D. RANKINE, Secretary NEW YEAR'S ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN MESSRS. MILNER TO THEIR WORKMEN (in Friday evening last, Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, inventors, and sole manufacturers of their own cele brated fire-resisting Safes, Deed-boxes, and Gunpowder magazines, gave a sumptuous and splendid entertainment at their extensive works (in Lord-street and Cable-street,) to the numerous workmen in their employ, and to a number of gentlemen, friends of the fira-, who werein vited as guests on the interesting occasion. An excellent dinner. consisting of the most substantial viands, in the wake of which followed plum pudding and other etceteras, with wines, spirits, ale, and (tor the temperance portion of the company) capital liqueurs, was served up at three long tables, presided over by Mr. Milner, senior,—at the head of the centre board—supported by a son on each side ; the vice-chair being occupied by Mr. John Owens, the foreman of the concern. The room was most appropriately and elegantly deco rated with festoons of evergreens, roses, &c., and over the chair was fixed an ornamental canopy of crimson dra pery. One end was illuminated by a crown in jets of gas, and at the other were similarly emblazoned the initials, V. 11., with a device illustrative of the - valuable invention of the givers of the feast, bearing the inscription in blaz ing letters " Milners' Fire Tamer," surmounted by Nep tune's Trident supporting the figures "212," indicating the degree of ht at at which the fire-safes on their princi ple become available by supplying internal vapour to re sist the action of the strongest fire. About 130 sat down to the repast ; this number com prising about 100 of the operatives of the zoncern, all in their respactable holiday attire, and about 30 gentlemen who had been invited. Amongst the latter were Mr. Samuel Woods, jun. ; Mr. Richard Woods, Mr. Salt, secretary of the Polytechnic Society ; Mr. Arnitt, ma nager of the new Gas and Coke Company. and with him Mr. Bright, cousin of Mr. Bright, M,P. for Durham ; Mr. C. J. Smith, of the New Gas Company ; Mr. Arstall, and others of cur townsmen and neighbours. After the dinner the usual loyal toasts were given from the chair, and received with the most patriotic feeling. That of the " Queen" was followed by the national an them, sung by the whole company, upstanding, and led by .Mr. Crawford, a gentleman in the employ, who intro duced some new and appropriate verses. The others were also marked by glees, or musical honours. Mr. WM. MILNER, (the junior partner) being now called upon for a toast, said be had great pleasure in com plying, and in proposing that they should drink prosperity to " British Industry"—for be made no distinction as to locality, and wished to include all industrious workmen, Fnglish, Irish, Scotch, and Welsh. He honoured them all, for they made, in dutifully pursuing their several avocations, the best husbands, the best fathers, and the best subjects, and this was in a great degree to be attri buted to the religious feeling and love of country that pervaded them. He eloquently urged the encourage ment of industry amongst- the whole of our fellow countrmen, and sat down amidst loud cheers Mr. W. CRUSE, one of the workmen, here appropri ately sang " England —we ne'er shall see her like again." Mr. JAMES WALKER MILNER, youngest son of Mr. Milner, senior, here gave the toast of "The Town and Trade of Liverpool," which was drunk with great ap plause, and followed by the song of " Life on the Ocean Wave," by Mr. John Strange, one of the work men—spiritedly executed and loudly applauded. Messrs. Weal and Philips, also in the employ, then fa voured the company with a clever and gratifying obligato onthe violin and horn, introducinganumber of popular airs. The CHAIRMAN, having called upon his active fore man, who acted as vice at the lower end of the room, for a toast or sentiment, Mr. OWENS requested that each should fill a bumper, for he should propose their worthy entertainers, " Mes srs Milner and Son," who were truly kind and consider ate employers. The gentlemen present would appreciate their hospitality to themselves, and with regard to their kindness and indulgence as masters—their uniform cour tesy and consideration—he could himself speak from an experience of seventeen years. (Cheers.) To see, as at that joyous meeting, two classes who were essential to each other, though in different grades of life, thus render ing themselves mutually social, was indeed delightful. He concluded by proposing health, happiness, long life, and prosperity to Thos. Milner and Son. (Great cheering.) The CHAIRMAN begged to return his sincere shanks for the handsome manner in which the toast has been given and received. He sincerely wished all happiness through life to his workmen, and also to their wives, relatives, and sweethearts. (Great cheers and laughter.) Glee by Mr. Weal, sweetly sung, " Plenty and Joy." . .

Milner's safes to the severest tests along with those of others, and the former had distanced all competitors. He had made a record of its success, and considered it an honour to the Society to bring it forward. It was, in truth, one of the greatest boons that had ever been gained by the country. The contents of all the other boxes were reduced to tinder! those in Milner's were taken out, after the same ordeal, as fresh as when they were put in. 7 (Great cheering.) —she knows much the better, for it is for ever.

Both bore suit able inscriptions to that effect. Mr. OWEN (the foreman), on his health being drunk, with a high compliment, said that nothing was due to him of encomium. His object had been, and ever should be. to give satisfaction to masters and to men, without in fringing on the rights of either. (Cheers.)

Michelet, under this title, with a brief des on of its general scope and object, which we may here repeat to be that of exposing and overthrowing the baleful influence which the priesthood of the Church of Rome, in foreign countries, are in the habit of exercising over the female portion of their flocks. We now proceed lichelet, the mode in to trace, with M ,ich the c isional is made the instrument by which such unhol influence is attained and wielded. The following intro ductory picture is dr master hand " Do you see that solemn 1 gold and purple of his pontif ure, adorned th all the ng, with the thought, the prayer of a multitude of 10,000 men, the triumphal steps in the choir of St. Denis ? Do you see him still, above all that kneeling mass, hovering as high as the vaulted roofs, his head reaching the capitals, and lost among the winged heads of the angels, whence he hurls his thunder? Well, it is the same man, this terrible archangel himself, who presently descends for he' and now, mild and gentle, goes yonder into that d' chapel, to listen to her in the languid hours of noon ! Delightful hour of tumultuous, but tender sensa tions ! (Why does the heart palpitate so strongly here !) How dark the church becomes! Yet it is not late. The great rose window over the portal glitters with the setting sun. But it is. quite another thing in the choir; dark shadows envelope it, and beyond its obscurity. One thing astounds and almost frightens us, however far we may be, which is the mysterious old painted glass at the farthest end of the church, on which the designs is no longer distinguishable, twinkling in the shade like an illegible magic scroll of unknown characters. The chapel is not less dark on that account; you can no longer dis cern the ornamants and delicate moulding entwined in the vaulted roof ; the shadow deepening blends and confounds the outlines. But, as if the chapel were not yet dark enough, it contains, in a retired corner, a narrow recess of dark oak, where that man, all emotion, and that trembling woman, so close to each other, are tvhispering together about the love of 'God." And who is the party—what have been the previous training and course of discipline by which he, who is he after- thus placed as an interpreter between weak woman and her maker, is enabled to bear himself scathless through the ordeal to which be is submitted. Condemned to en forced celibacy, he has nevertheless been familiarized to to the contemplation of every conceivable species of human frailty and vice, Besides the printed books of standard authority which reveal such an awful amount of grossness, their copy books used during the two conclud ing years of their preparation for the confessional con- tain, M. Michelet tells us, questions upon crimes practices of unimaginable atrocity, unknown in the worst ages of barbarism, and probably not perpetrated at all, "except by the brutal soldiers of the Duke of Alva, or by the exiled, lawless, and godless band which Wallen stein drew after him—a wandering mass of iniquity, which would have:been abhorred by ancient Sodom."

All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. The grass withereth ; the flower fadetn : but the Word of our God shall stand for ever."—lsaiah, chap. xl., verses 6 and 7. The charac ter of Mr. Blacow was pourtrayed with great fidelity and affection. The congregation were forcibly reminded of bygone days, when their talented minister stood almost alone in Liverpool as a burning and shining light in the established church.

His discourses are invariably characterized by simplicity, accuracy of gospel truth, and general usefulness. He is frequently eloquent in the highest sense of that term- and always faithful in his ap peals to the heart and conscience of bis hearers—evidently desirous to win souls to the Redeemer. He seems to have imbibed much of the Apostle's spirit when he said, " I am determined to know nothing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified."
