Eiberpool 4tatibarTo. FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT MONDAY MORNING NEVER before, within the memory of that world-famous individual, " the oldest inhabitant," did so gloomy, chilling, and dreary an August pass over our heads as that which now drags its slow length along. August used to be set down in the calendar as the " merry month," par excellence, but this year such an appellation is the bitter- est satire possible on the gravest imaginable subject. In the presence of louring shies, and drizziing m gusts of wind that blow at once from all the poin ists, and is of the ace, it is not easy for compass, and meet directly in one's even the best conditioned and most happily disposed person to be cheerful, and to find his own affairs in particular, and things in general, in a satisfactory state. Fancy what must be the aspect of those who, independent of incle- ment winds and sullen fogs, have substantial reasons, plenty as blackberries, for being out of humour, disap pointed, vexed, and cast down. To realize such melan choly objects, and to behold misery in its most lugubrious shapes, you have only to look in upon such fragmentary coteries as still haunt the Reform or other like club houses, or as mope through the dingy drawing-rooms of tenth-rate female political diplomatists as remain in town, because they have no where else to go to, and try to cut a figure in the absence of greater dames, and to moan over, during the grouse-shooting season, the honours once worn by that notorious party woman, old Mother R.Ew,— the electioneering charmer, hom wine-bibbing Whigs used to glorify in the exhilarating toast : " Here's to buff and And MOLLY CARE,.': You have only, T say, to peep in upon such remnants of the Chesham Place faction, as are still to be found con gregated together in club or salon, in order to witness the perfection of human discomfiture. Attempt to disguise it as they may,—and, to do them justice, they are beginning to see the folly of making absurd attem s to disgulse it,— the Whig-Radical faction has received a heavy blow at the late elections, such as they never can get over. To parody their own flvourite formula, they have fallen des perately in public opinion, they are daily falling lower and lower, and there is not the slightest chance of their again securing the post they lately occupied. What makes the prostrate condition of these unfortunates the moreludicrous is, that they have had the ordering of their own fate. They selected their own time and the conditions of trial, and made preparations for the victory which they felt confident would be theirs. Like accomplished black-legs, they loaded the dice; they confederated for a grand coup, ar ranged beforehand ; they made the game, and they played it against gentlemen unaccustomed to the tricks of sharpers, thinking to pigeon them easily with Mat. But for once fortune has been with the honest ; the combined schemers have been made bankrupt, and now, like despair. ing gamblers who have lost everything—honour and all — they gnash their teeth in rage, and vent their fury in in coherent abuse, accusation, and slander, too pitiful to be noticed except by the smile of contempt. The stories these baffled thimbleriggers trump up and propagate day after day, with the hope of covering their shame, and ex cusing their degraded situation, are worthy the invention of the father of all lies, and the malice of a select society of Bohea-drinking, scandal-manufacturing old tabbies. Great, However, is the power of truth, and it prevails, day after day, exposing the slanderers to additional humilia tion and to increased odium. The MATHER combustible box, which was to set the world in a blaze, and demolish Lord MALMESBURY, has exploded like a bottle of ill-odoured smoke, disconcerting only the rash individuals who attempted to fire it. The tremendous Fundy fish affair, from which so much was expected, has ended in a tale of a great American sea serpent, about which all jabber, but which nobody can catch or make anything of—a thing, in truth, " very like a whale." The other mighty grievances and impending dangers, too numerous to mention, with which we have been frightened, have one by one vanished, and left not a wreck behind to comfort the gentlemen who are looking out for the wished-for democratic deluge, which is to come in with the coming men, and to revolu tionise everything. Having discharged their small fire arms and little artillery of slander successively on Mr. DISRAELI, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, Mr. WALPOLE, Lord MALMESBURY and Major BERESFORD, singly, without making the slightest impression, the Whig-Radical mer cenaries next tried the effect of their foul weapons of attack on Ministers collectively, ranging them for the purpose in convenient groups. But they gained nothing from this mode of warfare, except a few return discharges which have damaged them beyond the cure of helibore. Lat terly, the sharpshooters and forlorn hope leaders of the faction have concentrated their venomous attacks, with the hope of stinging the head of the Government himself; but the noble Lord, secure in his honour and integrity, laughs to scorn their puny malice, and treats them with ineffable disdain. Last week, the incredible romance about his persecuting tenants because they would not vote for his political enemy, FREDERICK PEEL, was tried upon a too credulous and scandal-loving public ; but the fable was too nonsensical to pass current even for an hour. But another has been invented in double quick time, and what do you think it is ? This last calumny is that, just before the general election, the noble earl borrowed £lOO,OOO for the purpose of expending it in bribery, and keeping himself and colleagues in office for a little longer. Think of that, Master BROOKE ! Is it not amazing to what lengths faction, writhing under defeat and despairing of obtaining its ends, will go ? What on earth do these noble, right honourable, end honourable patriots, citizens, and subjects, wish or want ? They declared they could not govern the country themselves, and they advised their Sovereign to get servants who could. Well, the QUEEN did get servants willing and able to govern the country with credit and honour. Still the grumblers were not satisfied. They clamoured for an early dissolution of Parliament. Well, Parliament was dissolved, according to their desire. Again they set up the howl of dis content—they wanted an autumnal session. Well, things have been put in train to have an autumnal session. Still the unhappy creatures are discontented. They cry out treason and treachery, and in short don't know what they would have. In fact, they are out of temper and out of office, and have no prospect of regaining either—so we must make up our minds to be dosed with lies and fables to the end of the chapter. Parliament at present stands prorogued to the 21st of October, and I have reason to believe that it will be sum moned for the dispatch of public business on the 9th or the 10th of November—in quite sufficient time to allow of a deliberate decision before Christmas, upon the ques tion what is to be the general policy of Great Britain, and whether the present Government continues to enjoy the confidence of the country. This was the engage ment to which Lord DERBY pledged himself, and he will thus fulfil his pledge to the letter and to the spirit ; all rabid tirades, Chartist oracles, and all ebullitions of Whig spleen to the contrary notwithstanding. Of course it would better suit the schemes and designs of fallen poli tical tricksters, of anarchical democrats and levellers, to have the Parliament summoned in September. But what sort of a House of Commons could be assembled at such a period of the year ? It would be an assembly not of the representatives of the general interests of the country, but of the idle, brawling, place-hunting, job bing, lack -land, lack-credit, lack - principle, fellows who, by hook and crook, by priestly violence and popular delusion, have contrived to get themselves returned as " Knights of the Shire," as " Burgesses," and " Citi zens," fit to have seats in the Legislature. Yes, we would have a precious House, composed of all the hux ters, the dissenting preachers, the briefless barristers, (of which there are near a hundred,) the railway contractors, directors, projectors, and specu(ators, (some twenty or thirty,) the hangers-on of the late Government, hun gering for office, and ready for any desperate course; and, though last, not least, the blacklegs and men about town who live by their wits, and by the sale of the small ap pointments which liberal governments are, " by contract," bound to place at their disposal, in reward for their being ever at the beck and call of the whippers-in. It is perfectly well known that gentlemen of large estates—the real representatives of the wealth, the worth, the intelligence, and the independence of the na tion—the men who recognize and put in practice the principle that property has its duties as well as its rights — cannot at this season of the year desert their homes and their people, without doing an incalculable amount of private and public injustice. It would be cruel and tyrannical to require them to do so, except under pressure of some paramount national necessity, which no one can assert exists at present. In November a full house can reasonably be counted on, in which the agricultural, ma nufacturing, commercial, and miscellaneous interests of the country will be represented, without placing any at a disadvantage ; and Lord DERBY has deserved well of the Crown and the community by refusing to summon Par liament at any less convenient time. Stars and garters ! What a commotion has been excited here among the " feelosophers" soy the falling into th e h an d s o f the Minister of a blu e ribbon ! One would imagine that the profound sages, the deep-thinkers, the matter-of-fact economists, the plain common-sense professors, would disdain to speak or think of such a bauble. Alas ! no. The fellows, after all, are mere mortals, and a blue ribbon has as much attraction for them as a becoming bead-dress has for elderly women. Go where you will, this " vacant blue ribbon" forms the subject of speculation and wonderment—what breast it is destined to adorn. Some will have it that the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND must obtain it, some that the Earl 9fGLINTON has a prescriptive right to it, some that the Marquis of SALISBURY has g ot the promise of it, some that the M arqu i s of DOWNSIIIRE counts to wear it, some that the Earl of MALmassußY has has his eye upon it. Na matter who get s i t , it phicai and been a fortunate mit for the gossips,philoso non-ph ilosophical, that so pretty a toy for discussion has been given us in this dull season, when topics of discourse are few and very uninteresting. I venture to suggest that the ribbon be given to JOHN BRIGHT, (or, as he is known among the classic members of the House, Johannus Clants. l It might conciliate the Manchester men to see their chosen one so decorated. Certainly the blue ribbon and jewel of the Garter would have a novel, picturesque, and very seductive effect on the Quaker-cut habiliments of the honourable and most pugnacious member. BRIGHT is now, I believe, in the Highlands, banging away at the grouse as energetically as any other gentleman, " licensed to shoot game," and though it might appear rattyr incon sistent in a snuff-coloured jacket to sport a blue ribbon and garter, it would not be more so than for an anti game-law denouncer, and a peace professor, to be cracking his double-barrel, and bagging his killed and wounded, in emulation of the keenest sportsmen of the north. Who cares for consistency in these drys ? Evidently, not BRIGHT, BROTHERS, and Co. It is often said that there is nothing new under the sun, but that is a mistake. We have got something new in London. What do you think all our cooks—l mean our women cooks, the " ladies" who systematically spoil the best beef, mutton, poultry, fish, and vegetables in the world, and render all they touch almost unfit for eating— what do you think our " good plain cooks," as they are styled by courtesy, are turning themselves to ? Be the shade of CROCKFORD and the body of JACK GIILLY ! they are all incontinently turning themselves into regular turfites. Not a fat soul of them, SALLY, and KITTY, and PEGGY, and DOLLY, and greaseful MARY MAY, but has her half-crown, and, for ought I know, her " fippond note," on some race or another. The dining-room steaks are neglected for the stakes at York and Doncaster ; he dishes are flung aside in the dirt to look after the Cam bridgeshire plates ; the butcher's book is pitched disdain fully under the dresser in order that the betting-hook may be scientifically made up, so as to make the fortunate maker, on the settling day, a" real lady" and no mistake. Is not this something new ? If you doubt the fact, go and behold the crowds of feminine professors of the spit and stew-pan that congregate round the numerous bet ting-offices that infest this metropolis, and learn one more wonder of this marvellously fast-going age. Where all this will end, it is impossible to conjecture ; but that gen tlemen and their wives should look doubly sharp after their cooks is abundantly plain. One opera-house has closed, Her Majesty's ; and the other, the Royal Italian, has produced a monster opera —an opera that, on the first night of its performance, completely out-thundered the artillery of heaven, and rendered the most violent storm that has raged in London these thirty years perfectly inaudible. Such a feat could only be accomplished by such a composer as Juliien, whose " Pietro it Grande" is the most tremendous musical composition ever imagined. For five mortal hours did drums and trumpets and clarionets, and all sorts of mu sical instruments, combine to astonish, if they did not delight, the ears of the hearers. That the roof was not blown off the top of the opera-house, was a mercy. The composer, certainly, basin this work out-Julliened Jullien. " Pietro it Grande" is the " thunderer" of operas. SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIETY FOR IRELAND. The annual meeting of the Liverpool Association's Auxiliary to the above society was held in Christ Church School-room, Christian-street, last night. In the absence of the Rev. F. Ould, the chair was taken by the Rev. George Marland. The meeting having been opened with singing and prayer, the chairman called on Mr. George O'Neille to read the report of the association, from which it appears that— " There were in connexion with this Society on the Ist of January, 1852, 3056 schools, containing 222,628 chil dren and adults. This number of schools is larger than that at any former period, and although emigration has of late reduced the number of scholars, yet the present num ber of scholars bears a larger proportion to the popula lation of Ireland than at any former period. It is esti mated that at least one million two hundred thousand children and adults have passed through the Sunday Schools connected with this society during the last thirty years—all of whom received scriptural instruction to a greater or less extent; many of these were the children of Roman Catholic parents, into whose households the Bible or Testament, and especially the elementary books containing reading lessons selected from the word of God, published by this society, were frequently introduced. Let it not, however, from this large . cornputed number, be said that the work of the Sunday School Society is finished. Notwithstanding what has already been done amongst the Protestants, it is estimated that not one-half of the Pro. testant children between the ages of 6 and 15 attend Sun day Schools; of these many are children of the poorer classes who peculiarly need Sunday School instruction. The committee are persuaded, that were the great mass of the Protestant population more thoroughly leavened by this important system, and its wholesome power exhibited in their godly lives, one important stum bling block would be removed to the spreading of Di vine truth amongst the Roman Catholic population. This society has used and continues to use all its available means in aiding and extending the work of the reformation now happily progressing in Ireland. It has granted large supplies of books to Sunday schools composed of Roman Catholics, or converts from the Church of Rome, besides affording the assistance of its visiting agents. Many of the adult converts especially, receive comparatively little Scriptural instruction, except through the medium of the Sunday school. The assistance of this society has been heartily acknowledged by the local conductors of these schools. Notwithstanding the large number of schools which have been since planted throughout the country, it should not therefore be supposed, that they beeome inde pendent of all aid from this society : on the contrary, the experience of this society. and the information which it now so extensively possesses, show the fluctuating cha racter of Sunday schools in general ; for whilst a portion of them may retain their vigour and efficiency, yet the very nature of the voluntary and gratuitous principle on which they are established subjects many of the schools to the effect of action and reaction, requiring continually the friendly co-operation of a society like this, to animate them when declining, to encourage them when depressed and struggling, to revive them when fallen, and to assist them at all times. In this quiet but useful position, has this society carried on its work for upwards offorty years. To these extracts and general observations your committee will only add a brief notice of their proceedings, which are to be considered more immediately local. They for warded to the treasurers of the Parent Institution, in Dublin, during the past half-year the sum of £5B 7s. 10d., including annual subsciptions, collections in St. Sa viour's and Christ Churches, and those by Sunday schools and privute benevolent individuals whom your committee are thankful to say have not ceased to be " up and daing" for this now time-honoured society. They cannot, how. ever, but regret that the remittance referred to should have been so far short of those in former and earlier years, when the sphere of the society's operations was compara tively circumscribed, and its demand for pecuniary re sources less urgent. Your committee would hope that the announcement of the fact will induce many to come forward on the present occasion to aid by their prayers, their contributions, and their exertions, a cause so impor tant. A society with objects so scriptural and a work so honoured, cannot surely (whatever the claims of other institutions) be left to languish in Liverpool. Never could the contributions of christians be made with greater advantage to the cause of scriptural education in Ireland ; never was the support of this institution more loudly called for than at present. Many who are now the sub jects of instruction in the Irish Sunday schools, and those who are struggling for spiritual emancipation there, will by and by have passed to more distant shores or have entered an eternal world." The Rev. Dr. HUME said it was about 70 years since that Sunday Schools were first established in Eng land, and that these societies for Ireland originated with Mr. Robert Grades, of Gloucestershire. about 30 years afterwards. The institutions had, at their origin, been resisted with much violence by those who believed, or affected to believe, that the teaching on the Sabbath dese• crated that holy day ; but the prejudice was happily, after a time, conquered. He then contrasted the difference between the system of teaching in the English and the Irish schools, and concluded by moving the adoption of the report, at the same time mentioning that he had ever been a friend of this society, and urging his hearers ear nestly to give it their warmest support. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. CHARLES CaossLE, the deputation from the Parent Society, after speaking in high terms of eulogium on the benefits conferred by the orerations of these socie ties in Ireland, mentioned several interesting circum stances in illustration of his observations. Amongst others the rev, gentleman said he had received a letter from a friend in Ireland confirming his own opinion of the bene fits of Sunday schools. It was to the following effect:— " After lengthened experience in his magisterial po sition, he had had but one Sunday School scholar brought before him, and that one was enticed to commit the offence for which he was obliged to convict her at the suggestion of her parent, and she was also an irregular attendant at the school to which she went ; whilst, on the contrary, the number of convictions he was obliged to order on juve nile offenders, who did not attend the school, was incredi ble." (Hear, hear.) He did not think, then, that any one could doubt that these schools were calculated to raise the moral tone of the people of that country exceedingly, as well as to accomplish the more glorious position of instructing those poor people in the blessed truths of the Gospel. (Hear, hear.) During the last year there had been a diminution in the number of scholars of 3,000; but this, although a startling fact, when thoroughly sifted gave no cause for despond ency. From this port alone, in the past year, 185,000 souls left Ireland for distant lands. whilst in the aggre gate 252,000 went off, making the proportional diminu tion in the attendance of Sunday-school societies to be considerably below—so that if 500,000 were to quit the country, the society was now standing far higher than it had ever stood before,-2,000 only having left. In addi tion to this gratifying fact, too, the rev. gentleman said there were now 28 more schools in Ireland than ever were in the schools' palmiest days. (Cheers.) He con cluded by dwelling, in fervid language, on the incalcu lable benefits which this diffusion of Christian knowledge on the Sunday-scholars must eventually produce ; for whether they remained in their native land, or sought foreign climes, they must be the means, under Provi dence, of disseminating the blessed tidings of salvation. Clieers.) The report was unanimously adopted. The Rev. J. J. BUTLER moved the next resolution —" That as the diffusion of scriptural knowledge amongst the inhabitants of Ireland is the great means of rescuing the poor of that country from ignorance and the enslaving superstitions of Romanism which abound there, and as in the providence of God there are openings for the work both new and auspicious, this meeting feels itself specially called upon to encourage the hearts and strengthen the hands of those engaged in the good work of Sunday school instruction." He stated that the society had 222,268 children and adults under its care—souls snatched from exposure to ignorance, vice, and superstition ; and if there were no other reason why they should come to the rescue of the Sunday School Society of Ireland, this great truth surely was amply sufficient to animate them. (Hear, hear.) The motion was ably seconded by the Rev. GEORGE ALKER. The Rev. W. H. DUCK moved, and the Rev. ROBERT BROWNE seconded the following resolution, which was unanimously carried : " That the following be appointed the officers of this association for the ensuing year Secretary : Rev. Fielding Ould. Committee : Rev. T. C. Cowan, Rev. John Marland, Rev. Geo. Alker, Rev. W. Rawson, Rev. G. W. Warr, Rev. John J. Butler, A. Hodgson, Esq., William Jones, Esq., John Rigby, Esq., W. N. Skerrett, Esq., D. R. Falconer, Esq.—LIVERPOOL LADIES' AUXl- LlARY.—Treasurer and Secretary : Miss H. Meadows. Committee : Mrs. Ould. Mrs. Tomlinson, Mrs. Tyson, Mrs. Fearon, Miss Knipe, Miss Dodgson, Miss Allport. Collector : Mr. Rose, bible depository, Slater-street." The meeting was concluded by singing the doxology, and a collection was made at the doors. NEW GUIDE FOR STRANGERS IN LIVERPOOL : Cor nish, Liverpool.—We beg to recommend to the notice of strangers visiting Liverpool the new edition of " Cornish's Guide through Liverpool," advertised elsewhere. It is decidedly one of the best arranged guides through the town extant, and conveys all the information that visitors can require. The important improvements that have taken place of late years are noticed, and the work has been brought up to the present time. NEW AUSTRALIAN STEAM-PACKET CLEOPATRA.-011 Saturday a fine new iron screw-steamer, named the Cleopatra, now lying in the East India Docks, London, and intended to run between England and the Australian colonies, with passengers and goods, was thrown open to the inspection of a party of the friends of the owners and others, previous to starting on her first voyage. She is the property of Messrs. M'Kean, M'Larty, and Co., of this port, and was built in the Clyde by Alexander Denny and Brother, of Dumbarton. Her burthen is 1,500 tons, and her engines are 300 horse power. Her spar-deck extreme length from topsail to main stern is 235 feet 4 inches ; breath of beam, 32 feet 6 inches ; and depth of hold, 27 feet. She is ship rigged, is on the screw principle, has 130 first-class, 120 second, and 60 third class berths ; the first and second class are completely found, and the third class passengers are only required to furnish beds and bedding. The rates are very moderate. She leaves London on the Ist Sept., and is altogether a splendid vessel. ART ASSISTING NATURE.—Yesterday M. Boissonnesu, of Paris, was occupied during the greater part of the after noon, at the St. Anne's Dispensary and Eye and Ear Institution, Rose-hill, in fitting in artificial eyes, of his own construction, to those who were deficient of one organ, by accident or disease. The box which contained his specimens, presented an immense variety, and the re semblance to the eye in its natural condition was perfect. There were eyes of all shades of colour, and suited to any extent of decay in the organ. These were fitted in and removed again without any pain to the patient, and the improvement in the general appearance and expression of countenance was quite like magic. One, an interesting girl of about sixteen, afforded much amusement to the spectators. She displayed extreme interest in the success of the experiment, and was greatly delighted with the improvement which a glance at a looking-glass showed. Mr. Boissonneau does not speak English, but Dr. Not tingham acted as interpreter for him. The Rev. Thomas Moore, M.A., moved a vote of thanks to the benevolent artist, who had only been able to attend to a few of the cases that crowded to hit); from all parts of the town. DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM-SHIP GREAT BRITAIN It had been announced that this splendid vessel would steam out of the Wellington Dock on Friday afternoon last, and a vast number of people of all classes, including many strangers from all parts of the country, congregated upon the dock quays, along which the vessel had to pass in her progress up the river; and on every available spot from whence a view of her could be obtained. About two o'clock the order was given to cast off, and the scene became one of intense interest, as she proceeded to the dock gates. When, in a few minutes, she presented her spacious bows to the spectators, and gradually displayed to the eyes of the assembled thousands her noble propor tions, enthusiasm and admiration were at their height, and hearty cheering rent the air. As soon as this had part:ally subsided, the band of the Industrial School, which was stationed on the adjoining pier, struck up the lively air of " The girls we left behind us ;" and shortly afterwards the vessel steamed slowly up the river, passing in shore close to the Prince's-parade and the Landing - stage, from which she was heartily greeted, and proceeded to her moorings in the Sloyne. The passengers embarked from the small landing stage at the Prince's pierhead on Saturday morning. The steamers conveying them to the Great Britain were an nounced to leave at 10 and 12 o'clock, and at those hours , and indeed during the whole forenoon of Saturday, the south end of Prince's Pier presented a bustling scene. Cars, carts, and all sorts of vehicles were continually ar riving with passengers and their parcels. People were running about, looking for their friends, while others were taking hasty adieus, and this mixed with the wrangling of porters and carmen, made the scene one of the most ex citing description. On the small stage the " crush" was still greater, for in addition to the Great Britain's pas sengers and their friends, there were hundreds of excur sionists making their way on board steamers that were announced to accompany the leviathan down the river, and lying alongsidethe stage, decorated in all the glory of flags, and having bands on board. Shortly after twelve the Steam Tug Company's steamer Tartar left for the Great Britain, being literally "crammed" with passengers and their friends, the latter having got on board contrary to the regulations. In consequence of this a great number of passengers and their luggage could not be got on board the tender ; but through the kindness of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., they were subsequently conveyed on board by another steamer. The mails, which amounted to the large number of forty bags, although such short notice of her carrying them had been given, were con veyed on hoard about two o'clock, and about half-an hour afterwards the immense steamer let go her moorings and got under weigh, which was announced by a salute of guns. This was the signal for a general cannonading from different craft on the river and places on each shore. The American steamer Arctic was the first that fired, and her salute was followed by one from the pier at Rock Ferry, where a number of boats were assembled at a regatta, got up for the occasion, and which had attracted a large concourse of spectators. The view from the deck of the Great Britain, as she steamed down the river, was most imposing. On each side immense crowds were collected to witness her departure. From Messrs. Vernon's ship building yard, the most southerly point of the . Liverpool Docks, to Bootle, where the docks terminate—a distance of nearly five miles—the river frontage presented the same sight, one vast mass of human beings, crowded together on the quays, pierheads, and warehouse tops, every available spot, from which a view of the river could be obtained, being occupied. Many of the vessels in the docks had their yards and masts occupied by the seamen belonging to them. The Great Britain passed the great landing-stage, George's Pierhead, at a quarter to three, and here the scene on the river became one of the most animated we ever witnessed, equalling the occasion of the Queen's visit, and surpassing it in one point, having the advantage of a beautifully fine day. More than a dozen river steamers, with hundreds of people on the decks and paddle-boxes, were hovering round the Great Britain, and as several approached within a few yards of her, their pas. sengers gave unmistakeable demonstrations of their kindly feelings towards the voyagers, which were warmly re sponded to by those on board. Captain Mathews' ap pearance on the bridge of the steamer was hailed by " three times three," and that worthy commander had something to do to acknowledge the plaudits on all sides. The ship Una, which sails to-day for Australia, (one of Messrs. Miller and Thompson's " Golden Line,") was moored in the river, and, as the Great Britain steamed past her, her passengers (of whom she takes between 500 and 600) assembled on deck and in her rigging, and a hearty interchange of feeling took place between them and those bound for the same " golden colony" on board of the Great Britain. As the Great Bri tain passed the Landing-stage, she fired another salute, The landing-stage, the roof of the George's Pier Baths, the old churchyard, and the full length of the Prince's and Albert Dock Parades were crowded by as many as could find standing room, who, one and all sent up a cheer that was heard on the opposite side of the river, and responded to by crowds assembled at the Woodside and Birkenhead Ferries, the Birkenhead Dock Quays, and the Seacombe Gardens, and from the latter place a salute was fired. The Great Britain proceeded towards the Rock accompanied by the Ayrshire Lassie, Lioness, Voltigeur, Victory, Hercules, Helen Faucit, Independence, Mary Agnes, Zephyr, and other steamers. A select party in the Cunard tender Satellite also accompanied her down the river. The only boats that kept way with the Great Britain, were the Helen Faucit, the Indepen dence, and the Victory, the latter parting company with her about two miles on the other side of the Rock Light house. Shortly afterwards the Great Britain came up with the steamer Troubadour, having a cheap trip party from Bristol on board, come purposely to witness her departure. In fact, cheap trips from all parts of the country had pressed thousands into Liverpool, showing the national interest felt in this noble steam-ship. The Drogheda steamer, Leinster Lass, was in company with the Great Britain for several miles, and fired salutes. In the Crosby Channel a beautifully modelled screw steamer was met coming into port, which we after wards learnt to be a government vessel called the Sea Mew. A notice of her will be found elsewhere. Off the Crosby light-ship, the steamer Express was waiting to convey Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co., and a party of scientific gentlemen, who accompanied the vessel thus far, hack to Liverpool. One of the excursion steamers, the Egremont, had also ventured this far. The last "good bye" was an exciting moment. The officers, crew, and passengers of the Great Britain mustered on deck, and gave three hearty cheers, the ensign was dipped, a salute fired, and the band struck up a parting strain—the Ex press steamer dropped under her stern, and as she did so, those on board exerted their lungs to the utmost in giv ing a parting " hurrah." At the time the Great Britain was left, everything on board was going on well. Several of the passengers availed themselves of those returning to Liverpool to forward letters to their friends in England and elsewhere. Among the passengers we ob served several curious costumes, some of them apparently already accoutred for " the diggings." One gentleman sported a red shirt, white canvass continuations, and a " wide-awake" hat, with a belt round his middle, in which was stack a bowie knife. Another, who appeared to be sedulously cultivating a beard and moustache, had a blue blouse, a cap of liberty, and, slung over his shoulder, a cartouche or ammunition box. Of course, there was a belt, too, and in front of it an undisputable ap pearance of "a revolver." We hope that after making such a good beginning, the expectations of these gold - seekers may be realised. We could not resist asking the gentleman in crimson if he intended practising on the " bullion cham ber" of the Great Britain, which contains, we unaerstand, considerably more than half a million of specie, no very bad " location" for starting a " diggings. The Great Britain took out upwards of 630 passengers, all of them of a superior class. Her appearance as she steamed out to sea was very imposing, and eulogiums expressive of her magnificence were heard on all sides. She drew upwards of 22 feet of water, which necessarily retarded her pro gress considerably. For the first few days, only four of her boilers, of which there are six, will be used, the remaining two having been filled with fresh water for the use of the ship, which will be consumed first ; after it is used she will proceed under a full pressure of steam. From the capabilities of the ship, and the well-known ability of Captain Matthews, her commander, there is no doubt the Great Britain will accomplish the passage in a space of time hitherto un paralleled. The officers and crew number 140, and, with the pas sengers, make a total of nearly 800 souls on board. The Great Britain was signalled, off Point Lynas, at 7 30, p.m. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT. YESTERDAY. POCKET-PICKING.—In consequence of the number of strangers brought into town by the cheap trips on Satur day, the pickpockets were busily employed in plying their unlawful vocation, and a great number of these cases were brought before the court. SHOP ROBBERIES.—A respectably-dressed female, named Jane Grant, was committed for trial for stealing a dress piece, value Bs. 6d., from the shop of Mr. Hugh Owen, draper, Ranelagh-street.—William Parker was committed for trial for stealing a bundle, containing eleven coloured shirts, from the doorway of Messrs. Tassell and Tidyman, drapers, in the same street, on Saturday night. A STEAM REVENUE CRUISER.—A beautifully-model led screw steamer is at present taking in coals in the Co burg dock, having arrived here for that purpose on Satur day last. She has been built by Mr. Mare, of Blackwall, and has one of the handsomest bows we have ever seen on a vessel. She is rigged as a three-masted schooner, and having seen her under canvass, we can conscientiously say that she has a yacht-like appearance. Her name is the Sea Mew : she has machinery of 60 horse-power, and steams ten knots. She is intended for a revenue cruiser, and will be stationed off the north-west coast of Ireland. PROPOSED SHREWSBURY AND ABERYSTWITH RAIL WAY.—A prospectus of the above line of railway, which is being brought forward under the most influential auspices, appears in our advertising columns this day ; and, on glancing at the map of the country through which it runs, we cannot but feel amazed that such a line, con necting as it does the manufacturing districts of the midland counties with Cardigan Bay, and with a number of important towns and mineral districts, should not long ago have been formed. With the exception of a line along the northern coast from Chester to Holyhead, another from Chester to Gloucester, running nearly along the boundary line which divides England and her princi pality, and the southern coast lines from Gloucester to Milford Haven, Wales may be said to be entirely unpro vided with railway facilities. Yet this is not because the face of the country presents natural obstacles. It is. on the contrary, in many districts most favourable ; and in that through which it is proposed to carry this line, scarcely a single expensive work presents itself. The Shrewsbury and Aberystwith Railway commences at the junction formed at the former place with the Wolver hampton and Birmingham, and proceeds over a coal field about ten miles long to the valley of the Severn, by the flannel and cloth manufacturing towns of Wclshpool, Newtown, and Llanidloes, in all of which there are nume rous factories, Newtown alone containing nearly sixty. It goes thence up the vallies of Catno and Dovey, passing the port of Aberdovey, which is capable of great improve ment, to Aberystwith one of the finest sea-bathing places in the kingdom. The line is altogether to be seventy miles long ; is not expected to cost above £lO,OOO per mile ; and will, no doubt, command a very large traffic, both in minerals and pleasure passengers to the sea side. from Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the midland puhtiel THE MERCURY'S PAPISTICAL LEANINGS. THERE was a time when the Mercury might fairly have been expected to do its utmost to advance the cause of the Roman Catholic party in this kingdom, and those who have been in the habit of observing its career, know well that it did not disappoint expectation in this particu lar. No opportunity was lost of vilifying all who were Protestant, and of defending not only the doctrines of Romanism, but the audacious and often illegal doings of its votaries in this town. The old leaven we find still pervades its columns, although, we presume, the same hand no longer indites the weary rubbish. A striking instance of its sympathy with Papistical ruffianism is con tained in last Friday's publication. The subject is " The Stockport Rioters ;" and thus our contemporary expa tiates : "The history of these disgraceful riots, arising out of religious animosities and national dislikes, will add a black page to the records of crime in a country which boasts of the civil and religious liberty enjoyed by its people. The houses of Roman Catholics were assailed, and their places of worship were sacked, by a brutal and infuriated mob. Peaceable inhabitants were attacked in the most cowardly manner, and then a riot succeeded, in which English and Irish, Protestant and Catholic, committed acts of violence of the most disgraceful character." Not a word is here about the ruffianly proceedings of the previous day ! Not a word about the assemblage of Irish Roman Catholics, armed with sickles, pokers, and other offensive weapons, who proceeded deliberately to smash the windows of Protestant Churches and School-rooms, and to abuse the persons of every Englishman or English woman within their reach!! Not a word to intimate that murder bad on that day been committed in the very street by an Irish ruffian upon a fellow-countrymen, the victim being mistaken no doubt for an Englishman ! Of all this there is no record in the columns of our contemporary. The denizens of Rock-row, who had just been engaged in the commission of outrage and murder, were " peaceable inhabitants" —martyrs in the eyes of our contemporary ; —whilst those who were exasperated to retaliation by their atrocities are " a brutal and infuriated mob." To be an Irish Romanist Is evidently, in the eyes of the Mercury, to be something approaching to the angelic. NEW SCREW-STEAMER FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN TRADE. — On Saturday last, a new screw-steamer arrived here from the Clyde, named the Persian, built by Messrs. Smith and Rodger, and will form one of the fleet of Messrs. Henry Dixon and Co.'s Constantinople line. She is about 250 feet in length over all, and has capacity for 1150 tons measurement goods. The Persian is rigged as a three masted schooner, with machinery on the multiplying power principle. Her nominal power is 250 horses, but she can work much above this. Her model is very fine, and cal culated for the attainment of great speed. Her cabin accom•nodations are of the first class. She is commanded by Capt. Milburn, late of the Astrologer, in which vessel he has made some of the most rapid passages on record. The Persian accomplished the distance from Greenock to the Bell Buoy in 161 hours, including stoppages,under steam alone,—a sufficient proof that she is a very fast TVINCIt THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 185 Q. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE decrease which has been taking place during the past few weeks in the stock of bullion held by the Bank of England, has this week been arrested, and the returns, as given below, shew an increase of £452,000 over the amount last week. Considering the large quantities that may now be expected to come forward from Australia, where the rains were commencing at the date of the last reports, and the fact that the Europa's news, received on Sunday, advise the likelihood that coin will continue for some time to be remitted from the United States, we may probably look for a steady increase. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 14th August gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Public deposits .. £ 4,828,920; Increase £1,005,207 Other deposits .. 13,803,533 ; Decrease 82,440 Rest .. 3,287,265; Increase 1,869 On the other side of the account— Govei nment securities £14,089,495 ; Increase £298,775 Other securities.. .. 10,740,139 ; Decrease 16,475 Notes unemployed .. 12,667,563 ; Increase 551,665 The amount of notes in circulation is £22,952,555, being a decrease of £87,620 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £21,926,127, show ing an increase of £452,487 when compared with the preceding return. The above circumstances, combined with the recent change of weather highly favourable to har vest operations, have imparted a lively tone to most of our principal markets. In OUr SHAREMARK ET we have had a large business all week, and some severe fluctuations. The account on the day of our last publication did not (as we intimated to be probable) pass over Rithout dis asters, two or three small failures having been announced ; the effect of these, however, has been very transient ; the decline in prices produced by them quickly brought in a host of buyers, and we close this day at the highest point of the week, with every prospect of a much higher market. London and North-Westerns (of which some extensive real sales have been made) alone are heavy. We annex quotations :—Blackburn pref., 24f4-; Caledonians, 211 -; Eastern Counties 111 1 1; East Lancashire, 18 11l 1 1 1; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 811 2 it 2 I 1 1; ditto fifths, 31d ; Liverpool and Southport, 201; London stock, 1231 4 1 4 1 4 ; Sheffield stock, 30 130 ; ditto pref., 12+ ; £6 new pref., 9.16 p p ; Midland stock, 771-. 1 7111 If - T Northern Union A stock, 265 ; Dover stock, 22 11 2 1 2 1 2 2 Hi; York and North Midland, 241; Great Southern and Western, 46N. PRODUCE.—There has been a slow demand for SUGAR, but holders of West India retna;n firm, and extreme prices have been paid for refining de scriptions ; others are offered more freely, and for these and Bengal a decline of 6d. per cwt. may be quoted. Consumption continues very large. COF FEE of the best marks has been actively enquired for by the trade, lower qualities suitable for export being neglected. The RICE Market is dull, owing to the fine weather having caused a cessation in the demand; and prices are about 3d. per cwt. lower. TO-DAY and Saturday the sales of SUGAR com prise 50 hhds. Demerara at 30s. 3d. to 31s. 9d., 60 hhds. vacuum pan Barbadoes at 345. 6d. to 385., 20 hhds. Antigua at 31s. 6d, and 1,000 bags Dates at 335. 6d. to 365. 3d. per cwt. Nothing has taken place in MOLASSES. Of RUM, 200 puns. Deme rara, chiefly of fine quality, have found purchasers at about previous rates. COFFEE continues in fair demand, 650 bags Maracaibo having realised 445. per cwt. There is no alteration in the TEA mar ket, but a fair inquiry exists for most kinds. We have no transactions to notice in RICE or SALT PETRE, but a cargo (400 tons) of NITRATE Of SODA has been sold afloat, for an out-port, at 14s. 3d. per cwt. By public sale this morning, 5,650 bags MYRABOLAMS went off readily at 9s. to 12s. per cwt. We have also to report 500 bags SAGO FLOUR at 14s. 9d. per cwt., and 50 cases CASTOR OIL at 4d. per lb. COTTON.—The business of the week has been large, amounting to 91,820 bales, of ;which specu lators took 36,760, exporters, 10,080, and spinners, 25,000 bales. The market closed at an advance of -4-d. per lb. on some descriptions of American,— " fair" remained unchanged. The stock held in Liverpool, on the 20th instant, was 503,230 bales, against 483,960 last year.—To-DAY.—The demand has fallen off within the last day or two, but, as holders are pretty firm, prices remain much the same as at the close of last week, when the brokers' committee declared the price of fair Cotton to be 6d. for Upland and Mobile, and 61d. for Orleans. The Europa's advices did not affect the market to day. The reports respecting the growing crop are very favourable—some of them even venture esti mates to the extent of 3,000,000 of bales. Five bales of new Cotton had been received. The trans actions of Saturday and to-day are about 12,000 hales, of which speculators and exporters have taken 2,000. The import since Thursday is about 6,000 bales. We close this evening with a steady but lame aspect. GRAIN, &c.—Our Grain market opened on Tuesday last with a firm feeling; but it has slackened during the week, influenced by the fine weather, which has checked speculation. We leave off with American Flour 3d. to 6d. per barrel lower, and Wheat barely maintaining the prices of the previous week, and in limited demand. ASTOUNDING OUTRAGE AT ST. BARTHO LOMEW'S CHURCH. During evening service at this church on Sunday last, and whilst the sermon was being delivered, the congre gation were thrown into great consternation by the smashing of two windows, it is believed by stones, and the discharge of six pistol shots from a street behind the church, principally inhabited by a low Irish population. The sermon was at once stopped ; and some of the con gregaVon were preparing to leave the church, when they were prevented by the interposition of the scripture readers, who persuaded them to remain quiet. Two or three parties immediately ran out to the back, and by the aid of a policeman discovered that the shots came from the house of Patrick M'Manus, a beer shop in Daley street. The stones were ascertained to have been thrown from the front of the church. The man in the beer-shop, who we understand was M`Manus's brother, attempted to account . for the fi r i ng b y stating that the house was broken into on the 9th i ns t., and that he took the oppor tunity of firing a few shots occasionally to prevent a simi lar occurrence ! So rough is the neighbourhood about St. Bartholomew's, that an extra policeman is constantly engaged to protect the building and congregation from injury, LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The French mail packet, arrived at Genoa on the 18th of August, reports that when she left Constantinople, a fire, which had lasted several days, was still raging.
