MISMANAGEMENT OF THE BATHS.

The MAYOR read a letter from John Thornton, stating
that he had been employed at the Corporation Baths and
Wash-houses as fireman, and that he was prepared to
prove, by the entire mismanagement of those places, that
the object the council had in view in establishing them
had been in a great measure defeated.
Mr. BIRKETT observed that the writer was a discarded
servant, and Mr. SHEPPARD said there was an inquiry
pending on the subject.
The memorial was ordered to lie on the table.
THE NORRIS LETTERS.

The MAYOR read a letter from Mr. James Heywood,
of Manchester, brother to Sir Benjamin Heywood, asking
for a loan of the Norris letters, in the possession of the
council, with a view to their being made available by the
editor of a forthcoming publication.
The application was granted.
THE FREEMEN'S ROLL.
The TOWN-CLERK read the names of a list of persons
struck off the freemen's roll prior to 1836, having been
then supposed to be dead, and who had appeared, and now
claimed to be restored to the roll.
Their claim was allowed.
THE LIGHT-SHIPS AND BELL-BUOYS.
Mr. NORTH said he was extremely desirous of asking a
question of the Chairman of the Dock Committee, or the
chairman of the Marine Sub-Committee, but as neither of
those gentleman was in his place, he hoped some other
member would be enabled to impart the necessary infor-
mation. On the occasion of the late gale, the bell-buoy
had drifted up the river. It was well known that the bell-
buoy was one of the two main leading marks ; and it was
a crying evil, and one that language could not exaggerate,
that scarcely a gale of wind occurred but one or other of
those marks, either the light-ship or the bell-buoy, was
drifted. He hoped some explanation might be given
which would have the effect of settling the public mind on
the question, because it was really a matter of frightful
consideration. His own opinion was, that there was a ra-
dical mistake committed in the moorings—that the chains
were too heavy ; that the lower part of the chains was
embedded in the sand, and there was, therefore, no elas-
ticity, and that, under any very extraordinary pressure of
wind and weather, the vessels parted from their anchor-.

ge.
Mr. EVANS said it was a good practice in the House of
commons for members to give notice to those who were
expected to reply.
Mr. NORTH observed, that be had previously mentioned
the subject to the chairman of the Dock Committee.
Mr. EVANS believed that there was no providing against
casualties altogether. With regard to the moorings, that
was a subject which had been unceasingly under the con-
sideration of the Dock Committee, and in which great al-
terations had been made. But still where the very best
materials had been obtained, it had happened that there
were flaws in the iron which even the best intentioned
maker had been unable. to provide against ; and he (Mr.
Evans) was apprehensive that accidents of this sort would
occur, more or less, through all time. But he conceived
when the extent of the harbour, and of this great bay, and
of the great numbers of buoys and light-ships, werelooked
at, that the Dock Committee had not to reproach them-
selves with any uncommon amount of casualties.
Mr. SHAND said the subject had been repeatedly con-
si lered.
The conversation here dropped.
THE NEW ASSIZE COURTS.

I kip • )uncil, at this stage, was formed into a special one,

to consider the resolutions of the Finance Committee on
the reference to them on financial considerations of an ad-
ditional advance of £5OOO for the Courts of Law.
" The first resolution of the Finance Committee was
read as follows That it appears to this committee to
be difficult, under any circumstances, to justify, on finan-
cial grounds, the further advance of £5OOO for the Courts
of Law, but certainly no such advance can be recommend-
ed by this committee without a report to the council from
the committee on the Courts of Law and St. George's
Hall on the past, now proposed. and expected expendi-
ture, and on the appropriation and fitness of the several
parts of the building for the respective purposes intended,
comprising the result of investigations into the necessity
for the additions now proposed, and furnishing grounds on
which any financial arrangements reliance can be placed,
and the limit to the full amount which will be required to
be provided, and on the several purposes for such outlay
being satisfactorily accomplished for the benefit of the bo-
rough."
At a special meeting of the Law Courts Committee, it
was resolved that, under the circumstances detailed in the
foregoing resolution, they would not carry out the instruc-
tions of the last council, and were desirous of soliciting the
further instructions of the council as to the best course to
pursue.
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER said that, in consequence of
this resolution of the Law Courts Committee, it was con-
sidered desirable to have a conference between them and
the Finance Committee, with the view of endeavouring to
arrange matters before the meeting of the Council. The
conference had accordingly been held on the morning of
that day, at which resolutions were passed.
The TOWN-CLERK read the resolutions passed at the
conference as follows :—" That. on the part of the Courts
of Law and St. George's Hall Committee, it being deter-
mined to make inquiry and report to the council on the
subjects mentioned in the resolution of the Finance Com-
mittee on the 9th instant, it is, upon the part of the Fi-
nance Committee, determined that, upon a reference by
the council of the consideration on financial grounds of
the further advance of £5OOO, that committee will recom-
mend that such advance be made, if the purpose for the
sum mentioned in the proceedings of the Courts of Law
and St. George's Hall Committee, before the council on
the 7th instant, be found by that committee, on inquiry,
to be desirable and proper, and the advance therefore ne-
cessary; it being also recommended by the Finance Com-
mittee to the council that the following appropriation
should be expressly made towards the repayment of the
xpense of the Courts of Law and St. George's Hall, and
the new main Bridewell,—namely, the present Sessions'-
house, Police-building in High-street, the present main
Bridewell, and the Saracen's Head Buildings; and that
the FinancepCommittee, as to the three first, and the Im-
provement Committee as to the last, should dispose of the
same as soon as the sale thereof can be effected with ad-
vantage."
Sir Tnomns BRA.NCICER. then moved a resolution to
the effect that the further advance of £5OOO be made, if
the purpose be found desirable and proper, and that the
Law Courts Committee do, with all reasonable despatch,
report to the council on the past, now proposed, and ex-
pected expenditure on the new Assize Courts.
Mr. LLOYD seconded the motion.

Mr. BIRKETT said he had been informed that a meeting
of the Philharmonic Society had been held on the prece-
ding day, to consider whether they should not build a hall
for themselves, upon the ground that the large St.
George's Hall was too large, and that the smaller one was
too small. A place to hold 2000 people was wanted. It
was his opinion that the expense of the new courts would
have the effect of putting a stop to all the public improve-
ments in the town for many years to come. It was a la-
mentable thing that the corporation, with their vast es-
tate, had no money for other useful purposes. The new
building was like a grave; it was never satisfied ; it would
swallow up the whole of their finances.
The motion was carried unanimously.
IsKANCKER AND CO.'S WAREHOUSES.

The MAYOR read a memorial from Messrs. James
Brancker and Co.. setting forth that the increasing com-
merce of the port had required an addition to the number
of warehouses, and that warehouses of improved con-
struction were needed to prevent extensive fires, which,
besides destroying vast amounts of property, had increased
the heavy charges of fire insurance ; that the attention of
the council had been directed to these facts, and that an
act of parliament had been obtained to regulate the erec-
tion of all future warehouses ; that the memorialists were
at present erecting warehouses in Harrington-street on
the site of their late sugar refinery, perfectly fire-proof,
and in accordance with the provisions of the act; but that
they were now informed by the proper authorities that
those warehouses would not be bonded, as they were some
fifty
yards beyond the custom-house regulations, those
regulations being 400 yards from the docks, and the ware-
houses in question being 450 yards. The memorialists
then referred to the liberal provisions of the Manchester
Bonding Bill on the subject, and concluded by claiming
the interference of the authorities of the town, to represent
the same to the proper quarter, in order to obtain the re-
moval of a restriction which, in its present shape, was so
highly objectionable.
The MAYOR said it certainly seemed a great grievance.
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER explained more fully the na-
ture of the memorial : said the sugar refinery, before it
was burned, was bonded—that three warehouses in imme-
diate contiguity were at present bonded, and yet, that the
customs refused to allow the warehouses in course of
erection on the old site to be bonded. His brother was of
opinion that an application from the council might induce
the customs to extend the distance prescribed by their
regulations.
The memorial was referred to the Finance Committee.

A memorial from Thomas Pickersgill, relative to a Sai-
lor's Home. and the impositions practised on mariners in
the port, was ordered to he on the. table.
The council adjourned at half-past twelve.

LOCAL AND PROVINCIAL NEWS.

Viscount Sandon and family with a party of friends
have arrived at Burnt Norton, near Chipping Campden,
where they intend staying a month or two.
His worship the Mayor, Thomas Sands, Esq., laid the
foundation stone of the new Wesleyan chapel and schools
at Wigan on Wednesday.
The Town Council of Manchester having declined the
construction of bonded warehouses, a joint-stock com-
pany, with a projected capital of £150,000, has been
established for the purpose.

The Southport regaeta is to come off on the 12th and
13th September. On the former day there will be a pub-
lic ball, and on the latter a variety of rural sports, races,
&c.

At the Lancaster Assizes, Mr. Palmer, the Town Clerk
of Preston, performed his one hundred and eleventh jour-
ney to Lancaster Assizes. Mr. Palmer completed his
71st year in February last. He was elected to the office
of coroner on the 12th November, 1799.

The Rev. H. Raikes, M.A., chancellor of the diocese,
and the Rev. C. A. Thurlow, M.A., Rector of the
Higher Rectory, Malpas, have been appointed Honorary
Canons of Chester Cathedral. The rev. the chancellor
" read himself in" on Sunday last.
THE SWINDLING CASE.—Mrs. Carmichael, who was
a few weeks ago committed for trial at the Chester As-
sizes, on a charge of stealing a ten pound note from Mr.
Hilliar, draper, Birkenhead, but against whom the
Grand Jury ignored the bill, has within the last few days
been committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions on
a charge of stealing a ten pound note from Mr. Shilling-
law.
The Lords of the Treasury have determined the com-
pensation to be paid to Mr. Rutter, the coroner of the
Manchester district of Lancashire, for loss of fees occa-
sioned by the appointment of a coroner of the borough
of Manchester under the charter of incorporation. The
town council of Manchester is to pay him an annuity of
£277, being upwards of 100 more than the corporation
offered ; and the annuity is to commence from April,
1839, the time when the borough coroner assumed his
office. _ _

LANCASTER ASSIZES.—The assizes for the Northern
Division of the county commenced at Lancaster this day
week. J. W. Patten, Esq., M.P., of Bank-hall, was the
foreman of the grand jury. The calendar was not re-

ST. EDWARD'S COLLEGE.—The annual meeting of the
secular clergy of the Lancashire district was held at St.
Edward's College, Everton, on the 30th of July. It is
remarkable that this meeting was perhaps the largest that
was ever held in the district, there being no less than
seventy-six priests who attended. The arrangements of
this new establishment gave infinite gratification to all ;
and the success which has hitherto attended it filled them
with the greatest delight. The studies were recommenced
on the Ist instant.—Tablet, Roman Catholic Paper.
POPULAR HEALTH.—The mean term of life diminishes
northwards in Great Britain. The highest in the South-
western counties is in the following order :—Sussex 55,
Hants, 53, Devon 56, Cornwall : the decrement in the
last case is caused by the shorter lives of miners. The
county of Lancaster has a mean of 36, the lowest county ;
in which Liverpool rates at 26. Human life in Devon is
on the average, therefore, twenty years longer than in
Lancaster and thirty longer than in Liverpool.

MATCH AT CRICKET.—ST. HELEN'S V. EDGE-HILL.
—On Thursday week a match was played between the
above-named clubs on the St. Helen's cricket-ground.
The game terminated, after a severe struggle, in favour of
Edge-hill, by seventeen runs. The playing of Cambridge,
Duckworth, Branch, and Greenstreet, on the Edge-hill
side, was very good. On the St. Helen's side, Lupton,
Burton, Ross, and Greenhalgh, were very effective. The
innings were—Edge-hill, Ist, 76, 2d. 46; St. Helen's, Ist
62, 2nd. 43, Edge-hill winning by seventeen runs.

PAVING AND SEWERAGE COMMISSIONERS.-At the
meeting on Thursday, the following gentlemen were pre-
sent :—Messrs. J. Holmes, (in the chair,) Whitby, Gay-
ton, Fletcher, Birkett, Hornby, Ackers, Wood, and J.
Lawrence. The Wood Paving Company tendered their
bill, and Mr. Cunningham was ordered to report next
week, as to the state of the work done by them, their con-
tract being to keep the pavement in repair for twelve
months.—Mr. Cunningham reported with regard to the
nuisance complained of last week by Mr. Barke, that he
had entered the branch sewer from the works of the Gas
Company, Dale-street, and produced samples of noxious
water from it, and also from the main sewer. Orders
were given to communicate with the Gas Company on the
subject.—The board determined that builders, in erecting
new houses, should set their houses back in order to ob-
tain areas for their cellars, or if they did not, they would
not be allowed to encroach upon the footway.—An appli-
cation from Mr. Whitty for a copy of the Nottingham re-
port was postponed till next week, it being stated that the
object of the Board, in obtaining the report, was partly
for information and partly defensive, against the system of
Mr. Oxley, which, it was proved, would not answer n
Liverpool.

Tar e COUNTY MAGI-sr ItA ev.—There are, at the present
time, 330 magistrates in the commission of the peace for
the county of Lancaster, viz. :-51 for the hundred of
Lonsdale, 19 for Amounderness, 19 for Leyland, 41 for
Blackburn, 86 for West Derby, and 114 for Salford. The
oldest magistrate in the commission is William Wilson
Carus Wilson, Esq., of Casterton Hall, who qualified
Oct. 8, 1799 ; the next being Lord Skelinersdale, who
first qualified Jan. 20, 1800 ; and the third in point of
seniority, Matthew Wilson, Esq., of Eshtonliall, the
date of whose qualification is July 20, 1808.
ANOTHER LARGE IRON STEAMER.—There iS now
building in the yard of Mr. Laird, North Birkenhead, a
first-class iron steamer, which will be the largest eve:
constructed after the Great Britain, now at Bristol. She
will be of 1,400 tons burden ; and Messrs. Forrester and
Co., of Liverpool are manufacturing the engines, two of
560 horses' power. This magnificent vessel has been
commenced upon the requisition of the Admiralty; but
the particular service she is intended for, is, at present,
a secret. She will be supplied with heavy guns, so as to
take her " own part" whenever it may be necessary.
THE NEW INSOLVENT ACT.—The act abolishing ins-
prisoment for debts under £2O, having become law on
Thursday last, the Town-clerk adjourned his court to the
Borough Gaol, for the purpose of hearing applications
for their discharge, under the provisions of the new act,
from any debtors confined there. The court was opened
with the usual forms in the governor's office, and twenty-
two of the debtors being in custody for debts under £2O,
exclusive of costs, and no detainer appearing against
them, they were, upon their several applications, ordered
to he discharged forthwith. The total amount of their
united debts, exclusive of costs, was £145 Bs. 11d. Lord
Brougham has sent circulars to the governors of the
various gaols, pointing out, for the information of the
debtors in their custody, the mode of procedure neces-
sary to procure the discharge from prison of debtors en-
titled to it under the provisions of the new act.
HEARTLESS RODDERY.—About eight years since, an
Irishman, named Ryan, emigrated to America, and, by
his industry arid frugality, succeeded in amassing a sum
of £2OO, with which he intended to return to his own
country and render himself comfortable for life. He ac
cordingly arrived in Liverpool a few days since, and, after
he had paid his passage and made his arrangements for
proceeding across the Irish Channel, he found himself
possessed of 172 sovereigns, which he tied up in a bag and
placed in his pocket. Unfortunately, he entered a public-
house, swallowed glass after glass of ardent spirits, until
he became wholly unconscious of what he was about, and,
on the following morning, found himself in a house of ill-
fame, stripped of every shilling he had in the world. The
wretched man is at present in a destitute condition, and
hitherto every effort to discover the thief or the money
has proved ineffectual.
INTERESTING TO LADIES.—rhe preservation of the
complexion from the burning pernicious influence of the
solar beam, was for ages a desideratum in science. Half
a century back ladies suffered most severely from the
effects produced by excessive heat. The rapid progress
of science has happily brought to light a discovery of the
highest importance to the female fashionable world. We
allude to ROWLAND'S celebrated KALYDOR, the auxiliary
friend, guardian, and protector of female beauty. In re-
moving every unsightly irregularity of the skin, whether
occasioned by illness, irritation of the surface from expo-
sure, either to cold winds, the sun, sea breezes, or other
accidental causes, the operation of the Kalydor is certain,
expeditious, and delightfully soothing and refreshing—
never failing to realize a healthy and radiant bloom.--
See advt.

COUNTY ACCOUNTS.—The Clerks of the Peace for this
county have just published the accounts for the county
for the last two years, in which we are glad to perceive
there has been a considerable reduction in the expenses,
and consequently in the amount levied upon the rate-
, pavers. From June, 1842, to June 1843, the total amount
levied for the various charges which come upon the county
rate was £97,528 Os Sd. ; in the year from June, 1843, to
1844, the amount levied was £76,982 16s 5d., being a
decrease of £20,615 4s 3. In almost every item of ex-
penditure there has been some diminution ; but the prin-
cipal decrease has been in the number of prosecutions, in
the charges of the several prisons, and in the maintenance
of the county constabulary. Many of the items of the
preceding year attending the police force were, of course,
extraordinary expenses incidental to the recently estab-
lished body.

INQUESTS.—On Tuesday. two inquests were held
before the borough coroner. The first was on the body
of Fanny Barns, a cook, 70 years of age, in the service
of Mr. Hughes, who resides at St. James's-terrace, op-
posite to the Mounti Cemetery. It appeared that she was
addicted to drinking, and that, on Monday week she was
found lying on the floor at the foot of the stairs bleeding
from the head and insensible. She was in liquor at the
time; and upon being taken to the Northern Hospital it
was found that the fall had produced a compound fracture
of the nasal bones. Inflamation of the membranes spee-
dily set in and caused her death on Sunday last. The
second inquest was held on the body of Mary Dickenson,
an old woman, also about 70 years of age, who, either fell
or threw herself out of her bedroom window in Dawson-
street, about five weeks ago, and thereby fractured her
legs and arms to such an extent that she died on Sunday
last.—On Saturday an inquest was held before the Borough
Coroner, on view of the body of Joseph Johnson, cook in
the ship Cheshire, at present lying in the Union Dock.
It appeared that he had accidentally slipped off the plank
into the water, and that, when taken out, in the course of
a quarter of an hour after, and carried to the Northern
Hospital, life was extinct. Verdicts accordant with the
evidence were returned in all the above cases.

Two WAYS OF TELLING A STORY.—The origin of
" Nine tailors making a man," is said to be as follows :
" A poor beggar stopped near a tailor's shop, where nine
men were at work, and craved charity ; each contributed
his mite, and presented the beggar with the total. Thy
beggar went upon his knees, declaring they had made a
man of him.

For a century past, Russia has maintained a convent
and school at Pekin, where her interpreters receive their
education in Chinese and Mantchou. Every ten years
the members of these two establishments are changed,
and fresh monks and pupils are sent from St. Petersburg.
During their stay at Pekin the Russians are free to see all
things and visit all places, without awakening the restless
jealousy of the government.—Chinese Olio.
Tu RKMAN WOMEN.--I was much struck with the ele-
gance of their shapes and the regularity of their features.
Their complexion is as fair as that of European women
as they advance in age the sun browns them a little. As
to their morals, chastity becomes a necessary virtue, when
even a kiss is punished with death by the father or bro-

of the extreme severity of the Turkman in this respect,
but one may suffice. Three brothers, riding through an
insulated valley, met their sister receiving the innocent
caresses of her lover. By a common impulse they all.
three discharged their fire-arms upon her, and left their
fallen victim on the ground, while the lover escaped un-
hurt. My host, Mohammed Ali, upon being informed. of
the murder, sent his servant to bring the body to his tent,
that the jackels might not devour it ; and the women
were undressing and washing the body to commit it to
the grave, when a slight breathing convinced them that
the vital spark was not yet extinguished.; in abort, the
girl recovered. She was no sooner out of immediate dan-
ger, than

finished, than the brothers rose, crying out. " If she was
dead you would not have asked for her; you would have
taken the body without our permission." Then, seizing
their arms, they were hurrying out of the tent in pursuit
of the still living victim ; but Ali's son opposed their bru-
tal intentions with all the weight of his father's authority.
and his own reputation for courage ; he swore he would
kill the first who should leave the tent ; told them that
they had sufficiently revenged the injury they had re-
ceived ; and that if their sister was not dead, it was the
visible protection of the prophet that had saved her ; and
thus he at last persuaded them to grant his request. The
girl was nursed for three months in Ali's family, and was
married after her recovery to the young man who had
caused her misfortune.— The Library of Travel.
