" It was the duty of the members of the Church of England, upon leaving the territory of that church, to conform them selves to the laws of the church unto whose limits they passed, if that church was a branch of the holy apostolical church. One of the articles of the church was the right and duty of the church to devise rites and ceremonies for itself, and those who subscribed to that article admitted that the Church of Scotland had a right to have its own ceremonies. Therefore, if any one of his clergymen were to contradict that doctrine in an open and public manner, he should feel it his duty to institute pro. ceedings against him. (Laughter.)"—Speech of the Bishop of Exeter in the House of Lords, on Tuesday. Such, Mr. Editor, are the sentiments which a Bishop of the Church of England had the audacity to propound in the British House of Peers, and such the reception which they met from that august assembly. It is well known that the Scottish Episcopal Church, which his lordship is pleased to designate the Church of Scotland, retains some forms which are thought by several of our bishops to savour strongly of Rornanism. Consequently, many members of the Church of England, resident in Scotland, refuse to enter into communion with a church which they hold to be unscriptural in itA form. The speech from which the above extract was taken was made by the Bishop of Exeter in reference to a petition presented by Lord Brougham from clergymen of the English Church in Scotland, praying to be relieved from cc It is, however, unnecessary to enter at present into th_ merits of the petition. Any one who reads the debates in parliament must be acquainted with its purport ; and every one who knows the Bishop of Exeter must expect to find him arrayed on the side of intolerance and injustice. Inaccuracy in the statement of facts, perversion of the articles of our church, and tyrannical sentiments, do not much surprise us in anything proceeding front the Bishop of Exeter. Yet it must be confessed that, in the present instance, his lordship has somewhat exceeded his usual limits. The Church of England claims for herself, and concedes to other churches, the power of ordaining rites and ceremonies, which '" may be changed according to the diversities of countries, times, and men's manners ;" hat there is a restriction annexed—" So tkat noth!ng be 'ordained against tztnt's word." This it suited his lord ship's convenience to omit, though to some minds it Imav seem not altogether.unirnportant Let us suppose, however, that a member of the Church of England goes into a country where the only Christian church is the Church of Rome—a church which his lord ship will not deny to be apostolicat—then, according to the teaching Of this ghostly father, it becomes the duty of such a person to conform to all the usages'ef Rome — usages which the right rev. prelate has sworn to be idola trous. Certainly the Protestant who could act in confor mity with 'this advice, though far from being " a noisy brawler,' ' might justly be suspected of being rather " care less about truth." His lordship seems to scoff at the claims of the Esta blished Church of Scotland 'to be considered a church at all. Why ? Because, indeed, it has no separate order of bishops. His lordship appears to forget that the Church of Rome, on whose apostolicity his lordship rests the va liditrot his own ordination, has not, and never had, an order higher than that of priests. In the Church of Rome the ordaining power is delegated to one priest out of'many, and this priest is styled a bishop, without, how ever, any diversity of 'order. In the Church of Scotland, 'that is, the Established Church, 'the ordaining power is delegated to all priests alike. Now, if no church be apos 'tolical which has not a separate order of bishops, the `Church of Rome cannot beapostcilical, and, consequently, 'according to his lordship's old=fashioned notions about apostolical succession, the orders of the Church of Eng land, being der►ved through the Romish Church, are at once invalidated. But if a 'Church may be apostolictil without a separate order of bishops, why deny the Esta blished Church -of Scotland - to be so ? Surely his` lord ship, who is so 'great an advocate for ecclesiastical power, would be the last man to deny that a church may dele gate the ordaining power toranv proportion of her priests, or to all of them, according to her own discretion. His Lordship's opinions might safely pass 'unnoticed. We have no wish to seasny good cause damaged' by his name and approval, and , bad cause can bear with it no better reputation. If itbe right, however, to do at.home as Rome does, his 'Lordship might see the'propriety of doing in England as England does. Or if he is deter mined to outrage propriety every where else,. let 'him, at least, have some respect for the British Senate-house. Let this fßolus confine'his vauntings to his own -diocese, and there let him terrify his trembling -curates. His " fantastic tricks," whatever sorrow they 'may cause to his afflicted clergy, can only make their Lortithips laugh. If he cannot be a great man, let him strive:to be a gen tleman. 'lf he cannot attain to eminence by his abili ties and-virtues,: let him rather court obscurity, than seek notoriety as an ecclesiastical despot. I add .my name, •merely to show that• public opinion cannot be stifled even by Henry of Exeter. So long as his Lordship is not ashamed to avow streli , sentiments, so long-•the humblest-curate in the land shall not be afraid to think of them, and speak of them, and-write of them, as theys-deserve.--c-Inemain, sir, your obedient Servant, ROBERT M. WOODS, Curate of St. Simon's, Liverpool. SCRIP' L'URE PREDICTIOT Mu& has been-said, and deservedly said, of the judg ment end skill in interpretation shown by Fleming, in naming, in 1701, the year 1848 as probably the last year of Papal domination. But it should not be overlooked that other writers `besides Fleming, by,a similarly careful study of Scripture, have arrived at nearly the same con clusion. Thomas Scott; for instance, the great-commentator of the present century, in the third edition of his commen tary, published inlBo9, thus wrote: — "ON REVELATIONS XVl.—The angels - were -next ordered, by VOiCe from the temple, to pour out the contents of the vials, or cups, which they had received ; and which were emblems Of the wrath of God to be poured out on the antiehristian empire, and on all who adhered to it." " These vials mark the gradual desolation of :the 'Boman church, and of the antichristian tyranny of the kingdoms which support it." " The whole passage has been interpreted of the bloody trans actions in France, and on the continentovhich have occurred during.these last eighteen o- twenty years 111 9-1809). But the stage on which these tragedies have been acted, seems not large enough for thecoinpletion of the prophecy. France and the countries connected with it form only part of the kingdom of the Beast; and several countries connected with it have hitherto been littleaffected." " I have some doubt, whether the time for the pouring mit of the vials is arrived, or whether it will arrive till after-TA E MIDDLE OF THIS CENTURY." "Ter rible calamities, -intestine distractions, and the revolt (or destruction of cities and nations, will make way for great Babylon to drink of the wine of the fierceness La God's wrath. How this is to be understood the event must , show." It is, however, clear thab - couvulsions, revolutions, a n d th e wrec k o f nations, a degree and extent never liithertmwitriessed, are to be expected, before the mystery of God' is ,finished." Thus wrote Mr.*:Scott, at the opening of the present century. Theremas every temptation, at that time, to discover, in the French Revolution, and in.-the power of Bonaparte. the "fulfillment of some of St. John's predic tions. But Mr. Scott had strength of mind enough to resist these suggestions. and to deliver his calm and well considered-opinion, that not until the middle .. of the cen tury would the vials begin to be poured out. To that period, the middle of the century, are we now come; and we are beginning to perceive the opening of those awful events which Mr. Scott indicated more than forty years ago. THE LATE GREAT FIRE IN GLASGOW We have on several occasions published the most grati fying testimonials to the efficacy of the fire proof safes manufactured by Messrs. 'Milner and Son, of this town, but probably on no occasion has a more satisfactory proof of their perfect capability-been given than is afforded in the following document, from a highly respectable firm in Glasgow, which certifies to the safety of some important books and papers during one of the most iestructive fires that have occurred in that town for many years : . •Glasvow, 7th May, 1849. GENTLEMEN,—We beg toinform you of the occurrence acme of the largest fires thatlas taken place in Glasgow for many years. We send you, however, a HPrald of this date, which will give particulars. As you will perceive, there have been a great many buildings burned down, in cluding a sugar refinery, a church, and several manufacto ries oftlifferent kinds, including the extensive premises of Messrs. Charles Boyd and Son, soap and candle manufac turers:; they had one of your No. ,3 safes with drawers, got from us about five years ago, and the writer, having called upon them this morning, was.perfectly astonished at the sight:it presented : first of all, the brass handle was completely melted off, and the sides of the safe, at least of the lower.part, had blistered out nearly.scouple of inches. The heat to which this safe has been exposed must have been tremendous ' • it fell from the counting-h ouse on th e ground floor to the cellars beneath, and there lay for hours exposed to the most intense heat from the boiling and flaming oil and ,lallow, in which it was imbedded to the depth of three or four inches. All the papers and books with which it was filled, and also notes to a considerable amount, were perfectly sound ; the large ledger, which must have been touching the door, was very slightly charred en the back, but nothing more than the binding in the least affected, and no other book was even in the slightest degree damaged; all of them ,however, weze pene trated about an inch on the edge by the steam of the oil ; where the safe lay was beyond all doubt the hottest part of the conflagration ; the hinges were so far gone, that when the Messrs. B. wished the safe opened, they were raised with the greatest ease by the point of a chisel ; all the brass work round the lad( was melted away, and the key could not be got into it, on account of the keyhole being so completely put out of shape; the bolt held per fectly, however, and the two nobs at the b ac k o f th e d oor kept it fast, independent of hinges. On account of the absence of the principal, no certificate could be got this morning of this splendid test of the complete and perfect resistance which your valuable safes present against the ravages of fire ; it will, however, be procured this evening, and duly forwarded to you for your satisfaction to-morrow. We are, gentlemen, y ours very respectfully, DAVID BOYD and CO., Pro JOHN BOYD. Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son. NEW ZEALAND. — Auckland papers aro to hand to the end of Derember, 1849.

POLICE.COURT-YESTERDAY. IRISH MENDICANCY.—As usual, a number of these cases were heard, nor was there wanting the general con comitants of such cases. One man, Thomas Paul, though presenting the average exterior of destitution, was pos sessed of five shillings and sevenpence when found begging. COMMITTALS.—John Mack, for obtaining under false shetences two cigar cases and contents from the shop of Mrs. Crompton, Basnett-street.—John Sudell, a lad of respectable appearance, for stealing a watch from the house of Air. Lloyd, Pembroke-street.--Also a prostitute, for stealing a watch from a young man named Wm. Dutton, in Church-street, on Sunday night about eleven o'clock. STEALING BUILDING MATERIALS.—An Irish girl was charged with stealing a quantity of stone from the ruins of St. Matthias' church, the building materials forming which present a great temptation to the starving wretches now prowling the streets in such numbers. The value of the whole property was required to be estimated, prior to the infliction of any punishment on the thief. INTENDED SUICIDE.—About half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning, constable 983 saw a man without either hat or coat, making for the canal bank, from Burlington street. The officer having captured the man after a chase, discovered that he was drunk, and further, that he was intent on self-destruction. On being put into the dock be gave his name William Fagan ; he had the appearance of a working man, and seemed to have a due sense of the ridiculous caricature he had made of himself. STONE THROWING. —A great number of lads were placed before Mr, Rushton, charged with " warring " with stones. The penalty was imposed in every instance, Mr, Rushton being determined to suppress a nuisance which has become intelerable in certain districts. To give nne idea of the scale on which operations are carried on, it may be stated that a few officers appre hended no less than sixteen lads engaged in this danger- ous pastime, on the canel banks. Another juvenile offence, of scarcely less enormity, and generally com mitted on Sundays, is that of " pitch and toss." IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Peter M`Govern, a lad not twelve years old, was placed in the dock. A girl of 17 or 18, having the appearance of a person of the hum bler class, attired in her best apparel, stated that about eleven o'clock that morning she was walking through Queen-square, when the boy came up, and snatching at the beads round her neck, tore them away ••,, he also con trived to take the comb from her head, and attempted to get her handkerchief also. The operation was the work of a moment and displayed a considerable amount of effrontery and skill on the part of the perpetrator, espe cially when it is remembered that he is u mere child. DARING ROBBERY.—On the 4th last., a groom in the service of Mr. Harvey, of Ireland, a gentleman well known on the turf, crossed from the Chester side in charge , of two valuable horses, the cloths required for these valuable animals, and his , own luggage. While the young man's attention was absorbed in safely landing the 'horses, the other property was carried off. Since then the police have been on the alert, and have at length succeeded in capturing an Irishman, named John O'Neil, on"wtom a number of pawn tickets relating to the miss ing property were found 'inconsequence; the bulk of it comprising boots, shoes, trousers, horse cletlis,tkc.Szc. have been recovered and traced to O'Neil, who was com mitted for trial. UNFOUNDED CEIA.noE.--Michael Pepperton, a gentish 'looking young Irishman, accompanied by a witness of more aristocratic mien, , (said to be the son of a magistrate of Ireland,) stepped into the witness box to charge Wm. Collopy and his wife with having robbed him of seven or eight sovereigns, on Sunday night. The prisoners, who are persons of respectable appearance, keep a -lodging house in Porter -street, the same at which -Gleeson, the reputed murderer, lodged ptior to committing the crime laid to his alarm Pepperton, when before The magis trate, stated that Mrs. Collopy had taken the - money from his pocketin -the yard,. though he did•not see her in the act. When the policetnan went into the hose, between one and two •o'clock this morning, a purse, containing five sovereigns, was handed to him by Collopy, on whose person three other sovereigns were found in bridewell; some money 'was also taken from the female. Collopy stated that there-was a general row in - his house on the night in question, and that he found the purse under a tea-pot, and - supposed it might have;been abstracted , by some of the company. The case was , dismissed, with - an order -to restore the money to the complainant. A rAcTroNf 3H T.—Sven 'lrishmen, of as many varie ties of type of 'Celtic countenance and Celtic inisery,,and whose names:appeared on the police-sheet to be, Martin Callahan, -James Kelly, Michael Callahan, John nagan, Miehadi M'Cormick,Pwrielaliggins, and. Edward Kenny, were charged with a riot, and assaulting the police. The:prisoners constituted:as many of oneside of two bodies of =combatants as half a, dozen policemen: were able to . capture. From what transpired it seems' that for several nights -a faction fight between the,natives of Mayo atd Sliv-has , been raging in Martin-street, Scotland-road, and the neighbourhood, with all the ferocity atterant on an Trish outbreak. Constable - 651 appeared with his head 'bandaged, rendered necessary fi•ora% blow he received by a stone, whilst endeavouring 4ocuiet the distattance on Saturday evening, at half-pa.t nine o'clock, and another onicer produced a number of- deadly weapons, such as pokers;%whielt were used by theinfuriated rnffians in the onslaught. _As they were giving their evidence, the offi cers identified the leader of the opposing faction in the court. Mr. Rushton immediately ordered 'him to be taken into custody ; his name isMuckley ; he is a middle aged man, and a pensioner. The scene; as-described by the police, which these fiery people have been enacting on -several evenings of late is truly fearful, and being such as to -place the entire neighbourhood in danger; itwas stated that the paving -stones have been actually taken-up during The day, and reserved for use-as missiles ataaight ; and , Superintendent Anders stated that nothing in his experi ence equalled it, except it were the old feuds-at Lace's street, " though it exceeded them." Another witness 'stated that the origin was to-be traced to the circum 1-stance of a-cellar having been let to one of the party; jthe owner of which refused to allow it to be applied as the , occupant desired, which might be understood from the 'fact of her having, soon after she got possession, introdu ced a piper -and a number of disreputable characters, who aroused the neighbours with their boisterous revels. Mr. : - .Rushton, after addressing a few words to the -prisoners, the purport of which was that'he regarded it as a scandal upon the mem before him, that they could be guilty of such barbarities, whilst so many of . their poor countrymen were starving, and assuring -them we should not submit to have the peace of ;Liverpool disturbed by their lawless bghtings, fined tthe whole seven men .C 5 each.—A female was then -called to give evidence against Buckley. 'She stated that be broke in the window of her house, and afterwards:aided his companions by supplying them with brickbats. More details she could not give, as she was afraid to put her head out of the , door to observe what was going an. This man was remanded. And the next case supplied another of the offenders,Jarnes Maloney,eharged with assaulting policeman 964 in Standish-street,.at about one o'clock in the morning; he was bleeding from wounds recei-eed evi dently in the fight in Martin-street. He was adjudged the same amountof fine as the others. wirmimegmeolrza..uww......o l liman Pin)LIC THANKAGIVING.—In the general orders an nouncing the conclusion of the war-the governor-general notifies that he has intimated to the lord bishop " his wish that on the first Sunday in Ma 7 thanksgiving shall be offered to Almighty God for the successful terminution of the war in which •we have been engaged, and for the restoration to the people of the blessing, of peace." Wands G.—" Time tries all things," is an old adage ; and, certainly, Mr. Thompson has been thoroughly tried in nearly thirty years. His system of-teaching writing has stood-the test of a hundred opponents, but he is still in the same locality, with pupils so increased in numbers that lie has:now classed ,his son as his assistant. Can patronage be more deserved ? STATE OrTßALEE.—Axorrespondent thus writes from Tralee :—" It is a positive fact that in the Brosna church yard the corpses of the poor are scarcely .covered, and that dogs are seen feeding on the bodies most frequently. The cause assigned for thisAight covering is that the poor people who bring the bodies a distance-are too feeble to dig the graves, and that children are stealthily and hurriedly buried at night,. to ,prevent the relieving officer .coming to the knowledge of their death, as he would fnecessarily stop their rations." ATTEMPT TO STRANGLE AN ACTRESS.—EIisha Cole, -alias White, a good looking girl, was charged at the Southwark Police-office, on Saturday, with having rushed upon Miss Vincent, an actress, as she was entering her carriage, at the door of the 'Victoria Theatre, and at- tempted to strangle her. The prisoner, who was formerly a ballet girl, said she knew Miss Vincent, who had de clined to assist her, though she was in distress, and she had determined to do for her. The prisoner talked in a very rambling way, and vas detained by order of the , magistrate. BUILDING WITHOUT CAPITAL. —ln the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on Wednesday, Wm. ,Grammar Clark, a builder, made his " fourth" appearance, to claim relief from his liabilities. It appeared that in 1836 he was dis charged, when he owed £1,834 ; in 1839, when the debts were £3,932:; and again in 1844, when they were £5,000. Now he owed £8,338. No dividend had ,been paid in the several estates. He had been engaged in building speculations, and having no capital he could not get on. He had been more than a year in prison.—Mr. Commis sioner Law declared that the insolvent had been living on the public—five years out of prison, and one year in. His Honour said, the case must be marked under the " dis cretionary clause." Such persons should wear a parti cular jacket, that they might be known, as it used to be in Scotland.—Judgment deferred. ATROCITIES OF PIRATES.—Life and property iS said to be pretty safe at Hong Kong ; but that this security does not extend to a circuit of five miles round Govern ment-house, the Wongmakok tragedy renders clear. The most serious ground for apprehension is the daring con duct of pirates, in the teeth of our ships of war, and, as it were, wiihin hail of the floating police. A melancholy instance of this had recently been brought to notice in the disastrous and fatal attack on the Lorcha No. 33, which left Hong Kong on the night of the 19th March for Macao. O❑ board the Lorcha were Senor Orense (Spanish mail agent), Mr. Pages, (secretary to the French Legat•ion), European-Portuguese captain and mate, and several Chinese, as also the mails from Europe for Manilla. When within eight miles of Hong-Kong, at the month of the Capsingmoon passage, three boats, apparently con taining fishermen, made for the Lorcha, and were warne I off without effect. In a few minutes one of the boats was alongside, the crew of which threw stink-pots into the Lorcha, and boarded bar with spears and swords. The four Europeans and one passenger jumped overboard ; the captain, Sen. Orense. and the Chinese passenger perished. The mate, M. Pages, and the crew held on to a rope astern and were saved. Having plundered the Lorcha of the mails, 750 dollars belonging to SP- , Orense, and everything worth pillaging, the, pirates de parted. _No parties had been taken into custody, and no means ipt6d to pr recurrence of thesz THE GIGANTIC PACKET-SHIP " CONSTELLA- TION." The splendid packet-ship Constellation, the largest merchant vessel afloat, having completed the discharge of her ponderous cargo, is now in our docks ; and as she presents to those interested in the growing trade of " the good old town," as well as to the many strangers that will visit Liverpool during the present week, a field of attraction that cannot fail to awaken the enthusiasm of unqualified approbation, we subjoin the following notice of her : The Constellation was built at New York, by Messrs. Westervelt and Mackay, from the drawings and under the personal superintendence of William Skiddy, Esq. Her length of keel is 195 ft. ; her length over all, 226 ft. ; her beam, measured from ceiling to ceiling, 43 ft. ; and the depth of hold, 28} ft. Her tonnage, estimated by the Customs (or new) measurement, is 1950 tons, but she possesses capabilities for the storage of nearly 3500 tons of ordinary goods. It would not for a moment be sup posed that a vessel of such giant-like proportions would be completed without a due regard to comparative strength, nor has that important object been neglected. Her hanging and lodging knees are all cut from well formed timber of great thickness and depth in the throat, and each is finished in superior style. The timbering of the Constellation is excellent, and her sides, with ceiling and outer planking, form one solid mass. She has no bilge pieces, but the ceiling is from 7 inches to 10 inches in thickness, from the kelson to the stringer, which is 14 inches square ; and thus her timbers and outer planking form a solid thickness averaging 3 feet 4 inches. Her kelson and sister kelsons are bolted perpendicularly to the keel, as well as diagonally and ho rizontally. The deck stancheons are kneed to the kelson, and in the upper decks are turned as pillars, but well secured by being bolted through an ornamental iron cap. In the fore neak there is an inner bow framing,- of ffront in strength, and between each of the han g i ng knees there is a diagonal trussing running reverse from amidships, aft and forward, which adds materially to her longitudinal strength, and prevents the probability of her becoming " hogged." The Constellation is built of the very best materials, and her bolts and fastenings throughout are all square. The appearance of the Constellation when afloat, though magnificent and mighty, isnot exactly what would pit, greatest possible accommodation on deck, which is most advisable in the trade for which she is intended, the deck beam is carried so far aft that it gives her the appearance of being heavy in quayter,- , ; but we had the pleasure of seeing her "_high and dry," and found her perfectly the reverse—in tact, if anything, her lines are too fine, and there can be little doubt, from her being clean fore and aft, and sharp without being wall-sided, (as she is not in sailing trim till drawing 23 feet of water,) she will carry a Dress of canvas that cannot fail to drive her through it. The stem is adorned with a well-carved figure of Com modore Truxttn, the commander of the Constellation American frigate ; and the stern is relieved with beau tiful scrollwerk. She has all the modern improvements in rigging, and, from the royalmasts downwards, light ning conductors of copper are let into the spars, and car ried through the keel into the water, thus almost averting the possibility of accidents from electric fluid. Manyvery excellent improvements are introduced for the comfort and . convenience, as veil as the health, of passe: ers, whic l .l so far exceed the ordinary arrange ments, that they merit the highest commendation. The Constellation has three decks, bat in order to give full light and a free current of atmospheric air, she is con structed with eight hatchways, of capacious measure- meat, as well as side-lights and ventilators fore and aft. The lower deck is appropriated solely to steerage pas sengers, with the exception eta store room, which is lat ticed off. The upper deck is also divided abaft, to form a cabin, with permanently-erected state rooms, for the 'more respectable emigrants; and though this•only occu pies a small space, being calculated for 80 persons, it is a great desideratum, as it presents an apartment far more comfortable than 'the cabins of many first-rate ships. The state rooms are large, and are each distinctly lighted from the side; some are furnished with ;wedding, and all with toilet ware, washstand, &c. Down the cen tre is a long mahogany dining-table, and fitted 'to it are reversing seats. Each room is painted and grained in imitation of oak, and the whole apartment is symbolic of " home," " cleanliness:" and " comfort." The. deck arrangements are most admiriblo. There is a toogallant forecastle, and a poop or quarter-deck, while amidships there are erections which are divided into seve ral apartments, some of which serve as covered compa nion-ways. The passengers' galleys are all-separated, so that each department of the ship has its particularly al lotted cooking =room. In the centre there is a sick-bay, fully fitted out, into which invalid passengers may be removed; another 'fiivision forms a complete carpenters' shop—another an'icehouse—a boys' room--rooms for the ;'and, in fine, every required convenience rom the quarter-deck to the houses on owage otcoals neck tnere Is a neat suspension-bridge, and forward gang ways to the' topgallant forecastle, making her almost a " four-decker." Beneath th&:quarter-deck are the , eeptain's cabin and the ladle? cabin, both of which are most gorgeously " finished'," 'and are not only lighted 'from the deck but by stern ports. The ceiling is formed into panels by the deck-beams, which are finished with neat mouldings, painted in 'dead white. An architrave of burnished white, relieved , with graceful carvings - in gold, surmounts the rich - cabinet-work of the room. Pilasters ena melled in white and gold, with a relief of lake, neat gold caps, and veined marble pediments, form the state room entrances. The intervening space at the sides, as well as all the doors, is formed in small panels, with octagon-corners;—the centres, as also the skirtings, are of highly-polished satinwood, relieved with deep-toned rosewood:and;zebrawood, the effect of which is most ad mirable. The couches and seats are upholstered in rich blue plush. The staterooms are roomy, and-excellently arranged; in fact, the gorgeous appearance the cabins present is.at least equalled by the excellent manner in which the more important but less attractive tributaries of health and comfort-are-secured. But, like Punch with the" German Giant," this fine vessel is too lony4fir • ..zag• iur uur columns; ana though ,we have given her measurement, we must hold a reserve for eifuture publication. There are many points we would notice did space permit, but one we must men tion. She pumped by a double -action machine, worked with' two fly-wheels. To the same shaft a power ful air pump can at all times beattached to exhaust any foul air that may have accumulated'between decks. it is also applicable to a fire-engine, •antl from a jet with hose of 75 feet in length an equal stream-can be ejected. A visit to this monster ship will repay amply the ex penditure of• time, and we feel assured that Captain Luce will exhibit that attention and urbanity of manner to visitors which, with his thorough knowledge of the venturous career he follows, has placed him in command of the finest-ship afloat. Since Thum-day the Constella tion has been , visited by thousands, and amongst those on board , yesterday was Lord Howard, son of the Duke of Norfolk, in-company with Thomas Sands, Esq., (late Mayor of Liverpool,) and George• Brown, Esq., as well as many of our merchants. Lord :Howard expressed himself highlytielighted. The Constellation is consigned here to Messrs. Spooner Sands and •Co., but we learn that Messrs. W. Tapscott and Co. undertake the passenger department. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) LONDON MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY The English funds &aye been very steady this morning.

French shares maintain the quotations of Saturday., but the market is neglected. LONDON CORN MARKET YESTERDAY, - • Our market was but moderately supplied with English Wheat this morning by land carriage samples from Essex.und Kent, and although the trade was far from animated, selected parcels brought rather over the rates of Monday last; se condary and inferior qualities of English and foreign Wheat generally could not be sold on any better terms than last week. Barley was in good supply from abroad, and barely maintained its previous value. Oats of home growth were not cheaper, but it wag difficult to make progress with foreign, unless at a slight reduction. English Beans were the turn dearer; but Egyptian., owing to an arrival of 16,282 qrs. during the week, were easier to purchase. Peas without alteration. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY The number of Beasts is about the same as of late, but the quality not so good, consequently there is a deficiency in weight of meat. Although the heavy rains have caused a slow trade, yet the choicest kinds, owing to their scarcity, command rather advanced prices. The Supply of Sheep is not much larger; for sizeable Downs there is a good demand, at rather more money ; indeed, trade is more cheerful for all kinds, and in most cases a small, if not a quotable, advance is realized. We have now so few in the wool, that we only quote shorn Sheep. Lamb is in request, at fully 2d. per Elbe. more money. The Calf trade is still very heavy, and it is difficult to makeover 46. of th e ver y choicest. From Germany and Hclland there are 290 Beasts, 1,068 Sheep, and 105 Calves; from Denmark, 5 Beasts. James Redding, alias Maudsley, who was convicted of murder at the last Chester assizes, died in Millbank pri son on Wednesday. He was on his way to one of the penal colonies. THE SLAVETRADE.—On the 2d of March her Majesty's brig Phitome], Mr. W. C.

The Caspar will remain at Plymouth for a few days, and thence pro ceed to Port Adelaide. Emily Sandford looked care worn and haggard.

[led t, 040 tlia military honms fo the Engl WHITSUN-WEEK FESTIVITIES AND NOVELTIES. Notwithstanding the general depression in the commer cial world, and the complaints consequently SD prevalent amongst large portions of the community at our own doors, it appears that a recent flush of success must, for some time past, have been enjoyed by the operative ma nufacturing population of the cotton districts, in this county and in Yorkshire. No stronger proof could be adduced than the immense influx of these strangers to all ports accessible to them in or near Liverpool, and many other places on the western coast of the county further north. The whole of Whitsun-week has, for years, been devoted by those employed in cotton-mills, &c, to holiday enjoj ment. As usual, all the Railway Companies, whose lines reached any point of attraction—and the main one is by these holiday folks, the shore and the shipping—advertised temptingly cheap trains. The East Lancashire Railway Company, the Lancashire and Yorkshire, and the London and North Western, offered more than usual facilities. Immense crowds came to the town by the two first-named Company's carriages, on Sunday and yesterday. The East Lancashire brought yesterday on their line via Orm skirk, upwards of 7009, and by the Lancashire and York shire considerably more than 8000, left Burnley and the neighbourhood alone. To this town and other parts of the coast, Fleetwood, Morcambe Bay, &c., nearly a sixth of the population of Blackburn rushed away from the smoke of their factory chimneys. We understand that the London Excursion Trains from the north were well filled. The number who met at Crewe, from all parts, on Saturday morning, went forward in 89 carriages, drawn by five engines; and there must have been nearly 2000 exeursior sort, most of them belo and middle classes persons is were of the regular country ding to the respectable working Much to the credit of many of these parties, principals, and teachers in schools, they brought with them a vast number of school children, many of them youths and young women, and all neatly, and some of them smartly attired. The men belonging to the several schools wore ribbons, distinctive in colour, so that wherever they met they recognised each other. In anticipation of all this influx of strangers, (and the week being to some extent a festive one, even in the rural districts,) the proprietors of our river, and other of moderate tonnage, made preparation and at; steamer ment for little trips by water, in every possitn. to and froM all the ferries on the Mersey,—to and from the Floating Light-ship, and even to and from Fleetwood and the Isle of Man. All of these were crowded, on every trip, on Sundry and yesterday. The Mersey ferry steamers during both d •owded ays. It is scarcely possible to form even a rough estimate of the number who crossed and re crossed ; but we learn that at Woodside Ferry, as nearly as could be calculated, 20,000 individuals passed over on Sunday, and about 30,000 yesterday. All the other ferries had , their proportionate share; anti Seacombe, Egremont and New Brighton, and Rock Ferry, Eastham, and even Runcorn, became the landing places of vast crowds, who perambulated these several localities, and returned at their leisure. The boats belonging to Mr. Willoughby, of the Tran mere Ferry, were all crowded on Sunday and yesterday ; even the paddle-boxes were clustered to the top. This was to be accounted for from the popularity of Mr. W., in his admirable manner of working his excellent boats. and his attention to all passengers, and also to the cir: ennistance of a variety of rural and other sports being provided yesterday for the amusement of the public at " 4 -e Trantnere Hotel. The roadsandlanesinthe neighbourhood were th r o nge d _ _ _ _ as if it had been a fair, and many picturesque scenes and frolics were witnessed The Birkenhead Hotel, recently taken by our respected townsman, Mr. Bluet Jones, who has fitted it up in an expensive and elegant manner, was formally opened on this festive occasion, the principal feature being a grand gala and pyrotechnic display, last evening, in the gardens attached to the premises, and commanding as fine a view of Liverpool, the Mersey, and its shipping, and the sur rounding country, as any point on the Cheshire side. The grounds were opened for the gala at six o'clock, and the attendance, both from Liverpool and the town of Birken head, was numerous and respectable. The gardens were in beautiful order, all the alcoves bounding them on the west having been refitted and beautified. Indeed, we may here state that Mr. Jones has spared no expense through out every department of the extensive establishment, (including admirable stabling,) to render it worthy of the patronage of his friends and t he public. Mr. Shell's full promenade band was in attendance, and enlivened all by playing the most select and popular music of the day. The grounds were, after dusk, illumi nated by numerous large Chinese lanterns, and over the fronts of the alcoves gleamed a countless variety of varie gated lamps. The fireworks were truly splendid, and novel both in design, mutation, and brilliancy. We regret that we can .but particularise a few. One was a Saxon revolving wile( various coloured fire. surrounded with st 'hole forming a rich samine bower of gold and tire. The rockets, grenades, &e., were first-rate ; and the concluding tableau represented a -colossal " Peacock," resting on a fountain, with its tail -spread open, 38 feet in circumf e re nce ! and all the daz zling spots of plumage fully and brightly encircled by jets of.corresponding coloured fires. This was pronounced to be by all present a masterpiece in the pyrotechnic art. The company were highly delighted, and few left the grounds until a late hour. Another display will take place this evening, in which numerous varieties and devices will be introduced. THE TOWN OF BIRKENHEAD Was yesterday (us well as on Sunday) much enlivened by the influx of strangers from all parts. Woodside, and ail the principal streets, were crowded by happy holiday folks, male and female, including numerous children. After a long and dreary depression in the town, the scene appeared to have undergone .a change to the lively and resuscita tive; and we hope even this holiday revival will be the forerunner of happier times to our cheshire neighbours— which, as the Dock-works have already been partially re sumed, is not an unreasonable expectation. One of the great attractions was the magnificent park, to which vast numbers congregated, by Conway-street —not a few of 1 -a T'l entrance .le, In vehicles. _ae approach to the grant, gate resembled that to a grand race-course. There wer hundreds of venders of all sorts of small confectionery, oranges, and the like; but, very properly, no gambling tables or low games. Horses and donkeys were in great requisition for short rides, and all was good humoured amusement and jocularity. A bazaar, in aid of the Wesleyan Association Chapel and School-room, Grange road, Birkenhead, was opened yesterday, in the Park, end will be resumed this day. This proved a considerable attraction, though to the strangers the grounds, including the winding walks, lakes, shrubberies, rustic, bridges, rockeries. &c., were of pri mary consideration, and assuredly the whole presented a vast variety of beautiful scenery. The rustic seats at every point were occupied by the weary or listless, and towards the west end of the Park, where the bazaar was -held, the wide grassy space which there opens out was here and there occupied by the holiday strangers, young and old, all of them respectable in dress and deportment. Many family parties Lad brought edibles in their baskets or reticules, and enjoyed themselves !in the green sward with their little ones. There were present, we learned, nearly 5000 young folks belonging to the schools in Black burn, Burnley, Preston. tke. These, in groups, assisted by their teachers, occasionally sung hymns, with good effect. The bazaar was held within a large marquee, pitched on the border of a coppice, and distinguishable by nume rous flags suspended from cords between lofty poles. The stalls were :;onducted by thirteen married ladies, each of whom had two young ladies as assistants. The articles were of the usual fancy description, handsome needle work, &c., many of them very beautiful. There was a Post-office which issued some choice news. There was also a refreshment tent and a tent for confectionary. The sum realised yesterday was, we learn, £llO. The bazaar will close this evening ; but there will be a tea party to-morrow night at the Grange-road School-room, and what may remain of the articles will be disposed of. SEACOMBE, EGREMONT, AND NEW BRIGHTON These northern ferries had all their complement of visitors yesterday, and the whole of Wirral westward of them was crowded by strangers from all parts. The New Egremont and New Brighton steam-boat Fairy was out for the first time, and beat all her competitors. She accomplished the passage from New Brighton to the great landing stage in 12 minutes. The distance is 4 miles. The quays and landing-stage, last night, were almost fearfully crowded by the parties returned from various parts of Cheshire. GRAND FETES AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS DURING WHITSUN WEEK. At these splendid gardens were presented last night, for the gratification of the holiday visitors, and their usual frequenters in our own town_ nnanf i i ,,, yr, ta wire, vile or toe most brit liant entertainments ever provided by their spirited pro prietors. On this occasion a new ballet performance, got up in the most splendid style, supported by eminent artistes, and filled up with entirely new scenery, painted exnresgiv • n. . for it. ho 1 • le, was presented ter the first time in the large hall at the gardens. The hall itself has been newly decorated in the most gorgeous manner. The walls are formed into panels, each of which con tains a beautifully painted scene from some popular opera The roof is formed into one extensive moulding, richly painted with a sky and appropriate devices, grotesques, &c., the Liver the crest of Liverpool being emblazoned at each corner. A deep architrave of exquisite workman ship extends round the base of the roof. The effect of the whole is at once appropriate and striking. The gardens themselves are in fine order, and during the forenoon and afternoon were fillpd , tors, to whom their refreshing verdure must have afford- out the King's dom.. ed a grateful retreat from the dust and turmoil of our tecost next ensuing ; tl streets. quently, Whitsunday The ballet selected was that of Christalline, or the hundredth anniversa• invisible maiden, in which Mdlle.

The amusements concluded with the colossal pictorial representation of Constantinople —a sp ectac l e got up in Messrs. Atkin's best style, and which strangers in Liver pool would do well to see. The fireworks were of unusual brilliancy. QUARANTINE REGULATIONS. - IMPORTANT REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF HEALTH. (From yesterday's Times.) The General Board of Health has jus - t issued a report of extraordinary importance as regards the relief of com merce, the freedom of locomotion, and the sanitary pros pects of the whole population. The subject-matter of the document is no other than the practice of quarantine as at present retained for the presumed protection of one country from the infectious plagues of another. agion assumed that certain diseases rom one person to another by actual -etively of atmospherical or even -that is to say, that plague or the patient to the physi . although disposition were wholly - - , Tation of the ma constituti LI conditiOns ician to any third part changed.

At first this virus was supposed to be something as real and palpable as that by which certain cutaneou upon 1 pladies are propagated, or as that contained in vaccine matter. After wards, when scientific researches pointed to some less substantial form of aspheric influence as a principal that there was room ter conta nf the atmosphere might be so vent, it was still argued for that the highly concentrated, and gravating circa sited on articl: 3 it were, inspissated, by ag to be capable of being depo , furniture, or clothing, tted to and of being, in such form, trans,- _ coun tries and dissimilar climates. These imaginary deposits received, in technical language, the name of farnites, and, though not palpable to the senses of perception, were conceived to contain the•seeds of the disease in as truly as the eggs of a spider are contair a Its nest It Was againSCsuch dangers as these that quarantine regulations have been directed, it being supposed that material importations could be excluded by material bar riers ; and, undoubtedly, when the premises have been granted, it would be hard to resist the conclusion. It is true that throughout the operations of this system, facts wholly irreconcilab►r thus maintained with the princi[ were continually presenting themselves, but so strongly was the tenacity of popular error here exemplified, that the quarantine regulations were still preserved, even after the good which they effected had become extremely pro blematical, while the evil which they caused was more and more manifest. ti propounded, and, we r h, two conch ms were venture to say, esta- blished The first of thes was little or no generic differ- ence between epidemics, they were hion as that combated !cond, t not transmissible wfter by the institutions of q It is not remarkabl rent as those of plague, typhus, scarlatina, yellow fever, influenza, and cholera, should have been thought to de pend each on their own specific contagions, but the report before us enumerates the following important conditions as characterizing the entire class :—" They are all fevers; they are all dependent on certain atmospheric conditions ; they all obey similar laws of diffusion ; they all infest the ;es so externally same sort of localities; they all attack ci classes, and, for the most and their intensit fly the same art, persons of the like ages ; sed or diminished by the same sanitary and social conditions." In fact, there is not wanting evidence to show that epidemics in all ages have resulted from the same infraction of sanitary rules, and that the particular form assumed by each at its outbreak is determinable by the accidents of atmosphere or season. What is influenza one year is cholera the next; what is plague in one latitude becomes typhus in another. Conditions which generate yellow fey generate typhus or sc , rlatina in Er r in Barbadoes, ,gland and it is s of typhus have happened, into the a very remarkable been importud, as 1 West Indies, they have been instantaneously extin guished by the atmosphere of the tropics. In fact, the English plague cannot live in Jamaica, nor the West Indian plague - in England, although it is not a little curious, as demonstrating the true atmospheric origin of these maladies, that in one particular summer, remarkable for its strange meteorological conditions, when some troops were in garrison under rather unhealthy eir ldisputably t that when c cumstanejs at Hy case of yellow fey( genuine in its type, did actu the characteristic symptoms vanished with the first return of the weathor to its English form The second and most imports these maladies, he they what they may, are undoubtedly not transmissible from one country to another, or from one person to another in the manner presumed. On this head the report embodies conclusions which, though certainly not novel, are nevertheless presented with un usual emphasis and supported by an irresistible selection of facts. As regards the propagation of contagion by merchandise, it is proved beyond the possibility of denial, that if the theory were correct Manchester must have been long ago ravaged by an oriental plague. When this frightful scourge was raging with the utmost violence at Alexandria some few years ago, thousands of bales of cotton goods—supposed to be a material of tie very highest susceptibility in this respect —were shipped from the Egyptian port to England. The cotton was taken from the government stores, where the plague was making the greatest havoc; it was stowed away by working parties of natives, who were repeatedly seized with the disorder during the operation : it_ was packed into the y present itse t proposition is, that and battened dow►i with ti: moat concentrated fo suffered fearfully in t rye the contagion in its ship's crews s of the if to Yet, although ti port, they carried no seed with the known of r was any single instance r officer being seized with plague, after rip . pi contaminated bal The propagation of contagion by pgrsonal contact is disproved by facts of equal clearness. It is very sensibly observed, that if the hypothesis were sound, the trick of `agion ought to be marked by ad that, in point of fact, the y have survived the ultimate con- any person carrying tl a train of dead and dy human race could scar he con sequences of such conditions. Nor is any stress to be laid upon the facts which have been recently observed in Liverpool and Glasgow connected with the immigration of Irish. What these unfortunate creatures did was, not to import in matured activity a specific and definite ma lady, but to add a swarm of impoverished inmates to dwellings and localities already overcrowded. They made misery more wretched, uncleanliness more squalid, and privations more insupportable. They created the gener ative conditions of fever by their accumulation of num bers, their habits of filth, and their state of destitution. The results would have been the same from whatever quarter the importation had taken place, and, indeed, the ingredients of an epidemic are now so accurately under stood, though it might not be possible to carry one already manufactured across the Atlantic, yet no difficulty would be experienced in generating the worst type of fever, at any spot which might be selected.

PAINTERS SHOULD NOT SUCK THEIR PENCILS.—The post mortem examination of a young artist named A. F. West, who died lately, revealed enough to induce the jury to return a verdict " That the deceased died from the effects of carbonate of lead." It appeared that ho was in the habit of drawing his brushes through his lips. CATTLE AND., SHEEP.—A return, obtained by Sir John Young, M.P., shows that between the sth of January, 1847, and the sth of April, 1849, there were c•:ported to Greet Britain from Ireland 189,960 oxen, hulls, and cows ; 9,992 calves, 324,179 sheep and lambs, and 106,407 swine. During the year ended the sth of April, 1849, the number exported from Ireland was 27,985 oxen and bulls, 879 calves, 35,189 sheep and lambs, and 27,004 swine.
