three. The masters appear very resolved ; and,
as they state in their notice that " the present dPpra.qed
state of trade" has been one of the motives which has in-
duced them to take the course of closing the factories,
there seems no prorpect of a speedy resumption. 'The
spinners of the Blackburn district produce chiefly 32's
yarn, and a few make the heavier count of I+3. Those of
Bacup produce only .18's. The effect upon - consumption
of the raw material;-caused by these extensive stoppages,
will therefore be much greater than that of the Preston
stoppage, where the finer counts are produced. It is es-
timated that Preston is at present consuming from 4,000
to 5,000 bales per .:week less than usual. .The decrease
from the stoppage•in the Burnley district, and in Bacup,
will, however, be from 8,000 to 9,000 bales, which will'
create a great vacuum in the entire consumption .of the
country.
MEETING OF MASTER SHIPWRIGHTS.—On Wednesday,
a meeting of the -Master Shipwrights' Association was
held at the Graving-deck Regulating-office, Strand-street.'
Olr. J. Wilson Greene occupied the chair. The circular:
calling the meeting contained the following programme of
the business .:—" To-consider a letter received from Messrs.
Joseph M`Lean and Co., stating that, not .heing able to
procure hands to complete the work required at the ship
John Howel, in Sandell Graving-dock, at 7s.sper day, and
the captain having engaged a number of men at Bs. per
day, Messrs. M`Lean and Co. wish to know what course
the association will recommend them to pursue. Also, to
consider a letter received from the Shipwrights' Associa-.
tion." After considerable discussion, it 'was resolved,
" That the original resolution allowing no cartage to be
paid, remain intact." Several members expressed their
opinion that if the captain of the John Howel, persisted in
paying the Bs. per day, Messrs. M`Lean ong. :ht to throw up
[ the job and let him finish the ship inmse2.— r
lengthy dismission Mr.:NI-Tenn announced that they would
adopt that course.—The Chairman then reacl a letter which
he had received from the secretary of the Shipwrights'
Association inviting him to attend their meeting to be held
at noon that day. Or. the motion of Mr. Jones, seconded
by Mr. Pope, it was resolved that the Chairman should
I accept the invitation. Several members also , expressed
their intention of being present.—Mr. Garrett saki he had
just come from the Clarence Graving-dock, where .he had
been given to understand that the men intended to strike
that night for Bs. a .day.—The Chairman said they .could
not do anything till the-Tien had taken some steps. The
meeting then separated.
Does Exresesiox.--4t is 'stated that important dock
changes have been brought before the Committee of
Works by the dock surveyor. The first proposition relates
to the new docks at the.-extreme north end of the town,
-between Beacon's-gutter -and the Bootle-landmarks- lthe
:land which was purchased from the Earl of Derby, on
-.condition that certain streets, running from west toseast,
should be made on it, at the expense of the Dock Tenet,
-with a view to the improvement of his lordship's Bootle
property. On this site Mr.• Hartley proposes to erect two
docks of enormous exteut,,which will cover a water area
-of at least 70 acres. One of these two docks it is intended
to.devote specially to the wants of the timber trade, which
will include great storing space on the ground, and also
thelloating of the timber in the dock. The other dock is,
-to- be appropriated to general .purposes—to shipbuilding
.on the margin, from which vessels, when completed, can
be launched into the dock, and- to such other purposes as
the wants of the port may reqssire. The second sugges_
tion of the dock surveyor is to erect two docks, running
east and west, on the site of theosresent George's Dock.
There will be bridges in the centre, parallel with Bruns-
wick-street, so that easy access 'nay 'be had at all times to
and from the Landing-stage. The scheme will involve
the removal of the baths on St. George's-pier. The third
feature in-the new plans is to appropriate the land be- I
longing to -the Dock Estate, adjoining the Harrington
Dock, for-the purpose of timber-yards, for the accommo-
dation of such portion of the trade as refuse to take
advantage of the north end. It is understood that,
though the plans have been prepared, no estimate has yet
been made of :the cost of carrying out -these extensive
works. Should ,the plans be sanctioned thy the general
committee, an application to carry them into effect will
be made in the next session of parliament.
Doss Conmirreis.—At the weekly meeting eat Thurs-
day, Mr. Turner in the chair, the secretary -read several
documents showing that Mr. Stewart had been in com-
munication with the London and North-western -Railway
Company, relative to the giving up of the land at Wap-
ping required to complete the street and other improve-
ments. The chairman directed the surveyor to keep suss
attention fixed on the matter.—A letter was read from Mx.
C. Pothonier, applying for a claim of £44 10s. 6d., for
lifting the Maltese brig Tiger, which received damage by •
grounding in the King's Dock, when the dock was allowed
to run dry. The claim had been before the committee,
who decided that it could not be entertained. After some
discussion, the matter was referred to the solicitor to re-
Port upon it.—The chairman intimated that the Mayor and
Mr. Trafford, the chairman of the quarter sessions at
Knutsford, met in order to revise the rates for vessels
entering the port
real ealu.ivilotfwiltehf
of Liverpool and not using the docks ;
no alteration was considered necessary, and they passed
the usual formal resolution, that the rates now levied
should continue in operationn for three years longer.—A

matter dropped.
