The dis course was the Scriptural history of Mary, with minute reference to her supernatural conception, concluding with an attempt to refute the dogmas of her " Immaculate Conception," and her " continual virginity," Admitting that they were handled in as delicate a manner as they possibly could be, yet, I think, all right-minded people will condemn any attempt to bring such topics before a promiscuous audience, the majority of whom were ladies. Jam not naturally fas tidious, but, I must confess, that more than once during the discourse I felt a blush rising upon my cheek. I leave you to conjecture what may have been the feelings of the fathers and mothers who were present with their youthful families. Many of the audience were female domestics. What benefit the preacher supposed they would obtain from such a discourse, I cannot conceive. A few words upon the simple truths of the Gospel, and the duties of all the hearers, would have been of advantage, whereas what was given was the reverse. bail? -- -1 The prisc. uuu .onejohr mate, John .town t totally you do with a namely, a pen us have the belie May 30th, 1859 SPOR,TING INTELLIGEXCI EPSOM -TUESDAY LATEST BETTING THE DERBY.-3 to 1 agst Trumpeter (taken freely) ; 100 to 30 agst Promised Lane(off) ; 4 to 1 agst Musjid, (t); 25 to 1 asst Phantom (t) ; 25 to 1 agst Gamester (off).; 30 to 1 agst Marionette (t) ; 40 to 1 agst Defender (t); 50 to 1 agst Reyuard (t).

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET-MAY 31 There was a small attendance of buyers at our Corn Exchange this morning, and in consequence of the dull accounts from some of the leading markets, and the improved character of the weather, more disposition was evinced by holders to meet the views of the trade, notwithstanding sales of wheat proceeded slowly at a decline of 2d per cental from the currency of this day se'nnight. Flour was more freely offered, and declined 6d to 9d per cental, without leading to much business In reference to barley, beans, or peas, the transactions were of the merest retail description, and their value is nominally a trifle lower. Oats were exceedingly difficult of sale, and fully 2d per cental cheaper ; and oatmeal likewise declined 6d per cental from the currency of Tuesday last. Indian corn participated in the general dulness, and was offered 3d lower, without leading to business. R. Al.tailN & SONS.
