direction with a profuse band. It was highly amusing to see the impatient avidity with which some of the gravest and most staid cha r a c t ers i n th e l an d en t ere d into a general scramble to catch them. Nor were the persons less anxious to obtain an interesting memorial of an event with which they, themselves were so conspicuously and splendidly iden tified. THE HOLY SACRAMENT. After the Anthem the Bishops of Carlisle and Rochester, %* ho had rea d the Epistle and Gospel, received from the Altar, by the hand s o f th e Archbishop, the Patina and the Chalice, which they carried into St. Edward's Chapel, and brought from thence the Bread upon the Patina, and the Wine in the Chalice. Her Majesty then delivered the Sceptres to the Dukes of Norfolk and Richmond, and descended from Her Throne, attended by Her Supporters, and assisted by the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Sword of State being borne before her, and went to the Altar, and, taking off her Crown, delivered it to the Lord Great Chamberlain to hold; and then knelt down. Then the Bishops delivered the Patina and Chalice into the Queen's hands; and her Majesty deli vered them to the Archbishop, who, having said the prayer, " Bless, 0 Lord," &c., reverently placed the same upon the Altar, covering them with a fair li nen cloth. The Queen, still kneeling,: made her SECOND OFFERING. - • -- -- - (a Purse of Gold), which the Treasurer of the Household delivered to the Lord Great Chamberlain, and he to her Ma jesty, from whom the Archbishop received it. The Arch bishop then said the prayer, " 0 God, who dwellest„' &c. Her Majesty then went to her chair on the south side of the area, and knelt at her faldstool. When the Archbishop and the Dean, with the Bishops' Assistants, namely, the Preacher, and those who had read the. Litany, and the Epistle and Gospel, had communicated, her Majesty approached the Altar, and received the Sacra ment, the Archbishop administering the bread, and the Dean of Westminster the Cup. The Queen then received the Crown from the Lord Great Chamberlain, and put it on, and repaired to her throne; re ceiving again the sceptre with the cross iii her right hand, and the sceptre with the dove in her left; being there sup ported.and attended as during the inthronisation. The Archbishop then proceeded with the Communion Service, at the end of which, the choir sang the anthem, " Hallelujah! for th e Lord God Omnipotent rei g neth !" &c and, the same being concluded, the Archbishop read the final prayers, and pronounced the blessing. The Service being concluded, her Majesty, attend e d b y the two Bishops her Suppo rters, the Great Officers of St a t e, • the Noblemen bearing the four swords before h er , and the Noblemen who had c arried the re g alia then lying upon th e altar descended into the area, and passed through the edo e o n r on the south side into St . Edward's Cha p el ; the /s, Tob who had carried the reg alia, receivin g them from th e Deal of Westminster as t h e y passed by into the chapel : th e organ and other instruments all the while playing. Her Majesty being in the chapel, and standing before the altar, delivered the sceptre with the dove, which her Majesty had borne in her left hand, to the archbishop, who laid it upon the altar there. Her Majesty was the n disrobed of her royal imperial man. tle or robe of state, and arrayed in her royal robe of purple velvet, by the Lord Great Chamberlain. The Archbishop placed the orb in her Majesty's left hand. The noblimen who had carried the gold spurs and Saint Edward's. Staff delivered the same to the dean, to be by him deposited on the altar in the chap el. Whil s t her. Majesty wa s in St. Edward's Chapel, th e officers of arms arranged the procession for the return, so that all was ready to move at the moment when the Q ueen left the chapel. On, again taking her seat on the throne, previously to ber departure, the Queen seemed not to feel the slightest incon venience or fatigue from the various celemomes which her Majesty had by this time gone through. On the contrary, i t was manifest to every body that our fair and gracious so vereign appeared rather to gain strength and firmness in pm portion to the time to which they were extended. Her Majesty then proceeded out of the choir, at half-pa s t three o'clock, and to t h e west door of the abbey; the Qu een . we aring her crown, and beari n g in her ri g ht hand the sceptre with the cross, and in her left the orb; their royal highnesses the princes and princesses wearing their coronets. The four swords were borne before the Queen, in the same order as before. The dean and prebendaries, and the bishops, wh o had carried the Bible, the chalice, and the patina, remained in the choir. The noblemen who had severally carried the crown, the orb, the sceptre with the dove, the spurs, and St. Edward's Staff, walked in the same places as before; th ose who had staves and batons carrying the same; all peers wearing their coronets; and the archbishops and the bishops supporting her Majesty, wearing their caps; and the kings at arms their crowns. The swords and the regalia were received, near the west door, by the officers of the jewel-office appointed for that pu Those. Her Majesty, and the Princes and Princesses of the Blood Royal. returned to the royal palace with the same state as in their proceeding to the abbey. Thus have terminated the solemnities of a day w hi c h now belongs to :the everlasting page of history—a day which has been universally hailed by the nation as one of great h o p e an d promise, The earnest desire of the people at large must be that the reign of the august princess on whose head the crown has this"day been placed, may be signalined rather by its be nign influence on the commonwealth than by dazzling tri umph achieved at the ex pence of humanity. Victuraferetur Gloria Trajani ; non tam quod, Tigride victo, Nostra triumphati fuerint provincia Parti t i, Alta quod invectus fractis Capitolia Dacis; Quern patrias quod ►nitis erat." But if at any period while her Majesty holds the sceptre of these realms, the honour and dignity of the country should require an appeal to arms, then let us hope that England may never be found without a Wellington in the field or a Nelson on the ocean. the organ and As her Majesty withdrew fr o m the abb ey , band poured forth one of the great anthems, iu a very spirited style. Indeed all the music of the day was well executed. We cannot place Mr. Knyvett's anthem very high on the score of originality, but it was a well harmonised composi tion. Neither was the band strong enough for the lofty roof under which it had to labour. Half its force was lost among the cobwebs. As the whole assembly broke up, there was, as usual, a scene of considerable confusion. RETURN FROM THE ABBEY. At a quarter-past three o'clock the first carriages of the procession returned to the west entrance door, where they had set down. and again received their company. Several peers and others, who arrived in the suite of ambassadors, walked off without waiting for their carriages. The Duke of Wellington set the example, wearing his coronet and Field Marshal's uniform, and was loudly cheered by the crowds through whichite pasied to the Park by Princes-street. The DUke of Devonshire soon followed, but exchanged his coronet fora plain hat, and enveloped his robes in a cloak. Charg6s d'Affaires, Ministers and Ambassadors appeared in quick succession., ascended their carriages and were whirled away as rapidly. The acclamations of the great multitude were renewed with energy as her Majesty renewed her progress, returning by the same route she had arrived, graciously ac knowledging the expression of loyal affection by which she was greeted on every side. The Duchess of Kent appeared in excellent spirits, and seemed to take pleasure in com mencing an inter change of courtesies with the sympathizing crowds that filled the balconies on either hand. The royal dukes were received with hearty acclamations as they passed along. Marshal Soult was loudly cheered on his return, and appeared happy in acknowledging the honour. Thus concluded the coronation office, at all times a cere w. onial of the most solemn nature, but on the present occasion rendered more touching than ever, from the youth and sex of. the. exalted individual who has come under such profound and sacred obligations to the people of this realm. The Abbey—nay, the whole nation—may be said to have pre sented, during the ceremonial of Thursday, one huge aggre gate of loyalty and love. God grant that it may be ever so ; and t h a t, by following Queen-like courses—by cherishing and carrying into practice sound principles of religion and lofty feelings of honour, our Queen may always be as muc h our hOnest pride as she i s now ou r joyful hope. At twenty minutes to five the first of the carriages, forming the royal cavalcade, reached Charing-cross on its return ; and at tett minutes past five her Majesty again passed this part of the line on her way to Buckingham-palace, amidst the uni versal plaudits of those of her people who had remained to do her honour. Her Majesty wore her crown, and bore her scep tre in her hand, and seemed much less fatigued with the ar dtions ceremonies through which she had gone than had been expected. It was nearly six o'clock before the royal carriages in re turning reached the Park, wh ere her Majesty was received With the same loyal and enthusiastic greeting that marked this portion of the line at starting. The crowd was, if possi ble, greater than in the morning; and although many of the parties composing it had stood from two o'clock, expecting every minute to hear the announcement of the return of the cavalcade, their anxiety to see her Majesty bad triumphed over every feeling of lassitude, and fixed them unflinchingly to (heir several stations. This very commendable desire having been .gratified, and the palace gates closed on its il lustrious object, a great portion of the crowd dispersed, to in dulge in the other recreations of the day. During the day, a fair was held in Hyde-park, which was covered with booths, shows, ftc. Here the people enjoyed their popular amusements, and every thing passed over with out the slightest disturbance. In the evening, illuminations were very general. The Parks w ere th rong ed with people to see the fireworks, which '4ueree' displayed in the Green Park and in Hvde-park. The Queen and her distinguished guests viewed the fireworks, in the Green Park, from the Palace, which was covered with gazers. oisrh o . ..

TRADE. LEaus.—We have had two good markets since our last, and trade, generally, seems in a satisfactory state. 11Iost of the merchants are busy, and some are thought to have bought rather freely in anticipation of a rise in the price of wool, as the stocks in the cloth halls are considered very 10W. DEWSDURY.—There was a fair demand for goods at this market on Monday, and the merchants offered several new orders, but at terms so inadequate to the present prices of wool that only in few instances were they accepted. The blanket trade is tolerably brisk. HA I. IFAX.—The quantity of business transacted at this market on Saturday principally w ax again considerable, figured pieces in request, and prices firm, but with ou t b „!ing - '4y material improvement. The transactions in wool and Yarn were to a satisfactory extent. BRADFORD MA RM.-0MM:: to the general holiday in co mmemoration of the coronation, on Thursday, this market Wa3 held on Wednesday, and, as usual in such cases, the attendance of merchants and buyers were not equal to the average. The prices of piece goods were, however, firm, 'wing to the advance in wool and yarn, but the merchants , w ere - reluctant to give increased prices. Merinos, six quar ters Wide, and of ordinary quality, have been lately in re quest, and are now scarce. The yarn market underwent a C lißht improvement, but there was no material change in the - market, Wo olwhich was, however, very firm, owing to the reports from the German wool fairs. HUDDERSFIELD M A lIKET.—We had a brisk mai ket here 2._en Tuesday, th e p r i nc ip a l d eman d b e i ng f or p l a i n c l ot h s, r tersharn s , and other heavy goods for the autumn trade.— Prices, of cours e , l oo k e d u p, b u t an a d vance was not general ly realised. The following, we believe we may say, will be included in the list of baronets•—Sir John Ileischell, Sir Lionel Smith, Michael O'Loghlen, the Irish Master of the Rolls, and Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black Rod. Minister jai Paper • It is stated in the last Exeter Gazette, that Sir Thos. Dyke Arland, D.C.L. of Christchurch, intends erecting, at his own expense, a very handsome church, near Kiltenon, for the ac commodation of that part of the inhabitants of Broadclist whose residences are at a distance from the parish church. The sum of 1.3000 will be expended on it. Bowstead is to be the new Bishop of Sodor and Man. The Rev. T. Hutchinson, 8.A., curate of St. John's, Liverpool, has been appointed incumbent of the new church at Harpurhey. The Neapolitan government has issued a decree, estab lishing the same scale of duties on the importation of silks, Javre, 4;d other foreign manufactures, for both Naples and Sicily. CORONATION REJOICINGS IN THE NEIGH BOURING TOWNS AND VILLAGES. PRESCOT. Here the demonstrations were most enthusiastic. A grand procession was formed of the officers, societies, and trades of the town. Mr. Ducker's printing-press accompanied the ca valcade, and the song of "God save the Queen" was worked off by Mr. James Liptrot and Master Brown. This was a great novelty to the inhabitants, many of whom had never be fore witnessed the process of printing. At the termination of the procession, the national anthem was sung in the Mar ket-place. The children were regaled with bun-loaf and wine, and the aged poor had a good dinner, and a pint of ale each served out to them. The gentlemen, in the course of the (lay, sat down to an excellent dinner, furnished by Mr. Anthony Scarisbrick, of the Masonic Lodge. ST. HELENS At St. Helens the festival was kept with extreme spirit. The day was ushered in, at an early hour, by the ringing of bells, the firing of cannon, guns, &c., and every place was "o'er hung with flags and banners free." All the trades' societies, &c. displayed their attachment to their Sovereign, and formed a procession through the principal streets of the town. The procession started ateleven o'clock, and is stated to have com prised 20,000 people, with 3,000 Sunday school children. Af terwards, the foundation-stone of a new church in Church Town was laid, which is to be built and endowed by the Messrs. Greenall, of St. Helens. After the ceremony was over, buns and other refreshments, together with a coronation medal and a copy of the national anthem, were distributed by the committee to each of the children belonging to the schools. The poor in the various workhouses were regaled with a good and substantial dinner of roast beef, plum-pud ding, and a pint of ale each. In the evening, the committee and their friends sat down to an excellent dinner at the Ra ven Inn, and altogether the day was one of great festivity. ORMSKIRK. At Ormskirk the demonstrations were on a splendid scale. The procession, it seems, was magnificent, many beautiful devices on pictures having been exhibited. The procession having paraded all the streets in the town, halted at the Market-place, the various bodies forming separate columns, with their bands in front. Tbe national anthem was then sung in excellent style by the children of the united charity schools, the bands and company joining chorus. Three times three and one cheer more were then given for the Queen in a manner which made the welkin ring again, and the company dissolved. Immediately after the termination of this part of the proceedings, the children of the respective charity schools were presented with a medal commemorative of the day, and also regaled with a large fourpentiy bun and a cup of beer or spiced wine each. The poor i 4 the work house were treated, after the good old English fiishion, with a solid dinner of roast beef, ale, and plum-pudding. About one hundred and twenty gentlemen sat down to dinner, at the Town-hall, at six o'clock. Various feastings took place in other parts of the town. HAI,E Amid the general festivity this little sequestered spot was not behind in demonstrations of loyalty. The bells ushered in the morn and rang merrily during the day. The old women and matrons were regaled with tea to their hearts' content on the village green, aud, afterwards, the young peo ple enjoyed a rural dance until the close of even, when the whole concluded with a most brilliant display of fireworks. RUNCORN. The inhabitants of Runcorn celebrated the event most en thusiastically. The shops were closed and all business was suspended. A grand procession was formed, which reached the Beacon, or Runcorn-hill, where the Champion, who was duly attended by his Esquire, threw down the gauntlet of defiance against all her Majesty's enemies. A large amount was distributed amongst the poor, in beef, buns, tea, &c. The rustic sports of donkey races, wheelbarrow races, (by women,) climbing soaped poles, sculling, and foot races were kept up with great spirit. There was a handsome display of fireworks, and the gentlemen of the town dined sumptuously at the Royal Hotel. OLDHAM The inhabitants of Oldham celebrated the coronation in a most becoming manner on Thursday. As the weather was favourable, the town was thronged fiv company. The morn ing was ushered in by the ringing of bells, the discharge of fire-arms, the display of flags, &c. An extensive procession consisting of the constables, veteran pensioners, conductors,' three bands of music, banners, chief constables, church wardens, magistrates, clergy, returning officer, overseers, inhabitants, Free Masons, Musical Society. Temperance Society, (displaying in a cart a loaf of enormous size, and a large cheese,) masters and scholars of the Blue Coat school, Sunday scholars of St. James's, St. Peter's, Wesleyan Me thodists, and Independents (Queen-street,) was formed in Lord -street. about ten o'clock, and moved along Henshaw street, Barker-street, Royton-street, St. Domingo-street, Ring-street, George-street, High-street, Yorkshire-street, Lee's-toad, Greenacre's Moor, Lower Moor Hill, to the Market-place; where, after singing the national anthem, the several bodies separated. A vast concourse of spectators witnessed the procession. A dinner to the aged and neces sitous poor, provided by public subscription, was partaken of by four hundred, and twenty nine poor persons. The in mates of the 'Workhouse were provided with roast beef, plum pudding, &c., in honour of the occasion. A small num ber of highly respectable gentlemen, of different political opinions, took dinner in the large room of the Angel Inn. The members of tbeOperative Conservative Society, bad a public dinner at the Rope and Anchor Inn. The Pen sioners, Freemasons, and Musical Society, had dinners at their respective inns. A numerous party of gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner, at the Hat and Feather Inn, Greenacre's Moor, Oldham. Mr. H. I. Broome, solicitor, presided; and Mr. Joseph Wharton filled the vice-chair. Appropriate toasts were given, and the evening passed off in the most satisfactory manner. WIGAN. Early in the morning of Thursday, the children of all the Sunday schools marched in procession through the streets, headed by the clergy and churchwardens. At eleven o'clock a feu-de-joie was fired by the 88th regiment, and a procession consisting of the military, the corporation, the gentry, the trades, and friendly societies, with appropriate banners, marched through the principal streets. ['here were several dinners in celebration of the event. ECCLES. The loyal village of Eccles was the scene of festivities and rejoicings of no ordinary description. At ten o'clock in the morning a procession was formed of the various Sunday schools and societies in the neighbourhood, headed by the Vicar, the Rev. W. Marsden, and the other clergy, with the principal inhabitants of the village. The procession stopped on the banks of the canal at Barton, where the national an them ,vas sung by the children with great effect. It was again sung in the centre of the village. At two o'clock nearly 2,000 of the poorer inhabitants! sat down to dinner on the open space around the cross. 'I he tables were covered with substantial fare of beef, bread, and ale, and with the exception of the temporary inconvenience caused by a shower of rain, which fell.between one and two o'clock, the whole passed off with the greatest eclat. Perhaps such a scene was never before witnessed in Eccles; the merry peals from the venerable church tower, the joyous sound of music from the village band, and the happy countenances of the children, nearly two thousand in number, testified most pl a inly th a t it was an occasion of no common interest. At the conclusion of the dinner the Rev. J. H. Marsden addressed the people, and proposed as a toast " Health and a long and happy reign to Queen Victoria," which was received with long and hearty cheers. It is only right to state, that the people of Eccles are much indebted to their neighbour, C. Wilkins, Esq., of Westwood, the barrister, and the members of the committee, for the excellent arrangement of the dinner. In the evening about twenty gentlemen sat down to dinner at the Grapes Inn, and thus was concluded this joyful day in the village of Eccles. SOUTHPORT. The observance of the Coronation in this village, was cer• tainly a very splendid affair. The procession consisted of gentlemen on hor se back, the children belonging to the Established Church, the Independent and Wesleyan Metho dist Sunday schools, the authorities of the parish, the clergy, gentry, visitors, &c. &c. The procession formed in London street, with its head towards Neville-street, and commenced moving at ten o'clock along Lords'-street, Mount Pleasant, Row-lane, &c., to the Rectory, where it met t he scholars from Churchtown, Crossons, and the Banks. The children here sung the national anthem, the band and company joining chorus. The procession then returned by Row-lane, the whole line of Lords'-street, around Wellington-terrace, and back again to Mrs. Smith's, Rose Hill House, upon whose beautiful lawn the children again sung, and received the substantial refreshments which had been provided for them by the committee. Refreshments were provided for 1,800 and it is thought that the procession could nut consist of less than from 4,000 to 5,000 people. After the procession, the gentlemen, the tradesmen, &c. retired to the different hotels, where excellent dinners had been provided by their respective hosts; and after dinner, several loyal and appropriate speeches were delivered; fora hich we are sorry we have not room. The festivities of the day terminated by a grand dis play of fire-works on the lawn in front of Rose I-101 boarding house. MANCHESTER. The celebration of this auspicious event did not, as it ap peared, lose any of those attractions which characterised either of the splendid ones in 1821 and 1829. The morning was most auspicious—all, in fact, that could be desired. As early as three o'clock, the slumber of her Majesty's subjects was disturbed by the almost incessant roaring of cannon, crackers, bands of music, &c. The number of flags displayed were innumerable, and some of them attracted especial no tice. That which appeared to eclipse all others in size and beauty (made, it i s said, .to Liverpool, Collegiate i oo Church,l, fo r the A occasion) mid ti,wasthe the one onsteeple siuhts of the day, the palm must, without ti j o m n Pin , ° b s ea g warded to that of the Sunday and Day School Chmehasanitryaity Children, who assembled at the very early hour of six o'clock to the number of forty-one thousand, exclusive of the various patrons and teachers of the schools, who greatly swelled the cumber. Almost every school had its own band, of course each its own flags and devices. Precisely at seven o'clock green, t than n e w p h rr i , c c h es i s t ic i i s n . impossible to c i o t n s ce ro iv u e te a nfoyr;lkarede‘v more c k admirably adapted. Wh en th e sc h oo l s had arrived at the rendezvous, t esight i htwaswhatwith the imposinglyc l d p children and the ersoi t is attend ngrand indeed l fancied, but it would be difficult to describe; for at tlTe ay ho h u e r of ten there were about 150,000 persons present. Such a spectacle was never b e f or e witnessed, most certainly not ever in London; nor, it may be safely said, in the world; for, though London may, and no doubt does, educate many more Sunday and Charity School Chil dren than Manchester can boast, yet it is notorious that in London they have never been all concentrated at one point on any single occasion. When the national anthem was sung by forty-one thousand children, and by perhaps twice as many adults, it must be left to the creative fancy of the reader to conceive the thrilling effect which the circumstance produced. It took just two hours and three onarters for the children to pass a given point, although they marched twelve abreast. At half-past eleven, the authorities, military, clergy, gen try, and tradesmen, headed the procession of the trades along the principal thoroughfares leading to Ardwick-green, where all had arrived about three o'clock. There was so much to admire,—so much exquisite taste displayed by the various crafts—such excellent order and discipline, and so many well drossed artizans—that it might almost seem invidious to se lect any part as deserving of especial notice; but without giving offence, it is hoped, to any, it may be asserted that out of so many brilliant displays, none shone with more lustre than the town's fire-engine establishment, under the able and active superintendence of Mr. William Rose, its able and spirited conductor. It must have bee❑ especially grateful to this gentleman to have had such continued and unusual marks of approbation bestowed by so numerous a body of his towns men. The joiners and carpenters in the employ of M r. Bell hewse, jun., and Messrs. Bowden and Edwards, deserve es pecial notice. At great expense they exhibited a Grecian temple, with many other exquisite .specimens of their art. '['hey were most respectably dressed, each man displaying a uniform decoration, supplied at the cost of their employers. The carvers and gilders displayed a glass coach, ,f firmed out of only 4 pieces of plate glass. This was certainly a very grand sight, especially to many of our country cousins. The men in the employ of Messrs. Sharp, Roberts, and Co , en gineers, catered most successfully for the public gratification, by the exhibition of a new and splendid locomotive engine, made, it is understood, for the London and Birmingham Railway Company, and named the Victoria. Her tender ac companied her. The engine was drawn by eight beautiful grey horses, of the real Sussex cart breed ; each horse was superbly decorated, and carrying collars of bells. This part of the prooession drew forth incessant plaudits, which ap peared to give the men great pleasure. The glass-blowers, too, were successful in their endeavours to please. The men wearing glass hats painted, and each workman carrying a wand on which was fixed a glass ulobe,painted in blue, white, and red. At about half-past two the general joy was damped by a terrible thunder storm, and though not of long duration, it lasted sufficiently long completely to drench the whole pro cession. The sun, however, soon returned with his gladden ing beams, so as to enable the immense assemblage to witness the exit of this imposing spectacle. In the evening there were two grand displays of fireworks, under the superintendence of Mr. Richardson, who was so Fortunate as to give universal satisfaction to a large multitude assembled to witness the sight. Of the many extensive establishments who gave treats to their hands, as well as paying them their day's wages, may be noted that. of Messrs. H. 11. Birley and Co., most exten sive cotton-spinners and power-loom cloth manufacturers. 'l'he hands were entertained at dinner with roast beef and plum-pudding, to the number of upwards of 3000; in this number, however, the numerous hands employed in their waterproof cloth manufactory were included. Three oxen were slaughtered on the occasion. WARRINGTON The inhabitants of Warrington, from the highest to the lowest, have proved themselves " a right loyal people." Never, in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, has there been such a public demonstration as that witnessed in this town on Thursday last, the day appointed for the coronation of our beloved Queen. For more than a fortnight, active preparations were going on; and, for a season at least, poli tical differences were allowed to slumber—if not to be for gotten. The decorations in front of the houses were both extensive and tasteful. Numberless were the arches of evergreens suspended across the leading thoroughfares; some of them forming wreaths for inscriptions, such as— " God bless the Queen," " Long live Victoria," " May she long reign over us," " Welcome , England's Queen," " May commerce flourish," " May our Queen prosper," " Church and Queen," and the like. Messrs Booth, the booksellers, in addition to other embellishments, displayed over their shop-door a huge bible, surmounted with a crown. In a garden adjoining the Bridewell was a well-executed model of a church ; and in Winwick-street, as if to show the ruling passion, a butcher had " the roast beef of Old England" beautifully designed in flowers, as a motto for the front of his shop. Union jacks, and other national flags, were ex ceedingly numerous; and, taken as a whole, the embellish ments were most complete. Between two and three o'clock in the morning, such of the inhabitants as had found time to sleep were aroused from their slumbers by a heavy can nonading, which proceeded from some miniature batteries erected at the factories of Messrs. W. Hadfield and Co.; Messrs. Hadfield & Frost, of Latchford; Messrs. Caldwell, Parker, and Co., of Scotland-road ; Messrs. Lee, 'Watson, and Co., of the Bridge Foundry; and some guns on board the Briton flat, lying in the Mersey. Shortly before nine o'clock, the school children formed themselves into proces sion in Winwick street, and moved in the following order: — Town crier, the apparitors of the church, the church wardens, constables, and overseers; band, Blue-coat Boys; the Blue-coat school ; the Ladies' school ; St. Paul's school ; Orford school ; St. James's school ; Bank Quay school ; Wilderspin and Stocktonheath school ; Grap penhall school ; band, National school; Parish Church schools ; the Wesleyan school ; Friars' Green Chapel schools; St. John's school; Stepney school; Salem school; Friars' Green school; band, Blue Coat Boys; Primitive Methodist school; Roman Catholic school; Baptist Chapel school; Workhouse children. They were accompanied by the Hon. and Rev. Horace Powys, rector of the parish; the Rev. J. Wright, incumbent of Latchford; Rev. J. Lowe, of St. Paul's; Rev. J. Todd, of Trinity Church; the Rev. F. G. Hopwood ; the Rev. G. Richards ; the Rev. E. T. Alder, of Grappenhall; and other clergymen and dissenting minis ters. They proceeded six a-breast along Horse Market street, Butter Market-street, Mersev-street, Bridge-street, Sankey-street, Golhorne•street, to a field in Bewley-street, where the children sang the national anthem. The healthy and clean appearance of all the children, their skill in music, and general demeanour, was the theme of universal admira tion. The wands, surmounted by roses, carried by the Ro man catholics, attracted much attention. Shortly before 11 o'clock the general procession was formed, and moved along the seine route in the following order :—A man in armour; the royal mail; the veterans; a band of music; returning officer; steward of the manor, and high constable of the hun dred; the magistrates; clergy of the town and neighbour hood; the ministers of ditto; churchwardens, overseers, and constables of Warrington; the ancient order of freemasons; the officers of excise. The different trades, 29 in number, headed by a hand of music. The several clubs and societies, 22 in number. The various societies displayed their different flags, and the majority of the persons walking in the proces sion wore white rosettes; but some few, contrary to the in structions issued by the committee, wore blue, red, and white, elsewhere the national, but unfortunately, in Warrington, a party colour. The mail was drawn by four beautiful grey horses, and the national flag and a crown were carried by the passengers on the outside of the coach. The guard, coach man, and horses, were decorated with the national rosette. The next object of attraction was the tool-makers, in the employment of Messrs. Thevrles and Griffiths, who carried with them some highly-finished specimens of their work, in the shape of watchmakers' tools, and several other dimi nutive articles. The butchers, as jolly a set of fellows as anv town need boast of, wore blue coats and white aprons, and carried a fleece in the middle of the procession. The joiners and bricklayers displayed a very extensive collec tion of models, embracing the most parts of a house, from the street door to a chimney, as well as the various tools used by them in the course of their trade. The . painters ex hibited the pallet and the brush ; and the pin makers belong ing to Messrs. Edelston's manufactory had a model work shop fitted up for them in a van, so placed that the public, as the procession passed, were enabled to see the whole process of pin making. The printers, in like manner, were provided with a printing press. It, however, remained for the glass makers to hear away the palm in point of display. The men employed at the works of Messrs. Alderson, Perrin and Co. at Cockhedge, exhibited an immense number of highly finished articles both in blown and cut glass, a massive cut Indian shade, a lamp, a coat of arms, two large decanters capable of holding five gallons, a great goblet; and several glass hats, swords, and spears, formed a portion of their col lection. Messrs. Robinson and Co.'s workmen, of the Ox ford Lane glasshouse, carried in the procession a decanter of extraordinary dimensions, four ale glasses two yards high, (real tall boys,) and some elegant specimens of cut glass in the shape of celery glasses, lustre pieces, jugs, Mulgrave vases, crowns, wands, &c. On the procession arriving at its destination, " God save the Queen" was sung by the assem bled multitude, and thus terminated that portion of the re joicings. The dinner was the next consideration. In Ry land's Cloth Hall, a room 110 yards in length, and two un derneath, apart, of almost equal dimensions, nearly three thousand persons in the poorer walks of life partook of a sub stantial dinner of roast and boiled beef, with a pint of excel lent ale. Nearly a pound of meat per head was thus distri buted, in addition to a proportionate quantity of potatoes and bread. The shoemakers, master tanners, and pin makers, dined at the Swan Intl; the file cutters at the Star and Gar ter; Messrs. Robinson's glass-men at the Little H o r s e Shoe, and most of the clubs at the different club-houses. The children of Latchford-school dined at the school-room, along with the teachers and the Rev. J. Wright, their pastor. The liberality of Peter Greenall, Esq., provided a simil ar r epast for the Wilderspin children; and last, though not least, the more affluent and respectable of the inhabitants dined, in the evening, at the Nags dead, and Millstone Inns. The weather throughout the day was beautiful. At night, Messrs. T. and W. Heath, ironmongers, Bethell's glass warehouse, Mr. Davis, tin-plate worker, and the Gas Company, dis played some very tasteful gas illuminatedidevices. On Fri day afternoon there was a variety of rural sports for the Ira titication of the juvenile branches of the population, and the coronation festivities were " wound up" by a grand ball at the Lion Hotel. BOLTON. Early in the morning, the roaring of cannon, &c. ushered in the day. The streets presented a gay and animated ap pearance; and the numberless flags floating upon the differ erent buildings animated the scene. At nine o'clock, the children belonging to the Sunday schools, about 12,000 in num ber, met in the New Market Place, and, having sung the na tional anthem, proceeded through the principal streets, and afterwards partook of the refreshments at their respective schools. A procession of trades and societies succeeded. The main feature in the societies was a cart belonging to the for esters, representing a forest, with trees, birds, stag, &c., and two children dressed as Robin Hood and Littlejohn. Amongst the trades, the most novel spectacle was one of Mr. Parkin son's coppersmiths, on a white horse, dressed in steel and brass armour. Every order in the town joined in the proces- sion. In the evening many persons illuminated their houses, &c. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows presented the committee of the Dispensary with a donation of £2O. There never was such a scene in Bolton before. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

At 12 o'clock a royal salute of 21 guns, and at 6 o'clock 19 guns (in honour of her Majesty's age) were fired by Messrs. Pick ering, from their salt works. A grand procession was;formed at Frodsham Bridge at half-past 12 o'clock, in the following order, accompanied by numerous banners, flags, &c., the gentlemen wearing white rosettes, favours, and medals; the children of the various schools also wore medals and white favours, presented to them by their several teachers.

The Procession then moved on on to the Park Place, the scat of D. Ashley, Esq., and thence to the Parish Church, when an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. J. Turner, A.M., from the Second Chapter of the First Epistle of Peter, Thirteenth and four following verses. A suitable selection of hymns, (printed and distri buted by order of the Committee,) were sung. On return from church, liule Britannia was sung under the triumphal arch, the whole company joining chorus, after which nine times ❑ine cheers were again given for the Queen. The wo men and children were regaled with tea, coffee, buns, &c., at the different schools; the men with the good old English cheer of roast beef and ale, at the Bear's Paw and Queen's Head Inns, the Gentlemen of the Committee presiding at the several tables. Messrs. Hayes and Pickering also enter tained 140 men to a substantial dinner at their works, Fred sham Bridge. In the evening, (the band being stationed on a platform in the centre of the town,) country dances and a variety of rural sports took place.

Never in the memory of the oldest inhabitant was there such an assemblage of universal and patriotic feeling displayed as on this occasion. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. Zbe Lit trpoot ""..-.tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 3, 1838. Q*" The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this morning at 5 o'clock. TO THE PUBLIC. In presenting to our readers the first number of the en larged series of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, we feel it to he incumbent upon us to glance at a few of those improvements which the additional space of six co. lumns in each publication will enable us to intro duce. It is unnecessary that we should dilate upon the prin ciples to the advocacy of which we have been so long pledged. Attachment to the constitution of Great Britain in Church and State--a firm adhe rence to the monarchy of these realms—devotion to that Protestant Establishment which we believe to be both the glory and safeguard of our country—the maintenance in unimpaired integrity of our mixed and balanced form of government—and the preser vation of those time-honoured institutions Which are intimately interwoven with our national pro sperity—these are the objects for which N e have ever contended, and which we shall continue to ad • vocate. In the political department of the STAND ARD there will, therefore, be no alteration; but we trust that the larger space at present at our com mand, will afford us a better opportunity for the dis cussion of those important national questions in which are involved the interests of the church or the stability of our constitution. The enlargement which has taken place in this jour nal will enable us to incorporate in each publication a much greater amount of general information than it has been hitherto in our power to present to our readers. Owing to the large space frequently oc cupied by advertisements, we have been compelled to exclude much of that miscellaneous intelligence which is always looked for in a newspaper This will not be the case in future, as the twelve addi tional columns, which are now placed weekly at our command, will afford ample room for a greater va riety of articles. It will be our endeavour to render the LIVERPOOL STANDARD as much as possible a family newspaper. IVith this view we shall exercise the most scrutini sing caution against the admission into our columns of any article of an objectionable character. We shall also devote some space in each number to amusing extracts from modern publications, and anecdotal sketches of public characters. The general heads under which will be arranged - the varied information, which will be hereafter con tained in the STANDARD, may be thus briefly enu merated : PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.—Under this head we shall endeavour, during the sitting of Parlia ment, to prepare a careful digest of all the proceed.. lugs and debates in both Houses, and thus afford to those who have no leisure to read the daily papers, an accurate knowledge of what is passing in the great councils of the nation. We shall also furnish our readers with abstracts of all the more important acts of parliament, and other documents, returns, &c. ordered to be printed by both Houses. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.—AII events of historical importance, which may occur in other countries, will be faithfully and impartially recorded. COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.—In this department we shall be enabled, from the peculiar sources of in formation to which we have access, to give the earliest news from the colonial possessions and other dependencies of Great Britain. LOCAL NEWS.—Under this head will be furnished copious and accurate reports of public meetings; proceedings in the courts of law, police-office, and in the town council ; accidents and inquests ; cri tiques on public amusements, exhibitions, &c. ; and, in short, every species of intelligence which is chiefly of interest to the local reader. In its reports the STANDARD has already obtained an established character—their copiousness and accuracy having been frequently remarked upon in the council chamber. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.—The STANDARD will hereafter contain a weekly list of preferments in the church, a clerical obituary, and an epitome of such information as may be most interesting to those who are connected with the church. GENERAL NEWS.—Under this head we shall give a copious selection of interesting articles from our metropolitan and provincial contemporaries. LITERATURE.—We shall devote a column in eac publication to select extracts from modern publi cations. SPORTING INTELLI GENCE.—GI eater attention shall be paid in future to this department than we have hitherto bad it in our power to bestow. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—The greatest care will be taken in compiling our shipping news, prices current, markets, &c. These are the principal heads under we shall classify the contents of the STANDARD in its en larged form. From this arrangement we shall seldom have any cause to depart, excepting when our local reports are of such paramount importance as to require the exclusion of less interesting matter. We cannot conclude the present address without reit erating our expression of gratitude for the support which the LIVERPOOL STANDARD has hitherto re ceived, especially in its advertising department. It shall always he our endeavour to merit a conti nuance of that patronage which we have so long enjoyed. Our thanks are also due to those friends who have favoured us with their correspondence on various occasions. We shall feel happy in allotting a larger space in future to such original communications as we may deem to be suited for insertion, especially if they possess the recommendation of brevity. THE CORONATION.—We have given, in our paper of this day, a full and interesting report of the pro ceedings at the coronation of her Gracious 'Majesty Queen Victoria, which, we have no doubt, will be perused with that interest which ought to attach to a record so important in its nature. We never knew of an occasion on which there has been such a univer sal burst of national enthusiasm, as that which was witnessed from John O'Groat's house to the Land's End on Thursday last. Party feeling seems to have been completely lost sight of in the general expression of loyalty and attachment to our virgin Queen. We have always maintained that the people of England are an essentially loyal people, firm and unalterable in their devotion to the throne, and the constitution of Great Britain. Our conviction has received an ample and a gratifying corroboration in the absorb ing events of the past week. Not only in the Me tropolis and in the presence of royalty has this feel ing been manifested ; but throughout the whole king dom the enthusiastic manner in which the coronation has been commemorated affords abundant proof of the universality of those feelings of loyalty which we be lieve to be inherent in the bosoms of all true English men. But universal as has been the expression of loyalty throughout the country, we are sorry to say that there are journalists in the metropolis so utterly des titute of principle, and so forgetful of their duty as subjects, as to ridicule the whole proceedings at the coronation. We allude, in particular, to the disgusting and blasphemous langUage of the in famous parody which has been published in the Spectator. Such a production ought to be burnt by the hands of the common hangman, and its author ought to be made an example of by being placed in the pillory, there to receive the hearty exe crations of millions of his countrymen, who repudiate his principles, and despise his base and republican language. It is scarcely necessary to attempt any refutation of such doctrines. The best answer is afforded in the brilliant demonstrations of devotion and fealty which have been witnessed throughout the kingdom, among all classes, rich and poor, peer and peasant. THE CHURCH ENDOWMENT QUESTION.—The ar rangements for the settlement of this question, which have been approved of by the Town Council, will be submitted to the Parishioners of Liverpool, in Vestry assembled, on Thursday next. The important in. (crests which are involved in the final settlement of this long•agitated question, will, we hope, induce a very full attendance. A very spirited remonstrance, against the arrangements contemplated, relative to St. Paul's Church, has been addressed to the Town Council, by the Churchwardens of that Church. The letter will be found in another column, and contains reason suffi cient for their decided opposition to the measures ap proved by our local legislature. It remains to be seen, whether the public at large will give their sanction to an arrangement, which must, eventually, deprive a great portion of the community of the religious pri vileges which they at present enjoy. We are friendly disposed to the amicable settlement of this question, but we cannot lend our influence to any system which will impair the efficiency of the Church. The contra versy already engages a considerable share of public attention. We shall, therefore, make arrangements for giving a full report in our Friday's paper. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.—The proceedings in Parliament on Friday and Saturday were compara tively unimportant. The country now looks forward with intense interest to the course which will be adopted by the House of Lords. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT.—A subscription has been commenced for the relief of the widow and orphans of the unfortunate sufferer by the recent accident on George's Pier head. The sum of 20s. 6d. has been placed in our hands, which we understand was collected by the fellow-workmen of the deceased. We hope this good example will be imitated by their more fortunate neighbours. Donations will be thankfully received at the various newspaper offices THE ROYAL WILLIAM STEAM-SHlP.—This fine vessel takes her departure, on 'Thursday next, for New York. She will, we understand, carry out a large number of passengers : among them will be Madame Vestris and Mr. Charles Matthews, who are proceeding to make a theatrical campaign in the States. The Royal William is expected to reach New York, at the latest, about the 20th instant. THE LIVERPOOL. PROTESTANT BENEFIT SOCIETY was not backward in commemorating the coronation day ; a respect able body of its members partook of au excellent repast at the John Bull, Lumber-street, provided by Mrs. lowlands, the worthy hostess. Several loyal toasts were drank, and the conviviality was kept up until a late hour. A splendid arch of oak and laurel, interspersed with flowers, extended from the John Bull to the opposite side of the street, underneath the arch were three loyal and constitutional banners. CORONATION BENEVOLENCE.—It iS with feelings of great pride and gratification that we record the following letter, not only for the sake of the charity to which it re l ates, b ut also that it lessons an apprehension felt by us, lest the me dical charities of the town should be forgotten in the disposal of the contributions made to enable all classes of the com munity to participate in, and have good cause to remember gratefully, our present national exultation : " Liverpool, 28th June, 1838. "THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA. " Stir honour of this auspicious day, and in token o our loyalty and veneration for the constitutional ceremonies of our country, I have the pleasure, on the part of the officers, non-commissioned officers and privates of the late corps of Liverpool Light Horse Volunteers, to present you, as Pre sident of the Northern Hospital of Liverpool, with one hundred pounds, for the use of that charitable institution.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " WILLIAM FORDE, Captain, "Late Corps of Liverpool Light Horse Volunteers. " To the Worshipful the Mayor of Liverpool." We rejoice also to find that a letter, similar to the above, enclosing £lOO, was addressed to John Platt, Esq., treasurer of the Southern Hospital, for the benefit of that institution. ROBBERY.—On Sunday, sometime between eleven and one o'clock, thieves obtained access to the shop of Mr. Kearney, flour-dealer, Moorfields, while the family were at worship. They succeeded in obtaining booty, we are sorry to say, to the amount of £BO. COMMISSIONERS OF HIGHWAYS.—The accounts of the Commissioners of Highways for the past year show an in creased expenditure, as compared with the previous year, in the paving department of £8,617; but, with this increased outlay, there appears a balance in hand to the credit of the paving and old sewers of £2,465, (to which should be added £2,000 due from the Corporation for paving, &c. at the new Custom-house, making £4,465,) and to the new sewerage of £4,558. The collection of the rates for the current year, as compared with the previous one, is more by about £6OO. THE PotAcE-oF.FicE.—Yesterday, at the Police-office, there were no fewer than 126 prisoners to be brought before the magistrates, 53 of whom were charged with felony, and 73 for being disorderly. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday afternoon, the day of the coronation, a boy, about 16 years of age, was firing a pistol at the top of Erskine-street, and in order to make a loud report had charged it up to the muzzle, and was ramming the wadding down by striking the ramrod in the pistol against the wall. The concussion was so great as to cause the pistol to go off at half-cock whilst he was striking it against the wall. The consequence was, the pistol stock was shattered to pieces in the boy's hands, and the barrel blew over his shoulder and struck another bov, named Foster, who was standing behind him, on the temple, with such force as to fracture his skull, and absolutely knocked a portion of his brains out. The poor lad was taken to the Infirmary. We have not heard that he is yet dead, but we understand there is no possible chance of his recovery. The lad in whose hands the pistol was was not at all hurt. THE MISSES SMITH.—A paragraph has gained general circulation in the London papers stating, that these young ladies, now performing at our theatre, had been withdrawn from the stage, by their aunt, the Countess of Essex, since her marriage with the Earl. The Countess, we believe, has liberally settled a handsome allowance upon all branches of her family; and, we understand, left it entirely to the choice of the fair vocalists, who are now engaged here, either to re main in the theatrical profession, or to retire from public life. The former course was adopted by her nieces, and, from the great celebrity they acquired in the metropolis, during the two seasons they were engaged at Mr. Braham's theatre, we confidently anticipate they will gain a reputation which will rank them as two of the best vocalists on the English stage. THE CHILD OF THE WRECK. Maurice..(the dumb boy) ..Mademoiselle Celeste. After whieb, the Musical Drama of RURAL FELICITY. Harriet Miss Smith. Cecilia Miss Julia Smith. The whole to conclude with a New Drama, called SUZANNE! Suzanne..(an orphan) Mademoiselle Celeste.

This View is taken from the centre of the Grand Piazza as it appears by daylight; the scene then changes to moon light, and the building illuminated as if appears on the eve of Easter Monday, where the whole architecture is made out with several thousand lights; in the scene will appear a pro cession of several hundred moving Figures. It is allowed by all travellers that this edifice is the grandest and most noble Temple in the World : it occupies more than eight times the space of St. Paul's, London. The front is enriched by a colonnade of 286 columns; in the centre is a splendid Egyp tian Obelisk of one entire stone of 90 feet high, and two rich fountains, with several hundred statues in the front, nearly all of which are seen in this View. VALLEY OF CHAMOUNI. Mount Blanc, Switzerland—this Valley is situated in the Alps, and is elevated 3000 feet above the level of the sea, and is on all sides enclosed by lofty mountains; but one enor mous mass towers over all, and is 12,000 feet above Chamouni, called Mount Blanc, being perpetually covered with Snow ; this scene changes and shows different lights and shades.

TO CORRESPONDENTS No. IV. of " A Pedestrian Tour through North Wales," on Friday next. Our colu►nns are to day crowded with coro nation intelligence. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Sunday Times.) CITY, SATU DAr.—Such has been the excitement produced among all classes in the city to witness the ceremonial which has been consequent u p on th e corona ti on, th a t o th er business has been very much neglected. The remarks upon the state of the . mercantile and monetary markets, must therefore ne cessarily be brief. In f act , th e c h anges h ave b een ver y slight this week. The commercial information from the United States, received yesterday, to the 9th i ns t a nt, is not so good as was expected, and the quantity of orders which have been forwarded for execution, are less numerous and important than calculated upon. The Banks were gradually getting into a more healthy state of circulation, but the Directors of all of them were very careful in not extending their circula tion to any considerable amount, though they had ample means of obtaining Bullion, such were the large importations which continued to flow in from almost all quarters of the world with which the Americans have trading intercourse. Thy course of the Exchange at New York upon England had improved to 9 per cent premium. The Stock Market at New York, was very fluctuating up to the latest dates. The ship ments of Cotton from America from the month of October to the 6th instant, have amounted to 1,192,143 Bales, against 957,916 Bales in the corresponding months of the past year. The principal markets for Colonial and other produce have not materially changed this week; the former were closed on Wednesday, and will remain so until Tuesday next. On Monday next the quarterly sales of free-trade will commence, for which not less than packages are declared. Railway and other shares have not been much in demand this week. The Great Western Shares have risen again to 86, but afterwards dropped again to 83 1 or 185 premium; London and Birmingham Shares have fluctuated between 173 and 175, or 83 and 85 premium; the Leeds and Manches ter, between 47 and 474, or 17 and 174 premium; the Man chester and Birmingham, between 84 and 8 1 , or 14 and 11 premium; and the - North Midland, between 39 and 40, or 4 and 5 premium. The Greenwich Shares have fallen to 15 or 5 discount; the Southampton, t 042, or 8 discount; the Bris tol and Exeter, to 54 or 44 discount; the Blackwall, to 5 or L h premium; and th e C ro yd on to 164 , or 31 discount. The ondon and Westminster Bank Shares have risen to 221, or 24 premium; the British North American Bank Shares to 235, or 3-1 premium; and the Provincial Bank of England Shares to 36, or 1 premium. Of the Asphalte Shares those of Mr. Claridge's Company have only found buyers readily, and at prices from 6t o 95, or 4t o 75 premium. The Liver pool Company's Shares have reached 4, or 2 premium, but afterwards they fell to 1= per cent. premium. The British, the Bastenne, and the other Shares of these companies have not been sold at better prices than last week. Since Wednesday (the Stock Exchange having been shut on Thursday,) business in the funds has been rather dull. The prices of Consols have risen to 9545 which is 4 per Cent higher than they were last week. Reduced Three-anti-a-Half per Cent Stock has improved also, viz from 1014 to 1014. Bank of England Stock has fluctuated between 2054 and 206. East India Stock has recommenced at about 271. The pre mium on Exchequer Bills is supported at 70.72, but that upon Indian Bonds has varied between 77 and 75. For Portuguese and Spanish Stocks lower 'prices have been submitted to this week, principally the effect of some news having been received from Lisbon of a fresh Miguel ite attempt to create disturbances against the government. The Three per Cents. Portuguese Stock declined from 24 to 235, the Five per Cents from 364 to 354, and Spanish Active Bonds from 214 to 22. The market looked rather more firm yesterday, and at higher prices than those just given. The only other alteration which it is necessary here to notice, has been a fall in French Stock of not far short of 1 per cent., though the bill for the reduction of the interest has been re jected by the first branch of the legislature of France. The Five per Cent Stock has been sold at 110 f. 25c., the ex change being at 25f. 50c. The Dutch, Belgic, and other European Stocks have remained much the same as last week. Mexican Stock has not recovered above 245, Co lombian above 264, and Brazilian above 80. The settle mentof the account yesterday in Foreign Stock passed off without any point requiring notice. THE HIGHWAY BOARD. On Thursday last the annual meeting of the parishioners was held in St. Nicholas's Church, to receive the accounts of the Commissioners under the Paving and Sewerage Act for the past year, and e l ec t C omm i ss i oners for the ensuing year: there were (owing to th e coronation, &c.) only twenty-eight persons present, the R ev . RECTOR CAMPBELL in the chair. After reading the usual noti ce, w hi ch stated the object of the meeting, the Commissioners' Clerk proceeded to read over the accounts, when Mr. W. BIRKETT rose and said, that he thought it was un necessary to read them through, and wished to proceed at once to the election of the commissioners. It was thought advisable, that they should be read in the usual way, which having been done, Mr. Thos. BIRKETT said, however, it wou ld b e much bet ter, if, instead of the commissioners having a balance of about £7,000 in the bank, (which Leylands would not thank them for having,) they were to reduce the paving -rates : it would give more satisfaction to the rate.pavers.* Mr Ks YE replied, that this was the first year that the pa ving account for a number of years had shown a balance to the credit, except a small balance last year of about £2OO. In the present case, the balance was something above £2OOO, and no doubt the commissioners, when they laid the new sate, would keep this in view. Mr. Wm. P. Bustin' then said, that he bad been intrusted with the names of a number of gentlemen whom he thought fully qualified to be elected commissioners for the ensuing year, and handed in the list to the Chairman, saying. that he begged to propose them for election, which was duly. se conded, when _ _ Mr. ilo. JONES said, that, if the list just handed in were agreed to, it would deprive the Board of the services of Mr. Wales, whom he considered to be one of the most useful and efficient members, &c. He should, therefore, propose the re election of that gentleman. Mr. KAYE said, that he bad great pleasure in seconding the nomination of. Mr Wales; and, although it was well known that himself and that gentleman differed very widely in politics, yet he should not be doing justice to him, were he not to say, that he considered him one of the most inde pendent and disinterested members of the Board, one who devoted his time to the public good; and he felt sure, that if Mr. Wales was not re-elected, the public would be the suf ferer. Ile would have said much more if Mr. Wales was not present, and should, therefore, conclude by seconding Mr Jones's motion. The RECTOR suggested, that it would be better to proceed in the usual way, by reading the name of each gentleman separately. The Commissioners' Clerk then read over the following names of gentlemen proposed, out of the Council, viz., Mr. John Holute, Mr, James Lawrence, Mr. Crawford Logan,t Mr. Charles Birch, Mr. James Heyworth. Mr. John Hotness said, in reference to Mr. Heyworth, he thought it would be useless to elect that gentleman, for last year he was elected but never attended the Board even once. _ Mr. W. BiItKETT said, his non-attendance was caused by a domestic affliction, the death of his wife, and requested that his name should remain in the list. The following members were then re-elected, viz., Mr. James Aspinall, Mr. Samuel Johnson, Mr. Edward Gibbon, and Mr. George B. Irlam. Mr. BUSHEY proposed Mr. Leyland. Mr. lut.sm seconded the motion. Mr. JONES proposed as' an amendment, that Mr. Wales be re-elected. Mr. KAYE seconded the motion. On a show of hands, the amendment was lost. Mr BUSHBY said, that, as far as he was individually con cerned, he had no objection to Mr. Wales, but he had been intrusted liv the Warehouse and Landowners' Association to propose the list submitted to the meeting, and therefore, could not, without their consent, withdraw Mr. Leyland's name. However, there need be no disguise in t'.,e matter. Mr. Wales was against the interests of the Association, and they were determined to propose no individual on that Board who would not oppose the Corporation and Dock Trust in their application to Parliament for the building of warehouses on the dock quays. Mr. WALES said, be merely wished to say, in reply, that Mr. Bushby had said that, with reference to himself, (Mr. W.,) which was not true. Mr. W. BfEKETT said, he did not think Mr. Wales was such a person as the owners of property and those connected with building should have on this Board : he thought it was necessary that a Commissioner should be a man of standing and stable property in the town, and possessed of good na ture and good temp e r— suc h a man as wou ld not, on slight occasions, vex or annoy any one, especially those connected with building ? He had felt indignant when he saw such men as Messrs. S. and J. Home, John Johnston, and others, pulled up, for trifling infringements o f th e act, when it was well known that they had stated, over and over again, that they had no wish to infringe upon the Board's rules, and had given directions to their clerks and men always to apply f or permission previous to commencing work ; he should, there fore, support Mr. Leyland, who was a man o f s t an di ng, good property, and the representative of one of the largest pro prietaries in the town. Mr. JOHN HoLMES put it to Mr Birkett, wh e th er i t was worth while going into all this; when Mr. BIRKETT said, very warmly, that he would not b e p u t down by him : if he was Chairman of the Highway Board, he was not the chairman of thismeeting: the Hector was the chairman. The Cu AinmAN than put the motion from the chair, an d also the amendment, when a majority of the 28 persons pre sent were in favour of Mr. Leyland. Mr. JONES then demanded a poll. Mr. THosiAs DuvErt said, he felt perfectly satisfied, that his partner, (Mr. Birkett ) in his remarks when seconding the nomination o f M r . Leyland, did notintend to convey any thing offensive or personal to Mr. Wales. Mr. John Kilshaw and Mr. James Gill were elected new commissioners. A desultory conversation then ensued as to the propriety of disturbing the parish by going to a poll, when Mr. HARBOR') said, Mr. Wales might thank the present Corporation for the position in which he now stood, and was about to proceed, when The CHAIRMAN stopped him. Ile (the Chairman) thought .t best not to make any allusions, &c. Mr. Jones ultimately withdrew his motion, demanding a poll, and Mr. Leyland was declared elected, in the room of Mr. Wales. _ _ . Mr. THOMAS B RKETT said—Mr. Chairman, I have been intrusted with a resolution, embodied in the shape of a re commendation to the commissioners, to oppose any bill the corporation or Dock trustees may apply to parliament for, for the purpose of buildibg warehouses on the quays of the doeks. lie was stopped by The CHAIRMAN informing him, that that meeting could not entertain the question, and that the Association must apply to the commissioners on the subject. Mr. J. Hotatas then proposed a vote of thanks to Rector Campbell for his conduct in the chair, &c. • Mr. Wales, last year, when the rate was laid, moved a rate of 7d. in the e, but the motion was lost. t Mr. Logan was elected last year, and disqualified by non-at tendance for six months.

GENTLEMEN,—Our attention has been serious the report of an intended arrangement of the — 'n to question, which has lately appeared in the public this town ; whereby, it seems that St. Paul's Church , all ° f the voidance, &c. of either of the present clergy, priced of one of its ministers, without an allowance suicide; to enable the one, and only future minister to en, e ° l curate, to assist him in the discharge of the various in g t V a Lions necessarily required at this church ; and in immediate with the ecclesiastical district and school proposed thereto Arrange appertaining. Without wishing to arrogate to ourselves too great import ance, or to magnify the office of wardens, or guardians o f the interests of St. Paul's Church, and commissioner s of it a nd St. John's Church; the interests of the former b e i ng most h without t p h r o o u p especially in our care, the charge of the same being legall y r e n n e t u r entrusted s t t o e d b e t to prematurely t feeling our selves publicly called . upon to declare our h eeling b u t w e cannot enteredallow i into, earnest protest against such an arrangement; and respect fully beg permission to lay before von, and the publii: of Li verpool at large, our reasons for so doing. 1. Because, under the authorities of the two acts of par. liament, by virtue of which St. Paul's and St. John's churches were erected; it is therein legally provided, by the piety and munificence of our Protestant ancestors, that the services of two ministers should be continued at St. Pi tit's Church in perpetuity. 2. Because, it is also provided under the 2d Geo. 3, c a p 68, sec. 25, that the ground floor of St. Paul's Church snail remain free for ever, and that therefore the congreg a tio n thereof, who merely occupy the pews in the gallery, cane " be expected of themselves, (besides paving half yearly the reserved, or tenants' rentals of such pews, the same gell e k, e ws being the private prop ert y of individuals, a nd all , I, legally subjected to such reserved rent,) to be enabled to make a suitable provision for the respectable maintenance 1, ~-1 of two clergymen at that church. Neither can the poor wh o •-, occupy the free pews be expected, much less required, t o _ . subscribe their pence, towar ds such maintenance, - the \ ..). clergy, eador ni ng ch ,: • 3. Because, at this church, (t e aracteriaric of - 's our municipal ward and neighbour h ood,) t ere are now three full services performed every Lord'sday, and one full service 1 of a Thursday evening, during the winter months : cure of souls, an ecclesiastical district, and a day and Sunday sc h oo l are also attached to this church. That A is situated in the midst of a very dense, and proverbially poor p opulation; , built upon a spacious plan and desi g n, requirin g 1 great ex ertion of the officiating clergyman to be heard by th e con gregation ; and, therefore we are well convinced, from our intimate acquaintance with the localities of this church an d , t neighbourhood, (for one of t he undersi g ned has resided nearly 40, the,other 12 years in the immediate v i c i nity of this church; one of us, a member of this church upwards o f 20, and the other six years; the second time also of both of us serving the honorary office of churchwarden of St Paul' s ) that the numerous pastoral duties required at this church when the same are faithfully performed, are too burthensora; for any one minister to undertake : the said duties h e i o now performed by three cler gy men, (no legal p r ovision being however made for any future Sunday Evening Lecturer), one minister only havin g cure of souls, a nd resi dence enjoined in his appointment : convinced that the c oo _ scientious discharge of the said pastoral duties, requires th e joint, and efficient labours of two district ministers, eac h having cure of souls, and residence within the parish of Li verpool enjoined them, and a suitable provision afforded also for their maintenance, becoming their high and import. ant calling, and their rank and station in respectable society, 4. Because, as members of a Trinitarian Protestant Church, as lovers of those institutions which the Providence of Almighty God has happily established in this land; "for the preservation, extension, and perpetuation of which the Pro testants of past times contended so valiantly and so success. fully," we are not, therefore, ashamed to confess that we feel an anxiety that the blessings and privileges of our holy religion (which we believe to be, under God's blessing, the best sup. port an • d safeg uard of our country) sh o uld be handed down unsullied to our latest posterity, and that therefore we can not remain neutral spectators to the proposed measure pass ing into a law; a measure which appears to us, fraught with considerable mischief to the continuance of the Protestant religion, as the common Christianity of our beloved country. 5. Because the prescriptive Piotestant privilege s ~)! joved at this church for three-quarters 4 a century, cannot be suf fered to be compromised; the Ptotestaut poor deprived of one of its legally appointed ministers; nor the church at large consequently injured, by finally adopting th e comm. plated measure. The bright page of history records , ,that at the period of the glorious reformation, when darkness and superstition bad almost overspread the land; that the pure light of the gospel was eagerly sought after by the people; doubtleste. because it "was precious in those days." But in these das, when churches are multiplied, and almost brought to our doors, when our worthy and esteemed Diocesan, ably supported by the Clergy and Laity, are using great exertions to increase the usefulnees of the established church; the Clergy an d Laity of this Protestant nation almost everywhere exercising similar means, that the blessing s of our leily religion may be extended throughout the length and breadth of the land; surely neither the commissioners of these two churches espe cially, nor the Protestant public generally, will ever delibe rately consent to such legalized sacrilege as herein re f erre d to. Otherwise our Protestant posterity may have just cause to reproach us for having wilfully neglected " in this our day the things that belong unto o ur peace," and thei r more di s. taut security and happiness ! As commissioners of St. Paul's and St. John's churches. and independent of our duties as churchwardens of St: Paul's, (both situations being honorary,) we are willing t o entertain a cheering hope, that a special meeting of the corn. missiouers of these two churches will be speedily convened, to take into their m o st serious consideration the Proposed measure of the Trustees of the Endowment and Town Coun cil, now laid before the public, and to adopt such proceedings as will best protect the interests of either, or butiLof t h em _ important branches of the spiritua l Zion of ou r land, fry suffering in the general calamity by the Proposed arrange . meat. . . Under these circumstances, we beg respectfully to enter our protest against the contemplated measure herein referred to. We remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servants, WILLIAM ROBERTS JOHN BRISCOE.

PRIMITIVE METHODIST TOWN MISSIONARY,SOCIETY,.. brought—Att this outis little i w tt i l t e h theatre, several Last evening, a m?eting of the friends of the above society was held in Maguire-street Chapel, Mr. Michael Ashton in the chair, for the purpose o f advancing the objects of the society, namely, obtaining increaeed resourses for sendin missionaries amongst the lanes and alleys of that denselyg peopled neighbourhood, to lead its inhabitants from the thoughtless pursuit of vice and f o rgetfulness of God, to have some care for eternity—a missionary field of exertion wide enough for the overflowing energies and pockets of the Christian world, for the salvation of the souls of our iname diate b ret h ren, and wh i c h ou ght surely, from • .consistent christians, to obtain as much suppo rt as missionary efforts for the saving of the souls of distant and unknown heathen na tions of Africans and Hindoos. We were glad to see the chapel well filled. A number of appropriate and wiring speeches were delivered, and a collection made in aid of the funds of the society.
