Town-hall, Liverpool, September 20, 1849. AMERICA. The North American mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Lott, arrived in the Mersey at noon on Sunday, with ad vices from Boston and Halifax to the 26th and 28th ult. respectively, being six days later than those brought by American steam-ship Washington, from New York, ar rived at Southampton on Saturday. The Europa, which accomplished the run throughout in ten days and three quarters, experienced very fine weather in crossing the Atlantic, but in her course up Channel encountered strong gales from the eastward. She brings fifty-four pas sengers, amone whom is the Hon. Abbot Lawrence, the American Minister to the Court of St. James's. The royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain Shannon, arrived at New York on the 22nd ult., and the America, Captain Harrison, at Boston, on the 26th, from this port. H.M.S. Trincomalee sailed from Halifax for Havat a on the 25th. The royal mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Stone, would have her repairs completed by the 27th ult. She was intended to leave New York for this port on the 29th. The New York journals devote many columns to the correspondence relative to the diplomatic squabble be tween the United States and French Governments. The interest attached to this affair had considerably abated. It was reported that Mr. Poussin, regretting exceedingly the offensive tone of his letters, had authorised a friend to make to the Secretary of State all proper apologies and retractions on his behalf. Another diplomatic disagreement is reported. Letters from Washington to the 23d ultimo, state that a sharp correspondence had taken place between the Secretary of State and Mr. Crampton, the representative of Great Britain, relative to certain assumptions of England upon the Mosqueto territory. The press of the United States has for some time past viewed with jealousy the influence -exercised by the British Government over that territory, and the claims to act thereon • and it now appears that the Government had taken up the matter. The suit for divorce between Mr. Pierce Butler and his wife (Fanny Kemble) had resulted in its being granted. A packet-ship, of 1,000 tons register, named the Al bert Gallatin, was launched on the 25th ultimo, on the Hudson. She is intended for the New York and Liver pool trade, and will be commanded by Captain John A. Delano, formerly of the Patrick Henry. In Canada a political riot had taken place at Bytown. A public meeting was held on Thursday, the 17th instil by the friends of the Government, for the purpose adopting an address to the Governor-General. The o position party attended the meeting, outvoted its origi nators, put out the officers they had appointed, and in troduced and passed a resolution warmly condemning th Government. The ousted party afterwards returned with stronger force, and a fight ensued, in which it was reported some were killed and others badly wounded. The military force was called out and succeeded in re storing order. By telegraph from Montreal to the 23rd ultimo, we learn that the disturbances at Bytown still continued, and that there were large arrivals of men from the country, who were fully armed and equipped, to aid in the outbreak. The troops, however, acted promptly, and prevented any serious damage being done. An extensive fire occurred in Quebec, on the 22nd ultimo, in which upwards of 25,000 dollars worth of pro perty was consumed. Accounts from Mexico state that Paredes had died. We have dates from Rio Janeiro to the 10th August. H. MS Apollo, from England to India, put into that port on the Bth, having lost eighteen of her men by cholera. The Emperor Solouque, of Hayti, bad conferred on several of his generals the titles of lords, dukes, and barons. •He had also an armed expedition against the Dominician government.

Since our last issue, the - Stock market has recovered some what from the decline which followed the announcement of the dismissal of Mr. Poussin, the French Minister, and Govern ment stocks are backed nearly to thepoint they stood at before that fact was known. The supply of Government stocks is moderate, and holders, generally, are well able and disposed to carry their stocks for an improvement. A state loan of 50,000 dollars was taken last week, at ii for Six per Cent. Stock of 1865. Our Money market continues abundantly supplied with capital, and good paper is scarce and in demand. Favourite names, short time, go at sto 6 percent. Longer paper goes at Bto 10 per cent. On call money is increasing in abunance, and on Government stocks could have been borrowed at 3 per >cent per annum. The regular rates are 4to 5 per cent. The banks are discounting freely for their customers, and cannot employ all their means. In Exchange there is but little doing. The rate for , first-class names. sterling, is 94 to 93, but good bills can be had at 84 to 9.; francs 5 273 t• 5 25. The demand for remittance by this steamer has been moderate, and the supply light. There is nothing in the Freight business at present to indicate a rise in exchange. The coin in the sub-treasury has accumulated to:3,800;000 dollars, but the banks are still amply supplied, and the ab straction of so large a quantity causes them no alarm. The receipts of gold from California will doubtless be large during the winter and keep us well supplied. COTTON.—Since our last, per Niagara, 17th instant, we have had an animated demand for cotton, at daily improving prices. On Wednesday, 19th, 1,500 bales were•sold at full rates to 4c. advance ' • on Friday, 21st, 5,000 bales, at a further advance of 3c.; on Saturday, 22nd, 3,000 bales, at full rates to ad vance; and to-day, Monday, 24th, 3,180 bales, at full rates to 4c. advance: making, for the week 16,153 bales, at 3c. to lc. above the quotations last advised. The market closed to-clay with a good inquiry for,export and home use, at the annexed quotations, and a very limited quantity offering. We quote this day as follows, remarking that our ,quotations are .for strict Liverpool, not Nat York, classification : Florida and N. 0., Texas, Uplands. and Mobile. Inferior none. none.

BREA r STUF73.—In breadstuffs there has been:an improving teudency during the week, with a good demand. The supplies have been moderate from the interior. The quotations are, — Western Canal Flour 4 dollars 874 cents to 5 dollars 25 cents ,per barrel, corn weal 8 dollars 18 cents, Gennessee• . wheat 120 to 122 per bushel, :Indian corn 58 to 60 for mixed, and 60 to 61 for yellow. _ _ PROVISIONS.—In provisions there has been nothing of im portance doing, and very little for English account. Pork is 8 dollars 50 cents and 10 dollars per barrel. One or two con tracts for prime mess beef have been made at 16 dollars to 16 dollars 50 cents per tierce. Cut meats are very inactive and nominal. Lard is heavy, with sales at 6i to 64 the latter for strictly prime. IftoN.—We note a fairdemand, but the market is inactive, though without change in prices. The; ales include 600 or ;700 tons Scotch Pig, at 20 dollars 50 cents cash, and 21 dollars 50 cents, or .22 dollars, six months from ship ; and 60 tons Swe dish steel:iron, 80 dollars, seven months. FRE tonTs.—Freights continue dull, as. efore quoted. The vessels on ,the berths fill up with difficulty, at 75c. per bale for cotton, 6d. per barrel for flour, zd. for corn, 10s. to 15s. for dead weight for Liverpool. To London, Glasgow, &c., small engagements 2re made at previous rates. On Wednesday, two constables went to a farm near Cloyne, Cork, and arrested the tenant, named M`Carthy, when his family and friends attacked the bailiffs, whose lives were placed in jeopardy, when one of them levelled his musket at Mr. M'Carthy, and shot him dead. A new chapel, designed for the Baptists of the town, has been opened in Wexrington. FEARGUS O'CONNOR,-Sir R. Peel was doubtless in ignorance that Ireland has no right to lay claim to the ancestry of the hon. member for Nottingham. He owes the distinguished honour of his nativity to the circum stance of the coming over from England, and settling in her southern province, of his grandfather, or, peradven ture, his great grandfather, a stout, shrewd, and active Essex man, of the name of Conyers. He had speedily become the possessor of a good estate in the county Cork, that had slipped through the fingers of some spendthrift, whose family dated in Ireland perhaps from a century before ; when its then representative had followed the fortunes of Cromwell's lieutenants in the south, as a " thorough godly" trooper, or a " chosen vessel" of a drummer • and profited accordingly, on the native Irish being robbed of their lands. The strange Sassenach name of Conyers was ere very long transformed by the Celtic tongues of his new neighbours into Connors, and thence into Connor. After the latter change, and when the penal laws had ceased to render the Milesian prefix of " 0" or " Mac" an abomination in the eyes of the " English garrison," the transition was easy to the aristo cratic and once princely title of O'Connor, in which the descendants of the worthy Essex immigrant or colonist at present delight—J. O'Connell's Recollections. OPENING OF THE NEW CHURCH, HILL STREET, TOXTETH- PARK. This church, which is dedicated to St. Matthew, was opened for divine service, under license from the bishop, on Sunday morning. The Bishop of Chester preached a sermon on the occasion in the morning, and the Rev. Fielding Ould contributed to the inauguration in a similar mode in the evening. The church, which is situated in a densely populated district, is a beautiful edifice, in the gothic style, the interior being in keeping, though totally destitute of the decorations which usually accompany it. The coup d'ceil, on entering, is calculated to impress the mind with the presence of one of the simple ecclesiastical structures of which not a few may at present be seen in the last stage of decay in some of our remote rural parishes. The whole of the lower part of the church is fitted up with benches, there being not a single pew, exc?pt in the gal lery. Consistently with the general design, there is no ceiling, the beams supporting the roof contributing their share to produce the effect of the primitive character of the whole. This character is also preserved in what may be termed the official Dart of the church ' • a space before the communion table is railed off at each side, the floor of which is slightly elevated above that of the church, and being, in fact, a tesselated pavement, tends effectively to relieve the prevriling simplicity. On this ornamental dais, so to speak, stand the pulpit and reading desk, the one on the right and the other on the left, the intermedi ate space being the approach to the communion table the pulpit is octagonal, and is supported by a single pillar, also octagonal ; the cushion and its usual appendage are of somewhat less dimension than is generally allowed to these necessary items of church furniture, and are trimmed with crimson moreen ; the reading desk is not remarkable, being destitute of any ornamental appendages. The space behind is again elevated by two steps and possesses a variegated pavement. Here the communion table stands, enclosed in a plain oak rail ; the table is wholly concealed by a covering of ample dimensions, the sombre hue of which is in some degree relieved by the letters I H S, embroidered in front and encircled in a border, the colour of which, as well as the letters, is yellow, in character with the pulpit cloth. Some time before the hour appointed for the commence= ment of the service the Lord Bishop arrived ; he was met at the door by the Rev. H. Hampton and the Rev. Mr. Brewster, the incumbent, and conducted to the vestry. Shortly afterwards, J. Bromley Moore, Esq., the Mayor, arrived in his carriage, and took his seat on one of the benches immediately in front of the reading desk, and which are destined for free seats. There were present also, Mr. Chilton, Mr. Royden, Mr. Watson, and Mr. W. Fisher, jun., town councillors, Mr. C. S. Parker, with numerous other gentlemen residing in the district, and who take a lively interest in the spiritual welfare of the locality, and all occupied seats in the body of the church. Every seat and nearly all the available standing room were taken up before the service commenced. The sittings are estimated at twelve hundred, about four hnndred of which are to be appropriated to the poor, as free seats, and many of the others will be let at very low sums. The Rev. H. Hampton ascended the reading desk, and the bishop and the incumbent took their places at the communion table ; the whole of the transverse portion of the gallery at the extreme end of the church was filled by a number of the boys and girls connected with the Blue Coat School, whose services had been solicited as a choir; and certainly they performed the chaunts and sung the hymns selected for the occasion in a style that could not fail to have impressed every person who heard them with admiration. The choir from Seacombe church also con tributed their valuable services on the occasion. The Bishop chose his text from the gospel for the day, " What think you of Christ ?" 21 Matt. and part of the 42d v. Having referred to the circumstance attending our Saviour's putting this question, and remarking that his hearers could have readily answered the proposition which staggered those to whom it was addressed, his lord ship pointed out the necessity of their consistently demon strating their knowledge of the Christian faith by contri buting of their substance to the spread of the gospel, and contrasted the easy service that was demanded from them as compared with that rendered by the founders of Chris tianity, and even at a late date by our fathers. In refer ence to the church in which they were assembled, be re marked that it was one of thi ee which about three years ago were designed by a number of benevolent individuals to meet, in some degree, the crying spiritual destitution which existed in that locality ; that church had heen com pleted, and it was thought that it should not remain use lass ; he (the bishop) had therefore taken the only cour Gpen to him ; he had granted a temporary license in the hope that before the expiration of the term of that license the charitably disposed will have furnished such a sum as might be required for the permanent endowment of the church, without which it could not be consecrated. The discourse was of au order seldom listened to, and told with thrilling effect on every one present. There can only be one opinion of the talents and piety of our excellent bishop. In the evening the church was again crowded to excess, the majority of the congregation being composed of the humbler classes. The sum of £45 was collected. We understand that a piece of land at the corner of Hill-street and Berkeley-street has been purchased on very advan tageous terms. the erection of a second church, the building of which will be proceeded with as soon as the committee are placed in funds to enable them prudently to commence operations. ST. ANNE'SICHURCH, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,—I have been informed that the Health Committee have made a report that interments take place within St. Anne's Church. I shall be obliged to you if you will be kind enough to contradict it. Interments never have ta :e: Glace within St. Anne's Church, and they never will, for it is expressly forbidden in the act of parliament under which the church was erected. I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, WM. WHEELER. Incumbent of St. Anne's. 28, Gildart-street, sth October, 1849. BEACOMIS -- E FERRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD SIR,-A letter, signed " A Ratepayer," again appears in the Albion of yesterday, reiterating that the proprietors of Egreniont Ferry were negotiating with us for the sale of our lease. We should not have noticed this, had it not appeared twice in a public print ; but now we feel it our duty to our friends and the public to give a flat con tradiction to the letter signed " ARatepayer.". JOHN AND RICHARD PARRY. Seacombe, Bth October, 1849. REVISION OF THE MUNICIPAL LIST OF VOTERS.— The Mayor and the Revising Assessor, Mr. J. Yates, jun., and . Mr. T. Atkinson. held a court yesterday for the revision of the municipal list of voters, at the Sessions house. There were, in the whole, only 14 claims; and the objections were as follow :—Everton, 17; St. Paul's ward, 24 ; Exchange ward, 142 ; St. Peter's ward, 11 ; Great George ward, 9, making a total of claims and objec tions of only 217. Tile result of the day's proceedings was—Objections admitted in Everton ward, 8 ; St. Paul's, 19 ; Exchange, 73; St. Peter's, 10 ; and St. George's, 4. The claims substantiated were— Everton, 1 ; Kirkdale, 1.; Scotland, 1, and Exchange, 2. SCOTLAND WARD.—We believe that the committee appointed to select a candidate for this ward have fixed upon Mr. John Bigham ; but so dissatisfied are many of the• electors with the selection, that they have resolved to bring forward Mr. Wm.. Roxburgh, who is a highly respect able resident in the ward, and a gentleman well qualified to represent the interests of his intended constituents in the Council. Mr. Roxburgh is a churchman, an anti- Pikeist, and a dock-rater, and is so popular in the ward that he will most likely obtain an easy victory, especially as his opponent, from his narrow-minded sectarian pre judices. is not likely to meet with any considerable amount of support. NORTH AND SOUTH TOXTETH WARDS.—A meeting of the burgesses of these wards was held last night in the Toxteth Hall, Mill-street, for the purpose of approving of the nomination of Mr. Richard Harbord and Mr. Thomas Lloyd, as representatives in council. It being supposed that no opposition would be offered, the meeting was at first but thinly attended, and promised to be a mere for mal affair. Ultimately, however, it became crowded, and in consequence or some opposition offered by a gentleman present, the proceedings took an uniooked-for turn, and were prolonged to a late hour. Eventually Mr. Lloyd was proposed hy Mr. Plow, seconded by Mr. Joseph Har rison. Mr. Harbord's nomination was moved by Mr. Mr. L. Jones, seconded by Mr. Gregson, and supported by Mr. J. It. Jefery. An amendment, substituting Mr. W. J. Horsfall for Mr. Harbord, was moved by Mr. Bet teley, and seconded by Mr. Batten. The amendment upon Using put, was negatived, and the original motion was carried unanimously, and by acclamation. _ . , FATAL PRIZE FWHT.—On Sunday night week, sub inspector Sandford apprehended n man, named Thomas Welsh, at his lodgings, Lad-lane, Deansgate, Manches ter, under a warrant charging him with being a bottle holder in the fight which lately took place, and in which one of the combatants, Richard Lilley, was killed. He was brought n 9 at the New Bailey on the following morning, when the offence was proved, and he was com mitted to the assizes. He was matched to fight that day fortnight with another man, for £lO aside. We heed hardly say that this fight will be prevented. Jw FOR IT—HOW TO GET OUT OF IT.-OIICe on 8 time there was a gentleman who won an elephant in a raffle. It was a very fine elephant, and very cheap at the price the gentleman paid for his chance. But the gentleman had no place to put it in. Nobody would take it off his hands. He couldn't afford to feed it. He was afraid of the law if he turned it loose into the streets. He was too humane to let it starve. He was afraid to shoot it. In short, he was in a perplexity very natural to a gentleman with—moderate means, a small house, common feelings of humanity—and an elephant. France has won her elephant at Rome. She has brought back the Pope. She is at her wits' end what to do with him. She can't abet the Pope and the Cardinals, because she interfered in the cause of liberty. She can't abet the Republican, because she interfered in the cause of the Pope and the Cardinals. She can't act with Austria, because Austria is absolutist. She can't act against Austria, because France is conservative and peaceful. She can't continue her army in Rome, because it is not treated with respect. She can't withdrr w her army from Rome, because that would be to stultify herself. She can't go forward, be. cause she insisted on the Roman people going backward. She can't go backward, because the French people insist on her going forward. She can't choose the wrong, be cause public opinion forces her to the right. She can't choose the right, because her own dishonesty has forced her to the wrong. In one word, she is on the horns of a dilemma, and more she twists, the more sharply she feels the points on which she is impaled, like a cockchafer in a I cabinet, for the inspection of the curious in the lighter and more whirligig species of political entomology. Poor France—will nobody take her precious bargain off her hands ? Rome is her bottle imp. She bought it dear enough, but cau't get rid of it "at any price." THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary to this valuable Society was held last night, in the Lecture Hall of the Collegiate Institution, which was crowded by a highly respectable audience. The Lord Bishop of Chester took the chair at half-past six, and the presence of his lordship appeared to give the utmost possible satisfaction. His lordship is evidently anxious to forward the interests of every society calculated to advance the temporal and spiritual welfare of our fellow-creatures whatever perso nal exertion be may have to encounter to enable him to do so. Among others we noticed the following clergymen and gentlemen on the platform :—Rev. Archdeacon Brooks, Reads. Dr. Byrth, W. W. Ewbank, W. Rawson, J. Cordeaux, H. Hampton, Dr. Carpenter, Hy. Car penter, Thos. Carter, B. A. Marshall, J. S, Boutflower, F. Parry, T. C. Cowan, H. Marlen, F. Barker, H. Mosse. T. Whalley, Faulkner, Butler, Knill, (of Chester ), Blrrell, Stamp, Hughes, K'rkns, Kelly, Brown, Edwards, Liddell. Messrs. Crook, Rimmer, Stitt, Houghton, Griffith, Payne, Maples, John Cropper, Blackburn, Eden, Mill, Cooper, Moore, W. S. Crook, Inman, &c., &c. The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the evening, spoke nearly as follows :—My Christian friends, the purpose for which we are met together does not require from me any lengthened explanation. This society has existed for many years, and its objects are fully understood. We are met together in the humble hope that God's blessing will attend us, and allow us to be in some measure the humble instruments in his hands for promoting the spread of the gospel of His blessed Son throughout the various countries of the world. We act upon the broad principle that the book we distribute is the Word of God, and the Book of Life. No doubt it con tains in it things hard to be understood, things which, from their very nature, are beyond our power to compre hend or grasp; but happy ought we to be to know t hat it also contains things easy to be understood, and these are the things which concern and belong to our everlasting peace. (Hear and cheers.) Whatever may be obscure in the merciful offer of pardon and acceptance to all those who with true repentance and true faith, turn to Chris tianity—(hear, hear)—the humblest, if he reads and studies it with an honest heart, cannot lay if down with out learning from it welcome and saving truths. There are many present here, I make no doubt, who, from mo tives of humanity and Christian charity, visit occasionally the dwellings of the poor. Those who have done so must have experienced, as I have done myself, what a difference it makes in one's own feelings, and what a difference there is in their humble dwellings when we find the Bible there. if we see the aged bending over the sacred pages of that book, and consulting its promises at the close of their life, or, if what is not unfrequently the case, we see the young reading this blessed volume to their parents — we have a happy hope of what the rising generation in such a family is aspiring to, and in either case—to see either the one case or the other which I have named, is indeed a gratifying and a delightful sight. The bible society has been the means of spreading this religious feeling in our own country, and also beyond our own country, amongst the various nations of the earth. Wherever the bible is found, it is found to be a savour of life in times of trouble; and we cannot say what it may not be doing at this moment—we cannot say how far it may not be the means of conveying comfort to many who are now suffering from the hardships and troubles of the world. Let me just mention one instance, not, perhaps, directly connected with the Bible Society, but certainly directly connected with the distribution of the Bible. Before Sir John Franklin left this country, for his adventurous expedition to the polar seas, that gallant man applied to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and begged to be supplied from them with Bibles and other religious books, for the use of his crew. Four years, and more than four years have elapsed since that expedition sailed. It has been a long time, a very long time, during which no tidings have been heard of that gallant crew, nor any thing respecting them, come to the knowledge of their families. Many a heart has been sad, and many a tear fallen during the uncertainty that has prevailed, and I fear I must say, the uncertainty that still hangs over their doubtful situation. But just at the present moment —and God grant it may be realised--the hope has been revived, that the long-lost crew are safe ; and if it should please God to bring them once more to their native land, they will be received with acclamation when they again touch on the English shores, and will be wel comed home again with joy by all their countrymen ; and it may be confidently hoped, that not the least gratifying of what we shall have to learn from them, will be, that what sustained them most in all their trials and in all their privations, was that book of God which they carried with them from our shores, and which en abled them to trust in his providence, and which sus tained them in all their afflictions. May his guardian hand lead them back in safety, and restore them to their homes and their friends. I will not detain you longer than to say, that in requesting the secretary to read the report to you. I hope that God will bless our efforts, and that he will render this society an instrument in spread ing the Saviour's gospel wider and wider abroad. The right rev. prelate resumed his seat amidst loud cheering. The Rev. R. DAVIES, one of the clerical secretaries, next read the report, of which the following is the sub stance : _ . " The report, after alluding with thankfulness to their being allowed to meet once more, and to the solemn visi tation of pestilence, recorded with feelings of sincere regret the removal by death of two very valued members of the society, John Priestley, Esq., and Robert Job, Esq., whose urbane and Christian tempers, and whose attention to the general interests of the society will be long re tained in the minds of the committee, The total issues of the Scriptures by the Society since its commencement amount to 21,973,355. Many openings for the distribu tion of the Scriptures have been made by the recent con tinental disturbances. In Turin, where by the new con stitution the Bible is not allowed to be printed, 1000 co pies have been circulated, and here none were previously accessible to the people. In Milan, Genoa, and Nice, all strongholds opposed to the entrance of the Bible, a large distribution has been effected. But the crowning success has been in Italy. In Rome itself the scriptures have been printed, the same has taken place in Florence, and the whole of the peninsula is thirsting for the streams of pure truth. Post after post from Italy brings demands loud, earnest, large for supplies, not of hundreds, but of thousands. And should the church of Rome again resume her sway there, she will find the sword of the spirit un sheathed to meet her. The annual subscriptions of this auxiliary for the past year amount to £398 95., being £24 more than the receipts from that source in 1847, and £lO 10s. have been received since the accounts were made up. The donations last year, including legacies, amounted to £209. The legacies were the following : Miss Cordelia Ellison, £l9 19s. ' • Mr. Stephens, £lOO. ; Mrs. Hill, Cla rence-street, £2l. The contributions of the Ladies' Branch for the last year amounted to £166 17s. 9d., being £B9 less than the previous year. This branch has for several years been declining. The committee again ex press their regret that so few ladies are willing to enrol themselves as collectors. The amount received from the sale of books last year was £519, being £7l less than the previous year. From the country associations £283 13s. 4d . has been received. but this is £69 less than the year before. Of this, Wallasey contributed £3O 17s. ; Warertree, £31.; Prescot, £26; St. Helens, £4 B ; Southport, £75 ; Orms kirk, £l4. The mechanics among Mr. Haigh's workmen ' contributed last year £lO Bs. 11 d. The only collection made in any place of worship was at St. Clement's Church, and the amount received was £4. The Welsh Branch remitted through the committee £4OO, which has been acknowledged with devout thankfulness by the parent so ciety. From all these combined streams the auxiliary has received £2,251, being £3l less than the year 1847. The number of copies of the Bible distributed by the auxiliary and its branches amounted last year to 14,409, being 1,337 less than in the year before. The total of its issues since its establishment in 1811 amount to 385,545. To fifteen vessels sailing from this port, 134 Bibles and 273 Testa ments have been given. A sub-committee has been ap pointed to visit the hotels and other similar establish ments, and the most pleasing results have followed. A colporteur has also been engaged, who has entered on'his labours with zeal and energy, an,d his success is most marked and encouraging,and plans are laid out for further operations in the good cause. The report concluded with an urgent appeal to the public to use increased efforts in support of the society. The TREASURER (Mr. E. Cropper) then read the state ment of the accounts, shewing a balance in the bank of £240 16s. 7d. The Rev. W. W. EWBANK, who was warmly greeted, moved the first resolution adopting the report. The rev. gentleman could not see how they could object to receive the report then read, after hearing of the great circula tions which the society had been able to give to the bles sed Word of God. He bad been interested in this society by his parents since his childhood. The Lord Bishop had said that the greatestduty of man was the circulation of God's Holy Word, which contained the essentials of sal vation. We all acknowledged that the Bible did contain the essentials of religion. We had revealed to us our sinful state, and the mode of our complete release from such sin. But it was not to convey to us the know ledge of these essentials alone that the Bible was written. We circulated the Bible, for one reason, because men in this day were struggling to acquire knowledge, and we have yet to learn that we are forbidden to use our reason to enable us to obtain such knowledge. The rev. gentle man went on to show that astronomers had been charged with advancing doctrines which were said to be opposed to the Bible's teaching, but argued that the Bible had never been intended to teach astronomy or philosophy of any description. We knew that what the Scriptures taught us was true; and any denial of this we accounted to be blasphemy. The religious books of some of the sects in India erred in the scientific doctrines taught ; and hence when those who had studied them became acquainted with science as developed by English intellect, they found that they had imbibed false principles of science, and, became infidels in religion. Another reason why be was anxious for the circulation of the Bible, was, that it led us to no wild speculations. It told us what was sufficient to us both of the past and the future—it was emphatically a lamp to our feet. It taught us that the great curse upon us was through sin. and that now is the accepted time, and that now is the day of salvation ; and on this ac count, amongst others, it was that he had pleasure in moving the resolution The Rev. RICHARD KNILL, of Chester, seconded the resolution, and stated that his own hand had assisted in the circulation of 40,000 copies of the Bible, having been connected with the British and Foreign Bible Society since his boyhood. He gave a most interesting anecdote of his acquaintance with a translator of the Bible, wrecked on the shores of Coromandel, whilst he was stationed there, and of a crucifixion which the party had once witnessed in the Birman Empire, drawing from his anecdote a strong ground for liberal efforts to circulate the Word of Jesus, who had endured for us the torments which he bad described. Referring to the labours of the Missionaries in the South Sea Islands, the rev. gentle man reminded his hearers of the saying that every hour o f the day the prayers, of the world should rise up to heaven, and remarked that at this moment it was eight o'c'ock in these antipodean regions ; that time was six hours behind English time in Calcutta, and two hours before it in St. Petersburgh. His lordship had spoken of the effect of the circulation of the Bible in the cottages of the poor. He was glad to hear that expression. It showed that his lordship had visited the cottages of the poor. (Hear, hear.) After some affecting remarks upon instances of the effects of the operations of the society, the rev. gentlem an concluded by an ardent eulogium on the Right Rev. the Bishop. The resolution was carried unanimously. The Rev. Dr. BYRTH moved the next resolution, ex pressing the thanks of the meeting to God for the success which had attended the operations of the society. The rev. gentleman offered in support of the resolution a few remarks only, havieg been at a late hour called upon to occupy the place of a rev. brother. Having expressed his gratification at seeing the Right Rev. Bishop of his own church taking the chair on this occasion, he reminded the meeting of the efforts of a former occupant of the see— Bishop Porteus—in behalf of the society, and expressed his trust that his lordship, the present bishop, would long be spared to follow in his steps, and to occupy his chair. The rev. gentleman concluded by a few most pertinent comments on the report, and especially upon the success ful efforts of the society in the city of Rome, under the shadow of the dome of St. Peter's itself. There the word of God is now published in the vernacular, where, al though they say that they possess the best copy of the scriptures extant, they have never given to the people a copy of the Greek Testament. He had come to give his testimony in behalf of the society, although in ill health. He had, when young, though not so young as his friend, Mr. Ewbank, been turned by a speech from a Bible Society's platform from a scoffing opponent to a sincere and determined supporter of this society. The right rev, CHAIRMAN said the secretary had just communicated to him a circumstance which he was sure they would all receive with the same degree of regret which he (the Chairman) felt on learning it, It was relating to the absence of Dr. M'Neile,—(cheers)—a person, he believed, who had never failed to be on that platform when his voice could be heard in promoting the spread of the gospel, and the glory of Almighty God. From some reason, which was not very distinctly under stood, he had not yet appeared on the platform • but he felt certain that some circumstance must h ave accidentally arisen to deprive the society of that gentleman's valuable support on the occasion ; for it was well known that he was an ardent supporter of every good work of this kind, and that he had long been a warm advocate of the propa gation of the scriptures. (Hear.) After passing a high eulogium upon the talents of the rev, gentleman, the right rev. speaker said that they had often listened to the elec trifying addresses of Dr. M•Neile ; and should he arrive during the evening, (of which he had not much hope, from the lateness of the hour,) he hoped he would be listened to with that attention which he always com manded, notwithstanding the audience might be some what weary. (This delicate compliment to Dr. Wisreile was received with much applause.) Here a collection was made in aid of the funds, amounting to X 43 7s. 6d. _ _ The ReV . . J. CORDEAUX moved the next resolution. He expressed his thankfulness to God that he was a member of the society. He felt it to be a high privilege to mingle in such a work with persons of any denomina tion who looked to the word of God as their guide. It was only by the spirit of God that any good could be done; and let them therefore pray that those who read the Scriptures might understand them. Let them be stead fast and immoveable in their course, and the y would suc ceed in the strength of the Lord. He proposed a resolu tion of thanks to the retiring officers of this branch of the society, and the names of others for the ensuing year. The secretary read the names, which included many of our respected townsmen. Mr. THOS. JOHNSON BOURNE, the agent of the so ciety, seconded the resolution. He had worked with the good men and true, whose names had been read, for the period of 11 years. He had attended two previous meet ings at which the friends of the Society filled the Music Hall ; and he now rejoiced that they filled the large and elegant building in which he then was. He thanked the committee for their valuable services, and the friends . of the society for their kindly support. 2 4.. withstanding the pressure of the times, the f rcls were but £l9 short of the amount of the previous ye,, . He stated that he had received the utmost support in various localities where he lately travelled ; the contri butions had been most liberal. He was now at the 176th meeting, having the same object, within the last twelve months. The Liverpool branch bad, he felt convinced, not yet reached its zenith. The circulation of the Scrip tures had, in 44 years, been far beyond all expectation ; and 91,000 had been circulated lately in Ireland. It was the only society that had printed the entire Bible in the original Irish language. Vast numbers of copies, in English and other languages, had been circulated in our free schools, on board of ships, and amongst emigrants to all parts of the world. The effect, even in the settlements at the Cape of Good Hope, had been (as he himself had witnessed) most gratifying—the inhabitants travelling with Bibles every quarter, and making a week's journey, to attend religious meetings. The Scriptures had been translated by the society into 140 languages and dialects. The 3ible Society is not, however, a translating society ; that part of the work devolved chiefly upon the mission aries and ministers employed by them. The society found the paper and the printing. (The speaker related a variety of interesting facts relating to the successful operations of the friends and missionaries of the society in many foreign lands.) England Lad been of bte yan the refuge for the destitute, even royalty, &c., anti she was enabled to do so because she was a Bible-loving and a merciful people. He alluded especially to the island of Tahiti, the inhabitants of which had, in return for some Bibles received by them, contributed about £4OO to the funds. He afterwards related other anecdotes, illustra tive of the good effects of the working of the society, and sat down amidst much applause. On the motion of the Rev. Dr. Carpenter, seconded hr John Cropper, Esq., the thanks of the meeting were voted to the Right Rev. Chairman, amidst loud cheering, which ceatinued for some moments. His Lordship having replied in an appropriate speech, the meeting broke up about half-past nine o'clock. The following letter from Dr. M‘Neile, which suffici ently explains the cause of his absence from the meeting, was unfortunately not received by the Rev. R. Davies, to whom it was addressed, until that gentleman's return home from the meeting, when he immediately forwarded it to us for publication. " Aigburth, Monday, Oct. Sth, 1849. " Dear Mr. Davies, " Last week when I was invited by Mr. Maples, on , behalf of your committee, to take part in the proceedings of your meeting this evening, I told him of an engage ment I bad for Monday evening, which would render it impossible for me to be long at the meeting; but that if I could render any assistance at the beginning of the pro ceedings, in time to keep my engagement, I would gladly go. This, 1 perceive, has not been compatible with your other arrangements. This I perceive has not been compatible with your other proceedings. This morning I have your letter of Saturday, inviting me to second the second resolution. As it would be quite impossible for me to keep my en gagement, after being the fourth speaker at the meeting, I am compelled, reluctantly, to decline. If any public announcement has been made of my in tention to be present, you will oblige me by reading this letter to the meeting. 1 am, dear Mr. Davies, Yours very faithfully, HUGH WNEILE. Rev. Robert Davies. METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER, BY MR. C. H. CHADBURN, 71, LORD-STREET.

We marked the letter of "A Member of the National Confe deration" for insertion, but had to withdraw it at a late hour. The letter of "An Elector of North Toxteth Wird" sir omitted through a press of local reports last night. On Saturday, a child, named Mary Halton, aged five years and a half, was put to bed with its parents livin g in Lawrence-street, and in the morning was found dead, having been overlain. On Thursday last, an infant, named Patrick Monaghan, died in its mother's arms, on board a steamer, whilst on the passage from Ireland to this Port. The mother co vered her child with her cloak, but found the little thing dead when she again came to behold it. POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—At the monthly meeting of this society last night, Mr. Knight read an interesting paper on a new apparatus for regulating the flow of water from cisterns, which seems to advance the sanatory im provements. GALVANISM.—The following is extracted from the Court Journal of January 29 :—" It is now about four years since that we informed our readers it was to be re gretted galvanism was not more extensively used as a . remedial agent. We have every reason to believe that our advice was attended to, for in a comparatively short time Mr. Halse's residence was crowded with the elite of fashion and their less fortunate fellow-sufferers, and we feel confident, judging from the astonishing remedial effects it has produced on ourselves, after all kinds of medicine and hydropathy had failed to impart an 3 benefit, that the public will thank us for our recommendation. We were delighted to notice, a short time since, that Mr. liaise was patronised by the Lord Bishop of London and Sir Charles Clark, his lordshiptiliEEripATl,Valse's great reforms in the galvanic lijipircliusi,Ati ligV4roved method of application, justly eiiiit'idtleiitifilakrianigliest t in the profession.
