QUARANTINE.—The select vestry of Liverpool have
'resolved to discontinue the quarantine regulations, as far
as the Irish are concerned; the improved health of the
town having warranted them in so doing.
The Roscoe Club have taken the premises No. 82,
Bold-street, for their club-house. It is expected that
the advantages of the club will be extended to the mem-
bers by the end of September.
The office of Landing Surveyor in the Customs at Liver-
pool having become vacant by the promotion-of Mr. Peter
Allen, has been filled by the promotion of Mr. Arthur
Rich, Landing Surveyor at Plymouth, who is succeeded
by Mr. Charles G. Stay, Searcher, at Liverpool.
Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, formerly connected with the
Liverpool press, has written to Mr. John O'Connell, to
say that be will willingly subscribe his mite towards the
erection of a national monument to O'Connell, and that
he will shortly become a member of the Repeal Associa-
tion.
The investigation, by the committee of the Select Ves-
otFd,thinoto the circumstances connected with the defalcation
£3OO, received in silver and copper from various
Villeisainee, has not resulted in anything satisfactory. Mr.
, . nis stated before the committee, on Saturday, that
.I.lsesbad no recollection of having received the money, and
his books, which were correct in every other respect, gave
no clue to the,transaction.

ACCIDENT IN CASTLE-STREET.—On Tuesday, at two.
o'clock, the Wavertree omnibus and the Walton omnibus
left the Exchange, and when they had come to the corner
of Harrington-street, and were both together, one of the
leaders, a very fine horse, belonging to the Wavcrtree
omnibus, slipped and fell, and lay with his hind legs
stretched towards the middle of the street. The wheel of
the Walton omnibus passed over one of his legs before the
driver bad 'time to pull up, and completely smashed the
bone. There being no hopes of its recovery, the poor
animal was bled to death. We learn that instructions
have been given to re-pave Castle-street with small square
sets, and to flatten the surface of the street forthwith : so
that we may shortly expect to bear of there being a dimi-
nution in the almost daily number of accidents which have
been occurring in it.
THE TIMBER TRADE.—The timber trade of the port is
still unusually inactive. The transactions of the week are
few, and principally from the yards. The quay business
has been remarkably dull. Three cargoes have been sold
from the yards, one at 19;d per foot; one at 19d • and an
inferior one at a less price. In Quebec pine Attie has
been doing, and prices may be quoted at our rates of last
week. Quebec and other hardwoods are likewise steady
at our former quotations. St. John, &c., deals and boards
continue to arrive freely, and are in good demand at from
lid to 2;d per foot of 2 inches, according to specification
and shippers' charter. Pitch pine was sold by auction at
a2cscolrddipoegr
tfooot ; Baltic timber, in cargo, 22d to 2s ld,
£lB 1 quality ,• and St. red deals at
sltls per foot standard for good quality ; Swedish, &c.,
red. Xl3 to £l5 for good. Quebec and other shares are
very dull of and sale, and the stock sufficient. Mahogany
other furniture woods, no sales to report.

field g excursion train will find at this season an unusual
Pfor amusement and knowledge. in addition to the
9nal. Gallery and British Museum there is now ex-
hibiting the magnificent works of ah in Westminster
Hall, the whole of which are free. The theatres, with the
exec whole of her Majesty's and Drury-lane, are all open.
At Saddlers Wells, after an entire new decoration, the
season was commenced on Monday last, with Shakspear's
Play of Cymbeline. To the Collosseum there is a reduc-
tion of entre', and-the six exhibitions are to be viewed for
the one charge. The decreased rate of omnibus fares,
and the generally increased facilities, will enable those
limited in time to visit even the suburban resorts of Chel-
sea, the deservedly admired Cremorne Gardens, Green-
wich, Richmond, Hampton Court, &c. ; but on no ac-
-count must those who seek pleasure omit to spend one
'evening at the Royal Gardens at Vauxhall, which are now
40 magnificently arranged, and lriswhiSli there is such a
TPleasing mingling of nature and art, that they not only
om description but they dazzle the imagination. The
pal er, the Thames Tunnel, Westminster Abbey, the
il s and parks, are also worthy of important notice.
