The farmer cannot ob- ject to such a wish The Times tickled the public the oth Liy by "coming Int" with a " dainty device" in the form of a neatly xecuted penny stamp engraving, cheek by jowl with our ime-bonoured friends,— " The lion and the unicorn Fighting for the crown," 'literati= in lieu of the nast tamp-office daub per- petrated by the officials at Somerset-house. Various were the conjectures as to the cause of the change. "Another sop," said one. " Ah, the Times is always favoured," said another quid nunc. Let us look at the question; it is an interesting one, and, it may be, will lead to a wonderful change in the modus operandi in QUEEN VICTORIA'S Stamp-office. In the basement of Somerset-house, on the liver side, and below the level of the Thames, steam is at work for the purpose of stamping everything stampable by act of parliament, from the new penny receipt up to the missive of lease, of I know not how many , hundreds of pounds value; nor shall I inquire much into this part of the business, contenting myself with stamps on knowledge. In the principal quarter of the quadrangle of Somerset house, as indicated, facing the visitor as he enters from the Strand, all the year through, save on Sundays, he may notice huge covered waggons, with huger horses attached, lazily casting their nose-bags about. These waggons have brought tons of paper, packed in reams, from the wholesale stationer sometimes, but most commonly from the manu facturers' paper-mills, situated on some pleasant and peaceful stream, tributary to the Thames chiefly. Close to the gateway of the department of stamps, you perceive a gaping aperture, with a throat of ample dimensions, at an angle of 45°, down this is slid ream after ream of material to be stamped for the newspapers. In due time, but after long .delay, the sheets come up stamped, fit to be taken to the printing-office. Those who do business on a large scale pay on the nail with a crossed cheque. The Times pay now, even with the penny stamp, at least £50,000 a year; they stamp two tons of paper on an average daily. Cash down, of course, is out of the question for this ; the crossed cheque presents a greater facility of doing business. Woe betide the small pub lisher who may only require £l5 or £2O worth stamped, and tenders his tin, over the well-used stamp-office coun ter; the slightest flaw in silver threepenny, fourpenny, and so on, upwards to half-sovereign and sovereign, is Pushed back—refused. The stamp people are right ; they pay their money slick to the mint, and there's no higgling there. Well, the stamp-office men are all busy ; you can see by the smoke of the QUEEN'S chimney, which does not _ that the engine is at work—stokers, cokers, porters, stampers, characters of all descriptions—too numerous to mention—are engaged. Hundreds of thousands of sheets are stamped, each sheet has to be counted,men and horses are waiting outside, the stamped sheets, when they are got, have to be carted home, stamps having been previously affixed to the wrappers. All this and much more has to be achieved 'before the machine-man at the newspaper office can manipulate a single sheet. The Times people have been known to order 1,000,000 of the old supplement stamps at a time to be ready, and to save trouble when time could not be afforded. Such is a cursory glance at the business of the newspaper stamping office ; the receipts are prodigious ; the out-goings are also heavy. But touch ing the new dodge of the Times—the "dainty device" aforesaid ! See how easy ! a bit of machinery works a die, marked one penny in the centre, the copy is thrown off in the Times office without going to Somerset-house at all. Surveillance ? Td be sure. Do not excisemen lock up soap-boilers ? Yea. The exciseman at the Times office, at a salary of £4 . a-week, may supersede a hundred times the amount at Somerset-house. What do you think of that, Mr. GLADSTONE ? You can save a vast sum by the dodge, and simplify business: Of course, though the Times has got the honour of introducing the new plan, if it work, and work, it must, it will be extended to the other papers. Let me break out in a fresh place. The "Life of JOHN *ABERNETHY," by one of his pupils, just published, has undeceived many thousands not only belonging to the pro fession, but among the elder branches of the upper classes —those who remember the wonderful eccentricities, the apparently coarse and gruff manner, yet undoubted amenity, of the great surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hos pital. Everybody believed JOHNNIE ABERNETHY to be a Scotchman, and, in truth, in many respects he resembled his confreres, the two HUNTERS, who were bona fide Scotch lads. ABERNETHY was a Cockney, of Milesian origin. Many curious anecdotes are told of him in the work referred to—many more that I know of are untold, — probably because they are too racy, or unknown to the author. A boy of moderate comprehension could carry away three-quarters of one of ABERNETIIY'S lectures—so plain —so well arranged —so anecdotical. Who, that heard it, will ever forget his lecture on the first application —or exhibition—of that powerful medicine—Croton oil ? No one. I doubt not that there be some of your Liverpool professional gentlemen who were auditors on the occasion ; it was delivered in the College of Surgeons when Sir ASTLEY was president ; that courteous baronet sat in the chair, and was compelled, during nearly the whole of ABER ICETHY'S lecture, to conceal his face—or at least the laughing part of it—by placing his hand before it, as it would have been deemed contra bonos mores for the president to be seen smiling—let alone laughing ! The theatre resounded; LISTON (the actor, not the surgeon) never produced more, nor 'heartier laughter, than Joan' ABERNETHY, de scribing the cathartic effects of the first dose of Croton in England—or, for the matter of that—anywhere else — on a sailor. Does ABERNETHY'S biographer notice this ? I think not. We have in the metropolis now scarcely an operating surgeon worth mentioning. BRA.NSBY COOPER, in midtime of his days, has gone, after acquiring some fame and some obloquy, with "my uncle's knife." Poor fortune ; it appears he has left personal property to the amount of £6OOO. Those confounded horses and carriages swallow up a fortune per annum. Sir BENJAMIN BRODIE, the Sergeant-Surgeon, I keep out of the rerord, as he is only seen among the rich from night to morn, dining late in the evening, anyhow,—then out again to extirpate carbuncles and look after broken legs,—badly set ; about one or two o'clock in the morning you may have a friendly epistle written to you. This is his only period of relaxation. What a life ! Such is BRODIE'S ;it has re duced him to the appearance—l had nearly said, con sistency—of an animated mummy ! In no profession, probably, has such a change come o'er the spirit if it, as has been the case in the twin pro d one regrets that 'essions—r the change does well-earned and pr With your HALF° support the hitherto 13LBINGTorrs, and e.

INGLEPIELD, a capital officer as good as 111`CLuBE, doubtless—was only honoured messenger—bearer of the discovered de spatches, yet the same breath promotes both. To lands men the affair may be considered as nothing; not so with " Jack," who is as jealous of his honour as he is brave in maintaining it against all the world. Is INGLErIELn's nro- the dis EFIELD motion in any way connected with his rumoured mar The QUEEN has graciously - placed a feather in the cap of SAMUEL PHELPS, the lessee of Sadler's Wells Theatre, by commanding him to Windsor, to superintend the Court plays at Christmas-tide. In conferring this high honour, fdo not hear that there is any difference in opi nion betwixt the royal patron of these performances and Mr. CHARLES KEAN, the former director. The few dra- matic and literary people already acquainted with the fact, believe that it is a graceful tribute, spontaneously paid by the SOVEREIGN to one of our best and most ardent Shaksperian scholars, who, in his classical temple, situ ated in the ultima thule of civilization, nightly—never mind what sort of weather—draws countless crowds to see and hear WILLIAM SIIAKSPERE'S plays represented in a manner heretofore unsurpassed in all the higher attributes. No doubt, MA.CREA.DY, CHARLES KENiLE, and VESTRIS, did much more than SA.MIIEL PHELPS, in what the French style " mounting," though the Sadler's Wells manager is not deficient in that regard. It is to Mr. PHELPS' nice attention to the text of the great author —his striving to understand and appreciate pro perly, not only for himself, but for his dramatis personce, the unwinking attention to correctness of details, in order to a great whole : these, and other points, have consecrated the name of Mr. PHELPS for many a long day. His pro ': " Midsummer' Night's Dream "—a most diffi cult attempt — the play itself fantastic in the extreme — would play havoc with a vulgar manager, or a stinting one : how different is the result at the Wells ! Bottom the Weaver, as sustained by the manager, is a living picture-type of a numerous race. Who has not met a Bottom? Self-sufficient, conceited ignoramus. I hold, and have held for years, the belief that Bottom the Weaver is one of SHARSPERE'S finest drawn characters. SAM. PHELPS, by his undertaking its delineation, seems to be of the same way of thinking. The programme of the Court plays has not yet been made. It is understood there will be three of SHARSPERE'S plays, with five or six modern dramas from JERROLD'S and PLANCHE'S plumes. If no contretemps occur, the season, it is anti cipated, will be very hearty at Windsor Castle during the Christmas holidays. In reference to the plays, Mr. GRIEVE has begun to look after the scenery, in order to the production of some " striking effects" in the RUBENS' room. There was another gathering of dramatic and literary duction of " dustmen," at the deal Hole, on Saturday,Tßaoo7i 7 , the tragedian, gave to SMITH, the lessee of Drury-lane, a diamond ring, and so forth ; thanked him for his kind ness, which meant that he had been paid,—happily the fact, not only as regards BffooKE, but every one, down to the crones who wash and whiten Bon ELLISTON'S magni ficent staircase, the grandest of any theatre you can name on this side of La Scala. It cost ROBERT WILLIAM ELLIBTON £60,000; at least he was responsible to the architect and mason for the sum. Much is expected from the ones at Drury-lane. Nous verrons. WIGAN, now the cleverest actor in his way—once the veriest stick—is doing wonders at the Olympic : clever dramas, cleverly represented; the elite in his boxes and stalls. Old T. P. COOKE is doing William in JERROLD'S " Black-Eyed Susan," down easter. What a load of money this veteran sailor-actor must have made by William. I wonder if he could lend the author a " ten pun' note " now—if he wanted such a thing ? Your Liverpool people have good tastes, if 'judge from the good things said and sung about them by actors and vocalists who have returned to the me tropolis after having fulfilled) engagements in your good town. They are all eloquent in praise. Well, I won't say much about WILLIAM FARREN. I don't think he is very glib ; but he ought to have left off long ago—say with MARE LEMON'S Grandfather Whitehead. There is a good feeling here, if it were but properly stirred up, in reference to poor old JEM BROWNE, once a famous Liver pool man : his was the best Goldfinch I ever saw repre sented—save one. I am afraid numbers of our metropolitan tradesmen, in connection with pursuits not absolutely necessory to one's existence, are doing a hazardous way of business. Several I might name—musical and fine-art people—have been trying it on in the shape of lotteries with their various stocks. Some will give you photographic pictures for a toss ; others a grand piano -forte for twenty shillings ; others, again, a gallery—l don't say galaxy—of engravings for a very small subscription comparatively. Property, to the extent of many thousands of pounds sterling, has been set apart, in London alone, during the last three months, for disposal in this way. The parties have sailed wonderfully close upon the Lottery Abolition Act. They have vigilant enemies in the London Art Union folks, and one poor wight, two or three nights ago, was to have made all Holborn vocal with his "pipes and strings," having a drawing for I know not how many pianos. Up sent PALMY two or three brace of policemen, and stopped the drawing. Does a " Goose Club" come within the scope of the act ? What the National Gallery people are about, it would puzzle a conjuror to tell. They are very close, and their doors are closed to the public, though London is full of visitors to overflowing. We are told the people inside the gallery are cleansing—let us hope the walls only. The authorities hint they are to open in a week or two in grand style, with new presents ;— Who's the Dupe? is the title of a capital drama. Meantime, Lord ONsLow has revoked his fine gift of pictures, fearing the flaying system. In truth, there is no place to put a new picture in. I believe the skinning process has been put an end to, and purchases will be fewer, and ordered with greater care. COMMERCIAL de MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE returns of the Bank. of England for the week ended 15th of October, as published in the London Gazette, of Friday last, show a decrease in the stock of Bullion to the extent of nearly half a million. This, at first sight, might be considered a most portentous decrease, after the long drain which has so sensibly affected the Money market, but in reality the amount is rather favourable than otherwise. It was the week for the payment of the quarterly dividends, which usually consume a large amount of the circulating medium, and the effect will be seen upon reference to the changes in the other items of the account. There was a de crease in the Public Deposits of £3,156,539, while the increase in the circulation was £777,961, so that a decrease in Bullion of only £477,615 was less than might have been anticipated. The Money market has, indeed, been very easy, there being abundance for discount of good bills at short dates, so that the fluctuations in the funds, which have been of a downward tendency, are owing to causes independent of commercial affairs, which, for the present at least, may be considered in a healthy state. The more detailed statistics which have been re ceived of the last year's American Cotton crop show that, notwithstanding the apparent increase in quantity, the supply was not in excess of the de mand. The number of bales were greater, and the average weight had also been augmented, but the larger portion was of inferior quality, owing to haste in picking, which is an important operation, and as the demand was chiefly for the better quali ties, the apparent excess of stock represented a quantity not readily available for consumption, and which was still further increased by the additional Imports of East India Cotton. The stock, there fore, though nominally larger when compared with the previous year, was in reality deficient of quali ties most in demand, which accounts for the main tenance orprice in the face of apparently adverse causes. There are many conflicting accounts as to the probable results of this year's crop, upon which there is much speculation. Some accounts state that it is more than usually backward, and should frost set in, which is not at all u nlikely, it will be below an average. Other accounts, on the contrary, state that the prospects are favourable, and thatwith a good season for picking, and a decline of the epi demic, which is rapidly abating, the crop will nearly equal that of last year. Perhaps some credit may be given to both statements, but it appears probable that there will still be a large proportion of inferior quality, owing to the contingency of weather, and the difficulties which the epidemic must have thrown in the way of the picking being efficiently performed. The following is a statement of the total product of American Cotton during the last ten years, the receipts at New Orleans, and the average price per bale in each year Total Crop of United States. 1842-43 1843-44 1844-45 1845-46 1846-47 Receipts at Average Price I New Orleans. per Bale.

The reports from the Cotton manufacturing districts show a slight tendency to improvement. wing to the more favourable account of the East India markets, and the reduced amount of manu facture caused by the strikes of the operatives. Yarns have advanced in price ; and, notwithstand ing the drawbacks from the still unsettled state of the Turkish question, and the uneasy state of the Money market, the trade may be considered in a comparatively healthy state, as shown by the improved demand in our own market. In the Woollen districts, however, there appears to be considerable depression, and it is expected that prices will go lower. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 15th of Oct., g ives the following results, when compared with the previous week : Public deposits ... £3,700,859; Decrea5e23,156,539 Other deposits ... 12,664,226; Increase 1,030,539 Rest ... 3,161,161; Decrease On the other side of the account— 529,958 Government securities £12,455,161; Increase £116,078 Other securities . 17,425,089; Decreasel,sl6,46o Notes unemployed 5,012;490; Decreasel,349,4lo The amount of notes in c' ircu' lation is £2067,385, being an increase of £826,820 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £15,271,474, showing a decrease of £477,615, when compared with the preceding return. - Thereehas been no new feature in our SHAKE MARKET this week, with the fluctuations of prices very slight. Stock continues very scarce, barely sufficient to supply the small demand for invest ment that exists, while speculative sellers have still a very large account open, in the hope of a calamity in the shape of war or extreme prices of food. Guaranteed stocks are rather more offered ; local stocks very steady.

COTTON.—The market has shown considerable improN ement, owing to the advices from America being still unfavourable as to the present crop, and the necessities of manufacturers compelling them to purchase ; while the quantity taken on specula tion has been more than a fair proportion. In the week ended on Friday last, the total sales were 45,720 bales, of which 8,120 were on speculation and 4,690 for export, leaving 32,910 for the trade. The advance in prices may be quoted at 1-B€l to 3-16 d dearer since the departure of the Arctic. On Saturday the sales amounted to 6,000 bales, in cluding 1,000 for speculation and export. TO -DAY, the market was genet, notwithstanding the advices by the America were still unfavourable as far as concerned the new crop. The sales reached 6,000 bales, of which about 1,000 were on speculation and for export, and prices are without change. The followinc , is a comparison of present rates with those which ruled this time last year : New Orleans, middling fair Uplands, middling fair 1852, 6d. 61d. sid. _6ld. 1853. od. 7d. 5 13-16 d, 64d. PRODUCE.—The market during the week has been very steady, and prices of most staple articles have been fairly maintained. TO-DAY the holders of Sugar having submitted to rather lower prices, the sales have been more extensive, consisting of 250 hhds. Trinidad at 325. to 335. 6d., 80 hhds. Barbadoes at 325. 6d. to 375. 6c1., and 50 hhds. Antigua at 325. 6d. to 35s 3d., chiefly for outports, and 75 hhds. Cuba Muscovado at 325. 3d. to 345. 3d. per cwt. There are no transactiims to notice in Molasses. Of Rum, 65 puns. Trinidad have been sold, to arrive, at 2s. 6d. per proof gallon. We have had a large business doing in most descrip tions of Congou Tea, at full prices ;: common is quoted firm at 114 d. to Hid. per lb., with few sellers. Arracan Rice continues in demand, the sales since Friday amounting to nearly 14,000 bags, at 12s. to 12s. 3d. per cwt. Of the Dye woods offered by auction this morning„ only 80 tons Campeachy were sold at £8 ss. per ton. WooL.—The business of the week has again been very limited, consequently there are no transactions of any moment to report, and, as holders are not over anxious to force sales, prices may be considered nominal. Until the warlike aspect of the political world becomes more peaceable and settled, we can not expect to see any particular reaction fiom the " hand-to-month principle." Stocks of all descrip tions are now very extensive, and likely to continue so for some time. Public sales will take place to morrow, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, when about 3,000 bales, chiefly East India and damaged Alpaca, will be offered. Imports for the week 4,192 bales. The last series of London Colonial Wool sales for the present year commenced on Thursday last, with a full attendance of both home and con tinental buyers, and for good Wools there was a fair competition, but inferior kinds sold heavily. The prices obtained are lower than the July sales by 1-Id. to 21d. per lb. The quantity which it was expected would be offered was 58,000 bales, subse quently it was agreed to withdraw 10,000 bales. —have LANs- THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. MURDER IN LIVERPOOL AnouT half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday night, a murder of an atrocious and cold-blooded character was perpetrated in Charles-street. Two seamen, named re spectively Richard Crispin and John Crimp, part of the crew of the schooner Compeer, Captain Weeks, now in Canning Dock, were passing along Charles-street at the time named ; while two other seamen, one named Thomas Williams, an American, the other, Emanuel Montero, a Spaniard, belonging to the Spanish vessel the Triomfante, were passing on the opposite side. Crispin, it is alleged, shouted over the street, " There's two whitewashed Ame rican sons of b-." Williams, resenting the epithet, kicked Crispin twice in the abdomen, on which a fight ensued, all four participating less or more in it. While the fight was going on, Montero, drawing a large knife from its sheath, stabbed both Crispin and Crimp in the groin, and immediately ran away. Crispin, who almost immediately fell to the ground, was conveyed in a car to the Northern Hospital, where he expired within a few minutes after his admission. Crimp, unconscious of the severity of his own wound, accompanied his shipmate to the hospital, where his case was attended to, and where he still lies in a very dangerous condition. Both prisoners were taken into custody in course of Sunday. Yesterday, they were both brought up at the Police Court, before J. H. Turner, Esq., and arraigned on the capital charge of murder. Montero, being unable to speak or to understand English, Mr. Charles Hunt, translator, &c., attended on his behalf, at the instance of the Spanish Consul. The case having occasioned con siderable excitement, the court was crowded during the investigation. Police Constable Francis O'Neil, No. 220, was the first witness examined. He said that about half-past twelve o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, he was on duty in the neighbourhood of Charles-street, and he heard a row at the bottom of the street. He went to disperse the crowd, and the people went away. On turning round into Whitechapel, he saw a man lying on the pavement, bleed ing very much. Witness was informed the man had been stabbed by a foreigner, who had run away. On looking round, witness saw a man running up Charles-street, and turn into- Marble-street. Witness ran after, but did not overtake him. On reaching Marble-street, he saw a man standing up at the corner, bleeding ; but was unable then to learn anything as to the man who had committed the crime. He returned toWhitechapel, and conveyed the in jured man totheNorthern Hospital in a car: the other,Who said he was his comrade, went with them. The man who was lying in the street died in a few minutes after he was taken to the hospital. The case of the other man was examined into, and it was found he also was seriously wounded, and he now lies in the hospital in a dangerous condition. On Sunday,in consequence of information he had received, witness went, in the afternoon, to George's Dock, and succeeded in apprehending Montero, and brought him to the Police-office, where he was searched, and the knife now produced was found on him. [The knife, a large wooden-handled, coarse-looking table one, with a leather sheath, and marked on the handle with a rudely cut W., was produced. Its blade was stained with blood.] Nlice-constable Thomas Cottam, No. 509, from infor mation he received, went on Sunday to 19, Peter-street, where, after some little difficulty, he found the prisoner Williams. On asking if he knew anything about the man being stabbed on Saturday night, he denied all knowledge of the affair. Witness took Williams into custody, and as they were on their way to the police office, Williams said he had been in company with the man " who had done the deed," or " who had stabbed the other," and added they had slept together, but that the other man had gone away that morning. Williams, after being locked up, expressed a desire to see witness, and he went to him ; Williams then admitted that he had twice kicked one of the men who had been hurt, and said he did so because he had called him, Williams, " a bloody son o f a b- :" that a row had th en taken place in Charles-street, and that he (Williams) went away, and got into 19, Peter street. Harriet Gladsome, who lives in Charles-street, was out for some candles about twelve o'clock on Saturdaynight. There was a row in the street. It was occasioned by Williams, who was passing, and two English sailors, who were also passing. They called Williams "a son of a b--." One of the English sailors was a tall, the other a short, man. The tall one said, on being spoken to by Williams, he never called him such a name, and never insulted him. With that, Williams up with his foot and kicked him in the belly. The English sailor said, " Will you give me another half-dozen like that ?" Williams replied, " Yes," and kicked him again in the same place. They then both turned out to fight, and the English sailor knocked Wil liams down. The foreigner (Montero) stood smoking his cigar, and when he saw Williams down, he went and attacked the English sailor. Witness left them fighting. Betsy Salmon, lives in Crosshall-street, and was in Charles -street at the time spoken of. There was a crowd, and she heard the tall man call out for his shipmate. She went up to him, and seeing him about to strike the foreigner, she pushed him away, and said, " Don't you be foolish to go near him, those foreigners always carry knives."

She did not see the foreigner's face. He was dressed differently from what Montero now is, but she thought she would know his back, and was almost sure the prisoner Montero was the man. She followed the wounded man to the hospital, and saw him die; she, by leave of the surgeon, closed his eyes and his mouth. It was the tall man. [This last statement being contrary to the fact, she was re-examined, but maintained stoutly that it was the tall man who died, and whose eyes and mouth she had closed after death.] James Thompson, grocer and provision dealer, 74, White chapel, corner of Charles-street, was startled a little after twelve o'clock on Saturday night by a noise, while he was balancing his books. He opened his door to see what it was, and perceived a fight going on opposite his door. He went to separate the combatants, one of whom was the prisoner Montero ; he and a tall man were fighting. As he (witness) was about to go forward, a woman called out, "They've got knives—don't you go forward." He stopped, and observed the tall man strike Montero with the back of his hand in the face, and then step back a pace or two. The little man who is killed was urging the tall one to go and strike Montero again. Montero then walked forward and struck the little man in the belly, in doing so witness saw the flash of a knife. Montero then stepped back and struck the tall man also in the belly. Witness 'aw the flash of the knife in both cases. Witness at first thought Montero had used the handle of the knife to strike with. He afterwards saw the little man, who had been struck by Montero, lying in the street. The little man was taken away in a cab. No further evidence was offered on the present occasion, and the case was remanded for a week. DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN ST. .MICHAEL'S CHURCH. ON Sunday a circumstance, thoroughly disgraceful to the parties concerned, took place at St. Michael's Church, Pitt-street, in this town. As in all such cases, the truth is overlaid by an immense amount of misrepresentation, to use the mildest phrase. We give the accounts pub lished by our contemporaries, and subjoin a statement from a correspondent, who appears to be well informed on the subject, and on whom we believe reliance may be placed. The Albion says :—"Yesterday two scenes, happily as rare as they are painful, took place in St. MichaefsChurch, in this town, an establishment which all diligent perusers of the recently-published Borough Fund well know is the property of the Corporation. From what we gather, it seems that, for some time past, a disagreement o n d oc trinal points has existed in this church between the two minis ters, the Rev. Mr. Carpenter and the Rev. Cyrus Morralt r the congregation in general siding with the former. The disputes have mainly arisen from the recent sermons anti proceedings of the Rev. C. Morrell, who is accused of having a leaning towards Puseyism. His sermons have been sent to the Bishop of Chester, accompanied by the indignant comments of some of the members of the congregation,. while, on his part, the Rev. Mr. Morrell complained also to his diocesan of the doctrines urged in some sermons by his fellow-minister. Respecting Mr. Carpenter's, we are informed that his lordship said, "he could see no fault in them, and he wished every clergyman of the establishment would preach as good ones." Though frequently urged to take some decisive steps to put a stop to these scandalous proceedings, his lordship is said to have replied that he could not legally interfere, the baffled congregation, finding that ecclesiastical, law, like other and more common descriptions of law; is susceptible of being stretched to a wonderful extent without being broken. Matters have remained in this state for several months past, when a fresh cause of dissension was intro duced by the Rev. Mr, Morrell, in the person of the Rev. Mr. Pughe, of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields: During the last week, at the request of his congregation; the Rev. Mr. Carpenter introduced an afternoon service' for the special benefit for those who objected to the Rev. Mr. Morrall's proceedings, but, from some cause or other unmplained to us, the Rev. Mr. Morrell has lately introduced the Rev. Mr. Pughe to preach in the afternoon. The.views of this gentleman, urged, we believe, with great talent, are what is termed " extreme High Church," and they have finally brought to a head these• lamentable disputes. For the last three Sundays the Rev. Mr. Pughe has preached from the same. text, " Baptism cloth. alsoesow save us," Ist Peter, iii. chap. 21st verse, his views. on the vexata questio of baptism being thOset approve& by the Bishop of Exeter, and• SO notoriously introduced` in the Gorham dispute. Finding that they could obtain no legal redress, the congregation determined to take matters into their own - hands, by leaving the church enmasse when either of the offending ministers preached and yesterday they carried their intentions into• effect for the first time; In the morning the church, which latterly has presented a beggarly account of empty pews,. once well filled; was attended by the usual number of worshippers, who listened with attentionto the prayers read by the Rev. H.. Carpenter. At the. coneinsion of that portion of the service, the Rev. Cyrus Morrell as cended into the pulpit and gave out his text,the beharibur of the congregation being all: the time most exemplary ; but no sooner did the preacher speak the first words of his sermon, than at least two-thirds of the congregation sud denly rose, and as quietly as, possible left the church. Such a strange paoceedin F created, the greatest excitement amongst those who were ignorant of its cause. The- rev. gentleman in the pulpit appeared to be taken somewhat by surprise also; for he changed' colour, mid for a brief time appeared exceedingly nervous. He took his text from the 23d chapter of Ezekiel and thcellth verse; but in his sermon he made no allusion to the singular events which had taken place. A considerable crowd ef people surrounded thoohurch at the termination of the services r the eventsof the morning forming the principal topic of conversation. In the after noon the prayers were again read by the Rev. Mr. Carpen ter,—the Rev. Mr. Morrell sitting in a pew, and' the-Rev. Mr. Pughe in the communion: The sermon was preached by the latter gentleman, and the scenes of the morning- were re-enacted; for no sooner dine give out the text,.on which he had been preaching for the three preceding Sundays, than the greater portion ofthecongregation left the• church, in the same manner as in, the morning. The rev. gentle man appeared nothing daunted, for, after calmly waiting till the noise caused by the departing congregation had subsided, he quietly resumed his discourse, which; from the little we heard of it, appeared to be of a highly contro versial character. The sermon in the evening was preached by the Reu. Mr. Carpenter, to a lange and re spectable congregation. He made no allusion to,the events of the day. The prayers were read by the Rev.. Mr. Mor rall, who, at their conclusion, abruptly left the church. We understand that the congregation aredetermitted to act in a similar manner every Sunday, till the doctrines preached in the church are more in accords ace with their ideas ; but it is to be hoped that the enemies of the Established Church will not again be afforded opportuni ties of witnessing any rejoicing at such scenes, which are painful to all who value that ' peace and good-will amongst men,' which is one of the primary doctrines of Christianity itself, and the practice of which is more especially binding on those who profess to be its exponents." The Northern Times says :—" Yesterday afternoon a scene of a most unusual and painful nature took place at St. Michael's Church, Pitt-stteet. The incumbents of St. Michael's are the Rev. Cyrus Morrell, and the Rev. H. Carpenter, the former belonging to what is known as the High Church or Puseyite party, the latter to the Evan gelical party. , For some considerable time a misunder standing has existed between Mr. Morrell and a section of his congregation, who did not concur in his views, and placards have been posted in the neighbourhood of Pitt street, announcing the loss of a promising young preacher ; any person returning him will be rewarded with an empty pew. In consequence of the dispute to which we have adverted, it would appear that an arrangement was come to, that the Rev. Mr. Bardsley was to assist at the services in St. Michael's on Sunday. Some views of Mr. Bardsley, expressed from the pulpit, not agreeing with those of Mr. Morrell, the latter gentleman, as we learn,. refused to allow Mr. Bardsley again to officiate, and engaged in his place the curate of St. Mark's, who is also, supposed to be favourable to Puseyism. This appoint , ment, however, did not meet with the sanction of the. Churchwardens Mr. Alderman Lawrence and Mr. Council,. for Wagstaff, and several of their friends immediately rose and left the church in an abrupt manner. A portion of the congregation, not aware of the cause of this movement, became alarmed, and something like a cry of ire was raised. The result was, that the entire congregation rushed from the church, and the scene which eusued was more exciting than edifying. A foreign gentleman, who was passing at the time, expressed, in very strong lan guage, his surprise at the scene he had witnessed. Some, thing like a repetition of the scene occurred hi the after noon." The following is the statement of our correspondent "As the versions which have been pubilshed respecting the disgraceful affair in St. Michael's Church contain many important errors, I will trouble you with the following particulars : " It appears that a meeting was summoned by Mr. Carpenter in the Cornwallis-street Schoobroom,soine months back, to which Mr. Morrall was, not invited. In conse quence, sundry propositions, many of a most preposterous and humiliating nature, were ma d e t o Mr. Morrall, to which, however, he promised to give due deliberation ; and certainly at the last meeting, when the churchwardens were present, Mr. Morrall heard all they had to say, and was requested to return an answer at his earliest conveni ence. In fact, the very object of the meeting was to try to come to an arrangement. One proposition was, that Mr. Morrall should leave the church entirely, and receive his stipend at a distance, still. retaining his preferment ; another was, that he should give up the morning and evening services to Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Bardsley, contenting himself with the afternoon duty only, which was virtually excluding him from the church. To none of these propositions did Mr. Morrall feel himself justified in acceding. Notwithstanding this, one Sunday morn ing, on Mr. Morrall coming to church, he found a large placard posted, on which it was intimated that Mr. Morrall's next turn in the evening would be taken by Mr. Bardsley, and the morning and afternoon ser vices (an afternoon service not having been hitherto in use) would be taken by Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Morrall. To this Mr. Morrall very naturally ob i Mr. Morrall's view of the c ase , and ordered the services to r e: t t:, 1u and to their the former Bishop was app led to, who confirmed state, whi c h was d one . Mr. ea Car penter then suggested an extra afternoon service, which Mr. Morrall assented to, on condition of his not being ex cluded from it. A long interval of several weeks elapsed without any further communication from Mr. Carpenter, until on a Saturday morning he was suddenly apprized that notice was to be given on the next day for the Sun day following, and was for the purpose of introducing Mr. Bardsley into the church. This additional service having thus been forced upon Mr. Morrall, he was de sirous of additional help, and secured the services of his friend Mr. Pughe, and hence arose the present state of things. Mr. Bardsley has preached two or three times, going Mr. Pughe has been merely g ai thr ay ou s gehonthreovartersiciresyin. thePrayerßook, proving that Baptismal Regeneration is the plain doctrine of the Church, and those who hold it are true, sincere Church men, and ought not to be stigmatized as Romanizers, Tractarians, &c., epithets which have been most offensively and unmistakeably applied to Mr. Morrall from the pulpit. It may be as well to add, that a great part of the congre gation on Sunday morning were strangers, brought to the church for the express purpose of insulting Mr. Mor rall, and those of the permanent congregation had never been apprised of the true state of the case by Mr. Morrall, who was quite content to leave it to time to clear up mis apprehensions. The above is merely a hasty and imper fect sketch of the proceedings which have taken place, but they are in all respects essentially true. The whole scene on Sunday morning was certainly most disgraceful, be sides being a serious desecration of the house of God. Doors were violently closed, and a perfect up roar occasioned in the sacred building.

And as the Secretary has urged upon me his own request, and that of the committee, that I should say something, I may, perhaps, be permitted to offer a few remarks upon some of the more genqal principlesinvolved in the fact, and, as I think, the Christian duty of a special society having reference to the Jewish people. Our society is a missionary society, and, as such, Makes use of instrti mentalities similar to those employed by other missionary societies—Bibles, Testaments, tracts, preachers, reader; and visitors and schools.

So far well. On this ground alone we might reasonably claim for it cordial attachment and liberal support. (Applause.) But, though truth, this is not the whole truth. Viewed thus, and only thus, we must candidly confess that our society is comparatively trifling, and cal culated to excite a comparatively trifling interest.
