Life of Benvenuto Cellini. translated by Thomas Roscoe. n, York-street, Covent-garden. that the " Life of Cellini " is nd interesting pieces of biogra yet, however, it.seems that the world has not possessed a genuine copy, although in the . translation published in 1822 by 31r; Roscoe was carefully collated what was generally acknowledged to be the best version extant. The present translation, however, possesses the advantage of having been care fully compared with a copy of the original manuscript in the handwriting of Cellini himself, which was accidentally discovered in 1810 at the shop of a bookseller in Florence, and is now deposited in the Laurentian Library, in com- pliance wit the will of its discoverer, and has been pub lished v ' tirn by Signor Molini of Florence, and forms i k. one of the volumes of the Biblioteca Italiana Portatile. Mr. Roscoe?s well-known talent as a translator is a suffi cient guarantee of the faithfulness of the English version, which is will'worthy of a place in a " standard library." This adiiitlon is enriched by numerous valuable notes by the translator. The Medical Times for November last contains its usual amount of original and compiled matter. Amongst the former will be found articles of current interest—one by Dr. Orpen, of Birkenhead, giving his experience of the follies of homoeopathy ; another by Dr. Daunt, enti tled " Hints on Medical Emigration," in a series of letters. Medical ramblers from home would be interested by a perusal of its useful suggestions. It appears that there is such a thing as a preference to be made in the quali ties of medical degrees : for peripatetic medicals Edinburgh has the above recommendation before others. As in the New World, the New Athens of the Old World is the most famed for its science of the healing art. Other seats of learning may be grown hoary with the wisdom accumu lated from earlier dates ; but the university of modern Athens enjoys the credit of having the elastic powers of youth combined with the vigour of maturity ; and, as the world goes, these qualities are more generally useful for ordinary contingencies of life, than the ornate crown of grey hairs powdered and courtly, which our aristocratic English universities rear with so complacent and bland ishing a smile. Ambitious of the future and envious superstition of the past, may he said to characterise the contending national seats of instruction. Th e one adapts itself to the requirements of the present ad vancing age, the other hugs' the past, and like a certain crustacean insect of the deep piogresses sideways—` Festina lente" dramatised in educational move ments—The elastic onward stride of the one renders it the more worthy of the practical student, the mouldy literature of the other may attract the literary and luxu rious son of wearying out old England.

The Reviews are not numerous, but the Lectures are-reported with spirit. The causes of epidemic fever are discussed in one paper. The evidence brought forward is quite of a piece with the facts so recently reported in our columns, and also set forth in Dr. Duncan's able pamphlet, and systematised in our Health of Towns' Advocate. We cannot extract, but we wish 'the public could only know the accumulating evi dence in the experience and scrutiny of the medical world. The Pharmaceutical Times, a journal of Chemistry applied to the•arts, agriculture and manufactures; for the same month, contains a mass of most valuable information on the subject treated on ; and it embraces many current thoughts a - nd experiments detailed in its various contribu tions, which will be sought in vain elsewhere. It is cheap and voluminous. We observe, like many others, it per sists in orthographizing—" Sanatory," for Sanitary— Sanitua is the proper root. London Nil critics have agt: e of the most stirri in any language OPENING OF PARLIAMENT THE HOUSOF LORDS. Parliament was opened dff - Tuesdai by her Majesty, hi person, with the usual forms. Long before 12 o'clock, the hour at which the doors were to be opened, vast crowds had assembled around the the house to witness the arrival of peers and ..-sses who were to be present on the occasion, and, _ry soon after the doors were opened, the Royal gallery was filled. The peeresses. and those ladies who had exterior of pee tickets, continued a to arrive in rapid succession up to within a short time before her Majesty reached the House. Every available place, both in the body of the house and _ _ Among the 'first peers who arrived' were the Earl of Zetland, the Duke of Buceleuch, the Earl of Charleville, the Marquis of Camden, Earl Fitzwilliam, and the Earl of Cardigan. The Ministers present were the Earl Grey, the Earl of Clerendon, tl Marquis of Lansdowne, Marquis of Clanri- and the I marl of Auckland The extreme darkness, occasioned by the fogginess of the weather, rendered it necessary to light up the house, so that a much more brilliant effect was produced than is ever usual by daylight, and the jewels worn by the ladies shone resplendently. At about a quarter past 2 o'clock a flourish of trumpets announced a Royal arrival, and in a few minutes after his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge entered the house. He wag warmly greeted. His Royal. Highness shook hands and conversed with several peers ; among the rest with the bishops, and Lord Campbell. The Lord Chancellor, too, who had arrived a few moments before, also talked with his Royal Highness. The Duke of Wel: lington arrived about five minutes after the Duke of Cam bridge, who greeted his Grace with, " Why, Duke, you .• • • •I look quite young." Precisely at 2 o'clock the guns were heard which an nounced the approach of her Majesty, and, in a few mi nutes after, the prolonged note of the trumpet resounding through the Royal gallery apprised those who were as sembled in the House of Peers that her Majesty had arrived. Immediately afterwards the procession of Officers of the Household and others who *tend her Majesty on these occasions entered the house by the side door leading from the Royal gallery. The Earl of Zetland bore the Cap of Maintenance, the Duke of Wellington the Sword of State, the Marquis of Lansdowne the Crown. Her Majesty followed, accompanied by Prince Albert. i The whole assembly rose as her Majesty entered Her Majesty bowed most graciously repeatedly, and the Prince then conducted her up to the throne. His Royal High ness occupied the smaller throne on the left ; that on the right, for the Prince of Wales, being left vacant. The Duchess of Sutherland stood on the right of the throne, close to her Majesty, and the Marchioness of Douro, as lady-in-waiting, stood near the duchess. The Duke of Wellington stood immediately to the left of her Majesty, holding the Sword of State. The Marquis of Lansdowne stood to the right of the throne, on the floor of the house, bearing the Crown, on a silver velvet cushion. Her Majesty, having seated herself, desired the lords to be seated. The Commons were then, according to speech read The speech was then handed by the Lord Chancellor to her Majesty, who proceeded to read it with her usual ad, mirable clearness and emphasis. It was observable that the passages referring to Irish distress were delivered by her Majesty in rather a subdued tone, and with an accent of sympathy for the sufferings described; but when her Majesty came to the passage relating to the Spanish mar- riage, and also that which refers to the subject of Cracow, her tone became perceptibly changed ; and, besides that she spoke more loudly and emphatically, there was r slight abruptness in the delivery. j'he aspect of the int , - 1 the nor of _ —.ruse during the ceremony was more brilhanl even than usual, in consequence of the place being lit up. At all times the scene is splendid and imposing, from the and the elegance of their costumes, and, alive all, from the presence of so many illustrious persons, distinguished for high rank or for talent, who are seldom or never as sembled except on such an occasion. Her Majesty's dress, particularly the stomacher and tiara, blazed with diamonds, and the jewels of the Duchess of Sutherland also shone with conspicuous splendour. With the reading of the speech the ceremony of open- ing Parliament was concluded. Her Majesty and the Prince, preceded and attended as before, lett the house on their return to Buckingham Palace. At 5 o'clock the house re-assembled. There were some changes in the position of the leading peers. The Minis ters, of course, occupied their usual seats. Lord Melbourne was present, and occupied the seat he usually held among his colleagues when he was a minister. On the Opposi tion bench there was a change. Lord Stanley occupied the usual place of the leader of opposition. By his side was the Duke of Richmond, and the principal Protec tionist peers were seated near. The Duke of Buckingham occupied the seat next Lord Brougham, below the gang way, and the Earl of Winchilsea sat next to him. The and immediately took The Earl of St. Germans and one or two other members of the former Government sat below the gangway. Criitral ;filtszrilanp.

The experiments are described to be perfectly successful. Wm. Duckett, who had been remanded since the 4th inst. for an attempt upon the lire of his wife, by cutting her throat, at Middlewich, was last week committed to take his trial at the assizes, the poor woman having so far recovered as to be able to give evidence against him. A boy named William Wood, living at Ombersley, Worcestershire, and employed by Mr. R. Amphlett, of Lineholt Common, to shoot birds upon the farm, was killed last week by an accidental discharge of his gun, the contents of which lodged in his head. H. M.'s steam-sloop Sphynx was run aground on" Sa turday, at Chilton, five miles ahead of the Needles : the last reports state her to be breaking up, and fast sinking in the sands. Mr. Harris and six men or the Scourge were drowned on Monday in trying to board her. SUDDEN DEATH.—Lord Charles Stuart, son of the Earl of Murray, went to bed on Wednesday night in good health, and was found by his servant, on entering his room shortly after' nine on Thursday morning, lying on the floor on his face, apparently senseless. Two doctors were in immediate attendance, but life was extinct. EXCISE DUTY ON PAPER.—A meeting of the paper makers of Scotland was held on Wednesday, in the ware house of Mr. Cameron, Bank-street, for the purpose of adopting resolutions deprecatory of the excise duty' on paper, and for petitioning the government for its repeal. The various resohttions were unanimously agreed to. On Thursday the Common Council of London voted £2,000, with acclamation, for the relief of the distressed Irish and Scotch. The Lord Mayor said he would hand over the money that night, and he expressed a fervent hope that the example would be followed by every corpo ration in England. Mr. Thomas Newport, farmer, of Clavering, has been taken into custody, as being implicated in the poisoning cases at Manuden and Clavering, for which Sarah Ches ham awaits her trial at the ensuing assizes, and the case stood remanded to Monday, at the Police Station, New port. The Duke of Manchester has written to the Times to say, that the reason for his grace not replying to Arch deacon Saurin's application for the relief of the destitute Irish, was' of a private nature. It appears that during the last four years three-sevenths-of the duke's disposable income have been expended in labour and charities on his Irish property. THE PRICE OF BEER.—We are requested to state that the London brewers have not raised the price of porter one penny per quart, or 12s. a barrel, as was stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but only ss. a barrel, or rather less than one halfpenny a quart. The additional advance has, no doubt, in many instances, been made by the retailers.—Times. The Morning Herald says that in the town of Notting ham there as many as eight-and-twenty different sects ; and of the Methodists alone, seven separate and dis tinct bodies. Besides which there is the perpetual change which is ever going on amidst these fluctuating sects or parties. A man is a Baptist in January, a Killlamite in July, and a Romanist in December. A young man was found dead in his bed, at Notting ham, on Saturday, from suffocation produced by the car bonic acid gas evolved from a chafing-dish filled with burning embers. Before he retired to rest, he had care fully stopped up the window and fireplace, and, indeed, every, other crevice, so that it was impossible for the noxious vapour to escape from the room. Since the recent excitement caused by the death of a girl who was imprisoned by a proctor at Cambridge, there have been several disturbances at night ; the mob rescuing females who have been arrested by the order of the proc tors. Twice last week these riotous proceedings were renewed ; the mob succeeding in their object on both occasions, and hooting at the proctor and his men. PRISON• REFORMATION.—Seven offenders were libera ted from Gloucester county gaol a few days ago. In the course of the same day two of them succeeded in perpe trating a fresh felony and effecting their escape, and the other five fell into the hands of the police as drunk and disorderly, having squandered in intoxication the money which the magistrates had given them to provide for pre sent necessities. PAINFUL DISCOVERY.—On the night of Sunday, the 27th ult., Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, who resided with her husband at Pope's Villa, Twickenham, disappeared from her home. She had dressed up the pillow and placed it by the side of her partner, and he did 'not miss her till the morning. Nothing was heard of her till Saturday, when her dead body was picked up in the river Thames, off Lambeth. A SINGULAR CHARACTER.—An old woman named Sarah Valiant, who resided in Wye-bridge-street, Mon mouth, died on Tuesday . week. She had for many years gained her livelihood by carrying pails of water to the houses in the neighbourhood, and was apparently in Very poor circumstances. After her death, however, seventy guineas were found in various parts of the house, wrapped up in pieces of linen. These she had by will bequeathed to her niece. She was about 73 years old. Mr. David Bevan, banker, of London, who died on the 24th ultimo, has left personal property valued at £250,000. He has bequeathed to his son, R. L. Bevan, £40,000; to his son, the Rev. D. B. Bevan, Rector of Burton. Latimer, ZlO,OOO - to his four daughters, (among whom is the wife of the Rev. T. Mortimer, 8.D., minis ter of Gray's Irn-lane Chapel, London,) £20,000 each. The whole of his real property he leaves to his son, R. C. L. Bevan. EARLY GENILTS.—The price of bread was raised on Tuesday last. A boy went into one of our baker's shops the same afternoon, and asked for an oblong piece of sub stance of yesterday's baking. The towel round it, he tendered the old price, when another halfpenny was de manded, on the ground that the price had risen that day. " - Oh !" said young hopeful, that's sure enough, but this loaf is of yesterday's baking I" The baker laughed for his halfpenny. The boy might do for Go-a-head land. — Ayr Advertiser. _ . - PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.—The official document of the public income and expenditure for the year ending the sth of January last., laid before parlia ment on Wednesday, was issued on Saturday. The total income for the year was £53,790,138 7s. 5d., and the ex penditure £50,943,830 Bs. 3d., leaving an excess of in come over the expenditure of £2,846,307 19s. 2d. The balances in the Exchequer, on the sth of January, 1846, amounted to £8,452,090 Os. Oid., and on the sth of the present month they were £9,131,282 is. 10-Id. The third subscription list of the British Association for the relief of the distress in Ireland and Scotland, has been nubl - - ed. It amounts to £48,825; and is folloWed by ad ditional subscriptions which carry the above sum to at least £60,000. To this must be added the fund raising by the National Club, which may be estimated at nearly £lO,OOO, and the " Ladies Relief Association" for Ireland only, at the head of which is the Queen Dowager. All, therefore, that mere charity can do to alleviate this ter rible calamity, is being done. A Soinmix FROZEis'" TO DEATH.—On Thursday morn ing, the dead body of a soldier was found on a part of the moor above Glossop Low. It appears that his intention was to go from Burnley to Sheffield to visit his friends. There is little doubt the unfortunate man missed his way, and, becoming bewildered amid the darkness, was frozen to death. The deceased's name was Samuel Burgin, of the 69th Regiment, now stationed at Burnley ; he was a very fine athletic man, about thirty-four years of age. When found, he was completely glazed over with ice, and frozen fast to the ground. It is supposed he was in li quor, but he received an excellent character for sobriety. CONNUBIAL COMPLICATION.—In the parish of Cruwys Merchard, there is a remarkable lady, who is now near her 70th year, and is the mother of ten children, who have all given their hands in wedlock, and who has up wards of forty grandchildren. This venerable dame hath now for the third time been led to the altar by a young farmer of the parish .aforesaid, and who is about the age of her ninth child by a former husband, in order that she may enjoy the solace of a marriage life in the sweet society of a young and tender consort. The old lady's been married her sister's 's children.L-Exeter Time's husband's father 'mother to an older A MOTHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HER SoN.—On Friday, the son of Widow Tazewell, of Walton, near Glastonbury, having been shooting small birds, brought home his gun loaded, and hung it up in its usual place, first taking off the cap. He then weht out, and another son, a boy about ten years of age, in the absence of his mother, having taken down the gun and placed another cap on it, on his mother's, return said, " Mother, I am going to pop the candle out," and immediately fired. The whole of the charge lodged in the body of his nnfor- tunate parent, just below 'the breast ; she uttered one moan, and died, leaving eight orphan children to deplore her loss.—Somerset Gazette. _ _ BURIAL PLACES OUT OF LARGE TOWNS. —We are glad to observe that the Metropolitan and Suburban Ceme tery Society have been so' uccessful in the great support they have received, that they have not only purchased large plots of ground near the metropolis, but have also formed themselves into another company to effect the same object for the great cities and populous districts of the country. The estimates prepared by one of the four surveyors of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London, show a clear dividend of 20 per cent. on the capital of 250 years, and it is expected that large towns, by the same economical principles being applied, will yield similar returns. The deposit being only 2s. per share, may, however, lead to a great deal of speculation for immediate profits, which is to be regretted. Mark Lane Express. DESTRUCTION OF HORSES.—The Essex Herald says,— " We are credibly informed that, within a circle of about three miles, not fewer than twenty horses, which were to all appearance in previous good health, have died within the last twelve months suddenly, post mortem examina tions exhibiting no ostensible cause for their deaths. One of them was a fine animal, valued at forty guineas. Nor has the system been confined to the destruction of that noble animal, the horse ; a cow, in the same vicinity, worth £lB, was not long since found dead, and no doiebt is being evident the recently-made footmarks of persons fvldent around the carcass, that it was suffocated. It is imagined that the animals thus killed in fine con dition, have been taken to a more lucrative market than that offered by the kennel or the boiler ; and it is even stated that joints have been salted down in firkins, and sold as foreign beef so imported."

Taylor and Son, at Bishops Stortford. It was soon after discovered to have_ been occasioned by the whole floor of one of the barley chambers giving way, with the immense quautity of grain (upwards of 1,000 quarters) above it. A number of Messrs. Taylor's men endea- voured to secure as much as possible of what had been forced out into the yard. While this was going on, at tention was directed to the barley chamber of the malt ing adjoining, which was found to be giving way under about the same quantity of grain, but by prompt applica tion of some strong timber it was prevented from bulging out. A hole was cut in the end the next morning, and about 100 quarters taken out. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND MURDER.—On Monday night, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, as Mr. John Riley, tobacconist, in Waingate, was on his way to his residence, in the Occupation-road, and had proceeded as far as the top of Tom Cross-lane, near Burgin's-gar dens, three men suddenly rushed upon him from the opposite side of the road to that on which he was walking, one of whom struck him a blow across the forehead with a bludgeon, or life-preserver, .by which he was at once rendered insensible, and he fell to the ground bleeding Profusely from the wound. The villains stole about 30s. in silver; and having secured AI Riley's watch (a silver lever, without maker's name, and numbered 3,260,) and also his hat and stick, they left him insensible and bleed ing on the ground. Mr. Riley_ has since died.—Sheffield Times. THE POOR-LAW CASE AT.Won.cEsTER.—We recently gave the particulars of a. wretched case at Worcester, where a woman was confined •in an empty house, during the late frost, without coal, clothing, or food, and where her infant died, as it was alleged; through the indifference and neglect of the relieving officer of the union, a person named Crisp. Official inquiries have been made into the circumstances, by order of the Poor-law Commis sioners, who have sent-down to the Worcester Guardians their decision, which is, that the Guardians are to at once " call for and accept Crisp's resignation." The guardians have, however, positively refused to carry out the com missioners' intention, and are, therefore, placed a second time in antagonism with the commissioners, having pre viously declined to dismiss, at the command of the com missioners, the governor of the Workhouse. It remains, therefore, to be seen what steps the commissioners will take in consequence. The guardians are satisfied with the conduct of their officers. _ _ RAGGED SCHOOLS,—A writer (said to be Lord Ashley) in the last Quarterly Review, endeavours to make the community understand something of the nature and ob ject of, and necessity for, those " Ragged Schools," which have sprung up,. within the last four years, in many dis tricts of the metropolis. He says, that, though unable to obtain minute returns from every school, "We have ex amined fifteen schools, and find an amount of 2,345 children arid young persons between the ages of five and seventeen, with some few ep. older.

The recent discovery of a new planet (an event entirely new in the history of astronomy, and equalled only by the extraordinary prediction of Sir Isaac Newton, that the hardest and most valuable of our gems was vegetablesube stance) has been succeeded by another, and perhaps more extraordinary discovery in astronomy by Professor Mid ler, of Dorpat. By an extensive and laborious compari son of the quantities and directions of the proper motions of the stars in various parts of the heavens, combined with indications afforded by the parallexes hitherto deter mined, and with the theory of universal gravitation, Pro fessor Midler has arrived at the conclusion that the Pleiades for the central group of our whole astral or side ral system, including the Milky Way and all the brighter stars, but exclusive of the more distant nebulae, and of the stars of which those nebulte may be composed, and within he has been led to fix on the atc.. lillS central group ILSell am - -. 2 _ "AG oar Alcoyne (otherwise known by the name of Eta Tauri), as occupying exactly or nearly the position of the centre of gravity, and as entitled to be called the central sun. As suming Bessel's parallax of the star sixty-one Cygni, long since remarkable for its large proper motion, to be cor rectly determined, Miidler proceeds to form a first ap proximate estimate of the distance of this central body from the planetary or solar system ; and arrives at the (provisional) conclusion, that Alcoyne is about 34,000,000 times as far removed from us, or from our own sun, as the latter luminary is from us. It would therefore, ac cording to this estimation, be at least a million times as distant as the new planet, of which the theoretical or de ductive discovery has been so great and beautiful a tri umph of modern astronomy, and so striking a confirma tion of the law of Newton.

SIR,—Mr. Bramley-Moore, in his letter to Sir G. Grey on national education, says, that " there are in Liverpool 65,471 houses, assessed for £1,368,652, which, at 24d. in the pound, would produce £14,255 for the purposes of education, but of which £9,540 only can be realised." Now, sir, to extend these figures to the purposes of th e poor-rates, let us suppose the assessed property of the town to be £1.368,652, this, at 2s. Id. in the pound, (the poor rate for last year,) would bring £142,567 18s. 4d., of which the sum of £95,400 only is, or can, be realised, according to Mr. Moore's statement, leaving a balance of £47,167 18s. 4d. not accounted for, but from which de duct £7,167 18s. 4d., the maximum amount due from un occupied tenements, would still leave the enormous sam of £40,000 due to the parish on last year's assessment. Why is this ? Are the Collectors not able to get this. money ? If they are, let them see to it ; if not, let others be appointed—and the overseers must adopt effective measzires to obtain the 'outstanding debts before they at tempt to impose a rate to meet their present exigencies. If this money (and the rate in. future years) is properly collected, there will be no occasion for any additional rate to meet the wants of the parish r either for education or feeding Irish mendicants ; and if the Collectors were paid a commission instead of a fixed salary, I think greater ex ertions would be made to obtain the - outstanding rates. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, ;1 • Liverpool, January 22, 1877. . X. .[The data upon which the above calculation is made, are perfectly correct;" but it would be difficult to realise the writer's views with respect to the collection of the addi tional forty thousand pounds of rate, for reasons which we shall briefly state. In the first place, our correspondent does not sufficiently bear in mind the source from which ! the defalcation complained of originates. We have in this town upwards of 20:000 tenements—small cottage and court houses—inhabited chiefly by weekly tenants, which are included in the rated value above mentioned. From the occupiers of these tenements, mostly of w migratory class, and many not far removed from paupers,,it is found that the rates can only:be compulsorily levied and the expense of attempting so bc, levy them would be a loss ra ther than.a gain to the parish. A summons would cost 2s. in each case ; then there would be the loss of- time of officers attending to prove the amount due, afterwards the cost of a warrant and levy ; and, even could this expense be borne, the magistrates would decline to enforce the rate against such parties, who, if deprived of their few household articles, must become recipients of parish relief. Besides, it is physically impossible that the mere routine of compelling payment upon the entire assessment could, be got through. A hundred' , summonses would be the utmost- that could be heard in)a day, or 600 a week. It would= thus require 33 weeks te get through the list- Taking into consideration ' however, the additional* time which would be consumed by the bench in granting war-- rants, the whole business would occupy 40 weeks, before the expiration of which a new rate would be laid. Suppose, however, by way of example to the defaulters, the attempt were made for a few years, regardless of the certainty, that only loss would accrue to the parish. What would be the result ? We should have an overwhelming number of , the ignorant and half-pauper portion of our population placed upon the municipal and borough regis ters, who would have it in their power effectually to swamp the registration, and to do as they listed with the property of the burgesses. We cannot, however, enforce the pay ment from such parties ; and in whatever light we look at our position, we are in a cleft stick. We might f indeed, as in some other large towns, impose the onus of the rates upon the owners of property so te nanted. But here again we are met by e-difficulty, which we have already found to be insurmountable. The cot tage-owners are a sufficiently numerous body to defeat any attempt to procure a local act to render them liable. Looking, therefore, at the fact, that year by year fresh cottage erections are rising up within the borough, and that property, once respectably tenanted, is becoming virtually good cottage property, whilst the former occupiers of such good property are getting into the suburbs, the heavy im posts, now hanging over our heads, threaten to fall, at no distant period, principally upon 'the tradesmen and shop keepers, whose , avocations do not permit the same ready escape which is open to the wealthy merchant. This is surely a state of things which calls upon the le gislature itself to take the initiative in remedying. A go vernment measure to enforce upon the owners of every species of property a fulfilment of their public duties is the only resource left us. Last year the poor's rate col lected was 71 per cent. upon the gross assessment. With a double, or treble rate, which will be called for; we should not be greatly surprised if 50 per cent_ collected next year. The whole subject is w of the attention of the authorities and of the public-; and it must receive such.attention if the property of the borough is not to be confiscated, and a large number of its trades men and respectable inhabitants ruined. We believe that remedial measures are already under discussion by the parish authorities.] DISTRESS IN IRELAND TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD DEAR SIR,--I send you the following extract from a letter, received this morning, relative to the distress in Ireland. The writer speaks what he knows, anillestifies what he has seen, and few are more competent than a pro prietor, who has resided amongst his tenantry without in terruptlon for a period of thirty-two years and upwards, holding the commission of the peace for nearly th e en ti re of the time. The letter was written without any view to its publica. tion : but yielding to the suggestion of an influential friend, and anticipating the kind indulgence of the re- the extract to your readers, and am, dear sir, yours&e THOMAS NOLAN St. Barnabas' , Liverpool, January 25, 1847. " Cattlecooke, near Fertnoy, County Cork " I could scarcely pourtray the extreme destitution of this populous mountainous district,—no wheat, and ,all the potatoes and oats failed. The labouring classes and small farmers exist chiefly on turnips at 30s. per ton, and I contemplate with dismay the disappearance of them, which cannot be very distant. Meal and bread stuffs are quite out of their reach. You would not believe to the full extent the emaciated pallid appearance of the once stout peasantry, trying to stand out the day on the public works, while the unemployed, which are now about 250 in this locality, chiefly keep their beds, to cheat the cravings of hunger. I know them intimately, and; while I wonder how many exist, I admire their patience and forbearance. Poor people ! they never were accustomed to much comfort, and can bear their privations better than more pampered folk. If food, plentiful and. within the range of their means, be not supplied shortly, the loss Of life must be extensive. I fear the situation of this country, generally, is neither understood nor, believed in England. However, the Queen's speech, which I have read this moment, appears to indicate a strong wish to relieve us.. If something extensive, to provide subsistence at present and to insure the means of cropping in pro spective, Ile not enacted, the next year will.be worse than this to such as survive. May the Lord bless you, and bring us all through this severe though merited trial, is the fervent prayer of your sincere friend,. "WM.. C: COLLIS. " Rev.. Thomas Nolan." YELLOW RICE TO 'rug EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. B'll,-1 enclose an original receipt for yellow rice,. a, preparation, I believe, unknown in England. It is re markably cheap, as the quantity mentioned may, be made for 9d. If you think it likely to prove useful, beg you will make use of it, and believe me to, remain with sincere respect and esteem, AMICUS. Take one pound of rice, wash it clean, and put it into a saucepan which will hold three quarts, add to it half a pound of currants picked and washed, one quarter of an ounce of the best turmeric powder, previously dissolved in a cupful of water, and a stick of. cinnamon ; pour over them two quarts of cold water, place the saucepan unco vered on a moderate fire, and allow it to boil till the rice is dry, then stir in a quarter of a pound of sugar and two ounces of butter, cover up and place the pan near the fire for a few minutes, then mix it well and dish up. This is a very favourite dish with the Javanese, and will be found an excellent substitute for potatoes, with all roast meats, poultry, &c. It also forms a capital pudding, which may be improved by the addition of raisins an a toy blanched almonds. THE MERCURY'S PROF TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sin,—l cannot refrain, although a private individual, from bringing before the immediate notice of the public, and that through the means of your truly constitutional paper, an insertion, if I may so term it, which appeared in the Liverpool Mercury of Friday last, and which, by the editor's kind permission, found a place in the columns of that journal. It purports to be A New Translation of the 12th Chapter of the Ist Book of Chronicles ;" and under the titl e o f " b rochure " it conceals such a mixture of imaginary satire and - unblushing profaneness, as was perhaps never before given to the eyes of an enlightened public in. a Christian empire. What could have possibly been the object of the writer ) what the probable tendency of his production ? It might be be supposed th a t th e one was th e se i z i ng o f an unim peachable recor d o f ecc l es i ast i ca l hi s t ory , t o convey the irreverent phrases of a newspaper politician ; and it can not but be supposed that the other will ex ;ite i o n n t l e a h n ear in effable feeling of mingled contempt and e il n y of every true Christian, and every unflinchin g Y an dg uphoulndheereoj the sacred testimonies of Jehovin Joie a.— tatingly assert that it is profane, and that it must be offensive in the sight of God. Let party skirmishers in political matters at least confine themselves to the debat ing of such matters in the language usually adopted by the parliamentary speakers, and which is commonly seen in the broad sheet of the public press; but let them not have recourse to the floly Word of God to clothe their often malignant ideas, or breathe the sacred and inspired records of his sanctuary in the same breath with the angry declamations of the orators of the Council chamber. With the abstract consideration, of the matter in ques tion, as regards its political bearing, we have nothing to do ; but the effrontery which would plagiarise the very Scripture for such a purpose, merits justly the stern dis countenance of every lover of the Gospel, and is no way cre ditable to that paper whose pages have bee n its pass port to the eyes of the pubic.—l am, sir, &e. HOMO Liverpool, Jan. 16, 1847 [The preceding letter was omitted i . our paper a last week.] Jan. 26, Ig4t ROPOSED REMEDY FOR THE IRRUPTION O IRISH PAUPERISM INTO LIVEI4I,OOIi. We insert the . following letter which we have receiiea from. London, signed "An Old Naval Officer;" for the purpose of offering a few remarks upon the reconimendu , tion which it contains : 1, Landon, January 22, 1847. Stif f —Observing in the St. James's Chronicle art extract from your valuable paper, relating to the influx of paupers from Ireland into Liverpool, and sensible of the great evils' arising from it, not only to the population of your great commercial town, but, eventually, as adding to the great pressure of paupers here and other parts of the kingdom, I take the liberty of suggesting that the remedy lies in the power' of the Mayor and Corpolation of Liver pool, as also with the authokities of Glasgow, and other ports under similar circumstances, who, in such times as these, should act with some energy, and press upon the steam-packet companies . , and other owners, the necessity of giving strict orders to their captains to take no_paupers on board at the Irish , ports ; and if any are' found on board, on arrival in England, by the police authorities stationed for the purpose, the captaiq commanding such vessel should be charged irr his ac coun t w ith th e ma i n t e , ranee and expense of the return of such paupers by his , vessel. Unless this or some such plan is adopted the mis chief will go on, and the increa s i ng ev il must b e b orne as ' the - necessary result. Remaining your wg/-wisher, AN OLD' NAVAL OFFICER To tlit ,. _Editor of the Liverpool Standard. Our correspondent is doubtless aware that something very like his plan is adopted by the United States towards the commanders of vessels bringing. emigrants to their ports. In-every case of a ship arriving in New York, or any other American port, with passengers, the charterer or his agenth must give bond that he will either find em ployment for them or take them back—in other words, that he will. bear the city harmless for any charges to which the authorities may be put in respect-to them. In the case of packets bringing emigrants frotr Ireland, we have no power to• insist upon any regulation-of this kind, that country being an integral portion of the British empire. With an efficient poor-law for Ireland we might pass them back to the parish from which the.?g sailed, as is done with paupers in our own country. Ai' arrange ment of the kind proposed between steam-packet compa nies and their captains, is, we fear, out of the question, an offer having been already made by our authorities to take the decks of all steamers plying from Ireland'to- Liver pool, and refused by the companies. LIVERPOOL CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCH - 00t SOCIETY. I TO THE EDITOR OP TITE LIVERPOOL STATMARD. SlR, — The report of this valuable institution f0r1.846 has been lately published, and I am anxious that the following extract should be brought prominently before the clergy, who, in my humble judgment, have not given to the society the support it deserves, nor the support originally promised to it : " "In presentinothe tenth'. Report of th e proceedings of the Liverpool Church of England School Society, the Comilittee are enabled to state that in consequence of the' increased amount of the Congregational ColleCtions, the funds of the Society are in a - better condition than they were in last year. In 1845 . - the Collections were 'only £l4O 4s. 7d. from nine Churches'; and in 1846 they , amount to £289 Bs. 3d. from thirteen Churches. They return their very grateful acknowledgments to those Cler-l' gymen who have preached and made Collections, and' take this opportunity of stating that the continuance of the-Society in anything like a state of efficiency, seems to depend, under Providence, entirely upon the exertions of the Clergy, and the success of their Church Collections. If the Clergy are able to preachlnd make Church Collec tions, and increase the funds by soliciting Annual Sub scriptions, the Schools can be *maintained ; if not, it is hardly possible to imagine how-'Schools in such poor neighbourhoods as Broad-street and Naylor-street can be kept up at all, as the Congregations -are of course quite in competent to maintain them. They trust, therefore, that the Clergy will kindly continue to bring the Society an nually before their Congregations, and so continue to assert the great and important .principle of Scriptural Education for the labouring Poor err-tire Principles of the Church, of England." T have always looked upon church-collections as a vegy desirable as well as very easy mode- of levying contribu tions for charitable purposes ; and a ft er the acnowledg ment in the above extract, and the great good which has resulted from a few extra collections, I trust that the present year will see a great accessi on o f church contribu tions. lam not too bold in suggesting that there ought to be collections at half the churches in Liverpool this year, and at the other half next year.;,indeed, I think it would be well if the committee sent a. copy of the above extract to every clergyman in Liverpool and its neigh bourhood, calling his particular attention to it.—yours, &c. A LAYMAN. iiverpool, January 23, 1847. THE STARVING IRISH • Newton Saville, Augher, Tyrone, Ireland, 1911 s January, 1847. MY DEAR MR. GROVES,—I canal% rarely command a moment's leisure that I have been. unavoidably pre vented giving you an earlier account of our proceed ings in relieving the wants of the suffering poor in this locality; whose cause you have so kindly espoused. I have now to report that since the severe frost we have solely supported thirty families, comprising 139 persons, giving them twice each week as much meal as they.- required to sustain them. We have one or more of some of these families employed planting trees, gathering stones, or any work we find convenienf, to encourage industrious habits. We h ave b een for several weeks giving soup daily to about 100 persons, and I have purchased a supply of turnips which 1 sell at a low price- Added to this I continue to purchase weekly half a ton of meal (generally from Londonderry), and. after supplying the families who have nothing but labour to give in return, I sell it. at a reduced price to the poor men who are em ployed on the public works, an accommodation every dal becoming more valued, as the price of provisions now is fearful, and seems to become worse daily. O ur rulers have surely been criminally culpable in•not devising means to remedy this dreadful evil. Only think of pour men leaving their homes at five o'clock on a cold winter's morning,. aftei• a breakfast of meal gruel, walking front four to six miles to be in time for their work, working the entir&day till dusk, and then returning the same distance to their wretched comfortless homes, and half-starved fa milies, suffering such fearful toil for 9d.. or 10d. a day, whilst is sold at 2s. 4d. to 25.. 6d. a peck ! Their sufferings beggar all description. Many of the men live on turnips in order to leave the scanty supply of meal they can purchase for their children. Wives starve themselves to feed their husbands to enable them to work, and I knout many cases where the nourishment. for infant children was dried up from such self-denial in mothers. To crown all the public works are now stopped. The money presented for at the last sessions all expended, and many persons who were before able from their weekly earnings to come to me and pay for meal, now come in their last extremiti to , beg me to save them from starvation f Could I refuse appeals like this, when I know their st a te men t s t o b e t r ue • Thanks to your kind exertions, I , have been enabled to effect an immense amount of good, and I have done a° the more extensively, with the expectation that the ma:, jority of those now dependa n t o n me would be taken o 0 my hands last week by the Landlord, who is expendiD% £630 in drainage, but to my surprise I am told not oil° of them is to be employed by him. This disappointment has filled me with dismay, as yott may well suppose our funds are almost exhausted, thong}, I have made every exertion in my power to husband nif resources, but despite all economy of management another . week will nearly finish our supply of meal, on which I pended all the funds remaining. My private means, O P which my family are d epen di ng f or months to come firtr„ almost swall owe d up i n th e same vortex,—and aft er so,;i if my poor people are now, to starve they might as wed' have done so at the onset.. I have given no meal since last Friday, but to a few.of my former pensioners who live on the property of a very wealthy, but most _penuriou o proprietor, who is doing nothing wh a t ever. Retrenc h' ment should be commenced, and I sought to throw ther° on him for support. What has been the result ? Thel have not tasted food since yesterday morning, ex ce pt the food given here to those members of the family employe': Now I must g i ve t h em meal to-night or they must stay' Such is . the way I am led to keep up so large a nurnberi My mind and body. are almost worn out. I knew 11° where td turn, and, the very fact oftlgse persons_ being hitherto emPl a y e d by me shut s theft/Pout from. othe urces. nr . l felt called upon to state to you simply and truly th e esent state and prospects of our famishing peoele.
