ADDRESS.

" To his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and those other
Lords Spiritual and Temporal, who supported his Grace's
motion, for an address to her Majesty, upon the late
ministerial proposal for an Education Grant.
" We, the undersigned members and friends of the Liver-
pool Protestant Operative Association, desire to express to
your lordships, our most earnest and heartfelt sense of gra-
titude for your firm and Christian defence of scriptural edu-
cation, snore especially at a time when the enemies of the pure
word of God are making such efforts to break down the bar-
riers which exist between truth and falsehood.
" The temperate and dignified, but at the same time un-
compromising, course which your lordships felt it your duty
to pursue, in opposing the late attempt to force upon the
country, (contrary to the wishes of nearly one-half the House
of Commons, and the general sense of the nation as expressed
by more than 3000 petitions,) a grant for a system of educa-
tion not only unscriptural in its character, but opposed to
the Established Church and the Protestant Institutions of
the land, demand from the nation at large their most grateful
acknowledgments, and for which we first offer our hearty
thanks to our heavenly Father for his over-ruling Providence
to this our native land. We rejoice to have the opportunity
of thus expressing our gratitude to his Grace, who stood forth
as the first prelate of the Church, and to your lordships, both
spiritual and temporal, who so faithfully supported him in re-
sisting the encroachments of those opposed to the true prin-
ciples of protestantism, which have existed for so many years
as the bulwark of the English constitution."

THE REV. J. R. CONNOR'S LETTER.
MY LORD ARCHBISHOP,-At the request of the Protest-
ant operatives of Liverpool, I have the high honour of en-
closing to your Grace an Address unanimously carried at their
last Public Meeting.
The Address has been presented, through the medium of
the Press, to the other spiritual and temporal Peers who
voted with your grace on the motion alluded to ; but a spe-
cial allusion having been made to your Grace in the Address,
as the originator of the motion, the Operatives conceive that
they are bound to transmit their Address to your Grace per-
sonally. " They do it, presuming upon the high and holy feel-
ings ever manifested by your Grace for the spiritual welfare
of the country, and humbly hoping it will be received as the
ebullition of hearts grateful to God—the Giver of every good
and perfect gift—and to his Bishops, the instruments by whom
he guards the towers of Zion. It may not be irrelevant to
add, that the Liverpool Protestant Operative Association is
strictly a religious Society, established to support our Ishr-
tional Church, the glory of our land.
I have the honour ti) remain,
Your Grace's humble and obedient Servant,
J. R. CONNOR, Chairman,
Minister of St. Simon's, Liverpool.

THE ARCHBISHOP'S REPLY.
Lambeth, Sept. 5, 1839.
Rev. trust that my absence from home on official
duties, which occupied the whole of my time during the last
three weeks of August, will plead my excuse for having so
long delayed my acknowledgment of your letter, and of the
Address, which accompanied it, from the Members and
Friends of the Liverpool Protestant Operative Association.
I am exceedingly gratified by the approbation thus ex-
pressed of my conduct, and the attachment implied in that
approbation to our National Church ; and I beg you to assure
the parties who have signed the Address, that I consider it as
an imperative duty to oppose every measure which may have
the effect of depriving any portion of the people of that early
instruction in the faith and fear of the Lord, which is-only
to be found in the Scriptures, and to which every child that
is born in a Christian country has an undoubted right.

I remain, reverend Sir,
Your humble and obedient servan
W. CANTERBURY.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP LIVERPOOL.

This fine vessel arrived at this port on Sunday mornin
last, after a fair average passage for the season. She hai
been signalled off Holyhead at four o'clock on Saturday
afternoon, and might have arrived with that night's tide, but
for the extremely boisterous state of the weather, which ren-
dered it perilous to attempt the passage through the banks
after dark. It began to blow fresh towards evening, increas-
ing gradually to a gale, which, between eleven o'clock and
one in the morning, approximated to a hurricane. Captain
Fayrer, under the circumstances, in order to avoid all chance
of accident, stood out to the westward. During the night
several of the passengers, although inured to ordinary gales
during the voyage, felt considerable alarm, and, considering
they were not seamen, not without some Cause ; for the sea
was lashed into white foam by the violence of the wind, and
the spray was so dense as to obscure the atmosphere, so that
objects could not be distinguished at any considerable dis-
tance. At the commencement of the gale the barometer
fell rapidly. The topsails were struck, and all was made snug.
Towards daybreak the gale moderated, and, as soon as the
tide served, the vessel resumed her course to port. At a few
minutes before eight she rounded the Rock point, and on her
way up the river fired several guns as signals of her arrival.
In a few minutes she reached her moorings in the Sloyne.
Thus, as she sailed from the slip at New York at a quarter
before three o'clock on Saturday, the 24th ult., she made
the passage in fourteen days and seventeen hours and a half ;
and, but for the gale on Saturday night, would have accom-
plished it in probably ten hours less.
The Liverpool has brought upwards of sixty passengers.

Harvey, Upper Canada; Miss Scott, Toronto; Mrs. Archi-

GRATIFYING FACT.—At a recent annual meeting of the
London New Cemetery Company, the chairman " had great
pleasure in announcing to the meeting the gratifying fact,
that the burials in the cemetery for the last year were double
the number of those of the year preceding."
A DRUNKEN DUCK.—A few days ago a duck, belonging
to a Mr. Marsland, was placed on a table at the Woodman
Inn, Wakefield, when it drank off a glass of ale and sixpenny
worth of brandy and water, and, afterwards, three sixpenny
worth in a neat state, to the astonishment of the company.

TTEATMENT OF ERYSIPELAS BY RAW COTTON.—Dr.
F. Robertson, of Augusta, Geo., reports, in the July num-
ber of the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, two
cases of erysipelas successfully treated by the external ap-
plication of raw cotton.
MR. THOMSON'S CHIEF SECRETARY.—Everybody knows
how much depends upon a great man's secretary—more
perhaps than on the great man himself. When, therefore,
Mr Poulett Thomson was made Governor General and
Captain General of the British provinces in North America,
" who will be his chief secretary ?" was a question of some
importance. We understand that Mr. Thomson has selected
a Mr. Murdoch for that office. Who is Mr. Murdoch? In
answer to this question we shall mention that Mr. Murdoch
was junior clerk of the fourth class in the Colonial Office, at
the time Mr. Elliot, a clerk of the first class, went to Canada
with Sir George Gippps and the other commissioners. Mr.
M. has now succeeded to the office of the chief secretary of
the Governor General of Canada, with a salary of £l5OO a
year.—Colonial Gazette.
VOCAL FHENOMENOII.—MESSINA (Sicily,) AUGUST 11.
—We have here a vocal phenomenon, which is perhaps, un-
precedented. It is a girl only 18 years old, gifted with a bass
voice, which for extent and power rivals that of Lablache
Her name is Clorinda Senganelli. Yesterday she made her
debtlt at the opera of Messina in the part of Orovisto, in
Bellina's Norma, and was received with great favour. Her
success is, however, solely ascribable to the extraordinary
nature of her voice, for her method of singing is as yet very
imperfect. Madle. Senganelli, who was born in the village
of Galbi, near Syracuse, may be termed a rustic beauty ; she
is tall and broad shouldered, and her features, with her large
black eyes and long thick hair of the same hue, denote a
masculine and energetic temper. The municipal authorities
of this place intend to procure her admission into the Royal
Conservatoire of Music of Naples.
HowDEN GREAT HORSE FAlR.—Great preparations are
making by the innkeepers and others for the approaching
fair, it being confidently anticipated that the attendance of
foreigners, dealers, farmers, and graziers, will be very nume-
rous inconsequence of the great demand for horses in this
country and on the continent. The fame of the horses of
Yorkshire is deservedly spread, and they are so .highly es-
teemed, not only in this country, but in France, Germany,
Russia, America, and in other parts of the world, that dealers
come over, commissioned from emperors and kings, to buy
the horses of this county, at this celebrat:d mart, in order to
improve the breed of their own, for which they frequently
give exhorbitant prices. In the year 1200, King John granted
to Bishop Philip a license to hold an annual horse fair at
Howden, which is held on Sept. 25, and six following days,
and is admitted by dealers to be the largest and most cele-
brated horse fair in the kingdom.—Hull Times.
