COOPER and CO., SURGEON DENTISTS, 10, Slater-street, Liverpool, beg to inform the inhabitants of Liverpool and vicinity, that they are at length enabled to MAKE TEETH AVAILABLE TO ALL CLASSES; their price for a Single Tooth being 55., whatever quantity may be required. This, they assure their Friends and the Public, is the full price of their best Teeth; and the price can only be increased by expensive mountings._ The meclianiCal department is filled by Wrst-rate workmen from London and Paris; and it is only the immense quantity manufactured that enables them to fix their prices so low. All operations of the Teeth equally moderate. Filling decayed Teeth with the Mineral 1111morittum, 2s. 6d. ArtifiCial Teeth repaired, remodelled, and brought to their former shape and appearance. They also fasten loose Teeth, particularly of aged persons, whether arising from neglect, the use sf calomel, disease of th( gums, or any other cause. _ SCURVY IN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY PREVENTED, Among the various disorders of the mouth, there are none more destructive than Scurvy, which, on first entering the gums, causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the teeth, penetrating into the gums, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then besome loose and drop out of their sockets, and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other; in short, Scurvy in the Gums affects indivi- will be the primary cause of tooth-ache and decay. • _Messrs. COOPER and Co. are happy to state that they have malady, which, if used in conjunction with their VECIETABLi ANOYDONE TINCTURE, will entirely extirpate the complaint.— Price ss. Attendance daily from Ten till Seven. No connexion with anyotch,er, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, an Eastern Botanical Discovery of surprising efficacy for rendering the Skin soft, clear, and fair, and for bestowing a healthy roseate hue on the Complexion. As a creator and conservator of a transpa rently fair skin, KGWDANDS KALYDOR may be said to exert an almoit magical power. Balmy, odoriferous, creamy, and per fectly free from all mineral admixture, it is distinguished for its extremely bland, purifying, and soothliag effects upon the skin ; while by its action on the pores and "minute secretory vessels, expels all impurities from the surface, allays every tendency to inflammation, and thus effectually dissipates all reduess, tan pimples, spots,,freclo tes L Aorations, and other unsightly cu- The radiant bloom it imparts to the cheek ; and neck; its capabilitiof soothing irritation, renioving cuta neous defects, and all unsightly appearances, render it indis- The constant and persevering use of this invaluable medica ment preserves and invigorates those important functions of the Skin on which deeend its purity and softness—the neoi, hands, and arms assuming and retaining the radiant whiteness so much admired, and affording so unequivocal a mark of attention to the niceties of the Toilet and the graces of Personal Attraction ! To GENTLEMEN who suffer from tenderness and irritation of the face after Shaving, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR will have an un rivalled effect in alleviating and allaying irritation and smarting pain, and rendering the Skin soft and smooth. It is invaluable as a renovating and refreshing Wash during the heat and dust of Summer, or frost and bleak winds of Win ter; and, in cases of Sun-burns, Stings of Insects, Chilblains, Chapped Skin, or Incidental Inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its ex clusive selection by the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, together with the "elite" of the Aristocracy and " Haute Volee ;" from the sultry climes of India, and the Drawing-rooms of Calcutta and Ma dras, to the frozen realms of the Czar and the salons of - .St. Petersburg and Moscow. This exotic preparation is perfectly innoxious, acting in all cases by promoting a healthy tone of the minute vessels, and is the most elegant as well as the most effective Toilet appendage hitherto submitted to universal patronage. THE NURSERY. o One of the most impZiia7AUsesWilii;invaluable Preparation " is its peculiar adaptation for the use of Children and the pur -0 „ poses of the Nursery. As a wash for Infants it cannot be too `„' strongly recommended; cooling, healing, and innoxious, it may O be used by the most delicate lady or child with assurance of the 0 most perfect safety and effect : it preserves and beautifies the 0 young and tender skin, and insures it from derangement by 0 external causes. LA DIES who, while nursing, suffer pain from sore or inflamed "„ nipples, will find an unfailing relief in the KA LYDOR ; and from ; its peculiar power to allay irritation and cool the mouth, it ren „" tiers pleasing and painless that most delightful task imposed by ' maternal duty. CAUTION. Its high and universal reputation causes unprincipled Shop keepers to offer spurious compounds for sale under the title of f°KA LYDOR," composed of mineral astringents utterly ruinous " to the Complexion, and by their repellent action endangering 9 health. o -- iCftherefore imperative on purchasers to see that the words " ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" 0 are on the EnVelope (an Engraving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. PERKINS, BACON, and Co.) To protect the Public from Fraud, the Hon. Commissioners of Stamps have directed the Proprietors' Name and Address thus— A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-garden, to be engraved on the Government Stamp which is affixed on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per Bottle. Sold by the Proprietors, and by Chemists and Perfumers. *** All other" KALYI)OR'S" are FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS. 2 9 8 2 0 2 0 2 0 2 0 REPEAL OF THE UN lON SETTLED AT LAST.—The ec centric member for Galway has put upon the books of the House of Commons a series of extraordinary motions, to be moved by hitn on Thursday next. They consist cf four bills, being a series of measures having for their ob ject to heal all party differences, and thereby to consoli date the wealth, power, and resources of the British em pire, simply by securing a real bona fide independent legislature for Ireland. REPORTED Loss OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.—A pas senger on board the Sons of Commerce, Williams, from Hobart Town to London, arrived at Pernambuco on the 21st December, reported that a vessel, with emigrants, bound to Port Philip, supposed to be the Cataraque, from Liverpool, had been totally wrecked on the Harbinger Reefs, at the west entrance to Bass's Straits, and that 414 persons had been drowned. The news had reached Ho bart Town on the 24th Septerab.:r, the day previous to the sailing of the Sons of Commerce. OFFICIAL RESIGNATIONS.—The Morning Post has several paragraphs of gossip on this subject, which have not been contradicted. The following, it is stated, have tendered their resignations in consequence of Sir Robert Peel's free-trade policy :—Lord Arthur Lennox, brother of the Duke of Richmond ; Mr. Milnes Gaskell ; the Hon, Arthur Duncombe, brother to Lord :Feversharn (Equerry to the Queen); Capt. William Gordon, brother to the Earl of Aberdeen (Lard of the Admiralty); the Earl of liardwiclie (Lord of the Bedchamber) ; the Mar quis of Exeter (Groom of the Stole to Prince Albert). Among the other seceders are named, the Marquis of Granby. Lords Delawarr and Forester. DISTRESSING CASE. — On Sunday morning, a poor widow woman named Eliza Schovie, residing in a house in Gomer-street, (No. 17), being enceinte and in great des titution, delivered herself of a child. The child, which was born at ten o'clock, died in about three hours after. wards. The mother was without clothing beyond some rags, and was destitute of all the necessaries of life in her perilous situation. It was found that she had also three fine children equally unprovided for. Her husband was a seaman, had gone abroad in June last. leaving her only one month's wages, (probably all in his power,) and ac- counts bad since been received that he had died. The beadle, with his usual alacrity in such cases, applied to the authorities at the workhouse and readily procured the requisite relief in clothing, food, and a small sum of mo ney. The case is, nevertheless, one worthy of the consi deration of the humane. EXTRAORDINARY APTITUDE OF REPLY.—We give in O another column a digest of the sermon of Dr. Pusey, I 0 I preached at Oxford on Sunday last, which appeared in the 0 O London Times of last night, which arrived in Liverpool o at half-past three o'clock. Granting that, at the very earliest, it could be delivered at four, a.m., it might come into the hands of the Rev. Hugh at that hour. We had our reporter at a meeting last night of the Prayer o Book and Homily Society, which commenced at seven 6 o o'clock, at the commencement of which the Rev. Hugh O M'Neile was present, and during the proceedings delivered a reply to the Rev. Doctor's sermon, which, for aptitude O and sound, argumentative oratory, has rarely been sur- O passed even , by that most eloquent and able speaker. We regret that,, in the present state of our columns, and at this late hour, we cannot do justice to the Rev. Gen tleman. To all who had the pleasure of hearing, how. O ever, his speech will ever be a triumph of intellect,unsur passed, and not likely to be surpassed. o GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.-011 Friday evening, the 9 workmen in the employ of Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy, Engineers, met at Mrs. Rawson's, the Lamb and Flag Inn, and sat down to an excellent dinner prepared in the O best style by the worthy hostess. The object of meeting was to present Mr. Alexander Colville, one of the fore -0 men in Messrs. Bury and Co.'s establishment, and who is O about to leave the employ, with a token of respect for the uniform kindness and urbanity invariably evinced by him towards the workmen whom he superintended. The chair 4 was taken by Mr. Adam Ainslie, a foreman in the same 0 employ, and after dinner and the usual loyal to as t s , the health and prosperity of the firm was given with immense 4 cheering. The chairman then called on Mr. Walter Stewart to present Mr. Colville, in the name of the work -6 men, with the testimonial, which consisted of a handsome silver watch, richly chased and ornamented, guard and all 6 appendages, and bearing a suitable inscription. Mr. Col -33 ville returned thanks in very feeling terms, and said he should always be impressed with the most exalted and grateful sense of their generosity and kindly feeling, and hoped his successor would meet with the same regard from o them that he bad experienced. The health of the com -0 mittee was then proposed and duly responded to, and the evening was spent throughout with the utmost hilarity 7} and good friendship. Tlll4, LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Loral aitb firobintial 3eb39. W. F. Hulton, Esq., has been gazetted a deputy lieu tenant for Lancashire. The assizes will commence at Chester on Saturday, March 28. The inhabitants of Warrington, at a public meeting, have decided on applying for a charter of incorporation. At the post-office in this town, nearly 120,000 money orders are granted during the year, the commission only on which must amount to above £2,000. The bridge erected by Mr. Marsden, of Liverpool, at Creg Willey's-bill, Isle of Man, was carried away by the recent flood, and both arches destroyed. About ten o'clock, on Thursday night, a man, named Tc.omas M'Gratb, dropped down and instantly expired, at his residence in Croston-street, Toxteth-park. ANOTEIER DOOMED FRIGATE.—One of the best ra zees in the navy, the Dublin, 50-gun frigate, late the flag ship in the Pacific, has been selected by the. Navy Office for a lazaretto for Liverpool, to replace the Merlin. We observe that the great Western steamer will start from this port on her first trip this season, to New York, on the 11th of April, and the Great Britain on the 9th of May. _ . . . . . A man of the name of Nathaniel Currie is now in cus tody at Manchester, charged with the murder of a young woman named Elizabeth Ellison, whose body was found Cada', on the 10th instant. The collections, at the opening of the Irish Presbyterian Church, on Sunday last, amounted to the extremely libe ral sum of £243; and_the receipts since have been £43, making a total of £286. Fort Anne, the residence of Sir William Hillary, at the Isle of Man, has been sold to James Newton, Esq., Cheadle Heath, Cheshire, proprietor of Harrold rower, for the sum of £l3OO. The new iron steam-packet now building in the Clyde for the station between Liverpool and Douglas, will be called the Tynwald, the hill on which all the laws of the island must be proclaimed before they are acted upon. Fifty gentlemen were present at the annual dinner of the Liverpool Chess Club, at the Adelphi Hotel, on Wed nesday. Mr. Augustus Mongredien occupied the chair, and the vice-chair was filled by Mr. James Lister. We understand that at the council meeting to-morrow an elaborate report will be made respecting the bill to be brought into Parliament for providing abundant water and pure air for the town. CHILD SCALDED TO DEATH.—On Wednesday morn ing week, Elizabeth Champion, a child about two months old, pulled a cup of hot coffee over her and was severely scalded. She died on Sunday week. OXTON.—This rapidly improving township is now lighted up with thirty patent naptha lamps. The lamps are fitted up with what are termed coxcomb burners, having a powerful reflector, of the butterfly shape.

The other morning papers containing the debate to the close were received here at noon. mier's lower down On Friday, an inquiry took pl , c3 before Mr. Rushton as to the expulsion of three members from the Maid of Erin Lodge of Odd-fellows. The complainant had made application for an arbitration under one of the rules of the order, and the defence was, that that rule was an interpo lation. The case was adjourned. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Friday morning last, Mr. R Maxwell, formerly a travelling draper, was fou d dead, orning, at his lodgings at about eleven o'clock in the who had acquired a band;utr.e . -0 competency by his business, has, for several years, unfor tunately given himself up to great dissipation. On Wednesday n'ght, a man nam Bostock-street, after having been drinking in a publi c _ house in Scotland-road, went homewards by Boundary_ road, where, in getting over a field wall about three yards high, he fell down upon some stones. Ile was taken home in a state of insensibility, and died on the following morning of apoplexy. _ _ ing in FEMALE BURNT TO DEATH — On Saturday afternoon, Mlry Arger, an aged female, was burnt to death in her house. The deceased resided in Great Orford -street, and some of the neighbours having heard groans, went into the house and found her in flames. The fire was ex tinguished, but she was severely burnt, and died in a short time after the accident. _ THE MILITIA.—The following are the qualifications for holding commissions in the militia : For colonel I:1C00 a-year landed property, or to be heir-apparent to £2OOO a-year. For lieutenant-colonel £6OO a-year landed property, or to be heir-apparent to £l2OO a-year. For major £4OO a-year landed property, or to be heir-appa rent to £BOO a-year. For captain £2OO a-year landed property, or to be heir-apparent to £4OO a year. One half of such property must be in the county to which such regiment belongs. ANOTHER FATAL GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION.—On Friday evening last, at Madelev, which is situate eight miles south of Crewe, on the Grand Junction Railway, some children were purloining gunpowder from a barrel in their father's house, which was kept for blasting in the mine, when, accidentally, one of them let a candle fall on the barrel, which immediately exploded, and, in a Moment, reduced the house to a ruin. The children were seriously injueed, but are expected to recover. The unfortunate mother, who was in an upper room, was carried up along with the floor, and was literally shattered to pieces. The inhabitants of the adjoining cottage were happily out, and consequently escaped this dreadful catastrophe. There were thirty-two pounds of gunpowder in the house, the whole of which exploded. Four of the adjoining cottages were mach damaged. SEIZURE OF THE BRIG LADY SALE. OF THIS PORT, By A PORTUGUESE MAN-OF-WAR.—Considerable sen sation has been occasioned in this town amongst the merchants engaged in the African trade by the illegal seizure of the brig named, whilst trading on the coast of Africa for palm oil, ivory, &c. It appears from a French paper, which first published the account, (substantially correct), that the vessel, which belonged to the house of Charles Horsfall and Son, had been two or three months in Rio Zaire and Congo to procure palm oil and ivory, but not being successful, was going to Ambrez to take a cargo of copal, when she was captured, during the ab sence of the captain, by a Portuguese man-of-war, and afterwards condemed by the Portuguese authorities on the assumed ground she had on board 26 casks of water, several bags of rice, and some bars, and that therefore the probability was that she was a slaver. There was not the slightest ground for such an imputation. The articles stated are always taken out by vessels in the legitimate trade to the coast, and are actually necessary to pursuing it. The Portuguese judges have been over zealous in their construction of the slave treaty between the two countries, and a repmentation from her Majesty's Government will, we trust, be promptly attended to by our ancient ally of Portugal, so that restitution may be made. The idea of any vessel belonging to Messrs. Horsfall being engaged in the slave trade is, of course, preposterous. A:inoctous CRUELTY.-At Manche;ter Police-court, on Friday, a man and his wife, named Marshall, who keep a beerhouse in that town, were brought up fur hav ing ill-treated a decrepid old woman, 67 years old, the mother of the male prisoner. One witness said that he was passing the house of the prisoners the preceding day, 1 when he perceived Marshall's wife swinging round a double rope, with which she was flogging an old woman, who appeared to be fastened in a chair. The woman, after beating the poor old creature with the rope, struck her with her fist, and afterwards ran at her and kicked her just underneath the knee. He then tapped at the window, in hopes that when the woman found her bruta lity was observed she would desist, and his doing so seemed to have the desired effect. Mr. Beswick, the superin tendent of the police, said that he had been to the house, and found the wretched parent fastened to a chair in the cellar by an iron chain, which was passed round one of her arms and waist, and secured through the spindles at the back of the chair by a padlock Her arms were left at liberty, but on her hands they had placed a pair of long gauntlets, formed of strong bed ticking, which came up to and were fastened at the elbow, the bottom portion or fringes of these gauntlets being formed of strong leather, like the shield used by a " hedger and ditcher." The case was remanded. LAUNCH.—On Wednesday, the launch of two steamers took place from Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Co.'s yard, Pottery. About half-past ten o'clock, everything being in preparation, the Windsor, for such she was named by Mrs. Grantham, left her stocks, and glided beautifully into the water. In a few minutes afterwards the second vessel was launched, and christened by another lady the Ajax. The first-named vessel is the property of the City of Dublin Company, and is intended to ply between this port and Belfast. She is 200 feet between perpendiculars, has 20 feet beam, and 16 feet depth of hold ; her extreme length over all is 230 feet. She was built under the im mediate superintendence of Mr. Grantham. The Ajax is the property of the City of Cork Company, and is to be placed on the station between London and Cork. Her dimensions are about the same as those of the other ves sel, having but five feet more In length, and two inches in depth of hold. Sbe was built under the direction of Mr..l. Haselden. Both vessels will be fitted up with engines of 350 horse power, constructed by Messrs. Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy. These vessels have been erected in the short space of six months, and being built upon a different construction in their fine lines, some interest is felt as to their sailing qualifications. The keel of another ve ssel, the fourth in succession for the same City of Cork Company, is about to be laid by Messrs. Vernon, which, we understand, is to be of less tonnage than either of the vessels launched on Wednesday, and is to be provided with engines of 400 horse power. FRESH PRESERVED BOILED BEEF.—This novel, but excellent article of importation, is brought before the no tice of our readers to-day in the advertisement of Mr. Windle, of Bath-street, which appears in our first page. It is made up, after being cooked, in air-tight tin cases, and is principally fed on the banks of the Danube, in Hungary, where, the pastures being rich, it is considered excellent in quality. At the price of , 10. per lb., cooked, and free frcm bone, it is likely to supersede the salt pro visions usually supplied to ships, thereby almost ensuring good health, and partibularly freedom from scurvy to the crews, for whose use it may be provided. Mr. Windle is the only large holder and importer of it in Liverpool, and finds the demand daily increasing. This article, under Sir R. Peel's abolition of the duty on fresh beef, at the unprecedented low price, would be a boon to the labouring classes of this country, who must be paying from 7d. to 7d. for fresh beef with the bone in it. At present, the stock is but limited, and owing to the Danube being frozen, no increased supply need for some time be expected. It is really tender, mellow, add deny; EXTRAORDINARY AND ALARMING OCCURRENCE About twenty-five minutes before twelve o'clock on Saturday forenoon, great alarm and anxiety were excited in Fenwick-street, in the surrornding neighbourhood of Exchange Ward, and shortly after throughout the business parts of the town, (to which the news quickly spread,) by the instantaneous falling down of a large heavily-lad bonded warehouse, extending between 11 the Old Ropery,—two small streets runni wick-street westward, and parrallel with James •stref one of the principal thoroughfares from Castl George's-pier. It was known that a number of treet and g out of Fen- s . many was not then known) were at work within the bni ing at the time, and the apprehension at first entertai was that about twenty bad lost their lives; but it happily soon afterwards ascertained that but one man was missing, the others employed having escaped with their lives almost by a miracle,—though there is yet an uncer tainty whether some one or more, casually :Moor-street, might have fallen victims, a great portion et the ruins and contents of the building having been launch ad into that street, which they blocked up to the heigl upwat ds of twenty feet. An immense number of s, tors speedily congregated towards the spot (and the cm. still continues to be consideable), but, with the exception of a few who had an immediate interest in the catastrophe. or those in authority, they were kept at a safe distance by the police. The warehouse, known as " Hammond's", was the pro perty of Mr. John Tipping, and rented by Mr. D.•an, ho again sub-let the rooms (as is usual) to several tenants, amongst whom were Messrs. Wiliiam Steels and Co.. Mr. Slattery, Messrs Wilds, Pickersgill, and Co., and one or two others. It had two frontages, one to each street named; was seven stories high from the ground ; and its length from street to street was upwards of 30 yards. The building was an old one, having been known upwards of 40 years; but it had undergone repairs, and about two years ago was furnished with iron doors as a security from fire. It does not appear to us, on looking at the rem :in ing walls, or the mortar or woodwork, that the ware house was built less strongly than is usual ; and as an in quiry will no doubt be instituted into the cause of its downfall, we refrain from observation further than re • marking from what we can learn, and have ourselves ob served from the middle of the ruins, that it was not loaded to a very extraordinary degree, though nearly full, and that the accident is one which is involved in the chapter of probabilities. Certainly no person would wil fully store valuable property, such as grain, flour, 84., in such quantity as they believed would subject great part of it to destruction ; and amongst the conjectures entertained by ourselves and others, we think it likely that some of the internal wooden props, or pillars, between some of the floors--all of which were not equally loaded--must have been drawn from their places in the beams above by the slight swagging of the floors in some of the lower stories, and bad dropped down unobserved so as to leave no continuous support from top to bottom of the build ing —or, what is quite as probable, that the grain or pulse in bulk in some of the rooms, had by its latteral pressure, (something in the nature of water,) burst out the walls at the Moor-street end. This is the more probable, from the fact that the premises were heaviest laden at that end, and that nct only was the frontage there,—of course, unsupported from without, but also the side wall on the west, over half its length, there being a va cancy or hiatus there between it and the next warehouse mling, a The Mayor, Mr. James Lawrence, Mr number of police-inspectors, officers, and others, wer promptly on the spot, with a number of labourers engaged at the moment to clear away the wreck as speedily as possible, and above all to save the lives of any persons that might be under the ruins. It was at first thought that there were some men in the cellar at. the Moor-street end, which contained rum belonging to Mr. Wm. Pres ton, and was vaulted, and a hole was dug through from the cellar of the warehouse on the east, by Mr. Hewitt, of the fire-police. and his men, with a view to extricate them ; but it was soon afterwards learned from an excise officer who had been there shortly before that the men emr loyed had left previous to the aocident. At the same time it was rumoured that the voice of a suff-rer was heard under the ruins and near their top, and great exer tions were made to get him out with all due caution, but this it afterwards appeared was a mistake, the only really missing man being probably much nearer the other, or Old Ropery end, arid not yet found. . At the time of the accident there were nine men in the room No. 2, t he second taking in wheat by Mr. Thomas - Lawtrey ; and there were three men in the jigger -loft—the seventh story— hoisting it up. On Thursday they had taken in about 300 bags into that room, 800 on Friday, and 300 on Saturday, or about 1,400 in all. These men all escaped save one. They were luckily engaged at or near the Old Roper) , frontage, the outer or front wall of which (supported lr warehouses on each side) did not fall, though it consider ably bulged out from between the ground and the fourth story. We have seen one of these fortunate garties— Peter Kelly—who keeps an oyster-shop at the top of flood-street. He is an intelligent man, and has given us some interesting information. He and his two companions, Edward Norman and Patrick . were in the jigger loft. The first intimation of impending danger was a gust of wind. lie was then about eight yards from the en trance of the warehouse stairs, and had the cat-head gearing and ropes to jump over in making his exit. All three of them were, at the time, in the gangway, a long narrow scaffold boarded up at the sides, and near the roof of the building, being the communication, for convenience, from the jigger tackle at one front of the warehouse to that at the other. Immediately after the gust of wind, about three fourths of the whole warehouse and its contents took their de parture and were launched into Moor-street. A crash was first heard, and a cracking in all directions. An im mense cloud of dust instantly enveloped them, and they had to grope their way. He got out of the loft first—he scarce knows by what Providence. The others followed, and they got down stairs with a celerity they never ex ercised before. They, in fact, tumbled down, and were more or less hurt, though not seriously. Our informant states that he found the door at the bottom jammed up, and was almost hopeless of escaping, but felt himself endowed, as he thought, with " the strength of a lion," and succeeded in forcing it open. Thankful he and his comrades expressed themselves for their delivery. In room No. 2 eight out of the nine escaped. Two of them jumped out of the doorway, a height of nine or ten feet. Six of the eight were hurt more or less. Kelly thinks that there were six or seven thousand tons of stuff in the warehouse altogether, including wheat in bulk, American flour in barrels, a large lot of peas, &c. If the accident had happened on the previous day, when the men were employed at the Moor-street end, all of them would have perished, except two who were at the Old Ropery end. The missing man, Peter Tracey, was trucking at the time, and was down the room No. 2 about two-thirds of its length from the Old Ropery frontage. He is stated to be a respectable, industrious man—a widower, with three children. On Saturday afternoon one of his sons was seen about the ruins, crying for his father, and on Sunday his daughter was there, also in great distress. Amongst the injured were Owen M'Kenna, aged 26, who had his hip knocked out of joint ; Thomas Cash, disfi gured in the face and and hands; John Golan, hurt with a nail in the shoulder, and also hurt in the back. One of them was sent to the Infirmary. Three of the rooms were filled with wheat, one with pease, and the others with 4000 or 5000 barrels of flour. A great number of men were employed on Saturday, Sun day, and yesterday, in carting off the grain, materials, &c., and as the weather has been dry the destruction of the produce will, probably, not be very treat, though, doubt less, considerable from admixture with the rubbish. It is still a matter of uncertainty whether there are not some parties under the ruins in Moor-street—casually passing at the time ; but the probability seems to be, that but one man has lost his life. There were several narrow escapes —especially of a servant girl at Mr. Dodd's public-house, nearly oppcoite, who was shaking a carpet whenlhe ava lanche took place—and two horses in a lorry who took fright at the crash, and got away. It is suggested that there should be appointed an in spector of warehouses, who shall determine what weight, particularly of grain, the several mercantile buildings are capable of sustaining, so that such accidents may not recur. At the request of the mayor, Mr. S. Holme was early on the ground, and speedily got his men to shore up the insecure wall standing in the Old Ropery. A very perilous piece of wall left at the south corner of the warehouse was also pulled down by them on Saturday afternoon. A great number of men continue to be em ployed in extracting the flour, wheat, pease, &c., from the ruins, and the ends of the streets leading to the scene of destruction are still crowded with anxious enquirers. The ruins are yet upwards of 12 feet high in Moor-i treet, although a large quantity of stuff has been taken away. Up to dark last night when the men gave over working, the body of the supposed only man killed had not been found; and from the immense mass of materials, it may be some time before the remains are found. Parts of the upper floors at the Old Popery end sre left standing, still supporting tiers of flour barrels. EARLY CLOSING OF THE MARKETS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD Slll,-It is with great pleasure I have been informed that the Markets' Committee, having had the memorial for the earlier closing of the markets under their consi deration, have kindly passed a resolution recom mending to the Council that they should be closed at seven o clock, the first five nights of the business week, and on Saturday evening at ten o'clock, thus dividing the difference between the wishes of the memorialists and the present time of closing, which it is hoped will be pleasing to the public. Too much praise cannot be given them for the promptness they have evinced in doing away this great evil, which has been the cause of such a desecration of the Sabbath. It is understood, however, that a petition the last few days has been got up against the closing on Saturday nights, but I would strongly urge upon the members of the Council the necessity of protesting against it, and support the resolution of the Markets' Committee, which will be the means of lessening the disorder in the neigh bourhood of the markets, and will cause the shops to have no excuse for keeping open until twelve o'clock at night, which they at present do, thus necessarily encroach ing on the Sabbath before they leave the premises. Trusting you will give this a place in your valuable paper, I remain, Sir, yours respectfully. AN ADVOCATE FOR EARLY CLOSING. Liverpool, 31st January, 1816. CALLING OUT OF THE MILITIA.—On Thursday night, Sir James Graham stated in his place in the House of Commons, that at present there was no intention of call ing out the militia ; the only step contemplated by govern ment being to submit to the consideration of parliament an amending and consolidating act. Sir James. however, added, that under the present law the government could call out the militia at a fortnight's notice. DESTRUCTION OF OUR BATHING LOCALITIES Th&recent increase of building on this side of the river, and the new docks, &c., on the other, have made fearfui havoc with our bathing localities. Within the memory of the present generation, the entire north shore, from the Prince's Dock to Bootle Sands, was available to ou r population and to visitors in search of health and relaxa tion. A very few years ako, the shore opposite the Ro tunda, now occupied by docks, was crowded in the sum mer months with bathing machines and bathers of the humbler classes, whilst the Bootle Sands were frequented by the more fashionable portion of our population, and by respectable families from the interior. The growth of the docks northward, and the erection of mari,e villas close to the Bootle shore, which precludes bathing opposite, have left now for the use of the public, as bathing ground, only the space from the N ,- irth Dock works, now forming, to a point nearly opposite the site of the new fort ; and it is doubt lul whether., in a short time, bathing will not be i prohibited altogether on this side of Bootle land-marks, inch- if even it can be enjoyed, with a regard to decency, south height of of Crosby. On the other side of the river, Woodside and Seacombe can no longer be regarded as bathing places. The forma tion of the Wallasey docks has completely changed the character of these localities. Egremont still retains, no minally, its character as a bathing village ; but the en croachment of the sea upon its shore, which is rapidly washing away the high ground, and rendering the shore very precipitous, are fast driving bathers towards the Magazines and New Brighton. The erection of villas and marine parades are similarly changing the character of Rock Ferry and New Ferry from mere bathing places to fashionable suburbs of the town, growing up upon the sites of the ancient hamlets of Birkenhead and Tranmere. At a first glance, it might be concluded that the value of property, in the localities thus converted, and the cha racter of the population as well, has been deteriorated. Such, however, is not the case. On both sides of the river, the price of building land has been materially en hanced, and is rapidly as,urning a value closely approach ing to that of the unoccupied plots in town; whilst the character of the population has been raised both in res pectability and in station. It ought naturally to occur to our authorities to inquire what are the steps which are to be taken to secure to _ as tar as practicable, the facilities of the sea, or. at least, salt water bathing. Hitherto, the ready access to the river has constituted a main source of enjoy , b,• our industrioui population, of this great commu nity conducive to health. It is now well nigh placed beyond the reach of all except the wealthy ; and as we cannot arrest the march of building and improvement, we ought to try to provide efficient baths by artificial means. We have done something already, by the establishment of our Cor poration Baths and Washhouses. It is incumbent on us, however, with a view to the promotion of the public health, to do much more ; and we should strongly recommend it to Council, to consider whether advantageous sites, out of the reach of danger or inconvenience to the ship p'ng, could not be found in our river itself for locating conveniently arranged and capacious floating baths. We do not see why we might not even have one or more of these fitted up for females alone ; and are confident that, with a steamer to ply to each instead of the open boats formerly used, they would be very extensively used, even made a source of profit. The latter consideration, how ever, ought not to be permitted to weigh with such a body as the Corporation of Liverpool. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS (From a Third Edition of the Preston Guardian, of Saturday.) To-day T. Eastwood, Esq., of Brindle Lodge, appeared before the County Magistrates in this town, to prefer a nherffe of assault noon his lady_ Mrs_ Reetwnnd end son. Mr. Henry Eastwood, on the previous Sunday, in Brin dle Chapel, against Robert Walmsley. Thomas Walmsley, Thomas Worden, W. Woodruffe, Join Crook, and W. Atkinson. Mr. Eastwood deposed as follows :—I occupied the tri bune at Brindle Chapel until the first week of October, last year. The Sunday previous the key had been taken from the door during high mass. Not finding it the next Sun day we were unable toe :-• ; 1 - sent my son round by the side. After leaving the chapel, two men met us, and de manded the half-year's rent, which I refused to pay, be cause two months of the half-year were unexo'red. Next the tribune from the interior, found the door boarded up and the bcoks thrown out. We then took s s amongst the poorest people, which we continued to occupy without interruption until last Sunday week. I had permission from one of my tenants, Mr. Sherrington, to use his bench. Last Sunday, on entering the chapel, Robert Y Walmsley was standing at the left hand aisle, with a very large pole, as thick as - a man's arm, and apparently new made. When Mrs. Eastwood got up he placed the pole across the aisle. She said, " Pray let me pass." He said, " No, you must not." She then tried to enter, but he pressed her back with the pole. I asked by whose orders he stopped up the passage ; he said, " by Mr. Smith's" (the priest). I asked to pass, he refused, and I attempted, but he pushed me back with the pole. Mr. Eastwood then related the facts that occurred at aisle No. 2, where similar obstructions were offered and added, that on looking down the chapel he saw the vestry door was open, and Mr. Croft standing in his vestments prepared to say mass, and another person, whom he took to be Mr. Smith, both looking on. They then went to the gallery stairs, where Atkinson pushed back both Mr. Eastwood and his son ; and then on the opposite stairs, where Worden be haved in like manner to Mr. Eastwood rather rudely. 'They then went to the children's platform, which was not now occupied. it being early mass, and the children attend ing only at high mass. On Mrs. E. ascending the plat form she was met by Thomas Walmsley, who pushed her back with a plate with so much violence, that had she not been supported by witness she would have fallen back on the flags. Thos. Walmsley and Worden pushed her with poles. Mr. E. then confirmed what took place further on the platform, as stated by Mr. Catterall. In cross-examination, Mr. Eastwood said that Mr. Heatley had given Mr. Smith £lOO to build the tribune, and that he did not know whether the benches on which he afterwards sat were penny benches or not. Heard the priest give out two Sundays before that persons coming to the benches at early mass would pay one penny for the accommodation. The priests had got enough of his mo ney without paying pennies. A long discussion ensued betwixt the attorneys and the bench, as to whether the Catholic priest possessed the power of making a charge for sittings in his chapel, and of excluding from those sittings parties who refuse to pay. The whole question appeared to resolve itself into this point, Mr. Noble (defendant's solicitor) declaring that if the priest had this power—which he maintained he had— then Mr. E tstwood himself was the aggre-sor in attempt ing to remove the obstructions to a gratuitous entrance which had been legally placed there, and he contended that in repulsing Mr. and Mrs. Eastwood the defendants had only acted in the discharge of their duty, and had commited no assault whatever. Mr. Catterall, (Mr. Eastwood's solicitor) on the other hand, maintained that the priest had no such power, and that in violently pre venting Mr. Eastwood's access to the chapel accommoda tion, they had, in fact, committed a breach of the peace. The Bench then declared that until this legal question was made clear they would decline adjudicating in the case, and would refer it to the next sessions, in the mean time binding over the defendants to keep the peace. The two Walmsleys then entered into their ow❑ recognizances for £2O each, and the Rev. Mr. Smit h was accepted surety for the others in the amount of £lO each. •••.. [Most of our readers will remember that Mr. East wood's name has been often before the public, in connec tion with legal disputes affecting property which Mr. E. alleged several Romish ecclesiastics have become possessed of, in violation of his (Mr. .'s) just claims.] STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE PAST QUARTER. (From the Quarterly Table of Mortality.) The quarterly returns are obtained from 115 districts, sub-divided into 576 sub-districts. Thirty-f. ur districts are placed under the metropolis, and the 'remaining 81 districts comprise, with some agricultural districts, the principal towns and cities of England. The population was 6,379,693 in 1841. The mortality in the last quarter of 1845 was much lower than is usual, for only 39,178 deaths were regis tered, which is less by 14,740 than the number (43,918) registered in the corresponding quarter of 1844, and and 2,857 less than the average quarter of seven previous years, notwithstanding the increase of the population at the rate of about 1.74 per cent annually. There had been a great decrease in the mortality; the December quarter of 1844 giving the numb r of deaths at 43,918, whilst last quarter there was ( nly 39,178 deaths. The mildness of the season was one cause of di minished mortality. This is illustrated by the table of the deaths, exclusive of those by violence, registered in the metropolis, and the mean temperature at Greenwich of the last six weeks of 1844 and 1845. The deaths and the temperature were the same at first; on the fifth week the deaths were 1,343 in 1844, and only 933 in 1845; the temperature in the previous week (the fourth) had fallen to 28 deg. 2 min. in 1844, and only to 39 deg. 2 min. in 1845. A fall of the mean temperature of the air from 45 deg. to 4 deg. or 5 deg. below the freezing point (32 deg.) of water destroys from 306 to 500 lives in the metropolis. It produces the same results ,on a larger scale all over the country. Nor is it to be wonderei at that a great change of the heat of the air which we breathe and live in should • have such an effect. The deaths returned by the registrars for each year are thus given :—Deaths registered in 115 districts in the year 1838, 162,867; 1839, 162,605; 1840, 171,694; 1841, 160,733; 1842, 161,948 ; 1843, 163,201; 1844, 167.708; 1845, 165,789. In the first three years there were 497,166 deaths; in the last three years, 496,698. The population increased in the districts from which returns have been procured, about 1 74 (nearly 11) per cent. annually, in the intervals of the last censuses, and the excess of births over deaths has continued, so that it may be sa'ely assumed that the numbers living have gone on increasing at the same rate — about 9 per cent in the five years, from the middle of 1839.40 to the middle of 1843-5. Now, the deaths, in stead of increasing with the population 9 per cent, and consequently amounting to 541,9(30 in the last three years were 496,691—1e5s by 45,262 than if the rate of mortality which prevailed in the three years 1838-40 had been sus tained. The improvement may perhaps be partly account ed for by other circumstances; but Bs far as can be seen at pr,sent. it is fairly ascribable to the partial removal of nuisances from large towns, to some increase of employ went, and, we may hope. a consequent ame lioration in the condition of the great body of the people in the dense . . town districts of the kingdom. But an epidemic. gene rated in this or any neighbouring popul , tion, may speedily reverse the results of the tables aad carry off the thousands of lives that appear to have teen spared and saved.

PUSEY'S SERMOT, of Dr. Posey, !eh before the On Sunday morning, it became ►ne canon of Christ Church, Oxford, tc _ university of Oxford. for the first time since his suspension in 1843. At an early hour, the doors of the Cathedral were besieged with hundreds anxious to hear Dr. Pusey, and on being opened every available place for hearing within the building was immediately filled. The Vice Chancellor, attended by thirteen of the heads of houseit and both the proctors. having, with some difficulty, made their way through the dense crowd, took their seats about half-past ten o'clock, and Dr. Pusey having ascended the pulpit, and made the bidding prayer, took the 20th chapter of St John, and the 21st to the 23rd verse for his text. Dr. Pusey then commenced with a slight allusion to his suspension, which he spoke of as a judgment from the Almighty for his secret sins. In that sermon he had never intended to speak controversially, but there were those who thought that when t made of the channels of grace they forg nom who was the means of grace. He wished rather to have dwelt on those gifts conveyed in the Eucharist on which they might have all been united. Dr, Pusey then arrived at the great subject of his sermon, viz :—private confession and absolution. God alone can forgive sins; but would he forgive them less by conveying his forgiveness - through ministers. When in the words of his text he said— , " Receive ye the Holy Ghost; whosoever's sins ye remit are remitted unto them," who honoured ' im moat ft-- observed the command, or those vat- le daily prayers of the Church confess' t I ceded the Lord's Pr aver, and it r e his divine word, and join in nrai ni private absolution the Church were not authorised to use w , i t P n E h i e e t m h Father, e Y" service i a c ab n e d o s o o f fl abso l ve h thet e t ‘Ser n e f , re •tl • exhorted her pr! fession of their sins. tense longing" of the penit,,, a ling awe' of the priest, when I u authority I absolve t" Trinity.

Sin was awful to handle, it was difficult to hear and not be denied. They must keep jealous watch over themselves, framing themselves with discipline, taking care not to be blind leaders of the blind. The power of the keys was not new doctrine, nor had it ever been wholly disused by the Church, although much over laid during the last century. Its revival had originated not in the agency of man, but in penitents, who had re ceived gifts of grace, not from man. hut from the Lord, through his Holy Sacrament. Dr. Pusey then called the attention of those who were tutors in the colleges to the opportunities they had, and the duties of their station, acting in the place of parents and gur:rdians, in the bles sings they might thus con'er on their ruidls.

Rushton and Hornby was occupied in hearing the adj:nirned it quiry of a case arising out of an itifcrunation which hod been laid by Mr. Crarey, one of the building surveyors. The charge was, that a partition wall in the house of Mr. Birchenough, of the Royal Railway Hotel, Lime-street, had been removed in a niaoner contrary to the statute is such cases required The evideoce of Crarey went to show that the wall in qu-stion had been taken down with out his consent, and contrary to the act. The testimony on the other side was to the t ffeet that he (Mr. Crarey) had been consulted in tl.e matter, and positi , ely given his consent to the alterations being made. The defendant was acquitted ---The sever COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. _ course of lectures at this Insti utoti for the present season com menced on Friday. The su'oject is elocution, including remarks and examples thus!' ative of oratory. poetry, and the drama; and the lecturer is IL 11. Smart, Esq., of London, author of " Wacker Remodelled." " Shako perian Readings," " P.actice of Elocution," &e. In saying this, we say sufficient to assure our readers that the course will be in the highest degree interestieg and instructive. Those who were. present on Friday evening need no such assurance, nor any additional inducement to hear the remainder of the curse. The opening lecture was chiefly occupied with an explanation of the nature and uses of elocution, with illustraions. serious am, comic, of the various styles of reading. E osution, the lecturer observed, when properly understood and taught, was in reality an important part of education. It was no{ the art of acting, or even of public speaking exclusivelya it was not the art. of reading with a pomp• us and theatrical' manner. It was- calculated to make all the•other parts Ail education produce their proper effect on the mind. He filen explained the nature of language, showing that artisn lation and modulation were necessary to its perfection; and divided the modes of reading into the mechanical, the sigs nificant, and the impassioned, these being all separate an& distin:t from acting. Mechanical reading was what a chile was first taught, and was similar to the style in which is , person would read a passage, who had the same passage open before him, a simple ettui•ciation of the words without any view to effect. —ln significant reading the object of 04 readerrwas to convey the sense of the words, not to es press a meaning of his own, but merely to tell what fit* ! author saist. This was reading strictly so called, and rot quired modulation of voice to do it properly. The fult expression of a passage must, however, rise beyond this. The reader must adopt the sentiments of the author; tia must make them his own for the time, and deliver theita with all the warmth aid earnestness they might happenla require. To act a passage the [testier must take up another person's manner ; he must suppose himself to be the per son into whose mouth the lines are put. In illnstrarttri of these distinctions the lecturer cited the well-knears. passage from Hamlet, containing Po/onius's advice to hib son. His different modes of reciting it afforded an ad mirable exemplification of his remarks; and, in final 4 assuming, in its deliveey, the character ai,d tones of t 1 superannuated chamb-rain, hie excell-nt mimicry took the audience completely by surprise and drew down thun ders ofapplause.
