The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those who have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such persons the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of life is almost subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require ; and partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive apprehensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave. It is for these that Messrs. PERRY & Co., Surgeons, particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM. Whatever enriches the blood without inflaming it; whatever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; whatever frees and disburdens the vis cera and other important organs; whatever resolves ob structions, and throws off viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general habit, and brings back the mus cular fibres to their natural and healthy tone ; whatever is calculated to produce in a considerable degree, all or any of these , effeets, must be, under certain modifications and restrictions, equally adapted to every species of de cay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of Syriacum makes a direct attack upon the many-headed hydra in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly or col laterally, to almost every other; in short, the debility of nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent medicine, for its reanimating powers almost exceed cre dibility ; its fine, rich, stimulating, balsamic stomachic qualities—its purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invigorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become restored to their proper power and functions, and the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency, and duration, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature decay, to sound and pristine health. As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution, so there is nothing more generally ac knowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spi rits, trembling, or shaking of the hands or limbs, ob stinate cough, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits. •It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spi rits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wanderings of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, asthmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs, will, ere long, meet the happiest change ; the chill watery fluid will become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthy. Sold in Bottles, price I Is. each, or the quantity of four inane Bottle for 335., by which one I Is. pottle is saved. Messrs. PERRY expect, when consulted by letter, the usual fee of one pound, without which no notice whatever can be taken of the communication (postage pre-paid).

There was much flatness in the market, and as low a price as 93g was zt one period quoted in consequence of the pressure of sales on behalf of parties who appear inclined to realize. Bank Stock left off 179 to 180.; Three per Cent. Reduced, 947 to ; ; Three-and-a-llalf per Cent. Reduced, 101.1 to t.; Ex chequer-bills, 545. to 565. premium ; and India Bonds, 625. to 645. premium. Nothing particular occurs for notice in the foreign securities. The payment of the dividend on the Three per Cents. Spanish has afforded some little support to quotations in the absence of the news from Madrid being decided. The Three per Cents. closed 25k to 6 ex dividend ; and the Actives, 181 to 4. Danish left off 85 to 86 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 53 to 4 ; the Five per Cents., 99/ to 1004 ; Mexi can, 28 to 4- ; the Deferred, 8 to 4-; •Coiombian, 23 to 1 : ; Buenos Ayres, 24 to 26; Brazilian, 71 to ; Belgian, 103 to 104: Austrian, 112 to 113 ; Chilian, 92 to 94 ; arid gortAguese converted, 394 to ex .dividend. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.--011 Tuesday week, the brig Aipha,now lying in the Saithouse Dock, was off Tuskar, at the entrance of St. George's Channel, inward-bound, when the captain, Richard Dagger, who sat near the wheel, reading, suddenly exclaimed that he would fire the cannon. He referred to a small cannon which was placed forward in the vessel. He immediately went to tha galley, and the next instant was seen to approach the cannon. An explo sion was heard, and the cannon burst into fragments, scattering the pieces in all directions. The crew rushed forward and found their captain lying dead, his brains being spattered about the deck. One side of his head was smashed to pieces. THE OUT-PENSIONERS.—The system of paying the out-pensioners of Chelsea by monthly, instead of (as heretofore) in quarterly payments, which has been atten ded with the most beneficial results, especially to the im provident, in Scotland, and the large manufacturing towns in England, has been extended to Liverpool ; to which district Captain Greig, late of the 24th regiment, staff officer, at Manchester, is appointed. The number of pensioners in this town amounts to nearly 850. out of whom 450 are under 55 years of age, and liable to garri son duty, or to act as special constables—thus showing a large local and efficient force—in the event of their servi ces being required in Liverpool or its neighbourhood. Any pensioner attending repeal meetings, or guilty of ft-lony, is struck off the list. THE NEW COURTS.—With the consent of the highway commissioners, the contractor for the new erection of the New Assize Courts, Mr. John Tomkinson, is now engaged in taking in a portion of Shaw's-brow, opposite Islington Market, to obtain more room to carry on the extensive works which will be necessary on that side. We may also mention, that a complete change has, in the course of a few weeks, been effected in Lime-street. The houses which stood on the west side are removed for the entire length ; and the buildings, which presented an angular projection in the Haymarket, are now in process of de molition. The effect of these great alterations is already apparent from the top of Renshaw-street, near St Luke's church. there will be a good view of the principal facade of the courts, and also along St. John's-lane, into the Old Haymarket ; whilst the Haymarket promises to present a magnificent open space of ground. VOCAL Music.—On Thursday evening last the num bers of Mr. Russell's vocal music class held their meet ing for the half-year in the lecture-room, Mechanics' In stitution. After a brief but lucid explanation of the prin ciples of sight singing, especially as regards the manner in which the lecturer employs the syllables do, re, mi, in the class, which consisted mainly of pupils who commen ced in January last, executed to following pieces in a most admirable manner :—" Lord, for thy tender mercies' sake." " 0 Lord, we trust alone in thee." Response. —" Hosanna to the Son of David." Madrigal.—,' Thy sus, sleepest thou 1" '• Fire ! fire !!" " Now in the month of Maying." " Flora gave me the fairest flower." " Welcome, sweet pleasure," with several others. 'We believe no classes have acquired the art of reading, and of keeping time; nor have any that we have heard of at tempted such an elaborate and truly grand vocal music in such a short space of time. TRADE OF LIVERPOOL.—The table just issued by Mr. Withers, the treasurer of the dock estate of this port, ex hibits a comparative statement of the rates and duties re ceived in the years ending June 24th, 1842 and 1843. A considerable increase is visible ih every department• The duties paid on tonnage in 1842 were £93.360 2s, ; in 1843, £96,445 Ils. 7d., exhibiting an increase of £3,085 9s. 7d. The dock duties on goods were, in 1842, £88,871 13s. sd. ; in 1843, £91,840 10s. 6d., showing an increase of £7,968 17s. Id. In the lighthouse, floating-iight, gra ving -dock. and other duties, there is a corresponding increase. The extra dock rent of 1842 was £1,300 19s. 3d.; in 1843, £3,345 7s. ld., giving an increase of £2,044 7s. 10d. The total amount pf duties in 1842 was £198,850 10s. 2d.; in 1843, £212,402 3s. 7d., giving a total increase for the year just ended of £13,551 13s. sd. The total number of vessels which entered this port in 1842 was 16,558 ; in 1843, 16,606; an increase of 148 in favour of of the latter year. The total tonnage of 1842 was 2,425,319 ; the total tonnage of 1843 was 2,05,278, ex hibiting an increase in the last year of 19,959 tons. ILLEGAL MARRIAGES.—A correspondent of a local contemporary makes the following remarks, which will doubtlesss be useful to many of our readers :—" The clergy of Liverpool are not perhaps aware of the many marriages that take place there of parties, neither of whom had pro bably ever slept in Liverpool a single night. The facility afforded to all persona from this part of the Welsh coast to take a trip to Liverpool by steam-packets, has induced many to have their banns published in Liverpool, as resi dents of some parish there, while they are resident in Wales. Some friend of the parties gives their names to the clerk of some church there, and no question is asked as to the residence of the parties, and after the third time of asking the parties are conveyed to Liverpool in a very few hours, and return home the next morning—married. When a surrogate is applied to for a marriage license, be administers an oath to the applicant touching his own and his intended wife's residence, the age of the parties, con sanguinity, &c. Why not subject persons, requesting to have their banns published, to the same ordeal? It would save the clergy from incurring severe penalties for publish ing banns illegally. I take it for granted that all the clergy of Liverpool have seen the Ecclesiastical Gazette of the 13th instant. THE PACKET SHIP GEORGE WASHINGTON.--.Captain Burrows, the able and accomplished commander of the packet-ship George Washington, arrived here on Friday, after an excellent passage of twenty-two days. The fol lowing address was presented to him, signed by the Bishops of New York and Cincinnati, and the :other pas sengers, twenty-one in number:—" Your passengers avail themselves of the approaching termination of their voyage across the Atlantic, in the good ship under your command, to tender their grateful acknowledgements for the watch ful regard you have paid to their safety, and the assiduous efforts you have made to render the passage as short, as it has proved, in all other respects pleasant. The promptness and intelligence of your officers, the quiet and orderly conduct of your crew, and the ready and cheerful manner in which every order is obeyed, and every duty discharged, furnish the best testimonials of your qualities as a seaman ; and the uniform kindness and ur banity which has distinguished your intercourse with us during our three weeks' acquaintance, demands an expression of the high sense we entertain for your cha racter as a gentleman. Please to accept with these acknowledgments assurances of our friendship and wishes for your future and enduring prosperity and happiness." To this complimentary letter Captain Burrows returned a suitable reply. A ROGUE OUTWITTED.—A gentleman resident in this town had lately occasion to visit a distant part of the country on business, leaving his sister in charge of his house during his absence. He was expected to return by steam-boat, at the beginning of the present week. On Tuesday morning last, as early as six o'clock, a fellow dressed somewhat in the garb of a seafaring man, knocked at the door of the gentleman's house, and was immedi ately answered by the sister. After making some preli minary inquiries as to the person who lived there, the man said he had been sent by Mr.— to get the sum of 14s. 6d. to help to pay his passage money. " The fact is," said the rogue, " he and another gentleman have had their pockets picked in the packet, and the captain has kept them in confinement till they can get enough of money to pay what they owe, and I have been sent to get the money from you." " But," said the sister, " the steam boat was not expected to arrive till to-morrow morning." " Oh," said the fellow, ever ready, "an accident hap. pened in the river, so that the vessel could not get so far as usual, and she left a day earlier." " Very well," was the reply, " I will send a friend down to the packet im mediately." Oh," remarked the rascal, " but I was told to say, that your brother did not wish anyone to know that he had come home." " Then I can go down myself," said the youtig lady, shutting the door in the face of the cheat, whose scheme to obtain money was easily seen !trough. DEATH FROM FIGHTING.—On Wednesday, a long in quiry took place before the coroner, touching the death of Nicholas Harrison, aged 32, a brick-maker, of No. 34, Woodstock-street, who was killed on Monday evening last, during a fight with a young man, aged 20, named Samuel Reece, an apprentice in a foundry. Reece and his seconds, Thomas Foster, Wm. Lane, Robert Froste, and John Morecroft, were in custody as principals and aiders and abettors. It appeared that the deceased and Recce had been on bad terms with each other for a num ber of years, and that on Saturday night last they agreed to fight on Monday evening, at seven o'clock. Accord ingly, on the Monday they went to Emery's field, not far from St. Martin's Church, where they stripped, and fought for nearly half an hour, when the deceased said he would fight no more. He then rested his hands on the shoulder of his second ; soon after fell down, and appeared to be dying. He was taken up, and died whilst he was being carried to a druggist's shop. Thomas Llewelly Hodson, surgeon, said he was called to the deceased, on Monday, and found him dead. There were discoloured marks on the right side of his chest, also on the hands and right arm. On removing the scalp, a large clot of blood was discovered. On taking off the scull cap, a quantity of blood was found extravasated between the dura mater and the scalp, and between the dura mater and the brain. There was also a fracture of the scull just above the right temple. The injuries received were the cause of death, and must have been produced by a fall or heavy blow. Reece, on being cautioned by the coroner, made a state ment to the effect that he and deceased had quarrelled when boys, but had afterwards become friendly ; but, in con sequence of a disturbance on Saturday night week, they had quarrelled again. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Reece as principal, and Foster and Froste as aiders and abettors. Morecroft and Lane were dismissed. The prisoners were then committed to Kirk dale gaol under the coroner's warrant to take their trials at the ensuing assizes. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—CIIARGE OF MURDER IN 1832.—A. brig called the Normanton arrived in our river yesterday, after a twenty-six days' passage from St. John's, New Brunswick. She had no sooner dropped anchor than she was, by order from the authorities, boarded by police officers Greaves and Kehoe, who re ceived into their custody a private of her Majesty's 69th Regiment of Foot, named Patrick O'Leary, who had been brought home on warrant, on a charge of murder. He was taken on shore by the officers, and delivered into the keep ing of Mr. H ighton, the keeper of the Borough Gaol. It appears that he was not kept in confinement on the pas sage, but assisted the crew, and, it is admitted, conducted himself in an orderly and satisfactory manner throughout —the crew, a fine set of strong whiskered tars, giving him a good word, and the captain giving him a trifle of money when he left the ship. He exprersed himself exceedingly wroth at being detained on such a charge, and states that he had been 17 months confined upon it in New Brunswick. The warrant for his transmission to England is to the ef fect, that whereas Patrick O'Leary, late of her Majesty's 69th Regiment, is now in confinement in a gaol in the county of York, in the Province of New Brunswick, on a charge, on his own confession, of being one of the perpe trators of the murder of the Rev. Charles Ferguson, which took place at Timoleaque, in Ireland, in 1832, and whereas orders have been received from the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to cause him to be removed, in order to be sent to Dublin to undergo his trial for the offence charged, he is hereby given into the custody of the proper authorities, to be sent to Liver pool, or any port in Great Britain or Ireland, there to be delivered into the custody of the keeper of any of her Majesty's prisons, to abide the orders of any of her Ma jesty's government in respect to him—the prisoner. This is dated at Fredericton, New Brunswick, the 28th of May, 1843, and signed " Wm. F. Odell." The prisoner now denies to his keepers that he knows anything of the mur der—alleging that he was not even at the place at the time.

PUBLICANS, &c.—Three publicans appeared on Friday, at the Police-court, for infringing the law, of whom one was acquitted, anp the others were fined £4 10s, and one beer-seller was fined £l. The advertisement of Mr. Williams, in another page, is well worthy the attention of all parties requiring resi dences or desirous of making investments. The list sub mitted by Mr. W. includes some of the most eligible property in the town and neighbourhood. SCOTCH CHURCH, RODNEY-STREET.—The Rev. Mr. Parke, the able and respected minister of the Scotch Church, Rodney-street, is about to resign his connection with that church, and will leave in about two months, having accepted the incumbency of the parish of Glencairn, Dumfriesshire. A STRONG SHIP.—The Vernon, a coaster, for Glasgow, of no great burden, which was stranded during a storm, on Burbo bank, on the 13th of January last, was got off on Tuesday last and brought into dock. The vessel is con siderably shaken, but still worth repairing, although so many months have elapsed since the occurrence. STATUE OF THE LATE EGERTON SMITH, ESQ.—We have much pleasure in stating that the architect, in Lon don, has now nearly completed the statue in honour of the memory of the late Egerton Smith, Esq., and that it will, in the course of a week or two, be erected in the hall of the Mechanics' Institution, Mount-street—Mer cury. DOCK AUBIT COMMISSIONERS.—The election of eight merchant commissioners for the audit of the accounts of the dock trustees, took place at the Town-hall, on Mon day last. The following gentlemen were re-elected with out opposition :—Messrs. John Marrow, Edmund B. Lyon, Thomas Moore, Charles R. Taylor, George Crane, David Rae, David Cannon, and Thomas Hatton jun, LOCK-UP AT SEACOMBE.—At the Cheshire quarter sessions, held at Nether Knutsford on Monday last, on the motion of I. W. Harden, Esq., J.P., seconded by Henry Winch, Esq., J.P., the sum of four hundred pounnds was voted by the county towards the erection of a suitable lock-up and constable's residence for the popu lous and flourishing townships of Poulton-cum-Seacombe, Liscard, and Wallasy. THE COMPUNCTIONS OF CONSCIENCE.—On Tuesday, Peter Mackay, dressed in the style of the more respecta ble class of boatmen, was brought before Mr. Rushton, and a police-officer stated, that he had been called to the prisoner during the night by two men, who had great difficulty in preventing him from throwing himself into the George's Dock Basin. Mr. Parkinson said he believed the prisoner had been a teetotaller for five years, but that, on Monday, he had got some drink, and that was the reason of his attempting the rash act. Under these circumstances the prisoner was discharged. DOCK COMMITTEE.—On Thursday the usual, weekly meeting of this body was held. The following members were present :—Messrs. Sands, (Chairman,) Horsfall, Barclay, Holt, Smith, Holmes, Bullet', Bowden, Middle ton, Nichol, Evans, Ripley. Moon, and Chilton. The Chairman stated that a letter had been received from the Finance Committee of the Corporation relative to the Floating Bath, to the effect that they (the Finance Com mittee) were not disposed to order its removal. Some conversation then took place as to whether the Dock Committee ought to rest satisfied with the decision of the Finance Committee, and it was ultimately decided that they should wait until a proper answer was received from the Council. A letter was received from Mr. Brown rela tive to the safety of the warehouses about to be erected on the dock quays, and suggesting some alterations for the consideration of the committee, some of the fire-offices having objected to insure them. Mr. Aikin said he was anxious the public mind should be disabused of the no tion that the warehouses were liable to danger, and he wished it to be distinctly understood that they were per fectly fire-proof : so much so that a fire could never spread, and he felt satisfied the fire-offices would change their opinion ; he could not help thinking but that the enemy had been at the elbow of those individuals to in duce them not to insure the warehouses. After some ob servations from Mr. Ripley, who observed that there was sufficient capital in Liverpool to raise a company for in surance purposes, provided the fire-offices refused, the letter was ordered to lie on the table. The committee then proceeded to the consideration of financial business, and soon afterwards adjourned. NIGHT WATCHING WAREHOUSES.—The occupiers of warehouses held a meeting on Tuesday last, at the Cla rendon-rooms, Mr. Harbord in the Chair, to take steps for the more effectual watching of warehouses in the night-time. It was the opinion of the meeting that in doing anything in the matter, it would be better to con sult with the mercantile interests, and with them to de termine upon the mode to be adopted, and a deputation, consisting of the chairman and Mr. Thomas Brown, was formed for that purpose. It was said that the great means of preventing fires in Warehouses would be the employ ment of porters in them by the warehouse-keeper, a con cession, they expressed a hope, from the recent calamities, that the mercantile interest would concede to them. It was thought that there was no systematic incendiarism going on. It was observed that the high rates of insu rance were only as a corrective, with a view of forcing certain alterations in the exterior of the warehouses which the owners were generally willing to adopt, as well as the interior arrangements which they were willing to make. That there were warehouses in Liverpool now (where such alterations were made) in which goods could be insured at thirteen shillings per cent. Some indignation was ex pressed at the very unfair attacks made upon the occu piers in a portion of the Liverpool papers, which had, un fortunately, found their way into the London and some of the provincial papers, to the injury of the port. The evils of the system here were not attributable either to the warehouses or the warehouse-keepers, but to the preference which the mercantile interest gave to it. The meeting was of opinion, that under any system, wherever cotton was stored in such masses, there would be fires. Some blame was also attached to the Insurance Companies, for some few months ago having adopted differential rates for districts, (the evil consequences of which were pointed out to them at the time,) charging, in most cases, the highest rates for the best, and the lowest rates for the worst warehouses, and thus forcing the cotton into build ings of bad construction. CORRESPONDENCE. THE DOCK TiWSTEES AND THE WARE HOUSE OWNERS. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. An article, signed " T. T.," appeared in last Monday's Albion, recommending meetings to be called for the pur pose of pressing certain amendments in the Fire Preven tion Bill, upon the attention of the council. What those amendments are, ought certainly to have been specified; but it is pretty well known that the object is to annul the late Dock Warehouse Act, and to erect warehouses on the verge of Albert Dock, and also on the west side of the Prince's Dock, at the expense of the Dock Trustees. It is not our wish to become the advocates of all the acts of the Dock Trustees, but as "T. T." calls their compro mise with the Warehouse Owners, " the most impolitic, reckless, and imprudent compromise ever entered into by a public body with a section of the community," it is only right that the conduct of the Dock Trustees should be rescued from that imputation. The Warehouse Owners were prepared to push their opposition to the last extre mity, and would have persevered in opposing the then pro posed dock bill, had not one of the members for the bo rough interfered, and by way of conciliating the two parties, proposed a compromise, which terminated in the adoption of the present dock bill. Had the Dock Trustees refused that suggested conciliatory measure, the Warehouse Owners %ould have carried on their opposition, and, very probably, defeated the bill. Of course it is a debateable point whether they would or would not have succeeded, but the Warehouse Committee of that day felt a strong confidence in their chance of success, and they had too deep an interest in the question to abandon it without a determined struggle. The Dock Trustees, therefore, acted prudently in agreeing to the compromise suggested by our member ; and the advocates of Dock Warehouses may thank the Dock Trustees for their conduct on this occasion, as they probably would have lost the bill, had they attempted to carry the whole question, and at the present moment there might have been no traces of founda tions for dock warehouses at the Albert Dock. Several of the leading Warehouse Owners were decidedly adverse to any compromise with the Dock Trustees. The advo cates of dock warehouses should, therefore, be obliged to the Dock Trustees for the point which they have gained of being permitted to erect dock warehouses at all at the Albert Dock, instead of calumniating them for not obtain ing greater powers in their duck act. "T. T." may be assured that it was from no kindness towards the Ware house Owners, that the trustees compromised the dis pute : they yielded to necessity—or, at all events, to what they deemed good policy. Whatever other charges may be brought against the Dock Trustees, their conuct in this transaction was politic ; they did what they conceived was for the public good, and thought it wise to take a part when they could not obtain the whole. Having endeavoured to do justice to the conduct of the Dock Trustees in this affair of compromise, albeit they have never slewn much favour or affection to the ware house interest, let us examine that other position of "T. T," which asserts that the public had nothing to do with this compromise —that their " rights and property were bartered away irrespective of their opinions. The Dock Trustees' proceedings are subject to the revision and control of the Town-council—the council is the domi nant authority—the council, therefore, is responsible for the acts of the Dock Trustees. The council thought fit to obtain an act of parliament, called the " Liverpool Dock Act." Is not the town hound by that act? Who are the public? Can they act in their individual capacity? Are they not bound by the acts of their representatives in the council, and shall any one say that he is not bound be cause he did not give his individual consent? Apply this reasoning to the acts of parliament on national subjects, and let us hear what " T. T." would say to any man who refused to obey the act because he had no vote, and might, therefore, argue that he was one of the unrepresented, and that thus his rights were taken from him " irrespective of his opinions." Would this logic be tolerated by any rea sonable man? And yet this is the logic now advanced, because a non-elector might as well refuse to obey an act of parliament, as a non-elector of Liverpool refuse to obey an act obtained by the council—the plea in both cases being the same, that the dissentients were not parties to the act. This is a dangerous doctrine subversive of the authority of local government, and unconstitutional as applied to national legislation. _ W. D. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALBION. SlR,—There is a letter in your paper of this morning, one part of which contains an accusation of inconsistency against me, and the rest of which is a mixture of awkward compliment and vulgar abuse. I cannot wait until Monday next before contradicting the assertions of your correspondent—not on account of any claim which such a letter has upon me—but because of the unfavourable impressions which it seems designed to leave upon the minds of friends to whom I have not immediate access, and who may not know my real senti ments on the subject. My sentiments have all along been these. I hold "it is to be eschewed that a minister be intruded on a con gregation contrary to the will of the people." I hold too, that, in the exercise of purely ecclesiastical functions the Church ought not to be interfered with or controuled by the state. But I also hold that the veto law was uncon stitutional, both in a civil and ecclesiastical sense; that the e gas which we all deplore, in the Church of Scotland, were the direct consequences of an obstinate and un necessary adherence to the law • and that the two princi ples alluded to, are sufficiently secured by the present existing constitution of the established church of Scot land. In point of fact, that church is now the same which she was when most of those who have abjured communion with her, entered within her pale. Now, in these views I may be right or wrong, but they at least relieve me from the imaginary horns of your cor respondent's dilemma. It is his, not mine. I hold the principles of non-intrusion and spiritual independence, (though I am by no means obliged to pin my faith to your correspondent's definition of them ;) but I most decidedly disapprove of the methods by which these principles were professedly defended on the part of the seceders. Upon these grounds I voted in the synod. I stated these grounds in substance, in the few remarks with which I accompanied my vote, and if there was any tacit understanding upon that occasion, most assuredly it was not on my side. My opinions have all along been well known to my personal friends, and specially to my sincerely-esteemed brethren in the presbytery. In differing with any of them in opinion it has always been, I believe, with mutual regret, but never with mis understanding or unkindness ; your correspondent is the first who has ever thought fit to mingle unnecessarily per sonalities in the discussion of these matters with me. On the second part of his letter I have but two remarks to make ; I have always considered anonymous scurriliy —especially when directed against a clergyman—as a com poundof malignity and cowardice, and estimated it ac cordingly ; and 1 cannot but add, that I think the Editor, who gives publicity to such trash, evinces by far too much respect and deference for the man who can demean him self to write it. I need scarcely add, that I shall take no notice of any further remarks on this subject. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN PARK, 39, Norton-street, 3d July, 1843. IRON BARQUE JOHN LAIRD. We have been favoured with the following extracts from the Iron Barque " John Laird," hence for China (54 days out from 'Milford). She had fallen in with the ship " Bland," out 73 days from Liverpool for the Cape and Calcutta, and the letters were put on board her to land at the Cape : " YOu are probably aware that after our leaving Milford Haven there was a good deal of rough westerly weather, of which we had a fair sample. The little ship behaved admirably, and danced upon the top of everything, turning up her bottom to every sea, and scarcely shipping a drop— and really we had a very heavy sea on the edge of the Bank. You know we left with our long pole top gallant masts on end, and I must confess in all my experience (and latterly even in the Baring, a very easy and under masted ship) I never saw masts and rigging stand as ours did ; they seemed as if they grew out of her—and, although very taunt, there was not the least give or sway i either them or the rigging. Hull and masts seemed of piece ; and, bad as the weather was, once or twice it w ibeau tiful to see her. However, she fully realized my expecta tions of her as a sea-boat ; and I trust you will be able to convince our underwriters that they have not incurred so desperate a risk as some folks imagine. Our standing rigging Is: indeed excellent rope ; and although we have had a good deal of tumbling about, and are now in very sultry weather, yet does it stand as firm as if lately set up. I cannot speak too highly of my rigging, nor help expres sing it—for if there is one thing for which a seaman feels more grateful than another, it is for good rigging that will stand the ordeal of heavy weather and change of temperature incident to leaving England in the month of December. Unexpectedly falling in wiih the " Bland," bound to the Cape, to-day, February Ist, 1843, in lat. 31 S. lon. 9 W., I have hastily added a word to this to say all are well on board." EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER. " The barque has proved herself a good sea-boat in every gale of wind with heavy seas, and sails remarkably well, having passed every vessel bound the same way that we have sighted." WRITING.—We beg to recommend to the notice of all parents our townsman Mr. Thompson, as an instructor of the art of penmanship. MUSICAL INSTILUMENTS.—WC have seen some very beautifully made, and fine-toned musical instuments, patent flutes, horns, &c. at the manufactory of Mr. Jor dan, in Manchester-street, the inventor of the " Unique Valve Corni," which without the aid of other instuments are adapted for efficient brass bands. The workmanship of Jordan's instruments appears to be equal to that of the best makers in the metropolis, and their trueness is acknowledged by practical performers, while his his prices sre very moderate.—See Advertisement. LAW RELATING TO DOMESTIC SERVANTS.—A ser vant girl applied to Mr. Rushton for a summons against her late mistress, who, she alleged, detained her clothes and refused to give them up. Mr. Rushton : You owe her a month's wages don't you ? Girl : I offered it to her. Mr. Rushton : How much did you offer ? Girl : Eight shillings. Mr. Rushton is that a full month's wages. Girl : No, ten shillings is the month's wages ; but I was there a week. AIL Rushton : You left at a moment's notice. You must pay her the whole. Girl : I was abused. Mr. Rushton : I have nothing to do with that; I have heard that case. If you chose to leave suddenly for what occured here you must take the consequences. Pay your mistress ten shillings in hand and she will give you your things. If she does not give them when you have paid her, apply to ma and I'll make her. The applicant left the oourt, evidently much mortified at the result of her application. if. 1 1 46 46, Lus" Teo: „ o r& 0 d , dof „ore 4 Ow' 0; 1 ; 016 l l l i 0 l i b ol i 'roe fe e l f
