THE WATER QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Permit me once more, and, as I would fain hope, for the last time, to trespass upon your valuable columns in refer ence to Mr. M`Donald's unwarranted statements published in the Liverpool Mercury of Tuesday last. Ist.—ln regard to Mr. M'Donald's assertion with respect to my alleged opportunities of testing the yield of the wells, I re peat distinctly that "1 never possessed any opportunity what ever of testing the yield of the wells:" and further, that I have not, indeed, had either occasion or authority to test the yield, except for the purposes of the arbitration, in which Mr. Ste phenson was concerned, in December, 1847, and that then the Harrington Company, for whom Mr. ArDonald was employed, defeated any endeavours I was, however, at that time enabled to make certain OB SERVATIONS (despite this obstruction), from which I became fully satisfied that the yield, at a practical level, did not exceed 1,700,000 gallons per day, plus the injection water, which ougift not to be supplied to the inhabitants, or, in the whole, about 2,100,000 gallons. _ . In this minion I have since been completely borne out by the reoort of Messrs. Kennedy and M`Gregor, whose examination . . affords a result of aboutl,Boo,ooo gall Ons, plus the injection water, valued by them at, if I remember aright, :360,C03 gallons, or in the whole, of about 2,2C0,000 gallons; and .thich report also remarks that the yield was gradually diminishing during the progress and up to the close of their investigation—thus establishing an important fact which had been anticipated and predicted by me, from information otherwise and previously obtained, that the level of the fresh water supply is gradually descending in the sand-stone . stratum of Liverpool by reason of the constant withdrawal of a larger quantity of water than the percolation from the surface is capable of reinstating. I must further observe that the apparent yield, improperly quoted by Mr. 111‘Donald, is not the yield which Messrs. Ken .r I - or state to be practicaily available for the use of the town, and differs therefrom by the entire quantity which Mr. M`Donald disputes with me. Between myself and Messrs. Kennedy and M‘Gregor the agreement is as complete as could reasonably be expected, while between Mr. M`Donald and Messrs. Kennedy and Macgregor there lies,a difference exceed ing 25 per cent. on the gross yield, and between Mr. M`Donald and myself a difference of 50 per cent. on the net yield. 2nd.—ln regard to my supposed connection with the existing hands of the Corporation, althougii the contrary is asserted by Mr. M`Donald, tdl the Ist of March, 1848; nor did the Corpora tion in any way interfere with the rights of the companies prior to that date; neither did I ; for during the most part of January I was occupied in London on the water arbitration, and after wards, till late in March, was located at Newby, Durham, Sun derland, Whitehaven, and other places, on my ordinary pro fessional business. Mr. M`Donald's assertions on this head are, therefore, as wholly unfounded as they are perfectly gratuitous. 3rd.—ln respect to Captain Francis and his alleged connec tion with the existing. works It is also equally untrue that I appointed Captain Francis master of the enginernen, or at anytime gave any instruction to the workmen not to obey Mr. M`Donald but it is true that immediately previous to the arrival of the arbitrator, and previons also to the Harrington Company's with- . workmen contravening,* the insirnetion he had received by stopping his engine, so as to prevent the Corporation from ob- - - tainmg that information w occasion I most ( on that linly did—what I should niost certainly under a similar exigency do again—insist upon my lawful authority being recoznised and submitted to. 'On this occasion, Captain Francis assisted me by day and by night in making such observations (not "tests") as would enable me ultimately to approximate to the actual yield, with sufficient accuracy for the purposes of the arbitrrtion, notwith -"ng the refusal of the Harrington Company to allow the yield to be `• tested" by me in such a manner as to remove every occasion for cavil or disputation. On some subsequent occasions also Captain Francis noted the number of strokes the engines had respectively made, with the view of ascertaining the quantity of water SUPPLIED to the town (so far as the same could be ascertained in the absence of any experimental knowledge respecting the leakage and slip of the pumps, which were then known to be in a wretched condition); but this determination was, of course, inadequate to the solu tion of the since solved problem to which Mr. M`Donald ignorantly enough imagines it competent. 4th.—ln regard to what passed at the first interview between Mr. E tephenson, Mr. Wickstead, and myself. It is true, as stated by Mr. M`Donald, that Mr. Stephenson declined personally prosecuting any experiments on the yield of the springs ; but it must again be mentioned that he so declined on the ground of the near coincidence of the opinions expressed by Mr. Wick-stead and myself rendering such a measure wholly unnecessary ; he did, nevertheless, call in to his assist ance Mr. Hocken, of Newcastle, a gentleman who possessed a series of exact admeasurements made by himself of the yield of the Harrington wells,—admeasurements confirmatory, as Mr. Stephenson has since told me, of the statements submitted to him by Mr. Wickstead and myself. Mr. M`Donald is also in error in supposing the discussion before the arbitrator re lated to the quantity of water which bad previously been delivered by the company; the question raised was wholly and solely a question of value, and had regard only to the value of the quantity of water of which the company were in possession and could tray sfer to the Corporation in a condition available for distribution to the inhabitants. The bygone acts of the vendors with reference to the delivery of the water did not and could not form any element in the worth of the undertaking to an incoming tenant. Mr. Sterilienson's conclusive letter, in reply to an enquiry made by the water committee when this same charge was once before raised, I beg to append. Mr. M`Donald's monocular calculations with respect to the available yield of the wells demand correction; so do his state ments with respect to the population. They ought to exhibit the following results, namely : Galls. Harrington Wells, gross yield, at a practical level (see Messrs. Kennedy and M'Gregor's report), about Bootle Wells (now known to afford), an available 2,200,000 yield of Green-lane Well, an available yield of about 920,000 1,200,000 Gross total Deduct injection water, which ought not to be supplied to the town 360,000 Deduct water stated by Mr. Duncan to be required for certain public purposes 400,000 4,320,000 760,C00 Residue being the net daily quantity properly avail able for the supply of dwelling-houses, trades, manufactures, shipping. cranage, _ 1,560,000 . , Again, on reference to the printed evidence adduced by the registrars of Liverpool and the adjacent districts, and as well to the evidence adduced before parliament, Mr. 31`Donald will find, to his evident amazement, that the population existing within the parliamentary borough is actually 370,000 souls or upwards, to which must be added about 50,090 for the popula tion without the parliamentary boundary, thus making toge ther a total of 420,000 souls If, therefore, we divide 3,600.000 by say only 400.000, we shall, now th at the Green-lane Well has been added to our former resources, have a result not exceeding nine gallons per head per day; a calculation well agreeing with the estimates of highly competent gentlemen who, on former occasions, consi dered the domestic supply of the Harrington Company equal to seven gallons per head per day, and the domestic supply of the BooVe Company equal to about six gallons per head per day!!! or less than one-half of the quantity actually required for present necessities._ _ 71'h.—In regard to the letter written by me to Mr. M'Gill, from which much has been attempted to be inferred touching my absurdly alleged connexion with the existing works, I have to state that this letter was a friendly communication, arising in part from Mr. M`Gill having voluntarily called upon me at the Stork Hotel to ask my assistance on matters personal to himself, and in part from the circumstance of the water com mittee having specially required my attention to the very cor rupt state of the Green-lane r e servo i r . Th ere i s no thi ng in or connected with that letter I have cause to regret (except the ungrateful use now sought to be made of it), but I must say I was certainly startled by the answer I received from Mr. M'Gill, which I then judged. and as it now appears rightly so, not to be the unaided offspring of Mr. M'Gill's own mind, but rather of those misthinking individuals who have allied them selves together to carry out an unparallelled system of fraud and misrepresentation. How true were my then suspicions subsequent events have only too well proved. B.—Notwithstanding Mr. Macdonald's CE rtificate of its purity, I still entirely object to the delivery of " injection water" to the inhabitants. The vegetable portion from the packings, and the animal portion from the grease of an engine, and supplied at unwanted times, it is, I apprehend, anything rather than agreeable. However, as regards Mr. Macdonald, de gustibus non est disputandurn, though there be, as I know, many persons in Liverpool who can, and, if need be, will, relate the " disgust" they have felt in perceiving the presence of oil and tallow in the water they were about to use from the pipes of the Har rington Company. • . But Mr. Macdonald relies for his exculpation on a clause in the Rivington Act, enabling the Corporation to require the owners of certain mills "at Rivington ' I) to return th... injec tion water, which may be used from a certain gcit, belonging to the Corporation, again into that appendage to the works. Now, sir, to this inferential justification. manifestly deficient of every analogy, the answers are numerous and easy. In the first place, the mills are not at Rivington, nor even within six miles of the head of the Rivington reservoir.. In the next place, the comparatively small quantity of water which may be so used will, if the Corporation so please, and not otherwise, enter the goit, or artificial river, and then, after pursuing that course for several miles, pass, intermixed with an immense quantity of other water, into a large reservoir, or lake, of about one and a half mile long; thence subsequently into a much larger reservoir, or lake, two miles long ; thence through several acres of filter beds, and finally down 24 miles of main pipes, to reservoirs intended to be made at Prescot and Liver pool. A rather tedious journey this to he undertaken by hot water, as somewhat snore than four months must be consumed in its performance!—whether then this journey is likely to leave in existence any decomposable organic matter, or trans ferable heat, Mr. Macdonald's " eminent" chemistry must de termine. But lastly, and here lies the evidence of Mr. Mac donald's indiscreet venture into matters which it is more than evident he very imperfectly comprehends ; if Mr. Macdonald had chosen to make a proper inquiry of those who could have furnished him with proper and accurate information, he would have found that just below these said mills the corporation are, by another clause of the same act, required to afford a supply of water for driving wheels and other machinery, which water is afterwards to flow down the Brinscall brook, and thence into the river Yarrow, as part of the compensation water to be discharged into that river. For this purpose "injection water" is according to my apprehension, just as available as any other, water in the possession of the corporation, and for this purpose the injection water of Messrs. Park's mill may Le readily ap plied after being conducted for a short distance by means of common pot pipes laid in the said goit, or on the banks thereof. So much for Mr. Macdonald, but before quitting the subject of the supply of water to Liverpool I will take occasion, for the first time, to draw attention to the very extraordinary posith n in which this question has been placed by the reckless and over drawn statements of persons of whose education and position in society (a position which has its responsibilities as well as its pleasures,) better things might have been and were anticipated. Three years ago I came to Liverpool under a summons from the Corporation to assist them on various matters connected with the supply of water. I then found all expectation of being able to procure a sufficient supply of good water had been already abandoned by all but universal consent, and this, after much controversy and considerable investigation. Accordingly nu merous plans were speedily suggested by various engineers; and amongst others the following sources were proposed, namely : Situation Windermere Lake Distance. About 100 miles by any available route. Dee, near Llangollen (calledi About 64 miles by Runcorn, and Bala Lake scheme) I 74 by Warrington. Holywell Spring About 40 miles, by nearest practi cable route. River Hodder About 45 miles. River Ceriog_ ... About 70 miles. iiivington Mills When, after a fuller and n A lo b r o e u s t et i rien e inquiry than was ever instituted into or about any water project, the last-mer tioned suggestion was adopted both by the Corporation of Li verpool and by Parliament, not, as affirmed by your contempo rary, the Mercury, for the fraudulent purpose of beating down the value of the works of the two then existing companies, but as a measure bona fide proposed for the relief of the necessities and the improvement of the condition of the present large and future augmented populations of Liverpool. Had the tormer been the acknowledged or even suspected object of the Corpor ation of Liverpool, most assuredly the author of this communi cation would have scorned any proposition to act as their engi neer. Such, however, was not the fact. Will, then, Liverpool, will the Corporation, will the mill and landowners, who are said to have expended .E 30,000 in opposing the bill, will the contractors, will Parliament submit to be to be told, in accord ance with the inference to be drawn from the language of the Mercury, " Gentlemen, it was all a clever trick devised by us to diminish the value of the Water Companies' Works ; it has answered its purpose ; we are obliged by your attention and attendance, and the country thanks yco for your services." hut, Sir, what are the artifices to which such persons have ?fl LITE 'POOL STANDARD. recourse in justification of their intentions? Why! The ab solute denial of every known and established fact, even after iterated and vastly expensive proofs have been resorted to, proofs abundantly capable of satisfying even every honest sceptic. Take as instances the following principal facts Astertion.—That the yield of the Liverpool wells is " unli mited. Pact.—Gross yield, under 4} millions ; net available yield, little more than 31 millions. Assertion.—Sandstone stratum inexhaustible. Fact.—The water lowering every ;;;;; . many wells al ready exhausted, and others rapidly diminishing in yield. Assertion.—Th at the wells now yield as much water as ever they did. Fact —That the Windsor well was proved by the Har rington Company, when opposing the Green-lane pro ject, to afford 800 gallons per minute, hut now yields for the use of the town only about 500 gallons per minute. Assertion.—That the water in the Windsor well could net be pumped out. _ _ _ Fact.—lt has recently been pumped for weeks toge ther within a few inches of the blast holes, producing only as above stated. Assertion.—That the well water of Liverpool is exceedingly pure. _ _ Fact.—lt ranges up to 26 degrees of hardness, the average hardness being 16 degrees. It contains consi derable quantities of lime and magnesia, and is mixed largely with the clarified percolations from thousands of cesspools. Asseriion.—By going deeper, the quantity of pure water may be increased to an indefinite extent. Fact.—ln consequence of having already overpumped the stratum, the fresh water has in many instances sunk 40 or 50 feet below the tidal level , an d, in consequence, the salt water of the river is rapidly marching inland in the direction of the Harrington wells, some of which it will shortly reach, and all 711titnatelyA—the saline water having already crossed Vauxhall-road, where itlupplies into Messrs. Forrester and Co.'s well ICO grains of se salt to one gallon of water.* Assertion.—That thre is no water at Rivington Fact - That the averaTe daily yield for two complete years amounts to 25,700,000 gallons, (thus exceeding the estimated yield of 23,500,0.,0 gallons by a quantity just coital to the entire gross practical yield of all the 1. ar- by c-ostantaneous gaugings made by other partielor other purposes, on other but adjacent water sheds. Assertion.—That the water cannot be stored in the proposed Rivington lakes or reservoirs. Fact.—That water it stored in the " Belmont " and " Turton and Entwisle" reservoirs, both in the same immediate neighbourhood ; in the former case to a depth one-half greater, and in the latter case to a depth twice as great, as in the intended Rivington reservoir. 4ssertion.—Tlint the Rivington water is not good. Fact. —That it is only of one degree of hardness. That it produces the finest bleached colours in the kingdom; and that it is never known to become foetid in reservoirs as is speedily the case with sandstone waters, and as will again become the case with the water in the Kensington ”ervoir within three months from the present time. -That the Rivington water will produce ague, dy Assertion sentery, and fever Pact. —That the district in which the water is pro duced is free from ague, and produces no more dysentery and fever than other hill districts, and much less than lower districts. Moreover, that ague is net at all produced by water taken either externally or internally, but is really the result of the malaria occasioned by the decom position of eharce, conservw, and other algae. originated under peculiar circumstances, of which the fens of Lin colnshire and the Pontine marshes afford distinct exam ples. Tne mortality of Liverpool, with its best of water. is as nearly as possible double the mortality of the pro posed water district and the greatest in the kingdom. Assertion.—That it cannot be conveyed to Liverpool. • Fact.—That water is so conveved to Other towns through pipes of great length, subjected to greater pres sure and to an equal degree of undulation, and Ai! 0 of diameters corresponding to the formula employed in the determination of the diameter of the Rivington main. . Assertion.—That the works won't be remunerative. Fact.—That similar works are remunerative in thehands of companies who have started without a shilling of in come; while at Liverpool the income already amounts to £57,000 a-year, although the water distributed for sale is only 3} million gallons, instead of the•l6 million gallons to be hereafter distributed. The Corporation of Manchester is at this moment ac tively carrying out a similar undertaking under similar circumstances; excepting in thus far, that while they commence with a nearly equal burden as respects capital, the present water income is at least £20,000 per annuuni less than that of the present water income of the Corpo ration of Liverpool. The Corporation of New York, (a city formerly sup plied by wells in the rock, and not NOW so large as Li verpool,) has conveyed water in similar quantita, a dis tance of 381 miles, at a cost of two millions sterling. an amount more than four times greater than that required for the supply of Liverpool. Boston. in America, a city of comparatively small extent, on the 25th of Oct. last, completed similar works for the conveyance of water, and " brought in the supply from a distance of 20 miles, in the midst of great public rejoicings." And the little town of the same name in England, numbering only 15,000 inhabitants, is just on the eve of completing an undertaking (of which I have the direc tion and am an investing proprietor, beca►rse it will pay), for the purpose of bringing a supply of water from an artificial lake of 40 acres in extent, and through a main pipe of 13 mi'es in length I This company starts without a sixpence of income, or any compulsory powers what ever, and yet is willing to invest a much larger stun per head of the population, in the conveyance and storage of the water for the supply of the inhabitants of that town, than is required for the like purposes for the supply of the far richer community of Liverpool. I leave the inhabitants of Liverpool to ponder on these circumstances, with the promise that unless again pub licly attacked. I shall not again appear in any public discussions on this subject--I remain, Mr. Editor, your most obedient, and much obliged servant. T. HAWKSLEY. Bolton, 10th February, 1849. To WILLIAM SHUTTLEWORTH, ESQ. DEAR SIR,—Mr. Hawksley's statement as to what took place before me as Arbitrator in the matter of the Waterworks is strictly correct. Respecting the quantity of water yielded by the various wells, I was fortunately enabled to avail myself of the knowledge of one of my present assistants. Mr. Hosk ing, who had formerly been engaged by Mr. Wickstead to ascertain the actual quantity pumped from the wells. Mr. Hosking is eminently qualified for such a task, and having had much experience in his great ability, strict integrity, and scru pulous accuracy, I received his information with the utmost confidence. The opinion I arrived at, after maturely consider ing the whole of the evidence and statements laid before me was that the difference of yie7d as stated by Mr. Hawksley and Mr. Wickstead probably arose from slight fluctuations in the supplyvarying with the season or othercircumstances, and that the true average was somewhat above the one and below the other, thus making the actual difference between the two statements very small indeed. I consequently urged upon Mr. Hawksley, es he states, the propriety of withdrawing his ap plication to institute an elaborate, tedious, and naturally ex pensive, series of experiments, which he acquiesced in. I am, dear sir, Your obedient servant, ROBERT STEPHENSON. 24, Great George-street, Westminster, 13th June, 1848. * Many other similar instances may be adduced-91Tie's and Earle's in the north, and Gregson's in the south. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY The ninth anniversary meetings of this excellent insti tution were held yesterday. The morning meeting in the Collegiate Institution, although not so numerous as we have seen assembled within those walls, was, never theless, highly respectable. . . On the motion of the Rev. W. Pollock, Adam Hodg son, Esq. was called to the chair, and the business of the day was commenced with prayer, offered up by the Rev. C. W. Lawrence. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to address the meet ing. He said a few years ago it was necessary for a party occupying the position he did, to enter at some length into the constitution and objects of the society. He was happy to be able to say that was not necessary now ; that the society was well known to most of them, and that it now took its station amongst other societies, having similar objects in view. The various modes in which its operations were carried on—the seasonable aid it afforded for the relief of spiritual destitution—and its success in those operations would be fully explained by the gentle men around him, and especially by those from a distance who formed the deputation, if he might so speak, of the Parent Institution. He therefore need say no more than that its object was to take its share in its own peculiar way, in assisting to remove that large amount of spiritual destitution which was still to be found, not only in the rural districts—on the hill sides, and in the valleys of our land, but in large towns, in the manufacturing districts, and even at our own doors. (Hear.) When first com menced, its promoters had to labour under considerable difficulties, but happily its conductors, satisfied of the Scriptural principles on which it was founded,—satisfied of its objects, and of the honesty of their intentions, deter mined to persevere. They had at that time a prelate who was not in the habit of waiting for success before he vouch safed his countenance and support to an object, but being satisfied of its propriety, at once threw himself into the difficulties, and gave all the assistance in his power to an institution having for its object the diminution of the spi ritual destitution he saw around him. Having himself, with a success not to be found in any other diocese, pro moted the building of churches—having taken by this means the most effectual method of providing a remedy for the evils he saw prevailing, his lordship threw himself, with all his heart, into the society; the consequence of which was, that they frequently saw him in the position he (the chairman) then occupied, advocating the interests, vindicating the principles, and urging the claims of the society ; and he did the same in London long before he was called upon to hold the high position he now does ; but having attained to that position, his lordship had not failed to give it the highest official sanction it could attain. (Hear and cheers.) The speaker then called attention to the stirring events which had taken place in the world since they celebrated their last anniversary. Thrones had been overturned, dynasties changed, and the whole conti nent was tottering to its very centre. Yet England, un der tae blessing of Divine Providence, had escaped. How was this ? We were partly indebted for it to the Consti tution, which possessed within itself the inherent property of expansion, and was closely connected wich the spiritual provision of the people. Much of our tranquillity must, however, be ascribed to the religious feeling of the people of this kingdom. This was a fact which he wished to im press upon the minds of all present, that they were acting the best part of patriotism when they were aiding the spread of religion, and none were contributing more to the security of our constitution than those who, acting like the Church Pastoral-Aid Society, were silently disseminating the spirit of pure religion among the masses of the peop'e. (Cheers.) The society had taken a very large share in these efforts, and he trusted that in future it, and all kin dred societies having similar objects in view, would derive a support far beyond anything they had yet experienced. (Applause.) The Rev. JOHN HARDING, Rector of St. Anne's, Blackfriars, next addressed the meeting. He proposed to occupy their attention only a short time, whilst he laid before them a few facts, as the representative of the com mittee of the parent society. He had been on the com mittee since its formation, and coming to Liverpool for the first time, he was delighted to find so many friends of the institution. It was delightful to trace the progress which the cause bad made in this town. When he looked at the liberality of the inhabitants in the erection of churches and schools, he felt assured the time was not far distant when, having supplied the wants of their own neighbourhood, they would extend more liberal aid to the country at large. (Hear, hear.) The committee were placed in a most painful position. Their means were not equal to the demands made upon it or the desire of the committee. They had already made the large number of 366 grants, but they had on the table of the committee 70 applications ; and they were compelled to say that the society was not in a position to supply those wants. This arose from want of funds ; and this fact he wished to impress upon the attention of the meeting. For what purpose had the 366 grants been made ? Simply for the purpose of spreading amongst the destitute thousands in this country the important truths which alone could make them happy here and hereafter. Out of the 366 grants already made, 73 lay teachers were employed, whose duty it was to assist the clergy in carrying the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor, so that they by it may be happy in his presence here and glorified in his kingdom hereafter. (Hear, hear.) The reverend gentleman then defended the society from the objection made against it by some parties in consequence of inquiries made into the characters of those persons who were paid out of its funds. He said no questions were asked whether the parties to whom grants were made belonged to this party or that,—they did not ask whether they were Calvinist or Armenian, High Church or Low Church,—whether they had peculiar views of unfulfilled prophecy, on one side or the other, but whether they would make it their chief aim and object to carry to sinners the knowledge and power of our adorable Saviour, and teach them to walk in obedience to his commands. If he would really seek to bring the truth as it is in Jesus to the hearts of those with whom he might be brought in contact, they asked no more. So with regard to the laymen paid cut of the funds of the society. He believed they had succeeded by this means in having the services of faithful men ; and the result of the proceedings so far was highly gratifying. By means of the society's grants opportunities were afforded of spiritual worship, which but for them would not be possessed. Every week above one thousand such opportunities of religious instru secured by means of thoe grants Row delightful-w to contemplate this fact ? - How many souls were thus being brought to a saving knowledge of the truth would only be known at the consummation of all things. Many delightful facts had, however, come to the knowledge of the society, but time would not permit him to dwell upon them. He would, however, take the liberty of commend ing to their attention the occasional papers published by . . . the society, and trusted they would be more extensively read. The rev. gentleman then read extracts from a letter written by an incumbent in Wales, whose income did not exceed £BO, whose parish contained 5,300 souls, and was eleven miles long and six broad. These extracts showed the necessity of aid which such a society as the Pastoral Aid Society alone could afford. After detailing some other interesting facts the rev. gentleman concluded by observing that whatever efforts had been made on behalf of the society, they were nothing as compared with the wants of the country. He trusted every one would go from that meeting contemplating the stete of the society, and contemplating it in the light in which it would be contemplated when time shall be no more. (Cheers.) The Rev. E. TOTTENHAM, incumbent of Laura Chapel, Bath, and Prebendary of Wells, then rose to address the r .,..3t:m. Aft gentlenian said, there were three questions which natu rally addressed themselves to the meeting, with reference to the Church Pastoral Aid Society :—First, as to the ob ject—is it a good one. Second, are the means which are employed to support it unexceptionable and pure; and third, is the necessity for the efforts positive and undenia ble. He thought he could answer all these questions to the satisfaction of the meeting. The first question at this day hardly needed any observations. Surely it was -'Glary to demonstrate the fact, that . ..he object was unnec€ a good one, for what was it? They had been told already —that it was to seek Christ's flock in the midst of this naughty world, and to bring them into his fold that they may be saved for ever. He felt it would be a waste of time to enlarge on this subject, and indeed it was not necessary to say much respecting the second question, for what were the means which the society employed ? They were means furnished by the church itself. The society did not go beyond the pale of the church, for the means of its operation—it found them within the border of the church. They were first the clergy themselves, and, secondly, the faithful lay members of the church, and in the appointment of these, t'se society did nothing more than what was the duty of every patron when he presented to a living. He was bound in the sight of God to see that the person he selected was likely to be a faithful minister to the flock. They were told that the society constituted itself into a kind of episcopacy, and pretended to commission men to labour in the field of the Lord. It did no such thing, and it, was well that their friends should know and bear in mind this fact, that the Church Pastoral Aid Society did not do so, that it, made no effort at all, until an application was made to it for assistance. Then for the first time it instituted an inquiry into the amount of the population of the parish and the income of the Incumbent. Then it made a grant, but it did not even then select a clergyman, but called upon the incumbent to do so. Then the necessary enquiries into his character were made. It appeared to him a most extraordinary fact that men could be found who objected to this. If it were intended to obtrude laymen into the Church it might be objected to, but when they found that the clergyman was selected from the ordained members of the Church by the incumbent himself, there could be no ground for objection. He should therefore assume, that as the ob ject was good, so the means by which it sought to put the Society into operation were unexceptionable and pure. Then as to the third point —were the necessity for the efforts positive and undeniable. Surely it was not neces sary to prove that. Let them only remember this fact that at the beginning of the present century the population of England and Wales was eight milllions. Now it amounted to seventeen millions and a half, so that in point of fact it had more than doubled itself within the last forty-nine years. Had the means of spiritual instructice been anything like doubled during that period, even supposing the country sufficiently supplied at that time? (Hear.) But from whom did the applications for spiritual assistance come—who were those devoted clergymen who sought their assistance and support? They were men labouring among five, six, seven, and sometimes ten thousand souls. scattered over a large parish. (Hear, hear.) They should bear in mind too that in the parishes where assistance was required the income of the clergy man was so small that he was unable to afford to pay for assistance himself. The rev. gentleman then referred to the case of an incumbent, 87 years of are, whose income was £l4O, and whose parish contained 5,000 souls, scat tered over eight miles. They would see that it was im possible for him to provide the necessary pastoral super intendence and teaching. What was the result of the Society's aid ? They had now three full additional ser vices every Sabbath, three on the week days, and not only had schools been erected but two chapels had been built, and one purchased from the Dissenters, proving that if the Church be but true to herself the population of the land are not anxious to dissent from the Church but would rather continue within her pale. (Cheers.) It was, however, said by some that it was the duty of the state to provide for the spiritual wants of the people. Granting that it was the business of the state to provide for the people being taught in the true religion, and he, for one, held that it was the bounden duty of the state to provide for the spiritual teaching of every man, woman, and child, throughout the land. (Cheers.) This was the very principle of an establishment. Not that it should patronise religion to a certain extent, and leave the rest to be done by voluntary subscription. The state, however, was not willing to do that, and therefore they sought to accomplish it in another way. (Hear, hear.) It had been said they need not ask the assistance of the state, or of Christian men either, if they would only distribute equally the revenues already in possession of the church. Cer tainly, if the exaggerated statements which had been put forth, with reference to the revenues of the Establishment, were true, be admitted that fact ; but he ventured to as sert that there was no single subject on which there was so much misapprehension and misrepresentation. (Hear, hear.) Something had been done by the division of large parishes, and most probably more would be done by the commission recently appointed, but still if all was done that could be, it would not supply the wants of the people ; for if all the church property were equally divided among the existing incumbents it would not give them more than £2OO a year each. (Hear, hear.) Then, if the revenues of the church were not enough, they were compelled to apply for voluntary contributions. After defending the principle of voluntarism, in connection with an Esta blished Church, when that church was insufficient for the wants of the people, the reverend gentleman concluded with an eloquent appeal in behalf of the society, and re sumed his seat amid loud cheers. The Rev. HUGH STOWELL next rose to address the meeting, and was received with loud cheers. He said the difficulty in speaking of the Church Pastoral Aid Society was not in finding material, but in selecting it, for he did not know of one topic connected with it which was not sufficient to arouse the attention and secure the approba tion of all. Tt was one of the most comprehensive, and possessed every kind of instrumentality which told upon the church. In one point it was a most efficient church building society. It did that on the right principle; it begets the demand and then furnishes the supply—it ob tained the swarm and then hived it—it produced the con gregation and then built the church. More than 100 churches were indebted to this institution for their erec tion. (Loud cheers.) It first awoke the desire for spiri tual good and then the people themselves set about, de termined to have a constant supply. One great reason was, it had been purely a missionary work. He conceived it would be a great mistake in the Church Missionary Society if they were to go about and erect churches on the most tractarian principle of architecture, with screens to hide the minister from the people, and then leave the people to themselves whether they would visit it or not. The true principle, however, was to get a con gregation first, and a church would follow. (cheers.) Get a congregation, and then if nothing better could be pro vided, get a log temple, wherein the worship would be as acceptable as in the finest architectural structure, even if built on the most approved Trac4 - arian principle. (Loud cheers.) If they viewed the society on another principle it was equally as imporeant. The Church Pastoral Aid Society was one of the very hest Protestant associations. (Applause.) When he used that word, it was not as a term of reproach, for, under God, it had been one of the best means of rousing the Protestant feeling of England and Ireland from the state of syncope in which it was, and now her Majesty's ministers don't dream of endowing the Romish priesthood of Ireland, and if they did, such: would be the feeling of the country, that they would not be able to stand up against it. This, however, is ame valud.ile institution, in some respects, for th, Association was naturally only a defensive i ns tit u ti on , whereas the Church Pastoral Aid Society did more—it carried the war into the enemy's camp, for what after all was Popery but ignorance, and the object of the Church Pastoral-Aid Society was to dispel ignorance. He zran- a Protestant , ted there were a few sprigs at Oxford who.attrYe7tedly the fine drapery of the Church of Rome, had been sedu ced into her pale; but after all the spirit of Romanism was ignorance. (Hear, hear.) The more they advanced the light of the Gospel of Christ throughout the length and breadth of the land—the more they brought it to bear against popery—though sbe might charm never so wisely—though she might exhibit all her most favourable airs and exert her most attractive influence, the people of this country would not listen to her voice when the still small voice of the Gospel was heard. (Cheers.) If our people are well versed and instructed in the Bible, they had an antidote to all the pestilence of Rome. He had no fear for the population of this country if the people be only a Bible-reading, a Bible-loving, and a Bible-living people. He beseeched them to love and support the Church Pastoral-Aid Society, for it sent forth none but faithful ministers,—because it would take care that no jesuit in disguise should creep in to poison the minds of the people, but that they shall be men who have signed the articles not in a non-natural sense, but that they are plain honest-hearted Protestant Churchmen, who will preach in accordance with the articles they have sub scribed, and the creeds and formulas of the Prayer- Book. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) If the Church Pastoral Aid Society were to withdraw the veto, he (Mr, Stowell) should withdraw from it. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He believed it was an uncompromising Pro testant society. If it did not stick to that it 'you'd soon sink.—(Hear, hear.) It was also a political institution of a most valuable description. They would perhaps startle at this, seeing it was forbidden ground. He con tended, however, that to banish politics from the christian arena was a fair way to banish God from the land. Chris tianity had to do with every class of politicians. It told , upon every one whatever party he belonged to in the state. It did so by bringing the mass of the population to read the word of God, which would teach them how to act as ciCzens, as well as Christians. It was in this way, and only in this way they desired to make our poptilation political—not men who would be led away with mere porty politics or faction—men who would love Britain as all hound up together with th woukt she, world, the cheers.) It th,_ said, was it not manifest in the convulsion of nations which had lately taken place throughout the world. Wha had kept this country safe amid the storms which had convulsed other nations ? He did not hesitate to say that all the wise measures taken to keep our country 5 , asked hi distribution of the army—Nl capable, as it had been well o this we 'a our wise constitution— rved by the chair expanding its, keep the country at peace, if it. were not for t of gocd Protes among the masse at Christian feeling which prevailed (Hear, hear.) The agitators quailed and turned r le, not_ so much before the bayonets of tl soldiery as before their own c enough of Christian feeling existinTiWConvinee - th;;; that they were wrong. tie was speaking what he knew to he true when he asserted that the very men who were and daring when in front of a foreign enemy became craven cowards when attempting to fight against their own country. (Loud cheers.) May Britons always be thus cowards to do evil and heroes to do good. (Loud applause.) May they always account it their highest v. honour not to dare to do anvthinz wrong. but their highest courage to fear God, to honour the Queen ; and, thank God, we have a Queen that we can count it our highest privilege to honour. (Loud cheers.) He knew that her Majesty was a contributor to both the Bible Society and Church Missionary society, and that not ostentatiously in her public character, but in her own parish of Windsor, and in her private character. (Ap plause.) This gave them an insight into the heart of Vic toria, and told them that notwithstanding all the influence of Tractarianism, and all the bulls of the Vatican, Queen Victoria loved the Bible and the Bible Society, and next to that the Church Missionary Society. (LoUd cheers.) He looked upon the Church Pastoral Aid Society next, as a true-hearted Church Society. He re-echoed all the sentiments which had been uttered on this subject, but. he added that no Society was more calculated to strengthen the hands of the Church than that Society. It did not on crying the Church, the Church—we al men, and there is salvation only here one are but it work of the Church—it told to the people what the Church really was, instead of using hard words they did not understand. The people did not understand what Apostolical Succession meant, but they could understand that Apostolical Succession that brought the clergyman to the poor man's sick bed—that brought him to si r t'Clowzl on the three-legged stool in the cottage, and took the cottager by the hand as a brother. (Cheers.) They did not understand the past, but could reason on the present and the Church whose clergy were to be found cellar and the garret of the poor—who would the injured and vindicate his cause, was sure to be et stand b shrined in t iearts le_ people Loud c Nay more, the Church of England went forth to search for the lost of Christ's fold in the highways and hedges. Time was when this was done almost alone by our dis senting brethren, but he thanked God the Church had now outstripped them in the good work. Did he ro.proacl them for it. No, but he hoped they would go on ing each other in love. The people however —(the Church's)—they were given were t by the State, and by the country, and therefore the clergy were bound to look after them, and the way to do it was not by reviling dissenters, but by out -loving them— by out -tE king t out-workirig them— out-preaching them;:by out-teaching them: (Cheers,) If they would do this the people. would not leave the church, and they might depend upon it, with all its f they would not find such another. (Loud cheers was on board a fine old vessel, though some of her tin_ bers might be shivered, he should look out well before he left her whether the one he was about to enter was safe and sound or not. They might depend upon it, before he became a Dissenter, he should see his way clear. (Loud cheers.) The Church of England had sto centuries, and though at one time she ha oven boarded Popish pirates, who impeded her progress, yet they had thrown them all overboard, and her destiny was onward —onward. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He had known many communities leave her and become Dissenters, hoping to erect a more pure church, but he never knew any who did not in the end suffer by their separation. There never could be a pure church until man himself was perfect. It was a useless attempt to root up the tares, when our Saviour had said, " Let them alone until the harvest." Their duty was to try to do them good. It was, however, said they were enemies to reform. He de nied it. He said, let every abuae be inquired into, and, where discovered, done away with, The church had no , thing to fear from inquiry. It would only be the means of renderine her more pu're. Let every thing be brought to the full blaze of Gospel light, and that which could not stand that test let it be done away with. It tens PIIIIPTV which dreaded the light, and not the Church of England. The Church Pastoral Aid Society had done more to reform than anything else. By calling attention to the large pa rishes some had already been divided—others must be. (Hear, hear and loud cheers.) The narishes had its vested rights as well as the clergy, and though he would not do injustice to any man, he would least of all do injustice o parishioners He would not left to enrich the clergy, but to ev . ang - eli'se the people. (Applause.) The rev. gentleman then eloquently advo cated the sub-division of large parishes as a hundred times more important than dividing the dioceses. (Loud cheers.) After observing, that in his opinion the revolutions of the continent were nothing in comparison with what was cominz,.and urging on England to imitate the conduct of the Ninevites, by repentance, the rev. gentleman con cluded with an eloquent appeal in behalf of the society as a means of spreading the Gospel of Christ - serving order in the land, and resumed hi cheers seat amid During the singing of a hymn a collection was made in behalf of the society. The Rev. W. Pollock then, in an impressive manner, pronounced the Apostolic benediction, after which the meeting separated. THE EVENING MEETING Another meeting in furtherance of the same object wa s held at the same place in the evening, the worshipful the Mayor in the chair (who had immediately before presided at the District Provident Society). Prayer was offered up by the Rev. W. Pollock, after which His Worship the MAYOR addressed the meeting, ex- pressing the pleasure he had in presiding that occasion. The institution they had met to support was one capable of accomplishing more good perhaps than any oth er i n the kingdom The Rev. C. W. LAWRENCE, secretary to the society read the report. The Rev. Taos. COWAN, incumbent of St. Thomas', Toxteth-park, moved the first resolution. lie described the Church Pastoral Aid Society as supplying tne defects of the regular machinery, which had been found quite in adequate to the altered state of society arising from in creased population and other causes. The rev. gentle man deprecated the practice of Sunday duty in the Post office, but trusted this scandal would be wiped away shortly, there being at the present time an order on the books of the Town Council proposing a petition to be forwarded to government, praying for the discontinuance of this evil practice. He designated the national church as the one and only mediator between the poor and the rich, and the Pastoral Aid Society had multiplied the voices which advocated the cause of the poor. The Rev. JOHN HARDING, Rector of Blackfriars, Lon . don, seconded the reso l u ti on : H e r eferred to the twelve grants in Liverpool and the two in Birkenhead received from the society, and which he showed had been instru mental in working an immense amount of good. The society had been the means of gaining to the service of the church many pious men. He was sorry that the state of the funds of the society compelled them to refuse many applications which lay at present before the society. There were at present seventy of such applications before them, four of which were from Liverpool. He trusted his hearers would determine whether these applications were to he rejected or riot. He alluded to the fact of Liverpool having forwarded a sum of money in aid of the society's operations in Southwark, which is described as one of the most neglected districts about London, until the Bishop of Winchester took steps to extend the bene fits of scriptural instruction to its benighted inhabitants. This good work was carried out by grants from the Society, by the appointment of a clergyman. He next referred to the exertions being made by the Rev. Mr. Champneys, in Whitechapel, London, where a church bad been built, every seat in which was free ; the Society are also main- taming a clergyman T.

A reward of .0360 ha's beet of the murderers of Mr. Griffith, 0 - We believe that since Thursday week upw'ards of hundred thousand barrels of flour have been released from bond—a quantity nearly equal to what was released during the preceding twelve months.

ARREST OF AN IRISH MURDERER IN LIVERPOOL. — On Sunday a man named Cearns Boswell was arrested in Great Howard -street, in this town, charged with the murder of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, at Roscommon, about a year ago. The rev. gentleman, it may be remembered, was shot as he was returning home in his carriage from church. .ed for the apprehension he brewer, of Brighton. JENNY LINU IN ORATOILIO.—The musical world have before them a rich treat in the appearance of this accom plished and benevolent songstress on Thursday next, at the Collegiate Institution, in Mendelsohn's splendid opera of " Elijah." A few days ago she sustained the same part in Manchester, and on Thursday last in Bir mingham, and in both places the critics speak in rapturous terms of her excellence, preferring her singing of sacred music to any of her previous efforts. We can quite be lieve the representations made of the fervour and feeling with which she seemed to pour her whole soul into the sublime strains of Mendelsohn's sublime work. The fact is in keeping with her whole character, with the tone of her mind, and with those deeply implanted feelings of re ligion which seem to direct her conduct. We may. with safety, venture to predict that the performance on Thurs day will be the most brilliant in which she has taken part in Liverpool. THE WEATHER.—The week ending last night has been, on the whole, peculiarly fine and agreeable for so early a period of the spring. We have had two or three down falls of rain, but not heavy or long-contintu ing the last three days, our roads and streets prime order for travellers.
