TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 27, 1852 REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL. SIR STRATFORD CANNING. THE announcement that Sir STRATFORD CAN NING is about to present himself to the electors of Liverpool, in case of a vacancy occurring, has occasioned a good deal of agreeable surprise. Like the French PRESIDENT, his name is an omen of interest, and a reason for prepossessions ; but, un like him, the name is but an indication of sterling merit. The first inquiry with many of our readers will he, " Who is Sir STRATFORD CANNING ?" and that inquiry we endeavour to answer. We are not aware, however, that any life of him has ever been written, and the sketches in the peerage and knightage books would not afford more than half a dozen lines for us. The details which we supply are, therefore, of much interest, and their accuracy may be implicitly relied upon. STRATFORD CANNING, Esq., of Garvagh, in the county Londonderry, who died 13th September, 1775, was grandfather of the present Sir STRAT FORD. He derived his name from his mother, whose family name was STRATFORD, and who was aunt to the first Earl ALDBOROUGH. He left three sons, whose destinies were mutually related, and the descendants of each of them were men of eminence. GEORGE, the eldest, did not marry to please his father; he was, therefore, cut off with an allowance of £l5O a year, and after his death his widow was obliged to resort to the stage for a sub sistence. Her only son was afterwards Prime Minister of England. Her second husband was an actor. PAUL, the second son of STRATFORD, be came heir to his father, and his son GEORGE wa3 afterwards raised to the peerage as Baron Garvagh. His cousin was then a leading member of the Ear of LIVERPOOL'S administration, and there can F e no doubt that his influence contributed to the pro motion of the man who enjoyed his own natura inheritance. The statesman could afford to over look this, however, as, twenty years before, he had married a co-heiress with more than £lOO,OOO. The third son, also called STRATFORD, settled in London as a merchant, and was the father of the subject of this sketch. He undertook at once the education of his eldest brother's child, and was the means of laying the foundation of that great ness, the associations of which can never be sepa rated from our own town. It is important, too, to know the early life of the deceased Premier ; for the two cousins progressed in life with more of the feelings of brothers, and the power and influence of the one were afterwards reflected in the official posi tion and usefulness of the other. STRATFORD CANNING was the youngest son of STRATFORD, the London merchant, and was horn, we are told, in 1789 or Vim His eldest brother, HENRY, was Charge d' Affaires to the Hanse Towns and Lower Saxony from 1841 to 1846; WILLIAM is a clergyman, and was made Canon of Windsor during the WELLINGTON ad. ministration of 1828; CHARLES was an Aide-de camp to the Duke at Waterloo, and was killed in that memorable battle. GEORGE and STRATFORD were both educated at Eton, and the former proceeded to Christ Church, Oxford, where he was a prizeman, but did not graduate. The latter entered in the regular way at King's College, Cambridge, of which he is a Master of Arts. It may be noticed incidentally, as an instance of hereditary transmission of intel lect, that Lord GARVAGH was also a highly accom plished scholar. Thus the sons of three brothers exhibited proofs of blood and kindred in mind, as well as in the external lineaments of person. In 1796, GEORGE CANNING became Under- Secretary in the Foreign department ; in 1800, he was sworn a Privy Councillor; and on March 25th, 1807, he became Chief Secretary for Foreign Affairs. His unfortunate duel with Lord Castle reagh, September 22nd, 1809, led to the retirement of both from the Ministry, and produced an estrangement which lasted for nearly seven years. But on the 17th of July previous, STRATFORD had been appointed Minister-Plenipotentiary to the Ottoman Porte; and here his public life seems to begin. The present Sultan, ABDUL MEDJID, was then only seven years of age ; so that from the first hour that he knew what an ambassador was, he was in some degree familiar with the Represen tative of Great Britain. On this occasion STRATFORD appears to have remained nearly three years, when he was succeeded by Sir ROBERT LISTON . On the 28th of June, 1814, he proceeded to the Swiss Cantons as Envoy-Extra ordinary and Minister-Plenipotentiary, where he appears to have remained six years. On the 17th of October, 1814, his cousin, the Right Hon. GEORGE CANNING, proceeded on an embassy to Portugal; and though there was neither court nor sovereign, the Royal Family having taken refuge in Brazil, his salary was £14,000 a-year On the accession of GEORGE IV., in January, 1820, Mr. CANNING, being then member for Liverpool, retained his place as President of the Board of Controul, in Lord LIVERPOOL'S adminis tration. On the 18th of July in that year, STRAT FORD was appointed Minister-Plenipotentiary to the United States ; and two days after was sworn in as a Privy Councillor. it was in that year that another distinguished diplomatist in the East, Sir G. OUSELEY, Bart., was made a Privy Councillor. On the 16th of September, 1822, GEORGE CAN.. NING became Foreign Secretary a second time, and remained in that position for nearly five years. On the Bth of December, 1824, STRATFORD was despatched on a special mission to Russia; and in 1825 we find him marrying a second time, and then setting out in October to Constantinople a second time, in the capacity of ambassador. Here he remained about two years, when the present Lord HOWDEN took his place; and here his eldest of four daughters was horn. In 1829, after twenty years of public service, he was promoted to he a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, when his formal style and title became, " The Right Honourable Sir STRATFORD CAN NING, G.C.8." At this period the ordinance of the PRINCE REGENT was in force, bearing date January 2nd, 1815, by which only twelve could be " nominated and appointed, in consideration of eminent services rendered to the State, by British subjects in civil and diplomatic employments." Since 1847 the number has been more than doubled. On the 9th of August, 1827, the statesman, scholar, cousin, and unceasing friend had breathed his last; but the talents of the younger son had won for their possessor an independent name and position, and he required no external influence to buoy him up. There is no country in Europe, in which it is so difficult for an Englishman to assimi late his habits and modes of thought as in Turkey. The men of a different clime and different religion look with contempt upon all that varies from themselves ; and too many Franks widen the breach from time to time, through ignorance that is appa rently incurable, or a want of politeness that is insufferable. Those who have been qualified to write respecting the country, as URQUHART in his "Sp;rit of the East," show that in almost every law and custom they differ from us with a reason, which is generally to be found in the spirit of their creed or the nature of their climate. Sir STATFORD appears to have been singularly successful in his inter course ; for while he won the hearts of the Mos lems, he laid the people of various christian states under obligations. On the last day of October, 1831, he set out for Constantinople a third time as ambassador; but seven days later Mr. MANDEVILLE followed him as minister plenipotentiary ad interim. In December, 1832, he proceeded on a special mission to Madrid, respecting the affairs of Spain, and nine months after, the present Earl of CLAREN DON succeeded him as minister plenipotiary. The: Duke of WELLINGTON'S administration, which witnessed the decease of GEORGE IV. and the accession of WILLIAM, bad naturally treated Sir STRATFORD with kindness and confidence ; but in that of Earl GREY and again of Viscount MELBOURNE, there were few with whom he enter tained cordialsympathies. Sir ROBERT PEEL became prime minister in 1841, and on the 16th of the next month Nye find Sir STRATFORD on his way to Tur key, as ambassador. There he remained till June, 1845, when Lord COWLEY was plenipotentiary for a short interim ; but in the close of the same year he is in Constantinople for the fifth time, as ambas sador. There he has remained till the present time; nor does he now seek repose after forty-two years of public service ; but merely an opportunity of usefulness more congenial to his wishes. He is on his way home, and in a few days will be able, we trust, to answer inquiries in person. This sketch would be incomplete did we not mention that Sir STRATFORD was extraordinary minister to Belgium, Greece, Germany, and Swit zerland, in 1846 and 47; and that in 1848 he took charge of a special mission to Frankfort without credentials. During the ante-reform period he sat in Parlia ment for Stockbridge, in Hampshire, through the influence of Earl GROSVENOR, the inhabitants being about 700, and the electors 100. He also sat in the reformed parliament for Lyme Regis, in Dorset, during the period when he was not engaged in diplomacy. Sir STRATFORD CANNING is a remarkable ex ample of the influence which one man may exert for good purposes. While the victories of Nava rino and Acre have made England feared through out the East, the steady, peaceful, and consistent policy of one man, and his high personal character, have made this country respected. While the sons of freedom, for whom BYRON sang, and toiled, and died, are dishonest to a proverb, the Venetian de claring that a Greek is a thief before he is born, the traveller who adopts ordinary precautions may pass through Turkey or Asia Minor, almost as easily as through Ireland or Scotland. Egypt, too, an arm of the great Turkish empire, partakes in the pacific policy, and English travellers and mail bags passed in safety through a country with which we were at war. Nor should. it be forgotten, that whenever the advancement of science or the promotion of hu manity has required it, Sir STRATFORD has shown the feeling heart and the open hand. The record of the discoveries at Lycia, by Sir CHAS. FELLOWES, gives us an interesting insight into his character; and the promoters of useful knowledge will not soon forget how gallantly he assisted the enter prising LAYARD. While our Government is pro digal in its expenditure in some departments, it always adopts the cheese-paring policy in matters of science and literature; but happily the channels of private benevolence are not choked up. Again, when Dr. WOLFF left his quiet parish in Somer setshire, to teach the world a great lesson of hu manity, in his search for STODD ART and CONNOLY, wherever he turned his steps from the Me diterranean to the central plains of Asia, Sir STRATFORD CANNING seemed to be his guardian angel, whose name it was only necessary to invoke. And, finally, when the cause of Hungary was sold into the hands of Russia and Austria, her patriots crossed the frontier into Turkey. The halter and the axe were unsatisfied with victims ; but Sir STRATFORD CANNING and the SULTAN stood firm, and humanity has triumphed. Whether the policy of the exiles were wise or foolish, it is better for all that they should sit under their vine and fig-tree beyond the Atlantic. There are few men so well fitted to represent Liverpool as Sir STRATFORD CANNING; we may almost say, none better. He is familiar with the policy and requirements of many nations, and takes a large view of matters which others see in detail. He knows the importance of supporting valuable in stitutions in their integrity ; and he possesses at once a cultivated mind and sound principles. Nor would any other constituency possess the same interest for him. The name of our town is suggestive of an administration to which he is no stranger; and it is associated with contests in which he felt a deep in terest. His family name is interwoven with our streets ; and the " counterfeit presentment" of his illustrious cousin greets him almost on the thres hold of our borough mansion. CANNING and LIVERPOOL are names that are blended pleasantly and honourably in the past; and, we trust, were it only for the sake of our local respectability, that we may have a union of the names and their ad- vantages again THE ANTI-MAYNOOTH MEETING. THE Meeting which was held in the Collegiate Institution on Tuesday evening last, and a con densed report of which appears in our columns to day, was one of the most enthusiastic that has been known in Liverpool for years. The following points, connected with it, deserve more than a passing attention : In Dr. WNEILE'S correspondence with Mr. CARDWELL, an educational fallacy of a singular kind was pointed out. It seems to be assumed by some, that the Roman Catholics of Ireland must be petted and caressed in order to induce them to patronise the Queen's Colleges, on the same prin ciple as a sulky child is solicited by an over-indul gent mamma not to refuse its breakfast. The Queen's Colleges, on the contrary, cut by the roots the argument of educational necessity in favour of Maynooth in its present state. They should be substitutes, not duplicates; or rather, they furnish a sound literary and scientific educa tion, which is dreaded, but do not give the special ecclesiastical instructions which numerous other Roman Catholic colleges provide for. If the three classes of objections, therefore, were all disproved or removed, which are noticed in the petition— viz., those of history, national policy, and principle —we should come to one of another, but very im portant kind—the necessity for the institution on the ground of educational economics. In Mr. BIRREL'S speech a curious coincidence was noted, which, in the matter of rebellion, has frequently been brought before the public. It was, that concession did not allay party hate, or extin guish the smouldering fires of rebellion : on the contrary, the development of the latter had fol lowed immediately and invariably on the former. Thus in 1795 the College of Maynooth was founded, and in 1845 the annual grant was con verted into a fixed and permanent payment. The interval was exactly half a century. In 1798 Ire land was in open rebellion, and in alliance with foreign states : in 1848 it was in rebellion again, and courting France and America. The interval, as before, was half a century, and though the causes had been accumulating for several years, the fact that the issue followed the educational advantages by three years in each case, is curious and in structive. A third point, which might have been dwelt upon, had there been time for it, is the unfortunate facility with which Popery adapts itself to the cir cumstances of every case. We do not allude to the readiness with which it becomes monarchical or republican, absolute or radical, blessing revolu tionist banners and consecrating trees of liberty to-day, and anon thanking the Virgin and God for a military despotism to-morrow. We allude to the manner in which facts and principles are dealt with. We indulged in a hearty laugh at the pro position of Father IGNATIUS to insinuate Roman Catholic servants into Protestant families, that they might sap the foundations of our religion, especially with the young. The matter became more serious when, a few weeks ago, a renegade to Romanism was detected in his attempts to seduce the youth of one of our public schools, and was exposed and rebuked in the public newspapers. And within the last week a series of letters have appeared in the Times, which elicited the "exclamation in sad ness, " how are the mighty fallen." The Rev. H. W. WILBERFORCE, late Vicar of East Farleigh, in Kent, but now an officer of the Irish " Defence [Offence 2] Association," in lecturing in the county Clare, on the shore of the Atlantic, announced that 300 converts to Popery had been the fruits of a single year in Rugby, and that numerous others were ready to " go over," only that they dreaded the act would destroy their business. Maxwell, in his " Wild Sports of the West," defines a certain district on that side of the Shannon, as bounded by Christendom on the east and north ; but Mr. WILBERFORCE was mistaken, if he th , ought him self beyond question or correction. The Rev. THOMAS PAGE, of St. Matthew's, Rugby, de manded explanation or retraction ; and the lec turer at once disclaimed the statement as his own. There must have been both ventriloquism and for gery at work, therefore, for the whole assembly heard the statement made ; and the printed lecture, with this passage as part of it, is sold in baskets full among the faithful 1 Our charity has long held, in opposition to our reason, that the principles of LIGUORI had not corrupted the Romanists of this country; and we have often defended the disciples of LOYOLA, through our admiration of the clever machinery of their system, and the eminence of many of them in literature and science. Mr. WIL BERFORCE is destined to be the instrument of our conversion; but it will be as a detected false wit ness turns the jury—against his own side. Our fourth remark is on a different subject. During the meeting on Tuesday evening, a man stood in the darkness near the door, distributing papers after the manner of disreputable advertisers; but as they might be programmes of the proceed ings, they were taken freely. On reaching the light they were discovered to be documents from the Anti-Church-Rate Association, and were in general treated as they deserved to be. It is well known that Protestant Dissenters consist of two great classes—commonly called religious and political. While the former were met in common cause with Churchmen, and exhibiting a valued community of sentiment, the latter were, as usual, sowing the seeds of division, and trying to plant their dagger under the fifth rib. We know the extent of their kind wishes, but prefer to acknowledge all such favours face to face in open meeting. It would be easy to reciprocate the compliment; but we hope that Churchmen have too much self-respect, as well as too much honesty, to carry on war during the very hours of truce. THE LATE JUDGE OF THE COUNTY COURT.—The fol lowing letter was received by Mr. Statham, clerk of the County Court holden in this town, yesterday morning, while the court was sitting ; from which it appears that Mr. Ramshay is still determined to persist in his efforts to gain at least notoriety : Temple, London, 20th January, A.D. 1852. To W. Statham, gentleman, clerk of the County Court of Lan cashire, holden at Liverpool. • - Sir,—l hereby order you to adjourn the next County Court of Lancashire, holden at Liverpool, duly fixed and appointed by me to be holden at Liverpool, on the 26th day of January, A.D. 1852, from the said 26th day of January, when it shall be so holden as aforesaid, unto the 23d day of February next, A.D. 1852; and I do order that the same shall be so adjourned accordingly. Signed, WILLIAM RAMSHAY, Judge of the said County Court. CHILD BURNT.—An inquest was holden yesterday at the Coroner's Court, before Mr. Currie, upon the body of Mary Peace, a little girl, about five years old, residing with her parents in Albert-street, roxteth-park. It appeared that on Saturday last the child was playing with the bellows used for quickening the fire, when she put the nose, which proved to be nearly red-hot, into her mouth.

TO CORRESPONDENTS, ERRATUM.—In our article on the Maynooth Question, the i word undergraduates occurs instead of graduates. Our article on the eminent services of Mr. Hartnup, of the Liverpool Observatory, is one of several which we are com pelled to defer. G.W.—The remark was not quite correct, but it was true in general. The colleges 01 the United Kingdom educate for various departments in life, and ecclesiastics have usually studied at one of th"m ; but there are several colleges in England exclusively of an ecclesiastical character. J.S.A.—The matter alluded to is better unnoticed. in- We shall be happy, at all times, to receive communications on subjects of local or general interest ; and if our friends will be good enough to authenticate the same by their signa tures, for our own satisfaction, we shall feel obliged. A FEW WORDS TO THE ENGINEERS A CASE of great hardship was noticed in the news papers last week, yet we do not see what alternative the masters had. Some of the engineers of this town were turned out of employment because they would not disconnect themselves with a society which has done much mischief and threatened more, although it was alleged that their connexion with it was only of the kind of a benefit society. This is sufficient to show the impolicy of uniting two distinct elements, party combination and the business of insurance. Many well-disposed men would be glad to take advantage of the latter, but have no sympathy with the former. There is the advantage, it is true, of cheaper management, when one committee can carry out all the objects; but, besides a disadvantage of this kind, the funds are frittered away by the support of vicious idle ness, and frequently endangered by want of prin ciple and insufficient control. It seems to be forgotten, too, that combinations may take place among more than workmen. The employers may unite, and what then ? Aye, what then ? Starvation is bad enough, then comes humiliation, then the terrible consciousness of utter defeat, and that each must seek another market for his labour, as he has been superseded. Many a man engages in such combinations with out any evil design, but he becomes part of a great system, which, like fire or water, is a good servant but a bad master. He ascends a locomotive to carry him more rapidly to his destination ; but, not understanding the regulation of the power, he is destroyed. The combination in Ireland presents strong fea tures of identity with that in England, though each has its special points. In Ireland, land is the subject on which the many would make their own laws; in England it is machinery and labour. In both, a temporal advantage is sought, but it is bound up with illegal principles and practices. When a private code is at variance with the laws of the land, its punishments of course are private ; and hence we have the secret assassination of the one country, represented in the other by vitriol throwing, physical outrage, destruction of mills, engines, and lives. Let the principles only be car ried out, and a reign of terror similar to that which has long been known on the other side of the channel will be introduced here. There is a singular inconsistency in working men endeavouring to establish restrictive regulations, showing us how selfishness blinds the understand ing. In their name and by their aid the battle of the Anti-corn Law League was fought; and the right even of nations was denied to interfere be tween the buyer and seller. The progress of knowledge, they said, has shown that the attempt to fix the price of a loaf by act of parliament, or to settle the value of a sheep, was always a failure; and none are so ready in their appeals to these facts, real or imaginary, as ordinary workmen. Now, in the name of truth and honesty, let us carry out some principle; let us have several sets of restric tive laws, not one ; or, if we must be free traders, let it be throughout. But we protest against this perpetual antagonism of principle and practice. "A big loaf" was long the cry, and they possess the advantage of it ; then why bolster up the labour market with artificial rules, instead of allowing it to regulate itself by the known principle of supply and demand. Hitherto it has been usual for property to em ploy labour, but of late years there has been a movement in order to effect a change, so that labour shall employ property. In other words, workmen were to combine, to form a large com pany with small shares, and to reap the profits which are swallowed up in numerous cases, as they say, by a single man. The result of these co-ope rative associations is anything but promising; in the majority of cases they have been broken up by the suspicions and jealousies of the members, and the funds have been lost. It is easy to exclaim against capitalists, but what is to be done without them ? Is the beggary of the disturbed districts of Ireland to be preferred, where capital is kept away ? Have Englishmen never read the old fable of. the stomach and limbs, which converted the grumbling Roman citizens in half an hour, and brought them back in peace from Mount Sacer to the city ? On the subject of the co-operative associations, the workmen ought to read one of the Messrs. Chambers' recent issue of cheap tracts. It is from the pen of Mr. Thomas Hogg, late secre tary to the Union of Mechanics' Institutions in Lancashire and Cheshire, and presents what Wal ter Gerard discovered in the census tables, " very instructive reading." LOUIS NAPOLEON IN LONDON. Louis Napoleon was in London. on a flying visit, on Monday last. We have good authority for stating the fact, incredible as it may appear. He went back, as he came, in disguise; his business being of a strictly private nature. What that business was, we are, of course, unable to say. We can only conjecture—from the romantic attachment known to subsist between the Prince Presi dent and the Marquis of Normanby—that the recent desertion of that nobleman has deeply affected the heart of his bosom-friend, and that he found the impulse to follow him irresistible. Whether Pylades and Orestes met, and if so, how they met, and how they parted, " this deponent saith not."—John Bull. ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.—On Sunday morning a very able and expressive appeal was made on behalf of tbe Orphan Boys' Asylum, by the Rev. G. W. Warr, the minister of the above church. About fifty of the boys were present, and their exceedingly neat appearance and decorous behaviour created much interest, and reflected great credit on the conductors of the institution. A liberal collection was made. ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH SUNDAY AND DAY SCHOOLS —Sermons were preached on Sunday last in St. Philip's, and St. John the Evangelist's, and collections made to aid in defraying the debt incurred by the purchase of the building in Pleasant-street, commonly known as Provi dence Chapel, formerly belonging to the Baptists, and its adaptation for schools for the accommodation of about 400 children. The morning sermon at St. Philip's was preached by the Rev. Dr. Hook, vicar of Leeds. Sunday being the " festival of the conversion of St. Paul," the Rev. Dr. directed the attention of his audience to the conversion of St. Paul ; and in the ever.ing, at St. John the Evangelist's, continued the subject. Two more powerful appeals could scarcely have been made than these. The subject of conversion was treated in a manner exhi biting all the talent of a profoundly read divine, and all the deep feeling and earnest zeal of a devoted and pious minded minister of Christ. Long will these two sermons remain in the minds of those who had the privilege of hearing them. On both occasions the churches were crowded ; and numbers were compelled to turn back from St. John's in the evening, seeing the impossibility of obtain ing accommodation. The afternoon sermon at St. Philip's was preached by the Rev. J. Baylee, the principal of St. Aidan's College, and respected incumbent of Holy Trinity Church, Birkenhead. Mr. Baylee dwelt more fully upon the duty of educating the children of our poorer brethren around us than did Dr. Hook. He took as his text the appeal of our Saviour to Simon Peter, and his command, " Feed my lambs." The sermon was very impressive, and well calculated to produce a lasting and beneficial effect upon his hearers. We believe the collec tions at St. Philip's amounted to X7l and some shillings, and the collection at St. John the Evangelist's, in the evening, to about £33, making a total of upwards of £lOO. About £4OO is still requisite to complete this praiseworthy and important undertaking. It is only a small sum to raise among those of our own townspeople who have the means of helping on this good work, and who feel the necessity there is for using every effort at the present day to afford the vast numbers of poor children congregated around them, and, in many instances, almost at their own doors, the opportunity, at least, of acquiring such an education as shall render them useful and respectable members of the community in the station of life in which it has pleased an over-ruling Providence to place them, — teaching them their own responsibility as immortal beings, and lead them from the degrading paths of sin and misery, and eternal death, to the ways of holiness, happi ness and heaven.

Between 4,000 and 5,000 persons were present. The Customs' returns for December exhibit a trifling decline upon the corresponding period of the previous year. The Globe's correspondent says, it is rumoured that De Morny will return, almost immediately, to the Ministry of the Interior; and that there will be some modification of the decree respecting the Orleans family. The influx of strangers continues. 12,000 arrived on the 23d. Fives were done on Sunday at 102 15.

Amongst the latter was Mr. Thomas Charlton, Bearer of Dispatches to the United States Go vernment.—The United States steam• ship Pacific, Nye, commander, will sail from the Mersey for New York to morrow (Wednesday) with the mails, &c. SERIOUS DISASTER TO THE STEAM-SHIP LEEDS.—The steam-ship Leeds, Captain Stokes, belonging to the City of Dublin Steam-ship Company, which on Friday last sailed from Dublin to this port, sprung a leak at four o'clock on Saturday morning, when about twenty miles to the S.W. of Point Lynes, owing to the extremely boisterous state of the weather. About eighty persons were on board at the time, including crew and passengers, together with a large number of cattle, and a general cargo. As soon as the leak was discovered the pumps were brought into requisition, but in a few minutes they became choked, and a subsequent attempt which was made to bail out the water with buckets failed. The engine fires were therefore in a short time put out, and the steamer was thus left wholly to the mercy of the waves. Signals of distress were hoisted, and guns were fired, which are said to have been observed by two vessels who, however, took no notice of the facts. The passengers, who were compelled to remain on deck on account of the cabins being full of water, suffered severely, both front with ssteamer, as the weather and from mental apprehension and anxiety, on learning the extent of till about mid-day, when the American ship Empire State, Captain Russell, from New York, for this port, ng c t a h p e ta s in ign lt al os bore down to every assistance in his power ; and the tmhhooevset unfortunate i p n r s a i spebowt possible, praiseworthy hi deey: steam-ship. sent nun o m-t b s soahenffi r pi v t. t i y ' him her boats, conveying passengers, who were all got safe on board damage sustained by the Leeds,. lay to, for the purpose of the tn time Stokes h e s e was did the so theast person wae r to w leave a a v h e o the ve her Leeds, forecastle t har h ese e nrsdo E ceor ro rnein p w ' ag i s re an S d tate by seven o'clock in the evening. deck.. It is but justice to add that all the parties re ceived on board the Empire State were treated with the utmost kindness by Captain Russell, and provided with everything which their immediate wants required. Some auCdapa time afterwards the Leeds was boarded by a boats' crew from the steam-ship Rose, Captain Turnbull, from Glas gow, which arrivel in the Mersey on Sunday afternoon, when Captain Turnb u ll a dd resse d t ne f o ll ow i ng letter to the Underwriters'-room s :—" G en tl emen ,-1 beg toin form you that I sent our st ar b oar d lif e boat on board th e steamer Leeds, at nine o ' c l oc k this (Sunday) mor n i ng. She had signals of dist re s s flying, and was appa ren tl y i n a sinking state. The boat returned and reported that there was no person on board. The forecastle deck was about three feet under water, and the fore half-deck a wash. The cattle in the lower hold were all drowned, and floating about. Of course I gave up all idea of taking the Leeds in tow. I spoke the Royal William, and told them that the Leeds was abandoned, and that I had left her about twenty-five miles N. by W. from the Bell Buoy.—Signed t JAMES TURNBULL, steamer Rose."— It was the opinion of the parties on board the Rose that the Leeds must sink before any assistance could reach her. She was a very old vessel, but we have no informa tion whether or not she was insured. We are happy to state that shortly after the arrival of the Rose, the pas sengers and crew of the Leeds were landed at this port/ from the Empire State.
