yed to have seen swept down as the pestilential
sources of fever and disease ' • and in the course of another
twelve months we shall doubtless behold the register for
South Lancashire adorned by some such entries as the
—Obadiah Snooks, merchant, Low-hill, cellar
Duse, in Banastre-street ; Solomon Gilt, slop-
seller,Whitechapel, house, Cabbage-court ; Thomas
Pinch, broker, Abercromby-square, cellar in Brick-street;
and see the young apprentices or perhaps sons or daugh-
ters or clerks of the " liberal " owners of these valuable
qualifications traversing their respective and respectable
localities, to receive the rents of thirteen pence a week,
from the respective Murphy's, Paddy's. or Biddy's, who
herd in them, some ten or twelve in a room, retail potatoes
and herrings, and breed fevers. An interesting document
will be that same register, which we shall take the liberty
perhaps of quoting from extensively, for the purpose of
sheaving to their fellow townsmen, and the world, into
what filthy ways the whig-radical gentry and tradesmen of
Liverpool will submit to walk, for the sake of faction.
We observe, by the way, from a circular recently issued
by Charles Edward Rawlins, jun., secretary to the anti.
monopoly association, that the purchases in question are
to be made to pay 6or 7 per cent—a comfortable prospect
for the indigent and almost pauper tenantry by whom such
property is chiefly inhabited !

EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVAL OF SHIPPING. - From
Friday morning last up to last night upwards or two

hundred vessels have reached this port, the majority of
which have been detained outside by the late easterly
winds. The departures have also been rather mor

thirty-one vessels having sailed on Friday and twenty-
three on Saturday. The docks and dock-quays have as-
sumed a very different appearance to that which they
exhibited at the middle of last week and for some time
previously.

THE TRANMERE DOCKS.—In our recent notice of this
undertaking, we intimated, as we were informed was the
case, that the plan published by us was objected to, on
the part of the Admiralty, by Captain Evans, acting con-
servator of the river. We are authorised to state that
such is not the correct statement of the circumstances;
and that no objection has been urged by Captain Evans
against the plan in question, which is the one approved of
by Mr. Chamberlain, the projector and the owner of the
Tranmere portion of the property required for its con-
struction

The mistake arose in consequence of an allu-
sion in the Dock Committee to some previous plans of
the same undertaking, to which the captain's decided
opposition had been expressed.

LIVERPOOL AND BIRKENHEAD.—The Liverpool Stan-
dard well illustrates, in its management, the enterprising
spirit that has long distinguished the town with which it
is immediately connected, and which now animate both
banks of the Mersey. Our excellent contemporary has
lately published two supplements chiefly devoted to plans
(in which typography is more skilfully and largely used
than in anything of the kind that we can remember) of the

'prof boek-s, and of the new town and pr.oposed
