six o'clock, on Friday morning, a

enhale-street, jumped through one of the bedroom win-
dows into the street, and injured his head so much that

to lodge at the house on Wednesday evening, and com-
plained of being unwell. A man named Lynch. who was

passing ny at tne time, narrowly escaped being killed, for
Butler struck him on the shoulder in the course of the fall.
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 gon 3 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.
IRISH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, ISLINGTON.—Sun-
day week, being the anniversary of the opening of this
place of worship, sermons were preached by the Rev. Dr.
Henry, of Belfast, and the Rev. Dr. Raffles, when col-
lections were made, amounting to about £65, to liquidate
the debt on the building. A sale of' ladies' work, for the
benefit of the poor, took place on Tuesday, when upwards
of £36 were realized. In the evening a tea party was
held in the school-room. On Wednesday evening, the
children connected with the Sunday school held a convi-
vial meeting in the same place.
IRISH PAUPERISM. —On several days during last week,
the number of Irish offenders brought bethre Mr. Rushton
exceeded the average of forty per day ! The borough gaol
contains at this moment more than one thousand prisoners,
(five hundred being about the usual average,) and the
workhouse is so full that many shivering vagrants have
been denied admittance. But for the night asylum, deaths
must have occurred in the streets from sheer starvation.
On Thursday a poor woman, just out of fever, was brought
and laid at the door of the bridewell for shelter. The
paupers refuse to be sent back to their own country, and
many are committing offences against the law, in order,
avowedly, that they may be put into gaol.
PRESERVATION OF PAINTINGS.—At the meeting on
Monday of the Liverpool Polytechnic Society, in the
course of an interesting conversation on the qualities of
gutta percha, Mr. C. J. Smith threw out what we consider
an excellent suggestion in regard to the preservation of
valuable paintings. Paintings, it is but too well known,
are frequently destroyed or injured by the dampness of
the wall against which they may be hung; and the world
has often had occasion to deplore the perishing influences
to which the noblest works of art have been exposed. Mr.
Smith suggested that if valuable pictures were backed
with a thin coating of gutta percha, it would enable them,
in a great measure, to resist the influence of the atmos-
phere, and render them all but imperishable.
AN EXAMPLE OF CHRISTIAN CHARITY.—We have
learned from a gentleman of Wallasey that Mr. William
Peers, manager of the powder magazines, at New Brigh-
ton, distributed gratuitously, at the commencement of the
severe weather, 18 tons of coal to the necessitous in the
township of Liscard, Seacornbe, and Wallasey, and that
he recently again gave 60 tons more in the same localities;
and with a consideration scarcely less generous than that
which dictated the gift, sent them free of expense to the
habitations of the deservinc, poor. No comment is re-
quired on the act of kindness; but, as the labouring
classes in the places named have, during the winter, suf-
fered, and are many of them yet suffering, great privations
from want of work, we may express a hope that the noble
example will induce some of the wealthy residents to ex-
tend their charitable aid to the needy in other ways, until
the opening of spring permits the full resumption of field
and garden operations.
FRENCH AND DRAWING.—From testimony before us,
it appears that the results aimed at in the mode of teaching
adopted by Mons. Chapuis, whose advertisement appears
in another column, are,—to give to the pupil a pure and
correct pronunciation, which can be acquired by the ear
only. To acquaint him with the French phraseology, so
very different from the English. To initiate him in the
language by constant inversions of French sentences,
having always a complete sense. To give him a perfect
knowledge of the rules of the grammar, which are con-
stantly explained and used in practical exercises. To faci-
litate to the pupil the way of explaining himself correctly
in French, as the leSsons may be considered as-matter For
To enable him to write correctly in French,
both by the knowledge he has acquired of the language,
and by the spelling of the spoken words he has written.
With respect to Mons. Chapuis's qualifications as a draw-
ing-master, he has established a reputation amongst us
justifying all our anticipations.—Mercury, _ _

DEATH BY THE FALLING IN OF A SEWER.—On Satur-
day, an inquest was held before the borough coroner on
view of the body of Henry Edwards, aged 27. It ap-
peared that deceased was employed on Friday, with others,
in making a sewer in. Lower Harrington-street, Toxteth-
park. The sewer, or rather excavation for the sewer, was
about twelve feet deep, and five in width. Deceased was
employed in the bottom. The sides of the cutting were
composed of loose soil, and planked up to prevent it from
falling in. While the men were working a quantity of
the soil at one side gave way and fell upon deceased. He
was extricated. as, soon as possible, but was found to be
quite dead. There was a large cut on the left side of his
head. As it appeared from the evidence of the contrac-
tor, the ...orporation,, and several of the men employed,
that planks had been fixed at the sides, and shores to sup-
port them which they considered sufficient, the jury re-
turned a verdict of " accidental death." Several other
labourers were injured by the fall of the soil, &c., one of
them so severely that he was sent to the hospital.

TIMBER TRADE.—The principal attraction last week
was the very large auction sale which occupied the
trade three days. The company was exceedingly numerous
and highly respectable ; the amount of business transacted
was more than was expected, and prices were a shade
higher than for the last few weeks. 260 logs of Quebec
yellow pine timber were sold at 144-d. per foot ; 23,000
feet middling quality at 13111. to 13id. per foot, and 5000
feet at Ind. per foot; 21,500 feet Quebec red nine at
from 194 d. to 21d. 'per foot; 18,800 St. John and Mira-
michi spruce deals at from 2d. 3-16 to 24-d. per foot, of 2
inches ; 7000 Miramichi yellow deals at from 2 3 16ths to
24d. per foot, of 2 inches. The sales of mahogany have
been very- extensive, and consist of 548 logs Honduias
mahogany at from 34d. to 10d. per foot; 3581 logs and
curls Cuba and St. Domingo mahogany at from 4d. to
4s. 4d. per-foot; 600 logs Cuba mahogany at from sd. to
Bs. 3d. per foot; 120 planks Rio rosewood at from £l4 5s
to £lB ss. per ton ; 1027 planks Bahia rosewood at from
£5 15s. to Z/1 15s. per ton.
PRESCRIBING DRUGGISTS.—An inquest WaS held on
Saturday, before the borough coroner, on view of the
body of John Davies. aged 42. Since Christmas, de-
ceased had complained of pain in the bowels, and it ap-
peared he had gone twice since his illness to Mr.
Thompson's, druggist, in Stanhope-street, who gave him
on the first occasion two pennyworth of tincture of
rhubarb, mixed with fifteen drops of laudanum. This
he drank off in the shop. On the second occasion he
gave him the same quantity of rhubarb, with double the
stated quantity of laudanum. Mr. John Gilmour, sur-
geon, said he had been called on to visit deceased, and
found him labouring under anasarcis and bronchitis. On
a post mortem examination, he found extensive disease of
the viscera, which had caused death. He considered the
quantity of laudanum taken was improper under the dis-
eases disclosed by the examination, and that it might
have accelerated death, but he could not take it upon
himself to say that it did. The jury returned a verdict of
" natural death." The coroner, before dismissing Mr.
Thompson, who in stating the facts affecting him as a
witness, said that druggists had no business to prescribe
medicines, or recommend people to take them without a
recipe from a practitioner. He added that he differed
from the jury in their verdict, and thanked Mr. Gilmour
for his attendance, as. he considered the case one proper
for investigation.
OPENING DINNER.—On Thursday evening last, Mr.
Mullen, landlord of the new hotel, the Wellington, at
Liscard village—recently licensed—entertained his friends
by a dinner given, in celebration of his having commenced
business on an extended scale in that handsome and com-
modious establishment, and in grateful acknowledgment
of past favours. Nearly the whole of the invited guests
attended on the occasion, so that the large club-room was
insufficient to accommodate the whole, during the repast,
and a considerable number were served in other apart-
ments. Upwards of seventy, in all, were present, in-
cluding several professional gentlemen, and many of the
most respectable tradesmen of the vicinity. The enter-
tainment comprised substantial joints and delicacies, the
whole of which did honour to the cuisine, and were done
ample justice to by all present. On the cloth being with-
drawn, a chairman was appointed for the convivial portion
of the evening, and the loyal toasts were followed by
others appropriate to the occasion, each introduced in a
manner that appeared to be highly satisfactory. The
healths of Mr., Mrs., and Miss Mullen were respectively
introduced in deserved terms of commendation, and drunk
amidst deafening applause. Among the toasts that suc-
ceeded were,--" Increased prosperity to the inhabitants of
the parish of Wallasey ;" " The agriculturists and gar-
deners, and may they not be re-visited by the potato rot;
" The proprietor of the hotel, Mr. W. Strong, and long
may he and his tenant remain on those amicable terms
advantageous to both ;" " The town and trade of Liver-
pool," coupled with a wish that those in the management
of the docks on the Lancashire and Cheshire shores may
soon shake hands, so that the " good old town," and the
new town of Birkenhead may ere long together constitute
the port of the Mersey. Three young men who were guests
volunteered a number of glees, which were sung with much
taste and effect. The conviviality was kept up for several,
hours, and the guests departed highly gratified, and ex-
pressed their best wishes for the increased prosperity of
the Wellington,

MELANCHOLY SUICiDE AT HIGHER TRANMERE.-011
Thursday, a young man named Thomas Dolphin Weaver
committed suicide, at Higher Tranmere, Cheshire. De-
ceased was respectably connected in London. The body
was discovered on the forenoon of Thursday, behind the
residence of H. B. Walker, Esq., Yoke-of-Egg-lane.
In the right hand a pocket-pistol, quite new, was still
grasped. In his pockets were found powder, several bul-
lets and percussion caps, half-a-crown, sixpence, a penny-
piece, and a letter addressed to Mr. Warry, druggist,
Hamilton-street, Birkenhead, with whom the deceased
had been on terms of intimacy, and who had assisted him
in various ways. In the letter the deceased expressed his
obligations to Mr. Warry for past kindnesses, and added
that an additional obligation would be conferred upon him
if he would pay two or three small accounts, the money
for which would be found in the looking-glass drawer at

his lodgings. The deceased visited Mr. Warry on Wed-
nesday evening, and remained at his house till eleven
o'clock. He then appeared in excellent spirits. The let-
ter was dated Wednesday, and it is supposed he had writ-
ten it after reaching home. The body was removed to'
the Queen's Arms, Lower Tranmere, to await the inquest.
The deceased was staying with Mr. Jackson, Oliver-
street, Birkenhead, and usually crossed to Liverpool at
nine in the morning ; but on Thursday morning he said
there was no hurry. He left the house soon after, and

DOCK COMMITTEE,—THURSDAY.—There were present
the Chairman, Mr. Bramley-Moore, and sixteen other
members.—A model of Mr. Talbot's improved plan for
the construction of graving docks was submitted. Mr.
Talbot suggests the dividing of each graving dock by
means of sliding gates, so that any vessel may be shut up
without interfering with the other vessels in the dock, the
main object being to do away with the masonry requisite
for the erection of gates of the usual form, by which one
or two of the north docks are at present divided. The
surveyor, in his report on the subject, said he had no
doubt the scheme would be very desirable if it could be
carried into execution, but the plans were not sufficiently
perfect to enable a correct opinion to be formed. He
(Mr. Hartley) felt inclined to think that the cost would
exceed that incurred by the present plan. The matter
was referred back to the Sub-committee of Works.—The
Sub-coimraittee produced the return relative to the Albert
Dock Warehouses, ordered last week. It appeared that
the quays were roughly valued at £112,000, and the ware-,
houses at £359,000. A statement of the accounts for the
three months ending 24th January was submitted, and is.
noticed in an article in our present number.—There was
no other public business of importance.
BIRKENHEAD DOCK COMMISSTONERS.-At the usual
monthly meeting, on Wednesday, Mr. Bryans explained,
lest it should be misund •

.erstood in' Liverpool and else-
.iead Commissioners were not pro-
, , of the bill emanating from Birken-
head, which proposed to interfere with the Liverpool dock
and town dues.—Mr. Hicklin said that the Finance Com-
mittee should take some immediate steps-for the sale of
the Plant, or to devise some other means for raising money
to meet the pressing demands which were made on the
commissioners.—The Chairman then read a letter from
William Laird, Esq., resigning his office as. one of the
Dock Commissioners, in consequence of his other duties
at the Birkenhead and Chester Railway preventing him
from attending to his duties as a commissioner ; after
which, the Chairman read a letter from Messrs.•Mallaby
and Townsend, on the part of the North and South-Wales
Bank, requesting payment of the balance which was. due
to them, and stating that, in event of the balance.not
being paid before Saturday, they were instructed to take
legal proceedings against the commissioners, for the' re-
covery of the same.—Referred.

BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS.—At the usual monthly
meeting, on Tuesday, the report of the Finance Com-
mittee was read. It recommended that Mr. Wilcox,
be appointed general superintendent of the finances of
the township ; that his salary be £250 per annum, and-
that he be required to furnish security to the extent of
£lOOO. The minutes also contained a letter from Mr.
Townsend, solicitor to the Park-land Company, stating,
that owing to the depression of the times, he was afraid
that the company would have to be broken up, and wishing
the committee to at least modify the terms of the pur-
chase of the land. The committee resolved that the com-
mittee should have until the 21st instant to elect whether
they will abandon thepurchase or not. The receipts at
the ferry in January were £1207, whilst in that month of
1847 they were £lsl4.—Mr. Thomson asked what had
become of the bill for imposing a tax on property, to pay
the interest on the bonded debt ? The Chairman said he
had no information on the subject. Mr. Thomson said
he supposed the matter would end,•as he had anticipated,
as a flash in the pan.

SELECT VESTRY.-At the meeting, on Tuesday, a letter
was read from Mr. Lamonby, the relieving-officer. who
was recently dismissed from St. Anne-street district,
requesting to be furnished with a• copy of the charges
which had been preferred against him : it was resolved
that the same be given to him, The Vestry Clerk, how-
ever, observed that as the matterwas now before the
Poor-law Commissioner, the vestry had nothing more to
do with it ; and, therefore, if Mr. Laraonby was desirous
of having his case re-investigated, the Poor-law Commii-
sioner was the proper party to apply to for that purpose.
—lt was resolved to send the Town-Council another copy
of the Vestry's resolution as to the Dock Bill, as expres-
sive of the Vestry's confirmed opinion on the subject.—
A desultory conversation took place on the subject of
increased accommodation for the paupers, both the gaol
and workhouse being full ; after which, the matter was
referred to the Workhouse Committee.—lt was reported
that sickness is decreasing in the workhouse.—The Relief
Committee reported that the sum expended by the parish.
in bread and soup, from the 24th to the 29th of January,
was £l2B 10s. 11d. ; the out-door relief; during the same
period, was £Bl4 9s. 5d., of which £590 9s. 9d. was given,
in " kind," and £223 12s. Bd. in money, which, when
compared with the corresponding week_ of last year,
shewed a decrease in the total expenditure-of £l6B-3s. 2d.
—ln consequence of the election of Mr. Molyneux as a.
vestryman, at the special meeting, en Monday.week, being.
illegal, another election took place, when that gentleman,.
Mr. Denton, and Mr. Morris were proposed, and Mr. Mo
lyneux was again elected. He had a majority of one over
Mr, Morris.—The next business was the appointment of
two surveyors. There were eleven candidates, but only
six were proposed and seconded. The voting was as fol-
lows :--For Mr. Culshaw, 13'; • Mr. Boult, 8; Mr. Woods,.
2 ; Mr. Edwards, 3 ; Mr. Hay, 1; Mr. Picton, 17. Mr.
Culshaw and Mr. Picton were accordingly declared duly
elected.
