THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE ttlicrpoot tanbarb, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1855 FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING THE shortening days and lengthening nights—the cold Winds and plashing rains, and, above all, the tradesmen's intimations, give token that that period which locks the rural districts in darkness and an icy seclusion, but which opens wide the portals of metropolitan mirth, is rapidly approaching. The Court and the courtly throng obey the influence which returns the country's life-blood to its mighty heart, and London once more reveals its myriad attractions to the thoughtless and the gay. The QUEEN herself, forsaking the enchantments of the heathy hillside and the "bosky dell," has arrived at her southern from her northern home, and, in the quiet of regal retire ment, has established her family residence at Windsor. The journey from Balmoral occupied the days of Tuesday and Wed nesday last, the intervening night being spent by the Royal travellers in HER MAJESTY'S ancient and romantic palace of Holyrood. Happily, the progress southward was effected without any of those stirring incidents or startling occur rences which marked the northward route as one more fertile in adventure than productive of delight. After leaving Edin burgh, nothing worthy of notice is reported to have occurred till the cortege reached Darlington, where a Quaker deputa tion, headed by Mr. H. PEASE, one of the plenipotentiaries from the Peace Society to the late CZAR, waited upon and presented an Address to Prince ALBERT on behalf of the Darlington Polytechnic Exhibition. This bearer of peaceful missions unfolded his present ambassadorial errand in the shape of an intimation that the "Mechanics' Institute" of Darlington, like many of its betters, is in debt, and is, more over, inclined to wipe off that burden through the charitable aid of patronage, royal, regal, or autocratic. Whether the mission was successful or not, the Court newsman does not say ; but the idea of wrapping up the begging-box in a loyal and patriotic address is now so stale a device, that its practice on the present occasion leads strongly to the surmise that the ingenuity of Darlington is exceedingly mechanical. The return of the Court to the neighbourhood of London is, of course, hailed as a joyful event by all classes, and_the arrival at the King's-cross Station of Her MAJESTY and her Royal Consort and children was watched and welcomed by a large assemblage of the people. The gross breach of that hospitality and safe asylum which the majesty of British institutions affords to all classes of poli tical exiles, by the ferocious Red Republicans, to which I re ferred last week, has called forth a storm of indignation from every corner of the British kingdoms. The indignant burst of condemnation which has everywhere greeted the knowledge of the insolent ingratitude has nowhere found more practical ut terance than in Jersey, where the easy license accorded to the press was taken advantage of ; and it was made the instru ment of publishing the scandalous rubbish. The obnoxious and pestilent matter which has been so justly and so generally condemned appeared in a democratic journal, named L' Homme, edited and owned by members of the ultra-republican party, aided by the, most violent and democratic refugees of every land, including Spaniards and Hungarians, Poles, Italians, and Frenchmen. The article chiefly complained of, although others are nearly as bad, was a letter addressed to the QUEEN of ENGLAND, and signed by three refugees, FELIX PYAT, ROUGEE, and G. JOURDAIN. The letter had been read in London at a meeting of the Comite International, et de la Comune Revolutionaire, held on the 22nd of last month; but, happily for the world, it was buried in the obscurity of that moral pest-house where it had been uttered, till it obtained the wider circle of notoriety conferred on it by publication in the demo cratic journal of Jersey. It would be difficult to conjecture anything more coarsely or grossly insulting than the air of in solent familiarity assumed by the authors of this letter. It commenced, " Madam,—ln return for the hospitality which we enjoy, under the laws of your country, permit us to address to you some useful reflections on your recentjourney." The pro ceedings of HER M4ESTY, on her late visit to France, are then re counted, the narrativebeing thicklyinterspersed withscurrilous jests. The letter goes on to ask: "What does this visit mean ? What do you really think of it ? What was your object in going to see this man ?" It next launches into a most indecent string of accusations against LOUIS NAPOLEON, whom it denounces with the most unmeasured plenitude of abuse. Having gone so far, and swelling into a climax of audacious insolence, the letter reminds HER MAJESTY that, surmounting her natural antipathies, her legitimate repugnance, her contempt, and even her horror for the EMPEROR of the FRENCH, she has placed her hand in his hand, has permitted his cheek to touch her cheek; and having said thus much, goes on to say that, in doing so, she has sacrificed her dignity as a Queen, her scruples as a woman, her pride as an aristocrat, her feelings as an Englishwoman, her rank, her race, her sex—all even to her modesty. It then makes ribald suggestions as the motives and inferences such conduct is held open to in certain localities, and among certain circles of society in Paris and elsewhere. The attack on Lours NAPOLEON is conveyed in terms as blasphemous and seditious as they are insolent and absurd. So gross an outrage on the general feelings of the country could not be permitted to pass, and it has been vigorously repudiated and denounced wherever it has been made known. In Jersey a large and influential meeting was held in the Queen's Assem bly Rooms, St. Heliers, the Constable or Mayor presiding. At this meeting, resolutions in the strongest terms condemnatory of the publication, of its spirit, and sentiment, were passed; a deputation was appointed to wait upon the Governor, request ing him to suppress the publication of the journal called L' Homme, as a paper which " not only openly preaches infi delity, the suppression of Christianity, and the propagation of Socialism, but also the destruction of all thrones, including that of the gracious Sovereign" under whose mild sway it has been unfortunately permitted to be published. In obedience to this request, and in compliance with the requirements of the law, the proprietor, the editor, and the distributor of the dangerous journal were ordered to quit the island on or before Saturday last. No subject has of late operated so completely as a means of amalgamating all classes of people, and all shades of political opinion, in the metropolis and elsewhere, as the desire to put a stop to the publications of such inflammatory and flagitious audacity. The hoax about the GLADSTONE, BRIGHT, and DISRAELI l i coalition continues still in some degree to agitate the nervous system of those who are mainly dependent on the crumbs of club gossip for political vitality. The metropolitan journals, daily and weekly, having expended their stock of surmise, and taxed their ingenuity to the utmost, in a vain attempt to ex pound the riddle, have resigned the task in despair. Probably More skilled in the unearthing of vermin than their metro politan brethren, the provincial journalists have taken up the task with vigour, and pursued it with discriminating vigilance, most of them arriving at the conclusion that there is, indeed, nothing in the affair beyond " a peace-at-any-price ruse, in which `the wish is made the father to the thought.' " The GLA.DSTONE cum BRIGHT lot find themselves so thoroughly " out at elbows" in the public estimation, that they are glad to lay hold of anything to keep their heads above water. The pretended coalition was too absurd to have ever been seriously thought of by any one. Even the discomfited GLADSTONITES, and the BRIGHT, STURGE, and PEASE rump of Russian sym pathisers must from the beginning have seen that the whole matter was a burlesque. All classes, with the exception of the two spoken of above, are united in the opinion that, how ever desirable it may be to secure peace, a truce which shall be.merely as brief as it would be hollow and illusory can never be accepted as the termination of hostilities ; but that the war must and shall be prosecuted with vigour, till the true end and object of the war—a guarantee for the safe tranquility of Europe—has been obtained. The allies, as a matter of course, are at all times ready to listen to terms of peace, so soon as these shall be propounded, and to accept them so soon as honourable and safe terms can be secured. Till these objects are fully attained, ninety-nine out of every hundred of the British people would disdain to think of peace. From thoughts of coming peace, the mind reverts at once to the conduct of the war as one of the means, or indeed the only means by which the desired blessing of European tranquillity can be brought about. Since the capture of Sebastopol, the allies have been so far relieved that they are now enabled to direct their attention and manoeuvre their forces upon different points of the enemy's position and line of operations. This fact alone renders it difficult to collect comprehensible intelli gence as to the movements of the Allied armies, or fully to understand such information as is communicated. From the scraps of news, however, with which the public is supplied, it is no difficult matter to perceive that great advantages have been already obtained over the enemy. The Allies are ob viously operating in a series of combined movements, having for their object the selection of such points of attack as will secure for them complete command of the Russian lines of communication, cutting off their supplies, and circumscribing their means of retreat as well as of defence. The information, as already said, is scanty which now reaches this country from the Crimea, but the little with which we are favoured is of such . a nature as to show that in a prolongation of the contest the Russians have little to look forward to beyond a succession of defeats. The fleet also has been so far set at liberty, that formidable squadrons of heavily-armed ships threaten the northern shores of the Euxine, and have captured Kinburn at the mouth of the Dnieper, about forty miles east of Odessa. At Kinburn, the fleet succeeded, after a sharp bombardment, in capturing the three forts, mounting seventy guns, and in taking, according to one account, 1,600, and according to another, 1,300 prisoners. The next movement of the fleet, it was anticipated, would be directed against Oczakow, on the , oppesite shore of the estuary, thus completely commanding the month of the Dnieper. Having se cured these points, Odessa presents itself invitingly to their attack. At this famous depot there are six hundred maga zines of grain, and every day it is understood is adding to the stores of corn arriving from the interior. A successful attack upon Odessa would place this vast accumulation of corn at the disposal of the Allies. Such a mark is worth aiming at with force and decision ; and once secured, the campaign of 1856 might indeed be closed with :safety, as it would with honour, to the Allied arms. Important as the advantages gained by the conquest of Sebastopol unquestionably are in an immediate military point of view, it is not in that light, probably, that those advantages are to be most clearly perceived. Exterior to the Crimea, and far removed from Sebastopol, the moral influence of the con quest of that formidable fortress begins rapidly to make itself apparent. It has already begun to act on the politics of Europe. Nearly every country on the continent begins to show a swinging round. Before the present war commenced, the ear of all Europe was abused with the delusion that as a military power Russia was impregnable. This consideration held the timid aloof from our connexion. The protracted and stubborn defence of Sebastopol gave countenance and currency to the delusive notion of Russian invincibility. The fall of that stronghold has dispelled the prestige. The German States already indicate a more friendly feeling towards the Allies ; no overt acts have as yet evinced this feeling ; such speedy declaration would seem indecent ; but every one is aware that straws thrown up indicate pretty surely how the wind sets. The Prussian journals, ever most friendly towards Russia, have changed their tone, and speak with res pect instead of with reviling of England and. France' The southern European States evince even more alacrity than those of central Europe in recognizing that Russia is vulnerable. The KING OF NAPLES has become con siderably more amenable to reason than he was prior to the Bth of last month. The affairs of Spain, too, in which a considerable amount of Russian influence was believed to mingle, have had "a change come o'er the spirit of their dream," and the denounced ESPAHTERO and O'DorrNELL are now no longer the butts of court sneers. The fall of Sebas topol appears to have so shaken the political elements of the small courts of Europe, as to insure new and altered com binations in the sympathies of those exceedingly sensitive agglomerations of political wisdom. In a remarkable manner has this been displayed in a rumour which reaches this country via Berlin, to the effect that LEOPOLD, King of Belgium, for saking the game of fast and loose, and coquetting with both parties, has donned the white robe, and assuming the palm branch is to appear in the character of mediator between the contending parties. The channel through whieh this rumour comes is open to grave suspicion. The character and ante cedents of the Belgian King render the rumour, if correct, liable to even stronger challenge. His position as a European Sovereign scarcely entitles him to the dignity of a volunteer mediator; and if he is to fall back upon the Divine assurance that "blessed is the peacemaker," his interference seems open to the objection that it has been delayed till considerably past the eleventh hour. A more serious ground of hesitation and dislike to his interference, on the part of Britain, exists in the fact that while he was, and still continues to be a pensioner on the British bounty, he has not only delayed the offer of his good offices till they cannot benefit us, but actually till the allies have gained such an advantage that the office of a medi ator is not required by them. In addition to this, he has exhibited such a neutrality on one side, that his interference must be regarded in the light of a Russian advance which would have been withheld if Russia had 'had the best of the contention. To make this plain, it is only necessary to bear in mind that the journal Le Nord, the most violent of the pro-Russian journals, has been published in his kingdom, and, if he is not belied, counte nanced by his patronage. Beyond this, it is well to keep in view that nearly every warlike weapon wielded by Russians has been of Belgium manufacture ! and yet he is our Sovereign's uncle. While those facts are patent and noto rious, what, it may be asked, is the connexion of LEOPOLD with France and Britain ? A glance at his personal history tells us that more than forty years ago he applied for, and was refused, the position—of an aide-de-camp in the French service by the first NAPOLEON. Not long after that it was his good fortune to win and secure the affections of the heiress-presumptive to the British crown, the lamented Princess CHARLOTTE, whose husband he became. Consequent upon this marriage, he was ensured a princely income, and at her death, in 1817, the widowed husband became the possessor of a pension of £30,000 per annum, paid out of the British taxes. Sixteen years after the lamented death referred to, chiefly through British influence, he became the King of Belgium, but still remained the stipendiary of Britain which he continues to be, since the time first referred' to, having for his own personal use received nearly two millions and a quarter of pounds sterling of British money. Yet this respectable potentate only had has eyes opened by the fall of Sebastopol, and gratitude impels him Ale, it seems, to save his friend, if possible. Such, howev the way of the world. Every day's experience makes men more freely acquainted with heroes who are ever strong Upon the stronger side. Mediators of this class have been familiar to the world from a period long antecedent to the " march of intellect." Among the singularities which have marked the past week's singular history, none have been more amusing or amazing than the wry faces and flaming wrath exhibited by the Times. Spoiled by success and rendered insolent by toleration, "like a tall bully" the Times has been assailing all who come in its way, if they refuse to bow the knee and worship its sublime wisdom and impeccable virtue. Every one is aware that Donnybrook Fair and its pugilistic wonders are no more; but few may have expected to see the absurd pugnacity of that great national display transferred to Printing-house-square. Every one is familiar with the "tall bully" of that exhibition, who, maddened by self-conceit and a large application of Dutch courage, used to rush through the fair trailing his tattered coat after him, challenging any one or all to tread on its skirts as a gage of desperate battle; and many will grieve to witness in the freaks of the Times a repetition of that braggadocio's bullying. Which of the two champions may be the better at the use of the cudgel, is an open question ; which is the greater adept in the shrew's vocabulary, admits of no dis cussion. It is very ludicrous as well as somewhat melan choly to behold the journalistic•JurrTEß trailing his party coloured garment through the mire, and daring any one to tread on it ; yet " to such base uses has he come at last." Last week appears to have been the Donnybrook period of the Times saturnalia, and throughout the whole week it "has kept up the spree." On Monday it stormed, at the Edinburgh Review. The venom it then spit forth might under ordinary circumstances have cleared the• stomach of an ordinary scold, as a violent thunderstorm, is understood to clear the air; but no, gathering up its metaphorical strength, it once more charges its figurative gun, and bursts it on the unhappy Radical organ of political criticism. Wednesday saw its whole armoury of invective and vituperation concen trated against its quondam friend and ci-devant valued contributor, the Rev. SinNyr GonoLparx OSBORNE, the re doubtable S. G. 0. of the Times. Tuesday was a day especi ally set apart for abuse of the Scotch in general, and of Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON in particular; Thursday and Satuntty were the days devoted to the abuse of all comers ; so that the whole week was expended in the undignified as well as un unseemly distribution of unanswered defiance and the foul mouthed exhibition of a privileged tongue. What could have led to so varied and mild a tilting match ? Jealous vanity and captious self-conceit. The unhappy reviewer, while admitting the potency of the new Jupiter's thunder, insinuated a doubt as to the invariable wisdom of its application—he went further —he ventured to suggest the danger proverbially admitted to exist in allowing fools and children to play with edge tools hence the atrabilarious grumbling and mild denunciations of the self-elected deity. Poor S. G. 0. in delivering an address to those whom the Times calls "the temperate symposiasts of Wilton," forgot to mention the surpassing virtues of the Times, and that too while he even eulogised the bravery of Russian soldiers, and, sinful man that he is, ventured to suppose that they were possessed of human feelings, and were actuated in some degree at least by human sympathies and human motives. He did more—he glanced at the hospitals at Scutari, and even incidentally alluded to Miss NIGHTINGALE, but remained cruelly and significantly silent upon the all-important subjeet of the Times—its special fund —its villent vituperation of our Generals and our military system—its erudite suggestions upon strategic tactics—and its impartial criticism upon men and things, were utterly for gotten by the remorseless S. G. 0. Flesh and blood cannot stand neglect so cruel—how could it be expected from a wind inflated god ? Last and saddest of all, Sir ARCHIBALD AxasoN, and many of his countrymen, conceiving that the victories gained in the Crimea were sufficient justification for them to meet and in mutual gratulation celebrate the gallant deeds of their gallant countrymen By the festal cities' blaze. Whilst the wine cup shines in light. Now, somehow or other, the Times has never been pleased with the Crimean victories, or Crimean conduct ; its position in that arena from first to last has been that of a grumbler, and above all things it cannot bear contradiction. At this meeting,the rank and the talent, the genius and the - patriotism of Scotland, assembled to do honour to the living and the dead, through whose dangers, daring, and death, the victories had been achieved. In his place at this banquet, Sir ARCHIBALD ALISOIT, avoiding to some extent the cosmopolitan feeling which the Times so severely castigates in its beloved S. G. 0., confined his observations and limited his panegyric to the brave deeds of his countrymen. Determined that so great a champion as Sir ARCHIBALD should tread, accidentally or otherwise, upon his soiled coat-skirts, the Donnybrook bully strikes fiercely out at what he calls the "provincialism" of the great historian, in alluding to those brave deeds which won from our gallant Allies for the men who did them the signifi cant and proud appellation of "The Wall of Iron." This was the pretence on which the Times grounded its attack, the real casus belli being, as all the world knows, the fact that Sir AILCHIBA.LD ALISON condemned the shallow criticism upon military matters which, gleaned from the gossip of the mess table, the Times compounds into hebdomadal and sometimes daily doses, and insists upon the public swallowing. The thoughtful historian, calmly surveying the events which have arisen in the Crimea, ventures to differ from the dicta deli vered with oracular pomposity by the journalist; the weight carried with the objection is too great to be overthrown—the labouring JUPITER cannot displace the load, but like THER SITES he can jabber and call foul names. At Drury-lane, CHARLES MATHEws has made a decided impression in the regular drama ; eschewing vaudeville, in which he used to occupy the largest space, if not entirely to fill the picture, he now contents himself with taking his place among his histrionic brethren, and that place he sustains, as was to be expected, well. As Mr. Mopus, in " Married for Money," he sustains the character throughout, in all its various I 1 phases, admirably. In one scene, where driven to desperation by the tyranny of his wife, he seeks consolation in the bottle, and becomes inebriated, his acting is most characteristic and admirable, reminding the elder portion of the audience of the palmy days of the stage, when CHARLES KEMBLE or Wxtra.s.st MURRAY, in the character of Cassio, showed how a gentle man could deport himself when drunk. At the Haymarket. Miss BLANCHE FAME wins her way steadily and derservedly in popular favour ; and she is well supported and played up to by Miss SWA.NBOROITGII. RELIGION AND ITS TEST.- TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Sxn,—There is oue test by which, better than by any other, the reality of our religious professions may be tried; and that test is LOVE. I speak with reference to this world, not to the next; with reference to the judgment, or rather opinion, which we form of each other, and without all reference to the final judgment of Him who cannot err. Man may err, and frequently does so, in the opinions which he forms of his fel low-men. However perfect the test which he applies, error will arise from his unskilfulness in applying it ; and, as he cannot search the heart and scan the secret motive, he may not only be led on some occasions to condemn where condem nation is undeserved, but also on others to give credit for true religious principle to those who are in fact neither more nor less than canting hypocrites. Notwithstanding all this, how ever, there are certain rules which we may safely apply in a general way ; and one of these is, that real religion will ever manifest itself by deeds of charity or love. For this we have the warrant of an inspired Apostle, of that Apostle who, more than any of his brethren, appears to have been imbued with the gentle and loving spirit of his Divine Master. That Apostle declares the man who, hating his brother, yet pro fesses to love God, to be a liar. The language is strong; polite society would pronounce it coarse, ifit occurred anywhere else but in the Bible. But coarse, or polite, it is true;; and eminently necessary for these times. Of this rule, then, this test of true religion, I would make a general application, not daring to con demn individuals, but not hesitating to assert that there must be a vast amount of sham religion somewhere. Liverpool bears the reputation, in other parts of the king dom, of a religious town. I recollect many years ago hearing it characterised by an enthusiastic young lady-, as " quite a land of Goshen." And, not only does it bear the reputation, but to a certain extent it makes profession of being so ; as witness its meetings for various religious and controver sial purposes. And yet, in spite of all this, poverty and suf fering in their various forms are very inadequately relieved. Neither the spiritual nor the temporal wants- of themaeses elicit from the professors of religion those acts of love which form the only tangible evidence of the sincerity of their pro fessions. Let me not be misunderstood. I do-not intend! to assert that none are sincere, for, so far as this test of love - is concerned, there are not a few whose religion I have every reason to believe is "pure and undefiled," and these• by no means the loudest in their professions. What Ido intend is this,—that there is more profession of religion than practice• of love; and, consequently, that there must be a large amount of insincerity somewhere: In proof of my charge- I would' point to the various charitable institutions, and especially at this moment to the Infirmary. The history of each one is a• history of struggles to keep.above water; a history of begging and dunning, of fancy-fairs and bazaars, of charity-sermons and public balls, and all the• other nineteenth-century expedients for wheedlin g people out of their money and making them believe that they are charitable: ' Many people endeavour •to • excuse themselves to their own• consciences for their neglect of the poor, by urging their liability to be imposed upon r and Is - doubt not that many a. man of kindly feelings has had those feelings hardened, by discovering the roguery whichhad suc ceeded in exciting them. Ido not say that such ought to be. the result; and I am quite sure that - where true religion exerts its influence, it will not.. The discovery of imposition will; make the charitable man more careful, but will not convert his lore- towards the brethren, into indifference. However,. I have chosen to speak of the public institutions of the town ; . because this excuse cannot be urged for neglecting to support them. Even these may be abused, but the chances that they will be so• are very small. The disinclination on the part of the poor to go into a. hospital of any kind; is itself a guarantee • that they will not apply for relief unless- they need it ; to say nothing of the skill and care of those under whose manage ment they are placed- And yet, in Liverpool, such an imstitu , t ion as. the Infirmary is allowed.torun.into debt, and languish. -for want of funds : and I mention this institution, not because it is the only one which is insufficiently supported, but, be cause it happens at this moment to be appealing to the public for relief. Times are bad; it will be-said.; and war-taxes, combined with war-prices, will not permit people to give as much as-they' could wish. A good: excuse, no doubt, in the mouth of one who has hitherto given as, much, as rigid self-denian would enable him to give: But the fact is i that few ever deny them-1, selves to give at all;_ and most of those who do give, de so of their superfluity. The reply so often received, "11 cann o t afford it,!' does not mean, .I: have it not, but, I have itr not to spare : in other words, if I give I cannot have all I want for myself, and therefore I will not give. As for the war„l know, that it costs money;. and L fear thatit will cost a vast deal more yet before it is finished; Bat what then ? It was not only commenced with the full concurrence of the peep& in all ranks, but was coaled for by them ; and, now that they have got the war which they demanded, are they to expect God •to pay for it ? Undoubtedly, they who endeavour to counter,. balance their increased expenditure by , diminishinp,:or wholly withdrawing their alms, do, so far as-in them lies, endeavour, to make Him pay for it:. And this they would perceive, if only they would recollect that the poor are His poor, and His spe cial representatives in,earth, The plain truth is, that the state of our public charitable institutions is a disgrace to the town, and gives the lie to nine-tenths of' the religious profession of which we hear so much. And if this be true, as M. heard a past Mayor of Liverpool publicly assert some time ago; that all the charities in the. town, are-supported by thirieen hundred individual, the disgrace is.much deeper than at a first glance appears.—l.ara, Sir, your's, &c„ X, Y. Z. PROPOSED, NEW CHURCH. TO 7HE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL. STANDARD. SlR,:—The laudable •effbrts you make fro= time to time to • rouse the attention of Churchmen to the state of spiritual's destitution in which so many districts of our populous town is suffered to continue, deserve the grateful acknowledgment of all earnest and, consistent members of our communion. I am anxious on the present occasion.to second your general endeavours, by pointing to one district in particulcr. where. nothing but the purest neglect can suffer the erection of a. new church to be longer delayed. I. allude to the thickly and , respectably-inhabited district around the ZoologicaZGardens, which has only one church (St. Chrysostom's) for the vast po pulation residing between St. GeorKe's, Everton, and Edge hill the great majority of whom are no. doubt Church people. The pressing want that exists of further chureh accommo dation is deinonstrated by the fact, that, (notwithstanding. XI: Caine's figures, which are as grossly , inaccurate iu.this case in that of St. John's,) the church of St.. Chrysostoni is. often inconveniently crowded—that families wishing.to engage pews therein have generally to wails some months. before they can be accommodated—and that seat-holders, though they reach the church before the service has commenced, often find their sittings occupied-by strangers. -- There is at present plenty of vacant land at the back of Wellington-terrace, West Derby-road, which would be - a cen tral and excellent situation for a new church ;_ but as building is going on rapidly in the neighbourhood, a-site should be se cured without delay. In the United States- it is the custom, when laying out a village, (from lucrative motives, if for no other,) to mark out a site, and often erect a small place of worship, before any other buildings are put up. Oh, that such a custom, with a purer motive, existed in England. To raise a church in the locality I have indicated ought, it seems to me, to require no other movement than the forma tion of a committee to collect subscriptions in the district and superintend the erection. I cannot suppose (hard times though they be) thatthere could be anygreat difficultyin raising a sufficient sum in so respectable a neighbourhood.—l am, Sir, yours, respectfully, VOX. West Derby-road, 20th Oct., 1855. WHAT OUGHT THE DIRECTORS OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND TO DO ? TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Stu,—We are fast approaching another money crisis ; and, if the government do not interfere, no man can tell the result. The drain of bullion goes steadily on week by week ; and the Bank of England goes steadily on raising the rate of dis. counts. Where is this to stop ? Is the commercial body of this country to be laid prostrate, because the Emperor of Russia (and the Emperor of France, in self-defence) is bent upon drawing every sovereign from us he can obtain by direct or indirect means ? He well knows his strength by so doing, and our weakness. It is not a question with either him or the Emperor of France of expense ; they must have and will have it, so long as we adhere to our present monetary laws. In other panics it was a matter of over-trading, an d consequent inflated prices of Produce and Manufactures. Now it is nothing of the kind—Commerce is unusually sound. It is a mere question of putting a stop to the export of gold. And this is the question—what will put a stop to it ? No doubt there may be an d is considerable difference of opinion on this point ; but in my humble opinion it is not a question of 8, 10, or 12 per cent. which will stop it. It is a political necessity both with the Emperors of Russia and France to possess it, and the drain will continue, and most likely increase. Is the commercial body of this country to stand quietly by, and be mulcted and panic-stricken by the Jews and Bullionists, who are gloating over their harvest, when a stroke of the pen or an order in Council would obviate the whole difficulty? The directors of the Bank of England must wait upon the Government and insist upon cash-payments being suspended for a time,—it may be so long as the war lasts. We live in extraordinary times, and extraordinary means must be resorted to. Having arrived at this point,let them issue 10 or 15 millions of one-pound. notes, and the commerce and industry of the country will go on independent of any imaginary value of gold. A mere suspen sion of Peel's Bank Bill of 1844 will not meet the case. To keep the bullion in the country, the Bank of England ought to suspend making cash-payments. Should the Bank of France still require four or five millions, then we could lend it to them without any disastrous consequences resulting.—Your obedient Servant, FREE TRADER-IN-MONEY. SANITARY CONDITION OF GREAT CROSBY AND LITHERLAND. A REPORT to the General Board of Health, on the sewerage and other sanitary matters connected with the townships of Great Crosby and Litherland, has been presented by Mr. R. Rawlinson, C.E., and has just been published. As is usual with the reports of this gentleman, he commences by a pains taking statement of all the preliminary matters connected with the townships in question which can be supposed to exercise any important influence on the general salubrity of the dis trict. After discussing the geological formations on which the townships are situated, and glancing with the eye of an en gineering artist on the topography of the locality, he proceeds to investigate the effect of these natural peculiarities on the district. Having thus arranged an a priori view of the case, his subsequent attention is directed to ascertain how far those natural peculiarities are favourable to the sanitary condition of the various places contained in the townships, and he next en deavours to show how far the natural facilities have been taken advantage of; and, lastly, he adduces his own views as to what can and ought to be accomplished, and lays down proposals by which he considers those views are most likely to be suc cessfully carried out. In the commencement of his report, Mr Rawlinson shows that, from the flat surface and low level of the land adjoining the Mersey, considerable change is continually going on in the neighbourhood of the coast, chiefly occasioned by the action of the waters of the river as these are operated on by tides and storms. Among the topographical, geological, statistical, and meteor ological data adduced by Mr. Rawlinson, we learn that — "There are no local acts in force• for any of the purposes contemplated by the Public Health Act, in either Litherland or Great Crosby, but as he shows— " The Liverpool Gas Works Company, under their local act, may extend their mains into and over the townships-, and they have to some extent done so. But therris no general; public lighting by gas, although it has become a necessity. " There is no local supply of water but that obtained from open wells and pumps, or rain-water. Many of the wells are shallow ; and, as cesspool's' are sunk in the same sub-soil, near to. the wells in many instances, contamination takes place: The. cost of a supply of water obtained from wells, pumps, and rein-water tanks o r c i s t er n s, i s cons id era bF e. A we ll a nd pump, it is stated, may, in many cases, cost £2O, and 10s. per annum for repairs. Rain-water cisterns cost in proportion to , their size, and this may be from 10s., the cottager's tub, to £100;-the cost of slate, lead, or cement-lined cisterns in larger' houses. Pump-water must be carried, and this adde materially to its price r. even to the poor. Water may be supplied to a local boardan bulk, by any company, at a much less cost than individuals can obtain it ; or a Focal board may construct works for the ratepayers which shalt give each a supply within the house; and also have water at command for public purposes, fires, street-washing, flushing sewers, and other purposes. "The evidence proves that fever pre/ails in the townehips. A difference of opinion was, however, expressed at the inquiry as to the origin of local fevers, some contending that they are imported from- Liverpool. The vexedquestion of impede.; tion and contagion need not be argued; neither is it necessary to prove that excess of disease prevails, to show how desirable it is that additional; local power for good government should be granted. Sewers require to be formed, or houses cannot be drained ; and where there are cesspools, • either within or without the walls-Cf dwelling-houses, there will be excess of disease. Foul ditches poison the atmospher a . and unforme& roads generate wet and discomfort. "The population of the township of Great Orceby, in 1801, was 425; in the year 1851, it had become 2,403'i. and there has been an accelerated rate-of increase since the census. There has not been much increase in the adjoining townships, which remain purely agricultural. Little Crosby township con tained, in 1801, 317 persons; in 1851, 407 persons. Ince Blundell, in 1801, 419 persons; and in 1851, 501: Thornton, 1801, 230 persons; 1851; 298. "The population of Litherland, in 1811, was 338'; in 1851, it had risen to 2,252 ; the adjoining agricultural' townships remaining almost stationary. This increase of population re presents a corresponding,increase in the price of , land for building purposes, offering: pecuniary inducements for better looal government, as also for sanitary improvement.. " RECOMMENDATIONB.—Taking into consider:AlM the wishes of the inhabitants- within the townships of Great Crosby and Litherland, 11 beg to recommend that a new boundary be formed, to he called " Waterloo." That the Public health Act be applied: within such boundary: That the local board to he elected tinder the said Public - Health Act ooneist of nine persons,- That every person shall, -at the time of his election as a member of the said local board,: and so long as he shall continue in office- by virtue of such electinn, be resident, as in the said Public. Health Act, 1818;; is. re quired,and be seised and possessed; of real personal estate,. or both, to the value or amount.. of not less than £l,OOO, orshall be so resident and rated to thenrelief of the poor of the parish upon =annual value of not less than £30." In the course of his remarke ; .Mr..Rawlinson throws outsome eminently practical suggestions for remedying the evils wiliala are demonstrated in the evidence to , exist, and the remedy of whichia counselled in the report: He says, in reference-ts Croaky, "many nuisances exßetthroughout the township,vvltich cannotbe.remedied under the-Highway Act. The village.re quiresto-be sewered, and in aeeornplii3hing this work facilities may be-given for land drainage. Public lights will be a great convenience, and one local' governing body can alone/ar range for these and other ireprovements et the least cost:? So in regard to Litherland, he observes, "The villages require- works of improvement ;. fever is common ; . the guardians cannot do the work. necessary; and if extended powers , be Dot given, locall nuisances will increase with the+ addition, of population." Whiled fully concurring in the value of the suggestions, we would, call special attention to- the assertion which we have marked ire italics. Its importance is aliViOuil to every one, andlita truth: will be gainsaid by few: If this proposition be granted,.wordil it not be for the inte rests-of: the proprietors and other ratepayers in thesetown-, shipato pause in their solicitation. fora separate application.of the Public Health Act ? The Corporation of Liverpelli it is: understood,. is about to applyto Parliament for such anexten sion. of the borough boundary,. particularly with a view to. sanitary purposes, as will; include some portion, and might eaailyhe made to include the whole s .of these townships... Hit be true, as there is no reason Ao. doubt that it is, that 4 one local governing body Can ,alone arrange for these and other improvements AT THE.IJEAaT,COST: can it be doubted, that it would be for the benefit of the ratepayers and inhabitants of those townships to coalesce and eo.operate with Li7orpool in the endeavour to carry out a general scheme of improvement, instead of pursuing the .less .efftctive-project.of isolated local action? By such ca-operation they could be at orce and effi ciently supplied in reference to. water, sewerage,. and light by the isolated plea . they may indeed ultimately meet a tho rough sanitary rearm in both townships, but it more than merely problematie.tbut they. will be able to do :ie. with ,equal efficiency and celerity, as if united in a general measure of the same nature, in ,common with the borough of Liverpool. THE CIRIMBER OF COMMERCE - A,NI): . . MONETARY AFFAI2M. . . A requisition, as, on Thursday, addressed to the chakman of the Chamber of Commerce, requesting him to call . a meet ing of the Chamber, to, consider what oourse should be in stantly adopted for the relief of the community under depre ciation of property,. consequent upon our present monetary' system. The requisition was signed by T, and.ll. hittledale and Co.; Molyneux, Taylor, and Co.;, Thomas.Haigh and Co.; R. Z%vilchenbart, Forer, and Co.; Buchanan, Brown, and Co.; and other influential names, and was.presentea on. Friday to Mr. Edward , Heath, chairman of the Chamber, by Mr. J. Torr, asittledale and C 0.,) Mr. Charles. Parker, (Sandbaeh, Tinne, and C 0.,) Mr. Thomas Haigh,, Mr. Ravenscroft, Mr. M. S. Beckwith, Mr. G. Griffith, and Mr. H. C. Beloe. Mr. Heath said, he heartily sympathised with the requisitionists, both in his capacity as a merchant, and, as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and was desirous of using every endeavour to promote the objects of the deputation. He would remind. them, however, that if the .Chamber had obtained influence in. high quarters, it was owing to the moderation and cautious, ness of the measures which it had. urged, and it could only heipe to maintain that influence by the use of the same means. He suggested, therefore, to the deputation the propriety of bringing the matter first before a special meeting of the Council, instead of peremptorily calling the Chamber, which comprised six hundred metnbers, together. Were the latter course adopted, it was probable that, in a crisis of this kind, strong resolutions, not calculated to meet the object in view, would be adopted. He was not aware whether the requisition was signed by twenty-one members of the Chamber ; if so, he had no discretion, but was bound by the rules to call a meeting of the Chamber. Mr. H. C. Beloe observed that the requisition came from gentlemen deeply engaged in commerce, who looked up to the Chamber as their representative in a crisis like this. He did not think, therefore, that, even sup posing there were twenty-one members, the chairman should receive the requisition as from members of the Chamber, as they did not sign it in that capacity. Mr. Heath was obliged for this information, as it made his course clear. During the last fortnight he had had conversations with various gentle men upon this subject, and his intention was, at the next monthly meeting of the Council, to have brought the subject before them, if no member introduced a specific motion on the subject. The Chamber would probably have taken up the subject on its general merits, even if it had not thus been brought before them, because they had always anticipated the taking into consideration, at the next Parliamentary session, of the great question of the renewal of the Bank Charter, which was now merely contingent upon a notice from the govern ment, which might terminate it at any moment. Present events, however, would compel an anticipation of this discus: sion, and having received the numerously signed requisition just presented, he should take the earliest opportunity of con vening a special meeting of the council. Having retired for a few moments to consult with Mr. Aikin, (the deputy-chair man,) Mr. Heath announced that the meeting of the Council would be held on Mond#, (yesterday=). The deputation then withdrew, A USTRALIA. Ting ship Marco Polo, Captain Clarke, arrived ou Saturday from Melbourne, with ad flees to the 25th July, 360 passen gers, 125,000 ounces of gold on freight, 450 bales- wool, and 120 tons smelted copper. The Royal Mail ship White Star and British Trident, hence, had arrived at Melbourne, the former on the 17th, and the latter on the 18th July. The Legislative Council had been prorogued to the 4th of Sept., but it would not meet for the despatch of business until December. Mr. O'Shanassy had given notice of motion to the effect that, whether the new constitution should have answered or not, responsible government should be introduced without further delay. The revenue returns to the 30th of June showed a decrease on the year of £70,729 14s. ; on the quarter corresponding with the same time last year the de crease was £171,917 Os. 7d. The total income for the year was £3,148,847 14s. 2d. Trade was dull, employment scarce, wages much lowered, and the necessaries of life exorbitantly dear. Many of the government works had been stopped for want of funds. Some new diggings had been discovered in the Whipstick Scrub, about fourteen miles from Sandhurst. An expedition was about to start from Sydney to explore the interior of the Australian continent. Mr. IV. A. Eyre, who formerly held a commission in the British army, had committed suicide by cutting his throat. He has a wife and large family in England. On the voyage to - had been drinking to excess. At Geelong a numerously attended meeting of Scotehmen had been held, for the purpose of affording relief to the suffering poor of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and also to discuss the position of many of the working class of Highlanders in the colony, relative to certain debts due by them to the Highland and Island Emigration Society. At Adelaide, on the 17th July, the weather was mild and seasonable. The necessaries of life were very dear. The number of unemployed single young women supported at government expense in Adelaide was 519, and on board ships at Port Adelaide 376. Arrangements will soon be made to save the expenses attending the transmission of wools 00 miles by railway, the consideration for which has to be paid by the producer of the wool, and the consumer (notwithstanding the extra cost) is at a greater disadvantage. This will be obviated as soon as sales are properly com menced in Liverpool; and if once tried on a large scale are certain to be continued. On comparing the rates of freight from Sydney and Melbourne to London and Liverpool, it will be seen that the difference is upwards of 5 per cent. on the declared value in favour of Liverpool; or, in the - phraseology of the Scotch banker, "five bales out of every hundred" are taken for freight from Sydney to London more - than from Melbourne to Liverpool. If the clip of Port Philip is esti mated at £1,000,0004 by this means a saving is effected of no less than £50,000, which would otherwise have come directly from the pocket of the shipping owner. This is a consideration which cannot be overlooked, and- the parties offering it must ultimately succeed in the undertaking. There is no doubt when a market is established in Melbourne —which both merchants and squatters agree is necessary— wools will be brought here from the neighbouring colonies, inasmuch as it will pay them to send it this way. The central position of Melbourne-marks it at once to be the metropolis of Australia. The transactions in tallow for shipment during the last two. months have been limited, nearly the whole being taken for consumption at extreme - rates.

At the end of that time he obtained a Latin grammar belonging: to a young member of his family, and,deelaring that he , also must make ca - ssice.l ,speeches,. committed. to his memory (which is excellent; when be likes): coveral, gerunds and supines, and the three concords, which he asserted. would come in. well in a peace speicl2,, Be also learned the prepriii qua maribus. tribuuntur- MS servant-maid.then.ooming in to demand. what he wouht. like for dinner—for, the.

In the meantime the saidßright, declared that he too would write scale novels and roroances, which should take the shine, as he phrased it, out of,' everybody, and he sat up. until the middle of the night, writing , a political tale, in which. the heroine, being , the wife of a dandy i11,..P., who got tipsy on the night of an itnportant debateolressed herself in her hue.. band's clothes, - Ant-en a mou.stsche,.and, easily passing for her,. effeminate lord., took ber seat in,the- Hulse, but, being worked upon by the impassioned oratory. ; of a, celebrated Quaker mem,. her (very carefully and favorabls described), threw herself lute his arms, sobbing and crying, _ to the great scandal of the Speaker and . the. Sergeant-at-4.rms. On the proximate day thesaid Bright's bewilderment at the, unexpected,tidings took another turn, and he insisted, upon holding a levee, at which all ; the magnates of Manchester.wexe. summoned to attend and hiss his hand ; whereto some of them demurring, he went round to their houses and punched their heads, severally and,respectively, he being, as is well kPowna,. of pugiliitic tendencies.. coalki:ntafdi,ncioensom:n.inile..l. 1 Then he wrote letters.to the said Gladstone and, Disraeli, ba their utter mystification, promising to stand by them, like. a good. one, and asking how they thought the great oillees of State should be distributed, adding that " something_ must be done. for, poor dear Cobby"—by which he was. supposed to mean Mr. Cobden, M.P., one of his depeDdents.. `fie said Gladstone and Disraeli each returned him a soothing answer, ,ind, wrote privately to his friends advising a. straight waist coat. His last freak was writing to Sir Charles Barry, architect of the Houses. of Parliament, ordering him, to, make a separate seat, with arms to it, on the Treasury bench, for him, Bright, and threatening to hang him (though generally opposed to capital punishments) in case of a debalt. But some well-wisher (he has several) having sent him a copy of a Conservative paper in which the whole statement of the Times was explained to be utterly unfounded, or rather to have been founded on some juke in, an Irish paper, male volently expanded into a story, he burst into a great rage, ex claimed that he had always said that all newspapers (except a few under his own thumb) ought to be put down, and went og to meeting. Obadiah Fleshpots having concluded his statement, I gave him some more rum and water, and hastened to pen down these particulars for the reasons I have above stated, and which I leave to the favorable consideration of the charitably-minded.
