After stating a number of very interesting details regarding the nature of the operations, and the success of the society, he con cluded by making an ardent and eloquent appeal to the people of Liverpool on behalf of the society. The Rev. 11. HAMPTON proposed the next resolution, and gave a statement of the great and beneficial effects which had flowed to his parish from the assistance he had received from the Pastoral Aid Society. In consequence of the exertions of that society his congregation had been increased to a considerable extent. In fact, he had been forced to have increased accommodation to the amount of 400 sittings in his church. (Applause.) As the resolu tion was one for the appointment of the officers of the society, he would merely propose it, and leave it to be_ spoken to by the gentleman who was to succeed him The Rev. J. N G. ARMYTAGZI (one gf the dePutation) next addressed the meeting in a very lucid and forcible speech, which was listened to throughout with the most rkee mar. attentim, ie concluded by seconding the reso lution. The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously voted to the Chairman, and the meeting- was closed with suitable prayers. in the course of theevening a collection was taken up, which was liberally eoatributed to.

The London mbney market during thwweek has been affected by the announcement, by Lord John Russell, of his measures for the relief of the existing: destitution in Ireland, and the nOW-astertained eertaintythat a large amount of specie will be drawn out of the country to pay for our imports of bread stuffs. For Ireland,. seven mil lions is estimated as - the amount likely to he - required ; bat that which will have to , go towards the 'payment of foreign grain is not' so easily estimated. The Prince Albert, New York liner; from Portsmouth; took out £BO,OOO. £300,000 is• said to be the amount already in sured for by the Boston. steamer of the 4th instlint, and policies have been effected for a considerable sunohy next month's steamer. The rate for the 4th Februarris 305., the bwiness previously done having been effected at from 15s. to. 255. Considerablsums are also going to Russia. Consols slightly declined' during the week, the closing ptice on Saturday being 9I for money, and 91/ f6r - the a6count. This condition of the mcrtey , market, together with , the ntnense quantity of food released by the govertment measure suspending the Corn - and Navigation Laws, have operated to give a check to the speculation going crt• in bread-stuffs; and prices haveveceded in all our markets, The-impression seems to be established, that prices have attained' their maximum ; and' that stocks will be me re freelrbrought forward. In addition, we have the fact , that the navigation of the Riieer• tludson is now open, and certain knosledge that the :crops in the United StaseSi yet to come forward, are abundant: Our Cotton market in the commencement of the weelt a was &pressen; and on Wednesday prices were quoted I b-t lower tb- -se of ahou, per ..... an tnoa., Lie previous tfriva3 On Thursday, however, the mari-:et'rallied, theadvices b the Partiek Henry, up to the Bth tilt:, favouring the view of the s-4 - Ort crop speculation, auct.;arei now fully equal t those of last . week.

The im ports have this week considerable exceeded the o era P - tions, amoEntingto 43,764 bales: The same gloom, which we noticed lastweek, continues to prevail in sthe Manchester market for manufactured goods ; and anticipations are very.. -- general that a bad spring trade, with.. the contracting Rendition of the money -ket, is in prospect. The spinners , appear to 3-- _ . oe carry ing the little business doing it a emery , serious sacrifice, yarn being marketable at prices fittik above those realised before the advancein raw material.. There is every dan ger of a large amount'of machinery,..already working half time, having to -stop, altogether. In our producemarkets there is little •change to notice. Sugar has slightly declined from the highest rates of last week. In shares there is little doing, LIVERPOOL. POLYTECHMG SeCTETY At the morthly meeting held last night; at the Royal Institution, Mr—Charles I. Smith, the treasurer of the society, exhibited to the members. present a beautiful apparatus for inhaling the vapour of Asulphnric tether, which he by Mr. Willia . street. It i stated had been kindly lent for the off' Smith, the eminent dentist of Colquitt- W of a large flat'-bottornod flask, into the ground 'neck of which was fixed a smaller globular glass vessel, having at the top a neck fitted with a ground glass stopper, and at the bottom a--,tube reaching nearly to the bottom_ of the larger vessel. The ripper Wssel was filled with pieces of sponge, saturated with tether, and over the bottom of the lower one there was placed a num ber of pieces of-the- same substance, similarly saturated. Near the bottom of the lower vessel,. a neck was blown, to which was attached a flexible tube r and to the other end of the t - uhe was affixed a mouth-piece, which was very beautifully contrived to fit close round the mouth of the patient: In proximity to- the mouth-piece were fixed two valves, both opening , upwards, and acting in such a manner that, durine the 2rt nf. one communicating with the astherial vapour should open, and during the act of expiration it should close, and the upper one opening at the same -instant should allow the air fromthe. lungs to escape -freely into the atmos phere, so that at every succeeding•inspiration the patient should enhale a quantity of fresh vapour, uncontaminated by that which was previously respired. Mr. Smith stated that he had'called UpOn his friend,- the- proprietor of the apparatus before• them for the purpose. o f witnessing f its application.. wh en he not only saw it tried ,upon two patients, but also experierice r d its effects upon himself. Neither of the two patients were able to inhale the sether. He (Mr. Smith) then volunteered to inhale it, ana-in two-and-a-half minutes was in a state of profounePinsensibility, in whichhe.remained for about two minutes. Mr. Smith' then proceeded to point out very clearly the sensations he eXperienced, having resolved when he commenced imbibing the vapour to mark them. These are extremely interesting,:but we cannot tind.room for them-until next week. The. result of the e3.cpernuent satisfiedlim that many persons were unable to inhale the vapour effectually, on account:of the irritating effects •of its strength applied suddenly to the larynx, trachea, and bronchiattubes, which often oceAsip coughing, nause a , and other distressing effec ts.

We are very apprehensive that this mil lion of money will be little better than. thrown IN common with many others, we took exception to the appointment of a medical officer, under the Liverpool Sanatory Act ; in the first place because we conceived the labours imposed upon such an officer would be exesssive, and, in fact, beyond the power of one man to perform; and in the next place because the salary offered—E3oo a-year — appeared disproportioned to such amount of labour. Our views, it subsequently proved, coincided with those of Mr. Chadwick, the secretary of the Poor Law Cominissioners, who has remonstrated strongly against the appointment of Dr. Duncan, on the same grounds which we adduced. A London con temporary, however, complains against it on another and totally different ground. Liverpool is said to have lieen over liberal on the occasion, and to have createst a precedent which, if. followed by other towns, will be -most oppressive and expensive to the - inhabitants. -Our contemporary argues that a „ medical officer ought not to have been appointed Afti ilPin the first instance ; but that the accumu- INA evils of past years ought to have been removed even the contributions levied from them for religious objects—the feeveceived at stations, at weddings,. at christenirigs, Ind upon other religious pretexts.

WHAT WILL , LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S - NEW POOR LAW DO FOR IRELAND. The objection which we have urged against this proposed measure, t fiat it does not renc wonertv frelanti titude whi breasts of THE LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY CHURCH PAS TORAL AID SOCIETY'. The seventivanniversary of this excellent st‘ciAty was held yesterday evening, in the hall of the Collegiate Insti tution. Though the weather was rather unfavourable, ,the attendance was numerous and highly respectable. Amongst' those on the platform, we observed the Rev, Chancellor Raikes, chairman ; the Revds. J. Haslegrave, and A. P. Irwine, (a deputation from the parent society,) and we may say nearly all the clergy of the town and neighbourhood. The,proceedings having been opened with prayer by the Rev. C. W, Lawrence, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to address the meeting. He said it would hardly be necessary for him to trespass upon them for any length of time, in explanation of the objects of the society they were met that evening to sup port ; but he might trespass for a moment, with the view of stating the reasons why he occupied the chair on that occasion. There were reasons which woad have rendered able that he should not come there that evening and there were reasons why he might have requested that some of the laity of Liverpool would have had the kind nes to occupy that place. But he did really feet that Ls a society on_ behalf of which the clergy wet bound to come forward, and tee express their gratitude for the aid afforded; and as the representative of the clergy, he desired to stand forward on that occasion, and when-- ever else he might have the opportunity, to express the gratitude the clergy felt for • the important services rendered through the medium of this society. But there was a pressing claim for gratitude likewise, not from one part of the community, but from alt NV-ho had the best in terests of religion at heart, to. Him who•was "the author of every good gift" that He should have put it into the heart of good men to form the simple, , yet well adapted scheme which we had embodied in this society. It was, perhaps, hardly possible to conceive that help could have been given so effectitally, and yet so economically as it was at this moment administered through themedium of this society, a society established at a pevliid when the church most required assistance. (hear.)' Any helps given to its funds might be considered doubly vakable by the certainty that every pound given went to form the efficiency of the church on the points most important to us all. The, state of things at present was aninestiou- ably critical. Attached as he was, and mustlie to the church as by law established, he should only be expressing the sentiments of those around him, when he said, that for the sake of the - country at large, it was most desirable on all hands that the Established Church should stand. (Applause.) While - the church stood, the country would stand. (Loud cheers.) If it fell, the tie whielilield society together would he loosened, and the very blowethat caused the destruction of the church would cause thedis- organisation of society also; (Load cheers.) He, there fore, thought that every:layman and clergyman might 'lie appropriately appealed to to contribute towards the sup port of this society, which' had such important objects hi view, and which accomplished those objects by a - Systtrti of administration so simple and so eTectual, that it was hardly possible to conceive that such an_admirable plan, eould have been devised bye the mind of man. He re joiced to see so many friends•, around him, because he iew the meeting would hear from them , statements ema- Tinting from the &11ness of theirhearts,for they had seen the Church's energies strengthened and refreshed by the bounty of the Christian world. -,He fell: convinced that the society only required to be properly understood, in order to be more importantly supported.- • He was parti cularly struck with this fact the oilier day, for, after! - the excellent clerical secretary of the society had preached a sermon in a country chinch, the. congregation came- away astonished, saying they. could: not conceive that such destitution existed in thechurch r nor had they an idea there was such an agency at work to•redeem that destitution; and if he (the Chaacellor) were• to judge of the effect produced upon that single congregation, he would say that if sermons were preached in every church and every parish, and if the claims of the society wen yortneriv wrovri_ thv &rich wmild Up, 0,,,n+1 every churchman would rejoice to Contrihute-to a society that strengthened so effectually the church's and contributed so much to the extension of true re, throughout the land.—(Applause.( , The Rev. Mr. LAWRENCE here- read the report, of which the following is an abstract energies, .ine report of the committee congratulated the friends of the society on the substantial addition to the returns which they had been permitted to send from , the Liver pool. Auxiliary to the Parent Society, as compared with the remittance of past years. Exclusive of tne special contribution of about £3OO, collected at the commence ment of the year, there has been transmitted about £BOO, while the previous year's remittance was considerably un der £6OO. The committee believe that the object to be pursued by the society is not diminished—population does not std still—the state of thousands of immortalsouls is not less dreadful than at the commencement of the opera tions of the society—the aggressions of popery, are not less vehement-6- - Purrents of-profligacy have not ceased , to , run in our large towns.--the state of the country is not less critical. The committee, however, hope that s are flowing in upon the society, and that a tendency in the remedies to incritse sinful ', if not equally, with the evils which are to be new resourc there aneousl correcteu. The report notices the in __ funds of society at large, as indicating a growing:con fidence in , the country in the principles of the. society, and then enumerates the society's activities amorig.ourselves; thirteen, churches in this town receitie, in different.sums, nearly XllOO, and the committee . hOpe that the auxiliary will follow the good example. which one of the. branches has set, in paying back, with handsome interest, the sum which the society dispenses among.sis: In one district Le- increaee. in the are told of that happy symptom of ministerial success and spiritual life, viz. of acomplaint beginning to be made by the Door of a want of room. and as a col- lateral result; ragged schools have been, set up as being sorrowfully suitable to the poor and vicious population.

On a division it was found that 13 voted against, and onlyv3 for the new rate. In the k language urged Palmer "After the guardians (says the Telegraph} had deciaed on not striping a new rate, or to levy funds for the sup port of the poor, Mr. Otway pressed upon them the actual necessity of arranging for the:support of the 106 paupers in the house. They, howeirer, made no arrangement, trusting, as they stated, that the collector would be ena bled to collect sufficient funds to procure food for the weekly support of the pauper-inmates-. This, however, is a very precarious 'provision, for .the collector declared he would not undertake to collect unless protected by the military and civil power." Conduct so hea'rtless as this, persisted in, too, in the face of very strong remonstrances addressed to the guar dians by the poor-law commissioners, ought to be proof enough that a . poor-law in Ireland, to be of any use, must be commilsory in its provisions. These Castlebar gentry, under Lord John's proposed measure, would be "per mitted" to give out-door as well as in-door relief to their poor. The scope of their benevolence would be "per mitted" to extend itself. Bat the inclination to fulfil even their present limited duties is clearly wanting. The present awful destitution of the country- is insufficient to — unlock their hearts ; and the ministerial permission to be just, will, in their case, remain &dead letter.

Last night Dr. Mackay delivered an address iii;Great George-street Chapel, detailing the distress in wieh the( Highlands and Islands of Scotland are at present plunged, He said that of 400,000 souls- inhabiting the Highlandai. about 60,000 are at this moment totally destitute of daily tiod, , and are supplied by charity ; and that number will, in a short time, be doubled. Before next summer arrives the Highlands and IslandS• of Scotland will contain 309,000'totally dependant upon charity. The failure of the pdtato crop has been univez - saf through the Highland 4 ail the whole of Scotland ; and the population of the' Highlands and Islands are totally' dependent upon that' crop. From 120 districts acconntS , had been received stating that potatoes formed seven-eighths of the food of the people.
