IS with great pleasure we are-enabled to inforM our protes- . taut readers that the subscription for the completion of this Christian testimonial in 'memory of one of the most exemplary prelales of our time, and one especially dear in all the relations of private life, is proceeding most favourably. To the immediate surviving relatives of Dr. Ryder, this marked tribute of affectionate esteem,. must be especially gratifying, and to all those wile, during a life of unaffected piety and truly charitable bearing, -or even the acquaintance of the late Bishop; whether as eterical or lay brethren of our establishment, or the conscientious members of that body, not strictly within her pak, but towards whom he invariably extend ed the right hand of fellowship,. in the bond of brotherly love, such a minister wilibe particularly endearing; and, whilst he " rests from his labours". the spirit which has left its earthly tabernacle may be said to hover over the spot where he last stood; and a perpetuity of good to thousands yet unborn will arise through the foundation of that holy edifice which is designed to record the me mory of the.just and prOmote the cause of our God and Saviour! We -must congratulate our many conserva tive and Christian friends in : the opulent town of Bir mingham on its altered-condition- from that of " Newall bill" demagogueistn ; whilst the cause of our church Therein , has received a fresh -impulse from the rabid as saults of her enemies, and the. underworkings of the Socinian and the papist ; and the venom of the infidel, - arrayed - against her honour and her usefulness, have re coiled upon themselves.; nor- .does our distant locality lessen our_ warm .sympathy and desire to aid iter_progress —there is •an -identity of interest and a.,coinmunity of object, rendered doubly -impressive at this period ani mosity against our church and state institutions; and we take this opporturiity of assuring our kind protestant friends in Birmingham and Dudley, and throughout the . kingdom, that the . Lim:Toot,. STANDARD will unflinch ingly do its duty. -in defence of our " altars and our hearths," wherever and bi whomsoever assailed . We wish to direct the attention of our townsmen to the advertisement, which appears in another column, an nouncing the intended dinner at the Amphitheatre of the Tradesmen's.

LAUNCH OR A STEAM VassEL.--On Monday last, at twelve o'clock, a very splendid steam vessel, of about 250 tons rogister, was launched from the Herculaneum Building-yard. The rot lowing.dimensinns Will convey an idea of the . magnitude of this vessel. She is 120 feet in length, and 2ti . feet beam. She will be propelled by two , engines of 60 horse !Mier each. The builder is Mr. Jatne ' s Gordon. She has been named by the Owner, Duncan Gild), Esq., the Juhu Macadam, after a gentle man who has been a liberal contributor to ne:ivly all our chari table institutions. DEATH FROM PotsoN.—An inquest involving a very serious charge, was. held. on Wednesday, before Curry, Esq., touching the death of, a mak Add, five months old, named Thomas -lenry, who from the surgeon's evidence, it appeared, had died in consequence of having taken poison. furruthed iu mistake for a narcotic draught, by a druggist's apprentice in this town, on Sunday last. The inquest was adjourned till yes terday,.and further adjourned to this morning, at eleven o'clock, to afford time for analyzing the remainder of the mixture taken by the child, We refrain from publishing the particulars till the fesult of the inquiry shall have transpired. REVISION of THE 13cRGESS LIST.—The Mayor on Wednes day posted a notice at the gates of the Townhall, signifying his intention, along with the two assessors of his ward, of holding a, .court on Saturday (to-morrow,) at ten o'clock, for the purpose, 'of revising the list of burgesses. The act requires that " three clear days' notice of thelrolding, of Strch.court" shall be " fixed 'up in soine conspicuous situation within the borough," and that )this open court for the revision of the burgess list shall be held '" between the first day of October inclusive, and the 15th day October inelusive.' 7l It will be seen, that the provisions of the act have been very barely complied with. We warn the . conservative burgesses aho have clainii orobjections to make to he on the alert. . • We yesterday visited the Alungo steam .packet, lately pur- Thased by Capt.

Exiitarrtoist.--The exhibition of paintings ° continues to be very well attended; when the weather is fine it is freßaently crowded. It 'forms a most delightful lounge.

The light and shade are so ad mirably adapted as to give it th e p os i t i ve appearance o f sub stance.

Last .night we witnessed ShakSpeare.'s splendid tragedy of King Lear," the part of King Lecir by Mr. Kean, of Edgar' by Mr. Stuart, and of Cordelta by Miss raucit. This tragedy has been under rehearsal several times -,luring this week. The arduous part taken by Mr.-Kean was it great effort of talent, and was ab:y sustained throng - bout. He was frequently greeted by the loud applause of the audience. The lateness of the hour and the crowded state of our columns prevent us giving a lengthened critique; but we shall notice this play at greater length when it is repeated, which we understand it is to be shortly. The house was well attended. THE FESTIVAL. The town begins to present an unusual blistlieg,and Animated, appearance ; parties of 'strangeis are flocking in, and lounging about the streets, examining the finery with which- the various .shop windows are beginning to be filled.. The shops in Bold street, ,Lord - -street, and Qastle.street, in which fa . ncy. dresses are exhibited, attract crowds of admirers around their windows. Al:kady great numbers of tickets , have been-bought, arta' the busy note of preparation is every were sounded. The arrange ments making fir the Fancy Balli• are on-an unusually splendid scale. It is 'intend:et! to - connect the •Exchange News-room, -. and ,the Underwriters-rooin, which:has been id,erally granted, by galleries, with the entertaining-rooms ; in the.-Town-hall. There will be two distinct ga!leries'extending accross the i area 'Of the. Exchange, one of which will connect the Underwriters room, and the principal- bal!.ionin of- the -Towe-hal', and the ether, the back of the Exchange News.routn, through the win dowi, to the winds ‘k-S'ef . the Town-hall; the whole will.tlien be coane;ted, together en .sitite,ih7tthat.Tarties first entering the magnificent entrance sakion, need not retrace their steps until • they .have comp - eted the . whele - circuit•of the rooms, a prome nade- of nearly 'of a - . quarter •of. , a' mile in length; the whale forming a suite of anartuients unequalled by any. in the kingdom. -The coteinittee have made Pt4i'y exertion to-obtain substitutes for the loss of MAdame'Malibrati and-M. de Beriot, :bv. the late. most melancholy death of the former; s.urt, as will be seen by the announcements - ,. have already eng , aged Madame Caradiiri Allan, who most handsomely placed her services at the disposal of the committee on their first application. . The music which will be brought nut will, we doubt not, raise our festival much in the opinion of the musical world,-and will render it inferior to none of the provincial festivals; but we trust will place us. as we ought to be at the head, The new "Ora turn' of St. Paul," by MendelsShon, will be brought out here for the first time in this country. The manner in which -it is • spoken of in the musical critiques of the day, give promise of a high treat to these 'who intend patronisiin , the festival. The other musical selections have also' been made with much judg ment, and we doubt nut will amply fulfil -the expectations which I have been raised. TOXTETH-PARK BAZAAR. Yesterday the bazaar, for which the industrious fingers of the ladies of Toxteth-park and neighbourhood have for sonic time past been busily employed, the proceeds of which are to be ap propriated to the benevolent purpose of erecting a National School to be attached to St. John the Baptist's Church, at Toxteth-park, was opened at the Union News Room, Duke street. The district of Toxteth-park is inhabited by several thousands of poor, who at present are but inadequately provided with mental food; in ord-r to raise funds for building a school to obviate this mental dearth, the Rev. J Hassell and se veral of his congregation have been indefatigable iu promot-, ing the present uazaar, and we may add, 'so far as we can. now form an opinion, their efforts liave been crowned with splendid success. So far as the bazaar itself goes, and the attractions exhibited to lure willing._ contributions front the purses of the visitors, weliave never seen the present surpassed. The innumerable little ornaments which usually mnstitute bazaar are here many of them of a very . superiordescription, and reflect the highest credit on the fair artists. We feel almost at a loss which gems first to note and describe to our readers. The most pi oininent, and one of the most attractive tables, bears.the present of her gracious' Majesty the Queen, who has conde scended to honour:with her patronage this exertion in the good cause. It consists °ran exceeding; y 3 ,hirtid.sOne embroidered cushion, a pair of ernbroiAred bell.rtipp,s of similar pattern, tWo richly-embroidered'work-bags, and 'Mt' tun stand, also of- etn:. broidery. The whole are intended Wire , pat up this day, to be raffled for in' 3(X) tickets, at 10s. each„ We need not add that 'the richness of the prize, the reinembrance of -tfi&'cause for which it is given, and the hope of'.obtaining some of the work manship of the reigning Queen, draws ready subscribers to the raffle. • Nearly the whole of the tickets have already been dis posed of. Near this splendid present is a very handsome Otto , man, which is also intended to be raffled forte-day, made by Lady Skelinersdale, - and on the same table are a number of fancy ornaments, the gift and workmanship of Lady s . 4ndon. To the right of the entrance are two exquisite modellings in wax of a Turkish chief and a Circassian lady in full costume, the work of Mrs. Banner, which is to be raffled for. Passing round, on Mrs. Sheppard's table is a model, in wax, of the champion of England, dressed, us at the Coronation of George IV., in a complete suit of anneal!, on horseback, and having on each side two equerries similarly habited--the whole very beautifully finished: This is intended to be raffled for to-day, and is va lued at five guineas. A scene from Shakspeare's " Mid-' summer Night's Dream," representing several fairies in the wood, and a nursery scene with the figures in wax, both made also by Mrs. Sheppard, are deserving of particular notice.. ' At this labia there is also same very splendid embroidery work intended for a screen, by Miss Hindley, and a very beautiful landicape drawing by Miss Woodville, also a quantity of very superiorly finished work by Miss Broughton—all of which do each of these ladies much credit. We shou:d not forget to mention a number -of very finely finished flowers by Miss Hindley. Their, manufacture evinces perfection in the art. At the next tab.e is a very splendid embroidered cushion on white silk canvas, by Mrs. Augustus Campbell. Passing on is a beautifully embroidered ottoman, by Mrs. Hargreaves, in the centre of another table of endless varieties. The tables of Mrs. Trottnan. Miss Bird, and Mrs. Ortt also exhibit many handsome and cue ty ornaments of ladies workmanship. A very excellent band of music is stationed behind the building, which enlivenes the scene with many beautiful airs, and in one corner of the room is a very handsome set out of refreshments, confection aries, &c. From the opening, at eleven o'clock, until five the room continued crovided, especially from twelve o'clock until four. • Lord de Tahley and Sir Phillip Egerton and party vi sited the room during the day. The total amour t collected at the doors, vestercla:y i was about £80; we have not ascertained, the proceeds of the day's sale, -but believe the earn to be cousj 7 derable. „ SPECIAL VESTRY MEETING. Yesterday. at one o'clock, a special vestry meeting was held at St: Nicholas' Church, convened by public announcement, for the purpose' "of laying a rate of one penny in the pound for the service of the present year." At one o'clock the Rev. Rector Brooks took the chair. About 100 persons were then assembled: • Mr.:l4owndes, theNestry 7 clerk, having read the notice convening the meeting-- Mr. Churchwaideu SHAK O rose and said, before proceeding, he would request the minutes of the last vestry meeting, held at Easter, to be read. A motion by Mr. Finney, from the minutes; "That a church rate of one penny itt the pound be laid," and an amendment, moved by Mr. James Brancker, "That the laying of the rate he postponed till after the present session of Parliament, and that alley' th-en no farther opposition be made to it," and the minute, that. "the motion was withdrawn on this understand ing," were then read. Mr. Stis'N o then said, the meeting had heard the minutes of the proceedings which occurred at the Easter meeting read, which imposen the duty on him of moving ' for a rate of one penny in the pound. This rate the meeting of last Easter bad a.-ceeded to, provided. Parliament did not legislate to provide some fund to obviate the necessity of imposing the rate. Par- Lament not having'done so, he should move, "That a church rate of one penny in the pound be laid for the service of the present year." Ile hoped, this rate would be laid by that vestry as the question had been discussed so amicably before. At the same time it was perfectly competent for any gentleman to move any amendment they might think proper; but he hoped the motion would pass without 'any opposition. Perhaps, On another Occasion, there would be no necessity for bringing for ward any such measure. He hoped the vestry, on this occasion, would redeem what he considered as a pledge, without any further comment. _ _ Mr. Waxtivsort seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN having put the motion to the meeting, and havink enquired. if there was any objection to it, to which there was no reply, declared the resolution unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN then said he believed that that was the only question to come before the Vestry, and, therefore, it was now dissolved. Mr. SHAND then moved a vote of thanks to the chair, and the meeting separated. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

" Five pair a-day I—how can you possibly require such a quantity ?"

MR. M'NEILE'S SERMON TO THE CRIJRCEI OE ENGLAND BENEFIT SOCIETY. the prophets. Even the, rightegusnes of God, which is ,by faith - of Jesus. Christ „Onto all, and upon all them that believe,, for there is no difference." In this respect therell no difference: in many other respects there are; but in this respect there is no difference between the felons in our gaol and the merchant in our counting-houses—between the most moral man and the most profligate. In this respect there is no difference between the harlots in our streets and the ladies in our drawing-rooms—not a particle, for all have sinned and came short of the glory of God. The question is not how far short? it is have they come short at all All have sinned, and have come short of tile glory of God, and are justified freely by his works through the.redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Here is the treasure Here is the Eternal treasure of free forgiveness of sin by the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. *•* * * We are enabled, by a little exertion, to s lav before our readers a report (as ample as time would permit) of the-sermon preached last evening to the membeie of the Church of England Benefit Society, by the Rev. Finish M'Neile, at St. Jude's Chureir. We believe that the Rev. Gentleman was applied to and readily gave hit assent to address the members of the society on its anniversary; oil the moral effects which such au institution was calculated_ to produce on its members. We earnestly recom mend the perusal of the following outline of the most excellent serinoii'delieered, and trust that it will be read not only with attention, but- with profit, by numbers of the middle classes, for whose .especial guidance it was delivered. The Rev.-Gentleman took his text from the 6th' chapter of St. Matthews' at the 19th and two following verses, " Lav not up for yeeirselves treasures upon earth, where meth and rust cloth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal, but lay uti . for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust cloth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal ; for where your. treasure is, there will your heart be also." - M.y dear. Brethren,—You already know the cause of our de parture this evening from our usual course of scriptural inter pretation.: You are apprised by public notice, that it is toy intention to address myself this evening to the members of a society farmed 'amongst us, called the Church of England Benefit Society Btit none of vou need on that account enter tain the slighest apprehension that I shall not address myself to you.; If there were any thing in the constitution of the society in questien', • in its present position, or the objects which it eon templates to carry into effect, to render an address to the meense hers of it at ,all incompatible with the preaching of God's word to yo.ta all; I would never consent to address, them from this Place ; but there 'isl e no such thing, on the *contrary, I have good hope, through grace, that the • society question, will afford a valuable -opportunity for addressing to the reenibers ofe it e and to ypu ails some of the vital truths of the everlasting• gospel, cf. the Grace of God. The - Church of Stigland Benefit Society was instituted in the year 1807, the object that it, contemplates, is here stated in its original address : " We the members of this society (considering the many ac cidents men in this transitory life are daily subject to, and as it is commendable to alleviate as much as ppssihte the visitations of Providence) do resolve to adhere to all and every one of the rules here following, honing by this means we may be enabled to support each other, in relieving our sick, burying our dead, and relieving the widow and the fatherless: for which purpose we have formed ourselves into a society, to be called "rhe Church of England Benefit Society;' trusting front the purity of our intentions, and by our prudent rules and Stated meetings, we may promote the advantage andhappiness of each member, soften their cares, and render life more pleasing and happy." Persons admissible as members into the society are thus de scribed :—" Respectable tradesmen, mechanics, clerks, &c., between the ages of 18 and 35, are admitted into this society, provided they are of good motel character, sound health, and members of the established church of England." The rules are too long to be read now. Printed copies may be obtained from the secretary of the society by any' person who may wish to be come a member when vacancies occur. I may say further, however, that in consonance with • an act of parliament, inti tituled "An act to consolidate and amend the laws relating - te friendly 'societies," the existing rulei of the Church of Eng-. I land Society were, on the sth day of July, 1831, altered and i 'an - tended accerding to the provisions of that act, and the rules so amended were certified by the cleile o the peace. Such, in brief terms, is the society which solicits our-notice this evening, and a considerable portion of the mambas's; of. which are now sat amongst us. To them and to you all I would now address with solemnity and affection the langttage' ofeoesest Lord Jesus Christ, as related in our text :--" yourselves treasures on earth, where the rust and eantlidoth attar rope and where thieves break through arid steal ;"bllt lay uriCtri Yourselves treasures in Iletiven, where neither foist nor moth 'cloth eorrupa e and where thieves do not break through ands ; steal." You-observe iii these words which Jesus'-speaks that; there are twos descripti ins of treasures. The first' earthly, and=•. such as may lee -corrupted or stolen; the tecond Eleeveely, which( cannot' be corrupted or stolen,. But he plainly c inimands' his disciples nckt, to lay up for themselves`theformer, and as plainly commandt ahem to lay for themselves the latter, and thou he adds a very importing reason . for 'beth. of these 'comae matidietents, namely, " That where their trett - seire is there will their heart be also." NOW every ,Man has his trease sure-, in 'the present or in the anticipated enjoyment of which . he. takes delight; awl whatever this treasure is, or whereierit ie laid up, ithas an attractive power over this man's heart, - and draws the heart towards it. The actions of the heart are itl thoughts and feelings; and, asthese thoughts and -feelings get into motion, their tendency is to go aowards the treasury. There is an affinity of resationship between the treasure and the heart, arid the heart points out the way of the thoughts and the feelings, and wherever the treasure is there will the heart be also. Now, the state of a man's heart is the main point; as the heart is, so is the man in the sight of God. As the heart should be, so must the man be thrOughout eternity, both body and soul. 'Therefore it is not a light matter, but a matter of eternal consequence to every one of yoti, thee yo.te treasure should be t , cl ,4 an it d tt is yo i t t ir s i h s , 7 , a tt r l , t i e is gotani,4l up in the right ik , iee; . after it, and the state of your heart is the main point.. i want yet just to consider that plain troth first of all. 'chat any., object or that any passion should be entitled to a place in a man's affections as to afford a comfort to, his heart and . produce such influence over his life as to occupy his thoughts continually, it ought to be both suitable and sufficient—it ought to be suitable for the supply of his wants, and it ought to be sufficient to supply them all. If you will bear these two cha racteristics of a real treasury in your minds, you will see plain ly the kindness as well as the reasenableness of our Lord's commandment in the text. It is really kind of him to coin tnand us to have a right treasure; it is like commanding us to be happy—commanding us to put our hearts on the right thing which will make us happy at last. Now that a treesere should be suitable and sufficieut, must depend upon two things'—first, the character of the treasure itself, and then the nature and circumstances of the person to whom it belongs. For example; a very beautiful collection of pictures would be a very unsults able treasure for a blind man ; and a single morsel of bread would be a very insufficient treasure for an hungry man. Con. sider, I say, this contrast, plainer still—consider the beasts in the fields; they find there a suiNble and sufficient treasure, the hid den roots of the grass in compliance with the secret but Almighty iteency of the living. God, or, as our philosophers say, of' nature, imbibe the juices ..nf the surrounding soil, and the mysterious process of vegetation is carried on, the small blades spring forth-ethe field i 4 covered with verdure—and in that rich sup ply—in the waving grass :and in the running stream by its side. ; the cattle find a suitable and sufficient treasure to supply all their wants; they eat and drink, lie down and rest —their whole being is satisfied—their treasure like themselves is of the earth —earthly. But you are not like them. There is a vital and essential difference. I tell you what you are in order that Vert may see plainly what sort of treasure it must be to ,be suitahle and sufficient for yoa. First of all you are immortal creatures, although all flesh is grass—although your life in flesh in this present state is fleeting and shall soon pass away m and b.e no t nore.seea, yet are yott immertal: y:111 must live foy.ever you have no choice—you cannot hell) yourselves. I stittiaole there are few if any of. you who wouldwiett now to give tip immortallity'a but we read of some who desire death and .catinot.tintfit, ana it you pass out of your present r ateof being, any or . you, with: out beingencenciled to God, in his Son, you would give inillion of worlds to be able to annihilate . yo . urselveS; but it i s impossible, you are imm irtel in spite of. yourselves, every soul of you matt have etetnetai of sensitiveness. in the next place, you are dependant creatures, absolutely at the sole dis posal of God; at every moment of time to do with you as he pleases. .One single ind-el end int movement is an essential impossibility- in any creature. There is not a pulse that vibrates in the spiritual; or sensitive, or animal world, not one beet of it, but is numediately,and from moment to moment sup. plied from Him who is the author, and giver of life—from the waving of the archangels wing, when he goes forth on the hi g h behests of Jehovah, down to the little fluttering insect which is impalpable' in the water you drink—all is immediately, from moment to moment, and to perpetuity God's: You are de. pendant then—dependant creatures. It is a good thing t o know this. Alas! how proud man vaunts his independence, and how he struts and blasphemes against the very baud that is supporting him—against the hand of long-suffer ing love, which is supplying him with the very hi eath which he vents in rebellion against God. You are, then, dependent creatures. I pray you, my dear brethren, eedea your to realize the meaning of these words as we go on. You are next guilty creatures ; you have transgressed against God's commandments; You are righteously.exposed to his judgments, his indignation, his wrath. This is a very solemn charge. Though it be so common a one, the subject is familiar to your minds; but you have got.into the habit of bearing without re ceiving any deep impression. - It is a terrible thing to be guilty against God; it.is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

You may speak to them, you may alarm them, you may show them the law of God, -and tell them of the love of Jesus Christ, as I have been endeavouring to do now, still there is not the slightest impression made; the heart seems made of triple steel; it is not in man's power to reach the heart of his fellow-man—and if any of you have heard the gospel often, and are confident that you feel now for the first One—that you have never felt your guilt as it ought to be felt—hail the rising ten dency as it appears—hail the first touch of penitence for your sins; it is just therising beam of God's love in your soul—cherish it —follow it—look after tt—and hark unto " the still small voice" within you. I charge you before you lay on your bed to night, that y n will kneel down on your knees and pray that this feel ing may carry you forward, Let it not go bye. Now, dear brethren,. there is in the use of, the means concerning which I have been- exhorting you, a tendency to withdraw you from anxiety about the world, and now I would say to. the Menabers of the Benefit Society, that rightly look at, cooeihte and use it after a christian manner, your so ciety, in the operation of its provident fund, has the same ten dency to relieve you front anxieties about the world. If r can show this, as I hope to do in a few words, that the legitimate Jendeegyof the prevideut fund• is this, to relieve the mind or anxieties about the world, evil to the contemplation of the gospel treasure, I shall, then • have placed such societies upon what I Conceive' the highest , possible ground of acceptance amongst men. Now recollect such societies. are commonly „formed amongst poor teen---labouring men of different degrees and of a variety of grades in society, receiving various amounts of wages, but all men who are living by their labour in one way or another. The prnvident fund of such a society has this int- - mediate tendency, that it relieves the mind of such a man from that degree of anxiety which would be natural to him lest sick ness should seize him, or lest some accident should befall him, which should hinder him from continuing to provide for his 'family. I would here now illustrate this feeling by making it applicable' to .those who are in a higher class of! life, and 1 would ask what is the tendency of you an affectinate fat her, -Oeeih'g= tha uncertainty of your to it life , aboot-_.ther couditiot3w4fe, your children and the anxiety natural Its your sintl -to leave something to leave those childreu to keep' -then!: froth being cast on the charity. of an -unfeeliug. world. :Look what is the effect of an insurance on your Let him think of the comparative repose which tie feels iespect iug hit family when there is a proper insurance effected On 'his - . life, and the premium properly paid up. He is relieved from • many cares and anxieties which would materially assail his affectionate heart on behatfef his family. Now, what the life as surance,does to you the provident fund of this society in the same manner does for the artisan who is labouring and living on his wagespbereis a certain degree of guarding against contingencies, there is no treasure laid up to excite avarice, but there is a fund laid up to meet contingencies, and to relieve a man from gnawing anxieties, and fears; every day some accident may depriye bins .of the capability . of getting his daily bread.— When looked on in the proper point of view, I I don't mean that every 'member so looks on it, but I am pointing oat its christian use.) a christian becoming a member of this society, and' becoming relieved of these anxieties thereby, can go forth to his ' labour with greater alacrity from having this provision, and he can have more leisure for meditating on the treasure that is above. So much for this benefit society generally. Now, the one before us is a C hu rch of England Benefit Society, that is, the mem bers composing it must be all members of the Church of En gland. 'they do not intend any disrespect to christian men who are not of this chtirch—ne such thing enters their 'minds—if I understand right the very revel se of this has fallen from their lips, in my hearing. They intend no disrespect whatever to dis -senters, hat this is what they mean, for by the rules of the society, they must know the fundamental principles of the mem bers. and they take 'the Church of England as the best criterion. I want to show the advantage of this. and this one advantage is that you have in the Church of England what tends to guard you against being withdrawn from this profession, at least of this Heavenly treasure—the trea sure of the Lord Jesus Christ. The treasure that 'he desires you to set . your hearts upon is explained in the Church of Eng land worship. Your condition rendering Such a treasure ne cessary is explained, and the sentiments of the Church Of Eng land especially tend to guard you against being led astray by phi , losophy, falsely so called, or any other thing. Soloug as you are true tq your professions as members of the church of England,. so long will you see your immortal dependence. A. consistent member of the church of England must see these truths, and these are the landmarks of salvation. You know the necessity of marks where there are complicated channels to navigation. Yen kriow the'becessity of buoys arid lighthouses to show the pilot where toiteer, and you know the danger there is in the wide open sea, without any of these marks, for there may be sunken rocks. If you give up the recognised channel of faith, and throw yourselves on the wide sea of interpretatien,ahere is dan ger, and you may steer wrong: On one side we see men ex ' claiming that man is not immortal—that Adam was not made an immortal creature—that doctrine is talked by men- who are called_ philosophers, and is printed in books as pre-emi nent. Man is not immortal ! Here is a plunge into. , a quicksand.' We want a' huoyclii not forsake your 'chan nel—hold fast to' ,yOur chart. And- what see we amongst others who have forsaken this channel ? They have , got ' into narrow ~as; 'they deny altogether that Jesus Christ is G d , and appeal to hunvin leaoctri; and ,ay that, it is unreason able, and, tii,:refore, they find out interpretations in scripture to suit theii views, or they try to alter translations. * * a * Hold to this, my brethren. For this was the Church of England sent. Oh ! that- h'r pulpits were faithful to her reading desk; and that her preachers taught as her prayers ! bu', alas! her enemies are within her pale, and we know that noe traitor within can do more to ruin a garrison than a whole host of enemies without. But thanks be to God her prospects are better in this respect than they were. Now is the time for members of the Church of England to enrol them selves in societies to proclaim their attachment to the church. Combine you then: your enemies are combined in league against the church, bind yourselves in league for her defence. It is well that the members should meet together, that they should nnderstand the position in which they are placed. I speak now of the members Of this. society in particular—men that are called the poorer classes of society—useful men—honor able men in their station. Avail yourselves of the growing education of the country—avail yourselves of the encreased intelligence of your children to be put in possession of the history of the church,—read the History of the Ref rmation,— read Fox's Book of Martyrs—:let , your children read it—become familiar with that branch of his tory—see what your forefathers did in this country, and see what we must do again, if we do not mean to be overwhelmed by the extending efforts of Popery.

A female named Frances Mit chell was placed before the magistrates charged With having robbed a respectably-dressed •young man (who gave his n atop as Thomas Jackson, a clerk, lodging in Hunter -street, of two.Elo notes, several sovereigns, and some silver. The complainant stated that on Friday night he was passing down Hanover-street he met the prisoher; who accosted him, and would go with hint.

ROBBERY—JEWING THE Jews.—On Monday, at the Police office, a notorious thief named Arthur Gore, was placed before the magistrates, charged with having outwitted several watch- Makers and pawnbrokers in the town,• and deCainping with various articles. Mr. Win. John Burgess, a pawnbroker in Atherton s street, deposed that the prisoner came into his shop and asked if the price ticketed on a watch in the window, £2 Bs. was the lowest that he could take.' He gave him bold of time watch to look qt, retaining hold of the outer case. He then asked in what condition the case was in, and he gave him hold of the case also, putting the watch in it. .He then asked " what is the price of that small watch in the window ?" " I turned round," said Mr. Burgess, " to look at it but did not reach it, when he said, 'Oh never mind, this will do very well.' and then bolted out of the box with my watch in his pocket." (Laugh ter.) On being cross-examined by Mr. Crewe, who appeared fur the prisoner, he said this had occurred on Tuesday the 13th. He would swear the prisoner was the man who jewed'him. Mr. Lesser Dutch having been sworn on the five books of Moses, deposed to being a watchmaker in Whitechapel; the prisoner caine into his shop and inquired the price of a watch in the same manner, and played him precisely the same trick. When the man had been taken into custody, he reetignized'him im mediately. He could swear to him amongst a hundred men. Thilwas last Monday.

The prisoner said it 'was of no use saying anything, but he was innocent whatever they Might say against him. the depositions kir his commitment were ordered to be taken. S Tits Police.—On Tuesday, at the Police-office,' a female was placed at the bar before the magistrates charged by one of the police with being disorderly the night before in Scotland road. The officer stated that a gentleman had had his coat torn by a mob of persons, and the- female was concerned in the riot, and had behaved very disorderly, and in consequence he gave her into custody. l'he female, on being asked what she had to say in defence, said that she was going on the streets be twixt one and two o'clock the night before to endeavour to get a pint of ale for her mother, who was ill, when she met two gen tlemen, one of whom had his coat torn, and who spoke to her, showing her the coat. At this moment the policeman came up, and said he dared say she was concerned in tearing the coat, and struck her with the back of his hand on the face. Upon this provocation she threw the jug she had at the officer, who then seized her by the hair of her head, beat her, and dragged her to Bridewell. The gentlemen interfered, and said she had had nothing to do with the coat tearing, and interceded for her release, but in vain • and they then followed her to Bridewell and paid for a bed ?or her, and were present to state the treat ment she had received. She had received a black eye, and was severely bruised on the arms by the officer's stick. A gentleman who gave his name as Roberts, a watch-manufacturer in North Tyrer-street, stated that he was coming along the streets with a friend from a party, where they had staid rather late, when they met the prisoner with a jug of ale; his friend showed her his torn coat, and at the same moment the officer came up, and laid he had no doubt she knew something of the party who had torn his friend's coat, and, speaking to the prisoner in a very rough manner, he ordered her on, at the same time striking her on the head with the back of his hand. She then threw the jug at him in a passion, and he seized her by the hair of her head, and beat her with his stick in the most scandalous manner. He never in his life saw a woman so brutally used. Ile interfered for the woman, when a person who was with the officer said, if he spoke a word, lie should go to Bridewell along with the wo man. He, out of compassion, then followed the woman to Bridewell along with. his friend, and they paid for better accom tie:elation for her in Bridewell, as they thought it a case of hard ship. He had. never seen the woman before in his lift. `friend then stood up and gave similar testimony;; s poke t p u s jj Y tie wernewbeeause he had a slight knowledge of' her from se Irlg her frequently pass his house, and living ne ar her. ; 'Believed she teas a very hard-working and quiet wo man.

Mr. Hall said that all the papers found on him would be detained, to prevent him again from practising the same impositions in this town as he had done in others. It was perfectly clear that be had been imposing on persons in other parts of the country, as he had some time before done in Liver pool by representing himself as an Italian. It was very lucky for him that he had not been detected in any of his present im positions in Liverpool. Under these circumstances he was dis charged, but all his documents would be detained. Mr. Hall then cautioned the boy who was along with him to leave the man, for if not, and he was brought up again, he woul d be,(l ,elt y with very severely, and the same as the man him self. were both then discharged. lace- Tian POLICE AND THUD STICKS AGAIN.-011 Wednesdaed b y, at the Police-office, a man named John p hat.

(the officer) to a house where he had pawned it. He (witness) then, along with another officer, went with the prisotthrtts Byrom-street, and the.prisciner having pointed the~ho n si where he had pawued the hat, the other officer went tut s leaving him with the prisoner. Thh prisoner tiler' struck him several times and, attempted to. escape, and he was obliged to use his stick in self-defence. Mr. Hall euquired if he hail inflicted the injuries on, the prisoner ' s head; to which the officer replied, that he had done it in self-defence. Mr. P arkinson said, that when the, man was brought to Bridewell he was in a very ex- bausted state from the loss i.f bloat, and on his,head there were two dreadful wounds inflicted with a bloW troll a stick. „The man was so eXhaUstedthat he had fainted. Mr. Hall, addre-ising the policeman, severely reprimanded him for his brutal cou,duet. He had used the violence on an ,nriti:•rned - l uau, an& when, by, his own account, another officer was close at. hand ; ha had shamefully abused : the pOwer which was vested in hint. . not to suppose that, because he was armed with a little ,aothority, he was to abuse it.

Officer " I can bring evidence to prove that he insulted me in a very gross manner." Mr. Hall: " That is no justification why you should strike the man to the ground —it is no reasort,why you shotild strike the Mau with your. stick; the law does not allow it. You now change your ground; one minute you say you struck him because you were obliged to do it in self-defence, and the next, because he uses insulting languag,- to you, and vet, according to your own statement, there was no necessity for such violence because therewase police- Officer within call. The prisoner.. said, that the officer had aoused him in the public-house, before be was struck ; .until the, people cried shame. Mr. Hall said, if,he had any Witnesses to bring forward to, prove this violence he was at, liberty to bring them. A witness then deposed, that the prisoner had run out of a public-house in Shaw's-brow, with a hat which did not belong to him, and, in cousequence, he was pointed out to the p Iceman. The prisoner was remanded. Mi. Hall said, that. the circumstances of the case would be enquired into by the, Watch-committee.

The stranger, under a fraudulent pretence, had obtained £2l from the Manchester Quay Co., from one of thCir clerks.
