TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 19, 1846 The London Times, of yesterday, contains a very powerfully written article on the subject of the strike in the building trades. Our contemporary enters into an elaborate explanation of the state of the law as it affects combinations of workmen generally, and after quoting the opinions of several of the judges bn the subject, gives the enactment of the 6th Geo. TV., c. 129. Under this statute, the Times (no mean authority) asserts with confidence that the "United Trades' Mutual Protection Society of Man- chester; Sal vicinities," might be,sup.- pressed without difficulty, by criminal proceedings. We would ask our operative friends seriously to lay to heart the advice tendered in the passage sub- On the whole it will hardly be denied that these ons, whether of employers or employed, and purposes they may be formed, are both im ad consequentially highly injurious to the Whilst they last they fester discon v, gives rein to seditious and designing ' snd derange the for what mediately of society tent, create y flow of whole system ey are over, t a remembrance of ancied oppression, and -in short, a general etings of reciprocal reliance Id never be absent from the In.

Our colonists are about to withdraw the protection, hitherto afforded in their markets, to the woollens, the cottons, the silks, the hardware, and other pro ductions of British industry, and to admit the products of other countries to a participation in their supply. The coarse fabrics of the United States are to cross the frontier, and enter into the consumption of the Canadas• free from the imperial duty at present levied upon them; and thus a tie— the tie of increased commercial intercourse—is to be established between two countries hitherto estranged from and jealous of each other, which may ultimately lead to a still closer connexion. The imports of the Canadas are no longer to he drawn exclusively from the mother country, to be carried in British bottoms, to employ British capital and British industry. These. merchants and others of Montreal tell us that they are about to become, commercially, an independent people; and we ask the Guardian to tell us how we are to prevent them becoming, politically, an independent nation, or a state of the neighbouring republic, which is pre pared, and will readily grasp at the opportunity to bring them within the confederation. We have warned the Legi3lature and the public against placing too much dependence upon any expression of opinion which might come to us from these very parties, whose resolutions the Guardian thinks are entitled to such vast weight. The mer chants and inhabitants of Montreal are not the Canadian people. Their interests are not Canadian interests. They are not entitled, above all, to be considered as the exponents of either the opinions or the wishes of the agricultural people of Canada West. by far the most important interests in these Happily, these very resolutions afford us confirmation of the views which we have all along expressed, and shadow very clearly the motives by which the parties to them are actuated. We give the next resolution to enable our readers to trace colonies these motives with us : "4.

Yet we find not a step taken, or a word uttered, against that bill. We give the following description of it from the Church and State Gazette : " If the Charitable Trusts Bill should bring within its reach the great societies which regulate_the church--such as the Society for Propagation of Christian Knowledge, the Church Building Society, the National Society, &c., all of which receive legacies on trust—it will become an instrument of overwhelming power. The commis sioners will have more power over England than the Poor Law Commissioners. A bill for the compelling the v• v••• •••••+•+•........ • publication of •, charities may do good ; but, unless its powers are most accurately defined, the commis sioners will have a terrible rule over church mat ters; and, through them, the administration of the day. The authority of the Poor-Law Commissioners does not extend beyond England ; but it may be that the authority le,. am', herever reach. Surely this is a power that ought to be vested in parliament only. If the practice of establishing cinninis sions—that is, perpetual commissions—is to be extended, the real power of the empire will be drawn to theta, and through them, to the existing Ministry, who may, at their pleasure, create or dissolve, and pay and influence, all such bodies." Why do not Englishmen bestir themselves to pre vent the passing of such a Bill ? One would ima gine that the mere facts here stated, independent of its operation - upon local charities, would be sufficient to raise a torrent of opposition against it. But, alas, we seem to have fallen into the " slough of des pond." We seem waiting for some measure, which is to upset the powers of human patience. TESTIMONIAL OF ESTEEM TO THE REV, CHARLES MARSHALL, OF ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH, TOXTETH-PARK. On Tuesday evening last, a meeting of a majority of the Sunday-school teachers connected with the above church was held in Toxteth Hall, Mill-street, (Mr. Hunton in the chair,) for the purpose of presenting the above-named rev. gentleman with a mark of their appro bation on his relinquishing the curacy of St. Thomas's, after a memorial having been unanimously signed by the congregation to appoint him to the vacant incumbency. Not having been successful, he retired from the scene of his labours in the park, where be has been engaged for the last eighteen months, with the good wishes of thou sands of the poor, towards whom he has acted, in spiritual and temporal matters, in the most Christian-like and be coming manner The testimonial consists of a handsome silver ink-stand, in the centre of which is a wafer-stand, richly surmounted with the "figure of Innocence sitting under a tree," and on each side two superbly glass inkstands on a beautifully elevated tray, on feet and raised edges, on which is the following inscription :—" Presented to the Rev. Charles Marshall by the teachers of St. Thomas's Church Schools. May 12th, 1846." The reverend gentleman has also been presented with numerous valuable presents from indivi dual members of the coneregation. The Rev. Gentleman delivered a very feeling and ani mated address on the occasion, in the course of which he urged all his hearers to persevere in the maintenance of those great Protestant principles which it had been his dut; to instil into them, and which it should be his pride and pleasure to continue to defend throughout the re mainder of his earthly career. After the followini . hymn (selected by a committee of the teachers for the occasion) had been sung, the meeting separated, taking farewell of their beloved and much• respected pastor :- 1 _ I Thou messenger of Christ, His sovereign voice obey ; The Master whom thou serv'st will needful strength besto Depending on His promised aid, with sacred courage go. Mountains shall sink to plains, and hell in vain oppose : The cause is God's and will prevail, in spite of all thy foes CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY I The annual meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary to the Church Missionary Society was held_ yesterday in the theatre of the Collegiate Institution, and although the weather was most unfavourable there was a large and respectable assembly, the lower gallery and the body of the ball being filled. Shortly after eleven o'clock the Worshipful and Rev. Henry Raikes, Chancellor of the Diocese, took the chair, and the platform was speedily crowded by clergymen. The worshipful CHAIRMAN then proceeded briefly to open the business of the day. He observed that very few remarks were necessary from him to explain the nature of the business to be transacted, because it was satisfac tory to know that all present must be well acquainted with the nature and objects of the Church Missionary Society, and their yresence that morning, under such un favourable circumstances, showed the deep interest they felt for its welfare. From the very nature of the society it was manifest it must go on prosperously, for every suc- and produced a better acquaintance with the heathen world. (Hear.) God had given much success to their labours, and if they looked to him for his blessing they would be stimulated to come forward with renewed energy. He concluded with calling on the Rev. H. Carpenter, who opened the meeting with pravtr. The rev. gentleman then read the report of the cam- led — its inf mittee. This document, after noticing the Divine blessing which has attended the society's operations. remarked on the promising state of things in 'linnevelly, in Southern India. During little more than four years the converts there have doubled, and in the last year in that mission no fewer than 68 0 souls were con. verted to Christ ianty. This desire for Christian instruction has gone on increasing, and we have the recorded testimony of the Bishop of Madras, after a personal inspection of the labours of the missionaries in that region, that almost any number of faithful ministers would be immediately engaged, and each would find himself surrounded by 1500 or 2JOO attentive in quirers. In reference to Kishnaghur, in Northern India, the Archdeacon of Calcutta writes, after visiting several stations of our missions there, " At every station it did my heart good to see what was going on." In Western Africa, within the last eight years, seven new churches have been erected, a❑ of which are filled every Sabbath with devout worshippers. The society's labours in New Zealand, the West Indies, North West America, Cev lon, British Guiana, China, at the Himalaya Moun tains, not far from the banks of the Sutledj, have been greatly blessed. With regard to the society's finances, there is a de ficiency in the amount contributed this year as compared with the year before of £2791. The total amount received last year was £102,458, and in the preceding year it was £105,247. But of the deficiency £200.) comes under the head of legacies, al ways a fluctuating source of income. There is alto a deficiency in the amount received by the Liverpool Auxiliary. In tile year before last the Auxiliary received X 2199 16s. gd., while this year only £lB7l 15s. gd. have been received, showing a falling off of .e 328. A considerable portion of this deficiency in Liver. pool is to ue traced to the absence of special donations, and to other causes not indicating, it is hoped, any diminution of interest in the society. The report concluded by referring to the principles of the Church Missionary Association. as a faithful iei , cher of Evangelical truth, and a faithful witness agai,st Romish error. The great Protestant principles for which our Reformers died at the stake have, from the first, guided the society, and from these, with the Divine blessing, the society is resolved never to swerve. _ _ _ The Rev. J. H. STEWATIT moved the adoption of the `, , ind the appointment of officers for the ensuing year; and, in doing so, drew attention to the fact of the anniversary meeting of the Parent Society, held in Lon don last week, being more numerously attended than usual, and to the animation which prevailed, as indicative of increased exertion in behalf of the missionary cause. At that meeting there were four bishops, several noble men, several members of parliament, and a host of the most influential clergy ; and he trusted the noble example set in the metropolis would not be lost upon Liverpool, but that the merchants and influential persons in this town would come forward and give a tone to their proceedings. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. R. DAVIES, secretary to the Parent Society, seconded the motion in a lengthy and eloquent address. He said it afforded him exceeding pleasure to return to Liverpool after so long an absence, to endeavour to excite report There were man peril sons to bless God for the success which had attended the efforts of the Church Missionary Society. He could and this, whether preached in a ch'rch, cr from a pulp formed on a rock. having the canopy of heaven for temple, or beneath . the shade of a green tree. (L, heers.) He woula venture to asset[ that the sermons preached upon a rock, on the mountain's side, or in the wigwam of an Indian, more evangel'cal than ever had been preached in the most polished pulpit puritanism ever destroyed, or that ever was restured. (Loud cheers.) The Church of England, in her missionary character throug'aout the world, was the real representative of the reformation, and the Church 'Mis sionary Society appeared in her most apostolic as well as her most catholic aspect, when she was extending her borders and sending forth the everlasting gospel to heathen nations yet in darkness. (Loud cheers.) Another cha racteristic of it was, that it tended to bring the heathen world and the different members of the church into fellow ship, one with another; not merely into that unity v, hich produces little more than uniformity, but into that bond of brotherhood, that spirit of Christianity, animates the Church Missionary Society. (Ap They who had assembled that day were w that what bound them together vv,,s the common cause of their God and Saviour to promote the eternal welfare of fellow-mortals. (Hear, hear.) There were some present who might be considered chroniclers of the past tion. Their venerable chairman was the rep of a generation which had passed away. H nected with some of the earliest founders of ti sentati and he trusted he might long live to bear his testimony amongst them to the labours of its earliest supporters. (Loud cheers.) He was a witness that in the early period of its existence there were few such gatherings as this, and that which had recently taken place in London. Some, however, objected to their proceedings, because there was excitement. Why, were not our soldiers ex cited ? Was there not excitement amongst our sailors when they were expecting to be engaged ? We had seen a good deal of excitement in Parliament only the other day. Was there not excitement on our Exchange when stocks were up. or the market was good, and was it not right, then, to be excited to the immeasurably higher ob jects affecting the eternal welfare of man ? (Cheers.) Was it right that they should be excited merely as regarded earthly objects, and when, as Christians, they saw the whole world lying in wickedness, no holy zeal should burn in their breast as Britons? (Applause.) If the excitement which animated the first founders of the society bad been merely an ephemeral excitement, it would long since have died away. There could be no con tinued flame, unless there was something solid for it to feed upon. _ Not long ago the prospects of the society were most cheering. It was thought this institution was going far towards harmonising the brethren throughout the church, but there arose a party in Oxford who would have union on other than Christian grounds. (Hear, hear.) At the time referred to he could recollect numbers of the clergy were coming forward to join the society, and the church of England was becoming happy, harmonious, and as one man. Many were now set up in opposition ; but the spectacle of the heathen world was now exhibiting to them how brethren could dwell together in unity. (Cheers.) He recollected, when a your,,, on his way to college, being in Liverpool during severe store- He saw' the docks full of vessels were driven against each other with such force as to be likely to stave each other's sides in. He was enjoying the scene with all the ardour. of youth under the shelter of a wall, :to prevent his being blown down, when a Jack Tar came up and remarked that it was a pity the vessels were pent up in the dock, where they were doing injury to each other; for if they were out at sea, there would be no such danger, and they should not come near each other, except to ask " how fares it with you ?" So it was with religion at home. They were in danger of knocking each other to pieces; but when they went forth as brethren against the commo❑ enemy of mankind, on the broad field of heathen ism, they never came near each other unless it were to ask bow they fared, and to wish each other good luck in the name of the Lord. (Loud cheers.) The way, too, in which m'ssionary exertions tended to open out commerce, was a subject to which too little attention had been directed.

THE STRIKE OF THE 1 - STII.DING OPERA" TIVES.-MEETING OF THE MASTERS. A numerous (weekly) meeting of tl cattracters, &c., was held at the Portic master bui iterdav, when had obtained it was retorted by many of them that t as missy joiners as they at present required A letter was read from Mr. Rotch, of London, in which he stated that an application had been made to him from a number of workmen in the West of England ; that a great many of them, of various trades, were willing to come to Liverpool, if their expenses were paid ; and that they were willing to enter into a contract ; or, in other words, to be hired to do the required work in the locality. It was decided to defer for a tortnight the consideration of Mr. Rotch's letter, as a number of the workmen here had left their unions, and come in ; and as it was feared that, if the proposition were acceded to. the town would become so filled with strangers, that, during the autumn and winter, many of the Liverpool and Birkenhead men would be unemployed ; and many of the matters did not le prevailing I 1 abandon pinion that great numbers of the men N , ;' u the unions, if they dared to do so. A letter was read from Manchester rules of the Ma3ters ng that the Association we ady, and that a general meeting of the masters froty , the various towns in these districts, would take place either at Newton or at Manchester within a few days. Mr. S. HOLBIE then brought forward his motion for the establishment of a General Benefit Society, (alluded to in our last report,) on the principle adopted by the various Metropolitan Assurance Companies, and entered into a lengthened statement of his views on the subject. The proposition was most favourably received by all present, and the subject was considered so important that, for the purpose of carrying it out on a more extended basis, it was considered advisable to report it to the next general meeting of the whole associated bodies of tradesmen to be held at Newton or Manchester. Mr. Holrne remarked that the proposition was most cordially viewed by all per sons to whom he had mentioned it, and he read an able letter from a b. nerolent gentleman of this town, who had long taken a warm interest in Benefit Societies. After some excellent remarks from Mr. Wylie, Mr. Dempster, Mr. James, Mr. Holt, and others, and the transaction of some routine business, the meeting ad journed to Monday, the 25th instant. ALARMING RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS NEAR THE CLA. RENCE Docx : —A riot took place near the Clarence Dock last night, which, though arsiing from a comparatively slight cause, was soon, partly from ignorance, and partly from the spirit of mischief that lurks amongst a portion of the dock labourers, and especially the " navies," and the boys, women, and others of that densely populated locality, threatened for a considerable time dangerous consequences, and caused great alarm amongst the peaceable portion of the inhabitants.— It appears that an emigrant ship called the Rap oabannoc;i bad received on board in the Victoria Dock 460 steerage passengers, her complement being, according to her tonnage, only 450. The government emigration agent of the port having gone on board and ascertained the fact, ordered the chief mate, Mr. Cushen, to transfer the ten extra passengers last entered to another, and we believe equally fine vessel, the Ocean. The mate ou announcing the fact in the steerage, that ten of those in the vessel must relinquish their places, was answered by shouts and yells from the whole of the parties intending to go by her. An absolute refusul to quit was, of course, the result. In this state of affairs, the government agent told Mr. Cush en that he must exert himself to get rid of the supplement of passengers, and he employed the steward, we believe, to effect this object. A rope was fastened round the body of the most uproarious malcontent, which eventually fas tened on his ankles, and he was hauled up by it from un der the deck, partly in a frolic, and partly as an example to the others who had to leave. The man, thus rather roughly handled, arid probably subject to fits, fell into, or threw himself into a fit; and when being carried on shore, and afterwards to the Northern Hospital, a hue and cry mate was raised that lie was dead. an t i th.r was the aggressor and the caus (who is stated to us to be a Cushen, lemanly and humane the minds of the de- Leness on ly removed a little distance, the word and their masters ,rg sense may come too y offer themselves for work Capital is like the stream aral current will find itself This is a fact and no e accounts attest it.

The whole question is here resolved into a mer- cantile question. The merchants of Montreal want the carriage and the forwarding of the Western States of America • and the interests of the agri culturists of Canada West are as nothing in the balance, as compared with the carrying out of ibis The Guardian concludes his article with the fol lowing cool assumption " We trust that the proceedings of this meeting will put an end to the foolish cry about the dissatisfaction and probable loss of the North American colonies." We can assure him, however, that the proceedings of this meeting will effect no such thing ; and, for very best reason, that they are not conclusive with respect to the opinions of the people of Canada. If the Guardian had not been a little disingenuous, he would probably have SEEN, and conveyed to his readers, the following very opposite story, contained in a memorial addressed to the throne, by the merchants and others of Quebec, and which came out for presentation by the Caledonia : Humb!v showeth,—That your petitioners view with serious alarm the measures introduced by your Majesty's ministers in the Imperial Parliament, affecting, as they do, the principal exports of your Majesty's possessions in British North America, by encouraging other nations more favourably situated to enter into successful compe tition with them. _ _ _ "That the long and tedious navigation of the St. Law rence, the shortness of the shipping season, and the dan gers of the coast, especially in the months of October and November, add materially to f.eights and insurances, and renaer successful competition with the foreigner, either in corn or timber, a matter of great difficulty, and of utter That although a protection of 245. is now granted on the timber provinces, the freights from the Baltic average 17s. 6d. per load, while those from ( _ . making a difference in favour of the producer in the north of Europe of 21s. 3d. per load, and when insurance is considered, making the protection now given a mere equivalent to the difference of freight. Moreover, should the further contemplated reduction 0f.55. in 1847. and ss. in 1848 take place, giving a direct boon to this extent to the foreign producer, who, in- comparison to the colonist, gives little encouragement to the British manufacturer. " That the effect of the changes in the tariff in the port of Liverpool has been to increa3e the foreign tonnage em ployed in carrying deals and timber upwards of 300 per cent. since 1842, while the British shipping employed in the same trade with these cclonies has only increased to effects of the modificatiOns in 1842, the inevitable result of further relaxation will be ruinous to both the British shipowner and colonists. " That, independenly of the encouragement given to the North of Europe to compete with your Majesty's Colonial possessions in North America, the effect of the changes now referred to will be to add another compe- titior7, namely, the Unitel States of America, especia in the article of pitch pine, (resembling the red pine the colonies, but superior to it,) staves, and oak timber, the produce mostly, if not entirely, of slave labour. " Your petitioners most humbly pray that your Ma jesty will consider favourably their petition, and allow the timber, and Is on colonial; that your Majesty will cause to be levied a duty on staves, as this article affords con stant employment to colonial shipping on the inland lakes; and further, that DO alteration be made in the duties on sawed timber, which, if altered as contemplated, will ruinously affect many who have embarked large capi tal in the erection of saw mills, under the impression that, in any change of duties, the situation of these provinces, their distance from their mother country, the immense employment they give to British shipping, and their being such large consumers of British manufactures, duly would be considered, and that protection equivalent to the difference of freight would at least be guaranteed to them, as even then, they only meet the foreign pro ducer in the home markets on equal terms. " That to a system of wise and judicious protection your Majesty's empire is indebted for its proud attitude among the nations of the earth ; and the present position of your Majesty's colonial possessions, is mainly attri 'buted to the same source. " Wherefore your petitioners most humbly pray that your Majesty will not sanction the contemplated modifi• petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray." This. document ought to be quite as conclusive as the Montreal resolutions, which the Guardian quotes with such an air of triumph. We can scarcely conceive that our contemporary, if aware of its existence, would have suppressed all mention of it ; at all events, in pure kindness, we give him the benefit of the doubt. We presume it is because the public mind is oc cupied with the important questions connected with the Commercial policy of the country, that blow af ter blow is levelled at the Constitution and against its Protestant character, without even the semblance of any popular dissatisfaction. Perhaps it is in part also that We are amazed at the tergiver - sation of Pub lic men that we cannot find language or leisure to express our feelings with respect to the measures which they propound to us. The Bills of Lord Lyndhurst in one House and Mr. Watson in the —.7 - other would, ii proposed whilst we were unoccupied with the consciousness of betrayal and outrage upon our feelings on the part of the Government and of Parliament, have aroused a storm of indignation throughout the land. They fall upon us now as disasters predicted and expected. There is no protest against them, although they tend to sweep away the last relics of Protestantism from the national character. Another bill, however, the Cha ritable Trusts Bill, we did expect to have stirred the phlegm of our population, inasmuch as it pro poses to set up one of those unconstitutional tribu- cheater To . the most guilty and depraved of Adam's num'rous race Asstir'ithtiiff;witO sends thee forth will all thy labours bless We understand that the Rev.

UTTERING BASE H ALF-CROWNS.-At the Police Court yesterday, a man in the garb of a mechanic was charged with uttering bad half-crowns to several shop keepers and dealers. Three or four of the base coin were produced. He was remanded for further evidence. LIBERAL DONATION.—We are happy to hear that the handsome sum of £3O was yesterday forwarded to the treasurer of the Liverpool Auxiliary of the Church Mis sionary Association, being a contribution to the funds of the Society from a member of the Presbyterian Church in this town. At a meeting of the Liverpool and Preston, and Man chester and Southport Railways shareholders at Man- on Saturday it was determined to the bill. The chaiiican, R. A. Thicknesse, Esq., said the assents represented more than five-sixths of the whole number of shares. We beg to call the attention of our readers to an adver tisement in this day's paper of two sermons to be preached for the Church Missionary Society by the Rev. Hugh Stowell and the Rev. F. Close. In another part of our paper we have given a report of the interesting meeting yesterday, and the collections in the various churcEes, on Sunday, as far as we have been able to ascertain their amounts. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—The opening cruise, for the yachts to sail round the light-ship and back, wilt' take place on Saturday. They start frona New Brighton, at eleven in the morning; and, if the weather should prove favourable, a pleasant day may be anticipated. The Edith, 70 tons ; the Psyche, 60 tons ; Fenella, 50 tons ; Osprey, 45 tons, a new yacht ; the Vision, just launched at Poole ; the Leda, Leander, Seagull, Gem, Petereq, Jane, and other yachts, are expected to join in the day's excursion. The vessels will sail under the broad pendant of the commodore. The first club sailing match of the season'will take place on the sth June. The prizes are very elegant, full particulars of which we shall be able to give in our next. 0 CAUTION TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS.—Yesterday, at the Police Court, a shabby•genteel youog man. named Wm. M`Kay, was charged by Mr. Jonathan Downham with having gone to his house (in his absence) in quest of lodgings, and on a promise of calling again when his re ferences were inquired into, taking advantage of the mo mentary advantage of Mrs. D., pocketting a silver per forated ladle, which was inarcediaetly missed. __When seized, the article was found in his pOssession. Several other parties, whom the prisoner bad treated in a similar manner, appeared against him. A flute was produced which be had purloined from one lodging-house; and a book from another; both of which were identified by the owners. Another, to whom he bad paid a visit with the same object, had missed a silver spoon and a pair of sugar y tongs. A box had also been stolen from a house in Rod- 'lout Ii appeared that the prisoner had been in the practice of scouring the town on the pretence of taking lodgings, and had seized hold of and carried off whatever was within his reach when he was unobserved. The evidence was taken so far, preparatory to his trial at house an umbrella CHARGE AGAINST A PRIEST OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—At the Police Court, yes terday, a well-dressed gray-headed man, named Robert Swaine, but who had latterly assumed the name of Staf ford Swaine, (the first being that 'of his mother) was brought before Mr. Rushton on a charge of having ob tained various sums of money from different parties, os tensibly for the re-building of a new chapel and priory, at (we believe) a town in Ireland called Millory. A woman named Mary Parker, and several other parties had been applied to by the prisoner fin. donations towards the ob ject stated .which be obtained. I t appeared that. the prisoner was a suspended Roman Catholic Priest. Dr. Kelly, of St. J ose ph 'a Roman Catholicehapel stated that hebelieved the prisoner bad no authority Whatever from his superior to collect money for such an object, and that a letter found, with others, upon him, purporting to be written by Dr.' Sharples, the Roman Cotholic bishop, and authorising him to collect money, was not in the handwriting of that gentleman. Another Roman Catholic clergyman in the court expressed a similar opinion. On the prisoner were found a book, with a heading or prospectus, as prefaratory to the names of donors for . and holding out to subscribers certain religious advantages that would accrue to them after the lapse of a twelvemonth. This book contained the names of many respectable parties in this town and neighbourhood, with sums appended as if sub scribed, but a considerable number of these were fictitious, they not having contributed, and those who had done so were, of course, imposed upon. Dr. Kelly stated that the prisoner on being suspended, was required by his supe rior, in order to purge him of the offence he had com mitted to do penance by a residence of twelve months at a priory in Rome, or some other part of the continent ; but he had not, it appeared, done so. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say, stated at some length that lie had resided for twelve months at (as we under stood him) Mount Henry, and that wishing to be rein stated as a priest he had come to this town to solicit sub- he objet seriptions, with a view to the rebuilding or tine UClAtJl dated chapel and priory of Mlilory. He added, that he had not made use of the letter purporting to be from Dr. Sharpies, or of the names of the parties in the subscription book who had not paid, but had merely written them as memorandums; but this admission only impressed his hearers with a conviction that fraud had been perpetrated. Mr. Rushton sent for Dr. Sharpies, the Roman Catholic vicar apostolic of the district, who pronounced the document purporting to be written by him to be a forgery. There was also a letter from a Mr. Maddock, a clergyman. also supposed to be a forgery. Amongst the witnesses against the prisoner was Mr. Richard Shiel, whose name appeared in the list ofalonors, and wbo it appeared had been imposed upon by the pri soner some three years ago. Mr. Rushton, after what was stated by Dr. Sharpies, committed the prisoner to gaol for three months under the vagrancy act. The advertisement of Mr. C. Wilmer, announcing the reduction of the price of the Daily News, for which he is agent, will be found elsewhere. interest excited in London at the last meeting of the so- that he could not get within six yards of the door of Exe ter Hall. If they looked back for a few years at the gra dually increasing progress the scciety had made, they would find abundant cause for thankfulness to God ; and whether they looked to the state of its funds or the num ber of persons now ready to engage in its service as mis sionaries. they would find that the expectation of its friends had been greatly surpassed. (Cheers, and hear, hear.) For the first four years of its existence, the chief object of the society was to endeavour to obtain mission. aries, and for that purpose they had correspondence with the clergy in various parts of the country ; but all their efforts were unsuccessful, and the first missionaries sent out were two Lutherans, from Germany ; and now, although there bad been a great increase in the number, yet the supply was by no means equal to the demand. (Hear, bear.) A great improvement, too, had taken place in the qualifications of the missionaries. The rev. gentleman then mentioned the case of two clergymen who bad left this country during last year, the superior qualifi cations they possessed, and prospects they had given up for the purpose of engaging in the work. Again, in a financial point of view, the society was abundantly pros pering ; and this, he said, notwithstanding the slight felling off which appeared in the report. (Hear, hear.) For many years, its income did not exceed a few hundred pounds, but for several years past it bad exceeded £lOO,OOO. (Cheers.) In the year 1815 or or 1816, the Rev. Josiah Pratt, one of the secretaries of the society, said he should not be surprised if he lived to roceed with see the day when itr-income reached £20,000, and the present Bishop of Calcutta, rather more sanguine, said it might reach £50,000. The Rev. Thomas Scott, who bad preached the first anniversary sermon in its behalf, thought that at some time, though far distant, natives might be so far taught as to be admitted to holy orders. So far bad all these expectations been exceeded, than the income of the society more than doubled the most sanguine expecta tion, and he was happy to add, that there vi ere ten native missionaries in holy orders, of whom the highest testi mony was borne to the success and usefulness of their la bours. The rev. gentleman then proceeded to notice the operations of the society in various parts of the world, and the new fields for missionary enterprise which were opening in the Punjaub and China. In the latter country there were three hundred and sixty millions of people ready to receive the gospel. The utmost toleration was now allowed in that country, but it was a sorrowful fact, that there was at present only one missionary, in con nection with the society in the whole of that extensive empire. The speaker then urged on the meeting the ne cessity of exertion in behalf of the finances of the society, and mentioned several pleasing instances attending con tributions to it. A. clergyman, residing in Norfolk, made it a point to contribute £5OO every year, and he had sent to the institution upwards of £6,000. (Hear, hear.) Lately, an artillery officer presented to it the sum of £7O, which, he said, he had received as his shire of the prize money from the Chinese war. On Thursday last, a gentleman, not very well dressed, called at the office in London, and asked to see one of the secretaries. He saw Mr. Venn, and handed to him seven Bank of England lo very we .es were all- good. meluded with an elec cheers 1 WhO the Ilk] the brit have merely to no work will be given t and mar Is brought poverty and dis produce Ireland factory ev of 1 en by ": chants There apprg pression of fear for Before prc spect to that por the cou Our contempor hanan -promised the protei ourselv amount of dis nd an absolute satisfactory The rev. gentleman _ behalf of the society , and sat down amid loud cheers L uent appeal in The Rev. R. HUGHES, Rector of Aberystwith, sup ported the motion, in a speech of some length. • The Rev. Dr. BYRTH, Rector of Wallasey, proposed the next resolution. The Church Missionary Society recognition of this principle in connection With the Church of England, it had conferred a great favour upon this country as a nation. It appeared to him that the society was not yet sufficiently appreciated. H e could not contrast what it had done with what it ought to have done, without coming to that conclusion. (Hear, hear.) Was it not very strange that the government of the world—and England had a large share of it—was it not strange that they did not properly appreciate such a society ? Again, how did it happen that merchants did not appreciate its value? Apart from anv religious consideration, the missionaries would be the best pioneers to open out fields for com merce where it is now unknown. (Hear, hear.) But the literary men of the world had not dole what they ought to have done in its behalf; nor had it been properly appre ciated even by the clergy and the members of the church generally. For himself he was willing to acknowledge that be had not sufficiently appreciated it and should be glad to give a proof of his intention to he more earnest in its behalf for the future. The Church Missionary Society stood prominently forward among the nations of the earth as the great character and genius of the Churchof England. (Loud cheers.) It brought the great doctrines of the Church always essentially before those amongst whom its missionaries went—the doctrines of her articles—the doc- trines of her formularies—the doctrines of her homilies — the doctrines of her pulpits—the doctrines of her martyrs —the doctrines of Christ, of a full and free salvation through the blood of an incarnate Redeemer, applied by divine grace. (Loud cheers.) The Church Missionary Society, therefore, demands a higher appreciation a more energetic support—from all classes in the Church of England than it had ever yet received. (Continued cheers.) The Rev. Canon STOWELL on rising to second the mo tion was received with loud cheers. lie had no reason to pledge himself as the last speaker had done not to occupy their time at any length, for time did not permit. He had to leave by the next train, the railway would not wait, and although the meeting was certainly not a cold one, yet the room was certainly of that description, and there fore it was necessary for the health of some that they should not be detained much longer. He could bear his testimony, too, to the deepened feeling which now existed in behalf of the Church Missionary Society. He felt it to others. The society by its exertions amongst the hea then produced a reflex benefit upon our native land. He conceived the organization of the society a most impor tant epoch in the history of the church. It did not origin ate a Christian spirit in the church, but it tended to stimulate and strengthen a Christian spirit amongst its members, and therefore it was a blessing to the land, for in individuals as in Churches if they became lifeless in their principles God would withdraw from them the light they already had. Christianity was like water, it must be kept finning or it became stagnant and filthy. So it was with the Gospel in the Church of Christ—it was to be kept flowing or it would lose its vitality. (Cheers.) It was only thus that the Church could boast of its apostolic succession. Its conduct during the days of the Apostles was onward, and those who relied upon Apostolic succes sion in any other way than this were building with the dead stones of human artifice instead of the polished and living stones piepared by the Spirit of God. (cheers.) The most Apostolic thing in this world was a truly Gospel sermon, was apparent in what was now going on in New Zealand. (Hear, hear.) What bad Christianity done ? It sNas gravely predicted that whoever went there as a missionary would soon be found in the belly of the Ca nibals. What, however, was the result ? Missionaries did go, and they succeeded in placing that land under :he sway of Queen Victoria, not, however, by the conquering sword of the warrior, but by the peaceable fruits of Chris tianity. Then what did colonization do ? She followed and turned the whole island upside down. It had injured the natives and robbed them of their property, and now bloodshed reigned where before all was peace and happi ness.' It had treated the natives as briers and thorns to be cut op and hewn down, but the object of the Missionary Society was to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah—to turn the brier into the myrtle, and the wilderness into a fruitful field. (Cheers.) The rev. gentleman then re ferred to the contributions from Manchester and Liver pool, and observed that there had been some rivalry be tween the two towns as to which should contribute most to its funds, and if Liverpool did not take care, Manches ter would beat th-rn. The latter was somewhat confined to its large brick buildings in its operations, but the Li verpool merchant had the whole world for his field, and therefore, he thought, had more opportunity for extensive usefulness. But Manchester had sent out as many mis sionaries as Liverpool. He thanked God that three of his own flock were labouring abroad as miss'onaries. There was something in the constant contact with a seafaring life which presented to the mind a love of travel their minds only be sanctified and hallowed, and then young men, instead of going abroad to see the world, or in search of lucrative situations—in search of the shining' dust which is of no value in the hour of death—would seek an infinitely more noble wealth than ever was exhi bited on their exchange. He confessed he could not help a blush from suffusing his face when he heard it stated that the Church Missionary Society had only one repre sentative in the Chinese empire. What was Rome doing? Did she leave the ground to be unoccupied? No ! She bad her sixty or seventy Jesuits spread over the face of the country. What was Liverpool doing ? He thought it was distinguished for its Protestantism, and yet they could not erect a college for education of a scriptural character, but a reptile Jesuitical institution must be erected in the same neighbourhcod—a poor imitation of it. (Loud cheers, and bear, hear.) The Church of Rome like a great snake was busily employed encircling the church in its folds, intending to crush it and with it all our liber ties, boht social and civil ; but by the help of the Lord it never shall be. (Loud cheers.) It was not merely the Church of Christ which they had to defend but our own liberties—our own glory as a nation. (Cheers.) Were there any young men present willing to go out to the heathen world as missionaries ? Were there any present ready to recruit for the army of the faithful ? He had no doubt there were hundreds in this town who would be delighted with cadetships in India, though they had to step into the places of those whose blood dyed the waters of the Sutlej. (Cheers.) How was it that the honor which came from man was so eagerly sought af ter when that which would endure for ever—the honour came from above was comparatively neglected? How was it that man should desire a place in the records of fame of this world when he vras regardless of the fame which would be recorded in the imperishable records of through the revolving ages of eternity. (Applause.) Another field for missionary enterprise was opened in the unjaub. He bad lately had an opportunity of break fasting with the good bishop of Calcutta whom he was thankful to be able to say was about returning to India with renovated health and renewed energy of mind, to lay, as he said, his bones in his Episcopate. His lordship f told him that when sailing on the waters of the Sutlej, said to himself, " I take possession of the l'un jaub in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!' How little did he think at that time that he was uttering a pro phecy which was so soon to be fulfilled. _ Now the whole country was open to him, and should God open out a country to them, and would they not occupy it?— (Applause.) He hoped the Christian friends prWent that morning would give such a contribution as would enable Mr. Davies to return to the parent society, and to say that Liverpool gad commenced a subscription which would meet the wants of China and India. (Loud cheers.) The resolution, having been put from the chair, was unanimously adopted. A collection was made during the singing of " All hail the power of Jesu's name"; after which, the Worshipful Chairman most pathetically delivered the apostolical be nediction, and the meeting separated. The following are the amounts received, on Sunday, at the various churches mentioned : £ s. 2. At the meeting yesterday..........

An adjourned meeting of the Association will be held in the Amphitheatre this (Tuesday) evening. The Rev. J. W. Gouring, late of St. Matthew's Church, in this town, and who is now unfortunately afflicted with blindness, has just published a small pamphlet, entitled " The Church, and what it is, being traces of the real Church of the Living God during the first two centuries." At the annual meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid So ciety, on Tuesday, Lord Ashley, as chairman, acknow ledged the receipt, through the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, of £364 9s. as a special contribution from some friends of that institution in this town. In the reporrtbe committee acknowledged themselves to be under deep obligations to Liverpool, as, in addition to this sum, the receipts there had trebled during the pact year. It may be remembered that, at the meeting of the Liverpool auxiliary of the society, in February last, Mr. M'Neile promised to wipe away the disgrace that attached to the town, of receiving more from the society than the town contributed, and the rev. gentleman has thus amply redeemed his promise. 4.4.. iIIeKSOD, or the kieorge the Fourth Inn, in Waterloo-road, in the neighbourhood; and being recognized as he went to the house, an immense mob collected round it (at the bottom of Stewart street, demanding the " murderer." Air. Inspector Johnson, was early on the spot, at first with only font police cfficers, and by the most strenuous, yet temperate exertions, prevented the house from being broken up and gutted. The assailants twice forced one of the doors, but were gallantly repulw.d. The family of Mr. Hickson, in cluding Mrs. H., and several young ladies—her daughter and others—•were dreadfully alarmed, but a reinforcement of police-officers were got up, and protected the house, though unable to do so until many panes of glass were broken by the infuriated mob, who (men and boys) as sailed the officers with successive showers of stones, pieces of brick, &c. Immense crowds, including females and children, continued to gather in the streets adjacent for a period of about two hours, bent upon mischief. The whole of that part of Waterloo-road, Stewart-street, Oil-street, &c., presented, from time to time, dense masses of the lower classes, chiefly Irish, who seemed to be much inclined for a bloody affray, but the disturbance was quelled by about nine o'clock.

It is supposed she will accompany to Dresden her father, M. de Nessel rode, the Chancellor's brother. SHOCK OF EARTHQUAKE AT MALTA.--A slight shock of earthquake, says the Malta Gazelle, of the 29th April, was felt on Wednesday night last, three quarters p_ist eight, which lasted three seconds, and again repeated after five seconds. Another slight shock was felt on ThursdaY morning at four o'clock. The Duke of Devonshire received a distinguished circle at a dejeuner at his villa at Chiswick on Saturday after noon.
