SCURVY IN THE GUN FFECTUALLY PREVENTED Among the various disorders of the mouth, there are none more destructive than Scurvy, which, on first entering the gums, causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the teeth, penetrating into the gums, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then besome loose and drop out of their sockets, and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other ; in short, Scurvy in the Gums affects indivi duals of all ales and constitutions, and if not speedily removed, will be theprimary cause of tooth-ache and decay. that they have appy to sta' Messrs.

The inhabitants of Warrington, at a public meeting, have decided on applying for a charter of incorporation. At the post-office in this town, nearly 120,000 money orders are granted during the year, the commission only on which must amount to above £2,000. • The bridge erected by Mr. Marsden, of Liverpool, at Creg Willey's-hill, Isle of. Man, was carried away by the recent flood, and both arches destroyed. About ten o'clock, on Thursday night, a man, named T+.omas M'Grath, dropped down and instantly expired, at his residence in Croston-street, Toxteth-park. ANOTHER DOOMED FRIGATE.—One of the best ra zees in the navy, the Dublin, 50-gun frigate, late the flag ship in the Pacific, has been selected by the Navy Office for a lazaretto for Liverpool, to replace the Merlin. We observe that the great Western steamer will start from this port on her first trip this season, to New York, on the 11th of April, and the Great Britain on the 9th of May. _ . . . . . A man of the name of Nathaniel Currie is now in cus tody at Minchester, charged with the murder of a young woman named Elizabeth Ellison, whose body was found in the Rochdale Canal, on the 10th instant. The collections, at the opening of the Irish Presbyterian Church, on Sunday last, amounted to the extremely libe ral sum of £243; and the receipts since have been £43, making a total of £286. Fort Anne, the residence of Sir William Hillary, at the Isle of Man, has been sold to James Newton, Esq., Cheadle Heath, Cheshire, proprietor of Harrold rower, for the sum of £l3OO. The new iron steam-packet now building in the Clyde for the station between Liverpool and Douglas, will be called the Tynwald, the hill on which all the laws of the island must be proclaimed before they are acted upon. Fifty gentlemen were present at the annual dinner of the Liverpool Chess Ciub, at the Adelphi Hotel, on Wed nesday. Mr. Augustus Mongredien occupied the chair, and the vice-chair was filled by Mr. James Lister. We understand that at the council meeting to-morrow an elaborate report will be made respecting the bill to be brought into Parliament for providing abundant water and pure air for the town. CHILD SCALDED TO DEATH.—On Wednesday morn ing week, Elizabeth Champion, a child about two months old, pulled a cup of hot coffee over her and was severely scalded. She died on Sunday week. OXTON.—Thii rapidly improving township is now lighted up with thirty patent naptha lamps. The lamps are fitted up with what are termed coxcomb burners, having a powerful reflector, of the butterfly shape. John Carturit, living in Mary-street, Hampstead-road, lately received intelligence that by the death intestate of an uncle in Liverpool he had become possessed of £B,OOO personal property. Carturit, who is a hatter by trade, was in very reduced circumstances. A set of new chairs has been introduced into the Ex change Newsroom.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Friday morning last, Mr. R. Maxwell, formerly a travelling draper, was found dead, about eleven o'clock in the morning, at his lodgings at Wigan. The deceased, who had acquired a handsome competency by his business, has, for several years, unfor tunately given himself up to great dissipation. On Wednesday night, a man named Ingham, living in Bostock-street, after having been drinking in a public house in Scotland-road, went homewards by Boundary_ road, where, in getting over a field wall about three yards high, he fell down upon some stones. Ile was taken home in a state of insensibility, and died on the '- morning of apoplexy. FEMALE BURNT TO DEATH.—On Saturday afternoon, Mary Arvr, an aged female, was burnt to_ death in her ullowing EXTRAORDINARY AND ALARMING OCCURRENCE. About twenty-five minutes before twelve o'clock on Saturday forenoon, great alarm and anxiety were excited in Fenwick-street, in the surrornding neighbourhood of Exchange Ward, and shortly after throughout the business parts of the town, (to which the news quickly spr. , ad,) by the instantaneous falling down of a large heavily-laden bonded warehouse, extending between Moor-street and the Old Ropery,—two small streets running out of Fen wick-street westward, and parrallel with James-street, one of the principal thoroughfares from Castle-street to George's-pier. It was known that a number of men (how many was not then known) were at work within the build ing at the time, and the apprehension at first entertained was that about twenty had lost their lives; but it was happily soon afterwards ascertained that but one man was missing, the others employed having escaped with their lives almost by a miracle,—though there is yet an uncer tainty whether some one or more, casually passing along Moto-street, might have fallen victims, a great portion of the ruins and contents of the building having been launch ed into that street, which they blocked up to the height of upwards of twenty feet. An immense number of specta tors speedily congregated towards the spot (and the crowd still continues to be consideable), but, with the exception of a few who had an immediate interest in the catastrophe, or those in authority, they were kept at a safe distance by the police. The warehouse, known as " Hammond's", was the pro perty of Mr. John Tipping, and rented by Mr. Dean, who again sub-let the rooms (as is usual) to several tenants, amongst whom were Messrs. William Steele and Co.. Mr. Slattery, Messrs Wilds, Pickersgill, and Co., and one or two others. It had two frontages, one to each street named ; was seven stories high from the ground ; and its length from street to street was upwards of 30 yards. The building was an old one, having been known upwards of 40 years; but it bad undergone repairs, and about two years ago was furnished with iron doors as a security from fire. It does not appear to us, on looking at the remain ing walls, or the mortar or woodwork, that the ware house was built less strongly than is usual ; and as an in quiry will no doubt be instituted into th cause of its downfall, we refrain from observation further than re • marking from what we can learn, and hare ourselves ob served from the middle of the ruins, that it was' not loaded to a very extraordinary degree, though nearly full, and that the accident is one which is involved in the chapter of probabilities. Certainly no person would wil fully store valuable property, such as grain, flour, &c., in such quantity as they believed would subject great part of it to destruction ; and amongst the conjectures entertained by ourselves and others, we think it likely that some of the internal wooden props, or pillars, between some of the floors--all of which were not equally loaded--must have been drawn from their places in the beams above by the slight swagging of the floors in some of the lower stories, and bad dropped down unobserved so as to leave no continuous suppoit from top to bottom of uite as robabl that the grain or ing—or, what is c the rooms, had by its latteral pressure, (something in the nature of water,) burst out the walls at the Mo , r-street end. This is the more probable, from the fact that the premises were heaviest laden at that end, and that not only was the frontage there,—of course, unsupported from without, but also the side wall on the west, over half its length, there being a va cancy or hiatus there between it and the neat warehouse lower down. k in some o The Mayor, Mr. James Lawrence, Mr. Dowling, a officers, and others, were - _ promptly on tl-e spot, with a number of labourers engaged at the moment to clear away the wreck as speedily as possible, and above all to save the lives of any persons that might be under the ruins It was at first thought that there were some men in the cellar at the Moor-street end, which conthined rum belonging to Mr. Wm. Pres ton, and was vaulted, and a hole was dug through from the cellar of the warehouse on the east, by M 4. Hewitt, of the fire-police, and his men, with a view to extricate them ; but it was soon afterwards learned from an excise officer who had been there shortly before that the men employed had left previous to the a:cident. At the same time it was rumoured that the voice of a suff-rer was heard under the ruins and near their top, and great exer tions were made to get him out with all due caution, but this it afterwards appeared was a mistake, the only really missing man being probably much nearer the other, or Old Ropery end, and not yet found. At the time of the accident there were nine men in the room No. 2, the second from the ground, employed in DESTRUCTION OF OUR BATHING LOCALITIES The recent increase of building on this side of the river, and the new docks, &c., on the other, have made fearful havoc with our bathing localities. Within the memory of the present generation, the entire n the Prince's Dock to Bootle Sands, was available to our population and to visitors in search of health and relaxa tion. A very few years ago, the shore opposite the Ro tunda, now occupied by docks, was crowded in the sum mer months with bathing machines and bathers of the humbler classes, Whilst the Bootle Sands were frequented by the more fashionable portion of our population, and by respectable families from the interior. The growth of the docks northward, and the erection of marke villas close to the Bootle shore, which precludes bathing opposite, have left now for the use of the public, as bathing ground, only the space from the North Dock works, now forming, to a point nearly opposite the site of the new fort ; and it is doubtful whether, in a short time, bathing will not be prohibited altogether on this side of Bootle land-marks, if even it can be enjoyed, with a regard to decency, south of Crosby. On the other side of the river, Woodside and Scacombe can no longer be regarded as bathing places. The forma tion of the Wallasey docks has completely changed the character of these localities. Egremont still retains, no minally, its character as a bathing village ; but the en croachment of the sea upon its shore, which is rapidly washing away the high ground, and rendering the shore very precipitous, are fast driving bathers towards the Magazines and New Brighton. The erection of villas and marine parades are similarly changing the character of Rock Ferry and New Ferry from mere bathing places to fashionable suburbs of the town, growing up upon the sites of the ancient hamlets of Birkenhead and Tranmere. At a first glance, it might be concluded that the value of property, in the localities thus converted, and the cha racter of the population as well, has been deteriorated. Such, however, is not the case. On both sides of the river, the price of building land has been materially en hanced, and is rapidly assuming a value closely approach ing to that of the unoccupied plots in town; whilst the character of the population has been raised both in res pectability and in station. It ought naturally to occur to our authorities to inquire what are the steps which are to be taken to secure to Liverpool, as far as practicable, the facilities of the sea, or, at least, salt water blthing. Hitherto, the ready access to the river has constituted a main source of enjoy ment, by our industrious population, of this great commu nity conducive to health. It is now well nigh placed beyond the reach of all excep• - . the wealthy ; and as we cannot arrest the march of building and improvement, we ought to try to provide efficient baths by artificial means. We have done something already, by the establishment of our Cor poration Baths and Washhouses. It is incumbent on us, however, with a view to the promotion of the public health, y recommend it ping, could not be fourid in our river its...lf for locatit . ig conveniently arranged and capacious floating baths. We do not see why we might not even have one or more of these fitted up for females alone ; and are confident that, with a steamer to ply to each instead of the open boats formerly used, they would be very extensively used. even made a source of profit.

Ifs purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its ex clusive selection by the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, together with the " elite" of the Aristocracy and " Haute Voice ;" from the sultry climes of India, and the Drawing-rooms of Calcutta and Ma dras, to the frozen realms of the Czar and the salons of ,:St. Petersburg and Moscow. This exotic preparation is perfectly innoxious, acting in all cases by promoting a healthy tone of the minute vessels, and is the most elegant as well as the most effective Toilet appendage hitherto submitted to universal patronage. THE NIIII.SERY: One of the most important uses of this invaluable Preparation is its peculiar adaptation for the use of Children and the pur poses of the Nursery. As a wash for Infants it cannot be too strongly recommended ; cooling, healing, and innoxious, it may be used.by the most delicate laity or child with assurance of the most perfect safety and effect : it preserves and beautifies the young and tender skin, and insures it from derangement by external causes. LA DIES who, while nursing, suffer pain from sore or inflamed nipples, will find an unfailing relief in the KA LY DOR ; and from its peculiar power to allay irritation and cool the mouth, it ren ders pleasing and painless that most delightful task imposed by maternal duty. CAUTION. Its high and universal reputation causes unprincipled Shop keepers to offer spurious compounds for sale under the title of " KALYDOR," composed of mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health. It is therefore imperative on purchasers to see that the words '` ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" are on the Envelope (an Engraving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. PERKINS, BACON, and Co.)

They consist of four bills, being a series of measures having for their ob ject to heal all party differences, and thereby to consoli date the wealth, power, and resources of the British em pire, simply by securing a real bona fide independent legislature for Ireland. REPORTED Loss OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.—A pas senger on board the Sons of Commerce, Williams, from Hobart Town to London, arrived at Pernambuco on the 21st December, reported that a vessel, with emigrants, bound to Port Philip, supposed to be the Cataraque, from Liverpool, had been totally wrecked on the Harbinger Reefs, at the west entrance to Bass's Straits, and that 414 persons had been drowned. The news had reached Ho bart Town on the 24th September, the day previous to the sailing of the Sons of Commerce. OFFICIAL RESIGNATIONS.—The Morning Post has several paragraphs of gossip on this subject, which have not been contradicted. The following, it is stated, have tendered their resignations in consequence of Sir Robert Peel's free-trade policy :—Lord Arthur Lennox, brother of the Duke of Richmond ; Mr. Milnes Gaskell ; the Hon, Arthur Duncombe, brother to Lord Feversham (Equerry to the Queen); Capt. William Gordon, brother to the Earl of Abet deen (Lord of the Admiralty); the Earl of Hardwicke (Lord of the Bedchamber) ; the Mar quis of Exeter (Groom of the Stole to Prince Albert). Among the other seceders are named, the Marquis of Granby, Lords Delawarr and Forester. DISTRESSING CASE.—On Sunday morning, a poor widow woman named Eliza Schovie, residing in a house in Gomer-street, (No. 17), being enceinte and in great des titution, delivered herself of a child. The child, which was born at ten o'clock, died in about three hours after wards. The mother was without clothing beyond some rags, and was destitute of all the necessaries of life in her perilous situation. It was found that she had also three fine children equally unprovided for. Her husband was a seaman, had gone abroad in June last, leaving her only one month's wages, (probably all in his power,) and ac counts had since been received that he had died. The beadle, with his usual alacrity in such cases, applied to the authorities at the workhouse and readily procured the requisite relief in clothing, food, and a small sum of mo ney. The case is, nevertheless, one worthy of the consi deration of the humane. ,EXTRAORDINARY APTITUDE OF REPLY.—We give in another column a digest of the sermon of Dr. Pusey, preached at Oxford on Sunday last, which appeared in the London Times of last night, which arrived in Liverpool at half-past three o'clock. Granting that, at the very earliest, it could be delivered at four, p.m., it might come into the hands of the Rev. Hugh M`Neile at that hour. We bad our reporter at a meeting last night of the Prayer Book and Homily Society, which commenced at seven o'clock, at the commencement of which the Rev. Hugh M`Neile was present, and during the proceedings delivered a reply to the Rev. Doctor's sermon, which, for aptitude and sound argumentative oratory, has rarely been sur passed even by that most eloquent and able speaker. We regret that, in the present state of our columns, and at this late hour, we cannot do justice to the Rev. Gen tleman. To all who had the pleasure of hearing, how ever, his speech will ever be a triumph of intellect,unsur passed, and not likely to be surpassed. GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.—On Friday evening, the workmen in the employ of Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy, Engineers, met at Mrs. Rawson's, the Lamb and Flag lon, and sat down to an excellent dinner prepared in the best style by the worthy hostess. The object of meeting was to present Mr. Alexander Colville, one of the fore men in Messrs. Bury and Co.'s establishment, and who is about to leave the employ, with a token of respect for the uniform kindness and urbanity invariably evinced by him towards the workmen whom he superintended. The chair was taken by Mr. Adam Ainslie, a foreman in the same employ, and after dinner and the usual loyal toasts, the health and prosperity of the firm was given with immense cheering. The chairman then called on Mr. Walter Stewart to present Mr. Colville, i n th e name o f th e work men, with the testimonial, which c o ns i s t e d o f a h an d some silver watch, richly cliyed and ornamented, guard and all appendages, and bearing a suitable inscription. Mr. Col ville returned thanks in very feeling terms, and said he should always he impressed with the most exalted and grateful sense of their generosity and kindly feeling, and hoped his successor would meet with the same regard from them that he had experienced. The health of the com mittee was then proposed and duly responded to, and the evening was spent throughout with the utmost hilarity and good friendship. s having heard groans i:,to a house and found her in names. The fire was ex inguisherl, but she was severely buret, and died in a short time after the accident. THE MILITIA.—The following are the qualification s for holding commissions in the militia : 7 For colonel £lOOO a-year landed property, or to be heir-apparent to £2OOO a-year. For lieutenant-colonel £6OO a-year landed property, or to be heir-apparent to £l2OO a-year. For major £4OO a-year landed property, or to be heir-appa rent to -£BOO a-year. For captain £2OO a-year landed property, or to be heir-apparent to £4OO a year. One half of such property must be in the county to which such regiment belongs. ANOTHER FATAL GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION.—On Friday evening last, at Madelev, which is situate eight miles south of Crewe, on the Grand Junction Railway, some children were purloining gunpowder from a barrel in their father's house, which was kept for blasting in the mine, when, accidentally, one of them let a candle fall on the barrel, which immediately exploded, and, in a moment, reduced the house to a ruin. The children were seriously injured, but are expected to recover. The unfortunate mother, who was in an upper room, was carried up along with the floor, and was literally shattered to pieces. The inhabitants of the adjoining cottage were happily out, and consequently escaped this dreadful catastrophe. There were thirty-two pounds of gunpowder in the house, the whole of which exploded. Four of the adjoining cottages were much damaged. SEIZURE OF THE BRIG LADY SALE, OF THIS PORT, BY A PORTUGUESE MAN-OF-WAR.—Considerable sen sation has been occasioned in this town amongst the merchants engaged in the African trade by the illegal seizure of the brig named, whilst trading on the coast of Africa for palm oil, ivory, &c. It appears from a French paper, which first published the account, (substantially correct), that the vessel, which belonged to the house of Charles Horsfall and Son, had been two or three months in Rio Zaire and Congo to procure palm oil and ivory, but not being successful, was going to Ambrez to take a cargo of copal, when she was captured, during the ab sence of the captain, by a Portuguese man-of-war, and afterwards condemed by the Portuguese authorities on the assumed ground she had on board 26 casks of water, several bags of rice, and some bars, and that therefore the probability was that she was a slaver. There was not the slightest ground for such an imputation. The articles stated are always taken out by vessels in the legitimate trade to the coast, and are actually necessary to pursuing it. The Portuguese judges have been over zealous in their construction of the slave treaty between the two countries, and a representation from her Majesty's Government will, we trust, be promptly attended to by our ancient ally of Portugal, so that restitution may be made. The idea of any vessel belonging to Messrs. Horsfall being engaged in the slave trade is, of course, preposterous. ATROCIOUS CRUELTY.—At Manchester Police-court, on Friday, a man and his wife, named Marshall, who keep a beerhouse in that town, were brought up fer hav ing ill-treated a decrepid old woman, 67 years old, the mother of the male prisoner. One witness said that he was passing the house of the prisoners the preceding day, when he perceived Marshall's wife swinging wand a double rope, with which she was flogging an old woman, who appeared to be fastened in a chair. The woman, after beating the poor old creature with the rope, struck her with her fist, and afterwards ran at her and kicked her just underneath the knee. He then tapped at the window, in hopes that when the woman found her bruta lity was observed she would desist, and his doing so seemed to have the desired effect. Mr. Beswick, the superin tendent of the police, said that he had been to the house, and found the wretched parent fastened to a chair in the cellar by an iron chain, which was passed round one of her arms and waist, and secured through the spindles at the back of the chair by a padlock Her arms were left at liberty, but on her hands they had placed a pair of lone gauntlets, formed of strong bed ticking, which came up to and were fastened at the elbow, the bottom portion or fringes of these gauntlets being formed of strong leather, like the shield used by a " hedger and ditcher." The case was remanded. LAUNCH.—On Wednesday, the launch of two steamers took place from Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Co.'s yard, Pottery. About half-past ten o'clock, everything being in preparation, the Windsor, for such she was named by Mrs. Grantham, left her stocks, and glided beautifully into the water. In a few minutes afterwards the second vessel was launched, and christened by another lady the Ajax. The first-named vessel is the property of the City of Dublin Company, ant is intended to ply between this port and Belfast. She is 200 feet between perpendiculars, has 20 feet beam, and 16 feet depth of hold ; her extreme length over all is 230 feet. She was built under the im mediate superintendence of Mr. Grantham. The Ajax is the property of the City of Cork Company, and is to be placed on the station between London and Cork. Her dimensions are about the same as those of the other ves sel, having but five feet more in length, and two inches in depth of hold. She was built under the direction of Mr. J. Haselden. Both vessels will be fitted up with engines of 350 horse power, constructed by Messrs. Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy. These vessels have been erected in the short space of six months, and being built upon a different construction in their fine lines, some interest is felt as to their sailing qualifications. The keel of another vessel. the fourth in succession for the same City of Cork Company, is about to be laid by Messrs. Vernon, which, we understand, is to be of less tonnage than either of the vessels launched on Wednesday, and is to be provided w ith engines of 400 horse power. FRESH PRESERVED BOILED BEEF.—This novel, but excellent article of importation, is brought before the no tice of our readers to-day in the advertisement of Mr. Windle, of Bath-street, which appears in our first page. It is made up, after being cooked, in air-tight tin cases, and is principally fed on the banks of the Danube, in Hungary, where, the pastures being rich, it is considered excellent in quality. At the price of 40. per lb., cooked, and free from bone, it is likely to supersede the salt pro visions usually supplied to ships, thereby almost ensuring good health, and partibularly freedom from scurvy to the crews, .for whose use it may be provided. Mr. Windle is the only large holder and importer of it in Liverpool, his articl and find; the demand daily increasing under Sir R. Peel's abolition of the duty on at the unprecedented low price, would be a boo labouring classes of this country, who must be paying from 7d. to 7d. for fresh beef with the bone in it. At present, the stock is but limited, and owing to the Danube being frozen, no increased supply need for some expected. It. is really tender, mellow, add delici le seven taken it bags into that room, 800 on Friday, and 300 on Saturday, or about 1,400 in all. These men all escaped save mae. They were luckily engaged at or near the Old Ropery frontage, the outer or front wall of which (supported by warehouses o❑ each side) did not fall, though it consider ably bulged out from between the ground and the fourth story. We have seen one of these fortunate parties— Peter Kelly—who keeps an oyster-shop at the top of Hood-street. He is an intelligent man, and has given us some interesting inforrnition. He and his two companions, Edward Norman and Patrick . were in the jigger loft. The first intimation of impending danger was a gust of wind. He was then about eight yards from the en trance of the warehouse stairs, and had the cat-head gearing and ropes to jump over in making his exit. All three of them were, at the time, in the gangway, a long narrow scaffold boarded up at the sides, and near the roof of the building, being the communication, for convenience, from the jigger tackle at one front of the warehouse to that at the other. Immediately after the gust of wind, about three fourths of the whole warehouse and its contents took their de parture and were launched into Moor-street. A crash was first heard, and a cracking in all directions. An im mense cloud of dust instantly enveloped them, and they had to grope their way. He got out of the loft first—he scarce knows by what Providence. The others followed, and they got down stairs with a celerity they never ex ercised before. They, in fact, tumbled down, and were more or less hurt, though not seriously. Our informant states that he found the door at the bottom jammed up, and was almost hopeless of escaping, but felt himself endowed, as he thought, with "the strength of a lion," and succeeded in forcing it open. Thankful be and his comrades expressed themselves for their delivery. In room No. 2 eight out of the nine escaped. Two of them jumped out of the doorway, a height of nine or ten feet. Six of the eight were hurt more or less. Kelly thinks that there were six or seven thousand lons of stuff in the warehouse altogether, including wheat in bulk, American flour in barrels, a large lot of peas, &c. If the accident had happened on the previous day, when the men were employed at the Moor-street end, all of them would have perished, except two who were at the Old Ropery end. The missing man, Peter Tracey. was trucking at the time, and was down the room No. 2 about two-thirds of its length from the Old Ropery frontage. He is stated to be a respectable, industrious man—a widower, with three children. On Saturday afternoon one of his sons was seen about the ruins, crying for his father, and on Sunday his daughter was there, also in g rea t di s t ress . Amongst the injured were Owen M'Kenna, aged 26, who had his hip knocked out of joint ; Thomas Cash, disfi gured in the face and and hands; John Solan, hurt with a nail in the shoulder, and also hurt in the hack. One of them was sent to the Infirmary. Three of the rooms were filled with wheat, one with pease, and the others with 4000 or 5000 barrels of flour. A great number of men were employed on Saturday, Sun day, and yesterday, in carting off the grain, materials, &c., and as the weather has been dry the destruction of the produce will, probably, not be very great, though, doubt less, considerable from admixture with the rubbish. It is still a matter of uncertainty whether there are not some parties under the ruins in Moor-street—casually passing at the time ; but the probability seems to be, that but one man has lost his life. There were several narrow escapes —especially of a servant girl at Mr. Dodd's public-house, nearly opposite. who was shaking a carpet when the ava lanche took place—and two horses in a lorry who took fright at the crash, and got away. It is suggested that there should be appointed an in spector of warehouses, who shall determine what weight, particularly of grain, the several mercantile buildings are capable of sustaining, so that such accidents may not recur. At the request of the mayor, Mr. S. Holme was early on the ground, and speedily got his men to shore up the insecure wall standing in the Old Ropery. A very perilous piece of wall left at the south corner of the warehouse was also pulled down by them on Saturday afternoon. A great number of men continue to be em ployed in extracting the flour, wheat, pease, &c., from the ruins, and the ends of the streets leading to the scene of destruction are still crowded with anxious enquirers. The ruins are yet upwards of 12 feet high in Moor-street, although a large quantity of stuff has been taken away. Up to dark last night when the men gave over working, the body of the supposed only man killed had not been found; and from the immense mass of materials, it may be some time before the remains are found. Parts of the upper floors at the Old Ropery end are left standing, still supporting tiers of flour barrels. EARLY CLOSING OF THE MARKETS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,-It is with great pleasure I have been informed that the Markets' Committee, having had the memorial for the earlier closing of the markets under their consi deration, have kindly passed a resolution recom mending to the Council that they should be closed at seven o'clock, the first five nights of the business week, and on Saturday evening at ten o'clock, thus dividing the difference between the wishes of the memorialists and the present time of closing, which it is hoped will be pleasing to the public. Too much praise cannot be given them for the promptness they have evinced in doing away this great evil, which has been the cause of such a desecration of the Sabbath. . . It is understood, however, that a petition the last few days has been got up against the closing on Saturday nights, but I would strongly urge upon the members of the Council the necessity of protesting against it, and support the resolution of the Markets' Committee, which will be the means of lessening the disorder in the neigh bourhood of the markets, and will cause the shops to have no excuse for keeping open until twelve o'clock at night, which they at present do, thus necessarily encroach ing on the Sabbath before they leave the premises. Trusting you will give this a place in y our va l ua ble paper, I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, AN ADVOCATE FOR EARLY CLOSING. Liverpool, 31s/ January, 1846. TIIE AIILIT James Graham stated in 1. Commons, that at present ther itention of ca ing out the militia ; the only step contemplat , d by govern ment being to submit to the consideration of parliament added, that - undtr the presnii law the government could call out the militia at a fortnight's notice. and the bcoks thrown out We then too mongs the poorest people, which we continued to occupy wit interruption until last Sunday week. I bad permissior from one of my tenants, Mr. Sherrington, to use his bench. Last Sundny, on entering the chapel, Robert Walmsley was standing at the left hand aisle, with a very large pole, as thick as a man's arm, and apparently new made. Vi hen Mrs. Eastwood got up he placed the pole across the aisle. She said, " Pray - let me pass." He said, " No, you must not." She then tried to enter, but he pressed her back with the pole. I asked by whose orders he stopped up the passage; he said, " by Mr. Smith's" (the priest). I asked to pass, he refused, and 1 attempted, but he pushed me back with the pole. Mr. Eastwood then related the facts that occurred at aisle No. 2, where similar obstructions were offered and added, that on looking down the chapel he saw the vestry door was open, and Mr. Croft standing in his vestments prepared to say mass, and another person, whom he took to be Mr. Smith, both looking on. They then went to the gallery stairs, where Atkinson pushed back both Mr. Eastwood and his son ; and then on the opposite stairs, where Worden be haved in like manner to Mr. Eastwood rather rudely. They then went to the children's platform, which was not now occupied, it being early mass, and the children attend. ing only at high mass. On Mrs. E. ascending the plat formthe platform, as stated by Mr. xftde Catterall.hoi E:recopera thateyttshtwo, 00, Eastwood nor not. she was met by Thomas Walmsley, who pushed her back with a plate with so much violence, that had she not been supported by witness she would have fallen back on the flags. Thos. Walmsley and Worden pushed her with poles. Mr. E. then confirmed what took place further on one penny persons pl de saidbenches tenhs Heard t oo h etnmfar a oi rtwi tribune, k gi ttni I hhete r hoee: tp .187 and eiedleaanbsfttttelheencgary benches give h,hae s bear s seodd - u e asdg x tt cro ss- examination, m weatnnro i wol n ymtes a rk t mue i r t o n.: po n dssewsa , nmywnw M si would before whether accommodation. The priests had got enough of his mo ney without paying pennies. A long discussion ensued betwixt the attorneys and the bench, as to whether the Catholic priest possessed the power of making a charge for sittings in his chapel, and of excluding from those sittings parties who refuse to pay. The whole question appeared to resolve itself into this point, Mr. Noble (defendant's solicitor) declaring that if the priest had this power—which he maintained he had — then Mr. E istwood himself was the aggressor in attempt ing to remove the obstructions to a gratuitous entrance which had been legally placed there, and he contended that in repulsing Mr. and Mrs. Eastwood the defendants had only acted in the discharge of their duty, and had commited no assault whatever. Mr. Catterall, (Mr. Eastwood's solicitor) on the other hand, maintained that the priest had no such power, and that in violently pre venting Mr. Eastwood's access to the chapel accommoda tion, they had, in fact, committed a breach of the peace. The Bench then declared that until this legal question was made clear they would decline adjudicating in the case, and would refer it to the next sessions, in the mean time binding over the defendants to keep the peace. The two Walmsleys then entered into their own recognizances for £2O each, and the Rev. Mr. Smith was accepted surety for the others in the amount of £lO each. [Most of our readers will remember that Mr. East wood's name has been often before the public, in connec tion with legal disputes affecting property which Mr. E. alleged several Romish ecclesiastics have become possessed of, in violation of his (Mr. E.'s) just claims.] STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE PAST QUARTER. (From the Quarterly Table of Mortality.) The quarterly returns are obtained from 115 districts, sub-divided into 576 sub-districts. Thirty-four districts are placed under the metropolis, an.] the remaining 8i districts comprise, with some agricultural districts, the principal towns and cities of England. The population was 6,579,693 in 1841. The mortality in the last quarter of 1845 was much lower than is usual, for only 39,178 deaths were regis tered, which is less by 14,740 than the number (43,918) registered in the corresponding quarter of 1814, and and 2,857 less than the average quarter of seven previous years, notwithstanding the increase of the pc, teation at the rate of about 1.74 per cent annually. There had been a great decrease in the mortality; the December quarter of 1844 giving the number of deaths at 43.918, whilst last quarter there was only 39,178 deaths. The mildness of the season was one cause of di minished mortality. This is illustrated by the table of the deaths, exclusive of those by violence, registered in the metropolis, and the mean temperature at Greenwich of the last six weeks of 1844 and 1845. The deaths and the temperature were the same at first; on the fifth week the deaths were 1,343 in 1844, and only 933 in 1845 • the temperatnre in the previous week (the fourth) had fallen to 28 deg. 2 min. in 1844, and only to 39 deg. 2 min. in 1845. A fall of the mean temperature of the air from 45 deg. to 4 deg. or 5 deg. below the freezing point (32 deg.) of water destroys from 306 to 500 lives in the metropolis. It produces the same results on a larger scale all over the country. Nor is it to be wonderei at that a great change of the heat of the air which we breathe and live in should have such an effect. The deaths returned by the registrars for each year are thus given :—Deaths registered in 115 districts in the year 1838, 162,867; 1839, 162,605; 1840, 171,694; 1841,160,733; 1842, 161,948 ; 1843, 163,201; 1844, 167,708; 1845, 165,789. In the first three years there were 497,166 'deaths; in the last three years, 496,698. The population increased in the districts from which returns have been procured, about 1 74 (nearly li) per cent. annually, in the intervals of the last censuses, and the excess of births over deaths has continued, so that it may be safely assumed that the numbers living have gone on increasing at the same rate — about 9 per cent in the five years, from the middle of 1839-40 to the middle of 1843-b. Now. the deaths, in stead of increasing with the population 9 per cent, and consequently amounting to 541,960 in the last three years were 496,691—1e5s by 45,262 than if the rate of mortality -hid: prevailed in the three years 1838-40 had been sus tained.

The res sion the preacher spoke of as being fun of difficulty. Blessed as the office was, still experience showed it to be full of peril, and only to he sought with repentance and mortification by those who are se , king to live to God. Sin was awful to handle, it was difficult to hear and not be denied. They must keep jealous watch over themselves, framing themselves with discipline, taking care not to be blind leaders of the blind. The power of the keys was not new doctrine, nor had it ever been wholly disused by the Church, although much over laid during the last century. Its revival had originate& not in the agency of man, but in penitents, who tad re ceived gifts of grace, not front man, but from the Lord, through his Holy Sacrament. Dr. Pusey then called the attention of those who were tutors in the colleges to the opportunities they had, and the Outies of their station, acting in the place of parents and guardians, in the bles sings they might thus eon'er on their pupils. The above is a brief outline of the sermon, which occu pied nearly an hour and a half in delivery. It was remarked that in the bidding prayer before the sermon, Dr. Pusey varied the usual e%prest•ion, " let us pray for that ' pure and apostolical' branch of the church to which we belong," into struply "that branch," omit ting the laudatory epithe s. o a Lu t u gAh r d co a cr y l ,DtahNeTli— Lichfield,o y n. ew l - i a : iti L. ehrodau yt 111; 0 ) set forenoon, n n w opposition. nn, a Seaman, the F O A b n T or S A native of Spain, fell from the yard-arm of the ship to which he belonged, lying in the King's Dock, and was so much injured that be died in about tw o hours afterwards.

Rushton and Hornby was occupied in hearing the adj-urnel ikquiry of a case arising out of an information which had been laid by Mr. Crarey, one of the building surveyors. The charge was, that a partition wall in the iptui.c of Mr. Birchenough, of the Royal Railway Hotel, Lime-street had been removed in a r nrr cr , n•rary to mate in such cases required.. The evidence of Crivey went to show that the wall in question had been taken down with out his consent, and contrary to the act. The testimony on the other side was to the rffect that he (Mr. Crarey) had been consulted in the matter, and pot•itiveiy given his consent to the alterations being made. The defendant was acquitted. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. — The second course , of lectures at this Institution for the present season com menced on Friday. The suhject is elecution, including remarks and examples illustrative of oratory, po,t , y, and the drama; and the lecsnrer is R. H. Smart, Esq., of London, author of " Winker Remodelled," " Shake.. perian Readings," " Practice of Illocution," &c. In saying this, we say sufficient to assure our readers that the course will be in the highest degree itoerestis g and , instructive. Those who were present on Friday evening need no such assurance, nor any additional inducement to hear the remainder of the c.urse. The opening lecture was chiefly occupied with an ex planation of the nature and uses of elocution, with iliustr &ores. serious and comic, of the various styles of reading. E o •ution, the lecturer observed, when properly understood and taught, was in reality an important past of education. It was not the art of acting, or even of public speaking exclusively - I it was not the art of reading wish a pomp us and theatrical manner. It was calculated to make all the other parts of education produce their proper effect on the mind. He fben explained the nature of language, showing that artieu- IStion and modulation were necessary to its perfection; and - divided the modes of reading into the mechanical, the sig nificant, and the impassioned, these being all separate and distinct from acting. M echanical reading was what a child was first taught, and was similar to the style in which a person would read a passage, who had the same passage open before him, a simple enui.ciatinn of the words without any view to effect. In significant reading the object of the reader was to convey the sense of the words, not to ex press a meaning of his own, but merely to tell what the author said. This was reading strictly so called, and re quired modulation of voice to do it properly. The full expression of a passage must, however, rise beyond this. The reader must adopt the sentiments of the author; be must make them his own for the time, and deliver thrin with all the warmth and earnestness they might happen to require. To act a passage the reader must take up another person's manner ; he moat suppose himself to he the per son into whose mouth the lines are put. In illnstratfon of these distinctions the lecturer' cited the well.kno*n passage from Hamlet, containing Polonius% advice to his son. His different modes of reciting it afforded an ad mirable exemplification of his remarks; and, in finally assuming, in its delivery, the character aed tones of thn superannuated chamber'ain, Isis excf lleht mimicry took the audience completely by snrpr - se and drew (lows' thun ders of applause. Acting, however, Mr. Sm art observed, was no necessary part of elocution as a branch of etluca that this slrs .ould be clearly o inhoasumghutchit as the confounding of the two had educa tion. too li fi, e been the means o unfavonrable to t variety c chiefl citattons z should I Shre life. 1(1 to t 1 irrinat Foie, 11 Th , le.- of tAo to the in which t
