GEORGE WM. BISCHOFF, Distributor. PROPOSED CHURCH IN LIVERPOOL FOR AILY PRAYERS, WEEKLY COMMUNION, AND THE D CELEBRATION OF ALL THE OFFICES OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. The want of such a place of Worship, in , a convenient lo cality, is deeply felt by many of the InhabitantsofLiverpool ; a Church, in-which nothing shall be omitted which may tend to the decency devotion, and solemnity of the Anglican Worship; and in which a good Choral Service may be corn bined with a hearty congregational response; a Church, in which kneeling accommodation, and not the number of sit tings, shall be considered of the first importance; and in which the poor shall have equal rights with - the rich. It is proposed to build a Churn, architecturally coned, 'without galleries or enclosed pews, and free to all corners ; the requi site expenses to be defrayed by the weekly 'Offertory, and such Endowment as may be provided for perpetuating ser vices strictly in accordance with the doctrine and - discipline of the Church of 'England. £2,800 have already been - subscribed, and in part paid by a hundred and thirty contributors, of whom thirty-two are Clergymen. A list of these will, on application, be furnished to any one interested in the project; and the Committee earnestly solicit donations from all classes, under the wrsua sion that, in this large and wealthy community. there cannot be wanting a sufficient number of sound Churchmen to en sure success to such an undertakinrr.

A crisis in the a ff a i rs of the Society renders it imperative that a decisive eff or t s h ould at once be made to enlarge its resources. The recent uni on with the latsit SOCIETY OF LONDON has,greatly increased its field of labour in Ireland. The responsibtlity of maintaining several additional Missions has fallen on tLe Society. The representations so often made, of the augmented resources which were to be expected in the event of the union taking place, have not as yet been rea lized, and without a very considerable and immediate addi tion to the finances, the Committee will be under the painful alternative of having to consider in what quarter to curtail operations. Meanwhile the reports from every part of the Missionary field evidence the necessity for continuous and increasing effort, and the extent of the success which, through God's blessing, may be expected. The Committee, in prayerful dependence .on Him to whom belongs the silver and the gold, earnestly call upon those who sympathise in the Reformation movement to rally in its be half at this critical period of the Society's urgent need. Annual Subscriptions and Donations to the Society for Irish Church Missions to the Roman Catholics will be received at the Office of the Society, Marlborough Chambers, 49, Pall Mall ; or by the Treasurer, Sir Jon N DEAN PAUL, Bart., at Messrs.

ST. HELENS RAILWAY ComrANY,—A special meeting of the shareholders in this railway was held yesterday, at St. Helens, for the purpose of sanctioning the conversion of the different classes of shares into stock, in accordance with the provisions of an act of parliament recently ob tained. There was a very limited number of shareholders present, and the proceedings were of a strictly formal cha racter. Mr. Gilbert Greenall, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, presided. A resolution for the conver sion of the different shares into stock, pursuant to the act, was proposed and carried without discussion, and the pro ceedings terminated. ALLEGED LAWLESS OUTRAGE, IN GASCOIGNE-STREET. —At the close of the proceedings in the Police Court, yesterday, a labouring man residing in Gascoigne-street, made an application to Mr. Mansfield for warrants against several persons whom he named, for a violent assault committed upon him on Sunday evening, under the fol lowing circumstances. The personal appearance of the complainant gave unmistakeable evidence of the brutal treatment he had received. His head was bound up, and his face dreadfully cut, his shirt and a considerable por tion of his wearing apparel were covered with blood. The complainant stated that when he went home to his house in Gascoigne-street, on Sunday evening, he found it occu pied by a number of men who reside in the street. They were creating a great disturbance, and when he made his appearance at the doo r , some one called out, " There he is !" on which several o f th em rushed at him with a poker, tongs, and other weapons in their hands, and made a violent attack upon his person, and he was obliged to make his escape, c ons id er i ng that his lif e was in danger. There were four policemen i n th e neighbourhoo d , and on being assaulted by the men i n the house, the complainant claimed the protection of the police, and gave his assail ants in charge, but the police refused to take the men into custody, and told complainant that if he did not go away they would lock him up. Mr. Mansfield inquired of the complainant if he knew the names of the men. When he replied, that he did know the names of several of them, and that they were a nuisance to the neighbourhood, being well known as professed thieves. After a conver sation with Mr. Clough, the in-door superintendent of the police, the magistrate directed that gentleman to make a full inquiry into all the circumstances of the case, includ ing the alleged negligence of the officers on duty, and the further investigation of the affair way adjourned AT a week.

Our laws are ostensibly emanations from the wisdom of Parliament, but they are in reality the effects of the pressure from without ; so that we are no longer governed by the intelligence of the few, but by the active will of the many, operating in public meet ings and in election contests, and influencing the proceedings of the responsible advisers of the laown. A CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQLTER is Ipresumed to prepare his Financial Statement with special reference to the exigencies of the State, the peculiar pressure of the public burdens, and the most advisable means of affording relief. Such is the presumption, but, in reality, he is guided more by the energy with which particular interests claim exemptions in their own favour, and their respective bearings -upon the strength of political parties, irrespective of justice and equity. At one time, there is a clamour for the repeal of the Window Duty, and Ministerial subserviency makes the concession; at another time, the popular feeling runs in favour of cheap sugar or cheap tea, and forthwith the ,demand is gratified, although it involves the necessity of imposing fresh burdens upon some other class of the community possessing less parliamentary influence. The Reform Bill was carried, not by the intelligence of our senators, but from popular agitation. 'Success emboldened con stant resort to the tame means, and almost every subsequent =measure of any importance was owing to the same influence. When Sir JAMBS GRAHAM, as a Conservative Minister, introduced a Bill to secure .a more general system of education in the principles of the Church, he gave it •up because the Dissenters entered into an active agitation against it, and the same mode of expressing what is called public opinion has heen permitted to supersede the functions and influence the decisions of Parliament in every great question which, during the last has formed the theme of popular dis- twenty years cussion. To the credit of the late Sir ROBERT PEEL, however, it may be said that he was less guided 'by these extraneous movements than any Minister of modern days, and particularly iso in his financial schemes, having imposed the Income-tax, and repealed the Auction and Glass Duties, without the slightest pressure from without being brought to bear on either subject. In the agitation to •effect what is popularly known as Free-trade, the prime movers had a more difficult task than ordinary ; for not only was there a large majority against the scheme in both Houses of Parliament, but the people themselves, upon whom the agitators depended for their strength, were either opposed to it or lukewarm. They did not, however, despair. They met few in number at first, subscribed thousands to pay the necessary expenses, hired lecturers to advocate the cause in 1 public asseniblies r offered prizes for essays in elucida tion of the subject, and deluged the country with pamphlets and writings in order to arouse the populace into a general clamour for cheap bread. The result is -too familiar to need reiteration. It was a striking instance of energy and determina tion on tlce one hand, and credulity on the other, rendered successful by 'Ministerial treachery, and resulting in great distress, and a destruction of all confidence in the honour and honesty of public men. It was a repetition .of the treachery with which the Protestant cause was betrayed by the Emancipation Bill in 1829, and its consequence was similar in the defeat and discomfiture of the Mini ster who perpetrated it. It might, however, serve as a useful lesson to those who still adhere to Conservative principles. If the Free-traders could make such sacrifices, and display such energetic perseverance, in order to carry out a mere political theory in our commercial system, what should not those do who aim at being Conservative leaders, in order to maintain and pre- serve those institutions of the country for which they profess so much veneration P It is of vital importance to the welfare of the State, that Con- Iservative principles should be in the ascendant in the Legislature ; and yet, notwithstanding the mighty interests at stake, little or nothing is done to accomplish such an object. In election con tests we find all shades of Radicalism uniting to further their own views, while Conservatives are almost unaided in their efforts, and even opposed by those who should be with them. Men loud in their professions of zeal for Protestantism are found swelling the ranks of Radicals who have in variably favoured the designs of Romanists, and representatives returned by Conservative electors are found supporting a Radical Ministry. The Free-traders left no means untried which could contribute to their success, The Conservatives have hardly made an effort, except attention in some constituencies to the Registration and an oc casional contest at the hustings. The Free-traders lavishly supported the Radical Press which favoured their views ; the Conservatives have left the Conservative Press to fight their battles with out any other aid than the consciousness of the justice of their cause, and the conviction that virtue is its own reward. The Free-traders handsomely rewarded every writer who advocated their cause, and circulated essays and pamphlets on the subject in almost limitless profusion ; the Conservatives, in this respect, have done literally nothing, and the unthinking public are left at the . _ mercy of their self-elected instructors. The -Free traders held public meetings _in every _town _ throughout the kingdom, and in lectures and ora- tions impressed their specious doctrines upon th, minds o.? their hearers; the Conservatives, in this respect also, have done nothing, notwithstanding the magnificence of their cause. What, then, is the obvious duty of those who, from station, influence, and the possession of wealth, should be in the position of popular leaders, justice.

The cause is one which must commend itself to every honest mind,, and we entertain so high an opinion of the honesty and intelligence of our countrymen generally, as to feel convinced that the large majority would be Conservative, if the danger and folly of Radicalism were once made clear to their under- standings THE EXPERIMENT IS CERTAINLY ING CONSERVATIVES OF LIVERPOOL TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE IN A MOVEMENT TO WHICH THEY ARE CERTAIN OF MEETING WITH A HEARTY I ESPONS IT would be almost as tedious as a thrice told tale, to recount the numerous blasphemous absurdi ties by which Rome practices on superstition and credulity. They are so utterly beyond the wildest flights of ordinary imagination, that they would be incredible, were it not for the mostpalpable evidence of their perpetration ; and they would provoke ridicule by their ludicrous and childish absurdity, were it not for their awful profanity. The story of the VIRGIN MARY appearing to two miserable children at La Salette, near Grenoble, was so utterly contemptible, that a belief in it by person outside a Lunatic Asylum would be al beyond possibility ; but it has been adopted by the head of the Church of Rome, and now serves to show the utter prostration of intellect to which the dupes of that imposture are reduced. A document has been published, purporting to bear the signa ture of WILLIAM BERNARD, Bishop of Birmingham, and professing to establish an association at a pre tended chapel of Notre Dame de la Salette, at Stratford-upon-Avon, under the title of " Our Lady of Reconciliation of La Salette," offering indul- gences, forgiveness of sins, and release from pur gatory as rewards for its support. Here, in the first place, is a direct violation of the Ecclesiastical Titles Prevention Act, which our craven Ministers have not the courage to vindicate ; and, in the next place, is a blasphemous assumption of Divine powers, founded upon a contemptible figment which is self-evident as a gross imposture. When a claim is made for religious liberty by such wretched dupes as will receive this barefaced delusion, it ought rather to be a consideration whether they should be entitled to freedom from restraint. It is customary, in cases of mental hallucination, to issue a Commission de Lunatico I 1- ~,.,1 .nquirenc o, in order I sli that those afflicted with such a grievous complaint may have their persons and property placed in safe custody ; but it would be difficult to find an inmate of any Lunatic -Asylum who is subject to more melancholy aberrations of intellect than the believers in this wretched imposture of our Lady of La Salette. THE protracted dispute between Russia and Turkey, of which the excitement had long since been worn out, has received a new impetus within the last few days, owing to the positive refusal of the EMPEROR of Russii to accept the modifications proposed by Turkey in the note agreed to by the Conference at Vienna. This refusal is based on the intelligible ground that the question having been submitted to arbitration, and he having , consented to aeePut ti d, .cce, ie aware, justified in refusing to accede to alterations pro posed by the other principal in the affair Russia has so far acted in an evident spirit of justice, whatever may be her ulterior designs ; but the refusal of Turkey to accept the note, as proposed by the Conference, has rendered the question far more difficult of settlement, inasmuch as it would be impossible to show Russia to be the aggressor, the occupation of the Danubian provinces having been condoned by the consent to mediate for their evacuation. In estimating the position which England ought to assume, in the event of a resort to hostilities, much erroneous opinion exists in this country, owing to the difficulty of understanding the exact cause of quarrel, and the manner in which the subject has been overlaid by the many extraneous circumstances which have been imported into it, and the numerous conflicting reports which have been published. We shall, therefore, give a brief recapitulation of the leading facts, so that our readers may be able to form something like a correct opinion on the question at issue, which even now threatens to involve the East of Europe in war, with the probability of extending it to the West. The relics of Christianity in Palestine, comprising the alleged sepulchre of OUR SAVIOUR, and fami liarly known as the Holy Places, are in the dominions of the SULTAN of TURKEY, but are in the possession of members of the Greek Church, to whom the custody was guaranteed by treaties between Russia and Turkey—the Latin Monks, who claimed an interest in the relics, being allowed a subordinate position, in having the keys of one of the shrines. Last year, when Louis NAPOLEON was preparing for his assumption of the title of Emperor of France, he was solicitous to gain the especial favour of Pops Pius IX., in order to obtain his personal assistance at his coronation. He, therefore, assumed the empty title of Protector of the Holy Places ; and, to give a colour of pre tence to his claim, despatched the MARQUIS of LANALETTE to Constantinople, to cajole the SULTAN Out of a concession to the Latin Monks in Jeru salem. The SULTAN, as a Mohammedan, thought little, and cared less, as to who had the keys of the sepulchre, for which he himself had not the slightest reverence ; and, being willing to oblige his brother of France in such a seeming trifle, con ceded the finnan, by which the Latin Monks were allowed equal privileges with the Greeks.
