A question arose as to the in terment of a poor man, who was then lying dead in Ever ton, and who, before his demise, had requested to be bu ried in the Necropolis. where the bodies of some of his family had been laid. He had lately dwelt in Everton, out receiv.d parochial relief from West Derby, and the law appeared to be that, if buried at the parish expense, the body shall be interred in the ground of the parish church, or other burial ground of the parish or place in which the demise takes place; or, otherwise, in some con secrated ground of the virrsh or place to which the de ceased had belonged. and in which he had a settlement. Some discussion took place, the preVailing opinion or the Rrard bring that the recyryst of the deceased should be complied w•th. It was ultimately ordered that the inter ment sln,uld take place at the Necropolis, one of the Commissioners intimating that if the payment were not allowed. he would defray the expenses himself. THREE DEAD BODIES DROUGHT FROM LIVERPOOL BY THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—AbtAIt two years ago Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, the railway carriers, received at their warehouse in Liverpool a large square box, addressed to a Dr. Hunter, in London. The carriage was paid, and the box brought up by one of the goods' trains to town. After repeated search, however, Dr. Hunter could not be found, and the package was taken back to the depot r•t the goods department of the Bir mingham Railway, Camden Town. At this place it re mained undisturbed until within the last few days, a ben, in consequence of some alterations about to take place in the building, ►t became nec.-ssary to remove the various oackages. On coming to the large box in question, the length of the date back a►tracted the attention of some of the workmen, who, by order of the manager of the goods department, opened the box to ascertain its cot:tents. the doing so a mos our was emit to the a.iooishunent of all present. three dead bodies were pr, seated to their view. They consisted of those of a grown male and female and a child, and the bodies are so shrivelled up that the flesh appears to be stance , ruy au THI, WATER QUESTION.—The preamble of the bill brought into the Hou.e of Commons by the Liverpool and li ai rngton have been proved by the Select Committee at their ad journed meeting on Monday ; and in the course of that and the !ollowing day clauses were egret(' it' on. as be tween the Corporation and the Company which have vir tually settled the water question.

THE MANCHESTER STRIKE.—A meeting of the Com mit►ee of Delegates of. the Maaters' General Association Vtas held on Tuesday, at the Palatine Hotel, liunt'e-bank, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. DREADFUL FIRE IN SLATER-STREET. About half-past five o'clock on Sunday morning a dread ful fire broke out at the corner of Slater-street and Wood street, contiguous to the Music-hall, which caused the destruction of property to a very litrge amount. The premises, which have now to a great extent' reduced to a heap of ruins, were tile property of the late Mr. William Calloway, painter and paper-hanging manu facturer, of 26, Browolow-stteet, who died a few weeks since, and who willed them, we believe, to his widow Tin y were erected five or six years ago on the sit., old Deaf and Dumb School and Eye and Ear Institution, and formed a very spacious building, extending along Slater-street and Wood-street a considerable way, and being four stories in height from the level of the pave ment. a of the The shop at the corner was occupied by Mr. Calloway. Tw.► adjoining shops in Slater-street were tenanted by Mr. John Hunt, a gas-lamp-maker, and Mr. Dodd, a dyer; and there was a third shop also adjoining, which was un tenanted. Over the whole of these shops in Slater street. and extending back to Mr. James Edmund Lee's house, in Wood-street, ran the first fl , or of the building. which was occupied by Mr. William Porter Dreaper, piano -forte-maker, of Bold-street, as his show-rooms. The third and also the fourth stores were used by Mr. Calloway as paint-rooms and places where his business as a paper-hanging manufacturer was carried on. „... The fire s;ert — is to have been first di.cuvered in that part of Mr. Calloway's third story which looks into Wood street, and is on a line with Mr. hunt's shop, but so ra pidly did it extend, that the whole r f the upper part of the "itemises was in a blaze when Mr. Hewitt, with the en gines and fire brigade, reached the spot about ten minutes to six o'clock. The flames quick y communicated up. wards with the fourth story and the roar, and downwards, also, with Mr. Drearier's show room; and for some time the fire threatened the most alarming consequences to the surrounding property. It was eight o'clock before the fire could he said to be completely subdued, and long before that time the entire of the roof had fallen in, and the beams and floorings of the second and third stories, as well as the mimes and sashes of twenty-six of the windows, had been completely burned away. Five of the pianos and all the stained paper in Mr. Calloway's shop were preserved, but the property saved bears very litle prop rtien to the ce.antity lost. Mr. Dreaper's loss must have been very considerable. His show-rooms contained between sixty and se.enty pianos, some in rosewood cases. and all very valuable, and not one of this vast number, with the exception of the five already mentioned, has escaped destruction. He is at pre sent in Paris, and we understand he is not by any means fully inured . Mr. Calloway is insured, but, we - believe, • not to the extent of damage which the buildine has sus tained, estimated at between £2,000 and £3,000, and the loss he has suffered by the destruction of iintheese quanti ties of stained paper, costly moulds used for the purposes of his trade, oils, varnishes, &c. The origin of the fire is unknown. The va'.u. of the game killed upon the estates of Mr. Clifton, o' Lytham Hall, in Lancashire, la , t vPar, has been estimated at upwa ds of £1,500. 21.000 head of hares and rabbits are said to have been de , royed. 7,000 amount to £875, and 14,1.00 rabbi a, at 2s. per couple, would amount to 1:700; £1,575. acb, wou SELECT VESTRY —On Tuesday, the usual weekly ward. The waiter was ' , Awed to the overseers. The Industrial School Committee reported that three of the teachers —Messrs.

Zyub committee of the vs orkhouse recommended that the balmy of Mr. Eleathcote, k,es er of books and se ousts. be reduced from £l5O to £l3O per annum ; that the salary s f Mr. l'ilkinsvoss, el. sic so the ehanl-on. be reduced to X 35; and that on the retirrmen► of Mr. Radehfle, o-urgeun, next unattb, only twn_medicsl officers CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY. On Tuesday night the second of the anniversary meet ings of the Liverpool Auxiliary of the Church Missionary Society was held at the Royal Amphitheatre. The spa cious building was densely crowded on the occasion. The n Rev. Chancellor Raikes occupied the chair. ne, an IRev. HENRY CARPENTER, the secretary, read the r port, which we gave list week. The Rev. GEORGE HAZLEWOOD moved the first reso lotion: He confessed he was deeply impressed with the responsibility of addressing so large an assembly as the present. He Lelieved he need scarcely say that Christi anity was of an expansive character, and that in propor tion as the blessed hope of everlasting life cheered us here, our language would be to gather others into the fold hf Christ also. There was one great principle involved in the society. When missionaries were sent out to Egypt some years ago, they were told to " Preach everywh, re peace in Jesos Christ—he is Lord of all." The Bishop of Calcutta lately assigned a number of reasons for stmoort. ing the institution. One was this : that the society main tained the great Protestant pi inciples of the Reformation as opposed to Romish error; and another was, that it opened and closed its meetings with prayer. He was cer tain that it would ever maintain its prineTles. He then referred to the immense amounts of money collected in England for the spread of missionary efforts; and he ex pressed his gratification at haying once found in Dublin no fewer than 500 of the clergy of the Church of England as sembled on the platform of the society. He gave an out line of the history of New Zealand. For some lime it was a matter of doubt as to whether the society should com mence operations in that island. Mr. Marsden was the first to send an ir.struc•or there; and from one of these societies the sum of 1:11 7s. was transmitted for the pur pose of circulating the Scriptures among the people of Ire land. Though he anticipated a large deficiency in Ireland this year in consequence of the failure of the potatDe crop, he was glad to say that there was something of an increa-e. But there must be a considerable increase if the society were to go on and prosper. He rejoiced to say that a Pt esbyterian had the day before given the sum of £5O to the treasurer ; and he concluded by expressing a hope that every year the friends of the society would abound more and more in the work or the Lord. The Rev. Mr. BERNAtr. missionary from British Guiana, seconded the resolution. He marvelled at the success which had attended the labours of the society du ring the forty.five years it had been in exis►ence. That success was far greater than they anticipated. He had been labouting for ten years in British Guiana, itt Sou• h America. On arriving there he found that seventy of the converted Indiana bad di.-d of the measles, and the re mainder had fled to the woods. He then fo, med a new colony. He built a cottage with his on n hands, and then made his missionary excursions. He found that the child ren ran away from him, and that their patents, with their bows and arrow., fled in►o the bushes. He paddle 1 about iti a canoe, took some little American biscuits, 'him them to the children, and. in this way, succeeded in bringing them around him. At list they touched him, and then he spoke to them on the subject of religion. Some of the natives mete converted. He taught them to build decent cottages in which to live. He learned their language; and, in the course of ten months. he obtained the sum of £l5O from them towards building a church. The Governor-General of th' ' , ice gave £5OO towards the church ; and the coun- of, cil have been annually voting 400 doll hrs tor the suPonit here are now lildren in t of the tnisionaries had been very much overrated in Eng land, and the their joys in foreign lands were exceedingly great.

I: wtie no niisri,,ns more impo• rant matter of doctrine. A primary principle of evangelical truth is, that in every real Christian, for giveness of sins precedes ( Itri:•tiatt character; that it is bestowed, not earned ; that it is received I.y faith antece dent to any Christian works; and that n.. 1 other principle, except the f•+ith which appropriates trre forgiveness, can produce really Christian works. This stands in marked c intrast with every false religion, arid with every perver sion of the true. They all inculcate character first, in order thereby, and by suffering cor•joined, to procure at last forgiveness of sins. Christianity in its purity pro claims forgiveness of sins first, in order by that enjoyed, and by communion with God consequent therefrom, to produce character. [This was illustrated at length, ' ference to the Hindoo superstitions, and tneir parallelisms in Popery and Tractarianisn., and the line taken by the Church Nlisrionary Society again vindicated.] He closed with an earnest appeal for an enlargement of the funds. and called on all present to doihle their sub, , criptions.

The attend ance of ladies on ibis inteieeting occasion was exceedingly humeri us ; the Rev. Rector Crempbell presided. After a few introductory retnaeks, Mr. Ithitid, the ind, fatigable and talented teacher. explained the system oy which ideas we re communicated, and illustrateei his statement by pracreal examp'es. A elass of juniors, whose ages ranged fr m s..ven to eleven, of both sexes, were first exaneined, and city stions being put them by their maser, answers were given with the greatest rapidity. by signs, which relight be understood by every one present. They also replied by writing on slates. A more advanced class gave litho irable replit s as to the manufacture and produc tion'of varicus n eessary articles, trades, natural history, and rel git maxims, ae: acllas in arithmetic ; and one of there repeated the Prayer in a guttural tone, but so as to be intelligible to most.

The time and patience necessary to r suc h a p rocess mus t be immense; but Mr. Rhlod, who was brought up in the London Institution, and was attera orris nine years under the celebrated Dr. Watson, evidently delights in his la bour of love, and coesitlets no trouble or pains too great. Several letters by the popils were read. which exhibited, as the Rev. Rear r Campbell remark, d, two peculiarities —a laborious rletail of circumstantiality, rod an almost Oriental hypei bole. In one instance a boy, who, inde pendently. of being deaf and dumb, w; deprived, to certain extent, of sight, h.d been taught to repeat the Lord's praer. This was effected by the pupil fe e lin g t h e sound of the voice, t y placing hip finger on the l ar y nx o f the teacher while be is t rot ouncing a letter, and thus learning, by feeling and t h-e rving the motions of the lip s , &c., h. wto articulate. he examination afforded the highest gratification to all those preset t. and Mr. Rhind was highly complimented for the zeal and industry he had di-played in bringing the rupils to that state of advance ment which they bad exl ibited before the audience. At the close of the proceed ngs the chairman urged upon those present the necessity ut using eve ry effort to promote the objects of the society, and extend its sphere of useful ness, adding. that there was still sufficient room in the institution for additional pupils. uho would be gladly re ceived. ordered that Mr. Peter Cato should repair the damage done to the Qin-en Ught-pohip by dry rot. at an espent.e es irt.ated at about £7so. 7 ks)nopt.is of the lairs and regtuartoos ror tne .ttiorr IJOuK were submitieti, and the discussion upon them adjoui tied till nest week.—A letter was read from the officers of custom., stain g that it would be prrmatute to give any minion on the sutject of a new warehouse at the norh iqui of the town until the prop sed made.

There was one circumstance which the commiilee noticed min mum sanetactinn, showing, as it did, that the t irons of the society to foster habits bi frugality and prudential economy, amongst the labouring classts, have not been ineff , ctual. It had ever been their wish to make the so ciety subeervient to the Say ngs Bank, by urging the de. , ositors, as tar as practi'•-' to remove their r came, ._ money when sufficiently accumulated, to that excellent institu tion. This was now done, they were happy to state, to a considerable and rapidly increasing extent. and. during the past year, no less an amount than £232 175., in sums varying from XI to £2O, has been thus transferred by twritty-seven depositors. It appeared that, i n „ nse _ quence of the slight demands upon the society, ( - m i n i- to the causes above stated, the balance of £B2 6s. 54-d. last year remaining in the treasurer's hands, had this year been increased to £449 ls. lid.

There was at pres:tut a balance in the treasurer's hands of £226. and in the hands of the bankers of £223. Some di,cu-sion followed as to the want of visitors, which was considered as one of the great est difficulties will) which the society had to contend, and by which its operations were very much limited. It was stated that paid v;sitors might be lbtained, but then they would not act effectively on the moral feelings of the poor, and, generally speaking, it was contended thet they did their writ k inefficiently ; besides. the moment paid visitors were employed the voluntary visi ors would cease to act.

Now, the committee, by us to whom this Roold invite your attention to ite El ciety At. important cimu-e in tl.e means, i.e., to t this resolution is a charac , er given of the Church Mis sionary Society—that it n aintains and teaches the pure principles of evangelical truth. These may be considered with reference to government, and with reference to df.c. trine. The language o► .re resolution suggests this divi sion. The Church Missionary Society maintains the pure principles of evaogehcal truth in gave. anent, and teaches those principles in doctrine. One of the first principles of pure evangelical truth in goy, rnment is this —that the powers that be ate ordained of God ; and that, wrath: but al•o tur coos ienre take ?here is the wides possible separation between evangelical truth ae.d radical insubordination. Another fundamental trinciple of evan gelical truth in the (natter of government is this—that God who has ordained the pr,wer has also revealed the law under which the power is to govern, and has com manded all parties, the governor and the governed,- to take herd to Ilia law. The rower, therefore, is not abso lute or arbitrary, but administrative of a given law. This at plies to all n‘tiluied authority, civil and cedes astieal. Civil rulers, ir.fluerrer d by evangt Heal truth, would not, could not, desire to he ahsoltre ; hecause they must desire that the 14w of their Gcd may be known by their suliects: r sull,cts to c , roent to any viola! ion of that law.

Thus we distinguish between an absolute and an ad inistrati,e eni•copt , cy. An absolute episcopacy can dispense with the Bible. Retetence to the Bible can only cause embarrassment and vtaation and annoyance: and therefore un anxious desire of such an Evise( . l.acy 'must et er be to k, et, the Bible, as much as pos,ble, from the members of the CI urch ; or FO to mingle it with inte iesttd traditions and prejudge it with convenient COM met is as to neutralize its testimony against their ust.r pat ions. He re we recognise the hierarchy of Rome. An administrative Episcopacy cannot dispense with the Bible. The Bible is at once the warrant and the limirtvion of its authority ; the chat ter and the boundary of its jurisdic tion. It cannot but plead the one, it desires not to ex ceed the other; and therefore it inculcates on all the members of the Church, diligent attention to the Bible. Here we recognise the Church of England. It is un happily too title that there is a party in :he Church of England, who in defiance of her plainest declarations, have become the advocates of an absolute Episcopacy ; but I trust, Sir, that tieither you nor 1, nor the Church Nlist.ionary Society, in any branch of its adminihttat on, Scriptural claim. We are Episcopalians, conscientiously and heartily so; but our Bishops are Bishops, with an d below the Bible; and not I ishops without or above the Bible. This is the pure principle of the Evangelical truth, in the natter of government, on which the Church M:ssionary Society has ever acted. Deferring with un feigned satisfaction to the Episcopal office; rejoicing in the order, sobriety. and stability secured by its dignified decisions, and executive efficiency ; anxious in every thing which dues not interfere wi►h revealed truth, to place itself. its mistconai its. and all its operations, under the paternal jurisdiction of our Right Reverend Prelates; bat still remembering that God has spoken to the mem- fine' tribe t•gu,tiug accumula►ior of impurity is far from healthy.
