leaders will induce them to stand up in defence of the
other ancient institutions of our country, whenever
they may be assailed by whig rapacity.

As we anticipated in our last, the whigs have car-
ried the election of Speaker in the House of Commons :
but after all their exertions in beating for recruits—
after all their bribery and cajollery—the majority has
been any thitig but a " glorious" one. It was confident-
ly boasted by the ministerial organs that the majority
would be from twenty-five to thirty ; nay some of the
" enormous lying" journals went so far as to say that
ministers might calculate upon a majority of forty.—
After all this blustering it must be mortifying to ac-
knowledge that the resuscitated cabinet stands in a worse
position than it did before its recent fainting, or rather
feinting fit. It is evident that Lord Melbourne and his
wily associates have gained nothing by the discreditable
and dishonest manoeuvres which they have practised
during the last month. The conservative phalanx re-
mains undiminished. There has been no secession from
the ranks of the opposition. Even the turncoats Gibson
and Ingham refused to give any further support to the
shabbies. There were 301 conservatives in the House
when the division took place, and if Lord Ossulston and
Sir. S. Spry had not been accidentally too late the ma-
jority would only have been sixteen ! From the ana-
lysis of the division it appears that there are 319 con-
servative members in the House of Commons, whilst
the ministers with the assistance of the Irish tail, and
the intractable English radicals, can only muster 338,
leaving one vote doubtful. Was there ever witnessed
so humiliating a spectacle ! It is evident that the mi-
nisters cannot go on much longer with such a House
of Commons. We hope they will try once more the
expedient of appealing to the electors of Great Britain.
Their doom will then be irrevocably sealed.

CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

The following admirable petition has been got up by oiir
friends of the Church of Scotland, resent in Liverpool, in
opposition to the government scheme of national education.
We hail it as an additional proof of the unpopularity of that
measure.

To the Honourable the Commons of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament
assembled,
The Petition of the undersigned persons, members
of the Church of Scotland, residing in the town
of Liverpool, in the county palatine of Lancaster,
Humbly sheweth,—That your petitioners are deeply im-
pressed with the paramount importance of scriptural national
church establishments, as a dutiful homage to Almighty God
on the part of the State ; as a salutary restraint on the upper
classes of society ; as a provision :for the stability of the
faith of the middle classes; as the only sure source of reli-
gious instruction for the labouring classes ; and as a guaran-
tee for the hallowed observance.of the Sabbath.
That your petitioners have seen with concern a scheme of
education recently laid before Parliament, which in their
opinion violates the first principles of both national churches,
and the Protestant constitution of the United Kingdom ;
which contemplates the employment by the State of Romish
and Socinian teachers ; and which recognises corrupted
translations of the= Holy Scriptures as of equal authority
with the authorised version.

That your petitioners consider this new scheme of educa-
tion as at variance more particularly with the system of the
parochial schools of Scotland ; a system which is the theme
of exultation with every Scotsman, as the peculiar glory of
the early Scottish Reformers.
That your petitioners trust that your honourable house
will reject the said scheme of education.
And your petitioners will ever pray-

CROSBY

This marine village was especially visited by the fury of
the storm. The houses of the humbler inhabitants, most of
which are thatched, were nearly unroofed on the weather
side, and the walls of two of them, nearly in the centre of the
village, were thrown to the ground, to the imminent danger
of the inmates, who, however, luckily escaped to the houses
of their more fortunate neighbours in their night dresses.
The roof of the catholic chapel was partially blown off, as
was that of the adjoining house. Several hay and corn
stacks were scattered to the winds; and in this particular Mr.
Mawdslev was, we learn, a loser to the extent of nearly £6O.
Mr. Hodgson's house suffered dreadfully. The wind-mill
belonging to Mr. Westhead, was with great difficulty stopped,
or, rather, its velocity was arrested before it took fire from
friction; for it continued to go at a moderate speed after all
possible appliances to stop it. The house of Mr. Croft, soap
boiler, was completely stripped of its roof, and broken win-
dows were general throughout the village. On the morning
of the gale (Monday), the oinibuses were delayed in starting
for Liverpool, the gale being so strong that they were in
danger of upsetting. One of them was afterwards very
nearly overturned when crossing Seaforth bridge.

AND PILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH AIINERAL MARMOIIATUM

MONS. LE DRAY St CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respectfully
inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitatits of Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma-
nently at No. 70, 51,;EL-STRE ET, eight doors from Berry-
street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth
with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat,
or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid
state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing
the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and
rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi-
neral not only converts a mere shell into a-sound and useful
tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents
effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria-
bly accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there
is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of
teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects
individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the
primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected
Mons. Le Dray and-Co. have to inform them, that they can
effectually rentove this destructive complaint by a single ap-
olieation without the slightest pain.
Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from
one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving
any pain, without spring,, wires, or ligatures, answering all
he purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per-
fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla-
ced by the weaver with the greatest facility—at the following
Paris charges :
A single tificial Tooth £t) 10 0
A complete Set 5 5 0
A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine

An entire Set of Natural Or Terro-Me-
faille Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged -Forty Guineas
Loose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectuallyremedied. Ar-
tificial teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, 110

BOOTLE BAY.

About sixteen vessels (as before stated) were thrown ashore
i❑ Bootle Bay ; and during the day a vast number of persons,
pedestrians and equestrians, went along the beach to witness
the destruction, which, however, we are happy to say, was not
extensive, if we exclude the lamentable stranding of the Ox-
ford. The Oxford %las seen rounding the Rock at half-past
twelve on Sunday night. She was driven on shore, with all
her masts standing, in about an hcur afterwards, and after
grounding, never stirred from the spot where she now lies.
On the retiring of the tide the passen•aers, thirteen in number,
and the captain and crew, landed with their luggage, about
ten o'clock, and proceeded from the hotel above to the town.
The masts of the Oxford did not fall till between three and
four o'clock in the morning. She kept a light up during the
whole of the night. . . .

In the cotton factory, a portion of the north wing of which
was blown down, the number of panes broken was probably
not under 300.

A circumstance occurred on the north shore, near the wreck
of the Oxford, showing in a remarkablemanuer the violence
of the gale. A small open boat, belonging to the Mountaineer
(a foreign trader) and used occasionally as a pleasure boat
by her owner, Mr. Waring, was left on the shore, bottom up,
near the Bootle Landmarks. This boat was lifted by the
gale and carried front 100 to 150 yards up the shore, where
she was left on the borders of a pleasure ground !
As before stated, the Oxford, line ship, was drive❑ on shore
in Bootle Bay. Her'cargo is valuable, consisting principally,
we believe, of cotton and 'tobacco. The Redwing, tier Ma-
jesty's tender for the mad was (as we also noticed) stranded

near her. Lieut. Reid, her commander, stated that, so over-
powering was the hurricane, with three anchors out, and his
full power of steam on, one of his cables snapped, and his
vessel dragged before the wind, till at last he was obliged to
let them slip to avoid running foul of the Oxford. The wind
then drove his vessel on her beam-ends, and being unable to
get her head to windward, with all the power he could put
on, she was driven sideways on shore.

Many noble trees, oaks and elms, that had stood the storms
for centuries, were blown down in the wood called "The
Nursery."
Mr. Fletcher, of Allerton. near Woolton, had a narrow
escape. He had just left his bed-room when the whole of
the chimneys came down into the apartments below with a
tremendous crash.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1839-01-11

WOODSIDE

Amongst the many instances of injury to property at
Woodside, occasioned by the hurricane, it is our painful
duty to name one attended with loss of life. The violence of
the wind having broken a few squares of glass in the front
windows of the dwelling-house occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Fell, in Midge-street, near Victoria-place, thereby rendering
the further occupation of the front rooms alarming, Mr. Fell
proposed to his lariy that she should remove to the maid-
servant's bed in the att;c, and that he, Mr. Fell, with his
brother, should go to rest in one of the back rooms. This
arrangement was scarcely completed, when the stack of
chimneys fell in, carrying the roof along with it, upon the
bed where Mrs. Fell and the servant were laid, and they
were both buried in the rubbish. Mr. Fell and his brother,
on hearing the crash, rushed to the servant's room, when
Mrs. Fell forced her hand through the ruins, exclaiming " 1
am alive!" Assistance was got in about twenty minutes,
and Mrs. Fell was rescued from her perilous situation unhurt,
except a few bruises on the hands; but we lament to add the
maid-servant was found quite dead by her side, although no
external bruises have been discovered on the body.

ROCHDALE.

The chimney at the factory of Messrs. Howard, in Chee-
tham-street, fell upon the building, crushed in the roof, and
several of the floors, doing very serious and extensive da-
mage. At the saw-mills, in Oldham-road, the chimney,
which was 45 yards high, tell in the same manner upon. the
building, and broke down every thing before it to the ground.
The watchman narrowly escaped with his life, having just
left the spot when the chimney fell. The chimney at the
machine shop of i\l r. Ashworth, 'Oldham-road, also fell upon
the building, breaking through to the ground floor; whilst
that at the works of Messrs. Worrall and Shaw, spindle-
makers, New Road, was blown into the river Roach. The
chimney at the factory of Mr. Butterworth, of Small Bridge,
fell against the end of the factory, which was completely
beaten in by it. Several other engine chimneys, of smaller
consequence, were blown down ; and the destruction of roofs,
windows, and house chimneys, the glass in hot and green-
houses, and the trees in the neighbourhood, is beyond all de-
scription. Scarcely a single building covered with blue slate
has escaped a partial unroofing, with the exception of those
in which the slates were fastened with copper nails. Not-
withstanding the great amount of damage to property, and
the numerous instances in which house chimneys fell through
the roofs or rolled into the streets, we cannot learn that a
single person has been killed, or seriously injured. The
storm began at about two in the morning, and appeared to
be at its greatest height from four to six. About five o'clock
the barometer was observed to stand at 27. 80.
