BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS.

An adjourned meeting of this body was held last even.
ing, in the Board Room, Hamilton-square. Present, J.
H. Greene, Esq., chairman; Messrs. W. Laird, Cole,
Horner, Brownrigg, Atherton,•Gilbertson, A. A. Dobbs,
J. R. Pim, Pike.
Mr. W. Cole laid before the Board the following report,
accompanied with a very voluminous list of clauses, which
it was proposed to have inserted in the amended Improve-
ment Bill now before parliament.
The I.teport was then read by Mr. ATKINSON, as fol-
lows :
" At an adjourned meeting of the Health Committee, held
this day, present, Mr. Cole, chairman, Messrs, W. Laird, Ap-
pleton, Gilbertson, and Adamson, the following Report was
unanimously adopted:—
REPORT.
"Your committee beg to state that they have now completed
the revision'of, the Improvement Acts, and have prepared seve-
ral additions and amendments, which they are unanimously of
opinion would be highly desirable, both for the improvement
and health of the township, and they, beg to propose that such
amendments be introduced, in committee, in the bill now be-
fore parliament. (Signed) WM. COLE, Chairman.
"9th Feb., 1846."
Mr. COLA, after observing that the new clauses were so
lengthy that it would take up too much of the time of the
Com-nissioners to gu over them seriatim. proposed
" That the Report be received, and the alterations and
amendments proposed by the Health Committee, and now
laid before the Board, be forwarded to the Law-clerk with
instructions that the same be embodied in the Improvement
Bill now before Parliament, and as soon as the Improvement
Bill is printed a copy of the same be sent to each Com-
missioner."
Some discussion then ensued respecting the course pro-
posed to be pursued, but it was understood that the
reception of the report would not bind any member to
suppoi t it hE,reifter. the Chairman observing that the
matter would be much better understood when each
member had a printed copy before him, when he could
read it acid consider the various clauses at his leisure.

Mr. Pim wished something to be introduced into the
motion so as not to render it imperative on the law-clerk
to introduce all the clauses, as he was afraid their bulk
would frighten Lord Shaftesbury.
Mr. COLE said, it would not be the bulk his Lordship
would look at, but the quality.
Mr. GILBERTSON hoped if the law-clerk could not ob-
tain the isnertion of all the clauses, he would obtain the
introduction of the most important.
Mr. COLE said it was pretty well understood by the
law-clerk what were the wishes of the committee.
Mr. WM. LAIRD seconded the motion of Mr. Cole.

Mr. BROWNRIGG said he had no objection to the mo-
tion as it stood, but if it had gone so far as to adopt the
report he could not have toted for it, as be bad not
read it.

Mr. W LAIRD thought the course proposed to be
adopted would save much trouble to the Commissioners,
for they would be much more likely to come to a proper
conclusion on the subject by a careful perusal of the b 11
when in print. _ .

The motion was then put and adopted unanimously.
Mr. COLE said he understood Mr. W. Laird had some-
thing to say respecting the Building Act.
Mr. W. LAIRD said the committee were engaged on a
report respecting the constru2tion of fire-proof ware-
houses, but they had not yet been able to gti thoroughly
into the matter, he should, therefore, wish that the meet-
ing would adjourn for a week, when he hoped the com-
mittee would be able to report on the subject.
Mr. BROWNRIGG asked whether they had conferred
with the law-clerk on the subject, to know how far 1117
were likely to succeed in obtaining the insertion of such
clauses.

Mr. W. LAIRD said the law•clerk bad been consulted
on the subject, and he was of opinion that the clauses
might be introduced, provided there were no m'ney
clauses in them, of which the committee would beware.
He then proposed—
- - •

"That this meeting do adjourn to Monday, the 16th instant,
to receive a further report, from the Health Committee, on the
building of warehouses, and to receive a report from the Light-
ing and Watching Committee upon the proposed amendments
in the Lighting and Watching Act."
Mr. COLE said the fact w4s, the clauses alluded to were
exact'y in the same position as those before the Board at
present.
Mr. BROWNRIGG hoped that for the future they would
not run the matter so very fine.
MI HORNER asked when it was necessary that the
bill ~hould he before the house ?
Mr. BROWNRIGG said the netition had already been
presented, and the bill was at present before the House,
but it was competent for any commissioner to get s 'me
one to move for the insertion of either those or any other
clauses, which, if approved of, would be included in the
bill. . . .

—The motion was then put and adopted, and the Board
adjourned.

The lion. William Lewis Denman, son of Lord Den-
man, has entered holy orders, and was ordained by the
bishop of Durham on Sunday week.
DISSOLUTION OP TOE LIVERPOOL ROYAL STOCK
EXCHANGE.—AS a sign of the times the dissolution of
this exchange might be adduced as important. It will be
seen, however, by our advertising columns, that a n,-ve as-
sociation opened yesterday, into which we believe the hulk
of its members, together with many who have seceded
from the association in Rank-buildings, have entered.
COMMITMENTS FOR TRIAL AT THE SESSIONS, YES-
TERDAY.— A man named William Reynolds was yester-
day committed before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of h ty-
ing, stolen from the clothing shop of Mrs. Jones, in Nor-
folk-street, on Saturday night, a hammock and bed,
worth 6s. 6d. Toe prisoner made no defecce. Hugh
Powell was also committed on a charge of having received
6 sovereiens from a female who keeps a public-house to
get changed, and with which, or the change he did not re-
turn. It appeared he had purchased for himself new
shoes, a new shirt, &c. He stated that he had got intex-
icated, and did not know what had become of the money.
ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE OF LANCA"TER.—The fine
ship Duke of Lancaster, belonging to Messrs. Stringer
and Mann, John Buller, commander, arrived in this river
on Sunday morning, after a passage of 94 days, from Can-
ton. She sailed rom Liverpool on the 28th May last,
discharged her cargo in China, took on board a full cargo
there, consisting of upwards of 860 tons of tea, and com-
pleted the voyage in eight men. hs and ten days, being the
shortest time on record. This, the first voyage of the
Duke ot Lancaster, argues well for what may be expected
as regards future passages under the command of Captain
Bailey, who. we understand, is note rious for the quick
passages made in the ship Thomas Lowry.
CHARITABLE SOCIETY.—We regret extremely to hear
that the funds of this invaluable society are in a languish-
ing condition. Last year there were 1634 cases of dis-
tress relieved from the funds of the society, affording
substantial and timely aid to 6195 persons The visits
paid by the gentlemen connected wi h the society, who
afford their services gratuitously, were 2254, and the
amount expended was 4368 6s. We should be glad if
we could interest the liberal sympathy of the public in
behalf of this society. which distributes its funds at the
dwellings of the destitute, but on no occasion without a
previous visit to the family, and a searching investigation
into the claims and characters of the applicants for r-lief
The subscribers' have thus the best guarantee that their
donations are judiciously distributed.
FACTORIES WALLASEY POOL.—A Radical con-
temporary of Saturday; upon whose absurd schemes of
establishing factories upon the unoccupied land on the
margin of Wallasey Pool, we recently remarked, returned
to the charge in his last publication, and treated with some
derision our assertion, that a want of water for. steam en-
gines would be felt in such a locality. Perhaps the party
in question does not know that fresh water is indispensable
for the economical working of factory engines. Where
he will find that, in abundance sufficient, in the neigh-
bourhood of Wallasey Pool, we are at a loss to conceive.
On the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal the ex-
periment of erecting factories might answer ; but for
'Wallasey Pool the project is hopeless. He might as well
say the locality is suitable for a sugar plantation.
CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. —YeAerd4V, at the
Police Court, a young man named Thomas Leach, a col-
le.ster in the employ of Mr. John Jones, estate agent,
Grafton-street, Toxteth-park, was charged by the latter
with having embezzled, chiefly on the 2Gth ultimo, cer-
tain small sums which he had received from weekly te-
nants of premises, and for which he had not accounted—
making three distinct cases. Several witnesses were
called, and from the general evidence it appeared, so far
as is yet known, that the prisoner had received XI lls.,
and had paid over only £1 Is. 61. About 41000 passed
through his hands annually, while he was in the employ.
It also appeared that to cover the fraud he had made a
falas entry in figures in the books. His employer stated
that the prisoner (who had been five Years in his service)
had received notice to leaie, and had left on Wednesday
Ist. the defalcations so far had been discovered since
that time ; but mr. Jones added that he strongly sus-
pected he was guilty of other similar delinquencies, as he
was short of £3lO, which lie ought to have received ac-
cording to his books. Mr. Owen, who defended the
prisoner. endeavoured to show- that the whole affair ori-
ginated in pique, he (the prisoner) having gone to another
rival employer. Mr. Ruslyon, decided that be should go
for trial, but remanded him so 'that some further evidence,
which it was said could be procured, wes brought up.
THE IRON TRADE.—The iron trade of South Stafford-
shire continues in the same prosperous state which we
noticed the week before last,land ;we understand that
efforts are being mane in various parts of the district, and
more particularly in that section of the coal-field lying
near Oldbury, to obtain further supple'; of coal and iron-
stone. For this purpose, several pits, which had long
since been considered as worked out, have been re-opened ;
and with the aid of increased skill, and improved machi-
nery, the abandoned mines will, it is expected, yield a
fresh supply of their mineral treasures. From the uncer-
tainty which exists as to the measures of Government,
with respect to the numerous projected lines of railway,
the ironmasters evince great unwillingness to enter into
large contracts; otherwise, from the abundance of orders,
we should have to quote prices considerably above the
rates fixed on at the recent quarterly meetings of the trade.
As it is, the existing prices can scarcely be adhered to,
and we are enabled to state, on the best authority, that
there are parties now in South Staffordshire endeavouring
to effect purchases for the continent—Germany in parti-
cular—for several lines of railway, amounting in some
ca-es, to 30,000, and in others to 40,000 tons. It is, we,
believe, satisfactorily ascertained by the largest manufac-
turing firms in the kingdom, that the modifications and
changes in the tarif with regard to the importation of pro-
Oluce from America, will cause such a demand for the con-
sumption of iron in the United States, as to warrant the
assumption that double an& treble the quantities hitherto
exported from this country will take place immediately on
the new measure coming into operation. The effect of the
increased and increasing demand for iron is not confined
to our own district, for our Liverpool letters inform us
that Scotch pigs fetched 80s. per ton, and that other de-
scriptions of manufactured iron rate proportionably high.

FALL OF THE WAREHOUSE TN MOOR-STREET.
FINDING OF THE BODY OF LARCEY.

Since our last publication, a great number of porters
and others have been employed by night as well as by day,
in getting and carting off the valuable grain, flour, 84c.,
from the warehouse which fell, with its accumulated load,
oh Saturday week—burying in the ruins one of the
labourers. The weather has, on the whole, been rather
favourable, for the season of the year, and great progress
has been made ; but many days will yet be required to
complete the removal of the property and materials. The
body of Peter Larcey was found by the labourer: on
Saturday morning, in room No. 1, and near the end of it,
facing the Old ltopery. Yesterday an inquest was held
on the remains, before Mr. Curry, and a special jury ; one
princioal object being to arrive at the eau-e of the unex-
pected fall of the building, which involved such fatal con-
sequences. The first witness, Thos. Carroll, tt porter, sta-
ted, that while working at the ruins on Saturday, he saw the
legs of a man hanging doWn from room No. 2, into room
No. 1, and assisted in getting the body out. The right
side of deceased's head was partly carried away. Deceased
was at the time of the accident working in No. 2, with
several other men, (as before stated). The warehouse
was eight stories high, including the cellars. Shortly
after it fell deceased was missed. Rooms 3 and 4 were
filled with fl mr, in barrels, piled five high, and fifteen
a'ross the roam, with a gangway between them. Witness
did not consider such a weight too much for the rooms of
a well standing warehouse. Nos. 5 and 6 were filled with
barley belonging, to Mr. Tipping, thrown down in bulk.
No. 7 was filled with wheat and pease, belonging to Messrs.
William Steele and Co., both in bulk. No. 2 had wheat.
He had known the warehouse for 13 or 14 years.
Patrick Scantlin, a porter, knew deceased, and was at
work with him in No. 2. Between 11 and 12 o'clock on
Saturday week, witness observed two of the beams over
his head, and between him and the door, giving way.
They broke in the centre, and the floor and everything
above it came tumbling in. He made to the door to heave
himself out. He got out through the door by a rope, and
then found all the warehouse had come down, except the
end at the Old Ropery, and part of the roof. It appeared
to him to be sound and safe, if not overlo tded.* Tne
wheat taken in was Mr. Slattery's. Tne cross-beams
were supported by props.
Edward Newman, a porter, was in the jigger-loft at the
time. There was a'noise like a clap of thunder. Witness
was at the Old Ropes,/ end of the warehouse. He stopped
a moment or two at the jigger. The dust then over-
powered him, and he got down the stairs as far as No. 2.
The stair was choked up with barrels of flour. He made
his escape.
John Evans, warehouseman to Mr. Dean, who rented
the whole warehouse from Mr. Tipping, said Mr. Dean
had taken it for three years certain, from the Ist January
last, for general purposes, and let off rooms to different
persons ; but no lease had been signed, nor was there yet
any written agreement.
John Sold/in, a porter, was in No. 2, with deceased.
There might be in it 1000 sacks of wheat, more or le:s,
which covered the better half of the floor, but was in no
place near the top. It was trimmed up in the usual way.
There was at first a noise like thunder, and then the
building fell.
Mr. Lawter, warehouseman to Mr. Slattery, said the
room (No. 2) was taken from Mr. W. Dean's warehouse-
man, by witness himself, at 355. a week, and Mr Dean
was told it was for wheat, but nothing was said about the
quantity. It was a bonded warehouse, but not especially
so. The room ought to have contained 2-100 sacks, and
he thought there were only about 1371 sacks in it at the
time. Its area was 240 yards superficial. It was only
about three-fourths filled. Wheat might be placed four-
teen bricks high from the floor, in the lower rooms. In
some parts it was but twelve bricks in this instance, in
others more or lesa.

A witness stated that the warehouse was propped from
the cellars, which,were arched, to the top.
Mr. S. Holme, (builder,) being sworn, said he had
been sent for by the mayor, on the morning of the 31st
January, and proceeded to the warehouse to view it with
him. lie found about two-thirds of it had fallen into
Moor-street. The direction in which it appeared to have
fallen was south-west. About half the western wall was
down, and the whole of the front next Moor-street had
also fallen: The beams had drawn out of the eastern
wall, hut no portion of that wall was disturbed. A part
of it was dangerous, and he had it pulled down. He also
got his men to prop the front wall at the old ropery, as it
was bulged out. He had since gone will Mr. John
Stewart. and Mr. Weig,htman, and made an inspection of
the warehouse and a sketch ; but they found at present
nothing by which they could judge of the cause of the
accident. His present impression, judging from am e.ir-
ances, was that the cause of the accident would never be
discovered. It might have arisen from a defect in the
bottom props.
The coroner here suggested to the jury that the case
should he adj9urned for further evidence. He alluded to
the late tank accident, on the first inquest relative to
which (and involving six lives) only one scientific gentle-
man had given evidence; yet on a second inquest on
another of the sufferers, a very different verdiel was come
ro. He thought, therefore, they should have further
evidence to satisfy the public mind. He also considered
it proper that Mr. Tipping (who had not appeared) should
be examined.

The jury concurred, and after Mr. Stewart. in reply to
the coroner, had stated that he could not account for the
accident in the present state of the ruins, the inquest was
adjourned till that day fortnight—the 23rd instant—by
which time the hoitom of the warehouse may be examined
by Mr. Holme and others. We should add that a person
presen►, who was questioned by Mr. Holme, said that the
iron doors were put into the warehouse about two years
ago in a peculiar way ; and Mr. U. said that the fixing of
them as stated would not in the slightest degree weaken
the

The deceased was a widower, aged about 50, and has
left five children.

COLLISIONS ON THE RIVER YFSTERDAY.— Yes'er-
day, as the brig Limena, the property of Messrs. Clay-
pole and Son, bound for Puerto Rico, was under sail on
her outward voyage, sha ran foul of the Pearl barque, the
property of Watson Brothers, which was being towed out
on a voyage for Tohasco. The effect of the collision was,
that the Pearl had her main and mizen masts carried
away, and the Limena was also injured. Both vessels
put back. Last evening, the Hannibal ran foul of an
outward bound Spanish vessel, and sprung her bow sprit.
She will have to dock. The John Books, an inward
bound vessel, lying off the King's Dock, had her bow-
sprit carried away, by a vessel being towed across her
bow. She will have to go to dock.
THE EGYPTIAN TRANSIT COMFANY.—The Times of
yesterday, after announcing that at the time of the last
advice& leaving Alexandria, no tidings of the Bombay mail
had arrived there. The Pacha has superseded the Transit
Company managed by Mr. Waghorn, and put his grand-
son, Governor of Cairo, at the head of it, with subordi-
nate Turks and Egyptians to assist him. Mr. Waghorn
built all the stations on the desert, and they are now
taken possession of by the Pacha—this will annihilate the
whole of the English interests in the overland route, if
Lord Aberdeen' does not immediately instruct Colonel
Barnett what to do forthwith. All this is the work of
French intrigue, and It has been their study to effect this
object for the last five years; they have at last taken ad-
vantage of the Pacha's partial imbecility, for he has not
been himself, in the opinion of diplomatists, since his
abdication for a whole week in August, 1844 Since then
gigantic schemes have arisen under French auspices, and
Alexandria, Damietta, and the sea coast have assumed a
warlike aspect under French engineers, who have per.
suaded the Pacha the English are determined to take his
country. Since this order of the Pacha's has gone forth,
the chief of one of the Tor tribes has been murdered on
the desert, and the greatest consternation existed at all
the desert stations in consequence, pat ticularly at No. 2,
near which the murder took place. It is said that Mr.
Waghorn anticipated this three months ago, and forth-
with despatched his partner to the Committee of the
Bombay Steam Fund, again to obtain the station-houses,
which are still vieir property, in order to counteract this
unfortunate interruption to our communications with

CHANGE OF THE WEATHER.—SAILING OF VESSELS
YESTERDAY.—For several weeks past we have had at
this port and the neighbouring coasts successions of gales
or strong winds from the westward, which (as will 'be
found by our shippii.g intelligence) have vroved fatal to
many fine vessels making for onr port. The same cans,.
has detain"d many others, ready for sea, in our docks,
which had consequently become unusually crowded, to
the exclusion from berths of many large craft which had
arrived in our river. On Sunday night (on the eve of
lull 'mon), a change took place, the wind veering to the
north, and finally, yesterday, to about the N.N.E., grid
a sharp black frost set in, which in a short time covered
the pools in the town and the ponds in the neighbourhood
with ice. This wind being favourable for vessels outward
bound. especially after they have passed the Bell-buby,
all was yesterday morning before high watFr (which was
about eleven o'clock,) in commotion at our dock basins
and piers, in hauling out and setting .sail. Steam-tugs
were in such requisition that twice the :dispoSable number
would have found employment, and many large vessls,
bound to various ports abroad, were nects-itated to beat
down the streani. About forty vessels sail-d for foreign
pors, and nineteen coastwise. These, with many :others
inward-bound; or moving about, together with many fine
vessels at anchor, including the magnificent Ship Duke of
Lar, caster, formed a beautiful and animated: marine lie-
Lure. Could'ateam-tugs have been obtained-many more
Would have sailed, and if the wind continues in the same
quarter to day. we shall.have again to_report a great num-
ber of departures. The.breeze was rather fresh, and ,the
cold—though the sun shone out—most piercing. After.
so open a winter, the old saying is verified, that " as the
day le; gthens, the cold strengthens."
ENGLISH ORNAMENTAL GLASS. —The progress of
British ihdttstry and ingenuity is not more fully illustrated
than in: the manufacture of ornamental glass. It has
hitherto been -considered, that however strong might be
the claims of the English artizan to superiotity in manu
factoring domestic articles of glass, to Bohemia was con-
ceded the credit of surpassing all other nations in produding
ornamental manufactures. We have now, however, the
pleasure of stating, that, by the completion of a series of
successful experiments, our little isle is not only able to
compete with, but actually to surpass, the continent in
manufacturing what may be termed " Bohemian Glass,"
which, though beautifully rich, will not bear comparison
with some specimens we have seen of home manufacthre.
The splendid colours produced by the mixture of metal do
not in the foreign
.appear so well amalgamated, andione
other• important superiority in the competing article is, that
the psi -ting and gilding with which the glass is ornamented
is perfectly durable, being burnt, in—the, only deficiency
hitherto urged against the Bohemian manufacture. Mr.
Smith, of Bold:-street, "who represents the inventor, has
sent two specimens to our office, which may be seen
during the day. It is made in a thousand different forms,
and is peculiarly adapted for chimney-piece ornaments.
