TO CORRESPONDENTS. Tn, . in our notice, last week, of the discharge of the in th. Albert I , a:chooses, her owner, Mr. Simpson. gave her registered tonnage at 400, instead o f 435. She dis charged 509 tons into the warehouses. Tux SALTHOI7+E AS AN EXPORT DOCK.—A. correspondent, who suggests the use of this dock for an i export dock, in con nexion with the Albert warehouses, s informed that such bas all along been the intention of the Dock Committee, and indeed is the natural mode of employing to the best effect these two adjoining properties. At the present momen t t h e Paragon. recently discharged in the Albert Dock, is loading at the north-west corner of Sallhouse; and a week ago, we saw a cargo of 3,00 bags of sugar marehouseing in the Albert warehouses/roll/ the Salthouse, no doubt because the importer calculated upon its deposit th ere b e i ng more con venient than in a warehouse in any other locality. We cannot answer the question put by" A Subscriber," but he way obtain the information, in all probability, at any of the insurance offices. Flad we received his letter a little earlier we would have made some inquiry for him. We would advise " G. L. D." immediately to consulta respectable attorney. Many of that class would most gladly forward his views. In Mr. Simpson's letter, in our last, the tonnage of the ship Paragon, discharged at the Albert Dock, was given at 435 tons—which is, in point of fact, the registered amount, but she will carry a third mote than that; and it is no more than justice to say that 58g tons were discharged in that el•ck from the ship in question, and she was completely cleared in 38 hours. We cannot comply with the wishes of" A Convert." Surely, there is nothing may in claiming a high preeminence for the word of God, in the education of the young. Luther—even betore his mind was entirely tree from the errors of Popery— made the same claim as is advanced by us now. In the course of an address on Romish superstitions, he says, " I am much afraid that the universities will prove to be the great gates of hell, unless they diligently labour in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engravin g them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not un ceasingly occupied with the word of God most become cor rnpt." These are noble words, and deserve as weighty con. sideration now as they did three centuries ago, when first written. EbtErpool gPtanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 6, 1846. We are quite happy to meet our contemporary, the Albion, again upon the subject of the dock re venue of the port. The more such questions are discussed, the more likely is the truth respecting them to be elicited, and the community at large to be put in possession of the facts and figures required to render them proof against the sneers and mis statements with which their ears are continually being assailed. We showed in our last, from the published "general statement" of the accounts of the dock estate, that the bonded debt had increased up to the 24th June, 1846, by a nett sum of £308,198 13s, The Committee, however, had paid for new works, to their bankers, and for extra materials on hand £3g1,129 7s. Bd., being £82,930 14s. Bd. surplus paid out of the current receipts of the year. A simpler mode of stating the case there could not well be. If a merchant is £2,000 better this year, after paying all the expenses of his establishment :Ind his living, that sum is his surplus earnings. The correctness of the principle the Albion does not dispute, although he appears to think it is not abstruse, or " arithmetical" enough, for his tastes. We give, however, his comment upon it, in which he finds one error in the detail. He says— " Nothing can show the necessity of the Dock Com mittee keeping separate accounts for the expenditure on their old and new works . than such a statement as the foregoing. Here we Lave the cost of the river wall central works' carried off as expenditure on new works, whereas it is merely a replacement of the old. The ma terial is certainly new, but it is as much a part of the yearly disbursements of the Dock Estate as clearing out the mud, and ought to be charged against the annual revenue. The carrying off to capital account the current disbursements of the year, is a very convenient way of making a large surplus revenue, but like all such ingenious plans of mystifying facts,' must, sooner or later, come to an end." _ _ Had the Dock Committee adopted our contem porary's plan of "keeping separate accounts for the expenditure on their old and new works," the balance, showing the amount of surplus earnings carried to the payment of the general expenditure of the estate, would have stood almost as we have stated it in our last. The "river wall central works," moreover, would certainly have been put down as new works. They are not merely " a replacement of old works," but are works undertaken by the Dock Committee which, so far from being "as much yearly disbursements as dealing out the mud," .have• actually to be paid for ultimately by another body—the Corporation—for the improvement of whose property (the tobacco warehouse, &c.) they have been undertaken, at - the especial request of the Corporation. We leave our contemporary to get rid of this "fact." The Albion proceeds to give his notion of the mode in which the surplus revenue of an estate should be shown : " Surplus revenue we take to be the balance of the current receipts over the current expenditure, and the introduction of items of stock and banking accounts only complicate any statement from whiCh such surplus is evolved"—: and proceeds to draw out a statement after his own favorite pattern, in which, dismissing "items of stock and banking accounts," as unworthy of his consideration, and setting down the £19,478. 17s sd. paid for " river wall central works " as current and ordinary expenditure, he reduces the surplus earn ings of the estate to the sum of £38,002 Bs. 7d. This is really a comical way of managing matters ; and to show its absurdity we must give the pattern account itself— The Liverpool Dock Trust Account for the year ending 24th June, 1846 Dr. EXPENDITURE.

We owe more to our creditor—the public—than we did last year : we say to him, we have so much work executed with the money, and an increased amount of mate• rials on hand. So with the banker's balance. We owe more to the bondholder, but we have lessened our banker's debt £13,419 16s. 7d. Add these items, omitted or placed on the wrong side of the account, to the Albion's surplus, and they will make the amount greater than we have shown. The truth is, and we must tell our contemporary plainly, that the principle of his statement, as an account shewing " the Dock Trust account for the year ending 24th June, 1846," is incorrect and utterly absurd, and must necessarily be so in any account where all mention of the bonded debt, the banker's account, and the " materials account" is omitted. For instance, he says the trustees have paid interest on bond debt £98,000 odd. He omits all mention, however, of the fact that they have also paid off dock bonds to the amount of £16,125. To which side of the account would he carry this item ? Manifestly, it ought to be somewhere ; and if, in accordance with his apparent principle, he places it, with the interest paid, on the debit side, it will reduce the " balance being surplus revenue,"—the first time that ever we saw so satisfactory a result in the affairs of an individual, or a public body, as a repayment of borrowed capital, shewn as evidence of depreciated solvency. To settle this matter, how ever, will he tell us how he manages to account for his own figures ? He says that all that he can fairly charge to disbursements for new works is £337,386 14s. 11d. Well, the nett increase of bond debt per account published, is .... £308,198 13 0 Balance to be made up out of surplus 29,188 1 11 £337,336 14 11 There remains, therefore, only £8,814 6s.

Bd.r-all that the trustees ought to have left—how have they man aged to pay Ist—To Bankers £13,419 16 7 2d—For Materials extra., 14,732 12 7 In all .............. £26,152 9 2? We pause for a reply : The statement which we h ave already made, as to the real increased or surplus revenue of the Dock Estate, is substantially corr ect. Had we had any idea of exaggerating it, we might have fairly ap. propriated to our side of the account many items which have swelled the surplus very considerably. We suppose, for instance, that something over £600,000 hr.s been expended upon the Albert Dock and works, in addition to the cost of land for the new North works, and the expenditure upon them. These amounts are included in the present bonded debt; and the interest upon them, amounting to between £30,000 and £40,000, has a perfect right to he deducted from the £98,000, with which the Albion debits the Trustees as for the current expendi ture of the existing estate. We have, therefore, understated rather than overstated our case. The concluding portion of the Albion's remarks we need not notice. From the first proposition of the Free Trade measures of Sir Robert Peel and his late colleagues, we contended that thtir effect would be, at first, to impel the population of the colonies of Great Britain to ask the question, " Of what value to us is our connection with the parent country ?"—and to pave the way gradually to ultimate separation. Our anticipations have been realised even more rapidly than we dreamt of. A document is before us con taining the views of the Chamber of Commerce of Toronto, Upper Canada, which shows that public opinion, in that colony at least, is setting in precisely the direction which we pointed to, and enforcing those views by reasoning, the justice of which it will take far more than ordinary ingenuity to impeach. The colonists of Upper Canada say, by this docu ment, to the imperial legislature, "You have thrown us upon our own resources to compete with the industry of the rest of the world ; you have stript our agriculture of every rag of protection hitherto afforded to it in your markets: you must now, in common fairness, release us from those restrictions to which we have submitted as the price of your favours and from our sympathy with the industrious population of the country of our birth." In the first place, they point to the duty of 3s. per quarter imposed, in connection with the Canada Corn Bill, upon American wheat crossing the frontier, and demand its repeal, as operating, under the present relations of that colony with the mother country, to prevent the grain of the western states of America finding its way through Canada for shipment. It is not easy to see what plea we can advance against this reasonable demand. The Canadians say again that the discriminating duties, imposed upon foreign produce and manufac tures imported into Canada, should be abolished, and the population of that colony be permitted to resort to the cheapest markets for their supplies; that the cottops, the linens, the woollens, the hard ware, and other productions of Great Britain, and the sugar, coffee, &c., of her colonies, should no longer be protected by duties against the foreign article ranging from 5 to 25 per cent. They are themselves called upon to submit to the operation of the Free Trade dogmas, as applied to their supply of produce for the British markets : they ask for its application to their own commercial relations with foreign countries. There is assuredly reason in their demand, as every consistent Free Trader will acknowledge. The existing imperial tariff of Canada cannot he maintained without a sacrifice of principle by a Free Trade legislature. The most important demand of the colonists, however, is the removal of the restrictions imposed upon their foreign commerce by our navigation laws. If they have to send a cargo of staves or lumber to the West Indies, it is not just, they say, to compel them to employ British shipping exclu sively for its transport. If they wish to import a cargo of sugar from the West Indies, they ask why they should be compelled to seek out a British vessel to bring it, whilst, perhaps, a dozen foreign bottoms are on the spot ready to accept much lower freight. They say—Do not compel us to send the entire traffic of the St. Lawrence in British ship ping, whilst the farmers and merchants of the United States can get their business to England, or elsewhere, done for half rates. Are the shipowners of this conntry prepared for the relaxation, or entire removal, of the protection which these laws have afforded them ? We suspect not ; and yet it is difficult to defend their retention under a system of Free Trade. It is, indeed, almost matter of certainty that we cannot much longer refuse concession to any of these demands of our Canadian brethren. The colonies themselves, embarked by the act of the British legislature in the race of competition with other countries, must have their hands unbound, to enable them to pass through the ordeal. Let us see, then, what will become our mutual position when our policy shall have been fully carried out. Commercially they then cease to be the children of Great Britain. They no longer favor British in dustry. We no longer favor theirs. Where, then, is the bond of connexion ? The tie of blood re mains, indeed ; and that is all. We may continue for awhile to protect them against foreign aggression, or they may continue to take part in our conflicts with neighbouring powers. But will not those co lonies, when embroiled by their sympathy with us for other countries, begin to ask—why submit to have our commerce interrupted, our frontiers attacked, and the means and the industry of our own population wasted in a quarrel in which we have neither reasonable part or interest ? Un doubtedly they will ; and Great Britain herself, should she even he precipitated into a war in de fence of Canada, for instance, or e - . en called upon to vote supplies for her local government, will be justi fied in asking—where is her interest in such a quarrel that she should derange for it her commercial re lations with the rest of the world ? We expect to hear these questions asked; and, whenever they are pressed, the integrity of our colonial empire may be regarded as doomed to destruction. The subject is a serious one, and well worthy of the earnest consideration of the statesman. We have had for years past in these noble colonies the most valuable markets for the productions of native industry. In proportion to their population, they consume more than any other countries. 'We see year by year the surplus labour of Great Britain betaking itself to till their fertile vallies and rich prairies—to hew down their vast forests, and to carry the arts of civilised life, and its busy industry, to their solitudes. Yet these seedlings of tributary nations we are sacrificing to an insane dream—a bubble, which is already bursting in our grasp. The beauty of our common law consists in its clear, though, perhaps, somewhat oblique, applica tion to our social necessities. When we first hear the law propounded on any particular point, we are often inclined to laugh at it, as absurd. But, some how, it happens that, after trying how it applies to other similar cases, after arriving at the principle on which it is based, we find that it contains more com mon sense and justice than we, in our hasty wisdom had imagined. We find that it best meets the ma jority of cases : that however it looks, at all events, it works well. And why is this ? Simply, because it is founded .on experience. Such a law was found to be neces sary, before it was enacted. The case is similar with regard to many old church principles and customs. Our individual experience, of twenty, forty, or three score years, does not show us all their utility. But the some what longer experience of the church's life has taught her their necessity and value. These views make us rejoice at the attempt which is now being made to restore a principle of public worship, that churches should be free—as open to the poor as to the rich—that all money-changing and " respect of persons" should be kept as far as possible out of the sacred precincts. And this rule, we submit, is not more a result of the church's experience than the very principle on which Christian worship first set out. We are fond of drawing our church models from scripture. What, then, must have been the practice, the inno vation upon which St. James so strongly condemns ? " If there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man with vile raiment, and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor, stand thou there, or sit thou here under my footstool, are ye not then partial in yourselves, and become judges of evil thoughts ?" What was this but the beginning of that exclusive system which we have now so deeply to deplore,— the first breaking out of that human pride in religi ous worship which broke out again so strongly some three centuries ago ? We can happily go one step further in this argu ment, and say that the experiment has been tried. Churches have recently been built upon this revived principle, and have been found to answer beyond the most sanguine expectations. The poor have been found willing to come to churches when no sense of their own inferiority is thrust upon them. And if a prejudice on either side has to be given up, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. before the rich and poor can effectually meet to gether again in the House of God, who can say that the sacrifice, and the good example, should not be gin with the better instructed party. It has been proposed to build four churches upon this entirely free principle within the town of Liver pool,—that the poor, in the first instance, may have their place within the House of God, and that then whoever will, of whatever other rank, may come and take their place beside them. The cost of this scheme is estimated at about £20 : 000. Of this sum we understand something more than £lO,OOO have been raised. Now that the subscription has reached this amount, we should like to see a completer list than we have yet chanced to meet with of the subscri imrs, with their respective contributions. We shall be samewhat curious, we confess, to see that document. Having lately seen names down for large sums to the Cobden testimonial, which we have not been much accustomed to see upon giving lists before, we feel curious to know how such persons' religious sincerity rates with their political. We should like to know what form thousands and hundreds on the one list assume upon the other. We hope that the committee will gratify this curiosity of ours, as well as supply to the town at large, the more laudable gratification of knowing who are its real well wishers and benefactors, who come forward first, and with a liberality best proportioned to their means, to relieve their fellow-creatures under that only want where no demand ever stimulates supply. The condition of Ireland becomes, day by day, more distressing ; and the remedy, to which the legislature hastily resorted, appears but too likely to produce still more extended evils and suffering in time to come. The agriculturists and the peasantry of that wretchedly mismanaged country are de prived, by the dispensation of Providence, of a large portion of that crop upon which they have been accustomed to depend for subsistence. Has this event never occurred before ? Undoubtedly it has. Ireland has had periodical visitations of famine for the last hundred years. Again and again e charity of Great Britain has had to be appealed to, as the only available resource to snatch the population of entire districts from the horrors of starvation, and its concomitants—disease and death. Yet the tem porary emergency over, all classes of her population, from the landlord to the poorest peasant, hare gone on as before; never thinking of preparation for a return of the visitation—depending solely upon their crop of potatoes, or, in case of failure of that crop, upon the extorted generosity of the more affluent of their own countrymen, and the sympathy of the British people. And now we have the same circumstances, and the same temporary remedy re sorted to, but upon a larger scale. We are called upon now to contribute to the support, not of a district, but almost of an entire people, whom we are thus teaching improvidence, and neglect of the duty of striving to become self-dependant. It is not a fact, we are assured by numerous au thorities upon the spot, that the whole, or any large portion, of those who have taken part in the recent disorderly outbreaks, which will he found recorded in our columns—the robbery of bakers' and pro vision shops, and the threats of violence levelled against landlords and magistrates—are in a state of absolute want, or even very materially worse in their condition than in ordinary years. We have made a political stalking horse, however, of this alleged famine. We have held out the offer of loans for the removal of the suffering created by it ; and whilst many of the farming classes, with the tribe of surveyors and other rural harpies, are scrambling for their share, the peasantry nearly to a man are leaving their usual avocations, abandoning the cul tivation of their patches of land, and pressing their claims to be set to work at the country's expense, or to be fed. The rabble, who have resorted to acts of violence, are composed, the bulk of them, of those who never work—confirmed mendicants, midnight prowlers, and lawless depredators. But thousands of those who are profiting by the intimidation thus created, and procuring relief from the workhouses for present subsistence, with prospect of employ ment at fair wages, considering the country, are parties not more in need of such aid than small farmers and cottiers in this country, who have no such aid held out to them, and little inclination to seek it. The lesson, therefore, which we are teach ing these classes of our Irish fellow-countrymen is ruinously demoralizing ; whilst the labour for which we are paying them is of little public utility, and would be more advantageous ultimately, even for themselves, if bestowed upon the improvement of their own holdings. It is clear that we cannot persist in this from hand-to-mouth system of treating the Irish people, unless we wish to reduce them to a nation of pau pers. The whole social and industrial system of that country must be taken to pieces and re-con structed ; and both the owners of property, the cultivators of the soil, and the peasant and artisan taught to depend more upon their own resources for support in temporary emergencies like the present. We must not allow two-thirds of the Irish people to be permanently left but one degree from starvation. As the basis of such an improved condition of the people, we must have a Poor-law introduced into Ireland upon the English system. Sanatory regu lations for the promotion of domestic comfort and the improvement of their cottages and cabins would create improved habits of cleanliness, and new tastes, instead of the present filthy habits, dress, and persons, exhibited by the lower classes of the Irish people. There are none who have witnessed the indomitable industry, and the comparative cleanliness and taste for comfort, of a large portion of the Irish residents in the large towns of England, who will assert that their condition, in these respects, in their own country, is a natural con dition. The Irish character is too full of shrewd ness to warrant such a conclusion. We believe firmly that the present wretched condition of their habitations, dress, and mode of living, is forced upon them. The appeal ad misirecordiam is the only weapon of the Irish peasant and small farmer against the exactions of their priesthood, of middle men, and others who prey upon their industry. The thriving man dare not show the produce of his thrift and bettered condition in any of the forms in which it is made manifest in other countries. Again, the legislature must seriously devote itself to measures which will tend to give better security than at present exists for tenants disposed to effect improvement in their holdings. At present it is notorious that thousands of the farming classes dare not, although each has his little store available for the purpose, improve either the condition of his land or his dwelling; but is deterred from attempting either by the fear of his rent being increased or the result of his industry appropriated. Of what use are the reports of commissions if they are to lead to no efforts to carry out the suggestions of those who have so laboriously devoted themselves to enquiry ? We want some practical legislation for this object; and we trust that another session of parliament will not be permitted to pass by without such legislation being attempted. There are diffi culties enough in the way we know. The evils to be surmounted are full of complication. We have inveterate prejudices and long-accustomed habits to be got rid of. But here, as in other attempts to effec tuate good, we shall be aided by the natural shrewd dness of the people, which, once awakened, will soon enable them to see the advantage to accrue to them. Whether the condition of Ireland will urge an early meeting of the legislature, or not, we know not; and reports upon the subject are very little to be depended upon. For our own part, we doubt the prudence of such a course. The crisis in which Ireland is now unhappily placed is such as to render any legislative effort for its immediate removal, attended as all such efforts must be with delays— with tedious, and, perhaps, recriminati ng d e b ates and party struggles — impossible. The gov ernment must act upon its own responsibility, in the first instance; and in the meantime a series of compre hensive measures, of a character to meet the evils and disorganization of the social system in Ireland permanently, must be devised for a much calmer deliberation than it is possible they could receive at the present moment. TOXTETH-PARK.-01.1r contemporary, the Mercu ry , was very inconclusively sage last week with respect to sundry doings in Toxteth-park. We have an eye up on these affairs, and upon the extraordinary mode in which the Radicals of that extra-parochial place attempt to ma. nage the register. We restrain ourselves, however, f or the present. But we shall not lose sight of the data which are before us, and of the rumours which reach us daily. Strange that men in the present age should imagin e that things could be done "in a corner," w ithin a mile from the locality in which a newspaper is written and published ! Radicalism, we always thought, had some predilection for the light—some slight hatred of under the-rose tyranny. In this case, however, popery appears to pull the wires. But we say no more at present. By and bye, the Radical magnates of Toxteth-park may ex pect to hear from us, and to read an exposition of their doings, THE DOCKS AND PORT OF BRISTOL. We had some remarks recently upon the position of the Docks of Bristol, as compared with those of Liver pool, in which a reduction of the charges in the former were urged as absolutely necessary to prevent the total abstraction of that portion of the trade of the port which was not merely loci!. We have now before us a report of a meeting, held in Bristol this day week, for the pur pose of making an effort to stay the rapidly declining condition of that town, arising from such extravagant charges, which, in our opinion, holds out little expecta tion of any very great competition to arise from our neighbour in the Bristol channel. Tt.e result of this complication of interests is, for the Bristolians, sufficiently distressing. Their port is branded before the commercial world as the dearest one in the kingdom. Charters for British ports already in clude the proviso " for any port in Great Britain, except the port of Bristol." Merchants are closing their es tablishments, and removing to more favoured ports. The Great Western Company have been compelled to send their vessels round to Liverpool. The sugar trade is leaving the port ; and the only step conceived to be effectual in repairing all these evils is to free it altogether. But which of the parties is to buy up the other two? The difficulty of deciding this pertinent question seems to have struck the meeting, which separated after declaring that it was "expedient to free the port of Bristol from all charges on goods and shipping, except," &c.; that an as sociation should be formed with the magnificent title of the " Bristol Frce Port Association" ; and that the inha bitants of Bristol and the neighbourhood be admitted members on enrolling their names ! We doubt if this " Free Port Association " will have the luck of the League. It seems that it is not altogether the dock dues of Bristol that impede, by their extravagance, the commerce of the port. There are town dues to deal with as well, which form a material item in the cost of an importation into Bristol. There is, moreover, a " Society of Mer chants," who have exclusive privileges. Ilere are three bodies—the dock-owners, the corporation, as the owners of the town dues, and the society of merchants—all of whom must come to an understanding before any mate rial reduction can be made. In the meantime, one party waits upon another; one party argues, let the other re duce, and there is the more scope for our exactions. Under these circumstances, the effort to make Bristol a " free port"—for that is what is attempted—seems to us hopeless. REVISION 6F THE MUNICIPAL LISTS. The court for the revision of the lists of municipal vo ters commenced its labours on Thursday last before D. Hodgson, Mayor, and Messrs. Radcliffe and Yates, asses sors. The result of the proceedings was as follows : SCOTLAND WARD. There were 186 notices of objec tion served by both sides. Of these the Radicals suc ceeded in establisbirg 65, and the Conservatives 26. The residue, 95 failed. VAUXII A LL.— Of 120 objections, each side succeeded in establishing 38 ; 44 failed. ST. PAUL'S.—Here the whole of the objections, 87 in number, were made by the Radicals, and they succeeded in knocking off the list 63 votes ; 24 failed. EXCHANGE.—Of 127 objections, the Conservatives established 33, and the Radicals, 31 ; the residue, 63, were retained on the list. CASTLE-STREET.---Of 147 objections, the Conserva tives sustained 40, and the Radicals 24; the residue, 83, were retained. In Everton Ward there were neither claims nor ob jections. On Saturday, the court revised the lists for Pitt-street Ward, St. George's Ward, and Rodney-street Ward. Yesterday, the lists were revised for Abercromby, Lime -street, St. Anne's Ward, in which the Conservatives gained eight votes, West Derby, and South ToxtethWards. In the latter the Conservatives had taken 194 objections, of which they sustained 49 ; 60 were withdrawn and the rest failed. The Court adjourned at seven o'clock till Thursday morning. We cannot close this brief report without noticing the indefatigable exertions of Mr. Bremner, solicitor, the agent for the Conservatives, whose tact, ability, and tem per thoughout an arduous contest with persevering oppo nents, deserve the warmest commendations. PROFANATION OF THE SABBATH. DR. COX'S DESCRIPTION Ot THE STRANDING OF THE GRE VP BRITAIN. On Sunday morning, an unu-maly large congregation assembled at the Presbyterian Church, in Rodney-street, it having been announced that Dr. Cox, of New York, would preach. As some of our readers are probably aware, the reverend gentleman was one of the foreigners engaged in the formation of " The Evangelical Alliance ; ' and it will be remembered that a valedictory breakfast was given to the doctor and other American ministers by the Liverpool admirers of "The Alliance," on the 21st ultimo, at the Music-hall, Bold-street, prior to the sailing of the Great Britain, in which it was the intention of the strangers to return home. They accordingly em barked, but the accident to their noble vessel brought them again to Liverpool; and it was the expectation that the learned doctor would make some allusion to the scene in Dundrum Bay, together with his high reputation as an eloquent preacher, that filled the above-mentioned place of worship with a crowd of strange listeners, as well as a full attendance of the ordinary worshippers. The reverend doctor preached from the Bth chapter of Romans, verses 18 to 25, and his discourse was divided into several heads, one of which was as to what was meant by the " vanity" to which the creature is said in the text to be subjected—" For the creature was made subject to VANITY, not willingly, but by reason of him who bath subjected the same in hope." In treating of this he said—" A part of this vanity is made up of disap pointments. How grand a chapter of human history does the word indicate ! What hopes destroyed in a moment ; what plans thwarted ; what expectations frustrated ; yea, even, what prayers unheard ! Yet we ought to be very cautious in speaking thus of prayer. Prayer is not dictation ; it is request with submission. The best answer to prayer is often not that which the suppliant may expect or would choose. When we pray we commit our interests to the care of our Heavenly Father; and must say and feel, " Not as I will, but as Thou wilt." 1 am reminded forcibly of this when 1 remember that I little thought two weeks ago of preaching this day in Liverpool. I expected that I should instead he preaching to my own beloved people in America. With what high hopes did the Great Britain, with 300 souls on board, leave the docks of Liverpool ! Suppose of the thousands who thronged the shores to witness her departure, it had been asked, " Where is she going ?" who among them would have replied ought but that she was going to Ame rica ; and yet in nine and a half hours afterwards she was stranded in the storm, in the dark night, amid rainings, and lightnings and thunders, and the heaving of the sea, and the panic-stricken terrors of the hundreds on board. For the suddenness of the shock, the necessary ignorance of all as to our real position, made every one fear the worst, from the repeated concussions to which we were subjected by the fury of the elements. While going with the wind and the storm we knew not its fury, but when we were aground we felt the power of its might. It is not my province to inquire into the providence of man, or to investigate the absence of it ; let us look at the providence of God. The expectations of thousands in America and in: Europe were thwarted in a moment, although every event, every accessory, seemed to assure us of a happy and rapid transit across the broad Atlantic. I will sketch one or two of the many providences for which oar warmest gratitude is due to him who disposeth all things ; and I do it with the desire that you will pray for us ; that you will pray to the God of all mercies to assuage the agonies felt by the friends of the voyagers, to-day and to morrow, when the continued absence of the Great Britain will remind them of the fate of the unhappy President, and no telegraphic communication through air or ocean can tell them that the giant of the waters is not gorged in the deep. My consolation in these events is a humble confidence in the wisdom of the sublime counsels of Him who overrules all things, and who comforted the heart of the child-bereaved Jacob, when he exclaimed, " All these things are against me." The first thing I will mention is, that no life was lost. What is property to life ? Oh, how valuable is the life of man ! not as an animal, but as the whole creature—body and soul. While in this world you are within the province of hope, if you are not prepared to die, by the grace of God you may be soon. Here were 300 human lives in imminent peril. Of these half a hun dred were little children from Vienna and some from Eng land, whose education had been ' on the light fantastic toe,' and whose occupation tendeth to vanity. I pitied them much, but I am now very glad to think that thay are not coming to my country, where there is vanity enough without them. 1 say this out of no unkindness to • wards these poor children, who perhaps have no fathers or mothers to teach them, having not been long in this world to acquire those principles by which they might safely go through and triumphantly go out of it. No life was lost ! There were even more saved than were with Paul when he was shipwrecked on the island of Melita. The next provi dence eras the position which we were in, a dangerous bay, in which no vessel had hitherto escaped destruction. I am not pretending to give a graphic description ; nor can I lay claim to the accuracy of a surveyor, I shall merely state what I believe. When I looked out of the gigantic vessel the following morning, there was on either side a ledge of sunken rocks, which must have been fatal to the ship had she gone in at a different angle of only five de grees either way. The sand too of that little chasm was of a hard tenacious nature, and the force with which the vessel went ashore sent it so deeply into it, as to form a safe support when the waters of the tide receded. Had the sands been of a looser kind, or had the shore been mud, the receding of the tide would have let her fall over on her beam ends, and who can then tell what would have been the result. Who navigated the ship into that cove of safety ? in the waves of the storm—with the darkness of night stretched over us—when the waters were high. The hand of God, our Heavenly Father ! Who else could have guided the ship through those rocks, which would have riddled her iron model; let in the inundation; and she would have been a great sepulchre, and we the corpses ! In the morning, when the approaching chariot of the sun brightened the east, and I looked over the sides of the vessel, the water around us was not three feet in depth. The poor people of the coast were assem bling, and when I and the rest of the passengers were let down many feet to be borne ashore on the shoulders of men, I looked back at the ill-fated ship, and thought that I had never before seen so fitting a thing wherewith to compare the stranding of the ark upon Mount Ararat. I suppose there were a hundred and fifty of the passen gers in the cabin at half past nine o'clock, when the ship grounded ; and they behaved extremely well. I heard no such thing as. one profane or rash expression in that moment of terror. We had no counsellor, no plan, no leader. The anxiety and anguish of females, too much frightened to shriek, made the whole scene one of indescribable confusion, such as I can never forget. I proposed to some who stood near me to go to prayer ; but they requested me not, as it would tend to increase the consternation by making the danger appear more imminent than perhaps it really might be. What, said I, is prayer to God no medicine for the mind dis tressed ? is not God a very present help in time of trouble ? is not man's extremity God's opportunity ? I accordingly arose, and, after a few words, all walking and talking ceased, and we joined in prayer, with a feeling that we might in a moment go down to the bottom, and on the pinions of hope and faith go up to judgment. We also felt that we were sinners, and that there could be no hope save in Jesus Christ, our Saviour. There was no such monster as an infidel then to show himself ! Many there were, who now feel that their rescue was a solemn warning to them ; as indeed it is to you, and to all. lam happy to say that !all seemed delighted with the opportunity of prayer ; and when a second supplication was offered by the Rev. Mr. Gill, it seemed indeed like ointment poured forth. It made us all feel one family ; there was no formality, no state, no affectation; all gave way before a sense of mutual danger and mutual trust in God. I hope and believe God's providence and presence then, may be I blessed to the salvation of a thousand souls; for sup posing one hundred, or a less number, of careless sinners, to be arrested in their course, and induced to seek after the things of God, and of his Christ, their influence and example will produce like results, and my hopes may more than be fulfilled. I trust it made us all resolve, by the grace of God, to be better Christians, and walk in His paths more regularly, more circumspectly." The learned doctor then proceeded with his discourse ; and in the prayer, near the conclusion of the service, again alluded to his recent deliverance from shipwreck, in a most eloquent and touching manner. MORTALITY IN TOXTETH-PARK —During the last three months of July, August, and September, five hundred and eighty-nine deaths have been registered in this township. _ SMUGGLING EAU DE VIE.—A Maltese sailor, named Gaetano Mastellone, was fined 40s at the police court, yesterday, for smuggling three bottles of brandy from a vessel in the King's Ddck. The fine was immediately paid. EXCHANGE DISORDERLY.—One of the porters whofre quent the purlieus of the Exchange flags, waiting for employment, and whose name is Wm. Wilson, was charged before the stipendiary magistrate. yesterday, with having abused and menaced the officer placed there by the proprietors, without any apparent reason. The case was clearly proved, and in ordering the prisoner to find bail, Mr. Rushton stated that it was only by permission that these men congregated within the area. The Exchange was private property, and it was not to be tolerated that persons who were allowed to stand there, waiting for employment, should annoy the officer on duty. In London the parties were not allowed to stand within the Exchange at all. In default of bail the defendant was committed. INQUESTS YESTERDAY.—Three inquests were held yesterday before the borough coroner. The first was upon an infant, three months old, the daughter of Patrick and Catherine Dowd, who live in Paris-court, Crooked lane. Death was caused by the child being overlain on Thursday night.—The second case was that of a married woman, fifty years of age, named Mary Angle. She re sided in Redcross-street, and, on Friday last, she was seen intoxicated, but when she went to bed in the even ing she appeared to her daughter to be sober. The next morning she was found dead, having expired during the night without giving an alarm. She was stated by the surgeon to have died of apoplexy, the result of intemper ance.—The third inquest was upon a young woman, named Margaret Jones, aged 24, a servant in the family of Mr. E. D. Musgrove, 51, Elizabeth-street. It appeared that on the morning of yesterday week (Monday), the de ceased went into the coal vault with a lighted candle for the purpose of getting some coals. A few seconds after wards Mrs. Musgrove and her sister heard her scream out that she was on fire. They immediately ran down to her, and found her upon the stairs envoloped in flames, her clothes by some means having taken fire. A hearth rug was instantly thrown round her, but before the fire could be extinguished by it, the unhappy woman ran into the street, where some passers-by effected this object. She was conveyed to the infirmary, where she was found to have been severely burnt over the entire body, from the effect of which she expired on Thursday last. The de ceased did not state how the accident had occurred, and the candle was afterwards found upset, but still burning. In all the cane nada Qf "Accidental Death," were returned. LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. TILE SPANISH MARRIAGES.—The Paris journals are already expressing triumph, and anticipating the best re sults to France from these two unions. The Paris cor respondent of the Times, in allusion to this subject, says, " These journals commence well. You will speedily hear of the overthrow of the Pyrenees by this immense acquisition gained for France: you will see the Princess, destined, in certain circumstances, to rule over Spain, arrive in Paris, and become French; you will bear of her adopting the views as she will adopt the language of the French Court, that her children, brought up at the Chateau of the Tuileries with those of her illustrious brothers in-law, will become, like them, truly and bond fide French princes. Yon will hear, probably, before waiting long, of the advantages secured to French com merce in Spain over that of all foreign countries. Yoa will hear of the security given to the African possessions of France by not the cession, perhaps, but the application of Majorca and Minorca, the latter in particular, to the uses and the services of France ; and you will hear how far the project to make the Mediterranean a French lake will have been advanced by this glorious idea, so happily realised." in Belgium and the north of France, the potato crop is reported to be not only good, but abundant : the unsound crop of last year being succeeded by one perfectly healthy. COLLISION ON THE RIVER.—A collision took place near the Cheshire shore, on Saturday night, between two of the Woodside boats, but owing to the clearness of the weather, both vessels being able to reverse their engines, the consequences were exceedingly trivial. The Wirral left this side at half-past nine, and the Nun the opposite side at the same time; the former, steaming to stem the tide, which was running up rapidly towards the Rock, came in collision with the other boat, which was running down in land to make a reach to the Pier. Some of the passengers were much alarmed, and the boat was about a quarter of an hour behind her time. No blame is, we learn, attached to either captain. Mr. Dietrichsen, surviving partner of the firm of Han nay and Dietrichsen, committed suicide on Wednesday, by cutting his throat. ST. MICHAEL'S MOUNT.—It is rumoured that our most gracious Sovereign has offered £55,000 for St. Mi chael's Mount, Devonshire, as a marine residence, but that the sum asked is £75,000._ . THE NAVAL STATION AT COVE.—A letter has been received by the Earl of Bandon from Lord John Russell, intimating that the Lords of the Admiralty approved of the establishment of a naval station at Cove for the re pairs of steamers, ships of war, &c., that an engineer would be sent over at once to lay out the necessary works, and labourers then employed in the excavations, &c. A CONSCIENTIOUS DEBTOR.—The Rev. Wm. Robert son, of Monzievaird, has received £1 sterling from a party in London, as tenfold payment of a debt incurred in that parish about forty years ago. He has duly paid the sun to Mr. Duncan M'Grigor, at the house of Burn, the son of the person to whom the debt was due; and Mr. D. M'Grigor has returned the amount to be distributed among the poor of the parish.—Perthshire Courier. NEW NAVIGATION.—Much interest was excited yes terday by the noble though not entirely new exhibition• of part of a sea-going vessel drawn by horses to the water side. An iron ship, of 300 tons, being in course of con struction by the Messrs. Pim, the bows and foremost por tion of the hull were removed from the foundry in Eng lish-street, in a cradle drawn by sixteen horses, and aided' by nearly 200 men to their yard on the Humber-bank, near Wellington-street, where the after part will be re moved in about a fortnight to complete the vessel, which is intended for the Liverpool and Dublin trade.—Hull• Paper. APPALLING DISTRESS.—We (Cork Ezaminer) pray attention to the statement of the Rev. Mr. Daly, con tained in this day's paper, with reference to the destitu tlon of the parish of Kilworth, of which he is the pastor. Many of the poor inhabitants, he declared, at the Fermoy presentment sessions, had no other means of subsistence but cabbage leaves, the effects of which were visible in their altered frames and appearance. The Earl of Mount cashel, without repeating the shocking details, testified to the truth of every word of the clergyman's recital. It is strange that a state of circumstances so undoubtedly real and sickening to contemplate should occur in a Christian land. FRE HEROES OF THE SUTLEJ.—On Sunday upwards of 150 invalids of the 3rd Light Dragoons, 16th Lancers, and 9th, 10th, 29th. 31 s t, 50th, 53 r d, 62nd, and 80th Regiments of Foot, from India, arrived at Chatham, having disembarked at Gravesend from the Herefordshire, all of whom were engaged in the four battles on the banks of the Sutlej It was painful to witness the mutilation which some of these brave men suffered in the late en counters with the Sikhs—most of them having lost an arm or a leg, and one sergeant both legs and arms. They left Ferozepore the 14th March last, and arrived at Bombay the 27th April, having been conveyed in steam-boats from the mouth of the Indus, and they embarked on board the above ship on the 16th of May, from Bombay. The ship put in at St. Helena for water and stores, and they also put in at Fayal. Lieut. M. Deane Freeman, of the 80th, who was shot through the thigh, died on the passage. MONEY MARKET—SATURDAY NIGHT.—The news by the overland mail has produced no effect upon the Consol market, notwithstanding its political core plexion seems to be regarded as far from s a ti s factory. In the general appearance of prices at the Stock-Exchang e . there was no particular alteration, except that heavines s continues the leading character of business. The deal ings in all the departments were of the most limited kind, the early closing of the markets inducing many of the jobbers to withdraw themselves entirely on a Saturday. Consols, for money and the account, left off this afternoon at 951 to ; Long Annuities (expiring sth of January, 1860) 10 1-16; India Stock, 260; and Exchequer-bills, 15s. to lls. prem. The bargains in the foreign mar ket are scarcely worth enumeration. They include Buenos Ayres, at 43; Mexican, for the account, at 25 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., for the account, at 42; Spanish Five per Cents., 261 ; and Dutch Four per Cents., Certificates, at 922. During the last week, and particularly within the last two days, the demand for money on commercial paper has been increasing. The current rate for discounting bills of the first class may be set down at 3 to 31 per cent. REFUSING CHRISTIAN BURIAL. The town was thrown into great excitement on Tuesday, in consequence of the Rev. S. Carr, vicar of St. Peter's, having refused Christian burial of a man named Foster, an umbrella maker, who resided on North-hill, in the above parish. Mr. Carr, being applied to to perform the funeral rites, it appears, refused, on the ground that deceased had lived a dissolute life, therefore he could not conscientiously comply with the request of the family in that respect, but allowed the grave of Foster's late wife to be opened, that his remains might be deposited therein, and the bell was tolled as the funeral procession approached the church yard. On the corpse arriving at the grave, a messenger was brought to Mr. Carr, to request him to officiate per sonally, but he was inexorable, and still persisted in hie refusal, as regarded himself, or any other clergymarl to officiate for him. The consequence was, that the corpse was taken back, and an application was made to Mr. Herrick, minister rof the Independent chapel,. East Stockwell-street, for permission to have the corpse in terred in the burial-ground adjoining the meeting-house, which was instantly complied with by Mr. Herrick, who also volunteered to perform the funeral rites. A grave was immediately sunk, and at nine o'clock the same eve ning the corpse was conveyed thither, attended by at least a thousand persons, who observed the most profound de corum.—Chelmsford Chronicle. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—May I beg the favour of your drawing the atten tion of the police authorities to a nuisance of a serious magnitude which is of weekly occurrence in this neigh bourhood, to the very great annoyance of the inhabitants of the street in which I dwell, as also of those adjacent. Every Sunday afternmin a mob of ragamuffins, amounting to several hundred, congregate on the common, fronting my house, and commence pelting each other with stones, brickbats, &c., so that not only our windows but persons are endangered by these abominable practices ; and as a policeman is rarely seen in this neighbourhood, the offenders escape with impunity.—By inserting this you will much oblige the inhabitants of this district, and also your obedient servant, A CONSTANT READER. Windsor•street, Toxleth-park, Oct. 5, 1846. List of cabin passengers per Patrick Henry, Delano, from New York—left on the evening of the Bth Sept.:— Mrs. Buckley and two daughters, Mr. Alexander Nelson, Miss Clarke, Mr. Thos. Green, Mr. A. Auld, Mr. Hyde, Mr. Heesley, Mr. Rodgers, lady, and two children, and 167 in the steerage. LAUNCH.—A magnificent iron steam-ship, for the Cork and Glasgow line, will be launched from the yard of Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Sons, Sefton-street, to morrow (Wednesday), at half-past eleven o'clock. The launchways along which she will glide into the water will be of the extraordinary length of about 400 feet. At the council meeting to-morrow, Mr. Procter will move that the resolution of the council of the 24th May, 1843, authorising the erection of a gaol on the site of the Wavertree-ball estate be rescinded, and that a committee be appointed to consider and report to the council the most desirable mode of laying out the estate as ground for public recreation, in connexion with the Botanic Gardens. We hope sincerely that the resolution will pass. SAINT ANNE'S WARD.—We learn that the electors of this Ward have selected Mr. Bennett, the extensive iron founder, and one of the most active members of the com mittee of the Collegiate Institution, to represent their interests in the Town Council. A better man, a sounder conservative, and a more deservedly-respected citizen, they could not have pitched upon. We trust that the burgesses will bestir themselves actively to return their candidate; and especially we warn them to be upon their guard against whig radical strategy. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce has shown equal warmth with the Commercial Association in op posing the salt monopoly of India ; and, indeed, the ma nufacturing interest generally seem alive to the argument that if three months of the labour which is now absorbed by the purchase of salt can be directed to the production of sugar, there will be additional means of purchasing British goods. The Chamber of Commerce have address ed Mr. Aylwin, stating that their directors have decided upon memorialising the East India Company to relinquish the monopoly, and to permit the free importation of salt. STEALING A CASE OF LINEN.—Mr. Rushton, the sti pendiary magistrate, was occupied a long time at the Police-court yesterday, in investigating a charge against three men, named Frank Downey, James Byrnes, and Lawrence Ellmore, of having stolen a case of MA linen valued at £2B. It appeared that on the 29th ult. eight boxes, and a sample box, of linens were received here by the Belfast steamer, Sea King, from Messrs. W. E. Brown and Co., of Balleymena. They were all numbered and marked WD, with an M enclosed in a diamond ; and were intended for shipment to Vera Cruz by the ship Reis Effendi, now lying in George's Dock. The consignee sent a carter, named Reynolds, to bring them from the Sea King to the Reis Effendi; and the delivery of the eight boxes, and the sarnplebox, to the mate of thatvesselwas clearly proved ; but on the consignee attending in the afternoon, for the purpose of seeing the measurements taken, one box was missed. The next day, Saturday, a man named Rice, who lives in Garden-street, gave information at the Police-office, to the effect, that Ellmore had, on Friday, left a box at his house, which he desired should not be given up to any other person. Three men were with him at that time, the other two prisoners and another man. Byrnes, be stated, asked him to keep the box till night, and he would give him a sovereign. Acting upon this information the police stationed themselves in Rice's house, and when the box was called for they secured the whole of the prisoners. The box was identified, as the same which was missing. Ellmore and Byrnes were de fended by Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Dodd appeared for Downey, but they failed in rebutting the charge. The prisoners were consequently committed for trial at the next sessions. THEFTS BY A SERVANT.—CAUTION TO PAWNBRO KERS.—At the Police-court, yesterday, a case was brought before Mr. Rushton which may operate as a caution to pawnbrokers against negligence in ascertaining the marks upon articles pledged with them, particularly wearing apparel and domestic linen. Mr. Dawson, soli citor, who lives in York Terrace, Everton, charged his nurse girl, named Susannah M`Kenzie, with having plundered the house of a great quantity of property, all marked, of the value of £3O, and another woman, named Maria Johnson, with having feloniously pledged portions of it. M`Kenzie had only been a fortnight in the prose cutor's service when table-cloths, sheets, vests, a splendid cashmere shawl, and many other articles, were missed. Information was given to the police, who sent printed no tices round to all the pawnbrokers, containing a descrip tion of each article, and the marks upon them. Suspici ons attached to the nurse, and she was apprehended ; and information given by Mr. Pye, pawnbroker, Marybone, led to the apprehension of the other prisoner. One of the officers in the case complained to the court that the other pawnbokers, two in number, who had received portions of the: stolen property in pledge, were not in attendance, although they had received notice requiring them to be present. The hearing of the case was consequently postponed till this day (Tuesday). In ordering summonses to be issued, peremptorily requiring the attendance of the absent par ties, Mr. Rushton said it was really shocking that any respectable pawnbroker should take property offered in pledge by strange persons, when the name of the owner was upon it, and notice of the robbery had been given from the police-office. In the present instance, Mr. Pye was the only one out of three who had given information of the pledging. There was something dreadful in this un willingness to aid the ends of justice; and he called upon the parties to remember that they were keeping stolen pro in their possession after due notification of the robbery of the property stolen. What distinction, he asked, was there between them and the parties actually guilty ? Such conduct would assuredly lead to some of them being in dicted as a warning to others. The prisoners were then remanded. Oct. E, 1846. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. MONDAY, sth OCTOBER.—Wind S.S.E. fresh, ARRlVED.—Elizabeth and Mary Ann, from Galatz—Warren. Taylor, New Orleans—Fanny, Sampson.
