THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT.—The political annual for thd Roman States has just been published It contains the following facts :—On the 18th instant the Pope will haue accomplished his 79th year. He has occupied the Holy See since the 2d of February, 1831. The sacred college consists of 60 cardinals, six of whom are cardinal bishops, 44 cardinal-priests, and ten cardinal-deacons. There are still lining two cardinals, created by Pius VII., Oppizan! and Rim io Sforza, and seven by Leo XII. The 51 remaining were appointed by the present Pope. Mon signor Tardini, the oldest cardinal, is 85 years of age, and the youngest. Monsignor Schwartzenberg, 35. At the close of 1843 Rome possessed a population of 170,701 in habitants, exclusive of the Israelites. NEW DOCKS.—The new dock works north end of Clarence Dock are already actively progressing. Nearly all the ground is fenced in, and the eastern boundary wall, as far as Bullen's Mill, is erected. The several occupants of the houses to be pulled down have received notice to quit. At the south end of the Brunswick Dock, also, active preparathns are making to commence of cations. H ATS.—The only objection that has hitherto been urged against light hats, (for their general adoption more titan their durability) is that after comparatively little wear the grease from the hair finds its way to the exterior, completely destroying their beauty—but so long as there is a defect invention will never cease to suggest until the evil is effectually removed. Ic will be seen by the adver tisement of Mr. Jupp, of Lord-street, than an anti grease Paris hat is now offered to the public. It has been highly approved of in the Metropolis and will doubt less be equally received in Liverpool. - - IMPORTANT TO THE FASHIONABLE WORLD.—By far the most influential of the graces that contribute to per sonal adornment is the Hair. Its recovery, preservation, and improvement, proportionably concern the elegantes of our fashionable circles, and any information which will ensure these desirable results will be hailed as an inesti mable boon. The following ( xtract from the letter of a respectable chemist in Bridlington will be read with the highest interest :—" A lady, a custo er of mine, has found great benefit from the use o sour Balm.

Considering the short notice, this regatta came very well off, on Wednesday and Thursday, the 25th and 26th inst. The yacht race did not take place until the latter day, but was advertised for the one previous. On Thurs day morning, as the day advanced, the sun was bright and beautiful, and gave to Lancaster Bay and surround ing mountain scenery a very beautiful appearance. There was a spanking breeze at E.N.E., which was considered very favourable for the success of the largest yachts in temled to contend for the £25 cup. A time race was fixed upon, 25 seconds per ton for a 20 mile race allowed for difference of tonnage. The following yachts only ar rived, on account of the shortness of the notice, and en tered for the race : Seagull, R. T. Y.C., 31 tons, H. Melling, Esq. Mermaid, R. T. Y. C. 24 tons, J. Grindrod, Esq. Ivanhoe, 8 tons, — l Webb, Esq. The course was from the station vessel, off the Town, round the screw-pile lighthouse, at the foot of Wyre, 21- miles off, and from thence to a vessel moored about seven miles at sea, off Lancaster Bay, and back again to the station vessel. The yachts started by signal, a gun fired a little after one, P.M. The Ivanhoe started first, the Mer maid six minutes and forty seconds afterwards, and the Seagull should have started at two minutes fifty-five se conds after, but on account of the flood-tide catching her bow at the time, and giving her a strong cant the wrong way, and causing her side to be driven strongly against the mooring buoy to which she was fastened ; it held her firmly, and it was some time before her crew could get her on the right tack again. By this accident, she had a false start of two minutes forty-five seconds; but on get ting fairly away, she set off at a spankir ' , rate after her opponents, and by the time she arrived at the Screw-pile lighthouse, she gained nearly two minutes on the Mer maid. Shortly afterwards the Mermaid overhauled the Ivanhoe, and left all chance of her success out of the question. The Seagull carried her large topsail to make up for her lost time, and it did its duty, and brought her up to the Mermaid by the time the yachts arrived at the seaward distance mark. The yachts had hitherto been running off the wind with flowing sheets. The Mermaid about this time changed her gib, for a smaller one, to be ready for hauling on a wind on rounding the vessel moored off the bay, to be rounded previous to turning back again. The breeze was very fresh the whole day, but occasionally lulled, and the crew of the Seagull in tended to have taken in their topsail in rounding, and setting a smaller one. The Ivanhoe carried away her masthead, but, notwithstanding this misfortune, she had not the slightest chance of running with her formidable antagonists, with the breeze and sea that was in the bay. The Mermaid rounded the windward mark one minute before the Seagull, the latter yacht having gained nearly five minutes in this run outwards. The Mermaid is a fine weatherly little vessel of her tonnage—and, from her being nicely adjusted in her sails, in hauling on the wind, she kept her place well, and gained on the Seagull on a long windward tack up the hay. The crew of the Semtuti deemed it advisable not to change her topsail on rounding, as was contemplated, on account of the wind moderating ; but the wind freshening again, it was too much for her, and t aused her to fall to leeward, and being on the wrong tack could not be taken off her. On running up Wyre again to the station vessel, the Seagull gained on the Mermaid, but the topmast which had hitherto carried her large topsail so gallantly, gave way, and fell to leeward. The Mermaid came in the winning vessel two minutes and some few seconds, and, but for the false start of the Seagull, would have won the cup by about 25 seconds, The silver salver, of £l5 value, was contested for by three beautiful gigs, and was won, we believe, by the Lancaster crew. Other races took place in the course of the day for minor prizes, and gave much amusement. There was a regatta dinner at the Crown Hotel, Sir lies keth Fleetwood, M.P., in the chair ; and a ball, at the North Euston, finished the week's amusement. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY. The Rev. Hugh M'Neile preached a charity sermon, on Sunday morning, at St. Jude's church, in aid of the Church of England School Society, upon the merits and origin of which he enla , ged at some length. He reminded bis hearers that it was established in consequence of the municipal authorities of the town having introduced the Irish system of education into the Corporation schools and persevered with a continuance of that system, despite the remonstrances and entreaties of the Protestant portion of the community. It was, he said, under such circum stances that himself and others of the clergy had felt it their bounden duty to come forward and expose its hol lowness and call upon the Christian public to establish schools in which the unrestricted use of the word of God should be recognized as the distinguishing characteristic. Had the Irish system been introduced into seminaries for the education of the children of the wealthy and influential interfered, because of society the clergy would not have because they considered those classes fully competent to form a judgment as to the so. t of instruction, temporal and spiritual, which it was desirable that their offspring should receive; but, when that system had been introduced into schools for the education of the children of the poor, it became the manifest duty of the clergy to put the public on their guard. The consequence was, that, though they failed in producing any effect upon the municipal body, they succeeded in arousing the town to a sense of the danger, and, as the result, the Church of England School Society was established. In the outset those schools were most liberally supported ; but now they were de manding efficient aid, He regretted to think that they were not upheld, at present, with the same generous hard a' at the outset of their career. Some of the original subscribers had " fallen asleep ;" their successors had rot considered it their duty to continue the annual subscrip tions; the church subscriptions, which originally amounted to £550, had, last year, fallen to £250; and, notwith standing the expressed wishes of the rectors and committee, some of the local clergy (why, he knew not, they best knew themselves) would not, he believed, make any collections in their churches for the institution in the present year. In all there were twelve scho o l s i n con nection with the Society, and the average attendance was 1,880 children. He earnestly hoped that failure in the end would not ensue : if it did, it would cover the original promoters of the scheme with disgrace, as far as failure could do so. He called upon the Protestant public of Liverpool to remember, that this institution aas the banner under which the battle for scriptural education was fought and won; that this was the Ebenezer they had set up; that this was the column they had erected; and that to sustain this banner, to maintain this Ebenezer, and to repair this column was their bounden, their in cumbent duty. The collection, at the close of the ser mon, amounted to £53 18s. Charles Kemble, Esq., was amongst the audience. THE LITTLE TRANSATLANTIC STEAMER, " EARL OF ELGIN." In our paper of the 9th of July last, we furnished some particulars of the beautiful model and fine machinery of "The Earl of Elgin," a very sharp and elegant iron schooner-rigged steamer, of 115 tons burthen—the hull built by Mr. John Laird, of Birkenhead, and the engines (of 32-horse power) by our townsmen, Messrs. George Forrester and Co., for Mr. Thomas Lundie, Oldhall street, and his house in Jamaica, (Messrs. Lundie and Co.) and intended to run from port to port in that colony, with passengei s. The length of tl a voyage, with so compara tively small a vessel, however scientifically constructed, naturally excited considerable interest amongst nautical men, and we partook of the anxiety they expressed ; yet aware of her excellent qualities from personal inspection, we ventured an opinion at the time, that, (bating some untoward accident which the largest ships cannot always escape,) we had no doubt but she would reach her des tined haven in safety. It will be gratifying to all inter ested in the progress and achievements of steam and also o sailing navigation to learn that our hopes have been fully realized. She made a fine run out; steamed for, 8 days only, and sailed the remainder of her passage. She called at the island of Antigua for supplies, and after wards reached Kingston, from that colony, in five days. Her appearance was hailed with the greatest enthusiasm by all classes, and the colonial journals (before us) unite in praises of her beautiful form, admirable engines,and extraordinary speed acknowledging , ; at the same time, the literality and enterprise of her owners in furnishing them with so delightful a mode of conveyance round their island, and w shing them every possible success in their enterprise. Several of them quote the whole of our arti cle describing her. She had commenced running, in lieu of another steamer, belonging to the same parties and requiring to be repaired, between Kings ton, Port Henderson, and Port Royal, and had given the utmost satisfaction. One paper states her speed to be " eleven (and more) miles an hour," another, that " she performed the passage from Port Royal to Kingston,"—a distance, by the five-foot channel, of five miles—" in twenty-three minutes ;" and another says, "In these depressed times, when people cannot afford the old, expensive mode of travelling, or conveying their persons and luggage from one part of the country to the other, the facilities afforded for locomotion by a steamer, making a rapid circuit of the island, are gratifying in the extreme, and will doubtless benefit many poor invalids desirous of a cruise, or change of air to recruit their shattered health." We heartily congratulate the owners, and also the builders, on this success of " The Earl of Elgin," and with regard to her safe arrival out—as we thought much of the voyages of "The Royal William," to and from New York, before we had larger vessels on the station—we may surely say of a craft not a fourth of her size, " Well done little one!" DEATH FROM FIGHTING.—On Sunday morning, at Chelsea, a man named George Benson, a labourer, was killed in a fight which took place by appointment between him and a man harried Henry Jones. We are anxious to call the attention of our readers to a periodical work, which appears to us to be peculiarly cal culated for family reading; in fact, suited to supply a great desideratum in our periodical literature ;—a work embodying truly Christian principles; not so abstruse in its character as to be unintelligible or repulsive to young readers, yet solid and improving; and, while quite flee from frivolousness, entertaining and attractive. All these advantages meet itt " THE CHRISTIAN MOTHER'S MAGAZINE,"--5 periodical recently established, and of which Mrs. Milner, the author of several popular works, is the editor. This excellent magazine needs only to be known in order to be duly appreciated. The religious papers which it contains bear the impress of great ability; no less than of true Christian piety. The papers on familiar astronomy, of which we rejoice to observe that the series is not yet completed, are beyond all praise ; and the various articles on education have each great and peculiar merit. In short, we are confident that we cannot do a grower service to all classes of the reading public than by recom mending to their attention this admirable and attractive magazine. No family should be without it. SAILING MACHINE OR LAND CUTTER. At the monthly meeting of the Polytechnic Society of this town, Mr. Grantham, the president, exhibited a heau tiful model of a machine constructed with four wheels, and propelled by sails similar to rn ordinary cutter. He stated that thie e.nehine was iny , eted by the late Sir James Oxenden, of Su-.ee, end tie ,;:del had lately been pre sented to him (Mr. G.) :i.e baronet's son. Having made some remarks es lee advantage to mechanical men of being able to exeedne machines, even should they not be of general utility, provided the means adopted were of a scientific character, and well adapted to perform the office for which they were intended, Mr. Grantham pro ceeded to describe the contrivance then before the meet ing—he thought it might be considered under this class; but, although not of general application, there were situa tions in which it could be rendered available. Many sail ing machines had been made, but he could not hear of any that had been attended with the same success as that in the possession of Mr. Oxenden. The original ma chine was of large dimensions, and had been used on various occasions during the last ten years. Like the model before them it had a triangular body—its width over the front wheels was 12 feet, end at the hind wheels about 5 feet. It was about 20 feet long, not including the bowsprit, which was about 12 feet. It was steered by a tiller attached to the hind wheels, which swiveled simi larly to the front wheels of a four-% heeled carriage, and was very manageable. It had attained a speed of nearly 35 miles per hour on Ascot Heath. It would beat to windward like a sailing vessel, but much more rapidly— running within 34 points of the wind. Mr. Grantham explained his opinion of the causes of this superiority. The limit of power that a sail possessed, when on a wind, was to be found in the proportion of force which it ex erted in the direction of keel, compared with the amount of resistance in the vessel itself. Now, with a floating body the resistance increases as the square of the velocity, but with a carriage on lend the resistance is nearly the same at all velocities ; therefore to maintain sufficient speed to perform the necessary evolutions in beating to windward requires much less force in the latter case than in the former. The same reasoning applies even when running before the wind. Mr. GRANTHAM stated that. he tried the model on the Bootle Sands, and it seemed in every respect to confirm all that he had heard of its qualifications from Mr. Oxen den: indeed be considered it a highly scientific and inter esting machine, refl , cting great credit on the inventer. The model may be seen at the office of this paper dur ing the day ; and may be afterwards inspected at Mr. Grantham's office, in Orange. court, Castle-street,—that ' gentleman having kindly offered to show and explain it to any one desirous of knowing its principle and mode of construction. The principle of propelling carriages by sails is, as we have stated, by no means new, but we have seen no machine so well contrived, to avert the danger of upsetting, and to beat to windward, and, with a fresh. breeze, to attain a high speed, as this. There is a wind carriage at Southport, of a plaine‘ and less scientific kind, which frequently, in the summer season, conveys pleasure parties along the sands from that place to the boat-house at Formby, and occasionally at a good speed. [The following, which appeared last week in our Town Edition, is re-inserted for the perusal of distant Subscribers.] MANCHESTER.-MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 16. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Our market during the past week may be reported on the whole as firm. On Tuesday there appeared a dispo sition to purchase, but generally lower rates were offered, though in no case submitted to. In this state of things but little business was transacted, more especially in goods suited to the American markets. Our home trade is also in a healthy condition with firm prices. In yarns a little more has been done, and at firm prices. Towards the end of the week a somewhat better feeling prevailed and consequently a more extensive bt siness was transacted. The arrival of the Overland Mail relieved many of our merchants from great apprehension. The commercial intelligence brought by this mail is on the whole favour able, and many orders hare been received. The accounts brought from America are also said to be favourable, with a fair amount of orders. The prosperous state of our manufacturing pursuits has stimulated the operatives to ask for a share of the ad vantages of the improved state of trade, and they have therefore determined to ask for an advance of wages. They have issued a respectful circular to their masters but as yet no answers have been received. THE LEAGUERS AND THE REGISTRATION COURTS. At ten o'clock this morning the revising barristers for this division of the county commenced their labours at Ashton - under- Ly ne and Newton-le-Willows. Mr. Brand reth presided at Newton. At an early hour Mr. Hickin, secretary to the League, accompanied by Acland, their lecturer, John Gadsby, and several others, reached New ton. Mr. Henry Coppock, of the firm of Coppock and Woollam, solicitors, Stockport, and Mr. Worthington, solicitor, of Manchester, appeared for the Leaguers ; Mr. Ackersley, solicitor, of Wigan, and Mr. Wagstaff, solici tor, of Warrington, appeared to defend the Conservative voters objected to. On the opening of the court, consi derable time was occupied in testing the validity of the objections served by the Leaguers. It appeared that a very peat number had been signed by Mr. Gadsby, with out his having any knowledge of the parties ; and it was argued that such a system of wholesale objecting to voters was vitiating the spirit of the law and intentions of the legislature. The barrister decided that Mr. Gadsby, being on the list of voters, was qualified to object to any other on the list. It was next object: to that the Mr. Gadsby de scribed in the register w is not the Mr. Gadsby who signed the Ojections, but Mr. Hickin proved that the signature attached to the objections was that of John Gadsby, as descr;bed on the register of voters. Mr. Gadsby's objections were, therefore, held to be good. Mr. Gadsby was present, but it was deemed inadvisable j to call him, and in each case Acland proved his hand writing. The court sat until five o'clock, at which time something like 40 claims and objections bad been disposed of. If, therefore, the courts get on at the same pace, it is probable teat the barristers may finish their labours in this cenn'y by the n onto of May or June next. The objections :aken by the Leaguers are in most cases owing to some little informality in the description on the regis ter, and the barrister has decided that wherever he feels himself c .11ed upon to alter the description, he cannot award costs. From the nature of the objections brought before the court to-day, there is every reason to believe that if the conservatives attend the courts, but few votes will be struck off the list. Notwithstanding the immense number of objections issued by the leaguers, they have lost more votes to-day than the conservatives. This ought to be a stimulant for the friends of conservatism to a' tendthe courts and substantiate their votes. At Ashton under-Lyne the court was alto occupied, before anything like a rule was laid down, and have not during the day pro , ceeded much more rapidly than the court at Newton. SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAYS. At 2 o'clock yesterday weeka meeting of Liverpool share holders in the Manchester, Ashton-under. Line, and Shef field Railway was held at the Clarendon Rooms, for the purpose of hearing the advantages derivable from an ex tension of the line to Lincoln and Gainsburgh, explained by Messrs. Haywood, Bramley, and Gainsford, solicitors, of Sheffield. Mr. Gainsford delivered a long address, i n the course of which he showed that Sheffield, with its 120,000 inhabitants, lay in a direct line between Lincoln and Manchester, and that a railway through that town would open the shortest, quickest, and cheapestro t u h t e e from Lincoloshile to Manchester, intersecting, at same time, the largest amount of population and of trade that can possibly be accommodated by any line of railway in the intermediate country. Amongst other places to be intersected by this line will be the market towns of Worksop andßetford, vihich carry on an extensive malting business almost exclusively with Manchester. A careful survey has be en comp l e t e d , t h e result of which appears to be that th e line presents no en gineering difficulties, that the works are light, the gradi ents favorable, and that it will be of the most etonomical character, both as to construction and working. An ar rangement has been made with the Sheffield and Manches ter Railway Company, by which a net minimum revenue of four per cent. per annum on the capital expended is guaranteed to the subscribers in this company, with an equal division of the further profits between the two com panies ; and a clause wi.l be inserted in the act for payment of interest at the rate of four per cent on all calls until the opening of the line, which may be expected in 18 months after the passing of the act. A number of questions were asked by Mr. Holland, of Preston, were very satisfactorily answered ; and et the close of Mr. Gainsford's address, the meeting adjourned, evidently very favourably impressed with th,i important advantages to be derived from the extension, and fully satisfied with his explanations on the various points in dispute. Lord Stanley has arrived at Wiseton, near Bawtry, on a visit to Earl Spencer, from Knowsley hall, Lancashire. The Earl of Harrowby and Viscount and Lady Frances Sandon and family arrived at Harrogate, on Thursday week, from Sandon Hall, Staffordshire. The noble earl has ;or some years past annually visited that watering place, and has invariably derived great benefit from taking the waters. - - PRICE or WBEAT. — The retrogade movement in the prices of wheat has not yet received a check, the farmers ;ontinuing to bring larger supplies than the demand for immediate consumption can take off. We are inclined to think, however, that the value of the article has now nearly touched the lowest point; at present very good wheat, weighing 631bs. to 64'bs. per bushel, may be bought in trany parts of the country at 435. to 445. per quarter. We sincerely hope that increased production may in some measure compensate the agriculturists for the lowness of the price, but feel disposed to counsel caution; as, by pressing sales, the depreciation is likely to be increased. —Mark-lane Express. BANK OF ENGLAND.—The first practical effect of the recent alterations in the Bank of England. appears in the following notice, which was posted at the-Bank ;—'.‘ Bank of England, Sept. sth, 1844. At a Court of Directors, held this day, resolved, that the rate of interest for bills and notes discounted at the Bank of England be as fol lows :—Bills, 21 per cent. ; Notes, 3 per cent. Such bilLs and notes not having more than ninety-five days to rum', We (Chronicle) suppose that in future the Bank will commence trading upon the footing of any private es tablishment, and the probable consequence will of course be to make money more abundant than ever. The re duction iu the rates of discount will be sensibly felt by country bankers, with whom the establishment of Thread needle-street may now be anticipated to act in open com petition. !s -le! ea be olc it , lie •th o f i s ( of ree'
