The other prisoner, Henry, hid, 'at the same time, a knife in his possession ; and he threatened to murder any parties Who came near him.—The pri soners were fined in the mitigated penalty of £5 and costs. - _ _ REVIVALS ig IRELAND.—On Sunday evening last, the ReV. Mr. Reads preached a most impressive sermon, in the Church of St. Paul's, Paul's-square, to a large and most attentive audience. The rev. gentleman selected for the subject of his discourse John xvii. chap., Bth, 9th, 10th, and 11th verses. The preacher, after descanting at much length upon the historical and literal meaning of the words of the text, afterwards proceeded to dwell more forcibly upon their spiritual import. He then dwelt upon the great revival movement going on in the sister country; attributing it, as he said, from all he 'had heard and read about it, to the powerful operations of God's Holy Spirit, ' That great Divine operation, he stated, was not limited in its source and influence. After St. Peter's sermon at Jerusalem—after the Pentecostial shower,--3,000 souls • wore converted; and the Holy :Spirit of God was the same " yesterday, to-day, and for ever." .• He afterwards repudiated the Nile and calumnious slanders cast upon this' great movement by the irreligious , and infidel portion of the press. The rev. gentleman, after a most feeling exhortation 'to his licarers, 'concluded his excellent discourse, which oc cupied an hour in the delivelir, by inviting all present to " Seek the Lard while He may be found," and to call upon Him while He is near." The most marked and profound attention characterised the whole congne gation during its delivery. _ LIVERPOOi: INSIITUTE j :—A public meetingfof a veil, interesting character, will take place at this Institution. to-night. -The names of . the gentlemen who are an -nounced to speak—the - Revds. Hugh Stowell Brown, W. C. Stallybrass, Professor Griffiths, George Melly, T. M. Mackay, and J.. T. Danson, - Esqrs.,—promise rich gratificati9n to the audience. The purpose of the meeting is to explain, and inaugurate important chang es in the evening classes of the stitution, and especially arrangements for young men who have received a fair education ; but who, for want of the opportunities and encouragements to systematic study, are comparatively wasting their time in uncertain and misdirected efforts for their mental imprdvement. - For sueh,--the more ambitious and better class of clerks in the offices `of our merchants, bankers, and public companies, and others in corresponding positions,-=a collegiate course of study is now provided; and the'means of their obtaining the degree of Batchelor of Arts in the University of London. Similar classes exist at the King's and University Colleges of London, and are attended by even hundreds of young men of the class above referred to, and students for the professions, schoolmasters, •&e. Corresponding - classes were farmed at Owen's College, Manchester, and the good results which followed, leave no doubt that the classes to be inaugurated to-night, will prove a great benefit to numbers who would otherwise spend their time in desnitorraimlesi' reading, or in unsatis factory-pleasures.---;William Brown, Esco will preside on The occasion. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. ACCIDENT.—John Andley; srlabouret, abbitt thirty years of age, residing at RawthOrne-square, sustained a very severe compound fracture of the right leg, by a bar of iron falling upon it yesterday at the north dock station of the-Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. He was removed to the Northern Hospital. THE STANLEY LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY. —The weekly meeting of the above society was held at their rooms, Bible Repository, Slater-street, on Wednes day evening last, at eight o'clock, when the following subject was discussed, viz., "Are Theatrical Entertain.. meats prejudicial to Public Morals ?" Mr. Waddington opened the debate in the affirmative, and Mr. Moore in the negative; there being a large attendance, the debate was conductd with great animation, and carried in the negative by an overwhelming majority. At the close of the,proceedings, the Secretary announced that on Wed nesday evening next they would discuss the question, " Ought Church-Rates to be abolished ?" T}i'n GREAT . EAST ERN. —lf ever there was an ob ject, to which circumstances have attached an extraordi nary interest, that object is the Great Eastern. Totally irrespective of the attractions she possesses in herself, as the greatest naval wonder of this or any other age, the late accident has invested her with a reputation, which, in itself, is a source of no common attraction. The two elements combined make her the most coveted object to the curious in existence. We perceive that this general feeling has been taken advantage of ; for the Stork, a very powerful and capacious steamer, has been engaged, we find, to carry passengers to and from the great Lauding-stage to the Great Eastern, during her stay at Holyhead. The first trip will be made on Tues day, the Stork starting from her station precisely at 8 o'clock, a.m. Every means have been adopted to ren der the passage comfortable and agreeable. The fare is moderate, and the trip, on all grounds, promises to be enjoyable. TREAT TO SCHOOL CIIILDKEN.—On Tuesday last the numerals scholars attending the Sunday and day schools of St. Paul's Church, Edmund-street, had a beautiful day to recreate themselves. The excellent superintendent, Mr. Lowe, having availed himself of the privilege so kindly granted by the proprietors of the New Brighton ferry boats, of conveying the children of the Liverpool church schools over from Liverpool and back gratuitously, marshalled all the scholars at ten o'clock, numbering upwards of 300, at the schools, whence they proceed e d to the South Ldnding-stage, where a steamer was in readiness to convey them across. After their arrival, and being well supplied with buns and sweet milk, fruit, &c., they continued their various amusement s u p t o t wo o'cock, when they were sumptuously regaled with the above requisites, Mr. Lowe and the teachers ministering to them abundantly. At five o'clock the whole party returned, carrying their flags, and tiaging lustily, "Rule Britannia," and other favourite airs. The day was spent in a most harmonious way ; and it is but justice here to remark, that the great accession of children to these school.s latterly is mainly owing to the care and attention that are bestowed upon them, not only by the superintendent and teachers, but also by the officiating clergymen of St. Paul's, the Rev. Messrs. Stafford and Reade, who take the liveliest interest in their spiritual and temporal welfare. MARRIAGE AT ROCK FERRY.—Yesterday, Rock Ferry and the neighbourhood were the scene of great rejoicings on the celebration of holy matrimony between William Potter, Esq. (son of our respected townsman,. William Potter, Esq., of the firm of Taylor, Potter, and Co.), and the amiable and accomplished eldest daughter of the Rev. Thomas Fisher Redhead, the esteemed incumbent of Rock Ferry. At six o'clock in the morning the church bells rang out a merry peal, which was repeated at intervals during the morning. The wedding party left the residence of the fair bride shortly before ten o'clock, in eight carriages. An evergreen arch, adorned with flowers, was placed across the en trance of the lane leading to the church. Flags and streamers were hung from side to side of the road. Crowds of persons, of all ranks, assembled on the foot walks, and at the church doors. The church itself was filled to overflowing with an earnest and attentive con gregation, who spontaneously met together to testify, in this solemn mode, their deep and abiding regard for its worthy bride and bridegroom, and their wishes for their future, happiness. There were six lovely bridesmaids ; and amongst the imme diate friends of the parties, we observed the bride groom's father, J. W. Harden, Esq., Judge of the Bir kenhead County Court ; Joseph Livingstone, Esq. ; Robinson, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, and other influ ential persons. When the foremost members of the wedding party arrived at the church door, Mr. W. H. Crew, organist of the church, played an appropriate voluntary, which was followed by the Old Hundredth Psalm, sung with great effect by the choir, the congre gation joining heartily. The service throughout was a full choral one, the amateur choir being aided by several lady and gentlemen volunteers. Four clergymen officiated. The bride was given away by her father. Dr. Clarke Whitfield's " Wedding Anthem" (128th Psalm) was" sung with great effect. The verse part, particularly, was admirably sustained. The ". Deus Misereatiit" was chanted in unison to a simple Gregorian tone, the " Gloria" alone being har monised. The versicles were adapted from Tallis's well-known service, and the full and solemn enunciation of the " Amens" gave an impressive character to the devotional service. At the conclusion of the ceremonial, Mendelssohn's " Wedding March " was played in ex cellent style on the organ, and Mr. and Mrs. William Potter and their friends retired from the church amidst the ringing of bells, showering of boquets, and loud and hearty acclamations of delighted crowds of people. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YESTERDAY [Before Mr. Commissioner PEnny.] . , In Re C. BANKS.—This bankrupt, Who lately carried on the business of a shipchandler in this town, again appeared before the court on his certificate hearing. Mr. Etty, who appeared on hehalf of the assignees, observed that as the ban.krupt had not yet made up the sum required by the act, namely, £l5O, the case would have to be fur ther adjourned. His Honour concurred, mid ordered an adjournment to the 6th January next, with protection, —meantime the bankrupt to make up the deficiency. In re. H. BUGGELN.—This bankrupt, late .of Wigan and Liverpool, coke manufacturer, applied to pass his last exanination.—Mr. Deighton, instructed by Messrs. Miller and / Mei, appeared on the part of the assignees to oppose. Mr. Deighton examined the bankrupt with the view of proving the balance-sheet to be incorrect. After estab lishing several objections to the accounts, the learned counsel applied for an adjournment for the purpose of getting better accounts from the bankrupt.—His Honour granted an adjournment accordingly till the 24th of October.—Mr. Conway supported the 'bankrupt. In Be JOHN MERSON AND Co.—These bankrupts, who lately carried on business at St. Helens as glass manufacturers, also applied to pa ss th e i r last examina tion. Mr. Anderson, who represented the assignees, applied that the several corrections pointed out by the official assignee in his report, might be forthwith amended. His Honour allowed their immediate amendment, and the bankrupts afterwards passed. The certificate meeting was fixed for the Ist of November. The bankrupts were not supported by any professional gentlemen. in /Se D. E. GAUWIL—This bankrupt, late of Liver pool, shipbroker, appeared before the court on his last examination. Mr. Dodge, who appeared on behalf of the assignees, said as the bankrupt had not filed his balance sheet an adjournment would, of course, take place.—Adjourned aces rdingly to the 27th of October. In Be OWEN EVANS.—TIus bankrupt, late of James street, Liverpool, licensed victualler, was so far back as 1847 duly butlawed for not having surrendered to a fiat in bankruptcy which had been issued against him is 1846, he being, at the time of the adjudication of bank ruptcy being made, a resident in British North America, and ignorant of such proceedings having been taken against him until a few weeks ago, when the assignees of his estate, hearing of his arrival in Liverpool, applied to the court for a warrant to bring him up. The bankrupt was in due come brought before the court, when his solicitor, Mr. Yates, applied that a day might be named for the bankrupt. to pass his last examination.—Mr. Stone, who represented the assignees, concurring, his Honour named this day.—Mr. Yates pre sented a petition to annul the bankruptcy. —His Honour observed that the better course would be to adjourn the hearing of the petition until Monday, as the affidavits were only then filed, and then to adjourn the last examination till Tuesday.—Adjournment made accordingly. 'ln Re 2. M. THOMAS.—This bankrupt, who lately carried bn the busiriess of a shipamith, applied for the allowance of his eertificate.—Mr. Etty, who appeared for the assignee, not opposing, and his honour having; heard Mr. Smith in behalf of the brankrapt, granted a second-class certificate immediately. ItA,TS, MICE, AND , CociraoAcnEs.—Their extinction in one night, or a kw hours, by Greer's Patent Anti-Vermin Mixture, 2d., 3d., Od., and ls., at the Anti-Vermin Office, 49, Brewalow- PROFESSOR, OWEN'S CONCLUDLNG LECTURE. Last night, Professor Owen, of Landon, delivered his fourth and concluding lecture on Natural History, the subject being—" On the peculiar species of recent and fossil quadrupeds of Australia, with the concluding remarks on the succession and extension of species." The hall of the Collegiate was well and respectably filled. The learned lecturer commenced by recapitu lating the leading points in his former lectures, and proceeded to say that he was about to give them a short, and, he hoped, lucid and interesting account or history of the mammalian objects in Australia which indicated other and extensive formations of mammalia, indigenous to the soil, and distinct from that of all other genera. He concluded by the subjoined summary. In the survey taken in the present brief course on the characters, succession, and geographical distribution of the mammalian classes, if I have succeeded in demon strating the adaptation of each varying form to the exigencies and habits and well-b e ing o f the,species, I have fulfilled one object I had in view, namely, to set forth the intelligence and beneficence o f Creative Power. So far as I have shown the uniformity of plan pervading the osteological structure of so many diversified animated forms, I must have enforced, were that necessary, as strong a conviction of the unity of the Creative Cause. If, in all the striking changes of form and proportion which have passed under review,_ we could disc em the results of minor modifications of the same few osseous elements, we must be the more strikingly impressed with the wisdom and the power of that Cause which could pro duce so much variety, and at the same time such perfect adaptations and endowments, out of means so simple. For in what have those mechanical implements—the hands of the ape, the hoofs of the horse, the wings of the' bat, the trowels of the mole, the uprooting the mezatherium . paws of .__ . _ —so various Cey the behests of volition in denizens Of different elements what, I say, have they differed from the artificial instru ments which we ourselves plan with fbresi o crlit and cal culation for analagous uses, save in their greater perfection, and in the unity and simplicity of the elements which are modified to constitute those several locomotive or prehensile organs. Everywhere, in organic nature, we see the means not only subservient to an end, but that end accomplished by the simplest means. Hence we are compelled to rezard the Great Cause of all, not like certain philosophic ancients, as a uniform and quiescent-mind--as an all pervading anirna ntundi— but as an active and anticipative intelligence. By apply ing the laws of comparative anatomy to the relics of extinct races of animals found in different strata of the earth's ernst, and corresponding with as many epochs in the earth's history, we make an important step in advance of all preceding philosophies, and are able to demonitrate that the same active and beneficient intelligence which mauifest His power in our times, has also manifested His power in times long anterior to the records of our existence. But we likewise by these investigations gain a still more important truth, namely, that the phenomena of the world do not succeed each other with the mechanical sameness attributed to them in the cycles of the Epicurean philosophy, for we are able to demon strate that the different epochs of the earth were attended with corresponding changes of organic struc ture ; and that in all these instances of chang organs, as far as we could comprehend their- use, were exactly those best adapted to the functions of the being. Hence, we not only show intelligence evoking means suited to the end, but at successive times and periods producing a change of mechanism adapted to a change of extinct condition. Thus the highest generalisations derived from the science of organic bodies, like the Newtonian laws of physical matter, pointed unequivo cally to the Great First Cause, which, in the language of Sir Isaac Newton, was certainly not mechanical. (Loud applause, during which the professor left the platform.) .e the WALLASEY COMMISSIONERS The monthly meeting .of the Wallasey Commissioners was held last evening ; Mr. Pooley in the chair. - The other members of the board present were—Messrs. Hill. Marshall, Harrison, Holmes, Hughes, Kerford, and Bryerley. the Minutes of the last meeting having been read ; were confirmed. The CHAIRMAN suggested that Mr. Rawlinson, the engineer of the water-works, who had recently returned froma tour in- the north of Europe, and who, with him (the chairman), had visited and inspected' the works, should be invited in, and make his report as to their progress. - 11 l r. RAWLINSON was then introduced, and said he had visited the works, and all he could say. was, that he had never seen better. He was satisfied, from what he had seen, that the contractors would parry out the works. He found that, in his absence, the commis sioners had let the contract for the making of the well, and he must congratulate them in having done so. He felt satisfied that the well would produce the required quan tity of water. He also found that they had let the tank, and he was quite satisfied with'the contract. He expressed a wish that the engine. should be let to the same con tractor. - He. then entered into a general deScription as to the progress of the works, and stated that they .were in a very satisfactory condition. GAS AND WATER COMMITTEE The proceedings of this committee having been read, Mr. HILL, in moving their confirmation, said that he had visited the works, and he was rejoiced to say, that they were proceeding more expeditiously than they had done. The works were being constructed in a more substantial manner. The tank was nearly completed, and the retort was going on satisfactorily. He con cluded- by alluding to the able statement which they had heard from Mr. Rawlinson, their engineer, as to the progress of the water works, and moved that the tender of Messrs. Melling, of the Rainford Iron Works, be accepted, at a cost not to exceed £1,556. Mr. MLBSII,ALL seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The other routine business—the proceedings of the various committees were confirmed without agy comment, and the board then adjourned. LIVERPOOL LICENSED VICTUALLERS The monthly meeting of the committee of the Licensed Victuallers' Association was held yesterday in the Asylum, West Derby-road, Mr. Warriner in the chair. The other members present were—Messrs. Lumb, Jones, Crane, Calderbank, Curwan, Hornby, and Atkinson. The minutes of the lastmeeting liaving been read, The CHAIRMAN said the first business for the con sideration of the committee was, the manner of invest ing their £2OO balance. Some time ago, a considerable sum had been subscribed for the purpose of defending the interests of their society in parliament, and the present X 290 was the balance over the amount required. The sum had been lying at the bank, at a very small rate of interest, and he therefore thought it desirable to invest it more advantageously than at present. Mr. ATKINSON moved that the sum be put to interest in the Saxon Building Society. The motion was seconded by Mr. JONES, and agreed to. Mr. A-miaow observed that the licensed victuallers were likely to have their water-rates . very much raised. lie said he remembered some time ago, when a similar thing was attempted in Liverpool, the licensed victuallers decided on sending a deputation to the Water Commit tee, and the, result was, the redaction of their rates to an equality with other tradesmen. Instead of using more water than other portions of the community, he believed the licensed victuallers used less ; they were quite willing to pay their proportion of rent, but he considered it most . unjust upon them an extra charge. Be therefore urged them, seeing that the municipal election was at hand, to ascertain from their representatives whether any such change was contemplated, and if so upon what grounds. After some discussion upon the subject, Mr. ATKIN SON moved that a deputation of the chairman, vice chairman, Mr. Thomas Jones, and such of the trustees as think fit, wa i t upon t h e W ater C omm i tte, f or t h e pur pose of ascertaining the facts of the case. The motion, having been seconded, was carried unani mously. This concluded the public business. ITOLLOWAY°B Ofxrstrzir.---Bad legs, wounds, ulcers, and all descriptions of sores are rem e di a ble by the proper and diligent use of thi s i nestimable preparation. To attempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edge of the wound together is a folly; for, should the skin unite, a boggy diseased condition remains und erneath to break out with tenfold fury . in a' feat days. The only rational an d permanent treatmen t, as i ndicated by nature, is to redu ce the inflammation in aid about the wound, to Booth the neighbouri ng nerves, t o coo l th e h e ated blood as is courses along ltarge its vessels, and t o r e aler the thin. watery ichorous a consistent and healthy.'

He did hope we were not living in 1780, 'Mr. Rosier had sloubtless read•the' history of his country, and ..if be haddone so correctly, and was acquainted : with the facts connected with-the disgraceful riots in 1780, he must inow that they .eoln- nobleman did little more than Mt. itosier had dope in this case. He wished to impress upon the defelitdaut, and upon all who heard him, the necessity of SnPpress ing mob law in its 'infancy. Wherever there' was a wrong there was a remedy, and that remedy was the law of the country, to which all owed , obedience. Any thing approaching to mob law must be put 'clown by the strong arm of the law. There was an ,imPerative nec4- . . sity to prevent any large a,sembly of people not convened by the constituted authorities for a proper object' from beeomingriotous. When an assemblage Of people became riotous, that assembly was an Unlawful one, and.every one present was liable to be indicted, and, if convicted, to a long term of imprisonment. After proclamation was made the assemblage became a felonious „riot, and every one taking part in it, or present only, was liable to an indictment for felony, and to the punishments awarded for felonious offences. Ife was only mention ing the steps whereby an assembly of people becaMe a dangerous and illegal assembly. If .the disorderly crowd which assembled in Wellelose-square had done any mischief, the defendant, though he were only present, would have been liable equally with the rest ; .therefore the law always.reco,gnised the necessity of putting a stop to riots_ at once. If there Were anymore such assem blages of - people on, Sabbath evenings, or any other evenings, and if offenders ..were brought. before him, it would be his bounden duty to treat:them as unlawful assemblages, and commit any person charged for trial. If there was anything wrong in the parish of St. George, a remedy must be applied---that was a Temedy according to law. He heard with great satisfaction the _parish was _ _ quiet, and he hoped that would continue to be quiet ut mob law, under no 'pretence 'wl this country. The defendant was discha hoped it,would be the last, case of the kind he should have to hear. ..-.-...4..--.... OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCES RESPECT LNG THE PEIHO AFFAIR. The Gazette of Tuesday evening contains a long and important correspondence between the Earl of Alaltnes- 1 bury and Lord John Russell, the late rand the present Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the lion. F. W. Bruce; her Majesty's Plenipotentilry in China- and also the correspondence between .31r. Bruce and Rear- Admiral' Hope. Froni this correspondence, it appears that Mr. Bruce instructed to insist, upon pro ceeding to Pekin, to • exchang treaty of peace ; th he - naval and military ;hat I accompanied the Earl 'of Elgin ; and th a. LIC- authorities concurred in that opinion, and deemed it ad visable, unless unforseemoircumstances should.arise,. that Mr. Bruce should reach Tien-tsin in a 'Britikli shiP,-0f ..... Mr. Bruce details the evasions of .the Chinese authorities, which indueed him, in conjunction with the French Plenipotentiary, to require Adintra,Hope to force an entrance into the Peiho. He declares that if.A.dmiral HOpe had thought the operation too hazardous, such an opinion would not have been shared by the officers of the squadron and by the persons most conversant with Chinese warfare.; and he adds that he fully accepts, in conjunction with" - 'Admiral' - Rope, the - responsibility of the attempt which was unsuccessfully made. Lord Joh!' Russell. iu a despatch to Mr. Bruce, dated the 6th So tomber, states that Mr. Bruce ; s oonduct in insisting upon 'reception at Pekin, and in probeeding with a squadron to the mouth of the Peilio, was in strict con forinity with his instructions. When Mr:Brnce arrived it the mouth of the Peiho, he found himself in difficult circumstances, and his course' had to b , determined by presumptive evidence and by the consideration of continencies which did not admit of safe calculation. So Lord John Russell adds :—" I can only say, therefore, that Her Majesty's Government, without being able, in the present state of their information, to judge precisely what measures it might have been advisable. for you, to adopt at the moment, see nothing in the decision' that you took to diMinish the confidence which they repose in you. In conclusion, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs adds, that orders have been given for preparations which will enable the British forces; in conjunction with those of thC Emperor of the French, to support Mr, Bruce "in the execution of the instructions which will be hereafter ;addressed to you."

ATTACK ON HER MAJESTY'S MAIL.-011 Sunday morning, as the driver of the car which conveys the mail from the Ballybrophy station to Roserea was on his way a short distance from Ballybrophy, on the road to Borns-in-Ossory, he was stopped by three men, one , of whom held the horse, and the others cautioned him if Ile drove that way again it would be his. last drive. A person _ who formerly drove this car was recently dismissed.—lrish Ti THE GREAT EASTERN.—Very, high opinions- have recently been expressed as to the sailing powers of the Great Ship. Proportionately to her bulk the area of canvas she can spread is rather small ; but, from the excellence of her construction, its effect will, it is hoped and fully believed by nautical men, be found unusually great. It is -probable that she will have an oppor tunity of testing this during the trial trip. Her course during this is first to the Scilly Isles, then across to the Old Head of Kinsale, and thence up Channel to Holyhead, where she will be anchored neither exactly in nor- exactly out of the breakwater, but in about a line with it. The reason of this is, that if she was brought completely in, she would barely have room to swing at a single anchor. Ori the 17th it is hoped that her Majesty will inspect the vessel, as, according to existing arrangements, she would pass through Holyhead on that day, Although the ship may start punctually fronl Weymouth, it is .scarcely possible that she leave will the Holyhead for America on the 20th• of this. month, n w e h c i er w ry in al r te en r a a e ti r o s ti o s m th e dheelraymofa nature unavoidable.acliin ery being COURT AND 'OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

In reading over your publication of Wednesday last, and in referring to your adVertisement columns, where the addresses of, the various out-going members of the Town Council appear, I perused very carefully that of Mr. J.

Whether Mr. Jeffery will sustain any opposition in Lime-street Ward, but one thing appears to my hat although he niayilorify LIMI remains yet to be seen and it is this- self- upon having done so much 'for the good of Liver pool, and think his fortress is impregnable in the ward 'referred to, yet I think there could be found one equal, if not far superior, to represent the Litue-street con stituency. Had not that well-deserved tribute of respect been paid by the Town Council to J. B.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES Six,—ln common with most of your readers, I have no doubt, I regret that the Great Ship Company have adopted the plan of handing over the Great Eastern, during her st'.7 at Holyhead, to the London and North - ,Western Railway Company. It will be seen from the advertisements issued b y the Shi p Com p an y , and als o. by the Railway Company named; that no steam - boats are to be allowed alongside , the Great Ship, save those belonging to the London and North-Western Railway 'Company ; and that paisengeis arriving otherwise than.. by their, railway, must be landed at Holyhead, - and ;obliged to apply there for tickets for ferryage and ;admission to the ship : The effect of this practically is to exclude froni the sight, the numerous passengers wli - o would have mailed themselves of cheap steam-boat trips.
