THE ZOOLOGICAL BAND.—We have received a letter from Mr. William Emidy, denying the statements made by Mr. Grooby before the Liverpool Election Committee with re ference to the Zoological hand. We cannot enter into any discussion on the truth of matters deposed to on oath, and any letters on the subject can only be inserted as advertise ments. The great pressure on our space, owing to the proceedings be fore the Liverpool Election Committee, of which we have given a full report, has compelled us unwillingly to omit several literary notices and interesting communications. "FOREIGNER" enquires for the best way to learn the method of book-keeping in use generally by retail shopkeepers. He says he has consulted treatises by Morrison, Chambers, Tuck, Jones, Hutton, and Wallace, and neither of them gives so much as even a meagre illustration, so far AS he can see, of the system upon which he wishes to be enlightened. Eiberpoof Ritanbarb, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 7, 1853 THE ROMANISTS AND THE ESTAB LISHED CHURCH. ONE of the strongest objections raised to the admission of Rornanists into Parliament was the doubt how far they could be bound by oath not to make use of their legislative power to injure the Established Church. It was this apprehen sion, entertained by many friends of what is called Civil and Religious Liberty, that so long delayed the consent of Parliament to the Eman cipation Bill, passed in 1829 ; but several of the leading members of the Romish Church were examined before a Committee of the House of Lords, and so solemnly asseverated that the in- dulgence might be granted, without injury, that a special form of oath was devised, and the opponents of the measure consented to forego their objection. It had been said that no form of oath could bind the conscience of a Romanist, because he could readily obtain absolution for any violation of it, more particularly if it had been violated in order to advance the interests of Rome; but this opinion was strongly denied by those who were then believed to be gentlemen and men of honour, and the Legislature, with too ready credulity, which was intended for magnanimity, gave up the ob jection. In vain did the late Earl of ELDON warn the country of the consequences of opening the door which they might never be able to close again : in vain did the people who had profited by the experience of history petition Parliament against the concession : that Minister was in power, of whom it has been said that he never advocated a cause which he did not ultimately betray, nor oppose a measure which he did not ultimately support; and Sir ROBERT PEEL, who had been returned for Oxford University, as the especial champion of Protestantism, was found the foremost in persuading a too pliant Parliament to grant Romanist Emancipation. Not six years had elapsed since the passing of the Bill, when Sir ROBERT PEEL was himself driven from office, by the very men whom he had admitted to power voting for the celebrated Appropriation Clause, Which was to the effect that any surplus of the revenue of the -Church of Ireland, not required for the spiritual care of its members, should be applied to the general education of all classes of the people, without religious distinction. It mattered little -that the succeeding Ministry were unable to carry Pout the measure upon which they obtained office. Lord MELBOURNE acknowledged that it was a heavy blow and great discouragement to the 'Church, and the majority was obtained through the votes of those who had solemnly sworn that they would never exercise any privilege to which 'they may become entitled, to disturb or weaken the Protestant religion , or Protestant Government in the United Kingdom:; and that this declaration was /made in every part thereof, in the plain .and or dinary sense of the words of the oath, without any *evasion, equivocation, or mental reservation what soever. This manifest violation of a solemn engagement was made when party feeling ran prhigoht,estaanndt Lord j the cTprime-moverRUSSELL; was bu the t y professing havee.ssing since elapsed ; time should have brought reflection ; and we might have expected that, with no , pressing emergency, men would have paused before they wilfully committed deliberate perjury. Alas ! for the folly of relying upon the honour or honesty of those who are under the thraldom of Romish , priests ! On Tuesday last, a resolution was submitted to the House of Commons, having been moved and seconded by Romanist members, " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquirelinto the Ecclesiastical Re venues of Ireland, with the view of ascertaining how far they are made applicable to the benefit of the Irish people." The motion was cunningly worded, but no sane man will doubt its scope -and tendency, and yet we find 'Romanist members, who had taken the oath which we have referred to, voting for its adoption, thereby proving that their strongeet oaths are straw, when the object is to establish the ascendancy of Rome upon the ruins a Protestantism. The motion was opposed by 'the Ministers, who for once felt ashamed of their allies, and, with the aid of the Conservatives, who are the only true friends of Protestantism, it was 'rejected by a ma jority of 26i to 100, the minority =being swelled by the votes of ultra-Radicals and ,professing Dis senters, who care not with whom they join, so long as they can injure the Church. The division afforded a lesson which ought not , to be lost sight of in agitation for future legislation.. MINISTERIAL DIFFICULTIES.---'BREAK-UP OF TEE COALITION.. THE present ministry commenced with she inherent weakness of being composed of every phase of political opinions, excepting only the hest of all, and already it has commenced to tumble into decay. One of its worst features,, however, was that traitor ous truckling to Rome, by which it was hoped to secure the votes of the Brass Band, and the mis chief of such an unholy alliance is apparent in the first untoward discussion. The motion for a new appropriation of the ecclesiastical revenues of Ire- land, upon which we hove commented in another article, was opposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who was, it seems, in an ultra-Protestant mood, and he has given such great offence to his Romanist col leagues, that the defeat of the motion was followed by the resignation of Messrs. KEOGH, MONSELL, and SADLEIR, and subsequently by Sir THOMAS REDINGTON. The matter, however, has been hushed up, as will be seen by the correspondence which we have given in another column. Lord ABERDEEN, to save his Irish friends, has repudiated Lord JOHN RUSSELL ; but though the wound has been salved over, it is strongly suspected that the next resignation will be that of the little Lord. Such a weeding of the Ministry would he in itself, no doubt, an improvement; but it is deeply signi ficant of the disgraceful position of parties. The adhesion of these men to ABERDEEN Conservatism was not without some understanding, with which the negotiator for their support has been unable to comply, and their resentment is displayed in a wholesale defection, designed for a twofold purpose. It serves to prove to their own party their fidelity to the interests of Rome, and, by reuniting the faction in hostility to the Government, to enforce a concession to their demands for the intelligible consideration of a parliamentary majority. When will the electors of England be convinced of the importance of returning Conservative representa tives, in order to spare the humiliation of a British Government being at the mercy of our worst foes, the emissaries of Rome ? THE LIVERPOOL ELECTION PETITION. WHEN sometime since we referred to the Petition against the election of Messrs. TURNER and MAC KENZIE, and confidently expressed our opinion of its being a mere party manoeuvre, which there could be no serious intention of prosecuting, we were as sailed with a storm of exulting defiance from our Radical contemporaries. A nest of corruption had been discovered, and would be laid bare to public indignation, and the Representation would then be at the disposal of those whom the Radicals delight to honour. The prospect was almost too flattering for Radical credulity; and the hopes which had to be supported on so slender a foundation, were fed with ingenious rumours, insidiously circulated, of the sitting members having declined to defend their seats against such an overwhelming mass of evidence; with an occasional milder version, to the effect that one only of the seats was to be sur rendered to a Radical nominee. So clever were our opponents in thus foreshadowing the fate of Messrs. TURNER and MACKENZIE, and so con fident was the tone which our Radical contempora ries had been instructed to assume, unless, indeed, the invention were all their own, that we sometimes doubted our own identity. We began to entertain a vague apprehension that an extraordinary dis covery had been made of doings of which the Con servatives were themselves unaware; and as there were also among the chances, the new Whig-Radi cal zeal for political purity, and the "glorious uncer tainty of the law," it was barely possible that a favourable Committee, judging from precedents, might be found to carry out the designs of Messrs. RATHBONE and Co. We were content, therefore, to bide our time until the opening of the proceed ings, at the commencement of last week, should afford some insight into that all-important accu sation which was to annihilate Conservative ascendancy in Liverpool ; and we only express the feeling of nine-tenths of the community, when we say that contempt and shame are struggling for the mastery. Months have elapsed since this charge of bribery and treating was first made ; the mountain has been painfully in labour, and the issue is so ridiculougly insignificant, that a mouse would be too dignified a comparison. This was evident from the first, in the laboured address of Mr. Serjeant KINGLAKE, who, finding no ma terials, yet feeling himself bound to say something, indulged in reiterated allusions to the number of freemen—to what had been done twenty years ago— and to the monstrous enormity of not allowing a labouring man to lose the day's wages he would otherwise have earned, and of conveying him to the polling-booth in a one-horse carriage. The ex posure of the plan of the campaign excited a general laugh of derision at its utter imbecility, among all who were interested in the decision, while even the Radicals felt ashamed of a cause in which their sympathies had been wantonly en listed. They looked with natural anxiety for those exposures of gross corruption which had been so confidently promised, and upon which they built their hopes of the profits of another election, and to their mortification they dwindled down into the mere reimbursement of the day's wages lost by those who attended the election, and paid for at the current rates of the day. It was seriously doubted whether a Petition, to be thus supported, was ever really designed to be submitted to investigation ; but the intention was soon made apparent when the ostensible prime-mover was examined as a witness. He was compelled to admit that he had made a proposal some two or three months since to withdraw the Petition, upon condition of one of the members resigning his seat; and it was only when the offer was rejected, with the contempt and indignation which it merited, that a subscription was made in order to bear the necessary expenses of prosecuting the inquiry. The final step was not, however, determined upon until after the selection of the Committee; and it was only because it was believed that the political opinions of three of its members were favourable to the pe titioners, that they decided on proceeding. It is clear, therefore, that the whole affair is a mere party manoeuvre, —an electioneering trick to in timidate the chosen Representatives of Liverpool into an abandonment of the seats which they obtained by the votes of such large majorities of their constituents ; and after the unwilling admis sions of MT. WILLIAM RATRBONE, jun., the Electors of Liverpool will know how to appreciate his zeal for their interests, and to estimate the zealous exertions of the Radicals for the purity of their body. Had it been a closely-contested election, in which a few votes only had turned the scale ; had the majority been obtained by inducing men who were pledged to Liberalism to become sudden converts to Conservative prin ciples; had the votes been secured of those who were not above the temptations of bribery, we could have made some allowance for the mortifi cation of a defeated party finding a safety-valve in a petition of inquiry. But such charges have not a shadow of foundation upon which to rest. The majority was too overwhelming to require the slightest approach to anything beyond that judi oious organization which is always necessary to ensure success; and when it is notorious that there is no election for Liverpool on record which was -freer from corruption, or conducted on purer prin ciples than the last, the conduct of the petitioners is without the slightest excuse, and should brand them with infamy and the detestation of every elector, to whichever party he may belong, who has any confidence in the correctness of his own views or the purity of his own motives. We do not charge the party generally who supported Messrs. ,CARDWELL and EW&RT with the dis grace of these proceedings. Many among them are men of high and honourable character, and the majority, we believe, are thoroughly ashamed of the course which has been pursued, though it should teach them a lesson of the folly of allowing themselves to be mixed up with such characters in order to gain political ends. Mr. CARDWELL had forfeited the confidence of the electors by the poli tical treachery in which he shared with the late Laws —and — y i h n is th s e u a p b p r o o r g t at o i f on th o e f R th om e N ish av e ig o a l t le io g n e Sir ROBERT PEEL, by his surren d er o f the Ship ping Maynooth. The question at issue was therefore placed upon an intelligible basis, and it is the grossest falsehood, and a foul libel upon the inde pendence and common sense of the electors of Liverpool, for any man, or body of men, to assert that their votes were obtained, as the petition alleges, by corrupt practices. We cannot believe, until the verdict has been pronounced, that Mr. INGHAM, the Chairman of the Committee, upon whose decision it will ulti mately depend, can be so utterly oblivious of common sense, and even common honesty —so com pletely the tool of party prejudice in forgetfulness of every other consideration—as to pronounce it adversely to our present Representatives, upon the flimsy pretexts which have been advanced on behalf of the petitioners. But whatever may be the result, the stain of the infamous proceedings will remain in delibly upon those who have promoted them, and Liverpool will thus far have benefited, in having discovered the traitors within her own bosom. If she should obtain that bare measure of justice to which she has an undoubted right, the execrations of her foes may be drowned in the congratulations for her second triumph ; but should she be called upon once more to assert her privilege of electing two Constitutional Representatives, it will be by such a majority as to render hopeless all attempts at further opposition, THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. THE Ministerial scheme for the future government of India has at length been propounded, and Sir CHARLES Wool) laboured through an oration of five hours to render palateable a measure which it is impossible to believe that the House of Commons will sanction. It was a voluminous preface to so small a production, and in its very prolixity be trayed a consciousness of the weakness of the cause. He entered into an elaborate statement of almost all that concerned our Indian empire, interspersed with numerous quotations from writers on the sub ject, as though he were reciting an historical treatise on British India, and then brought forth the Government proposition, to continue the anoma lous system which at present prevails for an indefinite period, with some slight modifications, in order to get rid of the more prominent objections to the wholesale patronage of the Directors in Leadenhall-street. The want of direct responsi bility he proposed to remedy by a promise that he, as the President of the Board of Control, would lay an annual statement of Indian affairs before Parliament. The rest of his measure may be briefly stated. The twenty-four directors chosen by the holders of India stock are to be reduced to twelve, and the Crown is to nominate six more from Indian servants of ten years' standing. The appointments to Haileybury College, to the scientific military branch at Addiscombe, and to assistant-surgeons, are to be thrown open to public competition, and the rest of the patronage is to be left in the hands of the directors. Some minor alterations are also proposed in the local government of India. So paltry a reform, which, in some particulars, would render matters worse, is by no means satisfactory, and it is to be hoped that the House of Commons will show sufficient independence of ministerial control as not to permit the present opportunity to be thrown away for effecting so important an im provement as might be accomplished by placing our Indian possessions under direct Imperial control. THE CONTEST FOR BIRKENHEAp COMMISSIONERS. THE election of eight Commissioners for the Township of Birkenhead takes place this day (Tuesday). The excitement on the subject has been increasing in intensity, and announcements in blue and red have been issued almost hourly. It is, however, much to be lamented that crimination and recrimination should have been so largely resorted to, the more especially when the merits of the case lie almost in a nutshell, and would have long since received a satisfactory solution, had the parties been as ingenuous in their statements as they have proved themselves to be ingenious in mystifying them. The sympathies of many of the ratepayers appear to have been enlisted on the side of the Reds, from a belief that the ascendancy of that party would lead to the establishment of factories on the banks of the Pool. They say that if the choice be between the completion of the Docks and the occupation of the banks with hives of industry, they prefer the latter as being the most conducive to the welfare of Birkenhead. This is not, however, the alternative ; for, if the Blue party be elected, the Docks will be completed, and the other object also attained, the only obstacle being a legal difference as to the respective rights of the Dock Trustees and the Dock and Warehouse Company to the conservancy of the dock walls, and the question is left for the decision of the Vice-Chancellor on Monday next. Whichever way this question may be decided, the difficulty will be removed from carrying out the wishes of those who think, by voting for the Red party, to see the long-desired occupation of the banks, whereas by voting for the Blue list they will equally secure the same end, and at the same time further the equally important object of the com pletion of the Docks. COUNTY Y COURT. - - ESTERDAY. (Before Joseph Pollock, Esq., Judge.) His Honour having disposed of several fraud sum monses, which possessed no feature of public interest, proceeded to take insolvency cases. NON-PAYMENT OF COURT FEES.—CHARGE OF NEG LECT AGAINST AN ATTORNEY.—An insolvent, named Thomas Hesselgrave, came before the court on his final examination. The case had been before adjourned on the application of Mr. Bluck, insolvent's attorney. Mr. M'Oubrey, barrister, appeared for the insolvent, and the application was opposed by Mr. Grocott, solicitor, on be half of certain creditors. It appeared from an intimation made by his Honour to Mr. M'Oubrey, that Mr. Bluck, insolvent's attorney, had not paid certain court fees, although he had received the money. His Honour complained of this conduct as irre gular. The case had been adjourned twice, for the ac commodation of the insolvent, when the opposing creditor was present ; and now, when the case again came before the court, it appeared the fees had not been paid. His Honour was determined that the proceedings of the court should be regular, and would not allow the case to pro ceed in its present state. The insolvent here said that he was not aware the fees were not paid, and offered to pay them now. His HONOUR said he would not permit the arrange ments under the act of parliament to be interfered with. The act required that the fees should be paid a certain time before the hearing of a case, and they must proceed in the usual way. His Honour added, that if these things were repeated he should feel it his duty to declare that he would not hear any practitioner in that court who did not fulfil his engagements. The petition was then dimissed, his Honour stating that he would not again hear it until the regulations of the court had been complied with. On the application of Mr. Grocott, the opposing cre ditors' costs were allowed. ALLEGED NEGLECT OF AN OFFICER OF THE COURT.— John Muir, a flour-dealer in Scotland-road, appeared before the court on his final order. The insolvent was supported by Mr. Hill. solicitor, and opposed by Mr. Dewhurat on behalf of Mr. Arthur Henderson, who had advanced the insolvent certain sums of money on the se curity of a policy of insurance and a promissory note. It was alleged against the insolvent that he had obtained from Mr. Henderson a second sum of money on the repre sentation that he had paid the premium upon the policy of insurance, which was not so. His Hor oug. stated to Mr. Dewhurst that he was not certain whether, under existing circumstances, he had jurisdiction in the case. It appeared, when the case was last before the court, that the necessary advertisement had not been inserted in the Gazelle in due time, and the case could not proceed. Since that time another case of a similar nature, in re Hughes, had come before him, and the disposal o f ! that case had been deferred, pending the decision of the insolvent court in London by the practices in which it was laid down that the county court judges were to be guided. The present case had, therefore, better stand over until a decision in Hughes's case was before him. It had been submitted to him by the attorney , in Hughes's case that, in consequence of the advertise ment not hating been duly inserted in the Gazette, he had no jurisdiction, and that the entire of the proceedings must commence de novo. Mr. HILL said, in the present case he had himself paid the money to the officer of the court. His HONOUIL—He did not say that the insolvent had not a right of action against the officer of the court, if the fees had been duly paid, but still he (the judge) must be guided by the construction of the Act of Parliament as laid down in the practice of the Insolvent Court in Lon don. If the money was paid to the officer of the court in time for him to have advertised it in the Gazette, no doubt he ought to have done so; but the question was whether, in consequence of the advertisement no t h av i ng appeared, he had now any jurisdiction in the case. It was! very important case. The case was adjourned accordingly, after Mr. Hender son had been examined respecting his claim. WAVERTREE CHURCH OF ENGLAND SUNDAY SCHOOL. —On Thursday last the scholars belonging to the Church of England Schools at Wavertree had their annual treat, under the auspices of their esteemed president, the Rev. W. Badnall, M.A. In the forenoon, the children, to the number of 175, and about twenty teachers, met at the school rooms in Wavertree-road, and headed by the Rev. W. Badnall, and the Rev. W. Kewley, the vice•president, with an efficient band, and upwards of a dozen flags bear ing appropriate inscriptions, they walked in procession through the village to Wavertree-green where they sang a hymn, and then entered four omnibuses, which bad been kindly placed at the disposal of the promoters by Messrs. Mattinson and Dilworth. They were thus con veyed to the Landing-stage, where they embarked on board one of the New Brighton boats. Theday being beau tifully fine, they greatly enjoyed themselves; the Rev. Mr. Kewley and the teachers joining in the festivities of the day. They were regaled during the day with a plentiful supply of buns, beef, &c., and in the evening returned home in the same order as that observed in the morning. The schools were re-modelled about eighteen months ago, under the auspices of the Rev. Mr. Badnall, together with the Rev. S. Fenton, the Rev. J . W. , Ihler, jun., the treasurer; Mr. J o hn Fulford, secretaryllr j and superintendent of the school, and an efficient staff of 25 teachers. It then numbered only 60 scholars. It has continued to increase, and now boasts of nearly 200 scholars. We understand that the success o f the school has led to the determination to erect Ei new and more commodious building for the pupils. CONFIRMATIONS YESTERDAY BY THE LORD BISHOP OF CHESTER. The Right Rev. Dr. Graham, the Lord Bishop of this diocese, commenced a series of confirmations in Liverpool yesterday, which his Lordship will continue during the week. In the forenoon his Lordship attended at the parish church of St. Peter, in Church-street, where it had been arranged that the candidates for confirmation belonging to the several districts of St. Peter, St. Nicholas (parish church), St. George, St. John, St. David, St. Stephen, the Mariners' Church, and the Workhouse, should assem ble to have the rite administered. The young people presented by the clergymen having charge of the respective districts numbered about 300. In the afternoon his Lordship proceeded to St. Mi, had's Church, where he administered confirmation to between 300 and 400 children belonging to St. Michael's, St. Thomas's, St. Barnabas's, St. Bride's, St. Mark's, and St. Andrew's. After confirmation, the usual services in connexion with the rite were performed, after which His LORDSHIP addressed the children in elo quen t an d affecting terms, peculiarly appropriate to the occasion. His Lordship's observations at both churches were much to the same effect. He said—My dear young friends, this solemn service of your confirmation has now been com pleted. I have laid my hands upon you as the Church directs, in order, by that sign, to assure you of God's loving kindness and gracious favour. I have also, as the Church directs, prayed that God will bless you—that he will extend to you his heavenly grace, and at last bring you to his everlasting kingdom. I have offered up this prayer for you with true sincerity and earnestness of heart, and I hope that that prayer will be answered by God's good gifts descending on you all. I am sure that you have been well instructed and prepared for this solemn service by your ministers, for your own behaviour here., which has been so very orderly and reverential during the whole of the service, would itself point to me t hat you feel yourselves the great importance of the step that you are now taking in your Christian life. Still I wish, before I bid you farewell, to say a few words to you, both as a token of my own good will and kindness to you, and also because being addressed to you on this very solemn occasion in your lives, what I may now say may, through God's blessing, sometimes be called to your remembrance afterwards. Now when you were little children, your parents or friends took you to the Church of God to be baptised in the name of the Father, the Son. and the Holy Ghost. You were thereby openly admitted into the Christian covenant of grace. Now, in that very covenant there is a very great and preciouspro mise made to you. You had the promise of being delivered from a state of condemnation to which all men have been brought by sin, and of being received by the favour of God, through the atonement which Christ Jesus made on the cross for the sins of the whole world. You had the promise of Gad's Holy Spirit to make you his children by adoption, and to renew and sanctify your hearts and lives, and you had also the glorious promise of everlasting life in heaven, through the merits of the Holy Saviour Jesus Christ. But, my young friends, the Christian covenant to which you were admitted at your baptism has duties and engagements which it imposes upon you, as well as the promises it makes and the privileges it confers. Those engagements and duties you could not, when you were little children, make for yourselves—they were made for you by your godfathers and godmothers, who acted at your baptism, and became sponsors on your behalf and for your good. But, then, all this was with the understanding that what others did for you, you should yourself adopt as your own act and deed as soon as you were able to understand its meaning. You , are now able to do this, and as you have arrived at years of suitable discretion, the Church calls upon you to renew in your own persons the engagements made for you by those on your behalf, that, by the blessing of God and the help of his grace, you would renounce all ungodliness, believe God's Holy Word, and keep his commandments. You have now, this day, openly, before the Church, made this profession, and entered into these engagements in your own persons, and with your own voices. Do not, however, suppose, that you are thereby binding your selves by some tie from which you would otherwise have been free. Do not suppose that you are thereby taking upon yourselves a responsibility to answer for your sins, for winch you we re no t accoun t a bl e b e f ore. N o suc h thing. It never can be a matter of choice with you whe ther you will be bound to obey God's commandments He is the righteous governor of the world, and if you had never made any such engagement as you have done to day, yet because he is the righteous governor of the world, you would have been equally bound to keep his commandments and to obey his laws. Neither will it ever be a matter of choice in you whether you will answer for your own sins or not. God is the righteous judge of the world, and if you transgress his laws, you must answer for your disobedience. No one else can answer for you. You must answer for your own sins yourselves ; arid the time when you become answerable is not at the time of your confirmation, but as soon as your understanding enables you to know the difference between good and evil. His Lordship, in con tinuation, pointed out the Christian duties and respon sibilities which they had now openly imposed upon them selves, and feelingly urged upon them the vast importance of adhering in practice to the Christian profession they had made. The proceedings closed by his Lordship pronouncing the benediction. To-day, at eleven o'clock, his Lordship will hold a confirmation At St. Luke's Church.—For St. Luke, Liverpool, St. Philip, St. Clement, St. Saviour, St. Catherine, St. Simon, St. John the Evangelist, St. Mary (for the blind). At St. Jude's Church, three o'clock, p an.—For St. Jude, Liverpool ; St. Silas, Trinity, Christ Church, St. Anne ; St. James, \Vest Derby ; St. Anne, Stanley ; Edge-bill, St. Mary ; Edge-hill, St. Stephen ; Fairfield. ... , At St. Paul's C hurck, Wednesday, at eleven o'clock, p.m.—For St. Paul, Liverpool ; St. Matthias, St. Martin, St. Bartholomew, All Saints, St. Matthew, Bevington, Vauxhall. At Walton Church, at three o'clock, p.m.—For Wal ton, Kirkby. Aintree, Bootle, West Derby ; Trinity, Walton Breck ; Kirkdale Industrial School. At St. George's Church, Everton, on Thursday, at eleven o'clock, a.m.—For St. George, Everton ; St. Augustine, ditto ; Christ Church, ditto ; St. Peter, ditto ; St. Mary, Kirkdale. At St. John Baptist Church, Toxteth, on Thursday. at three o'clock, p.m.—For St. John Baptist, Toxteth ; St. Michael, ditto ; St. Paul, ditto ; St. James, ditto ; St. Thomas, ditto ; St. Matthew, ditto. VAUXHALL CHURCH AND SCHOOLS.—We are glad to see that the contributions for these important objects go for ward with spirit; and we hope that all who sympathise in the effort will be prompt in affording their assistance, that full advantage may be taken of the summer season in forwarding the work. BODIES FOUND.—On Sunday, the body of a woman, unknown, was found in the canal. It appeared to have been in the water for some time.—On Saturday, the body of a man, unknown, was found floating in the river twelve miles N.W. of the Bell Buoy, by the steam-tug Tartar. The body was brought by the steamer to the Seacombe Ferry, and thence conveyed to the dead-house. Inquests will be held on the bodies to-day. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.—It will be seen, by adver tisement, that a public meeting will be held this evening to receive a deputation from the London Sunday School Union, and to celebrate the jubilee of that society. The Sunday School has been in existence half a century, during which period it has been conducted by the friends and voluntary unpaid labours of the London Sunday School Committee. Its operations, which are conducted in & truly Catholic spirit, have been very extensive. Exclusive of grants for the colonies, the society has given £7,000 since 1832 towards the erection of 300 Sunday School rooms. They have also granted 2,750 libraries of books for Sunday scholars and their parents at a prime cost of upwards of £12,000. Their annual profits they invari ably spend in assisting schools in various localities which require their aid. The arrival of the fiftieth year of the society has suggested the necessity of still more extended plans of usefulness, and it is to explain and develop these that the deputation visits this town. AN UNFEELING SON.—On Wednesday an inquest was held upon the body of William Williamson, aged 48, mate of the schooner Fanny, of Ramsay, who died from the effects of excessive drinking. The deceased went, on Monday afternoon, to the house of Mr. John Carrol, Salthouse-lane, after which, being intoxicated, Mr. Carrol accompanied him to the Prince's Dock basin, where they found the Fanny, in tow of a steamer, going up to Runcorn. Williamson being too late to get on board, they returned to Salthouse-lane, and the deceased lay upon a sofa in the parlour. Carrol went out to watch goods on the Queen's Dock quay, and remained there ail night. When he returned to his house, on Tuesday morning, he found Williamson still on the sofa. He tried to rouse him, but, not succeeding, he called in Dr. Bruce, who pronounced life extinct. A son of the de ceased, who had that morning returned from India, appeared in court, and owned his father ; but, although he had taken a watch out of the dead man's pocket, and pawned it for 55., he refused to have anything to do with burying the corpse, and said the parish must do it, for he would not. The burial order was consequently sent to Mr. Gray, at the parish-office, and the body removed. A verdict of `• Died from excessive drinking' was returned. THELOVERS OF LAUGHTER are a 9 numerous as the stars of the firmament, and those who cater for their atnusement need be as watchful as Argus to catch the passing whim of the moment and tickle the risible faculties. Those who succeed best in this are amongst the greatest benefactors of society, for wholesome mirth is the best dyspeptic medicine ever yet discovered—" laugh and grow fat is an adage as old as the world—the hyena, the most vora cious of animals, is obliged to laugh to digest his meals.

TO DOCK LABOURERS WE, the Undersigned, having grounds for believing that the present Combination to raise Wages has the ulterior object of limiting the labour market in this Port, by preventing Labourers from working who may not be members of a particular Society, have resolved to oppose such Combina tion by every lawful means. We have ascertained that there are hundreds of industrious Labourers in this Port who feel oppressed by such Combina tion, and are anxious to obtain the protection of Employers from its effects, so ruinous to themselves and their families. To such Labourers we have resolved to give every encourage ment in our power. both personally and through such Steve dores as are entirely unconnected with the Combination. We shall be always ready to give the most favourable consi deration to any rise of Wages arising from natural causes, and which can be maintained relatively with the rates ruling else where.

MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS, IT would be difficult to conceive that any one who has the real interests of religion at heart can regard that portion of-our population who are without the means of wor shipping'God on the Sabbath-day, and yet not feel an awful sense of their spiritual misery. We all require to be reminded of the high and holy nature of our faith, and of the fearful re sponsibility under which we are placed -as accountable crea tures for the due discharge of our Christian profession. How deplorable, then, must be the state of those who may be said to be living without God in the midst of a Christian world ; destitute of the opportunity of being taught the knowledge of salvation through Jesus Christ, and of being urged to stead fastness-in faith and to purity in practice, and instructed so to live that they may be prepared to die. It was -under these convictions that, a 2few years ago, by the exertions of the late Bishop of this "Rocese, Four District Parishes'were formed in Liverpool, under the provisions of the act commonly called Sir R. Peel's Act. Churches have been provided for three of these by the public liberality, at an out lay of about .t'17,000. The erection of a Church for the fourth Youandlit earnestlyssure, l rejoice you e t o to t e i ti e ! r s r s t e i h s m a t t a i r t s u h c t i o h s l g ) e o blessedodhas accomp lished, work. r e sresulted t eYd from'what has been already done. The Churches which have been already built are now filled-with large and respectable congregations : many an igno rant person has been instrticted, many a •careless one who could not be induced to seek a sanctuary at a. distance from his own home,' has been brought to attend to theservices of the Church ; many a profligate, who was growing up in practical infidelity, has been led to enter the House of Prayer upon the very spot whith had formerly been the scene of his criminal dissipation. Tbe"District of Vauxhall, which still.remains to be supplied, is one of the most destitute in our town. Its population ex ceeda9,oBo, and with the exception of one very small Chapel, there is no place of public worship within its precincts. You will net, .I trust, allow this blot upon our Christian sympathy to remain any longer ; you will do sour utmost to assist in raising Christ's banner in this desolate , waste, and furnish the materials for fighting manfully aga i ns t sin, the world, and the Devil. An opportunity now presents itself of furnishing us with a site and buildings which may be converted into Schools and a Church, for the comparatively moderate sum of 7,000. Earnestly do I entreat that this oppo r t un it y may not be lost. After a ministry of more than half a century amongst you I implore your aid, that before I lay down my head in the land of forgetfulness, I may be permitted -t3 see this mass of spiritual misery explored and relievedonay witness the glad tidings of the Gospel piercing its most dismal recesses, and carrying home to the hearts and convictions of its now be nigh-ted inhabitants the great truth that this Jesus whom we preach unto ;you is indeed the Christ.
