A T a period like the present, when such efforts are being
1-1 made, on all hands, in support of Church extension,
when a cry has gone throughout the length and breadth of
the land for Scriptural Instruction, it is truly gratifying to
know that in Liverpool a strong feeling has been exhibited in
this good work, proportioned in some measure, to the bless-
ings with which its own commercial interests have been
attended, and certainly not inferior in point of energy and
perseverance to that of any town in the kingdom.
In proof of this assertion it may be stated, that for the
last thirty years Church accommodation has been on the in-
crease at the rate of one thousand and some hundred sittings
annually ; that in the year 1809, the provision made by the
Establishment for the public worship of the Almighty con-
sisted of some ten or twelve Churches, capable of contain-
ing not more than so many thousand individuals ; whereas
now, in 1839, the cloud which for a time overshadowed the
land has in our days begun to drop fatness—to pour forth its
showers, so as to leave few parts of this town unrefreshed by
its mild and genial influence—there being at present in Li-
verpool and its environs, upwards of forty Churches, con-
taining an average of twelve hundred sittings each, in con-
nexion with our Protestant Episcopal Establishment; so that
from the extreme limits of the Borough. north and south—
from Kirkdale to Toxteth Park—there exists a chain of Tem-
ples for the worship of the TRIUNE JEHOVAH, and at such
convenient distances as to leave every man within that range
inexcusable who neglects to hear the glad tidings of a Saviour.
But it may be asked—What of those other districts not
less important and snore populous than any to which notice
has been hitherto directed ? What has been done in fur-
therance of this " good work" in the neighbourhood of our
shipping stations, along the densely-crowded shores of the
Mersey ? What for the large and rapidly-increasing popula-
tion of Windsor and its precincts ? We reply that, as to the
Christian nothing seems done whilst anything remains to be
done so these truly important and populous districts have
not escaped the notice of the Christian philanthropist, as
is abundantly testified by the exertions lately put forth in
their behalf by the Clergy and their several congregations,
and with such triumshant success.

It is hardly necessary to advert to the formation of the
Liverpool Church Building Society, since which time the erec-
tion of several new Churches has-been decided on ; funds to
a very considerable amount have been raised ; suitable situ-
ations for some of the intended Churches secured ; the work
now proceeds briskly and auspiciously—and all within the
short space of a few months.
When, in addition to the above, it is stated that, in the
neighbourhood of Windsor, also, a large and beautiful
Church is now in progress of erection, and that thus no
chasm remains to be filled up, every man, who is really a
friend to the Church of our Fathers, to a pure, chaste, and
Scriptural system of Religious Worship and Instruction,
must in his heart rejoice, seeing that " this is the Lord's
doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes."
It now remains briefly, but specially, to notice the new
Church of St. Saviour, Windior, with a view of enlisting
the sympathies of the Protestant public in its behalf.
For many years past various efforts have been made to
secure to this portion of our town the advantages of adequate
and convenient Church accommodation; but from one cause
or other, these efforts, it is to be lamented, have proved
abortive. The difficulty of procuring land of good title and
satisfactory tenure, want of funds and other impediments,
have stood in the way of their accomplishment ; but it is
matter of thankfulness to be enabled now to announce, that
these obstacles have been almost wholly surmounted ; that
land, freehold of inheritance, has been purchased in a most
desirable situation ; that a plan has been adopted, a Com-
mittee formed, Trustees named, and the work of building
already in so advanced a state, as to justify the hope of its
being opened for public worship early in the summer of
1840.

In behalf of this Church an appeal is now made to the In-
habitants of Liverpool ; anyl when it is considered that thus
an elegant and convenient place of worship will be afforded
to the wealthier portion of the community—that the same
advintages will be extended to the middling classes, and at
moderate expense—that four hundred sittings will be appro-
priated to the use of our poorer brethren, and that the bless-
ings of a solid and Scriptural Education, through the medium
of Sunday, Daily, and Infant Schools, will, with God's
assistance, be put within the reach of not less than ONE
THOUSAND CHILDREN, it is hoped that this appeal will not
be made in vain, remembering that " there is that scattereth,
and yet increaseth ; and there is that withholdeth more than
is meet, but it tendeth to poverty."
The foundation stone of St. Saviour's Church was laid by
the Rev. AUGUSTUS CAMPBELL, on the 15th April last.
Contributions in aid of the prosecution of the work will
be received at the BANNING HOUSES previously named, and
also at the STANDARD, COURIER, and LIVERPOOL MAIL
Newspaper Offices.

TO THE CHRISTIAN PUBLIC.
TNFIDELITY, under the new name of Spelalism, has for
1 some time been spreading in secret its Otineful influence ;
but encouraged by the disturbed conditisk of the times, it
has now become bolder in its avowals, *id threatens to dis-
grace this Christian country, and call crown God's vengeance
upon it, by erecting Temples for the encouragement of the
grossest system of sensualism, and for the direct purpose of
blaspheming God's name. This system denounces marriage
and parental affection, declares revelation to be a lie, and
asserts man's nonaccountability to any laws, human or
divine. A BUILDING FOR THE PURPOSES OF SOCIALISM IS
NOW IN COURSE OF ERECTION IN LIVERPOOL under the
directorship of Mr. JOHN FINCH, who boasts that a SUNDAY
SCHOOL has also been established, in which Children are
trained in these revolting principles. To thwart the projects
of such men, Mr. BRINDLEY visited Liverpool, and ex-
posed to the working classes the folly and wickedness of
Socialism. He has since been requested to interest the
higher classes in this matter, by laying before them a state-
ment of the principles and working means of the Socialist
body, as is explained in the accompanying syllabus. The
support of all well-wishers to the present and eternal happi-
ness of mankind is earnestly requested.
Mr. BRINDLEY, Head Master of Oldswinford Hos-
pital, Stourbridge, will deliver a LECTURE on the
Scheme misnamed SOCIALISM, at the MUSIC HALL,
Bold-street, Liverpool, on TUESDAY EVENING next, the
20th instant.

Ladies are earnestly requested to attend, as Mr. Brindley
will call their especial attention to the presentation of Robert
Owen to the Queen, and propose an Address from them to
her Majesty, expressive of their indignation at the insult thus
offered to her.

It is not intended that there should be any Discussion on
his occasion.

ISLAND OF HARRIS.—We have great pleasure in stating
that the threatened disturbances in Harris have been obviated
by the good sense and right feeling of the people. The mi-
litary force was not called into action, and all differences
have been satisfactorily adjusted, by the unconditional
compliance of the people. We trust the proprietor will
render their emigration from the island as favourable as
circumstances will permit.—lnv,erness Courier.
Ministers, having by their own culpable and disgraceful
policy brought upon society the dangers of returning barba-
rism and Vandalic violence, endeavour to redeem their cha-
racier by measures subversive of public liberty. The price
which Englishmen are to pay for the privilege of being
governed by the Melbourne cabinet is the destruction of a
free constitution of a thousand years!
AN AWKWARD DREAM.—A gentleman from Toppesfield,
who was summoned on the jury at the assize for this county,
prayed the sheriff to excuse him from serving, on the follow-
ing singular grounds. He stated that having dreamt he was
furiously attacked by a tiger, he was in the act of resisting
the animal, when he fell out of bed and dislocated his
shoulder. The injury being apparent, he was excused.—
Essex Standard.

PWLLIIELI.—On Thursday last, reaping commenced near
this town, and several fields of barley were housed in good
condition ; should the weather continue fine, much corn will
be immediately cut in this neighbourhood, and in the parishes
of Abererch, Penrhos, and Llanengan, in this county.
Large quantities of hay which were left out on account of
the showery weather, have been secured in better condition
than was expected, during the past week.—lbid.
INCREASE OF WHIG PATRONAGE.—One great recom-
mendation of the centralising principle to the whigs is the
immense increase of patronage which it brings them. By
the Birmingham Police Bill they will have the creation of
several new places, and by the Metropolitan Police Courts
Bill they can provide for 27 unfledged and briefless barristers
of fours years standing, at the expense of £1,200 a-year each
to the country. Surely if such men as Lord'Lyndhurst and
Lord Brougham, Lord Wynford and Lord Denman, are pre-
pared to acknowledge the superior intelligence which dis-
tinguishes soap-boilers' law to the ancient law of England,
they must admit that it will be rather expensive to the nation.
In our opinion, it would, like a bad article, wrought by
ignorant and bungling workmen, be dear at any price.—
Herald.

WHIG LOVE or LIBERTY. The attempts of ministers
to establish the system of a centralised police are very natu-
rally connected with other attempts to break down the
national, the safe, the popular administration of justice by
means of TRIAL BY JURY. Our ancient constitutional
tribunals must be superseded that the system of a .gendar-
merie may be established in all its terror—stipendiaries of
the home-office are to be intrusted with the power of abso-
lute jurisdiction over offences even of felony, and where the
punishment does not exceed a certain extent of imprisonment
and hard labour, all right of appeal is taken away. Where
an appeal is still to be allowed it is not to a jury ! Our
" liberal" rulers hate trial by jury, because it is a system of
administering justice eminently deserving of the respect and
support of all real friends of public liberty.—Herald.

THE GREAT WESTERN AND THE BRITISH QUEEN.-A
report has been in circulation for some weeks past, that on
the homeward passage these fine ships were matched to try
their comparative speed in a race across the Atlantic ; and
people have been found sufficiently credulous to believe the
story, and to make bets on the result, the odds being, it is
said, on the " little un." We regret to be compelled to spoil
the anticipated sport by informing the betting gentlemen that
no race has ever been contemplated, and that there will be
none. The proprietors are not such fools or madmen as to
suppose that; with the knowledge of a match being made,
they would stand the least chance of getting passengers to
trust themselves in either vessel. Nineteen out of twenty of
the terrible accidents to steamers in the American waters
have been caused by racing; it is an American practice, ori-
ginating in the universal rage for " going a head," which pre-
vails among the sons and daughters of Brother Jonathan ;
but we have no fear that it will ever be countenanced on this
side of the Atlantic. That no race, is intended in the pre-
sent case is evident from the fact that the departure of the
Great Western from New York was fixed for the Ist., and
that, although the British Queen was at first announced to
leave that port on the same day, the time of her departure
was subsequently altered to the 6th or 7th. The Great
Western may be expected in Kingroad about the middle of
this week.—Morning Herald.

WHERE TO DRAW THE LlNE.—Just as this change had
been effected, there presented himself for shaving, a big,
burly, good-humoured coal-heaver, with a pipe in his mouth,
who, drawing his hand across his chin, requested to know
when a shaver would be disengaged. The journeyman, to
whom this question was put, looked doubtfully at the young
proprietor, and the young proprietor looked scornfully at the
coal-heaver, observing, at the same time, " You won't get
shaved here, my man." " Why not ?" said the eoal-heaver.
" We don't shave gentlemen in your line," remarked the
young proprietor. Why, I see you a shaving of a baker
when I was looking through the winder last week," said the
coalheaver. " It's necessary to draw the line somewhere,
my fine feller," replied the principal. "We draw the line
there. We can't go beyond bakers. If we was to get any
lower than bakers our customers would desert us, and we
might shut up shop. You must try some other establish-
ment, sir. We couldn't do it here." The applicant stared,
grinned at Newman Noggs, who appeared highly entertained,
looked slightly round the shop, as if in depreciation of the
pomatum pots and other articles of stock, took his pipe out
of his mouth, and gave a very loud whistle, and then put it
in again, and walked out.—Nickleby, for August.
MOCK ROYALTY OurwirrEn.—Last week, upon one of
those beautiful afternoons which animated and delighted the
animal and vegetable world, a group of ladies and sprigs of
nobility and fashion, with a numerous cortege and outriders,
elegantly caparisoned, rode from the Regent's Park up the
New Barnetoroad, towards the turnpike, near the Swiss
Tavern, in exact imitation of her Majesty and suite; the
lady, indeed, personating the Queen, was attired in similar
costume to that worn by her Majesty in her riding excur-
sions, and in person she much resembled that youthful and
illustrious personage. The Swiss Tavern was at the time
crowded by visitors, and the worthy host, anxious to testify
his respect and loyalty to her Majesty, summoned his cus-
tomers and servants to the gate, all of whom (a host in them-
selves) were prepared, bare-headed, to receive her with three
hearty shouts of welcome. The toll-man, however, who had
acquired a deeper knowledge of royalty than the crowd, by
having attended a gate in the western district, with the cun-
ning leer of a Cyclop's eye, advised them to spare their
breath, and, upon the principle of the old proverb, " keep
their heads warm," asserting, at the same time, that the
lady might be a' duchess, or marchioness, or something of
less degree, but she was no more a queen than he was a Cer-
berus, as they would speedily see by his charging the whole
corpse (as he emphatically termed them) with the toll." The
cortege approached, the toll-man was about to exact his fee,
when the whole corps looked " unutterable things," wheeled
about in double quick time, and the soi-disant lady queen,
wearing her " blushing honours thick upon her," galloped.
away, conscious of the confusion she had created.

A very extensive seizure of fire arms took place on Tuesday,
in the neighbouring county of Chester, and excited mach
wonder and no smallalarm. It appears that a number of pack-
ages—no less than 272, each containing twenty stand of arms
with bayonets and flints fixed, were ascertained by T. Caset,
Esq. of Birkenhead, to have been lying at the canal ware-
houses at Ellesmere Port, on the Mersey, for three or four
days, under very suspicious circumstances, the boxes being
marked simply with the letter " B " having no direction, and
being accompanied with no invoice. He caused informatien
to be given to his brother magistrates at Chester, and they
instantly gave instructions to Hill, the superintendent of
police, to seize them, and bring them to the Queen's armoury
in that town, on the supposition that they had been intended.
for the use of the chartists at their expected rising to rescue
Stephens and their other leaders, in case of their conviction
at the assizes of the offences with which they stand charged.
Mr. Hill sent two of his men along the canal to Ellesmere
Port, and the arms were duly secured and taken from Messrs
Shiptons' warhouses, in Chester, to the castle in waggons,
under a strong guard. Much rumour is abroad as to the in-
tended destination of these weapons. Some persons fancy
they were sent thither by the chartists—others that the govern-
ment had ordered them thither secretly for the use of the loyal
inhabitants, in case of any rising or disturbance, and a third
party supose that they were left there in so strange a manner
preparatory to embarking them in some vessel about to sail
to the relief of Don Carlos. The latter surmise appears to
us to be the most probable, as it is known that a large quan-
tity of arms and ammunition intended for that service was
lately lost by the destruction of the Waterloo steamer at sea
by fire, and the situation of Ellesmere Port, could hare been
favourable to the secret conveyance on board any vessel lying
in the river by means of the flats or luggage boats that come
down the canal. As they must have passed through many
disturbed places in their progress thither from Birmingham,
we think that the government in those districts would not
have permitted them to go without an escort.' Until we
heard the trial of the chartist conspirators on 'Wednesday at
the Chester Assises, we had no adequate conception of the
extent of their crganisation and the formidable nature of their
preparations, but still we cannot believe that these arms were
a portion of their purchases. They were, however, of recent
manufacture, and very similar to those made by Mr. Thom-
son and his co-conspirators. If they did belong to that party,
their seizure is indeed most providential, and may save the
shedding of an incalculable amount of blood. There will be,
we fancy, some difficulty in getting them out of the hands of
the government, whoever may claim them. The carriers
cannot surely be ignorant of the names of the parties from
whom they received them. At all events some enquiry should
be speedily instituted to allay the public excitement which
the discovery has occasioned.

REAL NATURE. OF THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)

We stated on Saturday that Benbow, whose apprehension
on a charge of seditious conspiracy we then announced, had
published an address to Vie working classes, on the subject
of the " national horday." t As this publication contains the
most explicit avowal of the objects of the promoters of that
scheme which has fallen under our notice, we think the fol-
lowing notice of it may not prove unacceptable to our
readers :—lt is entitled " Grand National Holiday, and
Congress of the Productive Classes. By Wm. Benbow ;"
and purports to be printed and published by the author, 205,
Fleet-street, London ; and reprinted by him, No. 27, Lower
Mosley-street, Manchester. It is dedicated to the working
classes, whom he styles " Plundered Fellow-Sufferers," in
the following words :—" I lay before you i plan of freedom ;
adopt it, and you rid the world of inequality, misery, and
crime. A martyr in your cause, lam become the prophet of
your salvation, A plan of happiness is pointed out, and de-
dicated to TOLL With it I devote to you my life and body,
my soul and blood. Was. BENtow." In his introductory
address, he says, speakiny of the people--:

. . .
" When they 'fight for themselves, then will they be a
people, then will they live, then will . they have ease, gaiety,
pleasure, and happiness ;.but never, until they do fight for
themselves.' When the people fight their own battle—when
they are active in resistance to the greater part of existing
institutions—when they hate a proper opinion of themselves ;
that is, when they are convinced of their own power and
worth, they will then enjoy the advantages a people ought to
enjoy. They will be every thing they were not before; they
will be no longer abused, maltreated, and lessened in their
own estimation ; they will be no longer robbed of the fruits
of their toil, no longer oppressed and goaded to despair ;
their lives will be no longer a burden too heavy to be borne.
The few—the grasping, the blood-sucking few—will. be no
longer able to do all this. The few—the idle, dronish few—
will be forced to work as well as others, and every man's
share of the good things of this life will be in proportion to
his production of them."
Again,—

" The knowledge we want is a knowledge of ourselves ; a"
knowledge of our own power, of our immense might, and of
the right we have to employ in action that immense power.
We cannot have this knowledge without having an opposite
kind of knowledge—namely, the knowledge of the numeri-
cal and real weakness of our enemies, though they have been
so long enabled to oppress us, and drain us to the last drop
of our heart's blood. The people of Paris had this know-
ledge when they revolted against tyranny, and trampled it for
a moment under their feet ; the people of Paris will give a
still stronger example of the sort of knowledge we want,
when they declare that kingship'• and privilege areineola.
patible with popular liberty; in fine, when they Shall strike
for a republic—and this. example may be expected shortly.
The men of Grenoble, the other day. gave a proof of this
knowledge when they refused to pay unjust taxes, burned
the tax-gather's houses and books, and forced the govern-
ment to come to a compromise. Its short, the knowledge we
want is to he fully convinced of the weakness and villainy of
our enemies, and to be resolved to use the means we have of
destroying them."
He next asks where virtue is to be found :
" Who have been hanged ?—who have suffered at the stake
for their country, and for the good of humanity ? The people 1
From Wat Tyler down to Emmett and Thistlewood, the
martyrs of truth have always been found among the people.
Their inart)i-doin e mild not la\ e been in vain, had we sup-
ported them. They relied upon us—they gave us an example
—they held forth a torch-light—they sounded a tocsin—their
heart-strings rang it ; but we, 0 shame ! have- been deaf to
it ! We have had hearts of steel—we have been worse than
the deaf adder • for we have heard the music of liberty, and
have not listened to it !"
The next portion of this penny pamphlet of twelve pages is
entitled " The Holiday ;" and in this article he recommends
the people to provide food. for the first week only of the four;
during :which; week they will be enabled to, inquire into the
funds of their respective cities, towns, villages, and Parishes ;
and ", the people, so soon as they shall themselves in want of
provisions or lands; must have immediate recourse to vestry
meetings; Which have power to grant, in despite of overseers
and justices, such relief as may be wanted. * • * *
Let it be constantly borne in mind, that the united voice of
the people will be. duly attended to, and that an equal division
of funds and provisions will be allowed them by the parish
authorities when their object is known." This is not the
whole of this precious scheme. Mr. Benbow has a hankering
after the beef and mutton of his neighbours : •
" ' The cattle upon a thousand hills are, the Lord's.'
When the people's voice, which Lord Brougham Troclaims
to be the voice of God—and surely we need no higher legal
authority—calls for its own, demands the cattle Of the
thousand hills, who dares withhold the cattle of the thousand
hills ? During our holiday the people may have need of this
cattle : let them' order it to the slaughter house, and their
herdsmen and drovers will obey them. There may be some
persons, who, having been so long a time the keepers of the
Lord's cattle, will be inclined to keep it still longer. How-
ever, we are of opinion, that when solicited, they will render
` unto the Lord that which is the Lord's.' But there are
other keepers of the people's cattle, whose unbounded libe-
rality and strict probity are known to the whole world. These
keepers may be classed under the denominations of dukes,
marquises, earls, lords, barons, baronets, esquires, justices,
and parsons, and they will all freely contribute to our glo-
rious holiday. Some of them, according to the extent of the
Lord's flock, will send us a hundred sheep, others twenty
oxen ; loads of corn, vegetables, and fruits will be sent to
each committee appointed by the Lord's voice, which, when
distributed among the people, will enable them during the
congress to legislate at their ease, without any fear of want
tormenting any part of them. • Should there, -however, be a
few who may refuse to render up the Lord's cattle, the num-
ber of the greatly generous will infinitely counterbalance
them. To the Newcastles, who think every thing their own,
we will oppose the Burdetts, who think all they possess the
Lord's or people's."
As to the mode of dealing with refractory cattle-keepers,
Benbow says • .
" The committee will depute twenty persons to wait upon
Sir Francis, and state to him respectfully, but energetically,
their business. Suppose, but it is the most improbable of all
suppositions, that Sir Francis should not be inclined to pay
full attention to the application; then the committee will
send one hundred persons, with the same request, urging it
still more respectfully and energetically; and should there
still be indifference on the part of Sir Francis, the committee
shall send 1000 persons, and so on, increasing in proportion,
until the Lord's cattle be forthcoming."
So much for the" ways andmeans." As to the people's
parliament--
" When all, the, details of the. above plan are put into exc.
cution, the committep,of ,eachaiarish and district shall select
its Wise men to'be "sent to the national congress. A parish
or district having ripOpulation of 8000 shall send two wise
and cunning men to congress, a population of 15,000 four,
population of 25,000 eight, and London fifty wise and cunning
men. The.advice of the different committees is to be taken
as.to the most convenient place for conference. It should be
a central position, and the mansion of some great liberal
' lord, with its out-houses and appurtenances. The only diffi-
culty of choke will be to fix upon one, for they are all
sufficiently vast to. afford lodging to the members of the
congress, their lands will afford nourishment, and their parks
a beautiful place for meeting."
.!
Such are the outlines of Mr. Benhow's scheme for the
national holiday 7 We do not fiud that he fixes auy Articular
time for it's coMmencement; but he thinks that there should
be univerSal'preparation for it, fora long time previously,
and that it should be held in summer, neither inseed-time
nor harvest.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.' `'l'
MANCHESTER—TUESDAY EVENING.
The attractions to Wolverhampton races are numerous,
consequently it can scarcely be wondered at if the circles here
have been more deficient in numbers than usual: Numbers
left us to be present the three days. We believe the attend-
dance yesterday was very great ; many faMilies of the first
distinction being present, and the weather very inviting.
There was a " little mistake" in the recent bettings here on
the Wolverhampton Stakes ; parties " run riot" to back
Magpie, Potentate, and one or two others, leaving Confu-
sionee to win as cleverly as she probably would have done
the Goodwood Stakes, had the state of the ground and " the
start" been good. We give the prices of the afternoon for—
