RAILROADS versus STAGE-COACHES.—In the coffee-room at the Black Swan Tavern, in York, hangs an advertisement, of which the following is a copy, in a glazed frame, over the mantel-piece :—" York four days stage-coach. Begins on Friday, the 12th of April, 1706. All that are desirous to pass from London to York, or from York to London, or any other place on that road, let them repair to the Black Swan, in Holbourn, in London, and to the Black Swan, in Coney-street, York. At both which places they may be re ceived in a stage-coach every Monday, Wednesday, and Fri day, which performs the whole journey in four days,, (if God permits.) And .sets forth at five in the morning. And re turns from York to Stamford in two days, and from Stam ford, by Huntington, to London, in two days more—and the like stages on their return. Allowing each passenger 141bs. weight, and all above, 3d. a pound. Performed by Benjamin Kingman, Henry Harrison, Walter Baynes. Also, this gives notice, that the Newcastle stage-coach sets out from York every Monday and Friday, and from Newcastle every Monday and Friday." This journey is now performed, on the railroad between York and London, in ten hours. A MAD Ox.—On Monday evening, about six o'clock, a small ox of the Scotch breed, was being driven into the slaughter-house of a butcher, in Salisbury, when the animal became infuriated, and broke away from the butchers. He took his course through Market-place, where the first object of his attack was a little child, whom he tossed into the air ; the child fell into the channel, and by that means escaped without very serious injury. Pursuing his course up Win chester-street, he attacked a poor woman named Sanders, the wife of a shoemaker, who was endeavouring to remove one of herchildren from danger ; she was tossed three times, and the horn of the animal entered the side of the throat, inflicting, it is feared, mortal wounds. When the animal had nearly reached the London-road, at the top of the town, a malster belonging to Maton's brewery, attempted to arrest his progress with a rake, but the unfortunate man was speedily knocked down, and the calf of his leg was nearly torn off by the horn of the ox. Several other persons received minor in juries ; and the animal remained at large in the fields until Tuesday morning, when a party went in pursuit, and suc ceeded in shooting him at Ford Farm, about two miles from the city. --- - A REGULAR OUT-AND-OUT VAGABOND.—Last Thursday afternoon, as Mr. Mulby, of the Sawyer's Arms, was resting awhile on one of the stone seats behind the church, a middle aged man, apparently in great distress, came up to him, and after asking charity, commenced a most pitiable recital of his misery and want ; he had been a sailor " shipwrecked and drowned, and then sold for a slave." Nlr. Mulby was on the point of relieving him, when Mr. William Mecoid, block maker, came up to them quite out of breath with having run up the Vicarage-hill from the Quay as fast as he could. After ascertaining that Mr. Mulby had been some time in the church-yard, he asked him if he had seen a strange man pass him. Mr. Mulby replied that the only person he had seen was the poor beggar before them, who seemed to be sadly in want. Gaberlunzie upon this was preparing to bolt, and looked anxiously about, which way he bad best shape his course • but just as he was going to shoot a-head, Mr. Mecoid, who is an old sailor, threw his grappling irons over him, telling him that he must overhaul his cargo before be allowed him to take his departure. Mr. Mulby, as may well be supposed, was surprised at such a rencontre, and much more so, when, upqn the fellow being searched, a good linen shirt was taken from him, which the impudent impostor had been seen to take from a garden-hedge. As he cried loudly for quarters, Mr. Mecoid let the fellow go upon conditions that he took his rascally presence from the town instanter. The man stood not upon the order of his going, but set off down the yard into Church-street at railroad speed. But here the " tragedy" did not end ; for whilst Mr. Mecoid and Mr. Mulby were talking the affair over, up to them hastened two other men from the Quay, and also a female, all asking, as Mr. Mecoid had done, "if a strange man had just gone through the yard." Upon the adventure detailed above being related to them, it appeared that they were after him upon the same errand, as he had been robbing hedges, at the bottom of the Vicarage, with the greatest coolness, never supposing that he could be seen from the small window at the back of the houses on the Quay. Chace was immediately given, but as yet the fellow has not been apprehended. and probably he will not be in this quarter, as he would doubt less leave the town without delay. He is a stoutish-built man, apparently about fifty years of age, and had on a suit of shabby dark clothes. [Since the above was in type, we find that the man, whose name is Roberts, has been taken up, and committed for trial.]—Preston Chronicle. DARING BRIGANDS.—We understand, that, for three or four months past, two men, armed with guns, have been prowling about amongst the hills, on the borders of Lanca shire and Yorkshire, committing a number of robberies and outrages of the most audacious kind. They are believed to be two notorious poachers, named Briggs and Dickenson, from the neighbourhood of Bolton-by-Bowland, near Clithe roe. These men are snspeeted to have committed the rob beries and outrages near Bacup ; and more recently, they appear to have been carrying on their atrocious proceedings in the northern part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. It appears, from the Kendal Mercury of Saturday last, that on the preceding Thursday, as a man named Mr. Joseph Wig nall, butter buyer, was on his road to Hawes Market, about six or seven o'clock in the morning, he came in company, when crossing the Stake, a very solitary and mountainous district, with a man on foot, who went with him some dis tance, although Mr. Wignall was on horseback ; and when they came to a certain part of the road, a gun was fired at him from behind the wall, but fortunately the contents did not effect the murderous intention. The piece had been loaded with hail shot, about half-a-dozen of which had pene trated Mr. Wignall's head ani face, but without doing him much injury. He immediately put his animal to full speed, and left the villains to ruminate on what they no doubt con sider their bad fortune. There were carts not more than a quartet of a mile behind at the time, and some people were not very far before, whom Mr. Wignall soon overtook, and related to them what had happened. The circumstance soon became generally known in the neighbourhood, and several young men volunteered their services to go in search of the villains. It fell to the lot of one party, consisting of a con stable and another man, to track them towards Horton, near Settle, where, stepping into a farmhouse to make inquiry concerning them, they beheld the very persons of whom they were in quest, quietly drying their stockings, by the fire ; they instantly seized hold &them, when a scuffle took place ; and they all four rolled on the floor together, in which position o f o n l e l y o l f a t e h e e r a m t e e d n h ( t y h t e h c e o n t e s e t table)teeth o f h h a i d s h e i s o t h a a g n o d o i a s and c h o e o e e k d o r f ea t h d e villains succeeded in drawing a pistol, when the constable and his man, p at to flight, and totally worsted, retreated to Settle. Hitherto, we are sorry to say, these desperadoes have not been apprehended : but, as their names and per sons are known, they cannot long escape the pursuit which is _pow making after them in all directions. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, 1841 A passenger on board the British Queen, in her voyage out, gives what evidently appears to be a "landsman's" description of the great storm she en countered, and the perilous position in which, to his eyes, she seemed to be placed during its continuance. "The steam-power of the ship," he says, "crippled as she was, (having lost more than half her paddles) was totally inadequate to the size of her and the storm. We rolled helplessly in the mighty billows. Every sail was split into rags, and we were completely at the mercy of the waves. At length the violence of the storm and size of the waves rendered it unsafe to scud before the wind, and our only chance was to face it with half-paddle power. The consequence was, we were twice, each time for four or five hours, in the trough of the sea without steerage way, and as help less as a raft. Nothing. saved us but the prodigious strength and buoyancy of our noble ship, which only wants 150 more horses' power to make her uncon querable." From this description we can form a tolerable idea of a storm in the vast Atlantic, and the condition of one of our mammoth steamers when overtaken by its mighty force. We read the description with a painful suggestion on our mind, we own, as to the fate of the President. But whatever her lot may be, we think this lesson has been taught by recent experience—namely, that steamers of her vast bulk arp not the best adapted to Atlantic navigation. It was early ascertained that the power of the en- Dines in these enormous vessels was not equal to the obstacles to be overcome in circumstances of trial of an extreme kind; and it is further a question whether, in the present state of our mechanical knowledge, the defect is remediable without incurring danger in other respects. More powerful engines could, no doubt, be made; but not. we believe, without a proportionate increase in the weight of metal; and then there is th' risk arising from such a massive structure being stowed in the hold—a cargo in itself—and a cargo to which this disadvantage is annexed, that no part of it can be thrown overboard upon an emergency, without an abandonment of the great element itself from which the safety of the ship is to be looked for. An amplitude of power would seem to be the most important ingre dient in the machinery of the steamer under trying circumstances; and, in order to give this, we must either have machinery of greater efficiency, or vessels of less burden for distant and dangerous navigation. The performances of the Cunard packets confirm the theory, which may be considered an important one in connection with this invaluable science. In our last number there were inserted two papers to which we were only able at the moment to direct the attention of our readers in a few general terms : we allude to the memorial of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society concerning the sugar trade with Cuba and Brazil, and Mr. Gladstone's able letter on the Corn Duties. .We would now detain our readers for a brief space, chiefly with a view to show the very great importance of the considerations suggested in these documents. _ . If Mr. Gladstone's positions be well-founded, it must be observed that the bait held out to the work ing classes, of cheaper bread being the ultimate and abiding result of the solicited freedom in the corn trade, is altogether a deception. Some temporary fall of prices there certainly would be, just enough to do great injury to the farmer, and drive him out of his native market—just enough to give foreigners the ad vantage over him, and spoil him as the best customer of the shopkeeper and manufacturer. So much be nefit there might he attained ; but it would have but a very, very short duration. Gold must go abroad to pay for the foreigner's corn; our circulating medium in the precious metals is drained away; money be comes scarce ; and then—the poor man finds it as difficult as ever to pay for his loaf, and the bubble of the present hour immediately resolves itself into thin Mr. Gladstone puts this case in a manner so plain and practical that we desire to add nothing to his state ment. When our gold is exhausted, he asks, how is foreign corn to be paid for ? and what then becomes of our multitudes of manufacturers and artisans ? " With home production discouraged, limited, if not put down, by this temporary foreign supply, it could no longer be depended on as heretofore, whilst, exposed to this risk of competition, which, from the position of our home-growers, they could not, while it lasted, maintain. Their consumption of goods, too, would be lost to the manufacturer ; and, with such adverse and conflicting results, might not the public revenue be expected to suffer, and alarm to rise ? Who then would be found to stern the torrent when the flood was once broke loose ?" The answer of the free traders on this head consists in a denial of the position that gold would be thus drawn out of the country. No, say they, that would not be the result; but foreigners being permitted a free access to our market with their grain and flour, would then take our manufactures in exchan ge ; and thus, whilst we should have a greater abundance of bread from abroad, our trade and commerce would be ex tended. This answer is indisputably plausible, and would be of immens e value indeed, if w e could depend mereupon theory, and, ing , well-founded. But at present it i s a instead of being suppo r t e d b y f acts and experience, is strikingly contradicted by them. Mr. Gladstone refers to the unfavourable seasons of 1837, 1838, 1839, and our importations during those years. Our supplies were drawn from Germany, Rus sia, Prussia, and other c ountries borderin g o n the Baltic; and he asks this material question—" did they take payment in our manufactures during those years ? Or, on the contrary, is it not well known that they did TO CORRESPONDENTS consequence of a great pressure of advertisements at a late hour, and many local matters which would not brook delay, we are compelled to postpone our remarks on the Book of Registry for British Shipping until Tuesday.

We could find none of that morose and narrow-minded bigotry in their ad dresses which tractarian churchmen seem to consider a necessary part of good churchmanship ; no—they put their plea for the church on the broad ground of the church's usefulness, and argued the necessity of giving bish4s to our colonies and dependencies as a natural consequence of a sincere attachment to, and belief in the advantages of, our church in its entirety— in its complete apostolical order and discipline; and in their addresses there was the enlarged spirit of men who kV the diffusion of CHRISTIANITY in view as their first object.

We are in some hope that the career of Melbourt The present has been to them a week of serious disaster. They were beaten on the principle of their Irish Registration Bill, in the Commons on Monday night, by a majority o twenty-one, in a house of five hundred and sixty mem bers ; and Nottingham, radical no longer, has returned the Conservative candidate by the large majority of two hundred and seventy-nine. Thus, in the course of the last five months, Ministers have lost five votes, ani the Conservatives have gained five, making a difference of ten on a division. The lost seats are Carlow, Can terbury, Walsall, Monmouthshire, and now, Notting hatn. The tide has fairly turned against them; but the overthrow of Monday night is, we apprehend, irre deemable. It has been alleged by a Ministerial organ that this victory was not a purely Conservative one ; that the motion was Lord Howick's, and gained by the aid of his partisans. Lord Howick's tail, however, happens to be a small one, and cannot, with the most liberal disposition to allow, be ascatained by any means to exceed eight votes, including his own ; so that without his lordship's aid at all, the Conservatives would have been in a clear majority of thirteen. But again, as to the question on which the house divided being one of his lordship's proposing, that is a point of little consequence. It raised the only question which the Conservatives cared about, viz., the question of property, or beneficial interest, as distinguished from qualification by mere rating ; and this is the principle for which they contended, and have contended all through. His lordship is quite welcome to the honour of having so far aided his friends in place; the Con servatives will freely grant it to him, well pleased at having gained an important victory by the opportunity he afforded them. But being thus shamefully beaten, it might be ex pected, if we had any other other than a bed-chamber ministry to deal with, that Ministers would have im mediately sent in their resignations. But not so; they took just a day to consider about it, and then came to the resolution to go on with their bill as if nothing had happened. brings us to Wednesday evening ; but here again another amusing episode occurs, for now Lord Howick, having done his friends all the, mischief in his power, begs leave to announce that he will go no further with his amendment, or, in other words, aban dons it altogether ! Of the debate on this evening we shall say nothing, as we are hastening to the denouement. The grand division on the £8 rating, we shall merely say did not take place on Wednesday, but was postponed to lust evening, the house agreeing to meet at five o'clock for this special purpose. The result of this division, " big with the fate of Melbourne and of Rome," we may per haps know by the mail of this morning ; if so, we shall communicate it to our readers in a second edition. The division will, indeed, be one of momentous import— for if ministers be beaten on it, we cannot, notwith standing all our experience of their tenacity, believe that they will presume to hold on any longer. We are very sanguine in our expectation that last night's division will prove to have been against them. Many circumstances lead us to this conclusion. If we are right, we shall only have to congatulate our readers very heartily, that the reign of Whig O'Connellism at length, very near its end, if not altogether terminated. A very serious blow is aimed at, and will be inflicter on the trade of Liverpool, if, by any accident, the in. land bonding bill, now progressing through parliament should pass. What gain Manchester would make b: it we cannot undertake to say; but avarice, if it be un like justice in other respects, has, as we have frequently observed, a small resemblance to it in this particular — that it is sometimes very near-sighted, if not quite blind. Manchester is not satisfied with its immense traffic and profits as the chief seat of the cotton manu facture—it now aims at becoming, in spite of fate and nature, a great emporium of foreign commerce, and seeks, consequently, to deprive Liverpool of those ad vantages which she enjoys as the legitimate fruit of her position. Avarice, in its blindness, may suppose the attainment to be easy, and close at hand, for, in the cloudy state of its vision, it is apt to mistake the dis tance of objects ; but persons not inflamed by the same diseased cupidity, see things in quite a different light. If Manchester is granted the privilege of becoming a fiscal port, other inland towns will, of course, set up a claim to the enjoyment of a similar privilege—and we may look forward to having an indefinite number of such inland ports. By such an arrangement Liverpool, doubtless, must suffer. II er cotton importers and bro kers must be injured Manchester and other " impor ters," and their employes, must supplant them. But what will the Manchester manufacturer gain by having the staple article of his trade, instead of being all brought to the one market—where prices are at once ascertained, and selections made—scattered abor different quarters, and taken up for divers lesser mar kets. In our humble opinion he will gain a loss, and discover, in the end, that he has been attempting to grasp too much. But this is his affair, not ours. 01 position simply is, that the bill will necessarily do gre injury to our ain town, and that the legislature, hob ing the balance fairly between conflicting localities, as it should do, ought to reject it. We are aware that we have some potent influences to contend against— that there is rottenness and jobbing in the transaction —that a shifty, place-making, patronage-seeking mi nistry gives it encouragement—and that the silence even of our Town Council has been secured by some extraordinary interposition; but we do nevertheless opine that the mischievous scheme may be defe .ted if the people of Liverpool will only move, as they should do, to oppose it. Whatever may be conferred upon Manchester, or any other inland town, will be just so much taken from Liverpool. And for what purpose, or for what cause, we beg to ask, is Liverpool to be sub- jected to such a privation ? Liverpool has a vesto interest in this matter, which the legislature to respect. Liverpool is properly the handmaid o Manchester—her merchant, her port, and her broker —and both have thriven together as fellow-workers and mutual auxiliaries; and why is the connection to be dissolved ? why is the eye to say to the hand I have no need of thee ? why this " sedition of the members" to be encouraged ? We see no reason for it but the mere lust of the eye—the mere wantonness of an un reasonable covetousness, and an unwise ambition. To the country at large it will be disadvantageous, for it will increase the expenses of revenue collection. In short; it is an unwise and a mischievous scheme alto gether, and ought to be most strenuously resisted. We hope the necessary movement may be made in time. Had free trade been the rule, you would have had no such results Abolish your pro- teoing duties altogether, throw open your market per- manently to the foreigner, and he will make his ar rangements to afford you an adequate supply, and to deal with you for your commodities in return. It is your refusal to do this which drives him to the neces sity of manufacturing for himself, and of refusing to sell you his corn, when_a scarcity compels you to re- sort to him, except on cash terms. Such is the reply of the invincible free traders ; but it rests entirely on hypothesis—an hypothesis which, it may be shown, is anything but a sound one. Under existing circumstances, they admit that the inconvenience spoken of by Mr. Gladstone might re sult ; but if the protecting duties were abolished, there would be no reason, they say, to apprehend any such consequence. But if foreigners derive an advantage from protecting their own manufactures whilst a pro hibition is laid upon their corn trade, it is only fair to ask, how that interest would be diminished if their trade in corn were set free ? So far from that interest, whatever it may be, being lessened by this circum stance, it would, we conceive,be considerably increased; for the condition of the corn-grower being improved, he necessarily becomes a better customer to the manu facturer, and therefore the manufacturer, so far from having less interest in the protection of his trade from the prosperity of the corn-grower, has necessarily and obviously more. We ask, therefore, upon what foun dation of probability does this hypothesis of the free traders rest ? Did they propose to make the matter the subject of commercial treaty—did they require that in consideration of the removal of restrictions on our part, an equivalent should be conceded by the fo reigner—there would be some show of prudence in their requisitions ; but when they propose to cut the painter and launch out to sea, depending solely on the common-sense principle for their guide, we are com pelled to say, that at least our common-sense principle tells us that they must very soon be swamped, upset, or wrecked. The common-sense principle, we take to be this, that the foreigner will take all the advantage we are kind enough to give him, and he much obliged to us, but give us as little in exchange as he possibly can; and we do not perceive how or why he should be coaxed into giving up his infant domestic manufac tures merely because we afford them—indirectly, in deed, but certainly—additional encouragement, by en abling the corn-growers of his country to buy them. But there is one country at least, says the free trader, which would deal with us on equal terms, namely, the United States—a country, too, which, if we only give the necessary encouragement, will be quite equal to supply all our wants. But we must deal with things as they are; and Air. Gladstone re minds us that the United States have of late years required foreign corn for their own consumption ; " and," he adds, " even if they had corn to spare, they would also be to pay for it in cash, as the large sup plies of cotton that we annually receive from them alone require the cost of all our exports to pay for them, nor is it long since a deficiency of funds to do so was supplied to make it good by an export from hence. South America, Asia, and the south of Europe, where our goods are exported, have no corn to give us in return, but pay us for them in other productions." And thus the argument returns in full force, that the free trade sought would only drsin away our gold, and in a little time re'ave matters even worse than it found them. As to the memorial on the slave-grown sugar of Cuba and Brazil, it suggests another strong argument to shew, that however good and desirable "free trade" may be in the abstract—and none admit the principle more fully than we do—it is nevertheless quite impos sible to bring it into operation in all cases, without either some gross injustice to particular interests, or violation of some great and paramount principle of religion or morals. The memorial has clearly shewn that, in opening a trade with Brazil and Cuba on the terms and in the articles proposed, flagrant injustice and wrong would be done, in both these respects, to our own colonies, and to that great principle of bene volence which we have, as a nation, made such vast and honourable sacrifices to establish. We could not speak too warmly in praise of this paper, and we are confident that whatever apparent advantage we may forego by refusing to take the sugar of countries in which all the detestable wickedness and cruelty of slavery continue in full commission, we shall find a much greater in the end by persevering in our present system. A sum amounting to nearly £28,000 was Subscribed at a meeting held on Tuesday last, for the purpose of sending out bishops to the various colonies in which this country has settlements, and where such officers do not exist at present. The meeting was most nume rously attended, and dignified by the presence of the archbishops, and a number of the bishops and other dignitaries of the church, several of the nobility, of the judges, and other laymen of rank and influence. . . It has long been a matter of regret to many that a subject of such moment has. heretofore engaged so little attention in high quarters. They were aware, both from reflection and report, of the evils that re sulted from our colonies being left without episcopal superintendance; and they saw but little to hope, in the way of relief, from official persons, in the conduct and feelings manifested by them towards the church at home. British colonisation, they observed, was ex tending to the remotest parts of the globe, and the lan guage and civil institutions of England went abroad also, but, strange to say, the Church of England, in her discipline, polity, and government, and appointed heads, went not along with them. On this important subject no care was bestowed, and no provision was made. It was a great neglect — big with fatal consequences—and every day seemed only to make the cure more difficult, and more hopeless. It was clearly the duty of the government to consoli date the empire, and bind its•colonies and dependencies firmly to it—if they would act from no higher motive — by making the church establishment coextensive with its possessions. But how long should we wait for our rulers to become enlightened on this point? Too much time has been already suffered to elapse without any thing being done, and the government seems still as little disposed to move in the right course as ever. Now the meeting of Tuesday was held for the pur pose of effecting that by voluntary effort which seemed unlikely to be accomplished by any other means ; and the beginning was indeed one of the most gratifying and encouraging kind that it is possible to imagine. On the importance and duty of giving our colonies and dependencies the full benefit of the national church, by giving them bishops to superintend, and ordain, as well as ministers to baptise and teach, there could be no difference of opinion in such a meeting; the won der would be, how any government could attempt to palliate the omission. We can conceive it to have pro ceeded from only one or other of two causes—either an absolute infidelity, which would, of course, ma k e light of all religious instruction ; or contempt for the Church of England, as though religion could be as w e ll care d for without her instrumentality. The omission, we conceive, amounted to a proclamation to all distant lands, that religion was a matter of little consequence, and that our national church was quite unnecessary; and can it be supposed that such an act of foul impiety would not be .repaid to us ? it was by such neglect we lost America, and a continuance in the same course now would endanger the adhesion of other possessions similarly circumstanced, and in time re-act with terri ble disaster on the mother co untry. But the qu es ti on is no longer speculative, but practical.

MEwitNc, OF I.3I.NCKS AND CO., CREDITORS, OF MAN MIESTER.-Op Tuesday the first meeting of credifors under Ads fiat was held, being for the proof of debts and to choose assignees. It was dated 15th March. The bankrupts, Mr. Sohn R. Hayward and William Cosier Fletcher, were in at tendance. Several extraordinary disclosures were made at the meeting relative to certain transactions which the bank rupts had had with other parties. It appeared they endea voured to establish themselves in London and elsewhere, and carried on business in the names of other parties. The amount of debts proved during the day was between £50,000 and £60,000. Besides the amount of £9,363 proved by the Union Bank, the amount proved by the Bank of Manchester was £20,316 ; the South Lancashire Bank, £654 ; Messrs. Orr and CO. (on bills), £696 4s. 6d. ; Messrs. Seeley and Burnside, £302 ss. 4d. ; Messrs. Charles Knight and Co. £5,900. The meeting terminated a little before four o'clock. STREET ROBBERY.--A man, named John Wilson, was, on Monday, placed before Mr. Rushton, charged by a farmer named Nathan Lovelady, with having attempted to rob him on the previous morning. It appeared that on Saturday evening the complainant had been at a friend's house in the New Haymarket, which he left early the following morning. He was proceeding home on foot up London-road, and, on turning into Anson-street, the prisoner and another man laid hold of him to get their hands into his pockets, in which was £7 9s. Od.—but the old man being resolute prevented them, when Wilson (the prisoner) struck him on the face and knocked him down. They again attempted to rifle his pockets, but he struggled with them and called out, when police-constable No. 216, hearing the cry, saw the prisoner and his companion making off, but he succeeded in capturing Wilson. The prisoner was committed for trial. MODEL OF DUBLIN.—This very beautiful model has not been visited by the numbers of visitors we certainly antici pated. We are quite convinced that, if its merits were suf ficiently known, instead of a few dozen persons peeing it per day, as many hundreds would inspect it. It is without ex ception the most exquisite work we ever saw. The houses are all made of wood : the little gardens, which abound throughout the Irish metropolis, are distinctly laid out, even to their very flower-beds. On looking at the model, one might fancy oneself in a balloon, gazing down upon " the swate city" : the Liffey, like a silver snake creeping through it, has its banks covered with warehouses, &e. Take our advice, good reader, and see the model of Dublin. You will be highly gratified, we promise you. Should you be an " Emeralder," a view of what Judy of Roundwood was wont to call " the Cit. of Dub. with Trin. C 01.," will do you good. LIVERPOOL FEMALE PENITENTIARY.—The annual meet ing of the subscribers and friends to this institution was held in the Charitable Institution House, on Tuesday evening. Sir Joshua Walmsley was called to the chair, and opened the meeting with some very pertinent remarks upon the import ance and value of an institution which had now been esta blished thirty years, and had been productive of so much good amongst a class of individuals so greatly to be pitied for their great degradation. John Cropper, jun., Esq., in the absence of the treasurer, Mr. Joseph King, read the audited cash account, and explained the financial circumstances of the charity. It appeared that the institution was upwards of £5OO. in debt. The report of the committee was then read. It appeared that out of 103 applications for admission during the last year, 63 were received, being all that came within the rules. Twenty-one had been restored to their friends or placed out to respectable service, after having been their full time in the house; fifty-seven still remained, and the sum of £423. 16s. 11d. had been received for work done by the peni tents during the last year. The adoption of the report was moved by the Rev. Charles Haydon, Wesleyan minister, who commented upon the facts stated therein in a very judicious and eloquent speech. The Rev. F. F. Barker moved the re solution of the appointment of the officers and committee for the year ensuing. He urged the claims of the institution upon the regard of the benevolent part of the community. Several gentlemen briefly addressed the auditory, when the thanks of the meeting were voted to the chairman, who ac knowledged the-token of respect, and headed a subscription for the reduction of the debt by a donation of ten pounds, which example was followed by some others. Several new subscriptions were also announced. THEATRE-ROYAL.—After an absence of a few brief years Mrs. Warner has again come amongst .us. What she was when she quitted the Liverpool company any playgoer can remember. She has returned with her talents matured, — her style if anything more fascinating, and her person lovlier than ever. Her welcome was the most enthusiastic we have witnessed for many a day. Her Lady Macbeth, on Monday night, was a fine conception. She fully developed the poet's creation, and gave us a true impersonation of the bold, daring, and ambitious woman, who will allow no obstacle to stand between her and her husband's , preferment. Mr. Charles Kean, who made his first appearance this season as the " Thane," played it extremely well. It was replete with those bursts of genius which electrify and delight as well as astonish. Mr. Charles Kean is in full possession of the sub tleties of his art, and we are glad to uphold him as the first actor of his day. Mr. Charles Kean is not without his faults, but we are always too much delighted with him to notice them. Mr. Stuart's Macduff was very cleverly and judiciously played.. Few men know isnd understand Shakspere better than Mr. Stuart. " Macbeth" bas been got up in a splendid style. The audience appeared quite surprised at the new scenery presented to their view, while "the appliances to boot" appeared to afford equal astonishment. If all Shakspere's plays were represented with the same care and expense, we are confident crowded houses would well repay any manager for his outlay and risk. We have never seen " Macbeth" produced in the provinces so expensively as at the Theatre-royal at present.—On Tuesday "The Stranger" ' was played—Mrs. Warner as Mrs. Haller, and Mr. Charles Kean as The Stranger, his first appearance here in the cha racter. He played it with great ability, though it afforded little scope for display. His description of his wrongs was , finely given—his earnestness thrilled through the audience, and drew forth a burst of applause. Mrs. Baker played the Countess Wintersen very nicely. Mr. Bland made the most of the Count. Baker and Slaiter were extremely droll . as Solomon and Peter, while Mrs. Clarke's Charlotte, with her airs and impertinences, was very amusing. But what shall we say of Mrs. Warner's Mrs. Haller? We may de clare, with truth, that so graceful, natural, and so beautiful an impersonation, has not been seen for many and many a day. The sympathy of the audience was enlisted towards the erring but penitent woman from the first ; and pity for her " stooping to folly" prevailed in the sternest hearts ; but , the closing scene was a triumph of histrionic art. Her pathos, tears, grief, and distress wrung tears from many an eye, "albeit unused to the melting mood. The poet says, that "Smiles may be false, but tears must be true ;" and many a true tear ran down stern cheeks on Tuesday night. As for the ladies, God bless them, no wonder they should weep—they would have been no women to have refrained. We never saw such a scene ; a pin might have been heard to fall until the curtain dropped, when a tremendous burst of applause rang through the house, continuing until Mr. Kean appeared, leading on Mrs. Warner, to receive the courtesies of the audience. The closing farce of "The Sleeping Draught" proved anything but a " sleeping draught" to the audience. Mrs. Clarke, as Norma, and Baker, as Popolino, kept the audience laughing for 'the rest of the evening. Noma's packing her lover up in the grave clothes was most ludicrous. Verily, Mrs. Clarke has no compeer in similar characters. To-night, -" Macbeth will be repeated, for Mrs. Warner's benefit. PUBLIC CHALLENGE TO ALL SECRET ORDERS.—A Mr. Doherty, from Manchester, having placarded • the town in every direction, threatening a " heavy blow and great dis couragement" to all secret societies, inasmuch as he would deliver a lecture at the Music-hall,• on the utter absurdity and fallacy of Oddfellows, Foresters, Druids, Recabites, &c., and that he would there develop a plan much safer, and more n in accordance with the attributes of justice, he, according to this public announcement, lectured on Wednesday night at the above-named place, when upwards of 1000 persons at tended. A great deal of noise and confusion ensued with regard to the election of a chairman—Mr. D. wishing Mr. Dix to occupy the chair, he belonging to no society what r I ever , and the majority of the meeting being in favour of a Mr. Kelly. A show of hands being called for, Mr. Kelly had a great majority. Mr. Doherty then commenced his lecture; and although he had stated in the bills that he would show the risk persons were subject to who were in anywise connected with secret societies, he never touched that point, unless when he alluded to the last quarterly report of the Reckabites, where two cases were enumerated of persons being guilty of fraud, and over which cases the ma gistracy said they had no controul, thesociety notheing enroll ed according to the act of parliament. The whole tenor of his lecture bore upon the superior system, as he stated it to be, of insurance. He, along with a number more, had adopted this plan ; but, previous to doing so they had waited upon the directors of the Norwich Life Insurance . Society for the pur pose of ascertaining whether they would insure to the amount of £25. They had for answer that this was rathe r a new feature, and would require consideration. In about th ree weeks after they received an ans wer, statin g th eir willingness to adopt this system, and consequently they had all enrolled themselves under the banners of the Norwich Society for a life assurance for £25. The manner he proposed to raise the 10s. per week for the sick was by . a levy fro m eac h mem ber. so that the money t s be received after de a th, an d t h e sick allowance, were altogether distinct—the members de pending on the Insurance Society for their burial allowance, while the other was controlled by themselves. In favour of his system he urged the benefit to be derived from the mem bers being protected by law, which secret orders could not boast of. After he had concluded, he was warmly attacked by a few gentlemen belonging to the different secret orders in town, one of whom, Mr. Hardwick T a yl or , c h a l; enge d Mr. D. to a public discussion on the merits of the insurance system and the system adopted by secret orders, the largest plaCe in town, which could be had, to be taken for the occa sion, and twopence to be charged f or a d m i ss i on —th e receipts of the evening, after paying expenses, to be given to some charitable institution. Mr. Doherty accepted the proposal, and the parties were to meet after the close of the meeting for the purpose of drawing up the preliminaries, such as fix ing the place and night of discussion, &c. The meeting throughout' was rather turbulent. Mr. Dix stated, previous to our leaving, that he had never as yet belonged to any so ciety, but, from the discussion be had heard, he would cer tainly take the eatliest opportunity of becoming a member of one of the secret societies, and that would be the ,Odd fellows. Mr. Kelly, as chairman, acted in an extremely impartial manner. !rig XA Or e 4r0t,,, tl;ce' usual manner, the respect in which the noble dojo is held by all classes of his countrymen.

GEORGE'S PIER BATHS.—We are happy to announce that these baths are now open for the season, under the superin tendence of Mrs. Penn. and we are certain, from the accom modation afforded, and the attention to the comfort of visit ors always shown at the establishment, that a continuance of the patronage of the town will be given to the widow of the late lessee.---See Add. INQUESTS.—An inquest was held on Friday last at Wal lasey, on the body of John Metcalf, who was found lying dead in a sandhole, at Wallasey, with a deep wound in his throat. The deceased was " boots" at the Victoria Hotel, New Brighton, in Liscard, and had been for a few days in a bad state of health. His master, Mr. Garratt, was very kind to him, and told him on the Wednesday morning, that be would send for a surgeon, bidding him at the same time not to go out of the way. The doctor arrived, but the de ceased was not to be found, and on the following day he was discovered lying on his face quite dead, in a sandhole at Wallasey, with a razor beside him.—On Saturday, an in quest was held at Ellesmere, on the body of James Leech. The deceased was a flatman. and had been drinking in a public-house at Whitby Locks until he became intoxicated. He was then taken to his flat, which lay in the basin, and being missed on the following day, the basin was searched, and his body was discovered. Verdicts were returned in each case according to the evidence. THE DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.—We beg to refer to a notice of a meeting which will take place this day, of the American merchants and others, on the subject of shewing some mark of respect on the occasion of the death of General Harrison. Some en quiries having been made, by several of our correspondents, whether a new election will take place, we beg to state that the present vice-president, John Tyler, Esq., who is presi • dent also of the senate, steps into the president's chair, and serves the time out ; and a new election of vice-president will take place, that office to be chosen by congress, and not by the people. Mr. Tyler is a retired planter, from Virginia, a person of considerable wealth. Now that we ate on this sub ject, we cannot help expressing our surprise that the Mayor, connected so closely as he is with the United States, has not given orders to have the colours at the Town-hall hoisted half-mast ; and we think there is a want of respect shown by many of the masters of vessels in the port, in not paying a similar mournful compliment. We have observed that the Americans at all times exhibit the greatest attention in this respect, on occasions relative to public events in this country. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.—If there is one institution more than another which requires investigation, and demands im mediate reform, it is that of the College of Maynooth. Al ready have the blasphemous, doctrines and the treasonable principles inculcated therein been brought before the atten tion of the public, through the painstaking and persevering labours of a committee of the House of Lords ; but our le gislators are too much imbued with the fashionable indiffer entism of the present day to attend to any of these things, and, unless the are compelled to feel the pressure from with out, they will continue to foster and support any and every teacher and false opinion, if they only minister.to the vile passions of an enslaved population, who are willing at all times to obey the mandate of the priest, and he, as is well known, is the mere tool of a foreign potentate who abhors our liberty, and seeks to destroy our social privileges. Let our Protestant readers, then—all of them—attend the meet ing to be held in the Music-hall on Wednesday next, for the purpose of petitioning our rulers to withdraw the annual grant from Maynooth College. It is expected that the Rev. Hugh M`Neile will preside, and the Rev. Hugh Stowell has been requested to lend his powerful assistance. LIVERPOOL PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—On Wednesday evening an eloquent sermon was preached in Christ Church, Hunter-street, by the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, in aid of the funds of the Liverpool Protestant Association. The weather was peculiarly unfavourable, and a smart shower, which oc curred at the commencement of the service, must have kept many away; nevertheless, the church was almost filled, and the upper gallery was crowded with protestant operatives. Mr. M'Neile selected foiihis text the 2d chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Colossians, and the 18th and 19th verses : " Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary hu . mility and worshipping of anels, entering into those things which he bath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding the head from which all the body by joints and bands, having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God." From these words the rev. gentleman traced the sources of the corruption of Christianity, which had been taught from the beginning by unenlightened men. They were two-fold, Judaism and pagan philosophy ; and it was against both Judaiiing and heathenizing teachers—who had intruded themselves into the Christian church—that St. Paul was to be found strenuously contending in the chapter from which the text had been taken, at every step contrasting the truth which he com mended with the falsehood which he deprecated. He laid it down as a scriptural axiom that a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, as both existed among the Roman Catholics of the present day, was a humility existing in man's own device, and not in any commandments of God, and that it was a wilful humility tending to beguile Christians from the course, which they ought to pursue. For a long time Christendom had slumbered over those things, and though there had been many winning their way to God with out either saint or angel who grieved in silence, yet their number had been but few, and to all appearance the truth had departed; darkness covered the land, and gross darkness the people, but, after a time, light sprung up again. The egregious corruptions of the day affronted even the common sense of some men, and the reformation was'effected. The church in England was then purged from the surround ing error—the holy scriptures were brought out—the voluntary humility and worshipping of angels were con demned—and the church contained a noble protest against those inventions. If the protest of the church of England had been kept plainly before the people, there would be no occasion at present for protestant associations, because the whole church would be a protestant association, and the whole country members of that association. But there had been a declination ; and in proportion as men declined, and the pro test was not made, reiterated, and repeated, the human heart returned ; there had been a relapse into what had been con genial to men's minds—there had been a falling away and a slumber, both on the part of laity as well as the clergy ; this pervaded all ranks of the country—it extended to our rulers, and, indeed, had chiefly been confined to the highest ranks, all in consequence of the needful protest not having been properly attended to. This it was which had given rise to the establishment of such a society as the present—a society whose duty it was to sound the alarm, to remind the country of its protest, to remind the clergy of their pledges, and to ask the latter to redeem them ; for what were those pledges ? Why, the fact was, that every clergyman in the kingdom had given thirty-nine pledges. Was it sufficient for a man who had given such a number to redeem the pledge in fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen cases, and to leave the remainder of them unredeemed? Surely they should redeem them all, and go their rounds, inasmuch as they were, not intended to be use less. The object, therefore, of ,the society was, to sound the alarm among the clergy, to invite them to consider their pledges, and to ask why they permitted some of them to be so long slumbering in their prayer-books, after baying pledged themselves to speak out boldly upon the invocation of saints and the worshipping of angels, and further to why they had continued to slumber in this respect, and why, from the day they were ordained, to the present hour they never opened their mouths on the subject? The reverend preacher next addressed the laity as citizens of the state, and told them plainly that not only was their salva tion hereafter at stake, but that their civil privileges here, and those of their children after them, were at stake also. He asked why it was that the Bishop of Rome should haie any jurisdiction in this realm, and where it was stated in the protest that he should possess such jurisdiction over the heads of the clergy and laity of the land ; Two courses were left open for the protestants to pursue—either to blot out the protest altogether, or to revive such a protestant tone as would give it utterance. There were some who would blot it out, and there were others who would revive the tone ; which of those courses would the protestants pursue ? The protes tants of Liverpool had associated for the purpose of making the prayer-book speak. and to continue sound doctrine and civil liberty in the land ; to hear the " one sacrifice for sin" universally promulgated, and to have one sovereign in Eng land, and no jurisdiction upon the part of the Bishop of Rome. Those were the glorious tones of the protest, and for those purposes they were associated. But means should be used—they did not expect miracles—and it was by means of meetings, sermons, publications, petitions, associations — means such as they had been using for the last few years in Liverpool, and he thanked God they had not been used in vain. Mr. M'Neile then appealed to the congregation to be liberal in supplying the means for carrying on this work. The sermon occupied about an hour and a quarter, and Was highly interesting and instructive. A PEEP IN THE PRINT-SHOPS.—We mus t confess that we like dearly to stare at the print-shops. it is a habit we acquired in our boyhood, while perambulating through the mazes of the great metropolis, before we knew what was ex cellent in art, true in nature, or capital in execution. How many a ten minutes have we not spent gazing at the caricatures in the corner-shop in Pilgrim-street? How we used to revel at Tilt's, feast at Akerinan's, and banquet at Colnaghi's, Moon's, and a hundred other pleasant places, all endeared to us by the happy memories of boyhood! We confess that we still enjoy a good stare in the printshops. Lacey's often at tracts. us, Linnecar's has always fine specimens of fine works, Hunt's is sure to pull us up, and in - Holden's we can always find something to admire. Good or bad, a print is a print, and has given employment to many, from the artist who sketched it, to the publisher who sells it; and, therefore, let. it be honoured. It has been said that in Liverpool the arts are not encouraged. Now how can this be main tained, when we see so much money yearly laid out on the paintings at the exhibitions, the numbers of pictures sold at auctions, the quantities of fine engravings dis posed of by the various printsellers P Why we could adduce a hundred other reasons to shew and prove that art is encouraged in Liverpool, and liberally paid for. Not only do we readily purchase the works of London pub lishers, but the printsellers here issue themselves at their own risk, and upon speculation. Theie have been.many very beautiful engravings published in Liverpool, that are highly esteemed in the world of art. Now that we'are upon this matter, we may notice a very admirable engraving of the Rev. Mr. Haldane Stewart, by Lupton, just published, from the picture by Patten, which was exhibited a year or two ago. This picture, it may be remembered, was painted at the desire of the rev. gentleman's congregation. It has been esteemed so excellent a likeness, that a demand has been excited for an engraving from it.—Another local work, we may here notice, is now in contemplation : we allude to the portrait of the late Mr. W. W. Currie, by . Phillips, now in the Town-hall. This portrait will be readily purchased. The late Mr. Currie's virtues are still fresh in the recollec tion of his friends.—Besides these, a very large plate is now in progress (we believe by Mr. Hague) of a view o f th e r i ver , and the port in the distance. —Quitting local works, we now turn to those of general interest. The first is one which all sporting men will look upon with great pleasure : we allude to the portrait of John Mytton, of Halston. The celebrated sportsman is seen mounted on his famous horse Sir Oliver, and is surrounded by some of his crack dogs, and accom panied by his whipper-in, Edward Eva ns , on t h e ce l e b rate d Little Grey. This engraving is full of character : the like nesses are most faithtul; the grouping is excellent. The landscape is chosen from a portion of the Halston estate. — Amongst other works now complete and in progress, there are the Waterloo Banquet, from a paintin g by Sl a t er ; a mili tary portrait of th e Duke in his uniform of a field marshal, painted by Lucas ; the Queers, receiving the Holy Sacrament Horace Vernet.—Rob er t s ' s Vi ews, now i n pro gress e at her Coronatio n, b y Lesl ie ; and Napoleon and his Gene nerals, by ublieation are occupyin g muc h atten ti on . Th e y r a l s of , p are extremely beautiful, and replete with interest. Railway travelling -must be apprecicted by gentlemen of most vocations, but none perhaps so muc h a s auctioneers, because their busy timeis confined to a few months, and they incline to the good old p ract i ce , t o " ma k e h a y w hil e the sun shines. Referring to our journal of Saturday last, it will be seen that Mr. G. Robins sold, at Ludlow, on Mon day last ; he goes then to Newmarket to sell, on Friday next; on the 4th and sth of May, the following week, Lord South ampton's estates; and the 6tb and 7th, estates at the Mart ; on the 9th, to be at Windermere, in Cumberland ; on the 13th, to sell estates at the Mart ; on the 15th, to be in North. Devonshire ; on the 18th; in Cornwall ; and the 20th, in South Devonshire ; on the Ist of June, he sells at the Mart. After a little breathing time and selling large estates in London, the 17th and 24th of June, he goes to Liverpool, the 29th ; and to Dublin three days after'; and in Shropshire, the 7th of July. This is indeed active employment, and could only be accomplished by the aid of railways. monst
