NEWSPAPER PROPERTY.—THE 4 MORNING NEWS."
—7-Yesterday, in purivance of an advertisement, Mr.
Gaskill, auctioneer of the Liverpool ".District of -fhe
Bankruptcy -Court, under a' fiat of that court, offered
for sale the business' effects of Mr.- Charles iVillmer,
late proprietor and publisher of the ".Morning News."
The sale was numerously attended, but the' biddings
generally were slow, and the impression was that most
.of the lots were sold cheap. The .;printing machine, one
'understood to be of good design and construction, sold _
for £195, the engine and boiler employed in working
the machine brought £27, The type, which was stated
to be little worn; was sold for very little moneY. Messrs.
Griffin and M'Ghie, successors to the jobbing printing
business, recently carried on by Mr. Charles Willmar,
purchased the tenant's interest in, and the good-will
and possession of, the premises.

WEST DERBY AND FAIRFIELD RIFLE CORPS.—It
will be seen by an advertisenient of this corps, of which
Lord Stanley is the patron, that it has made application
to the Lord Lieutenant to he enrolled as a sub-division,
and that, therefore, it wishe§' additional members in
order to complete the coMpany.. It had a parade on
Saturday last, when it was generally. observed that its
uniform was very becoming and more in accordance with
the Rifle Corps Regulations than that of some other's in
the neighbourhood, and that it was as fine a body of
men as one would wish to see. Funds, it appears, al-
most sufficient for building, in the district, a suitable
store house, with large drill-room, and sergeant's resi-
dence attached, have been contributed, and the erection
of which is not likely to be _delayed. In the meantime
a temporary drill-room and head-quarters for the corps
have been established in Cardwell-street, Fairfield. We
trust very soon to-hear of a large augmentation of the
compan
Da. BAYLEE AT HOPE-HALL.—This rev. gentleman,
whose zealous advocacy of the infallibility of the scrip-
tures has made him conspicuous in this neighbourhood,
last night delivered his second lecture on the " Infalli-
bility of the Bible." As on the occasion of his first
lecture, the audience was much larger than is usual for
lectures ou theological subjects, and the manner in
which he answered the various objections which the
philosophy of modern tides has raised against the
infallibility of the Bible, .impressed the audience with a
most favourable opinion of his industry and research.
Apart, however, from mere controversial grounds, the
lecture (night to be looked' upon rather as an arrange-
ment of the old matter than the introduction of any-
thing original ; and the simplicity of. the arrangement
and pointedness of the arguments were the whole beauty
of the lecture. - The concluding lecture of the series
will be delivered on Wednesday next, when some of the
historical apparent discrepancies of the- Bible will be
treated of—and, if we may judge from what Dr. Baylee
has previously published—in a most interesting and
satisfactory manner.
METHODIST NEW CONNEXION MTSSIONS.—A public
missionary meeting was held last evening in the Metho-
dist New Connexion Chapel, Park-place, Mr.. Joseph
-Tipping in the chair. The meeting was opened with
prayer, when the Chairman addressed the meeting at
some length on the subject of missionary labour. In
Ireland, the efforts of the missionaries had not met with
that degree of success which might have been expected.
He clnsidered, though he had neverbeen in Ireland, that
it was a very unfortunate country, and that there was a
great want of Christian education in that place. Their
Canadian mission they had reason to be proud of, when
they considered the amount of success that had attended
their efforts. They were about to establish a mis-
sion in China, and from all that they could see, for so far,
he had no doubt it would meet with success. After
some observations on the home mission, he called
upon the Rev. Mr. Cotton to read the -report. From
the report it appeared that the missions were pros-
' pering in the work to : which they were devoted,
generally speaking. The meeting was afterwards
addressed by the Rev. J. P. Wright and Mr. S. Mills,
who formed the deputation. The Rev. G. Scott and
W. Mills also delivered addresses.. These gentlemen
ably set forth the claims of the new Chinese mission on
the audience, and a collection was taken up on its
behalf, The proceedings terminated with prayer,
