For detailed Prospectus see LIVERPOOL STANDARD of September 3 and 10. The Line will unite with the projected Wakefield, Lin coln, and Boston Railway, now merged in the London and York, constituting, in conjunction with that Line, the best and most comprehensive system of Railway commu nication between the Agricultural Districts of Lincoln shire and the Eastern Counties, and the populous Manu facturing Towns of Yorkshire and Lancashire. From a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately taken, the Promoters feel themselves fully warranted in stating that a profit of at least £8 per Cent. will be realised on the proposed Capital, after allowing £4O per Cent. for working expenses.

THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT.—The political annual for the Roman States has just been published It contains the following facts :—On the 18th instant the Pope will have 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 living two cardinals, created by Pins VII., Oppizani and Riaiio 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 Schwai tztnberg. 35. At the close of 1813 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, rctive preparatins are makit;g to commence operations. H ATS.—The only objection that has hitherto been ! urged against light hats, (for their general adoptio n more ! than their durability) is that after comparative7y 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 r xtract from the letter of a respectable chemist in Bridlington will be read with the highest interest :—" A lady, a customer of mine, h as found great benefit from the use of your Balm.

Considering the short notice, this regatta came very yell off, on Wednesday and Thursday, the 25th and 26th nst. The yacht race did not take place until the latter lay, but was advertised for the one previous. On Thurs ' lay morning, as the day advanced, the sun was bright ind beautiful, and gave to Lancaster Bay and surround ng mountain scenery a very beautiful appearance. There vas a spanking breeze at E.N.E., which was considered very favourable for the success of the largest yachts in mu:Nl to contend for the £25 cup. A time race was ixed 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 cn 'ered for the race : Seagull, R. T. Y.C., 31 tons, H. Melling, Esq. Mermaid, R. T. Y. C., 24 tons, J. Griudrod, Esq. Ivanhoe, 8 tons, Webb, Esq. The course was from the station vessel, off the Town, round the screw-pile lighthouse, at the foot of Wyre, 2i miles off, and from thence to a vessel moored about seven miles at sea, off Lancastr 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 how 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 spanking 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 bt 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 kt pt her place well, and gained on the Seagull on a long windward tack up the bay. The crew of the Seagull 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 (awed 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 Hes heth Fleetwood, M.P., in the chair; and a bail, at the North Euston, finished the week's amusement. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY. The Rev. Hugh M'Neile preached a charity sermon, o❑ 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 school; 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 classes of society the clergy would not have interfered, because they considered those classes fully competent to form a judgment as to the so. t of instruction, temporal and spiritual, e hie') 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 hat :d as 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 £290; and, notwith standing theexpressed 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 schools in 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 was 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-egged steamer, of 115 tons burthen—the bull built by Mr. John Laird, of Birkenhead, and the engines (of 32-horse power) by our townsmen, Messrs. George Forrester and Co., for slr. Thomas Lundie, Oldhull street, and his house in Jamaica, (Messrs. Lundie and Co.) and intended to run from port to port in that colony, with passengers. The length of the 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 supplits, 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 9s) unite in praises of her beautiful form, admirable engines, and extraordinary speed acknowledging, ; et the same time, the liberality and enterprise of her owners in furnishing them with E 0 delightful a mode of conveyance round their island, and w shins them every possible success in their enterprise. Several of them quote the whole of our arti cte 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 sir 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 bad larger vessels on the station—we may surely say of a craft not a fourth of her size, " Well done litt'e 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 named 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 free from frivolousness, entertaining and attractive. All these advantages meet in "THE CHRISTIAN MOTHER'S. MAGAZINE "—a periodical recently established, and of which Mrs. Ikliiner, 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 tl.e series is not yet c ompleted, are beyond'all praise ; and the varions rticles on educition have each great and peculiar merit. In short, we are confident that we cannot do a greater service to all classes (f the reading public than by recom mending to their attention this admit-Ale and attractive magazine. No family should be withont it. SAILING MACHINE Oft LAND CUTTER. At the monthly meeting of the Polytechnic Society of this town, M r. Grantham, the president, exhibited a beau tiful model of 'a machine constructed with four wheelk, and propelled by slits similar to an ordinary cutter. He stated that this o ',chine was invented by the late Sir James Oxenden, of Su:sex, and tl.e n I,c:el had lately been pre sented to him (Mr. G.) batonet's son. Having made some remarks vs 1. I, a advantage to mechanical men of being able to exaa iae machines, even should they not teof general utility, I:untitled 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 he censidered under this class; but, although not of general applicat!on, 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 wile; Is was 12 feet, and at the hind wheels about 5 feet. It was about 23 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-wheeled carriage, and .was very manageable. It had attained a speed of nearly 35 miles per hour on Ascot Ileat;i. It would beat to windward like a sailing vessel, but much more rapidly— running within 3 1 points of the wind. Mr. Grantham explained his opin!on of the causes of this superiority. The limit of power'thet 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 llnd 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 cave 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 he 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 construrtion. 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 plainer 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. TOWN EDITION. LIVERPOOL PROTESTANT OPERATIVE SOCIETY. The quarterly meeting of the L'verpool Protestant Operative Association was held last evening, at seven o'clock, in the Commercial Hall, Gloucester-street. There was a very numerous attendance, the spacious room being crowded in every part. On the motion of Mr. CRISP, Mr. Taos. INMAN was called to the chair, and the proceedings commenced by the offering of prayer by the Rev. Henry Carp?nter. The Rev. WRAY HUNT, incumbent of St. Saviour's, moved the first resolution, which stated— " The conduct of the Romish Church in reference to the Sacred Scriptures, as exhibited in the Bull recently issued by the Pope in relation to Bible Societies, manifests the very spirit of Antichrist; and is calculated to awaken in every Protestant bosom compassion for every member of the Church of Rome, and gratitule to God for bestowing the precious gift of his holy word—the source of Eng land's prosperity, and the basis of her civil and religious liberty." The Church of Rome, the rev. gentleman contended, had always distinguished herself by her bitter opposition to the Scriptures of truth. In the Council of Trent we found her asserting that the Scriptures, if disseminated among the people, would do more harm than good ; we found her detracting from the Word of God ; we fount h-r opposing the purity of his Word by enforcing the books of the Apocrypha, and by taking tway tho second commandment, making up the number by di-. viding the tenth into two. In fret, she was distinguished by her opposition to the Scriptures, thereby manifesting the very spirit of anti-Christ. Anti-Christ he defined to be he a system of error in every ace of the church ; it was a system - of error that opposed itself to Christ in one of his three offices as propher;pest, and king. In the days of the Apostle John, Simon Magus, and his followers,_ who denied that Christ came i n th e fl es h, ex hibi te d , with va rious modifications, the spirit of anti-Christ as it appeared i succeeding aees ; and there had been many within oar own time. We had the anti-Christ of Unitarianism, which opposed itself to the kingly office of the Lord Jesus Christ, denying that he is the " King of Kings, and Lord of Lords." We had the anti-Christ of Mahometanism, which opposed itself to the prophetic office of the Lord Jesus Christ, and set up another prophet in his stead ; and we had the anti-Christ of Popery, which opposed itself to the priestly office of Christ. In direct contradiction to the statement of the Word of God, Popery asserted in the sacrifice of the mass the insufficiency of the sacrifice of the Saviour, and the insufficiency of his priestly office Popery thus usurped the priestly office of the Lord Jesus Christ. To a certain extent it opposed itself to his kingly office, for Pop, ry had invested the Pope with a power that belonged to Christ only. She had set up the Pope, as it were, in the temple of the Lord ; she had placed him above whatever was called God ; she had given to him all dominion, principality, and power, which belonged only to Christ; she bad attempted to wrest from the Lord the keys of death and hell, and place them in the hands of the Pope, giving him the power of delivering from death itself, and the punishment due to the wicked in, the world to come—i n f ac t, pl ac i ng hi m , i n the church, as the dispenser of those powers which belong only to the Lord Jesus Christ. (Applause.) She opposed herself to the prophetic office of the Lord Christ. Christ came as a prophet, to declare the will of God—to make known the revelation of God's mercy; the Pope came forward and said, that what Christ told as the word of truth was not enough—that he (the Pope) is to declare rightly the word of truth ; and he claimed for the dogmas of the church of Rome a credence quite as extensive as those required for the Scriptures of truth themselves. (Hear, har.) The Pope could never be wrong in his interpreta tion of the Scriptures, nor could he be in fault, because he was to determine whether what he said was right or wrong. He thus destroyed the very essence of the Scrip- tyres . ; hethusopposedhitilself tothe Word of truth ; he thizs detraCtedfrom ; and in these respscts he proved that he was the very spirit of Antichrist. (Hear, hear, hear.) He contended that Popery was perfectly ideltified by the 6th v_.rse of the 4th chapter of St. John's lsr Epistle as "the spirit of error." (Hear.) What Popery had been from before the days of the Council of Tren she still continued to be. She still continued to be opposed to the Word of God. (Hear, hear.) The bull lately issued against the Bible Society was a proof how she opposed the free disse mination of the Word of God. ((-Tear, hear.) From the formation of the Bible Society, Popery had continued to be asrailed in a manner in which she bad never been since the days of the Reformation. (Cheers.) The free dissemi nation of the Bible awakened men to the dangers of Popery. Hear). Consequently, popery wss always bitter in oppo sition. to the B:ble Society. Pope Pius the 7th, in 1816, issued his bull against the Bible Society, calling it by the most opproprious epithets, and his successor, Leo the 12th, issued his mandate to time priests of Ireland, that they were not to allow their flocks to be led astray by these poisonous pastures, meaning thereby the English translation of the Bible. (Hear, hear.) In these few ex. prersions, he thought he had to some extent shewn that the Romish Church manifested 'the spirit of -Antichrist. (Hear.) The reverend gentleman then applied himself to the consideration of the next assertion in the resolution, namely, that these circumstances were calculated to awaken in every Protestant bosom compassion for the memory of the Church of Rome, in the course of which he earnestly recommended the circulation of the Biole as the only means of delivering the Roman Catholic laity from their thraldom. In proof of its efficacy, he referred to the great progress which Protestantism had made in Dingle. and remarked that hitherto we had neglected Ire land, but he rej , iiced that now a professorship of the Irish language had been founded in the University of Dublin, where, by means of the instruction there received, young men would be prepared to teach " the knowledge of the truth " to their fellow-countrymen in their own lan guage. This, to use a favourite quotation of Mr. O'Con nell's, was the only way to make Ireland 4 ' glorious, and free, First flou er of the earth, first gem cf the sea." (Loud cheers.) And when the Scriptures of truth had delivered the people from their mental thialdon,, it inigl be said-- Ile is the freeman whom the truth mak s free— And all are slaves beside." (Cheers.) The Rev. HENRY CARPENTER seconded the resolution; and in the course of an eloquent speeds he read several passages from the Pope's letter against the Bible Society, to show that in that letter there was enough and more than enough to justify every statement tint had been made in relation to the hostility of the Church of Rome to the light of Scripture. The same letter, too, fur nished an ample refutition of that fashionable error— that heresy against all truth—that Rome •was changed— that Rome in the 19th century was not what Rome was in the 16th century. They must indeed be unacquainted with the circumstances of Rome who were led away by this supposition. They neglected to remember her cele brated motto semper eadem; that in that motto she as serted her determination to maintain the same idolatry, persecut'on, perjury, and hostility to the S criptures f or %hid) she had ever b een notorious. (Cheer s.) A collection was n:)ade at this stage of the meeting, dur ing which the hymn beginning " From all that dwell be low the skies" was sung by the meeting. The Rev. Mr. IRVING moved the second resolution— " That seeing the undisguised support and encouragement which is given to pppery and latitudinarianism in every shape, to the discouragement of our National Church, it is heartily to be wished that our Protestant friends would enrol themselves as members of our Association, that we may, with the tlessii.g of God upon cur labours, make such a bold stand for the truth, from time to time, that it may eventually reach the legislature, and through them the government, to prevail upon them to re move the princi,les of exped:cncy and concession which are s'lpping and undermining the great principles of the Reforms tion "—(Cheers.) Mr. i:ittlSP seconded the resolution. , A vote of thanks was then presented to Mr. Inmsn, for his able c n:luct in the chair, and Ohl proceedings termi nated at a quarter before ten o'clock. )ne ill ; )ne )ne )ne )ne et; )ne as OW rs. je . of a 1 , of rer
