At such a crisis as the present, the loss of the services of such a man is a national calamity. Every groan of the wretched pauper in his bastile prison —every pang of the suffering factory child —every try of op pressed humanity within the realm--appeal to the hearts of Englishmen to be up and stirring in the endeavour—and what a paltry one it is for a nation ! —to strike the fetters from the limbs and the soul (for such slavery shrivels the limbs and the soul both) of the man best fitted to contest successfully in a cause so high and holy. Already, as will be seen by an advertisement in our columns this day, the attempt, in his own immediate neighbourhood, has been made, and attended by a considerable amount of success; and measures are being taken to bring the claims of this honest and sincere patriot, and friend of the human race, before the consideration of the public of Liverpool. A meeting, to carry out the success of this effort, is, we understand, shortly to be held in Liverpool, at which Mr. Walter, of the London Times, Mr. Ferrand, M.P., and other distinguished friends of Mr. Oastler, and advocates of the same good cause, will be present ; and we do not, we are confident, so far underrate the attach ment of our fellow townsmen to those principles, for which Mr. Oastler has suffered, as to fear that we are wrong, in predicting that the response to an appeal in his favour will be worthy of this loyal and Conservative town. CAUTION TO ENGLISH REPEAL WARDENS.--The in. solence and faithlessness of the Irish mendicant and traitor have often been exhibited towards those of his dupes whom h e cou ld ill treat w i t h supposed impunity ; and an instance of these qualities is this day to be found in our columns. A party in Pr scot (whose name will be seen appended to a l e tt er a dd resse d to t h e former object of his idolatry—Daniel), in the fullness of his heart, in dited, and printed, we suppose, a placard address to the Roman catholics in his locality; and with the pride of authorship strong within him, forwarded his production to O'Connell himself. Did he receive for his zeal the thanks of the frequenters of the Corn Exchange,--a mural crown, or any thing of that sort? Oh, no ! Had he his produc tion returned, with a paternal rebuke, to be treasured in all his after life, as a mark of the notice of him by a great man ? Not that either ! our correspondent—repeal warden as he was—had his placard simply enclosed to the inspector of police at Prescot---a tolerably fair hint to that functionary that a prosecution of the writer would be very proper ! Such conduct—such treachery we may call it—requires no comment of ours. Let it be a hint to Englishmen, whatever their politics, to trust Daniel for the future as little as possible. The fellow would hang all his generation for the price of the cordage required for the operation. e charitab ordinary forms of ti Itibband tribuna a which lot give evident 1, or the blood at its victim! 11 cannot influence them suppose that those missives Juries cannot convict suspended verpool back to Lancaster! Every body must na. ly imagine that the arrangement, made a few years back, by which the assize business of the southern division of the county is transacted at Li- 00l was one likely to conduce greatly to the ad- vantage and convenience of the entire community affected by it, and to promote the cheap and speedy administration of justice. At the time when this arrangement was made, the people of Manchester were as sanguine, with respect to its benefits, as the people of this town. But a change came over the temper and spirits of our neighbours. Easily approachable as was Liverpool, by railways, from all parts of the county, it was contended that - -- --- Manchester ought to have assizes of her own ; that it was beneath the dignity of her attorneys, wit nesses, policemen, and other frequenters of courts of law, to have to travel to Liverpool, and remain, pos sibly a week or two, out of the hearing of anti-corn law agitation, and thwirmth and luxury, (t o t h em ) , of an atmosphere onningled smoke and steam. Fussy lawyers and local patriots were indignant at the thought that for any thing —even a sentence of transportation or the treadmill —the town of Man chester should be dependent upon Liverpool; and the issue of months of this kind of vapouring was an unsuccessful application to her Majesty in coun cil, to permit the causes and prisoners from the hundred of Salford to be tried at the New Bailey Court-house. This application having been met with a negative —for the very obvious reason, amongst others, that a large manufacturing town, the centre of a large and excitable manufacturing population, is not the most convenient place for the due administration of justice--we concluded that the question was set at rest ; and, in the best spirit, the authorities of our town set about the providing of the best arrange ments in their power, for promoting the comfort and convenience of their Manchester friends. The cause list was divided, and precedence given to causes from the hundred of Salford. Every other practical facility was offered, and, with a liberality not, it would appear, sufficiently estimated, we sat about the construction of the magnificent building now erecting, on the site of the Old Infirmary, for law courts. We were wrong, however, it appears, JOHN GLADSTONE, ESQ., & DR. CHALMERS The public, north of the Tweed, have recently been fa voured with copies of a correspondence between Mr. Gladstone and the venerable leader of the non-intrusion party, Dr. Chalmers, which, as it tends to exhibit, in somewhat striking colors, the present attitude of the Rev. Doctor with respect to the Church of which he was once a most illustrious member and champion, and the friends by whom he was once looked up to with almost unlimited confidence, we propose to give here, in substance at least, to our readers. The facts of the case upon which the gentlemen in ques tion came into collision we shall give as briefly as we can, from the more detailed statement of them contained in Mr. Gladstone's letters to the rev. gentleman and to the editor of the Montrose Review. Impressed with a sense of the want of church accommodation prevailing in Leith (his native town), Mr. Gladstone proposed supplying that want by the erection there of a new church, at his own expense; and knowing Dr. Chalmers personally, he applied to him for advice,as to the best mode to carry out his views, premising to him that the only condition on which he should proceed would be that the patronage should he se cured to himself and his heirs, subject, as in similar cases, to the legitimately authorized laws and regulations of the Church of Scotland. The inducing reason of this stipula tion, on the part of Mr. Gladstone, was to prevent bicker ings and dissension among the congregation upon the sub ject of the election of a minister, two instances having then recently occurred in Leith, where, the patronage beirg in the hands of the people, division bad arisen, which, in both cases, terminated in appeals to the Court of Session. Dr. Chalmers expressed his approbation of the " inten tions, conditifons, and motives" of Mr. Gladstone; ex pressed his confidence of their being agreed to by the Ge neral Assembly, and offered his support " without condi tion or qualification," on two distinct occasions. On the faith of these assurances and promised support, confirmed at many interviews, Mr. Gladstone purchased land at Leith, on which he built the church proposed by him. Here, then, was the position of Mr. Gladstone and Dr. Chalmers respectively up to the year 1842. Dr. Chalmers had, in the first instance, given his assurance of support to the principle, upon which Mr. Gladstone proposed the erection of his new church in Leith. Re lying upon that assurance, the latter gentleman had erected and endowed, at an expense of about £lO,OOO, the Church of St. Thomas, a manse, and two school houses. The application to the General Assembly, for a confirmation of his rights of patronage, was supported by Dr. Chalmers, on the 27th of May, 1839, in a speech which contained the remarkable expression that " the question of patronage he treated as did Gulliver the question of big ends and little ends. He did not care what end of the egg was uppermost; what he wanted was to get at the egg." Subsequently to the confirmation of his right of patronage, Mr. Gladstone, at the expense of another £lO,OOO, added to the Church of St. Thomas, and endowed, "an asylum for receiving and supporting a limited number of females suffering from complaints con sidered to be incurable; " and the spiritual interests of these females, together with the schools, being entrusted mainly to the superintendence of the minister of St. Thomas, rendered their founder still more anxious for the preservation of his privilege of exercising the right of presentation, s:hich, in two instances, he has already done to the full satisfaction of the new parish, which had thus been formed by him. Thus situated. thd lapse of Dr. Chalmers—his adviser, and author of the guarantee upon the faith of which he had benevolently expended no less than £20,000,—t0 the non patronage party, which regards an established church as "a nuisance to be swept away," excited, naturally, some amazement and misgiving in the mind of Mr. Gladstone. The Doctor, lie began to see, had "got his egg "—the £ 2 o,ooo—treating, "as did Gulliver the question of big ends and little ends,"—the promised perpetuity of Mr. Gladstone's patronage—withiperfect contempt ! He was now clamouring, with Candlish and the rest of the voluntaries, for the abolition of that very patronage which he had assisted in giving to the founder of St. Thomas ; and under these circumstances, on the 6th of June, 1842, Mr. Gladstone addressed to the rev. agitator a letter, recalling to his mind all the circumstances which we have detailed above, and putting the following home questions " I beg to enquire how and in what manner you pro pose to indemnify me for the right and interest you are thus most actively using all your powers and influence to deprive me of? What have I done to merit such treat ment at your hands? And how do you propose to repair the wrong you would, in my humble opinion, most in consistently and unjustly inflict upon me?" To this letter, written throughout in the best spirit, the rev. doctor did not find convenience to reply; and on the 22d of the same month Mr. Gladstone again addressed him, intimating that, in the event of his again remaining unanswered, he should publish his own letter ; but that if he did receive a reply he should be determined, by its nature, as to the course he should pursue. "At last, (says Mr. Gladstone,) I received his answer, long and laboured, but highly ingenious ; what some straight forward people may probably call jesuitical, when com pared with his previous conduct; but the substance of it was to tell me he had changed his opinions, and that he had a right to do so. I therefore considered my case,as far as it depended on him, as hopeless, and gave up the idea of carrying it farther, but waited for the chapter of events." No publication therefore ensued. Mr. Gladstone was satisfied that, so far as Dr. Chalmers was concerned, he had been duped ; and considered the question at an end. But not so the doctor. Stung by some letter which ap peared lately in the columns of the Montrose Standard. which be attributed to Mr. Gladstone, Dr. Chalmers, after an interval of a year and a half, has himself pub aNtiirtthttarr."ZeintiMsltterNstlY'lliftrecllP, teti l ?gil*" Yet . Wit tical" letter, in which the circumstances between them, and especially the writer's position past and present, are thus sought to be explained and justified. " When you did me the honour," writes Dr. Chal mers, "of asking my advice on the subject of a new church and parish for Leith, I had but one object at heart—and that was the religious good of the population there. I conceived this also to be alone your object, and felt most grateful for the large and liberal provision you offered in furtherance of this sacred interest. " I confess that your right as a patron, viewed in the light of a secular or patrimonial interest, did not once enter into my thoughts. I felt that I had no other duty in giving the advice that you desired of me, than to state what appeared to me the likeliest and most practicable scheme for setting up an efficient parochial economy for the destitute families of that locality which you had fixed upon. Had I conceived that, over and above the ac complishment of this object, I was helping to provide you with a title to complain of our General Assembly— when in the exercise of her high vacation, she judges what is best for the good of our people, in any new cir cumstances which might arise—l never would have been a party to any such negociation. I should have declined all converse with you upon the subject, had I contem plated the possibility of its being turned into an argument for the abridgement either of my own liberty, or the li berty of that Church of which I am a member, to pro nounce our own honest and conscientious convictions of what we hold to be fittest and most effectual for the moral and religious benefit of the people of Scotland." It is painful, truly painful to contemplate the moral obliquity displayed in this, the only portion of the letter in which the question at issue is touched upon, the re mainder being upon the general question of Non-intru sionism versus the Church. The first passage can be viewed (with all respect to the clerical character) as little better than an evasion of the facts urged by Mr. Glad stone in the letter to which this is a reply. The doctor says that, in his furtherance of the plans of Mr. Glad stone, he had at heart only the religious good of the po pulation at Leith, and that he conceived this also was the sole object of Mr. Gladstone. But the latter, as Dr. Chalmers well knew, had his own views as to the mode in which the good proposed was to be effected. The pos session of the patronage of St. Thomas was the condition on which Mr. Gladstone advanced his money. Such possession was guaranteed, so far as it could be, by the doctor, and was pleaded for and voted for by him in the General Assembly. Was the doctor, at that time, play ing a double part—" getting his egg," by what deceitful arts he cared not ? Mr. Gladstone himself seems to sus pect as much The second passage quoted is sheer trifli.ig and subter fuge. "Had I conceived," said the doctor, " that I was helping to provide you with a title to complain rf our General Assembly, &c." The question, we beg to assure the doctor, is not at all one in which the General Assem bly is concerned. It is his own character for fair dealing that is concerned. The public want to know (for it is now the public's affair) how Dr. Chalmers reconciles with his sacred character, or his character as a man, a deliberate breach of a pledge deliberately given. It is Dr. Chalmers who was seeking to injure the property of Mr. Gladstone, and not the Assembly at all. We must here leave the controversy. It will be in structive to the public ; but upon the reputation of Dr. Chalmers it is, we fear, little calculated to confer addi tional lustre. ENLIGHTENED, LIBERAL, ANTI• CORN-LAW ROCH DALE.—RochdaIe, or Rochdale', immortalised by Tim Bobbin—immortal still more as the birthplace of John Bright—has at length reached the prmter-pluperfection of immortality ! Within the past ten days its millowners and others have contributed nearly £3,000 to the funds of the Anti-Corn-Law League ; and great has therefore been the glorification of Rochdale—the Athens of the manufacturing districts—the centre and quintessence of Lancashire civilisation ! But one speck—one blot—upon the brilliancy of its fame has unfortunately been allowed within the same period to be fastened. In the absence of " the schoolmaster "—at some Anti-Corn-Law meeting, we presume—the enlightened (!) mobocracy of Rochdale has been amusing itself by a freak of very questionable character. A handbill is just now before us, which an nounces the performance of the peculiar species of Olym pic games practised in this locality—viz., climbing a greased pole, catching soaped pigs, jumping in sacks, and other athletic sports, Aye, and Old English sports too ! exclaims the reader. Admitted ; but these are not all. In addition, we find announced a contest between pro fessors of the art of eating hot porridge I—and another, more mare still, between adepts in the science of " LICK ING TREACLE "!! The very idea that any portion—the rudest even—of the population of philosophic, enlight ened, Anti-Corn-Law Rochdale, should descend to por ridge-eating and treacle-licking for money—perhaps to be contributed to swell the League fund—is so outrage ous, that we trust we shall be informed how it can occur, in a locality whose population can spend £3,000 at once in Anti-Corn-Law agitation, that even half-a-dozen peo ple could be found so disgusting in their tastes, as to enjoy the sight of human beings degrading themselves to the level of the brute creation. Do the liberal millowners and manufacturers of Rochdale spend anything in the duty of educating and civilising the poor slaves, who toil to enable them to squander money so profusely ? Perhaps some correspondent will give us some little insight into this subject.

The company (and a few others) have imparted to it a very different aspect. Their own land—including the site of the works—is about 30 acres, and the whole is laid out in streets, and nearly covered with comfortable cottages in varied and distinctive styles uniform in the several streets, mostly so detached in two or four together with small gardens as to appear like rows of separate little villas, with shops here and there, public-houses, &c. They are of two stories, some with projecting centre pieces having elevated piqued roofs, the bottom part of which for m p orc h es f or two dwellings; others, termed " block-houses with piqued wings at the ends in the form of the letter I. These, as the others, are in the old English style, and consist of 4 domiciles each, and are apart and enclosed, with their little gardens in front, enclosed by parapet walls of brick. About twelve months ago the population was about 1000 ; it now amounts to double that number, of which about 1,150 are families supported by the employment given by the Com pany, who own 250 of the cottages and are about to build many more-33 of them as quickly as possible. We noticed Prince Albert -street, Sandon-street, Man chester-street, Liverpool-street, Copenhall-street, Dela mere-street, Chester-street, Church-street, Queen-street, the Terrace, facing the Liverpool line &c., but we must not dwell upon the juvenile city lest some of our readers should become jealous of its threatening importance ! The whole (as well as the works) is supplied with gas (with street lamps) by the new works of the Com pany, and also with water from their water-works, at which there is an immense reservoir from which it is forced and filtered. The cottages are chiefly rough-cast ; covered with blue slates floored with diamond shaped red and brown tiles, and have a remarkable clean and comfort able appearance. The station-houses adjacent are hand some and commodious, and there are three fine bridges over the respective lines here meeting,--the Chester bridge (of three a rc h es ), t h e Liverpool Bridge, and the Crewe Bridge over the general line southward, at the sta tion. There is a range of temporary schools in operation and well attended, for girls, boys, and infants respectively, and a new pile for schools is in course of completion, also an assembly-room, committee-room for magistrates, &c. The Company have fitted up an appropriate portion of their buildings as a temporary Church of England, and have appointed their own chaplain—the Rev. Mr. Apple ton—who is much respected in his pastoral office as well as in private life. This is neatly and appropriately fitted up ; accomodates between three and four hundred persons, and though there are many dissenters of numerous de nominations, including a Wesleyan and a Primitive Christ ian Chanel, it is crowded on Sundays to inconvenience. The locality is undulated, and in summer picturesque and pleasing. The only present inconvenience to strangers is the slutchy nature of the clay soil ; for though the streets are laid with gravel, with footwalks, the yet want of tho rough drainage is much felt and we need scarcely ad vise " dandies " to make a brief sojourn among the " Creweites." As an instance of the rapid rise of the village, we may state that the men first sent by Messrs. Holme to build the works, had upwards of four miles to go for lodgings.

ST. GEORGE'S, MANCHESTER. —On Tuesday evening a sermon was preached in this church, by the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, and a collection made towards defraying the debt incurred by the recent repairs of that edifice. ASSAULT.—Three fashionably dressed young men, named Hugh Dennely, William and George Hughes, were brought before Mr. Rushton, yesterday, on a charge of having, on Sunday night, while in a state of intoxication, shamefully kicked and maltreated a young lad in front of St. Thomas's Church. The case having been proved, they were ordered to pay a fine of 20s. and costs, or to be imprisoned ten days. FOUNDERING.—On the 27th of October last the:Ellen, of Maryport, left Runcorn for this port, with a cargo of coal, and has never reached her destination. There were two men and a boy on board—the captain, John Smith Burnside of Mabie, the mate, John Ritchie, and his son, Samuel. The vessel was spoken on the afternoon of the same day by the Mary Ann Craik, when rounding the light ship, about 20 miles out of Liverpool. Capt. Smith was principal owner of the ship, which was not insured. It is too much to be feared that the vessel foundered at sea, and that all hands were lost. She was very heavily laden.—Dumfries Courier. SOUTHERN' AND T OXTETH H OSPITAL. --A. charity sermon in aid of this most va l ua bl e i nstitution was preached at St. Barnabas's Church on Sunday afternoon, by the Rev. Thomas Nolan, A.M., the incumbent. The reverend gentleman selected for his text the 48th verse of the 16th chapter of Numbers: " And Moses stood be tween the living and the dead, and the plague was stayed." The collection, along with one or two donations received since, amounted to £6l. The Mayor, dressed in his robes of office, and accompanied by several influential gentle men of the town, was present on the occasion. It is a gra tifying circumstance, as evincing the interest manifested by the poor in this admirable institution, that upwards of three pounds of the sum collected was in copper. evening. vi t a Off Voel Nar,t, at 1 p.m., No. 3,410, Montreal. b B 2 11, mot , ' Off Crosby Lightship, at 1 p.m., Su' thre e Sc k., from Penamuco.
