Among the variou isorders of the mouth, there are none more destructive an Scurvy, which, on first entering the gums, cause mto bleed on the most trifling occasions. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the teeth, penetrating into the gums, Which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose and drop out of their sockets, and it is-well known that the loss ,of Teeth arises more from this cause - than any other; in short, Scurvy in the Gums affects individuals of all ages and constitutions, and if not speedily removed, will be the primary cause of •too h-ache and decay.

NEW YORS, OCT. 20, NOON.—The Niagara reached Boston on the 19th, at 3 p.m. Her news, received at New York by telegraph, caused a decline in both the corn and cotton markets. There is no news of interest since the sailing of the Cambria. It is settled that the Whigs have carried Pennsylvania, Florida, and probably Ohio ; this gives them a gain of three United States senators. Nothing new from Canada. Letters from Madrid are published in New York, an nouncing positively that negotiations are on foot for the sale of Cuba to the United States. Exchange on London, 1084. The early hour fixed for the departure of the Hermann prevented any quotations of the various markets on the 20th being given. The Hermann brings 30 passengers, and $300,000. THE CAPITULATION OF VIENNA. The latest intelligence from Vienna is of the highest interest. It appears from the German papers, and even from official documents, that the city had unconditionally surrendered on the 30th ult. The attack lasted from the 28th to the evening of the 29th ult., when a truce was agreed upon which extended to the following day at noon. Then the Hungarians, who had crossed the frontier, made an attack on the imperial troops, in which they were as sisted by a " sortie' of the Viennese, but they were com pletely defeated. Notwithstanding the capitulation of Vienna, which fact does not seem to admit of any doubt the latest advices that have reached us assert that Windis cligratz had advanced as far as the Stephans-Platz, that the Viennese had recommenced the combat, that Kossuth had arrived in the Hungarian camp, and that the city had been bombarded once more on the 31st ult. These state ments, however, are vague and confused. PRUSSTA. [Some disturbances took place at Berlin on the 31st ult. Immense crowds were assembled on the Gensdar men-market, before the theatre, where the National Assembly holds its sittings. The mob wanted to influ ence the decisions of the Assembly as to the conduct to be adopted respecting the condition of Vienna. Some deputies were ill-treated when leaving the house. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 4. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE, Mr. Justice CoLTmAN, Mr. Justice MAULE, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) WITSON (PUBLIC OFFICER OF THE LIVERPOOL BANKING COMPANY) V. ST. JOHN'S EQUITABLE LOAN SOCIETY. In this case Mr. WARREN, at the suggestion of one of the learned Judges, made at chambers, moved for leave to enter an appearance for the defendants. The circumstances under which the application was made were these :—The loan► society had recently become insolvent, owing the banking company nearly £5OO, and the Banking Company, by their public officer, had issued a writ to recover that sum ; and in the present case the question was how that writ was to be served. It appeared that the loan society had been completely registered under the Joint Stock Companies' Registration Act (7 and 8 Victoria, c. 110), but in that act there was no provision made for the service of any writ or process upon the ser vants of a company registered within its provisions. The affidavits on which the learned counsel moved stated that a person named John Molloy was a director of the society and president of the directors, and had so returned himself to the proper officer under the Joint-Stock Companies Registration Act, and that William Thomas Picard was returned as the secretary of the society ; that attempts had been made to serve Picard with the writ as an officer of the society, but on enquiry being made it turned out that he had removed from the place of business of the society and from his private resi dence, and, it was believed, had gone to America, and that the business of the society was no longer carried on. Under these circumstances the writ had been served upon Mr. John Molloy and upon other directors of the society, and also upon the attorney to the society, but no one had appeared. The Joint Stock Companies' Registration Act constituted a company completely registered under its pro visions into a corporation ; and the Uniformity of Process Act (2 and 3 William IV., c. 30), by its 18th section, enacted that every writ of summons " issued against a cor poration aggregate may be served on the mayor or other head officer, or on the town-clerk, clerk, treasurer, or se cretary of such corporation." The secretary could not be served, he having absconded; and he submitted to their lordships that Mr. Molloy came within the terms of the 18th section of the Uniformity of Process Act as " head officer" of the corporation, he having returned himself as president of the directors. He had been served with a copy of the writ, and his application was to be allowed to enter an appearance for the society. The only case at all in point was " Walton v. the Universal Salvage Company," 4 ll : and L. 558. The LORD GRIEF JUSTICE.—Why do you not enter an appearance without applying to the court? Mr. WARREN.—The officer will not enter an appear ance without an affidavit that a copy of the writ was served upon the " head officer," and the process-server could not swear that Mr. Molloy was the " head officer." The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—Then how can the court decide it ? You may take your rule to show cause serving the rule on Molloy and the other directors. Rule nisi granted. LIVERPOOL STANDARD. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. MONDAY EVENING. The sudden prosperity, particularly in railway circles, of which we gave an account last week, has not received any additional impulse since our last. We said then, in reporting the general opinion on 'Change, that no one anticipated we should fly away at a tangent from the elevation so quickly attained, but that a progressive im provement was expected. This opinion still prevails; and the trifling reaction which has since taken place in shares may be regarded only as a settling down into something like a reasonable state of public feeling, after the first blush of excitement subsided. Any transition state, to be permanent, must be slow, and we think much better of our prospects for the future, that the semblance of a panic has not characterised the beginnings of success. The Bank of England has lent a helping band in reducing the rate of discount, which will doubtless operate most bene ficially on trade generally; although neither this, nor the improvement in railway stock and Consols seem to have produced much effect on the prices of colonial pro duce either here or in London, although much more activity is observable. The increased demand for sugar continues here ; the sales are considerable, and the consumption satisfactory. On the continent the state of uncertainty, so long existing, continues. The leading Parisian firms manifest considerable distrust, and are restricting their transactions in every possible manner until the approaching Presidential election shall have been struggled through. Money is plentifal in Hamburgh, and the difficulty in finding employment for it increases daily, the present rate of discount being 1 to 11 per cent. The English funds partake of the 'general uneasiness, and although Consols opened on Saturday at 864- to I, after touching 851 they left off at 85t to Though prices are not quite so high as the highest point they reached a few days back, yet the SHARE market is very firm, and higher prices are Looked for. London and North-Western closed this evening 1161 1181, Midland 'ft 11. Mr. Hudson has, by economical changes in this latter line, reduced the working expenses 10 per cent. A call of £2 per share on the Great Northern Railway, advertised on Friday, and amounting to £448,000, payable on the 30th instant, increases the 'calls for Nov. to £1,623,362. 'The movements in the COHN market since Friday have been of little import, and productive of no change from the prices crT that day. The principal additional arrivals to report since then are '9271 qrs. Oats and 4742 loads Oatmeal 'from Ireland, and 1414 qrs. Indian Corn and 4200 btls. Flour from the States ; besides which, there has been imported 390'qrs. Wheat, 1.16 qrs. Barley, 10 qrs. Malt, 330 qrs. Beans, 24 loads Oatmeal, and '2BO sacks Flour, from all parts. In the English naaikets generally the prices of last week are pretty well support ed, and in some instances a trifling advance has been obtained for the bestdry samples of new Wheat, also for Malting Barley ; Oats and Oatmeal have receded n little at Manchester and Preston. The Irish markets also are tolerably firm, and at Waterford native Wheat has ad vanced ls. to is. fid. per barrel for best samples ; but Indian Corn still moves slowly, and in some cases at a redaction. This, combined with the omission:in nearly all our Irish letters of any mention of the Potato crop, leads us to suspect that a great deal of the croaking about that valuable edible has been premature. The only ex ception to the general silence is favourable, and runs as follows :- Youghal, Nov. 4th.-In this district the greater part of the Potato crop has been got out of the ground, and more than half are quite free from taint, and will keep well through the year; , whilst the damaged ones are no worse now than they were two months ago. Their price has declined in our markets this week from Is. to Bd. per 231 b. 'We were told yesterday on 'Change, by two gentlemen who have severally visited the northern (about Kendal . and neighbourhood) and eastern districts of England, that the Potatoes are exceedingly bad there. and it was thought that in a month there would not be a sound Potato in the former locality. A letter from Newcastle upon-Tyne, however, states that about one-half of the Potato crop has been secured, in much better condition than was expected some time ago. The advance in the price of CorroN reported last week in this column, was in some danger about the middle of the week; but the market has since displayed further elasticity, prices being on a slightly ascending scale. The market on Saturday was only quiet in appearance, with a limited attendance of country buyers down ; the sales 4,500 to 5,000 bales, including 500 to 800 on speculation, at very steady prices. This DAY the market has been very firm, with a good demand from the trade, and com mon Americans realised rather more money. The sales amount to 5,000 bales, comprising 4,670 American, '3O Bahia, &c., 50 Maranham, and 250 Surat. This favour able turn to-day places the advance slightly higher on American descriptions than the full quotation noticed last Monday. The last accounts from America afford nothing new with respect to the crop, except that it is scarcely expected to reach the large amount previously anticipated. Prices were gradually falling at New -Orleans, middling being 'quoted 51 to k cents. With respect to East India Cotton, Messrs. T. and H. Littledale, in their monthly circular, with a copy of which we have been favoured, statethat "The low rates at which the ordinary qualities of American have been selling, 2d. to 3d., has materially interfered with the consumption of Surat Cotton. The sales in the month have been 9,380, of which 2,060 and 500 bales Bengal have been taken for export ; prices have been better supported than could have been expected, the decline being little more than id. per lb. The import bas been large, amounting to 27,360 bales, leaving only two or three cargoes yet to arrive before the Spring, when the extent of supply will be uncertain, owing to the failure of the native crop in China, and the discouragement to importers, arising from the extreme low prices which have for some time past ruled here." There has been rather more inquiry for Foreign WOOL this week, but no transactions of moment have taken place. Prices are without alteration. Scotch is not much inquired for. Imports for the week :-Foreign, from Bombay 357, Lisbon 99, Buenos Ayres 93, previ ously 63,447; Scotch, 633, previously 15,880. We are gratified to be able to announce an improve ment in the Scotch PIG IRON trade this week. For some months we have had little to record but a continual re currence of quiet markets; there has been more business, however, transacted during the last few days, and our quotations are, for Mixed Numbers, good brands, 425. 6d. to 435. f.o.b. at Glasgow ; Gartsherrie No. 1, 455. do. AMERICAN Beef is still scarce; a small parcel of fine Prime Mess realized 100 s., which is 7s. 6d. above the range of the general quotations. Bacon is more inquired after ; unattended, however, by any improvement in price. We have no stock of either Hams or Shoulders. The value of Pork remains unaltered, the chief inquiry being for Mess : the market is cleared of Prime. Our stock of Cheese is almost exhausted, a large business having been transacted both by public and private sales : nearly the whole of the 2700 boxes brought forward by auction last week sold briskly at an advance on previous rates. Lard has again fallen to about the lowest prices of the season, a considerable reduction having taken place on the week. The quotations are as fellow :-- Cheese-(duty paid)-Fine, 46s to 52s per cwt. ; middling, 39s to 45s ; ordinary, 30s to 38s. Beef-U.S. (free)-Prime mess, per tree. 3041b.

Butter-Canada, (duty paid,) 60s to 66s per cwt. ; grease, (free,) 405 to 445. Soda Biscuit-(duty paid)-268 to 288 per cwt. Apples-(duty paid)-12s to 17s per barrel. The best qualities of IRISH Butter maintain the prices quoted last week, but middling and lower kinds are cheaper, with a limited consumption for every descrip tion. Some new Bacon from Belfast, which has just come into the market, sells slowly at 60s. ; and new Beef, an article of Irish produce which we have not had to no tice in our report previously this year, is selling at 925. 6d. (the highest price for American.) THE TIMBER TRADE.-The supplies sent to this port of N. A. Colonial Wood (railway sleepers included) have been brought in about 253 vessels, engaging a tonnage of 152,000. During the contemporary period last year, there arrived 210 vessels, 118,000 tons. The sales from the quay are of Quebec Yellow Pine, at prices ranging from 131 d. to 15d. per foot. according to average size and qua lity ; St. John, of the various sizes, say inches average 20, 19, 181, and 18, sold at 184 d. 171c1., and 161 d. per foot; a cargo of small Miramichi Pine sold at 1310., and one of Dalhousie at 13d. per foot; Quebec Red Pine has been sold with cargo at from 171 d. to 181 d., and St. John and Lower Port at from 114 d. to 13d. per foot. Spruce Planks are still at a reduced value : they are unprece dentedly low : the last sales are quoted at, for Prince Edward's Island, £5 3s. lid., and for Miranaithi £7 to £7 ss. per standard. The subjoined notices of several important items of East and West India produce we transcribe from the valuable monthly circular of Messrs. T. and H. Littledale, published on Saturday :- " TEA.-The market still is very inanimate-but little doing. Common to good common congous are difficult of sale at easier rates : there is less inquiry for the fine and finest kinds, and prices have a downward tendency, holders generally being de sirous to realise. Scented Capers continue in demand, but are very scarce. Scented Orange Pekoes, in which there have been but few transrctions, are id. to Id. per pound lower. The required kinds of Greens are scarce, viz., Imperials, Gun powders, and Fine Young Hysons ; Twankays and Common Young Hysons are almost unsaleable, and Hysons are very dull of safe at Id. to 2d. per lb. decline. The clearances for the month have been very fair, viz., 1,143,493 lbs., against 1,025,155 lbs. same month last year. " SUGAR.-In the early part of the month we had a very heavy market for Sugar, but holders giving way Is. per cwt., caused grocers and refiners to buy extensively, and during the last fortnight a large business has been done at this decline. 1,200 hhds. of West India, half of which were Barbadoes, at 345. to 405., and 15,000 bags Benares at 575. 6d. for low White, to 425. 6d. for very fine. There seems to be an impression at last thrt Sugar has seen the lowest point. The consumption continues highly satisfactory, and the total excess in the stocks in the kingdom is now only 8, GO tons. Here we have a falling off of 7,000 tons, being 26,000 against 33,000. " We have again to report a most unsatisfactory state of our COFFEE market; prices are not much lower this month, but it is extremely difficult to make sales. Good Native Ceylon is not worth more than 28s. per cwt. " The market for RUM has been very quiet, and prices are again rather lower. " In RICE there has not been much doing, but prices have been nearly supported; the last few days there has been more inquiry, particularly for the lower descriptions for Ireland. E. 1. HEMPS are in fair demand. JUTE commandsa ready sale: good strong quality commands 105. to per ton. " The sales in SALTPETRE have been considerable-8,000 bags, but at low prices for the common and middling descrip. tions ; 7 per cent. at 235., sat 245. 6d., and 2at 265. NITRATE has been heavy of sale, at 10s. 9d. to Ils. per cwt. " The London INDIGO sale opened with some spirit at an ' advance on July rates of 3d. to 4d. per lb., but towards the middle there was less disposition shewn to purchase, and the sale closed heavily at par to 3(1. advance. Good and fine Ma dras were scarce, and brought an advance of 4d. per lb. 500 chests will be offered here by . auction on the 23d instant. "SILK.-The public sales just concluded have confirmed the highest prices previously paid by speculators , thus establishing a rise of 2s, to 3s. per lb. on the lowest quotations in July last in China Raw Silk. The quantity purchased by manufacturers was comparatively small, notwithstanding, which importers and dealers are very firol in holding at the extreme Advance. Bengal Silks are also 6d. to Is, and Italian Is. per lb. higher, and little on the market. The Silk trade generally is not so well employed as for some time past; the rise in prices, there fore, may be attribute". to the expected short supply (that being inferior quality) and the very low rates previously cur rent. Silk Waste and Knubbs and Husks are in limited re quest, at low rates. SILK PIECE Goons.—Good Corahs are in fair demand, with some improvement in price. China Goods are still difficult of sale, and in limited demand. THE SURPLICE QUESTION AGAIN.—The city of Exeter was in a state of great excitement on Sunday evening week, in consequence of the evening lecturer at St. Sid well's church (the Rev. Mr. Ingle, who has been very lately ordained,) entering the pulpit in his surplice. The congregation instantly expressed their indignation at what they deemed an insult, after the scenes of 1844-5. Many of the parishioners quitted the church, and amongst those who remained cries arose of " Take his surplice from him," " Turn him out," &c., &c. The rev. gentle man, amidst the utmost confusion, managed to get through his sermon, but the church more resembled a bear-garden than God's temple. The circumstances are under investigation by the Bishop. It is deeply to be regretted that a young man, who has just been ordained, should have so grossly violated public feeling by an act which even the Rubric does not sanction at the evening service of the church. The uproar commenced with a general " coughing down." Several persons then moved towards the door, making a great noise in their progress ; a young woman went -off in a fit of hysterics, uttering loud shrieks, whilst a mob outside besieged the duors of the building. A cry 'of " Fire !" was raised, followed by an announcement that the church doors were closed, and a rush was made to burst them open. Some persons cried " Turn him oat !" " Put out his lights !" In the galleries the uproar was at its height, whistling, the noise of cat-calls, and such cries as are heardin theatres, hur rahing, &c., echoed throughout the edifice. Mr. Ingle still 'persisted to read his text, but was quite inaudible, and the row increased, some of the congregation waving their hats, standing on the seats, jumping over the seats, bawling, roaring, and gesticulating, like a mob at an election. The reverend gentleman, 'in the midst of the , confusion, despatched a message to the mayor requesting his assistance, and whilst the messenger was gone on his errand the churchwarden, Mr. Hayman, addressed the people, and also requested Mr. - Ingle to remove the cause of the ill=fecling expressed at his appearance. Mr. Ingle treated the request with indifference, upon which a Mr. B. Hill addressed him in no measured terms, and insisted on his leaving the pulpit. The mayor at length arrived, and shortly afterwards the superintendent of the police and several constables. The Rev. Chancellor Harrington and the Venerable Archdeacon Bartholomew also arrived. The mayor enforced silence, and, after admonishing :die people, requested the clergyman to leave the pulpit for a few minutes, and to speak to him in the vestry. Mr. Ingle treated the mayor's request with the same disrespect he had the other remonstrances addressed to him. He refused to comply, and took advantage of the temporary lull to give out his text and proceed with his discourse, the matter of which was supplied from the recentpolitical events in Paris and Ireland. At its conclusion he de clined the advice of the mayor to retire to hislome by a private way into Longbrook-street. Further evils were, however, averted by his 'friends carrying him Off by the way the mayor proposed. The damage dune to the interior of the church is said to be very considerable. THE JUBILEE OTTHE CHU;;CH MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. On Wednesday, the. Archbishop of Canterbury preached 'the commemoration sermon to a crowded congregation in St. Ann's Church, Elackfriars, from Prov. xxiv. 11, 12, " If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain ;if thou sayest, Behold we know it not,—doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it ? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it ? and shall not he render to every man accord ing to his works ?" His grace, in a mpst impressive ser mon, set forth the duty which God had devolved upon his peeple to promote the spread of his word, and to advance the glory. of his kingdom ; and showed, in forcible lan guage, the sin which men committed against Gad, by suf fering a spirit of indifference towards their fellow-men to govern and control their actions. He warned his hearers against such a course; and contrasted the apathy and in difference of men without God, with the zeal and love to their fellow-men displayed by those who had received the light of the gospel. He considered that England had been especially singled out by God as the great source of missionary labour, and therefore the greater would be the offence against him, if they neglected to obey his com mand. _ The metropolitan jubilee meeting of the society was held at Exeter-hall on Wednesday, and was very well at tended, the entire hall being filled with a most respectable audience, a large proportion of whom were ladies. The Earl of Chichester was in the.chair, and beside him on the platform were the Bishop (,f Oxford, Lord Glenelg, Lord Teignmouth, Sir R. H. Inglis, M.P., Archdeacon Dealtry, of Calcutta, Admiral H. Hope, &c. The speeches gave full expression of gratitude for the success which had attended the efforts of the society. In York Cathedral, the sermon was preached by the Archbishop of York. The Bishop of London preached in Bloomsbury Church—the Bishops of Winchester, Sa lisbury, Oxford, Norwich, St. Asaph, &c., in the cathe drals of their respective cities. In Manchester twenty one churches were open, and twenty-one sermons were preached by as many different clergymen. The number preached in London on Wednesday we cannot arrive at : in the parish of Pancras alone there were nine. In Cam bridge, Oxford, Birmingham, and other towns, every pul pit was occupied with the subject. Mr. Dale preached on the subject at St. Paul's Cathedral, on Sunday week, to nearly three thousand people. The receipts of the Hull auxiliary, at this jubilee, exceed £5OO. In Doncaster about £3OO were received. At Bir mingham, the Rev. J. A. James, dissenting minister, made the jubilee the subject of a very earnest prayer in his congregation. At Birkenhead, special services took place on Wednes day in the various churches in the morning, and in the evening a meeting was held in the Craven-rooms, at which the Rev. Andrew Knox presided, when the benefit conferred on the heathen by the society, since its esta blishment, were vividly brought before the assembly. On Wednesday morning the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered in many of the churches of this town, and in the evening prayer meetings were held to supplicate the divine blessing on the labours of the society. On Thursday evening sermons were preached in nearly all our churches, the services being postponed from the previous day, in aonsdquence of the municipal elections then taking place. The following amounts were collected at the various churches in this town on the occasion : £ s. d. Collegiate Meeting (Juvenile) 8 n 9 St. Andrew's Church. St. John's. St. George's, Everton St. Paul's, Prince's Park 5O 19 9 St. Augustine's St. Bride's St. Barnabas* St. Clement's 7 3 0 Mariners'.. Seaforth St. John the Baptist's St. Jude's St. Simon's Wavertree St. Luke's St. Anne's, Stanley 8 0 0 St. John the Evangelist's . St. James's St. James's, West Derby St. Mary's, Edge-bill St. Michael's St. Silas's . St. Thomas's, Warwick-street Collegiate Meeting . The occasion was improved at several other churches in the town, but no collections were made. Amongst these were St. Mark's, St. Paul's, St. Bartholomew's, St. David's, Christ Church, and St. Mary's, Kirkdale. CHURCH MISSIONARY JUBILEE FUND.—We are gra tified to learn that the handsome sum of £l3 19s. was collected in Prescot Church, on Sunday last, in aid of the above fund, liter sermons preached on the occasion, which, together with a sum of 9s. Old., the contents of a missionary box kindly forwarded from Miss Lucas, of Long-street, Prescot, makes the sum of £l4 Ss. Old. to be added to, we trust, numerous other contributions from different parts of the world, in aid of the same benevolent object. JUVENILE MEETING IN LIVERPOOL. A meeting of the young members and friends of the Church Missionary Society was held in the Lecture-hall of the Collegiate Institution, in this town, on Wednes day last ' • Adam Hodgson, Esq., in the chair. About three thousand were present, consisting of young people of all ages, with a sprinkling of adults of more advanced age. The speakers selected by the com mittee to address the meeting were the Rev. Herbert Jones, Incumbent of St. Augustine's, the Rev. David James, Incumbent of St. Mary's, Kirkdale, and the Rev. Henry Higgins, Minister of St. John the Evangelist's. In the absence of other resolutions, the Rev. D. James surprised the meeting by moving, at the close of his speech, the following Resolution : " That this meeting desires most dutifully to express its conviction that the consent of her gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, to become the patron of the Church Missionary Society in the year of its jubilee, would not only render the jubilee memorable and joyful, but give additional impulse to missionary enterprise at home and throughout the world : and that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury be requested to lay this before her Majesty at his earliest convenience." . This proposition, which was seconded by Dr. Carpenter, of St. Jude's, was enthusiastically received by the meet ing, and without being formally put from the chair, was carried by rounds of applause which occupied several minutes. It appears, from the laws and regulations of the society, that the office of patron has been '` reserved for such members of the Royal Family as may honour it with their protection." At no period in the history of the society could such a request as the one contained in the resolution be submit ted to her Majesty with better prospects of success than at the present. And her Majesty's acceptance, at this time, of the office which has been kept vacant for royalty for fifty years, would indeed contribute to render the society's jubilee memorable and joyful. His Royal High ness Prince Albert is already a life governor of the society. The resolution will be communicated to the Archbishop of Canterbury and to the committee of the Parent Society, in London, to be dealt with as they may, after mature deliberation, think fit. The subject is one well worthy of their best attention. THE JUBILEE MEETING LAST SIGHT. This interesting meeting was held last night, in the Theatre of the Collegiate Institution, which was most inconveniently crowded in every part by a highly respec table and attentive auditory. This fact, indeed, we may fairly plead in excuse for any imperfection in our report ; for it was with the utmost difficulty we could manage to take a note of some of the speeches delivered, such was the crush even upon the platform. Neither can we give anything like a list of the clergy and other influential gentlemen present. To do so would be to transcribe the name of nearly every clergyman of the town and neigh bourhood. A few minutes after half-past six o'clock, the Bishop of Chester, who was announced to take the chair, arrived in company with his Worship the Mayor, and proceeded, with the committee and a numerous cortege, to the plat ' form, where he was received with hearty cheering. On his left, in front of the platform, we observed the Rev. Canon M`Neile, the Rev. John Jones, and two or three other gentlemen ; and on his right, the Mayor, the Rev. Robert Davies, and the Rev. W. Withers Ew bank. The latter gentleman arrived after the Bishop and other gentlemen had taken their seats, and was received with hearty congratulations, as was the Rev. Canon M`Neile, who entered almost immediately after the Right Rev. Prelate. It will be seen that his 'Lordship alluded in his speedh with Christian delicacy and affection to the difference which had occurred between these twos reverend gentlemen. The allusion was received with the most cordial satisfaction by the meeting. Indeed., the whole proceedings were marked by the greatest display of en thusiasm ,1 and zealous feeling we ever witnessed on a si milar or on any other occasion-. The meeting having been opened with prayer, His LORDSHIP proceeded to address the meeting nearly as follows :—My Christian friends,—lt is a very great 'gratification to me to see this very numerous assem blap—a gratification, but still no surprise; the occasion accounts for the fullness of the attendance. If this were an ordinary meeting of the Church Missionary Society, it'would naturally draw together many friends of mis sionary enterprise—it would naturally have attraction for lild those who in sincerity of heart seek to promote the glory of God and the welfare of man. But, my friends, this is more than an ordinary occasion •, we are met to , celebrate the fiftieth anniversary—the jubilee of the soci ety—a memorable epoch in its history, and, I might also say, in all missionary enterprise. (Hear, hear.) During the period of its existence‘it has gone on with advancing success, and, notwithstanding the difficulties it has had to contend with. its success must cause joy to every heart and great thankfulness to Almighty God. (Hear, hear.) But if compared prospectively with the extent of the field of labour and the magnitude of the work remaining to be accomplished, its success is so limited as to wish for the most ardent, renewed, redoubled, multitudinous exertions. I have spoken of the extent of the field of labour. What extent does that embrace—even if we take no larger a view than the boundaries of our own territorial empire. If we look to India alone—an immense population, I be : lieve not less than sixty-five millions of human beings, all immersed in the deepest darkness of human ignorance. Idolatry prevails there far and wide in its most odious and rueful forms, combining everything; that can degrade man or corrupt his heart; and yet they are men of same nature as ourselves, subjects of the same government, na turally looking at our hands for the light of civilisation, and still more for the light of the glorious and everlasting Gospel. They are entitled to this by every principle of justice, by every debt of Christian duty and Christian love. They have never known their own want or proper duties. (Hear. hear.) Our efforts until lately have been feeble and languid, and their conversion has been slow ; but however slow, the progress of truth is certain, and the ultimate triumph of Christ's Gospel is as sure as God's unfailing word. (Loud cheers.) It may be a distant day, but gradually the day will come, when the light of Christianity will o v e rs p read the whole of our Indian empire—nay the whole world, and if it should please God to make England the happy cause of this, what a bright and glorious page will it form in her history. (Applause.) In many points of view England has many reasons for thankfulness—so far as respects civilization, even in India itself, she may well exult that her banners wave over the hard fought field— , and better still that she has established justice, virtue, and piety. (Loud cheers.) And it will be a better theme of joy when India shall look to England not merely as her governor—not merely as her conqueror—but as the source from whom she has derived the blessings of light and truth, and the salvation of the gospel. (Hear, hear.) I have spoken of India—l might speak of other places in no less stirring themes—l might speak of the West Indies where until lately the population was in a state of slavery, but now liberty prevails, and still more the liberty with which Christ has made them free. (Applause.) I might speak of China, long barred against o'er interests, but now at length unbarring its long closed gates. I might even speak of the vast continent of Africa 'itself, where as yet the traveller can scarcely pursue his way with safety and security—l might speak of those places, but were I to do so 1 should occupy an undue portion of your time, and what is more I should most probably interfere with views and sentiments which will be urged upon your attention by the clergymen pre sent. I will not therefore enter upon so wide and discur sive a theme, but I will ;say one thing applicable to the place—the town in which we are now met. You may well feel that kind of pride which is permitted to man, of the town in which you live. It is one of the greatest, most opulent, and most populous in the kingdom. Its greatness is the type of the greatness of England. Your port sends forth its vessels to every quarter of the globe. My friends let not worldly goods be the only trea sure with which they are freighted. Let some of them carry the Word of God and the Missionaries of Christ. Prosperous be your trade—prosperous be they in their voyage— laden with wealth may they return. Before I sit down pardon me if I add another word. We are met together here to unite our humble efforts for the service and glory of Gad, by furthering the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. What is the Gospel but a message of peace. It is in the spirit of peace that we must seek to further its spirit if we hope for God's bless ing upon our labours. (Hear, hear.) My brethren, it may be that many with their hearts d ee p l y en g a g ed in endeavouring to promote God's glory, and man's welfare, may yet sometimes differ, not as to the object, for in that they are heart and soul agreed, but as to the particular form and manner in which the object has to be carried out. Such differences may from time to time arise among the best of men—possibly something of that kind may have arisen very lately among ourselves, but I am sure it is a joy to my heart ; it will be joy to every Christian heart, and to all this vast assemblage I see around me, when I say that if there has been for a moment such misunderstand ing, it has been cleared up and reconciled. (Continued cheers for some time.) The harmony for a moment in terrupted has been restored, and the cloud has passed away, and I hail with joy the applause I have now been greeted with far more than ever I hailed it before, be cause I believe it rather intended for those to whom I have alluded than for me. and that the reconciliation of the slight interruption which had taken place has found an echo in the hearts of all. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. ROBERT DAVIES commenced by explaining the circumstances under which he had been induced to address the meeting. As an aged minister who had been connected with the society for thirty-six years, he was proud to have the privilege of declaring his undiminished confidence in its value. A jubilee of such a society as this was an interesting object to contemplate, especially for one who was able to trace its growth from its distant' source. The rev. gentleman gave many interesting inci dents as illustrating the prospects and aspect of the society fifty years ago. Then. the difficulties appeared intermin able ; but they had now the encouragement to be derived from looking back at what they had overcome. lie pro ceeded to trace in detail the society's progress, and to compare its early position with the present one, and com batted an objection which had been urged against the Church Missionary Society, and still entertained by some individuals, that it interfered with the operations of other societies, shewing that these, as Well as their own, had largely increased in the extent of their opera tions. Great as had been the success of their efforts, they had still much to do ; and he exhorted then, urgently to increase their exertions to meet the magnitude of the task before them, reminding them lof God's promise that the time should come when all should know Him. The Rev. JOHN JONES referred humourously to the extent to which his friend, Mr. Davies, had monopolized the whole subject. He should confine himself to an at tempt to paint the portrait of this venerable society, as they might now call her, for she was in her fiftieth year; and he was sure that when it should be presented to them, its beauty would be acknowledged. The rev. gentleman 'proceeded to give a chronological detail of the growth of the society from its first formation at the close of the last century, and a list of the eminent men, both clerical and laical, who had been connected with it. The first beginnings were discouraging. The hierarchy of the church did not appear to see their way clearly with respect to it ; they were afraid that its pro ceedings might not be kept within the paths of the church ; but those to whom he alluded told them to go on, and bade God bless them. The society formed its first station at Sierra Leone, to which they confined themselves for ten years; at the end of that period more zeal was animated, and they formed a mission at Madras, and next year at New Zealand,—a station which had produced most important results. Calcutta was their next mission, the next Ceylon, and two years afterwards at Bombay, whence the society passed with a giant stride to North America, and next to Guiana, Jamaica, and to the shores of the Mediterranean. For fifteen years the society paused ; but in 1842 she passed to Eastern Africa, and in 1844 to China, where she has now three stations. If they could look forward to another jubilee, what might they not expect in that country ? He stated, how ever, that they were crippled for want of money—that other communities were getting before them, and, alas ! amongst them the idolatrous Church of Rome. Their twelfth mission ;vas to Malaga. The rev. gentleman re marked in very eloquent terms upon the judgment with which the society had been conducted, and the blessings with which its efforts had been rewarded; and concluded an eloquent appeal for support, amidst much applause. The Rev. W. W. EWBANK, who was warmly received by the meeting, commenced by expressing his sense of the kindness which he had experienced from his lordship, when he was an undergraduate at the College at Cam bridge, over which his lordship presided. He was also anxious to thank his lordship for the latter portion of his speech, in which he mentioned an unfortunate subject which bad recently occurred and created an appear ance of seism amongst them. He could assure them that this was completely healed ; and be was fully prepared, as all men may be at times, to rest under any blame which might be attached to his conduct on the unfortunate occasion. The reverend gentlema n proceeded to deliver an eloquent speech, in which he ex patiated upon the meaning of the word Jubilee, as applied in scripture, and to show that God himself had worked i n missionary labours. He went on to point out one Phall e this society, viz., that it ; had brought the influence' and gospel to bear upon men in all grades of barba - ' it had never failed to produce healing and civilizing effects.,. The Rev. FRED. BARKER then addressed the meeting in suitable terms. The Rev. F. PARRY then briefly addressed the meeting - The Rev Rev. Dr. M`Neree then rose and was received with loud cheers. He commenced by returning his sincere: thanks to his lordship for the affectionate kindness with which he had been pleased to allude to a difference which had unhappily arisen between two of his clergy. His respected friend (Mr. Ewbank) had alluded to it, and so. far well; but the enemies of true religion al wa y s rejoiced at any inadvertence which took place among Christian men—the . enemies of true religion. ha& rejoiced on this occasion, both publicly and privately in letters and in newspapers, and in doing so had paid to the clergy a very high compliment. (Hear.) He no w appealed to those persons, to their common honesty and candour, that an event of equal publicity arising in ant hall should meet with equal publicity at their honds—ha meant this, that the Rev. Mr. Ewbank and himself, after an explanation kindly made, shook hands with each otherort Saturday, and prayed for one another in secret yesterday. He hoped if there were any mistaken friends present who,. through mistaken friendship, had attempted to foster peisonalities where none such existed, that they would stand that night deeply rebuked ; and he also hoped that if there had been any attempt to make a party of English clergy against Irish clergy, that alf-such attempts (cheers' s ; would be at an end. It was the United Church of Eng.. - land and Ireland (continued cheers) ; and if they didenet complain that English clergymen .had good livings on. I.he other side of the channel; why. should. there be any complaint that the Irish clergy had hard work in this country ? (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Syr then he hoped good would come cut of the matter, and' no more would be heard of such pettiness, for be could call it nothing else. (Hear, hear.) How ever, with regard to the subject before the meeting, One of the diseases of our fallen nature, which it is the express aim and design of Christianity to heal, is that insulated and insulating selfishness, which prompts every man to seek his own things, without any brotherly con sideration of the things of others. Upon this point, the example of our Lord Jesus Christ himself is brought to bear with the greatest earnestness by the Holy Spirit.. He is presented to us as a Missionary of. inn-- nite condescension and self-denial, leaving the happi ness of his Father's house, and all the glories of his heavenly home, humbling himself to the condition of beet and ruined man, clothing himself in the likeness of sinful flesh, exposing himself to the contradictions of sinnere r the mirepresentations, rejections, and persecutions of the ungrateful, the stubborn, the hard hearted: enduring the noxious pestilence of surrounding impurity, out of high disinterested compassion and love towards the impure never becoming in the slightest degree congenial to the foul atmosphere around him, so as to experience any abatement of suffering in it ; and never allowing the in tensity of his sufferings to deter or interrupt him in leis mission of saving mercy. With express reference to-this branch of the Saviour's character, St. .Paul says, "Let this mind be in you-that was in Christ Jesus." In you his disciples—in you who have received much, and from whom much is therefore and reasonably expected. To whom on earth can this be addressed with moc force, than to us of this nation ? Much has, indeed,. been done for us. The glorious gos p e l was sent to us in the earliest ages of its propagation. Our forefathers were delivered from the grass. idolatries and debasing impurities of heathenism. Yet not all at once. Patient missionary toil was necessary ; and had missionary journals been written in those days and trans mitted to posterity, we would doubtless now read of some such hopeful instances of conversion in Britain on a small scale, as we read of in India or China. In due time, however, idolatry was banished, and Christianity became the religion of our favoured country. And when that Christianity was. corrupted, debased, overlaid, and disfigured by a re-intro duction of heathen practices under Christian names : again it pleased God to favour our land, by a reformation, which,. based on Christianity, and following the primitive prate- . tice of the church, delivered us from the Antichristiaa abuses, and Antichristian usurpations of apostate Rome. Rome was not to be shaken off without a struggle. Deep and deadly was that struggle—long-continued also, and fre quently renewed. We have just been engaged in a thankfa commemoration of what ourchurch most justly calls "great deliverances"—a subject mostappropriate to our Missionary Jubilee—for wherever our missions have been, or of what character. wehave not lost our Protestantism. The intended massacre of our Protestant King and rulers was mercifully prevented, and the reformed religion mercifully preserved. And when a subsequent king himself attempted to de prive us of this blessing, when the royal preregative wa.s abused, by an exercise of dispensing power against the laws, we were mercifully kept from the danger. The rev. gentleman then gave a condensed account of the Gunpowder Plot, and of the landing of the Prince of Orange, and proceeded :—lt is well to review and appreciate these blessings, for Christian blessing duly viewed will be be found the true mainspring of christian duty cheerfully performed. Our duty in this matter is clear. Let the mind be in us, which was in Christ, the unselfish mind, the expansive, beneficent, self-sacrificing mind, which seeks the good, especially the - eternal good of others. Means must be used. The vehicle of Christian blessedness entrusted to us, is the Divine Word. To us is the Word of this salvation sent, and by us is the same word to be sounded out. The Gospel is not a demand for work tote done, but glad tidings of work already done. Nosatisfaction for sin is everto be made beyond what has been made. No justifying righteousness is ever to be wrought, beyond what has been wrought. The preparation of the Gospel' was the Lord's work, his own, and only his. The proem- . gation of it was not only his, but ours also. With this we are entrusted ; we are ambassadors for Christ. We have every encouragement to persevere. We are not left to a bare sense of duty however high. This ought, indeed,. to be sufficient, independent of any success. But ourinfr mities require the secondary inducements to be derived from sonic apparent progress. And we have been indulged. A great blessing has been vouchsafed upon the work in ear hands. You have already heard interesting particulars. Our missionary publications abound with such. 139 , missionaries, of whom nine are natives ; 1,342 male and female teachers, of whom 1,268 are natives ; in Weee. tern Africa 7,000 Christian worshippers, and above 2,000 communicants; in New Zealand 5,000 communicants.; In India, 30,000 under Christian instruction. When we talk of converts, we do not mean persons entrapped by fraud under the supposed but delusive charm of some out ward ordinance, as if the opus operatum could cleanse the heart. No, we make no such converts as Mr. Wilk's describes the Popish missionary making, or rather gine their own account of their absurd and treacherous opera tions. The reverend gentleman then proceeded with a very eloquent speech, which we could not possibly repnet further. He sat down much applauded. Mr.- S. HOLME proposed a vote of thanks to the Lord Bishop, and also to his Worship the Mayor, for lending their influence to the meeting, which was immediately carried by acclamation. His LORDSHIP, in feeling terms, acknowledged the compliment. His first duty in Liverpool had been a very pleasing one—that of preaching for the Blind Asylum— his secynd the most pleasing he had ever performed, that of consecrating a church, erected by the worthy chief magistrate and his friends, and his third, presiding over that meeting, for which he felt deeply grateful for the gratification they had afforded him. (Cheers.) The MAYOR also briefly acknowledged the compliment,. and his Lordship having delivered the Apostolic bene diction, the meeting separated at half-past ten. SERIOUS FIRE LAST NIGHT. At about half-past eight o'clock last night, an alarm of fire was given in Castle-street, and in a few minutes after the neighbourhood around was illuminated with a fierce blaze, the roof of the building having fallen in, and the dome of the Town-hall, and other lofty buildings, reflect ing the lurid light. The locality in which it occurred is a. narrow court, called Swift's-court, and is surrounded with a mass of most valuable property, consisting of offices, warehouses, shops, &e. Mr. Hewitt with a portion of his fire brigade, with ra powerful engine, ladders, &c., were promptly on the spot; and by the most active exertions the fire was soon got under, with the loss only of the roof and top room of the premises, which we believe was occupied as a printing office. This is the most fortunate saving ever effected in our town,even by our indefatigable superintend ent; for, as the wind was blowing a gale at the time it is impossible in such a spot to estimate the destructiou which might have ensued. The Lord Bishop of Down and Connor died on, Thursday. ANOTHER MARINE STORE DEALER HAULED UP.— Yesterday, a marine store dealer Thomas Postlethwaites, whose place is in Brownlow-hill, and a man named Pritchard, were brought before Mr. Rushton on a charge of stealing, on Saturday, a quantity of lead. Pritcharit was observed bargaining with the other for the sale of the lead, and both were taken into custody. Pritchard w-a sent to gaol for three months, and the store-keeper for two months, and to forfeit his license. THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.—On Sunday last, the say vice appointed for the church ( with scriptural propriety) for the fifth of November, was used in many of the churches of this town, and the attention of the various: congregations was directed with much solemnity and effect to the two merciful deliverances vouchsafed on that day to our church and country. It was refreshing, in these days of expediency and infidelity, to hear a Pro testant note " sounded out," with such truthfulness an& zeal, from so many pulpits of our Christian church. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S FUND ACT.—A meeting of mas ters and seamen was held last night at the Portico, New ington, to adopt a petition to parliament, praying for. au alteration in the present mode of managing and distribut ing this fund. Mr. Pemberton, of Duke-street, was cared , to the chair, and pointed out the injustice of the tinction made in the act between those men who cletl. a natural death and those whose death occurred, as in the. words of the act, from being "killed, slain, or drowned P' —the widows of those only obtaining the contributio.i. CONVICTION OF A FRAUDULENT EMIGRATION AGENIT.. —At the Leeds Borough Sessions, a few days since, I!, young man, named Walker, was convicted of having, by false pretences, on two different occasions, received tk sums of 2s. and £2 from John Verity, on pretence n procuring him a free passage to Australia. The prisonez''s - on Nov. 1&.- counsel then handed to the court a number of letters. which the assistant recorder (Robert Hall, Esq.,) sa ki would assist the Governivent in tracing out a system to 16+ minutes fraud, the extent and d.nger of which no one could bale dreamt of. Walker vas sentenced to be imprisoned a E e Of these hours 136+ were after midnight. The k tlo e , p liot‘ t ni;_ t . hLp l iA a . o r :r d zso, l , a bs, b teti io,onusngir,oroNoonri.._tt Sept.
