THIS exquisite SAUCE is positively a New Year's 1 Gift, with it the finny tribe acquires a novel attraction to cur taste; no more hot and cold meat, chops or steaks, can be served before our appetite, unless the general influence of Soyer's Relish is spread over it ; poultry is much benefitted by the piquancy of this new condiment, and amateurs of Game will find the Relish an indispensable adjunct to their taste—in fact Sayer's Relish is the great gift of the age, and truly a re novation to slumbered eppetite—the Observer says, "M. Sayer is a culinary artist as profound as he is versatile, nothing comes amiss to him. No foreign eztisixier ever tickled the Saxon palate so successfully. He is a great man, and the 11l cooked mutton chops that lost Napoleon the battle of Leipsic, would have produced a very different effect if Sayer had dished them up from his Stove,' and rendered them thoroughly light and digestible by•his appetising 'Relish.'"

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c. ATILNER'S "HOLDFAST" and FIRE-RESIST INGIII SAFES are the strongest, hest, and cheapest safe guard in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; MOW) f them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their superl ority to any o..hers. Five of them have brought their contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow alone this year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt out. Twenty-five offices were burn:: out in Lincoln's-inn in January, in one alone of w hi c h th e t i t ' e- d eeds of th i rty large landed estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved in Milner's Safes.

"" Woollen Merchant, Ne w -B rown -street, and Market -street. Messrs. Milner and Son." In the numerous accidental fires and experimental tests which Milner's Safes have been exposed to, every description of safe to ,use—fireproof (so called) or otherwise—have been burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the scientific and practical authorities who have tested them ; and the Patentees, during seven years' active working of their patent, on a rapidly extending ,scale, have snared no pains.nor cost in effectingimprovements, by which they are enabled to pledge themselves rL all times to supply the most complete and secure depositories for books, documents, and valuables; including the strongest wrought-iron safes and closets in the world, lined with their unequalled fire-resisting chambers. Out of upwards of 20,000 of their safes in use amongst the manufacturing and commercial houses in Great Britain —the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of severe trial in accidental fires have occurred, from which Thomas Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they are of opinion that no other safe than their own would have preserved iZt4 contents unburnt : Fire at Mr.J.B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Sparling street, Liverpool • a strong and fierce fire; safe most severely burnt outside; contents unsinged. Fire at Messrs. J. and W.

THIS eminent Chemist's remarks on the awful extent and fearful results attendant upon the adulteration of that article of almost hourly consumption, Bread, will be seen in most of the leading journals of last week. Had this state ment emanated from almost any other than the Doctor himself, we should have been very sceptical on the-matter, as, from the present price of Flour, (to say nothing of honesty and right mindedness,) there is a fair ri.ncr sufficient remuneration to deter, one would think, even.the most avaricious from resorting to practices so pernicioos" to his fellow-man.

ON the 28th of August last, an experimental line of wire, twenty-five miles in length, measuring, with its covering of gutta percha, only half an inch in diarr::cr, was successfully submerged in th e Ch anne l , b etween Dover and Cape Grisnez, and communications from England to France were printed by the Telegraph, which are now in the possession of the President of the French Republic. The submersion of the wire, and the actual printing of the messages, having proved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, the practicability and certainty of the undertaking, it now only remains to lay down a number of Permanent wires in a protective covering of adequate strength to ensure them against accident. The experimental wire was not expected to bear a strain of more than from 100ibs. to 2001b5., whereas the combined strength of the Lines about to be laid down are cal , culated to be sufficient to resist the anchors of large vessels. These wires will each afford a distinct line of Telegraphic intercourse, connecting Great Britain with France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, and other parts of the Continent, whereby ultimately an universal and instantaneous communication throughout the whole of Europe will be established. One great feature in this undertaking is the advan tages it will offer to India and America. By the agency of a single wire, the news by the India Mail, on its arrival at Trieste or Marseilles, may be delivered, printed in Roman type, simultaneously at Paris and London, and at Liverpool, in readiness for ths departure of the American Mail ; while the remaining lines of wir' may at the same in stant be conveying intelligence between Great Britain and the other countries of Europe. Mr. Jacob Brett has obtained from the French Government a concession, signed by the President of the Republic, of which the following are the principal provisions : An authority to establish a Submarine Telegraph between the coasts of France and England. The working of this undertaking, to the exclusion of every other of a similar description, for a period of ten years, from the let October, 1851. The following letter from the Minister of the Interior will afford additional proof of the privileges granted by the French Government " Sir,—The nrst article of the decree, giving you permission to establish an Electric Telegraph between the coasts of France and England, determines, according to your own pro position, those parts of the coast of France where it is to be laid down; but the Government does not reserve to itself any right to grant a similar concession upon any other part of its shores.—We clearly understand that for a period of ten years you are entitled—to the exclusion of all others—to establish this triode of communication between France and England. (Signed) "J. DUFAURE, Minister of the Interior. "To Jacob Brett, Esq." The several departments of the English Government, viz. the Admiralty, the Treasury, the Woods and Forests, the Board of Trade. and the Foreign Office, have, expressed their approba tion of the undertaking, and their readiness to afford every facility for carrying out its objects in the most efficient manner. It is proposed to vest the Concessions in a Public Company, to named the " Submarine Telegraph Company." f or w hi ch a Royal Charter has been obtained. The Capital to consist of 103,CG0 Shares of 1 each ; one fourth of such Shares to be appropriated as paid-up Shares to the Concessionaires and Patentees, in consideration of the transfer and assignment of the concessions and privileges granted by the French Government, and for the necessary license to use the patents. It is intended to'issue only 50,000 of the remaining Shares, in the first instance, the allottees of which will be required to pay up the full amount of such Shares on allotment; and as the Company is incorporated, they will be protected from fur ther liability. The audits of the Company will be managed by a Board of Directors, to be elected by the Shareholders, under the pro visions of a Deed to be signed by the Shareholders; which Deed is to be prepared according to the form required by the Royal Charter of Incorporation granted to this Company. The Plans, accompanied by AD. Cubltt's Report, have been lodged with the French Government, and the necessary amount of caution money deposited. The proposed Capital Is amply sufficient for the purpo ses required, parties having Tendered for the Works within the amount ; but power is given by the Charter to increase the Capital, if necessary, by the issue of new Shares, to se2CO,OOO.

At a Meeting held in St. James' School-room, on the 28th of October, 1845, for the purpose of devising some means for re lieving the great spiritual destitution which existed in that district, the following facts were stated, viz.:—" That in the united districts of St. James' and St. Thomas', Toxtetb, the population amounted to 37,149 ; the entire Church accommo dation, 1834 Sittings; and that of these, only 8S were Free Sit tings for the Poor." Deploring this state of things and determined to remedy it, a number of the most respectable Merchants and Clergy of Liverpool formed themselves into a Committee, and resolved to build and endow three new Churches in the district. St. Matthew's (the only one attempted) has never been completed. It was opened for divine service in 1849 by license, and has been kept open since, together with the Schools attached to it, to a considerable extent, byyrivate means. Unfinished, unconsecrate ~ A inendowed, and without a pas toral district, the Churr,,h labours under difficulties which ought not to exist. CONTRIB,f4S ALREADY AERNOWLEDGED. The Rev.

THE COMMITTEE have much sa ti s f ac ti on i n announcing that the difficulties which have hitherto prevented their proceeding with the erectioh of the Church are now overcome, and that, encouraged by the sanction of the Bishop of the Diocese in the selection of the site and the appointment of the Minister, they intend commencing at once with the building; and the Committee gladly avail themselves of this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging the kind service of his Lordship in personally inspecting the neigh bourhood and bringing matters to so satisfactory an issue. The design selected is calculated to afford accommodation for 1,039 sittings, of which 264 are free; and whilst due regard has been given to economy, the Committee have been guided by the desire to erect a Church, which, while affording suitable accommodation fer so rapidly-increasing a neighbourhood, should also, in its architectural features, be found an ornament to the district.

PROPOSED BUILDING OF SCHOOLS FOR THE NEW PARISH OF ALL SAINTS, LIVERPOOL. Mills Par:sh contains a population of more than .1. 8000 inhabitants; the total number of Children is about 2650, of which number 800 only attend some Daily School, and 600 attend Sunday Schools. There being at present no adequate provision for the instruc tion of the Childi en of the Poor within the boundaries of this pophlous Parish, it is proposed to erect Schools for the recep tion of Sunday, Daily, and Infant Scholars, at a cost •f about '2500, inclusive of land, and the aid of a benevolent Christian public is earnestly solicited. It will, doubtless, be in the recollection of many, that the old All Saints Church, situate in Grosvenor-street, being pri vate property, passed into tbe'hands of the Roman Catholics towards the close of the veer 1844, when its congregation was scattered, and the Schools were broken up; and on the ap pointment of the present Incumbent, the Rev. Henry Marlen, in 1847, there was neither Church nor Public School provided for the accommodation of the people committed to his charge. In the year 1548 a new Church was built in Great Nelson street North, out of the funds of the Liverpool Church Boiling Society, and the district of All Saints was thereby constituted a new Parish for Ecclesiastical purposes, under the Act 6 and 7of Victoria. The body o f th e Churchi being free, affords ample accommodation for the poor adult population; but the means of instruction for their Children, up to this present, have been but partially provided for. The only Public Schools in the Parish are those belonging to the Roman Catholic Chapel alluded to above, and the Sunday Schools and Daily School for Girls more recently established in connexion with the new Parish Church of All Saints • there being no Daily instruction provided for either Boys or Infants of the Protestant community resident within the Parish. The Committee of the existing Schools, together with other Members of the Congregation •f All Saints', viewing, with deep concern, the insufficient means provided for the religious instruction of the rising generation, have resolved, in h um bl e dependence on the Di vine blessing, 'to make a strenuous effort for the raising of Funds for the Building of New Schools, and have commenced their labours by making their first appeal to the inhabitants of the Parish. Those who have already been waited on, have cheerfully responded according to their ability; and even the Poor, by their weekly contributions, have mani fested a readiness to lend a helping hand to forward the good work. But since the great mass of population of the Pa rish consists of Working Mechanics, Dock Porters, and other Operatives, it would be boneless to expect to realise so impor tant an object as the Building of Schools adequate to the wants of this populous neighbourhood, without the aid of those whom God, in his good providence, has been pleased to place under more advantageous circumstances. The Committee, therefore, without further delay, unhesita tingly lay before the Public the urgent claims of this Parish on their Christian sympathy, in the earnest hcpe that the Nobility and Gentry, the Merchants and Tradesmen, of the Town of Liverpool, who so liberally contributed to make provision for the Adult population by the erection of a commodious Church in the midst of the Parish, will not refuse to aid them in their endeavour to give efficiency to that Church, by the addition of Schools, in which the Children of the Poor may receive a sound Scriptural Education, be trained to habits of industry, and thereby become good and useful members of society.

A correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, wr iti ng from San Francisco, gives the following description of the social state of California This country has been the scene of great excitement during the last month, origin ating in the number of murders, assaults, and robberies that have recently been committed. Highway robbery and " cattle lifting are carried on as " wholesale" and as common as they were in Scotland in the days of Rob Rov. Ranches or farms everywhere are attacked, rifled of all available means, and deprived of their horses and cattle by gangs of robbers. Cut-throats parade the fre quented passes watching for their prey ; and our very cities and towns are plundered right and left. The most cold-blooded murders are of frequent occurrence ; but the day of revenge has arrived. In this and many other parts of the country, immense mob meetings Lave been held to consider the prop r i e ty o f b r i ng i ng th e accused in all cases to immediate trial, instead of abiding the delay of the law courts, and allowing criminals to go at large on giving bail. The cry is, away with statute and common law—away with corrupt courts and packed juries —down with our filching ' city fathers' and bribed officials, and three cheers for Judge Lynch. In San Jose the capital, and in Sacramento and other places mob law was carried into execu' ion before our houses of legislature and the city officials. The mob compelled the au th or i t i es to hand over the accused to be tried by them—juries were chosen, counsel were appointed and the cases tried. If found guilty, sentence is executed within half-an-hour of conviction. If to be hung, the criminal is strung up in the most conspicuous part, where the body is ordered to remain for twenty-four hours, a fearful warning to the assassin and the robber. Here, as iniother places, the mob was led by th e l ea di ng merchants and most influential citizens, but the city authorities re fused to yield to the populace. There was, however, no rash act in consequence. They merely t oo k fi rm stand to see justice done and speedily exocated, and t o watc h over the law courts and city authorities with a jealous eye. The demonstrations will do good, though they were only to teach the courts and authorities that life and property must be protected, in order that Lynch-law may be avoided." With regard to the mines the same writer says :—" The news from the mines has recently been of a very encou raging nature. New mines continue to be discovered, and larger lumps found. One of the last discovered mines was lately sold for 130,000 dollars. On the beds of the rivers and streams the miners are particularly success ful. Should the season continue dry, they will be able to work the beds of the river without damming, (which will be a great saving,) to great advantage. A new feature in the business of gold mining has lately been introduced in the shape of dredging machines, which are used on the rivers where the water is too deep to procure the earth from the bottom by other means. Two small steamers have been engaged for a short time past in dredgirg the bed of the Yaba river. The results of the first efforts which were made are reported as quite satisfactory, and have induced others to enter into similar speculations. I understand it is proposed to get up mining companies in England to work the quartz mines of California, and that several large lumps of gold bearing the quartz have been sent home as specimens." Mr. Halliday, builder, Kirkcudbright, had a swarm of bees from one of his hives, on Monday, the 26th ult. It is said there are 400,000 feathers upon the wing of a silkworm moth. It is said that the London and North-Western Railway have already issued 36,000 tickets for Exhibition visitors for this week. " As THE OLD COCK CROWS THE YOUNG ONE LEARNS."—.Not always.

THE " GLORIOUS FIRST OF JUNE."— Mr. William Burk, who, when the admiral's flag was carried away by the enemy's shot, recovered it during the action, and planted it on the broken stump of the mast, still survives. The gallant veteran resides at Stonehouse, near Plymouth, and is in his 82nd year.—United Service Gazette. EARTHQUAKES IN MAJORCA.—We find, in the Paris journals, of Friday, the following :—" Some rather violent shocks of earthquake were felt in the night of the 14th ult. at Palma, Majorca. The atmosphere was observed to be very heavy throughout the day, with occasional flashes of lightning. Towards night there was a heavy peal of thunder, after which several shocks of earthquake, each of which lasted from four to five seconds, were felt. A. number of the houses were more or less injured, and seve ral steeples of churches were thrown down. At Soller and Valdemosa the shocks were felt more violently, and much mischief was done. The account makes no mention of any loss of life, with the exception of one man, who appears to have died from fright a quarter of an hour after the shocks had terminated," PENDLE-HILL, LANCASHIRE.—On Pemlle-hill, Clithe roe, stands Malkin Tower, that in 1633 was much cele brated as being the resort of witches ; and at one time seventeen poor wretches were condemned for having held meetings there with the devil, though upon subsequent scrutiny the verdict was set aside, and they had the good fortune to escape the hangman's clutches. A witness swore h saw them go into a barn and pull at six lopes, down which fell smoking flesh, butter in lumps and milk as it were flying from the said ropes, all falling into six ba sins pieced beneath. On the top of this hill, which is ex tensive and somewhat fenney, stand two large cairns about a mile distant from each other. Pennant conjec tures that they were the ruins of some ancient speculce, or beacon-towers erected by Agricola after the conquest of the country.—The Book of the Months. THE ANTIQUITY OF THE STOCKS.—The time when stocks were first used in England does not appear ; but :in the second Statute of Labourers, 25 Edward 111., A.D. 1350, in the octave of the Purification, it is enacted, that refractory artificers shall be put in the stocks by the lords, stewards, bailiffs, or constables of the town where their offence has been committed within three days, or sent to the next gaol, there to justify themselves ; and that stocks be made in every town for such occasion be tween that time and the feast of Pentecost. In 1376 the commons prayed the king for their establishment in every village. In " King Lear," act ii , scene 2, Shakspeare has introduced the stocks upon the stage. Farmer, com menting upon the passage, says—" It should be remem bered that formerly in great houses, as still in some col leges, there were moveable stocks for the correction of the servants." The last pair of stocks seen in London re mained till within these few years in Portugal-street, Lin coln s-inn -fields. A whipping -post usually adjoined the stocks. QUAKER PERSECUTORS.—" Friends" often claim for themselves credit for being free from the sin of persecution; and therefore it is that I relate this, my experience, of their tender mercies. Sad stories have been told me of the misery and d es tit u ti on w hi c h " F rien d s " have unpity ingly caused to others who have offended them. One young man, for "neglecting to bear his testimony against an hireling minist r y, b y sa ff er i ng hi mself to be joined in marriage by a p r ie s t," was d epr i ve d of property amounting to fifteen thousand pounds. Another for the same un pardonable offence, died for want of proper food and clo thing, whilst hi s p aren t s ro ll e d to meet i ng in their carriage. think it was O'Connell who said, " that one fact was worth a cart-load of arguments." Ido not feel at all competent to argue; but I can supply an abundant store more of facts, if those I have already narrated are not con sidered sufficiently demonstrative of my assertion, that Quakers, as a sect, are unrivalled in their vindictive per secution of those, who once belonging to their body, have dared to separate, either from conscience sake, or from any other m otive. — Quakerism, by a Female Member of the Society for forty years. MAKING TEA.—Dr. Lardner, in his treatise on tea, remarks that vessels intended to contain a liquid at a higher temperature than the surrounding medium, and to keep that liquid as long as possible at the higher tem perature, should be constructed of materials which are the worst radiators of heat. The tea-urns and tea-pots are best adapted for their purpose when constructed of polished metal, and worse when constructed of black porcelain. A black porcelain tea-pot is tLe worst con ceivable material for that vessel, for both its materials and colour are good radiators of heat, and the liquid con tained in it cools with the greatest possible rapidity. On the other hand, a bright metal tea-pot is best adapted for the purpose, because it is the worst radiator of heat, and therefore cools as slowly as possible. A polished silver or brass tea-urn is better adapted to retain the heat of the water than one of a dull brown colour, such as is commonly used. A tin kettle retains the heat of water boiled in it more effectually, if it be kept clean and polished, than if it be allowed to collect the smoke and soot, to which it is exposed from the action of the fire. When coated with this, its surface becomes rough or black, and is a powerful radiator of heat. THE " PUBLIC VISIBLE" AND " Ilvv - rsinLE".—/ have lived long enough to find out that there are two Publics— a Public invisible, with " airy tongues that syllable men's names," much quoted in newspapers, much referred to by members of Parliament,—and another Public that is visible and tangible, that we meet in street and club, in market and shop ; and I cannot say I find this latter Public of the same mind as that first-mentioned and mythical Public, with which neither you nor I, nor any creature of flesh or blood, ever comes into positive con tact. I have as wide a range of acquaintance as most people, amongst all ranks and all classes; and whether I talk with the statesman, the man of the world, the ab struse thinker whose task it is to master these topics, or with the merchant, th e man o f b us i ness, and theintelli gent tradesman, I find a very large propoi iion who are in favour, certainly not of prohibitory duties, not of a rever sal of the general policy involved in our tariffs, but of a moderate fixed duty upon foreign grain. And mo reover , amongst those not in favou r o f attempting such a modifi cation of the law, I find at least half who are far fi•om disliking the notion of that said fixed d u t y i n itself,—far from doubting its beneficial effects, if it could be carried ; but who merely doubt whether that animula ragula, that incorpoyeal essence, the other Publi c , w il l be disposed to accept it. And, though it may se em strange to persons yl poblio and might less acquainted with the inc onsistencies of mankind th an it has been my prof essional lot, as a writer, to make my self, I positively aver, th a t among those who, thus seen in the ca streets talkedso f w av it o l r i i n t, tr l a fi n n q d ui n l o no s o m k u s i , l e n i u th m e: favour a fi xe d d uty altogether, or wish the oth er meta phsi ber of the very men who enjoy, by votes in Parliament or paragraphs in print, the reputation of being " sensible and enlightened," and go the whole loaf with Mr. Cob den ! The Corn -law settled ! No ! Free-traders and Protectionists a lik e f ee l i n their heart of hearts that it i s not settled; that it is not in the power of this Parliament to settle it. Many large portions of the constituent body, many agriculturists themselves, were induced, by the calculations of great authorities, to consent to what was called an experiment. Those calculations have been tested ; and it is now no t on th e speculative probabilities, but on the experiment itself, that the agriculturists at least to decide on the nature of its fulfilment. "I t is one w de it s h ire fa to ith pa i s n s t t h h e e ir p o ra pn p i h i e o c n y .
