Eiberpoot "tanbarb+ FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING THE great duty has been fulfilled—the great solemnity has been held ; all the funeral honours and all the heart felt respect that a free people could pay to the most illus trious of subjects has been generously accorded ; the mortal ashes of the conquerorof Waterloo repose in peace, " after life's fitful fever," side by side. with the invincible victor of the Nile, of Copenhagen, and of Trafalgar—be neath that stupendous dome, the grandest monument of architectural genius ever raised by English hands. Since the 14th of Sept., it may fairly be asserted, that but one paramount idea pervaded the public mind—that but one absorbing business occupied the thoughts of the whole community : how to concentrate in the most delicate and graceful form the national sentiment of gratitude to a departed soldier and statesman of unparalleled ability, and how to perform an act of solemn ceremony in memory of his achievements, which, recorded in imperishable history, would live resplendent when marble shall be crumbeld into dust, and when iron and brass shall be obliterated by the effac ing hand of time. Such idea has been grandly car ried out ; such an act has been most worthily accom plished. Never before did such a capital of such an empire exhibit such a demonstration of solid imperial power, of unanimous feeling, of profound emotion, of be fitting magnificence, of reverential homage—of wealth, of dignity, of heart—as did London on Thursday last, when her two million citizens, assisted by a million of deputies representing every parish in the three kingdoms, bore the corse of the immortal WELLINGTON to its glorious resting place in the Cathedral of St. Paul. Many pens have been employed in describing that superb and awful ceremonial, many eloquent tongues have laboured to find words to give expression to the sentiments it inspired ; but all have failed to convey an adequate idea of the reality. It was not the r night and ads of people 'sing in the dead of in lengthened lin and forming in countless masses, and waiting in solemn silence for the breaking morn and for the appointed hour, that consti- ed the s of this extraordinary spectacle— early as Lis whole reputation is founded on his Parliamen tary practice. Perhaps cunning Sir ALEXANDER, in looking into bis brief, found the case too bad to be risked, and therefore he slipped out of it on the pretence of informality. "Oh ! what misery environs The man who meddles with hot Lions I" COJIMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. WE have had a dull week in commercial circles, the holiday of Thursday, and the absence from town of a considerable number of our merchants and brokers, exercising an unfavourable effect upon business. Under any circumstances, however, the anxiety to learn what is the policy about to be announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer would account for a disinclination to enter upon active operations. Upon this head, Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co. remark in their bi-monthly Circular, published on Saturday last :—" The im provement noticed in our last circular has continued throughout the past three weeks, and a large busi ness has been done in the leading articles of pro duce. The brown descriptions of SUGAR, suitable for refining purposes, have been in particular re quest, and the article of TEA has continued to attract attention. Consumption of nearly every article is progressing most satisfactorily, and with diminishing stocks, we may reasonably look for a further moderate advance in prices. The last day or two there has not been much doing, the burial of the Duke taking precedence of everything else. The Budget is also looked forward to with interest, it being generally believed that 'he Chancellor of the Exchequer is about to introduce a most com prehensive measure with regard to taxation, and the Customs, and the Excise duties generally." The Returns from the Bank of England for the weekending the 13th of November give the following results when compared with the previous week : Public deposits .. £ 5,973.230; Increase £933,087 Other deposits .. 12,367.099; Decrease 286.574 Rest 3,127,453; Increase 2,378 On the other side of the account— Government securities £13,962,688 ; Increase £12,313 Other securities.. .. 11,493,768 ; Increase 131,233 s unemployed 11,495,990; Increase 255,400 The amount of notes in circulation is £23,202,258, being a decrease of £148,860 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £21,273,772, show ing an increase of £378,352, when compared with the preceding return.

Viewing the stately pro- on, of apparently interminat [a length—its arr brilliant cavalry, of invincible infantry, of thunder-dealing artillery—the veterans and the youth of our armies—the elite of our nobility, the flower of our senate, the repre sentatives of all the great interests in the country—slowly and sadly winding through the multitudinous ranks that uncovered and bowed respectfully as it passed ; seeing the glittering arms, and the waving plumes, and the gorgeous state carriages, and all the pomp, pride, and circumstance of glorious war, and no less glorious peace, veiled with the black ensign of death, and beholding the unostenta tious but deep felt sorrow that marked every manly brow and glistened in every womanly eye—it was impossible not to feel that, as a manifestation of national mourning, the spectacle was the finest ever witnessed. As to the religious ceremony in St. Paul's Cathedral, words can convey no adequate idea of its impressive and awe-inspir ing grandeur. The almost incredible congregation of 17,000 persons of distinction under one vast roof, the deep pealing organ, the chant of countless voices, the exqui sitely touching music, the beautiful prayers, the affecting consignment of the remains of the great hero to the tomb, theproclamation of his titles and distinctions—all this con tributed to render the closing scene of the honoured hero's career the most magnificent and sublime sight that mor tal eyes have ever beheld. In this respect England has done her duty, and has honoured with becoming pomp and dignity her great defender. Had she done less, she would be chargeable with ingratitude. Peace to the ashes of the brave and good ! Of WELLINGTON more than of any other man may history write : " England had no worthier son than he." To-morrow the great party conflict of the parliamentary session will open in real earnest, and with every prospect of a tough fight—not the less tough because the cause of quarrel is hollow and false, and meant as a mere pretext. There is no one blind enough not to see that Mr. CHAS. Irtu.txus' motion is a complete free-trade sham. Free trade, such as it exists, is no more in danger than the constitution of the House of Commons itself ; and the amendment put on the motion paper by Mr. DISRAELI IS as strong a declaration of the House of Commons in favour of the present commercial system as the original proposi tion of Mr. VILLIERS. Substantially they amount to the same thing, and if the Opposition were honestly inclined, or actuated by really patriotic motives, they would be satisfied with carrying the amendment by the united house, and without a division. But their motive is a party manoeuvre, and their sole object is to compel the Ministry to retire before they can bring forward the mea sures they have prepared. It is well known that the compensation and the adjust ment of taxation contemplated by the CHANCELLOR of tne EXCHEQUER, are such as would draw to the Adminis tration an incalculable amount of general public support ; and therefore, the whole energies and wit of the Oppo sition are engaged, per fas et nefas, to prevent the re gular developement of the whole scheme. This they can do by defeating the Government, and carrying some motion that would directly or indirectly amount to a vote of want of confidence, and so compel Ministers to resign. Free-trade Resolutions, of which Mr. VILLIERS claims the paternity, have been cunningly devised to catch the votes of all the sections into which the Opposition is divided. GRAHAM and PALMERSTON, and GLADSTONE and COBDEN, and, of course. RUSSELL,—aII subject to them, and have agreed to stand to the Resolutions—the whole Resolutions—and nothing but the Resolutions. The Trish Brigade alone, of all the sections, refuse to pledge themselves absolutely ; but the chances are, that when it comes to the scratch, they will give their votes with their old pals, though thoroughly convinced that Free Trsde has been ruinous to their country. A couple of members of the Brigade are savagely incensed against the " brutal and unconstitutional Whigs ;" but the whippers-in and go-betweens have received carte blanche to promise the Irish Brigade every place, from the bench to the porter's-ball—with, of course, a Jesultical men tal reservation—in exchange for notes on this vital occasion ; and such promises rarely fail to bring the " rumbunctions to raison." On the other hand, every honest politician and every fair man in the House of Commons must see that Mr. DISRAELI'S amendment is ample as a declaration of the House that the new com mercial adopted is to be legitimately maintained and fairly carried out ; and all such cannot conscientiously avoid giving their votes with the Minister. Some gentlemen, it is said, hold so vigorously to their former opinions, that they will not subscribe to any recognition of foreign trade as a national good, and it is for these that danger to the Government is apprehended,—and it is for the purpose of playing the knave's game with their votes that the trick of a call of the House has been put in practice. Every Con servative, of every shade, should, however, bear in mind that on his individual vote in the approaching grand Par. liamentary battle, depends the issue whether the destinies of Great Britain are to be committed to the upright and honourable Lori DERBY, or to the crooked and unprin cipled decemvirate compound of RUSSELL, GRAHAM, GLADSTONE, COBDEN, SADLER, KEOGH, DUFFY, and the rest. HATTER, it is said, counts on a majority of 15, but if the Censervatives are true to themselves the majo rity will be on the right side. However, it will be a close contest, and the issue being doubtful, we can only exhort our champions, in the words of WELLINGTON and NEL to do their duty," and pray, `• May Heaven defend the right." This day, (Monday,) I believe Dr. NEWMAN will b called up for judgment for his libel on Dr. ACHILLI ; and, as I understand, will, instead of pntting in affidavits in mitigation of punishment, put in affidavits that will greatly aggravate his original offence. The money, dicated to pious uses by the faithful," has been liberally applied in getting up new charges against Dr. ACHILLI, and. the courts of justice are to be again polluted by de tails too disgusting to be even hinted at. 'What infatu ation it is for the friends of Rome to make these scan dalous exposurea !

MEMORIAL TO THE LATE DUKE. A movement has been commenced in the highest quar ters to do honour to the memory of the departed Duke, by erecting a school or college, to bear the name of the Duke of Wellington, for the education of the orpbans of military officers. It is proposed that when the subscrip tions amount to £lOO,OOO this sum shall be invested in trustees, to be incorporated by Royal Charter. Of this cam about £lO,OOO has been subscribed ; and the list of donors, which is headed with the name of her MAJESTQ for £l,OOO, and Prince ALBERT for £5OO, includes the names of the Earl of DERBY, the Dukes OrCAMBRIDGE, BUCCLEIJCII, NORTHUMBERLAND, and CLEVELAND, and the Marquises of SALISBURY and LONDONDERRY, for £5OO each, and several members of both Houses of Par liament for smaller sums. CHARGE OF PLAGIARISM AGAINST MR. DISRAELI. On Monday, in moving a resolution in the House of Commons, on the subject of the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington, the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a most eloquent oration, which want of space alone has prevented us from giving. This has been eagerly seized upon by the jackals of the Radical press, and a charge of plagiarism is fastened upon Mr. DISRAELI. He is ac cused of having borrowed his ideas, and even his words from M. TRIERS' panegyric on Marshal St. CYR, pub lished in 1829. It turns out thet the alleged sources of Mr. DISREALI'S eloquence were by an anonymous writer in a French review, and that through Mr. DISRAELI him- self, who was struck by their beauty, they were furnished to the Morning Chronicle, in which paper they were pub lished. If, however, such a coincidence as here is alleged to exist, is a foundation for a charge of plagiarism, no man, not even Shakspere, can be free from such a charge. It is but an ebullition of petty envy on the part of the writers who have joined in the cry ; and it is hardly worthy of notice, but for the eagerness with which it seems to have been caught up by those whose judgment is at the mercy of their political prejudices. ROBBERY OF JEWELS.-011 Saturday, at an early hour, the house of Mrs. Woodhill, jeweller, Sion-place, Clifton, near Bristol, was entered, and following valuable property abstracted :—About 100 gold rings set with diamonds, rubies, pearls, &c. ; 30 gold lockets, of various sorts ; 39 39 gold, and a large number of silver pencil-cases, five gold chains, and three gold necklaces, several gold brooches, silver chains, guards, &e., and a large number of valuable gold pins set with precious stones. The back door leads out towards Caledonia-place, and a wail about 8 feet in height runs along this entrance to the premises. It is conjectured that the thieves must have climbed this wall, walked along the top of it, and then dropped themselves down into the area. There tney found a pair of steps, which had been incautiously left outside the premises, and by placing these against the back wall of the house thy could succeed in reaching a square pantry window, one of tne panes of which had been accidentally broken. Through the aperture thus made, one of the burglars must have put his hand in and undone the fastening of the win dow. Havin g thus gained access to the premises, they forced the door of the shop, and nearly stripped it of its contents. ADDITIONAL CURATES' SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Additional Curates in Populous Places, took place yesterday, in the Savings' Bank. The Lord BISHOP of the DIOCESE occupied the chair, and amongst those present wenoticed the Ven. Archdeacon Brooks,Rev. Rector Campbell, Hon. and Rev. Horace Powys (War rington), the Revs. E. Ashton, R. Leinster, W. Hesketh, W. Crossfield, J. T. Hecker. J. Hall, J. Stewart. G. W. Warre, W. Appleton, W. Badnall, C. H. Burton, T. P, Kirk, G. Vallancey, G. Dover, J. B. Monk, J. Hughes, (Congleton,) W. Powley, T. G. Leigh, J. Hughes, Z. Barry, H. H. Higgins, C. Wray, Joseph Taylor, (Stock port,) George J. Banner, J. Hughes, T. Carter, and W. R. Duncan ; H. W. Banner, J. B. Braneker, E. G. Deane, Elias Arnaud, Harmood Banner, and C. Groves, Esqrs. After prayer by the Rev. A. J. Tomlin, the Diocesan Secretary, His LORDSHIP said they had met together for the pur pose of hearing the report of the secretary for one branch of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Addi tional Curates in Populous Places. It afforded him very great pleasure to see so many of the clergy and laity present to testify their good will, and, he hoped, to take a more lively interest and to give a warmer support to the society, although it had already met with very considerable patronage in the diocese. There certainly had been one most noble ex ample set them by a clergyman in the diocese, which he hoped would be followed, although it probaby could not to the same extent. His Lordship would not occupy their time further, but should call upon the secretary to read the report. The SECRETARY then read the following report : REPORT. In presenting the first report of the Chester Diocesan Association of the Society for Promoting the Employ ment of Additional Curates, it will only be necessary to state the leading facts connected with the society's opera tions, in order to make the most forcible appeal to every christian mind. _ . From the annual report of the parent society, it would appear that the grants of the former year have been main tained with a few modifications. The number of curates on the list is 298, ministering to a population of about 2,300,000. The total amount of the society's ordinary income has remained nearly stationery, £15,464. Bs. 2d. (of which £922. 13s. 11d. is restricted under the society's sixth rule) having been expended in the salaries of addi tional curates. A very small sum had been received dur ing the year in donations, or legacies, a source of income which in former years averaged about £3,000, and this deficiency rendered necessary the sale of a small part of the society's funded property. It is, however, highiy gratifying to find that, during the quarter ending at Michaelmas, the Rev. Dr. Warneford had placed the sum of £5,000 in the hands of the trustees as an augmentation of the society's permanent fund, the interest only being applicable to the society's general purposes. It is surely a very solemn and significant fact, telling most plainly the present spiritual destitution of the popu lation of our large towns, that no less than 150 amended applications are now before the committee, and it may be asserted with safety that very many annuitants are re strained from applying for aid, whilst others have with drawn their appeals, because the probabilities of assist ance are so small. Attention is invited to the smallness of the aid sought in many instances, £2O or £3O a year only being requisite to complete subscriptions raised locally by the laity, who are fully conscious of their need of further spiritual culture. If now we turn our attention to the operations of our own Diocesan Association, we find that the number of grants made in this diocese is 22, at an expense to the society of £1254 per annum. The total population thus supplied with the means of grace is 165,647. The sum raised in the diocese is £603 lls. sd. If, therefore, we have reason to be thankful that the income of the society drawn from the diocese has been increased this year about £2OO, it must not be forgotten that the sum of £620 is still conferred by the society ; and it is earnestly to be hoped Cast strenuous efforts will be made to diminish our obligations at a time when the general fund is exhausted, and urgent cases are denied relief. Liverpool has always been the largest contributor to the good work, and the income of the society has been in creased this year both for general and local purposes. Four curates on the society's list are now ministering amongst a population of 53,342 souls in this town ; and, through the liberality ofJohn Naylor, Esq., and the other contributors to our local fund, the number of curates will be increased to seven. The fund of £2OO is now nearly completed, by the assistance of various annual Church collections. It is, however, very desirable that the total amount of £4OO should be completed by annual subscrip tions as soon as possible, to enable Mr. Naylor to apply his subscription to other useful purposes, and to give the fund a more permanent character. A proposal will therefore be made to subscribers, which, if carried into effect, would naturally assist the committee ; and it is hoped that their friends will not find the task burdensome, when the labour is thus divided. One branch of the society's operations may, perhaps, be deserving of special notice, at a period when the pecu niary wants of incumbents are attracting attention, no less than their need of clerical assistants, and when the advantages of affording increased free accommodation in church for the working classes is becoming apparent. The majority of the population can ill afford to pay for sittings, the rents of which the incumbents cannot possi bly afford to relinquish without an equivalent, and hence many district churches do not reach their truest use. From its endowment fund the Parish Society has already secured to 41 parishes, the permanet services of resident clergy, by making grants within certain limits, proportionate to sums locally contributed. The committee venture to call attention to this important department of the society's labours, with a vie N to rendering district churches more effective by gradually increasing the pro portion of free accommodation for the working classes. By what means the requisite sum might be obtained most easily by donations, by subscriptions of smaller amount, or by a continuoussystem of colllections in churches, is a ques tion which must be left to the discretion of the friends of the society, according to local and other circumstances. Already a statement respecting St. Barnabas' Church has led to the offer of a donation, to form the nucleus of an endow ment fund ; and it is hoped that many who have the real interests of the church at heart will unite in the endeavour to accomplish the double object of securing to the clergy a more adequate remuneration, and, to the industrious classes, the opportunity of worshipping God free of charge, —that, so, the Church of England may maintain her boast of being the poor man's church in crowded towns, as well as in scattered hamlets. The Venerable Archdeacon BROOKS rose to propose the first resolution, " that the report be adopted, printed, and circulated." He had no doubt they would all agree with the report, as it contained a plain and simple statement of facts ; and probably they would also agree with him that unless it was printed and circulated it would be useless. He should only say a few words on the subject,—and first, it was a matter of congratulation that at least the society had not receded, whilst, on the other hand, it was a matter of deep regret that there should be so many as one hundred and fifty applicants for whom they were unable to provide. (Hear, hear.) This should stimulate to greater exertions. He also regtetted that they had been obliged to sell out some portion (he hoped only a small portion) of their funded property. That should stimulate them to use every exertion to obtain further subscriptions, more especially when so large a portion of the funds of the society as one-twelfth part was appropriated to this diocese. (Cheers.) No doubt the diocese was populous, and it was only natu ral to suppose that there should be a large sum given to it ; but still, after having received so large a sum as £1,200 during the past year, he could not help saying they had not done as much as they ought towards the support of so excellent an institution. If it was true that it was the most populous, it was also true that it was the wealthiest—(cheers ;)—and he (the venerable archdeacon) had been so long in this town, and knew so much of the generosity of the inhabitants of the town and neighbour hood, that he thought when these facts became known throughout the diocese, they would not again have reason to regret the state of the society. (Cheers.) The motion was seconded by Mr. J. B. BRANCKER, and carried unanimously. The Hon. and Rev. HORACE POWYS, rector of War rington, proposed the next resolution, which was as fol lows :—" That with the approval of the diocesan, and with the co-operation of the archdeacons and rural deans in their respective archdeaconries and deaneries, or with their permission, an appeal be made throughout the diocese, with the view of obtaining increased con tributions, so as to meet more effectually the present exigencies of the society." He was much gratified to be present at a meeting of the diocese, presided over by his Lordship, but regretted much that a society, being, as it was, a Church Society, having a noble object in view, was not better supported. In coming to the meeting he could not but express his surprise, as well as his disappointment, at the attendance. He had come over to Liverpool in the expectation of seeing a great diocesan meeting. Certainly, he flattered himself that he was going to attend a meeting of a large body of clergymen in the diocese of Chester, as well as a considerable number of laymen, but so far from this, on looking around him he counted about forty-one clergymen and only a very few members of the laity. He recommended that the clergy should be invited by their diocesan to use their best exertions in behalf of all societies founded on Church principles, and connected with the constitution of the Church. (Cheers.) He was told that there were 450 incumbenCies in the diocese, and the sum raised from all those did not quite reach, on an average, 30s. each. He thought, if the clergy generally would use theirexertions, such a society would be properly supported, and he hoped they would not have reason to complain of want of funds. Within the last 48 hours he had been told that a layman had offered, if one large parish was divided, to give the large sum of £5,000 towards an endow ment fund. (Cheers.) He had no doubt, from what he had heard, that the laymen of this town and neighbourhood would be induced to give largely and liberally, finding that their donations would be properly appropriated by the officers of the Church. The hon. speaker pointed out one mode of increasing subscriptions, that weekly collections should be made in accordance with the rubric. He had adopted the plan with the consent of the laity attending his own parish church, and the result was, that never, during the twenty-four years he had been in the parish, had he had so much peace and had never realized so much money. His plan was at the beginning of the year to give notice of the Sundays upon which the collections would be appropriated, and to the different church societies, so that those who wished to give to any particular society could save their contributions for it. After handing over the collections to the societies in the manner described, the rest was appropriated to the poor and for the support of the schools. (Cheers.) Mr. E. ARNAUD, after observing that he believed they were taking a step in the right direction, and expressing a hope that the society would receive additional support, concluded by seconding the motion. The motion was then put by his lordship, and carried unanimously. Mr. HARMOOD BANNER moved the next rosolutiion : " That further efforts be made in Liverpool by inviting the clergy to give annual collections on some convenient day, and that the present subscribers be entreated to as sist in obtaining fresh subscriptions, by inducing their friends to add their contributions to the list." He had no doubt, from the handsome manner in which the clergy had responded to calls which he had made upon them in matters in which he had taken a warm interest, that they would readily comply with the terms of the first portion of the resolution, and arrange for collections in their churches, when they considered the objects which the society had in view. He had also every confidence in the laity rendering them every assistance. Business had no doubt prevented the attendance of many of the laity, but he had every confidence that, when the report which had been laid before them, they would not be found wanting in their support of such an excellent object, for the pro motion of which the present meeting had been called. The Rev. C. H. BURTNO, incumbent of St. Philip's, in this town, seconded the motion, and suggested that, in order to make the proposed collections in the churches available for the purposes of the society, they should take places simultaneously in all the churches. There were now so many collections for different objects, that the clergy experienced great difficulty in obtaining contribu tions to them all. _ The resolution was passed unanimously. The Rev. Rector CANIPBELL next came forward to pro pose the fourth resolution, which was as follows :—"That this meeting is desirous of directing attention to the en dowment fund connected with this society, and to the importance of endeavouring to provide permanent endow ments for churches, with a view to increase the free ac commodation in them for the working classes." Before he proceeded to the consideration of the resolution which he had just read, lie wished to say two or three words on what had been remarked by his friend Mr. Powis, who always expressed himself with strong feelings of sincerity and zeal. With reference to the attendance at the present meeting, his experience taught him that they could not reasonably expect the laity of the town of Liverpool, to attend such meetings in any large numbers, at that hour of the day, but he was quite satisfied that, although they might not he with them in body, they were there in spirit. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the clergy of the diocese who were absent, excuses had been sent from several clergymen who were prevented from at tending by prior engagements, and other causes. Amongst the letters sent from those who could not attend, the four canons had sent excuses of this nature, but though they were unable to be present, some of them had forwarded their subscriptions. (Hear, hear.) [Letters expressing their inability to attend, had also been received from the Rev. J. G. Hopwood, of Knowsley,the Rev. J. Jones, and the Rev. R. Gwillym, rural deans, and several other cler gymen.] With regard to the society itself, he did not think it necessary to say much in its praise. The voluntary system, as a national system, had been proved to be a failure, and must continue to be so until the members of the Church of England became more alive to their responsibilities as churchmen than they seemed to be at present. Not that he wished to make any remarks preju dicial to the voluntary system. In proof of what was done amongst dissenters, he might inform the meeting that a dissenting friend of his, on whom he could rely, informed him the other day that at the chapel which he frequented they raised for their minister and the purposes of the chapel, no less a sum than £l2OO a year, and this sum was so raised by a species of ballot. The money was put into a box, and at the end of the year the box was opened, when there was last year found in it the sum of £1,200, without a single name attached to it. The gentleman told him (Mr. Campbell) that they gave their minister £lOO a year, and were ready to increase it, as his family increased. He named this as an argument to stimulate their friends in the Church, and would say to them, in the language of Scripture, " Go and do ye like wise." If one dissenting congregation in Liverpool could raise this sam annually, surely the Churchmen of Liver pool ought to be able to do the same for the Chester Diocesan Society. (Hear.) Although, however, he had named this fact, he did not say that it was an argument in favour of the voluntary system. There was no doubt that the voluntary system was generally successful in populous localities, and where there were popular preachers; but all localities were not wealthy; and there were not always popular preachers amongst them. Their ministers were not all gifted, as some were, with a great measure of heavenly eloquence ; and therefore it was that the voluntary system, and dis senting congregations, were not generally to be found in the poorer parts of the town, but in the neighbourhoods of the wealthy. The poet had said—" The vine loves the hill ;" and so the voluntary system and dissent loved the high places amongst men, where it might bask in the sunshine of wealth, and so it came to this that the poor were left to the tender mercies of the Church of England and the inroads of the Church of Rome. He need scarcely say that all this was a powerful argument for the members of the Church of England to provide for their poorer brethren. This he would say, that what Dr. Wiseman had called the slums of the great towns, ought to be more closely attended to by the members of the Church of England ; and Dr. Wiseman ought not to be allowed to carry into those districts the chaff of human tradition, whilst the ministers of our own pure church could feed them with the wheat of religious truth. ( Hear, hear). The Rev. JOHN STEWART seconded the motion, and warmly urged extensive free accommodation being provided for the poor in the different churches in the town. _ _ The resolution having been caraied unanimously Mr. Churchwarden BANNER proposed, and Mr. E. C. DEANE seconded, the following resolution :—" That the cordial thanks of this meeting be presented to the diocesan, for his kindness in presiding." The resolution was carried with much applause. The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the com pliment, paid a high compliment to the liberality of the Liverpool public in supporting religious objects. With reference to what had been said by Mr. Powys, as to the best means of the clergy procuring efficient aid to the so. ciety from the laity, and the suggestion that he threw out that he (the bishop) should issue orders to the clergy, he might remark that it was not in his power to give any orders to the clergy for such an object, and perhaps he might observe that it was a power about which he should entertain very great doubts in exercising, if it was even entrusted to him. He hoped that all his clergy would feel that they had not only his approbation and good will for the success of the society, but he also hoped that they would make use of their pulpits towards its support, judging themselves for the best according to local circum stances which came before them. The same rule could not, of course, be applied to every church and every locality, but he could not suppose that it was deemed necessary that he should be looked to in order to make the voices of the clergy heard in their own pulpits, in aid of the society whenever they might think that local circumstances justi fied it. It must not be considered that any such autho rity was required from him. He considered that this diacese peculiarly called for the assistance of such a society as the one they were met to promote, for it was in the midst of a large population, amongst which both churches and clergymen were much wanted to visit the poor, which was the only effectual way of bringing them to the church. He did therefore hope that this society would commend itself both to the clergy and the laity, and that when they met again they should have a great increase both of funds and members. With respect to the permanent endow ment of churches, he very much approved of it, and he suggested that in any new churches to be built, the society should make provision for their per manent endowment. (Hear, hear. He was not going to open the question of the voluntary system ; but he did think that there should be something more certain for the endowment of churches than appeals to the different congregations. At present the clergy, to a great extent. had to depend for their incomes upon pew-rents ; but it so happened that the poor had not the means of paying pew-rents, and therefore it was exceedingly desi rable to provide a permanent endowment fund. After again expressing himself warmly in favour of the suc cessful operations of the society, the right rev. prelate dissolved the meeting by pronouncing the benediction. COUNTY COURT, YESTERDAY --..,* On the sitting of the court this morning, his Honour gave judgment in the following important cases : THE LATE COLLISION BETWEEN THE STEAMER. NIONA AND THE UNITED STATES STEAM-SHIP ARCTIC COTESWORTH V. HAMILTON. The plaintiffs in this case are the proprietors of the Liverpool Steam-tug Company, (represented by Mr. Cotesworth,) and the defendants Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., of this town, agents for the United States and Liverpool Mail Steam-ship Company. His Hoivouß gave judgment as follows :—This action is brought, by consent, for the sum of £135, the plaintiff being the proprietor of a steam-tug belonging to this port, . . called the Mona, against the defendant, who, for the . pur poses of this action, is admitted to be resident in Liver pool, as owner of the Arctic, one of the so-called "Collins lira" of steamers, trading with goods and passengers be. tween Liverpool and the United States. The sum I have mentioned is the amoont of the damages occasioned by a collision between the two vessels in question, and upon the circumstances under which that collision took place the claim of the plaintiff is founded. In a case in which I am compelled to rely on my own judgment, unassisted by that practical experience to which other tribunals are per mitted to resort on such subjects, and where various new questions, both of law and fact, have been laid before me, I think it better, for the interest of the parties themselves, to state the conclusions of fact at which I have arrived, and the legal inference which I draw from such conclusions, without entering upon the arguments at home influenced my own mind. I find, then, that the Mona is a steam. vessel of 110 feet in length, and seventy horse-power ; that the Arctic is 295 feet long, and is of 900 horse-power ; that on the first of January, 1852, the day on which this collision took place, the Mona was hired by the owners of the Earl Grey, a deeply laden brig of about 240 tons hurthen, to take the latter vessel out to sea. That the Earl Grey, riding flood, was anchored in the River Mer. soy, about mid channel, or somewhere nearer the Cheshire side of the river, between the Prince's Pier and Seacombe wail, and had on board a pilot duly licensed in that be half. That about six in the morning of the day mentioned, the Mona, with the Earl Grey in tow, and with about thirty to forty fathoms of hauzer, proceeded to take the latter vessel from the aforesaid place of her anchorage out to sea, heading, in the first instance, by direction of the pilot on board the Earl Grey, whose orders were obeyed throughout by the crew of the Mona, N.N.E. That it was a fine and clean, but dark morning, it being about flood tide, with a light breeze from the S.W. That the Mona had the Admiralty lights, and the Earl Grey a white light on her foremast. That shortly after the Mona had started (the Earl Grey continuing to be towed by her down to the time of the collision) wickets thrown up and guns fired by the crew of the Arctic, then, according tto he chart in evidence before mo, at a distance of nearly three miles, intimated to those on board the two former vessels that an American steamer was approaching from the north, and that it was known to those on board the Mona and Earl Grey that the moorings of such steamer, to which they knew she would then proceed, wore near Rock Ferry, a place in the river, some three miles to the south of that at which the Mona and Earl Grey had then arrived. That very shortly, that is in about two or three minutes afterwards, the three lights of the Arctic, placed as usual, became visible, and therefore the Mona, by direction of the pilot of the Earl Grey, ported her helm, so as to cross towards the eastern or Liverpool side of the river, with the view of passing between the Arctic and the eastern shore. That some three or four minutes after the lights of the Arctic had been seen, as aforesaid, and when the Arctic was at a distance from the Mona of from about one-third to half a mile, the red light of the Arctic was lost to the sight of those on board the Mona and Earl Grey, the Arctic having then starboarded her helm, being steering south-east. That upon this, in obedience to such direc tion of the pilot as aforesaid, the Mona again ported her helm and then put it hard a port, and kept it so, she being then between mid channel and the Liverpool shore, about 400 yards from the latter, and steering at the moment, that is just before she ported her helm as last mentioned, a course nearly parallel with the Liverpool shore, and one not unnsually adopted by steam-tugs towing vessels out to sea. That the course pursued by the Mona for some minutes before, and up to almost the very moment of the collision, though not un usual for vessels similariy circnmstanced, was such as would have been pursued by the tender of the Arctic, (the Sampson,) which was known to the parties in all the three vessels, to be in the habit of running alongside the American vessels on their arrival, in order to take the mails off. That the Arctic, continuing to steer steadily to the S.E., was, when from about 300 to 400 yards dis tant from the Mona, hailed several times by the crew of the latter, who shouted to the crew of the Arctic to port their helm. That no answer being given from the Arctic, and no notice taken except as hereafter mentioned, and each of the vessels holding on her course, the Mona hav ing immediately before stopped her engines, but having some way on, a collision ensued, the larboard bow of the Mona, near the stern, or the stern itself, coming in con tact with the Arctic, between the stern and the fore part of the starboard paddle-box of the latter, about 30 or 40 feet from its (the Arctic's) stern. That in consequence of this collision, the Mona suffered damage to the amount sought to be recovered by the plaintiff in this action, and was obliged to be breached on the Cheshire side of the river, with the assistance of the Sampson, steam-boat, the tender of the Arctic, which came up immediately after collision. I find further that about two o'clock on the morning of the Ist of January, the Arctic took in of Anglesea, a duly licenced and an author. ised pilot, who thereupon took charge of the vessel, and whose orders were obeyed throughout down to and at the time after the collision. That having continued to sail at full speed until she came to the bell buoy, the Arctic was reduced to half speed. That about six o'clock she was abreast of the Reck Light House, a little to the west of the mid-channel, when guns were fired, and a rocket let off as before mentioned, and when the speed of the Arctic was reduced as much as possible, that is, to about four knotts an hour. That all hands were then on deck, two instead of one of the ordinary number, being placed at the helm, the third officer at the , the pilot on the star board paddle-box, the captain and first officer opposite the pilot, on the starboard side of the upper deck, close to the pilot, to see his orders conveyed immedietely to the engine room, by wire and bell, (the most efficient niethod,) and the second officer and the boatswain, with two othersof the crew, being placed on the top-gallant forecastle as a look out, every precaution being so far taken to ensure the safe progressofthe vessel. That when the Arctic waspursuingher course towards her moorings, near Rock Ferry, and was abreast of the magazines, a ship (the San Dusky) which had no lights on board her, was announced ahead, lying a little to the west of the mid channel. That in order to clear this vessel by the directions of the pilot, the helm of the Arctic was starboarded for not more than two minutes, her course being thus changed about two points, and then, by a similar order, steadied. That the Arctic, on the last mentioned order being obeyed, did not keep as far as was practicable to that side of the fair way, or mid channel of the river, which lay on her starboard side, but did come back within about one point of her former course. That she was then about 200 or 300 yards to the east of what she would have been had she not been corn- pelled to starboard her helm for the vessel in the river, and that she headed as she continued up to and at the time of the collision, about south-east, adopting a course not unusually pursued by such steamers, and one about parallel with the course of the river at such place. That at this time a light on the starboard bow being announced on board the Arctic, the white and green lights of a vessel (the Mona) were seen about two points on the starboard bow of the Arctic, and from about one-third to about half a mile off her. That in about two to three minutes afterwards, and some three minutes before, collision took place, the red light of the Mona, along with her other lights, as well as the hull of the vessel, were seen by those on board the Arctic, and announced to the pilot when the Mona was somewhat less than a quarter of a mile distant. That neither the light nor the hull of the Earl Grey being then observed by those on board the Arctic, and the course pursued by the Mona being similar to that which would have been pursued by the tender of the Arctic (the Sampson) the lights of the Mona were supposed br those on board the Arctic to be the lights of the tender approaching them, in consequence of which the Arctic held on her course. That about this time some shouting from those on board the Mona was heard by those on board the Arctic ; but was not under stood by the latter, who believed that their tender was approaching, that the hailing meant that they should come alongside, and that there was no danger. That when the Mona was ahout 60 or 70 feet of the Arctic, the approaching steamer was for the first time observed to have a vessel in tow, when orders to stop and reverse were immediately given, and obeyed, on board the Arctic, and the pilot of the last named vessel called out more than once to the crew of the Mona to stop her and starboard her helm. That almost instantly after the order to stop and reverse had been so given and obeyed on board the Arctic, the collision took place, the Arctic having then but little way on, and going at the rate of about one knot an hour. I find, further, upon these facts, that if, when the three lights of the Mona were first observed on board the Arctic, the former had starboarded her helm, she and the vessel which she had in tow would, in all probability, have gone clear of the Arctic, supposing the latter had continued to pursue steadily, as she did, the course which she was then steer ing ; but that such a course of proceeding on the part of the Mona was, under all the circumstances, at least doubt ful in point of prudence. Thnt if at the same time, (that is when the three lights of the Mona were first seen by those on board the Arctic,) the latter had ported her helm, she would, in all probability, have sunk the Mona, or the brig which she had in tow. I find, also, upon the evidence before me, that if, when the three lights of the Mona were first observed by those on board the Arctic, the light or hull of the Earl Grey, in tow of the Mona, had been perceived by them, the colli sion, or at least the damage resulting from it might have been avoided by stopping and reversing the engines of the Arctic, a course which, under such circumstances, would have been dictated by ordinary care and caution. That the light at least, if not the hull of the E-rl Grey in tow of the Mona, might, if a sufficiently careful look-out had been kept, have been observed by the pilot and crew of the Arctic in time to have avoided the collision, by stopping and reversing the engines of the latter, and that but for the impression on the minds of both the pilot and crew of the Arctic that the lights of the approaching vessel were those of her (the Arctic's) tender, the Sampson, the light, if not the hull, of the Earl Grey would probably have attracted their attention in suffi cient time for the adoption of such a proceeding as last mentioned. I find, upon these facts, that both the pilot and the crew of the Arctic were to blame in not keeping, under the circumstances, a sufficiently careful look-out, and that the absence of such look out led to this collsion ; that the accident did not arise entirely from the fault of the pilot, but was occasioned by the joint negligence of the pilot and crew, and that the plaintiffs are, therefore, entitled to recover the amount claimed.

So great, and so decided has been the change, that we have perhaps had more business done to-day than during the ten days previous. Some stocks have been pushed to a price that there is little prospect of the dividend justifying—such as Cale donians; of these, at the advance, there have been some heavy bond fide sales. Our local stocks con tinue in great demand, especially the Insurance shares, of which there are many buyers. Leeds Canal shares and Exchange Building are also asked for.

In the articles of TEA, RICE, JUTE, RUM,—in fact in most of the important articles in our produee market, an advance in prices is to be noted. TO -DAY, the SUGAR market remains without change, but the sales are confined to 800 bags grainy Bengal at 375. to 395. 6d., and 500 bags white Benares at 375. 6d. to 395., per cwt. Of MOLASSES, 400 puns. Cuba Muscovado, an old import, have brought 16s. 6d. per cwt. Nothing has taken place in Rum. 700 bags St. Domingo COFFEE have been sold, but the exact price has not transpired, and a small lot of Bahia COCOA at 255. per cwt. There is not much doing in the TEA market, the trade waiting for the Congous ex "Race Horse" and "Patna" to be brought forward. There has been a revival in the demand for RICE, 5400 bags Arracan, to arrive, having been purchased at 10s., 1800 bags on the spot at the same price, and a small parcel of Bengal at 13s. 6d. per cwt. We have also to add 150 bags black PEPPER St 3id. per lb., and a few casks of COCOA NUT OIL. COTTON.—We had a very quiet market last 1 1 week ; sales only 20,8000 bales, with a decline of 1-16 d. to id. on all kinds. The Europa's advices mention an advance of Id. to Id. at New York, and a firm market; at New Orleans, middling 91d., freight .Id. to 9.16 d., and exchanges declining. Cotton imported at these prices would leave a loss to the importers, who, consequently, put very little on the market ; it appears, therefore, that the decline has been caused more by needy speculators, who, in the excitement of the market last month, went beyond their means. Nothing has occurred to justify such a serious fall. It is true the weather had been propitious for picking ; during the last month, however, the estimates were still varying between 2,700,000 and 3,000,000 bales; and it has been sufficiently proved that, in order to meet the present consumption, a crop of more than three million bales willl be required. The uresent decline only shows that, after a large business has been transacted for several weeks at an advance, it re quires very little to turn the market, and put in oblivion all reasons and demonstrations of the soundness of the position of the article. When holders have had sufficient time to reflect, they will be again as firm as before. From the fullness of the rivers, the crop has come in faster this year than during the same time in previous years. Up to December last year the receipts were small. In December they increased to 82,000 bales ; in January to 114,000 bales per week. If not before, there will, douhtless, be a falling off in the receipts in December; and when we find, at the end of the year, that the consumption is larger than generally expected, speculators will not remain inactive. With a continuance of similar advices to the last, we shall probably see, during the next few weeks, prices at the lowest point. We scarcely anticipate a further decline; the cheapneas of money and the facilities for hold ing Cotton bought and imported at higher prices will prevent holders from making further sacrifices. Though the stocks in the American ports show an increase of 37,000 balea, there is a decrease of 50,000 bales in those of the inferior firms.. Spin ners took of the last crop 200,000 bales more than of the previous one, and have already taken since the Ist September 74,000, against 60,000 bales last year. To-day we received the accounts pea Nia gara, up to the 9th instant from New York, and by telegraph to the 9th from New Orleans. Prices had advanced per cent. on both markets. The receipts for the week were 85,000 bales, against 52,000 bales last year; and the shipment to Great Britain 18,000 against 9,000. The weather was fine, and three million bales appears now the more general estimate of the crop. The market here was steady, and with rather a better feeling before the steamer's news were known. Sales estimated at 5,000 bales, closing rather flat.
