We-are indebted for the above return to Mr. Cleaver,
the indefatigable clerk to the 'West Derby Union. It
will'be seen that the population of Aintree remains the
same that it was ten years since. In Childwall, Croxteth-
park, and Thornton, the numbers are seriously dimin-
ished, whilst the increase in Everton, Toxteth-park, and
West Derby is surprising.

LOCAL MEETINGS.

ITRALTH COMMITTEE.—The usual weekly meeting of
the-Health Committee was held on Thursday, Mr. James
Parker in the chair. It was reported that a weekly meet-
ing of the Baths Committee is to be held every Thursday,
at which the superintendents of the several baths ate to
be in attendance. The chairman said that the new baths
in Cornwallis-street were realising more than their most
sanguine expectations. They had in three days 1967
bathers, and the receipts were -X29 .ss. Ild., double what
they expected. He believed the comforts and luxuries at-
tending the shilling baths were not to be surpassed by any
in the-kingdom. The subject of introducing salt water to
the new baths was to be considered next Thursday.—Dur-
ing the meek ending the 10th instant, the deaths regis-
tered• in the borough were 185, of, which 141 were in the
parish of Liverpool, and 44 in the extra parochial wards.
The number exceeded that of the previous week by 7, but
is 19 less than the average of the corresponding week of
the preceding years. In diseases of the lungs there was
an increase of 10, while in the epidemic class there was a
decrease of 8. Twelve children died from smallpox, only
one of whom bad been vaccinated.

SELECT VESTRY.—At the usual fortnightly meeting on
Tuesday, Rector Campbell presided. The treasurer was
directed to advance £3OO to Mr. Eckersley, superinten-
dent registrar, to pay some of the census expenses, the
amount to be repaid by government. 'The inmates in the
workhouse were stated at 1,984, against 1,672 at the cor-
responding period of last year ; 622 are sick cases, 81
being fever. The total number of admissions to the
vagrant-sheds last week was 913,589 of the applicants
being males,-248 females, and 67 children.—The election
of a chaplain to the workhouse was then ;proceeded with.
There were six candidates for the office : the Revs.
Messrs. Green, Wolseley, Matthias, Blackwell, Sutton,
and Holmes. •On the first division there were for Mr.
Holmes nine, Mr. Green eight, Mr. Wolseley four, Mr.
Sutton one, the other two candidates meeting with no

Messrs. Green and Holmes. when the latter gentleman
was elected by a majority of two, the numbers standing

pursuant to notice, the election of vestrymen to fill the
places occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Cali'erata, and
the appointment of-three other members of the Vestry as
churchwardens or overseers. He announced that he
should propose the re-election of Mr. Dover to the board,
waiting only till his office of churchwarden should lapse.
He had three gentleman to propose that day, and, in
selecting them, he had in view two things, namely, that
there should be no undue preponderance of one interest
or another, in property or in politics ; with the addition
of Mr. Dover they would have two Reformers and two
Conservatives. The names were Mr. Thomas Troughton,
chea.i.t and druggist, Oldhall•street ; Mr. J. Kitchen,
ironmonger, St. Anne-street.; and Mr. Bradley, surgeon,
Falkner-street. After some discussion these gentlemen

Dock was accepted.—The sub-committee of the timber
and ship-building trade submitted .a plan spewing a piece
of land, about 910 feet in length, on the east quay of the
Huskisson Dock, appropriated to the discharge of timber,
leaving two berths at the south end, on either quay, for
the use of large steamers, and that at the end a passage of
fifty feet wide be completed, and preparations be made

house management recommended the payment of £1,200

BritGl, 412 lES 11. LIVERPOOL—Several dwelling-houses
have been lately broken into by pieces being taken out of
the doors. Among other instances, the house of Mr. John
Smith, in Kensington-terrace, Upper Parliament-street,
was robbed in this manner on Friday night week, and so
silently was everything managed that the family were not
disturbed, while the kitchens and dining room were pil-
laged of valuable articles, to the amount of between thirty
and forty pounds. On Thursday night week Broadwood-
house Academy, near 3Taghull, was entered by burglars,
who effected their entrance by cutting holes through the
door of the refectory, and undoing the fastenings. They
carried away all the boys clothes and other miscellaneous
articles,
