UNITARIAN CONTROVERSY.

AT the FOURTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING of the
BRITISH and FOREIGN UNITARIAN ASSOCIA-
TION, held in the Chapel, in Little Portland-street, Regent-
street, London, on WEDNESDAY, the 19th June,
JAMES ESDAILE, Esq. in the Chair ;
It was Resolved,
That we desire to express our simpathy with the labours,
and our high appreciation of the zeal and ability, of the three
Unitarian Ministers who have recently conducted a Contro-
versy, at Liverpool, with thirteen Clergymen of the Church
of England, and particularly to record our approval of the
sentiment, that whilst the Improved Version has never been
set forth by us as a creed or test by which any Member of
this Association, much less of the Unitarian body generally,
is in any respect bound, it may justly be regarded as a truly
valuable aid to the English student, in attaining a knowledge
of the correct text and the genuine sense of the Greek
Testament.

SHAVING ON SUNDAYS.

A public informer, an idle tailor, naned Richard Kelley-,
yesterday lodged several informations ag,ainst barbers for ex-
ercising their vocation on Sunday.—The first was against
John Currie, whom, he said, he found lathering a man on
Sunday last, preparatory to shaving him. The defendant
was fined ss.—The next case was agai ist a man named Ben-
yon, residing in Forest-street. Tne informer had, it ap-
peared, knocked at the defendant's door, and earnestly re-
quested to be shaved. The operation was performed. Mr.
Rushton expressed his indignation that a man should first
induce another to break the law, and then become the in-
formant ; and regretted he had not the power to fine him too.
The defendant said he lived in a back street, and could not
make a living if he were not allowed to shave on Sunday
mornings. Mr. Rushton said that the act under which the
information was laid was passed so far back as the reign of
Charles 11., and the magistrates had no power to mitigate it.
The defendant must therefore pay ss.—Willia►n Blacket, of
Cable-street, was next informed against by the tailor, for
shaving a man on the 23d of June. The defendant said the
informer actually burst in his door, and that he had shaved
no one that day. He produced a witness who stated that he
was present when the door was forcibly opened ; that a man
came in, who said he was going to the funeral of one of his
own children, and wished to be shaved ; that the defendant
refused ; but allowed the man to shave himself. He added
that the informant (who wished to be shaved) had said he was
sent there by Jack Christian, whom he wished to see ; that
Jack was sent for in the neighbourhood, but the informer
went off before he could arrive. The case was dismissed.—
Two other informations were laid against other parties, but
were dismissed, the documents being erroneous.—Another
information was laid against Currie's shop in London Road,
by Richard Latham, and the fine was levied.

ASSAULT UPON A FEMALE AT A FUNERAL.

A man named Griffith Roberts, master of a small vessel,
stood charged with having assaulted a female, one of the
mourners at a funeral. The Rev. Mr. Appleton said that on
Wednesday, while he was performing the service for the dead
over the grave of a young man in St. Martin's churchyard,
in presence of a large funeral party, the prisoner, who was
accompanied by another young man, rushed into the ground,
and flew at one of the females who was in mourning. Wit-
ness and some others, seeing that he was in an infuriated
state, protected the female from his further violence by push-
ing him, and they sent for a police-officer who secured him.
The prisoner said that the woman was his wife, and he was
driven to such a state of mind by what he had heard of her
conduct, that he did not know what he was about, and deeply
regretted what had taken place. The rev. gentleman, he
believed from what he afterwards learned, had had great pro-
vocation. It appeared that his wife had formerly cohabited
with the young man whose funeral rites were disturbed, and
that she had taken leave of her husband a short time before
when he went out, with a great show of affection. During his
absence she had, without his knowledge, gone to the funeral,
which he was informed of on his return rather earlier than
usual, and hence the disturbance in the churchyard.—Mr.
Rushton strongly reprehended the conduct of the prisoner,
in suffering his passions so far to overcome him, and dis-
charged him.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1839-07-05

CAUTION.

A respectable looking man, apparently mate of a vessel,
was placed at the bar, charged with being found, on the pre-
vious afternoon, with about 141 b weight of tobaccb in his
possession. Mr. Brooke, solicitor of the Customs, was in
attendance, and after some preliminary evidence of the illicit
possession was given, the prisioner was remanded until Wed-
nesday next, with an intimation from the Bench that he would
then be put upon his trial, and might in the interim prepare
for his defense. He belonged to a vessel called the Palmyra.
The prisoner was formerly arrested by Mr. Warman, of the
Customs.

WEST OF ENGLAND FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
CAPITAL, £600,000.

President—The Right Hon'ourable the Earl of DEVON.
FIFTH DIVIDEND TO THE INSURED.

PERSONS insured against Fire to the extent of £3OO and
upwards, whose Policies continued in farce-at Christmas,
1837, and who had then been insured -Two Years at least,
are hereby informed, that the Fifth Dividend, calculated on
the Nett Amount of the Premiums paid by them, from
Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837, is now payable at the
Company's Office in Exeter, and by the Agents with whom
the Insurances are effected, or renewed.

FIRE INSURANCES 'continue to be granted on the
above plan of admitting the Insured into'a participation of
the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the
Public have already derived considerable returns.
LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on
Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de-
cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future
Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad-
vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders
the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In-
sured. _ - .

This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti-
mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from
the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the
Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is
not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies.
.

The Company does not pride itself on account of the large
amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape
of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather
refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured
are, beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to
them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of
Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the
Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, will
prove :

A THIEF DISAPPOINTED.

A young black, named John Williams, stood charged with
having entered the house of a Mrs. Beale, of Union-street,
on the previous night, with intent, doubtless, to commit a
felony. It appearedfrom the evidence of the son and daughter
of the female named, that between eleven and twelve o'clock,
the former had gone on some errand a few doors distant, and
as he was momentarily expected back, his sister did not
latch the door after him, but left it so that he might get in
without knocking. He had scarcely gone when Miss B. saw
somebody enter, and go up stairs. She at first thought it
was her brother ; but afterwards cried up stairs " who's
there ?" No answer was given, and on going up stairs, she
found the delinquent lying under the bed in one of the upper
rooms. Her brother came up, and also saw him in the same
position. He was then given into custody. The prisoner
made an unavailable defence,—stating he had some months
since been the steward of a vessel. He was committed to
hard labour for three months.

Brokers, Exchange-street East.
The Admission Tickets to the Grand Stand will be for-
warded to the Proprietors before the ensuing July Races.
Each Proprietor of a £25 Share will be entitled to a trans-
ferable Silver Ticket of admission to the Grand Stand at all
Racing Meetings, in addition to his proportion of the annual
profits. The Silver Ticket alone will realize a per centage of
nearly ten per cent.
Each Subscriber upon paying the sum of £lO, and ex.
ecuting the deed of settlement at the Office of Messrs.
SHACKLETON, WRIGHT, and HUNTER, will receive a ticket
which will entitle him to free admission on the Grand Stand
at the next ensuing Races ; and, upon payment of th4re.
mainder, namely, £l5, to be paid within twelve months, as
the Directors shall order, will be entitled to a Silver Ticket
and a Certificate of Proprietorship.
The Silver Tickets are now in a forward state of manufacture,
and will be ready for delivery to Proprietors wishing to have
them prior to the following Autumn Meeting, on application
as above.

The Proprietary already embodies many of the most in-
fluential noblemen and gentlemen of the surrounding neigh-
bourhood.

It is superfluous to enumerate the many advantages which
the Aintree Race-course possesses over every other in this
part of the kingdom, whether considered with reference to
the splendour of the buildings, the extent and beauty of the
course itself, or its locality, so central for all the northern
supporters of the turf. It is unquestionable, however, that
under a judicious arrangement, like the one now established,
these advantages will be greatly extended, and be made to
increase with each succeeding year.
A most important alteration has already been made by the
Racing Committee—the removal of the Heaton Park Races
to Liverpool, as an Autumn Meeting, (which will take place
in September next,) which must unquestionably add very
materially to their future celebrity and value.
Application for Proprietors' Tickets to be made to Messrs.
SHACKLETON, WRIGHT, and HUNTER, Solicitors, Bruns-
wick-street, and to Messrs. DANIEL and JOHN B. NEILSON,
Share Brokers, Exchange-street East.

Firm of LE DRAY and CO., London.

SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.
MON S. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, Without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed intoithe cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds is hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresti all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the opera nof extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral 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 invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums. there
are 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 remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, 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 springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,—
at the following Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas

Loose Teeth fastened,_ arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,

HOSTILITIES IN THE EAST.

Mr. HUME asked Lord Palmerston whether, in conse-
quence of the news just received from abroad, relating to the
hostilities in the east, he had any objection to lay upon the
table of the house the despatches and papers relating to the
convention of the 20th of April, 1823, which led to the esta-
blishment of a treaty of peace between Mehemet Ali and the
Porte, in order that the house might know what engagements
had been incurred on the part of this country, with reference
to the belligerent parties.
Lord PALMERSTON said, that accounts bad been received
from Constantinople, which did not actually state that hos-
tilities had commenced, but that there was great apprehen-
sion that they might soon be expected to commence. With
regard to the convention referred to by the hon. member,
there never had been any treaty or formal document drawn
up between the Sultan and the Pasha of Egypt ; but an ar-
rangement was made, by which the Sultan undertook to
nominate Mehemet Ali as the governor of certain pashalics,
but the execution of that agreement had not been embodied
in any convention ; the fact was merely communicated in the
annual list of pashalics. He did not know that there would
be any objection to the production of the despatches, but if
the hon. gentleman would allow him to look through them,
he would be better able to answer the question.

EPITAPH.

The following is a correct copy of an epitaph found in the
churchyard at Sutton, near Epsom, Surrey, on the tomb of
William Juniper. 1812.
My sledge ande hammer lye declined,
My bellos too have loste their Winde ;
My fyre extincte, my forge decayed,
And in the duste my Vice is layde ;
My coals are spente, my irone gon ;
My nayls are druv, my worke Is dun ;
My fyre-dryed corse here lyes at reste ;
My soul (smoke like) soars to be bleste.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 29.

The supplies of British Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal continue very
small, nor are the arrivals from abroad, since this day se'nninght,
to a large amount. The advance of the duty on foreign Wheat to
13s 8d per quarter, and less favourable accounts of the crops from
the interior, have given a firmer tone to the trade ; and, although
we cannot quote any advance in prices generally, we have to report
more disposition to purchase at our last quotations.—Several large
parcels of barrel Flour have been sold at 345 to 36s per barrel, at
which rates this article has been an obstacle to the sale of home
manufacture.—Oats and Oatmeal have been much neglected : the
former may be bought at fully Id per bushel and the latter at 6d per
load below our previous currency.—Barley has found buyers for
grinding at 4s gd to is 3d per 601b5.--Beans and Peas remain as last
noted.

THE PRINCIPAL SALOON.

This beautiful and splendid apartment is approached by
a handsome staircase of two flights, which at once inducts
the visitor into a kind of architecture below. It is in the
Elizabethan gothic, or a rather earlier style ; the railings
ofpolished oak, enriched with pannels and other ornaments.
At the bottom of the stairs, there is a considerable space
forming a vestibule to the main cabins, beautifully em-
pannelled in oak. On each side of this there are gothic doors
leading to the spacious state room. The principal saloon (stern-
wards), is constructed and furnished in the English gothic style,
with elaborate carving, devices, and decorations. No one who
has not seen such an apartment (if such there be) on shore,
can form any conception of the magnificent effect produced.
The room is of great breadth, widening at the stern in the
form of a crescent. '1 he enriched oak-work pannelling rises
to the surbase. Oak pilasters rise to the roof, and the
pannels in several of them alternately are mirrors. Four
large mirrors are also fixed on each side, in antique oak
frames, with gilded mouldings. Above the surface all
round are painted historical representations within upright
ovals, of scenes in royal life in England in former times,—
Mary, Queen of Scats—Queen Elizabeth, King Alfred,
painted on a sort of rough or embossed canvas, so as to
represent ancient tapestry or d d needlework. There is
Magna Charts., Lady Jane Clay, &c. These are delicately
much elaborate carving in the cornicings, and between the
beams there is a horizontal enriched breadth of pannelling,
richly gilded. The furniture corresponds. The couches
and chairs are of polished oak, richly and antiquely carved ;
and upholstered in crimson figured velvet. The tables, eight
iu number, are in the same style ; but by some anomaly are
of mahogany instead of oak. At the stern the seats form
a semi-circle of great extent, one row over the other, like an
elegant gallery of a theatre, and the higher range divided
from the lower, by a finely carved open-work railwork or
balustrade. The carpets are of velvet of beautiful bright par-
tern, and beneath are handsome wax cloths. The mizen-
mast and rudder are covered in rich gothic painted work and
carvings. At the bow end is a fire-place with a patent grate
of exquisite workmanship—the chimney-piece supported by
four decorative columns. The state rooms are most splendid
and spacious, fitted up in the most elegant manner, with silk
curtains, marble washing tables, &c. The whole is lighted
by seven windows in the stern, three large deck lights, beau-
tifully constructed, and two lights at the bow end from deco-
rated or stained glass. Below this grand cabin there are.
ranges of sleeping rooms elegantly fitted up, on each side of
two spacious passages as wide as those of an inn. In the
long saloon 180. passengers may dine.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY.

The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented a petition from ano-
ther deanery, and stated that he had now presented petitions
from all the deaneries in his diocese against the Church
Discipline" Bill.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said, that tomorrow (Friday)
be would move the.second reading of the Jamaica Bill, as he
understood there would be no opposition to his doing so ; after
which, counsel might be heard upon it, and the discussion
might take place on Monday.
BILLS OF EXCHANGE BILL.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in moving the third reading
of this bill, said it was his intention to add two amendments
by way of rider, and wished to call the attention of the noble
duke (Wellington). though he did not expect that they would
be objected to. One was, to extend the operation of the bill
• to warrants of goods, bills of lading, or other commercial se-
curities ; the other was to allow interest above five per cent
to be taken on forbearance. It was well known that in many
. cases bills became due before the acceptors were in a condition
to pay them, on the forbearanee of the holder, which might
he considered a renewal of the loan ; it would be a benefit to
the commercial world to allow the principle of the bill to ex-
tend to such " forbearance."
A short discussion ensued.'
Lord BROUGHAM would caution their lordships against the
_ use of such general terms as " or other commercial securities."
He was alarmed at the possible construction which a court of
law might put on those words. Many things might be con-
sidered commercial securities which the legislature did not
contemplate in the application of the principle of the bill.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE consented that those words
" bills of lading, or other commercial securities," should be
struck out.
On the next clause being read, allowing interest above five
per cent to parties holding bills on forbearance, Lord WYN-
FORD contended, that the clause would be virtually a repeal
of the usury laws.
The Marquis of LANsnowriz briefly defended the clause
Lord ELLENBOROUGH suggested, that it would be better
to have these clauses printed, and stand over for consideration
till next day.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not object, and thus the
matter stood over to Friday.

TATTERSALL'S-THURSD AY.

If the attendance was not so full as on Monday, the betting
was quite as brisk, and considerably more important in its
results. Taking the various events speculated on in due
order, we must begin with the July Stakes, which, however
bad as a betting race, is not without interest, inasmuch as
Crucifix, Stamboul, and the Margaret colt are in force, while
nothing is said about Hellespont and St. still
eiiiawbfooTktaireestZillt lis nqt t than we rgaevight. e
Tues-
day,4ne- but what is deficient in number will be found made up
in the extent of the alterations effected. Miss Eliza closed
at 18 to 1 on Monday, and is now first favourite at eight
points less, with plenty of backers; she is closely followed'
by Wee and the Lord Mayor, whose friends are neither
few nor shy. The weight of the betting was upon those
three, the outsiders, for so they may be termed now, remain-
ing, with little variation, at Monday's prices. The Good-
wood Cup has also undergone a change of some moment,
Galewood having sprung to 6 to 1 (taken,) and Harkaway
declined to 7 to 1 • his party is small, and not wanting in
confidence. For the St. Leger, the Commodore retrograded
to 15 to I, owing to letters from Newcastle having stated him
to be amiss ; no one would bet more than 12 to 1 against
Provost, and, although a couple of bets at 35 to 1 were, by a
slight oversight, laid against The Lord May or, his market
price cannot be quoted at a point more than 25 to 1. No-
thing was said about Bloomsbury. Closing odds :
