CHARITY SERMON IN ST. MICHAEL'S.'YESTERDAY.—
The annual sermon on behalf of the Liverpool Church
of England Schdol Society was preached yesterday in
St. Michael's, Church, Upper Pitt-street, by the Rev.
C, A. Thurlow, Chancellor of Chester, and Chaplain to
the • Archbishop of Canterbury. The Mayor and a
number of the members of the Council met at the
schools in connection with the church, and having
formed in procession, walked thence to the church, fol-
lowed by the children attending the school. .The Rev.
Mr. Thurlow preached frOm John vii. 14—" If any
man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine
whether it be of God." The sermon was impressive and
appropriate, being illustrative of the influence of the
doctrines of Christianity in promoting national greatness
and prosperity, and the consequent necessity of endea-
vouring to make them permeate all grades of the com-
munity, A collection was made at the close of the ser-
vice and amounted to £2l Lis.
LIVERPOOL ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.—The fol-
lowing account of Liverpool, dated 1760, is given by
Mr. Derrick, Master of the Ceremonies at Bath, to the
Earl of Cork. He writes :—" The great prosperity of
the town is owing to its being free for any body to
settle and follow business, as well as to the spirit and
indefatigable industry of its inhabitants, the majority of
whom are either native Irish or of Irish descent—Pa
fresh proof that the Hibernians thrive best when trans-
planted. • Though few of the merchants have had more
education than befits a counting-house, they are genteel
in their address • they are hospitable, nay, even friendly
to strangers; their tables are plenteously furnished, and
their viands well served up ; their rum is excellent, of
which they consume large quantities in private, made
mostly with limes ; but they pique themselves greatly
upon °their ale. Here is an assembly once a fortnight
for dancing and playing cards, regulated by a lady
styled the queen, who rules with absolute power; here
you will find some women elegantly accomplished and
perfectly well-dressed. There are at Liverpool three
good inns ; for tenpenee a man dines elegantly at an
ordinary, consisting of ten or a dozen dishes; indeed,
it must be said that they have plenty of the best and
most luxurious foOd at a very cheap rate ; their mutton,
is small and juicy ; their fowl, whether wild or tame,
brought in fine order to market; and of fish they have
a great variety in the utmost perfection." Ten years
later, namely, in 1770, of Toxteth-park it is said that it
was "entirely composed of farms."
MARINE DISASTERS.—The barques Sharp, of New-
castle, and Medium, of Blyth, both laden with salt, were
driven on the. Herd Sand on the night of the 27th inst.
The crews were saved. The schooner which ran foul
of the Thomas Vassal on the 23rd and afterwards ran
on shore in Anglo Bay, was the Samuel Dixon, bound
to Newport. She lost her mainboom, bowsprit, and sus-
tained a number of less important injuries. The His-
toria, for Liverpool from
.Corsica, has put into St.
Vincent, Cape de Verd Islands, leaky. She has under.
gone a survey, and, some slight repairs would enable her
to proceed on her voyage, but the crew refused to go,
alleging that she is more injured than is apparent. It
is reported from Kirkwall that the Brodens Haab, from
Liverpool to Narva, parted from her anchors during the
gale of the 22nd inst., and drove on the rocks on the west
side of Scupa Bay, where she now lies full of water.
The barque Vancouver, for Liverpool, in getting under
weigh in Torbay, came in collision with the barque
Thomas Watson. The covering board and stanchion
rail were broken, and the mainmast carried away. She
was making a considerable quantity of water. Theocis

December 6th,
The Globe, from Liverpool, which went ashore on the
4th December at Saynarenia, is discharging her cargo
on the beach. Her masts are all gone by the board,
and she is reported to be making water. Tow-boats
were • sent to her assistance, but have been obliged to
return without effecting anything.
FESTIVAL or Scorrisir Music.—A high treat was
afforded to the lovers of Scottish Minstrelsy, by the
charming concert provided on Saturday evening in the
Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, under the manage-
ment of Mr. Julian Adams, from Edinburgh. The
entertainment consisted of a finely diversified selection
of Scottish balladi, sung by able artistes, and of
Scottish reels and other national dances. The
leading vocalist on the occasion was our old favourite
Mr. Milne, whose spirited rendering of Scottish
song, added to his admirable qualities as a singer, are
sufficient to render any entertainment popular, if he is
allotted a prominent share in its performance. He gave
with his usual feeling and success the charming song,
"Of a' the airts he -wind can blaw ;" and received, as he
deserved to do, a hearty encore, a compliment which was
also bestowed on his quaint and spirited singing of
" The wee, wee, German Lairdie," and " Come Under
my Plaidie." A new singer was introduced to our
notice on this occasion, in the person of Miss Flora
Macdonald, a daughter of Scotia, *he seems finely
imbued with the spirit of her country's ballads. She
has a good voice, and if she could shake off a little
of the timidity which she evidently experienced in sing-
ing before an English audience, she will prove a great
acquisition to our stock. of national v ocalists. Mr.
Julian. Adams played with fine taste a selection of
" Brilliant Variations on Scotch Airs " ,on the concer-
tina. The whole was supported by 'a very efficient
orchestra, and a sprightly, as well as cu t ured, band of
dancers. The entertainment was in all respects admir-
able ; and we are glad to learn that simi ar performances
will be given by the same et/ t 'stes every' evening during
the week, in the same place.
