CAPITAL, £120,000, in 4,800 SHARES, of £25 each. DEPOSIT, £1 10s. PER SHARE. rHIs Railway, by a Junction with the St. Helens Line, will complete the Railway communication between the favourite watering-place of Southport and Manches ter, Liverpool, and the densely populated manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well is Birming ham. and the other large towns communicating with the Grand Junction Railway. It is brought out under the auspices of the Liverpool and Manchester and St. Helens Railway Companies, and wite these Companies arrangements have been made for the purpose of securing a minimum dividend of four per cent. to the Shareholders of the proposed Line, together with. an equal division of all profits beyond this amount. Independently of the revenue to be derived from the large number of Passengers who now frequent the rapidly increasing town of Southport, the Local Passenger Traffic, and the carriage of Agricultural Produce, the Line, for the greater portion of its distance, will pass through the rich and extensive Coal-fields of Rainford, Bickerstaffe, and Lathom, where several Collieries are already opened, and nearly the whole of the produce of which district must use the improved mode of transit to be furnished by this Line. The income of the proposed Line, which has been estimated from the present traffic, and at a much lower rate than the ordinary Parliamentary rule, shows a nett profit, after an ample allowance for working expenses, of upwards of six per cent. on the contemplated outlay. The Line which has been selected is entirely free from engineering difficulties, and the Provisional Committee feel perfect confidence in stating that the cost, including the preliminary expenses and th necessary Stations, will not exceed the Capital of £120,000. This Capital is proposed to be raised in 4,800 Shares, of £25 each, and a deposit of £1 10s. per Share will be re quired on taking the same. No further call will be made till the Act is obtained, and interest to the amount of Four per Cent. will be al lowed on nll payments from the passing of the Act to the opening of the Line. Shar — eholderstiWiiie St. Helens Railway will have a pre ference in the allotment of the Shares, application for which must be addressed, on or before the 15th day of October instant, to Mr. WHITLEY, Solicitor, High-street, Liverpool, or to the Secretary of the Company, at the Rail way-office, St. Helens. By order of Provisional Committee, ARTHUR SINCLAIR, Secretary. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Provisional Committee of the St. Helens. and Southport Railway Company. I request that you will allot me Shares in the pro posed St. Helens and Southport Railway; and I. agree to take such Shares, or so many thereof as may be adored to me, and to pay the deposits thereon, and to execute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when required so to do. Name Description Residence Date• • IMPORTANT TO THE FASHIONABLE WORLD.—By far the most influential of the graces that contribute to per sonal adornment is the Hair. Its recovery, preservation, and improvement, proportionably concern the elegantes of our fashionable circles, and any information which will ensure these desirable results will be hailed as an inesti mable boon. The following extract from the letter of a respectable chemist in Bridlington will be read with the highest interest :—" A lady, a customer of mine, has found great benefit from the use of your Balm. About six months ago her hair nearly all fell off. I recom mended her to try your Balm of Columbia, which she did. In the course of a few applications the hair ceased to fall off. Before she had used one 3e. Gd. bottle it be gan to grow very profusely, and she has now a beautiful head of Hair. I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully, " WM. SMITH, Chemist and Druggist, • " Market-place, Bridlington. " To Messrs. C. and A. Oldridge, • " March 13, 1844." C. and A. OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA causes the Hair to curl beautifully, frees it from scurf, and stops it from falling off, and a few bottles generally restore it again ; it also prevents greyness. 3s.

WOOLTON FLORAL, HORTICULTURAL, AND AGRICULTURAL MEETING. The last Woolton Meeting of the Season, for the Show of Dahlias, Plants. Fruits, &c., took place on Thur,.day last. The marquee was very gaily adorned with flags, evergreens, decorative plants, and devices. The day was fine and the company numerous and select, comprising many of the most distinguished individuals and families of the locality. Of the show we may say that it equalled, and in some departments surpassed any former exhibition there, thus proving the beneficial effect of the Society in exciting honourable and useful competition, not only amongst the wealthier cultivators of the soil, but, we are glad to add, amongst the humbler farmers and the cottagers of the neighbourhood. Amongst the rarer exotics, were two tine specimens sent by R. Alison, Esq., of the /Eschynanthus Gondiflora,—one trained in a flat form, and another, more interesting to cur taste, growing pendant from a pot. The Pelargoniums were very fine for the advanced period of the season; but the Dahlias neither quite so fine on the whole, nor so numerous as at the last autumnal show. Several well grown perfect blooms were, howeser, contributed by It. W. Preston, and T. Rawson, Esqrs. The Roses were es pecially worthy of notice; some years ago we could not have seen a collection of this Queen of British Flowers of such varied hues, beauty, and variety. There were some splen did Cape Heaths. particularly those flowering in concentra ted bunches. The fruits brought up were excellent. A splendid dish of black grapes was shown, from the gardens of Ambrose Lace, Esq. The peaches were very large and tempting, perticularly those sent by Mr. Blunt of the head inn, who was also successful in other specimens of garden production, including splendid red cabbage. The apples were abundant, and nearly all of very fine kinds. We should say, judging from the several recent shows we have Sisited, that the general crop this year will be above the usual aver age, in quantity as well as quality. The vegetables were also abundant and excellent, as were the field productions, especially the Mangel Wortzel, many roots of which were of great s:ze. There was an interesting collection of simple British plants, contributed by a boy named Samuel H itch - mough, of Hale, which did him great credit. Amongst them was a specimen of the carrot in its original unim proved state, and the comparison between it and the fine specimens of the same species, after years of culture, ex bibitA in a remarkable degree the effects of horticult iral skill. We noticed some fine well arranged baskets rind hoxes of plants, and cut flowers; and amongst the devices a crown, wrought like rug work, in dahlias, &c., with the motto over it of " Long live the Queen l—also a splendid crown jewelled with brilliant flowers. The Wootton Band was in attendance, and played a variety of airs and pieces. evincing great improvement since they first appeared.— The tent was very spacious, and the whrile of the arrange ments of the committee all that could be wished. ThOugh the season was so late" there Were fine dishes of cherries and stra.berries. The receipts at the door were nearly three times as much as on any preious occasion ; and although the tent was nearly double in size to that at the last two meetings, it is expected that in future it must be further enlarged. In the following list of the principal prizes, we have (to give room) put "Ist" and " 2nd," and to signify "best" and "second best," &c. PRIZES.

Should this plan be carried out, it will shorten the distance between Liverpool and Birmingham several miles, but it is said that it will be opposed by parties interested in the navi gation of the river. SALE OF AMERICAN HAY.—On Wednesday last a sale of American hay, per the Liverpool, from New York, took place on the north quay of the Waterloo Dock. The attendance was not numerous, though the bidding was, on the whole, tolerably spirited. The hay was considered of rather inferior quality. The quantity offered was 210 bales, divided, for the convenience of purchasers, into 21 lots, of 10 bales each. The first lot went off at 7Ad. per stone: the next seventeen were knocked down at 7d., and the three remaining lots at 7+. Tare was allowed at the rate of 251bs. per bale; and parties were to remove their purchases on the day of sale. It was stated that there had been a loss by the sale of from 30 to 40 per cent. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.—On Thursday last, the Rev. Walter Butler, A.M., minister of St. Thomas' Church, Toxteth-park, was presented with a superb suite of robes—made at the'establishment of H owarth and Co., Bold • street —acco m panied with the fol. lowing valuablebooks :—Polii Sync psis , a Hebrew concord ance, and Alison's History of Europe—by the churchwar dens, Messrs. Wm. Wainwright Worthington and Charles Hunton, sen., in the name of the congregation. who have availed themselves of this opportunity of testifying their sincere and gra'eful attachment to a minister of the Gospel, whose only object is the salvation of the flock committed to his charge, and a fervent desire to expound with simplicity and faithfulness the sacred Scriptures, and make their efficacy felt in the densely populated dis trict in which the church is situated. His devoted attach ment to the cause of Christ, one of whose faithful ambas sadors he is, and the bold Christian deportment by which he defends that cause, render it impossible to speak in adequate terms, or to present any testimonial equivalent to the respect and spiritual love he entertains for his con gregation. -Al fiRTING OF THE Couiverr,.—At the usual monthly meeting of the council,lto• morrow, the proceedings of the Watch Committee will comprise the appointment of as sessors for the lighting and cleansing rates for 1844-5 ; the appointment of collectors of the collectors of Cie lighting and cleansing rates for 1844-5 ; the appointment of col lectors of the Fire-police rates, in the new parts of the borough, for 1844-5 ; and the proceedings for laying the usual Fire-police rate of one halfpenny in the pound for the same period.

The Coroner's account for the month, amounting to £6l lls. 6d., will also come under consideration. COURT OF BANRRUPTCY.—On Tuesday, Jas. Taylor, formerly commission agent, Dale-street, applied to Mr. Commissioner Phillips for his certificate. Mr. Bardswell opposed the application, on behalf of Messrs. Jones and Martin, Maltsters, of Shrewsbury, to whom the bankrupt was indebted in the sum of £215, for malt sent for sale to Liverpool on commission. The grounds of opposition were, that the bankrupt sold the malt and pocketed the proceeds, which should have been immediately trans mitted to Shrewsbury, after deducting the amount of the commission. The bankrupt was examined at considerable length, and from his answers it appeared that he had some connexion with a person of the name of Henry Burton, in the month of November, last year. He was connected with him in various joint accounts, and allowed him half the profits, but he did not consider him in the light of a partner. It appeared that the malt in question was sold to Burton, and bills drawn for the amount. The case stands adjourned for a month. Mr. Radcliffe appeared for the bankrupt. GUANO.—Since our last two cargoes of inhaboe have arrived at this port. One of them was offered by auction on Thursday, when the first lot sold at £6 55.. and the remainder were taken in for want of buyers. The sales of the week are about 100 tons, at £6 2s. 6d. to £6 55., chiefly at the latter price. For delivery the first three months of next Year, several cargoes have been sold at £6 to £6 2s. 611. The Wave has arrived at the Clyde, with a cargo from Mercury Island, the quality of which appears epal to that of Ichaboe. It was to be offered, by public sate, on Friday, the result of which has not come to hand. The following is an authentic account of Mercury Island: —in lat. 25 42 south, long. 14 58 east.- It is a mile in cir cumference, and three-quarters of a mile from the south west point of Spencer's Bay, and one mile and a half from the northwest point of that bay. Both passages are easy to take, and perfectly clear. The best anchorage is on the east side of the island, one-and-a-half cable's length from its shore, in five fathoms, on a bottom of sand and clay. Near the full and change of the moon a heavy swell often sets into the south part of the bay, and renders it there unsafe for anchorage. There can be little doubt that, like Ichaboe, Mercury Island is stocked with guano. A RADICAL EDITOR'S OPINIOS OF THE " LIVER POOL MERCURY."—It may be supposed that in noticing from time to time the inconsistencies and follies of the Liverpool Mercury, we, entertaining opposite opinions in politics, have given a colouring to our expositions which were not altogether warranted by the facts. We are certainly not aware of having ever permitted our judgement to be warped by such considerations, or that we have ever even stretched a point to overthrow our re doubtable antagonist. We found, indeed, no occasion to resort to such a mode of warfare, even had we been in clined to take such undue advantage. But we are not singular in our opinions of the absurdities put forth by the Mercury. Even his co-mate in radicalism, the Ma nchester Guardian, and his readers, have loft all patience with him. That journal of Saturday last commences an article in the following complimentary terms :—" We are almost tired, and so, we dare saw, are our readers, of the foolish twaddle of the Liverpool 21Tercurg, in reference to the division on the writ of error, but we connot per mit ourselves to be grossly misrepresented"—and the writer goes on to show that a passage in the Mercury (which he quotes) "is not an error or a misconception, but a gross and wilful misrepresentation." The Guardian, in fact, never stated that which the Mercury imputed to him, .nor'anything from which the assumption could be inferred. Ile proceeds by exposing " the nonsense which had appeared in the columns of the Mercury, and which showed about as much ignorance of facts, and of all the legal principles applicable to the case under discussion, as anything that has come under our notice." The Guardian, arter noticing another instance of the ignorance of the Mercury on the subject on Friday last, concludes with these additional compliments:—" As the editor of the Mercury is evidently quite innocent of any knowledge upon the subject, we beg to refer him to the third section of the introduction to Blackstone's Commentaries, which he may read with a double advantage to himself; namely, first, in learning what he does not know; and, secondly, in the acquisition of what he wants, namely, a little mo desty in treating of legal questions with respect to which, _ generally, his linowledge'is very _much_ behind_ that o - - -moderately well-informed and educated men." Poor Mercury ! He is surely falling, and wo may expect stormy weather. It was bad enough to provoke the hosti lity of opponents in politics; but to be written down as uttering foolish twaddle from week to week, being guilty ofgroesand vvilfulmisreprc•sentation.and being totally igno rant of the subjt ct with which he had the temerity to grapple—and that, too, by a journalist of cqual standing, with whom he has so long sailed in the same boat—surely this "was the unkindliest cut of all!" LAUNCH OF A SPLENDID NEW IRON STEAMER. —01 1 Saturday, at noon, a new iron steamer, that has been about 7 months in course of construction, was launched from the building yard of Messrs. Vernon and Co. Barrack. treet. Every inch of available space, from whence a sight could be obtained, was densely crowded, and a commodious stage was erected at hex' bows, on which a select party were accomodated, amongst whom was Miss Curtis, . „ daughter of Mr. Curtis, of the firm of Bury, Curtis and Kennedy, the builders of her engines, niece of Sir W. Curtis, Bart., on whom was conferred the honour of chris tening her. At high water the several orders were given. " out keys,"—" out wedges," and " down daggers," when, without the slightest hesitation, or any continual clattering of hammers, she moved gracefully, amidst the vociferous cheers of assembled thousands, to the bosom of that element, on which, we trust, she may long and suc cessfully ply. She was named the " Sabrina," and car ries a beautifully carved full-length figure of that charac ter. The Sabrina is 519 tons burtlien 175 feet long bet wer n perpendiculars, 25 fee' 3 inehesbeam ,and has 15 feet depth of hold • she is divided into five compartments, by watertight bulk heads, thus securing her safety in case of collision. She is what may be termed a splendid model : she has a clean entrance, good bearings, and a fine run ; and the displacement of water she causes, when compared with the cargo she will carry, is surprisingly small. Her stem, if in iron vessels the term is admissible, is carried from the water-line in what carpenters would call a beau tiful " ogee," thus giving her a width of deck room for ward that could not otherwise be obtained. In fine, she has below all the sharpness of a clipper schoo ner , an d aloft all the roomy deck of an American merc'lantmrn, without the unseemly s quareness of their bows, a plan that, in our opinion, gives her the manifold advantages of deck room and a buoyancy over her water line that would, were she going head to sea, prevent her being a wet craft. She is the first vessel constructed with Kennedy and Vernon's patent deck beams and side frames, which combine the maximum of streneth with the minimum of weight, and are greatly superior to the ordinary angle iron used. The Sabrina hes beautifully carved stem and quarter galle ries, and a graceful scroll of carved work runs forward from the figure bead round the hawse holes. Head name boards are too, in ber, done away with, end in their stead, is a carved ole, with broad ribbons folding gracefully over it, on which her name will be inscribed. The effect of this relief cn her sides, which are so perfectly smooth that not a plate seam nor a rivet head is visible is excellent. Her cab'ns, which will be fitted to accommodate about 60 pas sengers. will be decorated in the gothic style, in papier machei, with pannels illustrative of scenes from Milton's Comas, by Mr. Key's, of Bold-strect, and her e gross are of 210 horse power, on the direct action principle, end her boilers tubular. After the launch a nume rous company partook of a cold collation which bad been prepared for the occasion. This fine vessel has been built for the Cork Company, and intended to ;:ly between that port and I3riotol. LIVERPOOL PROTESTANT OPERATIVE SOCIETY. The quarterly meeting of the Liverpool Protestant Operative Association was held on Monday, at seven o'clock, in the Commercial Hall, Gloucester-street. There was a very numerous attendance, the spacious room being crowded in every part. On the motion of Mr. CRISP, Alr. THOS. INMAN wiS called to the chair, and the proceedings commenced by the offering of prayer by the Rev. Henry Carpenter. The Rev. WRAP HUNT, incumbent of St. Saviour's, moved the first resolution, which stated— " The conduct of the Romish Church in reference to the Sacred Scriptures, as exhibited in the Bull recently issued by the Pope in relation to Bible Societies, manifests the very spirit of Antichrist; an I is calculated to awaken in every Protestant bosom compassion for every member of the Church of ttome, and gratiturte to God for bestowing the precious gift of his holy word—the source of Eng land's prosperity, and the basis of her civil and religious liberty.' The Church of Rome, the rev. gentleman contended, had always distinguished herself by her bitter opposition to the Scriptures of truth. In the Council of Trent we found her asserting that the Scriptures, if disseminated among the people, would do more harm than good ; we found her detracting from the Word of God ; we found her opposing the purity of his Word by enforcing the books of the Apocrypha, and by taking away the second commandment, making up the number by di viding the tenth into two. In fact, she was distinguished by her opposition to the Scriptures, thereby manifesting the very spirit of anti-Christ. Anti-Christ he defined to be a system of error in every age of the church ; it was a system of error that opposed itself to Christ in one of his three offices as prophet, priest, and king. In the days of the Apostle John, Simon Magus, and his followers, who denied that Christ came in the flesh, exhibited, with va rious modifications, the spirit of anti-Christ as it appeared in succeeding ages ; and there had been many within our own time. We had the anti-Christ of Unitarianism, which opposed itself to the kingly office of the Lord Jesus Christ, denying that he is the " King of Kings, and Lord of Lords." We had the anti-Christ of Mahometanism, which opposed itself to the prophetic office of the Lord Jesus Christ, and set up another prophet in his stead ; and we had the anti-Christ of Popery, which opposed itself to the priestly office of Christ. In direct contradiction to the statement of the Word of God, Popery asserted in the sacrifice of the mass the insufficiency of the sacrifice of the Saviour, and the insufficiency of his priestly office. Popery thus usurped the priestly office of the Lord Jesus Christ. To a certain extent it opposed itself to his kingly office, for Poptry had invested the Pope with a power that belonged to Christ only. She had set up the Pope, as it were, in the temple of-the Lord ; she had placed him above whatever was called God ; she had given to him all dominion, principality, and power, which belonged only to Christ; she had attempted to wrest from the Lord the keys of death and hell, and place them in the hands of the Pope, giving him the power of delivering from death itself, and the punishment due to the wicked in the world to come—in fact, placing him, in the church, as the dispenser of those powers which belong only to the Lord Jesus Christ. (Applause.) She opposed herself to the prophetic office of the Lord Christ. Christ came as a prophet, to declare the will of God—to make known the revelation of God's mercy; the Pope came forward and said, that what Christ told as the word of truth was not enough—that he (the Pope) is to declare rightly the word of truth ; and he claimed for the dogmas of the church of Rome a credence quite as extensive as those required for the Scriptures of truth aemselves. (Hear, hear.) The Pope could never be wrong in his interpreta tion of the Scriptures, nor could he be in fault, because he was to de'ermine whether what he said was right or wrong. He thus destroyed the very essence of the Scrip tures; Le thusopposed himself to the Word of truth ; he thus detractedfrom it; and in these respseti he proved that he was the very spirit of Antichrist. (Hear, hear, hear.) He contended that Popery was perfectly identified by the 6th verse of the 4th chapter of St. John's Ist Epistle as "the spirit of error." (Hear.) What Popery had been from before the days of the Council of Trent she still continued to be. She still continued to be opposed to the Word of God. (Hear, hear.) The hull lately issued against the Bible Society was a proof how she opposed the free disse mination of the Word of God. (Hear, hear.) From the formation of the Bible Society, Popery bad continued to be assailed in a manner in which she had never been since the days of the Reformation. (Cheers.) The free dissemi nation of the Bible awakened men to the dangers of Popery. ( Hear). Consequently, popery was always hitter in oppo sition to the Bible Society. Pope Pius the 7th, in 1816, issued his bull against the Bible Society, calling it by the most opprobrious epithets, and his successor, Leo the 12th, issued his mandate to the priests of Ireland, that they were not to allow their flocks to be led astray by these poisonous pastures, meaning thereby the English translation of the Bible. (Hear, hear.) In these few ex pressions, lie thought he had to sonic extent shewn that the Roanish Church manifested the spirit of Antichrist. (Hear.) The reverend gentleman then applied himself to the consideration of the next assertion in the resolution, namely, that these circumstances were calculated to awaken in every Protestant bosom compassion for the memory of the Church of Rome, in the course of which he earnestly recommended the circulation of the Bible as the only means of delivering the Roman Catholic laity from their threldom. In proof of its efficacy, he referred to the great progress which Protestantism had made in Dingle, and remarked that hitherto we had neglected Ire land, but be rejoiced that now a professorship of the Irish language had been founded in the University of Dublin, where, by means of the instruction there received, young men would be prepared to teach " the knowledge of the truth " to their fellow-countryenen in their own lan guage. This, to use a favourite quotation of Mr. O'Con nell's, was the only way to make Ireland " Great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth, first gem of the sea." (Loud cheers.) And when the Scriptures of truth had delivered the people from their mental thraldom, it might be said— " fie is the freeman whom the truth mak s free— And all are slaves beside." (Cheers.) The Rev. HENRY CARPENTER seconded the resolution ; and in the course of an eloquent speech he read several passages from the Pope's letter against the Bible Society, to show that in that letter there was enough and more than enough to justify every statement that had been made in relation to the hostility of the Church of Rome to the light of Scripture. The same letter, too, fur nished an ample refutation of that fashionable error— that heresy against all truth—that Rome was changed— tht.t Rome in the 19th century was not what Rome was in the 16th century. They must indeed be unacquainted with the circumstances of Rome who were led away by this supposition. They neglected to remember her cele brated motto semper eadent; that in that motto she as serted her determination to maintain the same idolatry, persecution, perjury, and hostility to the Scriptures for which she had ever been notorious. (Cheers.) A collection was made at this stage of the meeting, dur ing which the hymn beginning " from all that dwell be low the skies" was sung by the meeting. The Rev. Mr. IRVING moved the second resolution— " That seeing the undisguised support and encouragement which is given to popery and latitudinarianism in every shape, to the discouragement of our National Church, it is heartily to be wished that our Protestant friends would enrol themselves as members of our Association, that we may, with the blessir g of God upon our labours, make such a bold stand for the truth, from time to time, that it may eventually reach the legislature, and through them the government, to prevail upon them to re move the principles of expediency and concession which are s,ipping: and undermining the great principles of the Reforma tion2,—(Clieers.) Mr. 6tzsr seconded the resolution. A vote of thanks was then presented to Mr. Inman, for his able conduct in the chair, and the proceedings termi nated at a qulrter before ten o'clock. LIEUT. PUDDICOMBE.—This officer, accused of steal ing some plate, from the house of a gentleman, at Cork, where he was present at a ball, was tried for the alleged offence, on Friday, and acquitted.

Jacob Smith, Wesleyan Minister at Sunder land, was drowned on Thursday lust, whilst bathing in the sea at the North Sand,' between Sunderland and Whitburn.
