Certainly we do not feel co scions of having deserved the imputation; for we are perfectly aware that, in addition to th 3 injury in flicted upon trade, by driving our own gentry out of town and causing strangers to shun it, nothing can be more calculated to increase the mortality caused by fever amongst our population ti excessive fear which exaggerated representations are calculated to create.

The existence of a more than usual amount of sickness in the town is undeniable. Every medical man is aware of the fact. The parish officers are equally aware of it. The very fact of two new fever wards being deemed necessary to meet the emergency proves it. And although the Journal thinks the fact, that the number of patients relieved at the dispensaries during the last fourteen weeks, has been less than the number relieved in the cor responding period last year (some of the m having • been transferred to the parish) is " a sufficient criterion for any one to judge that the amount of sickness in Liverpool does not greatly exceed that of the past year," there can be no truth in medical statistics and medical science if, with the irruption into our streets and courts of a horde of half- famished Irish, filthy in their habits and in their persons, and with high prices of every article of food operating to depress the condition of our own working population, we do not very shortly dis cover that disease and mortality are increased very far beyond our contemporary's calculations. We - shall not now, however, become alarmists. Our object in reverting to the subject at ill is to inquire what is doing to avert the evil which is in prospect. Is our town cleansed as it ought to be ? Are the low lodging houses, in which these wretched visitors and candidates for our charity herd together, strictly regulated ? Is any attempt being made even to cleanse their persons and to prevent them spreading contagion amongst the casual passengers in our streets, whose eyes they shock with their studied loathsomeness' We fea: little is effectually doing in any of these matters Granting the full extent and onerous nature of th 1 upon the Council- Health Committe luties r that the have to harness in v t their arrangements may not as work is new— yet be fully completed and their staff of officials uuequal to the amount of work which the present emergency will exact from them, we fear that their energies are at present being applied in a wrong direction.

The sales of the week, ending Friday, were 23,660 bales, of which 4,800 were on speculation, and 700 for export. The same influence has operated to deaden our Corn Market, not received in the corn ''et on Friday, stocks he impul tha wpal se whic , were freely broug,ht out ; hut sales were sparingly made at a reduction on Tuesdays prices of 3d. per 70 lb on wheat ; 23. on barrel flour, and ls. to 2s. per 480 lb on Indian The cotton manufacturing districts exhibit even greater gloom than we noticed last week, and several additional stoppages of mills, and a resort in other establishments to shorter hours of labour, have been the result. On Wed nesday, at an adjourned meeting of the millowners of Stockport, it Wa9 unanimously resolved to work only three hours a day for a month, and even that course was only adopted in consideration of the danger likely to result from entire stoppage'of the factory hands, which would ' -ters. A similar ne more profitable o the mas course is likely to be adopted in most other places in the district. The condition of the operatives is stated to us as one of increased and increasing suffering. _ We noticed in our last remarks under this head, the reported arrival of extensive orders from the United States, which are confessedly bare of British manufac tured goods; and at the same time intimated our fear that they could not be executed at the limits sent out. Experience has proved that we were perfectly correct in this anticipation. Indeed a new element of difficulty has been superadded in the difficulty experienced in procuring discounts, at reasonable rates, for the bills sent over t ) purchase with. The result of the two combined difficul ties has been the virtual withdrawal of the orders from this quarter, from which we ought to have expected so much, buyers being unwilling to buy at any material ad vance upon past prices of goods, and sellers unwilling to sell without an advance, to meet the advanced price which they have to pay for the raw material. There must be a re-action shortly, we should expect ; but really, at pre sent, there are little signs of its coming. Look where we will every influence seems to be com bined against this country, and more especially against her manufacturing interest. From India, the accounts just come are most depressing, and represent the markets throughout that country as declining for all descriptions of mminfacturei golds, whilst imports thence, which ought to serve for their purchase, are only kept back by the want of shinning to transport them, and even at the immense rise which has taken place in freights. At Bombay, holders of piece goods were offering their stocks freely, whilst dealers were cautious in making purchases ; and at Calcutta th' reported sales of al most all descriptions of similar fabrics are 50 per cent. less in amount than those of the preceding month. Yet stocki are gradually becoming exhausted throughout the country. N ot;vithstanding all precautions, the demand for bullion continues to exhaust the treasury of the Bank of England. By the weekly account in the Frilav's Gazette the stock of gold and silver has fallen to £8,801,100, being a reduc tion in the issue departnient of £135,240 since the last account, while in the banking department the stock is only £528,741. The London bankers are restricting their discount business to their own regular customers, and the rule is to keep them as short as possible. The pressure at all points has much increased, and it has created more excitement from bankers coming up from the coun try to raise money on bills, in which they have generally failed, however good, if not at very short dates. It is useless to state the rates of interest current, they are so various, but six per cent may be considered a low average for unquestionable paper. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES: - At a meeting of the Board of Examiners, held on the 20th inst., Captain Richard J. Case, late master of the Caledonia of London, was examined and found duly qualified from his great ex perience in seamanship and superior attainments in nau tical astronomy, as to entitle him to a first class extra master's certificate. _ _ . _ ,••IWM. N., • A deputation of shipowners of Liverpool, headed ay Viscount Sandon, M.P.. Sir Howard Douglas, M.P., and Mr. William Brown, M.P., and consisting of Mr. John Miller, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Coulburn, and Mr. Lockett, (chairman,) had an interview on Saturday, with Viscount Palmerston, on the subject of an act lately passed by the Congress of the United States of America, with reference to the conveyance of passengers to the United States. FATAL ACCIDENT. — On Saturday, William Rowe, a ship-carpenter, aged 64, was at work with another man, at a vessel called the Minerva, in No. 1 Canning. Graving Dock. While putting a plank on a stage, which was being fixed alongside, the board overbalanced and fell down, with deceased along with it, to the bottom of the dock. He was much hurt about the head, and was insensible. He was taken to the Northern Hospital, and was found to labour under concussion of the brain. Inflammation set in, of which he died on Sunday. CONMITMENTS AT THE POLICE COVAT.-BeforeSir Joshua Walmsley, yesterday, (in the absence of Mr. Rushton,) a woman named Margaret Ness, and a girl Margaret Cavannah, were charged with stealing, named on Saturday; in Banastre-street, from recruiting-sergeant 111`Donald, who had arrived here from Coventry, three silver watches, of the value of £l6. The articles were in a parcel, which complainant said the woman took from his pocket, and on being detected dropped them, when the x - --nwer prisoner who was with her picked them up.

The captain gave him an excellent character ; stated that the moment he found the ship in danger of being seized, he voluntarily confessed that he had brought the tobacco, adding, that he could not bear to see his captain, who had treated him most kindly, ed through his fault or ignorance. He was required a fine of £lOO ; but his case will, no doubt, be fa vourably reported, with a view to mitigation, to the law officers of the Crown, in London.—Another seaman, for smuggling 81 lbs. of tobacco amongst some clothes found in his chest, on board the ship Roscius, lately arrived, was remanded till Thursday, so that the pleasure of the Board may be known respecting this case, as it appeared some other parties were more strongly implicated. ROBBERY TO A LARGE AMOUNT BY AN APPRENTICE. —Yesterday, at the Police-court, a rather well-dressed youth, named Robert Drury, was charged, before Sir Joshua Walmslev. with having absconded with £1250, the property of his employers, Messrs. Demp sey, Frost and Co., timber- merchants, Queen's Dock. It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Wm. Ashcroft, cashier to Messrs. Dempsey & Co., and other witnesses, that the Pr ner was an apprentice to the concern ; and that, on Wednesday last, he (Mr. A.) counted over before him the amount stated in Bank of England notes, namely, 1 £5OO note, 7 £lOO notes, and 1 £5O note, which were enclosed in a letter addressed to Messrs. Holden and Co., of Lon don ; and which he (the prisoner) was to deliver at the post-office here, and register for forwarding, or, in other words, to bring back a receipt for the same. The prisoner did not return to the office, and some uneasiness naturally arising, inquiry was made at his home. which it was found he had left - . Mr. Ashcroft started next evening for Lon don, and having arrived on the followinz mornin gave information at the main police-othce, and obtained assistance of Constable Joseph Thompson; of Bow- street. They soon succeeded in finding the delinquent at the London Bridge-street Tavern, where he had taken up his temporary abode. In his portmanteau, and in a pocket-book in his top-coat pocket, the greater part of the money, that is, £1233 155., was found partly in the notes _ _ - other notes, the prisone r ha v ing, it appeared, changed th £5OO nntrt at thP liranrh Rank here. he sizning on thi back of it the firm, " Ewart, Myers, 'and Co." - It also appeared that previous to leaving this town he had pur chased a watch, chain, and seal from Mr. Daniel Verley, of Parker-street, for which he paid in a bank note of £5, 2 sovereigns, and 2 shillings—in all £7 25.. He had bought himself some new clothes, as an outfit, and stated to the officer that he had proposed to go to Dover for some time, and thence embark for America. The pri_ soner did not appear to be much affected by the situ ation in which he was placed, and declined to say any thing at this stage of the inquiry, after receiving the usual caution. He was committed for trial at the sessions. ORIENTAL DIVAN, CLAYTON-SQUARE. — The witty proprietor of this fashionable retreat says he will provide the choicest steaks for those who lose them at Chester. We think him equally competent to provide plates and cups, as his success has proved. WINES FOR FAMILY CONSUMPTION.—We refer our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Ogle, Thompson, and Co. in our first page to-day, and feel justified. in re commending a trial of their wines, not on account of their prices, but on account of their qualities. We generally regard a cheap article as an inferior one, but these wines are an exception to the rule—they are moderate in price and undeniable in excellence : indeed a single trial will remove all doubt, and the very fact of their - having sup plied the choicest wines to the Town-hall during the visit of Prince Albert, and at the dejeaner at Birkenhead on the opening of the docks, add a reputation to their names that is by no means unenviable.. TIIE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CHESTER DIOCESAN CHURCH BUILDING SOCIETY. Yesterday, the annual meeting of the members of the Chester Diocesan Church Building Society was held in the Board-rooin of the Blue School Institution. At twelve o'clock, the hour appointed for holding the meeting, there was but a thin attendance of members ; but shortly after, the room became pretty much crowded. Amongst those present, we noticed the following :—The Chancellor of the Diocese ; Archdeacon Rushton, of Manchester; the Rec tors of Liverpool : Rev. Ellis Ashton, Vicar of Huyton Rev. John Jones, Rev. James North, Rev. C. Lawrence, Rev. D. D. Stewart, Liverpool ; Rev. R. M. Master, Vicar of Burnley ; Rev. T. Bold ; C. Groves, Esq. ; John Johnson, Esq., Runcorn ; and G. Carter, Esq. The Rev. Jonathan Brooks, senior Rector of Liverpool, occupied the chair. The meeting having been opened with prayer by the Rev. Chas. Lawrence, the Chancellor of the Diocese, read the folllowing report of the society for the past year : _ The report after alluding to the growing sense of the need of increasing church accommodation, states that the committee had the misfortune of beginning the year 1845 with an apparent balance against them of ,t'7so. In consequence of thin, little was done towards encouraging the objects of the society during the two first quarters of the year just expired. At the meeting on April 1, two applications from churches (St. Shas's, Harper, and St. Shnon's, Connor) building in Manchester and in Liver pool, were declined, under the conviction that they were not within the scope of our operations. Applications from the districts of Coldhurst, in Oldham, of St. Paul's, Lane-bridge, in Burnley, were declined on other grounds, but chiefly on objec tions to the plans proposed as being too expensive. The cases of Whitworth Chapel, to be rebuilt, and of an offer from gentle- men, owners of mill property at 'Prestolee, were relu'c'tantly deferred. At .the quarterly meeting, June 30, an additional grant of .428 was granted for the completion of the church at Birkle, in Middleton, and .4300 for a new church at Whitworth, in the parish of Rochdale. The case of this chapel was included in the last year's report, but it may he well to recapitulate here, that the population of the chapelry is 4570, the old chapel has 426 sittiiigi, but none free, except those 'which are placed in the aisles. A plan for the enlargement of the chapel had been submitted to the Incorporated society, but as they saw reason pared for their approbation, which offered 1139 sittings for the sum of £2,300. The local subscriptions have only reached ..e7OO the sum expected from the Incorporated Society was e.:500, and your committee agrees to promise £3OO, under the hope that private benefactions may yet be drawn out, which might supply the apparent deficiency. At the same meeting several orders, for the payment of grants, were been already alluded to Attlie quarterly meetinF, , ptember 20th, the ca's'e of the West Leigh Church, fa the parish of Leigh, was brought before the committee by the Rev. the Vicar, who stated that, in compliance with the requirements of the Incor porated tociety, thoiplan had been enlarged, so that the church • • - of line: q- wit' 't zalleries, and that vc _ 31i, .tlUut, the probable cost of the church would be ..e2500, the population of the district being 2500; and, in consideration of these changes, the grant of £2BO was confirmed, with an addition of .t5O more. An application was also made from the newly appointed minis ter of the district of Portwood, in Stockport, mentioning the difficulties with which he was surrounded, but that he had suc ceeded in raising the sum of .eBOO, applicable towards the build ing of a church, and in the consideration of the peculiar cir cumstances of the place, the difficulty of obtaining a site, and the total want of local resources, it was resolved that £BOO should be applicable to the purposes of that district. Another application was made from the incumbent of the district of Coldhurst, in Oldham, requesting some further as sistance, in order to complete the church. The grant of the Incorporate Society of ..200 involved the outlay of 180 in the construction of a chancel; and though the church, which is calculated to hold five hundred people, is to be finished with this addition for £l4OO, the building fund fell so short, that it was deemed necessary to assist it by the grant of an additional _ _ _ At the same meeting applications were received from the dis trict of Hurst, in Ashton-under-Lyne, and from the district of Dane Bridge, in Northwich, which were not deemed admissible, on account of the extensive scale of the building; and the vote of a grant to St. James's, Congieton, was renewed, on a letter from the incumbent encouraging hopes that the work would be speedily proceeded in. At the quarterly meeting, on December 30, payments were ordered of the grants made to St. Paul's, Macclesfield, of the re maining moiety of the grant to the church at Whitehaven, and of .tlOO to the church at Waterhead, in Oldham. At the same time, the returns from the collections made dur ing the preceding summer, under the authority of the Bishop's letter, were presented, and it appeared that the collections al ready paid and notified amounted to £1,020. Under this state ment, your committee feel themselves justified in meeting the awlications before them with a greater liberality, and the fol- lowing grants were made To the district of Christ Church, in Denton, a grant was made of £4OO. In this parish the population amounts to 8000, and the old chapel only offers 300 sittings. The new church is pla med to hold 860. Subscriptions have been raised to the amount of £1425, and the Incorporated Society has promised £4OO. _ _ 1 o St. Mark's district, in Duckenfield, the same sum of £4OO was voted. The population of this district is 7000. Local sub scriptions only amount to .t 4150. Her Majesty's Co►nmis sioners have made a grant of £230, the Incorporated Society of .41350, and an unknown benefactor, through the bishop, has given 'BOO. . To the district of St. Paul's, in Burnley, and of Hurst, in Ashton-under-Lyne, grants of X3OO were voted. _ _ To Bridge, in ;Non wich, and to .••.! carisbrick, Ormskirk, .200 each. To All Saints' district, Habergham And additional p,Tat den, to Cli of .tlO6 each to Welsden, in Todmor stown, in Ashton-und9r-Lyrae, and of 50 to East Crompton. The cases of Shnttleworth, in Bury, of St. Matthews, Chad derton, St. John's, Chadderton, in Oldham and of Whitworth, in Rochdale, being deferre d, for further explanation. The above are the only additional g rants which your commit-' tee have ventured to make during the year 1846. Throughout this period your committee have endeavoured to render their grants less inadequate to the object to which they were given, by impressing on the parties applying the absolute necessity ofi economy in the plan and style of building. They regret to feel that their endeavours in this respect have been less successful than they wished, and that some, if not most, of the building committees are, in consequence, engaged in _ _ liabilities of i most painful and injurious character. Your committee feel that the dignity of the church is far more deeply compromised by debt than by the want of spire or and much as they would rejoice to see tile IliCe or sae IAJ y +l,nce. beautiful memorials of the nation's faith; they would prefer supplying what was actually needed as a house of prayer, and waiting till the piety and zeal of another generation, if it should be necessary to wait so long, shall supply what is wanting in the present structures. To this they must add, that while our old parochial churches exhibit so many beautiful specimens of ecclesiastical architec ture, it seems sufficient for us to meet the present demand for accommodation by buildings of a different order. It does not seem necessary that the newly-formed district should at once pretend to raise a fabric capable of vieing with the mother church. A sense of order and propriety would alone suggest a difference in the style and character of the building. A correct taste, and a judicious reference to ancient models, will easily furnish forms Purely eccle siastical and of a simpler nature, and on that account more adapted to such localities; and the tower and the spire, the porch or the chancel, may.be subsequently added, in pro portion as the con^Tegation is formed, and may thus be made the testimonies of increased attachment to the church, from those who shall have been born and brought up within the pale. In making this statement of their convictions, your committee do not wish tolimit these remarks to the gentlemen whose zeal Prompts them to take the lead in such measures, and who must be regarded with respect as the instrument in God's hand of supplying the spiritual necessities of his people. They feel that this desire of architectural ornament is frequently forced upon the Building Committee, by the indiEcreet and unreasonable requirements of the subscribers ; they know that assistance is sometimes procured under conditions which cannot be. fulfilled without risking the failure of the whole scheme from the ex pense implied, and that the gratification of the eye of one is more considered than the benefit to the souls of men. Your Committee have often bad occasion to sympathise with the embarrassments of those who were exposed to this painful dilemma, through the capricious fancy of their supporters ; and beg leave, with all humility, to remonstrate against such an abuse of wealth, and such a forgetfulness of the purposes to which it ought to be applied, and hope that those who give will be willing to do it with simplicity. In the course of the ypurcogi- mittee have to record with thankfulness to Him who is the author of all good and holy purposes, some valuable donations for the general purposes of the society. They have to acknow ledge a donation of .t SOO from G. Horrocks, sen., Esq., of Preston, which, with a previous donation 0f,200, makes him a donor of .el,OOO. They have to acknowledge a gift from It. Newsham, Esq., of Preston, of .t 100; and they may anticipate the substance of the report for 1847, by adding, that since the closing of the account for 1816, a donation of ,t'so has been received from the Rev. R. Richardson, and .'25 from Messrs. Wardell, both of Chester. Mr. GROVES, the treasurer of the society, stated, that in consequence of the indisposition of his clerk, he was not prepared to lay before the meeting a digested state ment of his accounts, but that he would give an abstract of them, and the full statement would be published with the printed report. They had received something like £4,300 or £4,400, about £2,000 of which, as th e repor t , stated, was for church erection, £l,OOO as donations. and about £1 ,zuu in subscriptions. Their grants had been something less than that; for although they began the year with an apparent debt of £7OO, they ended it with a surplus of five or six hundred. The Rev. CHAIRMAN inquired the date to which the accounts had been made up:to? Mr. GROVES stated that hitherto the accounts had been made out to the date of the report ; but he was not just certain at what date this balance was in hands. However, it would be shown when the statement would be made out ; but he was of opinion that it was brought down to the present time. The Rev. CHAIRMAN sugg to fix the date at the Ist of January After some consideration this wa .t cond: There wei 7. IT ;ted that it would be better greed to. The Rev.. Rector CAMPBELL then rose to propose the first resolution, which was as follows : • That the report now read be adopted, prir circulated, under the direction of the committee. He observed that in pressing the adoption of this resolu tion on the meeting, he believed that he would be en abled to justify and prove the truth of the address con tained in the commencing observations of the report. Very little argument would be needed to press these ob- servations on - Christian minds ; for Christians, and above all, churchmen would need but little argument to induce them to contribute to the support of any institution which had for its objects the building of Christian churches and schools for the educatiOn of the young in the ways of morality and virtue. They would not be Christians, or churchmen in particular, if they did not do all in their power for the promotion of objects so christian and cha ritable in their nature. He spoke of schools in connexion with churches, because they were mostly—and most appro priately—placed together, in order that the tender minds of the children might be educated in the way of the Lord—that they might be fitted for a happy eternity. The necessity for such a preparation for eternity must be imperatively felt in the present day by every true and sin cere Christian ; for when the Christian looks around him on the enormously increasing population—increasing in vice and immorality as fast as it is in numbers—he must be struck with the necessity which exists for any institu tion which endeavours to afford the means of providing for the religious and the educational wants of the people. (Hear, hear.) He would next allude to that part of the report which urged the absolute necessity which existed for their being economical and careful in granting assist ance for the building of new churches. They would all rejoice to see the country studded over with towers and spires pointing to Heaven, decorated with simple and or namental architectural designs ; but, whilst they would be happy to be a sight so honourable to religion and the glory of GoD still they should remember that, at the present time, more essentially required houses of worship, simple and unadorned, in which the poor of the diocese might have the privilege of bowing their knee in humble adoration of the Most High. (Hear, hear.) They, in the first instance, required that the poor should be provided with chapels, even if they should be without spire, or tower, or chancel, or gallery, if that were necessary. Let them have churches first, and ornament them afterwards. Indeed, with regard to the latter species of church ornament—a gallery—he thought that they would all be glad if they could build a sufficient number of churches to enable them to dispense with the use of such incumbrances, which, in all cases where he had seen them introduced, merely assisted to destroy the beauty of the internal architecture of the building. He thought it would be wise and judicious, on the part of the society, if they assisted congregations in doing only those things which were essentially necessary for the building of churches, allowing the decorative part of such edifices to remain for another season, when they would be in a better condition to assist them in such under takings. With respect to the objects of the society he would beg leave to remark, that they were not to provide churches for Liverpool, Manchester, and other such dis tricts, where there was local wealth enough for that purpose ; but to provide churches for those parts of the diocese that were almost unable to provide churches for themselves. (Hear, hear.) These were the objects for which they were associated, and they were, perhaps, the most philanthropic in which the mind and energies of a true churchman could be engaged. (Hear, hear.) With these few observations he begged leave to second the resolution that the report now read be adopted. The Rev. Mr. ASHTON felt great pleasure in seconding the motion of the Rev. the Junior Rector of the parish. The resolution was then put, and carried nern. dis. The Rev. Mr. JONES proposed the next resolution, which he read as follows : " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the wel fare of this country is closely connected with an adequate provision of Church accommodation and Pastoral super intendence, for the inhabitants of every parish, of both of which many parishes are still destitute." He (Mr. Jones) intended merely to have read the resolu tion which he held in his hand, and to have contented himself with simply proposing it to the meeting, because it contained such self-evident truths, that anything which he could say would be superfluous ; but he was reminded by his friend on his right (the Reverend Mr. Campbell), that economy was necessary to be observed in the distribution of their funds for church building purposes. He was one of those who thought that they could not expend too much money in ornamenting their churches-.-in making them edifices worthy alike of the glory of God and the honour of religion ; but of course utility was the first object which they should study. Yet he could not but think that both ends—both the erec tion of useful buildings, and their decorations—might be accomplished by exercising a little of that sound discretion which the Society had ever evinced. In the first place, he thought it would be well to build churches sufficiently large to accommodate the wants of the people ; and when that was done, they might afterwards be beautified to any extent the parishioners wished. This, to be sure, was stated in the report ; and he might be allowed to say that he never listened to the reading of a report which gave him more pleasure than that one had done. (Hear, hear, hear.) He thought it would be unwise in them not to economise their funds. (Hear.) When they reflected on the course pursued by their ancestors, some 30 or 40 years ago they should indeed be cautious. Then Parliament gave £1,000,000 for the building of churches over the kingdom ; but he would ask, was the result of a grant so liberal that it might have fully sup plied the necessity which existed for their exertions ? Why there was.a great amount of waste on some particu lar churches, and the wants of the people were left unsup plied. He trusted that the report would not only be printed, but widely circulated ' • for he was of opinion that the observations of the Rev. Chancellot, as expressed in that report with reference to the caprice and self-willed ness of subscribers, would when published, . have the most beneficial effect on the public mind. It would be eminently calculated to check those evils of which it complained. The public, in his opinion, ought to be taught what to do in the way of true charity. The best way in which any person who was so rich and so liberal as to do so, could benefit the church was by placing his donation at the disposal of those who were so well acquainted with the disposal of such gifts as to be in them selves a guarantee that such a donation would not be mis applied. If such a course were adopted generally, and the body so entrusted with the donation allowed to exer cise its own will in the disposal of it, the self-will and caprice which was now so injurious to the working of the society would no longer be complained of. The Rev. T. BOLD briefly seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. J. JOHNSON, of Runcorn, in proposing the third resolution, observed that he would, in doing so, content himself with saying that the value of the society had been most apparent. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was as follows :—" That this meeting desires to return thanks to Almighty God for the increased church accommodation, which has been provided in this diocese, and considers that the Diocesan Society may justly claim the support of all classes in the community." a • Archdeacon RUSHTON rose to move that the present officers of the society be reappointed to their respective offices for the present year, and said that the observations which he had to make were few indeed. Notwithstanding that they had already expended one-and-a-half millions of money in the erection of churches, and half a million more for the building of schools, still it was apparent to all who knew anything of the religious state of the people, that much more was required for that purpose. Much had been effected by the Diocesan Society,—it had created a demand for churches and schools which its most sanguine promoters and supporters never anticipated. But much though it had done, much more was yet required. He owned that it should never be lost sight of, that private individuals had been doing much, very much ; but still the more that priv ;.-1;‘,; ( 1 na l s did, th e more wou ld b e required of their society, for they would .....fita ff a greater demand upon them. It was wrong for people to be impressed with the idea, that the more they did towards the production of their object, they were approaching the more speedily to the termination of their labours. Such an impression was wrong indeed, for it only argued that the more they did the less would be expected of them. They had to be sure made provision for their super abundant population ; but if they had done so, that was principally done in districts where there was local wealth. But now the applications were coming in from the dis tricts where there was little local wealth, especially from the districts created by Sir Robert Peel's Act. They had clergymen preaching the gospel in places in this coun try which would not be occupied for any other purpaEe whatever. They held Divine Service in such places as BrevVeries, Public-house, in rooms and cottages and such placeS as the people could remain during the service. They had heard a great deal said of the sufferings of their brethren engaged in the foreign missions; but he was of opinion that the labours of their own clergy at home were nearly, if not fully, as arduous and severe.' He knew three clergymen himself, who had lost their health from their exertions in behalf of the poor, in situations similar to those lie had just described. On these grounds, therefore, he 'would urge on the society the propriety of their appealing to the public for increased funds, to enable them to carry out the objects which they had in view for it was heart-rending to read at their board meetings the accounts sent in from time to time of the reli gious destitution of the people and the clergy of the different districts. However, they had the gratifying fact to reflect on that the public were still with them, and in this town, where dissent was said to be prevailing, they were most supported. They had the poor with them, who still knew that the church was the educatrix of the people as well as their great public moral and religious instructor. The venerable Archdeacon then resumed his seat. The Rev. C. LAWRENCE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Rev. RECTOR CAMPBELL then made some remarks in explanation of what he meant, by impresssing on the society the necessity of using economy in the distribution of its funds ; after which, on the motion of the Very Rev. the Chancellor, a most cordial and flattering vote of thanks was pa 1 to the Rev. Chairman, for his undeviating zeal in the cause of religion, and truth, and the interests of the society. The motion was carried by acclamation. The Rev. CHAIRMAN, in returning his heartfelt and sincere thanks for the kind and cordial expression of thanks to him for his poor and limited exertions in behalf of their society, took occasion to pass a well merited eulo gium on the people of Liverpool for the zeal which they have ever manifested for the support of religion and the Church of Christ ; and also for their beneficent charity on every occasion where distressed humanity appealed to them for relief. In illustration of this the reverend. and venerable rector stated that when he and a friend of his proposed to build the new churches now erected in the fields, he made a calculation of the amount of money then being paid by the people of Liver pool for the erection and repairing of their own churches, and he found that they were actually contributing above £BO,OOO for that purpose. After again thanking them, and impressing on the meeting the necessity of making vigorous exertions in support of the society, the reverend gentleman resumed his seat. , and I The meeting then separated. THE CROPS, &c.—Since our last week's publication the weather for the first five days was dry, and generally sunny by day, but with a slight frosty night and morning air. Vegetation had not so far progressed 'Tat any damage wall' notice has been done. Field operations in the neighbourhood have gone on briskly, and nearly all the spring seed is in the ground. The first crop of early po tatoes in gardens, and sheltered bits of fields, are in some " early " localities in these districts, and particularly where covered with litter by night, in a remarkably for ward state, considering the long drought and cold easterly winds. We have seen some upwards of two inches above the ground, and in full and large leaf—apparently quite healthy. The wheats generally look well. The glass, which had stood at " Fair," and even above it for many days, began to waver at the latter end of last week. On Sunday it perceptibly declined, and on that day a very slight rain partially fell. Yesterday morning, the w i n d , after a previous threatening from clouds, shifted to the W.N.W, or thereabouts, and blew fresh, with a heavy downfal of rain, hut in the first instance.of hail. This wet has done much good already. The day was afterwards fine, but cool from the fdrce of the breeze. Soft showers and sunshine would now much forward all crops, and rouse the fullest hopes of the lingbandman. TIIEFTS OF GRAIN, &e, FROM THE DOCKS, &C.—The practice of poor-looking parties, chiefly Irish, and in cluding both males and females, pilfering quantities of wheat, barley, Indian corn, flour, Sic., from bags on the quays, has become very prevalent. No fewer than six or eight persons were yesterday charged with this offence at various docks. They were sent to gaol for - from seven to fourteen days, according to the grades of their respective delinquencies, several of them having pleaded hunger, and apparently with truth.—Two poor women were also charged with stealing turnips from Windsor, but the case not being clear they were remanded. April 27, 1847. LATEST INTELLIGENCE: (BY EXPRESS LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY There was a short supply of wheat by land carriage sample!' from Essex and Kent this morning, and a very limited quantal of barley, beans, and peas from all the near counties, with a limited fresh arrival of oats from our own coast, Scotland, and Ireland. The importations of foreign wheat and barley during the past, week were tolerably good. with a somewhat large quantity 01 oats, and a fair supply of other articles of the trade. Since this day se i nnight, the weather has been cold with shifting wind ; this morning it is south-west, and we have had some nice warm rain, so that at last a favourable change seems at hand, At the opening of the market very high prices were demanded for all English Wheat, which appeared to check business, but ultimately the rates of Friday were submitted to, being. about ls. per qr. advance on last Monday's currency for choice sam ples only, whilst for foreign a fair steady demand was expe rienced at Is. to 2s. per qr. improvement in the value of all sorts. Buyers for export still show themselves, and that de mand is now extending to Holland, as well as to France and Belgium. Four was without any alteration in value, but the sale not very lively. Barley was Is. to were in fair request. 2s. per quarter dearer, and good samples Malt was held for full prices, but taken slowly:at the recent Beans were Is. per qr. higher, and in good demand. Peas of all sorts were held for fully as much money. The increased supply of Foreign Oats, combined with this morning's favourable change in the weather, caused the trade to be dull at last week's currency. Linseed was fully as dear, and in moderate demand. Rapeseed continues scarce, and brought quite former terms. Claverseed was held at higher rates. Floating cargoes of most articles are more enquired after, and Wheat, Barley, and Beans are held for more money. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET v - ESTERDAY The number of beasts was not so large, trade was in conse quence better. From Holland we had 396, Scotland 220, Nor folk and Suffolk 2000, and 750 from various parts of the coun tr). The supply of sheep and lambs was not so great, the former sold at advanced prices. Lambs slid not sell so well, From Holland there were 860 sheep and 62 calves. The calf trade was dull for inferior quality, prime were in demand at Friday's prices.

ACCESSION TO LIVERPOOL PROFESSIONAL TALENT We have great pleasure in directing attention to the adver tisement of Mr. Goodall, in another column, announcing his having settled permanently in Liverpool, where he purposes giving lessons in dancing and calisthenic exercises, but mote especially pursuing his career as a professor of the violin and violoncello. We have been favoured with an opportunity, in private, of hearing Mr. Goodall's performance upon the former instrument, which he has studied under De Beriot and Mori, and can honestly state that, as a solo performer, whether for tone or execution, he is not excelled by the best masters, and does credit to those eminent men who have afforded him the benefit of their instructions. We hope shortly to have the op• portunity of hearing him in public, when the manic-loving people of Liverpool will find that they have secured in him an acquisition to their stock of professional talent not to be got at except from sources too costly to be resorted to except on extraordinary occasions.
