SABBATH DEFENCE MOVEMENT

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—lt is said that the late Mr. Joseph Hume
expressed the opinion, that as the pictures in
the National Gallery, and the objects
in the British Museum, were paid for out of the
public purse, and that as the labouring population
were contributors to that purse, it should not be
denied to them the only period of the week when
they could conveniently view such collections,
namely, the Sunday after morning service, and
that at twelve o'clock on that day he would open
instructive, useful exhibitions to the public, at the
same time as the beer shops are opened, thus giv-
ing. the people the option of which they would
frequent.

I once had the misfortune'to spend a wet Sunday in
London, and haves ill fresh in my memory, though
several years ago, what a dreary range of desolate
streets there was, and how comfortable and tempt-
ing-looking were the gin palaces, brilliantly
illuminated. Can it be xvondered at if poor
people turn into public-houses for warmth and
refreshment, when all is cold, wet, and comfortless
without? It may be said, perhaps, that the people
might go to church on such a day as I describe ;
but you cannot be in church all day, and if you do
go, you are liable to hear such wretched twaddle,
called a sermon, which no thinking man can listen
to with satisfaction.

;I hese vessels are built specially fur this trade, and combine
splendid accommodation for passengers, with great capacity for
cargo.

Far be it from me to cast any slight on public
worship, but I say, that as now carried out in our
churches, it is either tedious and ineffective, or elso
made repulsive, by hearing a man from a pulpit
abusing other sects.

It is my firm conviction, Mr. Editor, that a
virtuous, honest, sober-minded, working man, who
has the real Christian religion in him, not forced
into him by creeds or threats, but the spirit of
Christ implanted within him, such a man, I say,
bringing up a family in the paths of sobriety,
honesty, and virtue, sheds a lustre in the sphere in
which he moves, and by his bright influence and
example, even though he does take his family a
walk on a Sunday instead of going to church, does
more real good than any rhapsody that ever
emanated from the pulpit of any learned doctor or
divine in this town, yes, or than whole bushels of
tracts.

I must apologise for encroaching on your valua-
ble columns, but I see so much hollowness in the
religion of many of our so-called " saints," that I
cannot help availing myself of your excellent me-
dium for exposing it.—Yours, &c., ONWARD.

PRIVATE FERRIES, v. MR. LOWE'S BILL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

Sir,—Both the writer and others have frequently had
occ9sion to crave a limited space in the columns of your
widely circulated journal, for the purpose of exposing the
pernicious practices of ferry monopolists, and also to elicit
the aid of the press in remedying so great an evil, alike
detrimental to the interest, convenience, and comfort of the
public, as injurious to the owners of property situate proxi-
mate to, and in a great measure dependant upon, the fre-
quent facilities of transit from thence to Liverpool.
Hitherto every effort of the inhabitants to enforce amend-
ment has proved abortive, the proprietors of such ferries
proving themselves inexorable to entreaty, and proof against
threats, consequently matters remain in a state of strati quo.
The main stay of their independence rests upon the tact,
that the ferries are manorial right, hereditary property ; and
that no power, whether private, municipal, or parliamentary
has a right to interfere with, or abolish their hereditary
privileges. _ _

The claim of the corporation of Liverpool to the exaction
of town dues having the same basis, and the subject now
occupying the prominent attention of the legislature, it
hPboves all interrested parties to watch the progress of Mr.
Lowe's bill.

If the claim of the corporation of Liverpool is founded
upon the hereditary right of the individual from whom it
w-s originally purchased, and such right can be abrogated
by an act of parliament, on the plea that the monopoly is
adverse to the interest of shipowners, and the welfare of the
community, the same plea will hold relatively good with
respect to manorial right monopoly and house-owners,
tradesmen, labourers, merchants, &c., and the same powers
must be available for its extinction. I trust the foregoing
remarks will rouse the attention of interested parties, and
receive the advocacy of the NORTHERN TIMES.—Yours,
W. E. EDWARDS.
Poolton, Cheshire, 6th February, 18,56.

The Northern Bee of San. 26, a journal published at
St. Petersburg, contains the following passage :—" May
God grant us peace ; but, should it not be concluded,
Russia still has at her disposal sufficient means of resist-
ance to repel her enemies with energy. Russia desires
peace, but she does not fear war " In the same number
of the Northern Bee it is said :—" As regards France, it
may be positively affirmed that the French nation loves
and respects the Russians. The French prisoners, on
their part, have been treated like brothers."

MILITARY DISTINCTIONS.—We understand that Dr.
Andrew Smith, Director-general of the Army Medical
Department, and Dr. John Hall, chief of the Medical
Staff in the East, are to receive the dignity of K.C.B.
and that several other members of the Army Medical
Department will be made C.B.'s. The Grand Cross of
the Legion of Honour is to be conferred on Viscount
Hardinge, Sir James Simpson, and Sir Edmund Lyons.
The rank of Commander of the Order on Sir *John
Burgoyne. Sir George Brown, Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir
Houston Stewart, Sir Harry Jones, and other officers.
Among those designated to the rank of Chevalier of
the Order are Sir Richard England, the Earl of
Lucan, Sir. H. Bentinck, Sir Cohn Campbell, Sir John
Pennefather, the Earl of Cardigan. Sir William J. Cod-
rington, Sir Richard Airey, Sir R. Dacres, Sir James
Scarlett, Sir George Buller, Sir William Eyre, and Major-
General Windham. A large number of regimental officers
and men will receive minor decorations of the Order, and
we understand those who have served continuously from
the commencement of the war will be especially consi-
dered.----Court Journal.

THE IRISH JunicrAr. BE'eCH.—A report has been cur-
rent for some few days past in Dublin, the accuracy of
which, although strongly insisted upon in some quarters,
can by no means be vouched for as being anything more
substantial than a re-hash of rumours which have pre-
vailed, in agreater or less degree, every day since the open-
ing of Michaelmas Term in November last. The report
in its new form is, however, in every man's mouth, and is
to the effect that a correspondence of another disagreeable
nature has taken place between the Lord Chancellor
(Brady) and the venerable Baron Pennefather, having
reference to the motion about to be submitted to the
House of Commons by an English member, with respect
to the ages and length of service of the present occupants
of the Irish judicial bench. Without paying any attention
to the alleged substance of the communications which have
passed between the two high legal functionaries, it will be
quite enough to mention as the upshot of the business that
the affair did not terminate to the satisfaction of the
Chancellor, although his lordship, in the course of the
correspondence, pretty plainly hinted at the probability of
the government being coerced by the force of public
opinion to offer no opposition to the motion of Sir John
Shelley.

ITALY.—A. letter from Rome, of the 22nd ult. says :
"The Pope, yesterday, celebrated the holiday of St. Agnes
in the church dedicated to her in the Piazza Navone. :on
the very spot on which the church stands, she, according
to the legend, was miraculously protected from the insults
of two drunken soldiers, by her hair suddenly growing so
as to cover her entirely as in impenetrable armour. The
Academy of the Propaganda, in honour of the Epiphany,
held its annual fete of languages on tho 13th and 14th.
The ostensible object of these fetes is to celebrate in
poetry and prose, in all the languages of the world, the
mystery of the adoration of the Magi ; but, in order to
avoid the monotony of the same subject treated year after
year for centuries, one of the most striking religious
events of the year is selected. Thus, last year, the adop-
tion of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was
celebrated, and this year the subject chosen was the pro-
vidential escape of the Pope, the Cardinals, and the
pupils of the Propaganda in the accident on the 12th of
April in-the monastery of St. Agnes. This interesting
subject was treated with a good deal of spirit and variety.
The first poem read was in Hebrew, and dwelt on the joy
of Satan at the danger of the Pontiff and the pupils. The
second was a hymn in ancieat and modern Chaldean on
the saving of the Pope. Then were recited in succession
a prayer of the fallen in Syriac ; an expression of
Eternal gratitude,' in Armenian ; Fulness of the heart,'
by an Arab ; 'Presents of the rescued missionary,' by a
Chinese ; the Delightful spectacle of the Pontiff and his
companions being saved,' in Georgian ; the annual pro-
cession in memory of the accident of the 12th April,' by a
Peruvian; Two visions showing Satan preparing her
vengeance,' by a Kurd; the Souvenir of the Rescue,' by
a Hindoo ; Satan flying from the ruins of St. Agnes,
when disappointed in his hopes,' by a Turk ; Three pre-
sents from his brethren,' by a native of the Soudan ; and,
lastly, two Cophts of Memphis and Thebes, sang the
who consoles Zion and repairs all

languages of Europe, commencing by modern Greek and

DOCK COMMITTEE.-YESTERDAY.

..........,„.____,._._

The usual weekly meeting of this committee was held
at one o'clock, yesterday, at the Dock-offices; Mr. Charles
Turner, chairman, in the chair. Other members present
Messrs. F. Shand, Robinson, Brocklebank, Chaloner
Rounthwaite, Robertson Gladstone, Lockett, Littled ale,
Barber, Mondel, Holden, Rathbone, Anderson, Hub-
back, Rankin, Smith, Palmer, J. Holme, and Evans.
The sub-committee of works, recommended that the
tender of Messrs . Thomas Vernon and Son, for the con-
struction of two wrought-iron girder-bridges, to be
erected at the North Docks Railway ; of Messrs.
Johr and Thomas Thompson, for supplying steam
and house coal for two years; and of Mr. D. Chadwick,
for the supply of half-a-ton of yarn, &c., be accepted.--
Confirmed.

The marine sub-committee recommended that £25
be given as a final grant to the widow of Cohn Edward,
late second master of the Crosby light-ship, and that a
new boat, twenty-one feet long, be provided for the ship,
—Confirmed:

The harbour's committee recommended that £1 be
given to William Martin, gateman, for saving the life of
a woman who fell into the dock.—Confirmed.

A letter was read from Mr. Robert Lamont, requesting
to be informed what the cost would be fir whitewashing
the roof of the shed occupied as a permanent berth by
his company, in connection with Messrs. Burns and
slaclver, and also the principle on which the committee
refused to do it themselves.

Mr. Lockett replied that the committee had refused on
the principle, that as it 'was a permanent berth, the
parties who occupied it should do the work ; and also,
because though the expense in this instance would be
small, yet if it were granted, the committee would be
called on to do the same to every shed in connection
with the docks.

Mr. Rounthwaite thought it paltry economy, and not
worthy of them as a public body, to refuse a request
which was in itself so proper. He did not think that
the fact of its being a permanent berth, affected the
principle. The question should be, was the work
necessary for the efficiency of the shed ? He thought it
was, and besides that, the request should have been
granted because of other work having been done to the
sed at the instance of Messrs. Burns and Maclver.
Mr. Mandel observed, that by not whitening the sheds
they shortened the working time in the day, during the
winter months, fully an hour. He, therefore, thought
was bad economy not to do that which was essential
to their thorough efficiency.
Mr. Gladstone said, that the privilege of having
special appropriated berths, was a great advantage to any
company,

that if the law enabled them to put special berths up to
auction, they would get a large sum over and above the
'Mt

anddisn , return it w

rates for the privilege.

The Surveyor, in reply to the chairman said, that the
expense in this instance would be £l4, but that if all the
sheds were to be whitewashed, say once every two years,
the cost would be between £4OO and £5OO. He thought
it would be injurous to whitewash the roofs.i

...
No resolution was come to in the matter, but the
secretary was directed to inform Mr. Lamont, of the
principle on which his request had been refused, and the
estimated cost of the work.

A letter was read from Mr. W. Evans, complaining that
the tender of Messrs. Conway and Co. for clothing, had
been accepted, though his oiler was lOs per suit less. He
imputed no partiality to the committee, but declared that
as he believed foul play existed somewhere, an investiga-
tion into the matter would be welcomed by him, and
other tradesmen of the town.

Mr. Lockett said, that the committee had no reason to
doubt the integriy and impartiality of the gentleman
who examined the samples, but in order to prevent any
suspicion for the future, they had resolved to put their
own private marks on the goods, before submitting them
for inspection.

A letter from Mr R. J. Sibbald, requesting permission
:o place on the landing-stage, his ship-communicator and
ife-buoy, was referred to the marine committee.
This concluded the general business.
