(Hear, h e ,end cheers.) The church was now presided over, so Vr as " a man could be said to preside over it, by one who ilif f i r oost faithful to its teachings, who never counted 4 4 °44 3' or sacrifice, but went on steadily, faithfully, Tr 4 f earlessly, and, at the same time, lovingly, to do Pe d l l 3' t • a . in that state of life to which it had ra titi T e u God to call him.

(Cheers) He could only, in returning thanks, echo the sentiment which had bhen se well expressed by his esteemed friend, the principal of St, Aidau's•—namely, that on the present occassion, no feeling of self-gratification could be allowed to present itself. The objects of the institution had been well handled. The principal object was to supply one of the great wants of the Church of England. Every portion of the Church of England should increase proportionately one with the other. The church wanted an increased number of parishes, an increased number of churches, an increased number of bishops, and an increased number of clergymen. They wanted to repeat a saying of the Archbishop of Canterbury, that every flock should have its pastor, and every pastor his flock. This, then, was an institution in which men wereprepared for that purpose. When Dr. Baylee came to Liverpool, trained as . • • he had been to missionary enrts and to a missionary life, his mind fully realised all the great work which he had to perform. He came there, as he had himself most eloquently and ably described, with his mind deeply impressed with the awful responsibility of so many thousand souls to be cared for. It was upon that very day six years ago, that a meeting was held in Liverpool, at which Rector Campbell presided, for the purpose of raising £lO,OOO for the erection of that college. This was just after the London committee had been formed. He well remembered the effect which was then produced by Dr. Baylee's statement, and the deep interest which it excited. The result which had been attained was the best evidence of the success which followed that meeting. Six intervening years had passed—they had, indeed, been years of uphill work, and of continuous effort. They nad, indeed, been years marked by many difficulties, but also marked by as many eneouragements. (Hear, hear.) For the result he need only say eireumspice. (Hear, hear.) In the first instance, a site was obtained for the college, of which they were not able to make use ; and, through the liberality of a man well known and respected in that neigh bourhood, Mr. Brassey, they were enabled to sell that site, and obtain a very large profit upon the sale. Then they purchased the present site upon which the building stood. The land was purchased from the Birkenhead commissioners, whose bonds were at a discount at the time, and conse quently the committee were enabled, by a fortuitous circum stance in money affairs, to become possessed of an estate far more valuable than the sum given for it. On the security of that estate money had been raised, and, with that money, the present building was erected. They had then to the value of £22,000 in the building, and in land, which had grown out of a subscription, he might say, to the amount of £5.000. Not more than £5,000 had been raised by subscription. The college had, however, met with much generous and liberal assistance. The council must feel a deep debt of gratitude to their commercial friend, Mr. Torr, and others, who had given their time and attention, and whose commercial experience was found most valuable. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) No doubt, in addition to the aid of these gentlemen in the arrangement necessary for the institution the sanction of their names had been of great weight in Liverpool, and had obtained what probably otherwise the council might not have been successful in obtaining. Nothing, he felt, could be of greater importance than that an institution like that, which appealed to the public for support, should be placed upon a footing as regarded its accounts, to which the public might look with extreme confidence ; and in a great com mercial community like this, he felt that the council were especially called upon to have all the monetary affairs of the institution placed in the most satisfactory and un assailable position. (Hear, hear.) His Lordship then dwelt upon the vast importance of that college to the Church of England. It was not an institution antagonistic to the Universities. (Hear.) It was not sufficient for those who were about to take on them the duties of clergymen to be well read. It was not sufficient:to be a patristic and theological scholar. Thepeculiar feature of this institution was in the training which the students obtained by the pastoral visitation in Liverpool, which formed a part of the course. It was amid scenes of suffering—in the houses of sickness, and of want—amid the practical realities of life—that the truth which the students had learned, came into actual force. This institution was, therefore, of especial use to the Church of England, in forming a band of trained and disciplined ministers. It did not prevent them from obtaining theological erudition. It did not prevent them from going through an university, but it placed before them an opportunity of obtaining a practical training, such as no university could afford them. (Cheers.) The Church of England must be adapted to the wants of the people. It could, no longer, live on prestege. (Hear. hear.) They lived at a time which was marked by a scrutinising and a crucial enquiry into every thing. They had arrived at a period when the basis upon which everything rested, was being tried and questioned. The utility of every institution, must be the stamp of its merit. (Hear, hear.) The Church of England would not be free from that scrutiny to which every other of their insti tutions had been or' would be subjected. The Church of England, in order to be a permanent institution, humanly speaking, must be a institution which was suited to and capable of supplying the wants of the people of the country. (Ilear.)!lt wasanlexpression of the late Sir Robert Peel that it was useless to polish the gilded cornices of the temple unless they widened the basis on which it rested. No in stitution of the kind was eminently suited to supply the wants of the church. It would send forth ministers capable of addresing the poor, and the masses of the country ; of appealing to their sympathies, of meeting their wants, of gaining an influence over them, and, by means of such minister, the Church of England would be laying the groundwork of future usefulness, the foundation of future security, and by making herself permanent in that country, providing for her extension and permanence throughout the world. (Hear, heir, and cheers.) His Lordship, after some further observation., resumed his seat amid enthusiastic applause. The Chairman then gave " The Liverpool Committee ;" and called upon Mr. John Torr to respond. Mr. Torr, on risince, was loudly cheered. In replying, he said that he believed that to the committee, with which he had been associated, the institution owed much. lie felt especial gratification in responding to the toast, because it gave him an opportunity of thanking, which he did most sincerely, the gentlemen who so readily came forward at his appeal, and gave their subscriptions towards the founda• tion of the institution, then completely in embryo, and established in a place rather antagonistic, as it was then falsely supposed, to the interests of Liverpool. The twelve gentlemen whom he first solicited for subscriptions gave him £l,2oo—(cheers)—an instance of liberality which, he ven tured to say, was seldom equalled, and still more rarely exceeded. He would appeal to those of the subscribers who had looked upon that noble pile, and ask them whether he could not demand at their hands a receipt in full for value received for the money they had spent ? (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) There were still many outworks required to complete their fortification. It was a noble pile, but it was in the midst of desolation. Considerable additions were required to their funds, and he hoped that what had been already done would be an encouragement to further contributions. Mr. Torr then eloquently urged upon those present the necessity of enabling the work which had been so nobly commenced to be finished on a commensurate scale, and concluded amid loud applause. The Chairman proposed " The Liverpool Collegiate In stitution." (Cheers). The Rev. Mr. Hewson, who was loudly applauded, ac knowledged the toast in a short but effective address. Mr. Greene, M.P., proposed the health of the noble chairman, which was drunk with an the honours. The Chairman replied. Mr. Torr, amid loud cheers, proposed " The Ladies, and Lady Rayleigh." Lord Rayleigh acknowledged the toast, and announced, on behalf of Lady Rayleigh, a donation of £lOO towards the funds of the institution. The announcement was warmly applauded. The assembly shortly after broke up. TYE UNPOPULARITY OF THE DOCTRINES OF TUE LATTER DAY SAINTS AT WAKEFIELD.-It is a. general practice for this body to assemble at the top of Westgate, Wakefield, on Sunday evenings, and there exert their declamatory powers in behalf of their religion. On Sunday evening the mem bers assembled as usual, and were addressed by one of the elders, who was heard with patience until he had nearly finished his discourse ; when one of his hearers, not agree • ing with him on one or two points, contradicted him, and invited him to a discussion. The elder, however, not being inclined to discuss such " solemn truths" with an " unor dained," descended from his rostrum and made off for the meeting house, pursued by hundreds of persons, who, on the route, mobbed the elder and others in connection with the church of Latter-day Saints. With some difficulty they got within the precincts of their meeting-house, when they locked the door in the faces of the excited and yelling multi tude, who commenced throwing stones, &c., against the door, with the intention of breaking it open; and had it not been for the prompt assistance rendered by the police, they would no doubt have succeeded. These narrow minded Clamourers—Professors who repro bate improvement and discovery as innovations—are silenoed by the most respectable part of the Faculty, who do not scruple to recommend such articles as have acquired celebrity by their intrinsic merit. But it is a subject of regret, with all classes of the community, that the most valuable Patent and Public Medicines are often counterfeited.

Yesterday, a large number of scientific, mercantile, and other gentlemen paid a visit to the extensive and important chain and anchor works of Messrs. Woodßrothers, Saltney, near Chester, aid we have rarely observed more interest on any occasion, than that manifested by the large and respect able company assenibled. The object was to see the testing of chain cables—a subject that has now become so intimately connected with the shipping of the port of Liverpool as to attract the greatest attention, not only of owners of vessels, but with all concerned in the important trade of our port, of which the shipping forms the . chief portion. Before entering on the more immediate business of the day, it may be observed that the Messrs. Wood Brothers are the most extensive manufacturers of anchors and cha!n cables, perhaps, in the world, for there is no house known to equal them in extent. The introduction of chains, for the old rape cable, is of a very moderate growth, and, therefore, the subject is well worthy of attention. Iron ships have been produced, to the astonishment of m any . within the last few years, and it is not therefore wonde r f u l, that almost everything connected with a ship should b e iron. Externally, chains and anchors are the most import— ant portion of a vessel ; and the particular attention of the eminent house of Wood Brothers has been turned scientifi cally, for some years past, to these points ; and, from what we saw yesterday, and judging from the honest experiences of scientific minds, we are of opinion that, so far as s c i ence goes at present, nothing more can be done in the way of chains and anchors, and that Messrs. Wood have achieved a great victory in the way of iron wo r ki ng , in reference to the furnishing of ships, in the smallest detail. The works at Saltney are of an extensive description, and covers a large space of ground ; and we have h ar dl y , if ever, observed such regularity, and, as it were, discipline, as we observed amongst the large number of men employed at the works. To use a well known adage, " There is a place for everything," and everything is certainly in its piaci ; and, to the uninitiated, a visit to the works will not only repay, but enlighten considerably. The firm possesses three large factories and houses ; the first at Saltney, near Chester (the scene of yesterday's proceedings) ; one at Wol verhampton ; and one at Stourbridge ; and, altogether, they have over 1,400 persons in their employment—the chief portion of these being skilled workmen ; without calculating engineers and others of a higher class—and again, counting up common labourers, boys, &c. The apparatus alone at the Saltney works, will give some idea of the magnitude of the operations carried on there. There is one of Nasmyth's hammers 45 cwt., one of 20 cwt., and one of 15 cwt., all worked by steam, and in constant motion, beating out iron or welding it together for the purpose of fabricating chains; and anchors. A Helve hammer of 5 tons, and one of one ton two proving chains (machines, ion the same principle as those used in her Majesty's dock-yards for testing chain cables!; one to prove a chain of 150 tons, and one to prove a chain of 100 tons strain. At this place they forge about 50 tons of chain cable per week ; about fifteen sets of anchors, of more than 30 tons, a week, of all sizes, common, and Trotman's patent anchors, which have now nearly superseded all others—not only from their superiority, and lightness, but their cheapness, when compared with the other sorts usually in use. The great number of these anchors made, ready for use, and the quantity in course of fabrication, show the estimation in which these anchors are held. They are made from five tons downwards, and it has been proved, that one of them of far less density than the old sort of anchor, is twenty times as effective. At Wolverhampton the house makes fifty tons of chain cable per week, and at Stourbridge about sixty tons, this being chiefly of small quality, for ships' rigging and crane purposes. At Saltney they make all sorts of iron works for shipping, including castings —Saxsby's patent stoppes, and a variety of other articles in that line. As remarked, a large company had been invited yesterday to witness the testing of some chaiu cables, and to inspect the works generally at Saltney. There was a special train at the Birkenbead terminus at a quarter before eleven to receive the company, and convey the gentlemen composing it to the factory. Amongst the numerous and highly respectable company assembled were the following : MEMBERS OF THE TOWN COUNCIL —Aldermen Bennett and Cooper, James Holmes, and J. Gladstone, jun. DOCK TRUSTEES.—Messrs. John Lockett and James Smith. EMIGRATION OFFICERS.—Captain Schomberg (Chief), R.N., Captain James and Hazeldine. DIRECTJRS OF LIVERPOOL STEAM TIM COMPANIES.— Messrs. John Gorden, Edward Heath, G. B. Bateson, and Dantic (manager), Mr. M`Donnell, supervisor of the Liverpool Corporation proving machine, Mr. Pope, Lloyd's surveyor for Liverpool district, Messrs. James Beasley, Walter M'Gregor, Bushby, Edwards, Charles Buff, Charles Saifelt, Thomas Clint, Adam Beard, Grinnell (firm of Bowman and Grinnell), J. E. Marsh, William E. Clayton, Mussabini, G. Ross, John Aikin, William Lindsey, 8. M. Soxby, Captain Reed (manager of the ferries), John Trotman, and nearly fifty other gentlemen, whose names we could not procure, all in some de g ree connected with, or have an interest in, the shipping of the port of Liverpool. Letters of apology were read from the following gentlemen : Messrs. Robertson Gladstone, George Kendall, Alderman Bold, Admiral Grenfell, J. B. Hardy, and others, expres ing their regret that pre-engagements and other matters prevented them being present, which they would very much like to have been, if not prevented. The company was most cordially received by the Messrs. Wood, and it may be remar:;ed, once for all, that the ur banity of these gentlemen to the numerous visitors was of the real English style, and, without assumption on the part of Messrs. Wood, they won the good opinion and esteem of all who visited the premises. The curiosity of every one was excited at the first entrance into the premises, which re semble the busy scene in a small town on a market day. To describe, in detail, the various process of iron from its crude state—from its liquid boil until it is turned out in anchors, which for ornament (if we may say so) an d use cannot be equalted—would occupy more time and spice than we can possibly devote to such an important and in teresting subject. Suffice to add, that here may be witnessed iron in all shapes and forms, and in every stage of manu facture for ships' use. The forging of the great anchors is, of course, one of the chief objects; and certainly, had we time, we should enter into a minute description of this work, which is one of great interest. The fabrication of the chains from the time they are rolled and cut into regular pieces, whilst red hot, by verticle saws—the facility with which the men weld and connect these ponderous chains—the accuracy, nay, the scientific manner in which these huge cables are, turned, delight and astonish every one. The company having gone over the whole factory, and examined its details, which were all explained by one of the principals,, or some of their intelligent employees, and having seen all the operatives from first to last, were invited to witness the testing of some cables. The testing machine is one of enor mous power, on the hydraulicprinciple, butmost effective, and capable almost of any strength. The first experiment was made on an ordinary chain cable fifteen fathoms long, links of two inches. The strain on this was for seventeen minutes, and it yielded to a pressure of sixty-eight tons only three feet, after which no strain that could be put on it had any effect. The second, in like manner, was a two inch chain of like length and links as the other. At a pressure of sixty-six tons, this only yielded two feet five inches, and stopped at that, so that no further pressure had any effect on it. About three hours having been spent on the inspection of the works, the company proceeded to partake of a splendid repast, which was laid out in an hotel adjoining the premises. There was everything that could be wished for in the shape of viands; champagne and other favourite wines were in abundance, and of the best quality. Thomas Wood, Esq., was in the chair, and his brother Henry sat next him while William acted as Vice chairman. The " good things" having been " duly respected," the Chair man, in succession, gave all the loyal toasts, which were duly honoured. He then gave, in brief but appropriate terms, the " Army and Navy," and this was duly honoured. Captain Scbomberg being loudly called on, returned thanks. They all were well acquainted with what the army and navy had done for them in the time of need, and if occasion required their services to-morrow, the army and navy would be as willing to fight and again conquer, for the honour of the country, as they had done already. (Cheers.) He passed a high compliment on Mr. Wood, for all he had done for the shipping of the country, and hoped that, if another war broke out, the country would have an " Iron Wood to sustain it." (Loud cheers.) The Chairman then gave " Prosperity to the town and trade of Liverpool," coupled with the names of Messrs. James Holmes, and James Beasley. The toast was received with loud cheering. Mr. James Holmes returned thanks. He did not think, when coming out that day, that he would be called on to say a word, but when he had seen the works which he had the satisfaction of viewing that day, and when he considered the influence and advantage such works were is the town and trade of Liverpool, he could not but think that the town was increasing in shipping prosperity. (Cheers.) Ile trusted that the dock trustees would provide testing ,machines such as he had witnessed, and if they wanted all one side of the Mersey for docks, they had at least Birkenhead, where they could have safety tests, such as Mr. Wood had established at Saltnev. (Cheers.) Having duly thanked the company, he sat down amid considerable applause. Mr. Beasley also returned thanks; and, as illustrative of the superiority of Liverpool'over any other port in the king dom, be stated that, some five or six weeks ago, a 1600 ton ship of his arrived in London from a foreign port. He went to London to get a good freight, if such offered, and bis agent there told him he might get a freight, perhaps, in 70 days. (Hear, hear.) He, of couse, did not like that, and he had the ship brought round to Liverpool, and in 35 days after she sailed from London she was on her voyage from Liverpool to Australia with a firs t rate freight. (Loud cheers.) He had a few days ago a lette r from his London brokers asking for a ship, but tie wrote, saying that he was so disgusted th a t h e w ould not send any more of his ships there, and the broker, in reply, said Liverpool was at least a century before London. (Loud cheers.) And between Wood's chains and Trotman's anchors, they would make Liverpool another century in advance of any port in the world. (Loud cheers.) Tke next toast proposed was, " The Town Council and Dock Committee of Liverpool," with the names of Alderman Bennett and Mr. Lockett. The toast was duly honoured ; and Alderman Bennett returned thanks, as did also Mr. Lockett, both gentlemen speaking in very eulogistic terms of Messrs. Wood's factory, and the excellence and variety of the work produced there. The Chairman then gave " Tne Press," which was re• oeived with loud applause. Mr. Meany, of the Daily Post, returned thanks. Mr. Redmond, of the NORTHERN TIMES, also duly acknowledged the compliment. Mr. Henry Wood, one of the partners in the firm, then rose and said :--Gentletnen, though not in the habit of addressing public assemblies, I cannot, on this occasion, avoid saying a few words in explanation of the object which calls us together. It is contemplated to extend the Liver pool Corporation proving machine for chain cables, by the addition of one or more machines ; and the Town Council committee, under whose management it is, having expressed a desire to inspect those in use at our altney works, we have invited them, with a number of our shipowning friends to-day, to inspect these machines, and the other departments of these works. The Corporation machine, as it now is, is a very small affair, and quite incapable of testing•more than a fractional portion of all the cables that are sent to, or made in, Liverpool. At this and our other works we have four proving machines, and find it necessary to put up a fifth, and these, of course, are for our own manufacture only. All are worked by steam, while the one belonging th the Corporation is worked by the tedious process of manual labour. (Hear.) There is no articles of manufacture, upon the efficiency of which more life and property are dependent for safety, than chains and anchors. We do not, therefore, complain that shipowners should be very watchful of the manufac turer to ensure efficiency (hear, hear). Every means should be afforded to enable you to see if they are efficient. Such being our ideas, we are constantly inviting to our works, gentlemen for whom we are making these articles, especi ally for the purpose of witnessing the proving of chain cables, and the quality of the iron and workmanship. Many of our customers are in the habit of sending an inspector to witness this. It is urged by some that the proving of chains is a matter of such importance, that it ought not to be en trusted to private bands; and it is argued that, as all gun barrels must be proved at the government proving machine at Birmingham or the Tower, chain cables, which are far more important, upon the efficiency of which the safety of far more life and property depends, ought all to be proved -at machines under the control of public bodies such as the Liverpool Corporation; or that it should be made a government matter, and that at the principal ports in the country the government should erect machines. At all the government dock yards, chain cables, and anchors, too, are tested by such machines as you have inspected to-day. For the present, the Town Council have resolved upon putting up in Liverpool one additional machine, but it is understood this is merely a temporary arrangement. It has been suggested to put up a number of machines at Birkenhead, very much to reduce the price for proving, and to have facilities for testing anchors also. Birkenhead is suggested, as it possesses many advantages over Liverpool. We have a pod deal of money invested in proving machines, and our works arranged for their use. We are, however, by no means adverse to such a scheme as I have alluded to. We are ready to acquiesce in any plan that may be deemed necessary to meet the requirements of the times. (Applause.) And now, gentlemen, I would say one word in regard to the requirements of the times. It is characteristic of the Liverpool shipowners to be foremost in finding these ; they are the foremost to try and to adopt any improvement in ships or matters con nected therewith. We have found this in several instances, especially in regard to Tretman's patent anchors. (Hear, hear.) The Liverpool shipowners were the first to adopt these anchors, which were proved by a careful series of government trials in 1852, and by almost daily experience since, to aff ird far greater security than any others. (Applause.) I may also mention that of late there has been a largely growing desire among you for a better than ordinary description of cables, and this year some hundreds of tons of cables that we have made have been of that superior description. I beg to propose prosperity to the town and trade of Liverpool, and may it always be the leading port of the world ; I would couple the names of James Beazley and James Holme. (Cheers.) The 4 4 Town and trade of Chester" was then given, and responded, and after several other toasts were given and responded to, the company returned to town, by special train, highly delighted with the day's proceedings.
