Ii.HE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TIMSDAY, rtBRITARY 24, 1852,

Your Committee are aware of the complaint which begins to
be urged. especially by those Who do not thoughtfully consider
the case. against the. continued and increasing demand on be-
half of charitable and benevolent Institutions. Not only are
the Old Societies extending their machinery and widening their
sphere of operations, but new ones are being established to
meet particular cases and supply particular exigencies, which
formerly were unknown or unthought of. This is considered
by many unnecessary, if not injurious; and their cordial co-
operation is consequently withheld, under the impression that
some of these agencies might be dispensed with. But we
would earnestly urge that this should not be the effect pro-
duced. In our estimation such a state o' things calls rather
for gratitude than complaint, inasmuch as it marks a deeper
insight into the destitution by which we are surrounded, and a
more lively sem. a obligation on the part of those who ought
to relieve it. As it must cause pain to every benevolent heart
to witness the extension of unholy principles, and the esta-
blishment of fresh agencies of evil, it should be equally pro-
ductive of joy and satisfaction to see right principles more
widely diffused, and new germs of usefulness strengthened and
developed ►o maturity. Where there is healthy vitality at all,
there must be progress; and this progress itself creates the
necessity for further extension.
Hence it is that your Committee hail with the liveliest sense
of satisfaction the formation or the Scripture Readers' Society
recently established in your town, which they regard as a most
useful handmaid and assistant to our Society, and from whose
'Amin, in localities and amongst a class of people heretofore
considerably neglected, they anticipate the most important and
valuable results. Both, they feel assured, are required by the
exigencies of the times; and both, they hope, will receive the
cordial and substantial support of the public, for whose benetit
they are intended.

Your Committee regret ,o have to announce the resignation
of William Armstrong. Esq., their late valued and respected
Treasurer; and beg to tender him their sincere thanks for the
kindn ss and zeal with which he discharged the duties of that
office for so many years. They are happy at the same time to
be able to announce that John Grantham, Esq., has consented
to accept the vacant office.
They are furlherdeeply grieved to have to announce that their
excellent and zealous Senior Secretary, the Rev. Wm. Pollock,
whose increasing ministerial engagements are beginning to
tell with serious effect upon his health, has also tendered his
resignation; and in presenting to him their unanimous thanks
for his long and valuable services, characterized alike by judg-
ment, courtesy, and zeal, they pray earnestly that, with God's
blessing, he may again soon be restored to the enjoyment of
perfect health.
The Rev. C Cowan has consented to undertake the office
vacated by Mr. Pollock.
In closing this Report, your Committee take the liberty of
once more making a special appeal to the laity for increased
support, to enable the Pastoral Aid Society to extend its grants
to this town and other localities. The ruling principle of the
Society is, that " the Church," properly so called, is not con-
fined to any particular class or body of the people; that the
laity as well as the clergy are component parts of that " Church
of God, which He bath purchased with His own blood ;" and
that the laity, as well as the clergy, have their proper and un-
dou'bted duties to perform, in consulting for and securing the
welfare and happiness of the entire body. It will be an evil
day for England, and with England, for the cause of intelli-
gence, oftruth, of civil and religious liberty throughout the world,
whenever it becomes admitted that the clergy alone have
an interest in the support and protection of truth, or that
the laity have only a secondary duty to perform in the mainte-
nance of religion in the land. Drribtless to the clergy belong
the duties and functions peculiar to their order; but these
do not deprive the laity also of the duties and r spons bilities
which attach to them ; and it is earnestly and affectionately
hoped that these will not be lost sight of on the present occa-
sion ; but that all, united together under one Supreme Head,
will cooperate as " fellow-workers with Christ," to reclaim the
waste of ignorance and vice by which we are surrounded, and
convert it into a garden of zhe Lord; that " instead of the
thorn may come np the fir tree, and instead of the briar may
come up the myrtle tree."
Popery, infidelity, and vice, stand before us, as Jericho of old
(lid before the Jews. The God of Israel is our God. His word
is pledged to "be with us always." His right arm is raised to
help in time of need. The clergy, like the priests, are sound-
ing the trumpets, and walking round their fated walls; but un-
less the people " shout," the walls of Jericho will never fall.
The Rev. G. S. BULL then addressed the meeting at
considerable leugth, relating his experience amongst the
most ignorant portions of the population of the manu-
facturing and rural districts for the last thirty years,
all tending to show the value of, and necessity for, the
most energetic exertions on the part of the Pastoral Aid
Society. He concluded by moving the adoption of the
report, which had been read, and that it be printed and
circulated among the members of the society.
The Rev. G. A. ROGERS, in seconding the motion of
the preceding speaker, described the operations of the
Society in various parts of the kingdom. They now employed
338 incumbents, who bad charge of a population of about
245,962, giving an average to each of above 7000 souls.
This population equalled at least one-eightieth of the
population of England and Wales; so that it might be
taken that one-eightieth of the entire population of
England and Wales was more or less provided with re-
ligious instruction by the funds and agency of that
noble Society. The average income of those incum-
bents was but £2Ol ; and 184 of the number were
without parsonage houses. The grants made by the
society provided stipends for 310 clergymen, and 114 lay
assistants, at a charge to the body supplying them of
£37.000 per annum, wizen all the grants were occupied.
There were at the present time 277 clergymen employed,
and 100 lay assistants, causing the estimated charges of
the society now to amount to £33,366 per annum.
The resolution was put by the Chairman, and carried
unanimously.
Other addresses were subsequently delivered, and
resolutions passed ; but the meeting was protracted to so
late an h our, that we have been compelled to abridge ou
report of the proceedings.

LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL

SOCIETY.

The ninth meeting of the Literary and Philosophical
Society was held at the Royal Institution last evening,
Jos. B. YATES, Esq., President, in the chair.
The invitation to the British Association to meet in
Liverpool was renewed, and the President and Secretary
were authorised to communicate with the Town Council,
as well as with the secretaries of the other learned so-
cieties in town.
Mr. Behrend drew attention to the peculiar metres
of Hebrew poetry, as recently discovered by some Ger-
man linguists in the MSS. at Oxford. At the request of
the society, he agreed to write a short paper on the sub-
ject for next meeting.
The President laid on the table a facsimile of Wolfe's
poem on the Burial of Sir John Aloore.
Mr. Byerly exhibited a rude sort of glair formed at
Hoylake, by the burning of a stack of oats. The silex
existed in the straw, and the sand on the ground.
It was announced that Sir Frederick Madden had pur-
chased the beautiful MSS. of the Rev. John Tobin, in.
eluding the Bedford Missal, for the British Museum.
The paper for the evening was then read by Mr. Joseph
Boult, on " Standards of Taste, Supposititious and
Arbitrary."

RESIGNATION OF THE CABINET.

FROM THIS MORNING HERALD.
Lord Derby, by special command of her Majesty, has
been instructed to form bn administration, The noble
lord arrived at ilia residence in St. James'essemare !Shortly
before seven o'clock on Saturday, and a few Moments
afterwards a messenger from the Queen arrived, com-
manding his attendance at Buckingham Palace at half-
past two on Sunday. The noble lord remained with her
Majesty about three-quarters of an hour, and with that
zeal and ability for which he has always been conspicuous,
has undertaken the formation of the cabinet. The names
which we are enabled to prefix will, we think, be a suffi-
cient guarantee that Lord Derby has set about the task,
thus imposed on him by his sovereign, with assiduity and
earnestness ; and that the arrangements which he has
made for conducting the government of the country will
meet with general satisfaction.
The speculations which have been afloat for the last
few hours, and which served to amuse the idleness or
exercise the ingenuity of the loungers, either at the clubs
or at journal offices, may now give way to certainty.
Many of those surmises must have been highly amusing
to those who were behind the curtain, and who listened
(themselves unseen) to the gratuitous assumptions of
learned quidnuncs with regard to the principles and the
appointments of the noble lord. He does not intend to
abjure either Protestantism or Protection ; he does not
intend to form a coalition either with Whigs or Peelites ;
be does not intend (after the approved fashion of the
present day) to abandon those principles to which he has
long given in his adherence, and which will form the
basis of his administrative policy. Sound protection for
British industry in its several branches is what the nation
desires, and the adjustment of those difficulties and the
amelioration of those evils which have imperceptibly,
almost, gathered round our social system. The weekly
organ of the late Ministry, sad, like another Othello,
I when " his occupation is gone," vents his spleen by pre-
dicating that Lord Derby is in no better condition for
accepting office now than he was last year. He is ready
to stake his credit on it ; he speculates on the chance of
Lord Derby's intent to cajole ' his confiding followers."
Our contemporary's connexions have not in this respect
been of the most reputable kind ; he has thrown in his
i lot with a set, of politicians to whom the act which he
would attribute to Lord Derby has become familiar ; and
be judges of others by himself and his own acquaintances.
The noble lord will not gratify him ; and it may cure his
biliousness to be told that he is a false prophet in both
his speculations Lord Derby will not forsake nor deceive
his party; his administration is nearly formed, and is in
working trim. We accept our contemporary's cry : THE
PROTECTIONISTS ARE READY. We accept also the chal-
lenge which he would place in the mouth of the people—
So ARE WE. We wish nothing more than fair play and
no favour ; that the people of England should weigh well
I the measures to be proposed to them, and test the states-
I men whom Lord Derby has called to share in the admin.
I istration, with those who have retired from, or with those
who are candidates for office.
It is an ungracious task to trample on the fallen, and
one for which we have not the least inclination. Still,
when the task is forced upon us, and " progressive pro-
sperity and peaceful snccess" are claimed for the late
Administration (can we believe our eyes !), we must ask,
where are the proofs ? Is this praise undeserved a satire
in disguise ? Is there any party in the nation who will
take up this cry of the late ministerial advocates, and
venture to respond to their hollow voice, which can cre-
ate no enthusiasm, no sympathy, itself devoid of both ?
Peace, prosperity, success l"—they sound strange :
where are they ? Perhaps we are to look for them in
Kaffraria, or in our colonies, and their satisfactory rela-
tions with the mother country. Perhaps, they lurk
nearer home; for lurk they do wherever they are; unless
they exist only in the brain of the writer. Perhaps, he
finds this peace and prosperity in the condition of the
agriculturists, or in the relations now existing between
I masters and workmen ! Perhaps, what all others have
been trembling at as indicative of war, to him wears the
aspect of peace and prosperity. Who can account for
such perversions ?
I Equally are we at a loss to discover the progressive
success that he boasts of. We have been labouring for
I several years past under a Ministerial incubus, dreaming
I sometimes of great, sometimes of horrible things, but
realising nothing. We have scarcely vegetated—rooted to
the spot, and it is the bitterest of all sarcasms to ridicule
such a state of things by the name of progress. The
ministry could scarcely hold together, an unusual activity
would have shaken them to pieces, a step more rapid than
ordinary brought on a crisis. Their progression has been
I to the rear ' • their success is chronicled in the budgets of
Sir Charles Wood and the dispatches of Earl Grey. If
such incaoables can command the admiration of our con-
temporaries, that admiration does not require any great
things to fan it into being ; and the noble lord who has
now been called to direct the councils of the nation, may
rest perfectly satisfied of the applause of such easily-
contented individuals, if, like his predecessor, he does no
more than bring in measures which he has no intention to
press, or pockets the salary of office, without being over-
solicitous about the duties.
Of this, however, we have no apprehension. A strong
and vigorous government is required, and such a one shall
we now have; one, too, that shall not fall into the drivel-
, ling, captious indifferentism of its predecessor. The '
na-
tion knows what Lord Derby is, and what it has to expect
from him. There can be no mistake; no sailing under
false colours. There can be no hypocrisy or deceit with
respect to the principles of the noble lord, or of those who
are associated with him. The nation will recognise in the
names of more than one of them, men of talent, long expe-
rience, and well-earned reputation ; men, also, to
whose temper, firmness, and prudence, those reforms
way be intrusted which have been so long and
so vainly desired. Unquestionably Lord Derby has
a hard task before him ; he has to repair the
evils and correct the errors of his predec, ssors in more
than one department of the State—errors and evils which
have taken deep root, and will not very easily be eradi-
cated. He will have to retrace false steps, committed by
men who will have escaped the responsibility of their mis-
deeds. He will have to diffuse vigour where before there
was nothing but weakness and incapacity ; he will have to
grapple with difficulties, which have become more per-
plexed in consequence of the inefficiency of those who
have tampered with these difficulties.
At the same time he has the means for carrying out
these various functions with ability and energy. He will
