The rector subject was on! nce tr) the now talked of going to the Ecclesiastical Court. He did not think he would fare much better there. The Chairman : I beg par Jon—when did I talk of going to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners ? __ Mr. Owen said, at the last meeting he found that Mr. Twiss gave his opinion with respect to the registration fee, and that the fees annexed to the act of Parliament, 10 Geo. IV., were the only legal fees which could b? claimed in respect to St Martin's Cemetery. That was what the rector's own counsel,and the best ecclesiastical lawyer in the country, gave as his opinion. This decision of the Qleen's Bench, to which he referred, was the following:—" Lord Campb:/l.—l have to doubt that gentleman is a very meritorious member of the Church of England, and, from his name, I hope he deserves all commendation. I should he very glad if his stipend, which appears to be very inadequate, could he properly augmented by fees for burials; but there is no power to raise these p irticular fees, because they are absolutely fixed by the 10th Geo. IV. They are fixed by the 26th . - see c., and it is impossible to apply the 27th to Cemeteries, when there is subsequently an express enactment that the fees mentioned . in the schedule shall be the fees, and the only fees, payable in respect to burials in cemete• ries. I have no doubt that there was no intention what ever to raise these fees at the parish meeting in 1829, and that a proper construction was put upon the act by not demanTling fees for the burials in question. I there fore think that the order of the auditor was right. Justice Wightman and Crompton expressed the same opinion." Mr. Owen contended that the Walton Cemetery must come under the same law as the old cemeteries, as a matter of course. So far as he was concerned, unless the rector could bring some statement, of which he now knew nothing—something very different from what he had read—he contended that the vestry had no right to take the matter out of the hands of the law, where it had been decided by the judges of the land. Ai faithful representatives of the public of Liverpool, he denied hat they would have any right to settle the matter They were public servan's, 'epeated, emphalcally, that _ ettled by the decision of the sof the land. (Hear, hear.) yes privately a public duty, and lie THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. ducted to another class-room, under the care of Richard Barry, a Roman Catholic pupil teacher, and they remain under this surveillance until the prayers are ended. At the time of afternoon prayer, namely, four o'clock, Miss Cassamare herself conducts the girls to a claSs-room, and places them under the care of a pupil teacher named Fuller. And here it may be right to state that this young person, Fuller, is a Protestant, but, if any objec tion should he taken to this, I may say that the services of Martha M'Ardle can be had in the afternoon as well as in the morning ; and, i❑ addition to this, there is a nurse, Mary Callaghan (also a Roman Catholic), whose services could be employed in the same way ; indeed, I am given to understand that she is occasionally so occu pied ; so that here we have four qualified persons, three of them being Roman Catholics, who are always at hand for the purpose of taking charge of these children during the time of the Protestant prayers. And at the same hour of four o'clock the Roman Catholic boys are assembled in a class-room under the care of Richard Barry. Thug, for all secular purposes, and for the necessary care of these children at all times, there is abundant provision if rightly brought into exercise. You might have imagined, from statements you have heard made, that during the time the Protestant children were engaged in that most beautiful of all exercises, prayer to God, the Roman Catholic children were turned adrift upon the building, as sheep without a shepherd, no man caring for them. Such, I assure you, is cot the fact. The next point is the carrying of the coals, by the Roman Catholic girls, about nine in number, at four o'clock. This arrangement was made by Mr. Coates, it being the time the boys are absent from the yards, and consequently the most suitable time for the gills to carry on their work without interruption. However, that has been altered, and, therefore, little need be said about it, and I am glad it has been altered, because I should have felt it my duty to have objected to Roman Catholic girls being exclusively selected for such an employment. (Hear, hear.) I come now to the piggery —(laughter)—and here it will be needful to be somewhat particular. The piggery (as it is emphatically called) is at the end of the girls Ida ground—but you must hear in mind that the ground is enclosed by a %Nall ten feet high. There is a door at the bottom of the ground, which leads to the piggery; that door is not always locked ; I think it should be, and then there could be no temptation to the girls to go beyond their proper boundary, although I believe it does not appear in evidence that any of the girls were actually found there. I have no doubt a very incorrect opinion is formed out of doors of this piggery ; the fact is, it is the farm yard of the establishment, and gentlemen who choose to visit it may see, as I !lava seen, the cooing doves, the waddling ducks, the cackling geese, the tender chickens, and the crowing cocks, as well as the grunting pigs. (Hear, hear, and laughter ) S o you see, after all,' it is not such a very bad place for a Roman Catholic child to stray to, and it is not surprising that children should be attracted to it. So much for the secular part of the question; so much for the statement of facts I promised to lay before you. I now turn to the con sideration of the second head, viz., the religious; and here I feel that lam treading on tender ground. I may expose myself to the cry of bigotry ' • I may be told th a t these discussions stir up strife, an d let loose the angry passions of men. Be it so, I have a duty to discharge, and I will perform the obligation that duty imposes to the best of my humble abilities, fearless of every conse quence, and in defiance of every threat. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Sir, lam as great an advocate for peace as you are, or as any member of the vestry can possibly be, but I would not purchase peace at too dear a cost. It has been stated at this board, and I think also in the schools' committee, that the real object in getting this appointment, is to promote the religious teach ing of the Church of Rome. (Hear, hear.) I am glad the admission has been made. Now, holding as 1 do, that the teaching of the Chur c h o f R ome i s repugnant to the Word of Go, and subversive of our Protestant institutions both in church and state, I cannot give my support to any measure that will promote the teachings of that church ; and I should consider that I incurred a guilty responsibility if I did, particularly in the relation in which I stand as a member of the vestry to these poor children. And here allow me, once for all, to repudiate the idea that has been thrown out, that because we are opposed to the appointment of these Roman Catholic pupil teachers, therefore we are opposed to the teaching of these children. I deny this. I make the authors of the insinuation a present of it, and I assert that my views of education are universal. (Hear, hear.) I would do as George the Third wished to do : Give every child a Bible, and let every child be taught to read it ; and I would do this irrespective of creed or clime ; and I care not who he be, whether high or low --rich or poor— learned or unlearned—with influence or without influ ence—in office or out of office— lay or clerical, be is not worthy the name of Christian who would not do the same. (Cheers, and laughter.) Gentlemen, I might greatly enlarge upon this topic—l might point you to the innovations that have been made in the schools—l might direct you to innovations that have been attempted to be made, but I forbear. 1 have said sufficient to arouse your attention to the importance of this motion, and I will reserve any further remarks I may deem it necessary to offer until the time arises for my reply. I beg leave to move—" That this board, having reconsidered the cit.• cumstances which led to permission being given to the Industrial Schools' Committee to appoint additional Roman Catholic pupil teachers, is of opinion that the present requiremenis of the school do not justify such an appointment, and it hereby rescinds its resolution of the 16th ultimo." Mr. Mellor seconded the motion. DINNER TO MR. STITT'S (LC.) FRIENDS Oa Monday evening, upwards of fifty gentlemen, comprising the committee and others of Mr. Stitt's friends, were entertained by that gentleman at a splendid banquet, which took place at the Derby Arm's Hotel, Kirkdale. The dinner was profuse and sumptuous, and the wines, including cham_ pagne, sherry, and a A ed port, were of the finest description. The chair was occupied by the worthy and newly.elected representative of the ward, and Mr. Hall, who acted as chairman of Mr. Stitt's committee during the election proceedings, ably filled the vice chair. After the removal of the cloth, the usual loyal toasts were given and honoured. Mr. Robinson, in an appropriate speech, gave "The Army and Navy," which was warmly received. Song--" Red, White, and B'ue." The Vice-chairman, in proposing the health of their representative in the council, gave a recital of the election proceedings, and the reasons which induced Mr. Stitt to come forward, on principle, to free the ward from narrow-minded representatives. lie passed a high eulogium on Mr. Stitt's ability as a man of business, perseverance, and talent, and he had no doubt that he would render both the town and the ward essential service. The toast was received with the utmost enthusiasm, and all the musical honours. Mr. Stitt, in a brilliant speech, characterised by sound reasoning, that showed he was a practical man, returned thanks, and promised that he would exert himself to the utmost in order to carry out the promises he had already given to the ward. He said he was accused of being too much of a speech maker ; but he promised he would not make many speeches in the council. lie would work there, and when it became necessary ho would talk also. After duly thanking the com pany, he sat down amid repeated cheering. . _ Dr. A ckerly gave " The Town Council, and the funds of the rople, and progress in it." Dru n k w ith h onours ; an d M r. Councillor Woodruff, in a neat speech, returned thanks. Mr. Kitchen, T. C.. also spoke to the toast, and was warmly applauded. Song, " A good time coming," sung in excellent Mr. Whitty deprecated the making that board an arena for polemical discussion at all. It was with great pain and reluctance he ever touched upon such a subject there, and when he had to do so, he desired to do it in the manner least offensive to every gentleman at the board. They were not assembled there to discuss the doctrines of the respective churches, but they were there as the representatives of the ratepayers to spend their money properly, and with a view to the highest secular and moral welfare of the children under their charge. The law was that one portion of the inmates entrusted to their care, namely, the Protestant children, should be educated at the public expense, and that all the appliances necessary for their proper teaching should be supplied out of the public purse, while the public were all impartially and indiscriminately contributing. The law, on the other hand, was that the Roman Catholic children should have full permission not only to learn, but to practice their religion, thereby securing to them, certainly no provision for their education, but the full and free exercise of that sacred right, which was secured, tie trusted, to every subject of her Majesty —the right to freedom of conscience. That poverty might not be an obstacle to the children obtaining this advantage, he had proposed the resolution. He never requested that a single farthing should be paid for the education of the Catholic children. On the contrary, he himself and some other gentlemen paid for the books used by the children out of their own pockets. He only asked for the just and reasonable permission that those to whom the care of the childrens' instruction was entrusted, should be free at all times, consistent with the due discipline of the schools, to impart that instruction. He further asked for the appointment of pupil teachers, as it had been proved, not only by him, but by other members of the board, that, at the hour when the Protestant children received religious instruction, there were many irregula rities of an improper nature, in consequence of the relaxation allowed to the Catholic children. He never concealed that his object was that the pupil teachers should instruct elementarily in the catechism ; and he called upon the board to assist an object which would impart religious instruction to the children, instead of allowing them to grow up in neglect and consequent immorality. Mr. Critchley opposed the motion, Mr. Jones supported it, on the ground that the number of pupil teachers ought not to be increased, and also that there was no real objection beyond that of bigotry to the Catholic children joining in the same prayers which the Protestant children said. Mr. Henry Hall, in a speech of considerable force, give " The Free and Independent Press of this country," which was received by the company with all the honours ; and Mr. T Whitehead, in an appropriate speech, returned thanks, and sat down amid cheering. Mr. Bairstow opposed the motion. Mr. Satchell replied, calling upon the chairman to stand forth as a watchman upon the tower of Zion, and to blow the trumpet of alarm. The Chairman said he declined to blow any trumpet at all. (Laughter ) The vestry divided, when there appeared : For the motion : Messrs. Satchell, Hand, W. Jones, Mellor, and Syred-5. The Chairman proposed " The health of the Vice-chairman," which was heartily received, and Mr. Hall returned thanks in a very pleasing speech. Several other toasts were given and responded to, and the company separated, after spending an agreeable and happy evening. Against : liiessrs.

THE LIVERPOOL FINANCIAL REFORM The motion was therefore lost On the motion of Mr. Shaw, Mr. Crawford was elected a member of the vestry, in the room of Mr. Wise, resigned. This concluded the business. ASSOCIATION PUBLIC SERVANTS. —There was a short discussion at the last weeAy meeting of the council, on the apparent absence of any system of control over persons in the employ of the State, adequate to prevent or punish the grossest misconduct, which is not immediately connected with the offices they fill. It would seem that such persons are secure against dismissal, so long as they perform their duties, no matter how inefficiently, and are not guilty of downright theft or embezzlement. In other respects, they seem to enjoy, occasionally at least, perfect impunity for incapacity or misconduct, which would insure instant dismissal from any private employment. It was observed, that placeholders of every sort would seem to have a sort of vested right against the public, from the moment of their appointment ; and the Crimea was referred to, as affording numerous examples of the manner in which public delinquencies are passed over. Malversation and incapacity of the grossest kind had been proved against scores and scores of official personages there, yet not one of them bad been dismissed, or even reprimanded. If ever the public service is to be placed on a proper footing all this must be altered. Pensions, retiring allowances, and compensations, must be g; vcn exceptionally, only not as an invariable rule; and proved incapacity, or gross misconduct, must be a ground for instant dismissal, without compensation at ail. TIM PRIME MINISTER.—Certain peculiarities of Lord Palmerston were mentioned ; one of them somewhat at variance with the fine things respecting commerce and manufactures which his lordship has addressed to the people of Liverpool and Manchester. It was said that ho knows nothing about trade, and cares Just as little, being ever ready to sacrifice its interests for the attainment of any political object ; that he never reads a newspaper; and that whatever dangers or difficulties beset or threaten the country, he is always perfectly at his ease, and suffers nothing which does not immediately affect himself or his position to give him a moment's disquiet, at least so far as appearances go. It was also stated that, in the House of Com mons, his lordship never takes a note or uses a memorandum These narrow minded Clamourers—Professors who repro bate improvement and discovery as innovations—are silenoed by the most respectable part of the Faculty, who do not scruple to recommend such articles as have acquired celebrity by their intrinsic merit. But it is a subject of regret, with all classes of the community, that the most valuable Patent and Public Medicines are often counterfeited. JONES'S MEDICINE WAREHOUSE is established on the principle of selling Genuine Patent Medicines and Drugs only Captains of ships, officers in the army or navy ladies and gentlemen, and others, geirg to a distant part of the empire, or into the country, may at all times have a large or small assortment of these Approved Medicines, safely packet, with ample directions for use, so as to go without risk to any distance, furnishing an admir ab'e resource of superior and well-tried remedies alway at hand.

DIRECT TAXATION IN AAIERICA.—An extract from an American paper, the Newburyport (Massachusetts) Daily fierci'd, of August 5, giving an account of the city taxes for 1856, for city, county, and state purposes, was laid before the council. The amount levied appears to have been 65,795 dollars, thus appropriated—city, 48,000 ; county, 9.290; and State, 5,574. This sum was raised by a tax of 84 dole per thousand, ass,ised on real and personal property, to the amount of 7,216,200 dollars, v:z , real estate 3,453,500 ; ppr , onal estate, 3,762,700. The number of assessments was 2 972. Appended to the summary was a list of more than 500 persons, paying 25 dollars and upwards, with the amount contributed by each opposite to their names. The highest in till list are the proprietors of certain mills, who nay 1.933 dollars ; the individual who pays most is a lady, Mrs. Sarah AV. Hale, set down at 1,360 dollars ; the next, John Currier, jun., 1,110 dollars ; and the next, John Bettiniill, 1,051 dollars. The member who introduced the subject said that, in all the States, revenue was raised for two purposes, local and federal; and in all, or nearly all, by direct taxation, on the principle of assessing capital at so much per cent. on the annual value. At New York, he believed, the assessment was on the cross value, and had amounted to as much as 15 per cent. In Mobile and Alabama, they took the amount of business transacted in a year, and the assessment was made ou a certai❑ per tentage. Nearly all the States bad adopted the principle of direct taxation. Every man made his own return as in this country, was subject to surcharge and examination of his books, in case of supposed false returns, and there was the further check of publication. He had often expressed to Americans his wonder that, having adopted so extensively the principles of direct taxation, they put up with such a nuisance as the Custom-house, which could only be useful for purposes of government p tronage and plunder. Another member sug gested that no government would like to give up such a pre serve. Ho thought it rather remarkable that the grand objection to direct taxation in this country should be its inquisitorial nature ; whilst the A moricans, who were gene rally supposed to be quite as hostile to anything inquisitorial as Englishmen, bad not only adopted, but submitted to the publicity given to their priva'e affairs, no doubt, in considera tion of the check which it furnishes against dishonest returns. POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. W. BROWN, M P. ROBBERY OF £ 2 7.--Detective Carlyle brought up three persons, named Anne Thompson, Anne Deacon, and Thomas Kemp, on a charge with having robbed Richd. Prescott of £27. The prosecutor sold a cart and horse for £3O, and went with the money into a had house in Ranestre street, where he was robbed of £27. Carlyle got £l9 Os 6d of the money, from a Mr. Wynn, who keeps the " Blind Beggar" public-house, Vauxhall road, who got it from the prisoner, Anne Deacon ; and it seemed that the prisoner, Anne Thompson, by the in fluence of the male prisoner, took the money from the prosecutor. Mr. Goodere was for the man. Mr. Wynn, the publican, proved that he got the money from the woman Deacon. Mr. Brown said : Sir, you, as a man of the world, must know that there was something wrong, seeing a woman of that sort with such a sum of money, and you should have acted otherwise than yon did. Mr. Wynn said ho never had seen anything bad by the woman. Mr. Clough said : I shall report this man's . conduct to the licensing magistrates at the sessions. Mr. Brown : Very properly, too. In the course of cross-examination, Mr. Goodere asked Mr. Wynn if he would swear on his solemn oath, as a publican. This caused a shsut of laughter. The advocate then said the conduct of the publican was disgraceful to the trade, and ho ought to be punished for his conduct. There was a mass of evidence given in the case, but it was not deemed sufficient, and the prisoners were discharged. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—George Binks, a person in the employment of Messrs. Pickford, was charged with em bezzling sums of money, belonging to his employers. It appeared, by the evidence given, that, on the 20th October, the prisoner received a sum of El 5s 2d from Messrs. Haylock and Co., of Lydia Anne street; and, o❑ the 23rd of the same month, he received £1 11s ld from Messrs. Kenworthy, both on account of his employers, but had not returned the money, nor did he account for it. He was sent for trial. SHOP LIFTING —Thomas Thompson was charged with hav ing stolen a pair of hoots from the shop of Mr. Henry Colman, of Byrom street. The prisoner went into the shop, seized the boots, and ran away with them. He was followed, and the boots were taken from him. He was sent to gaol for two months. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD, ASSAULTIN G THE POLICE.—John Walters, and John Turner, were charged with having assaulted police-of f ice 185, in Bolton street. The prisoners were fighting in the street, when the officer interferred to prevent them ; when they turned on the officer and knocked him down. They were fined £ 1 each.—Thomas Newsham was charged with having assaulted constable 641, in Boundary street. The prisoner was dis orderly in the street, when the policeman interfered, and then he was assaulted. A fino of £1 was imposed on him. —John Roberts was charged with having committed a violent assult on officer No. 420, in Scotland road. The prisoner knocked down the officer, and kicked him severely. Ho was fined officer 296 .

MIS MI a The Chairman : That is just exactly the conclusion I came to—that the thing is settled—and that my offer, which I thought was a concession, has been rejected. It was rejected by three out of four of the committee. Mr. Shaw read me the Act of Parliament. The overseer, Mr. Bairstow, met my proposal for is 6 , 1 by a counter— proposal of Is. Mr. Owen has tole you whit his opinion is, and, therefore, I considered at the time that the thing was closed. Mr. Owen now tells you that the thing is closed—that I have not a leg to stand on—and he applies the act, which is confined entirely to St I. tin's Cemetery, and has nothing whatever to do with Walton, which is but an extension of the parish churchyards—he applies that act to Walton Cemetery. Perhaps it may be so. It is a question which must be settled in a court of law. Mr. Shaw, at the time of the discussion, threatened tee with the general vestry. Mr. Shaw : I beg your pardon, sir, I did nothing of the kind. The Chairman ; You told me the general vestry would revise my fees. Mr. Shaw : I said they had the power to do so, but I did not hold it out as a threat. The Chairman I have not the least possible doubt that Mr. Shaw may carry any vote against me in the general vestry which he pleases, because, however humiliating the confession may be after 35 years service in the parish, I am obliged to confess that in the general vestry, I have no influence whatever—not the slightest influence in the general ves•ry whatsoever. My own friends, or at least those who ought to be my friends, do not choose to come down to support me, and any vote upon the subject may be carried. But, then, the vestry has not the power to revise the fees. The church commissioners are the only persons who can fix a table of fees in the parish, and even they can only do that with the consent of the vestry and the bishop of the diocese. They did fix a new table of fees in the year 1829, which table of fees, I maintain, applies to the whole parish, and to the Walton Cemetery, which is a part of that parish. The Walton Cemetery is an extension of the parish churchyard, and in the parish churchyard lam entitled to a fee of 3s, and I believe it will be found that I am entitled to the same fee of 3s in the Walton Cemetery. Of course, if that be illegal. the qu stion can be decided, and, as Mr. Owen said, I do not see what else can be done. Ido not wish to go into these sort of questions at my time of life. I don't want to raise the question, and no doubt all sorts of things will be said of me for raising it. I shall be accused of covetousness, avarice, and all sorts of epithets will be applied to me. But such is not the case. lam now past 70, and I do not particularly wish to enter into any contest. But, at the same time, an Act of Parliament has been passed securing me a pecuniary payment, and all the fees which have been hitherto received. Now, I dare say the commissioners will not give up any of their rights, and I do not see why 1 should be expected to give up any of mine. I, of course, shall consult with the Bishop as to the best mode of protecting my own rights and those of my successors, and the bast plan will belt the vestry would consent to take the opinion of a court of law, without pleadings, upon the subject. That is the quickest and least expensive mode of deciding the subject—to take the opinion of a court of law without pleadings. Mr. Denton said the reason why he opposed the introduction of the discussion was because the question was referred by the vestry to the finance committee, and by the finance committee to a sub-committee; and he contended that the vestry had no right to take up the subject at all, until the sub-committee had made their report to the finance committee, and the latter body to the vestry, when the members would be enabled to give a deliberate opinion upon it. He believed that the vestry at present was placed in a false position. The Chairman : I had to answer a question—l had to set right what I considered erroneous. Mr. Bairstow did not understand at all that the committee had entered upon the question last Friday. They merely had a little confidential conversation upon the subject among themselves, and it was understood that nothing should be entered upon the minutes. He certainly did suggest to the Rector and the gentlemen present that it would be well if they could arrange the matter comfortably and amicably, by adopting ls. for burial and registration included. That was simply a hint thrown out by himself—be did net make any motion to that effect. It was neither seconded nor taken up in any way, and he could not agree with the rector that his offer was either accepted or rejected, or that any decision was come to at that meeting beyond a simply confidential conversation among themselves. It was fully understood, he thought, that they were to enter upon the business as soon as the churchwarden, Mr. Woodruff, could make it convenient to attend. The Chairman : Remember the length of time which had elapsed. My letter was read at the vestry on the 16th of September. The whole month of October I was here, and this part of November. However, Ido not want to go any further into the question. The question then dropped, and the minutes of the committee confirmed. ROMAN CATHOLIC PUPIL TEACHERS Mr. Satchell rose to propose, according to notice, a motion to the effect that " the board having considered the circumstances of the late resolution to appoint three additional pupil teachers, Roman Catholics, were of opinion that the present condition of the schools did not justify such an appointment, and therefore rescinded that resolution." In the most amazingly, oratorical style, and with startling accompaniments of tone and gesture, Mr. Satchell delivered the following harangue : The very great importance of the subject which I have undertaken to bring before you this morning will require that I trespass upon your time for a few minutes longer than I usually do : and I have to ask you to bear with me while I go a little into the details of this question. It will also be necessary that I touch the religious chord ; and here again I have to ask your attention, for I find that it is not possible to make this a purely secular ques tion, and the more I trace its motive, and the more I consider its origin, the more do I become convinced that the secular is only the phantom, and the religious is the substance we have to grapple with. I desire to approach the subject with fairness and with firmness ; I offer no gratuitous insult to any one ; I deal not with aim, I deal with systems, and I recoil from the idea of sacri ficing one iota of my own principles to gratify any party. My views are well known to you, and in the elucidation of this matter, I will make my wishes as transparent as possible. The discussion that will arise out of this motion will divide itself into two heads. Ist. The Secular, and next the Religious. At the last meeting of the board you had a picture drawn of the secular; it was taken from life, but it s di stort i on was grea t, a nd its colouring was excessive. I have this day to present before you a picture also taken from life, and I am pre pared to prove its correctness at every point—every line shall be truth, and every lint without exaggeration. Having paid an official visit to the schools, I have ascer tained the following facts, and submit them to your consideration ; and in order that there may be no mis understanding by any gentleman at the board, it may, perhaps, be well to state that the Roman Catholic and Protestant children receive precisely the same amount of secular instruction, they are mingled together in classes, and are taught by the respective masters without any reference to creed. (Hear, hear.) They all alike receive the best instruction it is in the power of the masters to give ; there is, in fact, no distinction made : so that on this head there really is no ground for complaint. I now come to a point important fur you to notice, and that is, the arrangement made at the times cf devotion. At seven o'clock in the morning the Protestant children are assembled for prayer, which is conducted by the chaplain. At this time the Roman Catholic girls leave, and are conducted to one of the .. I ..,..,-- . class rooms, under the care of hiartha 111`Ardle, a s'ipen diary probationary servant. She is a Roman Catholic, and a person who, I am told, has very great influence over the children. The Roman Catholic boys are con- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING, 1856, Tuesday, November 11. The AINTREE PLATE (handicap) of 5050v5. for all ages.

Our market to-day was much better attended, and holders being more willing to meet the views of buyers, a tolerably fair amount of business has been transacted in wheat at a reduction of 3d per bushel from the currencies of this day week; in American descriptions the demand ran chiefly upon red, white samples being comparatively ne g lected, and for middle class and low wheats of any s or t wehad but little enquiry. A small attendance of farmers at market to-day, whose supplies were not large: the condition was variable, and in most instances a decline of 2d per bushel had to be submitted to to promote business. Flour is still a slow trade, and the value is about is per sack and barrel lower. _ . . . Egyptian beans remain scarce, and their - value slowly advances, being quotable 6d per quarter over that of Tuesday last. Prime oats support previous rates, but common kinds are fully Id per bushel, and new oatmeal tid per load cheaper. Indian corn has fully recovered the decline of Friday for mixed and yellow, and is even a trifle above this day week, with a good business doing ; in white few transac tions have taken place. R.

A PARISIAN ADVENTURE;—A tradesman of Ls Chapelle St. 113?nis recently made the acquaintance of a pretty young woman whom ha was accustomed to meet in the street. and on Saturday she gave him a rendezvous in her chamber at a time when she said her husband would be absent. At the appointed hour he went to her, and she, in receiving him, so contrived as to cause him to stand with his back to a closet. After they had exchanged a few words, the closet door was flung open, and the young tradesman was felled to the ground by a violent blow on the head ; at the same moment, a man stepping from the closet began beating him with a stick, and heaping abuse on him for, as he said, trying to seduce his wife. The woman, in apparent terror. :implored him to spare the young man, and take vengeance on her, as she alone, she said, was guilty; but the man pushed her from the room, and then, after making some grand phrases about the wrong which the young man had contemplated doing him, and about the right he had to take terrible vengeance on him, he said that if the other:would give him a bill for 300 f he would let him go, and would not even prosecute him before the tribunals. The tradesman signed the bill and left, but he immediately made a declaration to the a a n n d wa th s e n y ot ar h r i e s s w te i d fe, th sh e e m a a ls n o . t u h t a t el h a o t c t c h u e r r lv e o d m , nani's Messenger.
