CHASE AND ESCAPE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday ONE OF THE "Two IGNORANT PAUPERS" se'nnight the loiterers on the Prince's Pier were not a little EMPLOYED AS AN ASSISTANT IN THE amused and interested by the novel expedient successfully WORKHOUSE SCHOOL adopted by a juvenile delinquent for the purpose of escaping Liverpool Workhouse, 261/s June, 1843. - entanglement in the meshes of the law. A young lad, who had been stealing copper nails from the Prince's Dock Grid iron, was observed by a policeman, and the consequence was a run along the pier, the lad exerting all his speed, the police man pursuing leisurely, knowing that there was one of his brethren at the other end of the pier to stop the fugitive, and trusting to the high wall on one side and the river on the other to prevent his escape in any other direction. The chase, however, seemed to be as fully alive to the obstacle in front as his pursuer, for. rushing down the Floating Bath steps, he stripped with marvellous expedition, and, leaving his clothes on the steps, committed himself,with infinite promptitude, to the river, the tide being then at strong ebb. The baffled pur suer, nothing daunted, took up the abandoned garments, and, still deeming himself secure of bis prey, kept pace with the swimmer along the pier, expecting him to land at the first steps, or, at all events, et the end of the pier. In this, how ever, he reckoned without his host, for the lad swam gallantly onwards, leaving pier, policeman, and clothes all behind. The guardian of the law being thus at a nonplus, and, possi bly, admiring the spirit of the delinquent, and having an eye to the contingency touching hanging or drowning, gave up the clothes to a lad amongst the bystanders, who, we believe, followed the fugitive along the shore, and, ultimately, re stored them to the proper owner,who-effected a safe and suc cessful landing opposite the Bootle pillars. INQUESTS, BEFORE P. F. CURRY, ESQ.—On Saturday, on view of the body of Henry Coxaan, a boy of 7 years old, who, while gathering rushes, on Wednesday evening, a t a pit in Windsor formed by an old quarry, fell into the water, and instantly sank. There was another little boy with li'm, but he could render him no assistance. The deceased lived with his parents in Roscoe-lane.—Verdict, " :.alcidentally drowned." Same day, on the body of Samuel Williams, aged 12 years. On Friday, deceased had been talking to a little boy on board of a schooner lying in the Salthouse dock. The latter went into the cabin for a short time, and on his return missed the deceased. Another lad pointed to a cap floating in the water alongside, to the ship-boy, who instantly recognized it as that worn by the deceased. The alarm was given, and the deceased was found in a few minutes, but was quite dead. Verdict, " found drowned." Same day on the body of John Lloyd. aged 45. On Saturday morning deceased was engaged in Robertson-street, Tox teth-park, in putting some pigs into a cart, when the horse took fright and ran away. Deceased, in endeavouring to stop the animal, got crushed up against the wall by the shaft of the cart, and was so much injured that he died in a few minutes. Verdict accidentally killed.—Same day, on view of the body of Richard D aggers , cap t a i n of a brig called the Alpha. It appeared that, on Friday night while the vessel was on her return to this port, and was off the Tuskar Light House, the deceased went forward to the bow and fired off a small cannon, which happening to burst carried away the whole of his scalp, scattering the brains over the deck. He, of course, was picked up a corpse. Verdict—" Accidental death." Same day, on view of the hody of Ann Mars, a child under two years old. On Friday, while a cart was passing along Chartre-street, deceased suddenly ran out of a coal-yard right under one of the wheels, which went over her neck, and caused instant death. Verdict, " accidentally killed." Restos:a FOR TERRACES IN THE PRINCE'S PARK.—In March last an advertisement appeared, announcing that one hundred guineas would be paid in premiums for the best de signs for four terraces, to be erected in Prince's Park, now in progress, on a scale evincing much liberality and taste in the proprietor, R. V. Yates, Esq. Designs for three of the terraces, A. B. and D., have since been received, and are now on view in the lecture-room of the Lyceum, the re spective prizes to be awarded for the best, of which are for A, £35 ; for B, £2O ; and for D, 30 guineas. It appears that those for the other terrace (C) are yet in abeyance. We yesterday briefly inspected the designs on view for.the three terraces, each of which will comprise a number of houses, which are to be built within the park, in isolated ranges, near its north-east boundary ; and we were much gratified by the - talent displayed in a cousiderable number of them. They are 20 in number, and nearly all in the Italian style, if we except a few of what we must call non-descripts. They are all four stories in height. We do not deem it necessary to notice them in detail. There is a prospective view, or front elevation, of each to the park,—also an en trance elevation or view to the road,—together elaborate plans of the proposed interior arrangements. No. 13, with the motto " Nunquant non paratus," (we take them at random,) has considerable merit; but is rather heavy, and, perhaps, too expensive for a range of villa residences. It is, we believe, from .London, and appears to be almost a counterpart, but more elaborate, of Gambia -terrace, in this town. This style, we think, sprang up in the 15th century, and spread rapidly . over Europe. There is a rusticated base ment, with a colonnaded centre-piece, surmounted by a pediment with figures in the tympanum. Over each end or wing, also in projection, with columns, is a dome, or canopy, the roof of which is surrounded by allegorical figures, with l o'v tow roo "'eott tisillou again s t an a tte m pt, w hi c h i s at this, ,sii,lnalting, to esta bli s h , i n t h e town o f Li vcrpool °- hose ')::41Y, of s i m i lar Ant i -church capa b ilities to Chester the defunct Police Commissioners of Man lispli The Select Vestry of Liverpool is at present, at Iverit„.3'' Conservative.

Jtnathan Brooks, rector, has been pleased to appoint Mr. William Maybrick as successor to his late father in the situation of clerk to the parish church of St. Peter. MR. MOLYNEUX'S PUPILS.—Mr. Molyncux's pupils were examined one day last week, before a fashionable company, as to their proficiency in musical acquirements. The utmost delight was experienced by all present. PUBLICANS, &c.—Six publicans were on Friday brought up for infringing the law, and fined from £5 to £2 10s.; and four beersellers were fined from £1 to £2 10s. each for simi lar offences, and one case was postponed for further inquiry. CAUTION TO SHOPKEEPERS.—Yesterday, a boy named John Duddon, was committed for trial at the next Sessions, for having stolen from the shop-door of Mr. Robert Evans, Old Haymarket, nine waistcoat peices, worth 165., about ten o'clock on Saturday night last. THE LIVERPOOL WAREHOUSE FlRES.—Since our last, experiments have been made of the effect produced on cot ton by lucifer matches being enveloped therein, as found on Tuesday morning in two warehouses in the vicinity of Dundee street. The result confirms the belief that all, or nearly all, the recent great fires were the work of incendiaries. BIRKENHEAD FAIRS.—The following are the days on which these fairs are holden :—LaSt Tuesday in February, last Tuesday in April, third day in July, and eight day of October. When either of those days fall on a Saturday or Sunday, the fair will be holden on the Friday preceding. The next fair will be held on Monday next, 3d July, as may be seen from advertisement. uo s , I N Radical cliqu e in the select vestry, upo n here 48Ive ti ,g B and desi gns we h ave b r i e fl y remarked .nav medium thi s week given to the world, through thei r tedium of th e R a di ca l press, • what they 1 1 aps report on the state of the workhouse." al of this document, the first thing which 1 11 4 re i , lB , its in formality.

Bagot, which arrived at this port on Thursday, were landed from the steamer Monkey by the Egremont boat, and imme diately conveyed to the Adelphi Hotel, whence they were conveyed on the following day to their final destination, Blithfield House, Staffordshire. The funeral took place yesterday (Monday). THE STEAMER BRITANNIA.—WhiIst No. 2 Pilot-boat was on the westward station, on the 12th instant, the wreck of the mast of the steamer Britannia, belonging to the City of Dublin Company, was fallen in with. The crew of the pilot-boat succeeded in getting the large copper lamp, value £8 or £9, which has been sent to the company's office. They would also have saved much rope, &c., had not the heavy swell prevented them. MUNIFICENT DONATIONS.—The late Joseph Ridgway, Esq., of Ridgemont, near Bolton, amongst other liberal bequests enumerated elsewhere, has made the foilowir.g (free from legacy duty) for the benefit of institutions in this town, to take effect after the decease of his widow :—For the Liver pool School for the Blind £5OO, Liverpool Blue Coat School £2OO, Liverpool Deaf and Dumb School £2OO, Liverpool Collegiate Institution £2OO. MONUMENT TO THE LATE RIGHT HON. GEORGE CAN NING.—A meeting of the subscribers to this moutnent (which now stands upon the grand staircase of the Town-hall) was held. a few days ago, at the Town-hall, for the_ purpose of . -- appropriating the balance of the funds collected for the mon ument, and remaining in the hands of the treasurer. The surplus amounted to £872. It was agreed, we understand, that this sum should he divided equally between the Collegi ate Institution, the Mechanic's Institution, and the Royal Institution. HONESTY REWARDED.—A poor man, named George Gale, whilst walking on the shore between Egremont and New Brighton, on Saturday week, picked up a letter contain ing cash and bills amounting to upwards of £3OO. He pro ceeded to the house of Mr. Thomas Cross, shoemaker of Birkenhead, and produced the treasure. Mr. Cross advised Gale to accompany him to the house of J. D. Case, Esq., the magistrate, and deposit the money in his hands. On Monday last information was received which led to the dis covery of the owner, a gentleman in Liverpool, who gener ously presented Gale with £l2. THE REV. W. FALLooN.—The Belfast Chronicle, in an nouncing the appointment of this reverend gentleman to St. John's Church, in this town, says "Mr. Falloon is the son of the Rev. Marcus Falloon. who for many years was resi dent in the neighbourhood of Belfast, as incumbent of Drum bo. He is now rector of Layde (Cushendall), and has been always distinguished as a sound, faithful, and eloquent dit ine. His son, the Rev. Wm. Falloon, not only in this diocese, but also in Liverpool (where he was assistant to the Rev. Hugh M`Neile), obtained universal approbation, not only for the proper exercise of those gifts by which be is favoured, but for diligence and discretion in his office." GENERAL BANK OF COMMERCE.—We have to call atten tion to the advertisement of this concern in another column. We have carefully perused the prospectus, containing the views of the projectors and a synopsis of the deed of settle ment, wiiir the state of the law as effecting similar institu tions in France, with some details as to their past working ; and really, we must say, the latter put to shan4e the im provident management of the joint-stock banks of this country. In addition to these evidences, we should think that the respectability of the names which appear on the face of the prospectus is a guarantee of the bona fide character of the proposed new institution. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS.--The annual sermons in aid of the funds of the Church of England Schools were preached on Sunday in the several churches of the town. We have ascertained that at St. Andrew's, £46 were collected, at St. Jude's £45, at St. Nicholas's £l7 35., at St. Peter's £l5, at Edge Hill £2l, at St. Barnabas £ll 3s. 4d.. at St. Bartholomew's -fa 155., at St. Luke's £7 4s. Collections were also made at several others, but but we have not beard the amounts. We may remind our readers and friends, that, although the Corporation Schools are now under proper management, there is still the same necessity for the support of the Church of England Schools that there was seven years ago, if the principle of scriptural education is to be main tained. one on each of the canopy tops. 'there is also an allegorical figure at each point of the pediment. Of No. 1, a long un broken building, with a variety of window blinds, we cannot say much. The manner proposed of lighting some of the kitchen windows from the centre of the flower-plots is some what amusing. No. 18, a design for 14 or 18 houses, ap pears to us to be pretty good. It is of the palacial Italian, but is spoiled by sameness in details. No. 14, by the same archi tect as No. 6, is a splendid production, in the Italian style. The west end elevation is beautifully got out. Of No. 12, a sort of Roman structure, with octagonal Gothic chimneys, we shall say—nothing. No. 6, by the author of 14. is one of the best in the room. It is also an Italian specimen, and truly handsome, though not elaborate. No. 15, Itali an ,— heavy, with badly contrived entrances : it has Tuscan columns supporting a balustrade. No. 16, a heterogenous mass of Byzantian and Italian, blended with apparently Chinese, or Turkish, or something else. The author states that it is "in the Italian style, with campaniles to four houses, which may be converted into smoking rooms,"—a very good notion for the deck of a transatlantic steam ship. No. 10, Italian, with a balustrade surmounting an arcade—not very striking. No. 5, very plain, but very pretty, in the Italian palacial style. The centre building is a little in projection, and slightly ele vated by blocking over the balustrade blocking. The ends or wings are also slightly raised by higher balustrading and blocking. The basement is rusticated. This we take to he one of the very best designS for the purpose in the room. It is at once chaste, lively, and elegant, and the proposed plan of cutting up the interiors also appears to he excellent. It is ' we have heard, by our townsma n , M r . H orn bl ower . N o . 3 has some good points, but a heavy, long, unbroken centre. No. 17, Italian, with semicircular topped windows to the upper story, pretty good. No. 2is in the collegiate T u dor or Gothic style, and would perhaps be suitable for a school house, but is scarcely applicable for villas. There are seve ral others, which we leave unnoticed for want of room. What we have submitted merely refers itself to a matter of taste, and it is very possible that we have erred in judgement. We are glad, however, that the competition has been roused by the spirited proprietor of the land, as we feel assured that it will lead to a gratifying result so far as the public is con cerned. The prizes are not yet awarded. HERR STAUDIGL'S CONCERT.—This splendid singer, who appeared on Tuesday at the Royal Assembly-rooms, will sing again on Friday, when it is to be hoped a very numerous attendance will be present to enjoy his wonderful powers of voice, and his transcendant mu•ical talents. Madlle. Pau• line Lang has been engaged, and will sing " Die Post Horn" and other favourite compositions. Amongst the selections allotted to Herr Staudigi are the following :—Duetto with Madlle. Pauline Lang, " Se la vita," (Semiramided Ros sini ; " Wer ein liebchen hat gefunden," (Seraglio,) Mo zart; " Der Erl Konig," Schubert; " Solche hergelaufene laffen," (Seraglio,) Mozart; " In diesen Ileiligen Hallen," Mozart; " Oh ! ruddier than the cherry," (Avis and Gala tea.) Handel; " Der Wanderer," Schubert; " Revenge," (MS. Opera,) Hatton. INCOME-TAX SURCTIARGES.—On Thursday evening an extraordinary general meeting of the Guardian Society was held at the Clarendon-rooms, Mr. Hickey in the chair, when the grievous operation of surcharges upon income tax returns, and the disregard evinced towards the solemn statements made by parties assessed, were taken into consideration. A requisition was unanimously decided upon, to be presented to the mayor, signed, not only by members of the society, but others, requesting his worship to convene a town meet ing for the purpose of addressing the government, to prevent similar causes of dissatisfaction in future, by proper instruc tions to the local commissioners; it being understood that there was no wish to dispute the principle of the tax itself during the remainder of its present term, but. to antend the mode of its administration, which has hitherto been so an noying and oppressive. OTTERSPOOL, NEAR LIVERPOOL.—This place is pleasantly situated on the banks of the Mersey, and has a berutiful undulation of surface. The kitchen and fruit-gardens are well conducted, and are kept very clean. In the forcing de partment we observed art excellent crop of Grapes and some good Pines. In one of the plant-houses are some very large healthy bulbs of the most esteemed sorts of Amaryllis; we also noticed some remarkably fine plants of the Gloxinia maculata, which were obtained by leaving one stem to form a plant. In the house devoted to the cultivation of Orchi deaceous plants is a very large specimen of Cattleya Mos site ; it is the original plant imported by the liberal proprie tor of this place, and from which the figure was taken for the Botanical Magazine. At the time of our visit it had twelve spikes of flowers, and was really a magnificent object. We were informed by the intelligent gardener, Mr. James, that it has not flowered since the figure was taken till the present year. Among the others in flower we observed Cat tleya Forbesii, tmcidium ampliatum, 0, Lanceanum, 0, purnilum, and a fine plant of 0. papilio, with eight flower spikes, Macillaria aromatics, Broughtonia sanguiue a , C a . tanthe veratrifolia, &c. The flower-garden contains some wefl•arrangrd beds, and has a pretty appearance, it has an elevated walk on three sides from which you get some splen did views of the Mersey and the county of Cheshire, with the Welsh mountains in the back grou..d.—Gardeners Chro nicle. THE FUNDS: SATURDAY EVENING.—Stocks continue to advance. Business generally was good to-day, and with the support which the favourable discussion on the state of affairs in Ireland in the House of Commons last night gave to the market, the improvement is well maintained. Consols for the account left off at 04/ ; Bank Stock was last quoted 179 to 180; Three per Cents. Reduced. 94/ to 95; Three-and-a halt per Cents. Reduced, 1014 to 1; Long Annuities, 12:`,', to 11-16; India Bonds, 63. to 655. pm. ; and Exchequer-bills, 545. to 565. pm. In the foreign market the dealings were not of a very extensive character. Spanish securities have scarcely varied from the closing quotations of yesterday, the Actives being 191 tog ; and the New Three per Cents.. 271 tot. Dutch Two-and-a-balf per Cents. were steady at the rather higher value of 541 to 5; and the Five per Cents. at 100 to ; Belgian left off 1021 to 1031 ; Austrian, 111 to 113 ; Brazilian, 71 to 73 ; Buenos Ayres. 24 to 26 ; thilian, 92 to 24 ; Danish, 85 to 86 ; Mexican, 28 to 3 ; the deferred, 8 to 4 ; Colombian, 23 to 4 ; and Portuguese converted, 41 to 4. TEACHING A FOREIGNER TO SPEAK ENGLISH.—my friend the foreigner called on me to bid me farewell before he quitted town, and on his departure he said, " I am going at the country." I ventured to correct his phraseolo g y b y saying that we were accustome d to say " going int o t h e country." He than4ed me fur this correction. and said he had profited by the lesson, and added, " I will knock in(o your door on my return."—Memorials. GRAND EXHIBITION AT THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. Cicero, the distinguished scholar and orator, beautifully and emphatically exclaimed— " Scire aliquid lotus est ; pudor est nihil discere velle :" or, in other words, " It is a credit to know anything; not to have a desire to learn is a disgrace." we were reminded of this expression of the noble Roman by a visit to the Colle giate Institution at the close of the last week; and it appears to us to be strongly applicable not only to the students of that noble seminary of education —who would do well to adopt it as their watchword—but to our townsmen and fair towns- women, who have now an opportunity of inspecting within its walls one of the most splendid, valuable, and extensive polytechnic collections of works of art, science, and inge nuity, that ever perhaps (nutted public attention and chal lenged universal admiration, even in an age'and in a country singularly advanced in philosophical and mechanical disco very and enlightenment. It is impossible, indeed, for the best informed amongst us to take even a cursory glance at the numerous and varied specimens, classified and arranged in the many spacious rooms, without impressions of wonder and gratification at the deep research, varied talent, and per severing industry which they display ; without, in fine, learning much that we did not before know, and without acknowledging the wonderful triumphs—permitted to us by the Divine Architect—of the world of mind over the world of matter. Be it remarked, too, that there is nothing dry and uninviting; and that those whose habits, or the brevity of time at their disposal, disincline or prevent them from deri ving much instruction from what they behold, will find, apart from this primary consideration, an ample field for a few hours' pleasing and innocent amusement, and the grati fication of that curiosity in whatever is beautiful, useful, or rare, which is implanted in our nature, and which itself, striking the fancy as the flint does the steel, not unfrequently elicits the first sparks of talent, which may afterwards pro duce that blaze of genius which redounds to the honour and advancement of the individual. and to the advantage of the general mass of the community. It may be said, indeed, that earth and ocean have been ransacked to furnish this exhibi tion : the accumulated productions of the most distinguished labourers in the arena of science, from ages long swallowed up in the vortex of time, up to the present day, are here brought in reality before us, at, comparatively, a glance ; and we may trace the rise and gradual development of whatever is useful and ornamental in science and in art from the earliest dawn of civilization. The customs, manners, pursuits, and attain ments, too, of every country in the globe, are to a great ex tent illustrated, independently of t 4 repulsive study of ponderous tomes, which few have opportunity or leis'ure to pursue : mAern science, particularly in mechanics, is admi rably demonstrated in all its bran Ches by working models and machines ; and the power of that wonderful agent steam in all its branches is shown in most interesting activity and variety as connected with modern engineering on shore and at sea. The collection of models of vessels is very beautiful and ex tensive ; the pictures are very numerous, and include many of the most valued originals of the ancient and modern mas ters; and the natural history department is also replete with specimens of the first order. As it would perhaps require an entire day to inspect the whole of the exhibition with any approach to minuteness, so it would occupy a pretty large volume to describe it in any thing like detail; and our limits being necessarily circumscribed, all we can accomplish is but a slight sketch of the objects, in two or three successive no- • tices, that more particularly struck us as curious or interesting in the course of a ramble of several hours through the different apartments. Inviting the reader, therefore, to accompany us to the different departments in the order in which they are set down in the paper printed on the premises, and banded to visitors as a guide—and which they would do well for con venience to follow—we commence with Room, No. 1, on the ground story.—Here, there is a variety of elegant fire grates, patent stoves, cooking ranges, &c., in fine cast iron, polished steel, &c., showing all the recent improvements ; also handsome iron bedsteads, vases, &c., wholly contributed from the works of our townsman, Mr. Wm. Bennett. Some of the grates are of splendid workmanship, and admirably adapted to prevent dust and smoke, while at the same time they are highly ornamental. Three of them in particular are very fine —one having porcelain checks exquisitely adorned with rural scenes and delicate gilded ornaments. These are fixed in finely-sculptured gothic marble niantlepieces, by Mr. W. Spence; with classical figures in niches or on brackets, cut in the first style of the art. Here are also models of Espie's improved chimney cans or smoke vanes, in zinc, with an apparatus showing the manner of their working in the wind. There are also a capital lifting pump, chiefly of glass, and a v ar i e ty o f ot h er art i c l es. In No. 2, there are various improve,: agricultural imple ments, patent cooking apparatus, fot house and ship use, a large patent windlass of great power, patent iron tiles, a capital malt mill, by Cartmel, a washing machine, by Bettley and Higgs, and an excellent economical cooking range, by P. E. Wilson and Co. Here also is shown the real opera tion of fustian cutting, in its several varieties, by means of a long attenuated knife and guiding needle, which ploughs up the threads on one side of the cloth so as to form the nap or pile. _ _ _ 110. 3 is occupied with ornamental gilded, silvered, and bronze frame work for pictures, cabinets, and other arti cles. There is a splendid side board enriched with flower pieces in compartments, surrounded by delicate gilded and floriated frame-work, and topped with a splendid slab of mar ble. There are numerous fine modelled groups, in composi tion, for chimney and other ornaments, also statuary figures representing the several varieties of metals ; and the process of gilding, bronzing, &c., is carried on before the spectator by expert workmen. Many:of the modelled groups are beau tifully accurate and minute, and the bronzed and silvered busts of the rival queens Elizabeth and Mary of Scots will be much admired. The picture and mirror framework is also superb, and in great variety of design. Th e whole is con tributed by our townsmen, J. Clements and Son. No. 4 may be called the practical navigation room. Here are a numberof ships, barques, brigs, schooners, steam-boats, &c., under sail or steam, in a spacious canal and circular basin, forming a busy maritime view in minature. The whole interesting science of launching a ship is shown at intervals during the day. In the middle of the basin is a working model of an iron steam-boat with the screw lately patented by Messrs. Mather, Dixon, and Grantham, showing its saving in pow -r over the water-wheel of 25 per cent. She has a large East Indianian in tow, and the screw being turned by a pulley and band, working from the centre by means of a weight in an adjoining room, both ves-els move rapidly by means of the little screw—describing a circle. Outside of these is a larger steamer with paddle wheels turned by a working model-engine, sent by Mr. Pearson, which steams away rapidly round the outer circle cit the basin. In the water gold fish are swimming about ; or seeking the shade of the floating vessels, scared by the too pry ing eyes of the spectators. Here, too, are many cu rious models of Chinese junks, canoes, and modern Eu ropean vessels ; also a very ingenious Persian water wheel, by Mr. G. P. Payne, resembling an overshot water-wheel; and which, with very slight turning, and an immersion of the rim of only about an inch, lifts a large stream of water to the centre, where it is continuously discharged from a wide spout. This is a very neat and simple water wheel. There is here a neat model of the steamer " Napoleon," sent by Mr. Shanland, of Seacombe, a watchman's curious peg clock, a variety of steering wheels, and numerous nautical " imple ments,' specimens of chain cables, &c. • No. 5 is chiefly occupied by a circular iron railway, on which a handsome little locomotive moves rapidly by its own steam at stated hours during the day, showing also the new railway alarum or signal clock, by which the engineers con ducting trains can tell, as they pass the several stations, without stopping, and by night or day, the precise time when the last train passed, so that all collision may be avoided. No. 6,—hookbinding in all its departments : the smoothing of the sheets, after they leave the press, between rollers,—an improvement on the beating principle ; the folding and stitch._ _ . . ing by young women; the boarding, covering, lettering, and ornamenting. Here is a splendid case of books in various beautiful bindings. The whole was contributed and is con ducted by Mr. Wareing Webbe. There is also a paper-ruling ..machine. No. 7, on the second floor, is the British and foreign shawl mart and manufactory, with splendid specimens of which the room is hung. There is a tine Paisley jacquard loom at work, working the Collegiate shawl,"—a very chaste and beautiful pattern. The loom is very complicated, and the manner i❑ which the various and ever-changing colours are wrought into tne fabric is peculiarly interesting. Here are fac-similes of the two shawls presented by Mr. Pringle, the manufacturer, to the Queen ; also many others very large and valuable, and in a variety of patterns, includ ing Barege and French Llama shawls. We observed two ticketted at 20 guineas and 14 guineas respectively—also some of smaller size, but very beautiful, so low as 15s. These and many other articles manufactured in the rooms are on sale. No. 8, is the room for models in naval architecture, and, as we have before intimated, the collection is, perhaps, the most extensive and valuable that was ever brought together. We have not room to notice half of them, and they must be seen and examined by the curious in this important art to be duly appreciated. Ow entering, the visitor cannot fail to he at once astonished and delighted at such a combination of talent, industry, and science. Here is the large and fine, but now somewhat antiquated model of the ship of war " Liver " which was saved from the fire at our Town-hall many years ago. This was sent by the dock trustees, and was brought from one of the large staircases of the Custom house, where it is destined to be preserved as a pleasing memorial of the navigation of the port in bye-gone days. Around it are many beautiful large models, by Mr. E. Nielling, jun., the talented naval architect to the institution, most of them built of fine woods, varnished, in all the compli cated pieces, dimensions, fastenings, guns, and appurtenances of real vessels, and embracing every variety of craft from the small pleasure yacht to the merchant ship and the heavy man-of-war. These are all admirable in model and finish for the several purposes for which they are proposed, and cannot fail to gratify the eye of the sailor. The industry shown in their production is highly honourable to the artist, and the whole prove him to be perfect master of his art, and capable of turning it to the best practical account. We have never, indeed, seen finer bottoms. Amongst them we would particu larly direct attention to a 60-gun frigate; a 22-gun corvette; a large brigantine, with brass guns and fully rigged; a butter fly-rigged schooner ; proposed and _excellent model of a mer chant ship of 400 tons, showing all the timbers, deck framing, &c. ; a piratical schooner in the ribbons—a regular clipper; a pleasure yacht, and many others. Amongst the minute models is the rare and valuable collection contributed by our townsman Mr. T. Wilson, shipbuilder. They are 47 in number, built and fully rigged, with their sails set and every minute article on board, all cut in wood with astonishing accuracy. They are in fleets of several vessels of different classes, or in single ships, under glass cases. Amongst them (as stated in a brief printed notice) is every description of vessel, from the canoe and boat to the first-rate man-of-war, and varying in size from l inch in length to 14 inches. The Matchless, ship of the line, is of the former minute dimen sions; and for this alone 150 guineas have been offered. They were all made by French prisoners of war during their long confinement in England. They occupy a large exterior glass case, extending across the north end of the room. There are many oth er b eau tif u l and ingenious models, rigged and unrigged, in the room ; but we can only notice them at random. Those that most attracted us, en peasant, are a cutter arid schooner by Mr. T. B. Horner; a 58-gun frigate (the Inconstant, we believe) of the ne w c l ass, b y t h e same ; model of an i r o n s t e amer now buildi ng b y M essrs. Davenport, Grindrod, an d Patrick ; a Shields pilot-boat, with three keels—a curious, safe, and swift plan ; the bell buoy ; a 40-gun frigate, by Mr. Ralph Pearson ; the Neme sis, East India iron war-steamer, and 'others, by Mr. John Laird, including the iron pilot-brig Guide, recently lost on her voyage to India on a reef in the Western Islands, but from no fault of the vessel, either in sailing or solidity ; a New York pilot-boat, very fine, by Mr. John M orr i son; proposed steam. ship, by Mr. Harkness ; the Bl ac k P r i nce brig, at anchor off, the Rock Ferry, by John Clint, E sq. ; a steamer (City of Dublin), finely moulded, gilded, and fitted up; a New York small pleasure - boat, with a sliding k ee l t o be drawn up in shallow water; a large mahogany steam boat; a frigate in ivory ; a ship of the old school, c ap i ta l , sent by C. Horsfall, Esq. ; the Edith pleasur e -y ac h t ; a sharp schooner, oioroni e eir:btrooCnaepr building by Mr. Laird, to b e pro pelled M . Bride ; the N.W. i ron light ship; by Mr. Smith's screw, for the use of the Baptist Mis sionary Society in Africa, &c., i &c. Here ar e a l so some inte resting remains, in wood and ron,. of the R o y a l G eorge, sunk at Spithead in 1782, deposited by Capt. Brown, U.N., who was a witness to the melancholy event. This gentle man h as also de-posited a cabinet of oak, made of a piece of the Victory in which Nelson received his death wound, at Traf a l gar, on the 21st October, 1805. The handle Is in the form of an anchor, and the key of a great gun ; and inside, in two cases, like those of a tea-caddie, are " gunpowder" apd " shot." Here, - • • too, are a' tenet y of fine working models of patent windlasses', by Gladstone & Co. Betteley, Pow and Fawcus, and others. Besides the models there are, round the walls, numerous fine paintings of nautical subjects, ancient and modern, including several by our talented townsman, Mr. Walter. But, we repeat, the room must be visited, and its contents leisurely surveyed. No. 9. Here there is a small but curious collection of an cient and modern crockery ware, and a potters' wheel et . work, which turns o u t nu m ero us , and we may add, amusi ng specimens of ornaments, & c ., before m the visitas, chewing, with great rapidity, the art of turning and moulding in clay. There is a curious flask, found in the grave of an Inca chief in South America. No. 10 is occupied by the large model of Hobart Town, and a panoramic view of Sydney and the fine interior waters of the cove. The model is very minute and accurate in de- tails, showing all the streets, houses, public buildings dens, fences, &c., together with the harbour, and the lations of the site. Visitor 4 may be provided with a descrip tive guide. No. 11. The refreshment room, One end is entirely covered by Mr. 1-1 picture of the Battle of Agincourt, which we shall hereafter notice, as well as another pioture on the side wall me to the paintings. Between this and the Board Rom... No. I is the fountain, (No. 12) facing the large central window of the building. It is surrounded by exotics and evergreens, is discharged into a large circular basin, and has a most pleasing and cool effect. The Board Room contains the Town-hall portraits, by cele brated masters, of George 111 and IV, the Duke of York, Wellington and his horse, Charles 11, by Sir Godfrey Knell. &c. Also capital portraits of the Rev. H. M`Neile, Lord Stanley, John Gladstone. Esq., James Aspinall, Esq., and other distinguished individuals, with marble and other busts of eminent townsmen. There is also a beautiful marble sta tue of a peasant girl. Here there is a piano for the use of visitors. The chimney-piece. cut in stone in the Gothic style, is well worthy of observation. No. 14 is fitted up with steam engines at work, in great variety; also, a rotatory engine, by Yates, Rotherarn. One m-del, with a patent sliding crank, is ingenious. Here me- tats are timed; and ivory cut with a circular saw, &e. There is also a very noisy patent power-loom at work, by fienwor thy and Co. making cloth with great rapidity, without a hand being put to the shuttle. There are also a variety of other articles and models. No. 15. The type composing and distributing machine at work; a curious and ingeni ous apparatus, lik e a piano, and played upon in the same manner, setting pieces of poetry, &c. Also several handsome iron printing presses at work. No. 16 is appropriated to electrical, galvanic, and magne tic apparatus, in meddling with which the ladies and gentle men are suddenly quite " shocked," to the great amusement of the bystanders. Here, too, parties may be weighed and measured, and receive a ticket as at a weighing machine, for the small charge of a penny. No. 17 contains many fine specimens of hearth rug and car pet weaving, a large loom for which is at work. In No. 18 is the jacquard figured silk loom w or kin g ; al s o a stockiug loom, both curious and interesting. But we must close our present sketch, which embraces only the two louver floors. In our next publication, the first of the new series, (to be published on Tuesday next,) we shall notice the rooms in the two upper stories, which are perhaps still more interes ting, as they contain the pictures, the museums, curiosities, &c. &c. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SOCIETY FOR PRO MOTING CHRISTIAN EDUCATION IN SYRIA. A highly interesting series of lectures is in the course of delivery in the Music-hall, Bold-street, on the manners and customs of the inhabitants of the Holy Land, in illustration of the Scriptures, by Assaad Yacoob Kayat from the vicinity of Beyrout. The first was delivered on the evening of Friday last in the presence of a very numerous auditory, the room being completely filled, amongst whom we observed a large number of the clergy , a native of S The Rev. H. M'NEILE, who occupied the chair, said the object of the meeting was to hear an address upon the sub ject of Christian education in Syria, from their Christian friend and brother, Assaad Yacoob Kayat, a native of that country. He (the chairman) would not interpose between the auditory and their promised gratification by any prolonged observations; it might, however, be proper to state for the information of some present, that four years ago a Church of England Society for promoting Christian education in Syria, was instituted in this country under the patronage of the Lord Bishop of London, the Earl of Chichester, Lord F. Egerton, Lord Bexley, and Sir Thomas Acland, and it was under the management of a highly influential committee of both clergymen and laymen. The operations of the society were two-fold, in Syria and in England. In Syria with the -con sent, and he might add, with the active co-operation of the Patriarch of Antioch, and the bishops of his province, several schools had been formed. The Patriarch was himself a sub scriber to a school at Damascus where 200 boys were now under Christian education. There was also a school at Bey rout, the native place of their friend who would presently address them, containing 140 boys, and at each of these towns there was also a school for girls. This was an important and interesting feature in the case, because owing to the influence of surrounding Malioniedenisni the female character had been long neglected and debased in that part of the world. Even the females of the more wealthy Christians had been totally destitute of education, but now, we were happy to find that private teachers were employed in sothe such families, and schools were in process of operation for the female children of the poor. In Tripoli and other places, schools for boys had been lately established; and, he (the chairman) was much interested in one fact recorded in the last report of the society concerning a printing press which had been opened at Beyrout, the first fruits of which were elementary works, containing the Nicene and the Lord's Prayer, and the 51st Psalm, in the Arabic language. The operations of the society had been chiefly confined to the education of some young wen from Syria, whom they were desirous of instrneting in _ . the secular, as well as the sacred, branches of a comnetet education, in order that they might return to their ow country and prove effectual instruments for the encourage merit of literature, and the general civilization of their ne( pie, as well as for the direct propagation of the gospel c God. It was to give further information upon these interest ing topics, and to elicit that Christian sympathy h i th e taus Christian sympathy, namely, Christian liberality, that th friend was now among them. (Cheers.) ASAAD Y. KAYAT then came forward to deliver his let tore, and he was warmly received. He speaks English yer fluently, almost every word being correctly pronounced, an the emphasis properly placed. He commenced by some al lusions to his first visit to Liverpool four years ago, whey he was introduced by the chairman, as a minister of th blessed Gospel, and he gratefully acknowledged the kindnes and support then bestowed upon him, which had been th means of enabling ham to carry on his scheme for extending Christian education in Syria. He would first eive some in formation respecting his proceedir tore upon the manners and custo illustration of the Holy Scripture )efore he gave his lec of his own country, i remember that he had spent two years in this country, deavouring to obtain such Eng lish instruction as wou enable him to carry on his scheme for raising up a native agency in Syria. In 1840 he had the honour of going out with Lord and Lady ,Francis Egerton, with whom he tra velled through the country, and then he endeavoured to com mence the work of introducing Christian education, in order to spread the knowledge of our great Redeemer, and extend the truth as it is in Jesus. This was a difficult task, in deed, for one individual, and nothing but the determination he had formed in his own mind enabled him to proceed. Unfortunately, as soon as he had organised his plan the great expedition to overthrow the Egyptian government went forth from this country ; it did incalculable evil to the inha bitants—nay, it was impossible to conceive all the suffering they underwent in consequence of the war. It pleased God at that time to permit him to labour among the afflicted— those who were labouring under sickness arising from the destruction of their property, agues, fevers, and other mala dies—in Lebanon ; and he found the little knowledge.he had of medicine of great service in the relief of man At the same time he pressed upon the minds of the people the im portance of education, showing them that had they been an enlightened people they would not have incurred so much misery during the war. By degrees he obtained confidence ; nothing could remove him from the path of duty ; and he persevered although he was exposed to ignorance, bigotry, and all sorts of difficulty which, of course, must present themselves to the first reformer. But God enabled him to persevere, and after continuing three years in this cause, his friends in London, who had formed themselves into a committee to assist in working out his views, thought proper to send for him back in order to help in organising a more permanent system, for he bad strewed them that as the Syrian Christians spoke the same language, bore the same climate, resided in the same country as the Mahometans, they could therefore become the most eligible labourers in the work of God throughout the East, inasmuch as their language extended to almost all the 'Alahome tans in Asia, and among the most numerous tribes in Africa. The lecturer then proceeded at great length to give as ac count of the manners and customs of the inhabitants of Syria ; their costume, domestic habits and ceremonies ; strew ing that in the present day these existed in strict accordance with the descriptions given in the Sacred Scriptures. He observed that, throughout all ages, various nations, and va rious conquerors, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Saracens, the Crusaders, Turks, and Egyptians, h a d e n tered the l an d o f Syria; all kinds of languages were introduced, and every effort was taken to destroy Christianity, but they had all been in vain. The mariners and customs of the na tives each still illustrated the Holy Scriptures. Had the names of their cities been altered by the succes sive invaders, confusion would have been thrown upon Biblical history, and Christianity would have been exposed to the infidel objection that it was not true, since in the land where its chief events took place the piaces mentioned in the word of God did not exist. A Church was formed' of the converts to Christianity, but Christianity, it should be re membered, had existed in the land from the time of our Sa viour, and no Mahomedan invasion, no sufferings, no torture, no tyranny, nor all the most severe and oppressive measures adopted by the various conquerors to force them to embrace Mahomedanism, had been effectual. Thus the Christians re tained their religion, while all the people had kept close to those native manners and ceremonies which to this day il• lustrated the Holy Scriptures. He then rdferred to several passages from the Old and New Testaments, mentioning the custom at the time of the event, and showed that the very same customs were observed to this day. The events, too, recorded in the sacred volume were familiar to the people, while the most important circumstances attend ing the several invasions of the country were absolutely un known to them. Passing from the illustrations of Scrip ture, which we regret having no room to give in detail, the lecturer gave air interesting account of the progress which education is making in Syria, and of the relaxations of which he had set an example in the case of his own wife, of the prevailing customs with regard to females, whereby they were gradually being raised to the position which they ought to fill. A complete change was being effected by the means of education among the upper classes of society, and thus, he said, the effect of native agency in spreading religion arid knowledge was found most effectual: Six young Syrians were now receiving instruction in London at the expense of the society ; and the lecturer concluded by a lengthened and impressive appeal to the sympathiee of Liverpool to raise a fund sufficient to have one native youth educated here to enable him to do good in his native land. The Cn AIRMAN mentioned the imposture of the disguised Roman Catholic priest, who went about this city collecting subscriptions from the Protestants under the name of the Archbishop of Tripoli, and said that in this case of Assaad Y Kayat there was no fear of imposition, for the whole thing had been examined on the spot, and there could be no doubt whatever of his character and object. A collection was then made ; shortly after which the pro ceedings terminated. The second lecture was delivered last night, Mr. Adam .Hodgson in the chair. The subject was an account of the Christian church at Antioch, which it was shown had main tained the great essentials of the true faith. The details were interesting and very initiate. The wife of Alsaad was pre sent, and attracted much attention. The third and last lec ture of the series will be delivered on Friday next. His Grace the Duke of Cleveland has engaged a number of workmen to cut a drain in order to have water conveyed fern the place in the Flats-wood, near Thirnard-castle, where several men had formerly made the attempt to sink a pit, but were prevented by an overflow of water. It is sup posed that there is good coal at the place, and that the neigh bourhood will receive considerable benefit if his Grace be successful in his undertaking. BOTANIC GARDENS; The second grand Horticultural Show for the present year took place on Friday at these gardens, and the weather being delightfully fine, was more than ordinarily well attended-- there having been altogether two thousand persons present. Most of the leading families of the town and neighbourhood icited the grounds during the show, and we may mention in indred and fifty private carriages stopped at great number of vehicles of other lescriptions. The trees were in full leaf, and afforded a ;light protection from the beaming rays of the sun, which, hough almost insupportable, contributed in no small degree the beauty and gaiety of the scene, rendered still more by the ehgant and brilliant dresses of the -the ladies—who in considerable Ardens with their presence.

The geraniums were remarkably fine—those forwarded by Charles Horsfall and John Moss, Esqrs., and Messrs. Skirvinc and Whalley being . especially deserving notice. Mr. Skirving also merits our saying, that he not only sends plants for competition, but he also enriches the specimens by sendir - 1 number for the purpose of increasing the collec tion. The show of " Fuchsias" was also very good, as were the Heaths. The marquee was plentifully supplied with re freshments by Mr. Lynn ; and we must not omit to mention that the Royal Cheltenham Band of Mr. Parker, contributed materially to enliven the scene.

Sin.,—Allow me to call your attention to a few cheering circumstances connected with a subject which has of late oc cupied so large a share of public attention, and to which a prominent place has been assigned in the columns of four own valuable journal—l mean Tractarianism. First, let me notice the step taken by the University of Oxford to purge herself from the stain which rested on her honoured name connected with these modern errors; for surely reproach must attach Somewhere when nvm could be found dwelling so long within her hallowed walls, teaching doctrines so. letnnly repudiated by the University as a body, as well as by that church with which it is identified. At length the au thorities there have affixed to this revived Romanism an appropriate mark of their reprobation, and silenced one of their teachers. Christian parents may now hope that the Unseemly, shall we say dishonest, spectacle will not again be so flagrantly presented before their children's view, of seeing and hearing men in the " seat of the reformers" busily en gaged in " traducing the reformation." - Next, let us gratefully acknowledge the bold, open, mas. terly exposure of these fatal errors in the charge of the Bishop of Lincoln during the past week, not forgetting the triumphant overthrow of this " modified system of Popery" in the visitation sermon on the same day. Meantime tidings refreshing as cool waters to a thirsty soul are borne to us from the east. The senior Bishop of India has delivered his primary chiirge as metropolitan. The alarm with which this vigilant watchman viewed the rapid spread of these new opinions is known to many ; but the ex tent of his apprehensions was only known to those who had access to more private sourct s of information—but will now be understood by all who will peruse the important document above alluded to. In this charge the Bishop of Calcutta speaks with a tone of decision which proves at once the fearful character of the evil in his view, as well as the solemn obli gation under which he feels bound, unshrinkingly, to expose, refute, and denounce it. Had we more of this straightforward, honest, godly sincerity at home, and less of that mawkish sentimentality which pervades England like an epidemic, we would not have to mourn over so many writings, professing indeed to oppose this vil, yet with so much tenderness for the honour of these well-intentioned men, so much compli ment to their high characters, and so little tenderness for God's honour, so little jealousy for his high glory, that, ex cept for the title-pages, we could scarcely tell whether these pages were designed to write up Tractarianism, or to write it down. Weil may we say of such vapid things and their au thors—" Non tali auxilio nec defensoribus ixtis tempos eget." Not that we desire abusive language : I hope we can discriminate between decision and abuse. What I mean will he understood by contrasting the chicken-hearted, drooping, wavering style of some of the publications already alluded to, and the masculine vigour of such a passage as the following a the Bishop of Calcutta's newly printed charge. Refer. ,g to the tendencies of Tractarianism, and the conduct of its champions, Bishop Wilson thus writes—" For extract fro . . . . ..... _.... what is the tendency of the system up to the very hour I am writing but an increased approximation to 'all the corruptions and superstitions of papal Rome—so that even her idolatrous offices are being republished for the use of our Protestant people! And what are the leaders doing? Do they retract? Do they admit frankly the admonitions of the bishops? Nothing of the kind. They stop, indeed, one series of pub lications at the request of a diocesan,l3 ut immediately replace it by another equally obnoxious : they turn aside all the con demnations in the charges of different prelates, by affecting to consider them as founded on mistake : they pervert the terms of commendation in which their learning, their mo: 0 tives, and the incidental good th ey may h ave d one in awal:, cuing attention to matters of di sc i p li ne, h ave b een sp o ken 1 into an acquiescence in their doctrine." Thus speaks Bishop Wilso n i n a passag e deserving to b e read and pondered by every Protestant in the lancl; oversy on Ireland, too, is another battle-field for this cont of sound a small scale. It is not likely from the prevalence ition of full- Protestant truth, on the one hand, and the exh rn blown Popery on the other, that Tractarian t i i s i i attempts have tend greatly in the church in that country ; s.furnished been made to introduce it. Your own ink,t' a nieci a corres proof of this on a late occasion, when it c( 0 . , erry.

The note of war was instantly heard in the little northern Tractarian camp. Whatever artillery they may havehad in reserve, one solitary gun was was brought to bear on this Protestant address. In all that other wor d s , a long lett er was Published in reply to Mr. rhis letter, like all the school, is distinguished for Scott.
