TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1854. THE NEW MINISTER OF WAR. IT appears from the statement made by Lord JOHN 'RUSSELL, in the House of Commons on Thursday, that the Ministry 'have resolved upon the creation of a new Secretary of State, whose especial business is to attend :to the War depart ment. This business had heretofore been performed by the 'Colonial Secretary, and it is generally ad mitted that the Duke of NEWCASTLE,- who held that office, has devoted himself with much zeal and attention to the additional kluges imposed upon him by the late expedition to the East ; but as the importance of public affairs required that the atten tion of the Minister should be undivided, the Duke of NEWCASTLE has decided upon accepting the new• post, to which he is somewhat familiarised . ; and Sir GEORGE GREY, who has long been wanting place in the Coalition Cabinet; has been appointed to the - Colonial Secretaryship. We cannot attempt to dispute the advantage and necessity of the super intendence of military affairs in, a time of war being intrusted to a responsible Minister; instead of being divided among several subordinate officers, as was recently the case with inevitable want of unity of action. It is, however, rather curious, that the necessity for these additional places, by which patronage and pay are to . be enjoyed,•occur at such convenient times, as enable that place-loving party, the Whigs, to gratify their peculiar penchant. It is true they cannot be accused of entering into the war for the sake of creating a new office—for the charge against them is their want of zeal in the cause ; but circumstances at least appear to favour them, so that if they can but hold out long enough they may be able to provide for all •their hungry dependents. It is not long since the privi lege of being a member of the Cabinet was confined to a select few.; but a Coalition had to gratify so many aspirants for place, posseseing " administra tive talent," that Whig, ingenuity was taxed, and has admirably succeeded. Lord JOHN RUSSELL gat himself a place as leader of the House of Com mons without keeping out some " talent," whom it was necessary to conciliate, though he has now been made the Lord President of the Council. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE is also a member of -the Cabinet, without an office ; and now the creation of a Minister of War admits the long-excluded Sir GEORGE GBEY. These accessions may be deemed elements of strength, but they are, at the best, significant of weakness ; and though the urgency of carrying on the war with vigour may induce a reluctance on the part of the House of Commons to force a Ministerial resignation, it is an event which cannot much longer be delayed. THE WAR WITH, RUSSIA. THE progress of the War with Russia presents little upon which to offer any favourable comment. It is true that there is no lack of despatches by electric telegraph, but for all practical purposes affairs seem to be much in the same state that they were several weeks since. We hear of movements of troops, and of accounts between the Turks and Russians, but neither party has made any sensible progress ; while the Allied forces, both by sea and land, appear to have done but little as yet to inflict any heavy blow and great discouragement on the power of Russia. The bombardment of Odessa, though it affords a striking proof of the capabi lities of British war-steamers, was comparatively fruitless of results, except to practise the crews in naval gunnery at the cost of the Russian, forts; and the attack on the fortress of liango by the Baltic fleet promises no better advantage. We must, however, be content - to wait until the slow progress of the Allied forces shall have brought them into actual conflict with the foe, which all but our own Government seem anxious they should encounter. In. the meantime it is supposed that a new feature will be given to the affair, and a fresh complication of diplomatic" difficulties occur, by the conference which has recently taken place between the Empe ror of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA. Nothing, is, of course, known of the subject of their negotia tion, or the conclusion at which they may have arrived ; but it is not improbable that it involves a new demand on the . Emperor of Bt'SSld to with- THE GOVERNMENT OF THE CHURCH. THERE is an old saying, that extremes meet ; and many instances might be found in the conduct of those who now occupy high places. Mr. GLAD STONE has been long noted for his extreme High Church views, to which, it is believed, he is mainly indebted for his seat for Oxford University, where such opinions are supposed to prevail; and yet he is the prime mover of the bill which destroys the. exclusiveness and will go far to liberalise the future government of that ancient seminary. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has attained almost every place in the religious world, with a versatility of genius nearly unapproachable. At one time, the direct advocate of Romanism, lending his official 'influence to every aggressive step made to extend its means of mis chief, at another avowing himself 'the ardent cham pion of Protestantism, and denouncing the errors of Rome as soul-destroying heresies—at one time attending the ministrations at St. Barnabas's Church, Pimlico, and stating that till then he never really knew what the Church Service was, at ano ther time taking a prominent part in the proceed ings of a professedly dissenting body—at one time using every exertion to appropriate a portion of ecclesiastical revenues to Church purposes, at ano ther standing forward as the prominent defender of Church-rates. In a word, -one of the bitterest foes, and at the same time• one of the most zealous defenders of the Church. There is now, however, a bill before Parliament which, though not professedly a ministerial mea sure, has at least ministerial sanction ; and it is to be regretted that such name., as those of the Earl lof HARIWWDY and the Bishop-of LONDON should be found at the back of it. Its object is to remove, or in other words destroy, churches in London and other ancient towns, where, from change of cir cumstances, they have become less necessary than formerly, upon the pretence of establishing them in more densely populated districts, which are as yet insufficiently provided with church accommo dation. The pretence is plausibly to take where there is an excess, and add to where there is a defect. But is it practicable P It will 'be, no doubt, very easy to pull down many an old church anti devote the land on which it stands to a build ing-speculation, but the advantage to be derived is infinitesimal, compared With the injury to be inflicted. When all the expenses of removal have been discharged, the surplus to be devoted to church building elsewhere must be very small, while the influence of such desecration must be ' detrimental in a moral point of view. If churches are needed in newly-populated districts,tvery exer tion should be made to supply the need.; but little can be gained towards this object by the measure for which legislative sanction is now sought. It would :be far better for Parliament to vote a supply towards new churches, as was done thirty years ago, than, by this pretence of removal, destroy churches -now standing, though less used than formerly, and also destroy the public confidence in the inviolability of church property as a plans of repose for the.departed. Who will be at the expense of ornamenting churches with elaborate monu ments, when a change of population may be deemed a sufficient excuse for their demolition ; and little will posterity lave reason to be thankful to this generation, for *thus depriving them of records which have been .often proved to be invaluable. As a money question, upon which alone it can be sup ported, it is unworthy of an age wherein pecuniary resources were never more ample ; and it is a libel upon the pious munificence which, within the last few years, has done more to provide new churches than was ever done at any period of our history as a Christian nation. It is to be hoped that Parlia wont will be true to its sessional experience, and reject it, as it has done every other ministerial measure. draw his troops from the Danubian provinces, and importance pursued a similar practice, and, enjoy thus to put an end to the ostensible cause of the ing the confidence of the representatives of many war. If the CZAR be really in dread of the immense London houses, did a considerable business. Upon force which is now opposed to him, he may gladly the establishment of joint-stock banks they afforded seize the opportunity afforded by the request the same acco mmo d a ti on w ith ou t charging com of the German Powers to withdraw , and , by this , , mission on payments. The house we allude to did means, induce Austria and Prussia to withhold not profit by their example, but continued to make their co-operation from England and France. This the usual charge until it lost all its business, and will allow an opening for fresh negotiations as to the principal is now an agent in an insurance-office future arrangements, into which the head of the in the town where he was once a leading banker. British Cabinet may not be loath to enter; but It must be evident that a banking-house in Liver any valid settlement will be beset with innumera- pool, established on the principle of charging no ble difficulties. The Emperor of RUSSIA, relieved commission on payments, would secure a large from the immediate pressure of a European combi- business, not only from the many who are dissatis nation against him, will raise his tone, and be fled with the present mode, but also from numer ,unwilling to submit to conditions which it will be ous others—who are now deterred from keeping a the policy of the Western Powers to impose ; while banking account. all that is now done, and the vast expenditure which has been incurred, may be literally thrown away, pending negotiations purposely delayed, and which will be sure to end as they begun. Russia will claim to be placed in the same position that she was before her armies crossed the Pruth, but to this Turkey will not and ought not to consent ; while England and France will have a heavy claim for compensation which Russia will not grant, except by the intelligible arguments of artillery. There is also the question of the navigation of the Black Sea, which neither England nor France will again surrender to Russia, and the vexed question' of the Russian protectorate of the Christian subjects of the PorrE,which must now be abolished for ever. All these are fruitful elements of discord, which it s hardly probable will be settled by any nego tiations, short of those entered into under the humiliation of defeat ; and we, therefore, see no immediate prospect of the termination of the war, whatever may be the course resolved upon by the German Powers. Their secession from the Alliance with Western Europe may contribute in some degree to prolong the contest ; but we can discover no reasonable ground for believing it will be brought to a conclusion through the medium of diplomacy. LIVERPOOL TOWN COI7NCIL, AND THE FINE ARTS. AT the meeting of the Town Council on Wed nesday, a question of some importance was brought forward with reference to the establishment of schools for elementary instruction in the Fine Arts in connexion with manufactures. It will be re membered that when the close of the Great Ex- hibition in 1851 left a large surplus at the disposal of the Commissioners, it was resolved to establish a Board of Art at Marlborough House, in London, of a Ala, - lure which ound to consist in the want of a Central Local Board in Liverpool, to superintend the arrange ments for the different schools where such aid would be required, and this want will now be sup plied by the appointment of the Library and Museum Committee to act on behalf of the Town Council. This arrangement will involve little or no expense, as the necessary outlay will be contributed bythe institutions referred toand the London Board, by which means advantages will also be afforded to the charity schools in the town. This is a ques tion of more importance than may at first sight appear to those who are apt to consider the fine arts as only the ornaments of life. Form and colour are material elements in the value of manu factures, and the competition which was entered into at the Great Exhibition afforded abundant evidence that the superiority of our manufacturers in capital and mechanical skill were largely com pensated by the more excellent taste in design dis played by their foreign rivals. The only practical remedy for this palpable defect was the more general instruction of the youth in our schools in the elementary principles of drawing and design, and the successful carrying out of this scheme de pends on the co-operation of the local boards with the central one in London. In no part of the United Kingdom is such improvement of more material consequence than in Lancashire, the great seat of British manufactures ; and though we may not expect to witness any immediate effects from the movement, the foundation will be laid for an advantage which it is to be hoped will be expe rienced for many years to come. A significant feature in the affair was an offer from several of the leading clergy of the town that the drawing-master to be appointed should be a member of the Church—the subscribers proposing to guarantee to him a salary of £7O, to give him full employment, and to comply with all the con- ditions of the London board. It is in all cases advantageous that public instructors should be members of the National Church, and the liberality with which the proposal is now made should ensure for it success. THE STEAM-SHIP GREAT BRITAIN. Tins fine vessel, after having had the slight injuries thoroughly repaired which she received in passing over some submerged wreck, a few weeks ago, on her outward passage, has again left Liverpool on her voyage to Aus.. tralia. She sailed yesterday for Melbourne and Sydney with a full complement of passengers, and an unusually large and valuable cargo. The Great Britain was adver tised to sail on Saturday, and, to enable her to do so, every preparation had been completed, and she was in all respects ready to leave the docks and proceed to sea, but was pre vented by the want of a sufficient depth • of water, the vessel in consequence of her heavy lading draw ing 22 feet. On Friday the second and third-class passengers, numbering 296 adults, besides children, went on board,nnd in the course of the day the usual inspection by the govern ment officers took place, and they were found to be in a perfectly healthy condition. The saloon passengers, l&3 in number, were to have gone on board on Saturday ; but, in consequence of the alteration in the time of the vessel's sailing, they did not go on board until yesterday morning. Of those passengers who availed themselves of the offer made by the owners to return the passage money, when the ship was compelled to put back, many have again taken passages; and those of the second-cabin, who were transferred to the Bloomer, belonging to the same com pany, have been more than replaced by the number of passengers who have since taken berths, the additional number of this class being upwards of 100. The entire number of passengers which she now takes out is 449, ex clusive of children, being about 90 more than she had on board when she started on her voyage a few weeks since. With regard to cargo, the vessel is completely full, and the owners have been compelled to refuse a large quantity offered. She also takes the mails, and specie amounting to £30,000. The trifling damage which the screw-shaft bush sustained has been repaired by Messrs. J. Penn and Co., of London, and the vessel is in every respect . fully equipped and in trim to make a rapid passage. She has been inspected by Lloyd's agents, who have reported her to be in an efficient state for the voyage ; and her com mander, Capt. Gray, has confidence in being able to make the passage out to Melbourne in sixty days. Intimation had been given that the Great Britain would sail at ten o'clock, and before that hour thousands of spec tators had assembled on the dock quays and along the piers to witness her departure. At half-past eleven, every arrangement having been completed, she left her berth in the Wellington Dock and u-as hauled into the river, the spectators cheering loudly as the noble vessel passed into the stream. The passengers assembled on the deck re turned the cheers with enthusiasm, and the ship, having fired a parting salute, steamed slowly down the Victoria Channel. MEETING OF CARTOWNERS. LAST NIGHT. a s n pec ll a o l u l ;; s a u g r. as th t e h y ein beg sr e s interestdelen io n w s h ieh exceed ing should el an to half submit their ktention of charging Is. 6d. per hour. Mr. JOHN BERRY moved the adoption of the report, which ives seconded by Mr. RICHARD THOMAS. Mr. Davin WILLIAMS supported the motion, and, in refer ence to the detention at the railways, said that it was getting worse day by day. He was there on Friday and Satui day, and there were 36 carts i,vaiting to go into the yard. Three of his carts had waitod on Friday for eleven hours, and on Saturday they were longer. He thought himself it was as great a loss to the merchants and the brokers as the carters ; for instance, when a carter was told there was so much stuff to remove, he put three carts upon it, expecting one of them to return by the time that the third was loaded, hut it slid not, and the consequence was that the warehousemen and labourers were kept without occupation. The motion was unanimously carried. Mr. Wm. BELL then moved that a thousand copies of the report be printed, and that one should be sent to each cart owner, &c., in Liverpool. It will be seen that the report is rather a memorial to the merchants. He said they were only try ing the end of this half-year what they should have done in the last half-year ; for, it they continued those large discounts,., many of them would have to call in the assistance of Mr. Lu.- cas'a hammer to help them to wind-up their business. Mr. DUNCAN CAMPBELL seconded the motion. He thought that, by the proposition which had been carried, nothing was intended but Justice between all parties—the merchant, ship owner,_ and cartowner. Mr. 'Jolt NSTON seconded the motion, rJerring particularly to The detention at the railways. If they adopted the rule of charging is. ed. an hour, it would soon find its own level, a 5 it would fall upon the parties to whom the goods were sent. fie also thought that, after the adoption of the report. each of the carters should send in to the Old Company's-office a li. t of those who employed their carts, that a memorial might be sent to each, and that it might be seen that they were unanimous. The motion was then put and carried. A subscription was then entered into to defray the expenses of the movement. In answer to a question'as to whether the cartowners gene rally would adhere to the rule adopted, the chairman stated t Lat he hoped so, and that it was intended to come into oper ation on the Ist of next month. A vote of thanks to the chairman, passed by hearty accla mation, closed the proceediorra. WAVERTREE BOALI) OF HEALTH. to assist operations 01 similar natuce ..

Mr. Chaffers remarked that nothing could be done in this matter witlieut the concurrence of the water company. Mr. flathead moved that the law-clerk (Mr. Atherton) be instructed to communicate with Mr. Duncan, the engineer to the water company, and ascertain what steps may be neces sary to adopt for having the streets of the village watered. Mr. Chaffers seconded the motion, which was unanimously. adopted. The Chairman then said that serious complaints had been made as to the irregular supply of water afforded to the township, the water tieing frequently taken off, and that pa►- ticularly during the Sundays. Besides this, he found that the taking off of the water was partial, some parts of the village having it taken off while it was continued in others. He suggested that reference should be made to the agreement with the water company, and it was found that the arrange ment was, that Wavertree should be supplied with water in terms of the company's act. Mr.Chaffers said that it could not be expected that the com pany should furnish a continuous supply of water. All that c mid be expected was a fair supply. He directed attention to the condition of the cottages called Iliagge's Houses, where he understood all the tenants had expressed their wil lingness to pay for the water, hut the proprietrix refused to be at the expense of taking it in. The rents, lie might state, be believed to be under £lO yearly. He wished to know whether the board could compel her to take in the water under the circumstances? Mr. Atherton, the law-clerk, said the board could only proceed upon a report from the inspector. The inspector was accordingly instructed to make the requisite inquiiies, and report to the board. Mr. Atherton, the law clerk, intimated that he had com municated with Mr. M'Connell in regard to the dispute about the bridge repairs, wishing to know if he (Mr. M'Connelt) could not get the matter attended to, whether he would object to the case being referred to !lr. Pybus. In answer, Mr. M'Connell had stated that his health was so uncertain be could not say when he should be able to attend to the matter himself, but that he would not object to its being remitted to Mr. Pylius. On this explanation it was agreed to make the remit. Mr. Chaffers moved, and Mr. flathead seconded, the adop tion oflMr. George Bovi era' tender for putting in and finishing gulley-holes , the larger size at 7s. 6,1., and the smaller size at £2 each, on condition that that should include all ne c,-ssary charges for their thorough completion. • The other business before the board was merely routine. GRAND CRICKET MATCH IN LIVERPOOL. YM , TERDAY, a grand cricket match, which will extend over three days, commenced between the celebrated Eleven of All England and 22 members of the Olympus Club, with two professional bowlers added, at the Olympian Cricket ground in Prince's-park. Twice previously have the Liver pool men had the courage to engage the redoubtable "Eleven," and although once defeated, they at another time took off the palm of victory. The pending contest accordingly was regarded with great interest by all the local admirers of this elegant, manly. and now very popular amusement. i The weather fortunately was all that could be desired, the slight rain, which had fallen on the preceding night, having \ put the ground into capital condition. The elements conti. tilled propitious, too, and the wind, while southerly, created unpleasant watery forebodings in the morning, gradually veered round to the west, and the cricketers enjoyed a bright sun over head, and a pleasant, gentle breeze during the whole of the day. One result was an immense concourse of spec (store, not the least acceptable of whom werea goodly collec tion of the fair sex, who gave the stimulus of their counte nance to the sport, and infused a cheerful influence on the pro ceedings of the day. A marquee bad been erected specially / for their accommodation. A very large area of the beautiful grounds had been enclosed for the match, and the "tented field." with flazs flying gaily in the breeze at various points d'appui, looked equally as picturesque, though less painfully exciting than similar scenes at present in the East. Nor were the charms of music wanting to the other agreeable features of the day,—Gribbin's celebrated quadrille band discoursing from a natural orchestra most eloquent music. Of the match itself, till finished, little with safety or justice can be said. The Liverpool fielding was rood, their bowling cautious and clever, and although the wickets did not yield to their t ffiria so rapidly as was of course desired, yet the balls were so bowled as to prevent the adversary achieving any. undue success. The All England men led the way with their first innings. The match co mm e n c e d a t eleven o'clock.

FOLLOWING up the remarks we made last week on the subject of banking, we may notice that ar rangements have been been made by which the joint-stock banks of London will share with the private banking firms in the advantages of the clearing-house, In reference to this subject, it is stated that it will have the effect—by the adoption of cheques on the Bank of England instead of bank notes for the settlement of balances—of saving the use of nearly a million sterling of the circulating me di u m. Were such a plan to be adopted by the hankers of this town, it would' still have greater influence in economising the currency, and a large amount would, by this means, be rendered avail able for the requirements of commerce, and the operations of banking would also be greatly facili tated. These are advantages of a far more prac ticable character than attempts to controul the exchanges or legislative interferences with the currency, and might be adopted without any re course to Parliament, as all that is requisite would be a mutual arrangement by the bankers them selves. It is a question of some importance, and particularly at the present time, when money is bearing a high rate of interest, as the money thus released would enable the bankers to extend their accommodation in discounts. In reference to the subject to which we alluded last week, of the impolicy of bankers charging commission on payments of cheques and bills, we may mention a case in point. Some years since prjvate banking firm in a northern town of some
