LIVERPOOL AND BRISTOIA.—In the five years en
1846, the rateable value of property in Liverpool proper
increased 19 per cent. ; whilst that of its out-parishes
analogous to Clifton increased 50 per cent. We inaY
be permitted to add, from the same authentic source,
that the total increase of rateable valuable property in the
borough of Liverpool during the same period was nearly
£lOO,OOO per annum, which is nearly equal to the rateable
value of the whole of Bristol !!—Bristol Journal..

by his constant and unremitting attention to the interests
of the society in Liverpool. Mr. Richardson, of Cocker'
