CHILDREN BURNT.-- On Wednesday inquests were
held on the bodies of two children, whose death had been
caused by their clothes catching fire. The first case was
that of a child named William Veal, aged nine years,
whose clothes caught fire on the 29th of September, when
he was severely burnt. After lingering for some weeks
in great agony, he died last Saturday.—The other was
that of Mary Ann Cavanagh. aged four years, who resided
with her parents in Lightbody-street. 'On Sunday, while
drying her pinafore, her clothes caught fire, and she was
severely burnt on the back. She was taken to thellor-
thern Hospital, hut died the following day in convulsions.
DARING ROBBERIES IN EVERTON.—'OR Sunday even-
ing, between seven and eight o'clock, three men, with
their faces blacked, entered the house of Mr. Stanriek,
Ellesmere-terrace. Everton. TEe servant girl was the
only occupant. They dragged her into the kitchen, one
man guarding her, while the others went up stairs and
rifled the drawers. The thieves soon afterwards made
their escape, carrying off as a booty a £9OO dock-bond, a
will, and plate to the value of about '£l4 On the same

evening also, the house of Mr. Lancaster, in Sussex-
street, was entered by means of false keys. Mrs. Lan-
caster, who was in the house at the time, gave the alarm,
when the thief ran away.
AectnENTs.—On Tuesday last an emigrant, named
Betsey Norris, who, along with her husband and family,
were on board the ship Compromise, about to sail for
America, fell into -the hold of that vessel, and received
several severe contusions on the bedy. The injuries are
of such a nature as to prevent the poor woman and her
family from sailing for several weeks.—On Friday Richard
Richardson, sixty years of age, in the employ of the Cor.
poration, attempted, for the purpose of shortening his
route, to climb over some boarding which had been placed
in front of some repairs which are being effected at the
Clarence pier, when the frame-work fell upon upon him,
and fractured one of his lees immediately above the knee.

ST. HELENS.—COAL PIT FATALITIES.—An inquest
was held on Tuesday, at the Sefton Arms, before Mr.
Driffield, on John Gregson, aged twelve years, who worked
in the Royal Colliery, at Eccleston, belonging to Messrs.
Bromilow, where, on Saturday last, an explosion of fire-
damp took place. It was supposed that the fire caught

from the deceased's lamp, which was very dirty. The jury
recommended that an hispector be appointed to see that
the colliers' lamps are cleaned before they descend the pit.
Verdict, " Accidental."—An inquest was.held on Saturday,
at Black Brook, on Thomas M'Guire, aged 20, a hooker-on
at a colliery, who, as he was descending the pit in a basket,
on the 16th instant, fell out, and was killed. Verdict,
"Accidental."—Manchester Courier.
THE LIVERPOOL ADDRESS TO KOSSITTIE.—On Satur-

day, an adjourned preliminary meeting was held at the
Clarendon-rooms, to determine on an address to Kossuth.
The attendance was numerous, and Mr. George Holt was
called to the chair. The committee appointed last week
presented their address,which was deemed too long, and it
-was referred back for reduction. The address was sub-
sequently reduced and agreed upon. On the motion of
'Mr. H. M. Haylock, seconded by Mr. Wm. Rathbone, it
was resolved that a public meeting of the inhabitants
should be called to adopt the address ; and the committee
was deputed to arrange for the meeting and for the
presentation of the document to Kossuth. A subscription
was enwed into to defray the expenses. It will be seen
by advertisement that the meeting will be held in the

THE PRINCIPLE OF 'VOLUNTARY EDUCATION.---The
advocates of the voluntary principle of popular education
having held a series of meetings in Manchester for the
promotion of their views,have now opened the.campaign
in Liverpool. Nearly the whole of Wednesday was de-
voted .to a conference in Newington Chapel for free dis-
cussion.on the general subject of national education, and
especially the consideration of the plans adopted by the
Educational Board of the Congregational Union; while,
on the previous evening, an introductory address was.de-
livered by.the Rev. G. W. Conder, of Leeds. A public
meeting was held in Great tGeorge-street Chapel, .on
Wednesday evening, for the purpose of hearing the advo.
cocates of the voluntary system state their views at length,
and of forming a branch society in connexion with the
Congregational Board of London. The Rev. Dr. Raffles
occupied the .chair; and after making a few remarks in
advocacy of the principle of voluntary education, intro-
duced Mr. E. Baines to the meeting, who read a paper on
" Our Educational Position, with remarks upon the two
Manchester plans of Education."

FIRES.—On Saturday evening, a little before seven
o'clock. a fire broke out in the cellar of Alessrs. Speers and
Saunders' paint warehouse, Brook-street, and, from the
combustible nature of the materials, the greatest appre-
hensions were entertained for the safety of the surrounding
property. Mr. Ilewitt, with a portion of the fire-brigade,
engines, and other apparatus, was speedily in attendance,
and, by great promptitude, succeeded in extinguishing the
flames before much damage was done. It may be stated,
as a remarkable and fortunate circumstance, that some
casks of naptha which caught fire had the hoops burnt
without communicating with the inflammable material
which the casks contained. The fire is attributed to the
very careless use of a candle in looking for a shilling which
bad been dropped in the cellar. We believe Messrs.
Speers and Saunders are insured in the West of England
and Phoenix-offices. The engine of the former com-
pany was on the spot soon after the fire broke out.---At
noon, on Saturday. there was an alarm of fire on the pre-
mises occupied by Mr. John Noble., Canal-banks, but very
little damage was done.

BAZAAR.—ST. MATHEW'S CHURCH AND SCHOOLS,---
A bazaar in aid of the funds for the completion and con-
secration of St. Matthew's Church and Schools, Hill-
street, Toxteth-park, was commenced on Tuesday, in the
Royal Assembly-rooms, Great George•street, and con-
tinued till last evening. The articles exhibited for sale
included a beautiful and costly assortment of ladies' work.
There was, however, a preponderance ,of the useful over
the mere decorative, Irish linen fabrics being present in
great bulk, of the best quality, and selling off, if not at a
" tremendous sacrifice,' at least at unusually low prices.
The stalls were presided over respectively by Miss Tails,.
Mrs. W. M. Smith, Mrs. Bogeart, Miss Watts (of Mac-
clesfield), Miss Wright, Mrs. Tickell, Miss Goode, Miss
Forrest, Miss Henderson, and other ladies, nearly all of
whom were handsome contributors also. The Rev. Mr.
Brewster had charge of not less than three stalls, and was
most courteously attentive to visitors, whilst Mr. Tickell,
at the other end of the room, displayed some beautiful
statuettes, and the rarest of China pottery from Stafford•
shire. Emidy's brass band enlivened the proceedings by
playing the most popular airs at intervals. The Archbishop
of Canterbury, the Right Rev. Chancellor Raikes; E.
Cropper, Esq., R. Bickersteth, Esq., and the Rev. James
lioldenStewart, are the patrons of St. Matthew's Church.
Tile receipts are expected to reach about £3OO.

meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, at the

that there was a balance of £137 in favour of the society.
The report showed that the society's operations during
the past year had been satisfactory, and that the whole of
the schools under its control were in an efficient state.
The half-'yearly examination of the children was highly
satisfactory. The report was ordered to be printed. The

new committee was appointed, and the proceedings termi-

LITERARY

AND PHILOSOPHICAL

SOCIETY

The

annual meeting was held on Monday evening, Mr.

a variety of other matters, congratulated the members
on the publication of the biennial volume of the society's
procee,dinsq lOnatin.,- '

A long list of donations during the past year
was reported. Mr. Heath, treasurer, then read the
accounts, from which it appeared that a sum of £32 9s. Bd.
was due to him. The following gentlemen were elected
new members of the council :—The Rev. J. S. Howson,
J. Hartnup, J. A. Piston, Dr. Time, and Mr. Byerley.
The vice-presidents were then elected. The choice fell
upon Dr. 'Dickenson, Dr. Duncan, and Mr. Robert
WAnclrew. The treasurer and secretary were then re-
elected by acclamation, after which the proceedings
terminated.

LIFERPOOL .4C,MEME—(FourthNotice)

No. 32, " Valentine rescuing Silvia from Protens, and
reproaching him for his falsity," by Mr. Wm. Holman
Hunt. This is one of the most remarkable pictures in
the Exhibition; there is no denying its talent, but it is
impossible not to regret that a painter of such abilities
as Mr. Hunt should have fallen into the vagaries of the
pre-Raphaelite school. The colouring is good, and the
expression of the dramatis personce is masterly, but the
tapestry style of the picture displeases.
No. 33, " Just ripe," is a pretty and clever little picture
by Mr. R. Clothier.

No. 34, " Raglan Castle, Monmouthshire," by Mr. F.
Watts. This picture has but little merit ; it is harsh, and
without any interest as a landscape.
•No. 35, "Cart-horses Watering," by Mr. J. Dearman.
The animals are well drawn, and the general arrangement
of the picture is good, but the colouring is cold.
No. 36, " Goodrych Ferry, on the Dart," by Mr. F.
Watts. The perspective is admirably managed.
No. 37, " Monte Pellegrino," by Mr. J. W. Carmichael.
This a clever, br.ght, and masterly picture, showing much
merit in its details.

No. 38. " A Lady Drawing," by Mr. J. G. Gilbert,
P.S.A. This is a beautiful portrait, life size ; the attitude
and expression are easy and. charming ' • the face has the
studious look which characterises all the portraits we have
seen by this clever artist.

No. 39, " Rustic Children," by Miss E. Goodall. A
nicd little cabinet picture.

No. 40, "The Hayfield," by Mr. H. Shirley. Another
small picture of but little merit.

No. 41, " Musing by the Way," by Mr. H. M. Anthony,
and No. 42, " Dead Game, Capercailzie," &c., by Mr.
W. Davis, are crude attempts.
No. 43, "A Country Road," by Mr. E. Jayne, is a
choice little piece of landscape in the admirable style of
H. J. Boddington ; it is well managed, and the colouring
is warm and (:leasing.

No. 44, " The Surprised," by Mr. Chester Wilson.
The drawing of this picture is good.
No. 45, " Wild Flowers," by Mr. J. E. Lander. A
cleverly painted picture, Rernbrandtish in style and
colouring.

Alexander

No. 4-6, " Highland courtship," by Mt
Johnson. A picture of no great merit, either in execu

non 'or design—giving rather the idea of a theatrical
tableaux than a pair of Highland rustics making love.
No. 47, " Evening at the Canal of Giudecca, Venice,"
by Mr. E. W. Cooke. A nice warm little sketch, in,
Turner's style of colouring ; the atmosphere is well
managed, but the water is not quite in keeping with the
sky-tints.

No. 48, " Fruit," by Miss Hunt. Fruit cannot be well
represented in oil colours, except by the most masterly
hands. .Tn this groUp the artist has certainly failed—
t here are, nevertheless, some nice touches, shewing that she
could ensure better success in an easier subject.
No. 49, RUstic .Bridge, near Nantlie, Carnarvon
shire," by Mr. J. W. Oakes. A very clever sketch, the
colouring good, and the distances well managed. Mr.
Oakes studies nature closely, and has an excellent appre-
ciation of the picturesque.
No. 50, " Cattle in a Farm-yard," by Mr. John Dear-
man. Tndifferently executed—the colouring coarse, and
the anatomy of the animals very faulty.

No. 51; " Afoonlight,"
