The room was filled, and amongst those present were, G. Law, R. L. Carr, W. Sharp, J. S. Jackson, W. Perry, R. Tanton, G. Tanton, Quigley, Smith, Anderson, M. and W. Scott, &C. Mr. ,Carr was called to the chair, and said they had met to assent to or dissent from an application for a bill to improve the township. Mr. H. B. Walker read the preamble of the proposed bill, and said he brought it forward as a private individual, and had no professional interest in it. The chairman asked if any one would vote that it. should be app li ed for, and no one d o i ng so , it was withdrawn—it having been open for inspection only three days. Mr. Perry said, the meeting should first have been called by the Over. seers. In this several' gentler:new concurred.

It was finally agreed that a requisition should be signed to the overseer to .call.a rotating at a future period, to consider the adoption of the statute alluded.

The deceased, (whose son is clerk at Edge-hill Church,) was on Saturday morning walking on the road near Aigburth, a little beyond Toxteth Park, when an omnibus was passing. The driver called out to her as she crossed the road, she being in the way ; but being of great age, and becoming confused, she mistook her way in en deavouring to avoid the danger, and was thrown down, when one of the wheels passed over her head and killed her on the spot.

If, indeed, a weight, similar to that which belongs to the sacred Scriptures, be attached to the rubrics, then they are entitled to im plicit obedience; but if, on the contrary, they are to be regarded as the compilation of fallible men, who, learn'd as they undoubtedly were, felt constrained to make slight concessions to the prejudices of the times in which they lived, but which did not involve man's salvation, the ad vocates for their observance cannot too soon reflect on the course they are pursuing.

MILLINERY.—It will be seen by an advertisement in our first page, that Mr. Clark has opened a shop in Church-street, with a most extensive stock in this line, amongst which he announces every novelty with which the London and provincial markets are supplied. A GREATER BORE THAN THE THAMES TUNNEL.—A. few days since, there was explored, at Marseilles, a tun nel or submarine passage, passing from the ancient Abbey of St. Victoire, running under the arm of the sea, which is covered with ships, and coming out under a tower of Fort St. Nicholas. The structure, which is considered to be Roman, is in such excellent condition that, in order to put it into complete repair, a cost of no more than 500,000 f will be required ; but a much larger outlay will be wanted to render it serviceable for modern purposes. This tunnel is deemed much finer than that of London, being formed of one single vault of 60 feet span, and one fourth longer. MRS. SUNDERLAND. — This delightful vocalist, who sang last night at the Assembly-rooms, in Great George street, and is also to sing this evening at the Commercial hall, is a native of Yorkshire, and resides in the neigh bourhood of Huddersfield, and her beautiful and melo dious voice is known for miles round that part of the country. Although handsome offers have been made to this lady to go to London, where such talent is best app s reciated, she has firmly declined t o l eave her native hill. SATDRDAY EVENING CONCERTS.—On Saturday last a highly pleasing concert took place at the Nelson As sembly-rooms, in which Miss Mary Swain, Miss C. Brown, Mr. Ryalls, and Mr. Hornby, sung with great effect, and were rapturously applauded in several duetts, songs, &c. Mr. Alexander Duncan, professor of elocu tion, gave several serious and humourous recitations, the latter of, which were received with unrestrained bursts of laughter.—lt will be observed by the advertisement, that a treat of a novel and interesting character will be pro duced by the committee on Saturday night, they having engaged the celebrated Mr. H. Russell, from America— when he will give his first popular vocal entertainment, embracing many national songs, &c.,. of that and other countries ' with explanatory c i rcumstances that have roused admiration wherever they have hitherto been berad. His second entertainment is fixed for the 22nd instant. SINGULAR MADNESS. — Sometimes the Circassians in Russia are subject to a temporary madness, which, whe ther it be produced by home sickness, or by ennui, or that it be an hereditary insanity, is no less fearful in its re sults. When the fit seizes them, they snatch their arms, and go forth slaying whoever comes in their way. Their companions immediately shoot them down, as the only means of putting an end to their fury. It is worthy of remark, that this hereditary tendency to periodical fits of frenzy was common among the Northmen, or Nor. mans, who are distinctly made out to owe their origin. to the Caucasian tribes ; and a thousand years back, the Scandinavian Berserk, when he turned his destroying wrath on his relatives and companions, and hit in his iron plated shield, was only subject to the same dreadful aberrations as the modern Circassian.—Revelations of Russia. GUANO. —At the commencement of the past week sales for lehaboe were made at £7 2s. Gd. to £7 ss. per ton. At the close a better feeling was manifested, and an ad vance bas been paid, establishing £7 10. as the price On the spot. For arrivals it is easier to sell than to buy at the latter quotation. Importers of Peruvian having sold out, the price is now £lO 10s. to £ll per ton, according to quantity. FRASERS' LITERARY EVENINGS. — This talented family continue to attract—and deservedly. The lovers of Scottish minstrelsy, and of music, have, at these Evenings, a treat provided for them in which amusement is blended with instruction, and from which few can return to their homes without feeling that there is a plea sure to be derived from pursuits which improve the mind and the taste, which may in vain be looked forlelstwhere. The Misses Fraser sing —as all singers ought to do—as if their souls were in the subjects anti the music of their melodies.

White, Esq., the American Consul for Liverpool, the audience was a bumper in boxes, pit, and gallery. We observe that this is the last week of the company's stay in Liverpool, and would therefore strongly advise those of our readers, f there be any, who have not seen the performances of this talented company, to take time by the forelock.

The prisoner was discovered thrbugh the uneasiness of a dog, and was found making his way from the premiies, towards a neigh bouring yard where he lis ed, with a bag containing the articles. A hole was also found opening into the ware house, by which a boy of his size might have entered. He said, in reply to the usual question by the magistrate, that he did not take the metal from the warehouse, but found it in the yard. He was committed for trial. ROYAL LIVER THEATRE.--Fra Diavolo has delighted the audiences at this theatre during the past week. Last night The Bohemian Girl was introduced for the first time, with an excellent cast. for the benefit of Mrs. Raymond, and, will be repeated to night for the same object. There are few actresses on the stage who, on the score of talent, or unremitting anxiety to please, deserve more at the hands of the Liverpool public than its old favourite, Mrs. Raymond ; and, we trust, that those claims will be responded to this evening by a bumper house. We don't care how full it is. The Bohemian Girl, and the remain der of the bill of fare, ought .to attract even those, who have not, like ourselves, had such abundant reasons to be grateful for many an hour's amusement from the excel lent acting of the respected beneficiare. BEGGAas.—Upwards of twenty five street mendicants were yesterday brought before Mr. Rushton, chiefly na tives of It - elan - El; male - and female. Some of them, old of fenders, or able , bodied, were sent f or various periods to the trea d-mill ; others, aho were agreeable, were told they should be paised ta -their parishes—those who refused being sent to gaol ; and a few who had settlements were handed over to the parish officers to be received into the workhouse, or refusiasg, were also i mpr i sone d . The fe males who had children and were in great want of cloth ing were told, on agreeing to go home, that they would be provided for in th is respect. Amongst the prisoners were two good-looking girls who had been thrown out of work in the coal pits, near Bolton, by the recent act. They shed tears n being brought up, and orders were given by the magistrate to see them temporarily attended to, and sent home by railway. PASSING BASE COIN.—At the Police-court, yesterday, a man named Patrick Powell was charged with having passed base shillings to two different females, and at tempting to pass more Two other bad shillings were also found upon him, but the case being legally incom plete for the full punishment of the offender, he was put back, further evidence being expected against him.—A man named Peter Smith was charged with the same of fsnce. lie had gone to a public-house, in Comus-street, and passed for drink a bad shilling, which was put aside. He bad a companion with him, and they passed two other base shillings. The landlord followed them. The pri soner's companion escaped, but be himself was after wards apprehended in Scotland-road. He afterwards dropped two bad shillings which were picked up. They all bore the date of 1819, which, it would appear, is a favourite one amongst coiners for imitation. He was fully committed for trial. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—Tbe monthly meet ing of this flourishing club was held on Tuesday evening.

A number of models of yachts and vessels were snbmitted to the meeting. A tieauti fully-constructed model of a life-boat, on the most im proved principle, was exhibited by Lieutenant W. Lord, R.N., and was much admired by the members. UNMANLY ASSAULT BY IRON-MOULDERS ON ANO THER WORKMAN OF THE SAME CLASS.—At the police cow t, yesterday, a man named Robert Price, a moulder, who had been apprehended by warrant, was charged with committing a violent assault upon John Curry, who was of the same trade, but in a different employ. In conse-. quance of disputes amongst the moulders, arising out of a recent turn-out of some of the workmen, the case excited considerable interest, as it was expected to prove a sort of sequel to that heard before Mr. Rushton on Friday, arid which drew from him the strongest reprehension. The evidence, however, did not satisfactorily prove it to be so, though some of the circumstances tended to excite a strong suspicion to that effect. Mr. James was engaged for the defence, but being at the time of the hearing en-. gaged with an appeal case at the sessions, Mr. Harden ap peared in his place, and ably pleaded for his client. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, a work man of Mr. Berry, that warrants had been issued for the assault against five moulders, but that the prisoner only had yet been found. At nine o'clock on Friday morning, he went with the prisoner and four other moulders to the Bull's Head public-house. He had known the prisoner before as a moulder, but was not in the same shop with li m. They had some drink, he (complainant)* treating the others. One of the prisoner's companions, named Tilston, went out, and brought four or five others with him on his return. One of them, named Platt, struck Lim (complainant) on the face: another of them held his head while he did so, and several of them kicked and thumped him. He once got up, but was again knocked down. He could not say whether the prisoner was one that struck him, but he was with the others. They tore away one of his waistcoat pockets, and left the other turned inside out. His landlady came in, and he was again assaulted, but becoming insensible, could not tell by whom. He had given not provocation. From other evidence it appeared that they had gone to the house at nine in the morning, and sat drinking a consi derable quantity of ale and spirits; that some, including complainant, were not sober, though not quite drunk ; and that fighting had occurred amongst all or several of 'them. When the complainant's landlady, who was sent for, 'came in, she found him bleeding from the eye, mouth and nose, and she also saw the prisoner and others strike him. The prisoner struck him in the face. A. shopmate of Curry's for the defence said, in cross•exa mination, there was some animosity between some of the other men and theirs, as there was a s t r ik e. M r. Rush ton said the formidable part of the case was not proved against the prisoner, and Mr. Harden submitted that it was a mere drunken squabble, as most of them must bave been tipsy. Another witness however, appeared, who said he went into the house, and saw the complainant ' struck by a man who afterwards ran away. Prisoner, he admitted, said it was shameful ; but he, too, afterwards joined the others in assaulting when he was helpless and almost insensible on the floor. The assailants said it was only a lark, but witness remarked that it was too serious for that. The prisoner struck complainant in the face, of 'shish the latter exhibited marks. Mr. Harden said that the quarrel bad not been traced as caused by the moulders' strike, and that he had been prepared to de fend a much more serious charge. He then called four witnesses, who had each known defendant for a consider able time, and they all spoke of him as an honest, upright, and peaceable man.—Mr. Rushton said that if be and his brother magistrate saw clearly that the assailants had been decoyed into the house to commit the assault (in consequence of the strike), they should certainly send the prisoner for trial to the assizes ; but enough was shown to convince them that a very cruel and unmanly assault had t;een committed, and the last witness had distinctly shown that Price had been one of the aggressors, striking him when he was down an I helpless. The law could not o t e ol 1 l e . r e a s t w e o such fi w o o d r k it , t a o n o d p st reorit,igesf for h o e t o h l u . s conducted e q t o h iem red the prisoner to pay £5 or be imprisoned three months, bail 2 each.

The Oddfellows' Ball, of the Manchester Unity, took place, on Monday evening last, in the large rcom at the Red Lion Hotel, under the immediate patronage of John Wilson Patten, Esq., M.P., the proceeds of which to go to the widows and orphans of the order. Every thing passed off very comfortably. There was a throng com pany. and all appeared to be harmonious and lively. Mr. Peer's elegant band attended on the occasion. It did much credit to the worthy host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Thorpe. MEETING OF GUARDIANS.—The weekly meeting of the Board of Guardians was held, on Wednesday, at the Poorhouse ; there was a tolerable attendance of guardians present, William Burditt, Esq., in the cbair. The usual applications for relief were gone through in the regular way, when it appeared from the returns that Mr. Cruik shank, the relieving officer for Warrington, had had, dur ing the sixth week, 480 cases, relieved with £42 16s. Id. in money, and £l3 19s. 6J. in kind, making together £56 155. 7d. ; and Mr. Owen, the relieving officer for the rural district, 498 cases, relieved with £49 13s. sd. in money, and in kind £5 17s. 4d., making toeether £55 10s. 9d. The number of inmates in the Warrington workhouse is 85, and in Newton, 53 ; making tog! they, 138. The Clerk then proceeded to read several commu nications from the Poor-law Commissioners respecting the new mode of elections for guardians and defraying the expenses relating, thereto ; and sanctioning. the ap pointment of Mr. Th omas N orman as Superintendent of Pauper Labour, at the salary of £5O per annum; and also wishing to know if Mr. Rigby, the present Governor of Newton Poorhouse, was competent enough to conduct this workhouse in a proper and rigid manner, they under- Kanding that the whole business of that house was left for his daughter to manage, the Hon. Mr. Clements having called, but the nvlster was not at home. The Workhouse Visiting Committee was requested to inquire into the al leged inability of the said Governor. This workhouse is for the male paupers, and the Warrington workhouse for the women and children. Mr. William Okell, one of the medical officers, attended,' and asked the board if they would allow him to have a joint partner? if not, he would resign, the contract to terminate in the quarter ending August next. The board could not agree to Mr. Okell taking a joint partner, one officer being sufficient for his district; they must hold him responsible, and him alone, for the visiting of the sick paupers.—Susannah Gleave was bound an in-door apprentice to Mr. James Rigby, of Lowton, a weaver. The committee for conducting the stone-yard and pauper labour adjourned to Mr. Cruikahanks' office for the purpose of providing scales and other implements, and fixing what time the paupers were to work, their wages to be regulated according to their families, &c. The m ee ti ng th en b ro k e up until Wednes day next. SIR,—As a great admirer of your talented journal, PHRENOLOGY LECTURE.—On Thursday evening last which has ever been consistent, Ido not doubt that you Mr. C. Butler, of Fearnhead Academy, gave his first lee will lend your powerful aid against the encouragement of ture on this science at the Town-hall market place. Ins Romanism, with which we are now threatened by Sir R. delivery was very admirable, and it seemed to be no Peel. No Protestant with his eyes open can for a mo- trouble to him. He pleased his hearers very much, and ment doubt, from the tenor of her Majesty's speech, that stated that he hoped to give another lecture in the course our brother Protestants in Ireland are to be inundated of a short time. He had not a very large attendance. with hot beds of Romanism, in other words, an increase of P‘imish colleges. Wh a t, l e t me as k , wou ld h ave b een GRAND JUNCTION R AILWAY .—A n a dditi ona l tra i n i s now despatched every morning for .Manchester, leaving the cr) of our party, bad the whigs (when in power) pro the Warrington station at 9 o'clock to meet the one leav posed so monstrous a measure? England, almost to a ing Liverpool at 8 45 A.M. at Newton bridge, except Sun andman,with the assistance of our clergy, would have risen day, when it will leave at 8 A.M.; and the train which protested azainst it. Again, let me ask, now that , our Pt otestant faith i s a tt ac k e d b y " sappers an d miners ' ' before left Warrington a t 725 A.M. f or Li ver pool and why should we look on w ith i n diff erence ?

" Although the Church be a witness and keeper of Holy Writ, yet, as it ought not to decree anything against same, so, besides the same, ought it not to enforce any thing to be believed for necessity of salvation." Again,—A clergyman, at the time of his ordination, is admonished by the Bishop " to teach NOTHING as re quired of NECESSITY to eternal salvation but THAT which he shall be persuaded may be CONCLUDED and PROVED by the Scripture." - Now, let me deferentially ask, is there any con- FORMITY in the conduct of those gentlemen, who have caused such d;ssension in their respective congregations, to the above extracts, which they are SOLEMNLY PLEDGED TO OBSERVE ? None. Is there any authority derived from Scripture for the use of either black gown or sur plice ? None. Why, then, this obstinacy in things in different." It is not, however, to be inferred that I am opposed to the use of gown or surplice. True, they impart no effi cacy to doctrine, but are to be regarded as mere profes 'onal badges, investing the wearer with befitting respect and importance. The Church of England requires no representations of purity, which is an argument used by the advocates for the use of the surplice. She knows tbat, though ser vices may maintain a semblance of piety, it is into the state of the heart God looks. It is this consideration which stamps with folly all the services of the formalist. Trusting that the clergy will, in the words of the ordi nation service, maintain and set forth. as much as Heal in them, quietness, peace, and love, among all Chris tian people, and especially among them that are or shall be committed to their charge."—l remain. &c., AMICITIA THE COPPER ORE TRADE,
