PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT ON THE
LIVERPOOL LOCAL BILLS.

The Sanatory Regulations Bill, the Paving, Sewer-
age, enti 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
offer no opposition. Mr. Rushton, the magistrate, gave
evidence showing the necessity for the municipal regula-
tions which the bill, provides. This bill, so far as he
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
regulation 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. H. G. Harbor(' 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. Anibrose Lace was called on behalf of the promoters,
and concurred with Mr. Rushton as to the injurious
effects of a diyided jurisdiction. He expressed strong
opinions in favour of the bill. Mr. J. B. Williams,
civil engineer, gave evidence in favour of the drainage,
&c., being under one management, for the sake of economy
and effectual working. This closed the case for the Council.
Mr. Macauley was then heard for the Commissioners of
Toxteth, 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 powers being granted. It would be in-
jurious to the rural portion of the township especially if
those powers were denied them, as otherwise the loss in
rates would be equivalent to sd. in the pound, and in ex-
penses as much more. Several other gentlemen gave
evidence in the same behalf. This closed the Toxteth
Commissioners' case. Mr. John Stewart being called,
stated that the sewerage proposed by the Corporation
would be effectual in draining. Speeches were then made
pro and con, and the Chairman (the room having pre-
viously been cleared) said, " It is the unanimous opinion
of the committee that the preamble of this bill is proved."
The committee again adjourned. On Thursday, the com-
mittee proceeded with the clauses. On one of the clauses
being read, and a question put by the Chairman, it was
stated by the agent for the Toxteth Commissioners that
they did not intend to proceed with their bill. Some
discussion took place relative to Mr. Etches's slaughter
houses; and the position of the Abattoir Company, who,
it was stated, had expended £30,000, and only wished the
act 26 Geo. 111., on the faith of which they had acted, to
be carried out. The committee recommended that the
clauses affecting those parties should be postponed, so
that they might arrive at some principle that would put
an end to all doubt, and give the Corporation adequate
sanitary powers in respect to slaughter houses. It was
eventually agreed that the provisions of the old act, 26
Geo. 111., should be revived, so that no person be allowed
to slaughter for wholesale, except in the slaughter houses
of the Abattoir Company: and also, that for retail pur-
poses. the Corporation should have power to grant licenses
as under the provisions of the Improvement Act. After
deciding that the whole case, both as affecting the Corpo-
ration and the Water Company, should be gone into next
day, the committee adjourned, having passed all but the
Abattoir Company and water clauses. On Friday, the
discussion took place on the question of the additional
supply of water. The members of the committee pre-
sent were Mr. Ward, Mr. Gisborne, and Mr. Rice Clay-
ton, from the selected list ' • from the South Lancashire
list, Lord Sandon. Sir H. Douglas, Mr. Cornwall Legb,
Sir P. Egerton, Mr. Tollemache, Mr. Ireland Blackburn,
and Mr. Entwisle. The bill of the Liverpool and Har-
rington Water Company was brought up by Viscount
Sandon and Sir H. Douglas. By the title, it purported
to be a bill to amend the two acts of Geo. IV. for sup-
plying the town with water. The company were repre-
sented by three counsel, and the Corporation bad also en-
gaged three counsel, only one of whom appeared, (Mr.
Austin,) and that just before the committee rose. Mr.
Sergeant Wrangham spoke at length on behalf of the
Water Company, contended' that they had been misre-
presented, and that the opposition to their bill had arisen
from misapprehension of the state of the law, and of the
existing rights of the company. He related what had
taken place with regard to the water legislation at Liver-
pool, but we are not provided with any report of the ad-
dress. At the close of his speech, and before the evi-
dence was taken, the committee suggested the propriety
of a compromise being entered into between the contend-
ing parties, and adjournment until yesterday morning was
agreed upon, in order to afford time for consultation to
take dar.e. and the enmornmige. if nne,ihlo in ha affontaA

The Birkenhead Improvement Bill was read a third
time and passed, in the House of Commons, on Friday.
A beautiful brigantine vessel, purchased by a company
in this town, and intended for the West India trade, was
launched on Monday at Plymouth.
RAPID INCREASE OF MANCHESTER.-FrOM a report,
prepared by the chief constable, and read by Alderman
Kay, at a recent meeting of the Town Council, it appears
that since the census was taken in 1841, there has been a
clear addition of 59,770 souls to the population of the
borough, being more than the increase from 1831 to 1841,
which was 53,373. The entice population is now reckoned
at 295,277.
NAVIGATION OF THE MENAL—It appears that many
perilous obstructions exist in the bed of this river, and
that applicatiOn is about to be made to government for
the purpose of removing them. The North Wales Chro-
nicle says :—" Had it pleased heaven to bestow upon
Wales a man like Cobden or O'Connell, better luck would
attend our supplications ; but a voice from, Wales was
rarely or never heard in the senate, and there being no
agitator to bully the minister into compliance, the minis-
ter buttons up the public purse. This is exactly the po-
sition of the principality. Gainsay it who can ?"—Welsh
Paper. [Why not fill up the straits at the narrowest
part, and thus kin Anglesea to the main land ? No more
money would be required than would be necessary to re-
move these " perilous obstructions ;" in fact, of what use
is the navigation of the Straits at all, when the Irish
Channel answers the same purpose ? This done, the
Holyhead Railway Company need no longer bother their
heads about a bridge, as Anglesea would then be part of
the main land, and enable them to cross with their line.]
THE LOST FonNn.—in November last several vessels
sailed from Canada for this and other ports. The lapse of
months-bringing no tidings of their fate, the crews were
at length considered amongst the dead, the ships amongst
the wrecked. Such, and so unfortunate, appeared to have
been their fate. On Tuesday last, however, one of these
long-lost vessels suddenly entered the river, after having
disappeared from view for upwards of six months, bring-
ing tidings of delight, not only to the relatives of her own
crew, but also to those of four others. The Syria, it ap-
pears, left Montreal for this port in November last; expe-
rienced in th f of St. Lawrence very severe gales;
and, at lengt*, the 12th December, after having been
on shore and discharged part of her cargo, put into St.
George's Bay, on the west coast of Newfoundland. There
she found a vessel named the Athole, also from Montreal,
and there the two vessels wintered, sailing together for
their proper destination, on the 22d ult. Of the remain-
ing missing vessels we learn that three, the William Han-
nington, from Quebec for London ; the Suir, from Que-
bec for Llanelly ; and the British Union, were wrecked in
the bay of St. George's, in the month of December, but
that the crews of the two former vessels were saved : the
crew of the British Union was far from experiencing the
same happy fortune.

APPREDENSION OF THE CELEBRATED HENRY
NORMAN.—On Wednesday, much curiosity was excited I
in the Police-court, owing to the examination of a man
who gave his name George Blake, but whose real name it
was al'eged, was Henry Norman, whose "extraordinary
confession" in a letter sent to his late employer in London,
lately went the round of the papers. Be was apprehended
here on Tuesday, at the instance of a man named Daniel
Beard, who accidentally met him in the streets, and in-
stantly recognised him as a person who had acted as a
clerk in the customs of Jamaica, and absconded with the
sum of £750, The prisoner, who is a man of dark com-
plexion and well-dressed, appeared to be about 2G years of
age. He was defended by Mr. Davenport. Beard, upon
being sworn, stated that in the year 1840 he was acting as
landing-waiter in the customs department, Kingston, Ja-
maica,, and at that time the prisoner was a clerk in the
Customs, Two or three days after the prisoner left the
employment the sum of £750 was missed. Witness believed
that the prisoner was the man who committed the robbery,
he knew him well, and he recollected that at the time be
was in the service of the CUraarris, be went. by the name of
Henry Norman. The prisoner was remanded that the
necessary inquiries might be made in London. On Friday.;
a letter was read in town to the effect that the Customs
would not prosecute, as they should have to send the pri-
soner to Jamaica for trial, and as it might be difficult to
procure a conviction, as the circumstances occurred eight
years ago, and some of the necessary witnesses might not
be forthcoming. He will, however, be tried .in London
for robbing his late employer, Mr. Hoof, the railway con-
tractor, of the sum of £57. On Saturday, the prisoner
was brought up again, when, by. Mr. Rushton's orders,
he was given up to a London Inspector of Police, who
had come down. At the prisoner's lodgings in Upper
Pitt-street, the sum of £2O, and a large bundle of manu-
scripts were found, which were taken possession of. One
of the manuscripts, which, if put in type, would form a
tolernbly•sized pamphlet, was entitled " The Tragedy of
the Knave and the Dupe," and was in the prisoner's
handwriting. The scene is laid in one of the lowest
quarters of the metropolis, and the piece is made to end
in the murder of the Dupe. The prisoner described him-
self as an author, hut, upon being closely questioned,
said that he had never published any work. He stated
that he was a native of Birmingham, and that he had
come to Liderpool 'after having attended the Chester
races. He was a " smart man," apparently about twenty.
eight years of age. He can read and write in a superior
manner, and held his situation in Mr. Hoof's employ-
ment about two months. It is said that, in the United
States of America, several bills of indictment have from
time to time been found against him.
