A proof of this fact—one which will be gratifying to our readers—is furnished in the fol lowing announcement, which we quote from the Dublin Evening Mail, of Friday : We have pleasure in communicating, as we are per suaded our readers will have in learning, that the Board of our University have done honour to themselves in re solving to confer the honour.of D.D. on the Rev. Hugh IVl`Neile, by an unanimous vote on Saturday last. This broad mark of approval—the very highest in their power to bestow—must be peculiarly gratifying to the feelings of the reverend gentleman on whom it is conferred. The tide of party might have advanced his worldly interests. and the sunshine of courtly influence might have even added dignity to emolum , - - - .nse of such pure delig t, without imparting a s he honour he has now received, the hanced by the high standing of the from whom it has proceeded, and thd (stances under which they have bean value of wi Si is eni distinzuished bod motives and circurr led to confer it ceaseless toil of a life devoted to the service of GOD, and the furtherance of every good work; the valuable contributions he has made from time to time to the literature of his country and his church, in cluding his last masterly work—" The Church and the Churches :" and more particularly his unremitting endea- since the commencement of the famine aid pesti lence in our land—these, doubtless, formed the grounds upon which the Board presented Mr. M'Neile with the high and very unusual, though richly merited, mark of their approbation.. His numerous friends in England will be glad to find their own verdict upon Mr. tersigned by the most influential public bod dom. He won it well, and may he wear it long. 11`gei1e coun y in this king- unusual tribute must be gratifyin g to the tleman and to his numerous friends. This verend gen __, moreover, as honourable to the University, by whom it has been conferred, as it can be grati- ng to M M`Neile hi WE have remarked, from time to time, upon the very unfair position under which the rate-payers of this parish are placed, as the result of the present disastrous' state of things in the sister country. We are placed in the high road between Ireland and that El Dorado, which her impoverished pea santry have been taught to believe is to be found icts of this country manu That peasant ito our port, some r - r emigration to other lands, others to pursue the same mendicancy which they find no longer profit able at home—for the poor cannot beg of the poor, or the whining impostor hope to succeed in his shameless trade where the parties whom he attempts to victimize are on the verge of famine themselves. 'We have the latter class of the people of Ireland to keep—to feed from our soup kitchens, or to shelter in our hospitals. They are spreading, in addition, contagion amongst our own population; and, were even these sources of loss from their ir ruption amongst us removed, they are deteriorating the condition of our own population, over-stocking our labour market, and bringing clown wages to a starvation point. It is impossible that this state of things can be much longer borne. Liverpool connot summit to be made the victim for sins of omission or com mission, in enacting which she has had no part.

Every medical man is aware of the fact. The parish officers are equally aware of it. The very fact of two new fever wards being deemed necessary to meet the emergency proves it. And although the Journal thinks the fact, that the number of patients relieved at the dispensaries during the last fourteen weeks, has been less than the number relieved in the cor- responding period last year (some of them having been transferred to the parish) is " a sufficient criterion for any one to judge that the amount of sickness in Liverpool does not greatly exceed that of the past year," there can be no truth in medical statistics and medical science if, with the irruption into our streets and courts of a horde of half famished Irish, filthy in their habits and in their persons, and with high prices of every article of food operating to depress the condition of our own working population, we do not very shortly dis- cover that disease and mortality are increased very far beyond our contemporary's calculations. ,cow, however, become alarmists. in reverting to the subject at is to inquire what is doing to avert the evil which is in prospect.

Is any being We shall not Our obj tempt made even to clean - se their persons and to prevent them spreading contagion amongst the casual passengers in our streets, whose eyes they shock with their studied loathsomeness ? We fear little is effectually doing in any of these matters. Granting the full extent and onerous nature of the duties newly imposed upon the Council—that the harness in which the Health Committee have to work is new—that their arrangements may not as yet be fully completed and their staff of officials uuequal to the amount of work which the present emergency will exact from them, we fear that their direction. It would have been wise for the present to let Rivington Pike and its mosses alone, and to employ the means at their disposal in practical efforts likely to be more immediately productive of benefit.

Warmer days are coming on—closer nights, in which the crowded dwellings of our poor will increase in their un healthiness ; and if we are not prepared, we must confess our fear that the result will be deplorable.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CHESTER DIOCESAN CHURCH BUILDING SOCIETY. Yesterday, the annual meeting of the members of the Chester Diocesan Church Building Society was held in the Board-room of the Blue School Institution. At twelve o'clock, the hour appointed for holding the meeting, there was but a thin attendance of members; but shortly after, the room became pretty much crowded. Amongst those present, we noticed the following :—The Chancellor of the Diocese ; Archdeacon Rushton, of Manchester ; the Rec tors of Liverpool : Rev. Ellis Ashton, Vicar of Huyton ; Rev.

There must be a Look where we will eve bined against this count ienee seems to he corn- y, and more especially her manufacturing interest. From India, the accounts just come are most depressing, and represent the markets throughout that country as declining for all descriptions of manufactured golds, whilst imports thence, which ought to serve for their purchase, are only kept back by the want of shipping to transport them, and even at the immense rise which has taken place in freights. At Bombay, holders of piece goods were offering their stocks freely, whilst dealers were cautious in making purchases ; and at Calcutta the reported sales of al most all descriptions of similar fabrics are 50 per cent. less in amount than those of the preceding month. Yet stocks are gradually becoming exhausted throughout the country. N ot;vithstanding all precautions, the demand for bullion continues to exhaust the treasury of the Bank of England. By the weekly account in the Friday's Gazette the stock of gold and silver has fallen to £8,801,100, beinga reduc tion in the issue department of £135,240 since the last account, while in the banking department the stock is only £528,741.

Ogle, Thompson, and Co., in our first page to-day, and feel justified in re commending a trial of their wines, not on account of their prices, but on account of their qualities. We generally regard a cheap article as an inferior one, but these wines are an exception to the rule —they are moderate in price and undeniable in excellence : indeed a single trial will remove all doubt, and the very fact of their having sup plied the choicest wines to the Town-hall during the visit of Prince Albert, and at the cl(jeliner at Birkenhead on the opening of the docks, add a reputation to their names that is by no means unenviable. Lord—that they - might be fitted for a happy eternity. The necessity for such a preparation for eternity must be imperatively felt in the present day by every true and sin cere Christian ; for when the Christian looks around him on the enormously increasing population—increasing in vice and immorality as fast as it is in numbers—he must be struck with the necessity which exists for any institu tion which endeavours to afford the means of providing for the religious and the educational wants of the people. (Hear, hear.) He would next allude to that part of the report which urged the absolute necessity which existed for their being economical and careful in granting assist ance for the building of new churches. They would all rejoice to see the country studded over with towers and spires pointing to Heaven, decorated with simple and or namental architectural designs ; but, whilst they would be happy to behold a sight so honourable to religion and the glory of GOD, still they should remember that, at the present time, they more essentially required houses of worship, simple and unadorned, in which the poor of the diocese might have the privilege of bowing their knee in humble adoration of the Most High. (Hear, hear.) They, in the first instance, required that the poor should be provided with chapels, even if they should be without spire, or tower, or chancel, or gallery, if that were ne cessar y. L e t th em have churches first, and ornament them afterwards. Indeed, with regard to the latter species of church ornament—a gallery—he thought that they would all be glad if they could build a sufficient number of churches to enable them to dispense with the use of such incumbrances, which, in all cases where he had 'seen them introduced, merely assisted to destroy the beauty of the internal architecture of the building. He thought it would be wise and judicious, on the part of the society, if they assisted congregations in doing only those things which were essentially necessary for the building of churches, allowing the decorative part of such edifices to remain for another season, when they would be in a better condition to assist them in such under takings. With respect to the objects of the society he would beg leave to remark, that they were not to provide churches for Liverpool, Manchester, and other such dis tricts, where there was local wealth enough for that purpose ; but to provide churches for those parts of the diocese that were almost unable to provide churches for themselves. (Hear, hear.) These were the objects for which they were associated, and they were, perhaps, the most philanthropic in which the mind and energies of a true churchman could be engaged. (Hear, hear.) With these few observations he begged leave to second the resolution that the report now read be adopted. The Rev. Mr. ASHTON felt great pleasure in seconding the motion of the Rev. the Junior Rector of the parish. The resolution was then put, and carried nem. dis. The Rev. Mr. JONES proposed the next resolution, which he read as follows : " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the wel fare of this country is closely connected with an adequate provision of Church accommodation and Pastoral super intendence, for the inhabitants of every parish, of both of which many parishes are still destitute.' He (Mr. Jones) intended merely to have read the resolu tion which he held in his hand, and to have contented himself with simply proposing it to the meeting, because it contained such self-evident truths, that anything which he could say would be superfluous ; but he was reminded by his friend on his right (the Reverend Mr. Campbell), that economy was necessary to be observed in the distribution of their funds for church building purposes. He was one of those who thought that they could not expend too much money in ornamenting their churches—in making them edifices worthy alike of the glory of God and the honour of religion ; but of course utility was the first object which they should study. Yet he could not but think that both ends—both the erec- tion of useful buildings, and their decorations—might be accomplished by exercising a little of that sound discretion which the Society had ever evinced. In the first place, he thought it would be well to build churches sufficiently large to accommodate the wants of the people ; and when that was done, they might afterwards be beautified to any extent the parishioners wished. This, to be sure, was stated in the report ' • and he might be allowed to say that he never listened to the reading of a report which gave him more pleasure than that one had done. (Hear, hear, hear.) He thought it would be unwise in them not to economise their funds. (Hear.) When they reflected on the course pursued by their ancestors, some 30 or 40 years ago they should indeed be cautious. Then Parliament gave £1,000,000 for the building of churches over the kingdom ; but he would ask, was the result of a grant so liberal that it might have fully sup plied the necessity which existed for their exertions ? Why there was a great amount of waste on 'some particu lar churches, and the wants of the people were left unsup plied. He trusted that the report would not only be printed, but widely circulated ' • for he was of opinion that the observations of the Rev. Chancellor, as expressed in that report with reference to the caprice and self-willed ness of subscribers, would when published, have the most beneficial effect on the public mind. It would be eminently calculated to check those evils of which it complained. The public, in his opinion, ought to be taught what to do in the way of true charity. The best way in which any person, who N3Las so rich and so liberal as to do so, could benefit the church was by placing his donation at the disposal of those who were so well acquainted with the disposal of such gifts as to be in them selves a guarantee that such a donation would not be mis applied. If such a course were adopted generally, and the body so entrusted with the donation allowed to exer cise its own will in the disposal of it, the self-will and caprice which was now so injurious to the working of the society would no longer be complained of. . . The Rev. T. BOLD briefly seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. J. JOHNSON, of Runcorn, in proposing the third resolution, observed that he would, in doing so, content himself with saying that the value of the society had been most apparent. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was as follows :—" That this meeting desires to return thanks to Almighty God for the increased church accommodation, which has been provided in this diocese, and considers that the Diocesan Society may justly claim the support of all classes in the community." Archdeacon RUSHTON rose to move that the present officers.of the society be reappointed to their respective offices for the present year, and said that the observations which he had to make were few indeed. Notwithstanding that they had already expended one-and-a-half millions of money in the erection of churches, and half a million more for the building of schools, still it was apparent to all who knew anything of the religious state of the people, that much more was required for that purpose. Much had been effected by t Le Diocesan Society,—it had created a aeinatid for churches and schools which its most sanguine promoters and supporters never anticipated. But much though it had done, much more was yet required. He owned that it should never be lost sight of, that privat individuals had been doing much, v( the more that private individuals did, the m required of their society, for they would be creating a greater demand upon them. It was wrong for people to be impressed with the idea, that the more they did towards the production of their object, they were approaching the more speedily to the termination of their labours. Such an impression was wrong indeed, for it only argued that the more they did the less would be expected of them. They had to be sure made provision for their super abundant population ; but if they had done so, that was principally dotse in districts where there was local wealth. But now the applications were coming in from the dis tricts where there was little local wealth, especially from the districts created by Sir Robert Peel's Act. They bad clergymen preaching the gospel in places in this coun try which would not be occupied for any other purpose whatever. They held Divine Service in such places as Breweries, Public-house, in rooms and cottages and such places as the people could remain during the service. They had beard a great deal said of the sufferings of their brethren engaged in the foreign m issions ; but ho was of opinion that the labours of their own clergy at home were nearly, if not fully, as arduous and severe. He knew three clergymen himself, who had lost their health from their exertions in behalf of the poor, in situations similar to those he had just described. On these grounds, therefore, he would urge on the society the propriety of their appealing to the public for increased funds, to enable them to carry out the objects which they had in view ; for it was heart-rending to read at their board meetings the accounts sent in from time to time of the reli gious destitution of the people and the clergy of the different districts. However, they had the gratifying fact to reflect on that the public were still with them, and in this town, where dissent was said to be prevailing, they were most supported. They had the poor with them, who still knew that the church was the educatrix of the people as well as their great public moral and religious instructor. The venerable Archdeacon then resumed his seat. The Rev. C. LAWRENCE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Rev. RECTOR CAMPBELL then made some remarks in explanation of what he meant, by impresssing on the society the necessity of using economy in the distribution of its funds ; after which, on the motion of the Very Rev. the Chancellor, a most cordial and flattering vote of thanks was passed to the Rev. Chairman, for his undeviating zeal in the cause of religion, and truth, and the interests of the society. would b The motion was carried by acclamation The Rev. CHAIRMAN, in returning his heartfelt and sincere thanks for the kind and cordial expression of thanks to him for his poor and limited exertions in behalf of their society, took occasion to pass a well merited eulo gium on the people of Liverpool for the zeal which they have ever manifested for the support of religion and the Church of Christ ; and also for their beneficent charity on every occasion where distressed humanity appealed to them for relief. In illustration of •this the• reverend and venerable rector stated that when he and a friend of his proposed to build the new churches now erected in the fields, he made a calculation of the amount of money then being paid by the people of Liver pool for the erection and repairing of their own churches, and he found that they were actually contributing above £BO,OOO for that purpose. After again thanking them, and impressing on the meeting the necessity of making vigorous exertions in support of the society, the reverend gentleman resumed his seat. The meeting then separated. THE Caors, &c.—Since our last week's publication the. weather for the first five days was dry, and generally sunny by day, but with a slight frosty night and morning air. Vegetation had not so far progressed that any damage worth notice has been done. Field operations in the neighbourhood have gone on briskly, and nearly all the spring seed is in the ground. The first crop of early po tatoes in gardens, and sheltered bits of fields, aro-in some " early " localities in these districts, and particularly where covered with litter by night, in a remarkably for ward state, considering the long drought and cold easterly winds. We have seen some upwards of two inches above the ground, and in full and large leaf—apparently quite healthy. The wheats generally look well. The glass which had stood at " Fair," and even abov, days, began to waver at the latter end of last weex. Sunday it perceptibly declined, and on that day a ver, slight rain partially fell. Yesterday morning, the wind, after a previous threatening from clouds, shifted to the W.N.W, or thereabouts, and blew fresh, with a heavy downfal of rain, but in the first instance of hail. This wet has done much good already. The day was afterwards fine, but cool from the force of the breeze. Soft showers and sunshine would now much forward all crops, and rouse the fullest hopes of the husbandman. THEFTS OF GRAIN, &C., FROM THE. DOCKS, &C.—The practice of poor-looking parties, chiefly . Irish, and in cluding both males and females, pilfering quantities of wheat, barley, Indian corn, flour, &c., from bags on the quays, has become very prevalent. No feler than six or eight persons wale yesterday charged with this offence at various docks. They were sent to gaol for from seven to fourteen days, according to the grades of their respective delinquencies, several of them having pleaded hunger, and apparently with truth.—Two poor women were also charged with'stealing turnips from Windior, but the case not being clear they were remanded. .. t for many On Rev. D. D. Stewart, Live Vicar of Burnley ; Rev .ohnson, Esq., Runcorn ; and G. Carter, Esq. The Rev. Jonathan Brooks, senior Rector of Liverpool, pied the chair The meeting having been opened with prayer by the Rev. Chas. Lawrence, the Chancellor of the Diocese, read the folllowing report of the society for the past The report after alluding to the growing' sense of the need of creasing church accommodation, states that the committee nau rue misiortune or neginning the year io-to min an uppu t cm, balance avainst them of .1150. In consequence of this, little was done towards encouraging the objects of the society during the two first quarters of the year just expired. At the meeting on April 1, two applications from churches (St. Silas's, Harper, and St. Simon's, Connor) building in Manchester and in Liver pool, were declined, under the conviction that they were not within the scope of our operations. Applications from the districts of Coldhurst, in Oldham, of St. Paul's, Lane -bridge, in Burnley, were declined on other grounds, but chiefly on objec tions to the plans proposed as being too expensive. The cases of Whitworth Chapel, to be rebuilt, and of an offer from gentle men, owners of mill property at Prestolee, were reluctantly deferred. At the quarterly meeting, June 30, an additional grant of .e2B was granted for the completion of the church at Birkle, in Middleton, and .e3OO for a new church at Whitworth, in the parish of Rochdale. The case of this chapel was included in the last year's report, but it may be well to recapitulate here, that the population of the chapelry is 4970, the old chapel has 426 sittings, but none free, except those which are placed in the aisles. A plan for the enlargement of the chapel had been submitted to the Incorporated Society, but as they saw reason for objection, and recommended a new church n nlan w^ or, .s pared for their approbation, which offered 1139 a sittings for tin. sum of £2,300; The local subscriptions have only reached x"700: the sum expected from the Incorporated Society was £5OO, and your committee agrees to promise .t'3oo, under the hope that private benefactions may yet be drawn out, which might supply the apparent deficiency. At the same meeting several orders, for the payment of grants, were made: but no other promises, under the conviction that has uded to. At the quarterly meeting, September Ise of the West Leigh Church, in the parish of Leigh, ht before the committee by the Rev. the Vicar, who in enmnlianre with the renuirements of the Incor- already a tl the probable cost of the church - would be ..e2500, the population of the district being 2500; and, in consideration of these changes, the grant of £2BO was confirmed, with an addition of .e5O more. An application was also made from the newly appointed minis ter of the district of Portwood, in Stockport, mentioning the difficulties with which he was surrounded, but that he had suc ceeded in raising the sum of £BOO, applicable towardsthe build ing of a church, and in the consideration of the peculiar cir cumstances of the place, the difficulty of obtaining a site, and the total want of local resources, It was resolved that .'BOO should be applicable to the purposes of that district. Another application was made from the incumbent of the district of Coldhurst, in Oldham, requesting some further as sistance, in order to complete the church. The grant of the Incorporate Society of £2OO involved the outlay of .eIBO in the construction of a chancel; and though the church ? which is calculated to hold five hundred people, is to be finished with this addition for .t'l4oo, the building fund fell so short, that it was deemed necessary to assist it by the grant of an additional £lOO. At the same meeting applications were received from the dis trict of Hurst, in Ashton-under-Lyne, and from the district of Dane Bridge, in Northwich, which were not deemed admissible, on account of the extensive scale of the building ; and the vote of a grant to St. James's, Congleton, was renewed, on a• letter from the incumbent encouraging hopes that the work would be speedily proceeded in. At the quarterly meeting, on December 30, payments were ordered of the grants made to St. Paul's, Macclesfield, of the re maining moiety of the grant to the church at Whitehaven, and of .elOO to the church at Waterhead, in Oldham. At the same time, the returns from the collections made dur ing the preceding summer, under the authority of the Bishop's '..tte- were - - -ted, and it s , " - red that the collections - ready paid and notified amounted to £1,920. Under this state ment, your committee feel themselves justified in meeting the applications before them with a greater liberality, and the fol lowing grants were made : To the district of Christ Church, in Denton, a grant was made Of £4OO. In this parish the population amounts to 8000, and the old chapel only offers 300 sittings. The new church is planned to hold 860. Subscriptions have been raised to the amount of £1425, and the Incorporated Society has promised .e4OO. T in Duckenfield, the same sum of £4OO o at. Mark's c._ Act., _ was voted. The population of this district is 7000. Local sub scriptions only .amount to .'l5O. Her Majesty's Commis sioners have made a grant of £250, the Incorporated Society of £350, and an unknown benefactor, through the bishop, has given .eBOO. To the district of St. Paul's, in Burnley, and of Hurst, in Ashton-under-Lyne, grants of .t2OO were voted. To Bridge, in &ortliwich, and to Scarisbrick, Orraskirk, £2CO each. To All Saints' district, Habergham Eaves, £l5O. And additional grants of -eloo each to Welsden, in Todmor den, to Charlestown, in Ashton-under-Lyne, and of to East Crompton.

LONDON CORN MARKET There was a short supply of wheat by land carriage samples from Essex and Kent this morning, and a very limited quantity of barley, beans, and peas from all the near counties, with limited fresh arrival of oats from our own coast, Scotland, and Ireland. YESTERDAY The importations of foreign wheat and barley during the past week were tolerably good, with a somewhat large quantity of oats, ancli! fair supply of other articles of the trade. _ _ _ • SiUce this day seinnight, the weather has been cold with a shifting wind ; this morning it is south-west, and we have had some nice warm rain, so that at last a favourable change seems at hand. At the opening of the market very high prices were demanded for all English Wheat, which appeared to check business, but ultimately the rates of Friday were submitted to, being about Is. per qr. advance on last Monday's currency for choice sam ples only, whilst for foreign a fair steady demand was expe rienced at Is. to 2s. per qr. improvement in the value of all sorts. Buyers for export still show themselves, and that de mand is now extending to Holland, as well as to France and Belgium.

Peas of all sorts were held for fully as much money. The increased supply of Foreign Oats, combined with this morning's favourable change in the weather,l caused the trade to be dull at last week's currency. Linseed was fully as dear, and in moderate demand. Rapeseed continues scarce, and brought quite former terms. Cloverseed was held at higher rates. Floating cargoes of most articles are more enquired after, and Wheat, Barley, and Beans are held for more money. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, ,-YESTERDAY The number of beasts was not so large, trade was in conse quence better. From Holland we had 396, Scotland 220, Nor folk and Suffolk 2000, and 750 from various parts of the coun try . The supply of sheep and lambs was not so great, the former sold at advanced prices. Lambs did not sell so well, From Holland there were 880 sheep and 62 calves. The calf trade was dull for inferior quality, prime were in demand at Friday's prices.

ACCESSION TO LIVERPOOL PROFESSIONAL TALENT We have great pleasure in directing attention to the adver tisement of Mr. Goodall, in another column, announcing his having settled permanently in Liverpool, where he purposes giving lessons in dancing and calisthenic exercises, but more especially pursuing his career as a professor of the violin anti violoncello. We have been favoured with an opportunity, in private, of hearing Mr. Goodall's performance upon the former instrument, which he has studied under De Beriot and Mori, and can honestly state that, as a solo performer, whether for tone or execution, he is not excelled by the best masters, and does credit to those eminent men who have afforded him the benefit of their instructions. We hope shortly to have the op portunity of hearing him in public, when the music-loving people of Liverpool will find that they have secured in him an acquisition to their stock of professional talent not to be got at except from sources too costly to be resorted to except on extraordinary occasions. CHESTER RACES. CHEiTER, MONDAY NIGHT, HALF-PAST EIGHT, The following horses have arrived :—Dawson's string heads the list.

There never were so many horses at Chester before on any previous meeting. EASTHAM FERRY.—This truly romantic ferry, one of the most lovely retreats on the banks of the Mersey, may now be said to be fairly opened for the season. A new slip, which greatly facilitates the landing, has been erected, and that a continual communication may be kept up, another boat (we believe from the Clyde) has been placed on the station to run in conjunction with the Royal Tar, the swiftest boat on the river ; indeed, no effort is spared by the proprietor, Mr. Nicholls, to make this ferry as fashionable and convenient, as it is beautiful and pictu relque. • - - GLASS DEVOTED TO A NEW PURPOSE .—Gla3s, of a rich ruby colour, has been used, instead of the old ebony, for the sharp or flat keys of the organ of All Saints, Northampton. The Bedford Times suggests that the idea may be happily applied to the whole key board of Vie piano -forte, with a tasteful diversity or iridescence of colours. If not too smooth for the friction of the gentle cushions usually applied to such electrifiers, and if not as cold in winter to the touch as the ebony and ivory con trast certainly is at all times to the sight, we shou ld and add wonder if the idea may find favour in bright eYe 9 ' a new grace where so much o f th e grace ful is already g 0 often concenterecl.—The Builder. MR. ROGERSONS ESTABLISHMENT, CHuacit-sTaimor.•••• Day by day we see internal and external alterations in the given us more minute gratification tnan those now com pleting at this even hitherto beautiful establishment. Within the last few.years Mr. Rogerson has not only ex tended the length of his shop, but has engrossed the whole of the adjoining premises ; and now, in order that the appearance may be in no way behind the extent of the establishment, it has been literally re-built. The part which has a great breadth to Church-street is stuccoed in the Grecian style of architecture, with balustrades et the top, bearing an escutcheon, on which is raised in bold sans serif characters the name "Rogerson." The win' dows which are of plate glass, are surmounted in the same style, and the whole presents not only a pleasing but an imposing and splendid appearance. The front to William son-street will be of the same character. The internal alterations are such as will enable the proprietor to give every facility to his numerous friends and patrons in the dispatch of business in all the branches he so ably con ducts. On viewing the spacious room appropriated to the mantle, shawl and scarf department, we were particularly struck with the truly splendid appearance of the interior, fitted up as it has been in a most tasteful and elegant man ner. We are sure that all who may avail themselves of the opportunity of witnessing it will agree with us in opi nion that the beauty of its design is worthy of imitation. ETYMOLOGY.—The word " cobbler" is derived from coble" or " cobble," a round, hard stone found in the beds of streams, and brought down from the mountains, and rounded by the floods ; a stone of this kind being used by cobblers to beat their leather upon. A THREAT.--A good specimen of Lord Ellenborough's pungent humour not always observant of time and place, is given by Lord Eldon. Upon the occasion of a royal marriage, there being much talk during the ceremony in one corner of the drawing-room, his lordship exclaimed- - ' " Be silent in that corner of the room, or you shall be mar ried yourselves !"
