His inducement to take this step, we believe, was based upon the statements con tained in some able letters from Ireland. by the Rev. Alexander Dallas, published in the Herald, in which it was represented that the masses Wonting vas desirable spect to Scriptural matters, should be promptly met. There was no intention ngs of gra- It in the y, whose the people of Ireland lnlated famine, )undant; but, in the effort to detect imposture, you may over-look the claims of the really deserving.

On the contrary the movement of Mr. Bickersteth and his clerical friem was en- tirely unconnected with any temporal question ; and related merely to the carrying out, with greater energy, of a work, which has been long in progress, and for the completion or advancement of which the present movement, irrespective of any scarcity or famine, bad been pointed out to them as most auspicious But putting asic this true ye: curnstanees, upon which Lord Bra sion of the cir bam has based in their working, would have a more absolute tendency than aught else that could be devised to mitigate the general visitation." Most cordially we assent to the recommendation of the Times, that the clergy should bestow their efforts in this direction. There can be no doubt that much may be done by the exercise of economy to increase the available supply of food fnr the people.. We are ourselves under the impression, however, that the scarcity is scarcely so great as it is either represented or imagined to be ; and that large stocks would be brought forward for con sumption if the public would resolutely set their faces against the exactions of dealers and retailers. One week's refusal to consume potatoes, for in stance, at the present exorbitant prices, and the substitution for them of some other description of food would startle those numerous parties through out the country, who are keeping their supplies closed up in their pits in the expectation of still higher prices, although at the risk of finding them when opened, decayed and unfit for human food. The dearest thing which the poor man can set be fore his family at the present moment is a meal of potatoes; and if the Wealthy and the mic would for a time abjure the use of this root, we should very shortly see its price more closely ap proaching its small intrinsic value as human food. There are abundance of substitutes to be found, the use of which only require to be tried in order to he appreciated by those who at present have imbibed the notion that a dinner without potatoes is only half a meal. WORKING OF THE ALBERT DOCK FOR JANUARY The prevalence of adverse winds during the past month has kept this, along with our other docks, bare of vessels; and it was not until the 27th ult. that we had any material business doing. Since that date, however, the dock has been very actively at work, and a large amount of business has been got through. An instance of amazing dispatch occurred on Saturday last, in the case of the latherland, 305 tons register, from China. This vessel entered the th the forenoon tic By five o'clock she was finished of tea, 650 bales silk, 100 do Inded 3298 chest; the short space of 54 hours, inclusive of lunch time. Another instance of dispatch was the Chimera, 125 tons, which commenced dischrrging on the 27th, and finished on the 28th, occupying only 12 hours. The cargo' dis charged consisted of 88 butts, 87 carotels, and 40 brls. of currants, and 286 pieces of fustic. The total tonnage which has entered the dock during the month, is 30 vessels, 12,040 tons, the bulk of which has come in within the WHAT WILL LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S NEW POOR LAW n r OR IRELAND. The objection which urged against this proposed owners of property in'lreland to support their own poor; is forcibly illustrated by some recent proceedings in the Castlebar Union. It will be remembered, as having been stated in Parliament, that although the workhouse in this Union is capable of holding 600 inmates, only 106 could be admitted, owing to the want of sufficient funds to sup port its full complement. On Saturday week, we are told the guardians met to take into consideration the bankrupt state of the Union ; Mr. Otway, the assistant-commis sioner, was present, and in very f ►rcible language urged the guard' t- " to raise - _ _unis to s ~:e a rate by winch a sum, sum to enable them to receive GOO paupers, the number it was erected to contain. On a division it was found that 13 voted against, and only 3 tor the new rate. In the and Sir Roger Palmer " After the guardians (says the Telegraph) had decided on not striking a new rate, or to levy funds for the sup port of the poor, Mr. Otway pressed upon them the actual necessity of arranging for the support of the 106 paupers in the house. They, however, made no arrangement, trusting, as they stated, that the collector would be ena bled to collect sufficient funds to procure food for the weekly support of the pauper inmates. This, however, is a very precarious provision, for the collector declared he would not undertake to collect unless protected by the military and civil power." Conduct so heartless as this, persisted in, too, in the face of very strong remonstrances addressed to the guar dians by the poor-law commissioners, ought to be proof enough that a poor-law in Ireland. to be of any use, must be compulsory in its provisions. These Castlebar gentry, under Lord John's proposed measure, would be "per mitted" to give out-door as well as in-door relief to their poor. The scope of their benevolence would be "per mitted" to extend itself. But the inclination to fulfil even their present limited duties is clearly wanting. The present awful destitution of the country is insufficient to unlock their hearts ; and the ministerial permission to be just, will, in their case, remain a dead letter. On Sunday morning last, after a sermon by the Rev. J. Martineau, the sum of £438 was collected at the Uni tarian Chapel, Paradise-street, for the relief of the dis tressed Irish. _ _ Fence if efforts to years past Irish peas roselytise were really being b" ?

They find little of these funds forthcoming in the hour of trial, and their own priesthood,to whom they have been taught to look up as to something little less potent than their God, powerless for their extri cation from suffering and the horrors of famine. And as they glance from their own wretched state to the comparative comfort of the flocks of the Protestant clergy, to whom such exactions do not extend, they are led to inquire, and,. as the result of such inquiry to suspect, that there must be something rotten in a system, which in their own, as in every country throughout the globe, steeps the masses of the population in ignorance, poverty, and crime. THE WEATHER.—On Tuesday night, we were visited in this neighbourhood with rather a severe storm of wind. A great deal of rain fell , on Wednesday and Thursday. From Friday morning up to Sunday night the weather was clear and frosty. About nine o'clock on Sunday night sleet commenced falling thickly, and yesterday morning the ground was covered with snow ?cveral inches thick. It will, however, quickly disappear, as a thaw soon after set in.

Shortly before eleven o'clock on Sunday night, deceased was brought home to Roscoe-lane, much intoxicated, and unable to walk. He was carried up stairs, and placed on the floor, with a pillow put under his head. About six o'clock yesterday morning, he was found quite dead. Deceased was a hard drinker, and had on Sunday evening taken ale and rum in large quantities. Verdict,—" Died from excessive drinking." ROBBERY FROM A SHOP. A smart-looking well dressed young man, named James Reece, was yesterday charged at the Police-court with sundry robberies from the shop of Mr. Briscoe, Oldhall-street, who had re cently employed him. It appeared that some suspicion had arisen as to his honesty, and that in order to test it,. two shillings and a: sixpence marked were put on a shelf or recess, at the back of -the counter, where the small sums received were put, until paid over to the cashkeeper. This was missed, and the prisoner's lodgings being searched, and he himself apprehended, the marked money was found,—alsa,, in his box, glovas,, stockings, ribbons, &c., of considerable value. The whole were identified those who set us such an. example ought to be the last to complain if they find it imitated. and he was committed for trial at the present sessions.

He is not favorable to bazaars on general principles, but thinks that in the present emergency, such bazaar stocked with the usual articles, and in addition to them those mentioned, transmitted from Ireland by a committee, would result in raising a large sum.

THE LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY CHURCH PAS TORAL A ID SOCIETY. The seventh anniversary of this excellent society was held yesterday evening, in tbe haftof the Collegiate Insti tution. Though the weather was rather unfavourable, the attendance was numerous and highly respectable. Amongst those on the platform, we observed the Rev. Chancellor Railies, chairman • the Revds. J. Haslegrave, and A. P. Irwine, (a deputation from the parent society,) and we may say nearly all the clergy of the town and neighbourhood. • • The proceedings .having been opened with prayer by the Rev. C. W. Lawrence, The CHAIRMAN . proceeded to address the meeting. He said it would hardly be necessary for him to trespass upon them for any length of time, in explanation of the objects of the society they were met that evening to sup port ; but he might trespass for a moment, with the view of stating the reasons why he occupied the chair on that occasion. There were reasons which would have rendered it desirable that he should not come there that evening ; and there were reasons why he might have requested that some of the laity of Liverpool would have had the kind ness to occupy that place. But he did really feel that this was a society on behalf of which the clergy were bound to come for Ward, and to express their gratitude for the aid afforded ; and as the representative of the clergy, he desired to stand forward on that occasion, and when ever else he might have th e o ppo r tu n ity, t o express the gratitude the clergy felt . for the important services rends ;d through the medium of this sckiety. But there was a pressing claim for gratitude likewise, not from one part of the community, but from all who had the best in terests of religion at heart, to Him who was " the author )f r - trr ...ift" that He should h -, t int- _ we.. pea g.._ nave put it ,o the heart of good men to form the simple, yet well adapted scheme which we had embodied in this society. It was, perhaps, hardly possible to conceive that help could have been given so effectually, and yet so economically as it was at this moment administered through the medium of this society, a society established at a period when the church most required assistance. (Hear.) Any helps given to its funds might be considered doubly valuable by the certainty that every pound given went to form the efficiency of the church on the points most important to us all. The state of things at present was unquestion- ably critical. Attached as he was, and must be to the church as by law established, he should only be expr3ssing the sentiments of those around him, when he said, that for the sake of the country at large, it was most desirable on all hands that the Established Church should stand. (Applause.) While the church stood, the country would stand. (Loud cheers.) If it fell oosened, and the very blow that caused the destruction of the church would cause the dis organisation of society also. (Loud cheers.) He, there fore, thought that every layman and clergyman might be appropriately appealed to to contribute towards the sup port of this society, which had such important objects in view, and which accomplished those ajects by a system of administration so simple and so effectual, that it was hardly possible to conceive that such an admirable plan ler woulc joi . - ced to see so many friends around him, because he knew the meeting would hear from them statements ema- nating from the fullness of their hearts, for they had' seen the Church's energies strengthened awl refreshed by the the society only required to be properly understood, in order to be more importantly supported. Ile was parti cularly struck with this fact. the other day, for, after the excellent clerical secretary of the society had preached a sermon in a country church, the congregation came away astonished, saying they could not conceive that such destitution existed in the church, nor had they an idea there was such an agency at work to redeem that destitution ; and if he (the Chancellor) were to judge of the effect p-odueed upon that single congregation, he would say that if sermons were preached in every church and every parish, and if the claims of the society were properly urged, the funds would be greatly increased, and every churchman would rejoice to contribute to a society that strengthened so effectually the church's energies, and contributed so much to the extension of true relig on throughout the land.—(Applause. ( The Rev. Mr. LAWRENCE here read the report, of which the following is an abstract : The report of the committee congratulated the friends of the society on the substantial addition to the returns which they had been permitted to send from the Liver pool Auxiliary to the Parent Society, as compared with the remittance of past years. Exclusive of toe special contribution of about £3OO, collected at the commence ment of the year, there has been transmitted about £BOO, while the previous year's remittance was considerably un der £6OO. The committee believe that the object to be pursued by the society is not diminished—population does not stand still—the state of thousands of immortal souls is not less dreadful than at the commencement of the opera tions of the society—the aggressions of popery are not less vehement—the strong currents of profligacy have not ceased to run in our large towns—the state of the country is not less critical. The committee, however, hope that new resources are flowing in upon the society, and that there is a tendency in the remedies to increase simul taleously, if not equally, with the evils which are to be corrected. The report notices the noble increase in the funds of the society at large, as indicating a growing con fidence in the country in the principles of the society, and then enumerates the society's activities among ourselves; thirteen churches in this town receive, in different sums, nearly £1101), anti the committee hope that the auxiliary will follow the good example which one of the branches has set, in paying back, with handsome interest, the sum which the society dispenses among us. In one district here, in consequence of the well-timed assistance of the society, we are told of that happy symptom of ministerial success and spiritual life, viz. of a complaint beginninc , to be made by the poor of a want of room, and as a col lateral result, ragged schools have been set up as being sorrowfully suitable to the poor and vicious population. Elsewhere, the vigour infused into the clerical ministra tions by a grant, has enabled an indefatigable minister to cultivate an outpost previously beyond his reach, and a Sunday lecture among the servants and followers of the railroad has been established, which appears to be both effective and acceptable. The progressive erection of another handsome and spacious temple for the worship of the Lord in a third district., is another speaking testimony to the value of the society. More need not be stated; and the committee believe, that this town with its minis ters, is only.a sample of the society's results, and of the exertions of the ministers of the Lord in other localities. After a delightful expression of humble confidence in the blessing of Almighty God on the labours of the society and a feeling allusion to the endurance and privations of the poor, the re port goes on to say, that though it is a time when adversity will foster sullen discontents, the offsprings of disasters, the parents of crime, it is a satisfaction to know that the sweet sedatives of God's truth and Christian ex ample are at work in many districts, to disarm sorrow of its sullenness, and tunt the curse into blessing. The Re port cOncludes by reminding- the friends of the society how much remains to be done.. The Committee feel that they are at present dealing only with the skirts of the field which they essay to cultivate, that the light which is kindled in many quarters, is so feeble and glimmering, that it serves but to show the extent and depth of the surrounding darkness. But what has been done at least may serve to show what can be accomplished by, pains and prayers. Tim Rev. JOHN JONES, of St. Andrews, moved the adoption of the report. He commenced by declaring his continued attachment to this most excellent society. This, he said, was a changing world, and people's ideas of things were continually varying ; and, therefore, after an interval of a few years it might be well to declare his unabated attachment to the society. He declared pub licly that, so far from his attachment decreosing towards it, it increased every year. The society had now stood the test of about ten years, and it was advancing in use fulness, zeal, devotedness, and the good opinion of the public. He thanked God it was so wisely go verned, so ably directed, and so zealously labouring. He thenrefer74 to the lamentable state of spiritual des .. sunk, and said that Ly supporting this, which was one of the best, if not the bent, Society in the Country, the Christian public were absolutely doing their utmost to promote the efficiency of the Jews' Society, and all the other religious arid charitable societies in existence. The Rev. Mr, HASLEGRAVE, one of the deputation, in seconding the resolution, alluded to the origin of the society, tracing it up to its r- • He gave r rt, position. _ variety of statistits, showing the inadequacy, as a whole of the, present churches throughout the land, with its amazingly increased population, together with the unequal labour that was thrown upon the pastors of different pa rishes and livings, from the unproportioned number of inhabitants in many of them as compared with the duties to be performed. Government had neglected to provide sufficiently for the spiritual wants of our vast community, it was for the people—the faithful—who were the _ Church, and not the clergy alone, to come for Ward and promote gospel truth, by their exemplary conduct,their talents, and the means they could spare, and thus to save the country from demoralization, and defection fro-rn the Church, which was founded on the Word of God. It was true thatlso new Churches had been built on the voluntary. _principle, but, at the same time, 300,000 souls had been added to the population, so that we were from this increase of places of worship no better provided than before. In England and Wales the population increased 4,000 per week,, so that to meet this increase adequately, considering that 2000 persons were as many as one pastorcould attend to, alarge increase of clergymen was required. The motion was carried unanimously. The, ev. Thos. NOLAN, though he laboured under a . severe cold, made a forcible and affecting appeal to the auditory. He stated that he had received a defter from his dear friend and brother the Rev. H., WNeile now in. Ireland, in which he stated that he was amongst the middle of his afflicted countrymen, and could not leave ihem in their distresses—otherwise. he would have been. present. Cheers. He moved a resolution to the effect that thankful as they ought to be for the increase of the funds of the Society, its means were yet inadequate to the wants of those who were spiritually destitute. He in vited attendance at the breakfast in the Concert Hall, Lord Nelson -street, to take place this morning, for the same object, and concluded by saying that one of the greatest recommendations of the Society was the scrupu lous care which they took in selecting pastors who would carry out the principles and formula of the church in all their purity. The Rev. Mr. lawiNE next addressed the meeting in support of the resolution which had been just proposed. He entered into a lengthened statement relative to the vast disproportion which existed between the spiritual wants of the people and the amount of ministerial aid which was then available to supply these pressing wants. He contrasted the numerical state of- the population of this kingdom as it existed previous to the Reformation, and the number of bishops and clergymen who then offici ated, with the population of the present time and the num ber of clergymen who were now in the Established Church, from which it appcnied, that' although the population had been quadrupled, the Ministers of religion had not been increased in anything like the same ratio. After' stating a number o very inter of the operations, and the success of the society, he con cluded by making an ardent and eloquent appeal' to the people of Liverpool on behalf of the society. The Rev. H. HAMPTON proposed the next resolution, and gave a statement of the great and beneficial effects which had flowed to his parish from the assistance he had received from the Pastoral Aid Society. In consequence of the exertions of that society his congregation had been increased to a considerable extent. In fact, he bad been forced to have increased accommodation to the amount of 400 sittings in his church. (Applause.) As the resolu tion was one for the appointment of the officers ;of the society, he would merely propose it, and leave it to be spoken to by the gentleman who was to succeed him. The Rev. J. N lir. ARMYTAGE (one gf the deputation next addressed the meeting in a very lucid and forcible` speech, which VMS listened to throughout with the most marked attention. He concluded by seconding the reso lution. The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously voted to the Chairman, and the meeting was closed with suitable prayers. In the course of the evening a collection was taken up, which was liberally contributed to The fol lowing are the amounts of the collections at the churches mentioned on Sunday last : St. Andrew's St..

The London money market during the week has been affected by the announcement, by Lord John Russell, of his measures for the relief of the existing destitution in Ireland, and the now-ascertained certainty that a large for our imports of brcai stun. For Ireland, sevennni lions is estimated as the amount likely to be required; but that which will have to go towards the payment of foreign grain is not so easily estimated. The Prince Albert, New York liners • from Portsmouth, took out £BO,OOO. £300,000 is said to be the amount already in - mired for by the Boston steamer of the 4th instant, and policieg - bave been effected for a considerat month's steamer. The rate for t he 'ebruary is 305., ng been effected at from Considerable sums are also going to Russia-. itly declined during the week, the closing on Saturday being 918 for money, and 91 for the account. t This condition of the money-market, together with the 15s. to 25s immense quantity of food released by the government measure suspending the Corn and Navigation Laws, have operated to give a check to the speculation going on in bread-stuffs ; and prices have receded in all our markets. The impression seems to be established, that prices have attained their maximum ; and that stocks will be more freely brought forward. In addition, we have the fact that the navigation of the River Hudson is now open, ang certain know ledge that the crops in the United States, ye to come forward, are abundant. Our cotton market in the commencement of the week was depressen and on Wednesday prices were quoted about id. per lb. lower than those of the previous Friday. On Thursday, however, the market rallied, the advices by the Partick Henry, up to the Bth ult., favouring the views of the short crop speculation, and are now fully equal to those of last week. The movement of the crop, up to the sth ult., is given from New York as follows : Vessels Great Britain. Total. Receipts. Stocks. loading 1846-7 152,297 264,619 642,127 360,900 93 1845-6 286,070 396,321 662,347 264,275 75 1844-5 284,045 465,873 798,041 329,650 69 The total sales in Liverpool fOr the week have been 24,600. bales, of which speculators have taken nearly 10,000, leaving about 15,000 for consumption. The im ports have this week considerably exceeded the opera tions, to 43 ; 764 bales. The same gtoona, which we noticed last week, continues to prevail in the Manchester market for manufactured goods ; and anticipations are very general that a bad spring trade, with the contracting condition of the money market, is in prospect. The spinners appear to be carry ing the little business doing at a very serious sacrifice, yarn being marketable at prices little above those realised before the advance in raw material. There is every dan ger of a large amount of machinery, already working half time, having to stop altogether. In our produce markets there is little change to notice. Sugar has slightly declined from the highest rates of last week. In shares there is little doing. LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY At the monthly meeting held last night, at the Royal Institution, Mr. Charles I. Smith, the treasurer of the society, exhibited to the members present a beautiful apparatus for inhaling the vapour of sulphuric rather, which he stated had been kindly lent for the purpose by Mr. William Smith, the eminent dentist of Colquitt street. It consisted of a large flat-bottomed flask, into the ground neck of which was fixed a smaller globular glass vessel, having at the top a.neck fitted with a ground glass stopper, and at the. bottom a tube reaching nearly to the bottom of the larger vessel. The upper vessel was filled with pieces of sponge, saturated with tether, and over the bottom of the lower one there was placed a num ber of pieces of the same substance, similarly saturated. Near the bottom of the lower vessel, a neck was blown, to which was attached a flexible tube, and to the other end of the tube was affixed a mouth-piece, which was very beautifully contrived to fit close round the mouth of the patient. In proximity to the, mouth-piece were fixed two valves, both opening upwards, and acting in such a manner that, during the act of inspiration, the one communicating with the tetherial vapour should open, and during the act of expiration it should close, and the upper one opening at the same instant should allow the air from the lungs to escape freely into the atmos phere, so that at every succeeding inspiration the patient should enhale a quantity of fresh vapour, uncontaminated by that which was previously respired. Mr. Smith stated that he had called upon his friend, the proprietor -of the apparatus before them, for the purpose of witnessing its application, when he not only saw it tried upon two patients, but also experienced its effects upon himself. Neither of the two patients were able to inhale the wther. He (Mr. Smith) then volunteered to inhale it, and in two-and-a-half minutes was in a state of profound insensibility, in which he remained for about two minutes. Mr. Smith then proceeded to point out very clearly the sensations he experienced, having resolved when he commenced imbibing the vapour to mark them. These are extremely interesting, but we cannot tin d room for them until next week. The result of the experiment satisfied him that many persons were unableto inhale the vapour effectually, on account of the irritating effects of its strength applied suddenly to the larynx, trachea, and bronchial tubes, which often occasion coughing, nausea, and other distressing effects. This led him to adopt a modification of the existing plan, which seems to us to render it almost perfect. We will endeavour to do Mr. Smith full justice in our next, as he well deserves it. His valuable information must not be lost. SMALL DEBTS ACT.

Last night Dr. Mackay delivered an address in Great George-street Chapel, detailing the distress in which the Highlands and Islands of Scotland are at present plunged. He said that of 400,000 souls inhabiting the Highlandef about 60,000 are at this moment totally destitute of daily food, and are supplied by charity ; and that number will, in a short time, be doubled. Before next summer arrives the Highlands and Islands of Scotland will contain,. 300,000 totally d e p en d ant upon charity. The failure or the potato crop has been universal through the Higi,land 4 and the whole of Scotland ; and the population of the Highlands and Islands are totally dependent . upon that crop. From 120 districts accounts had been received stating that pot a t oes f ormed seven-eighths of the food o f the people. This calamity has fallen upon a population who are totally destitute of money to buy other food, and who have no resource in their extremity. The popu lation of the Highlands was divided into two classes ; pf cot' ters, paying no rent to the proprietor of the soil, but being permitted to build huts and plant their little patches of pro' tatoes, which furnish them with the means of humble exist' ence throughout the year, and of crofters, or small tenanter paying rents of from ss. to £l2 to the landlords, but raising little more than is sufficient to meet those r ents and their wants. This class too live almost exclusivell upon potatoeS. The loss had come suddenly and unfored seen. The Highlands and Islands never looked brighter and greener than during the past summer; and in maul localities the blight came in a s i ng l e n i g h t. H e had seen fields blackened which a week before were flourishing in luxuriance. The finger of God'was evidently upon them- Themenofscientific attainments, in the pride of theit!know ledgeroverlooked the working of God in this matter. ' (The rev, speaker here detailed the circumstances and extent of distress existing in September in the Island of Mull, scores of whose population Must have perished if not assisted with meal supplied by the committee, and read another letter from a gentleman in one of the islands, stating that in ordinary years the condition of the popu lation is one of detni-starvation.) The crop of the year before last (the reverend gentleman stated) had been 0 most abundant one, and had been sold at high prices. Last year, in consequence, a greater breadth of land had been sown, which, however, had proved a total failure- They had taken -the utmost care, in the distribution of relief, to provide against fraud, and no distinction of sect had been permitted to interfere in their operations. Thel had been endeavouring to get the able-bodied poor to come into the lowlands to procure work ; and now up wards of three hundred were at work on railways and other works, who regularly sent their earnings to 'their families at home. The reverend gentleman proceeded tO, give a number of inte res ti ng d escr i pt i ons o f t h e state o f poverty in which the population of various localities were. sunk, and their excellent c on d uc t un d er t h e pressure o f affliction, and concluded by a powerful appeal for assist ance in the efforts of the committee to save them,froto perishing.

Accounts from Riga, down to the 21st instant, state the grain market to be very brisk. 74-751 b. oats are now. held at 90rs., and 89rs. are offered in vain. This is equal to about 245. per quarter on board. Courish Wheat hag been done at 168r5., being 545. 6d. per quarter. The ex change is 401 d. to 41d. per rouble silver on London.
