_~-' r"`~ - Kibtrpooi tanbarbf FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. Monday Morning. THERE 'S something indescribably assuring and encou raging in the cetainty that a sound constitutional govern ment presides over the destinies of the country—a go vernment not made of squeez,ble materials, which only requires violent pressure to yield everything it can yield— a governMent that will not truckle to this knot of impu dent brawlers, or to that—a government that will not throw itself into the meretricious arms of Democracy one day, and the next rush frightened back to the protecting embraces of legitimate Conservatism. Throughout the country a feeling o security and confidence in the present government man!festa itself in a thousand ways. In the capital it is remarkably distinct—it is palpable to all who will observe what surrounds them. Compare London during the present season with what it was under the Whig-Radical rule of the late administration, and the contrast is most striking. Now life, hustle, activity, prosperity - , contentment, pleasure. are visible on the ccuntenances of all classes and all degrees. The shops are file. with prctita!)l4-3 customers, the streets are thrcnged with splendid equipages, the money circulates through the wholo circle of society in revivifying currents. The celebration of her MAJgSTY'S birthday was indeed rlaznif.cont in every sense. it - reminded one of the good old days of chivalry, loyalty. nobility, and courtesy. The honours paid to the SOVEREIGN were nut mere formali ties prescribed by custom, in which the heart and the feelings were unconcerned. There was a spirit of ,qcnuirie enthusiasm pervading the general festivity—there was an ardent desire to 'honour the QUErS, and to respect the re7igious and political, of which she is the in2tßutior , head and the defender. What a superb assemblage of rangy and beauty and distinction thronged the Royal pa lace of St. James on Thursday last ! It is many a long day since so many lofty plumes, so many illustrious crests, so many high-born dames, and greatly-gifted men, were seen congregated in that grim but grand old residence of rcvalty. The rooms of state, celebrated for their extent and gorgeous magnifirence, the vestibules, the anti-rooms, the staircases, the porches, the very court-yards, were unable to contain the multitudes that eagerly bat grace fully pressed forward to hand the knee and make the courtesy to the British QUEEN. The prevailing style of costume, approaching, as it does, the elegant and flowing fashions of the times of Louis XIV., ad , ed immensely to the brilliancy of the scene, and rendered the whole cere mony surpassingly beautiful. Her 'MAJESTY was highly gratified with this demonstration of loyal devotion, and exhibited her pleasure by looks, and expressed her satis faction by words. The banquets, ministerial and other, that followed, were worthy of association with this splen did birth-day drawing-room. Old Downing-street was fairly shaken from its dull propriety by the incessant roll of carriages that bore the creme de la creme of the aristo cracy and the intellectual greatness of England to the sa lons of the lady of the First Minister. The Duke. of WELLINGTON'S magnificent ball on the following night, given in compliment to the Princess MARY of CAMBRIDGE, and to which twelve hundred of the high aristocracy were invited, was a worthy corollary , to the birth-day solemni ties. It was a glorious sight to see the fine old man do ing the honours so gallantly as he did on this joyous oc casion, and looking us brisk and hearty as he did any time these twenty years. It would be vain to attempt to notice a tenth part of the feAivities that at present enliven the me tropolis. London fashionable life is now what it should be. The days of shabby broughams, lanky coachmen, dirty cabs, and hack carriages, with six ladies packed in them like red herrings, is gone by, and the days of softly-roiling chariots, jolly - fat coachmen, grand-dress liveries, and re sponsible bouquets are come back ; and, if I am not much mistaken in my prognostications, the days—or rather the nights—of hair powder, black beauty-patches, cloth of gold, laces, bright eyes, and dazzling complexions, will be here anon.- The old drama of the Rebellion of the Belly and the Members has been revived at the Imperial Theatre at Westminster. It is an English adaptation, and not the original Roman comedy that has been rehearsed. The plot of this little vaudeville is simple and short, but vitally interesting. It having been found that the Com mons were growing uncommonly saucy, the LORD CHAM BERLAIN bethought him of a way of taking the conceit out of them, and with that intent he determined to fight them with their own weapons—" stopping the supplies." As major domo of her MAJESTY'S police of Westminster, he forthwith issued a decree interdicting their daily allow ance of penny buns, lemonade, gingerbread, and oranges —in short, all the elements of long speeches and effer vescent oratory. This declaration of war upon their very existence, roused the spirit of the modern HAMPDENS to boiling heat. They determined not to be starved out ; they resolved to rebel desperately against short com mons toile que ecAte. Alderman HUMPHREY led the van of the discontents, declared that to stop their cake and ale was to deprive them of their consti tutional privileges, and proposed to raise a rifle corps of aldermen in defence of the entire body or whole corporation of legislators. Little ROEBUCK, whose general diet is an Abernethy biscuit and a cup of milk, and who never drinks anything more alcoholic than a glass of water with a gooseberry in it, felt so keenly the unconstitutional nature of the interference of the LORD CHAMBERLAIN, that be declared he would swallow a pint of brandy under the royal official's very nose,'and sell apples himself in the corridor, in pure defiance of royal authority, merely to try the issue. BRIGHT, although a man emphatically of peace, cried for " war to the knife;" and even old BROTHERTON, who is a decided vegetarian and absolute teetotaller, shouted out he could not stand it. Things looked rife for desperate action, when the politic CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER calmed the angry spirits. He offered his mediation between the hunger-stung house and the comfortably provisioned LORD CHAMBERLAIN. That mediation was fortunately accepted, and thus for the present the great constitutional contest between the Commons and the Crown is held in abeyance. What I anticipated last week has come to pass. The faction who made the welkin ring by shouting for a dis solution of Parliament and for electoral reform have laboured incessantly, and too successfully, in stopping reform, and in postponing the appeal to the country. They who can agree in nothing else, agree in obstructing ; and, whether under the leadership of GLADSTONE or of COBDEN, is a matter of indifference to them. Nothing can be more disgraceful than the senseless obstructions offered to the Militia Bill, and which, it appears, are to be continued this week. Even Lord - I OHN RUSSELL has been ashamed of them, and keeps out of the House, leaving BRIGHT, COBDEN, and MILNER GIBSON to do the dirty work. As to the Maynooth debate, although the motion for a committee of inquiry has been virtually carried, it is doubtful if a division can be obtained on the question in the existing Parliament, on account of the factious and obstructive course of proceeding which the Pope's brass band have sworn to adopt. The whole Ultramontane confederation have declared their intention of consuming the time of the House by making inter minable speeches, and thus protract the debate. That they will pursue this disgraceful system, is not to be doubted. Excommunication stares them in the face. They must obey the commands of the Vatican, or stand its thunders. Who can doubt the fanatical prostration of such per verts as MONSELL, and such priest-driven slaves as MOORE ? They are sworn to die on the floor of the house, or stop the committee. " This vile apostate bends to Baal the knee. And, for a little meat and guzzle, This sneaking cur, too, takes the muzzle." But, by whatever Jesuitical devices or Romish frauds the appointment of the committee of inquiry into the Maynooth hot-bed of superstition and Popery may be delayed, the days of that establishment, as a state-provisioned one, are numbered. Timely and powerfully did the great Protes tant meeting at Exeter -hall come to the assistance of Parliament in enlightening the public upon the iniquitous doctrines taught and the demoralising principles incul cated in the Irish seminary of priestcraft. Never did Dr. isI,N E/L E, Mr. NOLAN, and the other gentlemen who spoke a t Exeter-hall, do greater service than on that occasion, and never was there held in this great metropolis a more important or more influential meeting. Unbounded was the joy of the popish band on Tuesday morning last, when they learnt that Mr. SPOONER had met with an accident on t he p revious evening, and hi g h were their hopes that he would have been unable to come down to the House of Commons to bring forward his promised motion. But Mr. SPOONER'S heart and soul are engaged in the Maynooth question, and despite the pain he was enduring, and in defiance of the advice of his medical attendant, he persisted in accomplishing the task he had imposed on himself. He was led supportd by his worthy colleague and another M.P. to his place in parlia ment, and though his voice was weak, and his physical energies were impaired, he made a speech that will be ilciAid throughout the length and breadth of the land, and THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1852. in which is contained the death-doom of the Maynooth grant. " Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again, The eternal years of God are her's : But Error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies." Honour to SPOONER,—he has done the state and religion good service. I am sorry to say that Lord DERBY has bad a very severe fit of the gout, which has disabled him from attending to his official duties for the last three days. He was obliged to absent himself from the privy council and the cabinet council held on Saturday, but the violence of tha attack has much abated, and it is hoped he will be able to resume 'his functions to-day or to-morrow at farthest. lie is an indefatigable minister, and the country never had a more hard-working and attentive administration than the present. Indeed, DISRAELI, and PACKINGTON, and WALPOLE devote themselves to the public business with such zeal and watchfulness that the only fear we can have is that they may overstrain their energies and impair their health. But they have estab lished one great fact, to wit, that men need not be place holders and red tapeoffieials by profession, in order to be clualifierl to carry on the government of the country with honour and success. The gigantic glass house in Hyde-park, which has been so long " going, going," is at length " gone." It was knocked down—not actually, but metaphorically, or in auctioneer's phrase—fairly, on Thursday last, - and it is .new on its way bodily to Sydenham. Its end is worthy of its beginning. It was a huge money speculation at first, and it answered its purpose amazingly. It is about to be turned to another huge speculation, and it remains to be seen whether the shareholders will make a profit or " gain a loss" by the enterprise. It is a curious appli cation of the capital of a company, originally formed for 'the purpose of constructing iron ro , :ds, to invest it in a gl'rss building; but so it is. How the shareholders of the Brighton and South-Western lines will like this new spec of the directors, it is hard to say. They have not found the rails pay over well, but they have got some ' thing out of them nevertheless. Should they hear of a grand smash some fine morning, they cannot be much surprised. Those who meddle with edged tools will get cut ; and those who traffic in glass must expect to hear occasionally of disagreeable breakages. But that is their affair. To the Londoner—that is, the I'h'est•end resident —the great object is to get rid of the monster nuisance, its accompanying dust, omnibuses, and racket, and to get hack the beautiful green park to its former health creating condition. That object is gained, and so adieu — a last adieu to Sir JOSEPH PAXTON and his monster green-house. WAGNER is still dumb : the Vice-Chancellor has put a chancery padlock on her mouth, and the only key that can open it is the hand of LUMLEY. All the HOBBS'S in Westminster-hall cannot pick the lock which his honour has forged, and thus the " pretty singing bird" is rendered of no more value to any one than a common domestic silent fowl. As "no song, no supper," is the principal clause in the contract, and as the lady and her papa (who is a thoroughbred Jew) will have " the bond, the whole bond, and nothing but the bond," it follows that she must either sing for LUMLEY, at her Majesty's Theatre, and sack the money she agreed to accept, or take herself off. The German bird who can sing, and yet who won't sing, cannot be made to sing; but she may be made to know that there is something in England besides money—and that is a love for honesty and fair dealing. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT. YESTERDAY. OPEN-AIR PREACHING.—A fellow, named Mackenzie, who is known to the police as a disorderly character, was charged by constable 456 with the following offence : The policeman stated that on the previous evening, a young man was preaching to a number of persons congre gated on the vacant ground at the west side the Prince's Dock, when the prisoner wilfully interrupted the discourse by his disorderly conduct. A gentleman drew the officer's attention to the man's conduct., and he attempted to take him into custody, when he resisted, and struck the officer.—Mr. Mansfield fined the man ss. for being drunk. SAVE ME FROM MY FRIENDS.—John Macready, a man of respectable exterior, was charged by a person named William Vaughan, with having stolen £3 ss. The latter met Macready in Lime-street, on Friday, and after shaking hands with him, it was proposed they should have a friendly glass together. Macready said he had no money, upon which his friend offered to pay. He went to seve ral public houses,and finally to one at the corner of Greek street, and Copperas-hill, where Vaughan fell asleep, and when he awoke he found belied been robbed of his money, and that his friend had very unceremoniously left him. It was alleged that the latter, before leaving the house, was observed to have his hand full of silver. The case was remanded to this day for the evidence of Mrs. Davies, the landlady. CAUTION TO PANNBROKERS. — Ann Banes was brought up under the following circumstances :—On Saturday last, Mr. Byford, pawnbroker, Dale-street, gave a man into the custody of constable 650, for offering a watch in pledge at his shop, in reference to which police notices had been issued so long ago as December. The man, whose name is Peter Buller, satisfied the police that his wife had bought a duplicate of the watch some time since, when it was pledged at Mr. Perry's, Brownlow-hill, from a woman named Barnes, who was taken into custody on the charge of having stolen the watch. A man of respectable appearance, who resides in Manchester, stated that on the evening of the 26th of December last, as he was passing down Lord-street, a female came up and threw her arm round him. He disengaged himself. and immediately after missed his watch, a muffler, and a silk handkerchief. A bill was issued by the police on the following day, describing the watch, a copy of which was served en every pawnbroker. Notwithstanding this notice, the watch had been pledged at Mr. Perry's ; but he was unable to identify the prisoner or the watch, as, he said, the transaction had occurred so long ago. It was released on the 21st of February by Buller. Mr. Mansfield in quired why the watch had not been stopped after the cir culation of tha police notice. The pawnbroker did not appear to be furnished with any good reason on this point, and Mr. Jameson, the magistrates' clerk, doubted whether he was not liable to an indictment. The case was remanded to this day for the production of one of the pawnbroker's books. James Owens, John Hardy, John Parkinson, James Anderson, and Margaret Cassles. were brought up in the Nisi Prius Court, before Mr. Smith, on the charge of having broken into the premises of William Jones, and stolen therefrom a number of pairs of boots and shoes. The complainant is deaf and dumb, and gets his living by keeping a small boot and shoeshop in Great Howard• street. On Friday night, the shop was entered from the roof, and a great part of the stock carried off. Some of the prisoners had been seen loitering about the shop on the previous day. Marks, a detective officer, accompanied by 717, went to a house in a court in Adlington-street, on Saturday, where all the prisoners were assembled, and a great portion of their spoil. Some of the goods were found at Mr Healing's, pawnbroker, Scotland-place. —Mr. Wybergh examined these articles and pointed out to the magistrate that the name of Jones, the maker, was marked inside. The magistrate wished to know from the person who attended for Mr. Healing, why some notice had not been taken of this when the goods were pledged. The reply was that they were much pressed with business at the time. It was the opinion of the magistrates' clerk that the only effectual way of putting a stop to this venal system would be by indicting all pawnbrokers who may risk the consequences of receiving pledges under such circumstances. All the persons were committed for trial. STEALING A WATCH.—Margaret Robinson, a married woman, was committed to prison for two months, for rob bing a sailor, named King, of a watch, in Norfolk-street. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.— Mexancler Scott, a porter in the employment of Mr. Howell, of the White Bear, Dale-street, was remanded on the charge of stealing a small quantity of wine from his master. ROBBERY BY A LODGER.—Elizabeth Keane was re manded to Wednesday, for stealing a counterpane, a can dlestick, and other articles, from her lodgings in Elliott street. SMUGGLING.—A man named Francis was fined 10s. for smuggling lloz. of foreign manufaetured tobacco. The tobacco was found in his stockings, on board the Scotland, from Mobile. CAUTION TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS.—A respect able female named Kilfoyle, who keeps a lodging-house in Dale-street, charged a man named William Fox with having stolen a work-box containing a gold wedding ring. The prisoner had lodged at the house two or three nights. On Saturday evening about half-past seven o'clock he came home, and soon after, under the pretence of requiring to wash his hands, he went up stairs. In a few minutes from that time he came down and left the house, when the work-box was missed. Tile inquiry was remanded to this day to afford an opportunity to the police of discover ing the stolen box. ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT.—John Welsh, a respect ably-dressed young man, recently in the service of Mr. Richmond, woollen draper, of Paradise-street, was brought up charged with having received £1 18 s . 61., th e money of his employer. Mr. Stubbs, a person in the same es tablishment, deposed to having sent Welsh, on Tuesday last, to the house of Mr. Ashgrove in Bevington bill, with a pair of trousers and a vest ; having authority to receive the payment. The amount, £1 18s. 61., was paid, and Walsh absented himself with it. When asked for his de fence, he said that he was so drunk on the day in q u e sti on that he was not in a condition to be responsible for his actions. Since the occurrence he had been in treaty with Mr. Richmond to make up the sum by weekly in stalments. Mr. Mansfield adjourned the case to this day, when Mr. Richmond will be in attendance. CAUTION TO SHIPPERS OF MERCHANDISE BY MEN• OF-WAR.—It will be remembered that when the unfor tunate Birkenhead left Portsmouth, a large quantity of Wines Wa s shipped on board of her. These wines were duly insured as far as the Cape of Good Hope ; but as only a portion was l an d e d at Si mon ' s Bav, the remainder being lost in the vessel, we understand - that the under write at Lloyd's have refused to pay the amount, stating, as their reasons for so doing, th a t th e voyage was com pleted on the arrival of the vessel either in Table Bay or Simon's Bay, and that there was no clause in the policy by which the Birkenhead was allo we d t o procee d on a sk might be inctirred. f r esh trip, by which an additumm COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. OUR past predictions as to the continued influx of the precious metals, and the effect produced upon prices of all commodities, are being fulfilled to the letter. The accession to the bullion in the Bank of England for this week's return is £329,637, making, with the previous amount held, £20,231,037 ; and from the recent large arrivals in the United States from the Californian mines, it is tolerably certain that, so soon as the shipments of Cotton fall off, which they will shortly, we shall see that amount largely augmented. With this prospect in view, it is being seriously mooted by the monied world, and especially by the holders of Bank of England shares, what is to he done with the accumulations now lying unemployed. The commercial world are evidently unable, or indisposed to take them, even at .the present low rates of discount, from the fact that the issue of notes fails to keep pace with the increase of their basis. We observe that it is sng- Bested by a well-informed contemporary that the bank should extend its loans for long periods to railway companies, and on such securities as the Liverpool docks. The borrowers, if this course were to be pursued, would certainly be benefited to the extent of the interest saved; hut the fact seems to be lost sight of that for every such invest ment a corresponding amount of money would be released, which would shortly find its way again into the bank or the discount market, leaving the main evil complained of unredressed. The only real source of relief is the employment of the sur plus money of the bank, and the commercial world creating additional capital by the formation of new and reproductive works. Its absorption by mere speculation is an unhealthy and dangerOus process, and is not practicable to any material extent. The surplus can only be absorbed by an extended domestic circulation, caused by letting loose the springs of the national industry. If such steps as this be not adopted, we shall shortly see our mone tary abundance employed, as in 1825, in foreign investments, ultimately to become the source of disastrous losses. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the Bth of May gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Public deposits £3,526,451 ; Increase £331,634 Other deposits .. 14,130,767; Decrease 235,153 Rest .. .. 3,124.968; Increase 22,931 On the other side of the account— Government securities £13,333,023 ; the same as before. Other securities.. .. 10,888,495 ; Decrease 133,837 Notes unemployed .. 11,837,015; Increase 301,400 The amount of notes in circulation is £21,845,115, being an increase of £12,955 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £20,231,037, show ing an increase of £329,637 when compared with the precedin return. Business in our SHARE-MARKET has again been on a morelimited scale than in former weeks for some time back, and the market has presented no new feature. Until Saturday, the fluctuation of prices was not considerable, the tendency having been slightly downwards. On that day, the dealers, em boldened by the comparative absence of real busi ness, attempted " a bang," in which they were successful to the extent of 15- to 1 per cent all round. The abundance of money, however, soon came to the rescue, and the market closed generally firmer.. This has been maintained throughout this day, (Monday,) and we close this evening with a de cidedly improving appearance. We annex the quotations of the day. Aberdeen, 134; Birken head Lancashire and Cheshire, 101 d; Caledonian, 19 183'•; Eastern Counties, 9 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 72 1.11. • London and North-western new I-shares, 51p; Midland, 693 34 ; Ditto, new pref. 41 per cent., par; North Staffordshire, ; South-eastern ad Dover, 211 ; Warrington and Altrincham Junction, 3d; York and North Midland, 241 ; Dutch Rhenish, 31d. PRODUCE.-In our Colonial markets there has scarcely been the same firmness ; and sugar, par ticularly West India, has been dificult of sale at previous prices. There is an opinion abroad, that with the large consumption of .produce generally, and the cheapness of money, prices are more likely to further advance than retrograde. In cluding Saturday and Friday's sales of Sugar, we have to report 125 hhds. Barbadoes, at 325. 6d. up to 415. for Vacuum Pan, and 700 bags Benares, at 345. 6d. to 375. per cwt. There has been a con siderable demand for Brazil, on speculation. The sales reported are 700 bags yellow Pernams and Paraiba, at 18s.; 4,600 bags Pernams, afloat, at 17s. with 1800 bags landed, at 18s.; and a cargo half white and half brown Paraiba afloat, deliverable in the Mediterranean, at 235. 6d. for the former, and 16s. 6d. for the latter. No sales have taken place since Thursday in Coffee or Rum. The price of Tea continues steady, and the demand good. The advices per the Over land Mail this morning showing a falling off in the exports, is calculated to strengthen the market. A, public sale of Jamaica Coffee took place on Fri day, when 75 tierces sold at 465. to 525. for good to fine ordinary, and some fine Mountain at 120 s. Rice is in good inquiry. Sales of 800 bags Bengal are reported at Ios. for middling new, and 9s. 9s. to 10s. for old ; also 160 tierces Carolina at 17s. 6d. to ISs. per cwt. At auction, to-day, 750 bags Saltpetre realised 295. 6d. to 30s. for 1? per cent. refraction, and 250 bags by private 28s. for 6 per cent. Of Logwood, the only trans actions noted are 20 tons Jamaica. at £3. 7s. 6d.; 20 tons Campeachy, at f:6 per ton ; besides 150 tons Honduras, at prices which have not transpired. We have also to report 20 packages of Manilla Mother-of-Pearl Shells, at £B5 to £9O; 50 bags Sago Flour, at 15s. per cwt. ; and 20 cases Castor Oil, at 4d. per lb. COTTON.-There has been great animation in our cotton market, and the sates of the week up to Thursday night, amount to 111,900 bales, at a further advance of an eighth per lb. The weekly consumption is unprecedently large-some 36,000 bales-and with peace abroad and plenty at home, there is every prospect of its continuing. Indeed, if the consumption be not checked by a material advance in prices we should not be surprised to see it further increased. By the Asia steamer, which vessel arrived late on Saturday, there is little news. The receipts were 75,000 bales for the week and the shipments were large, but prices had further ad vanced at New York. Much disappointment is felt here at the non-execution of orders, limits being far too low to admit of a possibility of their being executed. Sales on Friday 12,000 bales : Saturday 20,000, and to-day 10,000 to 12,000, at very full prices. An upward tendency has been imparted to the Wool. market by the anticipated falling off in the supply from Australia, caused by the abstraction of labourers from sheep tending to the gold diggings. This will perhaps not be severely felt during the present year ; but, should the state of things con tinue, the effect upon our woollen manufactories, and especially upon the finer branches, for which Australian is now almost exclusively used, it must be very serious. The following is the monthly circular of Messrs. Abram Gartside and Co., of Liverpool, dated 14th inst. :-" To-day's public sales consisted of 608 bales South Australia wool, ex Alert, and 320 bales Entre Rios from Monte Video. There was a large attendance of buyers, many of whom were able to have purchased the whole that was offered, and great spirit was shown ; with this competition, increased by the apprehended scarcity from Australia, it is not surprising that prices of Colonial ranged 11d. per lb. higher than the February sales. Some parcels of fine Adelaide fleece and lamb, in first-rate condi tion, realised 190. to 20d. ; fair quality in the usual middling condition averaged 18d.; low fleece, 16d.: unwashed, 9d. to 101 d., averaging 91d. The Entre Rios Wool attracted considerable notice, as the breed and condition shewed a decided improve ment upon the usur.l imports from the River Plate. A part was sold at 101 d to 19id, and the remainder of the finer kinds were withdrawn at 15d to 21d for clean Merino Flocks. SHOCKING CHILD MURDER.—BRIDPORT.—A most sho, king case of child murder has just been committed in this town by a woman who gave her name as Eliza Welborn. The child was born on Wednesday last, and was a fine healthy child, and, from the evidence of the midwife, as promising a child as was ever born. The inhuman mother, however, on being left alone, poured a large quantity of oil of vitrol down the throat of the child, and threw the bottle, which contained.the remaining portion of the liquid, out of the window. The midwife instantly detected that vitrol had been given to the child, and it died in a very short time after.—Sherborne Journal. "THE WRECK, " BY THE LATE J. H. TURNER, R.A. —The subject of the above masterpiece of its celebrated author, now on view at Mr. Grundy's, Church-street, is the wreck of the Minotaur, a 74-gun ship, which occurred in December, 1810. In returning from the Baltic with a convoy, the Minotaur ran upon the Halk Sands, off the Texel, and was totally lost, with her commander, Captain John Barrett, and 400 hands, 110 officers and men being humanely rescued by the Dutch. The picture was painted expressly for the late Lord Yarborough soon after the melancholy occurrence. In order to execute his commis sion faithfully, Mr. Turner procured a graphic description from one of the survivors, his own fertile imagination sup plying the details and incidents. The picture is full of vigour and of the painter's vivid colouring, and is acknowledged to be one of the finest of his many noble productions. We would strongly urge every connoisseur to seize the opportunity of paying a visit to Mr. Grundy's. gallery. MEETINGS OF THE CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY. The Morning Meeting, held yesterday, will be found reported in our sixth page. THE EVENING MEETING, held at the Collegiate Institution last night, was presided over by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the diocese. It was most numerously and respectably attended, every corner of the theatre being crowded. Amongst the gentlemen present, besides those noticed at the morning meetings, we observed :—the Revs. A. Knox, C. J. Hamilton, Blakeney, of Birkenhead, H. P. Blakeney, Claughton, W. M. Falloon, Wm. Hall, Esq., Adam Hodgson, Esq., P. F. Currie, Esq., &c., &e. His Lordship, on taking the chair, called upon the Rev. H. Carpenter to offer up prayer. The BISHOP, in opening the proceedings, before calling upon the secretary to invite the various gentlemen on the platform to commence their addresses, wished to testify his interest in the objects of the society, by expressing the heartfelt pleasure he experienced in meeting them all once again in support of the Church Missionary Society, and in seeing so large and influential an assemblage. Since they had the pleasure of meeting at the last anniversary, there had been some very praiseworthy proceedings in Liverpool, for the purpose of promoting christian know ledge at home, among the poor of Liverpool itself. (Hear, hear.) For instance, there had been a plan formed to provide a larger number of scripture readers to carry religious instruction to those who had not yet, in some cases it might be, the inclination, and in others, probably, who had not the opportunity of seek ing it for themselves within the walls of the church (Hear, hear.) Again, there had been a new Effort made hero to produce a larger amount of subscriptions for the employment of additional curates in the populous districts in the town, and to affo;d a more effeetive pastoral super ' intendence to the inhabitants within those districts. (Hear.) Having briefly referred in prop" of the Home Mission, which is being carried on here ; to the recent laying of the foundation stone of a new church at Everton ; ' and to the proposed erection of schools in connection with St. Augustine's Church, the first stone of which he as sists in laying to-day (Tuesday), his Lordship said he rejoiced in these operations, and he rejoiced also to see that they did not. interfere with their zeal and exertions in the cause of foreign missions. This was—just what it should be—the true index of a real Christian charity and love ; for it was the nature of Christian love to be expan sive, and to gather strength as it expanded : it was like a goodly tree, planted by the water-side, that strikes its roots deeper and more firmly into its native soil, at the same time that it noints its branches higher and higher, bearing richer, fairer, and more abundant fruits. (Applause.) On this occasion, the object of which always secured at Liverpool both a large audience and eloquent advocates, they had the honour of receiving this evening a deputation from the Parent Society in London: they were favoured with the presence of one gentleman, the Rev. Daniel 'Wilson, vicar of Islington, and the res pected son of a respected and revered father—the Venerable Bishop of Calcutta whose name would ever be eminent in the history of the Church; and whose memory ought ever to be dear to England and India. (Cheers.) The venerable bishop bad been per mitted, by the gracious providence of God, to reach en age which few Englishmen going from this coun try to the burning clime of India attain ; and had, in his advanced age, to teach the Word of God in the simplicity of Christian truth, and with the zeal of evangelical piety. Might God grant that his course of usefulness might be long prolonged, and that he might continua shining brighter and brighter unto perfect day. His son was imitating his example in all things, and treading in his steps, raising his voice in sur,port of that cause of missionary exertion which was always dear to his father.' (Loud cheers.) They were favoured also, with him, with the presence of the Rev. Mr. Marsden, of Birmingham, a gentleman probably well known by name, both as a faithful minister of the Church of England, and as a well-wisher of this society, and also as an author, having lately made a very valuable addition to the histotical literature of our Church. (Cheers. ) He saw also around him other gentlemen. He saw from the neighbouring diocese the Rev. Hugh Stowell, (applause, which was several times renewed,) and he saw on his left hand, their own revered friend. Dr. M`Neile, (vehement cheering,) of whom it would be impertinent to say anything, further than that lie had great pleasure to see him on the platform. (Renewed cheering.) lie had also the pleasure of seeing the Chancellor of the Diocese, who had grown grey in the service of his Master in this and in every good work—who had been for years a benefactor to this society; and by his piety, his example, his talent, and his purse, given it all the aid in his power. Having referred to time falling off in the amount subscribed to the society's funds by Liverpool, and attributed it to other objects of christian charity and benevolent objects of a local nature pressing upon them, and not to any dimi nution in their desire to promote the objects of the society, his lordship concluded by stating that Mr. Governor Gregory, of Bahama, had just arrived in Liverpool, but his interest in the missionary cause had induced him to forego the necessary rest which he required after his voyage, in order to be present at the meeting, for the purpose of hearing the statements which would be brought before it. (Applause.) The Rev. 11. R AIKES, Chancellor of the Diocese, pro. posed the first resolution, and, after a few prefatory remarks, proceeded to set forth with much ability the difficulty attending missionary labour, as contrasted with the efforts of Christian ministers at home. He then noticed the state of India, and the superstitions of that country. It was fearful to think what Biroodism was. Just, after Pythagoras had finished the circulation of his system in the cities of the Grecian republics, there sprung up in India and China, Bhooda and Confuscius, who spread abroad in India and China their gross systems of morals, systems which rendered the implantation of the Gospel still more difficult. In Bhoodism there was something mild and attractive, but still it taught man to regard himself as a being without a soul, and then left him without the means by which a better light would enlighten his con science. Nothing less than the power of God would overcome the difficulties of converting such a people. Did they look for miracles in those days, surely no greater miracle need be locked for than the conversion of such people, yet such miracles they heard of almost daily. Such, however, was the difficulty attending Mis sionary labour, that if, in answer to the prayers of the friends of the society', it was not for the help of the Spirit of God, vain would be all our efforts. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. D. WILSON, on rising to second the motion, was received with loud cheers. The friends of the Church Missionary Society had two objects in view, one to exhort one another to love and good works, and the other was to afford encouragement by a statement of what the society had done. The rev. gentleman then proceeded to notice the operations of the society in India, and illustrated this part of his speechwith most interesting extracts of letters be had received from his venerable father, the Bishop of Calcutta. When Dr. Buchanan came over from India, in 1799, to London, he met a few clergymen in an upper room, and there laid open his plans for the evangelisation of India. The good old Simeon was present, and with that quaintness for which he was distinguished said,— " What shall we do ? 'When shall we do it ? How shall we do it ? (Loud cheers.) What shall we do ? Raise funds to support missionaries. 'When shall we do it ? Now. How shall we do it ? By send ing catechists to India." The reverend gentleman then proceeded to show how, by means of Wilberforce, Gambier, and others, the restrictions contained in the charter of the East India Company to restrict the preach ing of the Gospel haul been removed in the year 1813, and how missionary efforts prospered since that period. He then described the horrible system of Thuggism, the degrading mode of sacrificing children as offerings by the priests, to render the land fruitful by sprinkling their blood over it, and the horrible nature of the worship of Juggernaut. To the latter about 150,000 pilgrimages were made every year, of whom about 50,000 perished by hunger or sickness. It was, however, a gratifying fact that now the British government had disconnected itself from that system. There had not been less than 100,000 people in India alone reclaimed from heathenism by means of the society, and was that a time for Liverpool to relax' in its efforts ? They brought before them 600,000,000 of people ignorant of God, and for every six square miles of earth, one was under the sway of Eng land, and ought they not to increase their efforts. All this had been accomplished by means of the Bible, for it was since the reformation that it had been ob tained. Popish England had not one colony. Every one of her 62 colonies had been obtained since she threw off the shackles of Popery. (Applause.) God had entrusted to England the highest empire the world ever saw, and why should not England rise to the sublimest of her privileges in promoting the spread of the Gospel throughout the whole surface of the globe. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously, after which a collection was made, and a hymn was sung. The Rev. Canon HUGH STOWELL, in moving the resolution calling for renewed exertions in the cause of the society, said the greatest testimony was borne by their enemies to the usefulness and efficiency of the Church Missionary Society, in the fact, that at a recent meeting of Brahmins in Calcutta, the question was dis cussed as to what were the best means of stopping the flood of Christian principles which was threat ening to overrun India. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) This was an evidence of the truthfulness and perseverance with which the doctrines of the Church of England were extended to foreign lands. Still they could not but tremble at the position which England occupied. This little rock, so small, that many no larger were not mentioned on the maps, ruled one-sixth of the space, and one-seventh of the population of the globe; and, what was far nobler, it was at this moment the great citadel of civil and religious freedom, and the defender of the word of God in its integrity ; and it was on this account that Rome was spending all her efforts in en. deavouring to break up that which she could not break down. (Applause.) If a quantity of gunpowder were placed round a rock, and it were then set on fire, it would not have effect upon it to its destruction ; but if a hole were bored and powder placed in it, and if it were fired, it would split the rock to atoms; (hear, hear,) and that was the reason a hole had been made in their Protestant fold, and a quantity of jesuitical powder of tractarian priestcraft put into it. (Vehement and long continued applause.) Because Rome found that she must decide in order to conquer, she was endeavouring to break up the mass of rock which she could never hope to overcome from without. (Applause.) But the friends of the Missionary Society would always present a firm front in opposition to these endeavours. Having shown:that the Church • Missionary Society was a true exponent of the principles of the Church of England, and she had done much to extend its influence in foreign lands, instancing the bishopric about to be founded at Sierra Leone, and the bishopric of New Zealand, and referred to the melancholy fate of Captain Gardiner, as setting forth the necessity of forethought and judgment being combined with missionary zeal, and the im portance of the united efforts of the society, he concluded by exhorting the merchants of Liverpool to a inure extended support of the funds of the society. The Rev. J. B. MARSDEN seconded the motion, and in doing so said he stood between two fires as it were — one they had just heard, and, if he was not mistaken, another would follow. How, then, could he be tolerated, who had nothing to bring before them but dry details of figures ? Every Englishman liked to know what he paid his money for; and, therefore, he had to come before them in some measure as a sort of Chancellor of the Ex: chequer, and he wished he had the same powers—he did not mean as a novelist, nor as a politician, for the society bad nothing to do with party politics ; but every member of the House of Commons to whom be had spoken, said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made a dry detail of figures one of the most interesting speeches ever delivered in Parliament. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) It was a most pleasing circumstance that the income of the society for the past year was the largest it had ever yet had, being no less than £llB,OOO. The society originated with the present century. It was now in its fifty-third year, yet at the close of the last century so dead was the Church of England to rnissienary effort, that, although the sum of £1,400 was subscribed during the first year, not one single clergyman of the Church of England could I.e found who was willing to go forth as a missionary to the heathen. The second year £3.090 was raised with no better success, and it was not until the third year that two German Lutherans were sent forth. Let it not he forgotten that the first missionaries sent out by the Church Missionary Society were Germans, not members of our own church. This was very humili ating to reflect upon ; but it was gratifying now to be able to state, that there were at present no less than one hundred and thirty-nine ordained ministers of God engaged in preaching to the heathen the unsearchahle riches of the Gos; el of Jesus and in India there were no less than twenty-one native missionaries. (Loud cheers.) The reverend gentleman, after professing the highest respect for all kindred societies, concluded with an appeal to the meeting to support that society, and by reference to the gratifying fact of a bishop being about to be ordained for Sierra Leone, whose income was to be supported entirely by native contributions. (Cheers.) The Rev. Dr. MhNaina, in rising to second the motion, was most warmly applauded. Having referred to the increased resources of the society, to the gratifying coincidence of increased funds, and to the deplorable fact that in Scinde, although it had been in the possession of England twelve years, there was not yet a church at which the British soldiers end civilians employed in the civil service could worship the God of their fathers, he asked to what part of the world they should look for young men of education, who would prefer the souls of the heathen to the enjoyments and glittering distinctions of English society? Where, but to England, where alone they could expect to find such men ; where the Bible was freely circulated, where the Gospel was freely preached, and where no hindrance, as yet, by men had been able to interfere with the foundation of the Word of God.- (Cheers.) In other lands, the iron hand of despotism was extended by the emissaries of Rome to grasp the Bible and expel the missionary from them. In Austria, and other parts of the Continent, restrictions were laid upon the circulation of the Bible ; all the Bibles connected - with the Foreign Bible Society had been put under arrest in Austria ; and the at tempt had been made at home—Bibles had been burnt in Ireland, and he had been informed one had been burnt in Birmingham. [The Rev. S. B. Marsden : It is true : it was in my own parish.] (Shame.) These were the symptoms of what might beexpecten, were Rome in power here. If she were to become dominant, fare well to all their labour ; farewell to the fountains from which the missionary streams must spring. (Applause.) Yet, what could be more marvellous than the hypocrisy with which Rome claimed the support of Englishmen with the plea of religious liberty, and a freely-circulated Bible. (Hear, hear.) They had the audacity to put for ward as their plea, and to endeavour to put them (the Protestants) in the position of persecutors; and, forsooth, they said to the Liberals here, " we are the persecuted party." (Laughter.) On this ground they were appeal ing at this moment in this country, aye, and in this town, for support from the Liberals, whom they were beguiling by this fictitious hypocritical cant. (Cheers.) If this were yielded to, if men who were pledged as faithful ser vants of Christ and his Gospel, did not make head against the pretensions of Rome, but listened to misrepresentations so as to divide their strength, and tocause sound practical measures to be impracticable in the new Parliament, farewell to their Missionary Society and Christian enter prise. (Hear, hear.) Let them not be led astray by the hypocritical cry ; the liberty Rome would give was briefly described in quotations. "'When heretics are strong, we commit them to God ; when they are weak, to the executioner." (Vehement cheering.) After alluding, as a fair specimen of the spirit of popery, to the assassins behind the hedges in Ireland, against whose bullets no arguments were effective, he said, there was but one cause really worth struggling for. It was the cause for which faithful confessors in every age had been content to suffer martyrdom under Jewish, and Paean, and Papal superstition—it was to carry to all man kind, of every clime and every colour, those glad tidings which angels delight to sing, and saints de light to hear—to aid by every means in their power the accomplishment of the number of God's elect, and to hasten the Messiah's kingdom. (Hear, hear.) Who would not engage in so glorious a work; who would not glory in the privilege of being allowed to put his hand to so noble an Effort ? (Cheers.) The rev. doctor, after alluding to the difficulties with which missionary efforts had to contend, and warning - the meeting against sup posing that all the world would !be converted before the second appearance of our Saviour, concluded with a powerful appeal to further exertion. He resumed his seat amid loud cheers. The resolution was adopted unanimously ; and after thanks had been voted to his Lordship, who delivered the apostolic benediction, the immense- assemblage separated at ten minutes past ten o'clock.

The building was in flames in a moment, but a good sup ply of water, engines, and men, stopped the progress of the fire by ten o'clock. Damage about £7OO. HOUSE OF LORDS.—ArovnAy. The Duke of ARGYLE drew attention to the case of an English subject, named Murray, who was reported to have been confined in a prison at Rome for several years without a trial, and now lying under sentence of death ; and asked for further information upon the case. The Earl of MALMESBURY said great difficulty had been experienced in obtaining information upon the sub ject, in consequence of our defective diplomatic relations with the Court of Rome; but that Government were at present engaged in inquiring into the matter. In reply to another question, The Earl of MALMESBURY said he would lay upon the table the correspondence which had taken place with respect to the late expulsion of Protestant missionaries from the Austrian territories, as soon as that correspon dence was completed. The Colonial Bishops Bill, the Stock in Trades Bill, and the Highway Rates Bill, were severally read a third time. The Earl of HAnnowny moved for a return of vessels, with the number of emigrants, which have sailed from British ports for South Australia since September, 1851, and for the previous five years severally. After remarks from Lord Desart, Earl Grey, the Duke of Argyle, and other noble lords, the motion was agreed to. The Jurisdiction Bill and Protestant Dissenters Bill were read a second time ; the New Zealand Bill went through committee ; and the Repayment of Advances (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter before seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. Mr. Jones took the oaths and his seat for Carmarthen, in place of Mr. Trevor, who has succeeded to the peerage. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that, owing to the state of public business, and the advanced period of the session, he did not intend to bring on the motion which stood upon the paper for to-morrow (Tuesday), respecting oaths to be taken by members of that house. The CHANCELLOR OF TOE EXCHEQUER said, that in reference to the motion of Mr. Horsman, concerning the institution of the Rev. Mr. Bennett to the vicarage of Frome, he had made inquiry from the law officers of the Crown. Their report was, that the Queen had not means of instituting an efficient inquiry by means of a com. mission, but it was competent for the parishioners to appeal either to the Bishop of the diocese in which the offences were committed, or to the Bishop of the diocese in which the alleged offender held preferment, either of which would appoint a commission of inquiry ; and if a pr ima facie case were made out, it would be competent en be in deprivation reco u rse eras or suspension. had to to either of the prelates or the parishioners to demand a regular judicial inquiry, which, if guilt were proved, would d Government e a ure fo for thought that all existing legal r eme dies ought to be exhausted r measure a remedy to alleged grievances. Mr, GLADSTONZ then endeavourea to elicit from Gn- vernment an admission that the Bishop of letter Bath and aaria, Wells' had acted in perfect conformity to the spirit of the law. Mr. HonsmAN reminded the house, tha t no rune': had been suggested for offences committe d on the Conli. nent, an he uoted a Romish publication, in wbich r. Bennett's d convex ion to the Church of Rome was author; ritatively stated. He then gave notice , that to.reorro.• he would move that a select committee b e appointed le inquire into the truth of the facts he had stated w hen "4e motion was first brought forward. The house then went into committee on the Mili.P3 6, Bill. Clauses 14 and 15 were agreed to. On clau se t which provides for the Ballot being resorted to in the eren of voluntary enlistment not proving sufficient, dg wor Mr. CEIARTERIS moved= the omission of the " raised by ballot," thus annulling the compulsory Py of the measure. The amendment was supported bY .4r " Peto, Mr. Fox, Mr. Ewart, Mr. Cardwell, Sir F. BarinP ee and other hon. gentlemen, and opposed by Sir F. 1 1 - i s ger and Mr. Disraeli. Upon a division. the un,ml7, were—for the amendment, 110; against, 127; rneP ritl ' the Mr. W.
