will see the advantage of free and open seats, and will use
your influence, avoidingc, interference with prescriptive and

festival of the Institution for the Relief of the Widows and

Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man,
when a collection in aid of the institution (which was founded
in the year 1697) was made, and amounted to the sums of
£67 13s. 10d. The friends of the charity, to the number of
about one hundred, dined together in the afternoon in St.

and was supported by the Bishop of Sodor and Man, the Ven.
Archdeacon Brooks, the Rev. Chancellor Thurlow, the Rev.
Richard Greenall, the treasurer and secretary of the charity
Gilbert Greenall, Esq., M.P., J. Ireland Blackburne, Esq., and
the principal clergy and gentry of the town and neighbour..
hood. In the course of the proceedings, the Rev. Mr. Quekett,
the rector of Warrington, was appointed secretary of the
institution, and the Rev. Chancellor Thurlow intimated
his intention, next year, to move that on all future occasions
the anniversary should be held in Warrington. The secretary
announced a liberal list of subscriptions, and among them a
donation of £5O from Le Gendre N. Starkie, Esq., who re-
gretted that he was prevented by infirmity from presiding on
the occasion.

ENGLISH CHURCH AT CANNES, SOUTH OF FRANCE.—..
(From a correspondent.)—Many of your readers, especially
such as are acquainted with the sunny south, will be thankful
to learn that the birth-day of our beloved Queen was comme-
morated by the gratifying ceremony of laying the foundation
stone of an English Church at Cannes. The chief promoter
of this good work is Mr. Woolfield, the worthy occupant of
Chateau St. Georges. The site of the little Church is most
chateauhappily
ocfhoLseonrdoßnrotuhgehapmro,paenrdty
mMann Woolfield,
yoftheh near
o asesutso theually
occupied by the English residents. The blue Mediterranean
is just below, and the lovely Esterelles in the distance, form-
ing one of the most enchanting views to be found in the South
of Europe. A good number of English assembled on the
ground, and several came over from Nice, on this interesting
occasion. Some respectable foreigners were also present, and
seemed to take much interest in the ceremony. The four foun-
dation corner stones were laid by Mr. and Mrs. Woolfield,
formerly of Liverpool, and Mr. and Mrs. Evans. The ceremony
was commenced by the reading of a portion from the Old Tes-
tament, by the Rev. Charles Childers, British Chaplain at
Nice. The 100th Psalm was given out by the Rev. William.
Ogle, and devoutly sung by the assembled people. A portion
of the New Testament was then read, and a very appropriate
prayer offered by the Rev. Mr. Childers. The whole was
concluded by the Lord's Prayer and benediction ; and all se-
parated highly delighted with what had taken place. Thus,
in God's good Providence, Cannes will now have an additional
attraction, viz., an English Church, with every security for a
faithful ministry.

MUNIFICENT LEGACIES—The late Mr. H. M. Gibb, of the
Royal Hotel, in Edinburgh, has bequeathed the sum of
£13,400 to religious and charitable institutions connected with
that city.

ON SATURDAY, as a female who had been suffering from
disease was breakfasting with her husband hr London she
suddenly drew a razor from her pocket, and exclaimed, " This
will do me good." She directly afterwards inflicted a severe
gash in the front of her neck, which divided the main arteries
of the throat. She was conveyed to the Infirmary, where she
gradually sunk and died from loss of blood.

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN LONDON.—On Saturday after-
noon, an extensive robbery of silk was committed at Mr. Wm.
Sanderson's, No. 7, Gresham-street. The burglars cut a hole
through a sheet of glass in the skylight of the warehouse, to
which was tied a rope let into the warehouse. The aperture
was made of sufficient size to admit . a stout-built man with
facility. Although some persons reside in the house, no noise
was heard.

THE COUNTESS DE NEUILLY AT BEAU3TA.EIS.—The
arrival of the ex-Queen of the French at Beanmaris on Tues-
day evening last caused much excitement. The streets were
crowded with persons anxious to obtain a glimpse of the
Royal party, which consisted of the ex-Queen, the Duke and
Duchess de Nemours, Duke d'Alencon, the Princess Mar-
guerite, Countess McAllen, Counts D'Eu and Dumas and
suite. Her Majesty was received in the ball of the Bulkeley
Arms Hotel by Sir R. B. W. Bulkeley, of Bason-hill, the Lord
Lieutenant of the county and Mayor of Beaumaris.

BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE LATE CHARLES
TAYLEUR, ESQ.

IN a few weeks will be offered for PUBLIC SALE,
A_ the WOODCROFT ESTATE, freehold of Inheritance, con-
taining about 50 acres, situate in the township of Wavertree, on
the north or north-east side of Smithdown-lane, and running
along Wellington-road towards Wavertree-lane, with which latter
it communicates by a new street lately made the whole length of
the property.
It is proposed to sell the estate in lots of from )0,000 to 18,000
yards, but, if required, it will be sold in such other quantities as
may suit purchasers.
Woodcroft House, which was built with every attention to con-
venience and comfort, with good outbuildings and offices, com-
prising about 18,000 yards, forms a very desirable lot.
The rapid increase in the population of Liverpool calls for the
erection of moderate-sized villas, with good gardens attached, and
this estate is particularly suited for this purpose, being within an
easy walking distance of Liverpool.
The great sewer now being constructed for the suburbs will af-
ford an excellent drainage.
Plans and further particulars may be had by application to P.
SERJEANTSON, Esq., 17,01dhall-street ; or Messrs. LACE, Rivas,
and RoscoN, Castle-street.
