Mr. Walker orcupied the Suzereas, in moving " That this meeting begs to con gratulate Mr. Woodruff , on his elevation to the dignity of alderman, and trusts that he may long live to enjoy the well deserved recognitibirof his valuable services to the town at large and this ward in particular," said they all owed to their old friend Mr. Woodruff, a debt of gratitude to say the very least of him, : and he was sure 'that all parties present, and in fact, every elector and non-elector in Scotland-road Ward would rajoice• atathe, elevation of - that gentleman, who had been displaced a s th e i r member at this present time, placing him in the position he war placed nn. Wednesday last. Mr. \\recall:4ff; frornthefirst moment beset his foot in the Council, , had been a strenuous advocate for the rights of the people,—ho had attended toll* duties in every way. disinterestedly. They had bad .a number of people who assumed a great. deal, and did nothing ; but 711 r.: Woodruff had promised nothing, and bad d one deaL He had •.been returned to the Council on five different occasions, and he thought .they were about to put. a gentl eman in his place who would follow in his foot Steps, and surpass him; if possible. "( Cheers. ) lie was sure that they *mild be necessarily satisfied with the 'ground he had laid out for lylmselfif they performed their ditty; that was ,by returning him' by a very - Large majority.

(Ch, a - fs. ) • the icanaer , • a: ' the last 12 years, he thought he had given complete satisfac tion to all parties, his conduct throughout having been con sistent in every way, and he hoped and trusted that their next representative, -Mr. Aspinall,. would malm_a_ second Mr. Woodruff. The resolution was then put, to the meeting, and carried by acclamation. Mr. 'NoßatAx then read letters from Mr. Thomas Harrison, Mr. J. J..fititt, Mr. William Rathbone, jun., Mr. James Aikin, Mr. William Hair, and Mr. J. P. Heywood, apologising that from unforseen occurrences they could not attend the meeting. The Caman.or then introduced Mr. Aspinall to the meeting. On his rising he was received by tumultuous cheering, and at some length addressed the meeting, repeating his views, which have a)peared in our impression of a previous date. Mr. STEAINS then addressed . the meeting. In the course of a short speech, he said---When the election of alderman fell , . upon their late member (Mr. Woodruff), several parties that were sitting next to him---in fact, it was said unanimously-- that Mr. Aspinall was the man to succeed him. If they did not perceive his worth and value in the Council, those in it did. They had watched his career for some time, and they thought him a man that would be a great deal of good in the Council. It was said that he was young, but they would be astonished If hen he told them that he was between thirty and forty years of age, and was the father of five or six children. (Cheers.) Mr. Jon having briefly addressed the meeting, Mr. J. BronAM said he was told before coming into that room that Mr. Aspinall was going to be opposed by James Thompson. He could assure them that he was not a fit man to represent . them again in the Council, as when he (Mr. Bigham) sat thete he had seen him frequently get up and leave the meeting just before the voting of any question came on. Mr. Krrenru then moved, and Mr. KENNEDY seconded a resolution pledging the meeting to use all legitimate means, and to spare no exertion, to return Mr. Aspinall as their repre sentative in the Town Council: Mr. LAWRENCE having spoken a few words to the meeting, a vote cf thanks was accorded to the chairman, after which it terminated with three cheers for Mr. Aspinall 'LITERATURE. Tun BIOLOW PAPERS By James Russell Lowell. Newly Edited, with a Preface by the Author of "Tom BroWn's Scholl-days." Reprinted, with the Author's sanction, from the Fourth American Edition. London : Triibner. 1859. THIS is a very humorous production. Yankee humour, which it is, has a happy quaintness and raciness about it; and in this little volume these qualities are predo minant. We may give a pretty good idea of the charac ter of these "Papers" by referring to the productions of " Sam Slick," whose style of expression and manner of moralising they very closely imitate. The Number One " Paper" is a very keen practical satire upon war, which is introduced by the following prose, but not prosaic, letter : FROM MR. EZEKIEL BILLOW OF JAALAM TO THE HON. ZPOSEPH T. BUCKINGHAM, EDITOR OF THE BOSTON COURIER, INCLOSING A POEM OF HIS SON, MR. HOSEA BILLOW. Jaylem, june 1846.

EZEKIEL BIGLOW. * Aut insanit, ant versus facit.---H. W. The English editor, in his preface, anticipates an -.objection which may not unreasonably be taken against .the poetical "Papers," by what he calls the " combina tion of broad keen humour with high Christian purpose —the association.of humour and Christianity." But we vdon't think that he - has by any means succeeded in com 'batting such an objection. It lies, for instance, against such expressions as the following : 'T'aint your eppyletts an' feathers Make the thing a grain more right; afullerin your bell-wethers Will excuse . 'ye in His sight; 'Ef you take a sword an' dror it, An' go stick a feller thru, 'Gwv'ment aint to answer for it, God 'll send the bill to you. Now, this is not bad reasoning, and there is a moral in it that may, in certain quarters, convey a good reli ious influence; but there is great irreverence notwith -standing. Mr. Ezekiel Biglow's objections to war are ~quite as forcibly expressed without the introduction of 'religious allusion-8 and gospel paraphrases, as.the follow ing verses testify:— 'Taint by turnin' out to hack folks You're agoin' to git your right, Nor by lookin' down on black folks Coz you 're put upon by wife; Slavery ainto' nary colour, 'Taint the hide that makes it wits, All it keers fer in a feller 'S jest to make him fill its pus. Want to tackle me in, du ye ? I expect you 'll hev to wait; Wen cold lead puts - daylight thru ye You 'll begin to kal'late ; 'Spose tim_erows wun't fall to pickin' All the carkiss from your bones, Coz you helped to give a Hokin' To them poor half-Spanish drones? Jest go home an' ask our Nancy Whether I'd be sech a goose. Ez to jine ye,---guess you'd fancy The etarnal bung wuz loose! She wants me fer home consumption:, Let alone the hay's to mow,— Ef you 're arter folks o' gumption, You 've a darned long row to hoe. Take them editors thet 's Like a cockerel three months old,--- Don't ketch any on 'em goin', Thongh they be so blasted bold; Aint they a prime set o' fellers? 'Fore they think ou't they will sprout (Like a peach thet's got the yellers), With the meanness bustin' out. Wal, go 'long to help 'em stealin' Bigger pens to cram with slaves, Help the men thet's oilers dealin' Insults'on your fathers' graves; Help the strong to grind the feebe, Help the many agin the few, Help the men thet call your people Whitewashed slaves an'.peddlin' crew ! These brief extracts.will give some idea of the quality of these "Biglow Papers," and. of their character as moralising invectives against some of the more notable evils of the time. We could quote other examples, perhaps more striking, and upon equally salient topics, but our space forbids. Wo can only add the expression of our favourable opinion of these "Papers," as c l ewr philippics upon some of the more prevalent follies of the world, and as instances of broad humour which cannot but tell upon the popular mind.

Before leaving Berlin for London, his Royal Highness Prince Frederick William addressed the following letter to the • chief magistrate of the city :---" I have to express my regret to the Magistrates of the capital, that the princess, my wife, as well as myself, is pz everted from assisting at the fete which is to be given at Berlin in honour of the 100th anni versary of the birth of Schiller. However, the day upon which the Prince of Wales attains his 18th year, at the cele bration of which we hare for a long time promised to be present, calls us to England, where we shall be witnesses of the distinguished manner in which they will celebrate the memory of the great German poet, and we shall participate in spirit in the commemorative fete which will be given in Prussia.-.-(Signed) FREDERICK WILLIAM, Prince of Prussia. = Berlin,' Nov. 6, 1819." ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. Mr. W. T. Mason, B. A., has been appointed principal a the Church of England Institution, Bolton-le-.Moors. The Lord Bishop of Ripon has appointed the Rev. James Atlay, D.D., Rural Dean of the Rural Deanery of Leeds, and the Rev. Thomas Edward Morris, Rural Dean of the Rural Deanery of Skipton. The committee appointed to distribute the Bishop Longley Endowment Fund met on Monday, and made a grant of £3OO to each of the following places, towards the increase of endow ments, provided that adequate local efforts were made to meet each grant before the Ist February next, viz::---Barkisland, Christ Church (Leeds), Greeuhow Hill, Shepley, Embsay, Clayton, Gawber, St. Luke's, (Leeds), Boroughbridge, Mount Pellon, Moor Allerton, Dacre, Easby, Burley-in-Otley. The Very Rev. the Dean of St. Asaph was installed on Sun day last, by the Venerable Archdeacon Wickham, one of the canons of the Cathedral and a - member of the Charter, in the presence of the Chapter and other clergy of the diocese. The amount of subscriptions already received by the Dean and Chapter of Bristol Cathedral, in answer to their appeal for public assistance towards providing better accommodation for the public in the Cathedral, amounts to £2,036. . . The interior of St. Paul's Cathedral is now undergoing an elaborate and costly process of embellishment, preparatory to the resumption of the special Sunday evening services in the ensuing month, but intended also as an instalment of the per manent adornment of the fabric in accordance with the origi nal views of Sir Christopher Wren. The Collegiate and Parochial Church of St. Peter, at Ruthin, Denbigshire, after having been closed for eighteen months, and restored at a cost of £3,000, has just been re-opened. The occasion was celebrated by special services and sermons com mencing, on All Saints' Day, the Ist of November, and termi nating on the evening of Sunday the 6th. The late Rev. Frederic S. Bevan, rector of Carleton Rode, Norfolk, has left a variety of religious and benevolent societies legacies, to the amount of £8,400. -- This-emu, however, repre sents very inadequately the long-sustained liberality of Mr. Bevan during his lifetime. Thus to the Church Missionary Society alone he presented, at various times, sums amoun'ing in the aggregate to £12,000. The Bishop of Ely will hold an ordination to-morrow, and the Bishop of Bangor on Sunday, the 27th. The Christmas ordina tions will be held on Sunday, December 18, by the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of London, Winchester, Rochester,' Peterborough, Chichester, Lichfield, Oxford, Hereford, Lin coln, Bath and Wells, Carlisle, Gloucester and Bristol, and Norwich. The latter right rev. prelate announces that he will hold an ordination for the future in each Ember week. At a meeting, consisting of Clergy and laymen, held on Monday, at Cambridge ; it was resolved that the persons pre sent form themselves iuto a " Church Defence Association." And also that the objects of the association should be : 1. The circulation, by means of pamphlets and newspaper articles, of information respecting the position, rights, and claims of the Church. 2. The furnishing replies to all attacks made upon the Church, and especially those of the Soeicty • for the Liberation of Religion from State Control. 3. The presentation of petitions to Parliament in all cases when such a course should seem desirable. The Synod of the College of Bishops of the Scottish Episco pal Church met on Wednesday, in Edinburgh, and gave Judg ment in the case of the Rev. P. Cheyne, of Aberdeen, whose extreme opinions, and the measures taken by the Bishop of Aberdeen thereupon, have for some time attracted the attention of churchmen. Each bishop delivered his opinion at con siderable length ; and a judgment was then read, in which the Synod repealed the appeals against the judgments of the Bishop of Aberdeen. Before delivering sentence, however, the Synod called upon Mr. Cheyne to state whether or not he was willing to submit to the sentence of suspension of the sth August, 1858, upon the understanding that he was thereby prohibited from the exercise of every clerical function in the dinese of Aber deen, and also to express his regret for certain of his published expressions, and his rouest that these expressiiona might be cancelled and withdrawn. Mr. Cheyne having declined to accept the prescribed form of retraction and apology, the - Synod affirmed the sentence of the Bishop of Aberdeen, and also publicly declared Mr. Cheyne nolonger a clergyman of the Episcopal Church of Scotland, "reseiving to him to apply for restoration, upon giving evidence of a sincere repentance, in the manner authorised by the 41st of the Canons." On Sunday afternoon last, the evening service of the Angli can Liturgy was celebrated in the French language, for the first tune in Paris, at the church of the Rev. Archer Gurney, in the Rue de la Madeleine. A short discoUrse, also in French, was delivered by the incumbent to a mixed congregation. The Rev. Dr. Forbes, who some ten years since relinquished his charge of St. Luke's Church, New York, and became a Roman Catholic priest, and who since his conversion has li.:(51 charge of St. Anne's Church, which he was largely instru mental in building up, has now announced his M ithdrawal from that communion. sgorting LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING. The support which this meeting has received during the last three days ? fully proves that the "national pastime " has not lost anything of its nationality. The weather was the only drawback to a larger attendance. Every stable was taken, and Mr. Topham may congratulate himself on the success of the meeting, for he has left no stone unturned to make it popular ; and, if the same amount of liberality be displayed in future meetings, Liverpool " must look up."
