We find it impossible to give more than a very brief abstract of the interesting—we may say important—mat t-rs connected in this gentleman's communication, it con sisting of a further improvement of the principle of his former discovery of electrotype, with its practical applica tion to purposes of art, together with an account of some most curious experiments in illustration of the principle he has now so. successfully applied, and showing the ex traordinary power of electrical transference. Mr. Spencer commenced by stating that the gem of the principle he was now about to lay before the society—as applied to voltaic electricity be had already laid before this body at their first meeting, and many months before, the paper containing the details of his discovery of elec trotype, notice of it having been given as early as the close of 1838. Although the experiment he alluded to was pub lished at the time, and subsequently in a work of his own, it had attracted no attention, except perhaps as possessing an abstract philosophical interest. It was, however, susceptible of most, important results. Before proceeding further with this branch of the subject, he took brief notice of the present state of the process of applying voltaic electricity to the metallurgic arts since his discovery of its applicability. He also referred to the dates of his former communications to the society, to show that the principle and form of his. apparatus at present employed was precisely the same that he had first brought under public notice at several meetings of that society !n 1839. Two forms of apparatus were exhibited, being those referred to as already shown to the members. He then took notice of several patents that have been obtained for applications of his principles to several brandies of art; and although it might appear, in consequence, that much improvement had taken plice, yet his patents were n errly for applications of the invention to any branch of business the party might be engaged in, without laying claim to anything more—many specifications being literally copied as respects the progress, from the pamphlet of Mr. Spencer. which. was published by fhe society in 1839. Se veral voltaic combinations were then referred to as having a connexion with the deposition of metals—one of which was exhibited in action, it being an invention of his own, and consisting of a lead surface, made rough by mechanical means, in order to obtain a numerous series of points. It is afterwards made to receive two separate coatings of platinum. The first as solid platinum ; the second being the same metal in the state of powder—each of which pro cesses are effected by electrical agency. The experiment alluded to at the beginning of the paper was now brought under notice. It consisted of a piece of unconnected copper placed in a wall of moist clay, which, as a division separates two fluids from each other, the poles of a galvanic fluid being led into each of them. After the galvanic current thus generated had ben kept in action for a number of weeks. it was found that the piece of cop per had lost con.iderably at one end, while it had gained an equal amount at the other—yet it had no direct com munication with the battery, being merely placed in the line or wake of the current. It was then shown that in duced electricity might be made to play an important part in the transference of native metals in mineral veins, although the primary current might be generated at any imaginable distance. TH.: principle he had now applied to the manufacture of all kinds of metallic plates, or other surfaces, but more especially those required for photo- graphy—a number of splendid specimens of which were exhibiting, most exquisitely polished, yet jus: in the state they are in when removed from the galvanic trough they _ . ing the result of the galvanic process without th. applica tion of labour of any sort. It was stated that plates of this description were far better fitted—frlm their chemical purity and equal texture of metal—for photographic pur poses, than those constructed by mechanical methods. A galvanic apparatus, with a plate in the act of form ing. was shewn—the apparatus for the construction of one. fifty, or five hundred, being of equal simplicity. We shall endeavour to render this as clear as possible without the aid of a drawing. In all galvanic arrangements hitherto described, it is necessary to have all the metals each - other, which is effected by soldering wires, or fasten ing slips of metal to them by screws, they must be so done to etery plate or surface present, whether positive or ne gative—furtherniore, both sides of the plates are alike acted on. To prevent this latter action various expedients have been resorted to; as for nearly all electrotype ar rangements, this is an evil to be avoided, if possible. Varnishes are used for the purpose of protecting those parts that are not required to be acted on. In most cases, however, they are ineff,ctual, as the fluids the plates are immersed in, frequently dissolve them. It is this com plicated system of wires and screws that present such a formidable appearance to the uninitiated, as it a l so gives rise to many failures in practice. By the principle Mr. Spencer now brings into action, nearly the whole of these complicated arrangements are avoided, and not only so, but the metallic deposit is of a far superior texture and equality of thickness throughout, together with much of time_ Inhnnr_ snit pytnpnce_ thpro hpincr nn 14):: le waste of material from_ the very nature of the p r i nc iple employed. In this arrangement Mr. Spencer, for the first time, calls into practical operation the hitherto abstrac principle of electrical induction. To gives com parative idea of his method, suppose we are required to form a copper plate by the (now common) electrotype process. wr.. should require a pair of plates, contained in a vessel, forming our battery. The plate we intend to use as a mould must be fastened to the zinc plate by a wire, and then placed in another vessel containing the solution of the meiai we are desirous of depositing. Anothe plate of metal, in like manner, has now to he fastened to the other plate of the battery, and also placed in the vessel containing the metallic salt in solution. Thus to produce one plate is required a pairof battery plates, in one vessel, while another pair must he in an adjoining vessel, to gether with four soldered joints or bending screws, and the back of the plateshave to be burnished, and for every plate required he required an equal amount of apparatus. By the method now proposed, however,. the arrange. ment just described will do for any number of such plates, no further quantity of wires, solderings, vessels, or solutions being needful. The trough to be of course longer will admit the greater number. The plates to be deposited on are hereby made to stand on end in the fluid, seriatim, each having a piece of the metal required to be deposited leaning against it, should there he fifty such they will be alike acted on. That action which is techni cally termed polar, or rasher polariseation takes place— that is one side of each interposed plate becomes positive, while the other is negative, and the metal from the posi. tive side is transferred to the negative side of the next, and so on, through any number. It was shown this prin ciple of action was susceptible of many curious modifi cations; among others, that it was capable of keening a circular body revolving in a fluid for any h ngth of time, the action of which might be registered like a clock. It was shown also that a number of such might be kept in motion, while inductive actions capable of retarding or accelerating might be obtained at pleasure. In con nection with this subject one most remarkable experi ment was described, which we regret we cannot give in full, as the results were most extraordinary. During six months it was kept in constant action, and the results noted at intervals. A narrow but long plate glass trough was divided into four cells, by three porous earthenware divisions, each of which were 24 inches apart, and had a small aperture capable of admitting a half sovereign. The poles of a powerful voltaic pair were placed at each end of the trough, the positive pole being silver, the negative platinum. In the first aperture, and next to the silver pole, a piece of gold was inserted ; into:the next a piece of silver, and in like manner into the third, was in serted a piece of zinc. The whole trough being filled up with a solution of cyanuret of potassium, and made air tight to prevent evaporation, voltaic action was allowed to go on. The first action that took place was the forma tion of a cyanuret of silver and potassium in cell 1, while in cell 2 was formed a cyanuret of gold and potas sium ; in cells 3 and 4, sitnilar salts of silver and zinc were found. The action being now suffered to proceed for a few weeks longer and then examined, it was found that the gold had taken up its position in the next aper ture that had been previously occupied by the silver, while the silver had in like manner replaced the zinc, which last metal was found deposited on the negative pole, the aperture formerly occupied by the gold being now occupied by a disc of silver. We have not room to describe all the changes that took place during the opera tion of this interesting experiment, however the disk of gold passed through the whole of the apertures in the solid state, while it was replaced in each aperture it had left by a piece of silver. These and the other experi ments were explained by diagrams and apparatus. Mr. Spencer next proceeded to explain how by the electro type process we have it in our power to diminish any work of art in metal. This was shown by the fact, that copper may be deposited either brittle or otherwise, at the plea mire of the operator. The brittle copper may then be annealed. and rendered as tough as rolled copper ; but the process of annealing always diminished the bulk, while it increased the specific gravity of the metal. Mr. Spencer illustrated this fact by taking a piece of brittle copper, which very readily crumbled under his fingers, and then by holding it in the flame of a spirit lamp for a very short time, it was shown to have acquired so much toughness as to be capable of being bent to a right angle repeatedly, without breaking. A brittle mould being obtained of the object required to be diminished, was to be annealed, and a brittle cast afterwards being taken by it, which in like manner was to undergo diminution by the same pro. proceeding in this mai was obtained Several members put questions to -Mr. Spencer, which he replied in a manner that illustrated sa )ct he had so ably brought before the 'meth) In the course of this paper allusion was math port lately laid - before the Royal French Aca Sciences, Paris, on the whole stihj-et of the applicat netorii) THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. went, by which we are able to produce it at will, and energies that seem to have no other limits than the lin wishes. Oersted, in demonstrating the connection that exists between electricity and terrestrial magnetism, has given to science the means of measuring this new force by the aid of the compass needle. Spencer, at last, by the discovery of the wonderful plastic , ty of metals reduced by the electric current, has opened to our •iews the means by which this pure science has at length been able to pene trate into the domains of industry, and by this advance he has been enabled to effect a complete revolution in the whole art of metallurgy, and which will, in all probability effect a change as complete in our mineral chemistry." In the section of this voluminous report, whicn is en titled the Period of Spencer, the history and dates of his various researches in this branch of science, are given, and the honour of being the discoverer unhesitatingly awarded him, while passages are translated from his papers. " We translate the actual text of some of Mr. Spen cer's memoirs—says the report—in order to show with what minuteness and fidelity he records every part which occurs during his experiments, whether their importance may be apparent or otherwise." BUDE LIGHT, GEORGE'S Docx.—A large and very powerful bode light has been placed at the north-east end of George's Dock, close by the gates. It has been lighted during the two last evenings, and completely su persedes all the lights in that neighbourhood. RUNCORN.—A correspondent of the Mercury states, that on Sunday week, at Runcorn, a number of young men, in a state of intoxication, embarked at the ferry, in a small boat, which', soon after they pushed off, was upset in a squall, when four of the number were drowned. Two others were with difficulty restored. INQUEST.—An inquest was held before the borough coroner, on Saturday, on view of the . body of Elizabeth Page, who died suddenly in liitson's-terrace, leading out of Seel-street. In the opinion of Mr. James Garthside, surgeon, who made a post modem examination, death had been caused by hemorrhage, and a verdict to this effect was returned. NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND.—On Friday, a lad named William Finn, was fined 304. and costs, and in default of payment ordered to be imprisoned fourteen days, for cutting open the linings of a gentleman's coach, in the Saracen's Head Inn Yard, and stealing the curled hair. PUBLICANS FIN ED.—On Friday, two publicans and four beer-sellers were charged, at the police-court, with varion , infringements of the law. One of the publicans was acquitted : the other, John Jones, Fairhurst -street, (2d conviction,) was fined 80s. and costs. Beer-sellers fined :—Thomas Bucks, Vauxhall-road, (2d conviction,) 80s.; Robert Wyne, Naylor-street, 40s. INctuesT.—On Wednesday, an inquest was held before Mr. Curry on view of the body of Harriet Southurst, re siding in Baptist-street. The deceased had complained for two or three days of headache, nausea, and sickness, and sent to a druggist's shop, in Byrom-street, for a mix ture, which she took, and on Saturday evening began to rave, and was much worse. She died on Monday. Ver dict—" died from fever." A MAN STABBED BY A BEGGAR.—On Tuesday a beg gar, named James Morrison, and who, it was apparent, was either permanently insane or subject to temporary fits of excitemrnt, was placed at the bar of the Police Court, charged with having stabbed Thomas Christopher. It appeared, that. on the preceding evening, the prisoner, who had a child in his arms, begged alms from Christo oiler and other men, and was insulted and told to go to the Night Asylum. He went away, but returned again, and said he would give the b—s some cold steel for their suppers, upon which Christopher struck him on the nose, and. in return, the prisoner stabbed him. on the thigh, and was found by the police-officer brandishing a large open clan) knife in his hand, and threatening to stab any one that came near him. Mr. Rushton ordered that all the evidence should be taken cl_ wn in writing. ROYAL LIVER THEATRE.—This popular and pretty little theatre, ti , e opening of which we briefly noticed in our last, continues to draw most respectable, an.l even crowded audiei ces. Mr. Raymond has provided himself with a very fair stock company ; and has this week, in addition, the aid of an old favorite of the Liverp oo l pub lic, Mr. Browne, with the inimitable Mr. Mackay, whois almost identified with one of the best of Sir Walter Scott's characters, viz.,—Bailie Nicol Jarvey. Mr. F. Vining, too, the stage manager, is a decided acquisition to the Liver company ; as is Mr. Henry Bedford, a nephew of Paul Bedford, who promises to take a high rank in the particular line of characters which he has chosen. Mrs. Raymond is as usual, lively, and a deserved tavorite with the audience. The performances last night were, " The Wonder, or Woman Keeps a Secret,"—" Is he Jealous ?" —and " Robert Macaire," which are to be repeated this evening. In the latter piece, Browne, as Robert Mocaire, drew down the frequent applause of a numerous audience. We must not omit noticing the very pretty dancing of Miss Massall, a young lady, who, we believe, is a stranger upon the Liverpool boards. We may add that the regu lations required by the Act of Parliament, under which the house is opened, are strictly enforced, and all impro per characters excluded, from which, we doubt not, the managerial exchequer may suffer for awhile, but, we trust, not longer than is required f 4 . the playghing public to be It will be seen from the advertisement that wne has announced his benefit for Friday, when no doubt the house will be crowded iu every part. SALVAGE CASE OF A LIVERPOOL VESSEL.—DISAS. TERS AT SltA.—On Wednesday last, Sir Anthony Perrier and Capt. White held a court in the Custom-house, Cork, as justices of the peace, for the porPose of determining whether the crew of the Rose pilot-boat were entitled to salvage for services rendered to the Kathleen, of Liver pool, on the morning of the 27th September. Mr. John Bennett appeared for the salvagers; Mr. Walsh, counsel, and Mr. Wm. Deane, as agent, appearing for the owner of the Kathleen, Mr. Gardiner, of Liverpool. The claims of the salvagers, seven pilots of Cove. were then read, setting forth the services performed by them to the Kath leen, and for which they claimed a sum of £175, or -, '25 each. The vessel was bound from Sierra Leone to Li verpool, with a valuable .cargo of palm oil, ivory, d3e woods, &c., amounting in value to £5,790. Witnesses were called to sustain the claims. It appeared that the vessel had suffered a series of disasters on her homeward voyage, and was much disabled. The master and mate died, and a Portuguese who afterwards navigated her jumped overboard, carrying with him the only timepiece on board—his watch. On passing the Western Isles the Kathleen encountered a squall, which carried away her foretopiail and foretopgallantsail. Added to these mis fortunes, the provisions were bad. She was in this way for three weeks. On nearing the Irish coast, it was sta ted, the union-jack was hoisted " versed," as a signal of distress. She made her way, and on the 27th ult. got off the Old Head of Kinsale. About this time the pilot-boat saw her, afterwards reached her, supplied her with provi sions, boarded her, and assisted to work her, and to bring her into Cork harbour. It appeared, however, that the master, Donovan, made some objection to the crew of the Rose assisting, on the ground of claim for salvage; but Cavanagh, of the Rose, got over that by saying that the charge for working the vessel should be settled by any two gentlemen in Cove. Mr. Walsh contended, on this and other grounds, that the case ought to be dismissed. The master of the Kathleen also gave evidence to show that the signal of distress was made inadvertently, and that, with the mere assistance of a pilot, he could have brought the vessel safely into port, as his men were no less capable of working her than they had been a month before. Sir Anthony Perrier said there was no doubt the men of the Rose had rendered services to the Kathleen, but certainly not to the extraordinary amount they had claimed. Finally it was agreed that £2l should be paid as salvage, or £3 to each of the pilots. The court then broke up. THE BAZAAR IN BEHALF OF ST. SILAS'S CHURCH, AT THE MUSIC•HALL.—The bazaar, the funds arising from which are to be appropriated towards the liquidation of the debt on this neat and commodious place of woe_ ship, commenced, according to announcement, on Tues day, and was continued during the two following days ; and also (in consequence of some unfavourable weather) on the afternoon of Friday, for the sale of the remaining articles. The room was very handsomely decorated for the occasion, and presented throughout a very pleasing and animated appearance. At one end were suspended three handsome banners—the Liverpool and the royal coat-of-arms, and an emblematical flag representing little children receiving instruction. These were appended from the roof, and concealed the platform usually appro priated for speakers. The gallery at the other end was also screened off in a similar way, so that the whole of the space on which the fair was held was, properly, on one level. The sides were decorated in a corresponding manner with flags bearing devices, and the divisions of the stalls, ranged along them, were covered with pink and white cloth, and ornamented, over the front, with ever greens, flowers, small flags, &c., so that each formed an arbour or alcove, in which the fair venders were seen to much advantage, yet appeared, in their anxiety to pro mote the laudable object in view, to be quite unconscious of their attractions. The exhibition consisted of a great and elegant variety of ornamental and some useful articles in embroidery and rug work, pencil and coloured draw ings, desks and work boxes, papier rnashe' ornaments, audience and all the etceteras usual on such occ.isinns. Many of the pieces of needlework were extremely beautiful, and the general assortment was highly creditable to the taste, talent, and good feeling of our fair townswomen, and others who contributed. There was also a splendid stand for confectionary, ices, &c. at one end. On Tuesday the company was select and fashionable, and so crowded to again visit the scene. On the two following days the roOni, notwithstanding the showers,was also well at tended. The greatest satisfaction was expressed throughout, to the vet butt revirinn- —r t at... ht rnd obtained werebut : nlo;i:;;te, but by no I - y low." The greatest credit, indeed, is at the stalls ;chit means " ruinou doe to the ladie was beyond all DR. COLLYER'S LECTURES ON MESMERISM Last Tuesday evening, at the Royal Assembly Rooms, Great George-street, Dr. Collyer introduced the tnu,li agitated subject by some pet tisent and striking remarks. to a select though not numerous audience. We cannot give any lengthened account of the various details of the novel science included in his general survey, but shall content ourselves with noticing some of the more promi nent features of his eloquent and impressive discourse. After a review of the general character of the so-called Me-meric phenomena, Dr. C. proceeded to allude to that modification of the process of manipulation introduced by Mr. Braid, wherein by an exhaustion of the sense of vision, nerve sleep can be produced, followed by the cata leptic stage, somnambulism, Sze. Dr. C. asserted that the facts of this neurohypnological condition furnished the strongest arguments for the proposition maintained by Dr. C., viz., that these phenomena are the result of the transference of the will of the operator. Dr. C. lays great stress upon this will operation, and is opposed to the idea that it is a physiological state merely, i e. a state of the body superinduced by or,anic and material causes : in other and simple words, Dr. C. believes these pheno mena to depend upon the operation of mind upon mind, or upon mind and matters conjoined. Mr. B. 's idea is that they are caused by the agency of matter upon mat ter. One may be said to be a metaphysical, the other a physical doctrine. This sublimation of the subject by Dr. C. by resolving the effects into will-agency, stands opposed as much to the original proposition of Mesmer and Du Potet, as to that of Braid and the disciples of his school. The former, accounted the auent, that of an as sumed imponderable matter—magnetism, the latter a conditional function of the nervous system, a natural state of the animal body independent of will, or the super natural. We have tried to convey to our readers per ception of the difference between the three dogmas, under which the students of this extraordinary re-discovered science range themselves, if we rightly apprehend the lecturer and his views. If our analysis proves mistaken, it will be a pity that a subject so complex cannot be at least approached under some such simplified ideas as we have endeavoured to embody herein, as the scope of the various explanations of the magnetic nerve-sleep, (neuro hypnological), and will-transferred—(piychographical) schools. Dr. C. alluded to the verdict of the French eomsnission of inquiry, appointed in 1785, and to Dr. Franklin's re porting of the want of analogy with electricity and terres trial magnetism. He remarked that the class of pheno mena were dependant on the persons themselves. Dr. C., in referring to the manifestations of the cere bral organs during the mesmeric sleep, or phreno-mes merism, stated that he was the first in America to turn at tention to the facts. First he looked upon it as amuse ment, then traced its important relations, and he con cludes that where there is no knowledge of phrenology in the patient, there is no respondence to the manipulaions (pericranial). The Zoist, a new magazine, em racing these subjects, asserts Dr. C.'s priority of discovery of p . hreno-mesmerism. He touched upon the medical fact of revived memory in fever cases, which corre sponds to the extraordinary memory of the mesmerised, which appears as photographically inscribed. Dr. C. avers that the will of the operat,.r is the sole law of the patient when the sleep is complete. Dr. C. appears to entertain his convictions on this re vived science with an enthusiasm which carries others away with him, and still further with an honesty which does credit to the cause as advocated by an ingenuous mind; corresponding with which we find (an invariable counterpart,) that he gives credit to others who may dif fer from him for maintaining their various opinions with a tone alike truth-seeking and honest. He thinks it neces sary to success, for the subject (patient) to be mentally, morally. and physically calm, or there will be no conges tion of brain; therefore he refused to operate on any of the audience. In Exp. 1, be fixed tke feet of the young woman vrhern he had only seen for two days past, viz. since his arrival in Liverpool from America. This wasa mental condition he said, and not a corporeal one, as the general impression would be. _ _ Exp. 2. 11, fixed the jaw—mouth open—remarking further upon t;•‘: will of the operator as sole law for un conscious subject.

To prove that mental hallucination could hi' induced by operator, be took the young woman—only semi-mesmerised, and, placing a jug in her hands which previously she had recognised to be a jug ; by a few gasses of his hand, she began to stroke it us a pet cat, , • which she declared was such ; and, on her being de mesmerised, her own surprise at her mistake was pictured by a look and expression of shame before the audience which could not be feigned. Again her mind was taken in tow, and she saw a large fish at her side, from which she en deavoured to escape, with every gesture of horror, until rectified as before. Exp. 4. A young man and the young woman (both per fect strangers to Dr. C., except during one or two re hearsals) were placed in the cataleptic condition, or rigid spasm of the inuselcs of the arms and limbs. Dr. C. stated that he knew of two operations having been performed in America during mesmeric condition, viz., extirpation of cancer from the foot, and adjustment of a coil:pound-fractured fore-arm. In the latter, por t Lions of bone were removed, in order to' set the limb,' — Ids the patient was a very pain' insensible. operation—an Exp. 5.

Dr. C. does not 'appear to be one crediting the transla tion of senses named by the French clairvoyance. He explains it as, where manifested, to consist in a mental transfer from operator to patient, and not a transfer of one sense to another. LECTURE II -FRIDAY Dr. Collyer commenced this evening his analysis of mesmerism by remarking that the conditions most im. pressionable were found in those temperaments which are called sanguine and nervous, and their combination the nervo-sanguine. He described the vital powers as elec tricity vitalised' by assimilation in the lungs—a term we conceive to be ambiguously expressing lifein other terms. Dr. C. mentioned Beclard as authorizing by his fame in medical science the notion of an imponderable fluid in the nerves. infancy requires to learn the habitual control of them selves by the will, and to economise the superfluous will. Seveial interesting remarks on this subject were intro duced, which we cannot detail. The facts of the electrical lady reported in Professor Silliman's journal, and that of a niece of the American Charge d'Affaires, who was magnetised by electrical ma. chine, were interesting to a general audience. Fakers mesmerised by means of narcotic fumes. Shakrng Quaker's ecstacy and consequent exhaustion tninifested by lying down collapsed and faint. An in stance of mesmerism produced through a giddy and exci ting dance, which developer a cataleptic trance sometimes for two or three days. _ Three modes of producing mesmeric condition :- I.—Narcotising. 2.—Muscular exertion. 3.—Transfer of will. Fevers charmed by mesmerism. Like La Fontaine, he holds that if the operator is fatigued, little or no effect is produced. After excitement in battle mesmeric col lapse, likewise in drunkenness wounds not felt, because nervous force is taken away by mental excitement. _ Suttee—Hindoo widow, when burnt on the funeral pile of her husband, does not feel, because excited—explains Sccevola's case of arm thrust into the fire under stimulus of mind. Some explanations followed, wherein cayenne pepper and aloes were mistaken for sweet things by pa tients. Allusion to excitement in a crowd being conta gious. One patient conscious, and not having the mes meric sleep developed, could no. see his foot at all, be cause it was cut off as it were by a few passes of Dr. C's hand. LECTURE 111 Last evening, at the Music-hall, Bold-street, there was a much larger audience. The subject of Love, Sympathy, and Antipathy, was handled by the lecturer; and many moral propositions dogmatically asserted, which we can not report for want of space, followed by experiments similar to previous ones, but on fresh and untried subjects. W. left the doctor about to organise a committee of medical and other gentlemen to investigate his subject. Viscount Sandon has presented. throngh the Dean/of the Faculty, the liberal donation of £25 towards the building fund of the Queen's College. ANDERSON THE CONVICT.—The paragraph in our paper of Friday sennight, respecting Anderson offering one of his keepers £4OO was wrong. The person to whom he offered the bribe has just c;lled onus, and states that Anderson's first offer was £6OO to the contractor and £lOO to the keeper, £7OO in all.

Bernard NiTartil ?OOL EDINBURGH, LEITH, AND NEWHAVEN RAILWAY The few remarks witieli we madelast week, in reference to this undertaking at d the proposed BraLch hoes to Leith and Granton Pier, have drawn upon us the follow ing effusi .n of fpleeti, and something else, from our cotemporarv, the Railway Times. "But for certain influences which, in this matter, we have reason to believe hold sway_ over the Liverpool Standard, we should be at a loss to account for the in sertion in that respectable journal of repeated puffs of the (so-called) " Edinborgh, Leith, and Newhaven Railway" —one of the hollowest bubbles ever blown. To-day we give a specimen of the Standard's statements—or rather, we should my, tne statements of a person in Liverpool, who is perhaps " better known than trusted," in connec- Lion with this project. We.should ill deserve the confi deuce reposed in us, if we did not once more caution the unwary as the barefaced puffery of this concern, which is thrust before the public in the Liverpool papers. Will the manai..ers venture to give a full and fair statement of what has occurred at any meeting, legally constituted, within the last three years ? '1 hey dare not ! " The whole concern, from first to last, has been carried most suspiciously; and if the Directors wish it, we shall be happy to prove what we thus assert." In the first place we have a few words to say in reply to that portion of our cotemporary's remaks which contain an imputation upon ourselves. We are said to have been induced to speak favourably of this undertaking on ac count of " certain influeoces " which " hold sway over the Liverpool Standard; " and this by the way, is not the first occasion on which our contemporary has used similar language towards us. Coming from such a quar ter, the charge is, broadly stated, that we have been bribed. In our own town, we flatter ourselves such an imputation would sc trcely need a simple denial. It is not, as our fellow citizens know, an easy task to " hold sway over " the Liverpool Standard ; and, we believe we may say that an attempt to bribe would provoke, from most of our local contemporary's, a sornewhat.hasty and plain form of rebuke, if it did not even draw personal_ castigation upon the unlucky briber. Before the world at large however, who know us less, we must take the earliest opportunity of indignantly repudiating the calumnious insinuation endeavoured to be taster ed upon us. It is fats. and malignant in intention; and is, moreover, as silly as its venal utterer is contemplib.e. A question or two, in return, we will take the liberty:of putting to our contemporary. There are " influence.," then, employed to " hole sway over" journalists who comment upon railway undertakings! A man, for in stance, who, week after week, for years past, has ern oloyee his hireling pen in misrepresenting- the position. of any particular line—say the Eastern Counties—and in slan dering its directors and supporters, may be BOUGHT OVER to become their apologist and puffing advocate. . The ad mission is an important one; and whilst it es' ahlishes the value of the laudatory effusions of writers thus venal, furnishes at the same time a clue to the source of their occasional bitterness and malignity. In the present in stance the quid dam peculium has perhaps not been fur nished! and the Editor has, in addition, a grudge of old standing against the respected agent of the undertaking. And now with respect to the merits of the line in question—the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven Railway —which this disinterested, and perhaps disappointed, scribe describes as "one cf the hollowest bubbles ever blown." After the explanation which he has afforded us of the " influences * which " hold sway over " writers, the public will perhaps be inclined to think that the opinion of a meeting of the Town Council of the port of Leith, signed by their provost, and the statements of facts to he found in the abridged prospectus of the com pany, both of which docurnents will be found in our weight thin the public opinion= and malignant scurrility of the Editor of the Railway Times. CORRESPONDENCE TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD Sift,—On visiting the Exhibition I was much surprised and disappointed not to find any of the works of the eminent portrait painter, Mr. 7'. C.

NEILSON THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF NON INTRUSION PRINCIPLES, BY DR. CHAL MERS & HIS COLLEAGUES, CONSIDERED. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MONTROSE STANDARD SIR,—A month has not elapsed since this reverend divine, in addressing a meeting held at Blairgowrie, de clared that he considered the Established Church of Scotland to be -"a great moral nuisance, that ought to be swept from the face of the land;" and, when since queStioned as to the truth of his having made such a statement, at a recent meeting at Montrose, he acknow leged the fact, and attempted to justify it, by saying that, sentiments in the General Assembly, of which be was then a member! Yet, strange to WI, Dr. Chalmers had been a minister of that church, and eating her bread, for build churches, and in that assembly contending for the wisdom and propriety of vesting those churches in the assembly, and of permitting the patronage to be held by the builders, when required by them.. It is not above three or four months since another of his most prominent colleagues, Dr. Candlish, expressed similar sentiments before a meeting held at Leith, adding to them the assurance of his unceasing enmity to the Established Church • yet these persons hold them s elv e s up as pious, evanueical preachers, lovers of pence, pro- fessing to be the leaders of the Christian people, and at e same time abouring to instil into tbeni sOch.vindic- horrifying principles, A remonstrancee7rom this body, addressed to the landed proprietors of Scotland. has, as you are aware, lately made its appearance, signed by Dr. Chalmers and his colleague Dr. Gordon, of which the professed object is to influence that resneetahle bode to erant sites of land nn , which their followers might erect places of worship for the propagation of such doctrines, and at the same time, in order to throw dust in their eyes, avowing in this re monstrance, " Their desire to lire at peace with all men, and that they cordially wish for the welfare of all who love the Saviour in sincerity." Are we, then, to con strue their anathemas into a disbelief in the sincerity of those who are members of the Established Church, with whom, it now appears, they have lone had the unmerited honour of being embodied? Do they mean to deny that the faith and doctrine of the Established Church are in all respects unchanged, and the same as when these men were their zealous advocates? Then, if so, why do they not come forward, in place of showing the cloven foot, and openly avow such sentiments, if they entertain them ? It is but too evident that the republic spirit, and their thirst after power and popularity, under which the serpent lurks, are the acting passions that have led them to make such sacrifices of character and the principle of consis tency so dear to all honest men ; or why should Dr. Chalmers, after being the prominent supporter of patron. age, and the determined foe of voluntaryism, turn round and contend for placing unlimited power in the hands of the people, urging the extinction of the first, and practi cally the support of the last, unless we are to conclude his object is, to induce them to hold him up as their idol, and feed his love of popularity at any price, whilst he now rejects the conditions of the act of Parliament, which originated itytowcitathhuetsoeLc isoho r bu d ajrsec A sci iltg b cn e te r ol d di re,atelsbni but loti t ef h eero a onn t rrs fiei g dr i t m v h e ep s trhiel f eso u iep l rn l ertp.eeojel rejection, dc . , e to r iationbn t d o t, congregationsia t sufficient o r f not, through their expected influence over the people, thus to place, the real power in their own hands I I would hope the time is not far distant when the eves of their deluded followers will be opened; and when Lord Aber- va mutes, mat, ne will At lean hesitate before he assigns to their authors another site for a place of worship on his estates, thus countenancing the conduct of those who condemn and (moose his measures.

The result of the settlement of our differences with the Celestial Empire has given unqualified sails whole trading world, and will, we entertain not a doubt on to the contribute vastly to enlarge, and render profitable, our commerce with that country. We have given elsewhere, for the information of the sfiipping trade, the most impor tant of these regulations, and the schedule of the duties in the new tariff. To enable our readers, however, better to form a judgment a, to the impel tant benefits conferred by them upon our commerce with China, we give here a brief comparison of the old regulations and duties with those in future to be in operation. The reduction in the charges levied upon shipping, and also the removal of the absurd and harassing regulations to which vessels in the Chinese waters were formerly sub jected, will be sensibly felt. Prior to the passing of these new regulations, several most oppressive exacti , ns were in existence. By one exaction, termed " the present," a sum of 2,300 dollars was levied upon all descriptions of craft, great and small ; whilst the entire duties upon a ship of 500 or 600 tons were little short of £lOOO sterling. The whole of these are now abolished, and a duty of 3s. 6d. per ton substituted for them ; and thus the total charges upon a ship of 600 tons will he only £lO5 sterling; or one-tenth of the charges under the old system, those upon smaller vessels sustaining, of course, a reduction in a still greater increased ratio. The change in the duties to be levied upon manufac tured goods is exhibited in the foil wing statement : Colton Yarn.—The dutty on cotton yarn, formerly about two dollars per pecul of 133i1b., is now reduced to 1 doilar 40 cents, or about five-eights of a penny per lb. Coilcu Goods.—The duty on bleached shirtings, for merly about 92 cents, is now reduced to 21 cents, or a , billing per piece. The duty on unbleached shirtings (which were I" , olnerly arranged in two classes, chargeable • with a duty of 42 cents and 10 cents respectively, and subject to the caprice or corruption of the Mandarines or Custom-house officers, as to the class in which they should be placed) is now fixed for all qualities at 14 cents, or about Bd. per piece of 28 to 40 inches wide, and 30 to 40 yards in length. The duty 'on printed goods, formerly about 2 to 2- dollars per piece, is now fixed at 28 cents )er piece of 24 to 30 yards long, and 26 to 31 inches wide. Woollens:—The duty on woollens, such as Spinish stripes, habit cloth, and middle and superfine cloths, for inerly 25 cents per yard, is now reduced 'to 6 cents, or 3d. per yard.—The duty on long ells, formerly about 2 dollars 10 cents, is now reduced to 70 cents per piece. —The duty nn camlets and boinbazetts, formerly about 12 to 13 dol lars per piece, is now reduced to 70 cents. Raw Cotton.—The duty on raw cotton, which was about 9 mace per peen!, is now 4 mace, about per per lb. Unenurnera'ed Articles.—The duty on unenumerated articles of import is fixed at 5 per cent. ad valorem. At ihe present low value of cotton goods, the duty may be called about 74 per cent. on the value in this country. On grey shirtings, about 71 per cent. On white shirtings, about 10 per cent. On woollens (Spanish stripes, &c.), 6 to 8 per cent On long ells, about 10 per cent. On camlets, about 4 per cent. On printed cottons, about 10 per cent (on goods suited to the markets Export Duties.—The duty on the export c iominally fixed by the new tariff at two t mace per pecul, will, it is supposed, arum; I in the duty) to about or nearly 3d. per lb.

CAUTION TO FISIIWIVES.—On Tuesday last, Mrs_ Earle, who keeps a fish standing in St. John's Fish Market, was summoned for exposing for sale 60 pounds weight of unwholesome soles. Defendant declared stoutly that the soles were good, but Mr. Rushton credited the videnee of the market inspector, who had summoned a to the condition of the fish and orde Earle, on learning the jury to decide her to pay decision, said. " There is no justice in this town." - Mr. Rushton—" You will find that.there is prompt justice for you if you disturb this court." Mary Welsh was the next defendant, and she was charged with exposing 16 rsnamric oppioht of ctinirinn , .2.110 e Chn Irne costs. On hearing the decision, she protested they were good, and added, " I declare to my God they were fit for the Queen." Mr. Rushton—" Now, be quiet, you are always very impertinent when you come here." Both the defendants left the front of the court, swearing vengeance against the inspector, and one of them at last called out, " He's not fit to be an inspector of fish." Mr. Rushton ordered both of them to be brought back, and said, " Both of you, in spite of my remonstrance, have dis turbed the court, and you must each pay a fine of 10s., and if you do not pay it forthwith, you must be taken into custody." THE WEATHER.—For the last twelve or fourteen days (with the exception of the last thtee) the weather in this neighbourhood has been rather more unsettled, cold, and stormy, with heavy downfalls, than is usually experienced at this period of .the year—portending, indeed, the rapid advent of a rigorous winter. The wind has generally blown fresh from the north, and north-north-west, with a lowness of temperature exceedingly trying to weak con stitutionst particularly when so immediately succeeding a prolongation of what might be termed summer heat. We had, towards the close of last week, successive and heavy showers of rain intermixed with hail and sleet, and on Friday night, in the town and vicinity, an electric storm, in which the lightning was extremely vivid, followed by loud explosions of thunder. No accident has, however, come to our knowledge.
