MOST IMPORTANT ON THE TURKISH QUESTION. 11Torthern Daily Times Office, Friday Morning Whave just received the following most im- portant despateli from our Loudon correspondent. We regret that it holds out very little hope •of a peaceful solution of, the Turkish difficulty LONDON, THURSDAY AFTERNOON However the Emperor of Russia may now move for peace, however he may now express his willing ness to disown the insolent note which has wounded the suSceptibilities of diplomatists, and enraged the frank and bolder feelings of the people of Western Europe ; the latest intelligence, both from Paris and Vienna, .iMplies but ,to one con viction that it is " too late." Ominous Words There is but one contingency upon which we can place dependence for the maintainance of peace; and that is that the Turks should give an additional proof of their moderation, by deferring the actual commencement of hostilities, until after the close of the renewed conference at Vienna. But at present we are totally destitute of positive infor mation whether those conferences have even been resumed ; whilst it is certain that if they leave no result can yet have been attained likely to inter pose between no formal declaration, and the real commencement of war. Under these circumstances, and relying upon the accuracy of yesterday's news, our hopes of a peaceful solution of this long endured difficulty are very slender indeed. IT was at , Olmittz that the Emperor of Russia appearsto have first expressed pacific intentions and moderate views. It was there, probably, that he first became aware of the true attitude of the Western powers, and of his own false position. There, too, most likely, some idea of the tre mendous risks and responsibilities he was incur ring, first darted across his mind. But, wherever and however, this change of tone arose, it is, perhaps, sincere. With two enormous squadrons, ready to enter the FAuxine, and two others to block ade the Baltic, whilst a French army of 30,000 is embarking for the Turkish territory, we are bound to believe that the Czar is sincerely disposed to re consider his position. But it may be " too late." For the Turks have the initiative ; and if, in the exercise , of their undoubted right, they do attempt to expel the invaders, Russia cannot decline the issue The following is the news received in London yesterday in the order in which it arrived:— VIENNA, WEDNESDAY EVENING The Oesterrcichische Correspondenz announces the arrival of the Constantinople mail of the 27th at Trieste. The advices were that an immediate declaration of war was not improbable, although ;expectations were indulged in that mutual,- concessions might still be made. There were six English, one Sardinian, one Nea politan, one Austrian, one Prussian, and four French war steamers lying in the Bosphorus. The Lamas of Wednesday - evening; announces that grave changes lave been made in.the.position of affairs with regard to the East It states that, according to news received in Paris, the Divan met on the 25th, and unanimously decided that the Sultan could not accept the Vienna note, and that this resolution was communicated to the . ambas sadors. • • . • The Debats then adds, "At a second meeting of the Divan, held on the 26th, it was decided that the negotiations were exhausted, that preparations for hostilities were regulated, and a solemn procla mation of war decreed." A teleiraphic dispatch from Vienna, dated the 3rd inst., and published in the Cologne Gazette, states that the Emperor of Austria, and the Arch duke Ludwig Charles, left the previous evening for Warsaw. The same despatch also states that the Vienna Lloyd mentions a report that the Divan had on the 20th of September resolved upon an eventual declaration of war against Russia. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. EVENING. (From the Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.) ' I understand from good authority that the French Government decided, at a Council of Mi nisters' held at St. Cloud, that a corps cr armee of 3(},000 meii shall be embarked on board the At lantic squadron, and sent, out to Constantinople, there to be landed: General Canrobert will, I Understand, have the command of .this body ; so that the rumour which - prevailed yesterday at the Bourse, of that officer's departure for Turkey, had a tolerably fair foundation - The uneasiness felt here is exceedingly on the increase, and at present very few persons are to be found who venture to hope for the maintenance of peace. . It is said also that troops from England are to be embarked in Admiral Corry's squadron, and that their des tination is likewise to be Constantinople. Whether this latter piece of intelligence is correct or not, you are more likely to be ruble to' ascertain than parties here. Strict orders have been given to suspend all leave of absence or furloughs through out the French army, at least for some time to come. Yesterday the Emperor of the French, in a conversation with M. Firmin Rogier, the Belgian repreSentative at Paris, on the affairs of the East, terminated his remarks by saying—" Be certain, my dear Minister, that the matter once entered on will not be. long." It 'is worthy of remark that a counter-order was despatched by electric telegraph to General de Guyon, of the French service, forbidding him to proceed to Warsaw, whither the Emperor of Russia had invited him to witness the manoeuvres of the Russian troops ; and it is perhaps still more strange, if the German journals are to be believed, that the Emperor of Russia left Warsaw on the very clay of his arrival, after a delay of only two hours and a half. The German Journal of Frankfort gives this intelligence in a letter from Warsaw, dated the 29th Ult. The words of the letter are :—" The Emperor of Russia, . accompanied by the hereditary Grand Nike, arrived here yesterday afternoon at two o'clock, from Ohnutz. At half-past four o'clock his Majesty continued his journey to St.' Petersburg." Now; when it is borne in mind that the elecilic telegraph has announced the departure of the Em peror of Austria and the King of Prussia for War- saw, to meet his Majesty; and - that the Emperor of Austria has been invited by the Czar to attend ,the military mancetivres whieh are about to take place near that city, this haste to reach St. Petersburg looks exceedingly ominous. The Presse of this evening contains the following article in reference to the duties of the troops to be sent out to C :onstantinople hicli England. and France will perform is thus traced out —to circumscribe the war at which they will be present as juges - de camp ; to oppose all revictualling of the Russian army by sea, in the event, les'S film' ever probable, of the victory of the . Russians over the Turks ; to pre vent, by force if necessary; the Russians from crossing the line of the Danube, and of the Balkans; and to maintain the European equilib rium such as it has been established by treaties. The most _affable understanding -exists, not only between the . English mid. French ,Governments, but also between the commanders-in-chief of the two squadrons. • Admiral Hamelin being older than Admirad Dundas, the latter has courteously offered.,to place himself under the. orders of the former. Notwithstanding the very marked recep tion at Olmiitz of General Guyon by the Emperor Nicholas, the prompt return of this general to Paris is announced." • • • "A report of the entrance of the combined spuadrons into the, DardanelleS has been current to-day. - After the entrance of the frigates, the presence of the two Squadrons would add nothing to the significancy of the act. The fact is, how ever, not improbable, for the anchorage at Besika, although good during the summer, is not tenable during tha winter." - It gas already been stated that more than 800 Poles have inscribed their names at the Turkish embassy, and offered their services to the Porte, in the event of a war with RUssia. The Preise pub lishes a letter addressed to. Reschid Pacha by M. Christian Ostrowski, written in the name of his fellow-countrymen, repeating this offer to the Turkish Minister of Poreign Affairs. The Cootitittionnel, after giving the telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated the :3d, says "Some information which we have received per- . mits us to add to these details. At the reiterated request Of M. de Bruck, theinternuncio of Austria:, the Divan met on the 25th ult , to deliberate anew on the note of Vienna. The Divan was unanimous in deciding .that the Porte could then less than ever, in presence of the interpretation given to that document by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, accept it, without its having first received the modifica tions indicated by Reschid Paella. That deter mination was to be- communicated to the ambassa dors of the four Powers. The Divan also decided that a grand Council should be convoked for . the next day to examine the situation. That meeting took place the next day, and this is what is said to have been decided : first of all, it was resolved that the system of negotiations was exhausted ; next, all the measures necessary for the lasepreparatives of defence Were regulated ; lastly, it. was - declared that the moment had arrived for making what was called at Constantinople ..the declaration of. war. It is this without doubt which the Vienna despatch indicates by the general terms, that the Divan had come to resolutionS iii the sense of war." The Third Edition of the Morning Chronicle con tains the following : (BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.) (FROM OUR VIENNA CORRESPONDENT.) VIENNA,- THURSDAY; Accounts have been received, per Trieste tele graph, from Constantinople, to the 26th. The French and Austrian Ambassadors had urged the Sultan to accept the Vienna Note ; but he had refused to do so. The Grand National Cotincil consequently met, and approved unanimously of the Ministers' con duct in recommending war. A meeting was alc. held to frame an address to the Sultan, requesting him solemnly to declare war. • The Berlin telegraphic correspondent announces the departure of General Guyon for Warsaw. Report says that the Austrian soldiers on fur lough are all to be reealled forthwith. Another telegraphic despatch, via Trieste, says " The beginning of the war is very probable,. Fir mans with regard to it were expected .on the 27th, and were already sent to head-quarters. " There was great financial ernbarrasSment, and a great augmentation of paper currency." OBTAINING FRAUDULENT POSSESSION OF GOODS BY IVIIOLESALE-EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Mary Ann Sadler, who had the appearance of a domestic servant, and was, dnring the greater part of the examination, in tears, was placed, in, the dock, at the Manchester City Police Court, yesterday, on a charge of having obtained, a great quantity of goods under false pretences, &c. • Mr. Superintendent TAYLOR, of the D division of police, who conducted the prosecution, stated that the prisoner was charged with going round to different shops in the town, and getting therefrom boots, shoes, stays, and other articles of wearing apparel, a system of plunder which she had carried on- for a great length of time. • Mr. Ford, a boot andshoe maker, in Oxford-road, stated that, on the 23d of August last, the prisoner came to his shop with a piece of paper, stating she wanted a pair of boots for a Mrs. Roberts. He asked who she was, and she stated she was a lady living up towards Rusholme. Witness said he was not satisfied, and refused to let her have the boots. The prisoner then said Miss Johnston had recom mended her t 9 his shop,' and, as he knew a Miss Johnston, he thought it might be true that she knew something of the matter. Two ether ladies in the meantime came into the shop, and while he was looking for boots to give to the prisoner, his shopman, Mr. Rodgers, came in, and he re quested Rodgers to go with "the prisoner, and bring back either the money or the boots. Foreman Rodgers stated, that he went with the prisoner, who had the boots, and on getting to the house , she pretended was her master's, she requested witness to stand a few moments at the front door, as there was no one in but her master and mistress, and that she would go the back way and open the door. Witness never apprehended the female to be a thief; she went away and never returned, He could not positively swear that the prisoner was the female in question, though he walked with her at least a quarter of a mile. Mr. "Taylor, a pawnbroker, Greek-street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, stated that a young woman came to his place of business on the 23rd of August, and pawned a pair of' boots. He could not identify the prisoner as the female who did so ; nor. could his assistant, George Bell, who was the next witness, and who advanced 3s. upon the boots. Mr. Hardy; a pawnbroker, Brook-street, Chorlton-upon- Medlock, stated that on the.23rd Of August, a woman pledged a pair of boots with him, but he could not identify the prisoner as the woman. Mr. Ford swore to several pairs of boots produced (which had been obtained at the pawn broker's) as his property. Miss Mortimer, who keeps a boot and shoe shop in Claren don-street, Charlton-on Medlock, stated that on the 29th of August last, the prisoner came for some pairs of boots, stat ing that they were for her mistress, Miss Jones, who was going to be a teetotaller. Witness said she would send her sister along with the prisoner and the boots, which she did. The sister stated that she went with the prisoner to Storey street, where she took the boots, and ordered the sister to wait .until she returned, which of course she never did. Mary Ann Farringdon spoke to the prisoner having pawned with her employer, Mr. Burgess, two pairs of boots, for which ls. per pair was advanced. The shopman of Mr. Ryder, another pawnbroker, stated that the prisoner had pawned a pair of boots with him. Miss Mortimer, the prosecutrix, identified the boots produced as her property. Miss Mary Evans, (in the next ease) stated that alio was in charge of the shop in, 133, Oxford Road, and that on the 23rd of September, the prisoner' came to the shop and said that she was sent by Mrs. Roberts, of Plymouth Grove, for some stays, and stating that the price was to be about 18s. and that she wished a boy to accompany her with the stays to the residence of Mrs. Roberts. Under these circumstances, nine pail; of stays were given to the prisoner, and their value was between £6 and £7. The boy who accompanied the prisoner with the stays stated, that she made off from him at the corner of Hyde Road, near Shakspeare-street, taking with her the stays. Miss Ellen Taylor stated, that on searching the prisoner at the station house, she found upon her a pair of stays, which were afterwards identified as the property of the prosecutrix. Four other pairs were disposed of by the prisoner, at a shop in Deansgate, and three pairs were found in the house of, the prisouer, Harwood-street, Hulme, when apprehended on Wednesday. In the next case the prisoner was charged with having under circumstances similar to those in the preceding case, obtained from William Cox, a boot and shoemaker, Ludlow street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, two pairs of boots, which she afterwards pawned. In the next case the prisoner was charged with having, on the 28th of Sept., under like circumstances, obtained from Mrs. Mary Theldon,_ wild keeps a shop . in Stretford New Road, a quant4 of ladies' chemises, which she said were for MrS.

Bank, Bold-street.. The Lord Bishop of CHESTER - presided. The meeting having been opened .with prayer, • The CHAIRMAN briefly apologised for the temporary absence of-the venerable Archd e a con B roo k s , . an d then said the proper course was for the Secretary to read. the report for the' ast year: Since they had last met, they lead received a munificent offer from Mr. Naylor, to furnish them a stipend for two - additional curates, challenging, as a condi tion; the gentlemen of Liverpool, and the • friend's • of the Cluirch, to raise an equal sum to that which "he*.bad given, in ordor to supply two more additional curates. That challenge had been properly and handsomely - answered, and the four 'curates were now usefully at work: Vie Rev. Rector CAMPBELL : . ' Not exactly, three only are appointed. The CirAmax : Three were, at work, but, in a few - Weeks, they would have the Pleasure of seeing the fourth at Wor)i iii the same district. One goOd work . helped another of the. same description.' He had great pleasure in hearing since he came there, and he hoped he was not-premature in announcing it, that not only w ere th e y ge tti ng a dditi ona l Curates.. to .do the work, but he hoped there was a prospect of getting what they still wanted—additional churches ; andnr one instance, in the north-west portion of the town, whop() churell was greatly wanted, he was happy and gratefuLto.say that Mr. John Shaw Leigh had.most muni ficently promised to give a site of land of great pecuniary value, for to have. erected thereon a new..chursh, if the people, would but respond by building it.: (Hear, hear.) They were aware of the price of land iii Liverpool,. where it was not-valued by acres but by yards, and kOW much it was worth ; and they could well understand_ the value of the gift which Mr. Leigh had expressed his intention, of making, if they eould but get the money to erect the church. The Rev. Mr. - Tommx, As;'istant Secretary, • then read the report:— " The income from this diocese, for the society's general pur poses, has risen from £6OO to £7OO per annum ;• , but the .per manent increase may be estimated at about £2OO per annum, 'mouse the donations from patrons, amounting to £lOO of the former.sum have been replaced by annual subscriptions. The fund of £4OO a year, restricted under Rule VI to the employ. ment of four additional curates in Liverpool,: has been accom plished,. and your committee beg leave to express most sincere gratitude to the clergy and the merchants of Liverpool, for the kind and generOus support which has been given to this impor tant work. Twenty-four curates in this diocese may now be considered on the society's lists ; and for twenty of these the society is responsible for £1,155 per annum; only £7OO being supplied by the diocesan association. It must be remembered, therefore, that the operations of the society, during the year, have led to an increased voluntary expenditure in the cause of Christ, of £6OO per annum, and that the diocese is yet beholden to it for the gift of £455 per annum. " Last year the statement of the incumbent of St. Barnabas, -Liverpool, 'was circulated, and his account of the first year's progress of an additional curate will be distributed. The re moval of the incumbent has occasioned regrett to the committee, but they have reason to rejoice that the wants of his new charge at Kirkdale have been made known in consequence of the change; and they trust that under other auspices the exertions of. the curate will continue to be a blessing to- the locality. It will further prove the necessities of our large towns to state that in the assignment of curates the conmittee were compelled to pass by, for the present, the claims of Kirkdale, as well as those of a district containing 14,000 people,. chiefly members of the church of England, and all under the care of one clergyman. • " The second curate received his nomination to St. Nicholas Church, with . cure of souls in Trinity district, until a better arrangement can be made. Hitherto his duties have been chiefly limited to visitation of the district. He finds a large population of nearly 7000 people willing to attend his public ministrations, but lie bas no place of worship in which to assemble them, for Trinity Church is not available for his purpose, the pews being in . the possession of various owners who are entitled to pew rents, as theyarethemselves responsible to the minister of the church for .certain ground-rents, from which his salary. is derived ; and many of the inhabitants of the district have-not the ability, if they had the will, to pay for sittings; hence' the exertions of , the curate are greatly impeded. " The third curate has been nominated by the archdeacon to St. Peter's Church, with cure of souls in the •district contagous to Trinity' district, and known as the second St. Peter's district. It is bounded by -Moss-street, London-road, Norton -street, and Islington, and contains nearly 6000 people. A similar dfficulty will have to be encountered, arising from the want of a place of worship situated in the district, the distance t o St. Perer's Church being considered a reason for the. neglect. of public worship. "There are no schools in either of these districts ; many of the children who attend school go to dissenting schools, and many do not attend school at all. "We may surely hope for some effort ort. - the part of the 13,000 inhabitants of these two adjacent districts" to supply thetnselves with a church and s c h oo l s as soon as the ministra tions of the curates have led them to feel their spiritual needs. " Unavoidable delays have hindered the assignment of the fourth curate, but he will shortly be phiced'in a district con taining not less than 10,000 souls. "It is the intention of the committee, with the sanction of the bishop, to open licensed rooms for" divine service, unless some better plan can be devised. It is impossible to estimate the ,blessings which may result from this work s for its great im- • portance is only now beginning to be manifested." The. Rev. Rector CAMPBELL moved that' the report read, be adopted, printed, and circulated. He thought he need not use many words to recommend the resolution to the favour of the Meeting, because the rep t' was well drawn up, and expressed all they w i s h e d on the Present occasion. Neither need he exert himself to recommend the Society to the favour of the present meeting ; but for some- reason which he • must confess for the life of him, he, could not comprehend, there appeared to be an impression on the minds of some individuals, for whom he had the. greatest possible respect, that this was what wascalleda party society. He (Mr. Campbell) could not really understand how it could be a party society, presided over by all the bishops of the church, patronised. by them, and recommended to them by their diocesan. (Hear, hear.) He could not understand what the term meant ; neither could he understand how the society, , by its constitution, could possibly be a party society: It did not interfere with the appointment "of the clergy; it did not appoint the officiating clergy itself; it left it to the incumbents. An 'incumbent with 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, and sometimes 20,000 of a population, pressed, as he must necessarily be, by the difficulties - of his situation, applied to the society. If the society had the means, they promised him a grant, and they left him the selection of the clergy man, without reference to party at all. (Hear, hear.) And he (Mr. Campbell) did not know an instance - where there was any undue bias which induced the Parent committee either to object to any person who wns recommended, or to force any clergymen, holding peculiar opinions on incum bents. He could not imagine what room there could be for peculiar opinions. They wanted men to preach the word of God, to go amongst the poor, to visit the poor, to " spend themselves and be spent in the se rv i ce o f th e i r L or d J esus I Christ." • le did not know what .loom there was for such controversy, on such matters, and he verily believed the society was as completely free from imputation or -suspicion of the kind, as any society could possibly be. It was hardly necessary tO.dwell on this point at any greater length, but it might be expedient to attempt to remove such an impression from the minds of respectable individuals, and to request them to examine into the - workings of the society, to :point out any case of party spirit which it had evidenced, to represent the case to the committee in London, and to the bishops, and he (Mr. Campbell) had not the least doubt but it would be very speedily righted, and all imputations •of party spirit disavowed. (Hear, hear). There was one subject more to which he wished to call the attention of the Lord Bishop anti of the meeting., it was to the exertions of the Bev. Mr. Tomlin, they were principally indebted for the prosperity of the Liverpool and diocesian branches of the society. Mr. Tomlin had worked day and night in the service, and to him was owing in a great measure that £4OO a year, which they had obtained for the parish of Liverpool. For this statement he (Mr. Campbell,) had the testimony of Mr. Charles Grove, one of tbeir most persevering labourers, who had told him were it.not for Mr. Tomlin, the funds would not be raised, and that the greatest possible credit was due to him. (Hear, hear). As regarded any party spirit in the town of Liver pool, he (Mr: Campbell,) had a great deal . to do with the selection of the three clergymen who had been appointed, and he should have something to do with the fou r th, an d h e wanted to get a man (althoug it was difficult to work in such a place as this, for the miserable remuneration of .ElOO a year,) with a disposition to do nothing but his duty to GO and man. .Mr, -Anthony SWAINSON seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. ITU Rev: Kir. DOVER proposed the second resolution, urging the necessity of more extended support being given to. the society. Immediately after the last census was taken (observed the Revd. gentleman, an account of the number of inhabitants in the St. Barnabas district was given at the Census office he found there were n o l es& th an 16 ,000 per sons in the district in which himself and a single Curate were at work. He immediately applied to - the local associ ation for additional help, and shortly after Mr. Naylor's liberal offer was made to the Society, and the consequence was that a young gentleman was appointed 'to a sub-district,. conta*ng 4,000 or 5,090 inhabitants. He had gnce,been laboaritig therawith great earnestness and.zeal, and it .would be an encouragement to those who subscribed 'to the funds to know that his visits had been received with very great kindness by the inhabitants, and a very serious impression the work of the church, .was_to supply additional cleig clergymen were si under their labours in consequence of the burthens impu, on them. If gentlemen would hitt ge with them into th dens and polluted places in Liverpool, the - y would require m -ument to show the necessity of supporting this soCi ,ymen to labour amongst a popuation increasing in ignorance and vice, because they wanted addi tional shepherds to watch over them and bring them back to the fold of Christ. • • . The Rev. Mr. Tom seconded the resolution which was agreed to. The Venerable Archdeacon BROOKS, who had entered the meeting a short time previously, .proposed the next resolu tion. He said, My Lord and gentlemen, the resolution put into my hand is this:--" That the Committee would again earnestly solicit the attention of their friends to the need of the district Clergy, with a view to the formation of a branch of the endowment fund Of the society." —As far as I under stand. .. this resolution, it is a proposal to establish in the town of Liverpool, founded- by subscription or donation, for the purpose of endowing, or rather adding to the endowments of those of our district churches, which are now inade quately supplied. As lam addressing gentlemen Who are principally resident in the town of Liverpool ; and know the circunstances attending it, I need hardly sgy to them, that several of our churches; like those i n o th e r p a rt s; o f this, and the neighbouring diocese, and in the manufacturing dis= tricts, are exceedingly inadeqnately provided for. I say, we arc even worse, generally speaking, than they are in the manufacturing districts; for many of the churches there, have been built under the act of parliament, which enabled the 'commissioners to increase the endowment to £l5O per year. Now, of course; the 'expense attendant on the living of a clergyman in the ;town of Liverpool, and the constant calls upon his purse, which he is obliged to answer to a cer tarn degree,—to answer so far as his means extend,—not only obliged, but which I may generally say, he has the pleasure of doing. Yet still, .unless he has the means, he cannot exert himself beneficially for the wants of the poor, who are immediately under his care, and no doubt, you will think it is a matter of great regret, when a clergyman is obliged to visit in the neighbourhood Of his own . populous district, ind that he finds eases of great want, of great necessity, of great poverty. of great distress which- he has nu even of assisting. But even independent of this ; gentlemen, the pittance with which many of the district churches in Liver , pool are provided is literally not sufficient to maintain the mere individual himself; independently of anything lie can do for others. (Hear, hear.) - I know there was an attempt made, a short time ago' to establish an endowment f un d i n the Toxteth-park end' of Liverpool, and the Rev. Mr. Hampton took a great interest and exerted himself very much. It did not succeed. I am sorry it did not. There is a feeling which has certainly au operation in pre venting such a fund as an endowment fund being established, and that is, that the nominations to the churches belong to individuals,'in many cases. There was an act of parliament which, I think, was a very unwise one; however, it was passed into law, and it arose from an unfortm jealousy, and from a want, I will say, of moral courag the part of the ministry of the day. The churches—many of them—in Liverpool, and also in other places, where corporations were established, were in the gift of the cor porate bodies, when the act passed, which did away with the test act, and was followed by • the reform bill, which admitted persons of. all denominations into the bodies corporate. They said, " What are we to do with the churches, because now the corporate bodies do not consist of gentlemen of the Church of England, but of gentlemen of all sects and parties ? How, then, are we to do ? "Would it be right or proper that persons who do not belong to the Church of England, who belong to other sects, should have the presentation to those churches which are churches in the establishment ?" • The arguments pro and con were gone into, and they found there was more difficulty in the question than perhaps had been at first imagined, when, accidently, one gentleman of some influence in the House of Commons, got up and said, " Let them sell them." Well, this plan 'was adopted. The corporate bodies were compelled to •sell their church preferments within a given space of time, and if they had not sold them within the prescribed period, they were no longer to present, but the presentation was to go to Bishop. If the act had said "-we will not wait until they sell them, we will buy them from them, and then they shall go to the Bishop of the diocese," it would have been all very well. I should be glad to know who could be better able to judge of the talents, qualifications, and ability of his clergy, and who were the most fit to fill those livings, when vacant, than the gentleman who presides over the whole diocese; and to whom the circumstances of the whole diocese, from his position, must be well known. This, however, was not done. • The determination was otherwise, and the Churches have gone into the hands of private individuals. These • are two or three bad conse quences. In the first place, by those churches being in the hands of a public body, the clergy who came here, and who were induced to come here, and settle in this great and populous town, and :to *employ themselves in the laborious office to which they were. called. When the churches were in the hands of a public body, and there was an oppor tunity of promotion; like all the rest of the world, we, of the church, felt it necessary, sometimes, to wish we were better off than we really were, and therefore, like others. looked forward for promotion in our own course, in our own profession, and this encouragement was taken away. It was no longer a public body that had the power of raising a gentleman. lam one of those who came into the town as a curate. (Hear, hear.) And the first place I went to after coming here, was to St. ;Tames' Church, and I worked as a curate in the town of Liverpool for a considerable number of years, and, like all the rest, I felt a want— 'the Rev. Rector CAMPBELL : How much for ? The Venerable Archdeacon BROOKS : I shall surprise you when I tell you for the 'first 15 or 16 years, I worked for £lOO a year. Well, gentlemen, what kept me in Liverpool ? I will not say it was the pure love of performing the duties attendant on my ministerial prOfession : I cannot take to myself what is not true... If any man offered me a living of £lOOO a year, I would. leave my curacy of £lOO a year, (hear, hear,) and I suppose each of you would do the same. I was induced to remain in Liverpool, because- I was born here, I was fond of the place, I was known in the place, I was attached to it. Preferment lying in a public body, I succeeded in getting from a curacy to a lectureship, then to a chaplaincy in St. George's Church, and lastly to the Archdeaconry of Liverpool, and here I am in this situation now. But this is taken away ; there is no prospect of this promotion ; and a curate may come to £lOO a year now, and stay there if he cannot get more any where else. The presentation to the churches, now lies with individuals, and how is it One gentleman, an intimate friend of mine, Mr. Lawrence, of Mosley-hill, who is now unfortunately, for his friends, removed from this scene of probation,—he bought one of those churches, in which he placed his own son ; other gentlemen also bought others for their friends, so in point of fact, that prospect which had been presented him, and which was a fair induce ment in every particular for a man to perform his duty and to remain here, is absolutely taken away. This I say, is one of the evils which is consequent upon this un fortunate determination in the British House of Commons. Then another, equally so; is that it has taken a great deal of the interest away, and_ particularly in a question of endow ment. For gentlemen will say, " Why subscribe to an endowment for a living which is in the -gift of Mr. A or Mr. B ? lam not subscribing so much for the clergy ; I am improving his property. He will not give it when it falls to the fittest man ; he will give it to the man in whom he feels the greatest interest; and, therefore, I do not feel inclined to subscribe 'to an' endowment fund." That has been a reason which has been given and presented for con sideration, when that fund was thought of, for the money not being produced as we expected. Ido not mean to say, my Lord, this is a right mode of thinking, by any means. We ought all to be above such a-mode of thought, and we ought, without considering whether A, B, or C has the no mination to the living—we ought to consider whether the means provided for the clergyman of that church, come from where they may, and be in whose hands they may; are suffi cient for that gentleman's common maintamance, and for enabling him to perform the important duties which devolve upon him as a minister of the church in such a populous place as this, and if we find that they are not, we ought to throw away all other considerations,. and endeavour, accord ing to our-abilities and the means we have, to make them so. Therefore, on this broad principle, without at all looking at the narrow circumstances and narrower feeling, I am one of those who am exceedingly anxious there should be an endow ment fund in the town of Liverpool to increase the salaries of the churches. I think-this may be done here in a manner - which would be at a less cost than it would at other places, and yet most beneficially to both the clergy themselves, and to the inhabitants of the town. We have some fifty churches in the town of Liverpool, and to one of them there is not attached a house of residence. There is not even a house of residence for the rectors. Not one. The rectors of Liver pool get choused out of everything that belonged to them. The original'endownient to the parish of Liverpool when separated from Walton, would be sufficient to pay both the rectors and their curates, and what was really the fact ? That was given- up, . was abandoned on the then rectors making over' 'their interest and privileges in this rectory, the corporation giving them for it £2OO a-year each. I have no hesitation in saying the provision they were obliged to make—they were obliged to build good large houses, and large gardens in tha neighbourhoods of the then existing parochial chapel of St. Nicholas, and the new parish church of St. Peter's, which was then directed to be built ; and, if those had been in existence now, where land is selling for ten guineas a yard, look at what that would have brought for an endowment. We gave all this up when £2OO per year, when certainly £2OO a year was considered a larger sum than it is now. Certainly, it was an unfortunate compromise, and there is not even a habita tion for the rectors of this town to live at. They must find their own house. Now, it would be very desirable, if residences could be supplied for the different clergymen of the town. Ido not say in their own districts, for some of them are of such a description they could not live in them with their families; but they may be so near that they may be within call. The houses may be purchased, which would make the money go farther than the common mode of investing, it. Suppose you raise '13,000 or £4,000, the only manner of investing it is to put it into the funds: There it does not produce more than 3 per cent. I believe that houses may be bought, within a convenient distance of the more arg eta•, to increase clerg fallen very much wit the puril f a the 1a inclination 14 'herb if it that in events them aone, - mit only 1: T boo. to The Rev.-I'.-STEIVART ' as 4 if farAtabt'if4M • „ye ot Titer all of 1-11410.: t orel4ll the actrolif -How iv, but at all ptinds for our cl4ermining on lution, Something should be fllcl religious welfilre of his people, was quite to religion at tile feeling that he was una vies for his family, and relic ich were sure to press on . liim in a large and populouS dis the time when unfortunately the Archdeacon ccident, a movement was made With re- was laid up by his thered with a view of raising a revenue for the endownie'nt of certain Churches in distress.

"THE NATIONAL SOIREI The banquet to the Irish incorruptible" party came off at the ROtundo yesterday, when about 400 persons were present. The company included Messrs.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE.— Jonathan and Maria Owens, husband and wife, middle-aged, comfortable looking persons, natives of England, were brought up at Capel-street Police-office, charged under the following circumstances :—Between two and three o'clock on Monday afternoon the prisoners were observed walking along the Custom-house-quay. On reaching the ferry steps, the male prisoner threw his arms round his wife, when, although she struggled violently, he succeeded in dragging her down the steps to the water's edge, and threw himself and her into the river. The current was running very strong at the time, and both very quickly drifted out to the centre of the river, when a ferry boat, which happened to be within a short dis tance, pulled over to them, and fortunately rescued them. At the moment the boat arrived to their assistance the party had sunk beneath the surface of the water. On being taken out, they !were conveyed to Sackville-place Station-house, where it appeared the manifested strong affection for each other. At the time they were rescued, it was stated that both were under the influence of drink. The male prisoner was sent for trial at sessions on the donble charge of attemp ted murder and self-destruction.. Owens was described as a farmer from Yorkshire, and stated that he and his wife had come over here to see the Exhebition. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OT ON THE GREAT SOUTHERN ANA. TERN RAILWAY. LIFE D IVES- A frightful collision took place on the Great Southern and Western Railway on Wednesday afternoon, which was attended with loss of life and injury to a number of passen gers. It is the first occurrence of the kind that has occurred on the Irish railways. The following particulars of the catastrophe appear in Sounder's News Letter of yesterday : The express train from Cork, with the first and second class carriages, started at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, and on nearing Straffan, shortly before six, its progress was arrested by the breaking of the 'engine. Telegraphic signals were instantly transmitted along the line to stop the goods trains, which were following on the same rails, and the guard also ran back in order to prevent their approach if possible. Un fortunately, however, the signals not being perceived, the first goods train ran into the express train, and disastrous results ensued. Several passengers, including Dr. Cusack, jun., had previously jumped out of the carriages; but two ladies who sat in a first class carriage, against which the engine of the goods train struck, were killed instantaneously; the body of one of the ladies being literally severed in two. A Mrs. Farrell had her leg torn away and her arm broken ; and Mr. Jelly, of Maryborough, had his head torn off. As well as could be ascertained, it was believed ten persons were killed; seven were brought to Steven's Hospital very dan gerously wounded, one of whom has since died, and three more are not expected to recover ; and several others were more or less injured. There was great difficulty, however, in ascertaining the exact number of casualties, as it was be lieved that several persons were lying under the carriages. At the time of the concussion Lord Guillamore, his lady, and daughter threw themselves on the floor of a first-class carriage, and escaped unhurt. Mrs. and Miss Stokes were passengers by the ill-fated train; the former escaped harm, but the latter was severely hurt in the face. Immediately on the news reaching the King's bridge Terminus, Mr. Il berry, one of the superintendents, hastened to the s the disaster, accompanied by Dr. Stokes, Surgeon Fleming, and a numberi of other medical gentlemen, who rendered every possible assistance to the sufferers.
