SPECIAL NIEETING OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK
COMMISSIONERB.—A special meeting of this body was held,
by adjournment, yesterday morning at nine o'clock, at the
commissioners' board-room, klami Iton.sq nen., for the purpose
of taking into consideration the proposal recently made to
them by the directors of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and
Cheshire Junction Railway, relative to the free working of
the Birkenhead Docks. J. Mallaby, Esq., in the chair.—
The Chairman having read the notice by which the meeting
had been called, remarked that it had been admitted on all
hands, at their former meeting, that it would be advisable
to communicate with the crown and the bondholders, on
the subject of the proposal which had been made to them
by the railway company, in order, if possible, to have
their consent to that arrangement. They had written
to both these parties, and from some of them answers had
been received. Ile had received an answer from Mr. Pem-
berton, the crown solicitor, and also from Crowder and
Maynard, representing on this matter, on the part of the
bondholders, only Baron Goldsmid , but they bad received
no answer from Mr. Bailey, or any other of the bondholders
of the trust. The chairman then read these letters, the pur-
port of which was, that if such an arrangement could
be legally entered into, and if the interest was full se-
cured to the bondholders, no serious objections would be
offered to the proposal by these parties; but, on the whole,
both letters were rather vague and too equivocal to allow of
the sommissioners saying that an approval of the proposition
had been given by either the crown or Crowder and
Maynard.—Mr. Potter was of opinion, however, that if both
parties were willing to accede to the proposal there would
be no difficulty in coming to a satisfactory arrangement.
—The Chairman said it was certain that the commissioners

would not consent to redoes their rates unless the railway
company guaranteed the 2,0001., taking all risks of the le-
gality of usiag the docks upon themselves.—Mr. Potter
thought that unless they could give the company, a guarantee
that they would have the use of the docks, he did not think
it would be right to expect the 2,0001. from them—The
Chairman observed if they consented now to this proposal,
and reduced the rates in consequence of it, they could not
well raise then, again, and therefore they would lose by the
transaction if the use of the docks was interfered with. He
should like, however, to have the consent of those parties
who were essentially interested in the matter before they
took any definite steps. Mr. Thompson did not
think that their assent was very necessary, and
put a motion approving of the proposition of
the railway company, and formally accepting it in
principle, leaving the details to be arranged by the committee
of works and the directors of the railway.—Mr. Potter wished
to put in, as an amendment, the words " subject to the ap-
proval of the bondholders;" but eventually it wu agreed
that the words " so far as we can legally do so," were added
to the motion, which was carried. Consequent upon the
adoption of the above resolution followed a discussion on the
reduction of the rates, when Mr. Wm. Laird moved the fol-
lowing resolution :—" That the tonnage rates to be levied
on foreign vesicle be reduced to 6d. per ton ; and on
coasting vessels to Id. per ton, from the prevent data."—
This motion having been seconded by Mr. Bryan',
some conversation ensued as to the proprety of entertaining
the question at the present meeting, there being a general
feeling in favour of an adjournment of the 'object, until
after the preliminary arrangements had been made be-
tween the committee of works and the directors of the
railway. Mr. Hicklin then moved " that the con-
sideration of the foregoing motion be adjourned till
Thursday next, at nine o'clock, A 31." On the question
being put, the amendment was carried. Mr. Bryan,
rose to submit a motion similar to that which was
withdrawn on the previous day of meeting, relative to
the disposition of the board to treat with any responsible
party who might be willing and competent to undertake
the fulfilment of their engagements, and to aware them •
fair remuneration for what they had already expended on
the works.—Mr. Potter having seconded the Motion, the
chairman moved as an amendment the following :
"That it is injudicious on the part of this board to intimate
that they will transfer their trust to any party. whatever till
adefinite proposal is made to them by the parties whose con-
sent is necessary to such an arrangement." This having
been seconded, souse conversation ensued, in which Matra
Potter, Thompson, and Hicklin took part. A division then
took place, when the amendment was carried by a majority
of sin.
ROBBERY IN LIVERPOOL.—On Wednesday week a
Mr. Green, in walking through Liverpool, either lost or was
robbed (as he believes when near Islington) of a pocket-
book, containing 8401. in bank post bills, bank-notes, and
bills of exchange. He had no consciousness at the time of a
robbery having been committed. Henry Airey end Ellen
Wilson, two characters who cohabit together, and aro well
known to the police, were yesterday brought before Mr.
Baskton, on suspicion of having committed the offence. On
the oaken stating they were about to search the room they
own:pled, 851. in gold was given up. The prisoners were
rememdied to see if further evidence can he obtained. Since
the prisoners' arrest it has been ascertained that two of the
notes bays been found by some children at the new Hay-
market, smile from the street where the robbery is supposed
to have taken place.
ROBBERY BY A POLlCEMAN.—Yesterday informa-
tion was circulated throughout the metropolitan police
force, that Thomas Hope Arrowomith, one of the Lancashire
constabulary, had absconded from the police-station at
Burnley with several large sums of money, which had been
officially entrusted to him. He was formerly a bombardier
in the Royal Artillery, from which he purchased his dis-
charge_ in March, 1846.
MANSLAUGHTER AT LIVERPOOL.—An inquest was
held on Wednesday before Mr. Corry, on the body of John
Towers. From the evidence of a witness named Taylor, it
appeared that deceased and the witness, together with amen
named George Smith, bad been drinking at a public-house
la Hood.street, and were wrestling together. Deceased, who
was very much intoxicated, afterwards threatened Smith,
and expressed a desire to fight him, when Smith struck him
a blow in the face which felled him to the ground. Witness
picked him up, and took him home to his wife, and assisted
him to bed. About half-past three the same morning de-
ceased's wife called witness, saying that he was dying.
In the course of the morning he got worse, and died at half-

SUICIDE.—On Wednesday morning tut appalling
discovery was made by the lock-keeper on the canal,. at
Saltley. While in the exercise of his daily duty, he disco-
vered the body of a gentleman floating in the water, imme-
diately under the bridge, sod having obtained the assistance
of Police-constable Edwards, the unfortunate deceased was
speedily brought to shore, when it was found that his throat
was cut from ear to ear, in the moat determined manner. On
his person was found a 51. Bank of England note, a gold
watch, a sovereign, some silver, and a banking book, from
which it was speedily ascertained that the unfortunate gen-
tleman was Mr. Thomas lAidlaw, of Vauxhall-grove, who
was engaged as a clerk at the Baldry Works. The body is
now lying at the Shepherd and Shepherdess, Salary, and
the impression is that the lamentable occurrence is the result
of premeditated suicide. The unfortunate deceased was on
the point of maniacs.
THE Cottcnint's IsQrtsmoN upon the body of the
man murdered in Birmingham on Saturday (and reported in
Monday's Express) his not yet terminated; but so far an
the evidence has proceeded, there have been no additional .
facts adduced to those already published by us.
WORCEATEKSIIIRE.
SEVERAL I)F,STRUCTIVE FIRES have taken place
within the last few days in different parts of the county. On
Thursday last, about the middle of the day, a stark in the
rickyard of Mr. William Billies, of Burlington, near Shiff-
nall, was discovered to he on fire, which quickly spread to
the adjoining stacks, and in a short space of time the whole
of the immense range of 27 stacks of wheat, barley. oats, and
a quantity of hay, was entirely consumed. The fire is sup-
posed to have originated in consequence of a lad, who was
employed to serve the thatcher, playing with some lucifer
matches, under the stack which the man was covering. The
damage is estimated at nearly 2,0001. The property de-
stroyed was insured in the Birmingham, and the Birming-
ham District fire-office, to the extent, we hear, of 1 0001.
each.—A fire took place on the farming premises at Milton-
hall, which burnt a considerable quantity of hay, the ore-
perty of C. M. Adams, Esq.—The farming premises at Wol-
verley-hall, near Wetn, have also been burnt. torether with
their content., consisting of a large quantity of wheat and
barley ; the buildings were the property of Major Dickin.
The total damage is estimated at about 6501.

FAREWELL DINNER OF— THE LIGHT DIVISION TO
Sus Haunt Sums.—Nearly 100 offieen of the Light
Division entertained Sir Harry Smith at dinner, at the
George Hotel, Portsmouth, on Wednesday evening, as a
last mark of their respect previous to his departure to the
scene of his new duties. On the health of the gallant officer
being drunk, which it was with every honour and emana-
tion of enthusiasm, he replied in a somewhat lengthened
address, the principal topic of which was, of course. the Light
Division, its valuable services to the country, and the honour
they conferred on him, both on that and en the former occa-
sion when he was entertained by them io London ; but
more than 11 by calling him a comrade of the division,which
be considered the highest eulogium of all. Speaking of the
high opinion entertained of the division by the Duke of Wel-
lington, who had spoken of there as always ready to fight,
even after the most arduous duty, be said, " My comrades,
beliive me, the first duty of • soldier is to destroy his enemy,
while he sues himulf." But I glory not in that
or upid courage which mites down men, and makes
what we call a " butcher's bill." He is the best officer
who does most with the least loss of human life.
He went on to state his belief that although they looked
back to the deeds of glory of the ancient Light Division, the
present division was as glorious in a moral point of view, for
there wa.s no punishment in it now as there used to be. lie
said—Believe me the tone of courage is taken from the offi-
cers : whatever the conduct of offieers is, such will be the
soldiers. And, gentlemen, if you knew the feeling of British
soldiers in the field—if you viewed as eften se I have the
triumphant bayonet, marching equally triumphant over the
enemy, then would your devoted services be for the comforts
and happiness of your men. Do not let it be
supposed, gentlemen, because I talk of the comforts and
happiness of the men, that I am ens of those officers whom,
I regret to say, exist in the present day, that have a kind of
twaddle talking about the " poor soldier." In the country
I am spine to, I regret to hear it is said, "The poor sol-
dier sleeps here, and sleeps there—the poor soldier wants
this, and wants that." It is the duty of every officer to pro-
vide to the utmost for the comfort of his men; .but when
comforts are not to be had, bad luck to the shilling! And,
my gallant officers, believe me, our soldiers are equally
gallant men, and when these comforts are not to be had,
they don't call themselves "poor soldiers "—they call them
selves the glorious soldiers in the service of her Majesty,
meeting the hardships and toils of English military life—
such u exist in the frontiers of the land I am going to—with
that degree of moral courage with which they encounter the
enemies of their country. The pliant officer concluded his
speech by bidding them all a hearty farewell, and sat down
amidst tremendous cheering. The health of Lady Smith
followed, in addition to a round of toasts of the usual
character.

ALLEGED POISONING AT IVERTON.—The wife of a
man named Richard Taylor, who died at Tiverton about a
fortnight ago, has been taken into custody in consequence of
evidence adduced at two inquests on the body, held before
Mr. Leigh, at Stubborn Farm.—Mr. Philip Haley, surgeon,
deposed that he had known the deceased for nearly 14 years
On Saturday the 28th ultimo, he wee sent for to see him.
He went to the house at eleven o'clock, and found de-
ceased dead. He saw Ann, his widow, and Mary Hodge, and
he inquired what time he expired. The latter replied,
"Why, about half-past 6 that morning." He then asked
under what circumstances he died. The wife then looked
at ;her sinter, who replied, "Oh, eery quietly." Having
examined the body, he felt surprised at its extreme coldness,
and was not satisfied as to the cause of death.—Miss Par.
tridge, of Woodford, in Telbridge, said that the deceased had
been in her service for many years. About three months
since he married, and then went to reside at Stubborn farm.
At that period she owed him about 61., which he left in her
hands, along with some other articles. On the Friday before
his decease, he called upon witness, and told her not to let
any of his property go out of her house. The following
morning his wife called, and said that her husband was very
ill, and he had sent her fur his wages. She refused to pay
the money.—Thomas Commits, the parish-clerk, said that on
the Friday morning the deceased called upon him, and said
" that there had been some difference between his wife and
himself, and that she had left him and taken awayhis pocket-
book and papers." He thou appeared in good health. The
next day witness heard of his death.—Mr. Haley, having
been instructed to open the body, stated the result, which
proved that deceased had died from arsenic.—Mr. S. Wood,
druggist, of Tiverton, said that at the latter end of July, or
the beginning of Aaiun, two females came to his house and
purchased half an ounce of arsenic. The woman who paid
for the poison he believed to be the deceased's widow.—
Mary Hodge said that she -was present when the deceased
died. She attempted to give; him some tea his wife had
made for him, but he could not drink it on account of having
the rattles in his throat. After his death she and her
sister washed the floor over because it was very dusty.
—Ann Taylor, after having been cautioned by the coroner,
made the following statement On the 2Gth ult., Thursday,
my husband went harvesting in the field. He then ar peered
very well in health, and was exceedingly cheerful. The
same evening he came home about ten minutes before the
others, and told me to go in the field and ask the men whe-
ther they could cut the rest of the corn. There were at that
time working in the field William Hawks, Thomas Leach,
and Richard Hedge. I went, and asked them as my hus-
band had directed. They said they could not cut the corn.
When I came back the deceased was standing in the gate-
way washing himself. I then went up the road, followed
by Thomas Leach. My husband then got very angry, and
said that Thomas Leach had been kissing me. I cannot tell
whether be did or did not kiss me. My husband then re-
fused to have any supper with the harvest-folks, and went to
bed. Thomas Leach, my brother, and Richard Hodge went
to supper together. After supper they sat drinking cider till
two o'clock the following morning. I sat up with them.
They were not tipsy. About two o'clock my brother drove
Leach, Hodge, and myself to the Black Dog inn ; my
husband was at that time in bed. On Friday night deceased
weal to bed very unwell. Ha put some herbs in the skillet,
and I poured some water on them. About one o'clock on
Saturday morning I get up in consequence of his purging
and coughing. I went down stairs and made him some tea.
He drank part of a cup. I then called my brother, and told
him to fetch my sister. After she came, I went to Woodford.
When I was returning I met a messenger, who told me that
my husband was dead. I have not been at Tiverton for some
time past. I never went to any druggist's shop. lam sure
my husband never purchased as thing to kill rats. My
husband had vomited a little before he died, and after Ism
death I and Mary Hodge washed the floor with hot water.
That is all I know about the death." The jury returned a
verdict, " That the deceased died from the effects of poison,
but by whom administered there was not sufficient evidence
for them (the jury) to determine." The accused, who has
undergone one examination. stands remanded.

CLSSOTJUN, Rev. A. VICART, B. A.
The organisation of the Romiab church, and its
a~taency, were naturally the objects which most inte-
rested Mr. Vicary at Rome, and to the investigation
al which be brought the greatest amount of prase-
atonal alolL lie throws some curious light upon diem.
It appears from his statement that the readopt to

dear tie is transferred from them, with tits mutual trout* to their
church. Strong and habitual aa these restraints are, it in a question
worthy of eondilerotion whether the end in view is attained, and if
the priests are equally qualified by study, as by inclination, for the
ministry.

We trust we are free from any lurking protestant
bias—we certainly are not aware that any such is in
play—when we remark that this mode of training
seems better adapted to produce Tartaffes than effi-
cient and really pious pastors. The pride of profession
must inevitably be developed before the sense of its
responsibilities. If the boy looks back with such
eager longing as Mr. %leery describes at sports he
may not openly join in, what must the youth do when
stronger passions awaken in his breast? Free choice
of a vocation is forbid to him ; he must find out whe-
ther he is fitted for it after his lot is inevitably fixed.
The frivolities of external deportment are made to
appear of undue weight to him, and no care is taken
to ascertain whether he is not driven on to
take vows beyond his powers of self-control to keep.
The number of men thus trained, and the conven-
tional respect that is paid to them, cannot fail to
exercise a prejudicial effect on the tone of Roman
society so far as manliness and sincerity—the stocks
on which all other virtues must be grafted—are
concerned.

The machinery provided for keeping up the influ-
ence of Rome throughout its wide spiritual domains
is thus described and commented on by Mr. Vicary
The College of the Propagation of the Faith is on an extensive scale.
Its front extends towards the Piaui. di Ppagna. In the construction,
accommodation has been consulted rather than ornament. Here there
are mecums of almost all languagee, in which young men are in-
, uructed Inc the ministry. end rent peon foreign miasions. The wealth
of this college is unbounded; and it is all expended for the purpose of
increasing the omnibus iif the church. A cardinal mike in
the house, and is 'prefect' or president, with a long string
of officers under him. The scholars vary from two to four
hundred, and are of all nations. I have seen Jews of Asia Minor,
Aft Mani, and even a Chinese, in the academical dress--a long
gown with a rel border. I attended a rehearsal, which takes plane
upon every Epiphany, in the theatre. The youths had ench a written
subject, which they in their turn read aloud to the audience. The !
number of languages, to which tome dialects were, however, added,
wan forty nine. Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Hebrew, Irish, were among
the number. They acquiited themselves well, and thawed how per.
kat is that system of education, which is pursued in the establishment •
When they are complete masters of the language, and have received
eider., they proceed upon their minion ; and, u they are generally
accomplished men, they are no doubt successful This college has
ever been the favourite of the Popes, and the great engine of conver-
sion. It was established for the very purpose of supplying a superior
Maw of ministers, not so much to ooeohat the poisiuons of the re-
former,, an to cowoterbalonne the inroads they have made upon the
church, by f resh accessions in other lamb,. Hence, India and the
racier are supplied from this sauce; and from their knowledge of
the tongues of the people to whom they are sent, joined also to an
acquaintance with their character, we cannot be au rued if they are
baviorably received, and that the more they hare in band programa
am surprised that we have not taken a leaf from their book, and en,
tabtished a similar institution, and for a similar purpose. The Ides la
an admirable one : to have minister', as it were, of all nations, ready
to tale whatever post the exigency of the times or peculiar Mecum-
amuses demand. The Jews gave greater heed to Paul when he spoke
in Hebrew; and so will every new people listen with attention to the
teacher conversant with their native language. The miesionary often
gem abroad and defers learning the language of the country until be
has arrived within Ito Ilraita—a method by which time L. Eat and
trouble blamed. The true plan Is that of the Propaganda. IN
abifitles of the pupil are consulted, and from an early age he Is re •
quired to give Ma pole attention to one of the Lantern language., so
that he is able at length to express himself as fluently in that lad in
his mother tongue. They go upon their minions with ardour, and
fearlessly make their way among savage and uncivilised people,
the past and present history of this institution amply attests.
Mere skill in languages will not suffice to make
successful missionaries. Even enthusiasm and sincere
devotion to the cause combined with that accomplish-
ment are unavailing, unless conjoined with other
qualifications. Ecclesiastics trained from infancy as
above described cannot fail to be deficient in the ne-

ceasary robustness and versatility of character. We
would back the ardent elites of Maynooth against
them in their own church ; and with a fair field and
no favour can scarcely imagine their carrying on a
successful competition against the volunteers of our
protestant dissenters. This with reference to un-
civilised tribes. Among civilised and educated nations
the modern eleres of the Propaganda may do to keep
within the pale of their church those who have been
brooghtup in it, butwith the exception of some bookish
dreamers, and effeminate minds craving excitement,
they have little chance with the pupils of any alien
sect. Not thus were the missionaries trained who
carried the Roman Catholic faith into Ethiopia,
China, and the isles of ocean, before the Protestant
churches had been awakened to the duty of ° teach-
ing all nations." The Xavier!, and other devoted
teachers of this class, were men before they were
priests—and they were all the better priests in
consequence.
The movement at present in progress in Italy is
exclusively political. Nothing could be more inju-
rious than to allow it to be complicated with religious
considerations. Bat it is impossible to shut one's
eyes to the fact that some movement in the Romish
church, as well as the Romish state, is impending. At
the commencement of the Lutheran reformation not

a few, even among the dignitaries of the Romish
church, were well disposed to make concessions to the
advancing enlightenment of the age. That each con-
cessions were not made was owing perhaps more to
the rotten borough influence of the Italian clergy,
who feared the loss of their preponderance in the
councils of the ecclesiastical metropolis, than to the
anti-reforming spirit of the body of the church out-
side of the Alps. The awakening of a national spirit
in Italy, as opposed to Austrian domination and
French intrigue, may reverse the charm and make
the Italian members of the church take the lead in
adapting it to the tone and temper of the age.
This, however, is not to be looked for on the part
of the hierarchy, who will, at most, comply with the
solicitations of the body of believers in communion
with them. Neither will it be the result of the pro-
pagandism of any other sect : that arouses the spirit
of contradiction and makes men seek for reasons to
adhere to their belief. The reform of the Romish
church mast be the work of the members of that
church :it must begin within itself. And we cannot
believe that the day is far distant when the better
educated and more manly intellects within it will
call for the abolition of puorilities inherited from the
childish ages of barbarism—puerilities which may be
abrogated without affecting essentials, and which, like
everything trivial in connexion with religion, exer-
cise a noxious influence on the minds of men.

An apt illustration of the class of appendages we
refer to is afforded by Mr. Vicary's description of a
picture he saw at Lucca, which, together with his
comment, we subjoin:
