THE LORI/BISHOP OF MAURITIUS IN LIVERPOOL.—
Yestetday, two sermons were preached in this tovfn by
the Rev. V. Ryan, D.D., lord bishop of Mauritius. In
the morning the Sermon. was Preached in. St. Mary's
Chnrch,.Edge-hill, and was-on behalf of the Mauritius
Diocesan Fund, The evening sermon was delivered in
,St... Stephen the Martyr's Church, Crown-street.; On
the latter occasion, the right reverend gentleman;took
for text the 14th- verse- of the sth chapter of St. Paul's
epistle to the EpheCians—" Awake thOte' that sletpest
and' arise from the. dead, and Christ will give ;thee
.FrOM. this ,pnssnge an impressive address was
preached, in, the .course of which the preacher com-
mented on the short continuance of the present life, and
urged, his hearers to go to the cross of the Saviour, that
they might be . quickened for the life 'to- come. He
snowed that the ,spiritual darkness alluded to by St
Paul was very prevalent inthis town. • He then alluded
to the Church Pastoral Aid Society- (on whose' behaff
the sermon was preached), and stated that its object
was to remove this darkness' and lead. the misguided
people now lying in sin to God. ...He .thought there was.
great reason for thankfulness that God had put it 'into •
the hearts of good men to found so noble a society..
The amount of spiritual destitution in iiierpooll was
enormous; in some. distriets-there..were;.lo,ooo Souls.
in a state of ignoranee'coneerning their eternal welfare:
The Pastoral Aid Society • had • made grea.t efforts-to 1.
remove this evil, and he was glad to say that (prod, had
been so far pleased to bless those efforts. At the con-
elusion of the sermon, a collection was, made for' the
society and a considerable sum was realised:" '
A QUARREL ABOUT TYE POPE.—At the County
Magistrates Court yesterdsh, Mary Mulligan-
