In all
At the adjourned meeting on Saturday, Mr. J. Holmes
and Mr. Turner presided.
On the case of Mr. Timothy, of Lime-street, being
called on, Mr. HOLMES said : " I would advise you, Mr.
Timothy, to be more careful : you have had a very nar-
row escape."—Mr. Timothy : " I have kept the house
for sixteen years, and there has been no complaint against
it; but I believe I am no favourite with the police."
The case of Mr. John White, Copperas-hill, was called
on. Mr. HoLuEs said : " There has been a great deal
of discussion relative to the propriety of granting your
license. The magistrates, however, have determined that
they will give you another trial. Many of the magistrates
think it very wrong in granting your license ;. but they are
determined to grant it for one year longer."
The application for a license for Martha Watson was
refused, the premises not being considered suitable.
MR. SNOWBALL appeared for Mr. R. Gibson for a
license in Bond-street, which he wished to be made in the
name of Mr. Green.—M R. ELLIS said it was refused on
account of the former bad conduct of the tenant.--M R.
SNOWBALL complained that his client had no opportunity
of explaining, and that he considered the decision being
made in private, and not in open court, was illegal.—Mß.
HOLMES : " If we act illegally, we act under advice."
—Mn. Ews : " You have the advice of Mr. Rushton."
An application was made for the renewal of a license
which had been taken away in consequence of the bad
conduct of the tenant. Mr. TURNER said it must not be
supposed that by getting another tenant, the license would
be renewed. Not granted.

A new organ was opened at Newchurch, near Leigh,
on Sunday last.
Public baths are to be erected at Bolton.
The Steam Tug Company of this town are having con-
structed an iron tug steamer, on the screw principle of
propulsion.
The Bishop of Chester, with a view to the greater effi.
ciency of the church, intends shortly to appoint an arch-
deacon of Lancaster.
The mason body of Liscard met on Friday night, and
participated in a supper and ball, when about fifty sat
down to excellent cheer, provided by the landlady of the
Queen's Arms. The most joyous feeling prevailed.
THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE ALBERT DOCK WARE-
HOUSES.—Mr. John Cowan, a native of Liverpool, bas
been appointed Superintendent of the Albert Dock Ware-
houses, at a salary of £5OO a- year.
There was an inquiry, on Tuesday, at the West Derby
Workhouse, into charges preferred by Mr. Thomas Smith
against Mr. Dolling. The accusation fell to the ground,
and Mr. Smith has apologized.
EXCISE INFORMATIONS.—On Tuesday, John Clark,
tobacconist, if Tithebarn.street, was fined £lOO for stow-
ing tobacco in an unregistered room.—On Wednesday, P-
Purcell and P. M'Donald, for smuggling spirits, in Ros.
coe-street, were fined £lOO, or three monthsimprisonment.
SUICIDE.—On Friday week, Mr. Joseph Bushell, son
of Mr. Bushell, farmer, of Liscard, put a period to his
existence by hanging himself in a hayloft. The deceased
had formerly been an inmate of the Liverpool Lunatic
Asylum.
STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH SOUTH WALES.—The
new iron, screw steamer Tintern, which was lately launch-
ed at Bristol, where she was designed and built by Mr.
Guppy is intended to commence plying between the Mer-
sey and Newport, calling at Teuby, in the early part of
the ensuing year.
ARRIVAL OF SISTERS OF MERCY.—Six of the sisters
ofthis order arrived in this town from Kingstown
on Tuesday last. under the superintendence of the Right
Rev. Dr. Brady, Bishop of Western Australia, en route
for the scene of his lordship's mission. They afterwards
proceeded on to London, where they will embark in a
few days.
AMERICAN STEAM-SHIPS ExPECTED.—It is said that
the Marniora steam-ship, built in America, which is pro-
pelled by the screw, was to leave New York on the Ist
instant, and may be expected in a day or two. The screw-
auxihai y packet-ship, Massachuseats, should she have
left New York on the appointed day, will be due about
Monday nr I.
CONVERSION FROM POPERY.—Miss J. A. Pinnington,
of Upper Bedford-street, Toxteth-park, has renounced
Romanian), and become a convert to the Protestant
Church. She received the Sacrament of the Church of
England on Sunday, the 13th of July, from, we believe,
the hands of the Rev. J. Fenton, and it is lamentable to
say, is suffering not a little persecution from her previous
acquaintances. from her adoption of the Protestant faith.
New PLAN OF GRAVING Docgs.—We have received
a plan of Graving Docks, forming radii of a circle, with a
floating basin in the centre, which we think very ingenious
as affording great accommodation and ea-y access within
a comparatively small space. It is by our townsman,
Mr. Robert Talbot, shipbuilder. and we regret that we
have not room for its insertion this week,--Out we shall
give a diagram and description in our next.
THE APPROACHING BOAT•RACE : LIVERPOOL V.
NEWCASTLE.—Harry Clasper, the lion of the northern
boat-racing world, leaves the Tyne to-day for this
town, in order to prepare himself on the Mersey for his
forthcoming struggle with Carroll. The boat in which
he intends to row has been completed, and is considered
a most beautiful model. It is made of mahogany, is
French polished, measures 28 feet 4 inches in length, and
weighs 421 b.
TARVIN HALL .SCHOOL.—Yesterday (Tuesday last,)
the pupils of Tarvin Hall School, accompanied by their
respected Principal, Mr. Brindley, and a numerous party
of friends, paid a visit to Parkgate, to enjoy their half
yearly pic-nic excursion. A Band was in attendance, and
all was joyous hilarity. The party was conveyed from
Chester in two coaches, each drawn by four horses, and
eleven carriages, each drawn by a pair of horses. The
arrival at the above pleasant watering place on the estuary
of the Dee caused no small sensation.—Chester Courant.
DARING OUTRAGE.—We regret to say that Mr. John
Bibby, of the firm of Messrs. Bibby and Sons, iron-mer-
chant, was attacked near the top of Roscommon-street,
on Wednesday evening, by two men, who came and struck
him from behind. He was at the time passing from his
house, in Shaw-street, to that of a friend's, in Netherfield-
road. The effects of the blow stunned him for a moment
or two, but he succeeded in recovering himself, and faced
the fellows, who then ran across the fields in the direction
of Scotland-road. His hat was cut through, and he re-
ceived a gash on the back of the head, whichconfined him
to his house for some days. There can be little doubt
that the object of the depredators was robbery, but they
were disappointed.
SENT FOR TRIAL TO THE SESSIONS BY MR. RUSH-
Tors.—On Thursday, Esther Martin, for stealing a watch
from Reuben Lowe. shiosvriglit, Park —Same nay, Ca-
therine Bell, wife of a labourer, charged with having cut
off with a razor, the nose of a woman named Mary Jones,
livii:g in Pickop-street. The complainant's face presented
a horrible appearance. The prisoner, it appeared. sus-
pected that Jones had carried on an illicit intercourse with
ber (the prisoner's) husband.—On Wednesday, a young
elan named M`Donagh, charged with embezzling various
sums of money from his employer, B. Hymn and Co.,
tailors and drapers, Lord-street. The money was received
from porters, who took parcels of goods to customers.
He had received seven amounts, varying from £1 4s. to
£3 3s.

BANK of LIVERPOOL.—The fourteenth general meet-
ing of the proprietors and shareholders took place on Fri-
day, at the Bank, (S. Sandbach, Esq., in the chair,) to
receive the statement of transactions from Ist July, 1844,
to 30th June, 1845, and to elect three new directors in
place of those retiring by rotation. The report showed
that the transactions during the last year had been upon
an extended scale, and the result had been extremely sa-
tisfactory. No additional shares had been granted, and
the surplus in all was £156,612. Ilt was also thought that
the business might still be progressively and safely in-
creased. The report was adopted. Messrs. Adam Hodg-
son, George Holt, and Charles Turner were appointed
directors, in the place of Messrs. W. Brown, J. W. Ca-
ter, and Cha=. Inman, the three retiring directors. The
usual thanks were voted, and the meeting separated.
HIGHWAY BOARD.—On Thursday there were eleven
members present. A letter was read from the Rev. Mr.
Gardner, as chairman of a meeting of inhabitants of the
township of Edge-hill, held on the 25th of last month at
the Old Swan Inn, complaining that in consequence of
the Commissioners' Water-works at Tuebrook, and the
great exhauster which these proved of the supply to the
district, all the wells and springs were either empty or
very much decreased in the quantity of water derived
from them, and desiring that the Commissioners would
take some steps to obviate, or to alleviate, so great an
injury. For this purpose a committee had been appoint-
e l by the meeting to confer with the Commissioners.
Great difference of opinion was expressed at the meeting
as to whether the works at Tuebrook had dried up the
wells, and it was decided a conference should be granted
on the subject. On the motion of Mr. Tinne, seconded
by Mr. John Leyland, a gratuity of thirty guineas was
voted to Mr. Ashlin, and fifteen guineas each to Messrs.
Cunningham and Davies, for their extra labour in com-
piling the index of sewers. - After the discussion of a few
• —. ilmsq e.norters withdraw.
