MISCELLANEOUS

LARGE SALMON.—A salmon, the largest caught this
season in the Tay, weighing 43i lbs., was taken at Black-
ing station, last week. This fishing is rented by D 1 r. Young,
Watergate, who had £4 is., remitted to him from his
agent in London for this fine fish, being 2s. per lb., or 10d.
more than the market price.—Perthshire Courier.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—A few days ago, whilst a man

theatre immediately in front of the gallery, from which
was projecting a bar of iron, a portion of the scaffolding
gave way, and he was immediately precipitated into the
pit, falling with his head downwards. During the fall his
head came in contact with the bar of iron in front of the
gallery, which it broke, and also in the pit the poor fellow's
head again struck upon and went through a temporary

woodenAep in front of the centre box ; but, fortunately,
he was not hurt beyond a few bruises, and is now at work

PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT ON THE
LIVERPOOL LOCAL BILLS.

The Sanatory Regulations Bill, the Paving, Sewer-
age, and Watering Bill, the Water Bill, the Harring-
ton Water-works Bill, and the Toxteth-park Improve-
ment. Bill, having been referred by the committee of
selection to the South Lancashire lists with three selected
members, the proceedings commenced on Tuesday last.
The selected members were Mr. Ward, Mr. Gisborne,
and Mr. M`Geachy. The Corporation, the Highway
Commissioners, the Liverpool and Harrington Water

Company' and the Commissioners of Toxteth-park, were
respectively represented by counsel. The Sanatory Re-
gulations Bill was first discussed. A petition was pre-
sented against it from the Toxteth-park Commissioners,
and another from the Abattoir Company. Mr. Austin
stated the case for the Corporation. Mr. Serjeant Tel-

ford, for the Highway Commissioners. said his Clients had
prepared two bills, with a view of effecting some of the
principal objects proposed by the present bill, but having
by a recent public meeting ascertained the feeling of the
inhabitants, they would not persist in their own bills, on
the understanding that a clause should be introduced in-
demnifying them for all expenses, in which case he should
cffer no opposition. Mr. Rushton, the magistrate, gave
evidence showing the necessity for the municipal recula-

tions which the OM prov►ues. a els um, nu .1 US UV
knew, had been prepared in entire conformity with the
recommendations of the sanatory commissioners, as far as
they were applicable to Liverpool, with such modifications
as local circumstances rendered necessary. No important
regu!ation was omitted for the cleanliness and health of
'the town, and it was inconvenient that the duties thereto
appertaining should be confided to different bodies. What
was elicited from M r. Rushton in cross-examination tended
to confirm his evidence in chief. Mr. J. Lawrence and
Mr. 1-1. G. Harbord were examined at great length.—On
Wednesday, the inquiry was resumed, the Chairman con-
fining it to the question of jurisdiction between the Town
Council and the Toxteth Commissioners, excluding for

the present the question of the Water Works Company.
Mr. Ambrose Lace was called on behalf of the promoters,
and concurred with Mr. Rushton as to the injurious
effects of a divided jurisdiction. He expressed strong
opinions in favour of the bill. Mr. J. B. Williams,
civil engineer, gave evidence in favour of the drainage,

&c., b?ing under one manacement, for the sake of economy
ri,d effectual working. This closed the case for the Council.
Mr. Macauley was then heard fur the Commissioners of
Toxtetit, and entered into statistics of the sewarege they
had accomplished. They wished for further powers to
catry on the improvements, and the inhabitants were in
favour of those Dowers being granted. It would be in-

those powers were denied them,
rates would be equivalent to sd.
