TO CORRESPONDENTS. • A correspondent states that a paragraph has been going the rounds of the press, stating that the Albert Gallatin made her outward passage in nineteen days, and expresses his surprise that her arrival out is not corroborated by the news per • steamer ye,terday, although that would allow her thirty-four days for the passage. We are unable to attend satisfactorily to several communica_ Lions received yesterday, but they shall have our attention next week. A landlord cannot be considered at all responsible for the acts of his tenant. It appears that there was no truth in the report of a contem porary. that a petition relative to Convocation was placed at the Constitutional Office for signature. TUESDAY MORNING. MAY 14, 1850. 'The free trade organs have been, of late, at great pains to convince us that the grain markets abroad bad reached the minimum at which shipments would he made to Great Britain ; and they are just flattering themselves upon their correctness, a slight reaction having taken place during the past fortnight. Men of experience in the trade, how ever—such men, for example, as Mr. G. Sandars and his Stettin correspondents—have maintained, on the contrary, and still contend, that as yet the Teal price at which the surplus of foreign countries would cease to come here had to be discovered; and that the experience of past years afforded no data upon which to form a judgment. With a scale of duties in this country which only occasion ally permitted holders an opportunity of supplying us at a profit, and that at a short notice, stocks at the various foreign ports were geoerally only suffi cient to serve for distribution coastwise, or for chance shipments to supply deficiencies in neutral markets ; and cultivation in the interior was limited to borne wants. But a totally altered state of things has now arisen. The opening of the British market at a nominal duty has already stimulated, and will, more and more, stimulate the exertions of the foreign farmer, and the prices at which imports will come forward will no longer be regulated by those which temporarily rule at the ports, but those at which grain can be raised in the interior, and forwarded for shipment. On this point we have as yet very trifling evidence to give. It is certain, however, that the calculations made hitherto have been very unsatisfactory and incor rect. Thus, Mr. Jacob, in his report of 1826, 'stated the average price of Wheat at Vi arsaw at 28s. per quarter. and the internal transport and charges upon it 125., making it cost 40s. free on board at .Dantzic. Mr. Mae&loch adds to this price 12s. as the Cherges to a British port, making total cost of 525. as the lowest at which Dantzic wheat eonid be sald in L ,radon. The 12s. charges from'Dentzic form an ahsurdly exaggerated esti. mate, when it is considered that the present freight from that port, to Liverpool is only about 3s. 6d. per quarter; and that it is less to a port on the •. east coast.. The 12s. for interior charges we con sider also exaggerated. Another authority, Mr. Grade of Daetzee furnished the agricultural com mittee of Ib3l with a table, which gave the average price of wheat at Dantzic in the twenty years ending 1819 at 575. Bd. per quarter ! But it is to . be remarked, that included in these twenty years were the famine years of ISCO and 1801 ; and that during sixteen of them continental agriculture was well nigh ruined by the wars, in which every nation was successively plunged. The average of the next eleven years (of peace) up to 1841 was greatly re duced (being 375. 11d.), and would have been still further reduced had those from 1838 to 1841 been omitted. Mr.Muculloch remarks that in these eleven years the average price adding 10d.lor shipping charges would have been 38s. 9d., free on board at Dantzic, and that it could nut have been delivered, allowing 12s. or 13s. for its importation and delivery to the millers in London for less than 51s. to 525. per yarter, independent of duty. This price, how ever, he reminds us, would only rule during periods when no considerable exportation was taking place. The prices "represent only average years; and when ever there is any unusual demand for corn, or when from 200,000 to 300,000 are wanted for this country, • the price immediately rises to from 455. to 50s. a quarter and upwards"—tnind free on board at Dantzic. Twelve or thirteen shillings more is, ac cording to his showing, to he added for transport and delivery to the consumer here, making the cost, say 625. per quarter. • Now this is one of the boasted authorities of the writers and speakers on Free Trade. Mr. Macul loch's statistics have been crammed down the farmer's throat again and again, as infallible truths. Let us therefore test his accuracy. A demand for -two hundred to three hundred thousand quarters for this country was to raise the price at which Dantzic wheat could be delivered in the • London markets to about 625. shillings per quar ter. The actual price, however, of this wheat on Monday, May 6th, in the London market, was 445. to 465.; being an average of 17s. per quarter, or twenty seven per cent. under the calculation of the great free trade authority. And this too was the case, although in the twelve months previously we had taken from Dantzic, and from other ports firi the North of Europe, a demand in which would affect prices in Dantzic, nearer a million and a half than two or three hundred thousand quarters ! • But let us pursue the data given us by our ataticians a little further. In 1835 Mr. Maculloch, gives us the lowest price at Danzic, 218. Old.; the highest '26s. 3d ; and the average 235. Bd. This Was a year in which scarcely any wheat was imported into this country ; and the quotation tends to shew how far the foreigner will go in the process of reduc tion, in order to meet prices in the British market. itacording to the evidence given by Mr. Jacob, in his report, 12s. is the cost of conveyance from Warsaw; of waste on the journey, of drying, and of putting free on board at Dantzic, deducting these charges, the cost of the wheat at Warsaw would be, in 1835, 11s. Bd. Allow for carriage from interior, commission, profit, &c.. and ten shillings per quar ter would, in that year, be the extreme amount netted by the Russian grower !. We cannot find either that he was ruined by this low price, and that it • was to him an exceptional one, for he had sold at an average 0f.275. 6d. in Danzic, equal to 15s. Gd. in Warsaw, in 1834; at 30s. 7d. in Dantzic, equal in Warsaw to 18s. 7d. in 1833 ; and in 1836, after his sorry success in the preceding year, he realized, in Dantzic, 28s. 11d., or in Warsaw 16s. 11d. Nor do we imagine that a permanent range of prices at this level would throw the land of Russia out of ' tillage, or that the real cultivator has ever been permitted to receive much higher prices. The grain • merchants on the continent, and the superior owners . of the soil, are not so liberal to the poor serfs, who toil for their joint profit. The instances are rare in which one of these owns a bushel, and realizes anything approaching the prices at the ports, where the stocks have hitherto been exclusively held by capitalists seeking to catch opportunities of large profits upon their investments. By a return of the prices of wheat during the :years 1844 to 1849. which has just been furnished to the House of - Commons, on the motion of Mr. • Slaney, one of the members for Shrewsbury, we find that in other markets similarly low prices have been occasionally submitted to by the foreign ex porter. Thus, the minimum price in 1844 was, at Odessa, 17s. 6d. ; at Dantzic itself, 16s. Gd. ! ' (what was left for the poor serf then ?)—Konigs berg, 215.; Hamburg, 18s. 7d, ; Trieste, 9s. 31 - d. !! and New Orleans, 17s. We have not heard, never theless, that these countries have ceased to grow wheat. We attach, therefore, no importance whatever to past quotations at any European port, as affording a criterion of the prices at which we may, under our present policy, expect to receive supplies from the interior; and the same will ultimately he the case with respect to the rates at whi c h we s h a ll b e supplied from the United States and Canada. At present the prices of these countries rule highe r than in our own, in part owing to the increased consumption there, caused by the in measure, emigra tion of the past few years, and, some from capital and labour being withdrawn from th e cultivation of the soil to be embarked in the new dorada which has sprung up on the shores of the Pacific. But when the British and European capi tal and agricultural experience, at present proceed ing in such abundance from Europe, shall have been placed in active operation upon the shores of the great lakes and rivers of the fertile West, nothing can arrest the influx of their produce to our markets, at prices ruinous to the British grower. With a virgin soil of inexhaustible fertility, requir ing no manure, and the fee simple of which can be purchased for a less amount per acre than the rent of a poor farm in this country,— w ith no internal t axa tion, no t i thes, no poor rates, and no highway rates to pay, and with rivers, canals, and railways to bring down produce to the coast,--can we doubt that the American farmer would be enabled, in ' • csirdigary . years, to afford a surplus for the popula- tion of this country, limited only by our means to consume and to pay for it ? We are far from certain that such a state of things as we have predicted as menacing the British farmer is not approaching more rapidly than is generally anticipated. On Saturday last, the fol lowing paragraph appeared in the columns of the London Times : " A vessel arrived from Alexandria has brought the large quantity of 5,000 quarters of grain, comprising the entire cargo, and consigned to order. The vessel in which this importation took place belonged to Austria, but the cargo was now admissible under the repealed laws of last year." What may have been the cost of this particula r cargo we shall not pretend to say. From a Para graph, however, which has been sent by a corn merchant of Milford to the Pembrokeshire - Herald, containing a price current received from his corres pondent at Alexandria, we should think that the speculation mentioned by our contemporary will prove a most profitable one. The following is the information contained in the circular in question:— "On the 6th inst., Egyptian wheat could be bought, free on board, at the exceedingly low price of fifteen shillings and five pence per Imperial quarter ; and vessels. could be chartered to convey it to a direct port in England for four shillings per quarter : so that, allowing two shillings a quarter more for other expenses. it could be landed here at twenty-one shillings and five pence, or about two shillings and eight pence per Winchester bushel. This, be it remembered, is for wheat of the FIRST quality of that country; the Behira, or wheat of the SECOND quality, is sold at about four pence per Winchester less." " Twenty-one shillings and fiVepence per quarter for wheat of the first quality !" Can our agricultu ral friends furnish us with anything at this price? Can high farming, Mr. Huxtable's pigs and ammo nia, enable our new school of farming Solons to live and pay rents with such cargoes meeting them in the market ? Assuredly not ; and we venture to tell them that this will shortly he by nn means an ex ceptional case. In a couple of months we shall have the produce of the early harvests of the south of Europe pouring into our markets, to take advantage of their present temporary firmness ; and the quota tions of Dantzic and other markets of the north must inevitably approach a little nearer than at pre sent to the wretched prices allowed to the poor serfs in the interior, whose toil raises the produce from the earth. Nothing less than a blight, we are satis fied, can prevent prices of grain, during the coming summer and autumn, falling lower than in any year during the present century. What will be the result ? We fear to contemplate its disaster and danger. IT is a fact just now, which few will dispute, that in this land of ours There is scarcely an inte rest or a class which is not complaining of severe depression or suffering. On Tuesday last we had disclosed to us, at a meeting held in the Amphi theatre, the appalling condition of the journeymen tailors. We learned from that meeting, upon unim peachable authority, that in a Christian country there are men, with souls to be saved, who cannot earn the means of supporting life without trampling upon one of their Creator's most holy ordinances. A journeyman tailor, under the sweating and slop shop system, must starve a day if he presumes to enjoy that day of rest which has been set apart for God's worship. Since Tuesday, the attention of the legislature has been occupied with the condi tion of the journeymen bakers ; and a powerful protest has still more recently been made against the policy which is prostrating the agricultural classes. The merchant and tradesman interest share the general suffering. On the 4th of this month we learn that three thousand dishonoured acceptances were lying under protest in London. The manufacturing interest, for whose exclusive benefit we have been of late legislating, is no better off. Every advice, and every trade circular, which we have from the manufacturing districts proclaims a tale of profitless enterprise and unemployed in• dustry. It is significant of the truth of a deteriorated condition of the nation that the especial organ of the party, which assumes for itself the reputation of being the best informed upon political matters, is sending its " commissioners" into our large towns to - inspe.ct personally the deplorable condi tion of our labouring masses. The Morning Chro nicle gives from timeto timesuch pictures and details of suffering, vice, and squalid immorality amongst our poor as might make the angels weep. No Christian land ought to have upon its face such plague spots. No statesman ought to lay his head upon his pillow and sleep until he has at least attempted to remove the stigma which such a state of things casts upon the policy of the legislature. No minister possessed of a conscience, ought to receive a farthing of his salary so long as the evi dence exists of his incompetence to secure a reason able amount of prosperity to the people over whom he is set to govern. The most wealthy nation of the earth has a large portion of its population con tinuously upon the verge of starvation and despair ! Can this last ? Is it reconcileable with the main tenance of our institutions, or the security of pro perty ? It is not. A country so circumstanced may be said to be situated over the mouth of a smouldering volcano. Happily for us, at present the demagogue is idle. The men of the O'Connell and O'Connor stamp have disgusted and betrayed their dupes. But a whole people will before long take their own cause in hand and speak for them selves, in tones and with an energy which will ensure. their being heard. We would most emphatically warn that party — the so-called Conservatives—whose leading organ is holding up to the world's ga e the deplorable condition of large masses of the people—of the necessity of being prepared in time with an ameli orative policy. You acknowledge the existence of widely spread and accumulating distress and crime. What is the cause of the disease, and what is the remedy you propose for its removal ? Do not leave it to be improvised by an excited and infu riated people. They would inevitably be impelled towards some measure of revolution or confiscation. A mob is not a reasoning body. Hungry men, driven to measures of appropriation, take generally more than they absolutely require. The minds of the public, of all classes and par ties, require to be drawn at once to a calm and searching examination of the actual condition of the country ; and as exposing a few of the darkest phases of existing society, we thank the " Com missioners" of the metropolitan press for their labours. They show most assuredly a state of things which not one of the specifics advocated by the great contending parties in the legislature is sufficiently searching in its operation to reach. What measure of financial reform, for example, would affect the destitution and misery to be found amongst the semi-pauper class in our large towns ? Such reform would leave them still grovelling in vice, squalor and filth, continually hanging a bur then upon the middle classes, and gradually lower ing the condition of the industrious working classes. Parliamentary reform, extension of the suffrage and the ballot—the crotchets of the Walmsleys and Heyworths—wbat man is mad enough to anticipate any direct benefit from such organic changes ? A system of Government emigration would only remove from the country the skilled workman, the small farmer, and the honest and hardy agricul tural labourer—the very classes most valuable to us—with, perhaps, a portion of the able-bodied of our pauper classes. Mr. Sydney Herbert's pro posed export of London sempatresses would only serve to make room for a fresh supply, who would rush to occupy even so wretched a position. _ The most efficient measure of relief, under the existing circumstances of the country, would be a measure of fair protection to British industry, which would restore to the manufacturer, the mer chant, the shopkeeper and the artisan, a borne consumption for the products of their enterprise and industry. But even such a measure, per se, would fail in restoring us to a healthy condition. It must be borne in mind that a large portion of the evils under which the country labours have been gradually accumulating whilst a protective system was in operation. The condition of our working classes has been deteriorating year after year ; our middle classes have been descending in the social scale ; and the power of capital over industry has been doubled, and even trebled. The distance betwecm the two ends of the social column has gradually extended itself ; and we have been approaching to a state of things in which there will be only two classes—the very wealthy and the very poor. The former have been adding field to field, and house to house, whilst the latter have only been adding hour to hour of the toil required to enable them to subsist. This is the true danger of our position as a nation. This is the giant evil for which a remedy must be found. And whatever statesman and whatever party will boldly and honestly grapple with it will earn an immortality of THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. e~ti:~.~ fame, and the gratitude and admiration of the whole human race. We submit that such remedy is to be found only in a complete subversion of our present monetary system, to the operation of which is clearly trace able the evils under which we are labouring as a people. Since the fatal bill of 1819, the industrious and trading classes of this country have been going step by step down the social ladder, whilst the capitalist—we speak of him in the ordinarily received sense of the word, although we mean by it the man of money—has been adding to his hoards, and ascending the same ladder. The substitution of the gold pound of Sir Robert Peel for the paper nound of the immortal William Pitt, at one sweep ing blow added a third to the national debt and the national burthens. It added a third to every mort gage, to every private debt, and to the amount of labour to he given by the workman to his employer and to the state for a given quantity of food and raiment. It was, in short, a measure of confiscation directed against the debtor interest, and the pos sessor of property in land, houses, labour, or any other description of value, for the advantage of the creditor interest, the usurer and the man of fixed income. It directed us to pay 275. for every 20s. that we owed. This, however, was only- the first blush of the evil, although a more audacious fraud was never perpetrated upon a people. The crushing point of the measure was the restriction which it caused in the credits previously allowed to the enterprising and industrious of all classes, from the scarcity of the metal prescribed as the basis of our circulation of money; and the commanding power which it conferred upon the few to oppress and grind down the many. The great capitalist now began to ab sorb the trade of the country, whilst the industri ous man of less means fell into the background, or sunk in a vain attempt to compete with his neigh bour by cheapening his wares. "Small profits and quick returns" was the shibboleth of the day. Our staple fabrics were deteriorated to meet the required reduction in prices. The stigma of dishonesty and fraud settled upon our character as a people. The wages of the labourer sunk lower and lower, .until at length we find a large portion of our skilled artizans in almost hopeless bondage in the hands of the slop shopkeeper, and the unscrupulous and griping middle Man ; whilst by the additional strin gency given to the system by Sir Robert Peel's Bank Act of 1844. the mercantile community, appalled by the recent disasters which have occurred, hesitate to embark their means in any undertaking from which capital cannot be withdrawn at a mo ment's warning. To the consideration of this question the legis lature and the people of England must devote them selves at once, if they wish the country to he saved from convulsion. The Peel pound has been the bane of the industrious clesses ; a return to THE PITT.POUND is the antidote. With the latter we defended ourselves against the combined powers of Europe, and emerged from a prolonged and glori ous contest, the most wealthy and powerful nation on the globe. We had a flourishing commerce, flourishing* agriculture, flourishing manufactures, and a well employed, a Avell-paid, a happy and a contented people. With the former we have had only alternate panic and confusion, false prosperity followed by stagnation, suffering, and ruin. With but half the nominal amount of taxation now that we had to pay at the close of the war, we feel its - pressure doubled. Our debt of 800 millions is 1600 millions, whether measured in commodities or in labour. Our poor rates and local imposts are doubled ; and the private debts of individuals are doubled. One half of the land of Ireland is in a state of foreclosure; and that of Great Britain is rapidly sinking into the same condition. In the midst of all this. disorganization and distress the authors and abettors of our present monetary laws, and the drones who live upon the honey of the industrious hive, are alone enjoying prosperity and adding to their accumulations. Sir Robert Peel dogmatizes to his ruined tenantry upon the advan tages of high farming ; and the lordly capitalist, his adviser, *sits side by side in the Upper House with the descendants of the men who fought at Agincourt and Blenheim, whose title deeds of property he holds locked in his iron safe, or but toned in his breeches' pocket. Ought a system which 'results in such fruits, to be permitted to continue I Forbid it, the common sense of Eng land Forbid it humanity and justice! We say to the merchants of Liverpool, whose noble protest against it in the dearly remembered October of 1847 their countrymen well remember ; we say to our Constitutional Association, and our newly formed Chamber of Commerce—here is a ques tion worthy of your intelligence and energy to take up and agitate. Manchester may enjoy the future odium of having brought into operation that free trade policy which .has already ruined thou sands of our agriculturists, and is now rapidly recoiling upon the manufacturers themselves. Let Liverpool. whose merchants were the first to' carry out on an efficient scale the railway system, immor talize herself by being the first to offer a powerful effort to overturn an accursed monetary system, the baneful operation of which is fast uncivilizing and unchristianizing large masses of the British people, and preparing the way for revolution and anarchy ! THE WEATHER still continues at a low or cold tempe rature, for the-reason. and vegetation is much retarded. LIVERPOOL CHURCH OF ENGLAND INSTITUTION.— The Committee of Cciuncil on Education have presented to the above institution a complete set of their " Minutes," which will he of great service to clergymen and school masters for reference. The moderate subscription to this institution places it within the reach of nearly all classes. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM DRINKING.—A working man, named Silvester Warrington, residing at No. 16, Wright street, Toxteth-park, went home on Saturday night, near midnight, a good deal affected by drink. He and his wife went to bed, and early in the morning his wife was awakened by a noise on the stairs, and on going down found him lying at the bottom, with his head on the landing. She called assistance, when it was found that he was quite dead, apparently from dislocation of the neck. SHIPBUILDING AT BIRKENHEAD.—A very modest paragraph appeared in the London papers of Saturday, announcing that Messrs. Councillor Hornby, Alderman Hodgson, the Town Clerk, and Mr. Wightman had an interview with the Woods and Forests Commissioners on ►he previous day. It appears that the visit of our re spected townsmen bad reference to an application that the Commissioners will give up to the Corporation, for ship-huilding purposes, the foreshore between the Wood side Ferry Slip and the Monks' Ferry Slip. No doubt this proposition will be acceded to, but we would suggest to our watchful Town Clerk to ascertain whether or not it is the fact that less restrictions are placed en the splen did piece of land between the Monks' and Birkenhead Ferries, than on that already mentioned. THE NEW RAILWAY STATION IN TITHEDARN STREET.—The station in Tithebarn-street, at the termi nus of the Lancashire and Yorkshire line is now com pleted, and was opened yesterday morning. The erection has improved the neighbourhood of its locality very con siderably, not only in so far as it presents a pleasing ob ject to the eye, but because it has occasioned the clearance of much dilapidated and unsightly premises. The new pile of building is striking in effect, without possessing any of those costly accessories to the builder's art which have been one cause of the fall in dividends. Its site is at a considerable elevation, consequently the approach is by a flight of steps leading to a natural platform, which, as well as the steps, is guarded by massive and noble battlements or stone balustrades. In consequence of the edifice being so elevated and surrounded, a good deal of effect is sacri ficed as viewed from the street, the lower portion of the building being almost quite concealed. With respect to the interior, &c., ti►e most careful attention has been paid to the accommodation of the public; the waiting-rooms for both first and second class passengers are elegant apartments, and are furnished in a very superior manner and on a liberal scale. In connexion with the station is a very large, though remarkably light roof of zinc and glass. A good deal of sensation was observable in the neighbour hood yesterday in consequence of this event. THE PROTECTIONIST MOVEMENT.—On Saturday the delegates appointed at the South Sea House presented•to the Premier an excellent address against our present commercial policy. Mr. Newdegate, Colonel Sibthorpe, &c., were present; but the Duke of Richmond was pre vented being present by illness. Mr. H. C. Chapman and Mr. Thomas Bold of this town were present. The addresses of the various speakers evidently made a great impression on his lordship.—On Thursday the deputa tion appointed at the same meeting waited en Lord Stanley, to represent to him, as the protectionist leader, the true condition of the country. A very firm and high tone was adhered to by both the deputation and his lordship. One of the deputation said that he was in the habit of travelling a great deal, and that he never entered a railway carriage, or went into company, without finding tbat those who were formerly free traders were now quite the reverse. Lord Stanley said that the distress in the country was increasing, and was pressing on every class of the community. His lordship added, alluding to the imports of wheat, that a recent parliamentary return, so 'fat from indicating a falling off in imports, or a rise in price, showed that the prices have fallen from 40s. on the sth day of January to 375. 10d. on the 20th of April ; whilst the imports have increased from 36,000 quarters of wheat in the second week of January, to 1111,000 quarters of wheat, exclusive of flour, in the week ending the 17th of April. And the total amount of imports, in little more than three months, with an average price of from 375. to 38s. a quarter, has not been far short of 1,000,000 quarters of corn, converting the dour into quarters at the crawl rate: CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY. Theannual meeting of the Liverpool and West Lancashire branch of the Church Missionary Society took place yester day morning in the theatre of the Collegiate Institution. The number present was not so great as on former occa sions, and the majority were ladies. The chair was occupied by the Rev. Chancellor Raikes ; and the Hon. and Rev. Lord Wriothesley Russell, Rev. C. Hodgson and Rev. F. Close attended as a deputation from the parent society. On the platform were Alderman Horsfall, C. Inman, Esq., Alderman Molyneux, and W, Maples, Esq., as well as the following clergymen :—Revs. W. W. Ewbank, W. Rawson, R. Davies, F. Barker, F. Parry, H. Car penter, S. Minton. H. Marlen, H. Hampton, W. Fal loon, W. Wright, D. James, W. Purdon, A. F. Power, G. Dover, J. Hassell, J. Stewart, West Derby, Wm. Hughes, R. Owen, M'Naught, J. C. Cowan, J. Butler, R. V. Ryan, Humphries, Fawden, H. Mosse, W. Brewster, T. Robinson, D. Barry, J. Lowe, R. W. Wolseley, and C. A. Graham. The Rev. Chancellor RAIKES, after taking the chair, addressed the meeting :—He had no intention of tres passing for any length of time on the attention of his christian friends, but he must be permitted to say that he hoped and trusted that they would not take the apparent number at the meeting as any symptom of falling off in the interest taken in the association : he hoped and trusted he need not be disheartened just at the time when God seemed to be opening out a track through the whole earth for our missionaries •, it was hardly necessary for him to say that every succeeding year opened new spheres for the labours of missionaries. (Hear, hear.) It was to he expected that anxiety would be felt on the part of the association if anything like distrust were evinced just at the moment when God appeared to bless their efforts. But he tru-ted that there was no such feeling, and that the details that were about to be given to them by the secretary, would have the effect of dispelling any momen tary coldness. In allusion to a subject that at present dis tracts the Church, the rev. speaker observed that it was delightful to sec them turn from baptismal regeneration to the more important object of extending christian bap tism ; turning from that question which only tended to create strife to the nobler one of bringing about the teach ing of Cie "simplicity of the truth as it is in Jesus," which, after all, should be the end and object of all their pro ceedings on earth. The individuals who were moving in that strife, were not those whom they were accus tomed to meet on such occasions as the present. The rev. gentleman proceeded with much force to show that the sticklers for spiritual power in the Church were not following out the ends of their mission so effectually as those who humbly and with all earnestness endeavoured to diffuse and teach the gospel in quarters where its sounds were heretofore unheard : though he was not un mindful of the duty they owed to God lo stand up for the faith " once delivered to the saints," nor did he doubt that the church ministers would shrink from that duty, if ever their religion were threatened. The rev. gentleman resumed his seat, after which The Rev. SECRETARY offered up a prayer, and at its conclusion. read the report : The report, after expressing gratitude to God for the abun dant blessing granted to the society, stated that 5554 heathens had been admitted during the past year by baptism into our churcu, in the several missionary stations of this society. The number of communicants too has been increased by 543: No fewer than 40,000 children are receiving Christian education in the schools of the society, and the stated hearers of the gos pel in the society's missions amount to 107,000. The society has now in its service 1400 lay preachers (almost all converted heathens), 147 ordained c ergymen, 13 of whom are natives of the countries in which they latiour. Notwithstanding the fears felt by many, the income of the society is greater than that of last year by £3OOO, and amounts to £104 , 273. New openings of a most promising character are daily presented, Most touching appeals from Africa. Syria, Punjaub, and from Scinde have recently been received, and my must be rejected un'ess more strenuous efforts are made. The report concluded with a warm and eloquent tribute to the memory of the late Rev. E. Bickersteth, `who, though dead yet speaks, inviting us by his blessed example to more simplicity of purpose, more fervent zeal, more Christian devotedness. and more holy love in this and every other work of Cod.' The treasurer's account showed that the receipts of the Liverpool Association, during the past year, amounted to 2342 18s. 4d., whilst 'hose of the previous year were £2413; and that the sum of 42360 had been remitted to the parent Institution. The report contained an earnest appeal to the churchmen of Liverpool for increased contributions, for there never was a time when the society needed more the zeal and energies of its single-minded friends. The Rev. THOMAS ROBINSON, incumbent of St. Bar tholomew's, proposed the first resolution, which was the adoption of the report and the appointment of the officers for the year ensuing. He said ae should sincerely regret his position as a junior clergyman if he were not identi fied with this great missionary society. (Hear.) It was one of the most marvellous instrumentalities of the age for evangelizing the world, and he could hardly regard it as a human institution, for not only did he recognize the finger of -God in the blessed reformation, hut "equally in the birth and growth of the Church Missionary So ciety, The spirit of missions which burned in the hearts of those men who established the Missionary Society was not of human origin—it was the doing of Almighty God. He took a live coal from off the altar of heaven and placed it upon the altar of their hearts. They thought about the world lying in the arms of the wicked one— they thought about the glorious truth, " Jesus Christ, by the grace of God, tasted death for every man,"—they thought ahout the culpable negligence of the Church in regard to the conversion of the world ; they thought about' that prophetical day in whose unclouded light no man should say to his brother, " Know the Lord, for all shall know him from the least even unto ,the greatest ;" and thinking about these great and striking subjects, they met together to take counsel one with another—to mingle thir tears and their prayers before the throne of grace. Those prayers were heard—those prayers were answered, and answered far beyond their most sanguine expectations. The effect had been placed before tnem that morning, in the report which had been read. It was replete with information—it told its own tale, and carried conviction along with it, which showed what a great and glorious work was being carried on through the instrumentality of the society in foreign lands. To his mind that success was to be attributed, under Gbd's blessing, to the Scriptural views held by • its con ductors on two points, namely, man's ruin by sin, and his restoration through Jesus Christ, without meddling with those refined questions which now agitate the Church. (Hear, hear.) The reverend gentleman then continued in eloquent strains to urge the claims of the society on the attention and support of his hearers ; but more especially to an interest in their prayers, for no prayer was lost. If offered riahtly, and in a good spirit, they were indented around the throne of God, and pro ! duced their effect when looked on by the Eternal, sanc tified as they were by the incense of our Saviour's right eousness. (Loud cheers.) _ The Rev. C.Honosorr, one of the deputation seconded the motion. He congratulated them on the manifest growth of their association since last he had the privilege of corning amongst them fourteen years ago. During that period they had indeed witnessed the growth not merely of missionary interest and zeal but also of christian prin ciples in that place, which was well calculated to call forth expressions of thankfulness and hearty congratulations to themselves. Fourteen or fifteen years ago such a meeting as that could not be gathered together even at night, and the treasurer's account presented a very different aspect to what it did then, although things were not yet all that could be wished; yet they thanked God and took courage. The speaker then proceeded to notice the progress which missions had made. There were now thirty-seven socie ties, employing five thousand missionaries, and during the last half century above half a million converts had been baptized into the Church of Christ. (Hear, hear.) Pro fessor Hoffman had stated in the preface to his volume of sermons on missions, that during the last half century the number of those converted by means of missions was equal to the whole of those received into the Church dur ing the whole of the first century of the christian era. (Hear, hear.) Such had been the effect of the blessings of God on their puny efforts, for they were but puny after all. He was sure all present would rejoice in the truly Catholic spirit which had always actuated the society, as was manifested on that truly Catholic rule adopted on its first formation—" that they should maintain a friendly intercourse with all other Christian Missionary Societies." During the past year some additions had been made to their missions, which now included New Zealand ; they had 150 mission aries, within two, in holy orders,—a larger number than at any former period. Many of the appointments too had been exceedingly good—he alluded to the Bishops of Vic toria, of Prince Rupert's Island, of Calcutta, and of a young man of great talent, a Fellow of Oxford, as Mis sionary to Agra, upon the Punjaub. These facts cheered the hearts of their friends. It was marvellous too what had been wrought in New Zealand. Twenty years ago there were only twenty-nine converts, now there were about. 5,000 communicants, and he dared hardly name the number of attendants on Christian worship, but he be lieved it was somewhere about 40,000, or one half the people of the Island thus praying to Almighty God. In Africa there were five missions, and the prospect of evan gelizing that country became every year brighter and bet ter. In the north and the south, in the east and the west, very important measures had been adopted for introduc ing the Gospel ; and even the natives themselves ware anxious that white men would come and reside amongst them. Such in fact was the earnestness in the matter, that the King of Abyssinia had written for a missionary. The Society had now 120 African teachers—men of God, although only four were yet in Holy Orders. The rev. gentleman then alluded to the ordination of a young African, named Miholls, who wrote a paper on the evi dences of Christianity, written previous to his ordination, had been spoken of by the Bishop of London, in these terms—that he had hardly met with one so satis factory. (Hear, hear, and applause.) After referring to a number of facts relative to the spread of the gopsel in various parts of Africa, facts highly important and interesting, he proceeded to observe that the particular feature of the missionary cause, after all, which it be hoved them to place prominently before a public meet ing was the manifold openings which God was making for an extension of their work. In China, in Africa, in India. in the isles of the sea, in every direction, a wonder-work ing Providence was beckoning them forward. Who was to do this ? They must rely upon old friends. Those who now became members of the society were allowing their attention to be diverted, and were not, he was afraid, so hearty in their attachment to its principles. He therefore appealed to those present for their strenu ous assistance. The pecuniary affairs of the Society were in a very unsatisfactory state. There had been no in crease in its funds during the last ten years, p ar ti cu l ar l y from the local Associations. In four dioceses there had been a decrease in five years of £7,44o—this year it was between £1,600 and £1,700. making a total decrease of tluise Associations of £9,000. In Oxford the decrease had been £l,OOO ;in Exeter it was £2,519. (Hear.) Thus whilst the Society was doing its work satisfactorily, whilst it was wending its way in a manner which showed that the blessing of God rested upon it, there was a de crease of pecuniary assistance. (Hear.) The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. A collection amounting to £26 was then made, during which the audience sang, "All bail the power of Jesu's same." The Rev. F. CLOSE moved the next resolution, to the effect that the increase and magnitude of the work of God, within the influence of the Church Missionary Society was such that it ought to invite the Christian at home to an enlargement of their prayers, their efforts, and their alms. The rev. gentleman commenced by ob serving, that the object of the resolution might, in one sense, said to be over. The collection had been made, and anything he could say would not add another sixpence to it ; but inasmuch as there were to be some other meet ings, if his arguments should convince any one that they ought to have put eighteen pence on the plate instead of one shilling, he hoped they would not fail to give the balance the next evening. (Cheers and laughter.) The society was now in a very extraordinary position. Formerly the facts brought before missionary meetings consisted almost exclusively of horrid tales of heathen cruelty— formerly the missionary hardly knew where to place his foot —now, when there were extraordinary openings, when the whole world was before them—was that a time when their friends at home should withhold their hands. The success which had hitherto attended the society, was after all in a great measure owing to the exertions of a few warm friends of the cause, deeply convinced of its truth ; it was in the deep waters of pure Protestant truth and Christian feeling, that our missionary ship must go on prosperously. (Hear, hear.) But blessed be God the cause did not alone depend on human aid, and though they might humble man by taking the work out of his hands, yet it would prosper. Whatever they were doing at home, God's work was prospering abroad. The rev. gentleman then referred to the operations of the society in foreign lands. And first he would take them to Jerusa lem. They would probably say that was a Jew's question ; but it was now becoming a Church Missionary question. There was now a Christian bishop there and he was one of the most devoted and best friends of the society, as his labours in Abysinnia and Egypt testified. He was about forming a Missionary Society to. Syria and the dark re gions beyond, but his efforts were fettered by the conduct of those at home. As an instance of the success of the Scriptures alone, be mentioned that some time ago a number of members of the Greek Church applied to the bishop to be permitted to join the Protestant Church. He was obliged to refuse them ; they begged from him some copies of the Bible, wishing him to appoint some one to assist them to understand it. He did so, and same time after a priest of their t-hurcli complained that they made light of fasting, refused auricalar confession, praying to the Virgin Mary, and denyitig the truth of transubstantiation. What a mischievous Book the Bible must be ? The priest was advised to turn the refractory members out of his Chnrch ; but he replied that if he turned one out, all the rest would follow. Soon after a number of them applied to the bishop for admis sion into the Protestant Church, observing that they would no longer continue members of a Church which they knew to be idolatrous. The bishop would not re ceive them, and he exclaimed " What am I to do ?" The reason was—when the Anglican Bishoprick at Jeru salem was first formed, therewere into oduced clauses in the bill prohibiting the bishop from making or receiving con verts from the Greek or Roman Churches at Jerusalem. Thus, whilst the bishop had solemnly pledged himself to promulgate the truth and cast down the battlements of error, he was bound hand and foot by Act of Parliament not to do so. (Hear.) And although there was a firman from the Grand Turk in his favour, which permitted Jews, Armenians, Europeans, Greeks, and Romans, to change their religion, yet some Popish Turk at home prohibited their'being received into the Protestant church. " West am Ito do" ? exclaims the bishop. Why let Protestant England speak -out—let her determine that the fetters shall be taken off. (Cheers.) It must be done ! (Re newed cheers.) The King of Prussia was completely out witted in the matter, and he had complained of it. (Hear, hear.) The rev. gentleman then proceeded to notice the operation of the society in India, and completely refuted the observation which had been made that nothing had been done, and in conclusion begged the meeting to reflect whether it was right, and whether they could ex pect the blessing of God on their own pastors, upon their own children and families, when they knew for a truth that the heathens were thirsting for knowledge, and the • society was willing to give it, but could not do so, because people would not afford them something from their lux uries, in order to enable them to do it. (Cheers.) The Rev. Lord WRIoTIIESLEY RUSSELL had great pleasure in rising to second the resolution, especially as the preceding speakers had relieved him from the respon sibility which would otherwise have fallen heavily upon him, by the ample details with which they had favoured the meeting. He had gladly accepted the invitation to come amongst them as an advocate of the society ; but he did not expect to see himself announced as one of the deputation, nor could he understand why it was so. except it arose from the fact of his being a warm and attached friend of the Missionary Society, and a deep conviction of the great blessings it had conferred, not only upon the heathen abroad, but upon our own land. (Cheers.) He trusted, then, the few simple. remarks which would flow from a full heart would tend to deepen those truths they had already heard, and induce them truly, in the language of the resolution, to " an enlargement of their prayers, their efforts, and their alms." They had had already set before them the wonderful openings which God, in His great mercy, had favoured the society with. They had calls from all the different parts of the globe asking for aid. They had heard what had been effected among the Africans in Sierra Leone—of the spiritual communionists of the Christian schools. Then, again, they had heard of the operations of the society in India, in Tinnivelley, that the conduct of the villagers even surpassed that of our own cottagers at home. They also heard of the effect of the Gospel amongst the savages of New Zealand, and of the opening which was pres nted in China. When they talked of increasing their efforts, they would do well to look •back and enquire how it was that these effects had been produced ? It reminded him of the cripple in the Gospel. He enquired by what name or by what power ye have done this? When they talked of conversions to God—of evangelizing the world, the question recurred — by what name or by what power will ye do this ? It was not effected by sending out men to teach civilization. That would not have done the work—it never had ; for civilization followed Christianity. It was utterly vain to send out men to teach civilization first. The corruption of human nature required something more powerful. What had mere civilization done? Look at the nations of antiquity—at Rome, at Athens—what had it done there? Look at the civilization of China, at India, and what had it done for them ? How little had it accomplished in putting down the pollutees vile practich which there ex isted What, had education done without the Bible, sepa pated from the Bible? Civilization followed in the wake of the Bible; but in different parts of the Continent education had been going on without it, and what did it for them ? If they looked there and saw its effects, they would pray from their hearts that it might never be tried in England. (Loud cheers.) Again .there had been attempted an adulterated, debased form of Christianity, by which some had endeavoured to propitiate the heathen, to remove their scruples, and make what they called Christianity as like the idolatry of the heathen as they could.. It was this which had rendered all the efforts and labours of the Jesuits worse than useless. Well might they exclaim, " Jesus 1 know, and Paul I know, but who are ye ?" (Applause.) If all this had failed, then what had accom plished the mighty change ? It was not the cold, life less form of Christianity, which retained the name with out the spirit, but the Christianity which the Church Missionary Society had always promulgated—the same power by which the Apostle healed the cripple—it was by faith in His name that the great cure was wrought; and by the promulgation of that great and important truth—" neither is there salvation in any other for there is no other name given under heaven, among men, by which we can be saved." (Hear, hear.) That was the Christianity which had produced such glorious effects. which lied been so happily expressed by one "as what Christ suffered for us in the flesh, and what he does for us now by his spirit." These were the great truths which . had done so much, and these w e were ca ll e d u p on to spread by increased prayers, by increased efforts, and by increased alms. (Applause.) They had heard of the opportunity, and, " as we have opportunity let us do good unto all." Much remained to be done. (Hear, hear.) The noble and rev. speaker then referred to an interesting meeting, which he was privileged to attend, in London, when the Bishop of Jerusalem was about to proceed to his charge, and two young Africans were present, who had been ordained. He also referred to the converted Chinese Chum, who, under Bishop Smith's staff, was about to light the candle of truth on the confines of China. They had heard a good deal of contributions falling off ; but an observation which fell from a poor man in his own village'svas worth their attention. He and his wife were on their way home from a Missionary Meeting, .whenhis wife observed, " I think all we have hea r d tonight ought to make us ashamed of ourselves for not doing more than we do." The man replied "He should like to do more, but times were bad, and he thought they gave what they could spare." The wife replied that it was time for them to give what they could not spare. This was accompanied by contributing what had before been spent in beer and tobacco ; and although the sum was small, he bad very great pleasure in remitting it to the parent society. (Hear, hear.) The noble and rev. speaker then related an interestin g anec d ote respect i ng an interview between one of the young African clergymen and a poor man. The latter, aft er h ear i ng t h e f ormer was a Christian, s a id, " Why, you are one of those whom I have been paying . for and praying for these twenty if t .er c l u in e olw C t,h l s i erins language,toiar a w n h db e et n .hae l b i ual say, thebe a Here ear permi tted nedrethes some m o e se t t a . I k take alonga h v i e s years." Christian, might not be able to say that, but every south,elable sto h should place at the right hand of God, would see converted souls with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and, in that poor been paying for and praying for; some brought to glory by my prayers, and some by God's blessing on my poor unworthy alms, and by his instrumentality permitted to join me in singing, Blessing, and honour, and dominion, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.' " The noble and rev. lord resumed his seat amid loud cheers. _ Tho resolution was th en passed unanimously, and the doxology having been sung, the Rev. CHANCELLOR pro• nounced the apostolic benediction, and the meeting separated. COLLECTIONS ON SUNDAY.
