Another circumstance which has retarded their further increase is the large number of working men who have left the district, through the stoppage of the operations of such concerns as Messrs. Bury's foundry, the re moval of Messrs. Wilson's and Vernon's shipbuild ing yards. and many of the soaperies and alkali works formerly carried on in the neighbourhood. But for these retarding influences, the Council would, before this, have been called upon to enlarge the boys' school. This was originally built to ac commodate only three hundred boys; and al though, about three years ago, an addition was made to it of space for one hundred and fifty more, it is much too small. In estimating the value of the schools in the eyes of the working classes by the number of children attending them, allowance so to be made fcr the numbers who have Church of England by the vi been est lished during the This point we think we have sufficiently proved, that the number of children receiving an education rcater than it was inder the preser at systeem is x nder the liberal" system Ye come next then estion—what is the kind of education given ? It is assumed by the opponents of the present system that in a religious education, secular knowledge is either excluded altogether, or neg lected ; that we cannot combine the teaching of that knowledge, whi c h i s goo d f or men ' s sou l s, with the inculcation of the arts and the acquire ments most useful to them in the daily walks of life. The assumption is preposterous. it leads to the inference that the truths of religion are anta gonistic to the growth of human intellect, and the teachings of God's Holy Word are not useful and required to be followedin our dealings and our conduct in life. To form a valuable member of society, is it more important that a child should be perfect in the multiplication table, the rule of three, and vulgar fractions, than that he should have im pressed upon his heart the commands "thou shalt not steal," "thou shalt not hear false witness ?" We do not think that Mr. George Holt, or any of his supporters, would as willingly entrust their property in the hands of a merely secularly-edu cated man as in the hands of one who, along with the knowledge thus imparted, has been trained from his youth upwards to feel that he is account able to his Maker for every action of his life and for every talent bestowed upon him. But it is not true that useful knowledge is neglected in these schools, or that scripture teaching is the all in all regarded. They afford a knowledge of grammar, arithmetic, history sacred and profane, geography, and every branch of information required by youths in an humble sphere of life. They have done even more than this in many cases. Several of the boys educated in the Corporation Schools are now oc cupying positions of high responsibility, to which they have advanced themselves by excellent con duct, and by following out in life the principles, and to the q using aright the gifts, here implanted early in their minds Let us see what it is which Mr. Holt would change in a system producing such results. His and regulations for conducting the Corporation Schools be so framed as to secure equal ad vantages to all, excluding none, and that, in order to carry out this principle, the Muster Roll be not called over in the morning until the religious services are con- " That the rule: eluded, and that, in the evening, the children of those pa rents who may conscientiously object, shall be at liberty to retire before their commencement. That the use of make an objection thereto, and that a Committee favour able to this view of the subject be appointed to carry the foregoing resolutions into effect.' . . a man of Mr. Holt's intelligence ought to be ashamed. It bears absurdity on the face of it. "Equal advantages to all !" How is a system which can effect this to be devised ? The granting of Mr. Holt's proposals entire would certainly not effect it. It is certainly not an advantage to the poor Roman Catholic child that, whilst others are Nyorshipping their maker, he should be bit mg in the streets i or that, whilst Protestant children — are being taught the history of their creation and should sit aloof, pointed at by his Agot, or an un noottellows as a stiff-necked _ ver ; and that the knowledge most important of 3 a human being should be left to he imparted znorant, or omitted altogether by dissolute, Mr. Holt requires that a portion of the dren should not be required to read the autho rised version of the Bible.

There the communications of friend to friend, or merchant to merchant, tra verse on the wires of the telegraph vast forests, but a few years ago untrodden by the foot of civilized man, through mountains and over rivers, at a cost thought reasonable even in a land of boasted cheap ness. To exchange such communications by this medium has become, in America, a habit—a neces sity. Every journal which we receive from any port in that country brings us news of the events which have occurred, up to the hour of the vessels sailing, in every quarter of a vast continent ; and we have even such news transmitted up to two or three days after a steamer starts on her voyage across the Atlantic, as well as anticipated in Ame rica two or three days before her arrival from Eu rope. How is it that in the limitcd area of these islands the telegraph is not thus freely used ? Be cause it is costly. Because we have allowed it to become a virtual monopoly in the hands of a com pany, which has the private advantage of its_ own shareholders, and we may add, friends, solely in view. We have not taken up this subject, important as it is, altogether with a view of exposing the ineffi . . ciency of the electric telegraph as at present worked. The circumstance which has chiefly directed our attention to the subject is an announcement in the article of the Times, of a movement, by which government hope to repair the consequence of their past errors, and, at the same time, to confer an "incalculable benefit" upon Ireland ! We quote our contemporary's remarks in extenso:— " The constantly increasing commerce with America, and our growing relations, social as well as commercial, with her people, render a rapid communication with the American continent of increasing importance. This ne cessity of trade and society may be made the means of a great improvement in one part of our country, which cer tainly much needs enlightenment and assistance—we mean Ireland ; and her geographical position may be turned to use not simply to increase the rapidity of our correspond ence with America, but to her own good. From the west coast of Ireland to America a voyage by steam might be performed in so short a time as to be measured rather by hours than days. If packets were to sail regularly between the nearest harbour on the western coast and Halifax or New York, and there were direct telegraphic communica tion between that Irish harbour and London, news might be transmitted from the borders of the Mississippi, and ultimately from the western coast of America, to every part of Great Britain and Ireland in less than a week. If, in addition to this telegraphic communication, a railroad were carried across Ireland from east to west, all who pre fer travelling by land would take their final departure from the Irish port, rather than incur the inconvenience and annoyance of the longer sea voyage which is necessary if the voyager start either from an English or a Scotch port. The fastest liners would in that case not be those which sail between Liverpool and America, but Irish ves sels would enjoy that distinction and advantage, and the moral benefit to Ireland resulting from such constant con tact with men of other countries would be incalculable. In such a state of things we should little dread the influ. or look with anxiety upon of Dr. Cullen. The electric would soon put to flight the .nee of the Synod of Thurles, tronotnical teaching h end the railroi emnity by the whole Catholic Our c must excuse our being a little le to i unities at once face the c Tation and e I witt merously the adva and more i that the ed tionthenumt 1 in the 1 SVster last fc from 1 in the dist: children from ti Ind tc 1830 to I 's of the e effect o. g, on ten.

Nay, so far do they prize the excellent edu cation given to them, that we do not think any considerable number would object even to their being taught the Church of England Catechism, which is enforced upon none. We arrive at the conclusion from the fact that of the 350 children attending a Church of England Ragged School, in a street which we could name, if necessary, seven out of ten are Roman Catholics, and are receiving religious instruction eagerly. We have little apprehension of the success of the motion; and perhaps the mover of it himself anti- cipates it as little THE discoveri of science, and the inventive tiAnnl away by our legislature. English statesmanship is, practically, behind the age. It omits to avail itself of opportunities when they occur; and, when it subsequently attempts to remedy its own error, every interference seems doomed to result in added blundering. It was thus with the railway system. We saw one of the most important discoveries of modern times carried out to a successful result, upon a small scale at the first, it is true, but suffi ciently to prove its applicability to the wants of society. Yet we had no statesmen possessed of grasp of mind sufficient to set about devising a comprehensive scheme of railway communications, to be nationally advantageous and nationally remu nerative. We jobbed legislatively in schemes, which being for purely individual profit, should have been strictly divested of every feature resembling monopoly. We allowed the country to be cut up at the caprice of engineers and projectors, each anxious to serve their private interests ; and, at the last hour, when we had permitted the growth of an interest capable almost of dictating to the most powerful government, we set up the farce of a railway commission, to dictate fares, which have proved unremunerative, and to render "confusion worse confounded." As the result, we see on every side capital wasted, and public advantage and con venience unachieved. Worse even than our blindness in relation to the railway system is the use which we have made of the discovery of the applicability of the electric telegraph for the purpose of transmitting commu• nications from place to place. Here, at least, government ought either to have stepped in, or to have ensured to the public the fullest amount of convenience. Government takes upon itself the charge of conveying our ordinary written commu nications, and performs the duty tolerably well, and at the lightest cost ; but it has granted to a company the virtual monopoly of conveying those more important communications, which require to be transmitted with even greater speed and preci sion than the railway train can effect. The result is that, whilst the electric wire is seldom resorted to, by individuals in extreme emergency, and by our own order, the press, at a vast expense, the com pany which has been allowed to set itself up, as the medium through which it was to be made available for the wants of society, is deriving a minimum amount of profit from its monopoly. The London Times, at length, although favoured somewhat, as we have reason to know by them, confesses that the company is not giving to the public the advan tages which the telegraph is affording to other countries. Our contemporary, on Friday last, remarked : "As a mere mercantile adventure the electric telegraph has in England proved comparatively a failure. Its prac tical results have disappointed expectation, and thus the most wonderful discovery of modern times is to us almost without utility, and serves, indeed, for the most part simply to excite wonder at the marvellous feats achieved by modern science. It is talked of, wondered at, and neglected." . . _ The Times proceeds to contrast with this state of things the extensive and the cheap use made of this " most wonderful discovery of modern days" THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

There was, however, to be expected a considerable increase of trades, and particularly at the north end in the coal trade, owing to the proposed improvement for the accommoda tion of the latter. With reference to the cotton trade it was found that during the last fourteen years the cotton crop had been increasing rapidly, as would appear by the following table : IMPORTS OF COTTON INTO GREAT BRITAIN.

Had that increased from 1849 to 1850 as in the previous year, there would have been an increase in the u& ck revenue of £23,000, which would have produced an increase of £lO,OOO instead of the falling-off he had nary ed. The next advantage they had was that they had a large steam dock already open, and they would necessarily require graving docks for repairs. There was no other port in the kingdom, with the ex ception, perhaps, of Plymouth, which could accommodate such large steam vessels. From 1814 to 1849 there had been a great increase in this respect. The speaker then read a table giving the tonnage of steam-vessels belonging to the United Kingdom, which had gone on increasing from the year 1814, when there was only one vessel of 69 tons, until in the last five years it was as follows ; England.

After all that had been said on the subject, it was to remain where it was. Now the wants of the ship-building trade came upon them like another thunder-clap, and they were called upon to advance £lO,OOO for its accommodation. Mr. PARKER.-Gentlemen might cry no, no ; but the plan was to give £45,000 for the land before anything else Mr. ToBIN explained that the report of the committee merely recommended that they should enter into nego ciations for the laud, but did not recommend the-expen diture of any money. Mr. PARKER continued.—He had gone to look at the plans at the office, and on inquiry found that the land would cost what he stated, before it could be brought into use for ship-building purposes. He contended that the conduct of the Dock Committee had drivp. th. ship-builders out of Liverpool. Mr. Wilson was we known all over the world, and he had been driven out trade, and not throw the burthen upon the burgesses He recollected, before 1820, seeing a majestic vessel sai down the estuary of the river, and on inquiry found i was a Liverpool-built ship. There was then a pride in th( shipbuilder and merchants of the town to have Liverpool. built ships. Why were they not still so? Anothei cause for the decline of the trade was owing to the corn. bination of the ship-carpenters, as was stated ; but mud, was to be said for the ship-carpenters, and it was to be regretted that masters and men did not meet together and umers. in conclusion he begged to correo , into which Mr. Tobi n had fallen, in stating that to dock had been op ene d.

A careful Per u— et tbe report would show that it was the Council an d il Dock Committee who had caused the falling sfr Af trade. He contended that the site of the Tobe u r d eew: houses, and the Albert Dock, might more adv eu b h — e - C° ° o l" . have been turned into shipbuilding yards ; but 00, cil, as in the case of the post-office, had been tec' ev ijo 4 ll to make a pound into a guinea.

Then they were told of the enormous number of vessels built in America. They all knew that cheap ships were built in Canada, but they were such things that no merchant here would use them. Did Mr. Tobin suppose that by building this dock and corstructing the float they would be able to compete with the United States ? If he did he was mistaken. For these reasons he (Mr. Parker) should vote against the scheme. He called upon the Council not to be led away by the arguments adduced by Mr. Tobin, and he felt assured that if gentlemen would look at the facts contained in the report, they would not 'opt it. Mr. Parker concluded by movin g th a t th e re- Mr. Alderman DOVER taunted Mr. Parker with voting away £7OO of the money of the burgesses for the esta blishment of a museum, whilst he refused to support the present motion which had for its object the extension of the trade of the port. He would support a motion for the purchase of the dried skin of the rattle snake and petri factions of lawyers' wigs out of the public money, but as soon as he was asked to support a measure, having for its object the support of a trade which had been persecuted out of the town, he stood aghast (laughter).

It was a fact that the town was losing the ship-building trade, for lost it was in com parison with other trades, which would be a loss of £1,000,000 sterling. On the occasion when Mr. Parker spoke about the grant for the Museum, he was pleased to speak of the manner in which he (Mr. Dover) obtained a seat in the Council. He left for once his hops and his malt, and was pleased to say he was pitchforked into that room. Whether Mr. Parker valued it or not, he (Mr. Dover) considered it a high honour to be elected an alderman of the borough, especially when selected as he was in place of one whose position and abilities were higher than his. How would Mr. Parker reconcile his present conduct to his constituents ? Some time ago he was the idol of the people—the pet of their fancies. The DEPUTY-MAYOR called Mr. Dover to order. He considered he was getting a little wide of the question. Mr. DOVER would not pursue the subject further. He was ready to admit that the decline of the ship-building trade was in some degree owing to the combination which existed among the workmen. The committee had, how ever. confined their attention to th 3 promotion of the ship building trade, and so far as he understood, they had left the question as to where it should be accommodated an open question. They went to the consideration of the question not pledged to any site, and if a convenient place was not to be found on this side the water, they were willing to go to the opposite shore. It should be the policy of the town as much as possible to encourage manu factures in the town, but ship-building must be confined to the margin of the river. He was one of those who would in a slight degree risk health for the promotion of trade so as to enable parties to fill their bellies and clothe their backs, and he thought the result would fully justify any vote of money they might be called upon for. They ought, as much as possible, to vary the occupation of the labouring classes, for when the wind prevailed from the east for a length of time, many were thrown out of work, and obliged to apply to the parish, whereas if they could turn to some other employ ment this would be avoided. He did not wish to throw any especial blame upon the Dock Committee for not providing proper accommodation for the ship-building trade. That blame fairly came home, not only to the Council, but also to all of them. They had not been sufficiently alive to the subject. Besides all, before the land came into the hands of the Dock Committee, it be longed to the Council. Why did not the Council tie them down to use the land for ship-building purposes. Again, a great portion of the Dock Committee was elect ed by the Council, and if they did not do their duty, others should have been elected. He thought therefOre the Council ought to bear a fair share of the blame as well as the Dock Committee. They had, it was true, paid too much attention to affording facilities for discharging and loading ships, whereas both the Dock Committee and the Council ought to have made it their first business to promote the building of ships. He (Mr. Dover) was one of those who opposed the granting of the lease to Mr. Wilson for this reason. He did not object to letting the land, but he considered it wrong that the Council should lease land to him engaging at the same time to construct a graving dock for him, when they had hitherto refused to do so for any one on this side the water, thus affording him an advantage not possessed by Liverpool ship-builders. At the period when shipbuilding was in its zenith we had no private graving docks, but they lived in an age of improvement, and now, when it was found they were of advantage, why should_ r they be denied to the shipbuilders of Liverpool ? ground that something ought to be done for the imr the pi in jury Dover then argued in favour of the proposed site otl ev t . ment of the property there as a compensation northftohe proposed to end, and then went on to observe that, it was . p it sustained, owing to the present works at lding yards, make a large dock and surround it with shipbuilding They but not to attach graving docks to all of the f yards. The dock, would not be constructed unless asked f or. t wholly used however, would have to be made, and be appropriated to for shipbuilding purposes, it could by observing, that other purposes. Mr. Dover concluded which would be required, the considering the small sum and he was surprised experiment was well worth trying., there should be any objection to it frame the port anew they Mr. HOLT said if they had to . and c g arry the docks further for shipbuilding purposes, deal with the port as it was, eastward ; but they had to accommodate the shipbuilding trade either and they must the other as was most advanta geous,on this side the river or the margin of the river so far as space might see the necessity o w f a k s ee c p o I n n cerned, for the purpose. He should vote for ref errin g the subject to the dock coin them to manage the details. He, how ever, considering the question, did not wish to confine his in ten ti o n solely to this side of the water. He did not co nsider the c ommittee at all pledg e d to t his s id e o f th e he urged that both sides should be considered, com mittee, leaving river. and Tranmere Pools very eligible sites might have been ob and thought it very possible that either in Wallasey or place plaockeensotoontha: e . ftths , e , ure u r e vwt eh r aye u iol m rdn o oo u ecnxk r tt o iwti f oea t hssiteiabbejuß.k Jackson's ,1::::::: than , s in ub a sid s a t n a c te e -- o likely to require repairs before wet tq uell e i c lt t : he li ' le : s i o n : l o . o .'- i l tlte er : worse for many years.

A special meeting of the Council was held yesterday, for the purpoie of receiving the Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the best means of accommodat ing the Shipbuilding Trades of this port. In the absence of his worship the Mayor, Mr. T. B. Horsfall presided ; and at the opening of the proceedings we noticed 29 members present. The Report, which was read by Mr. Driffield, explained the course which had been adopted by the Committee in pursuance of their inquiries ; and gave a synopsis of the evidence of the various witnesses examined, the principal facts detailed in which are already familiar to our readers. The most important portion of it requiring notice is the conclusions at which they have arrived, and which they recommend for the adoption of the Council. Believing that the cost of taking the land now occupied by the Tobacco Warehouses might be great, and that the s'te of the Harrington Estate, and the west sides of the Brunswick and Queen's Docks, could not he made avail able without injury to the timber trade, they have come to the conclusion to recommend the securing of the land eastward of the new steam dock, and north of the San don Graving Dock. The following extract from the Report itself will best explain the Committee's views : "This plan, therefore, your committee recommend for adop tion. The site is to the eastward of the new Steam Dock, and immediately north of the Sandon Graving Dock. It is proposed to make a Launching Dock, which would be a repairing dock also, having all conveniences prepared for putting large boilers into steam-ships, taking out masts, &c. ; and, in fact, every thing that can facilitate and cheapen the cost of repairing. This dock would be about no feet wide, amply sufficient for launch ing a vessel into, (the launching space at Hull and in the Clyde being nothing like so great.) Around this dock would be ranged the building-yards, attached to which would be a private grav ing-yard for each dock. The estimated cost of such a dock would be £45,000, and would contain about 50,000 yards of water space, leaving 143,000 yards of land to let for buitding yards and graving docks, which your committee recommend should be let in lots of about 10,000 yards each, as required. This would give fourteen good building-yards, and at the mini mum rate of Bd. per yard would produce an annual revenue of .e 4,766. After a few remarks io commendation of their plan, the report proceeds : •` Your committee, therefore, recommend that they be au thorised at once to enter into nego7iation with the dock com mittee for the purpose of making this land available, and to take steps to ascertain what parties would be desirous of taking yards. They also recommend that such !reductions be made in the rents of the present tenants of the Corporation as the Council may, under all the circumstances, think prudent, and that steps be taken to render the land, now in the hands of Mr. Royden and others, at the west side of Queen's dock, as com modious as possible, no expense in such case being incurred without the sanction of the Council being first obtained." Mr. Alderman DOVER wished the prayers of the various memorials presented on the subject to be read. Mr. HORSFALL (the deputy-mayor) said the memorials had already been read, but if the Council wished, they could be read again. Mr. Alderman DOVER did not wish them to be read at length, but merely that they should be enumerated. The DEPUTY-MAYOR said they werp not then in the room, butthe Town -clerk would send for them, if necessary. Mr. Alderman DOVER enumerated the several memo rials which had been presented to the Council on the sub ject, which were from the shipbuilders, the shipowners, the ship-carpenters, and others. Mr. TOBIN said the report which had just been read contained so full - an account of the views of the memorial so Tres. ists, and was 1 in the minds of the members of the council, that he did not think it requisite to have the me- so full an exposition Of the subject, that it might suffice if he (Mr. Tobin) were to content himself with merely moving the adoption of the report ; but there were various reasons which would induce him to enter more fully into the subject than he was in the habit of doing. Whilst, therefore, on the one hand he was anxious to lay before the council such details connected with the subject as would enable them to come to a sound and just conclusion ; on the other he felt anxious to claim their indulgence,lest the great interest should suffer from his feeble advocacy. He was however, happy to find that not only were the Council alive to the importance of • but- _ tne subject, but having been each furnished with a copy of the evidence laid be fore the Committee, be believed they had made them selves fully acquainted with it. The Committee, in their investigations, found that there were nine ships building in Liverpool, occupying yards to the extent of from 2.000 . . square yards to 5,000 or 6,000 square yards, at a rental of from ls, 3d. to Is. 6d. per yard. He found that, during the year 1849, there were 2374 tons of shipping built, whilst during the present year there had been 3.164 tons already launched, and it was expected that before the end of the year there would be about 700 tons more launched ; but the ship-builders were of opinion that they would have considerable difficulty in maintaining their present position. He held in his hand a statement of the vessels built in Liverpool during the last thirty years. He was not able to procure a statement of what had been done previous to that period, but he believed that before the -19°1 year 18.,, more vessels had been built than since that pe riod. The speaker then alluded to a statement in the Morning Chronicle which he said was founded on mis takes, as it contained the tonnage of such vessels as the Bentinck, the Hindostan, and those belonging to the City of Dublin Company, which, although built here, were not registered in Liverpool, and hence the falling off in the shipbuilding trade was greater than was represented. They would find in the evidence given by Mr. Wilson that he condemned the system of public graving docks as inju rious to the shipbuilding trade of the port. He said the shipbuilding was now almost entirely carried on by apprentiees - . He said it was now a mere auxiliary to the repairing business ; that when he carried on business at the north end he employed double the number of journey men in his yard for ten :years of all the other ship builders, and where he had one apprentice, he had half a dozen journeymen. Thus it was proved, that while Liverpool had been going down, Hull, Bristol, and other ports, had been making giant strides, and in the Clyde vessels had been built superior to anything in the world. It was, therefore, manifest, whilst Liverpool had been inert, other ports had been exerting themselves to the utmost, and had acquired a pre-eminence which would require the greatest skill, together with all the advantages which could be afforded, to compete with them. From statements he had obtained, he found that in Sunderland the number of vessels built in 1849, as compared with 1834, was just four times the amount ; that from 1834 the shipbuilding trade had gradually (except in 1843) gone on increasing. He then read the following:— Number of vessels and tons built at Sunderland. From 14th April, 1834 Ships. Tons. Tons. Average. „ 1835.. 98.. 26134.. 2663 each.. 1843.. 85.. 21377 30th „ 1836.. 114.. 27703.. 243 ..1844 „ 1837.. 128.. 32342.. 252§ .. 1845 „ 1838.. 180.. 43512.. 2422-9 „ .. 1846 „ 1839.. 247.. 59441.. 2401 „ 1847..148..46901 ~ 1840.. 251.. 64446.. 2564-5 „ 1818..142..37878 ~ 1841.. 246.. 62654..2541 „ .. 1849..155..44333 The increase had been exceedingly rapid, and far surpassed any other port in this country. He found that in 1849 the number of vessels built in this country was only just one-half of what they built in the United States, so that it was not only of local but of national interest that every facility should be afforded to the trade. The speaker re ferred to the following statement : Number and tonnage of vessels built in the United Kingdom Sailing Vessels. Steamers. Toial. Ships. Tons. Vessels. Tons. Ships. Tons. 1815 .... 783 .. 112336 .. 65 .. 10894 .. 853 .. 123230 1846 .... 732 .. 109394 .. 77 .. 15956 .. 809 .. 125350 1847 .... 830 .. 129664 103 .. 16170 .. 833 .. 145834 1848 733 .. 107218 .. 114 .. 15334 847 122552 1849 .... 662 .. 105455 .. 68 .. 12498 .. 730 .. 117953 On comparing the statements which he should lay before them, they would see that though Liverpool pos sessed the advantage of having timber and iron cheap as compared with other ports, so as to render shipbuilding a profitable occupation, it was less than at other ports. The mistaken policy of the Dock Committee was another cause ; the appropriation of the margin of the river for docks, instead of taking them from the eastward, incom modious yards, high rents and taxes, together with fre quent removals, had all produced their effects. With regard to graving docks, he considered any plan fatal without private graving docks, but he would not do away with the public ones. He regretted also to find from the evidence of the men that there was no more work for them now than in 1844. It had been stated, with some truth, that most of the repairs had been done in other ports, which partly arose from the want of a good under standing between the masters and men. After some ob servations respecting the accommodation of the timber trade, which required land for that purpose at the south end, the speaker gave the following table : Timber imported from the Baltic and British America into Hall, Oxford, has been appointed Principal of the - Church of England Me.

The meeting is to be held at Birkenhead ; and after the transactions of the usual business, the brethren will attend divine service at St. John's Church, when there will be full Cathedral service, and a sermon preached by the Rev. Incumbent of Oxton. The banquet will take place at the Monk's Ferry Hotel, at which the noble lord will preside. SHOCKING DEATH.—A man named George Maclean, who resided at No. 5, Field street, died on Sunday, under the following shocking circumstances :—On the previous night ho returned home in a state of intoxication, in company with a friend, who left him asleep on a sofa ; on the following morning, the unfortunate man was found prostrate on the floor, bleeding from a wound at the back'of the head, insensible. Mr. Gill, a surgeon, was called in, but could not prevent the fatal effects of the injuries, as death ensued soon afterwards.

It is of large size and very superb work manship, bearing on one- side a richly chased device, re presenting a Christian bishop wearing a mitre. His right hand is uplifted, as in the act of blessing the people ; his left holds a book closed, whilst the pastoral crook rests in the curve of the arm. On his right is a female sitting, wearing a Welsh hat, with an infant on her knee. On his right is a young man in the attitude of prayer, kneeling and looking up with clasped hands. The whole is sur mounted by a passage in Welsh from the Acts of the Apostles, of whieh the following is the Fnglish version : " Speaking in our own tongue the wonderful works of God." We believe that the design of this beautiful medal and the execution of the mode were the work of Frank Howard, Esq., of this town, and both reflect the highest credit on his artistical skill.

WC would direct the attention of our readers to Mr. Colles's advertisement in our paper of this day, by which it will be seen that he has replenished his stock of magical novelties, which was nearly exhausted, and has added some which we have not seen before no less surprising and amusing than those which have already called forth the admiration of his visitors. Amongst others, one particularly strikes us as being little less than miraculous—performed with a marked sovereign. Indeed, so perfectly unaccountable is this illusion, that we will not attempt even a description of it, as we should fail in doing justice to its merits : it must be seen to be appreciated. Now that the long even ings begin to make fireside amusements more sought after, Mr. Colles's harvest begins, and we imagine that few have contributed more to enliven the domestic circle than he has done, and will do, long after he has taken his depar ture. All who desire to lay in a stock of innocent amuse ment for themselves and friends, for years to come, should pay him a visit ; and even those who desire only an hour's amusement, will find it at Mr. C.'s apartments in Bold street.
