titnr43ool Ritatibarll. NIN SEPT. 22, 1846 Albion of Monday week contains an article, lv to some remarks from us upon the recently ment by the Birkenhead Dock Corn - - ntages of the Liverpool to which, or at least arts of it as are intelligible, we feel called ,he comparative adw 3nhead Dock Estate In doing this, we paragraphs, which ver had in view, facts and figures, which )n.

Here a million of money authorized to be raised for the formation of - Wallasey Docks; and the Interest of that sum has to be paid. The tolls to be levied are surely not to reproduce the million. "Not a penny," we are told, " goes into the pocket of the land owner." What of that ? There is the cost of Istakin a great portion of the land, and deepening the pool, to pay for ; and that is much the same he other side of the question is thus stated : a the same year the Liverpool Dock Trustees pro: an act, authorising them to raise, on the security of 10, for the construction of north and south ends of the town. On refer o their published accounts, they have already paid, J the 24th June, 1845, for land alone, under this act and 8 Vic.. d by the Corporation accounts, we find chat, on the 31st of August, 1845, the amount due from the Trustees of the Docks, for land purchased under this act, was ates and works, £1,500, taking a total unproductive expenditure £784,875 5 8 Now it requires no reasoning to prove, that, if the Dock ustees had got all this land for nothing, they could have orded to lower their rates one half ; that, for instance, rates upon shipping alone would have been sufficient pay the interest upon the really productive expenditure." It is always very desirable, when men meddle h such matters as the above, that they should )1v some little of accounts. By not being so vrmed, our contemporary has debited the new ks of the Liverpool Dock Trustees with pre •lE 271,875 ss. Sd. too much. The Albion ands that the Dock Trustees have paid " for land alone," under their Act, £ 512,945. The item is quite correct. This sum is the total value of the land purchased by the Trustees, and for which, like good book-keepers, they debit the Estate. The 271,930 ss. Bd. is part of that sum, the amount of `le purchases from the Borough Estate, for which r.ey have given Dock Bonds at 31 per cent., which )ck Bonds, accordingly, form portions of the nded Debt, and are, of course, transferred to that Itnt. When a merchant has bought a thousand 's worth of goods, and given his acceptance .at to turn round upon _ those goods cost you £2OOO, because ..t that, although you have entered them as your .1, in stock account, I find you still owe A. B. a usand pounds," would he quite as absurd as our temporary makes himself. TO shall not dwell upon this strange error, how but proceed to grapple with our contemporary's 'al conclusion, which is, that because the Bir- them, for an account and say, . - :enhead people have paid nothing for their land, whilst the Dock Trustees of Liverpool have, the 'ormer can do without dues upon any thing but ,onnage, whilst the latter will be compelled to charge rates on goods. Be it so : let us then apply the :slam laid down. The duties on tonnage levied in 1946, in the whole of the docks of Liverpool, ex :luding the graving docks, amounted to £114,709 ss. Bd. The expense of working, police, &c., would make up probably £30,000 tote deducted from s amount. We allow nothing either for repairs. Le total income therefore derivable from rates on inage in the whole of the docks of Liverpool aid not pay interest upon two millions of money ; I those docks have cost more than four times Lt amount. The Birkenhead docks are to cost ly a million. Will they accommodate and work tf the shipping on an average accommodated on s side of the water ? Yet it is clear they ought do this or more, to pay five per cent. upon the vital expended. We really don't wish to frighten body ; but we must speak when such dangerous acies are so injudiciously thrust before the world. is inexpressibly absurd to find our contem ry harping so much upon the difference be n productive and unproductive expenditure. s he mean to say teat the situation of a dock )thing; that Prince's Dock would fill as well if sere five miles north or south of its present tion ? Men will give more rent for a house in riving town than for one in a swamp, or for a c in the centre of business than for one in the int outskirts. How can we be told, then, that additional price paid for the land required for one is "unproductive" expenditure, whilst the e of the bricks or stone and mortar used upon other is " re-productive expenditure." The ion rather misleads his readers, when he informs n that the debt and liabilities of the Liverpool Estate are now about three and a half millions. present debt and liabilities are precisely r printed statement, up to loubtedly the trustees will to complete their works ; 40,Z4Z !4th of J to raise then they will have docks to exhibit to to the efficiency and convenience of the port, to their own revenue. With respect to the A,OOO, which he attempts to frighten us by sting to be " due on demand," he is equally out latitude• That amount, which had increased Oth of June, 184 - ' 2 to £746,494 2s.

Landlords; in short everybody having any means whatsoever." Will Daniel O'Connell, then, we ask, perform his part in the work in which "every body having any means whatsoever," is to bear his portion ? He holds in his own possession, or at least he has re ceived within the last few years and not accounted for, some hundred thousand pounds, or upwards, contributed by the miserable peasantry of Ireland, to be devoted to an object which he must know to he impossible of accomplishment, and which he has apparently shelved to dip his fingers in official pay and patronage. We remind him that now, by his own admission, it is "food the people want," — not a delusive dream of a Parliament in College green. Let him throw open the Repeal chest. Let him give back to a miserable people the thousands of the Repeal fund. Will he do this ? Will his regiment of reverend agitators urge him to a step like this—of common honesty towards his, and their, poor fellow-countrymen ? Alas, we fear that their patriotism is of a different description. They will urge upon the landlords of Ireland, and the people of England, " the duty" of providing for the wants of Ireland; but the Repeal funds will not be given up—the weekly rent will be looked for at Conciliation Hall—the hat will still be sent round, and the " Liberator" will still demand to be fed by a people, themselves subsisting upon elymosynary contributions from a country which they are trained up to hate, and for whose humiliation and destruc tion they are taught to pray. The voracity of our contemporary of Friday for misrepresentations of Mr. M`Neile is truly aston ishing,. On Sunday week the Rev. Gentleman's text in the forenoon was from the prophet Habak kuk, chap. iii verses 16, 18, " When I heard, my belly trembled ; my lips quivered at the voice: rot tenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble," &c. He described the effect produced on the Prophet by the majesty of Jehovah in connexion with his predicted judgments against a guilty nation. Af terwards when he referred to the painfully distress ing accounts of the destitution of so many of our poor Irish brethren, and described the effects which such a calamity ought to produce upon truly sympathetic Christians, he introduced a repetition of the words of his text with a thrilling energy. The result was practical ; producing, as we men tioned in our last, a liberal contribution. On Fri day we, in common with many others, were dis gusted by the following paragraph in the Mercury : The Rev. Hugh M'Neile, if we are to believe the state ment of that gentleman himself, has become infected with the potato disease. He said, on Sunday last, to the astonishment of some of his hearers, that, after reading letters received from Ireland, "rottenness entered my bones." This in itself is simply ridiculous, and, as far as the reverend gentleman is concerned, it is utterly contemptible ; but we think it deserving of notice, as a fresh specimen of that aptness in malice, that inventive ingenuity in detraction, by which the Mercury has exerted itself for many years, to the best of its ability, to injure an able and zealous clergyman. Truly, the determined perseverance of that journal to damage Mr. M`Neile's reputation can only be equalled by its total want of success. It has, indeed, contributed considerably to a con trary result, because, lynx-eyed as it has been in its espionage over the reverend gentleman's proce dure, and ready as it has ever proved itself to make him an offender, if possible, for a word, it has never been able to establish any thing against him. And we must repeat what we had occasion to say but a few weeks ago,—that its wil ful repetition of known falsehoods is as disgraceful to the paper, as it is honourable to the distinguished object of its calumny. Against its opposition to Mr. M`Neile's opinions, whether religious or politi cal, we say nothing. It is all fair; and no one courts fair discussion more than Mr. M`Neile himself; but against misrepresentations of matters of fact, amount ing to known falsehoods, we must reiterate our pro test as against a base abuse of the liberty of the press. Although we have already gone far towards get ting rid of our pious horror of slavery and the slave trade, and are stimulating, as much as in us lies, the consumption of foreign slave-grown produce in our own country, it is gratifying to have it shown to us that there is still a prospect of procuring from our own possessions, in sufficient abundance for our wants, a supply of that article—sugar--the culture and manufacture of which are the most oppressive to the tropical labourer, without the necessity of having recourse to slave markets. This assurance we have brought before us in a letter addressed to "the cotton manufacturers of Manchester and the adjacent localities interested in the India trade, by D. C. Aylwin, of the firm of Messrs. Aylwin and Co., of Calcutta," the substance of which we shall endeavour to condense for our readers. It will be remembered by most how largely public expectation of a supply of sugar from our East Indian possessions was raised a few years ago, to result from the equalization of the duties upon the East and West Indian article. In 1337-38 the export from Calcutta in bazar maunds (82 lbs.) was 314,771 maunds ; in 1838-39 it was 869,107 maunds ; and in 1839-40, 843,889 maunds. Up to this period the cane was cultivated by the ryots, or villagers, mainly for their own consumption, and was not looked upon as an article of profitable export. But when the sugars of East India were placed on the same footing in our markets with those of our Western colonies, the rise of price to the Eastern cultivator—who, Mr. Aylwin says, " was enabled to net a profit of say from 100 to 150 per cent."—brought large supplies into the market from districts where previously the existence of the cultivation had been unnoticed ; and in the year 1840-41 the export from Calcutta sprung up to 1,784,791 maunds. The anticipation of an increase in this amount in succeeding years—natural, when we consider the low rate of wages in the country, and the fact that the cane is grown in nearly every district at a com paratively trifling expense to the cultivator—has not been realized. On the contrary, the export fell in the following year, 1841-42, to 1,522,092 maunds, where it has remained stationary, having been in 1844-45 only 1,539,117. The question with most commercial men, and with statesmen, has been—how is this apparent anomaly to be accounted for ? Here is an article the production of which is one of acknowledged profit, and for which the East Indian farmer and peasant possess great advantages. Great Britain offers them a highly remunerating market. The continent of Europe is open to them. Yet industry flags; and the export of an article, of which the capa bility of production, at present estimated at 1,250,000 tons per annum, the bulk of which is retained for home consumption, is almost limitless, retrogrades instead of increasing. Mr. Aylwin accounts for this fact by the general poverty of the East Indian cultivator, and the heavy drain upon his resources, created by the East India Company's tax on salt, which, with sugar, is the most necessary article of domestic use. To " pro cure a supply of this indispensible condiment, the Ryot," he says, " has to surrender as much as three months of his annual labour." That the reader may be in a position to judge for himself of the pres sure of the tax in question, we subjoin Mr. Aylwin's explanatory note : "The value of salt, "free on board ship" at Liver pool is 15s. a ton. The tax on Salt in India is £8 3s. 6d. per ton. The retail price in the interior is about 2&d. per pound. The consumption estimated. even " by the Litton Government," at 12 pounds per head, or aay half that of England : the average number comprising one family, 5 persons ; and the rate of wages in many parts in the interior, only £1 16s. a year !!! on which the wretched Ryot has to feed and clothe himself, and also buy salt." When so large a portion of labour is thus required for the payment of the tax on salt alone, there is little surplus time or means left, after earning or raising the remaining necessaries of life, to extend the cultivation of sugar. Mr. Aylwin argues, and we think most satisfac torily, that the removal, or the reduction, of the salt duty, say from three rupees to one rupee per maund, or from £8 3s. 6d. per ton to f 2 15s. 6d, the Indian agriculturist would be enabled to bestow more at tention upon the cultivation of sugar, as a means of adding to his personal comforts, and procuring a more abundant supply of clothing, by which the demand for British manufactured fabrics would be largely promoted. " If, be says, we compute the total production of sugar in India at 1,250,000 tons a year, out of which 75,000 are abstracted for exportation, we should, estimating the in creased production arising from increased facilities of labour at only one-twelfth (or one month's average labour) have at once a further supply for the purpose of exporta- THE LIVERPO( tion of no less than . 101,166 tons, making in all 179,166 tons, or nearly two-thirds more than the present supply of our Eastern possessions : and when we consider the facilities of water communication that exist all over India; the millions of acres of the richest virgin soil that are lying valueless and waste ; the cheapness and abundance of labour ; and the extremely low price at which sugar is manufactured ; it is beyond a doubt, could the producers be (as they would by the reduction of the Salt Tax) in a position to increase their cultivation, that England might draw the greater part of her supplies from that country where, if out of the 140 millions of inhabitants, but one third became consumers of only clothing enough to cover ther loins ; we should, estimating an annual average of three feet for each individual, have an additional market opened for thy cotton and yarn manufactures of this country of no less than 46 millions yards of cotton cloth." That the native Indian is not indisposed to in crease his purchases of the commodities of civil ized life, in return for any amelioration which we can effect in his condition, and in proportion to the extent of that amelioration, we have the best of all evidence—past experience. We have shown above that since the equalisation of the duties upon East and West Indian sugar, the exports, furnished by the supply drawn from the native producers, have doubled themselves. What has been the effect of this increase upon native consumption of our goods ? Oi the fabrics in use amongst the wealthy classes in India—muslins, cambrics, lappets, &c., we find that in 1837-38 we imported into Calcutta 1,027,862 pieces, and in the following year 1,428,237 pieces. During the years up to 1844, after the increase had taken place in the exports of sugar to Europe, the consumption of these articles averaged about 1,300,000 pieces per annum. The imports of fa brics in use amongst the poorer classes shows on the other hand a vast and most encouraging en crease. Of long cloth shirtings, jaconets and mada • pollams, we imported into Calcutta in 1837-38, 19,0770 pieces ; in 1338- 9, 427,452 pieces ; and in 1839-40, 646,751 pieces. In 1840-41, when the exports of East India sugar doubled themselves, the imports of the above articles rose to 1,009,885 pieces I and in 1843-44 they had reached the large amount of 2,479,542 pieces. There, then, it is clear, is an arena in which the principle of free trade may be introduced, not only with immense advantage to the British manufac turer, shipowner and merchant, but with infinite benefit to the millions of our fellow subjects in India. The substitution of a low for the present high duty upon salt would remove a mill stone from the necks of the latter, and bring them daily more and more within the pale of civilization, by the adoption of European habits and the acquisition of European wants and tastes. At the same time the markets of India would be thrown open more widely to the British manufacturer. That, in the end, the East India company, for whose benefit the impost upon salt is levied, would suffer materially we do not believe. Should any great loss of reve nue arise, however, there are many remedies for such an emergency within the reach of statesman ship. Certainly no slight obstacle ought to be per mitted to stand in the way of the adoption of a mea sure of justice towards India, the benefits to accrue from which to the people of that country and to British industry are so out of all proportion with the sacrifice demanded. ith th stion : ' Why not at once take the dock-rates off goods alto ter into a reciprocity treaty with the Birkenhead d let the pckment of one rate upon the ship n both sides the river?

The conductors have opened and offer to open the establishment and its records to the friends of any private patients, who may feel misgivings as to its state ; to committees or deputations from Boards of Guardians, to medical men or poor-law officers, to jus tices of the peace, or to clergymen.

On the 7th instant, the Master Coopers belonging to the Liverpool Association, presented to their estimable chairman, Mr. Thomas Wignall, a massive silver snuff box, manufactured by Mr. Dismore, of Bold-street, as a te-timonial of their esteem, and gratitude for his services. Mr. Wignall has been chairman of the body for a length of time ; and on many occasions—during the late strike among the journeymen coopers especially—bas been of the most essential service to the trade. The snuff box, which was enclosed in a beautiful morocco case, bore the following inscription :—" Presented to Mr. Thomas Wig nall by the Master Coopers of Liverpool, for the un wearied exertions and good judgment displayed by him as Chairman of their Associatiou." The following well-merited address was presented along with the snuff boa : " TO MR. THOMAS WIGNALL, LIVERPOOL. " We, the master coopers who comprise the association, desire to express to you the high sense we entertain of the value and importance of the exertions evinced by you in presiding over the interests of the body. " Although the consciousness of having laboured to promote the welfare of the association is in itself a great reward, it cannot fail to afford you additional pleasure to learn that the patience, ability, and temper by which your conduct has: been distinguished, have been duly appre ciated. " Entertaining for your character the most sincere respect, we beg you to accept the expression of our high esteem in this testimonial, and our best wishes for your continued health and happiness.

The amount collected at St. Matthew's Church on Sunday week and on Tuesday, after sermons by the Rev. A. Hewlett and the Rev. Mr. Birkett, in aid of the ne cessary expenses of the church, was £l4 16s. CHARGE AGAINST A HUSBAND OR SHOOTING AT HIS WINE.—An elderly man, named Frederick Young, was on Friday, brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of firing a loaded pistol at his wife. The case derived some additional interest amongst the peoplt in Vauxhall road, where he lived, by a rumour getting abroad that he was a bigamist, and that both wives were in the town. On the day stated, about one o'clock, a dense crowd was seen in Vauxhall-road, and the prisoner was observed to rush out from amongst them, and pursue his wife along the street. When he came up to her, he seized her by the throat, twisted her round, and finally drew a pistol from his pocket and fired at her, but fortunately (if it were loaded—for no ball could be found) — without injurious effect. He was remanded until Satur day, and again (without material evidence) until yesterday, when some further evidence was adduced on the part of the complainant. A tea-tray was produced, which, it was said, she had with her on the tnp of the basket at the time, and on which appeared some abrasures. and finally a hole, said to have been made by the ball. This, however, was not quite satisfactory evidence, and it appeared to some parties in Court who saw the tray, that the abrasures and hole, at " jumping" distances, might have been produced by a chisel, and not a ball. The prisoner was again re manded until this day. A RAILWAY HUNT AFTER A SUNDAY'S DINNER. A gentleman of Liverpool, who is residing temporarily in the vicinity of Bromborough, sent a parcel on Saturday evening to the Birkenhead and Chester Railway Office in James-street, containing a joint for Sunday's dinner, 1 clean linen, shaving tackle, and other necessaries, with di rections to be kept until he booked for Bromborough himself. The parcel was directed to that place. On ar riving at the office, he was told, to his dismay, that the parcel was sent forward by the previous train, and would, no doubt, be found either at Birkenhead or Brom borough. When he reached Birkenhead, he made inquiries after his lost treasures in vain. They must be at Bromborough, he was told ; but in case of so unfortunate a mishap as their having gone on to Chester, the clerk said he would write to the station, and bis parcel should be duly returned next morning. He met, accordingly, the half-past eight train, but no mutton, clean shirt, or razor, there awaited him. He stayed till ten ; but that train he was told would not stop unless he booked to go by it to Liverpool. He paid his ninepence accordingly. Still no parcel. His next despairing resolve was to go by the train he had paid for to Birkenhead, and went accordingly, but was equally unlucky. Try the Liverpool station, urged the clerk. Our dinner hunter found, however, that there would then be no time to return till two in the af ternoon. Go on to Chester, suggested the clerk. Our hero, however, preferred returning to Brombro' again, where a man having been despatched forth to Chester, his lost dinner, &c., reached him at two o'clock. A less persevering individual would perhaps have been less suc cessful in stirring up the drowsy energies of the variou s railway officials concerned, I, STANDARD. THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, a public breakfast was partaken of, in the Music-hall, by members and friends of the Evangelical Alliance, the purpose of the meeting being to receive and bid farewell to the brethren from America and other countries who had attended the formation of the Alliance, prior to their departure from England. It was announced in the bills that a valedictory address would be given by the Rev. Dr. Byrth, and a valedictory prayer by the Rev. James Lister ; also that the Rev. Dr. S. E. Cox, of New York, would reply in taking leave of the British friends of the Alliance ; and that other ministers and gentlemen would take a part in the proceedings. The interest excited was, consequently, very considerable, and the body of the room was com fortably filled, also most of the platform, and a consider able part of the small gallery. Amongst those present, comprising members of every Christian denomination, were a large number of ladies. The breakfast was provided by Mr. C. Chalk, of the London Coffee House, and was substantial but plain. There were six tables running longitudinally with the room, and a cross table at the top, under the platform. Tea and coffee were served from urns, and the long tables were amply provided with sandwich's, buns, bread and butter, &c. At the cross table a few delicacies were in troduced, including chickens, ham, tongue, &c. We observed at the head of the room, the Rev. Dr. Cox, of New York ; the Rev. Mr. Church, of America ; the Rev. Dr. Patters, also a foreigner ' • the Rev. Dr. Byrth; the Rev. Mr. Cordeaux ; the Rev. Mr. Kelly ; the Rev. C. Birrel ; the Rev. S. 0-borne ; Rev. John Todd Brown; Dr. Massey, of Manchester ; the Rev. W. Marshall, In dependent minister of Wigan ; Dr. Blackburn ; John Cropper; John Howard, Esqrs., and many others of the clergy and laity, whose names we did not ascertain. In all, there were present about 400 persons. After the breakfast the gentlemen who were to take part in the proceedings went upon the platform, and, as an nounced, A. C. Dunlop, Esq., took the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in a short introductory address, an nounced in terms of extreme regret that they were that day deprived of the presence of an esteemed brother, who had rendered great services in the formation of their Al- liance—he being confined by severe illness. He besought those present not to forget him in their prayers. He al luded to the Rev. W. Bevan. A. hymn was then sung, " Come, let us join our cheer ful songs ;" after which the Rev. Mr.Cordeaux pronounced a brief prayer, which he followed up by reading most im pressively the 17th chapter of St. John. The same rev. gentleman then offered a powerful prayer, em bracing general subjects, and in behalf of the several religious institutions of the country. He prayed in a feeling manner for the conversion of the Jewish people, and implored a blessing on every society whose object was to propagate the truths of the Gospel —on all Christian missionaries—and especially on the Evangelical Alliance, to render its members kind and loving towards each other. If this movement emanated from the Lord, which they believed it did, he prayed that His influence might fall upon those Christians who had not yet joined them, and bring them amongst them. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to briefly address the meeting. He said they had met there that morning to greet their dear foreign brethren who had come to this country to take part in the formation of the Evangelical Alliance—an Alliance which he believed was calculated to produce effects which few had contemplated. A few years ago if any one had ventured to predict what had now taken place, he would have been thought a wild enthusiast little better than mad (hear, hear). What was then the state of affairs? The dissenters were endeavouring to pull down the Establishment as if no Christian could belong thereto, whilst the members of the Established Church on the other hand were branding Dissenters as if to dissent from the Established Church was virtually to deny Christi anity altogether. (Hear, hear.) Now all who loved the Lord Jesus Christ were joined together in one holy union. He need not allude to what had taken place last year, as he trusted its hallowed influence was still felt on their minds, and what he had lately witnessed in London would not he easily erased from his mind. Then about nine hundred ministers of different denominations had united in prayer and praise, and in consultation together how they might best manifest to the world that union in the Lord which must exist in all the members of his mystical body. (Loud cheers.) It was to greet those foreign brethren who had come from the Continent and America—all of whom were now about to return to their own land. (Hear.) Had the breakfast taken place on Friday, there would have been more present. In this they were forestalled by their Manchester friends, and several who would have been there left on Saturday by the Hibernia for America, and the remainder were about to take their departure to-morrow by the Great Britain. He felt sure, however, they would go forth with many a heartfelt prayer from the brethren in this land. (Hear, hear.) After a few other remarks the chairman concluded by calling on the Rev. Dr. Byrth, Rector of Wallasey, to deliver a va ledictory address to the foreign brethren. The Rev. Dr. BYRTH, on rising, was greeted with loud applause. He commenced by saying —Mr. Chairman and Christian Friends, Many a large meeting have I attended in this room, connected with some of the most important objects that can engage the attention of Christians, and yet I hesitate not to say, that I was never was here upon any occasion so deeply affecting to myself as the present. (Hear, hear.) The circumstances connected with this oc casion are of no ordinary character. That we have here some of the most distinguished members of foreign churches, and that we are about to bid them farewell and God speed in the name of the Lord, is a matter of no com mon interest. (Hear, hear.) Christians from America and other parts of the world have visited our shores upon former occasions on errands of Christian philanthropy; but I believe I speak the truth:when I say, that upon no occasion before the present was there an assembly convened from all portions of the Christian church in order to greet them, or address unto them a valedictory ad dress. (Loud cheers.) And assuredly, if there was no purpose but that, which is the object of this meeting, there is much which is calculated to produce a strong im pression upon every Christian heart; especially would it be so, if, Mr. Chairman, like yourself and many by whom you are surrounded, all had had the opportunities we have lately possessed, of witnessing the holy zeal, listening to the fervid eloquence, and partaking of the devout affec tions of those individuals. (Loud cheers.) Never will there be obliterated, the impressions made upon our minds —(I venture to speak for you, Mr. Chairman, as well as myself)—by our intercourse with our American friends. (Continued applause.) To the last day of our lives, whe ther we see them again in this world or not, we shall cherish them amongst our best and holiest associations, and look forward to that meeting where there shall be no more separation—to that alliance which shall be perfected in the presence of our common Lord and Master. (Im mense cheering for some time.) And yet before I pro ceed to the direct object which devolves upon me in ad dressing them, I feel that I may be permitted—nay, ham expected—to say something, at least, respecting the occa sion which has brought us together to-day. (Cheers.) As a member of the Church of England, yielding to none in my attachment to that Church, whatever may be thought of my association with my Dissenting brethren by those who understand not the real nature of Christian charity,—(Cheers).--I anticipate no danger to my communion by having the cords of Christian union drawn towards the members of other Christian commu nities more closely, and I will bear my testimony in the high places of the earth, that I have not met with any in this Holy Alliance (as I shall call it),—that i have not met with any member who has a hateful disposition towards the church to which I belong. (Hear, hear.) And I will add, I know that my attachment to that church has not been diminished. (Cheers.) Indeed, I am fully convinced that in my own congregation there has been a more manifest improvement, and my efforts in that church have been more useful and blessed since I gave in my adhesion to that blessed cause-. (Applause.) It - can be no called objection to our measures that on the one hand we are calumniated, and on the other hand left alone. We will meet the former,lthose who calumniate us, with the Christian weaponsof charity and forbearance. (Cheers.) If it be that some with a malevolence beyond knowledge, should endeavour to sow dissension in our holy assem blies, we will not return reproach for evil ; praying even for our enemies. (Cheers.) And at. to those who are in different, and would bring no charge against us, we ven ture to believe that the time is not remote when they will be surprised at their own apathy, and come in numbers to swell the ranks of this blessed cause. (Cheers.) Mr. chairman, I have no fears for the Evangelical Alliance. No cause ever appeared more promising than this ; and our American brethren will cross the Atlantic and tell far and wide that they have met with a response to every invita tion, and that there is a bond cemented between the two countries more powerful than any political compact— lasting beyond the existence of both countries ; and con tributing, perhaps, at some future day, to allay angry dis cussion, and even to snatch the weapons raised against his Christain brethren out of the hands of man, and place them at the foot of the cross. (Hear, bear.) this appears to me to be no over sanguine view of the objects of the Alliance, judging from the records of what has recently passed. (Applause.) I shall, however, take the liberty of referring to what has been said respect ing our recent meetings. It has been said there was much disputing. No doubt there was much discussion, because we were a deliberative assembly, and in what deliberative assembly is there not ? We met morning after morning, and evening after evening, to the number of about one thousand. There were persons present from all parts of the earth, and of every Christian denomination, and could there be anything but discussion in the formation of our plans ? (Hear, hear.) Blessed be God, there was discus sion, but such as the world never saw before—eager, earnest, and sometimes warm discussion, but at every meeting I attended I never witnessed any temper, or one word, which was unbecoming a Christian speaker. (Cheers.) And I ask, is not such an effect as this an evi dence that there was presiding over us a spirit better and more holy than our own—even the Spirit of the living God. (Hear, hear.) Nay. more than all this. The Evangelical Alliance exhibited in the midst of its most agitated occasions Christian union preserved entire. (Cheers.) We were unanimous upon every thing in which unanimity was desirable. We met together as a synod, or what they pleased to call it ; but without pretending to Tridentine infallibilty, they had more than Tridentine unanimity. (Continued cheers.) The world has never before seen this, and I am endeavouring to set the world right with regard to our Association. As I believe that a holy peace will be the conclusion of this assembly, so I believe it was the besetting influence in all our assemblies. Vse never parted without being prepared to give to each other the right hand of fellowship ; and no individual has gone away from those meetings without feeling he was a better man, better prepared to love his fellow-Christians—more convinced of the evil of his own heart, and more fully con vinced that they might all retain their respective differ. ences, and yet continue together in the prosecution of one common object. (Loud cheers.) In order to proceed to the more direct object—our address to our American brethren—l ask, should we allow them to depart without Sept. 22, 1846. telling them that all this peace, all these blessings, under God, are in no small degree owing to them. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) How often have I felt, when ,ittitig even in some of the smallest committees, though not unobservant of the divisions of the christian world, that I have never loved our christian dissenting brethren as well as I ought to have done. I never have felt any re luctance to give them the right hand of fellowship, but now I feel that I can hold out to them both hands. (Loud cheers.) But much that is deeply interesting to the christian heart—much that affords a peculiar character of our meetings, came from our American friends. They came over to this country—a country from which their forefathers had gone as pilgrims to a foreign land—in order to show that they retained the same spirit which animated their fathers—that they were not enemies, but still our friends. But for that circumstance, much of the effect of these meetings on the world would be mistaken. It can now be shown that it is possible for christians from all parts, and differing widely from each other on some points, to find some common ground on which they can meet to prosecute some common objects, and though they dill: r, yet can all meet together at the throne of grace, to address one common Father, being baptized by one common spirit. (Loud cries of hear, hear.) My reverend fathers and brethren, to come now to the conclusion of this-1 speak unto you to whom I am commissioned to deliver this valedictory address. But for one consideration, no office could have been more welcome to me. What were the satin in which I should have clothed this address, my reverend brethren, will be made up by the tone of this meeting, who from these tables will echo back every word of kindness ; so that the words of the speaker will be considered only as the key-note to the sentiments ex pressed. (cheers.) A valedictory address ! We will take the old Saxon word. We come here to bid you a heartfelt fare well ! We come to speak of our past scenes of enjoyment. When friends separate, the first feeling upon the mind is, that there is to be a suspension of all the happy intercourse which they have enjoyed, and we cannot help thinking we have enjoyed Christian communion, which for a time must be separated—perhaps on this earth we may never meet again ; but I am sure I speak the sentiments of every individual at these tables, when I say we offer to you, my reverend brethren, our deep tribute of gratitude ;—we thank you for all your labours in this blessed cause—we desire to thank you for the warmth with which you have supplicated the Throne of Grace for all these blessings upon us; we thank you for all these things, and in the name of the Lord we say unto you, because we have a right to that—" Brethren, pray for us." And we say to you, in the name of our common Father—May it be well with you in every relation of life—well with you in your own homes—well with you in your intercourse with our common Lord—well with you in your domestic relations—well with you as ministers of the Gospel—well with you in your congregations—may it fare well with you in the hour of death—may it be well with you in the day of judgment—may it be well with you throughout eternity! (Loud cheers.) %Thee friends separate, my rev. brethren, it is often with a feeling that they shall never meet again. The word farewell is often associated with much foreboding. It may be that in the flesh we shall never meet again, and yet I speak confidently when I say, hav ing been commissioned to give utterance to the invitation, Oh, come back to us again as soon as you can ! (Con tinued cheering for some time.) If I were to say it would be a bright day in our spiritual history could we agin see Dr. Cox (cheers), Mr. Church (cheers), and Dr. Patten (continued cheers); but I should fail in recollecting the names of all, but their persons and their conduct will never be effaced from my memory. (cheers.) We hope you may come back again. We hope we shall have an oppor tunity of seeing you again—forgive me if it he a self invitation. We hope we shall see-you, even beyond the Atlantic (loud applause) ; I say that, because I know your Christian love, and that we shall have a place in your affections, even as you have in ours, and therefore, if we come uninvited, we feel assured of a•welcome. (cheers.) But it is not with the Christian as it is with the men of the world in bidding each other farewell. We shall meet again ! We have met in connection. with a great future which is to come—we look forward to that meeting where there will be no valedictory address—where there will be no parting tears to mar the brightness of Christian love — where we shall always be looking back upon the past, and this day amongst the number, and thank God who has made this as it were an oasis in the desert. (Loud cheers.) He who makes all things work together for good to them that love him will continue all these things, in order to make us more blessed in His presence than we should have been without them. (Applause.) And you, my friends, who have come here, and who have endeavoured to bear the same testimony shall never have occasion to look back with regret upon what we have overcome ; we shall never regret having joined in this holy cause ; in hav ing joined against the great enemy of the Lord, to unfurl the banner of Christian union before the whole world. (Loud applause.) When we say farewell permit me to ask that we at least—indeed we know it will be so—should have an interest in your prayers. When you cross the mighty Atlantic, 0 brethren, pray for us—let us not be for gottenin your best scenes, let notthehallowed opportunities which we have enjoyed pass away from our memories, let us endeavour to draw closer together the bonds of Christian union, and let us tell unto the world that which some will consider a great wonder, that we have met with persons differing from us on matters of great importance, and yet agreeing in all that is essential ; that we have met, not to differ, but to agree. (Loud cheers.) My rev. brethren, may the Lord bless you and keep you I May he lift up the light of his countenance upon you, and bless you! The Lord shine upon you, and give you peace ! Farewell! (The rev. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud cheers.) Dr. Cox was then called upon, and addressed the meeting in an eloquent speech, which lasted nearly two hours, in the course of which he denounced the existence of the slave trade in America, as a subject, of grief and discomfort to all true Christians, but deprecated the con duct of those who advocated an appeal to arms to put it down.

Last night, the tragedy of " the Swiss Father," from the pen of Mr. Linnwns Banks, a gentleman, doubtless, well known to many of our fellow-townsmen as the author of several published poems of some merit, in addition to numerous contributions to our local press, was performed for the first time at the Theatre Royal, before a respectable and rather numerous audience. Unfortunately for the au thor, two of the actors upon whom he had relied to take the leading character were absent. One part—a lead ing part—had, therefore, to be read ; and every one in the slightest degree acquainted with theatricals, will easily judge how much the effect of the piece was marred by this unforeseen circumstance. In fact, the author's leading characters were completely burked; and it was only because, here and there, a few indications reached us that the writer of the play had some poetry in his composition, that the whole affair was not at once condemned to the Tomb of all the Capulets. Of the incidents or the plot of the drama, we need not attempt to say much. The mumbling of one gentleman who reads his part made a hiatus here and there, which quite prevented us getting a fair ❑otion of the story. The plot, however, appeared to us to hinge upon the at tempt of a villainous noble to get possession of the daughter of a miser, who is enamoured of an humble suitor, whom she marries. And here ends the first act. Twenty - years are then supposed to have elapsed. The daughter of the miser is represented as dead, leaving a daughter, whom the same villain who has sought to wreck her honour is enamoured of, and a son, who is sunk in the vice of gambling. The catastrophe was to introduce a murder and other matters; but it was judiciously cut short, and, in fact, the piece concluded without an Ending at all that was intelligible. We dare say Mr. Banks was glad to get his tragedy concluded. We are sure the audience heartily sympathized with him. We ought not to omit saying, that one character, Peter Peterkin, by Mr. Pearson, was excellently played, and is an excel-- lent character. At the conclusion of the piece, which the audience re ceived, notwithstanding the performers generally did not do it justice, with a very kindly and approving feeling. Mr. Banks delivered a farewell address to his f-llow townsmen, on his approaching departure to the United States, which was well received. The remaining part of the performances was of ordinary merit. Mr. Justice Williams, it is thought, died of gout in the stomach. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE OF HONEY.—Last week the gardener of J.

A verdict of manslaughter has been returned against a policeman at Northleach, for killing a young man, named Reuben Busby. Another man, named Clifford, had also been seriously beaten by the same policeman, and was for some days considered in great danger. The me lancholy event took place at a public-house, and the policeman, in striving to quell a slight disturbance, struck right and left with his truncheon. Jullien having engaged Covent-garden Theatre for pro menade concerts, which he intends to give during.the months of December and January, will prove some thing of a stumbling-block to the extensive alterations spoken of by the new Italian managers.

REVISING BARRISTER'S COURT.—The annual court for the revision of the borough list of notices was held on Tuesday last, at the Sessions-house, and adjourned till the following day. The total claims and objections were as follows :—Householders, Everton claims, 8, objections, 41 ; Kirkdale claim, 1, objections, 42 ; Liverpool parish claims, 39, objections, 384; West Derby claims, 58, ob jections, 68 ; Toxteth-park claims, 22, objections 82 ; Freemen claims, 1 6, objections , 541 . Total, 144 claims, 1158 objections. Mr. Bretherton, solicitor, as usual, ex tended his eloquence in support of the League party and their tools. Mr. Bremner conducted, with his usual ability, the case of the Conservatives, the attendance of which party was principally to support objections. The result was, in Everton ward, out of 42 Radical ob jections, 34 sustained, and 8 failures. In West Derby 69 Radical objections were valid, and only 9 claims out of 58 substantiated. In Toxteth-park only 7 out of 81 Radical objections were substantiated, and only one claim out of 22 claims, was successful. In the parish of Liverpool, 242 objections of the Radicals were held bad by the revising barrister, owing to want of proof of the proper service of the notice upon the overseer, which the Radical party say reached his bands at a quarter to twelve on the last night, while the Conservatives contend that it was not received until the following morning. The decision is subject to appeal. On Saturday, the claims and objections of the freemen were gone into, and of whom 152 were struck off, many of them being dead or householders.
