The business of the assizes at Liverpool is protracted, because of the large num ber of cases coming from the hundred of Salford. It is comparatively insignificant at Lancaster, be cause of the absence of those cases. The average cost of prosecutions at Liverpool, the bulk of which are serious cases from the manufacturing districts, cannot fairly be measured by the cost of the petty cases " from the remoter hundreds of Blackburn, Leyland, Amounderness, and Lonsdale," ordinarily tried at Lancaster, and which are in general such as we should here dispose of at sessions. It should be shown that our own serious cases would be more cheaply disposed of at Lancaster, with the additional amount of business which would be caused by the removal to that place of the Manchester causes, than at Liverpool ; but that, we apprehend, it would be difficult to show. Most of the other alleged ad vantages of the former town, too, are such as would disappear in a similar way when the business be came divided ; and one alleged evil—the necessity of lawyers, witnesses, police-officers, &c., attending the whole period of the assize—does not exist ; for in most cases, where numerous witnesses are re quired, a day of hearing is fixed, and attendance on that day only is necessary. One statement of the petitioners is so ludicrous, that, lest we should be thought to have drawn upon imagination in giving it, we copy the ipsissinza verba.

The ordinary forms of the law 115bband tribunal, or the blood stained han with which it rikes at its victims '1 lie missives f O'Connell cannot influence them, Our good neighbours of the town of Manchester have occasionally very extraordinary fancies, and extraordinary modes of evincing them ; but the most startling fancy of theirs, which we have re cently met with, is one which has developed itself during the past week, in a proposal to remove the assize business of the hundred of Salford from Li verpool back to Lancaster ! Every body must na turally imagine that the arrangement, made a few years back, by which the assize business of the southern division of the county is transacted at Li verpool was one likely to conduce greatly to the ad vantage and convenience of the entire community affected by it, and to promote the cheap and speedy administration of justice. At the time when this arrangement was made, the people of Manchester were as sanguine, with respect to its benefits, as were the people of this town. But a change came temper and • spirits of our neighbours. Easily approachable as was Liverpool, by railways, from all parts of the county, it was contended that Manchester ought to have assizes of her own ; that it was beneath the dignity of her attorneys, wit nesses, policemen, and other frequenters of courts of law, to have to travel to Liverpool, and remain, pos sibly a week or two, out of the hearing of anti-corn law agitation, and the warmth and luxury, (to them), of an atmosphere of mingled smoke and steam. Fussy lawyers and local patriots were indignant at the thought that for any thing—even a sentence of transportation or the treadmill—the town of Man chester should be dependent upon Liverpool; and the issue of months of this kind of vapouring was an unsuccessful application to her Majesty in coun cil, to permit the causes and prisoners from the hundred of Salford to be tried at the New Bailey Court-house. even if ly suppose that those missives At length we are delighted to observe that an effort, worthy of being called such, is being made to liberate from his long and dreary confinement that tried friend of the people, and of the constitution of his country,—RICHARD OASTLER. At such a crisis as the present, the loss of the services of such a man is a national calamity. Every groan of the wretched pauper in his bastile prison —every pang of the suffering factory child—every cry of op pressed humanity within the realm—appeal to the hearts of Englishmen to be up and stirring in the endeavour—and what a paltry one it is for a nation ! —to strike the fetters from the limbs and the soul (for such slavery shrivels the limbs and the soul both) of the man best fitted to contest successfully in a cause so high and holy. Already, as will be seen by an advertisement in our columns this day, the attempt, in his own immediate neighbourhood, has been made, and attended by a considerable amount of success; and measures are being taken to bring the claims of this honest and sincere patriot, and friend of the human race, before the consideration of the public of Liverpool. A meeting, to carry out the success of this effort, is, we understand, shortly to be held in Liverpool, at which Mr. Walter, of the London Times, Mr. Ferrand, M.P., and other distinguished friends of Mr. Oastler, and advocates of the same good cause, will be present ; and we do not, we are confident, so far underrate the attach ment of our fellow townsmen to those principles, for which Mr. Oastler has suffered, as to fear that we are wrong, in predicting that the response to an appeal in his favour will be worthy of .this loyal and Conservative town. are dictated in s' Juries cannot convict ere witne not give evidence.

The cause list was divided, and precedence given to causes from the hundred of Salford. Every other practical facility was offered, and, with a liberality not, it would appear, sufficiently estimated, we sat about the construction of the magnificent building now erecting, on the site of the Old Infirmary, for CAUTION TO ENGLISH REPEAL WARDENS.—The in solence and faithlessness of the Irish mendicant and traitor have often been exhibited towards those of his dupes whom he could illtreat with supposed impunity ; and an instance of these qualities is this day to be found in our columns. A party in Pr scot (whose name will be seen appended to a letter addressed to the former object of his idolatry—Daniel), in the fullness of his heart, in_ dited, and printed, we suppose, a placard address to the Homan catholics in his locality ; and with the pride of authorship strong within him, forwarded his production to O'Connell himself.

Had he his produc tion returned, with a paternal rebuke, to be treasured in• all his after life, as a mark of the notice of him by a great man? Not that either ! our correspondent—repeal warden as he was—had his placard simply enclosed to the inspector of police at Prescot—a tolerably fair hint to that functio nary that a prosecution of the writer would be very proper ! Such conduct—such treachery we may ca ll it—requires no comment of ours. Let it be a hint to Englishmen, whatever their politics, to trust Daniel for the future as little as possible.

The assize business of the southern division of the county will not come to Manchester; but our friends will not have it stay in Liverpool. It cannot come nearer, and therefore—most unma themati' al and illogical conclusion !—it must be re moved further away, to the town of Lancaster ! The grounds, alleged by the Law Association of Manchester, for this apparently strange course, are some of them specious enough and forcible—if true. It is urged that the criminal business at Lancaster does not extend over more than two or three days, whilst at Liverpool it occupies two or thrce weeks ; and, as criminal cases are tried indiscriminately throughout the assizes, that attorneys and witnesses are compelled to attend during the whole period, at a considerable increase of expense, which would not be the case were the Manchester portion of the cases transferred to Lancaster. The grand jury, too, it is said, are detained four or five days at Liverpool, whilst at Lancaster their business is generally ter minated in one day. Again, it is said that the cost of prosecutions at Liverpool is much greater than at Lancaster; and much stress is laid upon the incon venience, to the police, of a protracted absence from their duties. JOHN GLADSTONE, ESQ., & DR. CHALMERS The public, north of the Tweed, have recently been fa voured with copies of a correspondence between Mr. Gladstone and the venerable leader of the non-intrusion party, Dr. Chalmers, which, as it tends to exhibit, in somewhat striking colors, the present attitude of the Rev. Doctor with respect to the Church of which he was once a most illustrious member and champion, and the friends by whom he was once looked up to with almost unlimited confidence, we propose to give here, in substance at least, to our readers. The facts of the case upon which the gentlemen in ques tion came into collision we shall give as briefly as we can, from the more detailed statement of them contained in Mr. Gladstone's letters to the rev. gentleman and to the editor of the Montrose Review. Impressed with a sense of the want of church accommodation prevailing in Leith (his native town), Mr. Gladstone proposed supplying that want by the erection there of a new church, at his own expense ; and knowing Dr. Chalmers personally, he applied to him for advice,as to the best mode to carry out his views, premising to him that the only condition on which he should proceed would be that the patronage should be se cured to himself and his heir s, subject, as in similar cases, to the legitimately authorized laws and regulations of the Church of Scotland. The inducing reason of this stipula tion, on the part of Mr. Gladstone, was to prevent bicker ings and dissension among the congregation upon the sub ject of the election of a minister, two instances having then recently occurred in Leith, where, the patronage beirg in the hands of the people, division had arisen, which, in both cases, terminated in appeals to the Court of Session. Dr. Chalmers expressed his approbation of the " inten tions, conditions, and motives" of Mr. Gladstone; ex pressed his confidence of their being agreed to by the Ge neral Assembly, and offered his support " without condi tion or qualification," on two distinct occasions. On the faith of these assurances and promised support, co/itrmed at many interviews, Mr. Gladstone purchased.lnd at Leith, on which he built the church proposed by him. Here, then, was the position of Mr. Gladstone and Dr. Chalmers respectively up to the year 1842. Dr. Chalmers had, in the first instance, given his assurance of support to the principle, upon which Mr. Gladstone proposed the erection of his new church in Leith. Re lying upon that assurance, the latter gentleman had erected and endowed, at an expense of about £lO,OOO, the Church of St. Thomas, a manse, and two school houses. The application to the General Assembly, for a confirmation of his rights of patronage, was supported by Dr. Chalmers, on the 27th of May, 1839, in a speech which contained the remarkable expression that " the question of patronage he treated as did Gulliver the question of big ends and little ends. He did not care what end of the egg was uppermost; what he wanted was to vet at the egg." Subsequently to the confirmation of his right of patronage, Mr. Gladstone, at the expense of another £lO,OOO, added to the Church of St. Thomas, and endowed, "an asylum for receiving and supporting a limited number of females suffering from complaints con sidered to be incurable; " and the spiritual interests of these females, together with the schools, being entrusted mainly to the superintendence of the minister of St. Thomas, rendered their founder still more anxious for the preservation of his privilege of exercising the right of presentation, which, in two instances, he has already done to the full satisfaction of the new parish, which had thus been formed by him. Thus situated, the lapse of Dr. Chalmers—his adviser, and author of the guarantee upon the faith of which he had benevolently expended no less than £20,000,—t0 the non patronage party, which regards an established church as "a nuisance to be swept away," excited, naturally, some amazement and misgiving in the mind of Mr. Gladstone. The Doctor, he began to see, had "got his egg"—the £2o,ooo—treating, "as did Gulliver the question of big ends and little ends,"—the promised perpetuity of Mr. Gladstone's patronage—withiperfect contempt ! He was now clamouring, with Candlish and the rest of the voluntaries, for the abolition of that very patronage which he had assisted in giving to the founder of St. Thomas ; and under these circumstances, on the 6th of June, 1842, Mr. Gladstone addressed to the rev. agitator a letter, recalling to his mind all the circumstances which we have detailed above, and putting the following home questions " I beg to enquire how and in what manner you pro pose to indemnify me for the right and interest you are thus most actively using all your powers and influence to deprive me of? What have I done to merit such treat ment at your hands? And how do you propose to repair the wrong you would, in my humble opinion, most in consistently and unjustly inflict upon me ?" To this letter, written throughout in the best spirit, the rev. doctor did not find convenience to reply; and on the 22d of the same month M:. Gladstone again addressed him, intimating that, in the event of his again remaining unanswered, he should publish his own letter ; but that if he did receive a reply he should be determined, by its nature, as to the course he should pursue. "At last, (says Mr. Gladstone,) I received his answer, long and laboured, but highly ingenious; what some straight forward people may probably call jesuitical, when com pared with his previous conduct; but the substance of it was to tell me he had changed his opinions, and that he had a right to do so. I therefore considered my case,as far hs it depended on him, as hopeless, and gave up the idea of carrying it farther, but waited for the chapter of events." No publication therefore ensued. Mr. Gladstone was satisfied that, so far as Dr. Chalmers was concerned, he had been duped ; and considered the question at an end. But not so the doctor. Stung by some letter which ap peared lately in the columns of the Montrose Stand ird. which be attributed to Mr. Gladstone, Dr. Chalmers, after an interval of a year and a half, has himself pub lished the correspondence; and we have therefore before us what Mr. Gladstone, justly indeed, calls his " Jesui tical" letter, in which the circumstances between them, and especially the writer's position past and present, are thus sought to be explained and justified. " When you did me the honour," writes Dr. Chal mers, "of asking my advice on the subject of a new church and parish for Leith, I had but one object at heart—and that was the religious good of the population there. I conceived this also to be alone your object, and felt most grateful for the large and liberal provision you offered in furtherance of this sacred interest. " I confess that your right as a patron, viewed in the light of a secular or patrimonial interest, did not once enter into my thoughts. I felt that I had no other duty in giving the advice that you desired of me, than to state what appeared to me the likeliest and most practicable scherae for setting up an efficient parochial economy for the destitute families of that locality which you had fixed upon. Had I conceived that, over and above the ac complishment of this object, I was helping to provide you with a title to complain of our General Assembly— when in the exercise of her high vocation, she judges what is best for the good of our people, in any new cir cumstances which might arise—l never would have been a party to any such negotiation. I should have declined all converse with you upon the subject, had I contem plated the possibility of its being turned into an argument for the abridgement either of my own liberty, or the li berty of that Church of which I am a member, to pro nounce our own honest and conscientious convictions of what we hold to be fittest and most effectual for the moral and religious benefit of the people of Scotland." It is painful, truly painful to contemplate the moral obliquity displayed in this, the only portion of the letter in which the question at issue is touched upon, the re mainder being upon the general question of Non-intru sionism versus the Church. The first passage can be viewed (with all respect to the clerical character) as little better than an evasion of the facts urged by Mr. Glad stone in the letter to which this is a reply. The doctor says that, in his furtherance of the plans of Mr. Glad stone, he had at heart only the religious good of the po pulation at Leith, and that he conceived this also was the sole object of Mr. Gladstone. But the latter, as Dr. Chalmers well knew, had his own views as to the mode in which the good proposed was to be e f fected. The pos session of the patronage of St. Thomas was the condition on which Mr. Gladstone advanced his money. Such possession was guaranteed, so far as it could be, by the doctor, and was pleaded for and voted for by him in the General Assembly. Was the doctor,-at that lime, play ing a double part—" getting his egg," by what deceitful arts he cared not ? Mr. Gladstone himself seems to sus pect as much. The second passage quoted is sheer trifli.ig and subter fuge. " Had I conceived," said the doctor, " that I was helping to provide you with a title to complain of our General Assembly, &c." The question, we beg to assure the doctor, is not at all one in which the General Assem bly is concerned. It is his own character for fair dealing that is concerned. The public want to know (for it is now the public's affair) how Dr. Chalmers reconciles with his sacred character, or his character as a man, a deliberate breach of a pledge deliberately given. It is Dr. Chalmers who was seeking to injure the property of Mr. Gladstone, and not the Assembly at all. We must here leave the controversy. It will be in structive to the public ; but upon the reputation of Dr. Chalmers it is, we fear, little calculated to confer addi tional lustre. ENLIGHTENED, LIBERAL, ANTI• CORN-LAW ROCH DALE.—RochdaIe, or Itachdaw, immortalised by Tim Bobbin--immortal still more as the birthplace of John Bright—has at length reached the proeter-pluperfection of immortality ! Within the past ten days its millowners and others have contributed nearly £3,000 to the funds of the Anti-Corn-Law League ; and great has therefore been the glorification of Rochdale—the Athens of the manufacturing districts—the centre and quintessence of Lancashire civilisation ! But one speck—one blot—upon the brilliancy of its fame has unfortunately been allowed within the same period to be fastened. In the absence of " the schoolmaster "—at some Anti-Corn-Law meeting, we presume—the enlightened (!). mobocracy of Rochdale has been amusing itself by a freak of very questionable character. A handbill is just now before us, which an nounces the performance of the peculiar species of Olym pic games practised in this locality—viz., climbing a greased pole, catching soaped pigs, jumping in sacks, and other athletic sports, Aye, and Old English sports too ! exclaims the reader. Admitted ; but these are not all. In addition, we find announced a contest between pro fessors of the art of eating hot porridge !—and another, more outre still, between adepts in the science of " LICK ING TREACLE" !!- The very idea that any portion—the rudest even—of the population of philosophic, enlight ened, Anti-Corn-Law Rochdale, should descend to por ridge-eating and treacle-licking for money—perbaps to be contributed to swell the League fund—is so outrage ous, that we trust we shall be informed how it can occur, in a locality whose population can spend £3,000 at once in Anti-Corn-Law agitation, that even half-a-dozen peo ple could be found so disgusting in their tastes, as to enjoy the sight of human beings degrading themselves to the level of the brute creation. Do the liberal millowners and manufacturers of Rochdale spend anything in the duty of educating and civilising the poor slaves, who toil to enable them to squander money so profusely ? Perhaps some correspondent will give us some little insight into this subject. IMPROVEMENTS AT CREWE. We give in another column an account of a grand fete given on Saturday by the Grand Junction Railway Com pany, at Crewe, to their clerks and workmen ; and as we had an opportunity, on the occasion of our visit, of in specting the magnificent works at the station, together with the improvements in the village, we feel satisfied that a short description of them will be interesting to our readers. The works are si uated at the angle of the junction of the three lines from Chester, Manchester, and Liverpool. We were politely accompanied in our inspection by Mr. R. S. Norris, the resident engineer, Mr. Sumner, deputy chairman of the Manchester and Birmingham Company, and Mr. Braithwaite Poole, agent of the goods depart ment of the Grand Junction line, and were politely shown through the principal rooms. Some idea may be formed of the extent of the premises when we state that, including the interior yards, they have a frontage to the Liverpool line of 730 feet, and a width at the broadest end (the form of the ground being in its general outline nearly a rect angled triange) of about 500 feet. They cover, in fact, about seven acres. The whole of the buildings were erected by our townsmen, Messrs. S. and J. Holme, and the ar chitect was Mr. Cunningham, also of this town. They are of substantial brick work, with stone facings, and hav ing large semicircular arched windows, lay a claim to a de gree of architectural ❑eatness rarely found in buildings of this class. The whole are exceedingly well lighted, and the main rooms of amazing extent. The " carriage manufac tory" is 241 feet long by 74 feet wide. The " Engine, and Carriage, and under Repair Room,"or " hospital," is 300 feet by 100; the Engine, in Steam Room," 140 by Si. They are floored with square wood pavement, which is smooth, noiseless, and comfortable under foot. We here observed engines and carriages in every stage, from the embryo frame work to the highest finish, and embracing every modern approved patent or appliance. Several of the new locomotives have the cylinders and connecting rods outside, but compactly placed, so that the driving wheels are moved from the outside of the metal nave, which projects at one point towards the tyre for that pur pose, and thus obviates the necessity of the crutched axle, which is liable to break. We also noticed all sorts of en gine, carriage, and waggon wheels, some entirely of iron, of varied construction ; others of that metal and wood combined, including Wordsell's patent. Amongst the engines was a beautifully finished and very powerful one called the " STENTOR." In the " Engine House" we saw several other splendid engines, and tenders, in various states. The " fitting shop," for dressing, turning, boring, dril ling, and planing iron and brass-work, contains many very valuable machines, some of which were topped with sprigs of evergreen, in token of the good feeling on the festive occasion that influenced those who worked them. It is an immense apartment, and well lighted from twelve windows on each side. All kinds of work are smoothed and fashioned from the rudest form, with a de gree of accuracy, fineness of surface, and we may add facility, which is truely surprising even in this age of im proved working in metals,—the tedious process of filing and clipping being almost superseded. There is also, besides many smaller lathes, a large machine for turning the largest iron wheels, shafts, and axles. In this room there are thirty machines in all. We had not the advantage of seeing any of them at work, (which would have been still more interesting,) the whole of the men having been let loose to prepare themselves for the festivities of the day ; but we could readily conceive the contrast between the silence that prevailed, and the noise of the machinery and apparatus when the operations are going on. A cap ital and compact Cornish steam-engine of 20 horse power, by Barry and Co. communicates power to the several rooms, turning a variety of drums with straps over head, the shaft ing of which is supported apart from the walls by im proved bracketting, for additional s t reng th an d to re d uce the vibration. Th e floor in the last noticed room is paved with wood, in octagonal pieces, and the cleanness and sys tematic good order of the whole of the machinery and instruments throughout, reflect the highest credit on the foreman and the men under him. The " Grinding shop" adjoins, in which nuts, bolt-heads, &c., are ground and polished to their required size and surface by large stones turning vertically with great rapidity. Another room is devoted to stores of iron plates, bars, rods, &c. in their crude state; another for abundance of tiles and other tools, brass taps, cruscibles, &c. ; and another for copper tubes for engine boilers, carriage springs, and a variety of other needful articles. Leading from one of these there is a cellar containing cool iron tanks for oils of various kinds, with brass taps, having their handles so weighted with balls, that when left they close of themselves. We also entered two smithies, one of them containing no fewer than seventeen fire-places covered with sheet-iron, and a large cutting and piercing machine. The other has eight 1 furnaces. There are also many other rooms for purposes con. nected with the business, and a magnificent range of offices at the south end of the buildings, in which is the principal entrance gate, in a handsome arch thrown out in projec tion, and surmounted by an ornamental stone belfry. From the top, on a flag staff, floated a large British en sign and broad pendant. A pole was also fixed in the ground at each side of the building at the same end, and from a rope reaching the top of the central staff were hung no fewer than forty other various flags. The yards are very long and spacious. That appropriated for the goods waggon building department is filled with admirably constructed machines, most of them in readiness for work ; and wheels attached to their axles, and also finished in reserve, are numerous over the adjacent ground. The establishment, indeed, (the company having removed their works from Edge.hill and elsewhere to it, as the grand manufactory for the whole line,) may, in truth, be said to be " the finest and most extensive rail way workshop in the world." THE VILLAGE. About two years ago only, the site could boast of but a few detached farm houses. The company (and a few others) have imparted to it a very different aspect. Their own land—including the site of the works—is about 30 acres, and the whole is laid out in streets, and nearly covered with comfortable cottages in varied and distinctive styles uniform in the several streets, mostly so detached in two or four together with small gardens as to appear like rows of separate little villas, with shops here and there, public-houses, &c. They are of two stories, some with projecting centre pieces having elevated piqued roofs, the bottom part of which form porches for two dwellings others, termed " block-houses" with piqued wings at the ends in the form of the letter I. These, as the others, are in the old English style, and consist of 4 domiciles each, and are apart and enclosed, with their little gardens in front, enclosed by parapet walls of brick. About twelve months ago the population was about /000 ; it now amounts to double that number, of which about 1,150 are families supported by the employ meet given by the Com pany, who own 250 of the cottages and are about to build many more-33 of them as quickly as possible. We noticed Prince Albert-street, Sandon-street, Man chester-street, Liverpool-street, Copenhall-street, Dela mere-street, Chester -street, Church-street, Queen-street, the Terrace, facing the Liverpool line &c., but we must not dwell upon the juvenile city lest some of our readers should become jealous of its threatening importance ! The whole (as well as the works) is supplied with gas (with street lamps) by the new works of the Com pany, and also with water from their water-works, at which there is an immense reservoir from which it is forced and filtered. The cottages are chiefly rough-cast ; covered with blue slates floored with diamond shaped red and brown tiles, and have a remarkable clean and comfort able appearance. The station-houses adjacent are hand some and commodious, and there are three fine bridges over the respective lines here meeting,—the Chester bridge (of three arches), the Liverpool Bridge, and the Crewe Bridge over the general line southward, at the sta tion. There is a range of temporary schools in operation and well attended, for girls, boys, and infants respectively, and a new pile for schools is in course of completion, also an assembly-room, committee-room for magistrates, &c. The Company have fitted up an appropriate portion of their buildings as a temporary Church of England, and have appointed their own chaplain —the Rev. Mr. Apple ton—who is much respected in his pastoral office as well as in private life. This is neatly and appropriately fitted up •, accomodates between three and four hundred persons, and though there are many dissenters of numerous de nominations, including a Wesleyan and a Primitive Christ ian Chapel, it is crowded on Sundays to inconvenience. The locality is undulated, and in summer picturesque and pleasing. The only present inconvenience to strangers is the slutchy nature of the clay soil; for though the streets are laid with gravel, with footwalks, the yet want of tho rough drainage is much felt and we need scarcely ad vise " dandies " to make a brief sojourn among the " Creweites." As an instance of the rapid rise of the village, we may state that the men first sent by Messrs. Holme to build the works, had upwards of four miles to go for lodgings. _ _ Mr. Jones': a teacher in the diocesan school at Chester, kindly and gratuitously attends every Friday, and instructs the children in singing, on the Wilheim system ; the Grand Junction company liberally franking him through. ST. GEORGE'S, MANCHESTER. —On Tuesday evening a sermon was preached in this church, by the Rev. Hugh INl`Neile, and a collection made towards defraying the debt incurred by the recent repairs of that edifice. ASSAULT.—Three fashionably dressed young men, named Hugh Dennely, William and George Hughes, were brought before Mr. Rushton, yesterday, on a charge of having, on Sunday night, while in a state of intoxication, shamefully kicked and maltreated a young lad in front of St. Thomas's Church. The case having been proved, they were ordered to pay a fine of 20s. and costs, or to be imprisoned ten days. FOUNDERING.—On the 27th of October last the:Ellen, of Maryport, left Runcorn for this port, with a cargo of coal, and has never reached her destination. There were two men and a boy on board—the captain, John Smith Burnside of Mabie, the mate, John . Ritchie, a n d hi s son , Samuel. The vesse l was spoken on the afternoon of the same day by the Mary Ann Craik, when rounding the light ship, about 20 miles out of Liverpool. Capt. Smith was principal owner of the ship, which was not insured. It is too much to be feared that the vessel foundered at sea, and that all hands were lost. She was very heavily laden.—Dumfries Courier. SOUTHERN AND TOXTETH HOSPITAL.—A charity sermon in aid of this most valuable institution was preached at St. Barnabas's Church on Sunday afternoon, by the Rev. Thomas Nolan, A.M., the incumbent. The reverend gentleman selected for his text the 48th verse of the 16th chapter of Numbers: "And Moses stood be tween the living and the dead, and the plague was stayed." The collection, along with one or two don a ti ons rece i ve d since, amounted to £6l. The Mayor, dressed in his robes of office, and accompanied by several influential gentle men of the town, was present on the occasion. It is a gra tifying circumstance, as evincing the interest manifested by the poor in this admirable institution, that upwards of three pounds of the sum collected was in copper.
