COMMENCEMENT OF THESE BYE-LAWS. 56. That these Bye-laws shall commence and take effect upon the twelfth day of September next. JAMES LAWRENCE, Chairman of the Markets Committee. By order of the Council and of the Committee, RD. RADCLIFFE, Town Clerk. MR. GIBSON, THE SCULPTOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—The writer of an article in a late number of the Liverpool Courier properly lauds Mr. Gibson, the sculp tor ; but he is wanting in his facts, and falls short, in some respects, in speaking of Mr. Gibson, who, by his own exertions, has raised himself to distinction in his profession. Mr. Gibson's father was one of the warehousemen of Messrs. Ewart, Rutson, and Co. ; he bound his son as an apprentice to Messrs. Southwell and Wilson, cabinet makers: whilst young Gibson was thus employed, being acquainted with some of the young people in the employ of Messrs. Franceys, the marble cutters, he was in the habit of frequently passing his evenings in their workshop, when Mr. Franceys, observing his juvenile efforts to model, and being pleased with his manner, asked him if he would like to learn their business, to which Gibson is said to have replied that he would, but could not, as he was then bound to Messrs. Southwell and Wilson ; in consequence Mr. Franceys went to Mr. Southwell and purchased his indenture, for which, it has been stated, he gave a sum somewhere about £7O. The young man was thus introduced into a field better suited to his taste and genius, where he rapidly advanced in his acquirements; he was patronized by Mr. Roscoe in particular; and, whilst under Mr. Franceys, was em ployed by Mr. Gladstone to execute a marble chimney piece, that was placed in a house, belonging to that gentleman, in Rodney-street, and for which mantel-piece Mr. Franceys received the sum of one hundred guinesa. To have kept Mr. Gibson in Liverpool would have been placing a light under a bushel, and a purse was made to send him to finish his studies at Rome, to which Mr. Roscoe, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Lawrence, and others con tributed, and particularly a young friend of Gibson's, who was then an apprentice in the office of llessrs. Ewart, Myers, and Co.—Mr. Duncan Milligan. Mr. Gibson went to Rome in 1817, and remained in Italy until the present year, following up his profession with great ability and high reputation. Undeniable, however, as his merit is in his profession, he is not without a rival,—Mr. Macdonald, who is also a resident at Rome, being consi dered by many judges to be fully equal to Gibson in single figures and groups, and his superior in the execu tion of busts. There was in the Trafalgar-square Exhibition of this season a spirited work of a high class, ropresenting a hunter with his dog, executed by Gibson, for Mr. Henry Sandbach, of Liverpool—and also a colossal statue of the late Mr. Huskisson, understood to have been done at Mrs. Huskisson's expense, and intended to be placed in the long room of the Liverpool Custom-house, where it will require a pedestal of considerable elevation to be seen to advantage. The execution of this work does not ap pear to be a successful effort ; the likeness has been pro nounced by some who were intimately acquainted with Mr. Huskiason in his lifetime as inferior, and the attitude and costume do not appear to be in good taste. These defects are the more to be regretted, as in the event of the statue of Mr. Canning, by Chantrey, being removed from the Town. hall to the Custom-house, (which has been suggested, as a building for which the town was indebted to Mr. Canning's exertions,) the striking power and talent displayed in the execution of that work will probably lead to a comparison which is likely to be unfavourable to the effort of Mr. Gibson. A subscription was originated by Mr. Gladstone to have a statue of his late friend, Mr. Kirkman Finlay, of Castle Toward, executed in marble, and placed in the Exchange room of Glasgow, and for that purpose about £1,300 were raised. I believe that Mr. G. with other subscribers, as well as the family of Mr. Finlay, were desirous that this work should have the advantage of being executed by Mr. Steel, a highly talented sculptor, resident at Edin burgh, who is now employed at the equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, and that of Sir Walter Scott, both to be erected in Edinburgh ; but a portrait painter of Glasgow, Mr. Graham, a friend of Mr. Gibson's, and a subscriber of ten guineas to the fund, though opposed by the Duke of Hamilton and other local subscribers, was so industrious in his canvass for proxies and local support that he succeeded in obtaining a majority of votes for em ploying Mr. Gibson, who is to execute the work at Rome, as I have been informed, from a model sent or to be sent to him, made or making by a young artist under Gra ham's superintendence. For the satisfaction and credit of the subscribers I only hope that he may be more suc cessful than he has been in Mr. Huskisson's colossal statue. For this work, when finished and delivered some three years hence, Mr. Gibson is, I understand, to receive the whole money subscribed. If there should be any thing incorrect in what I have stated in this letter, perhaps Mr. Gibson, should he happen to see it, may take the trouble to set me right; but, in justice to him and to others, I shall be glad that sou give this letter a place in an early number of your paper.

NEW MEDAL BY WILLIAM WYON.—The production of a new medal by Wyon now excites as much attention in the world of art as the appearance of a bust by Chantrey used to do ; though until the fame of the English medal list spread abroad this difficult and delicate art was con sidered peculiar to the Continent. The medal has this advantage over the bust that it can be multiplied at little cost; like a copper or steel plate, the impressions from it are the test of the artist's skill. But the amount of labour and skill that goes to the production of a medal is known but to few : first, there is the invention and arrangement of the designs—then the modelling of them in wax—and last, not least, the execution of the dies. Nor does the art stop here, for the striking of the impressions is a pro cess requiring great nicety and experience. The new medal by Mr. William Wyon, of which a proof-impression, in gold, is before us, is a massive one of large dimensions, designed and executed by him for the Liverpool Ship wreck and Humane Society—we presume, to bestow upon persons who have been instrumental in saving lives en dangered by shipwreck or accidents at sea. The obverse represents a sailor kneeling on a f ragmen t o f a wrec k, rescuing an infant and its mother from drowning: a boat in the distance appears manned by a crew similarly en gaged; and beyond is seen a s hip on th e h or i zon. The composition of the principal group and the modelling of the figures are beautiful : the mother with both hands lifts her child above the waves, the sailor supporting her with one hand while with the other be holds the half-dead in fant. The modelling of the man and the child is exquisite : the vigorous action of the muscles of the back and arms is represented with masterly anatomical skill; and the rounded fleshy form of the child by contrast increases the appearance of manly strength. The mother's head and hands are only visible above the water. The style is classic in its simplicity and purity; and the effect of ro tundity in the forms is conveyed by the delicacy with which the relief is graduated, so that the outline is not harsh but partakes of the fleshiness of the surface. The distant boat's crew is indicated distinctly, and with an effect of aerial perspective quite marvellous, considering the extent of the actual space between them to be con veyed in a metallic substance by form alone : the liquid undulation of the waves, too, is beautifully represented. The reverse is a crest, encircled by a wreath of oak wrought with great richness and boldness of relief : the effect of " under-cutting" is given ; though of course this is illusion, as the prsssure of the die is vertical. Those to whom this medal shall be awarded are to be envied the possession of such a token of their courage and humanity. THE WAGES OF PROSTITUTION.—SureIy there are no sinners so earnestly commended by the loving kindness of our Lord to the pity and charity of Christians ; for there are no sinners who by the usages of the world are so absolutely lost, so cast out of its sight, so abandoned to the bitterness of their own tormented soul. A fallen woman the world counts it righteous to forsake and scorn. Even her own kindred turn their backs, and shut the door of home upon her. None meet a harder judgment, or more unequal measures from the world. Great and deadly indeed their sin has been, and fearfully are they made to answer for it. None are to be pitied more : none are more sinned against. Even the most abandoned were once purer than the possessed being by whom they were betrayed. They were, perhaps, the weak and shrink ing objects of temptation. It may be, some base superior who held them in check by fear, and awed them into crime; or the vile example of a mother, or the hateful trafficking of a parent was their ruin. Multitudes may be said to perish against their will—decoyed or forced into the pit. Sometimes out of such beginnings, when the habit of inward chastity has as y e t been hardly breathed upon, the whole is lost, and they are launched into a career of daring and reckless profligacy. Shame ' fear , horror, bar up their return. The drop has fallen ; behind them is a gulf they cannot pass; retreat is all cut off. There seems now to be nothinz left but to hurry onward unto death; to fling themselves headlong upon the whirlpool, that they may stun the recollection of pu rity, the very consciousness of guilt. God alone is wit ness of the groanings which are breathed unknown, and the burning tears which are shed in the very depths of impurity. What harrowing recollections of faces dearly loved, last seen in anguish, of the fresh years of early childhood, and the hopes and joys and fair prospects of an innocent and gentle life all seared and blaste d, come back upon them in the hours of unholy revel, to be their mockery and torment ! No eye but His can read the vision of home and happy days, which rise upon their desolate hearts in the tumult and darkness of these crowded streets, and the agonizing dreams of a blessed. ness no longer theirs, by which their broken sleep is haunted. None other but He can know what unutterable agony goes up by day and by night from the loathsom e chambers and pestilential dens in which these homeless, hopeless, decaying mortals hide themselves in misery to die. And what a death is the death of an harlot !—when the baffled heart wanders in dreams of sickness to die in the home of its birth, and wakes up from the happiness of delirium to madden itself again in the sights and sounds which harass its miserable death-bed,—when the eye strains itself in vain for the vision of a mother's pitying face, and the ear is sick with listenin g for t he coming of brother, husband, child, whose footfall shall be heard never again! Then comes death; and after death, the judgment, and the great white throne on which He sitteth from whose face both heaven and earth shall flee away. Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon them and upon us in that day !"—Archdea. con Sinclair. WHY IS THE BRITISH SOLDIER CLOTHED IN RED ?

CORNS AND BUNIONS PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND i s a sure and d speedy cure for those severe annoyances, without causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies for Corns, its operation is such as to render the cutting of Corns altogether unnecesluf-a—indeed, we may say, the practice of cutting corweris at all times highly dangerous, and has been frequently attended with lamen table consequences, besides its liability to increase their growth. It adheres with the most gentle pressure, pro ducing an instant aria delightful relief from torture, and, with perseverance in its application, entirely eradicates the most inveterate Corns and Bunions. EXTRAORDINARY TESTIMONIALS. From Dr. Cummins, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence at the Aldersgate School of Medicine. Dr. Cummins presents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to inform him that his Every Man's Friend has entirely taken away his Corns, and he has recommended it to several of his friends and patients, and in no one instance has it failed in eradicating both Corns and Bunions. From Dr. Ley, Midwifery Lecturer at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Dr. Ley presents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to inform him that his Corn Plaster has taken away his Corns.

THE DERBY.—We did not hear one offer. SECOND ESCAPE OF MR. DYCE SOMBRE.—On Tues day Mr. Dyce Sombre left his lodgings in the Haymarket, followed, as usual, by one of his attendants, and pro ceeded in the direction of Piccadilly. Near, if not in, the Burlington-arcade, he contrived to give his atten dant the slip, and he has not since been heard of, although the most active measures have, doubtless, been taken to discover his retreat. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.-WEST CUMBER LAND.—During the last six weeks it may be said that the clouds have literally dropped down fatness, and all kinds of grain never looked so well. A good deal of Barley and Oats are already cut, and another week will see us all in the midst of harvest. Three or four weeks of fine weather will see all in, and, as far as this district is concerned, far above an average crop.

The church was densely crowded. Prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Monk, the curate assisting at the Communion ser vice. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Whit taker, from the 2nd chapter of the first Epistle general of St. Peter and the latter part of the lith verse : Fear God : Honour the King." The discourse, which was of a very elaborate and discursive nature, referring back to the ecclesiastical and common laws in the first and second cen turies, and then coming down from the days of Constantine to the monarchy and government under which we live at present, was lucid in its composition, and argumentative in its reasoning; and we believe the preacher bad the honour of being complimented by the Chief-Baron at the conclusion of the service, on its research and appli cability,
