PROPOSED CHURCH IN LIVERPOOL
FOR AILY PRAYERS, WEEKLY COMMUNION,
AND THE D
CELEBRATION OF ALL THE OFFICES OF
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
The want of such a place of Worship, in ,a convenient lo-
cality, is deeply felt by many of the InhabitantsofLiverpool ;
a Church, in-which nothing shall be omitted which may tend
to the decency devotion, and solemnity of the Anglican
Worship; and in which a good Choral Service may be corn
bined with a hearty congregational response; a Church, in
which kneeling accommodation, and not the number of sit-
tings, shall be considered of the first importance; and in
which the poor shall have equal rights with-the rich. It is
proposed to build a Churn, architecturally coned, 'without
galleries or enclosed pews, and free to all corners ; the requi-
site expenses to be defrayed by the weekly 'Offertory, and
such Endowment as may be provided for perpetuating ser-
vices strictly in accordance with the doctrine and-discipline
of the Church of 'England.
£2,800 have already been-subscribed, and in part paid by a
hundred and thirty contributors, of whom thirty-two are
Clergymen. A list of these will, on application, be furnished
to any one interested in the project; and the Committee
earnestly solicit donations from all classes, under the wrsua-
sion that, in this large and wealthy community. there cannot
be wanting a sufficient number of sound Churchmen to en-
sure success to such an undertakinrr.

URGENT APPEAL FOR INCREASED FUNDS.
A crisis in the affairs of the Society renders it imperative
that a decisive effort should at once be
made to enlarge its
resources. The recent union with the latsit SOCIETY OF
LONDON has,greatly increased its field of labour in Ireland.
The responsibtlity of maintaining several additional Missions
has fallen on tLe Society. The representations so often made,
of the augmented resources which were to be expected in the
event of the union taking place, have not as yet been rea-
lized, and without a very considerable and immediate addi-
tion to the finances, the Committee will be under the painful
alternative of having to consider in what quarter to curtail
operations. Meanwhile the reports from every part of the
Missionary field evidence the necessity for continuous and
increasing effort, and the extent of the success which, through
God's blessing, may be expected.
The Committee, in prayerful dependence .on Him to whom
belongs the silver and the gold, earnestly call upon those who
sympathise in the Reformation movement to rally in its be-
half at this critical period of the Society's urgent need.
Annual Subscriptions and Donations to the Society for
Irish Church Missions to the Roman Catholics will be received

Mall ; or by the Treasurer, Sir Jon N DEAN PAUL, Bart., at

ST. HELENS RAILWAY ComrANY,—A special meeting
of the shareholders in this railway was held yesterday, at
St. Helens, for the purpose of sanctioning the conversion
of the different classes of shares into stock, in accordance
with the provisions of an act of parliament recently ob-
tained. There was a very limited number of shareholders
present, and the proceedings were of a strictly formal cha-
racter. Mr. Gilbert Greenall, M.P., chairman of the
board of directors, presided. A resolution for the conver-
sion of the different shares into stock, pursuant to the act,
was proposed and carried without discussion, and the pro
ceedings terminated.
ALLEGED LAWLESS OUTRAGE, IN GASCOIGNE-STREET.
—At the close of the proceedings in the Police Court,
yesterday, a labouring man residing in Gascoigne-street,
made an application to Mr. Mansfield for warrants against
several persons whom he named, for a violent assault
committed upon him on Sunday
evening, under the fol-
lowing circumstances. The personal appearance of the
complainant gave unmistakeable evidence of the brutal
treatment he had received. His head was bound up, and
his face dreadfully cut, his shirt and a considerable por-
tion of his wearing apparel were covered with blood. The
complainant stated that when he went home to his house
in Gascoigne-street, on Sunday evening, he found it occu-
pied by a number of men who reside in the street. They
were creating a great disturbance, and when he made his
appearance at the door, some one called out, " There he
is !" on which several of them rushed at him with a
poker, tongs, and other weapons in their hands, and made
a violent attack upon his person, and he
was obliged to
make his escape, considering that his life was in danger.
There were four policemen in the neighbourhood, and on
being assaulted by the men in the house, the complainant
claimed the protection of the police, and gave his assail-
ants in charge, but the police refused to take the men into
custody, and told complainant that if he did not go away
they would lock him up. Mr. Mansfield inquired of the
complainant if he knew the names of the men. When he
replied, that he did know the names of several of them,
and that they were a nuisance to the neighbourhood,
being well known as professed thieves. After a conver-
sation with Mr. Clough, the in-door superintendent of the
police, the magistrate directed
that gentleman to make a
full inquiry into all the circumstances of the case, includ-
ing the alleged negligence of the officers on duty, and the
further investigation of the affair way adjourned AT a week.
