The bond-holders had refused to agree to the terms otiereu,
and that decision having been communicated to .the Liverpool
town council, a letter had been [received from the town-clerk,
announcing that the bill would be withdrawn !

THE FERRY COMMITTEE.
The proceedings of this committee wore confirmed. The
usual accounts had not been made up.
The meeting then separated.

While Lcndon was agitated by the news that a plot had
been discovered, George Fox, the founder of the sect of
Quakers died. More than forty years had elapsed since Fox
had begun to see visions and to cast out devils, He was
then a youth of pure morals and grave deportment, with a
perverse temper, with the education of a labouring man,
and with an intellect in the most unhappy of all states,
that is to say, too much disordered for liberty, and
not sufficiently disordered for Bedlam. The circum-
stances in which he was placed were such as could
scarcely fail to hring out in the strongest form
the constitutional diseases of his mind. At the time
when his faculties were ripening, episcopalians, presbyte-
rians, independents, baptists, were striving for mastery,
and were, in every corner of the realm, refuting and reviling
each other. He wandered from congregation to congregation.
He heard Priests harangue against Puritans ; he heard
Puritans harangue against Priests ; and he in vain applied
for spiritual direction and consolation to doctors of both
parties. One jolly old clergyman of the Anglican
communion told him to smoke tobacco and sing psalms ;
another advised him to go and lose some blond. The young
inquirer turned •in disgust from these advisers to the
dissenters, and found them also blind guides. After some
time he came to the conclusion that no human being was
competent to instruct him in divine things, and that the
truth had been communicated to him by- direct inspiration
from Heaven. He argued that, as the division of languages
began at Babel, and as the persecutors of Christ put on
the cross an inscription in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, the
knowledge of languages, and more especially of Latin,'
Greek, and Hebrew, must be useless to a Christian minister.
Indeed, he was so far from knowing many languam°ea, that•
he knew none; nor can the most corrupt passage in Hebrew
be more unintelligible to. the unlearnecl, than his. English
often is to the most acute and attentive reader. One of the
precious troths which were divinely revealed to this new
apostle was, that it was falsehood,and adulation to use the
second person plural instead of the second person singular.
Another was, that to talk of the month of Marcia was tc
worship the bloodthirsty god Mars, and ,that to talk c

days and bad nights! A -Chrfslian was bound to face death
itself rather than touch his hat to the greate,st of mankind.
When Fox was challenged to prodwie any Scriptural
authority for his dogma, lie cited the passage in which it is
written that Shadracb, Meshed, and Abednego were
throivu into the fiery furnace with their hats on ;
and, if his own narrative may be trusted, the Chief
Justice of England was altogether unable to answer
this argument, evept by crying out, " Take him
away, gaoler." Fox insisted much on the not less
weighty argument that the Turks never show their bare
heads to their superiors ; and he asked, with great aniina-
tion, whether those who bore the noble name of Christians
ought not to surpass Turks in virtue, 13.1 wing he strictly
prohibited, and, indeed, seemed to consider it as the effect
of Satanical influence., for, as he observed, the woman in

TO THE UNITED STATES MA.In.
dTEAMER • ArrANTlC.—Considerable sensation prevailed.
through town on Monday, in consequence of a report that
was current respecting the Atlantic steamer, which sailed
from this port on Saturday, for New York, with the
mails, &c. This report originated in consequence of the
following telegraphio message received at the under-
writers :—" Cork, Dec. 31,1855—Coming in,United States,
mail steamer—two masts, no head, black funnel and red
top, supposed to be the Atlantic, from Liverpool to New
York." Up to a late hour in the evening, the anxiety in
reference to the vessel was considerable, but a teleorap)ic
communication had the 'effect of allaying all' fears.
On the receipt :of which intelligence, public anxiety was
set at rest.

THE MANCRESTER STrtiKE.—The strike of spinners and
piecers at Manchester continues, but at one of the mills sir
operatives resumed work on Thursday, and three more on
Friday. This was at the mill of, Mr. J: Clarke, in Helena-
street, and the consequence was that great excitement
prevailed on Friday among the turnouts, and on that day at
noon one of the " knobsticks" was followed from the mill
to his house, and assailed with throats and abuse. In re-
turning from his dinner stones were thrown at him. On
Saturday, Thomas Limerick, a spinner, was brought here
the magistrates, charged With having taken a leading part
in this intimidation and violence. A spinner named William
Gutteridge stated that he was working tit Mr. Clarke's
mill, and left it at one o'clock to go home to dinner,-. Ife
was followed by the prisoner Limerick and 'others, who
asked him if he meantto leave his work and join the strike f
