Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, 18 4 P, A BURGESS. PARISH OF LIVERPOOL. AT a SPECIAL GENERAL VESTRY, held at St. Nicholas's Church, the 13th day of September, 1849, - in pursuance of a Requisition to the Churchwardens to call a Special General Vestry of the Rate-payers, " to take into con sideration the measures, if any, most advisable to be adopted, in consequence of the recent vote of the Town Council in favour of proceeding with the Rivington Pike Scheme, and of provid ing for the costs, by pledging the Corporat e Estate in aid thereof, whereby the interests of the Rate-payers of the Parish may be most seriously affected." The Venerable Archdeacon BROOKS in the Chair. The Notice calling the Meeting having been read, and the Chairman having stated that the use of the Sessions House had been offered for the present Meeting, It was unanimously Resolved,—That this Meeting be ad journed to the Sessions House. And the Meeting having adjourned accordingly, It was moved by Mr. J. It. JEFFERY, seconded by Mr. E. P. APICNIGHT, That the Parishioners, in General Vestry assembled, cannot but express their regret that the Town Council of Liverpool should have persevered, in the yeia 1848, in pursuing measures for enforcing the adoption of the Rivington Pike Scheme, as a means of supplying the town with water, in opposition to the very powerful expression of public opinion against that scheme, and especially before the Water Works, purchased by the Cor poration, and other sources in their possession, bad been suffi ciently tested to prove that there was a want of any distant supply at all. It was moved, as an amendment, by Mr. SAMUEL HOLME, seconded by Mr. LACE, That an increasing supply of Water is absolutely necessary; and that an Act of Parliament. having been obtained for pro curing such supply from Riving ton, and the Corporation having, in the prosecution of such Act , ' entered into liabilities to a large amount, it is the opinion of this Vestry that the Rivington Works be proceeded with. The amendment and motion were then proposed from the chair, and the original motion having been carried upon a show of hands, a Poll was demanded by Mr. Samuel Holme. The Chairman having now announced that he was compelled to leave the meeting, Mr. Churchwarden liarhord was called to the chair. It was moved by Mr. GAGE, seccnded by Mr. JOHN JOHN SON, and resolved unanimously, That the Parishioners, cannot hesitate to record their still greater regret, and, indeed, astonishment, that the Town Council should, in the year 1849, resolve to apply to Parliament for further means of carrying out the said scheme by the aid of the funds of the Corporate Estate—funds required for many most desirable improvements—a measure which is calculated to absorb the very surplus revenue out of which the claim of the Parish for a contribution to the local rates was lately agreed to be met; and this, too, while there has still been no satis factory test of any deficiency in the supplies of pure spring water in this locality. It was moved by Mr. JOHN SMITH, seconded by Mr. Tilos. URQUHART, and resolved unanimously, That a Committee be now appointed to take into considera tion the subject generally, and especially what the Parishioners deem to be the primary question in the case, namely, the ac tual quantity of Spring Water now available for ail the require ments of the town, or which may . be rendered available by a moderate expenditure in obvious improvements in machinery and management; it being the decided opinion of this meeting that if certain provisions of an Act of Parliament have been obtained in the belief that there was a local deficiency of Wa ter, the strongest pass ble argument for repealing such enact ments would he furnished by the fact that they were founded in error, it having been subFequently proved that no local deficiency existed in the supply of Water for the present or even the next generation. It was moved by Mr. WILLIAM BROWN, seconded by Dr. Conti NS, and resolved unanimousy, That the following twelve gentlemen, namely, Mr. J. R. Jeffery, Mr. John Smith- Mr. Thomas Haigh ' Mr. J. A. Picton, Mr. Thomas Denton, Mr. Thomas Reay, Dr. Collins, Mr. Charles Gream, Mr. Adatn Prinele, Mr. Thomas Avison, Mr. Gillham, and Mr. Woodhead, with the Churchwardens and Overseers, do form the said Committee, with Dower to add to their namber, and to give Parliamentary notices for the al tering and amending the Water Act of 1847 ; and that they be requested to report, as early as convenient, on the matter re ferred to them, and to give such further information on the subject generally as they may deem useful to the Parishioners. It was moved by Mr. CHARLES GREAM, seconded by Mr. J. W. PILCHER, and resolved unanimously, That the Parishioners approve of the step taken by the gen tlemen who have served a Notice of Injunction to prevent the raising or borrowing money on the credit of the Corporate Estate, for the purpose of carrying out the Rivington Pike Scheme; and they hereby express their determination to sup port the parties who have taken such step, in all legal measures to which they may find it necessary to resort, with a view to prevent the Corporate Estate being applied to such purpose. or the Borough Fund being used for the same, or the levy of any rate, by whatever title it tray be designated, to meet any part of the expense which may be incurred in carrying out, or in attempting to carry out, the Rivington Pike Scheme ; and they further hereby authorise the Equitable Rating Committee to take all necessary measures in respect to the matters in this resolution contained on their behalf, and also to advance from the funds in their possession, arising from the voluntary rate, such sums of money towards the expenses that may be incur red in carrying out the business :assigned to them as shall to them appear reasonable under the circumstances; and that the replacement of such advance be effected out of the volun tary rate to be proposed at the next General Vestry. It was then declared by the Chairman that the Poll on the first motion and amendment would be taken on Tuesday next. the 18th instant, at Ten o'clock in the Morning, at Saint Nicholas's Church. RICHARD HARBORD, Chairman. The Chairman having left the Chair, Resolved unanimously, On the motion of Mr. J. SMITH. seconded by Mr. JEFFERY, That the thanks of this Vestry be given to the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks and also to Mr. Churchwarden Harbord, for their able and impartial conduct in the Chair.

GORSTS and BIRCHALL. [ADVERTISEMENT.] GAS.—An unequalled variety of Chandeliers and Lus tres for Gas will be found at the Manufactory and Show rooms of WILLIAM PENN SMITH, 26 and 28, HA NOVER-STREET, opposite the Tax-offices.

MRS. HEM ANS AND HER HOUSE, NEAR LIVERPOOL.— The house which Mrs. Hemans occupied was too small to deserve the name—the third of a cluster, or row, close to a dusty road—and yet too townish in appearance and si tuation to be called a cottage. It was set in a small court, and within was gloomy and comfortless, its parlours being little larger than closets. Yet she threw something of her own spirit round her, even in so unpromising an abode; and with her books, and her harp, and her flowers, which sometimes half filled her little rooms, they presently as sumed a habitable, almost an elegant, appearance. Some times, indeed, the scene was varied by odd presents, lite rary and others. I remember once paying her a visit, when a persevering writer, personally unknown to her, had sent her a hundred sonnets, printed on separate slips of paper, for her inspection and approval. These had not yet been consigned to the " chaos drawer," as she used to call it, from which many a precious piece of folly and flattery might have been disinterred for the amusement of the public; and, as the day was windy, and the window chanced to be open, this century of choice things was fly ing hither and thither, much to ouraniusement—a mi niature snowstorm r chased by her boys with as much glee as if they had been butterfly hunting. Scarcely had she settled at Wavertree than she was besieged by visitors to a number positively bewildering : a more heterogeneous company cannot be imagined. Many came merely to stare at the strange poetess; others to •pay proper neigh bourly morning calls, and these were surprised to find that she was not ready with an answer when the talk was of housekeeping and like matters. Others, and these were the worst, brought in their hands small cargoes of cut and dry compliment, and, as she used to declare, had printed themselves for their visit, by getting up a certain number of her poems. Small satisfaction had they in their visits. They found a lady, neither short nor tall, though far from middle age ; no longer youthful or beautiful in her ap pearance, (her hair, however, of the true auburn tinge, was as silken, and as profuse and curling as it ever had been,) with manners quiet and refined, a little reserved and uncommunicative; one, too, who lent no ear to the news of the day— " Who gave the.hall, and paid the visit last." The ladies, however, when they went away, had to tell that her room was in a sad litter with books and papers ; that the strings of her harp were half of them broken ; and that she wore a veil on her head like no one else. Nor did the gentlemen make much way with their Della Cruscan .admiration. In fact, the stock of compliment, once being exhausted, there remained nothing to be said on either side, though there were none more frankly de lighted, or more keenly sensible of the genuine pleasure she gave by her writings than Mrs. Hemans. Her works were a part of. erself, herself of them ; and those who en joyed and understood the one, enjoyed and understood the other, and made their way at once to her heart. must not forget to allude to what Charles Lamb calls the " albuinean persecution" which she was called upon to endure. People not only brought their own books, but those of " my sister and my sister's child," all anxious to have something written on purpose for themselves. One gentleman, a total stranger to her, beset her before (as the housewives say) " she was fairly settled," with a huge virgin folio, splendidly bound, which he had bought on purpose " that she might open it with one of her exquisite poems." On the whole, she bore her honcurs meekly, and for a while, in the natural kindliness of her heart, gave way to the current, wishing to oblige every one. Sometimes, however, her sense of the whimsical would break out : sometimes it was provoked by the thorough going and course perseverance of the intrusions, against which it was difficult to guard. What could be done with persons who called thrice in one morning, and refused to take their final departure until they were told " when Mrs. Hemans would b ot Wale !"—Pereonol jtec.puee. flow of Nrs. Hemans. ~:Ta THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS. The' anniversary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was held yesterday evening, in the Lecture-hall of the Collegiate Institution, the body and galleries of which were crowded with a highly res pectable audience. Amongst the clergymen on the plat form, besides the deputation, whose names are given else where, we observed the following :—C. Inman, Esq., C. Greene, Esq., H. Swainson, Esq., Archdeacon Brooks, Revds. Dr. M'Neile, J. Jones, R. Davies, Dr. Carpenter, S. Fenton, H. Hampton, W. Hughes. J. Baylee, T. Da vies, Conah's Quay, D. Stewart, C. Osborne, J. Tobin, W. Rawson, Seaforth, F. Parry, D. Anderson. W. Pol lock, H. Hampton„ C. 11. Burton, J. C. Prince, Barry, AoplcAon, T. Bowstead, A. Know, T. Howson, J. North, W. W. Ewbank, C. H. Carr, T. R. Govett, J. Welsh, Moran, and A. C. Power. The meeting was presided over by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the diocese, who, in opening the business of the evening said—l am sure it will be your wish, that according to the custom on all such occasions, we should now commence our proceedings by invoking the blessing of Almighty God upon our labours. (Hear, hear.) The meeting was then opened with suitable devotional exercises ; after which His LORDSHIP said,—Before I proceed to call upon the gentleman who is to move the first resolution to-night, I wish briefly to express the great gratification which I feel in being able to be present on an occasion like this. (Hear, hear.) The society in support of which we are met, proposes to itself the noblest, highest, arid best objects that can animate our efforts, that is the propaga tion of the gospel of Jesus Christ; and, in this great and good cause, it has now laboured, I believe, for near a century and a half. If during the earlier years of its exertions, the operations of the society were confined to a small scale, yet that was not to be attributed to any defect in the ori ginal constitution of the society, or to any defect of zeal, piety, or judgment in its first supporters and friends; but, alas, to the want of necessary support from public libe rality and Christian bounty in those early days. Happily that is now no longer the case; for enlarged means are placed at the disposal of the society by the awakened liberality of the Christian public, and the appropriation of the extended means of the society, has extended its ope rations, which now reach over the whole of our colonial and territorial empire. (Hear, hear.) Men of God, ministers of Jesus Christ are found willing to go forth to labour as missionaries in those distant lands, willing to relinquish all the comforts and endearments of an Eng lish home, willing to toil in a noxious climate, often beneath a burning sun, for the sake of spreading the Gospel of Christ and a knowledge of salvation. The society for which we are met calls on you to en able it to continue to send forth such men,—to place at their disposal the funds which are required for carrying on this great work. It is an appeal which, i am sure, will not be uainly made to the Christian people of England anywhere, and I am willing to persuade myself, not in vain here ; for there is scarcely any place in England, with the exception of London, where the appeals to the charitable feeling of the people are more readily responded to than in this town, the centre of commerce, and the great emporium of the trade of this country. Your port brings you in con nection with all parts of the world where the opera tions of this society are known, and I trust that as your vessels are freighted with all that is necessary for the temporal wants of the people of those climes, you will feel yourselves called upon, as Christian people, to send forth that which is greater than merchandise—the gospel of Jesus Christ to all those countries where British administration, British commerce, and British enterprise reaches. (Applause.) On all these grounds, I hope you will, upon this occasion, when this society appeals to you for aid, shew your Christian feeling and liberality in ren dering them that assistance which. under God's blessing, is calculated to effect the utmost good. His Lordship then concluded, by calling upon the Rev. Mr. Pollock, the Secretary of the Society, to offer a few observations on the present state, and future prospects, of the Society. The Rev. Mr. POLLOCK said that he and many of his clerical brethren felt much disappointment in the unavoid able absence of the Rev. Mr. Trevor, of York, who, could he have been present, would materially have assisted the objects of the meeting. Another matter of regret was, that no immediate report of the society could now be furnished ; for it had been published in February. The abstract he held of it, however, showed that the funds in the district this year had exceeded those of last in the proportion of £4OO to £240. In 1847, the collections were £143: this year they had far exceeded that amount ; and the total funds had this year increased from £1,148 to £1.400. The Rev. Mr. Dawns, of St. Paul's, was then called upon to propose the firstresolution. He declared his high approbation of the objects of the society, and its great success since it was originated sofas back as the beginning of the last century—the year 1701. Its object then was to receive, manage, and dispose of Bibles for the religious instruction of her Majesty's subjects beyond the seas. It was a long time to look back, but the success had been such that they might do so with the greatest satisfaction ; for it had accomplished much, though labouring under many disadvantages. England was not, when it com menced its labours, aware of the excellent effect ; but God had since awakened her to that feeling and perception. The society, exhibited the most satisfactory and pleasing results that had yet been developed by any sister society. When established at first, the fund then procured was £706; but last year the general fund had risen to £67.678. In this age of a mixture of unbelief and anarchy, we had in this success an assurance that the society was sanctioned and approved by God, and that it would so rise that his kingdom would be paramount over the world. (Cheers.) His LORDSHIP again rose, and introduced the Rev. Dr. Robinson, the Master of the Temple, London, and the friend and disciple of the great Bishop Heber, to the meeting. Dr. ROBINSON, on presenting himself, was received with marked applause. When silence was restored, he observed that he could not but feel proud—although he felt reluctance in entering upon so delicate a topic to his feelings—in having his name associated, in the kind man ner in which his Lordship had been pleased to do, with the great and good man who was gone. (Hear, hear.) In speaking, as he would be obliged to do, of the portions of his past life, he could not dwell upon them without great feeling, and therefore he would, rather than for a moment obstruct the great and important discussion which was to be brought before them, suspend his obser vations on that portion of his life which was spent in communion with the celebrated bishop who had just been named, and who was honoured by all who had a true Christian feeling within their bosoms. (Hear, hear.) He could never, however, forget that he had the proud dis tinction of being the friend and servant of Heber; it was his happiness in life not only to share in his counsels, but to tread as nearly as he could in his path. Therefore he trusted that they would bear with him if he mingled something of his personal recollections of one whom he loved, and who was beloved by all British Christians, with the few observations it would be his duty to make to them- He felt the greatest pleasure in seconding the motion of his rev. friend who had just preceded him, and in doing so he would observe that he now rose to speak after a friend of his early youth, an associate at college, one from whom he had been separated for 35 years, and whom he now met for the first time as a fellow-workman in the great cause in which they were all engaged. It was delightful to his feelings, after so long a separation, to find that they were endeavouring to promote the one great cause, to promote the one object, which alone was worth living for—the glory of God and the salvation of his people. (Hear, hear.) In uttering these few words, he had accomplished the whole object of this great society. They bad no other object in view than the salvation of man, and the glory of God. He had no doubt the mem bers of their society—the men who sacrificed all the en dearments of home to the desire of spreading the gospel, were the instruments in the hands of God destined to achieve the great object which all Christians ought to have in view, viz., the spreading of the gospel in heathen lands. He had no doubt but that as they had already achieved much, they would yet achieve more. He doubted not but that they were called upon in this work ; for every indication of divine providence since the foundation of the society has been propitious to their efforts. It was to providence alone they attributed their success, for there were difficulties in their way when they commenced which no human power could overcome ; hut still they should not hide from themselves that they had still got difficulties to encounter. But let them not despair, for their hope was placed in the Almighty in whose name they believed, whose command they followed, whose power was watch ing over them, and who was calling upon them to the conflict with the power of darkness as it at present existed in many parts of the world. They had heard recently of a Society which had been got up for the establishment of universal peace, and although he could not persuade him self that there was the slightest chance of that scheme being realized, yet he honoured the feelings and sentiments of those noble hearts who propounded so glorious a scheme to the world. He felt persuaded, however, that there was only one society for the establishment of universal peace — only one peace congress in the world—that society was the Church of Christ, that congress was the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel -of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to every heathen, =believing Christian in the world. Therefore it was with the highest, the noblest feelings of his heart that he joined the Society and the whole of his Christian friends in the promotion of this great cause. This was the peace society.; this was the only congress which could secure its establishment. (Hear, hear.) It was important that all who came to their meetings should perfectly understand not only what they had done, and what they were doing, but that all should - be made acquainted in asclearand succinct a manner as possible with the full and exact state in which Vie affairs of the Society were. Nearly 150 years ago this Society was incorporated by charter. Its object was to,provide Christian teaching and Christian ordinances for all colonies and dependencies of the British empire. He begged that they would observe that by doing so they also provided for the conversion of those heathen nations in whose neighbourhood British colonies had been formed. The first fruits of their labour were (in the West Indies, and from that, after the Lapse of a few years, their footsteps were directed to the great continent of America. The society's success was so great that churches were erected, regular establishments were made in which provision was secured for the future spread of God's word. A regular church was established by means of this society, so that it might with truth be said that the episcopal church of America owed its origin to this society. From a small be ginning the church had spread to the extent of 29 bishops and 1300 ministers, all of whom had flocks more numerous than they could al tend to. When the United States, by poli tical convulsion, was separated from the mother country, the society naturally transferred its labours to the N. Ame rican colonies, and there those labours have been blessed by Heaven. Blest in a manner almost unequalled in the history of the Church, for not only in a short time have the people there received additional ministers, who ham been true to them, but the onanization of the pool*, the bishops and 'the ministers, that the preaching of the word of life—the faith of the Church ; the light of the gospel of Christ is now secured to them, and to their posterity for ever. (Applause.) All this was owing to the exertions of the Society. This should be admitted as being almost wonderful, when they remembered, as stated to them before, that during the early part of its existence it was so poor; but he could tell them that all had been done by the steady and persevering manner in which they had followed out the objects for which the Society had been formed. Seeing the 'people thirst for divine knowledge, they directed them to the waters of life, and their efforts were not un availing. It was impossible for him to speak of the next subject he had to bring under their notice without feeling deep shame and sorrow. He spoke as a Christian man, and an Englishman, and it was with feelings of deep shame and sorrow that he was compelled to dwell, even for a few moments, on our penal settlement in Australia. It was necessary for Englishmen to atone, as far as com pensation could atone, for the deep and aw ul crime com mited on that country. It was impossible that England could atone without a national confession of her guilt; and therefore, whenever they met together, as at present, it was necessary that her guilt should be confessed. It should be a source of shame and sorrow to every English man to remember that this colony was founded in guilt, in crime, and in misery, of the deepest and blackest dye. No doubt the laws of the land required that convicts should be sent there. They had the right to say to the man who violated the laws of the coun try that he should leave the bosom of the mother who nourished him, and that he must be banished from all the privileges and all the enjoyments of his native country. Human laws extended thus far: human authority gave there this just power and necessary authority ; but Eng land had no power to withdraw from her subjects those sa cred and spiritual consolations of reli g ion which such men stood in the utmost need of. She ha d no power to banish them from the light of the Gospel, and the holy teaching of God's word, and yet, would they believe it, the govern ment of the day, had it not been for the interference of Wilberforce, were about sending their first convict ships to that colony without a single chaplain ! (Hear, hear.) And the convicts numbered one hundred thousand when there were but 14 ministers in the entire colony. Let them contrast that state of things with the present condition of that great and important place. Let them remember, that but a short time since the place that was but a dependence on the diocese of Calcutta has now five bishops end an efficient body of clergy. In India the ex ertions of the society had been pre-eminently successful. After an interesting account of the state of the mission in British India and the adjoining territories, in the course of which the rev. gentleman expressed his warm approve of the government aid in the work of education, he ob served that some benevolent writer had remarked, that from Christian charity we assisted these churches in India, and enabled them to maintain their altars. The result was, that these churches were , the centre of light for the religious instruction of all the Heathen population; and he ventured to say, that as a number of villages had been given up to their spiritual attendance by the government, renewed vigour and life would be imparted to them, as the promotion of native missions in India was found to be highly effective. Multitudes of Brahmins had been con verted in every province in India. In one village, such had been the efforts of the Church Missionary Society, and this conjointly, that in one village, with a population of only 800, the people had themselves built an Evangelical Church of stone, and attended every evening, after their labours in the fields, to return thanks for their preserva tion and welfare during the day, and to implore protection during the coming night. If those who heard him would support these churches, the empire of India would go on in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus and all the arts of civilised life. They must put forth not only their hearts, but their hands to achieve this great work. (He sat down amidst loud cheers.) The Rev. T. IlowsoN, the principal of the Collegiate Institution, addressing his lordship said, after having lis tened to the eloquent speakers that preceded him it re quired all the encouragement that the familiarity of that place was capable of imparting to him to enable him to make the few observations he had proposed. It was a matter of very great satisfaction to bins to know that the society, on behalf of which they were met together, was one that had for its object, first, Christian education, and secondly, Christian evangelisation; they were kindred objects, and the best employment in 'which they could be engaged. (Hear, hear.) It we could suppose, what was not likely to take place, that some revolution threat ened us, and barricades were erected in our streets, they would fall before the power of those who had been religiously brought up, and, if this were true of education, it was still more emphatically true of evangelization. Mr. Howson here read the resolution, the effect of which was, that as Englishmen were beholden to the colonies for many temporal benefits, they were bound to contribute to their spiritual necessities. No one could doubt the truth of the purport of the resolution, it was only a mere matter of justice to assist the colonies in their efforts to confer religious instruction on their population. Mr. Howson went on to point out the extent of area occupied by our Colonial Church between Canada I and Mexico. and from the Mississippi to the Amazon. If American ambition should succeed in what he did not believe they would in annexing the whole of that territory first named, the objects of religion would still be sacred there, for over that entire extent were spread bishops and ministers of the Protestant Church. But though it was a gratifying reflection to know this, , still it could not be said that England had done her duty to the colonies. He would not trespass on the attention of the meeting longer than to say that as their cause was) a good one, it must prosper;—earthly kingdoms pas:l away ; earthly glory fades into nothing, but this was not the fate of His kingdom which they sought to establish. The Rev. MELMUTII, professor of Hebrew in Canada. next rose. He said as it was not more than three months since he left Canada, he felt considerable diffidence in addressing a meeting like that, and he trusted they would make allowance for his imperfections when they considered the disadvantages he laboured under. He could corroborate all that Dr. Robinson had said respect- ing the church in America. The members of the Epis copal Church there felt they were Englishmen. He had not been in Canada many years, and, therefore, could not pretend to know a great deal about its state. but they could form some idea of the onerous labours of the missionary ministers, when they were informed that one diocese contained 200,000 square miles, and numbered 800,000 souls ; he was sorry, and yet pleased, to say, that over that vast extent of territory, there were 83 ministers, two-thirds of these were exclusively supported by the society, the other third had only lately been ordained. With all tnis, the church was in a critical juncture, thousands arriving daily without any spiritual in structors. The hardships and privations suffered by the exemplary clergy of Canada, were touchingly pour trayed by the speaker; they in no case received a higher salary than £lOO per annum, and out of this sum they had to keep a conveyance. He was sure these facts had only to be known to gain the sympathy of his hearers towards men, who having had a university education, were content to spend a life of such poverty and labour. Describing the long journeys it was sometimes necessary to perform in the pursuit of their Christian work, Mr. Melmuth said that he had himself travelled a distance of fifty miles to administer the sacrament to a dying man, and this too over a wild and broken country. But his great gratification arose from the fact that Canada had begun to help herself. A society bad been formed some time since, which was enabled to employ twenty missionaries—a college had been built, towards which £l,lOO had been raised, exclusive of £7O for another similar purpose. Much good was being done in another direction, namely, in evangelizing the Ronaish Canadians, and several conversions had been made. A i German minister had likewise laboured successfully in confounding the neology of the Germans. After a very flattering account of the prospects opening in Canada, Mr. Melmuth retired, when the collection was made, and a psalm sung. The Rev. Dr. M'Nastx, on rising, was received with loud cheers. On their subsiding, he said :—My Lord, I have much pleasure in complying with the request of my rev. friend the secretary of this society, and rendering any assistance in my power towards the interest and efficiency of this meeting. Our object is admirable : our instru mentality is excellent : our duty is urgent. On every side, whether we consider our aims, our means, or our motives, the cause in which we are engaged is worthy. (Hear, hear.) Our object is to propagate the gospel; those glad tidings of great joy, for the preparation of which the 'Son of God was contented to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men. Yes ! to prepare the gospel, to be able to send forth his messengers, saying, the oxen and fatlings are 'killed, and all things are ready, the eternal Word who in the beginning was with God, and was God, was made flesh, made of a woman, made under the law. As man he lived a keeper of the law, supplying perfectly every moral duty, which man as a moral creature was bound to fulfil. As man he died, a curse upon the cross, enduring the extreme penalty of the broken law, to which man, as a.einful creature, was righteously exposed. Thus, in the language of the prophet, he made an end of sin, he made reconciliation for iniquity, and brought in everlasting righteousness. He rose again from the dead, leading cap tivity captive, and proclaiming to the 'universe that 'God is well pleased for his righteousness sake. He ascended into heaven, and ever liveth at the right hand of God, making intercession, and sending forth the Eternal Spirit to etuicken, renew, enlighten, sanctify .; so that, as Lord Bacon expresses it, " Christ having man's flesh, and mrn having Christ's spirit, there is an open passage and mutual imputation, whereby sin and wrath were conveyed to Christ from man, and merit and life are conveyed to man from Christ." This he will continue to do, until he shall have accomplished the number of his elect, and hastened his kingdom. Our object, my Lord, is to propagate this glorious gospel of the grace of God, an admirable object, indeed, in which we are following the steps of apostles and martyrs ; apostles. who, for the propagation of the gospel, braved with holy boldness the persecuting tyranny of Pagan Rome..; and martyrs, who in the same holy cense. patiently endured the more ingenious and protracted tor tures of Papal Rome. These all died in faith, and being dead they yet speak, and urge us to persevere stedfaetly in what they have so nobly advanced. Who, then, can deny or gainsay the excellence of our object ? Nay, who, amidst the blessings of this favoured land, can justify a refusal to give us his cordial co-operation ? (Applause.) For as our object is admirable, so our instrumentality is excellent. It is expressed in sword—our national Church — but it is not so easily described. Concerning our Church, we need not in dutiful affection say more, and we cannot in truth and justice say less, than that she is apostolical in her origin and constitution, sound and scriptural in her doctrines, tolerant and charitable towards those who differ from her, spiritual and elevated in her piety, and practical and holy in her influence on the lives and tempers of her genuine members. if some of her members be not genuine, and misrepresent their venerable mother, how ever she may grieve over unworthy children, she cannot be reasonably made accountable for misconduct in oppo sition to her plainest instructions. If some of her ment leers deny her apostolical constitution, or others exaggerpte it into papal assumption ; if some rationalize away her sound and scriptural doctrines, or others overload them with gross and anti-scriptural traditions ; if some abuse her charity into latitudinarian indifference, or others with ex clusive bigotry magnify her decent and orderly ceremonies into the place of essential truths, denying the christianity of all who do not conform to them, and so leaving them to the uncovenanted mercies of Gad ; if some refine her spiritual ordinances and sacraments into mere unmeaning signs, or others debase and degrade them into opus ope rautn incantations ; if some reject her holy influences through unbridled worldliness, or others caricature them by monastic austerities—our Chards herself is not to blame. She reproves on either side, and would fain correct on both sides, those who have departed from her well-balanced in structions., ( Hear, and loud cheers.) t repeat, therefore, my Lord,our instrumentality is excellent in itself. his wrought indeed by imperfect hands, arid no machinery entrusted to human management can be expected to work invariably without fault. To deny the existence of any fault is worse than folly. To assail and attempt to destroy the whole machine because of faults or supposed faults in its work ing, is insensate enmity. To forsake it because in some parts it workS in a way we do not like, is narrow-tniaded selfishness, but to repair what is broken, to adjust what is misplaced, and quietly to endure for the general good thosa parts which are not in accordance with our own personal preferences ; this is enlightened Christian friendship. ( Hear, hear.) Uniformity of preferences is impossible, but the unity of the Spirit is not impossible; and it is only by a spiritual sacrifice of personal preferences, and that on both sides, that there ever can be in this world a true bond of peace. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) As then our object is admirable and our instrumentality excellent, so our duty is urgent. Without entering into the wide field for missionary labours, supplied by the aborigines of our colonies, a bare consideration of our emigrants is sufficient to establish and impress this duty. Last year from the port of Liverpool alone there sailed above 121,000 emigrants ; and up to July of the present year there have sailed 91,575. Multitudes have since departed. Should these all, while pursuing the necessaries or en joyments of this world, be left without Christian in struction and spiritual superintendence ? Alas! what can this world do for them, supposing them all eminently successful in it ? What has it done for its most distin guished votaries ? Let disappointed schemes, wounded affections, and broken hearts give answer. Affection misplaced is idolatry. The world is full of idols. Jehovah is jealous. The idols are broken. And therefore the world is full of lamentation, sorrowing, and woe. The Rev. Doctor concluded by pointing to the duty of giving to these emigrants all that the Church of England could give them, and then they would be in a condition to fulfil the Divine injunction,—" Go forth and replenish the earth and subdue it." The Rev. Doctor resumed his seat amidst loud applause. The Rev. C. H. BURTON, incumbent of St. Phillips, stepped forward to second the resolution, which he did in a few appropriate words. His lordship read the resolu tion, which•being put was carried, The Ven. Archdeacon BROOKS rose amidst the loudest and most unanimous demonstration of approbation on the part of the meeting. He passed a high eulogium on our esteemed bishop for his uniform and impartial efforts whenever called upon, in the cause of religion or charity. He cordially thanked his lordship for his services that day. Mr. INMAN seconded this motion, which was received -with the warmest approval, and ' The Lord BISHOP responded in a truly affectionate strain, depreciating his humble services in the good cause, and expressed the gratification he experienced in meeting so many Christian friends assembled in such a cordial spirit. He closed his remarks by giving the benediction in an impressive tone to his hearers, and was warmly ap plauded. The meeting separated about a quarter to ten. The collection made during the proceedings amounted to £2l Ss. Particulars of Contributions to the Propagation Gospel Society, in 1847, 1848, 1849. Num. Church Annual Year. Serm.

A considerable number of vessels having entered our river since Tuesday last, we have to report somewhat increased re ceipts from Ireland, but very little of anything coastwise, ex cept Malt : from the north and south of Europe, and Egypt, however, we have to note a very large arrival of Wheat, with a tolerably good supply of other Grain ; and from the United States, including Canada, upwards of 39,000 barrels of Flour, the import of Indian Corn being comparatively light. At our market to-day we had a moderate but not a lively demand for all descriptions of good Wheats, both new and old, at the full prizes of this day week ; and in some cases, upon very choice . qualities, Id. advance only was acquired. Flour was also in middling request, and rather higher prices were asked, but not generally obtained. In Barley, Malt, and Beans we have no material change to note, although Egyptian Beans were rather dearer. Pease were ls. to 2s. cheaper, and dull sale. New Oats, being scarce for the moment, were fully as dear as last week ; but old hardly sustained the rates then stated. Oatmeal unvaried. A limited business has been transacted in Indian Corn, ow ing to the advance demanded by holders, of 2s. per qr. for yel ,ow on the quotations of this day week ; but there is no change !n the value of white. 1- F I 8. 4 , 5 -,,,•gt1 x •4 t t nn-...„1 i- o - P CD..'•,v 0 g 1 t; ''''g 6.. . 2 i g: 4 t" ' ..i g ° ° ''''' 2, ,i -; 0 0 •;•.

A gen tleman who travelled with him by post from Warrington to London told Dr. Aikin a characteristic anecdote of his method of regulating postilions. The master of the whip on one of the stages appeared to have a theoiy of driving of his own which was by no means agreeable to the tra vellers. To Howard's remonstrance lie turned a deaf ear only. Confident in his own system he would receive no instruction, but went en fast or slow, roughly or smoothly, as best suited his humour. All plagues, however, come to an end. When the travellers arrived at the post for change of horses, Howard requested the landlord to send for some poor and industrious widow from the village, and then, placing her face to face with the amazed fol lower of Jehu, counted out to the latter his full fare— telling him, at the same time, that he could not bestow upon him the usual gratuity given to postilions, on ac count of his misconduct ; but, to convince him that he withheld it from a sentiment of justice and not from any meaner motive, he would make a present to the p oor widow of double the sum, and , having counted the money out to her, dismissed them. This was his usual custom ; and, without violence or angry words, it soon produced, wherever he was known, a ready compliance with his wishee.-14fe of John Howard. GgNERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Afternoon. The stearne.2 is off. We have have not Yet received any , news, further than that brings the mail and p assen . gers of the Hibernia, and t hat thelatter vessel ran ag round near Halifax, which infor : nalion has, of course, relieved the minds of many parties who, from different uses were in a state of considerable anxi e ty. She w ea ' latelO. night. ue up The inopportune delay of the Hibernia—happily, with out loss of life—has completely thrown the mercantile world into confusion, and materially impeded the general business of the past week. Accuctomed as we are to receive weekly intelligence from the States, the least hiatus io our correspondence with our distant neighbours operates most prejudicially upon the extent of commercial operations here in all that relates to American produce. With respect to Cotton, an improved feeling was mani fested on Saturday, and the market was firmer. To-day, transactions were similarly characterised ; there were more buyers than sellers ; but the terms offered by some spe culators—i.e,, the rates of Wednesday and Thursday last—having been refused by holders, the sales were limited to about 5,000 bales, iccluding 1,000 for export and on speculation. All parties are naturally waiting for the accounts by the steamer, which this week will be particularly important, the Canada bringing a fortnight's news of the coming crop. The imports of wheat and flour into Liverpool are again on the increase, and comprise 25,000 qrs. of wheat (Eng lish, Irish, and foreign), and about 34,000 barrels of flour, already reported since this day week; so that, balancing this against the rise in the London market to-day of from Is. to 2s. per qr. on wheat, it is difficult to predict the turn of to-morrow's market. The slight firmness observable in some of the country markets this week has quite elated our Newcastle-upon-Tyne correspondent, who boasts that, " having previously taken leave to observe that, taking into consideration the exhausted stocks of old corn in the hands of growers, prices had been fore: l down below what the natural circumstances warranted, that we are now receiving ample evidence of the correctness of that opi nion, inasmuch as in the face of liberal imports the large consuming marts are making a stand, which is the inevit able precursor to a rise, more especially when the firmness takes place after the harvest in the south and the principal corn-growing counties has been secured." And he states further that the American and other supplies will be ma terially curtailed, unless prices advance sufficiently on this side to leave a marg n for shipments. Now, with regard to this latter remark, we are well aware that many of the American consignments have been losing speculations, and that great caution will be used by brother Jonathan under existing circumstances : but we cannot withstand the conviction, that with a plentiful harvest at home, and more than sufficient in the States for their own consump tion, prices must find their level according to the ordinary laws of supply and demand. And for the rest, we again contend that what may have been the " inevitable precur sor to a rise," in former years, does not necessarily bear upon the changed circumstances by which the markets of England are governed at the present time.—The accounts come rather worse again about the potatoes. • We nave a better feeling for Sugar, and 150 hhds. 'West India were sold to-day at rather better prices. Molasses continue neglected, and the late arrivals are going into store for want of buyers. Ruin is still in favour, and higher prices are anticipated. Tea is firmly held, but there is no great deal doing in it: the trade generally is well stocked. There was a sale of 1000 bags of Rice to-day, of fine quality, which was all disposed of, with considerable competition, at Ils. fl., which is rather dearer. There is no new feat ure to notice in the Wool trade here : stocks are light, and holders firm. The public sales in London are going off at prices rather in favour of the buyer. The woollen manufacturers are fully employed, and we may expect a good winter trade. The share market has been for the last few days in a state of panic. As far as we can learn, however, this has not arisen from any pressure of sales, but has been brought about altogether by the combined and desperate exertions of the bears here and in London, in order to bring in stock to enable them to close their accounts, which had become large from their having for some time supplied every real buyer in the absence of a real seller. Such being the case, we maw look for a speedy and very decided reaction. Even the Times itself has admitted that shares are now in an unnatural state of depression. The busi ness has been done to-day at the following prices : Chester, £22-shares 9} dis. ; Glasgow and Greenock, }- shares 8+; Great Northern pref. 2} dis. ; Leeds sths, 6 die. ; West Ridings, 6} dis. • London Stock. 1131 1141 115 ' • New +-shares, 8/9 11/3 13/9 16/3 k prem. ; Shef field, No. 2, 61/3 ; Midland Stocic, 52 3 ; Ditto. k-shares, 18 +lB 171; Dover No. 4 , 64- 6/3 a ; Newcastle pref. 4i dis. ; Fire and Life, 2f prem. P.S.—Since the above remarks were written the pre dicted reaction has commenced, and there are buyers of all stocks generally dealt in, at a considerable advance upon Saturday's rrices. Midlands and the half-shares are particularly strong, the latter, at present prices of 18 dis., paying about 1 2 per cent. Our London telegraph reports also a decided improvement there, under the influ ence of some extensive purchases of London +-shares and Midland £5O-shares to be taken. Midland stock closes in London at 521 531 ; halves, 18 17 dis. ; London stock, 114 116; +-shares, 4- 1+ prem., with a strong market. POLICE COURT. Y . - _ ESTERDAY. SUSPICION OF FELONIOUS POSSESSION OF CLOTHES, SILKS, &c.—Three women, Mary M'Grath, Sarah Aspi nail, and Susan Simpson, were charged with being found in possession of a quantity of silk pieces, silk dresses, and other clothes and drapery, which belonged to a gentleman named Renshaw, residing at 31, Springfield, whence the articles bad been stolen.—They were remanded. STEALING CIGARS.—A boy named John Drummond was charged with stealing a quantity of cigars, on Friday morning, from the premises of Mr. Finning, a dealer, who stated that he had lost between £5O and £6O worth within a short time. There was no very distinct identifi- cation of the cigars, and the prisoner was consequently - - - remanded. THEFT FROM A SHOP.—William Brown and Patrick Welsh, were charged with stealing a double-barrelled . pistol, from the gun shop of Mr. Edward Carpenter, in M,nchester-street, on Saturday. One of them went in to buy a small quantity of gunpowder, and the other, who was with him, made off with the article. He was ob served, and both were pursued, and captured. They were sent for trial. COMMITMENTS TO PRISON.—John Harris, found on board a ship, on suspicion of an intent to steal, three months. James Jennings, for obtaining 15s. upon false pretences, from Edward Whitebread, committed for trial. Robert Kelly, found under suspicion, in an empty house in Chatham street, two months. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF MONEY.—Ann Dodd, a rather forbidding-looking woman, and Samuel Dodd (who said he was her husband, though this was denied by several of the officers), were charged by a respectably dressed gentleman, named Anthrnr Dlvies, a stranger in the town, with robbing him of - • r :t585, including a bank cheque or order for €550, and the remainder in sovereigns and silver. Complainant sal! rn Friday night he was walking in Lime -street, nee; ' • !ri. when the female importuned him for a glass el seini:Lhing to recruit, she stating that she had not tasted liquor all day. He doubted this from her appearance, and remarked upon it, but was finally persuaded to accompany her into a public-house, where he treated her to a glass of whiskey. While they were standing together she, by a rapid manoeuvre, plunged her hand into his pocket, and ab stracted all the money in a purse, with which she ran off. A reward was offered for the recovery, and detective constable Bates and another found the two prisoners in bed together at their lodgings, and under the bedding nearly all the money with the exception of the cheque, payment of which has since been stopped. Both pri soners were remanded. DARING ATTEMPT TO ROB A STEAMER ON HER PAS. SAGE FROM DUBLIN.—Three men, Robert Smith, John Heaton, and William Kenney, were charged with an at tempt to realize large plunder from the cabin passengers on board the Britannia, City of Dublin Steam-ship, during her passage from Dublin to this port, on Saturday night last. The prisoners, after dark, had obtruded themselves into the saloon, though they had not paid cabin fare. The steward observed some strange conduct on the part of one of them, but thought he was merely looking for a berth to sleep on, and having no suspicion of his intention did not question him. The steward soon afterwards found that several articles had been taken from his pan tries; and two gentlemen passengers afterwards 'found that the same parties had been in their state-rooms, and had ransacked their pockets of money &c. The vessel was off Holyhead during part of these transactions. Part of the property, nearly all of which was recovered, was found on board, after the vessel reached the waters of the Mersey. Mr. Rushton sentenced the three priso ners to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard, labour. _ _ ROBBERY OF 25 SOVEREIGNS.—Two men, John Hogan and Darby were charged by Bernard Boland with stealing from him £22 in money, in Carlton-street, in this town,—also sheets. shoes, and other articles, about ten days ago. The prisoners had left the town together and proceeded to London. Mr. Clough, our chief uper intendent of police, wrote to that town, describing the effects taken ; and the consequence was that a metropo litan detective officer apprehended both of them in Rose mary-lane, on Wednesday last. Hogan made a confess sion, saying that he had only taken 21 sovereigns, which were found upon him. Nothing was found upon Darby,. who it appeared had merely accompanied the other•; the latter having promised to find him employment. Hogan was sent for trial, and Darby was discharged. HISTORY OF AN ADVENTURER.—About 30 years ago a lad of Crediton, named White, belonging to poor parents, being tired of living at home, was determined to seek his fortune, and try what he could do for himself. He first went to Exeter, and offered himself to a butcher, to do anything that might be required. The butcher employed . him, and gave him small wages, and the lad being steady,. he continued with his master nearly two years. Being very saving, he had by this time accumulated a small su m of money, partly by his wages, and partly by small sums given him by his master's customers for his obliging behaviour; but he had not sufficient money - to carry him to London, where he was desirous of going. However, by the help of friends, he procured enough for his joure:-y,. and he rent to London. After rambling about for rue time he went to Shadwell, and hired himself to a butcher, with whom he lived many years. At length his master died, and he set up for himself. He took a shop, bought • a sheep or two, which he soon sold, and it was not long. o before he had a good supply of meat for his cust omers.. His business soon considerably increased, and after some , years Mr. White was one of the first butchers in Shadwell. He had brought up a large family, and, .by his industry and perseverance, had realised a handsome fortune —his hinds say not loss thap A5,20,043Q, =NM
