TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 18, 1843 worship, there the means of grace—churches and pas —should be provided. But this is not wha tors as well Sir Robert Peel's measure contemplates It is only intended to endow " additional ministers of the Church of England in certain populous places." If it were necessary, we believe that we could point out what are . these " certain populous places." They ate u ndoubtedly such places as Ashton,-Ilyde, Stalybridge, Dukinfield, &c.--places of Vast population in the ma nufacturing districts, and, we may add, of vast wealth a l so ; and though in such places we shall gladly re ceive the aid of the government, in providing pastors, we should much prefer receiving its aid in what may be legitimately called " Church Extension." We have no doubt as to the good which may be done, even by the providing of endowments for churches to be built by voluntary efforts ; but we should much prefer seeing the broad principle established, which the advo- rates of Church Extension have in view, by the erec ion of churches by government, in which the poor lave an equal right to worship, and pewholders' sub- less the object in view nevance ; ve must confess we cannot see the tinence of the case vhich is just now uniting Co s well .as Radical in the cause of repe arvative 'he most re nt offence against the Trish amor patri& 3 the preference given to a Scotch tradesman of the ame of Croal over every other competitor for the pply of mail-coaches for Ireland, the said Mr. Croal had agreed to execute e contract for some ten thousand pounds less than ng that the his Irish competitors. Against the acceptance, by government, of this contract, the Irish members hay protested, in a series of resolutions, signed by Frederick Shaw, chairman, and G. A. Hamilton, secretary; and alluding to such an occurrence, the Dublin Evenino "[fail (the Conservative " Times" of Dublin) says, describe this occurrence as the beginning of a great ;s it not so?

From the Bowden Iron Company. ~ Mr. Edward Davies, optiL - respondent states his surprise at observing on Sunday the : ivies" actively engaged in excavating the clay to form rtificial pond in Prince's Park, and inquires if we form him what very urgent necessity so imperatively compelled th'e proprietors of that undertaking to violate the holiness of the Sabbath. We are unable to answer On the 4th of May, Sir Robert Peel will move for leave to bring in a bill " for the endowment of addi tional ministers of religion in certain populous dis tricts." We presume that this is the measure of " Church Extension" which we are to expect from the present government. At all events, it is an indication of the mode in which the aid of the state is proposed to be extended, by government, to the effort for in creasing the existing church accommodation for the people ; and, as such, it is worth while asking how far it is likely to meet the emergency, in which the cry for Church Extension has been so loudly raised. Any aid towards the building of churches, in any district, it is plain, is not contemplated:, The govern ment confines its efforts to the providing of " addi- . tional ministers of religion." The community suffer- . ing under destitution of the means of Church worship must find its own church; the state is asked only to provide clergymen. We certainly cannot deny that, to some extent, this is a boon. It is something gained, at all events. It tends to lessen the evil complained of —spiritual destitution; but it goes no further. It goes not to affirm the principle, for which churchmen con tend, that it is the bounden duty of the state to care for the religion, as it cares for the health and good order, of the community. It proceeds, in fact, upon a pre-supposition that the voluntary principle is suffi ciently active for the providing of churches; and that all which it is necessary for the state to do is to provide for members of the clergy to minister in them. In the abstract it may be good that we should receive such aid, for we do not except against the Church Pastorai Aid, or any other society, which thus endeavours to advance the cause Hof the church. to which we belong. But we must confess our doubts whether such is the direction in which a Conservative government should meet the cry for Church Extension. The destitution of which we complain is not such, and in such locali ties, as will tempt private parties to build churches. What we want are churches and endowments in locali ties where individual efforts are not to be looked for. What we want is that, wherever there are souls to be saved, and destitute of the means to provide for public rPITI second t (i (the t TION c kdmisgon,ls Books pointments ; OF ST kTRE-ROYAL, WILLIANISON-SQUARE t TUESDAY EVENING, the 18th instant :•formed, for the New Opera, coW- called the HE WOOD :s, and Decorat KING AN AFRICA above BUILD st of - the kind ever built) will be OPENED t, when formed t 21st ius N.Bi—EntrancQ fro - m Paradise-stree Proceeds to be g iven to the Public Just Published, (IH TOUCH FOR ME THY HARP AGAIN ‘-.1 Ballad, composed by GEORGE H.

Liverpool who desire to It is not our purpose here to enter into the enquiry whether justice had been so attempted to be outraged The verdict of the jury was no doubt " a true verdict according to the evidence;" there can be as little doubt fhat all the evidence possible to be pro cured, and all the legal (?) ingenuity, to bring that evi dence to bear in a conclusive shape upon the case, was put in requisition; but, although such verdict was that the accused was " not guilty" of the charge alleged against him, and attempted to be substantiated by such an array of police acumen, we are not about to argue that no prosecution should have been instituted. It was not, either, that the verdict had been rightly or wrongfully retirrned—that the evidence of the various witnesses had been wrongfully or rightfully delivered— which gave rise to the explosion of sympathy at the conclusion of the trial ; but, solely, a feeling of satis faction that a case had failed, which the public thought had been improperly, and some would say, unconsti tutionally got up, and urged against the prisoner. How was this case got up, and by whom ? The parties. suffering through the alleged arso n --th e in surance office—were not the parties moving in the prosecution. Why was this ? Possibly the insurers were not possessed of that peculiarly keen scent, which enables a commissioner of police to trace crime out of the circumstance, somewhat ordinary, of a trades Man's having, in these days of scheming and cutting, been driven to the facilities of the auction-room, to raise the means of meeting his payments; for this, in fact, is the only portion of the evidence offered which appears to us at all to justify the prosecution. These gentle men were not of opinion that a case of suspicion pre sented itself, sufficiently strong to warrant them in de priving of his liberty, even temporarily, an individbal who, for anything which appears to the contrary, had incurred suspicion by no previous ill-conduct. They had no incentive for the display of that exceeding inge nuity, which. can string together the disjointed and trumpery evidence of apple-women and policemen into a charge sufficiently strong to place human life in jeo pardy ; and had the whole matter been left to them, or to the ordinary working of our criminal law, we may safely say that there would have been no prosecution at all ! The case in question, therefore, fell into the hands of a paid public officer--became, in fact, a police prosecution throughout —the virtual prosecutor being the representative of the board of police, and police men being the principal witnesses; and it is, as such, that it was—and we trust that the feeling will not readily die away from the minds of Englishmen —a peculiarly distasteful prosecution ; and that its failure was matter of gratification to the public. The people of Liverpool, it is plain,—and the people of England at large, we believe,—are not enamoured of a practice which, if carried out, would virtually place the liberty of the subject at the disposal of any police official whose ambition to distinguish himself by superior cleverness is in an inverse ratio with his discretion. A police force unquestionably we must have, so long as crime exists amongst us ; a force for the detection of that crime, and the protection of life and property. We presume, too, that a Commissioner of Police is a necessary evil; but we must pray that the duty of a public prosecutor may be removed far, very far, from the hands of gentlemen exercising the duties which we conceive to belong to such a character or not It will be foUnd, by reference to our news of the day, that another of the . West India Mail Steam-ships, the " Solvvay," has been totally wrecked, with a lamen table loss of life, on some. sunken rocks about 20 miles to the westward of Corunna. This is the third ship of the same line, the destruction of which, with its attendant calamities in each case, the country has to deplore ; and, we may truly say,. without impugning the conduct or character of the commanders of these vessels or their directors, that, whether in respect of shipwreck, or disappointment to the public in their anticipated dispatch and consequent advantages to the mercantile community connected with our 'West India colonies, and the neighbouring stations in South Ame rica at which they were bound to call, the undertaking has been singularly unfortunate. Many valuable lives have, it will be found, been brought to a premature close by the loss of the Solway. With none of them had we any personal or other ac quaintance, with the exception of her tommander, Mr. Charles Duncan, who Was well known and highly, esteemed in this port, and to whose memory we are painfully called upon to pass a tribute of respect. Mr. Duncan was the son of the late Mr. Duncan of Holy 'lead, long a sailing master in the Royal Navy. He )ecame connected as an officer with the Transatlantic Steam-ships of this port from nearly the commence ment of their running, having served successively in the "Liverpool," in the "Acadia," and in the "Presi dent,"—which last vessel he left .along with Captain Fayrer, now of the " Forth," West India mail-ship. He added to the skill and bravery, all the generosity of the true British seaman, and was beloved both by officers and crew. He was an admirable swimmer, Escombe—is not the existence of such a union proved by the concurrence of these gentlemen in a common struggle for a purely Irish object, undertaken in com pliance with a general burst of feeling from Ireland ?" Now what is the grievance ? A contract, for the supply of mail coaches for the Irish post-office, thrown open, (as for years it has been), to the public of Great Britain and Ireland, has been given to a non-Irish con tractor. The sane contract has for years past been enjoyed by Mr. Purcell, of Dublin, who has been all this time perfectly at liberty to enjoy any English con tract, and has tried for many ! But because an Eng lish, or rather a Scotch contractor is willing this year to perform the requirements of government—a united government of a united,kingdom—for some ten thousand pounds less, we have Conservatives even, in Ireland, so absurd as to protest against his being permitted to do so, and apparently ready to swell the O'Connell cry of " Repeal of the Union!" Surely this is very much too bad ! One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Eng lish people, in all ages, has been a love of justice, combined with an utter detestation of inquisitorial practices in the administration of the laws. In no country are life, property, social order, and morality, looked upon as more sacred than in this ; in no coun try is the criminal, who has violated their security, looked upon with less of sympathy; and yet, much as we may abhor the crime, and spurn at him who has committed it, we are not ready to allow punishment to be inflicted except upon conviction, by means of evi dence the most undoubted, and after the most strict observance of every regulation which the law has pro vided. To the most atrocious offender we accord, or wish to accord, fair play—an open trial, in the face of his fellow-countrymen ; and we do believe that, such is the extent to which this love of impartial justice is carried by the vast mass of the people, that the escape from punishment of a criminal, whose crime had been almost universally acknowledged, would be received, and is received, with less of dissatisfaction than would attend his conviction by means of the straining of one of those salutary forms, with which the constitution 'has hedged round the liberty of the subject. To what, except the existence of such a feeling, and an impression that it had been outraged, are we to at tribute a scene which occurred in our Criminal Court last week, on the occasion of the acquittal of a young man named Henry, who had been arraigned for the crime of arson ? We are informed that the verdict of " not guilty," returned by the jury after only " a few minutes consideration," was "hailedtcith loud applause by the spectators, and that the officers of the court en deavoured in vain, fora few moments, to curb this mani festation of feeling. As soon as the crowd outside learned the verdict, they also cheered." (.9 Manifestly, there was nothing, in the nature of the crime or the station of the criminal, to excite so extraordinary a dis play of popular sympathy. There is nothing in the crime of ARSON to excite any other feeling than de testation against the party found practising it ; and the accused, HENRY, was comparatively an obscure young man. Yet his acquittal was " hailed with loud applause," both in court and by the crowd outside, — by persons alike detesting the crime imputed, and un acquainted with the person accused ! The only ground, therefore, upon which we can account for a circum stance, so unusual--whether we look at the solidity of the English character, .or at the grave decorum which ordinarily pervades the proceedings of a British court of justice,—is the existence of some impression, upon the mind of the public, that justice was in some way outraged in the person of the unknown individual in question. and never spared himself to save the lives of others when in danger. In 1828, when a very young man, he rendered great assistance in saving the crews of two brigs in Holyhead Bay. In company with another volunteer, while he was with the " Liverpool," he saved the life of a man who had fallen overboard in the Atlantic in a gale of wind, and regained the vessel, with his prize, at imminent peril. In the summer of 1841, at midnight, he jumped over board in Kingston harbour from the " President" steam-ship (also Capt. Fayrer,) and saved a man and a boy from a watery grave. The writer of this was on board at the time. The passengers and officers on hoard immediately afterwards presented him with a silver snuff-box, with a suitable inscription; and, on the representation of a friend (for he was too modest to make any personal application,) , the gold medal of the Shipwreck and Humane Society of this town was awarded to him. On a subsequent occasion he endea voured, while with the " President," to save the life of a man who had fallen in the night into the Coburg Dock, where the ship was lying, but unhappily with out his usual success. He was appointed to the com mand of the " Solway" soon after her leaving Glasgow for Southampton, and successfully navigated that ves sel until the unfortunate accident which terminated his mortal career; and which, with reference to himself and to those who perished with him, so emphatically impresses the sacred truth, that "in the midst of life we are in death." Mr. Duncan, who had scarcely ap proached the middle age, has left a young and amiable widow to lament his loss. LOCAL NE WS Mr. Baron Parke attended divine service at St. Jude's Church on Sunday morning last. COUNCIL MEETING.—The adjourned meeting of the Council will be held to-morrow, when the consideration of the proceedings which could not be got through at the last meeting will be resumed. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Friday last, as three or four children were playing at a delph on Holt Hill, Cheshire, one of them fell into a deep pool of water, and when his body was taken out about an hour after, all animation had fled. TAYLOR v. ASHTON AND OTHERS.—WC are informed that in this important case, which was tried last week, and which related to the purchase of shares in the Commercial Bank of England, the plaintiff intends during the present Easter Term to apply for a new trial, and we understand that in structions have been sent up for that purpose. THE As si z es.—The, present Assizes have been the heaviest ever held in this county, having lasted upwards of a month. There have been upwards of two hundred and forty prisoners brought forward in the Crown Court. Two have received sentence of death, and upwards of sixty of transportation for periods from seven years to life. A report was current in the courts on Saturday, that in order to prevent so much pressure in future, three commissions will be annually issued. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—By an advertisement in another part of our paper, we find that we are at last to have an ex planation of the principles on which the majority of the mi nisters in the Church of Scotland hale been acting for some years past. This is much wanted in Liverpool; and the names of the speakers given in the advertisement, being those of some of the greatest ornaments of that church, war rant us in expecting an interesting statement of the questions at issue. LECTURE os Comuusnorr.-14. Kane, Chemical Pro fessor to the Dublin Society, will deliver, at the Mechanics' Institution, on Wednesday evening next, the concluding lec ture of the previous course, which had been suddenly inter rupted by the accident which then occurred to him. The lecture is expected to be an interesting summary of the cir cumstances under which combustion is carried on and of the heat evolved from fuel. The prospectus also states, that Dr. Kane will describe the principle and construction of Mr. C. W. Williams's argand furnace, and the comparative effect of the old and new plan. COOK OF THE BRITISH STEAMER COLUMBIA DROWNED. —On Tuesday afternoon Colonel Pratt held an inquest on the body of Stephen Workman, chief cook of the Columbia, found in the dock between the Ferry Wharf and Cunard Wharf. The last that was seen of Mr. Workman was at the house of Mrs. Colman, at the head of Cunard Wharf, on Monday night, about ten o'clock, when he started to go on board, and it is supposed that, owing to the storm and dark ness, he missed his way and walked overboard. He was a man of temperate habits, and has left a wife in Liverpool. Verdict, "Accidentally drowned by walking overboard in the night."—Boston American Traveller, April, 1. ANNUAL VESTRY.—The annual Easter Vestry will be held to-day, at St. Nicholas's Church. The liberal papers are chuckling at the prospect of ousting our present tried parochial officers, and are urgent in calling on their readers to attend the meeting. We trust there will be no lukewarm ncss on the part of the conservative body to support the gentlemen against whom the hostility of the radicals is di rected. It is one proof amongst a host of others of the efficiency of Mr. Birkett and those with whom he is associ ated, that such disgraceful falsehoods are now circulated against them by their opponents. Had the radicals been in power, the rates—and, God knows, they are high enough already—would have been almost doubled ; and nothing but the wisest and most economical management could have kept them, even in the hands of our present excellent parish go vernors, from pressing much heavier on the ratepayers. Let the conservatives act as becomes them. PASSENGERS BY THE COLUMBIA. --The following is !Jii list of the passengers by this steamer:s—Prona Boston to Halifax—J. E. Fairbanks, W. L.

A PACKET SHIP STRUCK BY LI GHTNING.-43y the arri• val of the packet-ship Virginian, Captain Allen, at this port, on Friday morning, from New York, advices have been l cargo o t re ceived of the arrival at New York on th e 20th u l t i mo of the American line-of-packet-ship Toronto, Captain R o b er t Gris 2w7otlhd , o w f j h a i c n h u a s r a y i l w e t h f r e o m m i g t r h a n e t S s t a . n i( d a a t h g a e r n i n e e r a 'a Do ck n of the mer chandise, after having been detained 28 d ays west of the Banks, in consequence of one continua: gale from the west ward. On the. Ist of March, in a tremendous gale from the north-west, the Toronto was struck by lightning, which passed down the foremast, knocked down all hands upon deck, and instantly killed a boy named James Collins. About half an hour after the mast was struck, the electric fluid burst 10 feet above the deck, the whole of which was covered with fire, but fortunately no damage was sustained. The American line of packet ship Ontario, Captain W. R. Bra. dish, arrived at New York on the same day as the Toronto, viz., 20th of March. THE FUNDS.—SATURDAY EVENING. —Consols for mo ney closed firm at 96* to 97, and for the account at 97 to i t, but there were no operations of importance, the market being thinly attended by the dealers, the majority of whom have not yet returned to business. Bank Stock left off 1831 to 1841; Exchequer-bills, 2nd issu e , 65 5 . to 675. pm. ; the lid. issue, 675. to 695. pm.; Indi a St oc k , 269 to 270; Long Annuities, 12 9-16 ; and India Three per Cents.

THE NEMESIS IRON WAR STEAMER.—The following is an extract of a letter from an officer on board this vessel, dated Calcutta, Feb. 16, 1843 :—" I have just time to say that the good old craft has, at last, reached berport of desti nation, after a more than interesting cruise on the coast of China. All the people here are delighted with her, and not a little astonished at her state o f preservation. You would have been pleased to witness her arrival, as thousands are. We had a few of our well earned flags, which we took from the Chinese, flying, and I think I never saw her look better, painted inside and out, of course. I fear her honourable days have passed away, but, I trust, only for a time, her ser vices being required to tow transports up, a proof, if any were wanting, of her being now ready for service. I only wish there was a row at Rangoon. I would sail for the place with a thousand men to-morrow • yes, without taking her into dock." By the overland mail a Chinese drawing of this famous war steamer was received. It is very rude, remind. ing one of drawings of ships two or three centuries ago. The figures and the guns on the deck are ludicrously portrayed. In the corners are Chinese sentences describing the Nemesis, of which the following is a translation :—" This war steam ship is above 300 cubits long, and more than 30 high in the hull. Iron is employed to make it strong. The hull is painted black, weaver's shuttle fashion. On each side is a wheel, which, by the use of coal fire, is made to revolve as fast as a running horse. White cloth sails are used to pro pel the ship when the wind is favourable. At the vessel's head is a marine god, and at the head, stern, and sides are cannon, which give it a terrific appearance.

TtlhOaNt eTpheersfoOnllo: referred d pa t r o ag in ra i p t h has h several of the Dublin papers, and as we have some reason to believe CAv Liver pool, we gladlp insert the caution :—" CAUTION TO THE b i therefore , o f tiie valleys, t h PUBLIC.—A p erson calling himself a Protestant clergyman from the Wald enses of Piedmont, has, for several months should be m informed, th a t an official document has b back, been c o ll ect i ng money in Dublin and throughout Ire land.

The Vaudois church has accredited agents in London, and a reference to them or to the secretary for the Continental Society in Dublin, would prevent undeserving persons from receiving, f or th e i r own private use, that assistance which is so much needed, by numbers of poor families in the Protestant valleys of Piedmont, who are suffering from the intolerance and persecutions of a church whihli has ever shown itself a bitter enemy to those truths of the Gospel for which the Vaudois of old nobly contended and bled, and for which truths the twenty thousand Protestants of the valleys are now as ready to lay down their lives as were even their heroic martyred ancestors of old. The Vaudois church has received many and great. favours from the Protestants of Great Britain, and those travellers who have visited the valleys can bear testimony to the deep grati tude which the honest, warm-hearted inhabitants feel for all that has been done for them, and to the kind affectionate manner in which a n Englishman is received amongst them ; and it was to prevent the risk of any abuse of the generosity of their friends and benefactors that they passed the reso lution not to authorise any of their body to collect money in foreign countries." Nnv ORANGE Lonon, No. M.—A neg Orange Lodge was opened yesterday evening, at Birkenhead, under very favourable auspices. A great many brothers were initiated, and the proceedings passed off with harmony and loyal feeling. NEW DINING ROOMS.—Mr. Franklin late of the . Ship masters' Association Room, has opened very comfortable and commodious rooms, in George-street, Oldhall-street. His politeness and attention while at his late place of busi ness, ought to he a recommendation sufficient to ensure him plenty of visitors. NEW OPERA THEATRE ROY AL .—M [Z. H A RGRE AVES —The opera of " Marinette," which has been some time n preparation, was produced last night. There was a very fashionable house. The opera was quite successful. Many of the songs were encored, and the curtain fell amidst long and loud applause. Mr. Hargreaves was called for, but Mr. Hammond stated he believed he was not in the house. We shall notice this opera more at length on Friday. LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE IN STLTU TION .-4Ve are glad to find that the directors of this institution are commencing their lecture campaign with vigour. Dr. Booth, whose literary reputation is said to be first-rate, delivers his second lecture on Acoustics to-morrow evening. On Friday Mr. Crowe will deliver a lecture on Vocal Mrtsic, .the illustra tions of which, we bear, will comprise some music of a novel character, together with some anthems, madrigals, and choruses of established reputation. These, when sung by four hundred voices, will be an extraordinary treat, especi ally iu the noble lecture hall of this institution, which is so generally commended for its admirable adaptation to musical Purposes. We anticipate as crowded an attendance as on the day of its opening. The worshipful the Mayor has sig nified his intention to be present. HOUSE ROBBERY.—Atthur Calligan and Jane Burns were placed before the magistrates, on Saturday, charged with having been concerned in robbing the house of Mrs. Hannah Hawkes Neates, a widow, residing in Jackson -street, Har rington. Mrs. Neates left her house on Thursday last, at twelve o'clock, and locked the door after her. Shp returned at a quarter before ten o'clock, and was unable to unlock the front door. She procured assistance and got in, when she found that the house had been ransacked from top to bottom, and about £l5 worth of apparel carried away. On Thursday afternoon John Roberts, a carpenter, who resides neat the prisoner Burns, saw Calligan and two others carry a large bundle to her house. From their conduct he surmised that they were engaged in some improper transaction, and he in formed police-officer Grupie of his suspicions. The officer, accompanied by his inspector, went to Mrs. Burns's house, and met her with a hundle in the entry. They examined it, and afterwards searched the house, and found a large Quantity of wearing apparel. The robbery at Mrs. Neates's house was subsequently made known, and it was found that the clothes were her property. Mrs. Burns and Calligan were, therefore, apprehended. They were committed for trial. IMPUDENT ROBBERY AND ASSAULT.—Robert Bardsley, alias Bradshaw, was, on Saturday, placed at the bar of the Police -court, charged with having stolen a watch, the pro perty of William Whittleton, publican, Sefton-street. Ann Ellis, a pretty, delicate looking girl, barmaid at Mr. Whit tleton's house, stated that, at half-past five o'clock on the morning of the Bth March last, she was in the bar parlour, when she heard the drawer opened. She bad, about ten minutes previously, seen a watch, and about 16s. in silver, in the drawer. She hastened to the bar, and saw the priso ner and a lad standing at the counter. The drawer was wide open, and she missed the watch and money. The prisoner said he would have a glass of rum, but, suddenly turning away, he said he had not money enough, though she saw a shilling in the boy's hand. Both were hastening to the street, when she followed and intercepted them, telling them to return the watch. She caught hold of the prisoner, and saw the boy endeavouring to pass the watch to him. She seized it, and succeeded in obtaining possession of it. Though the prisoner struck and kicked her with great violence, she managed, for a length of time, to maintain her hold; but, as no person was in the house but herself, and he continued to strike her violently on the mouth and kick her legs, she was at length compelled to let him go, when both ran off. In formation was given to the police, and Inspector Towerson found the prisoner, on Saturday morning, secreted in a chim ney in a house in Bolton -street. The prisoner was committed for trial. THE WEATHER. - -After an almost unexampled prolon gation of chilling winds, accompanied latterly by rather severe frosts and falls of hail and snow that threatened the growing crops, we have 'for the last few days experienced a genial change of temperature accompanied at the commence ment with considerable falls of rain. This relaxation com menced on Friday morning (on which day it was full moon in the afternoon) and the weather bas since been favourable to the progress of vegetation, though so dull and hazy that the sun has scarcely been enabled to enliven us with his cheering rays. We rejoice to say, that, so far as we have heard or learned, the growing crops have 'sustained little or no injury from the somewhat late and stern visitation to which we have been subjected. The wheat and grasses in this neighbourhood never, we believe, looked better at this time of the year, and give promise of an abundant harvest. The fruit-trees and vegetables had generally been held so f ar backwards by th e a b sence o f unseasonable beat, that they too, have passed the trying ordeal without perceptible damage, if we except in some instances, the forced and least protected of the early potatoes. The opinion is gaining ground that wheat will by the autumn sustain a considerable fall in price, bringing it, perhaps, as low as 40s a quarter ; but our consumption is so great that we do not hazard an in dividual opinion. All we shall say is, that we may now safely anticipate the advent of the real summer; and from the generally fine state of the land, an:extraordinary flush of ve getation. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—We are sorry to learn from a letter addressed to Captain Joseph Cooke, superin tendent of the pilot service at this port, by Captain Cornish, of the ship Pickwick, dated 2d March, in lat. 3.10 P, long. 20 40 W. that Mr. Cooke, the chief ma t e o f th a t vessel, (arid a brother-in-law of th e first named gentleman,) and Mr. Henry J. T. Browne were unfortunately drowned from on board that vessel on the 19th isf February last. The follow ing is an extract f rom th e l etter :—" On Sunday, the 19th February, at twenty minutes past ; eight, when in lat. 18 20 N., long. 25 10 W., ship going seven knots before the wind, and rolling much with a heavy' northerly swell, Mr. Cooke and Mr. Browne were skylarking• about the decks. I then went on deck, when they gave over; gild. .thought no more about it. About ten Minutes after, asl,wa§standing on the break of the quarter-dock, I accidentally,:eurned round, and at that moment I saw a leg, I think,pf ppor Cook e , l eve l with the rail. I ran aft, but was too late. then threw the life-buoy overboard, put the helm down, and brought the ship right a-back ; cut away the gig with fou r men , an d hoisted a li g ht a t t h e gaff end. Th gig returned about ten o'clock, after pulling about for more than an hour, but I am sorry to say, b roug ht no t i dings of either Mr. Cooke or Mr. Browne. I think they must have been stunned in falling, by striking on the quarter-barge, as they neitherspoke nor made any noise whatever. Indeed, we shotild'liet have known what had become of them, had I not turned my head at the time of the accident. I never saw them afterwards." • A BOATMAN FINED FOR D RUNKENNESS.—yesterday, at the Police -court, a boatman named Higgini was brought before Mr. Rushton on a charge of being drunk; on,the 13th instant, while in charge of a boat employed in conveying a number of persons (amongst whom was the butler of Fras. Haywood, Esq.) t o th e pac k et-ship Garrick, ' then lying off the Prince's Pier. The case was brought before the magis trate on an information laid by Inspector M'Gill. It ap peared that on the day in question the defendant had agreed, fora stated sum, to take the parties on board the vessel, which was o n th e eve of sailing ; and that after getting into the stream, and proceeding part of the way, he refused to take them on board without a further payment, using,.at the same time, abusive language, amongst which was, " that he would sink the m unless they gave him more money." He was in liquor at the time. Some part of the charge could not be sufficiently proved, the suffering parties having gone with the Garrick ; but the " drunkenness " of the defendant was satisfactorily shewn by Mr. M'Gill, and that charge was mainly pressed by the advice of Superintendent Leverett, to whom the case was reported. It was substantiated, and the defendant was fined 40s. and costs.—[This was, in our opi nion, a very proper conviction. We are not ourselves aware whether men navigating, or having the charge of, open boats op the river, are required by act of parliament, or bye-law, to have a license, or a certificate of competency, and good character for honesty and sobriety; but if it be not so, and they are amenable to a fine only, on proof of misconduct, we think it high time that the authorities having jurisdiction over the river should, in their next " improvement " act, introduce a clause to that effect. Certain we are that, though we have many good and civil boatmen, we have many others who seize every opportunity to extort money from those who may fall within their power. Rates of charge for conveyance by boats cannot, from the nature of our river and the varie ties of wind and weather, be so laid down as fares by cars and coaches; but surely the public should have some guarantee against itnOsition and insolence, by a licensing system ad mitting of only men of character. For the information of parties hereafter aggrieved, we may state that the act (which is little known) under which the information of yesterday was laid, is that of George IV., chap. 187, sec- 73. It enacts, " that any boatman or boatmen, or other person or persons, in charge of or employed in navigating any vessel or boat plying for hire on the River Mersey, or, else where within the limits of the port, or in the carriage of lu g ggage,shall on board such vessel or boat be of drunkenness, or riotous and disorderly conduct, or uilt of y any breach of the peace, or of any wanton or malicious mischief, or injury, to any person or persons' on board, or to his, her, or their property, or to the vessel, &c., or of any breach of contract, parole or in writing, or of extort. ing or demanding any further sum than that agreed upon, and not performing the contract, such offender or offenders shall forfeit any sum not less than ss. nor exceeding 40s. for each such offence."] New PYROMETER.--At the meeting of the Polytechnic Society on Tuesday last, we observed a model of a new pyro meter, invented by our townsman, Mr. Miller, lithographer and draftsman, which, although there was not an opportu nity of exhibiting it that evening, from the length of the pre vious discussion, is, we think, worthy of notice. The model of the pyrometer consists of two discs, set in a frame, one of copper and the other of cast iron, withagraduated ind ex close to the rim of th e copper di sc. The discs revolve in the same plane, edge to edge, and by contact. At the tempe rature of 32 deg. Fahr. they are of the same size, 10 inches circumference. At temperatures above and below 22 deg. the discs do not agree in size, owing to the unequal relative expansion of copper and iron by heat and cold. Copper be ing more affected by changes of temperature than iron, it fol lows that at temperatures below 32 deg. the iron disc is the larger, and at temperatures above 32 deg. the copper disc is in exce§. The increase by heat in the length of the cir cumferetibe of the copper disc beyond that of the iron one, is, however, so very small, that a line drawn across the edges of each, at the points of contact, may, after one revolution, seem again to coincide, but, by a sufficient number of revo lutions, the discrepancy, arising from the superior expansion of the copper, may be multiplied so as to amount to the tenth part of an inch; thus, if the dilitatian of the copper by 180 deg. Fahr. lengthens its circumference beyond that of the iron the hundredth part of an inch, (which is nearly the amount,) then ten revolutions will give one tenth of an inch. Time excess of expansion acquired by the copper will be according to the intensity of heat ; and the number of revo lutions required to place the two lines that coincided on the edges of the discs before they were revolved, at the dis tance of, say the tenth of an inch, from one another, will be the measure of the excess of expansion and of the tem perature. The chief apparent advantage that this instru ment offers is facility to multiply the very small difference that results from time expansions of two different metals and other substances. It will be seen that forty revolutions . of the wheels, h av i ng c i rcumferences of only ten inches, give a difference equal to that of the linear expansions of two rods of the same metals each four hundred inches, or thirty-three feet eight inches in length. This model appears to be suf ficiently sensitive, and to give tolerably accurate indications of temperature, so far as it can be compared with a mercurial thermometer. The. materials of which it is composed are not, of course, suitable for the measurement of very high temperatures; but if the principle should otherwise seem feasible, the inventor proposes to substitute more refractory substances, such as black-lead ware, Nankin porcelain, &c. By employing discs of the same metal, but of different sizes, so that the circumference of the one shall be equal to the diameter of the other, a mechanical approximation may be made to the ratio which the diameter of a circle be mrs to its circumference. The diameter and circumference of a circle being inco mmensurable, lines drawn across the rims of these discs at the points of contact will never meet by any numnbe of revolutions; but the approximation of Archimedes will be exhibited after seven revolutions of the larger disc, and twenty-two of the smaller, and the still closer approxi mations of 106 to 333, and 113 to 335. We understand Mr. Miller proposes to exhibit a still more perfect model, illustra tive of the principle he has discovered, at a future meeting of the Polytechnic Society. COMMITISIRNT.....At the Police-court yesterday, two men, Thomas Regan and H ugh Colville, were placed at the bar charged with having stolen a watch. It appeared that on the morning of the 12th instant Mr. John Maclean, pawn broker, Greenland-street, who had previously exposed some watcheS in his window, found that the corner of a pane of glass had been cpt from one of the frames, and on the 14th he missed a watch, and had bills printed describing it. On Saturday last he was shown a watch by a police-officer, which was that missing. Mr. Allwood, pawnbroker, Vauxhall road, said, that on the afternoon of Saturday the two pri soners came together to his shop. Colville had a watch in his hand, which he offered to sell, saying, he did not want to pawn it. He said he wanted four guineas for the watch, which had cost eight pounds. Regan said it was a good watch. Mr. Allwood found, on looking at the printed police notice, that the watch corresponded with the description of that stolen, and had the prisoners put in custody. On the way to the Bridewell, Colville said it was Regan's watch, which the latter denied. A person also came up and said to Regan, " What is up, Tom ?" and Regan replied, " I am going to Bridewell about that d—d watch." Colville said he had no participation in the matter other than in taking it to the pawnbroker's. Regan said he found it in a handkerchief and in a hole of a wall of an outbuilding. The prisoners were committed for trial. DEATH OF DAY, THE NEWSMAN.-111 Our list of deaths is the announcement of the death of George P. Day, the newsman, at the advanced age of eighty-two years. Day had been a newsman almost from the beginning of the pre sent century. lie commenced the vocation, we believe, about the year 1803, by carrying out the daily paper started by the late Dr. Solomon, the celebrated inventor of the Balm of Gilead, a medicine once in the greatest vogue. The doctor furnished Day with a horse, on which he rode about the neighbouring country selling the paper. The speculation did not answer, and the doctor, after losing a considerable sum of money by his broad sheet, discontinued its publication. Day next carried out all the weekly papers then published, four in number, namely, Billinge's Advertiser, on Monday, (of which the Liverpool Times is the continuation ;) the Liverpool Chronicle, on Wednesday, which died in 1809; Gore's General Advertiser, on Thursday ; and th e Satur day's Advertiser, which died about twenty years ago. Some years afterwards lie joined the dealing in old books to the vending of newspapers, and kept a shop in Dale -street, at the corner of Cheapside. Here he entered into the London newspaper trade, which had been monopolised, up to the time of Day's competition with him, by a well-known indi vidual, named Brownbill. Day could not, however, make the London daily trade pay ; and, like many other people, he himself could not pay the metropolitan newsman. The con sequence was, that Day either gave up the daily business; or the daily business gave up Day. The London business then fell into the hands of Mr. Willmer and Mr. Arnold, and Day, unable to do any good with the daily papers, was com pelled to confine himself to the local weekly ones. When in the vigour of his days, Day rode and " ran to and fro, and knowledge was increased." But, as " age, with its stealing steps, began to " claw him in its clutch," Day's running days were over, and he began, first to walk, and then to crawl, until, Day's days drawing to a close, bay, who had been one of the great enlighteners of his day, by the diffusion of the knowledge which is contained in a newspaper, which, Lord Brougham says, is " the best possible public instruc tor," was obliged to retire from the world, in which he had played a conspicuous and useful part, and die, like many other benefactors of mankind, in poverty and obscurity. Poor Day ! who does not remember his well-known round, squat, bulky person? who has not heard the blast of his equally well-known horn, as, laden with his budget of news, lie hurried and then crawled through the streets of the town ? " Alas! poor Yorrick !" " The place that knew him once will know him no more for ever." He has, however, for the consolation of posterity, left his image behind him in the person of his son. Young George P. Day, allowing for the difference of years, is as like old George P. Day as two Ps. He, too, is a newsman : he, too, rides a horse, and, like his father forty years ago, scours the country far and wide on horseback, vending newspapers and enlightening the public : he, too, earries a horn, or, rather, a bugle, and excels his father in this, if not in any thing else, in the skill, namely, with which he plays upon it every favourite and popular tune. May young Day be as good a man as old Day was, and may he, surrounded by little Days, end his days, unlike those of his father, in peace and plenty !—Albion. PRESENTATION OL PLATE TO THE REV. GEORGE SALT. —Previous to the departure of the Rev. George Salt to the preferment to which he has lately been presented, a numer ous and respectable meeting was held in the National School, Weng i for the above purpose, and rarely has it been our lot to vviffless a more gratifying scene. Pryce Bowen, Esq„ of Edstaston House, stated that he was deputed on behalf of the subscribers, to present Mr. Salt with a tea and coffee service of plate, as some slight acknowledgement of the value of his services as a minister of the Established Church, and as a memorial of the regard and esteem in which he had ever been held. Mr. Bowen then spoke of the loss which the inhabitants of Edstaston would experience by the remo val of a Pastor who had laboured with unwearied zeal among them for nearly twenty years, and a ssure d t h e rev. gentleman that, wh en h e was - far away, his :deeds of charity and labours of love, would be gratefully remembered : that his name would be cherished for the faithfulness with which he had urged on his hearers the blessed truths of the Gospel , and that as the friend, the adviser, and in structor of all within the sphere of his duties, his de parture from among them would cause a loss, which they should all most deeply feel. Sir. contined Mr. Bowen, we all thought that you ought not to be allowed to depart with out some public expression of our gratitude for your services, and some memorial of the respect and regard which we en tertain for you. Arid when I add that, in the subscription list is found the names of very many of the humbler class in your chapelry, I state that which must be most gratifying to your feelings, for it carries the surest testimony to your use fulness as a clergyman amongst them. It only remains for me now, on behalf of all the subscribers, most respectfully to beg your acceptance of the testimonial before you, and to express, in their n ame , an d f or myself, our united wishes ' that you may be spared to the fulness of years, and that God's blessing may rest with you and yours.—R. W. Smith, Esq. of Tilley House, then said, that on the part of the inhabit ants of the town of Wem, he had been requested to express the pleasure they felt in being permitted to join the chapelry of Edsbaston iri their testimonial to their pastor's worth. Mr. Smith's speech throughout .was.replete with Christian feeling, and our only regret is that the limits of our paper do not allow t u l s em to a s n ta w t a e s fu c l o l u y c r ie h rin athe wa s r a m id. e tert i n l s is and o m g y u c o l ' : a t h e r s e i r v t , c e g r e el n ; as he wished him prosperity, he could not but deeply- regret a separation from one with whom he had so often taken " sweet counsel." As a clergyman, too, Mr. Salt had been most exemplary, preaching the word with all plainness, and labouring in seasotiand out of season, for the welfare of those committed to his charge. Mr. Salt on rising said, that o n the present oc cas i on. h e cou ld not find words adequate to ex press his feelings.' It was not in his power to respond to the very kind and gratifyin g manner i n w hi ch his highly respected friengl ana parishioner, Mr. Bowen, and his equally valued friend, Mr. Smith, had thought proper to address him. Hav ing, continued the rev. gentleman, arrived at the close of my ministry amongst you, now that I am about to enter on a new sphere of duties, you are assembled to soften the pain of separation, to cheer me onwards by your good wishes for my prosperity, by your too partial praise of my poor labours in is district, and by this substantial proof of your approval of y conduct. While I ponder on the many things in which 'I have failed, you by your acts to day declare, that you over look my defects. lam sure you will not mistake my mean ing when I say, that costly as this testimonial of your regard is, its worth is multiplied a thousand fold, as expressing the approving sentiments of those whose good opinion I prize. In this act of yOurs to day, I see what I believe was not over looked by you—it is an introduction to the distant parish over whose interests I have been called to watch, being a guarantee to them that I have not been altogether useless and unacceptable togny former flock. I take with me your good wishes, may I not say also, your prayers ? Your prayers that I may diligently uphold the ordi nances o f our apostolic church, that I may faithfully and plainly preach the Word„ and that God's grace may be with me that I preach not in vain. I shall only say, in con clusion, that my prayers will be offered up for you, and I humbly beg that every blessing which you ask for me may be returned a hundred fold into your bosoms." Mr. E. Gwynn, jun., moved, in'a long and very able address, a vote of thanks to Mr. Bowen and Mr. Smith, and the Rev. W. Boulton seconded it. The meeting then broke up. The service of plate is chaste and e l egant. E ach piece bears this inscriptio n :—" Presented to the Rev. George Salt, A.M., as a memorial of regard and esteem from his late parishioners. Edstaston and Wem, April, 1843 ."—Abridged from The Shropshire Conservative. [The reverend gentleman, to whom the above gratifying proceedings refer, is a cousin of Mr. C. F. Salt, of this town.] FURTHER PARTICULARS_ OF THE LOSS OF TILE SOLWAY We have, on the eve of going to press, been kindly favoured by Messrs. Williner and Smith with a Second Edition of the Morning Post, from which we extract the following (From our Falmouth Correspondent.) F, April 16, A.M. The accompanying despatches ALMOUTH were received by Eight the Lady Mary Wood steamer, arrived last evening at past eight o'clock, with th e P en i nsu l ar mails ; her dates of leaving are from Gibraltar the 6th, Cadiz the 7th, Lisbon the 10th, Oporto the 11th, and Vigo the 12th inst. This vessel brings the frightful intelligence of the loss of the Royal mail-steamer Solway, which left this Port on the 3rd instant, for the West Indies, with mails, freight, and passen gers , an d reac h ed Corunna on the 7th instant, quitting that place the same evening at 10 p.m. ; it appears that at midnight of the same day she struck on a reef of rocks about 15 miles west of that city (supposed the 13aldayo), and in twenty-five minutes sunk, taking with her the Commander Duncan, the surgeon, a midshipman named Hull, seventeen passengers, and twenty-one of the crew, together with the mails, freight, &c. ; the whole of the boats it would seem from what we have been able to learn, were got out with the exception of the one on the starboard paddle-box, and the survivors reached Corunna the next morning ; a French steamer-of-war lying there immediately proceeded to the wreck, and saved the life of a lad who was in a swamped pin nace (together with the body of the dead midshipman). They found the mast-heads of.tbe Solway were above water. Mr. Lane, the purser, with Messrs. Ancran and Davies, paisen gers, came home per Lady Mary Wood, by proceeding to Vigo. This dreadful calamity will cause a strong sensation in the country, and has created in this place the most distressing feelings, some of the crew being shipped here, and the names of the sufferers not yet ascertained. CORRESPONDENCE. POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.-SMOKE QUESTION. ____ TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SLR,—As it may be expected that I should reply to the report of Mr. C. W. Williams's paper on the prevention or combustion of smoke, read at the last meeting of the Poly rechnic Society, and which appeared in your Friay's pub ication, and in the Albion of to-day, I trust you will allow state, through the medium of your paper, that I have 'either time nor leisure to engage in a newspaper controversy. take it for granted, however, that Mr. Will will pub 'sh his paper; and I anticipate little difficulty in being. then ble to expose the fallacy of his odd notions, and to annihi te the fancied triumph hi which, I hear, he is at present so . eatly exulting. I am, sir, yours, &c, Liverpool, April 17, 1843. C. J. SMITH PRINCE GEORGE OF CA!CAMBRIDGE.—We have l earned with extreme satisfaction that his Royal High ness Prince George of Cambridge has been pressed to accept the ap po i ntment of Colonel of the Staff (an office of a similar character to that of Commander of the Forces,) under Lord Seaton, in the lonian Islands ; and that it is more than probable that his royal highness will be indtFed to efford th e country the benefit of his services in the very important and hono ra bl e office thus tendered for his acceptance.—John Bull. An ingenious individual at Barnard Castle is said to have invented a new musical instrument, the tone of which is con sidered very greatly superior to the ophiclide, and in conse qttence of its being made of wood, its weight doesnot exceed that of a very light bassoon, whilst the power is said to equal the bass pipe of a church organ. The appearance of the in strument is rather grotesque, being similar in form to two square wooden spouts stuck together, with a small pipe pro jecting from the centre, and an eggcup -looking mouthpiece at the end. LIVERPOOL ASSOCIATION, Or ASSISTANI TRADESMEN The quarterly meeting of the members an d friends above osfg, association:was held at the Clarendon-rooms, °I) ha nesday evening, the 12th instant—Mr. FLoWlat in the c It was not numerously attended, but what was sval ltiri b f numbers seemed to be compensated for by th e teoPecta and intelligence of the persons present. , A e bol The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, saw sat es that the smallness of their numbers upon th eelrebie sion would not damp the ardour of those true a11,,d , it by whom he was surrounded. He believed —and of too well known—that at the present season the bo_vent bour were such as even at that late hour to Pr c tte scl greater number of their suffering brethren from tol their meeting. He believed it was not i n differea_ 00 1 cause, but absolute inability, which prevented a large the di from attending ; and he, therefore, held that it w as . _ d ell of the more fortunate who were here to exereiseenbaisrt energy in behalf of those who were absent.
