IF the " Bill to Repeal the present Oaths, and to substitute a single Oath in their room," which has been introduced into the House of Commons by Lord Jons litrasELL, were considered simply with reference to the previous efforts of its pro moter in the same direction, no language could condemn too forcibly the pertinacity which would force on a Legislature, nominally Christian, men who believe Christianity to be an imposture. This point has, however, been so often argued, that it would be needless to go over the same ground again, inasmuch as the Upper House of Parliament has over and over declared, by increasing majo rities, that it will not admi=t to the privilege of lawgivers those who wlll not swear allegiance upon the true faith of a Christian." When, however, it is considered that the sole object of 'the Minister's pertinacity is simply to enable Mr. ROTHSCHILD to take his seat in Parliament for the , city of London, the enorniity of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL is guilty is the more glaring. It is now some years since this paragon of self-sufficiency was returned for the city of London, and it was believed that his colleague, Mr. ROTHSCHILD, paid the very heavy expenses incurred, upon the under standing that the Minister should obtain an alter ation of the law, selhat the hitherto excluded Jew should be enabled'to taluThis seat. Session after session Lord Jonv RUssILL attempted to fulfil his part of the bargain, but without success. He could not influence the. Ituu3e of Lords, inor could he persuade any, , but those who esteemed Chris tianity as of no value, that it was proper or expe dient to destroy the safeguard provided in - the Oath of Abjuration for the preservation of the nominal Christian character of the Legislature. It may be remarked that this was not a question in which the English Jews as a body took any interest. It was their pride that .they owned no country but 'their long-desired Jerusalem, pre serving their nationality in their isolation; and it is only to gratify the personal .ambition of Mr. ROTHSCHILD 'that this vexed question 'has been allowed year after year to disturb the public mind with a pertinacity worthy of a better cause. Repeated aulures appear to *have had no effect in diverting Iserd JOHN RIISSELV from his'unholy design, but, unsuccessful in his *direct attempt, he is now endeavouring to accomplish the same object by a measure frau*ht with infinitely more danger to tho•canstitntion, and -so mischievous in its tendency, :as to render it doubtful whether even the House of Comm Ons will endorse - the bill by voting fof its second reading. No longer con fining the alteration to the Jew, who has no faith as a Christian; the bill proposes to abolish the oath taken by the Romanist members, and thereby to destroy the guarantee afforded by the clause in the oath by •which the Romanist swears, " I .do hereby disdain), disavow, and solemnly-abjure any intention to subvert the present Church establish ment as .sealed . by law within this realm. And I do solemnly swear. that I never will exercise any privilege to which Lam, or may become, entitled to disturb or weaken the Protestant religion or Protestant ,government in the United .Kingdom. And I do solemnly; in the' presence of God, profess, testify, and declare, -thaw Ido make-this declara tion, and every part thereof, in the plain and ordi-. nary sense of the words. Hof this oath, without any evasion, equivocation, or mental reservation what soever." This -apparently plain declaration has not been found sufficient to restrain many of the Irish Brigade, gtho ....Compensate for their latter want of gentlemanly 'feelings by their zeal to-the bidding of the Romish priests who sent then , to parliament ; but .what must' be the effect, whew the restraint is taken otf,•and eves , Romanist member 'has full liberty, with .the . assistance of Enr,ligh Radicals, who own Allegiance to no religion, to assail the Church and the :liberties of Protestants . in every way which Jesuitical, cunning can devise, and malevolence execute? 'This an innovation fax,more deadly in its consequences than even the notorious Romish aggression, which aroused the keenest feelings of insulted Protestantism, and shookeke kingdom to its 4entre, ;though the agi tation failed of its intended effect. Th at, however, was a blow from without, wkichit was the duty of our rulers to have resisted; while this ,is An insidi ous andltreacherous attack from within, by those who should be defenders of the citadel. We have beforewserted,and every event has proved:the truth of the assertion, that, under the Miserable plea of civil and religious lilserty, , which is a .cry that may be made lo snit any purpose, Lord jonN RussgLL has ever been the bitterest enemy of the Protes tant faith. He has fostered and encouraged every aggressive step .on the pai4 of Rome, and, if .any lingering doubt eats remain as to his traitorous perfidy, the bill he has now proposed should open the eyes of his misguided adherents to the danger of the precipice to which he is leading them. The bill he has now proposed would, if the legis lature dared to pass it into a taw, break down the last barrier left by Protestant care in 1829 for the preservation of the national religion, hold out a premium to the Romish priests to swell their majority in the House of Commons, and leave no cheek to -the most unscrupulous Assaults upon that Church, which the QUEEN in her Coronation oath and the Ministers in their oaths of office have sworn to defend to the utmost of their power. It is a wretched moekery of solemn obligations, a blasphemous profanity, to impoie any form of Oath whatever, or deem it binding upon the conscience of a legislator, when Ministers of State can be so oblivious of their oaths as to propose such a Bill for the sanction of Parliament, with the prospec tive necessity , of having to advise HER MAJESTY to commit the deliberate perjury of giving it the Royal Assent, though such assent could only be obtained through the same Jesuitical craft which advised King CHARLES I. that he had a public conscience as well as a private conscience, in order to induce him to consent to the murder of the Earl of STRAFFORD. We cannot believe that either House of Parliament will do such violence to their own consciences as to give their sanction to a mea sure which stands out prominent in its infamy ; and it is not unlikely that even its proraster, with all his hardihood, la already appalled at his own daring, as he has postponed the second reading to The British lion was apparently dosing, lulled by the 24th of next month, four weeks after the time the dulcet tones of Manchester men, who cared originally fixed for this ordeal, and may by that nothing about national honour, and knew nothing time have discovered the folly of endeavouring to about the balance of power : but the word to arm press it any further. was given, and the people have started as a nation The danger, however, is too great, the risk too of heroes determined to emulate the glory of their imminent, to be left to ministerial prudence, or ancestors, who never drew the sword but in the even the probable course which may be taken by cause of justice, and never turned their backs the House of Commons. The country is called upon an enemy. If the Emperor NICHOLAS relied upon, if they value the blessings they enjoy, to upon the peaceful habits of commercial Englishmen speak and act for themselves, to make public as immunity for his ambitious designs upon Tur opinion heard in unmistakeable tones, and to exer- key, the very enthusiasm with which the quarrel h cise that pressure from without which must tellas been entered upon, should s erve t o s h ow hi m with effect upon the representatives of the people the reed on which he leant.

It can no longer be said that devotion to the arts of peace nor means left untried to convince the legislature that Protestant England will make no further has damped the military spirit of .England ; and concessions to Rome. we rejoice at the circumstance, from the conviction We have given in another page a full report of that such a fleet and such an army as England the proceedings at the meeting in this town on will dispatch to the scene of conflict, will the sooner Friday.

It is noto rious that the resolutions, which were voted against on Friday by a few hundreds, would have been voted for by as many thousands, had the narrow walls been able •to 'contain them, or had the MAYOR, in his discretion, adjourned the meeting to the Amphitheatre, where more than five times the number that were in the Sessions House had already assembled, in the full expectation that the adjournment would have been decided on by The MAYOR as a matter of course. The question cannot 'however remain whereit is-; and perhaps the most advisable course would _be, for the Protestants of Liverpool to be summoned to meet in the largest building available, and there to enter their indig nant protest against this :foul and insidious attack. The voice of Liverpool must be heard in Parlia- anent against the Bill; .and, long before the 24th of March, Lord Jorrx RUSSELL must be compelled to say, " We will proceed no further in this bu sin ess." MILITARY ENTHUSIASM OF A LADY.—During the embarkation of the 28th regiment, on Wednesday, a lady, who drove down to the Pier, in her own carriage, suc ceeded in getting on to the Lauding-stage, and while the Harmonic Band were performing " The British Grena diers," took the sticks from the hands of the polite and astonished leader, Mr. Peter Stubbs, and in a fit of en thusiasm, played the drum portion with immense spirit. An eye-witness has forwarded us the following lines, sug gested by the heroic incident : In history's page how oft we find The bravest acts by woman's hand : 'Midst carnage, strife, the wound she'll bind, With soothing look, and eye so bland. In days of ancient chivalry, Knights fell to her on bended knee, She gave the banner, pledge, or prize, Men fought for love and ladies' eyes. If ages gone, then, heroines boast, In present day we find the same, Brave woman comes, amongst the host Einbarking,—tyranny to tame! Fair T--n, hailing freedom's cause, Discarding pride and woman's fears, • Descends, and, without word or pause, She calls to arms "The British Grenadiers." THE Bill introduced by Mr. ADDERLEY in the House of Commons for - the extension of education in Manchester and Salford, on the plan of voluntary rating, has been thrown out upon the simple plea of its interference With the more comprehensive plan of education which Lord JOHN RUSSELL has not brought in, and -does not know when he shall nn so. Notwithstanding that' he Bill was mainly supported by Conservative members and was op posed by the ultra Radicals, we feel rather inclined to ,agree with the latter. The promoters of the BM took credit for not having ignored religious instruction as an indispensable accompaniment of secular education ; but they committed a fault almost, if not quite, as mischievous, in admitting religious sects to be on an equality, and entitled to receive aid from a general contribution in propor tion 13 their relative numbers. 'What must be the feelings of a strietly conscientious Christian, when by such a law as that just, defected he would be talleti upon to contribute towards the instruction of children in Romanism, 'Judaism, Unitarianism, or any form of infidelity ? It would be an outrage upon a eiristian conscience to whida no man ought to a subject ; and yet it seems to be the only plan which the wisdom-of our legislators has been able to devise to obviate the serious objections which are properly entertained to the extension of secular education. The first demand, and the only legitimate .ene, is for religions instruction to the children of the poor ; and the first step in advance is met by an. eatery from every form of religious dissent, each being more anxious for the propaga tion of Their own tenets than fearful that : their fellow-creatures should be left in ignorance. The Government has not the moral courage to insist that all'indruction contributed by the State shall be the•religion of the State : and so, session after session is wasted in the discussion of inspracticabie projects,. and nothingis done. Let none despise, who cannot feel the glow Of 'valour in that fair one's breast; 'Tie her's, and only such as her to throw True halo o'er a cause so blest; And blest is freedom, in whatever land, For freedom did she beat with feeling hand. Usurper. pause l•fear England's host, Whene'er i s lair ones aid the cause of right, For were't 'gainst us you made your boast, 'Tie she. perhaps, might meet you in the fight I As Sarragosaa's mod Iter city saved— Guided the match that set Its people free— As she, for liberty, all danger braved, Fair T —D England's heroine would be.—J. C. THE Scxzw-SrEAmiza CHARITY sailed on Wednesday from the Clyde, for Portland, United States. THE LI-VORNO which put into Lisbon with her screw loose from the shaft, arrived here on Sunday afternoon. Mrssus. Fox, HENDERSON AND CO. have contracted 'for the building of the Paris docks. A company has been organized under their auspices to carry out the project. THE REV. H. H. HIGGINS is about to deliver, in the Collegiate institution, a series of three lectures on the •" Sacred Localities of the East," the proceeds of which will be devoted to the erection of schools in connexion with the new church of St. Chrysostom, Everton. IsLE or MAN.—The Manx Sun says,—" The cod-fish. ling, notwithstanding the boisterous weather during part of the week, has been prosecuted with success. Large (shipments were made_ for the Liverpool market by the (steamer on Tuesday and yesterday, from this port. The oquantity , of fresh fish shipped yesterday for the English markets from the Manx luggers and English trawl-boats vras. very large." - - Two 'SERMONS were preached at St. Stephen's Church, Byrom-street, on Sunday; in the morning by the Rev. A. Hume, L.L.D., D.C.L.,-and in the evening by the Rev. IL .Ponsonby Linton, M.A. This church• is now in a thorough state of repair, and comfortably seated ; offering accommodation for 600 persons, the sittings in which are very inexpensive, and may be had on application at the vestry. LAMA:BTM .tlin CARLISLE RAILWAY.—The revenue account of this company for the half-year ending the 31st of January shows that £162,404 had been received and £67,808 expended, leaving a balance of £94,696. To this sum is -added £4,267, the balance from the last account, making £98,853. From this is deducted £64,216 for divi dend, at the rate of Eli per._cent. on the Lancaster and Carlisleishares, £7,085 for interest on loans, and £28,607 the Lancaster and Preston Railway Company's proportion of the traffic ; leaving a balance of £8,943 for the next ac count. Cost or 'LIVERPOOL POLICE.—The return made by Mr. W. fibuttleworth, town-clerk of this borough, in compliance with an order of parliament, shows that the total cost of the police-force, exclusive of any charge in respect of cost of station-houses and bridewells, or of interest of any money expended in their construction, amounted, in 1852, to £41,344 25., of which sum £16,918 2s. 10d. was paid by the Dock Trustees, under the provi sions of a local act, as the cost of the portion of the force employed in the dock division. This division consists of twent-six officers and 279 constables ; the town division of eighty officers and 501 constables, making the total force of the borough 886 men. The amount raised by the rate for the expenses of the town division was £11,892 10s. ld., the rate being made at 1 191-200 d. upon property of the rateable value of £1,459,895. The amount beyond the rate and the sum received from the trustees of the docks was paid out of the borough funds. ILLICIT DISTILLATION—On Saturday, John Price, carrying on the business of a druggist in Whitechapel, under the nsune of Denson and Co., was summoned for an infraction of the Inland Revenue-laws. It appears that the Customs' authorities have reason to suspect that an illicit manufacture of spirits of wine is carried on in or near Liverpool on a very extensive scale, and they are conse quently on the alert. From information received, Mr. Chadwick was induced to visit defendant's premises on the 23d of December last, when he discovered fifteen and whalf gallons of spirits of wine, (a quantity very much exceeding what druggists usually keep in stock,) for which Mr. -Price could show no permit to remove, and which there was not the least doubt had been illegally distilled, and never paid duty. Its strength was 52 overproof, and the duty .would amount to £9 4s. The spirits had been seized, and an information laid, under an act the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., cap. 54, section 32, by which a penalty of £lOO /might be inflicted, or a mitigated one of £26, at the discretion of the magistrates. After a short deliberation, the magistrates fined Mr. Price in the mitigated penalty of £26. IT is so long :duce this country entertained any notion of serious war, on a scale of magnitude, that the preparations for the coming struggle with the vast Empine of Russia have created a more than usual degree of excitement. Nearly forty years, the ordinamdaratiou ,of peace in the ancient kingdom of Israel, have elapsed since the crowning victory of Waterloo terminated the European strife of nations, a new generation has sprung up to whom war is but a matter of history, and manufactures and commerce have taken the place of arms. It might have been thought that, after so long a pe riod of rest and inactivity, the ancient spirit which placed Great Britain at the topmost pinnacle of national greatness had died within us, and that we should have met the call to " arm, arm and out," with the same feeling which animates the profess ing members of the Peace Society, who would oppose the bayonets of Russian serfs with soft speeches and cotton bales. But a very brief time has served to dispel the illusion., The temporising Cabinet exhausted the art s of diplomacy without making. any -impression on Imperial stolidity, and then, goaded into activity by popular remonstrance, made the signal for war. How it has been re sponded to, the events of the last few days will tell. Thousands of troops have left the kingdom for the scene of strife, amidst the enthusiastic acclamations of tens of thousands of their fellow-countrymen. Regiments have found an ample supply of w illi ng recruits to fill up their ranks even beyond the re quirements of additional numbers ; and volunteers for the Royal Navy have offered in hundreds from all parts—so that an additional fleet to sweep the Baltic and blockade Russia in her northern ports is being manned with almost incredible celerity. MR. HENRY COLEMAN, THE POLTPTIONIST.-111 refer ence to the performances of this talented gentleman, we find the following-remarks in the Birmingham Mercury, which we extract with much pleasure :—" On the occasion of visiting Liverpool a few days ago, we were much surprised and delighted to find our old friend Coleman, 'Mathews the elder's second self," starring 'it at the Clayton-hall, Clay ton-square—a new and very beautiful building recently added to the public edifices of that town, and nightly drawing around him the elite of the northern metropolis. The success which attended ' Masks and Faces,' when re presented in this town for a period of something like three months, and the high opinion everywhere entertained of Mr. Coleman's rare talent and rich genuine humour, must be familiar to every reader of the Mercury. Depending entirely upon himself and a few stage adjuncts, in the shape of pictorial and musical illustrations, alike remark able for beauty and effect, Mr. Coleman has succeeded in producing an entertainment as complete, and polished,and amusing, as full of racy mirth and well-drawn sketches of actual life and character—as any yet presented before a British audience. Many have attempted to follow in the same wake, and imitations have sprung up on every hand, but Mr. Coleman is without any compeer, and is destined to achieve a name and a reputation in whatever part of the globe he may appear. It is not to be wondered at, then, that the good people of Liverpool, whosedaste and judg ment in such matters are not unknown to us, should set a substantial value upon ' Masks and Faces,' and nightly crowd to witness and applaud Mr. Coleman's extraordinary exertions. It is an appropriate and well-deserved compli ment to their talented and popular townsman. We trust there is no foundation for the rumour current in this towfl a few months back, that Mr. Coleman contemplates a visit to Australia. We cannot afford to part with him yet, and feel assured Ogt tiicry is a wide field open to him at home. POLICE COURT-YESTERDAY, ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.-Emily Elmes, a servant girl, was charged with stealing several handkerchiefs, the property of Mrs. Moon, with whom she was a servant ; and also with stealing, at different times, a sovereign, a half-sovereign, and a number of postage stamps, belong ing to the Rev. Mathews, who lodged in the house. Complaint of the numerous thefts having been made, a policeman was sent for, who questioned the servants, and suspicion fixed itself on the prisoner. In her fox were found a number of postage stamps, cut from the sheet in such a way as to be readily identified, and also two two penny postage stamps; no other portions of the stolen property were found, and no money was iu the box. It was proved, .however, that the prisoner had, within a short period, purchased several articles of apparel, although she was known to have been very poor. The postage stamps were identified by the Rev. Mr. Mathews, as part of his property; but he said he did not wish to press the case against the prisoner. The magistrate declined to accede to a withdrawal of the case. The prisoner said she found the postage stamps lying on the floor of a passage,. between two rooms, but admitted they were not hers, and that she did not tell any one as to her having found them. She was sentenced to be imprisoned for two months. ROBBERY IN A\ IMPROPER HOUSE.—Elizabeth Lang was charged with robbing a mulatto sailor of 20s. between Saturday night and Sunday morning. It appeared the prosecutor accompanied the prisoner to her lodgings, where he averred sbe took the money out of his pocket. This she peremptorily denied, and no evidence corroborative of his statement being produced, the case was dismissed; the magistrate advising the prosecutor to be more circumspect in his future choice of company. STEALING A SHAWL PROM A CHILD.—Ann Wilkin son was charged with stealing a shawl, on Monday, the 6th instant, from a girl about eight years of age, named Richardson, living in Newport-street. The girl gave her evidence in a very straightforward manner. She had been sent, she said, by her aunt, and in going along the street the prisoner accosted her, and said she (the girl) must not stay her errand nor lose the shawl, and as an encourage ment to her activity and care gave her a half-penny to get some sweets, saying she (the prisoner) would take care of the shawl, which she put into her basket, and while the girl was in the shop ran away. The witness on Saturday night last, being along with her mother in the street, met the prisoner and immediately pointed her out as the woman who had stolen the shawl, The prisoner was accordingly taken into custody. The girl was quite positive as to her Identity. Mr. Clough said, that while the present examination had been going on, he had been informed that other charges of a similar nature would be made and substantiated against the. prisoner; and he applied for a remand. The prisoner was accordingly re manded till this day (Tuesday). .._ AN UNGRATEFUL THIEF.-Alice Taylor was charged with stealing a number of articles of wearing apparel from the house of Mary Slater, in Bannister-street, on the morning of Saturday last, she having been taken into the house as an act of charity. The prosecutrix, who was so very hoarse that her statement could be scarcely heard or understood, said that, on Saturday morning, about nine o'clock, she had occasion to go out, and left the prisoner in her house, who was to wash a sheet ; on returning, she found the prisoner had decamped, and carried with her all that was portable within her reach. Prisoner admitted that she had stolen some of the things. The case was remanded for seven days. PICKING POCKETS TN QUEEN-SQUAME. — William Howard and Williams were charged by Russell, a de tective officer, with attempting to pick the pocket of a lady, in Queen-square, on Saturday night. The case was remanded till this day (Tuesday). STEALING A. CHAlR.—Margaret Wilson, a poor look ing woman, advanced in years, was charged with stealing a chair, from the premises of James Hopkins, 101, Mill street, on Saturday night last. The charge was proved, and the prisoner, who had on previous occasions been convicted, was sentenced to be imprisoned for a month. PICKING POCKETS.—Patrick Rourke and Cornelius Mellior, two boys, were charged with endeavouring to pick the pockets of several ladies, in the neighbourhood_ of St. John's-market, on Saturday last. Mellior, who although young, is an expert thief, had got Rourke to life the ladies' dresses while he put his hand into their pockets. They were caught in the act, and Mellior, who had been six times convicted on previous occasions, was sentenced to be imprisoned for three months. Rourke, who appeared to be but a novice in the art, and was by profession a ballad singer, was given up to his father, the magistrate , advising him to send his son to the ragged-school, to acquire some decent and more useful occupation. SINGULAR CASE.—Wm. Watson, a sailor, was charged with passing a counterfeit coin, on Sunday night, about nine o'clock, in a public-house, in Millicent-street. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and another man went into the public-house, where they had some refreshment, in payment for which he put down what appeared to be a gold coin, and requested that he might have his change. The servant of the house, an elderly woman, not having change, and her mistress being from home, took the coin to an adjoining house and requested change for it, with which request the landlady at once complied, and gave a sovereign and twenty shillings in silver, being, as she believed, its value, in change ;- this was conveyed to the prisoner. Soon after, the woman who had given the change was informed that the coin she had changed was, in reality, no coin at all, and was of no value. She immediately applied for restitution of her two pounds, and after a little altercation the prisoner was given into custody. On being produced in court, the alleged coin proved to be a token, of light yellow metal, and bearing as an inscription that it was a token for " magnetic powder for rate." The woman who first got , it from the prisoner, on being asked by the magistrate if she had closely observed the coin, said she had not; the woman who gave the change said she could not read, as did also the prisoner. The magistrate then remarked that if any of them had examined the coin, and been able to read, they most at once have seen it was not of any value at all. The prisoner said he got it in New Orleans, as a ten-dollar piece, and as such had kept it since, and believed it to be of that value when he offered it on Saturday. The magistrate dismissed the case, remarking. that it af f orded a very plain illustration of the value of education ; he also advised the prisoner to be more cautions in future as to the sort of money he received or offered. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—John Fakelough was fined ss. for assaulting police-constable No. 195, on Sunday night ; Edwin Hawin, for assaulting police-constable No. 713, on Sunday night ; and Peter Mackie, for assaulting police-constable 335, on Saturday, were each ordered to pay a fine of 10s., or to be imprisoned seven days. John Thompson, a lorry-driver, was likewise fined 10s., or seven days' imprisonment, for assaulting a policeman. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT UPON A WlFE.—Hugh Mae donald was charged with a very aggravated assault upon his wife, whose head and face presented a sad testimony of the violence with which she had been assailed, being deeply and extensively cut, and frightfully smeared with: blood. She stated that she had lived apart from her hus band for the last four or five years. On Sunday morning, about two o'clock, he came to the door of the apartment in which she lived, and, having demanded admittance, which she refused, being afraid of him, he immediately burst two panels out of the door, after which he forced his way into the room, while she screamed for assistance. The ferocious brute then lifted a heavy earthenware jug, with which he struck her violently on the head and face, breaking the vessel to fragments, and wounding her in the manner which her person exhibited. On being called on for his defence, he entered into a rambling recrimina tory statement, brit did not deny the assault. The magis trate, after commenting in terms of great severity on the inhuman and brutal extent of the outrage, sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for six months, with hard labour. ST. DAVID'S DAY.—We hear that the vicar of Cirnaillb von, the preacher for St. David's-day, will preach also at St. David's Church, to-morrow evening. AN OVERCHA.GE.—At the police court, on Saturday, D. Orr, 810, driver of one of Mr. Taylor's cars, was summoned, at the instance of Mr. Thursby, inspector of hackney coaches, for having grossly imposed on. a fare. A gentle man stated, that, between seven, and eight o'clock on the evening of the 16th instant, he wished to go from the Royal Hotel, in Dale-street, to a party at a house at the bottom of Brunswick-road, and engaged the defendant to , drive him there. They went round by Church-street, and on reaching their destination "cabby" made him pay 4e. the driver having demanded 2s. 6d. more than he was Mr. Thursby stated that the legal fare was only Is. 6d., en titled to. The magistrate ordered him to return the half crown, to which he was not entitled, fined him 68. for the overcharge, and a further fine of 2s. for not giving a ticket • to his fare as legally required. AMALGAMATION OF LEARNED BODIDS IN LIVERPOOL. —Liverpool is pushing on that desirable reform, an amal gamation of its learned bodies, with spirit and success. The committee charged with the consideration of ways and means has adopted a report. This report is now be fore us, and it is a document to be read with pleasure. A complete union of the Historic Society and Literary and- Philosophical Society is recommended in the strongest terms. The junction of these, again, with the Polytechnic, is considered as in the highest degree desirable. It is thought, and perhaps correctly, that the Architectural Society, having objects of a special and professional kind, should stand alone, as at present, The committee also recommend the formation of sections for the separate dis cussion of such subjects as natural history, practical science, antiquities, and general literature. In fact, it is proposed to create an institute for Liverpool, which shall represent all the arts and foster all the sciences. We note this sign of progress in the north with the greater pleasure, as we find that in nooks and corners of our metropolitan learned bodies there remain many prejudices against co-operation and joint action for a common end. The Liverpool committee is said to have made its report in favour of union with cordiality and unanimity of feeling, and hope to surprise even the warmest advocates of this moving reform.—Athenamm. holy THE LIFE-BOAT D ISASTER .—Th e m eunc . loss of life by the capsizi ng o f th e s t eam - tug company's hfe-boat, to which we alluded last week, has called forth sympathy of the whole town, as evidenced by the general ra i se d for the desire to subscribe to the fund that is being_ fellows wh,, ' relief of the widows and children of the pc i ) :: c „ f those ' the active lost their lives when proceeding t e t ) , for the purpose of rously coming forward, not merely on board the Cherokee.
