STEAM NAVIGATION. The last intelligence from America brings no news of the steamer Pacific, which left Liverpool for New York on the 23rd of January last; and on the other side of the Atlantic, as well as here, her protracted absence has created considerable alarm as to her fate. Still, however, strong hopes are enter tained that even yet she will make hor appearance at her port of destination. Various rumours were afloat in New York when the last advises lett : and the most reliable of these is, that her machinery having become disabled, she is making her way slowly under sail, to the nearest port. Others entertain the opinion that the Pacific has encountered damage from the ice off the banks of Newfoundland, and has been unable to extricate herself. In such case there exists no cause for apprehension that she will fall short of provisions, inasmuch as she went out with a supply for three months. As already mentioned previously, the Pacific had on board, when she left the Mersey, forty- five passengers, namely, fifteen iu the first, and the remainder in the second cabin. We subjoin the following accurate list of all : J. Figuerias, Mr. O'Reilly, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Charlesworth, H. C. Shildon, Mr. Charrinaud, Mr. Lieden, W. B. Symmons and lady, A. W.

TRANSATLANTIC STEAMSHIPS COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY (BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, ESQ., JUDGE.) The second March meeting of this court opened yester- About another month will complete the period of eighteen years, when the first answer was given to the question—" Will success attend the project of navigating the Atlantic by steam ? "—was solved. On the 23rd April, 183 S, the solution was supplied by the almost simultaneous arrival, at New York, of the Sirius from Cork, and the Great Western from Bristol. The problem of " possibility" was solved, and a demonstration afforded to the world of the achievements which enterprise, skill, and courage can accomplish. The lapse of eighteen years has served to fortify, strengthen the hopes, and verify the prophecies, which were, at the outset, entertained and advanced. The subjoined narrative, and the statistics appended, will show the extent to which anticipations have been realised, and the change which time has brought about. We have now fourteen lines of steamers actually running between the United States and Europe, comprising no less than forty-two vessels ! Their rise and progress is curious. The Sirius and Great Western did not long enjoy a monopoly of the ocean ferry. They were quickly joined by the Royal William (which made a trip or two), the Great Liverpool, the British Queen, and President. Soon the Sirius and British Queen were sold, the President went down, and their place was taken by a new line, called the Cunard line, who launched four steamers—the Acadia, the Caledonia, the Britannia, and the Columbia : they commenced to run about 1840, and ran from Boston and Halifax to Liverpool. In 1843. the Columbia was lost—the only vessel ever lost by the Cunard line; all the lives on board day. NON-PROFESSIONAL. AGENTS AND TIIEIR CHARGES.—The attention of his Honour was drawn to a case in which a man named Dickenson was plaintiff, and the amount claimed was 17s 9d, and in which the plaintiff was induced to avail himself of the services of a person named Parsons, not a professional man , as a and conducted the gent, who took out the case as summonses,:feed the advocate , l a kind of intermediate agent, swelling up considerably the plaintiff's expenses, by charges for his personal ser vices. His Honour informed the plaintiff, that if he had himself come to the offices of the court, he would have received every information he required from the proper officers, and have got the summonses, and got the case heard at a total expense of 2s 11 d : which amount, he was happy to say, was about to be reduced still further. He did not see, 'however, that that court could deal with the matter, as it was a kind of practice, which might have taken place in connexion with the courts at Westminster, or any other court. He did not know, however,:that Mr. Par sons was not liable to be tried for obtaining money under false pretences, and he would be very happy to see some of these parties who represented themselves either as professional men, or as having some connection with that court, successfully prosecuted at the assizes. If parties wished to employ au agent in any case, however small, it was far safer to employ a professional man who had a character to maintain and a certain position in connection with the court in which he practised, by which he was open to be punished if he misconducted himself, than a non-professional person who had neither character nor official position to support. He was afraid that many of that class of persons were loitering constan' ivh about the passages of the court. He himself had had two or three of them removed. They being about the passages and representing themselves to illiterate persons as having something to do with that court. They had nothing whatever to do with the court.

The piece of candle, as discovered in the morn ing, was about three inches long, there being rather more than that length of wick—from which the material of tho candle had been stripped—projecting from it, charred at the end, and the supposition is that this length of wick was left to enable the candle to be dropped more surely into the box. Fortunately the latter was very deep, so that the lighted wick, as it would appear, was extinguished by the fall into it, and thus the intent on t h e et the villain who prepared it was foi led. The property e premises is of large value, and as we said, not only might It have fallen a victim to the flames, but the lives of the inmates would have been imnerilled, not to speak of the property and life in the adjoining houses.

MANSFIELD.) LITERATURE is Two SERMONS ON THE EXTERNAL. AND INTERNAL EVIDENCES OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. By the Rev. John Macnaught, of St. Chrysostom's, Everton. We have at last been enabled to obtain the perusal of the two sermons by the just opular divine, whose name heads this paragraph. The . first sermon, on the external or historical evidences, which, from its nature, is, as it can only be, a compilation I ron? other and the author volumi nous works; and in dealing with this subject, has shown his ability and discretion, by not crowding theit with unnecessary matter — h e has gone straight to point, which is to prove historically the rationali t y of h the belief in the Christian religio n. The subject, thg not new, we may, nevertheless, yield to the author a claim to originality, for the lucid and manl y manner of dealing with the question. He gives, in the small space of twenty four pages, the reader matter enough to enable him to have a very tolerable knowledge of toe truth and trust worthiness of his religion. In the second discourse, the author has had more scope for the working of his genit . is. He has dealt with the matter enti rel y in his peculiarly powerful style, appealing to the hearts and understanding of his people. This liberal minded and philosophical divine,;bids fair to become a very useful and influential preacher; he is bold and truth-loving, and will neither pander to the ignorance, nor yet to the morbid religious sensibilities, of the age. No man can hear the Rev. John Macuaught, however much he may differ from him, without feeling himself stimulated to an honest, manly, and holy course of We. It is hence why we feel emboldened to direct our readers' attention to these two sermons. They will find no reference made to the scriptures—the ques tion is wholly maintained without this aid ; thus leaving the reader to supplement that powerful support himself. We bid this young divine God's speed; feeling confident that he will uphold the honour and dignity of his profes sion. We hear the rev. gentleman is to preach a sermon on Good Friday morning, on the " Atonement." , P6.l.......'....ane.asmoneliiimis= - - LIVERPOOL CA.NVASS FOR SUNDAY - SCHOOL SCHOLARS. A meeting of clergymen of all evangelical protestant denominations, delegates from Sunday schools, and others, was held in the Hope Hall, Hope-street , last night, for the purpose of receiving the repo rt of a preliminar y meeting held on the sth of November l ast, to procure statistical information relative to the attendance at Sunday schools in Liverpool, and to consider the propriety of organising a simultaneous canvass of the borough for Sunday scholars. The chair was taken by the Rev. Dr. Raffles. Among those present were—Rev. Messrs. Falloon, Minton, Parry, Wolseley, Cowan, Dr. Hume, Barry, Bardsley, Macnaught, Hunt, V. White, Dawson ; Messrs. Macft., Buckley, Brown, Harrison, Pilcher, &c. The Chairman said he could not conceive any purpose more important than that for which they were then assembled, and he did not think it necessary to occupy any portion of their time in any introductory address for the purpose of illustrating it. He was sure the deep interest they felt in it, and the vast importance they attached to it, were the considerations which had brought them there that night. They had been appalled at the fearful prevalence of depravity among the juvenile population of that great town, and they could not be as tonished at it, when the appalling fact was announced to them, that more than half that popu'ation, the children of the working classes in Liverpool, attended no Sunday school at all. He was not one of those who ascribed all the vice and immorality which prevailed among them, to the want of education, although it had largely to do with it. Therewere other causes,operating to produce these results, and among others, perhaps none more powerful than the so lamentable social condition ofthe poor, and the way in which the people of a ll ages, and both sexes, were crowded together in small apartments. (Loud cheers.) Living in that sort of indiscriminate way, it seemed alto , gether impossible to produce any good or happy results as to the promotion of good 'morals among them, while nnr,tinepd. But still they THE ESTABLIS W HED CHURCH AND THE ESLEYA.NS. Several meetings have been held within the last few weeks at the Rectory-house of St. James's, Piccadilly, which have been attended by Lord C. A. Harvey, Mr. 'l'. Chambers, M.P., Mr. Henry Hoare, the banker, the Rev. J. E. Kempe, rector of St. James's; the Rev: Dr. Burgess, rector of Upper Chelsea ; the Rev. Prebendary Hawkins, B.D. ; and other clergymen and laymen, the object being to consider " what measures it may be expedient to take for promoting union with the Church of England on the part of Christians not at present in active communion with tier." A committee was appointed who directed their attention to the Wesleyans—lst, because the Wesleyans generally disclaim the designation of dissenters ; because Wesley expressed himself to the last most strongly against any separation from the Church of England; 3rd, because the apathy of the Church of England in the eighteenth century contributed to their estrangement; 4th, because there existed on the part of several Wesleyan ministers a wish for spiscopal ordina tion ; and sth, because the reconciliation of so influential a body seemed to be an important first step towards general religious union. The recommendations of the committee have been embodied in a petition to convo cation, which will be presented at the forthcoming meet ing in April. They express an opinion that the retention by the Wesleyans of their system of class meetings need not be an insuperable obstacle to their union with the church—that the usual probationary course shall be reduced, no longer time being required than may be neces sary to enable the Lishop to satisfy himself as to the qualifications of the candidate—that the property and patronage of the Wesleyan body shall remain intact—and that, if possible, the Wesleyans be induced to revert to the principles of their founder by receiving the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper in the parish church only. The petition, after setting forth the advantages which would result from Wesleyan ministers receiving episcopal ordi nation, calls upon both houses to take the matter into serious consideration. It is stated that this movement has been set on foot by some well-known preachers of the Wesleyan body, who desire to become ministers of the Established Church, but who are at the same t ime dis inclined to sever their connexions with their present congregations. which had tallied the eat with the ques beyond any do r.

This was not a meeting to ask for more money. That was not a consideration which ought to weigh with them. It was not a meeting to provide morel schools, but to gather children into the schools which were already provided. He believt were few, if any, 50h0013 in Liverpool whic_ not receive a far larger amount of children than were already in them. They wanted, then, to impress upon the minds or parents the importance of education for their children, and to bring them under the. course of instruction which these schools supplied. The Secretary (Mr. Edmund Buckley) read the report, which produced a number of statistics, showing that upwards of 35,000, or equal to fifty-three per cent, of the children of the working classes of Liverpool did not belong to any Sunday school, and that about 44,000, or 66 per cent. of such children, were not in any school on Sunday the 16th of December last, the day appointed for making the return of attendance. The report also detailed the step by which the subject was first brought forward, and the preliminary committee appointed. Mr. John Harrison produced a minutely organised plan for canvassing the borough, dividing it on the basis of the The American papers tell us that the immortal Barnum has shown himself to be nothing but mortal after all. They tell us he is unable to meet the demands of his creditors He has published the secrets of humbug a little too SOOD d there !h could municipal wards. (It may be stated that some of the speakers mentioned that the committee did not propose to canvass the children of either Roman Catholic, or Unitarian, parents.) The Rev. Mr. Minton proposed the first resolution, which expressed approval of Ow report and the plan, and recommended the immediate commencement of a simul taneous canvass, by the joint co-operation of all protestant christians. The Rev. Mr. Dawson seconded the resolution. A conversation ensued upon the practical details, In which Mr. Maclie, Rev. Messrs. Wolseley, Cowan, F. Parry, Macnaught, Dr. Hume, Bardsley ; Messrs. Hall, Frazer, Ratcliffe, &c., took part. Finally, the Rev. Mr. Bardsley moved, and Rev. Mr. Macnaught seconded an amendment, to the effect, that the simultaneous canvass be made by means of the already existing agencies of each school. The original motion was carried by a large majority. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. Graham, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Griffiths, an executive committee of twelve was formed to carry out the resolution; and it was re commended that additional schools be formed where BELoiteq.—The Chamber of Representatives of Belgium has finally voted, by a large majority, the law authorising the extradition of political offenders.

THE QUEEN'S BOUNTY.—On Monday her Majesty's Bounty Money was distributed by her Majesty's sub almoner, Dr. Jelf, and Mr. Hanby, at the Royal Almonry office, Whitehall-yard.

SUICIDE OF A COMEDIAN. —On Monday morning the coroner for Surrey, received information of the death of Mr. J. Griffiths, a comedian, aged 40 years, who resided in Valentine-place, Lambeth. It appeared that the wife of the deceased went out on an errand, and left him in bed. On her return she found he had deliberately drawn a razor across his throat, indicting a frightful gash, by which the windpipe and carotid artery were divided, and the head nearly severed from the body. Nothing at present has led to the discovery of the cause. needful.

Conrous CASE. —A semi-clerical looking young man of tall stature, dressed in shabby-genteel black, and whose name'; vas given on the charge sheet as James Goodlad, was charged by a female, named Bridget Ryder, with having picked her pocket of a shilling. The story told by the female was this :—She had known the prisoner fur some time, and they had been on friendly terms. On Monday they went into a public-house in Sheffield-street, and although they were not natives of the Sister Island, they agreed to have a " Patrick's pot" together. They had some drink, and after that the allegation was that the prisoner took the shilling and decamped with it, treating another "young lady "to half a gallon of ale. The pri soner, whose address was of a superior description, denied the charge, and said he could bring witnesses to prove that the complainant asked him for a " Patrick's pot," but as he refused to comply with her request, she threatened to charge him with the offence, and she did so when he entered the street. He asked to be remanded for the production of the witnesses. He was remanded accordingly.

From the evidence of a policeman and a pretty little girl, the daughter of the prisoner, it appeared that he and her mother had a quarrel the previous night, when he struck her violent blows on the head with a chimney ornament, and cut her severely.

As science pro gresses even this proportion will be lessened. We may hope that, when we have a hundred steamers afloat, we shall neither hear of lost vessels, nor feel excited or anxious, with good reason, when a steamer is unduly delayed.

All the five men en g a g ed in moving the plate bear excellent characters. The robbery was effected in the short space of five minutes, whilst the men were standing in the public house bar drinking a pot of beer, which Bailey, the guard, paid for. It is supposed that the thieves well knew that the royal plate was removed on such occasions, and that they may have been in the habit of following the waggon with a cart, looking out for any opportunity for plunder which might present itself on the road. TUE EUROPEAN COLONY AT PERA.—The following is an extract from the letter of a traveller in the East .—" I have just read an absurd letter about the Turks not allow ing Pera and Galata to be cleansed, or fit for Christians ; but it is the neglect of the inhabitants which renders these suburbs so dirty. Stamboul and Scutari have no resem blance to it. The Turks had no power of interference with Pera, which is inhabited entirely by foreign subjects, who reset all attempts at municipal improvement. Some years ago, a little before my arrival there, an attempt had beer made to have Perm lighted ; but as there was no power of compelling the inhabitants to subscribe, it turned out a failure. It is unjust that so many people . should live on the spot, enjoy all the advantages of its position, be amenable to no law, and contributed o . no expenses of the district in which they reside. e pitulations. or excep- At Athens the Lionel jurisdictions ought to be abolished,. and not even the principal n ews is the appointment of Rau shadow of an excuse now remains for their . continuance. Rau gave, or Ri go , as his name really is, one of the most devoted of the friends of Russia, as Minister for Foreign Affairs. There has been so:ne brigandage since the battle of Mara thon, lately f ou ght between the Greektroops and the brigands.. The hospitals are filed with many mutilated shepherds, several of whom areiniserable spectacles having had their ears or noses cut off by the brigands." A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles says, that the King of Naples has authorised the export of wheat, on payment of a moderate duty. Another from Copenhagen says, that the United States have proposed to prolong the treaty relative to the Sound Dues for two months, and that the Danish Government has consented.
