The secretary stated that 2,500 circulars were prepared for distribution, and recommended that 1,500 more should be issued. These contain directions to those who have any objects for exhi bition, and information to those who are willing to sub scribe to the funds. The circulars will be followed up by collectors, whO will wait on all the parties to whom they have been addressed. It appears that the few names which head the list of subscriptions amount to upwards of £5OO, from which it is to be inferred that the amount col lected will ranch exceed the original expectations. Seve ral architects and scientific men have offered their gratui tous services for assisting to execute the great model. HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE. —The second meeting was held on Thursday, Thomas Moore, Esq., in the chair. Several new members were elected, including Albert Way, Esq., of the Archaeologi cal Institute, as well as Mr. Crossley, the president, and Dr. Fleming, the secretary of the Cheetham Society, Manchester. The articles presented and exhibited were numerous and varied in character. The whole collection of flint arrowheads, stone axes and hammers, celts, &c., was presented to the society by William Bragge, Esq. The curious Hoylake anchor, with its immense incrusta tion of sand, &c., was also presented by Benjamin Hornby, Esq. ; but, from its great weight. could not be produced on that occasion. Two journal papers were read, and one brief memoir ; also an account of some oc currences in the neighbourhood of Warrington, in 1745, by William Beaumont, Esq ; observations on an old tilting ground still existing at Eastworth, in Cheshire, and an appendix to his late paper on the Scottish kirks, by Dr. Thom. WALLASEY COMMISSIONERS. — The monthly meeting was held on Thursday. The law-clerk was instructed to take counsel's opinion as to the power of the commis sioners relative to an objection made by Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Crook, to pay towards the construction of a sewer at Seacombe.—A letter was read from the secretary to the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners, requesting the commissioners to co-operate with them in a memorial to the dock trustees, praying an extension of the time for opening the docks, in order to meet the views of the frontagers. Agreed to.—A letter was read from Mr. W. R. Colborn, requesting the commissioners to reim burse him the expenses he had incurred in repairing the road at the south end of Egremont ferry, which was damaged during the storm in January last. It appeared there had been some arrangement as to repairs at the ferry ; but the point at issue was, whether the road in question was in such a state that it could be adopted by the commissioners. The amount claimed by Mr. Col born was £lOO 14s. Bd. It was decided that the applica tion could not be entertained, as the road was not under the jurisdiction of the commissioners. DOCK Commirree.—At the meeting of this committee, on Thursday, the sub-committee of the marine depart ment reported that on the 26th instant the schooner Planet, of Preston, ran foul of the Formby Light-ship, breaking one of the chains, and doing other damage. The men on board the schooner were drunk, and ran her ashore near Formby Point. A claim for the damage was ordered to be made under the direction of the solicitor. — The tenders of Messrs. Silver and Co., for clothes, and J. J. Taylor, for hats, for the dock gatemen, were ac cepted —The Marine Surveyor reported that accommoda tion for discharging the lighters from the large American steamer, expected to arrive next week, might be pro vided, if the committee would order the depot of the west side of Waterloo Dock to be kept clear. Agreed to. An application from Mr. J. Mather, St. Paul's-square, to erect a camera obscura at the north end of the Prince's parade, was granted on condition that it should be re moved when required.—A memorial was sent from a number of master-porters relative to the proposed altera tions in the system of porterage on the dock-quays, which they consider will be prejudicial to their interests. They propose that the largest consignee, or the party pay ing the greatest amount of freight, whether licensed or not, should nominate the master porter, a system which would not injuriously affect the interests either of the master porter, the dock estate, or the operative. The memorial was referred. HEALTH COMMITTEE.—A this meeting, on Thursday, the chairman called attention to the remarks made by Mr. Fernihough in the council on Wednesday, relative to the arrangements which he (the chairman) had made for the reduction of the charges at the Pierhead baths. He intimated that if the reduction caused any loss to the corporate estate, he would hold himself responsible for it, besides which he would pay for the advertisements inserted in the newspapers.—Mr. Fernihough explained that he had no personal feeling in the matter; he had merely exercised his right of remarking on the impropriety of a chairman giving orders without the sanction of the com mittee ; it was merely an inadvertence.—The medical officer reported that the mortality of the borough during the last week was lower than in any week previously recorded, the deaths registered being 125 against 159 in the previous week, and 223 in the corresponding week of 1849. The deaths in the parish were 95 ; the lowest number previously recorded being 101, and the average mortality nearly 169. In the extra-parochial wards the deaths were 30, 14 of which were in Toxteth-park, the lowest number of any previous week being 16, and the average upwards of 30. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 25 ; diseases of the lungs, 45, against 51 in the pre vious week, and 78 in the corresponding week of last year. The mean temperature of the weather was 48k, being two degrees below that of the previous week, and three quarters of a degree higher than the average of the four preceding years. The mean of the barometer was 30in. 2-10ths above average.—Mr. Duncan said that the town was never in such a healthy condition since the registration act came into operation, which was nearly 13 years ago.—An application from Mr. J. Lawrence, for a sewer in Sparling-street, was referred to the borough engineer to report upon. SELECT VESTRY.—The fortnightly meeting of this body was held on Tuesday, the Rev. Rector Campbell in the chair. After a short discussion relative to a statement made by Mr. Miller at the last meeting, Mr. Brown ex plained the reasons why he withdrew his resignation as one of the overseers.—The proceedings of the Industrial School Committee included the resignation of Mr. and Mrs. Evans, master and mistress of the infant school, which was accepted by the committee. Confirmed.—The proceeding of the Medical Relief Committee having been read, Mr. Abraham said, that, as a variety of statements had latterly been made as to the amount paid to the medical officers during the past few years, he begged to lay before the board some returns. For the year ending March, 1849, the cost to the parish in out-door relief was £3,519 7s. Bd., inclusive of vaccination ; and for the year ending March, 1850, which, it must be remembered, was the cholera year, the total amount of all kinds of medical relief was £5,605 lls. 3d. According to these two re turns, which were based exactly on the same calculations, the increased expenditure for the past year over 1849, was £2,086 3s. 7d. Now, he thought that any one who would consider this increase must say, that the funds of the parish, in affording medical relief during the time that the cholera was here, must have been expended with economy, or, in a town like Liverpool it could not pos sibly have been supplied for such a sum. He firmly believed that, if the Medical Relief Committee had not been sitting during that time, the expenditure would have been double or treble the amount it actually was. Mr. Dover said the Vestry ought to know what the medical staff actually cost us now. The cost during the past year was £7,304 Os. 9d., because the drawback of £1,363 15d. 3d. they had not yet received from the treasury, and the Vestry-clerk now told them that they were raising an objection to it, and, therefore, it might not perhaps be paid at all. Mr. Abraham moved for a return of medical relief in the parish during the last twelve years, distin guishing the manner in which it was applied, and also a return for the same period of out-door relief. The mo tion was carried, and the proceedings of the committee confirmed.—A letter from Mr. F. Cripps, as chairman of the medical officers, was next read. The letter complained of the annual allowance of £175 each, including the sup ply of medicines, which had been agreed upon at the last meeting of the board. It referred to a resolution agreed upon by the medical men, to the effect that they consi dered £2OO a-year would be a reasonable sum, and asked the Vestry to consider the subject.—The names of the ratepayers in Pitt-street Ward, excused their rates, were ordered to be supplied to the ratepayers' association of the ward.—Mr. Luff was appointed a member of the board, in place of Mr. Molyneux, appointed overseer by a majo rity of five over Mr. Knight. COUNCIL MEETING. The monthly meeting of the Town Council was held on Wednesday, the Mayor in the chair. Before the ordinary proceedings of the Council com menced, the Mayor read a telegraphic communication which he bad that morning received, announcing that her Majesty was safely delivered of a prince at twenty minutes past eight o'clock that morning. A letter was read from the Town-clerk, stating that in consequence of the present position of the Water Bill now before parliament, and having to attend a consulta tion with counsel, he was unable to attend the Council, and did not expect that he should be able to return to Liverpool until Thursday evening. After a few words from Mr. Hornby, complaining of the inconvenience of the Town-clerk's long absences from Liverpool, the matter dropped. FINANCE COMMITTEE.-BIRKENHEAD FERRY. The proceedings of this committee comprised—a re commendation to grant to Daniel Crosthwaite and Eliza his wife, in fee-simple, certain freehold premises, escheated to the Corporation, in Scotland-place and Hodson-street, on certain terms and conditions—and a recommendation for letting Birkenhead Ferry, and the three steam vessels used therewith, to Mr. Dale, for fifteen years, at an annual rental for the first five years of £450, the second five years at £650, and the third five years of £750. The proceedings also contained the new bye-laws for the regu lation of the hackney coaches. It involved a reduction of fares. After some opposition manifested by Mr. Parker, the recommendation of the committee in reference to the coaches was confirmed. Mr. HORNBY having moved the confirmation of that part of the proceedings referring to the letting of the Birkenhead Ferry, A long and exceedingly warm discussion took place on the proposition, in the course of which Mr. Thomson, Mr. Tobin, Mr. Bigham, Mr. Alderman Hodgson, Mr. Woodruff, and several other members of the Council, took part. Mr. TOBIN said, to show the absurdity of the proposed arrangement, he was prepared to say that one of the boats themselves might be let for other purposes for the sum of £6OO a year, and supposing the other two boats could be let for anything approaching to a similar sum, there would be £l,BOO a year at once, still leaving the ferry at the disposaLof the Corporation. Ultimately an amendment by Mr. Holt to refer the matter back to the Finance Committee, with a view of h making a better arrangement, was carried by a majority of 27 to 14, and: the rest of the proceedings were con firmed. erns liiiliCriiii s iliiiiiiiiith, The proceedings of the Water Committee were con firmed, including a Fire-police rate of a farthing in the pound. The Malttlts' Committee recommended the removal of the Pedlars' Market, and their proceedings were con firmed. On the proffedlngs of the Health Committee being read, Mr. l'Anictiti said he had the pleasing duty to pro pose a reduction of the local taxation. In doing so he assured the Council that the reductions were made upon the most authentic calculations. _ _ _ Mr. FERNIHOUGH and Mr. B. Moona complained of the reduction in the price at the Baths, at St. George's pier. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. PARKER defended the reduction, and the proceed ings were confirmed. Mr. PARKER then moved the adoption of the several paving, sewerage, water, and general rates for the year; total for Liverpool, ls. in the pound, against Is. sd. last year. The rates for the out townships were rather more. A protest from the Parochial Water Committee against the decision of the Council to go on with the Rivington scheme, in consequence of Mr. Stephenson's report, was read. The document is so very voluminous, being divided into 12 long sections, that we do not think the heads of it only, would—after all the discussion on the subject—be acceptable to our readers. Suffice it to say, it embraces all the objections to the Pike scheme which have so long been before the public • that it sets forth that the cost of the existing wells abandoned was £660,000 ' • the cost of Rivington works, £500,000, which with loss by the adoption of the Pike during a period of 23 years, £125,540, making a total in 23 years of £1,285,540. It contends that the decision of the Council is at variance with the facts, and is opposed to principle and sound po licy, and hence this protest. Another proteat on the same subject, and from the National Confederation, was also read. After stating a variety of arguments against the Pike scheme, it states that the present water rate will be inadequate to discharge the interest upon the present debt, and that which is to be contracted to an unlimited extent ; therefore it is self-evident that a borough rate to an unknown amount will be levied upon the inhabitants, and the owners of various descriptions of property who are not now assessed to the water rate, if the present bill in Parliament should pass. After a short discussion both memorials were received, and the Council adjourned to to-morrow (Wednesday.) BEARD'S COLOURED PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS ARE TAKEN DAILY, FROM NINE TILL SIX, AT MR.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ,—I take this means of ad dressing you in consequence of the difficulty of obtaining the correct address of many of those to whom my remarks are important. This I hope will be a sufficient reason for so doing. . . _ On my election as a member of the committee in 1849, I was surprised to find that the Liverpool Library had only an average amount of £33 per month, or about £396 per annum, to expend in the purchase of books, and following the course which I presume all men do, when they undertake a new office, I tried to make myself ac quainted with the resources of the institution. My ob ject in addressing you now is to draw your attention to the state of the income as I find it at present existing; and as I am convinced that few of .you can be fully ac quainted with it, I beg respectfullrto lay before you the following statistics. On the removal of the library from Lord-street to Bold-street in 1801, the number of proprietors was 893, with about 7,500 volumes of books, and the population of the borough was about 77,653. I find in 1850 there are 801 proprietors recorded on the books, with near 350,000 inhabitants in Liverpool, and 39,000 volumes of books. Thus, whilst the population of the town and the number of volumes have both increased in more than a fourfold degree, you will see that there are 92 shares fewer in 1850 than there were in 1801 ; and if we estimate (from family connection) an average of six readers to each share, the number of readers has been diminished more than five hundredand fifty. This hasbeen occasioned by the forfeited shares not having been resold. Now since the intellectual wants of the community are every day becoming greater, as the population increases, and a desire for knowledge is extending itself on every side, it does appear strange that the Liverpool Library should curtail its usefulness by reducing the number of readers ; and still stranger is it, that so much money as would be realised by the resale of the forfeited shares, should be allowed to remain idle, when the continually repeated answer to the recommendations for new books is that " there are not funds sufficient." And the remu neration of your librarian, after a faithful service of more than 35 years, is no more than is given by private indi viduals to their head warehouseman. That the prices of the shares are not quite so great as when the library was first founded I admit; but, surely, in 1850, no one would stand forward and say, that be cause there is a little reduction in the original price we will hold them, at a loss of both interest and annual sub scriptions until they increase in value. If sold at the present price of £8 or £9, they would realize £736 or £B2B ; and an annual subscription of £1 ss. would bring in £ll5 per annum, which would enable the committee to purchase the first year more than 3,000 volumes, and nearly 400 volumes annually afterwards. This would in crease the property of the shareholders in the value of the stock ; whereas the society has already lost more than £5OO at simple interest of money, by allowing the for feited shares to remain so long unsold ' • and for this there is, I believe, no precedent, as I find that in 1838, six shares were sold by the society, at the rate of £7 9s. 2d. each. _ _ _ . . . I would remind you that it is not my intention to in crease the number of shares. Nor need I point out to you that it is desirable to make the library as valuable for reference as possible, especially as there are many depart ments totally unrepresented, and others far short of coming up to the position which their literature occupies at the present day. There are other departments still, like the Great Desert, where the traveller has to wade through the dry sand of former times, without finding the cases which are known to exist at the present time.. I am aware that many object to the extension of know ledge; but surely there are few such, in an enlightened place like Liverpool, where the first public library was established. Where should knowledge be more cultivated than in our town, which sends her ships to all parts of the world, and whose merchants are pre-eminent for their enterprize, and the arts of civilization which they carry with them wherever they go ? Then let me earnestly beg of you to consider no more the gaining of 20s. or 40s. by the rise, or loss of so much by the fall in the price of a share in the library • but let the public see that you are willing to make a slight nomi nal sacrifice to obtain a real good. You can direct your committee, at the annual meeting to be held in a few days, to use their utmost endeavours to induce the sale of the ninety-two shares at their fair market price, and with the proceeds to purchase such valuable books as may be out:of the reach of private individuals. You will thus enhance the value of your prop rty and benefit society at large. I have the honour to be, ladies and gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH MAYER. Lord-street, May 6th, 1850. TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. F. A. POWER• A meeting of members of the congregation under the pastoral charge of the Rev. F. A. Power, of the Bebington district, was held ChT Thursday evening, at the Church of England North Schonfi Bend street, to present a suit of robes and an address to their minister, as a testimonial of their affection and high estimation el his indefatigable zeal and important usefulness. The rev. gentleman, on entering the room, was received with hearty cheering. The robes were laid on a large table covered with a white cloth, and at the side was hung the address, which is beautifully written and framed. Mr. COLLZY opened the prcceedings with a few brief observations, and called upon Mr. Clark to read the address. _ _ Mr. CLARK stated that the robes had been made by Messrs. C. and 3. Vintner, of Cambridge, and were of the very best quality—a proof of the generous subscrip tion of that small and humble congregation. Mr. C. then proceeded to read the following affecting address : " Rev. Sir,—We, the members of the congregation who have assembled for worship under your ministration, in the School-room, Bond-street, deEke to give utterance to our feel ings of gratitude to you. " First,—For the faithfulness and zeal which you have inva riably displayed in expounding to us the saving truths of the Gospel of Christ, and preaching to us, we trust effectually, the truth as it is in Jesus. . "econcliy2-1 , 4;;;Our unremitting anxiety for the welfare of the immortal souls of those whom it pleased the Almighty dis poser of events to afflict in the late awful visitation of cholera, and we fervently pray that your kind and undaunted visits to the bedsides of those sufferers may not lose their reward, but yield you an eternal recompense. " Thirdly—For the kindness and patience you evinced in the examination and instruction of those candidates for confirma tion who were under your care, and we trust that your instructions may net have been bestowed in vain ; but that those who then confirmed their covenant with God may, by His grace, be enabled to continue His faithful soldiers and servants to their lives end.' _ _ " Fourthly,—For your care and assiduity in behalf of those children who assemble for instruction under your superinten dence in the North Church of England School, and we earnestly hope that the principles of religion and virtue which are there inculcated may guide the recipients safely through this life, and finally, by the mercy of God, obtain for them eternal feli city in the life to come. . _ a In conclusion, we beg your kind acceptance of the accom panying suit of robes, as a mark of our esteem and gratitude. We fervently pray that you may long be spared to minister to us in holy things, and that when called hence you may be clothed in the everlasting robe of righteousness which Christ has prepared for his faithful followers, and be welcomed into his everlasting habitations. by the joyful sound—' Well done, good and faithful servant 1 Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.' " The Rev. F. A. POWER then rose and said,— "My dear Friends,—lreceive with the warmest thankfulness this token of your esteem, and of what ye are pleased to call your gratitude, and assure you that I consider your gift as a most generous effort to do me honour, of which, I must, in all sincerity, consider myself unworthy. Had it pleased Provi dence to bless you all with abundance of this world's goods, your gift would have been to me a pleasing token of your esteem ; but when I think that ye have abounded in liberality even beyond your ability, I can never cease to regard your kind token as one of the most valuable things this world can bestow upon me. " Ye have added to the gift another mark of your esteem, in my mind not less valuable than the first token of your kind ness. Ye have presented to me an address expressive of your gratitude for the performance of my duties as your minister; and ye have declared the gift to be a token of your feelings, arising from your knowledge of my life and conversation amongst you. lam fully sensible of the kindness and gene rosity of this conduct towards me, and beg to assure you that I receive your address as a most cheering encouragement to go onward in that course which has afforded you satisfaction—at the same time remembering that I must always consider myself an unprofitable servant, having done only what was my duty to do, if, perhaps, I may have attained even unto that. " I feel, and I have ever felt, and, by God's grace, I hope always to feel, that the great business of my life, as a minister of the Gospel of Christ, is to sow 'the incorruptible seed' of God's word, by which ' we are born again.' and to declare that truth in Jesus' by which we are 'sanctified.' If I have preached amongst you, on my part, with faithfulness and zeal,' and on your part effectually,' it is an abundant reward for my labour, for which thanks are due only to that God who can give the increase.' " The late visitation of the Almighty, when it pleased Him to afflict our country and our neighbourhood with cholera, can never be forgotten by any of you who witnessed it. We learned, by the awful scenes rapidly passing before us, the meaning of the words Be ye ready also, for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh.' As God gave me fortitude in that trying season. I hope I used it for His glory, and went into those scenes of His wrath with the confidence that He sent me with a message of mercy and consolation, that the bones which he had broken might rejoice.' Ido re lieve some felt that prayer was heard, and their lives were spared ; whilst others rejoiced in a felt salvation as the answer of prayer, and died in hope of eternal life. The consciousness of being the instrument of good sustained me in the perfor mance of my duty, until it pleased God to withdraw His chastening band from our neighbourhood. I feel sow fresh gratitude to God that we are spared to call to remembrance that awful season of His wrath, and to thank Him for His mercy toward us. _ _ " The pleasing duty of meeting candidates for confirmation has devolved upon me once since I came amongst you. I re member what happiness I felt last year in the performance of this part of my ministry, from the steady attention of all the young people who came to me as candidates, as well as from the serious and devout conduct manifested by them all. I pray that they may continue safely in the ark of Christ's Church, and sail over the waves of this troublesome world without shipwreck of faith, and finally ' have an entrance ministered unto them abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.' " The North Church of England Schools have been included in the Bevington district ; and it has been my duty, as the minister of the district, to visit them. Their importance was impressed on me as soon as I saw them. I very soon felt an interest in them proportioned to their importance, and deter mined to devote no inconsiderable portion of my time and strength not merely to visiting the schools, but to the religious instruction of the senior classes of the children. I hope I may say that 1 have never, knowingly or willingly, shrunk from the duty which I felt I ought to assign myself. lam certain that I have enjoyed great pleasure whilst endeavouring to instruct the children • and I say with much feeling that I am very happy when I reflect upon the success of some of those chil dren ; and witness the industry with which some of them, now apprentices in the school, strive to improve their own minds and teach the classes to which they may be appointed. Nor shall I fail to state that my belief that all the teachers in these schools are concerned for their own and for the chil dren's spiritual welfare, affords me very great happiness. May the blessing of God rest upon the instruction. "Four years liave now nearly rolled away since I commenced my public ministry amongst you. I shall not dwell upon the disadvantages of my position. You know them full well. Some of you have, from the very first, attended divine service in the licensed school-room in which I have ministered, and most of you have attended regularly for some years past. I am cheered by the remembrance of your constancy and stead fastness. Nor can Ibe ashamed to confess that your perseve ring attendance on my ministry has encouraged me amidst the otherwise cheerless scene in which I found myself placed, when our blessed Lord himself derived consolation from a similar source, saying to his apostles, " Ye are they which have conti nued with me in my temptations." " I thank you for your prayer that I may spend many years with you in Christ's kingdom on earth, and that I may wear the robe of righteousness in his eternal kingdom in heaven. We are fellow-travellers to the eternal inheritance in heaven which the precious blood of Christ has purchased for us. Our faith is in God and in his son Jesus Christ. And we hope that " the end of our faith—the salvation of our souls''—may be our portion. Let our prayers be mutual. May the minister pray for the salvation of the souls of his people ; and may the people pray for the salvation of the soul of their minister. The God that heareth prayer will answer, and bless us with the fulness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.' May our lot on earth be with the people of God ; and may the God of all grace' number us with his saints in glory everlasting.' After the doxology had been sung, and the benediction pronounced, the meeting separated. 13i5trirt Robert Rawlinson has been appointed engineer for ob taining a supply of water for Lancaster. Mr. Robinson, saddler, of Blackburn, died on Sunday week in the parish church there, while seated in his pew with his family. A verdict of manslaughter has been retuned against a man named Walmsley, at Brindle, for killing an elderly man named Worsley, whom he kicked and abused during a quarrel. TARVIN HALL ScHooL.—Mr. Moreton, the gentleman who has just obtained a Scholarship at St. Thomas's Hospital, Wells, was educated at Tarvin Hall, where he considerably distinguished himself. A young woman, named Hartley, living at Bacup, has poisoned herself under rather mysterious circumstances. A young man, whom she was expected to marry, has been apprehended, but released. The deceased would have been confined in about two months. A MAIDEN SESSlON.—Saturday last was the day fixed for the holding of Walton-le-Dale Petty Session, but as there were neither prisoners nor complainants there was no need for the attendance of the magistrates. This speaks well for the inhabitants of that district, as it is the second time in a very short period that this has happened. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. — The amount collected at Christ Church, Salford, on Sunday week, after two ser mons by the Rev. Canon Stowell, in support of the daily and Sunday schools connected with that church, was up wards of £32B—one of the largest collections ever made for educational purposes, furnishing substantial proof that the advocates of scriptural education are men of deeds as well as of words. _ _ _ _ DEATH FROM " PUNCHING."—On Monday the 22nd ult. some boys in the employ of Joseph Ellor and Co., of Manchester, were playing in the warehouse with a jobbing packer, named William Parry, also employed there. One of the boys, named Augustus Poole, while playing hap pened to kick Parry, who turned round and retaliated by kicking him violently in the belly. Poole fell, and be came so ill that he died two days subsequently. Parry has been committed for manslaughter. A TEMPTING OFFER.—The following singular adver tisement appeared in the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday week :—A middle-aged gentleman, of 40, whose family includes one earl, two baronets, one bishop, and a dozen beneficed clergymen, possessing a small for tune of £lOOO, also a university and medical education, with the accomplishment of music (which he also com poses), wishes most ardently to meet with a lady who would accept the entire devotion of his hand and heart. The lady's age under 50, with the education and manners of a gentlewoman, and either a fortune or industry suffi cient for her support. N.B. He is bald, but will wear a wig if the lady wishes. Address T.S.G., post-office, Manchester." COUNTY TREASURER.—On Thursday, the adjourned annual sessions for the county of Lancaster was held at the Court-house, Preston, for the purpose of electing a treasurer for the county in the place of Mr. A. Hutton. The following were candidates for the office :—Mr. H. Jennings, of Preston ; Messrs. Moore Wilson, and W. Metcalf, of Manchester ; D. Chadwick, of Salford ; Messrs. C. Andrew, and R. Wright, of Manchester; Mr. Hoyle, of Blackburn, and Mr. Bushell, of Preston. Mr. Aston, who at first offered himself, subsequently withdrew from the contest. Before proceeding with the election of treasurer, reference was made to the bills be fore Parlia ment, which proposed to interfere with the other business at present transacted by the magistrates, and a committee was appointed to proceed to London and watch the bill. The magistrates then proceeded to the election of a trea surer. Mr. Moore Wilson, of Manchester, was duly elected. The salary attached to the office is £5OO per annum, and t e treasurer find* sureties i n £lO,OOO. HYAM'S ESTABLISHMENT, LIVERPOOL, IS AT 63, LORD-STREET.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE WEST OF IRE LAND AND HALIFAX. The Dublin Evening Mail of Friday expresses much delight in announcing that (in furtherance of the hopes expressed in that paper), steam communication is forth with to be established between Galway, on the west coast of Ireland, and New York, the vessel calling at Halifax. It will be remembered that, over some years past, various parties have suggested that the most direct starting places or ports for steamers crossing the Atlantic were to be found on the west coast of Ireland, where there are several good natural harbours ; and Valencia was strongly pointed out by one writer as the most eligible, from which to make a commencement, but his proposition was not taken up. The plan, as far as regarded passengers or goods from England or Scotland, involved, of course, the expense of transit—partly by sea and partly by land—from the seve ral localities here to the starting port in Ireland ; but it was argued that this would not amount to much, espe cially when once the Irish railways were completed ; and that even the mails to or from America might be accele rated to some extent, by the overland route,—our large steamers (to or from Liverpool, to wit) having upwards of 300 miles to navigate up or down channel, before they reach, or arrive from, even Cape Clear. Unquestionably the nearest points between this kingdom and America are to be found on the west coast of Ireland ; but a ques tion arises whether the cost of transit of the mass of pas sengers which would be from Great Britain, and the in convenience of transhipping luggage, &c., and moving from rail to steam boat, and again from steam boat to rail, would not countervail the gain in time of a few hours upon the entire trip, hence—for instance—to New York. By embarking here at once, and making the whole trip in one ship, such inconvenience is avoided. In the convey ance of important telegraphic dispatches, there would certainly be a great gain in time, as the wires might be employed to Dublin, and the messages be thence imme diately sent by steam to Holyhead, and thence by wire to London and Liverpool. We do not, for the reasons stated (and others which we need not enter into), apprehend any injury to our large Liverpool steam fleet from the project being carried out even on a large scale, and there can be no doubt but that Ireland would be benefitted by increased communication with, and perhaps accession of capital to, her western and generally rude shores. The Viceroy, a fine iron paddle steam-ship, of 800 tons burthen, and 350 horse power, has, it appears, recently made a very rapid voyage from Dublin to Glasgow and back, so establishing her name for speed and safety, that her owners have advertised her to rum between Galway and New York, calling at Halifax, and to sail on the first of next month. The fare to either of the ports named is £25. She will receive only first cabin passengers, for whom she has superb accommodations; and the announce ment adds that passengers will be conveyed free from Glasgow, Liverpool, Belfast, Bristol, and Dublin, to the port of embarkation. A few tons of fine goods will be re ceived as freights, and each. passenger may carry half a ton of luggage. The Mail considers that Dublin will be greatly bene fitted by the success mfi this first experiment,. and calls upon her citizens to farward.and.to,aid HYAM'S DRESS COATS MADE TO MEASURE.

INFLUENCE OF PROTESTANT EDUCATION ON THE SOCIAL CONDITION OF ENGLAND. On Tuesday evening, the Rev. D. James delivered lecture on the above subject, being the first in connection with the recently formed Church of England Institution. Alderman E. Molyneux presided, and there was an ex cellent attendance. The following is a portion of the reverend gentleman's remarks : If we looked at the condition of savages in a country where education was unknown, we found great intellect evinced in conjunction with warm feeling and the lively sensations, nevertheless, the savage,— because he h a d no t been instructed to look beyond the sphere in which he moved,—was accustomed to value everything that came under his immediate notice as of paramount importance. That which gave him pleasure was the most valuable thing in the world, and he repulsed with every effort of his mind, and of his energy of body, that which was likely to inflict upon him pain. This accounted for the fact that there was a great strength of feeling amongst savages, both of the benevolent and malevolent kind. But let education come to an individual like this, and by dividing the attention of the mind between the different subjects presented to his notice, he was taught at once to consider the relative value of things in the world, and to consider the general bearing of events and circumstances, and their relation on the welfare of the community, and on the world at large : and, though these things divided his attention, his own enjoyment, on the aggregate, was greatly increased, whilst by the division of his attentiott his attachment to any one subject was in the same ratio diminished, so that his judgment became calm, and his passions subject to the sway of reason. (Hear, hear (i This was the advantage now secured to the inhabitants of every country where education was carried forward on sound and wholesome principles. Children might be con sidered as resembling savages very much when a subject is first brought under their notice. With children every thing was new, everything called forth their strongest emotions; but as the progress of education advanced the little philosopher became capable of judging of the rela tive value of things. He rejected trifles and retained those things which were calculated to do him good and benefit his fellow-creatures. In discussing the subject further, we were to consider what were the great elements of education. The great elements of education were three—politics, literature, and religion. He was only anxious at the present time to consider the question whe ther the education of children should be conducted on the ground of literature, without a mixture of religion. It was one of the questions of the day whether education should be without religion, and should only embrace li terature in its widest range. There were two classes who advocated this idea and this measure. The first, and by far the largest class, consisted of individuals who had never felt the value of religion, who had never gathered the sweet fruit of religious education, and therefore knew nothing of it. There was another class of the community who were advocates of national education, without re ligion, who professed to be religious themselves, who pro fessed to be advocates of Christianity. who professed to believe that Christianity was divine, but whose envy of the established religion of England, and hatred to it, was far beyond their love of truth; and, therefore, they were determined to set their faces against everything that was likely to keep the Church establishment in its present position, and retain its stronghold on the English mind. If they asked these gentlemen who advocated education without religion, if they thought that education without religion had at all the aspect of infidelity ? they shrunk with horror from the charge, and said, no such thing ; and yet, if they argued the question closely, and looked into it as it ought to be looked into, they would arrive at the conclusion that it was a kind of modified infidelity to say the least of it, and led to infidel results. (Applause.) The rev. gentleman proceeded to contend that putting religion aside and passing it by had an infidel tendency, and was expressly condemned by the Word of revealed Truth. They ought, therefore, to be careful how they should lis ten to such arguments or such sentiments as these, when advocated in favour of education based on literature, and from which religion was to be excluded. He was anxious also to skew that the influence of education without reli gion was likely to prove injurious, inasmuch as it would lead people to measure every advantage likely to be de rived from their education by the extent of benefit likely to arise in this world, without looking beyond the present scene into that future existence to which every man was heir. If man was to be considered simply as an inhabi tant of the world, and not en heir to immortality, then it might be right to give him all the advantages which would render him useful in this world ; but if man was to be considered only as a pilgrim on the road, passing on to a better world, where he should live for ever, it was quite clear his education ought to take in those momentous truths which were calculated to improve him for the world to come, as well as to render him a useful member of so ciety. They were well aware that literature could not of fer these advantages. Literature enlightened the under standing, and gave a wide range of knowledge; but reli gion alone removed his guilt, purified his heart, elevated his thoughts, and removed those principles which were in herent to man's fallen condition. They saw by this that education assumed a very important aspect indeed, and, therefore, ought never to be without a mixture of religion. The question next arose, what form of religious instruc tion should be even to children ? Were they prepared to go back to the superstitious system of popery ; to the pes tiferous marshes of Italy, instead of drinking from the limpid streams of their own mountains? (No, no!) There was a time when England was subject to the sway of Rome. There was a time when the religion of England was Roman Catholic, and those were times of affliction, when England was struggling with difficulties, and was unable to shake off the trammels and chains which had been thrown round her by a foreign potentate ; but, when the Reformation came, the strong man armed broke in England the chains of superstition, and freed the land from captivity. England was liberated from the thral dom of spiritual captivity, and from that moment to the present had England gone on rising in the scale of civili zation and of nations, extending in empire, increasing in power, increasing the happiness of her people, and relax ing those laws which were considered hard and grinding. and introducing amongst all the fullest enjoyment of civil, social, and religious liberty, in order that England might for ever be free. (Great applause.) The rev. gentleman then instituted a comparison between the con dition of the Protestant and Catholic states of the world ; in the one the condition of the inhabitants was prosperous and happy, in the other miserable and degraded ; and attributed the prosperity of the people of Protestant countries to the influence of their religion, and argued from this that the high social condition of the people of England was attributable to the influence of Protestant education and the Protestant religion. It was in the Protestant religion they found the greatest comfort and the noblest prosperity ; it was in the Protestant religion they found the truth of God brought home to the con- Bei ence, the heart, the understanding, the soul, the will ; and it was in this proof that they found there was a road. to eternal life, that life which they all hoped to enjoy when they had done with the present. (Great applause.) During the delivery of the lecture, the reverend gen tleman had an attack of illness, which compelled him to take a seat for a few minutes ; but owing to the painful sensation under which he laboured the matter of the lec ture was rather disarranged. A vote of thanks to the lecturer and to the chairman were then passed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Jane Powell was fined 20s. and costs, on Tuesday, for exposing for sale, in St. John's Market, a quantity of unwholesome mackerel and plaice.
