LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL.

TIIE monthly meeting of the Town Council was held on
Wednesday, the Mayor, S. Holme, Esq., presiding. There
was a full attendance of members.

FINANCE COMIIITTEIL—The proceedings of this com-
mittee comprised a list of recommendations, embracing the
following :—Recommendation of promotions and altera-
tions in duties of officers and clerks in the Town-dues-
office, consequent upon the dismissal of Mr. lirisraughten,
namely, Mr. Craven, heretofore inward book-keeper, at
£lOO per annum, to be inward computer, at £125, the
salary hitherto allowed; Mr. Moore, heretofore inward
auditor, at £5O per annum, to be inward book-keeper, at
£lOO per annum, the salary hitherto allowed ; Mr. Burgess,
. heretofore outward computer, at £125 per annum, to be
outward cashier, in the room of Mr. M'lsTaughten, at the
same salary of £2OO per annum ; Mr. Fair, heretofore out-
ward book-keeper, at £lOO per annum, to be outward
computer, at £125, the salary hitherto allowed ; Mr. John
Surr, audit clerk, at a salary of £lOO, to be inward auditor,
in the room of Mr. Moore, receiving, in addition, the salary
of £5O, heretofore paid to Mr. Moore ' • recommendation
that the salaries of Mr. Bezar and Mr. Marrow, the general
auditors, be respectively increased from £5O to £75 per
annum. Recommendations to increase the salary of Mr.
Archibald Tweedie, chief clerk to the treasurer. from £2OO
to £3OO per annum ; recommendation, subject to the
approval of the Lords of the Treasury, to grant the rever-
sion of a piece of land, in Pilgrim-street and Hope-
place, for the site of a school in connexion with the Liver-
pool Hebrew Congregational Institution ; recommendation
to appoint Thomas Grisenthwaite mace-bearer, in the place
of James Halsall, deceased, at the same salary of £lO per
annum ; letter from the Hon. Charles Gore, of the Office
of Woods, &c., agreeing to the proposal of this committee
that the rights of the Crown in the foreshore, fronting two
separate properties of the Corporation in Birkenhead, shall
be purchased for the sum of £4,000, and recommendation
that the committee be authorized to complete the purchase
:for that sum.
The Surveyor had reported against a -recommendation
which had been before the committee, to illuminate the
clock in front of the Town-hall, chiefly in consequence of
the danger to the building from introducing the requisite
amount of gas.
The first six recommendations of the committee, as to
the promotions, and alterations in the duties, of the
officers, were adopted without discussion ; but the pro-
position to increase the salary of Mr. Tweedie (seconded
by Mr_ BANNER), was opposed by Mr. BIGRAM, on the
ground that the annual statement of accounts, which
should be published by next month, would show that the
surplus of £50,000, which was apparent on the face of last
year's accounts, had been reduced to £12,000 or £lO,OOO.
He moved au amendment which was lost by 36 to 7. The
proposition for the increase was then adopted
Mr. Alderman BENNETT opposed the recommendation
as to the land in Pilgrim-street, chiefly on the ground
that it was an erroneons principle to grant land on which
institutions would be erected, in which the rising genera-
tion of Jews would be taught to believe that our Saviour '
was an impostOr.—The proposition, however, was con-
firmed without a division, as was the recommendation to
appoint Grisenthwaite mace-bearer.
The recommendation as to the purchase of the Birken-
head foreshore was the next subject before the Council ;
and after a few observations the proposition was adopted,
and the proceedings were confirmed.

were as follows :
by the Council at that meeting.
" In accordance with the resolution of the committee at
their last meeting, the surveyor submitted a plan, show-
ing a proposed line of new street, 24
4yards wide, and on
the natural level, commencing with the south portion of
St. George's-hall, and terminating in Dale-street, at the
east side of Colonial-buildings, opposite Moorfields.—The
surveyor also submitted a model, showing the alterations
to be effected by the high level approach from Shaw's-
brow to Dale-street. And in accordance with the
co
in-
structions of the Council the committee proceeded to
on-
sider the comparative advantage and disadvantage f a
communication between St. George's-hall and 'Dale-street
being made upon the high level, or by a communication on
the ordinary level."

The report further contained various observations as to
the high level, and as to the proposed new street on the

on
the two plans, the committee report their opinion that the
rapid increase of the traffic of the town will very shortly
render both improvements requisite; and having maturely
considered the subject, they therefore recommend the
Council to apply to Parliament for power to carry out both
plans, and also the improvements recommended in the
resolution of the 12th instant.—Having also considered
the reference from the Council as to improvements in Bur-
lington-street, Bostock-street, Eldon-place, Bevington-
bush, and Limekiln-lane, your committee recommend the
Council to carry out all these improvements, except Bos-
tock-street."
Mr. BENNETT, chairman of the Improvement Commis-
sioners, made some observations in support of the high
level road, and the formation of a road from Moorfields to
the south end of St. George's-hall; the great advantage

tion to the effect that so much of the proceedings of the
Improvement Committee as recommended a high level be
not confirmed, but that the purchases of property neces-
sary to the improvement of Shaw's-brow, to the east end
of Dale-street, on an ordinary level, be authorised. A
long discussion ensued. At length the question was put
to the vote, Mr. Bighorn's amendment being ea •ed by

that it be an instruction to
the committee also to apply for power to widen Church-
street between Paradise street and Parker-street, if the
funds of the Corporation were adequate.
After some discussion the report was ultimately adopted,
as was aftenVards Mr. J. H. Turner's proposition.
Mr. JEFrEET then moved that Park-lane should be
widened. and, after a brief discussion, the proposition was
lost by 2-1 to 20.
Instructions were then given to the Town-clerk to take
the necessary proceedings in reference to the proposed Im-
provement Bill.
Sr. GEORG-E'S-HALL.—In moving the confirmation of
the report, Mr. J. B. Lloyd produced a letter which had
been received from Mr. Cockerell, in reply to the criti-
cisms of Mr. Henry Booth. The letter having been read,
the proceedings were confirmed ; a copy of the letter being
ordered to be sent to Mr. Booth.—Mr. Stewart spoke in
terms of reprehension of the spirit in which Mr. Cockerell
had replied to the well-intended suggestions of Mr. Booth.
MARKErs.—The committee recommended the appoint-
ment of Andrew Tyrrell, under the powers for that pur-
pose contained in the local act, 5 and 6 Viet. c. 106, one
of the inspectors of slaughter-houses and meat for this
borough ; by-hew to prevent obstructions in the streets by
hawkers of fruit, &c. ; a penalty of 40s. being recommended
to be enforced. Confirmed. The proceedings stated that
since May 5572 lbs. of unwholesome meat, and 36 tons of
unwholesome fish, had been seized in St. John's Market
and destroyed.

PR ESE NT AT lON 0F A SILVER
CRADLE TO 31RS, T. LITTLEDALE.

Osi the evening of Thur;day last, His Worship the
Mayor (Mr. Samuel Holme), Mr. John Holmes, Mr.
John Torr, Mr. C. Turner, Mr. Thomas Bold, Mr. J. A.
Tobin, the town clerk, Mr. T. B. Horsfall, M.P., Mr. J.
R. M:Guffie, Mr. J. B. Lloyd, Mr. James Tyrer, Mr.
James Parker, Mr. James Sykes, Mr. John Smith, Mr.
William Rovbnrgh, Mr. S. Mellor. Mr. John Stewart,.
Mr. Elias Arnaud, Mr. Edmund Mo/yneux. Mr. James
Thompson, Mr. Joseph Mayer, Mr. T. E. Moss, and Mr. J.
T. Bourne, met at Highfield, the -residence of Thomas
Littledale, Esq., for the purpose of presenting a splendid
silver cradle to Mrs. Littledale, in commemoration of the
birth of Clement St. George Royds Littledale, on the
Bth of December, 1851, during his father's mayoralty,
and on the day on which his worship opened St. George's
Hall for public business. The plate for presentation was
procured by subscription, and was made in compliance
with an ancient custom which prescribes the gift of such
a testimonial to the lady of the mayor, in the event of her
accouchement during the year of his holding office.
The MAYOR, after reading the inscription, said :
Mrs. Littledale, the pleasing duty devolves upon me
of presenting to you the handsome testimonial
which is now before me. It is a source of unal-
loyed pleasure, for several reasons. First, it is an old
and cherished custom, handed down to us by our ancestors,
on the sacred principle, sanctioned by holy writ, that we
are to rejoice with those who rejoice. The birth of a child
ought always to be a source of rejoicing; and when those
who have been called by their fellow-townsmen to fill the
high office of chief magistrate of Liverpool have been
blessed by an increase of their domestic endearments,
the custom has been that those fellow-townsmen should
join in the gratification, and express, by some tangible
memorial, that the event has not been unheeded by them.
Secondly, that gratification is enhanced in the present
instance by the reflection that your husband enjoys the
confidence and esteem of all classes of the community.
During the period when he occupied the important position
of Chairman of the Liverpool Dock Committee, and also
when he was elevated to the high office of Mayor of this
great - •
community, his generosity, his good humour, his
hospitality, independence, and impartiality, won for him
the regard of all ; and in the name of that municipal body
which I have the honour to represent., as well as of many
other gentlemen who expressed their wish to contribute, I
now ask you to accept the offering which it affords us all
so much pleasure to present. It is a characteristic feature
of British society not only to admire feats of heroic daring
performed in the cause of suffering humanity, either at..
sea or on land, but also to recognise and to reward domestic
excellence ; and whether a man is called upon to occupy
the position of a statesman, a warrior, a magistrate, a
tradesman, or a peasant, domestic excellence will always
be acknowledged and appreciated, because the man who
adorns private life will always enjoy the confidence and
esteem of the public. Wishing that you and Mr. Littledale
may be long spared to train up your children in the paths
of virtue, I now present you with this cradle, that those
children, when they look upon it in after years, may
rejoice at the estimation in which their parents were
, held. and may be stimulated thereby to imitate such a
bright example.
Mrs. LITTLEDALE, in the most graceful manner, replied
es follows :—Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, on the present
occasion I feel called upon personally to return you my
most sincere thanks for the beautiful piece of plate which
has this day been presented to me. As a silver Cradle
(being in accordance with an ancient legend of this good
old town), it must be an object of interest to many—as a
work of art, it merits the admiration of all. But far more
must it ever be endeared to me, not only as commemorat-
ing the birth of my little son, but as a record of the high
esteem in which my husband is held by his fellow-towns-
Men, and as a proof of your approbation of his conduct
during the twelve months he had the honour of being
your chief magistrate. I can only again offer you my
sincere thanks ; and, if they have been inadequately ex-
pressed, I beg you will believe that it is in words, and not
feeling, that lam deficient on the occasion. (Applause.)
The plate, which is of very pleasing execution and beauti-
ful design, consists of an emblematical group of figures,
placed on the plinth of an equilateral triangular pedestal;
the three sides of which are occupied by sunk panels, the
front one containing the dedicatory inscription, which is
as follows :—" To Julia, wife of Thomas Littledale, Esq.,
Mayor of Liverpool. This work of art, emblematical of
the cradle and growth of commerce, is presented by a
number of the inhabitants of the borough, to commemo-
rate, in fulfilment of an ancient legend, the birth of
' Clement St. George Royds, on the Bth of December, 1851,
during his father's mayoralty, and on the day on which his
worship opened St. George s-hall for judicial business.
With the gift is also offered to the happy wife and mother
this record of the universal esteem in which her husband
is held for his character as a man and a British merchant;
his example for promoting manly pursuits as commodore
of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club ; his triumphant humanity
and bravery in rescuing numbers of valuable lives from
the burning wreck of the Ocean Monarch, at sea, on the
24th August, 1848; and his courteous dignity, hospitality,
and benevolence as chief magistrate of this great commu-
nity—a, year which will ever be historically distinguished
by his inauguration of the great assize courts and the
free public library?'
