WOODiIDE STEAMERS.—The rapidity with which the
steamers start for Woodside has long been acknowledged
as a great public convenience; but there is still room for
improvement. The time of starting the steamers from
Woodside is now entirely optional with the captain of each
boat, and the result is that one leaves when the boat from
Liverpool is about mid-chanel, another iar mediately she
starts for Liverpool, while another waits hanging on till
she is so close, that the boat to arrive has actually to stop
her eneines to prevent a collision. Some rule should be
laid down, more particularly now when there so many
omnibusses that run to meet particular boats. Disap-
pointments are daily occurring.
THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK PLANS.--Admiral Beaufort
and Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P., the referees appointed
by Government in respect to Messrs. Rendell and Aber-
nethy's rival plans for the comnlelion of the Birkenhead
Docks, sat for some hours on Saturday, at tie offices of
Mr. Stephenson, Great George-street, Westminster.
Several witnesses were examined, among whom were Sir
John M'Neile, the eminent Irish engineer, and Mr. Geo.
Rennie. Little progress has yet been made apparently
towards arriving at a decision. The prevalent impression
in the room on Saturday was, that the referees will most
probably recommend a compromise, a modification of both
plans, with a view to a combination of the best. At the
same time, the further impression appeared to be, that it
would be wholly impossible to devise any suggestion that
should admit of such mutual concession, the antagonistic
schemes of the engineers being irreconcilably conflicting
in principle and detail ; and that the adoption of one or
ocher in its integrity must be determined upon conclu-
sively by parliament next session.
RAINFORD SCHOOLS.—These schools have been raised
under many difficulties, by the exertions of the Rev.
J.

Groom, forinerly of Si. lan's, Liverpool. Since their
erection, eighteen months ago, they have progressed very
satisfactorily under the superintendence of the Misses
Lewis, from the Cornwallis-street infant training school.
On Thursday last Mr. W. Clark, master of the Church of
England School, Soutb, was invited to attend the exami-
nation of the children. Their appearance was very cre-
ditable, and showed the care bestowed upon them. Mr.
Clark addressed the children, about 200 in number, en the
privileges they enjoy in having a school in connexion with
their church superintended daily by their respected minis-
ter, who evinces such anxiety for their temporal and spi-
ritual welfare ; he contrasted their present advantages
with their past wants, when they had neither schools, nor
any one to take an interest in their welfare. At the con-
clusion of his address, Mr. Clark opened a parcel, con-
taining a handsome volume of the scriptures, designed as
a present for their minister, and which Mr. Clark was
commissioned to purchase for them. Acclamations burst
from the children on seeing this token of affection towards
their pastor. Mr. Clark presented it on behalf of the
children. The Rev. Mr. Groom, with visible emotion,
rose and said :—My dear Children—l assure you I am
most highly gratified and pleased by your very handsome
and kind present. I value it for its own sake, but I value
it still more for the spirit of affection and gratitude which
prompted you to give it to me. lam very thankful that
you love your schools, and prize the instructions of your
kind mistresses; and it is also very pleasing to me to be
assured that your parents are satisfied with the progress
which ynu are making. For the past lam most thankful,
and for the future let me very affectionately urge you to
be more and more diligent, trying even more than you
have hitherto done, to please your parents and your
teachers. Look upon your schools, and every other of
your blessings, as the gifts of a gracious God, and use
them thankfully to His glory. Remember that your school
days will be very soon over, and that neither now, nor
when you grow up to be men end women, can you afford
to lose time. Prey God to bless you, my dear young friends,
and to give to you and to your parents His holy spirit for
Jesus Christ's sake ; and accept the best wishes and
prayers of your affectionate minister and most sincere
friend, JoffN GROOM.

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.

ST. GEORGE'S BATHS.—To the exertions of Mr.
Alderman Parker and others, we are greatly indebted for
establishment of baths and wash-houses, and obviating
the nuisance that for years existed of drying clothes in the
, public thoroughfares ; but with facilities so great as those
now proposed by the corporation, we are surprised to find
that daily the area at the pier-head baths, and even the
rails surrounding them, are covered with unseemlyarticles
of ladies' dress, towels, &c. The building itself is no
ornament to the town, and this decoration does not im-
prove it. The Baths' Committee should patronize the
wash-houses.
THE GUNPOWDER MAGAZINE.—The site for the float-
ing magazines has been fixed upon. The Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty, with the approval of the
Master-General of Ordnance, and the commissioners for
the conservancy of the river Mersey, have selected that
part of the river Mersey which lies along the western side
of the Eastham Sate's, to the eastward of Bromboro'
Pool, for the mooring of vessels suitable for the reception
and storage of gunpowder, in conformity witn the act 14
and 16 Vic., cap. 67. Taking the Liverpool Custom-
house as a centre, the new magazines will be about the
same distance from Liverpool as the stores are on the
other side of the water.
LECTURES ON THE APOSTLES.—Weunderstand that the
Rev. Dr. M'Nelle commenced, on Thursday last, at St.
Paul's Church. a course of lectures on the " Biography of
the Apostles." The subject of the first discourse was on
the parentage, birth, and education of St. Paul, in which
the reverend gentleman traced the history of that (Tie-
prated man up to his journey to Damascus. The apostle's
miraculous conversion, and other eventful incidents in his
remarkable life, will form the subject of the lecture on
Thursday evening ; and during the service we are inform.
ed that a young convert from the Church of Rome will
publicly renounce the errors of that apostate system, and
be received within the pale of the Christian Church.
PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—On Tuesday evening, the
sixth subscription concert for the season took place. The
principal attractions were Madame Viardot Garcia and
Signor Tamberlik, who made his first appearance before a
Liverpool audience, and was most deservedly successful.
The instrumental performances consisted of one of Men-
delssohn's overtures, Auber's overture to " La Sirene,"
and the " Cosi fan tutti." with a violin solo` y Mr. E. W.
Thomas. The madrigals and chorusses contained some of
the old favourites. together with a four-part sosig—" The
Hunter's Farewell," by Mendelssohn—a very beautiful
composition. The concert was numerously and fashion-
ably attended, and has been pronounced as decidedly the
best which the Society has given.
THE PUBLIC CLOCKS.—There is no town in the king-
dom in which the public clocks are worse managed than
in Liverpool. The variation of a few seconds would be
of little moment, but minutes are of some note here. St.
Peter's is about the best, and when with sonorous tone
he tolls out the hour, St. John, as if not to disturb the
tone, and of course to give the public a distinctive sound,
follows after some minutes in the rear. St. George's,
on which, bye the bye, a total eclipse has been for some
weeks, comes still further in the wake, and those who
have depended on its wily face and treacherous hands,
have been sorely disappointed in saving rail or boat. The
pier-clock is nearer within a trifle, and at the old clock the
works have been stopped for more than a week, not even
a strike has taken place, and now, as if blushing with
shame, its hands are kept permanently across its face.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On Friday morning, shortly
after eight o'clock, curing the gale, one of the sails of
Evans's windmill, at the bottom of Mill-lane, Shaw's.
brow, was carried away. It struck against the chimney
of the house of Mr. Lucas, sailmaker, in Golding-court,
adjoining, and besides knocking down the chimney broke
in almost the entire of the roof. At the time a child was
sleeping in a bed in the top room, and, although the bed
was almost completely covered with the ruined roof, the
child miraculously escaped with but a slight injury to its ,
head. It appears that the sails and mill have not under-
gone examination or repair for a considerable length of
time, notwithstanding the inhabitants of the district have
expressed their apprehensions of danger therefrom. The PUBLIC MEETINGS

AS7AULT UPON A POLICE-OFFICEIC—Anthony Walsh and
Miles Philby, two Irishmen, were charged with a violent assault
upon police-officer M`Callan (100). Ile prisoners, on the pre-
vious night, were passing un Prescot-street, creating a disturb-
ance and pushing people off the foot-walk. The officer remon-
strated with them, when one of them struck him a blow with
potato fork, the effect of which was to break his wrist.—Fined
40s. and costs each, or be imprisoned one month.
AN UNRULY SON-IN-LAW.—A fellow named Martin was
charged with an assault upon James Innis, by striking him with
a knife on the face. The nrisoner had married the complain-
ant's daughter, and behaved so abusively to her that her father
took het from him, and gave her money to start a small shop
in a cellar. On the 26th instant, the prisoner scent there and
threw a number of loaves into the street, after which he behaved
to the father as stated.—The prisoner was bound over to keep

recovered as to be able to give evidence. The facts of the case
are these : —On the 14th of July, during the time of the riot,
Jackson, who was off duty, but was in his uniform, was walk-
ing out with his wife; when, seeing an individual assaulted by
a crowd of persons, he thought it his duty to interfere. He
took the prisoner Morgan into custody, when he was struck
with a brick or stone on the head by Rourke. Several per-
sons, amongst whom was_Morgan, jumped on him and kicked

him.' He got up, when he was knocked down again with a
poker' by Rigley. Upon attempting to rise, he was struck on
the head with a sharp instrument. He was kicked by Rigley
when down, and bled very much. He then became insensible,

that an arrangement was suggested through it. He,
therefore, wished to know whether, in such cases, the
advocate, who had the trouble of preparing his case, would
be allowed the advocate's fees, as also witnesses' expenses.
The debt was £4O, and if the case had been heard, the
advocate's fee would be £2. The judge referred to the
act, and said that in all cases of costs he would, in his
decisions, take into consideration the amount of labour
and time occupied prior to his decision. The bill of costs
was handed to Mr. Statham, but we did not hear that

THE GRAND NATIONAL EXHIBITION OF
THE PRODUCTS OF THE GARDEN, THE
FIELD, THE POULTRY YARD, AND THE
COTTAGE, HELD AT TARVIN HALL.

This novel exhibition, possessing, as it did, so many
,ttractive features, terminated on Friday evening, after a

were hardly ever surpassed in any instance. The first ca-
lamity arose on Sunday, during the hurricane, which
spread•destrtiction in every direction. The splendid col-
lection of dahlias planted out for exhibition, and_occupy-

however, being laid out in a very ornamental style, still
afforded a fine promenade. The ground planted with
Messrs. Dickson's collection of hardy annuals, each in a

n acre, was untn

much in the general effect. This an.l the dahlia ground
was connected by a beautifully-constructed bridge, on the
tension arid compression principle: its lightness was so

extreme that before being put up it was easily carried to
its place on one man's back ; nevertheless, when fixed, it
bore the weight of ten persons without the slightest per-

ceptible deflection. The magnificent rockery at the en-
trance-court, adorned with the large lotus fountain (exhi-
bited by Messrs. C. D. Young and Co.) in operation, was
also designed and executed by Mr. Harrison, whose good
taste in these matters has been long known and appreciated
in Chester.
Proceeding from the rockery, a fine avenue of holly-
hocks (200 yards long), in full perfection, led the visitor
between the dahlia and annual ground, and beneath the

Tension-bridge to the large gravelled space occupied by
several marquees devoted to amusements connected with
the bazaar, also the enquiry tent, and the printing-cffice.
under the able superintendence of Mr. Thomas, of
Chester, where the exhibitors bad their various tickets
I printed as they were wanted.

The bazaar itself occupied a large room, 60 feet in
length, adjoining the Lecture and Concert-hall. The
well-filled stalls were presided over by Mrs. and the
Misses Fox, of Birkenhead, Mrs. John Lnwe, of Clifton-
park. Mrs. and Miss Brown, of Bolton, Miss Low, Miss
Lace, of Birkenhead, the Misses Morley, and Miss
Barrol, of Chester, Mrs. and the Misses Brindley, Mrs
Sapio, and several other ladies, who plied their self
imposed task with graceful tact and successful

D. Young and Co., and the conifers by Mr, Skirving, of
the Walton Nursery,) was the exhibition ground, four
acres in extent, around three sides of which extended the
the gigantic tent, 500 yards in length. Entering this tent,
at the uppbr end was a miscellaneous collection of articles
—a choice set of beehives, in every variety of form, from
Messrs. Neighbours, of Holborn, London—the curiously-
ingenious little poeket stove of Mr. Rigby, by which a
dinner can be cooked at the most trifling expense, in an
incredibly short time: conseouently well adented t I.nti

surveyors ano mariners, who are engaged at a distance from
home—hisenious fountains for poultry and game, from
Bailey of London—a magnificent orchid, (Cattleya Liar-
risotai,) from Sir P. Egerton—an extensive series of
ceramic manufactures, such as ornamental flower pots,
garden seats, edgings for borders, tiles for greenhouse
flnors and walls, of the most elegant patterns, by

Mintons and Ridgeway, of Staffordshire—lavatory and
conservatory fountains—a collection of articles in slate, as
cisterns for conservatories, stoves, &c., and two elegant
and useful adaptations cf slate for fern growing and
for seed-pans, invented by Mr. Thomas C. Archer.
These were all exhibited by Messrs. Rayner and Brown,
of Lime-street • then followed a collection of LOOO cut
specimens of forest trees, collections of seeds, garden

tools, greenhouse and stove plants, and a very choice and
extensive lot of coniferse, altogether upwards of 3,000
specimens. The entrance to their portion of the tent was
adorned by a device superior to any we ever saw before ;
it was an immense portico in the Tonic style, formed in
hollyhock flowers of different colours.

Another large space was occupied by collections of fruit
vegetables, plants, &c., from the gardens of Chirk Castl,

and Oulton-part, several of the latter grown by the sons
of Mr. R. Errincton, who bid fair to follow in the foot-
steps of their veteran father as practical horticulturists.

new palm, said to be quite hardy, 24 species of the Sik-
kim Himlaya Rhododendrons, discovered by Dr. Hooker,
the new Berberis Japonica and Nepaleusis, and many
others never before exhibited formed the next group ;
they were contributed by Messrs. Standish and Noble, of
Bagshot Heath, Surrey ; then followed a series of !IV-
cult •ral products from various exhibitors, amongst which
that of Mr. Chivas, of Chester, was remarkable for an
admirable selection of cereals, agricultural roots, and a
collection of grasses, implements, tools, rustic seats, &c.,
in all about 400 specimens ; then followed the agricultural
exhibitors, who were very numerous, and excited great
interest by the remarkable excellence of the articles shewn;
foremost amongst them was Mr. Higgins, of the firm of
J. Hadwin and Co., of this town, Mr. Patin, of Staple-
ford, and Mr. Beckett, of Oulton ; several fine specimens
of hops were shewn, the most,beautiful being from Kent,
by Mr. Barlow; much of the cottagers' produce was very
good,—but the gem of the horticultural department was
the collections of roses and hollyhocks, from Messrs. Lane,
of Berkhampstead, who took the gold medal for roses ;
and Messrs. Puul, of Cheshunt, whose roses were injured
by the boxes being turned up-side-down on the railway.
Their hollyhocks excited the greatest admiration and
astonishment, and were deservedly rewarded with the

. .
gold medal. In the same tent Was also a collection of
picotees and carnations from Mr. Wilmer, of Sunbury,
Middlesex, which was rewarded with a certificate of
merit; and at the end of these 500 yards of covered tent was
a gigantic leaf of the Victoria Regime, the celebrated
water lily, which excited much interest in those who had
not before seen it. The exhibition of poultry was, per-
haps, one of the finest ever held. The principal exhibitors
were Lady Grey Egerton, Miss Egerton, Miss and Mr.
Beckett, Edward Simons, Esq., of Birmingham ; Dr.
Gwynne, Miss Coulthurst, Mr. Henry Hillier, of Birken-
head ; Mr. J. Churton, of Chester; Mr. Moulton, of
Sandiway ; and Mr. Lister, of Over.

The large field surrounded with the tents was almost
covered with agricultural implements, ornamental wire-
work vases, and a great variety of ornamental and useful
appliances in metal and stone. In the centre was the
splendid Britannia Vase, exhibited also at the Crystal

Palace, by C. I). Young and Co., who also showed a horse
churn and two hand churns; the formed received the gold
medal, and the latter certificates of the judges approval.
They had besides an immense number of useful and or-
namental objects, such as patent rick-stands, feeding
troughs, stable-fittings, garden chairs, flower stands,
labels, trellises, hurdles, gates, fencing, vases, sun-dials,
fountains, &c., all of which were much admired. Mr.
AlMay, of Birmingham, had a chef d'ceuvre in wire work,
intended for a rosery. Messrs. Bennett, of Liverpool ;
Wm. Harkes, of Lostock Graham ; John Harkes, Chivas,
and others exhibited agricultural implements.

Lectures were given—by Dr. Robinson on the Belgian
mode of -economising manures—by Mr. T. C. A-cher on
the peculiarities of the leaves of plants, especially referring
to the Victoria regina—and by Mr. Paul, of the Cheshunt
Nurseries, on the biography of flowers.
Three bands were in attendance : that of Leche,
Esq., of Carden Park ; the Cheshire Yeomanry band ;
and that of Mr. Sorge of Liverpool.
Owing to the unceasing torrents of rain on Tuesday, a
meeting was called of the committee, judges, and principal
exhibitors *: about 150 gentlemen mustered, and it was
a2'reed upon to postpone the opening until the next day.
Wednesday, when the exhibition was opened, but the
weather continued very unfevourable all the week, by
which the receipts were very much injured. Notwith-
standing, the success which attended the efforts of the
committee to bring together specimens of the produce of
nearly every county in the kingdom was so complete that
steps are already being taken to perpetuate the association.
and institute annual exhibitions. As soon as the prizes
have been officially announced, and the catalogue pub-
lished, it will he made known when and where the next
similar meeting will be held. We think it would be
wrong to remove it from Tarvin, which, from the beauty
of the locality, the educational advantages it affords to the
pupils of the Tarvin Hall Collegiate Institution, and other
circumstances, is a highly-desirable locality.
We cannot close our report without alluding to the
advantages afforded at this popular and flourishing semi-
nary to the numerous young gentlemen—a hundred and
five—at present receiving an excellent education here.
The visitors appeared highly gratified with their gentle-
manly and polite demeanour ; and, though with the ex-
ception of one day they pursued their studies with the
usual attention and vigour, they had abundant opportu-
nities of deriving instruction and amusement from the
gratifying proceedings around them. They were all evi-
dently in the most robust health, and we have been seldom
more delighted than with the conversation sad behaviour
of those with whom we were happily brought in contact.
They are the offspring of many of the first families in all
parts of the United Kingdom, and several of them, we
anticipate, will figure conspicuously in their various spheres
in after life.

TESTIMONIAL.—On Saturday the congregation of St.
Jude's presented their excellent curate, the Rev. T. te.
Sutton, with a handsome testimonial, as a mark of their
esteem for him, on his retiring from the curacy.
