Some 'ear that we have no room for a new so- Etat we are already so full, and all our len so entirely occupied, that it is hope vigorous staff for a new society. I ;tire of the apprehension, while at the same time - I hope in a few words to allay it. The society to be brought before you this evening is one of no common character. It has for its chief promoters the Primate and Bishops of the Irish Church ; it has the cordial sanction of the Archbishop of Canterbury ; it comes to this town with s of the parish. I expect, there men, you will give it a favourable ar.) And when I tell you, in addi- Adam Hodgson has consented to be rer, that Mr. Nolan and Mr. Baylee have consented I think I shall have satisfied you in a that our project is not only practical but The Irish Church 'Education Iction 0 consideration. (Hear, Lion to this, that Mr the tr to be the s 'etaries very simple w practicable. to existence by very peculiar circum stances, which it is impossible to understand without revert ing to other societies previously in operation. The education of the poor in Ireland was conducted by a number of socie ties, all of them, except one, supported exclusively by pri vate contributions—that one was supported partly by private contributions, and partly by a government grant of money. The one I allude to was called the Kildare-place Society. The system adopted by all these societies, although not alto- Society gether what we could wish as members of the church, was, nevertheless, in a certain degree satisfactory. It required that all the children should read the Holy Scriptures in the authorized version, and commit a portion of the Scriptures to ominations were found in those were members of the church, ers of various dissent- Protestant and Popish dissenters. Hal information was communicated cools—so much so that the priests of Rome began 'raid of the consequences, and they determined, if stop to that system. For this purpose they ers from the church, wit possible, to of the disposition existing - in English statesmen to treat with kind conciliation the people of Ire land. They complained of the existing system as a grief- Epressing the real cause, which was the amount of formation it gave, but setting forth as the ground s an exclusive system, that the grievar peremptory use of the Eloly Scriptures in the authorised ver sion, was what they, as priests of the Romish schism, could It is very true they could not hear it; but the schools. This, however, was the ground _;ed—that the system was exclusive ; and the hands of conciliating statesmen that they a united system, a system in which children of ;ht learn - together. (Hear. hear.) They urged ht be right for individuals of one certain f a peculiar kind for their own people, ..,ent having charge of all classes, ought to arran6.. stem so as to embrace all the people. This sounded fair id reasonable; and Lord Stanley, who at that is chi for Ireland, coincided in these views. .nxict; vith the people of Ireland, and to every possible juvtice, he coincided in these views, and ^elebrated board of education in Ireland. To this r. grant was given, and for this it was greatly from the Kildare-place so"iety, ..es then in existence in Ireland for the edu , poor were left to struggle without assistance, hole weight of the national assistance was given w board. (Hear, hear.) This board, by way of intro united system, introduced extracts from the scrip --w translation. (Hear, hear.) Here was a two ' 2bjection. There was an objection to ex made as they were made, not for mere convenience, r a party purpose, and as a party against God's truth -re made for the purpose of excluding the fundamen ,,ospel, for the purpose, it was said, of time w; in his a do their hence t to deal kindly ;ed. It was withdra to the t tures in a t fold ground of tal doctrines of the controverted matters, that is to say, the funda mental truths of the g ospel. (Cheers.) Another ground of objection lay to the circumstance of their being a new trans lation. These extracts were not made either in the Douay translation or in the English translation, but they were made in a fresh translation, thus throwing discredit on every ex isting translation of the Bible, and creating what Rome always desires to create, a feeling of uncertainty about the written word of God. (Hear, hear.) According to the re gulations of the board, no religious instruction could be given during school hours except from these extracts—these new translations. For one hour after school permission was —nay, let us grant that encouragement was given —to pastors of all sorts to come and give religious instruction to their own children. Pastors of the Socinian schism, pastors of the Unitarian schism, pastors of the Independent schism, pastors of the Baptist schism, pastors of the Popish schism, —they might all come there one hour after school. The pas tors of the Church of Christ could not come upon any sueli terms ; they could not consent to any such arrangement as would keep them from teaching " the whole counsel of God" whithersoever they went ; and they could not be partakers of other men's sins by conniving at any secret or fraudulent departure from their own rules by the board. (Great ap plause.) The board found that a rigid adherence to their own rules would not do, and they became practically squeez able. (Hear, hear.) They were squeezed into an.exclusively popish system upon one hand ; they have been squeezed into an exclusively Presbyterian system upon another hand; and they hold themselves in readiness to be squeezed into a Church system with a third hand. But, though Romish priests felt themselves at liberty to avail themselves of a connivance of the board of a departure from their own rules, and though the Presbyterians of the north of Ireland have felt themselves at liberty, by getting an exclusively Presbyte rian system of education, to connive at a similar departure from their own rules by the board, the pastors of the church, I say, cannot be partakers of other men's sins by conniving at a fraudulent departure from their own rules by the mem bers of the board, and, therefore, they would not squeeze her. (Hear, hear.) They had stood aloof from her, and what, then, were they to do ? To endeavour, doubtless, to educate the children of the poor in the truth as it is revealed in Christ Jesus, and as it is held up by the pillar and ground of the truth, which is Christ's church upon earth. (Hear, hear.) This is what they were to do • but how we r e they to do this ? Means must be use d, sc h oo l s must be had ; and in order to have schools, and to use means, money must be had, but where was the money to be got? The British go vernment would give none ; the parliament would give none ; both government and parliament had got into Popish bands at the time to such an extent that it was vain to expect any thing from them. What then was to be done ? Money was to be asked for from the members of the church ; it was asked for, and members of the church gave money. The primate came forward, nearly all the bishops, the members of the church come forward, and the Church Education So ciety for Ireland was established. (Hear.) The Church Education Society for Ireland then is in operation under the circumstances I have described. It has got considerable support in Ireland, but not enough, and some of its mem bers and friends are now in England seeking for increased support from the members of the united church of England and Ireland. (Hear.) So it is come to you. (Hear, hear.) Now your case is peculiar, because all this is an old story to you. (Hear.) In some parts of England this would be news, but in Liverpool it is an old story told under a new name. (Hear.) Most of you can recollect that this same Irish board system was not confined to Ireland. We had a late corporation. (Laughter.) The late corporation, anxious to manifest the overflowings of their liberality, determined to import the Irish monster, and import it they did. They brought the extracts over—these new translations; they passed resolutions that in their schools the Irish system should have a fair trial, and no other books be used but those belonging to it. These resolutions were printed and published under the authority of the Education Com mittee of the Council at that time. In compliance with these resolutions the Irish extracts were introduced, and the authorised version of the Bible was excluded during school hours. If it was not, their rules were not complied with ; if their rules were complied with, it was excluded. Their friends here say it was not excluded ; if so, then they were practically squeezable too. (Cheers.) But, while their lthoritative resolutions, printed and published for our in ction, did exclude the Bible from school hours, they did 4- the Irish extracts. Whatever their practise might be, -y to their resolutions, we took thous upon their own As we say what we mean, and mean what we say, „ give credit to other people for saying what they mean, id meaning what they say ; and when they said that no books given— were to be used in their schools except those of the board, we believed that they meant what they said. (Hear, hear.) Therefore we did not go to those schools; a n d we _ . ppealed to the people of Liverpool to give us money to build chools for our children instead of those schools. (Hear.) did so. We got a few weeks £ll,OOO. (Great We built the schools, filled them with children, the truth, as the church of Christ ought to Ind now, aye, now's the rub (laughter) ; now, thanks to you, and the like of you in the town whom we instructed—and though it seems to be praising myself and my order, I must be bold to say it—thanks to your clergy for teaching you right principles. (Cheers.) We taught you the whole matter before the Ist of November came; we taught it to you over again before the next Ist of Novem ler came ; and we taught it to you a third time before the at Ist of November, and upon the last Ist of November you Ight the late corporation to retire. (Great cheering.) w I think you have the subject sufficiently before you for :tire, and call upon the deputation from Ireland to ..tte their case, and enlist your sympathies. The reverend chairman then sat down amidst great applause. The Rev. THOMAS WALKER, of Dublin, Secretary to the moved the first resolution, which was in these That • the circumstances in which the great body of the .embers of the Chu u rp l. of Christ in Ireland are pl ace d, by the withholdi ng o f p which they lc aid from any system of e d uca ti on i n can conscientiously concur, are such as to re qu i re the existence and extended usefulness of a society w hi c h shall provide them with pure religious instruction: , The rev. gentleman commenced o by saying he felt confident, that if the pious portion promoters of the Irish system of national education had foreseen the actual working of the system in Ireland, they not have put their hand to if, but would be found among its t strongest opponents. The ground, however, upon which regarded by being that of expediency, which was never christians as spiri blipped from the high tual ground, they not only failed, but position in which they might have stood. be Romi s h sc hi sm be an impossibility to ind uce members of t It was s t a t e d t o word of God—th a t in Ireland to accep t from us th e whole they would not have from o ur hands the u will—that they would not receivenautilated fromrecordour teach the way of salvation as the commissioned messengers of ' -t High were bound to teach it. It was thenman, that if put for somey ward as an argument , and it had wei g ht with we could obtain a system of education whereb y iportions of divine truth might be bro u g ht in contact with the minds of the mass of Irish Romanis ts, we might look forward in time to the attainment of the great object in view, the dissemina tion of the whole unmutilated scriptures of God. Thi s argument was urged by Sir Thomas Fosvell Buxton, then Mr. Buxton, in the year 1836, in the House of Com mons, when he was supporting the celebrated " appropria tion clause," as it was called, by which the church was to he robbed of its property, and the property so taken appropri ated to any purpose that the minister of t he day might think tit. Sir T. F. Buxton thought it would be right to take the property of the church, and apply it to the establishment of this board which, he said, was a national and religious object. The grand argument urged by the liberal section of the house (and this, he believed, was conscientiously desired upon the part of 'Mr. Buxton) was, that a certain portion of the divine records should be presented to the people in the Scripture extracts—and that the board should enforce the reading of them. The board did so for sonic time. It ap- , peared, however, that in the details of the system these ex- i of God's tracts were irk tAw.,3. 1 'upboards in various schozi:? 1)0.k. rounds, observed this, and he entered the feet in the at the same time commenting upon the circumstance of the. Scripture extracts not being read. This was complained of by the local managers to the board in Dublin, on the 31st of August, 1838, and the board, beilvz squeezable, withdrew the extracts. (Hear.) This occurred in a popish school, under a popish priest ; the glimmer of light shed upon the sur rounding darkness by these extracts was unpalatable to him— he, therefore, remonstrated, and the extracts were with drawn ! (Hear.) The 26th section of the report made by the board in the year 1829 had these words—" We should also state that we by no means insist upon having the Scrio ture extracts published by our authority read in any of our national schools." Now the board was established for the purpose of affording to children of Roman Catholic parents some knowledge of the divine will through the use of these extracts—hence was it supported by Sir T. F. Buxton and other pious liberal members, and the public money was granted for that p urpose ; b u t t h e b oar d h a d b etraye d its •ist and it had given up 0- popish part of the Irish pop, true,„, 'me lation wholly into - the hands of the liornish priests. (Hear, hear.) He mentioned this to show that in dealing with the board as it is now, theylwere dealing with a very different thing to what the board was when first originated. If he used strong language in speaking of the board, he must be understood as not applying it to those who had the formation of it, for the board had departed from the original intentions of those who formed it. And if strong language was used with regard to Lord Stanley, who had the purest motives in all he did, he begged that Lord Stanley might not be made accountable for the present doings of the board. Lord Stanley intended that through the instrumentality of this board, some light, if not the whole, should be caused to fall upon the darkness of popery in his (Mr. Walker's) unhappy native land. Next to the design of causing some portion of divine truth to be disseminated through the length and breadth of the land, was the grand object of uniting the va rious parties and sections in Ireland. England was fatigued with stories of Irish misery and woe, and in order to heal them, it was said " establish a system which shall unite all the various conflicting parties in beautiful harmony and order." This system was formed, and great sacrifices were made to obtain this promised union ; and what had been the consequence? Why that you had now a board of education in Ireland that had done more to dissever the various par ties and denominations in Ireland than anything ever perpe trated in the history of that country. (Hear, hear.) You had a board of education directly endowing Popery, Pres byterianism, Socinianism, and every other schism that chose to ask its aid. (Hear.) The rev. gentleman then cited a letter of Dr. Cooke, of Belfast, dated the 11th February, in the present year, in which that celebrated man said he was free to confess that the government system of education ge nerally was just as had as ever, although the Presbyterians had obtained some relaxation or modification of three of its rules, by which thee were eniblerl to havr cehnolc anon their own principles. The same advantage, privilege, and oppor tunity of giving education upon a system peculiarly their own mat nau peen uttered to the Presbyterians was, there fore, open to every other class and denomination, for it was the principle of the National Society to afford equal facilities for teaching error and truth. It was known before that this was so, but now the matter was made perfectly tangible. After another quotation from Dr. Cook, further exposing the anomalies of the system endowed in Ireland with the national money, one expression in which was this " if we join the board we shall be prevented carrying light into popish dark ness," the reverend speaker proceeded to say that the object of the deputation was to present to the notice of the meeting a society which possessed peculiar advantages and facilities for " carrying light into popish darkness." Hear, hear.) The Church of Ireland had come forward as the teacher of the young, and organized a system, whereby the word of God would be given to them in its unmutilated entirety in order that they might know the way of salvation, and come to the hope of them that believe in Jesus. (Cheers.) Endeavour ing to fulfil His commission, the church was asking, through the instrumentality of this society, the means of bringing be f , re the people a full, large, and Catholic system of education. Its object was to enable the parochial clergy in Ireland to offer to all a religious education—to offer to every one within the boundries of their parish a sound and Scriptural education— the same system that it was now intended, he believed, to be pursued in the corporation schools in this town. (Hear, hear.) The rev. gentleman then contended that the clergy of the Established Church ought to have the charge of the education of the people, and he showed that this principle had been re cognized and acted upon from the reign of Henry VIII down to the year 1825. They had not, however, a legal provision now to effect this, hence they were compelled to apply to the generosity of England. Not one farthing of the public funds could they obtain for the education of the young, therefore were they wholly thrown upon the liberality of the good people of England and Ireland. When he stated that last year, which was thesecond year of their existence, they raised nearly X 15,000 to extend the society, that they had in connection 1,100 schools, containing upwards of 60,000 scholars-20,000 and upwards of whom were Romanist children, he had shown plainly that the society was prospering. It was conducted upon sound principles, and as a guarantee for that, he would mention that it was in union with the National Society of England—that glorious institution established in this country for the purpose of giving church education to all the children of the land. It was taken into union at a meeting held in London, and presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who expressed his satisfaction at the for tion of the society under the auspices of the Primate and trshops of the Irish Church, and upon principles which were scriptural and church in their character. Their system of education, and their plan in all its details was alike; they had formed diocesan branches ; they had twenty model schools throughout the dioceses ; they had a training school in Dublin for the preparation of com petent masters ; and they were seeking, by close inspection, to have the system fully and efficiently worked throughout the length and breadth of the land. (Applause.) They had come to this town under the patronage and sanction of the rectors. In no case, indeed, did they presume to enter into any parish to ask for support, unless they had the patronage and sanction of the head of the ecclesiastical establishment in the place. (Hear, hear.) After a few further recom mendatory observations the rev. gentleman moved the reso lution, and sat down amidst great applause. The Rev. DAVID JAMES, in a brief speech, seconded the resolution, and on being put from the chair it was unanimously carried. The Rev. W. A. BUTLER, Professor of Moral Philosophy, in Trinity College, Dublin, moved the second resolution. I rejoiced, sir, proceeded the rev. gentleman, to have dis covered upon my arrival in this city in the character of a deputy from the Church Education Society for Ireland, and through it, from the bishops and clergy of the Irish Church, that in this city itself we were likely to find so large a body of this most respectable and influential population, interested in the very cause which we had ourselves come over here to plead. As you, sir, have clearly shown in sour most lucid and perspicuous address at the opening of this meeting, we are here as the advocates of principles identically the same with those for which you yourselves, my friends, have been struggling. The circumstances indeed may in some respects differ, but the great principles for which we contend—to wit, education founded upon the broad basis of the unmutilated Scriptures of God, and superintended and guided and directed by God's appointed clergy, these important principles are no other than those which have regulated the Church Education Society for Ireland, in behalf of which I and my brother emiss sary appear before this meeting this evening. (Hear, hear.) Aad yet it is true there are some differences, but not sub stantial differences, between the cases. The church that undertakes to educate the poor in Ireland is situated, it must be confessed, in some respects, in different circumstances from the church that undertakes to educate the poor of Eng gland. How I feel when I behold before me in this room so large a body of gospel taught, and gospel believing peo ple ! How I feel when I behold in this city so vast a mass of persons instructed in the great fundamental principles of the truth as it is in Jesus ! How I feel when 1 know that the whole tone and current of public opinion in this great city is enlisted in behalf of those immortal principles of divine truth that are taught by our apostolic church ! When I be hold these things, is it to be wondered at that my thoughts should wander across the sea that divides us and you, and bring to my recollection that less happy land in which the truth is in jeopardy as it were, in its own home, in which the gospel of Christ, to be preached at all, must often be preached amidst difficulty, per s ecution, peril, and dangers of every description, and in which, in some instances (I do not say in all, and perhaps I ought not to say in many) we are not martyrs for the cause of Christ by our flesh, only because we are martyrs from day to day for his cause ! (Hear, hear.) It is not so with you. God has been pleased to place you in different circumstances. (Hear.) Oh ! what circumstances they are in which He has been pleased to place you ! Oh, what it is to be citizens of an empire which God has des tined, as events have shown, to be the great citadel of His pure and indwelling truth for the sake of an unbelieving and unregenerate world ! Oh, what it is to be members of a church, of which, more than of any other that ever existed, we may confidently pronounce that God of old predestined that from it should go forth those saving principles of divine truth which he has ever intended should be the bulwark of all true national advancement, the salt of the earth, the saving principles by which the world's salvation was ultimately to be secured ! This is the position which England occupies; and in that position you, my friends, this evening are enabled to share. Oh, from your vantage ground, from the height of the position in which Providence has been pleased to place you, from that elevated and eminent post which you are called upon to occupy, we ask you to look down upon Ireland ! We ask you to look down upon a country which is bound to so many of you by the dear ties of family or of birth ! We ask you to behold how dependent she is upon you for all that makes life valuable, or eternity secure ; and in that con viction, and under that persuasion, liberally, openly, and with all the energy of your honest English hearts to become supporters of this last and greatest effort to enlighten Ire land, and make her what she o ug ht t o b e , " great, g l or i ous, and free "—(cheers)—free by a divine enfranchisement, free by a spi:itual emancipation, free—not by that miserable free dom which is but slavery, that her boasted friends advocate —but free by that divine unfolding of all her spiritual ener gies, by that service of God, which one of our own beautiful collects has declared to be the only " perfect freedom. " (Great cheers.) Now, my dear friends, the resolution lam here to support, states to you a cardinal principle of the so ciety which we have undertaken toaavocate. It states that this society is distinguished from other societies in one important respect—that it comes before you chartered by the all but unanimous patronage and superintendence of the legitimate governors of the Church of Christ in Ireland. (Hear.) This is important upon several accounts. It is important because it forms a security, a satisfactory pledge for those who are inclined to bestow thei r lib era li ty upon th e society ; it en sures to them that whatever they do bestow shall be devoted to purposes such as meet the approbation of those who, by authority of station, and by length of experience, are best qualified to know what is suitable to uphold the church and people of Ireland. (Hear.) This is a matter, I need not say, of great and peculiar moment. You are " a thinking peo ple," as has often been said by one of the most illustrious of your popular leaders. You are " a thinking people ; " moreover, you are a mercantile people. You naturally, be fore you enlist yourselves in any cause, require that a clear statement should be laid before you, to ensure and ascertain that what you do bestow shall be effectively administered. The sponsors we put before you on behalf of the Church Education Society for Ireland—[they are sponsors that no other education society can bring forward]—are the Pri mate and the Bishops of the Church of Christ in the sister kingdom. (Hear, hear, hear.) There is another aspect in which the same matter may be viewed. Our denomination is this—the Church Education Society for Ireland. We do not call ourselves the Bible Society for Ireland ; we do not call ourselves the Scripture Society for Ireland. It is not — God forbid it should for a moment be imagined that it is— that we do not make the Scriptures the cardinal point upon which all our education is to rest ; but it is for this reason— that in this society there is an additional element superadded, over and above, to mere Scriptural teaching —an element in dispensable, as we conceive, whether we regard our wants as ministers of the Anglican Church in Ireland, or the general consistency and propriety of our proceedings as teachers of Christ's undefiled truth. Our society, then, is this. We offer education in the fu n d am e n t a l p r i nc ipl es o f t h e trut h of Chrpt to every livi ng sou l ; we d ec l are t o every i mmortal spirit, if that spirit is thirsting for the water of life, " ap proach near unto us," and, as tar as the Spirit of God will enable us, " he shall p ar t a k e o f t h e wa t ers o f lif e freely, without money and without price." (Cheers.) That is our fundamental principle. positive error . But, t, then, we cannot but remember that It applies to all ; it excludes nothing but there is a large and dearer ties • we cannot are connected with us by yet nearer . minis ters of the Chil reh f ro h t rti b s u t remember in Eaglaad and that Ireland,w•e, as m naivs have undertaken to declare page 4: merely ad the Scriptures as they stand in the revealed according to tba sound interpretation which alsot has s e Scriptures ee fixe by our blessed forefathers at the period of the Renforma tion, and from them tran smitted to us, their successors. (Hear, bear.) Thereforeit is th a t to all those who have. OCIEri FOR IRELAND in this ctably attended, was held in the on the evening of Friday, for the town, under the sanction of the beeil bav this peculiar claim upon us, and towards whom we are bound by a special responsibility—with regard to all such we pre sent to them, not merely the Scriptures which we present alike to all, but likewise our formularies, whether they be our forms of prayer, cur forms of instruction, our liturgy, or our catechism, according to the usage which has prevailed in this united Church of England and Ireland. (clear, hear.) This, then, is our double plan—freedom to all that will but join with us in investigating the Word of God, the whole and entire trnth of God, whether in doctrine or disci pline ; freedom to those (and we hope their number may daily increase) who will join themselves with us in bonds yet more intimate, and allow us to regard them as our own children, entering into our own special charge, and united to us by those dearer and closer bonds which that church member ship implies and involves. You will observe, for it is neces sary in these times, when many strange principles are afloat upon every thing that concerns church government and his tory, that this double system is not meant to encourage or to countenance clissE We are boum to hold, as believing we hold the truth, that dissent of every modification is in itself an evil in the Church of Jesus Christ. (Hear,.hear.) The dissenter may be con scientious, but he is still a dissenter; there is a division, and there ought to he no division. Thus it is that all differences in opinion upon the truth as it is in Christ Jesus are, in them selves, a misfortune, a weakness in the Church of Christ, and, as our blessed form of prayer takes care to insinuate into our devotions, a matter to be deprecated before the throne of God. (Hear.) We do not then encourage dissent; but where it exists, where this unhappy evil already has gained ground, we look upon ourselves, not as the fathers of the church in early ages could, when all within the church were one, hut as placed in very different circumstances, which, therefore, call for somewhat different measures—measures not different in principle, for the principles are identical and eternal—but different in the mode of their working out, and in their application. (Hear.) You will easily believe that, under the circumstances, I have just insinuated to your at tention, there are many plans which might be conceived upon which a structure of education could be built—that is to say, many plans might be conceived under which education might be given, in which all parties might share at least in a nomi nal union within the same academy. For example, all par ties might be taught the fulness of truth even in all its minutia in every particular of doctrine and discipline ; but it is plain that is only practicable where there is a perfect union among all parties in Christ. That was the practice in those days in which the Church of Christ was happily freed from the burden of division and dissent. Another plan which might be conceived is that all the various divisions of those who profess the truth in Christ might be placed upon a par—that equal instruction under the same superintendence, and out of the same fund, be given to all those distinct modi fications of the general creed in Christ. That is the prac tice of the society of which you have heard so much this evening, which is entitled the'national board of Ireland. do not now enter into a further discussion of that theory, partly because it has been subl and partly because I entertain a confident anticipation that before a very long period elapses, whatever modifications do take place in that system, at least the Church of Christ in Ireland will he legislatively liberated from the burden of sup porting or countenancing, I may safely say, the undesirable position of openly making war against it. Another plan re mains ; it is intermediate between both. This third plan, what does it propose to do ? It recognises the fact of divi sions among those who profess the truth as it is in Christ; it also recognises the fact that no one can legitimately pa tronise or teach direct error. It contemplates the union of all parties in the same education. How shall it solve the problem? We have undertaken to solve it, and I shall simply recount the solution. We teach to all to whom we are immediately bound as instructors, not only the scriptures of God, but our blessed interpretation of those scriptures, whether as regards the doctrine or the discipline of tile. -ehurch of Jesus Christ. To those who refuse to join us to that extent, we present that acknowledged basis of truth upon which all forms of Christi anity equally profess to rely and depend. (Cheers.) Thus it is, that in our system we provide that there shall be not only a clear, definite, fixed, and certain proclamation of the church's own belief and conviction of her own unshaken truth, that there shall be not only a full expression of her joy in the inheritance which has been bequeathed to her through so many centuries of difficulty and danger, but that also there shall be, wh en th a t h as b een ascertaine and fixed, from those who shall receive from us the word of God, a liberty to form their own deductions, provided they agree with us in taking their premises from the only source of un failing truth—the word of the living God. (Great cheers.) This is the system on behalf of which we appear before you this evening, and which we conceive to be, under all the circumstances of the case, the best adapted for the peculiar situation of Ireland. (Hear.) You will remember that whatever objections some persons may frame against a so ciety of this description, those objections would, probably, if they reflected, be altogether obviated by the reflection that in Ireland, whatever happens in England, dissentions from the established church are so numerous, the majority against us so great, that in order to form any society adequate to the national circumstances in that country we must form a peculiar society. In England the national society does not embrace that second element which I have explained ; in Ireland we are obliged to do so because we are differently situated. In England dissenters from the established faith are comparatively few ; in Ireland they form a lamentable majority of the people ; and consequently there must be necessary for Ireland peculiar supplementary protisions that are not necessary in England. Thus upon that ground, having a paternal care, as we trust, for all that vast population, over which we have been appointed overseers, we have originated that double system which I have been endeavouring to ex plain. (Hear, hear.) Nor, in truth, if it be further examined will objectiors of this description find that their case is so strong as they had at first imagined. For example we know that even in the primitive church of Christ it was not un usual to permit this species of double teaching, so long as the whole undefiled truth of Christ was clearly affirmed. (Hear.) We know from sundry testimonies that it was com mon for all Christian congregations, in the first ages, to ad mit all persons whatever, whether heathen or Jew, from whatever division of the unconverted world they might be, to enter into the holy sanctuary, and to listen to the preaching of the word. There was an express order in the polity of the early Christian church, that no man, whatever might be his objection to the entire truth of Christ, should be forbidden, or deprived of the power, to listen to the preaching of that word. But when they had advanced further into the teach ing of Christian truth, to a more interior apprehension of their system, then came, necessarily and justly, a system of exclusiveness. The heathen might be admitted to hear the word of God, but he was not permitted to partake of the body and blood of the Saviour. He might be admitted as it were into the anti-chamber of the court of heaven, but not into its erubr3ce. What we wish to impress upon you with regard to this case is this, that in such a polity as this, and in such a process as this, there is involved the principle that in the Christian church, so long as the full and entire teaching of the church is affirmed and understood, there may be added to its teaching a supplementary provision, by means of which those who do not wholly join the truth in its in• tegrity may be permitted to partake of those blessings which must, either more or less, be involved in hearing any portion of it, and still more i n th e e l emen t ary and fundamental portion of that truth which is contained in the Scriptures of God. (Cheers.) These are considerations which vindicate our system. I enter upon them minutely, not that I might not have selected some more animating and exciting topic, but because I am addressing thinking persons, habituated to discuss matters of this description; and I think it but just to go, before this assembly, at the risk of being thought tedious, into the particulars of this system, in behalf of which we are desirous to enlist your aid, not for this evening only, but for a long period, as advocates in this kingdom, as eiders or auxiliaries in the best and truest fashion, to your distant brethren in the faith i n I re l an d. (Hear.) There is another point of misconception with regard to this system of teaching. lam the more anxious to allude to it because it refers not only to our system, but to other systems formed upon the same basis. We are accused—we have been ac cused sundry times by ingenious opponents among our adver saries as ourselves antagonists to the spread of g enera l knowledge among mankin. There is no topic of declama tion more customary among those who oppose the advocates of religious education than this ; that in their support of it they introduce or involve principles that appear to cast a slight upon the whole mass of earthly, secular, or temporal knowledge. By these we wish to be understood—clearly understood. Our especial society rests its claim as upon its Scriptural character, so also upon its peculiar provisions, for the large dissemination of sound and correct secular know ledge among the people of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) I would impress this upon vou. If there be any here who is an enthusiast upon behalf of those glorious fruits of human reason by which our race has been so dignified—if there be any here who justly considers that human science is a glory to human nature—to him I would say, our Irish system of education has no quarrel with his principles or his philoso phy. (Cheers.) Upon the contrary, it is our earnest wish that sound education should involve with it not only what must be its chief element, the knowledge of God, but what is an equally important element, the knowledge of man and of nature likewise. (Cheers.) I say these things, my friends, in this audience because I know, that with all your excellencies it is not unnecessary that this subject should be alluded to. lam not unaware that in this city, as well as in many of the manufacturing cities of England, a miserable faction, unacknowledged by God, and 1 trust now unac knowledged by man,—(hear, hear,)—has gone forth, endea vouring to prostrate the minds of Christian people with regard to this special point in their Christian Gospel ; I am not unaware that it is necessary to apply correctives among the people of this as of other cities with reference to this special subject; that there are those who tell you, that when the clergy of the church congregate together in this manner, it is only that they may insist on your receiving the " leprous distillment" of their own special dogmas—that they may consolidate their clerical power and mature their own influ ence, raise the structure of church authority under which, as they would tell us, every free plant of human knowledge and energy is destined to fade away and expire. That is the reason we think it necessary and right to refer to the special topic of secular education upon an evening like this, which is appointed more immediately for the consideration of edu cation of a religious nature. Let no man presume to put forth such a notion as this among the ministers of this en lightened Church of England. We acknowledge, and doubt not but you yourselves would be the first to acknowledge, with joy, that our secular teachers are enabled to put before us subjects of the deepest value in every department of know ledge. We are as free to confess (and why should we not ?) that this world was made by God, as also that he made the world to come ; and if he has made this world why should it not be used to deepen our admiration of its Almighty maker ? However marred, and however ruined, it is a noble ruin, and it bears even in decay and corruption a mighty tes timony to the skill of its original architect. Oh, no ; sin, dreadful as it is, and dark as it is, has not so darkened the world that some gleams of heavenly light are not still lin gering among the shadows ! The sound of nature will afresh yield a noble subject of thought, because the scheme of nature is in itself most wondrous. No right-minded minis ter of the gospel ever denied that, and believe not those who would tell you so ! (Cheers.) No right-minded minister of the gospel ever looked upon any portion of human know ledge, if it be real, as other than valuable. God is the sub stance of all truth, and every fragment thereof, what is it but a flash of his divinity ? (Great cheers.) We respect the labourers in science, we compassionate their often ill-requited toils. We rejoice as much as any man rejoices in their suc cess and dignity ; we delight that they should be placed among the first of the land—and why should we not, for among the most glorious names of England we can rank e of ca C n h n r o i t st be it l s ie z many of our own profession ! (Great cheering.) All this we do—and all this we are ready to confess, but we prerogatives.must C r imperishable that that which four thousand years of type, of prophesy, were not thought too much to be expended in preparing, (Cheers.) We Proves, after all next to nothing, and of no value in the world! We cannot be lieve that Godihimself descended from heaven, and entered, the Creator into his own creation, to produce no valuable accession to our human knowledge. (Renewed cheers.) 'We cannot thus believe with regard to the great truths that reli gion unfolds, and therefore it is that we will never recede while we stand as Christ's commissioned servants upon earth from declaring that, great as may be the m ass of human knowledge, it i s b u t as dust in the balance compared with the knowledge that is revealed to us in the light of God's glory in the voice of Jesus Christ our Lord. (Hear, hear, hear.) lam myself a member of a learned body, and one not undistinguished, I am bold to say, in the annals of human science; and as such I am anxious to place upon record before this meeting the feelings with which we in Ireland, in the citadel of Irish christianity, look upon the relation be tween human knowledge and knowledge divine. Yes, we do believe, and would I could impress it upon you as I ought, that if all that natural science ever discovered, all the spe culations of philosophy, all the glorious visionings of fancy, att ttAt penev ,ever executed when genius had plannel uld be placed in one scale, and that on simple,declaration "-God so loved the world that he gave hi only-beloved Son for it," could be placed in the other—the Scale that hears the - whole heaped and hoarded intellect of man would rise and tremble aloft in the air, outweighed by the all-enlightening proclamation of the love of God to sinners ! (Tremendous cheers.) But I will not, I have not time, insist upon these things. And in truth when I remember how you, whom I am now addressing, have been indoctrinated into such subjects, it seems very vain and absurd to sup pose I could add anything to your previous convictions. But this it is necessary to impress upon you, because it bears upon our religion. Remember this : it religious education be thus necessary to your young people, it is also a most certain fact that the clergy are, and must ever be under all circumstances whatever, the principal instruments in all such education if it should be rightly and soundly conducted. (Hear.) I know, and lam ready to confess, that the clergy' of the church of Christ have too often forsaken their high calling ; but I know that though they forsook it ten thousand times it does not invalidate the calling itself. (Hear.) I know that though every man in the church of Christ in the world, were bound each with his fellow, in one conspiracy to cast a cloud of darkness over the face of the earth, if by the grace of God in the following generation, men of God once more arose, if they could cast aside that darkness, if they could roll away that cloud, if they could by the power of God em breathed in their souls, stand forth once more as the de clarers of Christ's grace, as Christ gave it to his church, then I know their calling would return valid as ever, their right to be the commissioned instructors of the people would be acknowledged as if never forfeited, their commission as immortal as Christ himself is immortal. (Hear, hear.) The clergy are your teachers; they ought to be the superinten dents of your schools, because they are the superintendents of your religion. (Hear.) Let any man tell me what argu ment there is which can place a distinction between the right of ministers to speak to old and young of the people, and the right to speak to little ones in the faith, in the class and in the school ? I know no exception that Jesus Christ has instituted upon the subject. I know that be has commis sioned us through his apostles to be constant in this great work—to be indefatigable ; he meditated no hiatus in our commission; he did not contemplate that we should be clothed with all the authority of our calling, when we ascended the pulpit to teach, and the instant we left the church should sink into the rank of our fellow men, and to be no more than the rest of society around. (Hear.) That was not his purpose in instituting the ancient church. Hii purpose was that it should be universal, not only catholic in place but catholic in spirit also ; not only universal in its local extent, but universal in its pervading influence through every class and every de partment of society. (Hear.) Therefore when I ask you to subscribe this evening (for I will say we want assistance, boldly and plainly) to this association. I do so for this one main reason, that you can secure to this association that the clergy of the established church of England, the pure dispensers of truth, shall be superintendents of the teaching of the young. (Cheers.) I trust in God, my friends, that I yield to no man in this large assembly in 'my deep and tender sympathy with every one of every calling who professes the truth in Christ. I can sympathise even with their errors, for I know I myself am liable to error ; I can sympathise, I bad nearly said, even with their darker failings, when I remember that if I myself am sheltered from such it is the free grace of God alone that has interposed between me and ruin. (Hear.) But while I do so I would still insist upon the principle, that there is the truth of God ; and as that truth is one which you, as mem bers of the united church of England and Ireland profess to hold, better than other societies, you, in belonging to that society, openly, not from habit, but from reason and convic tion, are bound I say to stand by the church of the living God as it is established in these realms. My dear friends—for I feel I must cease—we would have you to extend your sym pathy upon this occasion, as you have often done before, to your poor Irish sister. We know you have indeed often helped us before in our need. We acknowledge that many and many a time, when ghastly famine had sicklied the cheek of the poor Irish peasant in the far wilds of Connaught—we cannot forget it—how England stepped forward to relieve her famishing sister. Never, no, never can we forget it ; for perverted as she may be by misled men, even the arts of treason and faction cannot, after all, rob Ireland of her divine gift of gratitude to her benefactors. I leave this case with you ; 1 leave it with your understandings and I leave it with your hearts. Simply and plainly I put it to your understandings—is there peace for Ireland if this church in teaching gospel truths does not assist her ? I ask•you if " the salt of the earth " cannot preserve her, what else can be expected to do so ? If Christ's own appointed remedy for national evils cannot soothe her deadly wounds, where shall we look for the balm that Gilead cannot give ? Is there any safety in looking for a national restoration any where but where the architect of the uni verse has placed it, or any use in seeking for national ad vancement when the vanguard is not led on by the captain of our salvation ? (Cheers.) I know your hearts are ready to join us in this cause ; and I would remind you, if you would urge this cause any wh ere , you should urge it among the young, among the hop e o f this country. There is the field of genuine patriotism ! (Cheers.) If I were asked of that sublimest of virtues where it is shown genuine and good. where should I point? To the senate-house, or the hustings ? No ! I should seek it among the humble and more familiar of her majesty's subjects ; and (I trust there is more than one of that excellent fraternity here) I know none who has a better claim to that character than the church's own school teachers—than those who cultivate the seed-plot for truth, this training ground for immortal happiness. (Cheers.) Fi nally, we would beseech you to join us in this work. You see it plainly if you merely refer to rational grounds ; but say if you can come to any other conclusion than the one I would lead you to. But little can you know what the case is unless you knew the people for whom I am pleading. You know many of them, but unfortunately they are the most unfavourable specimens of onr Irish peasantry ; it is those who can find no home in their own country that throng your shores, driven hither, oftentimes, I fear, by famine. You cannot know our people from such specimens as these. You cannot know the Irish character from these off-shoots of our nation. Believe us to be a people generous, a people tender and devoted, a people enthusiastic, a people loyal—l will say it, even when perverted. (Tremendous cheers.) I do say it, because even when perverted, it is loyalty of spirit still. (Renewed cheers.) The heart is moving loyally, but it mistakes the object. The great deluder places before it a false phantom, and the heart, in the instant of loyalty, embraces the cloud he forges for it. (Hear.) This people it is that supplicate you by my voice this evening ; this people —even our itomish peasantry, the gospel-deprived Romanists of Ireland—ask you, by my voice this evening, to help them. (Cheers.) The clergy of Ireland—the true friends of that country in peril and persecution—beseech you by my voice to help them. To go further : the mitred prelates of Ireland, the chiefs of our hierarchy—they have largely contributed to our funds, I assure you—and, above all, that dear and much-beloved man who presides over the church in Ireland—they all beseech you this evening, by my humble ministration, to come forward and help the cause of church and gospel education in the kingdom of Ireland.— (Tremendous cheering, during which the eloquent and rev. gentleman resumed his seat.) The Rev. THOMAS NOLAN, in an able speech, seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. How Ann, after a few remarks upon the excellence of the society, moved the next resolution, which embraced the appointment of the committee and officers for the ensuing year, for which see our advertising columns. Mr. CH ARLES GROVES seconded the motion, and it was carried. The CHAIRMAN having addressed a few practical exhorta tions to the meeting, the doxology was sung, and the pro ceedings terminated a few minutes past ten o'clock. Several gentlemen afterwards became annual subscribers to the society. AWFUL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday James Malone, the son of the respected Barrack-Serjeant of Ballincollig, while shooting, in company with two lads, on the lands of Mr. Joshua Sullivan, near Ballincollig, and in the act of drawing the gun up a hedge was killed on the spot, leaving his afflicted parents and friends to lament the sudden bereavement of this fine and much loved youth.—Cork Constitution. Private letters from Manchester, adverting to the failure of Gisborne Wilson and Co., the calico printers, state the amount of liabilities at about £BO,OOO. The immediate cause of the stoppage is referred to the Bank of Manchester, which stands as a creditor for £6,000. This is the very precise bank, it will be remembered, which allowed one of its own directors to overrun his account by £30,000, and then com pounded with him for ten shillings in the pound, without pub lishing a word about the matter, so that his credit should not be affected, and continuing him besides as before one of the Bank directors, which of course helped to sustain his credit as high as ever. Many people are inclined to think that the then and all creditors since of that insolvent director, who after all did not pay the bank the 10s. poundage composition, have a legal and justifiable claim upon the bank for payment of their debts in full, upon the principle of the false credit and character so directly and indirectly given by the bank. The question would seem worth the trial any how, for surely there cannot be one law for individuals and another for cor porations endowed with no special immunities in that re spect. The Bank of Manchester, which at the late meeting of the proprietary made so deplorable an exhibit of the dis appearance of surplus profits and rest, and was questioned about inroads upon capital stock besides in the shape of lr.rge uncovered advances to one or two of its actual directors, ap pears anxious to make up for lost time and past losses by the earliest possible application of the screw now.—Morning Herald. SUDDEN TERMINATION OF MICHAELMAS TERM IN THE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Thursday being the last day of term, it is usual for their lordships to sit until a very late hour, but the court rose this morning before eleven o'clock, under circumstances, which, it is stated, are without a pre cedent. The subject is the universal theme of conversation in Westminster-hallatnongst members of the legal profession, and great difference of opinion exists as to whether Lord Denman was justified in declaring the term at an end. Their lordships took their seats on the bench at the usual hour (ten o'clock), when Lord Denman gsve judgment in some cases. Lord Denman, after giving these decisions (as is the usual practice of the court on the last day of term) called first on gentlemen below the bar, but none of them were in structed to move. His lordship then called on the Attor ney-General, who made a shnrt motion, which having been disposed of, no counsel present were prepared to make appli cation. After a short pause, the Solicitor-General entered, and moved to make a rule absolute, which was granted. After a short pause, their lordships again inquired if any gentleman was prepared to make an application to the court, and being answered in the negative, Lord Denman said, the time of this court, which is the time of the public, cannot be wasted by the non-attendanc e of the counsel. I therefore declare, as far as concerns this court, that the term is at an end. His lordship added, I hope this proceeding may have a favourable and beneficial effect, and that counsel will see that in future it is necessary for them to be in attendance at the proper hour. Their lordships immediately afterwards (before eleven o'clock) rose and left the court. THE LATE SIR FRANCIS CHANTREY R.A.—lt iS with much regret we ha ve t o announce the death of that distin guished sculptor, which unlooked-for event took place on Thursday evening last, about nine o'clock, at his house, in Eccleston-street, Eaton-square. Sir Francis had altered much for the worse in his appearance during the last year ; and it is said that lie was for some time affected by a disease of the heart, which, however, did not cause him any great alarm ; but on the evening above stated he was suddenly seized with a spasm or sense of severe compression of the chest. A medical gentleman was immediately called in, who ordered a medicine, the application of which afforded so much relief to the sufferer, that he, though rather impru dently, believed himself safe enough to join his small dinner party, at which he seemed to enjoy his usual state of good spirits. Shortly after dinner, however, he was seized with a spasm still more severe than the first, and in less than half an hour he was no more. Sir Francis was a very remarkable instance of the rise of talent from obscurity to eminence. He was born at Norton, in Derbyshire, in 1782. His father was what is called a small farmer, and it is stated that young Chantrey frequently took charge of the milk, butter, and eggs from the farm to Sheffield market, and it is still remem bered that the butter often exhibited strong indications of the modeller's art; his genius was, however doomed to re main in obscurity for some time longer ; he was apprenticed to a carver and gilder in Sheffield, in whose service young Chantrey's genius had not a single opportunity to display itself. Fortunately for him, however, he had an uncle in London who was butle r to the late Miss D'Oyly ; to the metropolis, therefore, the young aspirant came, and was re ceived with great kindness by his uncle. Sir Francis com menced his career as a portrait painter, but did not do much in that line. The bent of his talent was for modelling, his first e ssay at which was a head of Horne Tooke, in which he was very successful. Sir Francis married in 1809 a Miss Watt, but has left no family. His lady survives him. At the inquest the unanimous verdict was, - that he died of spasm at the heart. ...l i t tarlitts. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 26 For the ensuing week, the duty on foreign Wheat is re duced to 22s Bd, on Oats to 13s 9d, on Rye to 12s 6d per qr, on Flour to 13s 74d per brl ; that on all British colonial produce remaining unvaried. Since our report of Tuesday we have to note a moderate quantity of Wheat, Oats, and Flour, with a further good supply of Oatmeal from Ireland ; but of anything coastwise or from abroad the arrivals are comparatively light. The generally indifferent state of business in the manufac turing districts, and the depression in many of the leading corn markets of the kingdom, having conduced to increase the languor previously complained of here ; the transactions since Tuesday have been extremely limited, and had buyers appeared, most articles of the trade might have been pur chased on somewhat easier terms. At our Corn Exchange to-day, a few thousand bushels of foreign free Wheat having been disposed of for shipment to Ireland, appeared to give the trade for this grain a rather firmer tone, and on the part of holders there was decidedly less inclination shown to press sales than at an ear li er period of the wee k : b ut upon a limited a tt en d ance of country bnyers, and our local mill ers continuing to buy very cautiously, no amendment in prices was apparent for these descriptions, and English, as well as Irish barely sustained our last quotations. English, Irish, and foreign Flour, upon a very limited enquiry, must be deemed the turn cheaper. Malting Barley, the quality not being sufficiently attrac tive, was offered with little effect at a decline of Is. per qr. ; and Malt, being more difficult to sell, experienced a similar abatement. In Grinding Barley we have no material change to note. Beans were in some request, but on rather lower terms, Egyptian being offered at 31s, and in one or two instances 30s per qr was accepted.—ln Peas no alteration. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT.

The supply of English Wheat has been trifling since Monday, and prices remain nominally the same. 'there is but little doing iu foreign, and where a quantity has been disposed of, lower rates have been submitted to ; some sales of bonded have been made at declining prices. In Barley, Peas, and Beans there is no alteration, and Oats area dull sale at Monday's currency. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, Nov. 21. We have a fair supply of Wheat and Barley to this day's market, but small of other articles. Dry new, and fine old white Wheat, are in good demand at rather under last week's prices; other qualities slow sales at Is deciine. Barley very unsaleable, although offered Is to 2s below last. Beans, Oats, and Shellings in fair de mand at rather less money. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov. 29. There is less excitement in the Butter trade ;—prices of the finer qualities remain as before, whilst middling and inferior may be purchased on better terms. Provisions, except in the retail way for stores, are dull, nor need we look for much improvement in the demand until the commencement of spring shipments. Bacon hangs rather heavily upon the market, and may be quoted 2s per cwt. lower. Belfast long middles, 57s to 58s. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 29. We have had a fair number of Cattle and Sheep at this day's market, but generally speaking of a very inferior quality. Prime Beef being very scarce, met ready sale at 6d to 6fd, middling sid, inferior 42d to sd. Prime Wethers scarce, and sold at 7d to 7ad, Ewes 6d to 6id per lb. sinking the offal. Several lots of in ferior Cattle and Sheep were turned out unsold. Number of Beasts 1,618; Sheep, 5,060. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 26. Notwithstanding we had a very moderate number of Beasts offering in to-day's market, the demand, for all except the finest qualities, was on the whole dull, yet the currencies noted on Mon. day last were well supported, and a good clearance was effected by the dealers, whose attendance was small. From Scotland, the arrivals comprised only 25 Beasts and 34 Sheep. There was a fair average time of year supply of Sheep on sale. The primest old Downs moved off freely ; but in other kinds of Sheep next to nothing was passing, at unvaried currencies. Owing to the limited nature of the supply of Calves, the best qualities were 4d per 81b dearer, while the value of other descriptions of veal was well sup ported. All kinds of pigs sold steadily at late rates. Milch Cows sold at from -el 8 lOs to e2l each, including their small Calf. By the quantities of 81bs, sinking the offal. MANCHESTER CORN MARKET.—Nov. 27. Thers is no alteration to notice in the state of trade during the week, the consumers continuing to supply themselves with Flour and Oatmeal in reference to the necessity for immediate use only. At our market this morning there was but little activity displayed, and in the value of English Wheat a decline of 3d per 70 lbs must be noted; Irish was likewise of at a reduction of 4d to tid, and fewsales effected. The business done in Flour was at the pre viously nominal rates, and 54s per sack must be considered an ex treme quotation. Oats were dull sale at a decline of Id to 3d per 45 lbs, and Oatmeal, excepting of very choice quality, could have been purchased on lower terms. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, NOVEMBER 29. Since the 26th instant, there is a large arrival of Irish Potatoes, and a moderate quantity of both Manx and Scotch to hand,—the business in which continues exceedingly slack, both to our town and country dealers, although we cannot quote any alteration in prices. The Best Manx and Scotch Cups are selling at is gd to is tod; inferior, is Bd.—lrish, is Bfd to Is get per 90 lbs.,—the quality very good. The Hay Market was only scantily supplied on Saturday with the usual farm produce exhibited there, the demand for which was dull, at declining prices. Pink Eye Potatoes 2s to 2s 2d ; Cups is 7d to is 10d ; Short Tops Is 6d to is pd; Cattle is to is 5d per g•.l lbs. Turnips 22s to 24s 6d ; Mauglewurzle 21s; Carrots 40s to 45s 6d per ton. Old Flay 8d to I Id; New lid to Is ; Clover 7d to gd per 20 lbs. Wheat Straw 4d to 4d; Oat 3d to 3id per 24 lbs, LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 26. The demand for Cotton to-day has been much on a par with yesterday's, viz., to the extent of 3500 bales, at similar prices, with a very steady but quiet market. The sales for the week amount to 24,820 bales, of which speculators have taken 2900 American, and 1000 bales for export. Prices of all descriptions are very similar to our quotations on Friday last. COTTON MARKET, NOV/MIXER 27. The increase of demand noticed in our market early in the week is partially subsided, and we are quiet again with a steady and firm feeling as regards prices. Holders are unwilling to make further concessions, and purchasers again merely supply their immediate wants. The quantity suld to-day is 3,500 bales. COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER 29. The arrival of the packet (from New York on the 9th instant) with reported damage of frost to the forthcoming crops, would in brisk times have given an impetus to our market, but we are all too much paralyzed by continuance of bad trade to be roused, but by something more appalling. Consequent, the rumour whether vague or well founded, has had no effect upon us. The business to-day is estimated at 4.000 bales, with a firm and steady feeling throughout for American, whilst all long stapled Cotton is going rapidly down the incline, where it will probably remain, unless the lowness of price tempts the consumers to bring it more into use than of late., COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT There has been a fair demand from the Trade, with some inquiry on speculation, and the market has assumed rather more steadiness than for some time past, but prices of all descriptions remain much the same as last week. 2900 American have been taken on specu lation, and 300 American and 700 Surat for export.
