Mr. Miller came over to this country to try and en- ror toe colonization of Liberia. Mr. rennington, a highly intelligent coloured gentleman, who is, we believe, a cler gyman in New York, has now landed here, having been entrusted by his countrymen with a mission to explain r . their feelings with respect to Liberia, and by explaining, thwart Mr. Miller's designs. He is prepared, he states, to show by ample proof, that the American Colonization Society is now, as it has , been ever, opposed to the best • Lue comureu wan in itnlCrlea tnat tne free people of colour of the United States have from its earliest history, and still do, as a body, condemn the prin ciples of that society.—Journal. [Mr. Miller remained in this town for some time, and was very desirous of in teresting the public of Liverpool in favour of this scheme, but owing to the representation of the true facts of the case which we were enabled to give through information furnished to us by the Rev. Mr. Crummell, the mis sion of Mr. Miller has, so far, we believe, been fruitless.] We last week briefly noticed that the youths who had been successful in competing for the " Molvneux Scho lar.ahina " at tha Orallnrr;nfe. yneux, the lady of • Alderman Molyneux, (the founder of the scholarships), with a beautiful vinaigrette, as a token of their gratitude to that gentleman for the service he had done to them by his munificent foundation of the scholarships, which en title the holders to one year's education, free of expense, and to which he has added a further present of books. The piece of plate bears on the top a beautifully executed basso-relievo view of the Collegiate Institution. On the inside the names of all the scholars were engraved, and on the bottom the following inscription :—" Presented to Mrs. Edmund Molyneux, on the event of her Marriage, 15th April, 1849, by the Molyneux Scholars of the Lower Collegiate School, Liverpool. The token of gratitude was received by Mrs. Molyneux with much evident pleasure, and she acknowledged the present in terms that must have been most gratifying to the deputation who waited upon her. She afterwards presented to each scholar an ele gantly-bound Church Service, with his name written at the commencement, observing, in doing so, that she did not think she could express her thanks in a more suitable form. The party then descended to the dining-room, partook of substantial refreshment, and retired highly delighted with the kind reception they had met with. SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB.—On Thursday the annual examination of the children instructed in this valuable institution, took place in the theatre of the Royal Institution, Slater-street. The Rev. Rector Campbell, the president, occupied the chair ; there were also present —R. Rathbone, Esq.. the Rev. H. H. Higgins, the Rev. W. Maynard, &c. During the past year sixteen chidren had left the school, viz., nine boarders and seven day scholars ; and thirteen had been admitted,—nine boarders and four day scholars. There were now under tuition, 33 boys and 27 girls, making a total of sixty. In 1825 the school commenced with sixteen ; in 1830 the number had increased to 25 ; in 1835, to 36 ; in 1840, to 48 ; in 1845, to 55 ; and in 1848, to sixty. As many as 250 children had, since its establishment, been instructed and qualified to fill situations.

In conclusion, the committee called upon the friends of the school to assist them in endeavouring to obtain additional annual subscribers, as it was regular subscriptions that enabled them to carr;on the institution with efficiency. - a few introductory remarks by Mr. James Rhind tat the dec€ ;e'd was watching some parties i," 4 ble It struck him on the temples.—On boat:ag,..7".ning, at the same place, a boy named John ; I,4;l,fifteen, was struck on tbe head by a swinging 'lngered in great pain until Friday, when he I )ee °l 4t/ 1 ,, 114 COURTS AND ALLEYS.—The borough engi fitttles of Sir men earth enc.-115,rd in thnrnnohlo metic, &c.

MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND We extract the following, relative to the proposed change in the transmission of the Irish mails, from the Dublin Mercantile Advertiser : " We are given to understand that the following is the intended change to take place in the despatch of the mail from Dublin after the 20th instant, consequent on the doing away with the contract mail packets to Liverpool from Kingstown : " The mail to leave the General Postoffice at ten minntes to six o'clock, p.m., (instead of ten minutes to four o'clock as at present,) leaving Kingstown for Holyhead at half past six o'clock. From Holyhead the correspondence, &c., will be despatched about midnight, so as to arrive in Liverpool for the first delivery of letters in the morning there. Letters for London, &c. by above mail will be sent from Chester by the morning express train, reaching Lon don about one o'clock in the day. " From Liverpool there will lie but one despatch daily for Ireland, namely, at nine o'clock, p.m., via Chester, from whence the correspondence will be brought by the down night mail from London, arriving in Dublin about twelve to one o'clock, (noon,) instead of as at present, (in ordinary weather,) at seven o'clock in the morning. "No change in the despatch of morning mail for Lon don, &c., at half-past eleven, a.m., from Kingstown. " The morning mail at ten o'clock, a.m., from London, will be despatched as at present ; but the Irish correspond ence to come via Chester, where it will reach at a quarter past four, p.m., remain there till the arrival from London of the five o'clock express train. due in Chester at a quarter-past ten, p.m., from whence the Irish mail bags wil be immediately forwarded (after six hours' detention,) arriving at Holyhead about half-past one in the morning. The packet to leave there about two o'clock, a.m., and be due at the General Postoffice at seven o'clock, a.m." To Liverpool, the interests of which are so immediately connected with those of Dublin, and to all the districts which transmit through this channel, the above arrange ment will be exceedingly unsatisfactory. It deprives us of those advantages of speedy intercommunication to which we are entitled, limiting our postal intercourse to once in twenty-four hours. Newspapers from this district will not be delivered in Dublin till their intelligence is stale, and journals from this quarter to the interior of Ireland will lose much of their interest before they can arrive at their respective destinations. Men of business will have equal ground of complaint at the tardiness with which their wishes and operations on each side must be commu nicated. We hope a strong remonstrance will be made against the mode in which Liverpool is treated in this matter, and that the influential men both of Liverpool and Dublin will use their utmost endeavours to induce a more satisfactory arrangement. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.—On Friday, a great number of shopkeepers, coal dealers, and marine store dealers and others, appeared before his worship the Mayor, charged by Mr. Fell, the chief superintendent of weights and measures, with having in their possession fraudulent weights, scales, and measures. On Thursday, a fellow, named John Williams, was sent to gaol for three months. He had agreed to carry a box for a poor woman to the Mostyn packet, but decamped with it on the road, and was found next day (the articles the box contained having been taken out) offering it for sale. JUVENILE CRIME AND ITS TREATMENT.—Four little boys were placed in the dock, when one of the keepers of St. James's Market said,—" Last night these boys were found stowed away in the market."—Mr. Rushton : " Stowed in the market ! Don't bring children of seven years of age, and charge them as criminals. Discharge them, and send for their parents." CHARGE OF FRAUD BY A SHIPPING AGENT'S CLERK. —Two miserable looking Irishmen charged, on Friday, a young man, named John Kearney, with having received from them the sum of £9, under pretence of shipping them to America, and then being unable to perform his promise. The prisoner stated that he was in the employ of Mr. Murphy, shipping agent, Waterloo-road, and that he had handed the £9 he had received over to him. Mr. Murphy was sent for, and stated that the prisoner was not in his employ ; also that he had never received any money from him. On Saturday the case was again heard, when it appeared that the money had been returned to the emigrants, and the prisoner was discharged. LOCAL MEETINGS, MISSION TO OLD CALADAR.—A meeting was held on Tuesday evening, in the United Presbyterian Church, Mount Pleasant, for the purpose of presenting a valedic tory address to the Rev, H. M. Waddell, who is about to depart from this port for Old Calabar, to superintend the mission which the United Presbyterian Church has there established, principally through the exertions of the rev. gentleman. ALL SAINTS' SCHOOLS.—On Tuesday evening last a meeting of the committee, pew-renters, and other friends of All. Saints' Church and schools, took place in the sehoohroom,. Beau-street, for the p,urßose ofhearing.the THE LIVERPOOL STINBARD. report of the income and expenditure, and devising the best means of liquidating the debt incurred by the alter ations of the building in Beau-street. The Rev. Henry Marlen occupied the chair, and amongst others present were Mr. Councillor Woodruff, Dr. Ackerly, and Mr. B. C. Rowland. It appears the congregation have done much to discharge the obligations imposed upon them ; but, as they feel it impossible for themselves, in such a poor district, to do all that is required in a pecuniary way, they have resolved to ask the public to assist them, and we scarcely need say we wish them success. WEST DERBY dUARDIANS.At the weekly meeting on Wednesday there were present Mr. T. F.. Roskell (chairman), and fifteen other members. Mr. Ledger called attention to the County Financial Board, wishing to know what had been done towards raising the funds necessary to carry out the objects of the guardians.

There were two cellars adjoining each other ; one of them was occupied by the sausage maker, and the other by a person who procured the horse flesh. The flesh of the horses, which was purchased from the knackers' yards, was taken into one cellar and passed through a hole into the other, where it was immediately chopped up —I and converted into polonies.

In this club they have, from individual preference to others which offered various advantages, enrolled them selves ; or finding themselves in a manner enrolled, have thought fit to continue. If nothing higher influences them, they can hear as good a sermon at the " Church," and so like it as well as the meeting-house ;" they have no objection to certain forms, habits, and gestures ; indeed, they think them orderly and decent, and they as willingly " sit under" an officially-robed clergyman as " under" a dissenting preacher. For the rest, the prejudices of habit and hereditament step in and bind them more closely to the steepled fane where their forefathers worshipped, and the high-backed pew where their forefathers sat. Indeed they think it proper for every man to follow his own pre ference in the matter, and is as much at liberty to choose between what is called the Church and what is called Dis sent, as he is between the society of Freemasons and the society of Oddfellows, the lecture-room of one professor or the academy of another, and that the privileges and obligations which his own choice originally laid upon him Mr- Rushton, but he could not interfere, because it was said, the polonies made from horse flesh were not bad officer whether horse flesh made into polonies was preju dicial to health? (Laughter.) Dr. Duncan said, "Not at all." Mr. Neill remarked that all horses sent to the knackers' yards were more or less diseased. The conver sation on this subject was kept up for some time, and par took of a good deal of levity. A favourable report was read of the progress of the baths and washhouses. A report was read from the Tow n-clefk to the effect that the Court of Queen's Bench bad quashed the recorder's order awarding, a gross sum as compensation to Mr. Snowball instead of an annuity, and that it was yet to be deter mined by reference to the Master of the Crown Office what annuity, if any, should be awarded to that gentle man. No other business of importance took place. DOCK COMMlTTEE. — Arrangements were adopted for facilitating the landing of goods, &c., at the large stage, horses and vehicles being allowed to go upon it two hours before and two hours after high water, but not at any other time.—The Warehouse Management Committee reported that, having revised the statement as to the Albert Dock warehouses, and considered the principle on which it was made out, they saw no reason to alter the opinion given in their proceedings of the 22nd of March last. The Chairman said he still retained his former ob jections to it, but it was for the committee to adopt it if they chose. After some conversation, during which the objections formerly urged in Council against the mode of valuing the warehouses were adverted to, the statement was adopted.—Alexander Maxwell was appointed master of the gridiron at the Prince's Basin, with a salary of 30s. per week.—The Secretary read a resolution of the Water Committee. It was to the effect that, on the 25th inst., workmen were engaged in laying pipes at the new north docks, on a plan approved by the Dock authorities, when a letter was received from Mr. Cummins, of the Dock office, requiring the work to be stopped, as it was pro ceeding without the authority of the surveyor. Mr. Duncan then waited upon the dock surveyor,,..wh9 de his own will can as easily lay aside. They naturally think therefore, that having made choice of a liturgy and a ce remonial, they have a perfect right wheresoever they go to form an assembly where they can be used ; and having joined a particular society, to be free from all authority but that of the heads to whom they have submitted them selves. They are Churchmen by exclusion. They are members of an institution called " the Church of Eng land," in contradistinction to membership in another par ticular institution known by a similar particular name, just as they might be Freemasons in contradistinction to Oddfellows. They .do not consider themselves Church men as having been taken out of the world and " trans lated into the kingdom of God's dear Son;" they avow al most a civil instead of a spiritual distinction ; and as for schism and catholicity, such words were never in their lati tudinarian vocabulary ; and so, not thinking that their baptism has put them in any relation with the (Episcopal) Church in Scotland. they despise her threatenings, reject her authority, renounce her communion, and with as as a bar to provincial anthr dined to give any explaUation, and used some Offensive or ns in reference to him. The Water Committee wished it to be understood that, as the works were stopped by an officer of the Dock Committee, they would not be responsible for any difficulty which might arise in supplying the new north docks with water. Mr. Hartley, the Dock surveyor, denied that he had abused Mr. Duncan ; he told him he had been annoyed in every thing where the Corporation was concerned, and he would not enter into any explanation in the public street where he met him ; the surveyor added, that they had always afforded the Corporation every facility; they (the Corpo ration) had even laid pipes down without giving notice, and considerable unnecessary expense had been thereby the I incurred. After some conversation on the subject, the But is this to be countenanced ' • are such mean and worldly ideas of churchmanship to be applauded or unre proved? Is the Church of Christ, with all its heavenly appliances, to be reduced to a mere instrument of facticus scrupulosity or private prejudice ?

The writer states that Mr. Cailis had got up a tale,. and failed to prove his statements, and calls upon the committee to continue to him (Mr. Syder) the benefits arising to him from supplying the Workhouse with goods. The subject here dropped.—lt was ordered that cheques for the pay ment of tradesmen's bills be signed by the chairman.—lt appeared from the proceedings of the Workhouse Com mittee, that there are at present 527 sick inmates in the house, out of which 140 are fever cases.—Mr. Brown complained that Mr. Taylor, one of the medical officers, had written a letter to the inspector of the poor-law board, on the subject of the arrangements in the house for sick persons, without ever having consulted the com mittee. Ultimately it was resolved that the conduct of Mr. Taylor, in writing to the Poor-law Commissioners without consulting the board, was improper and highly ings o Committee contained a motion' . by Mr. Woodruff, to the effect that, in anticipation of cholera becoming epidemic, Dr. Hawthorne should be employed by the Vestry to take charge of the cholera patients, which motion was lost in the committee, two voting for it and five against it.

Mi.:Woodiui explained, and denied that he had any desi re o f bringing the matter forward as an advertisement for Dr. Haw: thorne. He urged his appointment entirely on behalf of the public. Mr. Abraham believed that they would best serve the interests of the poor in urging them to make an early application for relief when first attacked.—Mr. Gardener was elected a new member of the Vestry in place of Mr. Riding, resigned. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. On Friday, Mr. Samuel Dickson, a conservative, was elected member for Limerick county, in the place of Smith O'Brien. Mr. Ewart has fixed his motion for the repeal of the duty on newspaper advertisements for Tuesday. the 12th of June. ENGLAND AND HER SOLITARY FREE-TRADE QUIXOT ISM.-It is not so generally known as it ought to be, that the United States Government levies a duty equal to eight shillings per quarter of our currency--or 10s. Canadian— on all foreign corn imported thus the American, the nearest market, is absolutely shut vgainst our colonists, who have in vain made attempts to induce their neigh bours to enter into some reciprocity treaty. The Cana dians are therefore in a perfect " fix." The mother country and the United States have both, practically. closed their ports against them. MR. FREWEN'S BILL TO UNITE PARISHES INTO DISTRICTS.—A bill has been brought in by Mr. Frewen, Lord Barrington, and Mr. Moody to enable magistrates at highway sessions to unite parishes into districts, and appoint district surveyors. There are several sections in the present highway act relating to this subject, and the object of the bill in question is to give greater facilities for carrying out these sections. The first clause enables jus tices at highway sessions to unite parishes and appoint a surveyor •, the second gives the parishes a power to appeal if they choose it ; the third, that the names of the parishes so united, with the name of the district snrveyor, are to be registered with the clerk of the peace, and due notice given to the surveyor of highways of each parish ; the fourth, that the justices are to fix the salary of the district surveyor, with the proportion to be paid by each parish, but it is not to exceed 13s. 4d. for every mile of parish road in each parish, or Is. 8.1. a furlong, or one half-penny a perch ; so that if a parish have five miles of roads they cannot be called upon for more than £3 Gs. Bd., if six miles it would be £4. Persons who have hal expe rience in these matters consider that in those districts where there is not a large amount of traffic, one surveyor could superintend from 150 to 200 miles of parish roads. If a district were taken of 25 parishes, with an average of six miles of roads in each, the surveyor, in that case, would receive about £lOO a-year, and each parish would pay less to the district surveyor than they generally pay to the surveyor of their own parish. The fifth clause is that the district surveyor is to give security. The substance of the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth clauses is on the present highway act. The tenth clause is that two-thirds of the justices may discharge the surveyor if proof is given of misconducting himself. The eleventh clause is that the act is not to extend to Scotland or Ireland, or the county of Middlesex, or any place having a board for the repair of the highways under the present act, or any place having a local act of parliament. The twelfth clause is, that it is not to be put in force unless there are sixty miles of parish roads in the district. The 13th clause is that the act is to continue till the 25th of March, 1851, and thence to the end of the then session of parliament; but if the bill should pass, and is found to work well, it is to be presumed that it will be continued from year to year. during the will of parliament. or until some larger and more important measure shall.be passed for amending the present law.

That petition, which was presented through the agency of Lord Brougham, emanated, it appears, &on certain residents in Scotland, who style themselves " Members of the United Church of England and Ireland." The complaint of these persons is, that they are not able to establish congregations separate from the lawful bishops , of that country, for their own estecial worship ; of not' being, in short, freed from episcopal control, and allowed to set up a church of their own, without the imputation of schism, or liability to the reprobation or reproof of the Scotch branch of the Church Catholic.

We want, and nothing else will satisfy us, the Bible taught in its fulness and purity; we want it to have, as it deserves, the first place in our literature ; we desire that it may be esteemed the all-honoured and unerring statute-book ; we claim for it the first place in our affections, and the last breath in our grateful prayers.

Free trade is certainly an extension of foreign trade, and conse quently must of necessity give more injurious energy to the absurd principle of Sir Robert Peel's bill, that gold only is fit for an internal money.

THE NAVIGATION LAWS. WHAT WILL RESULT FROM THEIR REPEAL TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORDS SPIRITUAL AND TEM* PORAL, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED MY LORDS,—A few parting words—they are words of truth. Time will show you, my lords, the results of the policy you are pleased to pursue. To such as myself they are already sufficiently apparent. Our daily avocations reveal facts unknown to your lordships. The stern reali ties of business life, can alone be known to those who mingle in them. You known them not, my lords, and you cannot know them except through the medium of the people's petitions—their honest prayers. The ministers of the Crown have thrown aside as worse than worthless, the opinions of the inhabitants of the great commercial town of Liverpool. They, the inhabitants of Liverpool, were of all others the most qualified to give an opinion on the momentous queston at issue. Forty-seven thousand of the male adult population of that place—ranking amongst them—hundreds of names familiar, from their gigantic mercantile transactions, to the whole civilised world—protested against the proposed navigation mea sure. Their petitions have been trampled under foot. Their prayers have been held in derision, and the opinions of those who are the germ of England's greatness are made the laughing-stock of political theorists, and theor ists who have signally failed in .the management of their own. affairs.

Sleep being thus appreciated by mankind, how desirous we ought to be that all should tranquilly enjoy " sweet repose," the general obstruction to which is through an unhealthy action of the liver or other viscera.

The Lord Chancellor, we sincerely regret to hear, is ,criously indisposed. For some time past his lordship's appearance has given considerable uneasiness to his friends ; for the last ten days be has scarcely been able to attend to the &lePotig duties of his high office . ; and in the early part of this week he became so much worse, that it was found necessary to resort to copious bleeding. The cause of his illness is a return of the same complaint from which he suffered severely about a year and a half ago ; and an opinion is gaining ground, that even if his lord - ahip's malady should take as favourable a turn as his most qttached 'esire, it will be at his time of life friends could c next to impossible that he should e upon the Woolsack, as he will al resume his seat vg hr linhln to n den recurrence of his disease. Under these circumstances, considerable excitement prevails amongst the lawyers as to his successor. Lord Campbell, it is understood, insists strongly upon his prior title to the custody of the Great Seal; a claim which Lord John Russell will, we appre hend, find it exceedingly difficult to resist with any show of justice. At the same time, it is well known that his ap point'nent would be unpalatable to the highest quarter, an.d in no one quarter that we know of, particularly ac ceptable. Still it would be a gross slight to pass over a cabinet minister, eminently qualified for a very high post by his legal attainments, though perhaps better calculated for a common law court than for a court of equity. Be sides, it would be a glaring insult to Ireland, if the same political party which made Lord Campbell chancellor of that country, was to pronounce him unfit for the same office in England; an inference hardly to be avoided if the prime minister should eventually give him the go by, ienera, John Romilly, in preference to him. The names of both these distinguished lawyers have been mentioned. and both are eminently qualified in point of character, deportment, and abilities ; but there are circumstances which are likely to decide the case in favour of the former. independently of his personal fitness, the promotion of Mr. Baron Rolfe would have the advantage of causing a vacancy in a puisne judgeship ; and :orney-general, it is utmerstoon that John Jervis would literally be forced to accept it. The government, it may well be bellived, are exceedingly anxious to get rid, without loss of time, of the gentleman whom a provincial contemporary has dared to describe as a " true specimen of forensic snobbery." Recent events, to which we need no t f ur th er a ll u d e, are sa i d to have hurried Lord John Russell in his determination to dispose of his present Atto rne y -G enera l, an d to prov id e himself with another in his place. If this latter move should be adopted, Sir John Romilly would, as a matter of course, succeed to the attorney-generalship, Mr. Cock burn or Mr. Martin st e ppi ng i n t o hi s presen t o ffi ce . Possibly, however, Ministers may not find this arrange ment as easy as they app ear t o thi n k. Si r J o hn Jervis, it is alleged, resists the proffered degradation, and spurns the Puisne Judgeship as an insult, declaring his determi nation to take his chance o f th e L or d Chief Justiceship of England, which he thinks it not impossible may fall vacant ere long, as Lord Denman has hardly recovered from a very severe bilious fever. This last piece of brazen impudence and arrogant self-conceit on the part of the hon. and learned gentleman is just now the common sport of Westminster Hall, where the very idea of such an appointment is ridiculed as too bad to be attempted even by a Whig government. Amidst all these embar rasments and squabbles of the unfortunate Whigs, the chances are, that our friend plain John, who is working quietly and determinedly, will ultimately succeed; au issue which will cause all further law changes to be, for the present at least, postponed.
