'The demand made upon our columns by subjects of deeP local, as well as national, interest to the cause of conservatism, is the only reason we hare to offer for de.. laying so long the discussion of the question of church rates, for the extinction of which a mongrel meeting of dissenters, and nominal churchnien, was lately held in. the city of London. This is a subject of the first im ,portance to our national church, and, through our national c!lurcli, to all our political and civil institutions. It is I„, ii ,the first outpost that its enemies are assailing . with a view' 1 4 - 4 to draw nearer their lines, and thereby, ultimately, to 4120 .1ft:0 its ,complete destruction. We, thereforeOtope to lie indulged with a little patience, whilst we combat' the „pAkqble, but unsubstantial, arguments of these enemies' establishment...- - . The leader who harangued the metropolitan assenThlV 412:!-Ivas71V r.r Ovules Lushington, M.P. He opened his with a very Well turned etilogy upon Ins own rality, which with - arch subtlety he also turned into an al 4.ted,gutnent to prove the justice of the . Clain's . they Were met "Act:to urge. You hare called upon me, a churchman, sajrs lre , , , tci' preside over a meeting of dissenters asking for concession. from 'that church to •which I • belong. Is this not a proof of the moderation and reasonableness •of views." • It is always a,painful task to us to make personal al• lusions, but in the discharge of our sterner duties, and 1074 especially when such momentous issues'depend upon it, , I „,,pty.fectings.must bow to justice. A member of the es tit6;tablished church appearing to advocate a measure de lu''stilictive of its acknowledged legitimate rights, is so tti great a ptactical solecism, such a suicidal picture, that ~&J :we cannot look at it with any feelings of complacency— dli; a member of the establishment placed at the head of a phhlatix of the direst enemies to the establishment creates ;Such a ,confusion of ideas, that we are hurried on to al most - Uncharitable surmises. So far from such an incon gruity. affording, evidence of integrity of purpose on the pan' of dissenters, it only serves to exhibit in him that submits to it, to what a depth of degradation man may ' 4 - 7, fall. „,, such language flattered the erect ears of dissenters, has made any impression upon the weak minds of any ' l 'J:,4lrivellers in the land, upon us it falls pointless. What! are-we surprised to find Mr. C. Lushington advocating 4zieasures engendered in the agitated mind of dissent? Should we have been surprised if the next day he had stood forward the champion of Romanist - if, and on the third day spoke, in his untired eloquence of liberalism, in' behalf of the creed of Mahomet ? But though we value little, and fear less, the-authority of Mr. Lushing ton; and the ” ragged regiment" r)f recreant churchmen who fought under his banners at this metropolitan meet ing, we think it our, bounden duty, which in these days of • innovation it vrould be criminal to neglect, to expose the sophistry, and lay bare the treachery, of the impugners of our national esta4sluuent. The principle hid down by Mr. Lushington, and which was made the foundation ,stOne upon Which was erected the unterrific_hatteries.of , this politico-ecclesiastical legion was, (and who ever saw such a piece. of dialectie wisdom, from the time of Aristo ' tle to that of Saunderson, Duncan, or Watts,) that he • .cause "we of the Chu-reh of England should, undoubt . .edly, refuse to contribute to any compulsory payment for the establishment of dissenters' chapels, or to provide clean linen for its service, it is therefore porfectly unjust that dissenters should be required to contribute; by corn. Ipulsory means, to the repair of our churches, or to the .expense . of their contingent ministrations." It is possi ble that this argument may be weighty upon the mental ''.boulders of Mr. Lushington, and of other men of equally weak minds—it is possible that the " therefore" of this , gentteman may carry upon its front the impress of a just conclusion—and it is only because we know that there are thousands in our land who have not been disciplined to correct thinking, and ten thousands who are ready to embrace error when it fosters their own views, that we • shall expose the folly of this reasoning, and the fatal is ... H anes to which it tends. Our readers will then perceive if. such a principle were universally recognised, it 'would occasion the complete dismemberment of civil go-• is th ,lvernment, and carry society back, by one retrogressive to its primitive state. Ati4 If it,be true and just, that they who forego the bene i.?, firs of an institution ought, " therefore," to be relieved 161 „from supporting it, why then the Society of Friends, of f ° whom we shall always speak with the highest respect, ? : ',sff, i - L '' - Ought not to be required to pay anything towards the maintenanc(. of the army and navy, because they consci entiously disallow war. But, would it be just to give ':`] them the protection, in person and estate, which an army rls a.4: 1 1d navy afrird, and not demand from titer] any contri to support those .bulwarks of our national incle 41,4a4111Cpie On f,rh tit t suCfiCe , - t • .4 .

Again, the Frierrds, Itpon principle, de- cline going to law,ltnil this, as well as the foimer scru- ple; is an amiable feature in the character of their doc trince-.--4‘ Why do ye not rather -suffer wrong." Shall we, who believe such precepts to have a restricti - ie sense, applicable to Christian societies alone, shall we exonerate them from all contribution to• maintain the executive de, ••paitipent of our constitution?—shall the iudicial bench be broken '-down because one mection of christians think it oughtnOt to be supported 2—and thus, were we to. follow out the 'principle laid itovi , n : by -Mr. LuAington, and ela4 ruOrbnslY Iterated by those who cast all their thoughts into'the same mould, we should soon find every corner of the 'Constitution crumbling away—the " principle" of not paying for that we disallow, would be a bonas offered . „ to ei.:qry disaffected menzber of the slate-to declaim against its institutions. The collector 'of rates and taxes would be met in almost every house with some disclaimer of the object fOr which they , were' demanded, down to the licentiouS leveller, who talks obstreperously about free.- doin of which he understands nothing, who would ask for the demolition of nil government, it being his desire, that man should return to his pristine independence—an 3 this leveller, who is but the extreme term of the series, has as just a claim to be heard, as these clamourers fur the extinction of church rates, so far as buth of them rest upon the same principle, that what they diallow, the ought not be called upon to support. . But is this opposition to church rates an isolated ques tion ? .-Does not the dissenting eye look beyond it? Was the church rates not the second object in the group Mien- theleAt,and.corpOratkon acts were the titst ?—and do they' not view in the back ground of the picture the abolition of tithes ?—and all caught and comprehended one iyncean glance of dissent? But do they think that recent events have . not also quickened our dis- cerornni Apathy and credulity, though they slumber long, In:v1)e aroused to activity and distrust—the hand of _benevolence may be closed by ingratitude—and a sense ctbused,kindoess put us on our gliard against a repe tition Of treachery. There is, hoWever, one obviousdis tinction between the test and corporation acts and the ex action:of .church rates; the former were temporary out works erected to defend the estAblishment from the as saults of those enemies whom ensigns had not a suffici ently niarked character to distinguish to what party they belonged—When the predominance of the national church was fully established upon those principles upon which it was originally founded, but which a spirit of persecu tion had attempted to shake, then she exercised, as it ever is her delight to do, the character of generosity— she pulled down those outwork., and proclaimed tolera tion to an extent which prudence might almost suspect incompatible with social peace. _ _ .We have said, there is a distinction between the test and corporation acts and the exaction of tithes. The former we 'have shown to be only accidental to church go vernment—the latter we think essential to it. " You take my house when you do take the prop that cloth sus tain my house; you take my life when you do take the means whereby I live." The abrogation of the former left the church entire—the extinction of the latter will he the infraction of a "principle" endangering its exist ence ; let us.therefore take heed to the slightest invasion of " principle." The whole consequences of such an in vasion are seldom seen. If the tide, from the violence of the gale, should sometimes rise and overflow the banks 'which-shut in our fields, we can easily estimate the da mage Sustained, and if the evil he of frequent recur rence we can provide against it ; but if it has penetrated through the base itself, though the- mischief at first may h be'little, it will every day, increase, and eventually bring with it irretrievable ruin. Should we concede the aboli tiOn of church rates, on the ground above alleged, that he who does not acknowledge an institution ought to be relieved from supporting it, how can we refuse the aboli ,tiLm of tithes? The arguments which are valid in - One, case, are eqUallv valid in' the other—they are founded . upon the same principle; and rest assured that . the, sertici-§, 'after such 'a victory, will march on vs itli redoubled speed, and brandish their weapons,with all the enthusi atiM:?l,§ucceSs.. Against the principle, therefore, stand firn4'.Rnd you will cast dismay into the enemy's camp. But we have to complain not only of. the injustice of the claim now urged by di-sseuters, but the spirit and the manner in which they urge it. Such a combination or flippant indecency, and constitutional insubordination, is hardly to be found upon the record of our history. Un like honest men preferring a conscientious claim, they have recourse to the stratagems of malignant sarcasm, to the arrows of wit clipped in poison, and to the grosses t ribaldry. We think it needless to quote examples in verification of our charge, as any one of the speeches of any one of the orators at the metropolitan meeting will abundantly supply them. But we must now call, for a moment, the public attention to the means which a re gularly organized association has put forth, as alone likely to obtain for them what they ask. Will it. be believed, that a body of men professing to be holier than their neighbours—to he preachers of submission to " the pow ers that be"—to inculcate the truth " that laws are not made for a righteous man," but for the disobedient and unruly"—to " honour kings"—that such men should conspire to set an example in contrariety to all these wholesome precepts of good government, and to encou rage all their clan to refuse payment of a legally autho rized rate ? Do they hope to shelter themselves under the specious cloak of passive resistance ? Is it a virtue— a christian virtue assuredly it is not—so to act as to in cur the penalty of a broken law ; and is not the seizure of their gOOds, in 'Payment of a refused demand, the penalty affixed by law for such contumacy? Dissenters must have very plastic consciences, that can so easily take an impression from the .seal of self-will—they are subtle casuists, who can reconcile strange contradictions, and, very probably, will feel no compunction in setting an exunple to the CountrY, of refusing obedience to its laws, whenever caprice may prompt. They tell us (for So a ininning paper reports) that there will not be found brokers enow in the land to carry out the executions of th e l a w. What a shameless plea for resisting the pay ment of a tax I It.s the rdea of injustice coupled. with craft' in its worst form; and what a precedent will it be to qua . iffy arefusal of payment of any other tax by any other iftNtion of the unquiet in the . land ?—when minis. .tera of the gospel teach insubordination, and practice what they 6 , ach, where will ignorance; urged on by the, incitements ,of political demagogues, ; atop,? Shall we any longer feel wonder at the systematic refusal of the: deluded Catholic in Ireland, to pay tithe's'? . Shall we ex press surprise at the acts of desperation that folloW'in. the train of this doctrine ? All is, without a shade of distinction, the same in principle with the refusal of churchrates. A body of 'men who claim for themselves the highest step on the ladder of holiness have copied the example'of a country of rebellious Catholics, in resisting the laws of that government under which they live, from which they derive all their temporal blessings, and to which they owe a cheerful obedience. Nay more, in ag gravation of the crime. of Ireland, they add hypocrisy to their offence, because they teach doctrines from their pul pits which they discourage in civil life. We have not space to-day to pnrsue this subject further ; and we shall, probably, ,very soon he recalled to it by parliamentary proceedings. On Wednesday last Lord Stanley passed through St. Quen • tin with his family on his road to Paris, whence he will proceed to Italy. • FIRE.—On Sunday morning, at about one o'clock, the po liceman on duty in Byrom-street became sensible of a smell of fire in the neighbourhood et the shop occupied by Mr. Manegli, provision-dealer,' Byrom-street.

THE E,llii'EllP()o_l, LIVERPOOL POLICE. IxF'ORMATION.—On -Friday, at the Police-office, John Dow bigein, the keeper of a respectable public house. in Park-lase, Was sum envied on an information laid by. Butter, the inspector, charging him with retying permitted drunkenness in his house on Saturday eight last. Butler, stated that he called at the house, hearing a great noise, soon after ten o'cleek, and ad vised Mrs. Dowhiggin to get rid of her company. Shortly after twelve o'clock, on passing -there, he heard a great noise, and on going iu found about-forty - men there, all inure or less drunk, and throe very drunk. On forcing his way up stairs. the)' were bsingine. a ratan down the. stairs quite drunk, auti the .compeny. in the room appeared going- to fight, as one man was on the table, and . there -wee a great uproar. , •Two policemen corrobo rated this etatement, -Dewhiggin denied this, and said be had witnesses to prove that there wear) tine in' the heals. at: twelYe o'clock on .Satut day night. Mrs Charles Horsfall, jun., begged" to be allowed, to. explain the circumstances. They had been ; opening : a new foundry, and he-had , given his Men ce'sum of money for 9. supper, and -About eixty..cif there were holding this e4pper on S , caturdaeenight•at.- DowbiggireS. The . men' who were brought. up as witnesses were very respectable men. whose word he would believe as soon as-Mr.. Hall's; :two of item .were the last wise were in the house, awl they•would swear they were out of- the house five minutes before twelve. He might state that these men were very respectable, end - soine•of them were in the receipt of as much as £l5O a year. Mr. Hall: " What they receive will not. constitute respectability, Mr. Horsfall." Mr. Florefall: " Generally it,does." Three very respectable-look ing mechanic's then swore that-they were out of the house five minutes , before twelve o'clock; that there had been no drink drawn after 20 minutes past eleven; and that nonce!' them were drunk, though they had had liquor. A aaiter also gave similar evidence. Butler said he heard St. James's clock strike twelve before he went to the house. Mr. Hall said the magistrates were of opinion that the case was proved: they should fine the defendant 20s. and costs. Asseuter..--Ou Friday; at the police-office, a respectable looking woman, the keeper of a hoarding-house, appeared to complain against another boarding-house keeper, named Mrs. M Intyre, (whose exterior woman betokened a lower grade in the scale of hoarding-house keepers), for a grievous assault. The complainant, bobbing a curtsy: said " May,i f: please your wdrshipful highnesses, I had this wciinan up for the bail-not five .Weeke.siace, and she's continuously ever since abused me as 'bed as ever. She's continuously at it, your worships." Mr. 814 what- is the complaint you have to make ?" complairseeit.—" Why, your worShips, it's only the-day before yesterday that I: was down at. the docks looking oat for hoarders, when this woman comes up and abused me. scandalous, awl, • not satisfied with that, she got any arm in her month - and bit it, and. used very eutyar language, and almost kilt ate, in a man ner. "' (Aiaugh, i n which complainant joined, 'very demnrely.)

The compleinant remained silent . to -this interrogatory; till it was repeated by Mr. Hall. Complainant, very demurely. —" Well, sir. I did undertake one glass of ale, but I was : not at all tipsy." Defendant.—" Yes you was, Mrs. Crossley, and that gentleman (pointing to a man behind, having the appeal. ance of a coal porter) as was with you was drunk too, and helped you to give me two black eyes, he did." • Mr. Hell. Well, let us see what the gentleman says." (Leuehter.) " The gentleman" then steed up in the witness box, and on being asked to state what happened said, " I seed .Mrse M'lntyre come up to Mrs. Crossley, and abuse her very bad, and Mrs. Crossley made answer and said," ' never mi n d, I must com pute it to a'ear ignorance.—(loudlaughter)—l never seed a blow at all. After a bit I went to 'ern again, and I 'found Mrs. Crossley had her hand fast in Mrs. M 'lntyre's hair. - (Laugh ter.) I tried tnv best to get her loose but could nut, she heuded on so hard (loud laughter) so as Mrs.'M'lntyre waesqueaking. I went for a pair of scissors to cut it." (Continued laughter.) Mr. Hall.—" To cut what?" Witness.—"To cut her hair for sure." Mr. Hall.—" Well, did you cut her loose?" - Wit ness.--" Yes, I cut her louse." (Great laughter.) Mr. Hall.— " Well, Mrs. M'lntyre, what have you to say. to this charge?" Defendant—(producing a bonnet all torn in tatters)- , " Getele men, we follies both one biinie; we both keeps boarders ;' and she's very spiteful at the a-coarse o' that, till I darut go aboard a ship to inquire after a lodger.- And in the main -time she comes tantalising me a-coarse I was under bail, - and. said she would do every thing to break my bail—and I said notlin. .With that she follied us tip, and says, " will you make it all tight and take a glass of two sorts with me"—(l think she called it. )—(Great laughter.) So with that we had a glass of two sorts, and .a glass o' London porter, as that would taste the greens,' she said. Them was her very words. -(Laughter.) Mr. Hall.—" But what do you say, to beating her ?" -Defend dant.—" 1 never dial no such a thing; but they left me with two black eyes, tore my bonnet, and abused me shameful." Complainant.—" I don't wish to hurt her, but she annoys me when she gets a little drink, and calls dreadtul nausea." : De. fendant.—" Oh dear rate. " It appearing that the complainant: had had defer, taut bound over to keep the peace but five weeks before. Mr. Hal; said he should fine her . 15s. and costs, and in default of payment to go 14 days to the Borough gaol.

S HO PLIFTING.-On - Saturday last Dennis M'Dermot, a well known thief, was placed before Mr. Hell, charged with having stolen a pair of trousers- from the shop of John Carmichael, tailor, Great Crosshall-street. It appeared from the evidence, that at six o'clock on Friday night, the'priaiiner Went to the above shop and pretended that he wanted to make seine pur chases. Having induced Mrs. Carmichael to turn her back, he snatched up a pair of trousers andsran off with them. He wait pursued into Johnson-street, where he threw away the trousers, which were picked up by a little girl and returned to the owner. The prisoner was secured. He was committed to the "louse of Correction for one month. 'THEFT By a SuornoY.—Thomas Renshaw was, on Saha . - day, charged before Mr, Hall wiih haying robbed his master, Mr. Edward Hughes, groCer„St. James-street. It appears that the pririonerWas , eniployed by Mr. Hughes as his shophoy, and thiit great Confidence was reposed in him, as he had access to all the money drawers, and sometimes assisted, in' . serving cus tomers. Mr. Hughes had, from time to tune, :missed small sums of money. but had no suspicion,of the prisoner, till he re ceived some infurtnation„fromitwo men, at the_beionink.,...lof last week. In consequence of this, he marked four half crOwns. and one shilling, which, on searching the prisoner, 'were fount nd his person. lie was delivered into the custody of police-officer Glover. Or his way to Bridewell he confessed the theft. Ile was committel for trial at the Borough sessions. Punitc HALL.-It. gives us much pleasure to learn, that the shares in this undertaking fill .up .rapidly the sum of £16,000 having been already subscribed. This is just the result which we auticipated.from the high respectability of the members of the committee in general, the well-known activity of the mem bers on whom the management has more especially devolved, and the public spirit for which this enlightened community i s distinguished. _ . PRESENTATION OF PLATE.—The passengers of the ship Co lumbus have presented to Captain Augustus de Peyster a very handsome piece of plate, in testimony of their admiration of the gallant and seamanlike conduct of that gentleman under cir cumstances of more than ordinary difficulty and danger during a recent passage across the Atlantic. BEES.--The following extraordinary circumstance cannot but be interesting to naturalists :—A hive of bees, belongin g to M r. J. C. Shaw, Derby-hreck, and which are kept in lateral boxes on Mr. Nutt's humane principle, threw out a swarm on the 13th October last, and which were secured in a common cottage hive. After remaining three weeks incapable of-laying up anv portion of nourishment for the winter in consequence of the un usual early severe weather, they returned to the mother hive, and were readmitted. This fact almost proves that these inte resting insects have reasoning acuities. TORN-our ATPaRSToN.—The workmen, to the amount of outlti .

They proceed thus :—Soon after dark, they bustle up to the street. doors of respectable houses, as if they belonged to them, and, bymeans of skeleton latch-keys, enter. When in, they s ecu re such available articles as lie in the parlour, and retire unfree ceived. Ou Tuesday evening, two of them were disturbed at tempting to enter a lady's house in Mount-pleasant. They fled, leaving the skeleton latch-key behind them. On Thursday evening they entered the house of Mr. Gibson, the sculptor, in Gildart.street, and robbed it to a consi derable ext ent. On Thursday afternoon, during the absence of t h e in habit ants, they also entered a house in Christian.street, and stole-therefrom a quantity of wearing apparel, " Indefatigable researches into various branchei d science have in numerous instances proved abortive, but in Route they have proved pre-eminently successful and highly ttenerMinl to the public. In support of this observation, the medical skiil de-, reloped in the preparation of Mr. Wray's Balsamic Pills is a full corroboration.

RAILWAY COiIPAN Y.— On Wednesday a numerous. and hitjily respectable, Meeting of the shareholders in the above undertakiag was hebi in the Tlall of the Blark Bull Inn , the Earl of Viglinton in the chair. His lo.vilphip. on being called to the chair, rose and said, that it had long been the wish or his fatnily to have a railroad formed in the distrjet through which it wai proposed that it should now he done; ana his grandfather had the project in con templation. He could only say that he inherited t h e wish of his relative. and there was no doubt now that it woOd be gone into, 'from the gratifying unanimity that prevailed req?ecti" the line, and the satisfaction regarding the.proceedings Of the Com mittee, aud all conceived in furthering the work. Ile trusted that this 'unanimity and right,understanding Might long con , tinue.--(Cheers.), Mr. Watson' the secretary', then read a most satisfactory report of the Directors, and afterwards It IllMi-' noun report from Mr. George Stephenson,, in which that cele brated engineer gayL. a decided preference to the line proposed by Messrs.. Grainger and Miller, which was unanimously approved of. A number of the gentlemen present then delivered their opinions in moving the resolutions. It was manifest that the very best understanding existed regarding the line, and that a most handsome return for the money expended was certain. The public may well wish for a speedy conclusion to this under taking. The line, in some places especially, will pass through a must delightful country, and we should not be surprised, from statements made at the meeting, to see the trip to Ayr per formed within an hour.—We have seldom seen an undertaking. more powerfully supported by wealthy and influential individu als in GlaA . voty, end the noblemen and gentlemen in the counties through which the Railway is to pass. Wit KEFIEIn, Nov. 7.—The Conservative Association met in this town to-night. One hundred and sixty-one new members were added at the termination of the proceedings. Ido not think that it is within the compass of possibility that the pre sent representative of this borough, Mr. Gasket!, will ever be allowed to sit for it again ; and I believe, that there is altogether as little doubt that the Hon. W. S. Lascelles will be returned in his stead. In conjunction with these circumstances, a grand Conservatlye.dinuer is, to. be given by this borough to Mr. Las celles, on Monday, the, Ili or December.

THE. THEATRE. Last evening Shakspeare's tragedy of "Coriolanus" was re presented, for the ;tettetit of Mr.' Stuart ; he playing Califs Afar via/ Ceiriotaiitu. We believe this is Mr. Stuart's ht at appear .tinee in this charttetet.. - 'We were at first - rather inclined to think that his representation of Corioian its,--the high minded, proud, anditopet nous Rom In partook too much of vehemence - ~r re-consideration . of the character, we were in clined ter -4ualiftr that opinien.' The scene in the market place, where Coriolanus brings himself to solicit the suffrages of the petiple - tn elect him as Consul, was played in the full spirit of 'the 'character and - betrayed much study of the part. It carried not th&eathor'ittnexpressed meaning. The answer to the citi zens 'puffed up with their own importance, wheu asking what had brought httn there to ask their suffrages;— • Not mine,own desire.. 'Twos never my desire vet • To•trou* the poor with begging," , . .was.splendidlydelivered.

You being their mouth, why rule you not their teeth? Have you not set.them on ?" - is deserving of especial notice; the action and the delivery were beautiful, and met with an immediate response from the audience. We have not time to notice fully the piece. In some parts, however, there was a degree of mouthing and almost raving violence, which, if carried out in nature to the extent repre. sented, would be rather a feature of a weak than of a great mind ; it was a rage where reason appeared unseated, and passion alone had sway: and our opinion of this was borne out by the silence of the audience at (to the actor) the distressing effort. In the first interview with .4.o.dius after his banishment, and with the. Roman matrons interceding with hint for the safety of their city, his acting was brilliant and successful. On the whole, we do . not doubt but Mr. Stuart will prove as happy in the per sonation of this as he has been in most of Shakepeare's finest" characters. 'Mr. Andrews planed well as Menenins, as also ditt - Mrs. Stanley 'asTuhininia. At the fall of the curtain Stuart was loudly' awl perseveringly called for, and at last was obliged to make his appearance; lie was enthusiastically cheered. lie ' briefly, from his exhausted state,•tendered his heartfelt thanks for the -spletitlid 'testimony of the approbation of the public he had before hiM. He might he permitted also to infer from the large audience before him that his success had kept pace with their approbation. On'retiring he was greeted again with en thusiastic cheers. The house, we are happy to say, was very • . We perceive that Mrs. and Miss Stanley take their benefit on Wednesday night.: - Mrs. Stanley, as the female tragedian. of the company, and Miss Stanley, as a. most-pleasing general actress, have considerable claims on the public. We heartily wish them success. - CONSECRATION - ST. •.-MARY'S CHURCH, KIRKDALE. Yesterday afternoon, St. Mary's Church, recently erected at Kirkdale, was visited by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Chester and of the•diecese; - for the purpose of being consecrated. The service commenced at two &dock. The church is a neat small church of gothic architecture, and built of brick, substan tial but divested of all costly ornament: it is situated at a little to the left of the road at Kirkdale. The church was built by subscriptions, and cost, including the organ, (which though small, is a very handsome one,) £3,300. It is calculated to seat. 1,064 persons, 150 of which sittings are let at a low rate, and 164 are free for the use of the poor. The interior is built withawo parallel side aisles, and has a neat gallery round. The organ is placed in. a gallery over the communion table. The minister's stipend is derived from the pew-rents, and it is re markable' that although the church has only been opened a few weeks, under licence from the Bishop, yet the whole of the seats intended to .be let, with the exception of ten, are taken. The . patronage of the church is vested in five trustees Messrs. Win. Potter, T. B. Hairsfall, Rd. Johnson, Samuel tane. and Thos. DiVver. Tie minister appointed is the Rev. David James. We knew of no place where a church is more wanted, in the midst of a thickly opulated district with no church near. A dissent ing chapel hits looef some time established there, which, from the want of. church accOmModation, drew many members of the establishment to it. A very handsome communion service has-been presented to the church by Mr. T. B. Horsfall. The -books were given by J. C. Mullineux, 1.7,5 q., and the velvet li cushions. 'Aliss Mtillineux, of Srapleland. At two o'clock the Bishop-entered, - and was followed by a number of the, clergy; . we observed the Rev. T. G. Leigh, the Rey. T. -Moss,l-teV. Mr: 'Hassell, Rev. J.

Frederick Barker, of - Edge-hill, Rev. Mr. 'Barker," of Everton, Rev. Mr. Lyons. Rev. Mr. Ormrod , &c. - The trustdeed having been read by the Rev. Mr. Ward, of Chester, -the' Deputy'-register, the Bishop went through the ceremony of consecration, walking down the aisles, preceded by the mitre and followed by the clergy, repeating after him the usual formular.' After the ceremony of consecration had been gene through, the Rev. D. James ascended the reading desk and read the evening service. The Bishop then delivered a very forcible end excellent sermon, taking for his text the Second Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians, the 6th chapter and 16th verse, " Ye are the temples of the living God." From this text the Right Rev. Prelate drew a beautiful comparison betwixt the temple they were met that day to dedicate to the worship of the Almighty,—" an object calculated to raise our hearts from this perishing world above things seen to things unseen"--and his hearers as "temples of the living God," calling upon them to dedicate themselves as a lsuch to the Al mighty. After the sermon an appropriate hymn was sung and a col lection made in aid of the funds for providing free and cheap sittings in the church. The collection amounted to £lO. ~ t TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Beim; in the habit of occasionally attending divine ser vice at the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, I was agreeably surprised last Sunday evening at finding the singers again in their places, as I understood they were paid off and discharged by the new town council. On eligeiring, I was informed that these liberal gentlemen have so arranged matters that the singers are to remain for six months longer ! Is it that these liberal gentle men (for so they call themselves) begin to see that they are carrying their liberal and reformed measures too far, and are ashamed of their splenetic conduct towards the church ?—or what is their reason fur coining forward in to very liberal a manner as to allow the singers to remain six months longer? By giving me this information you will greatl y ohlig A Cl-lURCHMAN. Liwerpaol, 14111 November, 1836. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 8,- 7 -We have all heard of late a great deal said about the Corporation Schools, and the change made in the management of them by•our new-fangled governors. It has for some time occurred to me that these self-same schools do not belong to the Corporation, and that the power they exer cise over them is usurpvd. I have some recollection of an old school, in School-lane, formerly belonging to vile freemen, and to them only. This school was pulled down some 20 or 25 years ego, and the new wing of the blue school built on the site thereof. This school way endowed with a very handsome sum, and some fields where Abercrombv-square and that neighbourhood now stands did . belong to,if. I bare endeavoured to get to the bottom of this piece of busi ness. but alt I can find out is. that the old Corporation, (I know not by what authority, j sold all this property, and built the new schools with the proceeds. Upon.this.showing it is plain the schools belong to the free men, and to : them alone. Pei haps some of your correspondents can throw a little mote .light on this subject ; if so, I shall feel much s, AN OLD FREEMAN, Liverpool, llth Nocember, 1836.

N A T oa A I.Cottiosirs.—On the small artificial pond called Ca nounaills Loch, may ,be daily. seen during the winter a solitary sea-gull, swimming about apart from the ducks which so nume rously frequent, the loeh. tie leaves it every night, and returns again in the inorniog. For a numberof years he has unerringly, at a ceitain,seasun. taken his :flight to other shores; and with the same regularity . as to time, been seen c i rc li ng aro und the little loch before alighting to take up his winter sojourn. But it is remarkable, that, as it foreseeing the early storm, he has this year returned a week sooaer than, usual, having made " his first appearance this Season' . on Tuesday, the 9 5th October, ( two d a ys before the frost set in.) It may Ite surmised that this singular bird would not quit his tribe and native eleMent, and forego the wild pleasure of " brushing the white sail with his whited wing," unless he had a reason of his own for it; and the food administered to him by the kindly hind of Dr. Neill is a very substantial one. ROCKET ExPEnisikmTs.—On Thursday, Mr. Carte, of the Citadel at this place, exhibited a number of experiments with rockets, for the purpose of showing their utility in cases of ship wreck. The experiments commenced by showing the faciiity With which lines may be fired from a vessel to form a communi cation With the shore; this was varied to show the distances which a line may be thrown ; in one instance it being fired di rectly at a vessel at WO yards, and another firing over the pilot beat, moored at a distance from' the sloop in order to carry the s liue 150- yards., ~The. wind was blowing fresh from the west ward, and therefore tested more strongly the invention. The rocket is laid in a frame, to which is attached the line, which is elevated:according to the distance required to be thrown. In every case the results were most satisfactory; various elevations ,were adopted to,show the range of the rockets.—Hull Observer REV. D. O'Cnot.v.—This gentleman, who has been favour ing the public for some months past with several important pamphlets, exposing the finances of the Romish Church, and the political. power which : the priests were assuming, has at length, in a farewell address to the Roman Catholics of the. diocese of COrk,,ren tunced completely the errors of the Church or Rome, and now,. professes himself a member of our Protes tant establishment. The Rev. Gentleman, after stating the reasons whiclr.induced: him to take this step, says I—" What, therefore, remains for me to do but to attach myself, without further loss of time,',to an establishment which inculcates the worship of the true God, preaches to sinners repentance and re mission of sins, through Christ, venerates antiquity, rejects novelties,- condemns superstition, abhors persecution, encou rages free inquiry,, and admonishes all to embrace the simple truths of the Gospel? Ido therefore now confess myself to be in communion with Church of England, or more prop,e,rly speaking, with the Christian Church diffused through the wd h 3 of which the Church of England is only a portion, is made up of all such, of every clime and nation, profess, agreeably to the Gospel, to seek the kingdom and his righteousness." r the choicest a s u t :i d i o i cfweGreol isi \VINES AT Cures coo WS. —That the wines are () city or taste nut or scut, and that there is enough tisi:t,ketiedrY, junior, will at once be inferred from the fact, thatet,:t , , which the house is supplied, and which isi:, A0 , i .7 "*()`''. of Parliament son, contains a stock which is valued at 1.; i i i , ,, , , , i , cellar for yon!"—any of the Irish A . 1 ' 1 1 , 1 , 3 %hole or it It be would exclaim.

LIGHT SOVSHEIGNS.—It is not generally known that the Bank of England weight of lOU sovereigns is 200 grains less than that of the Royal Mint; if they weigh less than that, they weigh less than that, they are invariably refused as light. The Bank weight of a single sovereign (a quatter of an ounce) is exactly two grains lighter than that of the Mint; such differ ence being allowed for the wear by friction, to which the coin is liable while in circulation; but if the wear exceed two grains, there is good reason tor believing that unfair means have been used in the diminution of weight, either by the use of the tile, or by what is technically' termed sietutiny.
