SUTTON'S EXHIBITION AT THE LIVER THEATRE.— This' is Mr. Sutton's last week of exhibiting. his extraordinary performances The houses since his commencement have been both crowded and respectably attended. We have before no tked his clever feats o f legerdemain, and his talents as a ven triloquist, and we can only repeat our former advic e , t o those f who:wish . or an evening' s 'amusement, that they , will most as suredly find it a tA r: Sutton's 'exhibition: Its variety baffles our descriptive powers; we cannot, however, say too much in praise of his ability,. • LIVER THEATRE.—This theatre, under the management of Messrs. Raymond and Hammond, will commence its season at the usual period. As the Theatre-royal is also to be kept. open, for a season, someapprehensions are entertained by the friends Of the smaller, but. equally' attractive establishment, that the :contention with its more powerful rival will result in an unpro-• ductive seas o n. For our own part, however, we cannot see why a town like Liverpool should - not be able to support two theatres, while in London a plurality of them,'out of all proportion, are successful. An excellent company of performers has, we un derstand, been en gage d , and the spirit with which-the managers have conducted their former undertakings is an earnest that the present season 'will not be barren of interest. The season com mences on Monthly next. SERMON OF THE ItEV. HUGH 11• NEILE AT ST. MARK'S CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Ste.—On Tuesday evening last, according •to previous an nouncement, a sermon was preached at St. Mark's Church, by the Rev. H. 111'Neite after which a collecti on was made to de fray expenses incurred by the purchase of a new organ ; and never perhaps at any period did the church present a spectacle so truly animating. heing.denSely crowded io every part, even to the filling of all the ait;les; it was with no small difficulty ad mission could be alitained with convenience for .hearing after the time appointed for divine service. Passing over any re marks upon the-choir, so admirably arranged, and the noble in strument which ga to the performance all the, grandeur i and magniticencemf harrnane and aaing, and to thoSe present every thing that could oussitly,eticlEint . and delight the ear, I w ou ld briefly advert toThne o r two particulars of the sermon, and which, 1 fear. frail , ' the , mode of treating - adopted by the rev. gentleman, will have lea some to -infer that sacred •thusic•-is -a subject with him rather to be discouraged than .countenanced in any of our temples of,worship; than which nothing could be farther from the design of the learned. preacher throughont the whole of his discourse. The portion of scripture selected for till& text was taken from the - book of Zhe prophet Ezekiel, 33 chap. xxxii v.; a n d, as w ill b e seen, hi g h ly appropriate to the - 'occasiou. The preacher first adverted to the state of the .Jewish people in the days of the prophet, and to the' reCeption lie met with, - as itiSO the mode juvariabiy. adopted by them in bearing the solemn warnings, rebukes, and athnonitions whiCh at that time seemed the subjects of his high and holy commission ; and here, the learned gentleman drew the striking parallel between the conduct of the - Jews then, and that exhibited by a great por tion of the professing christian world now expressing, in their outward demeanour, !lrch apparent deep anxiety about perso nal holitiess, yet destitute of the principle of active virtue. That music possesses many and pleasing attractions, all ca-. pable ofadministering to the enjoyment of the more refined and - sensitive parts of our nature cannot be denied ; but the rev. gentleman maintained as an objection against this, that it also possessed over many minds an influence tending to create fal lacious ideas respecting its character, as though it stood closely connected with religious principle, than which nothing can be farther from the truth for if it be affirmed that music greatly augments our spiritual enjoyments then may it also be affirmed, that our organic powers partake of thi oneness with the imma terial existent part-of our being, and that, therefore, there can be- no real distinction between the perceptions of sense, and that principle of the soul relative to its connexion with essen tial holiness ; and there lay the danger of misenderstanding the rev, gentleman's argument; it was on this part of. his. subject, where many, I - fear, would be likely to draw an incorrect infe rence; hut so manifestly did he make it appear by pleasing and familiar illustration, that enjoyment of our sensitive organs ter minated with the oecasien which first provoked them; that I wonder to find, as indeed I -have - !mind, any who could so far misapprehend the design and scope of the entire subject, which evidently went to•show the unhappy consequences resulting to those who mistake excited feeling for religious principle; and not, as is reported, in' anywise to discard all music as a mis chievous accompaniment of religious worship. It was ob served by some who wide preaent, that the rev. gentleman did not expatiate . upon the merits of musical performances quite so largely as appears to have been anticipated, but simply adverted to it, more as accidental than intentional; in reply to such, it may be observed, that had be done so, in terms of the most lavish conimendation. where would.have been the advan ta,g,es—ney, rather where not the disadvantage?—for there is reason to fear that had such- been the case, to gratify the few; many would have left the charch under feelings of grievous .. disappointment, instead of deriving spiritual edifilmtion from a well digested discourse, ;It was not, I prOstime, the •preaeher's intention, when invited to the pulpit of .St. Mark's, to com mence a laboured dis.quisition to the Musical world, either to prove hisknowledgeof 01% enchanting art, or his -skill iu its • performance ; - far otha:twise,-pulpit elaqiience busies not itself with -ohjects of mere sensitive erfjoyinents; whether it be music, vocal, or ins( runiental,- • or' anything, in short,'which merely ..fornas.an acc , onpaninseut, and is not essential-to •religiens. Wort , ship; the great business of a divine, is to watch wit h_ all care and vigilance for the spirittil -well beino. ; ~f his hearers, to " rightly divide the word of truth,'' and so leave all anhject of less .vital importance, to those only whose inclinations lead to ralmire,', and whose love of- plactice induce to action. Flow then dldahe Rev..Geutleman in question treat the subject Of his • discourse ? TrUly, by calling the attention of his hearers to the fundathroitals,of rcligiott. All biaetiergiea.wereiiirected, and all his eloquenee etnployedin pointing out and setting forth the character of deity as exhibited. in his word ; a .subject so well calculated to excite the better feelings of our nature, anti to bring into active exercise those infections Of the soul, which in their operation result. iu communicating a rich source of spiri-' teal enjoyment to their happy possessor Thus did he preach the paramount impotence of the messnge sent. and, while ex pa tiatina on God's love—contrasti ng 'the same with the untie servedoes3 of man even in a state of the twist exalted piety—the loftiness of his style, and the grandeur of his imagination, ap peared so to rivet the attention of. his bearers,. as at times to produce a stilness throughout. - the vast assemblage, a solemn silence, characteristic onlY of the grave. It may reasonably enough be . anticipated —as such I have been infornied is the case —that the columns of, some of your esteemed contemporaries are to contain observations oir an inflammatory nature against the conduct of the. rev. gentle man in question, and in the abondthice of their liberality, as we have seen, are liberal even to profuseness, in fulminating out their bitter invective, because, fOrsoo.th, the organ, with all its interim' machinery, &e., did not f orth a l ea di ng f eature o f t h e learned gentleman's truly Scriptural discourse, and that there fore the object for which he was invited proved a complete failure. I much wonder whether the amount of money pro cured, £llO, on that occasion would not have fallen far short of what it did, had the whole musical world been particularizedin detail. If the object Of those in attendance, who were so unfor tunthe'as to mistake.the subject of discourse so ably and elo quently gone through, was only for the purpose of gathering information touching the construction of organs, &c., then I can well enough appreciate the angry feelings and dis appointed topes of the unenvied few ; with. such anticipa tions, the Alessrs. liewsher and Fleetwood were the fittest persons front whom to gather the required knowledge, and not from a professed minister of the Gospel, - whose duties are of a 111 , 4 e sacred character, and whose provinee it is to interrneddler not with secular concerns only so fasts it is needful for the cammoripurpOSes of life. Whenever. therefore, the same get:tleined•is invited to occupy the pulpit of snore one of his respected tel let me advise the more petulant and fastidiousite - arers; 'first to satisfy themselves, if - possible,'as to the course likely to . he pursued by the learned divine, which according to truths, that they presume not to retire from the temple appropriated • for religious worship, under feelings the most unchristian, and with disappointed and blighted hopes.

TO THR RDITOR OF 7'HE LIVERPOOL ST-CVD.IRD. Sin, —The following circumstance occurred .very-recently in this 16 , v0. An Irish Roman Catholic servant acknowledged to her mistress it she had at .times, when she refused her in- than her USWIL and as was thought sufficient, allowance. of .Lone aro secretly taken it from the bowl. And she said this teas no sin, hevonse she did nut give it out . of ihe house. If this offence were an individual act, unconnected with the doctrines taught by the church of which.. she is at member, the odium and guilt would rest with the individual so offending but, that it is only the : natural fruit of the t precepts of the Church of Rome, let the following extracts prove. Ext.ravt hue Baillti's • Treatise on xiioral., Theology, liar: of the the coarse of study in _the Renton Catholic College ihe Educa y Prioxis, Atlaynooth, Ireland . • " Qiestioit—What is to be thought of servants who ; pilfer } ( sun, epientibus) aay thing from their masters? " .Answers. —That th e y s i n mor t a lly if they 110:r a consider able quantity; venially if a small quantity. But, if they steal money, furniture, or such things, the. same quantity is required to constitute a mortal sin as if the .wese , . • strawers• nay, rather, their crime is more detestable, as Well because they violate the trust reposed in th em b y t h e i r masters, as b ecause th e i r mas t ers are oftener more di sp l ease d t h an if a stranger sto l e [non them. . But if serv an t s s h oul d p ilf er ( sat ripeertnt ) any thing to eat, they,do not always sin; that is to say, if it be some food which their masters would readily, permit them to use if. leave were asked front them ; or, at least, they sin more venially, and a greater quantity is required to make a mortal sin than with respect to strangers, because it would be generally less -con trary to the wishes of a master. They sin mortally, however, if they. pilfer for the purpose of carousing, or in order to sell, or give away to others, or if, they should make use of dainties and choice wines, which the master wishes to reserve for himself,. and which are not usually a ll owe d to servan t s ."—B a ill y ' s The logy. rot 2. p. 239-210. That pilfering small quantities, in this extract, does not refer to the understood liberty of servants to eat a sufficient quantity of the articles given for their use is evident from the passage itself, because the answer sets out by saving, that " to pilfer small.quantities is a venial sin," and even in respect to small quantities pilfered N. eating, it acknowledges it may be " more veni a l sin." But to eat what is allowed by the master is no sin at al!. And, therefore, liberty is here given actually to steal, tind yet the Church of home teaches her priests ancrthe priests teach the periple' that it is no sin, or at least a more venial one. Suppose it to ba a venial sin, let us see the harrier opposed to its committal by the Church of Rome, by consider ing the doctrines taught respecting venial sins in another part of the. comae on theology, viz.:—Dogmatic Theologq, vol. 5, p. 56, where we learn that venial sins do not separate from the • grace of God; that they may 'be' concealed front the priest ' without incurring blaMe, and may be expiated in many ways. Bow trifling a matter they make venial sins! What a strong safeguard fora master's property ! l'hus it is easy to perceive whence sprung the servants (Met - rine and pratice. - How opposed is this theology to the holy doctrines and precepts of the word of God! We there learn conceraing sin, 4 :".l'he soul that - sinneth it shall die." Ezeki4 c. IS, v. I. - No mention is here made of the.amount of sin, but only of the fact.

The followers of Christopher Columbus found such large quantities of gold, in such large masses, that they thought they had (Rand the Eldorado. A labouring man or a sailor sometimes found as much in a day as was worth £2JO. Gold is found in great abundance between the tropics. All regions nevertheless contain it, and it is probable that mountains contain considerable quantities of it, and that it is washed down into the rivers by rain. We receive annually 4000 ounces Of gold dust from Africa, which is separated from the sand of the rivers flavving. through 'that'country: Great quantities of gold are found in the sand of the river Aranos; the collection of which affords employment to 70(10fsmilies. The - current of one of the tiverssin-Brazif was turned fin' the purpose of extracting the gold from its sandy - bottom 'Many of - the European rivers contain particles of gold amongst their sands ; amongst these are the Rhine, the Rhone:The Danube, the Tagus, the Elbe, the Oder, and the Schwaritz.

When the particles Of gold are separated from the sand they are found perfectly sameth, as if abraded by the action of the sand and water. Now those who collect the gold keep the sand containing it in pereethal agitation in a vessel beneath the surface of the water, by which means the gold sinks to the bottoM by its greater gravity. They continue this process until they think a quantity of geld has accumulated at time button of their vessel, when they pick out its minute leit•ti des For commercial purposes this process is pursued on a larger scale, anti mercury' emoloved faetlie'intrpose of forming `an amalgam with the gold.

When silver is allayed with gold the mode of separation is that described in the previous lecture. Thit process is celled quartation. In modern times another made is resorted to. The alloy Containing silver is rolled lulu sheets, and pl ace d in nittic acid. Thenitric acid Will dissolYe 'the sliver but not the gold. - The mode of redueifig it from ore - in the South Ainet.iviii mines is, first to stamp it into a coarse :powder, in staniping drills. The p mdet is then placed upon an inclined plane with ledges, covered with sheep skins, or some :other fibrous - material.. A stream of water its permitted to flow upon • this inclined plane, h carries away gradually the lighter .portions of the ere. The Ortieles of gold and other inetals, being so much heavier „than the matrix, are kept to gether by' the fibres of't lre - stidefa 4 Atiiis, Which have a remarkable teneeity in keeping•these partieleS - of gold.

'We then have the heaviest known metal but one, dissolved in the lightest known fluid but one. By evaporating the ether we have perfectly 'pure gold. This etherial solution of gold was formerly employed in medicine ; and supposed to be a panacea for all kinds of diseases, in fact it was considered equal to 'garrison's pills. But it is no wonder, because the physician compelled the patient to furnish him with the gold to -dissolve, a tittle of which probably was returned to the patient in the medicinal state. Our physicians, however,- in these days man - age matters much better:—they never profess to cure any n p atient by returning any po r ti on o f go ld.

Lancets, pen-knives, swords, and other bright steel instruments may, - in this manner, be protected from the weather. Pure gold is too soft for our doMeitic purposes, and there fore it becomes necessary to. alloy it with somethitig to make it hard. Copper is chiefly used for this purpose, especially at the anint r In estim klieg the purity: ot gold the term carat is ein ployecl; every portion of gold is supposed to be divided into_ tarots'-four parts, and each of these is called a carat; if the - alloy vontain eighteen parts gold and six ailov, it is called go!d eighteen c,r.its fine.

Such is the ,skill and dexterity which these workmen possess by their, continual practice that 'they seldom err.

LOSS AND i.q;:coyEß y OF A BANKER'S PARCEL: Some accounts were lately published relating to the loss of a parcel belonging to the Northern. and Central Bank of Eng land, whir' were, in many important particulars, erroneous. The following• statement will be found to be correct On Tuesday morning, the sth instant, Mr. Evans, the ma nager of the head office in Manchester, arrived in town by mail, having with him a parcel containing about £96,(X10 in good bills, I:5,000 in Bank of England notes, £4OO in the notes of country bankers, and E,10,(1(X) in American and other securities. The parcel was placed in a crimson bag and locked. The bag Mr. Evans took with hint in a cab from the new Post-office to St. Paul's Coffee-house. The bag, with its contents, was lost, but the loss was fortunately discovered before daylight, and was im mediately made known to Mr. Braidley, one of the director s , who happened at the time to be in London. Ininn!Oiate steps were taken by Mr. Braidley and Mr. Evans to recover the pro perty; their first efforts,' however, were unavailing - , and Forres ter, was consulted. Mr. Braidley and Mr. Evans thought of offering a high'reward for the recovery of the parcel; but, by the judicious advice of Forrester, it was determined to offer try handbill a reward of £lO imly for the delivery' of a crimson hair, describing it, and the manner of its being lost, at St. Paul's Coffee-house, no mention of banker's parcel or banker's office, or any idea of the value of the parcel being given. The b ug was found by the horsekeeper, in the stable-yard, some hours titer the citionao had.put up his horse, and gone to bed, his duty being night•wmk; arid it was thrown by the finder under souse stray; ii a vacant stall. When the cabman went-to take out hislot se again, the horsekeeper told hint of the booty, and they together determined to keep the bag the three days allowed by law, and then, if no reward was offered, to take it to Somerset House.

I have seen it at New York, at Boston, at Baltitnore, and at the head-quarters of republicanism. I have seen `free citizens.' as they caß themselves, carried to the poll, en dingx ,,, i with brandy and opium, that they knew no more of the candidate than of the man in the moon : that they could no more speak English than one of the UnknownTougues,' and n o more walk, than if they h4d'been born without legs : I have seen such fellows actually carried in omen's erms to the htfstinos I have seen the balloting ticket put into their hands when they could-nut dictinguish black 'ruin white: I have seen the ticket:a of a Particular eandidat4 potred'out in heaps upon the voters, and ecelv MAW , ' vfite a 5 nwill known in this way beforehand as if-it hod 'been pulOished lkthe common crier. ,L u st : before I left America, I was at ille-ihdadeltihin election. rhe Whole city was in from on:?, wad to tlre,other ; inouts peaaided the .Itreets, 111 Ut (le( to every mine.; awl. this was no elialice`q , arrMokk e inob were reg,olatlY set in motion h r the e ommittecq. ;- k ,i,hens firing in: streets., siiw to !;r a! committee -hooe the Li r storm Iti +l were beaten off and that. with nil of c .1.,;(041 . 11iji,,,w 4 s none Of 'your child: S play of bo,„4„,ui, f 1!g,414, .61.0 on iiirair of bullet and.bayonet.

M.lny tolescrible ac cidents have arisen from this circumstance. Oue of these came under Mr. Hen - lining's notice. A'geffileutan recently imported from The sister isle, attended 'a hajr-dresser, an.l s when the journeynriu was performing his important office, enquired of him whether he had not.some substance which wuum dis ch:lrge the. colour, of his fiery-red whiskers: He 'replied Chet he had, and procured' it trout his employer. llis employer asked whether he knew 'hoe to app.y it, and was answered in the affirmative. Thi s man was ale.' it initive of tl.e sister isle. A.little time after wards the hair - dresserouserved-therthe ildll , lS of his assistant were of adeep black, oud upon enquiry.: he ascer tained that the matt had applied the dye with i his hauds,tii the gentlemaC s whiskers, lit short time th e gentleman. returned in •a dreadful plight, his whiskers were, it is true, of a jet black, but as the man had touched his face as well as his whiskers with the-dye, he presented a - piebald appearance. He fiat eely enquired what would remove the blackness,—the hair dres.ier answered that lie knew of nothing that would remove it, and th4e is on'y one Manner of doing it, by means of patience and pumice stone. The gentlemau threatened an action at law at the time, tint his wreath subsided, as the skin wore away. However skilfully this dye, whether called Tyrian dye, or by any of its 21) Greek names, is applied it wilt only change the colour of the existing hair, and - if not continually used, the roots are continually sprouting of the original red colimr. The oxide of silver is employed as usefully as the Tyrian dye t communicate a red - stain to glass. Immense quantities of this Fglass are coloured in this manner in London, and almost always or the purpose of ornamenting those splendid receptacles of vice, and disease, the London Gin Palaces, and of glazing the flaming lamps which they suspend over the door. To analyze silver a very simple process may be resorted to, when the ore or alloy containing it is dissolved in nitric acid. by adding a solution of chloride of sodium or C0111111, , 11 salt, the. silver will be precipitated as chloride of silver. Now nitrate of silver is so exceedingly delicate a test for the presence of 'salt, that if a finger be dipped into a solution of it a white precipitate will be formed around the finger. This arises from the perspiration from the skin containing a small portion of common salt. We must use some precaution in testing silver with chloride of sodium, because a leaden solution will present the same appearance, but if we add nitric acid to the solution. it will be dissolved, which will not be the case with chloride of silver. Liquid ammonia will, however, dissolve it. As a col lateral test. we may apply the solution of the chromate of potass Which will give us a very beautiful crimson precipitate, and as a collateral test fur the presence of gold, we may apply a solu tion of the protomuriate of lin, which gives a purple precipitate called the purple powder of Cassius, which is used in commit eicating a purple colour to glass. Silver, like gold, is too soft to be generally used by itself. 1: is therefore alloyed.. The standard alloy of Great Ilritain is 12 1-3 silver, and 1 copper, for domestic articles, bot die a on of coin is II oz 2 dwt. of silver, and 18 dm. copper, net of which 66 shill i ng s are fabricated. The recess of assaYiee silver is like that of gold by cupellation. Numerous articles are gilt or silvered to protect them from the atmosphere, nr give them a mole be.iutiful appearance. The general mode of gilding brass is by way of. amalgamation. All articles of brass, as the interior works of watches, are covered , with solution nitrate of mercury,- after which they are immersed in - a solution • of girld, which forms an amalgam with the mercury, and the • mercury is driveu off I.y heat.

It is directed tnthe Earl of Burlington, as Chan cellor, Mr. Lubbock, as Vice Chancellor, tad :-36 or :37 other persons of v a rious tanks and occupations, prat tisin g b arr i s t ers , and practising physicians, a Master in Chancery, and a Captain in the Royal Navy, Members of Parliament, snit Fellows of the Royal Society, the Sorgeon-General in Ireland, Lord Brougham, IWO Whig Bishops, and half a dozen unknoen private gentle men. These are to.constitute the corpus of the University, and any six of them are to confer degrees upon t twit own exami nation by persons whom they shall appoint. The single quati &whin discoverable. M the Peliows of the new-establishment is, that they ate all Whigs,—and tltjs is natural enough ; for it ap peais by the terms of the charter, that the University is to be a mere appendage to the Treastiry, by which its members are to he appointed. and to which us accounts are to be annually sob witted, and just now the Whigs are in possession of the Tres- SUIT. . If any one ever : entertained a jealousy of this newfangled ,establishment, a glance at the charter must be quite sufficient to remove that unpleasant feeling. This charter otslinguishes the incorporated h i ody from every thing hearing the: twine or. a univeNty that, ever existed. l's degrees afford no test cif learning-110 proof of religious edueation—uu evidelice of.notral life and conversathin. - Its degrees afford no test of - learning, because the fellows and goveinors of the universi:v are into spinnitted at no Olin. to any literary examination.
