THE ittberpoof TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1855. FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING. THE shortening days and lengthening nights—the coldwinds 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. JOURDIIN. The letter had been read in London at a meeting of the Comit6 ( 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 yak country, permit us to address to -you some useful reflections on your recent journey." The pro ceedings of HER MAJESTY, on her late visit to France, are then re counted, the narrativebeing thickly interspersed with scurrilous 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 Lours 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 ou 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 coalition continues still in some degree to agitate the nervous system Of those who are mainly dependent on the crumbs of vial) 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 GLADSTONE 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 GLA.DSTONITES, 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 i.s_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 Ode ssa . At Kinburn, the fleet succeeded, after a sharp bombardment, in capturing the three forts, mounting seventy guns, and in taking, according to one account, 1,500, 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 mouth 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 1855 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 or NAPLES has become con siderably more ,amenable to reason than he was prior to the Sth 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 ESPARTEEO and O'DonNELL 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 which 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, be 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 18I7i the widowed husband became the possessor of a pension of 430,000 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. Ygt this respectable potentate only had has eyes opened by the fall of Sebastopol, and gratitude impels him now, it seems, to save his friend, if possible. Such, however, is 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 worrth 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 &re 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 Ea-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 tke , better at the use of the cudgel, is an open question ; which is the greater adept in the shrew's vocabulary, admita-of no dis cussion. It is very ludicrous as well as somewhat melan choly to behold the journalistic JUPITER 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 stczmed, 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 it metaphorical strength, it once more charges its figurative gun, ana tbursts it on the. unhappy Radical organ of political criticism. Wednesday. saw its whole armoury of invective and vituperation conceit, trated against its quondam friend and.; ci-devant valued contributor, the Rev. SIDNIST Gonoormy- OSBORNE, the re doubtable S. G. 0. of the Times. Tuesday was a day especit ally set apart for abuse of the , Scotch in , general, and of:Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON in particular; Thursday. and Saturday were the days devoted to the abuse of all corners ; so that the whole week was expended in the urtdignified as well ati 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 it 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. danunciations of the self-elected deity., Poor S. G. 0, in delivering an address to those whom the Times flails " 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-iiiportant subject of the Times—its special fund --its violent vituperation of our Generals and our military system—its erudite suggestions upon strategio 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 ,nflated god ? Last and saddest of all, Sir ARCHIBALD ALisox, and many of his countrimen, 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, Sif ARCHIBALD ALISON, 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 ARCHIBALD ALISON condemned the shallow criticism upon militarimatters 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 THEE,- 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 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 ICEmBLE or *Truant MURRAY, in the character of Cassio, showed how a gentle man could deport himself when drunk. At the Haymarket Miss BLANCHE PANE wins her way steadily and derservedly in popular favour ; and she is well supported and played np to by Miss SWANBOROUGH. RELIGION ANTI ITS TEST TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND/kitty: Sts,—There is one test by which, bette r th an 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 mere 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 over 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. The 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; if it occurred anywhere else but in the Bible. But coarse, orpolite, 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 par 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 the masses 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. IVlrAt'l'd6 intend is this,—that thereis-more profession of religion' than practice of love; and, consequently, that there must be alarge amount of insincerity somewhere:- In proof of my charge I . would point to the various• ohariMble institutions, and especially at this moment to the Infirmary. The history of each one is a history of struggles to keepabove 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 wheedling 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,: - andl doubt not that many a- man of kindly feelings has bad those feelings hardened, by discovering the roguery which had talc. ceeded in exciting them. Ido not say that such ought t 6 be the result ; and I: am quito awe that where true religion , exerts , its influence, it will- not.. The discovery of imposition will: make the charitable man more carefal, but will not convert his -love 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- negiteting 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 marnge-- ment they are placed. And yet; in Liverpool,. such an institn4 tion as the infirmary is allowed to run Into debt, and languish. , for want or funds: :and I mention thiskistitution, 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 arebad, , it will be said ; and war4taxes3 combined witlf. war-Prices,mxll . not permit , : people -to give as much as they could wish.... A-good lexcuserrio ddubt,. in. the mouth of one who has hitherto given .as-,much, •as , rigid: self clenial would enable him_ to give. But the fact is,-that few ever deny them— selves to give at all ; and most-of those whodb. give, do so of their superfluity. The reply so 'often reeeived, "I cannon afford it," does not mean, 2.have it not, but,. I have it not to , spare ::in other words, if I give I rennet . . have all I want for. myself, and. therefore I willinot give. Aa , for. the war, I knew- I that it costs money ; and 1 ;fear that it will cost a vast deal',. l , more yet before it is •finisiied. But whatrtbert ? It was not only commenced with the , fullcconcurrence.of the people in aIE ranks, but was Galled for by them ; and,. now that they have - got the Mir which they demanded, are they to expect God to pay for it ? Undoubted*, they who endeavour to countet. , -H balance their increased expenditure by diininisliing or wholly, withdrawing their alms, do, so far. as intthent lies, endeavour . to make Him pay for it.. And.this the3r would perceive, ifen.4, 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.idisgraee to the town„ and gives the lie to nine-tenths of the religious profession of , which, e hear so muclt And if;this botrue i as I heard a peat: Mayorof Liverpool publicly assert some time ago, that all tha charities.. in , the totent,are -tupportedi'by thirteen hundioede indivichials, the disgrace is much deepen than at a first glancee, appears,-,--I am, Sir, your's, ,Sre„ X., Y PROPCSED • NEW - CHURCH.

The pressing want that exists of farther church. accommo dation is deinceistrated by the fact, that, (notwithstanding Mr. Caine's figures, which are as._grossly inaccurate in this case as. in that of'St. John's,) the church of St. Chrysostom is often inconveniently crowded—that families wishing to engage pews. therein have generally to :wait some months before they can, be accommodated—and that seat-holders, though they, reach the church before the service has commenced;, often find their sittingsoccupied by strangers. There isnt present- plenty of vacant land at the: back Wellington-terrace, West Derby-road, which would be a cen tr4and excellent situation for a new church; ; but as.buibling 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, befoxeany other buildings am put up. Oh, that such a custom, with, a. purer motive, existed; in England.

Sin,—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 maybe and i s 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 Bulhorusts, who are gloating THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 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 em 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 tosome extent done so. But there is no general public* lighting by gas, although it has become a necessity. " Thereis no local supply of water but that obtained from open wells- andpumps, or rain-water. Many of the wells.are shallow ; and, as' cesspools 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 o puinps, and rain-water tanks- or cisterns, is considerable. A well and pump, it is stated, may, in many cases, cost £2O, and.los. per annum for repairs: Rain-water cisterns cost in proportion to their size, and this-may be from 10s., the cottager's tub, to £lOO, the cost of Slate, Leedom cement-lined cisterns hi larger* houses. Pump-water' 'must beearried, and this adds materially to its price, even tothe poor. Water may be supplied , to a local board in bulk, by any company, at a much less cost - than individuals can obtain it o or a local board may construct works for the ratepayers which shall give each a supply within the 'house, and also haze water at command for public purposes, fires; street-washing, flashing sewersoand other purposes. "The evidence proves thatTeverprevails in the townships. 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 vexed question of importv tion andcontagion need not be arg,ned; neither is it necessary to provethat excess of disease prevails, to-show how desirable' it is thatadditional local power for good , ,Foverament should be granted. Sewers require tb- be formegoo or houses cannot be drained;- and where there are - cesspoolS; , .. either within or without the walls of dwelling , houses, • there will be excess of disease. foul ditches poison the - atmosphere; and unformed roads generate wet and discomfort. "The population of the township of Great Crosby, in 1801, was 425; in the year 1851, it had 'become 241/38: and Caere has been an accelerated rate of increase since the- censuo, There has not been much increase in the adjoining- townships, which remain purely , agricultural. Little Crosby township con tained, in 1801' i . 317 persons ; in- 11351; 407: persona.

"RECONME3DLIPOtfEf.—Taking- into consideratiOn the wishes of the inhabitants within the -townships of Great Crosby and Litherland, I beg to recommend that's new boundary be formed ; to be calleci "'Waterloo."

In the course of hib-remarks, Mr. Ratwlinson throws out some ' eminently practical: eumestions for remedying the evils wl iat,. are demonstrated in theevidence to. cistoand the remedy of which is counselled. in...the report. He says, in reference tto Crosby, "many nuiSaneesexist throughout:the township, which: cannot be remedied under the Highway:A6t: The village re quires to be sewere4and in accomplishing this work facilities may be given for land: drainage. Public lights will be a great convenience, and one -local governing, bodk can alone ar. range for these azii,other improvenzents. at She least cost." So in regard to Litherland, he- observes,. "The villages Tequire works of ihaprovement ; fever- is common ; the , guardians cannot in the work necessary ; and if extended, powers be not nuisances -will increase with the addition of population." While fuhl concurring in the value• of the suggestions : we would call special attention to the assertion which we have marked in italics. Its importance: obvious to every over. and its truth.willbe gainsaid by few. If this proposition be granted, would: it not be for the bite: rests of the proprietors and other ratepayers in these town,- ships to pause in their. solicitation Dar a, separate application off the Public Healtli.Act.?

Bysach co-operatien.they could be at once and effi ciently supplied 'in reference' to„water, sewerage, and light : by the isolated plan they may indeed ultimately effect a the, rough sanitary reform in both' townships, but it is more-than merely woblernatic that they-will' be able to do so with wpm' efficiency- and celerity, as if united, in a general measure of the eamenakare, in common with the borough of Liverpool, THH. CHAMBER OE COMMERCE AND MONETARY AFFAIRS. A requisition was,.ou .Thursday, addressed to the , chairman of - the Chamber of Commerce, requesting him.to call a meet ing of the Chamber, to consider what course 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. ands,H. Littledale and Co.; Molyneux, Taylor, and Co.; Thomas,Haigh and Co.; R. Zwilchenbart, Forer, and Co.; Buchanan, Brown and Co.; and other influential names, and was presented on Friday to Mr. Edward. Heath, chairman of the Chamber, by Mr. J. Torr, (Littledale and C 0.,) Mr. Charles Parker,. (Sandbach, Thine, and C 0.,) Mr. Thomas Haigh, Mr. Ravenscroft, Mr. M. S. Beckwith, Mr.. G. Griffith, and Mr. H. C. Beloe. Mr. Heath said, ha 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 bad. urged, and it could only hope 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 members, 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 Monday, (yesterday). The deputation then withdrew. _ ~■ A USTRALIA. TEE ship Marco Polo, Captain Clarke, arrived on Saturday from Melbourne, with adfices to the 25th July, 350 passen• gers, 125,000 ounces of gold on freight, 450 bales wool, and 120 tons smelted copper. The Royal Mail chip 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 £70,729 145.; 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. W. A. Eyre, who formerly held a commission in the British army, had committed suicide by cutting his throat. He has a wife and laige family in England. On the voyage he had been drinking to excess. At Geelong a numerously attended meeting of Scotchmen 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 200 miles by railway, the consideration for - which has. to be paid by the producer of the . woos,• and the consumer (notwithstanding the extra cost) b at a greater disadvantage. This- will be obviated as soon as sales are properly com mencect 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 Scotdr banker, "five bales out of every hundred" are taken for freiglt from Sydney to London more than from Melbourne to Liverpool. If the clip of Port Philip is esti mated at £1,000;000,: 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 establishediin 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 thelast two months have been limited, nearly the whole being taken for consumption at extreme rates-. Good description of mutton selling- at £6O to £65.
