The committee also fixed upon the site, in Shaw's-brow, opposite the north front of St. George's-hall, and running back into Clayton-street. The committee recommend that the Council should advertise for designs ; and that a premium should be design which may be chosen. The belief of the mittee is, that the new erection will cost £30,000; bi is intended to restrict the outlay to the £16,003 already named, and to call upon the public to subscribe the remainder, rathe given t inn-rate on th than to 1 inhabitants generally.— Chro;zicie LIVERPOOL CHURCH OP ENGLIND INSTITUTION bazaar in aid of the library of this institution is to open on Monday next. We learn that the arrangements are in a for ward state, and that there is every probability of a success ful result.. Great exertions have been made by the friends of the institution, both here and elsewhere, to furnish the stalls and give eclat to the proceedings. The principal stall will be held by the Hon. Mrs. Edward Cropper. Twenty volumes of the poetical works of the late Mrs. Sandbach— the grand-daughter of Roscoe —have been received from H. R. Sandbach, Esq. A collection of original poems, all specially contributed for the purpose, by Lord John Manners, Charles Swain, Rev. W. Pollock, and other living writers, will also be published on the occasion. The effort which the members of this valuable institution are making to extend its usefulness, is one which well de serves, as we hope it will receive, the warm support of the public. _ _ _ Ties NEW SANITARY EILL.—At a meeting 'of the Health Committee on Thursday, Mr. Stewart explained what had been done with regard to the new sanitary bill, the clauses of which were prepared, and would be brought forward at the next Council. The sub-committee had made certain amendments, which would be submitted for the consideration of the Health Conimittee. The chief alteration was that of making owners of property in the borough liable to pay a certain proportion of the cost of severing, at so much per lineal yard, the sewerage in all cases to be done by the public authorities. No application would be made in the next session of parliament except for an alteration of the present bill. The committee found the sub ject beset with so many difficulties, that they considered it better to confine themselves to what appeared the most pressin g matter, that of severing, and they had reason to believe the course they had adopted would be satisfactory. He moved the adoption of the bill in its amended form. The motion was adopted unanimously. HEALTH OF LIVERPOOL.—The general mortality in this borough continues to be' considerably below the average. This is very satisfactory, although we have again to report some fatal cases of cholera. On Tuesday an Irishman, living at No. 5 court, Lace-street, was hurried off in a few hours by this. fatal disease. On Wednesday the govern ment emigration agent ascertained that some emigrants on board the ship Silas Greenman, lying in the river, and bound for New York, had been attacked with severe diarrhoea.. It is supposed that the passengers, having suffered from sea sickness during the gale of Sunday, were subsequently seized with bowel complaint, which in three cases turned to cholera, and ,proved fatal to the cook of the ship and two of the .German emigrants. As the vessel was about to sail, and had about 500 passengers on board, these circumstances were reported to a sub-committee of the health committee, then sitting, and a consultation took place on the sublect. It was ultimately arranged, .after a communication with the emigration agent and the custom-house authorities, that the sick persons should be separated from the healthy. Those in good health were to be placed on board one of the lazarettoes in the river, and the sick removed to a suitable place and put under immediate medical treatment. ELECTRIC TIME SIGNAL BALL.—The system of drop ping the time signal ball on the buildings of the Electric Telegraph Company, 44-3, Strand, London, by a galvanic currant from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, having, after the experience of several months, been found per fectly efficient (interrupted only by occasional repairs of the apparatus), chronometer makers and others are in formed that; when no extraordinary signal is exhibited, implicit reliance may be placed on the accuracy of the time given by the-drop of the ball. The same galvanic current which liberates the ball in the Strand moves a needle upon the transit clock at the Royal Observatory. The time of movement of this needle is observed by the officers of the Royal Observatory, and duly registered, and is found to be sensibly correct. The time occupied by the transmission of the galvanic current from the Royal Observatory to the. Strand is about 1-3000th part of a second. The time oc cupied by the unloosing of the machinery which supports the ball is less than one-fifth part of a second. Chrono meter makers are requested to remark that the instant which is to be taken as truly corresponding to one o'clock, Greenwich mean solar time, is that of the commencement of the drop of the ball. In the event of accidental failure or error in the dropping of the ball at one o'clock, it will be raised half-mast high till two o'clock, when it will be dropped with the same accuracy.—Royal Observatory, Greenwich:— a B. AIRY. ST. HELEN'S PETTY SESSIONS were held on Tuesday last, at the Town-hall, before the Rear. J. S. R. Evans (chairman), Z. Sillar, M.D., and R. Pilkington, Esq.— Peter Marsh was fined 10s. and costs for assaulting James Callon, on the 19th ult.—Mr. Edward Unsworth, of Widnes, was summoned under the Cruelty to Animals Act, for shooting a cat, on the 19th ult., belonging to with three persons was shooting at Widnes, and that: when in a field near to complainant's house, he shot a cat belonging to him. In answer to the charge, the defen dant admitted the shooting of the cat, but stated that his dog set at something which appeared to him to be a rabbit or a hare, and that he of course fired; that imme diately he. had done so the animal ran up a tree ; and he then, suspecting it to be a cat, fired a second time to put it out of its misery. He raised an objection to the sum mons, on the ground that this case did not come within the meaning of the . act, the words of the act being " cruelly torturing," &c., and it did not appear that a wanton act of cruelty had been committed, as the defen dant had, in the first instance, shot at what he believed to be game. . The magistrates, concurring in this view, dis missed thecase. A second information was laid against Mr. Unsworth for shooting on the highway. It appeared that on the night of the same day on which the former offence was- alleged to have been committed, Mr. Uns worth and his men were returning home about eleven o'clock, and that, when opposite the house of the last complainant, a gun was fired close to the window. The inmates were alarmed, and opened .the window. One of them stated that he saw Mr. Unsworth with a gun in his hand. But, on cross-examination he admitted, that it was so dark that he could not swear positively to him. Mr. Unsworth and the keeper proved that one of the men, named Platt, fired the gun, without the previous know ledge or consent of Mr. Unsworth. The case was there fore dismissed----Mr. George Houghton, Ecclesten, was summoned for breach of the beer act, in selling ale on Sun day, at seven o'clock in the morning. Fined £1 and costs. SELECT VESTRY. —The Rev. Rector • Campbell pre sided at the usual meeting of this body, on Tuesday.—A discussion took place relative to the magistrates who had been newly appointed for the despatch of parochial busi ness, on which Mr. Came said, that the parties who had more immediately taken the subject in hand had been absent for some time, Mr. Johnson from ill health, and Mr. Willmer from, having occupations which he did not anticipate at the time. After a few remarks from other members, the subject dropped.—From the unusually long minutes of the Workhouse Committee, it appeared that the• total number of inmates in the house on the 21st ultimo was 1,801. There were 478 s i c k cases , 37 b e i ng o f fever and 50 of itch. Several of the district medical officers had reported the town as being in an unusually healthy conditi on , th e cases o f diarrhoea or dysentery being exceedingly few_ It was recommended to advertise for a district medical-officer, in the place of Mr. C r ipp s , a t a salary of £lOO a-year.—The Dock Committee's mes senger had attended, and pointed out that he delivered the note in reference to the oakum in the governor's office at the workhouse. The governor admitted its receipt, but stated that it was a printed circular, inviting tenders for a ton of oakum, and, as they were then manu facturing none for sale, he had taken no further notice of the communication.—The workhouse, it was reported, had been supplied with flour of a better quality lately. It was recommended that competent assistants be provided for each of the parish dispensaries, in lieu of pauper assist ants, the salary to be 20s. per week, with residence at the. dispensaries. It was also recommended that Mr. James Douglas Kelly, having now qualifi e d, b e appointed dis trict medical-officer of the district held by the late Mr. Duman, and under the like terms and conditions.—Dr., Brett and Mr. Lingley, to whom had been submitted sam ples of the flour from which the late gritty bread had been made, submitted their report. Dr. Brett's abounded in details of the analysis, but Mr. Lingley's at once met the porn' t :—" It contains much bran. The slight grit tiness, I am of opinion, is caused from some hard grains of wheat, usually called by millers and grocers ' flints,' and not by the admixture of any foreign substance."---In consequence of one of the members having complained of the non-employment of the inmates of the workhouse„ the governor submitted a return of their number, and the manner in which they were employed. . This showed that the number of inmates is 1814, from various causes only 657 are fit for work. Of these, 276 are over the age of 60, and a large number are variously afflicted. Of the Women capable of working 172 are over the age of 60 years, who are engaged in knitting. There are 196 under this age who are employed in household duties.—The pro ceedings of the committee were then confirmed, with the exception of that paragraph relative to advertising for a medical-officer in place of Mr. Cripps, the proposed salary being raised from £lOO to £l4O per annum.--A discus sion then took place relative to the health of the town, in which the chairman said; he thought it extremely satis factory to hear from their medical men that their districts were unusually healthy, and that diarrhcea was less pre valent than usual. It was also satisfactory to see. the inspector of nuisances on the alert, and to observe the care taken to cleanse the town. As the town was better drained, and was in a better sanitary condition than on any former occasion, we might hope that the visitation of the disease, if it should come, would be less severe than before. Mr. Kitchen observed that there were only six fever cases under the charge of the district -medical officers, whilst in the corresponding period of last year there were forty-eight.—A communication from the Health Committee was then read, stating that a sub-com mittee of that body bad been formed, who would be glad to sit and confer with a like committee to be appointed by the Vestry, on the subject of the cholera. The following gontlemen were appointed members of the Medical-relief Committee :—Messrs. Biadley, Shaw, Troughton, Kitchen, Banner, Bain, and Luff. Mr. Johnson was re-elected a member of the Vestry, and Mr. Talbot elected assistant medical-officer of the Workhouse. TTTI premises.

DISREPUTABLE MANUFACTURE OF VOTES.-111 the East Cumberland Registration Court, last week, several curious cases were heard ; but the most curious, and not the most creditable, was the following :—Mr. John Ram shay, Lord Carlisle's steward at Naworth, appeared to sus tain the claim to a vote for East Cumberland on the part of Mr. Andrew Robert Fenwiek, Lord Carlisle's steward at Morpeth, by virtue of an annuity of £2 2s. on house property at Brampton belonging to Mr. Ramshay, the alleged consideration-R42. Mr. Ramshay produced the deed, which bore date January 25, 1863. On being pressed.; he was constrained to admit that, on the same 25th of January, 1853, he had received, as the " consideration" spoken of, a deed to the like amount from Mr. Fenwick, granting him, Mr. Ramshay, a similar 'annuity of a. 2s. on property at Morpeth, belonging to Mr. Fenwick, "con sideration," £42, for the purpose of manufacturing a vote for Mr. Ramshay in North Northumberland. On being asked if he had received the annuity, Mr. Ramshay said he had received from Mr. Fenwick a post-office order for two pounds two shillings. Further pressed, he was com pelled to admit, amid a profusion of modest blushes, that, on the same day, he had sent - Mr. Fenwick a post-office order for two pounds two shillings ! !

ItGERIDiE TRAGEDY AT SEA.—By the Indian Mail, just arrived, we are put in possession of the following painful particulars, which we copy from the Friend of India Extra:—The barque Arratoon Apcar, of Calcutta, Henry Lovett, master, left this harbour yesterday morning, bound to Singapore and Calcutta, the crew consisting principally of Bengalese, with eight Chinese, and two Chinese carpen ters. According to the log-book, at noon, with,a westerly breeze,' Green Island was N.E., distant 52 .miles. This is the last entry. At midnight the pilot left, and this morn ing delivered to the agents, Messrs. Lolcaca and ere, a letter from Captain Lovett, covering on e f or Mrs. Co., Lavett, in.Caleutta, to be forwarded by mail leaving to-day. The second mate, Mr. Woodburne, relieved the chief mate on his watch, when the pilot left. Half an hour afterward, the Chinese part of the crew, assisted by two Chi nese pas sengers, came aft, armed with very sharp square knives, and having. disposed of the second mate, and th rown hi m overboard, proceeded into the cabin, where were sleeping Captain Lovett, Dr. Thompson, late of the . Lady Mary Wood, Mr. Smith, late commander of the Red Rover, pas. sengers, Mr. G. H. ,Shirking, chief mate, and an European lad (Charlie), a relative, 'we believe, of Captain Lovett's. Of all those five persons, only Captain Lovett's corpse re mains, and it is supposed, finding it useless to resist armed men, the poor fellows jumped overboard. There are a good many blood smears on the sides of the cabin; but no appearance by which it might be inferred that they were killed on board. The chief mate's cabin is cut abOut a good deal: At the time of assault, a poor Portuguese seen me, by the name of Augustrie, was at the wheel. He says they tried to kill him also, but he got away up the rigging, where also' fled the lascar seamen to watch. The gunner, who brought the Arratoon Apcar into harbour that morn ing, a little after eight, with ensign flying, union down wards, says he slept forwards until two o'clock, when he was awoke by the lascars from ahaft, and learned what had happened. On going aft he met Captain Lovett, who said, " Give me a drink of water," and having taken it, drew.a long breath and expired, death having occurred from a severe cut in the abdOinen, where the bowels were protruding. The gunner found both the quarter-boats gone, the top-sail hallyards cut away, the guns spiked, and fire in the after hold, the scoundrels having attempted to blow up the vessel.. About six o'clock in the morning, a pilot came on board, somewhere. about Linting, and with his assistance the brig was brought into Hong Kong. A s the vessel was not far from two islands at the time, it is possible that the missing people were able to reach th e shore. Mr. Smith, it is said, jumped 'overboard unwound ed, and, being a good swimmer, we entertain strong hopes for his safety.. 'Two steamers' leave for a search inune diately. Captain Lovett's dog, of the English bull-breed, is cut severely across the nose and hip; and having, it is said, fastened his teeth pretty deeply in the calves of the assail ants' legs, it is hoped that by the aid of the marks, the wretches, who cannot be far off, may be discovered.

' In about half an hour he was found on the way, as above stated. 310IIMONITES AT WESTON-SUPEU-MA.RE.—The disciples of Joe Smith were on Tuesday'summarily ejected from the fashionable watering-place of Weston-super-Mare, near Bristol. A "regular down-easter," accompanied by a "local," harangued, a concourse of people on the beach, but they were met in crushing arguments by several clergy men and others. • After patiently hearing both sides, the listeners rushed upon the impostors and drove them com pletely out of the town. The affair created considerable excitement, and, but for the police and a few advocates of free discussion, serious consequences might have resulted to the Mormonites. • PLA.YING CARDS.—In the new stamp act (16 and 17 Vict., cap. 59) which will take effect in a few days, there vision to prevent the evasion of the duty on playino. cards. It has been customary to cut the corners off cards as described in the act, and to omit the ace of spades on which the duty was impressed, selling the same as waste. It is deemed expedient to prevent such a practice, and it is enacted, that no playing cards, except such as shall be bond fide spoiled, and rendered unfit, shall be deemed to be waste cards ; and no playing cards except waste cards sold, be sold otherwise than in packs, each pack containing fifty-two, including an ace of spades duly stamped. For exposing for sale cards other than described, a penalty of £lO is to be imposed, and £2O on a manufacturer selling I such cards. The cards may be seized by any officer of the Inland Revenue, DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. —A casualty of rather a pain ful nature occurred on the estate of Alva on Thursday last. On the afternoon of that day, Mr. Charles Cardwell—at present residing with his brother, the President of the Board of Trade, at Alva House—was enjoying himself in the sports of the field, in the course of which, and while in a field on the banks of the Devon, near a place called Chapelhaugh, he aimed at and killed a young leveret ; but on the instant that the gun was fired, the gamekeeper on the estate, who accompanied Mr. Cardwell, made his ap pearance, and received part of the shot in his arm, side, and face, one of the pellets entering the right eye. Medi cal assistance was immediately obtained, and the game keeper still lies in a precarious condition, although it is thought he is yet likely to recover. As may be imagined, the mental anxiety of Mr. Cardwell, who has been the innocent cause of the occurrence, is very great.—Falkirk Herald. CARRYING MATTERS VERY FAR.—A party of ladies and gentlemen, amounting in all to eleven persons, arrived at Berwick by the North British railway on Saturday, whence they proceeded in three carriages to the plains of Flodden. They had with them an infant of three or four months old, and the object of theirvisit appeared to be to "A this infant baptized with the waters flowing through ' of Flodden.. They.w 4 by. a c'- --ty-were acempanieu._ .aergy man, reported to belong to Glasgow. The ceremony being concluded, they 'returned to Berwick and left again by railway for Edinburgh. The principals of the party were reported to be Americans, and the father of the child is said to have discovered that some 'of his ancestors were slain with James IV. at the battle of Flodden. Hence his desire to have his child baptized at that memorable locality, and which had induced him to come from New York. At , all events, he stated to some of the persons whose services were engaged that he had travelled 3,000 miles for the purpose.—Edinburgh Advertiser. CHASE AND CAPTURE OF A CHI:NV OF FRENCH SMUG GLERS.—The magistrate§ of Lowestoft were engaged last week in investigating one of the largest seizures-that has been made on the coast for twenty years, the prize money of which will amount to upwards of £1540. The crew of a French lugger, called the Abondance, of Dunkirk, Alfred Philippe Morin, master, were charged with being found on board that vessel, whichl had stowed in her 120 bales of contraband tobacco, within the limits of that port. A few mornings since, at daybreak, the coast guard had their attention drawn to a lugger about half a mile outside the Holm Sand. As the morning advanced and got lighter, she stood further off, and continued staudingon and off. At first she was suppoSed to be a fishing lugger; but her strange movements soon excited suspicion, and it was de termined to go out after her. Lieutenant Joachim, the senior officer, and several men pressed into their service a steam-tug, and 'an exciting chase soon ensued after the mysterious craft. After several hours' run she was come up with, and boarded, and then they discovered the bales of tobacco. The master, being interpreted, said that he took the tobacco from a vessel at sea, which had too heavy a cargo, and which, according to the laws of France, they had a right to do. The bench decided that they must convict them each in the penalty of £lOO, or to be impri soned until the fines were paid; but as it was possible that some of the defendants might not know exactly what they were doing, they would send a recommendation to the government on their behalf. WIFE-SI:AUGIITEIt IN LEEDS. —Early on Sunday morn ing week a sickening ease of wife-slaughter occurred in Leeds, when a young woman, six months advanced in pregnancy, fell a victim to her husband's brutality, who is an Irishman named Michael Reynolds, a hawker of mats. On the Saturday evening, after partaking of supper, they went to the Fleece Inn, adjacent, and there Michael became the worse for liqtior and struck his wife. Between twelve and one o'clock in the morning she went home, followed by,her husband and an aCquaintance. Here the. husband made some advances towards a reconciliation, but, upon being told that he had acted very differently before strangers in a public-house, he struck her in the face with a piece of whalebone, and subsequently with his fist. He followed this up by seizing her by the nape of the neck and flinging her, face downwards, upon the floor. She fell upon her hands and knees, and, while in this position, he kicked her with terrible force in a tender part of the person, rupturing important vessels and tearing open the flesh frightfully. She rose, clasped her hands, Shrieked "Murder !" begged for a doctor to be fetched, sank upon the floor s which was deluged with blood, and in about 20 minutes, before the arrival of medical aid, she was a corpse. Reynolds, who had thus been guilty of a double murder, as soon as he saw the fatal fruits of his brutality, fled. A coroner's inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate woman, and a verdict of" Manslaughter" sgainst Michael Reynolds was returned. - EXTRAORDINANY CHANGE pV. FORTVNE.—A sailor who has just beconie the 'sudden possessor of property amount ing to £60,000, is a Scotchman, named Thomas Black, and has lately been doing duty as a petty officer on board her Majesty's ship Leander, now lying in Plymouth 'Sound. It appears that he is connected with a highly . respectable family in Perthshire, was well educated, and intended by his parents for one of the learned professions. Seventeen years ago, however, he ran from home and entered the naval service, doing duty as a common sailor, and, having acquired some reputation as a mariner, he was advanced to the rank of a petty officer. This was his position when, about nine months ago, an' advertisement'appeared in the Times,informing Thomas BlaCk, if he were still alive, that by communicating wii h certain barties therein named he would hear of something to his advantage. Thomas Black, however, did not read the Times, and for months remained in ignorance of the " something," which his next of kin were beginning to be afraid they would be obliged to appropriate to their own use and benefit. Luckily for Black, however, he one day entered into con versation with a footman, whom he net accidentally at the Cove of Cork, and who had heard from another ser vant some particulars touching the lost heir to the Perth shire estates. The result was, that Black made his exis tence known in the proper quarter, and after the lapse of a few months his claims were recognised, and he succeeded in obtaining his discharge from naval servitude, on the arrival of the Leander at the port of Plymouth from New York, which took 'place a few days ago. The lucky sailor and his friend, Lieutenant Barnard, R.N., are now in Scotland, adjusting the preliminaries. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS HAVE CURED A PALPITATION OF THE HEART AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH.—I. Word, of the Tat. European Bengal Fusiliers, Lahore, had suffered for three , years from a palpitation of the heatt, great difficult of breathing, a diseased liver, and an overflow of blood to the chest to such a degree that he vomited considerable quanti ties. His case was considered hopeless, having baffled the skill of several 'eminent medical men, who gave him up as past all human aid. Whilst lingering in this condition, he was advised to try Holloway's pills, and solely by their means he has been effectually cured, and his health completely re established.

AGAINST MORMONIS:g.—A. young !married man, named Woodcock, of Chapel-street, Ormskirk, late of Aughton, who about a fortnight WO was baptised into the Mormon faith, returned from his work on Thursday morning last, when he told his wife and others that God had appeared to him, and told him he was possessed of a devil, which he was to go and get cast out of him. Since his mock baptism, which took place at eleven o'clock at night, in a pit in the neighbourhood, the poor fellow has been quite delirious, and he is now in a high state of fever, brought on by the cold he sustained on the occasion. When he got home he was dripping wet. It is thought by his wife that he has been fleeced of a sum of money which is missing.—Preston Pilot. ESCAPE OF JOHN MITCIIELL.—The Me/bourne of June 18 gives the following particulars of the e John Mitchell from Van Diemen's Land :—" Mr. . .scape of Mitchell assistant ,ited a day or two ago on Davies, th police magistrate of Bothwell, with a letter which con tained his parole of honour, and he offered to place himself in the custody of the police. While Mr. Davies was pe 'rasinr, the letter, Mr. Mitchell abruptly. left the office, and proceeding outside, where two fleet horses were in waiting, rode off at full speed, accompanied by a gentleman sup posed by the police to be Mr. W. L. Smyth, the corres pondent of the New York Tribune. He has not been heard of since. Mr. Martin, another of the state prisoners residing in the same district, has since reported himself to be at his authorised place of residence. Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Martin, and O'Doherty are all who are left in Van Diemen's Land of the men of '48." he Popes, who 41 - all who presumed to read the Bi fission of the Church of Rome and wits Cardinal Wiseman, who, in a pamphlet published this very year, had said, that the experiment of what the indiscrimi of the Scriptures would do had been tried led success in the dominions of Queen nate reading with nnexa Pomare ; and that it had succeeded in transforming a and promising race of people into a pack of lazy and im moral heathens ! Oni almost trembled to think that any man should dare to say it. The lecturer next spoke of the circumstances which led to the deposition of Chrysostom, one of the charges against hini being, that lire had Compared the Empiess Eudozia to Jezebel. He was banished to a place over against Nicomedia, in the Bosphorus. But such was the attachment of the people to him that he was speedily recalled, and returned amidst the most triumphant rejoic ings. This bright gleam of sunshine, however, was not destined to last. Where one party would not give up sinning, and the other could not refrain from speaking the truth, there could be no enduring peace. He again gave offence to the empress by his Plainness of speech, having publicly exclaimed against a feast which was held, with many heathen ceremonies, on the consecration of a lver statue, which she he specifie c of exercising his episcopal functions after he had been deposed, he was condemned and banished to the town of Cucusus, on the confines of Armenia, in Cappadocia. His last days were embittered by the severity of the soldiers who had charge of him. He was ordered to move about from one town to another, not being suffered to remain long in any one place, because of the favour and affection everywhere shown to him. If at any time one of his keepers showed something like humanity towards him, the other increased his harshness and cruelty. On the 14th of September, 407, at Coniana, in Pontus, he was gathered to his rest. In concluding his lecture, Mr. Ryan instituted a parallel between Chrysostom and . Henry liartyn, their opinions and habits of thinking being shown, in some important particulars, to bear a. close resemblance to each other. It was a singular coincidence, that the place of their death was the same, though under different names. One feature in Chrysostom's religious character was very deeply marked ; namely, the strong impression which he had, burnt into him, as it were,. that " all on earth was vanity." One cause which produced this disposition of mind - was doubtless the many public examples he had seen of the instability of human greatness. had perished - 'olent d Nine emperors Jed by premature or violent , own experience. He had a deep and solemn conviction of the all-paramount importance of heaven. Some of his most powerful appeals were amplifications of the words of Scripture in this respect; while the sublimest effort of human eloquence had been thought to be his discourse on the words " We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." As a proof of his energy, it might be men tioned, that he was in the habit of preaching day after day for weeks in succession. He was distinguished by the comprehensiveness of his views. He delighted in un folding the Scriptures as a whole. The number of his consecutive compositions was a proof of this. He wrote ninety homilies on Matthew, eighty-eight on John, fifty five ou the Acts of the Apostles, thirty-two on the Epistle Mr. H. I to the Romans, forty-four on the First Epistle to the Co- inthians, fifty on the. Second Epistle, and so on in.pro portion. _His manner was to expound a portion of Scrip ture, and then, after interspersing some practical remarks, to seize upon some one vice or folly, and to denounce it with all the powers of his reasoning and eloquence, as he did the habit of Swearing at Antioch. This had led to much unfair quotations from his works. At one time he seemed to think much of monastic- seclusion, and his authority had been frequently cited in support of it ; but at another time he said, in discoursing upon the Epistle to Timothy, " Monks give a pretext that ought not to be allowed: their duty ought to lead them into the world, to try to do it good, if they know the truth." He had been represented as making much of man's doings ; but, if he appeared to do so at One time, at another he showed that the beginning, the progreSs, and the end of Christian life were entirely the effect of the grace of God. His style was most varied, embracing the closest argumentation minute details of daily life. His method of arresting the attention was very striking.. He once commenced his discourse by saying, " I should exceedingly like to know whether you, my brethren, attend to what you hear from me. I will seize some opportunity and examin( you on the sermons you I _ lave heard. 0, but you will give us some notice, you will say. No. But, then, it will surely be the last sermon, No : it may be the sermon of a fortnight or three weeks back;" and so on. His faith fulness was exemplary. While there might be much in his works that appeared trifling, and some expositions that were fanciful and unsound, yet was he, thi•ough all faithful servant, wishing to - eialt his heavenly master, ' and to work for him everywhere. The way in which he was treated in the capital of the eastern empire was doubtless an important crisis in her moral probation, and therefore very telling en her subsequent history. It was not weak walls, but weak principles, that made Constantinople the prey of enemies, from the west first, and afterwards from the east. The crescent did not triumph over the cross, till the cross had become a superstitious, and therefore an unmeaning sign. The Greeks, like the Jews, persecuted the principles of the prophets, while they professed to ve nerate their sepulchres. The fidelity of Chrysostom was illustrated by the previous history of Constantinople, by the tone of society in his day, and by the subsequent de generacy of the Christian church within its walls. Mr. Ryan comprised the whole of his subject in: one lec ture. Next Friday, Mr. Bainbrigge, surgeon, of this town, will commence a course of four lectures on the phy siology of the mind, and the great purposes of education. DEATII OF A. SIM , CATTAIL—Anthony Dadson, master of the ship Indus, inward bound, died on Friday night, whilst the ship was in the channel, on her passsage from Pambroca to this port. The ship arrived on Saturday, and, from the statement of the mate, it appears that the deceased had been suffering from jaundice for some time, of which he died. THE CITY OP MANCHESTER (screw-steamer) arrived on Sunday, from Philadelphia, after a run of 15 days.

NEWTON-LE-WILLOWS FARMERS CLUB. Tun eighth anniversary of the Newton-in-Mackerfield Agricultural Society took place on Thursday, in a field behind the Horse and Jockey Hotel, near the Newton Bridge station. The weather was cold and windy, which had the effect of checking the attendance ; still it was numerous and respectable, upwards of 300 persons having visited the yard. The horses were really a credit to the locality, both numerous and valuable ; the cows and heifers were exceedingly good; the pigs were much admired both for beauty, breed, and value, and formed one chief topic of conversation. The vegetables did the cottagers great credit, and were much examined ; while the poultry far surpassed the collections shown at all , previous meeting w , for value, breed, rarity, and beauty. r The sweepstakes were keenly competed for. The judges were Messrs. Bothwell, Dixon, Hampson, Morley, and Longton. UPwards of £75 is annually given by this enterprising society to the tenantry of Mr. Thomas Legh, of Lyme Park, "to promote improvements in agriculture, and to reward the skill and industry of the cottager and farm labourer on his estates in Lancashire." The silver cup was given to Mrs. Lowton, of Newton, " for the farm under all 'circumstances - the best cultivated." After the usual inspections in the yard the next proceeding in' order was that of the dinner, which took place in the large room at the Horse and Jockey Inn, where upwards of 200 sat down. Mr. W. Mercer presided; and, after- the_ cloth was withdrawn, the usual loyal, local, and complimentary toasts were given and responded to, and the meeting broke up well pleased with the show, the dinner, and their day's enjoyment. The following is a list of the prizes awarded: BEST CVLTIVATED FAI2III of 60 acres, Mr. John Aspinall, Haydock ; of 20 acres; Mrs. Lowton, Newton.

I THE STORM Me fine packet-ship Neva, which dragged her anchors in the river during the severe gale last week, and was brought up against the Huskisson Dock wall, has been placed in that dock, where it has been ascertained that she has not suffered material damage.
