I ER MAJESTY VISITING THE MODEL OF LIVERPOOL. to 'e Tuesday week her Majesty.the Queen, during her Model through the Crystal Palace, visited the celebrated i odel of this Port.

A STIPENDIARY FOR. BIRKENHEAD.—In consequence of the increase of police business in Birkenhead, an appli cation has been made to Sir George Grey to appoint a stipendiary magistrate for Birkenhead and the surrounding townships. Sir George is favourable to the appointment, but refuses on behalf of the government to contribute anything towards the expenses or salary. The Birken head commissioners have no power to appropriate any portion of their funds for such a purpose, and before the appointment it will be necessary to have an act of parlia ment sanctioning the appointment, and giving powers to provide for the payment of the salary. ELECTION OF BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS.—On Monday the election took place, the voters being divided into the Red and Blue parties ; the former being opposed to the postponement of the laying of the township rates until after the election of the commissioners, and the lat ter being in favour of such a course. A spirited poll was conducted on Tuesday, and the result was in favour of the whole of the gentlemen (except Mr. Golborne, in whose place Mr. Cook was elected) named in the red list, as follows :—J. Laird, 240; H. Watson, 225; S. Light bound, 222 ; W. Graham, 221 ; A. Thompson, 215 ; W. Webster, 207 ; T. B. Golborne, 184 ; C. Cook, 192. THE STEAM-SHIP GREAT BRITAIN.—The Great Bri tain, lately purchased by Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., is receiving a thorough " overhauling." The engines have been removed, and those by which they are to be re placed are being built by Messrs. Penn, of London. They will be of 500 horse-power. She is to have bulwarks in stead of the present iron railings ; the bulwarks to be tour feet six inches in height. Another improvement of a more extensive character is a new saloon, which will reach the whole length of the deck, and be sufficiently large to dine upwards of 200 passengers, besides affording space for the apartments of the officers of the ship, and for icehouses, pantry, and other offices. The Great Britain is intended to run between Liverpool and mew York, and will be ready for sea in September next. Captain Mathews, late commander of the Great Western and City of Glasgow, is appointed commander. WEST INDIA CONTRACT MAIL SERVICE.—From a return which has been printed, it appears that five tenders and proposals were made for the performance of mail service to Brazil. The first was from Messrs. J. B. Moore, Charges Saunders, Joseph Pater, and Charles Cotesworth, of Liverpool, who proposed to furnish ves sels for the service at £14,400 per annum ; Messrs. T. and J. Sands and Co., of Liverpool, offered to undertake it at 50,000 per annum ; Mr. Wheelwright, at £71,500 ; the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, £30,962 ; and the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, whose offer was accepted, at £60,000 per annum. A memorandum attached to the return states that the contract for a con tinuance of the West India Contract Mail service, and an extension of the mail service to Brazil, had been entered into by an agreement, subsequent to the reception of the tenders, with the company who had sent the lowest ten der. ThE SCREW STEAMER NILE.—A paragraph has recently been going the rounds of the London and provincial press, on the comparative merits of wood and iron as materials for shipbuilding purposes. As a recommendation of the latter article, the excellence of watertight bulk heads was urged; and the circumstance of the Nile iron screw steamer putting back to Malta with 13 feet water in her hold, owing to the stuffing box becoming disordered, from the breaking of a bolt, is cited as an instance of its superiority. Had she been built of wood, and consequently without watertight compartments, there can be little doubt that if she had not been lost her cargo roust have been greatly damaged. The superiority of iron, as a material, is cer tainly proved to a demonstration ; but we may state that the Nile never had an inch of water in her hold. When the stuffing box became disordered, the leakage, which was comparatively trifling, was confined solely to the lazarette; and we learn that not a particle of cargo was injured in any way. MR. JONATHAN DUNCAN'S LOCTURES.—We are gra tified to observe the impression which Mr. Duncan's lec tures on currency have created amongst all classes in our town who have heard them, or read them as reported in our columns. The " very intricate subject," as some people choose to call it, of our monetary laws isbeginning to be understood, and from many quarters we are asked for our text books on currency. We recommend to such inquirers a publication by Mr. Duncan himself—" The Principles of Money Demonstrated, or Bullionists' Falla cies Refuted," and also a series of Tracts of the National Currency Reform Assosiation. These publications can be had at our office, and ought to be read by every mer chant, tradesman, and working man. They point out the true course b' which British industry can be pro tected.; for it is as clearly evident as the sun is on a fine noon day, that import duties, in defence of the British labourer, are impossible without such a reform in our currency as will enable us to include taxation in the price of every commodity in which we deal, or which we pro duce. GREAT WHITSITN'TIITE TRZAT.-It will be seen by an advertisement in our paper to-day, that during the present week the Liverpool Zoological Gardens are open at half-price. There is no place of amusement in England more--replete with attractions. The picture of. Mount Etna during the great volcanic eruption occupies a space of many thousand feet. The extensive menagerie contains many beautiful specimens of living animals. A monster model of the Crystal Palace gives a- most accurate illus tration of that stupendous structure. "The centrifugal railway, camera obscura,Sz.c., are in full operation. In the Hall of Nations there are concerts, and every evening light and pleasing vaudevilles and farces are produced, the company consisting of•arfistes selected from the first London theatres. The gardens are most tastefully laid out with grottoes, mounds, and lakes; •indeed, there are few places in England where a few hours can be more pleasantly or more beneficially spent than at this fashion ablnresort. It will be seen that a new company has been brought forward at the gardens. who will perform every evening during the week, '(Saturday excepted.) They are highly spoken of, and include several talented performers, male and female, selected from the principal metropolitan and 'local theatres. The piece provided for them is a humorous farce, " The Whites and Browns, cr a Trip to Richmond," which will be followed up by other attractive novelties. The performances of the company have been highly -successful. LOCAL MEETINGS. WAI.LASEY COMMISSIONERS.—The usual monthly meeting was held on Thursday evening. A memorial, numerously signed, emanating from the inhabitants of Poutton-cum-Seacombe, was presented to the board, set ting forth that, in consequence of a measure of retrench ment adopted by the commissioners last year, reducing the rate of-wages paid to labourers employed on the roads from 16s. to 13s. a week, the regular wages of labourers in the township had been likewise reduced to the same level, and as numbers of these men bad only casual em ployment, and large families dependent on them for sup port, they had been compelled to seek parochial relief. After a long discussion, the memorial was referrred to the improvement committee. Hiszoutc SOCIETY.—The last meeting of this society was held on Thursday evening, in the Collegiate Institu tion, Mr. P. It. , M(Quie in the chair. The following were the presentations made to the society.:—Memoirs of the Earls of Warren and Surrey, 2 vols. 4t0.; the Progress of the Reformation, one oblong folio volume, containing 72 plates, by John Caton Thompson, Esq., and Anglo-Saxon Legend of St. Andrew and St. Veronica, by the Cam bridge Antiquarian Society. A considerable number of interesting relics of antiquity were exhibited. A paper on the British and Roman remains found near,Fleetwood-on the-Wyre, by the Rev. W. Thornber, 8.A., of Blackpool, and another on the ancient ceremony of electing a mock mayor of Newcastle-under-Lyne, by Mr. Mayer, were read. A communication was read from Dr. Kendrick, of Warrington, stating that a number of most interestingdocu ments had been discovered in the thatch of a cottage at Houghton-green, within two miles of Warrington. They consisted of original precepts, dated 1643, from the Earl of Derby, Lord Molyneux, Colonel Norris, and others, directed to the constables of that neighbourhood, for the supply of men, provisions, forage, &c., to the royal army then in the garrison at 'Warrington. A concluding address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Hume ; and after two votes of thanks to the officers of the society for their services during the session, the proceedings terminated. LIVERPOOL STEAM-TUG .COMPANY.—The annual general meeting was held on 'Wednesday, at the Claren don-rooms, Mr. C. Cotesworth in the chair. In conse quence of the enormous competition which the company had been compelled to encounter, the profits of the year were not so great as would otherwise have been the case. The company's fleet at present consisted of nine or ten vessels, of one hundred horse-power, and upwards. Dur ing the last year £6,900 had been, expended for new boil ers. It had been proposed to build a sew vessel, but the purohase of one which belonged to another company had rendered this unnecessary. The financial statement was then read, after which the Chairman said that the total amount of their stock was £61,223, which left £14,486 above the amount of the subscribed capital. He con gratulated the shareholders that they had destroyed some of the competition ; and stated that, by rigid economy and efficient management, there was no doubt they should go on prosperously. The financial statement al lowed him to declare the usual dividend of ss. per share. The chairman then brought forward a proposition, to the effect that Mr. Arthur, who continues still in indifferent health, be placed in a situation in the company's yard, at a reduction in salary of £2OO per annum, and that Mr. Taylor be appointed to the outside department. Mr. Williams, a shareholder, testified to the abilities of Mr. Taylor, who, he considered, had benefitted the company to the amount of £lOO a week since his appointment. The proposition was agreed to. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—The dinner and monthly meeting took place on Tuesday evening last at the club-room, Birkenhead Hotel, and was well attended Several of the club yachts were at anchor off the hotel; amongst them were the Queen of the Ocean, the Vision, the Uralic, the Wyvern, the Ranger, and the Royal Yacht Society schooner Gipsy Queen. The Bacchante cutter was cruizing about in the afternoon with a fine whole mainsail breeze, and passed the club-house several times. The commodore took the chair at half-past five, and the rear-commodore the vice-chair. Several of the other officers and members attended in their uniforms, and sat down to a very excellent dinner, provided by the host.. The following members were elected members :—Mr. Ed ward Moore G awne , K en t raug h, I s l e o f M an; M r . Alf r ed Middleton, merchant; Mr. C. B. Buchanan, merchant ; Mr. W. 11. Prowse, merchant; Mr. Robert Whittle, 91st regiment, Fairy Yacht, 10 tons; and Mr. Francis Chris tian Oswald, Isle of Man. Several other parties were pro posed for ballot at the next mee ti ng . I t was sugges t e d that a sailing match, a time race for all classes, but con fined to the yachts belonging to members only, take place on Saturday, 27th July, and that the sailing committee meet to decide as to the day and place the match is to come off, and report at the next meeting. The Birken head Hotel, at which the club now regularly hold s it s meetings, is becoming a favourite resort. The gar d ens . which are thrown open to the public, are in excellent con dition, and Afford a delightful retreat to the visitors; and THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD the bowling-green, which is carefully kept, is occupied every fine evening by a nume.?ous company of " crack play ers." Mr. Jones, the landlord, since he has succeeded to the hotel, has exerted himself to the utmost to render his house attractive by the completeness of his arrange ments, and civility of himself and his assistants. _ _ _ DOCK CONIAMTEE.—TheLuaI weekly meeting of this body was held on Thursday. A plan of a mahogany shed for Messrs. Chaloner and Fleming was approved of.—A letter was read from Mr. Kennedy, Chairman of the Master Stevedores' Association, calling upon the com mittee to establish some test of fitness for parties acting as master stevedores, and in the event of the committee having no power in the matter, asking to whom they should apply. Mr. Robinson said, they had no right to interfere with loading of ships. Mr. Fisher said, the best answer they could return to the writer of the letter was to say, the stevedores - W. - ere in the same position now as the porters. They had no test even for a master porter. The writer was under the impression they tested the qualifications of master porters—no such thing. Mr. Robinson moved that the communication be allowed to lie on the table. Mr. Tobin said, that not a tenth of the vessels coming to Liverpool employed stevedores. The crew did the work. He never had a vessel stored or unstored by stevedores. The letter was then ordered to lie on the table.—A letter was read from the Rev. D. James, incumbent of St. Mary's, Kirkdale, again asking for a grant of £3O towards the establishment of religious services on the north shore, for the benefit of the work men constructing the new dock works. The Roman catholic families employed there were 22, whilst the pro testant families connected with them were 142. Mr. Langsdale said, if it could be done, it would be of great use. The letter was referred to the solicitor, to report upon its legality.—A communication was read from Mr. Wainwright, stating that the dock accounts for the past year had been presented to both houses of parliament.— A communication was read from a female, whose name we did not hear, asking the .committee to assist her in recovering some dock bonds and other property to which she was entitled as the legal representative of her uncle, a person named Lucas. HEALTH COMMITTEE.—At the weekly meeting, on Thursday, Mr. Fresh, the inspector of nuisances, reported the cleansing of 1,185 cesspools and ashpits ; the issue of 700 midden-notes to persons whose middens were to be emptied ; the inspection of 128 nuisances complained of by the inhabitants ; the reference of 33 others to the borough-engineer for remedy by drainage; the sanatory examination of 1,751 court-houses in the most crowded and unhealthy districts of the town, and the inspection of 193 cellars which had been formerly cleared of their in mates.—Within the last few weeks the average amount of water used in watering the streets of Liverpool has teen 214,896 gallons per day.—During the week ending Sa turday, the 31st ultimo, the deaths registered in the bo rough were 168, of which 115 were in the parish, and 53 in the extra-parochial wards. This shows a decrease of 53, compared with the previous week, and the same decrease as compared with the corresponding week of the three pre ceding years. The principal falling off has been in dis- eases of the lungs, which caused only 49 deaths last week against 73 in the week previous; the number being also less than in any week during the preceding seven months. From zymotic diseases there were 50 deaths ; from ty phus, 8 from bowel complaint, 8 from scarlatina, 4 from measles, I from scurvy, and 11 from small-pcx; two only having been vaccinated. Of the total deaths 100 were children and 68 adults. The mean temperature of the week was 56 degrees, nearly two degrees higher than the previous week.—The medical -officer called attention to the want of sewerage in Back Upper' Parliament -street. It was ordered to be made.—A number of the inhabitants of Bedford-street memorialised the committee upon the subject of a nuisance caused by the smoke from paint works in that street. The chairman intimated that the committee could not interfere, as they had no " smoke engineer."—Mr. Davies, deputy borough-surveyor, ex plained that the delays in the paving of South Castle street-were now obviated, and that the work would pro gress as speedily as possible. &anat . anb llorttrulturr. The Floral Exhibition of the Bebbington Society will take place on Thursday next, and will be grace.; by the band of the 91st regiment, whose performances have given so much pleasure.—The Cliildwall Exhibition will come off on the 19th instant. Amongst the serials which we have received this month the following still take the lead as illustrative works on botany, and are alone worthy of special notice :—Curtis's Botanical Magazine, which contains its usual number of plates, but this month they are mostly known species.— Hooker's Journal of Botany is particularly interesting, from its containing a second report upon Mr. Spruce's dried plants from the Amazon, and other particulars.— Maund's Reissue of the Early Nos. of the Botanic Gar den and Fruitist has plates of the pretty Lachenalia tri. color, Erica herbacea, Polygala chamzebuxus, and Loni cera Tartarica; besides which, a figure of the apple called Dumelow's Seediing.—Sowerbys English Botany pro gresses more rapidly than was promised ; the figures of the species of Mentha in the present volume are beauti fully executed. ;.,•ricultural tiociety in a lecture delivered to the Royr of England by Professor Way, that gentleman state( the combined experience of those who had obtained favourable results from the use of common salt went to prove :—That common salt improved the quality and weight per bushel of the grain of wheat, barley, and oats ; that it strengthens the straw of these cereal crops ; that it increases the crop and improves the quality of swedes, turnips, and carrots. and still more of mangold wurzel; that it improves the quality of the grass in healthy pastures, and makes it more palatable to stock ; that it kills wireworms and slugs, ana destroys noxious weeds; and that it promotes the health of animals when given with their fcod. Common salt has also been found beneficial to potatoes, peas, &c., but not so commonly as to the other crops mentioned. To those of our scientific friends who intend vh world's fair, we recommend a visit to Mr. WyldE which is thus described in the London paper model is constructed on the concave surface o- . . the south pole occupying the lower portion and the north perpendicularly above it, without regard to the inclination of the ecliptic. On entering the globe accordingly, we find ourselves surrounded by the South Pacific Ocean, and already we are struck with the peculiarly picturesque effect of the model. The tracts of land surrounded by a wide expanse of blue ocean present at once a striking picture. Four galleries, connected by a stair in the centre, enable one to survey the whole internal surface ; and from the upper gallery, over which the icy regions of the north pole form a vaulted canopy, the eye reaches downwards in all directions, and is able to embrace almost the whole surface of the glebe. The outward circumference of the galleries are near-enough to the surface to enable one to examine closely the'minutest details of the model, and the relative positions of plain and mountain, valley and table-land. Each part is appropriately tinted—the fertile valley, the granite range, the snowy peaks, the volcanic craters, the lake, the river, and the sandy plain ; and while the , characteristic features of each tract are thus rendered apparent at the first glance, all blend and melt together when the vision groups them into masses, so that the-eye-as readily gathersthe relative magnitudes of minor divisions of sea and cowatry as those of oceans and con tinents. The choice of the concave surface, which to most persons will appear objectionable as not giving a notion-of the globe as it really appears, will upon the first inspection at once be applauded. The superficial confi guration of the various tracts of land is exactly identical with - what it would be on a convex surface, and the only difference is in the direction of the axes of the diffemmt elevations, which converge to instead of diverge from a common centre—a 'difference scarcely appreciable to the eye, owing to the - smallness of the elevations relatively to the extent of the - surface. The advantage, on the other hand, of the concave surface, in allowing the eye to em brace so large a portion of the globe, is paramount, 'the -spectator being able to extend his range of vision almost indefinitely. without change of position, and being thus endowed with a kind of übiquity ; whereas, only small portions at a time of a convex surface could be grasped, and the survey of any extended region would require a corresponding - amount of locomotion, while immediate re ference by the eye from one to the other of the two dis tant points would be impossible. On the importance of this remarkable work as a means of instruction to those bent upon the acquisition of solid knowledge, or as a source of interest to the more worldly and superficial gatherers of information, it would be superfluous to ex patiate. It is evident that the vivid impressions which such a comprehensive survey of the various features of the globe we inhabit as is afforded by Mr. Wyld's model pro duces must tend to fix upon the mind deeply and perma nently all braneles of knowledge and every variety of fact that may be conveyed in connection with the physical peculiarities of the earth. Those whose knowledge is already extended, by having what was an abstract con ception solidified as it were into concrete perception, will find themselves enabled to rise with greater facility into a higher region of research, while those who have yet to master the - fields of knowledge already laid open will find the path-smoothed for them, and many an effort of thought avoided, by what may be called a material tuition. The space within which the globe is placed is surrounded by a circular corridor formed by the beams and joists by which the model is supported, and outwardly again are four large apartments. These, as well as the corridor, are intended to contain maps, plans, models, geographical works and books of travels relating to every-quarter of the globe. So that the " Model of the Earth" will be a depository of all the information that can be obtained of a geographical and topographical nature. -Such an institu tion as this must .necessarily be of immense practical utility, and no less than the work which 'has given rise to it, is deserving-the warmest support of the public. LIQUEFACTION OF CARBON.—In an article on the Ex hibition in the. Times of the 2nd of Juneit is stated that, " If it were practicable to liquefy pure charcoal and allow it to crystalize incooling, we should producediamonds arti ficially." Carbon was liquefied not long since by Mr. Des pretz of Paris, by means of the heat produced by an enor mously powerful-combination of galvanic batteries. On cooling, it invariably assumed the form of plumbago, whatever its original state had been. It has, therefore, been conjectured that the diamond is the result of an ex tremely slow crystalization at a moderate temperature, which perhaps occupies ages, and which cannot be arti ficially imitated. THE SUPREMACY OF THE POPE CON TRASTED WITH THE SUPREMACY OF THE QUEEN. On Tuesday evening, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Man chester, delivered a lecture on the above subject, in the Amphitheatre of this town, in connection with the Church of England Institution. Mr. SAMUEL HOLME occupied the chair, and the proceedings having been opened with prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Mosse, introduced the lecturer in a speech of some length, in the course of which he alluded to the loyalty of the people of England ; and contended that the supremacy of the Pope was utterly incompatible with the supremacy of the Queen, and would not be tolerated by her Protestant subjects. The Rev. Huai{ STOWELL then came forward, and was received with much enthusiasm. No nation he said, ever so sturdily or so steadily withstood the usurpation of the great mitred despot of Home as our own g l or i ous nat i on ; and no nation had achieved the victory of the reformation more majestically or effectually than our own beloved land. They had deemed that the battle with Rome had been finally fought and won; and finally won it would have been if they had not slept upon their arms, and drunk of the cup of her sorceries. But it was useless to bewail the past, except as it led them to redouble exertions for the future. They were fairly committed to the great struggle again. The battle between the independency and supre macy of the throne of England and the usurpation of the mitred prelate of Rome was again to be fought. (Hear.) The conflict, to be successful must he enlightened, and based on sound information and just views. These must be derived from reading and thinking—from searching the records of the past, and especially fiom searching the pages of the record of divine inspiration, the only infalli ble guide far Protestant men (Hear, hear.) The ques tion for them to decide was, whether there should be the supremacy of the Queen or the supremacy of the Pope— whether they would have the dark despotism of Pius the Ninth or the free enlightened opinions of intel:igent Pro testantism ? By the supremacy of the Queen he under stood what was expressed in the 38th article. It was short and simple, and easy to be understood. It affirmed thnt she had authority over all her subjects, whether lay or ecclesiastical. In a court of justice she had supreme Jurisdiction. (Hear.) The supremacy of the Queen was a legitimate and scriptural supremacy. She derived it not from usurpation, nor from conquest, but in direct lineal descent from her ancestors. She held her throne by the will of God, and also by the loyalty of her people. (Cheers:) The authority of the Queen was scriptural, and as such they were hound to obey her. But further, the supremacy of the Queen extended over all religious bodies whatever. Many Protestants denied the supre macy of the Queen except over the Church of England. They said she was the head of the Church of England, but over them she had no control. He knew of no such distinctions. They all received the protection of the state, and they should all submit to its government. (Hear, hear.) And they all would do so except th e Church of Rome, that alien body, which wanted another head. He was aware it would be said the Queen was the head of the Church of England. This he repudiated. The Queen was never called the head of the Church of England in any official documents. Many of their friends said this was a battle between two churches. It was not so. Nor was it true that the Queen was the head of the Church of England, as the Pope was the head of the Romish Church. The articles of the chur c h gave t h e Queen no power to administer the sacraments, or to min ister the word of God. They could not look upon the Queen as having no interest in the church, and th e y h a d ever found that a nation most flourished, as might be seen by the Jewish nation, where God was most honoured. His object was to show that the supremacy of the Queen was scriptural, legitimate, modified, measured, whole some, and successful in its results. (Cheers.) On the other side he would claim to show the sovereign pontiff, whose supremacy was founded upon fraud, forgery, and unsup ported assumptions. Mr. Stowell then adverted to the various disputes as to papal succession, and to the tem poral, as well as spiritual , interference of the Roman 'Catholic Church. Consistent papists must obey the Pope in preference to any earthly power. Away with the horrible abomination. He had no sympathy with men who did not abhor the Church of Rome,—no sympathy with that loyalty which did not denounce her,— no sym pathy with the sense of justice of that man who did not reprobate her,—no sympathy with the purity and integ rity of tbat man who did not utterly abominate her odious confessionals—(hear and applause)—he bad no sympathy with the Englishman who did not say, come what fearful invasion may, never let that worst of all calamities befal us, that Protestant England shall again io tied to the chariot wheels of the monstrous usurper of Rome. 1 (Loud cheers.) In conclusion, Mr. Stowell referred to the duty incumbent on all sound-hearted Protestants at the next election, and said that two stanch Protestant members had been found for Manchester. Let Liverpool take care that she had not been distanced in the race. O❑ the motion of the Rev. Mr. PARRY, seconded by Alderman PARKER, a vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer by acclamation.

They are in themselves intimately blended : it is absurd to talk of price without reference to money; and it is impossible to alter the quantity of money without affecting prices. Dis jointed discussion on tl ese two vital points is the precise cause of the dangerous conclusions now sanctioned by Parliament, existing proprietors."• Currency."

But become money On the other bend, it is wonderful how the Freetraders can expect more trade, when they vote in Parliament for contracting the money, through which only trade can be carried on. It is in vain to look for improving trade, whilst money does not increase with the increase of popu lation and productions. ' Our candidates at the approaching election must not be permitted to pass this question sub silentio. If their e addresses leave the question of Currency _untouched, tnt will be found to proclaim on the law which gave birth to the panic of that ti MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL The usual monthly meeting was held on Wednesday, the'rillAYou presiding. After a short discussion as to the propriety of departing from the business as set forth in the summons calling the Council, it was agreed to con sider the report of the special committee appointed to inquire as to the arrangement which the Council should adopt with respect to the office of STIPENDI ARY MAinSTRATE. The TOWN CLERK then read the report of the com mittee. It recommended that one stipendiary magistrate should be appointed, at a salary of £l,OOO per annum ; the institution of a Mayor's court.; and that Mr. Mans field, barrister-at-law, should be recommended to Si r G. Grey as a fit and proper person to succeed the late Mr. Rushton.—Mr. S. Hoaiva moved the adoption of the report, and entered into a variety of statistics respecting the •extent of the business of the Liverpool police-court; and having urged the reasonableness of the recommenda tions which the report .contained, he showed that of the many candidates who had offered for the situation, lir. Mansfield was undoubtedly the best.—Mr. PRUCTER considered that the committee had exceeded their duty in , naming any gentleman to :fill the office of stipendiary magistrate.—Mr. CiALMRR rose to move an amendment. He agreed with Mr. Holme as to Mr. Mansfield's talents, but considered that they should not travel out of the town if they could find therein a gentleman equal to the duties required. Alluding to former appointments, he said that the recommendations of Mr. Hall and Mr. Rushton gave the Council a locex standi with the then Secretary of State, but their nomination of Mr. Mansfield took that ground away from them. He concluded by moving that Mr. F. K. Blair be recommended.—After considerable discussion, Mr. CHIA ILAIESi modified his amendment, by agreeing to add Mr. Blair's name with that of Mr. Mans eld. On a division of the Council, 40 voted against and 10 for the amendment; consequently, Mr. Mansfield was nominated for Sir George Grey's approval. THE POWDER SSAGAZINES The TOWN CLERK reported that the Government bill for the removal of the Magazines had been referred to a special committee, who intend to have clauses inserted to the•effect that the Admiralty shall have the power of se lecting the locality of the Magazines, and that if the lessees of the present Magazines sustain any damage by the removal, they are to receive compensation from Li verpool. The only thing the committee appeared toknow and think about the Corporation of. Liverpool was, that it was rich and could pay for anything. He would return to London that night, and try to prevent such proposi tions being carried out. THE FINANCE CONMITTEE The proceedings of this committee comprised recom mendations to purchase the property of the. Old Haymar ket, under the Improvement Act; to allow the appropri ation of £5OO out of the surplus income for the purpose of widening Sandhills-lane ; to authorise the construction of the new street to be formed by the dock trustees, under the Dock Act of 9 and 10 Victoria, of the width of 72 ft.; and to grant 3,600 yards of land, as a site for the Boys' Orphan Asylum, adjoining the FemaloOrphan Asylum, on similar conditions to those contained in the grant or assurance to the trustees of that asylum.—A discussion ensued on the third recommendation respecting the new street at Wapping. Several members protested against such a serious outlay (X 37,000), when the advantage was only questionable.—Mr. S. HOLME, who warmly advo cated the proposal, consented to refer it back to the Fi nance Committee. DOCK COMMITTEE Mr. LirrLEDALE, in moving the confirmation of these ,proceedings, said that the subjects of chief importance were the fact that the junction between the south end of the town and the London and Northwestern line, by the dock railway, was now formed ; and the appropriation of a.portion of the Huskisson Dock to the timber trade, with a very trifling expense to the dock estate. This would relieve considerably the crowded Brunswick Dock, and afford, also, to those gentlemen who wished to go to the north an opportunity of doing so. Another subject in which the committee felt interested was the charge made by Mr. Bigham against some of the servants employed by them. He (the Chairman) must admit that the charges were in some cases true, though Mr. Bigham had failed to bring forward legal evidence of their commission. On behalf of the dock-gatemen and piermasters generally, however, he would say that they were as respectable as men in their station could be expected to be.—The ex penditure upon the Huskisson Dock was briefly canvassed, Mr. 8. HQLME expressing his opinion that this step was only the getting in of the narrow end of the wedge, for the purpose.of ultimately removin g the ti m b er trade to the north end of the town.—Thecommittee's proceedings were confirmed, and the Council adjourned until Wednes day (to-morrow.) THE WHITSUNTIDE FESTIVITIES.- EXCURSION TRAINS, The .first cheap train of the season from Liverpool to the Metropolis left the Edgehill station on Saturday morning. Contrary to all expectation the numbers who availed themselves of this cheap means of seeing the Exhibition, were by ,no means great, not more than three hundred, which does not exceed, if indeed it reaches the number conveyed by the corresponding train of former years, when the metropolis offered no extraordinary attraction. Yesterday morning there was a falling off, the numbers which left this town being only 150. The other towns on the line under Mr. Marcus's management, including Manchester, Bolton, St. Helens, Wigan, &c. &c., however, appear fully to have appreciated the oppor tunity of visiting the Crystal Palace, as the train leav ing Edgehill, on Saturday, with 300 passengers, received on its way an accession of 3100 previous to its reaching London. BiOirtrt Miss Wilson Patten has accepted the office of patroness of the John O'Gaunt Bowmen, Lancaster, and Mr. J. Heywood, M.P., that of patron, At the Manchester Borough Court, on Tuesday, Thos.

It appeared deceased was kicked and otherwise ill-used during a quarrel with the prisoners. INCREASE OF CRIME IN MANCHESTER.—Some years ago it was resolved to build a borough gaol capable of containing 430 prisoners, and a sum of £91,700 was borrowed for that purpose. It was thought, at the time, that this was providing rather handsomely for th e perpe trators of crime within the borough. Last year the average number of prisoners in the gaol, at any given time, did not exceed 400, which left a verge of 30 to play upon. But this year the case is wholly di▪ fferent. The other day there were no less . than 502 prisoners within the walls, so that six or eight prisoners have to be associated together in the larger rooms,--thus defeati▪ ng that very " separate system" which this gaol eras built to ensurco.— Manchester Courier. Falkner-square be repeale THE REV R. W \VOLSEI IPPnNEN PLY TO HIS TO THE EDITORS OF THE L. -Though I have ever been unwilling to intrude my name upon public attention, yet having seen several letters in various papers respecting the disturbance in Standish-street, may I beg your insertion of the fol lowing, in reply to all, but especially to the one which has IVERPOOL STANDARD GENTLEMEN,-- appeared in - tile last number of the Liverpool Times, signed " A Roman Catholic," for the writer, though ano nymous, avoids the scurrilous nonsense which another writer, ancnymous, has seen lit to indulge in, and a man of sense and kindly feeling. Now, in the I cannot agree with him in saying, that he- „ . cause St. John's district, or any part of it, is inhabited chiefly by Roman Catholics, that therefore I ought not to perform what I believe to be my duty as one of the ap pointed ministers of the district. And if there are some who do not attend the house of God, either from want of will or from want of clothes, am I therefore to be deterred from speaking to thenz, or trying to do them good, because there happens to be a Romish chapel not far distant ? But the writer may ask, was that your intention ? I can honestly say, in the sight of God, it was. I did not go down to Standish-street for the purpose of proselytising, or to assail Romanism ; this I have avoided, and, with God's help, will ever avoid, when speaking in the ” streets and lanes of the city." My only object was to try and do the people good, and I think they appreciated my motive, for they listened to me attentively for more than a quarter of an hour, and would have continued to do so, I verily believe, had we not been interrupted As for the writer's statement that " I am an incarnation of attacks upon Popery" and that with me " Christianity is understood to mean Down with the Pope,' " upon what authority he states this I know not; for myself I repel the charge as a downright falsehood. Christ, not the Pope, is the centre of my Christianity, and has ever been the subject of my preaching. Again he states, "of course," (why of course ?) " no man can suppose that if his preaching and presence were tolerated for ten minutes he would not approach his one idea." This is also false ; in proof of which I can refer to the last time 1 preached in Preston-street. There I preached for nearly an hour, and not one word did I speak about the Pope or Popery ; and though there were many Roman Catholics listening, they heard me with great attention, and invited me to go there again. As to Dr. Cahill's preaching in the streets to which thewriter alludes only as a 'suppose,"l feel:persuaded that if Dr. Cahill abstains from attacking Protestants and their religion he would be permitted to preach the Gospel and to explain the word of God unmolested, although every one of his hearers were Protestants or Orangemen. Few things, certainly, would give me more pleasure than to standby Dr. Cahill and listen to him, or to any other Priest, with the Bible in his hand, speaking of the Saviour and his finished work, as the only hope for perishing sin ners. The writer speaks of my requiring " pity." I want none of it. I did what I believed to have been my duty, and, nothing daunted by the past, am prepared to do the same again. He speaks of my intrusion on poor Irishmen. Poor indeed they are, and therefore most anxiously do I de sire to bring them that which also can makethem happy, the unsearchable riches of a free pardon and full forgiveness through a crucified Saviour. In conclusion, let me assure the writer that I do not intend to give up my right of going into St. John's district, or into any part of it, at any time I may judge fit; nor will I cease to do so until the fact is established that the people if left, to themselves, whether they be Protestant or Roman Catholic, are unwilling to listen to the word of God ; and should any disturbance arise, or should I be interfered with in the discharge of what I believe to be my duty (which I do trust may not be the case), I am thankful to be able to feel that the fault will not rest with me, but with men who, taking advantage of the ignorance of the people, stir them up against those who try to do them good. Never, that I remember, has a Romish priest been insulted or illtreated when speaking or preaching to the people in the street by any Protestant. Why then, in all fair play, should they not extend to us the same privilege, especially in these days when the Romanists are themselves the loudest in their cry for religious liberty and toleration ? I remain, your obedient servant, ROBERT W. WOLSELEY, Curate of St. John's. POPERY-DISSENT. MR. PITT TO THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER. Mr LORD,—NOW my good lord, a sincere friend, as well as open, will I know, be pardoned by you a free ob servation or two. The true sentiments of friendship impel me to confess I wish one passage in the able tract* totally expunged. " If," you say, " the idea we have here given of the test law be true, it is apparent that the general, though not immediate purpose of the legislature, in their law, was to provide for the safety of the national church, from what quarter soever the danger might arise : at one season it might spring from Popery, at another from Puritanism ; but the various mischiefs were to be repelled, as they sprung up, with equal vigilance and vigour." Now, my lord, however this position seems qualified by the distinction which follows in favour of the Dissen ters' errors, the passage nevertheless distinctly asserts this opinion, —viz., that the errors of the Puritans, which turn upon the use of the surplice, the cross in baptism, and upon church government, are to be repelled equally with the errors of Rome.—that is, equally with rank idolatry,—a subversion of all civil as well as religious liberty, and the utter disgrace of reason and of human nature, I agE nea repeat my hopes of pardon upon two matters so my heal t,—a preference of the reformed religion, even in this least commendable of its modes, compared to the horrors of Rome, and the sacred liberty of the October, 1762 * Doctrine of Grace, &c., &c THE BISHOP'S REPLY. PITT. HONOURED Stn,—l hold myself infinitely obliged to you for your goodness in your kind remarks on two im portant passages. In p. 272 I have certainly expressed myself very ill (and will as certainly reform it), while I am understood, by so accurate a judge, "expressly to assert,—viz., that the errors of the Puritans, which tnrn upon the use of the surplice, the cross in baptism, and church government, ought to be repressed equally with the errors of Rome ;" whereas my opinion is, and ever was, that the state has nothing at all to do with errors in religion, nor the least right so much as to attempt to repress them. Mischiefs, indeed, I said should be re pressed ; but by this I meant evil mischiefs, arising from religious quarrels : when two churches in a tolerating country are pretty nearly equal in power (as I suppose they would soon be without a test law), and are for repressing one another's errors. The occasion of my saying this arose from my observing, that the test law was made to provide for the safety of the national church ; a provision not for the sake of religion but of civil peace. For if one church is to be established, and all the rest tolerated, it is for the peace as well as honour of the state, that the tolerated should be debarred the power of disturbing the established, in the enjoyment of the legal rights of an establishment. Just as we see the nearest relatives of the same house, when they fall out, though it be about trifles, the quarrel is generally prosecuted with more acrimony and determined sentiment, than disputes of moment between strangers. It was the sense of this which made me say, that the civil mischiefs which might arise from Puritanism were to be watched with equal vigilance, 2nd repelled with equal vigour, as those from Popery; but, with regard to the nature of the religious errors of each, the difference was immense. For the rest I have always regarded Popery rather as an impious and impudent combination against the sense and the rights of mankind, than a species of religion; while the differences which divide us and the Dissenters are of so trifling a nature, that their making a schism rather than conform, and our hazarding one rather than to indulge them in their scruples, will be the eternal opprobrium of both the churches. I have the honour W. . GLOUCESTER. Prior Park, November 14, 1762.

I -will, how ever, venture to say, that had that bill never passed, and had the same monetary system been continued as prevailed during and at the close of the war, there can scarcely exist a doubt that a very large portion of the public debt might by this time have been paid off, ptohahly 500 millions.

They know that we stand in a less formidable attitude than at any preceding period—they know that Lord John Russell would scruple to say, as Lord Chatham once did, that not a cannon should be fired in Europe without his permission. How, then, are the mighty fallen ! Where is our pre-eminence? Certainly not in the financial resources of our present system." The debt of the country thus reduced, we might have had cheapness—healthy cheapness—cheapness not attained by driving our sempstresses to live on the wages of infamy, and our working classes generally to live in hovels, and to curse the institutions of their fatherland ; but, instead, cheapness, the result of the superior energy, skill, freedom of action, and civilisation of British men. Douglas Jerrold rebuked Albert Smith, the novelist, who was boasting of his intimacy with Lamartine, the great French statesman. Among other things Smith said that " he and Lamartine were like brothers —in short, that they had rowed in the same boat !" Jerrold signifi cantly scratched his head, saying—" You may row in the same boat, but with a different sort of sculls." A QUAKERESS AT SCHOOL.—There were two of the girls given to preaching; these two—both prime pets of Sister Betsy—plagued me sadly. My hair was long. Ohi! what concern Eliza Morland had that I should not or have it cropped off like her own, but that, influenced her persuasion, I should ask permission to bare it d She said "it would be an acceptable sacrifi my boots ; there was a tassel on my boots, w They en: Liza and Anrip ionish or great mental concern to both E treated me to cut off the Baby, m e " I would have peace in so doing." Another thing disturbed these righteous girls, as Sister Betsy once called them to me ; that was, that before ge tt ing i nto b e d , I knelt to repeat the Lord's prayer, as my mother had ever taught me to do. There was not one of all the forty girls, but myself, had been so habituated. Eliza and Anne re monstrated with me on this, which they called a Popish practice ; and because I paid no regard to their preach ings, they then went and told Sister Betsy, and she forbad me to kneel. She said, "it was too solemn an act for any one but an appointed minister of our Society, and wholly unbecoming in one so far from righteousness as I was." One of our girls used to make for herself, and wear, most enormous pockets. " Jane," said I, "isit to be thought pious, thou bast such big pockets ?" She laughed. " Yes," said she, " Sister Betsey does think them more friendly than thy littir , cerans of things; but they are very convenient. Look ! what I I and told in them now." I looked, and saw a good sized book ; it was Ivanhoe. '•I can always borrow fa, book when Igo fto dine with my cousin on first day," said Jane; and if thou wilt write out my French exercise for me, I will let then read it." I gladly agreed ; and whether it was because stolen waters are sweet, or because of the exceeding fasci nation of the book itself, certainly no one ever enjoyed a book more than I did that, and some more of the same delightful author's works, which I obtained in the same manner. When reading it in the arbour or in the study I always took care to provide myself with either an Atlas or Sarah Grubb's Journal ; and then if either one of the mistresses or one of the spy girls came in sight, the novel was popped under, and the Atlas or the Journ innocent or edifying.—Quakerism by a MeiriL Society for forty years.
