with a union jack and a tricolour, surmounted with crowns of
laurel. The chandeliers, as usual, were much admired.
At the time aboce mentioned, the Duke made his appearance,
wearing the ribbon and star of the garter, and also his Crimean
medal. He was attended by the Earl of Derby, Lord Stanley,
Lord Chesterfield, Lord Colville, the Countess of Derby, Lady
Emma Stanley, Mr. T. B. Horsfall, M.P., the Mayor, Mrs.
Tobin, and several other fashionables. The audience rose and
cheered the duke most heartily till he was seated in his ap-
pointed place on the dais at the end of the hall.
Besides those named above, there were also present Sir Harry
Smith, G.C.8., and the Misses Smith, W. Brown, Esq., M.P.,
and Mrs. Brown, J. Bromley-Moore, Esq., M.P., Charles
Turner, Esq., John Buck "Awl, Esq., William Earle, Esq.,
&c., &c.
Immediately oh his Royal Highness and the distinguished
party by which lie was accompanied having taken their places,
Mr. Best struck the first bar of " God Save the Queen," when
the whole audience rose, and Madame Clara Novello sang the
solo portion of the noble anthem, the choruses being taken up
and sung by the choir. At the conclusion of the national
anthem, Partant pour la Syrie" was given in fine style. The
concert was a miscellaneous one, consisting of selections from
the compositions of Bellini, S. Bach, Mendelssohn, Beethoven,
and other favourite composers ; it also included several organ
performances by Mr. Best, the corporation organist, and the
whole was appropriately concluded with the noble song of
triumph, " Rule Britannia." His Royal . Highness remained
till the conclusion of the concert.
After the concert had terminated, his Royal Highness and
his distinguished friends drove off for Knowsley, where they
arrived in safety. In this hospitable and stately
dinner mansion the
Earl and Countess of Derby gave a grand party on
Thursday, at which were present, in addition to his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the other distinguished
visitors, and the Knowsley family circle, James Aspinall
Tobin, Esq., the Mayor of Liverpool, Wm. Brown, Esq.,
M.P., Thomas Berry Horsfall, Esq., M.P., J. Bramley-Moore,
Esq., M.P., &c., &c.
THE SECOND EVERTON BONFIRE.—On Wednesday even-
ing, a large bonfire was kindled in a field near St. George's,
Everton, where, amidst considerable fun and excitement, an
effigy of the late Emperor Nicholas was consumed, accom-
panied by the firing of guns and pistols, and the strains of a
band. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood contributed the
means, and the bonfire, from the great elevation on which it
was placed, illuminated the surrounding country for a consi-
derable distance.

Sept. 29, at Harrogate, the Rev. John Baldwin, of Dalton, near
Ulverstone, age,l 63.
Oct. 8, at Bath, William Hungerford Colston, D.D., 57 years
Rector of West Lydford, Somerset, and for the same period an

THE recent Thanksgiving, by whomsoevercomposed, omitted
all allusion to the mediation of our Blessed Lord in the con-
clusion of the prayer ; a fact the more striking when it is re-
membered that, with the exception of the prayer of St.
Chrysostom (addressed to our Lord himself,) all the prayers in
the Prayer-book are, in obedience to our Blessed Lord's injunc-
tion, made in His Name.
PROPOSED NEW ENGLISH BISHOPRICS.--The commis-
sioners appointed to inquire into the condition of our cathe-
drals, have recommended to Her Majesty's government the
immediate formation of four additional English Bishoprics—
one for Westminster, now comprised in the bishopric of Lon-
don—one for Southwell, now comprised in the bishopric of
Lincoln—one for St. Columb, now forming part of the diocese
of Exeter, and one for Bristol which is to be independent of
the see of Gloucester. It is expected that the Dean of Bristol
will have the bishopric of that city, and that Dr. Walker will
be appointed bishop of St. Columb, for which see he has pro-
vided an endowment. _

THE Bailor OF LABITAN.—Her Majesty having been
pleased to issue letters patent for the erection of the Island of
Labuan into a bishop's see, with jurisdiction over the clergy
and congregations of the Church of England in Borneo, a royal
mandate has been issued to the Bishop of Calcutta and his
suffragans to consecrate the Rev. Francis Thomas M`Dougall,
D.C.L., to be the first bishop, and St. Luke's-day, Oct. 15, has
been fixed for the consecration. The principal part of the en-
dowment, £5,000, is provided by the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Gospel, out of its public funds, and the Society for
Promoting Christian Knowledge has granted £2,000.

The following is the address of the clergy, which lies for sig-
