A DESPATCH from Stockholm, dated August 27, states- that

Church, and the most important ecclesiastical dignitary of the
kingdom, died that morning, at Upsala.
THE BISHOP or LONDON is under the necessity of having
recourse to the advice of an oculist. His lordship, is at Dus-
seldorf, under the care of Dr. Leuw, by whose treatment his-
sight has been improved. - The bishop preached at the English
Church on Sunday.
THE REV. Da. AND 111-. ES: M`ROVG.ALL arrived safely gat Sa-
rewak, Borneo, on April- 24th, after a tedious passage 'of
twenty-four days from Singapore. They were most cordially
welcomed by Rajah Brooke and the. inhabitants, European and
native.
THE thirty-fifth annual report of the Commissioners for
Building New Churches has • been issued. Twenty-seven
churches, containing accommodation for 18,375 persons,-in-
chiding 11,774 free seats, have, by aide of grants, been cam-
pleted since the last report, and twenty-one new churches‘are
in course of erection.

DEA.TM, or ARCHDEACON Hinson.—The Ven. Gem,*
Hodson, M.A., Archdeacon of Lichfield,. and Canon Reai-
dentiary of Lichfield Cathedral, died a few days since at Rive:
The archdeaconry and canonry thus rendered vacant are in.
the gift of the Bishop of Lichfield. The-reverend gentleman-,
was also vicar of St.. Mary's, Lichfield, an appointment which,
is worth about &COO-a year, in the-gift of the Dean and Chap-

church of St. Nicholas—will be- fitted up and lighted for
Sunday evening.service. "The effectrof alargs congregation
worshipping% down atneat the tombs-at night,"' says a local
paper, " cannot fail to be at once picturesque and. impressive."
THE REV: ROBERT FREEMAN, assistant chaplain. to the army
in the East, died_ at sea on August Itith., Mr. Freeman left
the Crimea some weeks ago, exhausted4by his. severe and in-
cessant labours:- Fever confined him for atimetothe hospital
at Scutari ; bat-he was returning home with reduced; strength
when he sunk, under an attack of internal inflammation and
ulceration. He is, we believe, the third.of the chaplains con-
nected with the Society for the Propagation, of the Gospel
whose lives hr.ve been saerificed in ministering.to the sick and
wounded.

A correspondent, ." J....L.," sends us the followinremarks on
" How to Employ an. Agricultural Population on Sunday
Evenings." He writes--".A few months -agoI; was- appointed
to a vicarage -in the.-diocese of Lincoln,. with .a population of
360. I officiated there for the first time on the -17. th of June
last, when I found the singing very b. indeed.. In conse-
quence, I at once -gave-notice that there 'would ‘be. a singing-
meeting at the church. every Sunday evening atsimo',clock. It
was attended the first Sunday by about -sixty people, the
second by about seventy, and ever since it has been- attended
by about 100 to 120. We work hard for au hour and half at
the Gregorians-and. good old psalm and hymn tunes,. and then
for half an hour I examine the whole assembly, young-and old,
in some portion of scripture, such as the history of Moses or of
Jonah, &c. The.-hymmbook I use is Hkrun,s, for Public
Worship, published by the Society for Promoting. Christian
Knowledge, price 44-d.. In- all this the people take the-liveliest
interest, which is - manifest from the fact that they have pur-
chased of mersince -the- 17th of June, seven dozen Prayer-
books, eight dozen Hymn-books, and several Bibles,. These
and other means have been so far blessed as to add. twenty-
four to the list of communicants.—The Gucediad:
THE CH-enamor FnAzicz.—Gallicanismis not dead_ There
is again a stir amongthe dry bones whiclethe_lntramontanes
would fain persuade.-us are the mouldering relics of past days.
There has been a double cause for this reel ;ration :. the pro-
mulgation of- the new dogma, and the Liturgical: question.
The form of the enunciation of the new decree iselistasteful to
The Gallivan-;.. and the-matter still more - so; for there has
always been.apparent in this part a love ef-historic- truth, and
a genuine and -honest appeal to antiquity.; _while their oppo-
nents, satisfied as they are with the theory of present infalli-
bility, care- only for the voice of the Fathers: when it favours
themselves, .and is-useful against an adversary. The person
in whom the spirit-of the Gallican party recently found voice
on this point, was the-Abbe Laborde. The -Abbe- Laborde is
dead,—at a etitical.moment, when his fearlessness might have
done much for -his- countrymen, and might have seriously
interfered: ith the-plans of the Ultraraontane parte% It does
not yet appear on .vehom his mantle has-fallen. The Liturgi-
cal question, again,.is- one calculated to stir-the- slumbering
sparks of Gallicanism_ For some years- pest; the Ultramon-
tanes have been straining every nerve,-to destroy all the
native- Liturgies. throughout France, and. to -introduce a uni-
formi...in the Roman use throughout. :the whole kingdom.

RE-ORENIXG OF ST. PETER'S- CHURCH, NEWTON--:,E.•
W.-im..ows.7on Sunday week this church was re-opened for- •
diyine service after undergoing various repairs and decoratinsdecorating..lt has been resented throughout ; new windows of cathedral. '
glass_ have been inserted; and an. east window of stained glass.
nos bemegiven by the Rev. PeterLegh, the incumbent. New
altar cloth, and furniture have been provided by private sub-
scription.. We understand £lo,ll3ore. has been offered towards,
a new pulpit, and it is expected .that two memorial windows.
will• also be contributed. Notwithstanding this gratifying
liberality, there remained a deficit to meet the genera total.
expenditure of about £BO. This necessitated appealseto. the
congregation generally, frorne the pulpit. There were large
and attentive congregationeenot only at the morningebut- alsea
at the afternoon and evening, services. The morning prayers
were read by the Rev. Peter Legh; the lessons and litany by
the Rev. R. F. Browne; the communion service by the Rev.
P, C. Claughton ; and the-sermon was preached by. the Rev..
Henry Gunning, rector of Wigan. The organist of Warring-
ton parish church presided over the musical serves, the ordi-
iary choir accompanying., The canticles were. sung to ser-
vices, and the psalms .Chanted. At the afternoon. and evening
services, two sermons. were delivereed by the Rev. P. C.
Claughton. After the three sermons the sumeof £.45 was col-
lected—a handsome sure; considering the church is not large,
and the congregation chiefly rural. - The re.openieg of their
church will long remain a memorable day among the inhabit-
ants of that pretty. and picturesque village..
THE NEW WSITOP or SYDNEY.—TheIIt Rev. Frederic
Barker, D.D., the recently-appointed sneeessor-of the late Dr.
Broughton, as Lord Bishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of
Australia, gerived in Sydney on the ittith of May. As soon as.
his arrivalL in Sydney became known, a 'deputation of the.
clergy and laity of the Church of 'England waited upon his
lordship,. and a number of the ministers, and several members
of the: diocesan committee, met in the school-hall of. St.
Andrew's, when a congrahilatory address to his lordship.from
the archdeacon, clergy, and laity of the diocese of Sydney, was
read, by the ,Ven. Archdeacon Cooper. To this address Isis
lordship made an appropriate reply,- in which, after ex-
pressing his thanks for thelind reception which in, had met
with from the clergy and members of the church. he stated
his earnest desire to to fulfil the duties of the station to which
.he had been called that be might be found by experience to
be such as their desires and expectations had led
them to imagine his might bee," a promoter of godly
union and conear4— a preacher of the, Word in truth
and righteousness—and an example to the floes of God."
The ceremony of the installation of the bishop took place in
St. Andrew's Cathedral on the 31st of May. A very numerous
assemblage attended to witness the ceremony : many persons,
indeed, were unable to obtain admission. James Norton,
Esq., registrar for the diocese, then read a notarial-document.
certifying the consecration of Frederick Barter, Doctor of
Divinity, .to fill the see of Sydney, and to be Metropolitan!
Bishop of Australia. He also read Her Majesty's letters
patent, addressed to the Archbishop of -Canterbury, requiring
the consecration of the Rev.Trederick Barker. After the
reading of Her Majesty's letters patent, the Ven. the Arch-
. deacon of-Cumberland formally installed the right rev. prelate
by-reading the letters of introduction. The communion ser-
vice was afterwards- read to the close of the Nicene Creed by
the Bishop, assisted by the Rev. Mr. The rev, pre-
late then delivered an eloquent discourse, appropriate to the'

THREE hundred yards of the wall along the south end of
the Prince's-pier are marked off, and workmen have com-
menced pulling down the masonry, preparatory to the erection
of the new landing-stage.
LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT.—On Friday, before
Commissioner Stevenson, William Jones, publican, of Ewloe,
county Carnarvon, N. W., applied for his certificate, and was
opposed by Mr. Evans on the part of the assignees, on the
ground that the bankrupt had not kept a proper cash account.
His Honour granted a second-class certificate with three
months' suspension ; protection granted in the meantime.
Joseph Jackson, lately a linen-draper in St. James'-street,
obtained an immediate first-class certificate. Samuel How,
merchant, passed his adjourned last examination, and the
certificate meeting was fixed for the 27th of September.
George W. Hunter, ironmonger, came for his last examination,
but the case was adjourned, as no balance sheet had been
filed. There was also a dividend meeting in the case of
Daniel Finney. •
ASSAULTING THE POLlCE.—Thomas Fell, tailor, and
Joseph Dobson, confectioner, both of Paradise-street, were
charged, on Thursday, with assaulting police-officer George
Sinclair (442). On Tuesday evening, while on duty in that
street, Dobson, it was alleged, came up to the officer and
accused him with neglecting his duty by allowing an oyster
stand to remain near his shop. He then struck and kicked
the officer, and ran off. The officer stated that he attempted
to take him into custody, when Fell came up, and, trying to
rescue Dobson, struck him several times. A number of
witnesses were called who confirmed the statement of the
officer. The case was adjourned until Friday, when other
witnesses were examined, but the evidence being complicated
and contradictory, the case was dismissed.
THE STARVED CHILDREN.—The remaining children of the
Aspinols, who were committed on Monday last for wilfully
murdering (by starvation) two other of their children, are pro-
gressing favourably at the. Workhouse. Five of them are re-
stored to health and strength, proper rest and regular meals
having effected a wonderful change in their appearance for the
better. The sixth and youngest surviving child is also pro-
gressing favourably, and hopes of its final recovery are now en-
tertained. The care and attention bestowed on the poor little
sufferer by the nurse in whose care it is placed in the Work-
house have produced a marked improvement in it; and no doubt,
under a continuance of the same kind treatment, a few weeks
will see it restored to health. The children are placed in the
care of a nurse, and have a separate apartment appropriated to
themselves, on the ground floor of the hospital, where, for the
present, they seem to be happy and contented. Tco much
praise cannot be given to Mr. Carr, the governor of the
Workhouse, for the prompt energy and humane attention
which he has exhibited towards these hitherto neglected little
ones.

TREAT TO SCItOOI, CHILDREN.—On Tuesday, the children
of St. Anne's National Schools, Stanley, had their annual
rural excursion to the village of Hale. A subscription, headed
by the clergyman and his family, and the influential members
of the congregation, was raised, and the respectable tradesmen
of the village provided spring vans for the conveyance of the
whole party, consisting of considerably more than 300. Arrived
at Hale, they were met by their own clergyman, who had pre-
ceded them, and his friend the Rev. Mr. Stewart, the incum-
bent of Hale, who kindly assumed the office of guide. He
led them to a charming spot on the banks of the Mersey,
where the cart of the commissariat was unloaded, and sand-
wiches were distributed among the children. After enjoying
themselves upon the shore, they returned to the church, where
Mr. Stewart pointed out the objects worthy of especial notice.
The reverend gentleman then ascended a tombstone and gave
a very interesting account of the Child of Hale, that famous
giant, who measured 9 feet 3 inches in height. Those of the
children who chose then walked over the charming grounds
of the parsonage, and, eager for another ride, proceeded to
re-mount their conveyances. As the party returned the hila-
rity was kept up with unflagging energy, and the proceedings
of the day-closed by a substantial tea• and bun party at the
-school-room. The Rev. Mr. Gardner then gave the children
a short address, complimenting them upon their good behavi-
our, which had caused one lady who noticed it to present him
-with a half-sovereign towards their next treat—an example
he hoped many would follow. He also urged upon the parents
who were assembled the duty of keeping their children- as
regularly and as long as possible at school, and announced
a self-supporting dispensary, which he was endeavouring
to establish for the especial benefit of the children. The pro-
ceedings
gave great satisfattion, and reflect much credit upon
the incumbent and the schoolmaster, Mr. Ferguson.

LIVERPOOL AND BOSTON LINE.—A preliminary meeting
for organising the new steamship company was held at Bos-
ton (U.S.) on' the nth ult. ;The success of this great enter-
prise, so full of benefits to Boston, may now be reckoned upon
with absolute certainty. Those are enlisted in the work, who
are not accustomed to look back when once embarked, and
but a comparatively Short time will elapse, we feel assured,
before eight-day steamers will run as regularly between
Boston and Liverpool as eight-day clocks their accustomed
round. Boston has position, capital, and enterprise, to
ensure success. These need application, and the work is
done. Boston feels that in the present age of competition,
where New York on the one hand, and Portland on the other
are drawing from her vitality, that she must exert herself.
The first step was taken yesterday, the result of which we
shall see. The ships, it is estimated, will cost-555,000 dirs.
each, the capital for the construction of which must be sub-
scribed, by the terms of the act of incorporation, within twelve
months. This matter of securing subscriptions, is in the
hands of an efficient and active committee, whose task will be
rendered comparatively easy by the favourable opinion the
community holds of the practicability and benefit of the un-
dertaking-7-Boston Post.

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.-011 Thursday an inquest
was held on the body of Patrick Rice, whose deathhadbeen
caused penawpicuksh,
wwhhoikcheephsealumedatizelvoeudsefroinmpaarkuiLlaannen.amTehde
James
deceased, who was about 22 years of age, resided in Jerry-hill,
and was engaged as a solicitor for emigrants. He was in the
habit of occasionally visiting Fenwick's establishment, for
dinner, and on Wednesday went there whilst under the influ-
ence of liquor, and asked for some potato pie. He was told it
was not ready, upon which he created some disturbance, and
Fenwick told him he would not serve him at all. This exas-
perated him still more, and he challenged Fenwick out to
fight. After a short time Fenwick went round the counter to
him, and gave him a push on the shoulder as he stood near
the door, telling him he must leave the house at once. Being
intoxicated, this caused him to stagger out of the door and
across .the footpath, where he fell down, his head being over
the channel. A lorry happened to be passing at the time, and
one of the wheels passed over the deceased's head, literally
smashing his brains out. The jury returned a verdict of
" Accidental death."
IRON CLIPPER SHIM—11l these days of rapid passages,
perhaps there is not a more remarkable one on reeord than
that just made by the clipper ship Cairnsmore, Capt. Crosbie.
She sailed from Greenock on the 3rd of April, and anchored
in Bombay harbour on the 13th of June, being only 71 days
from port to port, and only 60 days from land to roan
roach d. This
and
- passage to that port has never been even appd,
throws the famous run of the Parkfield completely into the
shade. The Cairnsmore is a new iron ship of 1,200 tons,
built by John Reid and Co., Port Glasgow, for Nicholson and
M`Gill, of Liverpool, and is a perfect model-of a clipper, com-
bining - extraordinary sailing qualities with great carrying
capacity. Before she sailed if was ascertained by measure-
ment that she would carry 1,500 tons of tea, 60 cabin feet to
the ton, or equal to about 1,800 tons of cargo, English mea-
surement. The Vanguard, Captain Wise, another iron vessel,
built by the same party, for the same owner's, is already well
known in-the East, and has just made the quickest passage of
the season, so far, from Liverpool to Calcutta, say 91 days.
She is under 700 tons register, has upwards of 1,200 tons of
Manchester goods, iron, &c., on board, andlas invariably de-
livered her cargoes in the finest order. Hitherto there has
been a prejudice against ships built of iron, but the perform-
ances of these two vessels ought to go far to set them right
with the mercantile community, insurance offices, &c. They
have a derided advantage over wooden vessels for this trade,
as, from their greater buoyancy, they carry a large cargo with
a light draft of water—the Vanguard, with -1-00 tons on
board; only drawing 161 feet. The Cairnsmore has averaged
about 200 miles daily during the whole passage, an extraordi-
nary performance for a sailing vessel.—Calcutta English-
man, of June-27. •

DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on.
Thursday, present, Mr. Charles Turner in the chair; Messrs.
Rankin,Mann, Robinson, Holme, Shand, Mondell, Hubback;
Smith, Lockett, Gladstone.—The . Sub-committee of works
submitted the surveyor's plans for deepening atnd
.repairingb
at an
the Queen's Dock, including filling up the west cost of from £lO,OOO to £20,000, ansrecsolinTmended
that the works be proceeded with.—The Chairman said some
of the timber merchants did not approve of the filling up of
the west slip. Mr. Halhead had complained to him that it
would be a great disadvantage to the timber trade generally,
as vessels came there to load deals and thnber.—Mr. Smith
said there were only a few. small vessels ;. and there was no
comparison between the convenience of the general trade and
that . of the timber trade there.—Mr. Holme said when the
Queen's Dock was widened and deepened it would become a
favourite dock, like the Prince's Dock.—Mr. Rankin said. it
was desirable it should be kept open for the timber trade until
;it'was required for other purposes.—Mr. Holme said when it
was going to be done now, it was a pity not to complete it.—
Mr. Shand said there was a slip on. the other side of the dock,
and it was filled up some time ago.—The Chairman said no
injury would arise from deferring the recommendation relative
to the slip for six months. The subject could be brought for-
ward again at the end of that time.—Mr. Lockett aSked, would
it be six months before the Queen's Dock was finished?—Mr.
Hartley.: Yes, more than that.—Mr. Lockett said great incon-
venience was now felt by the timber-trade. The Brunswick
Dock was not capable of affording them sufficient accommoda-
tion.—Mr. Holme said there was a number of empty vessels in
the deck ; why were they not sent to. Birkenhead ?'--The
Chairman : Will you take the risk of removing them ? -Mr.
Lockett said there were now no less , than 80 vessels, timber
laden, lying in the river, and the owners of those empty vessels
would not remove them from the dock unless they were allowed
special privileges.. If they took an empty ship out they wanted
to put another one -in, whether in turner otherwise. The
recommendation was confirmed, with the exception of that
part relating to the filling up of the slip on the west side of
the dock.—The sub-committee also produced a plan for fencing
the land to the east of Huskisson Dock for storing timber,
and for executing the No. 2' dock, which they recommended
should be proceeded with.—Mr. Mann said they ought now
to consider whether the timber trade could not. be better ac-
commodated at Birkenhead than at this side of the water.—
Mr. Smith said at the present moment there was a determi-
nation on the part of the timber trade not to remove froth the
Brunswick Dock ; and this year, in every ship that was char-
tered, there was a clause that she should discharge in the
Brunswick Dock. Some vessels were in the river ten days
already, and would not get in these springs, so that from the
time of arrival to the time of getting into dock, a month
would elapse.—Mr. Holme: That will cure itself.—Mr. Mendell
stated that there was accommodation the previous day for six
large ships in the Huskisson Dock.—Mr. Smith said it. was not
to be expected that gentlemen would place their timber there
when it was known that upwards of £4OOO worth' of timber
had been stolen from there.—The Chairman said what. the
timber merchants objected to was a divided trade.. They had
no objection to the north, but they objected to the trade
being divided.—Mr. Gladstone said that they could not think
of sending the whole of the timber trade to 'Birkenhead. It
was a branch of the whole tree. After some further con -
versation the recommendation was confirmed.—The Harbour
Masters' Sub-committee reported with reference to the letter
of the Mayor, chairman of the Reformatory Committee, that
after consulting with Captain Hookey they were of opinion
the Akbar could be moored in :the Great Float, beyond the
Canada works, without causing incoiignience, proper moor-
ings being provided by the Reformatory .fegnunittee ; but
should it be necessary to remove her, the Reforpn;tory Com-
mittee to undertake to do so at their own expense; This ter-
mjpatecl the general business.' •
.

AT the licensing session, on Wednesday, the magistrates
refused to renew the license for Harwood's Black Bess Tavern,
Williamson-square, where a "Judge and Jury Society" has
lately been located. They also refused to renew the license
to Warneck's German emigrant lodging-house, Marybone.

SUDDEN DEA.TII.—On Friday, an adjourned inquest on the
body of Mrs. Gerard, of Wood-street, terminated before the
coroner. Dr. Kemp and Mr. Johnstone made an examination
of the body, and found that death had resulted from disease
of the heart. The jury returned a verdict in accordance. •

TIER ArnrceN 60MPANY.—As one of the results of the
Limited Liability Act, a joint-stock company is in course.
of formation in this town, to be called the African Company.
The object of the company is to carry on a barter trade for
British manufactures with the natives of Africa, for the
various productions of their country.

Two STEAMERS, building at Mr. Laird's yard, in Liverpool,
for the French Compagnie des Messageries Imperiales, will be
launched this week. They are of 1300 tons register, and 220
horse-power; built with very fine lines, to obtain high speed,
with comparatively small power. They are intended to run
between Marseilles, Constantinople, and the Crimea.

CONSCIENCE MONEY.—On Friday week, the Mayor, J. A.
Tobin, Esq., received an anonymous letter, bearing the Bristol
post-mark, and directing the especial attention of his worship
to a box that next day would be delivered at the Town Hall.
On Saturday the box arrived, and was. found to contain,
wrapped up in old linen, one hundred sovereigns.
A FIRE was discovered, on Wednesday night, on board the
ship Champion, in George's Dock. The attention of the police
was at once called to the accident, and Major Greig and Mr.
Hewitt were promptly on board. The fire, however, had been
partially extinguished by the efforts of the shipkeeper and one
or two of the dock police, and the engines were not required.
ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER ONDINE.—On Wednesday
night this fine screw steamer, while on her passage from
London to Dublin, sighted a vessel in distress on the Wick-
low banks, when she steamed towards her for the purpose of
towing her off. On nearing the vessel she ran into her, and
sustained such injury that the captain found it necessary to
put back for the purpose of getting the damage repaired.
MR. OLIVER'S AFFAIRS.—Mr. Oliver was adjudicated a
bankrupt, by Mr. Commissioner Stevenson, on Tuesday. Mr.
Evans appeared for the petitioning creditor, who is said to be.
one of the parties concerned in the actions brought against
Mr. Oliver, at the recent assizes, in connection with certain
acceptances. The adjudication is to be disputed, but no day
has yet been fixed for the argument.
HEALTH OF THE TowN.—At a meeting of the health
committee, on Tuesday, the medical officer reported that the
mortality continues much below the average. 200 deaths
were registered in the week ending Saturday, the 25th of
August; zymotic diseases caused 62 deaths, of these 40 were
from diarrhoea (15 fewer than the average), 4 from fever, 8 from
scarlatina, 5 from measles, 4 from hooping cough, 1 from
erysipelas; diseases of the lungs, 45 deaths, 22 being from
consumption ; debility and natural decay, 25 deaths ; convul-
sions 15, apoplexy 1, paralysis, 1, delirium tremens 3, diseases
of the heart 4, dropsy 1.
THE CHEMISTS' ASSOCIATION.—The annual meeting of
this society was held in'the Royal Institution, on Thursday—
E. Evans, Esq., in the chair. The secretary read the report
of the council and the treasurer's financial statement for the
past year, which were unanimously adopted : —The President's
Annual Laboratory prize was presented to Mr. William
Henry Samuel ; and Mr. Rawle's prize for the best essay on
hydrocyanic acid to Mr. Robert Gibson West. Thanks were
voted to the late secretary, Mr. Thomas D. Walker, for his
services during the past year; and after a few of the by-laws
had been discussed, their further consideration was adjourned
to Thursday, 13th' September.
Sun, Lertycir.—On Wednesday last, was launched from
the yard of Messrs. Clarke, ./Etna-street, a vessel of beautiful
model and large carrying capacities, which is expected to mea-
sure about 460 tons. This vessel was laid on the stocks for
Joseph Brooks Yates, Esq., the well-known Jamaica merchant
of this town ; but, as that gentleman has retired from busi-
ness in favour of Messrs. Roberts and Griffith, she will be
owned by the latter firm, in conjunction with a friend or two
who wish to hold shares in her. She was called the Georgians,
in honour of the lady of one of the intended owners, and the
ceremony of naming was performed by that lady, under the
direction of Mr. Yates. The launch was a splendid one, and
afforded great delight to all who witnessed it.

N.A.SMYTH'S WROUGHT IRON ORDNANCE.—The Press says,
with reference to the monster-guns which are being made at
Manchester, that, as time flies, so does their confidence in the
production of "big guns." It alludes to the bursting of the
wrought iron gun made on the banks of the Mersey, and put
on board the United States frigate Princeton, by which seve-
ral people were killed, and 'the failure of the Lancaster gun,
which burst with the first regular service charge, with a view
to establishing the uncertainty of making sound work of such
masses of iron. The Press prophesies that the nine or 'ten
months of procrastination and delay which have taken place,
will result in failure.

"THE LIVERPOOL LIFE."—The Salem, of the Liverpool
Line of Autralian Packets, arrived at Bombay on the 23rd
July. She was off Port Philip Heads on the 6th June, and
consequently made the run to Bombay in 46 days. The alem
sailed from this port on the 19th February, and has thus
maintained the reputation of the line, having arrived out, dis-
charged cargo; and landed passengers all safe ; cleared again,
and reached her Indian port, in a space of time not longer than
the Frederick, which made the two voyages to Australia, and
thence to India, in 123 days, under canvas. There are no
passages equal to those on record.
BOILERMAKERS' AND IRON SHIP BUILDERS' SOCIETY.—
The twenty-first annual meeting of the Liverpool branch of
the head-quarters, Which are held at Manchester, vas held on
Monday, at the Edge-hill Coffee-house. About 240 mem-
bers and about 120 females sat down to dinner. In the even-
ing a ball took place, and the dancing was kept up until a late
hour. It appears that on the 30th June last the united so-
defy,: which is made up of 00 branch societies, numbered
3,400 members. It had then a balance in hand of £6,220 4s. 21d.
although during the past three years £11,510 lls. 101-d. had
been expended in the burial of deceased membersrin allowances
to sick membeis, and in the superannuation of others.
LANCASHIRE ;AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.—The report of
the directors states that the revenue account for the half-year,
ending June 30, shows that £480,918 had been received, and
£467,071 at the corresponding period of 1854, --showing an in-
crease of £13,847. The expenses for the past half-year
amounted to £15,557, and for the corresponding period of
last year £201,091, showing a decrease of £5,534, which, added
to the gross traffic, makes an increase in the net revenue of
£19,381. The balance of revenue applicable to the payment
of interest and divided and other fixed charges is £318,677.
It is recommended that a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent.
per annum, less income-tax, be declared, leaving a surplus of
£14,000.
EXPORTS.—The London Gazette contains an order in
council, announcing, with reference to the prohibition of the
exportation of certain articles north of Dunkirk and east of
Malta, that the prohibition to export such articles east of
Malta shall cease, with the exception of gunpowder, saltpetre,
brimstone, nitrate of soda, sulphate of potash, muriate of
potash, arms, and ammunition, including lead. The Gazette
also contains an order in council, prohibiting the exportation
of certain descriptions of iron north of Dunkirk, but per-
mitting their exportation to any other part upon taking a
bond from the exporters that the articles shall be landed at
the port of destination. The Gazette also contains a Board
of Trade notification, reporting the intended imposition of
three-quarters' of a real' per ton upon all vessels entering or
leaving the River Plate.
ROYAL NORTH LANCASHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—
Wednesday was the first day of the annual gathering of the
members and their friends, which, for this year, was appointed
to take place at Lancaster. The proceedings were limited to
the trials of field implements on a farm about a mile and a
half from Lancaster, on the old Ashton-road. The society
awarded £lO for the best reaping and mowing machines. Two
entries were made, but only one machine was brought —one of
Crosskill's patents—the property of W. A. F. Saunders, Esq.,
Wennington-hall, Lancaster. The manner in which is in-
strument, drawn by a pair of horses, with a man as driver and
another as raker, accomplished its work. gratified a numerous
body of spectators, including many farmers and amateurs.
The premiums offered by the society for the best plonghinc,
machines brought into an adjoining field seven swing plough's
and four wheel ploughs. 'the show of implements was very
interesting as well as extensive. The show of live beeves,
pigs, poultry, &c., was great. The dinner took place in the
Assembly-rooms, Mr. Gregson, M.P., in the chair.
MANCHESTER AND LIVERPQOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
—The special general meeting-of the committee and members
of this society (preparatory to the annual meeting on Thurs-
day next) was held on Wednesday morning, in.the Town-hall,
St. Helens,•.for the purpose of receiving the reports of the in-
spectors on the claims for the rewards in Class I.—best culti-
vated farms, draining, &c.; and Class 3—rewards to farm
servants and labourers. There was a large attendance of the
members of the committee from the various towns comprised
within the sphere of the society's operations. The chair was
taken by Mr. William Mercer. The secretary, Mr. T. B.
-Ryder, conducted the official business of the meeting. A dis-
cussion took place with regard to the conduct of Mr. Atherton,
of Speke. Mr. Atherton last year took two prizes, one for
drainage, the other for the best cut hedges, and the question
was raised as to his right to the prizes, on the ground that he
had given an inaccurate account of the number of lineal yards
drained, and the number of tiles employed in the w2rk. He
had Withdrawn his claim to the prizes, and stated that he had
Made a mistake. It was., after a good deal of conversation,
resolved that Mr. Atherton should not be allowed to compete
for any of the society's prizes for a period of three years. The
following were declared the successful competitors for the best
cultivate farms :—Mr. Richard Watt, (per Mr. 111`Farlane,)
Speke, near Liverpool; Mrs. Sarah Jenkinson, Speke, near
Liverpool • Thomas Lano.shaw, Speke, near Liverpool ; James
Rose, Halewood, "
near Warrington ; Richard Richardson,
Halewood, near Prescott ; John Ellis, Halebank, near 'War-
rington ; Mary Robinson, ea-green-hall, Church Minshull,
Cheshire; and Thomas V. Swinton, Marston, near North-
wich. The society's exhibition takes place on Thursday next,
at St. Helens.

• THE GAS INQUIRE.—The select committee met again on
Wednesday. The only witness examined was Mr. Newlands,
the borough engineer, who was requested to inform the com-
mittee with respect to the effect of the repeated openings for
gas pipes upon the stability of the streets. Mr. Newlauds
represented this effect as considerable, and stated that it was
sometimes found necessary to pave the streets which were so
broken up three times over before they could be got into proper
order, so completely was the bottom broken The Gas Com-
pany never made any difficulty in acceding to anything that
he thought necessary for putting the streets into the best
workable condition, after they had been broken up for the
pipes. In fact, they left it to himself. Still, the fact remained.
that the streets were very seriously affected, notwithstanding
those.repairs In 1818, he recommended what he thought was
the only effectual rethedy—the laying of the gas and water
pipes, in trenches, on either side of the street, having a sewer
at. the bottom of each trench, instead of breaking up the
carriage road as at present. He estimated the additional cost
which would-be thus entailed, upon a fair debtor and creditor
account, as compared with the existing system, at no more than
£1 per lineal yard. In answer to Mr. Shell, Mr. Newlands
expressed his opinion that, except in the case of extensions into
new districts, or repairs rendered necessary by some sudden
and unforeseen occurrence, the Gas Company might very well
give him a year's notice of the alterations which they proposed
to make in the existing pipeage, and of the cases in which
they intended to lay new pipes. Sonic further conversation
then took place, from which it appeared that Mr. Newlands
contemplated-using the tunnels or trenches which he proposed,
as channels for the wires of the electric telegraph, as well as
any immediate or extensive adoption of ifisfa,ll, Ift?,t only in
for the gas and water pipes; but that he did not recommend
prospective application, and its gradual subititution for that
now in use, from time to time, as,opPOrtunity might offer. The
committee adjourned without naming any day,' •

PRINCE MENSCHIKOFF'S CARRIAGE.—The case of assault
in connection with the attempt to carry off this vehicle came
before the Police-court on Tuesday. The bench decided on
inflicting a penalty of £5 and costs on Rafferty, for assault, or
imprisonment for two months.
DEATH BY BURNING.—On Sunday morning, a woman
named Mary McGrath, residing in a court off Key-street,
having, whilst in a state of intoxication, as is believed, gone
too near the fire, ignited her clothes, and these, before the
flames could be extinguished, so severely scorched her, that
she died shortly afterwards.
MODEL OF SEBASTOPOL.—From an advertisement it will
be seen, that Hough's elaborate and beautiful model of Se-
bastopol will remain on view at the Queen's Hall, Bold-street,
for two weeks longer. In this interesting model are clearly
defined not only the fortifications of the city and harbour, but
likewise the battle-fields of Balaklava and Inkerman, and also
the recent scene of the victory of the Tchernaya,
NOVEL DONKEY RIDE.—On Thursday morning the deni-
zens of some of our principal streets were startled by an
apparition which " hurried past with frightful haste " for a few
yards, and anon slackened speed, and glided gently by. The
irregularity of the-pace pursued was not more strange than
the incongruous appearance of the rider and his steed. Seated
on a veritable jackass, caparisoned in scarlet housings, mounted
with gold fringes, and a saddle and bridle of true Arabian
make, sat a portly figure, apparelled in the blue cloth and gilt
buttons which denote a naval man in authority; who, over a
flowing beard and other hirsute appendages, breathed awful
defiance at the troops of vulgar little boys who followed cheer-
ing in his rear, and occasionally, by their frantic gestures of
delight, goaded the bewildered steed into a short gallop. The
gallant captain, it appeared, started on his "cruise" from a
livery stables in the neighbourhood of Church-street, at full
gallop, when, in turning a corner, he sustained a fall. Once
more mounted, he became more prudent, and—except when
urged into an involuntary gallop—he went meandering gently
through Dale-street, Castle-street, Bold-street, &c., his journey
finally ending at a " mossy dell" in the neighbourhood of
Cabbage-hall, after a " progress" which had been quite an
"ovation " from the vociferous plaudits of the gamins of the
streets of Liverpool. The gentleman who thus " ran the
gauntlet" of the public gaze is the commander of a large
Mediterranean screw steamer, his Rosinante was a real Egyp-
tian donkey, which he had just brought home from Alexandria,
and the origin of the whole affair was a good-humoured wager
with the owner of the vessel, which he won in triumphant
' style. 'We may add that the donkey is of the rarest breed of
the country from which it comes, and is a decided curiosity
here. Though these animals are very diminutive, their shape
is perfect, and they will carry a stout man at the rate of eight
or nine miles an hour for a great distance.
EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL.—Twenty-eight emigrant
ships have left the Mersey during the past month for all foreign
ports, under government inspection, having on board 8,908 pas-
sengers, of whom 166 occupied cabin, and the remainder steerage
berths. Of the latter, 2,412 were English, 320 Scotch,
4,875 Irish, and 1,301 natives of other countries, chiefly Ger-
mans. These were again sub-divided as follows :—To Aus-
tralia : Six ships and 1,199 passengers, of whom sixty-two
were cabin, 650 English, 133 Scotch, 308 Irish, and 46
foreigners. To the United States : 20 ships and 7,174 pas-
sengers, including 95 cabin, 1,495 English, 164 Scotch, 4,428
Irish, and 992 foreigners. To New Brunswick : 1 ship and
167 passengers, of whom S were cabin, 32 English, 1 Scotch,
35 Irish, and 91 foreigners. To Canada : 1 ship and 534
passengers, including 1 cabin, 235 English, 229 Scotch, 104
Irish, and 172 foreigners. On Saturday, the Albatross,
belonging to the " Eagle" line of packets, sailed from this
port for Melbourne, with a large complement of passengers
and a full cargo. During this week several first-class vessels
will take their departure from the Mersey for Australian
ports, amongst which will be the celebrated clipper Lightning,
Captain Enright, of the " Black Ball " line, which will sail
to-morrow for Melbourne, with the Australian mails and a
full number of passengers and cargo. The Indian Queen,
Captain Jobson, will sail about the same time for the same port
as an extra ship of-the " Black Ball" line. The "Liverpool"
line of packet-ship Gipsey Bride, Captain Montgomery, will
also take her departure for Melbourne during the week. She
has a large number of passengers on board, and all her
I available space for cargo has been engaged.
LAUNCH.—The new screw-steamer Barcelona, belonging to
the " Linea de Vapores Correos Espanoles Transatlanticus,"
and intended for their Spanish mail line between this port
and Havana, calling at Vigo and Porto Rico, was launched
from Mr. John Laird's building-yard, Birkenhead, on Satur-
day. The ceremony of naming was performed by Miss Little-
dale, in the presence of a numerous company of ladies and
gentlemokwhich the fineness of the weather and the ecldt of
the occasilti had drawn to the banks of the Great Float. The
following are the dimensions of the Barcelona: 260 feet long,
36 feet 6 inches beam, 26 feet deep, 1,650 tons old measure-
ment, or :1,800 -tons new measurement, with engines of 300
horse power, 'by Messrs. Fawcett and Preston. She has an
entire spar deck from end to end, and a deck-house dining-
room aft, ximilar to those in the Cunard steamers, with a top-
gallant forecastle for the men. She will be barque-rigged,
with considerable spread of canvas, so as to avail fully of wind
and steam; has accommodation for first, second, and third
class passengers, and will carry twenty days' coal, and a thou-
sand tons of measurement goods. Among the company were
the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester; Mr. Harold
Littledale and family; Mr. Thomas Bold; Mr. W. Mann,
chairman of the Shipowners' Association, and family; M. De
Vega, the Spanish consul at this port; Captain Carricati, and
the officers of the Vigo, in their uniforms, &c. After the
launch, he friends of Mr. Laird went on board the new
Woodside Ferry steamer, which had been gaily decorated for
the occasion, and drank success to the new ship Barcelona.
AN HONEST FELLOW IN DIFFICULTIES.—Richard Price, a
huge river boatman, was brought up at the Police-court, before
Mr. Benn and Mr. Harvey, on Friday, charged with creating
a disturbance. Mr. John Crosthwaite, one of the borough
magistrates, said that lie was coming along Dale-street, about
one o'clock that day, when he saw a large crowd in North
John-street. On going up he saw the prisoner " knocking
the people about right and left, like so many nine-pins."
(Laughter.) He (Mr. C.) could not ascertain what the row
was about, as it seemed to spring up in a moment. He saw
Police-officer 16-coming up the street,' and gave the prisoner
into custody. Price, with many good-humoured gestures,
said that he had been employed for the last three weeks in
helping to raise -the sunken ship Retriever, and was going
along with others to the office of Messrs. Leech, Harrison,
.and Forward to receive his wages. He was time-keeper, and
one of the men wanted him to charge for a gang of eight men,
when only six had been employed. He (Price) said "he
would not see the company robbed in that way." The other
man struck him, "and," said Price, "he struck me twice be-
fore I reversed." (Laughter.) The Bench : "But still you
struck others as well as him ?" Price : " Oh, no! I was only
pushing them on one side." (Laughter.) The Bench : " You
were rather rough about it, though." (Laughter.) Price :
T' other man was charging for two men nor were at work,
because he was drunk, do you see ; and was it loikely I was
going to stan' that? (Laughter.) Would oi cum to you and
ax for money for work as was never done ? It's not loikely !"
(Laughter.) The wife of one of the prisoner's fellow-workmen
confirmed his statement. The Bench (to Price): "You had
no right to cause adisturbance in the street." Price: " That's
a noiee thing ! Would you sten' in the street to be struck ?"
•(Laughter.) The Bench : " You should quarrel in other
places, and not in public. You are to blame for dealing out
your rough blows to everybody about you in the street."
Price : Oh I then oi must be knocked doun quietly, must
oi ?" (Roars of laughter.) The Beneh :•" Well, go away ; you
are dismissed." Superintendent Gough : "That is a very
well disposed man, though he appears before you in a bad
light. He has often rescued police-officers when they have
been knocked down' and surrounded by a dozen or more rough
fellows, at the risk of being knocked down and ill-used him-
self." Mr. Crosthwaite :" It would take a strong man to
knock him down, from what I saw." (Laughter.)

nearly two months. He wore a white straw bonnet, trimmed
with white sarsuet ribbon outside, and having a false cap
with artificial flowers inside. The dress was of brown stuff,
with black silk mantle. The boots were of cloth, and he car-
ried a parasol. • His hair is black, and of great length, and
dressed according to the latest fashion. The breasts being
well padded, and the beard and whiskers well kept down by
pumicestone and prepared chalk (which were found in Maria
Brown's dressing-case), the make-up was good, and ninety-nine
persons out of :hundred might be excused suspecting the sex.
He was remanded, the magistrate directing that a proper suit
of clothes should be provided.

TriE OCEAN CHIEF made the passage from Liverpool to
Hobart Town in 72 days—the quickest passage ever made.
On her arrival the passengers presented a flattering testimo-
nial to Captain Tobin, in which they say :—" March 24th,
11355.—Honoured Sir,—The passengers of the good ship Ocean
Chief take this opportunity of congratulating you upon this
most successful and unprecedentedly quick voyage from Old
England to Hobart Town, Tasmania. They have particularly
to thank you 'for the great kindness and consideration with
which you have treated every passenger in the ship, the
lively interest you have taken in their welfare, being ever
ready to remedy the smallest inconvenience, and to provide
for their comfort. They feel satisfied that such a commander
must add to the widespread fame of the " Black Ball" Line.
They have to thank Dr. Sergeant for the manner in which he
has discharged his arduous duties. * * * They feel it
is only due to your chief officer, Mr. Hunter, to say that they
have to thank him for his kind and courteous conduct to all
on hoard. * * They beg to assure you that they will ever
remember the good ship and the able and respected captain
with whom they left their native laud. When they consider
the immense power for good or evil—comfort or discomfort of
the passengers—possessed by the captain of an emigrant ship,
they are filled with gratitude to you, seeing that your kind
disposition has prompted you to adopt for them the better
course. They have to thank you for the regularity with which
they have had an opportunity of attending divine worship.
That the b'essing of God may attend you ; that fortune may
smile upon you ; that success may attend you in all your
undertakings ; that you and your amiable wife may be long
spared to each other ; and that at last, when the ' voyage of
life' is over, you may anchor sately in heaven—in bidding
you farewell—is the sincere wish of your humble servants."
Captain Tobin kept a log in the way suggested by Lieut.
Maury, and the result is full of interest.

SALE £T MR. WILLIAM JOSEPH HORSPALL'S HOUSE
PRINCE'S PARK.—Our readers will, we are sure, be grieved
to hear that owing to bad health, the able member for South
Toxteth Ward in the Common Council, W. J. Horsfall, Esq.,
is compelled to seek the sunny clime of France, where, we
trust, he will regain his health, and in a short time be able to
return. In consequence of this remove, Mr. Horsfall has had
to relinquish his elegant residence, and allow his costly
furniture and splendid works of art to be disposed of by the
auctioneer's hammer. Mr. Branch has been entrusted with
this important office, and the manner in which he has fulfilled
it must not only give pleasure to Mr. Horsfall, but to all who
have come in contact with him. The sale, which had
anxiously been looked forward to, commenced on Wednesday
morning. There was a very large attendance, and everybody
expressed surprise at and delight with the interior and costly
fittings of Cavendish-house. Mr. Branch, in getting into the
desk, as preliminary to the proceedings, distinctly stated that
all the lots would be sold without reserve. This declaration
gave great satisfaction, the bidding commenced, and the busi-
ness of the day was concluded in a manner pleasing to every
one. On Thursday the sale included the works of art, and
although not numerous, we have never seen a better collection
—which not only proves that Mr. Horsfall is a man of wealth,
but what is far more rare and valuable, a gentleman of the most
refined taste. On Thursday a most fashionable company as-
sembled, and amongst them we noticed many connoisseurs; the
proceedings opened, and in a short time the beautiful pro-
ductions of the artist, which must have cost many years and
great care to collect, had once again changed owners. A pair
of bronze figures brought 16 guineas ; a beautiful circular
Sevres china tazza, brought 8i guineas; a silvered tea caddy,
8 guineas ; an inkstand, in ormolu, and silvered, enriched with
a finely-executed group, a cottage with child and dog, 8
guineas ; a beautifully executed miniature of Marie Antoinette
sold for 21 guineas ; two circular gothic vases brought 17
guineas ; a twelve-light chandelier, richly gilt and highly-
chased
throughout, brought 46 guineas ; a highly-finished
pedestal clock in form of a cathedral tower, sold for 22 guineas ;
a fine group in bronze, by P. J. Mene, representing an en-
counter between stags, went for 14 guineas; two figures,
bronze, 11 guineas. The paintings brought good prices. A
masterpiece, by David Roberts, " The Pyramid of Geezeh,"
was bought for 200 guineas ; and a very fine production, by
Corbould, entitled " The Britons Lamenting the Departure
of St. Paul," brought 100 guineas ; one of Collingwood's
works, " The Colosseum at Rome," sold for 31 guineas ; water-
coloured drawing by Gastineau and Richardson, produced each
85 and 00 guineas. Yesterday the superb contents of the
drawing and dining-rooms were brought forward, and met
with spirited competition. The sideboard brought 100 guineas:
the dining-tables, 81. guineas ; the chairs 5 and 10 guineas
each ; two centre tables, 72 guineas and 47 guineas ; two buhl
cabinets, 97 guineas; a papier macho table 20 guineas, and
flower table £l6 8s: ; the satinwood bedsteads and hangings;
70 guineas ; . the wardrobe, and toilet tables to match them,
about 165 guineas, which, with the articles in the vestibule,
concluded this interesting sale.
