D. W. STONE These objects are considered of so much importance by the local interests, that their full support has been ob tained for carrying them into effect. The Report of the Board of Trade in favour of the London and Worcester line states so fully the peculiar advantages of the scheme, that it is unnecessary to repeat them here. The reasons there given for the adoption of that measure apply in a great degree in favour of the present proposal, as compared with any rival scheme, and the lines now proposed are so connected with the London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire scheme, and with the system of railway communication which the Board of Trade have recommended in their Report, that the success of the scheme may be considered to render certai❑ the adoption of the present project. Allusion may, however, be made to the great importance of the junction at Hampton, in connection with the Trent and Churnet Valley lines, by means of which a direct and uninterrupted communication will be established with Lancashire and the North. 'Tbe London and Birmingham, Midland, and London and Worcester Companies unite in co-operation with the local interests, to insure the most effectual completion of the objects in view. _ _ A guarantee will , be proposed by the abovementioned le,;, and a ue prop reservec . years ate `"Ft . 7 1 1d1 (Sh. ` pie d isorder . —l , , EDWARD SU t 7l OYES.

ADril 1R45 to prevent the trusties_of the houses COMPARISON BETWEEN HOMER AND VIRGIL—If Homer excels all subsequent writers in conception of character, vigour of imagination, and graphic delineation, Vir.it in 1. ng, and beauty of expression. There are many more striking scenes in thr Iliad, more animating events, more awful apparitions ; but in the "Eneid, pas sages of extraordinary beauty are much more numerous. What is present to the imagination when we rise from the former, is the extraordinary series of brilliant or ma iestic imaeea whinh it h.. - • derness of Das presentee ; what is engraves on the memory when we conclude the latter, is the charm ing series of beautiful passages which it contains. There are many more events to recollect in the Grecian, but more lines to remember in the Roman poet. To the Iliad, subsequent ages have turned with one accord for images of heroism, traits of nature, grandeur of character. To the ../Eneid, subsequent times will ever have recourse for touches of pathos, expressions of tenderness, felicity of language. Flaxman drew his conception of heroic sculpture from the heroes of the Iliad: Racine borrowed bis heart-rending pathetic from the sorrows of Dido. Homer struck out his conceptions with the bold band, and in the gigantic proportions, of Michael Angelo's fres coes : Virgil finished his pictures with the exquisite grace of Raphael's Madonnas.—Btackwood's Magazine. PREVENTIBLE MORTALITY FROM EPIDEMICS. —It has been stated by Mr. Chadwick, that the annual slaugh ter from one disease alone—typhus —a disease which for merly raged in, but is now banished from, our prisons and our navies—is greater in England and Wales than the loss sustained by the allied armies at the battle of Waterloo. Yet what sort of battle do we here find fought and won by preventible disease against the population of the county of Lancaster. The labouring population of this county have always supplied a large contingent to the armies of the country. It furnished the strength of the army which fought at Flodden ; and Cromwell, speaking o f hi s Lan- rs were never seen on a The guarC recent were large] _ , re n Lancashire.

THE Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may confidently be expected to re ceive the sanction of Parliament in the present Session. The proposed Extensions are as follows :—First, from a point on the Caledonian Railway near Lanark, Eastward, along the valley of the Tweed, by Peebles, Galashiels, and Melrose, to Kelso, where it has been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a jlint station will be formed with the New castle and Berwick Company ; and secondly, Westward, by Muirkirk to Ayr and Kilmarnock. A direct communication, Northwards and Southwards, by means of the trunk line, will thus be secured to those important districts, the expediency of which has been pointed out by the Board of Trade, for the full develop ment of the Caledonian system. Numerous and influential Meetings have been already held in those important districts, loudly calling for Rail way accommodation, and offering every facility and support. The Extension to the East will accommodate the richest agricultural districts in Scotland with timb'r, slate, coal, lime, and other minerals, in all which articles they are in themselves wholly destitute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the trunk Line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural produce from the East, for the immense population engaged in manufactures and mines. When Mr. Telford made his survey of a Line from Glasgow to Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first projected Railway in Scotland, he reported that " it might be easily and cheaply made," and that " no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of produce, and for promoting each other's prosperity." He further remarks that, " The whole distance from Berwick to the water summit being 774- miles, and the total rise 753 feet, (which is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed over,) the average in clination is under 10 feet in a mile, or 1 in 528. • " Inclinations so very easy over such extensive districts of country will enable the intercourse by means of Rail- way to be carried on in both directions ata comparatively small expense, and it will appear still more perfect when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal and lime are all to be passed downwards." The NV stern Extension will folm the shortest and most direct communic,tion from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ire land. The C" stow, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme, which reported against by the Board of Trade, proposed partially to open up the resources of Ayrshire, but af forded no access from thence to Lanark and Edinburgh, or to Kelso and Berwick, whilst the Caledonian Extension Railway, in fulfilment of the anticipations of the Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and at the same time afford an equally good route Southwards. COST ND SURVEY, The length of Railway which it is necessary to construct for the accomplishment of the whole important objects alove specified will be about 104 miles ; and, from sur veys already made and an estimate given by Mr. Locke, the Committee are assured that the Capital of X 1,500,000 will be sufficient to cover the whole expense TRAFFIC. The traffic will embrace—lsi3On the Eastern portion, the carriage of the whole minerals required for the exten sive manufacturing districts around Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of Timber, Slate, Coal, Lime, Lead, and Iron, which must be conveyed to them on this Railway; whilst their vast woollen manufactures, consisting of Tweeds, Blanketings, Shawls, Plaidings, &e. &e, as well as raw material must pass in return; and 2d,—The conveyance of agricultural produce from the highly-cultivated South-eastern districts of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and mining and manu acturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation, based upon Mr. Telford's estimate, it can be shown that, at the present day, a return of upwards of 5 per cent. may , be reckoned upon from those sources alone, after deduct ing 40 per cent. for expenses On the Western portion of the line to Ayr an _ _ . Kilmar ge mineral and goods traffic may be relied on, independent of the Fastern Extension.

Mr. BRIGHT proceeded to say that the Manchester poor-law guardians, who he supposed were as enlightened a body as the Liverpool select vestry, bad adopted this view ; the Roman Catholic paupers under their care re ceived religious instruction upon Sundays from their own priest, in a room appropriated to the purpose. They did not allow the paupers to go out; whilst they were allowed to go out here by night, considerable loss was thrown upon the parish by many of them running away with the clothes. Mr. LOWNDES.—Do you conclude with a motion? This would rrquire notice. Mr. BRIGHT replied that he wished the Workhouse Committee to take up the subject. Mr. BREMNER.—This is the great difficulty we are un der—a gentleman makes a speech and he does not con clude with a motion. Mr. BRIGHT.—Then I will give notice of a motion. The CHAIRMAN begged pardon for reminding Mr. Bright that he began by moving the confirmation of the proceedings, with the exception of the part relative to Roman Catholics. He had, therefore, a motion before the meeting. His advice to Mr. Brght was to consider • this matter maturely before he again brought it forward, because there had been a motion on this very subject, which he had better first look at. Mr. BRIGHT.—But we live in strange times now, sir. The CHAIRMAN.—I do not know—but I should doubt —whether a Roman Catholic priest would consent to offi ciate in a dining-room. I should rather think some other room would have to be appropriated for it. I do not, however, speak with the least positiveness upon the sub ject. - Mr. BRIGHT repeated that he would give notice of a motion on the subject. The proceedings were then confirmed. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee recommended the appointment of six additional collectors of the pariah rates. After some conversation the proceedings were confirmed. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE. This committee, at their monthly meeting, passed a resolution recommending the Select Vestry to take im mediate steps for the appointment of a chaplain to the establishment. Mr. BREMNER moved the confirmation of the proceed ings, and, in addition, that the rectors be requested to recommend a gentleman suitable to undertake the duties of the chaplaincy. The last part of the proposition might be objectionable to some parties ; but the difficulty the vestry would be under in arriving at a perfect knowledge of the candidates from mere testimonials would render that mode of deciding almost useless. The election of superintendent was a case in point. Out of 69 applica tions there were two or three clergymen, but not one of whom the committee could recommend, although they had profuse and lavish testimonials in their favor. One clergyman, he particularly remembered, had admirable' testimonials, whilst it eventually turned out that he had been imprisoned in Lancaster Castle for embezzlement. In the present case, therefore, it was much better that the rectors should enquire into the merits of the parties best capable of filling the office. He begged to move also that me rectors be requested to obtain the bishop's license for divine service being performed in the dining-hall, until arrangements could be made for providing a chapel. Mr. A. HENnEasoN seconded the na.ition. Mr. BRIGHT said there was no objection to the dining hall now, although that was the objection to his proposal. Mr. BRRMNER.—Not at all : one was for Popery ; and the other is for the religion of the Established Church of England. (Hear, hear.) Mr. THORNELY thought that before the chaplain was appointed, the vestry should see whether thorp twaQ tr er of c .dren there would be Mr. BREMNER said there would be 500 children in the schools when they were opened, on the let of May. Mr. THORNELY had heard there would be not be more than 400. to sufficient to justify the appointment Mr. BREMNER asked whether, if there were only 400, they were to be deprived of rpliminn. ) Mr. EARLE.—WouId you require all to attend ? Mr. BREMNER replied that it was not intended to make religious instruction compulsory. Mr. EARLE did no► think the Vestry need be so scru pulous about giving the Catholics instruction. He bad read Sir Robert Peel's speech about Maynooth, and he admired his conduct upon it exceedingly, and he did not think the Vestry could reasonably refuse to do something of the sort. The strongest speech he had ever read in his life was on the same subject, and it was from Mr. Glad stone, the late President of the Board of Trade, who had left the Government. The SECRETARY suggested that Mr. Gladstone had seceded from the ministry upon account of the sugar duties. Mr. EIRLE said that might he the ostensible ground, but the true reason was because he did not coincide with them upon the Maynooth grant. His was the best speech in its favour ; and having such high authority —a man too who had written so much on Church and State—the vestry could not do better than follow such high au thority and at once instruct the Roman Catholic paupers. Mr. BREMNER.—We shall not exclude either Roman Catholic or dissenting children. Mr. EARLE replied that the dissenters took care of their own children. The children sent there would be either Roman Catholic or Church of England. Mr. BREMNER.—Does Mr. Earle mean to say we should teach Roman Catholic children the Roman Ca tholic religion, as Sir Robert Peel says the state should do at Maynooth ? (Cries of " Hear, hear," and " Oh! oh !" from Mr. Earle.) The CHAIRMAN said he could answer for Mr. Rector Brooks as well as himself that this was a request which they did not seek for. It was exceedingly difficult, nothing more difficult, to find a gentleman fit for such a situation as this; but they would do their best, as they had before ; and he was in hopes that they would be suc cessful. He believed the gentleman they had recom mended for the chaplaincy of the Wookhouse had given satisfaction. Mr. BRIGHT was satisfied that the recommendation could not be in better hands. BUILDING COMMITTEE The proceedings of this committee were unimportant; and after some conversation as to the disposal of a large quantity of refuse bricks, they were confirmed. THE SECRETARY'S SALARY The CHAIRMAN read a letter from the Poor-law Com missioners, dated April 10th, in reference to the proposed )f the secretary's salary. Thp posed increase provided the business of the vestry were conducted in a manner which they detailed at great length SQ as to ensure greater responsibility ; but as th-i duties of The Select Vestry met yesterday for the last time pre vious to the election of new members, which commences to-day in St. Nicholas' parish church. Reporters from the public press applied for admission ; and they were re quested to wait for a reply until the vestry had considered the application. After deliberating half an hour, their admission was agreed upon, and they were requested to take their seats at a table provided for their accommoda tion. On entering the room we found the Rev. Rector Campbell in the ch,ir, and the following members pre sent: the churchwardens, Messrs. Muncaster and Wil kinson ; the overseers, Messrs. Muncaster, Green, W. Earle and Urquhart; and Messrs. A. Henderson, Brem ner, Ford, Ferguson, Hand, Blackburn, Bennett, Groom, Bright,Thorneley, Clay, Whitby, Briscoe,Swainson, Lea, Molyneux, Scholefield and Miller. ADMISSION OF REPORTERS. The CHAIRMAN stated that the following resolution had been passed on the motion of Mr. Ford, seconded by Mr. Ferguson :—" That reporters for the public press be admitted at the present and all future meetings of the Board ; but upon intimation of the chairman, or any member of the Board, that matters of a particular nature are about to be discussed, they should withdraw, subject to re-introduction if it should he the opinion of the ma jority that they may be present." WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE. The proceedings of the Workhouse Committee con tained a charge brought by the governor against Mr. Graham, the house surgeon, of non-attendance upon William Aspinail, a pauper, at one o'clock on Sunday morning se'nnight, for bronchitis, of which he died in a few hours afterwards. This charge had been investigated ; and Mr. Graham's answer to it was to the effect, that, at the period in question, it was Mr. Radeiffe's turn of duty ; but when he round Mr. Radcliffe did not arrive, he attended to the sick man until that gentleman did arrive. The committee, on the motion of Mr. Earle, seconded by Mr. Green, came to a resolution, that, having investigated the case, they regretted to find that, after a previous admonition, Mr. Graham should be called upon to explain his conduct, which was highly blameable; but, as there were extenuating circumstances in it, they hoped he would in future be more guarded. The com mittee next recommended that John Smith, gate-keeper, be discharged for drunkenness. A report was next read of the numbers, descriptions, and other details. of all the parties in the house in the quarter commencing at Lady day last, and just ended ; and it appeared in a report from the governor that several Roman Catholic inmates had run away, with the parish clothes upon their backs, when sent out, on the Sabbath, to attend their own places of worship. Mr. BRIGHT reeved the confirmation of the report, with the exception of that part which related to the Roman Catholic paupers. On Thursday last, he proceeded, the governor reported to the committee that great inconveni ence arose from the present mode of the Roman Catholics receiving instruction on Sundays. The rule, hitherto, had been that the Roman Catholics should go out to at tend their own chapels; and he had no doubt that many paupers said they were Roman Catholics merely that they might be able to leave the house on Sundays. The con sequence of this rule had been that during the service at the chapel many of them absconded with the parish clothes in their possession ; and he was satisfied that so long as the present system was continued the same practice would exist among that part of the population in the house. A suggestion bad been made which might be adopted with out any great inconvenience, and which at the same time would test whether those who so described themselves were really Catholics or not, namely, that the dining hall, or some other large room, should be appropriated for their religious service upon Sundays. The convenience of the house would be promoted thereby, and many would per haps leave the house altogether when they found them selves deprived of the power or leaving the house on Sun days. Very possibly, therefore, the numbers would be reduced. But it was very desirable that those who were conscientious Roman Catholics should have an opportu nity on the Sabbath day of communicating with their own priest there. Mr. BREMNER.—WouId Mr. Bright have mass per formed in the Liverpool Workhouse? Mr. BRIGHT.—That is not the question, sir. Mr. BREMNER.—But it is the question according to your own view. the office were without that degree of responsibility which they deemed requisite, they did not think any increase of salary called for. CORRESPONDENCE Mr. HOUGHTON said, that if the details pointed out in this letter were carried out the vestry would have to re turn to the old system, which had been tried here, and found not to work well. He moved that the letter be re ferred to the Finance Committee. ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH, TOXTETH PARK TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—The time is at hand when great revolutions aris manifest in our Protestant Church in Great Britain at Ireland. THE NEW SETTLEMENT BILL. Communications were read from the unions of Norwich, Caistor, and Camberwell, calling att> ntion to this measure now before parliament; and Mr. Bremner gave notice that, at the nest meeting, he would move for the appoint.. ment of a Sub -committee to watch the measure in its progress. Therefore, it behoves us to " Watch, to stand fast in the Faith, to quit ourselves lik e m , n and be strong."— I Cor. xvi. 13. We must also attach ourselves with Christian fortitude as becometh faithful laymen to our Scriptural and Evangelical ministers of the everlasting Gospel, when we see them attacked at this momentous era on all sides by the great apostacy of Rome itself, in connexion with the grant to the Popish College of May_ nooth. We see the country all alive in opposition to such grant being made, and I have unfeigned pleasure in stating that a most appropriate and impressive sermon was preached relative to the above grant, from the above text, on Sunday, the 6th instant, by the Rev. Mr. Mar shall of the above church, who has been lately appointed to assist the respected minister Mr. Butler. He is a young man to whom every member of a truly protesting congregation must be g r ea tl y attac h e d for the word's sake, who boldly declares that the religion of the Bible is the only one to encourage a christian, and to teach him to breathe the genuine spirit of the purest morality ; and be likewise feels it Iris duty to avoid and discourage whatever tends to injure the Protestant Church, the " beauty and holiness" of which no one can adequately pourtray.*_ Yours, &c. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS. In reply to a letterifrom the Poor-law Commissioners, dated April 5, requesting information respecting the death of a poor Irishwoman, named Ellen Irving, who died on the 22nd ult., in T ox t e th H osp it a l , i n w h ose case the coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Died of want of the necessaries of life;" Mr. HOUGHTON produced a report from Mr. Grey, containing statements from several par. ties. It appeared that in November last the deceased had been deserted by her husband in Manchester; and four weeks before Christmas she went to reside with her niece in Crosby-street, in this town. She was then in bad health, having a violent cough, with spit ting of brood. She was admitted into the Toxteth Hospital on the 22d March, and died two hours after. A post mortem examination was made, and nothing was found in her stomach but some soup that had been given her upon admission. A niece of the deceased stated that she had not wanted food, as she had always had two meals per day, and, just previous to going to the hospital, had given her 2s. The report was ordered to be sent to the Poor-law Commissioners for their information. A testimonial was unanimously ordered to be given from the Vestry to Mr. Charles S. Rowlands, of the over seer's office, who is a candidate for the vacant office of governor of the Lunatic Hospital. A letter was read from Mr. Allan, the architect, com plaining of Mr. Wightman having beeu appointed to su perintend the execution of his plans for enlarging the pre sent workhouse. By way of reply a resolution was passed to send Mr. Allan an official' copy of the resolution agreed to at the last meeting. The vestry then separated. A MEMBER OF THE ABOVE CHURCH.
