The subjects descanted upon were various, and comprised reh ninn mPtlieine. finance, education, besides many matters of a - miscellaneous c On one or tv iheworthy orator left more elevated themes Dceasion: ad exercise( his exalted genius on the common topics of oakum and iron bedsteads. The meeting lasted about two hours, and as a portion of the time was occupied 'by other speakers, though less gifted with the eaeoethes loquendi than the indefatigable member alluded to, it is•cvldent that he must have made ample use of his opportunities for oratorical display. Few if any of the most practised parliamentary debaters could boast the formidable total of 115 orations delivered within such a brief space of time. Such an eiTort in this age of progress may•not unaptly be termed "rail way oratory." The following is a: tabulated statement of the speeches of the worthy member :- 1' Oakum Finance Workhouse proceedings, whic► included the subjects of medical rel►ef, bad bread, &c Industrial Schools Miscellaneous Mercury, NEW PUBLIC MEETING ROC.IIB.—A very neat building has just been erected in ilackin's-hey, which has had the effect of materially improving the aspect of that street, and which is intended to supf3ly a deficiency that has been long felt. The builders are Messrs. Arthur and George , Holme, and the edifice, which is situate on the west side of the street, possesses, bobh externally and internally, considerable architectural attractions. The main object • of the promoters is to afford to - the various established cha ritable institutions of the tom) accommodation for hold ing meetings for the transae.iion of business. The build ing has a very spacious entrance, and four or five persons abreast may comfortably ascend the stairs. On the first floor there are four rooms, intended for offices, and which are so constructed that they may be let off sepa rately or together. Upon the second floor there is the principal room, intended for :public meetings, with a gal lery three-fourths round, -,- very neatly and comfortably fitted up, and well ventilated and lighted. Attioining this there is another room, suitdble for the meeting of any public body. There is also ,a large room on the third floor, suitable for a sale or sampling apartment, and in the construction of which a novelty has been introduced, that of having a clear northlight by means of windows similar to those that light cotton.weaving sheds, and upon the same principle that is adopted to light the indigo sale-room. in Mincing-lane, London. 'Water-closets and other con veniences are also ecmnecteil.with the building. Its im . mediate contiguity to the principal business of the town must render the edifice very - valuable to charitable societie and others. Docx COMUITTEP —The . weekly meeting was held on s.

Mr. Evans asked whether it might not afterwards give rise to a question of vested interest. The chairman .replied that the committeee would deal with it.—A letter .was read from Richard Smith, resigning his situation as one of the officers employed at th,e landing stage, and thanking the committee for their kindness during the many years he had been in their employ. The resigna tion was accepted, and it was referred to-the committee of works to fill up the vacancy. EDIJOAITION OF TUE POOR TIC LIVHAPOOL.—Yester aa, ; paper on this subject was read at Hull, by the Rev. Dr. Hume. It was introduced in the statistical sec - - P”itigh Association, and illustrated by a 4L.IN we coloured niap ; of the borough, exhibiting the constituent portions of it, And also the ecclesiastical districts in the whole. The water commenced by stating that his atten tion had been directed to the subject by a benevolent mer chant in the town, who thought that sufficient provision was not made -for ;the education of the poor, nor -was that provision :in the places most requiring it. By making suitable additions Ito the population return of 1851, he estimated it to be 398,410 ; at present, in round umbers, 400,000. If two-thirds of these require, or, at least, accept aid in the education of their children, there are 266,666, varying from utter destitution up to the rank of a twell paid mechanic and small shopkeeper, who come under the designation" r," as used here. Of these, it has been found, from a special inquiry in the town, that 25 per cent. are of the educational age, or from 31 to 12. The demand 'in the whole town, therefore, is 66,666. To supply this, there is accommodation in church schools of a general kind, for about 3075 ; and for 16,390 more in district schools, which possess school buildings. These, with 1021 in temporary district schools, make the total accommoda tion in church schools 20,386. In the schools of protes tant dissenters it is found to be 4869 ; in Romanist schools, 6450 ; and in schools of a non-sectarian character, 3042. Thus the entire supply amounts only to 34,837, or little more than the half of the demand. He next referred to the position of the schools, showing that in the lowest portion of the parish, •containing the poorest and most degraded of the populatiOn, schools are few and far be tween, while in Everton, and others of the more fashiona ble outskirts, they are so common as almost to destroy the self-reliance of the lower portion in the middle classes. Of the accommodation in the district schools of the church, nearly a half is in the townships ; in the schools of pro testant dissenters there is accommodation for only 350 in the lower portion of the parish, with a perishing popula tion of 180,000; the Romanists are repeating the admitted errors of protestants by providing accommodation for 1000 pupils in Everton, the only part of the - town in which - the supply exceeds . the demand ; but happily th ose - o f a gene ral character, including the corporation schools, accommo date 2070 in the lowest part of the town. Comparing the entire school accommodation in the great divisions of the town with the number of poor i contained in them respec tively, the ratio is one t o five n the townships and upper portion of the parish, and one to fourteen in the town. Some i n t er esting suggestions were made respecting a remedy for these evils, and a greatly improved plan was pointed out for the support of education from year to year. The paper concluded with a comparison of Liverpool and New York, from which it appea r e d that Liverpool ab sorbed the destitute population of Ireland and other coun tries, While IS r ff Yoa abs9rbs, educates, and crane. country.

Maude for land taken mid-damage done at a charming place called Blawith Cot tage, commanding one of the most beautiful views possible • over Morecambe Bay. It kmmecessary to go into the particulars of the arbitration to which we referred;—to show how that some conscientiously believed and were - .relay to swear the railway -company ought to pay two or three thousands, while others were equally ready to swear the .company ought not to be- curled on for as many luta drells, so strangely are men's minds influenced by those -who engage them first ;—but there is one point of general interest involved which may he-msefully brought forward. The Ulverston and Lancaster Railway Company have power under their Act, and .by arrangement with the Duchy of Lancaster and the Office of Woods and Forests, to reclaim from the sea some *thousands of acres of land, cultivate, and sell it ' • and the reason urged for an increased amount by some who have soughtcompensation from the compisay was that they would thus be deprived of the •facilities of water-carriage for building materials and sup plies -end a noble sea view; that the nature of the property wonid,Fin fact, be wholly changed. The reply to this in disensSion was, that they were -not .About to do anything but *I t the Admiralty or the Crown. in some other shape could do at any time (the sands arsil.seashore belonging to the Crown), and, therefore, that no compensation could be enforced in that respect. If this argument be sound, and the Crown have the right thus to take away without com pensation a water frontage enjoyed immemorially, we shall one slay'fiad a company putting up •an embankment on the Brighton sands a quarter of a mile out, under an over looked clause in their Act, and reclaiming a new sea frontage without any compensation to -the owners of the three milesauined. The object of the proposed line from Ulverstow to Lancaster is a good one ; it will bring into operation Nis iron districts abont Furuess, and we would not, even if ue could, throw any obstacle in its way ; but an importait-enestion is here involved Which certainly ought to be set at rest. Our particular ,case was settled in two hours" by arrangement, after costly preparations for a fight.—The ; Builder. SELECT Vsazny.—The Rev. Rector Campbell presided at the usual fortnightly meeting of this body,an. Tuesday. A letter had beeri - 'received from Mr. Thomas Norris, district medical Otter, stating his willingness •to have the district of thelate Cripps added to his own. On this it had been resolved to rescind the resolution : passed at the last meeting, advertising for a person to fill the vacancy. There 'had been complaints at each ,s,f the weekly meetings of the committee since the last board day that there was some gritty substance in the bread. The admissions to the ,vagrant sheds last week had - been males, 494; females,-add ; children, 34; total, 769. There i were n the workhouse, on the 7th instant, 1,804 persons. There were of these 458,sick cases, 30 being of fever, and 51 of itch. A letter from. Mr. Sabel, complaining of the amount charged for attendance on some cholera patients sent by him to the hospital, was referred to the Finance Committee. In answer to an " indignant" speech of Mr. Moss relative to some grittiness in the bread, the Chairman said the fact ought to go out, that when tile sand was discovered in the bread the flour had been returned to the contractor, and good flour had been substituted. He gave a strong but quiet reproof to those of the vestry who, casting reflections on others for the want of humanity, tried to arrogate, by noisy professions, a .certain amount of credit to themselves. (This was greeted with applause.) From the proceedings of the Industrial Schools Committee, it appeared that, since the last board day, two boys and nine girls had been placed in service, and not less than eight boys had absconded. Mr. Hughes had again brought forward his motion in committee, that the number of children in kept up by draughts from the workhouse to the extent that the schools will accommodate. After some discussion, a letter from Mr. James Fleetwood, a Romanist priest, who attends the workhouse, was read, requesting that; as a resolution had been passed reflecting on his character and veracity, in reference to a pauper named John Grant, there might be a re -investigation of the circumstances. After some conversation it was agreed to grant the re quested re-investigation, and the following gentlemen, in addition to the chairman, churchwardens, and overseers, who act ex officio on all occasions, were nominated a special committee for the purpose :—Messrs. Moss, Bradley, Blain, Clarke, and Kitchen.—Mr. Hart announced the receipt of a printed • circular from the Poor Law B o ard, in reference to the Compulsory Vaccination Act, recently passed. It was agreed to refer it to the Workhouse Com mittee, that they might give the necessary instructions to the medical officers, &c.—A bill was submitted, showing that there was to be drawn from Her Majesty's Pay master-General the sum of £2,287 towards medical relief, the payment of schoolmasters, mistresses, &c.—Another communication was then submitted from the Poor Law Board, drawing attention to various maps and education books for the schools, stating the prices, and where they were to be had. Referred to the Industrial Schools' c9MMittee, The vestry then adjourned. iND GENE RAI LD ATTA William Hanover room, v hand by a rat lamed t: Le rat in escaping got jammec it was caught and killed.

The.evidence was principally as to monetary transact - km between the parties, and the statements of the witnesses were very conflicting. It transpired that Hughes was in the habit of lending money at the rate of forty per cent. ; that he was formerly the proprietor of a circus, and his clerk, Callow, previous to going into the money-lending ''business, was a tailor, though, according to Mr. Hughes, he did not make the dresses for the -etrestrian company. kin cross-examination, Callow stated that he had never been :threatened with dismissal from Mr. ,linghes's employ lkeeause of his "leniency" to the defendant.

Mr. Hartnup has observed the rate of 200 chronometers, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount to which they are-affeete - d by a change of temperature of 20 degrees, rising and lolling. He began by ascertaining the rate of the 200:chronometers at a temperature of GO degrees. He then placed 100 of them in a temperature of 40 degrees, and another 100 in a temperature iof 80 de grees, with the following results :,—On observing the rates of the 100 chronometers ,removed from a temperature of 60 to one of 40 degrees, he found that they were all affected by the change, though indifferent directions, and in very different degrees. Of the 100 there were 14 which g :fined more in 40 degrees .of :temperature than they had gained in 60 degrees; and 86 which lost more,_ - J unammous m favour of Liverpool. -.ssistant general secretary then expLiined that the precise time for holding the meeting at Liverpool could not by fixed then, as it was contingent on :local arrangements.

STRIFE OF WIGAN Couazus.—The fourteen days' notice given by the coal-miners of the Wigan district to their employers for an advance of " twopence to the shilling," or one-sixth more, has expired at all the tol ls to the demaxd, all 's refuse to greatest gain or increase in the.),-xte of any one of the - 100 chronometers was 15 seconds, whioli would have placed, a the men, numbering more than five thousand, will, there fore, be on strike. On Monday week the coal-proprietors ; and their agents held a meeting, and resolved to meet the notices of the men by direct intimations that if they were not withdrawn they would close their works on the 21st instant, and not employ any collier or drawer until the whole of the men returned to their employment. The employers held another meeting at the Royal Hotel, on Friday, and it was attended by the representatives of nineteen-twentieths of the coal trade of the district. Mr. William Peace, general manager of the extensive works of the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, presided. It was unanimously resolved to adhere to the determination come to at the last meeting, namely, an entire closing of the works from to-morrow, (Wednesday,) until the colliers should withdraw their demand. The masters will suffer great loss by the stoppage of the collieries, for many of them are under large contracts, and some, such as the Ince-hall Coal and Cannel Company, pay a heavy annual rent, besides having an immense plant and rolling stock, which will be thrown out of use. Nevertheless, they are of opinion it is necessary to check the spirit which has animated the men. It is said that since the first advance of wages, given in May, the colliers have not earned more than before, because they have sent less coal up the pit; and it is thought that by thus s tintin g the supply they aimed at raising the price. There is no stock of coal on hand, and it is feared that some of the Wigan factories will soon be compelled to stop . for want of fuel. Already h ouse keepers complain of a d i fficulty in obtaining their usual supply of coal. The export coal trade of Liverpool will also sutler severely, and it is thought that the check given to this rising branch of the commerce of our port will have the effect of driving . some portion of it elsewh ere . The St. Helen's coal-field will be unable to meet the ex traordinary demand. There is also a threatened strike of factory operatives in Wigan. The card-room " hand s ' , have just given fourteen days' notice for an advance of 2s. per week to strippers and grinders, and blowing-room jobbers, and ls. per week to other card-room operatives. Tile throstle-spinners held a meeting atthe Commercial hail on Friday, and it was unanimously resolved to ask then. employers for an advance of ten7per cent, upon their wages. vessel 34 miles wrong in her for each day; the greitest loss was 72 seconds, which would have placed a vessel relying on it 18 miles wrong in longitude each day. The average change of rate, from this reduction of 20 de grees of temperature, was 7 seconds, or i miles of longi tude per day, a difference which, when multiplied by ten or twenty days, might produce most serious, indeed, fatal results, especially to a vessel running before the wind at night. On examining the change of rate in the 100 chronometers more minutely, it was found that the 10 which changed their rate least with a change of 20 degrees of temperature, changed only 1 second, or 4 mile in longi tude, whilst the 10 which changed most changed 31 seconds, representing eight miles a day in a ship's longi tude. The results produced on the 100 chronometers changed from a temperature of 60 degrees to another of 80 degrees were also very remarkable, and especially im portant to vessels sailing from England to the southern states of America, to the West or East Indies, South America, Africa, and Australia, or to other countries of higher temperature than England. The average change of rate (generally losing more) from this increase of tem perature"was three seconds, three-quarters of a mile in longitude daily; but there was one instance of a change of more than 13 seconds, one of a change of upwards of 12 seconds, three of upwards of 7 seconds, one of upwards of 6, three of upwards of 5, and ei g ht o f upwards of 4. The average, however, was about three seconds of change in the rate; and there were many chronometers in which it was less than two seconds, and several in which it was less than one second. Mr. Hartnup's experiments lead him to the conclusion that the supposed difference of rate of going in some chronometers ol sea and on land, has nothing to do with land or sea but is entirely the result of changes of temperature ; a n d 'his investigations confirm him in the opinion that no captain ought to rely for his time on one chronometer. In order to prove this he has constructed a table, showing how nearly certain it is that a captain who does so will fail into error in his longitude, in the course of a voyage of moderate length. Mr. Hart nup oho suggests that the electric clock in Castle-street might be worked from the Observatory. lAL Of I =On Sunday, when 1 aressec le, and 1 house, where cards wc however, went relieved of a silver watch ith the cloth by TIER AMERICA Britisl ship, Capt x and Boston. 1 $ usual mails, a full Ca. make a tom wombed: to within about t tt Liver )St imme A STRINGER from Shipley, in Derl Leitch, took Y. the United States. lATIONS AGAINST Pt The follow it !ments of thi I Kirkdale, £5 reat Charlotte-street, 20s.

AWFUL TRACIEDY.—On Tuesday, at Rawtenstall, Eliza. beth, wife of Henry Cunliffe, labourer, of Oakenhead Wood murdered her child, Alice Hannah, aged nine months, by cutting her throat, and afterwards attempted suicide by cuttin -, her own. The father of Elizabeth Cunliffe called at the house betwaen two and three o'clock, and finding the door closed he forced it open. On proceeding ur stairs he found the child and its mother in bed, the forme! ,with its throat cut and dead, and the latter also bleeding , from a wound in the throat, and nearly dead. He found a penknife near the bed, and an old razor under the bolster. The surgeon gave but little hopes of the woman's recovery. She has, however, since rallied. She had been for some time labouring under great depression of mind, awing to the ill treatment of her husband. A DESCENDANT OF PRINCE RUPERT, Miss Henrietta Ouchterlony, of Montrose, died a few days since, having attained the age of ninety-one years. The deceased was the last survivor of three sisters, who were for many years inhabitants of Montrose, and her only near relative is a nephew, General Ouchterlony, now in the Russian army. The Ouchterlony family counted among their kindred several families of " gentle" blood. Of these we may notice the Youngs of Aldbar, the Grahams of Claverhouse, and last, though not least, Prince Rupert. The Lady Ruperta, a natural daughter of Prince Rupert, by her marriage with Brigadier-General Lord Howe, had a daugh ter, Henrietta, maid of honour to the Princess of Orange. This grandchild of the prince married David Skinner, Esq. ; and their eldest daughter, Mary Ruperta Skinner, wife of John Ouchterlony, Esq., some time of Kintorckat, was the mother of the late Miss Henrietta Ouchterlony.— Montrose Review. THE SIDDITARIAN QUESTION IN SCOTLAND. -On Sunday morning last the steamer Emperor left the Broomielaw with a full compliment of passengers, there b e i ng upwar d s o f 400 son board, including a con siderable number of ladies. On reaching Gourock, we were informed two or three gentlemen who had been pas sengers by one of the Liverpool steamers went on board the Sunday steamer, with the view of being conveyed across to the village of Row. Upon reaching the pier at this place the gentlemen fropmreLhi-erptmoobl3waerebulgaended, woodenbut gateway, passage eidd was prevented across the middle of the their further l v i ri.ci p t pier. This, it seems, however, proved no very serious obstacle, for some of the passengers speedily procured a saw, with which they cut away a sufficient number of the wooden bars of the gate or barricade to enable the passen gers to get through. When the Emperor approached the head of the loch, it was also found that the old stone pier erected by the fishery board, was strongly barricaded un der the orders of the lord-lieutenant of the county. There was no force of men, however, to defend the erection, and a small boat having been lowered from the steamer, with a party carrying an axe, saw, crowbars, and other imple ments, the obstruction in a few minutes was thrown into the loch, and floated away in the direction of the other pier. :go landing was attempted here, the steamer at once making for the regular pier. At this point some persons, with the view of giving annoyance to the passengeN, about one hour before the arrival of the Emperor, lifted nine or ten planks from the middle of the pier ; but this difficulty was easily got over, and the entire body of pas sengers, disembarked in safety, the planks which had been uplifted from the pier being made use of as a bridge to enable them to get over the wooden gateway adjoining the tollhouse. There was one of the rural policemen and some other men with him overlooking the landing, but no disturbance ensued, and the passengers, after walking about the neighbourhood for two hours, again quietly em barked in the same way as they had come, without creat ing the slightest noise, or giving ansunpAce t 4 any person. —Olasgoto Chronicle.
