THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1852. cies, and other circumstances, which have occurred since their names were placed on the register; and that their votes, if tendered, would be struck off tion press, they might earn the inestimable favour of the Anti-Corn-Law League and its organs ; and enjoy the advantage of having "their enemies praise them." The Ministerial party, however, do not sufficiently appreciate the advantage of the praises of the League. They are determined to meet the pressing difficulties of the present position of the State. In the words of our French neighbours—they " accept the situation of affairs"—and are resolved to deal on a scrutiny. In the Northern Division we are glad to observe that the initiatory steps have already been taken; and that a requisition has been prepared to be pre sented to Lord STANLEY, urging him to come for ward as a candidate. It is a most gratifying fact that this has been the spontaneous act of the tenant farmers themselves; and a greater compliment was perhaps never paid than is contained in the lan guage, and in the tone altogether, of the document itself. Our North Lancashire brethren fully recog nize the important results to the country which must follow the action of the constituencies at the coming election; and having declared their here ditary affection to the noble house of STANLEY, they state : with it as may seem most conducive to public Those who believe that the Earl of prosperity. DERBY is equal to his great position—the greatest position enjoyed by any man in Christendom — cannot sacrifice the interests of good government, both civil and religious, for the reward of being told by the enemies of nationality and order that they approve the policy that serves their ends. The course taken must be adopted with prudence, patience, and sagacity. The chief necessity is, that the reckless career of those " who are given to change"—the tide, in fact, of revolution—should be arrested; that the remaining defences of the constitution be maintained; and that the just rights of every order, from the peer to the peasant, be kept safe from the perpetual agitation of pro fessional demagogues. This course Lord DERBY will adopt ; and every man who regards the national prosperity is bound to maintain a Government who will uphold the cause of peace and order. " This name, borne by your honoured ancestors, has led the hardy sons of the soil and gallant men of Lanca shire, in days gone by, to the field of action, when the interests and liberties of our forefathers were threatened and attacked; and at this eventful crisis, their posterity desire to fight under the same banner, and be led by the descendant of the same chiefs who preserved to us our liberties, our hearths, our property, and our glorious institutions. " We do not ask you, my lord, to pledge yourself to any men, or to any particular public measure ; we have sufficient confidence in your conduct and character to feel assured that in applying yourself to the development of the true resources, and to the promotion of the general weal of the country, our prosperity and welfare will equally be the object of your exertions and solicitude. " We tale this step uninfluenced, unassisted, and un controlled by any body or party. We desire only to exercise our suffrages for one in whom we have confidence ; and by giving us an opportunity of so recording our votes in your favour, it will alike prove to your lordship and the country that we are neither few in number, unimportant in influence, nor undecided in our opinions and determi nation." THE LOSS OF THE BIRKENHEAD STEAM FRIGATE. " Toll for the brave, The brave that are no more." This is not the language of what the Free Trade Liberals delight in terming the "ignorant serfs of ONE of the saddest events with which the sympa thies of the country hare been excited for several years, is recorded in our columns to-day. The large and beautiful steamer Birkenhead, which re ceived her name and existence in our own imme diate neighbourhood, is numbered with many ano ther wreck near the Cape of Storms; and nearly 500 gallant men who sailed in her to fight the battles of their country have found a premature grave. We had scarcely ceased to think of the ill-fated Amazon, when this intelligence, still more heart-rending, reaches us; and it is aggravated by the fact that the whole calamity was avoidable by the exercise of common prudence. Our grief is not diminished by the fact, that the many brave men who suffered exhibited a degree of discipline and heroism which could not have been expected from untrained civilians. Death in the battle-field is honourable as well as professional; it is calculated on as a near contingency, and besides, there is the knowledge that in the most disastrous engagements only a small percentage of the combatants must die. But the forbearance which permitted and assisted the escape of the weak, whether from sex or age, forms so noble a contrast to the conduct of the assistant-surgeon, who assisted no one in his selfish attempt to secure individual safety, that it merits a more lasting memorial than a newspaper record, were it only to incite others to " do like a territorial aristocracy," but of loyal and patriotic Englishmen, who, seeing their country's true inter ests and their own liberties perilled by a revolution ary faction, are ready, as their fathers were, to stand forward in their defence under the leadership of a man of birth and honour. RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF THE PRESENT POLITICAL CONTEST. WE are nominally divided on politics; but he knows little of the state of public feeling, who fancies that that is the only difference. The politicel watch words have of late years been felling fainter and more faintly on the ear, until we have seen Whigs advocate Tory measures, and 'lbises, in name at least, cagy Whig measures successfully through Parliament. At the present moment, an anomaly of this kind fills our newspapers, covers our walls in the form of placards and addresses, and is heard from a hundred platforms. The man who calls himself a Free-trader gives the lie to his own profes sions, for he advocates the maintenance of that bas tard system which sets class against class in our own countiy, and would bring justice and equality to none in their national capacity. On the contrary, those who ere honoured or stigmatised by the name of Protectionists are, in one sense, the only Free traders ; for they would do to others as they do to us, and prevent selfish manufacturers from grinding the faces of husbandmen. They would give a clear stage to all, not to one only or to several; they would make a bargain advantageous to both con tracting parties; for they cannot see that the balance is equally adjusted when the weight is only in one scale. wise." When the Royal George was overset at Spithead in 1782, exactly 70 years ago, the calamity was one which was unforeseen, and no blame was attributa ble to any one concerned. The brave KEMPEN FELT himself was drowned, and nearly 800 of the crew, and the sympathy of all Europe and America was deeply moved ; yet the calamity, in all its bearings, was scarcely greater than that which has just occurred. A more horrible event than either was that which happened to the veterans of the Peninsula in Dublin Bay, for it was marked by cold-blooded treachery and murder. When the captain and crew found that the destruction of the ship was certain, they deserted her in the boats ; and the entire troops, under fastened hatches, were drowned as the ship opened, without even the poor satisfaction of a struggle on the part of the swim mer. It is impossible to exaggerate the indignant sorrow of a humane community when this dreadful deed became known. There is a story told of an empirical commander, who could not find a dan gerous rock alleged to be in the Mediterranean ; but an officer who had sailed under himself after wards discovered it and laid it down upon the charts. In his foolhardiness, however, the former would not admit of its existence, and sailing designedly over the very spot, he met with the fate that he had so recklessly dared. But the example most similar to the wreck of the Birkenhead, in all but the ex tent of the disaster, is the fate of the Orion. In a well-known part of the channel, where every spot of the neighbouring shore was visible, and the water calm as a mill-pond, the vessel was torn to pieces on an adjoining rock. These and similar questions, however, seem to give place to weightier ones. The question of Monarchy or Democracy is openly discussed, and the Manchester men seem to have made up their minds that all present concessions are as means to an end. They will, no doubt, declare, as the Ro man Catholics did in 1829, that every great mea sure is a final one; but it will soon be found that each additional concession is only driving home the wedge a little more closely. Mr. CHEETHAM—in whose name there is a sound of truth—is a candi date for the representation of part of this county, and his creed is household suffrage, vote by ballot, triennial parliaments, and direct taxation ! A pro mising man for Lancashire. The Roman Catholics of 1852 have taken courage and spoken out. The Stonyhurst tactics are use less now ; and besides, there is no use in dissembling if the truth will answer as well. The question with them is, Protestant Ascendancy or Roman Catholic Ascendancy. The men who have for years been declaring that religion had nothing to do with good government, that civil rights and liberties were all that they sought for, that it was libellous to accuse them even of confounding the temporal with the spiritual, now openly avow that they will vote for no man, however orthodox his political creed may be, unless he is favourable to Popery. The liberals of every grade have been fighting their battles for more than half a century, under the guise of liberty, equality, fraternity ; they now learn that the ladder is to be kicked away or trampled on, unless it can he used for mounting still higher. It is said that before one of the decisive battles of 1798, the Roman Catholic leader exclaimed, "To-morrow will decide whether we are to have a Roman Ca tholic king in Ireland." "Oh !" said General Munro (a presbyterian), "had I known that that was what you were fighting for, I would not have been here to-day." When we see a few hundred Roman Catholic electors boasting that they are tw ice as many, and declaring that they will not promise their support even to the faithless CARDWELL, as he is not suffi ciently ultra-montane, is it any wonder that the Anti- Maynooth feeling is spreading ? When we see even the traditions and customs of established loyalty outraged at their symposia, and the Pope toasted with three times three, while Queen VICTORIA is scarcely named, is it surprising that men of mode rate party feelings, and hitherto unmarked in their leanings, should choose their sides with zeal and sincerity ? When the Romanist is ready to sacrifice political liberty and civil benefits, that he may exalt his creed, shall Protestants not merge their differ ences too, and show that they value the institutions under which they live.? The religious Dissenter finds that it is now more needful than ever to fight in the battle of the Established Church ; but the political Dissenter, however he may prate about spirituality, casts his lot with Rome. It is humi liating, but not surprising, to see the libertine free thinker, who denies everything, and the blind votary of superstition who believes everything, ranging themselves on one side. It is an illustration of the principle that extremes meet ; it is a practical com mentary on one of the lessons of the season, which tells us that HEROD and PONTIUS PILATE were made friends together. The bond of union is hatred to our venerable eetablishment, which keeps the lamp of truth burning, without either adultera ting or diminishing the oil. While Rome represents one of these parties, and the neologists of Germany the other, their union is s3-mholisei by France, where the acknowledged deism of the people is dressed up in the trappings of superstition. There is no man to whose skill and integrity we resign ourselves with such unbounded confidence, as the commander of an ordinary ship or steamer, or the engineer of a railway train. The passenger abandons care for the time, rolls the responsibility for his life and pro perLy upon another, and turns into his berth as carelessly as he is accustomed to close the door of his own chamber. When a calamity occurs, there fore, it is terrific in its effects; and, surely, either high security should be required from those in command, or heavy punishment should follow their delinquency. The wretched mother who destroys her speechless babe, in the vain hope of saving her own reputation, forfeits her life to the outraged laws of her country; and shall no punishment, or even a light one, await him whose weakness, or wickedness, numbers his victims not merely by tens but by hundreds. In the present case, the primitive geographer spoke from the grave when he called out " Danger Point ;" but Captain SALMOND listened to him as the " deaf adder" does. This terrible disaster to life and property may also be associated with the results of the Caffre war. Almost the whole of the 454 who were drowned formed part of the auxiliaries to our army at the Cape; and every campaigner knows that the morale of an event is often of far greater importance than its physical weight. The Caffres, who were sufficiently insolent before, will take courage ; and the dissatisfaction, which is widely spreading among both the British and Dutch colonists, will be increased. The war has at length assumed a very serious aspect. The native tribes have decided on a continuance of hostilities, and have taken precautions accordingly. The struggling farmer finds it almost useless to rear his flocks and herds, unless he is to regard him self merely as a herdsman for Caffre accommoda- The mercy and forbearance of a great nation were naturally mistaken for cowardice by those to whom the lower qualities only are known ; the policy which is miscalled humane, but which is more nearly idiotic, has already destroyed the prestige of our power; and at this moment the protection of our own people, inadequate as it undoubtedly 19, costs us £5 per head, for colonists young and old. Now, the history of the world has shown that, as the elephant must be caught or the steed broken, so the savage must be conquered before he can be civilised. But, if we commence with assuming that he is already on an equality with ourselves, he will endeavour to step from that platform to a higher elevation. The colonists cannot now defend themselves, though aided by 10,000 soldiers ; yet they would have little to fear if left quite alone ! In the days of the Caffre " commandoes," it is true that great cruelties were permitted and practised ; but if we must decide between the robbery and slaughter of Englishmen and that of an equal number of Caffres, we have no hesitation in saying that we prefer the latter. THE " CONSISTENCY" CRY. THE heathen philosopher showed much judgment who said "cursed art thou when thine enemies praise thee." Such is the condition into which the motley Opposition desire to bring the supporters of the Earl of DERBY.

THE debate in the Town Council, on Wednesday last, has led us reluctantly to the conclusion that the t•ody called the Watch Committee requires watching itself more than set of men in town. Prudence and decency required that all past differences should have been for gotten ; and there are some things that we gladly dismiss ; but the series of exculpations and recriminations which ensued, baffles all description. Well might Mr. ASPI- any other NALL TOBIN exclaim that it was a pretty picture of pub morality ; and well might the more respectable porti, of the Town Council feel that the whole scene was Inc humiliatinz, If Mr. BIGUAM had frankly congratulated his gallant antagonist—the successful candidate for the situation of Head Constable,—if he had said, "You have been elected instead of myself, and from thin hour I will endeavour to strengthen your hands, as you, I am sure, would have strengthened mine," he would have had all the town upon his side. But that a defeated candidate, who is still a member of the Council, should stand up in his place and arraign his colleagues because they were not also his patrons ; that he should almost give the lie t^ some who would not understand their own words in Ms sense; all this was as gross a violation of propriety and ii taste as we have ever known in Livcrpcol. It - is really shocking that such a thing could occur in our Town-hall, and under the presidency of our Chief Magistrate. If Mr. BIGHAM had been the successful candidate, though dissenting from the choice, and knowing the means by which it was brought about, we would gladly have exerted ourselves to support his authority as a public officer; and we appeal to himself and his friends to show their good sense, if they really possess it, by act ing in a similar way now. It is undeniable that they were the first offenders A little knot of jobbers called upon the members of a committee, assuring each individual, quite contrary to truth and fact, that they already had a majority, but wished to secure unanimity. The consent of some was secured by the apparent uselessness of opposition ; and that of others was assumed because they gave this self-constituted deputation a much more civil reception than they deserved The same " artful dodge" was tried in the newspapers, but there in general it failed : the press and the public cried out against it.

Willoughby's steamer Britannia, well known as one of the swiftest and most commodious ferry boats we have; and, when necessity requires it, other boats are also put on the station. TRIAL OF A POLICEMAN.—At the borough sessions, on Thursday, Samuel Tuck, who for a number of years has been an active detective officer in the Liverpool force, was tried on an indictment charging him with having stolen a shirt, the property of John Walters. The ac cused was seen by a daughter of Mr. Clough, in-door superintendent of police, to take the shirt out of a box at the Central Police-station, and it was afterwards found in his house.—The jury acquitted him, not being satisfied that he intended to steal the shirt.

The other busines which it was intend& Mr. JOHN STEWART or Mr. PICTON will do a kindness to the town by putting on the books a motion which will prevent such scenes in future. Every man is moral ineligible fc situation of which 1: himself is patron in whole or in part ; and it must not be said that the pick ings of the Town-hall are the reward of political or other partizanship. It is impossible to occupy at once the two situations of master and servant, in the eye of common sense ; and it ought to be so in the eye of the law. THEY STRAIN AT A GNAT AND SWALLOW A CAMEL, IT APPEARS that on Wednesday last, shortly after the meeting of the house of Commons at four o'clock, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie proposed a motion of which notice had been duly given, that the house adjourn for the holidays. It was carried as a matter of course; and when some of the memhers rose to give the wisdom of the nation the benefit of their petty oratory and leaden intellects, they were told that the motion had passed. One would sup pose that those who have been schoolboys would under stand the relief which senators feel at any relaxation of their usual duties, or the motives which induce them to look anxiously to a brief emancipation. Not so the Globe, however. It pretends to see, in the refusal to w zit the convenience of the loiterers, a deep scheme, an unworthy trick, a fact .deeply damaging to the reputation of an honourable member. The Liverpool Mercury, too, would fain have us believe that this prompt attention to parliamentary duties should almost be a disqualification at Liverpool. It is a " peculiarity and infirmity," and shews him to be " tricksy, slippery, and cunning," and, in fact, is little short of " flat blasphemy." We have long known the whole class of newspaper oculists that busy themselves in pulling motes out of their neighbours' eyes, without considering the beam in their own ; and it would be unreasonable to expect that they would abandon the practice which they best understand. Thosa who can gild vice are the very parties to try to blacken virtue; and of course moving a regular resolution is a deadly sin,where lying, hypocrisy, and truce-breaking are merely petty foibles. Let them take care, however. All the water in the ocean cannot wash their brazen idol, CARDWELL, clean ; and he who has sold others will sell them too when the market suits him. But the indirect attempt to give him a reputation by the wanton injury of that of another, is a trick too transparent to benefit the cause in which it is employed. LOCAL NEWS.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH AND NORTH LANCASHIRE. League faction in Manchester has presumed to dictate a candidate for the representation of South Lancashire, in the place of one of the present members, Mr. HENRY, who has expressed his deter mination not to offer himself again at the ensu;ng election. They have fixed upon a gentleman from the enlightened locality of Staleybridge, Mr. JOHN CHEETHAM, a cotton spinner, a Socinian, and a democrat of the most ultra character. Will this insolent assumption be submitted to by the free holders of one of the most important constituencies of the empire, without at least a constitutional struggle for the maintenance of constitutional prin ciples ? We trust not. It must he resisted ; and, notwithstanding the vauntings of the millocracy, we believe that it may be resisted successfully. A large portion of the freeholders of this division, and even of those who advocate the existing commer cial policy of the country, are not prepared to prostrate the institutions of the country at the feet of an insolent democracy. They are not anxious, like Mr. JOHN CHEETHAM, for household suffrage and the ballot, as the machinery for overthrowing the Monarchy, the Peerage, and the Church. They can conceive the possibility of a man holding Free trade opinions, without his being a leveller and an incendiary—wi►hout his being ready to pander to the bad passions and bad principles of the mobs in our large towns. And we mistake the signs around us, if an attempt is not being made, at this moment, and in influential patters, to find such a candidate. A letter has just been made public, addressed to the Manchester Courier by the Earl of ELLESMERE, which bears us out in this conclusion. The Mor ning Chronicle of the 3d inst. contained, it seems, the following paragraph, under the head of " Elec tioneering Intelligence" : " It is stated that the Earl of Ellesmere has expressed his conviction that his son, Captain Egerton, whom a section of the Conservative body are seeking to bring forward, as a candidate for the place to be vacated by Mr. A. Henry, is too young to take upon himself the repre sentation of a county. The noble earl is said to have intimated that he does not desire to disturb the peace of the county." His Lordship, however, denies having expressed any such opinion respecting Captain EGERTON'S youth, or any disinclination on the score of disturb ing the peace of the county. He says, on the con " I would, so far as depended on me, en courage a contest to-morrow, if I thought it could be undertaken with a fair prospect of seating for the county a Conservative adherent to the commer cial policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL." His Lordship, in reply to the application made to him, merely ex pressed his belief that "the chances of success did not justify the adventure." We differ from him in this opinion ; but the admission is valuable, that his well-known powerful interest would be given to a candidate who, treating the question of Free-trade as a settled one, was opposed to the democratic views of the Manchester factionists. His Lordship is not alone in taking this view of the present crisis. There are many other men of large influence in the county, who would even concede such a modifica tion of Free-trade measures as is now practicable, rather than entrust the government of the country to a party who have proclaimed openly that they are prepared to subvert its institutions, and to appeal to brute foree, if required, for the carrying out of their revolutionary designs. Most earnestly we would impress upon the Con servative freeholders of South Lancashire, and upon patriotic men of all parties, to rescue the division from the disgrace with which it is threatened. A candidate should at once be brought forward, in whose behalf the constituency might vote, with the full confidence that they were aiding in the preser vation of the must hallowed and valued institutions of their country. The intention of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his Manchester allies, as declared by a late member of the Government, is to hurry on a dissolution. They are afraid of the favourable im ich Lord DERBY and his colleagues are making upon the mind of the nation. To defeat servatives should be pro vided in time with candidates and effective organiza tion ; and the battle of the constitution may yet be won. We say this deliberately ; although we that here we differ from Lord ELLESMERE. tration of this portion of the division has attended to. We are more favourably tated now for the support of a candidate of Con. we were at the period when WM. ENTWISTLE he Salford hundred, has been neglected. It has been so nd we antici- trary, pression NS this conspiracy the Cor The regis been well rvative views than ouch Lancashire returned neglected, however, by both parties, pate that the Conservative loss will be more than made up for by conversions. In Manchester itself —the stronghold of the League party—we are satisfied that one-third, at the least, of the ultra- Free-trade electors, at present on the register, have been disfranchised by removals, deaths, bank'•upt- that meaning attach to it ! If the supporters of the adinir.is tration only chose to abide by a rule, laid down for them by the opposition speakers, and th 9 opposi- of was of no public interest meeting of this society will be held in the Royal tion, on Thursday next, at half-past one o'clock, the convenience of non-resident members.

SOIREE OF THE LEARNED SOCIETIES.—The programa of the soiree, under the auspices of the learned and sciei tific societies of this town, has been issued, and the ticke are in course of distribution to the various members. was suggested by the correspondent of a coat - emperor] that there might be too great a crush, and that the roof' in the Town-hall should be applied for. He wrote i utter ignorance of the arrangements, however, Ly inconvenience will be in a great degree prevented. TI Town-hall possesses no accommodation for a meeting the kind contemplated, even were it placed at the di3pcs of the committee; as where would it be possible for 5( people (one-half of them ladies) to listen to a tediot dramatic reading for an hour and a-half ? The promenad would not be cut off, but in the absence of the rnuscur its interest would be destroyed ; and the scientific enter tainment would be out of place, or impossible. TL delegates have decided that a dramatic reading is legit mate, some of them against their own convictions ; an unless that is abandomed, there must be some plan ft: the audience to be seated. CHARGE OF MURDER, BY STABBING, IN LIVERBOOT. —An Irish labourer named John Dowd, about 20 years of age, was brought up on Saturday before the coroner, charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Conway. It ap peared that between one and two o'clock on the previous Sunday morning the prisoner and several others ware beard at high words at the corner of Albert-street and 'Warwick street, and shortly afterwards Dowd and the deceased commenced fighting. After a few rounds deceased gave in, and prisoner inciting him to continue was observed to open a large clasp knife, and, following deceased up a street, to stab him in the bowels. Prisoner ran away ; but was shortly afterwards captured. Deceased vent into n cellar near the spot, and was taken thence to the Nor thern Hospital, where he died at two o'clock on Thursday morning. In a voluntary statement before the corecer, prisoner said that deceased struck him first, and in the fight kicked him in the head and stomach. They were both drunk at the time of the quarrel, which originated in a dispute as to which had known Albert-street lon , est. The prisoner was much distressed, and was committed for trial. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO POISON.—Ann Rimmer, the two women who were remanded h on a charge of having administered oxalic acid tea, to a girl 19 years of age, the daughter of Sar mer, were brought up before Mr. Mansfield on Dr. Brett, analytical chemist, stated that a bottle taining an infusion of tea, was brought to him on M last, which he analysed, and found it to contain 6.1 ; of oxalic acid in the ounce ; the bottle contained 11 ounce of fluid ; the taste was a strong acid, and a reddened litmus paper. The tea in the pot had no acid in it, and if it had contained any it must hare washed out : when full it would have held about 2-1 ounces. If the pot Lad been full of tea, the qr.,;:; acid would have been equal to 162 grains, which wt quarter of an ounce and 52 grains. The cup ‘vhi examined contained six fluid ounces, and there WOI 401 grains of oxalic acid in each cupful of the infus tea. Oxalic acid was a deadly poison. The sm quantity on record which destroyed life was half an o but lie was of opinion that a less quantity would proi,uce death on a person of weakly constitution. Both prisoners were committed for trial on this evidence. THE ALTERATIONS IN ST. NICHOLAS'S CHL.. The parish church of St. Nicholas, Chapel -street opened for divine service on Sunday, the alteratior improvements being completed. The galleries Lay , left as they were, but in the body private owner: pews has been done away with, and they have he propriated to the use of the parish. The whole of t pews have been removed, and open pews in gothic have been substituted. The old pulpits have zlso be— removed, and an elegant octagon pulpit of carved oak has been erected in their place. There is a new eagle, from whence the lessons will be read, and prayers will be read from the stalls. The organ gallery has been lowered about four feet, and reduced in size. The organ has also been thoroughly cleaned. The choir willin future be placed in stalls near the pulpit instead of in the organ Fallery, but in every other respect the services will be in their former order. The circular window over the communion has been refilled with glass, stained at St. Helen's, the centre piece being a lamb and flag on a blue ground. The altar has been extended to the full width of the cast end of the church, and it has a much more appropriate aspect than it formerly possessed. BAZAAR IN AID OF ST. PETER'S CHURCH SCHOOLS, &c.—Yesterday tsbazaar. the proceeds of which are to be applied to the erection of new schools for the dist r ict con nected with St. Peter's Church, Everton, and to the liquidation of the remaining debt on the new organ erected in the above church, last year, was held at the Collegiate Institution. The display took place in "The Lorg Room," and nothing could exceed it in beauty and uniqueness. The heterogeneous mass of articles, of every doviceable form, created great interest. Beauty on the occasion lent her aid to the cause of charity, and the proceeds of the day were most gratifying, —realising nearly £2OO. The stalls were admirably presided over, by fair and inducing ladies, whose very winningness provoked patronage. In addition to the other indu cemen t s th ere were exce ll ent refreshment stalls, the goo d thi ngs o f w hi ch we b e li eve were furnished gratuito us ly, an d amongst not t h e mos t insignificant were i c es by Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, whose heart i n generos ity i s as capacious as is his house in hospitality.
