NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.

ACCIDENT.—John Andley; srlabouret, abbitt thirty
years of age, residing at RawthOrne-square, sustained
a very severe compound fracture of the right leg, by
a bar of iron falling upon it yesterday at the north dock
station of the-Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. He
was removed to the Northern Hospital.
THE STANLEY LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY.
—The weekly meeting of the above society was held at
their rooms, Bible Repository, Slater-street, on Wednes-
day evening last, at eight o'clock, when the following
subject was discussed, viz., "Are Theatrical Entertain..
meats prejudicial to Public Morals ?" Mr. Waddington
opened the debate in the affirmative, and Mr. Moore in
the negative; there being a large attendance, the debate
was conductd with great animation, and carried in the
negative by an overwhelming majority. At the close of
the,proceedings, the Secretary announced that on Wed-
nesday evening next they would discuss the question,
" Ought Church-Rates to be abolished ?"

T}i'n GREAT . EAST ERN. —lf ever there was an ob-
ject, to which circumstances have attached an extraordi-
nary interest, that object is the Great Eastern. Totally
irrespective of the attractions she possesses in herself,
as the greatest naval wonder of this or any other age,
the late accident has invested her with a reputation,
which, in itself, is a source of no common attraction.
The two elements combined make her the most coveted
object to the curious in existence. We perceive that this
general feeling has been taken advantage of ; for the
Stork, a very powerful and capacious steamer, has been
engaged, we find, to carry passengers to and from the
great Lauding-stage to the Great Eastern, during her
stay at Holyhead. The first trip will be made on Tues-
day, the Stork starting from her station precisely at
8 o'clock, a.m. Every means have been adopted to ren-
der the passage comfortable and agreeable. The fare is
moderate, and the trip, on all grounds, promises to be
enjoyable.

TREAT TO SCHOOL CIIILDKEN.—On Tuesday last the
numerals scholars attending the Sunday and day schools
of St. Paul's Church, Edmund-street, had a beautiful
day to recreate themselves. The excellent superintendent,
Mr. Lowe, having availed himself of the privilege so
kindly granted by the proprietors of the New Brighton
ferry boats, of conveying the children of the Liverpool
church schools over from Liverpool and back gratuitously,
marshalled all the scholars at ten o'clock, numbering
upwards of 300, at the schools, whence they proceeded
to the South Ldnding-stage, where a steamer was in
readiness to convey them across. After their arrival,
and being well supplied with buns and sweet milk, fruit,
&c., they continued their various amusements up to two
o'cock, when they were sumptuously regaled with the
above requisites, Mr. Lowe and the teachers ministering
to them abundantly. At five o'clock the whole party
returned, carrying their flags, and tiaging lustily, "Rule
Britannia," and other favourite airs. The day was
spent in a most harmonious way ; and it is but justice
here to remark, that the great accession of children to
these school.s latterly is mainly owing to the care and
attention that are bestowed upon them, not only by the
superintendent and teachers, but also by the officiating
clergymen of St. Paul's, the Rev. Messrs. Stafford and
Reade, who take the liveliest interest in their spiritual
and temporal welfare.
MARRIAGE AT ROCK FERRY.—Yesterday, Rock
Ferry and the neighbourhood were the scene of great
rejoicings on the celebration of holy matrimony between
William Potter, Esq. (son of our respected townsman,.
William Potter, Esq., of the firm of Taylor, Potter,
and Co.), and the amiable and accomplished eldest
daughter of the Rev. Thomas Fisher Redhead, the
esteemed incumbent of Rock Ferry. At six o'clock in
the morning the church bells rang out a merry peal, which
was repeated at intervals during the morning. The
wedding party left the residence of the fair bride shortly
before ten o'clock, in eight carriages. An evergreen
arch, adorned with flowers, was placed across the en-
trance of the lane leading to the church. Flags and
streamers were hung from side to side of the road.
Crowds of persons, of all ranks, assembled on the foot-
walks, and at the church doors. The church itself was
filled to overflowing with an earnest and attentive con-
gregation, who spontaneously met together to testify, in
this solemn mode, their deep and abiding regard
for its worthy bride and bridegroom, and their
wishes for their future, happiness. There were
six lovely bridesmaids ; and amongst the imme-
diate friends of the parties, we observed the bride-
groom's father, J. W. Harden, Esq., Judge of the Bir-
kenhead County Court ; Joseph Livingstone, Esq. ;
Robinson, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, and other influ-
ential persons. When the foremost members of the
wedding party arrived at the church door, Mr. W. H.
Crew, organist of the church, played an appropriate
voluntary, which was followed by the Old Hundredth
Psalm, sung with great effect by the choir, the congre-
gation joining heartily. The service throughout was a
full choral one, the amateur choir being aided by several
lady and gentlemen volunteers. Four clergymen
officiated. The bride was given away by her father.
Dr. Clarke Whitfield's " Wedding Anthem" (128th
Psalm) was" sung with great effect. The verse
part, particularly, was admirably sustained. The

".
Deus Misereatiit" was chanted in unison to a
simple Gregorian tone, the " Gloria" alone being har-
monised. The versicles were adapted from Tallis's

well-known service, and the full and solemn enunciation
of the " Amens" gave an impressive character to the
devotional service. At the conclusion of the ceremonial,
Mendelssohn's " Wedding March " was played in ex-
cellent style on the organ, and Mr. and Mrs. William
Potter and their friends retired from the church amidst
the ringing of bells, showering of boquets, and loud
and hearty acclamations of delighted crowds of people.
