THE ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES is TWO GUINEAS PER ANNUM. as possible THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. But this species of Sunday desecration is held by the Church to be both national and con stitutional ! We must confess, however, that we are wholly at a loss to understand the difference between a band's playing on the Sabbath for the amusement of a regiment of soldiers, or a park full of people who have but one day in the week to devote to recreation. The Bishops may be able to point out the dis tinction, and the sooner the Reverend Lords do so the better all classes of the community will be capable of judgit,g of the consistency of their theological and moral objections to military bands playing for the public, at suitable hours, on the Sunday, instead of a regiment. We could raise many grave arguments against both practices, and would, as far as we are personally concerned, rather not have music played for amusement on the 'Sabbath. But then we cannot shut our eyes to what we see going on around us on that sacred day. • Who, that looks into the actual state of things in all our large towns, would not adopt anything that was not positively a heinous sin to draw men and women, boys and girls, off from those scenes of drunkenness and depravity of the worst description, which we witness on each returning Sabbath morning and evening ? The Church must forego something to win the abandoned from the evil tenor of their ways. Music and rational amuse ments have not made society in this country what it is, and it cannot therefore be said that the remedy suggested is the parent of the social malady we would remove. Everything has been tried that the Church has suggested and religion could dictate, to bring all men to respect the Sabbath alike. But these costly and holy efforts have failed not for want of time or zeal. A large portion of mankind love to feed and cast their lot, like certain animals and birds of the desert, among poisonous plants and pestiferious carrion. Whether music was first introduced into temples devoted to Divine worship to attract the listless multitude, we leave those who have dived deeper into Church history than we have to decide. But few will deny that it has its charms in Churches, and why should it not exercise its sublime influencess in the open air on the Sabbath. Why should it not be employed in these day 4 to fill the multitude with a taste; if not 'a love, of sacred music ? Time has added mightily to our stock of oratoricel composi tions. There is n o l ac k o f c h eer f u l , h eart st i rr i ng, I and majestic passages in the works of the modern composers of sacred music. Any musician, acquainted with the great masters of the day, Icould make selections for Sunday performances which could not be said to amount to a desecra tion of the Lord's Day, if they were heard, in the I open air, in the presence of the highest and most scrupulous authorities in the land. We have not enough of this sort of music amongst us. We ! want it to be spread far and near, as the antidote Ito the poisonous trash which is associated with 1 vulgarity and debauchery. This popular s tyl e o f composition, if played anywhere, would desecrate ithe Sabbath, and, we feel convinced, that if the pro i ductions of our great masters of oratorio music I were encouraged, the good taste and good sense l of the public would speedily reject any other description of recreation, except that which all . classes might participate in with equal delight and advantage. The people appear resolved to have their Sunday band-playing, and it would be well to try the experiment of rendering their Sabbath amusements as agreeable, harmless, and edifying MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING There has been rather more business done in Cotton to-day, and the sales amount to 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 have been taken for speculation and export. Prices are without change. The Liverpool Share Market has been active, and a good business has been done at gradually improving prices. The closing quotations were Aberdeen, 13* 131.

The Hogue, which arrived from New South Wales yesterday, is now ascertained to bring 76,000 sovereigns, coined in the Sydney Mint, and 2,000 ounces of gold. A large amount is also brought by private hand. The rates charged for the negociation of three months' bills on the principal cities of the Conti nent yesterday afternoon ruled firm. As the course of exchange at New York on London will yield a profit on shipments of the precious metals to England, further supplies from that quarter may be expected, and as the arrivals of gold from Australia are large, and likely to continue so, a speedy and material augmentation in the stock of bullion held by the Bank of England may be expected. These circumstances, together with the limited demand now current for discount accomo modation, and the abundant supply of capital, have given rise to the impression that a reduction in the course of a week or two will be made in the minimum terms now current in Threadneedle street. Letters from Paris mention that the great national undertaking to drain the agricultural lands of the country is under the consideration of the Council of State, and likely to receive their sanction. To this project the government are to lend 100 million francs, and that they are to empower the company to drain such lands as are necessary. The subscribers to the loan are to be reimbursed in twenty years, at the average of annuities, with the option of selling out in three, four, six, and eight years, and with the interest at the rates of three and four per cent. It is calculated that the expense of draining one hectare will be about 230 f. ; that each hectare thus drained will produce more than s:x hectolitres of wheat; and that when all the lands in France are drained, it will add from four to five millions hec tolitres of wheat. No public sales of colonial produce have been advertised for to-day or to-morrow, and business in all departments, in conseqnence of the Epsom Races, is quiet. Notice has been given that the Scrip Certificates for the deposit on the loan for 5,000,000/. were obtainable this morning at 11 o'clock. The security Markets continue to show a steady upward tendency, owing to the improved aspect of monetary affairs. The Funds experienced a fresh rise of 1 4 per cent to-dad•, and closed k per cent higher than yesterday. The final quotations were 954 to 958. In the Discount market the supply of money continued large, and the current rates are below those of the Bank. In the Stock Exchange also money continues easy. At • Paris to-day the 3 per Cent Rentes closed a trifle lower than yesterday. Any tendency towards improvement is checked by the report that a new loan is near at hand. The gold brought by the Roxburgh Castle was to-day purchased by the Bank. At a general meeting held to-day of the proprietors of the National Bank; previously known as the National Bank of Ireland, a very satisfactory report was read and adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, together with a bonus of 10s per share, was declared. The Railway Share Market to day was decidedly buoyant, and prices, at the close, were quoted as follows :—Caledonian, 611 614. Edin burgh and Glasgow, 60 62. Eastern Counties, 10 10i. East Lancashire, 77 79. Great Northern, 95? 96. Ditto A, 79 80. Great Western, 611 611. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 921 93. London and North Western, 1024 1021.

THE FIRST BRITISH MERCHANT STEAMER AT ST. PETERSBULIG.—We learn that the first British merchant steamer that has ascended the Neva beyond Cronstadt (where it is usual for such vessels to discharge their cargoes into lighters is the Spurn, 700 tons burthen, which has arrived at St. Petersburg city, and is discharg ing her cargo there. The Spurn was built to ply between Grimsby and the Baltic by Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co., of Hull, and has been able to ascend the Neva by reason of an exceedingly light draught of water in pro portion to her tonnage. The builders of this steamer are developing the same principle of construction with advantage in the nine vessels built and building by them for the Anglo-French steamship company for the navigation between Grimsby and the Seine at Rouen, and the other shallow rivers of France. TRAGIC EVENT IN THE TYROL. --The Revenue Franco- Italienne reports a terrible event as having occurred recently at Bolzano, in the Italian Tyrol. A schoolboy of the town-school threw a stone at a peacock belonging to the masters and killed it. The father of the child, when he heard of the circumstance, came forward voluntarily to pay the value of the bird. But the two masters, who were priests, determined that the child must, nevertheless, receive exemplary chastisement. At a moment when all the other scholars went out for a walk, the " murderer " of the peacock was detained and beaten till his back was broken. He died on the spot. The father, who was sent for by people who heard the cries of the child, came at once to the school, and seeing his infant dead, fell upon the two priests and killed them by repeated stabs with a knife. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE ON LoNDON-BRIDGE.— On Tuesday morning, at half-past three o'clock, consider able sensation was created on London-bridge, in conse quence of a wide-spread report that a respectably-dressed female, name unknown, had been thrown over London bridge, and that the alleged murderer had been appre hended. Upon inquiry this turns out to be too true, and the particulars are nearly as follow :—A police constable was on duty on London-bridge, at half-past three o'clock yesterday morning. He observed a man and woman loitering on the bridge for some length of time. They presently got on one of the recesses. A person who was passing saw the man push the woman over the bridge. In falling she struck against the abutment s , and tell into the water. Wheeler, police constable 5h7, instantly raised an alarm, when the Royal Humane Society's boats and drags were quickly put in requisition, but the body was not found. The man, when arrested, attempted to commit suicide. Upon arriving at the station, the inspector asked him his name. He answered, I William Mayes. billiard-marker, aced 26 years, and that he resided at Three Tons-court, 'Borough. The acting inspector entered the charge against the prisoner as follows:—Charged with attempting suicide and also pushing a woman over the parapet of London-bridge. Later in the afternoon the man was placed at the bar, before Sir R. Carden, at the Mansion-house, charged with the above offence. He was remanded for a week. DOMESTIC AFFLICTION TO LORD BROUGHAM.—We re gret to announce the death of the only sister of Lor,l Brougham, whi c h t oo k p l ace on t h e 25 t h i ns t an t. The mournful event has happened at a moment when his lordship is far from well ; although to the last moment assiduous in the discharge of his parliamentary duties, both judicial and political. The following letter from his lordship was read on Tuesday evening by the Lord Chancellor in the House of Lords :—" My dear Lord Chancellor,—l am sorry I must trouble you to take charge of the Carlisle petition and of my bills, as I am unable to attend, being very unwell ; but besides, I find that seventee n y ears s i nce m y afflictions in 1839 have, broth by the length of time and the work, l e ft me unable to struggl e a s I then did, and I may per haps venture to hope that I have earned a title to some rest under the present distress. Two of the bills are in their last stage; but by far the most impor tant (the Judicial Statistics) is not, and I ear nes tl y recommend it to your care. The prints are delivered today, and the numerous schedules, elaborately and most carefully prepared, really exhaust the wh o l e sub ject, and give a complete system of judicial statistics, civil and criminal, general and local. As I shall almost immediately leave town, I hope you may receive this so as to act upon it before I go." Lord B rougham will, we believe, quit town immediately, either for Strat fieldsaye or Westmorland. THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1856 THE professional opposition raised to the Birkenhead Dock Bill is somewhat unusually strong. Two railway companies arc in the field in addition to the host of ordinary harpies who follow nearly all " private" bills as ravens do sick horses, and as sharks follow in the wake of the fever ship. The Magnates of the two railways are not satisfied with having each of them a strong and totally distinct string of objections to offer to the merits of the proposed plan, but they must oppose the preamble of the Bill ! Now, if this introductory paragraph resembles those usually employed in such cases, and states that, whereas it is expedient to extend the accommodation of shipping in the Mersey, in pursuance of the express terms contained in the Acts of Parliament previously passed for that purpose ; and that, as it is necessary to make certain alterations and additions to the plans formerly sanctioned by Parliament, it is, therefore, enacted with the advice and consent, &c., we really cannot see what the opponents to such a plain statement of fact mean. Are the Great Western and the Birkenhead and Cheshire Railway Companies prepared to show that the preamble cannot be proved, or are they only availing themselves of the Standing Orders of the House of Commons, to get from the Dock Trustees terms which they think most advantageous to themselves? If this be their object, we are rejoiced to find the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee, Sir WILLIAM CLAY, has nipped these tactics in the bud, and appears resolved to confine all parties to the merits of the cases brought before the tribunal over which he presides. Had a similar course been pursued with regard to the 4,000,0001. scheme of last year, we can easily imagine what its fate would have been. In the present instance, however, the allegations embodied in the preamble, are, simply, so many palpable facts. We do want more dock accommodation on the Cheshire side of the Mersey. Birkenhead is an integral portion of Liverpool, and, consequently, we can give expression to the truth, without giving encouragement to non sensical rivalry between the two sister localities. We want more docks in central and where the greatest natural advantages exist. Birkenhead and the south end of Liverpool possesses these cardinal recommendations, and it is useless to think of excluding them from the traffic of the Mersey in favour of the Corporation's penchant for the north end of the Borough. It is tha manifest interest of Liverpool that Birkenhead should be populated and encouraged before the wilds of Bootle are colonised, and another rival raised to power, to sweep away our ships, and shipping trade, beyon d the limits of our port. The extension and completion of the Birkenhead Docks might also be advocated on the score of economy. We shall thereby obtain a much larger floatage surface than we could any where else, within the same distance from Liverpool Proper, and for half the money ; and it is high time we looked strictly to economy in our dock affairs. We have received from dock dues, since they were firs levied, up to the present time, about 7,400,0001. all of which has disappeared in the payment of interest on Dock Bonds and working us still with a Dock debt of 5,400,000/ situations, expenses, leaving There is something here for those who are really interested in the welfare of the trade of Liverpool to ponder over, and something to weigh on the mind of Parlia matary committees, when called on to deal with what immediately affects the largest shipping port in the realm. The time has arrived when, if we look closely into the whole of our Dock manage ment and requirements, we shall find that a very different system must be pursued henceforth to that which is now in vogue. Every Dock scheme must be dealt with on its merits, and the strictest economy enforced by the Legislature in its execu tion and general management, when brought into practical operation Now the public will be more than usually curious to learn what the two railway companies we have named, will hare to say on these vitally important branches of a subject in which they exhibit so deep an interest. That they care little about Mr. RENDELL or Mr. VARTLEY'S plans, is proved by the fact that, they objected to the preamble of the Bill, to defeat the measure altogether Failing to accomplish this they have " two distinct and special cases " to submit to the committee. Oue company will probably support Mr. RENDELL'S plan, the other Mr. HARTLEY'S. Then will come the tug of war ! the professional farce to conclude with a " compro mise," and the acceptance of a bill they opposed, first, on its expediency and then on its merits ! If this should turn out to be the sequel of their opposition, we can only say, and WO do so with all respect for the pockets of Shareholders, that we hope most sincerely the two companies in question, will be called upon to pay the costs of their opposition, even if it should be successful to the extent we have anticipated. More frivolous and vexatious proceedings can scarcely be conceived, and it would be well for the committees of both Houses of Parliament to mark their sense of such objectionable proceedings by the exercise of the salutary discretion with which they have been wisely armed. We want the Birkenhead Docks, but we cannot afford to pay more for them than they are worth, and Parliament should consider, that the expenses of what are called " Private Bills," when opposed, form a very serious item iu the cost of what we cannot help designating "Namal Works." WE feel much concerned for the high digni taries of the Established Church. They have experienced a signal defeat. They suppressed Sunday music playing, rind have given us popular discord and tumult on the Sabbath, in place of what the public—the great living masses—think a harmless recreation. What has been won and lost on either side remains to be told. The Bishops have never interfered with the playing of military bands, within their several dioceses, on the Sabbath. Cathedral towns are famous for the display of the powers of brass bands and kettle drums, on the day the heads of the Church most The selection of the music, on such occasions, is left to some jolly three-bottle Colonel, or the more extensive knowledge of a band-master, who studies to please both officers and Men He never dreams of consulting the taste of the Bishop, or the inhabitants of that Ecclesiastic's town. "Merrily pass the bowl;" " Whistle and I'll be with You my lad ;" " Nannie, wilt thou revere. li me - or " Here's to you, Tom Brown," as likely to be the airs pelected on the road to and from a cathedral, parish church, pr chapel, as that of the Hundredth Psalm. THE COURT, The Regent of Baden arrived at Buckingham Palace at eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning on a visit to the Queen. Her Majesty held a court at three o'clock in the afternoon. Count Appony had his first audience of the Queen, and presented his credentials as Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Emperor of Austria. His Excellency was introduced by the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., the Queen's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Major-general the Hon. Sir Edward Cost, K.C.H., her Majesty's Master of the Ceremonies. The Earl of Clarendon had au audience of the Queen. Prince Albert presided on Tuesday morning at a meet ing of the Royal Commission of the Patriotic Fund, held at the Palace at Westminster. -7Prince Frederick William of Prussia, attended by Lieutenant Baron de Schreckenstein, Baron Moltke, and Captain Heinz, visited the members of the Royal Family at their residences on Tuesday afternoon. =The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, took a drive in an open carriage and four in the afternoon. Prince Albert rode on horseback with the Regent of Baden and Prince Frederick William of Prussia. Her Majesty honoured his Excellency M. Musurus, the Turkish Ambassador, with a visit in the evening at the residence of the Embassy, in Bryanston-square. Her Majesty left Buckingham Palace with Prince Albert at ten minutes before ten o'clock, accompanied by the Regent of Baden and Prince Frederick William of Prus sia. Her Majesty went in state, escorted by a detach ment of the Royal Horse Guards. THE LANCASHIRE MILITIA.—The Malta Mail of the 20th instant states:—" The Colombo steamer came into our port the day before yesterday, having on board the Royal Lan cashire Militia bound for England. On account of her crowded st Lte, a company of the regiment, with all the women and children were disembarked, and are to remain here until conveyance can be prepared for them for Eng land. THE PUBLIC REJOICINGg.—This day at one o'clock, the Royal Lancashire Artil:ery M litia, will fire a feu de joie in the spacious aera in front of St. George's Hall. Afterwards the heroes trout the Crimea, who are now iu this town, will be entertained at a tiioner given by the corporation at the Rose Hill Police-station. Major Greig, the chief constable, has had the management of this portion of the rejoicing department, therefore, we need scarcely say, that there is not the slightest doubt but that the affair will go off with the greatest eclat. THE BRIDGEWATER CANAL AND THE NORTH STAFFORD SHIRE RAHN/Av.—lt is stated in a letter from Stoke-upon- Trent, the head-quarters of the North Staffordshire Railway Company, that although a bill recently introduced into parliament for enabling this company to lease the Bridge water Canal was defeated on standing orders, yet that this property has virtually passel into their bands, and that in the course of a week or ten days the company will assume the direction and management of the traffic, under a lease from the trustees of the Bridgewater property. ACCIDENT TO THE PRINCEiS ROYAL STEAMER.—We learn from a telegraphic despatch, that the Princess Royal steamer, which left this port for Glasgow, on Tuesday afternoon, went ashore during a dense fog yesterday morn ing. It is with much satisfaction we are enabled to state that the Herald steamer, from Dublin, succeeded in getting alongside the Princess Royal, and took her pas3engers on bard, and landed them all well, at Glasgow, yesterday afternoon, It is added that the Princess Royal has about six feet water in her after held. A subsequent despatch mentions that the Princess Royal was expected to flood off yesterday evening, and would be brought round here to re pair her bottom. Her cargo was to be forwarded by &amens to the Clyde. THE SCHOOLS OF ART.—A meeting of a few of the execu tive chairmen and of the masters of the various schools of art throughout the United Kingdom, was held on Tuesday at Marlborough-house, for the purpose of taking into consi deration and discussing the working of the present system, adopted for diffusing a knowledge of elementary drawing among the working classes and their children. Lord Stan ley of Alderley prasided, and the following gentlemen were present, and addressed the meeting on the subject tinder discussion :—The Hon. and Rev. G. Yorke (Birmingham), the Rev. A. Rigg (Chester), Sir Stafford Northcote ter), the Hon. and Rev. T. Best (Hampshire, north-west district), the Rev. J. S. Howcoa (Liverpool), Dr. Branson (Sheffield), and the Dian of Hereford. The masters pre sent were —Messrs. Davidson (Chester), Mitchell (Sheffield), Muckley (Buralem), Hammersley (Manchester). Harnerton iSwansea), Thompson (Warrington), Kyd (Worcester), ice (stoke), and Finnic (Liverpool). FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY EVENING A grand review has been passed to-day by the Emperor, in the Champ de Mars, in honour of the Archduke Maximillian of Austria and Prince Oscar of Sweden. About 25,000 men were under arms, and, as usual, they presented a brilliant appear appearance. The Emperor having on his right hand the Archduke, and on his left the Prince—all three in the uniforms of Generals of their respective countries--and followed by a brilliant staff, prominent amongst whom were Marshals Canrobert and Bosquet ; and several Eng lish and other foreign officers, passed along the lines amidst loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur!" The Empress followed in an open carriage, —the first time her Majesty has appeared in public since her confinement, and she was warmly greeted by the soldiers. The troops after wards filed off before the Emperor and the two foreign Princes. Although reviews are very com mon in Paris, they always attract a vast crowd, and that of to-day did so. One notable fact occurred, namely, when the regiments of General Forey's division, recently arrived from the Cui !flea, passed by —and they were only recognised by wearing the English Crimean medal—they were enthusiasti cally applauded by the spectators, and at the sight of their flags riddled by ball, every head was uncovered. The Austrian Archduke being a sailor by pro fession, and Lord High Admiral of the Austrian fleet (such as it is) intends to visit Cherbourg and other of the great naval establishments of France before his return to his own country. He will probably leave Paris to-morrow for the purpose. Prince Oscar, who is also a sailor, will; no doubt, do the same thing. Count Orloff's son Nicholas, who was wounded at Sebastopol, is shortly to arrive in this city,—if, indeed, he has not already arrived. An Anglo-French company, with a capital of 1,000,0001. sterling, is advertised in the papers for building on the unoccupied sites of the Champs Elysees, and its vicinity. The French Government has represented to the Prussian Government that the treaty of the 15th of April, about Turkey, implies no hostility to the Governments not invited to participate in it. It was stated in the German papers the other day, that the Prussian government had resolved to send a small naval force to the waters of the Nicara gua to defend the subjects of the Zollverein. We have to-day received news that the Austrian government has determined to do the same. Eng land has already a force there, and France we know has one there, or on its way. Have the European • powers entered into an under standing to extinguish Walker and his filibusters' It looks very like it. In connection with this subject it is worthy of note that the Madrid letters of this morning announce that in the Cortes, on the 23rd, a resolution was passed unanimously, promising the support of that body to the government in " exacting" reparation from Mexico for sundry wrongs it has done on Spaniards --and that the Minister of the Interior announced that vessels of war were to be sent out forthwith, charged to exact reparation at " every cost." Decidedly it looks as if Europe had at last made up her m;nd to have a little gunpowder talk with America. St. Petersburg letters say, that the Russian fleet in the Caspian Sea is to be greatly augmented, and that the old sailors of the Black Sea fleet are to be turned over to it ; and they hint that this indicates some tremendous designs against the British pos sessions in Asia. With reference to the Sound Dues question, the semi-official journals of the French government say, that the sum demanded by Denmark is 105,000,000 fr. (4,040,0001) and not 173,000,000 fr. as is stated by the foreign papers, and that the share of France in it is 3,657,000 fr.

MADAME CORELLI'S ENTERTAINMENTS.—ThI series of en t ertainments at present being given by Madame Carelli, a the Great George's street Assembly Rooms, deserve a fuller and more detailed notice than we are at present able to devote to the subject. The lady possesses, not only remarkable powers as a pianiete, a voice of richne3s and compass, and a refined and cultivated taste, but displays the almost vanished and lost talent of the improvisatrice. The entertainment is not only vocal and instrumental, but to some extent dramatic, comprehending recitation, as well as song and piano execution. An evening can nowhere be spent with more gratification than in listening to Madame Corelli ' s development of her remarkable and varied powers. - CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday the coroner held the following inquests : —On the body of John Mason, 72 years of age, who resided in a court off Hornby-street. He was very much given to drink, and whilst in a state of intoxica tion, he fell down stairs and reeeived such injuries that he died. The jury fou Id a verdict of accidental death. On the body of George Birkett, aged sixteen, who was unfortu nately killed on Tuesday morning by falling out of a tree. Verdict, "Accidental death." On the body of John Ed wards, a carpenter, who was engaged in working in a well in Mr. Segar's brewery, in Bevington• bush, and who was killed by falling into it, in consequence of the fops breaking. Verdict, " Accidental death." PORT or LIVERPOOL. —We extract from the Customs' Bill of Entry the following interesting particulars : The number and tonnage of British ships measured in all the ports of the United Kingdom, with the exception of London and Liverpool, in the year ending 30th ultimo, under the Merchant Shipping Act for 1844, was 38,521 ve:ssls, mea suring 727,561 tons. Liverpool, 481 vessels, 200,868 tons. London, 432 vessels, 126,768 tons; making the total num ber of vessels 4,755, measuring 1,055,197 tons, Liverpool being nearly one-fifth of the whole. The return of the number and tonnage of ships that have been entered inwards at this port from, and cleared outwards for, foreign ports, in the week ending 24th May, 1856, as comnared with the corresponding period of the year ending 1855 is—Eatered inwards : Week ending 24th May, 1855—Number of ships, 85; tonnage, ' 36,836. Week ending May 24th, 1856 Number of ships, 70 ; tonnage, 47,968. Decrease in ships, 15. Increase in tonnag.e, 11,132 tons. Cleared Outwards : Week ending 24th May, 185 5—Number of ships, 89 ; tonnage, 45,275. Week ending 24th May, 1856—Number of ships, 109 ; tonnage, 55,577. Increase in ships, 20. Increase in tonnage, 9,302 tons, PINFUL OCCURRPNCE —We understand that early on Thursday morning two gentlemen, one of whom is well known an 1 respected here, and the other a member of the legal profession, met in an oyster establishment in Belfast, when Kme dispute arose between them, and the legal gen 'email lifted a knife and inflicted a wound on the throat oaf theother. The wound is nut dangerous.—Belfast News Letter, GENI , RAL WILLIA.II,IS AT ST. PETERQBURG.—A letter from St. Petersburg of the 17th, in the Nord of Brussels, says : The festivities of this week were closed by a ball given by the Princess Youssoupoff. The Emperor was prevented by slight indisposition from being present. General Williams was one of the lions of the night. A valiant and brave Russian soldier like the English General would no doubt have been well received in England, but it is per mitted to question whether the principal ladies of the English aristocracy would, as was done at. this ball, have caused the General to be presented to them, and have shown him such deep interest. General Williams has a fine head, and wears his uniform well ; but General Ney was even more remarked, Russian sympathies for France being greater than any that England' can inspire. These foreign guests appeared astonished at the magnificence of the Hotel Youssou p o ff and at its immense collections of works of art and of ancient ana modern furniture. The collections of pictures, statues, and, above all, the cele brated family plate of the old Russian type, appeared greatly to interest the English visitors. THE SABBATH QUESTION TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TINES Sir,—l trust you will allow me a short spac e in your e . columns, for the purp o se of offering a few remarks reply to a letter whi c h a pp eare d in your impression el Wednesday last, bearing th e s ig na ture of the Rey. Wnl,' Bannister, chaplain to St. Ja m es's cemetery , Liverpe°.'' From the tone of that note, th e re v. gentleman seems s on share the vexation and annoyance of an unknownn Lealtie incumbent, and the entire body of those who have but l it n 3, reverence for the Sabbath as it is observed in Engla i that the appeal made to the head of her Majesty's govere. ment by the Archbishop of Canterbury against the desis cration of that Holy day has been a successful one. I t not, sir, my intention to en t er u pon any controyerts:e relating to the observance or non -observance a a Lord's Day, but to state as simply a nd as brie fl f can, the reason why, in my opinion, the religious todY this country deemed it their bo un den duty to have removoua. from the parks of the metrop o li s that which they c sidered harmless in itself, b u t which they believed vreeei.. lead to consequences at variance with the religious Tire ings of the great b o dy o f th e peop l e o f this country. 1.5, views held by those wh o l ove th e S a bbath as it no l le . are not such as should expose them to the cha r g e of int° ranee, bigotry, or uncharitableness ; but such harsh narti_ee have been freely used sin ce th e d ec i s ion of the P remier o f a course of procedure mos t p re j u di c ial to the eaus-e those who who employ such terms ; for the cause which ben quires such aid must be considered a bad one ; a nd If e ht vituperation is employed for argument, it has buts ‘.O chance of ultimate success, and must sink in the estim t; of all men who bring a calm and unprejudiced min d to t o f consideration of the question. From the openi n g par op the letter, one would be l e d t o th e conc lusion that a c. e " siderable portion of the c l ergy o f our c h u rch hel d vl similar to the writer, viz., that th e Archbishop was il e :e justified in making the remonstrance that he did; hee:3-0. a large body of the clergy san c ti on the doings oftireeh Hall. Now, as one of the clergy, I protest again ss eer °` t an assumption on the part of an y individual reote that body ; and I assert that such a statement s hould to have been sent forth to the publi c w ithout suffici ellt ht to go on. True it is, that an un k nown incumbent thoug t ; proper to addr ss a letter to th e Ti m es on the ° Wee y e ierg , but is this any proof that a la rge portion of the e are dissatisfied with what th e Primate has d T i n ri . e Is any inference to be draw n from the fact °I tef or two objecting to such a line of conduct on the Pa r of his Grace, that there is any party composed of clergi.. e the Church of England who do not approve of the s o t i t ; which was taken by the Archbishop of Canterbury' the contrary, it is a fact, placed beyond the sha devf , ° hit doubt, by the entire silence on the part of the clergY , ` th e one excellent and venerable primate has with hi ni clergy of the church, and, had his remonstrance receirt; no attention, the eighteen thousand who comPs e e h clerical body of England and Wales would have M ade st : to a movement as would have compelled any geeernm,ell yield t the regious feelings f the contry, and ne t be led by o infidels and secularists, o together with those nth sympathize with them in their views on the aab t question. Those who desire to see the sabbath kePt' only as a day of rest, but also one of religious o b s erva', cb have been guided by one principle in the opposition rilitie they gave to the opening o f the Crystal palace, 1, British Museum, the National Gallery, and to t he Pl3.lhe ; ing of the bands in the London parks on Sundays' wished to preserve to the English sabbath tha t sancpe , which has always marked it, while, at the same ti they felt persuaded that if they would allow suc h con c es r sions to be granted to the clamour of men w ho neit'llL; cared for religion nor the religious observance of the eoun t , 7' i but, on the contrary, disregarded both, that this would, in a very short time, be cursed with a continen.'v. Sunday—a day which is distinguished from the other 6111' by the fearful increase of depravity which M ar n t 3 conduct of the inhabitants of large towns and cities the continent. They did not oppose the plaYig °f atl bands because they dislike music—because they are de 1 to the soothing effect of sweet sounds—but they o p P°9' the movement of Sir Benjamin Hall, because they I ‘ lle that it was the means to an end—that in a sh ort ...s such haunts of vice as Cremorne and Vauxhall announce to the pub:ic that they would provide for P ° .e d amusements in their way; and to those who have w itee , s t c d or have learned the nature of th e o rg i es th a t are meet in such places nightly, it will be unnecessary to saY the opening of such resorts on the Sabbath would "eit conduce to the spread or advancement of ra 6rali c h or religion. At once sanction the opening ° f places, and the theatres and other places of 110-eia ness would also open their doors, and th at Ir, loon not be confined to London only, but wo uld spread itself over the provinces. The entire ntiestit'ine sir, may be enclosed in a nut shell. Would th e open tire of such places, and the playing of military bands °ll f el Sabbath, change our English Suedav into a, Contine"ar, one ? In my own opinion, and in that . of those Igh ° e ,, n fl r fa ; tain the same views on the subject, it decidedly e t - has and I am still the more persuaded of this, from vi"'" eo ur already occurred in London. will ot occuffnilies space with any remarks respecting the rev. ge ntle- ither proofs for the views he holds. The arguments are "e - It o logical nor original, and ha . ve been refuted agalatu. .:ing rio again. But I cannot conclude thi s letter withou t two points suggested by his letter—one having refereTro to man's duty as a christian, the other having refereueteloto persons. And that I may not misrepresent him.' vi ill g ory the passage :—" I am sure that a vast number of the would gladly see the Sunday a da3 of rest and innoell'eaLrt creation to the labouring classes; a day on vvhich the w hota might be softened and enlarged by love for those with lop° to they join in common and harmless enjoyment --b y Him whose goodness is far better seen by the sinWl e i ll big works, I have learnt in those bitter denunciations °fsoh wrath, which favourite fulminators delight to dwell' 1 .„ to topics may console the elect, but they are more 11"beolde terrify than attract the novice." From what can as the ak ducted from writing so strangely constructea i t he foregoing, I learn that man can worship his me r pal works of Providence ; or, in other words, man c e , a ' e ^ o tor; that worship and homage which is due to the ti r ' n ees. using for his guide the light which nature sq t r oe re Strange doctrine this for a clergyman to hold.
