Her Majesty's free pardon is also offered to any accomplice, not being the person who actually set fire to the premises, who will give such information as will lead to the conviction of the offender. THE CHEAP TRH' TO LONDON.—We rejoice to say that this speculation, by Messrs. Crisp and Healey, the contractors with the railway company, has turned out, notwithstanding the late generally unfavourable state of the weather, most favourably for them, and most satisfactory to the parties who availed themselves of the occasion. The two first trains started on Saturday morning at the appointed time, with about 500 passengers, all on the gal vice to witness the won . . ders of the metropolis and its vicinity. The scene before star ting from Edge-hill was highly animated and interesting, with, from the excellent arrangements , an absence of all con- fusion. Parties of " kindred spirit" were accommodated in respective carriages, all closed, and most respectable in every point. Yesterday morning the last trains appointed set off with equal punctuality, and with equally good order. They conveyed upwards of 600 persons, so that above 1,100 have taken advantage of the " cheap trip." The management of the whole affair has certainly been excellent, and reflects great credit on the contractors, who have spared no exertion to render their " guests"—for so they may be called—com fortable and happy. We have already learned that all the parties got safe to London, and are much gratified by the excursion. It is somewhat remarkable that though much continuous rain has lately fallen, the weather, both.on Sa turday and yesterday, was exceedingly propitious for the two trips. ILLIEGAL APPROPILIATION.—On Saturday Wm. Coward, shopman in the service of Mr. Roach, Whitechapel, was placed at the bar of the Police-court. It appeared that, on Thursday last, Mr. Horsfall, soon after leaving the Railway Station, in Lime-street, missed his pocket-book, containing two 45 notes. The pocket-book was picked up in Lime street, by a boy, named Farrar. This boy requested a com panion, named Jones, to take one of the notes and see if it were a good one. Jones, who was in the service of Mr. Roach, showed it to the prisoner, who told him it was a bad one. Farrar, boy-like, exchanged the note with Jones for a steel purse. The circumstances of this barter transaction were afterwards mentioned by Jones to the prisoner, who took the note into his own possession, and ordered Jones to go to Farrar and get the other note from him, or demand his purse back. Jones obtained possession of the other note, and gave it to the prisoner. Farrar, on his arrival at home, told his father what had occurred, and the latter ordered him to go and get the notes back. He was referred by Jones to the prisoner. who told him that the notes were burnt. The prisoner had, subsequently, changed one of the notes at a shop in Whitechapel. In his defence, the prisoner said he did not know whether the notes were good or bad. He was committed for trial. AN IMPUDENT ROGIJE.—"On Saturday last, Wm. Medealf was placed at the bar of the Police -court, charged with hav ing defrauded Mr. Baugh, cigar -manufacturer, of 30, Ward street, of six boxes of cigars. It appeared that, about one o'clock on Thursday last, the prisoner went to Mr. Baugh's warehouse, and stated that he knew a gentleman who wanted three boxes of cigars, and asked if some one might accom pany him to South John-street, to see whether the gentle man approved of them. On being told that one of the men should go with him, he asked for three more boxes of a better quality, saying the gentleman might probably take them. Having obtained the cigars, he left the warehouse, accompanied by William Eggers, one of the men, who was told nut to part with the goods without obtaining the money. When they got outside, the prisoner took the boxes, saying he would carry them, and that he (Eggers) might carry the umbrella, as it was raining. They proceeded to the Claren don-rooms, South John-street, which they entered at the south side. On the first landing, the prisoner, pointing to one of the offices, said, "This is the office." He then took the cigars and went into the office, saying it would look fool ish for them both to go in, so that Eggers had better remain outside. In about a minute he returned for the invoice or certificate, with which he went away. Eggers waited about half an hour, and the prisoner not making his appearance, he began to suspect he was duped, and then found that there were two different ways out. The prisoner, who had offered the cigars for sale to a publican, was apprehended by police officer Mather (390), with one of the boxes in his possession. The others he lett with a publican in Scotland-read. The cigars having been identified, the prisoner was committed to take his trial at the assizes. TELEGRAPHIC CLOCK.—We have read with interest a small pamphlet by Mr. H. Hughes, portrait painter of this town, entitled, "Telegraphic Clock: a mode of showing Time by attaching Lights or Reflectors to the Pinion and the Hands of the Clock," in which he details, what we con ceive to be. a very admirable and simple invention of his own, and for which he has taken out a patent. He com mences by noticing the importance of town clocks generally to the public, as both useful and ornamental, and the imper fection of the plan hitherto adopted to illuminate them so as to be distinctly seen at any considerable distance—arising from the too complicated nature of the dial, and the mode of lighting the whole circle. He states that on the best of the present illuminated clocks the time cannot be told beyond the distance of 200 yards ; but by the plan suggested it can be distinguished 2000 yards : or, in fact, as far as lights can be distinguished, whatever their distance may be. The principle (he proceeds) is this :—" The only visible sign's necessary consist of three points to the exclusion of dial, hands, figures, and Marks of every description. At night these points are lamp—gas burners. These will bear the same relation to each other as the extremities of the hands hold to each other, and to the centre, on the old system. The point marked in the centre will be stationary, and those pointing out the hour and minute, respectively, will revolve 'round the former ; and the situation of these is to be dis covered by the assistance of the perpendicular and the hori zontal lines, supposed to be distinctly marked in the mind of every observer above the age of infancy. After noticing the present somewhat confused system, by which the situation of a given hour ou the circle is not discoverable by the figure (in Roman numerals—some of therh upside down, and sone sloping) but the figure by the situation—so that the band does not show the hour, but the hour the hand,—he remarks that the new place requires no guide besides the centre. The plan it will have been anticipated, consists of the application of three lamps or light, one stationary in the centre, and the other two so placed that they will revolve, describing respec tively the circles made in the ordinary mode by the points of the hour and minute handle. The lamps, or gas lights, may be either all white, or for the sake of greater distinctness, the centre one may be white; that at the extremity of the hour handle, red; and, that - at the extremity of the minute hand yellow ; or any other colours may be adopted that fancy may suggest, provided they be sufficiently bright and distin guishable. Our author does not describe his idea minutely, but it is clearly conveyed by diagrams. As the outer lights revolve round the central stationary one (as planets round the sun) and as the hour light is a little nearer to the centre, than the minute light, it appears evident that any one accus tomed to see a clock or watch can ret dily tell the hour by the relative positions of - the three. Thus if they form the points of a right angle, the base of which is horizontal from left to right, the centre light at the point of the rect angle, and the other over (forming th e p er p en di cu l ar ) it can not be mistaken, though no figures whatever are used, th a t it is precisely three o'clock. If the base be from right to left, it is of course nine o'clock ; if all three lights be per.; pendicular, and nearly equidistant, it is six ; if perperidicular with the two outer ones, close together, it is twelve ; and the intermediate hours all round may be observed between each quadrant with equal accuracy. The plan is applicable to the present clocks, it being an improvement in addition rather than an alteration, The ligl)t of St. George's illuminated clock may be seen from many distant points, as for instance from the top of. Lime-street ; but it only shows es an illu minated globe, 'or theatrical moon. The hands or figures cannot be distinguished till we are half-way up Lord-street. But by our author's plan it is quite clear to us that the hour could be told from Lime-street, or a more distant point, par ticularly if the circle, or dial, were a little larger. The ex pense of fitting up a public clock in this way will, it is stated, be comparatively very small. We have seen a model of the simple apparatus for conveying the gas to the points of the indicators and the central spindle, and it may be readily ap plied. "Neither fire, nor even a gas pipe, need be conveyed through the edifice at all; and the quantity of gas consumed will not be a tithe of what is required on the old (or present) plan." The same principle is applicable to clocks or time pieces not illuminated by the use of small convex mirrors, one in the centre of the dial, and one at the extremity of each hand, which would reflect the sun or sky, and would be seen from a distance much greater than that at which the hands become distinctly visible. But we must refer for further de tails to the pamphlet itself, the price of which is trifling— heartily recommending that a trial of Mr. Hughes's plan may be made on sonic one of our public clocks. THE FUNDS. THURSDAY EVENING.—There was a better market for Consols to-day, and prices recovered nearly one cent., al though a trifling reactio n oc cur re d t owar d s th e c l ose of busi ness. For the account the quotation, after being as low as 93, rallied to 941; but left off at 934 buyers. The money price is quoted at 931, though in strictness there should be none, the shutting, including the New 31 per Cents., taking place to-day and to-morrow, previous to the payment of the July dividends. The cause of this briskness in business at higher prices in the Enelish market li.s been the belief that the prevention of the large assemblies which are now dis cussing the merits of the repeal question in Ireland may be easily effected. Bank Stock closed 178 to 180; India Stock, 264 to 266 ; 3 per Cents. Reduced, 921 to 93 ; 31 per Cents. Reduced, 1001 to 4-; New 31 per Cents., 100/ to 1011 ; and Long Annuities, 121 to If. FRIDAY EVENING.—The funds hare advanced about t ‘ per cent. to-day, though there was not much disposition to transact business. Confidence increases in the measures of government to tranquilize the state of affairs in Ireland.

CORRESPONDENCE, TO TILE EDITOR OF THE 14IVERPOOL, STANDARD, Stet,—ln the Trish agitator's speech at Cork last week, I observe, for the amusement of his novitiate associates, he likens Sir Robert Peel to a famous Dublin prck-pocket, who, when he kid no other pocket to pick, picked his own. There appears to toe considerable presumption in the simile, as, undoubtedly, the expert rogue alluded to is Dan, picking Dan's pocket with Dan's am, Sir, your's, &c Liverpool, 51h June. FLNKi!IR. BUBBLE COMPANIES.—We noticed, last week, that Mr, Gladstone had intimated his intention to revive the select committee of 1811, to inquire into the constitution and one, ration of joint-stock companies, especially with regard to in surance companies. This most laudable intention, we regret to state, was frustrated, in consequence of there being " no house" on Thursday last, on which evening the right hon. gentleman was about to-propose the fullowing members as the committee:—Mr. Win. Gladstone, Lord G. Somerset, Mr.'Labouchere, Sir G. Grey, Mr. G. W. Wood, Sir W. James, Col. T. Wood, Mr. Milnes, Mr. Hawes, Sir Win. Clay, Mr. Oswald, Mr. G. Craig, Mr. Browarigg, Mr. God son; and Mr. B. Baring. PRESENTATION O NEW COLOURS TO THE CHESHIRE YEOMANRY CAVALRY. The Cheshire Yeomanry Cavalry have been in this town for some days, on their annual term of " permanent duty"— Lieutenant Colonel Egerton, of Tatton. Park, Commander. We have noticed them on former occasions, as a fine, orderly, and well-appointed corps, and in the present instance we can but add to the commendations we have hitherto bestowed, inasmuch as they appear to us to have improved, if possible in the requisites of good soldiership,—giving large promise of utility should their services—which have recently been most valuable—be required even more actively than heretofore. I❑ consequence of their having been most useful, in putting down the disturbances in some of the manufacturing districts of this country last year, a number of the respectable inhab itants of Macclesfield,. Stockport, and that neighboured, resolved to embrace the earliest opportunity of their assem bling on duty to present them. with a new set of standards, as a testimony of respect both to the officers and men for the protection they had afforded in that part of the country ; and yesterday was the day appointed for the presentation. Shortly before ten o'clock the regiment, which, including officers, is upwards of GOO strong, arrived at their usual ex ercising ground, on Bootle Sands, a short distance to the north of the two columnar land-marks. The day was fine, and a great concourse of persons from the town and neigh bourhood soon congregated on the spot to witness the inter esting ceremony. Eventually, indeed, the scene presented much of the appearance of a race-course, with the additional attraction of the river and the outward channel, enlivened by vessels moving to and fro, from the fishing-boat to the ship, the former gliding' .under the impulse of lieht airs from the S.W., and the latter, " homeward bound," coming up ra pidly without sail, by the aid of steam-tugs and the tidal stream. Shortly after eleven o'clock a number of gentlemen form ing deputations from the several towns and places that had contributed to the intended present, came on the ground in three open carriages, bearing the Standards, together with a handsome trumpet. A number of other carriages, gigs, &c., private and hired, also came up, filled with company, and the interest of the scene continued to increase. The populace was kept a short distance back, by riders, both for their own safety and for the better maintenance of sileuce during the ceremony. The deputations were from Macclesfield, Con .gleton, Stockport, Sandbach, &c., including the mayor of the first named town, and other i entlemen of respectability. We also observed present, and in full uniform, Coh Faulk ner, and his adjutant. Th e ye omanr y, a ll we ll mounte d an d in handsome blue uniform, were drawn up in a circle, with an opening on the east, at once to gratify the public by a sight of the proceedings, and to admit of the ingress of the parties who were to take a part in them. Shortly before 12 o'clock the several carriages containing the deputations, and others, drove up nearly to the centre of the circle, and took their station to the west of a stream of salt water forming its diameter, across which those not mounted, or in vehicles, had to find their way as they best could. The carriasei ranged in line, with that in which was Mr. Proctor, the Mayor of Macclesfield, in the middle, he being appointed to present the flags. Colonel Egerton, and his principal brother officers, including Captain, Hill, (one..of the heroes of Wa terloo,) under whose active superintendence, we learn, the regiment has attained its superiority and discipline as a yeo manry corps, took their places a short distance to the west ward, facing the carriages, the Colonel in advance. The MAYOR of MACCLESFIELD then rose, and, address ing Colonel Egerton, expressed the diffidence he felt in approaching the task that had devolved upon him. Sensible as he was of the honour conferred upon him in selecting him to perform it, he felt his inadequacy to give expression to the feelings of the very respectable gentlemen who had de puted him ; and he ',oriented that the Lord-Lieutenant was not present . to address them, which would have given him infinite satisfaction had his health permitted. He (the Mayor) had to present the colours around him, as a small but genuine token of the sense of gratitude and respect which the donors entertained for the. protection they enjoyed from the valuable services of the regiment. Riots and dis turbances had ravaged the manufacturing districts, to which those he represented belonged, last year; and to the disci pline, and the energetic but forbearing conduct of the yeo manry, were they indicted for their suppression. He well knew the colours he presented would be highly prized by those to whom they were presented ; and that it' occasion called, each and all of them in whose care they were would act like the gallant soldier at Cebu!, who wrapped the flag of his country around him, and would sooner part with his heart's blood. They, however, were a force instituted to protect lather than to destroy; not to provoke hostility, but by temperance and firmness to suppress it where it unhap= pily arose; and he would best express the feelings of those who conferred this present, by impressing this upon them. lie made some further appropriate remarks, in the course of an eloquent and feeling address, (of which this is, from the place and circumstances, a very inadequate sketch,) and concluded by presenting the five colours, all of them beauti fully embroidered on crimson silk, and the trumpet, with an embroidered royal standard attached—the whole of which were received separately by the cornets. COLONEL EGERTON drew up arid returned thanks in a neat and brief soldier-like address. As Lieut.-Colonel of the regiment be begged to return in their name and for himself their most sincere thanks for so magnificent a mark of the approbation of the donors. With respect to their services, the addresses they had already received from the several towns more than amply repaid' them for all the services they had performed, and this presentation was an additional source of pride to them which called for their warmest gratitude. For himself he felt proud in having a command in a corps whose conduct was deemed worthy of so high a mark of their approbation, and he felt assured that whenever the regiment beheld their colours, they would ever be ready and animated when occasion to come forward like men to conserve the peace, and to afford due protection to life and property. The whole regiment and those in and arouud the carriages then gave three hearty cheers, while the brass band played the national anthem. - The cheering was sznewed froth the ranks. Three cheers were then given for the Mayor of Mac clesfield, the other gentlemen of the deputation, and those whom they represented. The regiment afterwards went through various movements and evolutions, with great precision, in presence of the gen tlemen and their friends and a large concourse of persons, few of whom quitted the sands until the termination of the " review." At about two o'clock they returned to the town; a great number of them accompanying the gallant colonel and officers to the Adelphi Hotel. An excellent dinner was in the evening partaken of by the officers and their friends at the hotel. Amongst the guests were our own worthy mayor. The Colonel introduced two fat bucks from Tatton Hall, and a supply of excellent chain paigne—considerately giving an order at the same time to " mine host" for an equal quantity for the officers mess table. Mr. Swinnerton, of Macclesfield, who has taken au active interest in the procuring and presenting of the colours, and a number of other gentlemen from Cheshire, &c. were also present. We need scarcely say that the evening was passed in that conniviality, good-feeling, and nationality, which ought ever to characterize meetings in which the soldier and the citizen are happily 'combined. There will, we learn be a grand review of the yeomanry on the sands to-morrow. MEETING OF THE BIRKENHEAD POLICE COMMISSIONERS. An adjourned meeting of the Police Commissioners of Birkenhead was held in the Town-hall, last night, for the purpose of completing , the rate•beok previous to the election of new members, which takes place this day. The following gentlemen were present :—Messrs. William Jackson, Wm. Cole, Alexander Kerr, D. Appleton, Thomas Gilbertson, J. K. Pim,.Christopher Bentham, D. M`Nicoll, Wm. Horner, John Laird, and M. N. Rayner. Mr. WILLIAM JACKSON, vice-chairman, presided. Mr. MALLABY, law-clerk, produced the rate-book as amended up to the present period, and said he believed a great deal of pains had been taken that all the occupiers should be included in it who were not in the original rate. The book shewed an immense number of additional tenants and changes since the original rate was made. Mr. JACKSON.—Have you any ide4 of the increase? - - The CHAIRMAN.—That book will not give a correct ac count of the increase. Mr. MALLADY replied, that the amended rate showed an increase of 470 occupants if the changes were included, and of 130 entirely new rate-payers. The CHATUNIAN said it must be very gratifying to the commissioners to find that there was a continued increase in the number of buildings. It appeared, from a statement be. fore him, that there were now being erected in Birkenhead 131 new houses, which would produce an aggregate nett rental of £2,745 per annum,, after deducting 1:71 per cent. from the rack rent; so that it might be said there were buildings now erecting , . in Birkenhead which would produce £3,000 a year. Mr. BENTHAM thought the statement which preceded that of the Chairman the more satisfactory, namely, that theta were 130 new ratepayers, because it showed that the houses were not only erected but tenanted. The CHAIRNIAN explained that he had spoken only of the houses now in progress of erection. The amended raie.book was then passed round the table, and it was signed by all the committee present ; after which, The CHAIRMAN said this in fact was all the business, in order that all parties !night have an opportunity of recording their votes to-morrow—every person who lived in a house in Birkenhead, provided he had paid hi s ra t es . . . . Mr. Pint inquired whether the rates might be paid to morrow ? The CIIAIRMAN.—Yes. Mr. PlM.—Then we shalt get in a good sum from the ar rears not paid The CHAIRMAN.—Yes ; a contest will enliven the scene, and be the means of inducing many to pay their rates who might otherwise be tardy. Mr. J. S. JACKSON.-1 think a contest is very desirable on every occasion, if it were only that we should get the money paid. The CHAIRMAN having expressed a hope that the new commissioners would work together for the good of the township, as amicably as that had which was now defunct, the proceedings terminated. The contest is expected to be a severe one. The poll com mences this .day at ten o'clock, and will close at four. There are eight vacancies to be tilled up. one of which is caused by the resignation of Mr. John Walker, and the other seven by the. retirement in rotation of Messrs. Pim, Cole, Pritchard, Ravenscroft, Raines, Laycock, and Green, several of whom will be again put in nomination. Two or three lists of can didates have been put forth, and much canvassing is going PACKET-SHIP ASHBURTON This splendid vessel arrived at this port on Saturday, hav ing left New York on the /3th ult.

CUMBERLAND & WESTMORELAND WRESTLING' The annual Whitsun contests between the wrestlers of Cumberland and Westmoreland, which was however open to all: England, was held yesterday at the High Park Coffee House. The bowling-green was in excellent condition, and upwards of 2,000 persons were present, amongst whom were many classed as the "first fancy," having been winners of the principal prizes of not only this but of fornier years. The amount to be contested for was £4O, which was divided into prizes for three classes-Ist, the light weights not to exceed MI stone-2nd, the middle weights those not exceed ing 12 stone, and the heavy weights open to all, and 3rd, the heavy weights open to all. The number of aspirants for these prizes was greater than at any previous meeting, and the ex citement was considerably increased in consequence of a report being current that the celebrated American giant Charles Freeman was about to compete for the prizes awarded to the heavy weights. All the necessary arrangements of weighing, &c., having been completed, the light weights were called on. The number entered was 47, to which 17 blanks were added, to make the number turn out even. The first meeting was of but little importance, but on the second the interest greatly increased, particularly when At kinson, who appeared to be a great favourite, came forward. The third time over the following was the result : STOOD. FELL. . John liiSon, Carlisle. John Atkinson, (lay down.) Thos. Irving, Botcherlev. David Willis. Wm. Jackson, Mill Bank. James Jameson. George Banks, Gilcruis. William Tiffin. John Waters. Thomas Wood. Rd. Capstick, Crossley. Thomas Robert. Wm. Kay,. Bride Church. Thomas Tweddle. Matthew Atkinson. . John Robertson. Thomas Irving. George Banks. Richard Copstick John Waters. Thomas Irving. John Waters. FIFTH TIME .OVER. William Jackson. William Kay. Matthew Atkinson John Ivison. SIXTH TIME OVER. George Banks. George Capstick The final contest beiween Irving and Waters was easily settled_ in favour of the latter, who won two throws sue- cessively The next that came on the green were those whose weights did not exceed 12 stone. Donaldson was decidedly the favourite, but from the late ness it seemed improbable that the contests would conclude that evening. The umpires were Mr. Pearson and Mr. Robinson. Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., has purchased the pack of Perthshire fox-hounds so well known throughout Scotland. • Some patriotic individual, name unknown, has sent £lOO to Sir Robert Peel, to be applied in the reduction of the national debt, on the principle " that every little helps." THE LAMBING SEASON.-WC have much pleasure in stating that we have received generally very good accounts of the lambit ' , season from Strathgla ss an d ot h er parts o f the country. Although a long and severeish winter was ex• perienced, 'lambs, if not qui e so dangerous as in some for mer years, are generally healthy, and the ewes in tolerable condition. From our lielmsdale correspondence, the news is equally favourable in that northern district, Inverness Herald. N FIGRO FLYING.—The editor of the Boston Mail ridicules Mr. Henson and his aerial steam carriage, and predicts that the first career down the inclined plane will end somewhat like Sambo's first experiment, when he undertook to fly from the garret window with a pair of wings manufactured out of a leather 'Ton. The honest negro struck the ground with his head hard enough to break a sledge-hammer ;.and spring ing to his feet with a kind of rebound, scratched his wool!) , pate, exclaiming, " Dew's fuss rate flying ; no bird do him quicka ; but Golly ! dey's dam hard lighting. WHERE WERE THE WHIGS?—SUCII is the question thA the peruser of the names upon the division, on Wednesday night, in the house of Commons, upon the Arms (Ireland) Bill, is disposed to ask. " Where were the whigs ?" NO Lord John Russell figures on either side upon that division, -nor any ,Lord Howick, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Baring, and Other whig chiefs. Doubtlessly accident kept them away, or they would surely have recorded their votes in favour of a measure similar to one they themselves introduced a few years since! FOUR FISHERMEN DROWNED.—A number of fishing boats belonging to Greencastle, had arrived at the Isle Bank, on Wednesday morning last. for the purpose of taking cod. After they had shot their ►ines, the wind veered round to the north, and a sudden storm arose, the sea at the same time running very high, and breaking over the boats. The fisher men determined on hauling in their lines, and returning home; but, unfortunately, one of the boats vitis unable to accomplish this' and, while the crew were hauling in the lines, she must have either swamped or upset. The sea was so rough that no assistance could be afforded by their fellow fishermen, and the crew, four in number met a watery grave. Londonderry paper. Her Majesty has granted a free pardon to James Foster, coal-merchant, of this town, convicted at the last assizes for the city of liloucester, of uttering a forged £5 Bank of Eng land note. We have been given to understand that a great difference of opinion as to the verdict prevailed amongst the jurymen ; and in order to put an end to the dispute as to the verdict, they tossed up for it ! and the result was unfortunate to the prisoner; but owing to the exercise of that most valu able of all the prerogatives of the crown, the injustice hus been as far as possible remedied. Another statement made respecting the jury is, that one of them was a relative of the prosecutor, and that the latter in the event of a conviction became entitled to receive the £5 from the Bank of England ! One would have hardly expected such disgracdul conduct from a jury composed of the residents of our county town !

ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF DOCTORS' COMMONS.—On the west side of Thames-street is a house, bladed of stone, which belongeth to Paul's Church, and was sometime let to the Blunts, Lord Mountjoy ; but of a later time to a college in Cambridge, and front them to the doctors of the civil law, and arches, who keep a commons there ; - and, many of them being lodged there, it is called the Doctors' Bowel's Londinopolis —ornmons.— THE ELECTRO-M A GNETIC CLOCK.—One of the most sin gular and . useful inventions of modern ti m es i s P r of; sser Wheatstone's electro-magnetic dock; the object of which is to indicate, by connection with other clocks, exactly the same time in as many different places, distant from each other, as may be required. A standard clock in an observatory, for example, would thus keep in order another dock in each apartment, and that, too, with such accuracy, that all of them, however numerous, will beat dead seconds audibly, with as great precision as the standard astronomical timepiece with which they are connected. But, .besides this, the subordi nate timepieces thus regulated, require none of the mechan ism for maintaining or regulating the power. They consist simply of a face, with its second, minute, and hour hands, and of a train of wheels which communicate motion from the action of the second hand to that of the hour hand, in the same manner as an ordinary clock train. Nor is this inven tion confined to observatories and large establishthents. The great horologe of St. Paul's might, by a suitable network of wires, or even by the existing metallic pipes of the metropo lis, be made to command and regulate all the other steeple clocks in the city, and even every clock within the precincts of its metallic bOunds. When railways and telegraphs ex tend from London to the remotest cities and villages, the sen sation of time may be transmitted along with the elements of language ; and the great cerebellum of the metropolis may thus constrain by its sympathies, and regulate by its power, the whole nervous system of the empire.—Quarterly Review. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.—Of the College of Maynooth I must likewise speak briefly, for the reason that an accurate description of that establishment would be of necessity so disagreeble, that it is best to pass it over in a few words. An Irish union-house is a palace to it. Ruin so needless, filth so disgusting, such a look of lazy squalor, no Englishman who has ne4, - seen can conceive. Lecture-room and dining: ball, kitchefi and students' room, were all the same. I shall never forget the sight of-score s of shoulders of mutton lying on the filthy floor in the former, or the view of a bed arid dressing-table that 1. saw in the other. Let the next May. nooth grant include it few shillings' worth of whitewash and a few hundred weights of soap; and if to this be added a half score of drill-sergeants to see that the students appear clean at lecture, and to teach them to keep their heads up and to look people in the face, parliament will introduce some cheap reforms into the seminary, which were never needed more than here. Why should the place be so shamefully ruinous and foully dirty? Lime is cheap, and water plenty at the canal hard by. Why should a stranger, after a week's stay in the country, be able to discover a priest by the scowl on his face and his doubtful downcast manner ? Is it a point of discipline that his reverence should be made to look as ill humuured as possible? And I hope these words will not be taken hostilely. It would have been quite as easy and more pleasant to say the contrary, had the Country seemed to me to have been the fact, and to have declared that the priests were remarkable for their expression of candour. and their college for its extreme neatness and cleanliness.—Titmarses Irish Sketches. SPLENDID MISZRY.—There is recorded (in the lire of Theodore Hook) in more than usual detail, one winter visit at the seat of a nobleman of almost unequalled wealth— evidently particularly loud of Hook, and always mentioned in terms of real gratitude, even affection. Here was a large company, including some of the very highest names in Eng land ; the party seemed to have remained together for more than a fortnight, or if one went the place was filled immedi ately by another not less distinguished by the advantages of birth and fortune; Hook's is the only untitled name—except • a led captain and chaplain or two, and some misses of musical celebrity. What a struggle he has to maintain ! Every Thursday he has to meet the printer of John Ball, to arrange the • paper for Saturday's impression. While the rest are shooting or hunting, he clears his head as well as he can, and steals a few hours to write his articles. When they go to bed on Wednesday night, ha smuggles himself into n post-chaise, and is carried fifty miles acme's the country to some appoint ed " Blue Boar" or " Crooked Billet." Thursday morning is spent in overhauling correspondence, in the details of the editorship. He with hard driving gets back to the neigh bourhood of the Castle when the dressing bell is ringing. Mr. Hook's servant has intimated that his toaster is slightly indisposed ; he enters the gate as if from a short walk in the wood; in halt an hour behold him answering placidly the inquiries of the ladies—his headache fortunately gone at last —quite ready for the turtle and champagne —puns rattle like a hail-shower—" that dear Theodore" had never b een more brilliant. At a decorous hour the gre a t l or d an d h i s graver guests retire ; it is supposed that the evening is over—that the house is shut up. But Hook is quartered in a long bache lors' gallery with half-a-dozen bachelors of far different cali bre. One of them a dashing young earl, proposes what the Diary calls " something comfortable" in his dressing room. Hook, after his sleepless night and busy day, hesitates, but is persuaded. The broiled bones are attended by more cham pagne—Roman punch—hot brandy and water finally ; for there are plenty of butlers and grooms of the chamber ready to minister to the delights of the distant gallery, ever pro ductive of fees to man and maid The end is that they play deep, and that Theodore loses a great deal more money than he brought with him from town, or knows how to come at if he were there, But he rises next mornin g w i t h a sw i mm i ng, a p itil er c s ul e ty is to be made; perceives that he to ‘yhom he dis closes oue w ss ef i t l as d sw e thri r iii e e(t) d encait h lbls e l Ise a et, d atr 0 , 71 and tiulitys)tr :0 8 ors, (aliasah o, e i tynlfeui etermsy. o d s,s i rd s ejne ) it a hundred pounds by return of post.

When the time comes for him at last to leave his splendid friend, be finds that he has lost a fortnight as respects a book that must be finished within a month or six weeks—and that what with travelling expellees hither and thither (he has to defray the printer's too), and losses at Play to silken coxcombs, who consider bun as an admirable jack-pudding, and alo as au invaluabl e p i geon since he drains his glass as well as tills it—he • has throw n away more money than he could have earned by the labour of three months in his own room at Fulham, But then the rumble of the green chariot is seen well stocked with pheasants and hares, as it pauses and passes through town at Crockfords, the Carlton, or the Athenreem ; and as often as the Morning Post alludad to the noble peer's Christmas court, Mr. Theodore Hook's name closed the paragraph of," Fashionable .

The circumstances which have called forth the authoritative decision of the right rev. prelate; in his official capacity as bishop of the diocese, are of a somewhat novel description, and the whole proceeding must, at this time more especially, be regarded with attention. It appears that, about five or six weeks back, the Rev. Edward Wix, curate of St. Leonard's parish, received from an anonymous donor a pair of massive silver candlesticks, together with au alma basin, finished in a superior style of workmanship, accompanied by a brief note, having neither signature nor address, the writer merely expressing a wish that his " offering" might be applied to the decoration of the communion table. On the receipt of this strange communi cation the Rev. Mr. Wix forwarded the articles to the churchwarden's, with the donor's letter, and another from himself, suggesting that the " pious offering" should be entered in the book kept for the record of such acts of mum ficence. The churchwardens, conceiving, perhaps, that they were not bounder officio to act upon the dictum of the cu rate, resolved to take the opinion of the other parochial authorities before they incurred the responsibility incident to a formal recognition of the transaction. A meeting of the trustees of the poor was called, at which Mr. J. B. Chees vrright, the senior warden, presided. After much discussion the trustees determined on rejecting the "offering," and ex pressed that determination in formal resolution as follows : "That this board regrets that the name of the donor is not made known in order that the candlesticks should be home diately returned. " That this board consider the donation quite unnecessary and ought not to be received, and request that the same may be immediately removed. • 'Tat copies of the foregoing resolutions be transmitted to the Rev. Edward \Vix and to the Lord Bishop of London." Mr. Ware, clerk to the trustees of the poor, in compliance with the order of the board,. forwarded to the Bishop of Lon don a letter explanatory of the whole proceeding, together with a copy of the resolutions agreed to. The right rev. prelate's reprytOtl;communication is in the following terms:— " London House, May 18. " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of ypur letter, and a copy of the resolutions agreed to by the trustees of the poor in the parish of St. Leenard, Shoreditch. 1 beg to observe, that the matter to which the resolution refers is one in which the trustees have no authority, It con cerns the churchwardens,who are to act iu the matter as they think fit, subject to the directions of the bishop. " It is doubtful whether they are at liberty to return the offerings which are made to the church, although they may demur to the use of them : upon that point they ought to consult me.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " To J. Ware, r Esq. " C. J. L ONDON. " The churchwardens, it seems, have resolved to take no fur ther step in the matter until they have an opportunity of consulting the diocesan, agreeably to the right rev. prelate's suggestion. The majority of the parishioners is opposed to the exhibition of altar-decorations in the parish church. DR. PU SEY'S SERMON (From the Oxford Journal.) We have heard, from authority which we can rely on, that sermon lately preached before the University, at Chri s t Church, by the Rev. Dr. Pusey,And demanded for this pur pose- by the Margaret Professor of Divinity, has separated without pronouncing any collective judgment, but each mem ber sulk iu his own report, and the result, we are informed, is, hat the Vice-Chancellor has ordered that the Professor of H ebrew be suspended from preaching before the IT sity for two years. We understand further, that the Re. T. E. Morris, who preached the sermon on the Ascension Day before the University, in the Cathedral, which was also demanded, has been sent for and admonished: In consequence of the above decision, the following protest was yesterday evening promulgated by the Rev. Dr. Pusey : " Mr. Vice-Chancellor, " You will be assured that the following protest, which I feel it ray duty to the Church to deliver, is written with en tire respect for your Wilco, and without any imputation upon yourself individually. " I have stated to you, on different occasions, as opporlu ity offered, that I was at a loss to conceive what in my ser ►ous could be construed into discordance with the Formula es of our Church : I have requested you to adopt that alter ative in the statutes which allows the accused a hearing : I have again and again requested that definite propositions, which were thought to be at variance with our Formularies, should, according to the alternative in the statute, be pro posed to me : I have declared repeatedly my entire assent ex animo to all the doctrinal statements of our Ch►,rch on - this subject, and have, as far as I 'had opportunity, declared my sincere and entire consent to them indiiidually : I have ground to think that, as no propositions out of my sermon have been exhibited to me as at variance with the doctrine of our Church, P o neither can they ; but I have been con- J I dawned either on a mistaken construction of my words, founded upon the doctrinal opinions of my judges, or on grounds distinct from the Formularies of our Church. " Under these circumstances, since the State manifestly contemplates certain grave and definite instances of contra riety or discordance frum the Formularies of our Church, I feel it my duty to protest against the late sentence against me as unstatutable as well as unjust. " I remain, Mr. Vice-Chancellor, "Your humble servant, " E. 13. - - - " 4 Christ Church, June 2, 2843." [The paragraph, therefore, to which the 'Times gave publicity, and which we inserted in our last, is mani festly incorrect. Indeed, the production of the ipsissima verba, from one of the Greek ecclesiastical writers, does not affect the question, which is not whether the doctrines coon. ciated in the sermon are in accordance with those of any, or all of the fathers, but whether they correspond with the for mularies and articles of the Church of England ; and the au thorities, we perceive, have pronounced the contrary.] DISSENTERS AND PUBLIC CHARITIES (From the Standard.) In consequence of the boasting of some sectarian, that Dissenters contribute more largely than Churchmen to ob jects of benevolence, a correspondent lately asked us for in formation upon the point. We were unable at the time to furnish precise information, though we could not for a mo ment doubt of the utter and absurd falsehood of the secta rian vaunt. .4 little tract addressed, in the form of a letter, to Sir Robert Harry Inglis, has since bean placed in our hands, which, though it does not furnish full information, is particular as far as it goes, and the places referred to may surely be taken as presenting a fair enough specimen of the whole country. What the writer proposes to offer is thus described by himself:— " A comparative view of the support given by Churchmen and Dissenters to institutions for the good of the poor of all religious deuontinalioiss, according to the printed lists of subscribers. " The word ' Dissenters' includes the Wesleyans, Quakers, and Roman Catholics; and the Dissenters at the following places are as numerous and respectable as they are in other parts of the country, in proportion to the population." He begins with Durham, and recites the several charities as follows :—lnfimary, Blue-coat School, Compassionate Society, Mendicity Society, Infant Schools, Bible Auxili ary, Bible Association, . . . . The gross subscription to these charities is £944 9s. Gd of which is subscribed— £ s. d. By Churchmen By Dissenters Twenty-eight to one in favour of Churchmen's liberality at Durham. The next statement is of Gloucester. The list of charities pretty much the same; the gross subscriptions £2515 9s. 6d. distributed as follows : X s. d.

THE REV. HUGH M'NEILE AND THE REV. W. VEVERS TO TIM REV. HUGH ICNEILt Reverend Sir—l have just seen your letter addressed to me in the Derby Mercury, published this morning, and for , • , .. • which 1 thank you, as it gives me an opportunity of confirm ing, by your own statements, the views which,l expressed in my former letter respecting the prevalence of Puseyism in the Clinch of England, and the inefficiency of the discipline in ,stablishment to counteract the influence of that dan- ..,,,csy.

Now they do give it their attention." If there be any meaning in words—any precision in language —these two extracts from your speeches, are in positive con tradiction to each other. In the first, the Puseyites are rare —almost as black as swans ; but in the, last, they hare got into the citadel—they endanger the church : you 'and otters saw the evil: men in power treated you as " ultra " Pro testants, or more than " ultra " as " extra " Protestants; but the Wesleyans have forced the subject upo n th e a tt en ti o n of men in authority, and Therefore they have dotie that for the church which some of the clergy, with yourself, laboured to do, but laboured in vain ! and therefore the Wesleyans are entitled to the thanks of the sound men among the clergy, for having, by their opposition to the government measure of education, forced the subject of Puseyism upon the attention of the government; and yet in your letter to me in this day's Derby Mercury you say, " I am strongly impressed with the deep responsibility of those who have op posed themselves to the proposed educational measure. Their sincerity is not doubted; but sincerity is no test of truth. It is the duty of public men to have informed as well as conscientious minds." I venture to assume that the stability of the establishment is of more importance in your estima tion than even the education of the manufacturing popula tion ; but if the Wesleyans have by their opposition—not to education—but to the exclusiveness of the system proposed to be adopted, convinced men in power that Puseyism has endangered the establishment, then if the permanent exist ence of the Church of England be desirable and important, they are entitled to the gratitude of the clergy, and of your self in particular, for having done that which you and others could not do ! In mY former letter I insisted upon the want of power in the establishment to resist the inroads of Poseyisin by the application of a system .of efficient discipline ; a position which, in the very same speech, you deny and affirm !!

" 1 fear not only for theoutbreak of this heresy, but from the sapping and un dermining effects of this false I SEE LITTLE OF THE TONE AND TEMPER THAT WON THE REFORMATION, AND IT CAN ONLY BE RE- T.AINED BY THE TEMPER WHICH ACHIEVED IT." • Unless I am utterly void of understanding, the contradic. tion in these extracts from the same speech is so palpable that it were to insult the judgment of any man to point it out. I have in my first quotation in this letter given the extract which you think I acted unfairly in not giving before. It confirms my view of the whole subject. The fact of the prevalence of Puseyism, and not your belief, was the matter at issue ; and after the quotations which I have just given, if you still refuse to believe your own testimony, I confess I cannot think of attempting to convince you'! The manner in which you propose to the laity to get rid of Puseyism. at the time you are maintaining the integrity of the Establishment, is so novel and so un-English, and pro claims so loudly the want of ecclesiastical authority in the church that I marvel even after so much deliberation, you should avow it, and recommend it ! In conclusion, I would remind you that th e W es l evans have given abundant evidence that they have not sought their own things. They have not derived help from the grant placed at the disposal of the Committee of Education ! The glory of this rests chiefly, though not exclusively, with the church ! It cannot but be a subject of deep regret to every lover of his country, that on the eve of a civil war in Ireland, and at a season when Scotland is convulsed by a rupture more seri ous in its immediate and remote results than any event that has occurred since the Reformation, her majesty's ministers, prompted by the clergy, should have been so infatuated as to attempt to force upon the nation a measure fraught with mis chief, and wlitth an immense multitude, who are entitled to attention, denounce as fatal to the civil and religious liberty of the country. The part which the clergy have taken in this measure has done more mischief to the establishment than can be estimated; and if the clergy and government act under the influence of prudence and patriotism, they will instantly retrace their steps, and allow the waters of strife to recede. that the voice of the , turtle* may be heard again in the land. I am, reverend Sir, Your's, most respectfullN Derby, May 31st, 1843 W. VEVERS [At the request of Mr. Vevers, we. insert the preceding letter. As he allows us no other alternative, we are obliged to express our conviction that he is " utterly void of under standing," for be has evidently read the whole of Mr. M'Neile's speech at the -Church Missionary meeting, and though the extracts in this letter are as disingenuous and shamefully garbled as those which Mr. Vevers made use of in the pamphlet which provoked Mr. M'Neile's reply, they will not, even according to their present tortuous application, answer the purpose of the writer. It is unnecessary to give the speech in full from which these extracts are taken ; but, as a sample of Mr. Vevers' dishonesty, let us give the .re mainder of a single quot a ti on , w hi c h M r . V evers so con cisely lops off by the comprehensive but convenient adjunct, " &c." "If won wish to keep your church a missionary church, with any prospect of good to the heathen, you must keep it a Protestant church ; and if you will keep your church Protestant, you must practically protest not only against popery, commonly so called, but also against semi-popish statements and proceedings within her pale. (Hear, hear, hear, and great cheering.) You should withdraw yourselves, not from the church certainly, happily there is no occasion, for our churches stand within moderate distances one from another, and there is scarcely a neighbourhood to be found where you may not hare a choice without serious incoureni ence." The latter part of this sentence Mr. Vevers leaves out, as it of course goes to prove anything but Mr. M'Neile's conviction of the prevalence of tractarianism, the weakness and scarcity of which he distinctly announces in his advice to the laity to " starve it out" ; the recommendation to do which would belt mere nullity did Mr. M'Neile con sider the power and prevalence of tractarianisin so great its Mr. Vevers appears desirous of proving from Mr. M'Neile's representations. Let our readers take another instance of dissenting rectitude. It is evident from the last sentence of the closing extract, which is printed in capitals, that Mr. Vevers is anxious to show that Mr. Mlisile intended it to apply to tractarianism, but it is clear that the remark was only directed to the false charily which is so p reva j ent at present. Take the passag e a s a w hole :—" The only w ay to attain and retain a character for charity now is to admit —to say, ' I may be wrong in this, I cannot say, perhaps Christ was not God—l must not dare to say . positively he is, for that would give offence to the Unitarians —perh a p s there are other mediators between God and man : I must be modest, and I may be wrong — my Roman Catholic brethren may be right in praying to the Virgin Mary-1 do not say.' (Hear, hear.) This is what goes down now, sir. (Loud cheers.) Oh, sir, we must beware how we yield to the current that is setting that way. (Hear, hear.) I fear not only from the outbreak of this heresy, but from the sapping and under mining effects of this false charity. (Hear.) I see little of the tone and temper that won the Reformation, and it ca n only be retained by the temper which achieved it." Oh, Mr. Vevers! is it not paltry, is it not unbecoming your cha racter and position amongst the Wesleyans, to represent Mr. M'Neile in the last two lines as speaking of tractarianiam, when any man not " utterly void of understanding," can only read them as applying to the falsehood which the speaker was then denouncing, viz., the infidel liberalism which passes current in the present day for charity, meek ness, and forbearance. We need say no more to a writer who can so artfully contrive his extracts to make them mean anything or nothing, as best suits his purpose. Mr. M'Neile has already exposed one instance of this, and those which we have now added will not, we think, improve the character of Mr. Vevers as a fair and candid writer.] --40. --- CHURCH EXTENSION AND ENDOWMENT, ABSTRACT OF A BILL TO MAKE BETTER PROVISION FOR THE SPIRITUAL CURS OF POPULOUS PARISHES, PRE PARED AND BROUGHT INTO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ....• BY .

Witham, •, 1 i aged 15, was killed on the Eastern Count R 1 s al way, at hlargaretting. He was engaged with a waggon train, and in attempting to get from the engine to the buffer, just as the train started, his foot slipped, he fell across one of the rails, and two or three waggons passed over him, crushing both legs and mutilating his body in various places. In a state of great suffering he was conveyed to the Bull public-house, not far Off, hut the landlord refused to receive him withut an overseer's order, though piteously intreated by the sufferer himself as well as those in charge of him.
