PORTRAITS AND MEMOIRS OF THE

ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER DISTIN-

GUISHED DIGNITARIES AND CLERGYMEN
OF THE

UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND,
AND OF THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND,
AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A.
IT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise
a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of
the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and
Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland,
both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal Church of
Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant
Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of
America ; and the distinguished:patronage with which this
undertaking has been already honoured, inspires the Pro-
prietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to
the nation at large, as well as to the members of our venera-
ble and Apostolic Church.
The value of this Work will be obvious to all who desire
to see the sacred ties of Christian affection drawn more closely
between the respective orders and ranks of the Clergy and
their Congregations. To the Clergy who may wish to possess
Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are over
them in the Lord," and likewise of their College and Clerical
friends ; and of living authors whom they have read and
esteem, the present Work will be full of interest and pleasure.
To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica-
tion be able individually to possess themselves ofp. faithful
Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantages
of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom
they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake."
The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will
also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures
of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In
all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of
becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the
Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The
Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political
or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical
rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal,
being the great objects proposed to be recorded.
_ _

The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the academical
course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is
given, together with a list of any religious or literary works
which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while
all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will
be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority,
that it would add much to the interest and value of the work,

if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a
passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to
this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such
communications. And as only about four pages on an
average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural
illustration, brevity will be highly desirable.
The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art,
and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great
Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and
one of the most splendid that has ever appeared.
A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective
Memoir, will be published on the first day of every alternate
month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of
the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by
seven. s. d.

They will be carefully preserved, and returned free of expense ;

GOOD NEWS FOR THE MILLION.
" °PIFER PER ORBEM DICOR."

DALEY, the greatest of moral philosophers, truly ermine-
rates Children as among the principal sources of human
happiness. At no period is human life so precarious as in
the early stages of Infancy ; for it is a fact, no less lament-
able than true, that, at the least, one-half of the Children
born in Great Britain perish in a state of Infancy_: Of these,
some die for want of Medicine, but by far the greater portion
from the abuse of it. Pernicious stupefactives, whose basis
is laudanum or other opiates, are constantly administered to
tender Infants, especially among the poorer classes. These
dangerous compounds allay pain for a time, by stupifyiag the
senses, but ultimately leave the agonized little sufferer in a
worse state than before. The ignorant and deluded, though
anxious, well-meaning, and affectionate Mother, thus pro-
cures herself a little more ease from nursing, but her darling
child either shortly perishes, or, if it survive, it is only to pass
its mortal pilgrimage (from its constitution having been thus
enervated and undermined) in a state of lethargic insensibi-
lit7. Deeply impressed with the magnitude of these serious
evils, and animated with a truly philanthropic zeal to arrest
their progress, it was that the late Mr, Atkinson (a man of
original talent, and of superior intellectual attainments gene-
rally, as well as a skilful chemist and apothecary) directed
his best energies to the formation of a compound suited to
the various complaints of Infants. His laudable efforts were
at length crowned with the success they so well merited, in
the production of that most invaluable Preparation,
ATKINSON'S INFANT'S PRESERVATIVE !

which has now stood the test of analysis, the test of trial,
and, above all, the fiery ordeal of public opinion, for nearly
half a century, and of which Seventy Thousand Bottles are
annually sold in Great Britain. In short, whether this Me-
dicine be destined to enter the palace or the humblest cottage,
the Proprietor feels an honest conviction of its power to as-
suage maternal pain for Infant suffering, to convert that pain
into gladness, that suffering into balmy repose.
As a preventive against, and a cure for, those complaints
to which Infants are liable, as Affections of the Bowels, dif-
ficult Teething, Convulsions, Rickets, &c., it is a pleasant,
innocent, and efficacious Carminative, and an admirable as-
sistant to Nature during the progress of the looping Cough,
the Measles, and the Cow Pox, or Vaccine Inoculation ; and,
it may be added, that this Medicine is so perfectly innocent,
that it may be given with the greatest safety to an Infant
immediately after birth.

cessor to, and formerly Partner with Mr. Atkinson), Che-
mist and Druggist, 1, Market-place, and 8, Oldham-street,
Manchester, in moulded bottles, at ls. 2*. 9d., and
4s. 6d. each. Sold, retail, by most respectable Medicine
Venders in town and country.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.

We are not aware of any offer having been made to consti-
tute a decided first favourite for the Derby Stakes. In the
course of the present day, 18 to 1 were offered in ponies against
the Marquis of Westminster's horse, and the same figure
against Lord Orford's son of Clearwell ; no doubt 20 to 1
would be taken about either. In a good quarter 100 to 6 was
offered against any two ; and, as 18 to 1 was proposed against
two of the three principal favourites, it is reasonable to sup-
pose Mr. Wreford's horse (if there existed a desire to bring
him a mere prominent favourite) would be accepted upon at
the London quotation. Nothing of moment has been done
on either Lord Jersey's or Mr. Robinson's horses. ur-
rent of betting has, since Saturday, been unquestilty in
favour of brother to Euclid, Bokhara, Maroon, Marinello
colt, and another horse from the almost overwhelming stud
at Whitewall, near Walton. The first named has been backed
at 1,000 to 30, and at 600 to 20 in one hand, and since at 500
to 16, which may be considered the extent the fieldsmen offer
to a sum. At 20 to 1 the brother to Euclid has been backed
very freely, and for considerable sums ; at noon the price was
asked for in vain ; 18 to 1 in ponies offered, and several in-
fluential speculators were open to proceed at 500 to 30, &c.
The Marinelle colt has been backed against Grey Milton for
five hundred at evens. Gambia was introduced by one of our
leaders this morning : he got on at fifties to one in ponies,
repeated in another quarter, and some minor sums. We should
imagine five points less will now be the current odds. Seve-
ral other horses were offered against at 40 to 1, such as Wild
Duck, Zilgray, brother to Melbourne, Molyneux, Grey Mil-
ton ; but we noticed nothing done upon them.
The prices against the horses in most force, or standing the
highest on the list, are
THE DERBY.
164 to 1 against Mr. Wreford's Wardan.
18 to 1 ~ Lord Orford's Angelica colt.—off
18 to 1 ~ Lord Westminster's Launcelot.—off

100 to 8 „ Lord Exeter's lot.—taken

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

Business this afternoon was the reverse of brisk, nor were
there many changes in the odds, the favourites, as before
being in a cluster. Wardan just has the call, and no more ;
Muley Ishmael and the Angelica colt followed close at his
heels, with little or nothing to choose between them.
Launcelot was backed once at 20, and afterwards at 18 to 1 ;
the latter being the offering price at the close. Brother to
Euclid was in some favour ; 22 to 1 was betted once, but at
the finish no one offered more than 20 to 1. A few others
were backed, without leading to any alteration worthy of
notice. Closing prices :

The Duke of Wellington has appointed Colonel Gurwood
deputy-governor of the Tower of London.

A gentleman named Thompson, a barrister, committed sui•
tide at his chambers, in Harcourt-buildings, Inner Temple,
on Friday night or Saturday morning last.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.—A subscription is in progress of
collection in Warrington for the purchase of a peal of bells
for this church. Already the sumof £250 has been collected.
CHIEF CONSTABLE OF LANCASHIRE.—We understand
that Captain Woodford, of Preston is offering himself as a
candidate for the appointment of chief officer of the projected
new police.—Blackburn Standard.

A highly important conservative gathering has been held in
Berwick, shewing most unequivocally that conservatism is on
the increase in that quarter, in common with every other
corner of the island.

It is astonishing what the inventive genius of a Whig in
distress is capable of. Munchausen must have been a Whig
—probably the second—every body knows that a still greater
" father of lies" was thefirst.—Herald. •

The return of members in the Methodist Episcopal Church
of the United States has just been completed, and we un-
derstand, that eighty-three thousand members have been
added to the connexion there during the last two years.

A third application is, it appears, to be made in the ensu-
ing session of parliament, for an act to continue the New-
castle end North Shields railway to the west end of Prior's
Haven, at Tynemouth, and to obtain powers for that purpose
to raise money.—Newcastle Journal.
PETERSFIELD.—There is a rumour here, that C. J. Hec-
tor, Esq. M. P. declines standing any more for the borough
of Petersfield after the close of the present parliament. J.
B. Carter, Esq. son of the late worthy member for Ports-
mouth, is talked of as likely to succeed Mr. Hector in the
reform interest.—Hants Independent.
POST-OFFICE REFORM.—It is reported that Mr. Hill is to
be shelved; his calculations having so conglomerated the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he is now really alarmed
about that branch of the revenue. Moreover, it is asserted,
that Lord Lichfield and the other Post-office authorities con-
sider that Mr. Hill's project will totally derange the regu-
larity of business, and that his lordship has threatened to re-
sign if Mr. Hill is forced upon them.—Morning Herald.
NEWNHAM PADDOX.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager
is expected to pay her second visit to the Earl and Countess
