WATER TO LIVERPOOL.—Part of the meh employed in
guaging the water on the line of this great undertaking,
from Waddlesworth Brook to Rivington, still continue at
work, and it is probable that extensive operations will be
proceeded with' ere long, and be the means of affording
employment to a considerable number of hands.

It is in contemplation to establish a new periodical, to
circulate almost exclusively among the fellows and mem-
bers of the learned societies, for the purpose of reporting
to each body the proceedings of its contemporaries. It is
said to have originated with Dr. Hume, of this town, and
that he is to be the editor.

he died in an instant. It appeared that he had only gone
to lodge at the house on Wednesday evening, and com-
plained of being unwell. A man named Lynch, who was
passing by at the time, narrowly escaped being killed, for

ANOTHER DEATH OF A CHILD BY FlRE.—Yesterday
fortnight, Mary Chadwick, seven years of age, living with
her parents in Fairclough-street, went into a neighbour's
house opposite her own, and a little girl, named Wall,
who had gone in search of a playmate, found her standing
on the fender by the fire, and told her to come off, which
she did, but her frock had caught fire. The other little
girl endeavoured to put it out, but before the fire could be
extinguished she was so severely burnt on the back that
she died on Friday.
