lence in the several departments of art, science, industry,

able extent, perhaps, to there being no second price for
the admission of parties who have but a short time in the
evening to devote to its inspection, and who are conse-
quently precluded, excepting by frequent visits, from ex-
amining it in detail. We may say, however, that those
who have been enabled to obtain a sight of the whole
have been highly gratified, the general impression
amongst them being, " We have seen far more than the
worth of our money, and will come again on another
day."

We have given in another column a brief report
of a meeting of the Commercial Association, held
on Saturday last, at which a memorial to the Mayor
was agreed upon, requesting him to convene a pub-
lic meeting for the purpose of petitioning Parliament
for the insertion, in the proposed Fire Prevention
Bill, of a clause releasing the Dock Committee from
the restrictions imposed upon them in the last dock
act with respect to the power of erecting additional
warehouses upon the dock quays. We are enabled
to announce, upon authority on which we place every
confidence, that his worship has declined to comply
with the prayer of the memorialists. In the pro-
priety of this step we quite agree. The provision,
so obnoxious to the gentlemen who, for, the past
week or two, have been agitating this question, was
one of compromise, deliberately adopted by the
Council and sanctioned by the Legislature. It was
a compact, not entered into with the warehouse
owners alone, but with with the people of Liverpool,
who felt as strongly upon the subject of dock ware-
houses as the body in question. As such, it ought
not to be disturbed, for the allaying of a merely
temporary outcry, except upon much stronger
grounds than any which we have ever heard urged
in behalf such a course.

THE EDUCATION OF THE CHILDREN IN OUR WORK-
HOUSE.—We commented last week upon the misrepre-
sentations contained in a report of the visitors of our
workhouse, with respect to the education afforded there
to the pauper children of the town. With a view to probe
the truth of the statements contained in that document,
circulars were sent out to a considerable number of the
select vestrymen, appointing an examination of the chil-
dren to take place on Friday last. Messrs. Urquhart and
Molyneux, the authors of the published report, were duly
summoned to attend. On Friday, accordingly, the ex-
amination—a perfectly extempore one—took place in the
presence of about ten gentlemen of the vestry. The
scholars were examined, and some of the visitors thought
very strictly, in their reading, writing, arithmetic, and
their knowledge of the Scriptures ; and the result was to
the perfect satisfaction ,r ---nhers of the vestry pre
sent. In every'

ington and his assistants, the " two ignorant paupers."
As a matter of course, Messrs. Urquhart and Molvneux
were not present to witness the practical evidence afforded
of the incorrectness of the random imputations conveyed
in the visitors' report !

DELIGHTFUL TRIP.—On Wednesday last, the boys
belonging to the Liverpool Blue Coat School enjoyed a
rich treat through the liberality of J. S. Jackson, Esq.,
of Birkenhead. The Woodside Ferry steamer Nun took
the juvenile party on board at Gent,p'.

aut
o'clock, a.m., and a party of ladies andrier gentlemouennine ac-
companied them. The party, on landing near tioylake,
proceeded through that villa,,

...—E-,, witu toe band playing
and colours flying-, to the residence of J. S. Jackson,
Esq. Here the boys were regaled with buns and half a
pint of ale each, and whilst they enjoyed themselves with
a good run over the race-course, the remainder of the
party partook of a cold collation in a tent erected on the
lawn. The health of Mr. J. S. Jackson, Mr. William
Jackson, Prosperity to the Blue Coat School, and thanks
to Mr. Foster, the excellent conductor of the institution,
Mr. Swainson, treasurer of the school, were successively
given. Mr. Foster and Mr. Swainson, in returning
thanks, expressed their gratitude for the kindness which
had that day been shown to the children by Mr. Jackson.
Wm. Jackson, Esq., announced that it was his intention,
early in the month of August next, to treat the school
(by special train, from Birkenhead) with a visit to the
" aynciente citie " of Chester, and Eaton Hall, the seat
of the Marquis of Westminster.
CRICKET MATCH.—The match betwen the Bootle and
Edge-hill cricket clubs came off by appointment on the
ground of the latter, in Hall-lane, on Wednesday after-
noon. Notwithstanding the appearances of rain, which
showed themselves during the day, the cricketers seemed
determined not to be disappointed of their game. Four
o'clock had been fixed upon as the time for pitching
wickets, but it was nearly five before the whole number
(icould be mustered. At this time numbers of persons,
ncluding about twenty ladies,) anxious to witness the
contest, which promised to be a " tough one," had ar rived
an the field, and found accommodation in and around the
tent which had been erected for the occasion. There
was also a considerable number of spectators from Hall-
lane and other places contiguous to the field. The Bootle
club went in first and scored a total of 40 runs. The
Edge-hill immediately followed up and notched 39. In
the second innings the Bootle made a score of 50, and the
Edge-hill 53, leaving a majority in favour of the latter of
2. The Bootle club displayed some very scientific bowl-
ing, which, had it not been well met by two or three able
batsmen on the opposition side, would have told fearlessly
againstains th
ee score of the latter. Towards the latter part
n it rained violentl, which, however, did
not cool the courage of the cricketyers, or at all events did
not extinguish it. It however served materially to detract
from the pleasure of the game, and to render the play on
both sides less " sure" than it otherwise mig ate been.

We understand the return match is to take
place
some two or three weeks hence. at Bootle
GREAT DIMINUTION IN THE IMPORTATION OP IRISH
LABOURERS.—At this season, in former years, we have
always been accustomed to see our dock quays, our streets,
and the highways leading hence into the surrounding agri-
cultural districts strewed with immigrant Irish, seeking
employment at the haymaking and harvest. In the pre-
sent year, however, the diminution in the numbers of
these visitants is strikingly perceptible to the most ordinary
observer. From an enquiry which we have made from '
one of our principal steam-boat companies, we find that
whereas, last year, they had, from Dublin alone, an
average, up to this period, of 2000 deck passengers, they
have had, in the present year, only 1200,—thus showing
a falling off of 800 weekly, or 40 per cent. There is little
doubt that the bulk of these 800 passengers is composed
of the class who come here to the harvesting. Two reasons
are assignable for this circumstance. In the first place,
the success of the parties who visited us last year was very
bad, owing to the depressed condition of
our own manu-
facturing population driving them to undertake field labour.
The chief inducement, however, for the Irish labourers
absenting themselves appears to be the agitation going on
in that country for the repeal of the union, and the absurd
expectations held out by the agitators to the deluded
peasantry, that their condition is about to be permanently
bettered by the success of that movement. It is dreadful
to reflect what must be the condition, during the ensuing
winter, of the thousands of wretched creatures who, for
mt hseeilr,
e s littlea nd hold-t h
