His lordship stated that " the law required that" (to convict any parties of conspiracy) "a jury should be satisfied that there was a concert between them, either for the purpose of doing an illegal act, or else for doing, or causing to be done, an act legal in itself but to be brought about by illegal means." Certainly this is specific enough, and reasonable enough ; and it lays down a sufficiently broad line of distinction between the cases of the Repeal Association and those referred to by the Mercury. When Anti- Corn-law agitators and others carry on their agita tion in a legal form, and with legal instruments — when they propose to act upon public opinion, or upon the legislature, in any of the modes pointed out by the practice of the constitution, they are unas sailable by the law ; but when they go beyond these limits—when they point to violence as the ultimate weapon to be used—when they resort to displays of physical force and military organization to intimidate the legislature and the constituted authorities, — then their agitation assumes the form of a con- Another measure announced, is one to alter the law in Ireland, "in reference to gifts for charitable and religious purposes," or, as it is explained by Lord Wharncliffe, to decrease the " difficulty of making over property, and placing money in trust, for the purpose of supplying the Roman Catholic clergy with stipends, and glebes, and building chapels." Upon this proposition, we cannot re mark in the absence of fuller explanation than is at present afforded us. The necessity, however, of any such alteration of the existing law is not very clear to us, unless it be for the purpose, as broadly hinted at by Lord John Manners, last session, of introducing more extensively into Ireland the monastic system. Such a step, surely, cannot be entertained by the present Government ! The last measure, to which we are called upon to refer, is a registration bill, combining (according to Sir James Graham) "a more extended county franchise," but which, Lord Wharncliffe assures us, would probably cause "a considerable diminution of county voters," with a remission of the necessity, in boroughs, of paying certain local taxes, as the condition of receiving the franchise. Here, we are in some degree of darkness; and any comment we might be disposed to make is obviously impossible. In our own Cotton-market yesterday, as will be seen by an. article upon the subject elsewhere, the reports by this arrival were not viewed as favourable to speculation, and sellers were more numerous than buyers. To that article we refer our readers ; but we may again state our doubts whether the trade generally were in receipt of so late news from the South as we have given above. The latest accounts from Stockholm represent the ill ness of the King of Sweden as still of a very serious cha racter. The British barque Bolivar, from Sierra Leone to England, with a cargo of timber, was lost off the Cape Verd Islands on the 2d October. The crew were saved. A deputation from the committee of deputies from the Joint-stock Banks of England, Wales, and Ireland, had an interview on Saturday with Sir Robert Peel and the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the official residence of the Right Hon. Baronet, in Downing-street. The de puties, 23 in number, were headed by Mr. P.M. Stewart, M.P. A deputation on the subject of Inland bonding had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Sa turday at his official residence in Downing-street. The deputation consisted of Mr. Phillips, M.P., Mr. Tatton Egerton, M.P., Mr. Brotherton, M.P., Mr. Buckley, M.P., with Mr. W. B. Watkins. Mr. Dean, Chairman of the Customs, was present at the interview. PERU.—The nature of the intelligence from Peru which is generally known in the city, is of itself almost sufficient to show that the price of Peruvian stock is kept up by speculation rather than by any substantial ground. The army of General Vivanco, under the command of General Guarda, and composed of 3,000 men, infantry and cavalry, has been destroyed by the opposing army under Generals Castillo and Nieto, 300 men only esaping. The letters state that the Vicvnco Government cannot last, there is every appearance of anarchy, and yet the stock stills maintains a high quotation in our market. — Yesterday's Times. WINDSOR, SUN DAY.—Yesterday morning the Queen and Prince Albert took their accustomed early walk. In the afternoon her Majesty and his Royal Highness rode out in a pony phaeton, attended by Lord Charles Welles ley, Equerry in Waiting, on horseback. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alice were taking a carriage airing, and the Princess Royal rode out on her pony. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her Majesty arid her illustrious Consort, at the Castle. This morning her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the household, attended Divine service, in the private chapel within the Castle. The Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay officiated. THE FUNDS.—SATURDAY NIGHT.—The English Stock-market has been well maintained throughout the day, although the amount of business has not been ex tensive. Bank Stock left off 193 to 194 ; Consols for money and the account, 974 to Exchequer-bills, 69s to 71s premium : India Stock, 277 to 279; Three per Cent. Reduced, 981 to ; 5 i ; Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Reduced. 103 to s ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents, 102 i to • Long Annuities, 12 9-16 ; and India Bond, 85 t o 8d premium. In foreign securities pricss, generally sp ea ki ng , were firm ; but the dealings mostly appeared to be of a speculative character. Spanish Actives closed at the ad vanced price of 231 to ' • and the Three per Cents., 32i to 5 4 d. Mexican left off 34.1 to 4; the Deferred, 114 t o 12 ; Peruvian, 31 to 32 ; Portuguese Converted, 444 to 452 ; Dutch Two-and•a-Half per Cents., 554 to 4; the Five per Cents., 1014 to 1021 ; Danish, 87 to 88 ; Colom bian, 14 to 4 ; Chilian, 103 to 105 ; Brazilian, 78 4 to 79 4 ; and Belgian, 106 to 107. BANK OF ENGLAND.—In Fa iday's Gazette we had the return of the average aggregate amount of promissory notes payable to bearer on demand in circulation in the United Kingdom during the four weeks ending on the sth instant. Compared with the previous four weeks, ending on the 6th of January, the circulation of the Bank of Eng land h as increased from £18,964,000 to £21,828,000 being a difference of £2,864,000 ; the private bank circu lation in England and Wales has increased from £4,822,000 to £1,980,000, being a difference of £158,000 ; that of the joint-stock banks in England and Wales has increased from £3,234,000 to £3,446,000, beihg a difference of £212,000 ; that of all the banks in Scotland has decreased from £2,901,000 to £2,791,000, being a difference of £llO,OOO ; that of the Bank of Ireland has increased from £3,489,000 to £3,581,000, being a difference of £92,000 ; that of all the other banks in Ireland has increased from £2,361,000 to £2,429,000, being a difference of £68,000 ; the total circulation of the United Kingdom has increased from £35,774,000 to £39,056,000, being an aggregate dif ference of I:3,282,000 during the four weeks: The bullion in possession of the Bank of England has increased from £14,638,000 to £15,480,000, being a difference of £852,000. spiracy. It is then an attempt to procure an object legal in itself, by illegal means. Upon this distinction the Lord Chief Justice was very decided. Attending public meetings, however numerous, was not in the eye of the law criminal. His lordship remarked— We have endeavoured to place the spirit and sub stance of the whole of these measures before our readers as clearly and impartially as was in our power ; and we must now wait to see them brought in detail before Parliament, repeating, however, our fear that they are not likely to prove steps in the right direction towards that object which all men ought to desire; viz.—the permanent pacification of Ireland, unaccompanied by present or ultimate danger to the Protestant Church in that land, and the peace and security of the empire. These objects are not to be secured by the violation of one—the least—of those constitutional and Protestant prin ciples, by the profession of which a Conservative Government was placed in power, and a rampant anti-national faction prostrated, amidst the tri utnphant acclaim of a delighted people. " If a man had grievances, or thought or fancied he had grievances, it was no crime for a man to make a mistake regarding his political situation respecting a grievance. He had a right also to communicate his sentiments on the subject of his grievances not merely to his friends but even to strangers. He had aright to make these commu nications and complaints wherever he went, if they thought fit; and even if he should attend a public meeting, how ever large that meeting might be (although in that respect it might be dangerous, owing to the consequences which might follow)—at those public meetings there was no rea son why any man who had, or thought he had, a grievance, shculd not make a statement of what he conceived lie had a right to complain of, and upon the principles of free dis cussion endeavour to get, by peaceable means, as many allies and advocates in support of those alleged grievances as he could produce. That was the law, and the morality of the law, as stated by Mr. Baron Alderson, who also said, ' God forbid that the country should ever be with out it.' He (the Chief Justice) would say so too. But in order to disseminate the knowledge of those grievances, a party should take care not to infringe upon the rights and privileges of others ; and he was more bound to be careful of the effect of what he did, if the assemblies which he attended were congregated and assembled in such masses and multitudes so as to excite terror and alarm through and amongst the neighbouring people, or amongst those who were bound to preserve and watch over the frame and constitution of the country." His little lordship of the house of Russell has taken little, thus far, by his new compact with "the convicted conspirator" O'Connell ; little of good, at all events—little which is not calculated to damage his reputation as a public man, and convince the world of his utter unfitness to control the destinies of this great empire. The debates of the past four nights, upon his factious motion, have afforded us, from the opposition side pf the house, only a nauseous re-hash of the speeches delivered—how much more eloquently !—hy the counsel for the traversers ; whilst the withering replies from the GoVernnaent benches have effectually dissipated the film of falsehood and error, in which the proceed ings of the law authorities in Ireland have been artfully held up before the gaze of the British people. The Whig party, with Lord John Russell at their head, are now the pledged supporters of physical force appeals—of military organization of the people in Ireland—of seditious proclamations, and incendiary speeches —as the legal and safe weapons for bending the will of the majority of the empire to concessions, previously acknowledged by a Whig-radical government as dangerous to the Agitation, therefore, carried on peaceably, need not, as the Mercury would have us believe, lead to those disastrous restrictions of the liberty of the subject which he has painted in such sombre colours. The announcement of last week, in the House of Lords by Lord \Marneliffe, and in the Commons by Sir James Graham, of the forthcoming Irish policy of the Peel administration, has created a feel ing of serious apprehension and disappointment amongst the Conservative party on both sides of the Channel. Amongst our loyal brethren, in Ireland eepecially, who, for years past, have battled so stoutly, for the integrity of the empire, and the secu rity of their Protestant liberties and religion , against the aggressions of Popery; and who for months past may be said to have slept with the torch of the incendiary about their roofs and the knife of the as sassin at their breasts; the fear is deeply felt that, by their patience under insult nd their firmness when in danger, they have enabled a Conservative govern men REVIEW OF THE COTTON TRADE. TUESDAY, FEB. 13.—The animated demand experi enced yesterday has not been kept up to-day ; never theless a fair extent of business has been done, amount ing to 5,000 bales, chiefly in American descriptions. Speculators have 1500 bales appropriated to them. WEDNESDAY.—The market has appeared tame and quiet to-day, notwithstanding which a fair extent of business has been done, at the full prices current yes terday. The sales reach 6,000 bales, 2,000 of which are placed to speculation account. THURSDAY. — The non-arrival of the Boston steamer of the Ist instant has induced a temporary lull in our cotton market : neither buyers nor sellers seem anxious to operate to any extent previous to the receipt of her advices, so that only 2,000 bales have been sold to-day, at full prices, entirely to the trade. FRIDAY.— Several speculators have been in the mar ket to-day, availing themselves of the quieter tone to invest previous to the arrival of the steamer, whose protracted non-appearance begins to cause a little anxi ety. The sales of the day reach 6,000 bales, 4,000 to the trade and 2,000 to speculators. The sales of the week amount to 40,510 , bales, and we close our price current without the slightest change in prices, except in some descriptions of long- stapled cotton, particularly Egyptian, which are / to -a lower than the highest point. The total amount of speculation for the week is IS,IOO bales. SATURDAY.—Throughout the day the market has appeared unusually tame and quiet : consumers have been the only purchasers, and their operations are to the extent of 3,000 bales, without any change in prices. MONDAY (YESTERDAY).—The Boston steamer ar rived last night : she brings conflicting accounts : ne vertheless, it would appear that the sum-total of them is not favourable to speculation, for throughout the day the market has had a sluggish, sleepy tendency, with more civility than of late from the sellers, some of whom " play the civil," or otherwise, according to the tone of the market. Prices have had a downward tendency, and the 5,000 bales sold to-day have been bought on better terms than they could have been last week : 12 to 1500 bales of these are placed to speCulation account. It is a fact worthy of notice, that the stock of cotton now in the shipping ports is 200,000 bales more than it was this time last year, so that, though tardy in its arrival, we presume it must come at last, and we see no legitimate reason why cotton should advance beyond present rates. For further detail we refer to our careful selection of American commercial intelligence. PRESENTATION.—We understand that the Earl of Moray, in the most handsome manner, with the harmo nious concurrence of the beritors, elders, and people, as expressed at the moderation of the call, last Thursday, has presented the Rev. Dr. Ralph, late of Liverpool, to the parish of Dalgety, just adjoining his present one. This parish, while affording a most important sphere of labour, contains the beautiful properties of the Earl of Moray, Sir Philip Durham, and Sir Robert Moubray. The church, recently erected by the Earl of Moray, is a perfect gem of Gothic architecture, and the manse and offices are the finest in the country. ANOTHER SEIZURE OF TOBACCO.—At Chester, on Wednesday last, Messrs. Nicholls and Googh, tobacco manufacturers, appeared before the major and magistrates to answer an information, at the instance of Mr. James Williamson, Collector of Excise, Liverpool, charging them with having, on the 13th January, used molasses in the manufacture of tobacco. There was also a count for the forfeiture of upwards of four cwt. of tobacco, which had been seized. After some slight discussion, in which the defendants said they had used molasses, they pleaded guilty generally ; and judgment was entered for the crown for one penalty of £3OO, and the forfeiture of the material seized. EXCLUSION OF NEWSPAPERS FROM THE LIVERPOOL WORKHOUSE. IVe have been ,4otoewhat surprised to read, in the columns of the Albion of yesterday, a report of the pro ceedings of the Select Vestry at its last meeting, in which we find our respected Junior Rector Campbell stating, (with respect to the exclusion of the Liverpool Standard and the Mercury from the workhouse,) that " newspapers were prohibited by the poor-law commis sioners, but that the committee had ordered three copies of Chambers's Journal, three of the Penny Magazine, and six of the Saturday Magazine, to be taken weekly." We are surprised at this statement of the rev. rector, acting on the occasion as chairman of the board, inas much as it chews that in making this statement he has been, by some party or other, grossly misled ; for we are convinced, that he himself would be the last man to sanction, by a perversion of the order of the commission ers, such cruelty as is involved in this shutting out of the paupers in our workhouse from a knowledge of the affairs of the world and of their fellow-beings, such as is coni-eved in the columns of a respectable newspaper. We beg to call the attention of the rector to the pre cise words of the order in question, by which he has been induced to give his sanction to this course. The order in question is contained in the 26th clause of the instructions of the commissioners to the Select Vestry of Liverpool; and is thus worded: " No written or printed paper of an improper ten dency, or which may be likely to produce insubordina tion, shall be allowed to circulate, or be read aloud, among the inmates of the workhouse." The rev. rector, we know, will be among the last to say that the Liverpool Standard is such a printed paper as should not be circulated or read aloud in any commu nity. Our remarks upon passing events are certainly neither of " improper tendency," nor " likely to produce insubordination" in the workhouse. We dare say, however, that it is upon the " explana tion " of this rule by the poor-law commissioners, that it is attempted to mislead the vestry into the supposition that newspapers are prohibited altogether. What says that explanation ? That " the words printed paper' comprehend any newspaper, handbill, book, pamphlet, &c.," obviously, only if these are of " improper tendency.' If the "printed papers" mentioned in the explanation are not to be limited, a respectable newspaper, by the qualifying expressions in the original instruction, not only is prohibited, but so are Chambers's Journal, the Penny Magazine, and the Saturday Magazine, —so is, in fact, THE BIBLE ITSELF!. There is, however, we say it advisedly, no prohibition which can affect us any more than these "printed papers" which are readily ad mitted. The explanation is general manifestly because the limitation is contained in the instruction. May we beg of the rev. rector and the vestry to reconsider this question P As affects ourselves it is a light matter ; but surely it is a hardship upon the poor prisoner of the workhouse, that, once within its walls, the workl, with out should be to him for ever an unknown land, and its proceedings and the prospects it holds out for ever hidden from his vision ! LIVERPOOL ASSOCIATION OF ASSISTANT TRA MS MEN.—On Friday last, a deputation from this body hat} an interview, by appointment, with his worship the Mayor. They were very courteously received ; and it is expected that some measures will arise out of the propositions sub mitted for his worship's consideration,' which will induce a more extended adoption of the rule of closing shops at seven o'clock. ROBBING ST. ANDIrRW'S CHURCH.—Sophia Thomp son was brought before the police-court, on Friday, on a charge of stealing a Bible and two Prayer-books from the above-named'church. On the application of Mr. Dowling she was remanded, there• being other similar charges against her. On Saturday the prisoner was again brought up and fully committed for trial. TAELETON COURSING- MIIITING.—At this meeting; which came off on Wednesday and Thursday last, the Tarleton Puppy Cup was won by Mr. Brandwood's d. Ajax ; Mr. Brandwood's d. Jebb ran up. The Bank Hall Cup was won by Mr. Eden's d. Eau-de-vie ; Mr. Taylor's b. Salute ran up. The Radcliffe Hall Cup was won by Mr. Graham's b. Screw ; Mr. Eden's d. Eros ran up. The Bretherton Puppy Stake was won by Mr.. Craven's b. Castlewellan ; Mr. Simpson's b. Madeira ran up. The Craven Stake was won by Mr. King's d. Vanish ; Mr. Rodgett's d. Claret ran. up. SPLENDID PAINTING BY ETTY.—We yesterday viewed,. by invitation, a painting of this now celebrated artist. The name of Etty must be familiar to all acquainted with. the art : and this is allowed to be, in every point, his mas terpiece. It is a `• Sleeping nymph,." and were it not so denominated, some might be attempting to address her, so near is the resemblance to life. The colouring is al lowed by the best judges to surpass even Titian, while the drawing, particulariy the foreshortening, is worthy a Raphael. In the colouring there is true purity, and every limb as it were stands from the canvas, and this, too, without the aid of those life-destroyers, shades, generally used to produce effect. The back groundis equally rich ; and we would recommend all connoisieurs to lose no time in viewing, which they may do on application, one of Etty's best works. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—WiIIiain Sturgeon, Esq., will deliver his first lecture on electricity this evening, and certainly we never saw a moreattractive syllabus than he hos put forth. The experiments will be numerous, and the apparatus by which they will be made first rate. These will be succeeded by a course on church music, by Dr. Wesley, for which the Philharmonic Society have been for some time actively employed in getting up the vocai illustrations. These lectures are anxiously looked forward to by every lover of music in the town, and, from the high character of the parties engaged in it, we are confident that the most sanguine anticipations of th e i r excellence will be realised. The merits of Professor Rymer Jones and his beautiful diagrams are too well known and appreciated to require us to do more than to say that they will follow. We perceive that the cele brated poet, James Montgomery, Esq., of Sheffield., author of " The World before the F100d,." has consented to deliver, at this institution. the course of lectures on poetry which created such a great sensation at the Royal Institution, London, and in several other places. The subject and the man will fill the lecture-hall during their delivery. Our facetious friend, Mr. Roby, has also pro mised to come forward in the autumn with his highly-in teresting course on botanical physiology, illustrated by upwards of 300 diagrams, to be exhibited with the oxy_ hydrogen microscope. Judging from the exceeding popu larity of his lectures on botany, introductory to the pre sent course, we should anticipate a good fate for this. Professor Calvart completes the list of the announcements at present made by the dirertors. This gentleman's oratorical powers never fail to fill the lecture-hall where ever he goes, any eulogium of ours, therefore, on his merits, is needless. With such a brilliant series of courses in prospect, the directors of this institution will not only deserve but command success. - - ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH SCHOOLS. — On Sunday last the Lord Bishop of this diocese preached two sermons,. one i❑ the morning and the other in the evening, at St. Andrew's church, Renshaw-street, in aid of the schools attached to the church. His morning's text was from. the 19th chapter of Proverbs and 2d verse : " That the soul be without knowledge it is not good." In the evening his text was from the Gth chapter of Galatians and:lsth verse: " For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision- avail eth anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creature." The collection in the morning amounted to the sum of £95, and that in the evening to £42. It was announced during the morning service that the bishop. would ex amine and address the children attending the schools, in the afternoon. when a large and respectable congrega tion were assembled and witnessed an extremely inter esting and gratifying ceremony, the bishop, prior to the examination and address, reading the prayers of the church. In the evening his lordship was pleased to speak of the children's acquirements in terms likely to be peculiarly encouraging both to them and their teachers. Indeed we knew not which most to admire, the simplicity and fervour of the bishop's remarks to the children, or the readiness with which they answered his queries, and the facility with which they producer! Scripture quotations to illustrate the various subjects upon which he questioned them. He took the 9th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, beginning at the 18th verse, and showed from it the power of faith. He described the two sorts of life in man—the life of the body and the life of the soul, and explained that while the natural life was the gift of God, the spiritual life was the peculiar province of the incarnate Redeemer through the operation of the Holy Spirit. The illness of the human soul is general ; and all men naturally go astray like lost sheep. He described in a most simple and beautiful manner the office of Christ, not only as the Physician to whom all must go for cure from the universal malady of sin, but as the Shepherd who know"; and takes care of his flock, and especially of the lambs, who are ex posedthe blind men who followed the Saviour were fulfilling hailing him as the son of David ; and he then wasthhnaeodtwcshhe has dde t o o e vt atpie:rei many prophecy by led the children to prove the divinity of Christ by the miracles which he performed.

He then proceeded to show, by the life and labours of Christ upon the earth, his desire over to extend the Kingdom of God, and his exceeding love for ,aesa ande t h h , the o watchesdoes shepherd oes tohve the lambs of his flock. He illustrated the compassion and care of a shepherd by a striking but sample anecdote, and and preserve all who come to him in faith.

We hope that this valuable and laborious prelate may be long spared to the Church of which he is so bright an ernment, leb. 20, 1844. WEST INDIES. The West India mail bringe dates from Janialca to the 9th ult., Demerara to the ith, Barbadoes to the rthi and Trinidad the 3d. The papers so received give the least possible news of interest. With respect to the state of the crops, they are generally alluded to as pre senting a promising appearance, though in some of the districts complaints are still made of the want of rain and the continued dry weather. At Barbadoes the trial . of Mr. Thomas for the robbery at the Colonial Bank to that Island had been delayed for the presence of mate rial witnesses. In all the islands the Christmas holy days had passed over quietly, and the conduct of the negro population on this occasion is alluded to 'as coat ple tely satisfactory. Some statistics in these papers give the produce of Trinidad and St. Lucia up to this year. The sugar ex ported last year from Trinidad amounted to 22,615 hddS. 1,327 tierces and 4,836 barrels, against 19,176 hbds• 1,401 tierces and 3,783 barrels in 1842. The coffee ex' ported was 124,5831 b. against 398,3631 b in 1842. The exports of sugar from St. Lucia last year was 5,095,1951 1 0 against 6,405,3651 b. in 1842. Coffee showed a greater decline. the exports last year being only 26,7951 b. against 144,4411 b. in 1842. A St. Thomas paper of the 10th ult, contradicts the report which had been circulated that the ravages of the small pox had prevailed to a fearful extent. That paper states that the disease was gradually on the decrease, and was expected very soon to disappear altogether, and that the report had been criculated by certain speculators for the promotion of their plans or combinations. The disease is stated to have been in its progress generally wild and the result favourable. LATEST FROM SPAIN. Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 11th instant. Two battalions of the National Guard of Seville resisted the order for their disarmament, and that great excitement and disorder prevailed there. Further accounts had reached Madrid from the pro vince of Mercia, stating that Bonet, who had not been engaged, as eroneously stated, at Elda on the sth inst had on the following day recaptured the artillery and prisoners captured by General Pardo from the insurgents. Additional arrests had taken place, but the Count de Las Nevas and several officers of the National Gtrards, aga'nst whom warrants had been issued, had esnapect the search of the police. A few Senators and about 70 deputies of the former majority had signed and presented an address to the' Queen, in which they expressed their unalterable devos tion to the throne. They had likewise voted an ad- , dress to the Queen-mother, and deputed Messrs. Card- - quiri and Vilehes to compliment her Majesty in theie name on her arrival in Spain. The proceedings in tha case of Messrs. Madoz, Cortina, and others, were not yet terminated. The prisoners were still in solitary con-- tinement. The Political Chief of Murcia had written to the Minister of the Interior, that the insurgents of Cartha gena had retired from Murcia, carrying off all the public monies, together with large sums- exacted from the wealthy inhabitants- of the place. The Queen's troops reoccupied it on the Bth ;. General Joeed'e la Concha ar rived there on the same day. WALLASEY Docxs-.—The Wallasey Dock Bill has passed the standing orders. THE CHASE.—The Cheshire fox-hounds will meet on Monday, the 19th. at Beeston Castle ; Tuesday, the 20th, at Tatton Park ; Thursday, the 22d, at Hankelow ; Fri day, the 23d, at Hurleston ; and Saturday, the 24tb, at Broadlleld Green, at half-past ten o'clock. GRAND FANCY DRESS FALL.—We understand that it has been determined to hold a grand fancy dress ball in the splendid suite of rooms at the Town-hall, in about a month from the present date, for the benefit of the public charities. The arrangements will be on the most exten sive and magnificent scale. SALVERITY OF THE MERSEY DISTRICT.*ITI , the late quarterly returns of the registry in the rural districts bordering upon the Mersey, the deaths are in general much below the usual average. In the township of Hale, containing, by the late census, a population of 645,per sons, not one death occurs in the- register between April 26, 1843, and January 30, 1844, a period of more than. nine months' FLATTERING TESTIMONY NT) THE CREWS OF Zrig MAGAZINES-AND THE LIVERPOOL LIFE-BOATS.—The' following letter, addressed to the chairman and members' of the Dock Committee, in relation to the services of these' boats on a recent• occasion. was read at•the meeting of the- Dock Committee on Thursday last:.-" The Marine Sur veyor reports that on the morning of the llth instant the' Magazines and Liverpool life-boats proceeded (in tow of the Mona and Victoria steam-tugs) to the assistance of the ship Franconia, ashore on Great &who Bank, near the Formby light. ship, and succeeded in transferring all the passengers, amounting to 158 persons, to the Mona, Victoria, and Hero steam-tugs, without any accident,• although the sea appears to have been heavy at the time- The Magazines life-boat having arrived first on the spot . had made two or three trips previously to the arrival °'` the Liverpool boat. The master states that he had as many as forty-four persons in the boatat one time, besides llis own crew of eleven men- The promptitude rind exer tions of the life-boat crews on this occasion appear to have been extremely praiseworthy." (Signed,) D. LORD. THE RATTLER• AND PROMETII7I.IS STEAmEns. — From want of space in our last number we briefly alluded to the recent trial of speed on the Thames between H. I \ l ' steamers Rattler and Prometheus, merely stating that the former vessel had beaten the latter one at the rate of nearly half a knot per hour, their relative speed being 8.757 and 9.240 knots per hour. It will be recollected that the Rattler has been fitted with the screw expressly for the purpose of comparing its powers with those of the' the paddle wheel, but as this could not be fairly tested in two ships of different form and capacity, the government caused her to be built upon the same model as the third class war steamers, (of which Prometheus is one,) and to t i r s e f s a u c i t t i o o n f a t the e t h l a e t trial le, w a n e d u f n u d i l e y r s bears.t an d have the same amount of eng i ne power, d raught of water, S4 gi c v . en B4 g c. reat The sa out the favourable opinion we expressed of the merits of the screw propeller when our port was-first visited by the Archimedes nearly four years since. We are glad to see that this important• subject has at last been taken up with a degree of spirit becoming of the present administration at the head of our naval affairs, by whom a series of ex periments have been ordered to be made upon the Rattler, with various modifications of the screw propeller, so as to ascertain the best possible form prior to its general intro duction into H. M. navy. These experiments have been confided to the care of Mr. Brunel, projector of the Great Britain, of Bristol, Mr. F. P. Smith, patentee of the screw propeller, and the officers of Woolwich dockyard. This is doing things as they should be done, and we hope ere long to see the unsightly, cumbersome and dangerous pad dle boxes entirely dispensed with, and substituted by the• use of the screw propeller. T HEATRE-ROYAL.—During the past week the talented lessee, Madame Celeste, has added, to the attraction of the performances at this theatre her own beautiful acting. 'in " St. Marv's Ere," and " The Pretty Girls of Stel berg " The new comic pantomime " The Merrie Devil of Edmonton, or Great Bed of Ware," got up for the. purpose of displaying the amusing feats of the Boleno Fa mily, has concluded each evening's entertainments, and been very favourably received. It is got up with great: splendour, and some of the tricks and metamorphoses are admirably managed. On Wednesday evening the farce of the " Rendezvous" was introduced as the interlude, in which the acting of Mr. Compton convulsed the house with laughter. This actor, in,the line of characters which he takes, is almost unapproachable. His face alone,.in some of the situations which occur in the " Rendezvousr was a comedy of itself. On Friday Madame Celeste took a benefit, on which occasion Mr. Webster repeated his excellent delineations of Napoleon. The house was a. crowded and fashionable one, the novelties of the even ing being a scenic drama, entitled " A Christmas Carol, or Past, Present, and Future," founded upon the-recently published " Carol" of Charles Dickens. The piece is ex cellently got up throughout—both scenery, machinery, and characters—and the tableaux presented are most striking. The dinner at Bob Cratchit's (Cratchit, Compton) was famous. " Never was such a goose' Mr. Ross, as Master Peter Cratchit, was a most odd fish. and, irresistibly droll. The ball at Fizziwig'S, too, was quite a racy affair, and not a few of the audience, we dar e , say, were longing to join the merry compsay. We woul d recommend our readers to see this " Christmas carpi." It has a moral worthy of their serious consideration, and will be an excellent aid in enforcing the lessons which Dicken's has conveyed somewhat more at length in his inimitable book.
