Jones, lithographer, Lord-street. It is taken from a re cent and very spirited sketch, and conveys both the per son and the expression of tile noble original—the manly and aristocratic bearing and the intellectual character of features, on the latter of which is impressed more of thoughtfulness than those who have only been in the habit of seeing him amidst the excitement of his once favourite pursuits will recognise as belonging to him, but which is in strict keeping with his recent arduous and wearing labours in the cause of his country, This sketch ought to be in the hands of every constitutionalist. STEAM NAVIGATION DETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND NEW TORK.—We undeastand that a party:in America are com mencing with great spirit the organisation of a steam navigation company, in opposition to Cunard's splendid line of steamers. A Mr. E. K. Collins, of New York, 16 the party who has commenced the movement, the arrange ments of which are on a grand scale—a regular go-a-head affair. The proposed new steamers are to be 285 ft. long, 4'6 ft. broad, 3000 tons burden, and with engines of about the same as the Great Britain. The contractor guarantees greater power and elegance in proportion to size and weight than has ever been attained ;•each vessel is estima ted to cost $500,000, including half that sum for machi nery ; already about 52,500,000 are said to be subscribed, and two of these gigantic vessels are ezpected to be ready by the autumn of 1849. DEATH FROM ACCIDENT.—On Saturday an inquest was held on view of the body of Robert McQueen, aged 22, who had been employed some time at Mt. Jacks's boiler works, in Dublin-street. On Saturday week deceased and two other men were opening a large-Wooden gate, on rollers, belonging to the premises, and from which the guide above had previously been taken t 6 allow the pas .sage through of some large boilers. Dtcer.,sed fastened a rope round a large fly which was against-the yard wall, to steady it as with a guy. The gate did not keep its per pendicular, and as it fell outward into the street, it pulled over the wheel (which weighed 18 cwt) upon the deceased, who was so much hurt that he died on-Thursday at the Northern hospital.—Verdict, "accidental death," with a recommendation from the jury that the: gate should be better secured in future. BOOTLE NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—We are much gratified to learn that the Earl of Derby, with his accustomed libe rality, has recently contributed to the enlargement of these schools. The noble Earl, in addition to a grant of land for the purpose, has been a donor of the handsome sum of - 111.. Encouraged by this munificent gift, the inhabitants of Bootle have collected among themselves a sufficient sum to complete the work begun under such auspices ; and now, in addition to the previously existing Boys and Girls' School, there is a spacious and commo dious Infant School, opened for the growing requirements of the neighbourhood. We congratulate the trustees of these schools, and especially their active and well-known treasurer, on the consummation of their laudable efforts for the welfare of the children of the poor, and the gene ral benefit of the district. Seeing the, zealous and unti ring labours of their pastor, the congregation of Bootle Church are always ready to do good, and to distribute. " Verily, they will not lose their reward." HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL.—ITI the exhibition of the Liverpool. Academy, there is a fine fult , length portrait, by lliidge, of our respected townsman Mr: Braithwaite Poole, which was pesented to that gentleman as a testimonial of the esteem in which he is held hy , the officers of the London and North Western Railway,. with which he is immediately connected. The sum paid to Mr. Illidge for this work was 300 guineas. Mr. Poole is also about to receive another valuable gift as a token of the estimation in which his services to railways are held. In the shop window of Mr. Doke, of Lord-street, may be seen a handsome service of plate, consisting of a tea service, a coffee service, and a salver. The •Ve'lae of the whole is two hundred guineas. The salver bears the following in scription :—" Presented, with a tea , and coffee service, to Braithwaite Poole, Esq., by the members of the Railway Managers Goods Conference, as testimony of the great esteem in which he is held by them, and as an acknow ledgment of his valuable services as originator, and for some time honorary secretary of , these useful meetings.

There is an increase here of £148,0c . in.the quarter -r•tl just ended, o 3f which incl.( corresponding quarter we believe about £30,000 lust year from the existing Corn., Duties—which were not in bree last year. We understand that there has been a pints, Wine, and Tobacco, and which would •e marked in tae aggregate, were it not that 116,000 has been received within the last quarter on Sugar.

ANNE'S WARD.—On Thursday night, at a rimetitig of the electors of this ward, Mr. Poo!e addressed them, and expressed himself strongly in favour of rating the dock and corporate estates. A resolution to support him was passed unanimously. EVERTON AND KIRKDALE.—A meeting of the rate payers of the ward was held at New's Hotel on Wednes day, for the purpose of adopting measures to secure the return of Mr. Thomas Langsdale for that ward, in oppo sition to Mr. Shand, the retiring member. ABERCROMBY WARD.—A meeting of the burgesses of this ward was held on Friday, at the Phoenix Inn, Mount pleasant,—R. C. Gardner, Esq., in the chair,—to nomi nate a candidate. Thomas Lee, Esq., was proposed, and introduced to the meeting. He was in favour of rating the dock estate, and as to rating the corporate estate his impression was, that it would - be expedient to do so. With respect to the Rivington Pike scheme, he should have opposed it as unnecessary. A resolution was after wards passed, pledging the meeting to use every exertion to secure Mr. Lee's return. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—At the weekly meeting on Wednesday, a letter from the Poor-law Board seas read, enclosing a letter from Mr. Arrowsmitli, relative to his defalcation, and requesting farther time for another inves tigation to be made by parties chosen by himself and his sureties. The board replied, that they would grant hick a fortnight, but would not interfere with what the guardians might do in the meantime. The latter agreed to allow a week before they proceeded for the amount. The motion relative to the division of Toxteth =park into districts, for the purposes of relief, of which notice had last week been given, was carried. Miss Wolfendall was appointed ma tron of the fever hospital. The Rev. Mr. Badnall was appointed vice-chairman, in the place of Mr. Roberts, resigned. Mr. Peers was appointed deputy. The motion That the appointment of Mr. Knowles, , collector of poor rates, be rescinded," was carried. The Rev. Thomas Dwyer was appointed chaplain to the fever hospital, at a salary of £2O. Several appointments of collectors for out townships were made. DOCK Coanureree.—The Committee of Works reported that they would not make any appropriation at present of the land at the north end.—lt was ordered that the Cla rence half-tide basin should be run dry on the 13th and 14th instant, the usual notices being given. —The Har bour Master's Committee recommended the appointment of Mr. Thomas Prenten, as master of the Canning Dock, at a salary of £l5O per annum, with a house. Confirmed. —The same committee also recommended the appoint ment of Mr. William Foyle, as master of the Toxteth Dock. This led to a long and desultory discussionnMr.. Tobin, Mr. Shand, and one or two other members, eon tending that persons in the employ of the trust in sitbor dinate capacities, such as pier -masters, &c., should be elevated to such situations aeon inducement for good con duct and attention. Mr. Shand thought the matter should be referred. Mr. Saunders, a• member of the committee, remarked that the proceedings of a committee ought not to be referred merely because a member had an individual iii his service whom he wished to be appointed. Mr. Aikin said that, as to members recommending their ser vants, he thought the last speaker need not have alluded to it ; he believed, however, that Foyle, the person recom mended, was in his (Mr. Saunders) employ. Mr. Saun ders replied that, though Foyle was in his employ, so far from wishing him to come forward as an applicant for the vacant situation, he had advised him not to do so. The matter was ultimately referred back-, and the committee were directed to ascertain whether any pier -master or other officer was capable of taking the situation. THE ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCIL/EDIiOGICAL SOCIETY. —The first meeting of this society, for the season, was held on Wednesday evening last, at en Royal Institu tion. There was a very numerous attendance of gentle men connected with the architectural profession, and other branches of building and construction. The Presi dent (his Worship the Mayor,) was unavoidably absent, and the chair was. occupied by Mr. Fitton, the vice president A number of splendid drawings,. plans, &c., the production of members of the society, and some beautiful designs by . Mr. Frank Howard, illustrative of English history, intended to decorate the Grammar School at Preston, were exhibited. The Chairman aengratulated the members of the profession on the formation of a so ciety which was likely to produce such beneficial. results : it would be advantagecus not to architects merely, but to all those gentlemen whose avocations connected them in any way with building generally. He had me doubt of the success of the society, now that it had been established on such a permanent basis. He concluded by alluding to an interesting- paper he had heard read at the sister so ciety at Garnarvon, by Mr. Hartshorn, giving some ori ginal details connected with Carnarvon Castle. Mr. Reid, the secretary to the society, read a paper on the architec ture and archteology of St:.Andrew's Church, Bebington, to which edifice an excursion:had been made by the members, a short time. ago. Mr. Reid entered into many details, showing the different styles to be found in this ancient building, together with itsrhistory and the various changes and alterations it had undergone at different periods. His observations were illustrated by drawings and dia grams. The reading of the paper was listened id with much attention, and the subject was considered- of so much importance, that it was agreed to adjourn:it for further consideration at the next meeting of the society. THE BUILDING SURVEYOR v. PATERSON.—This was an information, heard before Mr. Rushton on Tuesday. against the contractor for the masons' work of St. Peter's Church, Great Oxford-street, for erecting the clerestories in contravention of the Liverpool Building Act, 5 Vie., c. 44. The _real defendants were the trustees of the church, mid the point in dispute was whether the cleres tories were external walls or merely portions of the roof. Mr. Robinson, assistant building surveyor, said the ex . ternal walls were not built according to the provisions of the act, but that all the external walls, with the exception of the clerestories, were of greater thickness than required by the act, and were also further strengthened by but tresses. Mr. Rishton, the chief building surveyor, in answer to the court, admitted that the roofs of St. John's St. James's Markets were on the same principle as A number of architects, surveyors, the one in questior and builder; were attend. defendant ; but the magisirates, after the short exam nation of the assistant building surveyor, said the act ought to receive a liberal construction,' and decided, without calling on the defendant's witnesses, that there had been no infringement. and dismissed the case, Mr. Blair asked for defendant's costs on the ground of the very heavy expense he had been put to in preparing to de fend the case. The court said they had not the power, or would have given them ; and they regretted they had not that power. for the On Thurs ?er of passe to the Y, room POLICE INTELLIGENCE. COMMITUENTS AT THE reiETCH-COURT, YESTERDAY.— Ann Redman, who had been.remanded from Saturday, for concealirrg.the birth of her child, was committed for trial at the sessions.—Ellen Alexander, who had gone into the house of-Jane Whitehead; on Sunday. the key haring baen left-hi the door, and stolen therefrom two candle: sticks, value 25., was also sent for trial.—John Hughes. charged with stabbing John rd'Mahon, on Saturday., in Bolton-street, was committed for trial.—Also.

Whilst confined to the yard, by the aid of a ladder he scaled a wall, and dropped down on the other side, a height of eighteen feet, but received 110 bodily injury. The head, constable, of course, suspended man. A PRACTICAL MAGIIiTRATE. - A man was brought up athe Police-office, on Tuesday, charged with insubordi nation in the workhorse, and committed to gaol; for 21 dos. He complained of having to work at aband mill, which was too laborions for any man to undertake alone ; brit Mr. Rushton said this was false, as he ha&.been to the workhouse himself, and turned all the mills there, the la bour of which was nnt , too muc for any inc ustri6us man MISDEMEANOttn.—.-Ort Friday, a married female, named Anne Crewe, was brought up at the Police-court, charged either with having concealed the birth of, or having de serted, her newly born child. Prisoner called at a house in Kirkdale, about noon on Sunday weeit, and, shortly , fterwara. , be no afterwards, a newl7,born infant, which, there can doubt, belonged to the prisoner, was found at a consider able distance or.

A CASE OF HOO.USSING.—On Friday a•scampish-look ing fellow, namecUChristopher Crane, was committed for trial on the charge of having robbed a stupid-looking fellow of his purse and.; some silver. An attempt was made by Mr. Owen, an attorney, to show that :he prosecutor had lost his money before he went to the side of the dock. The fellow was seen to perpetrate the felony, and it also appeared clear that the prosecutor (wlvo., by the way, was half stupified) had been dosed by the companions of the prisoner, whose brother had offered 3 , ppliceman ten shil lings not to appear against him. _ _ court, on Friday, an A RECOGNITION officer, who was th takiug care of it the Police nincipal witness in a felony case, was scree stolen geese,, did not appear at his e case was called on.

M'NEILE OI TO PAY THE ROMAN HOOD BY THE STATE, EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL MAIL Stn,—A friend has called my attention to a paragraph in your last paper, which seems to call for a few observa tions from me; and I have, therefore, to beg the favour of the insertion of this letter in your next. To avoid misrepresentation, however unintentional, you will oblige me by reprinting die paragraph here. I have cut it out of the paper and enclose it for the purpose. " It is currently reported in circles usually well-informed, that the Rev. Dr. M'Neile has had the candour to admit the overwhelming necessity for greatly modifying his objection* to a state provision for the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland. Indeed there are many converts to the conviction, that there will be no lasting peace in that unhappy land for either pro testant or papist, until the Irish priesthood are relieved from the worst form of the evils of "voluntaryism," that is, abject dependence on the demagogue of the day and his seven millions of deluded dupes—the excitable peasantry—whose "pence" now form their precarious stipends. At all events, it is confi dently stated that Dr. M`Neile has been in correspondence with Bir Robert Inglis on this vexed subject, and that the latter at least is willing to advocate, or to acquiesce in, the state pay— ment of the Roman Catholic clergy, PROVIDED, the law mll ar the same tie re confer on the Irish laity, Roman Catholic aS well as Protestant, the same ceded-Attical rights and vrivEcsre,s-az • .1, 6.0 L. , f the Anglican Church in this country enjoy ;• '--- of demanding Christian baptism, church- of women, and burial, as un this latest on dit as we receive it.

In the place, filet., my kind friend, Sir Robert Inglis, are et v... sequence to the public' than mine, I beg to assure you that there is not the slightest foundation for the above report, so far as he is concerned. r have never had the honour of any correspondence with him - upon the subject referred to, nor do I know whether his view of it has undergone any recent modification, I think it extremely unlikelt. Opinions of ly more con— For - myself T can answer. My opinions-npon the sub ject are grounded upon a carcfully acquired knowledge of the system. of Romanism, and an anxiously eont.eientions comparisortt of it with the inspired word of God.

There is, indeed, always some risk of misappre... hension, (especially where a strong tasli exists on one, side,) when even, for argument's sake, the main question:- is set aside, and some secondary or subsidiary topic ele-' rated into chief discussion. That you and your readers , may perceive how this he happened in this case, I have , written a fair specimen of the conversations referred to,• held in a passing way, stake pede in uno, in a newsroom or counting-house. I can, indeed, recall only two s u ch occasions Ido not pretei;d=to transcribe the very-words which passed on either; but if you will allow A. in the' !ogue, to represent your informar M`Neile, youvtill have substl ,andßto rtially tho A—W ell, what say you to' this project of paying the Raman Catholic Priests in Ireland ? B .—W hat can be said in favour of such a project ? A:--- - Why, don't you think that if the priests were made independent of the fees, dues, and other exactions from their 'people,. en which they novr , live, their people would become more independent of them.? Surely, if the people knew; as they would, of course, soon know, that the priestS were salaried by the state, they would feel them- selves at liberty to withhold many of those payments which they now give as matter of necessary support to their clergy. And is it not human nature that the priests themselves, or many of them, if independent of their peo ple, would be less sedulous in their-attentions, and there: fore less influential ? In this point of view, as tending to diminish the absolute control now exercised by the priests, do you not think-that their endowment would be a politic You could not attain, or eve pproximate to the effect you anticipate, unless you corahtned the endowment of the priesthood with an act of parliament giving the laity a legal right to the sacraments and other ordinances of what they consider the true aural. and prompt and efficient legal redress against any priest who refused those -cents or'ordinances.

The school was opened on the _ . 22nd November lasi, to afford " instruction in reading, writing, and arithmetic, to poor lads, on the evenings of four days of the week, Besides this, occasional lessons were given. the attendance of pupils has been large, the average being from 40 to 50 each night. in June it was necessary to close the school for a few weeks, and was re opened on the 18th September. The following passage is quoted from the report :—" They were engaged during the day in someindustrial occupation ; some were in the bw est depths of poverty, others orphans, and two or three confessedly procured a livelihood by street begging—their ages ranged from 10 to 20 years. Generally speaking they were at the commencement very ignorant and very disor derly ; so much in fact was the latter the case, that for the first few nights it was found necessary to have a po lice-officer present • but under the judicious managemen t of the excellent paid teacher (Mr. Arnold) and his volun tary assistants, (several friends 'Laving regularly attended and aided him,) great improvement was speedily visible, and ere the closing of the school many of the pupils had made remarkable progress in the attainment of knowledge, and the behaviour of all had become most satisfactory." The treasurer has a small fund of about £lO in hand, but the annual expenditure will hereafter be larger, as appli cations for admission will increase. It is hoped that the liberality of the public will enable the successors of the present committee to open another school in some other part of the town, It is gratifying to add, that at the re-* opening of the school nearly 80 lads . presented themselyes for admission, 40 of whom bad previously been pupils. man replied—" He is outside,., sir, taking care of the geese."

CHARGE OF MUTINY.-011 Wednesday, John K.4ye, mata.of the, ship Auckland, was brought up on a charge of mutiny. The commander of the vessel, Capt. 'bshep pard, stated that he had occasion to go into the Cove of Cork, and while there the prisoner came to the after part of the vessel, made a blow at him and knocked him down. He then took a marling-spike, struck at one of - the sea men, and was proceeding to assault the rest of the crew, when all hands mustered and overpowered him. He was placed in irons. La answer to an inquiry, the captain said the prisoner shipped-at Constantinople. and behaved him self exceedingly well until their arrzval at Cove. He at tributed his improper conduct to excessive drinking. The crew_ also confirmed this statement. Under all the cir cumstances of the case, Mr. Rushton fined the prisoner £5. and required him to find bail. EXTENSIVE ROBSSERY OF CALICOES AND LINENS...— Three men., named Gibney, Parr, and Callan, were on Tuesday brought up, charged with being concerned in the robbery of two cases of Irish linen, and thirty or forty pieces of bleached calico. The goods in question were consigned to 3.lessrs. Matthews and Co., forwarding agents, of this town, and arrived by a steamer in the Clarence Dock from Coleraine. Parr, who was a porter in their employ, was entrusted with a voucher for the de livery of the goods. It was subsequently, however, found that the goods had been delivered to a carter (Gibney), who produced the note which had been given to Parr. The police, having gat scent of the matter, at once appre hended Parr and Gibney ; they next secured Michael Cal lon, and afterwards proceeded to a grocer's shop in Tithe barn-street, kept by a man named Patterson, and in his back shop found a pile of pieces of bleached calico, :he manufacturer's mark on which had been cut out of each. Upon being asked how the goods came into his possession, Mr. Pattison said they belonged to Callan. Part of the goods were traced elsewhere; and, on Thursday, John M'Donald, Bridget Powell, and Ellen Barton, were brought up charged with being concerned in the robbery. The evidence went to show that the prisoners were in posses sion of a portion of the stolen property, and had pledged 1 it at various pawnbrokers. They were 444114 remanded. The evening passed in the enjoyment of the utmost conviviality and good fellowship. A. party of those pre sent at the dinner went down on the following morning by water,, with the Commodore to }iilbre Island, where they enjoyed a delightful day ; those of them who were strangers to that romantic and sight-commanding spot being especially gratified. The several courses to be put sued by the yachts at future regattas may be distinctly_ seen from the island, and no doubt was entertained as to the required depth of water.

Row AT CROSBY.--A few days ago a party of Irish labourers at Great Crosby, who had been employed in getting potatoes, turned out for an advance of wages, but not being able to obtain their demand in a peaceable way they got drunk, and created a regular Irish row, using their pitchforks against the police and the neighbours who attempted to take them into custody. This was not effected without a fearful conflict, in the course of which the police and one or two parties were severely injured. AWFULLY SUDDEN.—On Thursday morning the village of Bolton-by-Bolland was thrown into the deepest gloom and distress, by the awfully sudden death of the much esteemed, respected, and highly talented Rev.

I fear lest from an elevation in privilege above all others, we should sink to a deser vedly deadlier punishment than all others. While, therefore, we would urge earnestly on all the governed, " honour and obey the Queen," we would as earnestly urge on all the governors, "fear God and keep His commandments." The idea of any real difficulty in the way of Great Britain governing Ireland by martial law, and civilising her on Protestant principles until the constitution could be safely restored to her, is perfectly absurd. The bugbear was propagated for faction, and is perpetuated for place. Infatuated blindness! England could do the work well if she chose ; and she would do it if she were wise.
