PROPOSED CHURCH IN LIVERPOOL FOR DAILY PRAYERS, WEEKLY COMMUNION, AND THE CELEBRATION OF ALL THE OFFICES OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. The want of such a place of Worship, in a convenient lo cality, is deeply felt by many of the Inhabitants of Liverpool; a Church, in which nothing shall be omitted which may tend to the decency, devotion, and solemnity of the Anglican Worship; and in which a good Choral Service may be com bined with a hearty congregational response; a Church, in which kneeling accommodation, and not the number of sit tings, shall be considered of the first importance; and in which the poor shall have equal rights with the rich. It is proposed to build .a Church, architecturally correct, without galleries or enclosed pews, and free to all corners ; the requi site expenses to be defrayed by the weekly Offertory, and. such Endowment as may be provided for perpetuating ser vices strictly i!i accordance with the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England. £2,800 have already been subscribed, and in part paid by a hundred and thirty contributors, of whom thirty-two are Clergymen. A list of these will, on application, be furnished to any one interested in the project; and the Committee earnestly solicit donations from all classes, under the p.-,rsua sion that, in this large and wealthy community, there cannot be wanting a sufficient number of sound Churchmen to en sure success to such an undertaking.

THOSE who remember the mania which agitated the country during the discussions on the Reform Bill, will view the attempt to revive it in the next session of Parliament with anything but feelings of complacency. Then it disturbed all order, en grossed all conversation, paralysed the common business of life, and excited the most extravagant expectations as to its effects upon the social condi tion of the population. The common people, who had hardly the slightest interest in the question, clamoured for Reform with an eagerness which betokened their firm belief in its beneficial efficacy, and the majority were firmly persuaded that the passing of the bill would enable them to have meat for a penny a pound, and bread for nothing. The collectors of small rents found their applications for payment met with a stupid stare of astonish ment, and were told that "the Reform Bill had passed," as an answer to their demand ; and so general was the persuasion of some such substan tial advantages as the result of an agitation which had been joined in with such enthusiasm, that the mortification of the disappointment was correspond ingly great. The circumstances are now, how ever, materially altered : the people, on the whole, care little or nothing about the question ; the franchise which was then so eagerly coveted is now thought of little worth, and any proposition for its extension would excite very little en thusiasm, even among the classes it pro fessed to benefit. There would thus be less fear of a Ministerial scheme on the subject disturbing the public tranquillity in any great degree, but at the same time it would serve to show the folly of attempting to make any organic changes in the representative system, when so few take any in terest in it. It is wilfully incurring a hazard for no possible benefit, and forfeiting some certain amount of good upon an adventure in which, though much may be lost, nothing can be gained. To be forewarned is, however, to be forearmed ; and it would be as well that the real designs of the Ministry were exposed, before Parliament is com mitted to a course from which it may be difficult, if not impossible, to recede. In the first place, the Government labour under the consciousness of having done nothing, and of not being able to do anything, to entitle them to hold their present position. Last session their sheet-anchor was Mr. GLADSTONE and his financial scheme. It served to prolong discussion, and to spin out the time ; but, for any purpose of practical benefit, it was a total failure, and in whatever way it may be viewed, it will not serve the same conve nience another session. A new game was, there fore, to be started, which might furnish a topic for the recess, and a new Reform Bill has been pro mised, in the hope that it may serve the purpose of getting through another session with many words but few deeds. In the next place, the Ministers are deeply mortified that the Freemen which remain in the borough constituencies are for the most part men of Conservative principles, and insensible to the charms with which certain candi dates seek to obtain Liberal majorities. They would gladly have disfranchised the Freemen of this town, but failed in obtaining a servile com mittee to recommend such a course ; and, though any measure of disfranchisement is directly in the teeth of Liberal professions, they would stoop to such degradation in order to serve the purpose of party. The new Bill will, therefore, make a whole sale sweep of . the Freemen because they are Con servatives, and pretend to a compromise with their principles by admitting a lower class of house holders as the best materials for a Radical majority : so that a political agitation will be renewed, not for any legitimate purposes of the Constitution, nor even to gratify a demand for popular privileges, for such has never been made, but in order to serve a party which has not the slightest hold upon public opinion, and the leaders of which endeavour to maintain their position by a fictitious popularity founded upon false pretences. But whatever may be the details of the promised scheme, it must to a certain extent be a failure. The operatives who formed the staple of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S physical force in 1831 are now in a very different position from what they were at that time. They can no longer be made the dupes of mob orators and political demagogues : they have been taught by bitter experience the folly of ex pecting any advantage from political privileges ; they are earning better wages, and when men are better fed and clothed they care less about political questions ; and many of them have the sense to perceive that the prosperity of the working classes depends upon the maintenance of good government and the total absence of political agitation. Such a threat as Lord JOHN RUSSELL made in 1831 of bringing up a body of armed working men from Birmingham to intimidate the House of Lords, criminal as it was then, would be worse than con temptible now, as there are no materials available ; and he must be content with a war of words within IAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER lich may serve his pu lnon 011 ; interest, when the people without care nothing about the result. He may, how x, overshoot the The great fault of the Reform Act of 1832 was throwing too much power into the hands of the shopkeepers of small towns, essentially a selfish class, who, with little wisdom and destitute of principle, have sought only to shift their own bur dens without caring who suffered from the change. If the same privilege were extended to the work- ng classes, it might be tl at the representation would be more essentially Conservative ; for expe rience has shown both in France and America where the popular suffrage has been appea that the operatives are the stoutest advocates for Protection to native industry All experiments in government should, however be carefully avoided as dangerous, excep imperatively demanded I if urgent nee ,sitv, which cannot now be said to exist, and therefore any attempt on the part of the Ministry to interfere with the present state of the representation cannot be too strongly condemned. But if ach at all defensible, there are some sent system to which it is possible to considerable amendment might be made, though we dare not anticipate that the Ministry, bound ,c,re were ints in the pre- as they are to Rome, have the moral courage to attempt it. Ireland returns a much 1 r numbe she is fairly entitled to, either by col population or amount of taxation. The number should be reduced, and every borough disfranchised that returns members at the bidding of Romish priests. It would be a beneficial weeding of the House of Commons, and a wholesome check upon prieltly intimidation, which, in Ireland, has made freedom of election a farce. It would thin the ranks of the Romish Brigade, and render great questions less dependent upon such aid ; and if the same number in the House of Commons is still to be preserved, there are many places in to which the franchise might be advantageously transferred. Why should the City of Londoi England. turn four members to Parliament, and Liverpool, with a larger constituency, and a much larger population, return only two ? The plan of Mr. DISR-kELI, to give two more members each to South Lancashire and West Yorkshire, might be carried out, and the representatives of other popu- lous emmties might be similarly augmented. Birkenhead and the surrounding district might be formed into a Parliamentary Borough, and as the preponderance now rests too largely with the shop keepers of England, a greater influence might be given to the interests of shipping and commerce by extending the franchise to more of our seaports. These, however, are but suggestions of what might be done, but we do not entertain the slightest expectation that they will emanate from the party now in office ; while we view any change which they are at all likely to propose as fraught with more mischief than can be compensated by any remote probability of advantage. IF the Ministers were'now called upon to concoct one of those unmeaning documents known as a Speech from the Throne, they would, no doubt, declare, as usual, that HER MAJESTY continued to receive from all Foreign Powers the most flatter ing assurances of amity and good-will. Yet there is little in Foreign Affairs upon which the Ministers could congratulate the country, and we may find that, notwithstanding the many professions of peace, we are upon the verge of hostilities of which it is difficult to foresee the end. The threatened outbreak between Russia and Turkey, which had been almost precipitated through the vacillation of Lord ABERDEEN, was believed to have been set at rest through the judicious remonstrances of M. DROUYN DE L'Hurs, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, the conference at Vienna to modify the terms of the arrangement, and the readiness of the EMPEROR OF Russia to accept the note pro posed by the Great Powers. It was confidently concluded that Turkey, acting by the advice and under the protection of England and France, would at once have received the friendly mediation, and that the whole affair would have been at an end ; but it appears that she has been availing her self of the delay, and, emboldened by the proximity of two powerful fleets in the Bay of Besika, has been collecting all her Mohammedan forces to make war on her own account, unless her altera tions of the note agreed to by the conference at Vienna are acceded to. The latest telegraphic despatch states that, while the EMPEROR OF RUSSIA, in his desire to preserve peace, will consent to the terms proposed by the Great Powers, he will not accept the alterations made by the SULTAN OF TURKEY. The only solution, therefore, of the difficulty is, for the latter to give way, unless the conference will consent to make the proposed alterations : and, in that case, a peaceful ter mination of the affair may reasonably be anticipated. The question, however, is capable of another aspect, if the reports from the East may be relied upon. It is said that the SULTAN is not a free agent, but that his subjects insist upon his not surrendering any point involving Turkish ideas of national honour for the sake of peace. The call for aid has been responded to with religious enthusiasm, not only through the Turkish dominions in Europe, but from her dependencies in Asia and Africa. The troops are animated with zeal for their faith in the PROPHET ; and, relying upon their numerical strength, are solicitous for war ; so that, instead of conceding any demand for the sake of preserving peace, the tendency is in the opposite direction. If this view of the case be correct—and it may be that Mohammedanism in Europe, being doomed to destruction, will precipitate its fate by its own act —the preservation of peace will be beyond the control of the Christian powers ; and the fleets which were combined in Besika Bay for the pro tection of Turkey, may assist in her annihilation, in the vain attempt to restrain the fury of her in- habitants. In whichever way the question be viewed, it is far from satisfactory ; and that this opinion is generally entertained, is shown by the recent fall in the English Funds, and the inaction which now paralyses almost all commercial opera tions. The affair is not also without interest as affecting the position of the English Cabinet ; and reports are current as to important changes in contemplation. Almost all parties agree in the condemnation of the Earl of ABERDEEN, whose an tipathy to Louis NAPOLEON prevented that cor dial co-operation, which, if it had been acted upon in the first instance, might, perhaps, have pre vented the first misunderstanding, and all the sub sequent difficulties. The Earl of CLARENDON has proved himself to be manifestly incompetent for the duties he has undertaken, and Liberal predi lections point to Lord PALMERSTON as the fittest man to supersede both. Such an alternative may be but the choice of evils ; but when it is evident that a change cannot be for the worse, there is at least a hope that it will be for the better. Eng land has by far the greatest interest at stake ; and yet she has been compelled, through Ministerial incapacity, to yield to Prance, both in influence and diplomatic skill ; and though, if blows succeed to words, the British fleet will, no doubt, prove its superiority, it is mortifying t o think that its ex ertions might have been spared. With the United States of America we have peculiar interests to be o n friendly' terms, but the correspondence which has just been published respecting the proposed tripartite treaty for the Ition of the Island of Cuba to Spain likely to receive an The A not willinv, to forego their ulteric annexation with this wealthy island, and now set up the preposterous assumption that European tes have no right in any matter concerning the western side of ti ktlantic England is not prepared to a RUSSELL, faili To such a doctrine ind Lord JOHN g to gain the consent of the United States Government to the proposed tripartite treat 3 has addressed a letter of remonstran to the English Minister at Washington, insisting upon the right of England to interfere, and France also loins it ie move' whether Spain has any claim to our good offices consider g the treatment which English subjects receive in that country; but as the anr ation of t 0 the security of our West India colonies, it is at least prudent to enter our protest designs being entertained. gainst such 1 SERIOUS CHARGE 'OF FRAUD AGAINST A WINE MERCHANT. ♦ STERDA.Y, a case came before Mr. Mansfield Police Court, which excited unusual inte .st amongst the parties ca Sr. John Waite ;hart, of this town eared before the court )3 , Mr. Edwin Hughes, of Manchester-street false pretences Mr. An Lll, barrister, appeared in support of the a, and Mr. S s, for the accused r. ASPISALL, in n and Sir George ling the case, said that he ap peared before the court on behalf of the prosecutor, Mr. Hughes, to prefer a charge against Mr. Thomas, respect ing which he (Mr. Mansfield) had already issued a Mr. Aspinall then (which summons directing his appearanc it the circumstances of the ca proceeded to d were exceedi eared f to the c igly intricate,) at considerable length. It the learned counsel's remarks, that down 'iad, on Ise of the year 1 1, the pi ,everal occasions dvanced M J. W. Thomas various sums of money for the purr Sing on hi nd that on these occasions had Mr. Thomas been in the habit of giving Mr. Hughes securities They had several transactions, and on his wine there was between them what might be called a running account in loans and securities. The particular charge against Mr. Thomas was, that he had obtained from the November, 1850, Mr. Thomas was indebted to the prose cutor in the sum of £B5 4s. 2d. for loans, for which the latter held delivery notes for wines, either in the hands of merchants or in bond. The circumstances of the transac tions were as follow. At this time the prosecutor held certain securities on wines for money lent to Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Thomas, desiring a further advance of, £64 from Mr. Hughes, security for this advance was given by Mr. Thomas, that gentleman giving Mr. Hughes a delivery note for 21 quarter casks of wine in wood, and 20 dozen of wine in bottle, which, at the time, were in the hands of Messrs. Yearsley, of this town, merchants. On the 14th of January, 1851, the advance of £64 was made by Mr. Hughes on this security, and Messrs. Yearsley accepted the delivery note for the goods, which Mr. Thomas had signed in favour of Mr. Hughes. In order to show the fraudulent way in which Mr. Thomas had been acting towards Mr. Hughes, he might remark that, although Mr. Thomas deposited, as security for the £64, the twenty-one —I,. of wine nn the 14th of January, they found that, so early as the 20th of January, deposit was made, Mr. Thomas was dealing with _ wine, and that he obtained from Messrs. Yearsley one cask of the twenty-one q uarter-casks ' and on the 23d, three days subsequently, he received four or five more of the casks ; and, in April and May, no part of the £64 having been repaid, he got a still further lot of the twenty one quarter-casks out of the hands of Messrs. Yearsley, so that, within a few days after he obtained the loan, he had been fraudulently dealing with the wine which he six (rays ate. had deposited as security for it. But the particular charge which he made against Mr. Thomas was previous to this date. At the end of 1851, Mr. Thomas required a further advance of £2OO, and that being a large amount, a calcu lation was entered into of the securities on wines which Mr. Hughes held, and in this calculation M r . Tt. set down 'homas the twenty-one quarter - casks of wine, according to his calculation, at £147, and this, added to the other securities, he stated amounted 2s. However, he came now to the particular charge against Mr. Thomas, and that was, that after he gave Mr. Hughes the security on the twenty-one quarter casks of wine, he obtained from him back -- document connected with a previous transaction, securing two quarter casks of port and four quarter casks of sherry, on a previous advance, which wines were in the possession of Mr. Middleton, and which Mr. Middleton had accepted to deliver to Mr. Hughes, on the delivery note being handed to him in Mr. Hughes's favour signed by Mr. Thomas. This security Mr. Hughes returned to Mr. Thomas, and allowed him to take the wines from Mr. Middleton's, on his representation that the security for the twenty-one quarter casks at Messrs. Yearsley's, with other securities, covered the amount of his advance, whereas it now appeared that at the very time that he obtained re-possession of the security given for the wine at Mr. Middleton's, he had already been dealing with the wine at Mr. Yearsley's. After some further remarks, Mr. Aspinall said that although there were two summonses against Mr. Thomas, on two distinct charges, he intended at present to confine himself to the charge of fraudulently obtaining possession of the two quarter casks of port and four quarter casks of sherry from Mr. Middleton's. Mr. Mansfield said the question which seemed to him to arise was thiS, in whose possession the wine legally was When taken from Mr. Middleton's. to £337 Mr. SIMON said he was taken by surprise at the course which had been adopted by his learned friend Mr. Aspinall. It was quite clear that, if he did not intend to carry the case any further than was indicated in his address to the court, the court could not commit his (Mr. Simon's) client for trial. There was no proof that the wine referred to had ever been in the name of any one else besides Mr. Thomas, and, therefore, if there was no transfer in the books, the wine legally belonged to Mr. Thomas, and would go to his general account with Mr. Middleton. There must first be a false pretence, in point of law, proved against Mr. Thomas, and this must be a fraud, because this court could take cognizance of nothing bu Ad mitting that the transaction might involve a breach of trust as between the parties, the law could ,not take cogni zance of the criminal charge now preferred against Mr. Thomas. In order to substantiate the criminal charge, it must be distinctly proved that Mr. Hughes had been cheated of his property ; and he (Mr. Simon) contended that, according to law, it never was his property. The learned counsel went on to contend that the charge against Mr. Thomas was one which came peculiarly under the act of Queen Elizabeth, referring to secret transfers. According to that act there must be actual possession proved in addition to the documentary transfer from one party to another, authorising the holder of goods to de liver the same. Mr. Hughes, in this case, had never had actual possession of the goods, and therefore there had been no traud. The learned counsel, in continua tion, argued to prove that nothing had been done leoallv to make the wine Mr. Hughes s uronertv ; and if he never had legally a property in it, kr. "Huilies now could complain of nothing more than a breach of trust. Supposing Mr. Hughes had purchased the wines, and had obtained an order to have them delivered to him, the warehouse owner was not bound to obey that order, but he was bound to obey Mr. Thomas's order either to deli ver them or not according to circumstances. Mr. Simon, after arguing the case at great length, contended that the criminal charge could not legally be sustained, and called upon the magistrate to dismiss the case. Mr. ASPINALL replied to Mr. Simon's argument, and urged that the order upon Mr. Middleton, by Mr. Thomas, to transfer the wines to Mr. Hughes, and accepted by Mr. Middleton, amounted to legal possession, and the wines then became Mr. Hughes property, at least he had a lien upon them, and Mr. Thomas had no power over them. Here was the order signed by Mr. Thomas to Mr. Mid dleton, ordering him to transfer the wines to Mr. Hughes. Mr. SIMON contended that Mr. Aspinall had not an swered his argument at all. The statute of Elizabeth had especial reference to transactions of this kind, and pro vided, that unless actual possession was taken under a secret transfer like this, no fraud was committed by the party so transferring afterwards taking possession. Mr. MANSFIELD thought it was necessary for Mr. As pinall to show that Mr. Hughes was in possession of the wine. He said that without prejudice to his right. What he wanted was the fact of legal possession. Mr. ASPINALL said that was clearly established by the transfer, and by the fact of Mr. Thomas having afterwards obtained the transfer back again, on the representation to Mr. Hughes that the other securities covered the amount of loan, which securities he had, however, in the mean time, been dealing with. Mr. SIMON again contended that there was no legal proof that the wine in question belonged to Mr. Hughes, and confidently called npon the magistrates to dismiss the criminal charge. Mr. ASPINALL (addressing Mr. Mansfield) said, if he had any doubt as to the legal possession which Mr. Hughes had of the wine, he would hand him up the papers to prove it, and adjourn the consideration of the main question to a future day, in order to give him time to consider the point. Mr. Simox did not think his learned friend should con sider that his worship had any doubt about it. He (Mr. Simon) did not think he could have any. Mr. MANSFIELD remarked that he had great doubts about it. There were several questions mired up in it. learned Mr. SIMON.—It is just bec ause my friend leaves you in doubt that I call upon you to decide at once against proceeding. After considerable discussion amongst the parties, Mr. MANSFIELD decided to consider the legal question raised by Mr. Simon, and adjourn the hearing of the case until to-day (Tuesday). Mr. SIMoN, in that case, must press for the case at once to go on, reserving the point. Mr. ASPINALL opposed this application ; and the fur ther hearing of the case was adjourned to this morning at ten o'clock. There was a great number of witnesses in attendance, on both sides, including sOeral attornies and other gentlemen. doubtedly preferable for the snorter nistance. i minx it is reasonable to anticipate the former proving superior for this, and especiall as I am assured that the horse has been in ex cellent condition ever since.

After following them a few moments, he saw one of them fall down, as if he was in a fit. He ran forward to his assistlnce, and when he arrived at the spot the boy was black in the face. In a few moments afterwards another of the boys, named Evans, also fell down, and he, too, appeared to be in a fit, and vomited what seemed to be unripe hl.plawrries.

Heyworth found some roots in the pockets of one of the boys named Evans.

There was but a thin attendance. Mr. Allen, chairman of the Trades' Guardian Society, presided, and, after briefly addressing tne called upon Mr. Tear, one of the deputation from the dyers of Manchester, who at considerable length explained the circumstances under which the strike had origit he nated and continued.

Their average wages were now only a week, and all they demanded was an sixteen shillings advance of sixpence per, day ; but the masters seemed in exorable in their determination not to accede to the ad vance, and the consequence was that there was nothing left to the men but to continue the strike. The men had offered to leave the matter to arbitration, and had named the Mayor of Manchester as their arbitrator, but the masters would not listen to it.

LEGER TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDAI Si R—The race for the "Great St. Leger, is rendered in our "Crack" and aristocratic circles, leger." if not the most important of the year, is certainly tt most interesting, as it generally happens —as in this i —that the chief Derby competitors again come forth to attest the merits and genuineness of their former running, on the more severe course of Doncaster. . Kith regard, then, to this event, which most people are aware comes off to-morrow, 1 shall at once, without pre liminary comment, proceed to remark upon the several on dits or entre nous which have of late been vented forth with such perspicuity throughout the length and breadth of our sporting communities. One of these " incomprehensibilities" is, that a certain outsider (a Derby horse) was coming forth, of whom is enter tained the greatest expectations, not only from the stable, but by the neighbouring locality, i.e., the sportsmen who have lately been lucky to back the stable previously when in eood "cue." Another, that my Lord John Scott was bent upon showing the public, and the Yoricsniremen in rarucuiar, what his Reiver can do when in `genie." A third, the reason " why," Cineas was kept so quiet. Next, how Rataplan had been since his last figuring-off in public; and fifthly, and lastly, how, that some people had mooted, and whether or not it was true that the favourite had been, if anything, receding, or that he certainly was no better a horse than at Epsom •, whilst of his Grace's it was said that the change in him for the better had been, and is palpable ; in short, whether or not, by reason of these changes, Sam. Rogers, fluttering the purple and buff str i pe on Sittingbourne, could just manage to turn the tables on the crack to-morrow. Well, respecting the first of these, I may at once observe, that a certain nobleman has not a horse in this race or in his stable, that could live at all with such horses as Sittingbourne or West Australian : so the Marquis of Exeter's chance must be vetoed. The Reiver is said to have much improved ; but a " potioned" and " patched" horse, as he needs must be, never can win a St. Leger. There is ample reason for Cineas' quietude if he has been coughing, and I can readily believe it of him ; for he is a horse that requires a prodigious amount of attention, or he's soon off it; however, even should the rumour be incorrect, I do not think myself he is like y to run so well for a Leger, as a Derby, as the course of the latter is more suitable: I think no one need fear him then. Now as regards Rataplan, of whom more iil . the gewmarket style, anti, therefore, more a Leger horse, than not ; he has continued in capital fettle ever since the Derby, and is,—or was the other day—in prime order ; and as he was tally ridden in the Derby, having been "let out" too late, he will be doubtless improved upon to-morrow, and may, therefore, be close by the side of the winner. We now come to the predicable point at issue, and from which I shall take my stand to prognosticate; and this is the last question, as with reference to the truth of the statement, whether I am justified in arriving at the inference. Now. it has all along been questioned whether the Derby was nose who dec achieved easily, or otherwise dedly are of opinion that it was not won easily. To-morrow will show whether lam correct, or not. Well, having reason to believe that West Australian and Frank Butler had each their work to accomplish, to pull through the Derby, I conten d that, (even supposing the horses possess the same unaltered racing qualities which they then po s sessed.) on account of the different course, which Is more suitable to Sittingbourne than the tender-footed West Australian,7-the latter being u n- m earth means,—th, next by ti society.
