PROSPECTUS HE .object of this Company is to construct a Line T of Railway between Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport. The accommodation proposed to be thus given has long been desired, but the difficulty of obtaining a convenient entrance into Liverpool has until lately proved an insurmountable ob stacle. This difficulty the Liverpool and Bury Railway, now in course of construction, affords the means of overcoming, it being proposed by the present scheme to make use of that line for nearly a mile and a half out of Liverpool, and thence pro ceed, by way .of Bootle. Seaforth, Waterloo, Crosby, and along the coast, through Formby, to Southport, affording to those Places anti the adjacent farm districts a cheap and speedy Means of communication with Liverpool. On the other hand, the benefits to the over-crowded population of Liverpool in a sa, nitory point of view, by giving ready access to the rapidly tncreasing Bathing Places along the coast, the district of Cros ki, and the much=frequented and salubrious watering place of — "thPort, as well as throwinc , open the intermediate country .or "thmaetd Purposes of Villas andlicsidences, cannot well be over- The undertaking is promoted by the principal Landowners end other parties locally interested. The Line is about sixteen miles in length, and,. being nearly rel. is entirely free from engineering difficulties. A consi raple part of the land between Crosby and Southport, over W._lllcli it will pass, haa.already been given by the landowners, d the cost of construction will be unusually small. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of parliament to the amount of his subscription, and power will „PPlied for i n the Bill to allow interest at .E 4 per cent. on all from the passing of the Act until the opening of the Line. __•Applications for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, 1 , 1 or before the 6th of November next, to the Solicitors, or to t u Pf . the following Sharebrokers;—Messrs.

To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless thew case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to bose who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and brings ruin on families.

SATURDAY MORNINC The depression in the price of Consols which we have bad occasion. to remark for some weeks past, bas not in any degree recovered during the present week; the market has generally been flat, though other securities have shown increased activity. Consols opened on Mon day at 944 to 5 for money, and 954 to for the November account. At those figures they remained, with scarcely any difference, until Wednesday, when they dropped an eighth, marking 941 to s money, and 95 to account. On Thursday another fall of one-eighth was experienced, Consols for money being done in the course of the day at 9-11 to 1. Yesterday, however, towards the close of bu siness, an improvement took place, and prices left off for money at 944 to 5, and for the account 954 to 4. Money continues obtainable on easy terms, but we are sorry to announce a failure which occasioned considerable surprise. As the name has already appeared in print, we may mention that the well-established firm of Jeremiah Harman and Co., has stopped payment. No particulars have yet transpired, but it is presumed their liabilities must be to a considerable extent . India Stock has been done a little lower, 258 to 259 ; Bank Stock continues at 2054 to 2064_; Exchequer Bills are 10s. premium. Ncw Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 951. The foreign funds have been flat, affairs being in much too unsettled a state, with respect to some of the princi pal stocks, to allow of much speculation. Spanish has been nearly stationary, though perhaps with an upward tendency. Three per Cents. have been done at 374 to 4, and Active Bonds at 264 to 4. The revolution in Portu gal has had little effect on prices ; more confidence is, however, felt in the new Ministry, and the Four per Cents. are quoted at 414 to 421, Mexican Stock is 221 to 23; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 581 to 594; Bel gian Four-and _a-Half are 97. . . - The Share Market has been much bette attended this week than for some time past, &id prices e improved. iv Buyers have come forward freely, and fo ood descrip tions of stock the demand has been active and liberal. This improvement is the more remarkable when con trasted with the flatness of the Consol Market. It may possibly indicate returning confidence in railway property, and show a reviving disposition to investment in sound, lines rather than in the funds, For North British the de mand has been lively at higher rates, it having transpired that a treaty was in progress for a lease of that line to Mr. Hudson. It is understood that he guaranteed interest on the capital of seven and a half - per cent. The-e terms, however. the company have refused, and fur the present the negotiation is at an end. There has been a great dis position shown to purchase Oxford and Birmingham shares, as there is a probability of a severe contest be tween the Great Western and North-Western Companies for the working of that line. It is thought, tberefcre, that very favourable terms may be obtained, and prices have risen on that supposition. A rumour prevails that the Great Western have offered a guarantee of eight per cent., and that the offer has been accepted. An arrange ment, mutually satisfactory, has been completed between the Great Western and South Wales Companies. The terms are correctly given by a contemporary : "The Great Western guarantee to the South Wales five per cent. upon the full amount of the capital of £3,000,000 of shares, and, if necessary, to complete the works, Upon an additional £1,000,000 of debenturers ; the guarantee to commence from the opening of the entire line, which will be worked by the Great Western Com pany, thus giving the benefit of the plant and staff of the Great Western Company, and avoiding the expense of a separate establishment. After the lapse of five years from the opening of the line the Great Western are to allow the South Wales (over and above the five per cent. guaranteed) one half of the surplus profit which may accrue beyond the said five per cent. After a further period of five years—that is, ten years from the opening of the entire line—the Great Western will amalgamate with the South Wales, upon the basis of their respective traffics, and in exact proportion thereto. By this it will be seen that in the lapse of ten years the South Wales will get the full benefit of their traffic in this amalgama tion, and in the meanwhile its full development will be carried out by the 'Great Western Company. Interest at the rate of four per cent. is to be allowed on calls during the progress of the works." _ _ The North-Western, it is understood, has made an agreement with the Shropshire Union, on the basis that the dividend on the shares of the latter shall be one•half of those paid on the former. Other advantages are af forded, which render the arrangenient, on the whole, fa vourable to the Shropshire Union. Speculation seems much directed to corn at present, and we believe it is dealt in to a large extent. Prices Continue to advance, though not with rapidity. The London averages for the week are GBs. sd. for wheat, and 42.. Sd. for barley. The weekly average for the kingdom is 595. 10d. Moderate quantities of grain only are uow received ; but, from the orders sent out to purchase, we may anticipate considerable arrivals in the spring. Not withstanding the general cry for opening the porta, it is not thought likely that Lord John Russell will take on himself the responsibility of setting aside an act of par liament so deliberately passed by the legislature, espe. cially as the duty is now only 4s. per quarter. SATURDAY EVENING Public Securities were not so firm to-day as in the lat ter part of yesterday, but there was but little actual busi ness done at lower quotations. Indeed the short hours on Saturday have made it almost a dies non for business in the stocks. as was intended, except when there is a probability of a fluctuation in prices. Consols were done for money at 91/ and 95. and for amount at 95k; Reduced Three per Cents, at 9' and ; the'Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 951 and 1; and Eiteheq'ner Bills 13 16 pm. COMMITMENT FOR TRIAL.—At the Police-court, yes terday, two young women, Mary Wilcock and Mary Ann Taylor, were charged with having stolen, on Saturday afternoon, a shawl from the shop of Mr. lnes. No. 60, Titbebarn-street. They priced some shawls. and one of the lot being missed, they were suspected, and the artije was found in Taylor's basket, who, it was said, was to be married on Sunday. They were both committed for trial at the present sessions. _ _ _ THE GREAT BRITAIN.--Captain Hosken has pub lished a letter exculpatory of himself, and giving an ac count of the loss of his ship, the same in all material points as Captain Claxton's report. The owners are making preparations for the wintering of the vessel on the beach. A fender of woodwork is to be made to de fend the ship's quarter, and a small floating breakwater will be construct e d t o guar d h er f rom h eavy seas . Th e directors of the company have published a minute, in which they say, " With respect to the occurrences which preceded the stranding of the unfortunate ship, as explained now by Captain Hosken and by the report of Captain Ciazton to the secretary, the directors are of opinion that the ship was stranded in consequence of an error in judgment, into which it appears her captain was betrayed, through the omission of a notice of St. John's Light in the chart of this year, by which he was navigat ing, and of the want of knowledge on his part of such a light being established,—it being to the directors obvious that, had the light been laid, Captain Hosken would have known that the judgment which led him at eight o'clock to put his snip in theproper course for the North Channel ought to have been persevered in." They conclude by appealing to all shipowners and assurance companies to make an effort to secure greater correctness in the Ad miralty charts. HATTER'S GRAND HISTORICAL PICTURE OF THE CHRISTENING OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES.—We have seen, and much admired, several of the " Royal" (and it may be added " Historical ") paintings executed by Sir George Haver, but none, either by that distinguished master or any of his contempora ries, an inspection of which (at Mr. Grundy's Repo sitory, Church-street,) afforded us so much delight, or impressed us with so high an' estimation of the masterly conception and extraordinary powers of elaborate execu tion possessed by this, we may almost say, " prince of modern limners." This original picture is of large size— about 10 feet by 6—and contains no fewer than forty-nine portraits of the most distinguished individuals in the land, the whole of them admitted to be striking likenesses, including no fewer than thirty persons not introduced in any former picture, and grouped in a manner so highly effective, and so natural, as to leave the spectator in no doubt as to the verisimilitude of the interesting scene. The figures are all (the august ceremony then going on) in standing posture, and most of them seen in full length. The portrait of the Queen in the centre is properly the most prominent and attractive, and is stated to be the most beautiful and correct yet produced. Such is the minuteness and " miniature" delicacy'of figure that it becomes improved by the application of a powerful mag nifying glass, the features, figure and elegant drapery with its rich ariornments,becorning all but real life and texture. The same may be said of all the other portraits, especi ally that of the Archbishop of Canterbury who holds the royal infant on his arm while he inducts it into the Chris tian fold ; that of the Right Hon. Shaw Le Fevre, of the King of Prussia, the Duk e o f C am b r id ge, the uke of Sussex, Sir R. Peel, (in the attire of a privy councillor, and highly approved by his family,) the Duchesses ol Cambridge and Kent, the Duchess of Northumberland --a beautiful likeness of a beautiful personage,—the Duchess of Sutherland, the three Princes, sons of the Duke of Saxe Coburg, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Mar quis of Anglesea, Sir J. Graham and many more. The apartment, St. George's Chapel, Windsor, is also a fine specimen of architectural painting, showing the fine oak carving in every detail. The infant Prince, too, is finely portrayed. The picture was painted for her Majesty, as a companion to the Royal marriage —now in Windsor Castle—and as it is to be engraved by Grestbach, the en graver of the Waterloo banquet, in the finest style of th e art, those desirous of possessing copies to add to their collections would do well to become early subscribers in order to secure the choicest copies. 3Fr.liChard Simm. clerk of St. Bride's Church, and late master of the Welsh Charity School, has commenced the business of eltate agent.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY LEAGUE TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sta,—l hasten to correct (so that the correction may follow at the proper time, io the same channel) an error of your " reporter", in stating that " a coloured man arose and denied the truth of Mr. Douglass' statements." As a response to Mr. Douglass' interrogatory, " Is there an American present ?" I replied, " Yes. And as a co loured man, and a native of a slave state, I would add my testimony to the truth of all that he (Mr. D.) had stated ; and that he had not told one millionth part of the truth !" I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, J. R. BAILEY. Temperance Hotel, Clayton-square, October 20th, 1846. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SIR,-At a time when so much is being done for the advancement of evangelical religion throughout the country, and when the subject of Episcopacy is occupying the attention of many minds deeply interested in the wel fare of the nation, I hope you will be able to insert the following hint, for the consideration of those well quali fied to judge and act in a matter of such importance to our beloved Protestant Church of England, viz., " Whether a bishop should not be appointed to every county in the kingdom ?" And why not have a bishop to each county as well as a sheriff? For, without instituting comparison, though their respective duties so materially differ, yet they are relatively of equal usefulness. Praying that all our bishops may indeed be men of God. and devoted to the feeding of Christ's flock. I remain, sir, yours respectfully, J. R. 26th October rlf our overnments did tt - suggestion would be acted on immediately.] ' -s- THE ANTI• SLAVERY LEAGUE & DR. BUNTING TO THE EDITOR 01THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. STR,—Ohserving aitatement in your paper yesterday, made by Mr. Frederick Douglass, at the late Anti-Slavery Meeting in the Concert-hall, to the effect, that a pro-sla very American bishop named Meade had written a letter was read to that conference by the Rev. Dr. Bunting, with a high eulogium on his character. I beg to inform you that a similar statement was made by Mr. George Thompson, at the anti-slavery meeting recently held in Manchester, and that a letter from Dr. Bunting, of which the following is a copy, appears in the Manchester Guardian of this day, totally and unequivocally denying the statement: Whatever your views as to the proceedings of the Alli ance; with reference to the question of slavery, may be, you will at once see the justice of inserting Dr. Bunting's letter in your papr, seeing that you have been unde signedly the means of circulating an unfounded statement, calculated to injure the reputation of a deservedly popular minister of the Gospel, and one wbo lives in the affections of multitudes of your readers, and of the inhabitants of Manchester and Liverpool generally. Should Dr. Bunting's letter, through the medium of your paper, or by any other means, atttact the notice of Mr. Thompson and his friends, they will also see the pro priety of proving their assertion, or of ceasing to reiterate what is manifestly untrue. I remain, sir, Your most obedient servant, JOSEPH RIPPON Manchester, October 21, 1846, (C 0 P 1 .) TO THE EDITOR OP THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. SIR,—In your paper of October 14th, I find a report of certain speeches delivered at an anti-slavery meeting in Manchester, in one of which Mr. George Thompson is stated to have publicly affirmed, in connection with the reading of some extracts from szrmons said to have been published by Bishop Meade, of Virginia, that " This clergyman wrote a letter to the Evangelical Alliance, which was read, with great eulogium on his character, by the Rev. Dr. Bunting." You will much oblige me by giving insertion in your journal to my brief, but explicit and absolute, denial of Mr. Thompson's assertion re specting me. I read no letter from Bishop Meade, (whom, indeed, I have not the honour of knowing,) nor, as far as I can recollect, from any other person. On various other statements contained in the speeches above-mentioned, and intended to cast odium on the Evangelical Alliance at large, I do not feel that I am called upon, individually, to animadvert. The members of that body are well able - to defend themselves and their cause from such attacks. 1 limit my remarks to the untrue and injurious insinua tion against myself, implied in Mr. Thompson's speech ; and am, sir, yours very respectfully, (Signed) JABEZ BUNTING. October 20th, 1816. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD SlR—The Wednesday evening service at St. Andrew's church is discontinued, and in lieu thereof a morning ser vice at half-past ten o'clock appointed. This arrange ment is likely to prove more convenient to many of the congregation, while those who are in the habit of attend ing in the evening will not be greatly disappointed as there are now so many churches in the neighbourhood, and at a distance open for week-day evening service. This desi deratum has been much wanted in Liverpool, as I know of no church open for week days' morning service except St. Catherine's where prayers are read every Wednesday morning at 9. I augur the attendance at St. Andrew's on the Wednesday morning will be very good, as I shall not be surprised if many besides, not of St. Andrew's con gregation avail themselves of the proposed service, and I think it a fitting opportunity for a course of lectures by different clergymen. In alluding to other churches being open for week day service I may mention St. Mark's, St. .James's, James's St. Barnabas, St. Saviour' s , Sr. Luke's, St. John's, St. Silas, St. Clements, St. Jude's, St. Augus tine's and others more di. tent. Your's truly, A CHURCHMAN. Oct. 2Gth Mr. W. P. Freme, late alderman, has come forward as the reform candidate for Great George ward. THE DEAF AND DUMB.—On Sunday morning last, above £36 were collected at St.'Philip's Church. after a sermon, by the Rev. R. L. Townsend, in aid of the funds of the School for the Deaf and Dumb. We are sorry to learn that the annual subscribers have fallen off lately, by death, removal, &c. ; but we are persuaded the fact only requires to be m ntioned, in order to induce others to supply their places. A single visit to the school will prove the value of that excellent institution. TAR COUNCIL.—At the special meeting of the Council to he held to-morrow, the following reports will be sub mitted for consideration —The report of the special committee appointed on the 4th of March last, to take into consideration a general comprehensive plan for the improvement of the municipal borough ; the report of the special committee appointed on the 24th of August last, to make the necessary preparations for carrying out the several prooitions of the Sanatory Act, and to take all necessary steps for securing an adequate supply of water to the borough ; and the report of the special committee appointed on the 19th May last to make the necessary arrangements for the reception of Prince Albert. At the tenth annual meeting of the Liverpool Church of England Society, held at the Blue School on Friday, the Rev. Rector Campbell presided. The report announced the resignation of R. L. Carr, Esq , the treasurer; and it appeared that there was a balance on the year in favour of the institution of £4olos. 10d. Last year there was a balance on the wrong side of the ledger of £94, so that there was still an excess of expenditure over the receipts. It was stated that the church collections this year yielded £lOO more than last ; but there had been a falling off in the amount of children's pence. The total number of scholars was stated at 2154. 'A resolution was passed thanking those clergymen who had kindly preached for the society, and earnestly requesting them to continue their assistance. EVERTON AND KIRRDALE WARD.—A public meeting of the friends of Willia►n Atherton, Esq., who again offers himself for this ward at the ensuing election. was held on Thursday evening, at the Salutation Hotel, Great Homer street. Notwithstanding the tempestuous weather, a considerable number of the electors appeared ; amongst them were Thomas 13. Horsfall, Esq., Francis Shand, Esq., C. S. Middleton, Esq., George Kerferd, Esq., Thomas Carson, Esq., and other influential inhabitants of the ward. C. S. Middleton, Esq., was called to the chair, when resolutions approving of Mr. itherton's i conduct as one of the councillors of the ward since his election, in 1844, and expressive of the confidence of the meeting, were passed unanimously. A committee was then appointed for the purl ose of taking the necessary steps for securing Mr. Atherton's re•election. IMPORTANT DECISION AFFECTING THE MASTER PORTERS.—A case of some importance to the master porters came before Mr. Rushton on Friday. Messrs. Lee and Co., merchants, appeared to an information, laid by Edward Perry M'Knight, a master porter, for an alleged infringement of the local act. It appeared that the brig Sylph arrived at George's Dock from Cadiz, laden with wine and madder, on the 17th inst. A cooper from Messrs. Lee's came down to the dock, and when the casks. about twenty, which belonged to his employers were landed, he began to take off the cases, and to de scribe and mark the wine. Mr. M'Knight, interpreting this into an infringement on the right of the master por ters, remonstrated with the man ; but this and a subse quent application to Messrs. Lee not being attended with such a result as be desired, the complainant brought the case into court. Mr. Rushton decided that a merchant had a right to employ his own cooper for such a purpose as that for which the man in the present case bad been employed. He bad neither received, weighed. nor loaded goods. The case was dismissed. EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE.—There is now con structing in Northumberland -str ee t. T ox t et h P ar k, a strange machine, over which £2OO have been expended already ; the purpose for which it is intended is yet quite a secret. It is so far built of pine planks, and is 120 feet long and 36 feet in circumference at the broadest part. The propelling power is veiled in mystery, but will be constructed at the stern. At the bow end a small ante room is to be neatly fitted up with a sofa ends large look ing-glass in a glass door. This room, in addition to the light which it will receive from the door, will be lighted by a window at the top, which is also to serve as a look out. At one side of 'the room there is a small staircase leading from what we believe will be the public saloon (which it is said will accommodate upwards of 1 , 10 per sonsl to the look .out. The large room will be lighted by panes of thick glass, nd will also be fitted up in an elegant and tasteful style. The machine is sufficiently large to admit of persona standing upright in both apartments.-- The time stated for its completion is three years, twelve months of which have already elapsed. A contemporary says it is to navigate the air. ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND CALCUTIn MAIL. (From yesterday's Herald.) . The Indian mail of the 15th September, j ust received is barre n o f i nte lli gence o f an exciting nature, but . cheeri ng as to t h e state of t h e country in general.

It had been stated, as was thought by authority, that Lord Hardinge had resolved on re maining at his post to watch and direct the working of his recent policy; as he would scorn to bequeath a difficulty of his mpking to the hands of a Whig successor after'he had reaped the laurels bestowed by his countr" - success.

It appeared that She bad been attended by a midwife, that the child had been born alive, and bad been well attended to, but was seized with convulsions, which continued until its death. The surgeon who examined the body could not account for death. Verdict—" Found dead in the churchyard, but the cause of death unknown." PURIFICATION or GAS.—Mr; Johnston's patent for the abscription of the ammoniacal, hydro-sulphuric, and hydro-cyanic vapours, by means of sulphate of iron, in the dry way, or with barely sufficient moisture for the water of crystallization necessary in the interchange and formation of the salts, has been tried at the Horseferry road station of the Chartered Gas Company. Besides the purification, and the saving of 30 per cent. of lime (at the greater, though redeemed expence, of sulphate of iron, we presume) by this new mode of treatment, other alleged advantages, consequent on its adoption, are reduc tion of the gross pressure of the liquid mode by 40 to 50 per cent., and the equivalent diminution of the consequent loss ; besides the acquisition of the valuable products.— The Builder. a.

At a quarter to one was abreast violence, till it blew a perfect hurricane. Off the Ormes head at half-pas - four, when the gale ' if anythin g , increas ed, and the sea was terrifi c , equa l, is the opinion of a fellow passenger (a nautical man), to any in the Atlantic. Stil this beautiful, and as she has proved herself, hard weather boat, battled with the wind and waves most gal lantly, riding like a duck over seas that must have swamped a small e r and less powerful boat. And though she had to go round Puffin island, through the Sound, and being then dark, went up the straits at half speed, completing her passage to the Bridge in eight hours; a passage un equalled when the severity of the gale is considered. To show, which it need only be mentioned, that on that day the Mersey steamer put back to Liverpool, and the Queen Victoria to the Menai Bridge, through stress of weather; both being powerful boats, bound to Dublin. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the vessel's commander, Capt. Warren, for the seamanlik e manner i n which the vessel was managed, and his attention to the passengers. SUDDEN DEATH ON BOARD CLlP.—Yesterday an inquest was held before the borough coroner, on view of the body of Patrick Coyle, an apprentice on board the schooner Jane Emily Hudson, now lying in the George's dock. On Sunday morning deceased took his breakfast on board, and afterwards washed the tea-things. He then appeared to be quite well, and did not complain of any_ thing ailing him. In about an hour afterwards, he was found lying on his back, close to the combings of the after hatchway, and quite insensible. He,died in about a quarter of an hour afterwards. Mr. Thomas Bradshaw, surgeon, made a post mortem examination, and stated that death was caused by extensive disease of the heart, of considerable standing.—Verdict accordingly, " Death from natural causes." SEAMAN'S WAGES CASE.—At the Police-court, yes terday, Archibald Brown, second mate of the ship Duke of York, claimed a balance of wages alleged to be due to him for his services on a voyage recently completed from, incurred in 'another vessel, belonging to the same parties, C P on a previous voyage from Demerara to this port, th ro u g h appeared, pe back.sred, and urged ge r t o h n a d t fo a olta, loss com manderwas t f o t the teasel,lcutta and the careless stowage of part of the cargo by the a p p li can t, thisport o and that the sum claimed had been struck off as a set c ff for this loss. It was ruled, however, by the bench that this matter ought to have been brought forward and set tled when the first vessel arrived, and that no deduction the voyage in one ship for loss or deficiency that had of wages could be made from a seaman who h a d p er f orme d arisen in another. The captain had therefore to pay the balance claimed—n,mely, £l7 9s.
