Captain Hannah, which sailed on the
1853, from the Mersey, with a valuable
went ashore on the Ist November last, near Lurby Point,
Isle of Man, and was left by her crew the same night,
with seven feet of water in her hold, and expected to be-

come a total wreck. She r

sent year, vrhenshe w

tion until

the 13th of March in the pi
off on the spring tide, and w

ground near low-water mark, within a few yards of her
former position, and filled with the tide. She continued
aground until the present high tides, and a few days since
was eot off. and arrived safely at Ardrnagan. erittlit

is due to Captain Bissett for his untiring energy to effect
this object, as it was almost entirely owing to his nautical
skill and perseverance that the Lucy was floated off.
FLOWER SHOW.—The third exhibition of the se.-
the Liverpool Floral and Horticultural Society
on Thursday, at the Botanic Gardens, Edge-lane, un
the patronage of the Mayor, John Buck Lloyd, Esq. '1

ason of

exhibitors were numerous, and on the whole the show was
quite equal, if not superior, to any of its predecessors.
The day was fine, and the spacious marquee, which had
been erected and conveniently laid out for the purpose,
was speedily • • ,

uy Lue
-u3 of he
town and district. Indeed, the attendance was so lartge
that a great number had to walk about the gardens until
others left the marquee before they could gain admission,
TIIE CALEDONIAN RAILWAT.—A meeting of share-
holders residing in this district was held on Friday, at the
Clarendon-rooms. Mr. Fenton presided, and entered into
a detailed statement of some opposition which was in
existence by two members of the board of directors, who,
having some project of their own relating to the line, but
which was yet unknown to the company, were opposing
the other eight members of the board. A Mr. Duncan,
of Aberdeen, who had formerly been chairman of "the
board, had also offered opposition, and was desimus, it was
stated, of becoming chairman again, but as much incon-
venience had attended his occupation of the post pre-
viously, it was not deemed desirable he should be
permitted to form a member of the board, and, accordingly,
a resolution was passed expressive of confidence in the
present members.

V./12111,11 V2FENDER3. —At the
London and North-western Station, Birmingham, a few
evenings ago, three sharp, hardy-looking, ready-tongued
youths, dressed in corduroy jackets and trousers, laced
boots, &c., not unlike healthy farmers' lads, were seated•
on one of the benches in lively and earnest conversation
with a gentleman of Birmingham, who had previously
regaled them with a substantial repast in the second-class
refreshment room. Thence they proceeded, accompanied
by their friend, to the Liverpool platform, and, much to
the surprise of the spectators, entered a first-class carriage
of the express train. The lads appeared highly delighted
with their luxurious position, and caused much amuse-
ment to the bystanders by their observations and gestures.
Upon inquiry, after the train had left, it was ascertained
that the three youths were from the Reformatory Insti-
tution, at Kingswood, near Bristol, in which Miss Car-
penter takes so deep an interest, and that they.. were on
their way to the United States, where suitable employ-
ment awaits them. The gentleman who attended them
at the Birmingham station had been requested to see to
their arrival and departure, and similar care was taken
with respect to their reception and departure from Liver-
pool. The boys appeared to be in the highest spirits, and
had two boxes, besides bundles, containing wearing ap-
parel, books, &c.

HEALTH OF THE TOWN.—The report of the Medical-
officer, read at the last meeting of the Health Committee,
stated that the mortality in the borough from all causes
in the previous weak, differed little from the one preced-
ing, the deaths having been 327 against 320 ; but a much
larger proportion of the mortality was caused by cholera,
the deaths from which rose from 39 to 85. Diarrhoea, on
the other hand, fell from 76 to 64. Scotland Ward still
exhibits by far the highest rate of mortality, 99 out of
244 deaths in the parish of Liverpool, from all causes,
and 51 out of 79 deaths from cholera, have taken place in
that district. The remaining deaths from cholera were
distributed as follows, namely :—Vauxhall Ward, 10; St.
Paul's, 3 ; Exchange, 3 ;:St. Anne's, 5 ; Lime-street, 1;
Castle-street, 1; Pitt-street, 1; Great George-street, 1;
Abercromby, 1; Workhouse, 2. In the out-townships 6
deaths, viz., Everton, 1; Kirkdale, 1 ; North Toxteth, 3
South Toxteth, 1. In Scotland Ward 1 out of every 1,400
inhabitants died from cholera; in the remainder of the
borough about lin every 10,000. Other zymotic diseases
caused 37 deaths, of which 7 were from scarlatina, 6 from
typhus, 6 from measles (fewer than in any week since
February), and 4 from small-pox (unvaccinated). Much
delay having been experienced in the limewashing of
houses and courts in which cholera had appeared, by the
usual mode of serving notice upon the owners or occupiers,
the Medical-officer of Health suggests that the arrange-
ments found so advantageous during the former cholera
epidemic be again proposed to the parish,. authorities,
viz.,—that the parish provide the men, and the Health
Committee the materials, for the work. In this way not
more than 24 hours' delay can intervene between giving
the order and the execution of the work. Preventive
measures, in so far as they are within the province of the
Health Committee, are being vigorously enforced. Two
cases of cholera have occurred in the registered lodging-
house of Patrick Lloyd, 19, Chisenhale-street, of which
notice was not given to the Medical-officer of Health, as
required by the bye-laws. Sawney Pope-street and Caven-
dish-street are both in a condition prejudicial to health,
crnm qtro-e rlf the payment, which has, sunk in the
centre over the sewers rcv. -tiy constructed.
