The German Journal of Frankfort states, that the house of Rothschild has given 100,000 f. for the foundation of an hospital at Jerusalem, and is building at its own expense a synagogue at Franfort. Slavery has virtually ceased in Ceylon ; in the following ' northen districts, Jaffna, 3lalagam, the Islands, Temoratchy, and Putchelepaly, where the number of Slaves was recently set down at 30,000, not a single slave has been registered. Mastustxx ALL—The Augsburg Gazette of the 12th instant states, that the intellectual faculties of the Pasha of E g ypt appear to diminish daily, and that in consequence he has yielded to his former violence of character, and as a proof mentions, that an officer who dared to interfere for some un fortunate fellahs, was ordered to be beaten to death. DECISION IN TEE SORER'S MUTINY CASE.—(From the N e w York Herald)—We have the pleasure of announcing the real and true decision of the court-martial and of the Government in the famous case of Alexander Slidell M'Kenzie, formerly the commander of the United States brig Somers. By this statement, it appears that in spite of all the efforts of an oligarchy here to acquit Captain M'Kenzie, and to trample on the rights, lives, and liberties of American mariners, the verdict of the court-martial stood—five for and seven for proven. In the Cabinet Council not (Se n'cprreotavrey Spencer absent), secretary Upshur alone was i n bis favour. Now, in a civil court, such a result would l e ave room for a new trial. In the present case Captain 311Cenzie escapes with the skin of his teeth from the highest penalty of the law ; but we feel authorised to announce, either that a new trial may be ordered, or that he will never be called to the public service, and may be dismissed from the navy on the result of the prosecution commenced against him by Wilson, of the 13 mile long knife! T H E FREES IN DENMARK—TORTURP. , I6 AN EDITOR.— FRANIFORT, MAY 9.—A transaction, scarcely credible, has lately taken place at Copenhagen. The ancient Danish laws for regulating criminal processes authorize:the judge, when there are strong presumptions against the accused, to inflict different kinds of torture to produce confession. Two modes a f torture are still retained in the laws Lashes on the na ked back with a scourge, having either knots or pieces of lead at its ends. 2. Solitary imprisonment in a dark dun geon for three days, and bread and water. On every fourth day the accused is placed in a cell into which the light is ad mitted, and then he receives the food commonly allowed to prisoners. Hitherto, no Danish examining judge bad put in practice these laws of constraint against journalists, or for any offences of the press. This unheard-of proceeding has reserved for the present time. Herr Hansen, editor of been paper called Faedrenelander, which is published in Copenhagen,thetily inserted in August last an article on the debt of the country. Two censors had allowed this article to pass, wa s quite forgotten by the public. However, at the and it of last the Danish chancery ordere a beinni n g progsecution ; Hansen month was , brought before Judge Gudenrot d h, who ordered him to explain the meaning of the article. The editor replied that he did not recollect the circumstances which induced him to write it, nor the ideas which were t h en pas sing in his mind. The judge insisted upon explana tiono, and as he did not obtain them, he ordered the unfor tunate journalist to the dungeon and bread and water. After being forty-eight hours in prison, he was attacked by violent cholic and vomiting. He then wrote to the judge that he would give any explanations that might be required o f him, but on the condition that his protest against the pro ceedings should be entered upon the minutes of his examina tion. This was agreed to, and after an examination, which turned upon matters quite insignificant, he was set at liberty. The unfortunate man has addressed a remonstrance to the ki t *, which has been referred to a council of state. STRIKE IN Txx POTTERIES.—The Potteries are again the scene of a strike. The colliers in the employ of Mr. Spar row, of Longton, who, it will be recollected, led the way in the turn-out last summer., have again left their work, in con sequence of a 'eduction in their wages of 3d. a day. At their first meeting, the men assembled expressed their deter. mination to maintain the public peace, and, as far as in them lay, prevent or suppress any violence being committed by the discontented. A second meeting was characterized by a dif f erent feeling ; man y of those assembled exhibiting a dis position to carry their e nd b y an y means, however violent. The district. however, is well guarded by troops and police, and the a uthorities are on the alert. Tins OUTRAGE AT MANCHIISTER.—We gave in our last the full particulars of an audacious outrage committed on a brickfield near Manchester, by a great number of turn-out brick makers. :nineteen prisoners were brought up before the magistrates as having been concerned in the commission of this offenc e, and after the depositions of the witnesses had b een taken, seven of the prisoners were ordered to be dis charged, and the remainder were committed to take their trial at the next L iver p ool assizes. The most serious charge against the prisoners is under the statute of the Ist Victoria, cap . 86, sec. 2, which enacts, " That whosoever shall bur glariously break and enter into any dwelling-house, and shall assault with intent to murder any person being therein, or shall stab, cut, wound, beat, or stake any such p erson , s h a ll be gu ilty of felony, and , being convicted thereof, shall suffer death.' It appears that the Messrs. Pauling do not manu facture bricks for sale, but only for their own nee; and they have in all, in different parts of the neighbourhood, about 30 acre s of brick-crofts, and are . manufacturin g not fewer than millions of bricks during the present s eason ; an d th e dtwiffeenrteynce of size in the moulds between the size prescribed by law and that . attempted to beenforced by th e soc i e ty o f operativoif they nttmate It about equal to Q 0 pc. gait, TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Sr. JOHN'S CH cmcn.---We must derline to interfere in the appointment of a minister to the 'vacancy at this church.

" Pensatore," when he wrote his latter, had of course not seen the Albion of yesterday, film whose columns we have transferred the chief portions of a communication interest ing to our correspondent. W'e ourselves heard the allu sions from the young gentleman, but, perhaps, it will be advisable not to refer to them further. We shall he glad to receive a letter from our intelligent friend in time for 1 Friday. ebe tiberpoot gPtanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 1843. Amongst the flippancies of which Mr. Cobden was delivered on Monday night, and for which the world so patiently waited, was one which, as he has more than once repeated it, he possibly considers to possess some weight. It would be most absurd, argues the apostle of the League, if manufacturers, because their operations were unsuccessful, were to approach the legislature and ask for assistance to maintain them in a healthy position. They asked for no law to keep up the price of their goods in the British or any other market. Now we rather imagine that this is as near as possible what the manufacturing body do ask from the legislature—that this is as nearly as can be the meaning of their cry for the repeal of the Corn-laws ! The manufacturing interest was depressed. They had overrun the necessities of their existing markets. They had produced goods for which there was no de mand. They had erected factories and drawn toge ther a manufacturing population for which there was no existing employment. And the Parliament of Great Britain was asked to find markets for those goods ; to give value to those factories and employment for that population, by the prostration of the agriculture of the country I What plea has been so common as that the warehouses of manufacturers were filled with unsale able stock ? What complaint more pathetically urged than that the capital invested in manufacturing pre mises could not be realised ? Why we have had at least a dozen times repeated, in Parliament, and a thousand times out of doors, the fact of one property —the mill at Gorton—being sold for a sixth of its cost I And we have had a thousand times repeated the same story about other properties in every part of the manufacturing districts. " The capital—the property of millowners—is de preciating daily in value." This has been the cuckoo note with which we have been assailed from the first hour of the existence of the Anti-Corn-law League ! " Stockport is depopulated ; Bolton is eaten up by poor-rates ; the mills at Ashton are shut up; the mushroom banks of Manchester are groaning beneath the affliction of dishonoured bills and worthless secu rities." These have been the ceaseless complaints of the League party for the last five years. And we have been asked to legislate—for what ? To give value to the empty mills and the empty houses and the worth less paper in question I We have been asked to legislate in order that speculators in mills, machinery, and bank shares, should be able to realise the amount of their investments ! It is true that we have not been asked that yarn should be fixed by the legislature at any particular price per pound ; that mousselines de laMes should be rendered worth eighteen pence per yard, or printed calicoes eighteen shillings the piece ; but we have been asked that legislation should take place, to mulct the possessors of one description of property, and one description of labour, in order that the improvident speculators in another should be borne harmless from the result of their own improvident speculation and extraordinary cupidity 1 Let us, for Heaven's sake, hear no more of this mare's nest of Mr. Cobden ! Let us hear no more of the extraordinary disinterestedness of League agitation; for, if the cry of that selfish faction to the legislature implies any thing more especially than another, it means this :—‘ 4 help us to prosperity at the expense of every other interest in the community !" " Once more—and for the last time—are the repre sentatives of agricultural constituencies about to be put upon their trial." " The debate on Lord STANLEY'S resolutions will be a debate decisive of the fate of county members, even more than of the fate of the agricultural producers of Great Britain. " There must be tolerated no shirking, no equitoca- lion, on this mighty question. " Let every man who shall vote in favour of Lord STANLUY'S resolutions know, that he is voting in favour of a virtual free trade in corn. " Wo to the county member who shall rote for Lord STANLEY'S resolutions ! W o to the trimmer who shall try to sustain our enlightened' ministers, at the expense of all the industrial interests of Great Britain and Ireland." (7 ! When the reader has recovered himself from the effect of the above astounding specimens of the furioso style of writing, he may perhaps be inclined to ask what patriotic housemaid has flung clown her sweep ing brush, and rushed, pen in hand, to discharge a volley of thunder so awful ? How infinite will be his wonder, when he is informed that the volley in ques tion is the performance of no less a personage than the editor of the Morning Post ! W o to you, county members, who presume to exercise your reasoning faculties in the House of Commons I You are to be swept away, for your perverse disobedience, by a whirl ' wind from the FANS of the empire ! In sober sadness, is it not wretched to witness a por tion even, however small, of the Conservatism of Great Britain misled by raving so absurd and con. temptible ? Is it not miserable to see thelefforts of a ministry—the only one which can stand between the agricultural and industrial interests of the empire and the howling fanatics by whom their very existence is threatened—embarrassed by an organ—a Conservative organ too !—which can be guilty of the perpetration of trash so utter and folly so suicidal as this folly of the Post ? " Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first deprive of reason ;" and if there be indeed—which, we thank Heaven, there are not—many members of the influential Conservative party in the country prepared to follow this blind guide, and to rush madly upon the outrageous course which he points at, then indeed is the battle for the maintenance of the agricultural pros perity of our country, and the permanence of her noble institutions, already fought AND LOST ! Then indeed may every Englishman, who has thus far rallied in their defence, lay down his arms and prepare to be trampled by the feet of their victorious opponents 1 The object, the effect, of the resolutions of Lord STANLEY, thus rabidly denounced, what are they? His lordship proposed to legalise a trade which has hitherto been carried on in a quasi-contraband shape. The corn of the western states of America has been of late borne over the frontier, and, after being manufac_ tured into flour in Canada, has been brought into con sumption here, as the produce of those possessions. The average duty which such flour has paid has not exceeded 2s. id. per quarter in this country, whilst the introduction of the wheat of the western states of America into Canada, duty-free, has operated as a se rious discouragement to the cultivators—being British subjects—of that colony. For the protection of those cultivators—for the promotion of the interests of a colony, which is the only home which offers itself for the thousands of our emigrant population—the Cana- dian legislature, relying upon the wisdom of the British Parliament and the sympathies of British agricul turists, have imposed upon American wheat crossing its frontier, a duty of 3s. per quarter, and they ac4k only to be placed by us in a position no worse than that which they previously enjoyed under the sliding scale, with ss. as its limit. `[hey ask for the flour of America, manufactured in Canada, and upon which they impose a fixed duty of 3s. per quarter admission into our ports at a nominal rate, instead of the trade being carried on, as heretofore, as a quasi-contraband trade. They give us, in fact, a fixed protection of 4s. in lieu of a fluctuating one, whose extreme is five shil lings, and whose average is two shillings and a penny! And this is the proposition, the support of which is to be " decisive of the fate of county members !" This is the propoition which e` cisciiive of the fate of the agricultural producers of Great Britain;" and to resist which the representatives of county constituencieswere urged to throw themselves into the insidious emtraces of the declared enemies of British cultivation ! For such was the modest demand made upon the country gentlemen by this very discreet (?) organ o f Conservatism and Puseyism—the Morning Port. We quote the passage in which this demand was made, and which, with our previous extracts, is to be met with in his publication of Thursday last. " Mr. Labouchere means to move the rejectico of Lord Stanley's resolutions. Well :—these resolutions eight to be rejected—although for reasons precisely the reverse of those which find favour in the eyes of Mr. Labouchere. The county member who shall vote with Mr. Labouchere, for the rejection of Lord Stanley's resolutions, does not, of neces sity, assent to Mr. Labouchere's unexpressed proposition in favour of free trade. No : in voting with Mr Labouchere against Lord Stanley's resolutions, each county member will vote—not for a free-trade proposition—but against resolu tions that tend to establish, virtually, freedom of trade in corn. Let Lord Stanley's resolutions be thrcvn out ; and, then, let Mr. Labouchere's proposition share by all means, the fate of Lord Stanley's resolutions." Yea, " Let Lord Stanley's resolutions be thrown out ; and then" --what ? The question was answered on Friday, by the feeling existing on the Stock Ex change of London, as described in the City article of the Times of Saturday. This intractable minority of county members would not be permitted to deal, after wards, with Mr. Labouchere's proposition, so leisurely as the Post supposes ; for Sir Robert Peel and his cabinet could never condescend to hold office for a mo ment, after a defeat upon grounds so fa:tious and senseless ! We thank the good sense of the great majority of the landed gentlemen in Parliament, that advice so maniacal will not be followed. And ths lesson we would, with all respect, read those few geltlemen who have permitted themselves to be deluded into an inju rious opposition to government on the question of these resolutions. We value, equally with them, the agricultural greatness of our country. We labour for its promotion with equal zeal, and we trust with greater discretion. We detest and denounce equally with them, and we trust more efficaciously, the designs of that factious body, by whose agitation the very existence of native agriculture is threatened. But whilst doing so, we cannct forget that agriculture is not ALL to which our country owes her greatness; that Berkshire, or Sussex, or Lincoln, or Leicester shire, or all these together, do not compose the British Empire! We have a mighty commercial interest, and an extensive manufacturing interest; we have shipping and colonies ; all bound together in mutual depend ence—all acted upon by the necessities of the age in which they are placed ; and we regard him as its worst friend, who attempts to persuade any one of these that it can exist in prosperity irrespective of that of the re mainder. We regard the Morning Post as such a friend ; and we implore of the sincere supporters of British agriculture to separate themselves from its counsels, and to throw aside those unworthy jealousies, and that course of obstructive annoyance, which can only result in the overthrow of—we repeat—TlLE ONLY MINISTRY WHICH CAN SAVE THE COUNTRY! LOCAL. NEWS. There are upwards of 1,300 private boxes in the Liverpool Post-office. In the House of Commons, on Friday, the Walton-on-the Hill Rectory Bill was read a third time and passed. FINES ON PUBLICANS, &c.—On Friday nineteen indivi duals were presented at the Police-court for violations of the recent act. Nine were publicans and ten beersellers. EMIGRATION.—There is, we understand, a considerable diminution in the number of individuals who have emigrated this spring, as compared with the number which had emi grated up to this period last year. The Rev. W. C. B. Cave, brother to one of the incumbent ministers of St. Philip's Church, in this town, has been pre sented by the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield to the vicarage of Hope, Derbyshire. The deputation in support of the Water Bill are still in London. The bill is strongly opposed in the Committee by the Liverpool and Harrington Waterworks Company. The promoters of the measure are, we hear, pretty confident of carrying it. The British and North American royal mail steamer the Acadia, Captain Ryrie, sailed on Friday for Halifax and Bos t(,n. She carried out about fifty passengers. The Hibernia, whic ► would leave Boston on the ltith and Halifax on the 18th instant, will be due at this port on Monday next. CHINESE EXHIBITION.—This exhibition is as well worth seeing as any thing at present in Liverpool. It is rarely that specimens so perfect and so varied are congregated together. The dissolving views are extremely pretty, and are very well manned. It is decidedly the cheapest treat for the sight seers going. SPIRITS IN STONE BOTTLES FOR SHIPS' STORES.- TheEmmissioners of Customs have ordered, that, as spirits are no longer prohibited, when in stone bottles not exceeding one quart each, such may be allowed , out of bond, for ships stores, if packed in cases containing not less than one dozen reputed quart bottles of stone, the minimum allowed when in bottles:of glass. PROPERTY AND INCOME TAX:—Our readers are perhaps not aware that the 4 per cent. discount allowed for prompt payment of the income tax, is only granted to those persons who are charged under a " number or letter," and who shall not pay less than two instalments at (Dace. Persons wishing to obtain this advantage, should fill up No. 6 on the second page of the notice paper. - - NEW SCHOOLS FOR THE WORKHOUSE CHILDREN AT KIRKDALE.-Our readers will not be generally aware that, under the new unproved system of management of the work house establishment now in progress, the children are to be accommodated at a separate branch building at Kirkdale, near the prison, to which suitable schools are to be attached for their useful and religious instruction. The foundation stone of this erection will be laid on Thursday next at twelve o'clock, by the Rev. Rector Campbell, who will be accom panied by the Churchwardens, and others in authority, r.s well as, we doubt not, by many of the parishioners interested in so desirable and laudable an object. The children of the Blue Coat School, and those of the other schools in con nexion with, or partly supported by the parish in various parts of the town, will be present. The procession will leave the Workhouse, in Brownlovv-hill, at eleven o'clock. Should the day prove fine, the attendance of the friends of the poor and of sound moral and religious education, will, we trust, he at once great and gratifying. A royal salute will be fired on the intended site from the r;orkhouse guns. DARING ROBURRY.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, (held in the Sessions-house,) two men, one calling himself Thomas Hughes, but supposed to be named Fitzsimmons, and the other John Smith, were placed before Mr. Rushton, they having been apprehended on strong suspicion of having broken into and robbed the house of Mr. T. I. Lowndes, provision dealer in this town, whosesides in Wavertree-lane. It appeared that on Wednesday night, or early on Thursday morning, the premises were entered by some thieves, who had forced themselves in defiance of locks and bolts, in the cellars and other lower apartments, undoing amongst other fastenings a very strong bolt, the socket of which had been inserted in the stone wall with lead, that was chiselled out, and getting into the wine and spirit cellar, from which, and other places they abstracted a number of bottles of whisky, some wine, a sirloin of beef, and other articles. On the morning of Thursday, about a quarter before four o'clock, three men were seen by Mr. Lowndes and others at a pit in a field near the house, busily engaged in extracting and fishing out something, which turned out to be sonic of the bottles of whisky that had no doubt been previously thrown in by the thieves. Mr. Lowndes immediately collared two of them— the two prisoners. One of them Fitzsimmons broke away from and struck him with one of the bottles, with intent to injure him, and broke it in the act ; but a neighbour coming up, both of the prisoners were secured, and given into cus tody. They were taken to Hotham-street Bridewell, and being overheard lamenting that a knife which one of them had, being taken front him, they were handcuffed together with a view to frustrate their intended attempt to escape. The handcuffs happened, however, to be rather too large for the younger prisoner, Fitzsimmons, and he contrived, after being again locked up, to disengage his hands, and it ap peared had ascended the chimney, breaking some bars near the top. This was not discovered until some little time af terwards, when one of the keepers on going into the cell found Fitzsimmons just coming out of the chimney place, probably to rest himself before he made the final attempt to escape b-r that exit with his companion, which they might possibly have effected (as was done by a prisoner some years ago,) by going from the top of the flue on to some houses and out buildings behind. They were then more effectually secured, and brought up in due time to answer the charge. Mr. Lowndes identified the whisky recovered, from its strong and peculiar quality, and more particularly from the wax on the top of the bottle (produced) with which he had been as saulted, and which lie had himself prepared and affixed. The third man seen with them is not yet captured. Both pri soners are known as notorious characters, Fitzsimmons having been twelve times previously committed for felony. They were both remanded, some further evidence being ex pected; and there can be no doubt they will be committed for trial. OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. —A good looking well-dressed young man, a minor, named John Frederick Edge, was yesterday brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of obtaining goods by false representation. lle had been committed last month on a charge of embezzling certain sums of money from hi s em ployer, and was tried at the present sessions, but acquitted on the ground of defective evidence and the good previous character given to him. It appeared thia about three hours after his release he had com mitted the alleged offence now imputed to him. Mr. Barnet Levi said, he was a cigar manufacturer, and his shop was in Great George's-street. Ile was aware that a person named Walter kept a g:ocer's shop in the same street. About three o'clock on Thursday afternoon last the prisoner went into his (Levi's) shop, said he was Walter, Si, Great Geor ge ' s _ the partner and brother of Mr. street, and wanted three boxes of cigars, at 12s. a box, adding, " You must take groceries for them weekly." lie took the boxes with him, nothing wrong being then suspected. On the following day Mr. Levi sent his boy to Mr. Walter's for some groceries, and . faom information which he brought Mr. Levi went himself, and found that the prisoner was - not brother or partner to that individual, and that he had given him no authority to procure the cigars. Information being given to police constable Kehoe, with a description of the prisoner, that officer appre hended him near the Exchange at noon on Saturday. The prisoner at first told Kehoe that he had got the cigars, and had mold them to a friend in Birming ham ; but he af terwards said that the latter part of thi s sta tement was untru e, and that one of the boxes was at M r. llild ec k' s , in Mount Vernon, and the other two at Miss Stubbs's, officer went to these parties, in Wavertrec. The anti found the boxes accordingly. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to 53y, said that he told Mr. Levi not to send u p t o Welter's sle : qi until he got an order from him (prisoner) ; and that Levi had pro mised him two months ago to take out the worth of the cigars in tea and coffee from bi m , if h e w ere agreeable. f prisoner was told lie might b e lib era t e d on bail for his ap pearance to answer the misdemeanour ; and as he was not quite of age, two Sureties were received in I;JO His Mambo " . 11 lam) rvaide near Binninghanii TIM DUBLIN MAIL Paciturs.---We learn from an ad vertisement, that, as soon as the Post-office authorities can make arrangements suitable, the Dubin mail packets will leave Kingstown at 9 30 p.m., instead of 10 30 p.m., as at present. We hail the acceleration of an hour with pleasure, inasmuch as both mails and passengers will, in most cases, be enabled to travel from hence to their respective destinations by the morning train at half-past ten. SHIP ST. PETERSUURGII.—This vessel, which many of our readers may remember was stranded on Taylor's Bank during the violent hurricane in January last, sailed for New Orleans a few days since. Through the facilities afforded at this port, she has been thoroughly and substantially repaired; and though she was so much shattered that many persons considered her not susceptible of repairs, she has been so completely refastened and strengthened in every part, that it is not possible to discover anything which would indicate she had ever been stranded. CAUTION' TO IMPORTERS OF PPOVISIONS.—Under the new law, the Customs have this week seized, at London, a parcel of American beef, because it bore a brand said to be in imitation of certain Irish brands : thus, " Prime mess beef." The officer contended, that New York, or Montreal, or some foreign place should have been added to the brand. However it transpired that the parcel had been warehoused on the sth January last, whilst the new law only applies to impor tations occurring " from and after" that very day ; conse quently, the seizure had to be given up. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—These pleasant gardens open for the regular " season" to-morrow evening. The grand la bleats this year consists of a representation of "the siege of Amoy," one of the most striking events during the late Chinese war. We understand, that for diversity of object, picturesque appearance, and general effect, this view sur passes all the others that have been exhibited in the same locality. Great exertions have been made to secure several novelties and additions to the amusements. The fire works will be of the newest inventions, and on an extensive scale ; the band engaged is a first-rate one, so that no stone will he left unturned to render the place attractive and agreeable to the public. LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—This evening Mr. Robert Addams, of London, the most pleasing and talented of all scientific lecturers, will commence a course of lectures upon voltaic and magnetic electricity at this Insti • tution. The experiments with which they will be illustrated are of the most brilliant and striking description ; and in addition to the costly apparatus of the lecturer, we under stand that a powerful Daniel's battery, belonging to the Institution, will be used for the first time in exhibiting the deflagration of metal, charcoal, &c., as well as exhibiting the decomposition of water. The whole range of the sciences do not admit of more beautiful illustrations than voltaic and magnetic electricity, and there is probably no other science from which so much is expected in the way of discovery. DEATH OF THE LADY OF DR. RAFFLES.—In our last we inserted a paragraph, calculated, quite unintentionally on our part, to cause considerable pain to the family of Dr. Raffles. The former portion of the statement we alluded to was taken from the Herald of the preceding day ; and whilst the proof containing it was being read, our reporter came in from the meeting in Great George-street Chapel, and informed us, with the greatest confidence, that Dr. Raffles had taken the chair; and on this assurance we appended the remark at the end of the extract from the Herald. We had no alternative but to strike out the Herald statement, or to add the remark attached to it ; and as we have had so many proofs of our reporter's care and accuracy, (for which all who know him will give him the fullest credit,) we were convinced that the announcement in the Herald was without foundation. Im mediately on discovering the mistake, we wrote to Dr. Raines, expressing our regret for the insertion of the painful paragraph, and giving him rather a fuller explanation than we need insert here ; and we have since received a letter from one of the doctor's family, expressive of their entire satisfac tion with our explanatory statement. We regret to say that the paragraph in the Herald was painfully true. THE FUNDS.—SATURDAY EVENING.—It is understood that the Bank directors have complied with the wish of the committee of the Stock Exchange, and will for the future allow no transfers of the permanent securities to take place on a Saturday after 1 o'clock, p.m. Public transfer days will henceforward be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri day. The attempt was made to enforce the new regulation to-day in reference to private transfers effected by the pay ment of the additional fee of 2s. 6d. each transfer ; but as some of the bankers complained that sufficient notice had not been given of the alteration, it will not be imperatively carried into effect till next week. The business of the English stock-market was conducted with more confidence to-day, and hence the favourable reaction in quotations, although the purchases made were of magnitude. Consols for money and the account left off 95i to Bank Stock, 1701 to 1801; Exchequer-bills, the advertised, 50s. to 525. premium, and the lid. bills, 565. to 58s. premium ; India Stock, 264 to 266 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 94i to ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 1001 to -I; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1011 to i; Long Annuities, 12i; and India Bonds, 655. to 675. premium. The specula tors in Spanish were strong buyers of their favourite stock, under the impression that the firmness of the new Ministry, as advised in the accounts received from the capital, will lead to the resumption of public business, and do away with that uncertainty which has for the last fortnight prevailed respecting the formation of a Cabinet to meet the wishes of the nation. This was sufficient for their purpose, and there fore they changed their operations ; and although there ap pears yet to be much doubt on the ultimata fate of the quick silver contract, still the advance obtained in the course of dealings with the Three per Cents. was equivalent to the fall of yesterday. This particular stock closed 30i to 1, and the Actives, 20a to Very little change occurred in the other foreign securities, which have scarcely in any one instance recovered from the general depression last noticed. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. left off 551 to ; the Five per Cents. 100 to ; Mexican, 29. E to 1; the Deferred, Si to ; Colombian, 24 to 1 ; Brazilian, 73 to 7 , 1 ; Belgian, 1021 to 1031; and Portuguese converted, 40i- to THE REFUSAL OF BAPTISM.—The Rev. Cecil Wray, In cumbent of St. Martin's Church, has addressed a letter to the Albion of yesterday, in justification of his conduct in refusing to admit as sponsors of Mr. Logan's child persons not in communion with the Church of England. The fol lowing are the principal portions of the rev. gentleman's letter :—" First, I must inform Mr. Logan and Mr. D. Logan, and also the public, to whom, instead of the bishop, they have thought proper to appeal in this case, that the office of sponsor is one of importance and responsibility con nected with the discipline of our Episcopal Church, and is not to he undertaken as a mere matter of courtesy and com pliment to parents. This will appear from the exhortation which the priest is directed to address to the godfathers and godmothers at the conclusion of the baptismal service : " Ye must remember that it is your parts and duties to see that this infant he taught, so soon as he shall be able to learn, what a solemn vow, promise, and profession he bath h ere made by you. And that he may know these things the bet ter, ye shall call upon him to hear sermons •, and chiefly ye shall provide, that he may learn the Creeds, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments in the vulgar tongue, and all other things which a Christian ought to know and believe to his soul's health." And, "Ye are to take care that this child be brought to the Bishop, to be con firmed by him, so soon as he * * is instructed in the Church Catechism set forth for that purpose. Secondly, 1 would show, from the canons of the Church, • who are qualified to discharge these duties. The twenty ninth canon, which is set up in most of our ehurches, pro vides, that "no person shall he admitted godfathers or god mothers to any child, at christening or confirmation, before the said person, so undertaking, hath received the Holy Communion." That this canon is speaking of members of the Church, and not of those who disapprove of the doctrine and discipline of the Church, hardly needs proof; for it is evident that such persons cannot, with any propriety, take a part iu those public services at all from which they consci entiously dissent. But the twenty-ninth canon places this beyond doubt, inasmuch as it expressly forbids, under pain of suspension, any minister from giving the Holy Communion u those "who refuse to be present at public prayers accor- , ding to the order of the Church of England." And the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and other canons declare impugners of the Prayer-book, ordination services, and episcopal gov ernment, "excommunicated." Now in the face of these canons, (to which I was charged at my ordination as far as possible to conform,) how can I, when publicly administering the sacrament of baptism, be justified in admitting as spon sors persons who not only have not received the Holy Com munion, but are not even members of the Church ; nay, more, who belong to the Church of Scotland, which rejects the office of sponsors as worse than useless ? Can e indeed, these gentlemen be disposed to discharge " their parts and duties," and to " see their godchild be taught what a solemn vow, promise, and profession he has made by them," when, RS Presbyterians, they reject the idea of a promise being made by sponsors on the infants behalf? Will they, indeed, take care that the chid be "instructed in the Church Cate chism," when they have the strongest objection to that form of sound words ? Do they intend "to briny their charge to the Bishop, to be confirmed by him," when the very name and office of Bishop is odious to them, and when they repu diate the ordinance of confimation as a relic of Popery ? I say, then, that I was compelled, by a sense of duty and pro priety, to act as I did on this occasion. To have done other wise would have been to violate the canons, to make a mock ery of one of our most solemn services, and to justify the sneer with which Dissenters are wont to speak of the office of sponsor." RUMOURED ARREST OF DANIEL O'CONNELL—The I City article of the Morning Post of Saturday, in noticing the transactions of the money market, states that " at the close of business there was a decided heaviness ;" but that," after the shutting of the market there was, it is understood, rather more firmness, owing to the reported arrest of Mr. 0' COn nett (I), the transactions entered into during the day being apparently founded altogether upon circumstances connected with the state of Ireland." The Stock Exchange people are, it is true, occasionally singular in the views which they take of passing political events; but we can scarcely believe any other than, as to the reason alleged for an improvement in the price of stocks on this occasion, our contemporary has been joked with by some wag, or has chosen to attempt a very palpable fraud upon his readers. Perhaps a more sub stantial reason fur such a feeling might be found in the result of the meeting of Conseryatve members of the House of Commons, held on Friday at the residence of the Premier, at which it is understood the Conservative opponents of the Canadian Corn Bill were induced to desist from their pre viously-determined course. DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. RE SOUTHERN.— Yesterday was appointed :for the :final examination of the bankrupt before Mr. Commissioner Phillips. Mr. Tyrer said that Mr. Barnes (of the firm of Barnes and Barrow, of St. Helens, the attorneys for the fiat) was unable to attend, and as, in consequence of a rule which had been made, their ma naging clerk could not conduct the case, he (Mr. Tyrer) had been requested by that clerk to take the bankrupt's examina tion. The Commissioner inquired who had made the rule referred to. Mr. Tyrer—lt was made in the other court( by Mr. Commissioner Skirrow.) The Commissioner—All the rules that I made are posted up in my court—l have made no rule at all of that kind. Messrs Barnes. and Barrow ar time attorneys in the case ? Mr. Turner—They are. The Commissioner—Well, then, their managing clerk is entitlee to conduct the case in their stead ; and I am fully confirmed in this view from term years' experience in Basinghall-street If any objection is made to this by the opposite side, I am bound to listen to the objection ; but if there is no objection made, and the managing clerk is the managing clerk of at torneys enrolled in this court, I shall conform to the invari able practice in town, and hear him. It would he very hard if this were not permitted. Mr. Bardswell, who appeared for the bankrupt, said he had no objection whatever to the managing clerk conducting the case. Mr. James who atten ded osa behalf of the assignees, said he had an objection to take to the balance sheet which if successful would render an adjournment necessary. His objection to the balance sheet was that it did not contain a single date. Mr. Follett, the official assignee, iu answer to the commissioner said that the balance sheet was very unsatisfactory and that he had no data to show the dates of the transactions, The Commis sioner then said " I cannot hold it to be a sufficient balance sheet, on the statement made me by my officer; and for the future, I beg it may be understood, that when it can possibly be done, I shall always expect the dates to the balance-sheet And I will tell you why. The balance-sheet is filed for the ?satisfaction of the creditors. To that, during ten days, they hive to resort. Now, it may happen, that with respect to their examination of the bankrupt, dates may be very material, inasmuch as the time that a debt was contracted being known what occurred before that may throw great light on the honesty or dishonesty of the bars! s opt. lam sorry that so loose a practice has hitherto presamiled as the omission of dates. There is another thing I may as well state, that in future cases, I shall always inquire from the official assignee with respect to the bankrupt's attendance on him, and with reference to hie statements en to his accounts end belenees ehfeti l kkall elways be guided by 113 retorti WAITING.—Of the numerous professors that have endea voured to establish themselves in Liverpool within the last fourteen years, none have met with the success which has at tended Mr. Thompson's practice in this useful art. ‘Ve need only draw the attention of those requiring his assistance to his advertisement elsewhere. DARING ROBBERY.—On Saturday morning week, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, the house of a gentle man, in Field-street Everton, was entered, during the absence of the family and servants, and wearing apparel to a very considerable amount taken from the premises. The entrance was gained by climbing over the back wall, and forcing ope❑ the back kitchen door. The thieves ransacked almost every drawer in the house, and took away several valuable suits of gentlemen's clothes, several ladies' dresses, a quantity of servants' clothing ; also a silver lever watch, and the works and dial of a time-piece, leaving the frame of the latter on the chimney piece. CAUTION TO PERSONS ENGAGING SERVANTS.—On Fri day a young woman, of decent appearance, was placed at the bar of the Police-court, charged with throwing a paving stone through the window of her mistress's residence, in Park-lane. It appeared that the prisoner was a servant to Mrs. Margaret Neale, the prosecutrix, and had been but a short time in her service. While there, however, she had absented herself on several occasions, both day and night ; and, being remonstrated with and discharged, she had re venged herself in the way described. It was stated in court that the prisoner was a well-known prostitute. On being asked what she had to say to the charge, the prisoner replied that she did not intend to do it. Mr. Rushton (with evident surprise): Not intend to do it ! Do you think you can throw a stone at a square of glass and not break it? You must pay the cost of the window, 2s. 6d., or he imprisoned seven days. THE SCREW STEAMER.—On Friday last a large party of gentlemen, interested in the carrying trade between this port and Manchester, met by invitation of the Old Quay Com pany to proceed down the navigation on a tour of inspection. Mr. Lingard and Mr. Guyton, agents to the compauy, con ducted the arrangements. The small screw vessel, which has for some time been running on the Mersey, was borrowed to convey the party, and formed an additional source of in terest on the occasion, from the proof afforded of the facility with which steam may now be employed on canals. A very handsome entertainment was provided, and nothing tran spired to interrupt the pleasure which all seemed to enjoy except a little rain towards the conclusion of the trip. This, however, only seemed to change the scene of action, for the whole party having retired to the cabin, several healths were drank, paying a just tribute of praise to the highly respects ble company that had given occasion to the day's enjoyment, and to the projectors of the vessel which conveyed them. MAINTENANCE OF PAUPERS.—The favourable reduction in the price of provisions is sensibly experienced in the co,t of the paupers in the workhouses. In the Liverpool Work house, the cost for food, for the quarter ending 25th March last, was is. 6id. per head per week. The reduction has been gradual, as follows:—For the quarter ending June, 1811, the cost was 2s. ; September, 2s. ; December, ls. liqd. ; March, 1842, Is. 10d. ; June, Is. 10,1 d. ; Septem ber, Is. 9:ld. ; December, Is. 7d. ; March, 1813, Is. 6:ld. As the number of paupers maintained is about two thousand the difference in the price of food only, for the paupers in the Liverpool Workhouse, if the present prices continue, wilt amount to about £2,383 less than the cost for the year 1841. Assuming that an equal reduction in the cost will take place throughout England, and that the paupers main tamed in the workhouses of the various unions average about 150,000, the !saving in the cost of in-mainainance tor food only will amount to £178,750 for the current year.—Poor law Guide. INQUESTS, BEFORE THE BOROUGH CORONER.—On Saturday, on view of the body of Jane Ratcliffe, a married woman, aged 31. The body was found on Friday morning lying in the cellar-hole under the house in which she lived, in Bay Horse Lane. She and her husband and some ac quaintances had been drinking freely on the previous evening, and, about eleven o'clock at night, she went out for a quart of ale, and nothing more was seen of her until she was found. On a post mortem examination it appeared that she had died in a fit of apoplexy, cansed by excessive drinking—Verdict accordingly. Same day, on the body of Hiram Lawson, aged 24, carpenter of the ship Edinburgh. On Thursday last the ship was being hauled out of the Prince's Dock, and the deceased was stationed in the wizen -chains, with a cork fender. By some means the rope attached to the fender slip. ped through his hands, and he fell from his position, and striking his shoulder against the quay in his descent to the water, sank, and did not again rise. He was picked up about a quarter of an hour afterwards, but was found to be quite dead—Verdict, " accidentally drowned." Yesterday, on the body of Margeret Lloyd, aged 24, deceased was subject to convulsive fits. On Tuesday evening last she was seized with a fit, and fell down the kitchen stairs. She remained in a state of insensibility until Thursday, when she died. On a post rnortem examination it was found that there was exten sive disease of the liver and stomach, together with congestion of the brain,—which last was the immediate cause of death. —Verdict accordingly. Same day, en view of the body of a recently born child, found in a field in the Park. The de ceased had lived for a short time, but had died from general debility.—Verdict, " found dead." NEW YORK PACKET SHIPS.—The Sheffield, Capt. Pop ham, which left New York on the 20th ult., arrived here on Friday ; and on Saturday the New York, Capt. Cropper, which left on the 20th, and the Siddons, Capt. Cobb, which sailed on the 29th, reached this port. The splendid new America❑ liner, " Liverpool," arrived on Wednesday. The latter vessel is described as an admirable specimen of naval architecture. The following are her dimensions :—Keel, 157 ft. ; length of main deck, 175 ft. ; spar deck, 188 ft. • beam, 36 ft. 9 in.; tonnage, 1077 ft. ; ditto, (new measure inent,) 1125 ft. ; depth of hold, 23 ft. 3 in. ; length over all, about 210 ft. She has accommodation for upwards of 400 passengers, and her between-decks are lofty and well venti lated, and run the whole length of the ship without interrup tion. The cabin accommodations are of the highest order, and the saloon, conjoining with the ladies' cabin further for ward, is 73 ft. in length. The decorations interblend the national " insignia" of this country and America in happy concord; and the whole of the woodwork being French po lished, has a most magnificent effect. The steering machi nery is on a new principle. On the rudder•head is fixed a quadrant of a cast-iron cog-wheel, which is moved by an endless screw on a transverse spindle, communicating by two bevel wheels, one of them on a long shaft or spindle on the larboard side, terminating in the steering wheel, in the front part of the house. On the top of the rudder there is a ►arge and strong grasshopper spring, (similar to those in carriages,) and placed vertically, to give play to the rudder in the event of its being struck by a heavy beam sea, so as to ease it as well as the helmsman from the effects of the concussion. This apparatus is well worthy of the inspection of nautical men. CORRESPONDENCE. [ADVERTISEMENT.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. STTI your paper of Tuesday last we find a report of a trial in an action for false imprisonment, in which we are the defendants, tried before the Assessor, on Monday last. It is an universally admitted axiom, Mr. Editor, that " law is not always justice, and of the truth thereof we think this case bears strong testimony—for, though the damages were but a shilling, we are saddled with costs. In your report it is stated that when the plaintiff was brought before Mr. Rushton " that gentleman discharged the case, and stated that he had good grounds for an action for false imprisonment and alsolor defamation." Any person ignorant of the facts of the case would natu rally suppose on reading this, that we had made an unworthy attempt to punish an innocent man, although the verdict of the jur: would tend to show that we had some grounds for the course adopted. Now, either we must have been sadly misled by circumstances, or the six witnesses we bad must one and all have committed gross perjury. Out of a court of law, and unobscured by the ingenious torturing of a paid and eloquent advocate, we should no doubt have received a different verdict, and even have saved the one shilling da mages. When the man was brought before the Stipendiary Magis trate, that gentleman dismissed the case, in what certainly appeared to us a most extraordinary and abrupt manner, so much so that two of our principal witnesses were not ex amined, nor was the case even properly attended to. We complain not of the decision of Mr. Rushton—it might or might not he in accordance with his notions of the legal bearings of the case ; but we complain—and we contend with justice!—of the remark he thought proper to make after the case was dismissed. His words were (and not as reported on the trial) " take care you dont have an action for false im prisonment." Mr. Rushton, in his speech at the Town-hall, on the 11th March last, says, " Every man who takes a share in public business must be willing in this free country to undergo the rough and honest criticism of a free press." We quite agree with Mr. Rushton in this his view, and take him at his word. Had he not thought proper to indulge in a remark which we take leave to think was irregular, gra tuitous, and uncalled for, in his capacity as magistrate, he would not have exceeded his duty. 9 iHis remark was totally irrelevant to the case before him, and it was injurious to ourselves, inasmuch as we are confi dent the man would not otherwise have had the audacity to bring his action for false imprisonment, and we should not have been taxed with the costs of an action for endeavouring to protect ourselves from pilfering servants. The attorney who conducted the case before the Stipendiary Magistrate de clined to act upon the " covert" advice so gratuitously given, and refused to proceed to trial with the action —strong presumptive evidence we think of the value of such a remark. We would venture to make same further comments, Mr. Editor, under the license offered in our extract from Mr. Rushton's speech, but do not wish to trespass on your kind ness in granting us space : our only object is to set ourselves right with our friends and the public in a case where, though we have failed to the extent of a shilling damages, we cont en d we were bound as respectable tradesmen to proceed with.

The Venerable the Chancellor of the Diocese was called to the chair, and at his call The Rev. HENRY CARPENTER implored the divine bless- ing upon the object of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting. It was a usage nificent and a striking spectacle which he s aw before hill Passing from the dim and dark light in the p assage w° introduced him into the room, and admitted at o nce into such a scene as that before him, was almost enough to s taggr e a man of firmer nerves than his, and overwhelm him hiy, he sight so suddenly presented to his view. (Ch eers.) looked before him what a spectacle might he venture to ea/ he beheld? He trusted he saw an expression o f the Chrts tian feeling, of the deep-rooted sympathy of the Christiansee, inhabitants of Liverpool ; and if he was not privileged to at that early hour of the day, the intellig ence and the an hood of Liverpool, he trusted, he saw the ladies before bin! representatives of all that could be felt by them—( their —a sure and unquestionable pledge for the reality of their feelings, by the fair deputations whom they had sen t, exhibiting the reality of their feelings by trusting them into the hands of those who were dearer to them, no doubt, than life itself. (Hear.) If he was privileged to ook around him, the platform, with its present company, presented an scene of abounding interest. If he saw in front of hint exhibition of the Christian feeling and the Christian sYmP at ! hY l d of this great and important town, he saw around and be him the individuals by whom that Christian feeling had heed excited, by whom that Christian sympathy was o sus tained , t who now had come to watch the progress of the fe elings which they had given rise, to stimulate to fresh exertions, and awaken to fresh efforts in the noble cause of Chrise_ tian missions. He saw around him, upon one side , °r the other, many veteran soldiers of the cross, many lie had borne the heat and burden of the day ; — ( bear)il, could trace many a deep line in their countenances woad " thought and anxiety whilst the progress of the Gospel he been watched and laboured for. He could see others, l‘i trusted, rising to supply the place of those fathers in t i a faith, destined to occupy the pulpit from which th e y slm". be removed, to carry forward that g reat and blessed work tizi which they all bad pledged themselves, and to which all were now preparing this day to renew their Pledg e ' ; might look forward, and his eye rested upon one individna whose colour and complexion had already arrested attention, (hear)—whom he must claim as the first fruits of Aft ieat whose presence hail been realized many a devout asticipationr of faithful men of former times, who seemed given i n answe to many an ardent prayer that had been breathed by the friends of this society—and the circumstance of whose ap pearing here seemed to open a new page in the history. of missionary enterprise, realizing the prospect of a ministry among converted Africans, and who might that fated, in God's p r o v idence, to unlock the doors of tba mysterious country, to unroll the veil which hitherto had covered its eternal destinies, arid to pour out the light of the Gospel in the interior of that land. ("eer') Upon every side, whatever object rested upon his eYe seemed calculated to awake the deepest and the te nderes! emotions of the breast; but when he recollected 30,, called to mind the object upon which they were assemble. when he recollected that the walls of that house were not tilledet with any of the multitudes that were from time to time as sembled there for some of the frivolous objects of hurn e „ 3 auibition, or for some still more frivolous object of bum amusement and delight,—when he recollected the object lo' which they were met, that it was to promote the enlarge ment of the kingdom of our blessed God, and fu rther a nd eternal eternal destinies of mankind, now waiting in suspense, 8 hanging upon the results to which they might com e to g —when he considered what the object of the meeting was! and the results which in God's good providence might follow, —when it was not the magnificent spectacle of many line° 0 f beings congregated in a a single place, it was not the blaze re! light that met the natural eye, and overwhelmed th e n ature d feelings upon entering the room, which powerfully impresseut him, but it was his deep feelings at finding the °Wee they were met to promote, the magnificent plan and schefne they were labouring to carry out, and the overwhelming In; terest of mankind that seemed to be involved in th e issue oci the present meeting—(hear)—in truth he must be Pern'itte the f to say, that he felt convinced that if the end and object o present meeting were but more generally felt—were but encird properly appreciated, it would not be that house, which sc o ", hold the assembled multitudes which might be inLiverpootl the largest area the town could offer would be insufficient to ho!", ‘ the multitudes which would assemble together in o rder. "; consider the means by which the Gospel should be eetendere to all mankind. (Cheers.) In truth, take but that sing e object into consideration, do but allow the mind to wan an d over the ends and purpose of a meeting like the present, bst he felt convin ce d th e y w ould agree with him it was not t , be which met the natural eye—it was not that which .could in comprehended by the mind at preient, that constituted, any degree, the interest of the object before them, as to fL ii / t express the end and purpose of the present meeting. r oes them trust themselves really to consider the object ; let theta allow imagination to act ; let them consider the purr ° t el which they were assembled, and the interests i nvo lved , er which might be depending upon the result to which t'ilne might come, and then trust themselves with the ass ur3 s i ted of what would be the case, if all could but feel as he tr u i ; of all present would feel,—then, he said, let imagination 's r ", ) a picture of the scene that might be exhibited here. (t lea- s 'a It would not be merely an assembly of a few hundreds,°; few thousands, met in the bonds of Christian love end h C li 6 s: tian sympathy, to consider how the Gospel might persed among mankind •, but we should suddenly find -ul of selves surrounded by deputations from the whole racebicic mankind. Crowded assemblies would be drawne —e t en ts, circle of those who, in many tongues and manY ac e r '. - o - te e but breathing bat one word, and that word, " .. e ""b re over to us and help us." (Hear, hear, bear.) ' d i c e s, would be the coloured inhabitants of the West In n o, the natives of Africa, who, if the meeting chose to suPP O - 0 - ), were now represented by his friend behind him (M r• Han'„ee and they could not have a more effective or interesting re!,'„ia sentative—(hear)—they with tongues innumerabl e be gathered together around us, imploring us to recollechteir, innumerable wrongs which had been heaped u pon t he praying we would at least exhibit that we, who posseSs it it volume of the Gospel of peace in England, would eill"!tuid as a great emancipatress from the power of aP ir :, to darkness, as s h e h a d hitherto asserted her P °we , we break the c h a i ns of the captive.

Imagin atiml e - e th e not rest satisfied with this, which he would s uppose b e a circle now surr o u n ding them ; for there would there higher circle. (Hear, hear.) Angels, among wh om e eti lls was joy over one sinner that repenteth : did the % c oo' think that angels could watch with indifference the P r ,. t ho§e of a meeting like the resent?p Could we suppose tha'nneer who at the birth of our blessed Lord burst the sileneeiineece which their feelin gs w er e restrained, yielded to the in!'esierl of love, and bur s t f or th in the glorious assuranc e of ' to God, and on earth peace and good will towards m i d e es° could we think that angels would watch with the c o n w ere of indifference a meeting like the present? Oh, ther e loath meetings from which their purer minds recoiled wi t thel ing and disgust; there were meetings from wh at it shrunk with wonder and dismay, at which they were, per astonishment how man, born for immortality, e° tin's' himself and all his prospects in the things of earth an?.., that but over a meeting like the present, he could conce iv ed i iii angels would find it a subject of rejoicing in the ble• dace ing heritance which it must be our privilege to ha ve, g ig i o ee f °r every heart that was heating with w armth 8 " d see nri " Christ. and desiring to do good to man, and exiiltii'elld'eete—: vilege which held forth the means of advancing the s . „ ig en er's kingdom. (Hear.) Above all, might lie not dss eltheixij another in the circle? He looked down uP °T le a tch e the travail of whose soul was satisfied, who e nd . e s' loo ts over his church, who still sympathised with all tn e o f g os ;i and feelings of man, who delighted in every pel truth as conducive to the happiness of Inn, n ne on ° , „ a dvalu iri d, 11 , 0 er who cheered all our efforts, and strengthened to tda all our trials by the assurance that be is with us e ve res tioi e end of the world !
